Hu Buwei quickly bowed and saluted: "Hao Congfeng, I was indeed ordered by the Lord of the fort to guard outside the fort, but the general sent an order to my three brothers to come and change the defense, so... "
Before Hu Buwei could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hao Gongfeng. He was too lazy to listen to what the guards said. He just wanted to catch the intruder quickly and asked eagerly: "Who did you see just now?" Or hear something moving..."
Hu Buwei quickly raised his hands and said: "As for the return of the offering, I have been back to Meiyue Garden for a while, and I haven't seen any outsiders... Ah, by the way..."
"What's on your mind? Tell me quickly." Normally, Hao Gongfeng would have turned around and left so he wouldn't waste so much time listening to Hu Buwei's ramblings. Now he was delighted to hear that Hu Buwei seemed to have thought of something. Ruo Kuang, as if the credit was already at his fingertips, he quickly asked.
I saw Hu Buwei pointing to the north outside the garden and saying: "When I returned just now, I accidentally saw a white figure going north. I was still muttering that it was so late and there were still people messing around. run..."
Before he finished speaking, Hu Buwei heard the sound of clothes ringing in his ears. Hao Gongfeng led the remaining four people and used Qinggong in the direction of Hu Buwei's finger. . .
After a while, their figures were no longer visible. The door of the wing behind Hu Buwei slowly opened, and the two people carrying baggage walked out. Behind them was the pretty and cold-faced Jiang Ningxue.
"Miss Jiang, if you and Mu Shaoxia just returned from the mountain, how could you be hunted down by these He family worshipers?" Hu Buwei lowered his voice and asked Jiang Ningxue.
Before Jiang Ningxue had time to answer, Ren Buonan seemed to have remembered something and said first, "Could it be that the noise in the Hejia Fort just now was Miss Jiang... Where is Mu Shaoxia, why can't you see him?"
Although the three brothers He Bufan had just helped him out of trouble at the critical moment, Jiang Ningxue was unwilling to tell these three people about Mu Yi's whereabouts. With a thought, she looked at the burdens on the shoulders of He Bufan and Ren Bunan. Changing the topic: "What are you..."
He Bufan knew that he could not hide it from Jiang Ningxue, so he simply told the truth and said: "My three brothers are wanderers in the world. They originally wanted to find a wealthy and wealthy family to live in peace, but this Hejiabao... I three Even though my martial arts skills are low, I don’t want to be controlled by others, so..."
After seven minutes of speaking, He Bufan stopped talking. Jiang Ningxue also understood the meaning behind He Bufan's words, nodded slightly and said, "That's it, I still have to thank you for saving me."
He Bufan smiled and said: "My three brothers admire the girl and Mu Shaoxia as people, and Mu Shaoxia not only saved my second brother in the back of the He family, but also had a life-saving relationship with my brother. Such a convenient task, Don’t take it to heart, girl.”
After finishing speaking, He Bufan thought for a moment and continued: "This time my three brothers left Hejiapu, hoping to take advantage of the night to say goodbye to Mu Shaoxia... But seeing the girl being pursued by these He family worshippers , I wonder if the girl can tell the truth, my three brothers also want to contribute to Mu Shaoxia."
Seeing Jiang Ningxue's slight hesitation, Ren Buitan on the side took over the words. With a rare sincere look in his thieves' eyes, he said sincerely: "Yes, Miss Jiang, in the back mountain, Young Master Mu and I are Xia also counts... Fighting side by side, although I am usually afraid of death, but if my friends and brothers are in trouble, I will not stand idly by and watch. If there is anything that needs help, just ask."
Although Hu Buwei did not speak, his eyes showed firmness, not only for Mu Shaoxia and Miss Jiang, but also for his two brothers.
Jiang Ningxue saw that the expressions of the three brothers did not seem to be hypocritical. As Ren Buyan said, everyone had shared weal and woe during the trip to the back mountain. If the three brothers wanted to capture her and Mu Yixian to perform meritorious service with He Kui, there was no need to do so just now. He deceived Hao Chongfang and several others. . . Mu Yiye visited the old site of Feng's house. He didn't know what the situation was, but now there were many helpers.
Having made up her mind, Jiang Ningxue told the three He Bufan brothers the whole story. After saying this, Ren Bunan opened his mouth wide with disbelief on his face.
Although the theory of ghosts and gods has been around since ancient times, the idea of a body being taken over by a remnant soul is too unconventional to be believed. However, when Jiang Ningxue mentioned the Immortal in the Mist, Ren Bunan was reminded of the Eight Formations of the Stone Gate. The figure was sucked away by the corpse puppet, but it was still in the human world, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
He Bufan was calm and said: "So, it seems that my second brother and I helped Mu Shaoxia by leaving the old place. Miss Jiang, I don't know who the Immortal in the Mist you mentioned just now is. However, when my second brother and I quietly sneaked back to Meiyue Garden, we heard shouting in the castle, it seems that the Immortal in the Mist was captured."
Only then did Jiang Ningxue remember that when she was evading pursuit, she heard shouts coming from the fort and asked, "Has the Immortal in the Mist been captured?"
He Bufan said: "Yes, not only that, my two brothers have already left without permission. If Lord He and others return now and find that my two brothers have left their post without permission, by then, I am afraid that we will not be able to move freely in the castle." If we want to help Young Master Mu, what we have to do now is to rush back to the old location to respond before Master He."
Jiang Ningxue said: "Brother He said that the Immortal in the Mist has been captured, and we still need to try to rescue him from He Kui."
Ren Bunan was one of the few people who knew the inside story of what was going on in the back mountain. He didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs, and he didn't have a good impression of the Immortal in the Mist. He said bluntly: "Since we are here to help Mu Shaoxia, who cares about him?" Lao Shizi, Immortal in the Mist, let’s just take care of Mu Shaoxia and Miss Feng.”
Jiang Ningxue was about to speak, but she heard He Bufan take over the words: "Second brother, since it is what Mu Shaoxia and Miss Jiang want, let's just do it. Let's do it. Second brother and third brother, you two take advantage of Hejiabao's Since no one has noticed that we are leaving without authorization, let’s go and investigate first to see where the Fairy Gate in the Mist is. After we find out... let’s set a place to meet, Miss Jiang, what do you want?”
Jiang Ningxue thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's fine, but the few priests chasing me have seen you and me before. If we act separately, we need to be careful."
Ren BuNan changed his eyes and had an idea, and said: "Those who were chasing Miss Jiang just now met the third brother in Meiyue Garden. We can't stay in Meiyue Garden any longer. How about this? Let’s set the meeting place outside Hua Chao Garden. Even if the matter is exposed, they will never think that we dare to meet in Hua Chao Garden for a while.”
Jiang Ningxue and others also agreed. Now that they had fulfilled the provincial regulations, they immediately left separately. . .
——
Gu Xiao looked at the scene in front of him and felt it was even more terrifying than when he first saw Miss Feng. If Miss Feng's hand tendons and hamstrings were severed, which made Gu Xiao feel that the method was cruel, then the current Chongyang Pen can only be used as a horrible thing. describe.
Gu Xiao has never seen hell, but the scene in front of him is like being in hell. Chongyang pen, the body and limbs have been cut off by sharp blades, and only the body is left, which is placed in the medicine jar. If he is not a martial arts practitioner, ordinary people After receiving such punishment, I am afraid that he would have died long ago. It is a miracle that this Double Ninth Festival pen is still alive.
Gu Xiao turned his head and glanced at Tian Sanqi who was standing aside. The gilded priest was so frightened that he stepped back and said, "Young Master Mu, this... this is not... what I did."
"He Kui did it too?" Although he didn't know how the Chongyang Pen offended He Kui, this kind of punishment was too cruel. Gu Xiao looked away and asked Tian Sanqi.
Maybe he felt someone approaching, and the Chongyang pen in the altar raised its head slightly. It was dark in the secret room, and Gu Xiao could see clearly that the Chongyang pen had not only had its limbs cut off, but its eyes had also been blinded. There were blood stains next to the ears and blood stains on the corners of the lips. . .
Although Gu Xiao did not have a close relationship with Chongyang Bi, such cruel things made Gu Xiao angry. What's more, with Chongyang Bi looking like this, how could he tell him where Murong Gu was.
In a rage, Gu Xiao drew out Broken Moon, pointed the sword at Tian Sanqi's throat and said, "Tell me, what does he know that made He Kui do such a cruel thing..."
Tian Sanqi collapsed on the ground and begged for mercy: "Young Master Mingjian, Master He seems to be doing... what... Kung Fu, I was just... ordered to torture that girl... as for... He...for what reason, I really don’t know..."
Gu Xiao held Broken Moon tightly, looking at Tian Sanqi who was begging for mercy in front of him, and thought in his heart: "Miss Feng and Brother Jin are injured, and I can't lift them out at once. Let's save this person's life for the time being." Say it again."
Withdrawing his long sword, Gu Xiao looked back and leaned over the altar with the Chongyang pen, and said softly: "Mr. Chongyang, can you tell me how to get to Murong Valley..."
After asking several questions, he saw that the Chongyang pen had no response and just raised his head. Gu Xiao couldn't bear to look at the wounds on his face. But thinking of Lin'er and Uncle Li, Gu Xiao had to continue asking, but before Gu Xiao could Xiao opened his mouth, and the trembling sound of Tian Sanqi behind him reached his ears.
"Mu...Young hero, he...Mr. Chongyang, was tortured as a human pig. Not only his limbs were cut off, but he was also blinded, his deaf ears were poked, and his tongue was pulled out... "Xu knew that the young man was angry, Tian Sanqi's voice was as loud as a mosquito at the end of his words, for fear of offending the young man in front of him.
Gu Xiao had never heard of this type of torture, and was stunned for a moment. Not only was it the tragic situation of Chongyang Bi, but also the method of entering Murong Valley. After Chongyang Bi was tortured by this human being, he could no longer tell himself. . .
Gu Xiao clenched his fist and hammered at the wall of the secret passage. In anger, he hammered a hole in the green brick wall. After a moment, he sighed slightly and stood up abruptly.
"It seems that we need to think of other ways to find the Murong Valley. It has been a long time since I broke into this old site. It is still important to save people right now. Let's take Miss Feng and Jin Buyi away from this place first, and then think about it later. other."
Looking back at the Chongyang pen, the young man could not bear it. He turned the green edge in his hand, put the sword blade against the throat of the Chongyang pen in the altar, and said softly: "Mr. Chongyang, I have no enmity or enmity with you, and I can't be considered a friend. But if you are like this, life is worse than death, so just let me give you a ride..."
Perhaps he felt the sharp edge of the sword, and the face of Chongyang's pen, which had lost all five senses, showed a look of relief. He searched for the sharp edge with his throat, used all his strength, and opened his mouth to make a death-like sound. . .
Gu Xiao looked at the horrific wounds on Chongyang Bi's face, the cuts on his mouth and tongue, and couldn't bear to look at him sideways. . .
The light of Broken Moon's sword flashed, and a head fell to the ground. Blood spurted out and filled the secret room. The young man immediately turned around and said to the lost Tian Sanqi beside him: "Let's go."
The man's head fell to the ground and rolled around a few times, landing in front of Tian Sanqi. His empty eyes with horrifying wounds looked directly at Tian Sanqi, frightening the gilded worshipper to the point where he almost left his body. When he came out, he heard the young man calling, and he came back to his senses. He didn't care that his crotch was cold and wet, and he hurriedly crawled to keep up with the young man's pace.
Arriving next to Miss Feng, Gu Xiao said, "Miss Feng, I'm offended."
After finishing speaking, he picked her up by the waist and said to Tian Sanqi behind him: "Carry Da Xia Jin on your back."
Tian Sanqi couldn't wait to escape from the secret room. After hearing the young man's words, he quickly picked up Jin Buyi and followed the young man towards the secret room.
Some people died, but not completely...
