Chapter 454: The Mystery of the Abyss
Chapter 454: Abyss Mystery
The two entered the house, but saw that although the stone house was simple, there were several houses separated from it.
In the middle is a simple living room with a wooden chair and table.
"Look at this house, it's very old, I think it was built by that guy back then." Tuoba looked at the quaint stone house road.
Gu Qingcheng nodded and checked the hall, there was nothing special.
There is a wooden bed in the room on the left, and the so-called wooden bed is a few planks of wood laid on the stone.
However, there was no bedding on the wooden bed, only a simple wooden pillow.
No matter how simple it is, it is obvious that it is a bedroom.
They examined it carefully, and there was nothing in the bedroom except for a rudimentary bed.
Gu Tingcheng just looked at the simple living room, and now when he saw the simple bedroom, he sighed:
"I don't know how long the King of the River Stream stayed in this ghost place before he escaped.
was originally a noble prince, but he survived in such a place, which shows how hard he was at that time! ”
"It's all his own fault, and he has nothing to do with others!" Tuoba also said sadly.
They went to the room next to the bedroom.
There is a stone-enclosed stone house, apparently because the owner of the place was afraid that he would fall into the belly of the beast after his death, so he moved stones to pile it up as a tomb before he died.
There are obvious loosening places in the stone, perhaps Tuoba Yuan had moved it at the beginning.
Tuoba also followed the place where he had moved, and took Gu Qingcheng into it.
There are indeed a pair of bones on the ground inside, and I think they belong to the servants.
Everything else is empty.
"The bones of the servants have been around for hundreds of years." Gu Qingcheng said, "Sure enough, it is the Poison King, and even his own bones can be preserved for hundreds of years without corruption." ”
Tuoba went over and gently flicked the bone with his sword, and the bone suddenly turned into powder, and the smell was disgusting.
Gu Qingcheng picked up the skeleton with Tuoba with his sword, and when the skeleton was about to turn into powder and float close to them, he quickly covered Tuoba's mouth and nose and pulled him out quickly.
As a result, Tuoba's nose had already inhaled a little smell, and his lips immediately turned black and his nose began to bleed.
Gu Qingcheng immediately pricked his finger and asked Tuoba to suck his own blood, and Tuoba returned to normal.
Tuoba was shocked: "That servant is so poisonous, hundreds of years later, his bones can still kill!" ”
"The name of the Poison King is indeed worthy of its name!" Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but be shocked.
Then he said:
"That servant must be afraid that he will fall into the belly of the beast after he dies, and before he died, he took the medicine that snakes, insects, and beasts dare not approach, and even the bones can kill people invisibly."
"Fortunately, this person died early, otherwise this person's evil would be worse than that of the King of the River Stream!" Tuoba said fiercely.
Gu Tingcheng looked at the empty stone tomb and sighed again:
"Most of the secret recipes for making poison have been obtained by the King of Hestream, otherwise nothing will be discovered."
They walked to the right side of the house, where there was what appeared to be a utility room, piled up with some red maple leaves and a messy pile of stones.
Beyond that, there is a kitchen, the so-called kitchen, which is just a simple stone stove piled up with a few stones piled up, and a stone nest is placed on it.
There are some dry branches and leaves next to the stone stove, and there is a wooden shelf against the wall where some wooden chopsticks and stone bowls are placed.
In the entire stone house, no antidote to a woman's heart was found, let alone any peerless poison refining books.
Gu Tingcheng said disappointedly: "Maybe when the King of Hejian left the ghost and saw the sorrow, he took those books out." ”
"It's clear at a glance at this stone house, and it can't hide any secrets. Perhaps, he really took everything out. Tuoba also nodded.
"But there is no antidote here, so why does he still tell me that he is worried? Didn't he ask me to come here, but really meant to be soapless? Gu Qingcheng frowned.
Immediately, he shook his head and sighed and muttered:
"I thought he had repentance for the sake of his ancestors, and he said the antidote!"
When they left the kitchen and passed by the utility room again, Gu Qingcheng stopped, looked at the red maple leaves inside, and chuckled:
"This river stream king is really, since he took the maple leaf to start the fire, he should put it in the kitchen.
There is a pile of firewood in the kitchen, and another pile here. Isn't it a mess that spoils a room? ”
Tuoba smiled:
"What is called a man, a man is dirty. Do you think men are as attentive as women?
Besides, this is a hell of a ghost, and you will die anytime and anywhere, who cares if you spoil the room or not! ”
"That's right."
They walked out of the stone house, Gu Qingcheng looked at the broken red maple tree, and then looked at the stream that had long frozen at the bottom of the cliff.
There was a narrow outlet, and if it weren't for the freezing at the moment, the streams would have flowed out slowly.
She looked at the stream and wondered:
"Tuoba, I always think that the King of Hejian is not such a dirty person, you can see that he is thoughtful when you look at the Nine Secluded Mansions he arranged.
The kitchen can put firewood, why did he put the maple leaves in a room and pile up some useless stones.
And no matter how down-and-out he is, he is also a prince, at least he should leave a room for a study, not a miscellaneous firewood room, right? ”
Tuoba laughs:
"Hahaha...... Falling in such a ghost place, even the emperor wouldn't think about any study, right? ”
"He should have gotten the secret recipe for refining poison from the devil, which shows that he had books to study at that time and needed a study.
Otherwise, he was born in the royal family, how could he have these vicious things. ”
Gu Chengcheng pondered and turned back to the stone house.
Entering the stone house, he walked into the utility room, and shook his head again:
"Pile up maple leaves, just maple leaves, how can you put a bunch of stones. This fire-permeable leaf is put with a stone, it is really a bull's head and a horse's mouth! ”
“…… Be far from the mark? Tuoba muttered.
When he heard Gu Chengcheng's words, he followed up, and said strangely:
"The more unreasonable things are, the more likely they are to have some secrets."
They looked at each other.
Gu Qingcheng squatted down and picked up those red maple leaves to look at them carefully.
Suddenly, she cried out and held up the red maple leaf to Tuoba:
"Tuoba, look, there's a word on it!"
"Words?" Tuoba poked his head over, "There are still long words on the maple leaf?" ”
"It's not a long word, it should be a word that has been stabbed out." Gu Tingcheng Road.
They looked at almost all the maple leaves.
There is a word on each maple leaf, and the two of them arrange the maple leaves one by one.
Gu Qingcheng pointed to those maple leaves in surprise and said:
"Look, these maple leaves are arranged together: I'm at the bottom of the valley of ghosts, save me, and give me my life."
Gu Tingcheng looked at the other maple leaves and said:
"The others are almost tattooed with such words, I think that the king of Hejian tattooed a lot of such words back then, and they were passed out."
Tuoba nodded:
"That's how the King of Hejian tattooed on the maple leaf back then, and someone rescued him. But how can these maple leaves be passed on, can they make the maple leaves fly? ”
Gu Tingcheng thought of the stream outside.
"Do you remember the stream outside? Now, although the stream freezes, when it does not freeze, it flows into the crevices of the cliffs.
Thinking that Tuoba Yuan had stabbed a lot of such red maple leaves back then, he put these eye-catching red maple leaves into the stream, flowed out through the cracks in the cliff, and finally let people find them, and then someone rescued him.
And these are the remaining maple leaves, and since he can escape, there is no need to deal with them. ”
"If you find a stream on this north top, you will have to find it by hunters who often go into the mountains to hunt, or woodcutters." Tuoba groaned.
"You don't have to be a hunter to find out, don't you often like to go into the mountains to hunt?" Gu Qingcheng smiled, "He also carefully taught me how to survive PUBG." ”
"My father and I have always liked to go to the vicinity of Taiheng Mountain, but we rarely go to the north peak.
The second emperor's uncle, Tuoba Han, likes to go to the southern foothills, but Tuoba Yu likes to go to the north to hunt since he was a child. ”
Gu Tingcheng listened to Tuoba's words and was relieved at the moment.
No wonder he likes to go to the North Summit since he was a child, it turned out that he came to the North Summit to find his father, and finally let him find his father and rescue him.
She knew these reasons in her heart, but she had to hide it from Tuoba, and her face was a little stiff.
"It turns out that you princes still have their own territories for hunting among themselves."
"It's not a specific place, it's just that since I know that others like to go there, I won't join in the fun."
Gu Tingcheng took those maple leaves, suddenly remembered something, and suddenly said:
"No wonder in the cold palace, I once heard the king of Hejian say to An Lingtina, if it weren't for her kindness when she was a child, she would have been angry with her ancestors, even if she lit the sky lantern, she wouldn't be able to relieve her hatred, so that's the case!"
“…… Anlingtina? Tuoba asked, frowning.
"Anlingtina once told me that when I was a child, I went hunting with Tuoba Yu to the north peak, and I saw a red maple leaf with words, and I thought it was novel.
I think that the king of the river stream has tattooed a lot of these words, and floated out along the slit of the stream outside.
Let her pick it up, she rescued the King of the River Stream, and instead became the puppet of the King of the River Stream. ”
"Anlingtina and Tuoba Yu came here to hunt, and they still see these maple leaves?" Tuoba looked at Gu Qingcheng suspiciously, "Could it be that the two of them rescued the King of the River Stream?" ”
Gu Qingcheng had already thought of who would save the king of the river stream.
It's just that if she leaks this matter, His Majesty will immediately cut him down.
Commitment is heavier than the mountain, Tuoba Yuan trusts her, and only then does he tell her such a big secret, and she can't live up to the trust of others.
Even if he's a great villain.
Those who hate will have pity.
Moreover, if she divulged the secret, she would be ashamed of her ancestors.
She said ambiguously:
"It should have been Anlingtina who rescued him, otherwise she wouldn't be so close to the Ghost King.
That's it, now that the king of the river stream is dead, Anlingtina is also dying.
No matter who will save the king of the river stream in the first place, these grievances and grievances have been entangled for decades, and there are too many casualties, so this matter will end here, and don't track it down. ”
Gu Qingcheng's tone was undeniable.
Tuoba nodded silently and didn't ask any further.
Tuoba casually flipped the stones on the ground, and suddenly said:
"Allure, these stones, one side is rough, one side is flat, but they were cut flat by someone and carved the words."
Before, the stones were put on the flat side, so they immediately thought they were ordinary stones.
Gu Qingcheng leaned over to look at the stone, the oval stone, one side of which was cut flat by a sharp blade.
I saw that it was crookedly engraved:
How to get you up.
The other, also a stone that had been cut flat and larger by a sharp blade, was inscribed:
The Nether Sword sharpens iron like clay, and I hope it can help you.
Tuoba looked at the stone and muttered:
"Grandpa Huang is a good sword, one after another, he has collected almost all the famous swords in the world, and the Netherworld Sword is one of them.
Although this sword is sharpened like clay, it is too aggressive, and the sword qi can hurt people invisibly within ten steps, and if you are not careful, the person holding the sword will also be counterattacked.
The imperial grandfather thought it was too evil, so he sealed it in the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
I heard that it suddenly disappeared seventeen years ago, and it turned out that it was stolen and given to the king of the river stream. ”
After a pause, Tuoba said:
"Seventeen years ago, the Nether Sword was stolen, and the King of the River Stream was defeated twenty years ago.
In other words, the king of the river stream survived here for three years before he was rescued.
Then he began to establish the Nine Secluded Underground Mansion in the Imperial City.
But when he rescued the King of the River Stream, didn't he need to put something like a soft vine or a rope, and what was the use of the Nether Sword? ”
Gu Qingcheng said in his heart, when the King of the River Stream was beaten down, the child was only three or four years old, and when he stole the Netherworld Sword, he was only a five or six-year-old child.
It's hard for him to save his father's heart.
Then Tuoba frowned and pondered:
"Ordinary people write, if they don't know each other, they only use the usual you, and this person actually uses this you word.
It can be seen that they have great respect for the king of the river stream, do they know each other? Or is it the old ministry of the River Stream King? ”
Gu Qingcheng said in his heart that before the kid rescued the King of the River Stream, he already knew the relationship between the King of the River Stream and him, no wonder he came to the north to hunt since he was a child.
They also know how to steal the Netherworld Sword, they are so thoughtful at a young age, they are really father and son.
The smile on Gu Qingcheng's face was a little stiff, and he didn't dare to look at Tuoba, he only looked at those stones and said:
"That person can steal the Netherworld Sword in the palace, which shows that he is good at martial arts, or he is really the old department of the King of Hejian.
He has always been loyal to the king of the river stream, and the king of the river stream was killed and the ghost was sad, and he often came here to pay his respects, so he saw the news that the king of the river stream had spread.
No matter who that man is, when the king of the river stream dies, he will not be able to do evil. ”
Tuoba looked at Gu Qingcheng steadily, and his eyes became more and more tender.
After a while, he smiled slightly:
"That's it, after all, the king of Hejian is the grandson of the old ancestor, and he is also dying so miserably now.
I just hope that these cannibalistic things will not happen again, so let everything go. ”
Gu Qingcheng saw that Tuoba really didn't pursue it, so he raised his eyes to look at him with relief, and the smile on his face was natural.
He pulled Gu Qingcheng and walked out: "Let's go back." ”
Outside, Tuoba looked at the two tigers and couldn't help sighing:
"Your peach blossom is so sharp, it only pricked its skin a little, it can be seen that these two tigers have lived for an unknown number of years!"
Gu Qingcheng looked at the two dead tigers and said regretfully:
"Tuoba, this tiger is full of treasures, it's really a pity to lose it here."
"How can you drop them, don't say that they are all treasures, in this world, it is already a great hero to be able to kill a tiger, and if you kill two tigers, you are the real invincible king."
Tuoba looked at the tiger road.
He stroked the tiger's fur and said with a smile:
"Just rewarding the soldiers with these tiger meat can bring everyone to their hearts."
"Yes, bring them back, this tiger bone soaked in wine is also beneficial to His Majesty's rheumatism and bone pain." Gu Tingcheng nodded.
Tuoba carried a tiger on his shoulder.
"I'll just wait a minute!"
Tuoba was carrying a thousand-pound tiger alone, and he also felt quite difficult.
They went back to the meteorite.
Zhan Ying and the others fell into the abyss from Tuoba, and Lao Jin transmitted the message of their safety.
Zhan Ying and the others re-launched the hunters to search for soft vines, and then re-braided the thick rope of the cow's tendons, and it would not break with four horses.
At this moment the soft vine has been hung down, and a strip of cloth has been attached, which reads:
Your Highness, if you want to pull you up, shake the soft vines.
Tuoba first tied the tiger with soft rattan, and then vigorously pulled the soft rattan so that the people above could pull the tiger up first.
The guards above saw that the objects they pulled up were so heavy, and they couldn't care so much, so everyone shouted and pulled them together.
When the thing came up, it was found to be a tiger, and everyone was surprised and delighted.
They pulled another tiger up.
When they pulled the tiger up, Gu Qingcheng reluctantly looked at the meteorite that used to be a star.
Suddenly, I saw a meteorite somewhere, as if someone had chopped a large piece with a sharp blade.
She walked over, looked at the incision, and muttered:
"Could it be that the king of the river stream cut a meteorite before leaving?"
"What is he doing here, something that looks harder than Darkiron?"
Tuoba said, rubbing his chin.
Gu Tingcheng looked at the stones floating on the meteorite, and finally suddenly said:
"Tuoba, I know why the King of the River Stream asked someone else to give him a sharp blade in the first place, so he can go up."
Tuoba looked at Gu Qingcheng with some confusion, and suddenly couldn't understand it.
"The martial arts of the King of Hejian are actually on par with you, but he can fly, and the few of you together are only a tie with him." Gu Tingcheng Road.
Tuoba looked at what was suspended on the meteorite, and finally understood.
Gu Tingcheng continued:
At that time, he knew that these meteorites could make people fly, so he didn't ask for any rope soft vine.
All he needed was a sword that was as sharp as clay, and he split the meteorite down, and he could fly up with it in his arms. ”
Tuoba also nodded with an epiphany:
"No wonder his light skills are so brilliant that he can fly around.
Although he didn't hold the meteorite, he cut a piece of the meteorite and put it on the sole of his shoe, and he was able to fly! ”
"That's right! That day I saw him turn into blood, and there was something like a piece of iron under the soles of his shoes, which could not be dissolved by the bone-eating water.
Just because he stepped on it so deeply, the iron was buried in the snow, and we didn't look at what was under the bloody water for a while! ”
Gu Qingcheng also said excitedly.
Tuoba then walked over and slashed a meteorite with his Red Sky Sword.
Holding the meteorite, you can fly around, fly to the place where you just fought the tiger, and fly back again.
Both of them were very excited, and Tuoba cut two more meteorites slightly smaller than his boots, put them in his boots, and took off again.
It can still come and go freely.
Tuoba said excitedly:
"It turns out that the King of the River Stream flies like this! I'm going to have to split some more and go back and reward those soldiers!" ”
Gu Qingcheng looked at the giant meteorite and shook his head silently:
"Tuoba, we are here to see the ghosts, especially this meteorite, it is still not appropriate to publicize it.
Otherwise, everyone thinks that the meteorite is a treasure and comes to fight for it, and I don't know how many people will die in the ghosts.
When a good man gets it, that's it.
If all the bad guys cut out these meteorites to do evil, the whole world will be in turmoil.
If you want to reward some of your confidants, you can do it, but you have to tell them to keep it a secret and not to divulge it. ”
"It's still a thoughtful lady! If the world knows that there are meteorites that can make people fly, and they don't care about life and death, the whole Great Wei and even the world will be in chaos. ”
Tuoba also bowed his head.
Tuoba said and waved his sword, and then chopped down a few more meteorites, and Gu Qingcheng followed.
Looking at the broken powder that was chopped down by the Chixiao Sword, he reached out and touched it, and immediately cut the skin and bleed out.
Tuoba hurriedly and carefully bandaged her, and said in shock:
"This little powder can hurt people, and the news about this meteorite really can't be leaked casually."
Gu Qingcheng was shocked and said:
"This meteorite is too hard, if it weren't for the Celestial Sword and the Nether Sword, which are divine weapons, it really wouldn't have been able to split. No wonder the king of the river stream asked someone to give him the sharpest sword. ”
Gu Qingcheng took the cloth and carefully wrapped a few meteorites.
The two of them each carried a few meteorites and flew up the cliff smoothly.
Everyone saw that the King of Gaoyang and the Lord of Anping not only did not die, but also flew up.
Although the hearts of the guards who had been hanging fell, they all looked at them dumbfounded.
After Feihong Feiyan was frightened, he pounced on Gu Tingcheng and hugged Gu Tingcheng tightly.
The two cried excitedly:
"County Lord, you're finally back! ……”
"Okay, okay, it's okay. Don't worry. Gu Qingcheng smiled lightly.
"County Lord, don't you know, when King Gaoyang chased you down, we all thought that you were in a catastrophe, and we also wanted to follow you." Fei Hong cried.
"If we hadn't stopped them, these two girls would have really jumped." Zhan Ying's heart palpitated.
Ling Yun also burst into tears and said:
"We originally wanted to share life and death with His Highness, but we just thought about whether His Highness and the county lord Jiren would have a miracle. It turns out that God blesses a good person, and he lives in a desperate situation! ”
The geese cried even more, tears flowing:
"It's really touching and heartfelt. King Gaoyang's love for our county lord is really unprecedented. I was so scared of my liver. ”
Gu Qingcheng smiled: "You have the greatest courage, and there are things that can scare you?" ”
"Of course, I ...... No matter how bold I am, but I'm afraid of heights, so His Royal Highness's desperate jumping down, I admire the slave and maid so much. ”
The flying geese wiped their tears and looked at Tuoba with admiration.
Tuoba knew that everyone was worried, and he also knew that they had too many doubts in their hearts, and he didn't explain much.
Tell them carefully:
"Today, we are not allowed to leak a word of the things that are sad and sorrowful.
Those tigers were pulled back, and it cannot be said that they were caught under the ghosts, so it is said that this king came to Tianzi Mountain to prepare the imperial tomb for his father and hunted them on this mountain. ”
Everyone gave up their orders.
Zhan Ying and Ling Yun looked at the two tigers, and they were all overjoyed.
Tuoba said to everyone: "Tonight, the big guy will eat tiger meat!" ”
"Good! ......" the guards cheered loudly.
Tuoba beat two tigers back, the tiger skin was peeled off, and one tiger meat was shared with the imperial grandfather and the ministers.
The other was sent to the barracks, where everyone from his guards to generals and even soldiers could enjoy it.
Even if everyone can drink a sip of tiger soup, they are all excited.
The military camp celebrated greatly, and Tuoba was rumored to be the real hero of the god of war of the Great Wei for a while.
