Chapter 075: The Strange Arrow Shot Into the Carriage
After Ah Xiyan carefully inspected the bracelet, she found that in the crystal clear lilac bracelet, those golden silk threads seemed to still emit a faint light.
Although it was daytime at the moment, so it was not obvious, Ah Xiyan felt that if it was night, the entire bracelet would presumably glow, which was more than enough to prove that this bracelet was as valuable as the pearl of the night.
It's just that Ah Xiyan doesn't understand why such a precious bracelet was given to her by a masked man on the night of the second night when her mother just married into the General's Mansion more than ten years ago?
If you want to know your life experience, you can wear a bracelet and enter the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
As for her mother's life experience, Ah Xiyan has learned from her grandmother, that is, since her mother can give birth to a natural poison body, it means that she is a natural poison carrier.
Just like her grandmother, she is also a natural poison carrier, and she looks like an ordinary person, but the child she gives birth to is likely to be born with a poison.
Of course, Ah Xiyan understands that the mother of a natural poison carrier will not give birth to every child must be born with a poison body, just like her grandmother gave birth to three daughters, and the eldest daughter, Concubine Niangniang, is completely an ordinary person.
The second daughter, the eldest lady, is a natural poison carrier, and the third daughter is an authentic natural poison child.
This can also be verified from her younger brother A Xichen, who was born to her mother's eldest wife, after all, A Xichen is also a completely normal ordinary person.
Ah Xiyan also learned from her grandmother that her mother was not only a natural poison carrier, but also the daughter of the Qilin Holy Priest.
It's just that her mother was brought up by Concubine Niangniang since she was a child, and she has never seen her grandmother so far, so she doesn't know that she is still the daughter of the Qilin Holy Maiden of the royal family of the previous dynasty.
Ah Xiyan thought about it, more than ten years ago, the masked man sneaked into the General's Mansion, handed the bracelet to his mother and asked her to go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, and what she could know about her life experience was nothing more than this.
In that case, why didn't the masked man tell her mother in person, but why did she have to go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons in person?
Didn't the other party think it was dangerous to let a weak woman who was not born with a poisonous body enter the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons alone?
Although Ah Xiyan now knows through her grandmother that her mother is a natural poison carrier, and even if she enters the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, she will not be poisoned, but without the protection of the personal sachet, as long as it takes one night, she is destined to be eaten into a pile of white bones by hundreds of millions of poisonous insects.
Unless this bracelet also has the insect repellent effect of a sachet, so the other party dares to persuade her mother to go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons alone.
In this way, Ah Xiyan is full of curiosity about this bracelet again, that is, this bracelet that is a rare treasure at first glance, can actually drive away the poisonous insects of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, it is simply too perfect!
Isn't it possible to cross the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons with your eyes closed while wearing a bracelet?
And then the masked man claimed to be entrusted by someone, so who entrusted him with the bracelet and the message?
Obviously, it couldn't be someone sent by her grandmother, because her grandmother also knew that the eldest lady was her second daughter when she saw A Xiyan before.
But if it was her grandfather, that is, the Qilin Holy Priest Commander, who sent someone, it didn't seem to be reasonable.
Because her grandmother didn't know that the eldest lady was her own daughter, how did her grandfather know about it?
If her grandfather knew about it in another way, why didn't he tell her grandmother?
And listening to her grandmother, her grandfather seems to have been missing for a long time, and it is obviously impossible to send someone to send a bracelet to the eldest lady.
Ah Xiyan thought about it, and the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.
And found a very perverse problem.
That's what her grandmother told her personally, many years ago, when her grandmother's grandmother was a Qilin saintess, all the Qilin saints disappeared overnight.
Later, her grandmother's grandmother was found by the royal family, but because the Qilin Saint could no longer be found, the royal family lost the Qilin Saint who shocked the whole country, and finally fell apart, and the country was divided into two by two other hostile forces, becoming the two great powers it is today.
And the royal family of the previous dynasty had no choice but to take refuge in the underground kingdom of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, recuperate and wait for the day when the Qilin Saint Priest returns, and then make a comeback and dominate the world.
Since the Qilin Priest disappeared when her grandmother's grandmother was still alive, how did her grandmother marry the Kirin Priest Commander?
Could it be that many years after the collective disappearance of the Qilin Saints, the leader of the Qilin Saints, that is, her grandfather, appeared alone again and married her grandmother.
After giving birth to three daughters, did they disappear again?
That's weird, isn't it?
After meditating for a long time, Ah Xiyan, who didn't figure it out, felt that her grandmother must have hidden some more important things from her.
Because when Ah Xiyan asked her grandmother what happened after she left the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons in Jingxin Yuan before she was sent to the cold palace, her grandmother told her that it was not the time to tell her all the truth, let her find her grandfather first.
So after calming down and recalling it repeatedly, Ah Xiyan knew that there was no point in guessing like this, and only by going to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons in person might be able to uncover the truth.
It's like the masked man who sneaked into her mother's dormitory when she first said that she had to wear a bracelet and go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons in person to know her background.
Moreover, her mother's letter also mentioned that the masked man said that once he entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons with a bracelet, not only would his life be in danger, but he would also receive the most honorable treatment!
Ah Xiyan doesn't understand what this most honorable treatment means?
But Ah Xiyan has a hunch, that is, the so-called noble treatment of the other party should not harm her mother's intentions, otherwise wouldn't it be okay to directly let the masked man kill her mother on the spot?
There's no need to trick her mother into going to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons to do it again, wouldn't it be too much?
After thinking about all this, Ah Xiyan also pinned her hopes on the upcoming trip across the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
After tearing up the letter in her hand and spilling it out of the window of the fast-running carriage, Ah Xiyan also calmed down and focused on the next trip to the border pass.
According to Ah Xiyan's estimate, with the current speed of the carriage, it will be able to reach the entrance of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons in the evening.
At noon, you should stop in some big city, rest, have lunch, and let the horses eat something before continuing their journey.
When you arrive at the entrance to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons at night, you will set up camp there, eat something, and rest for the night.
Tomorrow morning, when the sky is dark, we will officially set off, enter the dark river, and begin the operation of crossing the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
If all goes well, one day should be enough to cross the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
After leaving the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons at night, rest for another night, and set off as soon as dawn, you can reach the border in half a day at most.
In this way, it happened to be two and a half days that A Xiyan expected to rush to the border gate.
The reason why Ah Xiyan didn't plan to cross the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons directly overnight when she arrived in the evening was because she had rushed all the way during the day, and people were too tired, and their physical resistance would drop significantly.
In this state of physical and mental exhaustion, it is too dangerous to traverse the highly poisonous Ten Thousand Poison Valley, and the night of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley is more terrifying than the day, and many poisonous insects come out in groups at night.
Including those highly poisonous flowers and plants, they will bloom in large quantities at night, releasing highly toxic gases, and even at night in the dark river, many highly poisonous water snakes will float up from the bottom of the river and begin to feed, so in this case, Ah Xiyan is not sure that she can safely cross the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons with these soldiers who are not born with poisonous physiques.
In addition, Ah Xiyan also had to use the herbs in the dense forest at the edge of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons to make a temporary detoxification mask, so that those soldiers who escorted her across the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons would not be poisoned to death by the poisonous miasma in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
It takes time to prepare, so Ah Xiyan plans to make all preparations in the first half of the night, and everyone will sleep well in the second half of the night, and it is the safest and wisest thing to set off the next morning.
And after leaving the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, Ah Xiyan didn't plan to rush to the border overnight.
Because the soldiers who wore temporary detoxification masks for a day still have toxins in their bodies more or less invading them, one is that the medicine is poisonous, and the herbs for this temporary detoxification are also poisonous to their physique.
Second, during the period of crossing the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, it is inevitable that the body will be contaminated with a lot of poisonous powder on the surface of the body, and it will also seep into the body along the sweat due to sweating.
After leaving the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, in addition to Ah Xiyan and the poisonous scorpion dead, those extremely tired soldiers will definitely have symptoms of poisoning.
Not to mention dizziness, if it is serious, it will be temporarily unconscious, and it is not suitable to continue to travel.
Therefore, Ah Xiyan has to prepare a special antidote and detoxification for everyone, and then rest for one night before returning to normal.
When A Xiyan sat in the carriage and went through the specific details of the two-and-a-half-day itinerary in her mind, she was also very confident that she would arrive at the border on time in two and a half days.
And planned to take the scorpion dead soldier into the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons in the second half of the night after everyone fell asleep, to see if she could use the mysterious bracelet given to her by her mother to find out her mother's background.
At first, Ah Xiyan planned to enter the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons alone to check the truth, after all, what the masked man said back then was to let her mother enter the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons alone.
Obviously, there should be no danger.
But Ah Xiyan thought about it and felt that after all, more than ten years have passed since this matter, and it is possible that things have changed.
Moreover, her trip to the border this time is very important, and she can't tolerate any mistakes on her own, so it is more secure to have the protection of the scorpion dead soldier with extraordinary skills.
Moreover, the scorpion dead man was originally the one who guarded the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, so he must be more familiar with the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
Especially when her grandmother said that when she crossed the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons this time, she would take a trip to the underground kingdom of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons by the way to learn about the real Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, which might be of great benefit to her in finding the whereabouts of the Qilin Saint.
You can also take the opportunity to have a good chat with the scorpion dead soldier alone, and maybe you can learn more about the secrets of the Qilin Holy Priest.
"Whoosh!"
Just as Ah Xiyan was sitting in the carriage and thinking about her next plan very attentively, she didn't expect a strange arrow that looked like a snake to shoot into her carriage.
And it happened to shoot at her feet, shaking up and down very much, as if a snake was about to bite Ah Xiyan, and it also scared Ah Xiyan fiercely.
"Ahh
Ah Xiyan also instinctively screamed, and suddenly, after hearing the carriage driver's "hoo", she quickly stopped the carriage.
As soon as the carriage stopped, the coachman and Ah Xichen opened the curtain of the carriage at the same time and looked at Ah Xiyan.
When they saw the strange arrow under Ah Xi's feet clearly, their faces also changed......
