The Adventures of the Crying Princess

"Jin Ying, why are you here? After confirming that it was not an illusion, nor a disguise, Bai Yimeng came closer to Jin Ying.

"How dare I not come? Don't I say that you are too brave. You dare to enter the illusion. If something really happens, how can I explain it to you?"

Bai Yimeng smiled and patted his shoulder, "So you just stay here and if I can't get out, you go in, right?"

"What else?" Jin Ying rolled his eyes. "Second Master has said that he has been looking for Bohe these days and has no energy to watch you. He asked me to tell you not to get involved. If you dare to make trouble, he will join forces with your uncle to beat you up."

"Just tell me, who is better, Lu Lao Er or me?" Bai Yimeng gave a look that said I am very optimistic about you.

"This isn't the best thing to do with anyone. Xiao Qi..."

"Tell me! Jin Ying, just tell me who you are on my side?" Bai Yimeng's face changed instantly, and he pouted, looking like he would cry if you didn't say you would be nice to me.

Jin Ying was helpless, "I'm the best with you. I'm the best with you in the whole world. Is that ok?"

Jin Ying wanted to say something else, but Bai Yimeng covered her mouth, "Okay, that's right. Don't say anything extra. Since you are my best friend, you have to help me, otherwise you are not being nice."

"Second Master actually has a bad temper. Little Sixth Master has been beaten by him before, you should know that. Master, I don't need to tell you, he likes to use the cane, can you stand it?"

"If I'm going to be beaten, there is only one possibility, that is, you betrayed me. I don't care, I must save Sister Bohe. Even if the two of them team up to beat me, I have to save her, otherwise I will feel uneasy." Bai Yimeng bumped into Jin Ying, "Please, help me."

"Okay, I'll help you." The one Jin Ying couldn't handle the most was Bai Yimeng. Seeing the little girl grow up, he couldn't bear to see her being wronged. "Here's this for you. Put it under your tongue. Ordinary illusions won't be able to do anything to you. Also, stay by my side for a while. If there's anything unusual, I can protect you the first time."

Bai Yimeng nodded heavily and followed Jin Ying obediently.

……

At the other end of the street, a man dressed like an opera actor was standing on the eaves, with a little boy standing next to him.

"High Priest, there is still half an hour left, and the person who is completely yin can be used as medicine." The little boy looked at the moonlight, counted with his fingers, and hurriedly reported.

"Okay, I don't want to be disturbed, go and play with them."

"I'm afraid it won't work. The illusion I just set up was broken by a little girl. That girl doesn't look very old, but she seems like an expert."

The high priest turned his head to look at the little boy, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, "Didn't you say before that there were no gangs studying illusion in the capital? How come a little girl suddenly appeared? You have half an incense stick of time to get rid of her. If you can't do it, I will move your head to another place."

"As you command." The little boy shuddered and immediately stepped back.

After the boy left, the high priest curled his lips and said, "Come out, it seems that what the boy said is right. It seems that I really underestimated the capital. I didn't expect that there would be such a master under the world. I am so sorry for my disrespect."

"No problem." Lu Yikuan opened his folding fan and swept a wave of internal energy through the air, which was fast and fierce, and went straight to the back of the high priest.

The high priest did not dodge or evade, but stamped his foot, releasing a wave of air. The two collided in the air with a deafening bang. Nearly half of the roof tiles fell off in an instant, and the house began to sway.

Lu Yikuan was very skilled. His moves were from Yumen Villa mixed with the internal energy of Wan'an Valley. For a moment, the high priest found it difficult to resist.

The night watchman in the capital passed by and saw two groups of black gas fighting in the air, destroying the nearby roofs and houses terribly. He could not help but shouting loudly, "There is a monster... The monster is killing people..." Accompanied by the sound of gongs, all the people on both sides of the West Street intersection were awakened.

Faced with such a loud noise outside and the hysterical shouts of the night watchman, everyone silently blew out the candles.

Bai Yimeng heard the voice and quickly rushed to the battlefield with Jin Ying. He recognized Lu Yikuan at a glance and said, "Jin Ying, stay here and don't move. I'll go help Second Senior Brother."

"My dear, the Second Master has spoken. If you dare to participate, I will definitely beat you up. He is good at fighting, so we will just listen and not go."

Bai Yimeng thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, let's not go. When will Second Brother need my help when he's fighting? Let's go save Sister Bohe."

Bai Yimeng poked Jin Ying and pursed his lips, "You see that man is acting sneaky, I guess he is in the same group with that guy, let's ask him about Sister Bohe's whereabouts."

Jin Ying hurriedly followed. The little boy was standing on the roof, muttering something and making gestures with his hands. He looked very busy.

"Excuse me. Are you in the same group with that opera singer?" Bai Yimeng said with a harmless look.

The little boy turned his head and looked over, startled. Just as he was about to shout, Bai Yimeng punched him, knocked him unconscious and tied him up. "It's the middle of the night, no loud noises allowed, can you please have some manners?"

Not long after, the little boy woke up, "You... who are you that broke my illusion?"

"Shut up. I'm just asking you one question. Where is the girl you caught?"

"I can't say..."

Bai Yimeng threw a pill into his mouth and forced him to take it. "This is a lie detector pill. If you tell the truth, you will live, but if you lie, you will die. Be careful. I don't want to kill anyone."

The little boy had never heard of lie detector pills, but seeing that Bai Yimeng didn't seem to be lying, he believed it, "I'll say... the cellar in that shabby house... I don't want to die yet..."

"Be good, you won't die. As long as what you say is true, you won't die."

After saying that, he took Jinying to the dilapidated house.

The shabby house was in ruins, and it was exciting to come here in the middle of the night. Bai Yimeng hung on Jin Ying the whole time until they reached the entrance of the cellar.

"You are so brave, and you dare to do it yourself. Let me say this, it's really shameful."

Bai Yimeng ignored him, took out a tinderbox and jumped directly into the cellar.

The room was too big, and even with the fire stick, it was still pitch black. The two of them walked on tiptoe. They heard footsteps not far away, and they quickly jumped onto the wall.

Soon, a small group of patrolmen passed by the two of them. Bai Yimeng noticed that the patrolmen were all puppets with empty eyes.

After getting rid of the patrol team, the two walked through a narrow corridor and soon found a beam of fire. After walking about fifty meters, they found a secret room.

The secret room was as bright as day. Through the gap, one could vaguely see an iron cage inside, with something locked inside.

The strange thing was that before the two of them could react, the door of the secret room creaked up.

The two looked at each other, exchanged glances, and hid aside. Two people who looked like guards came out carrying food boxes.

What was even more strange was that no one knew whether the guard forgot to close the stone door or did it on purpose. In short, the door of the stone chamber remained open after the guard left.

Seeing this, Bai Yimeng wanted to go in for further inspection, but was stopped by Jin Ying.

Everything went too smoothly, which made the experienced Jin Ying very uneasy. He pulled Bai Yimeng and said, "Don't go in yet. There might be something fishy going on inside."

Bai Yimeng seemed to realize that something was wrong, and just as the two were about to leave, the candles on the walls of the cellar lit up at the same time.

Rows of black puppets were lined up on the walls on both sides. They were silent and had no signs of life, just like the murals. No matter how high your internal strength was, it would not be able to move at all.

A whistle sounded, and the puppets seemed to be triggered, and they swarmed towards Bai Yimeng and Jin Ying.
