Chapter 41: Door Locks

Ji Qingyi looked at the walls at both ends, then at the locked door on the opposite side, and thought, "Which of these doors do you say has the secret book?"

Xiao Jin shook his head and said, "It's imperative that we first find a way to open these locks."

As he spoke, he turned around in front of the door and said, "I just don't know if these locks need to be opened by any mechanism, or if they have to be opened by someone from the Nightmare Palace."

As he was talking, He Qingyun suddenly coughed and said, "I ......"

Ji Qingyi turned his head, stared at him with two eyes, and said, "What's wrong with you?"

He Qingyun shook his head and said, "It seems that someone stuffed something in my mouth just now."

Ji Qingyi and Xiao Jin's expressions immediately changed, Xiao Jin frowned and looked around, "Who is it?"

But nothing had changed around him, not even a single figure. He Qingyun coughed again: "I don't seem to be thirsty anymore."

Ji Qingyi walked up to him and looked at him, "Are you sure someone stuffed something into your mouth just now?"

He Qingyun nodded and said, "Sure, that thing melted when it entered my mouth, and I am not thirsty anymore."

Ji Qingyi turned his head to look at Xiao Jin and said, "It's the person who is helping us."

Xiao Jin frowned: "Who is helping us?"

He Qingyan said indifferently: "Whatever, as long as he can help us."

Xiao Jin glanced at him and said, "I'm afraid that if I don't have a good heart, the river mussels will fight, and the fishermen will benefit."

He Qingyan 'cut' and ignored him. He bowed to the air around him and said, "Thank you for helping."

Ji Qingyi kicked him funny and said, "Why do you look like a fool."

As he spoke, he ignored him and turned to look at the door, saying, "We can't get in now, let's think about how to open this lock."

Xiao Jin pulled out his saber and said coldly, "It's better for me to split the lock with a sword."

"Poof." As soon as Xiao Jin's words fell, a laugh came out of nowhere.

Xiao Jin looked back at Ji Qingyi, Ji Qingyi shook his head, so the two of them looked back at He Qingyi together. He Qingyun waved his hand violently at this time and said, "It's not me either."

The expressions of the three of them suddenly became a lot more serious, Xiao Jin frowned and said, "There is someone who feels uncomfortable looking at it."

Ji Qingyi licked her lips, leaned into Xiao Jin's ear and said, "Do you think it will be Hongchen?"

Seeing that they were so close, He Qingyan was a little jealous and said, "What are you saying, you don't want me to hear it yet."

Ji Qingyi and Xiao Jin didn't pay attention to him, he rolled his eyes and walked over, stuffed between the two of him and said, "What are you talking about?" Count me in. ”

Xiao Jin frowned and glared at him and said, "Can you be quiet for a while?"

He Qingyun also said angrily: "Why am I not quiet? You two whispered and didn't let me listen, are you thinking about something bad? ”

Xiao Jin snorted coldly and said, "What else can be bad, the current thing is bad enough."

He Qingyi thought about it, but he just didn't want to send Qingyi and He Qingyi so close.

He muttered, "This person just can't be isolated, otherwise no one can say what terrible things he will do."

Ji Qingyi rubbed his eyebrows and said: "You have to get it, it's all your reason to dare to love now, can't we be wrong?"

He Qingyan opened his mouth, and he didn't speak aggrievedly, the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, and suddenly felt that someone gently poked him in the back. He turned his head suddenly, he really didn't see anything, so he scratched his head suspiciously, and as soon as he turned around, his body was poked again, and he turned his head sharply and shouted: "Don't mess with me, okay, who are you, let's come out and meet."

Ji Qingyi walked up to him, patted him on the head and said, "What are you doing?" It's so loud, aren't you afraid of being discovered? ”

He Qingyun frowned and said, "It's not that I'm loud, it's that I always feel that someone pokes me in the back."

Ji Qingyi squatted down and just wanted to see if there were footprints or shadows on the ground, when she felt someone leaning on her ear and blowing. She dodged and scratched her ears and said, "Friend, although you saved my friend, I am grateful to you, but if you play with us like this, I hope you can stop in moderation."

Maybe Ji Qingyi's tone was too tough, but after finishing speaking, the three of them saw a faint trace of mist on the left, which was very clear and soft. After the man's face was revealed, Xiao Jin rolled his eyes and said, "It's really you, didn't you say you couldn't come?"

Hongchen smiled and said, "I'm not worried about you, so I'll come and have a look."

He Qingzhen asked, "How long have you been with us?"

Hongchen thought for a while, waved his big hand and said, "It won't be long, the moment you were poisoned."

He Qingyan darkened his face, twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Then do you know why I was poisoned?"

Hongchen shook his head and said, "In order to train us, Wumei has set up poison and secret weapons in many places in this palace, and these poisons and hidden weapons will change with time, so I don't know what kind of poison you have."

He Qingyun was surprised: "You don't know what poison is, so how can you detoxify me?"

Hongchen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do you still need to know his name for detoxification?" Knowing that his breeding is not enough. ”

He Qingzhen: "......"

Xiao Jin walked up to Hongchen and said, "You won't be sent by Wumei to spy on us, right?"

Hongchen's face immediately changed, and he kicked Xiao Jin angrily and said, "Why don't you want to be good at all!"

Xiao Jin still said with a cold face: "Just in case, after all, we are not a faction."

Hongchen glared at Xiao Jin angrily, stared at him for a while, turned his head and said, "Forget it, I originally wanted to help you unlock the door, but since you don't believe me so much, then I'll go."

When Ji Qingyi heard this, he hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Little brother, you said you want to help us unlock the door?"

Hongchen held his head high and said, "No, never,"

He Qingyi and Ji Qingyi took Hongchen aside, rubbed their shoulders and beat their legs, and Ji Qingyi said on the side: "Little brother, why are you worrying so much with him, he is just a paralyzed face, fake and serious, not worth taking care of."

He Qingyun also said: "Yes, yes, don't look at him talking to you like this, he can always carry the map you gave him in his arms."

As soon as He Qingyi spoke, he was stomped by Ji Qingyi.

Hongchen: "......"

Hongchen sighed and said, "Are you people outside so suspicious of people?" Isn't it normal for you to find your friends and for me to help you? ”

Ji Qingyi twitched the corner of her mouth, thinking to herself, where is it normal? But he couldn't care so much, so he nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, it's normal, whoever said it's not normal, I'll beat him."

Hongchen nodded and said: "And I didn't help you in vain, when you rescued your friends from the Nightmare Palace, remember to take me out, although I haven't heard of a Nightmare Palace disciple leaving the Nightmare Palace for decades, but I just want to try if I'm wrong?"

He Qingyan greeted him on the side and said: "No, no, no, you are not wrong, you are not wrong, your thoughts are very strong."

Heroic? Hongchen rolled his eyes at He Qingyan and said, "Why can't you speak so much."

Ji Qingyi also glared at He Qingyi, turned his head and smiled happily at Hongchen: "He just doesn't have perfect expression skills and a not very flexible brain, you forgive me."

Hongchen nodded and continued: "Actually, I don't know what Wumei took away your friend for, although I knew him well before, but now since she became the palace master of the Nightmare Palace, we haven't been in touch for a long time. She didn't come to me after the evening workout, maybe because she hadn't noticed you were missing. ”

Xiao Jin opened his mouth at this time: "Then you help us, won't we be punished if we are discovered?"

Hongchen looked back at him and said, "How can it not be punished?" The most powerful punishment of the Nightmare Palace is to be made a human being. ”

"Human?" Ji Qingyi swallowed and said, "Do you mean the person who dug out all the person's facial features and arms, cut them off and put them in the wine trough?"

Hongchen nodded, and He Qingchen frowned: "This is the criminal law in the palace, right?" Such a cruel punishment, how can it be used on you. ”

Hongchen shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but no one has been made into an adult so far." I heard that the ancestor Wumei once worked as a concubine in the palace, so I guess I learned it from there. ”

After speaking, Hongchen said again: "Why did you remember to come to the fourth floor of Chongyang? This is a forbidden area in our palace, and you can't enter without permission. ”

Xiao Jin said lightly: "Then don't you also come in."

Hongchen stiffened his neck and said, "Didn't I enter because I saw you come in!" Ji Qingyi looked at Hongchen and said, "We found something, I don't know if to talk about it."

Hongchen was stunned and said, "Is there anything about Wumei?"

Ji Qingyi thought for a while and said, "Sort of."

Hongchen nodded, raised his eyes to look at her and said, "Well, you say."

Ji Qingyi said slowly: "When I was in the palace hall, I went to the room to find a rope that could connect us, and then I met a man and a woman. That is, the disciples of your Nightmare Palace and a Nightmare Demon of the Nightmare Palace. ”

She paused and said, "The Nightmare Palace disciple said that he had found the location of the secret book of Wumei, and said that in this fourth layer of Chongyang, that Nightmare Demon wanted to seize the position of the palace master and replace Chu Lian. If I'm not mistaken, the previous name of the current Palace Master of the Nightmare Palace was Chu Lian. ”

Hongchen frowned and nodded, "There is a traitor in the Nightmare Palace."

Xiao Jin smiled and said, "Traitor? I think you look like a traitor, the two of them have different intentions at most, and you call your elbow outward. ”

Hongchen puffed out his cheeks and said: "I don't have two hearts, I just want to get it, I just want to get it if I don't have a nightmare palace and Wumei, why are you so strange, I'll help you, you still make me angry, as if you deliberately drove me away."
