Chapter 123: Under the Dry Well
Although the southern realm is warmer than the imperial city of the Celestial Empire, it is also the cold winter season, and the dark night forest is adjacent to it, and the night is still very cold.
Qiu Jue and they prepared winter clothes in advance, but it was still a little cold at night.
wrapped in the cold clothes on his body, he replied angrily, "I am suffering from chronic poison, and I am not going to die immediately, what is there to worry about?" ”
"Then why is your soul and body incompatible, and who are you?"
Qiu Jue wanted to roll her eyes, but here she is again, how is she going to answer this question?
Could it be said that I am from another time and space, from the 21st century, and my soul is attached to this woman's body.
It just so happened that their names were the same, and their genders were not reversed, so she could only stay here now and live a good life.
"The Queen Mother of the Heavenly Dynasty, have you asked enough?"
Seeing that the lark has been out for a long time, he still hasn't come back.
Qiu Jue turned around and reasoned with Xie Qianjian.
"I say, are you a god or a liar?"
Seeing that Qiu Jue finally looked at him, Xie Qianjian became excited, sat down on the branch, and said seriously: "I am not a god stick or a liar, I am a poison saint in the world." ”
"Still a poison saint?" Qiu Jue pouted, "Even my little poison can't be cured." ”
When Xie Qianjian heard this, he became anxious, "You call it a little poison?" ”
"Isn't that right? I was just on the road. ”
Qiu Jue is angry, he is uncomfortable.
"It can't be." Xie Qianjian muttered, and then said, "Although I don't know what this detoxification method is? But her method of practicing poison can be inferred one or two, and she can't do it without twenty years of immersion. ”
Qiu Jue was stunned, is this still an old guy?
What is the relationship between that person and the little emperor?
"That's not right, in addition to the people of the Medicine King Valley, there are other people in the world who are so powerful, but I don't know?"
Xie Qianjian fell into deep thought again.
Qiu Jue only vaguely heard this sentence, so he asked, "Medicine King Valley?" What is that place? ”
In the book, however, you often see this name.
Generally speaking, it is a group of old immortals with excellent medical skills, living in escape with their descendants, not saving them when they see death, asking for medicine with a lot of money, and all kinds of bridges are not new.
And these people have a good medical skill but only study and do not help the world, she has never understood the meaning of such existence.
Perhaps, for the sake of mystery!
"That place ......" Speaking of this, Xie Qianjian's voice was slightly low, and Qiu Jue could clearly feel his trance.
At this point, neither of them spoke again.
After a while, the sky was bright, and the oppressive gray mist overhead gradually dispersed, revealing the entire sky.
"Huh? It's dawn. ”
Qiu Jue was in a daze, when he heard Xie Qianjian say this.
Then the voice of the lark followed.
"Mother, you've found an exit!"
Qiu Jue immediately stood up, and the lark man had already arrived under the tree, and jumped on the branch of the tree with a light effort, pulled Qiu Jue up, and brought her down.
Then he went up again, and neatly packed up their burdens, carried them behind their backs, and hurried over there together.
Qiu Jue only felt that his leg was about to break, and he walked for half an hour before he reached that place.
When they approached, they found that these people had been waiting in place for a long time.
The dense trees suddenly thinned out here, but only compared to this place, of course.
They were gathered in one place, and Qiu Jue approached to find that there was a dry well here.
At first glance, it was artificially dug up, "Doesn't it mean that this place can only be entered and not exited?" How is it that someone still digs a well here? ”
As soon as Qiu Jue spoke, several people turned around.
"This was discovered by the second son, and there is a shallow river underneath."
Shallow river? To put it bluntly, it's an underground river.
Qiu Jue rolled her eyes, "You don't want to swim out of here, do you?" ”
It was an underground river, and as far as she knew, there were many dark rivers and tributaries, and if she wasn't careful, she might go in opposite directions and become two directions.
And it may never end in it.
If you are accidentally washed directly to a place like a cliff and waterfall, you will be crushed and your bones will be gone.
However, those people had a natural expression.
"Queen Mother, you can be content, now it is very good to find a path of hope. Otherwise you'll just wait here to feed the bears! ”
Ularixing gave an explanation, thinking that Qiu Jue really deserves to be everyone's lady, and she can't bear this hardship.
"You're looking for death!"
As a result, the lark was not happy again.
Ularixing stopped speaking for an instant, and at this moment, the second prince spoke, "The river below here is very gentle, and the trend is not urgent, the exit is a river, there is not much danger." ”
"Have you gone down?"
Qiu Jue was surprised, and the second son nodded.
The lark explained in a low voice, "The second son went down alone last night, and he found a way out before he asked the slave to inform everyone." ”
Qiu Jue couldn't say what the emotion in her heart was, she only knew that a feeling of admiration arose.
Right here and now.
It stands to reason that such a person is very deep in the city, but he is willing to take risks for others, if he reigns in the world, then everyone will be convinced, right?
Qiu Jue thought a little far, not only her, but even the Ula brothers and sisters admired him very much, "I didn't expect the second son to be so affectionate and righteous, if you can go out this time, our brothers and sisters owe you a favor." ”
Xie Qianjian also made a statement, and even gave him an antidote pill, which is said to be able to cure a thousand poisons in the world.
Qiu Jue disdained this, after all, he couldn't cure the poison on her body.
But the second son cherished it very much, and directly put it away and hugged his fists to thank him.
A group of six people decided to go down, and the second son understood the following situation, so he led the way first, Ulari Ruixing was second, his sister followed the third, and then Qiu Jue and Skylark followed, and Xie Qianjian swept the tail.
Fortunately, all six of them are water-sensitive, otherwise this time it would be really fatal.
The vines that went down the well were very strong, and they soon reached the bottom of the well, and a little further down, they could feel the thick vapor and the cold smell.
Among the several people, except for Ula Yingyue and Qiu Jue, they are all masters, and they can distinguish the direction by listening to the movement, they did not light the fire, Qiu Jue was completely dark, grabbing the wrist of the lark and walking forward.
But the more she walked, the more panicked she became, not because she didn't trust the lark, but because the unknown made her extremely insecure.
I am obviously not blind, but I have experienced the feeling of being blind, which is really bad.
The road under her feet was not smooth, and she had to bend over, and from time to time she would bump into the uneven wall next to her, and the cold and sharp made her feel more sensitive.
"Mother, be careful."
The lark seemed to sense her nervousness and calmed her with words.
Qiu Jue was quite nervous, "Why don't you light the fire?" ”
The lark explained in a small voice: "The situation here is unknown, and there is a secret underground river, I'm afraid there are unknown creatures, let's be careful." ”
Hey?
Is that so?
It is generally played on TV, and when it goes underground, it is lit in order to see the current environment, and sure enough, it is all deceptive on TV.
Qiu Jue didn't speak anymore at the moment, and followed others all the way, and after a quarter of an hour, Qiu Jue couldn't stand this atmosphere at first.
So he chatted quietly with the lark, but the master and servant had nothing to talk about, and the lark had to be distracted to take her, so they couldn't talk at all.
Therefore, Qiu Jue couldn't walk.
gradually adapted to the darkness, but she was still one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the second son should stop first and let everyone rest.
When Qiu Jue heard this, he felt that these two sons were actually very caring.
A few people ate some dry food, drank two sips of water, and then set out on the road again.
The darkness under the ground was too oppressive, and finally Xie Qianjian couldn't stand it anymore, "I haven't suffered this kind of sin when I'm so big, how long will it take to get to the end?" ”
He was tall and strong, so he bent his waist even more, almost bowing his body to walk, and the feeling of emptiness in the back made people imagine a lot out of thin air, which made him even more grumpy.
The second prince said unhurriedly: "At our current speed, there is still an hour before we reach the place where the underground river is connected." ”
"An hour?" At this time, not only Xie Qianjian was speechless, but even the Ula brothers and sisters were speechless.
"It's crazy."
The lark didn't say anything, obviously it was nothing to her, and it could be seen from this that where is the gap between the dark guard and ordinary people?
Several people stopped.
At this moment, Qiu Jue opened his mouth and said, "Second son, I really worked hard for you last night!" ”
In a word, it was pointed out that in order to find a way out, the road under his feet has already been walked.
At the moment, they are still picking and complaining, which is really incomprehensible.
Qiu Jue's words were not heavy, and he didn't say anything about them, but a few people couldn't understand it, and they didn't say anything at the moment.
"It's okay, this section is actually safer, if you are tired, you can rest for a while."
Qiu Jue saw that the atmosphere had calmed down, so he immediately asked, "Since this section is safe, let's light the fire!" ”
Hearing her say this, Ula Yingyue's hand immediately had a night pearl, which instantly illuminated the narrow passage.
Sure enough, people are still suitable for living in the light.
Darkness gives people too much reverie, and it also brings too much fear to people's minds.
Several people squatted down, and only then did they see what kind of road they had walked.
In the passage, which only allows two people to walk side by side, the surrounding walls are uneven and have tiny holes.
"Huh? Why are these two walls not the same color? ”
Ula Yingyue was the first to notice the problem and sighed lightly.
Everyone took a serious look, and sure enough, one side of the two walls was gray and the other was light gray, but the gap was not obvious, so no one cared.
Coupled with its potholes, I really can't see it.
"Maybe the structure of this mountain just happened to be disconnected from here." Qiu Jue comforted herself and forcibly explained with the knowledge she had learned.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry, the reason why this passage can be dug is also because of the different soil quality." The second son is like a jack-of-all-trades who knows everything.
Hearing this, Urarim pulled out his saber and directly slashed it on the left and right, and as a result, the left blade was inserted a lot, and a little dirt was brought out.
The tip of the knife on the right only pierced a little, and it almost hit a spark, showing how hard it was.
"When they were digging this channel, there were special people who measured it and instructed them to excavate, but it's such a big project, no one should know about it."
