Maybe the thing in the sacrificial hand is the key to finding the thousand-year-old dragon tortoise?

Gu Qi lowered his head and thought, if this was the case, then their trip to the East China Sea would be much easier. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Shopkeeper, can you sell me this piece of parchment?" Gu Qi looked at the old man with a pleading look in his eyes. She really wanted to get this parchment, maybe it was just a rough piece of paper in the eyes of others, but in her eyes, it was the medicine that could save the zongzi.

The old man looked at Gu Qi's watery eyes, didn't speak, just looked at her motionlessly, as if judging something.

"Girl, I only ask you, are you really going to the East China Sea?" The old man asked, frowning.

Gu Qi pursed her lips tightly and nodded vigorously, if she hadn't made up her mind, she wouldn't have bothered to come out this time.

"Then do you know the danger of the East China Sea? Do you know that this dragon turtle is not something you can see if you want to see it? The old man asked again.

"Yes, I know." Gu Qi replied firmly: "But I have a reason why I have to go, if it wasn't for this only way, how could I take such a risk, but since it's decided, I must get this dragon turtle shell." ”

"In that case...... the old shopkeeper paused, and finally handed the parchment with the dragon turtle information to Gu Qi: "Girl, you can take it, I hope this picture can help you, as for this silver tael, I don't want it anymore, the old man, just take it as a good fate." ”

Hearing that the old shopkeeper was really going to give her this parchment, Gu Qi was so excited that she grabbed the old man's hand and kept shaking it.

The old man was so made by Gu Qi's enthusiasm that he couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to tell her again and again to let her keep this picture.

Gu Qi nodded, carefully put the precious parchment in his pocket, and thanked the old man again and again before leaving the pharmacy.

With their previous memories, Gu Qi and Yu Chaoyang quickly found Zongzi and them, and temporarily rested in the inn they booked.

Taking advantage of the time to finish eating, Gu Qi secretly showed the new piece of parchment to Jun Yu, and asked Jun Yu to see what the sacrificial hand was?

But Jun Yu only shook his head slightly after looking at it for a long time, and didn't seem to know the thing in the hand of the sacrifice.

"Why, you don't even know this?" Gu Qi looked at Jun Yu with some disappointment, thinking that the well-informed Jun Yu would be able to get a glimpse of it, but looking at the current situation, it seems that even he doesn't know what this thing is.

Jun Yu shook his head, pointed to the thing on the painting and said, "Look, the thing on this painting should be some kind of plant, but looking at its appearance seems to release a certain flavor, otherwise it would not be possible to attract these dragon turtles." ”

Gu Qi nodded, she thought so too, but there were many plants that could release smells, and she couldn't look for them all the same.

"It is imperative that we find out what this thing is for, otherwise I estimate that even if we go to the East China Sea, it will be in vain, and today I learned from the mouth of the old shopkeeper that this dragon turtle grows even in the sea, and only a few locals have seen a trace of it."

Jun Yu held his chin in his hand, thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, since you have found a way to summon the dragon turtle, it will not be too difficult to crack the sacrificial finger thing, since the old man said that the locals regard the dragon turtle as a god, maybe some of them may know what that thing is." ”

"Well, you're right. It seems that we still have to dare to go to the East China Sea as soon as possible. Gu Qi nodded and said, suddenly remembering something and said: "By the way, please don't tell Guihong about this, I don't want him to worry about it, after all, he doesn't know that he has been poisoned so badly." ”

"Are you sure he won't know if you don't tell him?" Jun Yu raised his eyebrows, he didn't think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a simple person, maybe he already knew his situation, so he didn't feel at ease to follow.

Gu Qi pursed her lips, whether the zongzi knew it or not, she didn't want to put things in the open, it was still natural, and some things seemed embarrassing to spread out.

"That's it, no matter what, we'll set off tomorrow, and we must reach the East China Sea as soon as possible." Gu Qi clenched his hands tightly, as if he had made up his mind.

Jun Yu looked at her and didn't speak, if he could, he would rather be poisoned by himself, but he didn't know what the woman in front of him would do at that time.

The next day, before dawn, Gu Qi and the others embarked on the journey again, this time with a new parchment, Gu Qi's face seemed to be more confident.

She didn't even feel like she was humming lightly along the way, and she seemed to be in a happy mood.

Zongzi didn't know why she was so happy, but seeing that she was happy, she didn't say anything more, and leaned against the wall of the carriage to recuperate.

The poison still seemed to work on him, and he also felt that his body was getting worse day by day, and he was getting more and more drowsy.

But he didn't say it, and Gu Qi didn't ask, everyone seemed to choose to forget about this matter for the time being, just waiting for the approach of the East China Sea.

Yu Chaoyang, who had been rushing the car, became more and more anxious day by day, because he keenly felt that there seemed to be some kind of danger approaching step by step.

The carriage had been running for four days, and when it was about to reach the East China Sea, on a secluded road, the horses driving suddenly neighed, which startled the three drowsy people in the carriage to wake up in unison.

"It's not good, there is an ambush around, everyone be careful." Yu Chaoyang, who was driving the car, shouted, reined in the somewhat frightened horse, and pulled out the saber he was carrying.

Jun Yu and Mu Guihong were also in full swing, raising their swords one after another to protect Gu Qi, who didn't know martial arts, in the middle.

The surroundings of the carriage seemed to be quiet all of a sudden, and at some point, a burst of arrows went straight to the carriage rain first, and overturned in a blink of an eye, Yu Chaoyang outside the carriage waved a sharp sword, blocking the sword in front of him to the greatest extent, and the two people in the carriage were guarding against the arrow rain behind the carriage.

But seeing that the rain of arrows in the sky continued to fall, Jun Yu was so angry that he kicked the four walls of the carriage away and yelled, "Who is it?" There is a kind of get out of this king, since you are here, don't hide in the shadows! ”

Sure enough, the rain of arrows around them really stopped, and the four of them stood with their backs together without blinking, ready to attack at any time.

Suddenly, there was a burst of applause in the grass of the carriage, and a group of black-clad masked men ran out and surrounded them.

"Who sent you, don't you know the identities of several of us?" Mu Guihong shouted loudly.

A leading man in black stood up, glanced at the four of them with disdain, and said, "Identity? You are all dead in our eyes! ”
