They tied one end of the rope to the pillar, and called Fang Qi, who had completely won the trust of the father and daughter, and asked them to keep an eye out so that no one would have the opportunity to do anything with the rope on their way down. After that, they prayed for treasures.
Er and Twelve climbed down the rope one after the other.
Originally Qi Baoer wanted to go down alone, but after she raised this point, not only Twelve, the guard who had unknowingly become a father-in-law, disagreed, but Fang Qi and others also firmly opposed it.
So everyone took a step back, and finally changed to Twelve following Qi Bao'er.
It's not that he protects Qi Bao'er, but that he happens to be a god of the wind system. No one is more suitable than him for running errands.
After going down five or six meters, basically everything around you can no longer be seen clearly with the naked eye, and you can only judge the blurry situation around you based on your perception.
The two of them were not distracted and continued going down for about ten minutes. Finally, dim light and faint voices appeared under their feet.
The two people on the rope paused in unison, and Twelve quickly rolled up his feet to roll up the rope, which was about three meters away from reaching the ground.
"How come the people who went this time haven't come back for so long? It's been almost a month."
"It may be that there is a lot of silver and grain, so they have a hard time transporting it."
"It would be great if there were really many, and we could share some."
"You two idiots, can you survive for another month? They must have taken the opportunity to eat and drink out."
"What kind of good things are you thinking about? We, the lowest level, don't say that the money is not available to us, but the job of transporting the money is none of our business."
"Yes, hey, I heard that there will be a big task in a few days. It's fine if we are selected and promoted to an official position. If there are benefits, we can also shine."
"Yes, if you have a chance, you can share it, even if it's just one or two taels. I haven't been to the first floor of the flower shop for a long time. Little Taohong, I don't know if you can still remember me."
"Come on, how can people still remember you if you wipe the wrong eye? They only remember money."
"What, what? I look pretty good, too. I have a nose and eyes."
"Oh, why are you doing this while we are talking nicely?"
Several people came from the left holding torches, passed by the feet of Qi Bao'er and Twelve, and then slowly walked into the road on the right.
Even the sound of these people disappeared, and the two of them waited for a while before climbing down again.
After reaching the ground, he tightened the rope and shook it a few times. This was an agreement made with Fang Qi and others. When they were safe below, they pulled the rope and shook it, and then they retracted the rope and closed the tunnel door.
This is not a normal entrance and exit, so Qi Bao'er is not planning to climb up here again when he goes out.
Because there is a beloved Buddhist temple on the ground above, and the power of faith provided by the people has become its greatest protection, Qibaoer's spiritual consciousness has also been greatly affected in the temple;
From the original ability to 'see' everything in a city, after arriving at the temple, she could not say that she could see, but she could only perceive things within one or two meters around her.
Arriving underground, Qi Bao'er once again used his spiritual consciousness to explore. Maybe it was because this place no longer belonged to Putu Temple, or maybe the gods here didn't care about their feet. Qi Bao'er's spiritual consciousness was no longer suppressed this time.
She 'saw' the entire underground structure and the people inside, as well as the scene outside the cave, including several consecutive mountains, and even three-thirds of the city.
Only the Putu Temple overhead was still blocked by the power of faith.
It turns out that Putu Temple was built on top of an iron ore mine, but the iron ore mining tunnels were opened on the back of the mountain. To get to the back of the mountain from Putu Temple, you have to pass through the forbidden area of Putu Temple. There is a forbidden area.
According to Putu Temple itself, it is the place where the ancestors of their temple passed away.
In such a place, based on the common people's belief in Putu Temple, who else would go there?
Therefore, the back side of the mountain is completely separated from the possibility of exposure from the Putu Temple side, and the other places connected to the back side of the mountain are connected by mountains;
The Ghost Face Sect is stationed on another mountain further in.
Qi Baoer informed Twelve of the situation.
Twelve was silent for a moment and then said: "My subordinate, Mucheng, has asked around. There is a saying that there is a big demon that specializes in doing evil suppressed under the back mountain of Putu Temple. I also heard that someone has gone to that temple.
As a result, he was unable to come out of the mountain, and it is said that he was eaten by the big demon that suppressed him at the bottom of the mountain."
At that time, he didn't take these words to heart, thinking that they were just false rumors among the people.
Now it seems that those rumors were most likely done intentionally by someone.
The master and servant looked at each other and realized.
With the Putu Temple blocking the way in front, and the rumors of suppressing the great demon spreading in the back, could it be that no one dared to go up to the iron mines and the mountain where the Ghost Noodle Sect was hidden?
Even if there are one or two occasionally, they all disappear and they are just multiple coolies in the mine, making the rumors even more believable.
Thinking of this, Twelve glanced at Qi Bao'er, stamped his feet and asked excitedly: "Master, should we kill them directly?"
He wouldn't dare to say this if the person standing in front of him was someone else, but this person was a princess, and he could believe that she could hold off an army alone.
Qi Baoer raised his foot and kicked him speechlessly, "Is your master a thug?"
Whether she can survive the beating is another matter, but there are at least tens of thousands of people, so she can chop them all without moving, especially her hands, okay?
Twelve's calves were so painful that one of them jumped up and down, "Master, your kick is too harsh. If this subordinate is disabled, won't you have to waste your money on raising him?"
Qi Bao'er ignored his trick and walked towards the places where he had just disappeared, "I'll raise you, if you become disabled, I'll sell you as a flower shop on the first floor, just based on your appearance.
It can easily cost tens of thousands of taels."
Everyone was gone, so I didn't even bother to put on my clothes, so I hurriedly chased after him, but I was so pitiful that I still owed money while chasing.
"Master, you are too cruel."
"Don't you know, if the master is not ruthless, his position will be unstable."
twelve:"……"
Who said this?
However, regardless of whether it is crude or not, this is really the truth.
The two of them walked leisurely in the cave, one behind the other. Miraculously, yet not magically, Qibaoer could always perfectly avoid the people in front, behind, and around him.
After the two of them wandered around the cave for about half an hour, a dazzling light finally appeared in front of them, and they arrived at the exit or entrance, not sure whether it was the exit or the entrance.
Maybe it's the people here's trust in Hua Temple, but no one is guarding it, either openly or covertly.
The two of them got out of the cave easily and walked westward through the trees. After a quarter of an hour, they stopped at the top of a towering tree.
Looking down from here, looking at a place that seemed not far away, both Qi Baoer and Twelve saw a somewhat familiar scene.
Both of them were silent.
This is not much different from what they saw at the Lushan Iron Mine. To be more specific, the miners here look even worse than the miners they saw at Lushan.
All of them looked like numbness. Looking at the skull-like faces, they could see no other expression except numbness.
Some people were so tired that they fell down, and some supervisors also gave them a beating, but... they didn't hear a single cry of pain or plea.
The miners here can't see any light in their eyes.
