Chapter 98: Stepping into the Hidden City
"Your Highness, ghosts, there are really ghosts!"
"Your Highness, his face, his face......"
"Fangs, this ancestor actually has fangs!"
For a while, I didn't know who started it, but when I said it, rumors suddenly spread.
At this time, the dense fog also swept overwhelmed, and the originally well-trained guards were completely disrupted by the changes in front of them.
The whole team was disorganized, and the sound of swords, screams, and flesh cutting could be heard everywhere.
"Don't panic. Don't kill each other! Chu Yu's voice came with a mixed internal breath.
From far and near, it reaches everyone's ears, like the best requiem. Let all the restless guards get a moment of peace.
"Bang bang."
With a few heavy and powerful clicks, all the guards were instantly unable to move.
Looking back, I don't know what Chu Yu did.
The fog, which was still dense and invisible, had all dissipated, and everyone could see their surroundings clearly after the fog had faded.
At the moment, apart from their own people, there are no grimaces, fangs.
But, just ......
"Your Highness!" Xufeng was the first to notice that something was wrong and shouted.
Everyone looked at it, and then they realized. Not to mention that the team was chaotic, and Lu Zhan, the prince of South Vietnam, was nowhere to be found.
Chu Yu's face was even more gloomy and terrifying, "Very good, you can rob people right under my nose." ”
Not to mention that there are few people in this world who can do it.
Just talking about the prestige of her Holy Poison Sect ancestor, it is not trampled on like this.
"Ancestor, what now?" Void wind, a little flustered.
If Lu Zhan had been arrested before, he wouldn't have been like this.
But the current Lu Zhan is not as good as a weak scholar, and the other party is so treacherous, which is really worrying.
He Jun, don't be as flustered as Xufeng. But he still looked ugly and said: "Find!" Even if you turn this place upside down. We also want to find out His Highness. ”
"It doesn't have to be such a hassle." Unexpectedly, Chu Yu said with a smile in his eyes.
"Ancestor, do you have a way?" The crowd was puzzled.
Chu Yu just took out a black ceramic bottle and smiled mysteriously at everyone.
……
……
By the time Lu Zhan woke up, the sky was getting dark.
Looking around, Lu Zhan found that although the furnishings in this house were simple and simple. But it was orderly and spotless, so Lu Zhan could be sure that it was not the "weirdo" he and the guards saw that living here was not a normal person.
But why did the man arrest him?
"You're awake." Before Lu Zhan could sort out his thoughts, a plain and masked woman walked in.
She still had a steaming decoction in her hand, and seemed to ......
"This is for me?" Lu Zhan asked, looking at the decoction medicine that was close at hand.
"Otherwise, you think I need to drink medicine?" The woman's voice was like a yellow warbler, she smiled dumbly, and handed over the decoction.
But Lu Zhan didn't answer for a long time, just looked at the other party with a vigilant and puzzled face.
Until the other party said, "You have no inner breath, and there is a lot of miasma here." If you don't drink this medicine, you may be very hurtful. ”
"Why should I believe you?" Lu Zhan still didn't let go.
This man took her captive and now gave him medicine.
Who knows if this is poison or good medicine.
"It's not that I took you captive, but that I happened to save you." The woman explained, "I don't think they have a penchant for eating people. ”
"Them?" Cannibalism?
Lu Zhan's expression was dark and uncertain, and a pair of fox eyes were shining.
"It's them, it's not them." The woman explained, "Didn't you see it when you came in?" A blue-red face, with a pair of long fangs, and a cry that is sometimes weird and sometimes noisy? ”
Lu Zhan hesitated again and again, and finally said, "I saw it, but I don't know what this thing is?" ”
"You see, you are so calm, are you not afraid?" The woman asked instead of answering.
Obviously, for a man as handsome and extraordinary as Lu Zhan, just like a fairy in a painting.
It's that people are a little curious.
Lu Zhan was very displeased, so he didn't answer a word.
Seeing this, the woman pursed her lips and said, "That's a mandrill, and the rumored mountain spirits and wild monsters can eat people." ”
"Actually......" Lu Zhan said.
The woman didn't expect Lu Zhan to say this, so she was stunned before she said, "Who are you?" It doesn't look like a normal person. ”
When ordinary people heard this, they were already frightened and overwhelmed when they saw the mandrill again.
How can he still be calm.
But if you are not an ordinary person, how can you not even have internal interest?
"And who are you?" Lu Zhan, learning from her according to the gourd painting, asked instead of answering: "Is it normal for you to live alone in this jungle as a woman, knowing the mandrill but not being afraid." ”
"I was rescued by mandrills, and naturally I am not afraid. But you seem to be a rich and noble family, why do you come to such a desolate place? And you're not alone. Otherwise, how can you get here? "Woman, replied.
If others are concerned, why she was rescued by the mandrill.
But Lu Zhan didn't, he just raised his eyes and glanced at the other party lightly, "You didn't tell the truth." ”
Just when the woman was about to argue, Lu Zhan added lightly, "But it doesn't matter, it's normal for you to hide something when you meet in Pingshui." But there's one thing you have to tell the truth, or you'll ......."
"Otherwise what?"
The Lu Zhan in front of him was obviously a celestial figure, but his eyes were dyed with killing.
The woman shuddered.
"Otherwise you might pay with your life." Lu Zhan hooked his lips and said with a smile.
"Is it just you?" The woman laughed when she heard this.
It's a pity that her laughter suddenly stopped before it could reach far away, not that she didn't want to laugh. But......
"Of course I can't, but unfortunately the people around me can." Lu Zhan, looking at the people who had already arrived, smiled coldly.
Xufeng clenched the woman's throat at the moment, and didn't pity the jade at all: "Your Highness, is this the person who kidnapped you?" ”
There is no doubt that as long as Lu Zhan answers yes.
The Void Wind must have killed her directly.
"She said no." Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "As for whether it is or not, you still need to ask in detail." ”
After hearing his words, Xufeng immediately understood, "Yes." Your Highness. ”
Then he quickly clicked on the other party's big acupoint, "Girl, unlike His Highness, I have never been patient, and I am very ruthless. So girl, are you really going to resist and not tell the truth? ”
"You ......," the woman said with a blue face, "who are you?" ”
Your Highness, where did you come from in this barren mountain range?
"The prince of Nanyue, the northern Tang Zhan. Ever heard of it? Xufeng's smile did not change, but he didn't know when he had an extra dagger in his hand.
The cold light was cold, and the throat was sealed with blood.
"He's the prince of South Vietnam? No, how is that possible. The woman apparently didn't believe it.
Xufeng didn't say much, but just said, "Tell me, who you are, what your name is, and why you're here." ”
At first, the woman was reluctant to cooperate, but after half a cup of tea, she ......
Xufeng handed the bloody dagger in his hand to He Jun, "For the rest, you continue to ask, I will go and communicate with His Highness and the Old Ancestor." ”
"Okay." He Jun nodded happily.
In inverse proportion to it, the woman had long since lost her initial arrogance at this moment, but shook her head desperately, "I don't know, I really don't know the rest." ”
It's a pity that He Jun has never been pitiful and cherishes jade.
Even more so to the enemy.
"It's okay if you don't know, I can help you recover your memory." He Jun sneered and began to interrogate.
Meanwhile.
Xufeng went around to the back of the house and met with Chu Yu and Lu Zhan, who were carefully searching.
"Your Highness, Ancestor, I've already asked about that person, just as you expected. There are secrets but not masterminds, and not much is known. "Void Wind Road.
Lu Zhan's words didn't seem to say anything.
In fact, they have explained everything that should be explained, but this is their long-term tacit understanding, and others can hear it but can't see the clues.
"What about mandrills?" Lu Zhan nodded and continued to ask.
It was terrifying, and they had never heard of it before.
"No, she doesn't seem to know much." Xufeng said truthfully: "But that thing, Your Highness, is it really not a mountain spirit and a wild monster, just an animal?" ”
The Void Wind is still a little unbelievable.
But it looks so much like a person, both in terms of face and body.
What's more important is that Xufeng has never seen such a strange animal since he was a child.
"Do you think that animals are only cats and dogs? There are no wonders about the size of the world. "Chu Yu, looking at such an ignorant void wind, I can't help but feel a little embarrassed.
But after a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Ah Zhan, how did you know about mandrills?" ”
It is true that even after living for hundreds of years, she has never seen such a thing.
It was Ah Ying who said that in their time and space there was a monkey primate with a ghostly face and a cry that was sometimes frightened and sometimes low. The day and night are often mistaken for mountain spirits and wild monsters, but they are actually just animals. Lu Zhan explained: "I didn't confirm it the first time, but the second time I saw it, I became suspicious. Knowing that hearing the woman's words was enough to be sure that this was what Aring's mouth was talking about. ”
"It's just that we haven't seen mandrills before. There are at least 10 or more of them. Ancestor, do you think this is just a coincidence? Lu Zhan asked.
Xufeng, Chu Yu, and Hemon glanced at each other.
In the end, it was Chu Yu who spoke first, "Ah Zhan, do you mean that there are people who can raise these mandrills?" ”
"That's right." Lu Zhan nodded.
He believes that there are not so many coincidences in this world, and some are deliberate.
"But can that kind of thing really be raised?" The void wind is a little tongue-in-cheek.
The appearance of the mandrill, he still feels like his hair stands upside down when he thinks about it now. What's more, it was lightning fast and fierce.
"It's not us who raise it, but people who know it." Lu Zhan was inspired by Xufeng's words.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by that? I don't understand. Void Wind shook his head.
Chu Yu didn't shake his head.
But instead of answering immediately, he fell silent.
As if thinking about something, Chu Yu said, "Ah Zhan, you mean that this may be raised by that person." And that person is very likely to be like Ah Ying, who does not belong to our time? ”
Lu Zhan nodded, signaling that Chu Yu was right.
Xufeng became more and more foggy, "Your Highness, Ancestor, is that person?" ”
The two of them are like playing dumb riddles, and the void wind really can't keep up with the rhythm.
"The man in the mouth of the Emperor of Nanyue." Chu Yu said angrily.
How could the eldest disciple of her Holy Poison Sect be so stupid?
Xufeng was stunned for a moment, "Beitang is disgusted, and he also fell in love with a person who doesn't belong to this era?" It seems that it is difficult to have a good ending in love in different eras. ”
This time, the void wind reacted quickly enough.
It's just that he said this, and that word. Chu Yu's face suddenly darkened a little. Xufeng also realized his mistake, and originally wanted to change his words immediately.
Who would have thought, but Lu Zhan said: "There is such a possibility, so we should follow this clue and check it carefully." ”
Lu Zhan didn't seem to have any problems.
It seems that the words of the void wind just now did not affect him, but is this really the case?
Apparently not.
"Old Ancestor, Your Highness, I'll go see if He Jun has asked if anything. This kid has always been soft-hearted. "Void Wind knows that he is in trouble, and he just wants to find a way to leave.
Chu Yu naturally knew his thoughts, so he didn't say much.
Instead, he glanced at Hemon, who said clearly: "Your Highness, Xiaoyu, I'll go and see what the others are doing." ”
With that, Hmon also left.
In the courtyard of Nuoda, Lu Zhan and Chu Yu were left in an instant.
At first, Lu Zhan deliberately pretended not to care, and discussed the next matter with Chu Yu.
But in the end, under Chu Yu's silent gaze, Lu Zhan really couldn't pretend anymore, "Old Ancestor, the void wind is a child's words, I won't take it seriously." ”
"You take it seriously." Chu Yu said bluntly.
Lu Zhan's heart sank like the sea from the outside, but Chu Yu knew that he was just a child.
One of the kindest and most sensitive children.
After being seen through, Lu Zhan couldn't deny it, but smiled helplessly, "Ancestor, I am indeed afraid." ”
He was afraid of the lessons of the past.
was also afraid that he would go around with Tang Ying, and eventually get separated.
But......
"Ancestor, didn't you say that there is no point in being afraid." Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "So instead of being afraid, it's better to peel off the cocoon and see what is in this Jialan Mountain." ”
"What's more, Ancestor, I have a hunch that we will definitely gain something this time."
It would be best if he could figure it out for himself.
Chu Yu was also happy when he heard this, "Well, don't worry, give me some time Chu Fuyao I have a way to deal with it." ”
Lu Zhan nodded in convincing.
It was at this time that He Jun and Xufeng both turned back.
Seeing the two of them going and returning, Chu Yu asked, "What's wrong?" Could it be that the woman recruited any useful news? ”
The two nodded in unison.
In the end, He Jun spoke, "Your Highness, Ancestor, the woman said that the place where the mandrill disappeared is that we are looking for the hidden city. And there lived a very peculiar woman in the hidden city. That woman is most likely the person we are looking for. ”
"She knows where that place is?" Lu Zhan then asked.
They had also guessed that the person in Beitang's mouth was hiding in the hidden city.
But there was no one to lead the way, and it was clear that they could not find the entrance.
"Yes." This time, it was the void wind that responded, "And she is also willing to lead the way." ”
"She willing?" Chu Yu was a little unconvinced.
Lu Zhan, but after staring at Xufeng for a moment, he smiled knowingly, "Old Ancestor, I remember that before Xufeng went out, he brought a few bottles of top-notch poison. ”
As soon as these words came out, Chu Yu suddenly understood.
couldn't help poking the other party's head, "You are also willing?" ”
She almost believed it.
Xufeng was poked and cried out in pain, and took a few steps back before saying: "Ancestor, no matter if the black cat and the white cat can catch mice, it is a good cat." ”
Besides, there are so many poisons in the Holy Poison Gate, wouldn't it be a waste if you don't use them?
Of course, Xufeng didn't dare to say it.
And Chu Yu didn't really blame him. You shouldn't be merciful to your enemies.
So......
"I can't think of the dignified prince of Nanyue, and the ancestor of the Holy Poison Gate. He is such a reckless man. Qiushui said with disdain.
Lu Zhan disagreed and did not answer.
Chu Yu raised her beautiful eyes, "Girl, I don't think you should be called Qiushui, you should be called Qiuhou." ”
"Why?" Faced with her endless words, Qiushui was very puzzled.
Chu Yu still smiled and said, "Because you are more like a grasshopper after the autumn, you can't stumble for a few days." ”
"You!" Qiushui, so angry that his face was distorted.
Especially when he thought that he was highly poisoned and had to help them lead the way, he was even more murderous.
It's a pity that before she had time to take action, Hermon saw through it, "I advise you to settle down, otherwise I will screw your head directly." ”
At this moment, Hmon no longer wore an iron mask, and his scarred face was already terrifying.
Coupled with his words, Qiushui was immediately stunned.
Subconsciously touched his neck, retracted his gaze, and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
When Chu Yu heard this, he smiled, "Enrui, you scared people." ”
Her voice is very different from the voice of Fang Cai and Qiushui. Listening to Qiu Shui Deng, he doubted himself and had auditory hallucinations.
After all, in her eyes, Hermon was like a terrifying monster.
"This is the entrance, you only need to hold the jade pendant to enter." After speaking, Qiushui took out the jade pendant.
And when she found that there were so many people, no one took the jade pendant in her hand.
Only to find out that maybe it's not just Hermon who is a monster, this group of people are monsters!
"Do you believe me?" Qiushui asked.
Lu Zhan finally opened his mouth, "As you said, why should we believe you?" ”
With her changing rhetoric?
With her inconsistent attitude?
Or is it based on her dishonest performance when she is poisoned?
"You open the entrance and take us in." Lu Zhan said word by word.
Qiushui seemed to be greatly frightened, and immediately shouted, "This is impossible, I said before that I would only show you the way." I'm not going in! ”
She was never allowed to go in either.
"You don't have a choice." Lu Zhan said again.
Then he turned sideways slightly, and Xufeng stepped forward, "No matter what you want to say, please listen to me first." ”
"What are you going to say? Do you want to poison me again? I tell you, I'm not afraid of death. Qiushui was a little emotional.
In comparison, she was more afraid of life than death.
"I didn't go into detail about my poison before. Now how about I show you? Void Wind ignored her, and smiled nonchalantly.
Then from his sleeve, he took out a bamboo flute.
His flute is not as long as Chu Yu's bone flute, nor is it as crystal clear as the whole body.
It was about the size of an adult man's hand, but as he always said.
It's easy to use.
"You, what do you want to do?" Qiushui, I'm really scared.
