Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 168 Master Has a Secret

"Sister Heifeng!"

Ziqi's screams tugged at Baili Jiuge's ears, but at this moment, she seemed to be unable to hear anything and was just facing a nightmare.

The accident happened so suddenly that she didn't even have time to be afraid, she just watched for a split second, the greedy green eyes of mice and the teeth stained with flesh and blood were all under her body.

And these mice even jumped up one after another and opened their mouths towards her.

Actions were faster than thoughts, and at the same time as Baili Jiuge fell, the wind swept the sleeves and swept the pounced mouse back into the mouse pool. Suddenly, the mouse that seemed to have fallen bit off the corner of her skirt, and the white ankle It was revealed immediately, causing coolness to invade the body from bottom to top.

And at this critical moment, Zi Qi exerted all his strength to maximize the speed of taking up the line, and pulled Baili Jiuge back here before Baili Jiuge fell into the rat pond. !

Baili Jiuge's body fell on Ziqi's body, and the two of them fell heavily together.

Between Ziqi's ten fingers, deep wounds have been cut by the silver thread.

Baili Jiuge could see it clearly, and couldn't help but asked with concern: "Ziqi, is your hand okay? I have some bruises on my body, so I'll put it on you."

"How big is it? I can't feel this kind of injury!"

Ziqi didn't take it seriously, stopped Baili Jiuge, and instead sighed with concern: "Sister Heifeng was in danger just now, and now she is still concerned about my injury, aren't you frightened?"

Panic?

"Of course I'm terrified."

But maybe the scenes just happened too fast, my brain seems to be blank now, I don't know how I got ashore and survived.

Ziqi shifted his gaze to the man with the double chin who pulled out the throwing knife.

She stood up, pointing at that person and yelling: "You have no ability to get over this obstacle, and now you have to rely on the two of us to get over it, and you want to kill us by crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, don't you feel ashamed as a big man?!"

Baili Jiuge stretched out his hand and put it on Ziqi's shoulder, comforting Ziqi's emotions and calming down his own, and sneered at the man: "Now is the second floor of the Tower of Nine Deaths. There are still seven floors, but you caused me to almost be buried here. You are very confident that the next seven floors will pass through without incident?!"

The man with the double chin turned pale after hearing what the two of them said.At that moment, he only thought about crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but he forgot, the river has only crossed halfway, and once the bridge is demolished, how can he get on by himself?
Everyone also cast resentful glances at him, and someone scolded: "It's all your fault! Now that the two of them can't get through, who will help us break the mechanism behind? You go?"

"I..." The man with the double chin was so angry and anxious that he was speechless. After thinking about it, he let the evil thoughts in his heart prevail, and said viciously, "What are you afraid of? There are so many of us. Relying on the two little girls? Don’t forget, there is only one god in this tower of nine deaths. They are so good, famous, and good-looking. If they reach the top of the tower, the gods will probably take care of them , then what should we do? Is it a waste of time? We should rely on our own ability to break through to the top!"

Everyone was suffocated by his words, and felt that there seemed to be some truth in what he said.After thinking about it, I might as well do it this way, so I stepped on the stairs and walked upstairs.

When the last person stepped on the stairs, the first person had already entered the third floor. At this time, there was a horrible scream on the third floor. That voice was the first few people who went up to the third floor.

Now, the people who were still alive trembled again, pushing the man with double chins, trying to push him up to the third floor, while saying: "You left that black phoenix and Xiao Siming on the other side, You will be responsible for breaking the next organ!"

The man with the double chin was terrified. Even though he was being pushed by the crowd, he couldn't go up. Finally, he broke down and ran down the stairs, shouting hysterically at Baili Jiuge and Ziqi: "You two heroes, I was wrong, I was wrong! I beg you to come here quickly so that you can take us upstairs together!" He was really scared to death, he didn't even have the courage to face the third-level organ alone.

Hearing this, Baili Jiuge felt a deep sense of contempt in his heart.This person is obviously timid, but his thoughts are so vicious, it is so vulgar and superficial that she doesn't even bother to scold him.

Ke Ziqi said: "You let us go there and we will go there. Why should we listen to you? Others don't ask us."

The meaning of these words couldn't be more obvious. The other men were very dissatisfied with the behavior of the man with double chins, and now they don't want to rely on him at all. , I just hope that Baili Jiuge and Ziqi can come here quickly and continue to lead them to a higher place.

Ziqi smiled fiercely, and said: "Looking at you like this, it is really ugly and ugly, but since you are begging us, then we will reluctantly agree."

The faces of the crowd showed joy.

"But I have one condition."

Ziqi changed the subject, pointed his bloody index finger at the man with the double chin, and screamed, "Push this scum to me and feed it to the mice!"

"Ah?!" The man with the double chin exclaimed, before he realized what was going on, he was caught by the crowd and thrown into the rat pool!
The screams were unbearable, and the mice had another full meal.

Seeing the development of the matter, Baili Jiuge was stunned at first, and then he sneered: "Ziqi, you are too cruel! Even if you want that person to die, you don't have to make him die so painfully." .”

"Huh, who told him that he wanted to harm us just now? I, Xiao Siming of Epiphyllum Valley, will take revenge. This kind of scum, cut off his head and kicked it as a ball, but dirty my feet, so feed the mice!"

"Ziqi..."

Forget it, don't say it!It's not that I don't know, Ziqi has such a temper--good enough for his own people, but cruel to his enemies.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and there is nothing to talk about.What's more, it was the man who had evil intentions first, and could not live by doing evil himself.

On the other side, those men were not idle for a moment, and hurriedly kept reminding: "You two heroes, can you come over now? Do you want us to help you here?"

"Nonsense, why don't you hurry up?!" Zi Qi raised his lips and shouted.

"Yes, yes!" Those people quickly picked up the throwing knife from before, fixed it firmly on the floor again, and stepped on the handle of the knife deliberately, and waved to inform the two of them after confirming that it was correct. , Looks like the grandson of a turtle.

"Beggars hate people, I despise spineless people the most!" Ziqi snorted disdainfully, and when he looked at Baili Jiuge, he smiled sincerely again, "Sister Heifeng, you go, this time you must be careful."

"it is good."

Baili Jiuge responded, and after Ziqi re-fixed the silver thread, she jumped up gently, stepped on the silver thread, and landed smoothly on the other side like a gliding firebird.

Looking back, he gave Ziqi a look, and the meaning in it seemed to be transformed into words in Ziqi's mind, and he could understand it without realizing it.Such a tacit understanding made them laugh even more from the bottom of their hearts. With bright eyes, they bravely dispelled the darkness of death around them.

"Ziqi, are you ready?"

"Okay! Sister Heifeng, I'm here!"

After saying that, Ziqi began to reel in the line, and as the line became shorter, her body also left the ground and glides towards the opposite bank.

Baili Jiuge saw the time correctly, raised his small hand, and shot out the feathers one by one, for Ziqi to step on them for strength.

It was only time for a cup of tea, and with the help of Baili Jiuge, Ziqi successfully landed here.After landing on the ground, he clapped his hands excitedly to celebrate, and then retracted all the silver wires into his sleeves.

At this moment, Ziqi's two little hands were already red, red and white, as if pieces of cinnabar had been splashed on the originally white porcelain.

Seeing that Baili Jiuge was feeling a little nervous, he hurriedly took out some medicine for bruises from his bosom, held Ziqi's wrist with one hand, moved in front of him, and applied the medicine for her.

This caring action made Ziqi laugh heartily: "When I used to practice Mingning Ten Lines, my hands were so hurt that I couldn't see it every day. Every time, Senior Brother Ziqing gave me medicine and encouraged me not to I am afraid of pain, so I have to keep practicing. So now I have practiced to ten times, no matter how injured my hand is, I don’t care about it!"

Baili Jiuge's clear eyes rolled slightly.Mo Li... As expected, he has always been so meticulous, taking care of Ziqi like a younger sister.Come to think of it, if there was no Moli, Ziqi might have suffered more when he was a child, and he might not even be able to persevere.

While his mind was racing, the action in his hand was almost completed.

After Ziqi's wound was soaked in ointment, it became much cooler. She breathed out beautifully, and instead of feeling pain, she felt her heart was unbelievably warm, and said, "Okay, let's continue going up."

Baili Jiuge nodded, looked towards the third floor, and remembered that after a few people who went up to the third floor screamed, they fell silent, most likely dead.

On the third floor, I don't know what kind of fear and test is waiting for her.

Baili Jiuge firmly stepped up the stairs.

"Let's go." No matter what happens next, she will just persevere!
Finally set foot on the third floor, Baili Jiuge looked at the men who followed her closely.There were dozens of people when they first entered the tower, but now there are only thirteen left...

Her bright eyes sank slightly, and she said: "After passing through the two floors just now, you have all seen that acting recklessly is a dead end, and trying to escape is also a dead end. Xiao Si Ming and I must climb to the top of the tower today. , we will never die. So if you also want to live, follow our arrangement and don't act indiscriminately."

The men all nodded in agreement.As long as you can save your life, you can do whatever you want, the worst is to reach the top of the tower, and then cross the river and demolish the bridge.

Baili Jiuge just instructed, narrowed his eyes and focused his eyes, looking at the corpses in front of him.Those people came up just now, and the way they died was...

"Damn it!" This is too miserable, too horrible to look at!But Baili Jiuge still forced himself to observe.

I saw that those people must have stepped on the mechanism, so hundreds of long and sharp bamboo sticks emerged from the floor, first piercing the feet of those people, nailing them to the ground so that they could not move, and then stabbing upwards.It pierced their legs, abdomen, chest cavity, and finally penetrated into their skulls and emerged from the top of their heads.

The expressions of those people have become rigid at this moment, covered with blood, but they look so miserable.

Being pierced to death by hundreds of bamboo sticks from the bottom to the top, this kind of extreme pain from the feet to the head, at the last moment of piercing the head, took away life... This kind of death is simply...

Even though Baili Jiuge didn't want to look any more, he still stared at those people intently, as if feeling the pain and mourning before their death.

Finally, she looked away and looked at the entire hall on the third floor again.

Looking at the third floor, it is different from the bottom two floors. The carvings on the floor and the brick patterns on the walls are extremely gorgeous, and even the lights reflect light spots that flow like water.

At first, Baili Jiuge felt that those light spots were moving too frequently, and it was really dazzling.But all of a sudden, she suddenly discovered that the shape formed by the seven light spots that flashed across her field of vision just now was exactly a spoon, that is, the Big Dipper!
But could this be just a coincidence?

Baili Jiuge stared at it again, trying to remember the jumping trajectories of all the light spots in his heart.

Looking at it, she was surprised to find that the pattern formed by the trajectories of those light spots was a map of 28 constellations!
Then, all the light spots disappeared, leaving only the one that formed the pattern of the Big Dipper, jumping, drawing the shape of the spoon over and over again, and finally fixed on the third star of the Big Dipper.

After a while, all the light spots were working as before.

"Sister Heifeng, what the hell is this?" Ziqi was completely confused.

But Baili Jiuge, as if his body had been pierced by lightning, could not blink for a long time.

This formation is too familiar to her!The array contains the succession of the 28 constellations in the sky, which is intricate and can have countless changes.And the eye of the formation is the position of the third star of the Big Dipper.

The name of that star is called "Tianji".

And this set of formations is - Tianji Maze.

"Ziqi." Baili Jiuge didn't know what expression he had at the moment, but only knew that shock and doubts were constantly pouring out of his heart.

The Tianji Maze Array is an ancient strange array that has been lost for many years. There are very few people in all countries who know how to use this array, and most of them use it superficially.

But there is only one person who can use this formation to perfection - that is her master, Yi Fang Sanren.

Unable to help, Baili Jiuge murmured: "Tell me, why did Tianji Maze appear here? I have heard from my master that the degree of ferocity of Tianji Maze is far beyond what the world can imagine. In the war between the two countries, the prince of the Jin country used some superficial Tianji mazes to make the Dashang's army invincible, so it is self-evident how powerful the master should be. But..."

Turning his head to look at Ziqi, his expression became more and more full of doubts, "But, where did Master learn the Tianji Maze, he never mentioned it, and he also said that he would not teach the Tianji Maze to me and Guyan Now, I don’t know if it’s my subconscious that’s causing trouble. I actually feel that the Tianji Maze will appear here. Although it’s a different form of expression, it undoubtedly shows that it has something to do with the Yin Yang family. Then the master, Could it also be related to the Yin Yang family?"

Ziqi was stunned, blinked in surprise, and said, "Don't we people in Qihua Valley have many secrets? Many of them hide their names and don't know their backgrounds. But just ask Uncle Yi Fang, he is your master." , I won’t deliberately not tell you.”

makes sense.Baili Jiuge also understands that the most important thing right now is to go to the top of the pagoda, so she doesn't think about Master's business for now, and she can't help but feel lucky, it's fortunate that Master taught her the trick to break the formation, otherwise, this level would not be enough. know how.

So he said to everyone: "This is Tianji Maze, it's too complicated and I don't bother to explain it, so you can rest beside it."

Everyone was very surprised to hear this, what exactly does this mean?
Later, they saw even more strangely that Baili Jiuge was shooting feathers continuously, and they didn't know what they were shooting. Anyway, they were shooting floor tiles or wall tiles, and they would stop from time to time, observe and think for a while, and then continue.

As a result, after a stick of incense time passed, everyone was shocked to see that Baili Jiuge walked down the opposite staircase in a chic and luxurious manner.

"What the hell is going on here?!" The men couldn't understand at all, so they had to run over.

Only Ziqi understood that Baili Jiuge was using internal force to dismantle the formation.It looks simple, but if there is a slight deviation in the middle, it will be over.

Finally, set foot on the fourth floor.

Baili Jiuge felt that his legs were already a little soft.

But what surprised her was that she originally thought that the stairs on the fourth floor would be on the opposite bank like the floors below, but unexpectedly, the stairs on the fourth floor were not far ahead, and she could walk there only twenty or thirty steps away.

This discovery made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, it is quiet here, without any murderous intent, and the atmosphere is different from the lower floors, it feels much quieter and safer.

So someone let down his vigilance, forgot Baili Jiuge's warning just now, and just walked towards the stairs.

And when Baili Jiuge opened his lips to call him back, it was already too late.

The accident happened again like a boulder crashing down, without warning.

Dozens of thumb-sized red Gu worms suddenly jumped up from the handrail of the stairs, jumped onto the man, and got in!

The man exhaled in horror, and before the sound fell, it turned into a heart-piercing scream.

Everyone could see clearly that the meridians, muscles, and internal organs of the person were being eaten by the red bugs.

The bodies of those bugs became bigger and bigger, but this person's body became more and more transparent and thin. As time went by, half of the internal organs were eaten.Those bright red Gu worms had grown to the size of a palm, wriggling and gnawing on his translucent body.

And this person, those two eyes are still open, but the person is already dead.

Now, even Ziqi covered his eyes in fright.She asked herself that her hands were bloody and ruthless, but she had never used human life as a toy in such a perverted way!

However, the development of things cannot be distracted.

Because the unlucky man was eaten up, leaving only a piece of human skin and seven holes in his head.And those few red Gu worms didn't seem to be full, after getting out of the man's seven orifices, they bounced and rushed towards him!

"Wow!" Everyone screamed and fled. This unparalleled fear almost killed them.

Even Ziqi gasped, and instinctively used the Ten Lines of Life Condensation to cut a nearby Gu worm into two pieces.

Frightened, he heard Baili Jiuge's shout, but he was still so firm: "Ziqi, use the snake medicine! Use it quickly!"

Zi Qi realized immediately, and immediately sprinkled the snake medicine and went out.

Immediately, the death method of those Gu worms became like the snakes in the forest before, they died extremely fast, and it seemed that there was only one left.

But an accident happened again, the last worm didn't eat the remnants of its companion, but suddenly changed direction and attacked a man.

At this moment, Baili Jiuge was next to the man. She was about to spill the snake medicine, but she didn't expect that the man would push her to block her to death.

She staggered two steps, and just when she stood still, the palm-sized Gu worm pounced on her chest in front of her eyes.

Baili Jiuge was sure that the Gu worm had already stained her clothes and was about to penetrate, and there was no way to escape!
At this moment, I can't think of anything, only fear, engulfing the whole world, ruthlessly engulfing the gentle and elegant figure engraved in the depths of my heart...
