GBP Chapter 504 Mirage
Chapter 504 Mirage
At night, Fu Jinyuan appeared on the outskirts of the city with his secret guards.
The wind in Salt Lake City always has a salty and bitter taste, but tonight the wind smells unusually bloody.
The moonlight splashed on the battlements of salt crystals, turning the entire courtyard into a huge salt sculpture.
The villa was heavily guarded. Fu Jinyuan ordered the secret guards to separate, killed the guards quietly and silently, then changed into their clothes and took their places.
Qin Zhen was very surprised when she saw Fu Jinyuan's well-trained secret guards.
You have to know that these guards are all masters, but the people brought by Fu Jinyuan can easily kill them with one move.
From the outside, you can't tell that this villa is that big, and its architectural structure is unique. After entering, there is a large square with three wells dug in the shape of the Bagua around it.
Tan Zhen had a trauma from her childhood here. She hid behind Shi Qing and trembled unconsciously.
"This is the altar. When the mirage begins at midnight, we will offer sacrifices to the salt well here." Her teeth trembled slightly, even though she tried hard to control her fear.
"Where is the girl imprisoned?" Fu Jinyuan asked.
Qin Zhen closed her eyes and tried hard to recall the scene when she was brought here as a child. Because of fear and hatred, she forced herself to recall the scene over and over again every day.
She was brought here in a conscious state. At that time, they probably thought that she was too young to leave alive, so they did not knock her out.
"There's a lake in the back with a mechanism. If you open it, you can go to the cellar."
"The mirage is down there."
Fu Jinyuan's eyes turned cold, "Lead the way."
Across the square, you can see a salt lake. Twelve glazed salt lamps float in the center of the lake, creating a very strange contrast with the phosphorescent light of the salt lake. There are also four bronze tripods placed around the lake.
"I only remember that there is a mechanism that can open a passage, but I don't know how to open it." Qin Zhen said with a pale face.
They had found this place, and she had done her best.
"There's someone." Wu Yang in front said in a low voice.
Fu Jinyuan immediately hid in the darkness of the corner to hide his figure.
Four men in white Taoist robes were holding something in their hands and walking towards the boundless silently. They stepped on the ground a few times, and twelve glazed salt lamps flickered.
A passage slowly opens up along the white stone steps by the lake.
Their figures were seen gradually sinking and soon reached the bottom of the lake.
Fu Jinyuan was about to follow when he suddenly saw two familiar figures appear on the opposite side.
He was sneaking around and looking around, and it seemed that he had sneaked in.
They were about to approach the white jade ladder and were about to step in when suddenly, twelve colored glaze salt lamps began to spin rapidly and countless hidden arrows shot out from the bases of the colored glaze lamps.
The indigo salt frost on the arrowheads bloomed into ice flowers on the ground.
Fu Jinyuan's face changed slightly, and he kicked the bronze tripod to block all the poisonous arrows.
The flames licked the salt crystals in the sky, burning the night sky into a dark blue purgatory.
"Your Highness?" The young girl, who thought she was going to die here, turned her head quickly and saw the tall figure standing opposite her. She exclaimed in surprise.
This sneaky girl was none other than Ruan Zhaoxia, who had been missing for a long time, and the other person was Zhao Jiuling.
"Someone is coming, Your Majesty, don't come out yet, it will take a while to rescue us." Ruan Zhaoxia shouted hurriedly.
Countless people in white robes rushed out from the white jade stairs and surrounded Ruan Zhaoxia and Zhao Jiuling.
"Ms. Zhao, didn't you leave Salt Lake City? Why are you still here?" A young man walked slowly forward, staring at Ruan Zhaoxia with a gloomy look.
"Of course I'm here to look for someone. My friend was taken away by you. Why don't you give her back to me and I'll leave now." Ruan Zhaoxia wanted to stand in front of Zhao Jiuling, but he held her wrist and protected her behind him.
"You're joking, Miss Zhao. This is a salt-refining place. How could we have your friends here?" the young man said coldly.
"Master Lu, there is no point in telling lies with your eyes open. I saw with my own eyes that Miss Liu was invited here by you, and I haven't seen her come out since then." Ruan Zhaoxia said lightly.
"If you don't hand it over, I'll report it to the police."
Young Master Lu chuckled and said, "Then go and report it. You'll see if the government will pay attention to you."
"Officials and businessmen are colluding with each other. It seems that I underestimated you." Ruan Zhaoxia snorted.
"Since you're here, we're in need of a maid to serve tea to the Saint, so you'll be the one." Young Master Lu raised his hand.
Zhao Jiuling protected Ruan Zhaoxia tightly and did not let anyone get close.
However, his boxing and kicking skills were barely enough to protect himself, and he was no match for the guards.
"Miss Zhao, if you continue to resist, your beloved might die here tonight..."
"Let her go. Come to me if you have any problem. I know your Lu family is not afraid of the officials in Salt Lake City. Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the royal capital?" Ruan Zhaoxia was still stubborn.
Young Master Lu chuckled, "There's nothing to be afraid of in our Lu family. If you have the guts, go and file a complaint."
Their biggest supporter is in the royal capital.
When Ruan Zhaoxia heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
Young Master Lu has indirectly admitted that their backers are in the royal capital.
"Miss Zhao, do you want to be obedient or watch him being killed here with your own eyes?" Young Master Lu asked in a calm voice.
"I'll go with you and you let him go." Ruan Zhaoxia said.
"He is really loyal and righteous. Don't worry, as long as the salt well sacrifice goes smoothly, he will definitely survive." Young Master Lu said with a smile.
If tonight was not the eve of the sacrifice and the altar was not to be stained with blood, he would have killed the man long ago.
Ruan Zhaoxia's spy secretly glanced at where Fu Jinyuan was hiding, and followed Young Master Lu into the white jade stairs.
Fu Jinyuan watched this scene quietly. He thought that after this matter was over, he would definitely write a letter to his uncle personally, saying that Ruan Zhaoxia still did not do enough homework.
We should ask the Queen Mother to find a few more teaching maids for her.
"Prince, what should we do?" Wu Yang asked in a low voice.
"Follow him." Fu Jinyuan said.
The mirage hasn't started yet. In order to ensure that the sacrifice is carried out normally, there must be a lot of guards under the lake.
If they want to save people, they must find the virgin before the sacrifice begins.
As for Ruan Zhaoxia, it was obviously not her who was captured to be the saint.
"You don't have to go with me." Fu Jinyuan said to Tan Zhen.
"I want to go, Your Majesty. With me here, we can find the virgin faster." Tan Zhen said hurriedly.
Fu Jinyuan looked at her and said, "If you hold us back..."
"No, I would rather die than hold you back." Qin Zhen promised.
Hearing this, Fu Jinyuan pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.
When I walked in, I found that there was a bronze door on the ground, with statues of the Mother of Salt on both sides.
Qin Zhen found two grooves next to the Salt Mother statue and tapped them a few times. Two doors slowly opened, revealing a white jade staircase.
Walking down the long dark passage, there was suddenly a large patch of faint blue light. After turning three corners, on a plaque made of white stones, there were four large characters "Mirage" written on it.
