Chapter Forty-Nine: Exploring the Mountains
Chapter 49
As mentioned above, the people of Dongyanlou stayed in the village in the mountains, and won the trust of the villagers by virtue of their good medical skills.
On the second day, the sun rose, the birds of the mountains chirped, and the valley sounded.
Everyone got up and was treated to a lot of hospitality.
After breakfast, Congsi said goodbye to the old patriarch, saying that he would continue to go into the mountains to collect fresh herbs, or buy all kinds of strange medicines hoarded by the people along the road.
Hearing this, the old patriarch was very retained.
Knowing that the clansmen in the village had taken more than 200 taels of silver from other people yesterday, the old patriarch was furious, drank Lingge sheep and returned the people's silver, and even actively encouraged the clansmen to take out the surplus herbs collected at home and sell them to other pharmacists.
Since it was not easy to save the face of the villagers, he very understandingly left two subordinates who knew more about pharmacology to buy herbs in the village, and when they returned a few days later, they gathered together and returned the same way.
After that, Congsi and the others rode away in the warm farewell of the villagers.
There were only more than 200 kilometers left from the mountain, and they had to hurry to get there, without delay.
Two and a half days later, they finally arrived near the mountain.
In order not to startle the snake, Congsi, Mu and Yang went deep into the hinterland to investigate, and the rest stayed in the tent to wait.
……
Outside the mountains and forests, which were less than twenty miles away from the Zhuqi Mountain, the three of them quietly marched from the silk.
But they didn't walk long before they saw a lot of barren grassland and stone fields in the mountains and forests in front of them, more or less destroyed by struggle.
What's more, there was a lot of blood flowing all around, which had long since dried up and turned dark brown.
The three of them continued to check and found that a lot of clothes had fallen on the ground, but when they opened the clothes, they saw a puddle of grass-yellow liquid that had been concealed.
"These ...... What is it? Why does it look so strange? Yang Shuocheng lowered his head and sniffed it, and the strong fishy smell made him want to vomit.
Mu Wei didn't answer, but opened the rest of the clothes with Congsi, and the result was the same.
Cong Silk said: "These clothes come from different rivers and lakes, and those thick liquids that are covered up should be the result of corrosion of the human body. ”
"But I don't think it's the result of fighting each other and using poison, not to mention that there has never been such a poison in the world to corrupt hundreds of people like this."
Then, she continued: "You see, there are actually bones in the whole mountain forest. But depending on the extent of the damage, it should have been more than three or four years. ”
"So, I think there is a good chance that these people will be killed by the mountain poison."
Hearing this, Yang Shuocheng hissed: "I have heard for a long time that there are many poisonous insects and poisons in the southwest region, which can easily kill people, and now when I see it, it is very terrifying!" “
Mu Wei said: "The murderer this time is estimated to be a four-eyed poisonous bee, which is a poisonous insect raised by corpses. When the corpses are gradually corroded to the ground, they feed on the living. ”
Congsi frowned: "To be able to kill so many people, it seems that there are not a few four-eyed poisonous bees here." ”
"But after all, these people are greedy, if it weren't for the treasure of Tianning, they wouldn't have lost their lives for this."
Hearing this, Mu and Yang also sighed.
Tianning Treasure, in the eyes of outsiders, they all know that this is a conspiracy, but they didn't expect that there are still so many people who are not afraid of death, and they follow one after another.
……
The three of them continued on their way, stopping at a gentler ridge near Mount His.
I saw that at the foot of the mountain in front of me, many tents had already been set up, but when I looked closely, there was no one to guard them.
At the same time, at the foot of the mountain, many robbery holes of different depths have been dug, and the largest robbery hole is in the north direction of the mountain.
Congsi took a few serious looks again, turned around and said, "Let's go, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go back first to discuss countermeasures, and get ready to come again." ”
Hearing this, Yang Shuocheng was puzzled: "Master Jingxiao, why don't we go down and have a look?" ”
Congsi shook his head: "Those are not the entrances to the dungeon. ”
Mu Wei looked at her: "You know? ”
Congsi nodded: "When I was fourteen years old, I came once. ”
"For the Avatar Pill?" Yang Shuocheng raised his eyebrows.
Congsi nodded: "But I didn't find it, and I almost lost my life." ”
……
On the way back, Congsi no longer hid it, and told Mu and Yang in detail what happened in the underground palace.
Hearing this, the two of them were terrified, and they felt more and more that things were not simple.
Late at night, from the silk tent, several people gathered together to discuss how to enter the underground palace.
Draw a specific route map from the silk, and even mark the specific location of the arrangement.
But she was still sad: "After so many years, presumably the tomb guards have already repaired the damaged parts of the underground palace and added new traps. ”
"We have to make sure that we go in safe and sound, and then come out safe and sound, which is very difficult."
Hearing this, Wang Haiyang said: "Boss, we are very afraid!" It's a big deal to die, and pull a few grave guards on the back! ”
Congsi was silent, but Qi Yan slapped someone's head hard.
"Net love nonsense! You big and three thick things, you know a fart! ”
……
He drove the people out, extinguished the lamp, and lay quietly on the bed in thought.
If she still went to the underground palace alone, she would not be as troubled as she is today.
But now that she has many brothers with her, she knows that it is a trap, but she still jumps into the fire pit, and she can't sacrifice so many people's lives.
I don't know how long it took, but she finally fell asleep.
That night, she had nightmares again.
Under the dark underground palace, the huge stones protruding everywhere have been carved into mythical characters and beasts by capable craftsmen, and they are all vivid and vivid.
The Emperor Haoxiang, who has a human head and a dragon body, is in charge of incense all over the world, and is known as the greatest God of Wealth since the birth of the world.
The four ancient emperors who specialize in the four directions either raise their eyebrows, or look at them, or laugh, or are restrained.
On both sides of the passage into the depths of the underground palace, there are twenty-eight huge stone beasts guarding them, as if they are specially welcoming those who enter the palace.
Deep in the passage, she involuntarily entered one of the burial chambers.
The entire burial chamber is filled with objects related to gods and Buddhas, and in the center of the room, the lights are bright, and on a golden bed with golden light, there is a puppet made of ancient jade.
She raised the lamp and approached, only to see the jade puppet, looking like crying but not crying, a sadness shrouded her eyes, in the center of her eyebrows, a little red rouge mole happened to be not a coincidence, as if it was grown in the ancient jade, and it was one.
Just as she was fascinated, the jade puppet on the golden bed suddenly rolled her eyes, raised her hands and feet, turned over, and fought with her.
The jade puppet has extraordinary strength, and it has its own internal force, and when a palm is swung out, a cold breath is felt from the silk into the skin.
When he looked at the jade puppet again, he saw that its original sad and weeping eyes had already turned into a cold and murderous expression.
Seeing this, Cong Si was very shocked in his heart, but fortunately, his heart was relatively strong, and he constantly used swordsmanship in his hands to fight against it.
After a fight, Congsi and the jade puppet left the tomb one after another, passing through the passage all the way to a relatively wide internal space.
Originally, the stone statues that had been seen before appeared around unnoticed.
At this moment, Cong Si was furious, and after continuing to make dozens of moves, he smashed the jade puppet to the ground.
