Chapter Twenty-Three: The Horses at the Grave Stop Their Hoofs
Let's say that Mo Zhongqing and Shu Yao have moved the battlefield to the hall of Qunfang Pavilion after fighting and leaving, if it weren't for the two of them blindly defending and not attacking, I am afraid that they would not be able to hold on to the present. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but even so, the two of them have more or less some scars on their bodies, and they will definitely not be happy in the long run. What's worse is that if they delay like this, if the rescuers don't come, Miao Qingshu will definitely die of excessive blood loss in her legs.
Just when the two of them were thinking about how to get out and save people, they suddenly heard a spicy smell coming to their faces, and Su Yao and Mo Zhongqing secretly said that it was not good and hurriedly held their breath and was on guard, but they saw that the greedy wolf in front of them took the lead in changing his expression, and followed the chaos of the rules, and a scimitar in his hand was dancing like a three-year-old child.
Mo, although the two of them didn't know what to do, but where were they willing to let go of such a fleeting opportunity, they stabbed with their swords, only to hear the sound of "hiss" a few rags, and the greedy wolf immediately showed a few gaps on his body. Seeing that Su Yao was easy to succeed, he was even more unforgiving, his phoenix eyebrows were raised, and he pressed the sword again, but unexpectedly, the greedy wolf roared wildly, shook the sword with a palm, and then quickly retreated and broke through the wall without saying a word. This change came too suddenly, so that the two of them were both surprised, and subconsciously looked out of the door, but saw Qi Yanzhi tightly closing a bottle and walking in quickly.
"This is the demon exorcism powder that has just been blended, the details will be said later, let's go and see that Miao girl first. ”
This Qi Yanzhi entered the Qunfang Pavilion and walked towards the inner room while talking. Mo Zhongqing and Shu Yao glanced at each other and followed closely behind. Re-entering the secret room, Su Yao saw Miao Qingshu lying motionless on the ground, blood flowing all over her body, and it was obvious that she had passed out for a long time.
Qi Yanzhi immediately rushed to the front, opened a jade bottle and poured out a snow pill with a full body and stuffed it into Miao Qingshu's mouth, untied the leather square bag around his waist, took out a silver needle from it and applied the needle frequently at Miao Qingshu's severed limb, and picked out the long needle to slowly prick the needle at his central acupoint, and the time passed quietly with the rotation of the long needle for minute by second, and the broken place of the feet no longer bleed, but Miao Qingshu still showed no signs of waking up.
I don't know how long I waited, just when Su Yao was about to give up, Miao Qingshu suddenly relieved her breath, and then opened her eyes slightly and looked at the three people who were close by, before she could speak, she was interrupted by a heart-piercing pain, and glanced at the broken leg with a slight stunned look, and her expression changed miserably, "Heh... Retribution, retribution, why do you save me!"
Seeing her dancing wildly and crying and making trouble, almost crazy, her nose was sore, she couldn't help but quickly stepped forward to pick up Miao Qingshu, and hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, it's all over, Sister Qingshu, let's go back to the inner fang, okay? Rest assured, Su Yao guarantees that no one in this inner fang will dislike her sister." ”
Miao Qingshu didn't speak when she heard this, she just looked at the broken leg in a daze, her eyes became more and more hollow, and the thousand words in her chest must have turned into two lines of tears. Seeing such a grief-stricken appearance, Su Yao suddenly remembered Na Yun and dozens of other Taisufang sisters whose fate was unknown, and suddenly couldn't cry, Qi Yanzhi and Mo Zhongqing frowned when they saw it, and they had something in their hearts but it was not good to ask it immediately.
For a long time, until Miao Qingshu's body stopped shaking, then I heard her speak again: "Good sister, it was I who hurt everyone and even more Sister Nayun, it was I who was caught alone by that evil ghost and couldn't bear the humiliation before I agreed to his request and tricked the sisters into coming here...! Sister Su Yao, kill me......"
Su Yao listened to Miao Qingshu's confession, and her heart trembled every time she said a word, but her hands were still tightly hugging Miao Qingshu who was in a trance, and she gave Wen Cun, although her cheeks had already been pear-blossomed with rain, she was too busy to take care of herself, but she still comforted herself: "It's okay, he can't get the "Taisu Xuanjing", the owner has left a trick, what matters now is where did Nayun's sister go?
When Miao Qingshu heard this, her eyes finally became a little brighter, but then she was gloomy again: "The sisters are all dead, as for Nayun who was taken by them to Yizhuang outside the city two days ago, what kind of marriage, have you ever heard of going to Yizhuang to get married......?"
Saying that, Miao Qingshu trembled for a while, Qi Yanzhi looked at her and looked at her as if she was not fake, and immediately said after a little thought: "Without further ado, Zhong Qing has Miss Miao on her back, and we have something to say on the way." ”
Along the way, Qi Yanzhi explained to the three of them that he and Bai Suyi suddenly encountered the pursuers, and when the three of them heard that Bai Suyi led the pursuers away alone, their faces had changed several times, and Mo Zhongqing's eagerness was even more overflowing.
Qi Yanzhi comforted softly: "Rest assured, everyone can rest assured, it is rumored that Miss Bai is the daughter of the owner, and Lu Bujia also knows it." So even if he is caught, he will definitely be used as a threat, so his life is safe for the time being. ”
There is a way to care about chaos, although Qi Yanzhi is right, but as soon as Mo Zhongqing heard that Su Yi might be arrested, he felt a little restless in his heart, if it wasn't for Miao Qingshu who was fleeing at this moment, he would have to do hexagrams again.
Qi Yanzhi glanced at Mo Zhongqing, who looked uneasy, and said meaningfully: "Divination is a technique against the sky, and more occupation will inevitably attract jealousy, and I must have known it if Zhongqing was able to find it in the mountains last time." However, if a person is a person, his fate has become a certainty, if he can't analyze the number of fate, even if he can transfer it for a while, it is just to tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall, and if he can hide from the first and fifteenth days of the new year, he will definitely double his body, Zhong Qing should not trap himself and the white girl in another cause and effect. ”
Mo Zhongqing didn't seem to understand when he heard it, but he was quite familiar with these words, and remembered that his master had admonished similar words in the past, so he temporarily put aside his mind of using divination to measure his movements.
On the side, Shu Yao asked, "Presumably, Keqing found out that guy was a demon clan early in the morning." ”
Qi Yanzhi responded: "I deliberately approached the corpse before, hoping to find some clues on it. At a glance, it is not difficult to find that those dense bites of different shades are not something that humans can bite out, and the wounds are particularly large, which should be pierced by canine teeth similar to tigers, leopards and jackals. I just hesitated. ”
Shu Yao said: "Hesitating?"
Qi Yanzhi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I should have left Qunfang Pavilion at that time and started to mix demon exorcism powder on the spot, so that what happened later would not happen." ”
Mo Zhongqing said: "How can this be Mr.'s fault, if I hadn't let Su Yi pull Mr. away in a hurry, maybe there wouldn't have been so many twists and turns." ”
Qi Yanzhi comforted: "That's not necessarily, even if I didn't leave at the time and stayed to dispense medicine on the spot, that guy would definitely obstruct it in every way, so your approach is understandable." ”
Mo Zhongqing didn't say anything for a while when he saw Qi Yanzhi's insistence on stopping his fault, and no one asked him why he hesitated. Obviously, Qi Yanzhi panicked, walking outside all the year round, this demon exorcism powder has always been on his body, and he didn't use it in the secret room, that is another identity of Bai Suyi, if he guessed it before, the demon exorcism powder will also cause immeasurable damage to Bai Suyi.
And that's not what he wanted.
The four of them hurried and hurried, and finally met with the sisters in a private house, and decided to divide the troops into two ways according to the original discussion, one was Shu Yao to lead people to Xicheng to search for clues about Bai Suyi, and one route was Qi Yanzhi and Mo Zhongqing led ten people to rescue Nayun in Yizhuang outside the city, and the rest of the people looked at Miao Qingshu on the spot.
Then Qi Yanzhi took the pen and ink, and hurriedly rolled up the cursive script of the greedy wolf who wanted to seize the "Taisu Xuanjing" and the current situation, took out the jade flute from his arms and played a wonderful flute sound, and after a while, he saw the white falcon that was drunk spiraling down, Qi Yanzhi tied the letter to the falcon's legs, and slapped the falcon's wings, and the white falcon flapped its wings and flew away. When this series of things is done, the sky is hazy and gradually whitening, and it is about to dawn.
And it didn't rain all night, as if it were all a cover.
Outside Songyang County, a waning moon hung in the white sky, and the caravan travelers who got up early tied a horse bell to the head horse and began to hurry. It is customary for caravans to come early, but caravans who travel to and from this area all year round keep in mind an unwritten rule that if they want to go north from here, they must first go west and bypass the cemetery on the northern outskirts.
As the name suggests, this cemetery was originally used by the people of Songyang County to sacrifice the dead every year, and then it was abandoned for some reason, and the Yizhuang in it also became a burial place for unclaimed corpses. Naturally, apart from the drudgers and penniless beggars who came here with corpses that were not related to them, there were few people who came close to this place.
But I don't know when it began, those beggars who fell to Yizhuang never came out of the room again, and at night, the Yizhuang under the dark night was covered with clouds and ghosts crying wolves, and the dark wind was miserable in the fire rampant, so terrifying that people did not dare to approach. There are two lifelong corpse servants who do not believe in evil and go to the cemetery to check the whereabouts of a group of beggars, but they never return, and the rumors gradually spread more and more evil, and the original Yizhuang has become a well-known place in Songyang County and neighboring counties.
And today, this murderous place that has been ignored for a long time has ushered in two uninvited guests.
This man and woman, the man is handsome and smiling, the woman is cold as frost and indifferently forward, although the two are walking side by side, but the black and white horses are under the control of the two intentionally or unintentionally compete with each other for succession, so the two horses are very fast, but here, the two horses suddenly raised their hooves and neighed, no matter how the man spurred but no longer dared to move forward a little way.
No, the man laughed and scolded: "The little beast" jumped off the horse first, checked the horse's hooves, looked around, and saw that the grass here was not knee-long, and the distance seemed to be a black shadow and hazy could not see the truth, so he had to spread his hands and said helplessly: "Strange, could it be that the little guy stationed in the store in the morning blackened our silver and didn't feed the horses?
The man said so disapprovingly, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, Sha Feicao walked subconsciously closed his eyes, and immediately the woman was very unaffected but saw the tombs all over the place under the grass, and some places were even more crooked, it looked like it was in disrepair, and no one came to worship and repair it for a long time, and he suddenly said: "My master nameless Taoist once said that there must be a demon when things go wrong, and the horse will not go, thinking that there is something strange ahead, and this strong wind is also strange." ”
This side said, the man opened his eyes, looked around, and at this time the wind had passed and the long grass covered all the tombs, he had never seen all kinds of visions, thinking that the woman was laughing on the excuse, so he turned the horse's head back and said: "Yes, it is extreme, since there is something strange, let's go another way, and this is not the only way to go north to Anbei Protectorate!"
After the man finished speaking, he thought that the woman would agree, but unexpectedly, the woman turned over and dismounted cleanly, tied the white horse to a dead tree not far away, drew a spear on the side of the saddle, paused, and said, "I want to go and see, whether you are going or not." ”
Although he was asking, but while saying that the person had already moved forward, there was no room for compromise at all, the man hurriedly tied his horse, drew his long sword and chased forward, and kept shouting: "Hey, Miss Ye, Miss Ye, you wait......"
The two men hiked into the grass, which was knee-deep. After walking for a while, the man saw that there was nothing around except for the long grass covering, and in all kinds of boredom, he had to pull out a piece of grass and put it in the corner of his mouth, and then put the long sword on his shoulder, and said with a three-point smile: "Hey, Miss Ye, you brought me here, didn't you take a fancy to me?" ”
Ye Qianxue was indifferent, walked straight to the side and opened a bush to reveal the ruined tomb in it, and then glanced at Mo Shaoying deliberately, as if to say: "Look, what kind of ...... is this?"
Mo Shaoying saw that although the tomb was stopped, but after a stop, he relapsed, and just wanted to tease a few words, but saw that Ye Qianxue didn't say a word and swept the spear, and a row of long grass not far away under the strong wind was instantly cut in half, revealing seven or eight mottled and vicissitudes of the tomb, Mo Shaoying obviously did not expect so many tombstones to be close to him, and hurriedly spit out the grass in his mouth, and said in a loud voice: "Phew! Phew! Phew! I said that you are not taboo either?" Eighty percent of this place has been deserted for a long time, and I don't know what I will encounter in the future, even if a zongzi pops up, it's not unusual, don't turn around with me!"
After that, Mo Shaoying couldn't help but say that she wanted to pull Ye Qianxue backwards, but when she saw that the other party was not moving, she couldn't help but turn her head and said helplessly: "Miss Ye, the horses on the side of the grave will stop their hooves, and the people between the lines will be shocked! Let's not meddle in things, okay?"
Ye Qianxue clenched the barrel of the gun, and said with a slight sinking of her eyes, "I have been taught by the nameless Taoist master since I was a child, he said that meeting is fate, if it is a "good fate", then it can be natural, but if it is a "bad fate", you can't say that you have to take care of it..."
Mo Shaoying intercepted: "So you can easily get into danger?
Seeing that Ye Qianxue was silent, Mo Shaoying rolled her eyes, and said with some annoyance: "Okay, you go, the master won't accompany you!"
Mo Shaoying's words were obviously three points of anger, and seeing that Ye Qianxue was still indifferent, she simply turned around and left. But after walking a few steps, I heard that there was no movement behind me, and I thought that the arrogant eldest lady had already left on her own. There was no reason for a moment of loss in my heart, and I thought about it, it was really a loss of grace to let a big girl go on the road alone in this wilderness, and this Ye Qianxue was stubborn and lacked heart, she would definitely suffer if she left herself, not to mention that she was still the key to her own ambitions and prosperity?
This back and forth made Mo Shaoying's heart soften a little, and when she glanced back, she saw that Ye Qianxue didn't go anywhere but stood in place and looked at herself stunned, and her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw her looking back. Mo Shaoying saw the joy in her chest, and wanted to break her mouth and say: "I'm afraid, women always have to rely on men at this critical moment!"
But when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't help but change his words: "Huh! Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, I can't say that I can only sacrifice my life to accompany the beautiful woman, come on, let's go together to see what the hell is blocking our family's way." ”
Mo Shaoying had already made up her mind, and walked in front intentionally or unintentionally while gagging, faintly protecting Ye Qianxue behind her.
The two of them walked towards the depths one after the other, Ye Qianxue saw Mo Shaoying walking in front of him and striding forward, completely ignoring his feet, and couldn't help but be slightly worried: "You have been looking at the sky like this, not afraid that a snake will bite you?"
When Mo Shaoying heard this, she turned around and said: "It's rare, Miss Ye actually cares about me, but it looks stupid, you see that the two horses don't dare to approach, and there are no birds in the sky, so don't say that it is a snake or an insect here, it may not be a complete death, a big murderer!"
Ye Qianxue was choked by Mo Shaoying's words and then calmly stopped responding, Mo Shaoying continued to tease when she saw this: "Master is not scaring you, it's too late to turn back now... Don't wait until you see something unclean, your little belly and legs will tremble. ”
After finishing speaking, Ye Qianxue didn't answer but came to Mo Shaoying's front with an arrow to lead the way, Mo Shaoying couldn't help but laugh secretly when she saw her like this, and said: "It seems that there is some guts, the situation is not the worst, I hope that the people in front of me are not too fierce." ”
Although Mo Zhongqing has never seen this ghost thing in the realm, he is not unfamiliar with it, and he has also seen the "Cangyun Sutra" in the Cloud Trace School and the "Jianxuanlu" next to Qi Yanzhi, so he naturally knows about these ghosts, so although he knows that this place is fierce, he doesn't take it very seriously, you must know that the ghost thing has no physical body, and it mostly uses illusions to confuse people, as long as the mental focus is not disturbed, its illusions will be self-defeating.
The two of them did not work less than half a cup of tea, but they stepped into a barren land from the long grass, only to see that the land here was dry and cracked, and not a single inch of grass grows.
And this style of tomb, which was originally only affordable by the little rich, but due to disrepair, the tombstone is cracked and missing, not to mention, the large and small holes on the grave are densely packed, and some coffins are forcibly dragged out of half of the coffin, and they are abandoned, and there is not even a damn scavenging crow, Mo Shaoying laughed and scolded in his heart, and his face finally showed a rare dignified color.
