Chapter 29

Ji Baiyu and I were arrested, and he was injured again. Now the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for us.

"Are you okay?" I looked up at his haggard face and heavy breathing, and couldn't help worrying.

"It's okay!" He smiled miserably, coughed a few times, and said slowly: "Although Wu Guozhang's stick is strong, it didn't hit my vitals. I have a small purple bottle on me, which contains elixir for wounds , help me take it out."

I nodded, and hurriedly found the medicine bottle and gave it to him.After taking it, he sat quietly and adjusted his breath, and there was no sound for a long time.

While he was recovering from his wounds, I looked out through the crack of the door, and saw that in the courtyard, which was only a few feet square, the four corners of the east, west, north and south were full of guards holding sharp weapons.

"What are you looking at?" At this moment, Ji Baiyu's voice suddenly came from behind me.

I quickly turned around, ran over and said, "Are you feeling better?"

He nodded slightly and said: "After taking the medicine, I have recuperated for a long time, and there is no serious problem."

I blinked my eyes and said, "I don't know if the head of the country is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. He thinks he can stop us by arranging some little guys outside?"

Ji Baiyu smiled lightly and said, "The head of the state has always been thoughtful and cunning. I'm afraid the arrangement outside is not just as simple as these young people."

I snorted, and said, "You mean, he has also set up a net where we can't see it?"

"That's right, I think we'll be trapped if we can't go out ten steps. Of course," Ji Baiyu said in a long voice, "He's also trying to lure our rescuers into the bait, so that we can catch them all at once."

I smiled and said, "Then he made a wrong calculation, because no one dares to rescue us."

Ji Baiyu said lightly: "That's not necessarily the case!"

I was stunned and asked, "You mean..."

Unexpectedly, only half of the words were spoken, and there was a loud shout outside.I hurried to the crack of the door to have a look, and saw dozens of masked men in black descending from the sky, and then they were already fighting with the guards with flashing knives.

"These men in black were probably sent by you, right?" I was surprised.

Ji Baiyu smiled faintly, but remained silent.

Suddenly, the floor at the southeast corner of the side hall collapsed with a bang, and then a tall man with a beard of medium stature jumped out.

"Who are you?" I asked in astonishment, and then leaned closer to Ji Baiyu.

Ji Baiyu turned his head and said softly, "Don't be afraid, we are one of our own."

My own?I raised my eyes and looked at the big man again, as if he looked like a bad guy.

The big man stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "The eldest son was shocked, it's not too late, let's go now."

Ji Baiyu smiled slightly and said, "Lao Xu is in charge." After that, he dragged me into the tunnel with the big man.

The tunnel is so narrow that one can barely pass by crawling.Moreover, it was stuffy and hot in there, and I was already sweating profusely when I came out.exhausted.

That tunnel leads from the side hall all the way to the imperial garden.According to Commander Na Xu, he originally wanted to dig the tunnel all the way outside the city wall.However, since the manpower is limited, we may not be able to rescue us before dawn; when we arrive, there are heavy guards guarding the city wall, fearing that they will find out.

Ji Baiyu nodded and let the commander go.Seeing that person leave, I asked: "Could it be that you have arranged everything long ago?" At the same time, I wondered in my heart whether he was injured on purpose?
Ji Baiyu smiled and said, "You want to ask me if I got hurt on purpose?"

Embarrassed, I scratched my head and said with a smile, "I really can't hide anything from you."

Ji Baiyu smiled and said: "I always knew that the head of the country is suspicious and cunning, so I made two preparations. Unexpectedly, the head of the country is too powerful, so we were still captured. But fortunately, Commander Xu has been following us in secret, otherwise We are in danger."

At this moment, I suddenly said: "It turns out that those men in black were sent by Commander Xu to make a fuss! Then, he can save us through the tunnel?"

Ji Baiyu smiled, but didn't answer.Oh, how stupid I am!I sneaked a glance at Ji Baiyu, and suddenly said, "Then where are we going now?" I looked around as I spoke.

Ji Baiyu shook his folding fan lightly, and said slowly: "We are missing, so the guards in the palace must be stricter now, so we can't escape. Let me think about it..."

Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, "Come with me!"

"Where are you going?" I muttered in a low voice, but he had already dragged me away.

At this time, the sky was covered by dark clouds, and everything was pitch black.Suspiciously, I looked left and right, for fear that a man-eating monster would come out of some corner.

Ji Baiyu pulled me, turned around a corridor lightly, then turned a corridor, and finally stopped in front of a large hall.

"What is this..." I want to ask, what is this place.

Ji Baiyu waved his hand and made a silent gesture.Then, after looking around, I gently pushed the door of the palace open and pulled me in.

Inside, the lights are dark and blind, and nothing can be seen clearly.I accidentally knocked over the table.Ji Baiyu hurriedly turned around to lead me, and pulled me aside to sit down.

"Where is this place?" I asked.

"It's the Imperial Study Room." Ji Baiyu said.

"The royal study?"

"The imperial study is an important place in the palace, and generally no one will come. We can rest assured that we can rest overnight and talk about it tomorrow morning."

I nodded, yawned, crawled on the table and gradually lost consciousness.

I don't know how long it took, and I suddenly felt a chill, and then the sound of fighting came from my ears.

what happened?I was startled, could it be that old fellow Wu Guozhang came after him?I stood up vigilantly, turned around and saw Ji Baiyu and Qianmianhu were already fighting together.

"Thousand-faced fox?" I shouted in amazement.

"Stinky girl, do you think you can escape from my old lady's palm?" Thousand-faced fox Huhu clapped two palms, and then flew straight towards me.

I was shocked and hurriedly drew my sword to protect myself.As soon as Qianmianhu's steel claws intersected with my long sword, Ji Baiyu grabbed her legs, and then she floated in the air and turned around a few times, only to hear a bang, her body shot out.

Ji Baiyu walked vigorously in front of me.The thousand-faced fox grinned grinningly. With its feet on the pillar, it borrowed strength, followed by a few slaps, and hit us.

The thousand-faced fox's palm was windy and fierce, Ji Baiyu didn't dare to take it hard, and scattered the folding fan in his hand, and then several white lights shot out.But that thousand-faced fox is really powerful, and she didn't have many, so she quickly changed her palm, and then wrapped her long sleeves, and she had caught all those iron fan leaves.

"Haha!" Thousand-faced fox said with a long laugh, "Be sensible, hurry up and catch him, otherwise I won't eat meat for a long time."

Look, if we don't work hard, we won't be able to get out.Ji Baiyu and I dodged to the two sides, and then attacked her left and right.

Qianmianhu raised his eyebrows, turned his wrist, and hooked his five fingers to grab our face.Ji Baiyu kicked her in the chest with her legs in a row.

Qianmianhu returned his palm quickly, grabbed my long sword with one hand, and Ji Baiyu with the other, and struck out with a force, only to hear a loud bang, bang, and we both hit the bookcase.

When did the thousand-faced fox become so powerful?I looked at her in astonishment.A cold light flashed in her eyes, and she leaned over to attack us.

Ji Baiyu reacted quickly, quickly grabbed the table and chair and threw it at her.That thousand-faced fox really didn't grow up a vegetarian, it didn't dodge, its palms were everywhere, only a few kerala sounds were heard, and the round table was torn apart.

Seeing that the situation was not good for us, Ji Baiyu put his arms around me and broke out through the window.

But who would have thought that the leak in the house happened to rain all night, and even a sip of cold water would get stuck between the teeth.At this time, the head of the state hurried over with a group of people, and happened to meet us face to face.

"Where do you two want to go?" Wu Guozhang raised his mouth and smiled coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the thousand-faced fox floated out with a grinning grin, and said viciously: "Black Bat, let's stay safe!"

Wu Guozhang was shocked when he saw the thousand-faced fox, and said in astonishment, "You...how did you escape?"

"Haha..." Thousand-faced Fox said coldly, "You think you can trap me with just your little purple gold bottle? Hmph, you underestimate my Thousand-faced Fox too."

Wu Guozhang revealed his identity to Qianmianhu, how could he not be angry?He snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Smelly lady, I won't make you laugh right now."

After speaking, he waved his cane, and the group of guards yelled several times and rushed towards us.How could those officers be Qianmianhu's opponents, only to see Qianmianhu's sleeves swaying lightly, and several guards fell down in response.

Seeing that the guard was knocked down by her, the head of the state turned his long stick and slammed at the thousand-faced fox.Qianmianhu turned slightly to one side, pulled and pushed with the strength of the staff, and already dissipated the strength of the abbot.

Wu Guozhang yelled, he floated up in the air, and then raised his hand to recite the formula, only to hear a whoosh sound, the walking stick quickly attacked the lower body of the thousand-faced fox.

Qianmianhu sneered slightly, tapped his feet to the ground, jumped back, and then rolled out two long silks, firmly restraining Wu Guozhang's long staff.

Surprised and angry, Wu Guozhang hastily waved his hand and pulled the steel rod.Unexpectedly, as soon as the head of the country touched the cane, two red palms on the opposite side took advantage of the situation to slap.Wu Guozhang reacted quickly, seeing that something was wrong, he hurriedly dodged sideways, but the palm was too fast, no matter how fast he was, he was already hit in the lower abdomen.Then he leaned over and slammed into the screen wall in front of the hall.

Seeing that the master was injured, those guards left us alone and went straight to besiege Qianmianhu.Qianmianhu's eyes turned red, he used his palm to grab the sword on the ground, and stomped his feet.Hearing several screams, the dozens of guards leading the battle had been shot through the heart and died.The rest tremblingly gathered around, not daring to approach.Qianmianhu didn't even look at them, and walked straight to Wu Guozhang.

"Black Bat, don't you want my inner alchemy? I'm here right now, you're here to get it!" Qianmianhu gave him a ruthless glance and smiled.

"You...you have practiced the Red Flame Palm?" the black bat said in horror.

"That's right! It's all thanks to you. If it wasn't for the aura in the purple gold bottle, how could I have refined the Scarlet Flame God Palm so quickly?" The corners of Qianmianhu's mouth trembled slightly, and he slowly approached Wu Guozhang .

Looking at her eyes, I know that Wu Guozhang will be decapitated soon.However, at this moment, from the southeast corner of the palace, a group of giant bats with huge bodies and red eyes suddenly flew over in darkness.

Seeing the bat army coming to rescue, the black bats smiled and blew the whistle, and the group of bats suddenly attacked the thousand-faced fox.Thousand-faced fox hastily pulled out the long silk, and attacked the group of monsters.

Taking advantage of this gap, the black bat turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.

Then, there was a sound of bells in the clouds, followed by another group of bats flying from the north.The group of bats didn't care about the three sevens and twenty ones, they would bite anyone they saw, but in a short while, the remaining guards were all killed, and they sucked not a drop of blood left.Those guards instantly turned into pieces of dry skin.

I had never seen such a bloody scene, and I couldn't help but froze.Ji Baiyu quickly lit the fire in his hand and threw it into the sky.But the strange thing is that this time the bats are not afraid of fire, they still flap their wings and attack us.Seeing that the situation was not good, Ji Baiyu shouted, "Quickly enter the imperial study!"

I woke up suddenly, and retreated into the hall while swinging my sword to fend off the bats.We were about to close the door, when a white light flashed suddenly, the thousand-faced fox flew in, and with a wave of palm, the door was closed heavily.

Ji Baiyu and I were startled, and immediately stood aside vigilantly, closing the hilt of the sword, ready to make a move at any time.

Qianmianhu sneered and said, "What? Just because of you two half-dead people, do you want to hurt me?"

I looked back at Ji Baiyu, saw that he was breathing heavily and his face was haggard, my heart sank.Now that the enemy is at hand and Ji Baiyu is injured again, the situation is very unfavorable to us, it seems that we have to find a way.Thinking of this, he said with a thought: "Sister Fox, we know that we will not be able to escape from your grasp this time. But, as the saying goes, one more person is more powerful, if you subdue us all , do you think you can deal with the hundreds of vampire bats outside?"

Qianmianhu smiled slightly and said: "Little girl, are you underestimating my old lady too? How can I be afraid of a few stinky bats?"

I smiled and said, "That being said, didn't you come in too? If you have the ability, why don't you go out and kill that monster right now?"

"You!" The thousand-faced fox frowned, licked its paws and shouted sharply: "Don't think I dare not kill you!"

I ignored her, and said to myself: "Since our biggest enemy is the black bat. I don't think so, let's form an alliance for the time being. How about we wait until we defeat the group of monsters outside?"

Qianmianhu looked at me suspiciously for a long time. At this time, the screaming outside the door became more intense, presumably a lot of bats came again. "Okay, I'll agree for now! But, don't try to play tricks!" Qian Mianhu glanced at the door and threatened.

I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, turned my head to look at Ji Baiyu, saw him smile approvingly, and nodded.

"Then how do you plan to defeat the enemy?" Qianmianhu said loudly.

Ji Baiyu said calmly: "It's not difficult to defeat the enemy, as long as you are willing to make a move."

"How do you say?" Qianmianhu asked with interest.

"The blood bats this time seem to have undergone special training, so it is useless to use ordinary fire to deal with them. But you are an ancient god fox, and you already have the real fire of Samadhi in your body. As long as you use the real fire in your body with the red flame god If you hit the palm, I believe you will be able to defeat the enemy." Ji Baiyu said.

Qianmianhu couldn't help being startled when he heard him tell his own background, but then he calmed down and said: "What a boy, you are worthy of being the descendant of the Emperor, and you can tell my background."

Ji Baiyu said lightly: "Who doesn't know the ancient god fox Tushan clan? It's a pity that you have turned to the demon lord Yanhuo."

Thousand-faced fox told him how weak he was, and couldn't help snorting coldly.

At this time, Wu Guozhang's voice came from outside: "Listen, people inside, you have nowhere to go now, quickly disarm and surrender! Otherwise, the taste of being sucked dry of blood will be unpleasant! Haha..."

Qianmianhu frowned, and with a flick of his sleeves, the person was already outside the door.I only heard her scolding loudly: "Ugly, look at me if I don't clean you up!"

I threw it to the door and lay down on the crack of the door to have a look, and saw the thousand-faced fox palm Fengxi, killing those monsters with the red flame palm.Wu Guozhang, no, I mean the black bat, which has now shown its original shape and is watching the battle from the clouds.When he saw Qianmianhu using his red flame palm, he was shocked and hurriedly rang the bell in his hand.When the bat heard the bell, it screamed several times, then flew high into the sky with fluttering wings, and then patted it in a big circle.The bell rang again, and the bat screamed sharply, and swooped towards the ground like an arrow.

Seeing that group of bloodthirsty monsters in a threatening manner, I couldn't help but gasp, and became worried for the thousand-faced fox.But Qianmianhu didn't seem to care about them at all. She raised her left arm slightly, and a long silk came out of the fire, wrapping the bat layer by layer.

Hearing the screams of those monsters, his body instantly turned into burnt ashes.It was too late to say it, but it was so fast, the thousand-faced fox flew into the sky and quickly attacked the black bat.The black bat suddenly turned over, whistling with two palms, only to hear a bang, the two palms were already aligned.

"How's the situation?" Ji Baiyu asked in a deep voice.

After I told what I saw, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's leave now!"

Seeing that what he said was reasonable, I quickly supported him and walked out of the hall.Unexpectedly, as soon as we left the house, a strong force hit us, and we felt a pain in our chest, and we lost consciousness immediately.

I don't know how long it took, but I just felt a sharp pain in my chest. I struggled to get up and looked around, and saw that the sky was already dark, and a full moon was hanging on the tip of the mountain.

I looked around and saw Ji Baiyu lying beside me, not sure if he was dead or alive.I hurried over to shake him awake.

At this time, only a sneer came from the left.As soon as I looked up, I saw the thousand-faced fox looking at me quietly, and I couldn't help feeling cold. "You're awake!" She smiled meaningfully, "It's a pity, you will soon know what it means to be in pain."

"You... what do you mean?" I asked in amazement.

She looked up at the full moon, and said quietly: "I remember telling you before that the poison of the five poison pills only occurs on the night of the full moon." She pointed to the sky, "Do you see that today is the day of the full moon?" It's night."

I was stunned for a moment as if struck by lightning.

"Miss Ruoshui, have you really been poisoned by the five poison pills?" Ji Baiyu asked hastily.

I nodded blankly, feeling more and more pain in my chest, as if being pricked by countless needles.

Qianmianhu laughed and said, "Do you feel pain in your chest right now! But it's okay, it will hurt even more in a while."

"Thousand-faced fox, what exactly do you want? What about the antidote? Hand over the antidote quickly." Ji Baiyu shouted sharply.

Qianmianhu said, "I want to be a hero again! Well, I'll give you this chance. You see." He took out a red bottle and said quietly: "This is the antidote. But you have to promise me something." condition."

"What conditions!" Ji Baiyu asked.

"The Qiankun Pen!" Qianmianhu said solemnly, "As long as you hand over the Qiankun Pen, I'll give her the antidote, how about it?"

Ji Baiyu turned his head and looked at me, saw that I was writhing in pain and was in so much pain that he felt overwhelmed, and said loudly: "Okay, I promise! Here's the antidote."

Qianmianhu said coldly: "There's no rush. She won't die for a while. If you tell me where the Qiankun Brush is first, I will naturally keep my promise."

"No...don't." I pulled Ji Baiyu back and said in a trembling voice, "The most I can suffer is some flesh...flesh pain, she still doesn't dare...kill...kill me."

Qianmianhu raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "Okay, I want to see how this heartbreaking pain feels, whether it's good or not."

Ji Baiyu hugged me, and said softly: "I said, we are friends. The Qiankun brush is gone, you can find it again. Don't worry."

"But..."

"Don't worry!" He nodded.Then, he turned to Qianmianhu and said, "I hope you keep your promise."

Then, he turned to a wall and put me down.Then, he walked to the bookcase, turned the incense burner on the top three times to the left and right, and then heard a bang, and a hidden pavilion appeared on the wall. . .
