Chapter 81 The bottom of Po Yuan Lake
Kou Shu shook her head and said to Bai Yao, "Since you told me the whereabouts of the Hundred Ghost Heavenly Eye, I will also keep my promise. Yan Yi and Yuan Ming both stayed, and when the matter was over, you would return to Dadu together. β
The few of them returned to the nearby town together, and Kou Shu and Yan and the others parted ways.
Looking at Kou Shu's distant back, Yan Yi's eyebrows had a worry that could not be dissolved, and while no one was paying attention, he walked to the window and secretly released a signal to Song Jinyan.
When I was a child in the Kou family, my father forced himself to practice every day, but he practiced a good body of legs and feet, but now that he has been in the deep palace for many years, Kou Shu has only been gone for a long time, and he feels a little exhausted, and his legs are becoming more and more weak.
When I arrived in the village near Poyuan Lake, it was already three days later. Kou Shu found a tavern and stayed first.
The tavern maid came to fetch water for himself, and Kou Shu saw it and asked casually: "Trouble the little brother, have you heard of Po Yuan Lake?" β
The little guy turned his head and looked very surprised: "This girl, are you going to Poyuan Lake?" β
Kou Shu smiled, with a harmless expression on her face, and said, "Not really, it's just that my aunt originally lived here, and when she gossiped with her aunt, she heard about this place, and she was a little curious." β
The little guy nodded, looked carefully left and right for a while, and then lowered his voice and said: "Girl, I kindly remind you that this Poyuan Lake is a ghost lake, and few people who go in it can come out, and even if they do, they are all frightened, and they no longer dare to say what happened in the lake." Here, every household is terrified of the lake, and I advise you not to mention it again. β
"What's so special about this lake?" Kou Shu was puzzled, "I heard my aunt say that the lake has a different scenery. β
"Phewβwhat a view!" The little guy spat on the ground and said, "It's just a lake, how beautiful can it be, as for losing your life?" Seeing Kou Shu's curious expression, the little girl stepped forward and said: "Girl, don't be curious to go to that place, it's better if it's summer, but now in winter, the lake is biting, and there is no one there, desolate and tight." β
Kou Shu smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything more. Thinking carefully in his heart, if this is the case, it is indeed very likely that the Hundred Ghost Heavenly Eye is there.
Early the next morning, Kou Shu set off for Poyuan Lake. To get to Po Yuan Lake, you need to bypass the whole village, climb over a hillside, an endless blue lake appears in front of Kou Shu's eyes, the lake water is clear, but because it is extremely deep, you can only see the faint blue-green like a ghost, which is breathtaking.
Kou Shu walked forward slowly, only to see a fallen leaf slowly falling into the lake, but instead of floating on the water, it fell into the lake like a stone. Kou Shu couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart when she saw it, and she was even more solemn in her heart.
Kou Shu looked around, there was silence and desertion. Bai Yao said that the hundred ghost heavenly eyes like cold and yin, so they must be in a place where the sun can't shine, Kou Shu thought as she walked towards the mouth of a black cave.
The water at the mouth of the cave was almost as deep as Kou Shu's waist, and he lit the torch in his hand, and Kou Shu struggled forward.
A sound suddenly came out of the cave, Kou Shu raised the torch and shone towards the cave wall, only to see that the cave wall was densely covered with black bats, fanning ghostly wings, which looked very infiltrating.
From time to time, a drop or two of water slowly drip down from the roof of the cave, creating ripples on the water surface, which makes people feel uneasy. Kou Shu calmed her mind and continued to walk forward.
"Ahh
Kou Shu was surprised, and turned his head back to look, but it was Song Jinyan looking at him with a straight face: "Your Majesty ......"
Song Jinyan's voice sounded coldly: "Yan Yi sent me a message, saying that you came to Poyuan Lake alone, the terrain of Poyuan Lake is dangerous, I don't feel at ease, so come and have a look." β
A trace of warmth flashed in Kou Shu's eyes quickly and disappeared, and she spoke: "There is a hundred ghost heavenly eyes at the bottom of Poyuan Lake, but I don't know where it is. β
Song Jinyan nodded and said, "The Hundred Ghost Heavenly Eyes like Yin, so it must be in the depths of the cave." The queen will go with me to see it. β
Kou Shu nodded and followed Song Jinyan to the depths of the cave.
The water was getting deeper and deeper, almost reaching Kou Shu's chest, Song Jinyan slightly hugged Kou Shu's waist and helped Kou Shu to walk forward. After walking a few more steps, I turned a narrow slit, and there was not a drop of water on the ground, and it suddenly became clear.
Song Jinyan looked around and said, "The terrain here is quite high, it should be a dry cave, and the water can't come up." Let's continue to look inside. β
The two of them took a few steps forward, but suddenly there was a strange sound of wind in the originally silent cave.
"There should be a vent here," Song Jinyan said, "There is a junction between dry and wet here, and there is ventilation, and the breath is damp and cold, it should be the most favorite of the Hundred Ghost Heavenly Eye-" Song Jinyan's voice suddenly stopped, and a pair of eyes stared closely behind Kou Shu.
Kou Shu turned her head in confusion, and by the light of a little torch, a pale grass swayed in the wind in the crack of the stone, which looked particularly eye-catching. A drop of water fell on Kou Shu's shoulder, and there was a feeling of dampness and coolness.
Slowly approaching, looking at the plant in the crack of the stone, Kou Shu's hanging heart slowly let go - the Hundred Ghost Heavenly Eye was finally found.
The two walked out of the cave, Kou Shu was in a good mood, and now only the Sun Demon Lotus herb was left and had not yet been found. I couldn't help but think about how to find the Sun Demon Lotus.
Song Jinyan looked around, saw the changing expression on Kou Shu's face, and said lightly: "The queen will go back with me," After a pause, Song Jinyan continued: "The end of the year is coming, and there are still many things in the palace that need to be presided over by the queen. The matter of Tiantong Gu is not in a hurry. β
Kou Shu nodded, thinking of Bai Yao, and told Song Jinyan everything that happened on the Tianshan Mountain.
After listening to this, Song Jinyan looked at Kou Shu with a smile: "The queen still thinks that Kou Yunwu is wronged?" β
"It's nature!" Kou Shu's eyes rolled and said firmly: "Does the emperor still remember the March period?" β
Song Jinyan nodded: "I agreed with you that day to find the Hundred Ghost Heavenly Eye and the Sun Demon Lotus in three months, and now that the Hundred Ghost Heavenly Eye has been found, if you can find the Sun Demon Lotus in the remaining time, I will promise you one thing." β
A confident smile flashed in Kou Shu's eyes: "Okay, a word is decided, the concubine will temporarily return to the palace with the emperor, and when the matter of the new year is dealt with, she will give the demon lotus both hands that day." β
