292. Walking in the shadows
In the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, Xie Wuji got a clue, that is, about Li Ruohuo's younger brother, the reason why Li Ruohuo couldn't make a decision was because his younger brother was blackmailed and turned into a hostage.
If Li Ruohuo's younger brother, Li Ruoshan, was rescued, he would naturally be able to move Li Ruohuo, so after Xie Wuji left the carriage, he did not go directly to the Flame Mountain, but turned back to the branch of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, that is, the place where Li Ruoshan was imprisoned.
In the Flaming Mountain, Li Ruohuo re-veiled herself in the boudoir, and while looking at herself in the dressing mirror, she said to the girl next to her: "What about Xie Wuji, why didn't he come to me after he came back?"
Li Ruohuo said in his heart, didn't Xie Wuji always want to talk about the union, how could it be abnormal now, could it be that after coming out of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, he would give up this plan?
The maid said, "Miss, he doesn't seem to have come back, and the other disciples are also waiting for him, waiting to discuss the cooking together." ”
"Then where will he go?" Li Ruohuo raised her eyebrows, and she had a faint bad feeling in her heart.
And at this time, Xie Wuji had already come to the branch, this branch was the only one on a steep cliff in the south of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, this is called "Wangfu Cliff", it is said that there was once a wife waiting for her husband to come back who went to the battlefield, but the husband died on the battlefield, and the wife waited all her life and turned into a stone.
The beautiful story was used by the Ten Thousand Demon Hall to build a prison, which was filled with some important prisoners, which was equivalent to house arrest, among which Li Ruohuo's younger brother was also among them.
What makes Xie Wuji very concerned is that the person in charge of this is a person Xie Wuji is very familiar with, that is, Ding Desheng's contemporaneous elder, Elder Sun Deyue, this elder was originally from the chief criminal department in Danxia Sect, so now he has come to the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, and he is also engaged in his old business.
Xie Wuji was dormant at the foot of the Wangfu Cliff, he looked up at the cliff, and found that the cliff was very smooth, and there was a waterfall next to it, he sneered: "It is worthy of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, choose to build a prison on the cliff, so that it is impossible for those prisoners to escape, natural defense." ”
He looked left and right, and there was no other way up the cliff except for the only stone step.
The surrounding beasts are constantly screaming, and all kinds of jackals, tigers and leopards are hidden in the dense forest.
Xie Wuji hid in a bush and looked at the surroundings.
Suddenly, at this time, there was a carriage, slowly driving towards the prison, Xie Wuji immediately noticed, he reflexed, and grabbed the territory of the carriage with both hands, at the same time, several disciples of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall came from a distance, this carriage is a prisoner carriage, the disciple said, "Have you sent new prisoners?"
"This time, it's the son of the county magistrate of Baihua County, hum! The county magistrate refuses to pay the offering, and the young master Tao has an order, let us detain his son, just wait until the county magistrate is willing to ask for money!" said the man driving the carriage.
The people next to him laughed.
"Everyone who is against Young Master Tao, everyone who can die well!
"Let's go, let's take the people up first, and then talk about it, we have to report this matter to Elder Sun. ”
Under the escort of the disciples, the carriage slowly went up the steps, Xie Wuji saw in the chassis of the carriage that the car was not in direct contact with the steps, but was put up with a charm by the people here, at this time the carriage was suspended, although the suspension was not high, but it was also suspended after all.
Coming to the door of a stone hall, Xie Wuji let go of his hands the moment the car stopped, and suddenly rolled and fell into the grass.
He began to gasp for air, and for a while he surveyed around, finding that no one had noticed his presence.
Maybe it's the dominance of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall in Yongzhou, and the ordinary forces don't dare to touch its reverse scales at all, so they wouldn't have thought that someone would sneak here.
And Xie Wuji squatted in the grass, looking around, with the grass as a cover, he could observe the situation around him.
At this moment, a disciple in armor passed by, and Xie Wuji immediately whistled.
The disciple was stunned and looked around, but he didn't find anything.
It was just Xie Wuji who threw a few coppers next to the grass, which immediately attracted his attention.
The other party was very happy, he covered his mouth and held back a smile: "Damn, I'm really lucky today, I can still pick up money in this place!"
As he spoke, he approached the place where Xie Wuji was.
Suddenly, just as he was bending down to pick up the money, Xie Wuji suddenly stood up from the bushes, and hit him on the back of the head with a fist, dragging him into the grass.
The disciple was on patrol, and there was no patrolling person at this time, so it was very convenient for Xie Wuji to act, he turned over and came to the tree, and found that there were several cages not far away that were being carried inside.
Xie Wuji naturally would not let go of this opportunity, at this time, the sky was dusk, and the dim sunlight gave him infinite cover, so he was also very relaxed, and came to the vicinity of the cage, he jumped on the top of the cage, and immediately took out the steel wire that had been prepared a long time ago, and targeted a disciple who was guarding the cage.
His whole person was like a monkey going down to a well to catch the moon, he bent down suddenly, and then strangled the disciple's throat with a steel wire, the disciple was strangled so deep that he could barely move, but Xie Wuji took the opportunity to pull the man up, making him suffocate and faint.
After solving a person, Xie Wuji took out the Lei Gong Diamond and threw it at one of the other disciples who was in a daze, and the Lei Gong Diamond was like a bullet, nailed into the left temple of that disciple, and the right temple was ejected.
Brains and blood splattered all around.
However, the sound was very quiet, and it was very far away from the other disciples, so when the man fell, no one noticed it.
This series of actions is a matter of course, in fact, it is also thanks to Xie Wuji's study in the Flame Mountain, this is the assassination technique of the Flame Mountain, through the cooking skills, he can learn a lot of skills in the exchange of those inner disciples.
After solving the three people, Xie Wuji was naturally not idle, and jumped to the middle of the cage again, at this time, there were two disciples in front of him advancing side by side, and while walking, they were still chatting.
"That's true, that Li Ruoshan just went from the mountain to the temple, and now he has pulled it back, that is a little ancestor, it is difficult to serve!"
"Who made him a hostage of our hall master, with him, he can honestly control the Flame Mountain in his hands. ”
"Alas, it's hard for us to be small, that kid is pampered, he can't beat, he can't scold, the whole child is a little ancestor. ”
"yes, but I can't help it...... I can wait a little and deal with the above arrangement. ”
