Qiuqiu took the time to scan the queen's house and investigated it like a sweeping floor. She included the medicines that the queen took, books she usually read, places where things might be hidden in the bedroom, and she picked out all the suspicious things.
.For example, medicines that can be eaten.
During this process, Huo'er helped her a lot - or this little guy just sucked in the water, with no big moves, and constant small moves. Qiuqiu sometimes checked a bunch of things and then looked at the next batch.
I always feel something is wrong. Looking back, the pile of things seemed to have not changed much. Looking at Huo'er, this guy shook his head and tail at her with an innocent look on his face.
At this time, people didn’t know the word cute, Qiuqiu thought, but some people learned the word cute without a teacher.
But Huo'er doesn't know a word? He is both a traitor or a thief. It's fine, why are you trying to be cute and unfinished to her? This is a shiny thing that is covering up the guilty and whitewashing the peace!
Huo'er is still not doing well enough.
Just like a three-year-old child, if you are afraid that he will steal food, he will spread his palms to you: Look, I didn't steal food. But there are still rice grains on the corner of your mouth, so you have to pretend.
Should I wipe my mouth clean?
But because Huo'er has made contributions just now, Qiuqiu cannot seriously care about it. Raising a spirit pet is really like raising a child. Sometimes you need to turn a blind eye.
It was the Dabai and the other two. When Qiuqiu just collected them as spiritual pets, they secretly went to the master's senior sister's medicine garden to eat. Qiuqiu sometimes had to pretend not to see it.
There was no big harvest. Qiuqiu took a few pills from each of the bottles to see the properties of the medicine. There was indeed a little problem with one medicine, but it was not a big problem. Although the queen had no husband, Qiuqiu witnessed it with her own eyes
She has a lover, so it is normal for her to have some medicine to add excitement.
However, Huo'er brought a small box to Qiuqiu from the corner of the queen's dark room.
"What is this?"
Qiuqiu picked up the box and saw it. It was a copper box, but one palm was long and half a palm wide, and it didn't look strange. There was a lock hanging on the box.
Qiuqiu glanced at Huoer. Huoer pushed the box with his head again.
"Do you want something inside?"
Qiuqiu felt that it wanted to help open the box.
Although there is a lock hanging on it, it is not a difficult task for Qiuqiu.
She touched the small lock, hooked her nails and pulled it gently, and the lock bounced open with a clatter.
What surprised Qiuqiu was that there was still a box in the box.
This box is smaller than the one outside, and there is no gap on it. I just can't find a place to open it.
"What's this?"
Qiuqiu was on guard and did not hurry to do it, and put a barrier on the box.
She said this as if she was talking to herself. Even if Huo'er knew what was inside, she couldn't tell her.
There are not many pearls and treasures here, but none of them are as tightly packaged as this one.
If it is a very important thing, why put it aside casually? If it is an unimportant thing, how can it be so tightly?
Such a box is definitely not something that ordinary craftsmen can do. It must be the kind of ingenious skills. Only craftsmen at the level of master have such skills.
The box was not heavy. Qiuqiu used his spiritual power to investigate and found that the things inside should not be metal, but if there were more, they would not be able to detect them.
Of course there is another way, which is to split the box directly with a sword.
But doing this is risky. Generally, the boxes of such mechanisms are for the purpose of containing some hidden things that are known to the public. If they are violently demolished, it is very likely that the mechanisms inside the box will destroy the things, making people in vain.
After Qiuqiu tried to open the box, he simply put it away.
The incense burned in the hall may have a calming effect. The heat of the charcoal-fire kang scents the fragrance, and the doors and windows are closed, making people feel stuffy.
Huo'er seemed a little impatient.
"I'm so bored? Let's go outside and get some breath."
Qiuqiu sat on the roof of the palace with Huoer. The night wind blew on his face, dispelling all the boredom just now. The wind carried a choking breath of smoke, and fires could be seen vaguely in the capital.
There is no moon in the sky, and the clouds are heavy.
Huo'er's head turned east and did not move for a long time, as if he was dazed and dazed.
"What's wrong?"
It was pitch dark at night and Qiuqiu could not see anything.
Huo'er's golden eyes shone slightly, and in the darkness, they looked like two small lanterns.
It suddenly jumped out.
Qiuqiu was slightly surprised and stood up.
Huo'er Xiang has a clear goal, jumping straight forward and moving forward quickly on the roof of the palace.
Is it going to look for?
From the time of the fire coming out of the shell, Qiuqiu has never seen it do such a thing or something.
Huo'er in front has already jumped out of the palace wall.
Qiuqiu turned around and looked at it, a little confused.
What exactly is Huoer going to do? It has never been to the capital. What is so attractive to it in the capital?
Qiuqiu hesitated slightly and immediately made up her mind. She blinked her fingers and put a signal. A stream of light that ordinary people could not capture quickly rose to the sky, and a silver star light burst out.
After only a few breaths apart, a ray of light rose not far away.
Since there was someone to take care of the queen, Qiuqiu felt relieved and went with Huo'er.
A slightly red light shone in Huo'er's body, and a winding arc of light was drawn in the darkness.
Qiuqiu followed it, not only leaving the palace, but also passing through most of the capital.
In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the wall of the outer city of the capital. Huoer jumped without hesitation and crossed the city tower lightly.
Huo'er kept moving forward until he stopped at the foot of the mountain.
Qiuqiu stopped and looked up.
This place is a hundred miles away from the capital.
This mountain is located on the east side of the capital. It was named Washan in the previous dynasty, but later it changed its dynasty, and many places were changed by the Xin dynasty. This Washan was also renamed Shanye Mountain, and a building was built on the mountain.
The Buddhist temple, also known as Yongping Temple. Qiuqiu also met an old Zen master from Yongping Temple two days ago.
Because there are Buddhist temples on this mountain, the imperial court has forbidden for people to hunt, cut down and take soil in this mountain. Therefore, the mountain is densely forested and birds and beasts live very freely.
The fire stopped, as if waiting for Qiuqiu to approach.
Qiuqiu reached out to it, and Huoer jumped to her palm.
"Why are you here?"
Huo'er's eyes showed an anxious and sad expression.
Qiuqiu felt a little nervous.
This little guy Huo'er has been afraid of being afraid since he was born. He even dared to be arrogant to the owner Shi'er. Qiuqiu had never seen it show such a look.
"Don't worry, what do you want to do?"
Huo'er turned her head and looked at the top of the mountain.
"You want to go up the mountain?"
Huo'er nodded vigorously.
Qiuqiu comforted it: "Then I will be with you."
If Huoer wants to go up the mountain, he doesn’t have to wait for Qiuqiu to go up the mountain.
If it can stop, it must be something it is concerned about.
Qiuqiu could vaguely feel that something was indeed there on this mountain.
With bloody smell, there is something else...
It makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Qiuqiu calmed down, suppressed the boredom in his chest, and continued to move forward.
She already knew what Huo'er was looking for.
It must be the one that makes her feel uncomfortable.
What is this?
The closer you get, the more obvious the feeling of irritation.
Such things have a strong sense of destruction. They seem to close their eyes. The boundless darkness will fall to her like a sea of rushing mountains and bury her completely. It is despair without a trace of vitality.
What exactly is on this mountain?
Suddenly something suddenly came in the darkness. Qiuqiu stopped, and the green light of Lishui Sword burst out like water droplets, cutting the shot arrow into two pieces.
More featherless arrows ejected from the darkness and hit the Lishui sword to form the sword. The tinging sound seemed like a sudden rain.
Qiuqiu picked up a small dark arrow.
It's not an iron arrow. It's the arrows and arrows are made of black wood and are highly poisonous. If an ordinary person gets a little bit of skin and sees blood, he will die immediately.
Who set up a formation here?
However, it seems that it is just a defense against ordinary people, and these things are of little use to cultivators.
Qiuqiu tripped over something, and she stopped and looked down.
It was a corpse.
Wearing a monk's robe, he has a ring scar on his bald head.
It's a monk.
Qiuqiu turned his head and looked in the direction of the mountain ahead.
Is it a monk from Yongping Temple?
It seems that many days have passed. Why did the old Zen master from Yongping Temple not mention the deaths in the temple when he saw them that day? Is he unaware of the situation, or does he feel that he doesn't want to disturb them with such trivial matters?
What if neither of the above reasons are?
Qiuqiu bypassed the corpses on the ground and continued to move forward.
The terrain here is not very high, and it is located in a recess that connects the foothills behind the front mountain.
The hidden arrow shot for a while and became scattered.
There were two traps underground, which were also surrounded by Qiuqiu.
There is a high platform made of gravel in front.
Qiuqiu raised her head and she arrived.
Suddenly, a black shadow shot out from behind the stone platform, and he collided with a sword towards Qiuqiu.
Qiuqiu's eyes narrowed slightly, Li Shui Jian spun a light arc, the room avoided the man's vital points, and swept the man's waist and neck with a heavy blow.
The man was stunned and fell out without even humming.
Several more people rushed out in the darkness, and these obstacles were not troublesome to Qiuqiu.
Someone walked out from behind the high platform and looked very old, his waist was hunched over and couldn't stand up. He coughed from time to time and stood there quietly watching Qiuqiu. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome.
