Looking at the situation inside the door from the perspective of everyone in the team, the main hall is brightly lit, giving it a somewhat majestic feel.
At this time, two rows of maids wearing pink skirts slowly walked out from the door. They lined up under the steps on both sides of the door, with their hands on their chests, quite politely.
The looks of these maids are not as scary as Yao Shuji, nor do they look like ghosts floating and moving in the air, they just look like ordinary maids from wealthy families.
Everyone in the team couldn't help but marveled, thinking, what kind of method is this?
Without making everyone wait for too long, a slightly special maid walked out of the door again. Judging from her clothes and hair accessories, she seemed to have a much higher status than these ordinary maids.
She walked up to everyone, gave a blessing, and said softly: "My master has been waiting inside for a long time. Please come with me."
Yu Liang wanted to say that we were not guests, but to kill people, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered Qi Zhen's performance just now and swallowed them back.
Well, just treat us as guests.
Anyway, we have Xiao Ao.
Yu Liang was not the only one who had such an idea. After Xiao Ao showed his unparalleled strength and profound understanding of ghosts in the first courtyard, everyone in the team became more confident about this trip.
At least you don't have to be timid anymore.
As long as Xiao Ao doesn't say anything, it means it's no big deal. If Xiao Ao shows that he is facing a powerful enemy or is nervous and fearful, he will either take out the Tianshi Talisman and throw it away, or prepare to grease the soles of his feet and run away. I'm afraid there is no other better option. Method.
After all, before entering this tomb, the team was already somewhat stretched to deal with the enemy.
After the maid said this, she turned around and walked into the main hall.
Xiao Ao followed closely behind with an expressionless face and didn't say anything to his teammates.
Everyone looked at each other and followed.
The maids on both sides all had low eyebrows and submissive looks. No one looked at the people passing by, and they looked extremely well-educated.
After entering the second main hall, everyone realized how different it was from the previous main hall.
A world of difference.
This main hall is obviously much wider than the first main hall, but since the furniture in the hall is all available, it seems to be much smaller than the first main hall.
Tables, chairs, lampstands are scattered here and there, and there are even bookshelves and a treasure pavilion. It really looks like an ordinary residence of a wealthy family.
But everyone's eyes only glanced at those things briefly.
Because their eyes were all attracted to the person sitting in front of them on the main seat.
It was completely different from what everyone in the team had imagined. The woman in front of them was dressed in palace attire, with a phoenix crown and a garnet. She looked gentle and looked like a queen in the palace.
In fact, before entering here, everyone was already prepared to face an evil ghost like Yao Shuji. They were fully prepared and even held the Celestial Master Talisman in their hands.
Although the shock on their faces was well concealed at this time, everyone's mood was actually far from being as calm and calm as it seemed on the surface. To be precise, everyone had not yet recovered from this huge sense of disparity. , a little dazed.
"For not being able to welcome us from afar, please forgive me, guests."
The woman in palace clothes stood up and saluted everyone.
Qi Zhen cupped her fists and cupped her hands, returned the salute to the woman, and said loudly, "I'm sorry to disturb the master's family and have a rest."
"The Taoist talisman in your hands is extremely powerful. It is more than enough to deal with ghosts like me. But please rest assured that I have no ill intentions towards you, so please put it away." The woman said gently.
Everyone in the team felt a little embarrassed when the other party revealed their thoughts. However, no one put away the Tianshi Talisman hastily. Instead, their expressions became more cautious.
The woman in palace clothes smiled casually, not paying attention to the reactions of the team, and continued: "Everyone, please sit down. Since you are here to be a guest, I must show you the etiquette of hospitality. When the time comes, I will be beaten." When the soul is gone, or when everything is peaceful, and the host and the guest are having a good time, they always have to chat for a while. Maybe no one has been here for a long time, so how about we take a seat first? "
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ao took the lead and sat generously on the chair next to him. Everyone in the team was stunned for a moment and sat down one by one.
"I know you have many doubts. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I know everything I want to say. Bin'er, I'll serve you some tea."
The last words were said to the maid beside him.
"There's no need to serve tea. If you serve it to us, we really don't dare to drink it." Qi Zhen shook her head and stretched out her hand to stop the maid named Bin'er, which was sincere.
"I really have something to look for, and I hope the master can clear up the confusion." Qi Zhen said with clasped fists.
"But it doesn't matter." The woman in palace clothes looked at Qi Zhen's movements and nodded approvingly.
Her eyes are not sharp, but when she speaks, she looks into other people's eyes with a very serious and focused expression. Not only does she not give people a sense of oppression, but she is also full of trust and respect, making people feel like they are taking a breath of fresh air.
Qi Zhen secretly praised the other party's self-restraint and asked softly: "Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself yet. I am the wife of King Ni. You can call me by my nickname. Just call me Yuyao." The woman in palace clothes introduced herself.
"How dare you call me by your name?" Qi Zhen waved her hand quickly, then was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Could it be that you are the princess?"
"Those are all things that happened during my lifetime and are not worth mentioning." Yuyao smiled softly and shook her head.
"You can't see Taishan with your eyes, I'm so offended." Qi Zhen clasped her fists and saluted again.
"It doesn't matter."
"The benevolent king mentioned by the princess is the master here?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Exactly."
"Then this is King Ni's tomb?"
Yuyao nodded.
Qi Zhen actually had many questions accumulated in her heart, but at this time she didn't know where to start.
The plot or the unfolding of the mission this time was completely entrusted by Wu Tian. Before coming here and even now, the team still knew very little about the entire incident. They went through all the obstacles to get here. The only thing they know now is, Or he just wanted to kill the Ghost King, whether it was to complete the trials before entering Shushan, to figure out the reason why Zhang Zongchang continued his life, or even just to restore peace to the people of Shu City.
However, all the way up to now is fighting and solving puzzles. It seems that the identity and situation of the other party are still hidden in a thick fog.
Knowing it but not knowing why is very inconsistent with Qi Zhen's usual style of doing things.
Where to start?
Qi Zhen's heart moved and she asked softly: "You are in the second courtyard, so you must know the woman in the front yard."
Yuyao let out a long sigh and slowly said: "That is a woman who has suffered a lot. Since you have been able to get here, you should have freed her."
"The man in armor guarding outside the tomb..."
"He was the most capable general under the prince's command during his lifetime. He was extremely powerful, but he was loyal to the prince. After the prince's death, he voluntarily transformed into a person who was neither a human nor a ghost, guarding the ghost house for the prince."
"We encountered a ghost before that can make people dream. Is that...?"
"What you are talking about should be the counselor of the prince. I have met him once or twice, but I don't know much about him."
"That barrier outside the mountain?"
"I set up that barrier to prevent ignorant humans from entering this place. Firstly, the prince's house needs peace to avoid disturbance by strangers. Secondly, I am worried that these people will come back and lose their lives in vain."
"Are these people, including you, here to prevent others from seeing His Highness Niou?"
"Yes."
Qi Zhen asked and Yu Yao answered.
Time passed slowly between this question and answer.
Everyone in the team finally had a general understanding of what they had experienced.
"But why is this?"
I asked many questions and got answers to them. These questions were all related to the team's past experiences, but they were not of much help to the team's next actions.
Only the last question got to the point of the matter.
But this question is difficult to answer.
what why?
Why would you prevent others from seeing this ghost king? Why do so many ghosts appear? Why don't you reincarnate safely and peacefully, but why are you here disturbing the peace of the place? Why is there Yao Shuji? Why is the princess like this?
Why?
Wu Tian's original intention was to let the team solve the incident involving the ghost king in the Dabie Mountains.
There are many ways to solve it, but the simplest way is to kill the opponent, then everything will stop.
But Qi Zhen never thought so.
He wanted to find out what was going on.
And this became even more difficult to suppress after he heard about Yao Shuji's life experience.
Even if you want to kill the opponent, you have to understand the ins and outs of the matter. Isn't this the fun of playing games?
The princess in front of her was obviously not stupid, so she looked at Qi Zhen as she should, and slowly said, "Why?"
Qi Zhen smiled bitterly, knowing that the question she asked was too big, so she organized her thoughts and asked: "Why do you want to prevent others from seeing Niou?"
"People and ghosts have different paths, so it is natural to prevent ordinary people from seeing us. Isn't this a very normal thing?" Yuyao asked.
"Why do people here turn into ghosts? And there are so many of them? Isn't it right to enter the six realms of reincarnation after death?" Qi Zhen asked next.
"The cycle of heaven has its own secrets. How can we, a little ghost, know it?"
Seemingly feeling that her answer was a bit blunt, Yuyao smiled apologetically at Qi Zhen, and then said: "Since I turned into a ghost, I am now like this. Although I have been practicing day and night, my progress has been slow. I don’t quite understand why I became a ghost, so please forgive me for that.”
Qi Zhen frowned, really confused.
