Chapter 123: The Mystery of the Year in One-Eye's Mouth
The night was blank, and the barren forest was foggy, but more and more shouts and the light of the fire gathered from all around.
"They're there, chase after them!"
The one-eyed old bell snorted coldly, "This pockmarked face really has a back move." ”
A group of high-rollers surrounded me and the one-eyed old clock, and the strong man with the plate axe held up the two plate axes high, and his eyes were extremely fierce.
"Take these two rebels for me!"
At the sound of the order, everyone picked up their weapons and attacked us.
"Senior, how careful you are!"
As the words fell, a few streaks of blue light rushed towards the crowd. The strong man held two plate axes with great strength, and a powerful internal force swept over. In terms of force, although I can't compare, but fortunately, I have the help of the colorful sword. The legendary sword embodies Master Mao's hard work and righteousness throughout his life. Help me fend off enemy attacks and forge a bloody path.
Except for the brave strong man, the rest of the high rollers are mostly rats, so there is nothing to be afraid of. It's just that I don't want to really hit them hard, and after the blue light repels the next wave, another wave sticks up like a dogskin plaster. There were more and more people around him, and a few blood marks had already appeared on his arms, and the one-eyed old bell on the other side was also a little weak.
"You can't fight," I jumped to resist the enemy's sword for him, "senior, you go first, I'll break back!"
The one-eyed old clock's eyes were pitch black, and a sharp claw reached out to grab the throat of a sneak attacker. The man's expression stiffened, and he died in front of my eyes in an instant. He said in a deep voice, "Go, I know there's a place to hide." ”
After this fight, everyone was tired, and the one-eyed old bell was very familiar with this barren forest, and the clamor was quickly left far behind.
When I escaped from the barren forest, before dawn, I could faintly see a familiar eaves corner peeking out of the white mist in front of me.
"Senior, why are we back again?"
The one-eyed old bell stopped in front of the ruined temple, his face quite serious. There was no movement outside the temple, and it was silent and dreary, and I didn't know if there was any danger in the temple.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place. They can't find it here. ”
Zheng –
I clenched the sword in my hand, and my eyes sank.
The place where the one-eyed old bell said that he could hide turned out to be a secret room under the ruined temple.
I followed him through the long passage hidden behind the Buddha statue, and saw that the small stone chamber was covered with a layer of dust, emitting a hint of dampness and an indescribable smell of decay.
"Senior, this is here?"
The hoarse voice said, "This is where I used to park my body. ”
A gust of wind came in from nowhere, causing dust to fall overhead, and the whole stone chamber seemed to let out a "whine" sob.
"After all these years, it's still the same. ”
The one-eyed old clock turned around, took the fire fold in my hand, and lit the candlestick hanging on the stone wall.
There were sporadic footsteps on the ground, getting closer and closer. Then I remembered a commotion, as if there were a lot of people coming to the ruined temple overhead.
I held my breath, and in the dim candlelight, I could vaguely hear a few words with my eyes open.
"Helper, there's no one here. ”
"Then chase it further west!"
......
The footsteps "rumbled" away again until no sound was heard.
I breathed a sigh of relief, moved my numb limbs, and turned my head to see the one-eyed staring at me.
"I misunderstood you. You are not in the same company as them. ”
The hoarse voice said again: "You came alone, it seems that it is the young man who has been hit by the Gu medicine." ”
Hearing this, my heart "chuckled", and my breathing became tight.
"The senior guessed correctly. I clenched my fist at him, "Just now when I was breaking the temple, I happened to hear my senior talking about the technique of solving Gu. Dare to ask the seniors if they know the secret of this?"
After a moment of silence in the stone room, the one-eyed old bell bowed slightly, and the one-eyed looked farther away from me, "The art of solving Gu lies in the exquisite grass. ”
"Linglong grass?" I was startled, and I couldn't help but raise my words a little.
He didn't seem to notice my anomaly and went on talking to himself.
"Linglong grass is the best elixir, and it is rumored that it has long been extinct in the world. Fortunately, eighteen years ago, someone discovered the Linglong grass seed, and happened to be proficient in medical skills, and developed a medicine to solve the Gu, so that the seven masters could be saved. ”
"That man...... Is it Yun Niangniang?"
He nodded again, and his face suddenly showed a trance, "It's a pity that Yun Niangniang didn't know what to do later, and the peerless exquisite grass was difficult to find, so this Gu solution technique was not announced to the world." ”
"That means that now only by finding Yun Niangniang can you solve the Gu?"
The one-eyed old bell was silent, and his body swayed a few steps forward.
"Actually, not really. There are other people who can solve the Gu. ”
He froze in place, turned around, and a gleam shot out of his eyes, "Do you know why those people are looking for Linglong's heart?"
"For the resurrection of the Demon King?"
"Resurrection?" he scoffed, "If you want me to say that Ling Tianjun may not be dead at all. ”
I was shocked and didn't dare to catch my breath.
The so-called biggest mystery of the Battle of Jingshui eighteen years ago......
I continued to listen to him.
"Back then, Ling Tianjun was hit hard by Yun Niangniang and died in the broken temple, and I dragged his body to the old cemetery. The corpse picker must watch the dead fall into the ground, but the Demon King Ling Tianjun did a lot of evil during his lifetime, and I decided to destroy his body in the flames, even after death, there will be no peace. ”
The one-eyed old bell gritted his teeth, and his clenched fists made a "gurgling" sound.
"Later, when I realized that I had forgotten to bring the fire breaker, I placed the body on the haystack in the old cemetery. But when I returned, the corpse on the grass pile was gone. It was the middle of the night, and no one would pass by in the area around the cemetery. I searched everywhere, but I still couldn't see the body. ”
"Could it have been some other scavenger who passed by and buried the body? Or maybe they burned him earlier?"
"No, it won't. Corpse pickers have the rules of corpse pickers, and they will not easily touch other people's lives. Besides, the Demon King has a reputation, and only I, a one-eyed cripple, dare to collect his corpse for him. The only explanation I can think of is that Ling Tianjun didn't die, he woke up and fled on his own. ”
But that doesn't make sense. I frowned and thought, "At that time, Ling Tianjun was seriously injured, and he was still breathing after waking up, so he couldn't go far at all. Unless there is someone, someone to help him, to answer him......"
In an instant, a person flashed in my mind, and I said in shock: "Could it be that traitor? Senior, you said that one of the seven masters is his person!"
"Perhaps. ”
The one-eyed old bell did not deny it, and a fierce color appeared between his eyebrows.
"But let me firmly believe that Ling Tianjun didn't die because they were looking for some so-called exquisite heart. Do you know that what they are looking for is not the Linglong Heart that can resurrect the Demon King, but the person who has the Linglong blood that can cure the Gu medicine, and then destroy him in one fell swoop. ”
"What, what?"
I was so shocked that I couldn't help but tremble.
"Linglong blood, what does it have to do with Linglong grass?"
