Chapter 7: Shinto

"You were sprayed on your leg by the cold corpse of the female corpse just now, and the injury was not light, fortunately, she was injured first, and her skills were not as good as usual, otherwise, not only would you not be able to save these two legs, but I am afraid that even your life would be thrown here at this time. As she spoke, the woman in purple took out a delicate small porcelain bottle from her arms, opened the cap, and gently jumped out of a cloud of red powder with her nails, which flicked on Ye Boyu's dark legs, "Don't be afraid, it's just that the poison repellent powder that my master personally matched is very effective for corpse poison, and it will be fine in less than half an hour." ”

"Thank you, girl, for saving your life. Ye Boyu only felt that the red powder was sprinkled on his legs, and immediately a trace of cool air diffused, and the swelling of his legs suddenly disappeared by half, and the green blood line began to flow back slowly. Only then did he put his mind at ease, and then remembered something, and asked, "Girl, just now I heard someone whispering softly in the secret passage, and it felt very similar to the girl's voice. ”

"Yes, that's me. I didn't expect you to have a little bit of ear power. The girl in purple put away the porcelain bottle and laughed softly: "I was inspecting the blood Gu ** in the Blood Cloak Hall in the secret passage, and I was negligent for a while, I didn't expect someone to break in late at night, so I couldn't help but scream softly, but I didn't expect to be heard by you." ”

"What, Blood Gu**?" Ye Boyu was taken aback, shook his head, and couldn't help asking.

"Ask more! You're still thinking about how to get your companion out of the way as quickly as possible. In a little while, you might be a corpse, and you don't regret it. The woman in purple knew that she was speechless, and said repeatedly.

"Yes, yes. Seeing that the girl in purple was angry, Ye Boyu didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly put down his trousers and staggered to his feet.

"Also, you have to take the blue flower that saved your life just now, it is also very useful for dissolving corpse poison. The girl in purple said.

Ye Boyu hurriedly picked up a few handfuls of blue flowers on the spot and hurriedly put them in his arms, regardless of the blood on his hands that were pierced by the thorns.

The girl in purple saw that Ye Boyu was so scared, and she laughed out loud without entering, and said with a smile: "You didn't intend to break into the Blood Cloak Hall, quickly saved your companions from the place of right and wrong, don't step into here for half a step, it's better for you to know less about the superfluous secrets of the rivers and lakes, I'm for your good." ”

"Listen to the girl's orders. Ye Boyu replied repeatedly, remembering that the third uncle once said that the rivers and lakes are sinister, and the various sects are fighting openly and secretly, and what they are most afraid of each other is to spy on secrets, and they dare not ask again.

When I looked up, I saw that the face of the girl in purple seemed to be slightly gloomy, and I remembered that although the girl in purple was not very polite to herself along the way, she was lightly angry and angry, and it was the most beautiful scene she had ever seen in her life.

The woman in purple took out a small compass from her bosom, walked back and forth a few steps, placed the compass on a flat ground, and looked down carefully. Ye Boyu also hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to see what was going on.

Compass, although Ye Boyu has not used it, but it is no stranger to it, I saw that the compass taken out by the girl in purple was only a few inches large, and the whole body was golden, I don't know whether it was made of brass or pure gold, and the top was clearly divided into five concentric circles with silver edges, the innermost layer is a circular heaven and earth, which is the inner disk, and the inside is a long pointer with red and white, and the pointer is clearly marked with "east, west, south, north" four red directions, and the four big characters of east, west, south and north are marked with black characters in the middle of the four directions such as "southeast and northwest".

The third layer of the compass is marked with the eight trigram symbols of "Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li, and Dui", which correspond to the eight directions of east, west, north and south.

The fourth layer is densely divided into sixty-four small grids, and the symbols of the sixty-four hexagrams are clearly marked with fly-headed small letters, and the outermost layer is the angle of the twenty-four mountains.

The woman in purple stared at the compass nervously, and said to herself: "It should be this direction, logically speaking, it is the 'shock' position." ”

Ye Boyu didn't know what the girl in purple was looking for, but she was silently watching from the side, and after a while, she saw the compass pointer move a few more times, and the girl in purple called out in a low voice: "That's right, this is it." ”

Ye Boyu followed the eyes of the woman in purple, but saw that the direction she was pointing in was obviously the bamboo forest where she almost died in the fight with the female corpse just now, and behind the bamboo forest was the courtyard wall more than three feet high that blocked her back road. Busy said: "Girl, there is nothing there, and I didn't see any road just now." ”

The girl in purple was immersed in joy, and she didn't blame Ye Boyu for talking too much, and said with a smile: "This is a little trick of the Blood Clothes Hall, it's okay to deceive others, it's almost okay to deceive this girl, hum." "Let's say, put away the compass, and urged Ye Boyu to leave quickly, and his figure disappeared in the bushes in a flash.

Ye Boyu had no choice but to cheer up and follow the girl in purple to the northeast, the girl in purple was overjoyed and walked very fast, Ye Boyu was worried that he would be left behind, and he didn't care about his leg injury, so he had to trot all the way and follow behind, and after a while, he was out of breath.

The direction on the compass that the girl in purple just said actually refers to the "shock" position in the innate gossip, and the earthquake position in the innate gossip refers to the northeast direction.

In the middle of the back garden is a large lake, the outside of the lake is a circle of cobblestone paths, along the path and the lake arranged a long corridor, the entrance to the back garden Moon Gate is facing a small island, in the middle of the island is a hexagonal pavilion (that is, the female corpse with the heart of the pavilion to tempt Ye Boyu). The cobblestone path leads past the gazebo and into the depths of the bamboo forest. The garden is full of pieces of bamboo forests, it seems that there is no regularity at all, a cluster in the east, a cluster in the west, less than a dozen, more than a hundred, under the bamboo forest, you can faintly see the kind of unknown small blue flowers seen in the front yard, blooming very densely.

Ye Boyu followed the girl in purple closely, first walked along the cobblestone garden road for a while, and then walked through the bamboo forest for a while, sometimes the bamboo forest was too dense to block the road, and it seemed that there was no road, the woman in purple went around left and right, and made another detour from the bamboo forest.

The two of them walked for about half a tea time, walked under the courtyard wall, and when they arrived at the courtyard wall, when Ye Boyu looked up, he found that the courtyard wall was actually higher than just now, five or six zhang high, where was there a way to go.

But seeing that the girl in purple did not look back, she first looked around under the corner of the wall, and then reached out to knock on the wall, saw where she was, pushed with both hands, and slowly pushed open a door more than one person high.

Push open the door, behind the door is a wide and straight bluestone avenue, the two sides of the road are filled with two rows of stone lamps more than half a person high, the candle flame in the stone lamp is also oily, a bright and dark keep flickering, the stone lamp is a large dense forest of black pressure outside, under the moonlight, only to see two rows of green swaying candles go straight to a mountain not far away, there is no end in sight.

Ye Boyu never expected that there was such a place behind the courtyard wall, turned his head to look at the girl in purple next to him, but saw the girl in purple smiling like a flower, Ying Ying smiled: "That's right, this is it, go quickly." ”

Ye Boyu saw that although the avenue in front of him was very strange, he couldn't see anything dangerous for a while, and he didn't have time to think about it, the two walked quickly along the bluestone road.

The bluestone road is very long, the two walked straight for more than half an hour, only to walk all the way to the foot of the mountain, look up, only to see the bluestone road all the way up the steps, the green candle flame leads straight to the depths of the mountainside, under the cover of the dense forest, there seem to be a few black shadows faintly on the mountain, and there is no difference.

"It's the fourth watch, and the master of the Blood Cloak Hall will inevitably return before dawn, so we have to hurry up. The woman in purple said softly.

"Where is this? There are no vampire female corpses, right?" Ye Boyu said busily.

"Look at your little bit of talent, do you think that the vampire female corpse is so easy to find, that female corpse must be a girl with a yin birthday, and it has to be cultivated from the time of a virgin, and there may not be one in a hundred years. The woman in purple laughed.

"Thankfully. Ye Boyu thought to himself: "No wonder that female corpse is so powerful, it turns out that it is so difficult to cultivate." He looked up and wanted to ask, "Where is this?" but saw that the girl in purple had already walked quickly towards the mountainside, and forcibly swallowed the words into her stomach.

The two of them went forward and one after the other, just a few dozen steps, Ye Boyu was physically exhausted, stepped on the air, and pressed his hands on a stone lamp beside him, only to hear a loud "boom", Ye Boyu only felt that the sky was spinning, the stone steps under his feet were broken from the middle, and he rotated to one side, and the dense woods on both sides seemed to be constantly turning, Ye Boyu screamed, and as soon as his hand was released, he fell straight down from the stone steps.

The woman in purple stretched out her hand and grabbed the sleeve of Ye Boyu's coat, pulled out the long sword with one hand, and fixed it on the stone steps.

After turning for less than a quarter of an hour, the stone steps gradually stopped, and the trees on both sides were also enclosed together, sealing the stone steps behind them in the bushes, and the stone steps were more than ten zhang away from a blue brick house less than two people high, and the dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the plaque in the middle were written with three dark green characters "Ancestor Palace".

In front of the patriarch's hall according to the direction of the Big Dipper, there are seven dark green round copper pillars that are more than ten zhang high, the copper pillars are one zhang thick, each copper pillar is engraved with a nebula pattern, there is a huge python coiled on it, under the moonlight, I saw that each python is shining with scales, emitting a dark green light, and what is more peculiar is that each giant python has a huge horn on its head.

The giant python was tightly coiled on the copper pillar, with its huge mouth wide open, revealing a pair of white Sensen's fangs, and a huge torch embedded in its long tongue, and the torch flame was also dark green, and the faces of the two people were dark green, which was indescribably weird.

"It's not good, it's the Seven Star Pillar!" the girl in purple frowned slightly, "Why did you get to the Patriarch's Palace, it's not in the right direction." He turned his head to Ye Boyu and said, "This is the Ancestral Hall of the Bloody Clothes Hall, with heavy organs and seals, so we have to be very careful." ”

"Seal!" Ye Boyu saw that the giant python did not move for a long time, and then he saw that the original giant python was also cast in bronze, and his mind calmed down a little, and he hurriedly asked: "How do we break the seal." ”

"Break the seal! You're light, I don't have the ability to do that. Legend has it here that the seal was set up by the founding patriarch of the Blood Cloak Hall back then, and ordinary cultivators couldn't even find the seal, let alone break it!" The woman in purple glared back and groaned.
