Xianyuan Guangjin

The tedious official duties were finally over, and the two were temporarily arranged in a courtyard in the front yard of the palace to adapt to official duties. The courtyard is not big, and two rooms are suitable for each of them. They have just been assigned fiefdoms and official titles One is Chaomu's fourth-rank Minister of the Ministry of War, and the other is Ru Tianyuan's fourth-rank Minister of Rites

The two waited in the room for a while, and then Qiu Wu hurried in, "I've seen..." Just as she was about to salute, she saw Ru Tianyuan, who was standing beside her, vigilantly touched the short knife hidden in her waist

Zhao Mu stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder and pushed back the half-drawn knife, "It's okay, Xiao Wu is one of his own, so there's no need to avoid suspicion."

Qiu Wu looked at Chao Mu and said in a low voice, "Return to the devil...Young master, Qiu Wu has discovered two strange things in the past three days, and heard a few strange rumors. You are not allowed to go out, especially the women in the harem are not allowed to get close to the cold palace. The other is the change of the moon. I have verified the first rumor. The emperor will send the women in the harem to the cold palace every night. Only some maids were sent in, and no one saw them after entering. The emperor was gentle and amiable during the day, and seemed to be a different person at night, but no one in the palace dared to spread any more hatred dances. These"

Chao Mu nodded and asked, "I understand roughly, there are suspects around Xuanyuan Lake."

Qiu Wu nodded and said, "Yes, it's that Eunuch Song. The one you saw today is the man standing next to the emperor. He is a popular person next to the emperor. I can feel that there is a demon in his body when I contact him several times. gas"

Chao Mu took a look at Ru Tianyuan, and found that Ru Tianyuan was also looking at him, and in his hands were holding a few paper cranes that had just flown back.

"Brother Tianyuan found something?" Zhao Mu asked

"Well, the paper crane brought back the smell. There is a palace in the southeast, and there is a stone elephant in the palace. There should be a secret passage under the stone elephant," Ru Tianyuan said.

Qiu Wu frowned and thought, and then said, "The southeast direction is the direction of the Leng Palace. There is indeed a statue of someone who doesn't know what it is in the Leng Palace. As for the secret room... I don't know about that."

"In that case, let's go and have a look," Zhao Mu said

"Ye Hao" is as far away as the sky

The three of them turned into phantoms and disappeared in place, and soon came to the cold palace

There was no one guarding the cold palace during the day, Chao Mu stretched out his hand to feel it, and sure enough, there was an extremely concealed barrier covering the cold palace.

The faint black air floating in the enchantment is somewhat similar to the miasma in the dense forest outside the city before

Chao Mu waved "Broken" and broke the barrier, and led the two of them into the cold palace. Once inside, the barrier behind was automatically healed

As soon as I entered, I heard wailing everywhere in the cold palace. The ground and the steps were full of women who were almost naked

Chao Mu frowned and looked at him, he couldn't help slowing down, just in time he was bumped into Ru Tianyuan who was walking forward, Ru Tianyuan could have stopped, but at this moment he didn't want to stop

Holding Zhaomu's shoulders, he knew that Zhaomu was always kind-hearted, and at this time he should find out the source of the crime, instead of dealing with these women

Zhao Mu's expression was a bit unwell, he turned his head and smiled apologetically at Ru Tianyuan, the three of them used invisibility when they came, so these women on the ground couldn't see them

Seeing their intimate behavior, Qiu Wu couldn't help clenching her fists

Continue to probe inside, pass through the main hall, and come to the side hall. Sure enough, in the center of the side hall, there is a huge stone elephant, which is three meters high.

Body like a tiger, face like a man, with long fangs

"This...is this 梼杌?" Chao Mu looked at the stone elephant in surprise and said

梼杌 is the least enlightened of the three beasts

It was sealed by the immortals thousands of years ago, and now the seal is loose, which will affect the court

"Someone is coming," Ru Tianyuan said

The door was pushed open and a man in purple eunuch clothes came in. At first glance, it was Song Gonggong

Eunuch Song dragged an exhausted woman towards the stone elephant. He tapped the foot of the stone elephant, and a secret door appeared under the stone elephant. Inside the secret door was a dark staircase with bottomless depths.

The three of them glanced at each other and followed in. Eunuch Song didn't notice them due to the invisibility spell.

After walking for a stick of incense, the eyes suddenly brightened

I saw a huge altar under the stairs, and what was enshrined in the altar was none other than the stone statue itself, Wuwu.

The 梼杌 was tied tightly to the altar by four chains and could not move.

Eunuch Song knelt down when he saw Wuwu

"see my lord"

After finishing speaking, he threw the woman in his hand to the mouth of Wuwu on the altar

Seeing the monster, the woman screamed with the last of her strength

Wuwu opened his mouth wide and sucked it in. The woman's soul was sucked into its mouth, and then the internal organs, without any wounds, left her body and fell into the place on the edge of the altar. concave nest

There was already a thick blood in the secret room, but now it is even more foul-smelling

After finishing everything, Zhu Wu said, "There is a purple air pressure from the imperial palace above. If I want to go out, I still need the emperor's body. When will you send him here!" Let Eunuch Song kneel down on the ground trembling and spit out a mouthful of blood

"Back... back to my lord, Xuanyuan Lake's body has accepted your devilish energy. During the day, the purple energy cannot control him. Only at night can he control him to do some simple things. If you want to get it completely...you have to wait for him Leaving the palace, I will start from outside the palace and deliver it to you." Eunuch Song knelt on the ground and said

"How long will I have to wait! I'm already tired of eating the souls of these women!"

"Three days! In three more days, the emperor will go out to hunt, and then the attack will be perfect!" Song Gonggong said

Ru Tianyuan stretched out his hand to grab Zhao Mu who was about to step forward, shook his head at him and pulled him away from the secret room

Qiu Wu naturally followed behind and the three left the secret room and returned to their courtyard

Knowing what Ru Tianyuan was thinking, Zhao Mu told Qiu Wu, "Chou Wu, go back first and keep an eye on this Eunuch Song."

"Yes" Qiu Wu nodded in response, cast a warning glance at Ru Tianyuan and left

"Brother Tianyuan, I thought of a good idea." Chao Mu approached Ru Tianyuan and whispered something, his bright red lips almost pressed against Ru Tianyuan's ear

But what Zhao Mu said made Ru Tianyuan's red ears turn white in an instant

"No!" After listening, Ru Tianyuan frowned and refused

"Otherwise, what should I do? You are not good at the art of transformation. I can only do it, and now there is only this method." Without the fairy spirit all over his body, this face doesn't look particularly coordinated. Although the father-in-law can't see anything, but what a big ancient monster Wu Wu is, he can't even sneak attack

Ru Tianyuan thought for a while and sighed, "I will appear in time."

"Then it's settled," Chao Mumin said with a smile on his lips, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief seeing Ru Tianyuan's agreement, even he himself didn't know why he had to seek Ru Tianyuan's consent, he always does things when he has something to do Never ask other people's opinion as long as it feels right to him
