Chapter Forty-Eight: The Secret of the Valley of Beauty
Xianjie and the other girls fainted to the ground after receiving the reward.
A scent wanders around, peach-colored curtains wrap around the pool, and flowers and plants float on the water.
Xianjie gradually woke up, her consciousness was still a little blurred, she vaguely heard the sound of running water, and in front of her was a peach-colored curtain, and a refreshing fragrance permeated her body.
After a while, Xianjie was fully awake and found herself naked in the hot spring pool, in which the flowers and plants on the hill floated on the water.
Gradually, I heard more women's screams.
It turned out that the valley owner charmed all of them with a kind of incense, placed them in a small pool separated by a curtain, and soaked them in the secret flowers and plants of the valley.
When everyone woke up and slowly calmed down from screaming, the voice of the valley lord came to their ears, and only her figure could be seen through the curtain.
"You have been soaked in the unique secret fragrance of Beauty Valley for three days and three nights, and the beauty fragrance has penetrated into the skin, and you have carried this fragrance in this life. ”
Hearing this, Xianjie subconsciously sniffed the back of her hand, and sure enough, there was a fragrance.
"This incense is highly toxic. Gu Master Fu said loudly again.
When the girls heard this, they were stunned, but they didn't dare to speak.
"The reason why the Beauty Valley has its current prosperity is that there is naturally the way of operation of the Beauty Valley, in the future, you will all become the wives of officialdom and famous families, when the time comes, as long as you obediently obey the order and complete the tasks assigned to you by the Beauty Valley, the antidote will naturally be sent to you every two months on a regular basis, if not, the whole body will festered and die. ”
After hearing this, the girls were shocked, and Xianjie suddenly understood the deeper conspiracy of the Beauty Valley.
Beauty Valley uses beauties as a tool to beat the beauties with better minds into the court and the rivers and lakes, and sells most of the girls who are not selected to participate in the 'Talent and Beauty Festival' to fireworks venues, and divides into two lines to collect money and property for the Beauty Valley, and collects the handles and intelligence of officialdom and people in the rivers and lakes for the Beauty Valley, and there is a great conspiracy hidden behind it.
In this way, Xianjie and others brought an indelible charming aroma, and it was a joy to have a fragrance on their bodies, but the aroma was poisonous, and everyone felt that there was a tumor on their bodies, and they didn't know when they would die, and what was even more terrifying was that this tumor went deep into the heart and defiled the already pure state of mind.
Xianjie originally thought that she had a chance to escape from the Beauty Valley, but she didn't want to have the incense poison in her body, even if she escaped from the Beauty Valley, she could never get rid of the control of the Beauty Valley, and a trace of sadness and melancholy appeared in her heart.
That night, Xianjie returned to Luzhu and immediately closed the door, sat on the bed and sat on the bed, hoping to force out the toxins in the body, and when the luck was to the depths, it was about to break through the Guan Yuan everywhere, the whole body was extremely itchy, and the body exuded a thicker and thicker aroma.
This poison is called beauty incense, also known as 'incense poison', which is refined from fourteen kinds of poisonous weeds and fourteen kinds of poisonous flowers, if you want to solve this poison, you need to know clearly the weight of various poisonous weeds and poisonous flowers, therefore, unless it is a person who personally dispenses medicine, others are determined to dispense the medicine, if you want to force out this poison with internal force, it will only deepen the toxin.
After three days and three nights of soaking, the incense poison has penetrated Xianjie's whole body and soaked into the bone marrow. Every time Xianjie thinks about this, she can't help but think of Zongzheng, whenever she is helpless or worried, she can't help but think of her beloved brother Zheng, looking forward to the moment of reunion with him.
Time flies, and at the end of the month, Xianjie slowly adjusted her state of horror and worry, and her heart gradually returned to peace.
The terrain of the Beauty Valley is complex, the weather is changeable, like a labyrinth, for the sake of safety, according to the convention, the Beauty Valley will be held in the valley of the "Talented and Beautiful Woman Festival", so that no matter how high the martial arts of the people in the rivers and lakes, how powerful the officials and nobles are, out of concern about the way back, they do not dare to easily offend the Beauty Valley.
Since the first attempt, many of the maidens in the valley have been cleared out of the bamboo pavilion, and some continue to stay in the valley and live with the maids, however, most of them have been sold to the land of fireworks. Therefore, most of the best bamboo pavilions in the valley are vacant, and they are much quieter.
As the first day of the new year approached, the housekeeper in the valley began to arrange and arrange the venue, and the always calm Beauty Valley became a little noisy.
Out of thorough consideration, the valley owner set up the East Valley as a place for guests to live, and the South Valley was the main venue, so he ordered everyone in the East Valley to move to the Middle Valley and everyone in the South Valley to move to the West Valley.
Due to the limited number of Zhonggu Zhuxuan, the valley lord specially ordered the beauties to be selected in the East Valley to be stationed in the vacant Zhuxuan in Zhonggu, therefore, Xianjie's residence gradually became noisy, sometimes some people practiced the piano, sometimes some people practiced dance, and they seemed to be struggling for their own fate, and those seemed to be meaningless in Xianjie's eyes.
Xian Jie felt that it was an opportunity for Zhonggu and Donggu to replace Zhuxuan, so she wanted to take advantage of the chaos to visit the main pavilion at night.
On the night when the people of Donggu just came to Zhonggu, Xianjie changed into black clothes, and quietly came to the hill with the memory of that day, which is the starting place of the blindfolded, Xianjie was sure that she was walking in the cave that day, so she felt that there should be a tunnel under the hill, but where the mechanism at the entrance of the cave was, it was not clear for a while.
Xianjie groped in the dark by the moonlight, and suddenly heard a loud sound, so she immediately lay down in the grass, only to see a slope on the hill, revealing a mouth, which emitted a little light, and the stewards of the five grains walked out one by one, Xianjie just looked at the five people quietly, not daring to make any sound, the night was vast, although it was very close, but it was difficult to find.
I saw two big men coming out from behind the five stewards, carrying a heavy iron cage, and the two opened the iron cage, and then a white eagle came out, which shook the feathers on its body and jumped.
The midvalet steward stuffed a long scroll into the bamboo tube tied to the white carving's legs, and then closed the lid.
"Go!" said the steward to the white eagle.
The great white eagle flapped its wings, took up in the air, and disappeared into the moonlight.
When the five saw the big white eagle flying away, they ordered the two big men to return, and the leader of the middle valley left the hill with the rest of the stewards and returned to their respective valleys.
The door on the slope gradually closed, the faint light gradually darkened, and the surroundings became quiet again.
Xianjie quietly walked out of the flowers and grass, and came to the place where the glimmer was revealed, only to see that it was all turf, and there was no trace of cracking, knowing that there must be a mechanism here, but she didn't know where to put it, so she groped nearby.
There is no physical object nearby, Xianjie is on the turf, thinking that the turf that is often touched is different from the next one, it is late at night, it is cold here, the grass tip is dewdropped, the turf that has been turned over must not have dewdrops, so he touched it with his hand piece by piece, and finally found a piece of grass tip without dew at a partial corner, just the size of a palm, Xianjie remembered the position and pressed it hard, and then an oblique door was pushed open from the middle to both sides, and the faint candlelight shone out from the inside.
Xianjie walked in carefully, there was a trigger mechanism on the floor, and Xianjie automatically closed the door when she entered, and the threads were closed.
It was indeed a tunnel inside, and there was a candlestick every two meters on the cave wall, extending all the way to the corner of the cave, and Xianjie followed the light of the candlestick and walked quietly inside.
Coming to the end of the road, a stone door stood in front of her, thinking of the sound she heard that day, Xianjie was sure that passing through this door was the hall she saw that day.
Xianjie groped carefully around the stone gate, there was a candlestick on the side of the stone gate, Xianjie was a careful person, naturally noticed, so she touched the candlestick, and kept trying hard in all directions, but the candlestick still did not move, and Xianjie felt unreasonable. Then he recalled the situation before entering the hall that day.
That day, Xianjie stood in the forefront, although blindfolded, but she could clearly feel that the light and shadow in front of her seemed to shake up and down, after some thought, suddenly woke up, and then took off the candle, a long pointed iron needle emitted a cold light in the candlelight, Xianjie pinched the side of the iron needle, down hard, the iron needle was lowered by a few points, the stone door automatically opened, Xianjie immediately put herself close to the stone wall, aimed at the hall and no one, then put the candle back to the candlestick, quietly walked into the hall.
Walk across the ice bridge, come to the hall platform, open the hanging curtain, there is a long table in it, there is an incense burner on the table, and there is a portrait on the wall in the middle, the person in the painting is Genghis Khan, but Xianjie does not know, see the dress of the person in the portrait, only know that it is not my own race.
Xianjie didn't think deeply, but continued to grope and look at the hall, and saw that there was a hollow door on the right side of the hall, so she entered through that door, walked through a long tunnel, and suddenly came to an open and open place, which was different.
The moonlight poured silver light on the ground, the stars shone brightly, and a long corridor connected several houses together, and Xianjie saw that there was a candlelight, so she flew softly to the roof with her strength and came to the roof of the candlelight.
Xianjie carefully uncovered a few tiles, looked down, and saw the valley lord and the five elders inside, as if discussing something important.
Xianjie carefully crouched on the roof, quietly listening to the conversation inside.
I only heard the valley lord say to the five elders: "At present, the Great Khan is blocked in Diaoyu City, and our army is still not half an inch, and the Great Khan ordered us to find a way to get the Southern Song Dynasty army map through the dark line, five elders, what do you think?"
One of the elders replied in a deep tone: "If you get the Southern Song Dynasty dispatch map, you can know the recent deployment of troops in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Great Khan can also take advantage of the situation to adjust the strategy, and we also know the significance, but it is not easy to get all the dispatch maps, not to mention, the few dark lines buried before are becoming more and more ineffective." ”
After hearing this, Xianjie suddenly understood that the real controller behind the Beauty Valley was the Mongols, in order to attack the Southern Song Dynasty, the Beauty Valley as an intelligence agency was also really powerful, not using force but with wisdom, it seems that the Mongols are more powerful than imagined, although it is clear that the world is taken on horseback, the hidden wisdom under the force has not been noticed by others?
Xianjie didn't want to listen anymore, she was afraid that the more she heard, the more damage she would cause to her psyche, so she gently put back the tiles and flew to the ground.
Xianjie was about to leave along the corridor, when she suddenly saw Bi Yan coming in, so she casually pushed open a door and hid in.
The room was dark, and when Bi Yan's figure walked by, Xianjie suddenly heard a soft sound in the corner of the room. Then he walked to the room, and he could vaguely see two iron cages placed together, one was empty, and the other contained a big white eagle, the cage was narrow, and the big white eagle did not even have room to turn over.
The strange thing is that the big white eagle saw that Xianjie did not scream, Xianjie took out the fire, with a faint light, saw the big white eagle looking straight at herself, the eyes with tenderness pierced the bottom of Xianjie's heart, Xianjie suddenly noticed a pinch of black hair on the top of its head, and finally recognized this eagle.
It is one of the two eagles of the year, although many years have passed, the big white eagle still knows Xianjie.
Three years ago, the two white eagles have grown up, they flew away to form a family, the male eagle with a black hair on the head looked for a female white eagle, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, the female eagle was captured by the Mongols, the Mongols re-used the female eagle as bait, although the male eagle knew that it was a trap but resolutely went to the rescue, both were arrested, and then were dedicated to Meng Ge, Meng Ge felt that the use of these two white eagles to transmit information, not only faster, but also safer, than the take-off pigeon, can still transmit some heavier military things, for the efficiency and safety of the intelligence agency, so the two eagles were transferred to the hidden beauty valley used。
The Mongolians have always domesticated the golden eagle, so they have a lot of experience and experience in taming the golden eagle, but these two white eagles are quite spiritual, and it is difficult to tame, so the valley owner trapped the two eagles in the iron cage, and only released one white eagle to perform the task at a time, and the other white eagle continued to be trapped, so the two white eagles became the tools of the beauty valley intelligence transmission, and the treatment and situation were very pitiful.
Xianjie didn't understand why the eagle was trapped here, but seeing such a spiritual eagle, the sky overlord who was supposed to soar into the sky was trapped in a cage one foot square, and couldn't help but think of her own experience, and involuntarily stretched out her hand to stroke the eagle's head, and the eagle obediently rubbed Xianjie's warm hand and comforted each other.
Xianjie wanted to secretly release the eagle, but she was worried that releasing the eagle at this time would attract suspicion, and she would not be able to get out of the whole body at that time, so she decided to find a suitable opportunity to rescue the poor eagle again, she told the white eagle about her last resort, and promised the eagle that she would rescue it, and then extinguished the fire and left safely.
