It is said that there is a great mystery behind the layout of the palace's foundation, and when powerful aliens enter the palace, they cannot use their spiritual power.
The vicious Mu Qingge is also in the palace. If she instigates Emperor Su Yu to harm Master...
Ran Ran was getting more and more worried. Just then, the little Suzaku jumped onto her head again, jumping around and asking for peanuts.
Ranran looked at the little Suzaku and suddenly her eyes lit up. Yes, why didn’t she think of it before!
So she reached out and grabbed a talisman, wrapped it around Suzaku's feet, then patted its head and said, "Be good, go to the largest courtyard in the imperial city and take a look. If my master is in danger, you must come back and inform me immediately. Remember, don't get too close to those soldiers with swords and weapons. I'm afraid that you won't be able to use your skills after entering the imperial city. If you are caught and put in a cage, it will be terrible."
After a lot of earnest instructions, Ran Ran finally let the bird fly away. She then sat cross-legged in her room, communicating with the Vermillion Bird, and seeing the situation in the palace clearly through the bird's eyes.
The little Vermilion Bird flapped its wings and quickly flew over the ridge of the tall roof. With the help of its bird's eyes, Ran Ran saw Su Yishui being led by palace servants towards the palace gate.
The little Vermilion Bird was really lively. It circled in the sky from time to time, fluttering around everywhere, and soon flew to the west side of the palace.
Gradually, one could hear some crazy spitting and cursing coming from the palace on the west side.
When the little red bird landed on the branch in front of the window and jumped, Ran Ran could clearly see a woman with disheveled hair smashing things and spitting, "What kind of bullshit panacea is this? Why doesn't the scar on my face heal?"
Ran Ran looked carefully and was shocked, because the woman was Mu Qingge! After so long, the scars on her face still hadn't healed. Although they had scabbed over, they were still dark red, ruining her beautiful face, just like a warm red fan...
Ran Ran remembered that Wei Yan's claws had once ripped open the black dragon's belly, and were naturally stained with the black dragon's blood. She didn't know if it was because of the blood of the spirit beast that Mu Qingge's wounds could not heal for a long time.
But after she gave Qin Xuan the wine ointment, she clearly asked her master, and her master said that the ointment could neutralize the toxicity of the black dragon and heal the wound, right?
Ran Ran tried hard to recall the ointment she had made. It was obviously very effective. Even though she and her senior brother had so many bites from the fairy-eating insects, after applying the ointment, there was not a single scar left.
Why doesn't it work on Mu Qingge?
Ran Ran didn't know that Mu Qingge had thrown away the ointment that Qin Xuanjiu sent her, and for a moment she was wondering what was wrong with her own medicine.
Although she hated Mu Qingge very much, the medicine she gave Qin Xuanjiu was genuine. If Mu Qingge had used it, the wound on her face would at least not have been so bad...
At this time, a palace maid in the room said cautiously: "Madam Zhan, the fennel spring has already cleared the area for you for tomorrow. It is said that the fennel spring has a miraculous effect on healing scars. You should go there more often to soak in the warm water. It will definitely be good for your wounds."
Mu Qingge said coldly: "I'll go and try it. If it doesn't work, I'll kill you!"
Looking out the window, Mu Qingge with disheveled hair was scolding the palace maid. Then thinking that this woman might be liked by the master, Ranran felt really uncomfortable and didn't want to look at her at all.
At this moment, the little Vermilion Bird flapped its wings again and chased after Su Yishui. Finally, it stopped on a branch outside the study and looked inside.
Just as Su Yishui expected, Emperor Su Yu really met the alien Bao Ming, whom he valued very much, in his study.
However, when Su Yishui entered the study, the guards came to search him and told him to wait in the outer room of the study and not to enter the inner room.
At this moment, a gentle male voice came from behind the pearl curtains: "Is it Mr. Bao Ming who is waiting in the outer room?"
Su Yishui lowered his eyes and clasped his fists, saying, "That's right."
Seeing that he did not kowtow, the eunuch beside him said in a shrill voice: "How dare you! You don't even kneel down and pay your respects to His Majesty?"
Su Yishui still stood steadily, with no intention of kneeling. The eunuch beside him was about to make trouble, but the man in the inner room said nonchalantly: "People who practice Taoism originally don't care about wealth and honor. In the eyes of the master, all living beings are equal. I am no different from others, and there is no need for those worldly etiquettes... The master is willing to come, it seems that he agrees with my previous proposal."
Su Yishui lowered his eyes and said, "Now that I have met His Majesty, please tell me your proposal in person to avoid any misunderstandings in the previous correspondence."
The person behind the pearl curtain smiled and said, "Sir, what are you afraid of? Didn't you clearly express in your letter that you have been in love with Mu Qingge for many years and longed to have sex with her? As long as you hand over the Seven Evils Transfiguration Curse, perhaps I will arrange for you to meet. As for whether we can have a romantic relationship, it depends on your ability."
In the eyes of outsiders, Emperor Su Yu highly values his former benefactor Mu Qingge. But at this moment, the man behind the pearl curtain talked about Mu Qingge as if she were an insignificant item that could be given away lightly.
Su Yishui didn't expect that the Leopard Ming he pretended to be was actually a pervert who had always been coveting Mu Qingge's beauty. His brows slightly tightened for a moment.
Even though Mu Ranwu was a fake, she still used Mu Qingge's name. Has she ever thought that the "Xiao Yu" whom she affectionately called was such a despicable man?
He said coldly: "Mu Qingge has always been arrogant, I'm afraid she won't obey your majesty's orders, right?"
The man in the inner room said coldly: "You don't have to worry, just tell me if it's okay or not."
Su Yishui originally came here just to meet Su Yu, but since entering the capital, he had noticed all kinds of things wrong. When he met Su Yu this time, all his guesses were confirmed.
Other things would be fine, but now the man in a high position, as if talking about a prostitute, gave Mu Qingge to such a vulgar man. Su Yishui could only feel his anger uncontrollably, and said in an increasingly cold tone: "Your Majesty is really generous, but I wonder if Mu Qingge had thought that when she helped you to ascend to the throne, she was helping a person who was worse than a pig or a dog!"
After saying this, Su Yishui suddenly moved, rushed into the inner room at lightning speed, and grabbed the man behind the pearl curtain by the neck.
The Bagua foundation of the palace can indeed restrain spiritual energy and supernatural powers. However, Su Yishui began to practice martial arts at the age of seven, and at the age of fourteen, he became a disciple of the great hero Yan Fei, and his martial arts skills were amazing.
So before the people around him could react, he had already jumped up quickly and captured Su Yu.
Capture the bandit and the king. As long as we have Su Yu in our hands, everything else will be easy.
But when Su Yishui looked closely at Su Yu who was trembling in his hands, he couldn't help but be stunned.
His leopard cry was fake, but he didn’t expect that the emperor sitting steadily behind the pearl curtain... was also fake!
Although this boy's features resembled Su Yu very much, Su Yishui still recognized him at a glance. He was just a stand-in who looked 70% like him.
At this moment, the doors and windows around the study were suddenly closed. At the same time, thick smoke rose from the four corners of the room, and a burst of laughter came from the light gauze of a dragon chariot outside the room: "I am your uncle after all. You are so disobedient and you fight at the slightest disagreement. You really take after your father..."
Su Yishui's voice came from the study: "When did you find out about my flaws?"
The person in the dragon chariot smiled and said, "The old Feng you have seen is Feng Shisan, the Celestial Eye Immortal Master. The leopard claws that were conjured by the magic trick could not hide his eyes."
Su Yishui said coldly: "So you knew me early on, but you led me here?"
"It's been years since we last met, and I miss you so much. It's time for us to sit down and reminisce about the past. But you're a wild person, so do you mind if I help you calm down?"
As he spoke, the golden symbol in the study room emitted a wisp of green smoke, as if it had its own consciousness, rushing to drill into the cracks in the study room...
At this moment, Su Yishui suddenly broke out from the eaves of the roof, and ran and jumped along the roof using light skills. Looking at the direction he ran, he was heading towards a tall building in the palace.
At this moment, the little Vermilion Bird perched on the branch outside Yu's study blinked its black bean-like eyes and presented the changes in Yu's study to Ranran truthfully.
Little Suzaku wanted to continue watching, but Feng Shisan, with his sinister eyes, glanced at Suzaku and turned his head quickly, his eyes flashing with surprise. He suddenly dived under the tree and jumped up to catch Suzaku.
However, Suzaku flew up early, dodging the many random arrows shot at him at Feng Shisan's command, and quickly flew out of the palace.
When she found that Yu's study was sealed, Ran Ran jumped up anxiously. These people acted quickly and skillfully, and it was obvious that this was a trap that had been set.
The old man with the yin-yang eyes was indeed quite capable. Not only did he recognize his master early on, he was also able to recognize Little Suzaku's disguise.
The master was trapped alone in the dangerous situation of the imperial palace, and he had no spiritual power at this moment. Wouldn't he be at the mercy of others?
When she told the first and second uncles about the situation in the palace, they were both extremely anxious.
Yu Chen immediately glared and said, "Even if I have to break into the palace, I will rescue my master!"
Yu Tong was calmer than her brother. She said in a deep voice, "The master has told me before that if he hasn't returned by the morning of the 1st of the morning, I will have to take you guys away from the capital. After sending you out, I will go to the palace with my brother to save the master."
Gao Cang said in a humming voice: "I will not leave, I will stay and help you save Master!"
For a moment, everyone was full of righteousness, but slowly realized that passion alone could not solve the problem.
This is not an ordinary secular palace, but a dangerous place specially designed for cultivators.
The group of immortals kept in the Alien House are probably just the tip of the iceberg. I don’t know how many minions and aliens Su Yu has kept.
若是連師父都落入了險境裏，那麽他們這群毫無準備的蝦米一旦入宮就只能飛蛾撲火，被人一鍋端，全斷了師父獲救的希望了。
只是她壓根都沒見過蘇域，更不了解他這個人，如何去救師父？
羽童在某些方面，跟秦玄酒一樣，也是死腦筋，既然師父讓她清晨送冉冉他們出去，便不能打一絲一毫的折扣。
只不過昨日他們回來的時候，似乎也被人盯上了，此時整個院外也被人圍得水洩不通，眼看着西山滅門在即。
不過羽童并未太過驚慌，她帶着大家來到宅子一處廢棄許久的小院落裏，推開了屋內的一個櫃子，後面赫然出現了地道暗口。
當沿着地道下去的時候，冉冉發現此處竟然還有供人休憩的密室。
看着擺放的落滿了灰塵的器物，也許很多年前有人在這裏躲避風頭。只是冉冉用火把照過去時，發現牆壁上有許多利爪劃過的痕跡，一片片的，觸目驚心，仿佛這裏曾經關着的……是一頭困獸一般。
順着這不知什麽時候挖鑿的暗道，走了好一陣子功夫，等再出來的時候，已經到了京城之外。
“這是主人二十年前挖鑿的避險暗道，沒想到今日卻用上了……你們先折返回西山吧，主人不準你們在路上耽擱。”
羽童交待完了，便折返而去。
就在他們出京城不久，那城門也終于開了，那個陰陽眼老馮正領着人挨個盤查，似乎在尋找着蘇易水的同黨。
冉冉覺得師父心思缜密，連她們如何出城都安排周到，可怎麽到了他自己的身上就如此糊塗，冒冒失失地入了皇宮陷阱？
但是想想老虎瞌睡還有打盹的時候，萬一師父一時糊塗，落入了那皇帝的圈套裏也說不定。
想到她在京城裏時感受到的種種異樣，眼前的這座城充滿了說不出的危險和詭異。
雖然師父交待清楚，但是她絕不會丢下師父一人，獨自逃跑離開的！
高倉和丘喜兒也不願意，不過丘喜兒想到城裏的風聲鶴唳，便想着說：“現在城裏到處在抓捕人，我們回去是自投羅網……不知能不能找到師父的朋友，看看有誰能幫助我們救出師父？”
說完這話，他們互相望了望，除了茶茗山的曾易，師父幾乎從無朋友，哪裏能尋到人來幫他？
冉冉其實一早就有主意了。她沉穩說道：“為今之計，只有我們中有人再次潛入皇宮，查明師父的下落才可做進一步的打算。”
高倉皺眉道：“那皇宮固若金湯，就連小朱雀飛進去都差一點被捉，現在師父被皇帝算計進去，只怕想再闖入，也是難如登天了！”
冉冉在地道裏走來這一路其實已經想好了法子：“招數不怕用老，我們将師父的李代桃僵，再用一次就好了。”
丘喜兒眨巴了下眼睛：“你難道還要扮成豹鳴的女弟子？”
冉冉搖了搖頭：“我要扮成沐清歌！”
皇帝的行蹤并不好查探，可是客居在西宮的沐清歌，倒是規律很穩定。
昨日朱雀偷窺時，冉冉無意中聽見了沐清歌要去城外泡溫泉的事情。
現在唯有死馬當做活馬醫，去找沐清歌看看能不能找到突破口。
沐清歌她臉上的傷口雖然已經凝住，但是眼看着要落下一道紅痕，心裏自然着急。
據說京城南邊的茴香泉有凝脂生肌的效用。冉冉借助朱雀知道了沐清歌的行程，在茴香泉守株待兔就可以一勞永逸了最不濟，若是能逮到沐清歌也可以用她談條件，看看能不能用她來跟皇帝交換了蘇易水……
想到這，冉冉帶着師兄師姐馬不停蹄地趕往了城南的茴香泉。
高倉和丘喜兒現在都聽小師妹的，小師妹讓他們捅馬蜂窩，他們都不帶猶豫的。冉冉的腦瓜子不同于常人，他們無腦跟着照做就是了。
蘇域重視人才，對于戰娘娘也是給足該有的排面。
香車為駕，長長的車隊開道，甚至還為她配了三個異人來保駕護航。
但這處京城貴人沐浴的地方，并非皇宮，無論怎麽戒防，也都會有暗洞死角。
羽童原本是想要使用輕身術飛身過牆的，可是冉冉卻說不可。
蘇域手下的異人甚多，陪護的三個異人裏說不定也有如馮十三那樣的火眼金睛之輩。他們潛入這裏，能不動用靈力最好不要用。
眼看着湯館每日要運進成車的柴草，冉冉仗着身形小，轉入柴草堆裏混了進去。而高倉和丘喜兒則在外面把風。
這湯館的外館容易混入，可沐清歌所在的內館西側就不好靠近了。
冉冉發現這湯館裏來回走動遞送巾帕的，都是年輕漂亮的小姑娘，于是她晃動身形，輕飄飄入了下人房換上了侍女服之後，便端着巾布默默潛入了浴室蒸房的內側。
她如今的輕身術已經到了出神入化的階段。就算不提靈氣，也步履輕盈，只借助巧妙走位，如一片羽毛一般靈巧飄忽不定，避開了守衛，潛入了沐清歌正在浸泡的露天浴池裏。
沐仙師似乎不喜人打擾，正在閉目養神，可是當冉冉進來的一瞬間，她立刻有所察覺。
揮手調動放置在一旁的寶劍，讓寶劍禦風而行，直直朝着冉冉襲來。
若是以前，冉冉絕對躲避不來這劍，當時就會被它刺穿。
可是現在的冉冉看向那疾馳而來的劍時，仿佛在看緩行而來的鵝毛，來不及想，便伸手用兩根長指将劍身給夾住了。
當她穩穩接住了劍身時，自己都愣了一下：沐仙師怎麽比在天脈山上時，還要弱一些呢？
當薛冉冉彈開寶劍，用自己的小匕首抵上沐仙師的喉嚨時，沐仙師圓瞪的大眼睛裏也滿是不可思議。
雖然沐冉冉通過了洗髓池，但是也不可能超越她這麽多啊！
“你是怎麽潛進來的！”
冉冉小聲道：“仙師好，我這刀刃上噙着毒，若是您動作大些，不小心割破了皮，只怕您臉上的傷又要增添幾道了。”
沐冉舞瞪着冉冉，強自微笑道：“你想做什麽？”
冉冉取了金符拍在了沐冉舞的額頭上，讓她不能輕易動彈，徑自切入主題問：“皇帝老兒将我師父關在了何處？”
沐冉舞聽得一愣：“你在說什麽？蘇易水被皇上抓起來了？”
顯然，她之前并不知道這事兒，愣神之後，便是釋然一笑：“我的天，蘇易水居然會如此犯蠢，往蘇域的刀口上撞？”
冉冉眨巴眼睛看着她，小聲道：“笑得太大，那臉也會撞刀口……”
沐冉舞總算不笑了，挑眉說道：“抓你師父的是蘇域，你拿刀要挾我作甚。當初在天脈山上時，我也是迫不得已，為了解魏糾給我下的怨水，我必須要得到洗髓池的助力，若是有對不住你的地方，你還要體諒擔待些啊！”
冉冉可不是聽她說這些虛僞之言的，她輕聲道：“我此來，是想請仙師助我救出師父。”
沐冉舞嗤笑了一聲，言不由衷道：“好啊，我答應你，你先給我解開再說。”
不過冉冉卻掏出了另一副真言咒符，将它再次貼到沐仙師的臉上：“實在對不住，你慣會說謊，我貼了這個再問你，也安心些。”
說完，她便問：“你真的不知我師父被抓的事情？”
沐冉舞鐵青着臉，卻老實說：“真的不知，只聽到昨日皇宮似乎進了什麽刺客，鬧騰了一陣子而已……”
冉冉又問：“你可知那被抓的刺客被關押在何處？”
沐冉舞雖然不想說，但是礙着真言符在身，又一五一十道：“若昨夜真的抓了蘇易水，我想蘇域依然會将他押解在皇宮之中，畢竟只有皇宮特殊的風水才會鎮住他的靈力。”
冉冉又問：“你會幫我救師父嗎？”
沐冉舞臉頰上的疤痕都在微微的跳：“我才不會救，他心裏壓根沒有我，只一心想着你！我巴不得他跟你一起死掉算了！”
哎呀，這樣的回答可大大超出了薛冉冉的預期，她有些傻眼：沐仙師怎麽知道她跟師父有了茍且之事呢？而且沐仙師的口吻滿是醋意。
難道沐仙師當初就是誤會師父與女徒弟之間發生了什麽，所以才會醋意大發，設下毒蟲謀害她嗎？
要真是這般，她豈不是成了師父戀情的絆腳石？眼看二十年的絕戀，因為她這個小徒弟攪局而變得徹底絕望了？
不過眼下可不是兒女情長的時候，薛冉冉原也沒有指望能說動沐冉舞救師父，她抱歉地搖了搖頭，又問：“你跟皇帝經常見面嗎？”
沐冉舞已經惱了，這樣句句說實話的簡直像剝掉了她的保護殼，可是嘴巴又不受控，只咬牙切齒道：“蘇域那個混蛋，也不過是利用我，怎麽會天天見我呢……該死！”
別人都以為皇帝高看沐清歌，所以對待戰娘娘如再生的父母。沐冉舞也樂得別人這麽看，滿是虛榮心被滿足的驕傲。
But now Mu Ranwu had to reveal herself that she was just a pawn of others, especially in front of Xue Ranran. The shame of losing all face was almost bursting out from the unhealed scars on her face.
