Chapter 50: Danger
Chapter 50
She woke up from her dream in the middle of the night.
At this time, the wind outside is getting stronger, and the surrounding temperature is also plummeting.
Suddenly, it began to rain in the sky, and the sound of the rain dripping was very clear and loud.
After the thunder roared, Congsi turned over and tried to suppress everything he recalled in the dream just now.
The storm has come, and it seems that there is no way to avoid it.
……
It was also late at night, in a stone temple deep inside the mountains.
A middle-aged man with a serious face knelt on a mat, drinking tea slowly and methodically, while playing chess calmly.
Not far away, two brown-clad men were reporting on the matter.
"It's all done?" The middle-aged man asked.
The two subordinates bowed their heads: "Returning to the patriarch, it's all done." ”
"Hmm." The middle-aged man nodded.
Then, he continued: "There must be no mistake in sending the letter to the king of Miao Jiang. ”
Two of his subordinates obeyed: "Yes! Patriarch! ”
After the two left, the man who was kneeling and drinking tea and playing chess finally smiled coldly.
It is finally half of the major events they have planned for a hundred years to be completed.
This person is the only grandson of the deposed prince of the previous dynasty, Xiao Huajian.
……
It rained heavily last night, but this morning the sky is still clear and cloudless.
The people of Dongyan Building prepared the things and set off under the order.
Due to the dense mountains ahead, it was inconvenient to ride horses, so everyone had to walk on foot.
When I went to the forest I checked yesterday, I didn't expect to see it today, and there were smelly and rotten corpses all over the ground.
And the stumps and broken bones are even denser.
Some of his subordinates who couldn't bear it all vomited one after another, almost not spitting out the bitter water.
Wang Haiyang and Qi Yan couldn't help it, but they still didn't leave Congsi's side for half a step.
"Chief, ......?"
Congsi's face was cold: "It wasn't yesterday, it seems that it was late at night, and someone deliberately threw it here." ”
Qi Yan frowned: "So, they want to use this to intimidate us?!" ”
Congsi nodded: "It's almost, but the main thing is provocation." ”
"It seems that they are very confident and know that I will definitely go, so they are so arrogant."
On the side, Yang Shuocheng's face was also quite bad: "It's really giving them face!" Look at the master and not destroy his treasure in two days! ”
Yang Shuocheng glanced at him: "Don't be afraid of flashing your tongue when you say big things, when the time comes, it is estimated that it will be too late for someone to escape." ”
Hearing this, Yang Shuocheng was anxious: "Mu Wei! Are you from our side!? ”
Hearing the word "we", the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
She said to Yang Shuocheng: "Hurry up, don't you stink!?" ”
In an instant, Yang Shuocheng closed his mouth and hurriedly followed the crowd.
An hour later, everyone finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Looking up, I saw that the whole mountain was towering and boundless, majestic, and the red rhododendrons of the four seasons all over the mountains grew wantonly, dyeing the whole mountain range red, as if this was the world of blood.
Dongyanlou and his party stood here in a slight corner, already feeling small.
"Why are there so many azaleas here, all red? Isn't there a little bit of hybridization? Qi Yan muttered.
Mu Wei's expression was solemn: "Everything grows with its own meaning, and it can change its own form with the changes of the years." ”
"But the people here can only see red."
From the silk nodded in agreement.
Years ago, she came here, and it was so red, enchanting, and dangerous.
And now, the pomp and circumstance in front of him is even more than before, and it seems that he is deliberately waiting for their arrival.
"Let's go, grab your things, and go into the dungeon." He sighed in his heart.
The crowd followed the footsteps of Congsi and walked around the mountain, which was full of gravel and thorns, and steep, and it took half an hour to reach a relatively gentle hillside due south.
I saw that under the hillside, a temple was built, which looked relatively old and dilapidated.
After descending the hill, everyone finally arrived at the gate of the temple.
Looking up at the door plaque, the two "ancestral temples" with sharp strokes appeared in front of him.
For this ancestral temple of the previous dynasty, it is only briefly mentioned in the history books.
If it weren't for the fact that it led to the underground palace, people from the outside world would really think that it was just a simple temple.
Opening the gate made of ancient wood, with a puff of dust scattering, the situation in the temple finally appeared one by one.
The entire ancestral temple is centered on the ancient pagoda, and the other halls and pavilions are distributed in front and back, forming a square courtyard.
Stepping into the courtyard, the tall trees on both sides are still vibrant, and many of the branches are low and drooping, blocking a large area of sunlight.
The fallen leaves accumulated under the feet are not known how many years old, and when you step on it, it suddenly creaks.
"Looks like no one has been here in a long time." Mu Wei carefully observed the surroundings.
But as soon as the voice fell, I don't know why, arrows suddenly shot around and distributed like dense rain.
"Be careful!"
"Ahh What's going on! ”
"Lord! Save me! ”
People were constantly being shot down by arrows, and blood flowed.
But when you look at the silk, the blood is black when it comes out.
Immediately, she shouted: "The arrow is poisonous, everyone be careful!" Duck behind a tree! ”
Hearing this, some of those who were weaker in kung fu hurriedly ran behind the broad trunks, leaving Congsi and others to cover in place.
The rain of arrows came towards her, and she saw her swing the long sword in her hand, and her figure formed a shadow, constantly cutting down flying arrows.
And the rest of the people around them did the same, constantly dodging and cutting off the tips of arrows.
After a long while, the rain of arrows finally stopped, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Yan asked, "Master, what's going on?!" ”
Congsi's face was extremely bad: "The fallen leaves on the ground are too thick, I can't see the road, and someone accidentally guessed that there are mechanical floor tiles, which caused a rain of arrows." ”
Immediately, she snorted coldly.
"It seems that in the past few years, they have really prepared a lot of good things, waiting to collect people's lives!"
Mu Wei glanced at the people hiding behind the tree: "The way to the back of the tree is safe, and I will fly into the hall from that side later." ”
After all, the accumulated fallen leaves are too thick, and it will not work to get rid of the dodge mechanism little by little, and it will take too much time.
Congsi nodded: "It can only be so." ”
But as soon as she finished speaking, her subordinates hiding behind the big tree suddenly screamed in pain.
"Lord! Don't come here! There are poisonous insects here! ”
I saw dense brown insects crawling down from the top of the tree trunk, and they bit people when they saw them.
Congsi's face became more and more ugly, and he took out a few bottles from the wooden box behind him, and flew over the ancient tree.
She moved quickly and threw her injured brothers one by one in the direction of the courtyard.
"Show them, there's medicine in that box next to it!"
She then ordered the rest of the people who had not been bitten to leave quickly.
I saw more and more insects on the tree, and from the cold eyes of the silky eyes, he quickly opened the mouth of the bottle and sprinkled the unknown liquid in the bottle on the trunk.
In an instant, the originally arrogant poisonous insect was corroded into a puddle of liquid.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many fallen leaves here, it would not be suitable to burn them, otherwise, she would have killed them directly.
Perhaps because the smell of the things spilled from the silk was too strong and too strong, many poisonous insects did not dare to climb down easily, and they hesitated.
After a while, I saw that these poisonous insects returned one after another and stopped biting.
Seeing this, Congsi breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned around to check on the injured people.
……
The brother who was bitten by the poisonous insect turned blue and black at this time, and kept shivering.
Mu Wei and others diagnosed and treated him, but the toxicity was too strong, and before he could treat it, someone died of poison.
Some of those who were slightly bitten on their hands and feet could only be cut off in pain to save their lives.
Those who survived, Congsi and the others carried them to the temple, and while giving them medicine, they bandaged them.
"Boss, leave us alone, hurry up and enter the dungeon, otherwise ......"
Before he finished speaking, Congsi interrupted his subordinates.
"Wait until the bandaging is finished, you can rest."
Everyone hadn't seen such a gloomy and terrifying face of the chief master for a long time, and they no longer dared to speak, so they could only be quiet.
For a moment, in the entire hall, only the injured people let out a cry of pain.
