Pour the glass

The time has come, and the pine forest is silent.

After Ziyuan made arrangements to be on duty at Haoling tonight, she hurried to Cangsong Forest.Ye Lingxi arrived a quarter earlier than her, and besides Jin Nu, Yan Ge was also with her.

Zi Yuan saw Yan Ge for the first time, and couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, who is this?"

"A demon boy in troubled times, Yan Ge, a sinful girl." Before Ye Lingxi could introduce herself, Yan Ge had already introduced herself in this way, and after she finished speaking, she looked at Ye Lingxi, "Tonight is seventeen, so it can be regarded as a safe passage into the ravine." It’s a good day, without further ado, if the princess is ready, she can go.”

Ye Lingxi nodded, "I'm ready." After speaking, she shook her short sword and took a deep breath.

Yan Ge reported to her the day before yesterday, talking about the various guard points of Haoling, and the only possibility to enter the underground palace of Haoling. The layout is too familiar, it is inevitable that these people will return to the imperial mausoleum to steal in the future, often these craftsmen are directly trapped in the underground palace by the broken dragon stone without knowing it.Naturally, people seek survival, not death. Over the years, some unwilling craftsmen would secretly leave behind a secret way of survival when building the imperial mausoleum.

This way of life is the only possibility to enter the underground palace, and it is also the only safe way to avoid those complicated organs.

According to Yan Ge's investigation, the entire Haoling Mausoleum stands on the mountain, gathering wind and water.The rocks are hard, and even if you can find a place where there is no guard patrolling to drill a hole, it will not be possible to do it in just a few days.Since mountains cannot be drilled, we can only think about water.The mountain is undulating, and the most upright place is where the underground palace of the Haoling Mausoleum is located. Behind this mountain peak is a bottomless mountain stream named Guhong.

No one dares to climb the cliffs on both sides of the mountain stream at will. One is because the mountain stream is always shrouded in mist, and it is difficult to distinguish things within one step. The other is because there are many snake holes on the cliffs on both sides of the mountain stream. You can smell a fishy smell.

Some people say that this guhong mountain stream is a place for asuras. If the weather is clear and clear, and the mountain mist is slightly dispersed, you can see many bones and corpses hanging on the mountain wall.No one knows where these bones and remains come from, so everyone is guessing that these bones and remains are people who went to the mountains to collect medicine, and were dragged to the cliffs on both sides by the poison in the mountain stream. Only by enjoying it will we leave behind such a tragic scene.

The most dangerous place is the most likely way out.Yan Ge didn't dare to conclude that there would be a way to enter the underground palace here, but during the day, she saw the remaining ax marks on the mountain wall by the Guhong mountain stream.These ax marks are not marks left by ordinary axes.Yan Ge has been casting in Fengshui Nine Wells for six years, and he is familiar with the regulations of various weapons and even utensils—the ax that can leave such traces must be a good chiseled steel ax that can only be equipped by craftsmen who build mausoleums .Since the ax mark can be left on the mountain wall, whether it is for entering the stream or exiting the stream, this person must also be a craftsman who participated in the construction of the tomb, then there must be a way to enter the underground palace under the guhong mountain stream.

Ziyuan had never heard of herself being introduced like this before. She had heard the rumors about the demon boy in troubled times, but she didn't want to see this legendary 15-year-old girl living in Haoling here, but she didn't know how to answer the conversation.

Ye Lingxi snickered and said, "This is the first time I've seen you speechless." After speaking, Ye Lingxi didn't wait for Zi Yuan to speak, and asked Jin Nu, "Is the realgar rice portion ready? "

Jin Nu nodded, "Everything is ready."

"Well, we have to come back before dawn. It's not too late. Let's go." Ye Lingxi nodded, indicating that the four of them could act.

It is rare for Ziyuan to be silent all the way, and she just glanced at Yan Ge from time to time. Ever since she first met, Ziyuan has always felt uneasy in her heart—the rumors of the demon boy in troubled times are so frightening, this little girl will really have Such an ability to overthrow the world?

Yan Ge stared back at Ziyuan coldly, "Captain Qi, what do you mean?"

Ziyuan quickly retracted her gaze, shook her head and said, "I'm being rude, I'm just curious about the rumors about the demon boy in troubled times."

"Since ancient times, there have been many unjust rumors. If you believe them, the rumors are true. If you don't believe them, why should you care about them?" After Yan Ge finished speaking coldly, he ignored Zi Yuan and walked straight to Ye Lingxi. , reminded: "This mountain road is difficult, Her Royal Highness, be careful."

Ye Lingxi nodded and smiled lightly, glanced quietly at Ziyuan's shriveled appearance, and secretly said joyfully in her heart: "There is finally someone in this world who can tell you the truth!"

Ziyuan was holding back her words, so she could only hold back her words, coughed twice, and simply stopped thinking about the rumor of the demon boy in troubled times, and glanced at the tall and straight pines on both sides from time to time, in case any beasts came from the forest. Rush out.

The four of them walked carefully for about half an hour, and finally avoided the guards of Haoling and came to the edge of Guhong Mountain.

Under the bleak moonlight, the lavender mountain mist floated in the mountain stream, adding a touch of strangeness.A strong stench came over the nostrils, prompting the four of them to take out the prepared veils from their arms and cover their faces.

"Three days after the full moon, snakes and insects are always tired and lazy in their lairs, quietly absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, so if you go down this mountain stream today, you will encounter fewer snakes and insects." Yan Ge walked to the mountain stream first On the side, looked carefully, then turned to Jin Nu and said, "Smear all the realgar rice on the skin, we should go down along these chisel marks."

Jin Nu nodded, took out four packets of realgar rice from his bosom, and handed each of them a packet.

The four of them spread the realgar rice on their skin and put the rest in their bosoms for emergencies.

Ziyuan walked to the edge of the mountain stream, poked her head out, glanced at the bottomless mountain stream, shook her head and asked, "Are we just climbing down the rock empty-handed like this?"

Yan Ge replied: "Captain Qi, if you don't dare, you can stay here."

Ziyuan smiled and said: "I'm sure I dare, but, Her Royal Highness, the daughter of the princess, can't afford to lose, it's better..." Ziyuan opened the bag on her shoulder, took out a long rope in it, and saw her Looking around, he tied one end of the long rope firmly to a boulder, pulled hard, and saw that the boulder hadn't moved at all, so he threw the other end of the long rope down the mountain stream with peace of mind.

"It's a mistake. We can climb down with bare hands. If someone accidentally catches the air, we can grab the rope immediately so that we don't fall." Ziyuan explained, turning her head and smiling at Ye Lingxi. "Your Highness, let the young ones take the lead here!" After finishing speaking, Ziyuan took a deep breath, stepped on a small hollow made by an ax on the wall of the ravine, stabilized her center of gravity, and went down carefully. climb up.

"Your Highness, the servants and Xiaoge will be the queens." After Jinnu finished speaking, she carefully supported Ye Lingxi and climbed down the mountain stream.

The four of them climbed down one by one, and sometimes they couldn't find the concave hole chiseled by the axe. The long rope prepared by Ziyuan could just help a little bit, and took advantage of the situation to move up and down.

"call--"

The clothes fluttered, and a purple shadow fell on the side of the mountain stream. She first carefully checked whether the long rope was strong, and then looked around vigilantly. Seeing the silence, she breathed a sigh of relief , murmured: "You are such a stinky girl who doesn't make people worry!"

The moonlight is like water, illuminating her eyebrows and eyes, who is it if it's not Ah Ling?

"Hehehe..." The cold laughter followed like a shadow.

Ah Ling hurriedly turned her head, "I guessed correctly, you just want to attack that stinky girl!"

Ayejie jumped out from the shadows, fixedly looked at Ah Ling, and said with a smile: "So what if you guessed right? The world is impermanent, you think you can control the overall situation, even if I let you control the overall situation, you can't change it My own end. Huangling, if you are willing to beg me, obediently follow me back to Shangjing to reproduce the Gu Emperor, I can still consider keeping these people's lives."

"Idiots talking about dreams!" A-Ling stepped back vigilantly, approaching the long rope, no matter what, this is the way of life for that stinking girl, so she must keep it!

Ayejie smiled coldly, "Let me tell you, what is the scariest thing in this mountain stream? Even if you hold on to this long rope, you can't save the lives of those ignorant and stupid girls below!"

"What do you mean?" Ah Ling's heart tightened, and she couldn't help clenching her fists.

Ayejie said with a smile: "The most terrifying thing under this Guhong mountain stream is not the snakes and insects on the rock walls, but the natural Gu mother that grows in the bottom of the mountain stream - bone Gu. Since you know what the Emperor Gu is, it is impossible I've never heard of the power of bone Gu." As he spoke, Ayejie said softly as if reminding him, "The flesh and blood are gone, leaving only the bones."

When these eight words came out of Ayejie's mouth, it was such an understatement, but when it fell into the bottom of A Ling's heart, it was as shocking as a thunderbolt.

Bone Gu was born in the mountains and rivers. A-Ling originally thought that this kind of bone Gu that specializes in eating human flesh and blood only existed in ancient records, but he didn't want to actually exist after the imperial tomb.

Ayejie took out a small black box from his sleeve, held it in the palm of his hand, and said with a smile: "My palm Gu, you should know that it is the Little Emperor Gu specially restrained from bone Gu, if you are willing to go back with me, I will help you Save them."

"Are you threatening me?" Ah Ling asked tremblingly.

Ayejie smiled to himself: "Could it be possible to find a person whose life can threaten you? I feel extremely happy. It turns out that Princess Huangling, who has no heart, will eventually have a long heart."

There was a faint bleak smile on the corner of Ah Ling's mouth, "So, I really have no choice today."

Ayejie nodded and smiled, approached Ah Ling, stretched out his hand, and caressed Ah Ling's cold cheek, "Don't be afraid, the Reproduction Emperor Gu actually doesn't hurt at all, it's like being pregnant for me Our child, I will love you well..."

"Really?" Ah Ling raised her head, her eyes were filled with tears, even she didn't know whether these tears were from fear or despair, "Reproduction of the Emperor Gu is death, if you don't follow today, probably... also die?"

Ayejie laughed and said, "How could I be willing to kill you?"

A Ling flicked Ayejie's hand away, and suddenly flashed to the side of the mountain stream, she saw her holding on to the long rope tightly, and laughed hoarsely: "This long rope will always be in my hands, if you break the rope, Even if I die, your Emperor Gu will also die at that time, I want to see what path you choose this time!" After speaking, Ah Ling turned around and jumped down the mountain stream without hesitation.

"You...stupid woman!" Ayejie chased halfway, but still had no time to catch the falling Ling, his dark green eyes were full of shock and anger, "No one has ever threatened me, never!"
