Weicheng snow

I haven't removed my arm for more than ten years, but now I suddenly forcibly removed it, it was really too reluctant, Yi Qingchen took it back, lying on the wet ground for a long time, and finally relieved the unspeakable pain. His feet were even a little unsteady, but his behavior became more careful.

There is no time left for him to cultivate slowly, the most urgent thing is to save Hua Shenchi.

Force yourself to ignore the pain, and concentrate on analyzing the movement patterns of these Yanjia guards. After all, he is a disciple who has been taught by Zen Master Liu Seqing for ten years. I still know a lot about it after years of immersion.

If Master Liu faced the current situation, what would he do?

"The more functions a Yanjia has, the more mechanism operations need to be considered. Look at this watering Yanjia..." It was the autumn of Yi Qingchen's first year in Weicheng, and leaves fell outside the house, willows The master was sitting in the warehouse, stroking the handle of the wheelchair with one hand, and holding a dismantled gourd-shaped armor in the other hand, crushing a ground of wood flowers, walking towards Yi Qingchen, and handing the heavy things into Yi Qingchen's hands .

Master Liu pointed to the conduits and gears inside the gourd armor, and explained, "The more delicate the armor, the easier it is to fail due to some tiny mistakes. Just look at this armor, there are only three conduits and two gears inside. , you can tell at a glance that the stone is stuck between the gears."

"However, if it is a Yanjia with hundreds of agencies operating inside, it will take a period of time to investigate, and the length of time depends on Yanshi's experience...so the more exquisite the Yanjia, the easier it will be. The more you are afraid of making mistakes, the more you are afraid of making mistakes. The layout is also the same, the bigger the situation, the less you can tolerate any surprises, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted..."

Yi Qingchen thought for a moment, took out a magnet ring from the kit, passed a thin wire through the middle of the ring, pinched one end in his hand, and threw the ring on the pre-estimated route of the guards. On the ground, the whole person lay down in the grass, waiting for the footsteps of the guards to gradually approach.

Yi Qingchen swallowed nervously, finally, the thread in hand moved, and then there was a strange metallic sound, just when Yi Qingchen thought he had succeeded, the sound disappeared again.Yi Qingchen pulled the ring back, carefully observed the surface of the ring, there were indeed some traces of wear and tear, it should have been stepped on, as for why it failed, could it be because the number of magnets was not enough?

Thinking of this, he strung the rest of the rings on the thread and threw them out. This time, the sound of metal did not stop, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling, and the clothes lightly dusted. Although he was curious, he didn't raise his head immediately. Instead, he immediately pulled back the thin thread, and very slightly pushed the grass to a gap half the thickness of a finger.From this point of view, one can see a person lying down on the ground not far away. The joints on this person's body have several signs of damage and cracking, and some fine fragments have fallen around.

Not long after, two guards came slowly from the shadows in the distance, one of them looked at Yan Jiaren on the ground and said, "What's the matter?" The other looked around, and Yi Qingchen immediately closed the bushes.

Then I heard another person say, "I don't know, the road is probably slippery in rainy days, and the iron inside is damp and rusted. I have already said not to use pig iron, and the waterproof measures are so sloppy..." Another person argued again Said, "It's useless for you to tell me. This is what the Dharma protector means. There are not enough materials at the moment. You still want to choose this or that? Move it back first and repair it."

Another person wondered, "If this one moves away, what will happen to the guard at this position?"

The other person said impatiently, "No, it's gone. Do you still expect someone to enter the inner courtyard? Besides, with such a heavy rain, you have to stand here and stand guard all night instead of this junk thing?"

The other person immediately softened and said, "No, no, sir, I have a room and a bed, why should I suffer so much, then let's leave it empty for now." After a while of footsteps, there was no movement outside the grass.

Yi Qingchen waited for a long time before carefully pushing aside the grass and found that the Yanjia man who was lying on the ground had disappeared, and the two guards did not leave a new mechanism.

In this way, there will be flaws to be found on this road!

Yi Qingchen recalled the map of the inner courtyard drawn by Hua Shenchi in his mind, sorted out the messy mechanism layout on it, and removed the track patrolled by this Yanjia man. In this way, a road that can be tried to pass Then it appeared.

Yi Qingchen was overjoyed, but at a critical moment, he must not forget about it, after all, there were too many memories of losing his money because of this, he forced himself to return to calmness, and cautiously explored deeper into the inner courtyard according to the original rhythm.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Yi Qingchen moved slowly against the walls of a row of houses, and took advantage of the corners of the eaves to avoid the wind and rain. When passing by a window, there was a sudden scream from inside, which made Yi Qingchen froze He lay down and didn't dare to move for a long time.

There was the sound of the long knife being put back on the chopping board, as if a heavy object was being dragged, followed by the sound of the door closing.

Yi Qingchen took out a magnet mirror from his bag, tried to use the reflection to see the situation in the room clearly, at one glance, he saw the blood on the ground, and adjusted the angle properly, he saw a huge table case, on the table case There was a chopping board with a bloody kitchen knife standing on it. Under the table were several baskets filled with pieces of meat, and they were all neatly divided. One basket was for arms, one was for legs, and the other was for heads. …

Yi Qingchen wanted to continue to take a closer look, but the sound of the door opening suddenly sounded, Yi Qingchen hurriedly retracted the mirror, and continued to listen to the movement of dragging heavy objects and the sound of closing the door repeatedly, until the last basket of meat was dragged out, Yi Qingchen Just now cautiously walked to the edge of the row house, opened the mirror to see what was going on in front of the house.

The butcher who was in charge of dismembering the body was holding an iron chain in his hand. The other end of the iron chain was tied to the top of an iron plate. There were several rows of rollers under the iron plate. Covered, the butcher only needs a little force, and the iron plate will roll up, and they will go to the deeper arch.

The butcher passed by the patrolling guards, but the guards didn't seem to see him, and walked along the original route. Yi Qingchen thought about the reason, probably because the butcher was wearing something to interfere with Yanjia's judgment , but the butcher can swagger like this, but he can't, so he continued to move forward according to the original route, climbed over the wall, landed on the canopy of the tree, and observed the environment of the courtyard in front of him.

The canopy is very high, and you can see the overview of the entire courtyard. Unlike the several courtyards outside, this courtyard has no exits, only one entrance, and there are fewer patrols than the outside. The houses are very concentrated. It looks like it should be the deepest part of the hospital.

Yi Qingchen watched the butcher walk into one of the houses, but did not follow immediately, because the fact that there were few guards was too strange in itself, and one had to be careful.In fact, he thought that the eyeliner would be hidden in the canopy of the tree, and he wanted to sneak attack by surprise and occupy the high ground. Unexpectedly, after entering the canopy, he found that there was nothing inside.

The more Yi Qingchen thought about it, the more something went wrong, he was wondering whether to keep up with the butcher, the bushes behind him trembled suddenly, Yi Qingchen's heart was shocked, he immediately pulled out the dagger in his boots and stabbed back, but was caught by someone live.

A helpless laugh came from behind, "I said that you can't find Brother Xue in this courtyard, so you are hiding here."

Yi Qingchen turned his head in astonishment, and saw Murong Qian looking at him with a smile on his face.Obviously there is only one route that is safe enough to pass through in the calculation, how did Murong Qian get here first without causing commotion?

As if seeing Yi Qingchen's doubts, Murong Qian tilted his head and said with a smile, "Brother Xue and I took the same road, but Brother Xue may have delayed some time on the way, so Xiaoqian got the lead I have already cleaned up all the eyeliners in the courtyard, Brother Xue can rest assured."

In this way, Yi Qingchen can understand why there is not even a shadow of eyeliner in the treetop highland, and it turns out that it was solved by Murong Qian earlier.

Yi Qingchen wanted to discuss further plans with Murong Qian, but Murong Qian suddenly grabbed Yi Qingchen's wrist, pointed to a row of houses and said, "I've checked before, and most of the people who were arrested are Locked up there, but time was too fast to find any trace of the wood."

When Yi Qingchen heard that Hua Shenchi was most likely to be locked up there, his heart tensed immediately, and he forgot to ask the question, so he followed Murong Qian's pace through the rain curtain and rushed towards the row of houses.

Murong Qian led Yi Qingchen swaggering in from the main entrance, and Yi Qingchen was quite shocked by this, Murong Qian only explained, "There are only 12 people in this courtyard, including the master of the country, and six of them are eyeliners. I solved it, and the only one left is a butcher who is responsible for dismembering and punishing the corpse, two servants who are responsible for repairing and maintaining Yanjia, a cook who is responsible for cooking, a maid who is responsible for communicating with outsiders, and the national teacher himself. "

After a pause, he chuckled again, "At this point, it can be said that it is the end of the road, right? I went to the warehouse earlier, and there is no extra wood and iron pieces left, and the food has reached the bottom. …”

Yi Qingchen said in surprise, "So, if you keep besieging it outside for a while, you will win without a fight?" After thinking about it, she felt that something was wrong. Freedom, that is, they can bring food in from the outside, even if it is so, they still have the bottom line, why?

Murong Qian didn't say anything more, just walked straight into the house, took out a faint green night pearl from his bosom, with the dim brilliance of the night pearl, Yi Qingchen could roughly see that there was a prisoner in the corner of the house. Although the cage was similar to the one where Hua Chenchi was imprisoned, it was empty inside. Yi Qingchen observed the surrounding environment thoughtfully for a moment, and came to a conclusion that this was by no means the place where Hua Chenchi was imprisoned. The color of the ground is completely different from that seen in the dream.

Murong Qian and Yi Qingchen inspected the row of houses one by one, and found the corpses of a dozen adult men in some of them. The clothes he wore were exactly the Dr. Yunyou I saw in the square in front of the palace that day. Rotten flesh full of flies and sunken eyes.

Murong Qian looked at the wounds on the corpses without changing his face, and said indifferently, "Murder to death..." Then he turned his body to one side, blocking Yi Qingchen's sight, and looked at the latter Pushing out of the room, "There is only the last room left, hurry up."

Although Murong Qian blocked it very quickly, Yi Qingchen still saw it. Those corpses had no nails, some even had their fingers cut off in half, some had no eyeballs, and some had jaws separated from their mouths, opening into astonishing sizes …

Yi Qingchen felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

It's not that he hasn't seen corpses that are more terrifying than this death, but as soon as he thinks that Hua Shenchi may have received such treatment, he thinks of that box of bloody dumplings...

He doesn't want to eat dumplings anymore.

Pushing open the wooden door of the last room, Yi Qingchen was really surprised by the emptiness of the room. He walked into the room suspiciously, bent down and knocked on the floor tiles tentatively, hoping to find the dark room hidden deep inside. , I knocked every floor tile over and over again, but I didn't hear anything strange.

Yi Qingchen wondered if he had overlooked something. As for the walls, the room where the corpses of the doctors were placed is separated by a wall, and it is impossible for there to be a dark room, but this room is so empty, it is obvious that there will be some mechanism Existence, but oneself did not discover it.

Murong Qian pondered, "Will the agency be in another room?"

The two of them went back to the next house to check carefully. After another hour, Yi Qingchen finally found a handle behind the painting on the wall of the fourth house, tried to pull it down, and followed What followed was a huge rumbling sound, which was as loud as a landslide, and the sound of the direct rain was much softer.

Such a big movement will definitely attract the attention of the national teacher. If he runs away now, he and Murong Qian may escape, but Hua Shenchi will definitely be transferred to the place of detention, but if he continues to go deep, Hua Chenchi will not be able to escape. If they can be rescued, they and Murong Qian will still be in danger.

Yi Qingchen thought for a moment, and suggested that Murong Qian should escape first.

But Murong Qian chuckled, pulled out the long sword at his waist, put the fox mask on his face, and said to Yi Qingchen, "Brother Xue, go save people, I'll resist for a while."

Yi Qingchen said in astonishment, "But..." Murong Qian handed Ye Mingzhu into Yi Qingchen's hands, and went straight out.

When Yi Qingchen chased him out again, he couldn't see anyone, so he had no choice but to run back to the last room. Sure enough, he saw that the floor of the whole room had collapsed, revealing the stairs embedded in the stone wall and the bottomless secret passage.
