Qi Yang and Ling'er came to the quiet courtyard to the east of the lower floor.
Qi Yang listened with bated breath for a while, and said to Ling'er: "There is no one inside, but I don't know if there is a secret room or something." Ask the girl to follow. โ
Ling'er nodded and followed Qi Yang inside.
Although it was not yet time at this time, the courtyard was still a little dim, which inexplicably made people feel eerie.
There was only one room inside, and there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing from the house, causing the torches burning in the room to flicker and flicker.
As soon as she walked into the room, Ling'er smelled a bloody stench, and she quickly took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose.
The two of them paused and surveyed the spacious room.
In the middle of the room stood several wooden stakes, some standing upright, others erected into a cross with heavy chains entwined around them. There is also a crate bed next to the stake, and the bed has various chains and handcuffs. This is a torture chamber.
Ling'er was shocked and couldn't help leaning towards Qi Yang's side, while Qi Yang stretched out his arm to comfort her with Ling'er's fragrant shoulder.
Ling'er turned sideways and found that there was a large row of shelves behind them, that is, on the right side of the gate, and there were things hanging on them, which made Ling'er exclaim in surprise.
It was a variety of torture instruments, and several of them Ling'er actually recognized, weren't they the torture tools used in the "Ten Tortures of the Demon Sect" that she had heard Zhong Gong mention? Thinking of their terrible use, Ling'er was so frightened that she threw herself into Qi Yang's arms.
Only then did Qi Yang turn around and notice those torture tools.
The shelves are full of all kinds of long whips, canes, wattles, soldering irons, and saws, and on the table in front of the shelves are neatly placed iron hooks, meat tongs, tongs, meat brushes, ropes, wooden hands, and daggers of various shapes, and there are also large torture instruments such as tiger chairs, clamping sticks, and pointed stools on the side.
Ling'er smelled the familiar reassuring aura on Qi Yang's body, and her heart gradually calmed down. She was about to come out of Qi Yang's arms when she found that Qi Yang's body suddenly became a little stiff, and even trembled slightly.
Ling'er hurriedly pushed Qi Yang away and raised her head to look at him. I saw Qi Yang looking at those torture instruments, his expression was very solemn.
"Don't worry! There is no fresh smell of blood here in recent days, Xu Le must not have tortured Xiao Yizi and them yet. Ling'er hurriedly appeased Qi Yangdao.
Ling'er's gentle voice seemed to wake up Qi Yang, and he hurriedly turned his eyes away from looking at those torture instruments, turned his head to Ling'er and said, "Sorry, I'm distracted." The girl is the right person...... What did you say?"
Ling'er looked at Qi Yang, who was still in a trance, and asked with concern, "Brother Qi Yang, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay down there. Qi Yang hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "What did the girl say?"
Ling'er saw Qi Yang's perfunctory and turned her head away dissatisfied.
"The girl is worried about Xiao Yizi and them, Xu Le needs them to be treated, and he won't torture them. Qi Yang said.
Ling'er frowned, and thought, "Brother Qiyang is not worried about Xiao Yizi, so what's wrong with him?"
While Ling'er was pondering, Qi Yang had already walked to the end of the torture room to check if there was any secret door.
Ling'er suddenly raised her head and found that Qi Yang was far away from her, and the fear in her heart struck again. She walked quickly towards Qiyang, but she didn't notice that there was a small drainage ditch under her feet, and she accidentally stepped on the air and fell to the ground with a "plop".
Qi Yang hurriedly flashed over when he heard the movement, helped Ling'er up, and asked with concern, "Is the girl injured?"
Ling'er shook her head and said aggrievedly, "How can there be a ditch here?"
"There are ditches like this in the torture chambers to drain away the blood. Qi Yang explained.
"Dirty blood?" Ling'er hurriedly looked at his sleeve, and there were indeed a lot of dark black blood stains on it. She frowned and said, "Oh no! my clothes are dirty, they stink!"
"Before Xu Le comes back, the girl will go back to the room to change her clothes first!" Qi Yang said.
"No, I'm going to be with you. Ling'er refused.
"Okay, let's hurry up and find Xiao Yizi and them. Qi Yang said, and pulled Ling'er out.
"Isn't there a secret room here?" asked Ling'er.
"No, there are stone walls all around, and there is no place to open it. Qi Yang replied.
"Then where do we find it?" Ling'er asked again.
"In addition to here, the place close to the waterfall is the courtyard where Xu Le and the others live. Qi Yang said.
Ling'er said in surprise: "You mean that Xu Le locked Xiao Yizi and them in the place where he lived?"
"It's possible. Qi Yang said.
As they spoke, they had already left the torture chamber and came to the other side of the waterfall.
"There are some servants here, and the girl is close behind. If you are found, you are lost. Qi Yang explained softly.
Ling'er nodded knowingly.
Qi Yang was experienced, and he skillfully avoided those servants who were mediocre in martial arts, and searched room by room. In the end, Qi Yang took Ling'er to the innermost room near the waterfall, groping around on the wall.
Suddenly, Qi Yang exclaimed in surprise: "Found it!"
I saw Qi Yang push hard, and a secret door was pushed open.
Ling'er hurriedly looked into the secret door, and it was pitch black.
Although I couldn't see anything, I could still hear the sound of many people breathing and gasping in fear.
Ling'er was about to open her mouth to call Xiao Yizi, but Qi Yang pulled her out, and then Qi Yang closed the secret door again.
Ling'er was puzzled, so she heard Qi Yang say, "Someone is back! Now is not the time to save lives. โ
Qi Yang took Ling'er by the hand, left the room, and walked away from the waterfall.
Soon there was movement outside, first the sound of a broken vase, then several people talking.
"Every day he runs around for that miracle doctor! All he thinks about is that miracle doctor, and he doesn't take me seriously at all!"
"Childe, don't be angry! what should you do if you get angry?"
"It's better to be angry and healthy! Anyway, he doesn't have me in his heart, and it's a shame that I stay with him in this deserted place, he has no conscience!"
"Childe, you misunderstood the second son, he just wants to heal his body as soon as possible. Don't you want him to get better?"
"I'm getting better, I think he covets the position of the leader of the Demon Sect, right? I gave up everything for him, what about him? He only thinks about his position as the leader of the Demon Sect!"
"You can't say that! If the eldest prince and the third prince hear it, it will be terrible. โ
"Does he dare to do it?"
After a while, Qi Yang had already taken Ling'er to the edge of the outer wall of this courtyard. He held Ling'er's small waist, flew up, landed on the wall, and then jumped out.
Ling'er was startled when she looked out, the place where they jumped was the forest on the edge of the deep pool.
"It's so high!" Ling'er hurriedly closed her eyes. It's not that she doesn't believe in Qi Yang's light skills, and she closes her eyes just out of instinct.
It wasn't until she felt that she had landed lightly on the ground that Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief. She slowly opened her eyes, and saw Qi Yang, who didn't know when to let go of herself, bow his head and kneel on one knee.
"Brother Qi Yang, what's wrong with you?" Ling'er hurriedly leaned down to check Qi Yang's situation.
Qi Yang gritted his teeth and said, "It's just that the internal strength is a little weak, so it's not in the way." โ
Ling'er saw that there was sweat oozing from his forehead, and asked worriedly, "Is it really okay?"
"Hmm. Can the girl help them get rid of the drug first?" Qi Yang said, pointing to the two guards who were still asleep.
"Good. Ling'er took out the antidote from her pouch and walked towards the two of them.
Qi Yang took the opportunity to rub his knees.
Although they inhaled the antidote powder, the two guards were still affected by the smell of "Water Lantern Heart" and "Tranquility Grass" and were sleeping soundly.
Ling'er didn't care about them either, and trotted back to Qi Yang's side.
Qi Yang was already much better, and slowly stood up.
"Girl, hurry back and change your clothes! Xu Le is afraid that she is going to find her. Qi Yang said.
"Good. Ling'er was a little anxious when she heard this, and forgot to continue to ask about Qi Yang's physical discomfort for a while.
