(for @郑思豪 嘉geng)

It seemed to be a monkey, not tall, almost waist-level, covered in pitch-black hair, with crooked hands and feet, a face covered in hair, and its eyes open and radiating a scarlet glow—except for its lack of a tail, most of its physical signs resembled that of a wild monkey.

However, when the guy noticed that the little carpenter turned his head and looked at it, he suddenly opened his mouth.

At this moment, it completely dispelled the little carpenter's idea that it was a monkey.

The beast's mouth was actually four-petaled, like a blooming flower, full of fine and snow-white sharp teeth, black saliva dripping, and a disgusting rancid smell came to the face.

What the hell is this?

The little carpenter's heart jumped wildly, and his right hand tightly grasped the handle of the cold snow knife, and he was afraid that this thing was too agile and the knife was not fast enough, so he thought about taking off Hanyangzao on his back and giving this guy a shot.

His mind was a mess, afraid that the thing would suddenly jump up and tickle him, and that the thing would yell and disturb the people inside.

His muscles tensed like a tiger ready to pounce on him, but the guy didn't move, he didn't move, and the two sides kept standoff.

At one point, the little carpenter and the strange monkey formed a relatively static state.

I don't know how long it took, but the "monkey" turned around and ran away towards the first floor.

It's exactly the same as the two mastiffs I met earlier.

The little carpenter breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time, he heard Mr. Kato's voice coming from the basement: "Since Mr. Dong is so insistent, then I will not persuade me more, and I will be a villain in vain, but you can rest assured, I will try my best to talk to the temple of the Ghost King Temple, so that you can survive, after all, if you die, it will also be a loss to the Chinese medicine in this world; It's a pity that you didn't agree to my request, and I can't claim it without permission, and use all my resources to rescue you, please forgive me......"

He said it very politely, and the little carpenter felt that he was ready to leave, so he hurried upstairs.

When he came to the corridor on the first floor, he no longer saw the ghost monkey, and there was a "squeak" of the wooden door at the underground steps, and the little carpenter looked left and right, and found a diagonal gap to hide.

No sooner had he hidden it than the footsteps appeared in the corridor, and the little carpenter wanted to take a look at Mr. Kato.

After all, he had never seen anyone from the East.

But he finally suppressed his curiosity, and waited for his footsteps to go far before he leaned out, glanced left and right down the corridor, and slipped back to the steps that led to the ground.

This time he went directly to the wooden door, listened to the movement inside, and then slowly pushed it open.

Inside is a spacious space, there is a large iron plate in the middle, on which charcoal is burned, on the wall is an oil lamp, there are three respectively, burning vigorously, there is a very high wooden frame in front of the iron basin, it is densely packed, there are more than 30 kinds of iron tools hung, what hooks, shuttle needles, soldering irons, scissors and the like, there are everything, at a glance you know that it is a torture instrument.

Many of the iron tools are still stained with black and red blood, which is very scary to look at.

There were some simple furniture such as chairs and benches around, and then there were three cells on the left, the first two were empty, and the inside was too dark for the little carpenter to see, and on the right, there was a more spacious cell that looked fairly clean.

On the inner side of the cell, there was a thick black iron bar, which was very strong.

When the little carpenter looked over there, a half-old man with two beards and a goatee at his chin was also looking at him.

The guy was about fifty years old, with gray hair, and was wearing a blue shirt, and in the corner of the room, there was a young man about the age of a little carpenter. According to Gu Baiguo's account, the little carpenter determined that these two people should be Dong Qixi and his apprentice.

However, he still stepped forward and arched his hand towards the half-old man and asked, "May I ask if it is Dong Qixi, the living bead, Mr. Dong?" ”

The half-old man with a goatee was a little tired, but he didn't want to lose his dignity, he glanced at the little carpenter, and asked slowly, "I am, who are you?" ”

There was a bit of impatience in his words, obviously misunderstanding the little carpenter, who was in the same group as Kato, the Oriental man who walked away in front of him.

Of course, the little carpenter knew his thoughts, and directly identified himself: "I'm here to save you." ”

As soon as these words came out, Dong Qixi, who was originally a little tired, suddenly straightened up, and his eyes burst out with a glimmer of light, but then he retracted and asked in a low voice, "Are you from the Great Marshal's Mansion?" Why haven't I seen you? ”

The little carpenter shook his head and said, "No, I'm not from the Great Shuai Mansion, I'm a friend of Gu Baiguo, but I came with them, Luo Qingguang, do you know you?" ”

Dong Qixi nodded and said, "Luo Qingguang, I know—who is Gu Baiguo?" ”

The little carpenter was stunned for a moment, and remembered that Gu Baiguo told him that the situation in the Great Snow Mountain was more complicated, so he mentioned another person: "Gu Xicheng, do you know each other?" ”

Dong Qixi remembered it at this time, and said Oh, I remembered, Gu Xicheng's little niece, right...... Gu Baiguo, it's been many years, and when I came out of the mountain, she was just a two-year-old child......

When he said this, Dong Qixi's face was a little strange, but he quickly covered it up, and the little carpenter did not notice it, but was happy to be on the same page with Dong Qixi, and then continued: "I have been looking for you in Jinguan City with Bai Guo for many days, but I heard from the people of the Dashuai Mansion that you arrived at Lingyan Mountain in Guan County, because I don't know your whereabouts, so I can't come here, until I heard that you were kidnapped, so I followed the rescue team sent by the Dashuai Mansion to come here......"

Dong Qixi looked at him seriously and asked, "You came to me, what's the matter?" ”

The little carpenter told him about the ghost robe brother will be the head of the ghost king Wu Jiageng's unique poison Ten Thousand Insects and Five Snakes, and Dong Qixi listened, nodded, and said If this is the case, there are few people in the entire Sichuan land.

He said half of this, and he didn't say whether he could detoxify, but in his words, there was a bit of reserve and pride.

He then asked another question: "I heard gunfire yesterday, and then I heard that you were scattered...... Then let me ask you, how many of you are here this time, and where are the others except you? ”

The little carpenter said, "There is no one else, only me." ”

"Huh?"

Dong Qixi was directly stunned, and said in disbelief: "Just you?" ”

The little carpenter nodded and said, "Yes, it's just me." ”

When Dong Qixi heard this, the smile on his face disappeared, he squinted his eyes at the little carpenter, and then asked, "How did you get in?" ”

In order to win the trust of the other party, the little carpenter did not hide it, and told a rough story about the things that had been separated from him yesterday until he sneaked here.

When Dong Qixi heard this, there was no joy or sadness on his face, but he asked: "Not to mention the Ghost King Temple here, it is outside the village under the mountain, there are many organs, and there are dense light and dark whistles, how can you easily enter?" ”

The little carpenter said: "It is true that I have encountered some trouble, but because I have learned some Luban secret techniques, I can still deal with it." ”

He didn't want to go into too many details, firstly, because he didn't want to expose the "Luban Quanshu", and secondly, he didn't want to explain the chest tattoos that scared away the mastiff and the ghost monkey, so he said it very simply.

After saying this, he said to Dong Qixi: "Mr. Dong, I'm here to rescue you." ”

He walked to the door of the cell and saw a large iron lock with an intricate structure, but this was nothing to the little carpenter, who was born in Luban.

He took out the small carving knife from his arms and was about to reach into the keyhole to tinker, but at this time, Dong Qixi reached over and grabbed his wrist.

The half-old man said in a deep voice, "Don't worry. ”

The little carpenter was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "How can you not be in a hurry?" The people here were all drawn down the slope just now, and although I don't know what happened, I should be back soon. Dong Qixi glanced at him and said You let me think about it again.

The little carpenter felt that Dong Qixi seemed to be a little reluctant to leave at this time, he took a step back, looked at Dong Qixi, and the young man behind him, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Dong, I listened to what Xiao Dongyang told you just now, so I know that you are in a dangerous situation at the moment, and if you don't leave, you will die-do you have any worries now?" ”

Dong Qixi hesitated, nodded and said, "Yes, indeed." ”

The other party didn't say what he was worried about, but the little carpenter keenly felt it - he came alone, and it was already a miracle that he was able to come here and find Dong Qixi.

But miracles are not so unusual if they are the norm.

Dong Qixi is old and sophisticated, so he can naturally see that the little carpenter's cultivation is average, although he is surprised that he can find this place, but he has great doubts about whether he can escape with him.

If something goes wrong on the road, the Ghost King Temple doesn't even need to discuss it tomorrow morning, and it will be able to kill the killer directly.

This is too risky.

It is even equivalent to sending to death.

If that were the case, he might as well have chosen to wait for the results, or accede to Mr. Kato's request—at least it would be safe.

When the little carpenter thought of this, he felt a little sad in his heart, and his face became gloomy.

Dong Qixi's suspicion and distrust that he did not reveal out out of cultivation made him feel insulted.

And the fact that he had worked so hard to get here, but the other party did not choose to leave with him, also hurt him very much.

The scene fell silent for a while, Dong Qixi also felt his emotions, coughed, and said to him: "You reach out, I'll help you take the pulse." ”

The living bead wanted to ease the atmosphere, but at this time, someone at the door whispered, "Who are you?" ”
