As soon as Mr. Gu finished speaking, I didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of me.
What I am encountering now is completely different from what I expected!
Before Jiang Leyou came, someone had taken control of the prison in Xinggu City. Gu Ye and Ma Biao were just two pawns in that person's hands.
Is Jiang Leyou fighting with that person, or is Jiang Leyou just that person's subordinate?
While I was thinking, someone ran down from above: "Master Gu, someone is shouting from the loudspeaker outside, asking us all to go out and change new clothes."
Master Gu's expression changed drastically: "Hurry up and tell the brothers to seal the door. No one can go out to change clothes."
"It's too late, Mr. Gu..." The man said with a sad face: "The brothers above all went out as if they were possessed by evil spirits, and we couldn't stop them!"
"Seal the door!" Mr. Gu roared angrily: "Have people seal all the doors and don't let the people above come down."
Ma Biao suddenly grabbed the shoulder of the person who reported the message: "How did you get down? What happened to the clothes you were wearing?"
I also noticed at this time that the man was wearing a new set of clothes.
The man's shoulders were obviously pinned down by Ma Biao's hand, but he struggled outwards. With a crisp sound of broken bones, he forcibly moved his body forward half a foot, raised two fingers of his left hand and ran He dug out Mr. Gu's eye sockets.
For some reason, Mr. Gu seemed to be stupid. He stood motionless on the spot, his eyes staring straight at the other person who was digging his fingers into his eyes.
At the critical moment, I pointed a horizontal finger at the man's wrist, forcing his palm to deflect.
It wasn't until the man's fingers crossed in front of Gu Ye's eyes that Gu Ye finally reacted and took a few steps back: "Kill him!"
Master Gu's men came up with their knives and slashed the opponent to the ground. Master Gu kept roaring: "Chop him into pieces, chop his clothes into pieces."
The blood-stained machete rose and fell with the sound of wind, and the opponent's body and clothes were divided into several pieces. As soon as the people who were surrounding and killing the opponent stopped, the chopped clothes on the ground flew up out of thin air, and went straight to The bodies of those people were entangled.
After blinking, a few more blood-stained pieces of cloth appeared on those people's bodies, and their eyes seemed to have lost focus and became empty.
Gu Ye, Ma Biao and I retreated at the same time and occupied different positions. Just when the three of us opened up our posture and prepared to face the enemy, those few people turned around at the same time and rushed towards the ancient bronze tree.
When one of them passed by the noose frame, he cut off the noose buckle with a knife. The rope frame quickly reversed under the pull of the iron chain, and the door on the wall also closed quickly.
Those people sped up and rushed towards the door at the same time. The three of us wanted to stop them, but it was too late. We watched helplessly as several people disappeared into the door, and the space hiding the bronze tree was closed.
The three of us were stunned on the spot for a moment.
I was the first to speak: "Master Gu, Master Ma, how many subordinates do you have available? Get them all here."
"No!" Ma Biao objected on the spot: "Bring all the people here, aren't they waiting to be killed in one fell swoop? Leave one person outside to take care of you."
I looked at Ma Biao coldly and said, "If we don't find all the people here, are we going to let them turn into dead people one by one and come to cause trouble for us?"
"You don't dare to bring people here, are you afraid that I will join forces with Mr. Gu to take over all of you? What time is it now, and you still want to make such a calculation?"
Ma Biao was struck by what I said, and his face suddenly turned red: "Your background is not clear to begin with. I am not that old fool named Gu."
I raised my hand and pointed outward: "You're afraid of being caught all here. You can leave, no one will stop you."
Ma Biao gave me a gloomy look and walked quickly to the other side of the cell.
After Ma Biao left, Mr. Gu said: "Master Ye, I still have about twenty people. However, the dry food and drinking water we have stored in the cell are only enough for us to last for seven or eight days. We cannot talk to the outside. Keep spending it."
"Seven or eight days are enough for the prince to come over." I deliberately wanted to leave some hope for Mr. Gu and the others, lest they really panic and make any irreparable mistakes.
Moreover, the Ninth Prince also said that I probably need to stay in prison for about ten days, so the time is still right.
Mr. Gu then breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Ye, what will we do after we gather people here? Just wait here?"
"Shrink the person back to protect yourself first, and wait until the prince comes to talk about the rest!" I don't have any good way to deal with the crisis in front of me, I can only wait and see what happens.
After Mr. Gu sent out several signals in succession, the disciples hiding in the two floors also rushed over one after another. Mr. Gu only let them in after confirming several times.
I have also been thinking about how to deal with the situation in front of me. When Ye Sanqi and the Nine Princes put me in prison, they definitely didn't want me to lure the snake out of the hole.
But now that I'm trapped here, what else can I do?
Seeing that I kept looking in the direction of the secret door without saying a word, Mr. Gu asked cautiously: "Master Ye, what are you thinking about?"
I deliberately looked the other person in the eyes and said, "Master Gu, you have been here for more than ten years, and you don't know much about this ancient bronze tree?"
Mr. Gu simply sat down and said, "To be honest with you, Ma Biao and I have been studying that ancient tree, and I have always suspected that what we saw was not the true form of the ancient tree, or that the tree was just an illusion. "
"We once sent people to explore the space behind the secret door, but all those people never returned. However, before one of my men died, he sent away a piece of the corner of an ancient tree from inside the secret door."
Mr. Gu took out a red cloth package from close to his body, untied the three ropes wrapped around it, opened the red cloth layer by layer, and took out a copper block about three or four inches long.
Judging from the gap in the copper block, someone must have forcibly knocked it off somewhere, but I can't tell which part of the bronze tree it came from.
Mr. Gu held the bronze fragments in front of me with a red cloth: "Master Ye, please take a look!"
I didn't go to pick up the bronze fragments: "Master Gu, the method used to wrap the bronze pieces is the third level of prohibition on door theft, right?"
"Master Ye, you have a good eye!" Mr. Gu said with a smile: "This copper piece itself has an evil nature. I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress it without using any means."
My heart sank instantly: I picked the wrong person. I should have gotten rid of Mr. Gu just now and kept Ma Biao.
The "Three Levels of Forbidden" of stealing doors is actually a secret method that is only used when stealing divine objects and evil weapons.
When breaking into secrets and ancient tombs, one often comes across some valuable treasures whose evil nature is difficult to remove on the spot. At this time, they will choose to wrap the secret treasure with triple restrictions and take it out of the secret cache.
However, the three-stage ban only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. If, before walking out of the secret hideout, two of the triple restrictions are opened, even if that item is priceless, it must be discarded on the spot, otherwise, unpredictable consequences will inevitably occur.
Mr. Gu has been carrying the bronze fragments with him using the three levels of prohibition. Who can guarantee that he will not be invaded by evil spirits?
