The empty mountains are quiet, the flowers are in full bloom, and the colors of the flowers can be seen at night, and the occasional birdsong can be heard.

Qing'er mixed the pills she was carrying on her body with the materials that Changying had found temporarily, and made a few improvised smoke bombs that she carried with her.

The third prince took people to cut a lot of bamboo, made a few strong bamboo rafts, because it is not clear, the flow of the river, if it encounters a sharp turn, or an undercurrent, it is very dangerous, everyone also found some bamboo, after the pin hole, tied to the body, so that after falling into the water, can float on the water in time.

Everything is ready, although Uncle Jinghuang's legs have been given the pill to remove Gu poison, but they have been crippled for a long time, and the muscles in his legs need to be exercised to gradually resume walking, and Aunt Ling's body is weak, so it is not easy to participate in this rafting operation.

Changyang stayed with more than a dozen guards to take care of the rear, and the King of Jin also left some people, because he was worried that Zhu Rancheng would jump off the wall in a hurry and run out of the dark passage, so he had to leave enough people to protect them.

Qing'er's swimming skills are still good, and she is eager to go with her, but this is in ancient times, once a woman falls into the water, her clothes are attached to her body, it is inappropriate, and even affects her reputation, and King Jin will never allow it.

Dark One and Dark Two stayed, although the King of Jin was nervous about Qing'er's safety, but Mu Qing's safety represented whether the people of Mexico could avoid this war unharmed, and he was duty-bound as the prince of Mexico.

Boyan is old, the third prince must go, Mu Ningyuan's stay has been discussed for a long time, this time inside, the situation is unknown, and even Zhu Rancheng is deeply hidden and has a martial arts foundation.

And Mu Ningyuan is a talented person, but he is a weak scholar, and falling into the water is a problem, not to mention that after entering, the sword has no eyes, which is very embarrassing.

In ancient times, there was no suturing technique, even if the fairy was there, after all, it could only temporarily stop the bleeding, such a chaotic scene, Mu Ningyuan was obviously a burden.

However, Mu Ningyuan insisted on following, precisely because the situation inside was unknown, he might be able to use him, and it was true that he would use force, but he also needed to use his brain, if Zhu Rancheng arranged some patterns or arrays of the Five Elements Bagua inside, these were all things that Mu Ningyuan had studied.

It's not proficient, but it's much better than those of them who have never been involved.

After several insistences, Mu Ningyuan was finally included in the ranks of the people who set off to enter the valley, and the third prince was designated as the person who personally protected Mu Ningyuan.

Taking advantage of the night to enter the valley is the most opportune time, and under the cover of night, they may be less damaged.

Qing'er stuffed some antidote pills into the sleeve of King Jin, and told him a few words of urgency, which caused King Jin to laugh happily, and his little wife really made him love it, comforted him a few words, and turned around and got on the bamboo raft.

The bamboo raft draws on the experience of the ancients, and adds Qing'er's corrections, tying a lot of sturdy square stools to the bamboo raft, not to let people rest, but to be able to use these to stabilize the body when the water is turbulent, so as not to fall into the water.

The bamboo raft was also fenced around it, all of which played a protective role, and the bamboo raft soon disappeared from their sight and floated into the distance.

Qing'er propped her neck and looked at it for a long time, even if she couldn't see it for a long time, she still looked at it stupidly.

Dark One touched the magpie with his wrist and motioned for her to persuade. Since the prince and the princess opened their hearts, this is the first time that the young couple have separated, and it is the beginning of uncertain life and death, and everyone is a little sad.

Liuzhu stepped forward and held Qing'er's cold little hand, "Miss, it's still a little cold at night in the mountains, let's go to the fire and bake the fire." Wang Yeji people have their own natural appearance, and they will come back safely. ”

The magpie hugged Qing'er's other side, "Miss, go back, the prince knows that he will be distressed." ”

The bonfire dispelled the cold breeze of the night, Qing'er looked at Liuzhu with complicated puzzles, the news she got from Uncle Jinghuang was that Liuzhu was most likely a spy buried in Murong Mansion in Mo Zhuohan's early years.

Back then, Mo Zhuohan was just the son of a merchant, so why was he able to put Liuzhu in Murong Mansion? Now Mo Zhuohan has asked Liuzhu to do everything possible to get close to Changying, there are a lot of secrets on Uncle Jinghuang alone, but it is definitely not something that Changying can tell Liuzhu completely.

Changying is Uncle Jinghuang's personal guard, and he is also a dead soldier, and he will never betray his lord, so why are they doing this? A series of questions lingered in her mind, but she couldn't ask them directly, she couldn't be sure, Liuzhu would choose her or Mo Zhuohan, after all, when she was lost in her feelings, she didn't know what she had done.

Liuzhu either noticed the change in Qing'er's attitude towards her, or she was a thief, and always dodged Qing'er's inquiring eyes. Books.com

Under the moonlight, the river is murmuring, and the bright colors intersect with black, moving forward steadily. After about a cup of tea, the river suddenly became wider, but the view was obscured by the two mountains on the left and right.

The crescent moon was in the sky, shining straight down, and there was no longer the gentle and quiet just now, and there seemed to be a strange atmosphere slowly brewing around them.

King Jin asked everyone to half-squat on the bamboo raft and closely watch the movement ahead. Suddenly, there was a loud sound in his ears, and Mu Ningyuan reminded in a low voice: "There should be a cliff in front, which is the sound of water flowing vertically, and everyone is tied to their waists with ropes." ”

The other end of the rope is tied to the bamboo raft, so that when going vertically, the bamboo raft collides with the sharp stones underwater, and they can avoid injury by taking advantage of the bamboo raft's shelter.

The third prince tied the rope and stretched out his hand to pull Mu Ningyuan, the two big men held hands together, it was really awkward, but this was the best way to protect Mu Ningyuan, his water quality was not good, and he could barely avoid being drowned, but in the current situation, the torrent is going down, who can guarantee that the accident will not come first.

King Jin tightly grasped the small square piece on the bamboo raft, and held the rope tightly with one hand, their sight was instantly extinguished by the current, they couldn't see anything, even their breathing had to be closed, everything was so fast, the bamboo raft kept beating against the stone wall, and the water was splitting their heads and covering their faces. Fortunately, the cliff was not particularly high, and after a while, they fell to the river below the cliff with relief.

The bamboo raft was very sturdy, and even after a bump, it still held them up steadily. Mu Ningyuan's face was a little pale, his breath-holding time was too short, and he was not as good as a martial arts practitioner, and his lung capacity was larger.

When he fell, he choked on several mouthfuls of water, but the third prince never let go of his hand, which gave him a lot of confidence to get through.

King Jin looked around, this is a cave, the wall above his head actually has a very beautiful stalactite, through the occasional moonlight, there are a lot of things on the stone wall, like birds, the kind with wings, but what kind of birds, will live in such a dark and damp place.

Mu Ningyuan almost exclaimed, "That's a bat, hurry up and light the ghee torch," Changying opened the bag tied to the bamboo raft. Fortunately, the waterproof linoleum cloth has passed.

Lighting the ghee torch with flint, Mu Ningyuan asked everyone to squat down, the torch was raised above their heads, swaying gently, no one spoke, they were all staring at the animals above their heads with wide eyes, and they could attack them at any time before they had never seen them.

It wasn't until the bamboo raft went far away that Mu Ningyuan let out a long breath: "This is a bat, it will attack humans, they don't eat meat, but they live by sucking blood." I saw it in an ancient book, and I thought it was terrible, so I engraved it in my mind, but they were afraid of fire. ”

After listening to this, everyone soaked out of a cold sweat, which was originally wet clothes, and then let the cold in the cave press, everyone felt even colder, but fortunately, the butter torch could still bring a trace of warmth.

This is just the beginning, and we have already encountered several dangers, and the further we go, the more difficulties we may have, and how long we will have to go, everyone is at a loss.

The sound of the water is still gentle, they leave four people to watch the changes in the surrounding environment at all times, and the rest of the people are gnawing on dry food, everyone is three or five mouthfuls to solve the problem, who still has the heart to eat at this time, but it is just to cushion the stomach, saving a while without strength.

The river became turbulent, and the bamboo raft was not as stable as before, and from time to time it would be carried by the current to the stone wall, rampage, so that their bodies would also sway, but fortunately, the square stool on the bamboo raft made them hold tightly, and the rope also helped a lot.

The butter torch was extinguished in an instant, and everyone was panicked, and Mu Ningyuan felt the tightness of his breathing: "Everyone maintain physical strength, try to move as little as possible, don't consume physical strength, our breathing will be very tight, and it will be fine after this period." ”

After speaking, his eyes stared anxiously ahead, a bright spot in the distance, gradually expanding, he knew that it was the exit of the cave, that was hope, and there might be a greater disaster waiting for them, and they had no way back except to move forward.

Finally, in the expectation of darkness, they rushed out of the cave, the night wind blew, the wind was cool, they did not dare to light the torch in their hands again, they could only use the moonlight to look around.

King Jin decisively ordered everyone to dock the bamboo raft, obviously, they were already in the valley, and if they wanted to avoid the night watchmen arranged by Zhu Rancheng, they had to quietly touch it from the grass.

The raft was hidden on the edge of the cave wall, and was tightly trapped to the large rock with a rope to prevent it from being swept away by the current.

Do all the aftermath, they wrung out the wet clothes on their bodies again, people with strong martial arts, directly dried with internal force, King Jin took the lead to help Mu Ningyuan dry the clothes on his body, because he didn't understand the situation here, he couldn't start a fire rashly.

Everyone walked slowly and groped forward, paying attention to the changes in the scenery around them as much as possible on the way.

The wind and grass were blowing, and the king of Jin suddenly stopped his steps, gesticulating for everyone to stop, and the sound of hee hee suo sounded in the grass.
