Law of the Devil

As soon as I heard this voice. Du Wei's brows were first tightly frowned. Then he stretched out and was silent for a while, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was slightly mocking: "It really surprised me, I haven't heard your voice for a long time. It's so sudden. It's really shocking." Jump."

He turned slowly. behind. A pretty figure was suspended there. Bright red robe. Silver hair like silk. The appearance is beautiful, but the eyes and the expression on the face seem very cold.

"I thought you would only come out when I called for help." Du Wei raised his eyebrows: "Long time no see. Should I call you the magical creature Semel? Or should I respectfully call you 'Zeng Zeng' Where's great-grandmother?"

Semel's face sank like water. It seems that he doesn't care about Du Wei's two ridicules. His eyes are cold. But with a slight strange look, she glanced at Du Wei, shook her head and said: "I told you, no matter what, you are a descendant of the Luo Lin family, and you always call for help. You have fallen into the reputation of the ancestors of the Luo Lin family .”

"So what about you?" Du Wei stared at the other party: "Dignified Semel, the legendary astrologer in mainland China. My great-great-great-grandmother deliberately faked her death and sealed herself in an oil painting. Isn't it very majestic? ?”

The eyes of the two people intertwined. It seemed as if a series of sparks were stirred up, after a while. Semel lowered his head: "You...know?"

"I found out later." Du Wei said lightly: "I found out later. It turned out that the magical creature running around in front of me with its calves exposed was actually my great-great-great-grandmother, Mr. Grandmother. You can't hide it. I am so miserable."

"How did you know?" Samel's figure seemed to tremble a little.

"Life." Du Wei's voice was very serious: "When I was young, I might have been deceived by those words about magical creatures, but now...at least I know the true meaning of power levels, hum. Create a brand new life. It is not what Semel can do! Unless it is above the god level. For example, the ancient demon gods. Only then can they have the ability to create life, and my great-great-great-grandmother. Although she is the number one astrologer in the mainland. But To create a life. I'm afraid it's not something you can do. So... I began to understand from that time on."

Having said that, he deliberately paused. There was a flash of light in his eyes, staring at the other party in front of him: "You, you are not some magical creature, you are my great-great-great-grandmother, Semel herself!"

silence……

Du Wei's last words. It made Semel's face a little moved, but she didn't immediately refute or argue. After a moment of silence, her expression gradually became somewhat obscure and gloomy.

a long time. A soft sigh: "I... I only found out later." There was a hint of sadness in her smile: "When I was awakened by you, I really thought I was just a magical creature. But... In fact, I am not, I just let myself die, and then I put a few seals on myself, until later, the seals were gradually released. I gradually recovered the memories of the past, and slowly understood ...me. So it was me."

"Why?" Du Wei shook his head: "Why do you want to do this?"

Semel's face was a little dazed: "I don't know. The seal I gave myself was not completely released. I still have part of my memory. I can't get it back completely, so I have a lot of doubts. I don't understand it myself. "

Du Wei thought for a while: According to the legend, this great-great-great-grandmother died because of her sad husband. Later, he died in depression, which after all involved some sad things and privacy of the other party. He didn't want to ask too many questions, so he shook his head and said, "No matter what. You... haven't shown up for a long time, I thought. You've already found a way to get away from me, and you left long ago."

"I... I'm sorry." Samel seemed to be apologetic: "You have encountered several crises, but the level of strength is too different, and I can't help you. So, I didn't show up. You go to the overseas island When... I... I..."

"What’s wrong with you?"

"I dare not show my face." A deep fear suddenly appeared in Semel's eyes. She didn't know where this fear came from, but it was palpable: "That guy named Chris, his There is an aura that frightens me. When you face it, I don’t know what’s going on, and all the courage in my body is drained. I absolutely dare not show my face in front of it... I don’t know what happened to it Things. I probably haven’t seen this Chris before. But when you face him, I can feel the aura that makes me fear. That kind of fear makes me breathless, and I can’t even breathe Don’t dare to move.”

Du Wei frowned.

"I still have part of my memory that hasn't been recovered. Some seals haven't been released." Semel sighed: "I don't know what's going on, I try to get a body for myself again, it seems that there is a way in my memory. Can So that I can truly be resurrected, instead of maintaining a state of a spirit body like I am now."

Speaking of which. She shook her head vigorously, her face suddenly stiffened, and she glanced at Du Wei. His tone also became indifferent: "I don't need to explain this to you. In short...the map you see in your hand now. But I can recognize it. It was drawn by myself back then."

"You?" Du Wei wondered, "How did you get this kind of thing? This is a royal secret, how could you get it? And why did you leave such a thing behind? What is the purpose?"

"I don't know." Semel shook her head, her expression was calm: "I can't answer your question myself. The only memory I can remember is that this map is indeed drawn by myself, and I recognize me. My own handwriting. As for why this thing is in the planetarium... I think. It was probably when I was the owner of the planetarium for a short time. It was quietly kept there."

Du Wei's eyes lit up: "Yes, this makes sense. You used to be the owner of the museum in the past, and you were also the chief astrologer of the palace. Only as the chief astrologer of the palace can you have the opportunity to enter and exit The imperial palace! But...the secret passage leading to the White Tower is..."

Semel stared at Du Wei: "If you want to know the answer, why don't you go in through the secret passage?"

Du Wei's expression changed immediately. Suddenly staring at Semel, his tone became serious: "I remember, you are not a person who likes to take risks and do such absurd things! There is a large team of court magicians guarding the White Tower. It is said that there is also a The powerful magic circle left behind by Gong, and...Although there is a secret way to enter and exit. But in the palace, is it possible to enter and exit at will? This involves the biggest secret and iron law of the royal family. Once something happens... It's a lot of trouble!"

Semel raised his eyebrows indifferently: "But. My memory tells me that this thing seems to be very important. When you got this map, I recognized it. Immediately remembered something, I don't know how Yes, I have a faint feeling. There seems to be something very important to me inside the white tower that is the last guide on this map.

perhaps. I can undo all the seals on me because of this. "

Du Wei curled his lips: "I don't want to cause trouble, no matter what is in the White Tower. This is the secret of the royal family. I don't want to provoke the royal family at this time-I have enough things to worry about now."

Semel wanted to say more. But look at Du Wei's face. But suddenly laughed. Deliberately said leisurely: "Then why didn't you just destroy this thing? Why did you store it so carefully? Didn't you make up your mind. Thinking about it in the future... Hehe, Du Wei, don't waste time, I can I know your temperament too well. This kind of thing. Since your curiosity has been aroused, if you don’t follow this secret path to go in and have a look, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to sleep at night! Okay. It’s still early .You still have time to prepare. We can set off in the evening."

Du Wei stared at Semel, after a while. Only then sighed helplessly: "Okay. You win."

the time of day. There used to be many visitors in the Duke's mansion. They are all nobles in the imperial capital. Hearing that Du Wei is going to the front line soon, he came to visit the future front line commander. Lala relationship. Say goodbye.

But Du Wei never sees outsiders.

During the day. Du Wei closed the door. Had a good night's sleep. After getting enough energy, I got up in the evening and prepared some things and tools. After thinking about it, he finally didn't tell Vivian and Qiao Qiao about it. Otherwise, with Jojo's temperament of fearing that the world will not be chaotic, he must be arguing to follow.

He promised to go to the secret passage to have a look. I just want to satisfy my curiosity, and don't really want to do anything, but if I take Qiao Qiao there, maybe there will be some troubles.

In the evening, when the clock strikes ten. It was exactly ten o'clock, this time. As usual. All the entrances and exits of the palace will be closed and locked.

One hundred regiments of the imperial forest army began to follow the route of patrolling. Patrolling around in the huge imperial city. And after ten o'clock in the evening. The gate of the palace is closed, unless it is a major military and state matter, otherwise. Even the prince and princess. They are not allowed to enter or leave the palace.

At this time, it was on the northeast side of the imperial city. From the side of the diversion canal behind the imperial city, Du Wei took advantage of the cover of the night. A body-tight black attire. The cat stooped and ran to the ditch. He listened to the movement around him. Then he walked into the ditch cautiously, he didn't jump directly. Because I was worried that diving would make a sound of water.

This diversion canal is an artificial river brought into the imperial city from the Lancang Canal. In daily life, the water in the imperial city comes in and out of two such diversion canals, and one enters. one out. If you encounter wartime. This diversion canal can also act as a moat.

The two diversion canals surrounded the imperial city in the middle from both sides, leaving only a large imperial city square in front of it - the place where the first prince launched the coup d'état.

These two diversion canals were built a thousand years ago and have been renovated several times in later generations. Underground waterways, old canals plus new canals, the diversion channels are intricate. There are also some old channels that have been renovated by later generations. The height of the terrain changes, and it has dried up and is no longer used.

After Du Wei submerged in the ditch, he swam for a while. It went underground, and the water under the canal was still very cold this season, but it was nothing to Du Wei's perverted body.

Dive all the way down. Soon I swam through the open section of the canal and arrived at the underground canal. And this time. At the mouth of the canal in front, there is a solid iron fence blocking the way down the canal.

This is also a protective function, otherwise. How can people swim in this canal casually in the majestic palace?

Du Wei dived into the water, swam to the fence, held hands and squeezed, the iron fence was covered with rust, but each iron fence was as thick as an arm, Du Wei held it with both hands, with his current strong physical strength, Seeing the two iron bars in the water slowly deforming in his hands, they were quickly twisted and bent.

icy water. It was dark all around, Du Wei lost his sensitive perception ability, even though he had brute force, he couldn't see the road around him clearly. Luckily there was Semel. Semel is a spirit. But it is not afraid of the dark. Under the guidance from time to time, Du Wei was behind the culvert. Passed several undercurrents and crossed a full six fences.

This canal is really old, although the river is cleaned every year. But after all, it's in the dark ditch below. It has accumulated a lot of stains. Du Wei swam all the way over. Although I am not afraid of the cold, the smell is really uncomfortable.

Finally, under the dark ditch. When he arrived at a place where the water was slightly lower, he surfaced and took a deep breath. He felt dizzy, and his body was stained with a few green algae and the like.

"In front, after the left turn. There will be a sealed subway door on the wall. After unscrewing it, it will be an old canal that has been abandoned."

After listening to the instructions directly from Semel in his mind. Du Wei smiled wryly: "The palace looks very glamorous on the ground. How could it be so dirty under the water?"

Semel sneered in his mind and said: "This canal is for daily water, and it is only used by the servants in the palace for daily scrubbing and cleaning. The real drinking water in the palace is clear water brought from outside the city. Of course there is no water. People care if it's clean or not."

After turning the bend, the canal has been transformed into several sub-canals, but the mouth of the canal is much narrower. That size is definitely not something that humans can drill into. This is also natural. After all, this canal can enter under the palace, and this design is also for safety reasons.

but. Under Semel's guidance, Du Wei found a small subway door on the wall. The iron gate was in disrepair for a long time. The locks on it were all rusted to death, not to mention that there was no key, even if there was a key, it couldn't be opened.

Du Wei could only pull out the dagger he carried on his body. Cut the lock. But when I pushed, the door didn't budge.

At this time, Semel smiled wryly: "I just sneaked over to see... It's not the problem of the gate. It's the back of the gate. Some parts of the old canal collapsed, and the supporting stone slabs that fell down blocked the gate. You have to find a way to cut the door open to get in." .

Du Wei snorted: "This kind of old antique stuff. If I knew it earlier, I would be in trouble."

He was too lazy to cut with a dagger. At this time, his current strong body showed more and more benefits. He raised his arms and exhaled lightly. With a strong force, there was a muffled sound, and his hands were inserted into the iron gate!

With a violent shake of his hands. There was a crunch. The iron door was pried open by him.

immediately. A stream of gravel and dust rushed in from inside. Du Wei coughed a few times. Splashed with water. He took out a luminous pearl from his bosom and threw it in. Under the dim light of the luminous pearl, the old canal between them was extremely narrow. I'm afraid it's only one meter wide. If it wasn't for a slender man like Du Wei, it would be a brawny man with a slightly thicker figure. Never try to climb in.

The old canal inside. I don't know how many years have passed since no one cares about it, and the air in the passage is turbid and full of dust. Occasionally, rats could be heard creaking, so Du Wei had no choice but to bite the bullet and crawl inside.

Crawling in this uncomfortable posture is about several hundred meters long. The terrain in front was only slightly opened up.

In the dark night, there is silence in the imperial city, except for occasional distances. A troop of guardsmen on patrol. Pass by with a torch.

This place is a slightly remote side yard in the imperial city. live here. Naturally, it can't be the real royal nobles, but the residences of some well-known court men and women servants and officials.

Outside this yard, there was originally a fountain, but the fountain was connected to an old canal. Since the old canal was abandoned, the fountain was naturally abandoned, and it had been leveled long ago, and a flower garden was built.

At this time, in the dark, in the flower garden. The ground turned suddenly. After turning up a piece of black soil. Du Wei dragged a stone slab with both hands. Quietly drilled out.

"Don't worry. The patrolling soldiers have already passed and are heading north. The nearest patrolling soldiers are five hundred meters away from you."

In his mind, Semel reminded Du Wei.

Du Wei snorted... Semel has such an advantage. She can already do it far away from herself now. And her spirit body. Ordinary people can't see her, and now Du Wei has lost his keen senses. But there was Semel scouting around. I'm not afraid that someone on patrol will suddenly approach me but I will be caught off guard.

After squatting in the flower garden for a while, Du Wei stared at the building in front of him for a while—this is the place!

In the evening, Du Wei and Sammel were in the study at home. I have studied that map for a long time.

Although marked on the map. There are several secret passages leading to the White Pagoda under the imperial city, but after all, they were a thousand years ago, and now... With the passage of time, things have changed. There are a few secret passages, although you know the exact location, but you can't even think about entering them!

for example. Du Wei recognized it, it was marked on the map. There is an entrance to a secret passage, which is in a side hall on the southwest side of the imperial city - when it was built a thousand years ago, the southwest of the imperial city was a place where horses were raised, and it seemed easy to sneak in...but now. However, Du Wei knew that that place had become a barracks for the Imperial Forest Army!! He wanted to enter from there. The difficulty is probably not low.

And there are other places, such as the entrance to a secret passage marked on the map, next to the Royal Garden, which was originally a house for storing gardeners' tools. But later, because Prince Chen liked the view of the garden, he transferred that house and re-expanded it—— {see that place is Prince Chen’s study! Want to go in? Is it possible?

Only in this place in front of you is the entrance to a secret passage. In the evening, I researched this place before departure. Du Wei marked according to the drawings. Plus his memory of the terrain in the current palace. I remember that this place is now a place where some court servants and court officials live, and the defense is not strict. Perhaps it is a good place to sneak into the secret passage.

He stayed in the garden for a while, and then he waited. Make sure there are no human voices in the building. Then he rushed out quickly. Body ups and downs. Just like a breeze. Floating into the building under the eaves.

"Hmph, your magic has regressed now, but your martial skills have grown a lot." In his mind. I don't know if Semel's words are a compliment or a sarcasm.

Du Wei didn't say a word, but sneered in his heart: "Nonsense. Since I lost my magic, I have been recuperating at home these days. But I have honed my martial arts skills. But he couldn't even summon the Moonless Five Light Armor and the Jidu Luohou Bow, so he could only make himself a subway bow that looks similar to it."

After sneaking under the eaves, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and there was a clear and clear sound of tinkling under the beams, and Du Wei suddenly shook. Look carefully. Only then was he relieved. But I don't know who hung several strings of wind chimes here.

The building was deserted, but it seemed that no one lived there, only after Du Wei walked in. But there was a faint smell of perfume for women.

I'm afraid that the place of residence is a palace maid or hou.

Du Wei frowned.

In the huge building, four or five rooms were divided on both sides of the corridor. Fortunately, the layout of this place was expanded on the basis of the old house, and the pointing place on the map can barely be recognized.

Braving his waist, he ran through the corridor and came to a window, but Du Wei suddenly frowned and stopped.

As indicated on the map, the entrance to a secret passage seems to be here...but. Standing outside, but vaguely heard. There seemed to be the sound of someone breathing gently inside, that sound. As if sleeping soundly.

"Someone?" Du Wei frowned.

Unlucky...there is no one in the other rooms. But this is the entrance to the room. And someone is sleeping in it? And. It smells faintly. Appears to be a woman.

"Knocked her out." Semel said lightly, "Be careful not to show any traces."

Du Wei snorted. Just about to turn over and go in, suddenly there was another crisp movement of wind chimes under the eaves behind him, and then. The sound of breathing in the room suddenly paused. There was a rustling sound, and then. There seemed to be footsteps, as if someone got up from the bed.

After a while. In the room, candles were lit, and a woman's figure was faintly reflected on the outline of the window.

"Ah...these lazy guys, they forgot to put away the wind chimes at night. You have to scold them well tomorrow."

The voice of a woman inside sounds sweet and pleasant.

Du Wei cautiously leaned over the window, and waited quietly for a while, hoping that the woman would turn off the light and go to sleep again, but after waiting for a while, she heard the sound coming from the room. The girl seemed to have put on clothes, but she sat at the desk under the windowsill and sighed softly. But I heard the sound of rattling papers—she actually got up to read in the middle of the night?!

Du Wei's head began to sweat.

He is not afraid of other places. Instead, sneak into the palace at night, if someone discovers his identity. That's a lot of trouble. With his current strength, he wants to go out with a big swagger. It's not difficult, but you have to go in and out quietly. It is a bit difficult to keep people from discovering their identity.

this woman. Don’t read it in the morning and don’t read it in the evening, but you are awakened by the sound of wind chimes in the middle of the night, and you actually read the book... Isn’t this killing people!

Du Wei was anxious outside, but the woman in this room was leaning on the desk, using the candlelight. Turn the pages. But it seems to be obsessed with watching, and I don't know how long it has passed. Suddenly, a long sigh was heard inside. That crisp and pleasant voice. Suddenly he said in a low voice: "It's such a 'I only hate being a woman. It's not the time'. I'm afraid I don't know how to explain to the princess tomorrow what the Duke of Tulip said."

Yi?

Suddenly hearing the girl inside say the words "Duke Tulip", almost made Du Wei break out in a cold sweat. Then I was full of suspicion—what books did the people inside read? Could it have something to do with me?

I heard the girl inside turning the pages of the book. But he murmured to himself softly: "Unfortunately, I once heard those court teachers talk about this Queen Sofia, and everyone seems to be a little bit disapproving, but this Duke Tulip is her bosom friend, and she only hates Queen Sofia's early birth." For hundreds of years, the Duke Tulip praised her, but she couldn't hear it anymore."

As soon as Du Wei heard this. Suddenly a thought flashed through my mind!

This woman is looking at the notes of "General History of the Mainland" written by herself!!!

In the fourth volume of the "Continental General History" of the empire, it is recorded that when the Roland Empire was founded about 500 years ago, there was a change in the royal family. Mother, and the royal family of the Roland Empire has several other ambitious princes. At that time in order to fight for the throne. Caused some disputes.

It was the wife of the emperor who died of illness. One is Queen Sofia. When you are in trouble, stand up. And this Queen Sofia. Born into a large noble family. Relying on the background power of her natal family. Finally, the situation was stabilized, and he crowned his son as the emperor. The emperor was too young to govern, but this Empress Sofia was quite talented. He actually united with the power of his natal family and took charge of the state affairs of the empire. It's been nine years!

In the history of the Roland Empire. The evaluation of Queen Sofia is not very good, because after the young emperor grew up. He once had a dispute with her over the issue of power. Just because of tradition. After growing up with the emperor. Voices from all over the empire hoped that the emperor would be in power. That Queen Sofia finally surrendered her power. Just less than half a year later, Yu Yu died of illness.

When Du Wei was reading this period of history back then, he learned about some records from the side. During the reign of Queen Sofia. The country is quite stable and healthy. The people are also very happy. It's a pretty good family. And that Queen Sofia is very courageous by nature. Even braver than ordinary people! During the period, there were southern nobles who refused to accept the ruling of a woman and wanted to set off a rebellion. She used a series of ways to win over and divide them. And then wiped out one by one, the political skills in it, I am afraid that even those old politicians who have been in office for a long time can feel inferior, and for the few princes who once competed with her son for the throne, she also dealt with them one by one very strategically. Those who are stubborn will be hit hard, those who should be shut down should be exiled, and those who are finally subdued. The authority was cut off. Raised with an empty title of glory. to show his kindness.

pity. In her later years, she seemed to be obsessed with authority and was unwilling to delegate authority to her grown-up son—but in Du Wei's view, this was also a normal human reaction.

not to mention. Her means of governing is much more sophisticated than that of her later son. After Queen Sofia died of illness, her son came to power and suppressed and weakened the mother's family. Cruel wrist, that's fine. But that emperor was really a fool, during his reign. Several rebellions broke out in the northwest. Even the south is full of bandits.

After reading this period of history, Du Wei was so interested that he casually wrote a paragraph of his own emotion at the back of the page:

"I only hate being a woman. It's not the right time! There is a lot in my heart. If there is a good opportunity, I am afraid that this woman will not be inferior to Wu Zhou!"

Thinking of this in his heart, he immediately understood: the woman in this room. What I read was the set of "General History of the Mainland" that I wrote notes on!

But. This set of general history of the continent. It was given to the little emperor and Princess Karina by himself as a gift for apprenticeship. how come……

at this time. The girl in the room seemed a little distressed, and murmured, "It's a pity. I understand what I said before. But what does Wu Zhou mean by the following sentence, 'Don't leave Wu Zhou'?"

Du Wei felt helpless...

Wu Zhou... probably no one in this world knows what it means.

The woman in the room naturally didn't know. The so-called Wu Zhou. It was very famous in the history of China in Du Wei's previous life. It was Wu Zetian who was known as the number one strong woman in ancient and modern China, who briefly replaced Li Tang and claimed to be the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

As a result of my own interest, I wrote down some random things when I was studying, many of which I am afraid only I can understand, and others will read it. Naturally, I was at a loss.

at this time. Then I heard Semel's impatient voice in my head: "I can't wait any longer! There is a group of guards coming here! There are still four hundred meters! Force the window to go in, and don't let her make any noise!"

Du Wei was taken aback, and then his heart froze. He climbed up to the window sill with one hand. I have to force the window to go in!

No matter what, after entering, knock her out first!
