Chapter 192: The Road is Restless
I took a little precaution, but saw that Bai Lu came back, she coughed, soaked, lowered her head and said: "Brother Zhou Bo, there is a dungeon over there, where the red light came from just now, I went to take a look, there is no Yingchun figure, I saw that this girl is indeed not there." ”
"Bai Lu, the red light was still on just now, but it suddenly went out, do you see what it is?" I asked.
She raised her head, shook her head at me sluggishly, pinched her neck and said as if she was uncomfortable: "I didn't see clearly, cough cough cough.. I just wanted to find the spring festival, but I didn't pay attention to those. ”
This is what I seem to think of the murals and ask again, "So, what do you see?" ”
"An iron prison is opened, and there is a bronze lid inside, and the reason why you can see it clearly is because the roof of the cave is bright, like the mouth of the well where people used to draw water." Bai Lu said.
I was stunned, isn't this exactly what is on the mural? The ashes of the burned witch were placed in bronze and thrown into a well, which was the top of the mountain, but the dungeon door was opened, and the bronze lid was opened.
Oops, it seems to be me, that day I touched the mechanism in the city, the cave and the mountain shook, could it be because the dungeon was opened, and the bronze was out of a certain formation, so it was opened, and only then did the corpse maggots of the antelope witch be summoned, and only then did the things that followed.
And I also understand a little bit, a certain kind of four-season wonder of the Four Seasons Mountain, estimated to be related to the formation drawn in the final pattern, after all, those divine beasts have always had attributes, since ancient times, there are words and clouds from the dragon, the wind from the tiger, and the five beasts of the heavenly officials, but also represent the gold, wood, water, fire and earth, all have this meaning, so when imprisoning the antelope witch, it is estimated that the formation works, so there is a mountain with four distinct seasons, the water temperature is constant, it does not freeze, and it also grows Ganoderma lucidum, but due to the change of the dungeon, the sealed bronze is out of place, so everything is invalid.
This antelope witch has a good ability, decomposing the corpse maggot can help the wooden man to resurrect, and through its water, it can allow He Kui's predecessors to live for hundreds of years, which is really a strange person.
No matter what, these things will be tangerine peel and rotten grain in the future, and they will become clouds of the past, at most, they will come to brag when they are old, and now the important thing is that Bai Lu has realized that this girl has realized that Yingchun is not in it, so she can go out with peace of mind.
So we went back the way we came, and soon we got out of the cave and returned to the top of the mountain, looking around, and we could still find some wild vegetable roots and wild mushrooms, and we could barely make do with some stew on the road.
Soon down the mountain, fortunately saw that Yun Wen was fine, the horses, carts and goods were safe, so we hurried on the road to prepare to leave the Xiying City and go back to the post station.
Came out early, and now the sun has only fully risen, and we have a whole day to walk, although we don't know how to go back, after all, when we came, we were tricked by those ghost claw flowers with illusions, but since there is a way to come, there must be a circuit, no matter what, we can walk back.
Yun Wen hurriedly went over to help Bai Lu, but Bai Lu was still coughing, and coughing so much that her throat was smoking.
"Sister Bai Lu, what's wrong with you?" Yun Wen asked.
Bai Lu shook his head and waved his hand, and said: "Ahem, it's okay, it's just that I choked on water just now, let's go quickly, it's best to rush to the post station before dark, otherwise we will easily encounter wild beasts in the wild, Zhou Bo's arm is not good, it is easy to be in danger, and we can't delay." ”
"That's right, we have to leave quickly, but Bai Lu, you better drink some water first, otherwise your throat will be bad." I said.
Bai Lu obediently took a sip, but it did not alleviate her symptoms.
But I can't take care of so much, I can't push the cart, and I don't listen to me very much, I can only be led by Yunwen, and it is not easy to be tempered, so I can only do light work, keep an eye on the side, and pay attention to the surrounding situation.
Finally out of the south gate of the city, back to the direction we came, there were still those ghost claw flowers around, but I had prepared a damp cloth to cover my nose in advance, so it would be fine.
Outside the south city gate, under the two tall mountain ranges, Yun Wen and I bowed to this city, there are many bad people here, Wang Gang, the deputy envoy of the Dragon Hunting Camp, and that group of followers, as well as the Antelope Witch, the Red-Eyed Monster, etc., but there are also good people, He Kui's predecessors and the seniors who provided us with the basement of the residence, and of course, the nine-tailed white fox.
Dust to dust, dust to dust, will not come again, everything disappears in time, I gave a military salute as a tribute, whether it is to enemies or friends.
Ahem, ahem...
Bai Lu was still coughing, but she also nodded.
Continue to set off on the road, go out from outside the city, there will be no stone road, surrounded by mountain roads, weeds and branches, faintly someone stepped out of the road, so I will go first, and let Yunwen make a mark while walking, so as not to get lost.
I saw that Bai Lu was coughing badly, so I also went over to help her push, and bear a little bit of force, my arm wound should be able to support it, but she coughed a few more times at this time, and said, "It's okay, Brother Zhou Bo, don't break the wound, it's not good to give you medicine on the way." ”
Strange, even if you are choked by the water to the trachea, cough a few times smoothly, and slowly it will be fine, this coughed all the way, coughing from the north gate to the south gate, and coughing from the city to the outside of the city, and now it is about to walk out of the canyon, still coughing, this time is too long, and the sound of this cough is more and more tearing, it should not be a simple choking of water, but like something stuck.
"Bai Lu, you tell me the truth, you really just choked on water?" I asked.
She deliberately lowered her head to respond to me, but the existence of my ears is not something that ordinary people can deceive, when I asked this sentence, her heart was obviously beating faster, presumably there was something she wanted to hide from me, and she should cry more than now on weekdays, after all, her sister was sure to be gone, but she seemed a little indifferent to this, but her emotions were more in the fear of something.
Ahem, ahem...
She covered her mouth and tried to cough quietly, which was a subconscious cover-up, afraid that I would know some truth.
Out of the canyon, it was a completely unfamiliar road, with a large pine forest, no exact road, only endless snowy roads and those pine and cypress trees, and when I got here, I could hear the sound of animals, and I was a little vigilant to avoid danger.
"Sister Bai Lu, let me help you smooth out, you must have been stuck in your throat by something, you will cough up your throat if you continue like this, Zhou Bo, can you stop for a while?" Yun Wen asked obediently.
"Don't stop, don't worry about me, let's go back quickly, Sister Yunwen, don't you think I'm coughing in the way?" Bai Lu asked.
Yun Wen hurriedly shook her head.
And at this time, Bai Lu coughed loudly again, at this time, she really coughed up blood, Yun Wen hurriedly came over to support her, I also hurried to help, the two of us helped her up, who knew that she had a nosebleed, at the same time I also saw her eyes clearly, it was already seriously congested, I was tall before, and she kept her head down slightly, I didn't see it clearly, and now I see her rigorous so abnormal.
"Sister Bai Lu, what's wrong with you? Poisoned? Do you know what poison is and how to solve it? I'll help you find an antidote right away! Yun Wen hurriedly said.
"Don't throw me down, don't throw me down, I may swallow something that shouldn't be swallowed, Brother Zhou Bo, you should know what it is, now I feel very strange in my body, especially my eyes, which are hot and painful, and my throat is about to burn." Bai Lu said.
And when Yun Wen and I saw Bai Lu again, we took a step back at the same time, I opened my eyes wide, looking at this scene that was cold to the bones, only to see that Bai Lu's nosebleed stopped flowing, and her face recovered, although the wheezing sound was slightly louder, but it was basically normal, and the cough was also eased, but her eyes...
It was a blood-red light!
If there is a better way to describe it, it is extremely similar to the red-eyed monster, the wooden man and even the antelope witch, even identical, with black-red pupils, pupils like a blooming flower, the whites of the eyes are pale red, and the whole eyeball is emitting a red light at the edges.
"What's wrong? What exactly do you see? Bai Lu asked uneasily, but in the blink of an eye, the color faded again...
