Chapter 250: Into the Valley
"Qingci, when is this time coming, can you still do it!" An Ruyue took his hand and stomped her feet in a hurry.
"I think...... It's not impossible. Wan Qian Scarlet thought about it and said with some uncertainty.
"What's the way?" An Ruyue and Hua Chengcheng hurriedly asked.
Wan Qian pursed her lips in scarlet clothes, but her eyes were aimed at Cang Wunian.
Several people followed her gaze, and then they couldn't help but realize that from the appearance of Ying Ban Makeup until this moment, he didn't say a word, and his deep eyes hidden under the mask were a little shocked and angry at this time.
"Brother Wunian, what's wrong with you?" noticing that something was wrong with him, Hua Chengcheng walked up to him and asked with concern.
Being called by her like this, Cang Wunian came to his senses and asked softly, "Hmm, what's wrong?"
"I'm asking you what's wrong, why are you asking me in turn? Could it be that you didn't hear what we said?" said Hua Chengcheng a little stunned.
"I'm sorry, but I ...... Distracted. Cang Wunian hooked the corners of his mouth in embarrassment.
"No, my lord, your most loyal subordinate, I am about to be caught by that old poison to refine poison, and your old man is actually distracted at such a time?" Qing Ci suddenly wailed.
"Haven't you been arrested for refining poison?" Cang Wunian said lightly.
"You ......" Qing Ci was stopped, and a mouthful of old blood could only be swallowed in the stomach.
"Pavilion Master...... That one...... It's really possible for Ying Ban Makeup to catch Qing and resign from refining poison, you can think of a way. An Ruyue whispered to persuade.
Cang Wunian glanced at everyone blankly, "I, what can I do?"
"Do you remember the agreement you made with your subordinates before you went to sea?" asked Wan Qiyi.
Cang Wunian nodded, "Naturally, I remember, you want to see my face, and you want to paint my face on that painting that doesn't depict a man's facial features." But...... Does this have anything to do with stopping Ying Ban Makeup from arresting Qing Ci to refine poison?"
Wan Qian lowered his eyes slightly, and explained in a low voice: "Actually, that painting belongs to my master, and I accidentally saw it in his room when I was very young. There was a man and a woman on it, but the woman was only on her back......"
Before Wan Qi finished his words, Qing Ci interjected and interrupted: "You don't want to say that when you accidentally discovered that painting, your old poison master was staring at the portrait in a daze, right?"
"How do you know?" asked Wan Qian in surprise, blinking.
Qing Ci shivered like a cold war, "Hey, that old poison really has a habit of breaking sleeves?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Maybe the men and women in the portrait are not necessarily very important to the master!" Wan Qian said indignantly.
"The woman only has a back, and the man doesn't draw his facial features, and if your master's attention is not on the man when he looks at that painting, I will definitely not believe it. If it's a close relative or close friend, there's no reason not to draw facial features, so I can only suspect that he has a broken sleeve. Qing Ci shook his head and analyzed.
Wan Qian scarlet pursed her lips, and was thinking about how to refute it, but Ji Wuxin said lightly: "Why don't you think Ying Ban Makeup is a woman?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. For so long, they only knew that Ying Ban Makeup was the poison king of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, the master of Wan Qi's scarlet clothes, and a person with a strange and capricious personality. Now that I see him with my own eyes, I can't see his body and appearance clearly, and his voice sounds very weird, so everyone still instinctively thinks that he is a man.
But if it weren't for what they wanted, what if Ying Ban Makeup was a woman?
"Impossible...... I never guessed that Master was a woman, and judging by his style of acting, he didn't look like a woman......" After a long time, Wan Qian shook his head and said to himself.
"Regardless of whether your master is a man or a woman, are you sure that if you complete the appearance of the man in that painting, your master will not have the idea of resigning?" asked Hua Chengcheng.
"I'm 80% sure. Wan Qi Scarlet has a rare confidence in dealing with his master.
"I really didn't expect that the conditions you brought us here this time turned out to be for your master, and he is really a filial apprentice. Qingci sighed.
Wan Qian Scarlet Yi subconsciously glanced at Cang Wunian when she heard this, but she didn't speak. Only she knew in her heart that she would agree to take them to Yuanqiao Mountain, on the one hand, she was out of fear of Cang Wunian, she had no doubt that if she didn't agree at that time, Cang Wunian would definitely use other means for her, and this speculation was confirmed after seeing Ji Wuxin.
Cang Wunian invited Ji Zi'an and Ji Wuxin to go all the way, to put it bluntly, just to deal with her. She has no intention of winning, not to mention that there is one more Ji Zi'an.
On the other hand, she didn't want to admit it at the beginning, but now she can't admit it anymore - she has a mind about Cang Wunian that shouldn't be moved. As she became more and more curious about his true appearance, she had gradually sunk her heart into it. And after seeing his true face, she could no longer deny her feelings for Cang Wunian.
But she couldn't fathom Cang Wunian's strength, and the closer she got to him, the more she felt that there was an inexplicable coercion around her, so that she didn't dare to resist him in the slightest, let alone confess her covetousness for him.
Wan Qian Scarlet never thought that one day she would be like an ordinary woman, accommodating her sweetheart in every way, and sadly, there is no place for her in the other party's heart.
There is one last reason, that is, she has indeed been away from Linjie Island for too many years, and a few years ago, Ying Ban Makeup also asked her to send her a letter, asking her if she had found Ruyi Langjun, and hinted that if she couldn't find a suitable candidate, she would ask her to return to Linjie Island honestly and accept a family affair arranged by him with peace of mind.
She knows that Ying Ban Makeup is partial to her, but no matter how much she prefers it, there is a bottom line. Her former resistance has been a refutation of the shadow and half makeup, and she has a lot of face. If you don't find a suitable opportunity to go back to Linjie Island, I'm afraid that Ying Ban Makeup will have to go to the east bank of the Luo River to get people in person.
In the end, she still had some selfish intentions and brought Cang Wunian here, maybe under the coercion and temptation of her master, Cang Wunian would marry her. At that time, no matter how much he cares about painting Allure in his heart, with the other party's temperament, I am afraid that he will leave him. What's more, judging from the relationship in the past six months, Cang Wunian's painting of Allure does not seem to be the love of men and women.
"Tut-tut...... What good things have come to mind??" Qing Ci's playful voice pulled Wan Qi's thoughts back.
Wan Qi was a scarlet spirit, as if his mind had been seen through, and hurriedly said: "Oh, I was thinking, I'll take you into the valley now." However, after entering the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, you have to be careful everywhere, as eighty percent of the things in the valley are highly poisonous. As for Master's side, I will go and talk to him first, hoping that he will be able to settle for the past. ”
After saying this, I saw Wan Qian walking towards the stone forest and stopping in front of the stone pillar engraved with the three big characters of "Ten Thousand Poison Valley".
Then she flew up on tiptoe, and with her hands outstretched, barbed gloves that looked like metal appeared on her hands.
I saw her gloved hands on the word "10,000", and then gently traced the three bright red characters by hand according to the stroke lines of the word.
The last stroke fell, but I saw that the three words that were originally red and bright were slowly surging, emitting bursts of dazzling light.
The light shone around, and everyone only felt that all the surrounding scenery began to distort and float, and the staggered stone pillars gradually became ethereal and blurred.
When the dazzling light disappeared with the stone forest, what appeared in front of everyone was a flat path like a pastoral path.
"It turns out that this stone forest is a trick, but it's quite clever. Cang Wunian sighed in a low voice.
"Everyone, please come with me. Wan Qi's scarlet figure fell to the ground and greeted a few people softly.
The moment everyone stepped on the pastoral path, the scenery behind them was distorted again, and after a while, it turned into a stone forest.
Both sides of the trail are covered with verdant grass, and some unknown flowers are dotted between the grasses.
After walking for a stick of incense, everyone only felt that the things in front of them were shaking, and the country path at the bottom of their feet turned into a relatively wide forest path, while the lush grass on both sides of the road turned into a large area of fiery red woods.
"It's so beautiful......" Looking at the surrounding scenery, Hua Allure couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"It's really beautiful, I can't imagine that there is such a beautiful scenery in this Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. An Ruyue also said with emotion.
"Haven't you two heard that the more beautiful something is, the more poisonous it is?" Qing Ci tapped at the right time.
Wan Qian Scarlet Yi smiled and said, "Elder Qingci's words are not bad, but this area is indeed just an ordinary maple forest, and it is the only place in the entire Ten Thousand Poison Valley that does not have any poison at all. ”
"Yo, I can't see that your old poison master has left a piece of pure land for his own territory!" Qing Ci joked.
The group walked for a while, and after passing through the fiery maple forest, they came into view a trickling stream, the water of which was very clear.
Looking along the trail of the stream, this stream is actually surrounded by a bamboo forest that looks very quiet and elegant, and there are several small bamboo houses in the bamboo forest from a distance.
"It's hard for me to imagine that this is really the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, it's as beautiful as a paradise!"
"Eh, do you smell a faint smell of wine?" An Ruyue sniffed and asked in some surprise.
