After passing by the water wheel, Xue Luoyun immediately thought of the problem of the dried up river that had been bothering her for a long time.
It seems that the wisdom and strength of the ancient people were never inferior to that of the modern people. It must be because the cult found this underground cave below the surface and used it as their base of operations. After that, they destroyed the underground lake and brought the underground lake water here for their normal use and for the transportation of water vehicles.
While thinking, he also searched for the figures of Xue Shaoli and Xue Lian. It was not to save them, but to ensure their safety. After all, if something were to happen to the sisters, the white-haired Xue Duan Sheng would send the black-haired man away with sorrow.
"This way!" The ghost-masked man scolded.
Xue Ruyun could only temporarily give up the idea of looking for Xue Lian's painting. He didn't understand, so he was assigned to stand in a group.
It turned out that Xue Ruyun was busy searching for Xue Lian's painting, and he discovered that everyone had been divided into different groups. According to the difference in appearances, Qiu Shuang and Xue Ruoyun were each assigned a group.
"What are you trying to do?" Xue Luoyun had a rather bad premonition in his heart.
After everyone was done, the Ghost-Masked Man brought the medicines one by one in front of them and ordered them to swallow them. Many women hesitated and didn't dare to swallow it.
At this point, the Ghost-Masked Man would raise his knife to scare them, "Hurry up and put the medicine in your mouth, otherwise I'll cut your tongue!" The others were too timid to hold back and swallowed the food with tears in their eyes.
"Come, you, take the medicine." The Ghost-Masked Man walked in front of Xue Ruyun and stared at her.
"Oh." "En!" Xue Ruoyun responded, then quickly stuffed the medicine into his mouth. The Ghost-Masked Man saw that she was clever and was afraid that she would try to trick her. She opened her mouth in disbelief.
"Ahh …" Xue Ruoyun opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue for him to see. Only then did this ghost-masked man feel at ease.
After the Ghost-Masked Man left, the corner of Xue Luoyun's mouth rose and he secretly smiled. It turned out that when he received the medicine, Xue Luoyun had already quickly slipped the medicine into his sleeve.
Xue Luoyun turned his head and wanted to look at the Ghost-Masked Man, but he only saw that next to the Ghost-Masked Man stood Xue Lian's painting. At this moment, Xue Lian's painting seemed to see her as well. Her face was full of surprise, and her expression was complex. It was hard to tell if it was schadenfreude or a request for Xue Ruoyun to save her.
Xue Ruyun pointed at her mouth and gave her a hint not to eat that medicine. Although Xue Lian's thoughts were vicious, he was always smart. She used a small trick to easily fool the ghost-masked man.
Xue Ruyun turned around and saw that everyone had become drowsy and sluggish after taking the medicine.
"This group, go over there." The steward gave an order, and Qiu Shuang and company were brought down. Some went to the kitchen, some went to the pharmacy …
As for Xue Ruyun and the others, they were brought to an enormous room. After waiting for a short while, a few mama like people walked in. Their faces were fierce and vicious as they tossed clothes to Xue Muyun and the others, "Change into them for me, hurry up."
Xue Luoyun and the others picked up their clothes, and without caring about their shame, they began to change.
At this time, while he was changing his clothes, Xue Lian took the opportunity to come to his side.
"How did you get caught here?" Xue Lian's words sounded like a question as well as a taunt.
"I came here on my own." Xue Ruyun looked left and right. Seeing that the mama wasn't staring at her, she answered Xue Lian's question.
"You're here to save me, right?" Xue Lian became happy after drawing it. Indeed, although they hated Xue Luoyun to the core, he still came to their rescue at many crucial times.
"No." Xue Moyan wore a belt and said expressionlessly.
"Then what did you come here for!" After hearing the reply, Xue Lian's expression changed and he almost lost his temper. However, when he thought of how he was now a person who had already taken medicine, he realized that he should be as expressionless as everyone else.
"I am here for the common people …" Xue Luoyun put on his outer muslin. Seeing that everyone had gathered in the front and lined up, he also hurried over.
"Tsk." Xue Lian followed and spat in disdain from behind Xue Ruoyun. Although she greatly hated Xue Luoyun in her heart, she still needed him to save her when she was caught in this damned place. As a result, Xue Lian drew a row of paintings and stood in a row with Xue Muyun.
"I am also a commoner, and even your sister. You must save me." It was more like a command.
Xue Ruyun's face remained expressionless, and he didn't reply.
After everyone stood up, they saw the screen open and a familiar back figure appeared in front of them. It was that woman with the head full of agate coral. Xue Ruoyun recognized her with a single glance.
She slowly turned around, shocking Xue Ruyun. Her skin was snow-white, even whiter than the winter snow. It was flawlessly white.
His eyebrows were deeply arched, a distinctive sallow hue. Under her crescent-like eyebrows, her eyes were as bright as the stars, breathtaking. Her eyes were blue, rippling, large and full of life. Just feel as if it will make you unable to open your eyes. Beneath the tall bridge of her nose was her tightly shut red lips, which looked plump and charming.
"How can he have this kind of appearance? His eyes are blue and his eyebrows are yellow. I'm afraid he isn't a human, but a monster?" Xue Lian said in a low voice.
Xue Ruyun rolled her eyes at her, too lazy to say more to her. 'Judging by her appearance, she should be a foreigner, 'Xue Ruoyun thought. But why would there be foreigners at this time? Hmm, it should be a Russian.
When the woman saw them, she nodded and smiled. Then, she started to recite some sentences. Xue Luoyun didn't understand what was happening, but seeing that those who had taken the medicine were reading along with them, he had no choice but to read along with them.
While reading, Xue Ruoyun understood the meaning behind it, but he was helpless as this woman spoke in a foreign language, an ancient language. Xue Ruoyun was not a person from this era, so it was difficult to understand. However, according to the keywords inside, it was to make people suffer hardships while enduring hardships. In the next life, there would definitely be a type of blessings.
It seemed like he was teaching everyone how to learn a cult.
"Brainwashing? Fortunately, I don't understand. " Xue Ruyun pursed his lips.
Everyone followed her for a long while, until their mouths were dry. Only then did the girl stop.
Following that, two mama walked over, one by one using needles to prick Xue Ruyun and the others' fingers, squeezing out blood. After the blood was squeezed, they brought it to the woman. The young woman's eyes were tightly shut as she carried the blood in her hands while mumbling something. After reading for a while, she passed a drop of her own blood into the water and let the mama carry it off.
Seeing that the mama had left, the room was temporarily unguarded, and the bronze masked men were all standing outside the door.
Xue Luoyun stretched her body, then slowly walked to the window. She opened the window and looked out. She saw that the nanny had taken the blood to the pharmacy.
"What is he doing?" Pill refining? " Xue Luoyun could not understand.
She looked around and saw that other than the Ghost-Masked Man that came and went to supervise, the rest of the young men were like tools. Their hearts were filled with grief.
"Just hold it in for now. Once I have a clear understanding of the situation, I will rescue all of you." Xue Luoyun said as he looked outside.
Xue Ruyun was worrying about the country and the people, when a hand suddenly extended from her back, heading straight for her neck.
"Who is it!" Xue Ruyun was surprised for a moment, but he quickly turned around and grabbed onto that hand. It was a white, smooth, jade-like hand.
"Ah, it hurts." It was that woman. She was twisted by Xue Muyun to the point of turning around and shouting in pain. He didn't expect that apart from speaking those strange languages, this woman could also speak those words.
"Ah, it's you. You didn't take any medicine?" Xue Ruyun quickly let go of her hand. When she saw this woman's lifeless and stiff appearance, she thought that she had also been drugged. She didn't think that she would become so clear-headed, as if she were a completely different person. Her big, flickering eyes were filled with an intelligent, crafty light at the moment.
"I didn't need to take any medicine to begin with." The woman said.
"Then what happened to you just now?"
"That's what you have to be solemn when you recite the scriptures."
"You didn't take any medicine?" The woman asked Xue Luoyun and Xue Lian's paintings.
"Nope." Seeing that this woman didn't seem like a bad person, Xue Ruoyun sat down.
"Where is this place? Who are you? How did you come here?" Xue Ruyun had finally met someone who was a bit more normal. There were too many questions to ask in her heart.
"This is the devil's hell, their altar, their saint …" The woman let out a breath that smelled like orchids as she spoke.
"Holy Maiden …" After hearing her words, Xue Ruoyun cautiously retreated, keeping a safe distance from the woman.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." The woman quickly explained.
At this time, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. It should be the Senior Servant. Xue Ruoyun and the others quickly went back to stand, changing into their previous stupefied expressions.
The mama walked into the house, and after saying her piece and giving the Holy Maiden a look, she continued reciting the sutras. The Holy Maiden's face was expressionless, as she brought everyone to read the inscriptions that they could not understand.
After he finished chanting, the Holy Maiden took three steps forward, closed her eyes, and then suddenly opened her eyes.
