Chapter 90: The Trap of the Scheme
"Sister He, don't go, I don't want you to have an accident!"
Early in the morning, when Ouyang He walked to Lu Lingxuan's side with a sword box on his back, Lu Lingxuan suddenly grabbed her sleeve and said reluctantly.
"Lingxuan, I warmed the chicken soup for you last night, remember to drink it while it's hot later! Trust me, I'll be back soon. ”
Ouyang He leaned down gently, and as he spoke, he gently wiped the beads of sweat from Lu Lingxuan's forehead with his handkerchief.
"Why, I treated you like that before, why are you still so good to me?" Lu Lingxuan's eyes were a little filled with tears.
"Because, I understand that everything you do is involuntarily! And, for the sisters you care about, isn't it normal to do this? Ouyang He smiled sweetly at Lu Lingxuan, and then she walked quickly to the place where she had agreed with the eagle.
It didn't take long for Ouyang He to arrive at the entrance of the relic camp. To her surprise, there were no Lieyang Sect disciples waiting in line to "welcome" her, but only an old man with pale sideburns guiding her into the depths of the underground ruins.
After walking through a dark and secluded descending staircase, Ouyang He's eyes suddenly opened up, and huge stone pillars supported a vast underground space like a square.
"It is rumored that in order to keep this lonely underground temple from outsiders, thousands of skilled craftsmen selected from all over Kyushu have all been sunk to the bottom of the sea by the owner of this temple." Just as Ouyang He was amazed by the scene here, the eagle spirit had quietly walked in front of her at some point, "Since then, no one knows the true identity of this owner, and even whether this person really exists is a matter of opinion. ”
"Your Excellency asked the little girl to come over today, I'm afraid you don't just want the little girl to be a competent listener, right?" Ouyang He tidied up his clothes, and then asked Ying Wei in a chic manner.
"Well, she is worthy of Xuanyuan Ji's daughter, she is really smart." Eagle Spirit walked to Ouyang He's side as he spoke, "Until this power in your body begins to awaken, I am actually half-convinced of your identity. ”
"Now that you know, what are you going to do next?" Ouyang He continued to ask the Eagle Spirit without any fear.
"Hehe, don't worry, I won't do anything to you, otherwise I won't drive away the waste from Lieyangmen." Eagle Wei brought his dark mask face to Ouyang He's ear, "As long as Miss Ouyang helps me get something, I will immediately hand over the antidote to Lu Lingxuan's poison to you." ”
Although Ouyang He felt uneasy about the actual intentions of the eagle ray, in order to get the antidote, she had no choice but to follow the eagle ray helplessly to a round stone door in the depths of the underground palace.
Despite the weathers of history, the dust-covered stone doors still have exquisite carvings. After careful observation, Ouyang He recognized that the stone gate was carved with the images of a dragon, a phoenix, a unicorn and a xuanwu according to the distribution of the four directions. But the pattern in the center looked like a beast but not a beast, but it made Ouyang He feel a sense of déjà vu.
"This stone door depicts the story of the legendary four ancient divine beasts working together to suppress the fierce beast Qiqi." With a deep voice, Eagle Ray explained to Ouyang He, "Strange is an unusual ancient beast, it is rumored to have wisdom and strategy, and it is good at playing with ordinary people in the palm of his hand. ”
"Oh, could it be that Your Excellency is trying to compare himself to the poor?" Ouyang He asked with a cold eye towards the eagle dragon.
"This ...... Who knows, hehe! Eagle replied with a sneer, and then he motioned for Ouyang He to put the scabbard of the Dragon Soul Sword into the jack of a stone platform in front of the door.
When the shape of the scabbard perfectly fit the groove in the jack, Ouyang He turned the scabbard vigorously according to the prompts on the stone platform. And with the sound of the next gear turning, the huge and heavy stone door in front of the two of them slowly opened.
Next, Ouyang He inadvertently touched the groove on the side of the wall in this pitch-black stone room where he couldn't see his fingers. After trying to touch the liquid in the groove with her fingers, she found that the groove was filled with viscous grease.
After thinking for a while, Ouyang He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and took a torch from the eagle's hand to ignite the grease in the groove, and the raging flames suddenly lit up the entire stone chamber like a swift fire dragon, along the groove embedded in the stone wall.
Then, against the backdrop of the surrounding firelight, Ouyang He saw at a glance that on the square stone platform in the center of the stone room, a peerless divine bow with a bow body shaped like a flame was shining like a flame, lying quietly on a stand made of refined iron.
"This feeling is so warm!" The closer Ouyang He approached the location of the Divine Bow, the more he felt that the true qi in his whole body seemed to be merging with a comfortable warm current from the outside world.
Just as Ouyang He was walking slowly towards the Divine Bow as if she was being guided by something, suddenly, she felt a sharp stabbing pain in her heels, and then she collapsed to the ground unsupportably due to the gradually strong feeling of weakness throughout her body.
"I told you I wouldn't do anything to you, but I can't promise anyone else!" Eagle Spirit said proudly to Ouyang He.
"It seems that the ability of the bone erosion scorpion is really not small, and it actually put down the invincible Miss Ouyang He, hehe, it's really disappointing!" Ouyang He, who was lying on the ground, slowly raised his head, and followed the voice of his voice to see the enchanting woman who had fought with him who was standing beside the eagle at this moment.
"Are you...... The ...... of the Yeongcheon Cave House Tiger Charm, you ...... Who exactly is it? Ouyang He asked the two of them with a weak and unwilling tone.
"The Dry of the Netherworld, the Kun of Purgatory, the Holy Sect is immortal, and the Divine Cult will live forever!" Eagle Eagle walked to Ouyang He's side with words in his mouth, and then squatted down and put his face to Ouyang He's ear, "You can call us - Hades Sect." ”
"Solution...... Medicine...... This? Hurry up...... Antidote...... Give me! Ouyang He stretched out his hand in front of the eagle with difficulty, and asked for the antidote with a trembling voice.
Eagle Spirit disdainfully threw a white vial in front of Ouyang He. However, just as Ouyang He was full of joy and was about to reach out to get it, the eagle suddenly stepped on Ouyang He's right palm.
"Ahh The sudden severe pain made Ouyang He cry out instantly.
"Hmph, if someone doesn't want you to die at the moment, I will definitely give you back the humiliation that Xuanyuan Ji brought us back then, little by little!" Eagle Spirit continued to step on Ouyang He's right hand as he gritted his teeth and said to him.
Then, just as the Tiger Charm was about to step forward and take off the Divine Bow after sneering at Ouyang He, a black figure suddenly jumped into the room quickly, quickly dodging the Tiger Charm's hand and knocking it to the ground with one palm.
Seeing this, the eagle also rushed forward with a circular saw, but he was also unexpectedly defeated in front of this mysterious master.
"Let's get on it!" With a roar of rage, he and Tiger Charm attacked.
However, even if the two of them joined forces, they were still in the fight and soon lost to the mysterious person in front of them. Especially in one of the internal force competitions, the two were even completely suppressed by the internal force of this person.
"This force...... It was the Tiangang battle spirit that was in the martial arts back then, and no one could match it. I didn't expect you to be alive! The eagle seemed to quickly recognize the identity of the masked man in front of him.
"It's not suitable for a long time here, let's withdraw first!" At Tiger Charm's suggestion, the two of them quickly left the underground palace, but as they walked out of the gate, Tiger Charm ignited the gunpowder placed near the palace gate. With the next loud "boom", the entrance and exit of the dungeon were soon completely blocked by the blasted stones.
"Are you sure you're going to trap them here?" Tiger Charm still seemed a little worried.
"Rest assured, the ruins of this palace are the same as the famous ghost castle in Shuzhong, designed by their common owners to have only one entrance. Therefore, Ouyang He and the lonely ghost who should have died can only obediently accept their fate inside. All we need to do next is to give a timely return to the Lord. Eagle looked confident in the conversation with Tiger Charm, and the two of them left the camp briskly.
In the underground palace, the mysterious master carefully helped Ouyang He, who was paralyzed at the moment, to sit down, and then sent internal strength to help him expel the scorpion poison from his body.
After more than an hour of hard work, the scorpion venom in Ouyang He's body was finally discharged. However, just as Ouyang He wanted to turn around and thank her life-saving benefactor, the mysterious master fell unconscious.
I don't know how long it took, the mysterious master gradually woke up, and when he was about to get up, he found that he was wearing Ouyang He's coat.
"Hey, senior, are you awake? Do you still feel cold? Ouyang He walked from not far away with a warm smile holding some scattered wood collected from all around, and immediately added these pieces of wood to the bonfire that had just been lit.
"Ahem, is that the Phoenix Yin Bow? It's the first time I've seen it in my life. The mysterious master looked at the phoenix bow on the stone platform and said to himself.
"Senior, I still have some dry food stored in my sword box, you can eat a little first, come!" After Ouyang He finished speaking, he put the entire bag of dry food he brought in front of the mysterious master.
After the two coexisted together in relative silence for a while, Ouyang He plucked up the courage to ask the mysterious master about his true identity.
The mysterious master took off the mask on his face without thinking, and it turned out that he was the mysterious old man who was in a wheelchair before, called "master" by Liu Tianxue and Xiao Yao, and his identity was a mystery.
"Senior, I heard from the Lieyang Gate that Miss Liu and Brother Xiao are from the Tianji Gate, and they call you "Master", ...... "Ouyang He tried to ask the old man the question in his heart.
"You guessed right, I am Zhu Suifeng, who should have died back then, the former master of the Tianji Gate." The old man stared at the flickering flames in the fire, and calmly told Ouyang He his true identity.
Not long after the old man said this, he suddenly began to cough violently, and at the same time the whole person seemed to be weaker than when he was in the cave.
After Ouyang He asked anxiously, Zhu Suifeng finally told her that he had taken the "Chasing Sun Pill" before coming here, which is a special medicine that can increase people's internal force several times in a short period of time, but after that, it will cause irreversible damage to people's meridians and blood vessels, and it is very likely to accelerate the failure of the person's whole body organs.
Ouyang He was stunned and didn't know what to say after hearing this, but at this moment, her reddish eyes had already begun to flash with crystal tears unconsciously.
"I'm just an ordinary woman, I don't deserve such a sacrifice from my predecessors!" Ouyang He tried hard to convey his internal force to the old man to relieve his symptoms, and said to the old man tremblingly with a little crying.
"No, since you inherited the 'Emperor Soul Qi' in Ji'er's body, your fate is no longer ordinary. The old man forcibly asked Ouyang He to stop the transmission that seemed meaningless at this time, and at the same time immediately turned around and looked at her and said with a serious face, "You are the heir of the bloodline of the Ancient Yellow Emperor, and there are some things that you can't escape no matter what." ”
"So, senior, you...... Know where I came from? Ouyang He asked Zhu Suifeng with some disbelief.
"Yes, your father Xuanyuan Ji is him...... He used to be a member of the Tianji Gate. At that time, he was the "killer" among the "Eight Guests of the Heavenly Machine" under the seat of the Tianji Gate, and he was also the "Black Shadow Judge" who crisscrossed the rivers and lakes and everyone was terrified, and his martial arts status was extraordinary. It's just that when he was in his prime, he got acquainted with the second lady of the Su family, who was a huge wealth in Shuzhong, everything changed. Zhu recounted her father's life to Ouyang He with the wind, and she slowly fell into the memories of the scene.
