Ministers and others get married by decree

As the commander of one side's garrison, Wu Zhi is quite special.

Because of the remoteness of the place, there are many Miao people of various ethnic groups living here. In order to prevent the chieftain from supporting himself, the imperial garrison often changes every ten years.Wu Zhi has been here for 11 years. It is not an exaggeration to say that the garrison under him is the Wu family army. Naturally, he does not want to waste his troops for no reason.

Chu Lou came from a family of martial arts, and he didn't intend to embarrass Wu Zhi. He said lightly: "The commander just stays outside Wanshan Creek. I've sent people to dispatch troops." Qin Song notified Wu Zhi, and directly ordered a boat to drive away without stopping. go back.

First, they went to the Weiyuan Escort, and second, Wang Cheng and others stayed in Jiaxing Mansion.

He also didn't understand why Bai Feng would let them go down the mountain, but he had to communicate with Jiufu.Whether the Bai clan in the capital is in collusion with Baizhai is a matter for the Jiufu to investigate. The queen mother's poison has been cured, and Mr. Sun must be informed as soon as possible.Qin Song even bought a ghost monkey with a lot of money directly from Orion and took it on board.

As for him, his only mission is to bring Qin Fengchi back.

Wu Zhi heaved a sigh of relief, and it would be nice if the yamen didn't embarrass him.

"Don't worry, my lord. I'll go see the chieftain right now. If I can get his support, I can be more secure."

Chu Lou had no expectations for this.

They are all Miao people, so can we not hold together?

"Then Commander Lao." He cupped his fists and thanked him.

Seeing Wu Zhi leave, Bai Liu began to hesitate again: "Brother Chu, you, why don't you wait for my mother to go down the mountain again and ask her before making a decision?"

He didn't know how to raise Gu for others, and what was the backlash, but it would not be very simple... If there was an emergency, wouldn't he have harmed Chu Lou?

"No, since your mother told you, she should have expected that I would go." Chu Lou changed into black clothes, tied his wrists and ankles, stuffed the medicine bag that his grandson had prepared for them into his arms, and even Ready.

At this time it was already dark outside, Wu Zhi came at night, and he happened to set off at night.

He spent the past two days asking about the maps drawn by the locals.

According to Youshi's description, the mountain behind Wanshan Creek is full of Gu caves, some of which are abandoned, and some are still in use.Qin Fengchi should be placed in a very secret place, she can only guess the approximate location, as for which hole it is, she has to think of other ways.

He frowned, and carefully looked at the route again, for fear that he would find the wrong place.

Youshi guessed that the area was located on a cliff near the top of the mountain. It used to be the nest of a local giant eagle. The Miao people collected herbs and found it. They climbed down the trees that had grown on the cliff for many years, dug the nest deeply, and formed A hidden Gu hole was opened.

There are about four or five Gu holes in that area. If he is unlucky, he has to go down the cliff repeatedly.This was also why Bai Liu was worried.Chu Lou was wounded on his thigh, and his arm was also stabbed. If he failed to climb, he would be smashed to pieces on the cliff.

Bai Liu was hesitating to speak at the side all the time, pinching the hem of his clothes and rubbing them.

"Just say what you want to say," Chu Lou sighed, and turned to look at him, "I won't blame you either." Before changing, he might still be in the mood to amuse children, but now he has no power to do so.

Bai Liu lowered her head: "...can you not go?"

He really liked Chu Lou and didn't want Chu Lou to die.

Chu Lou didn't answer, just looked at him firmly and shook his head slowly.

Whether Qin Fengchi is dead or alive, he will go.

Whether as a lover or as a brother, it is impossible for him to abandon Qin Fengchi... He doesn't want to talk about "living together and dying together" hypocritically, but he is willing to risk his life for this person.

Bai Liu probably knew that persuasion was useless, so she admitted in a low voice: "Actually, my mother gave me something that can help you find a cave."

... Ms. You is mighty!Chu Lou's eyes brightened.

"My great-grandfather was the patriarch," Bai Liu explained unwillingly, "so my mother knows some secret techniques that others don't know, and that's one of them." He took out a bamboo tube that was as thick as a pen tube and as long as his thumb and handed it to Chu building.

"There is a kind of bamboo weed here, because the Gu king was first cultivated by this, so there will be a reaction not far away. Although it is simple, the cultivation of the Gu king is relatively secret, and ordinary people will not know the specific method."

Chu Lou took it carefully and put it close to his body.

Covering his face, he slipped into the night without looking back.

Literati often say that the mountains in the north are rough and steep, and the wind is harsh, while the mountains in the south are gentle and graceful, whether it is wind or rain, they are always lingering and affectionate.But if Chu Lou were to comment, it would be bullshit.

The mountains at an altitude of 500 meters are steep when looking down, and the wind blows cool to the bone marrow.

He took advantage of the darkness to go up the mountain road, and then turned to the uninhabited place on the side of the mountain to climb up.Although there are many trees and vines, the road is very steep, and there are snakes, insects and monkeys, making the journey even more difficult.

At dawn, he finally climbed to the top of the mountain.People may often come to the edge of the cliff and build a cloud platform. A strange and unknown old tree stands beside the cloud platform, protruding its branches obliquely to the outside of the cliff.

He looked around and made sure that there was no one there, so he walked to the cloud platform and squatted down on the edge of the cliff.He looked at the thin and short bamboo tube in his hand, and was a little worried that the bugs inside would be blown away by the mountain wind.

The moment the bamboo tube was opened, a small green bug flew past like a light green light and turned to the bottom of the cliff.

Chu Lou probed after him, but only caught a glimpse of the general direction of the green light out of the corner of his eye.

No wonder this is also considered a secret technique. Even if most people learn about this method, their eyesight is not enough to see the flight path of the bug.

The mountain wind was so strong and it was bitingly cold, but he was still sweating nervously.Since it was a cave, the entrance wouldn't be too small, although he could only see a general direction, it should be enough.

Chu Lou took out a pair of iron claws from his body and threw them at the old tree. The iron claws wrapped the rope around the old tree several times.He tugged hard, but the trunk didn't move at all, so he grabbed the other end and jumped down without hesitation.

It is an extremely terrifying thing for people to hang on the steep mountain wall.The mountain wind will blow you up and down, there is almost no place to stand under your feet, the rock wall is crunchy, and it will fall off when you step on it, and there are only clouds and abyss below, no one to rely on.

Chu Lou exerted a little force, and the wound that had just begun to heal began to tear, and his limbs were protesting.He tensed up, trying not to put all his weight on the rope, lest it snap.

His thigh hurt so badly that he looked down, and in the morning light he could see a large wet mark on his trousers.Apparently the knife edge was split open again.

He gritted his teeth and moved down a few meters, and saw the first Gu hole.It didn't need the green worm to confirm that no one had entered the hole at first glance, and most of the hole had collapsed.

The most difficult part is that the entrance of the cave is hidden on the cliff, and there is no prominent place to stay.He had to actually go down to the mouth of the cave before he could go in.

' What a mistake. Chu Lou panted under the cloth towel, secretly worried.

He thought he could find the Gu Cave before dawn, so he specially wore night clothes. Who knew that the sun was about to rise, and he was still hanging on the mountain.On the bare side of the cliff, he was lying on the wall like a black bug, as if he was afraid that others would not see him.

Stupid!

The more Chu Lou thought about it, the more anxious he became. In a panic, he stepped on the ground and fell two or three meters down in an instant. He was blown by the mountain wind and hit the cliff.

"Ugh!" He gripped the rope painfully, his whole body tightened in pain.

It's over, it's over, he won't become crippled if this goes on like this? !

The gravel rolled down the cliff one after another, and even the rope had some signs of wear and tear due to the accident just now.He slowed down for a while before he managed to gather his composure.Fortunately, he firmly remembered to hold on to the rope, if his hands were loose just now, he was already cold at this moment.

It took him half an hour to cover just a few tens of meters.

The sun pierced through the clouds, and he almost fell to the approximate place where the bug flew.

Chu Lou was exhausted, his eyes were black, he couldn't even lower his head, he could only test the entrance of the cave with his feet while going down.Finally, finally!His toes suddenly sounded!

He regained his energy, tightened his wet hands, and rubbed down one meter. When most of his body was outside the cave entrance, he swayed with the mountain wind, let go and rolled into the cave.

In the first ten minutes, Chu Lou actually lost consciousness.

He was so tired and so tired.

The entrance of the cave is narrow, but the inside is very deep.Although there is no humidity in those caves at the foot of the mountain, there are some strange sounds of water, ticking and ticking.

It was these sounds that awakened his consciousness.

Chu Lou opened his eyes with difficulty, and groaned in pain.He was indeed too reluctant. Climbing and climbing exhausted the stamina he had accumulated in the past two days. Now if there is any enemy, even if there is only one, he can only lie down and die.

It took him half an hour to enter the Gu hole, and another two quarters of an hour to get up.

The cave in front of me, among other things, has been used at least all the time.He noticed that the stone wall was smooth, with some incomprehensible murals and characters engraved on it. Every once in a while, there would be a hollow on the stone wall to place torches.The ground is also very clean, without any debris or animal droppings.

Maybe it was too clean, completely different from the Gu holes they had experienced before.

Chu Lou's heart began to hesitate again.Could it be that he misread and looked in the wrong place?

He kept walking along the stone road, and there was no fork in the road along the way.This hole seems to have been drilled into the middle of the mountain, but the strange thing is that the air has not changed at all, and it has not been aggrieved at all.

As it continued to go deeper, the environment of the Gu cave began to change, it became damp, and some moss and strange flowers and plants appeared.

Chu Lou also saw a snake swimming past!

He sniffed it, and the water vapor didn't smell bad, but had a slight floral fragrance.

At the end of the passage, he came to a stone hall that looked familiar.

This stone hall is quite large, not like a cave, but rather like a monkey’s lair somewhere at the bottom of the mountain, with vines growing everywhere, and there is a pool in the middle that can accommodate three or four people. The water in the pool seems to be full of green algae, dark green Can't see the bottom.The light is dim, but there are two passages at the other end, which are not dead ends.

Chu Lou thought he would see a field of bugs, but he didn't expect this scene.He wandered around nervously, not seeing anyone.

Youshi can't guess wrong, can he?

Is Qin Fengchi really here?

Suddenly, his ears moved and caught a very slight sound.I have to describe it, it's more like the sound of a small bubble bursting out of a fish...

water!

Chu Lou rushed towards the puddle of water.
