Chapter 42: Chu Lian
Ji Qingyi also hurriedly kicked Xiao Jin, turned around and said to Hongchen: "Why are you paying so much attention to him, he is actually kind and doesn't want you to get involved."
Ji Qingyi paused and said, "Then if you help us like this, will we be made into adults?" Little brother, why don't you go back first, don't be here. ”
Hongchen shook his head and said, "If it's not in the way, Chu Lian won't do anything to me." She couldn't bear it. ”
Ji Qingyi looked at him clearly and said, "Oh, you two are lovers?"
Unexpectedly, Hongchen hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, she is a sister."
"Your sister?" Ji Qingyi was stunned, stunned for a long time and said, "How is it possible, didn't you say that you are all orphans?"
Hongchen nodded and said, "Yes, it's an orphan, Chu Lian and I are both orphans." was brought to the Palace by the previous palace master. ”
Xiao Jin frowned and said, "The people in the Nightmare Palace will not have relatives, how can the Palace Master of the Nightmare Palace not know this?"
Hongchen glanced at him and sneered, "You know quite a lot."
He added: "After the flood in my hometown, my sister was swept away by the water, she came to the Nightmare Palace half a year earlier than me, when I first came to the palace with a group of little boys of the same age, I was taken to the palace by the previous Nightmare Palace Lord Wumei, at that time Chu Lian was now next to Wumei, I was very happy to see her at that time, I just wanted to walk over to see and talk to her, but she twisted her face away as if she didn't know me. I was depressed for a day, I don't know if I recognized the wrong person, because Chu Lian has also changed a lot, and she is not at all the appearance of my sister in my memory, just when I thought I recognized the wrong person, she came to me at night and told me that if the palace found someone who had known him, he would be killed and thrown out of the palace. So she asked me to change my name, and my original name was Chu Chen. ”
He Qingchen looked at him vigilantly and said, "So, now it's your sister who has taken Xiaobai away?"
Hongchen nodded.
Ji Qingyi also looked at him and said, "You want to go out, why don't you just talk to your sister?"
Hongchen frowned and said, "She doesn't agree with me going out, she thinks the world outside is very sinful." Therefore, although I asked her many times, Chu Lian did not agree. ”
"So, you want to go out with us?" Xiao Jin opened his mouth to answer.
Hongchen nodded, and Ji Qingyi smiled: "Although your reason is far-fetched, we only have you to help now." Unlock the door, right? ”
Hongchen thought for a while and said, "Since this is a place where the secret book is hidden, then I can't open it for you."
"Why?" He Qingchen hurriedly grabbed Hongchen's arm.
Hongchen frowned and said, "Because you want to steal the cheats, I can't help you."
Ji Qingyi walked up to him and said word by word: "You have to think about it, we are stealing the cheats now just to exchange for our friends, even if this cheats are given to us, it is useless, ordinary rotten iron, but if this cheat is obtained by the female nightmare demon, then your sister is not as simple as being threatened."
Hongchen frowned tangled and said, "I ......"
"Huh? You tell me? Ji Qingyi tilted her head to look at him and said.
Hongchen raised his eyes and looked at Ji Qingyi and said, "Then you have to promise me not to hurt her, and besides, after saving your friends, you must change the cheats back."
Ji Qingyi nodded and said, "Of course."
He Qingyun also nodded on the side and said, "Yes, yes, it's useless for us to ask for that cheat."
Hongchen pursed his lips, walked to the door and said, "You guys stand back."
He Qingyun and Ji Qingyi took a step back in unison, and seeing that Xiao Jin was still standing in front, He Qingyun stepped forward and pulled him to the back, and glared at him and said, "What are you staring at?"
At this time, they saw that Hongchen sprinkled a layer of unknown objects on the door, and the door lock began to shake, and then slowly shook very strongly, and suddenly there were many needles rushing out of the lock, Xiao Jin just wanted to step forward to block it, but saw that those needles were all like they had eyes, and they all bypassed Hongchen and shot into the wall behind him. After all the needles were shot out, He Qingyun saw that the lock had changed from iron and copper to black.
Hongchen stood there and said, "Are you sure there is a cheat in this door?" I can only open this one door, the locks are too strong, and there are hidden weapons. ”
He Qingyun was in a hurry, he said: "How can this be, can't you open these door locks?"
Hongchen sprinkled another layer of powder on the door and said, "I can only open one door, and I can't do anything about the rest."
He Qingyun was still trying to say something, but was stopped by Xiao Jin. Ji Qingyi said: "It's okay, as long as you can go in and open up the other rooms."
Hongchen said "Ah", "You still want to destroy the room?"
He Qingyun rubbed his eyes and said, "Otherwise? We need to see if there are cheats elsewhere, otherwise how can we find them? ”
Hongchen was about to say something, but suddenly a black thing shot out from the side, and as soon as he dodged it, the colored thing fell to the ground. Ji Qingyi and the three of them leaned over to take a look, and found that it was a small black worm.
Gu worms? He Qingyun looked at Ji Qingyi and said, "There are Gu worms, how can there be Gu worms?"
Ji Qingyi didn't know very well, but quickly took out the poison from his pocket and sprinkled it on the Gu worm's body, and the Gu worm immediately melted at a speed visible to the naked eye. Xiao Jin stood next to Hongchen and said, "Be careful, there are Gu worms in here."
"Gu worms?" Hongchen asked, "What is a Gu worm?"
Xiao Jin said: "Gu worms are a kind of living creature that can burrow into your body, suck your blood, and then kill you."
Hongchen was stunned and said: "There is no such thing in the Nightmare Palace, I have never heard of it, and Wumei will not use this kind of thing to set up mechanisms."
Xiao Jin frowned and said, "So, your sister should have made some kind of agreement with the Gu practitioner."
Hongchen was stunned again, he lowered his head and didn't speak, and continued to sprinkle powder on the door.
Xiao Jin looked at him and said, "You powder, but what does it do?"
Hongchen paused and said, "It has a corrosive effect, and the mechanism in the door lock can be removed, and then we can go in."
Xiao Jin asked again: "You said that you can only open a door for us, is it because you didn't bring enough powder?"
Hongchen glanced at him and said, "No, it's because my internal strength is not enough, and I can't open so many locks."
"I have internal strength." Xiao Jin said again.
Hongchen glanced at him contemptuously and said, "But you don't know how to spell."
Xiao Jin opened his mouth and stopped talking. At this time, He Qingyun looked nervously at the door and said, "You say, is there a place where Xiaobai is closed in this door?"
Ji Qingyi also stared at the door nervously, shook his head and said, "There is no way to be sure now, but judging from the cloud of Gu worms that ran out of it just now, it is very likely that this is the case." ”
"So many Gu worms, so many Gu worms." He Qingyun muttered to himself: "So many Gu worm Xiaobai must be afraid to die."
Ji Qingyi also bit her lip and didn't speak, she walked to Hongchen's side and said, "How long is it?"
Hongchen turned his head to look at her and said, "Soon, wait a minute, there are a lot of mechanisms in this door, but maybe the cheats are really inside."
Ji Qingyi nodded and said, "Maybe Xiaobai is also inside."
Hongchen frowned and said, "There may be Gu worms in it, such a small child."
Ji Qingyi nodded and said, "Those people asked your sister to help catch Xiaobai, just to make Xiaobai a living Gu."
"Living Gu?" Hongchen was stunned and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you rescue Xiaobai."
He paused and said, "Also, my sister must not know that they caught Xiaobai to be a living Gu to help them, and I am here to apologize to you for my sister."
He Qingyun shook his head and said, "It's okay, as long as Xiaobai is okay in the end, you can open the door as soon as possible now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the lock cracked, and then I opened the crack in the door. In an instant, a terrible scream pierced from inside.
He Qing was stunned, took a step forward and shouted, "Xiaobai, is it you?" Xiaobai? ”
But there was no reaction inside, but there were still shouts coming through, and He Qingyan was so anxious that he turned around in the same place.
Ji Qingyi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, wait for Hongchen to open the door." Ji Qingyi wanted to cry uncomfortably when she heard this terrible scream, she thought about how such a lovely child could withstand such a huge pain.
At this moment, Hongchen took a step back, clutched his chest and said, "There is poisonous gas in it, have you taken the pill I gave you?"
Xiao Jin stepped forward to support him, nodded and said, "I've eaten it all."
Hongchen stood up and said, "Okay, there is still one step left, the door can be opened, but I don't know if it will fly out of the hidden weapon after opening, you should pay more attention."
The three of them nodded, and now they were next to Hongchen, and at this time, Hongchen took out an object similar to a spoon from his arms and threw it at the door, and the door opened with a 'boom'. Just the moment it was opened, a stream of white gas gushed out, which was very numerous and very thick.
Several of them hurriedly squatted down and covered their noses with their sleeves, but the rich white gas seemed to be mixed with a trace of bitterness, which made Ji Qingyi inexplicably reminded of the smog in Beijing. Ji Qingyi coughed a few times, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw several swords shooting out of it.
So Ji Qingyi hurriedly shouted: "There are arrows!"
At this time, Xiao Jin hurriedly drew his saber and blocked the sudden arrow in front of her, and at this time, Ji Qingyi's afterglow looked at the wall on the right side, and something similar to a mechanism appeared. She was stunned and said, "The mechanism is on, what's on the wall?"
He Qingyun and the three of them looked at Ji Qingyi's gaze, and they were all taken aback.
