Chapter 110: The Iron Cage in the Basement
On the day they returned to the Nameless Pavilion, Zheng Zhengqing and the Poison Saint came to Red Lotus's room and knocked the meat bun unconscious.
Red Lotus's body has been much better under the careful care of Gan Miaomei and Pei Hanyi.
"It's too much! I'm going to kill that wicked woman right now!" Pei Hanyi said indignantly. Gan Miaomei pressed Pei Hanyi with her hand and said, "Don't be impulsive, let's listen to what your master has to say first." ”
Red Lotus looked at her junior brother Zheng Zhengqing and said: "If you are injured, you will stay in the Nameless Pavilion, I will take Miaomei and Hanyi to the Valley of Love Flowers to find medicine, that Madame Butterfly left her lair, and now there is no backbone in it, we take the opportunity to enter, maybe we can find the medicine to save the meat buns." ”
The Poison Saint agreed and said, "That's right, I think so too, as long as the meat bun is cured, none of us will have to be threatened by Madame Butterfly, and we can clean her up as much as we want when the time comes." ”
"Then without further ado, let's leave at once." Pei Hanyi said excitedly.
"Okay, let me lead the way, otherwise you will be easily fascinated by the gossip array in Love Flower Valley, and only I can tell if what you find is the medicine you need for meat buns." After the poison saint finished speaking, he and everyone simply packed up some things and prepared to set off.
Zheng Zhengqing also wanted to go very much, but he knew that his injury was not light, and reluctantly getting on the road would only become a drag on everyone, so he had to stay in the Nameless Pavilion.
Under the leadership of the Poison Saint, Red Lotus, Gan Miaomei and Pei Hanyi entered the Valley of Love Flowers very smoothly.
The group came to the outside of Madame Butterfly's ancient house. The housekeeper from last time saw that it was a poison saint and immediately closed the door.
"Open the door quickly, don't make your master unhappy, otherwise I will demolish your place!" Pei Hanyi shouted loudly.
No one in the house agreed, and Pei Hanyi flew over the wall with a swallow. Except for the Poison Saint, everyone else is a master, how can a small door be stopped?
However, with one move, Pei Hanyi knocked the housekeeper to the ground. His feet stepped on this obscene butler who wanted to sneak up on him with poison powder just now.
"Yo, I still want to sneak attack me, blind your dog's eyes, and take us to Madame Butterfly's pharmacy, otherwise I'll kill you now." Pei Hanyi's gaze stared tightly at the man in front of him who was afraid of death.
"Don't, don't, sir...... You raise your noble hand, the little one is wrong, I will take you there immediately...... ...... immediately" As soon as he finished speaking, he was picked up from the ground by Pei Hanyi.
"Lead the way, don't play tricks on me!" Pei Hanyi warned him.
They escorted the housekeeper all the way, and the guards in the courtyard saw that the housekeeper was in their hands, and they didn't dare to act rashly, so they had to follow all the way.
A few timid maids were so frightened that they fled back to the room and did not dare to come out again.
"Why is it getting darker and darker?" The poison saint looked around uneasily, and followed this housekeeper all the way to the basement?
Gan Miaomei saw that the surrounding environment was damp and gloomy, was such a place suitable for placing medicinal herbs?
When they were secretly pondering, the butler suddenly fell, and Pei Hanyi was reaching out to pull him, but he heard two clicks on the top of his head. It turned out that the housekeeper deliberately fell and took the opportunity to activate the trap mechanism in the corner.
Red Lotus shouted: "Hurry up, there is a mechanism!" ”
A huge iron cage slammed down from above, locking several of them inside.
The housekeeper man patted the dust on his body, stood up and laughed: "Just because a few of you want to come here to make trouble, I'll starve you for a few days, and when Madame Butterfly comes back, the men will be arrested to test the medicine, and the women, hehe, it's cheap for us people." ”
After speaking, he looked at Red Lotus and Gan Miaomei and let out a lewd laugh.
"Bastard!" Pei Hanyi slammed the iron cage hard. Gan Miaomei smiled coldly, and with a flick of her right hand, a flying swallow dart flew out through the narrow gap in the iron cage.
The lewd butler's smile immediately stiffened on his face, and the delphinium dart plunged straight into his throat. His eyes widened in surprise, and he pointed at Gan Miaomei with a trembling hand and said, "You...... You ......"
No one knew what he wanted to say anymore, because he had turned into a corpse.
Red Lotus and Pei Hanyi tried to open the iron cage, but found that it was extremely heavy and there was no way to open it.
Pei Hanyi's long sword slashed hard, and only saw sparkling fireworks, but the iron cage was intact.
"Oops, what can I do?" The poison saint looked around with a headache, this is obviously a basement, if he is really trapped here, it is estimated that no one will find out if he starves to death.
"Don't worry, let's think about it." Red Lotus simply sat on the ground, her hand holding Gan Miaomei tightly. Gan Miaomei smiled softly at her: "I'm not afraid, but I'm worried...... Our delay...... Meat bun she ......"
It was getting dark, and several hours had passed, and there was still nothing anyone could do.
Seeing that the surroundings were starting to get dark, Pei Hanyi took out a fire fold from his arms, and this time the cage was much brighter.
Seeing the light of the fire fold, the poison saint immediately became excited. "I've got a way!"
He found a corner of the iron cage and said to Pei Hanyi: "Come, quickly burn this place with a fire fold." ”
Red Lotus said with some puzzlement: "Poison Saint, just such a small fire breaker, there is no way to melt the iron. ”
"I have a strong corrosive poison in my body, and it will only be effective when it encounters something hot, and it can only be tried when it is tried." The Poison Saint replied.
Pei Hanyi focused on burning the same place, but it didn't take long for the fire to burn out, and everyone looked at the poison saint intently, and he was carefully pouring a bottle of potion in his arms into the iron cage that had just been hot.
A strong stench immediately emanated from the air, and a hissing sound immediately emanated from the iron cage where the poisoned water was poured.
The poisonous water quickly corroded the iron cage, and everyone saw that the iron cage was quickly melted open with a hole that was not too big or small.
"The iron pieces around this hole are already soft, which means you can try it with your sword now." As soon as the poison saint finished speaking, Pei Hanyi stabbed a few times with his long sword.
Sure enough, a large piece of iron fell, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
As soon as they came out of the iron cage, they prepared to walk out of the basement.
Suddenly, Red Lotus stopped, and she listened attentively: "Don't go out yet, I heard someone calling in the depths of the basement." ”
Gan Miaomei nodded and said, "Yes, I heard it too, let's go see what's going on." ”
"Okay." Pei Hanyi and the Poison Saint said in unison.
The four of them slowly made their way deeper into the basement, and it was already completely dark outside. Fortunately, a few candles were found in the basement, and everyone walked in slowly with candles lit.
