Chapter 145: Ashes
Heyu was very anxious, and hurriedly said to Shuangdi: "Sister, the ruler is on fire!" Let's get out of here! After we go out, let's go and save Brother Xiao Xun immediately! ”
"But...... But what about these seals!? ”
"Leave that alone! Human life matters! ”
"No...... The Yue Nu people regard these wisdoms as more important than their lives, so how can I let them be destroyed? ”
"But once the fire burns, no one can stop it!"
"Be sure to block it...... Obstruct...... Be sure to block it! Shuang Tu looked at the warriors of the Yue Nu clan with a firm gaze, and ordered: "Everyone hurry up and build the soil!" Be sure to keep the fire out! ”
"Whoa!" The samurai answered in unison.
"But what about Brother Xiao Xun?! Without the help of the samurai, I wouldn't have been able to save Brother Xun! ”
"I ...... I ......" Shuang Di was in a dilemma, on the one hand, she was responsible for the Yue Nu clan, and on the other hand, she was deeply in love with Zhang Xun, she was difficult to choose, frowning tightly, weighing the most difficult and painful choice in her heart.
After thinking about it for a long time, in the end, Shuang Di said firmly: "Brother Xiao Xun wants to learn these wisdoms so much, I must leave this wisdom to him, I think it is Brother Xiao Xun, he will do the same......"
"But...... In this case, won't Brother Xiao Xun be arrested by the ruler?! ”
"Brother Xiao Xun has no substantive crime, he fled from Gusu to protect us, and there is also Brother Gonghui in the court, he will definitely help Brother Xiao Xun get rid of the charge. In addition, Brother Xiao Xun's life is not in danger now, if we rush to the rescue, the sword will not grow in the dark, but there may be an accident. I believe that Brother Xiao Xun will be fine, and one day, Brother Xiao Xun and I will meet again, and at that time, I will give him all this wisdom. ”
"Huh! All right...... Anyway, you have to make a trade-off, and since you've made a decision, do as you say! ”
"Brother, let's help build the soil together!"
After saying this, Frost Strode to the wall, staring intently at the words on the wall, and began to memorize quickly.
Outside the dark passage, he picked up the torch and circled around the gap twice, then grinned inside, waved his hand and threw the torch into the gap. The torch met the liquor, and the fire instantly ignited, and the fire spread down the secret passage, and it didn't take long for the underground flames to burn out from around the altar, and the wooden structures around the temple began to burn, even the hanging carving of the god phoenix was on fire. It won't be long before the entire sacrificial temple will be destroyed by fire.
The ruler was overjoyed and ordered: "Go!" Search the clan and take all the gold with you! ”
"Whoa!"
So he ordered the Wu soldiers to carry away the pure gold altar, and then took the people out of the sacrificial temple with satisfaction, and then, the Wu soldiers also went to the clan village to loot treasures.
The fire burned down the secret passage, and everyone could clearly feel the heat coming. Frost's attention was focused on the carving, and she didn't have time to check the fire, just stared at the carving on the wall, quickly stuffing the contents into her mind.
There was a commotion in the secret room, the children were panicked and cried, and the fire spread rapidly, and although the earthen walls built by the samurai temporarily blocked the fire, the flames were pervasive and kept trying to penetrate into the secret room.
While arranging for the old and weak to leave the secret room first, He Yu instructed the samurai to continue to build earth to block the fire.
Xiao Se also followed the samurai to build the earth, although he coveted the seal carvings on the wall, but he knew that the best result at the moment was to block the fire, if he couldn't stop the fire, he could only hope that Frost Di would memorize the content on it, after all, with his memory, it was absolutely impossible to memorize so much content in such a short time.
Frost Di's mind was highly concentrated, she quickly swept the content on the wall, and in a very short time, she actually wrote down all the "science" categories in the four categories of "science", "soldier", "strategy", and "technique". Perhaps it was because of her high level of concentration, or maybe it was because the fire consumed too much air, and Frosty felt a severe headache, but she endured the pain and continued to remember the "soldier" class.
At this time, the fire was completely out of control, the flames completely burned into the secret room, and more than a dozen samurai were burned to varying degrees, and one of them was even accidentally engulfed by the fire and was already dying.
"Patriarch! Let's get out of here! A samurai pleaded with his recently dead companion in his arms.
Frosty ignored it, still staring intently at the writing on the wall. Her eyes were blurry, her vision was blood-red, her ears couldn't hear anything except a chaotic beep, and her headache was numb, and the pain spread all over her body, replacing all touch.
She stood there like a statue. After another while, she turned around suddenly, she had completely memorized the "soldier" class, and her eyes turned to focus on the "slightly" class.
The fire lit up the entire chamber as if it were daylight, the scorching heat almost burned people, and the fire consumed so much air that it was almost impossible to breathe.
The seal carving that recorded wisdom also ignited a fire, and the words on it disappeared in an instant.
Seeing the urgency of the situation, Heyu hurriedly ordered everyone to evacuate, and although the samurai were reluctant, they had no choice but to leave the secret room. When everyone else left, He Yu picked up Frosty and ran to the exit, Frosty couldn't speak, just stretched out his hand and pointed to the wall on the side, reluctant to give up.
He Yu lifted up with force, sending Frost Out, and finally, before the Flame Jaw was about to bite, He Yu jumped and escaped from the secret room.
Flames erupted from the circular exit, like a bright brazier, illuminating the dark and cold cavern.
Frost Sweet lay in Heyu's arms, took one last look at the light, and then fainted.
Finally, it was dawn, and the sun poured into the cave, creating a narrow spot of light.
He Yu left the cave to investigate, at this time the village was full of dead bodies and ashes, he met many survivors, and the survivors told him that the people of Wu had left, and Zhang Xun was probably taken away by them. He Yu searched around, but did not find any Wu Bing, and after confirming that it was safe, He Yu planned to return to the cave to inform Shuang Tu and the others. At this time, he met Chen Yin.
Chen Yin's expression was a little dazed, and he didn't seem to be able to accept the facts in front of him. He told Heyu that he had drunk too much alcohol yesterday, and that he had been in a coma from yesterday afternoon until this morning, and when he woke up, he found that such a big change had happened in the village. He Yu told him about the experience of this night, he heard that Mitsuki was still alive, and finally found a little joy in his sadness.
Subsequently, He Yu took Chen Yin to the cave, and when the father and daughter met again after the catastrophe, they both cried silently.
Chen Yin was indignant, clenched his fists and swore: "I must avenge Fenluo and the Yue Nu clan!" ”
Xiao Shi took the opportunity to say: "Brother Chen, this disaster is all caused by the people of Wu State, and the revenge of exterminating the clan must be avenged, and the old hatred between Brother Chen and his husband has not disappeared, and now the new hatred and old hatred are counted together!" Brother Chen knows that our Yue and Wu also have the hatred of the country, and now we are like-minded, why don't Brother Chen go to the Yue country, we will fight together to find Wu to take revenge!? ”
Chen Yin gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely, "Okay!" I'll go to Yue with you! I must destroy the state of Wu! ”
Xiao Shi was overjoyed, and hurriedly held Chen Yin's hand tightly and said, "With Brother Chen's help, great things can be done!" ”
At this time, Frost woke up, and she looked panicked, looking left and right, as if she was anxiously looking for something. She left the cave and saw the statue of the goddess in the distance, and her attention was attracted by the statue of the goddess, and she walked straight in the direction of the statue.
"Sister!?" He Yu wanted to stop her, but she didn't pay attention to it at all, and just hurriedly walked forward.
He Yu had no choice but to bring everyone to follow. Coming to the statue of the goddess, Frost suddenly stopped, she stared blankly at the smoky and dirty statue of the goddess, her expression was blank, she didn't say a word, her eyes were dull and empty, as if she had lost her soul.
Seeing Frost's appearance, Heyu was very worried, and hurriedly comforted Frost and said, "Sister, don't be sad, no matter what, we are safe now." Brother Xiao Xun will be fine, and one day we can meet again. ”
Frost didn't answer, she suddenly crouched on the ground, pinched a twig and wrote on the dirt.
"Sister, don't write yet, let's rest for a while and then write, okay?"
Frost Tu ignored Heyu, still writing quickly on the ground. Seeing this, He Yu had to beckon someone to find some bamboo slips and pen and ink. The clansmen sent an empty scroll of bamboo slips and pen and ink, and Shuang Di snatched it up, and then lay on the ground like crazy and wrote desperately.
"Sister, go back to the house and write."
Jianyue also said: "Yes, Sister Shuangdi, eat something first, and go back to the house to write." ”
Frost didn't speak at all, she quickly wrote all over the volume in her hand, and even the reverse side was densely written. Seeing that the bamboo slips had run out and that there was no place to put pen to paper, she suddenly became irritable, scratching her hair frantically and moaning in pain.
He Yu was so panicked that he had to ask people to find more bamboo slips, and as soon as Shuang Di got the bamboo slips, he immediately stopped being crazy and continued to write hard.
He Yu picked up the bamboo slip that Shuang Di had just written, looked at it in front and back, shook his head and said, "This ...... What's written on this...... It's not a sentence at all. ”
Xiao Shi also hurriedly took a look, and sure enough, the writing on it was messy, not a sentence at all, and some words could not even be regarded as words, but seemed to be ghost drawings.
Xiao Shi sighed and said, "The fire in the secret room consumes too much air, and her mind is highly concentrated, and she has a large load of memory in a short period of time, which may have caused serious damage to her mind. ”
"Huh? This...... What can I do? ”
"I don't know how the damage is going at the moment, she has too many things to remember, and the best thing to do now is to follow her and let her quickly write down the things in her head."
"Well, that makes sense."
"Heyu Gongzi, I don't think it's as good as this, you and Shuangdi will go to Yue Country with me. First, you, like Brother Chen, now have a deep hatred with Wu Guo, and second, I am proficient in medical skills and can help Shuang Tu heal. ”
He Yu didn't answer immediately, although he knew that his ancestral home was in Yue Kingdom, but after all, he grew up in Wu Kingdom and didn't have much affection for Yue Kingdom, even if his father died, he only blamed it on Qi Liu, and he never hated Wu State. Just when he hesitated, he didn't expect Frost to shake twice and fall to the ground.
"Sister!"
He Yu hurriedly picked up Frosty, but Frosty had already fallen into a deep fainting, and no matter how much she shouted, Frosty had no response. He Yu picked up the thin frost and hurriedly sent her to the room to rest, and He Yu put the pen and ink and bamboo slips aside, for fear that she would be crazy again.
He Yu stayed by the bedside, looking at his sister's thin body, and felt distressed.
Since she was a child, her father disliked her very much and left her alone in the village, and later she came to Gusu City, but she was not favored by her father. Fortunately, she met Zhang Xun, and saw that she was about to usher in a happy marriage, but she encountered a sudden change. After experiencing the trials of Yue Nu Mountain, she used her own efforts to win the opportunity for happiness, but before the candles in the cave room, bad luck struck again. And this time fate seems to be even more cruel.
Thinking of this, He Yu grabbed Shuangdi's hand, and tears silently flowed from the corners of his eyes. Frost's palms were oozing with sweat, and she looked pained, as if she was struggling with a nightmare. Suddenly, Frost woke up violently, and she searched in a panic, only to calm down a little when she saw the pen and ink and bamboo slips placed aside. She grabbed pen and ink and bamboo slips, and continued to write wildly.
"Sister, let's eat something." He Yu gently stroked Frost's hair.
Frost didn't seem to feel Heyu's touch, she couldn't hear any sound, she didn't speak, she didn't look at Heyu, she just kept writing, like a wooden man, and didn't react to the outside world.
Jianyue entered the room with a jug, she poured out a bowl of water and held it in front of Frosty, and said, "Sister Frosty, drink some water." ”
Frost was still the same, without the slightest reaction.
"Hey, let's go out first, let Frost be alone for a while."
"Hmm."
With that, the two of them walked outside the door. Jianyue asked puzzledly, "Sister Shuangdi, what's wrong?" ”
He Yu looked worried, "Xiao Shi said that she has a brain damage and needs medical treatment. ”
"That'...... Are you going to take Sister Shuang Tu to Yue for healing? ”
"Yes...... Although I don't want to go, where can we go except Yueguo? And Xiao Se said that only if my sister and I go to the Yue country with him, the king of Yue will agree to accept the rest of the Yue Nu clan, I think, for the survival of the clan, my sister will definitely accept this condition. ”
"My father wants to go to Yue with Xiao Se, and he vows to take revenge."
He Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Hmm...... Revenge must be avenged...... It's just that this feud should really be counted on the head of Wu Guo? ”
"I ...... I don't know......" Jianyue lowered her head, her cheeks were slightly red, she suddenly hugged Heyu, and said with moist eyes: "I want to be with you." ”
"Okay, we're not going to be separated."
He Yu looked at Jianyue and nodded vigorously.
