Chapter Ninety-Four: The Nine Mazes
Su Yunran didn't expect that the valley master would agree so quickly.
However, Qingyu on the side shook his head a little anxiously: "Yun Ran, you have to think clearly." There are only three chances to break through the Nine Maze, and if you fail all three times, you will never have a chance. β
Qin Yu hadn't told Su Yunran the rules of the Nine Maze Formation before, and this rule was three chances. If you can't pass three times, then you can only stay in Yifang Valley for the rest of your life.
Su Yunran realized that this matter was not as easy as he thought, but the words had already been spoken, was it not good to retreat at this time?
Besides, she didn't expect to get through it once. You have to try it once and understand the situation in the Nine Maze so that you can make adjustments. So, this time, she still insisted on giving it a try.
Rong Yuefang smiled enchantingly, leaning back on the Taishi chair to look at her: "What, are you afraid?" There are only three chances, and once is one less. β
Su Yunran nodded: "I know that my knowledge of poison art is far from enough, but I still want to give it a try." β
Rong Yuefang clapped his hands: "Very good, young people should be a little bold." Kotoha, go get ready. β
Qin Yu left, and Rong Yuefang casually asked her a few questions about poisonous weeds and poisonous flowers. Su Yunran answered fluently, Rong Yuefang was very satisfied, but not as surprised as Qin Yu.
"Listen to Qin Yu say that you know medical skills? It seems to be true, if there is no foundation, it is impossible to write down the medicinal properties and toxicity of poisonous flowers and poisonous herbs in such a short period of time. You are very perceptive, and I am a little reluctant to let you go now. β
Su Yunran smiled and said respectfully: "The valley master has praised it, my understanding of poison art is still very shallow, but it's a pity ......"
Rong Yuefang raised his eyebrows, a pair of Danfeng eyes were very soul-dementoring: "What is a pity?" β
Su Yunran lowered his head and said, "It's a pity that such a good opportunity, I can only choose to give up." β
Rong Yuefang laughed stupidly: "It's indeed a problem, but there is a third option." You can worship me as a teacher, so that you will be a member of the valley. You can't leave the valley, but I can send someone to tell your family that you're safe. β
Su Yunran was silent, and there was a sentence that was blocked in his throat and he couldn't say or swallow it. Hiding from the valley owner, she was uneasy, and she wanted to say that she was afraid that the valley owner, who did not follow common sense, would come up with any new rules. For a while, the two villains in her heart were inseparable.
"Valley Master, everything is ready."
Rong Yuefang looked at Su Yunran: "It's all ready, then let's go!" Let me see what you've learned in the past few days, and if it's not in vain that I saved you. β
Su Yunran heard Qin Yu say that the Nine Maze Array was just nine poisons, and now it seems that she was really naΓ―ve.
A corner of the back mountain, a medicine field that has been far away from here. On the stone wall covered with vines, three looming words were revealedβNine Mazes.
The valley lord opened the mechanism, the stone door opened, and the mountain turned out to be hollow as far as the eye could see.
"Let's go inside! But it's too late for you to regret it now. The valley lord said with a smile, she seemed to smile like this all along, and that smile had a natural charm.
Su Yunran shook his head: "Whether it's successful or not, I'll give it a try." β
Rong Yuefang smiled slightly, and took out a bell from his sleeve: "You take this, if you can't hold it, you can ring it." β
Su Yunran took the bell, thinking that it shouldn't be needed, right? Besides, with such a thick stone door, if she really rings the bell, will anyone be able to hear it?
She turned and entered the cave, and the Nine Maze was completely different from what she had imagined.
Qin Yu said that the Nine Maze Array is actually the Nine Poisons, and now it seems that this is not the case. At least for now, it seems more like there's something else going on.
The cave is deep, but the passage is very spacious. There were torches lit along the way, and she didn't know how long she walked, but she finally saw an open place. There was a pond in the middle, and in it grew a flower that she had never seen before, and it was more beautiful and fragrant than a hibiscus.
Su Yunran frowned, she originally thought that the Nine Maze Array was related to Qimen gossip, but Qin Yu said that she was thinking too complicated. But the Nine Maze Array I saw right now was nothing, what could it be if it wasn't Qimen?
Oops, if it's the Qimen Bagua Technique, then she really won't be able to pass the test.
I can't care about it so much, let's take it one step at a time! Putting away the bell in his hand, Su Yunran walked towards the open place.
"Lady! I knew you were alive. A voice came from behind her, and Su Yunran turned her head in surprise and looked at Liang Hezhen's familiar face.
"Phase...... Messire! Su Yunran's face was full of astonishment, but he couldn't hide his surprise. She was worried that she would be trapped in Yifang Valley forever, but she didn't expect Liang Hezhen to find her.
Liang Hezhen hugged her into his arms, but Su Yunran was full of doubts after the surprise: "Xianggong, how did you find me?" β
Liang Hezhen held her hand and put it in his heart: "I thought of you in my heart, and I found this place." β
Su Yun was dyed with black lines all over his head, this ...... Is it a local love story?
Su Yunran sneered: "Seriously! I've been missing for so long, my parents are in a hurry, right? I'm afraid everyone thinks I'm dead, how did you find this place, Xianggong? β
Before Liang Hezhen could answer, Su Yunran suddenly thought of the invisible miasma and Qimen gossip outside the valley that took people's lives every minute.
No, this is not right, if Liang Hezhen broke into the valley, then why didn't she hear the warning bell in the valley before?
The last time she heard the bell was a few days ago, and the time the trekker was injured and left without returning.
So, how did Liang Hezhen come to Yifang Valley? He couldn't help but come to Yifang Valley, and followed closely behind him to the Nine Maze Array.
Qin Yu said that the Nine Maze Array was a forbidden place by default in Yifang Valley, and even the people of the valley would not come to this place. So how did Liang Hezhen find this place accurately? He appeared behind him, so didn't the people in Fang Gu notice that he entered the Nine Maze Formation?
Su Yunran suddenly pushed Liang Hezhen away and took a few steps back: "Who are you?" β
She looked at Liang Hezhen vigilantly, Liang Hezhen frowned and looked hurt: "Lady, am I your father-in-law?" What's wrong with you? β
Liang Hezhen seemed to be in a hurry to explain, so he quickly stepped forward and approached Su Yunran. And Su Yunran also quickly retreated: "Don't come here!" β
Liang Hezhen stopped, his eyes were full of sadness: "What's wrong with the lady?" Didn't you hurt your brain and don't remember me? β
Su Yunran quickly calculated, then walked towards Liang Hezhen with a relaxed smile: "No, I was just a little uncomfortable just now, and I don't know what happened to me just now." β
Liang Hezhen regained his smile at this time, and Su Yunran took the initiative to hug him. However, in the next vote, Su Yunran threw him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder fall.
She looked at the people on the ground coldly: "I only now understand why the valley lord gave me a bell. It's hallucination, right? If I don't wake up on my own, I'll just sink into it. β
Su Yunran pulled out the hairpin with her curled hair and made a cut between herself, blood dripped out, and Su Yunran suddenly felt lightheaded.
The fragrance of flowers that could no longer be smelled just now came back to the nose, and the 'Liang Hezhen' on the ground had long since disappeared.
It turns out that the fragrance of this flower can make people hallucinate.
However, after waking up for a while, Su Yunran felt that her consciousness was a little uncontrollable again, and she didn't care about it so much, so she plunged into the pool.
Strange to say, the moment I plunged into the water, my brain cleared up a lot. The smell of the flowers was gone, but she thought that the water was not an antidote, but only a temporary barrier to the damage of the flowers to her nerves.
The book that Qin Yu gave her did not record this kind of poisonous flower that could hallucinate people, but she had seen another poisonous flower that could also hallucinate people. This poisonous flower and fruit are often in a state of restraint, so she may be able to find an antidote from the roots.
Su Yunran had only learned to dive briefly, but now she couldn't hold her breath for too long without diving equipment.
Time passed by second, and Su Yunran was trying very hard to pull out the roots, but she was disappointed.
She quickly surfaced and gasped for air, the suffocating sensation almost making her faint. However, as soon as I breathed in the air of the portrait, the uncontrollable feeling of consciousness came back to me.
What to do? Can't she even pass the first level?
Su Yunran was unwilling, she could only dive back into the water. But that's not the way to go, she can't stay in the water all the time, right?
Soon Su Yunran realized that her current mood was in chaos, and if she continued like this, it would only get worse, so she had to calm herself down as soon as possible.
The level set up by the valley master can't be an unsolvable poison, it must be something she ignored!
Su Yunran paid the surface of the water again, and quickly looked around with his breath in his breath. There are bare stone walls all around, and there is not even a root grass, so what is the antidote......
Su Yunran's gaze was fixed on the water, and he forgot to hold his breath for a while.
Sensing uncontrollable consciousness, she quickly dived into the water, this time opening her mouth to take a few sips.
When I drank this water, I immediately felt a little strange, this water actually had a ...... Acerbity!
It's not the sour taste of vinegar, it's more like the sour taste of fruit, and it has a fresh aroma that is a bit like lemon after the mouth.
She surfaced again, this time not holding her breath and gasping for breath. A second, two, or three seconds passed, and the uncontrollable floating sensation of consciousness before did not come back to me.
Su Yunran smiled self-deprecatingly, it seemed that she had made the right bet.
But this time it should be said that it was mostly a fluke, and it seems that she really underestimated the enemy.
Climbing out of the pond, Su Yunran felt that he was already a little tired and paralyzed. I haven't done anything, so why do I feel weak in my hands and feet?
His eyes once again fell on the flowers in the water, and it was strange that after drinking this water, Su Yunran couldn't smell the fragrance of the flowers.
Such a magical flower has not been recorded in the book, and it seems that it is necessary for her to take one and study it.
As soon as he said it, he entered the water again and uprooted one and entered the space. In order to prevent herself from being tricked again, she simply filled a bucket of water from the pond into it.
This is the first level, and it has almost been planted, and Su Yunran has to be careful to deal with it. After resting for a while, she finally continued to walk forward and entered the second level.
