Chapter 129 Half-man, half-ghost
The seven people took the lead and found a few lanterns in the harem. After lighting them up, they started searching. The harem was very large, and there were more than a hundred palaces.
In such a large harem, there was no dust on the ground. The things inside the bedrooms that had been abandoned for a long time were intact. After thousands of years, the things here were spotless, just like the bathhouse just now, and it seemed that people were always maintaining them.
This made the seven people strange, and at the same time they felt a little scared, especially since they had heard many legends about the harem, and they all became even more scared.
After walking for more than two hours, most of the harem had many good things in the palace, but Roland found that these people came for money, but no one took the valuable things here, which made her feel strange. It seemed that these seven people did not say that they came here to make a fortune.
When you arrive at a larger palace in the harem, the hall here is extremely luxurious. Compared with other palaces, it is obviously much more luxurious. There are also golden phoenix reliefs on the ceiling, which are made of pure gold carvings and gems inlaid on the eyes. It can be said that it is extremely luxurious.
But seeing these valuable things, none of the seven people who came in showed a greedy expression, but instead became respectful and fearful.
Seeing their expressions, Roland was completely sure that he and the seven people came for him and deliberately brought him here.
Suddenly, the wooden door behind him closed automatically, and then all the lights in the palace were lit up, but the candlelight was blue, which was indescribable.
Then, two rows of exquisitely dressed and beautiful palace maids walked out from behind the screens on both sides, each standing on both sides of the hall with a green candlelight lantern.
The last three more luxuriously dressed women came in. The man in the middle was dressed in gold, and the wind patterns on it also showed the woman's dignity.
The women on both sides were wearing red and the other in blue clothes, namely the Fire Phoenix Picture and the Qingluan Picture.
The three of them walked to the chair in the middle and sat down. The women on both sides saluted immediately and shouted in unison: "See the Queen."
Roland was surprised that these people were all soul bodies, and they had already seen this when they appeared. But these people had the aura of a stranger. Although they were weak, as snake gods, their perceptions in this aspect were very keen.
"You seven are doing well, go down and receive the reward." The queen said calmly.
The seven people were happy, nodded and bowed, following the two palace maids.
Roland looked at the three of them and said, "Queen! It's neither human nor ghost, this is novel."
"Your Excellency is not much worse, half a man and half a snake, and you steal our treasure, the Soul-Turning Pearl. Now you hand it over it yourself, or we will do it." The queen's tone was calm, but her expression was unquestionable, and it was a completely commanding tone.
Roland was surprised. Judging from the expressions of these people, he probably didn't lie, which means that Zhao Huanyu's soul-turning bead was taken away from here.
"It seems that this underground imperial city is not the disappearance of the country, but you are deliberately hiding underground? Is it because the Soul-Turning Pearl allows you to maintain a half-human and half-ghost state? However, the Soul-Turning Pearl has been taken away by Zhao Huanyu for more than two hundred years. If you rely on the Soul-Turning Pearl, you will definitely have problems. Do you still have the Soul-Turning Pearl?" Roland asked curiously.
"Hmph, you are smart. The Ai family has limited time and don't have time to play tricks with you. Don't expect the Red Dragon King outside to help you. This guy has been fighting with the centipede in the back garden for hundreds of years. The Ai family has known what he has.
It is powerful to the living people, and the army cannot do anything to them, but for ghosts, no matter how strong the Red Dragon King is, it cannot do anything to us. Instead, it cannot protect its own life. If you hand over the Soul-Turning Pearl, the Ai family will be extra merciful, so that you can stay here forever and be our gatekeeper snake demon." The queen had already shown an impatient tone.
"You are in a hurry. It seems that there is no Soul-Turning Pearl. You can't maintain this state for a long time? So are you anxious?" Roland deliberately used words to stimulate him, trying to get some information out of it.
"Take it off for me." The queen was furious and pointed at Roland and shouted.
Roland smiled. The queen was either not very cunning, or in this state, her three souls and seven spirits were already incomplete and her mind was weakened. Otherwise, she would not have been able to get such important information in just a few words.
The palace maids rushed up immediately. They were soul bodies. Ordinary martial arts were ineffective against them, and physical attacks were completely ineffective. However, they could attack the souls of living people and pull out the souls.
So no matter how strong a master of the martial arts world is, it is no different from ordinary people in front of them. However, if a master of the martial arts world has high light skills, it will be more troublesome to catch them.
The queen was excited and couldn't help but feel a little excited. The soul-turning bead quickly returned to her hands. Suddenly, the palace maids screamed, and then their souls were destroyed.
Seeing the rune light coming out of the Loulan Soul-Slaying Sword in Roland's hand, the queen and the imperial concubine's face changed drastically, and they hurriedly retreated back and disappeared. The other palace maids also blinked back to the ground and disappeared.
She opened the door and saw that the Red Dragon King who was guarding outside was already asleep on the ground. Because she was huge, she could not enter, so she could only stay outside.
She went over and saw that the Red Dragon King was just asleep, guessing that she might be hypnotized by something. Anyway, it might not be able to help, so she let it sleep here and chased it over and find the secrets here.
When I returned to the palace, there was a door behind the screen. After entering, I soon saw the bedroom. Everything was neatly arranged and there was no other way.
From what I just found out, these people are definitely not ghosts, but use the Soul-Turning Bead to make their souls escape from their bodies. As for how to do it and survive for so many years, I don’t know.
Although these people are soul bodies and can pass through the walls freely and have no doors or something, the first time they enter, they must have physical bodies, so there must be secret doors or something.
He knocked on the floor and walls here, and carefully looked at any place that might be a secret door, but found no problems. He had no choice but to go to other places to look for it.
When he walked to the palace next to him, he found the seven people, all lying on the ground, their clothes had been taken off, and they died with joy.
But his body was skinny and stiff, and he died of energy after being sucked away. Roland ignored these people anymore, and was obviously tempted by the palace maids here.
After searching here, I didn’t find anything. Suddenly I remembered that the seven people said that there was a golden and white jade coffin in the main hall, which could still shine.
She gave up looking for other palaces and went straight to the main hall, which was the emperor's bedroom. After searching for a while, she didn't mention anything about the golden and white jade coffin. Instead, the decoration here was relatively simple and there was no precious thing to decorate.
This made him wonder, and felt that it was a bit in line with the emperor's bedroom, but she was not an expert in finding an expert in the government. It was too late to find an entrance and exit of such a large harem.
Back to the Red Dragon King, he woke up the guy with cold water.
The Red Dragon King woke up and showed a fierce look. After seeing that it was Roland, he immediately became like a pet, and rubbed her obediently a few times.
"King of Red Dragon, there may be holes below here. Do you know where?" Roland asked.
The Red Dragon King tilted his head, and after a while, he seemed to think of something, and immediately crawled into the back garden. Roland hurriedly followed.
Stopped by a pond in the back garden. There was a large rockery in the middle of the pond with many holes on it, and the bottom hole was very large.
The Red Dragon King hissed a few times, and Roland showed joy and cursed himself as if he was too stupid. A powerful centipede dragon appeared in the back garden of the palace. It must have been deliberately placed by the royal family here to guard the entrance.
Thinking of this, she immediately swam over, and the Red Dragon King followed. The entrance of the cave was very large and it was the nest of the centipede dragon. Usually, the centipede dragon rests below.
With centipede dragon guarding it, it is impossible for others to come in here. Centipede dragons are not something that those experts in the martial arts world can deal with, so naturally there is no accident here.
The people who designed this place at the beginning never expected that the centipede would be killed.
