Chapter 140: The Secret of the Mountain Behind the General's Mansion
The night is windy, and the moon is shining.
The moonlight is very good tonight, and the wisps of light reflect on the prince's mansion, like a virtual light veil, which is as beautiful as a fairyland on earth.
The two figures were sneaking out of the prince's mansion unconsciously.
Both of them were dressed in night clothes, covering the whole person from head to toe, revealing only one face, and Gu Liuxi also deliberately made her big double eyelids into single eyelids in case anyone recognized her.
Their purpose is precisely the mountain behind the General's Mansion.
Behind the General's Mansion is surrounded by mountains, behind the mountain is a large area of deep forest, it is very difficult to go up the mountain from other places, there is almost no possibility, as long as the General's Mansion is a shortcut.
No one will know why the General's Mansion is on such a fringe of Cangdu, only that since they knew that there was this General's Mansion, it has always been there, and no one knows why.
For thousands of years, the General's Mansion has been located in this place.
Gu Liuxi and they want to go to the back mountain, they must enter the general's mansion.
The General's Mansion is heavily guarded, and the guards are like clouds, and it is not that anyone can come in if they say they can come in.
Although Gu Liuxi's days in the General's Mansion were not long, he basically remembered the places he had walked.
She took Chi Heng to sneak into the General's Mansion quietly, hiding behind the big tree in the backyard, there seemed to be more guards in the General's Mansion, almost twice as many as before she left, maybe it was because of Gu Xiyan's incident, and the guards in the General's Mansion have never been less.
This place, the previous guards would not have appeared, but I didn't expect that even this place is patrolled now.
It seems that the General's Mansion does have some ulterior secrets.
She didn't know exactly what this secret was, but it was certain that there must be an unknown secret hidden behind the General's Mansion.
Why is there a giant snake that eats people in the back mountain, why is there a fierce lonely ghost and that strange man in the back mountain?
The secret of all this is in the back mountain, so the back mountain is the only place where you can find the evidence.
There were so many guards that they couldn't get in at all.
Gu Liuxi and Chi Heng hid behind the big tree and waited for a long time, there was a group of people guarding the entrance of the back mountain, and there were constantly patrols patrolling everywhere, and it was difficult to fly in.
There's no way for them to go on like this.
Chi Heng Shuixie said that it was up to him to distract those people's attention and let Gu Liuxi sneak in first.
Gu Liuxi knew that she didn't know martial arts, she knew that he would affect Chi Heng, and she didn't refute his words, but felt that it was a good strategy.
Taking advantage of the patrol's past, Chi Heng showed up and went out to lure away the guards guarding the entrance, and Gu Liuxi was waiting for the opportunity to go in at this time, after Chi Heng lured people away, he would go in to meet her as soon as possible.
When discussing the countermeasures, Chi Heng went out and flashed in front of those guards, and sure enough, those guards chased after him.
Gu Liuxi took advantage of the fact that the guards were chasing Chi Heng, and saw the opportunity to enter the back mountain.
Perhaps the moon was too bright tonight, and she quickly found the entrance to the back mountain.
Although there is moonlight, it still makes people feel a little dark.
Gu Liuxi stubbornly walked in, and it was actually the dense bamboo forest again, and the bamboo leaves rustled under the wind, like a person screaming.
Gu Liuxi trembled, swallowed his saliva, and slowly raised his steps and walked inside.
This place, it's like a labyrinth.
That's where she met the big and small ghosts.
Thinking of the big and small ghosts, Gu Liuxi felt that her neck was cold, for some reason, she felt that coming in this time was not the same as the last time Gu Xiyan came in, but she couldn't tell what was the difference.
It felt like it was quiet, as if the calm before the storm was coming.
It makes people feel very uneasy, from the first step here, she has a feeling of fear for some reason, that fear comes from the fear in her heart, and she always feels that there is something here that makes her feel afraid.
Click-
I stepped on a bamboo pole under my feet, and the bamboo pole broke in half.
"You're finally here..."
A voice that seemed to come from a hell demon suddenly sounded in Gu Liuxi's ears, and the voice was low and cold, which inexplicably made people feel chills in their hearts.
"Who... Who's here? ”
Gu Liuxi looked around quickly, and by the moonlight cast overhead, she couldn't see a single figure, but the voice kept echoing in her ears, as if it was right next to her, and it seemed to be very far away.
"You're finally here..."
That voice kept reverberating.
Gu Liuxi was originally relatively bold, alone in such a gloomy place, if it weren't for Gu Xiyan, she would have turned around early in the morning and wouldn't come to this place again, even if there was a big secret here, she didn't want to explore, she didn't want to know.
She just wanted to get out of here safely and go back to her own world.
This place is too dangerous, and she wants to get back to Earth as soon as possible.
As soon as he thought of completing the task and going home, Gu Liuxi instantly summoned up a full of courage, and yelled majestically around, "Who the hell is pretending to be a ghost, there is a kind of aunt and grandmother." She had a fixation spell and set him for three or five days, and she didn't dare to pretend to be a ghost in front of her.
The wind rustled, but the sound suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
There was silence around, nothing.
Gu Liuxi heard the sound of her own heartbeat and fluttered.
"Konishi ......"
A hand suddenly put on Gu Liuxi's shoulder.
Gu Liuxi gave him a fixing spell against the conditions, and Chi Heng kept maintaining the posture of stretching out his hand.
Gu Liuxi turned around and saw that it was Chi Heng, she was too nervous just now, and she didn't see clearly that the person who came came out of the anti-condition fixation spell.
"Chizi, how could it be you, scared me to death."
Gu Liuxi patted his chest in shock.
Chi Heng blinked, wanted to move but found that his body couldn't move at all, and couldn't help but say, "What did you do to me, why can't I move?" ”
"Solution..."
Gu Liuxi recited the mantra towards Chi Heng, and Chi Heng slowed his body.
"Konishi, you ......"
"Don't ask about this yet, I'll explain it to you later, okay? Let's hurry up now to find out if there is any trace left by Gu Xiyan..."It's not that Gu Liuxi doesn't want to explain, it's just that it's very troublesome to explain, and it's important to get down to business first.
"Good..."
Chi Heng knew that this was an extraordinary time, and he didn't force Gu Liuxi.
Because he has always believed in her, inexplicably believing in her.
Not only because she is his savior, but because she herself has an unconditional and convincing charm that makes people can't help but believe in her, rely on her, and trust her.
The two walked into the depths of the bamboo forest and came to the place where she had met the giant snake and Gu Yanshi.
Tonight, there was no fog, but Gu Liuxi remembered this place very much, because she couldn't see anything at that time, the fog was too big at that time, and she was tracking all the way to the sound of the giant snake dragging by, because she couldn't see at that time, so her hearing and surrounding perception were particularly sensitive, and she vaguely remembered the traces of the place she had groped, that is, this place was right.
She also found out that Gu Xiyan was missing before she was here, and she followed Gu Yanshi to the cave at the beginning.
Gu Yanshi came out of the cave on the way, that is to say, Gu Yanshi's motive is likely to be at that time.
According to his memory, Gu Liuxi still found the cave, the bones of a giant snake in the cave, after a few months, the body of the giant snake has been corrupted, leaving only a skeleton, the faint light shines in, it looks a little dark.
Thinking that she had drunk the blood of this giant snake at the beginning, Gu Liuxi felt a wave of nausea and disgust in her stomach and wanted to vomit, if it weren't for the extraordinary period, she wouldn't drink its blood!
Gu Liuxi went all the way and told Chi Heng all the things he encountered at that time word for word.
The two of them entered the cave, the hole was not very large, and the skeleton was particularly eye-catching.
Chi Heng saw a huge skeleton and immediately stepped forward, he was a snake clan, and he was naturally very familiar with the smell of snakes, even if it was a dead snake, the smell of a snake could not be changed.
He stepped forward, crouched down in front of the skeleton, stretched out his hand and touched it, and then was startled.
This giant snake is actually a spirit snake.
The spirit snake is a kind of snake that can help the cultivation of living beings.
The ordinary spirit snake can not only absorb the essence of the sun and the moon by itself, but its blood also has the effect of prolonging life without invading a hundred poisons.
This kind of spirit snake is a very rare species, and there are hardly more than ten of them in this world.
And the spirit snake in front of him knew at a glance that it had been cultivating for more than a hundred years, and it was really a pity and a waste to die in this place.
However, then again, why would anyone raise a spirit snake here, and who killed the spirit snake!
Gu Liuxi couldn't help frowning when he saw that Chi Heng not only caressed the bones of a snake with his hands, but also showed a very pity look, "Chi Zi, what are you looking at, a dead snake, what's so beautiful?" ”
Chi Heng withdrew his hand and shook his head, "Do you know what kind of snake this is?" ”
Gu Liuxi shook his head, isn't it just a big black snake? However, she really didn't know what this snake was called.
Chi Heng began to explain, "This is a spirit snake, if some creatures or soul bodies want to cultivate a human body, relying on the spirit snake is a shortcut, because this spirit snake can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, which is very helpful for cultivation, however, this kind of snake is very rare, I didn't expect that there are people here who raise this kind of snake, which means that someone or demon is cultivating magic... Do you remember the youkai who tried to kill you in prison? ”
Thinking of the fox demon who attacked Gu Liuxi in prison at the beginning, it confirmed his analysis.
Gu Liuxi nodded, of course she remembered, that time was still fresh, how could she forget it!
Chi Heng turned his head to look in Gu Liuxi's direction, and a shining light appeared in his eyes, "If I didn't guess wrong, it should be her cultivating magic ......"
Gu Liuxi suddenly slapped his head and suddenly realized, "I know..."
