Yu Moji woke up coughing.

After she woke up, she realized that she had been moved to a place with air at about the moment she choked on water, otherwise she would not have survived so well.

Even so, a few breaths before she fell unconscious still poured a lot of water into her chest. The water in the pool is so clear that it looks drinkable; But when the pool water reaches the viscera that shouldn't go, it's also very uncomfortable.

Yu Mo doesn't have much experience in other things, but he is very familiar with this kind of thing as falling and fainting. She was lucky this time, and it didn't seem to be a broken bone.

This made her barely put her mind at ease. There are several parts of her body, such as her left arm, which has been broken several times, and she really can't stand another toss.

Yu Moji vaguely remembered that the moment she finally bumped into the mirage, she subconsciously tried to curl up and try to protect her face with her two hands—she didn't feel sorry for this worthless face, but she was worried that she would blind the most vulnerable eye.

In desperation, she forgot that she was still wearing a mask on her head.

Under the pressure, the hard shell on the outside of the mask was crushed in an instant, but the inner layer provided a fairly reliable cushion. So Yu Moji's two innocent hands became the most seriously injured.

The torn muzzle had scraped off both of her palms, and her left hand had been pierced by a splitting spike. At this moment, the blood hole in her hand had dried up, but judging by the pool of blood on the ground, she estimated that she had suffered a lot of crimes.

It's not bad to be able to faint when it's most painful.

Yu Moji endured the pain and moved his fingers. The biggest action she could make at this moment was nothing more than that.

The beetle rope that had been used to protect her was now tied from head to toe. This thing is indeed reliable for life-saving; At this moment, it is used to bind hostages, and the superiority of performance is not far behind.

At the end of the day, tools are just tools, and good and evil are all about the people who use them.

It's not the first time that Yu Moji has been tied up, and this kind of thing doesn't scare her anymore. It's just that to her surprise, the knot tied at the end of the beetle snake rope turned out to be the kind that Tu Lian taught her on Chilu Mountain in the past.

She had expected that only people walking in the snowy mountains would use these things.

Yu Moji used to be a little shallow in his own talents, and he was quite disdainful of the relatively primitive lock used by Tu Lian, and even made some improvements; Now she was so bound by this thing that she couldn't move. It seems that the world is not only unpredictable, but also often slaps people in the face.

She was tied up into a dumpling and thrown into this strange cave. Based on the humidity around them and the texture of the rocks, Yu Moji estimated that this place should not be far from the deep pool they had been in.

The cave was small, with only one exit, and it was so black that it was impossible to see the outside at all; Leaning on the inside, it was actually a Jin Niang who was tied into another zongzi.

Yu Moji felt strange. I am afraid that the only one who can tie them up here is Lao Meng. But with the tacit understanding and friendship between Lao Meng and Jin Niang...... She couldn't figure out why Jin Niang also suffered this fate.

However, even in this case, the moving bright color on Jin Niang's body has not faded. At a glance, Yu Moji actually felt that the snake rope that bound Jin Niang was better than the one on his body.

Jin Niang is still in a coma. There was a rare expression of pain on that elf-like face.

Yu Moji is obviously unable to protect herself, and she is actually a little distressed for her at this moment.

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside the exit of the cave.

Yu Mojian's eyes widened, and he watched as the person who suspected the initiator came in with a short body - it was indeed Lao Meng.

Lao Meng didn't mean to pay attention to the ink marks at all. He walked straight to Jin Niang's side, squatted down and gently patted Jin Niang's shoulder, and called her name very gently, "Ah Jin." ”

Yu Moji watched all this in silence.

Out of trust in Yuan Pingzhi and Lu Chen, she followed Jin Niang to the deep pool; And because of the ease and calmness shown by Jin Niang and Lao Meng in the mirage, they temporarily believed in this enigmatic man.

This kind of gratuitous credulity obviously harmed the ink marks; But even if she chooses not to believe Lao Meng, what will be the result?

This is the world in the pot created by Lao Meng. In the deep water, she did not have the ability to survive alone.

"Sir, you can tie me up." Yu Moji thought for a while, and finally spoke. Based on her reverence for the capable Yanshi, she still maintains respect for Lao Meng between her words. "Why do you want to hurt Jin Niang?"

"You're wrong," Lao Meng sat down beside Jin Niang and said to Yu Mojian, "I did this to protect her." ”

"What kind of protection is this?" The ink marks are not afraid of color. At this point, it's useless to be afraid. She looked at Lao Meng and Jin Niang and said, "Isn't this a conspiracy between Jin Niang and you?" ”

"Of course not." Lao Meng glanced at Yu Moji and said, "I was able to enter this deep pool with the help of an old friend, Ah Jin. But her original intention was actually just to find someone for Lu Chen who could help him design the underwater armor. He said, smiling sarcastically and sadly, "but I have turned to me, the 'water ghost' who can't return to the Council at all." ”

Yu Mochen heard this, only to feel that there was something in the words, and couldn't help blurting out, "You were really the master of the Cardinal in the past?" ”

"There's nothing to hide from you." Lao Meng said frankly, "Although the style of the cardinal's armor is changeable, it is essentially the same set of logic. Although I have been living alone for many years, it is impossible for me to completely get rid of this logic when I make a mirage, you have been studying in the Council for a long time, and if you look at it a few more times, you will naturally find out. As he spoke, he exclaimed, "What you learn when you are young has a profound impact on people. ”

Yu Moji was ashamed at first, because she never seemed to notice this; But in retrospect, it was.

When she first arrived near the Mirage, she didn't feel too much surprise at the oversized armor, as it was essentially no different from anything else the Cardinals had made. What really impressed her was the details inside the mirage that were more reflective of her personal ingenuity.

She could see that although Lao Meng had some kind of long-lasting relationship with the Cardinal, he still absolutely recognized the unprecedented achievements made by the Cardinal in the study of Yanjia.

At the same time, she was also glad that Lao Meng still had the patience to talk to her.

If things really go as she thinks, then her entire life is probably in the hands of this person. The more Lao Meng spoke, the more likely he was to expose flaws, so he listened very carefully to every word he said.

Yu Mochen thought that this person, who was also obsessed with the study of Yanjia as himself, must have some hardship in doing so. She decided to take a gamble and change her role through conversation, from a hostage to a junior who talked to Lao Meng, and maybe she could find a chance to escape.

Yu Mochen thought for a while, and said, "Old man, I think it's a little strange when I hear what you say. ”

"How?" Lao Meng can still make a deferential posture at this moment, and said, "What do you think?" ”

"Sir, you are a very capable Yanshi, and what you said is also very reasonable, I naturally agree." Yu Mojin said while complaining that his farts have really improved a lot, "I'm just wondering, you obviously live with Xu Fuzi in Aige, why do you say it's 'wandering alone'?" Isn't Master Xu from the Cardinal? Most of the knowledge that Xu Fuzi taught me is obviously in the same vein as the things of the Cardinal. You also told me before that many of the two shelves of books in your house were compiled by Xu Fuzi. ”

"You have always been said to be a careful and intelligent child, and it is easy to integrate the things that different people teach you." Lao Meng smiled bitterly and said, "Xu Da is not from the Cardinal. He was a student I taught. ”

Yu Moji's heart is really praised, if she is really so careful and smart, she will not fall into this step; Her face naturally showed curiosity, and she said to Lao Meng, "All of Master Xu's achievements in Yanjia are all from you, old man?" ”

"You can't say that." Lao Meng said, "Xu Da himself is a very wise person. The study of mere armor is not difficult for him. ”

"In this way, sir, you used to be kind to me." Yu Moji tried to have a relationship with Lao Meng Pan without a trace, "After all, I was brought out by Master Xu, and I am his apprentice." That's your apprentice, sir. ”

"There's nothing to worry about about this kind of thing." Lao Meng waved his hand and said, "I'd rather not help Xu Da teach you before." In that case, I won't hesitate to kill you later. ”

When Yu Mochen heard this, he immediately felt that he had a big opportunity.

When Lao Meng talked to her, he still maintained that kind attitude, and he didn't look like the villain who kidnapped her; Moreover, according to the meaning of these words, Lao Meng should still be hesitating, and may not take action against her as a hostage until he is forced to do so.

Yu Mochen tried hard to hold down the butterfly fluttering with excitement in her heart, she deliberately misinterpreted Lao Meng's meaning, and sighed softly, "Since the old gentleman doesn't plan to keep me alive, you might as well let me be a ghost." "What do you have with the Cardinal?" I need to be involved as an innocent person. ”

"You're an old gentleman, have you ever thought about how old I am?" Lao Meng smiled bitterly, "I'm only five years older than Lu Chen. ”

Yu Moji was secretly taken aback. This person with gray sideburns turned out to be the year of knowing the destiny of heaven.

He has aged so fast, has he suffered a lot of pain?

Yu Mojin remembered that when her mother was alive, she also aged very quickly. It is difficult to say whether this aging is caused by physical torture or because the inner strength has been destroyed by too much suffering for too long.

Yu Mojin sighed and said, "I really didn't see it. I always thought that sir, you were the same age as Master Xu. ”

"You're not mistaken, the two of us are indeed the same age." Lao Meng's voice revealed a deep sadness, "Xu Da will fall to this point today, and it is also thanks to me." The pain on his face became more and more intense, "But this whole thing, in the final analysis, is still Lu Chen's fault." I came this time, even if it wasn't for myself, to avenge Xu Da. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Jin Niang again, probably thinking that Lu Chen was Jin Niang's husband after all, and sighed in distress.

"I don't understand that." Yu Mochen said strangely, "Since Mr. Xu said that Master Xu was not born in the Cardinal, he and his teacher ...... What are the festivals between Mr. Lu? ”

She thought about the wonderful talents that Xu Fuzi had shown in the past in the study of Yanjia, and said in her heart, could it be that Lu Chen was jealous because of this, so he forced Xu Fuzi and Lao Meng to go to a place like Waige?

But this is groundless speculation after all, and Yu Moji has no intention of asking Lao Meng for confirmation. Her teacher wouldn't be that kind of person.

Lao Meng looked at her deeply, "You worshipped Lu Chen as a teacher?" ”
