Chapter Ninety-Four: Camellia Flowers All Over the Ground
As soon as Ning Hao's words were finished, the two of them standing at the mouth of the waterfall like stone sculptures moved. Yun Cheng seemed to have accepted his fate, and slowly put down the bronze sword in his hand, and the arm of the ancient sword held high by Zhang Luoguan also slowly hung down.
Although the sound of the rumbling waterfall was loud, due to the close distance, the conversation between Yun Cheng and Zhang Luoguan was still faintly transmitted.
"Zhang Luoguan, if you promise me one condition, I will help you enter. ”
"Cloud City, you can say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you fulfill your last wish. ”
"I want you to come out of there and go to Yuntai Mountain to save my senior brother Yunhe. His body is in the back room of my room. ”
Zhang Luoguan paused and said, "Our Zhang family has been pursuing this land full of golden camellia flowers for generations, and we should have more information than anyone else. I've never heard that a person who comes out of it can save the dead, and I don't want to lie to you, I can't do that. ”
"The people in that place are omnipotent, and they can definitely save Yunhe. If you don't agree, I'll fight with you. ”
Yun Cheng shouted hysterically, and suddenly raised his bronze sword and slashed at Zhang Luoguan. Zhang Luoguan dodged, Yun Cheng's body shook a few times, and he fell to the ground stiffly, motionless.
"Yuncheng lost too much blood and was already dead, and Zhang Luoguan won without a fight. It's time for us to make a debut!" Zhou Huawen said as he stood up, intending to rush out to deal with Zhang Luoguan.
Ning Hao grabbed him and said, "Don't move, that wound shouldn't kill anyone." Don't underestimate this old boy in Yuncheng, he is ruthless under his hands. Your two female apprentices were killed by him with a broken knife, and they were killed with two knives, which is more powerful than professional killers. ”
"What, he killed my two apprentices?" Zhou Huawen exclaimed.
"You fucking be quiet, don't you want to die?" Ning Hao said fiercely in a suppressed voice.
Zhou Huawen exhaled a long breath to suppress his anger, glared at Yun Cheng who was lying on the ground and said in a low voice, "I originally thought that Hao Ye had killed my two apprentices. You killed them deserve to die, I didn't think it was in the hands of this old Taoist, and I will see if I don't break him into thousands of pieces. ”
"Don't speak. Ning Hao glared at him fiercely and turned his head to look at the mouth of the waterfall.
Zhang Luoguan picked Yuncheng with an ancient knife, and his face suddenly showed a hideous look. Probably worried that the effect of the living sacrifice would not be achieved, he threw away the ancient knife and carried Yuncheng towards the stone gate.
A large dark mark on the ground at the gate of the gate must have been stained by the blood of the living sacrificers in those years. And now it's about to bleed a little more.
"Let's get on quickly, it'll be too late for him to go in. Zhou Huawen said eagerly.
As soon as his words fell, Zhang Luoguan let out a miserable scream. Then Yun Cheng flipped off his shoulder, his arm clasped his neck upside down, and the dagger in his hand kept stabbing him in the back.
Yun Cheng stabbed and pushed the others forward, shoving his head directly into the shocking gate.
The stone guillotine on the gate seemed to smell the smell of human blood, crunched softly, and fell suddenly with a thud.
The first half of Zhang Luoguan's whole person was pressed to the ground by the guillotine, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and a large piece of blood splattered onto the stone gate, and Yuncheng was also sprayed all over his face.
The stone door next to it was instantly pulled open as the stone gate guillotine fell. A stone gate appeared in front of him, and a stone staircase inside meandered out on the mountain wall, and there was a cliff at the turn.
Zhou Huawen rushed out with a whoosh, and Ning Hao hurriedly rushed out and grabbed him in the vest.
Yun Cheng heard the sound, his body froze, he didn't look back at all, and rushed directly to the stone gate.
At this time, Ning Hao had already grabbed Zhou Huawen's back, pulled him back and said, "Don't go over, let him in if he wants to go in." ”
In this way, Yun Cheng, covered in blood, had already rushed into the stone gate.
As Cloud City entered, the stone guillotine slowly rose. The stone door also fell, and there was a loud bang, and it closed tightly.
Seeing that Yuncheng had entered the stone gate, Zhou Huawen shook off Ning Hao's hand and stomped his feet angrily, "Master Hao, you are too kind to a woman." We could have stopped Yuncheng just now, now it's up to you to save Lin Xuechu. ”
Ning Hao took two steps back, beckoned to Zhou Huawen and said, "With such a bloody entry method, it's not a good thing to go in." You stand beside me and get out of that yellow circle. ”
Zhou Huawen twisted his neck and glanced at him, looked down at the ground, and sure enough, there was a yellow line.
Although it was strange, Zhou Huawen still walked out of the yellow line and stood beside Ning Hao and said, "Master Hao, we have spent so much effort to come here. Isn't it too stupid to give up the opportunity in order not to hurt Yuncheng, you can't save Lin Xuechu now, you will regret it for the rest of your life. ”
"If you want to sacrifice the living with blood, enter the land full of golden camellias. It's nothing to make Lin Xuechu in a coma for the rest of his life. ”
Ning Hao turned around and hugged Lin Xuechu, gently stroked her face, and then raised his head and pointed above the stone gate and said, "Xuechu, have you ever seen the sky burial? If you don't like to hear it, I'll help you cover your ears." ”
Zhou Huawen looked in the direction of his finger, and at the top of the huge stone gate, two bald bird heads were looking down at them curiously. At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew from behind the Shimen mountain wall.
After the whirring of the wind, a large vulture with a wingspan of more than ten meters flew from the side of the mountain wall with a humanoid object in its mouth. Kankan stopped within the yellow line. The yellow line seems to be a moat, making it insurmountable.
The vulture's yellow eyes glared at them, and its mouth let out a few strange screams.
The humanoid figure was dressed in a robe and had a snow-white beard. fell to the ground, and his face was facing Ning Hao and Zhou Huawen. It was actually Cloud City that had been pecked out of the stomach, and the internal organs in the stomach had disappeared without a trace.
"How so? Is this always a big scam? But why did the emperor come here and get out safely. ”
Zhou Huawen's eyes widened, secretly thinking that he was fortunate not to enter the stone gate just now. If Ning Hao and Lin Xue Chu entered, it would definitely be the end of Cloud City now.
The big vulture screamed a few times, casually picked up Yuncheng again, and turned around to grab Zhang Luoguan's body that was cut in two. Flapping his wings, he disappeared behind the large stone gate in a moment.
Ning Hao pointed to the yellow circle and said,
"Look at this yellow circle, even on the mountain wall. The owner of this place must have drawn such a circle as a feeding ground for the big vulture. The stone gate falling down is a signal to eat. Didn't you notice that there was a lot of blood on the inside and outside of the stone guillotine, but not a single bone. This indicates that the previous corpse was also eaten by something. ”
Holding Lin Xuechu, Ning Hao looked at the mountain wall again. The two little vultures were gone. He smiled slightly and continued slowly,
"I thought it was strange just now, so I looked around and happened to see a few little vultures above the gate. ”
"Master Hao, you are really a god, I didn't expect this at all. But the emperor had a successful precedent, so how can this be explained?"
Zhou Huawen was amazed, but still felt that some things didn't make sense.
"As soon as you enter the land full of golden camellias, you can be the emperor of people. If the blood sacrifice of the living dared to do such a brutal thing, it would not be long before those people were overthrown. Which emperor who established a century-old empire is not a meritorious one. Therefore the one who enters the stone gate must die. ”
Ning Hao was in the underground fortifications, and he also stayed in the hall where the map was engraved for a while, and glanced at the murals on the mountain wall.
The founding emperor and the famous characters on the mural are all capable of both ability and political integrity, and they govern the country well. There are no characters like Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Yang of Sui, and Overlord of Chu.
The people of this place must have the power to make people emperors. But this cliff waterfall is definitely a slaughterhouse used to trap and kill the most evil people.
Reasoning in the opposite direction, those words written on the stone gate are to be a test of human nature, good and evil.
If you have withstood the test, you will naturally not die, and if you can't stand it, you will get the same fate as Yuncheng and Zhang Luoguan.
Ning Hao didn't bother to tell Zhou Huawen these thoughts, and said to Xu Xiaonan, who was dead on the ground, "Go and bury him, let's go up the river." ”
"What can I do upstream? I think it's a scam. Zhou Huawen muttered and dragged Xu Xiaonan over, and kicked off the cliff directly.
Ning Hao frowned, secretly thinking that this Xu Xiaonan was not a good thing, so just throw it away. Holding Lin Xuechu horizontally, he walked through the golden camellia. He let out a long sullen breath and said loudly with a laugh,
"Zhou Huawen, you are stupid. In fact, we have already reached our destination after crossing the stone bridge. Don't you see that the whole valley is full of golden camellias? ”
