[Chapter 169] cliché
Yu Moji hid in the corner, waited for a while, didn't hear any sound, and tentatively walked a few steps along the wall.
She didn't plan to go up to the second floor just yet. No matter how light she is, she will most likely make a sound when she activates the mechanism. After all, this is someone else's territory, and now she is fighting alone, and all actions should be taken seriously.
Perhaps because of the war outside, the Xuannu Sect has limited manpower, and there seems to be no one on the first floor of this stone statue tower. Yu Moji sneered, this time it really hit a big luck; But she still did not dare to slack off, only with a vigilant body, while walking silently, while probing with the crossbow arrow in her hand. Although this method is not as convenient as hand-to-hand investigation, and the information that can be detected is not accurate, it is better than safety.
She hadn't gone far before she stumbled into a cupboard. She took the arrow shaft and probed around in the dark, and felt that this was a commonly used style for Qi people, with a thick door panel and a heavy lock on the outside. I don't know what kind of rare things are in this cupboard.
For Yu Moji, unlocking couldn't be easier. It's just that she didn't dare to touch the lock with her bare hands, and she didn't want to make a move, so she stood there and thought about countermeasures for a while.
At this moment, a ray of light suddenly cast on the cabinet in front of her. Yu Moji suddenly turned around, and saw that the stone wall not far behind him was slowly opening, and a person was leaning in. Although it was not clear to see the light on his back, Yu Moji could be identified at a glance by his posture and movements, and it was definitely not Yan Zheng.
The diffuse moonlight outside the door was hitting Yu Moji's face, and the man must have seen her. No matter how reluctant Yu Moji is, he must not expose his traces because of this person at this time. As soon as she gritted her teeth, she put on her bow and crossbow with her hand, and an arrow was fired, but she saw that the man's figure suddenly moved, and the crossbow arrow flew out by the side of the man's neck.
Yu Moji frowned, and ducked into the darkness on the edge of the cupboard. She could see that the man's actions were not his own, but as if someone behind him was pulling him out of the way. Sure enough, the man was immediately dragged out; At the same time, a foot in an armored boot blocked the stone gate that turned on its own. The movement of this foot to prevent the stone door from making a sound was exactly the same as what Yu Moji had done before.
Through the silver-like moonlight, Yu Moji could see the ornamentation on the armor boot.
She recognized her work. It is a unique mark on the "Beacon Smoke".
Yu Moji flew towards the half-open doorway. Before the stone door could close, she gathered her figure, leaned against the wall, and slipped diagonally through the crack in the door.
Even if Yu Moji had already recognized that it was Yan Zheng who was the one who caught the person, she didn't have the slightest intention of slacking off in her heart. Even if she was full of confidence in Yan Zheng, even if it was only in case, Yu Moji also thought that it was possible for the Xuannu Sect to deceive her by borrowing Yan Zheng's armor.
Fortunately, this time she was too worried, and it was Yan Zheng who was facing her. He was locking the man in his arms and retreating towards a stout tree not far away. That must have been the retreat he had chosen.
Seeing Yu Moji come out, Yan Zheng made an expression and asked her to come over with him - he really couldn't spare his hand to greet Yu Moji. Yan Zheng restrained the captive in his arms with one hand, and broke the captive's mouth with the other, apparently to prevent him from taking poison and committing suicide. This was the second time Yu Mochen had seen a man in the Xuannu Sect - the captive was a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old, with fierce eyes and childish attitude. He held Yan Zheng up uncomfortably with one mouth, and saliva dripped down the corners of his mouth, so he was not embarrassed.
Yu Moji strode to follow, and Lu Shang hadn't forgotten to pick up the crossbow arrow he had just shot. When she got closer, she heard Yan Zheng say, "You quickly think of a way, don't let him die." ”
Yu Mochen remembered the scorpion crawling out of the mouth of the dead man by the house, and as soon as his mind moved, he grabbed a pill from the green sac, crushed it, and raised his hand to wipe it into the captive's gaping mouth; No sooner had he wiped it than an almost identical scorpion peeked out of the captive's throat. Yu Moji's eyes were quick, and he stretched out his fingertips stained with medicine, and pulled the scorpion out alive, stabbing it alive with an arrow.
The captive's face was pained, and a whimper sounded in his throat, but there was no sign of death.
Only then did Yan Zheng let go of the hand that was on the captive's jaw, and wiped it a few times in disgust before he said, "Ling Ai's medicine is very good." Any insect venom can be dealt with. He frowned, and added, "I don't think he understands the official language." Qu Haoying said that you know a foreign language, so you can try it. ”
Yu Moji looked at the captive's face carefully, and didn't see any reason, but felt that it was a little similar to her neighbor Evil Shao, who had mourned in the past. She thought about it, and then sacrificed the Tusu dialect that she hadn't used for a long time, "What's your name?" ”
She asked this very gently, and the captive was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting her to ask this, and blurted out, "Kang." ”
Yu Moji said again, "How old are you?" ”
"Oh my God." Even if Yan Zheng couldn't understand Tusu's words, he could see that something was wrong. He said amusefully, "Have you never forced a confession?" You're just like you're chatting right now. ”
"You wait." Yu Mochen switched to official dialect, replied to Yan Zheng quite unceremoniously, changed back to Tusu dialect, and continued to say to Kang Yan, "Brother, are you more than a teenager?" This is also a common method used by Tusu people to set up almost every other time, and the call of each other's sister and brother can naturally shorten the distance a little.
"The people of Qi with a human face and a beast's heart, you don't have to call me that." Kang Yan said with a straight face, "You can even bring children who have not grown up to join the army, what else can't you do?" Why don't you give me another arrow and make a break. ”
After all, this place is far away from Aige, and the language used by Kang Yan is somewhat different from Aige's Tusu dialect, but the language family is the same, the dialect is similar, and Yu Moji can also understand a general idea, and there is no obstacle to communication. She chewed Kang's words, and said that the army of the Great Qi Empire has an age requirement, how can there be children who have not grown up?
She glanced at Yan Zheng and was about to ask, when she suddenly remembered that what Kang Yan was referring to should be Heng'er who came with them.
Yu Moji knew the reason, so he didn't think about Heng'er at first; But in Kang's opinion, who doesn't know what's going on, isn't what they are doing to bring ungrown children to join the army? Many of the conflicts and misunderstandings arise because people make hasty judgments based on appearances alone. There is no shortage of such things in history.
Yu Moji lowered his voice and said, "You should be able to hear that I am not a Qi person." I forcibly recruited them into the army. You may not believe it, but I just thought that it was the person behind you who followed me in, and that was really a Qi person. That arrow was also prepared for him. ”
Yu Mojian said, his face showed three points of fear, and he didn't give Kang Yan a chance to question, and changed the subject, "What you said, is it a child who can't speak?" He's my brother. As soon as she spoke, she remembered that she had forcibly recognized Kang Yan as a cheap brother just now, and hurriedly made up for it, "Personal." Her lie is so bad that her face doesn't change, her heart doesn't beat, even if she has seen Heng'er, she should have only seen a few face-to-face, and she can't see that she has no blood relationship with Heng'er.
Kang Yan really didn't doubt it, but sneered, "How can there be a sister like you in the world?" Let your own brother be sent to death? No wonder the inferior Qi people want to pull you in. ”
Yu Mochen ignored Kang Yan's slander, and only said hurriedly, "What's wrong with my brother?" "The war has started, and she really doesn't know what happened to Heng'er.
Kang Yan glanced at her and said, "It's nothing, I was going to go to the battlefield with armor earlier, but his small body couldn't even hold up the armor, and he was dragged back by a leader in your battalion." ”
Yu Moji glanced at Kang Yan and saw a gadget hanging from his waist, which looked somewhat similar to the mountain mirror on the Jiangshan boat. She expected that this person must have been near the camp of the Zhennan Army, but he didn't dare to come forward because of the sergeants guarding the camp. I don't know what method the people in the Xuannu Sect use to go back and forth, is it that they all walk through this long tunnel?
Yu Mojian's mind was racing, and his mouth was not ambiguous, and in an instant, he piled up a look of real and false worries, "I don't want to." But my parents are gone, and my brother can't speak. Leaving him alone in his hometown is more likely to be bullied. She said and glanced at Yan Zheng sneakily before saying, "Let me ask you something." Is it possible for the Xuannu Sect to accept my brother? ”
She wasn't really sure if Kang Yan was really a member of the Xuannu Sect. However, Kang Yan is still under Yan Zheng's coercion at the moment, and if there is anything different, the situation is still in the hands of Yu Moji and Yan Zheng.
Kang Yan listened to Yu Moji's question, and was stunned.
Before he could reply, Yu Moji continued to say sincerely, "I have no intention of abandoning my brother. It's just that this kid is born with a disability after all, and being in the army always makes me feel uneasy. I've heard of it before, our Xuannu Sect is to save the world......" She originally wanted to say that the women of the world, but when she looked at this young man, she felt that if he was really a member of the Xuannu Sect, then the doctrine of the Xuannu Sect might have changed, so she said, "It is my responsibility to save the weak people in the world, but I have joined the army in every helplessness, and it has been difficult to contact the Xuannu Sect." I've met you today. Luckily, the guy behind you doesn't speak our language. ”
As she mourned, she realized early on how important language was. When she speaks Tusu dialect, the Tusu people will temporarily forget her Qiren mother and treat her warmly; She spoke neatly in official words, and treating her with people was obviously better than treating the Tusu people who couldn't communicate. People should always be closer to people with similar accents.
The expression on Kang Yan's face softened slightly. Yu Mojin saw that he had already moved, so he took advantage of the victory and pursued, "Let's teach the Chinese people, will it be good to treat a useless doll like my brother?" Between her words, she had gradually put herself and Heng'er on the side of the Xuannu Sect.
When Kang Yan heard this, his face showed a little pride. He took a soft breath and recited, "Xuan Maiden has a message that her followers will surely arrive in the Promised Land." The grief will rejoice, the poor will prosper, the rich will continue to be bright, and the wise will always have her grace by their side......"
This person is indeed a member of the Xuannu Sect. His half-written rhetoric is probably a scripture circulating in the Xuannu Sect.
It took a little effort for Yu Moji to press back the sneer that was about to rise to the corner of his mouth. She said in her heart that the wicked also have three points of luck, and this Xuannu Niangniang wrote the good Lai into her oracle, where can it not be true? Xuannu Niangniang didn't give a deadline anyway, and the people who couldn't wait for the bright paradise were waiting, so it was a big deal to let Xuannu Niangniang allow him a posthumous mourning.
Kang Yan muttered a long paragraph before he said, "Even if he is a congenital mute, as long as he respects and religiously follows Xuannu Niangniang, Xuannu Niangniang will definitely give him blessings." ”
Yu Moji has always hated this nonsense dressed as a fairy, but at this time, there was no disrespect on his face, and he only said hurriedly, "Is that really the case?" However, although our Xuannu Sect is located in the deep mountains, it is inevitable that we will have to deal with those villagers outside. What if they bully my brother? ”
Kang Yan said, "To bully our sect members is to disobey the oracle of Xuannu Niangniang. Haven't you heard of it? The Xuan Maiden will send down a calamity to punish the wicked who refuse to follow her. ”
Yu Moji said, "Having said that, there are so many wicked people in the world, do you want to punish them one by one?" ”
Kang Yan shook his head and said, "How can the golden body of the Xuannu Niangniang be defiled by the eyes of the wicked?" She would send down oracles inviting her most faithful followers to act on her behalf. He paused, and said solemnly, "Today she sent a message to me, asking me to save your brother in the midst of thousands of troops." ”
