Chapter 20 Guandou - Tunnel
βββ
Two figures ran down the stairs, around the corner, and squeezed through a narrow door, to a dark room where they couldn't see their fingers, and the sound of chasing behind them gradually became quieter. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ning Yifei barely dared to gasp, he knew that someone had discovered him. Fortunately, Brother Ouyang's light work was successful, and he pulled himself to dodge in time.
In the darkness, he leaned back against a wall, feeling cold and damp.
He tried to calm down, trying to hear if there was any chasing force, but all he could hear was the sound of his own heartbeat.
When his eyes finally adjusted to the darkness, he suddenly saw a vague outline in the doorway. He yelled in his heart, he turned his head away, wanting to remind Ouyang Feng. However, before he could turn back, a hand was held to his mouth.
He instinctively struggled and hit the stone wall behind him, and when he found that it was Ouyang Feng covering his mouth, he stopped struggling. But who wanted to "click", the heavy stone wall was pressed like a switch, and the wall behind him slowly collapsed.
This alarmed the people at the door, and a figure flew up at them.
Unexpectedly, the wall behind them generated a huge suction force, and the three of them were pulled in together.
Ning Yifei felt that the wall was changing its form under him, decreasing layer by layer, and they were sent downward.
Eventually, they fell into a circular tunnel.
The tunnel was covered with moss, slippery and sticky, and they slid down quickly, and Ning Yifei felt like he was spinning in a never-ending spiral staircase. I don't know how many times I turned around, until I was dizzy, and suddenly my eyes lit up, and they finally fell out of the tunnel.
The exit of the tunnel was very gentle, and when they fell out, they only rolled on the ground a few times before stopping. Ning Yifei wanted to stand up, but the sky spun around for a while, and he fell to the ground. He rubbed his eyes, and the things around him slowly appeared.
Chris was the first to stand up, rubbing the shoulder she had hit as she rolled down the tunnel, looking around and seeing that they had fallen in a strange place.
It was a round stone house with a dome, and Chris looked up and saw that there were eight tunnel exits under the dome, and they had fallen from one of them, and they were falling onto a muddy ground that was sloping, high on one side and low on the other, and there was some water at the bottom, just below the surface of his feet. There is a circle of lamps on the wall of the room, and the lampshade is actually made of glass, much like a kerosene lamp, which is very modern.
Ning Yifei saw clearly the person who fell with them at this time, he was wearing a dark brown shirt, and he was leaning over to pat the mud and sand off his body.
"Zhang Changbei?"
Zhang Changbei still had the same cold face, snorted without smiling, and looked up at the top of the round stone house, as if trying to figure out where he fell from.
Chris's eyes rolled, stared at Zhang Changbei coldly, and said, "He is not Zhang Changbei!"
"Isn't he Zhang Changbei?" Ning Yifei's eyes widened and he repeated.
It was obviously Zhang Changbei's face, although at the moment he was pale, pursed his thin lips, and glared at Chris fiercely. Immediately after, he suddenly opened his mouth to speak, and his tone was really cold: "What do you mean?"
"You have a snake on your face!" he was not afraid of his fierce gaze, and with the experience of the last time in the Emerald Palace, Chris said with great certainty.
Ning Yifei looked at Zhang Changbei suspiciously.
Zhang Changbei said coldly: "Why do you say that I wore a snake undress?"
Chris smiled and said, "Is that right?"
Looking at the other party's hesitant look, Chris suddenly asked, "Are you Yun Zhuqi?!"
When Ning Yifei heard this, he immediately became alert, and he hurriedly took a step towards Chris.
"Yun Zhuqi?" the other party frowned slightly, and said suspiciously.
With a movement in his heart, Chris thought to himself: Looking at this person's reaction, could it be that I guessed wrong?
After being silent for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, the man sighed, and he suddenly let out another voice, and said in a deep voice: "You see if I am Yun Zhuqi carefully." β
With that, he tore off the snake from his face with his fingers and undressed, revealing his true face.
It was a delicate face, fair skin, and thin pale lips, and it was a young man of the same age as Ning Yifei.
Chris stared at that faceβshe never dreamed she would meet him here and now. Isn't this young man the one who did it with Yue Yu'er in Daxiangguo Temple?
She looked at the young man, her eyes were like blades, her voice was cold, and she asked, "Did you hire Yun Zhuqi to kill Yue Yu'er?"
"What are you talking about?" the young man's voice became more sharp: "Who is Yue Yu'er? Before this, we had nothing to do with each other, we didn't know each other, I just didn't know what to say!"
Ning Yifei was also stunned by this question, and said in his heart: Although he brought the snake to undress, why did Brother Ouyang suddenly accuse the young man of being the person behind the harm to Yue Yu'er?
"You really don't know Yue'er?" sighed, Chris said, "Do you remember that a while ago, a girl stole your purse, and you also made a move in Daxiangguo Temple, and the Zhiyuan monk said that you ......" When the words came to his mouth, Chris finally remembered that Xiaofei was by his side, and quickly stopped his mouth.
When she mentioned this, the young man immediately remembered, but he faintly felt that something was wrong. He looked the man in front of him up and down, and thought: How did he know that he had never seen such a person in Daxiangguo Temple that day. But after thinking about it, I only remembered to recover the stolen purse at that time, and I didn't even notice that the big monk was in the corner.
Ever since he heard the great monk say that the girl had a fate with him, he was a little concerned, and he still had the dagger on his body. The young man's face was covered with an ambiguous red, but after thinking about it, he finally remembered the name, Yue Yu'er? That Yun Zhuqi took the contract of the Killer Alliance, isn't the person he wants to kill Yue Yu'er? He exclaimed: "It turns out that her name is Yue Yu'er!"
Ning Yifei was anxious when he heard this, and said angrily: "Just because she stole your purse, you want to harm Yueyu'er?"
Why was he accused for no reason, as if he had done something that everyone was angry with and intolerable, he said stupidly: "She stole my purse, but she also gave it back to me, how could I be resentful? Besides, our Underworld Palace is not as unbearable as you say, not only do we have our own rules, but we will not casually kill people for such a trivial matter." β
"Are you from the Underworld Palace?" Chris knew that the killers of the Underworld Palace were all martial arts masters and experts in killing, so he tried to soften his voice as much as possible, "Do you know that someone made a contract in the Killer Alliance to kill Yueyu'er?"
The young man nodded slightly and said, "However, I don't know that she is Yue Yu'er." β
Gritting his teeth, Ning Yifei couldn't help but ask himself: "Who is the one who wants to kill Yue'er?"
Chris had already realized that the person who hired someone to kill Yue Yu'er was indeed not the young man in front of her, she asked forward: "In Xia Ouyang Feng, his name is Ning Yifei, we are all friends of Yue Yu'er, may I ask your name?"
"Yin Chen!" For some reason, Yin Chen was also a little surprised that he easily reported his name. Maybe it's because this person named Ouyang Feng heard that he was a person from the Netherworld Palace, and he didn't change his attitude. Killers are extremely sensitive, not to mention the elites cultivated by the Underworld Palace since childhood, if there is even a slight change in the other party's emotions, they can detect it. And the person in front of him has no different color on his face as he does for ordinary people. After a pause, he said again, "To be honest, that Yun Zhuqi is not stupid, she naturally knows how much trouble she will cause if she provokes the beggar gang, and the Killer Alliance has withdrawn the contract, she should not continue to enforce it." β
Ning Yifei said stupidly: "Yue Yu'er has been used as a trophy by her and sent to this Shamen Island, we are here to save people!"
"What?" Yin Chen thought to himself: It turned out that they were members of the beggar gang, no wonder when he first arrived on the island, he felt that the guards around Qin Daguan were not ordinary, but he didn't expect this to be the case. He frowned, thinking about Yun Zhuqi, and muttered, "Yun Zhuqi is greedy for money, but she doesn't take every order, she has always been very cautious, it is impossible not to investigate Yue Yu'er as usual, I am very strange that she will take the risk of provoking the beggar gang and take this order." And send Yue'er to Salmon Island, is it the employer's request to do so?"
After thinking about it for a while, Chris asked Yin Chen, "How many snakes are undressed in Yun Zhuqi's hand?"
Yin Chen said: "Her martial arts are mediocre, but she is good at confusing people with her appearance, and unknowingly taking people's lives, she is used to these tricks, naturally there is more than one snake undressing!"
Indeed, as he said, the killer Ayun relied on ingenuity and cunning, Chris thought to himself.
Ning Yifei asked sadly: "Since her martial arts are mediocre, why can she be ranked sixth on the list of top ten killers?"
Chris said: "The order of the killer list is not ranked according to the strength of martial arts, but according to the number of tasks completed. Just now, Yin Chen also said that she is greedy for money, and she thinks that she has done a lot of business in the past two years, so she will be ranked sixth on the killer list, right?"
Although Chris seemed to be asking Yin Chen for confirmation, his tone was very determined.
Yin Chen couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, the outside world thought that the killer list of the Killer League was ranked according to the level of martial arts, and this ranking method was set by his father, how did Ouyang Feng know?
The Killer Alliance is not a sect, but just a loosely organized killer intermediary, which was originally composed of several killers gathered by the Underworld Palace, and the rules of the alliance were naturally set by the successive heads of the Underworld Palace. To be honest, who in this world can know so much information that others don't know like the Queen Mother.
"Yin Chen, I don't know why you went to the island this time?" asked Chris bluntly.
Yin Chen explained the real purpose of going to the island: "Actually, someone paid a lot of money to reward the head of a prisoner on Salmon Island, and the commission was enough to eat for a lifetime. However, the employer made another contract, and whether Xiao Suo succeeded or not, he would pay another equal commission to anyone who would go to the island to hunt down the prisoner, so I wanted to try my luck too. β
Chris nodded and said, "I see." β
Yin Chen now has a young face, but he is dressed as Zhang Changbei, but his handsome face looks particularly incongruous, Ning Yifei suddenly remembered his ridiculous appearance when he was an ugly girl, and couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Yin Chen asked softly.
Both of them are ordinary teenagers, and the misunderstanding has been explained clearly, Ning Yifei has never been a pretentious person, he said bluntly: "I'm not laughing at you, I just remembered that Brother Ouyang dressed me as a woman that day, and it was as strange as you." β
Hearing this, Yin Chen guessed in his heart: It seems that this Ouyang Feng is also a master of disguise. It's just that he really couldn't understand how he saw through the "snake undressing" he brought with the Underworld Palace, so he simply asked, "When did you find out that I wasn't Zhang Changbei?"
"This morning!"
Yin Chen frowned and said, "Have you seen Zhang Changbei before?"
Chris shook his head.
"Then how can you tell the difference?"
Chris thought to himself: the old man is incognito, and he must not want to divulge what has to do with him. So he excused himself: "In fact, no matter how clever the mask is, it can't cover people's eyes, although it is the first time I have seen Zhang Changbei, I always feel that the light shot out of those eyes is extremely sharp, with a penetrating force, penetrating people's hearts! Besides, Yun Zhuqi had pretended to be Xiao Fei before, so I raised my vigilance and deliberately observed you for a while, otherwise I wouldn't be able to tell the real from the fake!"
Yin Chen knew that he was hiding something in his words, but he was not annoyed, and said: "If my eldest brother knows that the snake undressing he made is useless in front of your eyes, he will not be reconciled!"
Chris smiled, suddenly remembered, and asked, "Why did you pretend to be Zhang Changbei, what about the real Zhang Changbei?"
Chris pretended to be concerned, as if to say: I shouldn't be killed by you!
"Because I'm afraid Xiao Suo will recognize me. Yin Chen said, "I remember that Zhang Changbei's name was on the list, although he was stingy, it was not difficult to send him, I went to him and told him that I wanted to go to the island with him, but he said that as long as I agreed to the conditions he offered, he would take me to the island." β
Ning Yifei asked curiously, "What conditions?"
"He wants me to take ten 'flying scorpions' from Scorpion Island, and then he has to go to Little Black Mountain Island to get twenty belly snake eggs!"
Zhang Changbei's wishful thinking is good, in the past, he can only go to Scorpion Island to get a few poisonous scorpions that are used for medicine, and if he can get snake eggs, he can make the "Nine Turns Prayer Pill". This young man who came to beg him seemed to have no low martial arts, and he didn't have to risk his money to get these two things, so why not. So Zhang Changbei took out a snake of his own appearance and undressed, and proposed to let Yin Chen pretend to be him. And he himself pretended to be an entourage, so that they went to the island together. Yin Chen was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Zhang Changbei to be the old patron of the Underworld Hunting Palace, and he had bought a snake to undress a long time ago.
Chris asked, "Why are you afraid to tell that person named Xiao Suo when you go to the island?"
Yin Chen shook his head and said, "We can be regarded as competitors this time, so naturally we have to avoid him." Moreover, the prisoner who was offered a bounty is an iron brand on the island, no one knows which island he hides on every year, and it is not easy to find him, so I pretend to be Zhang Changbei, who often goes to the island, maybe I can hide people's eyes and ears and find out the traces of this person!"
"Then how did you end up in this Blackstone Castle?"
"I heard that the Iron Plate will gather in the Black Rock Castle for a meeting tonight, and I saw that you all changed into your night clothes and followed the king into the Black Rock Castle! β
Chris nodded and said, "We have found some new information, saying that although Li Qing claimed that the treasures were hidden in the 'Black Mountain Fort' on Great Black Mountain Island, it was actually possible that he deliberately released smoke bombs, and Yue Yu'er may be hidden in this Black Stone Castle, so we decided to find out." It just so happened that Wang Shu was clamoring to visit the Black Mountain Fort, and he was pompous and attracted the attention of many guards, so it didn't take much effort for us to sneak in. Chris paused, "However, just now one of his subordinates found Xiaofei and chased after us!"
"He also discovered me, this person's martial arts are very high, even I almost caught his way!" Yin Chen paused, "This Lord Wang is really strange, there is such a number one person by his side, and half of his entourage is not good, their breath breathing skills are not like the martial arts used in the army." β
Chris held his chin and said, "This Wang Shu is quite interesting, I also think it is not so simple for him to go to the island." β
"Let's stop gossiping. Ning Yifei said worriedly: "Where is Yueyu'er, let's hurry up and find her!"
Chris said in his heart: There was a commotion in the dark just now, and they were separated from Hong Qi and Xiong Daiying, and I don't know where they are now?
Yin Chen looked at the stone chamber and said, "Now the first priority is to find out where we are in the Black Stone Castle?"
