Beidou Route·Elysium·Wonderland Fortress
The smoke was vast, the water was shimmering, dragons were flying around him, and phoenixes were dancing around him. Such bliss made Yun Musheng feel like he was in a dream, and the drumbeats were still ringing.
A sudden commotion came from his chest. Yun Musheng, half awake and half asleep, reached for the bag.
"Yo!" Something in the bag seemed to scratch his finger, causing him to wake up gradually. He carefully lifted up his collar and pinched out the contents of the bag with two fingers.
"Huh? What is this...?" I saw a paper figure in my hand. The four characters "Yin Qing Yuan Qian" written on it were constantly surging with internal energy, as if trying to break through the shackles of the paper figure.
A year ago, when senior Ji Zhanyu, one of the Six Stars of Tianxuan, completed the art of forwarding, he handed over the paper figure that sealed the evil curse and a spherical box with a Taoist charm to Yun Musheng. If one day the evil curse breaks out of the paper figure After sealing it, Yun Musheng put it in the box.
Regardless of whether Hua Xiaoqi wakes up at that time, she will then become the host of this spell. By then, her injuries will at least have recovered and her life will not be in danger. Even if the curse strikes again, with Hua Xiaoqi's physique, at least I don’t know how many years later it happened.
After all, apart from her, it is extremely difficult for anyone else in the world to have such a wonderful bone that can accommodate such evil curses.
"This is... when did it happen? Why... I can't remember." All kinds of past scenes crazily stimulated Yun Musheng's head, and the drumbeats got louder and louder, giving him a splitting headache.
One of the many pictures in his mind caught Yun Musheng's attention, and that was the memory of him and Lu Qingjiu in Biyilou two days ago.
He suddenly noticed something and reached for a small bottle at his waist. He endured the pain that was about to make his head burst, tremblingly and with difficulty, he took out a pill from the bottle and swallowed it.
Gradually, the sound of the drums faded until it disappeared. Yun Musheng's head no longer hurt like before, but the fairyland he had seen in the past few days no longer existed.
There are no flying dragons and colorful phoenixes around, no wine ponds and meat forests, and no gods flying in the clouds and mist. Some are just piles of ruins, with mosquitoes, snakes, and rats popping up from time to time.
Looking at the people inside again, they were all skinny, but their clothes were still so fat. It seemed that they were once just like the people outside the fortress, with a big belly.
What worried Yun Musheng the most was the bright red liquid in the cups in their hands, which looked like blood. Thinking that he had drank this kind of thing in the illusion just now, a feeling of nausea came over him. heart.
Suddenly, a group of women wearing colorful ribbons came from the doorway on the side. Yun Musheng turned around and looked, and was so frightened that she almost reached out to draw her sword.
Those fairies with fluttering colorful satin in front of me are clearly a bunch of poisoned living dead medicine men! No wonder Yun Musheng always felt that their hands and feet were cold. It turned out that these were not living creatures at all.
I saw that each of their eyes had been gouged out, and their skin was covered with corpse spots, even ulcerated in some places. At this time, a medicine man in red came forward.
Yun Musheng was just about to escape, but suddenly remembered that if someone discovered that he had escaped from the illusion, he would be unable to escape, so he endured the nauseating feeling that he was about to vomit and allowed the medicine man to be near him.
Fortunately, these medicine men seemed to have been soaked in aromatherapy, covering up the body odor, otherwise Yun Musheng would never be able to bear it no matter what.
What's even more tragic is that when he fell into confusion, he actually regarded such filth as Qiu Mingming, which was really the biggest sin of his life.
The antidote given by Miss Lu was only effective for three hours. While she was awake, Yun Musheng cooperated with the group of medicine men in acting while searching for the specific locations of the control gates and whirlpool mechanisms around the island.
In this way, Yun Musheng wandered around the entire fortress while wandering with the medicine man. The interior of the fortress was surprisingly large. He walked around over and over again, constantly recording and imagining the internal structure of the fortress in his mind, and wandered for two consecutive days. It took more than an hour to record the entire interior of the fortress.
Although he was exhausted at this time, Yun Musheng knew that every minute and every second at this time determined the life and death of countless people.
He finally got rid of the medicine man and came to a secret door. There was an iron lock on the secret door. It seemed that a key was needed to open it. At this time, there was no time for him to find the key. Yun Musheng looked around. There was no one around, so he pulled out the long sword from his waist, concentrated on his luck, and merged his sword into one. He drew his sword and cut off the iron lock with one strike.
He opened the secret door and got in. He climbed down the ladder for an unknown amount of time before he touched the ground. Although the passage was narrow, the underground was extremely open. Countless gears rotated to drive the sea water. This must be where it was. The place where the whirlpool is formed.
Yun Musheng couldn't help but sigh that the Hidden Sun Pavilion had put in a lot of effort when building defenses for the legendary Hidden Sun Treasury.
As he walked, he saw four columnar handles tilting in the same direction. They must be the switches of the whirlpool. Suddenly, several people walked towards this place. They seemed to be guards guarding the place.
Yun Musheng hurriedly found a hidden place to hide. While he was wary of the guards, he continued to look around. But strangely, after looking for a long time, he only found the switch of the whirlpool, but not the switch of the door. .
Suddenly there was a loud noise, and one of the guards was turning one of the handles. Several huge gears were seen sinking into the sea from above, revealing the view across the sea.
Yun Musheng looked up and saw that the structure of the environment on the opposite side was very similar to this one. There were also four handles leaning on one side. They must be the switches of the door, but there was a very wide distance between them. There is no way to get past here.
Yun Musheng closed his eyes and tried hard to recall all the places he had recorded in his mind during the past two hours. Coupled with his impression of the outside of the entire fortress before entering the fortress, he suddenly discovered that from a structural point of view, the fortress was divided in the middle. Both sides of the building are symmetrically constructed, both externally and internally.
Then to get to the operating platform on the opposite side, you must pass through the secret door in another part of the fortress.
Calculating that time was almost up and the medicine was still effective for less than half an hour, Yun Musheng hurriedly returned to the upper level while the guards were leaving.
"Quick! Fast! Faster! We must give the information to Mo Mo and Shopkeeper Du!" He muttered in his heart, but his body could not let go and run.
In the Qianji Pavilion of Yanyu Tower, he had seen a scroll mentioning that there were seven ghosts in the Hidden Sun Pavilion, and this seventh ghost was called a corpse exorcist. Although his martial arts was not very high, his ability to exorcise corpses with one hand was quite impressive. It provides a lot of convenience for the Hidden Sun Pavilion.
Those corpses are controlled by the poison in their bodies, and they will become violent and manic once they lose control. If clues are discovered and cause a commotion, then all previous efforts will be wasted.
Yun Musheng finally deceived the group of medicine men in fairy clothes, arrived at the south gate, and ran out while no one was paying attention.
Seeing the light just ahead, I heard the sound of drums in my ears.
"No, the time for the antidote is about to pass, so we have to hurry up!"
Exhausted, Yun Musheng stumbled and ran out desperately, as if bugs were beginning to bite her flesh.
After finally running to the entrance of the fortress, he could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
"Hey, look, Cannon, isn't this the kid that Mr. Lu is interested in?"
"Hey, it's really Ergou. Fortunately, Manager Lu asked us to stay here."
The two of them hurried forward and helped Yun Musheng up, but Yun Musheng opened it up, then grabbed Li Dapao's collar tightly, and said tremblingly with the last shred of reason held up by his will:
"The fortress is symmetrical from the south gate. After entering the door and walking four rooms to the left, there is a secret door at a corner, which leads to the whirlpool mechanism. The gate mechanism is on the opposite side... Uh-huh... I can't stand it anymore... Uh-huh. Ah...ahhhhhhhhhhh."
"My dear brother, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
After Yun Musheng finished speaking, his last bit of sanity was swallowed up by the flower poison. He threw Zhang Ergou and Li Dapao away with all his strength, then turned around and ran towards the depths of the fortress.
The sound of drums rang in her ears, and it was as if the insects had penetrated into her skin. It wasn't until she entered the door that a familiar fragrance hit her, which made Yun Musheng refreshing, as if she had returned to that fairyland again.
