Chapter 335: Black Rock City Mysterious Gu
Even if they were pulled away, those guards still rushed up and fought with Zhao Zhao, who simply tied everyone up with a magic vine.
"Tell me, what are the barbarians looking for?" She asked, looking at the caravan leader again.
"Old ...... Boss, no...... No! A guard who had been strangled by a demon vine said with difficulty.
It's a pity to no avail.
The leader of the caravan walked up to an old horse pulling a cart in a daze, took out a long knife and stabbed it fiercely on the horse's belly, cut the horse's belly, and took out a bloody object from it.
The thing was wrapped in layers of oiled paper, and when it was opened, it was a pitch-black sandalwood box.
The leader of the caravan slowly opened the wooden box, only to see a palm-sized aqua blue stone lying inside, and the moment the box was opened, a cool breath came to his face.
Seeing this stone, Zhao Zhao frowned, and shouted in disgust for no reason.
Demon Stone!
"It's a Demon Suppression Stone!" The leader of the caravan said to Zhao Zhao with a dull expression.
The Demon Suppression Stone can suppress the demonic energy, and people who practice Demon Skills don't like this kind of thing, why would a small caravan bring a Demon Suppression Stone to the border?
Besides, the Demon Suppression Stone is rare, why would an ordinary caravan have it?
So Zhao Zhao asked the doubts in his heart, and the leader of the caravan answered all questions about her at this time.
It turned out that this was not an ordinary caravan at all, but a royal master sent by the Great Zhou royal family to escort the Demon Suppression Stone to the army.
As for what it was to send the Demon Stone to the border, these guards didn't know, they just did what they were told.
After listening to the caravan leader's story, Zhao Zhao fell into deep thought, how did the secret team sent by the royal family, the barbarian side get the news?
When the leader of the caravan regained consciousness, Zhao Zhao had disappeared, and the guards hurriedly surrounded him.
"Boss, are you alright?"
The leader of the caravan didn't know what was going on, he didn't have the memory of when he was controlled by Zhaozhao, looking at the Demon Suppression Stone in his hand, he was shocked: How did I take it out?
After the other guards explained what had happened to him, he quickly put away the Demon Suppression Stone again, and then continued to rush towards the border with the team in a panic.
Two days later, Zhao Zhao stood in front of the gate of a city, and saw the three big characters "Black Stone City" carved above the city gate.
This Black Rock City is the first city in Mianzhou bordering the wilderness, and it is also the first line of the border army of the Great Zhou Dynasty to garrison the wilderness.
Crossing the moat, Zhao Zhao came to the city gate, she was about to enter, but was stopped by the sergeant defending the city, "Stop, who are you and why did you enter the city?" The sergeant asked.
As the front line of the war, Black Rock City is not prosperous, and those who enter and leave the city at this time will be known to the Communist Party, and it is inevitable that she will be interrogated.
Besides, Black Rock City is not a place where people can come and go at will.
"I'm looking for someone!" Zhao Zhao said succinctly.
"Looking for whom? Come here and get checked first! One of the sergeants said in a gruff voice.
He held a compass in his hand, which was a unique prop in the Great Zhou army, which could be used to detect the identity of the demon path and the barbarians.
The method of examination is also very simple, the person being examined only needs to drop a drop of blood in the center of the compass, if it is a barbarian, the compass will emit a green light, and if it is a person who has cultivated the magic skills, the compass will emit a black light.
Of course, this kind of prop can only detect low-level cultivators, and high-level cultivators can easily pass the level through special means.
Zhao Zhao obediently walked up to the sergeant, looking like he was going to be honestly inspected by the sergeant, but in fact, he saw a slight red light flashing in her eyes, and the sergeant was immediately taken away from his mind the moment he looked at her.
"Is it okay?" Zhao Zhao asked.
"Yes, no problem." The sergeant said dumbfounded.
In this way, Zhao Zhao swaggered into the city.
In fact, Zhao Zhao has the token given by Changyue in her hand, as long as the token is displayed, she can easily enter the city without being inspected at all.
But Zhaozhao has a perverse temperament and is not a person who likes to follow normal rules.
Not long after Zhao Zhao entered the city, the people of the caravan also rushed to Black Rock City.
After entering the city, Zhao Zhao looked around the scene in the city, unlike the ordinary city, there were no vendors selling along the streets, and there were no restaurants and tiles that sang and danced, and there were only teams of patrol guards with strong temperament.
The atmosphere in the city was very tense, and everyone Zhao Zhao saw was in a hurry, and he didn't know if the atmosphere in the city was already like this, or if the situation had been tense recently.
She did not wander around the city, but according to the address given by Zhou Jinchun, she found a mansion in front of it, only to see the plaque on the door of the mansion with the words "General's Mansion" written on it.
Seeing Zhao Zhao stop and watch, the guard in front of the General's Mansion immediately scolded: "The idlers are scattered as soon as possible, don't stay here." ”
Zhao Zhao glanced at him, and the man was immediately frozen in place.
"It's rumored that your princess, her uncle is here!"
Hearing this, the guard ran into the general's mansion with a crawl, and after a while, he saw a group of people hurriedly walking out of the general's mansion, and the person who led it was Zhou Jinchun, the ninth princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Compared with before, Zhou Jinchun has darkened a lot, but his face is more resolute and his temperament is more calm.
When Zhou Jinchun heard the report that her uncle was here, she originally came out to meet her happily, but when she saw the person standing in front of the door, she looked confused, "Who are you?" ”
Zhao Zhao walked towards the general's mansion and said, "Luo Qingyi can't come if she has something, I'll go for her, you can just call me uncle!" As she spoke, she threw a token that could prove her identity into Zhou Jinchun's arms.
"Yes, Uncle Shi!" After confirming that the token was real, Zhou Jinchun hurriedly followed.
"Uncle Shi, do you want to rest? Or would you like to arrange a place for you to rest? Zhou Jinchun asked.
Zhao Zhao glanced at Zhou Jinchun, saw that her face was a little pale, and suddenly stopped and asked, "Are you injured?" ”
Zhou Jinchun was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "I have suffered some minor injuries, and I won't get in the way!" ”
Zhao Zhao grabbed her wrist, probed the pulse and said, "Hurt the heart, and say that it was a minor injury?" Now you can't even move your true qi, right? ”
The moment Zhao Zhao's true qi entered Zhou Jinchun's body, Zhou Jinchun found that this uncle's cultivation was actually the same sect and origin as himself, and his heart suddenly became more intimate with her.
Zhaozhao: "Arrange a quiet room!" ”
"Yes!" Zhou Jinchun replied respectfully.
After the quiet room was arranged, Zhao Zhao took Zhou Jinchun to heal his injuries, and when the two of them came out of the quiet room again, Zhou Jinchun's face was already much better.
"Don't cultivate for a short period of time, don't use your true qi, and cultivate for a while." Zhao Zhao instructed Zhou Jin to be pure.
"Yes, thank you, uncle!" Zhou Jinchun thanked Zhao Zhao gratefully.
Zhao Zhao waved his hand and said, "Didn't you say that the situation of the eldest princess is very bad?" Take me to see it! ”
Zhou Jinchun hesitated: "Uncle Shi, why don't you go and rest first?" The situation of the eldest sister is not a day or two, and she is not in a hurry for this time. ”
"Take me to see it, it's just a rush, and I'm not going to be tired." Zhao Zhao snorted lightly.
"Yes, then Uncle Shi is coming with me!"
Under the leadership of Zhou Jinchun, Zhao Zhao came to the courtyard where Zhou Jinxu lived, pushed open the door and walked in, the strong smell of medicine came to his face, and Zhao Zhao saw Zhou Jinxu lying on the bed at a glance.
The situation is really bad.
She looked around the room and said, "Open all the windows." ”
The maid in the room hesitated a little when she heard this, and turned her eyes to Zhou Jinchun, who was standing behind Zhao Zhao.
Seeing this, Zhou Jinchun frowned and said, "Look at what I'm doing, I don't do what Uncle Shi said!" ”
"Yes, princess!"
When the maids heard this, they hurriedly opened all the windows.
After the window opened, Zhao Zhao waved his sleeves, and the air flow swept through the room, and the unpleasant smell in the room suddenly disappeared.
After doing this, she walked to Zhou Jinxu's bed, only to see Zhou Jinxu lying unconscious on it.
If it weren't for Zhou Jinchun saying that the person in front of him was Zhou Jinxu, Zhao Zhao would almost not be able to connect her with the bright and sassy beauty at the beginning.
Changyue has seen Zhou Jinxu, and Zhaozhao, who has all the memories of Changyue, naturally knows what Zhou Jinxu looked like in the past, not the old woman in front of her, who is as thin as wood and even has all her hair falling out.
Zhao Zhao checked Zhou Jinxu's pulse, and checked her whole body with true qi, and then turned to Zhou Jinchun in surprise and asked, "Is your eldest imperial sister practicing magic skills?" ”
Zhou Jinchun shook his head, "How is it possible!" The eldest emperor's sister is practicing the Zhou family's ancestral "Dragon Divine Power Xuanjian", which is not a magic skill. ”
"Then why ......," Zhao Zhao frowned.
All the functions of Zhou Jinxu's body are aging, but except for the demonic energy in the dantian, Zhao Zhao has not found any other abnormalities.
Zhou Jinchun understood why Uncle Shi was puzzled, so he explained: "Not long ago, the eldest sister suddenly had a change in her body, and her true qi quickly transformed into demonic qi, and I and the military physician tried our best to suppress it, but now the eldest sister looks no different from the demon cultivator, and we don't know the reason."
There are also several generals in the army who are in a similar situation to the eldest imperial sister, and I am afraid that they will become the same as the eldest imperial sister in the future. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Zhao fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, the butterfly wings in her hair trembled slightly, and then a blood-colored butterfly flew out, it was the Black God Gu.
I saw the Black God Gu waving its wings and flying directly above Zhou Jinxu, spinning back and forth at the head of her bed, as if warning something.
"Uncle Shi, this is ......" Zhou Jinchun looked at the black god Gu and asked suspiciously.
Zhao Zhao didn't answer Zhou Jinchun, but looked at Zhou Jinxu and fell into deep thought, the Black God Gu was the Gu King, and it could cause it to react......
After dancing for a while, the Black God Gu slowly landed at the position of Zhou Jinxu's heart.
Zhao Zhao seemed to think of something, and suddenly she stretched out her two fingers and quickly tapped them twice on Zhou Jinxu's body, and then took out another pill and stuffed it into Zhou Jinxu's mouth.
Finally, in the horrified eyes of everyone, Zhao Zhao tapped the magic lantern lever, controlled the magic vine to break through Zhou Jinxu's chest, and pulled out her heart.
"Ahhh!!h
When the bloody heart was held in the palm of Zhao Zhao's hand, the maid next to him screamed in horror, and Zhao Zhao shouted angrily in disappointment: "Shut up! ”
The maid's screams stopped abruptly, and she rolled her eyes and fainted to the ground.
Zhou Jinchun frowned and said to the other two maids: "Drag people down!" ”
The two maids immediately carried the unconscious maid out in a panic.
At this time, the Black God Gu quickly flew above the heart like an afterimage, and its slender mouthparts shot out sharply, straight into one of the blood vessels of the heart.
In the next second, a blood-colored insect the size of a fingernail was pulled out by the Black God Gu.
"Squeak Squeak!!" The insects let out a sharp cry, and Zhou Jinchun subconsciously covered his ears.
After being exposed, the insect still wanted to escape, but how could it escape from the palm of a Gu King, and the next second it was pierced by the mouthparts of the Black God Gu, and after falling to the ground, it struggled twice and then stopped moving.
Zhou Jinchun looked at the blood-colored insect corpse on the ground in horror and asked, "Uncle Shi, what is this?" ”
"Gu worm!" Zhao Zhao said word by word, and it was a Gu worm that she had never heard of, no wonder the military doctor couldn't check the results anyway.
"The abnormality of the eldest sister is all due to this little Gu worm?" Zhou Jinchun was surprised.
"It should be so, but the strength of the Gu worm is not determined by its size!" Zhao Zhao said.
After speaking, she walked back to the bed, took off Zhou Jinxu's clothes, then took out one prop after another, and reloaded the heart for her.
The reason why she wanted to take out Zhou Jinxu's heart and then get rid of the Gu worm with lightning speed was because she was worried that the Gu worm would escape from the heart and enter other parts of Zhou Jinxu's body, and then it would be difficult to catch it, and it would also put Zhou Jinxu in danger.
This Gu worm seems to have a special means of concealment, and it is difficult to detect its existence with ordinary methods, if it weren't for the presence of the Gu King of the Black God Gu, it would be difficult for even Zhao Zhao to find it.
After stitching up the wound for Zhou Jinxu, and feeding it with medicine that would help him recover from the injury, Zhao Zhao turned around and picked up the corpse of the Gu worm on the ground, she had to study it carefully, and she didn't know if the demonic energy in Zhou Jinxu's body had anything to do with it.
"Uncle Shi, is my eldest sister okay?" Zhou Jinchun asked.
Zhao Zhao shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, the source of the demonic qi in her body hasn't been figured out yet, wait until I study it!" ”
Zhou Jinchun said apologetically: "I've caused trouble to my uncle." ”
Zhao Zhao shook her head, in fact, she didn't feel troublesome, on the contrary, she was very interested in this Gu worm and the changes in Zhou Jinxu's body.
Who the hell would have done that, she really wanted to meet that person!
Just then, a soldier ran in in a panic.
"Princess, it's not good, it's not good!"
Seeing this, Zhou Jinchun scolded: "What kind of system is it to shout? ”
The soldier quickly shut up.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Jinchun asked.
"Princess, little general, something happened to them!" The soldier replied with an anxious face, "They have the same demonic aura on them as the Celestial Princess!" ”
Zhou Jinchun's face suddenly changed when he heard this, "I'll take a look!" Saying that, she looked at Zhao Zhao again, "Uncle Shi, I'll come when I go." ”
Zhao Zhao thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you." "Isn't this a good opportunity to observe cases!
Zhou Jinchun said gratefully: "There is Uncle Lao!" ”
Then Zhao Zhao was taken to the army camp by Zhou Jinchun.
