Chapter 56: The Danger Under the Cliff

In a moment, there was a strong tremor from the ground, and many houses collapsed, and they quickly left the place, and they could see from afar, the whole mountain was short, and may this secret of rebirth remain in the realm forever.

By the time they reached the gates, it was already an hour later, and it was getting late, and night was falling, and the windows and doors of every house were closed.

In front of the medical hall, Jun Ruxi sat on the stone steps with a dissatisfied face, and questioned as soon as he saw her.

"Where?"

Wuxin told everything he saw and heard today, if he was an ordinary person, he would definitely laugh at it as a story, but Jun Ruxi knew that Wuxin was not making up a story to listen to him, and the bloody wounds on her body told him that everything was true.

"The wounds on your body need to be treated, go in first."

Jun Ruxi got up and took her hand, and led her all the way back to her room, and only after Wuxin had taken care of the wound and changed into clean clothes did he continue the topic just now.

"You're saying someone is using the essence of a living person to resurrect a demon."

nodded unintentionally, and it is very likely that they are using corpses to refine puppets, which is mentioned in "Witchcraft", and the state of those corpses is very similar to what they described, but there is no detailed description of the production method in "Witchcraft", let alone the method of cracking, which is puzzling.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that everything was starting to go wrong, and she was deviating more and more from her intention to start, if these puppets were successfully refined, then the Thousand Illusion Kingdom would definitely not be spared, and no one would be able to escape a catastrophe.

Jun Ruxi thought as she thought, he looked out the window at the falling leaves, his face was heavy, if this matter is still related to the queen, then the queen's ambition is definitely not only Qian'an.

In addition to the Heavenly Immortal Kingdom, although there is constant friction between the four kingdoms of Qian'an, Lan Qi, Fengyu, and Thousand Illusions, they have always followed the will left by their ancestors, and there has never been a large-scale war.

Both of them had their own concerns and did not talk any further.

This night, she fell asleep unintentionally, on the bank of a river full of flowers on the other side, there was no one there, she lay quietly among the flowers, never opened her eyes.

The rooster crows, and the sun rises.

Wuxin changed the medicine with the help of Feiyan, and while eating, the medicine boy handed her a letter left by Jun Ruxi.

Bad news came from Beijing, the emperor Junlie was sick in bed, the queen hung the curtain to listen to the government, and Jun Ruxi learned that he rushed back to the capital overnight.

Baili Silei repeatedly proposed in the court that the harem could not be regent, but many officials turned against the queen, and he was unable to do it, and only hoped that Jun Ruxi would return as soon as possible.

It was rainy, and the rain for several days made the way back to Beijing very difficult, and Bailisilei stood under the eaves, his hands behind his back, his eyes as heavy as the thick dark clouds.

He wants to defend this country, and he wants to use this place as the most solid backing for Wuxin, even if it is risking his life.

There was the sound of clattering footsteps, and the butler bent over, holding a roll of bamboo in both hands, and finally he stopped behind Palisley.

"Xiangye, the secret guard has sent a letter."

Baili Silei's eyelashes trembled, he turned around and quickly took over the bamboo tube, pulled the lid on the bamboo tube, and took out a note, he read it from top to bottom, and gradually delighted.

"Great, they're back."

The wind was angry and wanted to pull out the wood, the rain was about to lift the house, the storm blew the carriage upside down, and Feiyan pumped the horse's hips, and then barely walked a distance.

"Feiyan, find a sheltered place for the horses to rest, we won't be able to walk until the horses are tired."

Feiyan looked around, there was a stone cliff in front of her, and a piece of the stone cliff was recessed like an eaves, just enough for them to take shelter from the wind and rain for a while, and she whipped her horse down the cliff.

As soon as the horses reached the bottom of the cliff, they both collapsed to the ground, and Feiyan took a hat and found horse grass around to feed the horses, and touched the horse's head comfortingly.

"I don't know when I'll be able to get to the capital."

Wuxin held the small stone in his hand, and since he came out of the well that day, the little stone seemed to be dead, and it had never been touched again.

"Master, the secret guard who went to the front to explore the road has returned, and he said that as long as he crosses this mountain, there will be no such strong wind ahead."

Holding a bundle of soggy horse grass in her hand, Feiyan took a gourd from her waist and threw it at her.

Unintentionally took it neatly, opened it and smelled it before realizing that it was wine.

"We don't have dry wood to make a fire, let's drink this to warm up first."

Feiyan continued to feed the horses, with concern in her eyes.

Unintentionally took a sip, and soon her whole body warmed up, she thanked Feiyan, and the two quietly waited for the wind and rain to become smaller.

There was a thunderclap, and a group of men wearing hats, black suits, and red and brown horses gradually emerged from the horizon, escorting a carriage with large boxes behind them, extremely cautious.

"Pilot!"

The leader grabbed the reins and reached out to stop the group driving behind, and they noticed the two men under the cliff, and Wuxin was also observing them at this time.

There are no murderous people in the team, just looking at the clothes like ordinary people in the dart game, but the overall momentum is very tough, and these people are called "bodyguards" in the rivers and lakes.

The leading man, dressed in a waistcoat with iron plates and a large knife at his waist, looked at them and rode towards them.

They were all on the lookout for each other, hoping that the storm would soon stop.

The rain was dripping down from the cliff face, striking a cup-sized blister on the water beach on the ground.

As the sound of the horse's hooves got closer and closer, Feiyan tensed her nerves and slowly stroked the whip on her upper waist.

The dart head held his face high, the wind blew his face deformed, coupled with the thick beard, the whole person was fierce and vicious, and people couldn't help but retreat.

They stopped on the other side of the cliff, which was not wide, and the boxes they had brought in stood for most of the area, and beyond that was their territory, and some of them would rather stand outside in the rain than come and cross paths with them.

No one spoke, except for the sound of horses grazing, quiet enough to hear each other's breathing.

Just as the atmosphere became more and more eerie, a hidden weapon flew through countless raindrops and slammed into the leader, and he drew his broadsword to block the hidden weapon, and the iron weapon made a loud chirp when it touched it.

"There are assassins!"

For a moment, the opposite side collectively pulled out the knife and aimed it at the two of them.

Before he could explain, another hidden weapon flew in and directly killed one of the bodyguards, as if lighting a match, and those bodyguards rushed over at once.

Just as the people on both sides were about to fight you to the death, the dart head spoke.

"Stop!"

The head of the dart held a big knife in his hand, the knife flashed, and the golden pictures and texts on it reflected the scene in the woods, a black-clothed masked man was hiding in it, he waved the big knife, and the strong internal force dragged the knife body, like a sharp arrow, back and forth, there was not a drop of blood on the knife surface, but there was a sound of falling to the ground in the forest.
