Abduct a shadow guard to investigate the case

Shen Yao and Xuan Qi walked cautiously in the aisle, and sure enough, they didn't encounter any organ again.

Shen Yao said, "Did you notice that the ghost screaming sound disappeared?"

Xuan Qi said, "Shortly after the organ was activated, the sound disappeared." As he spoke, his eyes swept over Shen Yao's lips.

After walking about 30 meters, turning a corner, three dark holes appeared in front of us.

"This way—" the voice came from the hole on the right.

Shen Yao stretched out his hand to stop Xuan Qi, and walked in front, approaching the entrance of the cave.

When I walked in, I found that the inside of the hole was a space blocked by iron bars, like a prison cell.The person who spoke was a burly middle-aged man, dressed in embroidered black clothes, his limbs were chained to the cave wall by iron chains, the iron chains were extremely short, and he could only stand close to the stone wall.The man was facing the entrance of the cave, with gray stains on his face, but his tiger eyes were still dignified.

"Villa Master?!" Xuan Qi who was following Shen Yao suddenly blurted out, his voice was startled and frightened.

"!!!" Shen Yao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to find Lu Zangming, the owner of Tibetan Name Villa, in this way.He looked at Xuan Qi and found that Xuan Qi's eyes were filled with astonishment.

The man in the cave said to Xuan Qi, "The shadow hall is too slow to come! Tell me your code name."

When Xuan Qi was asked by him, he immediately knelt down on one knee, straightened his back, lowered his head respectfully, and said, "My subordinate'Xuan' is listed as 'Xuan Qi', and pay homage to the owner."

"Well," Lu Zangming snorted, looked at Shen Yao again and said, "Who are you?"

Shen Yao said, "This is Shen Yao from the Qingji Pavilion of the Wulin League, entrusted by the famous Tibetan villa, to investigate."

Lu Zang famously said, "Xue Feng is so inconsiderate in his actions that he actually informed the Wulin League of my disappearance."

Shen Yao said, "Teacher Xue just asked Mr. Shen to conduct a secret investigation, and the matter has not been made public. The reason for this will be explained in detail after the owner is rescued."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to pull Xuan Qi, only to find that Xuan Qi was looking sideways at him, still with a surprised expression on his face.Xuan Qi hesitated for a moment, then stood up directly.The two looked at the iron lock on the door, Xuan Qi said, "I'll come."

As he spoke, a soft needle popped out of his sleeve, and he fiddled with the keyhole a few times to open the lock.

When they entered the cave, Xuan Qi was about to do the same thing and unchain Lu Zangming, when Lu Zangming suddenly said, "Wait!"

Shen Yao tilted his ears slightly, and quickly said, "Someone is here!"

……

Two figures in dark gray cloaks came out of the opening in the middle.

One person said, "It's been a long time since there were mice in the village. Two came at a time, and even killed a demon soldier. I just heard that the mechanism at the entrance of the Dragon King Temple was touched. It must have crushed the mice."

Another person said, "Bai Wu has already gone to see it, tsk tsk, I really want to die."

While talking, the two came to the entrance of the cave where Lu Zangming was locked, and looked inside. Lu Zangming was standing against the stone wall, and when he heard their voices, he raised his eyelids and looked at them.

One person said, "Master Lu, it's time for you to test the medicine." While talking, he took out the key, opened the door, and walked into the cave with the other person.

Another person took out a roll of soft cloth from his bosom, and after spreading it out, there was a row of silver needles on it, he said while pulling out the silver needles, "You have to seal your internal energy first, then put it in the medicine barrel and then untie it. "

However, the silver needle did not penetrate Lu Zangming's acupoints, and the two felt a shadow over their heads. Before they could react, they were knocked unconscious by Shen Yao and Xuan Qi who descended from the sky.

Xuan Qi quickly took out the key of the chain from one person, unlocked Lu Zangming, and then knelt down to plead guilty, "My savior is late, please punish the owner."

"Hmph," Lu Zangming moved his limbs slightly, and said, "Why did the shadow hall only send you here?"

Xuan Qi didn't answer immediately, but lowered his head even deeper.

Shen Yao rolled his eyes depressedly at the side, and said to Lu Zangming, "Maybe Hall Master Xue has his own plans, we'd better get away first."

Lu Zangming nodded and ordered Xuan Qi to get up.

Shen Yao said, "Xuan Qi and I put on cloaks, pretended to be people here, pretended to take you to test the medicine, and waited for the opportunity to break out."

"It's so wonderful." Lu Zang said famously.

Shen Yao and Xuan Qi quickly put on their cloaks, moved the two of them to the shadow of the corner of the cave, and were about to take Lu Zangming out, but they heard him say, "Wait, Xuan Qi, kill these two for me! "

Shen Yao was taken aback, he didn't like to kill casually, so Lu Zangming's order made him a little surprised.

Seeing that Xuan Qi didn't move immediately, he clenched the hand hanging by his side, as if he was also hesitating.

Shen Yao said, "Whether these two people will wake up in a while, it's better to spare their lives."

Lu Zangming glanced at him, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he said to Xuan Qi again, "Don't do anything yet?!"

"..." Shen Yao looked at Xuan Qi.

Xuan Qi didn't look at him, lowered his eyes slightly, clenched and loosened his fists, and suddenly pulled out the soft sword that Shen Yao gave him just now from his waist, the silver light flashed across, the sword sealed his throat, and the blood of the two people on the ground spattered a wall.

He raised his head, glanced at Shen Yao, did not speak, his pale face made the two drops of blood glaring, Shen Yao almost reached out to wipe it off for him, but Xuan Qi just quickly pulled up the hood of his cloak and stepped back. He came behind Lu Zangmin.

Lu Zangming snorted softly, and stepped out of the cave.

"The left side is the place where people are locked up, and the middle leads to the stone cave for testing medicine. There are several exits in the cave. Let's go there to find the way." Lu Zangming introduced the situation in a few words in a low voice, and led the two to Go through the hole in the middle.

Shen Yao asked, "Who arrested you?"

"I just remember that the last moment I was in retreat at the back of the villa, it was time for dinner, and the next moment I woke up, I was imprisoned here. After I came here, they tested medicine on me every day." Lu Zangming looked gloomy Said, "The leader is a man wearing a mask, and there are a group of subordinates, who may be the remnants of the Demon Cult. They also arrested some people from other places, and they also used them to test medicine, intending to refine Demon Soldiers."

"The owner has been suffering for the past few days," Shen Yao said, "Then your body...?"

"It's okay," Lu Zangming frowned, with a gloomy look in his eyes, "They may want to get different results from me, so it seems to be different from the medicine used on other prisoners. They were tortured to death by drugs, and a few people were turned into monsters. By the way, did you hear their screams when you came?"

"Well, it's like a ghost screaming..." Shen Yao said, and glanced at Xuan Qi at the same time, Xuan Qi was following behind Lu Zangming, his face was also hidden in the cloak, it seemed that he had really become a shadow.

"Who are the other people they caught?"

"It seems to be some traffickers and vagrants. I don't see anyone who looks too much like people in the Jianghu."

"Are these people locked up on the left?" Shen Yao asked again, slowing down slightly.

"Ah."

Shen Yao raised his hand and pinched his chin.

"What? You want to save those people?" Lu Zangming saw Shen Yao's reaction in his eyes, "Not to mention that I don't know how many people are still alive over there. Even if you save them, you are sure to bring them together." Take it out?"

Shen Yao's hand pinching his chin froze for a moment, not noticing that Xuan Qi glanced at him.

Lu Zangming didn't say much, and slowed down with him.

At this moment, there was a "rumbling" sound from the direction they came from at the other end of the passage, and the ground under their feet trembled slightly.

"They opened the mechanism at the entrance of the Dragon King Temple." Lu Zangming said.

Shen Yao gritted his teeth, but caught a glimpse of Xuan Qi seeming to hold back his kneeling posture, he didn't want to think too much, frowned and said, "Let's go, the most urgent thing is to escort you out!"

He suddenly remembered something, and asked again, "Master Lu, have you ever seen a 'lion' underground? Stone lions, murals, as long as they are related to lions."

"..." Lu Zangming was a little strange, thought for a while and said, "Nothing."

Shen Yao and Xuan Qi left and right, pretending to bet on Lu Cangming, and quickly reached the end of the passage, the front suddenly opened up, and there was a huge stone cave, with bright torches in the cave, high hanging ceiling, and dense stalagmites hanging upside down .There are obvious rock patterns on the four walls and the ground of the cave, but they are relatively smooth and flat. There is a hole on the left and right front stone walls, and I don't know where it leads.There are seven or eight large vats scattered in the cave, and iron cages are erected beside some of the vats.There are several jars with sealed lids, and there is a motionless human head protruding from the center of each lid, who does not know whether he is alive or dead from a distance. There is a faint mist coming from the mouth of the jars, and a strange smell of herbs hits the face.

Inside the cave were three men wearing gray cloaks, surrounding a large vat, and the two of them worked together to lift a strong man out of it.The man was naked, his body was covered with green medicinal juice, his whole body was stiff and motionless.One person checked his breath and shook his head. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the person who tested the medicine suddenly opened his eyes. The eyeballs were obviously enlarged and protruded, and they were bloodshot. He reached out and grabbed his arm. The man was startled and backed away abruptly, the medicine man jumped up and rushed towards him, but another man hit his back with a big iron chain. Button it around his neck.

The medicine man struggled to stand up and let out a low growl like a trapped animal. He clasped the iron chain around his neck with both hands and pulled it hard, but he couldn't break free. One end of the iron chain was tied to the iron cage beside him. On the ground, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break the range of the chain.

At this time, two more iron chains swung from behind him, hitting and wrapped around his two ankles respectively, causing the two cloaked men on the iron chains to pull back with force, and the medicine man fell face down again. He fell to the ground, was dragged backwards, and there was no more movement.

The three surrounded him again, and one said, "Should this person stay or not?"

Another person said, "I'm afraid that if I take medicine, I won't be able to restore my basic consciousness, so forget it."

Seeing the other two nodding, he took out a sharp knife from his pocket, squatted down, and was about to stab the back of the medicine man's heart, when suddenly, the medicine man buried his head on the ground let out a sobbing sound. It sounded like a child crying coquettishly.

The three of them were startled, and took half a step back vigilantly, but the medicine man suddenly turned over, facing up, waving his limbs like a child cheating, and crying, "It hurts, mother, it hurts... ..."

Shen Yao clenched his fists tightly, and his bones made a soft "clack".

At this moment, the knife was raised and dropped, hitting the heart of the heart...

"Hey, why don't you come over?" After clearing away the medicine men, the three cloaked men finally noticed Shen Yao and the others.

"Is Master Lu still cooperating today?" One person sneered.

Lu Zangming gave the three of them a hard look.

Shen Yao thought, looking at the situation, there is a high possibility that the people wearing the cloak know each other. If they get close to a few people, it is inevitable that they will not be exposed. Should they fight now, or play around again?He was thinking about how to speak, when a voice sounded in his ear——

"Besides cooperating, what else can he do? Let's go there now." The voice sounded very much like the man with the key he met just now at the place where Lu Cangming was being held.

Shen Yao took a look, but Xuan Qi was speaking.He couldn't help admiring inwardly, thinking that even Yi Rong and Yi Sheng couldn't trouble Xuan Qi.

It's just that he didn't get any response from Xuan Qi's praise. Since the man stood behind Lu Zangming, he hadn't looked at him again. Thinking of this, Shen Yao felt very depressed.

After hearing their arrangement, the three people in the cave went to check and deal with the other medicine men.

Shen Yao and Xuan Qi walked behind them with Lu Zangming, in the blink of an eye, the soft sword in Xuan Qi's waist came out again, a cold light flashed, and the two cloaked men fell to the ground instantly, blood gushed from their throats, gurgling on the ground.

Before the other person could react, he felt a chill on his neck, and the sword edge stained with blood had already rested on his neck.
