300|Underground Palace 6
"No, it can't be opened!"
The door of the inn was completely sealed, and the sweaty master Gao spent a long time trying to open the door.
The monsters and Ji Li people who were trapped in the inn were a little anxious when they heard this.
They could hear the terrible commotion outside the inn, and they could clearly see that the inn was crumbling, but they still couldn't think of anything that could help them out of this predicament.
The incense that had been burning all day had long since burned out, and the archetypal guests were restlessly climbing and jumping back and forth on the beams and railings, and let out a rapid and high-pitched roar.
For a while, the inn was like a mixed market, and it was very noisy.
The silent Xiuxiu hugged the Spider Niang's legs tightly, and when the timid Spider Niang retreated in fear because of the sudden monster that came nearby, she patted the Spider Niang comfortingly and said, "Spider Niang, don't be afraid, they just jumped nearby." If you keep going backwards like this, we won't be able to look at the situation anymore! β
"Xiu-Xiu-Xiu-" Spider Niang whispered in a panic, "why don't you feel scared?" β
"What's so scary!" Xiuxiu blinked and said directly, "None of the little books and inkstones are afraid!" β
Saying that, she turned her head to look at her side again, and after confirming that the solemn Dongqiao was still guarding the side, she said to the spider girl confidently: "Besides, we still have Dongqiao to protect!" As long as those little monsters dare to rush up, Sister Tsing Yi's clansmen will kill them immediately! β
As she spoke, she danced and gestured to cut monsters, making Spider Niang more and more uneasy.
After peeking around in fright, Spider Niang still cried and said, "I don't want to continue to watch the excitement here, Xiuxiu, let me go!" The adults are still in the room, and I have to protect him-"
Xiuxiu pouted dissatisfiedly, but since Spider Niang asked for it, she could only let go. After watching the spider girl run back to the room, she thought about it and rubbed to Dongqiao's side.
Dongqiao, who was watching Master Gao tinkering with the gate, felt Xiuxiu's approach, so he looked down at her without saying a word.
"I'm a little scared to stand alone." Xiuxiu, who didn't want to be alone, said as she reached out and grabbed the hem of Dongqiao's clothes.
Higashibashi didn't refuse, but for other reasons, he pulled the hem of his clothes back and wrapped his hand around Xiuxiu's shoulder instead.
Xiuxiu didn't have a mustard at all, so naturally she leaned on Dongqiao's sturdy arm to watch Master Gao busy.
After another failed to pry the door, the somewhat discouraged master Gao angrily threw down the sharp knife in his hand and scolded: "My Ge Laozi, when did this door become so difficult to open?" It's all wasted Lao Tzu's dozen sharp weapons, and it hasn't been opened yet! β
As he spoke, he got angry again, and without thinking about it, he raised his foot and kicked the door a few times.
I could only hear a click, and the crumbling felt curtain finally couldn't bear it and fell off. Only the seemingly ordinary gate still stands there.
The monsters who looked up at the sound found that the door of the inn was still solid, and after making a movement was only a broken curtain, they all let out a sad cry of disappointment.
Master Gao, who was also happy with Bai Huan, was even more annoyed, and Bai Bai's chubby belly also rose and fell violently.
However, it is useless to be angry after all, and listening to the movement that has just come from outside, I am afraid that the situation is already so bad that it cannot be worse.
The more the worried master Gao thought about it, the more anxious he became, and immediately smacked the door viciously, and then raised his head and shouted: "Suxi-Suxi-Suxi-come out and open the door!" β
But no matter what Master Gao called, Su Xi never appeared.
Master Gao sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned his head to Xiuxiu and shouted, "Xiuxiu, where is your sister?" Where did she go? Why didn't she react at all when it was so critical? β
Xiuxiu, who was questioned, tilted her head and blinked her eyes to recall, and then said innocently: "My sister has already gone out with a lantern." β
"What?" Master Gao jumped to his feet in disbelief and said, "How could she get out?" She's a ghost, she's still a ghost who sells herself to an inn, except for the inn, she can't go anywhere! β
ββ¦β¦ My sister is ...... That's how you got out! Xiuxiu, who couldn't answer, could only repeat, "When the inn shook so badly, she floated out of the gate directly with a lantern, I think she went to pick up Sister Tsing Yi-"
"What Tsing Yi is on!" Master Gao beat his chest and said, "Your sister in Tsing Yi is very powerful now, and there is a Hei Saburo to protect her, where can you still use your sister!" Suxi, Suxi! Instead of helping the girl in Tsing Yi, you might as well come to help Lao Tzu! How good is that? How do you open this broken door! β
Before he had finished complaining, the whole inn shook again.
The monster that was clinging to the corner of the roof was accidentally thrown off.
The tables, chairs, and utensils in the lobby were all staggered, and several of the deadly monsters screamed at the heavy objects rolling back and forth, so that they could only collapse in place unconsciously, and let the other frightened guys step on it.
Master Gao grabbed the door bolt and refused to let go. He was born with big shoulders and a thick waist, coupled with the dry body work of killing pigs and cattle in the back kitchen every day, his strength is great. The beams of the inn's staggering room were crooked, and they couldn't shake off Master Gao, who was clinging to the door.
Compared with the monsters who have nowhere to stabilize their bodies, the people of Ji Li seem much more comfortable.
Like Spider Niang, they used their own demon ropes to weave several large webs in the railings and corridors, and whenever the inn was in turmoil, they could wait until the inn was stable again.
The demons looked at them with fear and envy, and when the turmoil in the inn was at its most violent, a few bold monsters finally couldn't help but jump into the net of the people of Ji Li.
"Yo, a big meal delivered to your door!" The clansmen did not refuse to pinch the key points of the monsters, and reached out to touch their fat and thin, and finally said with satisfaction, "It is worthy of being a monster that has been raised in the inn for a long time, and it feels really oily and slippery." Turn around and kill Ah Lang and the little lady to make up for their bodies! β
As he spoke, they sighed and said, "It's a pity that Ah Lang won't let us go out hunting, otherwise we can catch some better prey for them." I don't know how Ah Lang is doing now? He's not in good shape! What if the little lady goes crazy again? β
"Instead of worrying here, you might as well help me open this door!" When Master Gao, who was deaf and clear-sighted, heard their conversation, he immediately jumped to his feet and urged, "What about those Fei family members who are pretending?" Call out for help! I can tell you in advance, the owner of this inn is very powerful, maybe when you are discussing making supplements, your Ah Lang will have an accident-"
"Crow's mouth, you dare to say one more thing!" The clansmen couldn't hear Wen Yu being cursed by others, and immediately jumped down from the second floor with angry faces.
Master Gao raised his stomach without fear, and then raised his eyebrows and said: "As long as this door is opened, you will know whether Lao Tzu's words are false or true!" β
The clansmen looked at each other, and then they didn't say much, just rolled up their sleeves and buried themselves in hard work.
I don't know how this gate was done, a bunch of people took turns to fight, smashing and dragging and knocking and tossing for a long time, but they still failed to open it.
Everyone was anxious, only to feel that the inn was steaming and stuffy. So everyone took off their shirts in unison, and continued to work hard with a short bare line.
Dongqiao originally wanted to step forward, but was pulled by Xiuxiu. When he turned around in confusion, he saw Xiuxiu with a serious face: "Xiuxiu knows that there is a place to go out." β
Dongqiao was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Where?" β
"Follow me!" Xiuxiu yelled and dragged Dongqiao's clothes and pulled him downstairs.
Everyone in the lobby slammed on the door, but no one noticed that Dongqiao followed Xiuxiu all the way into the small warehouse next to the kitchen.
Dongqiao watched in surprise as Xiuxiu took off the lantern on the inside of the warehouse door and lit it, and led him into the depths of the deep and cramped warehouse.
After walking a few steps, Xiuxiu took out a bag from her sleeve and threw it directly on the ground in front of Dongqiao.
After the faint click sound, the ground suddenly moved.
"This isβ" Looking at the entrance to the tunnel that slowly appeared, Higashibashi was surprised, "How did you know about this place?" β
"Mr. Bookkeeper sues me." Xiuxiu said directly without much scheming, "A while ago, he always brought Xiuxiu here to play hide and seek, but Xiuxiu always couldn't find him, so he felt bored and said he wouldn't continue to play with him." When he saw that I was angry, he quietly told SΓΉ Xiuxiu that he was hiding here! Xiuxiu has tried to explore a few times, and she can go to a place far away from the inn! β
Dongqiao is such an ignorant and simple little doll as Xiuxiu, what the bookkeeper did was full of loopholes when he heard it, but he was afraid that the other party did it on purpose, and deliberately lured Xiuxiu to come and told her about this tunnel.
Because he couldn't figure out whether the other party was friend or foe, Dongqiao didn't dare to go down rashly for a while.
But the naΓ―ve Xiuxiu didn't know Dongqiao's concerns, she used a lantern to light up the tunnel, and then pulled Dongqiao and said: "Dongqiao, you have to be righteous!" Sister Tsing Yi can't be told about this place, otherwise she will definitely be angry if she knows that I sneak out to play! There are other people who can't say it, and the bookkeeper said that this place is a little secret for the two of us, and you can't just tell anyone else! β
Dongqiao was quite helpless when he heard this. Thinking about it, Xiuxiu is not such a scheming person, and she is young, so there is also the possibility of inadvertently leaking her mouth.
Thinking about this, he could only sigh and say, "Then who else did you tell besides me?" β
Xiuxiu blinked a few times, and then said uncertainly: "Except for you, there is only Long Long, right?" β
