Yu Dao Qiankun

Chapter 452 The mystery of strange news
In the evening, Zhuan Yang finished his shift and returned to the imperial palace to rest while the gate of Qianyuan Palace was still open.

Walking halfway, he accidentally heard a few eunuchs whispering in the corner.

"Can't find it? How could it not be found? A big living person just disappeared?"

"Maybe he ran away? After all, he lost something for the New Year, but he will lose his head."

"Where are you going? Do you really think anyone can escape from a place like Tiangong?"

Really, that guy secretly used my carriage to go out back then.

Zhuan Yang muttered something, but didn't intend to pay attention.

As a guard, it is not easy for him to intervene in the internal affairs of Tiangong.Getting involved would cause trouble for myself and Peng Yu.

But the next words caught his attention.

"I said, could he be involved in the harem, and then..."

"Come on, a little holding eunuch, who is not the one around the girls, who will torment him?"

"By the way, I remember that after he lost something, he muttered and wanted to go to Lengyueyuan to find it again. Could it be that palace?"

"Don't talk nonsense, he was wrong. That place is an open space. How can there be any palace?"

"Someone is missing, can you tell me in detail?"

Seeing the person coming, the four little eunuchs were startled.

Zhuan Yang came over and asked again.

The four looked at each other, and finally one of them hesitated and said: "The day before yesterday, our roommate Sibao saw a dilapidated palace at Lengyueyuan. When he was dazed, the jade box in his hand was taken away by a wild cat."

Another person said: "There is an open space around Lengyue Garden in the harem, the Four Treasures must have misread it."

"It's not a mistake, it is definitely the palace in the legend," another eunuch excitedly said, "When we first entered the palace, the manager told us that we must go with the company when we walk from the Lengyueyuan. Sibao goes there alone, It must have been eaten by that palace!"

A man-eating palace that can only be entered and cannot be entered.

Zhuan Yang knew about that rumor, and it was recorded in Mrs. Yunyang's notes.

Next to Lengyueyuan in the west of Tiangong, there is a strange place.When palace people walk alone, they will come across a "mirage" and see a strange palace.And if you enter it, you will never come out again.

This is one of the strange stories about the Heavenly Palace, but as long as many people walk together, the palace cannot be seen.As for the rules of Tiangong, there are very few examples of acting alone.Therefore, Tiangong didn't delve into it.In the past, Mrs. Yunyang made a rough check and didn't care too much.

"This matter, you should report it to your steward as soon as possible."

Zhuan Yang waved his hand, turned and left.

The four young eunuchs Nuonuo said yes, and watched Zhuan Yang leave.

……

Back in the palace, Peng Yu was not here.

"Today, is he staying in Zhaoyuan Palace again?"

Walking out the door, just about to eat, saw Luo Kai coming back from the outside.

The two met each other face to face, snorted coldly at each other, and avoided each other.

"correct--"

Just when Zhuan Yang was about to leave, Luo Kai suddenly called to stop him.

"I heard that you have been searching for strange stories in Tiangong recently?"

Zhuan Yang stopped, turned around and stared at Luo Kai.

"A few days ago, I went to Yuanjun Hall to take a look. The statue of the witch mother has begun to come back to life."

"Yuanjun Hall is in the harem, how did the Holy Son get in?"

Luo Kai ignored him and continued his topic: "You better be careful when you are investigating strange stories with your junior brother. If the witch mother moves, you may not be able to beat her."

After finishing speaking, go back directly.

He picked up a bottle of elixir from the shelf and silently applied it to the palm of his hand.In Luo Kai's palm, there is a deep-rooted Taixuan devilish energy.

On a moonless night, the idol in Yuanjun Palace turned into a witch mother.As the Great Nether Calamity approaches, the Demon Mother appears for longer and longer.The magic baby in her body is about to mature.

Just ten days ago, Luo Kai noticed that the demonic energy was about to move.According to the decree of the old queen, I went to Yuanjun Palace to investigate.I fought with the witch statue, and the damage was not light.

"Right now, my father and all the immortals are busy breaking the curse for the God Emperor. The witch mother in Yuanjun's palace..."

Luo Kai thought about it, and planned to edit a book, asking Yun Xian'er to help.

As for Peng Yu and Zhuan Yang, it wasn't that he underestimated these two people, it was because their professions were wrong.

……

Zhuan Yang came back from dinner and lay on the bed thinking about Luo Kai's words.

In the past few months, he has researched a lot about the Seven Strange Tales of Tiangong.

The ancient well that predicts the future, the sacred tree that prays for a child, the cat ghost that moves at night, the witch mother on a moonless night, the palace house that can only be entered...

As for the last two, one is the palace reflected in the mirror, and the other is the "mask man" he has been looking for.

"Both the ancient well and the sacred tree are related to the Linghuang, and the witch mother was also sealed by the Linghuang. The cat ghost is a sacrifice of witchcraft, so it should also be related to the Linghuang. He must have used the civet blood sacrifice in the palace before his death. "

Referring to Mrs. Yunyang's notes, plus the results of his inquiry with his elder brother, Zhuan Yang had a guess in his heart: the seven strange stories of Tiangong should be spread out on purpose by Linghuang.Its purpose is to inherit the Mirror Palace.

Those who are interested can find the mirror palace through the seven strange stories, and thus get the inheritance of Qiankunzong.

But Zhuan Yang didn't care about that, what he was looking for was only the masked man himself.

"If the strange stories are all related to the Linghuang, is the masked man the spirit left behind by the Linghuang?"

Zhuan Yang closed his eyes and meditated, a strange light flashed in the mirror not far away.

In the hazy mist, a small palace appeared.The entire palace is transparent, like glass.

The next moment, the mirror returned to its original state.

"Forget it, let's come one by one. Tomorrow, discuss with that guy first, and solve the 'palace that you can only enter but not enter'."

This strange news was recorded in the period of Mrs. Yunyang, and His Majesty Jing Huang did not express anything about the strangeness in Tiangong.Obviously it is clear, the meaning behind this.

Zhuan Yang planned to get up in the morning to find Peng Yu, and the two tried to solve the problem, looking for the mirror palace.

But lying in bed for a long time, Zhuan Yang couldn't sleep.

After the hour passed, he simply got up and slipped out of the palace.

Swayingly came to the checkpoint of the harem.

Looking at the closed palace and the patrolling guards, Zhuan Yang silently performed the "Xuanwu Secret Sword Technique".

This is the sword technique taught by Xuan Longzi, which allows him to hide all aura and move quietly.

"If it falls in the realm of other martial saints and immortals, my hidden swordsmanship will not be effective, but this is the Heavenly Palace."

Tiangong, the place where Kunlie's sword intent shrouded.

Any alien power will be rejected by the Sword Emperor Realm, but the same source of power will not.

It just so happens that Zhuan Yang is the one who inherits from the same origin.

"I didn't want to do this, but—"

He couldn't wait any longer.

Sneaking into the harem, dodging various checkpoints, and finally entering the Zhaoyuan Hall, directly shocked Peng Yu and Yuan Qi.

"How did you get in?"

Seeing Zhuan Yang coming in with the cold wind, Peng Yu hurriedly asked Yuan Qi to go to the door and watch.

Yuan Qi knew the seriousness of this matter, closed the door in a panic, and guarded outside.

"The important place in the harem, how can outsiders get close? It's your identity. If people find out, neither my father nor I can keep it!"

But Peng Yu understood, if it wasn't urgent, why would he come here suddenly?
"But something happened to Zhuanyun? Did he fight with your father again?"

"No."

"Is there something wrong with Nine Base?"

"Not at all."

"There can't be something wrong with the father, right?"

"No, I found you myself."

Zhuan Yang glanced at the ledger on the desk, and then at Peng Yu's silver pajamas, and couldn't help but ask, "Did you not sleep when it was all over?"

"You also know that it's so late, and you suddenly came to Zhaoyuan Hall."

"I can't sleep, I want to talk to you about something."

Peng Yu poured him a cup of calming tea.

"Excessive worry? Drink a cup of calming tea, turn around and go to sleep quickly. Forget it, don't go back. If you disturb the harem, it will be even more troublesome. After a while, you will spend the night on the couch in the study."

Zhuan Yang didn't drink, but held the teacup, stared at Peng Yu's expression, and asked solemnly, "How did you find out about those weird stories in Tiangong?"

Although the two often exchanged information, they did not ask each other about specific matters.

"I didn't do much research, I just let things happen. Why, do you have a clue?"

Zhuan Yang took out seven tokens and placed them one by one.

On each token, there are two ancient words: cat ghost, god tree, witch mother, ancient well, maze house, mirror image, and god.

"The cat ghost, the product of the Emperor Ling's blood sacrifice."

"Sacred tree, the method used by the Spirit Emperor to lock up evil spirits."

"Demon mother, the ancient demon god who was sealed by the Linghuang during his lifetime."

"Gujing, the punishment place where the Linghuang suppressed the corpses of the three princesses. Prophecy is the technique used by the three princesses to induce them. According to my investigation results, the female corpses have used prophecies to lure many court ladies and eunuchs into the well over the years, and become the bait of the skeleton cat in the well. .”

On the same day, they pulled out the female corpse by mistake and threw it into the Pangu world, but they didn't care about the follow-up.After Zhuan Yang returned, he communicated with Zhuan Yun, and only then did he know the operation mode of the ancient well.

The skeleton cats wandering around the Tiangong at night are not wandering aimlessly.They are controlled by the witch mother, the female corpse and the evil spirits in the urn.

Zhuan Yun speculated that the purpose of these three enemies of the Linghuang might be to find the entrance to the Mirror Palace and kill the Linghuang to divide his spirit.

Peng Yu looked curiously at the seven tokens.

"you made it yourself?"

"My brother did it."

"Him? Humph, since he knows everything, why didn't he tell me? Do you have to make this trip?"

"I wanted to find you myself. A eunuch disappeared today, and it must have entered that palace by mistake."

Zhuan Yang tapped the fifth token "Misty House" and told about the evening.

Peng Yu's expression moved slightly, he looked through the ledger and found the records of the previous two days.

"I found it. It is true that I lost a box of plum blossom stones. But I took it from the warehouse again yesterday, and the decoration over there has been completed."

After the Double Ninth Festival, Shenchao focused on the ninth base, and did not realize that March had passed.Right now it's Ladong, and the New Year's Eve is approaching.However, King Zhao is naturally in charge of the process of Tianhou Qingxiu, Shenhuang Yangyang, and Tiangong celebrating the New Year's Day.

Peng Yu didn't sleep in the middle of the night, just because he was dealing with Tiangong's account alone, and was clearing up the preparation process for the New Year's Eve.

After thinking for a while, Peng Yu raised his head: "What do you mean? Do you want to find someone?"

Zhuan Yang shook his head, then nodded again.

"I have already understood the situation of the first four monsters. I suspect that the latter one corresponds to the entrance of the Palace of Mirrors. So I plan to go to that palace to have a look. Of course, if I can save someone, I will save it by the way."

A palace that can only be entered.

Peng Yu frowned, the masked man had mentioned it to him.But because of the high risk factor in this palace, he never went to Lengyueyuan.

Glancing behind Zhuan Yang from the corner of the eye, Peng Yu's heart moved, he nodded and said, "You came here in the middle of the night, just to tell me that you want to go to Lengyueyuan? That's fine, go. I'll cover you up."

Taking out the seal of Mi Luo and handing it to him, Peng Yu said: "If you don't come out, activate this seal with all your strength, and I will go in and save you."

"Thanks."

Putting away the seal, Zhuan Yang left immediately.

After he left, Peng Yu continued to look at the last two tokens.

The sixth token reads "Mirror Shadow", the palace reflected in the mirror.

It is said that several court ladies entered the palace in the mirror by chance.I saw handsome men and women, gold, silver and jewelry everywhere.

"The palace inside the mirror is one of the entrances to the mirror palace?"

"No, it's just a projection, it's the desires of all living beings reflected in the mirror palace. When people enter, they can only see their own desires and obsessions, and they can never enter the mirror palace from the mirror. Otherwise..."

The masked man appeared and sat opposite Peng Yu.

"Otherwise what?"

The masked person spoke half of the sentence, stopped talking, and played with the seventh token.

The word "倛神" is written on it.

倛, mask also.The word refers to a deity who wears a mask.

Strange Tale of Tiangong No. [-]: The masked man who appeared before death, masters your soul in a way of extending life, and lets you work for it.

Peng Yu looked at the token in the masked man's hand: "He checked the 'Masked House', and he will touch you next. I have a doubt, can you help me answer it?"

The masked man put down the token: "No."

Peng Yu ignored his refusal, seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to want to find an answer: "You were born only a hundred years ago. But the saying about the Seven Strange Tales of Tiangong was born earlier than you. Before you, There is also a masked man in Tiangong?"

Coincidentally, Peng Yu inherited part of Linghuang's memory, and knew one thing: Linghuang liked to wear masks at certain times.And his favorite animal head mask is exactly the same as the one the masked man is wearing now.

"What is the origin of your separation from the Linghuang?"
