Chapter 67: The Battle Without Salt (1)

After a few more walks, they saw a raised hill not far away. At the foot of the mountain, sparks flickered, dozens of people wrapped in white scarves, holding torches and steel knives, standing or sitting, it seemed that they must be guarding the water thieves. By the light of the fire, a wide wooden gate was embedded in the mountain wall, which was obviously the mountain prison that Chunmei was talking about.

Sure enough, Chun Mei stopped and whispered: "It's just ahead, but there are more than a dozen guards there, and if you want to open the wooden fence, you can't bypass it, what should I do?" When he turned around to inquire, he found that there were only three girls left behind him, and Ye Suiyun had disappeared. Chun Mei's heart was very different, and he was about to ask Dai Shi, when he heard someone in the mountain prison in the distance shouting: "Who are you, stand still." Chunmei's heart jumped, and she listened to the pop, bang, "Oh, mom", "The hard idea is coming!" "Tell the story! A large number of strange noises rang out, and they ran away in an instant.

It turned out that as soon as Ye Suiyun saw the place, he couldn't wait to rub his body and grab it, and without waiting for the other party's reaction, he punched and kicked him, and subdued five or six bandits in an instant. Ye Suiyun thought that the island was about to be broken, and he was not afraid of who they would report to, and now it was important to save people. The fourth girl had also run over, and Dai Shi glanced at Ye Suiyun and said, "You rushed too fast, and you didn't say hello." Ye Suiyun was happy and wanted to speak, when he suddenly heard Shu Xiaoyu's shout from the mountain prison: "Senior Sister Su, Senior Sister Xue, Senior Sister Lin, I can find you." It turned out that she had already rushed in. Ye Suiyun let out a long sigh when he heard this, and his efforts were finally not in vain.

The women trapped in the prison saw that there was a savior, and they were also in good spirits, and when they saw that it was Shu Xiaoyu, they were even more surprised, and cheered, and one of the girls shouted: "Xiaoyu, you girl is so amazing, you actually came to save us." Hearing this, Shu Xiaoyu grabbed the other party's outstretched hand and said excitedly: "Dandan, Dandan, are you okay?" It turned out to be Shu Xiaoyu's friend Lin Dandan.

Ye Suiyun grabbed a water thief who had been pointed out and asked, "If you hand over the key to the cell, you will be spared." The guard replied in a panic: "Hero, spare your life, the key to this prison is not here at all, and it is usually kept by the eldest lady." The little ones are only responsible for guarding this place. It's because the people detained here are all important people, and they don't open the door to deliver food and water on weekdays. Ye Suiyun was suspicious, but he was helpless, he had searched this person up and down just now, and he really didn't find anything. On closer inspection, the big locks on each cell number are the size of the zhang, and the lock beam is as thick as a child's arm, which is several sizes larger than the usual lock.

Shu Xiaoyu couldn't wait, drew out his blade, and slashed at the iron lock of the wooden fence with a clang, but saw that the lock was safe and sound, and it was not cut. I even tried it a few times, but I hurriedly said: "Second, what should I do?" ”

Ye Suiyun nodded, mobilized his internal force, and grabbed the iron chain with both hands, but the chain remained unchanged. couldn't help but be surprised, he thought that he didn't have seven or eight hundred catties of strength in this pull, it seems that the material of this lock is different, it is too strong. Dai Shi squatted down and looked at it carefully, and said: "This lock is made of stainless steel, and it is made so hugely, manpower is sometimes poor, no matter how high your skill is, you are not an immortal after all, it is impossible to tear it off." ”

The crowd was in a hurry, and when they saw that it was done, they were blocked by a lock. Seeing Ye Suiyun's anxious and helpless appearance, Dai Shi smiled slightly: "Niu Wazi, what are you anxious about?" I'm not done yet. It can't be destroyed, but it can be opened. Ye Suiyun didn't know why, thinking that this doesn't mean that he didn't say it, who doesn't know that it can be opened, but what can he do without a key? Looking at Dai Shi's confident demeanor, Ye Suiyun suddenly reacted, patted his head, and said happily: "Yes, I almost forgot, there is no lock in this world that you can't open." "Dai Shi inherited Wei Qiwu, a well-known female flying thief on the rivers and lakes, and the stubble skills of unlocking are not a problem. With just a cup of tea, all the prison numbers were opened, and all the female disciples hugged each other and thanked each other. Fortunately, he decided to rush to Qianzhai to support immediately.

was about to leave, but he heard a person shouting in the depths of the mountain prison: "All the heroines and walk slowly, there are still brothers who are locked up, don't forget each other, don't forget each other." Everyone was stunned, the female disciples all laughed, and Su Xiaorong, who was the leader, said: "I almost forgot him, there is still a person locked up in the innermost room, what is it called Yang Bao, stupid and stupid, very interesting." Ye Suiyun suddenly remembered, didn't Li Fu just ask himself to find this person, and almost forgot, if he hadn't shouted this voice, he would almost have missed it. Busy telling the women of Qixiu to take the first step to join Ye Zhiqing and stay to save people.

returned to the mountain prison again, and when he reached the end, he found that there were still several prison numbers on the right-hand side, and Yang Bao was in the innermost cell against the mountain wall. Ye Suiyun approached and smiled: "Brother Yang Bao, do you remember being down?" Last time, thanks to you picking up a broken shoe, otherwise my friend would be in trouble. What about the girl who quarrels with you all the time? ”

Yang Bao was stunned for a moment, and after seeing it clearly, he smiled and said, "Ah, little beggar, it's you." He frowned and said, "Why do you still smell like that, it's good that Ah Zhu is not here, otherwise you will curse again." What do you say, that time, Ah Zhu didn't believe that I picked up the shoes unintentionally, and ran away in a fit of anger, and I also said that she was just angry, so I didn't chase it much. As a result, Ah Zhu never came back, I searched everywhere, always looking for her, and then found Black Rock Bay, and was caught by the strongmen here, I told them that I was not a thief, they didn't believe me, and said that I was noisy, told me to shut up, and locked me up here. These people are fierce and domineering, which is really unreasonable. But fortunately, there are still many girls living here, although I can't see it, but it's still good to chat with them every day about literature and geography and talk about their life aspirations. Listening to Yang Bao's chattering nonsense, Ye Suiyun couldn't help but laugh, and also understood a rough idea, it turned out that this kid broke into the territory of Saltless Island in order to find Ah Xu, and was arrested by others.

Dai Shi had also unlocked the iron lock on the cell door at this time, and said with a smile: "You can really say, come out quickly." Yang Bao waved his hand again and again: "Wait, wait, leave slowly, and save my friend." Ye Suiyun sighed, looked around, there was no one else, but saw Yang Bao patting the wall, and said, "Sister, I'm here to be a friend, I'll save you." Ye Suiyun was very surprised, and thought that Yang Bao was out of mind, and was about to speak, when he faintly heard someone in the wall sighing long, it seemed to be a woman's voice, and couldn't help but be taken aback, thinking: "There are really people in this wall." I only heard the voice say slowly: "Hey, you go, I can't get out." Besides, even if you go out, you don't know where to go, but it's better to be here. ”

Ye Suiyun patted Yang Bao's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Who is she?" How can it be locked in a wall? ”

Yang Bao said: "It's Sister Li, and I don't want to say her name when I ask her, I only say that my surname is Li." Fortunately, the room I live in is close to the mountain wall, and there happens to be a gap in the wall, otherwise how would I know that there are still people locked in the wall. ”

Dai Shi took a closer look and said, "It seems that there is also a cell in the wall of this mountain prison, which is a pattern of a prison within a prison. He turned his head and asked Yang Bao, "How did you find out that there were people on the other side of the wall?" ”

Yang Bao scratched her head and said, "I saw someone bring her food. With a finger of his hand, Dai Shi looked in the direction, outside Yangbao's prison, there was a small opening against the wall, it was indeed difficult to find if you didn't look closely, and you could just send some food bowls.

Dai Shi stepped forward to take a look and said, "Although this is a passage to deliver food, the door to open the stone chamber is not here, there must be another place." Ye Suiyun and Yang Bao asked in unison, "Where is it?" Dai Shi ignored the two of them and looked around by himself.

At this time, Xi'er, Chunmei, and Shu Xiaoyu also entered the prison, thinking that they were waiting impatiently outside, Ye Suiyun saw that Shu Xiaoyu had not left yet, and asked, "Xiaoyu, why don't you go with the senior sisters?" Shu Xiaoyu blushed and said, "I'll stay and help you." Ye Suiyun nodded and said, "It's okay, we found that in addition to Yangbao, there is another person trapped in the wall, and Dai Shi is thinking of a way." The three girls realized why they hadn't been out for a long time.

Dai Shi suddenly said: "This stone prison is built on the mountain, looking at the location and its surrounding layout, it is in line with the pattern of innate gossip, I really don't know what important people are imprisoned inside, and it is so painstaking." Ye Suiyun and the others didn't know why, and asked, "What is innate gossip?" ”

Dai Shi replied: "Master once said that some mausoleums were built with certain Qimen formations to resist the people who robbed the tomb after the tomb owner's death. As for whether it really works, I don't know. But I've never heard of this method being used in a place where a living person is held. "Wei Qiwu came from a family of thieves, and his ancestors ate this bowl of rice, which can be said to have opened the locks all over the world and stolen countless tombs. The martial arts of the Wei family came from the ancient tombs, and later qualified and intelligent people changed and transformed them, and passed them on from generation to generation. In the life of these people, it is inevitable that they will encounter the tombs of the emperors and generals of the previous dynasty, and they will inevitably be happy to see the hunt and refuse to let go. Most of these mausoleums are built in accordance with the methods of Tai Chi Bagua, Tianyan Stars and other Yin and Yang techniques. It contains mysteries, layers of protection, if you don't know what is inside, it often makes tomb robbers helpless, just sighing in vain. In this way, they had to study it diligently, and gradually formed a skill, although it was not profound, but it also saw the way. It was passed from Wei Qiwu to Dai Shi, but she didn't study it carefully, this girl didn't even dare to think about it, and she went to deal with the grave in the middle of the night, so it was just a matter of hearing it from the master, and she didn't study it deeply. She thought that she was a snitch anyway, and she would never touch a scary grave, and it was useless to learn these nihilistic techniques. Unexpectedly, he encountered a problem at this time, although Dai Shi could judge a general pattern, it was difficult to explain why.

Ye Suiyun asked, "What should I do?" How can I think of a way to save people. ”

Dai Shi sighed: "I can't find the door, and I can't do anything unless you blast this mountain open with your hands." Everyone looked at each other and was speechless for a moment.

Ban Xi Chun Mei said: "The food of the people locked up here is sent by the concubine every time, but it is just put in the ground and passed, and then come to take the food utensils away, but I have never seen how to open this prison, and the guards are urging it every time, so I have never talked to the people inside, and I don't even know whether it is a man or a woman who is locked up." ”

Ye Suiyun patted his head and said to Yang Bao: "Ask, maybe Sister Li knows where the door is?" ”

Yang Bao shook his head and said: "I've asked a long time ago, she doesn't know herself, she hasn't gone out since she entered here, all the daily necessities are passed through the small hole, she often says, what's wrong here, there are too many sad things outside." What do you mean by that? It is very sad that Ah Zhu left me. It seems that what Sister Li said also has some truth. ”

Ye Suiyun didn't have time to pay attention to Yang Bao's nonsense, and he was worried, when the voice of the woman behind the wall came: "The little girl is amazing, I can see that this prison is in line with the pattern of innate gossip, and the person who imprisoned me here also said the same." The voice is clear and clear from the mountain wall, which shows that the speaker has deep internal skills.

Yang Bao was stunned for a moment, and said loudly: "Sister Li, it turns out that you spoke so clearly, and you didn't say it earlier, so I have to put my face against the wall every time I talk to you about life." ”

Sister Li said: "The master of this prison once said that people who don't know the five elements of yin and yang can't find the door of life, and it is impossible to open the stone prison, so let's go." ”

Everyone was silent, Ye Suiyun was about to speak comfortingly, but he heard a person outside the cave door say: "What's so difficult about this, in the dark gossip, Hugh Sheng injured Du Jing's death and opened the eight doors, only the life gate is desirable, in the Ming gossip, Qiandui is away from the earthquake Xun Kang Kun, corresponding to the Tianze Fire Thunder Feng Shui Mountain, this prison is by the mountain, the mountain is against the Gen, and I want the next life gate is the Gen position, well, it is the northeast." With the words, a person walked in, wearing a short green cloth robe, hanging a vermilion gourd on his waist, and a crane feather on his back to whisk the dust, with a delicate face, but the two thick eyebrows were very conspicuous, and he looked like a Taoist priest.

The fire in the cave was bright at the moment, and when Ye Suiyun saw the person who came, the other party also saw him, and said in unison: "It's you." It turned out that the two had a relationship in Yangzhou, and Ye Suiyun entrusted Xuanzi Er to find out Fang Jun's whereabouts, and then met this person, when the Taoist priest said that he was about to face a catastrophe, and he just regarded him as a swagger, and he didn't expect to meet here.

The Taoist priest said, "Little beggar, why are you here?" ”

Ye Suiyun smiled: "This is also what I want to ask you?" Do you know what this place is? ”

Before the Taoist priest could answer, Dai Shi interrupted and shouted: "Is it okay to save people first, little Taoist, you said that it is true in the northeast?" He nodded hurriedly. Dai Shi ignored it and snatched it out of the prison, and everyone followed. Ye Suiyun walked at the end and arched his hand: "Little Taoist, thank you very much this time, my name is Ye Suiyun." The other party also returned the courtesy: "Don't dare to be, it's just a matter of raising your hands." ”

Knowing the direction, everything is easy to say, Dai Shi secretly argued in his heart to find the past, came to a field next to the hill, stretched out his hand to pull away the long grass, revealing the stone wall behind, and saw that the wall was densely scattered with holes, large and small, but at a glance it was clear that it was caused by man.

Ye Suiyun said happily: "It seems that this is it." Dai Shi nodded and said, "What the little Taoist priest said is right, this prison gate is located in the northeast of the hill. After staring at it, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Although the place is right, this lock... ”

Xi'er couldn't help but ask, "Sister Dai, you said lock?" What's the lock here? ”

Dai Shi pointed to the irregular pits on the stone wall in front of him, and said: "These small holes are, but they are not the buckles we usually see, this kind of design is mostly used in large mechanism messages, called maze locks, some of the seemingly messy holes are connected at the bottom, and some are dead ends, which are very difficult to solve." After that, he turned his head to Ye Suiyun and said, "It seems that it will take some time." ”

Ye Suiyun nodded and said, "I can't abandon this eldest sister Li, I can only work hard for you." I can't help here, I don't know what the situation is ahead, so I'm going to help. Anxious in his heart, he greeted everyone, and ran to the front village with his breath.

For a moment, the sound of the blades slamming into the ears became heavier, and the sound of shouting and killing was interspersed with occasional shouts. Turning around a forest in front of him, Ye Suiyun couldn't help but stop, the flames in front of him were everywhere, and the battle situation was very tragic. At a glance, hundreds of people were fighting. There are many thieves on Saltless Island, and the disciples of Qixiu are all fighting one-on-one or one-to-many at this time, while the disciples of the beggar gang are even less, and the situation is similar to that of Qixiu, all of them are less to many. There were many people lying on the ground, most of them motionless, and it seemed that they had died. Looking at the deceased's external clothes, most of them are thieves, thinking that although they are numerous, most of them are rabble, not as strong as Qixiu and the disciples of the Beggar Gang, but the situation in the field is still dominated by the Salt Lake Village.

Ye rushed up with the clouds, his palms pushed out, and the two enemies did not say a word, and flew out with their breath closed. The Qixiu disciples who fought against them couldn't support it, and they almost couldn't dodge the slash, but they were suddenly saved, and they were frightened, and after seeing it clearly, they said happily: "Thank you Ye Gang Master." ”

Ye Suiyun nodded and said, "Go and help others." After speaking, he rushed to a beggar gang disciple not far away. With both palms applauding, the two of them fainted again. The disciple freed his hand, pulled out a stick, and cracked the rest of the thieves to the brain, and then panted with the stick, apparently tired enough.

Ye Suiyun didn't care about speaking, his feet didn't stop, he was invincible everywhere he went, and he took care of seven or eight people in an instant. A person next to him said happily: "Helper." Looking back, it was He Quangui. Ye Suiyun hurriedly said: "Brother He, how many people have we arrived?" How can the situation be so disadvantaged. He Quangui hurriedly replied: "After receiving the instructions of the helper, I and several hall masters searched around, and we could only find more than 30 people in half a day, plus a total of more than 60 brothers left behind. According to the plan, we will go from the west of the island and meet up with Qixiu Fang here. Killing all the way, losing a lot of people, fortunately, there are not many thieves in the west, but now there are still not enough people. Big Brother Sikong didn't show up either, let alone the Longwu army. ”

At this time, a person not far away rushed over, shouting as he ran: "Ye Gang Master, my senior sister has led her disciples to attack the main village. Ye Suiyun saw that it was Wang Weilin, and the senior sister in her mouth was Ye Zhiqing. Wang Weilin was covered with sweat, and rushed to the front and said: "The owner said that we have few people and can't afford to consume, so we must go straight to the other party's heart, and at this time, Senior Sister Xiao must have attacked it." ”

Ye Suiyun nodded and said, "Don't worry, reinforcements will definitely come, you hold on, I'll help." After speaking, he rushed in the direction of the main village, and when he saw that he was in danger on the road, he stepped forward to help, no one could stop him, and the enemy fell in response to the sound wherever he passed. He knew that the situation was critical, but he did not want to kill or injure anyone, so he deliberately controlled it at all times, and the people who were subdued were all broken hands and feet or fainted with breathlessness.

Although Ye Suiyun didn't kill him, others didn't think so, whether it was a disciple of Qixiu or a disciple of the Beggar Gang, with his help, as long as he fought back strongly, he would definitely take the enemy's life. Ye Suiyun saw it in his eyes, knowing that at this moment, the two sides were fighting for their lives, and it had reached the point of life and death, how could he tolerate it. I can send and receive from my heart only because my martial arts are higher than these bandits, but how can others have more time to think about it. Whenever I see someone being cut to the ground, I can't bear it. I can't help but think of Wei Qiwu once said that soft-heartedness is his biggest weakness, but he is helpless.
