long night walk

Chapter 729 The Princess

In the underground dark city, you can't see the sky when you look up, but when you look up, you can see a dark abyss with no end in sight.

Walking on the bridge, Bai Lian finally understood why this place was called an underground dark city. Who would have thought that there is such an abyssal city hidden under the border of this great country.

This is by no means that such a huge underground world can be built in a few decades.

But this dark city force did it, and it was only a stronghold in one country. Lin Zheng said that the dark city force spread all over the world, and even crossed the endless sea, and arrived at Zhao Kingdom, where the demon sect raged.

Thinking of this, Bai Lian was secretly startled.

This depends on how strong the background wealth is to be able to do this.

"Remember, although there are people from the immortal sect who enter the dark city, on the bright side, the dark city is a gray area that is not ashamed by hundreds of immortal sects. You must protect your identity here. If not, when you After leaving this underground city, it may be difficult for you to have a place in hundreds of families in all the countries of the world."

Ye Shu repeated again solemnly.

Bai Lian nodded to show that he already understood, and when the long ancient bridge was about to come to an end, a cold gaze seemed to shroud them.

That gaze was so obscure that even practitioners could hardly detect it, but Bai Lian still keenly sensed the existence of that faint gaze out of the corpse demon's instinct.

He stopped in his footsteps, staring back, there were countless pedestrians on the bridge, and his sight quickly disappeared in the sea of ​​people coming and going.

"What's wrong?" Ye Shu saw that he stopped suddenly.

Bai Lian shook his head: "It's nothing, let's go to the city?"

The gates of the underground dark city are blocked, and the gates in Yunyun are guarded by soldiers, because the people who can reach this area basically have the permission of the people behind the city.

The area here is extremely wide, and Baili'an took a look at it and knew that the area of ​​this underground city was comparable to that of the thousand-year-old ancient city 'Yunzhong' above the ground.

There are also fairs here, as well as long streets and alleys, but in these alleys, the people living in these alleys are not the residents of the underground dark city, but outsiders wearing masks from all over the world.

After paying a certain overdue fee in the city, you can choose a small alley house, where you can display your goods and commodities that you have obtained through shady means for sale.

Bai Lian saw that most of the goods were still stained with undried blood and old soil.

Seeing that Bai Lian's eyes were fixed on these people, Ye Shu explained patiently.

"Most of these people are tomb robbers, and the products they sell are all funeral objects of famous masters or young masters of the immortal family when they died. Now it seems that they are relatively few.

I heard that as early as more than 200 years ago, the tomb robbery industry was the most prosperous. Even the three major cemetery holy places of Taixuan, Tianxi, and Cangwu were repeatedly stolen by tomb robbers. "

Bai Lian was surprised: "Tomb robbers are so rampant? Even the three sects of Heaven and Dao dare to trespass?"

Ye Shudao: "The three sects are well-deserved, no matter how aggressive the tomb robbers are, all they can steal are the sacrificial objects outside the cemetery, and they have no access to the real core funerary objects.

Only 200 years ago, a group of extremely clever tomb robbers came from Beihai. The Tianxi Sword Sect fell for the first time. No one knew what those tomb robbers stole. The bloody and violent methods of the tomb robbers back then were frightening to hear, so there are very few tomb robbers today. "

Bai Li'an's expression suddenly tightened, and for some reason, his heart felt very blocked.

He suddenly recalled what she said when he parted with Ning Feiyan, and his voice was inexplicably dry: "What did you steal? How could it attract the sword master Yu to kill?"

After all, Ye Shu was not from 200 years ago. He knew very little about what happened back then, and most of it was just hearsay. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. After all, the Tianxi Sword Sect suppressed the tomb robbery very strictly. Everyone Later on, I guessed that the coffin of some previous sword master was stolen, why? You are very interested in this matter?"

Bai Lian suddenly fell silent and became extremely quiet.

Ye Shu gave him a strange look, and found the suppressed anxiety under his quiet eyebrows, he pondered: "Anyway, you have come to this underground dark city now, if you really want to know about this, why not inquire about the whereabouts of your demon pet?" Buy an extra piece of information about Cullinan when doing intelligence.

Here, even the truth hidden in the yellow sand of history, as long as you have enough money, they can dig it out for you. "

A long bridge had come to an end, and Bai Lian stood on the bridge, looking up at the dark city that looked like a monster entrenched above him. After a long while, he slowly uttered two words: "...that's fine."

There is no point in wasting time wandering around the small workshops in the city. Here, monks from all over the world basically resell the stolen goods that they can't get rid of.

Among all the countries in the world, there is no black market that is more safe and secure than this place.

Ye Shu's status in the dark city is not low. He is a high-level night hunter and can go to many places where others are restricted.

For example, this Yulou.

Yulou is located in the middle of the dark city. It is the largest gold selling cave in the underground world, and it is also a well-known dark business here.

The Yulou is open once a month, selling all kinds of rare treasures through auctions, and the Tianxi Sword Sect is about to recruit disciples, and the high-level monsters hunted here will be imprisoned in this Yulou for training.

The little deer is most likely to be sold by Yu Lou, and here, you can also buy the best slaves, elixir, weapons, secrets and information.

Ye Shu is obviously also a frequent visitor of Yulou. After he gave his token to the steward in the building to have a look, the steward immediately led him and Bai Lian from the exclusive private box politely and respectfully.

The space of the elegant seat is not too big, the furnishings are elegant and simple, there is a tripod incense burner on the table, but no incense is burned, I don't know what it is for if it is empty here.

The private box stands on the third floor, although it is a very honorable seat where you can see the whole situation, but there is a balcony seat above the third floor.

And in the balcony on that floor, there are only two boxes for guests, presumably they will only entertain extremely distinguished guests.

In the center of the lobby of Yulou, there is a huge display stand, covered with five layers of light protection barriers of different colors, which are auction items displayed by the protectors of the power of the five elements.

Seeing the layers of protective light, Ye Shushu showed a strange color, and he seemed puzzled and said to himself: "It's strange, it's not the auction night yet, why has the protective barrier been opened, it's possible that the auction time has come earlier gone?"

Bai Lian's expression changed, and he said, "What do you mean? We didn't plan to hold an auction today?"

Ye Shudao: "Yu Tower is open every day, but it sells products with a fixed quota every day, and the price is clearly marked.

Only extremely rare items will be displayed on the auction night, but today's enchantment is opened, which is exactly the same as the auction night. "

How could it be such a coincidence?
Bai Lian frowned, feeling something was wrong.

It was clear that the auction night had not yet come, but when Ye Shu brought him to the Dark City, the auction was scheduled ahead of time...

Is it a coincidence, or has someone already arranged it?

Ye Shu also felt puzzled: "But I haven't heard any rumors before this, so could it be...is there any important person coming today?"

However, what kind of big shot can make Dark City change the auction time and advance it?
As a result, many people will miss the auction time, and the number of people present today is far less than half of the past.

But since it is an auction, it is natural that the more people who participate in the auction, the better, so that the price benefits can be maximized.

Just when he finished speaking, the vision of the two of them suddenly brightened, and the lights in the two dim private rooms on the fourth floor suddenly turned on at the same time.

Its brilliance burns all over the audience.

Ye Shu's face changed slightly, and he was taken aback.

Seeing that he reacted greatly and stood up, Bai Lian couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Ye Shu's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, with a dignified expression, he murmured: "The rules of Yulou are that the host does not welcome guests. The only exception is this four-story building. I have been in the Dark City for many years, and this is the first time I have seen four floors. Light up the building."

Bai Lian slowly leaned his back on the chair, not only felt the change of tension in Ye Shu, but even the atmosphere in the whole Yulou was inexplicably depressed, and the whole third floor was suddenly silent.

After a long time, Bai Lian raised his hand to take a cup of tea, added a cup of hot tea to Ye Shu, and handed it to him: "Lighting on the fourth floor? Is there any meaning?"

Ye Shu took the tea and took a deep breath, as if to calm down the nervous and shocked emotions.

He took a sip of hot tea, his pale face regained some blood, and said: "There are four floors in Yulou, and the private rooms on the third floor are divided into A, B, C, and D. Now we are sitting in B room, B room The hosts are all the sons of the noble families in Kyoto, the nobles of the military aircraft department, or the children of the sect on Lingshan. In Zeguo, their status is already extraordinary.

And that Jiajian entertained the royal descendants of Zeguo Murong and Changting Yishi. You might as well think about it, in the territory of Zeguo, the imperial power should be supreme, but in the four-story building that has never been opened, To be able to surpass the imperial power, who do you think can sit on the fourth floor in this continent? "

Ye Shu's face became more and more solemn: "According to the calculation, there are only a handful of them on Tianyao Continent!"

Bai Lian held the empty teacup still, and looked at the pattern of plain patterns on the tablecloth quietly with his eyes slightly raised: "It seems that there will be something extremely interesting in today's auction night."

Ye Shu's heart was heavy, and he understood that since he could attract something with four floors and two rooms side by side, it was naturally extraordinary.

Although I don't know what it is, I also know that once a treasure of that level comes out, it will definitely set off a bloody storm!
But why did this thing appear in Ze Country? !
Ye Shu raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Lian, and asked, "Who do you think...the two sitting on the fourth floor are?"

Ye Shu's heart was really confused. Bai Lian didn't know as well as he did about the underground dark city, but at this moment he asked Bai Lian to guess the identities of the two above.

Bai Lian laughed and shook his head. At this moment, the whole venue erupted in an uproar, like a frying pan, and the exclamations ebbed and flowed.

The lights lit on the fourth floor became brighter and brighter, and the curtain of the private room was gently lifted by a jade hand.

The gauze curtains of the attic were opened wide, and under the window stood a beautiful woman in classical court attire. She was dignified and noble, her hair was coiled up high, and her black temples were adorned with complicated golden hair accessories.

The beauty is noble and dignified. She wears exquisite makeup, with Qin's unique blue plum blossom makeup on her brows, and her exquisite face is full of aristocratic pride and indifference.

When everyone looked up and looked over, she was gently caressing a poppy plant in front of the window with her soft white and delicate hands, with long armor on her little finger and ring finger, her whole body was full of elegance people.

Her calm and calm eyes flicked across the downstairs, and there was a faint smile on her lips: "Tonight, it's so lively."

When Ye Shu saw the woman's face clearly, he couldn't help but gasped.

Bai Lian didn't know that woman, and seeing his violent reaction, he couldn't help asking, "Who is she?"

Ye Shu's voice trembled slightly, and the shock in his eyes couldn't be suppressed, he opened his lips with difficulty and said, "Princess Qin, Zhao Wenjun."

Princess Qin?
Bai Lian was taken aback, why did the members of Qin's royal family appear in Ze's underground dark city.

Moreover, Qin State and Ze State are evenly matched, and the status of the royal families of both parties should be equal. Why can the royal family of Ze State only live on the third floor, while the eldest princess of Qin State can live on the fourth floor.

"Are you wondering why she was able to go up the fourth floor?" Ye Shu looked at Bai Li'an with a complicated expression.

Bai Lian glanced at the eldest princess again, and said, "I'm even more curious, why she can ignore the rules of the dark city and not wear a mask."

The corners of Ye Shu's lips twitched, and he forced a smile: "This is the same as the answer to the question I just asked you."

"The eldest princess Zhao Wenjun, the sister of the emperor of Qin, is also the only blood relative. The monarch of Qin has nowhere to go. As early as 200 years ago, he was paralyzed on the bed and has not recovered. The eldest princess handles power on her behalf, so her status is naturally different from that of ordinary royal nobles."

"The eldest princess is in charge of state affairs?" Bai Lian was surprised.

According to this, the emperor of Qin was lying on the couch with a serious illness, and the eldest princess was in charge of the capital, wouldn't that be no different from a female monarch?
Furthermore, the king of a country has nothing to come out of, lost his heir to inherit the throne, and is ruled by a woman. No matter how you look at it, everything is a bit weird.

Seeing Bai Lian's expression, Ye Shu understood what he was thinking, and said, "You don't have to suspect that Emperor Qin's serious illness is related to the eldest princess, because the eldest princess didn't intend to take power, but was pushed to that position. .”

Bai Lian was surprised again.

Ye Shudao: "For others, being in charge of a country's life and death may be a supreme honor, but for a person without strength, this kind of power will only become a butcher's knife hanging around her neck."

Ye Shu quietly pointed to the eldest princess Zhao Wenjun on the fourth floor with his eyes, and said, "You have a good cultivation, you might as well use your spiritual sense to find out, how is she different from others?"

Bai Lian released his spiritual sense to detect the eldest princess for a while, and when he withdrew his divine sense, his face changed color: "She doesn't have a spiritual root?!"

Without spiritual roots, one is naturally an ordinary mortal, without cultivation, without strength, but ruling a country.

And 200 years!
In 200 years, she has not experienced birth, old age, sickness and death, and she is still young and beautiful.

Ye Shu nodded and said: "To be precise, the spiritual root was dug out by life. 200 years ago, the sword master Yu was assassinated by the devil, and his life was dying. It was the eldest princess who cut open her chest and gouged out the spiritual root." , used the spiritual root as medicine, and passed it to the sword master Yu, which saved his life."

Bai Lian was stunned: "She and Sword Master Yu actually have this life-saving grace..."

Ye Shudao: "It's not just a life-saving grace."

"Sword Master Yu was born in Qin State. He is the son of the noble family of Qin State. He has been childhood sweetheart with the eldest princess Zhao Wenjun since he was a child. It is a match made in heaven in the eyes of the people of Qin State today. It is a perfect match in the world."

Bai Lian frowned and said, "But how did I hear that the Sword Master Tianxi and Zhongyou's Houtu Empress..."

"That's right, Sword Master Yu finally married Empress Zhongyou as his wife. Some people say that Princess Qin's unilateral obsession with Sword Master Yu failed, and others say that Sword Master Yu had a political marriage suspicion with Zhongyou in order to help the righteous way of the immortal sect. , so I reluctantly parted with the eldest princess to say goodbye, in short, there are different opinions, and no ordinary mortal can truly see through the feelings of the sword head of the heavenly way."

"It's just that although the sword master married the Empress Zhongyou, after all, the friendship with the eldest princess is still there when she was young. The eldest princess has a blood that is more proud and stronger. She was born in a noble sect, and she has always acted generously and dignifiedly.

After learning that the sword master Yu married a wife and had children, she didn't bother her. It's just that after being poisoned and killed by the devil prison, the proud and strong woman gave up her whole life's cultivation and gave up all her self-esteem and life. You said, As long as there is Sword Master Yu around for a day, who among the nations of the world would dare to make things difficult for her? "
