The leaves of this plant are very strange, and the color is completely inconsistent with the surrounding environment. It looks green and soft, but it is hard and cold to the touch. Zhou Qiao can't help but frown, because he can't understand what kind of plant it is.

However, this plant is indeed very beautiful, exuding a faint and strange fragrance, which makes people intoxicated. Zhou Qiao took a deep breath, and then curiously stretched out his hand to touch the plant.

"Hiss~~"

A drop of blood dripped, and Zhou Qiao felt his finger was stung by something. He gasped in pain.

, then he looked down at the wound on his fingertip and found that his finger swelled rapidly, and the wound turned as black as ink! Zhou Qiao was immediately horrified;

"Oops, this thing is probably not a simple plant! It's actually extremely poisonous!"

He hurriedly pressed his hand on the wound, trying to prevent the toxin from spreading, and then quickly backed away, but before he could react, the toxin penetrated into his body from the wound and spread rapidly throughout his body!

Beads of sweat continued to form on Zhou Qiao's forehead, and his steps became heavier and heavier. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and stumbled to the ground, his clothes soaked. He pushed himself up with difficulty, then took out a medicine bottle from his arms, poured out a few pills and swallowed them.

His consciousness became more and more hazy, and the fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, making people unable to help but get lost in it, and his body gradually fell into coma!

...

I don’t know how long it took, but a dazzling white light suddenly lit up in the darkness.

Zhou Qiao opened his eyes and found that he was lying on the bed in the hospital, and sitting next to him was his grandfather. He saw his grandfather looking at him lovingly, with worries in the corners of his eyes.

This scene was so real that Zhou Qiao seemed to have forgotten something. He just couldn't help but struggled to get up, fell into his grandfather's arms, and cried loudly, like a helpless child.

, just asking for the warmth of the warm embrace of relatives.

Grandpa patted Zhou Qiao's shoulders to comfort him, and stroked Zhou Qiao's back over and over again.

In the days that followed, Zhou Qiao stayed with his grandfather in the charity hall, living a life of sunrise and sunset. This feeling of peace and happiness made Zhou Qiao nostalgic.

It wasn't until that day that he was accidentally scratched and saw the blood dripping slowly that he felt something was wrong, because he couldn't feel the pain. In fact, these days he always felt that he had forgotten something and could not remember it, and in his case Deep down in my heart, I seem to be reluctant to think of...;

Turning back to look in the direction of his grandfather, after looking for a long time, he realized that his grandfather's face did not seem to be old, but energetic. It was different from the grandfather in his memory. Zhou Qiao couldn't help but show a trace of doubt on his face.

Suddenly, Zhou Qiao's pupils tightened suddenly. He remembered that his grandfather had been buried long ago and could not be resurrected. And he himself should not have appeared in the charity hall, but... in the forbidden area of ​​​​the Wu clan!

This knowledge made Zhou Qiao tremble all over, and a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart. He had been hit by an illusion, and this illusion was very powerful. It could disguise everything as real and use the weakest emotions in his heart to transform himself. The picture you most want to see!

If he didn't wake up soon, he might never wake up again.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qiao bit the tip of his tongue violently, and the severe pain made him wake up instantly.

When he raised his head and looked around, Yi Guan and his grandfather had long disappeared, and he fell to the ground weakly, blood flowing all over the ground. The plant in the distance was still there.

Zhou Qiao smiled bitterly. He almost fell on this unknown plant. Fortunately, his mental strength was strong enough and he woke up in time. Otherwise, he would definitely be a dead body when the blood drained out soon.

Zhou Qiao held his breath and forced his body to sit up straight. The swelling in his hands did not disappear. The pills he took could only alleviate the spread of the toxin, but could not cure it. Fortunately, the toxin did not seem to be fatal. The person who got him was probably That fragrance.

He hasn't gotten the Long Yancao yet, so he can't go out yet, so he has to be more careful next time!

Zhou Qiao got up from the ground, then took out a piece of cotton cloth from his bag and simply bandaged the wound. Although his face was still pale after losing too much blood, at least he didn't faint again.

Slowly holding on to the wall, he continued to walk deeper. He passed by several unknown flowers and plants. This week, Qiao had learned a lesson and never dared to touch them again. He carefully avoided these seemingly beautiful but actually extremely dangerous plants. .

I don’t know how long I wandered around, but when I came to a secret room, I saw a sacred and majestic statue of a human body with a snake tail. It was the statue of Nuwa, the mother of the earth. This sculpture was so lifelike that after seeing it, Zhou Qiao couldn't help but kneel to the ground and kowtow three times with great respect.

In the western Hunan region, some ancient primitive villages believe in the descendants of Nuwa and worship the statue of Nuwa!

Although Zhou Qiao was born in the lineage of exorcising corpses and believed in the great god Chi You, he still respected and worshiped Nuwa extremely. Since he himself had requests from the witch seedlings, he did not dare to neglect the gods they enshrined.

There are countless vine branches surrounding this secret room, and there are many flowers and plants under the statue of Nuwa, among which is the "Dragon Grass" that Zhou Qiao is looking for;

Legend has it that there is a kind of medicine in the world. Although it cannot bring the dead back to life, it can make the dying people immortal. It is called "Dragon Grass". The growth environment of this grass is extremely harsh, and it is even harder to find an old one. This plant was obviously carefully cultivated by the Miao people and has a history of nearly a hundred years. Its value is even inferior to the rare Ganoderma lucidum that has been around for a hundred years!

Zhou Qiao took out the box from his bag and carefully put the asparagus into the box, then closed the lid, and then stood up to leave. Before he could take a step forward, he lost his center of gravity and his whole body fell involuntarily.

With a muffled "bang" sound, Zhou Qiao's body hit the solid floor tiles hard.

"Pfft~~"

Zhou Qiao couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood. He felt like his internal organs in his chest were almost shattered, and his eyes were filled with stars.

"Hiss~ It hurts so much"

, Zhou Qiao couldn't help but hiss lightly. He stretched out his hand to cover his chest and waited for a long time before reluctantly getting up from the ground. Unexpectedly, he was already very careful and triggered the mechanism and fell into the trap.

He looked up at the sky and found that the mechanism was sealed and could only be opened from the outside.

"Am I really going to die here?"

Zhou Qiao was unwilling to give in. His strong will to survive made him ignore the pain in his body. He gritted his teeth and groped the wall with difficulty, trying to find a hope passage.

But no matter how he groped, he couldn't find any clues in this small secret room, not even a piece of dust!

Frustration appeared on his face, and Zhou Qiao's hope was completely shattered. He didn't believe that he would be trapped by such a small mechanism. There must be some mechanism that he was not aware of!

Zhou Qiao collapsed on the ground. He felt dizzy and his eyelids were heavy, as if he weighed a thousand pounds, as if he could faint at any time;

"No, I can't give up"

Zhou Qiao shook his head and forced himself to stay awake.

He held on to the last of his consciousness, tried to control his thoughts and thoughts, and tried to collect the information in his mind, hoping to find something, but unfortunately, he found nothing.

"What went wrong and where is the agency?"

Zhou Qiao murmured to himself, and suddenly his eyes fell on the rattan on the wall. The smooth rattan covered the entire secret room, intertwined to form an uneven wall, like a huge spider web!

Zhou Qiao suddenly had an idea. He took out a dagger and slashed the rattan on the wall with all his strength!

With a sound of "呲LA", Zhou Qiao felt drops of vine sap falling on the ground, tick tick tick...

Some of it splashed on him. He wiped it with his hand and was shocked. The vine pulp was as thick as red blood.

"This, this is?"

Zhou Qiao opened his mouth wide in surprise, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief!
