When Qi Ning was imprisoned, it was still a season of snow. In this flash, the ice and snow melted, and there was no trace of snow. The heavy rain only let Qi Ning know that the coldest season had passed.

After nearly two months in prison, I came out to breathe the rain with the breath of soil and trees, which really made Qi Ning feel refreshed. The umbrella was not big, but Qi Ning turned the umbrella sideways to Xiaodie, and half of his body was wet with the rain.

If it were during the day, the Wild Ghost Ridge in the rain might still have a beautiful scenery, but under the night, although Qi Ning has good eyesight, the distance she can see is actually not far.

Fortunately, Xiaodie has pointed out the direction of another mountain, and there is still a road between the two mountains, so you just need to follow the road to go there.

Although it is impossible to determine whether it is in the western region, Qi Ning judged that the Wild Ghost Ridge should still be in Xichuan. After all, Dizang has always been active in Xichuan, and his nest is naturally in Xichuan.

Moreover, there are many mountains in the southwest, and the peaks are steep, especially near the border area. The actual control of the court is not very strong, and many places are rarely visited. If Di Zang arranged his nest in these places, it would be difficult for people to notice.

Walking on the winding path, Qi Ning knew that although it was raining heavily, he was walking on the road with an umbrella and Xiaodie, and someone would definitely see it in the dark. In fact, he found at least twice along the way that someone appeared nearby, but those people obviously mistakenly thought it was their own people and did not take any action.

Qi Ning knew that hiding at this time would make people more suspicious. It is the safest choice to walk on the road so openly.

The facts proved that Qi Ning had no mistake in his judgment. He walked to the foot of another mountain. No one dared to come out to harass him along the way. There was a mountaineering path at the foot of the mountain leading to the mountain. It was not regular to manually carve out the stone level. Qi Ning stopped and whispered to Xiaodie: "Follow this road, the others should be locked up there. Xiaodie, stay here and wait, I'll go up the mountain to take a look."

He was unsure of the situation on the mountain, and he was not sure what situation he would encounter. He took Xiaodie up the mountain for fear of some accidents.

Xiaodie shook her head and said softly, "I'm with you." Although her voice was soft, she was extremely firm.

Qi Ning thought about it and it was not necessarily the safest thing to stay here. Although it was not a perfect solution to follow him, if he really encountered a situation, he could always protect her. He nodded and the two of them climbed up the stairs.

Although Xiaodie looked quite weak, she was not tired when she went up the mountain. Qi Ning knew that on this mountain, Xiaodie received intensity training and physical strength was really no problem.

After walking for a while, I suddenly heard a voice coming from the front: "Who is it?"

Qi Ning looked up. Although the rain had not subsided, he saw two figures appearing in front of him through the rain curtain. Qi Ning coughed and did not stop. He passed by. Xiaodie's psychological quality was also very strong. He deliberately dragged half of his body and stopped walking with Qi Ning. The rain immediately hit her.

Qi Ning knew that Xiaodie was doing it on purpose. Xiaodie was in a low status on this mountain, while the treasure-stricken boy was one of the six envoys of Ksitigarbha. If the two of them walked forward side by side, it would arouse the other's suspicion. Xiaodie was hit by heavy rain and could only feel pity in her heart.

When I walked up, I could see clearly at this time, but I saw that the two of them were all dressed in vegetarian clothes, straw raincoats, hats, and masks on their faces. They were all drawn in their hands. When I saw Qi Ning and the others were stunned at first, but quickly saluted: "I have seen a boy!"

Qi Ning knew that the other party had mistakenly recognized that he was the treasure boy. He coughed and glanced at him. He saw that there was indeed a cave not far ahead, blocking it with an iron railing gate. At this time, another thunder sounded. Qi Ning waited for the thunder to pass and said in a deep voice: "What about the prisoner now?"

"Reporting to the boy, everything is as usual, nothing is different." One person said respectfully: "There are people delivering food every day, and the three prisoners are also very honest."

Qi Ning thought to himself that this person said that there were three people locked up here, and Xuanyuan Po was naturally among them. Apart from Xuanyuan Po, Anau should also be here. Who is the other person? Is it Yin Wuji? Could it be that Yin Wuji was not dead, and he was also taken to Yeguiling to imprison?

Qi Ning nodded slightly, and did not stop. He went straight to the cave. Xiaodie followed closely behind. When the guard saw that the boy was brought by him, he naturally did not dare to stop him. When he saw that the boy seemed to be going in, a person had already rushed over and opened the iron railing gate.

Qi Ning said, "You two are here to guard. No one is allowed to enter without my instructions." His voice was cold, and he knew that the position of the treasure boy in this mountain was not low, so he naturally had to have a condescending dignity. The two guards quickly said yes.

Qi Ning handed the umbrella to one of them, and then led Xiaodie into it, and the two guards guarded respectfully outside.

After walking forward for a while, the stone path was slightly wider than the one I was in before. I looked back at Xiaodie and saw Xiaodie following behind him. I lowered my voice and said, "Sure enough, I've been confused."

Xiaodie also whispered: "When the boy sees us, he is very cold, just like you just now. Whenever someone makes a mistake, he will be severely punished, so the people on the mountain are very afraid of him."

Qi Ningxin thought that the boy Chibao had been in Fengjian Villa before and should not be in Yeguiling Ridge for a long time, and asked, "Has that boy been on the mountain?"

"We sometimes see him once every two or three months." Xiaodie whispered: "There are judges on the mountain, and they are usually in charge of the judges, but those judges are also afraid of boys."

"Judge?" Qi Ning suddenly remembered that when he was in the Qi family's old house in Xiangyang, the accountant Zhao Yuan was the judge who was lurking in the Qi family's old house. At that time, Zhao Yuan had already led people to completely control the Qi family's old house. He was always wondering why those monsters and monsters stared at the Qi family's old house?

Only when I heard Xiaodie say this did I realize that Dizang is not only a judge under him.

The judge Zhao Yuan lurked in the Qi family's old house, of course, it was a sect of Di Ksitigarbha. In other words, Di Ksitigarbha had long been focusing on the Qi family, and Zhao Yuan actually had been using the Qi family's fiefdom to make money.

To maintain the survival of the power, even a great master like Di Ksitigarbha requires money. Qi Ning concluded that there must be many people under Di Ksitigarbha to help make money and support the operation of this power. Zhao Yuan is naturally only one of them, but there are so many nobles in the world, why does Di Ksitigarbha choose to manage the family?

However, at this time he didn't have time to think about it. The two of them walked in for a while, but found that they had tried to form a cross and could continue to move forward, and there were forks on both sides of the left and right.

Qi Ning stopped, thought for a while, and continued to move forward, but the passage was getting narrower and narrower. In the end, there was a distance that only one person could pass through, which was very different from the place where Qi Ning was imprisoned.

The two of them walked through the narrow area, but suddenly a downward stone staircase appeared in front of them, and it was pitch black all around. Qi Ning frowned and turned around and said, "Xiaodie, the structure here is different from the one before. I don't know what's wrong with it. Just wait here, I'll go down and take a look first."

Xiaodie wanted to speak but stopped, and finally said softly: "I'm waiting for you here, you have to be careful."

Qi Ning agreed, then held the cold blade in his hand and walked down the stone stairs. The stone stairs were nearly a hundred levels, and they had already penetrated underground. There were no lights along the way, and it was pitch black. Qi Ning was fully alert. He went down to the depths and down to the last stone stairs, but the front was much wider. Qi Ning thought that this place was more secret than the place where he was imprisoned. He knew that there should be people in this place, but who was treated like this was really hard to guess at for a moment.

After walking forward in the dark passage for a while, I finally saw a dim fire light in front of me. The air underground was very turbid and smelled bad. When I walked to the end, a stone wall appeared in front of me. There were oil lamps hanging on the walls on both sides of the left and right. The lights were flickering, not bright. It was very cold here, and the flickering lights seemed quite gloomy.

At the bottom of the stone wall, there was indeed a small hole for delivering food, but there were stones blocking it. Qi Ning squatted down and pulled the stone out, and then it showed the entrance of the cave. No sound came out of it. Qi Ning pondered slightly, thinking that this person was locked up here, so he was naturally the enemy of Ksitigarbha. Even if it was not Xuanyuan Po or Yin Wuji, he was definitely not a Ksitigarbha. He immediately said softly: "Dare you ask which hero is inside?" It is natural that Ksitigarbha should be so concerned that she imprisoned her deep underground.

There was a silence inside, and Qi Ning thought that no one was locked in it. She coughed and asked again: "Which hero is inside? I am enemies and not friends with Dizang. If you can tell me your identity, I may be able to save you." I thought that no matter whether it is Xuanyuan Po or Yin Wuji, as long as you hear your words, you will definitely recognize your voice and will never be without any reply.

"Yes... is it the time for brocade clothes?" A weak voice came from inside, as thin as a mosquito ant. Qi Ning couldn't hear the other party's voice for a moment, but the other party could call out his identity at once. He was obviously very familiar with him, and he made his voice clear, and approached and said, "But Elder Taiyin?"

The voice inside said, "I...I am Xiang... Xiang Baiying!"

Qi Ning heard the three words "Xiang Baiying" clearly, his face suddenly changed, and he said in a lost voice: "Xiang Gang leader?" He immediately said: "Are you Uncle Xiang? I... I am Qi Ning, Uncle Xiang, how are you now?"
