Chapter 53: The Secret Passage Through the Red Flower Forest

A Qing said: "The predecessor has been dead for so long, how can he tell you." You see, we can't even lift it, what do we want it to do. You can bring it up so easily, and you just happen to be right, which means that you have a fate, and if the predecessor is still alive, he will agree to give it to you. ”

Ngawang pondered for a long time and said, "I heard that all extraordinary divine weapons will seal themselves. This predecessor has been dead for hundreds of years, and the owner of the Qianxuan Sword has not come to take it, it has been erected here, and it must have sealed itself. You have a relationship with it to break it down, and if the old man is still alive, he will definitely give it to you. ”

Yaojia asked as if she didn't understand, "Really?"

Ah Qing and Ah Wang nodded again and again, and said, "Go and get it, with it, it is worth more than ten years of martial arts practice for you." ”

Yaojia nodded, turned around and went back to take off the Nine Dragons Knife, looked at the ring and said, "But what about this ring?"

Ah Qing said: "If the predecessor is alive, she is willing to give you this Nine Dragon Knife, and naturally she will also give you the ring, so you can accept it together." ”

Ngawang chimed in: "Yes, yes." ”

Yaojia picked up the ring and put it in her arms, knelt down in front of the wooden board and kowtowed three times, and said, "Thank you seniors for giving you knives and rings, and the juniors will definitely take good care of them." The planks turned to ash and spilled onto the ground, revealing a delicate Jane leather scabbard. Yaojia was overjoyed and said: "It turns out that there is a scabbard, how beautiful it is." "Remove the scabbard and insert it into the Nine Dragons knife tightly. She untied Liu Tingting, put the knife on her back, put Liu Tingting on her back, and walked forward.

The three of them continued to walk forward as they spoke, walking for more than half an hour. Ngawang suddenly shouted: "Be careful, if you take any further steps, you will definitely die." ”

Yaojia was so frightened that she hurriedly retreated, and said in shock: "What's wrong?"

Ngawang stepped forward, pointed to a large area of dwarf thorns with purple and red flowers in front of him, and said, "This grass is called Zixiaoluo, it is very poisonous, and if you accidentally stab it, you will die within three hours." ”

Yaojia was shocked: "Ah, don't you have an antidote?"

Ngawang said: "No, this grass is also seen in the fragments of ancient books, and it has long been extinct outside, but I don't know that so much grows here." The fragment says very little, only that it is highly poisonous, but does not say how to detoxify this poison, and the ancestors seem to know very little about it. ”

Ah Qing said: "In this way, there should be highly poisonous weeds and insects everywhere that the world doesn't know about, it's really a strange place." ”

Yaojia looked at the endless Zixiao Luo and sighed: "Boundless, how can we get through this Zixiao Luo?"

Ngawang and the others turned their heads to look, and they did see the old turtle crawling towards him with a sway.

The old turtle walked up to Yaojia and stopped, looking at Yaojia, not knowing what he wanted to express.

Yaojia asked, "Where are you going, it's best not to go ahead, those poisonous weeds will sting you." ”

Ngawang walked up to the old turtle and saw that its feet were all hard beast armor, and said with a smile: "I don't think this Zixiao Luo can pierce the old turtle." Holding Ah Qing and jumping onto the old turtle's back, he said, "Ah Jia, come up quickly, there is an old turtle to carry us, and it will be fine." ”

Yaojia was overjoyed, jumped onto the old turtle's back, and said, "I've been working hard for you for a while, old man." ”

The old turtle stood up and slowly swayed into the purple clouds.

Ngawang said: "Although Zixiao Luo is poisonous, its thorns are very soft, and it can stab people, but it cannot pierce the skin armor of the old turtle. That's a good thing. The old turtle carried the three of them through the Zixiao Luo bush, and appeared in front of him an endless red flower forest, which was separated from the Zixiao Luo by a belt of gravel. Speaking of which, this safflower forest is also very peculiar, the tree is just over a human head at a height of three meters, the flowers and leaves are red, the leaf surface is curved, and there are small fluffy thorns around it. The old turtle walked up to the gravel and stopped, leaning over to rest.

Ngawang jumped onto the gravel belt with Ah Qing in his arms, approached the mangrove forest and took a closer look, and his face suddenly darkened.

Yaojia jumped off the gravel belt, untied Liu Tingting and put it on the gravel, and said, "Sister is so pitiful, it must be uncomfortable to always be carried on the back like this." ”

Ah Wang helped Ah Qing to sit next to Liu Tingting and said, "Ah Jia, don't touch the safflower tree, this tree is also extremely poisonous." He took out two empty bottles from his bosom, cut off one of them with a knife, and carefully put them in the empty bottles with two knives and capped them. He took out another empty bottle, carefully cut off a red flower and several leaves, put them in the empty bottle, and put them in the back pocket.

Yaojia looked at the beautiful safflower tree and asked, "How can such a beautiful tree be extremely poisonous?"

Ngawang said: "I have seen it on the fragments of ancient books, and the ancestors named it 'Luan Yan', and they also said very little, only that it has long been extinct, extremely poisonous, and there is no cure. ”

Ah Qing smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay now, how can I get over." The tree grew taller than a man, and it was impossible to sit on the back of the old turtle. ”

Yaojia said: "What kind of place is this, there are poisonous weeds and poisonous insects everywhere, so scary." ”

Ngawang said: "If there is no poison everywhere and it is so easy to enter, I am afraid that this Nine Dragon Valley would have been trampled to the ground." The reason why it can be so intact is that the strange flowers and plants are rising, and the ancient trees are all thanks to them. ”

Yaojia said: "Okay, what you said makes sense, but how can we get over?"

Ngawang looked at the safflower forest, the ground was full of fallen leaves, and there was no gap filled with branches, shook his head and said: "Unless you can fly, you can fly over, otherwise only the old turtle can pass, we can't get by." "Lying down with my head up, looking at the thick fog above my head, I can't help but feel suffocated.

Ah Qing lay down beside him and said, "But we can't fly, it's hard to die here." Suddenly they heard a swishing sound, and when the three of them looked, they saw that the old turtle had burrowed into the red flower forest and walked forward. Ah Qing hurriedly shouted, "Hey, old turtle, what should we do when you leave?"

Yaojia also shouted: "Come back, old turtle, come back quickly." Damn old turtle, it's really infuriating. ”

Ngawang lay down softly, looked at the thick fog, and sighed: "It's already a miracle that we can come here, even if we die, it's not in vain." ”

Ah Qing held Ah Wang's hand and said, "We haven't gotten married yet, how can we say that this life is in vain, don't you care about me at all?"

Ngawang shook his head and smiled: "So we won't die, and if we want to die, we will at least have to wait for us to become relatives." Let's figure out a way together, and there will definitely be a way to get through. ”

Yaojia said: "What is there to think about, you are lying here and not dying, which means that the gravel can help us." Isn't it a big deal to make a way out and use gravel to pad the past?"

Ngawang hurriedly jumped up and shouted, "No, you listen to me, and it's not too late to act." ”

Yaojia asked, "What's wrong?"

Ngawang said: "If you can pass with such a stupid method, do you still need us to pave the way ourselves, how can there be such an easy thing in the world." When I cut off the mangrove tree just now, I found that red sap flowed from the break, and I knew that the sap of the safflower tree was more poisonous. ”

Yaojia asked, "Then what do you say? Now that the old turtle is gone again, he is in a dilemma, is it possible to starve to death here?"

Ngawang looked around to see that there was nothing but the rubble, and he picked it up to see what was under the rubble. But there is no soil under the gravel except for gravel or gravel.

When Yaojia saw him digging gravel, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Since there is no way in the sky and no way on the ground, then let's go underground." ”

A Qing praised: "Yes, why didn't I think of it, let's dig a tunnel under the mangrove forest, can't we pass through." ”

Ngawang also felt that this was the only way at present, and nodded: "That's it, but you have to dig deeper, and you can't touch the roots of the mangrove, otherwise it will be a dead end." ”

Ah Qing nodded and said: "Then let's start, you dig first, change Ajia when you are tired, and I will dig when I get better, and the three of us will take turns to be faster." ”

Ngawang dug up the rubble, revealing a boulder underneath. Suddenly his heart was cold, and he said: "It's a big stone mountain, and you can't dig it at all, so forget it." "I climbed up, and I was very discouraged.

Yaojia was so angry that she pulled out her Nine Dragon Knife and scolded at the boulder: "You can't pass in the sky, you can't pass on the ground, and even the underground has to block the way, hum." Urging the internal force, he jumped up and slashed at the boulder. There was a boom, and gray smoke rose up. Yaojia seemed to feel still angry, and slashed again, the blade crossed the gray smoke, and with a bang, the crushed lime smoke rose high all around. Yao Jia used all her internal strength, and slashed it again, and the sound of shattering was deafening, and the broken stone bell fell.

The three of them heard the sound very strangely, and when they walked into the boulder, they saw that it was not a boulder, but a large stone slab covering the entrance of a cave, which looked like a boulder.

The three of them laughed in surprise, and Ngawang took off his coat and tore many small pieces of the city. Tie one piece to the knife and the other to the other. First lit a piece, walked into the cave, looked at the neatness of the cave, and said, "Come down, it turns out that someone has used this method to pass." Help A-Qing to walk forward.

Yaojia picked up Liu Tingting and followed behind, and the three of them walked forward by the faint firelight. Because of the age of this cave, many tree roots in the cave penetrated down.

Ngawang said, "Be careful, if you break these roots, you will be poisoned." ”

A Qing said: "It seems that this hole has been dug for a long, long time, and these roots have grown into the hole. ”

Ngawang said: "It should have been dug by that old man just now, he should have been to Jiulong Valley, but he died there for some reason." ”

Yaojia said: "Could it be that she accidentally broke the roots of the tree when she was digging a hole and was poisoned." ”

Ngawang said: "It's also possible, regardless of her, but I'm still very grateful to her, if there is no tunnel she dug, we really have no way out." The three of them talked and walked for a while, and the fire in Ngawang's hand burned out, so he lit another one, handed the knife to Yaojia and said, "Tie the sackcloth, otherwise it will not be replaced when it is burned." ”
