Chapter 30: Shura field preparation
Duan Feibai took out a thin-necked celadon bottle from his bosom, uncorked the bottle, poured out a pill, and stuffed it into Tao Jingyi's mouth.
Then, he put Tao Jingyi back on the ground, got up and lit all the torches on the wall with a torch.
After doing all this, he snapped his fingers to unlock Feng Linzhi's acupuncture points.
After Feng Linzhi opened his eyes, Duan Feibai's figure had already submerged into the other end of the secret passage.
Feng Linzhi was seriously injured, and his breath was full of blood. He took a few heavy breaths to calm down the churning blood in his chest. After a while, he walked slowly to the bottom of the entrance, jumped up, pressed his hands against the broken pillar pressing on the exit, and shook it vigorously.
The broken column did not move at all.
Feng Linzhi exhausted his energy and had to fall back to the ground. He glanced at the unconscious Tao Jingyi, walked towards her, squatted beside her, and said softly, "Girl, wake up, wake up—"
Tao Jingyi heard someone calling her in her sleep, and she struggled to wake up with a pair of foggy eyes.
"Where are we?" She didn't understand the situation for a while, and her mind was a mess.
"In the secret passage of the Skull Palace."
Tao Jingyi supported his head and sat up, finally remembering what happened. She was shocked, she did not expect that it was Yu Sangqing who saved her.
"Ms. Qing, she..." After all, it was Yu Sangqing who saved her, Tao Jingyi couldn't help asking.
"She's already in bad luck." Feng Linzhi's face was indifferent, it couldn't be said that it was sad or anxious. What he said was "more bad luck than good luck", but both of them understood that, judging from the battle situation just now, Yu Sangqing who stayed on top would undoubtedly die.
Besides, she wasn't going to live long.
Tao Jingyi always thought that Feng Linzhi valued Yu Sangqing, but judging from his expression, it seemed that this was not the case. Maybe some people's sadness would not show on the surface.
Tao Jingyi looked at the exit above his head, obviously, it was impossible to get out from here.
"Do you know how to get to the Skull Palace?"
Feng Linzhi nodded. Yu Sangqing once brought him in when he was young, and his memory is a little fuzzy. If he walks around again, he can probably remember a little bit.
"Let's go out first," Tao Jingyi said.
Feng Linzhi stood up and turned his back to her: "Follow me."
Tao Jingyi followed behind him.
Walking along the dark passage, turning a corner, a huge palace appeared in the eyes of the two of them. There are countless treasures displayed in the hall, and under the illumination of candlelight, these treasures burst into strange splendor.
But neither of the two has the heart to pay attention to these treasures. What they need most now is medicine. Feng Linzhi walked to a row of cabinets in front of the hall, and opened one of the hidden compartments.
He was seriously injured, and every time he took a step, he dragged a step of blood behind him. Fortunately, as in memory, there are commonly used medicines in the dark cell.
He took all those bottles and jars out of the secret compartment.
"Girl, come here." He waved to Tao Jingyi.
Tao Jingyi moved closer to him.
Feng Linzhi said: "I came here when I was seven years old. At that time, I saw Master put all the medicines here. After so many years, I don't know if these medicines can still be used."
Tao Jingyi uncorked the bottle and sniffed it: "It's spotless here, and it's obvious that someone cleans it from time to time. I guess, since these medicines are spare, someone must replace them in time."
Feng Linzhi smiled and said, "That makes sense." He stuffed the medicine bottle in Tao Jingyi's hand, "This bottle is for you."
Tao Jingyi shook her head, "I'm not injured." She picked up her clothes and spun them around, "Don't look at me covered in blood, it's actually someone else's."
Feng Linzhi took a close look at it carefully for a while: "It really belongs to someone else."
"Go and sit down there, and I'll give you the medicine." Tao Jingyi took the medicine bottle from his hand, and pointed in the direction of the stone steps in front of the hall.
Feng Linzhi sat down on the stone steps, and Tao Jingyi sat beside him. Feng Linzhi's body was covered with sword wounds and some burns, his clothes were full of blood and cracks, and he could no longer wear them. Tao Jingyi simply took out the dagger and cut open the clothes.
The body under the clothes was covered with traces of swords, and the flesh at the wound was rolled outward, glowing scarlet.
Tao Jingyi found a silver basin in the hall, cut a piece of cloth from the curtain, fetched a basin of clean water, and washed his wound.
Feng Linzhi opened his clothes and sat in front of the stone steps, looking at her busy figure, his heart warmed.
His clothes could no longer be worn. After Tao Jingyi applied the medicine for him, he dug out some new clothes in the hall. There are men's and women's clothes to choose from. Tao Jingyi hesitated for a while, then took a men's cyan robe and handed it to Feng Linzhi.
Feng Linzhi didn't say anything, picked up the clothes and put them on his body. Tao Jingyi stretched out his hand to tie his belt, and just tied the knot when he suddenly fell into his arms.
Feng Linzhi was stunned for a moment, hugged her, and was shocked to feel that the skin under his tentacles was burning hot.
He secretly annoyed himself for being careless and ignoring her. Her cheeks were flushed, and her breath was filled with scorching heat, which was already very abnormal.
He didn't care about touching the wound, and quickly picked him up and placed him on the soft couch in the hall. He picked up the silver basin she had put down just now, filled a basin of clear water, soaked it with a cloth towel, wrung it dry, and applied it to her forehead.
After doing all this, he returned to the secret compartment, searched inside, and found a jar of medicine. He mixed the medicine powder with clear water, helped Tao Jingyi up, and fed her to drink.
After tossing and tossing for a long time, Tao Jingyi broke out in a sweat, and finally subsided the heat from his body.
When Tao Jingyi was sweating, Feng Linzhi sat beside her, holding a cloth towel to help her wipe the sweat off her forehead.
When Tao Jingyi woke up, Feng Linzhi was so tired that he fell asleep lying beside her bed. Tao Jingyi sat up quietly, and just moved under the bed when the wind stopped and woke up.
He rubbed his eyes, looked at Tao Jingyi, and asked, "Girl, do you still feel uncomfortable?"
Tao Jingyi shook his head, then frowned: "But I'm hungry."
Feng Linzhi stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat delicious food."
Naturally, there is no food prepared in the Skullland Palace.
The two walked along the secret passage to the exit. After all, they came here when they were young, and most of their memories have been blurred. The two took several detours before they found the real exit.
It was already midnight when Tao Jingyi and Feng Linzhi walked out of the Skullland Palace.
A round of bright and quiet moon hangs in the sky, and the entire Flower God Sect is silent.
Feng Linzhi was wearing a man's long robe, and his hair was in a man's bun. He removed the disguise in front of Tao Jingyi, exposing his Adam's apple. It was only then that Tao Jingyi understood why Feng Linzhi said at the time that if she saw him take off his disguise, she would definitely recognize him at a glance.
Feng Linzhi's facial features did not change much after removing his disguise, but his temperament suddenly changed from a feminine softness to a masculine toughness. He is tall and tall, with long black hair tied behind his head, wearing this green dress, he looks a bit coquettish.
"Why, are you dumbfounded?" Feng Linzhi couldn't help reaching out and flicking her forehead.
Tao Jingyi covered his forehead and said angrily, "I'm surprised! Surprised! You are indeed handsome, but you are still far behind my brother Feibai."
Seeing his smug look, she couldn't help but hit him.
"But your brother Fei Bai hasn't come to save you until now." Feng Linzhi also hit her hard.
Tao Jingyi snorted, "It would be better if he didn't come."
"What's good?" Feng Linzhi was curious.
"I want to know, I won't tell you." Tao Jingyi made a face at him and turned his head away.
There was a sudden grunt, grunt, and both of them were taken aback. Tao Jingyi immediately covered his stomach and shook his head: "It's not me."
Feng Linzhi looked complicated, and said, "It's me."
Tao Jingyi couldn't hold back, he laughed. Feng Linzhi immediately put his finger to his lips, made a gesture of silence, and said in a low voice: "Something is wrong."
Tao Jingyi also sensed that something was wrong. Logically speaking, she and Feng Linzhi fled and should have been hunted down, but they walked all the way without seeing even a single person.
"Something happened." Feng Linzhi said solemnly.
The two walked all the way to the main peak, and when they reached the top of the mountain, they saw the fire in front of them, crowds of people gathered, and a row of archers lined up in an orderly manner, aiming at the palace with the closed gate.
Feng Linzhi's expression changed drastically, and he quickly dragged Tao Jingyi to hide in the vegetation beside him.
The people in front were male and female, with different costumes, obviously not members of the Flora Sect.
Tao Jingyi leaned forward, looked around the crowd, and found a few familiar figures. The two sisters Duan Feibai, Su Xingchen and Zhong Lingyuxiu, it seems that people from the whole martial arts righteousness have come.
She suddenly remembered that according to the plot, it should be the scene in the original book where Wulin Zhengdao attacked the Flower God Sect. It was also in this scene that Duan Feibai's other identity, Mr. Ghost, made a splendid debut. As soon as he appeared on the stage, he tried his best to turn the tide, repelled all schools and sects of the martial arts, and regained the Flower God Sect. Even Feng Lingzhi, the saint of the Flower God Sect, looked at him differently and secretly agreed with him.
Tao Jingyi couldn't help but glanced at Feng Linzhi beside him, why did he feel that this "secret promise" was a bit shocking.
Feng Linzhi felt a strange gaze cast on his cheek, raised his head, and saw Tao Jingyi's expression twitching slightly, as if he was thinking about something weird.
Feng Linzhi couldn't help reaching out his hand and pressing her head down.
"Hush." Tao Jingyi was about to explode, he quickly raised his finger to signal her not to disturb others.
Tao Jingyi bared his teeth at him, and continued to recall the plot in the original book. In the original book, when Mr. Gui appeared, Duan Feibai was also there, but that "Duan Feibai" was Duan Feibai's substitute, that is to say, the one standing next to Su Xingchen was a fake Duan Feibai.
This fake Duan Feibai, whose real name is Heron, is Duan Feibai's most loyal younger brother in the original book. After Duan Feibai killed himself at the top of Tianshan Mountain, he also followed him. He was really loyal.
Taking advantage of the civil strife in the Flower God Sect, the major sects invaded the Flower God Sect and captured many people. Since the Flower God Sect is full of poisons, and the outside of the Hanguang Hall is covered with poisons, these people can't attack for a while, and the two sides form a confrontation.
With an order, the archers were in place, and countless arrows were shot towards the Hanguang Hall. After a while, the front of the hall was filled with arrows. Those poisons seemed to be inexhaustible, one batch died, and another batch was replenished.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
"Bring it!" Su Xingchen angrily snatched a bow and arrow from the bow and arrow, bent the bow and drew the string, and suddenly there was a "swoosh", the sharp arrow pierced the sky and pierced through the palace gate.
"Sensible ones, quickly come out and surrender." Su Xingchen threw away his bow and arrow, and shouted loudly.
"Young Master Su, why don't we attack with fire." Someone suggested.
With a "slap", it was Su Xingchen who slapped that person on the face. Su Xingchen showed a ferocious expression, and gritted his teeth and said, "You bastard, my sister is still inside, do you want to kill her!"
He suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist, the sharp blade reflected the cold moonlight and his cold eyes: "Whoever dares to attack with fire, I will be the first to kill him."
The status of Red Maple Villa in Jianghu cannot be underestimated. Su Xingchen is the representative of Red Maple Villa this time. Since he has spoken, even if he is dissatisfied, he only dares to slander him secretly, and dare not confront him head-on. Although he comes from a famous and decent family, he is a real little devil.
