Chapter 2321 The Great Secret of the Heavenly Palace
A sharp pain shot through her wound, and Mei Wuniang's wrist trembled a few times before she could catch her breath: "So, so it has been secretly relocated, but on the surface it still pretends to be operating, with personnel, supplies, and weapons still coming and going."
Nie Xiaolou understood: "A trap."
The experimental site on Pulu Island has been emptied and is now set up as a giant trap, like a pitcher plant attracting flies.
Mei Wu Niang continued, "Furthermore, the old mastermind also dictated the hiding places of more than twenty immortal skins. It is said that they were all highly skilled, some were preserved from the past, and some were captured in recent years. Oh, and one of them was a true immortal. But I only recorded the locations of sixteen of them, probably because Aunt Zeng's memories began to fade."
The memories of the newly deceased are not preserved for a long time and are incomplete.
After she finished speaking, she reported all the locations one by one, and Nie Xiaolou casually wrote them down.
The safest and most convenient way for the Heavenly Demon to descend is not through demonic puppets, but through the bodies of immortals. Therefore, these dozen or so immortal skins are extremely precious, not to mention that one of them is the body of a true immortal.
Both Mu Guo and Cang Yan felt like they had won the lottery once they received this news.
Nie Xiaolou noted it down and then asked, "What other information is there?"
"The old mastermind also orally described the formula for a medicine called 'Qianchang,' which uses eleven ingredients." Mei Wuniang blinked. "He looked very serious and said that this medicine was passed down orally from mastermind to mastermind and was never written down."
Nie Xiaolou's expression turned serious, and he pressed for an answer: "Are you sure it's 'heartache'?"
"Yes." Mei Wu Niang was suspicious. Judging from Nie Xiao Lou's expression and tone, this prescription seemed to be more important than the hiding place of the immortal's skin? But she didn't ask any more questions.
"You heard all eleven ingredients?"
Mei Wu Niang nodded and explained everything.
Nie Xiaolou even confirmed the prescription with her again before putting it away.
"anything else?"
“That’s it.” Mei Wu Niang shrugged. “The old mastermind was on his deathbed. He was barely breathing after saying those words and died less than ten breaths later. And, and Aunt Zeng’s memories were clearly missing quite a few fragments, so I couldn’t record them completely.”
Logically speaking, it's already quite good to get this much information from a dead person's head; we can't ask for more.
Nie Xiaolou smiled:
"I do not believe."
His intuition told him that Tong Yiyi hadn't told the whole truth.
Behind these three words lies a great terror.
Mei Wuniang exhaled and said in a deep voice, "I know that whether I make any demands or not, you can find a reason to kill me."
If your life is in someone else's hands, don't expect their mercy or trustworthiness.
Yes, it is charity;
The absence of such a thing is the norm.
Even facing death, the girl remained calm, without clinging to any illusions. Just as Nie Xiaolou was about to speak, Mei Wuniang interrupted, saying, "Give me a dagger."
dagger?
Nie Xiaolou casually tossed her a small knife.
He wanted to see what tricks this little girl was up to.
But then Tong Yiyi grabbed a weapon and stabbed herself in the arm, making a sharp cut!
Then she dropped the dagger, pursed her lips, and picked a small thing out of the wound.
Another pearl?
No, those are wax pellets the size of pearls.
She handed the wax pellet to Nie Xiaolou, a sigh escaping her lips. This meant the end of her espionage career.
The latter took it and casually cast a cleansing spell to remove the bloodstains from the surface of the wax pellet, revealing a layer of sealant on its surface.
Once opened, this sealant will disappear automatically.
"what is this?"
She bit her lip: "This is a message from the Nine Nether Emperor to you."
The other party has already deduced that she is Cang Yan's spy, so there's no point in denying it anymore. Besides, Nie Xiaolou has also shown up in person. She should seize the opportunity and fight with all her might for herself and for the safe delivery of that most important intelligence to Jiu You.
Nie Xiaolou paused in his play with the wax ball.
The title "Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds" is truly prestigious.
"You mean, for the sake of a mere spy like you, the Nine Nether Emperor secretly kept a message?"
“This is a letter from the Nine Nether Emperor himself. He wrote it in front of me.” Mei Wu Niang shrugged, accidentally aggravating her wound and wincing in pain. “The Emperor instructed me to use this sealed wax pill at the last moment. If you don’t believe me, just open it and take a look.”
If she was telling the truth, what kind of message did the Nine Nether Emperor hide in the wax pill? Nie Xiaolou pondered this in her heart, but did not open the wax pill. Instead, she gently placed it aside.
Mei Wuniang watched his movements, feeling a sense of foreboding.
This guy surnamed Nie is cunning and shrewd; I wonder what he's plotting.
But she already knew in her heart that although the wax pill of the Nine Nether Emperor was prepared for those in power, it did not mean that the other party's reaction would necessarily be as he expected.
For example, Nie Xiaolou deliberately ignored her gaze and instead said to her:
"No rush, let's finish our business first."
Mei Wuniang provoked him: "You dare not look?"
"Since it's a personal letter from the Nine Nether Emperor, I should still give him some face." Nie Xiaolou smiled, clapped his hands lightly twice, and someone came in from outside.
"Take care of Miss Tong's wounds; she is seriously injured and has lost too much blood."
"Yes."
Then two people came in carrying a medicine box, treated the wounds on her hands, and fed her two pills.
It was excruciating pain again, but it was pain caused by disinfection, which she could bear.
The medicine from Qinggong was indeed effective; when applied, it felt cool and refreshing, and the pain was quickly relieved.
After another dozen or so breaths, both her hands went numb, the burning sensation subsided temporarily, and her whole body felt as if it were immersed in warm water, which was actually quite comfortable.
Mei Wu Niang had been fighting against the hellish pain with all her might, but now that the pain had suddenly disappeared, she was overwhelmed with exhaustion and longed for a good night's sleep.
This is also the instinctive reaction of someone who has just experienced great hardship and terror upon entering a safe environment.
But, that's not right!
This is not a safe environment!
Mei Wu Niang had a couple of alarm bells ringing in her heart, but her head was fuzzy and her eyelids felt incredibly heavy.
After a short while, she lowered her head slightly, and her breathing became long and deep.
Youth Health Report:
"The wound has been treated. My lord, she has entered a meditative state."
The "entering samadhi" here does not refer to regulating one's breath, but rather to entering a state of tranquility.
"Whatever the Nine Nether Emperor's letter said is irrelevant to the present." Even if the Nine Nether Emperor's secret letter were effective, it would only work on those who had read it. Since Nie Xiaolou hadn't read it, it had no effect.
Therefore, Tong Yiyi is now like meat on his chopping board, he can mold her into a ball or flatten her as he pleases.
Most importantly, Tong Yiyi's taking out this wax pill shows that she still longs to live and is not truly ready to die.
Very good, this is the breakthrough in her defenses, Nie Xiaolou has found it!
After taking out the wax pill, Mei Wu Niang's expression calmed down considerably. Did she think that this wax pill could really make the Qing Palace National Preceptor of Bega hesitate to act?
too naive.
