Chapter 62: Dead Soul Pipa
Teased by Philotas like this, Hephaestion smiled, and could see that the extraordinary-looking general had a good temper, and glanced at the smiling Alexander, and the general patiently explained, "If we can find a way out tonight, we will have to withdraw overnight, and there must still be a vast sea of sand when we get out of here, I want to bring more fruit and food in case we need it." β
"Where did you get all this fruit and food?" Ptolemy asked, surprised.
"The waitress inside got it for me." The handsome guy just has an advantage, even the female warriors of the Ama Sect who put aside the personal feelings of their children can't resist such charm, and in such a moment, they actually "won" a maid.
Of course, everyone knows that Hephaestion can "take" the female attendant, not by his peerless appearance, but by General Heda's three-inch tongue, for Hephaestion's eloquence, no one in the army is dissatisfied, all the way to the march, logistics and military needs basically rely on Hephais's mouth, other generals collect food and pay by one color of military conquest, and General He's is different, he relies on that serious, heart-to-heart, endless mouth, with the most gentle way to collect military supplies, as a logistics support general, The Greek coalition army has a long front that stretches for thousands of miles in the past few years, and there has never been a shortage of food, and he can be described as a logistics general with extraordinary ability.
A few of the little warriors who followed him took the bags of packages from behind Hephaestion, and Philotas tapped the packages twice and muttered, "To be beautiful is to have an advantage." β
After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at the Nine Maidens of Moor, and Jiu'er did not show weakness and made a grimace at him.
In this way, the group looked for an escape route all the way "not serious, not nervous", and along the back garden of the palace, everyone came to a very open place.
But the night was too dark to see the road under their feet, and they only felt stumbling, thinking that they had stepped on a stone or a wooden stake, so everyone quickly slowed down to avoid falling.
"This shouldn't be an exit, the road is too difficult to walk, but it looks like a deserted field." Seleucus said.
"We should go that way," Perdicas pointed to his right.
But the words of the generals did not stop Alexander, who was still groping his way forward, "The most unlikely place is the most likely miracle." Alexander reminded the crowd that no one could doubt Alexander's judgment, and after several years of expeditions, the men had seen the young chief's extraordinary wisdom and god-given luck, especially in the nick of time, and the king had never made a mistake.
The soldiers followed closely behind the king and walked slowly.
The castle that was left behind was flickering in the dark, with the dark wasteland background of the back garden, revealing the atmosphere of the forest, the main hall of the castle was about seven or eight hundred meters away from the wasteland in the back garden, and the distance was not far or close, in order not to alarm the female warriors in the castle, everyone did not dare to use any means of lighting, and could only support each other to walk in the dark.
The two girls just supported these Jiu'er, for fear that their young lady would make a mistake, Mo Jiu simply closed her eyes, these two girls were finally so conscientious, she wanted to enjoy it.
The road under the feet became more and more bumpy, from time to time there were soldiers who tripped over obstacles, and walked for nearly two hours, and the clothes on the soldiers were soaked, and this section of the road was really not easy to walk.
But what was worse was that everyone looked back at the main hall of the castle where they had fled, and it was still standing seven or eight hundred meters away, and after two hours of walking, even if it was slow, it would not be in place.
Alexander finally gave up moving forward, stood where he was, glanced sideways in the direction of the Nine Female Shrines of Moor, and said gently: "The Imperial Maiden, there is something strange here, have you found anything like this?" β
By the glimmer of the pitiful few stars in the night, Mo Jiu, who was standing behind Alexander, looked at the king's face that looked more sultry in the dark night, the perfect facial contours of the carving, although he couldn't see the specific facial features, but there was a faint starlight on the pair of soft lips under the peach blossom eyes under the sword eyebrows.
"What is King Alexander asking you? What are you staring at our king stupidly? Philottas reminded maliciously.
Mo Jiu turned his head and glanced in the direction of Philotas, and said angrily: "You are everywhere, how do you know that I am looking at the king?" Could it be that you have a pair of night vision eyes? β
"I'm guessing, look at the direction of your head and know you're looking at the king."
"Okay, you two are still messing around at this time, what are the nine female priests of Moer asking you? Did you find anything weird? Seleucus stopped the two from continuing to mess around, as a royal priestess, a Syrian witch, such a strange situation should be discovered by ordinary people.
But Mo Jiu didn't find anything unusual except that he intuitively felt that it was strange here, "It seems that it can only be a big move." Mo Jiu said in a vague manner, such an important moment is an opportunity for everyone to see their own skills.
Jiu'er stood in place and closed his eyes and concentrated, once again mobilizing the Yin-Yang Technique, hoping to use the Yin-Yang Method to find any "flaws".
Just when Mo Jiu, the female priest in front of the imperial court, closed his eyes, and all the generals looked at the female priest with bated breath, a strange voice rang twice, and then disappeared, the voice was very low and low, but everyone heard it extremely truly.
Ling'er grabbed Mo Jiu's hand tightly, and her voice trembled a little: "Miss...... Did you hear a voice just now? β
"Shh Mo Jiu shook Ling'er's hand vigorously and motioned for her not to speak.
All of them pricked up their ears and waited for the sound to come again.
Finally, at the end of the darkness, the voice sounded again, this time from far and near, from light to heavyβa curling lute that sounded so pleasant that the generals breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Jiu'er heard the sound of the piano and her heart froze, her pupils widened, and she saw the powerful yin qi spread out in an instant, and the fog was all over the place in the dark, and there were yin spirits here! Or a powerful dead soul!
"It's the Divine Comedy 'Penthesilea'!" Seleucus was the first to react, the Macedonian generals were all familiar with music, the quadrennial Olympiad in addition to sports competitions and very important music competitions, the generals were frequent guests on the championship table, although this piece has been lost for a long time, but Seleucus still heard it.
"How can anyone play a song here, or is it this almost lost Divine Comedy?" Seleucus muttered to himself.
Mo Jiu glanced in Seleucus's direction and casually prompted, "This pipa note is looking for a master of rhythm who can harmonize with it, since you can hear it, let's play a song with her." β
Seleucus looked at me hesitantly, believing that his face was full of question marks.
"If you can make it right with her, maybe she'll tell us the way out." Jiu'er nodded affirmatively to Seleucus and looked at Alexander, and the king nodded at the same time for Seleucus to try.
Seleucus reluctantly pulled out the flute on his waist, he had heard that General Sai's flute played superbly, and today he can finally feast his ears, but the scene is a little terrifying, in such a desolate dark night, facing the black fog that does not know whether it is a human or a ghost or a demon The opponent ensemble, the corner of Jiu'er's mouth gently raised a smile.
Bowed his head and silently recited a spell, a talisman appeared in Jiu'er's palm, raised between his fingers, Mo Jiu quickly pasted the psychic talisman on Seleucus's back, although General Sai knew the rhythm, but after all, he was a mortal, and he could not communicate with the other party through the rhythm, and Jiu'er had to help him at the critical moment.
In an instant, the sound of the flute was in the same place as the pipa chord on the dark side, and the two instruments merged into one tone without contradiction, lingering and intertwining in the air, the space was foggy, and time seemed to be slowed down by the music.
Jiu'er also closed his eyes, but unconsciously opened the eyes of heaven, Seleucus was immersed in the change of rhythm, and the faint moonlight poured on the handsome and indifferent face of the young general in white, a picture of a beautiful man on a moonlit night.
Forgetting everything around him, the corners of Jiu'er's mouth rose to enjoy the beautiful music, the two sides have been testing each other's details, and finally the other party began to tell the truth.
Suddenly, the air moved quickly, one, two... There were at least dozens of things moving quickly in the dark, not human breath, Jiu'er opened his eyes suddenly, and white shadows kept jumping up in the dark night - it was a cat! Egyptian cat with leopard print on white background! Not alive..... Cats, are ghosts!
Jiu'er's palms suddenly oozed sweat, and she opened her mouth wide to stare at the more dazzling white lights in the darkness.
These cat spirits are circling around a central point, and a pipa is suspended in the middle, as if someone is holding the lute, flickering and hazy.
I don't know if it was the surrounding cat spirits that dazzled Jiu'er's eyes, or if everything was true, the figure of that person looked like a huge leopard cat with a white background in a trance, and when Jiu'er hesitated, an extremely pale and beautiful face drifted above the cat shadow and then retreated.
There are many ghosts in life, but this one really scares Jiu'er.
Mo Jiu looked at Alexander beside him in shock, the night seemed to be brighter at this time, it may be that those white cat shadows played a role in illumination, Wang was enjoying the music with a smile, a mortal could not see the ghost in front of him.
The horror at this time is only enjoyed by Jiu'er alone.
Swallowing and spitting, Jiu'er decided to listen quietly, after all, she Mo Jiu is not an ordinary person, and such a fright can still be calmed down.
The other party's intentions were already obvious, Seleucus did her a favor, and when Seleucus completed the task, she would personally escort everyone out of the desert.
Seleucus was asking her who she was and why she believed her words, but she was reluctant to tell who she was.
Seleucus is too grinding, no matter who she is, as long as she can take everyone out of the desert, Jiu'er reached out and turned into a bamboo flute and joined the music chords.
On a night with only a faint moonlight, a beautiful man and a "beautiful woman" played a pair of pipa in the open air, playing the music of the world that has never been seen before or since.
Jiu'er asked, "How do you need us to help you?" β
Pipa: "Are you a human or a ghost or something... Why can't I feel your magnetic field. β
Whether it's a human or a ghost, there is a magnetic field, which is why sometimes you feel a chill in your back, because you feel the magnetic field of "it", even if you don't show up.
Jiu'er said: "I don't have a magnetic field? How is this possible? β
Mo Jiu now felt the cold wind around her, and she could feel the magnetic field of others, and of course she Mo Jiu also had a magnetic field.
However, the cold wind that just hit? It's not the white-on-white cat just now!
It's a different breath!
Pipa hurriedly said, "She's here, see you at the same time tomorrow." β
This was the last sentence that Pipa left for Mo Jiu.
The music came to an abrupt end.
"She's coming? Who's coming? Seleucus looked at Mo Jiu, Mo Jiu shook her head, she didn't know what the last sentence of the pipa meant.
The yin qi grew heavier and heavier, and a familiar feeling rose from the back.
"Your Majesty Alexander, the Queen, please return to the bedchamber." Everyone turned around suddenly, and more than a dozen female warriors of the Ama Sect were already standing behind them in an instant.
It's been discovered! It seems that he can only obediently follow back.
These samurai exude a cold yin aura from their bodies.
The group reluctantly followed the female warrior of the Ama Sect back to the dormitory, and everyone knew in their hearts that they didn't want to escape tonight, and they would ask the "pipa" how to escape tomorrow.
It was obvious that the group of warriors just now were not human, but Jiu'er couldn't figure it out, the attendants in the main hall, including the queen, were all normal humans, could it be that people were allied with ghosts here?
I can't care so much, I've been tossing for most of the night, so let's go to bed first.
