Chapter 7: The Gift of the Wood (2)
Jiu Se was the first to drill out of the golden well, and did not experience time travel, returning to the underground palace of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty, which is also the hometown where it has survived for 1,200 years.
Then there was Qin Beiyang, who thought he would be a crested ibis or a crane, but nothing happened, like a mouse crawling out of the golden well.
He stood at the entrance of the hot cavern and pulled out Ah You's slender arm.
As soon as the Assassins' master came up, she drew her dagger and prepared to cut the ropes, causing Ogi to fall into the Well of Time once and for all.
Qin Beiyang stopped her: "Sister! A gentleman promises a thousand gold. ”
"I'm not a gentleman, your Confucius said - only women and villains are difficult to raise."
Hearing "Your Confucius", Qin Beiyang smiled dumbly: "I don't think women are difficult to raise." The grace of a drop of water is reciprocated by a spring. If it weren't for Xiao Mu falling from the sky, we would still be trapped under the golden well, so let's leave him alive. ”
"Leave him alive, and we will die on him sooner or later."
"But if we kill Xiaomu, how will we escape from this tomb? Nine colors can take us to the underground palace, but they may not be able to take us out of the underground palace. And this Rubik's Cube Tomb, in my opinion, in the whole world, only Xiaomu can come and go freely. ”
"Brother, can you remind me, this kid hasn't finished using it yet!"
So, Ah You put away the dagger and dragged Xiao Mu up.
The little tomb robber lay on the ground panting, glad that he was still alive, and picked up the Luoyang shovel on the ground. This tool has a peculiar shape, and Qin Beiyang firmly remembers it in his heart - this is not only a good guy for tomb robbers, but also a good helper for the future archaeological team.
Ah You picked him up and said, "Let's go!" ”
Sure enough, Xiao Mu opened the way in front of him, walked out of the tomb of Li Longqi, the king of Zhongnan County, and never encountered a fork in the road again, nor did he encounter various mysterious secret rooms, and the infinitely changing Rubik's Cube became a straight line, passing through the child's remains like a reckless corpse, and finally returned to the tomb entrance.
Nine deaths and one life, drill out of the tomb of the Tang Dynasty in Bailuyuan, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, has alternated day and night, and the new moon hangs high.
The sweaty and bloody horse with four hooves and the white horse ridden by Ah You are waiting for their respective masters by the ancient locust tree with their necks crooked.
The town tomb beast transformed again, turning into a young unicorn town tomb beast, and was about to spit out a glass fireball. Xiao Mu was so frightened that he fell to his knees and kowtowed to Qin Beiyang and Ah You to beg for mercy.
However, Xiao Mu has seen through Beiyang's mind and knows that he is kind in his heart and hates killing in his bones. If Xiao Mu was really to be executed, he would have died on the East China Sea Dharma Mountain four years ago.
But Ah You is different, don't look at it as just an eighteen-year-old girl, but as the master of the assassins, she really kills people without blinking. Xiao Mu secretly guessed that this seemingly weak girl must have experienced countless deaths and tribulations since she was a child.
"Ah You girl, when I was on the Dharma Mountain Island, I locked you underground, and I really had to do it as a last resort. If I fall into your hands again, either my life will be lost, or my life will be worse than death. Although Xiao Mu is a cheap life, an ant-like tomb robber, he doesn't want to be at the mercy of others for the rest of his life. "The ama told me that the trap is connected to the coast, and it will not trap people to death, and there is always a chance to escape. I didn't mean to put you to death. ”
"Hindsight." Ah You clutched the dagger and said, "Why should I believe your words? ”
"Beiyang, Ah You, you will come in handy for me in the end. If you kill me now, you will regret it later. ”
After hesitating again and again, Ah You gave in, withdrew the dagger, and hid behind Qin Beiyang's broad shoulders, the moonlight illuminated his smooth pectoralis major muscles, and the Hetian jade pendant seemed to be dripping with blood.
Xiao Mu swallowed his saliva, and knelt down and kowtowed again: "Thank you for not killing!" ”
He picked up the Luoyang shovel on his back and lowered his head into the dark night of Bailuyuan, like a nocturnal weasel......
"Perhaps, he is the man destined to become the tomb robber?"
Standing in front of the tomb of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Beiyang muttered to himself, thinking about whether he was a woman's kindness? Do you want to go back to the mountains? Is the farmer with the snake?
There was a sneer on the corner of Ah You's mouth, and when Qin Beiyang lowered his head and was distracted, he reached out and pulled out the cross bow from his back, aimed at Xiao Mu's back and pulled the trigger, shooting a powerful steel arrow.
"Don't ......"
Qin Beiyang's blocking was half a beat, and the steel arrow had pierced through the dark night of Bailuyuan, whistling through Xiao Mu's back.
In the moonlight, fifty paces away, I saw him fall down with a muffled grunt.
"Sister Ayou! How did you do treachery, and you hurt people with an arrow? ”
"Brother......" Ah You shook his head with a wry smile, and returned the crossbow of the One-Eyed Pyramid to Qin Beiyang, "You, what a one-tendon craftsman, too pedantic." ”
"Hey......"
Qin Beiyang quickly rushed to Xiao Mu's side. Surprisingly, the steel arrow did not pierce his vest, but stuck in his thigh, but blood was also pouring out.
The man who was about to become the tomb robber was still alive, gritting his teeth and gasping violently - Xu Fu's elixir of immortality could not guarantee that he would not be injured, let alone avoid the disaster of blood and light.
"Sister Ayou, did you do it on purpose?"
Qin Beiyang turned his head and stared at Ah You in the moonlight, although the girl in front of him was only eighteen years old, she was the master of the assassins, and it was absolutely impossible for this arrow to miss.
"Yes, I changed my mind, I don't want to kill Xiaomu, but I can't let him go either."
"What the hell do you want?"
Ah You smiled faintly, walked up, and stepped on Xiao Mu's squirming back: "I suddenly found out that he was a gift from God. ”
With that, she took out a packet of medicinal powder from her arms, pinched Xiao Mu's nose and forcibly poured it into it amid his struggles and screams.
After a few moments, Xiao Mu passed out honestly.
Qin Beiyang touched his breathing pulse, and Ah You said in a low voice: "Don't worry, he can't die." This guy slipped out of our hands several times. Only in this way can we ensure that he does not run away. ”
Illuminated by the glass fireball spit out by Nine Colors, Ah You tore open Xiao Mu's pants and simply pulled out the steel arrow. When the black blood flowed wildly, the eighteen-year-old girl did not even blink a brow, skillfully cleaned Xiaomu's wounds, used small tweezers to pull out the crumbs of the cloth, carefully applied the golden medicine, and bandaged it firmly. From a nearby excavated grave, she found two complete and sturdy coffin boards and made them into a pair of splints that fastened to the sides of her thighs...... The same is true for Western surgeons.
Although this arrow hurt Xiaomu's thigh bone, as long as the injury is properly healed, it will not fall disabled and become lame.
"Brother, do me a favor."
At Ah You's request, Qin Beiyang used his craftsman skills to make a simple stretcher bed, and tied Xiao Mu to the stretcher, especially his injured leg, which was always in a straight state.
They then tied the log to the side of the white horse's body with a stretcher to ensure that his injured leg was not affected by the bumps.
After working for a long time, Ah You patted the saddle of the white horse and let out a long breath: "Brother, I understand as well as you - Xiao Mu, the guy who kills a thousand knives, is the key to the Bailuyuan Rubik's Cube Tomb." ”
"The little prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Longqi, the king of Zhongnan County, who was once buried in Bailuyuan, is the key to opening Wu Zetian's Qianling. So who is the key to unlocking Li Longqi? ”
Ah You stared straight into Qin Beiyang's eyes, and saw him bow his head shyly: "Me? Am I the key of the keys? ”
"Well, besides you, there's also Xiaomu." She walked around Qin Beiyang's side, "Xiao Mu can't die, otherwise, this key will be broken, and he must keep his life and open the door for us in the future." ”
"Which door?"
"Under the golden well, the door of the seal."
Under the moonlight, Ah You replied neatly, thinking that there were more secrets in her little head that Qin Beiyang didn't know.
