Chapter 33: Wooden Box for Hostage

After the autumn of Xiangshui, the autumn leaves begin to dye red overnight, which is very intoxicating.

If Chen Cheng is now bringing his two daughters to fight horses, he will definitely sing and sing a song.

The red leaves fell, fell on his shoulders, and then slid to the ground. There was no trace of the wind blowing. When the hour came, it was time for the curtain call. A leaf falls, and the cold autumn is all in it

Chen Cheng carried the burden in one hand, put his hand on the sword with the other, and stepped on the residual leaves covering the ground and slowly moved forward.

He came in full accordance with the requirements of the Pai Jiao, and did not come to step on the spot in advance, nor did he try to hide his tracks to save people here.

The other party waited until he went out to kidnap people, which can only show that the other party is afraid of his martial arts. Since the other party is jealous of him, he will definitely not let him sneak in arrogantly. And they certainly won't bring the hostages to the place of trading.

He is just an ordinary person in his two lives, and he has no experience in dealing with such incidents, so he does not dare to take risks easily, for fear that the other party will hurt the second daughter.

Entering the dilapidated mountain temple, he was not aware of anyone's presence. The only way he can perceive is to see, smell, and hear. The means of feeling people's inner breath are really beyond the scope of his cognition, and he can't do it.

The temple is already very dilapidated, and there are almost no traces of sacrificial incense.

The ruined temple is dedicated to the king of the three mountains. Not because he knew, but because it was written.

Chen Cheng naturally didn't know that the legend said that the "God of the Three Mountains" assisted Song Taizong in his expedition to Liu Jiyuan of the Northern Han Dynasty, so he was awarded the title of King of the Three Mountains by the emperor. At one time, there were still some people worshipping among the people.

However, time has passed, and few people in the inland areas worship this god anymore. In the coastal areas, because of the huge unknowability of the sea route, they are far more fond of worshipping gods than Hunan and Hubei and other places, and they also left the habit of sacrificing to the king of the three mountains.

However, he could have guessed this situation before he came, and this kind of thing should not have been done in a temple where incense was thriving.

As he looked at the plaque thoughtfully, he suddenly felt an extremely subtle sound of breaking through the air.

Although he couldn't figure out what was happening, the sword had already struck in the direction from which the sound came. A move of "a hundred miles of green and dark" to overwhelm people. Then there's the sound of metal intersecting.

It was only then that he could see that an iron needle had just sneaked up from behind his side.

After attaining martial arts, his eyesight and ear power also improved significantly. Just to discern the sound of the breaking wind is proof.

It's just that no matter how much he understands, he can't understand the inner strength. The method of vomiting taught by the white ape can make his physical fitness stronger, after all, it is only a method of breathing, not internal force.

After shooting down the iron needle, Chen Cheng raised the package in his hand and said loudly: "Since you are here, why hide your head and show your tail?" ”

You don't have to think about it to know that this iron needle is the drug needle they used to sneak attack Ma Chunhua and Qu Feiyan before. I think the other party wants to directly numb him and then take things later, or directly control him and slowly ask him later.

A man dressed as a Miao man slowly turned out of the door and said, "Sure enough, as the legend goes, the martial arts are strong." ”

Chen Cheng shook the burden in his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, what about people?" ”

The dark-faced man in his forties was expressionless: "I'll look at things first." ”

Chen Cheng frowned, but didn't say anything. He carefully placed the burden on the shrine and opened it with one hand. Inside was a four-inch square wooden box.

This wooden box is certainly not what everyone is looking for. He had no idea what these people were going to get out of him, but luckily most of them didn't know what they were looking for. So he can only fool around.

The wooden box was found by Shi Jinniu. This Lei Gongzui's martial arts and IQ are not very good, but the work is quite assured, and the size of this box is very close to the legend, and it should be difficult to find the problem without measuring it with tools.

A trace of anger flashed on the black-faced man's face: "You can't bluff me, that box can't be opened, how can it be a wooden box?" ”

Of course, Chen Cheng knew that it was a box that could not be opened. But he didn't have time to make a box of strange materials, and it was already luck to find one of this size.

However, he knew from the other party's words that the other party didn't know what the box looked like, so he could try to fool the past.

So he sneered: "The wooden box can be opened?" Don't you platoon Xiangxi people have any knowledge? ”

The black-faced man didn't get more angry when he heard this, but was a little more solemn: "You can't split it with a sword?" ”

Chen Cheng asked rhetorically: "Do you know what's inside?" ”

The black-faced man hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't know, I don't want to know, I just want to take this thing to the errand." ”

Chen Cheng sneered again: "Do you know that the mechanism in this box, if it is not opened normally with a key, the contents will be destroyed immediately." ”

The black-faced man pondered for a moment and stretched out his right hand: "Okay, give me the things, and I'll take them and hand them over." As long as the things are correct, I will release them immediately. Those of us who believe in God are the most faithful. ”

Chen Cheng wrapped the wooden box again and said, "It's too early to talk about faith or not." But you don't follow the rules. ”

"Rules?"

"I'm going to see people first."

The black-faced man clapped his hands, and the two female Miao people walked up with Ma Chunhua on the left and the right.

Chen Cheng saw Ma Chunhua's heart was in turmoil, but he still covered it up well.

He looked at Ma Chunhua carefully, his mouth was gagged with strips of cloth, and his whole body was tied. At the moment, he was staring at him with wide eyes, and there was some joy in his eyes, but not too panicked. I don't think I suffered too much.

In this way, his impression of Pai Jiao is a little better. And only a little bit.

He looked outside the temple gate again and said quietly, "What about the other small one?" ”

The black-faced man also sneered like him: "Don't you keep talking about the rules?" If I bring them all, what if you turn your face and rob them? ”

Chen Cheng bowed his head and pointed at Ma Chunhua: "Take out the cloth she gags and ask her." I have to know what happened to the other person. ”

Ma Chunhua's cloth was taken off, and as soon as she regained her freedom to speak, she said loudly: "It's okay if it's not smoked." She's tied up too, and we're ......" As soon as she said that, the cloth was stuffed back in.

The black-faced man raised his eyebrows at Chen Cheng: "Take the things, I'll give you the big one first, then you wait here, and I'll give you the small one." ”

Chen Cheng shook his head: "I can't trust you." ”

The black-faced man's face was not very good-looking, and he repeated again: "We believe in God and speak the most informationally. ”

Chen Cheng sneered: "Believe in God? Did your god teach you to kidnap tickets? ”

The black-faced man was stunned.

Chen Cheng continued: "Since you can forget your god when you kidnap people. How can you be sure that you will not forget God when you give people to others? ”

The black-faced man waved his hand indignantly: "We are not like you who do not believe in God, we will do what we say!" ”

Chen Cheng hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and knocked on the divine case vigorously and said, "I hope you really do what you say." I'll put it here, and you can send someone to get it. With that, he stepped aside.

The black-faced man didn't move his steps, but said, "Can't you throw it over?" ”

Chen Cheng immediately became furious: "Throw it over? Do you know what's inside? Do you know the mechanism inside? Are you crazy or am I crazy? ”

To make a play, you have to do a full set, and he still remembers the setting he arranged for the wooden box? If the other party is not as coaxing as Shi Jinniu, this sentence must be testing him.

Sure enough, the black-faced man's face relaxed a lot when he heard this, and it was obvious that Chen Cheng's attitude made him very satisfied. He watched Chen Cheng slowly retreat, then stepped forward, first took the burden in his hand, and then looked at Chen Cheng vigilantly, and then slowly unwrapped it.

It was at this time that Chen Cheng made a move.

That wooden box is just a long-distance bluff, and when you look at it closely, it's a fake thing, and it's impossible to continue to hide it. The reason why he is willing to talk nonsense with the other party all the time is only because he wants to set up more information and make the other party let down his guard.

Now it can be basically judged that Qu Feiyan's place of detention should not be nearby. And there is no one around to watch, otherwise the other party will definitely use it to warn him.

The other party deliberately used a woman to escort Ma Chunhua, which was to release a message that they did not insult this woman. It's also a sign that they're desperate to close the deal and not inclined to kill.

Since that's the case, then he will put down these people first.

The two female disciples of the Pai Sect who held Ma Chunhua hostage were also paying attention to the burden in the hands of the black-faced man at this time, and they never expected Chen Cheng to burst out at this time. I didn't expect him to shoot quickly, which was completely beyond their imagination.

With just two swords, they were stabbed in the shoulder, and then knocked out by the hilt.

When the black-faced man saw Chen Cheng robbing people, he knew in his heart that it was not good, and when a few hidden weapons came, he was about to flee with his baggage.

If this is the first time he has used a secret weapon to sneak attack, Chen Cheng may still be hit. It's only to blame him for being too greedy before, wanting to yin Chen Cheng once, and exposing his hole cards prematurely. Chen Chengke has been guarding against his hidden weapon. At the moment, all ten moves will be destroyed.

The black-faced man saw a flash of coldness. The next moment, the tip of the sword was already against his throat.

He was also single, put the burden on the case, and said coldly: "Since you want to break the rules, then you don't want to see your daughter." ”
