020 Love in the heartless gate of life and death
(Today I am adding an update to the promised thousand collections. In order to facilitate the two chapters to be put together, this chapter is very long. //. 78 No pop-ups, fast updates // ( ·~ ))
Yueniang lined up the small bowls filled with blood and signaled her daughter to listen to what was going on outside the house and on the roof, making sure no one was eavesdropping. Then she lowered her head, pretending to distinguish the ingredients of the spices, and said in the lowest voice: "Peace, You must listen carefully to what mother says."
Eleven also wanted to ask his mother a lot, but seeing his mother's cautious expression, he had to put his questions aside for the time being.
She didn't expect that what her mother told her was about Danhong.
Not only in the Snake Country, but also outside, Danhong was known for her lewdness and notoriety, but only a few people knew that she was once a very innocent girl.
When she was still at the Red Gate, she fell in love with a death warrior trainer named Qing. Qing was also passionately devoted to her. They were an excellent couple, but the mistake was that they were born in the Gate of Life and Death.
There is no airtight wall in the world. No matter how careful they are, the superiors still know about it.
Qing was the most capable death slave at that time, while Dan Hong and Ye were the two most promising death slaves over the years.
A dead soldier cannot have feelings. Once he has feelings, he can no longer be a good dead soldier.
Therefore, the relationship between Qing and Danhong will never be allowed.
They used Dan Hong to threaten Qing, forcing him to take the obscene poison and have sex with the women in front of Dan Hong.
If he doesn't agree, he will give Danhong to the Snake King.
Don't do it for yourself.
Unknowingly, Dan Hong was furious and walked away, but after gradually calming down, she decided that Qing was not such a person, so she looked back to find Qing and wanted to know more about it.
Unexpectedly, Qing had been poisoned and lost his mind at this time, and he and other dead warrior trainers recruited dead slaves for fun.
Seeing Dan Hong, he captured her and forcibly drank the poisonous poison on her. When the poisonous poison struck her, he shared her with other dead men and tortured her until she became humanoid all night long.
Although the poison in Danhong's body broke out, he was still awake, in pain, and unwilling to die like this. From then on, he became taciturn, focusing all his attention on training, and finally left the door of life and death.
After leaving the Gate of Life and Death, the first thing she did was to kill Qing with her own hands.
Qing died, but her broken heart could never be repaired.
She hated men, but the poison in her body made her more and more inseparable from men. Hatred and desire swallowed up her nature, and gradually she became the Danhong she is now.
Yue Niang didn't tell Eleven that Ye Qing had not completely lost his mind. He invited all the dead men to share Dan Hong. It was Yue Ji who was testing him. If he didn't do this, Dan Hong would die of love for him. Danhong will be the plaything of those dead soldiers sent by Yue Ji until her death...
When he did this, Dan Hong hated him to the core, but those dead men were playing and having sex with her, and they would be careful not to hurt her life.
And he also had the opportunity to secretly notify Dan Hong's partner in the Red Gate, Shi Qi, who later became Ye Ye, and asked him to come and rescue Dan Hong.
Although Ye was still at Hongmen at that time, his skills were already beyond the reach of those dead soldiers. He stabbed several dead soldiers and took away Danhong.
Although Ye was subjected to inhuman torture and punishment afterwards, the superiors were still reluctant to let him die. Coupled with Qing's performance, Yue Ji dispelled her doubts and both Ye and Danhong finally survived.
When Dan Hong went to assassinate Qing, Qing pretended to be indulging in wine and sex, and was killed by Dan Hong without any resistance. Otherwise, with his ability, even if Dan Hong left the red door, he would not be able to hurt a finger of him.
Ye got the news and rushed to stop him, but it was too late. The red long sword had already pierced Qing's chest. ~
Until Qing died, he stared at Dan Hong without any scruples. He didn't say a word, but there was a smile on his lips. However, after he died, two tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
Yueniang only hopes that Eleven will see the ruthlessness and darkness in the Snake Kingdom, and does not want her to see the love behind the darkness, so she will not tell her these words.
Holding her daughter's hand tightly, "Peace, you must not fall in love with any man from Yue country under any circumstances."
Eleven sighed secretly, now Dan Hong, it is better to call her pitiful than to call her scary and vicious.
He patted the back of his mother's hand and said, "Mom, don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen to me."
She just wanted to take her mother away, so how could she be embarrassed in a place like this.
The sound of footsteps came, and the time for Eleven to wake up to a stick of incense had come, but her mother had not yet analyzed the spices, so she worriedly said: "Mom."
Yueniang patted her hand gently, "Don't worry."
He quickly jotted down the names of the spices he already knew, and then started researching two unknown medicines.
In a moment, footsteps had already reached the door. I had no chance to ask the man in white any more questions, so I had to suppress them and look for another opportunity.
Yueniang hesitantly wrote down some medicine, but the wooden door had already been pushed open.
The Queen stepped into the threshold, "How?"
Yueniang handed over the written recipe, "It's still a little bit different and can't be distinguished."
The Queen hurriedly scanned the formula, her eyes fell on the last medicine, her face was cold and cold, and she squeezed out three words between her teeth, "Marquis Pingyang."
Jin Niang, who was following the Queen, came forward and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean, that Taoist priest is from Pingyang Marquis?"
The queen glanced at Jinniang, and then Jinniang realized that there were Wu's mother and daughter here.
Although the dead soldiers trained here are to deal with Pingyang Marquis, they are not allowed to know too much about Pingyang Marquis, so as to prevent others from talking too much and leak the information, they quickly shut up.
Although there was still a spice that could not be found, the result satisfied the Queen. She ordered Eleven to step aside and asked Yueniang to stay here so that she could prepare fragrant soup for the Snake King and serve him to bathe at any time.
Jin Niang was told to send someone to keep an eye on Yueniang and not allow Shi Yi to have any more private contact with Yueniang.
Because Yueniang is the key to controlling Eleven, she will never allow them to have too much contact and cause trouble.
The Marquis of Pingyang and the Yue Kingdom are incompatible with each other, so it is inevitable for the Marquis of Pingyang to remove the Snake Emperor.
There is nothing wrong with using Jin Chai's hatred for the Snake Emperor to kill the Snake Emperor.
But Jin Chai was a poor girl. Although Marquis Pingyang was not responsible for such a cruel death, Marquis Pingyang could not escape his involvement.
The man in white, who looked like an orchid in a deep valley, floated before Eleven's eyes. It was like a huge stone pressing on Eleven's heart, making him somewhat suffocated.
Lying on the bed, looking at the dim ceiling above my head, I was in a daze. Could that person really be such a snake-hearted person?
Xiao Qi jumped to Eleven's bed and sat down, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, "Hey, girl, are you scared to death?"
Eleven rolled his eyes and looked at Xiao Qi who was already fine, "What kind of person do you think...Pingyang Hou is?"
Xiao Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "The number one enemy of the Yue Kingdom."
Eleven rolled his eyes, isn't this nonsense, "I mean as a human being."
Xiao Qi curled his lips, "I've never seen him, and if I see him in the future, either he dies or I die. What kind of person does he have to do with me? If you have time to think about this, why not think about it? Only by passing the red door can you survive. [Ye*][*]"
Eleven was dumbfounded, yes, the dead soldiers of the Yue Kingdom existed to kill Marquis Pingyang. All they cared about was the life and death of Marquis Pingyang and themselves. As for the rest, no one would care.
*************
A young man dressed in snow-white clothes was sitting on the porch looking at the newly blooming octagonal lotus.
Ling Feng landed lightly in the courtyard. Looking at the owner who was as quiet as water, he couldn't help but walk lightly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the peaceful atmosphere.
After standing for a while, the man finally looked up and asked, "How did things go?"
"The story about Danhong has been passed on to Madam Yue, and Madam Yue has also met her daughter." Ling Feng reported the situation directly, "Isn't the Marquis afraid that she will treat Ye..."
"With Mrs. Yue's personality, she would never tell her that Qingqiu Ye rescued Dan Hong, and that Ye was tortured and almost died because of the rescue of Dan Hong."
The man raised his head, his stern face faced the sunlight, and his whole person became much brighter. He chuckled slightly, and a trace of slight contempt appeared on the corner of his mouth. In order to put the past completely away, Mrs. Yue would rather hate him to the core and have sex with Snake. The country's most formidable enemy was her enemy, and she had to hide the reason for the massacre that day. How could she be willing to tell her the remaining true feelings in the darkest corner of the country?
Ling Feng never doubted his master's understanding of people's hearts.
"The animal was seriously injured. Although Mrs. Yue could identify one of the medicines, she couldn't identify the other. No matter how Yue Ji tried, the animal could live for another three months at most. Once the animal dies, it will take a short time. , It’s hard for them to have a second Snake King. Once the poisonous miasma in the Acacia Forest dissipates, our people can attack it. I don’t believe that we can’t defeat the Snake Kingdom and catch that monster.”
The man smiled and said, "Where are those animals kept now?"
"Yue Ji left it at the second gate to heal."
The man's dark eyebrows only frowned slightly, then spread out, his eyes dark and heavy.
Ling Feng waited for a while, but when the man didn't say anything, he said again: "Jin Chai is dead."
This result was expected by the man, "Hongwen has always wanted a child, hasn't he? Give Jinchai's younger brother to Hongwen to raise, and when he is older, let Lingyun accept him as his disciple."
Ling Feng frowned, "But this child was sent out from the acacia forest... The miasma poison on his body... If he has been using the water of Yue country for many years, it would be a bit of a fuss. In fact, Jin Chai also knows that her brother has miasma poison in him... The miasma in the Albizia Julibrissin Forest cannot survive for long. Even without this child, Jin Chai would still do this because of his hatred for the Snake Emperor..."
The man in white looked back at the Octagonal Lotus in front of him, "This is the agreement between us and Jin Chai. She has completed the task, and we have to fulfill our promise. No matter how long this child can live, we have to do our best."
Ling Feng knew very well how dangerous it was to get water in the Yue Kingdom. If he was not careful or took a step out of the forest too late, he would be infected with the miasma. However, in the Yan Kingdom, only the people who could enter the Albizia Julibrissin Forest and stay briefly to obtain the Albizia Julibrissin water were The young master in front of me.
It's not worth trading the life of a child from the Snake Country with the safety of your master.
He said anxiously: "But..."
The man in white looked at him again, his eyes softened, "You don't have to worry about me, I will take care of myself. Hongwen has great medical skills. Wouldn't it be a good thing if the solution to the acacia miasma can be found in this child? Zhuang, go down and make arrangements."
He said it easily. As a loyal servant, Ling Feng couldn't let go. But he knew very well how much his master valued the word 'reputation'. He was worried, but he knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he could only sigh. After taking a breath, he responded, "Yes." and walked away.
Not long after, a white dove hovered around the hand of the man in white, spread its wings and flew high into the sky.
Three months.
No one can predict how many incidents will happen in three months.
He didn't want to take any chances.
Looking at the white dove going away, his expression darkened slightly and he sighed silently.
Then he smiled bitterly.
He is good at reading people's hearts, so why is that monster not good at reading people's hearts?
Putting the Snake King in the second door, he had to worry about that girl's safety.
Anyway, there is still a long time to come, so there is no need to rush now.
****************
The snake king is different from humans. It does not need a doctor to recover from its injuries, but needs more women for it to absorb the essence and blood.
As a result, young girls were constantly being sent to the Snake King's temporary dormitory, and every day, mutilated female corpses were sent out of the second door.
However, the girl's essence and blood absorbed by the Snake King were restrained by the two poisons in its body and could not be circulated throughout the body. The Snake King's injuries were only serious but not improved.
However, one of the drugs has not been identified so far, and the right medicine cannot be prescribed.
The Queen would come to the Second Gate every day to visit the Snake King. Once she came, her face would be a bit gloomy. Later, the entire Snake Kingdom would be shrouded in fear of the Queen breaking out at any time.
The girls on the training ground were trembling with fear, fearing that bad luck would happen to them.
Fortunately, because of the battle between the crocodile and the Snake King, the Snake King canceled the training to kill the crocodile while the Snake King was recuperating in the Second Gate. Therefore, except for returning to the Black Gate to rest, the dead soldiers in the Second Gate stayed away from the courtyard for the rest of the time. Potential back-hill training, Eleven is no exception.
In order to control Feng Xueliang earlier, Eleven would train Feng Xueliang for two more hours after every day's training. She would have less time to return to the Second Gate Courtyard, and the possibility of running into the Snake King would increase. of insignificance.
At first, Yue Niang was worried about Shi Yi, and she kept guarding the window next to the Snake King every day. Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and Shi Yi was not seen walking around in the courtyard, so she gradually relaxed.
A white pigeon flew overhead. Yueniang saw a circle of marks wrapped around the pigeon's feet. She looked slightly condensed. She stuck her head out of the window to make sure no one was watching. She picked up the bamboo basket for collecting medicine and walked out of the second door.
She needs some special herbs to prepare the fragrant soup, and there is no restriction on collecting herbs nearby.
That night, Eleven put away Feng Xueliang and dragged her exhausted body out of the back mountain.
A figure jumped over and stopped in front of her, looking panicked, "You are indeed here."
Eleven recognized this girl. She was the girl who wanted to climb into Xiao Qi's bed the night she first arrived, but Xiao Qi kicked her out of bed without mercy. Her name was Yue He.
These days, although Yue He still pesters Xiao Qi from time to time, she has no contact with Eleven, so Eleven doesn't have much impression of her.
At this time, she was suddenly stopped, a little surprised, "Is something wrong?"
Yue He's face turned red because she ran too fast, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead. She gasped and said, "Quick... quick, something happened to you... your mother."
Eleven was stunned for a moment, "What happened to my mother?" After identifying the spices, everyone knew about the relationship between Eleven and Yueniang.
"Snake... Snake King... I heard that the two girls sent yesterday were in poor health and died early... There was a vacancy around the Snake King, and he actually treated your mother..."
Eleven's brain buzzed.
Logically speaking, the Snake King would not harm Yueniang who prepared the fragrant soup for him, but this time the Snake King was seriously injured and was unconscious. If there was a vacancy around him, such a thing might not be impossible.
But one cannot easily trust anyone in the Hongmen. Although Eleven is worried about his mother, he has to be more careful about Yue He. After all, it is because of Xiao Qi that the girl who hates her is quite a lot. "How did you know?" Here The daughter was afraid of avoiding the Snake Emperor, so how could she possibly know what was going on in the Snake Emperor's room.
"I saw that Xiao Qi was not at Heimen, so I came out to look for him. I wanted to find a chance to be alone with him, but I saw him lying outside the window of the Snake King. He saw me and asked me to come look for you. He said he saw a snake The emperor has arrested your mother... He also said that the snake emperor is resting now. If he wakes up, your mother's life may not be saved. He is watching over there, asking you to go there as soon as possible, and use the two of them to try to catch the snake emperor before he wakes up. , save your mother..."
Eleven didn't believe much in Yue He's words, but when he heard that Xiao Qi was guarding there, he couldn't help but be shaken.
Besides, it was her mother who was involved in the accident. Whether it was true or not, she had to see it with her own eyes.
Whether what Yue He said is true or false, the truth can be revealed as long as he sees Xiao Qi.
He immediately stopped staying and headed straight towards the Snake King's temporary dormitory.
At the same time, he kept his eyes on Yue He. If Yue He behaved strangely, it meant there was something fishy about it.
Yue He was afraid of the Snake King, but as if he was worried about Xiao Qi, he followed Eleven in fear, and his appearance didn't look fake.
Approaching the Snake King's dormitory, there was a dark green embroidered shoe buckled at the door, but Xiao Qi was nowhere to be seen.
That embroidered shoe was very familiar to Eleven, and his heart suddenly tightened.
Stepping lightly, he avoided the ajar door, sneaked under the wall, and picked up the shoe. It turned out to be the embroidered shoe he had last seen his mother wearing.
Yue He hunched over in shock, squatted behind Eleven, looked around anxiously, and whispered: "Why can't I see Xiao Qi? Could it be..."
Although Eleven found her mother's shoes, she didn't see Xiao Qi. She was a little suspicious at first, but when she saw her taking the risk and followed her, she thought to herself that she was being careless.
He raised his head and looked at the closed window above his head. It was so quiet inside that there was no movement at all.
Yue He suddenly pointed in the direction of the crack in the door, her beautiful face turned pale instantly, her lips trembled, and she whispered: "Look."
Eleven followed her gaze and saw a small piece of torn fabric caught in the crack of the door.
In the door of life and death, the clothes in each door are uniform. The fabric caught in the door gap is the same as the one worn by Eleven. It can be concluded that it was torn from the dead slave in the second door.
These days, the girls sent to serve the Snake Emperor are all wearing gauze clothes of various colors that are easy to take off, which is very different from this kind of coarse cloth that is not easy to stretch.
The dead slave in the second door avoided this dormitory and would never come near it. So when entering the dormitory, the person whose clothes were torn off could only be Xiao Qi who Yue He said was guarding the door.
Xiao Qi ventured into the dormitory because there was only one possibility: her mother was in an emergency.
At this time, the room was so quiet that there was no sound, so mother and Xiao Qi...
Eleven shivered, no longer caring about Yue He, and stepped outside the door. He carefully opened a gap in the wooden door in front of him and looked inside.
At this moment, someone suddenly pushed him in the back, his body hit the door panel in front of him, and he fell forward.
A huge black shadow flashed before his eyes, and he instinctively rolled to one side to dodge.
The black shadow is the Snake King who is recovering from his injuries here.
The snake king missed her and stopped, tilting his head to look at her eagerly, ready to attack at any time.
Eleven suppressed the panic in his heart and glanced around. There was nowhere to see his mother and Xiao Qi. The snake king's body was smooth, and he didn't look like he had just swallowed a person.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Yue He's proud smile in the crack of the door that was slowly closing.
(The next chapter is a bit evil~~~)
