Chapter 13: Lethe Pavilion
Mo Bai didn't think that the question Xi Yao wanted to ask was about Lechuan Pavilion, it seemed that Shangguan Ying's words had a great impact on her, so much so that she didn't hesitate to try her best to know the reason for the matter.
He frowned slightly, looked away, and hesitated: "Why do you ask this, isn't it good to stay in the Chu family?"
Xi Yao was also silent, she didn't think the Chu family was bad, it was very good here. Although Chu Sheng is indifferent, it can be seen that he is training himself sincerely, Mo Bai is friendly with the rest of the team, Mo Ying always makes her a lot of beautiful clothes, and her life is happy and fulfilling, so happy that she has to forget her original identity, but ...... She is not from this era at all, and she has to go back after all.
"No, no, no!" she shook her head hurriedly, "It's good here, it's... I still have some things to be sure, maybe there's a clue there. ”
Mo Bai shook his head: "It's a place to eat people, you shouldn't set foot in it, it's better to give up this idea." If you really want to find your original family, you can tell Gongzi that the Chu family's eyeliner intelligence bureau is all over the Tiansheng Dynasty, and even abroad, and it will definitely be found. ”
Why is it that when it comes to the Lechuan Pavilion, Chu Sheng and Mo Bai have the same attitude, one has a cold face and no longer speaks, and the other says that it is a place to eat people, where is there a secret that cannot be humanized by outsiders? Xiyao's family is not in this world at all, what she wants to ask is how to travel back, and Shangguan Ying said that the pavilion master of Lechuan Pavilion can answer any question, isn't this exactly what she desperately needs?
She didn't understand, but the only thing she knew for sure was that she had to find that place.
"It doesn't matter if you don't say it, anyway, even if I ask the entire Nanyang City, I have to find the answer. Xi Yao said unwillingly, and then suddenly remembered something, and suddenly said: "Yes, I'll ask Qionglin, he must know!" And Xi Yao felt that he would definitely answer himself truthfully, and she turned around and was about to leave.
"You stop!" Mo Bai said, frowning, and suddenly felt that Xi Yao was a persistent and stupid daredevil, as if he couldn't do anything about her, and sighed heavily, "I'll tell you." ”
Xi Yao paused, and her heart was happy, but when she turned around, she still maintained her expression and said coldly: "Chu Sheng actually cultivated you like this? Since she agreed, if she can resist ten tricks and answer the question, how can she go back on her word.
With another sigh, Mo Bai said in his heart, if he had known that this question was to be answered, he would rather be beaten by Xi Yao with a hundred moves, or not fight back. It's too late to regret it, Xi Yao's posture is clearly to break the casserole and ask to the end, but the one who lives in Tiansheng Palace is not a reliable one, and it will be difficult for the prince to explain in front of the emperor when the city is full of storms.
Mo Bai beckoned to her, "Grandma, I'll tell you, don't go to the second prince, he doesn't even know what Lechuan Pavilion is." ”
The two found a place to sit down, and took the wound medicine to Xi Yao, and then told her the details.
"Duckweed Mountain is located in the north of Nanyang, towering and steep, the mountain is full of rare and exotic beasts, originally the territory of the Sumeru clan, they are fierce, good at hunting in the mountains, after the establishment of the Tiansheng Dynasty, the two parties have been friendly with each other, so there has been no conflict. Until one day five years ago, the envoy sent by Tiansheng Palace to the Sumeru tribe suddenly came back to report that the Sumeru clan was all slaughtered in one night, and the village was full of bloodstains, shocking and miserable, and there was no survivor. Since then, the evergreen duckweed mountain has become a perennial snow place, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and in the hearts of Nanyang people, it has also become a forbidden place, a place that blocks the souls of thousands of people of the Sumeru clan, and no one goes anymore. ”
Is that why it's called a place that eats people? Just because there are undead? Xi Yao thought, but she has always been bold, and she is a medical student, so naturally she doesn't believe in ghosts and gods.
Mo Bai sighed and continued: "After that year, a courtyard suddenly appeared on the mountain, called Lechuan Pavilion, just like Shangguan Ying said, legend has it that the master of Lechuan Pavilion is knowledgeable in astronomy, knows geography, knows everything, and can answer anyone's questions, just ......"
"Just what?" Xiyao's curiosity was greatly aroused, and she hurriedly asked.
"It's just that the pavilion master never answers questions in vain, and the person who asks the question has to pay the same price. ”
"That's normal. Xi Yao raised her eyebrows, "In the same exchange, the pavilion master has paid for his labor, so he will naturally get the corresponding remuneration." ”
Mo Bai shook his head, and the gloomy color in his eyes was even heavier, "Over the years, many people in the Tiansheng Dynasty have gone to the Tiansheng Dynasty, but they have gone more and less. The duckweed mountain is covered with snow all year round, and the mountain is steep and towering, extremely difficult to walk, and an avalanche can occur if you are not careful, and there are fierce beasts on the mountain, and most of the people died on the road. ”
Hearing him say this, Xi Yao couldn't help frowning, her wings are not full now, she has not practiced kung fu and spiritual fire at home, and it is indeed very risky to go up the mountain alone, but Mo Bai's words have not yet been finished.
"It's not just ordinary people who have troubles, many people with special abilities and strong martial arts are also admiring it, although they successfully got the answers they wanted, but within a year, these people were not spared. They either broke their arms and legs, or lost a pair of eyes, some martial arts masters lost to unknown juniors, leaving a stench for thousands of years, and some high-ranking officials and nobles were frustrated in the court, connecting the nine clans, so that the Lechuan Pavilion became a place of cannibalism. ”
After hearing these words, Xi Yao was already stunned in place, and her mouth opened into an O-shape. I am obedient, I dare to want to know the answer to the question can only exchange my life, which of these people in Mo Bai's mouth is not a hundred times stronger than her, but none of these people have escaped the curse, let alone her.
No wonder Chu Sheng and Mo Bai didn't tell her, it turned out that Shangguan Ying was going to let herself go to give her life in vain, and she inquired in advance, if she went rashly, maybe she would have to wait for her parents in Heaven now.
She swallowed her saliva and asked in a trembling voice, "Then, have you gone to the Lechuan Pavilion and are not dead yet?"
Mo Bai pursed his lips and nodded hesitantly, "Yes, it is precisely because there are people who are spared that they will have a fluke mentality to gamble one after another, but there are very few who can survive." ”
"That's ......," Xiyao muttered. What is the probability of being spared? 1 in 100, 1 in 100, or 1 in 1,000.
Mo Bai took a long breath and looked at her solemnly, "I have said everything that should be said, but I still say the same thing, I advise you not to go, it is not wise to gamble with your life." There are some things that you can't force in your life all the time, and it's better to put the matter of finding your family back for the time being. ”
At this time, Xi Yao really hesitated, not to mention whether she could escape the curse, that is, the avalanche and beasts on the mountain were enough for her to drink a pot. However, there is only one chance to go home, and if she misses her, she will die alone in this other world, which does not seem to be what she wants.
You really should think about it...
