[Sword Three] Mountain Ghost Ballad

It began to bloom one after another beautiful blood flower in the water, and never satisfied, greedily sucking the nutrients in the blood, and using these nutrients to grow crazily.

A crackling sound echoed in this small space, causing Zishu and Tang Wujue who were fighting together to stop.

The first thing Tang Wujue paid attention to was Miao. Seeing that she was standing quietly not far away, her body didn't look like she was injured, so she looked away to find the source of the sound just now.

Seeing this, it was shocking.

I saw a cluster of lush green vines growing more than ten meters away from Miao. The green vines are growing very well, and beautiful flowers have bloomed on the vines, but the leaves are stained with blood.

Immediately, the green vines bathed in a piece of water withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing that the person covered by the vines was Wang Maozhong, whose body was covered with wounds and whose blood had been sucked dry.

The hero of a generation, the most mysterious Lord Youtian in the Nine Heavens, none of the masters sent by Xuanzong could kill him, but now he died in the ground of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, and he died in such a miserable way.

Miao's consciousness has regained consciousness at this moment, looking at Wang Maozhong's body on the ground, her breathing seemed a little short, and there was undisguised astonishment on her face.

'Life and death are nothing but the cycle of yin and yang, since you don't care about the result, why bother about the process.The unbearableness in your heart is really puzzling. '

"..."

"A Miao, be careful—!"

Tang Wujue's voice brought back Miao's sanity, but she only had time to see a phantom, and Zishu, who was far away from her, appeared in front of her in an instant.

Miao was shocked, and was about to distance himself from him, but found that there was no internal energy in his body, and his whole body was exhausted, and he could no longer summon any strength to resist the menacing Zishu.

Zi Shu restrained Miao, who had no power to resist, and said coldly to Tang Wujue: "Your injuries are serious, and you have exhausted a lot of physical strength. Now it is the end of your strength, so don't make any more fearless resistance!"

Tang Wujue's expression was cold, but he stayed where he was and did not act rashly.Suddenly, a sarcasm appeared on the corner of his lips, and he said to Zishu: "You are always trying to control others, now it seems that you are just a pawn in others' hands."

Zishu frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

Tang Wujue said: "You never thought about how I found A Miao? You never wondered how I unlocked the puppet technique?"

Zi Shu's eyes widened slightly, and subconsciously retorted: "This is impossible, she has already..."

Tang Wujue sneered and said, "Huai Xu is the head of a sect after all, and her cultivation level is not inferior to yours, so you never thought that the reason why she was attacked by you back then was really just because of her lack of skill?"

Zi Shu said: "You don't have to try to divorce, even if she betrayed, so long as I find the secret treasure hidden in the coffin of the First Emperor and open the seal of Canglong Qisu, then no one in the world will be able to stop me from doing things." !"

Tang Wujue said: "Why are you so sure that there is a secret treasure in the coffin of the first emperor... She was the one who told you about Canglong Qisu? It's a pity you haven't found out yet, that woman is not Jiang Huaixu at all!"

Hearing Tang Wujue's words, Miao was startled suddenly, as if a bright light flashed in her heart, and many puzzling things before were linked together, as if they had answers.

But before she had time to think about it, she was interrupted by a tremor.

There seemed to be a loud noise coming from the ground, and the surface began to break in an instant, cracking one after another, and accompanied by the sound of a rush of water, the surrounding walls began to gradually collapse.

Tang Wujue's ear was extraordinary, and he was the closest to the entrance of the corridor, so he was the first to discover something was wrong at the other end of the corridor.

He only heard the sound of water, and the long corridor was gradually soaked, and the water on the surface quickly passed through the corridor and slowly flowed to his feet.

Tang Wujue glanced at the water stains under his feet, but his expression suddenly changed.

I saw the layer of water covering the ground, its shape was like water, but there was a faint silvery white inside, even if Tang Wujue hadn't seen it before, he could still guess what it was.

...Why does the water in the pool of mercury flow here!

A bad premonition suddenly rose in Tang Wujue's heart, and he didn't care about Zishu, so he immediately turned around and shouted: "This place is dangerous, leave quickly—"

Before he could finish his words, the corridor of the corridor became fragmented at this moment, and a steady stream of mercury spewed out from the ground, rushing towards the position of the three of them as if it had life.

Tang Wujue said with an ugly face: "Go!"

He could not care about Zishu's life or death, but he had to worry about Miao in the other party's hands, so he didn't follow until Zishu led Miao up to the stone figurine in the corner.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Tang Wujue stepped on the stone figurine's shoulders, Zishu, who had been prepared for a long time, touched several big acupuncture points all over his body, half kneeling on the ground, unable to move.

Tang Wujue clenched his fists, but his face was calm, "You let her go, and I can do whatever you want! A Miao must not stay in Qin Ling for a long time!"

Zishu said calmly: "You two don't want to leave, after the old man takes out the secret treasure, you have to help the old man go back to Lishan, and settle the score with those traitors!"

Tang Wujue said bitterly: "You will kill her like this!"

Zi Shu said disapprovingly: "With the old man here, who can harm her? If you hadn't caused trouble for nothing, how could the old man have made such a trip, and even paid for a You Tianjun, now the old man's plan is because of your Willful and lose a layer of protection!"

More and more mercury spewed out from the ground, and in an instant the water level reached the waist of the stone figurine, and it seemed that it would continue to rise, so Zishu stopped talking nonsense with Tang Wujue, but grabbed him with one hand and Miao with the other, Using his internal energy, he lightly landed on the hole above the stone figurine, but it was just an exit.

Miao was full of thoughts, and she was immersed in her own thoughts, but suddenly felt that her hand seemed to be touched by someone, and before she could react, her eyes blurred, and someone hugged her in her arms.

"I still remember that when you were young, you liked to step on my shoulders and let me carry you around. At that time, I said that as long as I was here, I would not let anyone hurt you... Unfortunately, When I was a child, my brother once said that he would protect you for the rest of his life, but he broke his promise time and time again..."

Tang Wujue's voice was very abrupt, with a hint of melancholy, but also very emotional. Hearing it in Miao's ears, she couldn't help but raise her head, but the other party held her head down and whispered in her ear again Said: "Miao Miao, I can't make it, but fortunately there is Mo Yu, when you return to the ground, he will protect you in the future..."

"But this time, you have to keep an eye on him, don't let him be as dishonest as I am, and stay with you and protect you for the rest of your life... It's cheap for that kid..."

As soon as Tang Wujue finished speaking, he suddenly pulled Miao away from his arms and pushed her out.

Before Miao could react, she fell heavily to the ground under inertia.

At that moment, all the traps arranged by Tang Wujue secretly at Zishu's feet were activated, and there was not a trace of life left in the killing array. With a scream, Zishu's right foot was cut off by the horizontal knife.

Tang Wujue didn't know when he had regained his mobility. He firmly grasped Zishu's shoulders, and the chains of the mother and son's claws were tightly wrapped around him and Zishu, binding them tightly together.

He crossed Zishu's shoulder, pulled the corner of his mouth at Miao, then fell backwards without hesitation, and with Zishu who was still struggling desperately, he fell straight into the Milky Way below.

The river surged, and a string of bubbles appeared on the surface of the water, but no one came up again. After a while, the floating bubbles disappeared, and the water surface became calm again.

Miao froze in place, Tang Wujue's last words were still echoing in her ears, but in an instant, she was the only one left at the entrance of the cave.

She stood up and stared at the rising Milky Way in a daze. From a distance, it looked like a silver-white gauze floating, but she searched for a long time, but she couldn't find anyone.

She suddenly felt, could it be that Tang Wujue had planned this again, maybe in the next second he would jump up from the Milky Way, smiling and telling her that he would never die easily...

"I didn't expect you to lose all your internal energy now, like a disabled person, but you were lucky enough to survive. It's really regrettable..."

Following a slightly hoarse female voice, a slim figure appeared at the corner of the cave. It was Jiang Huaixu who hadn't walked around the rivers and lakes for a long time.

She looked like a different person, not only did she have a look of contempt that she had never seen before, but even the clothes on her body had changed from the plain water color of the past.

She was wearing a fiery red gown embroidered with a black bird pattern, which looked a bit like the curvy train of the pre-Qin period, but she was far more flamboyant than the women of that era.

With wide sleeves and red lapels, the temples are graceful, and there is a dazzling fire pattern between the eyebrows...

Except for no similar face, everything else is exactly the same as in Miao's memory. People and habits have not changed.

"I wanted to see you a long time ago, but unfortunately you were well protected, and I was hindered by some trivial matters, which delayed me until now..." Jiang Huaixu, who looked a little strange, walked slowly in front of Miao , looked at her carefully, and a look of sadness flashed in her eyes, "It really looks like you, child, looking at you like this, if I didn't know that she hadn't woken up, I almost couldn't help but let her go. is you……"

Her voice paused, the love in her eyes slowly disappeared, and her usual cold arrogance and scrutiny returned to her eyes. She shook her head and said, "After all, it's different. That bad boy is not as obedient as you..." She slowly stroked her hand. Miao's cheeks were caressed, and a gentle look emerged from the bottom of her eyes, "However, no matter how bad she is, I still like her the most. As for you, I have to say sorry, who told him to choose What about you..."

Her voice suddenly became gloomy, she couldn't control the strength in her hands, and her nails drew a red mark on Miaobainen's face, but she herself seemed to be shocked, and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

After a while, she regained her previous calmness, looked at the obvious scar on Miao's face, frowned slightly, and said softly: "It's really an eyesore..." She raised her hand, and gently touched Miao's cheeks. With the caress of her fingers on her cheeks, the mark on Miao's face gradually faded until it disappeared completely.

At this time, Miao, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.

She glanced at the woman in front of her, then closed her eyes slightly, covering her complex eyes, and the thousand words finally turned into a helpless sigh.

"Mother mother..."

————————————————————————————————————

The Qilin Hall can be regarded as the second gate of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.

As the name suggests, the reason why it is named Qilin Hall is because the guard here is a Qilin, but it is not a living thing, but a mechanism beast made of stone.

The real Lei Qilin died thousands of years ago. Its blood was drained, part of it was supplied to the Qin royal family at that time, and part of it was taken to his underground palace by Ying Zheng.

Therefore, in the four corners of the Qilin Hall, there are blood storage tanks made of crystals. Thousands of years have passed, and the blood of the Qilin has already solidified, and together with the crystal tanks, they have become decorations in the Qilin Hall.

Beautiful, but full of the breath of death.

In the Qilin hall at this time, there is no trace of the organ Qilin, only gravel and bronze joints all over the floor, indicating that Shi Qilin once existed.

Quser looked at the fragments of the stone unicorn, his eyes were full of pity, and he couldn't help sighing: "The stone unicorn is exquisitely constructed, even if it is a bulky stone, combined with mechanical techniques, it has such great power, it is a pity that it was destroyed in the end It's..."

"Once the Shi Qilin is activated, it cannot be terminated. If it is not destroyed, we will not be able to pass through here. In this case, it is not following the Spike Army's wishes. What a pity."

The one who said this was a young man who came out from behind Quse. He was dressed in red, with long hair hanging down his shoulders. He looked very handsome, but his face looked a little indifferent.

However, unlike the disciples of the Mo family who went deep into the Qin Ling to help the Shuofang army, Mo Yu came here to find someone.

As for who he was looking for, he didn't say, and others didn't dare to ask.

Quser knew some inside information, but he saw that Mo Yu was obviously in a bad mood, so he didn't say much about it.

Coincidentally, at this time, a disciple who was investigating the mechanism in front came back, and said that the underwater mechanism had been opened, and he could continue to move forward.

Qu Se glanced at Mo Yu and motioned, "Master Mo...?"

Mo Yu understood, nodded immediately and said, "Let's go together."

Qu Se sighed inwardly, as an existence who had a good relationship with Mo Yu in Momen, he couldn't help comforting him in the end: "Miss Jiang is a lucky person with her own talent. With her ability, even if she meets the Spike Army, Getting out of the way is probably not a problem."

After hearing this, Mo Yu's expression did not change, but his whole body fell silent, and his thoughts could not help but return to a few days ago.

When he found Miao missing, it was the morning of the second day of the Shangyuan Festival. The person who was in his arms the night before had disappeared after dawn.

He didn't even know when she disappeared.

Inside and outside the house where he was resting that night, he did not find any traces of struggle and fighting, and the guards outside the house also proved that the night was very peaceful and there was nothing wrong with it.

Mo Yu thinks that martial arts is not the best in the world, but when it comes to vigilance, he can say with certainty that there will not be more than three people in today's martial arts world who can take people away from him without disturbing him.

And those three people had no reason to take Miao away.

Then there was only one possibility left—she left by herself.

Mo Yu had doubts like this at first, because Miao has always been obsessed with Qin Ling's matter, and he saw it, so he kept persuading her, hoping that she could dispel the idea of ​​going to Qin Ling.

This made him wonder, could it be that Miao really had a plan in mind and went to Qin Ling without telling him?

But Mo Yu immediately rejected this idea.

He knows Miao too well, in front of him, that silly girl can't keep things in her heart, if she hides something from him, she will become uneasy, so obvious that she can't hide it, he can see it at a glance.

And Miao doesn't make promises easily, once she promises, she won't change easily.Since she had already promised not to go to Qin Ling, she would never break her promise. If she broke her promise, then it must not be her original intention.

I'm afraid that if Miao is really held hostage, the real situation may be worse than he expected.

But what does this mean...

As long as she is still safe, then no matter what happens in the road ahead, it is not too bad for him...

In the shadow of the lamp, Mo Yu looked up at the blood-red crystal jar in the corner of his eyes, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say much, just jumped up to the hole in the corner.

The white robe drew an arc in the air, and the footsteps were not far away, but the person had disappeared.

The Kylin Hall regained its calm for a short while.

It wasn't until a string of silver bells rang that the silence in the darkness was broken again.

A ghostly figure lightly landed on the crystal jar in the corner, but it was a woman in red.She was barefoot, and a string of bells was tied to her ankles, which were as smooth as white jade, and they made crisp sounds as she moved.

This is a very beautiful woman, with a graceful figure and radiant radiance, her gestures are full of charm, but she is too gorgeous.

The red dress on her body is full of exotic styles, but her soft facial features show that she is not from a foreign land.It's just because of the publicity and enthusiasm in her eyes that people can't equate her with the Central Plains women.

She looked at the direction of Mo Yu's departure, a charming smile slowly appeared on her face, and she muttered to herself: "What a handsome man..." She suddenly paused, then sighed again: " It's a pity that it's a man..."

The sound of the silver bell echoed in the Qilin hall again, and the woman in red turned into a phantom and disappeared in the shadow of the lights in the stone hall, just like when she came.

The Qilin Hall finally fell into dead silence again, only the Qilin blood condensed with the crystal at the corner of the wall exuded a strange light in the darkness, as if in the long river of 1000 years, there was never a single day that was dimmed.
