Volume 2 Guangxi Demon City Chapter 92 Zhaoyao Mountain (1)
The next day, in the Hall of Forgotten Worries, a chaos was unfolding.
"Qingxia, Xiaoyan, come on, my mother-in-law is sick again!" Li Zhong hurriedly beckoned the two young women and rushed to the pharmacy.
The courtyard of the Forgotten Worry Hall sits in the north and faces south, and the pharmacy is on the north side, and an old woman who is over the age of sixteen is frantically knocking drawers and drawers of medicinal materials to the ground.
This person is Wu Youxiang, the famous doctor of Forget Worry Hall, who is in a trance at the moment, and keeps shouting in his mouth: "Sauce tofu, pig's feet powder, snail noodles, apples, pears...... Anything, anything...... starved to death...... starved to death ......"
Qingxia rushed to the front and shouted, "Mother-in-law, those are not eaten, they are your medicinal herbs!" ”
Xiao Yan said: "It's useless, my mother-in-law's illness is getting worse and worse every time, and she can't hear us at all!" Alas, it's a pity, these cinnamon, cat beans, and angelica are all precious medicinal materials! ”
Li Zhong asked, "Do any of you remember when was the last time my mother-in-law had an illness?" How long did it last? ”
Qingxia thought for a while and said, "It's been thirty-eight days, and the last time it lasted four hours. ”
Li Zhong patted his head: "Alas, it's really getting more and more serious!" The old way, Xiaoyan, you go and get the rope. ”
"Good!" After Xiao Yan finished speaking, she quickly left the pharmacy and walked to the wing.
I saw Wu Youxiang grab the medicinal herbs on the ground one by one, pour them into his mouth, chew a few bites, spit them out again, and scolded in his mouth: "Phew! It's unpalatable! Then he used his ten fingers to scratch his face, scratched out red scratches, and continued to shout: "Why are you so hungry? Who's going to save me? Who's going to save me? ”
After speaking, he jumped up again, and with a wave of his hand, knocked down a blue and white porcelain vase on the table and shattered it to the ground.
Leaning less, Xiao Yan took a long hemp rope, and the three of them rushed up to press Wu Youxiang on the stool, Li Zhong said apologetically: "Mother-in-law, if you are offended, you can bear with it." ”
After all, the strength of the old woman was not as strong as the three of them combined, and after some struggle, she was firmly tied to the stool, and suddenly burst into tears: "Who are you...... You're not here to save me...... Get out! I want my left side...... And my sails, woo-woo-woo......"
All three sighed deeply.
Qingxia frowned and said: "Alas, if it weren't for my mother-in-law's life-saving grace back then, who would want to do such a way of living?" It's going to happen every three or five days, really...... Suffer ......"
Xiao Yan said: "Yes, we are all the same...... However, if we don't care about our mother-in-law, our mother-in-law will be too pitiful...... Alas, Li Zhong, you said, did those two outsiders find Zhu Yu? ”
Li Zhong sighed: "How can it be so smooth? Although those two people seem to have extraordinary temperament, what kind of strength are they...... Alas, if I can do a trick and a half, I really want to help myself......"
……
At this moment, on a flat ground on the top of Zhaoyao Mountain, Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing were staying in front of a giant unicorn stone statue.
The sinkhole is not large, and can only accommodate five or six people to enter, but it is not a vertical shaft that goes straight up and down, but clearly shows a step-like inclined direction. Pu Zixuan said: "The entrance to the tomb should be here, this stone statue must be the legendary tomb beast." There is also this passage, just because it has been too long, the original smooth steps can no longer be seen. ”
Chen Shuqing kept looking around, but seeing that the mountains were high and the roads were long, and the sky was beautiful, the county town of Guiping looked like a castle built by children on the beach from a distance, and sighed: "Although I am not proficient in feng shui, I have also heard Mr. slightly mention that those terraces in the distance just form the appearance of a tiger standing on a dragon plate, and the flat land on the top of this mountain, located in the middle, is the 'pearl' of 'Nine Dragons Playing Pearls', which is really a treasure land of feng shui!" ”
"It's a pity that the thought of it is about to become eerie, and I have no leisure for sightseeing. When we pick the fairy grass, let's come out together and watch the sunset side by side. ”
After Pu Zixuan finished speaking, he picked up two thick branches from the ground, handed one to Chen Shuqing, used it as a crutch, and took the lead in entering the passage.
As soon as they took two steps, an unexpected voice stopped the two: "Wait, who are you?" ”
The two of them looked at the voice, and they were suddenly speechless in shock - they saw that the person who came was none other than Li Zhong, who had forgotten his worries!
Chen Shuqing was puzzled and relieved: "Li Zhong? Will you help us too? ”
The person who came put on a big grin and laughed: "Hahaha, Li Zhong? I didn't know you knew my sweet brother! ”
Pu Zixuan turned back from the entrance of the cave: "Could it be that you are his twin brother?" ”
The person who came laughed and said: "Yes, I am the evil, notorious, and feared bandit in Guiping County, the twin brother of Li Zhong of Forget the Worry Hall, known as 'Niu Da'!" ”
Pu Zixuan's face was suddenly full of disdain: "There is still such a way to introduce yourself?" It's really a heaven and an underground with my brother. What advice do you have? ”
Niu Daodao: "What else can you do?" As long as I can earn money, I will do it! I'm not the same as that weak chicken-like brother, I can fight and carry, I have long been eyeing the treasure in this grave, as long as I can find that thing, I can exchange it with Dr. Wu for fifty taels of silver. ”
Chen Shuqing said: "Then we are really a little fateful." The baby you are talking about, but the fairy grass is more than enough? ”
Niu Dadao: "That's right, 'I wish you a pick, and the fragrance will come'." It's so strange that the inside of the tomb is so weird, and I've returned many times in vain, so I'm just staying here all year round and trying to figure out how to solve it. ”
Pu Zixuan said with a smile: "Since you can't get it, why don't you give it to us, in addition to being able to fight and carry, we also have a body of divine power." ”
"Oh? Could it be that you are from the Immortal Sword Hall? Is it a purification messenger? ”
Pu Zixuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that this Guangxi monster culture is really popular, he pursed his lips and said: "Immortal Sword Hall is not, but I am indeed a purification messenger, since you know our gap, don't get in our way." ”
Niu Da snorted: "I said, how can the people of the Immortal Sword Hall be eyeing such a small amount of money...... But these fifty taels of silver, ordinary people don't work for most of their lives? How can you say let it go? No one can get it until I get it! ”
"Whatever, I don't need your consent." After speaking, Pu Zixuan walked towards the entrance of the cave again.
"Stinky boy!" Niu Qi was in a hurry, pulled out an axe from his waist, and rushed towards Pu Zixuan.
On the side, Chen Shuqing only used a little demonic power, and Niu Da was pushed to the ground by a wave of qi.
Niu Da got up and laughed wildly: "Hahaha, you dare to use the power of purification against me, a mortal, your retribution is coming!" ”
"I'm sorry, I did it, I'm not a purification bringer." After speaking, Chen Shuqing suggested to Pu Zixuan, "Since there is a person who is familiar with the tomb, instead of being an enemy with it, how about a cooperation?" ”
"What? You want me to work with this roe deer guy? ”
Chen Shuqing said with a smile: "When you look at Li Zhong, do you also think that he is a roe deer? ”
Pu Zixuan was speechless, hesitated again and again, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, Niu Da, since you are for money and we are for medical treatment, why don't you work together to get that blessing?" When we finish the task, we will add five to the two, we will ask for fairy grass, and how about giving you twenty-five taels of silver as a reward? ”
Niu Da glanced at Pu Zixuan with disdain: "Cut, do you have so much money?" ”
Pu Zixuan was tired of this kind of questioning, took out a silver ticket from his arms and waved it: "Is this enough?" ”
Niu Da stared at the silver ticket, his eyes were straight, and he changed his anger towards Pu Zixuan, and made a respectful expression: "Yo, my lord, what a generous son!" Yes, I can't fight with you, and I don't have the ability to retrieve the fairy grass by myself, today there are two Bodhisattvas to help, twenty-five taels I admit! Besides, if I find a burial object or something, it will also belong to me, how about it? ”
"Deal." Pu Zixuan stepped out of the way, "You are familiar with the tomb, come, you go ahead." ”
Niu Da waved his hand and said: "Yo, my lord, you are the nemesis of the evil demon Dao, so you should go ahead." In case of any situation, I will remind you in time. ”
"Cut, can you still fight? It's just a little thief who can blow and weave. Pu Zixuan was also too lazy to speak, leaning on the branches, and cautiously walked towards the passage.
Chen Shuqing launched her demonic power, and a cloud of red light gathered in her hand, only to hear her shout, "Go!" The red light immediately turned into a ball of light, flying forward, hanging in the air, moving with the steps of the three of them.
The dark passage suddenly became bright.
After walking less than a stick of incense, the slope of the passage slowed down, gradually like flat ground, and after walking for a while, the sound of running water came more and more clearly ahead.
The land route ends here, and in front of it is a silvery-white stream that flows into depth with no end in sight.
Chen Shuqing said: "Sure enough, the tomb of the dignitaries is full of tricks, this dark river is the first line of defense, and the moat of the city is the same reason, many low-level tomb robbers can consider going home when they reach this level." ”
"Look, there's a boat here, so someone has been here." Pu Zixuan pointed to a small boat on the shore and said.
Niu Da said proudly: "This boat is where I put it here, look at how prescient I am, this size, it's no problem to sit three people, right?" ”
Pu Zixuan asked, "Then, did you successfully cross the river before?" Is the river safe? ”
Niu Daodao: "It's been in the past, it's absolutely safe!" It's just an ordinary river, and the difficulties are all behind. ”
"Then get on board." Chen Shuqing used a little mana, and the branches in the hands of the three of them were turned into oars.
Niu Da exclaimed: "Yo, my aunt, you are really not small!" ”
The three of them rowed the boat slowly, and after a short time they came to a corner, and they could only go to the left. Chen Shuqing said: "If you guess correctly, this tomb is a hollow-shaped structure, and if you turn left a few times, you can reach the center of the tomb." ”
Pu Zixuan said: "Why do I feel a little chest tightness and shortness of breath? ”
Niu Daodao: "You sons and brothers, when have you ever been in such a yin environment?" Bear with me. ”
Pu Zixuan was still puzzled: "No, I've had similar monster nests in Sichuan, and I haven't felt this way, I always feel ...... It's not the air, it's the river. ”
Chen Shuqing snorted and said: "If you talk about the sense of smell, I am much more sensitive than you, this river water is indeed not ordinary river water, every time you inhale, it seems that there is a slight poisonous gas entering the body, making the internal organs turn over the river and the sea." ”
Pu Zixuan suddenly realized: "Yes, it's poisonous gas, you see that the river water is silver, how does it look like a normal river?" If you guess correctly, it should be mercury correct! ”
Chen Shuqing said: "It is indeed mercury!" No, we've got to get out of here! ”
While talking, there was a rumbling sound at the bottom of the river, and just as the three of them were at a loss, a transparent stone-like object suddenly rose from the surface of the river and hung in the air.
What's even more terrifying is that the three of them can see clearly what is wrapped inside at the same time!
"Inside...... It's a baby! ”
