Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 316 Ending (Part [-])
In the middle of the night, Baili Jingqi heard a rustling sound, and he couldn't help pricking up his ears to listen carefully.

At this time, Fang Tieyi ran over, with a flustered expression, and said to Baili Jingqi: "Your Majesty, a large number of scorpions appeared in front of the other fires."

When Baili Jingqi heard it, his scalp felt numb, and the rustling sound in his ears became louder, and he hurriedly woke up Huo Mingzhu in his arms: "Ah Jin, wake up."

Huo Mingzhu was in a shallow sleep, so when Baili Jingqi called out, she woke up. She sat up and looked at Baili Jingqi, "Scorpion?"

"I'm afraid it is." The rustling voices coming from around here, if it's not scorpions, then there are a lot of them, and they are also extremely dangerous.

"The scorpion came out of nowhere." Huo Mingzhu frowned.

Because they were at a relatively high place, it would take a long time for the scorpion to come up, so Baili Jingqi and the others simply piled all the firewood on the front steps and lit the fire.

In an instant, it was as bright as daylight.

At this time, Su Yu was nestled in Fang Tieyi's arms, her expression was a little tired, and it seemed that something was wrong, but now everyone was paying attention to whether the scorpion came up so fast, whether it would be blocked by the fire after it came up, and if it couldn't be stopped Stay, come here, what should I do, and so on.

After a long time, there was a change in the fire. The scorpion ignored the fire and started to rush into it. However, the fire was already burning, and when it rushed over, the fire was already cooked. .

The burnt smell instantly filled people's nostrils. Huo Mingzhu felt a pain in her abdomen and wanted to gag, but she held back. Baili Jingqi noticed her abnormality. Looking at her with concern, he said, "Ajin, are you alright?"

"No problem." Huo Mingzhu smiled and shook her head.

"Your Majesty, it's impossible to go on like this." Fang Tieyi walked over with a solemn expression.

Why didn't Baili Jingqi know that those scorpions were not afraid of fire at all, one or two were burned to death, there were a hundred and a thousand, all of them were burned to death, and there were 1 more, the fire obviously couldn't burn all of them to death. The scorpions blocked the outside, and when the scorpions pushed the fire down, the four of them were buried in the scorpion's belly.

"Scorpions are not afraid of fire, what else can we do?" Su Ling's voice was very frustrated, the voice of wanting to cry sounded in the darkness, and it made several people feel uncomfortable.

Huo Mingzhu stepped forward, held Sulu's hand and said, "Don't worry, we won't die here." As she spoke, her complexion changed. She stretched out her hand to cover Sulu's forehead, and her expression suddenly became serious: "You have a fever."

Hearing this, Fang Tieyi hurried over, put his hand on Sulu's forehead, and asked, "I didn't know it just now, why?"

"Wuuu, I let it bite me." Only then did Su Yu take out a dead scorpion.

"What." Huo Mingzhu's heart sank instantly.

Fang Tieyi also looked at Sulu with a painful expression on his face and said, "When is it? Why didn't you tell me, where is the bite? Besides feeling hot, do you have any other discomfort?"

Su Hui took out her hand, rolled up her sleeves, and showed her arm that was bitten.There, it was already red and swollen, and pitch-black blood flowed out, and there was a stench.

Anyone can see that it is highly poisonous, Huo Mingzhu hurriedly took out a pill from her bosom, crushed it and put it on her head: "Why didn't you tell, why didn't you tell if you were bitten."

"I'm afraid of disturbing your mother's rest."

"Confused, your life is the most important thing." Huo Mingzhu was full of grief, and the hand she was covering with Su Yu couldn't help shaking. The scorpion, at a glance, was known to be highly poisonous. How long has it been biting, and where the venom has gone, her pills can't force the poison out at all.

However, if Su Yu cannot be saved, she will feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"Your Majesty, it's fine for my concubine." Su Hao actually didn't feel any pain at all, but just felt very sleepy.

"Do you want to sleep?" Huo Mingzhu's face was serious.

"En." Su Hui nodded.

"Can't sleep." As soon as she fell asleep, the toxin ran faster. If she fell asleep, even the god Da Luo couldn't save her.

"Slap." A slap fell on Su Hui's face, dispelling her drowsiness. Su Hui stared at Fang Tieyi with wide-eyed eyes in disbelief: "You, you actually hit me."

"He just doesn't let you sleep, you know, if you sleep, no one will be able to save you." Huo Mingzhu looked at Sulu seriously and said.

Su Hui suddenly lost her strength and swayed, Fang Tieyi hurried forward to support her, and she leaned on Fang Tieyi and said: "Mother, don't worry about me, quickly open this Shimen, even if the scorpion comes, don't be afraid."

Who doesn't know this truth, if the Shimen is so easy to open, how can they get the treasure here?And at this moment, the fire suddenly collapsed, and thousands of scorpions had already passed through the fire, crawling towards the direction of the four people.

"Open the stone gate, empress!" Su Yu hurriedly called out.

Baili Jingqi came over, looked at the scorpion that was scrambling to climb up, he grabbed a torch in his hand, and said to Huo Mingzhu: "Yes, what Su Yu said is right, opening the stone gate is the only way to do it now. There is no way out, these scorpions, let me block it."

Although I don't know if there is no danger inside that stone gate, but right now I have no choice.

Huo Mingzhu knew very well in her heart that Baili Jingqi couldn't hold back for long, and opening the stone gate was the only choice, and she knew it too, but she didn't have the key in her hand, and she didn't know how to open the stone gate, what should she do?Huo Mingzhu didn't have a clue.

The scorpions came up quickly, but they were swept down by Baili Jingqi and Fang Tieyi, but the scorpions kept coming up like endless ones, and the situation was still very dangerous.

Huo Mingzhu put Sulu's body on the ground and sat down, she took a torch, ran to the stone gate, observed the structure of the stone gate, trying to find a way to open the stone gate.

Immediately, there was only the rustling sound of the scorpion, which was more obvious in this silent night, making one's scalp tingle.

Huo Mingzhu kept sweeping the torch over the stone gate, but she didn't find anything, but Su Hao found it, and she yelled at Huo Mingzhu: "Your Majesty, come out."

Huo Mingzhu was puzzled, but she still walked out according to the method she said.

Su Yu said again, "Raise the torch."

Huo Mingzhu did so.

As soon as the torch was lifted up, the light of the fire shone on the stone wall, and immediately saw a different place. In the middle of the stone gate, there was a sunken place, which was very clear under the light of the fire. Huo Mingzhu was overjoyed, and hurried over. Look, but there is nothing in the middle of the stone gate, where is the groove coming from?

"Huh?" Huo Mingzhu was still puzzled.

Su Hui struggled to stand up from the ground, walked to Huo Mingzhu with difficulty and said: "Madam, I'll hold this torch, you take your time to find it."

Huo Mingzhu nodded, and handed the torch to Sulu.

Su Hui picked up the torch and held it at the position where Huo Mingzhu had just lifted it up, the groove came out again, and Huo Mingzhu could see clearly that the groove was alluded to from the stone wall behind her.

Huo Mingzhu shouted to Baili Jingqi: "Jingqi, where is the jade pendant?"

Baili Jingqi took out the jade pendant from his bosom and threw it to Huo Mingzhu. Huo Mingzhu caught it, touched the ground with his toes, and flew straight up.

Her qinggong was excellent, she jumped up a few times, and she was already on the stone wall, just at the position she saw under the light of the torch, there was indeed a groove, where the jade pendant fit perfectly.

Why did Huo Mingzhu think it was a jade pendant, but it turned out to be a dead horse as a living horse doctor?

Putting the jade pendant in, the earth began to shake.

Baili Jingqi was chasing away the scorpions, but the scorpions didn't need to be chased away, as the ground shook, they retreated by themselves.

Huo Mingzhu was still standing on the stone wall, she watched the jade pendant rolled over after being embedded in it, and she also forgot to come down, Baili Jingqi looked up at Huo Mingzhu, her heart couldn't help jumping wildly, If she loses her balance and falls...

"Ajin, come down." Baili Jingqi was still in shock.

Before Huo Mingzhu could answer Baili Jingqi, the change had already begun.

Where the jade pendant was, a strong light shot directly into the center of the stone gate in front of her. Su Hui was so frightened that she lost the torch in her hand and fell to the ground.

The bright light hit the center of the stone gate, and the four of them immediately saw a pattern appear on it. The four of them immediately recognized that it was a kind of totem, the totem of Hanhai Kingdom, and there was this totem on that map.

Immediately afterwards, the stone gate made a rumbling sound, Huo Mingzhu and others watched with bated breath, only to see the stone gate rising slowly, and the ground began to shake uncontrollably.

Huo Mingzhu was clinging to the stone wall, but when the ground shook, she couldn't stabilize her body at all, and she fell down just as Baili Jingqi thought.

Baili Jingqi was so frightened that he hurriedly reached out to pick up Huo Mingzhu's body.

Huo Mingzhu already had a reaction when her body was tilted, and she wanted to use something to stabilize her body. When she saw Baili Jingqi opened her arms, she gave up the idea of ​​saving herself, and opened her arms to let herself Falling into Baili Jingqi's arms.

The next moment, Huo Mingzhu's body fell firmly into Baili Jingqi's arms, and she looked at Baili Jingqi with a smile, as if they were playing at this moment.

Baili Jingqi looked at Huo Mingzhu solemnly and said, "It's such a joke, why don't you take your own body seriously?"

"Isn't it because you're here?" Huo Mingzhu said with a smile, instantly soothing Baili Jingqi's anger.

On the other side, the stone gate has been completely raised, at this time, the jade pendant on the stone wall was also 'vomited' out by the groove, and hit Baili Jingqi on the head.

Even though the stone gate was opened, several people did not go in directly.

Sulu's condition was not very good, and she developed a high fever. Huo Mingzhu took out all the antidote pills on her body, and also took out all the medicines from Baili Jingqi, and kept trying to prepare them, trying to use the only medicine in her hand Some detoxification pills have been debugged to remove toxins from the body.

Until dawn, Huo Mingzhu didn't debug it. She held back the pain in her heart and looked at Suwei who was dying in Fang Tieyi's arms.

"I will definitely not let you die." Huo Mingzhu said fiercely.

"Ma'am, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, let's go in quickly to find the treasure, we found it, so we can go back." Su Ling pointed in the direction of Shimen.

Fang Tieyi hugged Sulu tightly, holding a fruit in his hand, and when Sulu finished speaking, he fed her some fruit to eat.

Now, treasures are not treasures, but Huo Mingzhu's real concern is not. At this moment, she has only one thought in her heart, and that is to save Sulu.

"Your Majesty, just listen to me once, okay, let's go in first." Su Yu was very worried, she just closed her eyes like this, she really wanted Fang Tieyi to carry her on her back and go into the stone gate, for no reason, It's just a longing, not wanting to die outside this stone gate, in Huo Mingzhu's sight.

She would rather sleep on Fang Tieyi's back without knowing it. How could this kind of death not be called happiness?

Su Ling's persistence made Huo Mingzhu decide to enter the stone gate.

Several people hastily ate a few fruits, Fang Tieyi was carrying Sulu on his back, Baili Jingqi was holding Huo Mingzhu's hand, and the four of them stepped into the stone gate.

After entering the stone gate, there is a passage, not too long. Huo Mingzhu and others quickly finished the passage, and there is another stone gate in front of them. Fortunately, the switch of this stone gate is easy to find. There is a palm-sized stone next to it. Go down, and the stone door will open.

As soon as this stone door is opened, what comes into view is a huge stone room, very dry, covered with green grass on the ground, the grass does not grow, only the length of a person's finger, spread on the ground, as if covered with a fur carpet, the grass blooms in the middle Many flowers are black because they don't see the sun, but they are also very beautiful.

"It's weird." Huo Mingzhu murmured to herself.

"Ajin, look there, is it the crystal jade ganoderma?" Baili Jingqi kept pointing his fingers, and Huo Mingzhu followed his fingers to look over there. Sure enough, he saw a red ganoderma on a rock wall, and immediately Overjoyed, it really was Jingyu Ganoderma lucidum, she lifted her foot and wanted to run over.

But Baili Jingqi held her back: "Ajin, why are you so reckless."

Huo Mingzhu looked at Baili Jingqi in confusion.

Baili Jingqi let go of her, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it into the grass under the Ganoderma lucidum. As soon as the stone fell, huge moths were instantly aroused.

Those moths were also pitch black. After the stone fell, they all rushed towards the stone. It is conceivable that if a person walked in, would the moths eat up the person? Although I have never heard of carnivorous Moths, but this is an extraordinary place, so of course you have to be cautious.

Baili Jingqi said to Fang Tieyi: "The ganoderma can save Sulu's life, but I won't let Ah Jin pick it."

"My Majesty, please give me this thing." Fang Tieyi knelt down hastily upon hearing this.

Huo Mingzhu nodded: "Be careful."

"That moth is afraid of fire, try it." Baili Jingqi handed Fang Tieyi a torch.

Sulu blocked Fang Tieyi's hand, preventing him from taking the torch: "No, you can't go."

"You can't stop me." Fang Tieyi was determined to pick the Ganoderma lucidum.

Su Hui was furious, she slapped the torch out viciously, Baili Jingqi was going to hand it over with the torch, so she didn't use any force, Su Hui exhausted all her strength to slap the torch, and the torch fell directly on the ground. on the grass.

As soon as the fire touched the grass, the grass burned instantly.

The complexions of the few people changed, and they wanted to put out the fire, but it was too late, and Su Ling looked at them with a pale face: "I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean it."

However, the apology was useless, the grass was burned to the ground in an instant, but it was strange that the fire burned under the feet of several people, but it automatically extinguished, but the moths were miserable, they were burned to death, and the air was filled with There was a burnt smell, which was uncomfortable.

However, when the green grass burned, a stone pavement could be seen immediately in the stone room, and the moths under the Ganoderma lucidum disappeared. Fang Tieyi threw the stone over, which only stirred up a burst of ashes. He was overjoyed and rushed over, three Pick the Ganoderma lucidum twice, come back quickly, and hand it to Huo Mingzhu.

If he could save Sulu, he didn't know how to do it, so he could only look at Huo Mingzhu pleadingly.

It's not that Huo Mingzhu didn't want to save people, but was stunned. The fire didn't burn the stone room, but burned a road.

There are a few different ones in the middle of the cobblestone road in front of him. Huo Mingzhu guessed that there might be agencies from above.If you don't burn the grass, you may step on it when you pass by.

However, who discovered that the stone chamber would be set on fire?Even just now, they didn't think about burning the grass, nor did they think about burning the grass to pass through the stone chamber safely.

Huo Mingzhu took the Ganoderma lucidum from Fang Tieyi's hand, took a handkerchief, swept the spores on the canopy of the Ganoderma lucidum, and then said to Fang Tieyi: "This spore powder is a holy thing for detoxification. A lot was knocked off during picking, but it was enough, so I took it and gave it to Sulu to eat."

Watching Fang Tieyi carefully feed Sulu the spore powder, Huo Mingzhu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "This girl is protected by Buddhist beads, no wonder she insists on entering Shimen, it turns out that there are holy products that can detoxify inside."

If there is no harvest in this treasure hunt, this Ganoderma lucidum alone will be worth a fortune, and it is not in vain for them to come here.

"Put away this Ganoderma lucidum, let's go in and have a look." Before the stone room was burned down, there were other precious herbs besides the Ganoderma lucidum. The ganoderma was also picked by Fang Tieyi, so the stone room was empty at this time.

A group of people walked in.
