The sunset in Rajagaha is beautiful. The setting sun slowly sets against the golden sand dunes, and the line of desert loess is dark. The vast empty sandy land in front is illuminated with sparkling light, like gold.
The yellow sand on the street was blown up by the wind, covering the entire ancient city of Wangshe with a gray veil.
There are no more pedestrians on the road.
Fu Zhu covered the window to prevent the yellow sand from being swept into the house.
She sat down at the table, poured a cup of hot tea, and asked Riji, "You said before that Rajgir was dangerous. What did you mean?"
Riji gently landed on the table and picked the hibiscus flowers above her head to make a seat. The little man in the center of the flower held his head, shook it a few times, and whispered softly, "There is a very powerful ghost king in the city. Anyone who enters Rajagaha cannot get out."
Her golden pupils showed a look of reminiscence. At that time, she was still a hibiscus flower, growing on an ordinary piece of earth and stone in Rajagaha.
She saw many monks coming and going, some came to kill evil spirits, and some came to find the ancient pearl of Wangshe.
But they were unable to leave the city in the end, and the entire city seemed to have become a place that could only be entered but not exited.
The people of Rajagaha were eventually trapped and died here alive.
She didn’t know how long it took, but she found that she had transformed, but she couldn’t get out of the city. She hid everywhere every day until three hundred years ago, the barrier of the city suddenly opened on its own, and she escaped. .
Fu Zhu asked: "Do you know what that ghost king looks like?"
Hiji scratched his head and thought for a while, then shook his head slightly, "I have never seen her look like before."
Hiji said apologetically: "My transformation is too weak. Even if I raise my head, I can only see the hem of the ghost king's clothes."
She seemed sad that she couldn't provide Fu Zhu with useful information.
Fu Zhu put the little figure in her hand, lowered her head and spoke to her, "It's okay, don't feel sorry, maybe that ghost king isn't that powerful after all!"
Riji smiled through tears and nodded repeatedly, "The talisman beads are very powerful."
Fu Zhu is the most powerful person she has ever seen.
The girl was amused by her, and her solemn mood disappeared.
She became more and more curious about the secrets of Rajgir.
The prayer flags hanging by the window swayed leisurely, and occasionally the simple hexagonal palace bells rang, which seemed very abrupt in the silent city of Rajgir.
Two windows opened quietly, and several figures jumped down. The rustling movement was not loud and did not wake up other people in the inn.
Fu Zhu looked at the three people who checked into the inn today, sneaking in one direction, and she subconsciously wanted to follow them.
Remembering that Wu Sheng and Hiji were still sleeping, he quietly sat back down.
A pair of eyes looked at her steadily in the darkness, and suddenly said, "You want to follow?"
Fu Zhu was startled by the sudden sound, and the dark room suddenly lit up with fire.
Riji turned over, rubbed her eyes and sat up. She was not impatient to have her sleep disturbed. She asked softly, "Fu Zhu, what's wrong with you?"
Fu Zhu was still surprised that Wu Sheng had spoken. She raised her eyes to look at Wu Sheng. He had already shut his mouth tightly, as if the words just now were not his.
Fu Zhu gently touched the small flower on Riji's head and said, "Nothing's wrong. A few figures sneaked out of the inn just now. They were just a little curious."
Riji covered her mouth, only spread her two thumbs, and said: "Did Fu Zhu just want to save them? The innkeeper's wife said that it would be dangerous to leave the inn at night. Fu Zhu must be very kind-hearted to ignore it. Save others for your own safety.”
Wu Sheng raised his eyes and looked at Fu Zhu.
He knew that she was not such a kind-hearted person.
Fu Zhu kept a straight face as if nothing had happened. How should she explain it to Riji? She really hadn't thought about it that way.
I'm just curious, where are those people going out in the middle of the night, knowing it's not safe?
It was too troublesome to explain to a stubborn elf like Riji, so Fuzhu acquiesced to her idea.
Riji flew to the window, opened a small crack, and squinted one eye to look outside. There was no trace of anyone on the road.
She tilted her head and asked, "Fu Zhu, which direction did they go?"
Fu Zhu reached the window in one step, opened the window wide, and pointed in the direction, "No, that's over there."
Hiji exclaimed, "It's the palace, they're going to the palace!"
"Royal palace?" Fu Zhu murmured and asked, looking towards the direction of the palace. A huge bright moon was covering the sky above the palace.
Those monks probably wanted to find the Wangshe Ancient Pearl.
"Let's go take a look too." Fu Zhu turned his head and said to Hiji and Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng had naturally climbed up Shuang Xueming, but Riji was a little hesitant, "But the palace is very dangerous, so you must be careful with the talisman beads."
The girl promised softly, but her tone was extremely firm, "I will protect you and Wu Sheng."
Riji smiled and flew to Shuang Xueming's sword.
The long sword pierced the air, and the silver-white sword energy was like a bright moonlight in the ancient city of Wangshe.
The palace was very large, and when they arrived, the monks could no longer be found.
But there seemed to be a lot of people here, and a lot of rustling sounds and tiny voices could be heard.
"Are you sure the Wangshe Ancient Pearl is in the palace? We have been looking for it for so long and Mao has not found it."
"Brother, you can't say that. There are still a lot of jewelry here!"
A chestnut fell on the speaker's head, and he shouted angrily: "We are monks, what use are these earthly jewelry?"
There was a graceful woman who took the jewelry from the monk's hand and couldn't put it down. "Why is it useless? It's so beautiful. I can't find the Wangshe Ancient Pearl, so I might as well take some jewelry with me! It's better than returning empty-handed." Bar."
The eldest brother was silent and agreed with what the woman said.
"But it's strange to say that there has been a large influx of people into Rajagaha for a long time. Why is no one taking the jewels from the palace?" The woman asked doubtfully, holding the pearls and jade in her hands.
The leading man seemed to have never thought about this problem. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, he quickly took the woman's hand and shouted: "Let's go!"
The woman was staggered by him, and the pearls and gems in her hand fell to the ground, bouncing and rolling towards the palace door.
The younger brother behind him was still putting on jewelry. When he heard his elder brother's voice and raised his head, his eyes suddenly widened. He didn't know what he saw, and he fell to the ground.
The woman who had just stepped out of the palace door suddenly turned around and saw this scene. She screamed and covered her eyes, and asked in a trembling voice: "What happened to him?"
The man's heart sank, "Do you still remember what the madman on the street said on the first day you came to Rajagaha?"
The woman tried her best to think about it, looked at each other and said in unison: "Don't go to the palace!"
At that time, none of them took this sentence to heart. After all, everyone came here for the Wangshe Ancient Pearl. How could they not go to the palace?
She disliked the lunatic for soiling her clothes, so she just kicked him lightly and he died.
The woman suddenly became frightened. She held the man's hand tightly and said, "I don't want to become a madman. Let's leave quickly!"
A little confused
