The person these ghosts want to entertain is definitely a human being, and even the food and wine are probably brought by them from the human world.
However, this only made Chen Shaojun more curious.
There is nothing strange about humans and ghosts colluding, and having contact with each other is nothing new, but it depends on the person.
"A ghost princess is presiding over the Qinghuo Cave right now. Who is she, worthy of being entertained by a princess herself?"
Chen Shaojun's mind was full of thoughts:
"More than that, according to previous eavesdropping, they are now preparing for the Hades Festival. The ghost clan attaches great importance to this kind of thing. It is impossible for outsiders to be allowed in this kind of 'sacred' festival. A royal princess would actually do it in such a ceremony."
It is never normal to host a human being at a sensitive time."
At first, Shadow Blade was also evil, but when he met the ghost princess, he was almost killed on the spot.
Because of this, Chen Shaojun felt that this matter was not simple.
Or to be more precise, the person the ghost princess wants to meet is not simple.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Chen Shaojun's pupils shrank suddenly as his eyes glanced at the pot of wine.
The wine pot was all white, with no markings on its appearance, and nothing special about it. However, when Xiao Wu took a drink from the spout, a corner of the originally covered bottom of the pot suddenly appeared, revealing a figure that Chen Shaojun had never seen before.
Unnoticed vermilion sign.
"Taixu Restaurant is from the Shang Dynasty!"
Chen Shaojun grew up in the capital and is very familiar with this symbol of the Shang Dynasty.
Chen Shaojun never expected that the person the royal princess wanted to meet would actually be from the Shang Dynasty!
"Xiaowo, I'll drink the wine later. You take me out first. I want to see who the ghost tribe wants to meet."
Chen Shaojun had a thought in his mind and said immediately.
"ah!"
Xiaowei was stunned.
…
Although she didn't understand why Chen Shaojun was so interested in that group of humans, Xiaowo still instinctively felt something from Chen Shaojun's tone.
In just a moment, Xiaowo and Chen Shaojun quickly left the cave and got out.
The wind howled, but everything on the ground and in the Green Fire Cave was as usual.
Although the appearance did not seem to have changed, Chen Shaojun just glanced around and immediately felt that the security here was much stricter.
"It seems like a big shot is here!"
Chen Shaojun, with hair flying on his temples, looked up at the sky and suddenly said.
The surrounding area of the suspended palace in the sky was originally empty. Except for the patrolling strong men of the ghost clan, there was no one else. However, when Chen Shaojun appeared again and looked there, he clearly saw several ghosts with more than one person appearing on the edge of the hall.
A tall, spotless crane with feathers as white as snow.
This is not something that the ghost tribe can appear.
It seems that these cranes have been there for a while, and they are combing their feathers one after another.
"Looks like they've been here for a while."
Chen Shaojun secretly thought in his heart that it was obvious that the other party had now entered the suspended palace.
Chen Shaojun quickly looked around and frowned. The ghost clan was heavily guarded and it was not easy to sneak into them.
Moreover, although Chen Shaojun can change the breath in his body at will, this ability is easy to use in the human world, but in the realm of ghosts, unless Chen Shaojun completely transforms into a ghost, it will be easily recognized by others.
"Not only that, it's even more difficult to enter that suspended hall."
Chen Shaojun said secretly.
Although flying magic weapons are not too rare in the sect world, they are not that easy to obtain. In the past, Chen Shaojun relied on his Beidou Golden Light Zong and Xiaowo's earth-escape skills to achieve success, but he really didn't make any mistakes in flying magic weapons.
It takes effort.
Moreover, although Chen Shaojun knew some refining techniques for flying magic weapons and could refine them, it was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw. Firstly, she had no materials. Secondly, it would take a long time and she might not be able to make it in time.
"Buzz!"
While he was meditating, a sound of steel rubbing against the ground suddenly came from the sky. The sound was so loud that it shook in all directions.
"Princess, please!"
A young voice came from the sky, it sounded quite majestic, and there was a strong flavor of power in the voice.
"They're coming out, boy, let's hide."
Small wormhole.
The two of them shrank behind the tall cypress tree and sank into the ground, with only a portion of their heads exposed. They stared intently at the sky, holding their breath and concentrating.
"Da da!"
Chen Shaojun and Xiaowo didn't wait long. Soon, a burst of heavy footsteps came clearly from above. At the same time, the voice of the ghost princess Zhao Qingluo rang between heaven and earth. Her voice was clear and clear, and she used correct words and accents.
human language:
"Young prince, you're welcome, please come this way!"
"Little prince?"
The one who colluded with the ghost princess turned out to be the royal family of the Shang Dynasty?
Chen Shaojun never expected that the ghost princess would be receiving the extremely noble Dashang royal family!
Huh, the air flow surged, and the footsteps kept approaching. In just a few breaths, in the eyes of Chen Shaojun and Xiaowo, several tall figures slowly appeared and walked to the edge of the suspended palace.
The figure on the right has a slim figure and a cold and arrogant temperament. It is Zhao Qingluo, the princess of the ghost tribe. The person on her left is about twenty-one or twelve years old. He wears a purple gold crown and a cloud-patterned robe. He has his hands behind his back and a pair of
His eyes were majestic and stern, but when he opened and closed them, he gave people the feeling that he was plotting something from time to time.
"this person……"
Chen Shaojun squinted his eyes slightly and looked up at the sky, feeling that the "little prince" in the sky looked vaguely familiar.
Chen Shaojun is a son of an official and a member of the civil service lineage. He knows very little about the higher-level royal family. However, he has lived in the capital for so long that even if he has never seen them, he has heard rumors about them.
It was just that time was short, the distance was too far, and there were some guards and buildings blocking it, making it difficult to see clearly. Chen Shaojun couldn't remember it for a while.
But no matter what, it is unusual for a royal descendant of the Great Shang Dynasty and the ghost royal family to secretly meet here. The most important thing is——
"What are the two of them planning?"
Chen Shaojun murmured to himself.
However, before he had time to think about it, the two people spoke again in the sky.
"Fire trees, silver flowers, mist like the sea, it is said that the land of the ghost clan is desolate, but I never imagined that there is such a scene. By the way, Your Highness, no accidents have happened during this time, right?"
The young prince looked down and said.
The ghost princess Zhao Qingluo appeared to be normal, but Chen Shaojun clearly felt her aura fluctuate slightly.
"Young Master, can't you trust us?"
The ghost princess asked:
"With me presiding over it personally, isn't it enough to show our sincerity and emphasis on cooperation? The young prince said this, but I am a little unhappy."
At the end of the sentence, Zhao Qingluo shook her sleeves slightly, looking rude.
"Haha, somewhere, the princess misunderstood, I just said it casually, it would be fine if I didn't. With the princess here, and the security here is so tight, I still can't trust your highness."
In the sky, the young prince just smiled and soon relaxed the atmosphere between the two.
Phew!
At this time, a sharp and long chirping sound came, and soon a huge strange bird with two sides completely black, resembling a phoenix but not a phoenix, with a wingspan of four to five feet flew over. The young prince and the ghost princess Zhao Qingluo looked as usual.
With just one step, he landed on the backs of two strange birds. The two strange birds chirped, spread their wings, turned into two streaks of light, and flew down from the sky.
"Be careful, they are coming towards us."
Xiaowo let out a low cry, and hurriedly hid with Chen Shaojun and dived deeper.
And soon, the two of them landed on the ground not far from Chen Shaojun and Xiaowo, but neither the young prince nor the ghost princess, their attention was in the direction of Yanmu and Chen Shaojun, but looked at the direction at the same time.
A tall altar to Hades.
"How long until the ceremony starts?"
The young prince put his hands behind his back and suddenly said.
"It's almost time. It will officially start in about three days."
"So long? Can't it be done earlier?"
The young prince frowned slightly.
"We have tried our best. The sacrifice of Hades is not something we can control. Everything must be obeyed by the oracle of Hades. The young prince should understand this."
Zhao Qingluo said calmly.
The young prince remained silent, obviously unwilling, but in the end he had no choice but to accept it.
"Well, this is not the first time we have cooperated. I believe you."
"But there is one thing that I care about very much. In the past few times of cooperation, the quality of the things we harvested was too poor, and it was difficult to satisfy me. This time, I hope to get something with better quality and more power."
"The young prince is in a hurry?"
At this moment, the ghost princess on the side spoke.
"The young prince should be clear about the matter of sacrifice. We can only do it step by step and step by step. To achieve the final desired effect, it will definitely take time. Moreover, the harvest from these rituals is obviously much better than before."
"Damn it, what are these guys talking about?"
Xiaowei couldn't help shouting. He listened for a long time but didn't hear anything. What they said was either "this thing" or "that thing", which made people confused and had no idea what they were talking about.
"Don't worry, listen carefully."
Chen Shaojun said softly.
At this moment, Zhao Qingluo's voice came into my ears again:
"But having said that, although the thing I gave to the young prince last time was not very good, it was not bad either. It should be enough to help you consolidate your position in the capital. And isn't the prince of Dashang already seriously ill in bed according to your plan?
?Judging from the time, he should be dead, right? Why is the young prince still so anxious?"
Buzz!
A stone stirred up thousands of waves, and Xiao Whao on the side didn't feel anything yet, with his eyes wide open and a look of confusion on his face, but Chen Shaojun's heart suddenly stirred up thousands of waves.
What on earth is going on? Wasn't the Crown Prince's matter caused by several princes' struggle for power? It's a typical prince's struggle, and what does it have to do with these people?
Could it be that there is any secret in this matter?
