Listen to the king's order

dungeon

Dozens of ragged mountain people were trapped here with their hands hanging. They were half-soaked in the water, but there was nothing wrong with them other than that.

But compared to them, the man opposite was much miserable.

They stared tremblingly at the silent man. The man's white robe was half-stained red with blood. Two iron hooks passed through his lute bones, hanging him in the water forcefully. It was Jiang Qichen.

The few mountain people directly opposite Jiang Qichen seemed to be a little bit irritated, but right now they were in danger of protecting themselves, so they had no energy left to care about others.

They have been trapped here for many days, and the people who were taken away before never came back, it may be more or less unfortunate.

"This person hasn't moved for a long time, and I don't know if he is dead or alive."

"Even if he doesn't die now, he won't live long. Who do you think has come out alive?"

"He is different from us. Look at his clothes and appearance. He looks like a rich man. I don't know who offended someone here. He was locked up here."

"I said you still have the mind to worry about other people's affairs! I don't have a few days to live, so stop talking!"

"..."

Jiang Qichen lowered his head, frowning slightly, his thoughts were still clear.He was soaked in water from the waist down. Although his feet could touch the ground, his legs were sore and weak, and his entire weight was hanging on the iron hook that passed through the bone.

He closed his eyes slightly, silently counting the hours.

In another hour, his legs will be able to regain strength, and the restrained internal force will be able to recover.

But right now he didn't dare to move around, the two iron hooks were holding his shoulders, every slight movement would cause a dull pain.

Unexpectedly, Sha Sang locked him together with the captured mountain people, and now he didn't have to bother to find their traces.After only one hour, even if his skills recovered, he could barely protect himself. If he wanted to take all these mountain people out, it would be as difficult as climbing the sky.

Previously, the Tianyan Sect had sent Lan Xi to lead a team to Buxu Mountain to search for people. It would be much easier for them to find this place, but the entrance to the underground palace would not be so easy to find.

And on Lu Ming's side, he and Master Xuanyu have been taken away for so long, the news must have fallen into Lu Ming's ears.Now I can only hope that Hua Wudao can keep an eye on him and not let him mess around.

However, what Jiang Qichen didn't expect was that Hua Wudao not only ignored Lu Ming, but also came with him.

Luo Ying walked at the front with a string of shining golden bells in her hands, and Lu Ming followed her.

He had been staring at the string of bells for a long time, but felt that the golden light on the bells seemed much stronger than when Luo Ying just took them out.

Luo Ying seemed to have seen the suspicion in Lu Ming's eyes, glanced at him lightly, and said to him, "The golden bell is connected to the formation eye at the entrance of the underground palace, the closer it is to the entrance, the brighter the golden light will be."

Lu Ming nodded clearly and turned his gaze forward.

It seems that what Luo Ying said is indeed true, if it is not someone from the Golden Lotus Sect, it may be difficult to find the entrance to the underground palace.

With luck in Lu Ming's palm, Hua Wudao gave him another bowl of medicine before leaving. At this moment, true energy circulated throughout his body, and his internal strength increased by [-]% in just half a day.

They had already walked for half an hour. The Hero Terrace was in the center of Chen Guo.

The light on the golden bell in Luo Ying's hand is getting brighter and brighter. If someone is looking at the sky from below, they might think that there are shooting stars passing by in the sky.

"It's here, right here."

The golden light in Luo Ying's hand was already shining to the extreme, she put the bell into her cuff: "Go down."

Lu Ming followed Luo Ying's gaze and glanced down. Is this a house?He immediately followed, and his footsteps landed on the eaves lightly.

"This is..." Lu Ming murmured, turned his head to look at Hua Wudao, but met his strange expression: "Did we come from here that day?"

Hua Wudao carried Luosha on his shoulders, and his eyes dodged a little: "That's right, it's dark and I can't see clearly."

But Lu Ming only thought that he carried Luo Sha all the way, feeling unhappy, and didn't think about it.He nodded, and jumped off the eaves, kicking up dust as soon as he landed.

"This house seems to have been abandoned for a long time." Lu Ming fanned the raised dust casually, and looked around, seeing that everything he saw was barren.

Suddenly, his eyes were suffocated, and his whole body seemed to be pinned.Although the years have passed, the deep knife marks on the courtyard walls and wooden doors can be vaguely seen, as if a knife and a sword were forcefully drawn on his heart.

The tooth marks on Lu Ming's wrist suddenly became hot, and his forehead was also aching.

The abandoned house in front of him, wrapped in the night, gradually overlapped with the nightmare that haunted him day and night.

He suddenly remembered the study room that he came out of the underground palace that day. He had a very familiar feeling just by looking at it at that time, as if he had crawled and rolled there day and night.

Bei Chen, an abandoned house.It is self-evident where this is.

Lu Ming's face suddenly turned cold, as if something was stuck in his chest, clamoring to escape from there.He took a few shallow breaths, trying to make himself look normal: "This is Beichen Huo's house?"

Hua Wudao responded with "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm)", he urged: "Who cares about the Huo family or the Li family, hurry up and follow that aunt, you don't want to look for Jiang Qichen anymore!"

Lu Ming cast a secretive look at Hua Wudao, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and followed Luo Ying without squinting.

I saw Luo Ying walking up to a door, she didn't push the door open, but just stretched out her delicate palm, and placed the seal on the door, the wooden door suddenly glowed with golden light, and it was the entrance of the underground palace. eyes.

Hua Wudao spat in his heart: "Didn't the entrances and exits of the underground palace change everywhere? Why come here and go here, what a chance!"

Luo Ying raised his foot, half of his body was submerged in the golden light, and then turned to look at Hua Wudao, who looked unkind, and Lu Ming, who was expressionless: "Mr. Lu, Luo Ying has a good word to say—I'll be in later!" Teach me, if I see brother Shasang, I hope Mr. Lu will not act impulsively."

Hua Wudao rolled his eyes angrily, and didn't give Luo Ying any face: "Impulsive ass! You have everyone in your hands, does he have the ability to be impulsive?"

Luo Ying smacked her lips, didn't say a word, just nodded slightly to Lu Ming, turned around, and disappeared into the golden light.

Lu Ming and Hua Wudao followed closely behind.

The light flashed, and Lu Ming's eyes dimmed. When he came back to his senses, he was already in the dark underground palace.

Different from the place I passed by when I went out last time, this place is obviously the main entrance of the underground palace right now.The front of the door is covered by black mountain stones, and a row of fiery red long lamps are lit on the stones, and the pattern of golden lotus can be vaguely seen on the lampshade.

Two rows of guards in black armor and holding halberds stood guard at the door.As soon as they saw Luo Ying, they put their left hands on his shoulders and called out neatly and respectfully, "Welcome to the Muslim Guardian Ying."

Luo Ying responded lightly, hooked her fingers, and the two leading guards immediately knelt in front of her on one knee, and only heard her say: "Guardian Sha is injured, take him down and settle down."

Hua Wudao threw the half-dead Luo Sha on the shoulders to the guards as if relieved, rubbed the sore shoulders, and still teased: "When she wakes up, I must tell her to eat less. The big girl's house is so heavy. , who would dare to ask for it in the future!"

The guards looked at him suspiciously when they heard the voice. Since the Golden Lotus Sect settled here, except for the last time someone broke in, there has never been a foreign teacher, let alone brought back by Yinghufa himself.

The guard lowered his head: "Guardian Baby, I heard that you and Guardian Sha were attacked and captured at the Hero Terrace earlier this morning. The elder fired a big fire. The soldiers are all ready and are about to ask for someone! Fortunately, you have to have all The tail is back, and this subordinate will report to the elder."

"Wait a minute." Luo Ying stopped him: "I'm going to meet the elder in person, where is he now?"

"The elder just ordered soldiers, and he should be in the main hall now."

Luo Ying: "Okay, I see."

Lu Ming followed behind Luo Ying, his eyelids had been twitching wildly ever since he heard the guards say that Sha Sang had made a big fuss.

Jiang Qichen had been missing for a day and a half, and he couldn't imagine how tortured that man would be if he fell into Shasang's hands.He didn't know what Sha Sang's purpose was, if it wasn't enough to rob Master Xuanyu, he also took Jiang Qichen away.He just thought that if because of his impulsiveness, he asked the person he put on the cusp of his heart to suffer for him, then he would never be able to forgive himself even if he died.

Just thinking about it, Lu Ming felt that it was difficult to breathe, as if an invisible hand was tightly strangling his throat, and even the throbbing in his chest became dull, accompanied by slight pain, dragging Touching the tendons all over his body.

Luo Ying stopped in front of the main hall, straightened his clothes slowly, and then said to the guards beside him, "Go and tell the elders that I'm back."

The guard got the order, pushed the door open and went in, and trotted out after a while: "Guardian Ying, the elder told you to go in."

Hearing this, Luo Ying nodded to Lu Ming and Hua Wudao behind him, and entered the hall first.

Sha Sang was dressed in a purple robe, sitting upright in the hall.He has a handsome appearance, and his complexion is much darker than when we first met.The first time he saw Luo Ying, he immediately stood up from the chair, his gloomy face softened a bit, but his eyes became hot when he caught a glimpse of Lu Ming behind Luo Ying.The corners of his mouth curled up, showing an expected smile, and the haze that had enveloped him before was swept away.

Lu Ming looked at him coldly, feeling the instant excitement in that man's eyes, and his body was even colder.

Luo Ying knelt in front of Sha Sang on one knee, stroking his shoulder with his left hand: "Brother Sha Sang, Luo Ying came back late and failed to complete the task, which caused the death of 48 Ziwei members of my teaching team. Please punish me."

"En." Sha Sang replied from the depths of his throat, with a hint of laziness: "It is best if you are safe and sound. What's more, you brought a baby back, how can I be willing to punish you? "

With that said, he pulled Luo Ying up from the ground.Passed her again and walked straight to Lu Ming.

As soon as Hua Wudao entered the door, he felt that Sha Sang was looking at Lu Ming with something wrong, and hearing his undisguised greedy tone, he frowned and stood in front of Lu Ming.

The corners of Sha Sang's eyes slightly raised, and he looked at Hua Wudao: "Hmm...why there are always people from the Tianyan Sect making trouble here."

Hua Wudao grinned, and winked at Sha Sang: "Hey, why did Elder Sha say that, anyway, we met once, so you won't give face."

"Well, that's right." Sha Sang nodded approvingly, straightened his cuffs: "Then tell me, how can I save face?"

Hua Wudao rubbed his chin, as if he was thinking: "As the saying goes, 'it's easy to borrow, it's not difficult to borrow again.' My master and younger brother have lent you a day, if you don't return it to me, then Don’t point at them to play with you again in the future.”

"Hehe." Sha Sang chuckled: "Your Master Xuanyu Daoist is an old acquaintance with our lord, and he came back with me voluntarily. As for the junior you mentioned, if I read correctly, he should be Nanchen's." Patriarch Jiang Qichen is not from the Sky Eye Sect."

"Hey, you don't know anything about this!" Hua Wudao climbed onto Sha Sang's shoulders like he was familiar with it, and pulled him over to face Lu Ming: "He, he has been in our Tianyan sect since he was a child." , but, as you should have seen, his legs and feet are not good, so he was sent home. But there is another sentence, "a teacher for a day and a father for life", no matter what he has to call me master' Master', call me 'brother'. How can you not be a member of the Tianyan sect, don't you think so?"

Sha Sang pondered for a while: "What you said seems to make some sense. Forget it, I don't mean it on him, so I won't embarrass him. But..."

Hua Wudao: "What's wrong?"

Sha Sang gently pushed Hua Wudao, his eyes were burning like torches, and his voice was like a ghost: "You have killed so many Ziweis of me, how will this account be settled?"
