Chapter 65: Revenge
The night was still not very bright, and the road in the mountains was already difficult to walk, so in order to prevent being discovered, Jiang Xiaoyu did not take a torch, but just groped forward with his own memory.
The branches of the trees were like ghosts, and from time to time jackdaws flew up from the forest as if frightened, and the weeds and vines around them were entangled with each other, looking extremely barren.
Two days ago, when Lin Ruoruo walked in the mountains to pick mushrooms, the road between the mountains was obviously carefully rested, although it looked wild, but there was no danger at all, but here, no one seemed to set foot on it, the more Jiang Xiaoyu walked inside, the more he felt that the cold was pressing, and the cold air was close to the heart, this was not the cool breeze at night on the mountain, revealing an indescribable evil aura, and then thinking of the corpse eating Gu, he was a little more aware of the yin qi that was blowing in his face.
This place is eerie and terrifying, no wonder there is a haunted rumor, as for when this legend began, no one can say clearly, but no one who accidentally broke in came out alive, so this place is also a forbidden place for the people under Cangyun Villa.
But what she still couldn't figure out was why there were so many corpses on the Vast Mountain, and what had happened here? Although Canghao Mountain has always been inhabited by Lin Ruoruo, but nominally it is a royal palace, if there is really a large-scale massacre, it is impossible for no rumors to return to the palace at all, if this matter has something to do with the palace, then why would this place be given to Lin Ruoruo to nourish his body?
With a stomach full of doubts, Jiang Xiaoyu came to a dense forest, the trees here are taller than the ones on the previous road, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, dense, layered, walking below, almost reaching out to see the five fingers, and the more you go inside, not only the cooler is heavier, but also the smell of corpses is getting thicker and stronger, disgusting.
At this time, Jiang Xiaoyu found an extremely faint vibration on the ground, it was precisely because the environment here was dark and her vision was blocked, but it made her feel sensitive in other aspects, she thought slightly in her heart, and jumped from the ground to the tree.
At this time, she found that there were dense insects crawling on the ground, and the part of the heads of these black insects was emitting a cold green light, and a few of them were already making people's scalps numb, not to mention such a large area, which was terrifying, and the direction in which they moved should be Cangyun Villa.
If she didn't admit that these insects were wrong, they should be dark cloud Gu, different from corpse eating Gu, these dark cloud Gu don't need food, they just need to seal them in the jar, but once they are released, they will feed on living people, and they will not be afraid of the sun, but it is too difficult to domesticate this Gu, and few people succeed, it seems that the other party is really a master of raising Gu, and he has to speed up, otherwise the people of Cangyun Villa are afraid that they will be in trouble!
Jiang Xiaoyu quickly jumped on the tree, following the direction of these dark cloud Gu countercurrents, he should be able to find the Gu cultivation master who was controlling behind him.
And the closer she got to that Gu cultivation master, Jiang Xiaoyu's breathing accelerated a little, and the more nervous she felt, to a certain extent, she was approaching a truth, she was figuring out a very confusing matter, a thing that was directly related to her grandfather's definition of rebellion.
Time was passing little by little, the moon slowly broke free from the dark clouds, the cold moonlight was sprinkled from the new, and then the faint moonlight, Jiang Xiaoyu's speed became faster and faster, and soon came to the end of the woods, and those dark clouds Gu also began to disappear from here.
At the end of the woods is a dark cave, some purple gas is coming out of the cave, that should be the miasma, Jiang Xiaoyu took a pill for a moment and took it, this is the master with Ganoderma lucidum grass refined, after taking it, within two hours of a hundred poisons.
Jiang Xiaoyu entered the cave, this cave is very deep, not only the smell is incomparable, but also the ground and the surrounding cave walls are crawling with all kinds of insects, she once again cut her arm, blood flowed out, those insects are retreating in fear, dare not come forward.
Jiang Xiaoyu was able to continue to move forward, into the depths, only to see some orange light coming from the front, she stepped forward quickly, at the end of the cave inserted a torch, next to the torch is a stone bed, there is a person sitting cross-legged on the bed, he heard the voice, raised his head, seemed to be a little surprised: "I didn't expect someone to break into here, let alone a woman!" ”
The person on the stone bed was not a fierce and vicious appearance, but a delicate young man, his hair was scattered, lining him with a somewhat feminine appearance, Jiang Xiaoyu took two steps back, and asked in a cold voice: "Is everything in Cangyun Villa a ghost for you?" Who are you? What is your purpose? ”
"Me? I am a person who should have died but survived, and the purpose of my life is naturally to take revenge, to avenge my brothers and sisters! The man said coldly, "I have no enmity with you, I won't kill you, you can go!" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, the people you want to kill the most are Prime Minister Lin Cheng's children, Lin Ruoruo and Lin Xuan, but why did you kill them? You just said revenge, as far as I know, Lin Ruoruo is just a kind and simple girl, and she shouldn't hurt anyone! ”
An angry look burst out of the man's eyes, and he got up from the bed and said sharply, "She won't hurt anyone!" But her sick and weak body is her original sin, and her father is a demon who can sacrifice the lives of countless innocent people in order to find a cure for her woman! ”
Jiang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?" What did Prime Minister Lin do? ”
The man waved his hand, only to see the insects around him spread out like a tide, and under those insects were a lot of white bones, and the two neat white bones in the cave were dozens of corpses, and judging by the newness of these white bones, they should not have died at the same time.
"Surprised, isn't it?" The man smiled angrily, "There are a lot of corpses buried on the ground outside, if you are interested, you can dig them up and have a look!" ”
"Why do these corpses have anything to do with Lin Ruoruo?" After calming down, Jiang Xiaoyu continued to ask.
"Lin Ruoruo's health has been very bad since she was a child, and an imperial doctor once treated her, saying that she would not live to be fifteen years old, and her condition would worsen every summer, and she needed to go to this vast mountain to recuperate!" The man said coldly, "Do you feel that Lin Ruoruo's body is much stronger than at the bottom of the mountain as soon as he comes to Canghao Mountain, is it really because he is an outstanding person in Canghao Mountain?" It's just sucking the souls of many innocents......"
A look of pain flashed in the man's eyes: "I am just a slave from southern Xinjiang, who was bought with my brothers and sisters and secretly sent to this vast mountain, but what awaits us is not hard work, but painful death!" ”
The man gritted his teeth and continued: "Prime Minister Lin Cheng, he is a demon, he said that we bought slaves are divided into two purposes, one part is used to test medicine, in order to be able to refine the medicine to cure his daughter's condition, while using my body for experiments, while the other people are buried alive, and they invite wizards to practice and use their spirits to renew Lin Ruoruo's life!" ”
"Are you the only one who escaped? Since he escaped, why didn't he make what Prime Minister Lin did public, but chose the method of revenge? If you hate hurting innocents, why do you want to hurt more innocents? ”
"Lin Ruoruo comes back to Canghao Mountain every summer, I have been preparing here for more than half a year, but I didn't expect that so many people would come this time, in order to die again for the innocent people who didn't follow me, in order to avenge my brothers and sisters who have died, I have no choice!" The man said hatefully, "Prime Minister Lin Cheng has won the trust of the emperor, even if he talks about it, what can he do?" I want to give him a taste of the loss of his loved ones, and let him feel the pain of the death of his daughter who he couldn't save even if he did evil! ”
He glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu coldly: "You have no enmity with me, I won't kill you, but you don't want to persuade me to give up revenge!" ”
"Since you are only a slave, then your means of revenge come from such a clever method of raising Gu?" Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes narrowed slightly, "Or was you rescued after you escaped, and these things were all taught to you by others?" ”
"You don't have to try to get more out of my mouth, I'm not going to tell you! If you want to be nosy, then you can only die with them! The man said coldly, the orange light hit his face, and the gray complexion that had been dealing with Gu worms and miasma for many years became more and more obvious, making his whole person feel a little more yin.
Jiang Xiaoyu smiled: "If you want to kill me, you also have to see if you have the ability to do it!" First, there are my friends in Cangyun Villa, and I won't let you hurt them! Second, I'm very interested in the person who taught you the method of raising Gu, so this time, I'm closed! ”
"If you have to go against me, don't blame me for being rude to you!" The man shouted angrily, and then commanded those Gu worms to attack her.
Jiang Xiaoyu had only been talking for a long time, and the blood on her hands was dripping on the ground, and those Gu worms were afraid of her blood, so they didn't dare to step forward at all, but just made a threatening sizzling sound, which made people feel irritated for no reason.
"I didn't expect you to have such a physique!" The man smiled lowly, "You were born to be my nemesis, no wonder you were able to find here!" But do you think I only have Gu worms? ”
As soon as his words fell, he immediately took a long sword next to the stone bed and stabbed straight at Jiang Xiaoyu's throat!
The two silver needles in Jiang Xiaoyu's hands flew towards the man, and at the same time, he jumped up and took several steps back.
