Chapter XVIII: The Dungeon

Chen Zhongfu glanced out of the door and asked, "What about Mr. Chen, didn't you come with your son?"

"He was in the city to treat people, and I don't know if he will be able to come today. Duan You said according to what Mr. Chen had just taught him.

"That-" Chen Zhongfu was slightly disappointed and said, "Today, the lord of the mansion and the lord of the young mansion are back, and it just so happens that the second lord of the mansion also went out and came back, so the lord of the mansion ordered a banquet, one is to thank Chen Gongzi and Mr. Chen for their hard work for our house and healed the injuries of his wife, the second is to take the wind and wash the dust, and the third is to celebrate the success of the dart." The lord of the house asked me to invite Mr. Gongzi, and the second lord heard that the son was strong in martial arts and had a good character, so he specially came to see it. After speaking, he laughed with Zou Lan.

"It's the first to bow and pay respect. Zou Lan corrected with a smile.

Duan You hurriedly smiled: "Ashamed, ashamed." ”

The three of them entered the house together.

It was still that hall, and most of the room was already full of wine and food, and Chen Shanren - it should be called Zou Chun - and Chen Yi smiled and greeted Duan You.

Five people were seated. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zou Chun said to Duan You: "Chen Gongzi, there is a matter of old decay, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"

Duan Youxin said: Serious business is coming. Just said: "Chen Shanren, please speak up." ”

"Okay, Childe, then I'll say it directly. Zou Chun continued, "A few days ago, the Huazi entered the Ruian Mansion at night, and the son caught Haixi, so I asked Haixi to be punished a little, and then let him go." But some of my subordinates were not angry, so they arrested Haixi again and asked him to hand over Haibao's whereabouts. I thought it was Hai Bao's head, but I didn't expect Hai Xi to say that it was the head of a man named Jing Duan. My subordinates let Haixi and Haibao capture Jingduan, and that Jingduan ...... He said that he was not called Jing Duan, but his surname was Duan, his real name was Duan Jing, the second son of Duan Mansion in Liangzhou City back then, and he also said that you are the son...... Your name is Duan You, and your father is Duan Zhen, a famous soul chaser back then. ”

When Duan You heard the word Duan Jing come out of Zou Chun's mouth, his heart suddenly sank, but he immediately calmed down, and it was really a piece of cake to find out Duan Jing's real name by means of Buddha-faced scorpions. However, why did they arrest the Duan family, Duan You also wanted to know in a hurry.

He saw Zou Chun, Zou Lan, and Chen Zhongfu looking at him with burning eyes, but Chen Yi didn't seem to be interested, and only cared about drinking, so he said calmly: "Yes, my real name is Duan You, incognito, I really have a hard time, please forgive Chen Shanren and everyone." ”

"Childe is really happy!" Zou Chun put the wine bowl down, and then said, "It's not a secret, we are not from Liangzhou, we came here with my family from other places a few years ago, it is really for a family heirloom, this heirloom, the name is Ji, Jue, Huan." ”

Duan Youyou was stunned: "What is that? It has something to do with the Duan family?"

"Exactly. Zou Chun said, "It is the following ring, I heard that it is in the hands of the Duan family, and I also ask Gongzi to return this thing to me, this is my family's ancestral thing, it is very important to me, but Yu Gongzi is not worth mentioning." After the son returns it, there is no ambiguity about what I want, and what I give. ”

Duan You was surprised, looked at a few people, and saw that except for Chen Yi, everyone else was staring at him intently, with both expectation and murderous intent in their eyes. He groaned, "So, what are you looking for me for? What is it?"

Zou Chun sighed, and Chen Yi said on the side: "It may be a ring or a bracelet, or jade or iron or something, if it is called a ring, it must be a round thing." Saying that, he looked at Zou Chun, "In my opinion, Brother Chen...... Oh, Brother Duan, if Brother Duan had, he would definitely take it out, right, Brother Duan. He looked at Duan You again.

Duan You saw that Chen Yi had a look that didn't care about himself, and he wasn't sure what was in his heart, so he said: "If I have it, I will definitely offer it with both hands, but it is the first time I have heard of this thing, and I have indeed never seen it." ”

Zou Chun, Zou Lan, and Chen Zhongfu's eyes flickered.

Duan You sneered in his heart, if he wanted to make a move, he was not afraid at all, even if he couldn't catch a few people, there was no problem in self-preservation. After thinking for a moment, he asked Zou Chun: "Since you doubt me, you have arrested Duan Jing, and you must have arrested the rest of the Duan family, where are they? I want to see them." ”

There was a cold light in Zou Chun's eyes, which was fleeting, and then he showed a look of surprise, and said: "Don't blame Duan Gongzi, the old decay is also a last resort, but catching the Duan family is not what you think." ”

"Hey!" Chen Yi stood up and said to Zou Chun, "You can catch it, just admit it, since Brother Duan said that he has never seen you, then there is no plan." In my opinion, those Duan family members don't know about this, so they just ask them to accompany them, let Brother Duan take them away, and don't make mistakes again and again. As he spoke, he carried over the wine jar, filled the bowls of the five with wine, and said, "After drinking this bowl of wine together, laughing and hating, what's the matter, Brother Duan?"

Duan You said yes and picked up the bowl. Although he didn't know if he could find Duan Ling, he knew that Chen Yi was not originally with Zou Chun and Zou Lan, and this matter might have nothing to do with him.

Zou Chun, Zou Lan, and Chen Zhongfu had to raise their bowls. The five bowls touched slightly, and each of the five people drank the wine in the bowl.

Duan Youyi took a sip of his mouth, and was about to say to leave, but when he saw the four of them smiling evilly, he was shocked, and jumped backwards, but suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and he fell to the ground......

I don't know how long it took, Duan You woke up, only to feel that it was dark and gloomy all around, and he didn't know where he was. The head was still a little dizzy, the hands and feet were tied, and when I moved, there was a long sound of cang, and I realized that I was bound by iron chains. He felt a chill in his heart: he was imprisoned by the Buddha-faced scorpion and Chen Yi!

After a while, Duan You gradually got used to the light, only to find himself in a large curved room without windows, not far from him, there were eight or nine people sitting on the ground, all with long hair covering their faces.

Duan You's heart moved, and he opened his mouth and shouted, "Duan Jing, Ling'er, come here." ”

Just listen to the innermost squirming, a head wrapped in a strip of cloth poked out, it was Duan Jing. He hunched over and walked slowly, and as soon as he reached Duan You's approach, he knelt down with a thud and cried: "Brother You, I didn't intend to reveal your identity, in fact, they already knew your surname Duan, but they just asked me to confirm it." If I don't admit it, not only will I not be able to save my ears, but I will also be able to save my legs. He pointed to his surviving right ear. Seeing Duan You motioning for him to continue, he continued, "That yellow-bearded man, he said that you had the Duan family's stick technique when you used the stick, and he said that he was originally from Qilian Mountain, and he fought with your father in his early years, so he knew it. They also went to Wu'an County, and said that there was no son of a family named Chen You there, and there was no old man like Mr. Chen, so I ...... lowered my head as I said, looking like I was going to be beaten and scolded.

Duan You listened and was speechless. This Buddha-faced double scorpion is really as Mr. Chen said, with a cautious mind and decisive action. They have long doubted themselves, but they have not shown the slightest word, and once they have confirmed it, they act vigorously. From Zou Lan personally waiting for him in the row room, he had actually decided to tear his face and do it - if he refused the banquet. As for himself, he clearly knows their identities, but he is still lucky, indecisive, and finally calculated!

And that Chen Yi is even more superbly disguised, always looking big and straightforward, really weird! He blindly trusts others, acts forward-looking and backward, how can he not be planted!

At this time, the sky was already dawning, and there was light through the iron fence gate, and he could see everyone's faces clearly, Duan You also knew that he was in the cellar that Gongsun E said, he stood up, walked to the two twelve or thirteen-year-old girls, looked carefully, and was disappointed in his heart.

Although after Duan Jing called him "Brother You" just now, he concluded that there was no Duan Ling among the crowd, but he still had luck in his heart, and felt that Duan Ling was clever and might be guarding against fraud. But, indeed, no.

Ling'er, where are you!

Nine people, three surnamed Dou, three surnamed Zhong, and three surnamed Duan. Among them, Dou and Zhong were from Liangzhou City, and they said that they were relatives of Master Duan Xuan, but Duan You did not recognize them; those three surnamed Duan were farmers on the dry beach slope in the west of the city, and they said that they had nothing to do with the Duan family in Liangzhou City. One of them said with a sad face, "We are working in the fields, and we don't say a word to anyone who comes, first we raid our houses, then we arrest people, and we have never heard of any rings...... One pass is three or four years, and he will not let go or be judged, and it seems that he will die of old age in this cellar.

Duan You sat on the ground, listening to everyone's chatter, and gradually understood the thoughts of Zou Chun, Zou Lan, and Chen Yi: deceit, sleepy, etc. That is, someone in the cellar deceived someone to say that they were trapped and waited for the Duan family who had the Jie Ring to save them.

However, how could they be so sure that the Jie Ring was in the hands of the Duan family?

Duan Youke had never heard of it.

Duan You sneered in his heart, and said in his heart: You want to trap me, delusional! He raised his hands, ran his arms vigorously, and struggled outward, only to hear the sound of "Zheng-" on the ground, but the iron chain was not broken, and his wrist hurt.

Duan You was not discouraged, walked to the iron fence gate, and looked at the iron chain in the light, and saw that it was made of fine iron connected by rings, and there were gaps in each ring, and he should be able to find a way to pry it open.

So he searched for something in the cellar that could pry the ring, but he didn't find it.

Duan You was not in a hurry, he sat cross-legged on the ground, and ran the second pulse of the governor.

In the "Green Capsule Book", it is said that the second pulse of Ren Du is the general outline of the twelve canons. Duan Youxiang thinks that since it is the general outline, then after the second pulse of Ren Du is accessible and solid, it will naturally act on the twelve canons, making it accessible and solid, and then greatly increasing people's popularity. Over the past few days, Duan Youran Ren Du's second vein, and he already felt that his whole body was full of true qi, but he couldn't transport it to his arm, and he had a feeling that he couldn't make it. He had tried to direct the True Qi along the Shaoyin Lung Meridian in his hand to his right hand, but to no avail. But he was not discouraged, he knew that he was creating a path of martial arts training that his father had never had, and it would definitely not be an overnight achievement, so he was not in a hurry or impatient.

Thinking of the "Green Capsule Book", Duan You touched it in his arms and said secretly: "I was searched! Not only the "Green Capsule Book", but also the jade pendants, money bags and other things on his body have been searched, and only a dozen thumb-sized stones in his pocket are still there-if Zou Chun knew that he was good at playing stones, he would have searched them long ago.
