Chapter 5: Meeting in the Dungeon
"Who are you?"
"You broke into the palace to find the old man, who did you ask the old man?" stood in front of the Imperial Palace.
"I met a man on the road who could turn into flames, but you gave him that ability?" Tang Rufeng stood at the foot of the steps, holding the orb in his right hand and said loudly.
"Oh, you mean Qiao Chenpei?" The national teacher squinted at the orb in Tang Rufeng's hand.
"I don't know what the name is!" Tang Rufeng shook his head, "I'll just ask you, do you know Tang Ruhai?"
"Oh, like the sea, are you a guest in my house?" The national teacher was still staring at the glittering orb.
"I'm his younger brother, take me to meet him!" Tang Rufeng said overjoyed, he didn't expect to see his brother.
"The bead in your hand was snatched from Qiao Chenpei?" The national teacher did not answer, but asked.
"You can take this, take me to my brother!" Tang Rufeng looked at the beads in his hand and threw them out. The orb drew a perfect arc in the sun, and the national teacher took it in his hand, a smile leaked from his face, and he secretly said, "That's right, it's this baby!"
"Since he is Ruhai's younger brother, the old man is really lazy, come with me!" The national teacher took the jewel into his arms, and walked down the steps towards the outer city. Although this national teacher looks gray-haired, his foot strength is really not ordinarily good, and his walking speed is about to catch up with the carriage, but fortunately, this Tang Rufeng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he is also in a hurry, and he is not left behind. The two of them went out from the west gate of the inner city, crossed the Yuhe Bridge to the north, and finally stopped in front of a large hall until the north. Tang Rufeng looked up, and the door plaque on the main hall said Qingfu Palace, and he was about to go inside when he raised his feet.
"Where are you going?" The national teacher asked coldly.
"Isn't this place?" Tang Rufeng was stunned.
"It's not far away, Nuo is ahead!" the national teacher raised his hand and pointed to a few slightly smaller palaces in front of him.
"Then I'm sorry for you to lead the way!" Tang Rufeng was rarely so polite, only to see that the two of them hadn't gone far, and a palace that was slightly smaller than Fang Cai was placed in front of him, but the words written on the door plaque made Tang Rufeng's brows deep, and he saw that the big plaque was written with three big characters of livestock house. Tang Rufeng muttered in his heart, how could this brother come back to such a place, and then see that if this old man is really a national teacher, how can he live in a place called a livestock house, isn't there a fraud? Although Tang Rufeng thought so, he still followed the old man into this livestock house, thinking that maybe it was just a rough name, but when he went in, he found that it was really a place to raise livestock, and the chickens, ducks, pigs and cattle for the emperor's relatives to eat were sour and smelly. The national teacher opened a bullpen with ease, removed the straw on the ground, and revealed an iron door, accompanied by a metallic sound of "bang!", a dungeon appeared in front of him.
"My brother is down here?" Tang Rufeng clenched his fists and asked the national teacher.
The national teacher had already walked halfway down, only showing his head outside, and looked at Tang Rufeng, "The old man will still lie to you, you can't see your brother yet!"
Tang Rufeng waved his hand and motioned for the national teacher to continue walking, and the national teacher walked down the dungeon and waited for Tang Rufeng to come down, bringing the iron door of the dungeon.
"Ahhh~~~ Roar!!" As soon as Tang Rufeng entered the dungeon, he roared angrily, his voice changed from a human to the roar of a lion.
"Brother, brother, what's wrong with you, brother, look at me! I'm Ah Feng! brother!" Tang Rufeng hurriedly ran to the depths of the dungeon, only to see that it was the person Lu Ziang had seen in Qiao Chenpei's memory before, his two thighs were pierced by hooks and chained to the ground, and he was panting without a mouthful at the moment.
"Uh... Ah Feng?" Tang Ruhai opened his eyes weakly and looked at Tang Rufeng with a blurred look.
"Drink, brother, it's me! Why did you get to such a point? But the national teacher kidnapped you?" Tang Rufeng turned into a mantis sickle, and in a few clicks, he broke the chains that bound Tang Rufeng. "Brother, what about your abilities, how can you be trapped by these things?"
"I... Long... I didn't have anything to eat...."Tang Ruhai said weakly.
"Brother, you wait!" Tang Rufeng looked around, took down a torch on the wall, his skin slowly became wrinkled, several octopus feet grew out of his waist, and his hands formed a sickle.
"I... No... Eat.... Even if.. Be... Shapeshift..... Also... You.. Target... Meat..."Tang Ruhai said with some stubbornness.
"Hey, your life is going to be gone, what else to say, just eat, brother, I don't have any other strengths, it's just good health, brother, don't worry about me!" Tang Rufeng stuffed it into Tang Ruhai's mouth without saying a word, maybe he hadn't eaten for too long, or maybe this octopus foot was too perfectly grilled, Tang Ruhai still couldn't stand the persuasion and devoured it. "Eat slowly, don't choke, brother, what the hell happened to you, why are you in such a place?"
"Hiccup!" Tang Ruhai patted his chest, and as soon as he reached out with his right hand, a water balloon slowly condensed, and the water balloon naturally turned into a water vein and flew towards Tang Ruhai's mouth. "That's a long story!" Tang Ruhai snorted coldly, and the thigh that was hooked by the iron hook turned into flames, turning the two iron hooks into molten iron.
"Roughly speaking! I'll talk about the rest later!"
"In short, just a few months ago, the national teacher came to me and asked me if I wanted to serve the country like my father. I was impressed, but when I came with him, I found out that he didn't know how to know our abilities, and asked me to cooperate with him to do some experiments, otherwise I would have to go to you!" Tang Ruhai looked at his younger brother carefully.
"What? What kind of experiment is this national teacher going to do?" Tang Rufeng was both surprised and guilty, his brother was willing to bend to this cold dungeon for months for his own sake.
"It's the Replica Project!"
"Well, on the way here, I saw a person with the ability to fire your brother, is that one of them?" Tang Rufeng thought thoughtfully.
"Have you already seen it?" Tang Ruhai was a little surprised.
"Well, it's because I saw him that I found you!"
"I have tested hundreds of people, only such a dying person has succeeded, I was trying to save him, but I didn't expect to give him the ability to fire, and then the national teacher has been forcing me to make troops for him. I'm afraid that he will abuse this power and never cooperate with him, so he plans to file my sharp spirit and force me to compromise!"
"Hmph, brother, your decision is right, no one else in this world is reliable!" Tang Rufeng couldn't help but get angry when he thought of the people in the Hundred Beast Valley.
"Alright, let's get out of here.... Be careful!uh..... How could it be?" Tang Ruhai hurriedly dialed Tang Rufeng, turned into a person composed of water and floated behind Tang Rufeng.
"Brother!!" When Tang Rufeng turned his head, he found that his brother had changed from water form to human form, lying on the ground and convulsing.
"Little brother, it's really hard to attack the old man!" The national teacher, who was already lying in a pool of blood, was now standing in front of him intact.
