CHAPTER XXXII

"Brother, how can I escape?"

"Hmmmยทยทยทยทยทยท"

Insufficient tilted his head and thought for a moment:

"Hide near here, wait for the thieves to chase them out, and then look for an opportunity to escape. โ€

Jin Chang'er said:

"Good!"

So the two of them took the easy path to hide. It was the time when Xuanyue was about to sink into the West Mountain, only the stars were brilliant, and the things on the road were unknown, and it was not enough to pull Chang'er one foot deep and one foot shallow along the dry riverbed xiangshang, and he was walking far and near, and suddenly stopped the road:

"Go back!"

"It's not enough for my brother to go back, but we'll be able to reach the thief's lair! Even if the thief comes to chase him, he can also flee farther. โ€

"That's what thieves think!"

Jin Chang'er secretly claimed to be good in her heart, and she didn't say much and hurried back with her shortcomings. In a short time, they were under the outer wall of the large manor. Its wall is several zhang high, every thirty or fifty zhang there is a small stone and wood pavilion of lookout, the pavilion upstairs is like the eaves of the eaves are tilted outward, the eaves hang a dead wind lamp, scatter the light of dusk. There was no one on the wall. Presumably sleepy and asleep. Lack and Chang'er tiptoed around the shadow of the wall for a long time, only to see a waterway hidden in the bushes under the wall.

"Chang'er, we went in from here, hid in its manor, and escaped quietly when they went out to look for it. โ€

"Brother, I listen to you. โ€

"Okay, go with a certain family!"

As he spoke, he separated the bushes and went in, and then let Chang'er follow him into the bushes, and then crawled into the secret mouth like a dog. Secretly speaking, there is more than half of the water in it, and Fang Yi and the water are gloomy, and he shuddered, and turned back to Chang'er and said:

"Chang'er, the water in the dark passage is very cold, you can be careful. โ€

"Yes, too. โ€

Then Chang'er also entered the water and came with her. Insufficient: Forward, like a blind man, stretching out his hands and groping forward.

"Huh, what is this? Fence? It's a fence! โ€

Holding a railing with both hands, he only pulled it hard, and with a bang, it was broken.

"It turned out to be wooden!"

Insignificant. Chang'er grinned and said nothing. What kind of wood is it there! It's obviously made of fine iron! Chang'er naturally won't say. With its supernatural powers, it has long been day and night, and it is like the original in the eyes. The two of them climbed ashore through the secret opening, and entered a large backyard through a small gate along the root of the inner wall. At that time, the sky was near dawn, and all things could be distinguished. Insufficient and Chang'er two people into the garden, see the strange flowers and trees in the rockery and small lake, the small stream above the porous bridge or such as the rainbow, or such as the full moon, the small buildings and pavilions next to the path are scattered, far or near. The bamboo and wood path in the small lake winds and turns into the small island in the middle of the lake. It's really a wealthy family's garden-like view.

"What kind of thief's nest is this! The family of scholars is nothing more than that!"

Not enough to sigh.

"Brother, maybe it's really a scholarly family!"

"It's getting clearer, it's better to hide early. โ€

It is not enough to sneak into a small building quietly with Chang'er. This building is located in a bamboo forest, one side of the water by the lake, three sides of the road, but its location is slightly secluded. The reason why this place was chosen is because it is remote and easy to escape. When the two of them entered the building, they saw that there were two floors inside, and there were several wooden tables and chairs on the first floor, and the dust on them could be distinguished. Apparently no one has come to clean it for a long time. And the arch at the entrance of the ladder on the second floor is like a rainbow, which actually occupies most of the first floor.

"Go upstairs!"

Insufficient commanded softly.

Chang'er followed closely and went up to the second floor. The interior is different. Four walls and three windows, a small table of eight immortals stands by the window, and only a chair is on the side. There is still a small bed of fine mahogany, but the bed is empty. There is a bookcase on the side of the bed, and a few idle books are placed diagonally in it. There are six teacups and one teapot on the table, all of which are placed randomly.

"Brother, this woman's boudoir!"

"Hmm. Chang'er, you and I each hold a window and rest for a while. As soon as there is movement, it is good to slip away. After carefully inspecting it, he pushed open the windows on three sides and then meditated and rested. This method of rest was passed down by his grandfather. First, he recited a mantra called the Golden Body Formula, and then calmly exhaled and fell asleep. This method falls asleep very quickly, and when I was young, I didn't like it, so I have been resting in this way. Later, his ancestors passed on another method, called the mantra of Taiyi Xuanshen Formula. This method is to fall asleep more deeply, that is, if there is a thunder sound in the sky, you can still fall asleep! Every second day, I was in good spirits.

On a moonless night, the stars are bright and dark. At night, the cool breeze in the mountains is blowing, and when you enter a small building, it is only cool into the people's hearts. That Jin Chang'er also meditates like Zen. It's just that from time to time, I will open my beautiful eyes and stare at it insufficiently. Seeing that this child was tall, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old after all. but to go through such suffering. Even though the young man in the sea of suffering in the mortal world is no more than that. But how can it be smooth sailing in cultivating and seeking the Tao? Maybe it would be good for him to let him suffer some hardships earlier! It's just that he is still young after all, and the young masters and sons of other immortal cultivation families are enjoying all their favor, and several immortal masters teach him to practice, and the elixir is rarely taken, and the magic power is also amazing! However, although he is a family of immortal cultivators who have been inherited for a long time, he still doesn't know what the cultivation is at such an age?

When it was dawn, I suddenly heard a commotion. I don't jump up at once.

"Presumably the thieves have already discovered that something is wrong! Chang'er, prepare early, if they come here, and you follow us, we will go from this path to the small gate of the backyard, and we will be able to get out of the small door! If there is any accident, quietly go to the mouth of the river sluice and dive out. โ€

"Brother, how can you know the path?"

Chang'er asked hypocritically.

"Last night, I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk. โ€

"Oh, why don't you wake me up?"

It turned out that it was not enough to see Chang'er asleep, so he quietly explored this place, and he already had a plan in mind.

Sure enough, the thieves got up early to patrol. When he saw that there was something wrong with the stone room, he opened the door and looked at it. But where is there anything to guard the brothers! Only the blood and the pools have all darkened. I was shocked! I knew that the time for the accident was not short! I immediately reported to the third master. While opening the stone gate, he rushed down the secret passage and saw the dead body, with its head shattered and its brains splashed everywhere, lying outside the prison door. Inside the prison, the three local people were tied hand and foot, their mouths were stuffed, they could not speak, and they were all dying.

"Untie the ropes!" the thieves untied the ropes of the other three and took out the rags from their mouths. When he asked carefully, he knew that the people had escaped in the middle of the night, so he helped the three of them out, and when they were not long outside, they only heard a humane:

"The three masters have arrived! The three masters have arrived!"

"What's going on?"

The one who was called the eldest brother by the third son said:

"Third master, our sins. โ€

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Yes! Last night, the three of us ate some wine together, but we heard the voices of people in the secret passage under the stone gate very chaotic, so we opened the stone gate to visit. It was also that we did not investigate for a while, but we were suddenly attacked by a strong man and knocked to the ground, and I didn't know who was going to do it, that is, we were already in the dungeon when we woke up. โ€

The third master only stared at this person, and his heart was sweating, and he didn't dare to look at it directly.

"Okay, this page has been revealed! Now the soldiers are divided into five routes, all the way to search Dazhai, not an inch of land will be spared! All the way to the deep mountains, all the way to the back and forth to find, all the way to lead, and then all the way to pack up things to wait for orders. โ€

"Yes!

"Remember, kill one when you see one, kill one pair when you see one! Be sure to annihilate them all, and leave no one alive!"

"Yes!"

The thieves roared and scattered, apparently well-trained. The three thieves just kowtowed to themselves and thanked themselves. The three masters thought for a while and said:

"Come on, take care of the four sentry posts and secret piles, and when a stranger arrives, go directly, don't ask him anything! In addition, report this matter to the second master!

"Yes!"

So there is a cottage here, and all the thieves are moving. Several teams of men and horses were murderous to encircle and annihilate the escaped merchants! And those dark piles and bright outposts occupied a very good area, and at this time, they also sharpened their knives and ambushed the merchants who broke in by mistake. In just one day and one night, all the merchants were killed and died! Each team came to report that there were two people missing, the man seemed to be a scholar, and the woman was beautiful, but she must have fled with the man. So the three masters ordered to go, and the teams searched carefully to make sure that the two were killed!
