As night falls, maybe some people who dare not show off during the day want to have fun at this moment.
Wan Qiliang and Xie were sitting in the room. Nothing unusual could be seen from the small holes in the windows and doors, but it was inexplicably unsettling. Perhaps it was because of the sense of oppression caused by the confined space. The expressions are all serious.
"Pavilion Master, there is no way for us to stay like this." Zhi's temper was somewhat unbearable. After waiting for an hour, it was normal to ask such a question, but how could he know what to do? This place was too weird. If she didn't go, no one would be able to get in, but she thought that since the eyeless man let them stay here, there must be a reason, so the only way now was to wait.
"But we have no way to leave here." Wan Qiliang sighed helplessly. He didn't expect that he would be so useless again and be completely imprisoned. If people like Ouyang Chengxi knew I'm afraid I'll wake up from the dream.
Speaking of Ouyang Chengxi, Wan Qiliang naturally thought of the Ouyang family. After all, they had a solid foundation. Just one mistake was not enough to cause the Ouyang family to collapse. She just wanted to cause a little trouble, but Now that she is not here, if she has been locked up for a long time without getting out, the situation will definitely turn towards the Ouyang family again, and she cannot sit still and wait for death.
Baili Ranfeng heard that the Situ brothers and sisters were in trouble with Wan Qiliang, so he hurried to the place they agreed on, but he arrived late. Not only was Wan Qiliang missing, but the Situ brothers and sisters also went back asking for trouble. , but the strange thing is that he couldn't find Wan Qiliang at all afterwards, and subconsciously thought that the Situ brothers and sisters had kidnapped Wan Qiliang, but with her ability, she shouldn't be able to capture her without mercy, so even if she was very worried , and he didn’t jump to conclusions so quickly.
If someone is sent to the Protector's Mansion to investigate, the Protector may accidentally find out. The two sons of the Situ family are not vegetarians, so it is better to go and find out what is going on.
Both Baili Ranfeng and Lord Protector worked for the emperor. They had almost no contact with each other in terms of literature and martial arts, and naturally had no hostile relationship. Therefore, Situ Haohui was really confused by Baili Ranfeng's sudden visit. Tight, naturally he didn't dare to let down his guard. After all, Baili Ranfeng had been in the limelight in recent years. He would not think about it himself. He also had to consider Situ Jianshi's position in the court. If he caused trouble to his son because of his relationship, If it's a powerful enemy, then it's really not worth it.
"I wonder why the Prime Minister came here this time?" The protector of the country was sitting in danger, and there was no difference from what he saw in the court. Baili Ranfeng felt that it would be good to talk about official business in this atmosphere, so he got straight to the point. .
"Did the Protector know that King Yan returned to the New Tang Dynasty?" Baili Ranfeng sent people to monitor Helian Yunjie after receiving the news. He didn't know much about Helian Yunjie, but the identity of King Yan was enough to make him aware of the situation. He became alert. Situ Haohui's expression changed. It was obvious that he didn't know about this, but Baili Ranfeng didn't bother to tell whether it was true or false. After all, Situ Haohui knew better what position Helian Yunjie should be placed in. Before deciding on the heir apparent, Situ Haohui had become friends with Helian Yunjie. However, Helian Yunjie's mother-in-law's natal family did not have much power, and in the eyes of the late emperor, he himself was not a master who knew how to govern the country. Therefore, the position of emperor naturally fell on the more outstanding Helian Yunqian.
"Where did the Prime Minister get the news? Is this news accurate?"
"If Lord Protector has not received the news, it can only be said that King Yan's power has developed to a certain extent." Baili Ranfeng sipped the tea, but did not miss the expression on Situ Haohui's face. He looked like I really didn’t know, but now that I know it, it’s a reminder to him, lest he get excited and do something incompetent.
"There's nothing wrong even if King Yan comes back, right? The prime minister is probably overly worried." Situ Haohui didn't believe that the eldest prince who he almost watched grow up would do something treacherous. He thought back then, the late emperor had He was sent to the border, and he didn't complain at all. But if he was pretending all this, then his acting skills were really good and he deceived everyone. Thinking about it this way, Helian Yunjie has indeed become potential danger.
"Yes, it seems that the truth has never set foot in the Duke Protector's mansion. As the master, can the Lord Protector take me, a guest, around?" This is his purpose. If Wan Qiliang is here, he will definitely be able to You just have to notice it.
"Uh..." Situ Haohui paused. He couldn't figure out what Baili Ranfeng meant. But since the guests had said so, what else could he refuse, "Please come here. What's wrong with my mansion?" It’s worthy of the atmosphere of the Prime Minister’s Mansion. If the Prime Minister doesn’t mind, come and see it with me.”
Baili Ranfeng pretended to be casually following Situ Haohui around, but in fact he didn't miss every plant or tree here. But if Wan Qiliang wasn't here, no matter how carefully he looked, there would be no results, but even if he Knowing where Wan Qiliang is, there is probably no way to rescue her.
Wan Qiliang was locked in the room, and he clearly felt hungry in his belly. Logically speaking, it would not matter if a martial artist skipped one or two meals, but he felt very hungry for no reason, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at the table. It didn't matter. She found that the demon was also staring at the pile of food, which made her feel that something was wrong.
"You're hungry too, aren't you?" Although Wan Qiliang said it as a question, his tone was very sure, but neither of them dared to touch the things on the table casually. The luster of the food did look very tempting. , but it’s that kind of luster that makes people want to retreat, and even feels like they’ll be doomed after just one bite.
"Yes." Zhi answered simply. When he was on a mission, he didn't eat for five days and five nights, and it couldn't be compared to the strong feeling of emptiness in his stomach for two hours after entering here. For a few moments, he When he saw the food on the table, he wanted to reach out and grab it, but he still endured it.
"It seems that we are still affected by this place after all." Wan Qiliang originally wanted to launch the flare that the demon carried with him, but he could indeed poke a hole in the window, but nothing could be thrown out. It seemed that there was a layer As if something was blocking them, Wan Qiliang tried something else. Except for the things originally in this room that could be thrown out, nothing else worked. This really cut off their escape route.
"Pavilion Master, do you have the feeling that the power in your body seems to be disappearing in a very slow way? After staying here for more than two hours, my subordinate's internal power has disappeared by almost 1%, but it is really The earth has disappeared, and if we never have a way to leave, we will become useless sooner or later." In such an environment, the only option left is to share the joys and sorrows, and the demons don't care so much about the distinction between master and servant. The top priority is to leave here. There is no other choice.
After listening to this, Wan Qiliang felt her internal strength, which seemed to have been lost more than that of the demons. She didn't notice it at first, but now it seems that it is the loss of strength that makes these foods more delicious. The person who created this place People really take great pains.
Wan Qiliang was about to speak when she suddenly heard a strange sound coming from outside the room. She and Zhi looked out through the small hole in the door and saw people in white clothes passing by their door one by one. His face seemed to be coated with white powder, and his red lips were so bright that they could drip blood. This scene could not help but remind Wan Qiliang of the ghost stories he had heard before. They were all ghosts with nowhere to go, and they could only take advantage of the silence of the night. They can only go out for a walk when they are young, so they all look like they are unconscious.
One, two, three... There were actually as many as nineteen people in white walking past their door. They all had white faces and red lips, and it even seemed like they looked exactly the same.
Wan Qiliang was a woman after all, and seeing her was frightened, and cold sweat seemed to break out on her back. The wind blowing from the window made her back feel unusually cold, and her face became unsightly.
Isn't it weird? Before the two of them had time to digest the scene just now, they heard another burst of whimpering coming from outside, mixed with the cries of women and children. They were crying so heart-breakingly that they were struggling to survive, as if they had encountered something terrible. It’s the same hard thing as before. No matter how much I cry, I can’t vent my resentment and grievances.
Wan Qiliang and Zhi could only listen. Even if they blocked their ears, they could still hear their cries clearly. The cries, without sound, were like a hard knock on their hearts, which was bound to make them sad. They hurt together. There was a lot of sweat on the foreheads of the two people, but the crying seemed to be endless, and it always had the same tone, which made people feel panicked.
Wan Qiliang covered her heart, feeling her heart beating irregularly, as if it was about to burst out of its confinement, but if it really burst out, she wouldn't have to live. She had no choice but to silently recall the meditation method in her mind, but no matter how many times she repeated it, she still felt nothing. Just when she thought she was about to die, the crying suddenly stopped, but was replaced by more noisy movements, like If you listen carefully to the sound of men beating and scolding, you may still hear the dirty words in their mouths. If this sound comes before the cry, Wan Qiliang may still feel that there is some plot, but such an appearance , apart from making the two of them irritable, it seems to have no other purpose.
"Can you still hold on?" Wan Qiliang asked softly. The demon's face had turned blood red. He might burst his blood vessels and die if he endured any more stimulation. I'm afraid he was about to reach the limit of his tolerance.
"Pavilion Master... don't worry, my subordinates... can still... hold on." He really didn't have the confidence to say this, because he was really not sure whether he would go to see the King of Hell the next moment after he finished speaking. This way of death is still not possible What a coward. If a few other people knew about it, they would laugh out loud.
Wan Qiliang now feels that she can't even perform a simple action like smiling, otherwise she will get heart-piercing pain. She doesn't think her current image will be much better. Big drops of sweat are pouring from her forehead. It slipped down and the hair stuck to the face, which must have looked very embarrassing.
The man's beating and scolding hadn't stopped yet, but all the lights in the room were extinguished inexplicably. With the moonlight, Wan Qiliang could barely see where the demon was, and couldn't even see clearly what he looked like now. , and she was in so much pain that she couldn't move. Even knowing that the sprite was there would be of no help.
The sound began to change again, and now it became the sighs of many people. It seemed that every sound they heard had serious negative emotions, affecting their mood and state, so sooner or later they would be played by these sounds. Death, but even though they were tortured like this, they couldn't even feel the possibility of falling asleep. This meant that they had to accept this kind of torture forcefully, and it was impossible to even escape.
The alternating sounds lingered around them, and the demonic sound pierced their ears. Wan Qiliang felt the faint smell of blood at the end. Could it be that he couldn't bear it anymore? It seems that the training that the master gave her in the past was really childish. His proud disciples and subordinates were both buried in this unknown and weird teahouse. Do you know if he would just vomit blood and die to be buried with them
