Chapter 126: Half of the Mask
There is a quaint and delicate piece of agarwood in the Qingyu house, and I joke that one day I will cut a piece and cut it down to make a hairpin. Since then, I haven't seen the pot of agarwood. Until this evening, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Qing Yu wandering in front of my bamboo building, and asked him what was the matter, he smiled without saying a word, but took out an agarwood hairpin from his arms.
"I'll send you!"
The hairpin was shiny and delicate, and there was a familiar fragrance wafting like flowers and fruits, and I was shocked: "This is that piece of agarwood!" ”
"It's okay to make Buddha beads with this agarwood, but it's really reluctant to make hairpins." Qing Yu sent the hairpin to me: "Your Highness will wear it first, and I will find a piece of good material another day and make it for you again." ”
"That's already good!" For my casual joke, Qing Yu was willing to give up that priceless piece of agarwood! Although I feel a little distressed, I am more happy!
When I took off the pearls and jade on my head and only fixed my hair with agarwood hairpins, and then took off the hairpins, I found that my hair was actually dyed with the fragrance of flowers and fruits. I was in a good mood, and then I thought that I went to the lotus pond to pick dew that day to make tea for Qingyu.
I heard that there is a mountain peak in Tulip Mountain, the cliffs on all sides are like mirrors, steep and high and difficult to climb, but there is a thousand-year-old tea tree growing on the top of that peak, it is rumored that there was a bird that pulls down the leaves of the tea tree, the fragrance is far away, the aftertaste is endless, so that the people who love tea all want to pursue but can't ask for it.
However, the steep peak of a hundred feet, others can't go up, but it is difficult for me. Easily flew on the branch of the tea tree, sure enough, the tea fragrance was intoxicating, but I couldn't drink the tea, and I couldn't smell the mellow tea fragrance. Resisting the discomfort, I hurriedly plucked some young leaves and flew down from the summit. Maybe I was dazed by the fragrance of tea, and I fell to the ground but didn't see the path when I came, so I had to grope around the tea tree peak in the forest with the direction of memory.
There is a huge broken Dan furnace medicine pod in a pile of rocks under the tea tree peak, and a deep cave can be faintly seen in the depths of the rocks. Intrigued, I walked towards the cave.
I stumbled and almost fell when I tripped over my foot, and when I looked down, I saw that the side of the stone that had almost tripped me was showing a touch of gold!
Removing the stone, I saw that what was pressed underneath was half of the mask, half of the golden mask split from the middle by a sharp weapon, the golden mask that had been guarding me since I came into this world!
Yun Cheng's mask!
He walked in a hurry that day, saying that he was returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors, but why did his mask appear in the dense forest of the mountain behind the Valley of the Divine Doctor. I was imprisoned in a secret prison by Gu Zhengxi, and I was suffering with someone who saved me, and I could feel that that person was Yun Cheng, and the lock whistle around his neck was the best proof of his identity, so I was at ease with him and let him hug me.
I didn't see his ruined face until the moment before I was forced to fall off the cliff, and I knew that he was afraid that I would be sad to see him, so he was only willing to confront me in that dark prison.
He put half of the mask in his arms, took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, and took the night pearl to illuminate and walked towards the depths of the cave step by step.
The cave looks like a rock fracture, and there are traces of artificial repair. I didn't feel anything unusual when I first entered the cave, but the more I went inside, the stronger the rancid smell became, until I saw the corpses all over the ground.
Endure the discomfort, I carefully examined the corpses, and found that many skeletons had traces of being stabbed by sharp weapons, some were chest and abdomen, and some directly divided the cervical vertebrae into two, but the same, their injuries were only one, and they should all be fatal by one move!
From the rags left on the bones, it was enough to tell that they were wearing the clothes of the medicine boy, so there was no doubt that they were indeed the medicine children of the Divine Medicine Valley. It is not difficult to understand the alchemy medicine in the inaccessible mountains, but why are so many medicine children dying in caves?
Further inside, there were shackles and locked cages, and I thought this was a private cell. And how tall and sturdy the skeleton in the iron cage is, there are no fatal wounds, indicating that the people locked in it are completely different from the owners of the corpses of outsiders.
Looking at the skeletons, I could tell that they were not medicine children. But I couldn't guess the identity of the owners of these bones, let alone why they were trapped in this deep mountain cave.
Until I saw a pair of tiger head iron rings on the index finger of the hand bones, the iron ring of the alliance leader with a black body, cast from rare black iron, symbolizing the supreme martial arts!
It is rumored that the family of the former martial arts alliance leader was tragically wiped out, and the villa where he lived was also burned by fire, and later people found the alliance leader's order in the secret room of the villa, but they couldn't find the alliance leader's iron ring, let alone distinguish the alliance leader's bones from the charred and broken bones.
I remember hearing Yun Cheng say that his father once had an abdominal injury and broke a pair of ribs. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at the ribs of the skeleton.
Eleven pairs! It's really eleven pairs, and it's Yun Cheng's father who is locked up in the cage!
I can't tell how long this skeleton has been dead, but being locked in a cage means that he must have been alive before he was brought here, that is to say, the former martial arts alliance leader was not killed in the extermination more than twenty years ago, but was kidnapped and imprisoned in this cave.
The destroyed furnace outside the cave shows that this is the place where the Divine Medicine Valley is alchemy, and there is still a former martial arts alliance master imprisoned in this cave! A truth that was about to be revealed sent chills through my heart. I tried not to think in that direction, but I couldn't help thinking about it, Yun Cheng's father was imprisoned in the cave behind the alchemy furnace of the Divine Medicine Valley, Yun Cheng's face was completely destroyed, and half of his mask was in the pile of rubble outside the cave......
"Mu Yu!" An anxious call came, and I saw Qing Yu standing at the entrance of the cave with a torch.
This is the first time Qing Yu has called my name since I arrived in the Valley of the Divine Doctor, and I must have been at a loss if I had been happy before. But at this time, my body unconsciously took two steps back, and my right hand clenched the soft sword hanging from my waist.
"Mu Yu," Qing Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of panic, and he slowly approached me, slower and slower, slower and slower, until he was only two steps away from me, he stopped and said, "I went up the back mountain to collect medicine, and I saw you coming here from a distance, so I came over to take a look." ”
"I'm fine!" I flinched back on guard, though I didn't believe he would hurt me, but the intense uneasiness made my nerves tense.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you!" He seemed to have seen the golden mask in my arms, and his voice was softer than ever, and he said to me carefully, "Golden ......"
"Your golden-masked secret guard is the benefactor of my Divine Doctor Valley!" The loud voice interrupted Qing Yu's words, and I saw clearly that the person who followed Qing Yu in was the Lord of the Divine Doctor Valley, and he said: "It was Yun Xian's nephew who discovered this cave and led the people of my Divine Doctor Valley to eradicate the villains who were entrenched here, but unfortunately such a handsome and extraordinary face was ruined by the villains. ”
"This cave is behind the medicine furnace in your Divine Medicine Valley, which round will Yun Cheng discover it for you?"
"The medicine furnace here has been abandoned for many years, and the Divine Medicine Valley didn't know that there was a cave here." He said: "Behind this medicine furnace is a stone wall, if it weren't for Yun Xian's nephew tracking that gang of gangsters here, my Divine Medicine Gu doesn't know how many martial arts heroes will have to bear the life debt, it's really a sin." He sighed, and continued: "After eradicating that gang of gangsters, I tried my best to detain him in the Divine Doctor Valley to heal his wounds, but he insisted on leaving for the sake of the Heavenly Overlord Prince, so I had to give him the Evil Dispelling Guyang Pill to express my gratitude!" It's a pity that stupid kid ......"
The Evil Dispelling and Solid Yang Pill on Yun Cheng's body was given to him by the Divine Doctor Valley Lord? I pointed to the bones in the cage and asked, "Why did the gang put these people in the cage?" ”
"The purpose of imprisoning martial arts masters is naturally for their peerless martial arts." He looked at me again and said with a smile: "The so-called husband is not guilty of his crimes, Her Royal Highness the princess will not fail to understand these reasons!" ”
"I see!" I approached Qing Yu with my head down, and carefully tugged at his sleeve, "I shouldn't doubt the Divine Doctor Valley!" Don't take it to heart, okay? ”
"It's me who is not good ......" Xiao Qingyu wanted to say something, but in the face of the master's warning eyes, he had to change his words: "Let's bury all these people!" ”
"Hmm!" I nodded, and that was exactly what I wanted to do.
The night was dark and the wind was high, and I quietly left the bamboo building through the window and walked towards the medicine field. By the faint light of the stars, I found the cave behind the medicine field, a cave that seemed normal, but no one was allowed to enter.
There was a thick blood in the air, and I groped for more than a dozen steps with a soft sword in my hand, and suddenly felt a powerful momentum coming towards me, and I was knocked to the ground, and the night pearl in my arms fell out and instantly lit up the surroundings. I finally saw the outline of the cave, and a pack of white wolves with blood-red eyes were surrounding me in the middle.
It was the first time in my life that I had been attacked by an animal, and I was so frightened that I didn't have time to think about it and just wanted to flee as soon as possible, but the sharp pain in my ankle made me unable to bullet.
In fact, the group of white wolves was not completely afraid of me, some of them were already trembling on the ground and did not dare to move, and even a few of them had turned around and fled into the depths of the cave. But there are a few who still maintain an offensive posture,
"Whew......" A wolf howl, the white wolf's eyes were even more blood-red, and several of them jumped up at the same time and pounced on me.
Just when I thought I was going to die this time, my body was lifted up violently, and I fell into the arms of a faint medicinal fragrance. I instinctively hugged the person who came, because I knew that the person who saved me was Qing Yu!
As soon as I got out of the cave, Qingyu put me down to check my injuries, and I hurriedly reminded him: "It's not too late to see my injuries back." The wolves are coming after us soon, let's get ...... away."
Qing Yu touched my head soothingly, and said disapprenosingly: "Don't worry, they won't chase me." ”
"Why?"
"They...... Fear of light. Without further ado, he turned around and plucked some herbs from the field, chewed them in his mouth, and applied them to my red, swollen ankles.
Afraid of light? So it's not me that they're afraid of, it's the glowing bead? Is it because they are afraid of light, so they won't leave the cave? This wolf's habits are strange!
"I know, you don't believe what Master said during the day." He spoke suddenly.
I looked at him in surprise, I thought that my performance during the day had been seamless, but he still saw the clues, indeed, I didn't believe the words of the Divine Doctor Valley Master, I didn't believe a word!
First of all, the Divine Doctor Valley Lord said that Yun Cheng led them to eradicate the gangsters, so they should have entered from the outside. Judging from the shape of the bones of those medicine boys, they should have been killed when they came out of the cave, which is inconsistent with the facts.
Again, the truth that the dead are the greatest, and the truth of being buried is safe even for three-year-old children understands, but the Divine Doctor Valley, who practices the world in a dignified manner, puts corpses all over the ground and does not collect them, and even the corpses of his own people are left to the wilderness of corpses, how can the doctor say that he is benevolent.
Also, the corpses in the cave are only medicine boys and cage martial arts masters, so isn't there any casualty among the villains in the mouth of the Divine Doctor Valley Master?
