Chapter 454 The Antidote
She went back to the door of Wu Lin's house, picked out the Yu Jing Stone from the puddle, and remembered that Feng Yan asked Lin Rong to search her body when she was semi-conscious, but she couldn't find it after searching. She guessed correctly about the whereabouts of the Yu Jing Stone. This Yu Jing Stone is not only as simple as bringing an ominous curse, it also has another layer of secrets. Feng Yan must have accidentally overlooked it at the beginning. Turn around, such a thing was picked up by Yu Huan, and it was in Li Xiruo's hands.

Li Xiruo put the Yujing Stone in a cloth bag, got up and walked to the place where they worshiped the sacred tree. It has been a long time since they came here, and the first thing they heard was the reputation of the sacred tree, but it was not until today that Li Xiruo had any thoughts to see.

The sacred tree stood alone on an open field, covering an area of ​​nearly a thousand square meters. A huge number of people stood in front of it, without any sense of existence. Li Xiruo, like everyone else, saw it for the first time. With just one glance, a sense of sublime protruded in my heart, which is the respect and fear born of extraordinary things that are beyond what I usually see. Assuming that this sacred tree can move, it only needs to move a little, and none of the crowd below can move. run.

Therefore, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to it also needs to be noble and grand. The villagers bought four pillars of incense, which were about half the height of a person. It is estimated that it is for the safety of people and animals.

Then each villager used wooden boards to build three doors and six wooden pillars in front of the sacred tree. Zuo Siqi opened the door behind and watched, and asked the villagers next to him, "What are you doing?"

"This is a temple that was built. The gatekeeper is painted on the door. We will start the sacrifice later, and invite someone to come for divination."

Zuo Siqi nodded. Li Xiruo saw her and Zhou Runye and walked up. Seeing her, Zuo Siqi asked in surprise, "Why are you back?"

Li Xiruo made a hush gesture, and then asked Zuo Siqi, "Did anything happen during the three days I was away?"

Zuo Siqi nodded: "There was a man named Feng Yan who went to Wulin's house and searched all over, saying that he was looking for a stone, but his face was quite gloomy after he couldn't find it."

Li Xiruo lowered her eyebrows. In fact, she was a little strange when she was half unconscious when she heard Feng Yan looking for Yu Jingshi. She didn't understand why Feng Yan was so determined, and even went directly to Wu Lin's house, which proved that he already knew. Yu Jingshi is here.

When Li Xiruo was thinking about it, Zuo Siqi pointed her in the direction and said, "Look, he and that man named Lin Rong are standing not far from the tree. I heard from Wu Lin yesterday that after the sacrifice is over, there will be a lot of people in their village. There is an event, young and strong guys can climb this sacred tree, as long as they cut the highest young leaves, the sacred tree will bless him. They seem to be eager to try."

She looked towards Lin Rong and Feng Yan. The others were indeed eager to try, but their expressions were indeed gloomy, as if they were participating in some life-threatening event.

Sensing the unusual gaze, Lin Rong looked back into the crowd. Li Xiruo hid behind Zhou Runye in time and was not seen by him.

Feng Yan saw that Lin Rong was still looking around, and warned: "You should concentrate, or you won't be able to get the remaining antidote."

Lin Rong looked coldly: "You have already broken our agreement to attract her, what right do you have to preach to me now?"

Feng Yan smiled: "Her life is her qualifications. If she can't get something, I will let her go to the west."

"Then you don't even want to live."

Feng Yan listened, if there were not so many people around, he would have looked up to the sky and laughed: "If I can't get things, I would not be able to live, would I care about your threat? Bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes, What I made was a life-and-death deal, if you want to die together, if you want her to live, you have to let me live first."

Lin Rong didn't speak, and looked up at the towering tree in front of him. Among the luxuriant branches and leaves, he couldn't see the bottom at a glance. It was like an abyss born in the sky. The more he climbed, the more he went into the darkness.

When it came to the sacrifice, what Li Xiruo didn't expect was that the person who sacrificed was the hunchbacked woman who was setting up a street stall that day.She changed into decent clothes today, but her hair was still in a mess. She put a pine branch on the ground, three incense sticks, and offered three bowls of rice, three bowls of salt, one wine and one tea, and a fat sheep. After worshiping sincerely, he took out a small wooden tube and began to shake the hexagram. When everyone saw a hexagram coming out of the tube, the village chief stepped forward and asked the hunchbacked woman to explain the hexagram.

The hunchbacked woman squinted, "Ni Gua."

When offering sacrifices to the sacred tree, you can only go along, not against it. If it is against the hexagram, you have to shake it again and wait until it goes along.

The woman shook the hexagram again, but unexpectedly it was the reverse hexagram. At this time, there was already an uproar in the crowd. The only woman kept a calm face and continued to shake the hexagram, but she still made the next hexagram. Everyone bowed, not knowing where it came from If the sacrifice is wrong, it will always be a reverse hexagram.

When the woman shook out the Ni Gua again, her indifferent expression couldn't hold back anymore, she continued to shake with a serious expression, Feng Yan couldn't help but asked beside him: "When will I be able to climb trees."

The village chief looked at him in shock, as if he didn't understand why he didn't care about the hexagram first: "Of course it has to be an auspicious hexagram before we can have a plan for the next step."

Seeing that the woman shook out another Ni Gua, Feng Yan turned and left.

The hunchbacked woman said: "Someone had evil thoughts about the sacred tree and bowed down to the sacred tree with disrespect. This is a warning from the sacred tree. You should disperse quickly, or you will suffer catastrophe."

Feng Yan came back at this time, and heard the woman's words: "Don't rush to make a judgment, why don't you make another divination."

The woman shook her head: "It will be the same ending."

"You try again."

Hearing Feng Yan's affirmative tone, the woman had no choice but to shake it again. After landing, Feng Yan took the hexagram before the village chief and handed it to the woman.

The woman looked at the hexagram, stared at Feng Yan and said, "Most hexagram, the most auspicious hexagram."

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. They thought something would happen today, but it seemed like a false alarm.

But if Li Xiruo saw clearly from behind, Feng Yan changed the hexagrams, and the technique was so skillful and sophisticated that it was really difficult for ordinary people to see.

After the sacrifice, the village head announced that those who are willing can climb trees to get things, but advise everyone to put safety first, and not to do whatever it takes to win.

Of course, everyone knows that they just want to get a lottery. Secondly, if they can climb to the top of the tree, they can also win the title of hero. But unfortunately, after so many years, everyone who can really climb up has climbed to the top of the tree. The tallest person said that the tree grew strangely. When it reached the top, the branches were separated from the trunk below. It was impossible for ordinary people to climb up unless they risked their lives.

Because it was fun, there were only six young people participating. In order to measure the height of climbing, everyone had a red thread in their hands. When they reached their limit, they tied the red thread to the trunk and threw it down. Just cut off that end next to the trunk, and then measure the length.

Lin Rong was in the lead, and went up first, followed by Feng Yan, Lin Rong climbed extremely fast, and at the very beginning of going up, he jumped on the tree trunk, and when he entered the place with lush branches and leaves, the people below were basically invisible up.

Li Xiruo frowned, walked through the crowd, approached the tree trunk, and stared at the tree.

The higher you go, the more people give up. This tree is more than 30 meters high, and it is like a building. Climbing it with bare hands is definitely dangerous.

In less than a quarter of an hour, three people had given up, leaving only Lin Rong and another boy from Shashu Village.

Everyone looked at the highlight, but they didn't expect that the sunny weather just now turned cloudy. When they looked up at the sky, it was already gray. Before they could react, a thunderclap suddenly appeared in the sky, scaring people Many people screamed.

Several people came to their senses and immediately shouted to the tree: "It's thundering, come down quickly."

The young man at the bottom hurriedly climbed down, and because of fear, he jumped down at a height of more than one meter, turned his legs, but ignored the injury on his feet, and quickly fled away the range of the tree.

Soon after the thunderstorm, it started to rain. The village chief hurriedly evacuated the screaming crowd. A few good-hearted people stayed under the tree and shouted for Lin Rong and Feng Yan, but none of them moved.I saw the high branches shaking constantly, and I didn't know whether they had climbed there or were blown by the wind.

Seeing that there was no movement on the tree, Li Xiruo pushed those people away, and was about to climb up, but was stopped by a group of people: "Girl, this is not possible, it is thundering, and you will die if you go up, not to mention, We have never had a foreign woman climb a tree before."

Li Xiruo gave them a cold look: "Let go!"

The man was stunned by this look, and immediately dared not stop him anymore, watching Li Xiruo climb up.

Li Xiruo barely climbed onto the tree trunk, looked up, and saw two figures competing to go up.Outside the leaves was the deafening thunder, and the raindrops passed through the gap and hit Li Xiruo's face. Li Xiruo wiped his face and continued to climb up.

The rain soaked the tree trunk, and it was a little slippery. Li Xiruo tore off the shirt inside the coat and tied it in strips, holding the tree trunk, and jumped on it.

Lin Rong looked up resolutely. Even though the rain drained his eyes, he didn't blink. He only focused on the highest point, which seemed to have shielded the thunder outside.

After he got on a tree trunk, he suddenly heard a voice: "Gu Minghan, what are you doing?"

He froze for a moment, and immediately looked down. Seeing Li Xiruo standing on the tree trunk, his body shaking a little, he frowned: "What are you doing up here, get down quickly."

Li Xiruo clutched the branch next to her with one hand, freed her other hand, and stretched out to Gu Minghan: "You come down with me, we can't stay here any longer."

Gu Minghan looked at Li Xiruo and didn't speak. Li Xiruo became angry with him for the first time: "Didn't you hear the thunder outside? You are going to go up, and you will die."

Feng Yan was on Li Xiruo's left side, he looked at the looseness in Gu Minghan's eyes, and said to him: "Don't forget, if you can't get Cang Yun, you don't even want to get the antidote from me."

Hearing this, Gu Minghan turned his head resolutely and continued to climb up.
