No one seemed to object to this proposal anymore, but how to go up was questionable, there was no place to lead to the upper part of this basement, so it was impossible to climb up from the hole where Qin Zhou had jumped. However, it soon became clear that the top of the left corner had been automatically moved and cascaded down on top of each other, and in the blink of an eye, it had become an upward staircase.

A very small trap setup, and I sniffed out the feathers.

There is no doubt that he must have been to this place, otherwise there would not have been Zhu Ke who came to my side in Pingcheng alone and became a shadow he put beside me. Not to mention keeping track of all my movements, at least I've told her a lot of things over the years.

Gu Xi and Qin Zhou went up first, Zhu Ke followed, and Tong Ying held me hostage at the end.

The silence of this meeting has been weighing in my heart, I have never made a move over the years, even if Zhu Ke is close to me, I should not know that there have been several times along the road in Yunnan that have been restrained from being easily exposed. And although Tong Ying's hand was clasped at my throat at this time, with the strength of that grip, I was sure that I could flip and avoid it. But I am not sure of one thing, that is, whether they have crept up at the farm, and whether they have also infiltrated the belly of the mountain in which we are deeply trapped, and if there is a good chance that I have the strength to do so, then Zhu Ke's caution will surely guard against me.

After much deliberation, I chose not to move.

Someone once told me that you should never underestimate your opponent and don't underestimate yourself, that there is no foolproof thing in this world, and that all you can do is be a little more cautious.

When they came to the upper room, Cen Xi and the others were still lying on the ground and sleeping, and they could find that the faces of several people were slightly darkened, obviously due to the invasion of the poisonous gas from the Gu Pond underneath. But what I can't figure out is that Gu Xi and I may be invincible to poison because of our special physique, but Qin Zhou is not, and Tong Ying is not, why are they all right?

I couldn't help but be frightened when I looked at the spot that had just become my blind spot.

The golden python with the thick mouth of the bowl seemed to be frozen there, and the blade pierced seven inches away was still shining silver. couldn't help but look at Qin Zhou, and saw that there was no smug look on his face, but a rare and solemn expression. After getting along, I gradually got to know him.,He's just a wanton gag and frolicking on weekdays.,But when it's time to get serious, he's more serious than anyone else.。

Zhu Ke only glanced at the golden python after coming up, and without saying much, he walked to the table and slapped his hands twice, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Xie Ze with a gloomy face walked in.

He looked at each of us with a fierce and resentful look in his eyes, but my gaze crossed him and fell behind him, and two more men walked in the doorway.

One is covered with a cloth towel, and the other is an old man, both wearing clothes of the same color as Zhu Ke, but the trimmed pattern has turned dark gray, giving people a heavy and strange feeling. The golden ring on the old man's neck is particularly eye-catching, judging from Zhu Ke's respectful attitude towards the two of them, these two must have an extraordinary status in this clan.

I saw Zhu Ke bow down to the two people, and then said with the honor of the master: "Sit down." ”

She was not talking about sitting in her seat, but sitting on the floor, with five or six futons on either side of the long table.

I could feel both gazes gently passing over me, and my heart trembled for no reason. I was pressed by Tong Ying to sit next to Zhu Ke, and the man with the cloth sat on my right side.

Inexplicably, there was an evil aura in the air, which made me frown. I couldn't tell if this person was male or female, and when I sat down, I deliberately looked for an Adam's apple in my throat, but the turtleneck and hood were just enough to wrap it tightly. If you look up and down, you can say that there is no skin exposed from beginning to end, and even your hands are hidden in your sleeves.

After the old man sat down, he said in a hoarse voice: "Everyone who has come from afar, please sit down and drink a glass of water." ”

Gu Xi and Qin Zhou naturally didn't have any fear, and sat down opposite me, during which Gu Xi didn't look at me, but stared at the hooded man in black beside me.

His heart moved, and his demeanor ...... Don't you think this person is Yu?

Immediately, my body gradually became stiff, and even if I didn't look at it anymore, I didn't stop paying attention to this person's movements out of the corner of my eye. But since he sat down, the man has remained calm and unmoved, and it is difficult to judge from some of his movements.

Xie Ze became a black wine jug carried by the attendant, and the porcelain cup on the table was also black pottery, and he stood aside after he poured the clear liquid into the porcelain cup one by one. Zhu Ke pushed the wine to Gu Xi and Qin Zhou, and brought another glass to me, and the rich aroma of wine wafted up. The old man first picked up the wine glass and said a word of please, then pressed it to his lips and took a sip, I found that although he was wearing this kind of national costume, whether it was the etiquette or gesture of drinking, it was the Han etiquette.

If the Mo people mentioned by Zhu Ke before are true, then the Mo family has a history of more than 2,000 years today, but even if a certain generation lives in seclusion in the mountains and combines with local ethnic minorities, those established etiquette are still inherited.

But right now, in this glass of wine, I was still hesitating under the wise eyes of the old man, but I saw that the familiar hand on the other side had already picked up the glass. I finally looked at him in astonishment, but saw that the corners of his eyes rose after his gaze touched mine, and the next second he drank all the wine in the glass.

Don't say it's me, even Qin Zhou stared at him dumbfounded, "Ah Xi, you ......"

But seeing him put down the cup calmly, he said, "Don't worry about me, you can not drink." I stared down and stretched out my hand to rub the rim of the glass, and I could feel that Zhu Ke on my side immediately noticed my action, the corners of my mouth moved slightly, and I also picked up the wine glass and sent it to my lips, but the wine felt spicy when it entered my lips and tongue, and I could barely drink half a glass.

Qin Zhou was shocked again and said, "Chang Xiaoyuan, why are you also going crazy with him?" Can I drink this wine? ”

I smiled and said, "What's not to drink, it's just spicy." ”

"Spicy?" Qin Zhou's expression became a little funny, and he looked at the wine glass and said hesitantly, "Then I'll drink it too." Although he said it so reluctantly, after picking up the wine glass, he simply dried the wine, smacked his lips twice and shook his head and commented: "It's not a good wine without the strength of Moutai." ”

In fact, I don't know the bottom in my heart, but even if Gu Xi let go of my hand just now and let me be caught by Tong Ying, he still felt that he couldn't really mislead us, so no matter whether this glass of wine was poisonous or not, he must have the self-control to drink it.

After all three of us had drunk, Zhu Ke gave an understated order: "Let's feed a few of them some drinks too." ”

Immediately understood that the "they" she was talking about meant the people who were still lying on the ground, Xie Ze was angry at this time, lowered his eyebrows, and listened to the order to take the wine jug to Cen Xi, but he poured the wine directly on her face, and also used this method to the rest of the people.

But in an instant, the people who were originally unconscious woke up and turned around.

Needless to say, the shock is not to be said, but Cen Xi's on-the-spot adaptability is indeed not to be underestimated, and after his face changed a few times, he calmed down and sat up. Xiao You next to her didn't look as calm as her, looking left and right with a shocked face, but she didn't dare to speak.

He Zhixu is also a calm person, except for a flash of surprise when he opened his eyes, and after looking around, his eyes settled on me, and a melancholy appeared in his eyes. He should have seen the heresy, Tong Ying's hand was still clasped on my shoulder blade, and my seat was between Zhu Ke and the black-robed man.

I only heard Zhu Ke beside me say with a smile: "Gu Shao is really insightful, and he knows that my Golden Snake Wine is the antidote to Gu Qi." ”

"What wine?" Qin Zhou asked directly.

Zhu Ke lowered his eyes and lifted the cup to his lips and pressed it gently, and then repeated: "Golden snake wine is made by soaking with special snake skin and snake gall. Qin Zhou's face suddenly turned bad, and he pointed to the dead golden python in the corner of the wall and asked, "The golden snake you said doesn't mean it, right?" ”

Zhu Ke glanced lightly in the direction he was pointing and said, "It is a female snake, and the snake skin on its body has the best poison repellent effect. The implication is that this wine is made from this golden python.

The corners of Qin Zhou's mouth twitched, and he complained to me: "Chang Xiaoyuan blames you for causing me to drink such a disgusting thing." ”

Although after knowing that this wine was soaked in the snake skin and gall of the golden python, there would indeed be some strangeness in his heart, but it would not be as big as Qin Zhou's reaction.

Zhu Ke was obviously unhappy to hear it, and snorted coldly: "Disgusting? If it weren't for the fact that you had touched the snake skin of the female snake and been stained by its breath, you thought you would be able to withstand the Gu Qi of the Gu Pond below? ”

This is also clear, the reason why Qin Zhou was not invaded by the poisonous gas was because he had a fight with the golden python, and even killed it with a knife of seven inches, there would definitely be snake blood splashed on him, so that he could not be affected by the poisonous gas for the time being.

As for the others, including Tong Ying, they must have already drunk a glass of Golden Snake Wine after coming here.

I'm curious about where Gu Xi came from to be able to calculate so accurately, in case...... Is there poisoned wine in this cup? He and I may not be poisoned by this, but Qin Zhou can.

The old man spoke again: "Since you're awake, let's all sit down, Ozawa, go get a few more futons." ”

Xie Ze quickly took a few more cushions from the cupboard on the side and put them on the table, Cen Xi was the first to get up and sit down without hesitation, Xiao You looked here and then looked at He Zhixu, who was not moving, and chose to stay where he was. Then Ade was the strangest one, his mind still seemed to be confused, and he woke up after being doused with the golden snake wine, still lying motionless, his eyes glazed over.

So although the old man invited and asked Xie Ze to take the futon out, he didn't buy it all, and in the end only Cen Xi sat at the table. Such a pattern also seems to have a delicate atmosphere, with three groups of people at one table, each with its own purpose.

Zhu Ke chuckled lightly, and then spoke: "Now that the people are all counted, let me introduce you first: this is Elder Gemu, and the one on the right is Elder Daofei, they are all in charge of our clan." ”

It was still Elder Gemu who was Zhu Kekou who spoke: "I heard that a girl had a strange temperament for patterns, so I always wanted to invite her to talk about it. But by the way, the time has not yet come, and it is also the blessing of our clan to finally see it today. His gaze turned to me at this, and needless to say, the person he was talking about was referring to me.

Although this old man uses a name like an ethnic minority, his speech is very Chinese. It may be that he has lived in the mountains for a long time and has not communicated with the outside world, so that the so-called Mo culture has been passed down from generation to generation, and there is a tone similar to that of the ancients between the words.
