Chapter 100: The Secret Path

The elders deliberated, decided on the punishment of the traitor, and then summoned the villagers to announce the decision. This resolution passed without hindrance, and the people who were usually friends with Ben Sheng in the village did not dare to squeak. The villagers are surging, last night, many of their relatives were killed because of Ben Sheng, who killed a thousand knives to lure the wolf into the house, and now he plans to punish Ben Sheng with a heavy sentence, how can anyone object?

According to the experience and custom of executing traitors in the past, Ben Sheng was picked off his tendons and tendons, stripped of his clothes, and then coated with a layer of potion on his body, and then escorted to a large tree in the back mountain and tied up.

Chen Sheng didn't know what it was like, so he asked Qianlong what kind of effect this potion had.

The cold voice of the dragon told Chen Sheng that the potion has the power to attract all kinds of poisonous insects, and when applied to the body, it will attract a large number of mosquitoes, and when the time comes, these insects will suck people dry and bite to death......

In broad daylight, hearing such a punishment, Chen Sheng couldn't help but shudder. I thought that this kind of death was probably even more tragic than Ling Chi. After all, these barbarians were very different from this era, and Chen Sheng felt very uncomfortable when he heard such a punishment. This is an internal matter of the Yue clan, and he can't interfere with it. Besides, he also hated traitors, so he was relieved.

After a period of tidying up, the village of the Yue ethnic group has returned to normal order. Chen Sheng's energy was also put back on the old patriarch. In order to say a few more words to Ling Zhu'er, Chen Sheng's time to change the old patriarch's medicine became more and more frequent. In less than an hour, the old patriarch was given three changes in medicine. Every time I took advantage of the time to change the dressing, I would say a few words to Lingzhu'er who was guarding the side.

Lingzhu'er was still very timid at first, but after seeing Chen Sheng more times, she was not surprised, and she didn't need Chen Sheng to take the initiative to talk, she would also take the initiative to ask about Chen Sheng. However, what she asked was basically about the old patriarch's condition, and it had nothing to do with Chen Sheng.

The old patriarch's condition has stabilized. Perhaps it was the effect of that piece of Shou Wu, the old patriarch did not even have the kind of pale that had lost too much blood, and his face changed from yesterday's dead gray to a slightly ruddy pale, in general, this is the best indication of improvement.

Originally, Lingzhu'er wanted to continue to feed the remaining Shouwu to the old patriarch, but was stopped by Chen Sheng. The old patriarch is in a state of lack of replenishment, this elixir can be stopped, and if he eats too much, I am afraid that the old patriarch's current physique will not be able to withstand it.

After getting acquainted with Lingzhu'er for a long time, Chen Sheng also revealed his fundamental intentions, and asked Lingzhu'er, who often walks in this deep mountain, has found a shortcut that can bypass Wuyi Pass.

Although Ling Zhu'er was young, when she heard Chen Sheng ask this question, she immediately became vigilant, frowned and said, "Are you an officer and soldier of the Qin State?" "Obviously very vigilant.

When the Qin army moved south, the Dongou King once hyped the horror of the Qin people, trying to lure some indigenous villages that were not subject to the jurisdiction of the Dongou King to migrate away from the vicinity and not cooperate with the Qin people. Under the propaganda of the Dongou King, the Qin people have become as terrifying as the beasts of the flood. Fortunately, Zhao Tuo was a relatively clever commander, and every time he broke through the defense line of the Dongou King, he strictly ordered the soldiers not to burn, kill, plunder, and not to intrude on the villages along the way, and played the posture of a liberator, calling on the Yue people in Dongou to resist the rule of the Dongou King. Although this call did not have any effect, the Qin army did not intrude on the surrounding villages, and these villages did not harbor much hostility towards the Qin army. Despite this, the Qin army was always an outsider, and the local Yue people were naturally wary of it.

"It's not." Chen Sheng hurriedly explained. It is true that he is not an officer or soldier. Although he has the title of a fifth doctor, he is still an instructor of the Empire's most honored Praetorian Guard. But it doesn't have much to do with the ordinary Qin army.

"Then why are you asking this?" Ling Zhu'er tilted her head and asked puzzled.

"This ......" Chen Sheng originally thought that a simple and shy little girl could ask what she wanted in just two sentences, but he didn't expect that the more simple the girl, the more direct she was, and she blocked Chen Sheng's words at once, and blocked many lines that Chen Sheng had originally prepared.

Ling Zhu'er smiled faintly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth that had just been replaced, and said, "I know there is such a path. Then he paused and said, "But you shouldn't be able to go." ”

"Oh?" Chen Sheng thought that Lingzhu'er would not say any more, but he didn't expect Lingzhu'er to tell him this, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"To the west of Wuyi Pass, there is a cliff burial ground, which is the only place that can be crossed except from the pass of Wuyi Pass." Ling Zhu'er has two shallow dimples on her face, and she looks good when she smiles.

Chen Sheng frowned, thinking in his heart where Lingzhu'er was pointing. After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that it was mentioned in a report from the reconnaissance of the Praetorian Guards that in the southwest of Wuyi Pass, there are continuous cliffs, and the cliffs are full of hanging coffins, dense, and I don't know how many. The cliff is as high as forty or fifty zhang, which can be described as a natural danger. It's hard to climb the past.

I know there. Chen Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "It is a very steep mountain wall, and it is full of hanging coffins. ”

Lingzhu'er nodded. After a while, he said slowly: "There is a very hidden passage there, which can be easily accessed, only me and Shanbo know." ”

"Who is Sambo?" Chen Sheng almost asked for the name "Liang Shanbo", but thinking that Ling Zhu'er should not understand this level of cold jokes, he had to ask seriously.

"It's that big monkey, I've known it since I was very young, Grandpa said that it is the mountain god of our mountain, so everyone calls it Shanbo."

Chen Sheng nodded in surprise. He had heard some things about Lingzhu'er mentioned by Qilong, but when Lingzhu'er said it, he was even more surprised. But then he turned his attention back to the cliff path and asked questions about it. Ling Zhu'er also knew everything, and the answer she gave was very satisfactory to Chen Sheng.

"Lingzhu'er, why are you telling me this?" Chen Sheng was puzzled. From Ling Zhu'er's eyes, it can be clearly seen that she is still very wary of her identity, but in the end, she chose to help herself.

Ling Zhu'er lowered her head and looked at the old patriarch next to her a little nervously, her expression was obviously afraid that the old patriarch would blame her when he woke up. After a while, he said: "The king is not a good person, it was his people who hurt Grandpa, and Grandpa didn't let me and Shanbo go to him for revenge, so I ......"

Chen Sheng understood, this Lingzhu'er wanted him to help take revenge.
