MTL - Mysterious World, I Have Special Understanding-Chapter 289 work in the water
According to the "Galan Tales" mentioned by Lin Xiangzhi, Ji Que quickly identified the commonalities of these bewitched people.
These people have all read this "Galan Tales" without exception.
According to the investigation of Qingqi Division, this "Galan Tales" has only been circulated in the past six months.
In fact, there have been all kinds of idle books circulating in the capital, among which the most are all kinds of pornographic memoirs, such as the melodramatic memoirs of monks conquest of demons, and the romantic stories of concierges. The more outrageous the more widely circulated.
After all, people's lives are hard, and they can only rely on these books to comfort their minds.
But in the past six months, at some point in the capital, there has been a wave of reading strange books. Most of the stories are based on horror and excitement, with a little bit of that kind of content added.
This kind of thing has long been seen as strange, and no one thought about it. Who would have thought about it after checking it out, only to find that this "Galan Tale" is the most widely circulated, and it can be read from rich families like Ningfu who have this book. out.
This book is said to be the knowledge and knowledge collected by a wandering monk from all over the world, and some are even written from the perspective of personal experience, giving people a sense of reality.
It is because of this sense of reality that it is very exciting to read, so it is very popular.
Those who have read this book must have an impression of that kind of weird opera, and if these people go to listen to this similar opera, they may be recruited.
Ji Que couldn't help but analyze: "Could it be a psychological hint?"
The evil creature that Ji Que killed was quickly dismembered by the Qingqi Department's staff for research, and the initial conclusion was that it was a centipede.
A very large centipede with a human face and eyes crowding its head and similar eyes inside its body.
When these eyes gather together, they can easily affect people's minds, even for practitioners like Lin Xiangzhi.
The previous theater had long since been deserted, and it was nowhere to be seen. However, "Galan's Tale" has been widely circulated, and finding the perpetrator is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Some officials from Qingqi Division even analyzed whether this book was written by the killed centipede.
Because through observation, they found that this big centipede had been dismantled into many pieces, but some pieces were still moving, and even had some small thoughts, such as it might secretly bite people, which seemed very smart.
So they thought that the centipede spirit might be the same as the wandering monk who wrote the book.
Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi went fishing to stop this evil thing, but they don't know if they caught the murderer.
As a result, at this time, Ning Hongyu came over with a woman who was almost as hot as her.
Li Wang?
Ji Que is face blind and his memory is not good, but he has a good impression of this king with a different surname.
Because there are very few women who can have the same figure as the top female peak.
"You have done a good job in this case, come on, follow me into the palace, His Majesty wants to see you two."
Hearing this, Lin Xiangzhi hurriedly said: "I want to go too, I was the one who solved the case that day."
Wang Li nodded, appreciatively said: "Your bait is really good, but His Majesty only wants to see them now."
As he said that, he took Ji Que and Ning Hongyu away.
Lin Xiangori stood alone in the wind and was messed up.
What is bait? I was the main force that day, and he was the wing, okay?
Ji Que was a little surprised that Da Shengchao, a man standing at the pinnacle of power, suddenly wanted to see him.
In the Northland, he is indeed the No. 1 figure. Whether it is inside or outside the sub-buildings of Jiangmolou, or in the big and small sects of the Northland, his words and actions have a certain weight.
But in this capital city, he is indeed a real newcomer. If he has to talk about his identity, he is Miss Ning's best friend.
He didn't expect that he was summoned by the emperor just after he came to deal with a centipede singing an opera.
At the same time, he also smelled trouble.
The steps to enter the palace to face the saint are not as cumbersome as imagined, on the contrary they are very simple.
Wang Li brought Ji Que and the two to an elegant side hall, but they didn't see any eunuchs and maids on the way.
In the side hall, a middle-aged man in black casual clothes was sitting there.
The man's face is not very outstanding, it can even be said to be very ordinary, but just sitting there, he gives off a calm and prestige temperament, which makes people dare not look directly at him.
Ji Que was thinking about how to salute, but Emperor Sheng Yu waved his hand and said, "There is no need to be too polite, this time I have a request from you."
Melons, fruits and fine wines were placed on the tables lined up, and after Ji Que and the three of them took their seats, a conversation that seemed to be homely began.
Before talking about the business, His Majesty the Emperor naturally praised the Ning family, expressed its support to the dynasty, and reviewed the matter of the ancestors borrowing money from the Ning family.
This is naturally for the sake of getting close, but the emperor's request for help is naturally not just talking, but he said in person: "If this can be done, it means that I owe the Ning family a favor. If there is anything I can do to help, I will naturally try my best."
As a man standing at the pinnacle of power, the emperor's words will naturally not be empty promises, but it can be seen that the troubles he encountered are probably really troublesome.
There are still any troubles in this world that the emperor can't solve.
Afterwards, the emperor Sheng Yu once again told about the strange thing about Yanglong Tan, and as expected, it had something to do with the big centipede that Ji Que met that night.
The family members who were recruited by the people dreamed that their family members were full of eyes, and what His Majesty the Emperor dreamed was that the old dragon he raised was full of eyes.
At this time, Li Wang introduced: "The Qingqi Division has found the relevant file for the centipede you killed. It may be the legendary 'Chulong'."
"Touching the dragon?" Ji Que asked doubtfully.
"Chulong is not a dragon. As you said, it is a kind of centipede. According to legend, this kind of centipede grows on a tree in the sky. If there is a dragon resting on the tree, it will try to get into the dragon's body and parasitize in it. In the long run, the dragon will gradually corrupt and be controlled by it, which is very similar to what His Majesty described." Li Wang said seriously.
Ji Que and Ning Hongyu couldn't help but glance at each other.
Because after hearing the tree growing in the sky that Wang Li said, both of them couldn't help but think of the ancestral tree.
His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have just heard the news, and couldn't help but said: "You mean, someone is raising a dragon that touches the dragon and harms me, but how did the Chulong come to the mortal world in the sky?"
Ji Que and Ning Hongyu didn't speak, but they guessed that it might have something to do with the meeting of foreign objects, or even the gods in the sky.
"You two have had a lot of contact with this kind of thing, what do you think?" the emperor asked.
"If something goes wrong with that dragon, what will His Majesty do?"
"If you can't save it, you have to kill it." Emperor Sheng Yu said with a complicated expression.
Finally, the four discussed what to do.
The emperor recruited Ji Que and Ning Hongyu not only for their ability to deal with evil things, but also because they were "newcomers".
If someone makes a fuss about this matter, it may cause a lot of turmoil, and it is most appropriate to let the two newcomers take action.
Ji Que's goal is to go down and check the situation.
At this time, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu had already looked at the dossier of Yanglongtan.
Ning Hongyu knew about the existence of Yanglongtan, but didn't know that there was an ancient tomb under the Longtan.
The fact that there are ancient tombs in the imperial palace is actually rare, but it is also understandable, because no matter the dead or the living in the past dynasties, they all like places where Fengshui gathers.
This ancient tomb was excavated and built by the third emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty. That is to say, from this generation of emperors, the royal family of the Sheng Dynasty had a history of raising dragons.
Because there is a strong dragon spirit there.
The next morning, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu were ready to go into the water.
The water is dark green, and everything is deep and deep.
A row of snow plums is planted by the pool, shaking off with the wind, leaving a piece of pink, just like the pastel painted by a painter.
Ji Que and Ning Hongyu no longer hesitated, and jumped into the water, like a couple who threw themselves into the lake to die in love.
The water in this pool is very cold, a bit biting to the bone, Ji Que thought, and the pores of the body's skin closed, immediately isolating the feeling of coldness.
As they continued to dive, the skylight above them became farther and farther away from the two of them.
The well water is dark green, I don’t know its depth.
Ji Que and Ning Hongyu took a deep breath and began to dive.
At the same time, the sword bracelet in his hand glowed coldly, so that the two of them would not be blinded.
Ji Que and Ning Hongyu were nimble, like two swimming fish, diving quickly.
Especially Ning Hongyu, with a red dress, looks like the most beautiful mermaid in the world.
This pool is much deeper than Ji Que imagined. With his speed, he felt that he had been swimming for a long time, as if he could never reach the bottom.
After a period of time, the pool of water finally bottomed out.
There are a few big stones at the bottom of the pool, with moss growing on them, which looks like sticky snot, which is a bit disgusting.
Ji Que and Ning Hongyu looked around, but found no useful information.
According to the records in the dossier, Longju is near that ancient tomb.
So, Ning Hongyu closed his right eye.
The flow of the pond water is very weak, not much stronger than the fluctuation of a butterfly flapping its wings, but as long as it has flow, she can feel it.
Not long after, Ning Hongyu opened his right eye and swam somewhere.
There, many have a huge water hole appearing in sight.
The water hole is very rough, it should be brought out when you shuttle, and it is full of potholes.
This rough cave is not long, and the time for about half a cup of tea will come to an end.
There is also a pool at the end of the cave, but the water is much shallower. Ji Que and the others went upstream, and got up wet from the water.
The two soon found that they had come to a side hall.
The blue brick wall, the blue lamp, and the faint blue fire light on the lamp all prove that this is a corner of the underground tomb.
In addition to this pool, there are only a few bluestone pillars left in this side hall, which looks very simple.
If this is really an underground imperial tomb, Ji Que feels that it is much more shabby than he imagined.
However, Ji Que quickly realized that this tomb was built by three generations of emperors in the Sheng Dynasty. The style at that time was relatively primitive, and it was quite different from the current style.
Those blue flames have been burning, reflecting the wall into blue, Ji Que couldn't help raising his eyebrows and said: "This fire hasn't been burning since the time of the three emperors?"
He knew that there were mermen in the South China Sea. Legend has it that mermen are not mermaids, but human-shaped fish tails, with terrifying and hideous appearances.
Not only do they not shed tears, they sing beautifully, and it is said that they are particularly vicious when eating people. Many small coastal fishing villages are empty, and I am afraid that they all have the credit.
It is said that the oil of the sharks can last for thousands of years if it is used as fuel.
So Ji Que couldn't help suspecting that the lamp oil might be the oil of sharks.
Thinking that he still has business to do, Ji Que stopped worrying about such trivial matters. What he has to do now is to find the dragon.
But even Ning Hongyu lost his way for a while.
Even the traces of the Qingqi Department officials who came down before were not found.
Ji Que thought for a while, then jumped into the pool again.
He wandered around the pool at an alarming speed, making sure that there was nothing he was looking for.
In addition to the water, there are only a few underwater statues in this pool of water.
These statues should be based on some strange beasts, sinking at the bottom of the water, there is nothing special about them except they look a little weird.
At this moment, Ning Hongyu got into the water, pointed to the bottom of a statue, and waved it lightly with his hand.
The algae and soil floating in the water spread out, revealing a hole made of silt.
This should also be left by the dragon passing by.
The two continued to go deeper, and then came to a stone temple in the water.
This stone hall should be a side hall, and it is not very big.
But right there, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu heard a bang at the same time, and suddenly turned around.
They should have touched the mechanism, and countless sharp thorns drilled out of the ground in an instant.
These sharp thorns are very long and sharp, with a faint green light on the surface, enough to pierce a person's calf.
Ji Que looked at his feet and murmured, "Grandma, don't you need money for shoes?"
As he spoke, he raised his foot and found that there was a sharp hole in the shoe, and the sharp thorn that was supposed to go through the sole of his foot did not pierce his epidermis at all because of the force.
And Ning Hongyu dodged by relying on his reaction ability far superior to his peers.
The two of them didn't stay for long, their bodies swept away like light and shadow, and they left the side hall.
Outside the side hall is a very empty space, but the walls are still rocks, and there is no entrance.
In this empty space, there are still only some rough pillars, burning blue flames, and rows of strange beast statues similar to those in the water before.
I don't know whether these statues are too old or for some reason, they always give people a sense of ambiguity.
It means that you know its shape, but it is difficult to specify its five senses, but it obviously has five senses.
It's as if they came from an extremely distant place, so far away that it seems that they are not in the world, making it hard to see clearly.
Ji Que and Ning Hongyu continued to explore, and soon found a stone platform.
The stone platform stands there, it looks like an altar.
Here, the traces of human repairs can not help but become obvious, unlike the previous pillars and sculptures, which are between artificial and natural.
The stone platform is blue in color, with steps on all sides, and the four corners above the platform are four stone carvings of human faces.
Ji Que walked up and felt that the stone steps were covered with a layer of sand. As soon as he walked, the sand got into his shoes because of the holes in the soles.
"Corrupted?" Ji Que walked up step by step, frowning.
Soon, he walked to the platform and saw a room.
A room suddenly appeared on the altar, both Ji Que and Ning Hongyu were a little surprised.
This room looks like a coffin box that has been enlarged several times. It is rectangular in shape, but has windows and no doors.
I saw that the window paper of this room had rotted into a paste, and it looked a little creepy under the light of the blue fire.
Ji Que stood in front of the window, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly.
There is no bed, no chair, no table in the house, only a well.
A very large well, with tiny bubbles constantly popping out of it, as if something was living in it.
dragon?
