Qi Yang and Ling'er came to the quiet courtyard to the east of the lower floor together.
Qi Yang held his breath and listened for a while, then said to Ling'er: "There is no one inside, but I don't know if there is a secret room or something. Please follow me, girl."
Ling'er nodded and followed Qi Yang inside.
Although it was not over yet, the yard was still a little dark, which gave people an inexplicable feeling of eeriness.
There was only one room inside, and a gust of dark wind seemed to be blowing from the room, causing the torches burning in the room to flicker on and off, flickering constantly.
As soon as she entered the room, Ling'er smelled the stench of blood. She quickly took out her handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose.
The two stopped and looked at the spacious room.
There were several wooden stakes standing in the middle of the room. Some stood straight there, while others were set up in the shape of a cross with heavy chains wrapped around them. There is also a box bed next to the wooden pile, with various chains and handcuffs on the bed. This is clearly a torture chamber.
Ling'er was horrified and couldn't help but lean towards Qi Yang, while Qi Yang stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around Ling'er's shoulders to comfort her.
Ling'er turned sideways and found a large row of shelves behind them, on the right side of the door. The things hanging on them made Ling'er exclaim in surprise.
They were all kinds of torture instruments, and Ling'er actually recognized several of them. Aren't they the torture instruments used in the "Top Ten Tortures of the Demon Cult" that she had heard Zhong Gong mention before? Thinking of their terrible purpose, Ling'er was so horrified that she threw herself into Qi Yang's arms.
Qi Yang then turned around and noticed the torture instruments.
The shelves are filled with all kinds of long whips, canes, wattle sticks, soldering irons, and saws, and the table in front of the shelves is neatly arranged with iron hooks, meat tongs, hammers, meat brushes, ropes, and wooden hands. and daggers of various shapes, as well as large torture instruments such as tiger benches, clamping sticks, and pointed stools.
Ling'er smelled the familiar and reassuring breath on Qi Yang's body, and her heart gradually calmed down. Just as she was about to come out of Qi Yang's arms, she found that Qi Yang's body suddenly became a little stiff and even trembling slightly.
Linger hurriedly pushed Qi Yang away and raised her head to look at him. Qi Yang was seen looking at the instruments of torture with a very solemn expression.
"Don't worry! There is no fresh smell of blood here in recent days. Xu Le must not have tortured Xiao Yizi and the others." Ling'er hurriedly comforted Qi Yang.
Ling'er's gentle voice seemed to awaken Qi Yang. He quickly turned away from looking at the torture instruments, turned to Ling'er and said, "I'm sorry, I was distracted. What did the girl... say just now?"
Ling'er looked at Qi Yang's still dazed expression and asked with concern: "Brother Qi Yang, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine." Qi Yang quickly changed the subject and asked, "What did the girl just say?"
Ling'er noticed Qi Yang's perfunctory behavior and turned her head away dissatisfied.
"Are you worried about Xiao Yizi and the others? Xu Le needs their treatment and will not torture them." Qi Yang said.
Ling'er frowned and thought to herself: "Brother Qi Yang wasn't worried about Xiao Yizi just now, so what happened to him?"
While Ling'er was meditating, Qi Yang had already walked to the end of the execution room to check if there was any secret door.
Ling'er suddenly looked up and found that Qi Yang was far away from her, and the fear in her heart struck again. She walked quickly towards Qi Yang, but she didn't notice that there was a small drainage ditch under her feet. She accidentally stepped on the air and fell to the ground with a "plop".
Qi Yang rushed over when he heard the noise, helped Ling'er up, and asked with concern: "Is the girl injured anywhere?"
Ling'er shook her head and said aggrievedly: "Why is there a ditch here?"
"There will be ditches like this in the execution chamber to drain away the dirty blood." Qi Yang explained.
"Blood?" Ling'er quickly looked at her sleeves, and it was indeed stained with a lot of dark black blood. She frowned and said, "Oops! The clothes are stained and they smell so bad!"
"Girl, go back to your room and change some clothes before Xu Le comes back!" Qi Yang said.
"No, I want to be with you." Ling'er refused.
"Okay, let's hurry up and find Xiao Yizi and the others." Qi Yang said, pulling Ling'er out.
"Is there no secret room here?" Ling'er asked.
"No, it is surrounded by stone walls and there is no place to open it." Qi Yang replied.
"Then where should we find it?" Ling'er asked again.
"Apart from here, the closest place to the waterfall is the yard where Xu Le and his friends live." Qi Yang said.
Ling'er said in surprise: "You mean Xu Le locked Xiao Yizi and the others in his own place?"
"It's possible." Qi Yang said.
While they were talking, they had left the torture chamber and came to the other side of the waterfall.
"There are some servants here, and the girl is following closely. If they are discovered, they are said to be lost." Qi Yang explained softly.
Ling'er nodded understandingly.
Qi Yang was rich in experience. He cleverly avoided those servants with mediocre martial arts skills and searched from room to room. Finally, Qi Yang took Linger to the innermost room near the waterfall and groped around on the wall.
Suddenly, Qi Yang shouted in surprise: "Found it!"
Qi Yang pushed hard and a secret door was pushed open.
Ling'er hurriedly looked inside the secret door, and it was pitch dark inside.
Although nothing could be seen, the sounds of many people breathing and frightened gasps could still be heard.
Just as Ling'er was about to call Xiao Yizi, Qi Yang pulled her out, and then Qi Yang closed the secret door again.
Ling'er was confused and heard Qi Yang say: "Someone is back! We have to leave quickly. Now is not the time to save people."
Qi Yang took Ling'er and left the room, heading away from the waterfall.
Soon there was movement outside, first the sound of a vase being smashed, and then several people talking.
"He runs around for that miracle doctor every day! All he thinks about is that miracle doctor, and he doesn't take me seriously at all!"
"Sir, don't be angry! What will you do if your body is damaged by anger?"
"It's better to be angry than to be healthy! Anyway, he doesn't have me in his heart. It's a shame that I stay with him in this deserted place. He has no conscience!"
"Young Master, you have misunderstood the Second Young Master. He just wants to get well as soon as possible. Don't you want him to get well?"
"Get well? I think he covets the position of the leader of the Demon Cult, right? I gave up everything for him, but what about him? He only thinks about his position as the leader of the Demon Cult!"
"You can't say this! It would be terrible if the eldest and third young masters hear it."
"He dares to do it, but he doesn't dare to do it?"
In this moment, Qi Yang had brought Ling'er to the outer wall of the courtyard. He held Ling'er's small waist, flew up, landed on the wall, and then jumped out.
Ling'er was shocked when she looked outside. The place where they jumped was the forest next to the deep pool.
"So high!" Ling'er quickly closed her eyes. It wasn't that she didn't believe in Qi Yang's Qing Gong, she just closed her eyes out of instinct.
It wasn't until she felt that she had landed lightly on the ground that Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Qi Yang, who had let go of her at some point, kneeling on the ground with his head lowered.
"Brother Qi Yang, what's wrong with you?" Linger hurriedly leaned down to check Qi Yang's condition.
Qi Yang gritted his teeth and said: "It's just that the internal strength is a little weak, it doesn't matter."
Ling'er saw sweat oozing out from his forehead and asked worriedly, "Is everything really okay?"
"Yes. Can the girl help them get rid of the drug first?" Qi Yang pointed at the two guards who were still sleeping and said.
"Okay." Ling'er took out the antidote from her small bag and walked towards the two people.
Qi Yang took the opportunity to rub his knees.
Although they had inhaled the antidote powder, the two guards were still sleeping soundly due to the smell of "Water Dense" and "Ningshen Grass".
Linger ignored them and trotted back to Qi Yang.
Qi Yang was much better and stood up slowly.
"Girl, please go back and change clothes quickly! Xu Le is probably coming to find you." Qi Yang said.
"Okay." Ling'er was a little anxious when he heard this and forgot to ask more about Qi Yang's physical discomfort.
