Speaking of this pine and cypress, squatting to look for a mechanism, the candle dripped on his hand, and when he shook his hand in pain, a black shadow on the wall approached, waving a stick and smashing it towards his head. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Hearing this, the whistling sound came, and Songbai rolled to the side, dodging the blow, and then saw clearly that the person was coming, and it was a man dressed in missionary clothes, and the black hat on his head covered his face.

The black-clad and black-hated missionary smashed at him again with a wooden stick, and the pine and cypress dodged, grabbed the stick, and split it with one palm, sending sawdust flying everywhere.

The missionary then turned and fled, unscrewed the mechanism on the stone door, and flashed into it, and the door was closed again.

Songbai chased after him, came to the stone gate, and touched the place where the missionary twisted just now, and sure enough, the stone door opened again, but it was pitch black inside, and it could be said that he could not see his fingers.

Songbai held the candle in his hand, slowly entered the stone gate, and by the candlelight, he vaguely saw that there was a cave inside, in addition to the cave wall that was still seeping, it was a wetland with moss growing below, and he almost fell to the ground several times.

The pine and cypress along this moss path, groping forward in the depths, faintly hearing the sound of running water in front, the pine and cypress quickened their pace, and gradually had a trace of light, and gradually walked out of the secret passage, the exit is the rockery in the back garden of the church, the rockery on the stone platform is murmuring, there is a look at the right, but there is no trace.

The pine and cypress searched in this back garden, but never saw it, there was no trace of it, so they sat on the stone platform, bent down to wash their hands, but heard the sound of a door opening in the cave.

Songbai hurriedly hid behind the stone, only to see the missionary in black clothes and black hat just now, coming out of the gate of the rockery, putting the plants next to him at the door to cover up, and then probing his brain, looking around and feeling into the church.

Songbai followed closely behind, watching from a distance, trying to find out what was going on in the church, but the man watched in front of the window, and after making sure that there was no one, he opened the window and turned in.

Songbai squatted under the window, and before he had time to look up, something smashed out, just hit his head, and quickly rolled to the side, so as to avoid the fear of being hit by something.

Songbai shook his head, still shocked by this sudden attack, only to see the missionary, holding a black cloth bag in his hand, crawled out of the window, picked up the rice bag on the ground, carried it on his shoulder, and went to the rockery cave.

The pine and cypress followed, tiptoeing, afraid of alarming the person in front, only to see him move the bonsai in front of the rockery, and after entering the hole, he moved the tree and blocked the entrance of the cave again.

When Songbai saw him enter the cave, he came to the rockery, moved the thing that stood in the way, followed him into the cave, saw the missionary, groped on the wall for a while, and then twisted the mechanism on the wall, carried the shoulder of the rice bag, shrugged it a few times, threw the rice bag into it, and then climbed up to the entrance of the cave.

The pine and cypress came to the front of the cave door, and it turned out that the hole was carved on the wall, which was different from the general cave door, not with the ground level, but the hole opened in the middle of the wall, no wonder it was not so easy to find.

Seeing the candlelight flickering inside, the missionary was cutting open the rice bag, taking out the rice inside, and preparing to cook, the pine and cypress jumped up the hole and walked behind the missionary.

I saw this man turn around suddenly, and smashed the head of Songbai with a spatula in his hand, so frightened that he quickly dodged and dodged, waving his hand and saying: "Wait, wait, I'm not an enemy, I'm here to find Father Makai, the widows outside have been driven away by me, that's the way it is." ”

"Why should I believe you? You don't have to spend all this painstaking work, I won't tell you where the things are hidden. Get out of here, it's a sacred place, don't defile here, get out of here. The man took a spatula, pointed to the pine and cypress, and spoke in Chinese, which he was not fluent in.

"I think you're mistaken, look at this, maybe you'll understand. Songbai took it out of his arms, Herena's necklace, and shook it in his hand.

"How is that possible? How is this thing with you? Tell me, where is Herena? What the hell is wrong with her?" the man asked as he took off his hat with some excitement and looked at Songbai suspiciously.

"Herena is outside the Zhenwu Palace, living in a small cabin, maybe the humidity is too heavy, she has been having a high fever, we have sought a doctor for treatment, but there is no progress at all, so she asked me to come and ask you for help. Songbai explained slowly.

Only then did Songbai take a closer look at this man, about fifty years old, with no flesh on his face, prominent cheekbones, blond hair, a gray and white beard on his chin, and some dry and cracked lips.

"How can this be? I'd better go with you, if you continue to burn like this, you will burn into pneumonia. The missionary rummaged through the cupboard, put some glass bottles in the medicine box, and came out of the cave with the pine.

"You should be Father Mackay, right?" asked Songbai as he walked.

"Yes, that's right, I'm Father Mackay, and I'm the one Herena called you for," said the missionary, carrying a medicine box.

"What the hell are those Dongying ronins going on, what the hell are they trying to do here, and why did they disappear somehow. Songbai helped Ma Kai go to the medicine box on his shoulder, turned his head and asked.

"These Dongying ronins, they have been here for almost a week, and the missionaries in this church, killing and killing, closing and closing the gates, and closing the door so that outsiders do not let in, it is really hateful!" Ma Kai said angrily.

"What do they want to do here? Didn't you report to the officials? These Dongying people are too rampant, and they actually came to the capital to make trouble. Songbai asked puzzled.

"These Dongying people have been entrenched in the church, outsiders are not allowed to enter, and people inside are not allowed to go out, I am hiding in the secret passage, so I have not been discovered by them, otherwise, I am afraid that they would have been arrested and tortured a long time ago!" Ma Kai said a little breathlessly.

Holding Ma Kai, Songbai sat down on a big rock by the roadside, looked at the passers-by and continued to ask, "What do they want to do when they occupy your church? Could it be that they have also begun to believe in God and worship Jesus?"

"They wanted to come and get something, and if we didn't give it, we took a big shot, arrested all the missionaries of our church, and tortured them severely, just to get it out of their mouths, our treasure!" Ma Kai rested for a while, stood up, and prepared to continue walking.

Outside the wooden house of the Zhenwu Palace, Ma Tong of the beggar gang was very anxious with his hands behind his back, walking back and forth on the grass, and when he saw Songbai bringing people back, he hurriedly greeted him.

"You're back, this Herena girl, the more you burn, the more confused you become, and now you're starting to talk nonsense, hurry back and take a look!" Ma Tong said anxiously.

Songbai led the way in front and took Ma Kai into the wooden house, Qin Ningyun hurried forward, took the medicine box on Ma Kai's shoulder, and led the bed forward.

Outside the door, there was a stir, and a group of masked people, armed with steel knives, approached the wooden house step by step......
