Chapter 157 The Evil Harem of the Shang Dynasty

August has arrived, and there are already hints of autumn in the wind.

Yang He led the donkey home along the market and greeted each vendor in a familiar manner. The atmosphere of Peibai City had returned to its original ordinary small town.

Even the turmoil caused by the arrival of Fuduan Star has come to an end, and the frequency of strange objects appearing in Jialiang Water Town has become lower and lower.

"Yu Zheng has returned to Yandong, where the Zishi Sect is stationed."

"From the current perspective, Zishijiao should have no doubts."

There are worm eggs in Yu Zheng's body, but Yandong is far away from Jialiang Water Town, and Yang He can only vaguely perceive that the latter is still alive.

At the same time, Chen Qian has also gone to Yandong to expand her business.

Yang He glanced at the fragments of the plaque in the mustard seed space.

If there is no manpower to help search for mundane objects, it will take who knows how many years to complete the Nan Tianmen plaque by myself just waiting.

Yang He's breathing stagnated, and he felt a sudden swelling between his eyebrows.

A look of joy appeared on his face, and his consciousness had turned grey-black, like a cloud of smoke. Only a thin layer of window paper remained through the bottleneck of the Evil Ghost Realm.

The evil ghost realm is also known as the fetus realm. Once you break through, the three souls and seven spirits will unite into one.

After the soul and spirit become one, it is like a fetus growing in the Niwan Palace.

"Promoting to the evil ghost realm must be done in the allusion world. It's almost time to explore the heart-digger ghost. I hope everything goes well."

Yang He was very curious about what the situation was like in Chaoge after the Nuwa Festival. Were there ghosts and spirits everywhere? Were there evil spirits everywhere?
As soon as he got home, he touched the mundane object to summon the panel.

[Vulgar things: Heart is born, heart is born and blood is born]

[Related stories: "Heart-digger", "Blood-pit ghost", whether to consume 10 points of spiritual vision to enter the story world]

"determine."

Yang He hesitated for a few moments and did not take his penis and the black cat with him.

The copper coin sword is still devouring the coupled insect corpses, and the leather Taoist robe is of little significance in changing one's appearance. Anyway, it is my first time playing the heart-digger, and there is a high probability that I will die in a very miserable way.

[Should I consume 8 points of spiritual vision and carry eight big tonic pills?]

You still need the tonic pill. If you can live longer, you can get more clues.

【Please select the role you play in the story】

[Musician (in white): The Taiping Palace is brightly lit every night. You are responsible for playing in the palace at midnight until Concubine Wei falls asleep.]

[Porter (white): Some furniture in Ziming Palace needs to be refurbished. You are asked to move the furniture, but you are told not to look directly at Concubine Zhou. ]

[Guard (green): The harem of the Great Shang is not peaceful at night. You thought you could handle it by honing your body in the army, but after more than ten days, you are still running out of energy.]

[If you do not choose an identity, you will go to the historical site as your real self to play]

"kindness?"

Yang He's eyes lingered on the guards, and he couldn't help but be moved, "Essence deficiency? Is it really something inappropriate for children?"

"But then again, the heart-digger is actually in King Zhou's harem."

Yang He vaguely remembered that after the end of The Ghost in the Stone, the three monsters from Xuanyuan Tomb were taken into the harem, and they have probably been wreaking havoc on the government for some time now.

He swept through the regular characters again.

[Corpse Dao Tong: You have been practicing in Qianyuan Mountain for a long time. You received a request for help from your fellow uncle and planned to go down the mountain to help him escape from Chaoge.]

The uncle master obviously refers to Jiang Ziya. After Taigong encountered setbacks everywhere in Chaoge, he went to Xiqi to fight against the Shang Dynasty.

[Pure Buddha: Who would have thought that Chaoge, where the saints were once worshipped, now has no temples dedicated to them. You are determined to come to the world to let the common people know the saints' grace again.]

[Third Prince: All the fellows from Qianyuan Mountain have already left the mountain one after another. You are no exception and have decided to join your master who works for the Sitianjian in Chaoge.]

[Wen Dao Ren: You have a vague sense of the changes in the great situation of heaven and earth. It just so happens that Chaoge is building the Lutai, and you plan to use the Lutai to see the celestial phenomena.]

"Jiang Ziya is actually an official in Chaoge, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau? I think he is the one who built the Lutai?"

Yang He has no impression of Lu Tai. Putting it in the original work would probably be a waste of money and time, but the plot of the world of allusions is slightly different.

[Do you want to consume 20 points of spiritual vision and pass on the identity of "Guard"?]

"The spiritual vision consumed by the Law of Heaven and Earth is actually ten times that of the other two sects. No matter what, now there is too much spiritual vision to use up."

Including the Wanhua Baigui Hunyuan Sutra, all the three ghost methods are taught.

[Guard (Blue): The harem of the Great Shang is always in turmoil at night. You relied on your training in the army and your three innate magical powers to think you could handle it, but in the end, your essence was still damaged.]

"Choose to play as [Guard]."

"Hurry up!"

.........

It has been more than ten years since the Nuwa Festival.

Chaoge was still prosperous, especially the imperial palace. New palaces were built almost every year, which was said to be to suppress luck.

All I could see were red walls and yellow tiles, and the glazed tiles were shining with golden light under the setting sun, as if the stars and the moon were jumping and sparkling on the tiles.

However, in the dim light, there was a hint of eeriness.

Twenty or thirty guards wearing light armor moved silently through the palace. Every time they arrived at a palace, four of them would stay behind to change shifts with their colleagues.

The guard at the end paused for a moment.

The team's rhythm was disrupted, but no one cared.

The guards had worried looks on their faces and a hint of fear in their eyes, as if they were afraid that the palace would soon be shrouded in darkness.

Yang He's eyes were clear and he quickly adapted to his current body.

He is in his early thirties, with a sturdy build, thick calluses on the palms of his hands, and is strong enough to lift objects weighing four or five hundred kilograms.

"Ah~~"

A wailing sound came from Yang He's heart, and the weak ghost that came with the waiter character turned into ashes, unable to withstand the destruction of the three ghosts at all.

The weak ghost looks like an ape, with its limbs wrapped around its heart.

"Same as the ghost in Li Feng's body."

【Monkey Heart Ghost (Soldier)】

[Once mastered, the Heart Monkey Ghost will become a part of the heart, able to control the Yang energy. During this time, you must always keep your heart beating like a drum.]

Yang He was not interested. The Monkey Ghost and Hungry Ghost sects were similar in that they both acted on the physical body. He only had the Heavenly Law and the Earthly Law, which was enough for him. "The Heavenly Law allows non-resident characters to further improve their cultivation."

[Plague Refiner: Pupil Ghost (Evil Ghost)]

[Alien Corpse: Powerful Ghost (Evil Ghost)]

[Witch: Descendant ghost (evil ghost)]

If the descending ghost's true form was not only at the level of an evil ghost, the three ghosts could all be considered as powerful ghosts.

Yang He naturally didn't need the Heart Monkey Ghost to influence the Yang Fire.

The pupil ghost opened and closed, and the heart monkey ghost was completely destroyed with screams.

"Wha…what's that sound?"

The old guard beside Yang He trembled and subconsciously looked in the direction of the harem.

"Could it be that something happened to one of the concubines in the palace again?"

The leading guard said in a cold voice, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Stop gossiping about the palace, especially the Thirteenth Palace in the Harem that you will be guarding next."

The guards looked pale and their legs felt weak as they walked.

When I stepped into the harem, I didn't see the scene of beautiful girls as I had imagined. Instead, there was lush vegetation and a deserted palace hidden deep inside.

The faint scent of rouge and powder permeated the air.

Yang He narrowed his eyes. There were hundreds of pavilions and towers in the imperial palace. The most important thing for his first role was to figure out the location of each palace.

"The deer platform is near the main hall."

He noticed the initial shape of the Deer Terrace in the distance. It was built on a white marble base according to the distribution of the Eight Diagrams and was extremely luxurious.

In the original work, Lu Tai is somewhat like a watchtower, but its main function is to observe astronomy.

"It shouldn't be difficult to find Jiang Ziya if we go to the area near Lutai during the day."

"Yang He, Zhong Liang, the two of you will guard Baizhen Palace."

Zhong Liang was the old guard beside Yang He. After hearing the captain of the guards' orders, he stumbled towards Baizhen Palace in tears.

At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and only Baizhen Palace was pitch black.

Yang He followed closely and found that the doors and windows of Baizhen Palace were sealed.

"Brother Zhong, do you know what happened in Baizhen Palace?"

Zhong Liang's pupils were dilated, and he kept repeating the word "dead" in his mouth. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "The concubine of Bai Zhen Palace was named Wu. She jumped into a well and hanged herself seven days ago. Her body has not been fished out yet."

He didn't dare leave Baizhen Palace, and used a tinder to light the lanterns in the corridor one by one.

"Brother Zhong, why did Concubine Wu die?"

"How should I know? Haven't there been many concubines who died inexplicably in recent years? The king hasn't investigated it thoroughly, so how can it be our turn?"

"Is tonight the seventh day after Concubine Wu's death?"

The so-called first seven days refers to the seventh day after the death of the deceased. It is said that the soul will return to the world of the living.

Zhong Liang made a gesture to stop talking, "Talk less, and if you doze off, slap yourself a few times. Just hold on until dawn and you'll be safe."

Yang He nodded and absorbed the Yin energy silently.

The abundant yin energy in the world of allusions is nostalgic, and the gods and ghosts absorb it eagerly.

Time passes minute by minute.

Zhong Liang had a tense expression. The trees around him looked rugged and hideous. The cold wind blowing in his face was mixed with an indescribable smell of blood.

He looked back at Baizhen Palace every now and then to make sure there was nothing unusual.

"Brother Zhong."

Yang He's sudden words startled him.

"Didn't I remind you not to talk and be quiet..."

"Brother Zhong, is this the well where Concubine Wu hanged herself?"

Yang He pointed to the southwest and saw a dozen palace maids standing outside the well. It was dark and there were no lights, so he couldn't see them clearly.

"Yes, it is."

The palace maids were wearing makeup to look like dead people and were using buckets to slowly lift the body up.

Whoa whoa whoa.

A baby cried in the well.

"Let's go! We can't stay here!! There are ghosts in this place!!!"

Zhong Liang fled from Baizhen Palace and disappeared into the ferocious bushes.

Yang He did not act rashly. The frequency of the increase in his spiritual vision was still acceptable. It was not because he was greedy for the loss of his essence, but he just wanted to figure out the current situation in the harem.

The corpse was out of the well, its skin and flesh were swollen and it had taken on the appearance of a giant.

But the belly is bulging high.

Yang He saw signs of baby movement in the corpse's belly.

The palace maids carried the corpse step by step towards Baizhen Palace.

pat.

Due to the advanced state of decay, the right leg of the corpse accidentally fell off. A palace maid hurriedly picked it up in panic and sewed the corpse back together with needle and thread.

"The palace maids are all living people, they just wear yin makeup."

"Evil door."

The palace maid removed the sealing paper and placed the body on the bed in the palace.

They ignored Yang He and knelt down on both sides of the bed, their clothes soaked with sweat, and they began to shout continuously.

"Welcome to Queen Daji, welcome to Queen Daji..."

Daji?

When Yang He heard the name of an old acquaintance, he suddenly became alert. After calculating their seniority, he found that Wuque Buddha was actually Daji's senior brother.
