Chapter 67: The Dark Room
Mo Yinfeng took a lot of wood and paper from the side and threw them into the corpse pool, then took a large bottle, poured a lot of oil into the pool, and lit a dozen fire folds at once and threw them down.
Because the temperature here was very low and frozen, he planned to wait for the ice to melt before continuing to burn and destroy the corpses. During this time, he put all the other unimportant bottles and cans into a large wooden box and locked them, and moved the iron torture instruments to the corner one by one, pouring the liquid that could corrode the iron, and throwing all the wooden torture instruments into the pool as fuel.
He drew water from a groundwater well in the dark room, poured a large glass, walked to the front of the room with the stone door closed, and poured water into the bottle with blue flowers that he had found in Bai Qiuchi before. Then he turned the bottle three times to the left, and turned around the edge of the bottle mouth, and the bottle body near the bottom of the bottle actually opened an opening, and all the water in it flowed out, and after the mouth closed automatically, he turned the bottle to the right three times, and the stone door slowly opened.
Bai Qiuchi carefully observed with the crystal ball, it turned out that the steps to enter were so complicated, it could be seen that there must be an amazing secret inside.
Bai Qiuchi, who felt that he was gradually moving towards the truth, raised his spirit again, and his sleepiness disappeared completely. He carefully controlled the crystal ball to move to the stone door and slowly slid inside......
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jin Xu woke up from his dream and sat up.
Just now she actually dreamed of Sister Hong, who had passed away.
In fact, she didn't know Sister Hong's real name, and she only met her for three or four days. But after listening to her experience, Jinxu was very distressed and determined to help her fulfill her dying wish.
But gradually, the desire to help Brother Bai became more and more distracted. Thinking about it now, I'm really ashamed of Sister Hong.
When everything here is over, she will tell Big Brother Bai that she will go to these places mentioned by Sister Hong to find out what clues there are.
Coincidentally, there are many places that Sister Hong mentioned when I inquired with Brother Bai all the way before, so while helping Brother Bai, I also asked Sister Hong what she was looking for. It's a pity that Big Brother Bai doesn't seem to be willing to talk too much about the past, so she knows almost nothing about the other situation except that the person Big Brother Bai is looking for must be a woman.
I don't know how Big Brother Bai is doing now, whether he went back to rest.
Just thinking about it, thinking about it, Jin Fu slowly fell asleep again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mo Yinfeng lit a lamp, and the room brightened up a little, but it was still very dim.
The small torture instruments outside are really "small and small" compared to the ones in the room, because in this damp and dark room, there are many kinds of terrifying large torture instruments.
There is also a cell with a wall on one side and thorns on three sides, and there are also many sharp knives on the top of the cell. There was a pile of firewood that had been reduced to ashes, which was supposed to be used for heating, but no one added it when it ran out. There were still a few people in the corner who were shivering and shrunk on the cold ground, hugging each other for warmth, as if they saw Mo Yinfeng, and none of them dared to move. It's a pity that it's too dim, and Bai Qiuchi can't see who the person inside is at all.
Mo Yinfeng came here in the end, wouldn't he have to "deal with" these eight or nine people?
Thinking of this, Bai Qiuchi hurriedly got up and rushed to the Ice Pavilion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mo Yinfeng walked over slowly, stood on a high platform above the cell in the corner, and stretched out his hand.
The people inside immediately stumbled in the direction of the stone gate, and as quickly as they could, crawled or walked over.
These people were damp and cold, their clothes were very tattered and messy, and if you looked closely, there were wounds of various sizes. It's just that because the stone gate is very heavy, it blocks some ice pavilion cold air from coming in, otherwise they would have frozen to death.
"No...... To ......"
"Don't ......"
"Mo ...... Please, butler......"
They all cried out the same thing.
"I'm sorry, but I can't help it." Mo Yinfeng pressed a switch on the side of the cell.
The part of the wall in the cell suddenly cracked, and the water poured in, and it turned out that the ice was connected to the lake under the lotus pond, and the crack was not large, and the water rushed very quickly.
The people in the cell were very frightened, watching the water slowly pour up, they all wanted to hold on to the railing and climb up, but they would be pierced by the thorns on the top and let go of their hands and fall, desperately staring at their feet to float, and some people began to slowly give up the struggle, they knew that they would not escape death, even if they swam to the top, they would be scratched by sharp knives, or gradually die of physical exhaustion, or they were ......
Mo Yinfeng didn't seem to want to see their dying struggles, and turned his back.
At this time, the stone door slowly opened.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Qiu Chi rushed in as fast as he could, and according to Mo Yinfeng's method, he pushed away the platform of Master Hu's corpse and jumped down the dark passage.
The fire in the corpse pool is still burning, but the ground is wet, and the stone door is so well sealed, where does all this water come from?
Bai Qiuchi didn't have time to think about it, kicked off the lock on the wooden box that locked the bottle, took out the largest bottle and filled it with water, and immediately rushed to the stone door, according to what Mo Yinfeng did before, filled the printed bottle with water as fast as possible, rotated, drained, the stone door opened, and the water immediately gushed out.
Bai Qiuchi rushed in desperately to see that Mo Yinfeng was not on the high platform, he immediately flew up with light skills, pressed the mechanism, the walls began to close, and the water continued to flow out of the room through the stone door, and the people in the cell all fell down, breathing in a big gulp of air, although he was saved, he had no strength to speak at all.
"Please give way!" Bai Qiuchi lifted a large iron torture instrument and smashed it against the railing of the cell with internal force. Although not in someone's direction, let them get out of the way just in case.
There was a loud bang, and a large hole was smashed into the cell. Bai Qiuchi rushed over, picked up a physically exhausted person, and walked out of the cell with the people who were supporting each other inside.
"Are you alright?" Bai Qiuchi hurriedly asked, "Can you still keep going?" ”
Everyone nodded, as long as they could get out of this hellish place quickly, they would climb out.
"Thank you...... Xie ......" Everyone was speaking intermittently.
"Don't talk yet, let's talk about it when we get out."
Wading through the water, I walked out of the stone door and came to the dark room, where the fire in the corpse pool was also extinguished by the water, but fortunately there was still a light.
Bai Qiuchi walked in the front, looked around, looking for Mo Yinfeng's figure, where did he disappear all of a sudden? Did he escape on the way from Bai Qiuchi just now? However, in order to come faster, Bai Qiuchi didn't look at the crystal ball for a short time, and he didn't see him come out along the way, and if he wanted to escape, why did he go up to the high platform first? Or maybe there is some way out on the high platform?
It's important to save people, go out first, and then go down later.
Bai Qiuchi walked out of the Ice Pavilion with these six scarred and drenched people, and the guards all jumped. Seeing that it was Bai Qiuchi who was the first to start, he was relieved and stepped forward to help.
After tossing and turning for almost a night, although it was still raining outside, it began to light up slightly. Bai Qiuchi recognized that four of them were officials, and the others should be subordinates in the house.
"Where's the seventh?" When he came out, it was much brighter, and the soldiers found that a person was missing.
"I don't know, it's not...... Follow us? Lao Xie shook his head.
Others shook their heads and said they didn't know.
At this time, the person who was in a coma on Bai Qiuchi's back woke up with their help, and when he heard them talking about Lao Qi, tears fell directly, crying: "Lao Qi...... The old seventh...... cough cough cough ......"
"You speak slowly." Bai Qiuchi helped him and helped him smooth out.
"Old Seven...... Also captured by that monster. ”
"That's the case...... everyone seemed to know, knowing that the seventh should be hopeless, and they lowered their heads one after another.
"What kind of monster?" Bai Qiuchi asked.
"It's ......," Bing said tremblingly, "it's the legendary monster under the lotus pond." ”
"What exactly happened just now?" Bai Qiuchi asked.
"When I was struggling in the water, I saw a rattan stick sticking in from outside the cracked wall, entangled Lao Qi and pulled it out, just like the branch that grabbed Lao Qin before......" Bao Zai, who woke up, said fearfully.
"Since we were caught here, from time to time Steward Mo would come and take people away, I don't know what to do, sometimes it is to press the mechanism to open the wall, let the monster take people away, and only catch one person at a time." Lao Xie lowered his head and said.
"No one who went out will come back." Bing added sadly.
"Then where did Steward Mo go?"
"We're all struggling, where will we notice Steward Mo's harmful guy!" Lao Xie said angrily, "In the past, it didn't take long for that Steward Mo to close the wall, but today he seems to be trying to put us all to death." ”
It must be Mo Yinfeng who is about to leave, for fear of leaving a living mouth and leaking what he did in the Ice Pavilion.
"I remember that before Bai Dao Chang came to save us, the stone gate seemed to be opened. So the water level dropped a little bit, but after a while, I heard the sound of the stone door closing. Hu Fu said vigorously.
"That is, someone opened the stone door. Did Steward Mo say anything after the door opened? Bai Qiuchi asked.
"He seems to have said a word." Ah Bing rubbed his head and said, "It seems to say 'li'......"
"No, he said 'you.'" Vigorously said.
"That's right, that's it......"
"......" turned out to be a pronunciation problem......
"Then it's not Steward Mo's own door." Who could it be?
knows how to enter the dark room, and at present he only knows one person - Hu Yanping.
Bai Qiuchi told the guards to send these injured people for treatment first, let them rest first, and let a guard inform Jinxu to take care of and protect them, and rushed to Hu Yanping's room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hu Yanping's room was empty.
Where will he go?
Bai Qiuchi also felt incredible when he thought about it, how did a person who was only five or six years old take Mo Yinfeng away? Or, Mo Yinfeng walked with him by himself, through that small door.
Could it be...... Where is the second lady?
Bai Qiuchi came to the second lady Shu Xueyan, but saw the twin sisters braiding their hair in the living room.
"Two young ladies, excuse me, is the second lady there?"
"We don't know, my mother asked us to come early last night, and we waited in the living room for a long time and didn't see her come out." Hu Nianan replied.
"That'...... Can you trouble the two of you to go in and have a look? ”
"No problem!" Hu Nianan picked up Hu Nianci and ran to the second lady's room.
After a while, the two ran back.
"How?"
Both shook their heads and said, "Not in the room." ”
"Maybe I'll go to Steward Mo." Hu Nian'an blurted out, Hu Nianci glared at her again, and she didn't dare to speak out.
"If the second lady comes back, can you please send someone to inform me?" Bai Qiuchi planned to go to Steward Mo to have a look.
"Okay." Hu Nianci said.
"Thank you. Poor farewell. Bai Qiuchi turned around and left.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sister, why didn't we tell Bai Daochang just now that my mother was sleeping in the room?" Hu Nianan asked.
"Ping'er said that she would wait for him to come." Hu Nianci held Hu Nian'an's face, looked into her eyes, and said gently, "Let's wait, okay?" ”
"Hmm......" Hu Nianan nodded obediently.
"Good boy, let's go ahead and braid!" Hu Nianci touched her head and picked up the comb.
