Chapter 124: Mercury (2)
"Nope."
"Nope."
Gong Yixing and Yun Shuo spoke at the same time, looked at each other again, and then the two of them tilted their heads to the side in embarrassment. It can be seen that they are definitely on the united front for Yun Qing to go to "Liuyuan" in person, and their tone is extremely strong, and there is no room for negotiation at all. Yun Qing sighed, she knew that this would definitely be the result!
"Brother, Yunshuo, I'm not impulsive."
Yun Qing clasped his hands together, and then used his eyes to go back and forth between the two of them.
"Figure, my sister, your identity is different now, and you are still pregnant, how can you save him?"
The official ceremony tried to keep his voice as low as possible, but preached in a slightly instructive tone. No matter how rational Yun Qing behaves now, in the eyes of the two of them, her request is the most irrational proof. Like a normal lovelorn person, he or she should show his or her pain with a dark face and a walking corpse-like body, and perhaps be depressed for a while, plus pack up and run away; But if this person has no dark face, no walking corpse body, and no depression and packing up and running away after falling out of love, in the eyes of outsiders, this is an abnormality. And Yun Qing is in the latter kind of situation!
She gently put her hand on Gongyixing's hand, and then smiled and said:
"Brother, calm down first and listen to me."
"Say nothing and won't let you go!"
Gongyi Xing decisively intercepted Yun Qing's words, and Yun Shuo glanced at Gongyi Xing opposite with a hint of appreciation at this time. That's right, he is now thinking the same as Gongyixing. No matter what Yun Qing says, they will definitely stick to the bottom line and not let her fall.
"Hehe, don't worry, if the next words are not enough to convince you to let me go in person, then I will willingly wait here for you to rescue!"
Yun Qing looked at them again and said categorically.
"Okay, you say!"
Yun Shuo suddenly spoke, which surprised Gongyi Xing. Anyway, what she says, I believe that these two people will not change their minds, so it is better to listen to what strange things she will say. Anyway, it's still early before the rescue time, so let's listen to the story as a pre-war pastime!
"First of all, I guess Yun Shuo is about to touch the entrance of the mechanism." Yun Qing looked at Yun Shuo and made a summary.
"So, this time, as long as we follow Yunshuo's previous route and explore down, it will not be difficult to find the entrance to the water prison mechanism." Yun Qing analyzed.
"Statement, it's us, without you!"
Gong Yixing tapped Yun Qing's head with the jade flute and reminded her that she had used inappropriate words. His sister is used to being cunning, how can she do it if she doesn't guard against it!
"Yes, yes, you're right!" Yun Qing suddenly admired this brother a little, such a soldier is a soldier, and there is only one brother in the world. "Then, let's talk about the second important point, according to Yun Shuo's description, there may be a chemical hidden under the water, and I am worried that if you touch the mechanism, then that substance will turn back and activate with the mechanism, and at that time, your life may be in danger!"
"Chemicals? Be...... What the? β
Gong Yixing grasped the word and raised doubts. Although his father is a master and he has read a lot of books, he has never heard of the word "chemical substance", is there still something in this world that he doesn't know?
"Well, the simple explanation is a mixture of nature, the only book of geography that I occasionally see in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion of the Imperial Palace in the Night Corridor. So, to put it bluntly, that kind of thing is born naturally, but when mixed with a substance in nature, it is very likely to evolve into a very powerful weapon of destruction. Yun Shuo just stayed in the water, and his body already felt uncomfortable. What if you accidentally touch the wrong mechanism? β
Yun Qing's statement made a cold air suddenly appear behind Yun Shuo, and at the same time gave Gongyi Xing a wake-up call.
"PhewβI'm only going there to find out how destructive this thing is, and then make a detailed rescue plan for you. So, you two, do you agree with me going? β
Yun Qing looked at the two of them, and then looked at their facial expressions, it was really a big struggle!
Night Gallery.
In Jianzhang Palace, several palace people were waiting for the Empress Dowager to take a nap. Everything is as usual, there seems to be nothing new, two or three palace maids in the outer courtyard are pruning flowers and branches, the eunuchs are hurrying out to make dinner for their noble queen mother, the lawn in the palace is as bright as ever, and the red pillars show its luxury and grandeur! Gongxi Zijun stood on the top of Jianzhang Palace like this and watched all this carefully, his light purple eyes followed the palace maid who was holding a plate of lychees from a distance.
The corners of her lips hooked up a touch of arc, very good, it's her!
I don't know when there was a plain white petal in my hand, and I let go of it casually, and the petal was like a dart injected with internal force through the resistance of the air and directly entered the body of the palace maid. Then, as if she didn't feel it, the palace maid walked into the Jianzhang Palace, gently put the lychee aside, and then, her hand drooped down woodenly.
"Your Majesty is fake, Niangniang is also fake, everything is fake......"
She kept repeating the phrase as if she was stunned. The other palace people looked at this palace maid like ghosts, and they didn't know what to do.
"Your Majesty is fake, Niangniang is also fake, everything is fake......"
She repeated the same sentence countless times, until the old woman on the soft couch suddenly opened her eyes, eager to kill the palace maid who had been clamoring for a long time, and the palace maid stood still again as if she had suddenly received some kind of signal. Then, a jaw-dropping scene happened.
"Your Majesty is fake, Niangniang is also fake, everything is fake......"
Once again, she received the signal, her eyes hollow, her lips closed together. The old woman who had just gotten up glanced at the palace man behind her, and was just about to call someone to call a medical officer, but not long after the movement of her hand was made, the palace maid turned into ashes in front of their eyes, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Queen Mother, there is ...... There are youkai! β
Several palace people trembled, watching a big living person turn into ashes, such a visual impact is not small! I think I'll be living in this shadow for months. And the queen mother herself was not much surprised, in the palace for so many years, she had never seen any tricks, but the words that the little palace maid had been saying before her death aroused her vigilance.
"Whatever you panic, go down to the mourning family!"
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone."
The Queen Mother got up and coughed slightly. Originally, her health hasn't been very good recently, but she just staged another play, could it be that the girl had an accident. Feng Mu looked at the courtyard outside the hall thoughtfully, and Gongxi Zijun on the roof had already left and went to the water prison to wait for his other guest!
"Come on, change the clothes of the mourning family, and go to Zhaohua Palace!"
The bait here has been dropped, I believe that the queen mother will definitely find the clue along the vine, and then, with the temper of the old woman, I think I can't bear it for too long to expose them! On the way back, Gongxi Zijun has been thinking about how to serve the night corridor without much effort. It's a pity that he thought about one thing wrong, sometimes if a woman is smarter, maybe she will be more sensitive than a man.
It's like now, Yun Qing and the others have gone deep into the "abyss" and are ready to start testing the waters.
It's daytime now, and Yun Qing and a few people have stepped on the tip of the knife when they venture in, in case one of them accidentally attracts the guards of the Dian Kingdom, it is not for fun. Fortunately, I sent a letter to Su Lin in advance, and asked him to help guide away the guards here, and they must not be able to enter the door now!
Yun Qing stood on the broken bridge, her eyes kept following the depth of the lake and kept looking inside, she was slandered in her heart, she really couldn't see the bottom, it seemed that she could only try step by step.
"Yunshuo, Ji Ye, listen, when you go into the water later, you must remember to tie the rope, on the rope I ordered someone to tie the bell, when you collect warm water or encounter danger, immediately shake the rope, we will immediately come up."
Going down to the river in person knows the depths, and now the safest way is only this, she must see what is lingering under the water today.
"Yes, my subordinates obey!"
Yun Shuo and the others took the bamboo tubes prepared in advance, tied the ropes, and swam in one direction one by one. Gongyi walked over, stood with Yun Qing, and looked at the waterfall hanging in Qianchuan, if they ignored what they were doing now and didn't remember, this place was really a beautiful scenery.
Whoop - Whoop - Whoop
Yun Qing breathed at the waterfall, as if she wanted to spit out this momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, such a picture reminded her of Sun Wukong's hometown Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave in the TV series "Journey to the West", at that time she thought that nature is really magical, as long as anything passes through her hands, it will become so beautiful.
"Brother, you said such a beautiful place, why did the Dian Emperor regard it as a forbidden place?"
"Yes, such a beautiful place, no one can figure it out!"
The brother and sister just stood at the head of the bridge, motionless. The water shadow went all the way down, until it penetrated into the eyes of Gongxi Zijun and Jimo Xian, and Gongxi Zijun was now a little unsure of what this woman wanted. But Ji Moxian was very happy, fortunately Qing'er was clever, otherwise they might have been suffocated to death by the molten iron on the periphery!
"Interesting, I want to see how you get through this!"
This time, the water mirror was not removed, but continued to maintain the state just now. Soon, Ji Ye and Yun Shuo in the mirror had already filled the bamboo tube with water and went upstream. Gongxi Zijun reacted at this time, it turned out that they went into the water just to get molten iron? This woman is really cunning and hateful.
Suzu β
Soon, the bells on the shore rang one after another. Yun Shuo was the first to swim out of the water, and then they also surfaced in the night. After they all went ashore, they immediately took off the bamboo tube on their waists and handed it to Yun Qing, who took a bamboo tube with his hand and opened the lid to take a look...... His face changed suddenly.
"Damn, it's mercury!"
"Master...... Are you alright? β
It was the first time they had seen the queen so angry, and what was the mercury she was talking about, was it the water they had brought back?
"See for yourselves!"
They poured the water they had retrieved onto the wooden planks of the broken bridge, and as a result, their eyes were straight.
"Silver water!"
Ji Ye rubbed his eyes fiercely, he couldn't believe it, obviously they felt no different from the lake when they were underwater, who would have thought that it would be like this.
"Stay far away and beware of poisoning."
Yun Qing reminded sharply that mercury emits toxic gases when the temperature is high, and now is the time when the sun is the most poisonous, if it is really poisoned, it is not easy for them to rescue.
"Hurry up and take off all your bamboo tubes."
After Gong Yixing reacted, he immediately asked them to take off the bamboo tube, he didn't know what mercury was, but fortunately he listened to Qing'er's words today and brought her, otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died.
"What now?"
