After the proprietress finished speaking, she got up and walked in front of the two of them, her smile was soft, but it seemed to be mixed with a trace of helpless sadness, and then she walked to the bookcase on the side, and pressed the hidden mechanism on the wall, and the bookcase automatically moved to the side, revealing the secret passage behind it.

The proprietress glanced back at them again and said with a smile: "If I guessed correctly, the two of you must have been sent by the Chi City Lord to spy on intelligence, right? And this Bingyue girl is not a blind girl? I have always liked to open the skylight and say bright words, so please let the two of you reveal your identities here, so let's talk closer, right?"

Yuejian knew that their identities had been recognized by the boss lady, and they had already shown their hole cards, so they no longer covered it up, and hugged their fists and saluted the boss lady, "See you next month, from the tooth of the war dragon, this is the sister of the city lord of Chi - Chi Mudie." Since this matter is related to the Water Demon Qi and the Sealing Stone, the stakes are very high, so I have concealed a lot before, and I ask the boss lady to forgive me!"

Chi Mudie also naughtily stuck out her tongue, opened her eyes and hugged her fist to the proprietress to salute, when the proprietress saw Chi Mudie's blue eyes, she was subconsciously stunned, and then smiled: "No wonder Chi Cheng mainly asked his sister to pretend to be a blind girl, these good-looking eyes are really exactly the same as him!"

After the proprietress finished speaking, she looked out the window at the sandstorm that blew the sky gray, and continued with empty eyes: "Presumably the city lord of Chi is also nearby......, right?

When night fell, the proprietress asked a few men to open the huge iron gate of the sand-proof wall outside the Tumen Inn into a gap large enough for people to enter, and six people wearing windproof cloaks and hoods walked in one after another in the storm of yellow sand.

After the six people came in, they did not immediately take off their hoods, but first shook off the dust on their bodies, and then led them into the inn by the proprietress herself, and after going up to the second floor, the proprietress let them into her room, and told the two men who followed the last to let them guard the door and not let anyone approach.

In the room, Chi Mudie and Yuejian were already sitting at the table waiting, and when they saw a few people entering the room, Chi Mudie greeted them happily, "Brother, you are finally here, I am still worried that the wind and sand outside are too big, and you are swept away by this strong wind!"

After the six of them entered the house, they took off their hoods, and Chi Muyan smiled gently and touched her sister's two twisted pigtails, "Where does the wind dare to sweep our elders away, but it's you, why did you come here for a day and were exposed?

Chi Mudie pouted and said: "No, it was I who asked Tutu to perform the fire ring, but it burned a piece of hair, and it was recognized by the proprietress." ”

Chi Muyan stretched out her slender finger and nodded at her nose, "Only you can come up with such a peculiar idea as letting the Pink Rabbit King perform the Drill Fire Ring." Then he looked at the proprietress again, smiled and apologized to her: "Boss, because this matter is more serious, please ask Haihan if you are offended." ”

The proprietress also smiled and nodded to him to show understanding, and then moved her eyes to the rest of the people who followed in, and those people also took off their hoods after entering the house, the proprietress glanced at it, and said in surprise: "Yo! These are all big people who come here, the elder of the war dragon, the eldest lady of the Lin City Lord's family, a pair of brothers and sisters of the Human Emperor's Guihai family, and the second son of the Wolf Emperor, it seems that ......" The proprietress said this deliberately, and her tone suddenly became cold, "It seems that I have to hand over this sealing stone today?"

Seeing that the boss's face changed, Chi Muyan hurriedly stepped forward and explained with a smile: "The temperament of the boss's wife, everyone here also understands it, there must be something unspeakable, you might as well say it today and help you find a way to solve it, wouldn't it be better?"

The proprietress sneered, "Hmph, how to solve it, how to solve it, just like Yujia Village did three years ago? The Chi City Lord is an adult, and he can kill all the villagers who are infected by the demonic qi, but what will happen to you if you replace those villagers with your relatives, friends, and deceased?"

After hearing this, Chi Mudie looked up at her brother in surprise, but Chi Muyan chuckled and patted her head, and then calmly looked up at the proprietress of the hostess, "The matter of demonic qi infection that happened in Yujia Village three years ago was indeed dealt with by me, and it did make some villagers die unjustly, but I think that in that matter, I, Chi Muyan, have a clear conscience." ”

The proprietress stared at Chi Muyan's eyes for a while, as if she was shocked by his calmness, sighed, turned around and lit a torch, walked to the secret passage behind the bookcase, and said to everyone without looking back, "Come with me." ”

So everyone followed the footsteps of the proprietress into the depths of the secret passage, which was a staircase all the way down, and at the end was a tunnel leading to the outside of the Tumen Inn, all the way to where it extended. After everyone followed the proprietress out of the tunnel for a distance, Chi Mudie listened to the storm on the ground above them that seemed to be getting farther and farther away, so she asked in a low voice: "Brother, we have been far away from the Tumen Inn, where are we going?"

But the proprietress heard this, looked back at her, and asked with a smile: "Yo!

Chi Muyan smiled and replied truthfully: "No, the sister is just outstanding in hearing." ”

The proprietress nodded, and then explained with a chuckle: "We did go out of the sandstorm range of the Tumen Inn, and the tunnel we are walking now leads to the Layue Ruins near Layue Lake. Everyone, don't be impatient, walk a little longer, and you'll be there in a corner. ”

After everyone followed the proprietress for a while, as she said, they came to a corner, and Chi Mudie suddenly heard some terrible sound and stopped, grabbed his brother's hand, frowned and shook his head.

Chi Muyan smiled at her gently, took her little hand with one hand, and patted her gently on the back of her hand with the other hand, signaling that she didn't have to be afraid.

The warmth of her brother's palm and Canglan's gentle smile gave Chi Mudie great psychological comfort, so she smiled again, followed everyone and continued to move forward, and after walking for a while, the terrible sound that Chi Mudie heard like the gasping of a giant beast had become deaf and audible, and the air around her gradually began to be filled with a foul fishy smell.

Cang Lan specially changed into a pure white priest's outfit today, holding a white jade staff in his hand, and the robe dragging the ground showed a sacred white light, and those filthy air seemed to be quietly avoided when he walked by, but as they continued to go deeper, the filthy air also became thicker, and everyone felt like they were wrapped in a layer of invisible silt.

Cang Lan saw that Chi Mudie beside her also frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, so he took two steps forward and rushed to the position in front of her, raised his staff and used the purified white light to help her disperse the filthy air that was blowing in her face.

Chi Mudie looked at the pure and upright back of Cang Lan in front of her, and suddenly felt like a world away, and involuntarily stretched out her hand and gently grabbed the hem of his robe, Cang Lan's body stiffened slightly, and then turned her head and smiled at her gently, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid." ”

Although there were only these two short words, Cang Lan's voice seemed to have some kind of heart-warming magic, which made Chi Mudie's previous discomfort disappear in an instant. So Chi Mudie also raised her head and smiled at him reassuringly, but her hand still didn't let go, Cang Lan didn't say anything, but approached her quietly, and with her pace, let her continue to pull the hem of her clothes forward, her face was slightly ruddy, and the corners of her mouth were smiling.

Chi Muyan watched all these subtle movements beside him, and couldn't help but shake his head, and sighed in his heart: Canglan, Canglan, why are you so wooden? Can't you just give her a hand to pull?

At this moment, there was a sound of iron chains rubbing and screams in front of him, and the proprietress who led the way also walked to the end of the tunnel, opened the iron door that closed the road, turned around and glanced at everyone with a desolate expression, and said weakly: "It's here." ”

Everyone followed the proprietress into the iron door, inside is a large underground warehouse, there is another round hole in the back, I don't know where it leads, everyone looked carefully and found that there was a big iron cage in the corner of the empty warehouse, the kind of beast-like heavy breathing, The sound of chain friction and screams came from there, because of the dim light, everyone did not see clearly what was held in the iron cage, at this moment, the proprietress suddenly sighed, raised the torch in her hand to light several torches on the wall, and looked back at Chi Muyan, but her eyes were erratic.

"Did the Chi City Lord ever remember the family that lived closest to the entrance of the cave that emitted the demonic qi during the demonic qi infection incident that occurred in Yujia Village three years ago?"

Everyone looked at the expression of the proprietress during the questioning, from nothing to worry, and from worry to slight anger, and they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, the president just wanted to step forward to make a round, but saw Chi Muyan calmly take a step forward, and replied loudly: "If the boss lady is talking about people who are still alive, I may not remember, but those who died in front of me, I always keep in mind and dare not forget." ”

The proprietress seemed to be particularly satisfied with his answer, so she approached the iron cage and lit it up with the torch in her hand, "Did the Chi City Lord remember this child?"

The moment the iron cage was illuminated, everyone gasped when they saw the situation inside, only to see a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy locked up in the iron cage, ragged, tied to his limbs by thick iron chains, and from the ragged clothes, the black marks on the body were revealed, and everyone could see that this child had been seriously eroded by demonic energy.

Chi Muyan let go of her sister's hand and let her follow Canglan, and she approached the iron cage to take a closer look, the child in the cage seemed to be aware of it, suddenly opened her blood-red eyes, let out a beast-like roar, and began to struggle in the iron cage, the proprietress saw this and quickly took out the black stone and put it on top of the iron cage, and then a gentle white smoke from the black stone gently wrapped the child in it, and the child slowly settled down and closed his eyes again.

Chi Muyan walked to the iron cage to take a closer look, then looked up and asked the proprietress "This is the child of the family of three who lives near the entrance of the cave?"

The proprietress looked at him and replied with a smile that seemed to be a smile: "The mother of this child is my biological sister, and she is also one of the villagers who was killed by you in Yujia Village three years ago. ”

Chi Muyan suddenly clapped her hands and smiled calmly: "Oh! I see, so the boss lady is here to seek revenge on me today?"

The proprietress looked at him in disbelief, narrowed her eyes and said, "The city lord of Chi is calm, it is because he sees that there are so many people present to support you, so I don't dare to make a move on you?"

Chi Muyan hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, boss, you misunderstood, I just think that if you don't even dare to admit what you have done, what can you call a man? Besides, I said before that I have a clear conscience about the matter of Yujia Village." And if I really do something wrong, I'm afraid that our elders will be the first to kill me!"
