Chapter 95: King of Jin (VI)

Waves were rushing towards the seaside. On the golden sand beach with blue sea and green trees, a red carriage was parked. Behind the rock wall, the carriage was guarded by a dozen elite warriors.

"How's the situation at Ya Customs?"

The people in the car asked in their spare time.

Next to the warrior, a man in strange clothes twisted his body and walked forward. He looked like a man, but his waist was like a woman. He smiled and said, "Emperor Jin, don't worry. With me here, everything will be fine."

His voice is not as deep as a man's, but not as soft as a woman's either. It is more neutral.

"Yes, compared with the evil master, Mr. Meihua is indeed more reliable and efficient in his work." said the Emperor of Jin.

Although the Emperor of Jin verbally flattered these evil Taoists, he was actually very resistant to this kind of mystics in his heart. If he didn't need their help to accomplish great things, he would never let these people live.

Mr. Meihua covered his mouth and laughed sweetly when he heard this: "With my poisonous bees and the knife-twisting bandits, no matter how powerful Wei Canghao is, he will die in this cliff customs that he carefully arranged."

The Jin Emperor obviously had confidence in the abilities of this Mr. Plum Blossom. He said, "Who does Wei Canghao think I am? Is I someone he can threaten at will? I'm afraid he doesn't know that we have already figured out his ambush location. He thinks that if his men land on the cliffs and climb over the dangerous places to the city gates, they can catch us all in one fell swoop? He doesn't know that I am the one holding the chess pieces."

"Of course. Now Emperor Jin just needs to wait quietly. Good news will come from there soon."

The sunshine on the coast shines on the fine sand, like golden silk spread out, warm and dazzling.

An unexpected woman walked slowly up from the beach. She was wearing a dark and elegant embroidered dress. The fabric seemed like fine silk. A lifelike unicorn appeared on her chest. Auspicious clouds and auspicious colors sparkled slightly in the sun, as if containing endless nobility.

A parrot rested on her shoulder, its bright, gorgeous and soft color contrasting with her deep background, further highlighting the solemn, ancient and mysterious aura of the woman.

These warriors did not have any special reaction to her appearance. They just treated her as an intruder by accident, but she was unlucky to appear in this place at this time.

Because based on their understanding of the Emperor of Jin, he would rather kill someone by mistake than miss the opportunity, and this woman would never have the chance to leave.

The warriors reported the matter to the Jin emperor and waited for punishment.

However, after listening to the warrior's description, Mr. Meihua felt strange. For those who practice metaphysics, they always inexplicably believe in the sixth sense.

He twisted his snake-like soft body and walked forward, then looked carefully in the direction of the woman, only to see that she was walking straight towards him without moving.

Logically speaking, their personnel and carriages were all hidden in the huge stone rock wall. They could see the situation outside through the narrow cracks in the rocks, but it was difficult to accurately judge the situation inside from the outside.

It's such a big place, but she just walked here in a straight line. What does it mean?
"What's wrong?" asked the Emperor of Jin.

Mr. Meihua covered his lips and laughed: "It's okay, Emperor Jin, don't worry, it's just a little mouse that accidentally broke in. We have set up a psychedelic formation outside, she can't get in."

"At this time, no matter what happens, we must not take it lightly." The Jin Emperor was always cautious and suspicious. He said in a deep voice: "Send someone to investigate the situation and kill him if necessary."

Mr. Meihua rolled his eyes and suggested, "Why not let me go?"

It would be better if he went.

The Jin Emperor said politely, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Meihua."

Mr. Meihua and the Emperor of Jin are equivalent to a host and a guest. One invites him to do things, and the other is greedy for profit and eliminates disasters for others.

Therefore, there is no obvious superior-subordinate relationship, it is just an employment relationship. If the workload exceeds the quota, one person volunteers and the other is naturally happy to complete it.

Mr. Meihua waved his hand, the barrier opened, and he walked out charmingly. His top and skirt were red and blue, and the outfit was very eye-catching.

Seeing that the well-dressed woman was about to step into the "psychedelic array" area, he called out to her: "Miss, there is no way ahead, it is inconvenient to go forward, please go back."

His words were both a reminder and a test of the other party's reaction.

But the woman just glanced at him and smiled softly.

It wasn't a smile that mocked his clothing or his seductive posture, but a terrifying smile that saw through everything: "The demon from Chiyou Palace."

Mr. Meihua's face suddenly tightened, and he immediately pinched his fingers to form a seal, completely isolating the "psychedelic array" from the outside world. After he could neither hear nor see anything, he calmed his mind a little.

"who are you?"

His identity was seen through at a glance. Now it can be confirmed that this woman did not break in accidentally. She must have noticed traces of the formation from a distance and came over to investigate.

At this time, Mr. Meihua never expected that the other party was actually coming for them.

"All the demons and monsters in Chiyou Palace have set out, but one is loyal to the Xie family and the other is loyal to the Jin Emperor. One of them must be fake. You are actually here to destroy the Jin Emperor's imperial luck, right?"

If Mr. Meihua was surprised by the other party's previous words that exposed his identity, then this sentence was enough to make him want to kill.

She actually knew so much about Chiyou Palace. She seemed to have a deep understanding of their Chiyou Palace, but Mr. Meihua knew nothing about the woman in front of him.

It made him feel like an invisible net quietly binding his heart tightly, and an unknown heavy feeling made him breathless.

Fortunately, he had a premonition that something was wrong and blocked the perception of those within the "psychedelic array". Otherwise, given the suspicious nature of the Jin Emperor, his "hidden" sabotage might have been in vain.

"No matter who you are, you have to die now." Mr. Meihua pursed his lips and smiled, his artificial face seemed to be covered by a layer of frost, gloomy.

Mr. Meihua raised his arm and the sand under his feet floated up, swirled around his body and then scattered on the ground with a "crash". What fell on the ground was no longer "sand", but all turned into poisonous-tailed scorpions.

They crawled towards Xu Shanshan quickly, and the density of their numbers was so great that it made people's backs chill. A single prick from one of them could pierce a person into a sieve.

The woman didn't move, her expression didn't even change, and the parrot on her shoulder raised its neck and gave Mr. Meihua a look of contempt.

Mr. Meihua's eyes narrowed into dangerous slits, and his pupils flashed with cold and determined murderous intent.

When the poisonous scorpions swarmed down and crawled all over her feet and legs, a dazzling white light flashed, and all the black poisonous scorpions turned into white phantom butterflies that fluttered out.

They seemed to be led by invisible hands and gathered into a group. They flew through the sunlight, and the powder on their wings sparkled with tiny lights.

However, such a beautiful and dreamy picture, in Mr. Meihua's eyes, was like falling into a nightmare.

“Nightmare, Nightmare Ghost Butterfly?!” He gasped, waving his arms in panic and retreating step by step: “Don’t, don’t touch me, go away, go away!”

He finally understood where this woman who could defeat him with just one move came from... He had to escape. He was no match for her. He couldn't die. He had to stay alive. He still had many important things to do...

The ghost turned his head and ran away.

However, just as he took a step, a bloody hole was torn in his chest by the "Nightmare Butterfly". He had a dazed expression and slowly lowered his head. Then his body softened and melted into a pile of sand and fell to the ground.

"Substitution technique?" Maomao flapped his wings.

Xu Shanshan glanced in one direction, Maomao flew up, and said fiercely: "Shan, do you want to chase?"

It will never allow anyone to dare to fool its mountains.

Xu Shanshan smiled and said indifferently: "No need, our real target today is King Jin. Even if the rest of the small fish escape, they will eventually return to the rivers and seas and be swept into the waves."

When the warriors discovered that Mr. Meihua had sealed the "psychedelic array", they already realized that something was wrong.

They immediately tensed up and dispersed to guard the Jin Emperor's carriage with all their might. They were worried and anxious in their hearts, wondering if Mr. Meihua had betrayed them or if there was something wrong with that woman.
"what happened?"

The Jin Emperor was also affected by this uneasy and tense atmosphere, and asked sternly, "Where is Mr. Meihua? Why can't you hear any sounds from outside all of a sudden?"

The warriors present were all loyal warriors carefully selected by the Emperor of Jin. Unlike other soldiers, the Emperor of Jin would absolutely trust them if they encountered danger.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Meihua has completely sealed off the psychedelic array. Now we are completely trapped in it. What should we do?"

"what?!"

The Emperor of Jin angrily lifted the curtain and looked into the distance.

Sure enough, the previous environment had completely changed. With them as the center, there was fog and darkness ten feet away, and nothing could be seen clearly.

The Jin Emperor clenched his fists. After all, he was an old fox who had experienced many things. He remained calm and said, "Wait a moment. He didn't get what he wanted, so he won't betray me at this time."

Mr. Meihua's origins are mysterious. During a battle with an evil master, he caught the emperor's favor and was recruited by the Jin Emperor.

Although the Emperor of Jin was just using him, wasn't Mr. Meihua the same?

These Jin emperors all knew very well that they definitely had something that the other party needed, so Mr. Meihua would be willing to be driven by him and do things for him.

Time passed in silence, as if swallowing up hope. In this bottomless and lightless place, they were like being abandoned on an island, their eyes filled with anxiety and tension.

"Your Majesty, I want to try the road."

There was a warrior who was willing to take the risk and try to walk into the darkness behind the fog to see if he could find a way to the outside world.

The Jin Emperor thought about it and said, "Okay."

The warrior plucked up his courage, gritted his teeth and rushed in. He had a thin waist rope tied around him, which was made of ropes torn from his clothes and tied into knots.

This was also a solution thought up by a group of warriors. They held one end while he tied the other end and entered.

After a long time, the traction rope that had been hanging in the air suddenly lost its strength. They pulled it back slowly with grim expressions, only to find that the other end had been broken and the person tied to it... was gone.

Can't get out? If Mr. Meihua never comes back...won't they be trapped in this "psychedelic array" forever?
Just as they were racking their brains for a solution, a beam of light suddenly shone in the darkness. It first expanded from a dot to a piece, and finally a large piece of sunlight shone in again.

At that moment, they felt as if they had received a blessing and were ecstatic.

"Is Mr. Plum Blossom back?"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Jin no longer waited, but put on his cloak, stepped out of the carriage, and under the protection of a group of warriors, looked towards the beach.

Just this one glance and he was completely stunned.

It was as if a dazzling light shone into his pupils, causing his mind to go blank for a moment, and then his memory came back.

He seemed to see himself when he was young. At that time, he was small and inferior, standing next to a man in luxurious clothes, with his head lowered like a clown, shrinking timidly and not daring to look at people.

They came to the Holy Mountain Temple to pray for peace and prosperity for the country of Jing.

They did not need to walk along the white jade stairs, but instead worshipped devoutly at each step, heading towards the highest peak, just to meet the most honorable person in Jing Kingdom - the Grand Master.

It was also a sunny day at that time. The incandescent sunlight poured down unhindered and suddenly pierced into his eyes. He felt a sharp pain and his world became blurred and distorted at this moment.

He heard someone talking.

"Prince Jin, the man behind you is like a villain eyeing your crown. Your kindness, persuasion, and mercy will only make him worse. If you don't take preemptive action in advance, there will be endless troubles."

A beautiful, ethereal and cold voice that he had never heard before. She was discussing the life and death of the elegant man without any taboos.

He knelt on the ground in panic, determined to see the man clearly even if he was blinded. Then he saw a figure that he would never forget in his life.

That person was different from him. She seemed to be the one favored by the sun. As long as she was there, all the light would shine for her. That figure, which was too sacred and bright, made him feel ashamed of himself.

Not daring to look directly at her, not daring to complain, not daring to argue, he lowered his eyes in panic, his heart pounding, but at the same time, a feeling of unwillingness, unyielding and indignation arose spontaneously.

At that time, he was thinking, as long as he was given one chance, just one time... he would never come to the temple in such a humiliating and inferior posture again. He wanted the Grand Master to see him clearly in his eyes, he wanted the Grand Master to admit in person that he was more suitable to be the King of Jin than that man!
As time passed, the mood he had back then no longer existed. His mind was filled with ambition, and he had long forgotten the grand wish he had made back then, but at this moment he inexplicably recalled it again.

There was a figure in front of him, walking against the light and approaching this direction. Emperor Jin narrowed his eyes and, despite the sting of the strong light, tried hard to see the person in front of him clearly, just as eagerly as he had done in the temple.

Looking at his tall, slender and graceful figure, I knew that the person coming was not Mr. Meihua.

The Jin Emperor took a sudden step back.

"Back then, I warned the King of Jin that if he didn't make a decision when he should, he would suffer the consequences. If he didn't make a decision, there would be trouble in the future. Because he was kind and soft-hearted and took his brotherly feelings into consideration, you took away everything from him. Do you regret not listening to my advice?"

The Jin Emperor's head seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and his breathing became disordered.
