Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 479 Entering the Palace
"Let's go, come find me for a drink when you have time."

Grandpa Qiu didn't continue talking about Xiao Ran's grandfather.

Because there are some things he can't say, and he dare not say. There are many ghosts in this world who are forcibly staying in the world of the living. Unlike ordinary ghosts, none of the ghosts who have been able to stay here by their own strength and keep their true spirits from dissipating are easy to deal with.

It would be fine if it was just people like Grandpa Xiao Ran, but it's not just among the common people, there are many of them in the three religions.

Especially in Longhu Mountain, there are evil spirits that have been forcibly retained in the world of the living, so this matter is too big and it is not his turn to discuss it.

So after hastily ending the topic, Master Qiu took out a bell from his sleeve and shook it at the children: "Let's go, let's go!!"

"jingle!!"

Along with the empty sound of bells, the ghosts that were originally lingering here turned into particles of green smoke and followed behind Mr. Qiu and the other two, quickly disappearing from Xiao Ran's sight.

"Old man..."

Xiao Ran stopped where he was, and couldn't help but wonder what his grandfather and his gang were trying to do.
But after thinking about it over and over again, I still couldn't figure it out, so I just stopped thinking about it.

After Master Qiu took away the wandering souls stranded in the Yin-Yang Dao, Xiao Ran also came to the location of the Daming Palace, but the Daming Palace in front of him was completely in ruins. Xiao Ran could only barely judge from the broken walls of the ruins that he had entered the Daming Palace, but he could not tell exactly where he was.

After finding a secluded place, Xiao Ran used Yin-Yang Dislocation again. As his body was enveloped by a strange force, Xiao Ran slowly walked forward along the ruins. The surrounding buildings began to become clear and complete with his steps.

At this moment, time and space seemed to be torn apart.

This feeling is a bit like escaping from a maze, but the feeling is not so strong.

"I hope my luck isn't too bad."

Xiao Ran secretly prayed that when he appeared, it would be best if he was in a deserted place, so that he could save himself a lot of trouble.

However, when Xiao Ran slowly walked out of the Yin-Yang Road, there was indeed an empty space in front of him. But before Xiao Ran could breathe a sigh of relief, the black swan brooch on his chest began to sound an alarm frantically.

At the same time, Xiao Ran also felt a strong murderous aura enveloping him. Xiao Ran turned around and looked behind him.

"hiss!!!"

Even Xiao Ran couldn't help but gasp at this moment.

All he saw was a sea of black figures in front of him. The heavy armor of the imperial guards on their bodies flashed a unique metallic glow under the moonlight. They held Mo Dao in their hands, their eyes were like torches, and they stood behind him like neat sculptures.

The rolling murderous aura made Xiao Ran feel like he couldn't breathe for an instant.

"Warning! You are affected by the special aura of the Royal Guards [All Dharmas Are Forbidden].

All attributes are reduced by 30%, all cursed items are affected, and each time you activate it, you can only choose to use one of the privileges.

Warning! You are affected by the special aura of the Royal Guards [All Laws Forbidden].

Only the [Horizontal Training] profession is retained for use, [Corpse Collector] and [Lucky Man] cannot be activated or use professional skills.

Warning! You are affected by the special aura of the Royal Guards [All Laws Forbidden].

One's own supernatural powers are blocked and all abilities are suppressed.

......"

A series of negative alarms appeared in front of Xiao Ran, making him feel that something was wrong.

These imperial guards are a team composed of the most elite and capable masters of the dynasty. Not only are they strong, but they are also disciplined and well-organized battlefield killers.

Once enveloped by this murderous aura, he didn't know whether the celestial being could kill them all, but he certainly couldn't.

After a brief moment of daze, Xiao Ran's mouth twitched, and he bowed to the imperial guards in front of him: "Sorry, sorry, I took the wrong road, I came to the toilet."

Faced with Xiao Ran's explanation, the imperial guards remained calm and just raised the Mo Dao in their hands.

"kill!!"

Along with the shout of killing, Xiao Ran felt a bit dazed, as if for a moment he had the illusion that his soul was being shouted out.

Xiao Ran had no way of savoring this sudden "concern". Without waiting for the guards to kill him, Xiao Ran gathered his strength, jumped several meters away, and ran to the other side.

When I ran out to look around, I couldn't tell where I was at all.

But there were guards everywhere.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

At this time, there were hundreds of archers lying in ambush on the wall. They suddenly popped out from above and shot dense arrows at Xiao Ran.

This kind of large-area coverage is impossible to avoid unless there are obstacles.

"Not good!"

Seeing the arrows coming, Xiao Ran quickly took out [Purple Gold Tiger Support·Horizontal Training] from the space.

As the spell patterns poured in, a light blue light flashed on the tiger support, and a group of light blue ripples spread out in all directions with Xiao Ran as the center.

The arrows originally shot at Xiao Ran, after touching the ripples, all stopped in mid-air, and then as Xiao Ran waved his tiger support, the arrows began to revolve around Xiao Ran.

After activation, the purple-gold tiger support can exert magnetic control on metal within a radius of 10 meters.

Duration: 10 minutes
Cooling time: 1 hours
The spinning arrows were getting faster and faster. After Xiao Ran suddenly turned off his privilege, they developed inertia and shot arrows in all directions.

"Jingle Bell……"

The arrows were shot densely in all directions, seemingly with amazing power. After landing on the heavy armor of the imperial guards behind, they did not even leave a mark.

Fortunately, Xiao Ran did not expect this trick to have any effect. He just took advantage of the momentary chaos to quickly distance himself from the imperial guards. He flipped over, used the Drifting with the Wind skill, and stepped lightly on the gap in the corner of the palace wall. Like a nimble gecko, he quickly climbed over the wall.

After jumping over the palace wall, Xiao Ran randomly found a room and rushed in. Then he jumped onto the beam and hid behind it, blocking his breath, waiting quietly for the footsteps outside to fade away.

"Why are these guys hiding here instead of protecting the emperor?"

All of these imperial guards outside are the elite among the elite, and are even stronger than the Modao Army trained by Lu Cheng himself. Normally, such elite troops should be guarding the emperor, but now they can still hear the sounds of fighting coming from the palace in the distance, and these imperial guards have no intention of going to support.

This couldn't help but make Xiao Ran feel a huge doubt in his heart.

It is true that the emperor is stupid, but he is not a fool. He is even smarter than most people of this era. There must be some other reason why these imperial guards are guarding here.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran's eyes rolled around, trying to figure out a way to go in and see what was going on.

"Hurry up!"

At this time, the footsteps of a group of people outside the door were getting closer and closer. Xiao Ran listened carefully and found that the steps of the people coming were weak and heavy, and it was obvious that they were not martial artists.

Just as I was about to stick my head out to take a look, the door was pushed open.

An old eunuch dressed in eunuch's clothes walked in and said to the people behind him: "Don't stand there, you go first, I will follow you later."

The young eunuchs behind him didn't dare to ask more questions after hearing this, and walked forward quickly with the things in their arms.

"Wait, Wuzi, you stay outside and guard for me."

The old eunuch called a young eunuch and asked him to stand guard for him outside the door.

Then he turned around and closed the door, then tiptoed to the edge of the bed and found a wooden barrel from under the bed.

After opening it, I took off my pants and sat on it.

"Huff, huff, huff... I'm dying of suffocation."

Following a series of hissing sounds, a look of relief appeared on the old eunuch's face. It was obvious that he had been holding his urine for a long time.

"Oh, these lackeys really make me uncomfortable. When Your Majesty becomes a god, I will tear out their tendons, peel off their skin, and grind their bones to dust."

Just as the old eunuch was enjoying the pleasure of being relieved from holding his urine, he did not notice that a shadow had silently hung upside down from the beam above his head.

He placed his hands silently in front of the old eunuch's neck, and before the old eunuch opened his eyes, he twisted his hands violently.

With a "click!"

The old eunuch's neck was broken on the spot.

Xiao Ran then turned over and looked at the old eunuch's body. He glanced outside the door, then took off the old eunuch's clothes. After carefully observing the old eunuch's facial features, he took out the [Lucky Man] and shone it on his face. A dice appeared above his head.

By the time the dice landed on six, Xiao Ran's appearance and body shape had changed into that of the old eunuch in front of him.

F-level cursed item: [Disguise Mirror·Lucky Man] (first appearance in Chapter 71)
An exquisite life often starts with dressing up.

Privilege 1: Disguise

Face the mirror and silently recite the other person's name and appearance, and your face will temporarily change into the other person's appearance, including body shape and your own aura.

Duration: 30 minutes
Cooling time: 24 hours.

During the disguise, you will get extra lucky dice. The higher the points you roll, the stronger the imitation effect will be.

I unzipped his pants and took a look. It was okay. Although the role was very similar, the physiological characteristics were still there.

"Eunuch Wang, please hurry up, the imperial guards will be here soon."

At this time, the eunuch's reminder came from outside the door.

There are a lot of rules in this palace. Eunuchs have fixed places to go to the toilet, but the palace is so big that sometimes you may not be able to get there.

After all, eunuchs have incomplete genitals, so it is easy for them to leak urine if they hold it in. That’s why people say eunuchs have a foul smell.

Later, the eunuchs learned to be smart and hid a few toilets in places where no one was around. They would use the toilet secretly when necessary, and it became an unspoken agreement among everyone as long as they didn't get discovered.

Time was running out, and Xiao Ran didn't have time to sew up the old eunuch's body. He just put on his clothes, put on his hat, calmed himself down, opened the door and walked out...
