Chapter Ninety-Four: Ziyuan Defies the Sky
The power of Zi Yuan Gong against the sky made Ma Lie's confidence soar, and a pair of fleshy palms cut melons and vegetables, digging and pounding, the hard stone bricks turned into powder, and soon smashed out a hole that allowed people to enter and exit. 『』
In order to hide the hole, Ma Lie patiently sorted out the mud and sand that had been dug out and moved the bed back to its original position.
After making sure that there was no one inside or outside the dark room, he slipped through the freshly dug hole, with a serpentine body, and came to another dark room.
This dark room is about the same size as the dark room where he used to be, and the furnishings in the room are basically the same, but the room is damp and a layer of dust is clearly visible, which shows that this dark room has not been inhabited for a long time.
Ma Lie's see-through eyes casually swept around, determining the location of the bodyguards in charge of guarding and Jiang Shen. He dug another hole and went to another uninhabited dark room.
The basement of Hangjia Castle is very extensive, including three longitudinal corridors and six rows of dark rooms connected to each other. Under the cover of darkness at night, Ma Lie smashed out three or four holes one after another with the palms of his hands, opening up four or five dark rooms, and the one connected to Jiang Shen next door was one step away.
"Whew!"
After working for most of the night, Ma Lie felt that the true qi in his body was depleted for a while, and he was almost at the end of his strong crossbow. At the same time, it affects the play of the perspective eye and the downwind ear.
Fortunately, he had already come to a dark room next door to Jiang Shen. As long as he smashed a hole, he could get into the dark room where Jiang Shen was being held.
After resting for a while, Ma Lie regathered some of his true qi, and was about to find a place to continue making holes, when there was a faint sound of footsteps in the corridor outside.
Ma Lie's true qi was depleted, and although Shunfeng Ear was not as sensitive as before, in the quiet night, the footsteps outside the corridor still came to his ears clearly.
He gave up digging the hole, listened for a while, and made sure that there should be two people outside, and he didn't know who it was and what the purpose of coming there was in the middle of the night.
Ma Lie consumed a little Ziyuan True Qi, and his see-through eyes passed through the wall, and he saw two men in black coats, talking softly towards this side.
As they approached, Ma Lie quickly recognized one of them as Hang Tianxiong. The other man was about forty years old, short and stocky, with a sallow face and a bare head.
In Ma Lie's impression, this bald man was a little familiar.
When they got closer, Ma Lie finally recognized the bald man as this afternoon, and when he monitored Hang Tianxiong with his clairvoyant eyes, he found that he was very close to Hang Tianxiong.
Listening to their conversation, Ma Lie remembered that the bald man's surname was Jiang, and he should be one of the six major families.
In the middle of the night, these two men came to this basement together, and coincidentally, they stopped at the door of Ma Lie's room.
Ma Lie didn't know the purpose of the two men coming here late at night, and when he saw the two standing at the door, he mistakenly thought that they might want to come in, so he quietly retreated to a corner of the dark room and hid it under the cover of the bed.
A thick man's hesitant voice sounded outside the door: "Brother Hang, that person...?" ”
"Brother Jiang, it's all this time, you still don't believe me?" Hang Tianxiong replied slowly.
The bald man surnamed Jiang was surprised: "Brother Xiong, don't get me wrong, I mean that person's martial arts are not trivial, a few days ago, my eldest brother Jiang Yu and Brother Lu, Gu Xian's nephew and other seven or eight masters were not his opponents, how did Brother Hang catch him?" ”
Hang Tianxiong said proudly: "Hehe, no matter who it is, as long as he is a person, he has his own weaknesses, the only difference is what." I was lucky enough to catch him on one of his fatal weaknesses and get caught alive. ”
The bald man praised: "Brother Hang, you are really powerful, this traitor has defected for many years, but the old man has always been unable to deal with him, I didn't expect Brother Hang to capture him as soon as he made a move, haha, my Jiang family is finally expected to be revitalized." ”
Hang Tianxiong smiled faintly and said: "Brother Jiang, don't be too happy, it's not difficult to capture him, the difficult thing is how to find the part of Zi Yuan Gong in his hand, without Zi Yuan Gong, not only your Jiang family, but even the six major families will be finished together." ”
"Also, this traitor must be soft and hard now, right?"
"Well, it's a hard bone, and the reduction of medicinal power makes his strength recover extremely quickly, unless you kill him, ordinary people can't get close to him."
"Ah, what are we going to do then?"
"We only have one day, and if we wait for his strength to recover, all the defenses of the entire castle will not be able to withstand it!"
"Damn traitor, why didn't you die sooner, Brother Hang has always been far-sighted, what else can be done now!"
"Hmm. That's exactly why I called Brother Jiang tonight! As he spoke, Hang Tianxiong took out a key and opened the door of the room where Ma Lie was.
Ma Lie, who was hiding behind the cushions of the bed, was suddenly taken aback, and guessed that these two people were coming in. Fortunately, the light in the dark room was pitch black, and if they hadn't turned on the lights, Ma Lie shouldn't have been detected.
Once the light was turned on, Ma Lie hid behind the mattress, as long as Hang Tianxiong and the others didn't look around, he might be able to hide for a while. However, the hole he had dug from the next door was exposed.
The most important thing is that he has always had bad luck and does not have much hope for it. Looking forward to Hang Tianxiong not turning on the lights, it is better to be ready to fight back with Hang Tianxiong.
What made him lack confidence was the Ziyuan True Qi in his body, which seemed to be insufficient.
Just now, five wall holes were dug in a row, which made the power loss of Ziyuan in the body too strict. At this time, Ma Lie is almost like a normal person, once he is discovered by Hang Tianxiong, Ma Lie is one against two, and there are many bodyguards outside the door to encircle him, Ma Lie's chances of winning are slim.
But at this time, he didn't have time to think about it, Hang Tianxiong led the bald man to the dark room, he could only hope that God would bring him good luck.
"Brother Hang, where is this?"
Facing this dark room, the bald man was obviously a little frightened, and he couldn't speak very well.
Hang Tianxiong said: "Brother Jiang, don't be afraid, that old guy is next door!" ”
The bald man said dumbly: "He's next door, so why is there no sound, could it be dead?" ”
Hang Tianxiong sneered: "He wouldn't choose to commit suicide unless he had to, otherwise he wouldn't have persevered for so many years." ”
The bald man said: "Well, that traitor has a grudge against my Jiang clan, and over the years, he has not been looking for opportunities to seek revenge. Once, the old man almost died at his hands. ”
Hearing the conversation between the two, Ma Lie basically guessed that the traitor mentioned by the bald man repeatedly and four times was undoubtedly Jiang Shen. The grievances between Jiang Shen and the Jiang family, Ma Lie heard some from Jiang Shen's self-report.
For the rights of the family, the inheritance of Zi Yuangong, the mutilation of his brother, the death of his brother and sister-in-law, standing in Jiang Shen's position, the Jiang family's approach back then was indeed a loss of conscience, not even as good as pigs and dogs.
In the eyes of bald men, Jiang Shen is a despicable and shameless traitor. However, only the authorities know who is right and who is wrong, and there is only one truth of the matter.
Seeing the two of them walking in in the dark, fortunately, Hang Tianxiong didn't seem to be looking for the light switch, but was making a box in place.
While gathering Ziyuan True Qi, Ma Lie observed and pondered what bad ideas Hang Tianxiong was playing.
The bald man was also curious, and asked, "Brother Hang, what are you doing, why don't you turn on the lights?" ”
Hang Tianxiong said in a low voice: "Brother Jiang, be quiet, that old guy has a very sensitive sense of smell and hearing, and I heard that he also has a perspective eye, if we turn on the light and come out, won't he see it?" ”
The bald man suddenly said: "Yes, I heard the old man say that the part of the Ziyuan Gong held by that traitor does have the ability of clairvoyance. ”
Hang Tianxiong said: "Well, he didn't eat or drink for a day, so he should have fallen asleep." That's when we went in. ”
The bald man asked, "How are we going to get in?" ”
Hang Tianxiong said: "It depends on this." As he spoke, he shook what he was holding, then took out a lighter, lit it on his hand, and a flash of light burned rapidly, like a gunpowder primer, making a snorting sound.
A faint aroma began to spread through the dark room. Hearing their conversation, Ma Lie realized that the thing in Hang Tianxiong's hand was definitely not a good thing, it was said to be used against Jiang Shen, and he didn't know what it was.
Ma Lie's Zi Yuan Gong and Jiang Shen are in the same vein, and if they inhale this aroma, they will be infected if they are not good.
In order to prevent accidents, he instinctively held his breath and quietly waited for the opportunity.
At this time, the bald man also smelled the faint aroma and asked curiously, "What kind of smell is this?" ”
Hang Tianxiong said: "Ten fragrant soft tendons. ”
The bald man was surprised: "Ah, the ten incense soft tendons are scattered, isn't it your Hang's unique anti-gong medicine?" ”
Hang Tianxiong groped for a while, opened a secret compartment from the front wall, and then put the things in his hand into the dark compartment, and said proudly: "That's right, but it's not unique to the Hang family, but unique to me Hang Wu." ”
"Hehe, Brother Jiang, in the future, we will have to deal with those six old men, and it will all depend on it."
"Ah, Brother Hang is really thoughtful, but we also smell it."
"Don't worry, didn't I treat you to a cup of tea before I came in?"
"Oh, there's an antidote in the tea?"
Hearing these words of the two, Ma Lie suddenly realized, and at the same time realized Hang Tianxiong's insidiousness and ambition. Considering that he had not taken the antidote, Ma Lie hurriedly covered his nose with his palm, trying not to smell the faint aroma.
Listening to Hang Tianxiong's own explanation just now, this kind of Ten Spice Soft Tendon Powder is his special medicine, and it is specially used to deal with people who practice the Ziyuan Gong Method.
Jiang Shen has strong martial arts and close whereabouts, but he was accidentally captured by him, and it is very likely that he was hit by the ten-incense soft tendon in his hand. From this point of view, Hang Tianxiong has been peeking at Ziyuan Divine Skill and the planning of the six major families for a long time.
In addition to being surprised, Ma Lie was also secretly happy. If he hadn't hidden here in advance, he might not have known that Hang Tianxiong still had this magical drug in his hand, once he used it on himself, if it wasn't good, Ma Lie might have been toyed with by him in applause
