Chapter 88: Lapse
"If you drink like a cow, you don't have to go outside to run errands." Nangong Che did not forget to hit her at any time.
Bai Shuqin was speechless, she was now in a special situation. However, she never liked to explain to others with reasons, nor did she refute him, but silently poured the water from her kettle into her own kettle.
She still has some conscience, she didn't finish pouring his water, and left him a mouthful, which he didn't need anyway.
Bai Shuqin handed the fluttering kettle to Nangong Che, "No, return you!" ”
Nangong Che took the kettle and shook it, only there was some water left at the bottom of the kettle, and he said in disgust: "Say you are a cow, sure enough, you are a cow!" ”
Bai Shuqin has always been good at selling things cheaply, and she greeted her with a smile: "Yes, Nangong Pavilion Master, everything you say is right!" ”
Nangong Che shook his head, "You are as thick-skinned as a city wall. ”
Bai Shuqin silently replied in his heart, your skin is thicker than the city wall! However, she still accepted it with a smile on her face, pretending to be well-behaved.
After a short rest, they continued their climb up the mountain.
The further he went, the more uneasy Bai Shuqin felt in his heart. This feeling of not knowing what awaits her makes her feel like she is on pins and needles. However, what she is most worried about is that she will not be able to rescue Qingluan and Qingfeng smoothly.
"When we get to the top of the mountain, I'll go in first, and you'll wait for my signal in the distance." Bai Shuqin instructed Nangong Che next to him.
Nangong Che understood that Bai Shuqin was afraid of angering the other party and being detrimental to her people, and he had experienced a lot of this kind of thing. But Bai Shuqin could think of this, which made him have to look at it differently.
The top of Qiyun Mountain was indeed not empty, and when it was about two miles away, Bai Shuqin saw a Taoist temple that was not large-scale. The Taoist temple has been around for some years, and after years of rain and wind, the red wall paint on the outside has peeled off a lot, and the color has faded by half.
Bai Shuqin withdrew his hand from Nangong Che's hand and said to him, "Nangong Pavilion Master, you guys just come here, I'll go first to find out the situation." ”
"Well, tread carefully." Nangong Che instructed.
There is a staircase leading to the Taoist temple, which has been unattended for a long time, and no one usually comes up to worship, and the steps are covered with moss. Bai Shuqin clenched the dagger at his waist and walked cautiously towards the Taoist temple.
The door of the temple was closed, and the iron ring on it was rusty.
Bai Shuqin knocked on the door, and the door opened, but there was no one to see. She sold through the threshold and went in.
On each side of the courtyard stood three and a half people-high incense burners, and the ashes of the burning incense candles still remained in them. There are two rooms next to the incense burner on the right, and the doors are also closed.
There is an arched door behind the incense burner on the left, and when you look through the door, there are many rooms inside, and I don't know which way the gods are enshrined.
From the moment she entered the courtyard, Bai Shuqin felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at her around her, and they should be those who were controlled by the Soulless One.
In front of Bai Shuqin is the main hall, only the door here is completely open, and the statues of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother are enshrined inside, and the top is full of spider webs.
The eyes of the two statues were half-closed, as if they were looking at Bai Shuqin. As soon as she moved, the sculpture's eyes seemed to move with her.
Although Bai Shuqin knew that this was just an illusion, it still made her feel furious in her heart.
She came to the main hall, and there were sculptures of the Four Heavenly Kings around the two sculptures, of course, this was just Bai Shuqin's guess, she didn't know these heavenly immortals.
There was still no one in it, Bai Shuqin felt a little strange, could it be that this soulless person still wanted to play peek-a-boo with her?
Just as Bai Shuqin was looking around, the Soulless Man appeared behind her silently, and his voice seemed to come from another world, "What are you looking for?" ”
Bai Shuqin pulled out the dagger on his waist and quickly turned around, only to see the soulless Lan Xin looking at her with a smile.
"What about Qingluan and Qingfeng?" Bai Shuqin questioned her.
Lan Xin didn't reply to her, but said, "Your group of helpers, let them in!" ”
Bai Shuqin was startled, and sure enough, he couldn't escape her eyes. She put away her dagger and prepared to negotiate with her, "The group of people outside, each can block a hundred. Those people you brought are no match for them at all, and now hand over Qingluan and them, and I can spare your life!" ”
Blue Heart laughed mockingly, "You're too confident!" ”
Bai Shuqin felt that her face was so underwhelmed for the first time, she calmed down, this trick didn't work, she just changed it. "Don't you just want me to go with you to southern Xinjiang? You let them go, I'll go back with you! ”
The Netherworld Saintess heard Bai Shuqin's words beside the Spirit Emperor Patriarch and reminded, "This girl is scheming, and her words cannot be trusted. ”
"If you want to save those two people, do as I say!" Lan Xin's hollow eyes stared at Bai Shu Qin Dao.
Lan Xin didn't take the bait, and Bai Shuqin had no other way for the time being, so he could only obey her and whistle unwillingly.
The loud whistle was especially loud on the top of the empty mountain, and when Nangong Che heard the sound, he immediately got up from the tree he was leaning against and gestured to the others.
Bai Shuqin looked at the door, and within a few minutes, Nangong Che appeared in the courtyard of the Taoist temple with everyone.
Nangong Che saw Bai Shuqin in the main hall, and there was a woman in black clothes and black robes standing opposite, and he remembered that the ghost Wang Yang said was probably her. He walked into the main hall quickly and asked Bai Shuqin, "Who is this?" ”
"The man I told you!" Bai Shuqin looked at Lan Xin after replying, "They are already here, what else do you want?" ”
Lan Xin looked at the group of people in front of him with satisfaction, stretched out his hand and slapped twice in the air, and in an instant, hundreds of people came out from all directions like ghosts and surrounded them.
Only then did Bai Shuqin know how ridiculous what she said just now, the speed of this group of people was much faster than that of the Imperial Forest Army, and they were not the opponents of the other party at all.
Rao is experienced Nangong Che, who was also shocked. All the Kingsguards drew their swords at their waists and took a defensive stance.
"What the hell do you want to do?" Bai Shuqin asked Lan Xin loudly.
Lan Xin circled around her, cold fingers slid across her cheeks, and the smile on her face was extremely eerie, "Of course it's to take you back and complete the sacrifice!" ”
The Netherworld Saintess still remembered how Bai Shuqin had escaped last time, if it weren't for the patriarch's procrastination, the matter would have been completed long ago. She urged, "Bring her back quickly, lest anything go wrong." ”
The patriarch looked determined to win. Bai Shuqin noticed that a faint purple light began to glow under Lan Xin's eyes, and she quickly blocked the dagger in front of her eyes and took two steps back.
"The same trick didn't work for me!" Bai Shuqin's eyes were filled with murderous aura.
Nangong Che went over to protect Bai Shuqin behind him, looked at Lan Xin in front of him, and sneered: "Although I don't know where you come from, if you want to take her away, it depends on whether you have the ability." ”
The Netherworld Saintess didn't put Nangong Che in her eyes at all, "Patriarch, don't talk nonsense with these people. ”
The Spirit Emperor Patriarch didn't move, his eyes focused on a string of small-leaf rosewood Buddha beads on Nangong Che's wrist, each bead was densely engraved with scriptures.
"It's that monk again!" The Nether Saintess gritted her teeth and said, every time he ruined their good deeds.
Lan Xin snorted coldly, ignoring Nangong Che in front of him, and said to Bai Shuqin: "Don't forget that the lives of those two people are in my hands!" You come with me, and I'll spare them all. ”
Bai Shuqin thought deeply, if they really fought, they would not be her opponents at all. However, Bai Shuqin dared to believe her words easily.
"You take me to meet Qingluan and them first!" Bai Shuqin wanted to make sure that the two of them were safe first.
Lan Xin raised his hand and slapped it twice, and Qingluan and Qingfeng were escorted out of the room next to the incense burner outside by four people. Although their faces were not very good, they were still sane.
Qingluan's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Bai Shuqin hiding behind Nangong Che, he shouted: "Third Imperial Princess, you go quickly, leave us alone!" ”
Bai Shuqin heard Qingluan's voice, came out from behind Nangong Che, and was relieved to see that the two of them were fine. She came to save them, how could she ignore them.
"I'll go with you, you let them go first!" Bai Shuqin said to Lan Xin.
Nangong Che grabbed Bai Shuqin's arm, and his tone was a little annoyed, "You can't go with her!" ”
Bai Shuqin took Nangong Che's hand away, and said to him with a look, "This is originally my business, and it has nothing to do with you." You take them away first..."
Lan Xin interrupted Bai Shuqin and sneered, "Are you thinking too beautifully?" None of them will want to leave here for three days! ”
Bai Shuqin frowned, it seemed that the soulless people controlled so many people in order to control them here.
She glanced around, and although there were quite a few people around them, there were actually only one hundred and twenty people. Most of them are dressed in frugal clothes, and they should be local villagers.
Obviously, there were still some people who weren't here, and Bai Shuqin guessed that they were going to trap Han Yu. After all, Han Yu had helped her last time, and the Soulless Man must have been wary of him.
The disparity in strength was too great, Bai Shuqin gave up resistance and asked, "How do you make me believe in you?" What if I leave with you and you don't let them go after three days? ”
"The Gu poison on their bodies will be invalid in three days." The Soulless One approached Bai Shuqin, took the dagger in her hand, played with it in her hand, and said as if unintentionally: "We, the Spirit Emperor Family, never speak lies. What's more, do you have any other choice now? ”
Bai Shuqin really had no other choice, she glanced at Nangong Che, "Nangong Pavilion Master, the rest of the matter will trouble you." I'll go with her. ”
Nangong Che's face was cold, "Whatever you want!" ”
At this moment, Bai Shuqin saw that the soulless wanted to use illusions on her again, so he quickly turned his head away, "I can go with you, but if you dare to control me, none of us can think about it." ”
The Soulless were afraid that she would unravel the illusion like she had done last time, and if she were to die, they would have lost all their efforts. She snorted coldly, "I promise you, let's go!" ”
The Soulless Man turned around and waved his hand to signal Bai Shuqin to follow. When Bai Shuqin passed by Nangong Che, he suddenly grabbed his left wrist, brushed the Buddha beads on his wrist, winked at him, and got up to follow the soulless one.
Nangong Che raised his left hand, looked at the Buddha beads in his hand, and thought about what Bai Shuqin meant just now. He has been wearing this bead since he can remember, and its origin is unknown.
The group of people didn't wait for Nangong Che to understand, so they pushed him to the courtyard of the Taoist temple, and surrounded him, Qingluan and the group of royal forest soldiers in the middle of the courtyard.
"Pavilion Master, what should I do next?" The Imperial Forest Army beside Nangong Che asked him in a low voice.
There were a large number of people surrounding them, Nangong Che had also seen their speed just now, although it was not impossible to escape, casualties were inevitable. Moreover, these people are actually defenseless people, and he does not want to kill them.
"Let's wait and see what happens!" Nangong Che replied.
Bai Shuqin followed behind the Soulless One, looking at his body from an outsider's point of view, it felt really weird. She comforted herself in her heart as if she were her twin sister.
It's hard to go up the mountain, and it's even harder to go down. Looking at the steep hillside, Bai Shuqin's legs were a little weak.
