Chapter X: Interrogation

Gong Zhu Mu Jiu felt that his head was groggy, as if the skull had been opened and the lead had been poured into it, and he couldn't lift it up at all. As he tried his best to lift his eyelids, a sudden chill ran from the top of his head to his feet, and he suddenly woke up.

"Do you feel empowered? When Gong Yu Mu Jiu finally opened his eyelids, he saw clearly that there was a guy in black clothes and a mask sitting in front of him. This mask has fangs and teeth, protruding eyes, a crown of white velvet, and a hideous face. His voice was hoarse like a crow, which made Gong Yi Mu Jiu so frightened that he couldn't help but lean back, and the chair that had lost his balance fell straight back, making Gong Yi Mu Jiu hoarse in pain.

"Lift up. The fanged mask commanded the two people on the left and right, and then lifted Gong Mu Jiu straight up, Gong Ji Mu Jiu looked at the two people who were also wearing masks approaching him, and he couldn't help but tremble, and his mind was blank.

"Gongshi Shizi, I am waiting to invite you here because I have a matter of request. Gong Mu Jiu didn't dare to make a sound, his eyes widened and he looked straight at the fanged mask and arched his hand towards him. "Please calm down, we won't hurt you. ”

"I... I... No, you... What is it... Who is it?" Gong Mu Jiu stared straight at the fanged mask, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and unconsciously looked around the room... The small space has nothing but darkness. And in this claustrophobic and dimly lit room, three terrifying masked faces looked at themselves, and the only light was the torches in their hands, how could this make a normal person calm down?

The leader waved his hand, and the two men understood, hung their torches on the wall, and withdrew from the room.

"Gong Loser, I don't want to hurt you. The fanged mask said sorry, but his attitude was respectful. "Hope it doesn't scare you. ”

"Oh... This... This... That's right. Gong Yi Mu Jiu's mood eased slightly, but he still couldn't stop his trembling mouth: "You... You're looking for me... Yes... What the... What's the matter?"

"That's right. Fangs Mask coughed and said, "We need to borrow your mansion's "Wood Machine" six styles for a view. ”

"Six Styles of "Wood Machine"?" Gong Ji Mu Jiu heard the word "wood machine", his mouth stopped trembling, and he exclaimed: "That's my father's life's baby, and only the eldest brother and Brother Ziqi can see it in the whole house." ”

"Of course, we know that "Wood Machine" is the secret of the public loser. The fanged mask smiled. "So I have to ask the public loser to help me. ”

"How can I help?" Gong Mu Jiu cautiously asked the fanged mask, "Don't you dare if you want me to steal it." ”

"No, the scholar just needs to tell me where the six styles of the "Wood Machine" are in the house. Fangs Mask stood up and said with his back to Gong Mu Jiu. "I'll have my own way of getting it. ”

When Gong Yi Mu Jiu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was silent.

There are ghosts in the house.

Without waiting for him to carefully calculate who the ghost was, the fanged mask spoke again: "Of course, if the scholar refuses to help, we have a way." ”

When Gong Yi Mu Jiu heard this, he didn't care about the ghosts inside, and shouted loudly: "Wait... Wait, no... No... It's not that I don't help. When Fangs Mask heard him shout and turn around, he lowered his voice, paused, and said, "It's... I really don't know where this "Wood Machine" is. ”

Hearing this, Fangmask stared at him for a long time, but did not speak. Gong Yi Mu Jiu thought that he had made the other party angry, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to defend: "There are really only Brother Ziqi and my eldest brother in the house who have seen this "Wood Machine", I have not had any talent for wood machines since I was a child, and everyone in this family knows it, so my father has never taught me." ”

Fanged Mask spoke, "Oh, where is your eldest brother at this time?"

"I don't know. After saying this, Gong Mu Jiu regretted it, and quickly changed his words: "But my father said that the technique originated from the people, so the eldest brother went to the people to travel, I remember that he said that it seems to be going north." ”

"Where to go north?" asked Fanged Mask.

"I really don't know this time. Gong Mu Jiu said bitterly.

"In this way, just send someone to Yan Kingdom to look for it. The fanged mask held his chin with his hand, and said silently in his mouth, without asking Gong Mu Jiu to hear.

"That's... Excuse me... Can you let me go back?" looked at the fanged mask and bowed his head and groaned, as if there was no question to ask him. "I... If I go back too late, my mother will reprimand me... I'm sorry. Gong Mu Jiu asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, I have another question. Fangs Mask looked up, laughed and said, "Who is this Xie Yu? Even you can't get the true inheritance of your family, why can?"

Gong Yi Mu Jiu looked at the fanged mask and said, "Brother Ziqi was introduced by my father's friend, and the relationship is very good. Because Brother Ziqi was admitted to Luoyi Academy, he had no property in Wangji, so he lived in my house, and my father appreciated his knowledge very much, so he made an exception to let him study "Wood Machine". Feeling that the other party didn't believe it, Gong Yi Mu Jiu immediately added: "I know this"

"What is your father's relationship with his father? I really don't believe that this will allow him to study the secret art of the level of Wood Machine. Sure enough, Fangfang Mask didn't believe Gong Yi Mu Jiu's words and asked questions.

"It's not..."I really don't know, Gong Yi Mu Jiu is about to cry. "Let me think about it. Gong Yi Mu Jiu was afraid that the other party would be ruthless if he didn't get a satisfactory answer, and began to try to recall.

The fanged mask didn't speak, but gave time to Gong Mu Jiu.

After a long time, Gongyi Mu Jiu finally spoke: "I vaguely remember that Brother Ziqi just came to the house, and my father only called me that day. My father said to him, 'Is your master in good health?' and Brother Ziqi said, 'Uncle Lao is worried, Master is in good health.' Master said that the first thing you said to Ziqi must have been to ask how his health was, so at this time, I want Ziqi to tell you: You should also take care of your body, don't be tired of it, and the next time you compete with him, you can't use your body as an excuse. When my father heard this, he seemed to be happy and patted Brother Ziqi on the shoulder and laughed and said, "Ziqi doesn't need to be so polite, I can think of what your master said with my eyes closed." Brother Ziqi said, "Uncle said that he was laughing, Master, he has been talking about you for a long time." The father said, "Come on, I must have always boasted to you that I was his defeated subordinate, hmph, I can tell you, when he was studying, he was often punished by his husband for not eating, because he was stupid, how can he compare with me, a prodigy?" Gong Mu Jiu still said, "I really know so much." ".

"So to speak. The fanged mask pondered for a moment and said, "Xie Yu came to Luoyi to study with your father because his master and Gong's son are close friends, and they also practice mechanical arts?"

"That's how it should be. Gong Mu Jiu nodded wryly.

"Then why did he enter the Luoyi Academy again?" Fangs asked in a low voice, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Gongyi Mu Jiu's confused face, and when he saw that there was nothing more to ask, he said: "In this case, I will not disturb the rest of the Gongyi Scholar." As he spoke, the fanged mask arched his hand towards Gong Mu Jiu, turned around and opened the door of the closed room.

"Hey, wait, didn't you say let me out?" shouted Gong Mu Jiu.

Hearing this, the fanged mask tilted his head slightly, and said to the male loss Mu Jiu behind him, "I said... There are other ways... You have to use the life of the scholar in exchange for the "Wooden Machine", and you have to ask the scholar to wait for a while. With that, he closed the door.

Leaving Gong Mu Jiu to sit indoors.
