Chapter 6 Hidden Secrets

The medicine gourd and the division stayed at the inn near the Stara Mountains for a few days in a row, and the medicine gourd that had originally planned to go up the mountain the next day to see what was going on changed their plans temporarily. Because he observed that the main altar of the Xiling Sect was sending an unusual signal, as if something special had happened.

The Medicine Gourd had never despised the Xiling Sect, after all, a single Bright Moon Saintess was his immeasurably strong opponent, not to mention the hidden masters in the Holy Altar. He and Shizhong are here to find out the news, not to find people desperately, so they can't joke with their lives.

Shizhong has been waiting for the instructions of the medicine gourd, he is not a person who will enjoy the blessings, he has been idle for a few days, and the skeleton of his body is about to disperse. However, he did not have a deep understanding of the Xiling Sect, and he was afraid that rash action would lead to consequences that he could not resist. Although he received the news from Chang Hui and learned that Liu Ye had returned to Wusun safely, he was still uneasy, fearing that the Wusun royal family would change again.

Jun Sumi was not lightly ill this time, and he couldn't even participate in the early dynasty, although the royal family tried every means to block the illness, but those who were more concerned about Wusun already knew this fact. According to the rules of the Wusun royal family, Jun Sumi's heir Ni Mi will be the next Kun Mo, except for Ni Mi's biological mother Xu Qige, Jun Sumi's women must belong to him, including the right wife Liu Ye.

Such chaos and incestine things are unimaginable to the Han people, but in the Western Regions, especially the royal families, they are accustomed to it. In any case, the division could not let Liu Ye fall victim to being ridiculed, and in order to avoid this from happening, assisting Weng Guimi to become king was the fastest and most effective way.

King Zuoxian, Weng Guimi! If he could, Shizhong didn't want to mention him at all, but at present, it seems that there is no better way to stop this chaos, Lun! If Liu Ye can accept Weng Guimi again, then what position does he have against it? All he wanted was for her to be happy! But if she chooses to compromise, what should he do?

Shizhong thinks about these questions almost every day, and he wants to ask Liu Ye face to face, between national righteousness and personal feelings, can she really give up herself? Weng Guimi was originally the most suitable candidate, but he failed her, and the rift relationship can really be restored to the original state?

The so-called perfection has always been relative, how can there be perfect things in the world! can not only subdue Wusun as he wishes, but also take into account his personal feelings, and stay with his sweetheart for a long time, God will obviously not be extraordinarily kind to someone! Princess, princess, what can I do for you!

"Knock knock knock......" Hearing the knock on the door, Shizhong hurriedly got up to answer the door, and saw that it was a medicine gourd, and couldn't help but be happy.

"Old gourd, now is the time, let's go up the mountain......" Shi Zhong can't do something, no matter how much he gains, it's better than waiting.

"Hey, don't worry, don't worry!" The medicine gourd pushed him back into the house, closed the door casually, walked to the windowsill, and pointed to the Stara Mountain opposite, "Well, you see, in which direction is the smoke drifting today?" ”

Shi Zhong didn't understand what he wanted to say, so he reluctantly leaned over to look at it and said, "It also depends on the direction of the wind, the east wind blows, and the smoke will naturally drift to the west." ”

Hearing his impatient tone, the medicine gourd laughed, patted him on the shoulder, sat down and said: "Those who have achieved great things, you must be able to save your qi, this hasn't stopped for a few days, I see that you are so anxious that you can't sit still." ”

Shizhong made no secret of his anxiety: "Yes, I am in a hurry. Old gourd, you should also know that the situation on Wusun's side is not optimistic, and Jun Sumi may choke his breath at any time, if the elders announce that Nimi will succeed to the throne, it will be too late at that time. ”

"What's there, who should succeed to the throne, it's just a child, what is there to worry about." The medicine gourd rolled his eyes and yawned disapprovingly.

"But how can you not worry about the princess's reputation?" Shizhong finally understood what it meant to not talk about speculation for more than half a sentence, and he really didn't want to discuss it with the medicine gourd anymore, so he either went up the mountain to the Xiling Sect General Altar, or returned to Wusun and returned to Liu Ye. The situation is so urgent right now, what's the point of staying here?

"What? It seems that you want the princess to be with that Zuoxian King! Ha, it turns out that you are quite generous! The medicine gourd did not shy away from mocking Shizhong.

Shi Zhong was speechless, spread his hands, and shook his head: "Then what do you want me to do?" Watching the princess remarry the ten-year-old mud? Being humiliated by a muddy mother and son all day long? If you were me, would you be able to tolerate this? ”

"I'm not you, I can't understand your feelings." Yao Hulu answered honestly, lying lazily on the table, supporting his chin with one hand, "If I were you, I wouldn't care so much bullshit rules, and I wouldn't care what her identity was, if I like it, I like it, take her away and let her be my woman." Hmph, whether it's a big man or a Wusun, they can fight if they like to fight, so I don't care. Anyway, we are all just chess pieces, no one cares whether we live or die, what's wrong with being selfish! ”

Shi Zhong was stunned, pondering his words carefully, and actually had an urge to agree. What's so bad about being selfish? People may not have an afterlife when they live in the world, just a few decades, why not make yourself happier!

Sensing his vacillation, Shizhong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's good to be unrestrained, but you have to be responsible, otherwise, you will be happy for a while and guilty for life." Even if I am willing to be a sinner for the ages, I can't leave a stigma on the princess. Besides, I know the princess, she will not turn her back on the big man. ”

The medicine gourd stared at him for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh: "So I said that you are all brainless, one or two are like this, one way to the end, regardless of whether there are traps or not." Good, good, good, you are all heroes with a sense of responsibility, bearing the great righteousness of the nation, and would rather sacrifice yourself than bow your head and compromise. When I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything......"

Shi Zhongchang breathed a sigh of relief, it was so dangerous, just now for a moment, he really planned to take Liu Ye away from the worldly strife. But where is his position to do so? He's just a guard by Liu Ye's side!

"Old gourd, you let me see which direction the smoke from the altar is drifting, you won't just talk about it casually!" To get back to the point, the division adjusted its mentality in a timely manner.

The medicine gourd pretended to squint his eyes deeply, stroked his gray beard, and said slowly: "As far as I know, the change in the smoke of the Xiling Sect's General Shrine is a signal, not drifting with the wind, but artificial. For example, if nothing happens in normal times, it is to go straight to the sky, and if there is a change, it means that the people at the altar are sending a message to the outside. ”

"Oh? So what information does the direction of the smoke reveal today? "The teacher humbly asks for advice.

"Hey, if I knew, would I still come to you to grind?" The medicine gourd blew the two whiskers on his lips and squinted at Shizhong.

Shizhong was speechless again, and the medicine gourd said to himself: "It's better like this, it's getting dark, and after an hour, let's go up the mountain for a walk." It's best to find out some news, but if you can't find out, go back, what do you think? ”

"Okay, just do as you say." Shizhong didn't know what news he wanted to find, nor did he know if there was any news they needed at the Xiling Sect's General Altar, let alone why he insisted on coming. Anyway, after tonight, he's going back.

When night fell, Yao Hulu and Shizhong quietly left the inn and slipped up the mountain smoothly under the cover of night. Stara Hill is the shrine of the Xiling Sect, and there are many followers guarding it along the way, and the slightest disturbance will sound the alarm. If there are sneak attackers surrounded, they can't go up or down, and in the end they will only have to wait for death.

Even if you don't get discovered, when you go up to the top of the mountain, there are countless traps around the main altar, such as the terrifying sword mountain and sea of fire, and there is a chance that you will not be able to get out if you accidentally break in. In the final analysis, if you want to sneak into the altar and get close to the Holy Maiden and the others, the chances of winning are slim.

Fortunately, the medicine gourd and the division are not ordinary people, impossible tasks in the eyes of ordinary people, they are careful, it is not impossible. At the very least, it didn't take them half an hour to reach the top of the mountain, and they managed to avoid countless eyeliners.

A good start is half the success, successfully reaching the top of the mountain, the medicine gourd is in a good mood, and he wants to roar a few times with pride. Due to the newcomer, the medicine gourd continued to keep a low profile, and stayed on the tree with the division for a long time to observe before deciding on the next target.

The main altar of the Xiling Sect is a hollow-shaped structure, and at this time they are located on the outer city wall, and they cannot see the situation of the inner palace clearly. The main altar occupies the entire top of the mountain, and its momentum is comparable to that of a royal palace, and it is heavily guarded, and almost every gate is guarded, and it is obviously not feasible to sneak into the inner palace from under their noses.

The medicine gourd and the division performed light skills to fly the eaves and walk the wall, went around the corner to find the next mobile opportunity, knocked the two disciples unconscious, changed into their clothes, and walked into the inner palace in a grand manner.

I thought that they could go all the way, but I didn't expect that there were more Inner Palace disciples, and they didn't recognize the waist card but only their faces. You must know that the disciples of the Xiling Sect are facing each other day and night, and a stranger who mixes in will be exposed immediately.

The medicine gourd didn't have a chance to change its appearance, and before he and Shizhong could take out their waist cards, they were seen through by a disciple and shouted: "Come on, there are assassins......

"His grandmother's ......" Yao Hulu scolded, slashed at the back of the opponent's neck with one palm, and dragged Shizhong to the corner. They avoided the believers who came from all directions, panicked, pushed the door when they saw it, and pushed more than a dozen doors in succession but couldn't push it, and finally ran into one that could be pushed, and the two hurriedly got in.

Waiting for the disciples to run away, the medicine gourd and the master looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around the room, it was empty, not like someone lived there. But the forbidden place in the inner palace, leaving a vacant room is inevitably unreasonable, how suspicious it is.

The medicine gourd walked along the corner of the wall, tapping lightly on the wall around him as he went, and Shizhong understood that he was looking for a mechanism, so he started to look for it in the opposite direction. The two came together face to face, and found nothing, the medicine gourd did not give up, and stood on tiptoe to look for it again from top to bottom.

Finally, he saw the rope hanging from the windowsill, twisted in the shape of a little finger, about two feet long. He thought for a moment, reached out and pulled the rope, and suddenly heard a "click" sound, and three cracks appeared in the center of the opposite wall, forming the shape of a door.

The door opened inside, and the medicine gourd and Shi Zhong didn't think much about it, but when they walked in, it was a dim corridor, and by the faint light at the end of the corridor, they found the secret room.

There was a bed in the secret room, and there was a person lying on the bed, the outline looked familiar, and the teacher involuntarily walked towards him, and the man heard the movement, and raised his head, which was actually a pair of gray eyes.
