Chapter 54: The Vanishing Village of Lavent

The sound of water droplets came from an unknown corner, Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan leaned against the corner with a tired face, Lin Yantian sat cross-legged, deep in thought, although the jailer had untied the shackles that bound the three people, but their situation was still not optimistic, and Lumond claimed that they would be executed tomorrow.

No one spoke in the middle of the night, and all three of them knew in their hearts that tonight might be their last night in the world. It didn't take long for this calm to be broken by Lin Yantian, who dragged his tired voice and straightened his legs and changed his posture: "Blame me for not thinking things through, so I feel sorry that you were affected by me." ”

"Now, it's useless to talk about this, we have to find a way to escape quickly, or all our previous efforts will be in vain, Yunxi and I are Fangli's best friends, she definitely doesn't want us to die." Liu Yuhan said as he stood up and groped for the walls around him, "You guys get up and look for it with me, maybe you can find the hidden secret passage." ”

"You're naΓ―ve, we're in the underground prison of the mayor's mansion. Mu Yunxi put on a bitter face and shook his head, "Prison is a place where prisoners are held, who would be so mentally retarded to set up a secret channel in the place where prisoners are held?"

"Even if there is no secret channel, we can dig one!" Liu Yuhan knocked on the wall and turned to Mu Yunxi, "The time has come to test you, don't you always like to show off your physical talent?"

"That's different, I don't like to do rough work, and we don't have the tools to dig at all, and the weapons have been taken away, and now we are powerless!"

"So you just give up! You useless wretch, coward, coward......" Liu Yuhan was so anxious that she stomped her feet, and used all the vicious words she could think of to describe Mu Yunxi.

Mu Yunxi turned his face to the side, directly ignoring the irritable Liu Yuhan, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, then turned to Lin Yantian: "Your wife Bai Ruoyan is called Hongbao by Fangli, she is the sanctioner of the Tianzhao Sect, our knowledge of her is limited to that she is a very terrible woman, but your relationship with her shows that you know her well, in order to better deal with Hongbao, can you tell us about her past?"

"Really, it seems that she still refuses to give up her dark justice. Lin Yantian sat up straight with a little weakness.

"We all heard this from Fangli, Fangli once met her in Qidao when she was a child, if I have anything wrong, please forgive me. ”

Lin Yantian waved his hand to make Mu Yunxi stop arguing, and then he put his hands on his knees: "You have to think clearly, if you know that, you won't be able to stay out of the matter, do you have consciousness? Originally, I thought it would be better for me to deal with Bai Ruoyan personally and not involve you." ”

"But we've been swept up in it, haven't we?" Liu Yuhan stood up and raised his eyebrows, "At this point, helping you is helping ourselves, and I don't want to die here at a young age." ”

"Listen, that's ten years ago, my sister and I lived in the village of Lavent, and I can still see the story on the map. ”

Lin Yantian said in a heavy tone: "It is a small village, there are few children, the three of us have been living there since childhood, at that time we were convinced that such happy days would last, and then we grew up, my sister and I embarked on the road of becoming adventure travelers, and Bai Ruoyan stayed in Lavent Village." My sister and I have rarely returned to Lavente since then, but on that day, when I returned to Lavente after a setback at work, I saw ......"

"What did you see?" Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan asked in unison, they noticed a sad look on Lin Yantian's face at this time.

"I don't know who set the fire and attacked the village of Lavent, they surrounded the whole village with the magic guns of the federal army, and then carried out a bloody massacre of the villagers. All of Bai Ruoyan's family members died in the massacre, and after a burning hut, I found Bai Ruoyan huddled in a corner, his eyes blank, so I fled the village with Bai Ruoyan as best I could. Lin Yantian paused and continued, "With this incident as a *, the Lobelon Empire began to invade the Dragon Federation, which is the beginning of the Second Civil War as we know it, although it was later learned that the people who attacked the village were hired to pretend to be the army of the Dragon Federation, and the beginning of all this was the means used by the main battle faction of the empire to blame the Dragon Federation for starting a war. ”

"Later, at the end of the war, this truth was exposed, and the counteroffensive of the federal army was plunged in, and the panicked imperial government declared an armistice regardless of the image, and executed the insiders and related personnel, and the truth was buried in the dark, which is the real Second Civil War that Bai Ruoyan and I knew. Lin Yantian closed his eyes and said, "These things have completely destroyed Bai Ruoyan's heart, after we fled from the village, maybe it was my selfishness, thinking about living an ordinary and happy life with her, so we got married." After that, Bai Ruoyan behaved gently and virtuously in front of me, which made me mistakenly think that she had forgotten her hatred, but I was completely wrong, I never thought that she would use difficult childbirth to make her fake death and leave me. In the end, as you said, she joined the Celestial Cult and threw herself into the darkness to become the sanctioner of the cleansing of the world. ”

Mu Yunxi clenched his fists and said, "Then why didn't you stop her before, if you could have found out earlier, the tragedy wouldn't have happened." ”

"No, in fact, I have been blaming myself in my heart, I hate this world full of deception, and I hate myself even more for being cowardly. Lin Yantian propped his forehead in pain, "Do you know how deep this darkness is? The tragedy in the village of Lavent has been concealed by the governments on both sides until now, and the current peace is only a flash in the pan. ”

"That's true, but there's no way for her to hurt others, right?" Mu Yunxi stretched out his hand to Lin Yantian and said, "If you feel ashamed of your wife, let us redeem her together." ”

Liu Yuhan clasped his hands and sneered and mocked: "Ah...... Ah, Brother Yunxi, why have you become active, just now you arrogantly told me that you can't find the secret way. ”

"Because Uncle Lin needs our help, I suddenly have motivation. Mu Yunxi wiped his nose and replied.

"Don't call me uncle, look for death!" Lin Yantian stood up and punched Mu Yunxi's head, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm sorry, I made you worry, obviously the two of you are the principals of this incident, but I've cheered up, let's hurry up and find a secret way to escape." ”

Lin Yantian tapped on the wall as he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, and turned his head: "You two should be quiet for a while, and listen carefully to what kind of sound this is?"

"The sound of water droplets, Yuhan and I noticed it just now, maybe there are facilities similar to faucets in this prison, besides, ......"

Lin Yantian stretched out a hand to stop Mu Yunxi from continuing, and he touched his chin: "From the moment Lu Munt's secretary opened the mechanism and caught us, we can judge that this official residence is full of secret passages, and the prison we are in should be part of the underground passages of the official residence, where the mayor has imprisoned all the heretics who oppose him in order to maintain his mask of hypocrisy. ”

"What you want to tell us is that this prison could have been built temporarily?"

Facing Liu Yuhan's question, Lin Yantian nodded: "The characteristic of the underground prison is that it is very close to the sewer, and the sound of water droplets we hear comes from the sewer under our feet. ”

"It's a pity that our weapons were seized by the jailers, or I would have dug a passage. Mu Yunxi unwillingly pounded the floor, and suddenly he heard the sound of bricks and tiles cracking, and then found that the floor was dented a gap under his punch, and he slapped the dust on the ground, "Look at what I found?"

Liu Yuhan and Lin Yantian noticed that there was a silver metal hemisphere at the gap that Mu Yunxi had just punched out, and the four letters "N, S, W, E" were engraved on the top and bottom of the sphere, representing the four directions of "east, west, north and south".

Lin Yantian tried to rotate the metal hemisphere, but unfortunately no matter how hard he tried, the metal hemisphere did not move at all, so he had to sigh helplessly, looked up at the ceiling, and happened to see the shallow marks on the ceiling, forming a six-pointed star pattern, and the silver metal ball was located directly below the center of the six-pointed star pattern.

"I understand!" Lin Yantian's brain flashed, and he motioned for Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan to look towards the ceiling, "In order to prevent the prisoners in the prison from using spells to escape, every cell here is arranged with an enchantment, just like the six-pointed star pattern you saw, this kind of enchantment is also known as the spell sealing array, using the spiritual power restraint device in the center of the six-pointed star to suppress the spiritual power in our body, but this device has a fatal flaw, that is, it cannot withstand excessive external force. ”

Liu Yuhan spread his hands and said, "However, without weapons, we can't create such a big external force. ”

"Not necessarily. ”

As he spoke, Lin Yantian followed the six-pointed star pattern on the ceiling to the corner of the star facing the letter "N", and he slammed the ground hard, and another silver hemisphere emerged from the depression where he had struck.

"Now I understand, the way to crack the spell sealing array is to get out the spiritual power restraint device in the six directions of the star corner. Lin Yantian clapped his hands and stood up, leaving the rest of the work to Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan.

So under the guidance of Lin Yantian, Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan pounded the floor and got out the other five directions of the star angle spiritual power restraint device.

"That's it, everybody get ready. ”

Lin Yantian asked the two of them to gather directly below the center of the six-pointed star pattern, he squatted down, turned the silver spiritual power restraint device in the center, and turned the position engraved with the letter "N" to the position where the letter "S" was originally engraved.

Just as the rotation was completed, a loud noise was heard, and the floor cracked several huge cracks, forming a six-pointed star pattern on the floor, and then the stones began to loosen, and the six-pointed star pattern floor collapsed.

The three of them fell directly to the lower level of the prison cell, and when they stood up with their bodies propped up, they found that it was also dark around them, and relying on the light of the torches standing on the tunnel, they could vaguely recognize the current environment.

As Lin Yantian deduced, it was indeed a sewer, a long and endless tunnel, with a thick gray-yellow brick wall, and a rushing waterway on the right side of the tunnel, and they believed that they could find an exit by following the direction of the water.

"Get out of here before we find out. Lin Yantian said and handed the other two torches to Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan, and he walked to the front alone, signaling the two to follow him closely.

In the dark, Liu Yuhan felt a warm hand holding her, and she subconsciously pulled out her hand, only to find that it was Mu Yunxi beside her.

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm just a little nervous. ”

Although Mu Yunxi touched her head and apologized, Liu Yuhan's heartbeat still did not slow down, and she followed slowly after Mu Yunxi walked a long way.

Really...... Could it be that she is also to Mu Yunxi......

Liu Yuhan hurriedly patted his head to restrain his cranky thoughts.
