Chapter 407: Wan Liang is arrested
Seeing that the fat man quickly disappeared at the end of my vision, I gritted my teeth and took out a rope, wrapped it around a protruding stone on the edge of the cliff, and hung it down with a poisonous butterfly.
We hung in mid-air, and beneath our feet was an abyss.
The poisonous butterfly was obviously a little afraid of heights, and it stuck to me with its eyes closed, and its hands were tightly tied around my waist.
But at the critical moment, she didn't make a sound, pursed her mouth and held back.
In fact, I also had a chill down my spine, and I didn't dare to look down.
"Don't be afraid." I comforted her.
The poisonous butterfly nodded with its eyes closed, and its hands tightened more and more, obviously not having much effect.
I endured my dizziness and looked down, and found that there was a recessed place more than 20 meters below where I could settle down, so I slowly loosened the rope, slid down little by little, and when I reached the position, I kicked my foot on the stone wall with my foot, and jumped in with the help of the swinging momentum.
The poisonous butterfly let out a roar, and the frightened body tightened.
It wasn't until she landed that she let go, squinted half of her eyes and saw that she was still on the edge of the cliff, and hurriedly pulled me back and stuck to the stone wall.
I was amused by her appearance, and I pulled the rope off, and leaned against the stone wall.
This is a depression in the cliff wall, and the depression is about a foot and a half, although it is irregular, but there is no problem with the two people in Tibet.
In order to avoid being detected as much as possible, we also stand with our feet sideways to prevent the toes from leaking out.
Soon, there was the sound of hounds barking wildly, speeding towards the edge of the cliff, and the sound of people making noise.
In a few moments, they rushed to the edge of the cliff, and many pebbles were kicked off the cliff by the hurried hounds, and one fell right in front of me.
The poisonous butterfly and I were so nervous that we couldn't even hold our breath!
Whether you can hide from it or not depends on this one!
"Shi Ye, this is a cliff, I didn't find it." Someone ran to the edge of the cliff, paused, and reported to the back.
"Look carefully, don't let go of any dead end!" A slightly shrill voice ordered.
"Yes!" Many people responded in unison.
Then, a dense rain of stones was kicked down, and the mud and sand fell.
I was so nervous with the poisonous butterfly that I longed to stick to the stone wall as thin as a piece of paper, for fear of being discovered. If this place is blocked, it will really be a place where there is no place to die.
I could clearly feel that there were already many people standing on the edge of the cliff at this moment, looking down; I prayed desperately in my heart that the wind would not blow now, otherwise the wind would blow a corner of the clothes and expose it.
"It's time to move to another place, this location is called Wanren Cliff, and it is impossible to fall or cross it without prior preparation." At this time, another magnetic voice spoke, listening to the timbre should be a middle-aged person, and there was no respect in the words of others.
The sharp voice sounded again: "Hehe, Brother Weitang, Shi is a little curious, if you really catch Ling Gongzi later, what are you going to do?" ”
"I have my own plans, so I won't worry about Brother Shi, the goal between you and me is the messenger of Miao Village and the thief surnamed Ma." The middle-aged man was obviously a little displeased by the question.
"That's natural, Shi just wants to remind Brother Weitang that since he has stood in line, there is no turning back." Shi Shiran said in a sharp voice.
"I have my own measure, according to the agreement, after the matter is completed, all good will belong to you, you leave some subordinates for us to give us an errand, and we will open an opening for you in Yichang to let you leave." The middle-aged man's tone was noticeably colder, and he said a piece of news that surprised me.
Wan Liang has been arrested!
The poisonous butterfly's breath was obviously disordered, it was her second uncle, who was arrested in order to buy us time to escape.
"Woo Woo ......"
At that moment, there was another dense barking of hounds from above.
"Master Shi, the hound has made a discovery!" Someone immediately shouted.
"Chase, you must find the poisonous butterfly and the thief surnamed Ma!" A sharp voice immediately ordered.
"Yes!" More than a dozen people let out a neat low roar.
Then I heard the sound of the hounds barking and the footsteps of the footsteps.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and I finally got out of the way.
"The second uncle has been arrested, no, I'm going to save him!" The poisonous butterfly muttered, her face full of anxiety.
"Don't worry, your second uncle is still alive, this is at least good news." I hurriedly reassured her, now is not the time to be impulsive, Wan Liang must be detained elsewhere now, I don't know how to save the location?
The poisonous butterfly's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she said, "Then do you know why they didn't kill the second uncle?" ”
I was stunned and shook my head, I really hadn't thought about this layer.
"Because the corpse chaser wants to refine the second uncle into a golden armor corpse!" The poisonous butterfly's anxious tears came down at once.
I was taken aback and felt a chill in my heart, I have also heard of refining armor corpses, it is said that the process of refining is very harmful, not with corpses, but with living people. Of course, dead corpses can also be used, but dead corpses can only be refined to the point of iron armored corpses at most, and to refine silver armored corpses and gold armored corpses, it is necessary to use living people, or people who have just died and their souls are not yet dispersed.
The refining process of the armor corpse is inhumane and extremely cruel, and in the end, regardless of whether the refining is successful or not, the person who is refined will be destroyed, and there is no chance of reincarnation.
In view of this, it is no wonder that the poisonous butterfly cried urgently.
"Don't worry, we still have a chance." I immediately thought of a key point, and said: "Didn't they just say that they would put a hole in Yichang, then after the corpse is completed, it will definitely enter Xiangxi from Yichang, as long as we can send this news out before they leave, your second uncle will have a chance to save it." ”
The poisonous butterfly wiped a handful of tears, nodded heavily, and said, "Yes, there is still a chance, there is still a chance." ”
After saying that, she said to me again, "Then let's go up quickly." ”
"Don't worry, they haven't gone far yet, it's too dangerous to go up, in case we fall into their hands, your second uncle will be really dangerous." I grabbed the butterfly's shoulders and tried to reassure her.
What is needed most now is composure, panic will only send you into a corner.
"Uh-huh." The poisonous butterfly nodded hurriedly.
In fact, I was most worried about the fat man at this time, listening to the conversation between the two people above, one of them must be the father of the fat man, so I asked the poisonous butterfly if he knew the person who spoke just now.
Poison Butterfly also calmed down a little at this time, and nodded: "The leader of the corpse gate is called Shi Changgeng, who is Shi Chang'an's uncle, and also the right and left hand of Shi Buren, the owner of the corpse gate, who has a very high status in the door, and the other is Miao Zong's father, called Miao Weitang, from now on, he obviously fell to Miao Han's father and son." ”
"Shi Changgeng?" My heart was cold when I heard it, no wonder he called me a thief surnamed Ma, obviously hated me to the bone, it turned out to be Shi Changan's own uncle. Shi Changan was completely destroyed in my hands, it's strange that he didn't hate me, fortunately he wasn't discovered just now, otherwise it would be a luxury to be caught and killed.
"Fat people aren't in danger, are they?" I asked worriedly.
The fat man is an illegitimate child, and his mother is a J girl who is not on the stage, and she has no status in the Miao family, and she has not even entered the genealogy of the Miao family, the reason is that his father does not recognize him as a son at all, and thinks that the fat man is a stain on his life.
The fat man also told me before that his father was because he was drunk and forced her mother, and his mother died not long after he was born; Although Miao Weitang knew about his existence, he didn't care, so that the fat man almost starved to death outside.
In the end, the fat man's uncle, that is, Miao Miao's father, couldn't stand it anymore, and took the bloodline of Miao Zong back to the Miao family.
I'm really worried that his "father" who only has a seed and no humanity will be cruel to him!
In the face of conflicts of interest, family affection is sometimes unreliable, not to mention the awkward relationship between the fat man and Miao Weitang.
"The fat man should not be in danger, at most he will suffer a little, after all, he is father and son." Poisonous Butterfly Road.
I nodded slowly, and for now I could only hope for that.
……
After that, we waited a little longer, but we didn't hear anything, so I said go up and have a look.
The poisonous butterfly told me to be careful. I nodded, slowly moved out a little and stood at the very edge, tied the rope to a stone, and wrapped it hard around the stone hanging from it.
It took me a few tries to hang the rope up, and then I grabbed the rope and climbed up.
Poked his head out and observed for a while, but found nothing abnormal, so he flipped over, put the rope down again, and let the poisonous butterfly tie himself up.
The poisonous butterfly did so, and after tying her up, I pulled her up.
Back on the cliff, we discerned the direction, at this time the poisonous butterfly also calmed down, said: "We now have three roads, one to the south, through the primeval jungle area back to the southwest of Hubei Province, as long as you get out of the forest area, you will definitely be able to get the means of communication, but this one takes a long time, it is estimated that it will take at least two days; The second road to the east, which is the road from which we came, is dangerous, and the corpse gate may have blocked the road long ago; The third is to find a place to go down this cliff, the water flows to a low place, if you find a big river down the river, it must be enough to float to the inhabited area in half a day. ”
I nodded, and she was very analytical.
After thinking about it for a while, the first one to the south is too time-consuming, if the corpse gate has not caught us and gives up, Wan Liang may be taken away in half a day, and he will be able to cross Xiangxi at night.
Xiangxi is the base camp of the corpse gate, and it would be pure wishful thinking to rescue it.
The second one is too dangerous, and it is impossible for such an easy road to open for us to leave.
Thinking of this, I looked at the bottomless abyss in front of me, only this one is safer and saves time.
Seeing that I seemed to have made up my mind, the poisonous butterfly said: "This abyss is called Wan Ling Cliff, I heard Miao Miao's cousin mention it before, saying that there is an opening in the west that can go down." ”
"Really?" I raised my eyebrows, and if that's the case, that's what to say.
Poison Butterfly thought about it for a moment and nodded slowly: "I should be right." ”
"In that case, let's go down the cliff." I made a quick decision, and now I have to race against the clock.
So, we walked along the edge of the cliff and headed west.
