Chapter 38 Chapter Thirty-Eighth Only My General (3)

Qingmei got off the horse quickly with us, and led us to a small path, where there was a hanging flower door opening with a living spring. I remember that the child came here when he was fleeing for his life, and it was indeed another entrance. Qingmei said: "This is actually an exit, because I don't have a purple fish talisman on me, and I can't return to the entrance of Xin Pavilion to enter, so I have to use a coincidence to enter from here, but there are century-old masters guarding this gate, we need to wait Be careful." I just nodded, Qingmei reached out to fish in the living spring, and immediately the wall moved to the side, we came in, in front of us were all cold and precipitous cliffs, steep strange rocks, and the gentle and precious purple garden above us On the contrary, everyone who lowered their heads was startled, it turns out that there is a vast depth below, only a dark river rushing by.Before I could speak, Qingmei had already slapped me on the back, knocked me off the cliff, then flew down, caught up with me who was screaming in mid-air, grabbed my left hand and fell together, almost simultaneously flying And down, hold my right hand and bring me to the ground smoothly.

"Hey, you..." I guessed that Qi Fang wanted to protest against Qing Mei's brutal methods, but immediately countless small arrow feathers shot towards where we went, and even the nearby rocks were razed to the ground.The arrow feather seemed to have eyes, and it shot down with us all the way, Qingmei pulled us to hide behind a boulder, and came out cautiously after the whistling sound passed. Only then did I realize that we had reached the bottom of the valley, but in front of my eyes was an extremely dark water surface, and the purple torrent rolled with white foam and flowed across a huge, gloomy monument in the middle of the river.The huge monument has long been scoured to have a rounded head and rounded corners, and four lines of ancient characters are written on it flying like dragons and phoenixes: Immortal bones are buried in the purple sand demon mound.

This seems to be a poem to warn intruders here. Anyone who has committed greed, anger, and ignorance, comes here, whether it is a fairy or a demon, they will be buried here. You can still sing and dance in this place. Once you break through After entering the other shore, you will enter the ghost world.You can see the danger here. "This is Wangchuan, also known as Zichuan. It is famous for its deep purple color. It is said that if you drink this water, you will forget your past." Qingmei looked around nervously, explaining, "But so far no one has dared to try it. Because there is also a terrible palace guard living in this river."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the river water suddenly calmed down, and the water momentum also slowed down. The wide river surface was like a piece of purple solid green. Occasionally, huge scales appeared on the purple water surface, but it was like buckets of water. Thick golden snakes slithered across the water, gradually swimming towards us, and some of them twisted and rushed ashore, their bodies raised high and grinning at us, revealing their inch-long fangs. It is very similar to Jin Buli in Mochou Lake, except that it is many times larger than the one in Mochou Lake, and there are no big blood-red eyes, only big nostrils and mouths.Qi Fang was about to strike and kill him, Qing Mei held him back: "No, Jin Buli in this underground palace is a hundred times more vicious than the ones above. If you attack one, you will take revenge. Don't panic, I have a way to lure them back."

She cleverly smiled and took out something from her bosom. When we stared at it, our expressions changed completely. Even Qi Fang took a step back with a pale face. It turned out that Qingmei was holding a broken The hand, where the blood was still wet, must have been cut from someone who had just died. "They don't eat stale ones, Madam, don't worry, it's made by Xiying, not ordinary servants." Qing Mei explained seriously, our faces turned paler.Qingmei raised her eyebrows and walked towards Jinbuli with her severed hand: "Congchong, Bibi, Ruru, come quickly, my sister brought you delicious food, if you want to eat, you can eat that Dali white flour Scholar, don't eat my sister."

The veins on Xiao Fang's forehead collapsed, and he looked at Qing Mei with hatred and resentment, but Qing Mei gave her a charming smile, coaxing a group of giant snakes softly, while luring those golden buds with the severed palm, And they seemed to understand her words, screaming and twisting their bodies, scrambling to follow the severed hand in her hand.Then when she was far enough away from us, she threw the severed hand with all her strength, and sure enough, a pile of gold jumped into the river and swam towards the severed hand. She came back as if nothing had happened, wiped her hands on her skirts, and I came over, swallowing my saliva: "Hey! That, Qingmei, how do I cross the river?"

Qing Mei smiled sweetly: "Madam wait a moment, Mr. Shao is coming soon." I didn't expect there to be Shaogong here. Sure enough, after a while, there was an old and sad song floating on the river: "Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog, come in the middle of the night, go in the morning..." An old man wearing a broken bamboo hat gradually appeared on the broad Zihe River, propping up a very narrow boat. His face was covered with bruises, as if he had been hit by knives and axes for years, exposing three-fifths of his dry skin. Skin, including an old yellow-brown eye, mouth skin like a dead tree pimple, skinny body wearing only a worn-out clothes, probably not changed for a long time, a pungent stench came, and it was damp and cold, But he was only wearing a crimson single gown, which was roughly tied around the waist with a hemp rope.

The old man pushed the boat to the huge monument on the bank very slowly, and the sack beside the boat was scattered, but he saw a pile of human flesh, and the giant snake in the river happily snatched it up. Sure enough, the owner here These Jinbuli are specially raised with human flesh to guard the dark palace. Our eyes were dimmed, but we saw that the old man had come to the front without anyone noticing, stretched his head slightly, looked at us carefully for a while, then stretched out a hand that looked like a bone, and slowly pointed towards the Fazhou. He said: "You are the leader of this group of little devils, are you here to make food for this golden dragon?"

Just as Fa Zhou was about to speak, Qing Mei coldly showed a purple jade belt engraved with a purple star: "I am the owner of the Ziyuan family and sit down as a purple star warrior Qing Mei. I want to borrow a small boat today. Please let me let you go." .” The old man said with a serious smile: "Could it be that the current Yuan clan has no successors, and even brats like you can become purple star warriors?" Just this one sentence seriously hurt the self-esteem of all the post-80s and post-90s present at the scene, Qing Mei lightly reprimanded and attacked with a sword, but no one saw how the old man made a move, Qing Mei fell there softly, Xiao Fang The shot just now was also fixed on my side, followed by Fazhou, seeing a icy breath rush towards me, the old man's icy broken mask stopped in front of me, one of his long black fingers pointed directly at my throat.

"Huh?! Your eyes are so strange?" His cold old hand gripped my throat, tightening gradually. At this moment, a small shadow came with a small boat, and then flew to the shore with a long gauntlet. It was Xiao Yu, a child from Baimian County. He danced and compared to the old man, and then After handing over a fish talisman, the old man tilted his head and thought for a while, then slowly said: "Since the palace lord has agreed, then you can come." "Then my friend?" The old man didn't even look behind him, he used two stones around his heels to fly towards Xiao Fang and Fa Zhou, the two men released their acupuncture points, but they still sat down softly, Xiao Fang got up on the bank and was caught again Jin Buli was forced to retreat, so he had to pick up Qing Mei, who was still unconscious, and backed up with Fa Zhou.

The old man quickly pulled me Shi Qinggong to the leaf boat, Xiao Yu also flew onto the boat, stretched out his hands to me, and screamed to hug me, I put Xiao Yu on my lap and sat, while I Sitting on the place where there was a pile of dead bones, Xiao Yu seemed very happy, holding my hands, sometimes using his small hands to grab the leftover pieces of meat and feeding them to Jin Buli, and sometimes picking up two leg bones to play with each other , seems to be very familiar with the old man. I kept swallowing my saliva and hugged Xiao Yu tightly, looking at the old man as calmly as possible.I don't know what kind of face that face is, I always feel that he is staring into my eyes.The boat sailed in the sluggish purple river for a while, and I found that this so-called purple river was very deep, and sometimes there would be a big golden dragon with claws on its front, or it would climb onto the edge of our boat and open its blood basin to me. With a big mouth, Xiao Yu quickly hit it from time to time, and the old man also used the boat paddle to strike with lightning. As soon as the stunned golden dragons fell into the water, they were surrounded and torn apart by their companions as food thrown by them, and the smell of blood became stronger.The largest one had a huge snake head looming, about the size of a human head, about ten meters long, and seemed to have lived for hundreds of years.When attacked by the old man, he slid across the sky like a huge golden dragon from one side, leaped over the boat, and landed on the other side with a roar, and opened his mouth to roar at me. Hit it further with a human bone. "Excuse me, senior, this Zichuan is connected to the Mochou Lake above." I summoned up my courage and asked. The old man nodded silently. "May I ask what your senior is called?" The old man tilted his head and thought for a while, his cloudy yellow eyes were confused for a while: "Hey! I can't remember." This was a somewhat weird answer. After a while, he suddenly opened his mouth and slowly explained: "This River of Forgetfulness is said to have been transformed by the flesh and blood of an ancestor of the Yuan clan with purple pupils thousands of years ago. body, lures demons into the Ziling Palace and dies together, keeping one side safe. From then on, anyone who drinks the water here will forget all love, all sorrows, eliminate all emotions and six desires, and become a person without pain. In the past, I occasionally picked up some Wangchuan water, and gradually forgot my name and name, the past is always there, I just remember to follow the order of the palace master to guard the exit here, feed the golden dragon on weekdays, and kill trespassers." Speaking of the last sentence, the old man's yellow eyes were shrewd, flashing with ruthlessness. I groaned indiscriminately, thinking that the ancestors and legends here might be Xuanyuan Zili who buried Ziling Palace together in the year of Tongyuan. According to the legend, Wangchuan was transformed into her flesh and blood. I don’t believe it, but it’s very It may be that the sand and stones at the bottom of the river contain a special mineral, which dyes the underground river here purple. This underground river is connected to the Mochou Lake above. The Jinbuli variety here may swim down the water from above, because It has been dark for many years, and then mutated and evolved, so it has no eyes.The Yuan family deliberately feeds on human flesh all the year round, and competes with martial arts masters all day long, so his body is much stronger than the above similar ones, so he is naturally the best guardian. I also thought, maybe this old man is actually like Sima Yun. He has been drifting in the dark palace, especially on this river for many years. No one talks to him. I was a little relieved, and said nonsense: "The Yuan family has a unique secret medicine Wuyou San, taking it can make people's facial features faint, forget worry and love, maybe it is based on this." The old man stopped suddenly, and let the boat stand in the middle of the lake, but he sat down cross-legged. For a while, those strong creatures swam around, bumping into the side of the boat from time to time.Xiao Yu also seemed a little unhappy, and knocked on the old man with two bones in his hand to show him to move forward quickly. "I just detected your pulse, and it seems that you have been inseparable for life?" The old man easily pressed Xiao Yu's "toy", and laughed slowly under the mask: "Are you a woman from the Yuan family? " I nodded slightly. The old man suddenly looked like he was about to hold a meeting: "Hehe, since you are a woman of the Yuan family, why do you want to go back?" "I'm going to save people. The matter is urgent. Senior, please hold me high and send me to the other side quickly." I bowed to him patiently. "Don't you know that everyone in the Yuan clan is a cursed devil, and they will never get true love." Hey? !What's the meaning?Suddenly, I remembered that Yuan Qingwu also told me that the man from the Yuan family is the most vicious man in the world, but he is so passionate!I couldn't help but shivered and looked at him blankly. The old man picked up the handle of the oar with his skinny hands and scratched his thin gray hair, and said eccentrically: "Because they are idiots who want to get everything, you will be in bad luck if you follow them." This makes sense, the Yuan family has always respected Buddhism as the state religion, but unfortunately the Yuan family has taken up all of the five precepts of Buddhism, including greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, and suspicion.In fact, how many people in the world of mortals can escape these desires? I was thinking wildly, but I heard the old man Xun Xun said: "If you are willing to drink the river here, you can indeed forget the past, and I can take you back. I think your companions must still be waiting for you at the same place." I smiled lightly as before: "Thank you senior, Mujin lives for her heart now, please help me." He laughed gruffly under the mask, full of sarcasm, he climbed up very slowly again, stretched his bony hands, and swung a small boat.He said in a low voice: "Many years ago, there was a brave and handsome young man who broke in. He was shocked by me. I said the same thing to him kindly, but he insisted on coming in. Later, I even killed his bones." I haven't seen it before. But I remember that he answered exactly the same as you, and your expression is very similar to his. " I couldn't help but sighed slightly, and he muttered slowly on the opposite side: "Hey! Your sighing appearance is also similar to him. It's strange. Today, the old man remembered many things from the past." Xiao Yu seemed a little scared, turned around and hugged me tightly, and I hugged him back. He seemed to sigh at me, opened the boat again, and the speed was much faster. He laughed at himself and said: "Strange, this old man remembered a song passed down by his ancestors a long time ago. It turned out that he only remembered the first song." Que, I can’t remember Que, but today I suddenly remembered, do you have some kind of charm on your body? Can you cure the water of Zichuan I drank?” I hugged Xiao Yu tightly and shook my head vigorously.I wondered in my heart, could it be that the purple war on my chest had played a role, reminding the old man of many past events? But the old man started laughing: "Since I meet you by chance, I will sing it to you." Hey? !Why do you want to hold a solo concert on the water?He just opened his voice and sang a song. His voice was hoarse and sad, and his accent was difficult to distinguish. "Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog, come in the middle of the night and go at dawn... It seems that the true love is fake, and the fake is true... Don't say that the flowers fall in Zichuan, but the lonely life is still... Like a flower, it seems not a flower Go, when the broken window and the waning moon are all over..." The lyrics are very strange, but the tone is slightly out of shape. The tune is obviously difficult to hear, but it penetrates into my ears like a magic sound, bringing back countless past events, and there are some scenes that I have never seen before. My mind was active, I vaguely saw Duan Yuerong in Zifu's costume hugging a woman and crying, when I looked closer, the woman was dressed in fiery red, slim and graceful, she looked very similar to me, she suddenly opened her eyes to me A pair of purple eyes, weeping sadly at me, I couldn't help but feel heartbroken, tears dripping on my towel. Just when I was obsessed and fell towards the purple river, someone patted my face lightly. It turned out to be Xiao Yu. I wiped away the tears in my chest, and my eyes gradually brightened up, but I saw a little warm light in front of me. I didn’t know When have we reached the shore. But I saw a man with a long body and a cotton robe like half a day, standing imposingly by the water, holding a dim and soft lamp in his left hand, a strong forearm muscle was slightly exposed at the cuff, and there was a faint prominence on it. The passionflower tattoo illuminates my heart like a fire, this is the first time I see the master of the dark palace so excited. "Qingmei sent a letter to me. I was preparing to collect his corpses for you and him. I didn't expect you to come." I was hesitating to say hello to him, but he had already swayed, jumped onto the boat, and said hello to him. Zhao stretched out his hand, and Xiaoyu and I were pulled ashore by his strong hand, "Your fate is too hard, you really are a bad luck star." He smiled happily under the mask, but his words were still mocking me as always, and I didn't bother to pay attention to him, so I quickly stood still and smiled back at him, but when I turned around, I saw that the old man didn't say anything to the dark palace. The Lord saluted without saying anything, and just like when we first met, he folded his hands on the long gauntlet, looked at us with his head tilted, as if watching a play, Sima Yun bowed slightly to him, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Uncle Demon." The old man tilted his head and slowly nodded, suddenly realized: "Yes, I remembered, my name is Sima Yao." The demon uncle nodded to Sima Yun, and there was a dark phoenix blowing under the dark palace, I couldn't help shivering, seeing that demon uncle's clothes were torn, showing two long, skinny legs, I couldn't help feeling pity, Then he took off the Xuelizi cloak and handed it over: "Thank you senior for your help, the dark palace is cold and cold, please accept it to keep out the cold." The demon uncle's bone-like hand slowly took it over. He lowered his head and stroked the shiny and smooth precious white hair with his black and thin hands. In an instant, black and white, high and low meet each other, which is very eye-catching. He nodded and said slowly. : "Hey! Like that person, you also gave me a piece of clothing when you left." He didn't say thank you for closing, but just swung away far away like lightning. Without any warning, Sima Jun stretched out his hand and took my hand to make Qinggong fly upwards. Xiao Yu also jumped onto a big stalactite. The purple tide has already flooded the shore where we were standing just now. When he put me down, I suddenly turned my head, only to see a small boat flickering in the purple river, and the strange song of the Shaogong faintly rang out in my ears: " Like a flower, it seems like it is not a flower, when the broken window and the moon are gone." "You've done a good job of bribery," Sima Yun's joking voice came from next to his ear: "Unfortunately, I'm afraid there will be no chance to ask Uncle Yao for help. He usually only sends the living in and the dead out." I glanced at him, and just as I was about to suddenly realize that his hand was still on my waist, I slapped his hand away, took a step away from him, and said seriously: "This is a big matter, please lead the way quickly, and send me off." I return to Xin Pavilion." He chuckled: "Prudish thing, what's the rush, with you here, how could he die so easily!" Hey, which onion are you vegetarian, why should I be serious with you? He was flirtatious in his mouth, but moved his feet quickly. His qinggong was so good that even Xiao Yu followed easily, but I had to do my best to keep up with them. They had to fly and stop, waiting for me from time to time. . Along the way, he was able to quickly tell the whole story. Lord Hou did concoct a bottle of death medicine, and it seemed that he was going to bestow death on a nobleman, but he didn’t officially say who he was going to die. Maybe Yuan Feibai was also worried that the death medicine was If it was given to me, it was rumored that Qingmei would transfer me out. Some people said that this opportunity was to use the dead medicine to make a fuss, and falsely spread the news that Lord Hou would give Yuan Feibai and me to death, and cut off all news from Ziyuan to encourage Dongying. The dark people made trouble, but luckily we came back in time, so no catastrophe was caused. It's a pity that I can barely keep up with them, and I got a rough idea. "I've met Qing Mei just now, you're not a stupid woman, luckily you turned back." He praised me, but unfortunately I was out of breath and couldn't answer him. He complained a few times unkindly, but finally couldn't bear it any longer, he picked me up and swept me forward, I was shocked: "What are you doing?" "You are too slow, do you want to go back and collect Yuan Feibai's body?" Hey!This man really can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth!But to be honest, this man's martial arts is really good, he didn't have to wait for me, he picked up at an astonishing speed, and left Xiao Yu behind, Xiao Yu screamed and followed up with all his strength. I held back my silence, his chest was broad, strong and warm, I couldn't help thinking about Yuan Feibai, and I didn't know what was going on with him, and my heart felt like a knife was twisting. Maybe in order to alleviate my embarrassment, he told me that the old man from the company who had just crossed over to us was the oldest person in the dark palace, and he was also the one with the highest martial arts. Some people even say that he has lived for hundreds of years. Thinking of that demon uncle, I said in a soft voice: "My lord, may I sincerely ask you to increase the welfare of the demon uncle?" "Uh, what do you mean?" "Since he has served your dark palace for many years, as the palace master, can you send someone to take care of these elderly people's old age?" Sima Yun chuckled under the mask: "You really don't know how to live or die, you will almost never see the sun tomorrow, and you still care about others." He then changed his voice: "However, can I also sincerely ask Boss Jun to take the dowry and enter the dark palace from now on, help me with housework, take Xiao Yu well, and don't go outside to make trouble and harm our former third master and others?" Are all heroes successful?" Heaven and earth, I finally saw a bastard even worse than me. I smirked and said, "I sincerely beg you to give up the illusion that it will be impossible to achieve in ten thousand years." He ran easily and said with a smile: "I sincerely ask the girl to think twice." I gritted my teeth and said, "I sincerely beg you to hurry up and take me up." "My palace sincerely agrees." "...!!" We returned to the dark passage again, Sima Yun activated the mechanism, and there was light, and we got out through a small door cat.He left Xiao Yu inside, and went out with me by himself.We landed quietly, and it was the inner room of Xiangxin Pavilion, Feibai's bedroom.I carefully lifted the curtain, but there was no one inside, thinking to myself, could it be that King Xuan has escaped? Suddenly I heard King Xuan's voice in front of me, Sima waved his hand briefly, motioning for me to go over, he was behind to protect, I walked quietly to the front hall, and through the bead curtain, I saw King Xuan sitting with a livid face just before us At the place of the conversation, Wei Wei stood trembling behind her, her lips were bloodless from fright, and she only kept herself from falling down by leaning on the back of the rosewood chair. "You are so good at playing chess, I never thought of it," Xuan Wang said with a sneer, "It's just that you are not afraid that your father and uncle will find out?" Opposite him, a young voice said with a chuckle: "How could you find out? The three crippled dark men will rush in immediately and plot rebellion. Uncle will naturally send troops to suppress it. Then you will all die in the chaos." , I can sleep peacefully with my son-in-law." "Brother Wang's clever plan," King Xuan said indifferently, his eyes drifted towards me, and when he saw my figure, his eyes flashed with surprise, but he still clapped his hands without changing his face: "Your brother, you are so sorry! " I was thinking about how to replace King Xuan without anyone noticing, when suddenly there were footsteps behind me, and someone said with a deep smile, "This is Hibiscus, right? Now that you're awake, why are you hiding here and eavesdropping?"
