Shoko Gaomen (38)

"What should I do?" Lin Yutong looked at the fourth master, whether to go down or not, this is a question.

The fourth master pointed to the oil lamp: "Take some medicine and go in......" Even if someone breaks in, it will be fine.

That's what I want to do.

Lin Yutong had to drug the wick and lamp oil again, and checked the doors and windows again. Only then did he take out a small flashlight for the lighting and handed it to the fourth master. The fourth master adjusted the light to the darkest, and then shone down. Descending from the entrance of the cave, there are steps. Where the light hits, nothing special, it's just the steps.

The fourth master walked down first, and Lin Yutong followed closely behind. Walking down the stairs lightly for more than 20 units, it was a small platform, and the steps turned in another direction from here and continued downward.

After turning around like this a few times, I went down seventy or eighty steps before I found a road. Walking more than a dozen steps along the road, Lin Yutong felt that the smell of blood was getting heavier and heavier. Following this taste, I walked forward for another twenty or thirty meters, and suddenly opened up in front of me, this is a stone room dozens of square meters in size.

At this time, the nose was filled with the smell of blood, but there was no blood on the ground.

Lin Yutong said that she wanted to see if there was a dark room here, and she felt a cold on the tip of her nose, and she touched it with her hand, which was sticky and fishy. So, I hurriedly shone the flashlight on it. Seeing this, Lin Yutong, who was almost frightened, didn't scream.

Even if he had seen a big battle, he was frightened by the situation in front of him.

I saw more than a dozen people hanging above, whose arms and legs were all locked with iron cables, and were suspended in the air in the shape of a 'big' character. Under everyone, there was also a wooden trough hanging from them, and the blood on these people's bodies fell down little by little and fell into the wooden trough. What made Lin Yutong feel that his scalp was numb was that these people had no face.

Yes, that's right!

Because their faces were peeled off, and their whole faces were blurred with flesh and blood. Lin Yutong could also faintly smell the smell of medicine, which was the smell of white medicine for the treatment of trauma.

He was tortured, his face was peeled, and he was so cruelly bled by someone, but he was drugged and healed.

In that case, these people should be alive. If you are tortured alive, you can't die if you want to.

It is said that it is cruel to cut people into human beings, and the person in front of him does not seem to be much better than human Biao.

Who are they? Why are they locked up here by the emperor and tortured like this?

The fourth master looked left and right, and saw a ladder hanging on one side, so he said, "I'll go up and have a look......"

"I'd better go. Lin Yutong grabbed the fourth master, "It's useless for you to go up." I'll see if these people are saved. ”

The fourth master looked up, and then looked at Lin Yutong: "Be careful......"

Before Lin Yutong could answer, he heard the sound of footsteps. The two of them turned off their flashlights in an instant, stepped back, and stood against the wall of the corridor, slowing their breathing.

Immediately after, the footsteps became clearer and clearer, but it was just the footsteps of one person.

It didn't take much effort, faintly, and a little light came from the road at the other end. Slowly, the light became brighter and brighter.

It was a hunched man with an oil lamp in his hand, and when he came in, he hung on a raised stone in the stone wall. You can see that he is familiar with this place.

"Or don't you say anything?" the man snapped. The voice is hoarse and low, so that people feel as if there is something blocked in their throat when they listen to it, and then they feel uncomfortable in their throat.

When he said this, he must have known that the people above were awake and sentient. So when he talked to the fourth master just now, wasn't he heard by the people above.

This time it was really careless.

The fourth master gently shook Lin Yutong's hand and signaled that it was okay.

I heard the man say to himself: "You said that we have been friends for so many years, and I can't bear to do anything to you." You hand over the token, and I'll put you down. After your injuries are healed, you can live incognito and live a good life for a few days. It's also saved here, hiding in the mountains all day long, no one is a ghost, no ghost is not a ghost......"

The person above laughed twice: "Token...... Luo Guo, tell me, who is your master, and I'll tell you where the token is?"

"My master......" Luo Guo shook his head, "You are really a dead eye, who to sell your life is not to sell, the emperor is now old, and he is about to change his master." You hold the old master and don't let go, what the hell are you trying to ......"

Lin Yutong said in his heart: It turns out that this is infighting! Someone has infiltrated the secret guard. It's not that the emperor locked people up here.

"Phew!" the man above spat down, "Disloyal and unfilial brute!"

Luo Guo was not angry, and said while holding the medicine bottle and swaying: "Jin Jia, you are the eighth generation Jin Jia." Don't think that without you, the outside won't turn. I'm not afraid to tell you that as long as the person with your face is there, it doesn't matter if there is a token or not. I can spend it slowly with you. This time, this medicine ...... But it's not so easy to resist the past. When you eat it, it's like being gnawed by an ant, and it hurts and itches all over your body, and the ant seems to be drilling out of your bones. Your limbs are tied, you can't scratch and scratch, you can't scratch and scratch......"

"Beast!" Jin Jia was angry at first, but he didn't know what he thought, and his words changed, and he seemed to say with some emotion: "My Golden Armor token must be passed on to my personal disciple." But I'm only forty years old now, and I haven't accepted disciples yet. But...... As long as my words come out, whoever kills you Luo Guo, I will pass the token to whomever I want, and when the time comes, I don't know how many people will be in a hurry to take your head......"

Lin Yutong and the fourth master glanced at each other, and both of them felt that these words were said to the two of them at all. Because this golden armor may have known about it when the two of them came in.

Luo Guo smiled: "You are really confused, this place has long been abandoned." No one knows you're being held here except me......"

"Yes, yes!" Jin Jia sneered, "How did I forget." However, you can't be cautious, what else will you do but poison? Just the kung fu of the three-legged cat......

"Fart!" Luo Guo suddenly became angry, "Without me all these years, who can cure the injuries of you people, one by one, you have died eight hundred times early." If others don't say it, it's you Jinjia, and Lao Tzu has saved your life three times......"

Lin Yutong said in his heart: This Jin Jia, when he said this, he completely explained the details of this Luo pot to himself and the fourth master.

Thinking of this, she scratched the palm of the fourth master and asked him if he needed to make a move.

The fourth master tapped in Lin Yutong's palm.

Lin Yutong popped out a little powder, which should have fallen around Luo Guo. In the dark light, there is only one oil lamp in the rocky cave, and there is something more underneath, as long as the smell is not big, it is difficult to be found.

This is a master of poisoning, if it weren't for the strong smell of blood here, he really wouldn't dare to poison it so roughly.

Jin Jia did not deny the life-saving grace that Luo Guo said, but said: "We needed a person with excellent medical skills that day, so we came to you...... If you hadn't saved so many lives, how would you have gotten into the center? Saving us is to win our trust, so I really won't be grateful to Dade for your life-saving grace. ”

Luo Guo frowned, "Don't talk nonsense back and forth with me......" he said, he covered his chest violently, and then, he pinched his nose, and then looked around: "Jinjia...... You arranged for someone to sneak attack...... No, not someone you arranged...... Who's coming out ......"

When Luo Guo's eyes looked over here, the fourth master's sleeve arrow shot out at once, and Luo Guo didn't have time to guard at all, and was shot in the shoulder at once. There was an anesthetic on the arrow, and as soon as Luo Guo's hand took out the pill and prepared to detoxify, the person poured it down.

"Little doll, what a good ......," Jin Jia laughed out loud on it. The struggling chains rattled.

The fourth master was about to go out, but Lin Yutong grabbed him. She first threw out a pill, and when the pill hit the stone wall, it exploded with a 'bang', and all the colorful powder was sprinkled on Luo Guo's body at once. The fourth master saw that Luo Guo's hand on his chest became stiff.

Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief, people who are good at using poison have some ability to save their lives, don't look at him fainting, who knows if he has something else in his mouth to dissolve poison, as long as he is still half awake, this person who is close will inevitably encounter his best counterattack.

"It's okay!" Lin Yutong said, stepped forward, used a dagger to cut Luo Guo's clothes apart, and then took them off, leaving him with only a pair of underwear. Then he put all the clothes in the corner and sprinkled them with medicinal powder, which relieved the medicinal properties that might remain in them. Then he took down the oil lamp, lit the garment, and burned it completely.

At this time, the fourth master stared at this pot. I was afraid that I couldn't see clearly, so I held the oil lamp in my hand and looked at it carefully.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yutong asked the fourth master, "Do you know?"

The fourth master shook his head and chuckled: "No." Just to see if he's really hooked. ”

Lin Yutong didn't ask. The fourth master definitely didn't see this, her eyes glanced at Luo Guo's body again, and she didn't find anything, so she only took the fourth master's words, "I must be dizzy." It's okay!" The fourth master probably discovered Luo Guo's identity, but there are outsiders here, so it's inconvenient for him to say.

Only then did the fourth master straighten up and look up, "Senior...... Shall I let you down?"

Jin Jia had been watching the movements of the two just now, but he couldn't guess the identities of these two people more and more. "Who are you? and now you're going to be here?"

The fourth master didn't answer, so Lin Yutong went up the ladder, put it on the person's wrist, checked the pulse, and the look on his face became strange. "The tendons and tendons of the hands and feet have been broken, and the gods are difficult to heal. "Even if he healed his trauma, he would be a cripple who could only be paralyzed in bed from now on. Moreover, there is something hidden in this person's body, which should be the token he is talking about.

Lin Yutong came down and hinted to the fourth master.

Before the fourth master could speak, the golden armor above spoke, "No matter who you are, as long as you help me and my old brothers to get rid of me, I will never treat the two of you badly." I have a lock plate around my neck, use the lock plate to go to the Tianyuan ticket number, and my savings for half of my life are there......"

"Uncle ......," the fourth master suddenly called him.

Lin Yutong was stunned, Jin Jia was even more stunned than Lin Yutong, "You...... Are you a member of the royal family?"

The fourth master sighed: "Jin Chengan is my father. "Jin Chengan is still the emperor's henchman, and this card is still very good here in this Jin Jia, who is loyal to the emperor.

"Jin Cheng'an?" Jin Jia frowned, "Then how did you end up here?" Could it be that your grandfather dared to tell you juniors about the affairs here......

The fourth master's heart jumped, could it be that the grandfather he was talking about was the golden armor of the previous generation? He thought so in his heart, but said on his lips: "I don't know what Uncle Clan means? I only know that someone plundered us and coerced my father. Then, the group was fascinated by a group of fathers-in-law, and we were brought here. I stumbled upon this place and followed the smell of blood......"

"Nonsense!" Jin Jia scolded: "Don't think that I don't know anything here?

"The emperor is not in good health, Prince Duan is in charge of the country, can the clan uncle know about these?"

"What?" Jin Jia's voice was shocked, obviously unaware. Immediately after, he understood the meaning of the words. The emperor is sick, so sick that he has to be in charge of the kingdom. So, isn't it normal for these princes to have other thoughts? His breathing slowly became cramped, and he shouted to the fourth master: "Boy, you come up...... Now it is probably not the emperor's order that is being carried out here. You still have to find a way to escape......" Jin Chengan is too important to the current emperor.

The fourth master nodded at Lin Yutong, and then walked up the ladder.

Lin Yutong watched below, and saw that the fourth master was next to the golden armor, and the golden armor whispered something in the fourth master's ear. She had a vague guess in her heart. The leader of this secret guard should be served by the children of the clan. Passed down from generation to generation. If Jin Chengan's father is the Jin Jia of the previous generation, then the identity of the fourth master is easy to be recognized by Jin Jia.

The two of them were muttering on it for about an hour. The fourth master came down and said to Lin Yutong: "Take some medicine and tell them to go quickly." ”

Lin Yutong sighed and handed a bottle of medicine to the fourth master.

She had already seen it just now, and the iron chain with hooks on it was directly locked to people's wrists and ankles, and now they had grown together. If you want to remove the iron chain, even if you have the tools to sharpen the iron like clay, the hands and feet will have to be broken again. It's too painful to be alive!

When the fourth master came down again, the people above were already out of breath.

Lin Yutong pointed to Luo Guo and asked the fourth master: "This person ...... It's not King Duan's person, it's not King Heng's person, it's Jin Chengan's person, right?"

The fourth master nodded, "...... There is such a person in my memory...... The second brother was sick back then, and his father once brought back a mysterious doctor...... The original child felt better that day, and took Guiwu to go out to the night market from the back corner door at night, and came back late. As soon as he entered the door, he heard footsteps from a distance, so he hid, and saw his father go out with a hunchbacked man in a black cloak. At that time, his hand with a lantern always had a memory, and his nails flashed blue light......" he said, pointing to Luo Guo's shoulders again, "Look at the scars on his body, there is a plum blossom-shaped scar on the left and right shoulders." This kind of scar is also on the housekeeper Liu Wu, and it is also on Shuangshou next to the prince. It should be a status symbol. ”

I see!

"If Jin Chengan's father is Jin Jia of the previous generation, then this person's mind is probably impure. He must have told Jin Chengan about this secret guard. Moreover, during his tenure, he was afraid that he had planned a lot of things for his own family by using power for personal gain. I'm afraid that a lot of the collected news has been intercepted by him and has become a stepping stone for the benefit of his children and grandchildren. Lin Yutong sighed, "So, how did Jin Cheng'an's ambition come about, and why did he have such courage." I'm afraid that all this confidence is because of the understanding of the royal guards and even infiltration......" she said, she raised her head, "That token...... Shall I go up and take it off?"

"Let's put people down first. The fourth master shook his head, "Now the secret guards here urgently need to be cleaned ......up."

Lin Yutong nodded, and handed a dagger made of mutated chicken feet to the fourth master, this thing is an iron cutter, just like cutting tofu.

Put down all the people on top and set them up one by one, "Later...... The outside is cleaned up, and they are well buried. ”

Lin Yutong looked at Luo Guo, "What about this person, he may have seen our faces." ”

"Kill it!" the fourth master snorted, "It's too dangerous to keep it." ”

Lin Yutong went up and stuffed a pill, and didn't get up until he really breathed.

The fourth master had already taken out the pendant token and a small sheepskin from the thigh of the golden armor, and Lin Yutong got up again to stitch up the wound. The two of them got up and hurriedly walked back.

When I got to the house, nothing changed. Lin Yutong put the water tank back in its original place.

The two of them hurriedly boiled water to wash, and the smell of blood and medicine on their bodies was gone. I put the clothes I wore at night into the space, and when I saw that there were no traces of inappropriateness around, I cleaned up the kang.

The fourth master played with the token that had been cleaned up of bloodstains, but a small thing with a length and width was black and shiny, and the word 'golden armor' was engraved on it with an ancient seal. And the sheepskin is the road map of all the secret passages in this mountain. Some are passages that only the Golden Armor can know. "They're out there playing theirs. Let's hold this secret guard in our hands first, and everything will be easy to do. ”

Lin Yutong suddenly remembered: "Before and after, we were in the hands of the emperor, but now it seems that we are actually in the hands of Jin Chengan." Have those exposed faces been made into masks and put on other people's faces......"

The fourth master nodded: "That's right, Jin Jia and his eighteen guards were plotted by Luo Guo with poison, so they were imprisoned." ”

"That'...... The previous generation of the Jin family was Jin Chengan's father, and he secretly had a layer of identity and was the commander of the secret guard. But on the bright side, it is still the grandfather of the country, so this generation of golden armor ...... What is Mingli's identity?" Lin Yutong was very puzzled by this, listening to Luo Guo's words, he had lived in the mountains for half his life. If you want the fourth master to live like this in the future, then don't want this golden armor token.

The fourth master shook his head: "It's not what you think." This golden armor was originally the eldest son of the emperor's concubine, but he was born with a birthmark on his face, covering half of his face...... That's ......"

Lin Yutong knew that the birthmark had always been considered to be a lack of virtue in his previous life, so he was left a mark by Lord Yama. And the royal child, the mark grows on the face, and it covers half of the face, so it really can't get a foothold outside......
