"I can't help but have a lot of dreams at night, and tonight will pass. I've got the floating light a little better. ”

For fear of alarming people, only Shen Mingjiao and the two people with the best martial arts skills went over.

Yun Shu pretended to be her and wandered around the building. Because Yun Shu is most similar to her figure.

Fortunately, the village is wooded, and there are not many people walking around at night, so it is good to hide your body.

As it turned out, she said this too soon.

Fuguang took her shoulders and borrowed strength among the shadows of the trees, and about half an hour later, the two came to the Xizhai range.

Shen Mingjiao stood on a tree, looking at the black pressure below, and only through the faint moonlight, she could barely see the layout of the house.

Fuguang said in an angry voice in her ear, "There are about twenty guards below, in the east and west directions, but the guards are lazy, and most of them are asleep. ”

Shen Mingjiao breathed a sigh of relief. I came here tonight just to test the water, and I didn't plan to do it all at once. It's not impossible to hypnotize people here. It's just a lot more difficult. However, she also had a powerful sweat medicine given by the witch doctor.

She was led down the branch by the floating light to the opposite eaves. As soon as he stood still, his floating body froze,

Shen Mingjiao seemed to hear a strange "hissing" sound in her ears, and something cold and slippery behind her approached.

For a moment, a chill ran down her spine, her blank mind was only one thought, no wonder the guards were so lax. It turns out that it wasn't the guards at all.

She made a "run" lip shape at the floating light.

Just as the two of them were about to turn around and leave, a black shadow seemed to pass by in the distance, and then there was a heavy footstep in their ears, mixed with the irritable roar of a giant beast.

It was the elephant that the daytime saw.

And the snakes around the roof, when they heard this roar, were so frightened that they scattered in all directions.

The sleeping guard was awakened by this movement, and when he saw the elephant, he didn't show much surprise, but frowned impatiently, and continued to close his eyes to meet Zhou Gong.

The elephant walked slowly to a meadow, and after a full meal, he left satisfied. Only then did Shen Mingjiao notice that except for some stilted buildings, it was actually very desolate.

It is estimated that this is why the elephant often comes to graze, so that the guards on guard are not surprised to see it.

But thinking of the black shadow that flashed just now, I felt that this was too much of a coincidence, and this elephant happened to appear when they were in danger......

Just as they couldn't find their way before, the dark shadow appeared and showed them the way.

It wasn't until they waited a little longer, and after all the guards had fallen asleep, that the two of them came through a weedy forest.

Shen Mingjiao took out the powerful sweat medicine given by the witch doctor and sprinkled it around those people. Glancing at the rows of connected stilted buildings, I thought about starting with the most guarded one.

The two of them cautiously ascended the wooden stairs, and the ground floor of a stilted building like this could not be inhabited.

Shen Mingjiao took out two luminous beads from her arms, and at this time, she pulled them out of the palace treasury before leaving, but she didn't expect it to come in handy.

The wooden door was locked from the outside, but it was hard to get a glimpse. Shen Mingjiao plucked a thin hairpin from her head and handed it to her.

After a while, with a soft click, the wooden door opened.

Shen Mingjiao heard a shallow breathing sound, indicating that there were people in the house.

When she got closer, with the faint light of the luminous beads, Shen Mingjiao saw that there seemed to be a person lying on the bed.

The person in the bed was obviously not sleeping well, and sat up violently when he heard the movement.

"Xiuxiu, it's really you!"

Xiuxiu blinked in a daze, thinking that she was dreaming, and muttered in a weak voice:

"Madam, why did you come here, were you also arrested by them?"

Shen Mingjiao stepped forward to support her, touched her skinny body, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Why are you so thin?" ”

It has been less than ten days since she disappeared, and in such a short period of time, even if you don't eat or drink, you shouldn't lose so much weight.

Fuguang found the teapot and poured a glass of water and held it to her lips.

It wasn't until the cold water entered her throat that Xiuxiu believed that it was really not a dream. "Ma'am, are you here to save me?"

She took a sip of water and said in a low voice: "That day, I went to the back mountain to pick fruits, and I was knocked unconscious by someone covering my mouth from behind.

When I woke up, I was here, and I wanted to escape. But every day, someone watched me, and the day before yesterday someone came over and put two big bowls of blood on me.

After that, they forced me to eat all kinds of tonic soups. At this she cried out in fear:

"They must have treated me like an animal and wanted to kill me when I was fattened. But when I didn't eat it, someone grabbed my neck and forced it down.

It's horrible and I want to go home......"

Shen Mingjiao patted her skinny back soothingly: "Okay, I promise you, I will definitely send you home safely."

Not right now, though, I still have some things to figure out. ”

Xiuxiu blinked blankly: "Really! ”

Shen Mingjiao nodded heavily: "Well, I'll take you away when we're done with things." ”

After making sure that she was rescued, Xiuxiu finally had some energy and the heart to comfort Shen Mingjiao and the others.

"You don't have to worry, I heard from my caregiver that no one will come to take my blood during this time, and Madame will eat well while she is busy with your business."

Shen Mingjiao asked, "What else did you hear?" ”

At the mention of this, Xiuxiu shrank her shoulders in fear: "What kind of place is this?"

I listened to the small talk of the guards outside, they arrested many people, and those who were arrested...... They...... In the end, they were all bled to death. ”

She pointed to the stilted building, "I saw during the day, there are dried blood marks in the corners of the walls...... I don't know how many dead people have lived...... "The more she talked, the more scared she became......

……

After leaving this stilted building, Shen Mingjiao was pondering what Xiuxiu had just said all the way,

Why did Qing Yao marry Xiuxiu's blood? Or, why does it have to be Xiuxiu?

Fuguang asked in a low voice, "Where are we going next?" ”

The main reason they came here tonight was to find the Aquatic people who were locked up here.

Shen Mingjiao looked around: "But there is definitely no here, let's go and take a look at the back." ”

Xizhai is really big, but it is also very desolate. The floating light carried Shen Mingjiao to the roof, and when he looked around, it was still dark. The two had to find it little by little.

At this time, a wild cat passed in front of her, Shen Mingjiao thought of something, took out the dried meat from her purse and sprinkled it on the ground.

The wild cat smelled the smell and hesitated for a while, feeling that the two of them really didn't seem to have malicious intent, and hesitantly jumped over, and ate the jerky in a few clicks.

Shen Mingjiao asked, "Which room is locked up here?" ”

The wildcat raised its head at the sound and meowed for no apparent reason.

Shen Mingjiao stared at the wild cat's green eyes until the other party's ears slowly drooped.

Fortunately, this wild cat is not like those snakes, just ordinary cats, very hypnotic.

Shen Mingjiao asked softly, word by word: "Tell me, which room is closed to people?" ”

The wild cat was dazed for a moment, and Shen Mingjiao changed several questions.

The wildcat seemed to finally understand, meowed at the two of them, and jumped to the side of a hill to the north. Shen Mingjiao motioned for Fuguang to follow.

Fuguang Yunqi followed behind the wild cat, and his tone was obviously surprised: "How does Sister Gillian know that it can understand you?" ”

There was a sound of wind passing by quickly, Shen Mingjiao covered her ears and explained:

"In fact, many small animals can understand human speech, but they can't express it, and people who are not close to them don't understand what they mean.

Although I can't really communicate with animals, hypnosis can amplify the consciousness in the human or animal brain, and wild cats are very sensitive animals, but I also tried my luck, and I didn't expect it to really understand. ”

The two followed the wildcat around the hill to a ruined stilted building in the far north.

The wildcat meowed at the wooden door in front of him. Shen Mingjiao threw all the remaining jerky on her body to it.

"Thanks! This is the belt fare. ”

At this time, the two of them seemed to hear the sound of chains colliding, Shen Mingjiao listened carefully, and then pointed to a room on the far side: "Over there." ”

Fuguang opened the door and said to Shen Mingjiao: "I'll go in first and take a look, I don't know what's inside." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Shen Mingjiao to refuse, she took the lead and walked in.

The sound of chains clashing in the room was even more pronounced, mixed with a few low wails, as if someone had choked their throats. Like the roar of some beast, in the silence of the night, it was almost like a man's hair standing on end.

Shen Mingjiao instantly remembered the gloomy ghosts in those strange words. Xu was mentally prepared in advance, she was not too scared at this time, and she was faintly looking forward to it.

But she seems to have always been this character. I wasn't scared when I encountered a corpse or something, but I realized it afterwards.

When she thought about this, she had already walked in with her heels, no matter how high the floating martial arts were, Shen Mingjiao couldn't let her little girl stand in front of her with peace of mind.

The two of them came into the house on their front and back feet. When I went in, I saw that this stilted building was connected, and there seemed to be many people locked up in the house, and there was a smell of decay and mold, which made people want to be disgusted.

Shen Mingjiao fumbled for the oil lamp and lit it directly with a fire fold, just now she noticed. The windows of the house here are all boarded with wooden boards, and only some holes are left at the top for ventilation, so the light from the oil lamp cannot penetrate at all.

After Shen Mingjiao saw the scene in the house in the faint light, although she had been mentally prepared, she was still shocked and took a step back.

There were more than a dozen people tied up in the filthy room, all of them chained to their limbs, some to posts like dogs, some to shelves, and all of them were emaciated.

Because she has not seen the sun for a long time, her hair and eyebrows have become snow-white, and she has become thin like this, and at first glance at night, Shen Mingjiao admires her psychological quality.

However, this was not over, Shen Mingjiao turned her head, and in the exclamation of floating light, she was facing a pair of empty skull eyes.

Behind her, on the torture rack, hung a skeleton of bones, which should have been a man, and the shoulder blades on both sides were pierced by iron chains.

Shen Mingjiao tried her best to cover her mouth before she could restrain herself from screaming on the spot.

At this time, the sound of chains colliding again sounded in her ears, and Shen Mingjiao was so frightened that she bounced up:

"Ahh Don't come here...... We have no ill intentions! ”

"Huh...... You guys...... What a person! A heavy, hoarse old voice sounded,

Shen Mingjiao breathed a sigh of relief, although this voice sounded terrifying, but it was a living person!

How can a living person be more terrible than a ghost!

She turned her head in search of sound, only to see that it was an old man with a furrow face, the other party looked like he was over a hundred years old, and it was really fateful to survive in such an environment at such an age!

She stepped forward and asked politely, "Grandpa, can I ask you something?" ”

After seeing her face, the old man's face changed suddenly:

"You...... You are the Great Wizard! You've finally been reborn, and our people are hopeful......"
