Chapter 7: The Dungeon
Black Tiger Village Zhongyi Hall
The big boss Chen Kang and the second master Chen Qing sat on the two Taishi chairs on the main seat, watching the crowd in the lower seats carnival.
"Brothers, we are a rough person, and we can't speak polite words, you have followed us for so many years, and we see it in our hearts. Today, we have finally broken through the high level of foundation building and entered the great consummation of foundation building, and in the future, as long as the brothers follow us, we will ensure that everyone eats and drinks spicy. โ
"Good!"
There was another cheer below, and I felt confused.
"Brother, you drink less, it's not good to get drunk."
Chen Qing frowned and reminded, I don't know why his right eyelid always jumps today, and he has a bad premonition.
"Hey, what are you afraid of? Now that we have built the foundation of the Great Perfection, we will be able to break through the Jindan soon. Be happy today, don't spoil the interest of the big guys. โ
"You, that's it..."
Seeing that Chen Qing couldn't persuade Chen Kang, he could only let him go, and thought: Fortunately, there are few monks in this vicinity, and with the formation in front of the stockade, there shouldn't be any big mess.
Chen Kang and Chen Qing are two brothers who lived in this nearby village in the early years. Chen Kang helped people work in the town, and Chen Qing planned to gain fame while studying, and helped people copy books to subsidize their families. Although the income of the two is not much, they can barely make ends meet. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, after changing the foreman, in order to get money to please the third son-in-law of his second cousin, who was an official in the county, he often deducted the wages of the workers.
Just when the two of them were desperate and came to the mountain to find some materials that could be exchanged for money, they accidentally discovered this feng shui treasure, not only obtained the cultivation exercise, but also mastered this formation, although they are not very clear about its operating mechanism, but it is very suitable to be used as a base. Over the years, the government has failed to encircle and suppress many times, all thanks to this formation. Moreover, Chen Kang is very compatible with that set of exercises, and he has used it to cultivate to the great consummation of foundation building in just ten years.
And those who bullied them at the beginning, Chen Kang killed them all as soon as he entered the Great Perfection of Qi Training, and he didn't even let go of a single dog in the family.
After tasting the benefits of power, Chen Kang's ambition grew, and he was no longer satisfied with the small town he had been. With the help of force, he merged all the surrounding cottages, moved them all to the hill where the formation was located, and established a new cottage, which was named "Black Tiger Village". engaged in the business of robbing homes and houses, and gradually developed into an underworld force in the troubled township.
The small forest in the mountain behind the Black Tiger Village
Ji Hanying spread out his divine sense, very good, most of the people here are ordinary people. The place where she is now should be the place they used to store the looted things, and I don't know where the big boss and the second boss are in their mouths.
Hey, it's strange, why are there still traces of ordinary people in the underground here.
Ji Hanying cautiously explored with her divine sense, and she looked at it, this sense should be here. Ji Hanying bent down and gently tapped the floor, learning the method she had learned on TV before to listen to whether there was a hollow sound.
"Bang bang... Bang bang..."
"Bang bang... Bang bang..."
"Knock... Knock knock..."
Even the tapping was a muffled bang, but when it hit one of the pieces, it was a soft thump.
Here it is.
Ji Hanying carefully used a dagger to pry open the edge of the floor tiles, and below was a tunnel that looked like a cellar used for storage in the countryside. Using a fire fold to light a torch hanging on the wall, Ji Hanying held the torch and walked down slowly.
"Woo woo woo ......"
"Woo, I want to go home..."
"Help, help!"
"Don't shout, no one will come here, I've been locked up for almost three years, and I haven't seen anyone coming."
... ... ... ...
Before Ji Hanying could go down, she heard all kinds of voices calling for help one after another, all kinds of voices from men, women and children, and the only thing in common was that they were all weak, as if they hadn't eaten for a long time.
As soon as she saw the other lights, Ji Hanying found that these people, at least fifty or sixty, were all locked in cagesโthe kind of cages used to hold large animals. The people inside were all yellow-skinned and thin-skinned, and they were dressed in tatters, and the homeless people were probably better dressed than them. There was something on the ground that should be their food - mainly something that looked like steamed buns was black and hard, mixed with the hay on the ground, something that looked like porridge, not much better than clear water, and a layer of dirt floating on it.
"What people!"
As soon as Ji Hanying walked down, a cold cry sounded. The owner of the voice was a young man who did not look very old, and I saw that he was wearing a faded navy blue thick linen short, with a gray cloth belt tied around his waist, and a raw edge on the edge, which looked like he had been used for a long time, and he had long hair like flowing water, but he looked a little messy if he had not been taken care of for a long time. Under the eyebrows are bright eyes and bright teeth, but there is a look of vigilance in the eyes, and the last sentence that should be called "a young man in fresh clothes" has fallen to this, and he is sighing.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't mean it. I followed my family to Tanqiao Town to visit relatives, but I was captured by those mountain bandits, I tried my best to escape, and finally escaped, but I ran to their warehouse in a panic, I didn't want them to catch me, and when I was dodging, I found that there was a cellar here, so I came in. โ
"You said you came to visit relatives, so who is your family."
"The proprietress of Tai'an Hotel, she is the little niece of my mother's eldest cousin, and our family went to her to find a way out."
"No, why don't I remember that the Xu girl who opened the hotel didn't have a relative like you."
Just as the young man was about to let his guard down, an old man in the back suddenly spoke, his tone full of doubts.
Oh no, looking at the young man's more vigilant look than before, Ji Hanying's heart chuckled.
"Oh, uncle, you are really a noble person who forgets things, I, Xiaoyingzi, you don't remember, the old Ji family, the Ji family in the town next door. You hugged me when I was a kid. As for me, the one in the red dress, the one who pulled the two of you to the sky, didn't you live there at the time, right there, ah, think about it again, do you have any impression. Just red clothes, two pigtails, and gave me candy. โ
"Eh, when you say that, I really want to be impressed."
"yes."
"Ouch, create evil, how can those people who kill a thousand knives not even let go of a little girl like you."
"It's just, woo woo, I'm scared."
The two chatted as if no one was there, and Ji Hanying was very much in line with his victim's personality, and forcibly squeezed out a few tears.
"Everyone is fine, this is the young girl of the old Ji family in the town next door, I didn't think about it just now, this woman has changed eighteen."
Seeing that the two did "know", and seeing that Ji Hanying was a little girl, the young man signaled that Ji Hanying could come over, and smiled apologetically at her.
