Chapter 708: Mituo Palace
Hua Bushi left a banner of Thunderbolt camp disciples at the entrance of the cave to guard, and then gathered everyone to march forward.
The valley is very secluded, and one of the bluestone paths winds through the mountains and forests, leading deep into the valley. Everyone walked on the path, walked a cup of tea, turned several corners, and passed through several dense woods, but saw a dark gray hanging corner cornice exposed between the branches and leaves of the green trees in the distance.
When I got closer, I found that behind the woods, in front of the bluestone road, there was a rather majestic palace-like building, which looked like a temple.
This temple looks very simple and old, think that it has been built for many years, the stone steps in front of the door are covered with moss, two black lacquer doors are closed, and there are three pale golden characters on the forehead: "Mida Palace".
The people in the demon path call themselves "Mida Pure Land Sect", and this temple is called "Mida Temple", so it must have been built by them.
With a wave of his hand, the eighty disciples of the two banners of the Perak Battalion quickly outflanked the temple from both sides, surrounded the temple, and each raised his musket to aim at the temple, while he himself walked up the stone steps with his sword and walked towards the temple gate.
Liu Yuanhe strode over, and seeing that his uncle stepped forward, Yuan Xi did not lag behind, and he also followed up.
With a loud bang, Li Hu kicked open the closed black lacquer door, and the three of them jumped into the door at the same time.
There was no sound of fighting inside the door, but after a while, Liu Yuanhe's voice came from the door: "This temple is empty, and there is no one!"
Hearing this, Hua Bushi, Chu Yiyi and others stepped up the stone steps one after another and walked into this temple.
This hall is really not small, more than enough to accommodate 100 people, the ground is paved with old square bricks, among which a stone platform three or four feet high is enshrined, enshrined a reclining statue of Maitreya Buddha, round belly like a ball, smiling and smiling, the plaque on the red lacquered wooden pillars on both sides reads:
The big belly can tolerate, and the world is intolerable;
Laugh when you open your mouth, laugh at the ridiculous people in the world.
The horizontal plaque in the center reads "Be at ease" in four golden words.
Under the Buddha statue, there is an offering table, an incense burner, the residual incense in the furnace is not exhausted, and there are wooden fish and ** next to it, which looks no different from ordinary temples. It's just that although there is a temple, there are no monks, and there is not a single figure of a demon Taoist sect in this hall, but it makes people feel a little unusual.
"Isn't it that someone from the Demon Dao saw us coming and fled earlier?" Chu Yiyi said.
Hua Bushi pondered for a moment and said, "There is still residual incense in the incense burner, and they should have just left." The terrain of this valley is complex, and the mountains are high and dense, and there are many dangerous places, so it is not appropriate to act rashly, so I think it is better to use this temple as a stronghold first, and send disciples to search around. ”
Chu Yiyi said: "The son's words are reasonable, and the concubine also feels that this valley is full of weirdness, so it's better to be careful." This Mida Hall is very solid, and the surrounding terrain is relatively flat and empty, which is just convenient for garrisoning. ”
The more open and flat the place, the more powerful the musket can be. Hua Bushi immediately ordered everyone to set up guards on all sides of the temple, and sent twenty disciples to search the valley in different directions to find out the situation.
The valley was full of slopes and woods, and it was impossible to see far from it, and I didn't know how big the whole valley was, and I didn't know where the people in the demon path were, so it was better to send scouts to find out the situation than to run around like headless flies.
This valley is a secret place of the Demon Dao, so it won't be very safe. In addition to the disciples who were sent to explore the path, the other Thunderbolt battalions and more than 100 ** halls of Qingyunwei were heavily defended inside and outside to prevent the enemy from attacking.
However, by noon, two hours had passed, and the expected attack had not arrived, and the scouts had returned.
According to the exploration of these disciples, this valley is about ten miles long and three or four miles wide, and there are steep rocky mountains that cannot be climbed on all sides, and there is no other path out of the valley except for the tunnel that I entered before.
The valley is full of hills, the forest is densely planted, but there are no people, let alone camps and villages, this Mi Tuo Hall is the only building in the whole valley.
After carefully inquiring about the various disciples who were sent to investigate, Hua Bushi sat on the stone steps in front of the Mituo Palace, looking at the mountains and forests in the distance and contemplating.
Chu Yiyi walked to his side and sat down, looked at the eldest young master with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said, "There is no camp in this valley, could it be that they just built this temple here, but in fact, the nest is not here?"
Hua Bushi said: "Of course this is also possible. However, such a hidden valley is an excellent place to build a base, how can the people of the Demon Dao only build a temple? In my opinion, their lair should be here, but we haven't found it. ”
Chu Yiyi said: "What does Gongzi mean, is it that he thinks that there is another secret passage in this valley, leading to the lair of the Demon Dao?"
Hua Bushi didn't answer, and only said after a while: "Let's withdraw from this valley first!"
Chu Yiyi was stunned and said, "If we withdraw like this, won't we give up halfway?"
Hua Bushi said: "Since I have entered this valley, I can be regarded as having gained, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find the secret passage leading to the devil's lair for a while, and most of the other party has already known that we have entered the valley, so they must have taken precautions." It's better for us to retreat as advance, first retreat to the outside of the valley and wait, let the people in the demon path make some moves, and then we can deal with it later. ”
If you searched in the cave outside the mountain before, it was lucky to find the secret passage into the valley by coincidence, and now this valley is more than ten miles in circumference, which is much larger than the cave, and if you want to search in the valley to find the secret passage of the mechanism, it is tantamount to finding a needle.
That's why Hua Bushi thought it was better to let the people in the Demon Dao show up on their own than to search in vain. And although this valley is warm like spring and the scenery is beautiful, there is always a strangeness, which makes people faintly feel a dangerous atmosphere, and entering this valley is like stepping into a deadly trap, which is also the reason why the eldest young master wants to evacuate earlier.
Chu Yiyi also understood the meaning of Hua Bushi's words, and said: "Okay, let's get out of the valley as soon as possible, as long as we stay close to the left, we are not afraid that we will not be able to find traces of people in the demon path." ”
Hua Bushi nodded, stood up from the stone steps, and was about to give an order, but suddenly saw Liu Yuanhe hurriedly walking out of the hall.
"Young Master Hua, Biyun felt a little uncomfortable, it seemed that the Gu poison in his body had attacked!" Before he could get closer, Liu Yuanhe said loudly.
This Great Elder's face was disgusting and kind, since he recognized Huang Biyun as a righteous daughter, he had been quite concerned about her, and his anxious expression was overflowing at this time.
Hua Bushi was slightly stunned when he heard this. Previously, in the secret cellar of the Lingdu Temple, he carefully probed Huang Biyun's wrist veins and knew that she had Gu poison in her body, but the toxicity was temporarily suppressed, and it should not have an attack within a few days, thinking that it was because he had taken the antidote of "Bear Bile Leopard Heart Pill".
Therefore, Hua Bushi planned to wait for the end of this battle and return to Mengjin City to find a way to remove the poison for her, firstly, because there was a lack of medicine here, and secondly, it was not easy to solve the Gu poison, at least it had to be done wholeheartedly for half a day, which was not very convenient in the current crisis, but he did not expect her Gu poison to attack so quickly.
Hua Bushi immediately said, "Elder Liu, don't be in a hurry, wait for me to take a look." ”
Huang Biyun's situation is really bad.
She curled up in a ball in the corner of the hall, her face pale, her teeth trembling, her body trembling, as if she felt extremely cold.
Little by little, dark red blood spots the size of soybeans were emerging from under the skin on her neck and cheeks at a visible rate, and her eyes were hollow, and the expression on her face was blank, as if she had lost consciousness.
Hua Bushi walked quickly to Huang Biyun's side, picked up her wrist vein and probed it for a moment, then glanced at the red spots on her neck, and said with a solemn face: "It seems that Miss Biyun has indeed had a Gu poison attack." There are not enough medicinal materials here, so I can only use the silver needle puncture technique to temporarily control the poisonous Gu in her body so that it will not spread and become fatal, and then try to detoxify her when I get out of this valley. ”
Liu Yuanhe said: "Then please ask Young Master Hua to come to the rescue quickly, I think she won't be able to support her like this for long!"
Hua Bushi's gaze swept around the hall and said, "Please ask Elder Liu to help carry Miss Biyun to the back of the Buddha statue over there, and I will perform spells on her there." ”
Liu Yuanhe did not hesitate, leaned over to pick up Huang Biyun, and strode towards the back of the Maitreya Buddha statue, and Hua Bushi also followed quickly.
The statue of the Buddha and the stone platform at the base are quite large, surrounded by several curtains on both sides, and behind it is a space five or six feet wide, because of the obscuration of the Buddha statue, no one else in the main hall can see here.
Seeing that Liu Yuanhe put Huang Biyun on the ground and lay down, Hua Bushi said: "The silver needle puncture point must be removed from the clothes, and I also ask Elder Liu to avoid it for a while." ”
Liu Yuanhe nodded and said, "Then Biyun asked Young Master Hua to save him!" After that, he turned around and walked out.
Hua Bushi said to Ximen Hitomi on the side: "Ah Tong, you should go out first." ”
Since Yang Jiangyi left, whenever he traveled, at least one of Ximen Tong and Li Hu would follow Hua Bushi's side to protect his safety. At this moment, Li Hu was organizing the disciples of the Thunderbolt Camp outside the hall to explore the valley, and following Hua Bushi was Ximen Hitomi.
After listening to the words of the eldest young master, Ximen Hitomi agreed and withdrew.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Hua Bushi took a ** from the side, sat down in front of Huang Biyun, and reached out to untie her clothes. However, when Hua Bushi's gaze inadvertently glanced at her cheeks, he suddenly saw a flash in his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but feel a pang!
She had a Gu poison attack, she had already lost consciousness, why did her eyes still move?
