Tao Zang Xuan Zhi

These flowers are very strange. The grass leaves and stems are all as red as blood. The flowers and leaves are like ribbons, long and wide. They hang down to cover the roots and flowing water below. They cover the entire shoal in layers. Like pickles or moldy sea vegetables spread out in the shallows. The blood-red pool water flowed through this piece of foaming and rotting grass blades before flowing into the deep pool below. Dark red thin tubes emerge from the foaming red leaves, and among them bloom strange bright red flowers that look like claws and webs. Baiyao had never seen such flowers before, but he could not deny that these flowers were very charming, making people unable to take their eyes away and making them shudder for no reason at the same time. These people seemed to have the same feeling. The few people who were following Baiyao stopped when they came to this place and did not dare to get closer.

What's even worse is that these flowers and plants also exude a sour smell like the vomit of a drunk person. Baiyao covered his mouth and nose and walked a little higher, finally seeing the spring water that was not stained with blood red.

The water in the pool originally seeped down from the upper left mountain wall, forming a thin waterfall as wide as the wall. The water of the waterfall flows down, pours into the shallows where red strange grass grows, and finally merges into the deep pool.

Baiyao took out the silver needle and two or three pills, put them under the water and tried them. Seeing that there was no difference, he called a few people waiting at a distance, got some water-drawing vessels, and carried them to the crowd below..

Several people poured water to give to the crowd hiding in the corner below. Cheers of being reborn immediately came from the corner, and Baiyao took advantage of this stall and walked to the side.

The corner where the crowd was was actually less than one-third of the entire stone chamber. The entire stone chamber is not flat, but sloped from the upper right corner to the lower left corner.

There is an upward cave next to the platform where the mountain spring flows. It looks like a stone chamber dug through the mountain wall. There is a man covered in bruises lying at the entrance of the cave. It seems that he was beaten severely just a day or two ago. They were all covered in bruises and seemed to be seriously injured. Beyond that person, you can see that the slope inside is even steeper. It should be a spiral staircase.

"How are you?"Baiyao asked gently.

The man weakly raised his head and glanced at Baiyao. His face was bruised and swollen, and his head and face were covered with blood scabs or mud. There was no clean spot. Baiyao could hardly see. His face was unclear, but he could only vaguely tell that he was a man in his forties or fifties.

The man did not answer, but lay back lifelessly on the stairs.

Since the other party had no intention of asking for help, Baiyao did not force it."Can you? Borrow it. The man didn't even raise his head and replied feebly in a hoarse voice:"Don't waste your efforts. This road has been destroyed and there is no way out." Even if you go out, you will die."

Baiyao frowned. She naturally didn't believe it. She tiptoed, easily passed the collapsed man, and climbed the stairs in a few steps.

The man was still downstairs, and coldly taunted him:"I told you, you can't get out." It is better to accept the favor of the empress and live here for a while. If the empress is merciful, she might let us live."

Baiyao sneered in his heart, why did she use this"mother" to give gifts? The last"mother" who said she wanted to show mercy had been beaten to ashes by them long ago!

However, Baiyao understood after not taking two steps. Turning up the stairs , before the seventh or eighth step, the passage was completely blocked by the large and small gravels that collapsed from above. Looking at the cave wall, the stairs were not shallow, and it was impossible to dig them out.

Baiyao walked down in despair. Stairs. Goatee and a few people who had the courage to follow had already followed to the intersection.

The man seemed to have a bad relationship with a few people, so he gave way, leaned against the wall, and said angrily:"I'll just say it, can not go out."Someone among those people seemed to have a bad temper. When the man said this, he planned to punch him. The man quickly shrank, holding his head and retreated to the corner.

Baiyao walked down the stairs while thinking, and asked:" Is this where you came in?"

A few people looked at each other and said in embarrassment:"……I don’t remember. We were so dizzy at the time that we only remembered to prepare for the banquet and couldn’t remember anything else."

"Seems to be." Goatee said,"Although I was groggy at that time, I really can't remember... I remember hearing someone singing. It was a singing style that was not found around here. It was very nice... Then there was a woman, that woman She is very beautiful, like a fairy. She helped a few of us untie the ropes from our feet, then asked us to untie each other and let us follow her. I don’t know what happened at the time, but she asked us to untie the ropes on our feet, so we did it; if she didn’t let us untie the ropes on our hands, we wouldn’t untie them; many people were still unconscious, with no eyesight. He opened it, but he was very obedient and had no other ideas at all. Later, after the woman let us in, I passed out again."

"That woman is so beautiful. I have never seen a woman with such a beautiful face and such a sweet voice."

"Forget it! That woman is so unusual, she must not be alive! She tricked us into this just because she wanted us to die! Female ghost! It must be a female ghost!"

"It’s the Jade Empress! I have seen the Jade Empress in her lifetime! she,! She looks exactly like the Jade Empress! So does the sound! Baiyao stopped some of the confused and crazy people and asked,"So, the woman collapsed this passage?""

A few people looked at each other and shook their heads.

One person pointed at the man hiding in the corner and said:"Ask him, ask this colorful man, he was not with us at that time! He should know!"

The man made a sound, and his body shrank even smaller, almost as if it was embedded in the wall, but he still yelled unmercifully:"You idiots, what's wrong with that 'banquet waiter'? That's a good thing! ? If the Jade Empress hadn't saved you, you would have become ghosts long ago! babble!"Someone raised his leg angrily and kicked the man. The man screamed like a turtle and rolled down the steps.

Although Baiyao didn't like this man pretending to be a ghost, he was an injured person after all, and he seemed to really know something.. She stopped those who wanted to hit people, squatted down, and asked patiently:"Did you see it?"

The man moved his hand and carefully glanced at Baiyao from between his arms. Seeing that those people valued the girl's opinion and that the girl really had no intention of harming him, he said mysteriously:"It's not Jade. empress"

"You just said it belonged to Lady Jade……"

The man stared fiercely at the person who refuted him, and said word for word:"The person who smashed the passage was not the Jade Lady! It was the Ghost Boss!"

"Ghost boss?"Baiyao repeated the word.

The man nodded solemnly and said through gritted teeth:"Yes, that's the owner of the ghost house! He is not some immortal! He is a man-eating evil spirit!"
