313 Return to the Mist Bamboo Forest
The soldiers thought about it, and it was feasible. They were thinking of calling someone to take care of the Duke of Chu temporarily.
The Duke of Chu stamped his feet anxiously, "If you don't leave quickly, do you want thousands of us to be trapped and die in this cave?"
The soldier's expression changed and he did not dare to delay any longer. He said: "My lord, if you are tired, just rest against the wall. I can run fast and I will be back to carry you in a while."
When Duke Chu saw that this young man, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, was already so sensible, no wonder Xiao Hua put him next to him and nodded, "What's your name?"
The soldier said: "Youtian."
"Okay, I've written it down."
The Duke of Chu waited for Youtian to run away and rest against the wall. Someone stopped in front of him and turned around to help him, "My Duke, if you are tired, I will carry you."
Duke Chu shook his head, "I just want to take a rest. Youtian will be back soon. You guys go first."
He also heard what Chu Guogong said to Youtian. Huantian was quick and could at most return in a cup of tea. When the man saw that Chu Guogong refused, he didn't force it and thrust the torch in his hand at Chu Guogong. In his hand, "Then take a rest first. If something happens, just call and I will come back immediately if you hear me." ""
The Duke of Chu smiled and agreed, "Okay." He felt deeply in his heart that the soldiers led by Ye and Xiao Hua were really affectionate and righteous.
After sitting for a while, I put some distance between myself and the rest of the group. I stood up slowly while holding on to the wall. I groped for a while on the stone wall. I found a small protrusion with my fingers. I turned left and right and actually picked something on the stone wall. A small piece of rock revealed a small hole inside. He stretched his fingers into the hole and gently teased it. There was a very soft "click" sound on the stone wall beside him, and a low stone door slid open silently.
The Duke of Chu filled back the small stones. He bent down and entered the narrow passage behind the door, and the stone door closed silently behind him.
A cold earth air came over, and except for a ball of light illuminated by the torch in his hand, the dark and narrow road ahead was twisting and turning with no end in sight.
The Duke of Chu does not need eyes, but he likes the light of the torch. The dim light he can see makes him feel that he is still alive.
Only if he is alive can he find Qing Yi.
"Qing'er, be sure nothing happens to you. Only in this way can you reunite with Xiao Hua."
There are many caves in the mountains surrounding the Mist Bamboo Forest. These caves lead to various parts of the foggy bamboo forest.
The King of Northern Xinjiang is a person who thinks he understands artistic conception. Even if I sign a contract, I will choose a place with unique scenery like the Mist Bamboo Forest. Near Shiting is the place with the thickest fog and the most beautiful scenery in the Mist Bamboo Forest. Wait for the fog to come. Sitting in the pavilion. When the wind blows, it feels like being in a fairyland.
Now that the King of Northern Xinjiang has chosen the Mist Bamboo Forest to negotiate peace, the place where he will meet Qing Yi will definitely be the stone pavilion in the forest.
The Duke of Chu asked Xiao Hua where Qingyi and Chuba were separated. He is Qing Yi's father and has the right to know Qing Yi's situation, and Xiao Hua knows that he is familiar with Zengcheng, so he answers all questions and tells him everything he knows, hoping to use this to analyze what may happen to Qing Yi in the forest. Condition.
According to Chu Ba, Duke Chu could probably guess where Qing Yi would be trapped in the forest.
He just hoped that Qing Yi could avoid the corpses head-on and go to some safe place. In that case, he would have a chance to find her.
The Duke of Chu did not want Xiao Hua to go with him because he was not sure whether the place he thought was safe was actually safe.
If it is not safe, he will never return.
If Xiao Hua were with him, he might also die in the Mist Bamboo Forest.
If Qing Yi escapes from the Mist Bamboo Forest and he and Xiao Hua die in the forest, Qing Yi and Xiao Hua will also be separated by yin and yang.
He knew how important Xiao Hua's status was in Qing Yi's heart.
If something happens to Xiao Hua, it will be difficult for her to live alone.
He hopes Qing Yi can live happily.
So he couldn't let Xiao Hua be involved in danger.
He went into the forest to gamble alone. If he won the bet, Qing Yi and Xiao Hua would be able to stay and fly together.
If he loses the bet, he just loses the troublesome old man like him.
After exiting the narrow path, the cave became wider, but the road also became confusing and complicated.
Relying on memories from long ago, he recognized the path and groped forward.
Although the path he came in could only be entered but not exited, going forward from here, there was a three-way intersection. There was one direction in which you could climb out. From there, it was a valley path. At both ends of the road, you could climb out on one side. Entering the foggy bamboo forest, there is a steep cliff on one side, but there are some vines growing on the cliff. With Qing Yi's skill, it is not too difficult to climb up the cliff, and it is impossible for zombies to climb up the mountain.
As long as he finds Qing Yi and asks her to come here, she will have a chance to escape.
The closer he got to the fork in front of the road, the Duke of Chu seemed to be getting closer to his daughter. He couldn't help but quicken his pace and move forward quickly.
Suddenly, there was the restless sound of corpses in front of him. Duke Chu's heart suddenly reached Noise's eyes. He stood there, tilted his head slightly, listened carefully, and heard that it was zombies wandering outside the cave.
The Duke of Chu became more and more worried. There were so many corpses outside the cave, which showed that the situation in the foggy bamboo forest must be quite bad.
This road has become a dead end, so there are only two roads left, one of which is a dead end, and the other can also lead to the foggy bamboo forest.
The Duke of Chu carefully clung to the stone wall, staying away from the hole above, and slowly walked toward the road leading to the foggy bamboo forest.
He was so anxious that he bypassed the entrance of the cave and walked quickly. The intersection ahead was extremely hidden. If no one deliberately tempted him, the corpses would not be smart enough to find this cave.
Even if a few zombies accidentally enter, there is nothing to be afraid of.
The bamboo pole in his hand was suddenly caught by something on the ground.
He lifted up the bamboo pole and explored it. The thing was quite big.
There are no large beasts in the Mist Bamboo Forest, so the only ones lying on the ground are zombies or humans...
But the feeling of touching the thing from the bamboo pole is not like touching the flesh, but like a hard skeleton.
The Duke of Chu's heart seemed to suddenly stop and he slowly retreated. There would be a human skeleton here. There were only two possibilities. He had been dead for many years and the flesh on his body had rotted away. The other possibility was that he was eaten by the corpses.
According to what Chu Ba said, when they encountered the group of corpses, the King of Northern Xinjiang and a group of his men were also there.
Then the people on the ground may be from the King of Northern Xinjiang, or they may be Qingyi...
The Duke of Chu felt the blood surge in his head, making it increasingly difficult to see in the darkness before his eyes. Even the light of the torches was no longer visible.
He took a few deep breaths, stepped forward again, squatted down, and touched the skeleton.
It was the bones of a woman, which had been chewed cleanly and scattered into pieces with a wet feeling.
The Duke of Chu has been suffering from illness for the past few years, and his thin body with only a handful of bones left is shaking constantly.
"Qing'er..." He called out his daughter's name with a trembling mouth, and sat down on the ground in despair. The hand bone in his hand slipped from his hand, and something cold brushed against his hand.
He was startled. He quickly picked up the amputated hand bone. The fleshless arm wears a jade bracelet inlaid with gold and jade.
Duke Chu's breath tightened, and he hurriedly touched the other scattered broken bones, and touched the other arm, which also had a jade bracelet inlaid with gold and jade.
Not Qinger. Not Qinger.
Since it's not Qing'er. Then it’s Xiao Tao who is with Qing’er.
I said it on the eighth day of the lunar month. Qing'er separated from them in order to take Xiao Tao away, so Qing'er would not leave Xiao Tao behind for no reason.
So it doesn’t matter if it’s Tsing Yi or not. Neither is a good thing.
The Duke of Chu grabbed the hand bone and his hand couldn't stop shaking.
Qinger, Qinger.
The Duke of Chu dropped the broken bones in his hand and touched other broken bones on the ground.
He was so nervous that he couldn't breathe. If Qing'er and Xiao Tao were killed together, there would still be a corpse here.
Put all the bones you can touch into a pile and you're still just one person.
The Duke of Chu raised his head and looked forward, but his eyes could no longer see even the light of fire. He could see nothing.
His heart clenched.
With Tsing Yi's character, she would never abandon Xiao Tao even when the situation is desperate, so she must be nearby.
Tears welled up in his eyes. He dropped the bones in his hands, lay on the ground and groped forward, refusing to let go of every inch of land in the cave.
There is only one thought, if something happens to her, then find her bones. If there are no bones here, she may still be alive.
The cave was filled with the strong smell of corpses, but he was so focused on finding Qing Yi's bones that he, who was usually extremely cautious, didn't notice it at all.
Even the slightest sound occasionally came from the front, but he ignored it and was completely unaware of it.
It wasn't until he touched a hard leg that he woke up. He slowly raised his head and looked up. Although he couldn't see anything, he knew what he was holding on to.
Then there was a sharp pain in his shoulder, and many other hands grabbed at him and held him tightly.
The zombies in the cave became restless, and he didn't know how many zombies he was surrounded by.
He smiled bitterly, this life will eventually end here.
He didn't feel fear, only pain and regret. In the end, he couldn't find Qing Yi, and he couldn't look at Yueniang again. He closed his eyes and waited for death.
The aura of death enveloped him tightly, but his mind was unusually clear.
He seemed to see another space.
I saw him, who was twenty-six or seventeen years old, riding a jade rabbit and a horse, wearing a golden battle armor, with a golden imperial crown dancing on his head, surrounded by countless corpses.
He wielded a long red gold knife in his hand and fought all the way. Every time he swung the knife, wherever the golden light passed, countless zombie heads bloomed, carving out a path of blood.
At the end of the bloody road is the corpse king he has been searching for.
The Corpse King and all the corpses were sleeping underground and would not be exposed to harm anyone. But a few months ago, when he killed a thousand-year-old demon eel that had been harvesting yang and replenishing yin in the human world, the demon eel escaped. The eel escaped into the ground and woke up. The Corpse King, bewitching the Corpse King to be his enemy.
The Corpse King listened to the demon eel and was annoyed with him for interrupting his Qing Dynasty. He awakened the corpses in the ground to become his enemy.
In an earth-shattering fight, he killed the Corpse King, but was bitten by the demon eel. Although the demon eel was killed by his sword, on the way back, he suffered a poisonous attack and fell from the clouds.
In the confusion, I felt that I was being saved by someone, it seemed to be a woman.
The woman took good care of him, but she couldn't cure the poison in his body.
In the end, he couldn't survive the toxicity and turned that woman...
