183 Dark Arrow
(Cat flutter Chinese ) Qiuqiu took the opportunity to sweep the queen's room and inspect it as well, including the medicine the queen usually reads, the places where things may be hidden in the dormitory, etc., all of which were not let go, and all the things that were suspicious were picked out. For example, medicines that can be consumed.
In this process, Huo'er Ke helped her a lot - or rather, this little guy is simply fishing in troubled waters, with no big moves, and constant small moves. Qiuqiu sometimes checks a bunch of things, and when she goes to look at the next batch, she always feels a little wrong. Looking back, it doesn't seem like much has changed. Looking at the fire again, this guy shook his head and tail at her with an innocent face.
At this time, people don't know the word selling cute, Qiuqiu thought, but some people have no teacher about the word selling cute.
But doesn't Huo'er know a word? Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. It's okay, why are you trying to sell cuteness to her? This is clearly covering up the weakness of the heart and whitewashing the peace!
Huo'er still doesn't know how deep enough.
It's like a three- or five-year-old child, if you are afraid that he will steal food, he will spread out his palm to show you: "Look at me, I didn't steal food." But the corners of your mouth are still stained with rice, so you should wipe your mouth clean if you want to pretend, right?
But for the sake of Huo'er's meritorious service just now, Qiuqiu can't seriously care about it. This spiritual pet is really the same as raising a child, sometimes you need to turn a blind eye. Don't talk about it, it's the big white and the white them, when Qiuqiu just took them as spiritual pets, they secretly went to the medicine garden of the master and sister to steal their mouths and eat, and Qiuqiu sometimes can only pretend not to see it.
There is no big harvest, Qiuqiu just took a few pills from a few pill bottles to see the medicinal properties, there is indeed a little problem with the medicine, but it is not a big problem - although the queen has no husband, Qiuqiu has witnessed that she is a lover. It's normal to have some kind of spice for the next few things.
However, Huo'er brought a small box for Qiuqiu from the corner of the queen's dark room.
"What is this?"
Qiuqiu picked up the box and saw that it was a copper box, but it was one palm long and half a palm wide, and it didn't look unusual. There is a lock on the box.
Qiuqiu glanced at Huo'er, and Huo'er put the box on his head again.
"You want what's inside?"
Qiuqiu felt that she wanted to ask herself to help open the box.
Although there is a lock on it, it is not difficult for Qiuqiu.
She touched the small lock, and with a slight pull of her fingernails on the lock, the lock snapped open.
As a result, to Qiuqiu's surprise, there was still a box in the box.
This box is a little smaller than the one outside. There is not a single crack on it, and I can't find a place to start even if I want to open it.
"What is this?"
Qiuqiu was on guard, so she didn't hurry to do it first, and put a layer of enchantment on the box.
She said this as if she was talking to herself, even if Huo'er knew what was inside. There's no way to tell her.
There are not many pearls and treasures here in the Queen, but none of them are so tightly and strangely packaged like this.
If it's something very important. But why just put it aside? If it's something that doesn't matter. How can it be so tight?
Such a box is by no means something that ordinary craftsmen can make, it must be that kind of ingenious hand, and only a craftsman at the level of a grandmaster has such a skill.
The box is not heavy, Qiuqiu used spiritual power to probe, and the contents should not be metal. But no matter how much it is, it won't be detected.
Of course, there is another way, which is to split the box directly with a sword.
This can be done at risk. Generally, the boxes of such mechanisms are intended to contain some secret and well-known things. Violent demolition, it is likely that the mechanism inside the box will destroy the thing. It's a futile effort.
After Qiuqiu tried and couldn't open the box, she simply put the box away.
The incense burning in the hall may have a calming effect, and the heat of the charcoal hot kang smokes this incense, and the doors and windows are closed, making people feel suffocated.
Huo'er also seemed to be a little impatient.
"Stuffy? Let's get some air outside. ”
Qiuqiu sat on the roof of the palace with Huo'er, and the night wind blew on her face, dispelling all the boredom just now. There was a little choking smell of gunpowder smoke in the wind, and fires could be faintly seen flashing from time to time in the capital.
There was no moon in the sky, and the clouds were overcast.
Huo'er's head turned to the east, and he didn't move for a long time, as if he was in a daze.
"What's wrong?"
It was pitch black at night, and Qiuqiu couldn't see anything.
Huo'er's golden eyes glowed slightly, and in the darkness, they looked like two small lanterns.
Suddenly, it jumped out.
Qiuqiu was slightly startled and stood up.
The fire seemed to have a clear goal, and it leaped straight forward, speeding forward on the roof of the palace.
Is it going to be found?
From the time Huo'er came out of the shell to the present, Qiuqiu has never seen it so attached to one thing or one thing.
In front, Huo'er had already jumped out of the palace wall.
Qiuqiu turned her head and glanced at it, a little undecided.
What the hell is Huo'er going to do? It has never been to the capital, what is so attractive about it in the capital?
Qiuqiu hesitated slightly, and immediately made up her mind, she flicked her fingers into the signal, and a line of streamer that ordinary people's eyes could not catch quickly rose into the sky, bursting out of a cloud of silver stars.
Only a few breaths away, a ray of light rose not far away.
Since there was still someone to take care of the queen, Qiuqiu put her mind at ease and followed Huo'er.
Huo'er's body shone with a reddish light, drawing a sinuous arc of light in the dark night.
Qiuqiu followed behind it, not only out of the palace, but also through most of the capital.
In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the city wall of the outer city of the capital, Huo'er did not hesitate, jumped over, and flew over the city tower.
The fire kept going until it reached the bottom of the mountain.
Qiuqiu stopped and looked up.
This place is already a hundred miles away from the capital.
This mountain is in the east of the capital, and it was called Washan in the previous dynasty, and later changed to the dynasty, and many places were renamed by the new dynasty, and this Washan was also renamed Shanye Mountain. A Buddhist temple was also built on the mountain, which is Eiheiji Temple. Two days ago, Qiuqiu also met an old Zen master from Eiheiji Temple.
Because there is a Buddhist temple on this mountain, the imperial court has forbade people to shoot, cut down, and take soil in this mountain for many years. As a result, the mountain is densely forested, and birds and animals live very freely.
The fire stopped, as if waiting for Qiuqiu to approach.
Qiuqiu reached out to it, and the fire jumped onto her palm.
"Why are you here?"
Huo'er's eyes showed an anxious and mournful look.
Qiuqiu felt a tightness in her heart.
Huo'er, the little guy, has been unafraid of heaven and earth since he came out of the shell, and even dared to be presumptuous to the master of Shi'er, Qiuqiu had never seen it show such a look.
"You don't have to rush. What exactly do you want to do? ”
Huo'er turned her head to look at the top of the mountain.
"You want to go up the mountain?"
Huo'er nodded vigorously.
Qiuqiu comforted it: "Then I'll accompany you." ”
If Huo'er wants to go up the mountain, he doesn't have to wait for Qiuqiu to go up the mountain himself.
To make it stop, there must be something it has to worry about.
Qiuqiu could vaguely feel that there was indeed something on this mountain.
With the gore and something else......
It makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Qiuqiu settled down and suppressed the boredom in his chest. Keep moving forward.
What Huo'er was looking for, she already knew.
It must be the presence that makes her feel very uncomfortable.
What is this thing?
The closer you get. The more irritated the feeling is.
That kind of thing. With a strong sense of destruction. It was as if if if closing her eyes, this boundless darkness would fall down on her like a mountain and a sea, burying her completely. It was lifeless despair.
What's on this mountain?
Something suddenly shot silently in the darkness, Qiuqiu paused, and the blue light from the water sword burst out like water droplets, cutting the dark arrow into two.
More featherless arrows ricocheted out of the darkness. They all crashed into the sword net formed by the water sword, and the clanging sound was like a shower.
Qiuqiu picked up a small dark arrow.
It's not an iron arrow, it's an arrowhead, and the body of the arrow is black wood, and it is highly poisonous. If an ordinary person is scratched a little bit, his skin will see blood. Kill instantly.
Who is here to set up a formation?
However, it seems that it is just to prevent ordinary people, and these things are of little use to cultivators.
Qiuqiu's foot tripped over something, and she stopped to look down.
It was a corpse.
Wearing monk's robes, he has a ring scar on his bald head.
It's a monk.
Qiuqiu turned her head and glanced in the direction of the mountain in front of her.
Is it a monk from Eiheiji?
It seems that they have been dead for many days, why did the old Zen master of Yongheiji Temple not mention the dead people in the temple when he saw them that day? Was it that he didn't know, or did he feel like he didn't want to bother them with such a trivial matter?
What if neither of the above reasons?
Qiuqiu walked around the corpse on the ground and continued to walk forward.
The terrain here is not very high, and it is in the recess of the foothills behind the front mountain.
The dark arrows were shot for a while, and they became scattered.
There are also two traps underground, which have also been bypassed by Qiuqiu.
In front of it is a high platform made of rubble.
Qiuqiu looked up, she arrived.
Behind the stone platform, a black shadow suddenly shot out, and even people with swords collided with Qiuqiu.
Qiuqiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she spun an arc away from the water sword, and the room avoided the person's vital point, and swept the back of the man's waist and neck with a heavy blow.
The man didn't even snort before he was knocked unconscious and thrown out.
In the darkness, a few more people rushed out one after another, and these obstructions were not a problem for Qiuqiu at all.
A person came out from behind the high platform, looking very old, his waist was already stiff and couldn't stand up, coughing from time to time, and he stood there quietly looking at Qiuqiu. (To be continued.) )
PS: I don't have a fever today. Congratulations. It's the side effects of cold medicine that keep me sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, sleeping...
Thank you for your concern, although I can't do it, I will try to keep changing. Cat flutter Chinese
