Chapter 42 Trapped in the Labyrinth
Yang Zhan came to the back of the building, and was about to push the door, but he heard someone in the house calling him in. Yang Zhan didn't think much about it www.biquge.info so he went straight in. But as soon as he stepped into the house, the door behind him closed tightly.
Inside the room was an empty hall, and above the hall, a woman in purple with a dark moon ring mask was sitting upright. Seeing Yang Zhan coming in, she asked lightly, "But you broke in to find me?"
The voice was peaceful and solemn, and when I listened carefully, I vaguely felt that the woman in purple was a middle-aged woman.
"Yes, I came to find Yuan Zimo, the palace master of Xiaoyao Palace. Yang Zhan replied.
"A junior actually calls his predecessor by his name, isn't it too unruly?" Yuan Zimo stared at Yang Zhan and asked.
Yang Zhan could hear that she was a little old, and he also felt that he was a little rude, but when he thought about what the short cook said about her bad deeds, he became open-minded again.
"People who have done all the bad things, why should I treat each other politely?" Yang Zhan said confidently.
"How can I do all the bad things in Xiaoyao Palace?" Yuan Zimo asked with a sneer.
"Knowingly asked. Isn't it a bad thing that you instructed many inns and stores in Biansai to do murder and overselling, and coerced them to obey the command of Xiaoyao Palace in everything?" Yang Zhan said.
"Boy, are you joking?" asked Yuan Zimo intently.
"What I said is the truth, why should you deny it? The quicksand inn in Quicksand Town was instructed by you, and now they dare not stop because they are completely threatened by you. Yang Zhan said solemnly.
"Quicksand Inn, I'll definitely visit another day. Yuan Zimo said coldly.
"Are you still planning to settle accounts with them after the autumn?" Yang Zhan said angrily.
"The quicksand inn has wronged me in the Xiaoyao Palace, how can I let them go?" Yuan Zimo replied calmly.
"I'm afraid you don't have this chance. I'm here today to remove your control over the thirty or so inns outside the Saiwai. Yang Zhan said confidently.
"Boy, you'd better think about your situation first. Yuan Zimo said coldly, then stretched out a hand, and in an instant, a golden wire shot at Yang Zhan.
After Yang Zhan dodged the golden wire, he wanted to make a move, but unexpectedly, the golden wire swept over in the air. Yang Zhan then split out a palm wind to meet him, but this golden wire was extremely slender, and it was completely unaffected by the power of the palm wind, but moved forward.
Yang Zhan hurriedly leaned over to avoid it, but the golden wire moved like a whip in Yuan Zimo's hands, pumping or beating, thorning and entangled, all in an instant, which could be described as pressing each other step by step. I saw that where the gold wire passed, whenever it touched the tables and chairs, it left deep marks. If you are an ordinary person, even if you just take a beating, I am afraid that you will inevitably suffer from the skin and flesh.
A golden wire can play with such power, and Yang Zhan is secretly amazed in his heart.
After such a few back and forth, Yang Zhan really couldn't help this golden thread, so he took out the ghost eye crazy knife. I saw Yang Zhan swing the knife and tease, and the golden silk was wrapped around the ghost eye crazy knife a few times, and it could no longer be used. In the hall, a piece of gold wire was horizontally in the hands of the two people, although they were secretly competing, but no one could help anyone. Together, this scene looks like a tug-of-war.
"Ghost Eyes Crazy Knife? It turned out to be the descendant of the Crazy Knife Ancestor, no wonder he was skilled. Yuan Zimo looked at Yang Zhan and said in surprise.
"Haha, count on your eyesight. I, Yang Zhan, have always been reluctant to fight women, and if you promise to remove more than 30 black shops in Biansai, and never pursue those shops again, I will not blame the past. Yang Zhan said proudly.
"The Crazy Knife Ancestor is a heroic predecessor that is rare to see in a hundred years, and he really fights for Mobei Martial Arts. It's a pity that his old man has no eyes, and he actually accepted such a stupid apprentice. Yuan Zimo said contemptuously.
"Am I stupid, how am I stupid?" Yang Zhan said angrily.
Yuan Zimo exerted his fingertips and removed the golden wire in his hand, and then said slowly: "I have always lived in seclusion in the world, and I have never disdained worldly things for hundreds of years, how can I instruct others to open a black shop?"
Yang Zhan didn't think so, and was about to argue, but Yuan Zimo asked coldly: "Although Xiaoyao Palace lives in the mountains, it is still worry-free, and it is worth working hard to earn some useless silver taels?"
Yang Zhan was silent, maybe what Yuan Zimo said was right, because in this Cold Dragon Ridge, even if he has a lot of money, he is afraid that there is no place available within a hundred miles.
But Yuan Zimo still didn't give up, and continued: "Besides, with the martial arts and power of my Xiaoyao Palace, it is really easy to get some money, why choose a profession that will insult the reputation of my Xiaoyao Palace?"
Yang Zhan was speechless for a moment, and after thinking about it, he realized that everything that the dwarf cook said was false. The reason why he said this was purely to support himself, so that the inn could continue to do its old business. Thinking of this, Yang Zhan couldn't help but feel very embarrassed, so he could only put away the ghost eye mad knife with a red face, and then lowered his head slightly.
Seeing Yang Zhan's embarrassment, Yuan Zimo said proudly: "So you are extremely stupid. ”
Yang Zhan was ashamed, remembering that he had slandered Xiaoyao Palace all the way before, which was really wrong, and now he was insulted by others, which was also a matter of course.
"Yang Zhan was reckless for a while, and misunderstood the Xiaoyao Palace, so please forgive the Yuan Palace Master. Yang Zhan said guiltily.
"Haha, it's okay to forgive me?" Yuan Zimo said disdainfully.
Yang Zhan could only bow his head and remain silent, he was at fault first, and even if he was punished, he had nothing to say.
"I'm going to kill you today. Yuan Zimo said resolutely.
"Palace Master Yuan, although Yang Zhan is at fault, he will not die after all. Yang Zhan said in surprise.
"Sin is not death? trespassing in the palace is a capital crime. Yuan Zimo said coldly.
"Isn't it ridiculous to have to die if you come to the Xiaoyao Palace?" Yang Zhan said disapprerovingly.
"Is it ridiculous or not, is it up to you to have the final say?" Yuan Zimo said angrily.
I saw Yuan Zimo slap the table, and the curtain behind him suddenly turned out a row of five-colored threads and spun it. Yuan Zimo stroked his hand, and one of the black thread spinning turned around, and in an instant, a thin black thread was exported from the yarn spinning, and then shot straight towards Yang Zhan. Yang Zhan had seen the power of the golden wire, so he naturally didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, but took out the ghost eye crazy knife left and right. But seeing Yuan Zimo plucking the string back and forth, the black line suddenly changed in a thousand ways, sometimes like an arrow off the string, sometimes it swam in the air, the coil did not stop, and the black line did not stop.
Yang Zhan immediately took advantage of Lingyundu, and after a high block and low connection, he also coped with it calmly.
But Yuan Zimo then spun the threads of the other four colors, and like the black thread, the blue, red, cyan, and purple silk threads also spun out, and shot straight towards Yang Zhan in unison. The hall suddenly flew in five colors, like a rainbow after a rain.
Yang Zhan shouted that it was not good, and swung several bursts of blades in succession. But these five-colored thin threads are delicate after all, and as soon as the blade arrives, it softens, just enough to dissolve all the strength. It's just that as soon as the thin line is soft, it loses its power, giving Yang Zhan a chance to take a gap. Yang Zhan then took the opportunity to dodge over, wanting to give Yuan Zimo a surprise counterattack. But Yuan Zimo sent his five fingers together, and instantly plucked the strings rapidly, and the five threads that were originally soft suddenly became strong again.
There are still many changes in one thread, and now five threads are in unison, and they are even more changeable. Yang Zhan had to stop and continue to deal with it, but as the spinning became more and more urgent, the offensive of the five-color thread became faster and faster, and in the end it began to intertwine back and forth. The five threads shuttled back and forth, and suddenly woven the air over the hall impermeable, and Yang Zhan, who was trapped in the middle, could not advance or retreat, although he was in danger repeatedly, but there was no way to crack it. On the other hand, Yuan Zimo, while moving the strings of the clouds and water, while admiring the battle of the trapped beasts in the array, was complacent. If it weren't for the fact that there was a person trapped on the other side, Yuan Zimo would probably be mistaken for playing the strings.
Yang Zhan was tired of dealing with this five-color line array, and he was already bored, so he simply came to fight each other, and then used the move of the Demon Breaking Sword Method to attack Yuan Zimo.
It's also strange to say that the moves and footwork of this Demon Breaking Knife Technique can just avoid the edge of the thread in a fraction of a minute, and by the time Yang Zhan played the fourth Demon Breaking Knife Technique, the person had already invaded in front of Yuan Zimo.
Yuan Zimo frowned, took two steps back one after another, and then urged the five threads to rotate left and right at the same time with both hands, and the previous five threads suddenly intertwined more rapidly. In an instant, the five-colored lines had already formed a net over the hall, and by the time Yang Zhan reacted, the large net woven by the five-colored threads had already overturned.
Yuan Zimo hurriedly grabbed the five strings and pumped hard, and Yang Zhan was tightly bound in the net and couldn't move.
Seeing that Yang Zhan was still tearing the five-color thread net, Yuan Zimo smiled coldly and said: "This five-color thread is made of thousand-year-old teng vine silk, which is extremely flexible, and you can't tear it." ”
"Unexpectedly, I, Yang Zhan, were finally trapped by a net woven by this woman. Yang Zhan said disappointedly.
"Boy, if you had used the Demon Breaking Sword Technique earlier, you might have been able to break my five-line Heaven and Earth Net Array. It's a pity that you are inexperienced after all and lose your last chance. Yuan Zimo said proudly.
"If you lose, you lose, and I, Yang Zhan, admit it. Yang Zhan sighed, and then stopped tearing.
"Boy, if you're a bit arrogant, then I won't kill you. Yuan Zimo looked at Yang Zhan and said.
Yang Zhan didn't speak, but closed his eyes, looking resigned to fate.
"Why don't you ask me what I'll do with you next?" Yuan Zimo asked curiously.
"Anyway, you won't let me go easily, why bother asking?" Yang Zhan said lightly.
"Haha, you're smart this time. Yes, although I will not kill you, I will imprison you in the palace until you die of old age. Yuan Zimo said with interest.
"Huh, you're going to imprison me here for the rest of your life?" Yang Zhan suddenly asked in surprise.
"Hehe, now you regret coming to Xiaoyao Palace, right?" Yuan Zimo asked proudly.
Yang Zhan was very melancholy, he still had so many important things to do, and so many people were waiting for him, how could he end up like this?
"Although I, Yang Zhan, were defeated by you today, I already know the secret of breaking your five-line heaven and earth net array. If you don't kill me today, he'll only fear that you won't be able to trap me anymore. At that time, I will be able to get out of this palace. Yang Zhan said firmly.
Yuan Zimo smiled disappreciatively and said, "In terms of martial arts, you are indeed unmatched. But there are places where martial arts are useless. ”
Yang Zhan looked at Yuan Zimo in surprise, wondering where she was going to imprison herself.
At this moment, the door of the hall opened, and a woman with a silver moon ring mask walked in. I saw that her skin was like clotted fat, her white clothes were light, and under her steps, she was like a fairy descending.
The woman in white glanced at the traces of the fight in the house, and then at Yang Zhan in the net, and then said slowly: "Mother is fine, right?"
"The ruler is here, my mother is fine. Yuan Zimo then said lightly.
It turned out that the woman in white was named Yan Qisu, the daughter of Yuan Zimo, and the young palace master of Xiaoyao Palace.
"What is the mother going to do with this person?" Yan Qisu asked lightly.
"I was going to kill him, but when I saw that he still had some backbone, I had to imprison him in the labyrinth. Yuan Zimo said.
"If you are imprisoned in a labyrinth, you will be trapped in it for the rest of your life. Yan Qisu said shallowly.
"I just want to keep him trapped in a labyrinth for the rest of his life to make an example. Yuan Zimo said proudly.
"But he didn't hurt anyone after all, why didn't my mother let him go?" Yan Qisu said after glancing at Yang Zhan.
"Ruler, don't be soft-hearted. If he is allowed to leave today, more thieves will come up and make trouble tomorrow. Yuan Zimo said earnestly.
Yan Qisu had no choice but to stop talking.
"Thank you for your kindness. If this labyrinth really can't trap me, after I go out, I will definitely keep silent about the matter of the Xiaoyao Palace and not mention it to anyone. Yang Zhan said frankly.
Yan Qisu then nodded lightly at Yang Zhan.
Not long after, Yuan Zimo ordered someone to carry Yang Zhan who was tied to the net to a mountain, and the woman in Tsing Yi stepped forward to turn on the machine, and a heavy stone door suddenly opened on the cliff wall, and a large stone room appeared in front of her. Yang Zhan was escorted into the stone room by everyone, but he saw that there were many stone walls crisscrossed inside, and only a three-foot-wide passage could accommodate people. The further you go inside, the more continuous the stone walls become, and the road twists and turns, almost three or five steps before you turn a corner. It wasn't until after a stick of incense that Yang Zhan was escorted to the edge of a waterhole. After letting go of Yang Zhan, everyone left in a hurry and disappeared from view in an instant.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Yang Zhan was disappointed, and after several explorations, he only felt that he was going around in circles, and only by listening to the sound of the water dripping from the milky stone falling into the pool, Yang Zhan reluctantly returned to the pool. At this point, Yang Zhan completely understood why Yuan Zimo was so confident in imprisoning him.
"I didn't expect that I, Yang Zhan, would be lonely here. Yang Zhan couldn't help but sigh sadly.
Knowing the preciousness of freedom after losing freedom, Yang Zhan recalled the previous scene when he and Murong Yunzhen went all the way to the desert, and he really felt that the aftertaste was endless. And when his thoughts turned, when he thought of his master's entrustment, his own life experience, and the snow shadow of the Netherworld Valley, Yang Zhan couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"No, I must not be trapped here, I must get out. Yang Zhan said anxiously in his heart.
