Big Moon Ballad

A dark cloud moved slowly, covering the moonlight in the sky.

In the shadow of the pillar, Li Ji stared at the writhing live scorpion on the ground.

He is well-informed, there are all kinds of wonders in the world, and everyone has their own preferences.Even if Queen Daqin's hobby was to eat scorpions alive, he would not make a fuss, and would only respect and bless her.

But the problem is that the thing wriggling on the ground at this time is not an ordinary scorpion.

The scorpions on the ground are covered with bumps, like toads.Suddenly Li Ji didn't recognize what happened just now, and thought that someone wrapped the dried toad skin on the live scorpion.

But after looking carefully, he found that it wasn't wrapped up, but the toad's skin actually grew on the scorpion's body.

This is definitely not a creature that can appear under natural conditions.

With a whoosh, a gray mouse got out from the crack in the brick and sprinted under Li Ji's feet.The live scorpion that was rolling on the ground stood up like a bolt of lightning and bit the mouse.

The mouse froze, fell to the floor tiles with a snap, twitched twice, and died.

All this happened in a short moment, faster than the poison of the Seven Step Snake.

According to Lady Yao, the palace people would come back on time in the morning to wait for the queen to wake up.

Legend has it that many poisonous insects are put in a vessel to devour each other, and finally the immortal poisonous insects are called Gu.But Li Ji once saw a saying that if there are two poisonous insects left in the end, and they are one male and one female, there is a one-thousandth chance that a new poisonous insect will be born.

But this is not reasonable, if Queen Qin really wants to pretend that she is in the palace, it is safest to keep a few dowry maids in the palace to cover her up.The dowry she brought from the Northern Wei Dynasty should always be faithful.

In other words, this is not an ordinary bug, but a Gu.

After more than half an hour, Li Ji searched most of the room, but still found nothing.

Li Ji's nerves were tense to the extreme, he hid his aura to the extreme, and sneaked into the palace.

Swish!
A sword qi passed by, and the live scorpions and dead rats on the ground immediately turned into a wisp of green smoke.

Gu God is a top-level monster that will not easily appear in the world.And what kind of thing would be able to feed on Gu God?
……

Such a strange thing actually existed in such a big way in the former Qin palace, and it almost became the dinner of the former Qin queen.

What's the secret that Queen Qin can't even trust her own dowry?

If there is nothing wrong with his five senses, combined with Queen Qin's series of weird actions, Li Ji can only think of two possibilities.

Everyone lowered their heads and walked heavily, but once they stepped through the palace gate and turned around a few corners, the footsteps of the maids suddenly became lighter. They rushed to the residence of the palace ladies, as if they were escaping from this place. The place is average.

Li Ji had goose bumps all over his body.

Although the poisonous scorpion is not fully enlightened because of its small size, it is not difficult for practitioners to get rid of it.But if he wasn't here just now, this Gu God ran around in the palace after escaping, with its speed and toxicity, it is entirely possible to kill everyone in the palace at night.

Just when Li Ji thought that his first guess had come true and Queen Qin was really not in Weiyang Palace, a candle light suddenly lit up in a small room deep in the palace.

Li Ji looked at the ashes on the ground, he suspected that the thing he just destroyed was the legendary Gu God.

Just because the direction where the candlelight was lit, there was still no human breath.

As he speculated before, this is not a living creature in the sky, but something specially raised by humans.

The entire palace was also plunged into darkness, like a dead city.

But in the darkness, in the room behind him, there was no living creature breathing.

As he walked carefully in the dark, his mind was spinning rapidly.

This new poison was born of the Gu King and the Gu Mother, and it has the characteristics of both poisons at the same time, so it is very evil.

Where is the former Queen of Qin?

This kind of Gu is also called Gu God because it is extremely rare and poisonous.

Li Ji's hand holding the hilt of the sword became cold for a while.

The live scorpion jumped on the mouse's corpse, bit the mouse's neck, and sucked up the blood.

But the queen drove everyone away.

But... There is no doubt that there should be someone inside.

One is that there are secret passages leading to other places in the queen's palace.After nightfall, Queen Qin would secretly go to other places through secret passages, and to the outside world, she would create the illusion that she was staying in the palace. That's why she sent all the palace people away every time nightfall.

Bits of ashes fell on the floor tiles, but Li Ji was still cold all over.

All the rooms he passed were lifeless and without light, but he groped through them one by one, hoping to find something.

It's not that Queen Qin is not in the palace, she is inside, but for some reason there is no human breath on her body.

At the same time, he became more and more uneasy, with an ominous premonition in his heart.

After nightfall, Weiyang Palace is the quietest palace in the whole palace except Lenggong.

There is no doubt that the former Queen of Qin is inside.

With the cultivation base of a celestial cultivator, it is very easy to destroy such a small evil, but what really terrifies him is the true identity of this thing.

As Lady Yao said, Queen Qin is indeed a bit eccentric.After the second watch, there was almost no human breath in the whole palace.After the two maids dressed in Northern Wei Dynasty left the palace gate with empty food boxes, the palace behind them was completely devoid of the breath of living things.

At least it was the night he came.

A cold air rose from Li Ji's back, and his hand almost reflexively touched the hilt of the sword at his waist.

It was not his first conjecture that was fulfilled, but the second.

……

Even if Queen Qin sent out all the palace servants and guards, what about herself?
Li Ji didn't see the person who looked like a queen leave, and all the palace people left in an orderly manner, saluting towards the palace from a distance, as if the master was not at home.

The night had completely fallen, and batches of court ladies stepped out of the palace gates and lined up to leave the palace.

Then its body expanded rapidly, becoming as big as a small snake.The live scorpion swayed a few times on the floor tiles, stood upright, a pair of small eyes on the top of its head suddenly bulged, and looked at Li Ji.

When he saw Lady Yao's back disappearing into the corner of the palace wall, he closed his eyes and flew down.

He originally planned to visit Weiyang Palace tonight, and it was only by chance that he met those two maids, but he did not expect to discover such a big secret.

Li Ji stood on the eaves of the roof, quietly watching the leaving palace ladies.

Thinking of the sorcery that he had seen in ancient books, Li Ji's heart sank continuously.

Li Ji turned around slowly, looking at the tall and dead palace behind him.

The palace has long since become a den of monsters.

The next moment, something even more terrifying happened.

"Jing'er, are you full?"

In the direction where the candlelight was lit, a man's voice sounded.

he came
