Chapter Sixty-Nine: Infernal Purgatory, in Exchange for This World
Chu Wenruo had just stepped on the shore, and was stunned when he heard this, and then his face changed suddenly.
She looked in the direction of the little princess.
The first thing I saw was the six-armed corpse hidden in the reeds.
The corpse was kneeling in the dirt, head bowed, long hair hanging down, and skin covered in scale-like black lines, most of which had completely decayed and hollowed out.
But the strange thing is that apart from the faint smell of blood, there is no stench of decomposing corpses, but a strange smell.
If you look closely, you will find that the corpse has a scar the size of a bowl on both shoulders.
Combined with the corpse's six arms, it is not difficult to imagine that there should have been two more heads in this scar.
Three heads and six arms, with a strange fragrance.
It's like the Dharma of Buddhism.
It's weird!
In particular, the corpse's six arms were all held forward, as if they were holding the sword and trying to sacrifice it to someone.
At this moment, the sword was held by the little princess, and it was instantly pulled out of the corpse's hand.
Qing Cuo was shocked in her heart, she didn't even notice the existence of this corpse, which was almost impossible for her.
There's something wrong with this corpse, and it's a big problem!
She reacted, immediately dodged and grabbed the sword, shouting, "Put it down!" ”
Chu Wenruo was also busy rushing forward to stop it, and said anxiously: "Don't take it!" ”
As a result, his feet slipped and he fell into a strong knot.
But both were too late.
As the little princess spoke, she had already drawn her long sword.
She said happily: "Mother, look, sword, I will use the sword to protect my mother!" ”
The long sword had a strange shape, the center was hollowed out like a narrow eye, and a red orb was inlaid at the pupil, and the moment it was pulled out, the entire sword turned into a bloody light in an instant, and rushed into the little princess's eyebrows.
And the rotting corpse actually raised its head, revealing a white and flawless woman's face.
The eyes on that face were pitch black, and a dreamy smile emerged.
The corpse spoke, and a beautiful and gentle voice echoed like a hollow, and chanted:
"Too illusory, infernal purgatory, the sun and the moon are the same day, change this world."
After that, the whole corpse turned into dust and sand and collapsed to the ground in an instant.
And the little princess's big smile froze, her eyes rolled, and she fainted straight.
Qingcuo, who was a step late, stretched out his hand and caught the little princess.
Chu Wenruo hurriedly got up, couldn't take care of the mud all over his body, and reached out helplessly to hold the little princess's face, tears came out of his eyes.
"Ying'er, Ying'er, don't scare your mother, wake up."
She collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, her eyes looked at the sword at Qingcuo's waist with empty eyes, her lips twitched a few times, as if she had an idea, and gritted her teeth.
Qingcuo immediately used her aura to probe the little princess's physical condition, but she found nothing, she frowned and looked at the pile of sand next to her.
Weird corpses, weird swords, and what the hell?!
"Qingcuo! I've finally found you! ”
The familiar voice of a young man suddenly came from not far away, and then a large turtle swept away the reeds and swam to the shore.
On the back of the turtle sat a man and a woman.
It was Chen Kuang and Shen Meinan.
Chen Kuang was originally breathing a sigh of relief, and finally found the three of Qingcuo without danger and successfully converged.
And all three appear to be intact.
But then he noticed that Chu Wenruo was embarrassed, and the little princess seemed to have fainted.
"Ma'am?"
Chen Kuang had a sense of foreboding and immediately jumped ashore.
"What's going on?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Chu Wenruo was suddenly shocked and threw himself into his arms.
Shen Meinan, who was on the side, instantly widened his eyes, looked at Chen Kuang, and then looked at Chu Wenruo's sallow yellow cheeks with pear blossoms and rain.
……
"I see......"
Chen Kuang looked at the few people in front of him with a little headache.
Together with Qingcuo, he found an abandoned thatched hut on the shore and cleaned it up as a temporary resettlement.
It was supposed to be the residence of a former fisherman, and there were some dilapidated fishing gear hanging from the house.
The bed in the hut had also collapsed, so Chen Kuang could only remove the wooden planks and lay some straw and rags so that the little princess could have a place to lie.
Qingcuo originally brought spare clothes and changed them for Chu Wenruo.
The latter finally calmed down a lot, but his face was still anxious: "Mr. Chen, what's wrong with Ying'er now......
Chen Kuang rubbed his eyebrows: "I'm afraid this is the demon sword that Qi Sibai is looking for." ”
Shen Meinan had been walking with Lin Eryou and others for a month before, so he naturally knew the "demon sword" that Qi Sibai mentioned when he saw someone.
She said incredulously: "Qi Sibai searched for this demon sword for three whole years, and then he found Dongting Lake, but you only came for a day, and you directly bumped into ......"
I really don't know if this is good luck or bad luck.
Of course, Shen Meinan just thought silently in his heart about this sentence.
The real victim is next to her, and she would be so stupid to say that.
The girl couldn't help but shift her gaze to Chu Wenruo, thinking of the appearance of the latter throwing himself into Chen Kuang's arms without hesitation just now, she felt a little depressed.
Moved his ass away from Chen Kuang.
Chen Kuang let out a breath: "It's just a possibility now." ”
However, Chen Kuang had a vague premonition in his heart, and this should probably be.
And preferably.
If it was the demon sword, then at least there was a professional who could ask and ask for help.
Otherwise, that's the real trouble.
He had already asked Shen Xingzhu what the situation was just now, but even this Daoist of the Xuanshen Dao Sect was helpless about it, and he had already gone to ask her master at this moment.
If Qi Sibai couldn't do it......
The little princess has been in a coma, which is a good result.
According to their description of the situation at the time, the corpse was not a monster, maybe it was killed by the demon sword.
If the little princess becomes like that, Chen Kuang doesn't need to escort her anymore, just wash and sleep......
Chu Wenruo looked at Chen Kuang and reached out to grab his sleeve tightly: "Mr. Chen, what should I do now?" ”
Chen Kuang patted Chu Wenruo's back and comforted: "I can only stay in Dongting Lake for a while." ”
Fortunately, Shen Xingzhu's sword swept through the air and extinguished the wind and rain building.
Now that the Martial Saint Pavilion is in Jishao County, it has temporarily lost its control, and the pressure of chasing and killing is not particularly great, as long as it is avoided from people's eyes, there is no problem with staying for a short time.
"When I settle down, I'll go to Xianyuan to find Qi Sibai and ask him."
Qingcuo skillfully lit a fire and put a few fish on the firewood.
She paused and asked, "Where do you settle down?" Now that the indoctrination officer of the Zhou State has arrived, from top to bottom, they should have been arrested, and any place where there are people is equivalent to danger. ”
"It's better to be in the wild."
Chen Kuang picked up a wooden stick and picked up firewood, sighed, and glanced at Chu Wenruo.
"There's nothing wrong with you, but it's only been three days of running, and Madame is already haggard to this point, and I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it if I live in the wilderness again."
"At that time, it will be even more troublesome to get sick and injured."
Qingcuo was speechless for a while.
She really didn't take it into account.
"And where else can I go?"
Chen Kuang threw the wooden stick into the fire and said, "Go to my house." ”
Shen Meinan was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes lit up instantly, and he came to his senses: "Your family? ”
She quietly moved her ass back again, curious, "Where is your home?" ”
Chen Kuang said with a smile: "It's not far from Dongting Lake. ”
……
She woke up in a daze, and was in front of her mother's haggard and pale face.
Chu Wenruo frowned, his sleep was very light, and he hugged her tightly in his arms.
She was stunned, and saw that her mother was wearing clothes that were not quite right, not the rough clothes of fishermen, but the long Aya Luo skirt when she was in the palace.
"Mother, mother."
She pushed gently, and Chu Wenruo immediately woke up, hugged her with some trepidation, and whispered, "Ying'er, what's wrong?" ”
Chu Wenruo said: "Are you hungry?" Mother, there is still half a steamed bun. ”
Chu Wenruo took out half of the shriveled steamed bun from his arms and handed it to her.
She looked at the steamed bun with a blank expression.
How can there be steamed buns? Don't you eat wild vegetables at night?
She turned her head and saw a familiar cell.
The surrounding area was filthy and foul-smelling, and the wails and moans of the prisoners came and went.
She suddenly panicked in her heart, and hurriedly got up from Chu Wenruo, and subconsciously stumbled towards the next door.
The young man who saved them, the blind man who would give her food......
She was relieved to see the man half-sitting next to him, and reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
The sleeve slid the man's body downward, revealing a familiar face covered in blood.
The face was wide-eyed, and his expression was hideous.
It's Chen Kuang.
It's not Chen Kuang.
This is the body of Chen Kuang, who has long been dead.
Chu Wenruo hurriedly covered her eyes from behind, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't look at Ying'er." ”
She asked in a daze, "Mother, who is this?" ”
Chu Wenruo said: "This is your father's musician...... Frightened excessively, this morning, the high fever did not go away, and he died. ”
