【Chapter 94】Mother and daughter
"Okay." Ling Ai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "It's rare for you to be so decisive." ”
Yu Mojian said that sentence loudly, but as soon as she heard Ling Ai praise her, her face turned red.
Yu Mochen didn't dare to look at anyone, just lowered his head, forcibly changed the topic, and said, "Is Yan Zheng the only one who knows how to go in?" ”
"I just know how to get to where I broke up with before. It's a lot of twists and turns, and we have to figure out a way together for the rest of the road. Yan Zheng said, then lifted the green heavy gun, pushed open the door of the dungeon with one hand, and said while making a fire fold, "Follow closely." ”
Under the light of the fire, a downward staircase appeared in front of Yu Moji. Sure enough, it was the kind of arcing step she had seen in her vision.
At first glance, this scene shocked Yu Moji's heart, but it quickly reassured her. If the illusion created by the Xuannu Sect is not omnipotent, but must be based on reality, then there must be room for it to be broken.
The only source of light for them at the moment was the fire fold in Yan Zheng's hand. Yu Moji followed closely behind, and after walking for a while, he saw that the stairs were not closed and narrow as in the illusion, but extended from each floor, and he could see the closed cell in the distance.
She went all the way down, and the more she went, the more strange she felt. It was already strange that there was no sound from the prisoners in the cell. In addition, according to Yu Moji's imagination of the yamen, since this place is a dungeon, there should always be a guard officer. However, along the way, there was darkness and silence everywhere, and there was not even a ghost shadow as far as the eye could see.
This abnormal silence made the vigilance in Yu Moji's heart suddenly increase to an additional level. As she walked, she cautiously looked back and forth. Ling Ai, who was escorting the team behind, saw her expression and couldn't help but be happy, so he said, "Look at you're nervous." Take it easy. ”
Yu Mochen realized that the muscles on her face had become a little sore, she quickly raised her hand and rubbed her face, and said, "So we can talk...... Where did the officials go here? ”
"I instructed my retainers to feast on the whole mansion, and they were not allowed to come back until midnight, and none of the shrimp soldiers and crabs were allowed to fall on small miscellaneous fish." Yan Zheng in front didn't reply, "Li Zheng is quite obedient." ”
Yu Mojian was a poor man, and he couldn't imagine such a simple and rude approach, so he had to keep his mouth silent; However, as soon as she was distracted, she bumped into Yan Zheng's back.
Although Yu Moji didn't react quickly, as soon as he saw Yan Zheng stop, he immediately knew that something must be going on in front of him.
She didn't say anything, just silently took a half-step back. She was afraid of bumping into Ling Ai behind her, so she deliberately glanced back, and saw that the arquebus in Ling Ai's hand had been raised, and Yan Zheng threw the green Shen spear to Yu Moji, and he flew out with his bare hands, pulling out a person from the darkness with extreme accuracy.
It's a servant who slipped through the net.
The reason why Yan Zheng didn't directly raise his gun and poke it, and the reason why Ling Ai didn't shoot rashly, it seems that they all took this situation into account and didn't want to injure innocent people by mistake. Yu Mojian held the spear that Yan Zheng casually threw to her for safekeeping, and the other hand slowly lowered from the Qianji crossbow.
Yan Zheng still locked the other party's throat with his bare hands, but he was also obviously relieved, "If you don't drink wine, what are you doing sneakily here?" ”
The official looked panicked, struggled while shouting in a hoarse voice, "Where the duty is, where the duty is, don't be surprised by the strong man." ”
Before he finished speaking, the sound of the projectile breaking through the air passed through Yu Moji's ears.
A scream.
Ling Ai was only shot once of the two shots, and the entire left arm of the official immediately lost his strength and fell back to the ground; The other projectile that was discharged was knocked away by the crossbow arrow that flew at the same time.
Fortunately, because Yu Moji couldn't believe in his own accuracy, he also shot two arrows, and after this change, he finally hit the bull's-eye, bringing out a paper bag that was being thrown towards Yan Zheng in the hand of the official and nailed him to death in the dark.
Yan Zheng followed closely and stunned the dishonest official with his bare hands. He got up and glanced at Yu Moji, raised an eyebrow slightly, and said, "You have such a head with one hand?" ”
Yu Moji's reaction was no faster than her arrows. She was so anxious to die, and because she had shot Ling Ai's projectile away, she was very upset, and she hadn't had time to break back from the awkward posture she had when she released the arrow. Hearing Yan Zheng's question, she hurriedly handed back the green gun she was still holding in her left hand to Yan Zheng, "I thought you knew." ”
"......" When Yan Zheng threw the gun, he obviously used her as an ordnance. He didn't admit it at the moment, so he said, "You should take it as I know." ”
Now is certainly not the time to dwell on this. Yu Moji smiled indifferently, turned his head to look at the officer, and said, "What are we going to do with this person?" It looks a bit powerful, but it doesn't seem appropriate to drop it here. I don't know when I'll wake up. ”
"It's very difficult. Your arrow might as well miss a little bit, and it will kill him directly. Yan Zheng copied his hand and suddenly joked, "So-you actually want to kill him, right?" ”
Yu Moji only felt that Yan Zheng was extremely boring.
While the two of them were chattering, Ling Ai had already stepped forward, "Do you want to wake up and ask?" ”
"No need." Yan Zheng decided, "If you ask something false, it will be a distraction." Especially Yu Moji's brain, maybe it will be messed up, wouldn't it be more troublesome. ”
Yu Mojian's face was stunned, and Yan Zheng really liked to squeeze her more and more; But when she heard this, she actually felt that Yan Zheng had a little truth in what she said.
Ling Ai nodded, stretched out two slender white fingers, and gently and skillfully probed into the magical medicine bag that she often carried around her waist, and then raised her hand to brush the face of the servant, and said, "Okay." Let him go to the pot for a while. ”
Yan Zheng asked curiously, "What is that?" Drugged? ”
Yu Moji nodded with a complicated expression. The name only reminded her of memories she wanted to avoid.
"It turns out that you also know," Yan Zheng didn't mean anything surprised, "Speaking of which, when I was in Juping Mountain, I saw that you always had a medicine bag like Ling Ai. ”
"Hmm." Yu Mochen was worried that he would go deep into the territory of the Xuannu Sect after a while, and if his mind was not strong, he was afraid that he would be affected by the illusion again, so he no longer mentioned the matter, and only urged Yan Zheng to continue to go down.
It's like a bottomless pit. It was only later that the stairs became rougher and rougher, and the corridors that stretched out of the floors gradually disappeared, until at the end of the day, it was almost a sloping dirt slope.
However, after walking like this for a long time, everywhere they went, in addition to the darkness, there was still only the fire in Yan Zheng's hand that seemed to be able to burn the darkness out of a hole. I don't know how strong Yan Zheng's sense of direction is, and he can remember the road in this environment.
However, this darkness is really a little different from the Xuannu Sect in Yu Moji's impression. She even thought that it might be that Ling Ai was too heavy when she removed the "Seeing Confusion", leaving a sequelae that would be blind when she saw the hallucination.
Until she heard that familiar singing voice again.
Yu Moji's scalp exploded and he paused.
Ling Ai asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"You didn't hear that, did you?" Yu Mochen tried his best not to think about the face that turned into white bones in front of her, "You have a family education to rely on, you shouldn't be deceived by the demon law taught by the Xuannu......"
To her surprise, Ling Ai shook her head, "Not really. Hallucinations are just a façade, and there can be many reasons behind them. Although I know how to solve the confusion of seeing, it is difficult to predict what other methods the other person will use to confuse your mind. She explained briefly, and then confessed, "But I really didn't hear anything. ”
"I heard a bird's call." Yan Zheng turned his head, his face was a little ugly, "It's very ugly." ”
Yu Moji suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was uncertain whether Ling Ai was immune to the effects of the hallucination, since the voice she heard was different from Yan Zheng's, it was enough to show that the voice was just an illusion.
Then there's nothing to be afraid of. There is always a time when people come back to reality.
Yu Moji thought about it for a while, and said, "Anyway, I don't know what's going on, so let's ignore these messy voices for now...... Go to General Yuan first. ”
"There's no way," Yan Zheng said, "the place where I'm separated from him is in the direction where that cry came from." ”
The matter has come to this point, and the ink marks have only passed hard. She has always felt that she is a person who has no respect for ghosts and gods, but at this moment she also muttered: "My mother is ...... She won't hurt me. ”
Yan Zheng didn't hear clearly, so he leaned over and asked, "What did you say?" ”
Yu Mochen realized that he had spoken out, and quickly pushed Yan Zheng's face, which looked a little pale under the firelight, away, and only shook his head and said it was okay.
"Wait a minute," Ling Ai untied a golden-looking hairband from his hair, and said as he connected himself to Yu Moji, "Since the three of us are not in the same situation, we must not be separated at this time." ”
Yu Moji's dress at this time was as rough as usual, and he only used a cloth belt to tie his hair, and if he didn't want her thick hair to affect his already obscure vision, he would never be able to get rid of it. She had no choice but to reach out and hook the hook strap on Yan Zheng's armor, and said softly, "Offended." ”
They had traveled a long distance along the dirt slope, and the tormenting singing in Yu Moji's ears became clearer and clearer. She endured it for a long time, and finally reached the gentler ground. The ground is covered with stone slabs that are tightly seamed, silently indicating that the place has been artificially arranged.
Walking further, I turned a corner, and suddenly there was a halo that Yu Mo had seen before.
Yu Moji took a deep breath, didn't stop for a moment, and followed Yan Zheng around.
The source of the light source is the dark void and the stone lotus flower that are very similar to those in the illusion. It's just that the lotus flowers here are not lined up in a path, but are staggered and outlined in a mysterious pattern that looks like a flower but not a flower.
Yuan Yizhi stood in the corner of the pattern, his expression was quite dignified.
In the center of the pattern is a kneeling woman, with her back to the ink marks, and her face is not visible.
On her shoulder, a singing crow.
Ling Ai's voice fell into Yu Moji's ears at this moment.
"Mother."
