Dragon and Willow 1: The short-lived Hades

Linzhou suburbs.

The door of the Stygian Spring Villa was closed, and a man in black clothes stopped outside the door on a fast horse, jumped off the horse, picked up a bag of things and jumped to the gate, raising his hand and knocking on the door heavily: "Open the door!" Fast! ”

Soon, I heard the creaking sound of the door opening, and it was two young girls in Tsing Yi who opened the door.

The man shoved something in his hand into one of the hands: "The thing has arrived!" ”

The other party looked serious, took the things and walked quickly inside, and the maid who was left behind looked at the man: "Lead the horse to the back and come in through the Hou Gate." ”

The man nodded in silence and turned back to mount his horse, while the maid closed the slightly heavy door.

Let's just say that another maid solemnly carried the bag of things and quickly walked through the corridors, walked to the deep house, and finally walked into a garden, and went around a few steps to the back of the rockery, and rotated a rockery, and the flat grass suddenly sank, and a tunnel appeared. The girl in Tsing Yi walked briskly, and before long, the tunnel disappeared and the ground returned to its original state.

The tunnels are narrow and long, and torches hang on the walls on both sides, illuminating the environment inside. The maid walked briskly down the stairs, walked forward along the tunnel, turned a few corners in the middle, and finally, pushed a dark grid, and a stone door opened, forming a road, much more spacious than the one she had just walked.

The maid stepped in, and suddenly felt the flames, and all kinds of heart-rending sounds kept echoing in her ears.

After walking a few more steps, I saw a lot of torture instruments, braziers were placed everywhere, and the fire was burning inside, shining on the wall one after another dense shadows, and on both sides of the aisle, there were men in strong suits, holding torture instruments in their hands, constantly torturing the bound prisoners, and the various wounds on the prisoners' bodies were washed with blood, and the injuries were shocking.

The air was scorching and scorching, and there was an unpleasant smell of blood.

However, when the maid passed by this place, she didn't even blink her eyelids, not only did she not squint, but her expression was not moved in the slightest.

At this time, the steward who commanded the execution greeted him: "Ouch, isn't this the April girl?" Why did you come to us? ”

April was still in a hurry, and his mouth responded: "Important things have to be handed over to Meng Po, so I have to take a shortcut from you." ”

When the steward heard the words "important things", his face changed slightly: "What the girl said, it must be the ...... we have been waiting for."

April hummed, ran, and left in an instant.

The steward stood there looking at her back, looking stunned for a long time, and then clapped his hands and laughed: "Great! Ye is saved! ”

April was in a hurry, but he still heard the surprise of the steward from behind.

The corners of her lips curled involuntarily, and she grabbed the bag in her hand.

Through this hellish long and large punishment field, the miserable cries of the tortured were gradually thrown behind, and the suffocation and smell of blood in the air also dissipated, and April looked ahead and saw an exit.

She ran a few steps, and the whole person rushed out of the exit, and the world in front of her suddenly became larger, the sky was very high and blue, green trees, and all kinds of flowers, and not far away, you could see the waterfall as if falling from the sky, glowing with silver light. With a slight sweep of his eyes, he saw a plank road in a mountain forest, extending upwards little by little.

The Stygian Spring Villa is on the outskirts of Linzhou City, but it is built by the mountain, and the entire mountain behind it belongs to the Stygian Spring Villa, because the perennial fog is around, half-covered and half-hidden, many people often get lost when they enter it, and there are few people who can come out smoothly, even if they come out, most of them are stupid. Therefore, the people around this mountain only think that this place is weird, and after a few accidents have happened here, no one dares to go to the mountain again. Who knows, it's all related to Stygian Spring Villa.

In and out of the house, there are all maids, all of whom are handsome, some are responsible for sweeping the floor, some are responsible for planting flowers and watering, and some are cooking...... Each performs its duties and is very orderly.

When April entered the gate, he asked a sweeping maid, "Where is Meng Po?" ”

"At the master's place."

When April heard this, he hurried to a small building, and was just about to go upstairs when he saw an old woman with a few maids coming down from it.

"Meng Po!" April was overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted him, presenting the things in his hand: "Meng Po, the things have arrived!" ”

Meng Po's face was still full of melancholy, but when she heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, and she didn't speak, so she directly took the things in April's hand, opened the cloth outside, and saw a box inside.

Meng Po excitedly took the lingzhi in her hand, squinted her eyes and examined it carefully, and finally a smile appeared on her face: "Yes, yes!" That's it! ”

She looked at April: "Let people prepare immediately." Use this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum to boil the medicine! ”

April nodded heavily: "Yes!" ”

Zhang Luo opened it immediately, and soon, the medicine was boiled.

April carefully took the decoction, followed behind Meng Po, and returned to the small building.

The top floor of the small building is an attic, specially made warm pavilion, called the warm pavilion, but there is no warmth inside, as soon as you step into it, you can feel the biting chill.

There were other maids in the room, and when they saw Meng Po, they saluted respectfully.

Meng Po beckoned them to get up and walked straight inside.

On the bed in the inner chamber lay a thin figure, facing inward, with black hair spread out on the pillow like brocade, and a jade-white ear peeking out from between the hair, the outline was very delicate, but not as small as a woman. Suddenly, the person on the bed let out two soft coughs, the voice was not rough, but pleasant, but not a woman's voice.

Meng Po bent over, stood still at the head of the bed, and said, "Master, it's time to drink the medicine." ”

The room was so quiet that you could hear a needle falling, and Meng Po's voice couldn't help but be much softer.

However, after a while, the person on the bed moved, and then a soft, low, magnetic voice was heard: "Huh." If you can't save your life, it's useless to drink too much. ”

Meng Po was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Master, this time it's a decoction with a medicinal primer." Someone who can save his life. ”

Hearing this, the person on the bed paused, and then suddenly got up and turned his head, and this turn of his head instantly made everyone present feel that all the good things in the world were immediately dimmed.

He looks like he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, his body looks weak, and his face is very pale, but he has a handsome face, with red phoenix eyes, slender eyebrows and eyes, a high nose bridge, and his skin is as white as jade.

I saw that the slender eyebrows and eyes showed slightly: "Meng Po, what did you say?" ”

"Master, the thousand-year-old Lingzhi has just arrived. It has been used to make a decoction. ”

Meng Po said, signaling to April behind her, April understood, and brought the decoction over.

The man looked at the decoction, and slowly, the corners of his mouth hooked a charming arc, and his eyes were radiant and radiant.

After the servant man drank the medicine, in order to give him a good rest, Meng Po ordered everyone to wait outside the door without disturbing him, and he left with April.

Out of the small building, Meng Po instructed: "The remaining part of this thousand-year-old Lingzhi will be placed with you, and it will be prepared into pills when you go back." Let Long Ye take it regularly. You know? ”

April bowed her head and replied, "Yes, Meng Po." I'll do this well. ”

"Hmm." Meng Po nodded: "Now, Long Ye's illness has not yet found a way to save him, this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is the only life-saving straw, as long as he can continue Long Ye's life, maybe he can wait until the day when he finds the cure." So, this thing is very important, and there can't be any mistakes. You are steady, I am more assured. Don't let me down. ”

April was originally a shrewd maid, but now that Meng Po has said this, she naturally didn't dare to be negligent, and nodded solemnly: "Got it, Meng Po." ”

"That's good."

While the two were talking, they passed through a corridor, and just past the backyard, where several washermen were going outside to wash their clothes by the river.

Coincidentally, I heard their voices.

I heard one person say, "Eh, have you all heard?" It seems that the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum has been found ”

"Of course I did. The April girl came over with Ganoderma lucidum, and the news spread as soon as possible. Meng Po immediately asked people to boil the medicine. It is estimated that at this moment, Long Ye has already drunk. ”

"In this way, isn't Long Ye saved? That's great! ”

"It's good. Don't get too excited, though. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"I've heard that Master Long's disease was brought out in his mother's womb, and no matter how much the former Lord Long and Mrs. Long Ye tried everything, they couldn't cure him. It is said that if there is no cure, you will not live to be 20 years old. ”

"However, didn't the former Long Ye find the Sacred Valley Valley Lord for Long Ye before he died? It is said that he is the most powerful doctor in the world, and there is almost no one she can't save. In the past two years, she has regularly come to see Long Ye, and asked people to find a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, doesn't that mean that there is a cure for Long Ye's illness? ”

"You don't know that way." Someone immediately jumped out and retorted: "Even if he is the valley master of the Sacred Valley, he is just an ordinary man, can he really rob the Lord of Yama for his life?" Although she has regularly come to see Long Ye in the past two years, and she has also asked people to find a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, it does not mean that she can cure Long Ye's illness once and for all. I've heard that it's just a way to extend the life of Lord Long, and if you want to completely cure it, there is no way! ”

"Huh? How so? ”

"What do you think?"

Someone sighed, "Alas." It's ironic. Our Dragon Master is the master of this underground rivers and lakes, since the former Dragon Master passed away, he is the current Lord of Yama. However, he was a short-lived Hades......"

"yes. is obviously in charge of the life and death of so many people, but he is a short-lived Hades...... You say, could it be that it is because they have been so manipulative of human life for generations to inevitably create evil, and they have touched the sky, so they have placed a curse on this generation of dragon masters? ”

A few people turned around the corner while laughing, and suddenly bumped into Meng Po and April who were standing there, and immediately trembled all over their bodies, and the wooden basin with clothes in their hands fell to the ground, and some accidentally hit their feet, and the tears fell out in pain, but they didn't dare to say a word, they endured it, the cold hair on their backs stood up, and they knelt on the ground with their bodies trembling, and buried their heads low: "Meng, Meng Po is so ......"

Meng Po's face was gloomy, and she didn't speak for a long time, obviously she didn't get angry, but this look was even more frightening, a few maids knelt there, their faces were pale, as if they had endured Ling Chi, fidgeting, and complaining in their hearts.

April stared at these maids coldly with low eyes, but because Meng Po was here, even if she was angry, she refrained from reprimanding herself.

Meng Po glanced at them coldly and asked April behind her: "When did the rules of this Stygian Spring Villa become so loose?" A few maids who wash clothes have such the audacity to talk about the master's affairs behind their backs? ”

April said: "Meng Po is relieved, and I will punish them severely immediately. ”

As soon as they heard that April said that they would be punished severely, the laundry maids trembled violently and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Meng Po and April were indifferent, and even Meng Po said: "Such a person can still rise to the position of a laundry maid." The housekeeper who brought them up was also clueless. ”

April immediately understood, and said, "I will immediately remove her authority from the deployment of maids." In addition, I demote a person to the laundry group. ”

Meng Po hummed, glanced at the maids who were still kneeling on the ground, and left directly.

She didn't blame them the whole time, but it was more like a sound than a voice, and as soon as she left, they collapsed to the ground.

April sighed: "Obediently follow me to receive the punishment." ”

*

On the other side, the dragon ghost who stayed alone in the place lay on the bed and squinted for less than half a pillar of incense, suddenly turned over, crossed his hands to support the back of his head, and the beautiful Danfeng eyes looked at the top of the bed quietly, not long after drinking the decoction, but his body was a lot better, it seems that what Zhao Ning said is right, although this medicine cannot be cured, it can still alleviate the symptoms to some extent.

However, if it is not cured, what is the use of just prolonging life?

He tilted his head and glanced at the environment in the room, he had been sick in the room since he was a child, and he had never seen it in the outside world. And the previous "Hades" before him had already traveled south and north for many years at this time.

He couldn't help but think of what Zhao Ning said, occasionally go out to breathe and breathe fresh air, and listen to things like that.

Then, the corners of his mouth hooked.

Three days later.

When the family dragon ghost left a book and ran away without warning, this unexpected situation shocked the entire Longquan Villa, and Meng Po immediately asked people to find his whereabouts.

At the same time, he himself believed that the horse was swimming and walking......
