Chapter 397: Poisonous Insects Block the Way
With Su Su's help, Xue'er once again changed into the clothes of a small servant, hugged the black eagle, followed behind Zhong Limo, and walked out of the back door of King Ling's mansion.
Along the way, Zhong Limo took her through the streets and alleys, turning around, and actually arrived at the east gate of Ruiyang!
Not long after the city gate was closed, Xue'er watched Zhong Limo take out a token, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city let the two of them go.
Xue'er was puzzled: "Isn't your country's national teacher in the city?" ”
Zhong Limo nodded: "The southeast of Ruiyang City, seven or eight miles away." ”
He didn't explain more, and Xue'er didn't ask any more, after all, this is Nanping, and she is hindered by her identity for many things, so she can't ask more.
Zhong Limo hesitated for a moment, and then asked Xue'er, "Miss Shen, can you walk?" ”
This sentence was asked strangely, Xue'er was stunned for a long time before she reacted, Zhong Limo should have wanted to ask her how her light skills were, but she was a little embarrassed to speak out, so she asked such a sentence.
Cher nodded and replied with only one word: "Yes." ”
Zhong Limo stretched out his arms towards him: "Miss Shen, why don't you let me help you take this divine bird?" ”
This man still doesn't believe in his own light work!
Xue'er smiled, but did not hand over the black eagle in her arms to the other party, but said, "Thank you Your Royal Highness King Ling for your kindness, please lead the way." ”
Zhong Limo glanced at Xue'er deeply, his eyes were complicated, but in the end he didn't say much, just turned around silently.
The next moment, his figure suddenly accelerated, and he flew away in the southeast direction!
Xue'er was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly hugged the black eagle tightly, and the mysterious air flow in her body followed suit.
Because it was night, her vision was blocked, and Xue'er had to keep an eye on Zhong Limo in front of her, so she didn't have the heart to look at the surrounding scenery.
She only felt that there were many shadows around her, there should be a lot of low shrubs, and the fragrance of plants and trees at the end of her nose was mixed with the smell of dampness and heat, and in a few moments, the night dew was already wet with her clothes.
Xue'er has no internal strength, and is completely maintained by that mysterious airflow, the speed is not fast, but it is long-lasting, Zhong Limo only needs to relax a little, she can catch up.
Seeing Xue'er catching up, Zhong Limo seemed to be stunned, but quickly returned to normal, turned his head and continued to hurry.
The distance of seven or eight miles is nothing for Xue'er now, but after walking almost halfway, the surrounding trees suddenly became taller, and then they simply covered the sky and the sun, and as far as the eye could see, there was only a large black area!
Zhong Limo stopped, and Xue'er also stopped after him, and saw Zhong Limo turn around and look at her solemnly: "Miss Shen, from now on, you must follow me, and you must not take a wrong step!" ”
He said it very solemnly, so that Xue'er couldn't help but put away her contempt, and Zhengse responded: "Okay." ”
Next, Xue'er experienced the "poor mountains and bad waters" of Nanping in the mouth of the world for the first time!
Tall trees shade the sky and the sun, and the vines are dense, and there are many strange plants, and the broad leaves are full of jagged teeth all around, and if you are accidentally scratched, it is even better than a sword!
Zhong Limo had already drawn out his scimitar to open the way, firmly protecting Xue'er behind him, but those flying insects were really unguardable!
There are some unknown nocturnal flying insects around, some of them have slender and long but hard burrs on their backs, some of their abdomen is still fluorescent, colorful, and some are strangely shaped, which Xue'er has never heard of or seen.
One by one, they are not afraid of people at all, flying around the two of them, and those who can't fly are afraid to crawl around, not on Xue'er's head, shoulders, back, and feet...... In short, wherever a person can fall, they will occupy it with impunity!
A fist-sized spider, with eight slender legs, walked among the rotten leaves on the ground, making a thin rustling sound, and when Cher looked down, she saw that on its glowing green back, the black patches were actually the shape of a human face!
A human face is a human face, or a crying face!
There are also centipedes that are longer than a palm, and those two rows of dense legs make Xue'er suddenly fall to the ground with goosebumps!
Before she could lift her feet, she heard a "whew" sound, and an object flew overhead, and even grabbed a few of her hairs, and when she looked up, it was a bat with its wings spread all the way, more than two feet long, and those two scarlet eyes were like two small lanterns in the dark night!
Not to mention the scorpion, which was bigger than she usually saw, crawled over with a sharp tail needle and clinged to Cher's shoes, almost scaring her out of a cold sweat!
Xue'er is not too timid, but unfortunately in the face of these hateful snakes, insects, rats and ants, it is inevitable that her heart will be frightened, her hands and feet will be weak, and she can't help but scream.
The scimitar in Zhong Limo's hand, it's okay to cut down trees to open the way, but he is a little powerless to deal with these things for a while, but he doesn't dare to let Xue'er get hurt, so he can only protect each other desperately!
Xue'er was still holding the Black Hawk in her arms, and she really couldn't spare her hands, and she didn't dare to put the Black Hawk aside, she was really afraid that when she turned around, the Black Hawk would only have a skeleton left!
While she was hiding, she said to Zhong Limo: "Sixth Highness, your national teacher, live in such a place?" ”
Zhong Limo's face was darker than the night around him, gloomy and gloomy, and he pursed his thin lips tightly, and he didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or anger.
He used the back of his hand-machete to hook off a hairball-like insect that landed on Xue'er's back, and then blew Xue'er's head, blowing off a small flying insect that alternates orange and black.
Xue'er was originally dressed as a servant in Ling Wangfu, and her hair was all tied up, but unfortunately, in order to avoid those insects, a lot of her hair was scattered, and her hair was scattered, and she looked so embarrassed!
Zhong Limo still has a scimitar for self-defense, but in addition to the four silver needles on her head, she only has the jade slip in her arms!
You can't let her use the lotus silver needle to prick those bugs, right? Even if he stabbed the other party to death, it was Xue'er herself who was disgusting.
Therefore, she had to hide behind Zhong Limo, protected by the other party, and at the same time began to mutter: No wonder Zhong Liyang said that the national teacher Luo Miaosi was chattering, and it was really not ordinary for a woman to live alone in this kind of place where snakes, insects, rats and ants are rampant!
Zhong Limo was also a little in a hurry, but he still answered Xue'er's question: "The national teacher lives here completely for cultivation. ”
"Practice?" Xue'er felt a chill in her heart, how can you practice in such a place, and practice with this disgusting poisonous insects?
Or is it that the poison of those witches is "cultivated" in this way?
Xue'er regretted a little, she should have seriously looked at the jade slip that had been handed over to her by the tribulation, instead of leaving it completely behind because she left Kongmeng Mountain and lost the support of the aura of heaven and earth!
After all, since the jade slip can record all kinds of spirit herbs and elixirs, it may also record all kinds of strange poisonous insects and poisons.
In that case, he is so passive, and he still has to owe Zhong Limo a favor, what kind of national teacher in Nanping should he beg? You're going to have to face off against a bunch of bugs here, and your legs go limp!
However, she could only think about it, and she had to continue to deal with those bugs.
If you can hide, if you can't hide, you can step on it with your feet, and Zhong Limo will pick it with a scimitar, shoot, and chop. The two of them continued to walk forward in this way, and they didn't know how many times they tripped over those vines along the way!
The clothes of the two men were cut by unknown jagged leaves, and even the skin was cut in some places, although the wound was not deep, it oozed blood beads, and it hurt hotly.
But the bugs here seem to be endless, avoiding what they see, and there are more and bigger bugs waiting for them behind!
The two of them were not embarrassed along the way, and finally walked some distance further, and Cher felt that the road under her feet seemed to be slowly rising, that is, they were walking towards a low mountain.
Finally, there were fewer insects, and the vines around them gradually decreased, and the two of them were able to breathe, and Xue'er couldn't help but speak again: "Your national teacher lives in such a place, what if there is an urgent matter to discuss and you need to send someone to invite her?" How much time should those poisonous insects on the road be delayed! ”
Zhong Limo's face was not very good-looking: "If you need to ask the national teacher to come forward, you will generally choose to go up the mountain during the day, and at the same time sprinkle a bottle of special medicinal powder made by the national teacher on your body, and those poisonous insects will retreat when they smell the smell......"
Xue'er couldn't help but roll her eyes, pouted and said, "Don't tell me, your dignified Sixth Prince, His Royal Highness King Ling, will not have that kind of insect repellent powder!" ”
Zhong Limo smiled bitterly: "Not really." ”
He sighed and explained: "That kind of medicinal powder, the national teacher will not configure a lot, at most the dosage of two people, it is still in the hands of my father." Every time someone comes, when they leave, the national teacher will give one or two more bottles for next use. ”
"Because you and I went up the mountain this time is a private matter, naturally we can't get insect repellent powder from my father, and I go up the mountain at night, so there will inevitably be more poisonous insects."
He looked at the embarrassed Xue'er, and the deep apology in his eyes covered up the trace of distress: "It's all because I was thoughtless, negligent for a while, and anxious to ask the national teacher to heal the divine bird, so I ......"
What Zhong Limo didn't say was that even if he thought of the danger of this trip, he couldn't get the special deworming powder, because those powders were now in the hands of the eldest prince!
And if he asks for the head of the eldest prince, he will inevitably be blackmailed by the other party to stand in line!
Therefore, after chasing his two brothers back, he did not take the opportunity to open his mouth to the national teacher Luo Miaosi, but waited for everyone to disperse and took Xue'er to Luo Miaosi's usual cultivation place.
"Your Highness doesn't have to blame yourself," Xue'er interrupted Zhong Limo, "Your Highness is grateful for what Xue'er has done." ”
In the dark night, Zhong Limo's eyes flashed a trace of imperceptible loss, even if they had been together for so long, even if the two of them had fought side by side to deal with those snakes, insects, rats and ants together, the attitude of the woman in front of him towards him was still polite and detached!
For a while, the bitterness spread from the bottom of my heart, and finally melted into the night.
The two of them continued to walk forward, but fortunately, at this time, the poisonous insects around them had begun to gradually become scarce, and they were finally able to rush normally.
Xue'er asked Zhong Limo: "Does that national teacher live alone?" Is there anyone around you who is waiting? Or you can pass it through. ”
Unexpectedly, Zhong Limo said: "It has been notified." ”
Xue'er was stunned, she and Zhong Limo had come all the way, except for those terrifying and disgusting poisonous insects, how could they ever see a person?
