Chapter 457: A dilemma
Countless thoughts flashed in Luo Kui's heart, one of which grabbed her heart more and more, perhaps, maybe the person she was thinking about in her heart was really alive, for a long time, before she retracted her thoughts, she raised her hand, a little red light squirmed and flickered on her fingertips, and then a pomegranate flower bloomed in her palm, red like blood, dark and shining. She stared: "This is the Streamer Gu, it is the Shui family's unique Gu technique, that is to say, only me and my father have this kind of Gu worm in this world." ”
"Uncle Shi, it's Uncle Shi, Luo Kui, this Gu naturally won't be from you, then it can only be Uncle Shi. The cocoon god clapped his hands and smiled: "I know that Uncle Shi has great powers, and he will not die so easily, but it is good to be dignified, what does Uncle Shi do to these villagers." ”
Luo Kui shook his head: "I don't know, Liuqu told me before he died that his father was not dead, so I opened the coffin with Suzi, my father is indeed not in it, maybe my father is really alive." She probed everyone in the blood pool, and finally slowly withdrew from the blood cave, raised her head and looked around: "Why don't you go back to me when you are alive, why don't you go back to the main altar near Poria Mountain, the most puzzling thing is that what my father did with so many people's essence, the six songs of the year, and the soul of life and death were taken to resurrect Xiangru, so what was my father for." ”
Poria Mountain is a natural treasure land, the mountain is full of heaven and earth treasures, full of spiritual energy, it is an excellent place to cultivate, so the blood faction from the date of establishment, the general altar is set up here, for hundreds of years, no matter how vicissitudes of life outside, the mountain is still a peaceful and unfazed.
For several days, Luo Kui and others walked around the villages near Poria Mountain to investigate, and there were almost ten villages and nine empty villages around, and the only ones left were mostly old and weak, describing the situation when the villagers became immortal.
It is said that there is a white ghost, floating among the villagers, only to see the red mang on the door of the person's head a turn, the person will fall straight down, but after a cup of tea, the person will stand up straight, but there is no consciousness, no eating, no drinking, no moving, just standing upright, from then on become an immortal walking corpse.
At first, just one or two people became immortal, the villagers thought that they had been evil, and after inviting someone to do a few rituals, the matter became more and more serious, and there were more and more people who were evil, and the young and middle-aged people in the village were not spared.
After the ghost shadow made a move, some villagers had the courage to follow all the way, and finally lost it in the Cangwu Cave on the west side of the Poria Mountain Range.
Cangwu Cave is not far from Poria Mountain, but does not belong to Poria Mountains, and here is full of hot Zedi, a little careless and stumbling into it, a body of skin and flesh will be cooked from raw to hot, and Cangwu Cave is in the depths of Zedi, according to the legend of the world, there are countless natural treasures in this hole, but no one dares to set foot in Zedi, afraid of hot peeling, even if salivating, do not dare to touch at all.
But the master of the Fu Blood Sect is not afraid of the hot Zedi, as early as decades ago entered the Cangwu Cave, the legendary treasures of heaven and earth are just some ordinary elixir, and the location of this place is really not important, so they withdrew from this place, and did not leave any manpower to garrison, but who expected that the gangsters took advantage of the loophole and hid here to hurt the heavens and reason.
The entrance of Cangwu Cave is very small, and only one person can enter and exit with the body of a cat at a time, but there is a hole inside, and the big one is amazing, and it is empty at a glance without the slightest suspicion.
Looking around in the cave, there were only craggy stone walls and overgrown ground, Bai Ji and the people in the cave inspected every inch of the ground and stone walls, and finally found an extraordinary clue in an inconspicuous corner.
"It's empty, it's empty, there should be a dark room in the back. Su Zi knocked and knocked, listened for a long time, and exclaimed: "Bai Ji, quickly, open it." ”
Hearing this, Bai Ji clenched his fists, wisps of red light swirled around his fists, and immediately, he took a deep breath, and his fist hit the stone wall hard, the stone wall collapsed, and the gravel fell to the ground like snowflakes, and after the gray smoke dissipated, everyone showed a pitch black underground passage in front of them, and he did not hesitate to bend down and drill in.
A quarter of an hour later, he poked his head out of the passage and said in a deep voice, "Master, my lord, it is right here, but I have not found him. ”
They followed him slowly to the ground, and by the faint light of the fire they could see that there was nothing left on the ground except a nest of withered grass.
Picking up the dead grass, there were some dark red traces on the ground covered by the grass, like specks of dried blood, Luo Kui couldn't help but lean over, and at this moment, the compass she had been carrying with her suddenly hummed, broke free, and hung in the air emitting a faint red light.
Seeing this scene, Luo Kui was taken aback, and instructed Bai Ji: "Bai Ji, dissolve the bloodstains." ”
Bai Jiying claimed that it was, and when he raised his hand, a crystal clear bead shook back and forth on the bloodstains, and after a while, the beads wrapped the dissolved blood stains back into his palm, and Luo Kui put the compass into his hand at the same time, and the bloodstains broke free from the bead's wrapping, and instantly merged into the compass.
Everyone looked at all this dumbfounded, and after a long time, Luo Kui came back to his senses, and said with joy and surprise: "It's father, that's right, it's father." ”
A full moon hangs outside the window, in the conference hall of the main altar, the atmosphere is solemn, dignified and a little depressing, drinking tea one after another, no one makes a sound, the ghost shadow is the ancestor of the blood faction, it is a legendary existence, several times to save the blood in danger, even the former head of the teacher, the father of the god of cocoon, he also rescued it.
Luo Kui lowered his head, looked at a cup of tea and lost his mind, he wanted to attack his father, he couldn't do it anyway, finally, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground broke the dead silence, and everyone surrounded him, exclaiming: "General Su, General Su." ”
I saw Su Zi fall to the ground, because of the severe pain, his body was curled up tightly, his hands and feet were stiffly hooked, and his body was cold to the touch. He seemed to be shaking with his cold teeth closed, but the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead were hot and burning his fingers.
Fu Shen was a little afraid, reached out and touched it, but retracted it very quickly, tears rolling down: "Suzi, Suzi, you are, what's wrong." She looked back at Luo Kui and cried: "Didn't you say that it can be detoxified, didn't you say that it can be detoxified, do you want me to rest assured." ”
Luo Kui sighed silently, it was the night of the full moon again, this situation had not appeared for several months, I thought that the Nine Shadows Poison had already been controlled, but I didn't expect the poison to still be so menacing.
Lilac desperately hugged Suzi, used all her strength to pry open his teeth, took the medicine that Luo Kui had dissolved, and carefully poured it in.
"It's poisonous again, I remember we don't have any medicine anymore. Su Zi calmed down, with a wry smile in his eyes, staring at Luo Kui intently.
Luo Kui smiled: "You don't have to worry about the antidote, everything has me." She looked back and instructed Du Heng and Bai Ji: "You two go to the town with me, and leave now." ”
Su Zi grabbed her, stuffed a porcelain bottle into her hand, and held it tightly: "Medicine, medicine." ”
The nearest town from Poria Mountain is called Zhuwu, the town is not big but the people are simple, in this world where all the people are lustful, there is no brothel in the whole town, which is really rare.
Du Heng and Bai Ji were restless at the door, until there was a plop in the house, the two hurriedly pushed the door in, only to see two teas on the table, one of which had been drunk, the strong man fell to the ground on his back, motionless, Luo Kui sighed, the white light appeared on his wrist, there was blood and the blood in the man's abdomen fused, Du Heng held the porcelain bottle to catch the gurgling blood.
After a while, Luo Kui moved his eyes to look at the two: "Send him out, and bring someone in, Su Zi's poison this time is surging, and this time it is to use medicine to obtain the qi of the yang, but I am afraid that the effect of the antidote will be greatly reduced." ”
Luo Kui concocted it in the same way, and took the Yang Qi of three people one after another, and the fourth person drank the medicinal tea, and just when he fell, the door suddenly opened, Du Heng stopped the comer, and said hurriedly: "Qing Gongzi, Qing Gongzi, the master has something important, you can't go in." ”
Kong Qing pushed Du Heng away, and then knocked Bai Ji who was protecting Luo Kui in front of him, reached out and grabbed her wrist, his eyes almost burst into flames: "Go, I can give you whatever you want, I don't allow you to do such a thing again." ”
Luo Kui raised his eyes and chuckled: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so majestic, I can't stop it as a mortal, if I want to kill it, I will take care of myself." ”
Kong Qing had a sad face, let go of her wrist, the knife fell, and the man lying on the ground snorted, and then his head was separated, and blood was scattered all over the ground.
The three of them were stunned, and after a long time, Luo Kui chuckled: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince killed someone and was angry, can you let us go." ”
Not long after returning to Poria Mountain, Su Zi heard about what happened in the inn, and couldn't help but shake his head: "Why did he come, Luo Kui, just tell him the truth." ”
Luo Kui shook his head: "What if you tell the truth, if he does this kind of thing that hurts the heavens and peace, I am afraid that your poison has not been resolved, and his curse will come." She handed the medicine over: "Okay, let's talk about the future later, now the detoxification is at a critical juncture, and it is not allowed to be sloppy." ”
Poria Mountain is deep in the mountains and dense forests, isolated from the world, it is still the end of summer outside, especially hot, the mountains are already slightly cool in early autumn, when the cool breeze in the morning swept through the window lattice, Du Heng brought the news of Qingzhou.
Leaving Qingzhou for more than a month, there was a major event that made the world jaw-dropping, this period of time, Qingzhou has appeared in Qingzhou one after another without the spirit of the immortal, the situation is the same as Poria Mountain, Qingzhou Mansion Yin Cha came to check and had no clue, had to ask the master to do a few exorcism of evil spirits, the light and the secret continued to investigate.
The matter of the immortal has not yet been completely settled, but there is news in the palace that the elixir that King Lin has offered to His Majesty is poisonous, and His Majesty is furious and detains him, and King Lin's plan to use this medicine to regain the Sacred Heart has completely failed.
Hearing this, Luo Kui suddenly lost interest in breakfast, put down his chopsticks, frowned and asked: "The elixir, King Lin really has the ability, this kind of miracle medicine can be found." However, His Majesty is now his only reliance, how can he be willing to poison it, since he is poisoned, it will definitely not be easily known, and how did it happen. ”
Du Heng handed over a sheet of tissue paper and replied in a deep voice: "King Lin was exposed by Chi Shao, and the ghost shadow was also captured in King Lin's mansion." ”
"Who is it. Luo Kui was taken aback and raised her eyes: "Who is the ghost shadow?" ”
Du Heng was silent for a long time before he pondered: "Yes, old master." ”
Qingzhou City is filled with a strange and tense atmosphere, because of the immortal thing, people's hearts are panicked, and even the relatives who have been in contact with each other on weekdays have a little more mustard.
Luo Kui and the others walked all the way through the city, and everywhere they could see were either pedestrians hurrying back and forth with their noses and mouths covered, or undead people standing in the shadows in the corners, even their eyes motionless.
King Lin was imprisoned in the Yeting Prison, and Ghost Ying'er was mistaken for an ordinary crazy person because of his delirium, and was only imprisoned in the prison of Qingzhou Mansion.
Guan Nei Hou Shuitian was very thin before, after a few years, he was even thinner than before, at first glance, it looked like a skeleton wrapped in skin, without the slightest popularity, this appearance, no wonder no one recognized him.
Through the prison, looking at the figure with his hair scattered and sitting on the wall, Luo Kui was already in tears, holding on to the railing with his hand, and muttered: "Daddy, daddy, daddy, what happened, how did you become like this." ”
Du Heng took a bunch of keys, opened several big locks on the cell door one by one, and looked back and said: "Master, General Su made an appointment for Tiandong to eat and drink, and the jailers were all overturned, there is not much time, so the master will go in and say." ”
The wet tide was coming, and the musty smell made people almost want to vomit, Luo Kui ran forward, grabbed Guan Neihou's hand, and held back his crying: "Dad, Dad, look at me, say a word to me." ”
As if he hadn't heard anything, Guan Neihou didn't even lift his eyelids, he still sat motionless, only occasionally rolling his eyes, telling the world that he was still alive and had not become an immortal with no energy.
"Du Heng, take my father away, I can't let him stay here. Luo Kui endured and endured, but she couldn't endure it, she took Guan Neihou's thin hand, what is the law of heaven, where is the life of the biological father that matters. She contemplated: "The prison in Qingzhou Mansion was originally lax, and it is common for one or two prisoners to run out, Du Heng, you do it cleanly, don't let people notice that we did it." ”
Since the ghost shadow escaped from the prison, the hearts of the people who had settled down were panicked again, but they were only panicked for a few days, and no new immortals appeared.
In the autumn night, a full moon hangs high, there are a few insect chirps, hoarse from the darkness, the people are restless, for some reason, after coming out of the prison, Guan Neihou became manic, constantly spinning around in the room and smashing things, banging on the door to go out, the throat intermittently let out a low roar, a pair of eyes became more and more blood-red, as if to drip blood, like a bloody beast, terrifying.
In desperation, Du Heng could only use spells to tie Guan Neihou to the bed, originally with his cultivation, he could not subdue the profound Guan Neihou, but a few years later, the old master he respected in his life became a madman who could not spell spells only brute force, and when he thought of this, his heart was dripping blood.
He wiped the sweat on Guan Neihou's forehead from time to time, and then glanced at Su Zi, who was considering the prescription, and finally spoke: "What is the old master's illness?" ”
Su Zi shook his head: "Father-in-law, this is a hundred Gu into the body, and he has collected too much people's essence, so he will be delirious, his meridians are disordered, and his mana is completely gone, so I can only give it a try." He wrote the recipe and handed it to the cloves: "Let Guanli catch the medicine according to the prescription." He raised his eyes and looked at Du Heng: "Luokui has all been arranged, she will go to get the antidote again today, and there will be no mistakes." ”
"Don't worry, master, his subordinates arranged for Du Zhong Juniper to come over. Du Heng bowed deeply.
Lilac spoke at this time: "You know that you feel sorry for the master, but in the future, you should take more care of your body and let the master work less." ”
The autumn rain was sluggish, and it continued to fall non-stop for several days, hitting people's hearts, panicked and empty.
A major event happened in the autumn rain, His Majesty issued an order, confiscated the imperial palace, the prince lost his morality, and was imprisoned in the court for self-examination, and King Lin was released to replace the prince in charge of the country.
As soon as this decree was made, the people of the DPRK and China were in an uproar, and the Linwang Party and the princelings were even more happy and worried, and the Linwang Party was happy that it finally waited for this day and could turn over. The princelings are worried that if the prince is deposed, they will never recover.
When King Lin came, Luo Kui was drinking tea, and smiled as if nothing had happened: "The third brother has just come out of the court prison, and he should go back to the house to rest." “
"I was busy a few days ago, and I didn't have time until today, so I came to congratulate my little sister on returning to the Hou Mansion. King Lin smiled, without the decadence and haggard of just being imprisoned.
Luo Kui pursed her lips and smiled: "It's just going home, what's there to be happy about." ”
King Lin waved his hand, and the attendant stepped forward with large and small brocade boxes, he took one and opened it and handed it over: "Little sister, this is a congratulatory gift prepared for you by the third brother, see if you like it or not." ”
One of the jade pendants as black as ink is particularly eye-catching, with strange patterns engraved on the jade, black mist on it, and faint sad cries coming out. Luo Kui only felt that this thing was very familiar, the tentacles were cold, and there was a bone-chilling cold air winding up along his fingertips. She shuddered fiercely and said calmly: "The third brother gave such a valuable gift to the little sister, the little sister didn't dare to do it." ”
King Lin squinted and smiled: "What is precious or not, as long as the little sister uses it." ”
Luo Kui raised his eyes: "How does the third brother know that the little sister must be able to use it." ”
King Lin suddenly became solemn and pondered: "Actually, I knew about this matter a few years ago, and I have been secretly preparing for the little sister, but the little sister and the prince got close, and what they said to him was naturally believed, so the third brother never dared to say it." ”
