Chapter 519: Secret Calculation and Cracking (Plus Update)
Liang Zhu stood high above the city gate, where there were heavy guards, and he was beyond the reach of the whip. The other party also ate this, so he dared to steal the blood cicada.
Tu Qingzhong sneered: "It was you who said that you wanted to invite the blood cicada, and it was you who changed the hexagram at a critical moment, isn't it that you have a ghost in your heart and dare not check it?"
"Don't dare" came out, Xiao Mi beside Han Zhao suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "Well said, thank you Prime Minister Tu for your advice!"
Point...... Tu Qingzhong was slightly stunned, but saw the young man turn his head and ask the Danfeng on Han Zhao's shoulder: "Can the Divine Bird listen to me?"
Dan Feng understood humanity and nodded when he heard the words. The boy called it "Divine Bird", which made it very pleasant, and it was immediately pleasing to the eye when he saw this kid.
So the boy leaned over and exchanged words with it.
Dan Feng heard it, and Han Zhao naturally heard it too, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
Looking at the scene below, the Liang Zhushi on the city gate somehow suddenly jumped in his heart, as if something bad had happened. Xiao Mi raised his head again: "Lord Liu, I have a way to test the authenticity of the blood cicada." ”
Lord Liu was very polite to him: "What method?"
Xiao Mi stretched out his hand and pointed at Liang Zhuxian: "You can find two people and help me hold him down!"
Liang Zhusai was furious: "Nonsense, I am a dignified sacrifice, guarding the temple for more than ten years, and even the king ...... see me"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Chuanfang intercepted and said: "Liang Zhu, offended." He nodded to the guards on either side, and the latter immediately rushed up, holding Liang Zhuxian's arms one left and one right, so that he couldn't move.
Tu Qingzhong glared at Lord Liu, a little dissatisfied, but did not speak.
In normal times, the sacrifice is indeed loved. But now that the army is pressing, everyone here is difficult to protect themselves, and they are not so respectful to him.
"Don't be afraid, it doesn't attack people. Han Zhao raised his arm, and the firebird immediately flapped its wings and flew towards the city gate.
He is only one size bigger than a pigeon, and most of his feathers are fluffy, so he doesn't look very threatening. The officers and soldiers just stared at it vigilantly, but Liang Zhuxian's face changed suddenly, and he roared while struggling: "Let go of me, let go quickly!"
He saw the blood cicada in Danfeng's mouth, and immediately knew its intentions.
But the two guards on the left and right were both big men, and they held him in the middle like a chicken boy without any difficulty.
The firebird flew extremely fast, fluttered and landed on Liang Zhu's arm, and immediately pressed the blood cicada in his mouth directly into his face!
The blood cicada was bitten by the fire phoenix for a long time, afraid and anxious, as soon as it touched the human body, it instinctively stretched out its thorn and pricked it.
Liang Zhuxian suddenly felt a slight pain on his face, and couldn't help screaming.
The firebird flapped its wings again and returned to the city, and the two guards did not let go of Liang Zhuxian - now everyone also understood Xiao Mi's intentions: he wanted Liang Zhuxian to test the poison himself!
Right under the noses of the officials, Liang Zhusai's face swelled into a high bulging red pus at a speed visible to the human eye, and the blood vessels under the pustules bulged out and were turning into a strange black.
If the poison invades the heart, it is really hopeless.
Liang Zhuxian shouted, "Let go of me!" and his voice was full of fear.
He wanted to see death as if he were home, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was indeed poisoned, and there was no point in holding on.
But naturally he couldn't break free.
Tu Qingzhong asked him, "Is there an antidote?"
"Yes, yes!" After a while, Liang Zhuxi's speech was not clear, just because his tongue and throat were high and swollen. If he is left alone, he will suffocate before he is poisoned. "Participate in me!"
When others saw that poison was so vicious, they all felt a chill in their hearts. If it weren't for Danfeng's knowledge of poison, King Yu would probably be dead at this time.
Liu Chuanfang took the opportunity to ask, "Where is the blood cicada?"
Liang Zhuxian hesitated.
If he tells the truth, King Wei will not let him go in the future.
Liu Chuanfang saw his worries and couldn't help laughing: "You are dying now, are you still worried about the future?"
This makes sense, Liang Zhusai's eyes closed: "It's still in Taimiao...... In the dark lattice behind the tribute table!"
Liu Chuanfang immediately turned around: "I'll go and get it myself!"
Tu Qingzhong gestured to the guards, who immediately let go of Liang Zhuxian.
So the priest quickly took out a vial from his bosom, poured out the powder in it, ate it, and put a little more on the wound.
Half an hour later, Liang Zhuxian gasped for breath, and the pus was swollen.
But at this time, no one doubted that the poisonous cicada was bleeding from his hand-
He even has an antidote.
Tu Qingzhong looked at him, with endless disappointment in his eyes: "Hold on!"
Liang Zhuxian himself and Xiao Mi did not have a holiday, since such a vicious plot was buried, of course, it was at the behest of King Wei. Tu Qingzhong originally didn't believe that King Yu was still alive, but now his heart is becoming more and more uneasy.
Not long after, Liu Chuanfang rushed back from Taimiao, holding a wooden box in his hand and handing it to Liang Zhu: "It is verified, otherwise I don't need to say the consequences?"
No. Liang Zhusai took it, and this time the old man did it.
There were also two blood cicadas in the box, and Liang Zhuxian said to Liu Chuanfang: "The blood cicadas are all in pairs, and they have the same effect, you can choose one." ”
Liu Chuanfang ordered one at random, recited a mantra for the sacrifice, and the strange insect obeyed his order and fell on Xiao Mi's body and took blood from his wrist.
Danfeng didn't react this time, obviously Lord Liu didn't get back a poisonous insect.
After sucking blood, the thing did not fly away, but quietly crouched on Xiao Mi's wrist, as if he wanted to take a nap after eating and drinking.
At this time, it was time for Shen, and the sunshine from the west slant hit the cicada, and Xiao Mi found that the originally transparent cicada wings had changed color!
As the saying goes, "thin as cicada wings", in fact, the veins on the cicada wings are like spider webs, carefully arranged.
But right now, this vein is slightly red.
As time passed, the silk veins on the cicada's wings became more and more pronounced, and finally they were as bright as blood.
At this time, the blood cicada flapped its wings and flew up, casting a red and bright light around it, like a ruby.
This is where the name of the blood cicada comes from.
After all, this thing was too small, and when it stopped in Xiao Mi's hand, the officials at the city gate couldn't see that far, but they could hear its noisy cry.
When the blood cicada flew back into Liang Zhu's hand, everyone's faces became extremely heavy when they saw its red wings.
Tu Qingzhong finally swallowed the sourness in his throat, and said in a low voice: "Liang Zhuxi, this, does this mean that he is, is ......?"
"Yes. Liang Zhuxian was listless, "This is the direct bloodline of the former king, His Royal Highness King Yu." "Whether King Yu can enter the city or not, I'm afraid he won't have a good life in the future.
This creature has a special talent, and if it is fed with the blood of the same family, then the blood cicada will recognize this bloodline after three generations of reproduction, and each time it is smoked, the cicada wings will turn red.
It has been found that the higher the concentration of blood veins consumed, the brighter the color of the cicada wings, and vice versa.
