Chapter 067 Looking for(1/2)
On the third day after the last encounter with mummies, word spread outside that two more corpses with the same death condition were found. According to this trend, the matter of butterfly blood Gu will definitely spread soon.
Anael is already living a life of countdown, every day he is afraid of wasting a little bit of time. Less than half a day after the notice saying that the missing woodcutter was posted, someone has already come to identify it.
According to the witch doctor's report, the woodcutter's wife was crying with snot and tears. After all, who would have thought that she could lose her life just by cutting firewood.
To prevent the matter from leaking out, Anal sent someone to give her a sum of money and arranged a place to stay, ostensibly to let her rest for two days.
After getting the specific location, she got up and immediately went to report the news.
"did you find it!"
"Yes, the woman said it was in the direction of the Holy Mountain." After saying this, she said with a sad face: "If the habitat of the Star Butterfly is really in the Holy Mountain, after many days, I don't know how many butterflies have been reproduced.
…”
Yin Sa only said: "Where is Yan Jue?"
Yanjue has been busy with Yuhua and supporting the body these past few days, so he has no time to care about the butterfly blood Gu. Ana'er was too lazy to mention it again and urged: "The most urgent thing is to get rid of all these things. Three people are already dead.
If we don't stop it, something big will happen."
"What do you want to do, and then send people to search the mountain?" She said quietly: "If it is true as you said, there are already so many adults in the holy mountain, if we go up there, I am afraid these people will die!"
"Then you just don't care!" Ana'er felt anxious, because after all, this is something that could lead to death. "Jiao Yinchang won't tell us anything, how can you expect him to tell us!"
"Jiao Yinchang has left Northern Xinjiang, so naturally I won't count on him."
"What are you talking about..." Ana'er almost jumped up in anger, "Jiao Yinchang is the culprit, how can you let him out of Northern Xinjiang!"
"He has the blood-transforming Gu and can't live more than two years. Since he voluntarily resigned from his position as a priest and vowed never to return to Northern Xinjiang, why should I stop him."
Fang Baimeijiao and Yin Chang disappeared one after another and left Northern Xinjiang. This was obviously to let them be poisoned by these Morpho butterflies!
"Yin Sa, what are you thinking about! You clearly know that once the butterfly blood Gu reappears, no one you meet will survive! Do you want all the people in the ancient city to die here by letting all this happen?
"Anal yelled a lot of words, and was so angry that he threw up his sleeves and left the hall.
On the high seat, a sinister smile appeared on Yin Sa's lips.
On the day Jiao Yinchang left, he got something in exchange for it, otherwise how could he let him go so easily!
People are greedy. After getting what they want, they will long for immortality. What's more, Yin Sa's body was corroded by poison and degenerated into a child state. She also knew that if she didn't control it, she would die.
So when Jiao Yinchang mentioned Hua Yingshi, she agreed almost without thinking.
Taking out a yellow dried leaf from the bottom of his sleeve, Yin Sa's mind rang Jiao Yinchang's words.
"You were so smart that you let Ana'er know about Pohungui. Now I can't hold her back anymore. I don't care, but you. If Ana'er tells the story about you and I working together to save her, haha
, then your ending can be imagined!”
"She doesn't dare! She herself is not a real saint..."
"No way, her soul is Anael! If you use the Soul Soul to extend your life for a long time, do you think you can still sit in the position of female architect for a long time!"
"..."
Seeing her silence, Jiao Yinchang suggested, "How about we make a deal? I can help you get rid of Anal, and I can also get something you didn't expect!"
"what?"
"Huaying Stone."
Although the seven treasures of Tianmu Peak are just rumors to ordinary people, they are real things in her ears. Because the jade seal of passing the throne in Northern Xinjiang was built by Qilin Jue.
"How can you help me?"
"Only by removing Ana'er first can we use Mo Shuruo to blackmail Yanjue into handing over the Huaying Stone. If you want to make her disappear willingly without revealing your secret, the method is very simple." He took out a yellow dried leaf.
After presenting it, he returned to the hall and said, "Anar is dedicated to serving the people. If he attracts the Morpho Butterfly on the day of the Heavenly Sacrifice..."
The wind started to blow outside the house, and when Yin Sa heard the last word, she completely believed him.
"Once the saint dies, you go up the mountain again and the poison is gone. You have done a great job and will get more support from the people. Do you still want to think about the best of both worlds?"
Yin Sa looked at the dried leaves in his hand and said, "You said it was all my plan, so what do you want?"
Things went as he wished, so what else could he ask for? Jiao Yinchang clasped his fists and bowed, smiling indifferently, "I don't want anything, I just hope Nvzhu can spare my life and let me leave Northern Xinjiang."
***
April has bottomed out, and there are still five days left for the heavenly festival scheduled for the Beginning of Summer.
After coming out of Emperor Wa's Palace, Ana'er hurried directly to the inn where Yan Jue was staying.
The two of them stood in the courtyard, and she directly stated her intention, "The location of the butterfly blood Gu has been found. Do you want to go up the mountain with me?"
"I heard that some adults have already killed people, right?" He didn't want to take the lead in removing the poison for Northern Xinjiang. If Yin Sa hadn't saved him not long ago, he wouldn't have bothered with this matter. "I will go find you.
Don’t worry about it.”
Ana'er said anxiously: "Yinsa let go of Jiao Yinchang and refused to send people to search for the Star Morpho Butterfly. I can't guess what she was thinking..." Now that time was running out and things were not progressing at all, she looked at
Yan Jue could only regard him as a life-saving straw, "Help me again, help me get rid of the butterfly blood Gu!"
"Even if the first batch of adults has hatched, the second batch of eggs will have to wait a month to mature..." He meant not to be in a hurry, after all, what is more important is Yuhua Fuxi's body, "Senior Brother's current condition is
Yu Jianjiang, I have no time to care about anything else. Since you are here today, I will ask for something from you."
Ana'er said: "I know your intention of coming to Northern Xinjiang, and I also know the answer to the request I promised you. Don't worry, I will give you what you want." It's almost summer, Yuhua
Fu Xuan's body was even colder. Ana'er was not stupid, she had already guessed what he wanted, "But you know, I don't have time to wait."
"I understand how you feel, but there are too many poisons on the Holy Mountain. I can't let you go up there!" Ana'er's body belongs to Mo Shuruo after all, and he can't take risks with her. "Besides, the butterfly blood Gu threatens the survival of the people.
If things get bigger, Yin Sa will not ignore it. Instead of worrying here, you might as well do what you want to do in the remaining time." His words were originally well-intentioned, but when he said them, they were harsh to the ears.
.
"You don't want to help me, do you..."
"That was not what I meant."
But she didn't listen, "I will set off to the Holy Mountain early tomorrow morning. If you are worried about her health, come with me. I am not forcing you. As a saint in Northern Xinjiang, it is my duty to protect the people. I must go.
Do, I hope you understand me."
If she needed a reason to live, this was the only one.
Early the next morning, Ana'er rode straight to the Holy Mountain alone. Yin Sa refused to send someone to her, and she couldn't take Chi Tianlin with her. If Yan Jue really didn't help, she might just be depressed, but fortunately! In
When she saw the man in white waiting by the mountain road, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked over, "I thought you wouldn't come."
Yanjue sat quietly on the horse, turned the horse's head, not wanting to say more, "Let's go."
"Sorry, I ask you to help in this way..." Ana'er said embarrassedly. Although Yan Jue helped her mostly for Mo Shuruo's body, at least the beneficiary was her, "But I promise you, Xingshan
After the butterfly issue is resolved, I will immediately take you to get the blood jade."
Yan Jue was amused, "Why did you agree so readily? Isn't the blood jade a jade seal to pass down the throne in Northern Xinjiang? If you just give it to me like this, aren't you afraid of becoming an eternal sinner in Northern Xinjiang?"
The two were riding horses and walking side by side on the mountain road. When she heard what he said, she also laughed, "What a sinner through the ages, the blood jade seal has only been popular in northern Xinjiang for a few decades, and it was taken from the Central Plains cult.
Besides, this thing originally belongs to Tianmu Peak, so it’s only natural for you to take it back.”
He sighed, "If I had known you were so open-minded, I should have asked you for it directly the night we first met, so that wouldn't have caused so many troubles later on."
There is no such thing as foreknowledge in the world! It was rare for him to tell such a joke, so Anal had no choice but to follow the tone and say, "If you had known in advance how I occupied the magpie's nest, I'd probably have dispersed my soul long ago.
"
He can really do this.
When Chu Yin Sa tested him, Yan Jue had murderous intentions, let alone what if he knew it from the beginning. But guesses are just guesses. At this point, those ifs are nothing to care about.
The two looked at each other, smiled, and rode off.
The sacred mountain is so big that the two of them searched for it for two days. They were a little patient at the beginning, but as the time became shorter and shorter, they became a little impatient.
"By the way," Ana'er took the time to glance at Yanjue while checking the top of the tree, "Did you smell any strange smell along the way?"
Yan Jue whipped over and flattened the bushes that were half a person's height in front of him. He didn't even look back and said, "No."
Remembering what Xiang Jingyi said that night, Ana'er reminded: "Before the star butterfly mating, the female butterfly will secrete a smell that is similar to the fragrance of flowers and unpleasant. I also suddenly remembered it, you just need to pay more attention."
"It smells like flowers but smells bad..." Yanjue stopped his movements and murmured: "I seem to have encountered this kind of smell somewhere..."
Ana'er walked over and said excitedly: "Is it true? Think about it again!"
Yan Jue closed his eyes and kept replaying the past scenes in his mind. The first place they appeared should be when he returned to the Thousand Bat Cave to check. It was probably left behind when the adult insect broke out of its cocoon. He didn't pay attention at the time. Then there was
The second time it appeared, it seemed to be...
He opened his eyes suddenly and looked at Anael, "I know where it is."
She quickly followed his pace, "Have you seen it before?"
Yan Jue said: "Do you still remember when Yin Sa sent someone to tie you to the tomb of the saint? That night, I smelled it on the way and saw faint spots of light."
"That means that the habitat of the Star Morpho Butterfly is somewhere along the way to the Saint's Tomb."
Finally found it! The stone that weighed on Anal's heart finally lifted, and he felt much lighter as he walked on the road.
The two of them walked quickly through the deep mountains and old forests. During the day, the sun shone through the branches, which was not as scary as at night. When they reached the middle of the mountain, Yanjue suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand to stop her.
To be continued...
