Chapter Ninety-Eight: Jia Qianqian Falls Into a Cliff

Nie Wuzheng carried Jia Qianqian to the entrance of the cave and put him down, and said in a pleading tone: "Qianqian, go in and help me take out the scepter, as long as you give me the scepter, I will agree to any request." ”

"Then can you promise me not to return to the country?"

"In addition to this condition, I can promise you anything, you should know that as a descendant of the Nie clan of the Dayue Dynasty, it is my responsibility and obligation to restore the country, you can rest assured, I will rebuild a new Dayue Dynasty, and I will let the people live a good life."

Jia Qianqian shook her head helplessly, "The people have now lived a stable life, and you raised troops to restore the country, just dragging them into the turbulent days of war again." ”

"Qianqian!" Nie Wuzheng was so anxious that he didn't know what to say. At this time, Da Niu suddenly said: "Young master, it's not good, the Sisli people are here!" On the path up the mountain, the ghost-faced wizard and three strong young men were already speeding towards the mouth of the cave. It turned out that the eagle went back and barked at the ghost-faced wizard, who guessed that something might have happened to the holy land, so he rushed with three people.

"Hurry up Qianqian, don't hesitate any longer. Otherwise it's too late. Nie Wuzheng said as he dragged Jia Qianqian into the cave.

Jia Qianqian was involuntarily pulled into the cave by him, and after walking for more than ten steps, Nie Wuzheng felt strong dizziness and discomfort again. Holding his breath, he glanced at Jia Qianqian, who was at a loss in panic, but still showed no signs of poisoning.

Nie Wuzheng really couldn't figure out why Jia Qianqian, who had no martial arts, was not affected by the poisonous gas, could it be that the ghost-faced wizard really performed some magical magic on her? In fact, to put it bluntly, the colorful pigments smeared on Jia Qianqian's face are the antidote to this strange poison. The Ghost-Faced Wizard and the four Flower-Faced Wizards had all applied this paint, so only a few of them could send the sacrifice and Jia Qianqian into the cave.

Nie Wuzheng didn't know how long the passage of this cave was, and he didn't know if it was full of this kind of poisonous gas, so he didn't dare and couldn't continue to move forward, but he suddenly pushed Qianqian in and said, "Qianqian, I'll stop them, you go in quickly and take out the scepter, and then we will escape from Khotan." ”

Outside the cave were already the roar of the Grimace Wizard and the chirping of the Sisri. The bull had already fought them, but he could only resist the three of them, and the ghost-faced wizard had already scurried into the cave.

Nie Wuzheng turned around and swept out, resisting the ghost-faced wizard. Jia Qianqian stood in the passage, fighting fiercely in his heart, whether to help Nie Wu fight for the scepter, if he didn't take it out, he would definitely not give up, and he would definitely find a way to steal the scepter again. Alas, forget it, let's take the scepter away first!

Jia Qianqian ran into the cave, took the scepter from the shrine, and exited the cave. I saw that the three Sisli tribesmen and the ghost-faced wizard were fighting with Nie Wuzheng and the two of them. When the ghost-faced wizard saw Jia Qianqian take out the scepter, he roared angrily: "That girl, you quickly put the holy relic back, otherwise, the gods will definitely condemn you." ”

When Nie Wuzheng saw the scepter, his spirit suddenly doubled, and he shouted, "Qianqian, go to the mountain!" ”

The foot of the front hill may be surrounded by the Sisli who rushed in, so they can only run up the hill and find a suitable direction to escape.

Jia Qianqian knew that he had changed from the most honored guest of the Sisli tribe to the enemy who stole their holy relics, and now he had to follow Nie Wuzheng's instructions and flee for his life. ”

He took off his burdensome Sisli robes, wrapped his scepter around it, and began to climb the mountain.

Although the Ghost-Faced Wizard's martial arts are good, they are still slightly inferior to Nie Wuzheng. Although the three Sisli men were fierce and brave, they didn't know martial arts, so Nie Wuzheng and Da Niu resisted while covering Qianqian to go up the mountain.

Jia Qianqian couldn't climb the mountain road anymore, turned around and shouted to Nie Wuzheng: "It's very steep above, you can't go up." At this time, Da Niu had already kicked the two Sisli men to the ground, and rushed over to deal with the ghost-faced wizard and the other man with Nie Wuzheng. Nie Wuzheng took the opportunity to look around, and then said to Qianqian, "Go down the mountain from the west." ”

Jia Qianqian hurriedly crawled to the west. To the northwest is a cliff that climbs over a gentle slope due west and opposite to the Sisli settlement, making it easier to escape. Jia Qianqian carefully climbed over the edge of the cliff. It is about to reach the gentle ground to the west. A snake popped out of a crevice in the rock. Jia Qianqian screamed in fright, and involuntarily took two steps back, but forgot that he was on the edge of the cliff, and suddenly stepped on the air, and his body quickly fell down the cliff.

"Qianqian!" Nie Wuzheng screamed in surprise, he didn't care about dealing with the ghost-faced wizard, and lay on the top of the cliff and looked down. But I saw that there was no bottom down there, and there were still human figures there.

"Qianqian! Thousands! Nie Wuzheng pounded the rocks, his heart ached beyond measure, Jia Qianqian and the scepter were gone.

This incident also startled the ghost-faced wizard, who knelt on the ground and shouted in the Sisli language with his hands to the sky: "O gods! You punished the sinners who tried to take the holy relics, but you also took the holy relics, will you bless the Sisli from now on? ”

said that Jia Qianqian fell quickly from the cliff, and her mind was already blank at this time. Below the cliff was a deep pool, and just a dozen meters above the deep pool, a huge spider web lay across it. This spider web is the web of a rare one-eyed spider king that weighs about ten pounds. The stickiness and toughness of this mesh are magical. Jia Qianqian fell from the cliff with a huge impact, which actually made the spider web wrap her like a cocoon, although the flexibility of this spider silk was super strong, but the impact force of her falling was too great, so the spider web wrapped her and shook her a few times, slammed her head on the rock wall, and then wrapped her and fell into the deep pool.

Because of the magical effect of this spider web, although Jia Qianqian fainted after being hit on the head, the huge impact of falling from a high altitude was eased, and because she fell into the water, the rest of her body was not harmed.

There was a huge old turtle lying in the deep pool that had lived for an unknown number of years, and Jia Qianqian fell down and landed right on its back. The scepter wrapped in sacrificial clothes was always held in Jia Qianqian's hand, and at this time, the scepter with a mysterious aura was soaked in the pool water, and it slowly became hot. The old turtle felt something unusual on its back, slowly swam out of the water, and climbed onto the shore.

Jia Qianqian fell from the turtle's back and passed out there. The so-called all things are mutually reinforcing, although the one-eyed spider king's spider silk is amazingly viscous, but the water in this deep pool is its nemesis, and the spider silk is soaked by it, and it is completely no sticky. The spiritual old turtle sensed the unusualness of the thing in Jia Qianqian's hand, broke the cobweb, which was no longer sticky, and bit the sacrificial clothes in Jia Qianqian's hand with his mouth, and the scepter was suddenly exposed.

The one-eyed spider rushed over from the cliff in anger because the web it had worked so hard to weave was broken by Jia Qianqian, but when it saw the old turtle, it didn't dare to eat Jia Qianqian, so it had to go around and leave in a huff.

The old turtle lay beside Jia Qianqian, quietly guarding her. Jia Qianqian, who was unconscious, until the next day, when the noon sun shone vertically, the scepter suddenly emitted a magnificent and dazzling light, and Jia Qianqian gradually woke up under the shroud of aura.

Jia Qianqian, who woke up, looked around blankly, and his mind was blank. What is your name? How did you get to this hellish place? What's the deal with the glowing jade staff? What's going on with this giant old turtle? In short, she had complete amnesia. Jia Qianqian banged his head hard, except for feeling dizzy, he still couldn't remember anything.

The instinct to survive made her decide to leave this hellish place first. I got up and looked around, and there was a waterhole around me, above which was a cliff, and the other three sides were also cliffs, but it was gentle. Jia Qianqian looked at the jade staff again, and faintly felt that this thing should be very important, but it should not be taken with him. He frowned and looked around. I dug a shallow pit next to a boulder, wrapped the jade staff in the sacrificial garment, put it in and buried it, and found some gravel to cover it, and after arranging it, I went back and touched the old turtle's head, "You are so big, you must be a turtle, you have to help me take care of that treasure." The old turtle seemed to understand her words, and stretched his neck to rub against her legs, and the two of them seemed to be old friends.

Bidding farewell to the old turtle, Jia Qianqian looked for a gentle hillside and began to climb up. After climbing a few steps, I immediately felt weak and hungry. But the instinct to survive sustained her to keep climbing. Halfway up the mountain, I saw a bird pecking at a dark red wild fruit fluttering away. Jia Qianqian was overjoyed, and hurriedly crawled over to pick off those ripe wild fruits and desperately stuffed them into his mouth. She had eaten all the ripe fruits on the tree, and then she felt much more comfortable in her stomach and a little stronger. He plucked the unripe fruit and put it in his bosom and continued to climb out of the mountain.

When the sky darkened, Jia Qianqian, who was covered in scars and her hair hooked like a crazy woman, finally climbed to the foot of the mountain.

At this time, Jia Qianqian no longer had the slightest strength to move, and fainted at the foot of the mountain.

When she woke up again, she found herself lying in a low, dilapidated tent, and an old woman in Khotanese dress in her sixties was boiling batter in a small pot.

"Excuse me, old man, where is this?" Jia Qianqian asked blankly.

When this old woman of different races saw that she woke up, she muttered a lot, but poor Jia Qianqian didn't understand half a sentence, and looked at her like a fool.

The old grandmother asked again in Khotanese Chinese: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" ”

Jia Qianqian said in a daze: "Grandma, why can't I understand what you say?" Where the hell is this? How do your eyes be blue? How strange! ”

The old woman of Khotan couldn't understand what Jia Qianqian was saying, so the two of them had to stare at each other with wide eyes. In the end, the two had to rely on simple gestures to communicate.

In this way, Jia Qianqian settled in the tent of this lonely old woman. The old woman changed her into the old clothes of her youth and helped her to comb her hair into the hairstyle of a Khotanese girl. Took a name called Alia. If you don't look closely at her eyes, you think she is a beautiful Khotanese girl.

The old woman's husband and son were killed in a tribal conflict, she hated the patriarch for some trivial things and the conflict with the neighboring tribes, and her husband and son were killed in battle, for more than 20 years, she left the tribe alone, relying on the dozens of sheep fed, wandering alone on this grassland. Although Jia Qianqian and her did not understand the language, the two got along very well and happily. The old woman gestured to teach Jia Qianqian how to herd sheep and how to milk herd, Jia Qianqian was very happy to do these things, only occasionally when she was bored with herding sheep, she tried to recall what she was called, where she came from, and what happened to fall into that valley alone? It's a pity that she still can't think of anything even if she wants to break her head.

But he said that Nie Wuzheng saw Jia Qianqian fall into the cliff with his own eyes that day, and even fell down with the scepter, and his regret and heartache were unbearable, and he lay on the edge of the cliff and smashed his hands to blood. Da Niu saw more and more Sisli people coming down the mountain. He hurriedly dragged him to the west. Seeing that the relics were gone, the ghost-faced wizard only prayed to the gods for forgiveness, and did not stop chasing them, and the two were able to escape without any problems. Nie Wuzheng was heartbroken, refused to return to Xuancheng, he must go into the mountains to find Jia Qianqian's bones and scepter, Da Niu was afraid of any more accidents, persuaded him to wait for the time being, and asked a businessman who went to Xuancheng to bring a letter, and called some more people to come over to help find it.

And Shangguan Lei, Long Jie and Xu Xiaozi outside Xuancheng were originally going to listen to Jia Qianqian's true situation before deciding what to do next, but who knew that Shangguan Lei actually received a message from the old owner's trustee, asking him to return to Wujian Villa quickly, it turned out that Liancheng Sect and Wujian Villa had a big conflict again. Shangguan Lei couldn't, so he had to let Long Jie and Xu Xiaozi stay here to listen to Jia Qianqian's news, and rushed back to Wujian Villa by himself.

On the third day after Shangguan Lei left, Xu Xiaozi learned through the news from the red leaves of Shunfeng Hall that Nie Wuzheng took Jia Qianqian to Khotan, and it seemed that something had happened, and Xuancheng sent more than 30 people to Khotan.

Long Jie and Xu Shorty naturally couldn't stay here and wait, after the two discussed, it was decided that Xu Shorty would continue to stay near Xuancheng to listen to the news in the city, while Long Jie rushed to Khotan to check the situation. The two met ten days later on the Khotanese border. If Nie Wuzheng came back with Jia Qianqian, Long Jie wouldn't have to continue looking. After the agreement, Long Jie immediately followed the whereabouts of more than 30 people in Naxuancheng to the vicinity of the Sisli tribe in Khotan. However, Long Jie could not understand Khotanese Chinese, let alone speak, so he had to pay a merchant to be a guide and began a painstaking search. It's just that he never thought that Jia Qianqian had lost her memory and turned into a Khotanese girl.
