Chapter Seventy-Four: Treasures Hidden in the Mountains
Hearing this, Guo Xu made it clear in his heart, "Zhen Zhen, it's Su Junyan who wants to enter the mountain, right?" ”
Li Zhenzhen did not deny it, but said, "He is my husband, if he wants to enter the mountain, I will also enter the mountain." So, what's the difference? ”
"Zhen Zhen, do you know that the mountain is full of miasma and poisonous mist, poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, basically there is a life to go in and not to come out?"
"Of course, I know that." Li Zhenzhen smiled lightly, "Otherwise, how could I come to ask Master Guo?" ”
"Zhenzhen, aren't you afraid of death?"
"Of course I'm afraid of death." Li Zhenzhen said in a low voice, "But as long as you are with Brother Junyan, you are not afraid of anything." ”
"Zhen Zhen, how is Su Junyan treating you?"
Although he probably knew the answer, he always wanted to listen to Li Zhenzhen to say a word in person to feel at ease.
Li Zhenzhen smiled, "Since I was a child, I grew up with him. He treated me very well. ”
Guo Xu's heart settled at that moment, "If he treats you well, I will be relieved." ”
He paused, and then said, "It's not impossible to enter that Yunluo Mountain, but you need to wait for the opportunity. ”
"When?"
"The night of the full moon."
It turns out that this Yunluo Mountain is very weird, and it is usually full of layers of miasma, only on the night of the full moon for a period of time, the miasma is still there, but it is not so toxic, and with a little prevention, it will not be life-threatening.
Li Zhenzhen had some doubts in her heart, "Master Guo, how did you know about this opportunity?" ”
Guo Xu smiled helplessly, "Zhen Zhen, if you want to say that this opportunity was discovered by your mother at the beginning. ”
"My mother?"
Li Zhenzhen only felt surprised, she never thought that this Yunluo Mountain could have something to do with her mother. However, her mother used to be the princess of the Blue Kingdom, and this Yunluo Mountain is at the junction of the Blue Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom, and it is not particularly surprising that she has been here.
Guo Xu said slowly, "Back then, your mother's father was seriously poisoned, and he had to use a medicine called Deathless Son on Yunluo Mountain to treat it. That desperate son was born in Yunluo Mountain, and it was originally a highly poisonous thing. However, everything in the world is mutually reinforcing, and sometimes it is a good way to fight poison with poison. So, even though it's just a legend, your mother took us to the foot of Yunluo Mountain without hesitation. ”
"Although your mother is good at poisoning and detoxifying, there is no way to take that miasma poisonous mist after all, so we have never been able to do it at the beginning, and we have lost a lot of people."
Guo Xu remembered clearly, Lan Yuluo was so anxious at that time that there were a lot of bubbles on the corners of his mouth, after all, the poison of the Emperor of the Blue Kingdom could not wait.
That night, the sky was covered with a bright moon, and it was about to be full. Lan Yuluo sat on the roof, thinking about his thoughts.
Guo Xu also went up to the roof, sat next to Lan Yuluo, and handed her a jar of wine.
Seeing the jar of wine, Lan Yuluo laughed, "Guo Xu, you are so good, how do you know that I need a jar of wine to relieve my sorrows now?" ”
Guo Xu smiled slightly and said, "Princess, I'm just a coincidence." ”
How could it be a coincidence, he knew her too well. It's just that he won't tell her this. There are some inappropriate things that should be hidden for the rest of your life.
Lan Yuluo opened the jar of wine and drank it, only to feel that it was fragrant and cold, but it was also a good wine.
"Guo Xu, this wine is really strong, but I like it." With that, she handed him the wine and smiled, "You can taste it too." ”
Guo Xu took the jar of wine, thinking that her luscious lips had touched the mouth of the jar, and his heart suddenly beat fast.
They drank like this, and they didn't say anything. It wasn't until later that Lan Yuluo opened his mouth, "Guo Xu, my father's poison can't wait, so tomorrow I will enter Yunluo Mountain no matter what." ”
Guo Xu nodded and said in a low voice, "Princess, my subordinates will accompany you." ”
Lan Yuluo took another sip of wine and said with a smile, "Guo Xu, it's good to have you by your side." ”
This sentence made his heart jump for a long time. Because, she has a more or less special place in her heart.
That night, Lan Yuluo was drunk. Guo Xu gently carried her off the roof and sent her back to the room. Because of the wine, her cheeks and lips were a little redder than Su Ri, which made people's hearts ripple. And because he was drinking, he did what he had always wanted to do - kiss her.
It was just a light peck, but her lips were as sweet as he imagined, making him give birth to infinitely beautiful reverie.
Of course, it just stops at reverie.
On the second day, the sky was full of moon. The silver-white moonlight shrouded the entire Yunluo Mountain, looking hazy and quiet. At that time, the mountain no longer looked like a poisonous mountain, but was extremely beautiful.
They wore a veil carefully handled by Lan Yuluo to prevent miasma and poisonous mist, and the sleeves, trouser legs, and boots on their bodies were tightly tied to prevent snakes and insects. This time, they went into the mountain with the mentality of giving it a try. If you're lucky, you'll find the killer. If you're not lucky, you'll die here.
Along the way, Lan Yuluo finally realized the difference today. The miasma poisonous mist does not seem to be as toxic as Su Ri.
Later, she thought about it for a while, and it was probably related to the night of the full moon. However, time is urgent, and there is no way to know for sure.
Without the threat of miasma and poisonous mist, the group walked much faster. However, everyone was still lost in the end, but Guo Xu and Lan Yuluo escaped with their desperate sons.
Therefore, Guo Xu is still worried, after all, the danger of Yunluo Mountain is well deserved. There is no miasma mist, but there are other dangers.
"Zhen Zhen, you are waiting in Guojiazhuang." Guo Xu said slowly, "I will accompany Su Junyan into the mountain, and I will definitely protect him." ”
"No way, I'm going into the mountains with him." Li Zhenzhen said, "There are many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in that mountain, and I am good at detoxifying poison, so I must follow closely behind Brother Junyan to rest assured." ”
Hearing this, Guo Xu said, "Zhen Zhen, I am also good at detoxifying poison, so it is enough for me to follow behind Su Junyan alone." ”
"Regarding Junyan's brother's involvement in danger, I have to do it myself to be at ease." Li Zhenzhen changed her words and asked, "Master Guo Zhuang doesn't want me to enter the mountain so much, so what danger is there in Yunluo Mountain?" ”
"The man-eating python." Guo Xu said slowly, "At the beginning, all the people under our hands were broken, and they were all hidden in the mouths of the pythons. In this Yunluo Mountain, there are not only miasma poisonous mist, poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, but also ferocious pythons. ”
He paused, and then said, "Zhen Zhen, in fact, you can persuade Su Junyan. He is already a prince, why should he covet the treasure in the Yunluo Mountain and let himself be in danger? ”
Hearing this, Li Zhenzhen was a little surprised, it turned out that the purpose of their coming here had already been clearly seen by Guo Xu.
"Master Guo, you also know that there are treasures in Yunluo Mountain."
Guo Xu smiled bitterly, "How could you not know?" Because it was your mother and I who did the work of sending the treasure into the mountain. ”
He paused, and then continued, "At the beginning, your mother's father had already felt that the Lan Kingdom's qi was approaching, so he wanted to hide the treasure and leave it to the descendants of the Blue Kingdom royal family. I hope that if there is an opportunity in the future, the descendants of the Blue Country will get the treasure and revive the Blue Country. And when your mother returned from Yunluo Mountain, she told him everything that happened in the mountain. He felt that the mountain was a natural barrier, so he decided to send the treasure there. ”
"Later, your mother and I accepted the assignment and sent the treasure into the mountains."
After settling the treasure, Lan Yuluo and Guo Xu tricked the people in the know to the place where they met the python group in the past. There are some secrets that can't be known to too many people. And only the dead will really keep the secret.
That time was too tragic, it was the first time Lan Yuluo cried. She leaned on Guo Xu's arms, tears soaking through the clothes on his chest. She was blaming herself, but that was what she had to do.
Later, they left Yunluo Mountain. Lan Yuluo asked Guo Xu to settle the families of those who had been with him in the past, and never mentioned this matter again. Because, that was the pain of her life.
She will never forget the tragic scene of the pythons brutally biting them, and every time she dreams about it at midnight, she is covered in a cold sweat. Since then, Guo Xu has one more task - to keep vigil for her.
He loved the task because every time he saw her sleeping face, it was extremely satisfying.
"In that case, wouldn't it be easy for us to go into the mountains to find the treasure?" Li Zhenzhen smiled lightly, "In that case, I should follow up." ”
Guo Xu sighed and said, "Zhen Zhen, if you really want to go along." Why don't you wait until winter comes, maybe those pythons will hibernate. ”
Of course, that Yunluo Mountain is different from other places, and it is possible that the python does not hibernate.
Li Zhenzhen naturally knew that it was rare for Su Junyan to avoid everyone's attention this time, and I am afraid that there will never be such an opportunity in the future. Therefore, this time it is bound to be won.
"No, we have to go into the mountains on this full moon night."
Guo Xu knew that Li Zhenzhen was stubborn, sighed, and said, Zhenzhen, in fact, wealth is something outside the body. The most important thing is to live well. You and Su Junyan, why are you so persistent? ”
Li Zhenzhen smiled slightly, "Master Guo, but sometimes wealth can also make people display their ambitions well, isn't it?" ”
What Su Junyan thought, Li Zhenzhen knew. So what he wants, she will do everything in her power to help.
Hearing this, Guo Xu no longer dissuaded. Although he spent very little time with Li Zhenzhen, he also clearly knew that she had a stubborn personality and was a woman who kept persuading, just like her mother back then. What's more, this matter is related to Su Junyan. With her feelings for Su Junyan, how could she let go and wait.
"That's it, Zhenzhen, I'm not against anything anymore." Guo Xu said slowly, "As long as you tell Su Junyan that he agrees with you to go, go ahead." There are still three days left until the night of the full moon, but there is so much to prepare. After a while, I would go to him and talk to him about things like preparations. ”
"Okay." Li Zhenzhen nodded and said, "Master Guo, thank you." Now, I'll go find Brother Junyan first. ”
After leaving Guo Xu's study, Li Zhenzhen walked to the courtyard where she and Su Junyan lived. She was vaguely apprehensive in her heart, because she didn't know if Su Junyan would be willing to take her there.
However, even if she tried her best, she had to get him to agree to take her into the mountains.
Because, she loves him, very much.
Therefore, she and him have to face the danger together, life and death together.
Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, she will step through it with him.
