Chapter 52 Yulong Ridge (277/602)
Qinzhou Yulong Ridge is located among the mountains and there were originally residents, but a large miasma suddenly appeared near Yulong Ridge in Jiazi. It gathered among the mountains and never dispersed all year round. The people gradually moved away and slowly became a deserted place with few people. Only bold hunters and medicinal farmers would occasionally come here.
In late autumn, ancient trees around Yulong Ridge cover the sky and the sun are covered with mist below. Even on sunny days, the visibility is very low.
Deep in the dense forest, Sikongzhi was holding a vine crutch, and walked around the arranged traps and came to a stone cave below Yulong Ridge.
The cave seems to be formed naturally, with many poisonous scorpions wandering inside. Even if ordinary people see it, they will definitely not dare to get involved.
Sikongzhi used a rattan pole to sweep away the scorpion blocking the way, and tapped the stone wall twice. After a moment, a huge rock leaning against the corner of the cave slowly moved away, revealing a passage.
Deep in the deep passage, the lights were as bright as daylight. An underground palace was at the end of the field of view. Shadows in black robe were walking around, and the sounds of pounding medicine and crushing medicine were endless. There were also various poisons wandering in it. There was a deep pit on the side, where no less than ten thousand poisonous snakes were raised, and there were also many coolies with shackles, who were trending to do all kinds of heavy work like walking corpses.
It is said that an emperor's tomb was built here a thousand years ago. The Nanyue court also searched for it several times, but unfortunately it had never found its whereabouts. Until Jiazi, the Baizhe Valley, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, was burned by Dayue, and more than a dozen remaining core disciples fled into the mountains and fields. They accidentally discovered it and regarded it as a refuge.
It was the lowest rating ever in Baishou Valley. Sikongzhi and Zhou Qin were born in this tomb at that time. At that time, there were only a dozen elders around him, hiding deep underground, without seeing the light of day. Before the age of three, they didn't even know that there was day in the world.
Fortunately, after nearly sixty years of rest and recuperation, Baizhe Valley finally made some progress. The original imperial tomb was gradually transformed to its current scale. More than a dozen disciples of that year also scattered to nearly a thousand people, most of which were hiding in various parts of South Vietnam.
However, this is still too far from the tens of thousands of sects during the heyday of Baizang Valley. You should know that Baizang Valley was the national religion of Baizang countries. In the world, it was able to compete with the Central Plains. What about Wudang, Longhu, Cao family, Lu family, and when they arrived in Baizang, who dared not sell the face of Baizang Valley?
Sikongzhi heard about the glory of the past from his father, but he had never seen it lightly. However, Baikong Valley has developed to its present appearance in the hands of him and Zhou Qin, and it has become very fulfilling.
Moreover, the tragedy before Jiazi also reminded the elders of Baizeng Valley that no matter how powerful the Jianghu is, it is not as great as the imperial power. It is unrealistic to rely on poison skills to continue to flourish. The only one in the world that can last for a thousand years is the only prominent family.
It was from that time that Baizang Valley changed its direction and no longer lingered in the world.
Shangguan Qinhe, the direct descendant of the Baikong Valley Sect Master, was secretly taken outside when he was three or four years old, and became the youngest son of a Zhou family with the pseudonym "Zhou Qin". He studied, read, read, and took the imperial examinations. He became a small county magistrate in a remote place, and slowly passed on his resume.
After sending Concubine Zhou to the palace, Baikong Valley also managed various relationships and eliminated political enemies. It took more than 20 years to gradually control the Nanyue court.
Next, as long as Chen Ju succeeds to the throne, Baishou Valley can change his identity, reappear in another form, and then officially start playing this big game of chess.
But if you want to play chess, you must first have chess pieces.
Even if Baizeng Valley controls the entire Nanyue, it is just a soft-legged shrimp in front of the sky. In order to prevent Dayue from being beaten to death as soon as it emerges, it has to control a stronger chess piece.
At this time, the Xu family usurped the country and occupied Guanzhong. Dayue was divided into two, and Xu Buling's woman happened to be from Nanyue.
Then the matter is simple. As long as Xu Buling is brought over and controls it, you can safely erode the surrounding areas. There is no need for Xu Buling to do anything, as long as he does not order troops to be used against South Vietnam.
As long as you give Nanyue a few more years to pull up the troops and rely on various poison techniques of the Baishou Valley, you will not only unify the world, occupy the south, and form the four kings with Dongyue, Xiyue and Northern Qi. It is still fine. Maybe it is stronger than Dongyue, which is composed of the four kings in the east.
It’s just that the idea is beautiful, but it’s not an ordinary trouble to actually operate.
Xu Buling is too cunning.
Sikongzhi was still having a headache about this matter until now. If he could not poison Xu Buling, then Baishou Valley would have no choice but to do anything to Xu Buling. Now he could only hope that Xu Buling could take the initiative to attack, find the whereabouts of the five hostages, and fall into the trap.
Sikongzhi walked through the deep tomb path with a vine stick and came to the complex and huge land.
The third elder Gu Ling of Baimeng Valley walked over quickly and asked:
"Second brother, why are you back? The matters in the capital have been completed?"
Sikongzhi took off his cloak, handed it to his disciple's hand, and shook his head:
"Where are the five people I caught now?"
There are too many poisons in the crypt and the sun is not visible all year round, so living in it will inevitably be affected.
The third elder Gu Ling was like Sikongzhi. His hair was sparse and his face was covered with wrinkles, and he looked very old. He raised his hand and pointed to the wooden cages on the stone wall in the distance:
"I was locked there, but several people were ordinary people with no foundation. They couldn't withstand the cold in the cave and fell ill. They were afraid that they would be useful in the future, so they had been treated. But the old woman was too old and probably wouldn't live for a few days."
Sikongzhi raised his hand slightly: "It doesn't matter if you live or die, you can be there. What's wrong with the Crazy King Gu?"
The troops in South Vietnam were less than those in Northern Qi, and Dayue was too much. He was suppressed by Dayue for 60 years. It was difficult to fight with Dayue's army head-on. He could only find a way to go astray. The Crazy King Gu, who could make the army explode and kill each other, is naturally the best choice.
But the Crazy King Gu is too famous. It was because of this thing that caused the Baizeng Valley to be destroyed. If it were just poisonous substances such as the Dragon Lock Gu that dealt with experts in the martial arts world, Emperor Xiaozong of Dayue was not interested in digging three feet into the ground and destroying a Nanyue Jianghu force.
The Baizang Valley was burned and the disciples were almost killed. Although the remaining disciples rescued many treasures of the sect, the Mad King Gu could not be saved and even the breeding methods were lost. Sikongzhi spent most of his life trying to restore the Mad King Gu, but unfortunately the effect was not satisfactory.
Gu Ling also had a bit of sadness on his face, and brought Sikongzhi to a dungeon behind the underground palace.
The dungeon has hundreds of prison cells, each containing a prisoner and even a few war horses.
At this time, most of the people who were captured by these secrets had their eyes dull, while the rest were hitting their heads against the wall, laughing, etc. They must have been crazy, but they obviously had no lethality.
"The Crazy King Gu raised the second year before yesterday, which was considered the best-quality one. However, a few of the people who were caught in the Gu died of self-brutality. Most of them were crazy but not fierce. A few of them killed people everywhere died soon and were difficult to spread. According to the book, the Crazy King Gu did not kill anyone, and the Crazy King Gu went crazy for several days until they were exhausted. We are now far from our ancestors."
"well……"
Sikongzhi had no choice but to raise a Gu for a year or two, and there was no example to refer to, which basically means infinite trial and error, and the gods didn't know when they could get right. He thought about it:
"It can make people crazy and paralyzed the military formation. Let disciples seize the time to raise the Gu and collect venom, fight a war, and throw it on the city wall with a catapult. They can always help break the city and retreat the enemy."
Gu Ling thought about it: "The catapult... has never been used like this, it consumes a bit too much, and I don't know how effective it is..."
"With the support of South Vietnam's national strength, don't worry about spending, just let it go."
"good……"
