Chapter 15: Into the Tiger's Mouth

Entering the small building, Lin Rui suddenly had a very uncomfortable feeling in his heart, this hall gave himself a strong sense of incongruity, Lin Rui looked around the hall on the first floor, only to see that the interior of the hall of this small building was very luxurious, in addition to the exquisite murals inside the hall, the hall was also covered with a thick carpet, and there was a huge treasure bottle on the wall on both sides of the entrance, and the treasure bottle did not know what to put in the bottle, so that the huge bottle mouth emitted a faint red light. And on the opposite wall of the gate is pasted a huge ink painting, the content of the painting is a huge flame beast descending the mountain, the picture is lifelike, the two eyes of the flame beast are painted and staring at the direction of the gate wide, staring at the direction of the gate, the whole painting looks extraordinary, although Lin Rui does not have much personal art appreciation, and also feels that this painting is by no means made by ordinary painters, and at the same time, Lin Rui knows that such an evil beast as the flame beast, ordinary people and even nobles will not hang at home, Most of the people who like to hang evil beasts are gangsters and martial artists of evil sects, forgers and alchemists who advocate evil methods.

Lin Rui couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is really not an ordinary small house, although he doesn't know where the sense of incongruity comes from when he comes in, but at the moment it is important to save people, he doesn't plan to investigate carefully, seeing that there is no one in the hall on the first floor, when he was about to go up to the second floor, he found an extremely strange thing, there is no stairs to go up to the second floor!

Lin Rui took a closer look, and finally understood where the very strong sense of incongruity came from when he entered the door: as a building that seemed to occupy a fairly large area and had two floors from the outside, the sense of space in the hall on the first floor was completely inconsistent with the feeling that Lin Rui had just seen outside, and he felt that the internal space was much smaller.

Sure enough, there was a problem, no wonder the guards on the first floor all ran out to put out the fire without leaving anyone in the hall, this narrow hall itself didn't need too many guards, of course, they all ran out to put out the fire, and more importantly, Lin Rui judged that there must be a secret passage leading to the second floor, which should be the place where Ouyang Ziwei is imprisoned, and it is also the place where the guards really need to be guarded!

Damn, where the hell is this tunnel? If you can't find the secret passage right away, after those people put out the fire outside, you won't have a chance to come in, let alone rescue Ouyang Ziwei, but there is nothing special about this hall except for those exquisite furniture, vases and paintings.

Damn, Lin Rui thought that when he and Ouyang Ziwei were separated, the other party and himself had become friends in distress, and said that they would take care of each other, they had been in Shuiyue Palace for so many years, and it was rare to meet someone who regarded him as a friend, and they had gone through hardships together, and now he knew that his friend was locked up, but he couldn't help, was he really such a waste material? At this time, Lin Rui had already been accustomed to his waste body because of the ridicule and countless failures of the people around him for many years, but his indifferent heart could no longer be calm! He had never hated his own wasted body so much, hated the damn prohibition! If he has the strength of Tang Yuan, he can even directly catch the guys outside and force them to open the entrance of the dark passage! Thinking that he couldn't help this only friend, Lin Rui's heart became extremely anxious, and a lot of sweat broke out on his forehead, Lin Rui even had the urge to completely destroy this hall, draw out those guards in the secret passage, and fight with them!

At this time, Lin Rui suddenly remembered that when he and Ouyang Ziwei met for the first time, he was dissuaded by the other party when he was recklessly about turning over the water pipe, and what Ouyang Ziwei said to himself when he took him away, "Sometimes, you can't just rely on brute force!" ”

Thinking of this, Lin Rui's anxious heart seemed to be touched, his energy has been suppressed for so many years, and he is a waste person in martial arts, but it does not mean that his IQ is also low, although cultural exams and martial arts involve the mobilization of energy, resulting in his inability to play, but normal observation and thinking will not be affected, Lin Rui's mood slowly calmed down, and thought: Now you must not be brutal, even if you have Tang Yuan's strength, you may not be able to rescue Ouyang Ziwei with your fists alone, after all, if you start fighting, not to mention saving people, maybe the other party may directly poison Ouyang Ziwei. Therefore, now it can be said that he and Tang Yuan are standing on the same line, and they can only discover the secret path by looking for it!

Thinking of the previous duel between Tang Yuan and Balong, Tang Yuan's grasp of the timing of the battle and his observation and judgment of the opponent's fighting style, Lin Rui's fighting spirit couldn't help but burn, and he said secretly: "Although I, Lin Rui, am not as good as you in martial arts, and I can't compete fairly with you in energy cultivation, but I am not necessarily inferior to you in terms of observation and judgment!" ”

Remembering the process of Ouyang Ziwei's discovery of the mechanism in the Black Bear Office, mainly starting from those places that did not conform to common sense or were different from similar things, Lin Rui tried to stabilize his previous eagerness to discover the secret passage, and began to slowly and carefully observe this hall.

In Lin Rui's opinion, although the furniture is exquisite and elegant, the placement of each piece of furniture is still in accordance with the habits of ordinary people, and there is no big problem, and the two big treasure bottles are a little strange except for the red light emitted from the bottle mouth, and the bottle itself is not surprising, Lin Rui was about to push the bottle with his hand to take a look, and suddenly remembered Ouyang Ziwei's original warning, "In a room with organs, be careful", and the platform full of sharp blades, but no anomalies can be seen outside. Lin Rui's heart moved, and he retracted his hand, thinking that it was better to make sure that there was something wrong, if he ran into a mechanism, then he would be caught in the net.

Continuing to observe the surroundings of the hall, Lin Rui suddenly felt that he had a strange feeling when he was looking at the picture of the flame beast descending the mountain, as if something was not coordinated, he cautiously walked to the painting, and carefully observed it for a while, this feeling of incongruity was very strong, but he just didn't find anything.

What is it exactly? At this time, the fire outside seemed to spread from the back of the building to the left side of the building, the firelight outside the window shone in, shining on the painting in front of Lin Rui, the eyes of the fire beast also seemed to flicker under the firelight, emitting a strange light, the whole painting was vivid, the open mouth of the blood basin seemed to swallow Lin Rui in front of him, if it weren't for the louder and louder voices of the people fighting the fire outside, Lin Rui would have even been fascinated by this realistic picture of the fire beast descending the mountain.

Someone outside suddenly roared: "Fuck you don't have eyes, the water dragon is spraying towards the tree!" Hearing this voice and seeing the fierce eyes of the flame beast in front of him, Lin Rui suddenly discovered the sense of incongruity that this painting gave him! That is, the focus of the gaze is wrong, the fire beast in front of him is indeed vivid, and the eyes are also very fierce, but the position of the two eyes is not focused, the fire beast has one right eye to look at the front door, but the other left eye is biased to the side, the eyes seem to look at the sofa on the left, the eyes are not focused, so that when you look closely, this fire beast seems not only not fierce, but a little stupid and funny. It's just that Lin Rui hasn't noticed it because the eyeball bias is really small, but if you look closely, this is indeed the most incongruous part of this painting, and it is also the biggest unreasonable part of this painting!

This painting looks so extraordinary, it is undoubtedly the pen of a famous master, but the finishing touch is actually wrong, even those painters with poor techniques will not have such a low-level problem, so that a work with a flawed painting is pasted in such a key position as the main hall, for the surrounding is fine, the decoration is too unreasonable for the place is all around, the decoration is extraordinary. Thinking of this, Lin Rui stretched out his finger and gently touched the left eyeball of the flame beast, the touch of the hand was not like the quality of the picture or the cloth, but the feeling of cold and hard like an iron sheet, Lin Rui's heart moved, his fingers slipped, this left eyeball was adjusted, and the eyes of the flame beast were finally focused, towards the front entrance, the momentum of the flame beast was even more multiplied, and a powerful murderous aura seemed to pour out of the painting!

And at this moment, I heard someone outside say loudly: "Okay, okay, you guys quickly put things away, we'll do the rest, you go back and guard first!" ”

The groove cake, Lin Rui thought to himself, and after he turned the eyes of the flame beast, the hall didn't seem to have changed, he looked around, although there was a lot of furniture in this hall, but there was no place to hide a person, this is over!

Just when Lin Rui turned around and was about to fight with the people who came in, he heard a slight "creaking" sound from the wall behind him where the flame beast was posted, and the entire wall was as if it had been unlocked.

It seemed that he had heard the footsteps coming to the door outside, and Lin Rui didn't have time to think about what was behind the wall, his body was against the wall, and the entire wall actually rotated 180 degrees, turning Lin Rui into a dark passage behind the wall. As soon as Lin Rui left the wall, the wall actually rotated 180 degrees by itself and returned to its original state. The rotation was almost instantaneous, but it didn't make a sound.

I don't care if the people outside have seen this, but this secret passage behind the wall surprised Lin Rui again, he was actually standing in the middle of a spiral staircase, one of the stairs in front of him should lead to the second floor, while a rotation down seemed to lead to the ground.

This small building that looks so ordinary on the outside is actually such a world inside, looking at the stairs that are only illuminated by the lighting beads embedded in the wall, which looks dim and unknown, so that Lin Rui, who originally thought that Ouyang Ziwei was locked up on the second floor, suddenly didn't know what to do.

Just when he was feeling overwhelmed, Lin Rui heard the footsteps of someone coming down the stairs above, "Oh no!" Lin Rui thought that if he ran into it here, he would have no energy and nowhere to hide, so he could only be caught with his hands tied. And the dim passage leading to the underground, but it was like a greedy monster opening its mouth waiting for the prey to enter, so that Lin Rui couldn't help but think of the flame beast painted outside, and his heart was also furious, but at this moment it had gone deep into the tiger's mouth, at this time he had to persevere to the end, thinking of Ouyang Ziwei's well-behaved smiling face, for the sake of so many years of this only friend in distress and his own years of waste material, almost nothing to achieve deep unwillingness, Lin Rui gritted his teeth and hardened, One foot deep and one foot shallow, walk down the stairs.
