C729 (2/2)

After tying the rope, Gu Daiyan found it hard to discern his direction in the dark. He sent people to find a deep pit nearby and then poured the kerosene down.

Four hours later, the light from the fire illuminated half of the forest.

The vine beneath her had been growing for a hundred years, and the miasma had already seeped into its roots. She told the others to prepare the medicine to soak the handkerchief, but she only breathed in the strange smell and felt Yue Qing gently tugging at her. ”Your Highness, you …”

”I've already been poisoned, so it's fine if I get some more poison.” As he said this, the paper bag in Gu Daiyan's sleeve fell into the deep pit when no one noticed.

As the flames burned fiercely, the soldiers behind him thought that it would be difficult for the fire to dissipate by daybreak.

Gu Liuyan was curious about this.

Back then, when she and Duan Chengxuan were trapped at the bottom of the cliff, there was clearly a small entrance that allowed them to enter the deep pit, but why hasn't the current flowing river flowed in? Was it a rock that blocked the entrance, or … Was that entrance a door they had stumbled into by accident?

Everything was unknown, but Gu Daiyan could smell that the fire was gradually changing. She raised her hand and clutched her chest, staggering back a step.

”Your Highness!” Yue Qing hurriedly pulled the person in front of her back and placed her on the ground. She let Mu Qing take her pulse. Mu Qing only pondered for a moment, but didn't say anything.

Lying in the shadows, Gu Pingyan revealed a strange smile. He held onto Mu Qing's wrist with one hand and said in a low voice: ”Tell me, what happened to me …”

”You can't be alive.” Mu Qing's palms were already drenched in cold sweat, but Gu Liuyan's cold hands were still pressing down on his wrists: ”But I'm still alive.”

Life wasn't a gamble, but Gu Mingyan had always been a gambler.

The pain in her heart did not disappear at all. Gu Pingyan grabbed Mu Qing's arm and sat up slightly, cold sweat pouring down her body. The firelight passed over Mu Qing's shoulder, illuminating her face, Yue Qing and Feng Jiao did not understand what Mu Qing meant, but Gu Pingyan just sneered and said: ”Wait for the fire to die down, then let the rope down, we can all go down.”

”What did Mu Qing mean by that?” The porcelain half knelt beside Gu Danyan.

”Literally.” The veins on her forehead became more prominent, and her slender arm was covered with black veins. She could even see the blood vessels and meridians underneath her arm. Su Yu Wan screamed and fell back, while Yue Qing also carefully took a step back.

Feng Zhiling's eyes widened. ”You …”

”I did it myself.” Gu Danyan bit his lower lip and said in a low voice: ”Take me to get some medicinal bath first, we'll come back tomorrow.”

Mu Qing also slowly stood up, his eyes shining brightly. As long as Gu Tinyan was around, this method of immortality would work!

However, they didn't notice that Gu Danyan, who was leaning on the porcelain shoulder, had a relieved smile on his face.

The miasma of falling into the water, the cave beneath the vines, and the fragrance that only she could smell.

All of this was no coincidence. She tightly clenched the material on her chest. She had never felt such excitement from the iron bell's poison before. She wished that the wound on her chest could be ripped open. Ye Zichen thought with a misty look.

Fallen Water Pass was her Blessed Land. It was the place where she would live after putting her life on the line!
