Li Chaoge changed his clothes and went out. Now everyone was celebrating outside, and the banquet hall was full of drums and music. In comparison, the backyard of the government office was deserted and pathetic. Didn't Li Chaoge meet many people along the way?, When passing the front hall, Li Chaoge noticed? There seemed to be someone in the tree?, Sneaky and didn't know what he was doing.
Li Chaoge narrowed her eyes, she picked up a stone, and flicked it into the opponent's hand? "What are you doing?"
Zhou Changgeng shook his hand and almost dropped the wine jar to the ground. Zhou Changgeng quickly stabilized the fishing line, hissed Li Chaoge, and continued to carefully reel in the line. The people in the yard? Drunk, no one? Noticed that there was a wine jar dangling in the corner, pulled up slowly by a thin wire, and finally disappeared into the bushes.
Zhou Changgeng picked up the wine, took a sip with satisfaction, and said, "Good wine, at least twenty years. You rebel, don't you see that I'm busy?"
Standing under the tree with folded arms, Li Chaoge snorted softly, "You're only good enough to steal wine?"
"Drinking? Can it be called stealing?" Zhou Changgeng disdainfully said, "Those dog officials said that the visitor is a guest, so let's drink it tonight. There is so much wine here, why should I take a jug?"
"Do you want to drink and no one? Stop you, go in and get a drink generously."
Zhou Changgeng still snorted coldly: "Heroes of the Jianghu, don't you eat at the same table with people from the court?"
Li Chaoge secretly rolled his eyes, wanting to drink someone's wine, but also not wanting to lose face. Li Chaoge didn't bother to talk to the drunkard, and said, "You're almost done, don't drink too much. Drinking too much will damage your brain, and you don't have much."
After Li Chaoge finished speaking, he planned to go out. Zhou Changgeng pulled out the cork, raised his head and took a sip, and slowly smacked his lips: "Hey, why does this wine taste strange? Yangzhou officials are considered personal things anyway, so they won't be given to others. ? Drink fake bars?"
Does the speaker have no intention of listening? Does the speaker intend? Li Chaoge stopped in his tracks, feeling something was wrong. Yangzhou officials are afraid of being punished, so in the past few days they will use all their wealth to please the people in the court? Yangzhou has always been rich and prosperous, so it is impossible to bring out a few cellars of good wine? The question is, how could Yangzhou officials fail to taste it at the banquet
Li Chaoge lowered his face, and said to Zhou Changgeng, "Old man Zhou, throw down the wine."
"What are you doing?" Zhou Changgeng muttered dissatisfiedly, "If you want to drink, go in and get it yourself."
Even so, Zhou Changgeng still threw the wine jar to Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge caught it, smelled the smell inside carefully, and suddenly frowned: "No, there is something added to the wine."
Li Chaoge rushed to the banquet hall. At the moment, the hall was full of singing and dancing. Drunk life? Dream dead. After Li Chaoge entered, many drunks were awakened immediately.
Those soldiers couldn't straighten their tongues, and said staggeringly: "Princess Sheng Yuan, why are you here?"
Seeing them like that, Li Chaoge felt even colder in his heart. She strode upwards, during which time someone was blocking the way drunk, and she pushed it away. Li Chaoge stepped on the wine table, picked up the governor of Yangzhou by the collar, and directly lifted him up: "What did you add to the wine?"
Governor Shi of Yangzhou looked at Li Chaoge with drunken eyes: "Huh?"
Li Chaoge frowned. She originally thought it was a conspiracy by the officials from Yangzhou, but judging by his appearance, he seemed to be drunk too. Li Chaoge scanned the desk and found a glass of wine, half-drunk in the corner of the table.
Li Chaoge threw Yangzhou Governor Shi on the ground forcefully, she picked up the glass of wine and sniffed it, her eyes dimmed.
No, this medicine was ordered by a third party. Besides the imperial army and Li Huai's traitor, who else is there in Yangzhou
Li Chaoge was thinking quickly when suddenly a chill came from behind him. Li Chaoge didn't look back, relying on instinct? Get out of the way. She turned around, and saw that the lantern at the entrance of the hall had been extinguished at some point, and a few strange-looking things were guarding the door, with faintly red eyes.
Li Chaoge looked up and found that there were many spider-like things crawling up the windows and beams. It’s not all about spiders. Their legs are like spiders, but they are longer and thinner than spiders. Standing on the ground, they are as tall as a person; above the legs is a fat body, with a bulging tail, a bit like a bee. Tail sac; abdomen? There is a pair of sickles in front, which looks like a praying mantis.
It seems to be glued together by various bugs, and the weirdest thing is that there is a human face in front of it. Are those things moving? Not moving? Staring at Li Chaoge, he suddenly grinned and smiled at Li Chaoge.
Li Chaoge stretched out his hand and drew his sword to block the human-faced spider rushing down from the beam, and kicked away the sneak attacking spider behind him. The spider behind was kicked by Li Chaoge and flew far away. Its slender legs struggled to stand still, and it circled around, carefully looking for an opportunity to attack.
Li Chaoge used his sword to block the scythe of the human-faced spider in front. These monsters really combined the strengths of various insects, and the scythe was very hard. The human? Faced spider used all its legs to pierce the ground directly, supporting the sickle with all its strength and pressing down. Li Chaoge pressed his sword against it, and suddenly turned to the side. The human-faced spider's sickle lost power, and it couldn't control it and rushed forward. The sickle was cut off immediately.
The spider next to him found a gap, raised its fat tail, and a barb suddenly protruded from the end, stabbing directly at Li Chaoge's back. Without looking back, Li Chaoge used his backhand to grab its tail thorn with his sword, and with the other hand, a throwing knife flew out, and after a circle, it neatly cut off the eight legs of the first man-faced spider.
Li Chaoge dealt with the one in front of him, and then turned around to clean up the attacking monster. She changed the way of holding the sword, hooked and pulled violently, and pulled out the poisonous thorn by the root. The poisonous stinger, still stained with blood, fell far to the ground. Li Chaoge shook the blade, and cut off the head of the man-faced spider.
The head with a human face rolled to the ground, just right at the feet of the drunken governor of Yangzhou. Li Chaoge stared at the pile of stumps, and sneered, "You guys still want to sneak attack?"
The head on the ground obviously lost its life, but at this moment it turned its head bit by bit and grinned strangely at Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge sensed something was wrong, she found a red light flowing on the ground, and the red silk thread flowed like life, connecting the body that had been dismembered by her just now, and soon, the head of the man-faced spider returned to the body, The eight legs also returned to normal.
Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows lightly, what is this thing that can't be killed
The hall was full of soldiers who were stumbling around. They drank alcohol, even if they wanted to, they were powerless. They could only helplessly watch the monsters wreaking havoc in the hall. Li Chaoge clenched the Qianyuan sword tightly, looking at the people who gathered around her again, the face spider, with a solemn mood.
Li Chaoge was surrounded by a dozen or so human-faced spiders. She jumped up suddenly, killed the spiders on the beam with a sword, and ran towards the door quickly stepping on the pillars. The human-faced spiders below were chasing after them, and the space on the beams was limited, so the superiority of the number of these spiders could not be shown. Li Chaoge took advantage of the terrain to run around and sneak up on the pillars. Basically, he could kill one with a single sword.
There were also sounds of fighting outside the hall. The human-faced spider chased after Li Chaoge and smiled strangely. Li Chaoge was disgusted by that smile, and fiercely pointed at the opponent's eyebrows, piercing its head with a sword. The red light in the spider's eyes dissipated, its body swayed, fell off the beam, and made a loud click when it landed on the ground. Li Chaoge thought it would be revived soon? However, this time it fell to the ground, and its broken limbs were never glued together again.
Li Chaoge looked at the ground, and then at the weird and sinister person on the beam? Faced spider, and suddenly showed his comprehension.
It turns out that they are not indestructible, but can be revived by relying on those weird red threads. Li Chaoge doesn't know what the red thread is, but it can be speculated that the red thread is hidden in the head. As long as their heads are crushed, this bunch of monsters can no longer be reborn
Zhou Changgeng complained outside the window: "What the hell is this? It's so fucking disgusting." The spider on the beam stepped on the silk thread and rushed towards her. Hold the head of a man? face spider, press it on the ground, and crush it left and right. Li Chaoge kicked away the corpses and said loudly, "Attack their heads."
Needless to say, this sentence alone is enough. Li Chaoge moved his wrist, saw the juice on the ground, and patiently moved his eyes away: "It's really disgusting."
Li Chaoge was afraid that these people? Face spiders would stay in the hall and hurt people?, so he led the way while killing them, and slowly led them outside. As a result, as soon as he came out of the palace, Li Chaoge was immediately disgusted by the scene outside. On the eaves, roof, ground, and treetops, there were red-eyed people? Face spiders dormant everywhere. Their slender legs slowly stepped on the tiles, motionless? Still? Staring at the people on the ground?, always looking for flaws. If this scene is seen by ordinary people, it will be a nightmare for half a year.
Sensing Li Chaoge coming out, many pairs of eyes immediately looked at Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge clenched his sword tightly and started to fight without saying a word.
She quickly swept across the corridor, using the corner to get away from the spider, then turned around and pierced the monster's brain. But after all, there were too many face-faced spiders outside. Li Chaoge's sword was stuck in the spider's brain. Li Chaoge finally pulled out his sword and waved his hand to cut it off. However, the composition of this red silk thread was unknown, and it was extremely sticky. Although the silk thread on the sleeve was cut off, it stuck to the sword again.
After only a moment's delay, the people behind, the face spiders, all gathered around. A spider rushed towards Li Chaoge holding a sickle. Li Chaoge's sword was stuck by the spider thread, so he could only catch it with the dagger in his sleeve. As a result, both of Li Chaoge's hands were trapped, another spider saw the gap, raised the poisonous needle high, and sprayed venom at Li Chaoge.
Only then did Li Chaoge know that their poisonous needles could not only pierce, but also squirt like snakes. Seeing that Li Chaoge couldn't dodge in time, she was about to block it with her arms, when a barrier suddenly rose in front of her, the venom hit the light shield, and was frozen into ice beads with a jingle and fell to the ground. The three human-faced spiders beside Li Chaoge were suddenly covered in ice, their necks were frozen off, and their heads rolled to the ground, broken into several petals.
The spider silk on Li Chaoge's sword also melted. She withdrew her sword and saw Gu Mingke walking towards her.
He was dressed in white snow, his appearance was perfect, his whole body was as clean as ever, and he was not affected by these disgusting spiders at all. Even killing spiders uses the elegant method of freezing to death, and the whole process is controlled remotely, unlike Li Chaoge, whose clothes are inevitably stained with mud and blood because of close combat. Li Chaoge collected his breath and asked, "Have you solved the rest?"
"Well." Gu Mingke said, "There are not many behind, most of them are here with you."
Zhou Changgeng also jumped off the roof. He landed beside Li Chaoge, and hit Li Chaoge's arm with his sword habitually: "You can even use a sword? You were trapped by someone. How did you teach you?"
Zhou Changgeng also killed a lot of people? Face Spider, with blood and juice dripping from his sword, before his sword touched Li Chaoge, he was suddenly blocked by an ice blue sword. Zhou Changgeng was taken aback when he saw it. He had heard it said when he was in the Heavenly Court that although Xikui Tianzun was in charge of killing, and Beichen Tianzun dealt with official documents all the time, in fact Qin Ke was the most fierce fighter in the Heavenly Court. In fact, I can also understand that any order needs force to protect it. If Qin Ke's force was not strong enough, how could those criminal fairies and immortal kings be able to accept punishment obediently.
Qin Ke is especially good at swords, but no one in the heavenly court has ever seen Qin Ke use a sword. It is said that before the ascension, Qin Ke had some taboos with the sword, so it was easy for him not to use the sword. When Zhou Changgeng was in Tianting, he always wanted to make two tricks with Qin Ke, but unfortunately it never came true
Unexpectedly, today he saw Qin Ke's saber. Zhou Changgeng was stunned, and heard Gu Mingke say, "It's the second time."
What second time? Zhou Changgeng didn't understand, so he turned around and saw Gu Mingke looking at him coldly: "There are only three things, you'd better get rid of your problems."
Zhou Changgeng let out a hey, and couldn't help but squeeze the knuckles on his hands: "She didn't say anything, what's none of your business?"
"Okay." Li Chaoge couldn't help but yell at the two of them, "The spider is here again, let's do business first!"
Gu Mingke withdrew his sword, turned around and left without looking at Zhou Changgeng. Zhou Changgeng held his breath and didn't know what to say: "I can't beat the apprentice I taught?"
The three of them? Although they didn't communicate with each other, they agreed to follow the same direction. While beheading people, Li Chaoge thought, tonight the army is celebrating its victory, and many people are so drunk that they are unconscious. A sneak attack at this time is indeed a good opportunity. However, Li Xu is dead, why is he making a move now
While Li Chaoge was thinking, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a spider walking around the drunken man. It is not the same as other vigorous and beautiful human-faced spiders. It is gray and white, and its body is bloated, and its movements are sluggish, and its huge belly is dragged to the ground. It crawled slowly on the ground, sucking air into the person's mouth with its mouthparts, and no changes could be seen with its eyes, but Li Chaoge felt an invisible energy being sucked into the gray spider's stomach. Satisfied, the gray spider crawled to the next person, while the body of the inhaled person was still the same as before, but his complexion quickly turned gray.
It seems that the most important source of life has been sucked away by humans.
Li Chaoge immediately realized that it was the innate spirit of a human being. This breath comes from the mother's womb, and it is the greatest gift from heaven to human beings. With this breath, demons and ghosts dare not get close, and human beings can become the leader of all spirits. Innate qi affects all aspects. Some people have strong innate qi and are born with intelligence, health and good luck; Illness, can't be cured.
As the baby grows up, the innate qi becomes weaker and weaker, and the child's eyes and spirit orifices gradually close, and he can no longer communicate with the world and trees. This is one of the reasons why Taoism and martial arts must be practiced from childhood. People become blunt when they grow up, and they no longer have the dexterity they had when they were young. If you learn something at this time, no matter what you gain, there will be limited benefits.
If the innate qi is exhausted, the lifespan will be exhausted, and the person will weaken rapidly. Innate qi is precious and rare. People who practice Taoism regard it as a priceless treasure, but it is a pity that there is no other source except the mother's womb. Unexpectedly, this spider is so vicious, plundering other people's innate energy.
Li Chaoge scanned around, and as far as he could see, all the spiders were colorful and ferocious, but this one was dark and ugly, looking inconspicuous. Li Chaoge realized that it was a female insect, she put away her sword, and immediately ran towards the gray spider.
The spiders discovered that Li Chaoge wanted to harm their mother insects, so they spit venom one after another to stop them. Li Chaoge was stopped by layer after layer of human-faced spiders, and when the male insects were finally dealt with, the female insects had already run away.
Li Chaoge chased after him without saying a word.
There were bugs constantly blocking her along the way, Li Chaoge chased and killed, and unknowingly landed in a secluded courtyard. Li Chaoge climbed over the railing, the blade of the sword passed by like moonlight, a line of blood spread and splashed on the snow-white window paper. Gulu, the head with a human face, rolled down the steps and got stuck beside the flower bed. Li Chaoge turned around and dealt with the other two spiders. The head in front of the flower bed slowly turned? Under the traction of the red thread, it rolled silently towards the body. When it was about to touch the fracture, a sword passed through its temple from top to bottom, piercing deeply into the ground.
Li Chaoge drew his sword and shook it lightly, and the blood on it disappeared invisible. Li Chaoge turned around and looked around, exquisite pavilions, gardens and rockery, and imperial seals on the windows... Li Chaoge guessed where it was.
Now that she's here, she's not polite, and just opens the door to look. The furnishings in the house are gorgeous, beautiful and bright, as if they were still inhabited not long ago. But apart from all kinds of luxuries, there is nothing useful.
Li Chaoge flipped through the bookshelves and walked out of the room. She followed the mother worm closely all the way, but the mother worm disappeared after crawling here. The yard is only so big, where else can it hide
Li Chaoge walked around the flower bed. She vaguely felt that the stone bricks under her feet were not right, so she picked up the sword and knocked them one by one. Sure enough, some places were hollow.
Li Chaoge put his true energy on the sword, and slammed the stone bricks, and the bricks cracked fine lines immediately. Li Chaoge stepped back. As soon as she stood still, the place just now collapsed, and the ground collapsed all the way, stopping just in front of Li Chaoge's feet.
A dark cave appeared ahead, big enough for two people to pass through. Li Chaoge looked at it for a while, then jumped down holding the sword.
The other party did everything possible to lure her here, since she came, there was no reason why she couldn't get in through the door.
In the government office, people? Face spiders kept coming towards them like they couldn't finish killing them. Holding the sword, Zhou Changgeng cut a spider in half, wiped the blood off his face casually, and said, "Leave this to me, and you go after her."
Gu Mingke shattered a spider with his palm, he didn't speak, and immediately rushed in another direction.
·
Li Chaoge fell from the entrance of the cave, and she bounced off immediately without stopping after landing. Sure enough, a burst of arrows shot out from all around, piercing the place where she was standing just now into a sieve. Li Chaoge jumped down from the wall, blew on the fire, and slowly groped forward.
In front of it was a winding and dark corridor, the ground was damp, and thin drops of water condensed on the walls. Every once in a while, a night pearl will appear on the wall, softly emitting a cold light.
The first time Li Chaoge didn't care. After walking for a long time, she couldn't help but sigh. Every ten feet there was a night pearl the size of a longan. Judging by the length of this corridor, the entire underground palace would not be small. How much money did it cost
Appeared in the middle? There were several side roads. Li Chaoge accidentally chose the wrong door, and was able to get out only after breaking through nailed walls, arrows, and poisonous gas. Fortunately, entering the bedroom area ahead, the mechanism finally stopped. This place is not as humid as the corridor. Instead, the dome is raised high, the ring corridor arch bridge is connected to each other, and the stone bricks under the feet are polished as smooth as jade. Looking around, there is a dark and luxurious feeling? Li Chaoge took the fire folder and walked through one palace after another. It was full of gold, silver, jewels, silk and satin, so dazzling that even Li Chaoge was speechless, but she didn't stop and moved forward without hesitation.
Gradually, the palace in front was no longer as extravagant as before, but clean and simple, with elegant decoration. Li Chaoge discovered that there was a palace room full of letters. She paused, but went in anyway.
She took out the topmost scroll of letters, which seemed to be some kind of ancient script, which Li Chaoge didn't quite understand, so she could only stutter and read. After reading two volumes, she probably guessed that it told a story about a sage, but there were too many names of people and places in it, and Li Chaoge couldn't understand what it meant.
Li Chaoge gave up reading and turned to look at portraits. She can't understand the words, but the images can always be recognized? She flipped through two volumes, and found that there was a curtain hanging on the east side of the palace room, and there was something vaguely behind it.
Li Chaoge became curious, what is that and why is it hidden behind? Li Chaoge immediately put down the scroll in his hand and walked towards the curtain.
She lifted the curtain and saw before her a wall with seven portraits hanging on it. Although these paintings are hidden behind the curtains, but judging from the paper, mounting, and brushwork, it is obvious that these are the most expensive.
Li Chaoge followed the order and looked back one by one. There is often a habit in the court to paint portraits of emperors, empresses and concubines. The person being painted is dressed in the most solemn clothes, motionless? Still? These paintings are also similar. In the first few pictures, both men and women are sitting upright, with solemn faces, and there is a long series of parallel prose attached to it. Li Chaoge can't understand it, but he vaguely recognizes people
Li Chaoge didn't know their posthumous titles, so he could only guess intuitively that they were great-grandfather, grandfather, and grandmother. The next two pictures are a middle-aged man and a beautiful woman? When Li Chaoge saw the woman, he sighed, "It's her."
When Li Chaoge was in the palace, he accidentally fell into a dream and saw a queen who gave birth to twins, but because she was afraid that the priest's prophecy would fail, the children born after drowning. Li Chaoge also lamented at that time that this queen looks dignified and beautiful, but her heart is completely different and ruthless.
In the dream, the queen has just given birth, her hair is wet and messy, and her face is pale, but it can still be seen that she is exactly the same as the person in the portrait.
It turned out that this was their parents. Li Chaoge also paid special attention to his father. The king was imposing, with a high nose and deep eyes, and a strong and heroic face. He had a very masculine appearance. Both parents are beauties? No wonder the children are so outstanding.
Li Chaoge walked to the next painting. She stood in front of the portrait and carefully read the words on it: "Qin Wei?"
It turned out that the eldest son was called Qin Wei. Li Chaoge looked up at the portrait again. This should be the portrait of the eldest son when he became an adult. It has to be said that this pair of brothers only took advantage of their parents' strengths. Their bones inherited their father's heroic spirit, and their skin appearance inherited their mother's delicacy and beauty. Together, they are better than blue.
Li Chaoge took a second look and left. What she really cared about was another painting. Li Chaoge stood in front of the last portrait as she wished. As she expected, his appearance as an adult is superior to that of a child, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, narrow and long nose, and shallow lips. He has a delicate jaw, a slender neck, and a tall and slender figure, with the vigorous and heroic posture of a young man.
Although they look the same, it is obvious that the two brothers have very different temperaments. And it seems that he is much younger than his brother.
Wait, young
Li Chaoge hurriedly looked at the words under the portrait, and his name, Qin Ke, was written on the top. After the beautiful seal characters, there are very few introductions that belong to him. Li Chaoge struggled to identify: "Qin Ke, the second son of King Xiang, is only the younger brother. After the Battle of Changling, the nations united to attack Kui. At the time of peril, Qin Ke sacrificed his life for righteousness, offered sacrifices to the Qianyuan sword, and sacrificed seven or seven times." Died at the age of eighteen."
Li Chaoge's eyes widened suddenly.
