"Good time!" Huiyuan put away the Buddha beads and made a vajra seal with both hands. "Prajnaparami!"

With a loud shout, the embroidered gold robe on his body suddenly flew out and pounced on the white jade toad.

"Bald donkey, what are you doing...... Yes...... Ah......h

The white jade toad wailed again and again, and he was covered by the robe and couldn't break free.

"Don't be impatient, the poor monk will take you to a good place immediately."

Huiyuan's hand was slowly clenching, the robe gradually shrunk with his gestures, and finally turned into a cloth bag carried by a woman, Huiyuan reached out to catch it, and in the sneer, he had already run into the distance.

"Strange!" Lao Wu said in surprise: "He is not going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, where is this monk going?" ”

"What a daze, don't keep up yet!" In the midst of the exclamation, Qi Lu's body also rose up, and followed Hui Yuan away.

After following for half an hour, Qi Lu found that Huiyuan had come to the outskirts of Beijing, and in front of it was a magnificent temple, with four big characters inscribed on the plaque: Daxiangguo Temple.

Huiyuan did not stop, but directly entered over the wall. Qi Lu, who followed closely, was stunned for a moment, and beckoned Lao Wu to climb over the wall and enter the temple with him.

Although there were no pilgrims in the temple, Huiyuan's figure disappeared. When Qi Lu was irritable, he suddenly heard the voice of the monk talking, he hurriedly sneaked into an uninhabited room with Lao Wu on the side, and looked out from the space between the window lattices.

I saw two monks come over, and one of the older monks said, "The national teacher is here, you have to wait carefully." ”

"Senior brother, don't worry, I will serve with all my heart." The young monk, who was less than twenty years old, made a Buddhist salute and hurried away with a basket full of fruits and vegetables.

"Here's your chance!" Qi Lu was secretly happy, and when the slightly older monk turned around, he quietly opened the door, followed him, and suddenly punched his shiny bald head, instantly knocking him unconscious.

Qi Lu hurriedly dragged him into the room, then took off his monk's robe and changed it on himself, and said to Lao Wu after he was done: "You find a place to hide him, and I will follow the monk to find Huiyuan." ”

"So where do I wait?"

"You just wait for me outside the temple, if you find anything wrong in the temple, come in and pick me up."

Qi Lu followed the little monk to the apse, and saw that he had turned into a monk's room and did not come out for a long time. Qi Lu was in a hurry, and hurriedly leaned to the window to look in, but found that there was no one in the house.

Qi Lu was suddenly shocked, there is no back door in this monk's room, why is this little monk missing like Huiyuan?

Just when he was surprised, he suddenly heard the ground "gurgling", Qi Lu opened his eyes and found that a wooden board on the left side of the room was pushed aside, and a bald head came out from below, this person was the little monk who had just entered the house to deliver vegetables and fruits.

Qi Lu's heart lit up, it turned out that there was a dark room hidden under this monk's room. Seeing that the little monk was about to come out, Qi Lu hurriedly flashed to the side. After a while, Qi Lu saw the little monk and Huiyuan go out of the house together. After listening to the little monk say "The abbot is invited", the two locked the door and left in a hurry.

Seeing that there were no more people around, Qi Lu pried open the window and jumped into the house, then lifted the wooden plank and found that there were narrow stone steps leading deep underground. Qi Lu lowered his body and walked in, and found that it was dark all around.

Qi Lu felt like he had walked into a dark bottomless abyss, and his heart was full of depression. When he closed the cover above his head, he saw in the faint light outside that the stone steps were lined with blue-gray stone walls, and an oil lamp was placed in the recess above the stone wall on the right.

Qi Lu hesitated for a moment, then picked up the oil lamp, lit the oil lamp with the fire fold placed next to the lamp holder, and then walked down the steps. As he walked, he observed that it was a dark chamber converted from a hole in the ground, and in the dim light, the rocks on both sides looked like monsters with fangs and claws.

Qi Lu walked along the stone steps for more than 100 meters, and it suddenly became clear in front of him, he had come to a spacious cave. The area of this cave is more than 50 square meters, the height is about four or five meters, and the rocks on both sides are also very neat, which is like a small square. There are also several naturally formed stone pillars standing around, perhaps left behind during the construction, which adds a bit of mystery to this underground world.

At this time, Qi Lu found that there were three one-person high openings at the front of the cave, if nothing else, Bai Yu Toad was locked in one of the caves, but he was locked in that hole? Qi Lu couldn't judge, so he tentatively walked into the cave on the far left.

When he entered the cave, Qi Lu smelled a strong smell of blood, he lifted the lamp and went to it, and found that there were many torture instruments that could not be named, and some of them were stained with blood.

It seems that this is a torture room, Qi Lu knew that he was in the wrong place, and when he was about to leave, he found several corpses piled up in the corner.

Do these bald asses dare to torture and force people to death? Qi Lu was shocked, and hurriedly approached to take care of it with the lamp, and found that these were some strange-shaped animal remains.

It turns out that these are the corpses of some youkai! Judging by the scars on the wreckage, they were subjected to extremely cruel punishments during their lifetimes. It must be known that people with spells, although they take it as their duty to kill demons, they will never torture and kill those monsters that harm people.

"Fuck you, Huiyuan, you're just a beast!" Qi Lu couldn't suppress the anger in his heart anymore, and scolded loudly. It was only at this time that he finally saw Huiyuan's true face, this seemingly kind monk was actually a cold-blooded and ruthless butcher!

Suddenly, a faint male voice came from next door: "Who is scolding, let's save some effort and give me some water to drink." ”

Qi Lu immediately heard that this was Bai Yuchan's voice, and hurriedly walked out of this abominable torture room and entered the cave in the middle.

Only a few meters into the cave, Qi Lu turned a corner, and suddenly there was a faint fire in front of him, shining on Bai Yuchan's haggard face, he was holding the child, sitting on the cold mud floor.

"Hey, why don't you run away?" Qi Lu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Bai Yutoad was not tied up.

"My body is too weak to walk."

"Do you want me to help you?"

"No need." An imperceptible smile flashed at the corner of Bai Yuchan's mouth, "It's too dry in the cave, if you can find some water to sprinkle around me, I'll be grateful." ”

"Really?" Qi Lu held an oil lamp in front of him, and suddenly sighed: "I didn't expect a monster like you to lie and deceive people." ”

"Ahem, ahem." Bai Yuchan coughed twice in embarrassment, looked at the stranger who suddenly appeared in front of him with fearless eyes, and said, "It turns out that you are in a group with them." ”

"They, do you mean the monk who captured you? Unfortunately, I don't want to be around that kind of person. While speaking, Qi Lu carefully inspected the ground and found that a talisman array had been drawn around the white jade toad with a diameter of about one meter, and the array was full of scriptures that imprisoned demons and evils. Qi Lu chuckled, knowing that this was Huiyuan's masterpiece.

Seeing that Bai Yuchan was in prison, but there was no trace of panic and fear on his face, Qi Lu couldn't help but be secretly surprised, so he asked, "Why did they arrest you?" ”

"I don't know." Bai Yuchan replied honestly, and then said: "The mana of the bald donkey who caught me is unfathomable, if you are just a person from the rivers and lakes, you should leave here quickly, otherwise you will lose your life unjustly." ”

"I can't see that you're thinking about other people." Qi Lu grinned and said, "If you're not a monster, I'd love to make you a friend." ”

Bai Yu Toad Zhengse said: "Judging the quality of others by shemales is a concept that you humans have. ”

Qi Lu couldn't help but be in awe, and a trace of surprise swept through his eyes, "I didn't expect you to have such knowledge." ”

"I don't want to talk nonsense with you, are you here to save me or kill me?"

Seeing that there was still hostility in his eyes, Qi Lu hesitated and said, "Kill you, I shouldn't be able to." But I didn't make up my mind to destroy this talisman to save you. ”

"If you don't want to save me, then please save this child, he is innocent." Bai Yu Toad retreated and begged for the second.

Xu Shilin was still asleep, as if he didn't know that danger was coming. An indescribable look appeared on Qi Lu's face, because this little life was about to pass away, and this man would die under his golden rainbow sword in a thousand years, at this moment, Qi Lu was really difficult to let go.

Bai Yuchan didn't know what Qi Lu was thinking, seeing that he was silent, he thought that Qi Lu was a timid person who didn't dare to cause trouble, so he said coldly: "If you just come to see the excitement, then it's still too late to escape." ”

"Run, why should I run?"

"Because those guys are coming soon, I can already hear their footsteps entering the cave."

Qi Lu was stunned for a moment, but he immediately believed what Bai Yuchan said. After all, most yokai have more sensitive senses than humans, and it's extremely normal to hear sounds that you can't hear.

"You wait a moment, I'll come back later." Qi Lu immediately blew out the oil lamp, turned around and walked out of the hole, hiding in the disgusting torture hole.

After a while, Qi Lu heard messy footsteps outside the cave, and they all entered the cave where the white jade toad was imprisoned.

The child's crying sounded, as well as the sound of scolding and fighting, mixed with a few words of white jade toad scolding from time to time.

Qi Lu couldn't help but worry, for fear that these gangsters would take Bai Yuchan to the torture cave where he was for torture and interrogation. In that case, their whereabouts will be immediately exposed to them.

The cave next door suddenly fell silent, but it only lasted for a few seconds, and the sound of messy footsteps sounded again, and Qi Lu heard a group of people walking towards the outside of the cave. He hesitated to the entrance of the cave, peeked to check the movement outside, and found a group of monks escorting the white jade toad towards the outside of the dark room.

The last two people in the line, one was Huiyuan, and the other was an old monk with white hair, Qi Lu judged from his dress and demeanor that this old monk should be the presiding officer of the temple.

The two of them talked to each other as they walked, and panicked expressions could be seen on their faces. Qi Lu couldn't help but be surprised, Hui Yuan had just imprisoned Bai Yuchan here, why did he have to transfer to other places in such a short time?

However, Qi Lu immediately figured out the reason, it must have been the monk who was knocked unconscious by himself woke up and reported what had happened to the abbot, so it aroused Huiyuan's vigilance, and he immediately brought someone to the cave to transfer the white jade toad, so that he would not be rescued by others.

At this time, a sentence said by Huiyuan and the abbot floated into Qi Lu's ears, "Doesn't this demon want to go back to Hangzhou, and the poor monk will fulfill him." ”

Qi Lu sneered a few times when he heard this, and when they all came out of the secret passage, he cautiously came out of the torture room and tracked him down.
