Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Assassination of Snow Mountain

Ning Ge sensitively sensed that something was wrong with Gu Lun, but in the dim night, he couldn't even see what kind of expression Gu Lun had on his face.

"What's wrong?" Ning Ge was puzzled, always feeling that Gu Lun seemed to have something to hide from her.

"No, let's go." Gu Lun said softly.

Ning Ge thought about it, Gu Lun at this time was facing a choice between her and her father and brother, even if she had something to hide, it was reasonable, she woke up slightly in her heart, but after all, she suppressed it and didn't ask anything more. Just follow the mountain line and cross the past, and get to the back of the mountain before it gets dark.

The road became smoother and smoother, and there was a huge clearing behind the mountain, which had obviously been dug out by hand, and there were some simple fences on it, as if the whole mountain had been hollowed out in half.

Probably because most of the people on the grassland live on nomadic herding, and cattle and sheep dung can light fires, so naturally there is no need for people to chop firewood. Therefore, there are a lot of dead branches here, and there are many dead branches and fallen leaves scattered on the platform, and a thick layer is piled up, which shows that people do not come often.

At this time, the moon was rising, and the hazy moonlight was falling, settling between the sparse shadows of the trees. Faintly visible in the depths of the not-so-dense woods, a temple could be seen, which seemed to be half-new, apparently not very old.

Ning Ge was just happy that he finally had a place to settle down at this time, but he didn't care why this temple appeared in this deserted barren mountain.

"Gulun, we have a place to live." Ning Ge said happily.

At first, she only expected to have a bonfire in the cave for the night.

Gu Lun didn't speak, but withdrew his hand from Ning Singer, looked at the dark temple with a complicated expression, and nodded lightly.

"We didn't bring incense, so let's not live in the temple." Princess Gulun hesitated again and again, and finally said it.

Ning Ge half-squinted his eyes and looked at Gu Lun, but Gu Lun suddenly lowered his head uneasily as if he was afraid of being seen through his heart, Ning Ge clasped Gu Lun's wrist and said in a deep voice: "Princess, you have been here." ”

Gu Lun hurriedly shook his head.

"No, I didn't."

"And what are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid." Gu Lun blurted out.

Ning Ge raised his eyebrows suspiciously: "Aren't you afraid?" What is that? ”

Gu Lun knew that he was speechless, lowered his head and muttered: "The rule on the grassland, don't enter the temple without incense, otherwise even if you sleep, you won't be able to sleep peacefully." ”

Ningge: "Oh? With a sigh, his eyes wandered and looked deeply at the temple not far away, and suddenly felt out two pieces of milk cake from his sleeve: "That sacrifice can be regarded as incense?" ”

Gu Lun looked at the milk cake in the singer in a daze and nodded.

Ning Ge was satisfied with the milk cake and picked up some dead branches and entered the temple. The temple is very high, there are few sloppy on the door, I don't know what is written, the moonlight is not bright enough after being blocked by the branches, I can only vaguely see the three statues of gods enshrined in the temple, and I don't know if it is because the temple is in disrepair, when it is blown by the wind, it makes a kind of old wood creaking sound, and occasionally there are one or two sound of iron chains pulling and crashing.

Ning Ge just looked at the outline of the statue very familiarly, and was curious to step forward to see it clearly.

"Light a lamp." Gu Lun suddenly opened his mouth to stop Ning Ge's movements, and took a handful of fire folds that he had with him and handed them to Ning Ge.

Ning Ge lit the lamp, but saw Gu Lun standing at the door, staring at the beam with his eyes.

Subconsciously looked up, and almost screamed.

Above the temple was nothing but a huge ebony coffin, which was being lifted by several sturdy-looking iron cables, which could be suspended under the beams.

Ning Ge took a step back, pulled Princess Gulun and retreated to the door, and said secretly: "Be careful." ”

Princess Gulun obviously trembled slightly when she was pulled by Ning Ge, but she didn't respond to Ning Ge after all.

The lights in the temple became brighter and brighter, and Ning Ge saw clearly that the three statues of gods enshrined in the temple were nothing else, but the three black statues of the three girls.

No wonder it looks so familiar. Ning Ge thought so.

The statue of the three girls is really like the formless and formless as Huang Shi said, the whole body is pitch black, as if the outline of a person is carved out of fine ebony, and then most of the head and face are covered by the folds of the cloak on the body, and there is nothing in the place where the mouth should have grown.

And what shocked Ning Ge was that the three girls seemed to have no hands and feet.

"This is the statue of the three girls?" Ning Ge slowly calmed down and asked Princess Gulun beside her.

Gu Lun's gaze was still on the coffin that was constantly swaying on the beams of the room, and he just nodded for a long time. Gu Lun's eyes revealed a lot of sorrow, and there was a faint distress, and with the apricot eyes flashing with pity.

Of course, the premise is that if the eyes are not reflected in the ebony coffin.

You must know that the feeling of spending a long night with the coffin in the middle of the night is really not good. Ning Ge always felt that there was something strange about this three girls, and when she thought of the side hall of Dafeng Hall that was locked up by Shen Shen, her heart was in turmoil.

Is there something to do with it?

Ning Ge frowned and glanced at Gu Lun deeply, Gu Lun didn't seem to be frightened, but his sad eyes clearly seemed to know the person in the coffin.

"Princess......" Ning Song called softly.

Gu Lun came back to his senses, looked at Ning Ge fixedly, and saw that Ning Ge was safe, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Aren't you afraid?" ”

Ning Ge asked rhetorically, "What about you?" ”

Gu Lun blinked, and suddenly smiled: "Why should I be afraid? ”

Ning Ge moistened her lips and took a deep look at the coffin above: "Who are you in this coffin?" Three girls, who is it? ”

Gu Lun bent the corner of his eyes, and said playfully: "How could Niang Niang not know who the third girl is?" The third girl is the saint of this grassland. She will bless all the women of this steppe with peace. ”

Ning Ge raised her eyebrows: "So, is the consequence of the saint daughter having no arms and legs, or is the saint having no arms and legs in the first place?" Since it is a deity, why is it placed in the courtyard of the Great Wind Hall instead of being enshrined in the house? What's locked in the big wind hall? ”

A man with no arms and no legs.

Why is this scene so familiar?

So that she remembered the words that Huang said in the tent that day.

There is no lingering of hands and feet, how xiaohun it is!

Why does it coincide with the image of these three girls, or are these three girls not a grassland legend, the grassland saint, is clearly related to the phoenix?

If Huang's death is related to ghosts and gods, should it also be related to the source of the three girls?

Ning Ge was aggressive, the smile on Gu Lun's face suddenly stiffened on his face, he looked at the three statues blankly, and said blankly: "Why do you have to come here?" Why do you want to live in a temple here? ”

"Didn't the mother promise me not to go back to the roots?" Gu Lun lost his mind again.

Ning Ge emphasized: "I promised you not to take the initiative to kill your father and brother, but why did you approach me? ”

Gu Lun looked at Ning Ge sideways, and said for a long time: "Does Niangniang think that I killed Huang Qi?" ”

Ning Ge raised her eyebrows: "Isn't it?" ”

"Niangniang thinks that I approached you to borrow your hand to kill the phoenix?" Gu Lun asked again.

Ning Song was silent.

Gu Lun pointed to the three statues of three girls in the temple: "Do you know? The third girl is my third sister. At this point, you do have reason to suspect that I killed Huang Xuan, because my third sister was ruined by Huang Xuan. ”

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly turned around, built a bonfire in the corridor of the temple, lit it with a fire fold, and said lightly to Gu Lun: "Okay, sleep." ”

Gu Lun was stunned: "You don't ask me?" ”

Ning Ge shook his head: "Don't ask." ”

Gu Lun licked his lips and said bitterly: "I hate that I don't have the ability to kill Huang Xuan, if it weren't for the emperor's entrustment, I would rather watch you be unjustly killed." As long as Huang Qi died, the hearts of the three girls would be at peace. ”

"Needless to say. I will do what I promised you. I look at you, and you rest against me for a while. Ning Ge pulled Gu Lun to sit on the edge of the campfire, Gu Lun moved his lips, but he didn't say anything, and fell asleep by the doorpost.

Ning Ge was dozing off, and she didn't know what she was thinking, relying on the warmth of the bonfire, Ning Ge finally found a little sleepiness, and gradually forgot the dark coffin and the three statues of the three girls in the temple.

Suddenly, Ning Ge woke up in a panic, only to feel that there was a dark breath floating around him, and a cold blade came through the wind, but the back of the knife was illuminated by the bonfire, and there was light and shadow, which happened to settle in the corner of Ning Ge's eyes.

Ning Ge was clever in his heart, his heart was beating like a thunderous drum, and his movements were unambiguous, and when the blade slashed down, his body rolled on the spot and moved away from the breath, and he whispered in his mouth: "Gu Lun!" Wake up! ”

Princess Gulun opened her eyes suddenly, and the two collided together, looking up, they were already surrounded by a group of black-clothed people.

Where Ning Ge was sitting and resting, there was a thin man in black, with a long knife in his hand and still maintaining a horizontal slashing posture.

Damn, I must have slept too hard, how could I not even feel so many people approaching?

Ning Ge glanced coldly at the black-clothed people around him, all of them had a strong murderous aura on their bodies, as if they were not human at all. Each held a bright steel knife in his hand, and even the moonlight was not bright.

"Who are you?!" Gu Lun snorted, "I know that I am Princess Xiliang, if you dare to hurt me and wait for a hair, you will definitely die a good death!" ”

The man in black didn't make a sound, and the brush shook the knife and attacked the two of them. Ning Ge took Gu Lun and hurriedly retreated, and by the way, he flew up and kicked the knee of a man in black who was close to him and bent back, the man was caught off guard, but Ning Ge would make such a trick, and he knelt on the ground all of a sudden, so that the man in black behind him was stunned, and he actually gave Ning Ge a chance, and threw Gu Lun into the temple: "Go in and find a place to hide!" Close the door! ”

As soon as the words fell, a knife slashed towards Ning Ge's arm holding Gu Lun, Gu Lun and Ning Ge were both shocked, Ning Ge pushed Gu Lun into the temple with a push, grabbed the door frame and kicked the person sideways, and heard the crisp sound of a bone breaking, and the man in black fell to the ground with a steel knife in his hand, holding his brows and covering his chest, and took two steps back one after another.

These people obviously came for Ning Ge, but they didn't know if it was to prevent Ning Ge from going to find the Borneo flower or because Ning Ge came to this mysterious temple where the third daughter of King Xiliang was placed.

And who is this killer?

Ning Ge and the man in black struggled for a long time, and only after snatching the long knife in the hand of one of them could he barely have a chance of winning. What she used to learn was the moves that cost human life, as well as the endurance beyond ordinary people, but the things that had been abandoned were stimulated in the moment of life and death, Ning Ge was covered in blood, her body shook slightly, and there were two thin men in black standing opposite, one of whom was the one who was going to kill Ning Ge in his sleep with a knife at the beginning.
