92 [Monster]
Bai Yutang fell all the way down from the crypt, and he felt the rubble above him fall down, he reached the ground, and sure enough, he found a road ahead, and rolled in...... Then, there was a "bang" at the entrance behind him, and it was all filled with rubble and blocked.
Bai Yutang felt a lot of dirt on his back, covered his mouth and nose and walked a few steps forward, waved his sleeves, and began to look around......
At this time, he didn't know his location very well, and it was pitch black all around.
He took out the fire fold from his bosom, opened it and blew it on...... Looking around again in the faint light, I saw that the tunnel was quite wide, more than one person high, very deep and deep, and it was pitch black in front of me, and there was no end in sight.
The reason why Bai Yutang came down just now was because at that moment, he saw that there seemed to be someone under the tunnel, and he ran into the tunnel in a flash. This whole case is confusing and can't find a direction, and the best way to break through is to get a tiger without entering the tiger's den. The other party set up such a mechanism, and it was clear that he wanted to capture him alive instead of wanting his and Zhanzhao's lives - more than calculating!
As soon as this thought swirled in his head, Bai Yutang went down to the crypt.
At this time, he held a fire fold in one hand and a knife in the other, listening calmly to the movements around him.
Really...... There was breath ahead, and there seemed to be two people.
Bai Yutang felt that the aura was peaceful, well hidden, it should be okay, and the distance was not close. There seem to be a lot of forks in the tunnel, so it is a little difficult to listen to the wind to tell the direction......
Bai Yutang was not in a hurry to find the man, but took the fire fold and looked at the wall of the tunnel.
This tunnel is not excavated in modern times at first glance, Bai Yutang itself has some research on the building, carefully looked at the murals, and touched the texture of the wall, surprised...... This is something before the Tang Dynasty, the chiseling process of the walls is very rare, and the mural style is somewhat close to the Han style. But it doesn't look like the aesthetic ...... of the Central Plains Could it be that this was once an ancient city of Fanbang?
Bai Yutang was puzzled, and saw a bright light in the distance, at the end of the dark tunnel, as if someone was coming with a torch.
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and at this time, he ...... A puff of yellow smoke spread, and there was a pungent smell.
Raise your hand to cover your mouth and nose, but it's too late...... The other party apparently decided to subdue him with smoke...... Bai Yutang could have covered his mouth and nose and endured it for a while, but the other party was very cautious, and he didn't know what this drug was made of, and he was extremely domineering.
Bai Yutang didn't use his internal strength to forcibly resist the drug, so as not to fall into the devil by mistake...... In a few moments, he slid down the wall, unconscious.
"Ahem......"
A person covered his mouth with a wet handkerchief, drove the smoke in front of him to Bai Yutang, leaned over to look, turned around, and said to the other person, "Fainted!" ”
Then, the sound of chains "bang, bang" came.
With a "snap", a pair of handcuffs were thrown to the ground, "Wrap him up." ”
The head first took the shackles and muttered, "Do a pair of shackles work?" He's Bai Yutang! ”
"And what are you going to do?" The speaker approached, holding a bright torch in his hand, "Do you want to tie him up?" Who is tied up to break the mechanism?! ”
"Click" twice, the handcuffs were ready, and the man squatted over and took a look, "Tsk, Bai Yutang is really worthy of his reputation, he is handsome, so envious, even if I can recognize each other, I don't want him to be so good-looking!" ”
"It's not time to think about it." The other sighed, and at this time, there was already a "clanging" chisel sound from above, and they were about to dig down.
"Hurry up!" The man stepped forward quickly, one of them carried Bai Yutang, the other picked up Bai Yutang's knife, ran forward, turned into a fork in the road, put down the boulder door of the jack, and disappeared without a trace.
……
"Not already?" Zhao Pu squatted at the entrance of the cave and asked the shadow guard below.
"Almost." Ochre Shadow and the people used special tools to dig all the time, and they had already seen the gap at the bottom, and they knew that the road had dug above the tunnel.
Zhan Zhao stood at the entrance of the cave, looking down, his brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't say a word.
Tianzun and Yin Hou were not far away, and others also came, at this time, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the weather was very bad.
"Hey." Yin Hou hugged his arm, and his elbow lightly touched Tianzun, "If you dig down, you may not be able to find your apprentice, does he belong to the tiger who can't enter the tiger's den?" ”
Tianzun sighed, "It's like something that the Jade Hall will do." ”
"It's a bit of an adventure." Yin Hou pouted.
"Isn't he also here to solve the case?" Tianzun sighed.
"He should follow you, doesn't he like to be nosy, so enthusiastic?" Yin Hou raised his eyebrows.
Tianzun gave him a blank look, "Knowingly ask!" ”
Yin Hou touched his chin and looked at Zhanzhao in the distance...... If Bai Yutang hadn't been for him, he probably wouldn't have bothered to care about this mess, let alone risk his life, what would he want.
"Alas......" The two old men sighed at the same time and shook their heads.
"That's right." Tianzun suddenly said to Yin Hou, "That girl from the Dragon Nine Refining Family is also here, do you know the way?" ”
Yin Hou was slightly stunned, "Miao Miao? ”
Tianzun nodded, "I ran away before I entered the Baozhou Mansion." ”
"Huh?" Yin Hou gently touched his chin with one hand thoughtfully, "That's ......"
"This girl shouldn't be as simple as taking advantage of his father's retreat to sneak around, right?" Tianzun asked, "Isn't there a rule in the Yaksha Palace that you are not allowed to go out without permission?" ”
"Long Miaomiao, that girl, don't look at the usual light and heavy is a demon star of the mixed world, but she is smart and clever, and ruthless, if she just wants to have fun, the three hundred old demon stars in my demon palace can play with her, and come all the way to this cold place? No reason! Yin Hou frowned, "Besides, why did Long Jiu Lian just come out of the customs a while ago...... Isn't something wrong? ”
"Dig through!"
At this moment, there was a shout from Ochre Shadow below, followed by a coughing sound, "Wow...... What a taste! ”
Zhanzhao at the entrance of the cave was about to jump, but the ochre shadows and they all came up one after another, and they choked on the ground and coughed, "Smoke!" ”
Everyone looked at each other.
Gongsun who came squatted down and sniffed it, and shook his head, "It's smoke, cover your mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief to go down." ”
But before he finished speaking, Zhanzhao had already jumped.
"Ahh Zhao Zhao! The eagle who was squatting at the entrance of the cave and waiting hurriedly followed, and the red monkey also wanted to go down, but was proposed by Zhao Pu, which means - don't make trouble, children!
Everyone knows in their hearts, since they use smoke, it means that there is indeed a trap below, and Bai Yutang ...... It should have been caught.
After a while, I saw Zhan Zhao come with a calm face, and shook his head - the tunnel below was sealed, and only the fire fold of Bai Yutang was picked up, and nothing else!
Kui Ying came up and told everyone, "Bai Yutang should have been taken away after being stunned, there is a jack mechanism in the tunnel below, probably from the fork in the road, and then the entrance is sealed, it is difficult to find out." ”
Tianzun blinked and pointed to his nose, "What about my precious apprentice?" ”
"Uh......" Kui Ying hurriedly hid behind Yin Hou, "for the time being...... Can't find it. ”
Tianzun raised his eyebrows.
"However, since the smoke is used, it means that the other party does not want to kill Bai Yutang." Gongsun came over, "And the woman also said just now that the other party wants Bai Yutang and Zhanzhao to join forces to break the mechanism, and it shouldn't hurt him." ”
Zhan Zhao frowned, staring at the dark hole.
"Good grandson, what do you want?" Yin Hou poked Zhanzhao lightly.
"Bai Yutang was deliberately arrested." Zhan Zhao said lightly.
Everyone thought about it, and they all felt that there was such a possibility, otherwise it was unlikely that Bai Yutang's kung fu would not be able to escape!
"He must have left something behind." Zhan Zhao saw that the smoke below had almost dispersed, so he jumped down again.
This time, Tianzun He followed, so to speak, the baby apprentice is below! After all, this is gone, in case there are three long and two short, then it will be fine!
Zhan Zhao went to the tunnel, and a group of shadow guards illuminated the short section of the tunnel brilliantly, and finally he found some white powder on the ground, scattered.
Zhanzhao squatted down and looked at it carefully, reached out and pinched it, leaned to his nose and sniffed, "Ah ......"
Can't help but sneeze, Zhanzhao touched his nose and remembered what it was.
Anyway, Zhan Zhao's mouth is delicious and delicious, yesterday he and Bai Yutang ate a family's wontons that were particularly good, not that the wontons themselves were particularly delicious, but the pepper in the soup was particularly good!
Bai Yutang saw that Zhanzhao liked it, so he bought some pepper with his buddy, put it in a cotton bag, and stuffed it in the waist bag he brought with him, and was going to ask Gongsun for a few bottles to bottle after he came back, but he forgot it when he was busy yesterday.
Zhan Zhao instantly understood, Bai Yutang definitely made a small hole in the cloth bag and pocket, so that all the way, no matter where he went, the pepper noodles would spill a little. Zhan Zhao's nose is smart, let the shadow guards prepare bright torches and find someone!
Kui Ying has also come down, he will crack the mechanism, as long as Zhanzhao can find the way, he can open the blocked road.
Zhao Pu assigned a few people, and Ochre Shadow Purple Shadow led a team of shadow guards to follow Zhanzhao and them down.
Zhan Zhao and Kui Ying went to find Bai Yutang, and Tianzun also followed, so naturally no one stopped them.
Originally, Xiao Wu wanted to follow Zhan Zhao to death, but after all, it was not convenient for it to go down the tunnel, so Zhan Zhao pushed it to Yin Hou.
Zhao Pu sent people to guard the entrance of the cave, and then together with Lord Bao, he took the strange woman in white who was injured by Zhanzhao and her face was covered with blood, and returned to the yamen of the Baizhou Mansion.
……
When Bai Yutang woke up again, he first smelled a pungent choking smell.
He opened his eyes and looked around...... It was still a dark tunnel, and then there was a dim glow of fire.
Sitting up, he reached out and wanted to touch his forehead, feeling a little dizzy, but with a "bang" and a sense of concatenation in his hands, he looked down...... And he saw two hands handcuffed with a piece of iron chain.
Bai Yutang stared at the chain for a while, raised his hand, and clicked......
A thin layer of ice was instantly attached to the chain, and he pulled it to both sides...... The chain broke in two.
He slapped off the chain and looked up at the surroundings when he heard a scream.
Following the shout, I saw two people standing there awkwardly.
A grade is quite light, about early twenties, looks very strange, I don't know whether the head is a horn or a tumor, sharp-beaked monkey gills, a pair of big eyes are not very annoying, looking at Bai Yutang in shock.
And the one next to him, the facial expression is also quite weird, this person is burly, about thirty years old? Sideburns, green eyebrows......
Bai Yutang frowned slightly-is this the person from which troupe ran out? I've never seen it before.
Bai Yutang just wanted to stand up, but the young man with the horns in his head hid behind the big man, "Don't come here!" We are demons...... Youkai, you want to eat people! ”
Bai Yutang looked at the two of them speechlessly, originally thinking that he would catch some big man or the mastermind behind the scenes, but he didn't expect that it was two idiots who wanted to lock him up with an ordinary iron chain, which was so stupid.
"Who are you?" Bai Yutang patted the dust on his clothes, and found that there was a lot less pepper noodles in his waist bag, but he was a little surprised, had they been walking in the tunnel for a long time?
"Youkai ......," the young man replied without fear of death.
Bai Yutang couldn't cry or laugh, "Even if you two are monsters, you can always say what has changed, right?" ”
"Uh......" the boy looked at the big man as if to ask, "what changed?" ”
The big man glared at him speechlessly, looked back at Bai Yutang, and said viciously, "Bai Yutang, you'd better cooperate with us obediently, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around." ”
As he spoke, the young man behind him tugged at his sleeve, "Be polite, don't mess with him, I heard that he has a bad temper." ”
"Tsk." The big man looked back at him, shook his arm, and that meant - don't you get in the way!
Bai Yutang looked at the two incoherent and ridiculous weirdos, but he didn't think they were some kind of vicious people, after all, they didn't do anything during the time they were unconscious, and they didn't even hurt their flesh, so it can be seen that they really want him to help?
Bai Yutang nodded, "What do you two want me to do?" ”
"Will you help?" The young man was a little surprised, and the big man was also suspicious.
"Whether you want to help or not and whether you can help are two different things." Bai Yutang looked around and asked, "Where's my knife?" ”
The young man subconsciously looked behind him, but quickly hid the long cloud knife, which meant that he didn't give it to Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang also saw it......
The two weirdos just wanted to determine if Bai Yutang was lying to them, but Bai Yutang was gone.
"Huh?"
The two were slightly stunned...... It's still there just now, why is it gone! The young man rubbed his eyes, but he felt that the hand behind his back was loosened, and the heavy silver knife seemed to have been taken away......
"You two speak up and listen to it, and see if I can help."
The voice came from behind...... As soon as the two of them turned around in shock, they saw that Bai Yutang didn't know when Lu Dao had arrived behind them, and he took back his knife in his hand. He said very casually, and while reaching out and taking out a bag of something from his waist bag, he shook it, and found that half of it was left. Bai Yutang tore the pepper noodles through the hole and tied a knot, and put it back in the bag, Zhanzhao still wanted to eat.
The two of them only had the ability to swallow saliva this time, and they didn't expect Bai Yutang's kung fu to be so good......
"You two are quite mother-in-law." Bai Yutang waited impatiently, his eyes were cold, "Say." ”
……
The young man hurriedly hid to the other side of the big man, good guy, Bai Yutang is not Zhanzhao, that look is really cold! It seemed that there was a feeling of freezing all around, and he glanced at the iron chain that had been turned into ice slag on the ground, and the young man dragged the big man, what does that mean- or let's run?
The big man didn't seem to want to give up, hesitated, reached out and stroked the hem of his clothes, knelt down for Bai Yutang, and then lay on the ground as if kowtowing to him, "You help us!" ”
Bai Yutang was stunned.
The boy also knelt down and hid behind the big man.
Bai Yutang frowned, and noticed that there were two circular black tattoos on the protruding neck bones of the two people, and inside the round black circle, a twisted yin and yang gossip pattern.
Bai Yutang was puzzled, "You are from the Yaksha Palace?" ”
