Chapter 400: Listening to the Foothills

Seeing that the iron cage and iron bucket were trapping people, Hongni decided that this place was a prison for prisoners, and firmly believed that the inn on the ground was a black shop under the guise of opening the door to welcome customers, but in fact it was trying to kill them.

Grunting, this is to turn the anger into action. was about to make a move, but was dragged by the falling dust.

Hongni was puzzled, turned his head and stared at Luochen and said: "This great immortal is rare and wants to be nosy, why are you still thinking about who is in charge with me?"

"No one is competing with you. Luochen couldn't laugh or cry when he heard his words, and explained, "When the storm hit before, I clearly heard a lot of footsteps......

Hongni didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then sneered with disdain in his eyes: "It doesn't matter how many people he has! Is this great immortal still afraid of a group of Ash who can't even blow the wind? It's really a big fuss, it's them who don't dare to let go of their hands and feet, and it's not me!"

"Don't worry about your white face, I didn't say who I was afraid of. Luochen pointed to the rock wall, "I came here along the pipeline, but there are already different directions up and down, and this is obviously not the final meeting point."

If there is really something wrong with it, how can you know that this is the only place in this situation? If you really want to save people, you should also find out the situation and get a few more liberations is serious. ”

"Absolutely. Qu Yi also interjected from the side, "Don't say that you should take care of it, it's really only this one, and you need to figure out how to start it." After all, we don't know what is surging in the pipe, and we have never seen the state of such a prisoner in front of us. ”

Red Clay stopped his impulse, spread his hands and asked, "What should I do then?"

Naturally, the first thing is to continue the investigation.

Luochen raised the plant in his hand and gestured towards the rock wall.

A few people then followed the roots of the plant and quietly touched the magnetic cue, and left here temporarily.

Quli turned around and traveled for a while, and sure enough, I saw a similar place again. The "prison" system is much the same, except that the human face slightly exposed in the iron bucket seems to be withered even more than before.

Red Clay pouted and looked at Luochen and Qu Yi.

The two patted him on the back of the shoulder, one left and one right, as a sign of comfort.

Continue to the previous section, and say goodbye to "prison" again.

After about five or six places like this, the withered face of the human face has seen a tendency to become shallower again.

After walking like this for a while, Luochen faintly felt that something was wrong, and turned his head and asked his companion: "Have any of you deliberately paid attention to the direction of travel?"

Hearing this, Yi Jian Lao Dao responded: "Well, we seem to be going around in circles. As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper from his body, drew a simple figure of the route he was traveling, and marked the entrance of the ground for reference distance.

A few people took a look, and sure enough, they were going around in circles.

According to the old diagram, after walking a little further, it is time to return to the "cage" where you first encountered.

Seeing that these "cages" were clustered in a relatively limited area, and although there were people guarding them outside the door, they were not enough, and they inevitably muttered in his heart.

If it were a place of captivity, would there be fewer guards? Was it because those people thought very highly of themselves, or, in comparison, the places they passed through were not important?

Hongni directly muttered the doubts in his heart: "Hey, why did you go around and around, and you saw some half-dead prisoners and small shrimps guarding the door, where are the people hiding? Could it be that what I saw and heard in the inn before was an illusion?"

Luochen looked at him, then looked at Qu Yi and Lao Dao, and asked, "Do you want to continue to investigate in a different direction, or save people first?"

Before the two of them could respond, Hongni shook his head first: "I can't save it." After this circle, there is not much to say, and there is a lot less, and they are all fat that can be hung up, and this great immortal can't carry a few. ”

Qu Yi pondered for a moment and said: "If people are not in one place, it is inevitable that people will notice the commotion if they can't save it, so it is better to cut off the source." ”

"Breaking the grass makes sense. Hongni echoed, "This great immortal originally wanted to keep a low profile, but it seems that it can't be done. Or look for those black-hearted and black-lunged Ash first, and then come back to save people after taking their lair. ”

Luochen nodded, and asked Lao Dao with a look in his eyes.

Yi Jian looked at the topographic sketch in his hand and said, "If you change the direction, I'm afraid you will have to consider it separately." I've been following your 'magnetic' all the way, but I'm afraid that if I don't leave it first, I'll still have to go around the neighborhood. ”

"Well, that's what the Taoist said. Luochen asked, "In your opinion, which direction should you go?"

"Here, here, and here, I've seen people change their posts when they come here. Yi Jian pointed to the picture and said, "The people who have been replaced in these two places are walking in an angular situation, and the road after coming out of this place is a little tortuous, but in the end it is also going in the opposite direction from here." If you want to go to a densely populated place, you should follow the direction of these guards. ”

Luochen followed his finger to detour on the map for a moment, pointed to a few curves and said, "After these places are extended, they are about to meet?"

"Yes. ”

"Well, let's go here first, and then go back as we see fit. Luochen made a decision, and saluted Yi Jian, "Dao Chief's picture is far more clear than the scribbled memory in my heart, why don't I bother you to show me the way?"

Yi Jian said politely, then walked half a step forward, and led a few people to change direction outside the "prison" area.

After another while, he didn't see any more unbearable places of imprisonment, but he stumbled into the long-lost dungeon and plunged into the settlement.

Of course, this so-called city, due to the cramped underground space, is far from being comparable with ordinary cities, and the building system is also simple and crude, but the number of people that can be accommodated is not small due to the appearance of the layout.

Seeing this, Hongni couldn't help but speak: "Obediently, this is a ground rat, right?

"Rats can't make such a bold hole. Qu Yi laughed with him, urging people to continue to move forward.

The two walked a few steps to catch up with Luochen and Yijian Laodao, and were about to continue to talk a few words, but when they saw Luochen turn his head and make a silent gesture, they shut up. Then a conversation came into my ears, and people listened passively back to the foot.

First, one of them asked with a sigh: "It seems that it should be rotated again tomorrow, whose house will it be dedicated?"

The other replied: "Your Excellency forgot, but in the period of hope, it is necessary to first determine the immunity in the gladiatorial battle, and then take over in order." ”

"It's the middle of the moon again?" the man sighed again, "Tomorrow is not in a few hours...... "The people have gone to the Colosseum one after another?"

"It should be. ”

"Well, I'll take a look. ”

There was another voice outside the two, and it seemed that he was a little surprised by this decision, and he was puzzled: "Your Excellency always says that the gladiatorial scene is not good-looking, how can you think about it today......

"I didn't want to join in the fun, but I just ......," the man said, "At the beginning, it was assigned according to the head and cultivation, and it was relatively fair, but it neglected other examinations and measurements. People's hearts are not ancient, human nature is changeable, and as time goes by, many injustices have been born......"

"I said, the elder obviously doesn't like to watch the gladiatorial scene, why did he add such a rule, because he noticed the hands and feet of those slippery people. ”

"Hmm. The man replied, and sighed, "It has been some time since this rule was set, and it should be improved, but I don't think it has much effect, but I don't know what has been added." ”

It was inconvenient for the people below to make a direct judgment, so they only sighed: "Alas, there are some Taoist elders...... It's bottomed out. ”

"yes, that's why I can't just turn a blind eye. ”

As he spoke, his voice faded away, as if the interlocutor had left where he was.
