Eighty-six trees are hidden
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The clouds are faintly scattered, and the moon is on the tip.
A ray of pure white moonlight shone through the cracks in the leaves.
Meng Shuai raised his hand in welcome, because the canopy was too dark.
He was now lying on his stomach in the canopy of an old tree. This old tree can't be hugged by five or six people, I'm afraid it is not hundreds of years old, and the canopy occupies hundreds of square meters, which is more complicated than a bush. Because there are many enemies below, and he doesn't dare to light the lamp, when will he find such a smearing rummagin?
Fortunately, the moonlight finally came down.
Through the layers of leaves, the moonlight that leaked into Meng Shuai's eyes was as weak as fluorescent light, and the leaves were still black and pressed under the moonlight, like a piece of armor made of iron cast steel, which was thick and unbeautiful.
The most difficult thing is that he climbs on the treetops, not only to pay attention to balance, but also to not make a sound. It is impossible to step on the leaves and move around without making a sound, but at least it cannot make a sound louder than the wind.
I don't know if it was his delusion, but a gust of wind blew, and the sound of horses' hooves and people was faintly heard in the wind.
Putting aside the distractions, Meng Shuai continued to climb the tree.
Suddenly, a ray of moonlight fell and reflected a little in the shade of the trees.
Reflective?
Meng Shuai was overjoyed, hurriedly took a step, stepped on a dead branch, only to hear a snap, a bang, Meng Shuai also stepped on the air, and almost fell.
Fortunately, he was agile, grabbed another branch, and barely climbed up again.
After climbing up, he stopped in the tree for a few more moments, making sure that no one noticed him from the noise just now, and then slowly climbed forward.
Five steps away...... Four Steps...... One-step......
It's here!
Meng Shuai stretched out his hand to the light, closed his five fingers, and grabbed something in his hand.
Kindness?
After Meng Shuai caught it, he immediately felt that something was wrong. Because that thing is so small.
As far as he knew, there were at least hundreds of these batches of medicinal materials that had been snatched and robbed, and even if they were in the most unrefined way, they had to wrap him in a large bag of mulberry paper. Then the box he grabbed in his hand, bigger than a fist and smaller than a palm, could be held with one hand.
What is it, is it the wrong thing? It is an ordinary fruit, a bird's nest or even a ...... Guano?
But then he decided no.
The box is square, you can know it when you touch it, and then when you look at it in front of you, you can see that it is a box carved from a whole piece of black jade, with a lustrous luster, and it is the size of a box where you put a bracelet. When Meng Shuai was concentrating, he could see an alternative gray light above the box.
Seal!
There is actually a seal on this box.
Meng Shuai was even more puzzled in his heart. If there was no seal here, he could still think that there was a clue hidden in it, but since there was a seal, it proved that this was the most precious treasure, otherwise he would not have used the seal to guard it. But where are the large number of precious good pills that are rumored outside?
In fact, Rongchang was so poor that he didn't have the money to buy a large number of pills, or he took kickbacks on all the money he made for selling pills?
Sin, sin.
For Rong Lingqi's sake, Meng Shuai still has some respect for Rong Chang's character, and he doesn't expect him to be like this. Could it be that it is not an elixir, but something more important?
Fingers swiped on the box, the fingertips clearly felt the grooves, sliding along the touch, and Meng Shuai's fingers drew a perfect circle on the lid of the box.
That's right.
Meng Shuai sat on the branch and took out two halves of the jade ring from his arms, without looking closely, he could feel that the jade ring was tightly fitted with the groove on the lid of the box, which was the key to open the mechanism.
Open it up and take a look?
Meng Shuai knew that this place was not safe, but as soon as his curiosity came up, his heart was like grass growing, and he finally couldn't help but reach out and buckle half of the jade ring on the box.
"Ahh
A scream soared into the sky.
Meng Shuai was about to put the other half on the box, but he was so frightened by this sudden voice that he almost let go, and dropped the thing, but fortunately caught it in time.
This scream seemed to open the floodgates, and it could no longer be stopped. I heard the screams one after another, like a flood bursting the embankment, and the top of the mountain was like a night owl, and there was no moment of peace.
What the hell is going on?
The scream drifted through the hill for a moment, and after a while, it gradually became quieter. The coldness and silence came up like a tidal wave again, flooding the mountains. The screams had died down.
The cold wind blew, Meng Shuai shivered, grabbed the branch, leaned against the trunk, and didn't know if he should go down.
In the mountains and forests under the trees, there seemed to be some tragedy, and listening to the screams just now, it seemed that there were more than one or two victims.
Who was the victim? The first thing that came to his mind was, of course, Takasaki and the king. They still have quite a few people under them, and it seems that they can also provide so many victims.
But who are the perpetrators? Who can kill these people and scream?
This wind, this mountain, this night, is it...... Monster?
Meng Shuai heard a few soft sounds, first puzzled, and then thought: This was the sound of his teeth chattering.
His teeth went soft with fright.
As soon as his teeth weakened, his legs weakened, and he slowly slid down the trunk of the tree, and sat silently on the branch. Let the dark foliage envelop him.
Meng Shuai was busy jamming his tiger's mouth, and his mind was a little clear. But there was no intention of standing up at all. He made up his mind to spend the night in the trees. When the sun comes out tomorrow, all the demons and monsters will disperse, right? At that time, he doesn't care what happens at night, he just needs to go down the tree and go back.
Three hours until dawn?
It's late autumn now, the days are short and the nights are long, Meng Shuai just got into the night when he came out, and now it will take at least three or four hours to get bright, and it is not easy for Meng Shuai to stay up this night.
Meng Shuai stuck the dagger in his boots and the long knife in the tree, holding it as a handle. He put the bracelet on his hand, and then took out the bag of iron lotus seeds.
When he took the lotus seeds, he took out the discarded hand crossbow as well.
It would be nice if this crossbow suddenly worked again, just like an electronic device that ran out of power, and it had power again after a while.
It seems that the things that are sealed are not so thoughtful. Meng Shuai held a crossbow in his hand and pulled the trigger, but when he heard a hoarse "click", he didn't react.
Sure enough, it still doesn't work.
Meng Shuai stroked the place where the crossbow was loaded with arrows, and felt quite strange, this crossbow is a sealing weapon, obviously there is no need for arrows, why do you need to design a bowstring like ordinary crossbow arrows?
Suddenly, Meng Shuai had an idea, broke off a branch, sharpened it into the shape of an arrow with three times and two strokes with a dagger, stuffed it into the string, and pulled the bracket.
Jumping β
As soon as the bowstring moved, it was finally shot out. But neither the sound nor the momentum is very powerful. Wooden arrows flew into the night, and then landed in a corner.
Meng Shuai tried again, this time aiming at a tree within sight. I heard the sound of a bowstring on the ground, and the wooden arrow flew out, poked straight at the tree, shook twice, and fell quietly to the ground.
From Meng Shuai's point of view, he probably didn't even hurt the bark at all. It has always been shot on people, that is, at the level of rubbing through the oily skin, unless it is shot into the eyes, otherwise it is really not lethal at all.
It's better for him to play the iron lotus seed with his hand.
Slow down......
Meng Shuai looked at the groove of the crossbow arrow - this place seems to be about the same size as the iron lotus seed?
Twist a lotus seed with your fingers and stuff it in, it's still a little astringent, but you can barely stuff it in. Of course, it is doubtful whether it can be shot, and it is likely to be as jammed as a pistol. It's just that he can't try it yet, it's not a worthless wooden arrow, with one less one, in the middle of the night, there is no place to pick it up, a good set of sealing weapons, he has to cry to death if he loses one.
Putting the crossbow stuffed with iron lotus seeds on his knees, holding the dagger in one hand and holding the branch in the other, Meng Shuai closed his eyes slightly, intending to relax his spirit.
He has been practicing the Turtle Breath Gong for a long time, and this state is the most familiar. His mind sank slowly, his breath was long, and he gradually fell into a state of emptiness.
In his half-asleep state, the mountains and forests in the distance became more and more chaotic. A roar of "vigorously opening the mountain seal" sounded in the distance, and a figure was beaten and flew up.
The three of them ran out in a chaotic footstep.
If Meng Shuai can see clearly, he can recognize that the person on the left is Gao Qi, and the person in the middle is wearing a precious brocade robe and a full beard, which is clearly the "what king". There was another person beside him, like a bodyguard.
The three of them ran wildly all the way, as if something was catching them. But as far as the eye could see, no one came after them.
The king was obviously overwhelmed, stood up for a moment, and said, "Mr. Gao, Wen Huan...... Where do you see we're going? Lao Qi is going to chase after him. β
Na Wenhuan comforted: "Your Royal Highness, don't worry. His Royal Highness King Shou has just been hit by my big stele, and now even if he is not unconscious, at least he should be injured, and his first right-hand man has also been hit by Mr. Gao's handprint, and he is either dead or injured. They...... It's never going to be so fast. β
Gao Qi nodded beside him, and said proudly: "If you hit me with a strong opening seal, no matter what kind of first-class master he is, he will never be able to retreat." β
The king wiped his forehead and said, "Yes, even if they can't catch up, it doesn't necessarily mean that there are no pursuers." There are a lot of capable people under Lao Qi, don't you see that our people were killed and injured by them three times and two times?"
Wen Huan said: "That was also their sneak attack first, and when we reacted, we also counterattacked, and their strength is now also lost." After all, this is the place where Jiang Bingzhou is, and they can't bring in many people, and the elite are all a little less dead. I think they might give up, and Mingjin will withdraw his troops. β
King Yu shook his head again and again, and said, "No, I know the temperament of the seventh man best, and he will not give up until he achieves his goal." He's going to chase him to the end, so I said I'm going to run away...... Where's the person you said was answering?"
Wen Huan said: "I have information, let's go there and wait first." "Reach out and pointβ
He was referring to the direction in which Meng Shuai was perched in the big tree.
