Counting on your fingers, the fifth marriage is coming

"But I still have to remind you, Your Highness, that there is no such thing as a secret that lasts forever. The longer you hide something, the more suspicious it will be."

Prince Shou frowned slightly, thinking that he was reminding him of something: "What do you mean by this, Palace Master?"

Nangong Fei chuckled, "Your Highness, your thoughts are actually quite easy to guess. You hid the human soul and the earth soul tightly, but you put the sky soul in the mansion as if to cover up the truth. Aren't you trying to lure you into a trap?"

Prince Shou's pupils suddenly shrank and his fingertips tightened suddenly.

He stared at Nangong Fei, his eyes filled with an undisguised sharpness.

"Palace Master, I would like to remind you that smart people are often easily defeated by their own cleverness."

"It's not that I'm smart, it's that the prince seems to have really grown old, his eyesight is so blurry that he can't even recognize people."

Nangong Fei suddenly raised his hand, and the air in his robe swept through. Nine bronze coins flew out of his sleeves and formed a pattern of Greedy Wolf Devouring the Moon in the air.

The runes engraved on the divination coins suddenly lit up and turned into golden threads that tightly bound Prince Shou's limbs.

“Nangong Fei, you…what are you doing?!” Prince Shou was horrified. He looked around and struggled to break free from the golden thread, but found that the golden thread was getting tighter and tighter like a living thing.

"Haven't you been waiting for me to come?"

Nangong Fei waved his hand, and his face gradually peeled off like a corroded wall, revealing a jade-like face - it was Xu Shanshan!

"You...are you Emperor Yue?"

Prince Shou opened his eyes wide and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

"How is this possible... Where is Nangong Fei? When did you switch him?"

"Why bother about these things that are already in the past?"

Xu Shanshan hooked her fingertips, and the golden thread suddenly tightened. Blood immediately oozed from Prince Shou's wrist. She lowered her eyes and stared, saying lightly: "I originally planned to use a more gentle way to get you to tell me the location of the remaining earth souls and human souls, but it is obvious that you don't even trust Nangong Fei."

Prince Shou was too defensive and would not trust anyone except himself. In that case, she would not resort to any roundabout tactics and directly hold in her hands the thing that mattered most to him - his life.

It depends on whether he wants his life in the end, or the power that he hasn't yet obtained.

"Then what you said before...that Emperor Yue is actually the Grand Master, was it also fabricated?" Prince Shou asked her gloomily.

Xu Shanshan then raised his eyes, looked for a few seconds, and said, "The breeze is blowing gently, and your mind is calm and you will live a long life. Your life is full of ups and downs, and your wisdom is easily broken. You might as well choose the word "longevity" as your title... Do you still remember the fate I gave you?"

Prince Shou was suddenly shocked.

As if his memory was recalling, he followed his brothers to the Holy Mountain Temple to meet the Grand Master.

The man was in the misty clouds, and his body seemed to be shrouded in a soft and holy halo. He and King Jin were like being cast under a spell, and they asked themselves in their hearts: "Are there really gods in this world?"

When I saw her again, her appearance had completely changed, but there was a kind of person who could penetrate her skin and reach her soul and see a sense of familiarity.

The corners of Prince Shou's mouth twitched uncontrollably. He pinched the flesh on the palm of his hand, and a drop of blood fell on the jade pendant on his waist, emitting a dazzling green light.

Nine green-scaled snake shadows sprang out from the pendant, but let out a sharp hissing sound the moment they touched Xu Shanshan's sleeves. The taotie pattern embroidered on the black brocade robe actually opened its bloody mouth and swallowed all the snake shadows.

Prince Shou's face suddenly turned pale.

"With your limited skills, you can't hurt me."

Xu Shanshan stepped forward, pulled off his jade pendant, and then opened her hand, and the heavenly soul in the rosewood screen of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons was sucked back into the jade pendant.

"Lead the way, or be transformed into a human puppet by me. You can choose one."

——The cold wind from the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts blew towards him with a fishy smell. Xu Shanshan stepped on the broken bones on the ground, and the Chiyou Order on his waist emitted a faint green light amidst the resentment.

Prince Shou was forced to lead the way. He said that the remaining "earth soul" and "human soul" were placed in the underground imperial mausoleum built by the previous dynasty.

The imperial tomb of the previous dynasty was known as the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts hundreds of years ago because the last emperor of the previous dynasty was so tyrannical and burying people with him. It was finally the Taoist magician who used the "Nine Yin Locking Dragon Formation" to suppress the resentful aura in the underground palace.

However, this also caused the vengeful spirit to be trapped, unable to reincarnate. Then, the resentment continued to grow for a hundred years...

"Your Majesty is willing to take risks for the sake of the divine fortune teller. It shows that there is a deep bond between master and disciple." Prince Shou sneered sarcastically.

Xu Shanshan replied calmly, "It can't compare to the brotherly love of Prince Shou. Before he died, he resented you deeply."

Prince Shou’s expression froze.

In the dim light, black water surged under the white marble arch bridge. Countless swollen floating corpses slowly raised their heads, with maggots flowing out of their empty eye sockets.

"Master, you'd better be careful under the bridge..." Before Prince Shou finished speaking, Emperor Yue stepped onto the stone steps in his brocade boots embroidered with golden phoenixes.

Floating lanterns lit up as soon as they came into contact with air in the mausoleum. When passing by the arch bridge, the floating corpse in the pool suddenly opened its eyes, and thousands of purple ghost hands broke out of the water!

When Prince Shou saw this, a hint of joy and sinister smile suddenly appeared in his eyes.

When Prince Shou saw this, he took the opportunity to crush the jade talisman in his sleeve and laughed crazily: "Since you guessed that I did it on purpose, but you are still conceited, it's just right that you have fallen into the hell that I built especially for you!"

The blood-colored array pattern suddenly expanded from the bottom of the pool and transformed into the shadow of a nine-headed Xiangliu.

At the same time, thousands of rotten hands suddenly grabbed Xu Shanshan's ankles, immobilizing her and trapping her.

He retreated to the black iron door with Taotie patterns painted on it, and his fingertips quietly brushed across the animal heads on the door knocker: "Also, why don't you guess whether Shi Anran's human soul and earth soul are really here?"

Seeing that he was about to run, Xu Shanshan grabbed the snake's head by the seven inches with his backhand, and Xiangliu's shadow suddenly froze in mid-air.

She used the force to leap onto the central snake head, and lightly tapped her toes. Nine golden lights penetrated into the snake's skull from its top.

"boom!"

The snake heads exploded into blood mist one after another. She calmly watched the back of Prince Shou as he fled in panic. She rolled up the bronze Vermillion Bird lamp on the table with her wide sleeves, and the lamp oil splashed and instantly condensed into ice blades.

The ice spike pierced through Prince Shou's right shoulder and nailed him to the wall. Blood foamed from the corner of his mouth. When the secret door opened with a bang, veins bulged on his neck and he desperately stretched out his hand to take a step.

But the sight is right before our eyes, but this step is far away.

"Uh-"

A scream of unwillingness came from Prince Shou's throat.

"I guess it's there, so now... you can close your eyes in peace."

The red-gold cloud pattern on his forehead illuminated the night sky, a cold light pierced his throat, the Taotie door knocker beast head suddenly turned, and the body of Prince Shou, which had not yet stiffened, slid into the darkness through the crack of the door... Prince Shou died on the road of his political scheming.

-

The secret door opened, and a cold wind from underground blew in with a stale, fishy smell.

Xu Shanshan dragged the corpse of Prince Shou, whose throat was tied with a golden thread, and then walked forward calmly and steadily step by step.

Behind the door is an underground palace. Under the nine jade steps, eighty-one golden nanmu coffins are arranged in the shape of a Big Dipper, and each coffin is wrapped with chains soaked in blood.

In the center of the coffin array, there were two porcelain bottles. She counted with her fingers, and her dark pupils overflowed with golden light. She saw through the essence and found that they were the "earth soul" and "human soul" she was looking for this time. (End of this chapter)
