In the main hall of the imperial palace in the capital, a man in a dragon robe looked at a scroll in his hand. He wore a crown on his head. There were nine strings in the front of the crown and five in the back. However, the nine beads in the front were golden and the five in the back were gold. But it is dark gold and looks very noble.
The dragon robe is blue, as blue as the sky on a clear day. Nine golden dragons are on the elbows, wrists, back, and shoulders on both sides, and on the chest is a five-clawed golden dragon entrenched with teeth and claws.
This person is the emperor of South Vietnam. His face is solemn, his eyebrows are furrowed, and his eyes are filled with murderous intent.
"Who wrote this article?" asked the emperor.
A big eunuch next to him, holding a whisk in his hand, said humbly and respectfully: "Your Majesty, this person is Li Huguo, the eighth commander who has made extraordinary achievements not long ago."
"Good article." The emperor was not stingy with his praise. "He is decisive in his words, has the world in mind, and has the talent of a general. Most candidates write some strategies for governing the country, but he is different. At first glance, we can see that there is ongoing fighting in the north and that border defenses need to be strengthened.”
"It is this person. Not long ago, he got rid of the thousand-year-old vampire demon who was causing trouble. I heard that he also encountered the Mai Sect's rebels and killed them by surprise!" The big eunuch said with a smile.
The emperor was surprised for a moment, but he quickly said: "As the commander-in-chief of Tongming Temple, he already has a rank, but why does he still need to take the palace examination?"
"I heard that he did it to satisfy the expectations of his parents, who are businessmen." The chief eunuch said.
The emperor smiled: "Scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, this businessman's status is indeed at the bottom of the world. This man is both civil and military, and I am quite interested. In a few days, you can invite him to see me."
"As commanded."
The eunuch withdrew, and the emperor continued to read the next test paper, but the content of the next test paper made him frown slightly.
Because he didn't like the content of the article very much. What this candidate wrote was about the way of emperors, and it happened that there were also allusions about royal brothers fighting each other.
…
In the Li Family Courtyard in the capital, Mu Xisha looked at the sign in her hand thoughtfully.
"What he loves is not me, but Bai Guai... And if I stay by his side, it will only add more troubles... It would be better for me to leave and rescue Bai Guai from the Skeleton Cult first. Besides..."
Mu Xisha murmured, she was talking to herself, but in fact, she had been hesitating about this matter for a long time.
There are seven identity signs in her hand. The origin of these seven signs is actually very simple. They are the signs of the seven witches of the Mayi God Sect. Not all seven witches were destroyed, but during the fight, the signs were all It was obtained by Li Yuguo, or Li Yuguo's men.
Now Li Huguo had it as a trophy, but Mu Xisha stole it.
Maybe others may think that Mu Xisha did this as a way of repaying kindness with hatred, but in fact, all this was Mu Xisha's decision after careful consideration, because she wanted to protect Li Yuguo and Bai Guai.
Li Yuguo didn't know how capable the chubby fourth junior sister was, but Mu Xisha knew that that woman was unimaginably vicious.
In order to achieve her goals, she would do whatever it takes, even the most despicable actions.
Just for the purpose.
And her efficiency in doing things was quite impressive, so the leader and master just turned a blind eye.
So that night, Mu Xisha left Li Huguo's home overnight. Just as Li Huguo and Li Zhong were doing business outside, she came to the place where the Skeleton Cult was alone.
The mountain gate of the Skeleton God Cult looks like two huge towers made of white bones standing between the sky and the earth, which is particularly eye-catching.
The wooden door in the middle is also carved with many weird and terrifying scenes, and it is covered with white paint, making it look very tight.
"Who is coming?" There were arrow towers on both sides of the doorpost, and the disciples guarding the mountain on the arrow towers shouted at Mu Xisha.
Mu Xisha was tired and running all the way, and her body was still weak. After all, the spell had just healed, so she was very tired now, but she still insisted on standing up and said: "Come on, open the door... I... I am Mu Xisha! Pink skull!"
"It's the Pink Skull Sister, why..."
"It's indeed the Pink Skull."
The two disciples were talking about each other, and at this time one of them said: "No, you have betrayed the master before, and you are no longer a disciple of my Skeleton God Sect!"
"Are you really not going to laugh at this joke? Do you know that on the surface, I betrayed the sect, but in fact, I went to carry out the most important task of the sect!" Mu Xisha shouted.
As soon as these words came out, the two disciples hesitated again.
After all, according to the rules of the Skeleton Cult, some top-secret tasks cannot be known to others, and according to the status of the Cult, the saint is second only to the leader.
And Mu Xisha is a great saint, the eldest among the saints, and after she left, the number one saint was not re-elected, so she is still the number one saint in name. In this way, they are guilty of the following. .
So after weighing their strengths, the two disciples chose to let him go.
The huge skeletal door opened to both sides, and an upward staircase appeared in Mu Xisha's field of vision. Although she had been here several times, she would be shocked every time. But this time, there was something different. An old woman wearing a black robe was waiting there.
She held a scepter in her hand. This scepter was a bit special. It actually had nine skeletons on it. These nine skeletons were all very clean. They had been treated and had done a good job of embalming.
Moreover, there are two gems in each of the eyes of the nine skeletons. The gems come in various colors, and they sparkle with a strange color from a distance.
Coupled with the figure of the old woman, this scene looks very dark.
Mu Xisha swallowed and knelt on the ground: "Master..."
"Come here," said the old woman.
Mu Xisha did not dare to disobey and immediately followed, and she followed the old woman all the way to a dark black castle. The surface of the castle was actually decorated with skulls and bones, and it looked quite majestic.
When she came to a study room where many items were stored, Mu Xisha said: "Master..."
"How are you going to lie?" The old woman lit a lamp and took off her cloak. She looked like a woman in her forties. Her hair was a little gray, but she was very energetic, as if she was someone else when she put on the cloak. It seems like a person.
And her wise turquoise eyes seemed to be able to see through all the lies in the world.
