Chapter 33: Give him hope
“Can’t do it?”
Fu Qingzhou blinked.
Hua Xiaolan pursed her lips and couldn't tell what her expression was like: "You are right. After the master left, Elder Ma became the most powerful person in the mountain. If he found that he could not let go If Long DaBei is released, there will definitely be a terrible counterattack, and we will have no power to fight back."
Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows: "Did he release Long DaBei and you have a chance?"
Hua Xiaolan smiled bitterly and said: "Aren't you asking why an ordinary brass key and a simple small lock can render everyone powerless?"
"The answer is very simple...because the lock stone has , there is a fierce blood curse left by the master."
"When the key and lock are combined and the lock stone is unscrewed, the fierce blood curse will swallow up the flesh and blood of the person who opens the lock. Even if the gods come here, they will have to explain most of it. Life... And if anyone tries to forcefully pick the lock, the Lixue Curse will kill him directly."
She murmured: "Whether it is Elder Ma or Elder Ma, if they really release Long Dabei. , his cultivation will be greatly damaged and his realm will fall. Long Dabei has been tortured in the cave for thirty years, and he is unable to resist. Only then did we have a chance... But now?"
Fu Qingzhou blinked? Blinking: "No, if there is such a thing, why don't the elders and others just send someone else to open the lock? Why do they have to do it themselves?"
"Because they don't know."
Hua Xiaolan said softly: "They only know that there is a blood curse on the lock and they cannot force the lock to be opened. This is why the elders turned back immediately when they found out that the lock could not be opened, but They don't know that even if they open the lock normally..."
"I understand." Fu Qingzhou suddenly realized: "How dare you leave such an important matter to others? Even if I didn't intervene in this matter before, Meng Zhugang didn't. After stealing the key, the elders and the others will definitely take the key and unlock it themselves."
Hua Xiaolan nodded slowly.
“But now...”
She said helplessly: "You have worn out the key. They can no longer open the lock no matter what, and they will no longer place their hope on Long Dabei. What awaits Wandu Mountain next will only be a full divorce..."
"What's this?" Fu Qingzhou smiled: "It's a small question, let's go to Youzhu Cave."
Hua Xiaolan was stunned: "Huh?"
" Oh what." This time it was Fu Qingzhou who reached out and grabbed her wrist: "I have a way, believe me."
The two of them ran towards a deep bamboo forest behind the village.
"You kid..."
During the silent running, the smoker's lazy voice rang in Fu Qingzhou's mind: "You are not attracted to this girl, are you?"
"Shit "Fu Qingzhou responded angrily: "Do you think I am the stallion protagonist in the ancient harem novels?"
"What a mess."
The smoker laughed dryly: "But. I know that your current state cannot be to break the curse. In such a chaotic and dangerous situation, you should have run away long ago with your cautious character."
Fu Qingzhou said calmly: "You are right. I am not only trying to break the curse, but also helping her... But of course it is not because I like her. I just want to help."
The smoker clicked his tongue: "Isn't it because of the 'why are you fighting' that you asked before? Are there demons outside the Hundred Thousand Mountains? Because they resist the demons, you have to help them?"
" I’m afraid people like you won’t understand.”
Fu Qingzhou smiled: “But it doesn’t matter, I won’t explain it to you.”
“Ungrateful!” Said: "That old boy wanted to kill you before, but I helped you stop it!"
"I know." Fu Qingzhou said calmly: "Isn't it because I reacted quickly and blocked the jade sign in front?"
"What the hell..."
The smoker still wants to curse. , but finally shut up.
Because corpses began to appear in the bamboo forest path in front of Fu Qingzhou and Hua Xiaolan.
The two stopped running - of course these corpses were all Miao people. They looked to be in their twenties at most. Their death appearance was not miserable, and there were no even visible fatal wounds. After getting closer and looking through the moonlight, you can see that each of them has a look of shock on their faces, as if they were still alive.
"They died very quickly."
Fu Qingzhou immediately came to the conclusion: "There are no external injuries on the body, and it does not look like poisoning..."
< br>"It's a curse." Hua Xiaolan lowered her head: "Elder Ma's curse... did he even start killing people?"
Fu Qingzhou shook his head: "Once the war starts, it will only be you and me."
The two continued to go deeper into the bamboo forest, and there were more and more corpses on the road. But at the same time, some disgusting traces of pus and blood began to appear on the ground, and many snakes, insects, rats and ants surrounded them and licked them.
“It seems that Elder Ma picked up the elder, and the two of them went into the forest together.”
Fu Qingzhou judged: “The elder is obviously not going to survive, at least we don’t need to meet him at the same time. To the two elders...by the way, did your master put any kind of poison on Elder Ma?"
Hua Xiaolan shook her head, the silver tassels on her head rustled: "Master has always respected Elder Ma very much, even we do. I didn’t know until more than half a month ago that he was in the same group as the elder..."
This bamboo forest is not far from the village of Wandu Mountain, but as you go deeper and deeper, it seems that you are gradually entering along the gradually lowering terrain. In a valley.
Slowly, the front of the bamboo forest opened up, and a towering mountain peak loomed across our eyes.
At the bottom of the mountain is a huge cave, much larger than the previous cave in Qianwu Tower. The traces of artificial excavation are obvious. At first glance, it is dark and dark, and it is very eerie.
A group of young Miao people died outside the cave, which made Hua Xiaolan’s eyes well up with mist.
"Is this here?" Fu Qingzhou asked softly.
Hua Xiaolan nodded slightly: "Yes."
"They are probably already trying to unlock it now..." Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes, turned his head and whispered: "Do you have a way to send a message and ask your people to come to the rescue as soon as possible?"
Hua Xiaolan however He nodded and said: "I already sent a message when I saw the first corpse. They were on their way."
Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows - he didn't notice this at all.
But that doesn’t matter. People’s methods of controlling poisonous insects are ever-changing. How could I see everything?
“Very good.”
He said quietly: "It seems that we need to find a way to hold them back for a while."
"With your jade card..." Hua Xiaolan blinked and said: "Can we do it?"
Fu Qingzhou lowered his head and glanced at the jade plaque in his hand, noncommittal: "It's hard to say... Anyway, you will act with me first. Aren't you worried that Elder Ma will go berserk after losing hope? Then let's give him hope. "
"Play..."
Hua Xiaolan looked strange: "How to play?"
"Pretend to be dead first." Fu Qingzhou blinked hard.
The evening breeze ruffles the bamboo forest, and the bamboo leaves flutter lightly.
Under the night, Fu Qingzhou walked out of the forest and slowly walked towards Youzhu Cave.
He grabbed one of Hua Xiaolan's ankles with one hand and dragged her to the ground. Hua Xiaolan's eyes were closed and she remained motionless, as if she had died.
"Elder Ma?"
Fu Qingzhou laughed loudly and said: "Do you want to be the sect leader? Do you want to control the Ten Thousand Poison Mountains? There is no need to rush to release Long Dabei, we can talk - the court will not necessarily force you to resist the evil spirit."
