Chapter 1751: One ran away
Chapter 1751: One ran away
The man outside the pass thought he could escape by jumping into the small dark room, but he didn't expect that before he arrived, someone had already come out from underground.
The sword in the secret guard's hand flashed and he raised it upwards.
The man outside the pass was shocked and quickly stepped back to avoid it.
This retreat was controlled by the silver ingot behind him.
"Don't move." The tip of the knife was against his lower back, piercing his clothes and skin.
The man outside the pass didn't dare to move anymore. He gritted his teeth and stared at the secret guard coming out from underground.
"It was hidden very well, but we still found it."
There were still grass leaves on his feet, which were only found outside.
The man outside the pass realized that he had come in from the outside exit.
My heart sank. It was all over.
Yan Ruyu also came out of the space, and Huo Changhe held her hand.
"Are you okay?"
The two said in unison.
Huo Changhe smiled and said, "I'm fine. That little hill can't hurt me."
Yan Ruyu nodded and glanced at Su Peipei beside her.
Su Peipei was still looking at her, Yan Ruyu sneered: "Don't worry, no one will snatch your Qiu Lang from you."
Qiu Keshi lowered his head, shrank back, and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible.
"Mr. Qiu, stop hiding. Go back and tell us about your situation."
Qiu Ke Shi opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say.
Yan Ruyu looked at Ming Liao and said, "And you, a monk, are so vicious and you are worthy of kneeling before the Buddha?"
Ming Liao gave a short laugh: "I worship my own God, what do you know?"
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other.
What she said just now was just a test. Yan Ruyu suspected that she was not from this dynasty. Now after hearing her say this, it turned out to be true.
Huo Changhe waved his hand: "Take them all back."
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe still have to go to the dark room downstairs to take a look.
They were tied up one by one with silver ingots and marched out.
Yan Ruyu walked into the small dark room, took out a small flashlight, and shone it downwards.
The passage is not long and not particularly dark, and there are lights below.
The two of them went down to the bottom floor. It was not very big, about the size of a room, and was simply furnished with a table, chairs, a simple bed, bedding and so on.
I didn't see any women.
The exit found by the secret guard is still open.
Yan Ruyu looked outside and saw another mountain road, but she didn't know where it led to.
Huo Changhe whispered, "It looks like he has walked here countless times. He must have transported people away from here."
Yan Ruyu also thought: "Let's go back and examine it first, but I don't know if we can find out the answer."
It's hard to say for Huo Changhe either. Guishou hasn't revealed the truth yet, so it's really hard to interrogate him.
Some people are not not afraid of death, but there are things that scare them more than death.
The two men walked back to the ruined temple, closed the mechanism, and restored it to its original state of a wall.
Just as he was about to leave, Huo Changhe suddenly stopped.
Yan Ruyu asked, "What's wrong?"
Huo Changhe took the small flashlight from her hand and shone it on the ground to look carefully.
I saw a very thin mark, as if something was dragged and scratched the ground, leaving a thin and deep scratch.
The trail leads straight to the statue.
The two looked at each other and immediately felt that there might be more than one secret room here.
Yan Ruyu followed the traces to the statue and searched around it carefully.
The statues were damaged and covered with dust, but there was one place that was obviously much cleaner than the others.
It must be because of frequent touching.
"I come."
Huo Changhe gave the flashlight to Yan Ruyu and asked her to move away.
Hold that place with your hand and try to move it to the side.
Sure enough, there was a slight "click" sound, and the base of the statue moved to the left and right, revealing a passage.
Yan Ruyu shone the flashlight down: "Is there anyone there?"
Wait a moment and shout again.
No one answered, and just as I was about to go down to check, I heard a "bang" sound from downstairs.
"There's movement." Yan Ruyu took out a rope, tied one end on it, and threw the other end down.
Huo Changhe picked up the rope: "I'll go."
"Together."
It wasn't particularly deep, so Huo Changhe could have just jumped down, but Yan Ruyu was worried about other traps, so it would be safer to use a rope.
When the two landed, the scene in front of them made Yan Ruyu frown deeply.
This dark room was smaller than the previous one, but it was crowded with a dozen women, most of whom had their eyes closed, and it was unclear whether they were dead or alive.
Only two were conscious, but their mouths were gagged and their hands and feet were tied.
The noise just now was caused by them.
Yan Ruyu came over and quickly untied them.
"How is it? Are you injured? Can you walk?"
The two were so excited that tears started flowing before they spoke.
"No injuries, I can walk."
One of them looked at the unconscious people and said, "But they..."
Yan Ruyu realized that the situations of other people might be special.
"What happened to them?"
"We don't know either, but after they were taken up there, they were unconscious when they came down again and we couldn't wake them up no matter how hard we called them."
Yan Ruyu felt their pulse and found that they were not dead.
"Save them first."
Yan Ruyu first took the two women out, and then called the secret guards to help.
He ordered Yinding to find the mynah bird and send a message to the nunnery, asking the abbess to help prepare rooms for the women to stay there first.
The starling flew away, and Yan Ruyu also went down to help.
There was only one trip left, and when I just got up, Yinding ran over with a grim look on his face.
"Princess, it's bad. The nun ran away."
"Understood? Ran away?"
Yan Ruyu was surprised, she gritted her teeth and her eyes widened.
"I clearly tied it up. I was tying it up with pig ties. Who knew that it would just…"
"The rope is not broken, the buckles are still there, but the person is gone."
Yan Ruyu walked over to take a look, and sure enough, as Yinding had said, the rope had fallen to the ground, but the buckle was still tied.
But could this person have just turned into air and run away?
Huo Changhe also came over to see: "Have you asked other people?"
Yinding was annoyed: "There were too many people at the time, it was noisy, and I felt that we were all tied up, so I didn't pay much attention."
"This guy even deliberately moved to the side to avoid other people."
Huo Changhe looked at the rope and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Could it be... a bone shrinking technique?"
Yinding's eyes widened: "No way? That thing is very weird, ordinary people can't practice it at all. At that time, that person wanted to follow you..."
Huo Changhe glanced at him, and Yinding immediately pursed his lips and said nothing more.
Even though it was collected quickly, Yan Ruyu still heard it.
That who, who is it?
What do you want to tell Huo Changhe?
There is a story.
Yan Ruyu didn't ask immediately, pretending not to know: "Tell them to look everywhere, and also remind the abbot to be more careful and beware of revenge from this person."
Yan Ruyu has dealt with Ming Liao twice. This man is good at disguise, acting, and is cruel and ruthless.
Moreover, he also knows hypnosis.
She is indeed a dangerous person. If I had known earlier, I should have knocked her out and tied her hands and feet.
But it’s too late to say these things now. We are in the mountains and forests, so we can only try our best to search.
But everyone knows that it is extremely difficult to find someone in such a place late at night.
