Chapter 7: The Dungeon
In the middle of the night on Cape Island, the cool breeze drives the palm-sized leaves and makes a crisp sound like a bell when they collide with each other.
Several figures came to the outer sect territory from the territory of the inner sect along the connected trees.
The visitors were dressed in tight-fitting black night suits, with scarves wrapped around their heads, and only four pairs of sneaky eyes were visible. They stopped at a tree pole above a low wooden house and whispered something about something.
Under the direction of the leader in black, the rest of the men scattered and set up an ambush around the hut.
The moon was thick, and through the window, one of the men in black motioned for the others to come over, because he found Liang Daniu sleeping on this side.
The window was easily pried open, and there was almost no sound, and the leader and the rest crept into the room, seeing Liang Daniu sleeping quietly, like a baby.
The leader pulled out a thin tube from his bosom, and just as the smoke was about to erupt, a thick palm gripped his hand tightly.
"Who are you?" Liang Daniu didn't actually fall asleep, he noticed movement outside the window but didn't dare to act rashly, so he pretended to sleep.
"You don't need to know this. The leader was slightly surprised, and then hit him in the neck with a knife, Liang Daniu urged his fighting spirit, and the hand that originally grabbed the man in black pulled off the scarf on his head.
"Why you?Lin Qing!!" Liang Daniu's eyes widened, and he immediately fainted.
Cape Island, Patriarch's House.
Liang Da Niu, who was tied with hemp rope all over his body, was taken to the memorial hall by several black-clothed people and thrown on the ground in three or two strokes, while next to him were Xiang Tian and Xiang Xing, who had also passed out in a coma.
In the memorial hall, the incense was much more prosperous than before, and the smoke screen was filled, wrapping a slender figure inside.
Lin Po's eyelids twitched slightly, and she glanced at a few people angrily, "How many of you have water in your brains? If you break the sacrifice to the gods, do you know how serious the consequences are?"
Even if the leader was Second Elder Lin Qing, Lin Po showed no mercy at all.
"The child doesn't know yet, please forgive Mrs. Lin. Lin Qing bowed his head and admitted his mistake, not daring to refute.
"Hmm. Lin Po motioned for the three people behind Lin Qing to step back, "Okay, the life of the little ghost of the outer sect can be worth a few dollars, and it is already their greatest blessing to sacrifice to the gods, and now that there are enough three people, the living sacrifice can be carried out as scheduled." ”
Lin Po looked at the mural of the Divine Sea on the wall, closed her eyes tightly, knelt down deeply on the ground, and muttered silently, "Almighty Sea God, the cheap wife brought sacrifices. ”
Lin Qing nodded in agreement, "There is one more thing to worry about. Lin Po said, "You go to his house to deal with Liang Daniu's disappearance, if his family insists on going to the Shenwu Branch in Zhongshan Town to complain, you can find a reason to deal with the delay by the way." ”
Lin Qing is also a reasonable person, and immediately said that he would send people to guard day and night in the past few days, and there would be no mistakes before the Sea God Sacrifice.
"Let me see which of the three children of the outer sect can be so happy. Lin Po's dry hands touched the faces of the three of them one by one, and the young skin could be blown and broken, Lin Po was very envious, after all, she was already an old man over 100 years old, and she would inevitably remember that she was also a woman who was a woman who was a country and a city when she was young.
"Huh?" Lin Po's hand suddenly stopped, "How can this guy have such strange runes on his body?" Seeing the indecipherable words on Xiang Tian's body, Lin Po was puzzled, "I've heard that criminals in the Red Clay Empire will be tattooed with some words after entering the cell, and now this kid... ”
As a shaman on the island, Lin Po can be said to be familiar with the culture and history of the Red Earth Continent, but he doesn't know anything about the runes on the body of this son of the outer sect.
Could it be that there is some earth-shattering secret hidden in this text? But this is not a matter that Lin Po needs to care about, what she cares about is whether the sea god sacrifice can be carried out as scheduled, and whether it can calm the anger of the gods.
"It's funny, there are still words I can't read, and if it weren't for the fact that you were going to sacrifice to God, I would have skinned you and hung it in a glass case in my collection room. ”
"Hee ~ hee ~ hee. Lin Po seemed to be smiling, and after looking at the "sacrifice" once, she ordered Lin Qing to put the three of them in handcuffs and anklets and send them to the dungeon together.
Tick, tick, tick.
In the dungeon, it was wet and cold. The droplets of water on the roof dripped down on Xiang Tian's face, and he was extremely sober.
There was a chill from his back, Xiang Tian looked on the ground, and found that it was a bluestone paved floor, and couldn't help but exhale a cool breath, it turned out that he was no longer at home in the library pavilion, but in a strange place.
Several weak beams of light shot on Xiang Tianwushen's eyelids, his mind was confused for a while, and he vaguely remembered...
The scars caused by Lin Chuan during the day have gradually reduced the pain after applying the plaster, because his body temperature is still slightly feverish, Xiang Xing is afraid that he will be infected with some fever, so he will take care of it by the bedside all night.
A good night's sleep, until four black-clothed people flashed out of the window, and the half-awake Xiang Xing quickly reacted to the bad people and confronted them with a wooden sword in his hand.
The black-clothed leader who took the lead sneered, a blue fighting aura appeared all over his body, and he silently recited a spell in his mouth, and suddenly a circle rose up, and Xiang Xing's body lost his balance when he stepped on the air, and a water attribute fighting qi rose up, and the water in the air could be seen with the naked eye that the water was quickly wrapping Xiang Xing.
Xiang Xing screamed badly, and was about to swing his sword to launch a light wave slash, wanting to interrupt the other party, but the rest of the men in black took away the wooden sword in his hand. In the end, the leader of the men in black successfully performed the water prison technique, and Xiang Xing fainted with a choking cough.
And after inhaling a wisp of white smoke, he lost consciousness.
So it was, Xiang Tian finally remembered.
"You're awake, little god. Xiang Xing leaned against the wall, his hands and feet were already handcuffed and anklets, and he looked at himself again, and it was the same.
"Where are we, exactly. ”
"Why you, Lin Qing!!" Liang Daniu woke up like a dream, covering Xiang Tian's words, he bounced up sweating profusely, and then looked at the two people next to him, "Why are you here?"
The two glanced at each other, and Xiang Xing asked, "Da Niu, do you know something, just now when you woke up, you said why it's you, Lin Qing, what's going on?"
Liang Daniu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly said, "I won't tell you the truth, I was kidnapped by Lin Qing, the second elder of the Inner Sect. At that time, a group of men in black broke into my room, because of the limited strength, when he hit me with a knife, I couldn't resist it, and I almost passed out. ”
"So do we. Xiang Tian interjected, and Xiang Xing immediately shushed and motioned for him to continue listening to Liang Daniu.
"The reason why I knew that he was Lin Qing was because he didn't pay attention at the last moment, I ripped off his scarf, although I was about to faint at that time, I still vaguely heard the words of a few people in black. ”
"What?"
Liang Daniu swallowed a mouthful of water, his expression uncomfortable and uneasy.
"Lin Qing, the second elder of the Inner Sect, said to the other three black-clothed men that this was the third sacrifice to the gods. ”
Xiang Xing was cautious, his black pupils were almost white, and he couldn't speak for a moment. Xiang Tian's eyes widened and he scratched his head, "You are the third, so who is the first and second?"
Liang Daniu slowed down, "I'm the third, if nothing else, you are the first and second." ”
Xiang Xing's palm almost covered his entire face, "Now is not the time to argue about these rankings, the inner sect is going to sacrifice us to the sea god, and we are those three sacrifices." ”
"Can you eat the sacrifice?" Liang Da Niu's brain hole is like his fighting soul iron - iron, hard.
If there is a hole now, Xiang Xing can't wait to get into it, "The so-called human sacrifice is to sacrifice the lives of the living to the gods they believe in, in order to express their obedience and respect for the gods, and at the same time pray that the gods can fulfill their phoenix wishes." ”
"Oops, don't we. Xiang Tian listened to his brother's words, and knelt on the ground with a puff, not daring to accept what had happened.
"Woooooooo Liang Daniu burst into tears. "I haven't thought about dying so soon, what if I die my parents?"
"I just found out that I'm a Class B talent, and I don't want to die young. Liang Daniu had already cried into a tearful man, his nose and eyes twisted together.
"Actually, I woke up early in the morning and thought of a way to get out of here. ”
The pupils of Xiang Xing in the corner of the wall flickered brightly, and he obviously looked confident.
Early in the morning, mist shrouds Cape Island. The dew wetted the flowers and trees, and the birds alarmed the shallow fish.
As usual, Li Neng carried hundreds of kilograms of stone ingots on his back and trotted for a while near his residence. Over forty years old, the full muscles cater to the limbs swinging and bulging, and the strong body will always give people a thick feeling.
If this is in the town, it is estimated that there will be a scream of an idiot.
Li Neng had been troning steadily, but his keen sense of touch told him that next to a hidden bush in front of him, a hand was hurrying to beckon him over.
"Huh, are you?" Li Neng looked at the old man in front of him a little familiar.
"I'm the father of Da Niu, Mr. Li, you have to help our Da Niu now. The old man couldn't cry and knelt in front of Li Neng.
Li Neng felt pity and immediately helped Liang's father up and asked what happened.
While wiping his tears, the old man said that Liang Daniu was missing at home, because he was usually a person who did things with a good explanation, so the whole family was not at ease when he disappeared.
At first, I thought that Da Niu had gone to practice alone and forgot to go home, so he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, he had a second-level talent, and the small place here would only restrict cultivation.
However, I didn't come back for the next few days, and then I realized that something was wrong, and then I scattered my family to search for it in the mountains and fields, and in the end I didn't find anything.
Soon after, the sect sent someone to come to the door, saying that Da Niu had been invited by them to the patriarch's mansion as a guest, so we didn't need to worry. At this moment, I was ecstatic, and immediately went to the Patriarch's Mansion to visit my son, but the guards kicked me away and prevented me from entering.
"So, it's not that there is no way, I won't come to you, Mr. Li, you are very capable, please help me bring me back the big cow from the patriarch's mansion? ”
Li Neng's heart sank, looking at Father Liang, who was several years old, he hesitated for a moment, and then nodded silently, "I can help you investigate this matter, but I can't guarantee it... ”
When he said this, Li Neng choked, "It's okay, as long as I can know the current situation of Da Niu, even if I can't see him in the future, I'm satisfied." The old man burst into tears, patted his chest, and slowly exhaled a sullen breath, feeling relieved.
After speaking, Liang's father took a closer look around and left.
"Why do you want to promise him, you pig-headed, aren't you too troublesome enough?" Li Neng was slammed on the back of the head, a wisp of green smoke came out from behind him, and an iron-armored man holding a long-handled broadsword slowly rose.
"Old Iron Monster, this is not my idea. Li Neng said with a roll of his eyes.
"I told him. An old man in a white robe appeared flutteringly.
"You're nosy, old man. ”
"Don't you know how to respect the old and love the young, little ghost? How miserable it is for people to lose their son, we can help if we can, can't you just have some fun?"
"What's the fun, remember to bring me. A child with a horn on his forehead appeared out of thin air, "Haha, do you want to play hide and seek with me?"
"Xiao Ming, be serious. The old man waved his sleeves, "Old Iron Monster, do you want to go together, those guys from the Inner Sect may still suit your appetite." ”
"If you want to fight, even if you have my share, haha!!" The old iron monster raised his big knife to play, but Xiao Ming chased after the group.
"Alright, then wait until night, let's get moving. Li Neng picked up the stone ingot again.
And the three figures floating in the air said happily in unison, "Okay." ”
