CHAPTER XLIV

A burst of noise woke up Qi Liyun, although her head still had a terrible headache, her natural sense of vigilance made her sober up as soon as she was able to open her eyes.

Qi Liyun found that it was already dark, and he seemed to be in the courtyard of an abandoned temple, where four fires had been lit, and about 20 middle-aged men were drinking in large bowls around these fires. They made the noise just now.

Qi Liyun just wanted to get up, but found that he was tied to a wooden stake.

This kind of wooden stake is generally used by warrior monks to practice, and ordinary temples actually do not support warrior monks, which shows that this temple once had strong incense. As for why it has been abandoned into a bandit's den now, Qi Liyun does not know.

"Are you awake?"

Just when Qi Liyun was still observing the surrounding situation, a slightly obscene greeting came from his ears. She turned her head to look, and sure enough, Lin Anyan was also tied to a wooden stake and looked at her with a wicked smile.

And Situ Xiao was tied to the farthest place, hanging his head as if he hadn't woken up yet.

"Where is this, why did you wake up so fast?"

"I don't know where this is, I came all the way with my head covered. As for why I woke up earlier than you, because I didn't faint at all. ”

"Didn't faint?"

Hearing this, Qi Liyun instantly became suspicious, and stared at Lin Anyan with a vigilant expression.

Lin Anyan saw Qi Liyun's small expression, and said with a helpless wry smile: "Don't look at me like that, if I were with them, I would still be tied up here? ”

"I didn't faint because I only drank a few sips of that tea, I'm afraid the measurement is not enough. ”

Qi Liyun endured her headache and forcibly recalled, she only remembered that Lin Anyan had the happiest conversation with the man who called himself Ma Houchen, and the water was also drunk bowl after bowl, and she didn't pay attention to when she spit it out.

"Don't think about it, the master is known as Lin Bu Drunk, in addition to the amount of alcohol, there is always some technical content in it. ”

"Then why were you kidnapped when you didn't faint, and you didn't dare to fight back against these twenty or so bandits?"

Hearing this question, Lin Anyan shook his head a little helplessly, and said symbolically after a few struggles: "Don't you feel strange? ”

After Lin Anyan finished saying this, Qi Liyun realized that all the qi in his body had dispersed, and he couldn't gather into an internal force when he traveled around his body.

This was exactly the same feeling as after being impacted by the Soul Suppression Stone at that time, Qi Liyun never expected that the internal force that had been recovered with great difficulty would be lost again.

Qi Liyun looked at Lin Anyan with some annoyance and asked, "What's going on?"

Lin Anyan shook his head, but Situ Xiao on the side came to his senses and said, "I'm afraid that the water is full of qi cartilage." I've only seen this medicine in books, but I didn't expect that there would be people in the world who would refine it. It is said that no matter how strong the internal strength is, if a person takes this medicine, he will also lose his internal strength in a short period of time, and he will be like a wasted person. ”

Hearing Situ Xiao say this, the three of them are all wasted people with no internal strength, and they are tied up in the bandits' den in this barren mountain and wilderness, wouldn't it be impossible to escape death.

Thinking that the reason why he fell to this step was caused by Lin Anyan's cleverness, Qi Liyun couldn't help but be angry, and snorted coldly and stopped looking at him.

Lin Anyan looked at Qi Liyun's reaction, and said with an innocent expression: "Qi Nuxia, don't know what to do, if it weren't for me, you would have been arrested by them a long time ago." ”

Qi Liyun sneered and said, "What can you do?" I'm afraid that when they don't take me away, you still have to scream twice." ”

Lin Anyan was wronged for no reason, and said a little annoyed: "Master, I gave all my net worth to protect your body, after all, the money is enough for them to get drunk and dream of dying for ten years in the best Qinglou in Youzhou City." ”

Hearing that Lin Anyan gave all the money out in order to protect herself, Qi Liyun couldn't help but feel a little grateful, but she still asked coldly: "Then what should I do now? The money is gone, the internal strength is gone, and we are tied up here and waiting for death?"

Lin Anyan suddenly smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Someone will come to save us." ”

"Who?"

"Dong Fengming. ”

Qi Liyun was very puzzled when he heard this unexpected name.

"You're out of your brain, why did that brute come to save us?"

Lin Anyan took a deep breath, as if he was trying to endure Qi Liyun's mindlessness, and then said softly: "Raiding the house and robbing the house is nothing more than trying to make money, the money is given to them, why do you want to tie us up here?"

Qi Liyun said disdainfully: "Maybe it's because you gave too much money that they treat you as a big wrongdoer and a cash cow." Be prepared to ask your family for money. ”

Lin Anyan was a little helpless, so he had to respond: "First, I casually gave them more than 100,000 taels, can they imagine how big the family power behind me is?

"Second, even if these outlaws are so bold that they never ask me where my house is, who asks for money, then what are they waiting for?

"In addition, Situ Junshi just said, the medicine they gave us is very rare, I'm afraid it's worth a lot, a group of thieves who live in the broken mountain temple, where did they get the money to buy such expensive medicine? Think about it again, when we met Ma Houchen, his outfit and the small courtyard were obviously planned, I'm afraid I already knew that a few of us were strong in martial arts, and we couldn't be strong head-on. ”

Qi Liyun finally understood what Lin Anyan meant at this moment, and said in disbelief: "So you mean, this is a kidnapping operation that has been planned for a long time and has the support of big people behind it?"

Lin Anyan couldn't help but nod happily when she saw that this woman had finally opened her mind, "That's right, combined with our itinerary in recent days, the person behind them must be Dong Fengming." ”

Speaking of which, Qi Liyun finally fully understood the ins and outs of everything, but she was still puzzled, why did Lin Anyan say that Dong Fengming would come to save the three of them?

I only heard Lin Anyan explain: "Have you ever thought about why this group of bandits didn't kill us? We provoked him in Youzhou City, and he was afraid of the identity of Song Zhongxuan that I borrowed, so he had to kidnap us here for the time being, and then go to Song's house in Jingbei City to inquire. ”

"If the result is that Song Zhongxuan did go to Youzhou City, then he will come back to save us, which can be regarded as a favor to the Song family; Kill two birds with one stone, this kid is not a waste who only relies on his father. ”

Situ Xiao, who had been sitting on the side without saying a word, suddenly shook his head and said, "It's too risky, no." ”

Lin Anyan and Qi Liyun looked at him puzzled, only to hear Situ Xiao explain: "And it's not the Song family, as your Lin family's sworn enemy, will it really help you at this time." Even if they are willing to help, it will take at least a month to travel back and forth to Jingbei City, and in such a long time, it is inevitable that things will change later, we have no internal strength now, and any evil intentions of these bandits will threaten our lives. ”

"Don't gamble your life with outsiders. ”

Lin Anyan knew that Situ Xiao's words made sense, but he was still a little unconvinced and said: "Then what is the good suggestion of Situ Dajunshi? We are tied up here and have no internal strength, how do you say to run." ”

Situ Xiao looked at Lin Anyan with a strange look in his eyes and said, "I have a plan, but it depends on whether Lin Gongzi is willing or not." ”

Lin Anyan didn't understand what he meant, so he only heard Situ Xiao explain:

"Our Tieqimen's mental method pays attention to the power born from the heart, and it is to use internal force to feed external force, you yourself have the blessing of unknown internal force, maybe you can rely on Tieqimen's mental method to regather internal force, so that you can fight your way out of the encirclement. ”

Lin Anyan asked puzzledly, "In that case, why don't you come by yourself?"

Situ Xiao shook his head a little helplessly and said: "Our internal force itself comes from the Tieqimen Mental Method, how can it be restored by the Mental Law if it is broken, only you can rely on the Mental Law to draw out your own internal force." How about Master Lin, would you like to give it a try?"

First of all, what Situ Xiao said is not unreasonable, it is indeed quite dangerous to stay here.

Secondly, Lin Anyan has seen the wonders of the Tieqimen Mental Method, and if he can take this opportunity to learn one or two, it will be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

After Lin Anyan lowered his head and thought for a while, he nodded decisively and signaled that it was okay.

Originally, Qi Liyun wanted to refute something, but Situ Xiao didn't give her a chance at all. I only heard Situ Xiao suddenly whisper an order: "Lin Anyan! Close your eyes, your anger will sink into the dantian!"

"The nine qi are one, and they belong to my body; ”

Situ Xiao said for half an hour in one breath, and finally finished the basic mantra of the entire Tieqi Gate's internal force.

After a while, Lin Anyan heard that there was no movement, and finally slowly opened his eyes.

"How do you feel?

Hearing Qi Liyun's concern, Lin Anyan glanced at her with a strange expression, as if he was a little embarrassed.

"That... Where's the dantian?"

All night, the three of them didn't sleep. Situ Xiao and Qi Liyun sang red face and white face, and it took Lin Anyan one night to popularize the most basic common sense of the human body and basic common sense of internal force.

Finally, until the sky was bright, Lin Anyan tried to practice the mantra of Tieqimen again.

This time, Situ Xiao no longer taught Qi Liyun and them in one breath as he did in the past. Rather, it is taught sentence by sentence, with explanation.

The horse monkey slept until noon, and while he was still savoring the body fragrance of the beprising woman in his dream, he was awakened by a noise.

"Come on, no, those three people have run away! Those three people have run away!"

The horse monkey who heard the news instantly sobered up, and ran out without even putting on his clothes.

I saw that only his own men were left in the courtyard. The ropes that were originally used to tie the three people were scattered all over the ground, and the three meat tickets were long gone.

"Who stalked last night?"

"Boss, it's Huzi and his younger brother. ”

"Huzi, what about people?"

Hearing Ma Monkey's question, the young man named Huzi grabbed his younger brother and knelt down, his voice trembling.

"Boss, I heard some movement in the morning, and just as I tried to check it, I was knocked unconscious. ”

After that, Huzi took out a wooden stick from behind him that was still bloody, obviously the firewood that was not used up last night.

The horse monkey took the firewood stick, looked at it again and again, and then struck the tiger on the head with a stick.

"Everyone, go to Lao Tzu to find it, they were given the medicine given by Dong Gongzi, and they can't run far. ”

"It doesn't matter if you can't find anyone, when Dong Fengming asks, everyone will die together. ”

Hearing the name of Dong Fengming, the king of Hades, all the thieves were afraid on their faces.

After everyone left, the horse monkey came to the three wooden stakes alone and looked down.

The three strands of rope, on both sides of which were untied, except for the middle one, were torn apart by brute force.

"Damn, Dong Fengming's medicine is so awesome, why did he get too hard overnight?"
