It was as if a door of darkness had been opened.
There was no light, no sound, and even the faint smell of rust and decay had disappeared.
In the endless darkness, there was only one person.
Yan Li began to miss the clamor. If there was someone chattering beside his ear, how happy would that be?
But there was none.
He could even feel that the insect had already burrowed into his brain. It was like an uncivilized barbarian, as soon as it caught its prey, it couldn't wait to rip open its stomach and eat it raw, not at all particular.
Insect, insect, you should be more particular, at least roast it before eating it. Even if you are a monster, you should at least be a monster with taste, right?
At this moment, Yan Li did not know why he was praying like this. It could be seen that he had developed a yearning for life.
How many people in this world didn't care about their lives?
In the endless darkness, although it was quiet, there would occasionally be the desire to speak.
In this world, how many people cultivated silent meditation? As long as one was not mute, one would always want to speak, because speaking was a form of expression, expressing one's view of the world, expressing one's emotions, expressing one's preferences.
Speaking was a form of communication.
In this darkness, there was no one to communicate with.
… …
In the chaotic world.
As mentioned before, the green lotus bud had barely bloomed a little.
At this critical moment, it once again bloomed a little, and green light uncontrollably shot out, passing through the passage of nothingness and protecting the entire brain.
Tens of thousands of miles away, Shen Liuyun, who was bringing Fu 'er to seek medical treatment, suddenly discovered that the green lotus lamp had once again lit up on its own.
The insect opened its mouth, wanting to bite, but when it bit down on the green light, a row of teeth in its mouth broke, causing it to squeak in pain.
It squeaked and twisted, causing Yan Li's head to be in so much pain that it almost split open. How could this pain be normal? Even with his tenacious nerves, he immediately let out a blood-curdling scream.
He blamed all of this on the Lone Eagle.
Yan Li had never hated a person as much as he did at that moment, except for the fact that he was his sworn enemy. He wanted to peel off his skin, cut off his bones, pull out his tendons, and make him suffer for three days and three nights before he died slowly!
For a very long time.
It had been so long that Yan Li was almost numb to it.
As we all know, painful times are the hardest.
Perhaps it was only a few breaths of time, but it felt as long as a few centuries.
Of course, it was indeed more than a few breaths. If Yan Li still had the spare energy to care about the passage of time, he would find that about a quarter of an hour had passed.
The insect suddenly inhaled a mouthful of green light inadvertently. Its scarlet red head became lighter, and then it was no longer as manic as before. It seemed that its pain had lessened as well. Then, like a tired baby, it gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Yan Li's pain was naturally alleviated, but his whole body was already drenched in sweat. He had no idea what was going on. He couldn't even make a guess.
The pain was alleviated, but the haze in his heart did not lighten.
Was there an insect sleeping in his head?
Anyone who had tasted this would know.
Fortunately, he was not dead yet.
Unfortunately, as long as he could not escape the Lone Eagle's palm, he would die sooner or later.
His body could not move, his zhenqi could not be used, and the curse could not be released.
Who could find this place?
Suddenly, the sound of a door opening came from the darkness.
It must be an auditory hallucination!
He realized that he was extremely tired, so tired that he would fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
Then he closed his eyes.
At this moment, he might not be able to dream of escape, but he could recover his spirit and fight against the next round of persecution.
In any case, he did not give up.
But the sound of the door opening was not an auditory hallucination.
Just below Yan Li's eyes, a door suddenly opened. The space in the hidden compartment was very limited. Two feet below it was all mud, so there could not be a door.
But this door was open, and it emitted a warm light, as well as a faint fragrance.
The warm light was like the incense lamp commonly used by ladies of noble families. The faint fragrance was also like the boudoir of a noble family.
If Yan Li was awake at this moment, he would definitely not believe what was happening in front of him. It was as if a door leading to the Peach Blossom Spring had suddenly opened in the void. As long as he passed through this door, he could escape from this damned place.
Unfortunately, he actually fell asleep.
At such a crucial moment, he actually fell asleep.
"He actually fell asleep and even started snoring. How thick of a nerve does he have!" A clear voice came from the other side of the door, expressing great astonishment.
"Interesting." Another delicate and soft voice said softly.
"Big sister, move aside. I'll save him!" A rough but sharp voice that sounded extremely awkward said. Then a fat woman came out of the door and used her "thick" arms to quickly remove the device that bound Yan Li. Then, with a face full of enjoyment, she hugged the falling Yan Li.
"Handsome young master, you have finally fallen into the hands of I, Huang Ahua."
She let out a "coquettish laugh" and carried Yan Li through the door.
In the next moment, the door disappeared without a trace. However, the device that bound Yan Li was already empty.
On the other side of the secret compartment, Lone Eagle expressionlessly tidied up his clothes that had been messed up by Ji Hyun-woon. "When I obtain the ultimate technique and break through to the seventh realm, I will first attack your Hatred Parting Palace!"
He walked over, locked the door of this extremely deep dungeon, and then turned back, walking to the mechanism and pressing it.
The secret compartment slowly flipped over. He turned back to look and his face instantly turned green.
…
The next day.
Tian Jing was suddenly shocked by an explosive rumor. It spread like wildfire through the streets and alleys.
Almost every time they met someone they knew, the first topic of discussion would be this rumor.
"Have you heard? The Dual Instruments Administration is going to rearrange the Soaring Dragon List."
This sentence spread like wildfire throughout Tian Jing. It replaced greetings such as "Have you eaten?" and "Today's weather is good" at the speed of a plague. It became the newest buzzword in the capital.
This rumor spread at the fastest speed in history and was confirmed at an unprecedented speed.
Before noon, the Dual Instruments Administration announced that the list would be reissued at dusk. The new list had already been brought to the palace and handed over to the Emperor for a second review.
…
The Second Prince's residence.
This was a unique secret room.
How unique was it? It used the method of hanging a painting. The four walls were filled with women's undergarments. It could be seen that these undergarments were made of very fine materials and were well-cut. They must have been made by a master craftsman.
However, the problem was not the craftsmanship, but the fact that these undergarments had been there since young.
Ji Wuyu lay sprawled out in the middle of the room. His face was filled with a morbid sense of satisfaction. No one knew what he was thinking about. He even stretched his hand to his lower body. His breathing gradually became heavier.
"Little Nine … Second Brother dotes on you …"
Just as he was muttering to himself, a crisp "ding dang dang dang" sound woke him up. He sat up abruptly and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw that the bell hanging down from the beam was being pulled by someone outside.
He remembered that he had warned him to ring this bell if there was anything important.
He sighed. He knew that this was a secret that absolutely could not be discovered, so he had always been very careful.
Straightening his clothes, he walked out of the secret room and solemnly closed the door before leaving.
When he came to the back garden and saw Li Yong standing there respectfully, he smiled. "You are called Li Yong, correct?"
Li Yong hurriedly turned around and cupped his hands. "This lowly servant Li Yong pays his respects to Your Highness, the Second Prince!"
"There is no need to be so restrained here," Ji Wuyu said with a smile. "If this was a very formal meeting, I would not have chosen this place. Sit down and speak. What business do you have with this prince? "
Li Yong did not sit. He pretended to hesitate, then said, "Your Highness, you still don't know about that matter?"
"I have been busy cultivating the entire morning." Ji Wuyu's eyes flashed.
"The Dual Ceremonial Administration has rearranged the Soaring Dragon List. It has already been sent to the palace for review," Li Yong said.
Ji Wuyu said indifferently, "How did this happen?"
"The two priests announced to the public," Li Yong said, "that they want to give the unaffiliated people a chance, so they amended the rule that dead people can be placed on the list. From now on, as long as an examinee accidentally dies, the person behind will be automatically replaced."
"That is also fine." Ji Wuyu suddenly smiled. "The person we are dealing with, even if not dead, is now crippled. I believe that the Lone Eagle is still a capable person."
"Yan Li has escaped …" After Li Yong finished speaking, he quietly observed Ji Wuyu's expression. The latter's expression changed slightly, and his eyes narrowed slightly. It was just these two actions, but there was no change in his expression. It showed that he was extremely shrewd.
Li Yong was even more in awe of him. He slightly lowered his head. "Young Master Wei went to plead with His Majesty. It is said that a special pardon has been issued. There is no reason to capture him anymore."
"It seems that I overestimated the Lone Eagle," Ji Wuyu said indifferently.
Li Yong respectfully stood to the side, not daring to speak.
"Alright, go back and tell the Lone Eagle. Let him do as he sees fit," Ji Wuyu said.
…
Yan Li slowly opened his eyes. He felt that he was lying on a very comfortable bed, surrounded by an indescribable fragrance.
This should be a woman's boudoir. Did he dream of a kite?
As he secretly guessed, the dull pain in his head made him realize that this was not a dream at all.
Escaped from that damn place?
His heart churned slightly, and he heard a voice say, "Gongzi is awake? Come and drink it. This is the swallow's nest that I specially made for you. "
The voice was rough, but it had to be sharpened. It sounded disgusting and terrifying.
Yan Li subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice, only to see the fat landlady's round face covered in foundation, smiling as she approached him. He only felt that it was difficult to control his breathing. He did not even make a sound before falling asleep again.
