In the palace, in the royal garden.
Qin Yao and others were led to a deep pit by the chamberlain. When they looked down, they saw densely packed snakes coiled together in the pit, and their hissing sounds were continuous, which was visually and auditory. People bring double terror.
Although Taiyi had already cultivated an immortal body, his scalp was still numb after seeing this scene. He resisted the urge to cast spells and set fire, and silently looked away.
Not long after, a group of soldiers wearing black armor, led by Zhan Juan, escorted seventy-two maids from the former queen's palace to the opposite side of Qin Yao and others. The two sides looked at each other across the pit.
“Violent ghosts and evil spirits.”
Looking at the unattractive Zhanjuan, Uncle Jiu said with great certainty.
He has been dealing with demons and ghosts all his life. Even if the other party hides it well and does not show any ghost energy, it is invisible in his eyes.
"Didn't Emperor Xin notice the ghosts and monsters walking openly in the palace?" Taiyi asked puzzledly.
Qin Yao said: "You are probably aware of it, but you are confident that no evil spirit can hurt you."
"The empress has arrived." Just when Jiang Ziya was about to speak. , a loud shout suddenly sounded nearby.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a graceful black-robed girl wearing gold and silver striding over, followed by a group of maids.
“Meet the empress.” Zhanjuan bowed and saluted.
Daji nodded slightly and said indifferently: "Push these seventy-two palace ladies to the edge of the pit."
"Yes."
Xuanjia soldiers were ordered to drive them away. The maids came to the big pit, their toes less than an inch away from the pit.
Seeing all the snakes in the pit at such a close distance, almost all the maids were frightened to death, and some even fainted from fear. Their bodies fell into the pit, and were lifted up in the air by Taiyi's magic power, and then sent back to the edge of the pit.
"What do you mean by this?" Jiang Ziya asked knowingly.
Daji glanced at Taiyi, then looked into Jiang Ziya's eyes and said, "These maids cry for rebels and are implicated. If they are not dealt with, where will the majesty of the Yin and Shang Dynasties be?"
< br>Jiang Ziya frowned: "The so-called majesty of the Yin Shang Dynasty is based on the massacre of these defenseless maids?"
Daji: "Anything related to the rebellion must be dealt with with iron blood, so that the long-term peace and order of the country can be maintained."
< br>
Jiang Ziya felt bitter in his heart and argued: "If you don't understand the origin of the rebellion, you just suppress it blindly. It will never usher in long-term peace and stability, it will only usher in the war of the world."
"The reason why you came to see me is to Are you talking about these big principles?" Daji asked coldly.
Jiang Ziya shook his head and pointed to the sobbing palace maids in front of the pit opposite: "I'm here to save them."
Daji said: "Save? Could it be that you are also related to the rebellion?"
“It has nothing to do with it, I just can’t bear to see the tragedy happen.” Jiang Ziya responded.
Daji's face paused and she said quietly: "I heard rumors that you used a cover that could set fire to collect a jade pipa?"
Qin Yao turned his hand and summoned hundreds of jade stones. The fragments were suspended above the palm of the hand: "Yes, this is the jade pipa."
Looking at the jade fragments stagnant in the void, Daji's body and soul also stagnated, and did not recover for a long time.
Subconsciously, she never thought that the other party would harm the Jade Pipa. After all, after sealing the demon soul, it was also a top-quality magic weapon.
Who will destroy the best magic weapon in hand?
"Why did the empress say this?" Qin Yao twitched his hand to remove the immortal energy, and pieces of jade fragments suddenly fell down.
Daji was awakened by him, but the demon soul was also going crazy.
Is this guy sick? !
"You, you, you..." In extreme anger, her face turned red quickly and she stuttered when she spoke.
Those are the sisters who have been with her for thousands of years. They are like family members. Now there are only a bunch of fragments left.
"Is the empress suffering from some kind of mouth disease? To be honest, Pindao used to stutter when he spoke. It is said that a long-term illness makes a good doctor. Now he has accumulated a lot of experience in this area and learned some treatment methods. How about I help you take a look?" Qin Yao said.
Daji felt murderous intent raging in her heart, but she knew that now was not the time to attack.
Looking at these smelly Taoist priests, the only ones she was confident of defeating were Jiang Ziya and the young-looking child. In this case, she could only bring shame on herself.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your kindness, but I don't have a mouth problem." After taking several deep breaths, Daji finally suppressed the anger in her heart, pointed at the seventy-two palace maids and said: "You don't want to save them. Well, then give me a reason to let them go."
Qin Yao said: "I am willing to enter this pit of ten thousand snakes on their behalf."
Daji sneered and said: "Taoist priest, you can even suppress goblins with your hands, how can you be afraid of these mere snakes and insects? Do you think I am a three-year-old child, so easy to fool!"
Qin Yao said : "What do you want? ?"
Daji pointed at Jiang Ziya and said expressionlessly: "Let him go."
Everyone: "..."
This goblin is really good at picking on the weak. persimmon.
Among them, the weakest one is the person who conferred the title of God. He is neither a high nor a low achiever. Looking at the second-generation disciples of the entire Chan Sect, he is the weakest in terms of strength and combat power. He is even the weakest. Not even the immortal body has been completed.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have looked so senile, and I wouldn’t have accepted the 68-year-old yellow-flowered old girl without heart.
"No."
Shaoqing, Taiyi came back to his senses and said seriously: "Junior brother, you are not yet a fairy. Jump into this snake pit in case you are bitten by a poisonous snake. , then our great cause will be blocked.”
Jiang Ziya: “…”
Senior brother, if you can’t speak, you don’t have to speak.
Qin Yao raised his eyes and stared at Daji, saying: "Do you dare to establish a written document with us?"
"Junior Brother Shen." Taiyi called.
Qin Yao raised his hand: "Brother, please be patient."
"You can establish written evidence, but I have requirements." Daji glanced at everyone except Jiang Ziya, Ningsheng said: "The requirement is that none of you can help him, not any form of help."
"Okay." Qin Yao agreed immediately.
"Junior brother, don't take risks." Taiyi couldn't help but remind him.
Qin Yao was too lazy to pay attention to the fat man. He just turned to look at Jiang Ziya and asked seriously: "Senior Brother Jiang, are you willing to believe me?"
Jiang Ziya gritted his teeth and said: "I I believe you.”
In fact, he is gambling. The most important part of this ingredient is that he believes in the reputation of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun.
Precisely because he knew how difficult it was for Shen Gongbao to get this position, he believed that the other party would not risk losing this position to harm him.
Qin Yao nodded and said: "Empress Daji, it's time to establish a written document."
"Zhanjuan, go to my palace to get paper and pen." Daji ordered.
"Don't bother, I have paper and pen here." Qin Yao took out the yellow talisman paper and cinnabar pen, quickly wrote a note, raised his hand and threw it to the opposite side of the snake pit: "Lord Zhan, take it." Zhan Juan raised her right hand, caught the pen and paper with a snap, and turned around to hold the document in front of Daji, ignoring half of her arm that was numb from the shock.
Daji looked down, picked up the cinnabar pen, and wrote her name on the yellow talisman paper.
When the three words Su Daji were completed, the yellow talisman paper and the brush flew up at the same time and rushed towards Qin Yao.
Daji looked at him with gloomy eyes as he put away the pen and paper, and said coldly: "Can you go down now?"
"Go, Senior Brother Jiang." Qin Yao urged softly.
Jiang Ziya mustered up his courage and walked towards the Ten Thousand Snakes Pit step by step. When he was less than three steps away from the pit, countless white cranes suddenly fluttered their wings and flew over, rushing towards the pit in a mighty manner.
In just a moment, all the snakes in the cave were captured, and then they flew away in groups.
Daji was stunned, and then said angrily: "You broke the contract."
Qin Yao said calmly: "Where did we break the contract?"
Daji was speechless.
Based on her behavior, she really didn’t see any signs of spellcasting by these people.
"Bang!"
Jiang Shang, who was silently relieved, jumped into the pit, raised his head and shouted: "Please release the seventy-two maids and give them their freedom."
Daji shook her head , and did not intend to admit it: "I was deceived by you. You deliberately played such a game to win against me. I don't accept it!"
Qin Yaochong As she unfolded the paper, she said: "I am willing to admit defeat. It is a matter of course. It is written here in red letters on yellow paper. How can I allow you to go back on your word?
If you refuse to admit defeat, we will take this paper to the palace. Xugong asked the master to go to the Wa Palace with the receipt and ask the emperor whether he should acknowledge the bet he signed. "
Daji was dumbfounded.
She didn’t expect that the other party would actually see through her base, and even know that she was sent by Nuwa.
But then I thought about it, the other party had captured Pipa Jing, and it would not be difficult to pry out the matter from Pipa Jing. In fact, in order to survive, Pipa Jing might even take the initiative to confess.
Thinking of this, her desire to avenge him faded away, and she waved her hand with an irritated face: "Go, go, go, take these irritating palace maids away quickly, don't let me see you again. "
"Come here." Qin Yao waved to the maids who were staring at them.
The palace ladies, who had forgotten to cry due to the tense situation, took a breath and ran over with their skirts in hand, immediately surrounding everyone.
Jiang Shang used Qinggong, jumped onto the big pit, and said with cupped hands: "Thank you, Madam, we will leave..."
Soon after, Qin Yao and others took the maids out of the palace, The palace maids who were originally happy to survive looked at the relatively unfamiliar environment outside, and their smiles disappeared.
"Senior Brother Jiang, rescuing them from the palace is just the beginning, not the end. More importantly, do you have any ideas on how to settle them?" Qin Yao asked.
"Junior Brother Shen is indeed different. He has become not only a skin, but also a soul." At this time, an immortal wearing a white Taoist robe with a ruddy face and a big forehead came riding on a crane. Come and appear in front of everyone.
"Greetings to Brother Anji."
After seeing the old man's appearance, Qin Yao, Taiyi, and Jiang Shang all saluted and said in unison.
This seemingly kind and kind-faced bald old man is the famous Antarctic Immortal of the Chan Sect. He has the same status as Taoist Randen and Taoist Duobao, ranking above the Twelve Golden Immortals.
So even if Senior Brother Guangchengzi is here, he needs to be the first to salute when he sees the Antarctic Immortal...
"No need to be polite." The crane hangs above everyone's heads and sits cross-legged on its back. The old man on top raised his hand and asked with a smile: "Shen Gongbao, how did you figure out that I was nearby?"
Qin Yao shook his head: "I never calculated that senior brother was nearby, just because I believed what the master said. The master said that senior brother Jiang is a man of destiny. I don't believe that a man of destiny will be bitten to death by a poisonous snake."
The Antarctic Immortal couldn’t help laughing: “ Your idea is not bad. But what if it happens?"
Qin Yao smiled and said: "There are still two sword spirits in my body. If Senior Brother Jiang is in danger, it will happen. It's time for them to show up. The contract I signed with Daji is me. We people can't help, I didn't say that the Sword Spirit can't help!"
The Antarctic Immortal laughed and scolded: "You are full of evil ideas, but because your starting point is good, you are not annoying. , even Pindao has changed their opinion of you a lot. "Keep going, you know, maybe you can become a new benchmark for all monsters in the world in the future."
Qin Yao suddenly realized that when Yuanshi Tianzun changed his view of himself, everyone would appear from Yuanshi onwards. The knock-on effects of change.
There are two short sentences that are very suitable for his current situation. One is that what is good at the top will be worse at the bottom. Another is that the King of Chu has such a thin waist that many people in the palace starve to death!
It can only be said that Yuanshi’s will is the will of Chanmen...
“Thank you, senior brother, for your guidance. I know where the way forward is.” Qin Yao bowed and saluted.
"Good." The Antarctic Immortal Man stroked his beard and smiled: "Children can be taught."
At the same time, Jiang Ziya felt strange.
Didn’t you say that I am the destined person?
What do you always talk to Shen Gongbao about?
"Ziya." Just as he was cursing in his heart, the Antarctic Immortal suddenly called out.
"Senior brother, I'm here." Jiang Ziya felt a guilty conscience inexplicably and responded loudly.
The Antarctic Immortal stretched out his hand and pointed at the seventy-two palace ladies and said: "How about I help you arrange these palace ladies?"
Jiang Ziya was overjoyed: "I can't get what I asked for."
The Antarctic Immortal waved his hand and included all seventy-two maids in his sleeves. Finally, he looked at Qin Yao and said, "Junior Brother Shen, please support me."
Qin Yao cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, senior brother."
The Antarctic Immortal smiled, flicked his sleeves, and rode the crane away.
Looking up at his leaving back, Taiyi couldn't help but sigh.
So, if I don’t get the Golden Immortal position, am I not even qualified to be greeted by Senior Brother Anji?
"What's wrong, Senior Brother Taiyi?" Jiang Ziya happened to catch a glimpse of his expression and asked in confusion.
Taiyi waved his hands repeatedly: "Nothing, nothing, I'm just a little tired."
Jiang Ziya couldn't help but wonder, "Senior brother, you haven't done anything all day, why are you still here?" Will you be tired?”
Taiyi: “…”
Qin Yao's shoulders trembled, and he suppressed his laughter.
Noting that Taiyi's complexion suddenly became worse, Jiang Ziya said again: "Brother, your complexion has become even worse. Are you sick?"
"Yes!" Taiyi really has no shame in staying here. Here, he waved his sleeves and said: "I will go back to the mountain to recuperate."
"Master." Tai Bing followed subconsciously.
“Don’t follow me.” Taiyi said, clouds formed at his feet, and he headed straight into the sky.
Tai Bing paused and stayed where he was, with a look of confusion on his face.
Qin Yao reached out and patted his shoulder: "It's okay, don't worry about your master, I will come back after he calms down!" (End of Chapter)
