Chapter 108: A Hiding Place
Although he had told the two strangers about his plan in the cell, Lopellet was still unhappy, and he ordered the disciples to guard the entire cell in case their accomplices came to the rescue.
The cell was built in an open space near Loppellet's house, and from the outside it looked like an ordinary house, and he couldn't build a large prison yet, and if he succeeded in overthrowing the Tianyao Sect, he vowed to take all the hypocrites to jail and let them taste the pain he endured.
Lopelรฉ stretched out his trembling hand and struggled to remove the ring from his index finger and put it in his pocket. The Ring of Miracles could feel his pain and hatred, and it was reflected in him, making every time he used the Ring's divine power, it was like tens of thousands of ants gnawing on his fingers, and it was unspeakably miserable.
But it doesn't matter, those stupid people are going to die.
At the thought of this, Lopelle's expression was much more relaxed, but when a disciple in charge of the message came over, his face became solemn again.
"What?
"It's true, sect master!" the man arched his hand towards Lopele, "Those outsiders are too much, and it doesn't matter if the shopkeeper Lai's kindness treats them without appreciation, he actually took revenge and tied up the shopkeeper Lai, and Aunt Lu's son also tied them up in the inn of the shopkeeper Lai." โ
"Take me there now!" With that, Lester ordered a few of his followers to follow him and walked to the Lopelle Inn.
The inn was in shambles, full of broken dishes, tables and chairs, and all kinds of signs showed that there had been a fierce fight in the store last night, and the results were clearly laid out in front of everyone.
I saw that Lester and Aunt Lu's son were gagged with a napkin and tied in the corner, and when they saw Lopele's arrival, they both struggled hard, saying that they should let him save him quickly.
Lopelle told his men to hurry and untie the two, and then he pulled out the napkin that was gagged in Lester's mouth.
"Master, I have finally come to look forward to you, those strangers are simply too deceitful, I will kindly entertain them, let them eat and live well. They took a fancy to my daughter, and they burst into the store last night and robbed her. Lester was in tears and had to hide his face with his hands.
Lopele picked up Lester and comforted: "Old man, don't worry, I will definitely catch them and get justice for you." โ
"Sect Master, you don't know, these outsiders are very cunning. Aunt Lu's son answered, "In the name of investigating the ghost attack in Grancia Village, they poured some ecstasy soup on my mother and asked her to obediently hand me over to them." โ
"In this way, they have made up their minds to disturb the hard-won peace of our village. Lopelle touched his beard and said, "As the leader of the Heavenly Gift Sect, your village head, I must not allow these outsiders to continue to act so recklessly." โ
Saying that, Lopelle snapped his index finger twice and asked Lester about the whereabouts of the strangers, and according to Lester's words, he expected that Elusson and the gang were hiding in a very hidden place, and it seemed that they had to go to the house of the blacksmith brothers.
So Lopelle asked some of the followers to stay, and the rest came with him to the door of the blacksmith brother's house, and he knocked on the door a few times, and saw a man with dark circles under his eyes and shrugging his shoulders pushing the door and walking out.
The man had a scruffy beard, wore a suspender shirt, held a steel nail in his left hand and a hammer in his right, and looked like his brother Elusson.
Seeing that it was Lo Pele coming, Ilupin put on a smiling face to welcome: "The villain is busy with work, I don't know that the sect leader is coming to the cottage and neglecting to entertain him, please forgive me!"
"Needless to say, let me ask you, where has your brother Eluson gone?" Lopelle moved the corners of his mouth meaningfully, "Yesterday he brought a bunch of villagers from the west of the village to destroy the altar ritual, and also shielded a few outsiders who intended to destroy my village, do you know where he went?"
"Tell the sect master, the villain said that he didn't know. Ilupin breathed a sigh of relief, "I haven't seen him all day, I can't imagine that he would do such a ridiculous thing, and the next time I see him, I will definitely teach him a good lesson." โ
"Don't bother you, I'll take care of this matter, just tell me where they're hiding. โ
Ilupin thought vigorously, and after a long time, hurriedly replied, "According to my brother's honest conduct, he will definitely find the place he is most familiar with to hide the strangers, and there is only one such place in our village." โ
As he spoke, Ilupin brought Lopelle closer to his face, and he whispered in Lopelle's ear where the men might be hiding.
They came to a muddy farmland, where a nondescript log cabin stood on the edge of the farmland, with many scarecrows planted in the farmland, and the sound of frogs could be heard when they stepped on the position where the seedlings had just been planted.
"Are you sure this is the place?" Lopelle asked Ilupin, who he didn't think was a Tibetan place.
"This is where my brother and I used to store our iron tools, and there is a secret passage under the wooden house, maybe they are hiding inside. Ilupin led the group into the cabin.
In the center of the wooden house is a fire kang, and on the walls are some very ordinary utensils, including hats, fishing rods, and farming tools, and a few teacups on the table, all of which are covered with dust, and it seems that no one has touched them for a long time.
Ilupin fumbled with the bricks on the ondol and found one of the black bricks that was completely different from the surroundings, and he turned the brick half a circle, then took a few steps back.
Hearing only the sound of "boom", the center of the fire kang appeared in a gap, the entire fire kang was separated into two halves, and a step appeared, extending to the dark room underground.
Lopelle led the Tianci Sect members into the dark room, and found that there were swords, axes and other weapons stored inside, and some even had a certain age.
"You guys search for me separately!"
On Loppellet's orders, the Cultists searched every corner of the darkroom, turning over even the swords in the closet.
"Sect Master, this dark room is too small to hide people, so let's go find it somewhere else. โ
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Lopelle couldn't help but clench his fists, and the green tendons on his head burst out.
This must be the most hidden place in the village of Grancia, could it be that the outlanders just disappeared out of thin air.
Although he was reluctant, for the sake of the overall situation, Lopelle had to order everyone to retreat first, and after coming out of the wooden house, he sighed deeply and prepared to leave this hellish place.
But just as Lopelle was disappointed, he suddenly felt a slight movement in the jungle behind the hut. Maybe it's the illusion of the breeze, he thought.
It's a pity that everyone was completely wrong, just about a minute after the Tianci Sect and his party left, the head of a girl with a pill head poked out from the jungle behind the wooden house, and this person was Lin Yaoxi.
"Alright, they're all gone, let's come out. Lin Yaoxi walked out of the jungle and patted the weeds on his body.
Immediately afterwards, Lan Lingxiang, Gui Xun'er, Youna, Shao Yan, and Xue Shaoling walked out of the grass one by one, and the villagers in the west of the village, including Yi Lusen, also walked out after seeing that there was no danger.
"Stupid girl, if Miss Ben hadn't blocked your mouth in time, we would have almost killed you!" Lan Lingxiang crossed his waist like a piece of carbon and started a fire at Lin Yaoxi.
"Can I be blamed for this? If it weren't for the stimulation of someone's body odor, would I have sneezed?" Lin Yaoxi pinched her nose and showed a disgusted expression towards Lan Lingxiang.
"Dare to humiliate Miss Ben and find death!" Lan Lingxiang and Lin Yaoxi grabbed each other's ears and scuffled, no matter how much Youna persuaded her.
Shao Yan, who was on the side, simply ignored the behavior of the two, pushed her glasses, and asked Yi Lusen about her next plan.
Eluson breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, I didn't tell him the real hiding place because I expected my brother who had turned into a living corpse to betray us, in fact, the most hidden place in Grancia Village is the high jungle behind the wooden house, because it is dense enough, even if there are many people who hide, they will not be discovered by others." โ
Gui Xun'er cleared her throat and said cautiously, "Miss Shao, please allow me to go with you tonight to rescue Father Priest. โ
"No, you stay and take care of the villagers, and I don't know if Lopele will send someone to search this place again. Shao Yan waved her hand and said, "The operation to rescue Father Ling and Senior Brother Song will be handed over to our Langtian Adventure Group, and now that Senior Brother is not here, I will temporarily take the position of the head of the Langtian Adventure Group, and I also made this decision after careful consideration." โ
"Are you questioning my abilities? I am the Father's Guardian Nun, and my safety is my responsibility. Gui Xun'er clenched her fists, and her eyes showed grievance and unwillingness.
"I know very well the friendship between you, but a thoughtful person like Father Ling also has his considerations. Shao Yan changed her gentle tone, "I think he definitely doesn't want people who are very important to him to take risks for him, and you stay to support him the most." โ
Gui Xun'er clenched the cross on her chest to calm her throbbing mood, and replied for a long time: "What about you? Is your Senior Brother Song also a very important person to you?"
Shao Yan was also silent for a long time, and replied, "My feelings for Senior Brother Song are different from yours. โ
At this moment, Yi Lusen suddenly remembered something and came to Lin Yaoxi, who was still fighting with Lan Lingxiang: "Girl, are you called Lin Yaoxi?"
"yes! How do you know me? Lin Yaoxi and Lan Lingxiang stopped fighting and showed strange expressions to Yi Lusen.
"Father Ling asked me to give this to you. With that, Eluson took out a ring with a double moon pattern from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yaoxi.
Shao Yan on the side saw this ring and immediately widened her eyes: "Oh my God! Isn't this the Ring of Miracles? How did you steal it from Lopelle?"
Eluson smiled weirdly: "This is a fake Miracle Ring, which I secretly created according to the drawings given by Father Ling, and with my many years of blacksmith experience, I can do it just like the real thing." โ
"Didn't Father Ling say anything?" Xue Shaoling asked with his hands crossed.
"He didn't say anything, just asked me to hand it over to Miss Lin. โ
"Thank you anyway!" Lin Yaoxi smiled and put the fake miracle ring in his skirt pocket.
"Hey, we're not done yet, you're gone. Seeing that the Langtian Adventure Group had the intention of taking Lin Yaoxi away, Lan Lingxiang was obviously very unconvinced.
Gui Xun'er rubbed her head, shook her head helplessly and walked over: "Miss Lan, why are you still so sluggish, Shao Yan and I have already discussed, and the Langtian Adventure Group will go to rescue Father Priest and Head Song." โ
"What? you just promised someone!" Lan Lingxiang was so angry that he almost didn't stomp on his red high heels, "No...... I said how did you become my servant to protect the nun, even I, the master, felt that the servant should go to the rescue when he was in trouble, and you, the servant of my servant, even understood this truth. โ
"Yes, Miss Lan is right, but what do you want to let Xiao Na do? Do you want her to run rampant like you?"
"The priest is my savior, and it stands to reason that I should save him, but in order not to worry him, I think we should give up. โ
Gui Xun'er smiled and gave a thumbs up, and shook her head at Lan Lingxiang: "Look at how sensible people are Xiao Na, on the other hand, look at your ......"
In the end, Shao Yan, Xue Shaoling and Lin Yaoxi made a good disguise on their faces and clothes, and set off under the farewell of everyone in the west of the village.
Before leaving, Lester's daughter said to Shao Yan with tears: "Good sister, you must defeat Lopelle and save our Grancia Village." โ
"Don't worry, I will!" Shao Yan said goodbye to everyone with a confident smile, "Hello, all the members of the Langtian Adventure Group, we are leaving!"
Lin Yaoxi put her hand on Shao Yan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Ouch, senior sister, you are a deputy head of the regiment, don't learn from your cousin to put on a stinky shelf." โ
Xue Shaoling stared at the dawn of the sky and followed the footsteps of the two.
