Chapter XXIV Drawing of Lots
Wang Meng was brought to the stage, he trembled, the man who fell was dead, his body had been dragged away, and Daddy Liao forced the bamboo stick into Wang Meng's hand.
As he opened the lottery again, everyone opened the bamboo sticks one by one, and sure enough, Yuhan didn't hit, she knew in her heart that Cang Lei must have done something in the lot, and then told her to save her. was secretly celebrating herself, but she heard a familiar crying sound in her ears, it turned out that Wang Meng had been drawn, and there was another strong man in Tsing Yi.
Wang Meng trembled all over, his feet were about to be unable to stand, he knew in his heart what the fate would be next, how could he not have thought that this was nothing to do with him, because of his own hand pain, Prince Gaji glanced at him obliquely, a nervous, and then trembling, he sprinkled hot water on the robe of the Gaji prince, and all disasters befell him, and death smashed the young man's heart in horror.
"Hahaha! The person who carried out the task has been chosen, please ask Prince Gaji and the two elders to confirm. With a cold expression on Daddy Liao's face, he said in a deep voice.
"I, I, I'm not going, please let me go!" Wang Meng cried out, his voice extremely sad and frightened.
"Don't argue, what a glorious task this is, you should feel extremely proud and glad, hahaha! This is the will of God, you don't want to go, unless one of these eight people takes the initiative to replace you, but this is a dream!" Daddy Liao sneered.
"Slow, you let him go, change me. A woman's voice was not loud, but it resounded throughout the cave.
Everyone was stunned, how could there really be such a person who was not afraid of death, and all eyes were focused on a woman in a pale yellow dress. She walked out of the crowd slowly and elegantly, so calm and unhurried.
Everyone in the entire cave showed surprise on their faces, and Daddy Liao's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth hooked up into a smile that was not obvious.
The three people in the pavilion stood up in unison, and Elder Xing took the lead in applauding: "Okay, good, this is a glorious task, take the initiative to take it, and be a sparring boy, great, you must reward it well, third, you take charge of it." ”
"Yes, Great Elder, tonight, put the two of them in the Guishi House, serve them well, and treat them with good wine and food. Elder Lei instructed, "How is it?"
"Well, that's good, let's disperse!" "Senior Elder Xing was very happy, "Third Brother, you have to pay attention to safety, the Witch Devouring Ancestor will definitely be upgraded to the top level in this or two days, and then we will not be afraid of anything." ”
"Yes, Grand Elder. ”
"Second Feng, is there any news?"
"No, he should have come back with the Taihan army, he found out the news of the army all the way, created chaos between sects, and secretly protected the safety of the second prince, but there was no information in the past two days. ”
"He's the most methodical and steady of the four of us, so he shouldn't have a problem. ”
"Great Elder, don't worry, Second Brother Feng will be fine. ”
"The sect leader is in retreat at the old altar in the desert to practice the blood and corpse transformation skill, accompanied by the fourth brother, I am also not worried about here, I heard that all the major sects have already sent people to Huayin City, I am afraid that you will not be able to cope with it alone. ”
"Great Elder, it seems that there is no sect to cause trouble. ”
"That's good, but we can't take it lightly and take all precautions. ”
"Well, the Great Elder is relieved. ”
Gui stone house, the most beautiful and comfortable place in the cave, this open space is not too big, there are six stone houses in a row against the cave wall, there is an underground stream in front of the door, and the osmanthus trees are planted all around, and the fragrance hits people. In the stone house, beds, quilts, tables and chairs are all available. This should be where the guests are usually entertained.
Yuhan and the man in Tsing Yi were brought here, locked in a stone hut each, and during dinner, good food, hot water, and so on were brought to them.
Yuhan is not polite, she enjoys it, and she doesn't know how many days there are left, one day is a day, and she should sleep and eat.
When she was brought here by the men in black, one of the men in black secretly stuffed a note to Yuhan, and when she arrived at the house, she opened it and looked: Don't panic, princess, there should be three more days, I will inform the prince tonight, and we will attack Huayin City tomorrow night, and we will enter the cave to save you, Cang.
Yuhan smiled slightly, his heart became calmer, and then tore the note to shreds.
Late at night, the surroundings were very quiet, only the sound of insects was heard, I am afraid that even the guards were napping, an extremely slight voice: "Sister, are you asleep?"
Yuhan heard it clearly, she was not tied up now, she didn't even have an anklet, but the doors and windows were locked.
She gently pierced the window paper with her fingers, "Who? ”
"Well, sister, it's me, I'm sorry for you, it's me who has caused you trouble. ”
"It's okay, don't worry, we'll be rescued soon, are you still doing chores?"
"Yes,"
"Go back, don't come here, it's very dangerous, if you are caught and killed, my sister will save you in vain, let's go!
"Woo woo, sister. They said that they would send you to the Witch Eater at dawn. ”
"Oh, so fast, sister is not afraid, you can go back first, go back quickly, don't let anyone find out. ”
"Mmmmmmmmmm ”
"Okay, let's go. ”
It's quiet again.
Yuhan sat in the dark, holding his knees with his hands, resting his chin on his knees, his black eyes flashing: Send it early tomorrow morning, Canglei must have gone to report the news, let them save him, but he must not have expected that they would act early tomorrow morning, hey!
Xu Yao's cold face appeared in front of him again, and that anxious and angry look, which has been imprinted in his mind these days, how is he, when can he call, it will be late tomorrow night, I am afraid I will never see it again, the man in black during the day is Cang Lei, he is lurking in the cave, he went to tell Xu Yao about the situation here, but he said that there are three days, and now it is .......
In the darkness, another dusty immortal, dressed in white, Xiao Moran appeared, did he come to gather, and said that he would come together to destroy this evil witch devouring sect, why is it not yet. And Meng'er, maybe Meng'er is also locked up somewhere in this cave, they have been suffering for almost a month, and they must live.
The figure of the master and her kind face appeared, treating herself as her own, she gave her motherly love, she dedicated her all to the Red Leaf Warm Pavilion, if she knew about her death, would she be sad.
Grandpa, he is old, the last time he went back to Qingyan Town to see his old man, he was already white-haired, with a slightly hunched back, he was his pride, and everyone talked about it, his granddaughter was the eldest disciple of Hongye Nuan Pavilion, if he really died, I am afraid that the saddest person should be him.
......
Xiao Moran of Yanhua City gathered people from various sects in front of the inn, all dressed in black, he crushed the note in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, more than a hundred figures flew towards Huayin City.
In the mountains and forests, a man in black strode into the barracks with a long whip in his hand, Wo Longsheng had already reorganized the troops, Xu Yao held the long whip high: "Brothers, the people of Huayin City are waiting for us, let's go to exterminate the evil sect, kill the demonic beasts, rescue the princess, and set off." ”
Outside the city of Milo on the border of the Utopian Kingdom, the 100,000 military camps of the Taihan Kingdom are continuous, flags are flying, and soldiers patrol outside the barracks.
On the city wall, the soldiers of the Utonian country are also in full array, refusing to let go, and it seems that a battle will break out at any time. But this confrontation has been going on for three or four days.
Min Yuqi of Kunlong Palace in the barracks was restless and shouted: "I want to see the third prince, why do you lock us in the camp tent and refuse to go out, what do you mean?"
"The prince has an order, for your safety, you can't be allowed to move around casually, and the prince has no time to meet you. The officer at the door said.
"Brother Min, don't worry, come, come and drink tea. Xu Jiaxiang hurriedly pulled Min Yuqi to the table.
Min Yuqi shook his head helplessly.
......
In the blink of an eye, the sky was bright, and the light came through the many holes in the roof of the cave, and even a few beams of sunlight came in, and the white flowers on the osmanthus tree could be seen, and the fragrance filled the whole cave, which was really the most beautiful place in the cave.
"I can't imagine that there is such a beautiful place in this evil place. ”
Suddenly, a roar came from the depths of the cavern, and the earth shook. A group of black-clothed men rushed over, led by Elder Lei.
Elder Lei looked at Yu Han: "Miss Yu, originally I wanted to send you to the national teacher of Tianluo Country later, and then take you away when your husband delivers the letter." However, now I can't do anything, after all, the Great Elder is here, all of them are in his eyes, and they can't be changed, and the Witch Devouring Ancestor is the most important. ”
"Understood, thank you Elder Lei for your kindness. Yuhan knew that he might have believed his words, but it was all his willing.
Blindfolded by them, Yuhan and the strong man walked for a long distance, up another flight of steps, and then opened a stone door, and finally stopped, feeling a cold air coming.
"Stand still, the place has arrived. Elder Lei said, "Everyone else is retreating. ”
After some hectic, noisy footsteps, there was a muffled closing of the door, followed by deathly silence.
Yuhan took off the blindfolded black cloth, and the scene in front of her couldn't help but make her gasp: the entrance of the cave was very cold, the yin wind kept coming from the cave, the air was humid and full of fishy smell, the strange rocks on the top of the cave were craggy, and the drooping stone tips were dripping with water droplets, and the depths of the cave were pitch black, and there seemed to be four large beads with blue light in the darkness, staring closely at Yuhan and the strong man, two huge flames were rising and shrinking.
The strong man had already begun to tremble, and with a "plop" sound, he fell to his knees on the ground, constantly pleading, and his mouth made a muttered muttering sound.
Suddenly, the wind twisted, the red light flashed, and the strong man was thrown into the air, followed by a terrible wail, and was immediately swallowed by the darkness.
Seeing this, Yuhan felt a chill down her back, her neck straightened, her body stiffened, cold sweat flowed, staring at the two red flames, she kept retreating, and her back was already attached to the cold stone door.
