Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 170 The Mother Who Appeared Suddenly

After hearing Ziqi's words, Baili Jiuge only felt a sour wind blowing into his heart, and it was unavoidably a little sour.

What Ziqi said is true, time cannot be turned back, so many beautiful things are only a flash in the pan, and it is difficult to keep them for a while, let alone for a lifetime.

However, Baili Jiuge smiled and said sincerely: "I think it's nothing. The important thing is to keep the other party in your heart. In this way, even if you get together less and leave more, you can share the joys and joys of thousands of miles."

Ziqi tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded suddenly, and replied, "Yes, yes, I understand what Sister Heifeng said! No wonder Senior Brother Ziqing likes you so much. If I were my senior brother, I would also like Sister Heifeng!"

Baili Jiuge was speechless, and said with a smile: "What does this have to do with that..."

The two of them were talking, when a man's urging voice came from over there: "You two heroes, how long do you have to rest? You should hurry up and give it a go."

Hearing the man's tone a little impatient, and trying to maintain a respectful appearance, Ziqi shook his face and cursed: "Uncle, why are you in a hurry! If you are so anxious that you burn your ass, you can go up first! What's the rush, isn't it impolite to interrupt other people's chats?"

The man's complexion suddenly became like a pickle, thinking that he was considered an old man, but he was cursed by a little girl who pointed at his nose.

Ziqi ignored him and just talked to Baili Jiuge: "Sister Heifeng, those uncles are all made of air, we can just say ours."

Baili Jiuge smiled, patted Ziqi's hand lightly, and said, "Let's go up, Mo Li is still waiting for us."

Zi Qi was stunned for a moment, and immediately ran faster than anyone else, and rushed to the stairs, shouting as he ran, "Senior Brother Ziqing, here I come! Sister Heifeng and I will continue to go up to the sixth floor!"

Looking at the little figure with infinite vitality, like a rabbit, Baili Jiuge felt a little more warm in his heart, and thanked Ziqi from the bottom of his heart.If there is no Ziqi, but to come to the Tower of Nine Deaths alone, then the state of mind must be much more difficult than it is now.

The two of them went up to the sixth floor first, and the layout of the sixth floor was indeed the same as Han Chan said, blocked by a wall of fire.

The fire wall was burning very vigorously, the flames were blazing, there were only a few places on the wall that were not on fire, and they were just a few pictures of eight trigrams.

Baili Jiuge remembered Han Chan's words, saying that to break the mechanism at this level, it needs to be deduced in the way of gossip, and it can be done in one go.

Gossip is not difficult for Baili Jiuge. Originally, Yi Fang Sanren was good at the formation of five elements and eight trigrams. Study and understand from beginning to end.

Therefore, facing this level of mechanism, Baili Jiuge pushed aside the crowd, approached the firewall, and disassembled the firewall one by one according to the gossip deduction sequence that he had memorized so well.

In the end, it took only one stick of incense to waste the passage, and a staircase leading to the seventh floor appeared in front of it.

Before going upstairs, Baili Jiuge told everyone: "The words of that Han Chan girl just now seem to be true. She said that the seventh and eighth floors are tests of willpower. Let me remind you so that you can take care of yourself."

The men nodded one after another, surrounded Baili Jiuge and Ziqi, and continued to walk up.

Although Baili Jiuge imagined many kinds of mechanism settings on the seventh and eighth floors, he still couldn't imagine that the seventh floor has no mechanism at all, but the treasure house of the Yinyang family!
What's even more strange is that there is a wooden sign specially set up at the entrance of the treasure house, which reads "Contribution is honor, stealing is shameful."

Looking at the flying words, Baili Jiuge suddenly felt that he wanted to laugh but couldn't, and he wanted to sneer more in his heart.This probably came from the master of the Tower of Nine Deaths again, that person is really too bizarre!
At this moment, Ziqi called out: "Sister Heifeng, look at that!"

I saw Ziqi was pointing at one of the many rare jewels. It was a round bead, which was contained in a special crystal scallop shell. It was bright enough to eclipse the surrounding firelight. It was similar to daytime fluorescence. , also illuminated the perfect texture of the beads.

Baili Jiuge couldn't help being startled: "The Pearl of the Moon?"

She has seen this kind of rare treasure before, and she has also heard from Luoxia that the national treasure of Heluo Kingdom is the Pearl of the Moon, but it was stolen by a thief who hid in the Tower of Nine Deaths. Luo Xia gets news from the Yin Yang family...

In this way, the moon pearl in front of me is the lost treasure of Heluo Kingdom?

Baili Jiuge approached subconsciously, looked at the moonlight pearl carefully, and was more and more amazed by its natural texture and fluorescence.

She raised her hand, subconsciously about to put away the Cang Hai Yue Ming Pearl and the crystal scallops, so as to send them back to Luo Xia, but at this moment, the action was interrupted by those men's shouts.

All those men's eyes glowed and they rushed into the mountains of gold, silver and jewels.

"Oh my God, look at this, look at this, it turns out to be Zhenshan Baoyu hidden in the dragon veins of Kunlun Mountain. I didn't expect to see such a top-quality jade!"

"Wow! Such a big ingot, with one, I will have enough food and clothing for the rest of my life. I don't have to wander in the rivers and lakes anymore! I can finally buy a big house and marry a beautiful lady, hahaha..."

"Oh, this is, it's a thousand-year-old tortoise shell! There are very few animals like tortoise shells, let alone ones that have lived for a thousand years... Get rich! Get rich!"

At this moment, the men picked up all kinds of gold and silver jewelry one after another, holding the ones in their hands and looking at the ones in the pile. Two of them even took out their pockets and started packing them in big and small bags. There are too many, I want to pretend to be that after pretending this, it is too embarrassing!
Seeing the excited smiles on their faces, Baili Jiuge was shocked, as if woken up by a stone that came from the void.

No, I fell for it!The test of will that Han Chan mentioned, could it be these jewels? !
She hurriedly shouted: "Stop it! Put those things down!"

It was too late and then it was too fast, I saw that the hands of those men holding the jewels suddenly turned grayish white, like burning ash, quickly spread along their arms, and swept their entire bodies.

The scream hurt Baili Jiuge's ears severely, and the men in front of him were eroded by the poison on the jewelry within a short time.The poison burned the skin of their whole body to the color of ashes, and then burned their internal organs, the pain was too painful.

And this poison, which Baili Jiuge had also seen before, was the "burning heart" that Yin Ruyi had mentioned back then!
At that time, Yin Ruyi's miserable face before she died, her hands and feet were cut off and ligated, and her inhuman face with two eyes full of resentment...these came to Baili Jiuge's mind , which made her tremble, and quickly withdrew her hand.

It's so dangerous, just now, she almost touched that moonlight pearl.If she really touched it, she would end up in the same way now!
Even though she didn't get close to the jewelry because of greed, but at that moment, she was indeed negligent...

Baili Jiuge bit his lower lip, looked away, several drops of cold sweat had already rolled down the back of his neck.

In front of them, those men fell to the ground, their viscera and menstrual blood were burned by the heart-burning poison, and they died with regret.Some people still hugged the bags stuffed with jewels tightly until they died, without realizing that it was these rare objects that killed them.

As for the remaining six men, they didn't dare to get close to those jewels just now because they were afraid of the trap, now seeing that they had escaped, all of them wiped off their sweat and whispered.

Baili Jiuge was still standing in front of the dazzling array of treasures, exhaled suddenly, and laughed coldly.

At this level, the test is human greed, right?
That's all!In the end, he didn't think about it any further, Baili Jiuge looked around, but he didn't see the stairs, so he simply turned around and walked towards the entrance door.

At this moment, the wooden sign was still standing crookedly by the door, Baili Jiuge walked to the door, his eyes searched for the stairs again, but he never saw the stairs.

From the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the wooden sign.Baili Jiuge was surprised to find that the words on the wooden sign had changed!
I saw that the new words were written like this - "Intruders, congratulations for coming out empty-handed. The mechanism to open the stairs is the lever in the lower right corner."

Baili Jiuge's eyes sank, and he glanced at the bottom right of the sign, and a lever actually appeared, and when they entered the room just now, the lever was definitely not there.

Baili Jiuge couldn't help saying: "The mechanism of the Tower of Nine Deaths is really powerful!"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pulled the lever.

The next moment, the base of the whole room began to rotate, Baili Jiuge saw that Ziqi almost lost his footing, so he helped her up.And when the base stopped rotating, the door just now was gone, and another door appeared in front of everyone, and outside the door was the stairs leading to the eighth floor.

Baili Jiuge and Ziqi were no longer surprised. They had no time to think about the strange mechanism of the Yinyang family, so they just walked towards the eighth floor.

I still don't know what the eighth floor will be.Baili Jiuge told himself in his heart, don't make the mistake of the seventh floor, otherwise, he might not be as lucky as the seventh floor next time.

After thinking about it, he finally stepped on the penultimate floor. Baili Jiuge stepped firmly on the wooden floor, looked at the empty hall, and walked forward.

Here... nothing.She subconsciously looked around, and there were no windows, just like a cage surrounded by thick wood.

At the end of the nose, there is a wisp of light fragrance, which gradually becomes thicker. The smell is a bit like galangal roasted in the Chonghua Palace of Empress Yuan.

Baili Jiuge sensed the direction from which the fragrance was coming from, and looked over, only to find that there was a dark altar table in the darkest part of the center of the hall, and the incense burner with twin phoenix phases on the table was indeed burnt with spices. , is braving the curling smoke.

She remained vigilant and approached step by step, wanting to check.But as he walked, the altar and incense burner in front of him gradually became blurred, and then they seemed to be engulfed by the lingering smoke, and they were so blurred that they could no longer be seen.

This is not right!

Baili Jiuge hurriedly called out: "Ziqi, look at that incense burner!"

No one answered.

Baili Jiuge hurriedly turned his head to look, and was taken aback when he saw it.What happened, where did Ziqi go?And not only Ziqi, those six men also disappeared!

"Ziqi! Ziqi!" Baili Jiuge hurriedly looked around, calling Ziqi's name.

However, no matter how she focused her eyes, she couldn't see a single figure.In this huge eight-story hall, she was the only one left!
Oops!An instinctive guess flashed in my heart.Could it be that when he wanted to check the incense burner, Ziqi and the others were sent elsewhere by the agency?If this is the case, then how will she find Ziqi, and she is even more afraid that Ziqi will be in danger...

Baili Jiuge shook his head, stopping his thoughts.She can't think about it, now is not the time to think about it!You must concentrate, find the stairs, and go to the ninth floor!Now there is only one step away from the ninth floor, and we must not fall short!
"Nine Songs... Nine Songs..."

Someone seemed to be calling her in the dark, it was a woman's voice.

Baili Jiuge was startled, and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw someone walking out slowly, still shouting: "Jiuge, my daughter..."

Mother? !
Baili Jiuge froze immediately, staring at the approaching woman in complete shock.

Do not!impossible!How could her mother appear here?Her mother passed away when she was five years old, so she was taken to Phoenix Valley by Master and Gu Yan.

This person is not mother, mother is dead!
But why do they look so similar.This person is exactly like my mother...

No!This is clearly my mother, even the habit of squeezing her right eye is exactly the same as my mother's.

What's going on, what the hell is going on...

Baili Jiuge couldn't help shaking his head, and retreated involuntarily.

Who can tell her what happened to all this, why did she see her former mother?
"Jiu Ge, my daughter, my daughter..." The woman approached, every expression and every movement on her face was too familiar to Baili Jiuge.

But suddenly, the woman pulled out a knife from behind, trembling violently, shouting desperately: "It's all because of you! It's all because of you! Why are you not a boy, why are you a woman! If I give birth to a boy, the master will take me into the house and let me enter the family tree. It's all because of you, I can only be a shady concubine!"

The cold-colored blade raised fiercely, and the coldness fell on Baili Jiuge's face.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of Mo Li.I remember that Mo Li told her to let her stop thinking about those childhood experiences, he would try to erase them for her, so that she would not be easily affected by those things...

The knife fell.

But Baili Jiuge suddenly raised his head decisively, looked at the too cold and too bright light, and said firmly: "You are not my mother."

The woman's knife stopped an inch above Baili Jiuge's eyebrows, the woman's expression twisted, and she shouted, "What did you just say?"

"I said, you are not my mother." She smiled coldly, her clear eyes were like unsheathed swords, as bright as the sun and the moon.

Baili Jiuge firmly said: "You are not my mother, my mother is dead! I don't care who you are pretending to deceive me, listen to me now, I will not be fooled by you! I am Baili Jiuge I'm not a person who can't get out of setbacks, and with Moli by my side, I don't pay attention to your tricks."

She scoffed: "You must tell the truth immediately, where Ziqi and the others have gone. If you still want to continue acting, don't blame me for kicking you hard!"

The woman was stunned, more like she was frightened by Baili Jiuge's words, she suddenly withdrew the blade and backed away quickly.

Baili Jiuge wanted to stop her from asking, but in the blink of an eye, she had retreated into the dark shadows and saw someone.

"Stop! Tell Ziqi where they are!" Baili Jiuge shouted, but no one answered.

That person still left after all... Baili Jiuge felt somewhat uncomfortable. After all, that person was too similar to her mother. Now that he has learned from the pain, he will still feel emotional.

But at this moment, in the darkness, someone came out again.

After seeing who that person was, Baili Jiuge gasped again.

Miss? !
"Third sister, you have hurt me so badly..."

Baili Hongxiao was wearing a white prison uniform, her hair was disheveled, her face was full of tears, and she was crying miserably. She cried and complained: "Didn't you promise me and Meng Fu that you would send us out of the city safely? But in the end We were taken to the execution ground to beheaded, but you slept late and failed to save us..."

She cried and cried, the two lines of clear tears gradually turned red, and finally turned into shocking tears of blood, "Third sister, if Meng Fu and I didn't believe you by mistake, we wouldn't be miserable as a pair of Huangquan mandarin ducks." , we died so wrongly..."

no no!

Baili Jiuge was completely stunned, and his mind was unavoidably a little confused.If it is said that the person just now pretended to be his mother, then what happened to the red silk in front of him?Why do they know everything? !
"Who the hell are you!?" Baili Jiuge shouted.

But Baili Hongxiao just cried, very much like her unfortunate and indisputable cowardly temperament, crying and crying, thin red spots suddenly appeared on her neck, oozing blood.

Then the red color became wider and wider, and Baili Hongxiao's head suddenly broke off, and there was still a piece of meat attached to the neck, which did not fall off.

Baili Jiuge gasped, at this moment, a wave of anger suddenly appeared in his heart.

She admitted that at that moment just now, she was still a little overwhelmed by the sudden incident.But now, she won't!If there is still a little bit of wavering, then she is not a hundred miles away, and no one can lie to her!

The next moment, Hong Ying jumped up, and Baili Jiuge rushed in front of Baili Hongxiao.

"Get out!" She kicked up hard, kicking Baili Hongxiao and her head together to an invisible place.

After settling down, he scoffed loudly: "Yin Yang family, have your consciences been eaten by dogs? How dare you play with people's hearts like this! You will definitely suffer retribution for what you have done in the future!"

But as soon as the words fell, footsteps sounded behind Baili Jiuge.

She kept vigilant, listening to the voice was very slow, a little unsteady... This kind of voice was very familiar to her, it was the sound of Mo Li's footsteps!
