Acai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1934 Guide, the strange fragrance of the agarwood box
Huangquan Road is the only entrance to the imperial mausoleum. After the death of the previous emperor, the people who were buried with him would carry the coffin and burial objects, walk in through this road, and stay there forever...
Huangquan Road was wide, and even if four carriages were to travel side by side, it would not seem crowded. On both sides of the road, as the legend had it, there were indeed brightly colored amphibian flowers planted, which were very eye-catching.
The dazzling red color makes it impossible to ignore their existence. Once you see them for the first time, you can't look away...
The petals of the blood flower swayed gracefully, and the shape of the petals was like human hands, waving at people on both sides, silently saying: Go forward, go forward...
Feng Qingchen was sitting on the horse, feeling something was wrong. Her head was dizzy and she felt like she was going to fall down. In fact, she did fall down. Fortunately, the snow wolf reacted quickly, let out a howl, and caught Feng Qingchen steadily.
"What happened?"
When the snow wolf called out, everyone finally reacted. They seemed to have lost their minds. When they looked at Feng Qingchen again, she had already fallen on the snow wolf, and they...
If it weren't for the snow wolf's cry, everyone would have fallen down, with disastrous consequences.
"There's something wrong with this flower. Everyone, try not to look at it and hold your breath." Feng Qingchen got off the snow wolf's back. The Ninth Prince also got off his horse and walked to her side. Qingchen asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I was just startled." Feng Qingchen took a deep breath and dared not look at the flowers on both sides. She always felt that the flowers seemed alive. Just looking at a group of them made her heart beat faster and she felt uneasy.
"Yeah." The Ninth Prince made sure that Feng Qingchen was fine, then he let her go and walked forward to check those unusual flowers.
The eighteen riders followed behind him, ready to protect the Ninth Uncle at any time. Xuan Shaoqi walked up to Feng Qingchen and said, "Qingchen, do you have that wooden box with you? It might come in handy."
"Yes, I keep it with me all the time." Feng Qingchen took out a small wooden box from his waist and opened it...
When this happened, Feng Qingchen was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Xuan Shaoqi was afraid that Feng Qingchen would lose consciousness, so he quickly pushed her. Feng Qingchen swayed for a moment, but soon stood firm and handed the wooden box to Xuan Shaoqi: "This wooden box is made of agarwood, but it didn't have any fragrance before, only a very light wood fragrance, but this one is surprisingly fragrant, but the smell is not bad, on the contrary, it makes people feel comfortable and clear-headed."
"It is indeed incredibly fragrant." The Ninth Prince smelled the wooden box and walked over.
Although he had taken medicine to prevent pollen fragrance allergies, he was still extremely sensitive to the smell. As soon as Xiaomu opened it, he found something was wrong.
"The material used for this wooden box should not be ordinary agarwood. The fragrance should be able to dispel the influence of these flowers, so that we can pass through smoothly without worrying about losing our minds." The Ninth Prince took the wooden box and said, "Try it first. If there are no accidents, then go."
"Let me try." Xuan Shaoqi knew that the Ninth Uncle was sensitive to the scent of flowers, so he volunteered. Naturally, the Ninth Uncle would not stop him.
Xuan Shaoqi took the wooden box and walked towards the Yellow Springs Road. After walking for more than ten meters, he did not see any problems. His brain was still able to think, but...
He seemed like he would never stop and kept walking forward.
"Shaoqi." Feng Qingchen realized something was wrong and shouted. Xuan Shaoqi was stunned and immediately stopped. He took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and then turned around and walked back.
"Are you okay?" Xuan Shaoqi was sweating profusely, and it was obvious that it was not easy for him to walk this short distance of just a few dozen meters.
Xuan Shaoqi smiled bitterly: "It's okay, I was just scared." Xuan Shaoqi was not afraid of embarrassment and said frankly: "With the fragrance of the wooden box, my mind is clear, but... my eyes can't help but look at the flowers on both sides, and then I feel like something is pulling me, and I can't help but want to move forward and can't stop."
"Hypnosis, you have just been hypnotized, which is what we usually call soul-stealing. Using these flowers to hypnotize people, people who take this path can be easily hypnotized." Feng Qingchen's first reaction was to perform hypnosis.
She knew that some masters could use objects to hypnotize people, but she had never expected that they would encounter such a powerful master who could hypnotize anyone who took this path.
"The road of no return. The deeper you go, the stronger the hypnotic suggestion becomes. Under deep hypnosis, people can't get out at all. They are like puppets, controlled by others." Compared with the hypnotic effect of this road, Su Rou's soul-stealing technique is simply weak.
"What should we do?" Xuan Shaoqi was scared. He had just been hypnotized. Fortunately, Feng Qingchen reacted quickly, otherwise Xuan Shaoqi would have kept going forward, and then... he would never be able to get out. He could only stay inside and be buried with the previous emperor.
"The snow wolf seems unaffected. Let the snow wolf lead the way. If we close our eyes and don't look to the sides, we should not be affected by the hypnotic suggestion." Since they are using objects to make hypnotic suggestions, they should just ignore the "objects".
Feng Qingchen didn't believe that they would be so unlucky as to encounter a hypnotic suggestion that defied the heavens. As long as they set foot on that road, they would be hypnotized. Of course, if they really encountered it, they could only consider themselves unlucky. This kind of non-human existence was something that mortals like them could not resist.
"Try first." Having suffered two losses, the Ninth Prince did not dare to be careless. If the entire army was wiped out here, it would be too unfair for him to die.
"I'll do it." One of the eighteen riders came out. Xuan Shaoqi didn't say much and gave the wooden box to the other party. He now had time to adjust himself and didn't have the energy to walk a second time.
"Add a few more. If there are too few people, the effect may not be obvious. It's better to tie a rope. In case you try to rush forward, we can still pull you back." Feng Qingchen not only tied ropes for the Eighteen Riders, but also tied one for the Snow Wolf to prevent it from getting lost.
Seven people and one wolf set out on the road to the underworld again. As expected, the Snow Wolf did not listen to Hua's suggestion. From time to time, he turned back and bared his teeth and tongue at Feng Qingchen. His little look was so cocky that it made Feng Qingchen laugh.
After walking about fifty meters, everyone was fine, so Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince dared to move forward.
Of course, if a group of people walk together, they will not be tied together with ropes. If they encounter danger, they will be seeking death if they are tied together.
Twenty-one people held hands or pulled each other's clothes. Feng Qingchen pulled the rope on the snow wolf. Like a blind man crossing a river, he walked slowly forward under the guidance of the snow wolf...
"I didn't expect that I could experience the world of a blind man in my lifetime." Xuan Shaoqi was still in the mood to joke, which showed that they were not affected by the Yellow Springs Road. The Eighteen Riders also echoed him from time to time to prove that they were not affected either.
However, they did not dare to say much, because they could not see, so they paid more attention to the sounds they heard. Even with the snow wolf around, everyone tried to stay highly focused in case of any sudden accidents.
Suddenly, the sound of sharp objects cutting through the void came from all directions...
"Be careful." The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen quickly opened their eyes and looked up, only to see...
