Chapter 39: The Dark River
Wen Ember and Bai Wangshu were still carefully studying the handwriting on the wall, exchanging opinions from time to time. Bai Xu saw that the gauze on his body was worn out, and he was stained red with blood, and said with difficulty: "Wangshu, come and help me change the medicine." ”
After shouting several times but still without a response, he looked up and saw that Bai Wangshu was studying the mural and was engrossed, and he couldn't hear the voices of others at all.
Xiao Mu took out gauze and Jin Chuangyao from Liu Xunyin's package and walked over: "I'll come." I'll still be able to do it with a simple bandage. ”
"I'm tired. Bai Xu was grateful, but he was hurt by the other party's ruthless hand: "Childe, you are ......"
"Bai Yan is your old subordinate, why is he here? Xiao Mu asked coldly.
"Childe knows about him?" Bai Xu showed a surprised look.
"Is there anything that the Cloud Silent Sect can't know?" Xiao Mu asked rhetorically.
"The subordinates don't dare. I sent him to find the recipe for the fire. ”
"What's the matter with the writing on the wall?"
"The Hidden Dragon Abyss is so dangerous that he must not dare to go, so he wanders around Death Valley and discovers the secrets here. ”
"You don't have to bring us here. After all, there is an ancestral hall of the Bai ancestors under this ground, if they find out, how do you explain it. ”
"Naturally, I pretended not to know. Childe, there is no other hiding place around here, you also saw the man-eating swamp just now, and Miss Liu almost died if she had kung fu on her. It's better to take a risk than to die. ”
"Well, these are small things. Xiao Mu shook his head and said, "It's just that why do you bother with Wen Yan, he is a killer of the Cloud Lonely Sect, and he is very vigilant." If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, what does he ask, you can find a way to get it done. Yifu originally took a fancy to your city very deeply, and his joy and anger were invisible, and he was a person who did great things, so he took you for his own use. It's good that you are so quick that you almost show your feet. ”
"Yes, Childe. I'll restrain my emotions in the future. Bai Xu gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger: "It's just Childe, this Bai Yan doesn't know how long he has been wandering in Death Valley, will he have found ......?"
"No way, I should have turned over his clothes, no. Xiao Mu said in a low voice: "The fire should still be in the Hidden Dragon Abyss, don't worry." The dagger on his chest had the words on it, and he thought he had committed suicide. ”
"Why?" Bai Xu said in surprise.
"Xu is ashamed to see the ancestors and ancestors, Xu is scared to death by the vision of Death Valley, who is right. ”
"After all, he is my most heartfelt subordinate. Bai Xu lowered his head, his pale beard trembled slightly, and there was still a little mud.
"Useless people die and die. Nothing is a pity. Xiao Mu said coldly: "When have you been so compassionate." ”
"If I hadn't completed the task, would you and the master of the door be so ruthless?"
Xiao Mu's face sank: "There is no such possibility, and the door master will not allow it." If you're afraid of death, stop it now, and don't delay my plans. ”
"The subordinates don't dare. Bai Xu trembled.
"You killed your brother and father, why don't you dare. Xiao Mu sneered: "But don't forget, Bai Wangshu's life is in my hands." If you dare to turn your back on Yun Lone, I will let him know how your good father strangled his brother's newborn child with his own hands, and brought him back from your lover to exchange the tanuki for the prince. ”
"The subordinates are determined to go to the soup and fire, and there is no second heart. Bai Xu lowered his head forbearingly, and a fleeting chill flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Mu seemed to see through his mind at a glance, and increased the force in his hand and said: "Don't think about the fish dying and the net is broken, Yun Lonely Gate wants to deal with you, it is easier than pinching an ant to death." ”
"Ancestors, sacrifices, undercurrents. Wen Ember gently brushed away the stone dust that shook off the stone wall, and connected a few vaguely recognizable words together and thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't understand its meaning.
"Maybe this Bai Yan is unwilling and deliberately pretending to be a ghost. Bai Wangshu couldn't figure out why, and saw that the light of the fire was gradually dimming: "Young Master Wen, it's late at night, let's rest first, and then bother thinking about these tomorrow." ”
"Good. Wen Ember was about to accept it, but he heard Liu Xunyin's voice from the depths of the cave: "Ember." ”
"What's wrong?" Wen Shen walked over and saw Liu Xunyin dressed in thin clothes, and his slender body trembled slightly from the cold. Xu was suffering from a cold and fever, and his face was flushed. He felt a pain in his heart for no apparent reason, and took off his coat and draped it over her.
"There's something strange around here. Liu Xunyin stretched out two slender fingers and lightly touched the ground: "You listen to the sound of the water, and there is a sense of convergence of the water vortex, as if there is another world under this ground." ”
Wen Ember pulled out his sword, and when he exerted his strength, he felt that the cold poison and the feeling of burning his body violently collided. The sword paused in the air for a moment, then vanished straight into the whirlpool.
"It seems that if you follow the water, there will be a new world. Tang Qiqi smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go down to explore?"
"Miss Tang. Bai Xu's old voice came from not far away: "What kind of place are you in Death Valley, since the old man can remember, I haven't heard of anyone who can get out alive." It's a blessing that a few of us have survived until now, and you're good, where the danger goes. ”
"Dying in such a novel place is much more interesting than ordinary people's birth, old age, sickness and death. Tang Qiqi disagreed: "You spare your life, I will go down by myself." ”
"Nonsense!" Bai Xu coughed so angrily that his face turned red: "Little girl, just talk nonsense." ”
Bai Wangshu persuaded beside him: "Miss Tang, the Valley of Death is no better than the Valley of Forgetting Sorrows, and it is only a matter of time before the flat land becomes a swamp. If you're not familiar with the terrain, don't take the risk lightly. ”
"Qiqi, what Bai Gongzi said is reasonable. Now several of us have some injuries on our bodies, so we should wait until we are well to make plans. Liu Xunyin persuaded.
"That's it. Tang Qiqi crossed his waist and said, "Then let's wait until I wake up." ”
Wen Shen threw a few dry firewood into the fire, and said softly to Liu Xunyin: "Say hello when it's cold at night, I'm guarding the entrance of the cave." ”
"Good. Liu Xunyin heard the care in his words, and felt that his heart was stable, and he fell asleep after a while.
When I woke up the next day, the fire beside me had been extinguished, and there were deep and shallow footprints on the messy ashes. Liu Xunyin's forehead fever had faded, but he still felt weak and weak, and his internal force was blocked, so he turned around and saw Tang Qiqi and Bai Wangshu disappearing, and the other three were groggy and unconscious.
"It's poisoned. Liu Xunyin frowned and quickly woke up the three of them.
"The mercy of this poisoner only stunned us, and it had no effect on our bodies. Liu Xunyin said anxiously: "Qiqi and Bai Gongzi ......"
Xiao Mu rubbed his chest: "Could it be that Qiqi is playing with a heavy heart and following the flow of water to touch it......"
"Impossible, although Qiqi is reckless, he acts in a very measured manner. Liu Xunyin walked quickly to the edge of the mural and picked up the matching sword on the ground: "If I'm not mistaken, this is the relic of the first master, Bai Gongzi regards it as a treasure, how can he throw it away at will." ”
Bai Xu looked at Xiao Mu with complicated eyes, as if he was asking something, but Xiao Mu didn't answer, just turned his back coldly.
Wen Ember walked to the entrance of the cave where the water was converging and probed with his hand, "Anyway, find them first." ”
