Almighty Blessing Pack: Traveling through troubled times with a microscope

Chapter 137

The flames of the alchemy furnace were billowing, unbearably hot.From time to time, lava burst out, making a thrilling sound.As most people know, once the furnace is turned on, no grass will grow.Even if the hardest sword falls into this furnace, it will definitely turn into molten iron and disappear without a trace.

A slender woman was rolling in the alchemy furnace.Ruyu's skin was not damaged at all, only because a piece of dragon scale turned into an ice cocoon, wrapping her layer by layer.

Tao Qianchi has lost consciousness.She only remembered Long Mo's hateful expression when she was thrown into the alchemy furnace.She once felt ecstatic about falling in love with a man who shook the world.Now, this scorching temperature and heart-burning betrayal made her hate him to the core.

The dragon scales slowly retracted, and Tao Qianchi was roasted and melted by the lava, leaving only a strand of soul as thin as silk.

***
nunnery.

Master Li Shang was kneeling in front of the hall, and the rosary in his hand slid rhythmically with the beating of the wooden fish.She has faded away from the splendor of the royal family and is dressed in plain robes, but she is already content.

Jin Xiaoyan came in with a bowl of water and handed it to Li Shang respectfully.The sliding sleeves revealed a birthmark on the wrist that looked like a dragon scale.

The sun, moon and stars are hidden between the eyebrows, and the eyes are clear without a trace of turbidity.Jin Xiaoyan is Li Shang's disciple and grew up in a nunnery.He has been very intelligent since he was a child, and has a very high talent for medical skills.

Li Shang didn't take the water, still closed his eyes and slid the rosary, the peach blossom fragrance from Jin Xiaoyan's body slowly wafted, making Li Shang's obsession for revenge even deeper.

Among Li Shang's 33 disciples, only Jin Xiaoyan can do it well.Now Jin Xiaoyan is also 16 years old, Li Shang thought in his heart, it is time for her to replace him and destroy this dynasty.

The wooden fish lost its rhythm, and the rope of the rosary broke with a snap, and the beads rolled to the ground.Li Shang has been here for 20 years, forcing himself to meditate every day, but it only makes the hatred in his heart more intense.

There was a sudden noise outside the door, followed by chaotic footsteps and horseshoes.Three or two disciples ran in in panic, saying that dozens of men dressed in animal skins had come outside the door.

Jin Xiaoyan and all his disciples hadn't stepped out of the door when the group of people rushed in. The bloody animal skin was shocking. Jin Xiaoyan took a closer look and found that this group of people were injured.The blood stained on the animal skin made people shudder.

The man at the head, even if he disguised himself again, Jin Xiaoyan recognized him at a glance. He was Tie Rong, the bandit leader wanted by the court.He was wanted by the court just because he intercepted the official money to help the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

In this great dynasty right now, no one would want to take his life.With a reward of 9 taels, who can't be tempted?

***
There are not many herbs left in the nunnery, but this is still outside the wilderness. To collect herbs, one has to go over mountains and ridges to the Valley of Lost Souls.Tie Rong was seriously injured, with more than a dozen arrows pierced into his body. On the top of the arrow feathers, the name of the nine princes of the court was engraved - Zimo Yulinwei.

Jin Xiaoyan had heard of this name before.Among the many princes, Qiu Zimo is quite intelligent.The cruelty is just right, and many talented people under his command are willing to be his followers.

It's just that he has never been interested in government affairs. Why did he bring people here this time, and use such an extreme method to kill Tie Rong?
The Iron Armored Cottage, which was originally huge, has now been burned to [-]% by the flames of war.The only dozens of single seedlings left are the seriously injured people lying around Jin Xiaoyan.

It's not wrong to rob the rich and give to the poor, it's just because they messed with the wrong people.The batch of official silver that Tie Rong robbed was the ill-gotten wealth of the third prince Qiu Ziyue.The third prince has been secretly wooing soldiers, horses and treasures. Everyone knows his ambition, but for some reason, the master in the palace has been reluctant to touch him. Is it because of the deep love between father and son, or because it is hard to say.

From Tie Rong's weak breath and other people's sad cries, Jin Xiaoyan learned that the Ninth Prince is now besieging them near Mihun Valley.Zimo Yu Forest Guard, with tens of thousands of horses and horses, is heading in this direction.

In this way, Jin Xiaoyan quickly thought of a way.With the footsteps of Habayashi Wei's sweaty horse, even if there is some delay in the middle, within an hour or two, he will definitely come to this nunnery.At that time, not to mention that these people's lives will not be saved, even the dozens of people in this temple will not be able to save their lives.

When he was in trouble, Li Shang walked in with a rosary.Seeing everyone saluting respectfully, Li Shang said slowly, she has her own way to stop tens of thousands of horses from this small nunnery.

Although Jin Xiaoyan was puzzled, she knew Li Shang's city well.She decided to go to Misty Valley first. If she could entangle them on the way, it would buy time for Tie Rong and his party to evacuate.

***
Mihun Valley is filled with smog. According to legend, 100 people walked in, but none of them returned.The mountain roads are intricate, and the rivers and streams are complicated. Once you enter the valley, you can't see the sun and you can't tell the direction at all.

It was the first time for the Ninth Prince to come here.Behind them were three generals and tens of thousands of Habayashi guards, riding tall horses, walking straight towards the opposite direction of Mihun Valley.Jin Xiaoyan listened to the sound of horseshoes all the way, and really found this mighty team.Seeing them circling around the Valley of Lost Souls, but never going in, Jin Xiaoyan had a plan in mind.

Tired from the march, the Ninth Prince got off his horse and sat under a tree with a group of officers and soldiers.It was cold and windy, and the snow from the previous few days had not yet melted.With such a bad weather, Zi Xun didn't know why the Ninth Prince had to come.

Before coming here, the Ninth Prince had explored the terrain here.Helplessly, I am really a road idiot, even if it is not easy to distinguish the direction, and take a detour, I don't know where I am.

Zixun was a little worried. There was a valley of enchanted souls nearby, and if he was not careful, he would be buried.There are tens of thousands of people in the Habayashi Guard, once they fall into it, the consequences will be disastrous.

Jin Xiaoyan came from a distance with a bamboo basket on his back, wearing a thin padded coat, and holding his own red pine rosary in his hand.The highly vigilant Habayashi Wei quickly stopped him, and Zi Xun looked at the Ninth Prince, and after signaling, he let Jin Xiaoyan approach.

With a face that was frozen red by the cold wind and a pair of clear eyes, the Ninth Prince was a little dazed, and then looked away.He asked in a flat tone, who is Jin Xiaoyan and why is he here alone.

Jin Xiaoyan put the herb basket behind him on the snow, shivering from cold all over, deliberately shivering, explaining his identity.

The Ninth Prince looked at the innocent Jin Xiaoyan, wondering if what she said was true or not.But once I saw her eyes, I couldn't look away.

Jin Xiaoyan also had a strange feeling.The birthmark of the dragon scale on the wrist, the closer it was to the Ninth Prince, the more painful it was, the pain was so painful that he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Li Shang once revealed the secret that the person who can make the birthmark on Jin Xiaoyan's wrist hurt is her evil partner.Therefore, even though Li Shang accepted her as an apprentice, he did not let her escape into Buddhism, and he did not let her chant sutras while holding a red pine rosary.

In the white sky, without any warning, heavy snow fell.The Ninth Prince was originally in poor health and coughed uncontrollably.Standing up with Zi Xun's support, he glanced at Jin Xiaoyan who was shivering from the cold, winked at Zi Xun, and put his velvet robe on Jin Xiaoyan.

Seeing that the Ninth Prince was about to continue walking, Jin Xiaoyan yelled, causing tens of thousands of Yulin guards to stop the cavalry.The Ninth Prince looked at Jin Xiaoyan, and the only way to find Tie Rong was to go through Mihun Valley.If this girl can really lead the army out, it will relieve herself of a serious worry.

And look at the red pine rosary in her hand, it is a person with pure six roots and will not have evil intentions.The Ninth Prince asked Zi Xun to lead Jin Xiaoyan and his mighty team straight into the Valley of Lost Souls on horseback.

Jin Xiaoyan led the army through the Valley of Lost Souls in a leisurely manner.At the beginning, Lu Zixun still had some impressions. As he walked deeper, there was a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere. No one knew how Jin Xiaoyan identified the direction, but she was very firm in guiding her every step.

The Ninth Prince could not tell the direction at all.On weekdays, I dare not walk around in the palace at will, for fear of going to a place I don't know, and asking the maid for directions, it is really embarrassing.

The snow stopped, the sky darkened, and the tall horses walked in the snow step by step. There were countless roads with no end in sight, which made people even more desperate.At this moment, Jin Xiaoyan has instead become the concern of this group of battle-tested men.Only she can lead them out of this place.

Although Jin Xiaoyan is not a person who cleans the door, he also knows that life is precious.Although she was influenced by Li Shang since she was a child and hated the people in the palace, she couldn't bear to let these people die in order to save Tie Rong and his party.

Every time he took a step, Jin Xiaoyan was thinking of a way, how to make them give up searching without hurting their lives?

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the Ninth Prince's panting was obviously much worse.Zi Xun kept urging, hoping to get out of the Valley of Lost Souls before it was completely dark.

Jin Xiaoyan had a plan in mind.If their master wasn't around, even if Habayashi Wei wanted to find Tie Rong, it would be useless.

Just one mile away from the exit, Jin Xiaoyan suddenly passed out and fell off his horse.Zi Xun got off the horse in a hurry, the Ninth Prince stepped forward to feel the pulse, the pulse was a little weak, his limbs were cold, it seemed that he was frozen.

The Ninth Prince took off his cloak, covered Jin Xiaoyan, picked Jin Xiaoyan up, and placed him on the hot hay that the soldiers were roasting.Accidentally touched her wrist, and at first glance, there was a birthmark of a dragon scale.

The only guide was unconscious, and the Ninth Prince had a premonition that he would be leaving soon. The sky was about to turn dark, and there was not even a place to hide in this huge Valley of Lost Souls.The officers and soldiers sat on the ground, huddled together to keep warm.

The lit bonfire looked very abrupt in the white mountain.The snow wolves smelled the prey's message, and ambush the surroundings lightly.The sharp fangs can't wait, the red mouth is already drooling, a big battle is imminent.

The Habayashi guards who were tortured by the cold wind hadn't noticed it yet.

Suddenly, the alpha wolf jumped and bit the horse's belly. There was a sharp pain, thousands of horses screamed miserably, and the whole valley was in chaos.

Zi Xun drew out his sword and firmly protected the Ninth Prince behind him.Three snow wolves came forward, stared at them covetously, leaped vertically, and bit Zi Xun's arm.

The Ninth Prince was about to draw his sword when he was hurriedly dragged away by Jin Xiaoyan, who pretended to be unconscious.Arriving at the nearby mountain peak, the Ninth Prince saw the scene below.There was blood everywhere, but it seemed that the pack of wolves didn't kill people or horses, but only added some flesh and blood injuries.

Jin Xiaoyan showed a smug smile.These wolves were raised by her from a young age, from little guys who are better than snow cats, to today they have become a pack of wolves that can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. They are well-trained, but they also respect any life, and more importantly, Jin Xiao Yan's order is their imperial decree.

The Ninth Prince drew out his cold sword and pressed it against Jin Xiaoyan's neck. Jin Xiaoyan stepped back coolly, and looked sideways at the Ninth Prince.

The sharp jaw was full of Shura's anger.The Ninth Prince is proficient in military skills, but he didn't expect to be severely slapped by this guy.He asked Jin Xiaoyan angrily why he was like this, Jin Xiaoyan only said that he was only allowed to disregard human lives, and the people were not allowed to ring the bell to redress their grievances?

The Ninth Prince realized that Tie Rong who had escaped was probably in the nunnery in front of the Misty Valley.That Tie Rong seemed to be robbing the rich and helping the poor, but in fact he used ruthless methods, whether he robbed the official bank, if it was just for money, the Ninth Prince would not be so aggressive.

But at that time, none of the soldiers who escorted the official silver was intact. Broken arms and legs were common, and even more cruel. The Ninth Prince was surprised when he marched for many years.Soldiers killed the enemy on the battlefield, even if they were in different camps, they did not need to be tortured like this.

Because it concerns the face of the royal family, the world only learned about Tie Rong's so-called "robbing the rich" from the gossip, but did not know the perverted murderous desire hidden behind this person.

Without waiting for the Ninth Prince to make a move, Jin Xiaoyan jumped off the cliff by himself without hesitation.The Ninth Prince was shocked, and went to take a closer look, only to see Jin Xiaoyan on a tree trunk protruding from a mountainside underground, waving his hands frightfully.

Vaguely still shouting, one mile ahead, you can go out.But now that there are no horses, and people are all injured, even if they leave the Valley of Lost Souls, it is definitely not feasible to go to the nunnery across the mountains.

Ninth Prince turned around and walked down the mountain, resentful that he believed this guy.He obviously has a red pine rosary in his hand, but he has no good intentions.Take a few steps.When he looked up, there were three roads in front of him.

Where did it come from just now?Ninth Prince recalled vigorously, but his mind was full of the scene where Jin Xiaoyan waved to him just now.

Backing back again, the Ninth Prince yelled down the mountain a few times.The voice in the valley reverberated surprisingly loudly, but the voice also came from all directions. For a while, Zi Xun couldn't tell where it came from, so he led people to the surrounding mountains to start searching.

It was already dark, and the Ninth Prince felt his heart beating faster. He had just walked a few steps, and accidentally fell into a dark hole.The thick snow fell head-on, and he originally wanted to go up, but the claustrophobic environment around him and the fear of the night made his claustrophobia attack.

He kept gasping for breath, and it was freezing cold, but he began to break out in a cold sweat.The Ninth Prince threw the sword out of the hole with all his strength, and then couldn't help but twitched non-stop.

***
When it was a child, Jin Xiaoyan returned to the nunnery.Tie Rong and his party left half an hour ago.Li Shang was in the main hall, touching the wooden fish, staring blankly at the rosary in front of him.

Ever since Jin Xiaoyan could remember, one of the things Master Lishang did most often was to stare at the rosary in a daze.Li Shang's rosary is different from other masters, and it seems to have a very unique meaning to her.

But Li Shang also often said that no matter how much you like things outside your body, you don't need to stay.In this way, it is contrary to his own behavior.

Jin Xiaoyan was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Shang, went into the temple, and kowtowed three times to the rosary.Just wondering, Li Shang said slowly that it was time for Jin Xiaoyan to leave.

Knowing that her love can't be broken, Li Shang still takes her in, waiting for such a day.Jin Xiaoyan is clear about his mission, and also knows that he is a pawn for Li Shang.But the current government is really chaotic, even the most intelligent Ninth Prince is no more than that, and now, she may still be trapped in the Valley of Lost Souls.

Li Shang set the rules for Jin Xiaoyan, as long as he leaves the nunnery, he can no longer speak, and must live in the palace in a dumb way.Jin Xiaoyan felt that such a fuss was too much, but he still complied.
