The warehouse, which was always full of clutter, had long since been cleaned up, and the flickering lanterns swirled gently on the roof of the warehouse, as if there was a leak in the warehouse. Everywhere the light goes, there are countless animal skins hanging on the mottled walls, which looks like a hunter's dwelling.
Tsing Yi, who was in charge of guiding the way, walked in front with a glazed tile lantern, and the light illuminated the road under her feet.
Hei Saburo silently stayed by Tsing Yi's side, and when the group of staggering guests muttered to follow, he reached out and gently hooked his fingers at the door of the warehouse, and closed the door with magic.
After Tsing Yi squinted his eyes and looked around carefully, he whispered to Hei Saburo: "The entrance is still inside, let's take a few more steps to see." β
"You can't remember the place?" Hei Saburo was keenly aware of the uncertainty in Tsing Yi's words, so he took her hand and said, "Do you want me to walk ahead?" β
"It's okay, it's just that I haven't been gone for a long time." Tsing Yi smiled back and said, "The entrance changes from time to time, but I can't get out of this warehouse, I'll take a look at it more." β
As she spoke, she lifted her foot and took another step forward.
She only heard a click, as if she had stepped on something, and felt a slimy piece under her feet.
"Don't move!" Hei Saburo, who was nervous in Tsing Yi, immediately hugged Tsing Yi's waist and said urgently, "There is blood, you just stepped on the Yin Worship Insect, this thing loves to suck the Yin Qi of living creatures, since there is one here, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no second one, wait until I find it out and kill it!" β
Tsing Yi hurriedly grabbed Hei Saburo and said, "I found the entrance!" β
"Where?" Hei Saburo was especially worried about the yin worship insect who didn't know where to hide, and he kept looking around there.
"Right at my feet." Tsing Yi took a deep breath and tried to calm down, "But it's only a crack, let's take a step back and take a look." β
As he spoke, Kurosaburo had already grabbed her waist and stepped back.
However, the entrance to the tunnel that should have been opened did not open as Tsing Yi remembered. Tsing Yi and Hei Saburo waited for a moment, but they didn't hear any movement.
Tsing Yi couldn't help but wonder, in the past, as soon as she entered the warehouse, the entrance to the tunnel would automatically open, why was it so abnormal today? It's not because she brought Kurosaburo here, right?
"Hey-" The guests, who had waited for a long time and had not made any progress, couldn't help but riot again, they climbed crookedly on the walls and beams, and complained while picking at the walls, "Senior brother, didn't you say it would be soon?" β
"That's exactly what the prince said, you just need someone to lead you to the placeβ" the white-haired old man muttered with his tongue wide, "I'm going to askβ"
As he spoke, he staggered towards Tsing Yi and Hei Saburo.
Tsing Yi was about to open his mouth to explain, but Hei Saburo on the side had already said coldly: "The entrance is on the ground, if you want to go, you can go at this time!" β
Hearing this, everyone rushed to the ground, as if there was gold on the ground, and they couldn't wait to touch the ground inch by inch with their hands.
As soon as two of them touched the entrance that had only opened a crack just now, they exclaimed excitedly: "Senior brother, I found it!"
"But why is this entrance so small?" The old man touched the crack of the ground with his hand, but he felt that the crack was so small that he couldn't even stuff a finger into it, so how could he pass people? So he raised his head and asked with a puzzled heart, "Tsing Yi, why don't you open the door soon?" β
Tsing Yi naturally wanted to open the door, but she didn't know how to open the door, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
Just when she had a headache, Hu Ji's voice suddenly came from below: "Tsing Yi, you stretch out your hand." β
Tsing Yi glanced at Hei Saburo for some reason, and seeing Hei Saburo's calm face and unhappy face, she leaned close to Hei Saburo's ear and whispered, "I'm afraid you're going to open the tunnel key for me, right?" If you're not at ease, we'll reach out together. β
Hei Saburo pondered for a moment, but he glanced at the person who was groping the ground indiscriminately, and motioned for the other party to take over on his behalf.
I don't know what the pedestrian is thinking in his heart, but he was overjoyed to get the hint from Hei Saburo. They lined up in a row and put their hands on the cracks in the ground, their eyes full of excitement.
Then one of the little ladies suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "The key is in the palm of my hand!" Treat meβ"
When the people on the side heard this, their faces were overjoyed, and they saw that the little lady who claimed to have received the key suddenly shriveled up and collapsed at an incredible speed!
The two closest to the little lady screamed and rolled to the side, and all of them woke up in a moment when they were drunk.
At the same time, the entrance to the tunnel, which could not be opened alive or dead, suddenly opened, and the Taoist priests who had not had time to avoid it only had time to show a frightened expression, and fell straight to the ground.
Tsing Yi, who was a little far away, was stunned to see this qiΔ happen in front of him, but Hei Saburo looked very calm with an expressionless face.
"What's the matter with the little lady?" Tsing Yi whispered in disbelief, "Hu Ji...... Orchids shouldn't hurt me......"
"It's a yin worship worm." Kurosaburo sneered and said, "I also said that why I want you to lead the way, that's why." I think it was Orchid who used the Yin Worship Worm as the key to open the tunnel. This demon insect loves to lurk in the dark and live on the yin energy in living objects. It's just that the creatures in the world, if they are not exceptional, can only survive if they are in harmony with yin and yang. If the monster is hit, it's just that, you can make up for the lost yin qi for a few days, and if it's an ordinary mortal, you'll end up like that little lady. You are the body of the yin, and the yin qi on your body is not as good as the monsters, plus the orchid specially got you Qionghua Yulu to protect you, so the yin worship insect can open the door of the tunnel by sucking a little yin qi. Now that they're all in, what are we going to do? β
"Go on." Tsing Yi said decisively, "I have to send them halfway, and then the orchid will take them herself." β
Hei Saburo had the heart to find out, and when he heard this, he had no objection, so he immediately grabbed Tsing Yi's waist and jumped into the tunnel.
The tunnel was dark and there was nothing to be seen, only the scolding and scolding cries of the guests echoed one after another. Then the glazed tile lamp, Tsing Yi vaguely saw that Hu Ji was standing motionless underneath.
"You're coming a little slowly." Hu Ji ignored the screaming guests in his footsteps, and only looked at Tsing Yi with a smile and said, "Next time you look for the entrance, you must remember not to let others touch you, otherwise I will step on a Yin Worship worm next time, and I will not be able to hand you the key here." β
Hu Ji's words couldn't be more clear, and he was in line with Hei Saburo's explanation. It's just that Tsing Yi is most puzzled that Hu Ji didn't react when she saw Hei Saburo, obviously not long ago, she looked like she was going to fight Hei Saburo to the end.
Also puzzled was Kurosaburo, who squinted at Orchid's peerless face, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the other party was secretly calculating something.
However, before he could see anything, Hu Ji had already turned around and began to lead the way: "Those who still want to trade with me should follow quickly, if you miss tonight, you will want to come again in the future, but it is impossible!" β
As soon as the guests, who were still wailing, heard this, they immediately got up from the ground. Among them, some of them broke their hands and feet, and they casually put a few talismans on themselves, and limped closely behind Orchid.
Hei Saburo looked around thoughtfully, and after confirming that there was no danger, he pulled Tsing Yi and followed far behind.
It was pitch black in the tunnel, but the more people walked inside, the brighter their vision became. When he arrived at the place where Tsing Yi had to stop in the past, Tsing Yi subconsciously grabbed Hei Saburo, who wanted to continue moving forward, and said, "Let's go back...... It would be nice to send it here......"
"There's nothing to see here." Hei Saburo said in a thoughtful whisper, "But I vaguely felt an extremely heavy force lurking in front of me, and I didn't expect that there was such a thing under the inn." β
"But it's dangerous ahead." Tsing Yi grabbed Hei Saburo's arm uneasily and said, "This inn is weird and weird, I've been here for so many years, and there are still good places I don't know much, Hu Ji She is most familiar with this place, since she said that it is not safe in front, then we should take less risks and subtle." β
There is another sentence that Tsing Yi didn't say directly, she only hopes to get the ransom money for herself and Hei Saburo as much as possible, and she really doesn't want to touch other dangerous things.
Hei Saburo glanced at Tsing Yi silently, and saw Tsing Yi looking at him with worried eyes, he thought about it and reassured: "Don't be afraid, there is me." Moreover, I think the orchid is deliberately luring us in this time. β
"How so?" Tsing Yi glanced back in a little surprise, and when she saw Orchid stop and wait for them to follow, her surprise was even greater.
"The best way to dispel fear is to remove the veil of the unknown that stands in front of you." Hei Saburo quietly hugged Tsing Yi tightly, and said very calmly, "If you know what you are about to face, how to deal with it, and how to get something valuable to you from it, you will not be afraid anymore." Moreover, I will be by your side in the future, you don't have to be afraid of anything, just take a good look at how I protect you. Because, I'm the most powerful monster. β
"When I was young, I also thought that my father and brother were the most powerful, but when they encountered evil spirits, their strength became the most dangerous existence for themselves." Tsing Yi couldn't help but hug Hei Saburo tightly and sighed, "The way of heaven has always been fair, it not only gives the people of Ji Li the power to surpass mortals, but also gives the people of Ji Li the tribulation that mortals can't bear. I know you're very powerful, but I'm reluctant to see you get hurt for me. β
"There are very few in this world that can hurt me." Hei Saburo laughed proudly, "If I am really injured, how can the other party be safe and sound?" What's more, the demon world is the law of the jungle, and it is not easy to practice, if it weren't for the impatience of life, the general monsters would not dare to come to challenge me. You just have to rest assured. β
As he spoke, he smiled at the orchid, as if the impatient youkai he had just spoken of was referring specifically to the orchid.
Receiving Kurosaburo's provocation, the orchid suddenly showed animal pupils, and several snow-white fox tails were about to emerge from under her skirt.
The guests who followed behind the orchid were so frightened by the fox's tail that they all changed their faces, and one of them even shouted: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Big brother, look! She's an eight-tailed fox! βγ
