13. Mirror Lake departs like the wind

This hanging basket is about a square circle, woven with black and green vines, slowly rising in the mist, although everyone is uneasy, but seeing the surrounding mountain wall is like a carving, the wind is far away and the water is long, the clouds and mist are boundless, all feel that the heart is shaking, and the excitement is unbearable.

Zhao Sheng asked, "Brother Goshawk, what do you say is strange in this palace?"

The goshawk replied, "Micro...... I didn't enter it, and I didn't know it. But there must be an important secret hidden in it, otherwise why is the road so difficult and dangerous?"

Li Shuxiu had completely regained his composure at this time, recalled that he had just lost his temper, felt deep remorse, and said to everyone: "I made a big mistake just now, and I almost hurt everyone, I am really sorry." ”

The county lord of Jiuhe chuckled, walked up to her, grabbed her arm, and said softly: "Sister, you pretended to be a man before, and I almost even had my soul hooked by you, and I am still wondering where there is such a handsome boy in this world? ”

Li Shuxiu's face turned red, she only felt ashamed and landless, and she couldn't wait to find a hole to hide.

The county lord of Jiuhe said again: "But we are all women, and I know your thoughts better than anyone else." Alas, if we like which lover, let alone life and death, even if we are separated for a moment, then our hearts will be as uncomfortable as a knife, right?"

Li Shuxiu's cheeks were flushed, like a fire, but thinking about his feelings for Rapp, he felt that the county lord of Jiuhe really said that he was in his heart. The reason why she insisted on accompanying Rapp to the treasure hunt was that she didn't want to be separated from him, knowing that there was little hope for this relationship, but she couldn't give it up.

She secretly looked at everyone, and suddenly saw the goshawk looking at her, and her heart moved, and she immediately thought: What the goshawk brother said earlier, was it to persuade me to rein in the precipice?

She carefully recalled every word that the goshawk said, recalled the sword she stabbed in despair, and her heart became deeper and deeper, and she thought back to the appearance of her own madness, and then thought about her enchanted love for Rapp, only to feel that thousands of emotions came to her mind, and they were endless. But after a while, the depression in her chest gradually subsided, and she only felt refreshed, as if she had woken up from a nightmare.

She thought: I should protect Rapp and help him return to the tribe so that he can marry the girl he loves, and after that I will leave him forever and never return.

Her plan had been decided, her mind was clear, and she suddenly felt a sense of relief in her heart.

At this moment, the hanging basket shook violently, and the lord of Jiuhe County was unstable on his feet and almost fell. Li Shuxiu grabbed her wrist and helped her stand firmly. I only heard Tiande and the goshawk shouting in surprise at the same time: "It's here, we've arrived!"

Li Shuxiu looked up the mountain and saw a wilderness above the cliff, with lush green grass and flowers blooming in the clearing, and the trees on both sides were towering, and the leaves were tumbling like blue waves, as if they could touch the sun.

At the end of the wilderness, a magnificent palace like a giant tent stands majestically, the palace is made of granite and white marble, the stone pillars stand like a mountain, the eaves of Tongxuan, the three sides are in danger, the style is extraordinary, walking through the layers of stone steps, a white boulder door one foot high is in the middle.

Everyone exclaimed in unison, in awe, from the bottom of their hearts, and when they came to the stone gate, Xuanjing looked at the stone gate carefully, and asked, "Did the map say how to enter it?"

Li Linhong took out the map, looked horizontally and vertically, straightened his beard angrily, and shouted: "What kind of ghost text is written on this, Lao Tzu can't understand a word!"

Li Shuxiu said: "This is the ancient Kazakh text, Brother Li, you can show me the map, I promise not to destroy it, is it?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and let out a burst of laughter, Li Linhong handed the map to Li Shuxiu, and said with a smile: "Miss Li, no one believes you, can your brother Li not believe you? Who let us be a family a thousand years ago?"

Li Shuxiu smiled, unfolded the map, looked at it for a while, and said: "This stone door can be opened from the inside of the palace, or there is a wooden beam above this corridor that is slightly lighter in color, and there is an iron cable on the wooden beam, as long as you pull the iron cable, the stone door can be opened." ”

Everyone looked up together, looked up for a while, the goshawk was sharp-eyed, and shouted, "Found it!" Leaping hard, he jumped into the air ten feet high on the smooth stone wall, stretched out his hand to pull the wooden beam, turned over, and climbed up.

Everyone cheered in unison, how is the internal strength of his swordsmanship, although Li Shuxiu has fought with him for a moment, but she can't see it for a while, but this light skill is revealed, and it is really quite smart, but there is no order, there is no trace, and there seems to be no sect routine.

Suddenly, I only heard a trembling scream from the wooden beam, and then there was a loud noise, the goshawk snorted, and pulled out the long sword, the sword light flickered, like a cloud of chaos and lightning, like a wave of surging waves, and a loud squeak beside him, Li Shuxiu flashed several black shadows in front of his eyes, and saw several black animals falling from above.

Tiande Taoist said: "This is a bat! But how can it ...... Why is it so big?"

When everyone looked at it, they were all shocked, and saw that the bat was the size of a three-year-old child, with dark eyes and a hideous face, and fell to the ground motionless, thinking that it had been stabbed to death by a goshawk.

The goshawk jumped from the wooden beam, his clothes in tatters and his skin showing new scars, and he shouted, "This corridor is full of bats!

When everyone looked up, their faces turned pale with fright, and they saw that the dense black bats opened their eyes at this time and were looking at the people on the corridor fiercely. At this moment, the wooden door made a dull loud noise, slowly opened, and everyone rushed over in a panic.

The bats circled outside the house, screaming piercingly, but they seemed to be quite afraid of the palace, and the crowd stared nervously at the monsters, fearing that they would break in, and after a while, the stone door slowly closed on its own, and in the midst of a loud earthquake, it completely cut off the outside scene.

Goshawk took a long breath and said with a smile: "No one has been here in this palace for hundreds of years, and these bats are endless, almost occupying the corridors of this palace. ”

Li Shuxiu asked: "Brother Goshawk, your injury ......?"

The goshawk didn't bother to look at it at all, and looked like it was nothing, and said, "Such a small injury, why worry about it." As he spoke, he took out the kettle and hurriedly cleaned the wound. He adhered to the way of responding to all changes with the same, and no matter what injuries he dealt with, he only washed them with water, and everyone looked at them and disagreed with them in their hearts.

Li Shuxiu frowned when he saw it, and said, "You deal with it so indiscriminately, if the wound becomes inflamed and swollen, it will be bad at that time." Walked up to the goshawk, tore off a corner of his robe, washed it in clean water, helped the goshawk wrap the wound on his arm, and dotted the acupuncture points to stop the bloodflow.

The goshawk's eyes were full of gratitude, and he said sincerely: "The girl has a blue heart, a bodhisattva's heart, and she is deeply benefited from it, and she is grateful." ”

Li Shuxiu's face was feverish when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You have saved me and Rapp several times, do we still want to continue to be polite?"

It turned out that he had been repeatedly injured this time, and these wounds had become a mess, which was really difficult to deal with, and Xuanjing's injuries were much lighter than his, and his movement was already quite inconvenient. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been unable to move in pain for a long time, but he could still move freely, which is really incredible.

She thought for a while, and was at a loss, so she had to give up for the time being.

While she was bandaging the goshawk, the crowd had already scattered and walked around the hall.

This hall is extremely grand and vast, I don't know how high it is, but it is more than 30 zhang long and wide, the light in the hall is dim, the dust is scattered, the air is blocked, but it does not affect the breathing. Thick stone pillars stand on both sides of the main hall, there is a luxurious chair at the end of the main hall, the chair is carved on both sides of the blue wolf and green deer, the appearance is very spiritual.

The county lord of Jiuhe called out in surprise, ran to the chair, stared at the two sculptures, and said happily: "This is the blue wolf and green deer, which is the symbol of our Mongolian ancestors." It seems that this barbarian king also has a lot of connections with our Mongols. ”

Li Shuxiuqi said: "This barbarian tribe is the ancestor of the Kazakh tribe, how can it have anything to do with your Mongolian tribe?"

The county lord of Jiuhe naturally couldn't figure it out, and Xuanjing muttered: "I'm afraid that Naiman heard this legend from the Mongolian tribe, so he introduced it into his own origin history." ”

Li Shuxiu raised her eyebrows and said, "Maybe the Mongolian people borrowed the legend of Naiman." ”

Xuanjing laughed and said, "I can't figure it out since I was poor, but we're not here to explore this ancient rumor, Miss Li, what should we do next?"

Li Shuxiu took out the map and flipped to the part of the palace, but the light in the palace was too dim, and although she had a keen eye, she couldn't see clearly.

She asked, "Brother Goshawk, do you have a flint and fire sickle? Let's light a torch and look at the map." ”

Before the goshawk could answer, he only heard the Mongolian soldier beside the county lord of Jiuhe say: "I have a fire break here, come here to see!"

Li Shuxiu nodded, stood up, and came to the Mongolian soldier's side, the Mongolian soldier waved his hand, and a fire lit up, Li Shuxiu just wanted to look at the map by the firelight, but the fire seemed to be quite unstable, and suddenly extinguished.

The Mongol soldier shouted, "The air here is dull, and the fire is not easy to light, girl, give me the map, and let's try our luck over there." ”

Li Shuxiu didn't have him, followed him to the corner of a stone wall, the man reached out and took the map, shook the fire again, and stared at the map intently. Li Shuxiu saw that he was tall, and his shadow happened to block her vision, and said, "Let me take a look." ”

Goshawk suddenly said: "This brother, he speaks Chinese really well. ”

The county lord of Jiuhe was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Zamule, when did you learn to speak Chinese?"

Zamul threw the fire at Li Shuxiu's eyes, Li Shuxiu reacted quickly, dodged away, and saw the fire swish, like a sleeve arrow, slashing past her cheek.

Xuanjing said angrily, "What are you doing, return the map!" and waved his palm at Zamul.

Zamul let out a long roar, waved a palm, and touched Xuanjing in the air, Xuanjing only felt that the opponent's internal force was as turbulent as waves, and he was caught off guard for a while, and he was suffocated by his breath, and was repelled by Zamule, slamming into the wall, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

Zamul shook slightly, exhaled a puff of turbidity, his body was like the wind, and in an instant he ran to the throne, fiddling with the two statues slightly, and he didn't know what to do, and he disappeared behind the throne in an instant.
