"Come back!" Xiao Yunfan shouted loudly.
Huo Zhongyuan had already left, so how could he look back?
Xiao Yunfan was filled with anger and could not vent his anger, so he could only wave his fists and kick the iron door with his feet.
In the darkness, he only heard the muffled sound of fists hitting the iron door and his own helpless breathing.
He shuddered at the thought of suffocating to death in such a horrible place.
Maybe there is another exit from this dungeon, this idea kept coming to his mind.
When I think of this, my spirits are lifted. He stretched out his palms and kept tapping and groping in the darkness.
Except for the iron door, the surrounding walls are made of natural boulders, and the ground is not hollow stone bricks, which are equally solid and reliable.
Even though he has great martial arts skills and deep inner strength, he is helpless in the face of such desperate situations.
There was no daylight in the dungeon, it was dark, damp, and had a strong musty smell. Xiao Yunfan couldn't help but curse loudly. After scolding for a while, his mouth felt dry.
He thought to himself: Even if I greet all eighteen generations of Huo Laoer's ancestors, what's the use? It would be better to save your energy and find another way.
Fortunately, the quilt and mattress fell with him.
Otherwise, the prison will be cold and we will suffer losses again.
He took a breath of air and curled up in the corner wrapped in blankets like a dog.
I thought: It's really ridiculous that I ended up in such a situation just for a fish.
It’s absolutely ridiculous to think about it! Could it be that you owed a lot of money to a creditor in your previous life and are trying different ways to collect debt from me in this life?
When he thought of fish, an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought: This fish is probably a trap. There are so many people coming to Bashan, why did I catch it by chance?
After I caught the fish, the Chu couple and Xu Shou arrived almost immediately.
Their appearance was not accidental, it was as if someone had deliberately arranged it.
Then halfway along the way, the Chu couple were killed, and Xu Shou was missing. I just found out that they were killed, why did Yin Zhonghao come here?
Such a coincidence cannot be justified. Then I was misunderstood by the Bashan sect, so I had to go up the mountain to explain the whole story.
There will only be two results in this situation: either I will be killed when I go up the mountain and be killed unjustly by the Bashan sect; or I will escape by luck and be hunted down by the Bashan sect.
Either way, I'm dead.
Who is this Xu Shou, who has taken such great pains to plot against me?
After thinking for a long time, he felt dizzy, his eyelids gradually became heavy, and he fell asleep again inadvertently.
The dungeon was dark, without any light.
At first, what he could feel was the dirty air and unpleasant smell, but he gradually got used to it.
Instead, waves of anxiety and fear made him feel uneasy.
Later, he finally learned to tolerate and adapt to this darkness.
He knew he couldn't die yet and had to live well.
If a person has nothing to do, he will die of suffocation sooner or later.
Xiao Yunfan is very active and restless. When he is bored alone, he will often find something to do, so that the passage of time will be meaningful to him.
Although Huo Zhongyuan detained him here, he was provided with three meals a day on time.
The person who delivers the food brings the food in on a wooden tray through the hole under the iron door every time without saying a word.
Xiao Yunfan could tell that Huo Zhongyuan did not intend to kill him immediately, and the Bashan faction would only torture him slowly.
The majestic jade lion was locked in a cage. He did not die of thirst or starvation. Instead, he became decadent to death. Just thinking about it makes him feel useless.
Although there are many bad things about this dungeon, there is only one good thing that is satisfying. That is quiet, no one disturbs.
After staying here, ignoring the day, and having enough wine and food, Xiao Yunfan wanted to make himself less decadent, so he practiced his own internal skills.
Since I was admitted by my master when I was seven years old, I have to practice for three hours every day without interruption.
Over the years, he has achieved extraordinary attainments in swordsmanship, boxing, Qinggong, and internal strength.
Although his achievements are not as brilliant as those of his master Xie Tianya, he is still quite impressive among his peers.
Langjianmen's martial arts can only reach a new level after practicing for five years. And he was thirty years old, in his prime.
The Purple Jade Skill of our sect has been cultivated to the fifth level, and the attainments in Bihaiqingtian Sword Technique are close to the level of the first-class masters in the world.
The way of martial arts is vast and boundless. Whether a person can reach the peak in his lifetime depends not only on hard work but also on chance.
Apart from eating, sleeping and having diarrhea every day, he also practices martial arts. Don't think too much about other things.
When people are in darkness, they often pay special attention to the ray of light.
In the past few days, when he saw the food delivery person coming, a little light would appear in the cavity under the iron door.
He used this to practice his eyesight so that his eyes could adapt. In this darkness, his eyesight not only did not deteriorate, but became sharper than before.
To him, it seemed like he had been in this dungeon for a long time, but in fact it was only five days. That day, after he finished practicing Qing Gong, he sat cross-legged on the ground and thought wildly.
How long will this Bashan sect keep me in prison? This Mr. Huo can be considered a master of the sect after all, and he is not so careless in doing things.
In addition, they dare not harm me. Is it because they are afraid of my master?
If I want to let them know that Master is no longer alive, he might have killed me long ago.
The Chu Ji family has no child, and the murderer is nowhere to be found, so naturally he wants to vent his anger on me. Yin Zhonghao is an upright person, I wonder if he will speak for me.
While he was thinking, a face appeared in the small window above the iron door. Under the pale light, this face looked eerie and terrifying.
Xiao Yunfan saw that ray of light, stretched out his hand to cover his eyes and looked slowly, and finally he saw the person clearly.
He smiled and said, "It seems that Master Huo has finally figured it out and wants to leave?"
Huo Zhongyuan said calmly: "That's right! I have invited many martial arts comrades to come to preside over this matter, and I hope that I can give you justice!"
Xiao Yunfan said: "It's a pity that I live comfortably here and don't plan to leave."
Huo Zhongyuan's face changed slightly and he said angrily: "You...you dare?"
Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "My legs are long on my body. If I don't leave, even if the king of heaven comes to invite me with an eight-carriage sedan chair, I will never move an inch."
You were the one who said I was locked up, and now you are the one who said I would be released. Do you really think that I, Xiao Yunfan, is easy to bully? "
Huo Zhongyuan knew in his heart that if he didn't invite Xiao Yunfan out in a smooth manner, his play would not be able to continue. The purpose of inviting so many martial arts comrades in one breath is to let everyone know that the Bashan Sect is fair in dealing with things and shows no favoritism.
Now Xiao Yunfan is actually having a childish temper. If he can't be invited, it will naturally delay the big event.
Huo Zhongyuan knew full well that by detaining him here, this kid must be feeling resentful. How could he not be aware of the ways of the world if he could reach the top position of being the leader of a sect?
You, the jade lion, don't have a bad temper. I humiliate you and care for you, so that you can be submissive and obedient.
He opened the cell door and walked slowly down the stone steps. Holding a lantern in one hand, he said with a smile on his face: "Brother Xiao, Huo has said something before. It is really helpless to lock you here. I hope Hai will forgive the offense." He bowed and bowed.
Xiao Yunfan saw that he apologized as the leader of the sect, and most of his anger disappeared. Zi Zi did not refute his face, and sighed: "That's all, since Master Huo condescended to invite me, Xiao is not someone who doesn't appreciate praise."
Huo Zhongyuan saw that he was reasonable and said with a smile: "Brother, I will lead the way, so please follow me!"
Xiao Yunfan followed him and suddenly stretched out his fingers to tap on his vest. Not only is this finger extremely accurate in identifying acupoints, but its finger strength is also extraordinary. In addition, Huo Zhongyuan didn't take precautions, so he succeeded easily.
After sealing one of his acupuncture points, Xiao Yunfan was naturally worried. He clicked seven or eight fingers in one breath before walking up to him. Huo Zhongyuan was shocked and stared at him with wide eyes.
Xiao Yunfan snatched the lantern from his hand and hung a bunch of keys on his waist.
He said with a smile: "Old man Huo, you have made me suffer a lot, let's reciprocate!"
With that said, he inserted the lantern into the gap in the wall, reached out and peeled off Huo Zhongyuan's coat and put it on himself.
He was moved down like a wooden statue, placed in the corner, and wrapped tightly in a quilt.
He picked up the lantern and walked out of the iron gate. Go up the stone steps, walk through a long and narrow corridor, turn a corner, and open a stone door.
The stone door turned over and unexpectedly arrived at Huo Zhongyuan's study.
At the beginning of Xu Shi, the lights were brightly lit in the Bashan Sect's main hall. There were fifteen brocade stools on the east and west sides, and the heroes who came to attend the appointment arrived one after another.
Yin Zhonghao saw that all the guests had arrived but the master did not come, so he hurriedly ordered his disciples to invite them. At this time, Xiao Yunfan rested his head on the back of the chair with his hands on his head and rested his feet on the shore, soundly sleeping.
A disciple outside the door said: "Report to the master, all the guests have arrived. Master sent a disciple to ask you to take charge of the overall situation." After the disciple finished speaking, seeing no one in the door answered, he said three more times.
Xiao Yunfan woke up from his dream and stretched himself.
Then he went to the window and looked out through the crack in the door. There were four people in total.
The leading disciple was about to knock on the door when Xiao Yunfan lowered his voice and said, "Go and ask your master to come and tell me that I have something important to discuss. Let him arrange the guests first and then come see me."
The disciple did not have any doubts after accepting the order and left in a hurry. Xiao Yunfan leaned against the door panel, breathed a long sigh of relief, then stretched out his right hand, touched his chin and said to himself:
No matter how you say it, Huo Zhongyuan is still the leader of a faction. If I humiliate him, there is no guarantee that he will not harbor revenge.
Now everyone on Bashan Mountain belongs to him. Letting him go would be asking for trouble. Wouldn't that just fall into the trap of Xu Shou? It's his grandma's. When I think of this turtle egg, I feel uncomfortable all over. Sooner or later he will be dug out and cut into pieces!
Turning back to the front desk, I saw a lot of replies piled on the table. Under a Pixiu paperweight was a guest list that had already been drawn up.
These people invited have mediocre reputations in the world. Some of them had never even heard of Xiao Yunfan, knowing that these people invited by the Bashan Sect naturally spoke to the Bashan Sect. Xiao Yunfan crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it on the ground.
After a while, Yin Zhonghao hurried to the door of the study.
He secretly wondered: In the morning, his senior brother personally gave instructions that at three o'clock in the morning, heroes from all walks of life would be invited to discuss matters in the main hall. All the guests have arrived, but he hides away from anyone. Why is it so unpredictable?
Xiao Yunfan heard footsteps outside the house and lowered his voice: "Come in!"
Yin Zhonghao walked into the house and closed the door. Then he bowed to Xiao Yunfan and saluted. Xiao Yunfan had his back turned to him. When he stood up straight, he was startled when he saw the man in front of him with black hair. He pointed at Xiao Yunfan and shouted: "Who are you?"
Xiao Yunfan reached out and patted the armrest of the chair, turned around, still folding his hands behind his head, and resting his feet leisurely on the shore.
He smiled and said: "Brother Yin, there is no need to panic."
Yin Zhonghao's face was ashen and he said in surprise: "You...why are you here?"
Xiao Yunfan said: "This starts with Master Huo's visit to me." Then he told everything about how to escape from the cell.
After hearing this, Yin Zhonghao frowned and said: "Brother Xiao, you are just fooling around. Please release the leader quickly. All the heroes are waiting!"
Xiao Yunfan said with a straight face, "If you want to wait, it's your business, what does it have to do with me?"
Yin Zhonghao looked unhappy and snorted coldly: "Don't you want to prove your innocence?"
Xiao Yunfan said: "Of course I think that Master Huo invited many martial arts colleagues in one breath, right?"
Yin Zhonghao was startled and said: "So what, you are not afraid of slanting shadows if you are upright. Since the matter was not done by Master Xiao, then why should Master Xiao be afraid?"
Xiao Yunfan stood up suddenly, clasped his hands on his chest and shook his head: "If I was really scared, why would I go up the mountain with you?
The people here are friends of your Bashan sect, not mine.
Even if there is justice in this world, I'm afraid it will be difficult to tell clearly in the end. "
Yin Zhonghao pondered: "According to your wishes, do you also want to hire a notary?"
Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "That's right. But I have to do this for Brother Yin."
Yin Zhonghao knew full well that the life and death of the leader now rested in Xiao Yunfan's hands.
If he doesn't do what he says, the leader may be in danger of his life.
He looked at Xiao Yunfan's face and said calmly: "Okay, I wonder which notaries Mr. Xiao wants to invite?"
Xiao Yunfan said: "Not many, just invite one person, Chunqiu Louzhu."
Yin Zhonghao said: "This... I'm afraid this won't be easy to handle. I heard that this old gentleman rarely walks around in the world in recent years, and almost refuses guests behind closed doors. I'm afraid it won't be easy to invite him!"
Xiao Yunfan said: "You are holding my black sheath sword and there are three words. When the old man sees it, he will definitely come to support you."
As he spoke, he picked up a brush and wrote three big characters on the paper. Then slowly pick it up and dry the ink on the paper and lay it flat on the shore.
Yin Zhonghao walked to the shore and picked up the long sword on the table, then carefully folded the paper and put it into his pocket.
Xiao Yunfan looked at Yin Zhonghao, stood up, put his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Yin, thank you for your work."
Yin Zhonghao turned around and said, "Brother Xiao, you are really capable."
Xiao Yunfan said: "Thank you. Brother, before I leave, I have a few words to say to you. Before you come back, no one else is allowed to disturb me.
The food and wine delivered every day must be doubled. If you have other ideas, I will have no choice but to feel sorry for Mr. Huo. "
All the guests in the hall have arrived, but Huo Zhongyuan has not arrived yet, so everyone is whispering. Just as Yin Zhonghao stepped through the door of the side hall, Chu Zhongliu stopped him and asked: "Lao Wu, where did senior brother sing this song?"
Yin Zhonghao waved his hand to dismiss the disciples outside the door, and whispered in his ear: "Second brother, something serious has happened. The senior brother asked the man named Xiao to make a move, and now it is in the hands of the man named Xiao."
Chu Zhongliu's face darkened and he complained: "You bastard, I told you to have Senior Brother hand over this thief to me and Lao San. Let us use his blood to sacrifice Zhou'er Yun'er's spirit in heaven.
But the eldest brother is so benevolent as a woman that he insists on inviting these martial arts comrades. This time it would be better to leave yourself in Xiao Yunfan's hands. "
Ji Zhongming was a meticulous person and asked: "Lao Wu, since Xiao Yunfan is threatening the leader, he won't want to take the opportunity to escape, right?"
