Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 162: Blood pond blood lotus

Ziyun quickly understood the current situation, knelt down in front of Jun Qianyu with a face ashamed and said, "My lord forgives my sins, the servants are incompetent, and I almost took the words of others."

Jun Qianyu raised her hand to get her up: "It's no wonder you, let's see how they are doing."

Ziyun hurriedly went to check the situation of the other people, and found that two of them who had seen blood had died of anger, while the other three were unconscious and could not wake up. Just as he was about to tell Jun Qianyu, he suddenly found that he was staring at the direction of the big tree seriously.

Following his gaze, Ziyun discovered that the person who played the piano had long since disappeared, and that a large hole appeared out of thin air on the tree trunk. On the ground in front of the hole, a large arrow was drawn on it. Three blood-red characters: "Blood Lotus Valley". Next to the arrow, there is an hourglass, and the sand inside is flowing down quickly, and it seems that more than half of it has been drained.

"Your Highness, are we going in from here?" The tree hole was damp and dark, and it seemed that there were many unknown dangers lurking.

Jun Qianyu glanced at the hourglass on the ground and said, "I can't take care of that anymore, let's go!" He picked up Ning Xi first, then bent down and walked in.

Inside is a meandering mountain road, which was dug very rough, and there were potholes and rocks under the feet. Not long after the three of them entered, they heard the hole slammed shut, and it was dark in front of them. , Only slowly did I realize that every other distance, there was a dim oil lamp hanging on the mountain wall, which could barely illuminate the road ahead.

Occasionally I could hear the sound of dripping water in my ears, and the feeling under my feet was damp, but it wasn't stuffy.

Zi Yun's right hand tightly pressed the hilt of the saber, his whole body tense, and he followed Jun Qianyu with a deep foot and a shallow foot.

Fortunately, there were no other moths along the way. I stumbled and walked for a long time. The sound of water in my ears gradually became louder, and the air became more humid. Judging from the terrain, it should have reached the bottom of the mountain.

As I walked, the terrain suddenly became flat and open, and it felt like I was in a huge cave. Without the guidance of the oil lamps that appeared on the mountain wall at intervals, I didn't know where to go. Which direction to go.

"My God!" Ziyun covered his mouth and exclaimed in a low voice, and pointed to a faint green fire in the distance. The fire was floating like a rootless ghost fire.

Jun Qianyu naturally couldn't see her hand in the dark, but he also saw the firelight, looked carefully for a while, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, it's a boat."

After speaking, Jun Qianyu began to walk forward in the direction of the fire, and Ziyun quickly followed suit.

Jun Qianyu's eyesight is indeed much better than hers. The firelight is getting closer and you can vaguely see the shadow of a flat boat. There is still a figure on the boat rowing, and the firelight is the one hanging on the bow. lamp.

The boat stopped in front of the three of them, and the rowing man put away the oars and looked at the three of them expressionlessly: "Going to the Blood Lotus Valley?" Probably because he lived on the ground all the year round, his face was extremely pale, Under the faint green firelight, it was even more miserable and terrifying.

"Exactly." Jun Qianyu replied, Ziyun couldn't help but murmured in his heart, could it be that this road can lead to other places?

The man sat down leisurely after listening to this, and played a chess game in front of his eyes, without any fluctuations in his voice: "Win a game and go alone."

Jun Qianyu handed over Ningxi to Ziyun without saying a word, and sat in front of the man: "Please!"

The man didn't speak, and the two started to talk quickly in the dim light.

Ziyun secretly rejoices in his heart, fortunately, King Yu's chess skills were learned from the best national players in Dazhou, and he is better than blue. Going here is the end.

Thinking of this, Ziyun looked at the boat secretly, thinking about the possibility of taking it over.

I was thinking wildly, only to hear Jun Qianyu say: "Certify!" It turned out that he had already won the first game.

The two packed up their pieces and quickly entered the state again, starting the second battle without gunpowder smoke.

Ziyun stared at the chess game for a while, and then began to lose his mind again. This Blood Lotus Sect behaves so strangely, and doesn't take human life seriously at all. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a holy man who saves all people from water and fire. I don't know if the legend that their blood pond holy lotus can live the flesh and bones of the dead is true or not. Even if it really happened, it is still unknown whether the elusive leader is willing to save people.

I really don't know how a simple-minded person, Princess Xia Bo of Dayue Kingdom, can say that she has a good relationship with the national teacher. On the way to the mountains, there is no chance to take that token. Take it out, I don't know if it works or not.

Without waiting for her to think about all these issues, the chess game over there is over. Jun Qianyu won three games in a row without any suspense, and won the right of passage across the river for the three of them. The attitude of the boatman It was much better. He stood up and greeted Ziyun to board the boat: "Let's go!" He used a bamboo pole to prop up on the rocks on the shore, and the boat silently rowed into the boundless darkness.

Ziyun's eyes slowly adjusted to the green light, and only then did he realize that the seemingly calm water was actually full of dangers, and the real passable place was only as wide as a small boat. If you accidentally went the wrong way, At any time, you will be hit and smashed.

I couldn't help but stunned. Fortunately, I didn't really have the thought to grab the boat. Even if I did, if I didn't know the way in this labyrinth waterway, there would be no way to survive.

Fortunately, King Yu's chess skills were good enough, and he successfully won three games. Thinking of this, Ziyun couldn't help but ask: "Brother Boatman, if we didn't win chess just now, would we not be able to cross the river? Is the road back?"

The boatman seemed to have heard some kind of joke: "You think beautifully, how can you return to the heart of the Blood Lotus Sect?"

Listening to his tone, Ziyun doesn't seem to mean that he will help cross the river no matter whether he wins or loses: "Then what do you mean?"

The boatman said casually: "The living creatures in this black river have been hungry long enough."

Ziyun was startled and looked down at the dark water surface. If you look closely, you can see that there are darker slender shadows passing by quickly, and there are still a lot of them. Ziyun only feels a The cold wind blew through, trembling all over, and could not help but quietly move a little to the center of the boat.

Jun Qianyu has always been calm, it seems that no matter what he encounters again, he will not be able to make waves in his heart. He only takes care of Ning Xi all the way. With Ziyun's understanding of him, he is now The calm is like the tranquility before the storm. If in the end, the so-called national teacher can't actually save Ning Xi, Ziyun thinks that he will probably die with these people.

The boat traveled for about an hour and finally stopped. The boatman took out a cloth strip, covered his eyes, picked up an unknown object from the boat, and walked towards the black mountain wall. After knocking it three times, it made a crisp sound of gold and stone.

The boatman knocked three more times after a while. After knocking three times in total, they only heard a "crunching" sound. The mountain wall in front of them actually cracked and moved slowly to both sides, and bright light came from there. The light came in suddenly, making people unable to help close their eyes.

After a while, and after the eyes were completely adjusted to the light, I realized that the outside turned out to be a world with green mountains and green waters, like a paradise.

The boatman, with a black cloth covering his face, propped the boat out of the cave and moved slowly along the meandering stream.

Under the bright light outside, his face was even paler. Only then did Ziyun understand why he had to cover his eyes with a black cloth. It was probably because he had lived in the dark for too long, and his eyes could no longer accept strong light. Come on!

It's strange to say that when they went up the mountain, the sky had clearly started to snow, and the weather was extremely cold, but the vegetation here was lush, and it felt a little warm like spring, even if the valley bottom was warmer, it shouldn't The difference is so big, unless there is another hot spring here, just like the volcanic island, it is completely unaffected by the external climate, and it is a warm climate all year round.

Although the boatman couldn't see things, the boat still docked at the edge of a pier without error, and a little boy on the pier came to meet him: "The sect leader ordered me to come to greet the distinguished guests, please come down with the three of you. "

Jun Qianyu held Ning Xi in front of him in the form of a princess hug, jumped onto the shore lightly, and followed the little boy to the thatched hut not far away.

This little boy is different from the yin and yang people I met before. He is a lively character. Since he saw the three of them, he kept saying: "This boy is really a fairy-like character, I am so big, I still see someone so good-looking!"

Ask Ningxi again: "What's wrong with this fairy-like sister? She came to ask our sect master to cure her illness. Alas, in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer people seeking medical treatment. I haven't seen him for almost two years. The blood lotus in the blood pond is not so energetic anymore.”

Jun Qianyu's eyes suddenly sharpened: "What did you say about changing your life?"

The little boy had a natural expression on his face: "Everyone knows the rules of the Blood Lotus Sect. One life is exchanged for another life. The blood lotus saves people, but it must be sacrificed with the blood of living people." In front of Ziyun, she said innocently: "This sister is for life, don't be afraid, people who sacrifice blood lotus can go to heaven to enjoy happiness after death." Such a terrible thing, said in his mouth When he came out, he was innocent and innocent, as if he had been used to it since he was a child.

Ziyun couldn't help but argue: "Didn't your blood lotus sect save the lives of the whole country with a bottle of holy water? Why didn't you say that you changed your life at that time?"

"Why not." The little boy said, "That's because our sect leader gave up his immortality in exchange for the peace of the whole country. Now our sect leader suffers from reincarnation indefinitely, and every life is sick and weak. The body, never lived beyond thirty."

Ziyun snorted coldly: "I don't believe it, how can there be such a strange and chaotic thing in this world."
