Chapter 32: The Bloody Well
"Liangzhou Xicheng Land Temple?" Leng Ning muttered to himself.
Hearing Leng Ning's words, Wu Qingcheng hurriedly poked his head over, and after reading the content, he pinched his fingers and counted: "Tianyin has been three years, and it is ...... now Eighteen years!"
Leng Ning also looked surprised, because he knew that Wu Qingcheng was now eighteen years old.
In a market at the entrance of Chengdong City, Liangzhou, a cold-clothed man and a gray-robed black-faced Taoist priest were asking Bai Chunyun around.
"Eldest sister, do you know someone named Bai Chunyun?"
"What are you doing?" asked a round-faced woman covered in greasy clothes and carrying a large bundle of vegetables.
"We picked up what she left at the Soul Hunting Station. Leng Ning said softly.
"Soul Hunting Station?" the woman threw the dish on the ground, "You're talking about the Soul Hunting Building, right?"
"Ahh ”
"Little brother, you two don't look like bad people, and there is a cultivator, I advise you to do what you should do, this thing can't be done by ganging up and fighting. Bai Chunyun has long been dead set on this, she is already dead. The round-faced woman sighed and went back to tending to the bundle of vegetables.
"Eldest sister, you are Bai Chunyun, right? Do you remember that eighteen years ago, in the Land Temple of Xicheng in Liangzhou, there was a baby who was taken away by a horse team selling horses in the Western Regions?" Wu Qingcheng asked in a trembling voice.
The round-faced woman raised her head abruptly and looked at Wu Qingcheng: "How do you know there is a horse team?"
"Eldest sister, is there a horse team?"
"Yes, a young couple and my mother were killed in that temple, and the boy and I survived. Later, a horse team passed by and sent me back to the city and took the child away, are you ......" The woman stared at Wu Qingcheng with her eyes and stood up in a panic.
"Sister, I'm that kid. Wu Qingcheng burst into tears, and the round-faced woman couldn't believe her ears, she couldn't stop crying, stepped forward and hugged Wu Qingcheng, crying: "It's really you, you're finally back, you're finally back......"
In the small room next to the bazaar, Bai Chunyun was still sobbing, and seeing Wu Qingcheng reminded her of what happened back then.
"Back then, when the bandits came, my mother hid me behind the clay statue of the Land Temple, and she had nowhere to hide, so she was caught and stabbed three times by Hu Tiezi's gang, one in the leg, one in the back, and one in the stomach, and then there was no movement. I was so frightened that I couldn't speak, and it took more than a year before I could speak again. Bai Chunyun talked about the events of the year over and over again.
"I, my father and mother are also bandits who met in the temple?" Wu Qingcheng asked.
"No, your family of three was captured by bandits, and when you came, your father and mother were out of gas. I don't know why, but the bandits put you on the offering table of the Land Temple. Then take away your father's corpse and my mother's corpse, if I weren't in the temple, no one knows what these bandits who have lost their conscience have done!" Bai Chunyun cried loudly as she spoke.
Wu Qingcheng was very sad when he learned of his life experience, but at the same time, he was full of questions about this bizarre and strange experience. It seems that all these mysteries can only be answered by the bandit Hu Tiezi.
Fifty miles west of Liangzhou City, there is a large mountain with lush forests.
Wu Qingcheng used Kunlun Xu's ethereal body method, and his body shape took the lead.
Leng Ning seemed to be walking slowly, but his feet did not fall.
Halfway up the mountain, the two of them had already faintly seen the outer guard tower with flags planted.
"Qingcheng, we can't enter directly from the main entrance. ”
"Are you afraid that we will be outnumbered?"
"That's not it, most of these bandits are reckless men who know how to do kung fu outside the door, I'm afraid that after we make a move, that Hu Tiezi will slip away first after getting the news, and we won't have anywhere to look for him." ”
"Well, Xiao Qi, you're right. ”
"Qingcheng, does Kunlun have any invisibility and concealment spells? Let's sneak into the lair of these bandits, subdue Hu Tiezi first, and then ask him about it. ”
"Yes, my medium-grade spirit weapon Yunxiao shirt has the magic ability to escape for a short time, but this clothes is only enough for one person to use it invisibly. ”
Leng Ning looked at Wu Qingcheng's gray-blue robe that had faded a little, and he really couldn't imagine that this was actually a medium-grade spiritual weapon, and couldn't help but be amazed: "Qingcheng, you're not simple, a medium-grade spiritual weapon actually let you wear it out." It's enough for one person to be invisible, I have a stealth method, let's go in a hurry. ”
Leng Ning's heart moved, and he disappeared into the air lightly.
Wu Qingcheng shook his robe, and the whole person disappeared.
The mountain is not high, but it has a large area.
Leng Ning and Wu Qingcheng came to the hall at the top of the mountain, only to see some minions walking around, listening to Bai Chunyun say that Hu Tiezi is a strong man who is higher than ordinary people, and he should be in his fifties according to his age.
The two searched stealthily for a long time, but they didn't find anything similar in appearance, so they finally had to catch a minions patrolling the perimeter and ask them.
Leng Ning shook Shura, pressed a thin minion to the wall and said coldly: "Tell me quickly, where is Hu Tiezi?"
"Who?" said the little minion in a trembling voice.
"Hu Tiezi, hurry up and take us to him!" Leng Ningyuan's eyes widened.
Wu Qingcheng picked up the waist knife and said fiercely: "If you dare to say a word, I will kill you!"
"Hero, I don't say it, I really don't dare to take you there, my eldest king has been dead for ten years, buried in Erpython Mountain, and there are poisonous snakes in that place. ”
"What, it's been dead for ten years?" Wu Qingcheng looked at Leng Ning, and continued to ask unwillingly, "Then who is your current king?"
"Hu Lei, Hu Tiezi's son. I don't know what you're here for, but if you're here to seek revenge, I advise you to hurry up. Our king's ability is much stronger than that of the old king, and a pair of iron palms are invincible all over the world. In the past ten years, no less than fifty masters have died at the hands of our king, and all of them have died with blood, which is miserable. The little minion looked at Wu Qingcheng and said.
"With your current situation, do you think it's appropriate to brag about yourself here? You want to scare the two of us, don't you?" Wu Qingcheng asked with a squint.
"Hero, I'm really not blowing, I'm doing it for both of you, our king's palm skills are really powerful, and our own people are afraid. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, where does Hu Lei live?" Leng Ning said in a low voice.
"Say it quickly!" Wu Qingcheng put the blade on the neck of the little minion.
The little minion trembled for a while and said, "At this time, the king should be practicing in the secret room. ”
"Where's the secret room?"
"Entering through the stone house in the backyard, there was a deep well with an iron cover, and it was down there. ”
Leng Ning flicked his neck, and the little minion immediately lost consciousness, threw himself into the dirt pit, and fell asleep.
Because of the stealth technique, although there were many guards in front of the stone house, the two easily blended in.
There was no light in the dark deep well, and Wu Qingcheng jumped down lightly without hesitation.
Leng Ning also jumped forward, falling lightly, he didn't expect this deep well secret passage to be so deep, if this light body kung fu is not good, he can't get in and out of here.
Wu Qingcheng used his hands and feet to exert force on the wall of the well to control the speed, and finally reached the bottom of the well, there was a doorway in front of him, and there was a faint light shaking.
The two glanced at each other and then stealthily entered the doorway again.
The dark doorway is a corridor, dark and damp, and the faint smell of blood wafting through the air makes people very uncomfortable.
"There is food and meat, hurry up and eat, can you eat so many good things at home? Hurry up and give me all the food, eat fat. A shrill voice came from afar.
After the corner, in a large iron cage, there were seven or eight people who described wilting, both men and women, who should be dressed as surrounding villagers.
Outside the cage stood two men, medium in stature, lean but with blazing eyes, one with a scar on his face serving food to the people in the cage, and a large wooden barrel mixed with all kinds of food.
The underground chamber is very small, except for the large iron cage, which is a sealed stone house on the inside. The stone house remained closed without a single movement.
Leng Ning and Wu Qingcheng hid in the corridor and waited patiently, and the two lean bandits who had finished their meals also sat on the stone pier and waited.
About half an hour later, a brass bell rang from the stone house. The two bandits breathed a sigh of relief, and finally waited for the summons. The bandit with a scar on his face approached the iron cage, picked up the key on his waist and opened the door with a bang, stretched out his finger and pointed to the two men and two women on the side, and screamed: "You four, come out!"
"Where, where?" asked a man in a trembling voice.
"Come out, come with me, if you don't obey, I'll kill you right now!" the scar man said fiercely as he stared at everyone.
The four of them looked at each other and silently followed the scar man out of the cage.
The iron door was locked again.
The scar man came to the stone house and pressed a stone on the wall, and an invisible stone door creaked and flipped over.
As the stone gate flipped over, a wave of heat with a fishy smell came to the face.
