Zhou Fei felt that if she could sleep until the end of the day, it would be better to lie down and rot in the mud, so as not to have to wake up and die again in the future.
Unfortunately, she has been eating and sleeping outside in the past few years, and she is too alert to exercise. Even if her consciousness is floating in the air, she can still be alarmed by the endless "rustling" sound in the unfamiliar environment.
Zhou Fei was feeling a little bit awake in a daze, and moved subconsciously, but unexpectedly, her eyes were darkened by the pain of such a small movement. She was instinctively a little scared, and immediately wanted to faint again. Who knew who was beside her, she put something on the ground, no light or heavy, and a loud "bang" made her awake alive.
She was suddenly stunned, and her memory came back to her cage as if her memory had opened up. She remembered where she was, and raised her hand to touch the knife at her waist, but it was empty.
Zhou Fei suddenly opened her eyes and faced a dirty young girl's face.
The girl was startled, then her eyes widened, and in an accent she didn't know where, she yelled, "She's awake!"
The girl's voice faded, and a large group of "beggars" who didn't know whether they were men, women, or children gathered around one after another, and together they looked around and looked around Zhou Fei.
"Ouch, really!"
"Wake up, wake up!"
Zhou Fei: "..."
Only then did she notice that she seemed to be underground, with an extremely wide field of vision, and the torches around her had been lit.
The girl in front of her was not afraid of her either. She took a bowl of something sticky from a large pot next to her and gave it to Zhou Fei, and said, "This pot is too heavy, I almost spilled it just now, come on, come on, Drink a little, even the medicine and water."
Zhou Fei tried to move a bit, and was shocked to find that her waist couldn't get enough energy.
"Ah, yes, Snake Girl... Uh, it's that snake... The hero gave you a unique medicine for golden sores. He said it worked quickly, but I'm afraid the wound will be a little paralyzed at the beginning, and it's not comfortable to move. It doesn't matter, I Here you go." The girl spoke quickly, and handed the missing bowl to Zhou Fei, "I, my nickname is Chungu, I don't have a big name, you can tell me if you have anything—I said, Don't surround her here, Xiaohu, go and tell Snake Heroes about them."
A young man next to him responded and ran away.
Although Chungu talked a lot, she could see that she was used to serving people. She quickly fed Zhou Fei a bowl of potion, neither choking her nor spilling a little.
Then the girl hummed a little tune again and took out a piece of pure fine silk, Zhou Fei couldn't help but glanced at the piece of silk cloth in confusion.
"This," Chun Gu seemed to see her question, and smiled, "Dr. Li took us here to find it. This place is really good. There are all kinds of pots and pans. There is a box with a lot of them. The ingredients are still good, and there are still a lot of old grains. Although they are not fresh, they can still be eaten after a good sieve. It seems that someone has lived here before! Come on, let me wipe the sweat for you."
Zhou Fei was not used to being taken care of, so she turned her head hurriedly: "Girl, you don't have to do this..."
"What's the matter," Chun Gu laughed. "If it weren't for you, my brother and I would all be dead. We escaped all the way from the north. We thought we were going to starve to death, but were rescued by the kind people who were fleeing together. He took in our siblings and brought us here all the way."
Zhou Fei asked, "A Taoist priest leading the way?"
"No." Aunt Chun hurriedly brought a bowl of rice porridge, blew it to cool it carefully, and fed it to Zhou Fei, and said, "But it is said that it has something to do with the Taoist priest. His family was begging for water. At that time, his family was fairly well-off. When he met the monks, he invited him in and gave him a meal. Before leaving, the Taoists gave him a map, saying that if he encounters difficulties one day, he can follow When I walked on the map, there was a place to stay. The old man didn't care at the time, but who knew that a fight really started later, and he remembered this thing. He was busy gathering relatives and friends along the way, and found it according to the map. When he reached the valley, he found out that the original There are more than one group of people who came here, and those who came here by accident have all made offerings to Taoist priests to a greater or lesser extent, and the stories are similar."
Zhou Fei was thoughtful.
In other words, the valley outside the Qimen forbidden area was formed many years ago. The Taoist priests of Qimen, anticipating a day of turmoil, disclosed the address of this place to the border people who had given them favors.
"I thought I was saved," Chungu said to herself, "Oh, who knew that when we got here, the good times didn't last long, and those beasts broke in again, and they even talked to us at first. We are ordinary people, how dare we compete with the imperial court, Naturally, what people say is what they say, but they are getting more and more aggressive, treating us more and more as pigs and dogs, and finally they slammed us into one place and locked them up, and dragged all the women out and locked them in the western camp for their fun. ."
Zhou Fei frowned slightly.
"Who knows we are lucky, there is a snake girl... Oh, no, it's a snake hero," Chun Gu stuck out her tongue, "As soon as those bastards approach the northwest camp, they will be bitten by snakes for no reason, even if they sprinkle realgar. Use, hehe, they still don't know what's going on, they think they're evil."
At this time, a voice next to him interjected: "I had no choice but to disguise myself as a woman, so I'm so abrupt, I'm sorry."
Zhou Fei tilted her head and saw Ying Hejian approaching. He had already untied the inexplicable braid on his head. Although he didn't have time to change his clothes, as long as he didn't deliberately hide his voice and behavior, he could still make people see that he was just a A handsome young man.
"Don't mess with your true qi for a moment or three. You have a solid internal strength. Although you have internal injuries, you don't know what the path is. Instead, it means that you are broken and stand up. I don't think it's a big problem." Ying Hecong finished speaking and looked at Zhou. Fei glanced at her and praised her sincerely, "Miss Zhou, you are really forbidden to fight."
Zhou Fei: "..."
After a few years of separation, the poisonous man's ability to open his mouth to find beatings is still better than that of the past.
Zhou Fei asked, "How did you get this virtue?"
"I asked the walking gang to inquire about the Qi access control area, but the news leaked out for some reason. The walking gang men who helped me run errands were all killed. The murderer should be an assassin. I stubbornly thought that I must know something, and chased it all the way. Killing me, thankfully my snake was alert and warned several times in advance. Once, he was trapped in an inn. I ran out of medicinal powder on my body, and it was too late to match. The women left, who would have thought they were brought to this valley by chance."
The group of northern soldiers were blind, and they thought he was also a big girl with fresh water.
Zhou Fei knew that Feng Wuyan was an assassin who was obsessed with the forbidden area of Qi. She thought about it and felt that it made sense - "Black Judge" Feng Wuyan, who is a person, naturally he would not notice a group of refugees who are precarious. , how could he think that the secret realm he dreamed of was in the hands of these ants? It must have just passed by the only chance in his life. At that time, he lost the trace of what to do, so Feng Wuyan must have gone to find other ways, just in time to catch up with Yin Pei from the various sects in Liujiazhuang, so he went to pick up the bargain.
Zhou Fei asked curiously, "But aren't you from the Great Medicine Valley? Why are you also looking for the access control area?"
"Because Lu Guoshi's cemetery is a burial mound," Ying He Cong said, "It is said that he was very absurd in his later years. He used to make alchemy and take medicine every day, and his mind was not sober. He even lost one day. He was not found in the entire Central Plains, only a few years later I received a letter from him, assigning the next head, and said that he had been instructed by a fairy, found a secret realm in an unknown place, and was ready to emerge here and go. ... It's just unreasonable, these shameful things are secrets of the sect and have not been passed on."
Zhou Fei said: "You suspect that the 'unknown secret realm' is the Qi Gate forbidden area."
"Because of Nirvana Gu." Ying He Cong said, "I didn't know it at first, but later I saw that in the batch of medicine valley books you sent, there is a strange anecdote, which records the incredible things that Lu Guoshi has seen and heard in his life. It looks like a folk myth. You may not have read it carefully. There is a "Charm Chapter" in it, and it mentions the "Nirvana Sect" and Nirvana Gu. There is a row of small characters at the back, which was added by Lu Guoshi later. I was curious and left behind this evil barrier. Later, because of some demons, I actually raised it. Now it seems that it is a curse... That's when I became suspicious. The place where Lu Guoshi's 'emergence' was."
Zhou Fei was stunned when she heard it, but she didn't expect such twists and turns.
Ying Hecong said again: "I went to trace the life of this 'Shenzhen Qinghui', and found that before he obtained Nirvana Gu, he seemed to be a little-known little person, and he spent a lot of time digging out his true identity— It is the descendant of Shanchuanjian, you must know, I don't need to say more - I wandered at the foot of Hengshan for a long time, and finally found out some clues, saying that he was seriously injured and was rescued by several Taoist priests. There are so many in total, you can count them with your fingers. Among them, only Qimen Zhuyin Mountain is not far from the Xiangshui area, and Feng Feihua, the first 'White Tiger Lord' who died in the hands of Qinghui's real person, left the Living Dead Mountain. It seems that they are also active around here. Qimen used to use things like Qimen Dunjia. Isn't it just like the 'unknown places' mentioned in Lu Guoshi's suicide note? At this point, the clues are all right, so I guessed, The last place where Lu Guoshi is located is the Qi Gate forbidden area."
Zhou Fei was shocked when she heard his understated description, and asked in disbelief, "You... you found it all by yourself?"
Ying He glanced at her strangely: "I am the only one in Da Yaogu, why not?"
In his whole life, it can be said that he can't achieve anything without success. Apart from being able to raise snakes, he didn't even learn much about the fur of the Great Medicine Valley, but by chance, he became the only survivor, so he had to swallow blood and tears and desperately To pursue the relics of those lost inheritances, not letting go of even the slightest clue.
Zhou Fei was dumbfounded. She always thought that she had done all the stupid things in the world for Xie San, but she didn't expect that there was someone who was even more stupid than her.
Ying Hejian threw her a cane made of a wooden stick and said, "There are still many strange formations here, your brother and the others just wandered around, and they were trapped in a corner for a long time and couldn't get out, can you see? "
Zhou Fei took the cane, gritted her teeth and propped herself up, feeling like an old-fashioned old woman, poking the stick on the ground, trembling like a leaf in the wind.
Seeing this, Chungu opened her mouth and was about to step forward to help, but was stopped by Ying He Congyi with a wave of her hand.
The poisonous man stood and talked without back pain, and said casually: "She rolls around in the wind and the frost sword all day long. She is very majestic. How can she die so easily? Don't worry about her."
Zhou Fei was sweating profusely after being tossed with his wicked medicine for golden sores. At this time, she was holding it all in one breath. After hearing the indifferent evaluation of "Lang Zhong", she suddenly became angry and felt that she As long as there is still a little spare power, we must give him a knife.
Zhou Fei: "Snake breeder, be careful in the future, don't fall into my hands."
Ying Hecong raised his eyebrows, "Look at it."
Aunt Chun: "..."
After Ying Hejian finished speaking, he swaggered forward, not knowing how to slow down and wait for an injury.
Zhou Fei's teeth were itchy, and she smashed all the shock and the vague sympathy she had into a ball and stepped on it under her feet—this boy with the same surname Ying is still the same bastard and disgusting!
In less than a moment, Ying He ran to the front. Fortunately, Aunt Chun gave her porridge and medicine, so Zhou Fei had gained some strength, and slowly walked between the guiding poles with a cane one step at a time. The ground was full of gossip pictures and stone and wooden stakes with ulterior motives. Zhou Fei's eyes were dizzy. Fortunately, Li Sheng and the others walked around the nearby road when she was unconscious, and filled the ground with marked wooden stakes. Show her a way.
Zhou Fei took a step and rested for a long time, and then took the opportunity to look around the legendary "unknown place". Suddenly, she found a piece of "Tao Te Ching" in a gossip picture. Thousands of words were engraved on the stone wall. She couldn't help but stop and look carefully, and saw that the "Tao Te Ching" was exactly the same as the one that Chong Xiaozi gave her back then. Heart method.
Looking at it again, it turns out that the title of the scripture is not "Tao Te Ching" at all, but "Qiwu Jue".
Zhou Fei was stunned, and said to herself, "So it turns out that the exercises that I have practiced for many years are called this."
She remembered the past in Duan Jiuniang's small courtyard where she was made unable to survive or die by that mad woman, so she looked down with some nostalgia, and suddenly made a "Huh" - only to see the first half of the Qiwu Jue and Chong Chong. What Xiaozi gave her is exactly the same, but the second half has changed.
Some people used strong fingers to erase some strokes in the second half, which happened to indicate the meridians, and they did not cover up, so that many words in the second half were short and short, as if they were written by Yang Jin!
Between the words, there are many more marks of a knife and axe slashing the stones, as if someone had vented here and chopped a bunch of them, but after looking closely, Zhou Fei felt that the rotten stone was a mess. There seemed to be something about to come out of the traces, and a cold fighting intent came towards him.
She was taken aback, and subconsciously took a wrong step, staggering and almost lost her footing.
At this moment, someone not far away shouted: "Come out! I broke the formation!"
Zhou Fei stretched out her hand and pressed her eyebrows hard, forcibly looking away from the rock, when she saw Li Sheng and the others running over from the path full of small wooden stakes.
Li Sheng hung one arm and danced: "A Fei! Oh, you woke up so fast, you scared me to death, you know? Let's see what we found!"
Zhou Fei raised her eyebrows and saw three or four old scabbards waving in his hands.
It's all... the same mountain and river scabbard that Yin Pei carries with him!
