18 Breaking the Tower of Ink

Besides, the Mo family imprisoned the "Little Dragon King" Zhao Xiaoling here, naturally they have their reasons, Yan Sidao and Ning Cui wanted to take Zhao Xiaoling away, but they were afraid that they didn't have any good intentions. Xie Yixiang didn't want to help the abuse, but now that she was trapped here, and the secret passage when she came was sealed by the "Broken Dragon Stone", if she wanted to leave here, she could only cooperate with Ning Cui and wait for the people of the Mo family to come and open the secret door on the rock wall.

At that moment, she discussed the details with Ning Cui, and carefully inquired about the situation in this "ink tower". It is said that the Mo family has always respected the "giant", which is also commonly known as the head, and in this generation, the giant is the famous master Mo Hanshan on the "Jianghu Celebrity List". Under the giant, the Mo family also has four protectors of "remnants of mountains and waters", which are "remnants of the sky", "cold mountains", "remnants of the sea", and "white water", and the protector of this "cold mountain" is also the Mo Hanshan who is now the giant. In addition to the ink remnants that have long been killed in Poyang Lake, in addition to the Mo Han Mountain, the Mo family giant, there are at least two protectors, "Leftover Sea" and "White Water", which are stationed in this ink tower.

Xie Yixiang calculated in his heart that he had seen the ability of the ink remnant in Poyang Lake, although he was not as good as the old man Qingzhu, Dai Qi and others, but he was also a first-class master in the world, if the two protectors of "Leftover Sea" and "White Water" were equal in strength to the ink remnant sky, he might not be able to win by joining forces with Ning Cui. What's more, there is also the giant Mo Hanshan and the Mo family disciples under his command, as well as the unpredictable mechanism information technique here, so there is no possibility of breaking out. Ning Cui disagreed, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den and get the tiger, if you want to rescue the 'Little Dragon King' from the Mo family, you have to take a risk." Now that the retreat is broken, if you want to get out of here, you can only break through. ”

Xie Yixiang saw that she had made up her mind, so she didn't say anything more, and said in her heart: "Although the Mo family is not a famous and decent family in the rivers and lakes, it is not an evil demon, and I have been deceived by Ning Cui this time, and I have no interest in any 'Little Dragon King'." Now that I am going out with her, if I bump into the Mo family protector or Mo Hanshan himself, I only need to explain the whole thing clearly, and I will not be embarrassed if I want to come to the Mo family. As for how they deal with Ning Cui, that's none of my business. ”

Then Xie Yixiang and Ning Cui have been waiting in front of the stone gate on the rock wall, and Zhao Xiaoling has lived in this cave for more than ten years after all, although Ning Cui has been moved to leave with her, he is still a little reluctant, just silently packed up his things. Xie Yixiang was really bored waiting, so she asked Zhao Xiaoling about his life. Zhao Xiaoling was not familiar with his mind, and he stammered when he spoke, but Xie Yixiang was patient, and he still understood a rough idea in the end.

It turned out that in Zhao Xiaoling's memory, he was originally a cattle herding boy in the countryside, but he was kidnapped when he was very young, and then he had a life of fine clothes and food; It wasn't until later that many people wanted to kill him, and the people around him took him away by boat, but the boat was on the river and sank for no reason. Fortunately, an uncle rescued him from the water and brought him all the way here, allowing him to live in this cave for more than ten years.

Xie Yixiang couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she had heard rumors a long time ago that Xiangjun's "Little Dragon King" was actually not the biological son of the "Nine Dragon King", but an adopted son, so it seems that this rumor is true. As the saying goes, "I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world", this Zhao Xiaoling was originally just an ordinary shepherd boy, but by chance he became the "Little Dragon King", and he was involved in the world's disputes in a daze, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. As for the "uncle" he mentioned many times, he is naturally a member of the Mo family, and it is even very likely that it is Mo Hanshan, the giant of the Mo family.

Then Xie Yixiang and Ning Cui continued to wait for the rabbit, and in the evening of the second day, they finally heard a dull sound from the secret door on the rock wall, and the entire stone door embedded in the rock wall had bounced outward, and it was several feet thick. When the entire stone gate completely popped out of the rock wall, it was moved to the side, but there was a moving track under the stone gate. Xie Yixiang clinged to the rock wall next to her, knowing that it was someone from the Mo family who had finally arrived, and was about to ask Ning Cui what she should do, but she saw Ning Cui's figure flicker, and she rushed straight into the open stone door, and then there was a muffled snort, and there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Xie Yixiang hurriedly rushed into the stone gate, only to see a dark walkway behind the stone gate, and an old man in black was lying at Ning Cui's feet, still holding two thick futons in his hands. That Zhao Xiaoling also came in and shouted: "This is the old uncle who often comes to bring me things, don't hurt him!" Ning Cui smiled: "Don't worry, I just sealed his acupoint, and he will wake up on his own in two hours." ”

Xie Yixiang was worried that there were other people in the aisle, so she couldn't help but be careful, who knew that there was only such an old man in black in the aisle behind the stone gate, which showed that the Mo family was not strict with the guards of this "little dragon king". At that moment, the three of them didn't say much, lit the torches that had been prepared, and walked all the way along the aisle, and after about a meal, they came to a small stone room, and looked at the furnishings inside, most of which was the residence of the old man in black, and there were no other guards.

When they passed through the stone room, there was a zigzag stone staircase in front of them as before, and the three of them just went up along the stone staircase, climbed about five or six zhang high, and then came to a cave seven or eight zhang square. I saw that in the middle of this cave was a bottomless pit, and it was dark and impossible to see the end, only a suspension bridge about a foot wide hung on the top of the pit. As soon as Ning Cui stepped into the cave, he heard someone exclaim, "Who is it?" Ning Cui did not answer, and immediately started to fight with the man.

Xie Yixiang followed, and then saw that there were clearly two black-clothed men guarding this end of the suspension bridge, who were fighting against the oil umbrella in Ning Cui's hand with a short sword, and asked to himself: "Who are you, how did you come up from here?" Ning Cui sealed several more of their acupuncture passages, making sure that there were no other guards, and then cautiously passed through the drawbridge on the deep pit. Xie Yixiang and Zhao Xiaoling followed closely behind, walked out of the cave through the suspension bridge, and a zigzag-shaped stone staircase extending upwards appeared in front of them again.

The three of them continued to move forward, passing through four similar checkpoints along the way, there were not many men in black guarding them, and their martial arts were even more commonplace, all of them were subdued by Ning Cui and Xie Yixiang, which can be described as thrilling. Xie Yixiang saw that the outfits of these men in black were similar to the ink remnants he had seen that day, most of them were disciples of the Mo family, thinking that they didn't know that there was a secret passage hidden under this ink tower, so they suddenly bumped into himself and Ning Cui, two strange women, and they were at a loss.

After walking like this for more than two hours, the three of them felt that they were walking higher and higher, apparently heading towards the top of this ink tower. After climbing the last section of the stone staircase, you will come to a huge space, and by the light of the torch, there are twenty or thirty zhang square circles, more than three zhang high, and it is clearly a huge stone room.

And in the whole stone room, there are all kinds of strange and strange pieces, large and small, high and low, some are forged in metal, some are assembled in wood, and they are hazy under the light of torches, and they are not real. Seeing that there were no guards in the stone chamber, Xie Yixiang carefully examined these objects, and it didn't take long for him to find a few things like siege chariots, and suddenly came to his senses: "It turns out that these are all mechanisms designed by the Mo family, and this stone chamber must be used for storage." ”

Although Ning Cui knew a little about this ink tower, he didn't know the structure inside, so how could he have the heart to look at these mechanisms designed by the Mo family? The three of them hurriedly looked for a way out in the stone chamber, and then found a stone door on the opposite side; pushing open the stone door, a zigzag-shaped stone staircase appeared outside again. The three of them climbed to the end of the stone staircase, and suddenly they felt that their eyes were bright, but they came to a new stone room of the same size as the stone room below, the difference was that on the four walls of this stone room, there were actually oil lamps hanging on the face, which illuminated the whole stone room.

Xie Yixiang looked at it, and there were a lot of objects piled up in the stone room in front of him, but most of them were unformed parts, and there were clearly more than a dozen black-clothed people scattered all over the stone room, some were reading, some were writing, and some were fiddling with these parts, and they didn't notice the three people who suddenly broke in.

Xie Yixiang and Ning Cui glanced at each other, and they didn't know whether these black-clothed people were deaf or blind, so they immediately cautiously stepped forward and came to a black-clothed woman sitting on the ground. I saw that the woman in black was looking down and writing the paper, seeing what she was writing seemed to be calculating, completely ignoring the approach of the two. Xie Yixiang couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Excuse me...... Excuse me......" She didn't know what she could ask even when she said two "excuses", but she didn't raise her head when she saw the woman in black, and said coldly: "Get out." ”

Xie Yixiang was slightly stunned, and then reacted, thinking that the woman in black was so engrossed in calculating that she was a little obsessed, so she couldn't allow others to disturb her. Ning Cui next to him suddenly laughed and said, "This girl, we want to get out, but you have to tell us where to get out first." The woman in black seemed a little annoyed, and said casually: "You can go wherever you want, and don't bother me." Ning Cui smiled grimly: "I want to get out of this ink tower, but I don't know where the way out is." If you don't tell me, I'll just keep bothering you. ”

Hearing this, the woman in black finally raised her head and glared at Ning Cui, although she was angry, but she was not surprised at all when she saw two strange girls appear beside her, and then stretched out her hand and said, "Go out, go to the sixth layer of 'Tianzhi', and roll down the tower by hanging bucket." Xie Yixiang hurriedly asked, "What sixth layer?"

The woman in black was suddenly furious, threw the brush in her hand to the ground, and said coldly: "Ten layers of Mota, stick to one heart." From the bottom to the top, the first floor is the place where the organs are stored, the second floor is the ashram for studying the news of the organs, the third floor is the place for dining and bathing, the fourth floor is the reading hall for the fourth floor, the fifth floor is the practice room, the sixth floor is the gateway to the ink tower, the seven or eight floors are the residences of the disciples, the ninth floor is the place where the ink scholars deliberate, and the tenth floor is the tenth floor. 'Love' is the place where the giant retreats and cultivates. If you want to get out of the ink tower, go to the sixth layer of the 'Heavenly Will' above, don't disturb me here, do you understand?"

Ning Cui couldn't help laughing: "In this way, I won't disturb you, but I will knock you out." As soon as the words fell, she waved the oil umbrella in her hand, and immediately knocked the woman in black unconscious.
