Chapter 1503 Ninth Day Flag Festival
Could it be that Su Wu and Di Xin had the same reason for being 'disrespectful to heaven', so they were seen to show 'unhealthy spirit' in their bodies?
Or is it because of other reasons, or is it just a case of simply ‘taking a blind eye’?
Everything is still unknown.
Su Wu needs to see Di Xin in person before he can verify this.
"Because you saw the evil spirit in the king, you felt that he was in a quagmire and needed help from others?" Su Wu gathered his thoughts and asked Sui again.
Sui nodded heavily: "The king is still the king before!
But with the evil spirit in him, he was different from before.
I think that the reason why the king has the evil spirit is because the Nuo master around him - since the priest Daji entered the palace, he has disturbed the palace day and night. It was used by Daji.
In the altar of the palace, mountains of corpses were piled up!
It's all because of this temptress!
If you kill Daji..."
"The king himself is stupid and immoral, how can he put all the blame on a priest who is only responsible for sacrifices?" Qu couldn't bear to listen to Sui Sui's words, feeling that Sui's every word was pointing at him, so he opened his mouth to retort, "If The king forbids that Daji to perform sacrifices, does she still dare to disobey the king's order? "
"Daji is a person of unknown origin!"
Sui hurriedly retorted: "Maybe she's not even human!
Some other soldiers in the palace said that they saw nine tails growing out of Daji's back in the dark night!
I’ve seen it vaguely too! "
"Daji is indeed extraordinary." Su Wu spoke at this time, but as soon as he spoke, he became quiet. He continued, "However, the matter of 'Zhou Qi' is not necessarily related to Daji.
All in all, this matter needs to be considered in the long term.
Just go back to the palace and send a message.
Tell the king that I am willing to meet him.
Many matters can only be determined after I meet him. Maybe the current situation of King Shang is not as bad as you think. "
"Absolutely not!
The palace is full of dangers, and Emperor Xin may want to kill you now - you are the person who is the incarnation of the Emperor of Heaven!
You go to the palace to meet him at this time——" Qu looked serious, and after Su Wu finished speaking, he immediately responded sternly.
Su Wu smiled and said: "I have a sense of discretion about this, so there is no need to worry. Moreover, when I meet King Shang, I may not necessarily be in the palace."
Then he hesitated and said: "You, do you really want to meet the king?"
"Um.
Just go and spread the word. " Su Wu said.
"Okay!" Suddenly there was light in his eyes, he nodded heavily, turned around and walked into the darkness, heading straight to the palace to deliver the message.
Seeing this, he was helpless, but he still shouted and stopped Sui first: "Go to the palace to send a message. There are fine wines to taste and spacious palaces to rest in.
Are we going to leave my master and me like this in the cold and dry city of Yin, and have to endure a hard night under this city gate? ! "
"No, no!" Sui looked ashamed, turned to look at Su Wu, and said repeatedly, "Your Majesty released my family and returned my house!
Master, please come with me to my house to rest temporarily.
Wait until I get back from sending a message to the king! "
As he spoke, Sui stretched out his hand to hold Qu, leading Su Wu towards his house. As for Sui's house, his parents and relatives had indeed been released by the king.
Sui couldn't care about anything else at this time. After settling Su Wu and Qu in the courtyard, he hurried to the palace without even having time to say hello to his parents and relatives.
…
at night.
Su Wu stood in the master's room of Suijia.
There was a pottery bean placed on the table in the house. The pottery bean was filled with grease. A small flame floated on the grease, burning out blue and black smoke.
He stood at the door of the house and looked at the darkness outside the house and courtyard.
Night lighting is still an extremely luxurious thing for ordinary people in today's Shang Dynasty. They can only use torches, lit pyres and other methods to illuminate, and neither torches nor fires can sustain long-term burning, so today Yindu, which was already a big city at that time, was full of darkness. Only the palace in the distance shone in the dark night.
And even a small noble like Ru Sui, who was once close to the King of Shang, could only afford one pottery bean at home.
It is not difficult to make pottery beans. The difficulty is that the oil contained in them and used for lighting is too precious.
Su Wu stood silently at the door for a while, then turned and walked into the room, blowing out the pottery beans on the table.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes shining in the darkness.
"The Blood of the Old Beginning..." Su Wu spread his palms in front of his eyes. In the grooves of his palms, blood vessels appeared from scratch and protruded from his palms.
Those blood vessels were beating slightly, and in an instant they were winding around his arms, shoulders, and all over his body!
The blood of the old founder spilled from the temple of the old founder flows in the blood vessels covering all parts of his body!
The aura of antiquity, origin, and vicissitudes of life emanated from Su Wu.
He opened his chest and saw the lungs covered with blood vessels in his chest. The blood of Gu Shi filled them, causing the whole lungs to absorb the aura that was free from this world of cause and effect, which could lead to Su Wu. For his own use, Su Wu was infiltrated by such aura, and everything about him became hazy and full of unknowns.
Looking at the slowly shrinking lungs in his chest, Su Wu's thoughts were racing.
The blood of Gushi flowing from the Gushi Temple also blended with the death and strange rhymes of the many terrifying existences. They flowed together in the blood vessels covering Su Wu's body, and at the same time spread in the causal world woven by Xianger where he was currently, leaving a deep imprint everywhere in this causal world.
The changes of King Wen of Zhou's Yi Dao, King Zhou of Shang's method of changing the world and changing fate, and the way of avoiding the number of days, etc., which flowed in the blood of Gushi, actively blended with the death and strange rhymes of the terrifying existences, just to contain the many terrifying existences, buy time for Su Wu, so that he could turn the situation around as soon as possible, and use the death and aura left by the terrifying existences to pull the various horrors outside the game into the current game!
In order to wake up Su Wu who was trapped in the game, the fisherman sent his own lungs, and King Wen of Zhou left a projection, teaching him the "Twenty-four Hexagrams of Yi Dao Changes"!
Next, he needs to take the initiative to find the various causes and effects of the aura left by those terrifying beings, and drag them all down!
The world of cause and effect is a puzzle set by Xianger for Su Wu, to imprison him, so that he has no way to resist the extraction of his internal organs and all his origins.
But isn't it the only chance Su Wu can seize now?
Many terrifying beings may have taken a fancy to a part of Su Wu, but Xianger wants to take away all of Su Wu!
Now it needs to compete with those terrifying beings and entangle each other to see if it can finally get what it wants.
Su Wu closed his chest, and the blood vessels entangled in his body disappeared one after another.
Following the guidance of the blood of the beginning, he was able to find the remaining death aura left by the terrifying beings.
…
The darkness engulfed the low houses on the ground. Even the braziers and torches lit in the Shang Palace trembled in the thick darkness. The weak flames could be extinguished by the darkness at any time.
Sui walked in this dark world, watching the flames on the palace wall getting closer and closer to him. The corner gate of the palace was slightly open in the shadow of the flames.
"Sui!"
He heard someone calling his name in a low voice, so he stopped in front of the palace gate and turned to look for the voice calling him.
He walked out of the shadows wearing armor and holding a torch. He looked at Sui near the corner gate of the palace, his expression was nervous, and the smell of alcohol on his body had long disappeared: "Why are you here again, Sui?"
"I have something important to report to the king!" Sui said with a firm look in his eyes.
"It's dark now, the king has rested, Sui...
You should go back first, and report to the king when it's daybreak..." He said to Sui with a evasive look. As he spoke, he blocked the corner door behind him with his body to prevent Sui from suddenly breaking into the corner door.
Sui frowned when he heard the voice.
He felt that the palace in the dark was a little strange.
An inexplicable and weird atmosphere enveloped the palace of Dashang, and even the soldiers guarding the palace seemed weird.
"When I was on duty in the palace, the king worked hard to govern the country. Even if the grease in the pottery on the table burned out three times, he would not stop reading the tortoise shells sent from all over the world!
Now it's only been a few days, and the king has changed so much?
It hasn't been long since it got dark, and he has already rested? I don't believe it!
He, you have to tell the truth!" Sui stared at He closely, trying to dig out more useful clues from He's evasive eyes.
He met his gaze and sighed softly: "When the sun sets, the palace will not only belong to the king. We, the soldiers, are just gatekeepers. We have to obey the orders of whoever gives us food.
While it is not too dark now... go back, Sui.
Otherwise, I will not give you good advice in a while - in a while, you may not see me again."
He's words hinted at something.
Sui did not force it. He sighed and nodded, turned and walked into the darkness.
Watching Sui's figure disappear into the depths of darkness, He stood there quietly for a while, then held the torch and walked into the shadows.
The firelight that should have dispelled the darkness, along with He's figure, disappeared into the shadows and disappeared in a moment.
—— Sui, who was hiding behind a residential building, was shocked by the scene. He took a deep breath, then bent his body, took the opportunity to step out, and rushed to the corner gate with a dark outline reflected by the fire!
The sound of the wind whistled past his ears!
Sui even heard the sound of armor leaves colliding in the wind!
After his figure rushed into the corner gate in an instant, a shrill roar that was not like a human roar sounded behind him, and the voice screamed his name: "Sui, Sui——"
His heart was pounding, and he turned his head to see a "ape" as tall as himself crowding in from outside the corner gate. It roared Sui's name, and its figure was covered by dense pale hair!
Under the thick hair, Sui could vaguely see the outline of He's face!
At this moment, Sui understood what He had said before, that in a while, he might not see He again. What did this mean!
He turned into a monster that looked like an ape!
The hairs penetrated deeply into He's blood vessels, and even into his soul and essence, causing his body to swell and become like an ape.
There was a violent and fierce light flashing in his eyes. Seeing Sui's speed slowing down, he suddenly stretched out his arms to "hold" Sui's body - if he was held in his arms, Sui's bones and muscles would be broken on the spot and turned into a ball of rotten meat!
Huh!
The ten-foot-tall "ape" swept his arms quickly, and the hair on his arms fluttered in the wind. A series of unclear wailing and mumbling sounds were transmitted into Sui's ears along with the thick hair!
Hearing the mumbling sounds, Sui's mind began to become dazed. In his body, in the center of his flesh, blood and spirit, his "root" that was still able to maintain a human shape and like a human shadow suddenly grew wisps of thick hair all over his body!
If someone could observe Sui's Yuangen at this time, they would find that the dense hair growing on his Yuangen was clearly a very thin human figure with its hands and feet restrained. His body was covered with such 'human figures', who struggled hard and tried to tear Sui's Yuangen, which they were parasitizing, into pieces!
Buzz!
At this moment, layers of scarlet threads snaked out from the center of Sui's Yuangen, and instantly spread to Sui's whole body. At the same time, clusters of purple-gold blood vessels protruded from Sui's Yuangen. The purple-gold aura flowed in the blood vessels, and suddenly painted on those slender human figures, burning them into nothingness!
A flag was erected behind Sui!
Under the flag that soared into the sky, nine suns were hanging!
Boom boom boom!
Nine colorful suns emitting various auras filled the sky above the palace, tearing apart the darkness that covered the palace. The colorful light and the darkness that permeated the sky fought against each other, and the true form of the darkness was reflected - it was clearly a large area of hair formed by a series of slender human figures!
All the hair floated down from the sky and gathered somewhere deep in the palace!
And with the raised flag, Su Wu's eyes gradually grew on the nine suns that fell down. His eyes swept across the dark hair that spread all over the sky. Those hairs formed by the slender human figures suddenly turned into colorful colors and were infected by his aura!
Swish!
The rolling darkness and the hair of the endless human figures curled up and gathered somewhere deep in the palace!
The next moment, the sky returned to darkness, and the banner with nine colorful suns disappeared. In front of Sui, He, who had turned into a big ape, was still standing, baring his teeth and glaring at him, but he didn't dare to get closer to him.
"Okay, retreat."
At this time, a clear and pleasant female voice came into Sui's ears.
