Chapter 8: Targeted
Jiang Mingze soon came to the ancestral hall of the mansion and found the heirloom of the Jiang family according to the old lady's will.
It is a delicate sandalwood brocade box six inches long and four inches wide, and it can be seen from the outside that this wood is definitely not new, more or less twilight.
And what is engraved on this box is not a real dragon, a unicorn and other beasts, nor a great good thing such as a Buddha, but a hideous and evil ghost. The devil's hair fluttered wildly, his forehead had two horns, his eyes were slender, but there were no beads, and his nostrils turned up, as if he had been cut off and pretended to be reversed.
Below, the devil's mouth bit the golden lock on the top of the box, and Jiang Mingze rummaged through the altar again, but he didn't look at where the key was. Isn't this playing with people, giving the baby and not giving the key. Could it be that the old lady kept an eye on her life before she died? Let me take the treasure away and keep it for the time being, and then wait for his other children to pick it up?
But then he dispelled this idea, not to mention whether the old man recognized this heart, that is, his state at that time was impossible to convey news to his other sons and daughters. His Majesty the Emperor has just ordered the whole house to be beheaded, how powerful does she have to be to release the news in such a short time?
But where is this key? Jiang Mingze looked at the altar again and again, and then looked at the brocade box in his hand again and again. That's just a slap on the head, obediently, how can you be so stupid?
There must be something strange about this evil ghost's eyes, could it be that two organs are hiding somewhere else? No, if it is a mechanism, wouldn't the use of the key be repeated? Then there is no need to do more.
After thinking about it, since it is the treasure of the family, it must be opened by the clan, and the only thing that can connect the family must be blood. Thinking of this, Jiang Mingze bit the tip of his tongue and dripped blood into the eyes of the evil ghost, making the finishing touch.
As soon as the blood came into contact, the demon seemed to be alive, and its hair was windless. Blood flows down the eyes to the flipped nostrils, and the nose flips to its normal state at this time, and then flows into the mouth.
After making contact with the golden lock, the red light rose sharply, and only a squeak was heard, and the lid of the brocade box opened by itself.
Aze fixed his eyes and saw that inside the box was an ancient book and a medicine bottle.
There are only two words on the cover of the ancient book "Jusha", and there are no words on the medicine bottle. Open it and smell it, good fellow, a strong blood gas rushes to your face.
This kind of breath makes the average person smell it, and they may vomit directly on the spot. But Jiang Mingze didn't care, he practiced in his previous life, and he also had a lot of experience in the blood path. It's just that I didn't expect that this kind of magic would also exist in the world where I traveled through, and that would be really good.
Time had been delayed for a long time, and he didn't have time to think about it carefully, so he put away the ancient books and pills and left in a hurry.
There is a river outside the city, the river is extremely vast, and the old boatman who makes a living here has to row for half an hour to reach the other side, which is also the only way for people in the city to go out and people from outside to come in.
Yes, it was raining heavily at this time, and the shipwreck was naturally busy and took shelter in the dock. Jiang Mingze is now a key criminal in the imperial court, so naturally he can't go to the boat to cross the river openly.
However, he also hid three small boats a little farther away, which he and Lu Chuan planned to sneak out to play. Otherwise, a few little babies will definitely not be allowed to ride alone.
After Aze left the city, he hurriedly came to the location where the boat was hidden before, saw that there was no one around, carefully pulled the boat down to the shore, and pushed it down.
Then he also came to the boat, preparing to escape from this place, but before leaving, he still had to go to see Lu Chuan, after all, he called him the eldest brother for two years, and their secret stronghold was on the mountain across the river.
Jiang Mingze started rowing, and just glanced at the river, which made him break out in a cold sweat for a while. He gently stirred the river again, and when the ripples cleared, he fixed his eyes and realized that he was not dazzled.
What did he see? He looked out of the water and saw a black dragon head above his head. Obediently, isn't it just to kill a few mortals, and as for it, it will be retributed so soon? This dragon head is also too big, if this thunder falls, the whole river will be wiped out.
He swallowed hard, looked up fiercely, and became even more stupid. This is even more striking when you look up. The dragon head condensed by the dark clouds is already eight points similar, two points similar, and it is like a living.
And the distance of the dragon head feels even closer, and the clouds accumulate into rain, but this is condensed and does not fall and naturally sags, and it looks majestic and endless. At this time, Aze was boating on the river of love, there was no romantic atmosphere, but there was a kind of heroic and desolate end, if a song and a cut of plum were sounded at this time, it would really be more appropriate.
At this time, Jiang Mingze was really dumbfounded, and he couldn't feel the situation at all, but he had no other way but to paddle hard, and then he got to the opposite side first. Otherwise, if there is really any martial arts predecessor in the imperial city, or an immortal who guards the peace of the country, then he will be unable to escape.
Now there are really pursuers behind them, and there is a long road ahead, and there is still a thunder hanging on it. Everyone is on top of the sword, and he is also strangely tight, and it turned out to be a thunderbolt. If you think about it a little worse, in this rainy weather, if this boat capsizes?
Jiang Mingze, who has never been so unlucky, can only row desperately, at least the only lucky thing is that although the situation is not good, but any kind of crisis has not broken out, this is also the only lucky thing.
After crossing the river, there was an official road leading in all directions, and Aze walked in the middle of the road, and turned along the official road to a small field where four or five horses were tied.
Jiang Mingze rode on and ran all the way to the mountains in the distance. He didn't know what the name of the mountain was, but he knew that there was a mountain temple there, the temple was not big, and there were few traces of people burning incense, but it was unexpectedly clean. Looking at the beautiful scenery on the mountain, and no one disturbed them, a few children regarded it as their paradise.
Presumably, Lu Chuan and the others should have already arrived there, say goodbye to them for a while, and die in the world. Looking up overhead, there were still dark clouds, and the dragon seemed to follow him, which made him a little unhappy.
Coming to the outside of the mountain temple, Aze shouted, "Chuanzi, are you there?"
He shouted a few times and no one answered, and he was a little strange. At this time, the voice of a childlike child came from outside the temple.
"Brother Ze, Brother Ze, you are here. ”
Jiang Mingze looked back and saw that there were a few children playing with him, but Lu Chuan was the only one missing.
"Little snot, where is Chuanzi, what are you hiding over there?"
The little kid, who was called Little Snot, sniffled, and replied, "Brother Ze, as soon as Chuanzi brought us here, the dirty beggar took him away. ”
"Why, what did you leave behind?"
"I didn't say anything, I just left a sign. You see. ”
The sign that Jiang Mingze handed over as a result had the word Lide written on the front, and the four words named disciple on the back. What does this mean? He wants to be Lu Chuan's master? Why did he leave the brand? Is that for me?
This old thing is not ordinary, he knows that I can come back alive, so he left me a clue for me to find him?
I thought about it for a long time but there was no result, so I simply didn't want to. He turned to the children and said, "Go home first, don't worry your parents, it's still raining, but you're almost stopping when you go down the mountain, let's go." ”
"What about you, Brother Ze?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go back, and we'll see you again. ”
These children didn't worship her like Lu Chuan, they just said goodbye to Brother Ze, and then jumped down the mountain.
Seeing that the children were gone, Jiang Mingze looked at the sky again, the dragon head seemed to be a little sagging, and there was already some electric light flashing in the clouds. Aze returned to the house with gloomy eyes, looked at the mountain god enshrined, and his heart was nameless.
Grandma's why does this mountain god look like a demon asking for his life today?
