The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 863 Totem Pillar
Feng Yao and the others followed Jiuzhen to the center of the city, but they didn't see the palace with high walls and green tiles, but a huge pillar reaching the sky in the center.Countless phoenix-winged dragon totems were carved on that pillar. The pillar was made of white marble, while those phoenix-winged dragons were dark red, like embers about to die out.

"This is..." Yunyi's voice was a little excited, obviously he knew something about Juzhu.

When Feng Yao looked at Yun Yi, Yun Yi just raised his head and kept looking up, but the pillar was too high, and although he could see the top by looking up, no one could clearly see what was on the top.

"Is it right here? The Gu snake is on it?" Yun Yi asked.Obviously, what he was asking about was Jiu Zhen.

"It seems that you are really a man from the Yun family." Jiuzhen walked over, put one hand on the pillar, carefully caressing the patterns of the phoenix-winged dragon, and said: "There is still time, you can think about it." .But the Gu snake will come down only if it is fed with the flesh and blood of a woman."

"What does a Gu snake... look like?" Feng Yao also took a step forward. Although she was also afraid, she still wanted to know more.She already had an idea, she couldn't let Qingping take risks.

"Gu snake? It's a little cuter than you imagined. You'll know when the time comes." When Jiu Zhen said this, his tone was very light.But it made people even more uneasy when they heard it.

Qingping also stepped forward, she said earlier that she was the one to get the antidote.So now he is standing in front of this stone pillar, touching the dark red totem with his fingers.

But after touching it for a while, Qing Ping took a few steps back with a pale face, her shoulders trembled, and then she retched.

"Qingping!" Yan Jin ran over nervously, hugging Qingping tightly.

Qingping vomited a few times, then shook her head and said, "I'm fine. It's just that the smell of blood on the stone pillar is too strong, I can't bear it. And it's...human blood."

Feng Yao frowned, and couldn't help feeling sick in his heart.Her sense of smell is also very keen, and she smelled blood when she approached just now, but she didn't expect it to be human blood.

It appears that pregnant women have a heightened sense of smell, which is definitely true.Qingping has just passed the period of morning sickness, but obviously she still can't bear this special smell.

Hearing Qingping said that there was blood on the pillar, Mo Li nervously walked over and hugged Feng Yao to the side.

Jiu Zhen sneered: "Is this unbearable? There is no human blood, so what to feed the Gu snake? This stone pillar is the home of the Gu snake. When Feiyun Kingdom still existed, the Gu people were bred with slaves. Come, feed it to the Gu snakes. And now there are no more living people, the Gu snakes have been hungry for a long time. I don’t know how many Gu snakes are still on it now.”

A thing that sounds cruel, was said so easily by Jiu Zhen.It made everyone shudder.

Feng Yao even felt that she could understand the feelings of her grandmother back then.With a father like that who did such crazy things to his daughter, it was really a trivial matter to break up Feiyun Country.

Mo Li hugged Feng Yao's shoulder and comforted him gently.But he kept looking at Jiuzhen and the huge stone pillar, and for some reason, the uneasiness in his heart became heavier and heavier.

"Stay here and think about it. You can choose the room over there at will, anyway, no one lives there." After Jiu Zhen finished speaking, leaning on a mahogany cane, she walked around the crowd and left.

Qingping was still trembling slightly in Yanjin's arms, shaking her head and looking very weak.Yan Jin could only look at the rows of houses behind, and said to everyone: "I'll help Qingping go there to rest first."

This is a deserted imperial city, so many houses are empty.Some daily necessities were left in individual houses, but even if there were luggage such as bedding, Feng Yao and the others would not use them.I just found a relatively solid and tidy big house to live in.I also moved some old and unusable furniture out, and found some usable ones to rearrange.

Everything is ready, and it is sunset again.Everyone had some dry food on them, but not much.So Moli and Yanjin decided to go hunting and leave dry food for Qingping and Fengyao.Even if there is no dry food, the men of them all know martial arts, so they won't be hungry for a while.

Fengyao and Qingping found a half-new copper pot, rubbed it with fine sand and rinsed it with water, and finally put it on the fire to drain the water, waiting for Moli and the others to come back.

Yun Yi was with Yun Jiujiu and Aya, all three of them had wounds on their bodies, Yun Jiujiu was still covering his head and face, Feng Yao and Qingping boiled water and sent them there, Yun Jiujiu didn't take it off It means to drink water.But from the hole in that dress, one could see the despair and absent-mindedness in Yun Jiujiu's eyes.

"Yun Yi." Feng Yao called Yun Yi out, handed him the prepared medicine and white cloth, and asked, "Jiu Jiu... can he recover?"

Yun Yi shook his head directly, and said: "Maybe we are all wrong, and we underestimated the poison."

"What do you mean?" Feng Yao felt that there was something wrong with Yun Yi's words.

Yun Yi sneered and said: "Xiao Jiujiu's Gu poison is the latest among all of us. I thought he was different from us. He was the most hopeful to survive until the end, even able to endure the hurdle of 35 years old. Live for a long time. I didn't expect that after he was bitten by a poisonous giant rat, the poison in his body would immediately explode."

Feng Yao was stunned.Moli also analyzed Yun Jiujiu's situation to her, and Moli suspected that Yun Jiujiu's suspended animation was not necessarily caused by trauma.And it is very likely that the Gu poison has broken out.Now it seems that is the case.

"But, didn't you say that even if the man from the Yun family doesn't live to be 35 years old, he won't be strong until the poisonous poison finally flares up? Didn't the healthy Yun family men I saw in that yard before all Is it all right? Jiujiu is only seventeen, and the Gu poison has only occurred once, is it that serious?" This is what Feng Yao thinks is wrong.

Yun Yi shook his head helplessly: "That's why we underestimated the seriousness of this Gu poison, and delaying the poison is not necessarily good."

Speaking of this, Feng Yao's heart was startled suddenly, he grabbed Yun Yi and said: "That Mo Li's Gu poison also broke out once in the past, and then he used his internal force to suppress it. Will he also Just like Jiujiu, when it happens again..."

Feng Yao didn't dare to say the following words.He didn't dare to think about it at all, he just stared at Yun Yi blankly, with anticipation in his eyes, hoping that Yun Yi shook his head, comforting himself and said: Don't worry too much, Mo Li is fine.

But in fact, Yun Yi didn't say anything, just sighed, then turned around and left with the medicine and white cloth: "I'll go change the medicine for them, Aya's fever finally subsided."
