At dawn, Wu Kuang heard slight footsteps behind him. Wu Kuang, who was sitting behind a thorn bush and watching, turned around and saw Cui You approaching after a night's rest. He immediately wanted to get up, but Cui You held his shoulder.
Cui You leaned over and sat next to him. He also looked at the hole in the basin covered with weeping rosettes through the gaps in the thorn bushes, and asked: "How is it?"
Wu Kuang: "It's still the same. There's basically no movement. It's just that there seems to be smoke coming out of the hole."
Cui You: "You go and rest, I'll keep an eye on you."
Wu Kuang stood up and squatted down again, "Deacon Cui, when will we take action?"
Cui You: "Keep waiting! You will naturally take action when it's time to take action. Go and rest."
Wait? Wu Kuang thought thoughtfully. It seemed that his judgment was correct. There was indeed an insider at Miao Qingtang.
"It's okay, I'll rest here as well."
…
Boom!
In the red underground space filled with smoke, a shadow flashed like a meteor, and slanted into the ground from the air. A metal can was half embedded in the ground, and then there was a rapid clang sound in the can, which shook the inlay on the ground.
The jar is loose and has a tendency to bounce up.
A figure flashed through the smoke, landed and stepped on the loose jar. His feet were filled with fire, and he stepped on them continuously.
After stepping on the burning soles, Yu Qing took out the cup lid from his belt and placed it on the ground. Bang! With one hand, he hit the cup lid into the ground. With his other hand, he slowly pulled out the part of the metal can embedded in the ground.
After it is flush with the ground, start to rub the ground and move the lid up. After the mouth of the cup is flush with the lid, immediately rotate the metal can, tighten it and pull it out, and the jar and lid can be completely pulled out.
Dangdangdangdang...
The banging noise in the metal can was obviously more intense than the previous two times. There was nothing we could do about it, because there were two fire crickets inside.
Yu Qing clicked his tongue twice while admiring the jar, his face full of joy and surprise.
He also didn't expect that when he ran around looking for fire crickets, he just thought that fire crickets did not live in groups, but unexpectedly two appeared in this place at once. Now it seems that the idea that fire crickets are not social animals can be broken.
Of course, there may be other reasons.
The reason why I was able to catch two fire crickets at once was because the two fire crickets that crawled out were a male and a female. They were caught in one net while they were mating together. Their reaction was much slower than when they were alone. I guess they were too forgetful.
There was no risk of escaping during the process, and the pair could catch them more easily. Yu Qing guessed that this opportunity would only occur during mating.
To him, it was not important. He took the things in his hand and flew away. He turned around and jumped on the island of the lava lake several times before returning to the exit. He walked to a pile of unused items.
Next to the wood, he threw the jar in his hand on the ground and moved a pile of wood to press it on top.
Ignoring the crashing sound under the wood, I turned around and headed towards the tunnel exit.
He walked leisurely all the way, and when he reached the exit, he stopped again and sat cross-legged on the spot to meditate.
After almost an hour and a half, the smoke had almost dispersed. Yu Qing took off the towel covering his face and tried to breathe. Although the air was not very clean, he could barely tolerate it, and then he stood up and continued on.
OK.
He did not conceal the movements of his walking. Tie Miaoqing and others outside the cave pricked up their ears one by one. After looking at each other, they stood up one after another and walked to the entrance of the cave to push aside the hanging vines and look inside.
They arrived at Yu Qing, who came and then stopped inside the cave.
Hearing no sound of the jar hitting Yu Qing, several people immediately got in. Tie Miaoqing hesitated and said: "Ashiheng, is it not..." He stopped talking.
Yu Qing sighed: "There is indeed one inside, but catching this one may be a bit troublesome. We may need everyone's help and cooperation."
Everyone didn't quite understand what was going on, but as long as there was still hope of being caught, cooperation would be no problem. Tie Miaoqing immediately agreed, "Just tell us how we can cooperate."
Yu Qing waved to Xu Fei and Chong'er, who were standing outside the vine and quietly looking inside, "Come in, the more people this time, the better."
How could Xu Fei and Chong'er have any objections? They had no other choice but to let themselves be manipulated and came in obediently.
"Follow me." Yu Qing waved, then turned around and walked inside.
Tie Miaoqing and others followed. Zhu Shangbiao took a few pre-made torches and lit them. Cheng Shanping looked out slightly hesitantly.
Yu Qing, who also looked back, immediately added, "It's very simple to cooperate and it will be done soon."
Hearing that it would be fine soon, Cheng Shanping didn't have any worries and quickly followed.
The smoky air had not completely dissipated, and Xu Fei and Chong'er did not have the ability to rely on cultivation. They coughed repeatedly and quickly covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves...
"Deacon Cui, look, there is movement, people have gone in."
Wu Kuang, who was behind the thorn bush, suddenly sounded a reminder.
Cui You, who was staring and observing, hummed, "I saw it."
Wu Kuang: "Can we take action?"
Cui You frowned and wondered for a while, but still had to wait for a confirmed signal, shook his head and said: "Keep waiting."
…
In the tunnel, Yu Qing suddenly stopped and turned around, faced everyone and said with a smile: "Everyone, wait here for a moment." He reached out for the torch in Sun Ping's hand, and said to Tie Miaoqing, "Boss Boss, we
Let’s go to the front and arrange it first.”
Everyone couldn't understand what he was doing, but Tie Miaoqing followed him very cooperatively.
Yu Qing's behavior was a bit strange, and Sun Ping and others were somewhat worried that something would go wrong, but when they saw Xu Fei and Chong'er there, they felt relieved.
Yu Qing didn't lead Tie Miaoqing too far, but the distance he walked was enough that the people behind him couldn't hear what was being said here. And Tie Miaoqing was no stranger to this place. When he saw the incense butt stuck on the cave wall, he
I knew I was in that eerie place again.
Just when Tie Miaoqing felt a knot in his heart, Yu Qing happened to stop at this place again, holding a torch and turning around to meet his eyes.
Tie Miaoqing noticed the abnormality, became a little wary, and asked tentatively: "Didn't you say you wanted to make some arrangements?"
"There is no arrangement." Yu Qing denied. Seeing that the other party showed a high degree of vigilance on the spot, he immediately waved his hand and said: "Mrs. Boss, don't get me wrong. I have invited you here to inform you of something, which is related to our life and death."
Tie Miaoqing was on guard, "What did you say was so serious?"
Yu Qing: "Madam boss, do you still remember that when I entered the cave before, I asked how many shops had accepted Youya's mission?"
Tie Miaoqing thought for a moment, "Remember, what exactly do you want to say?"
Yu Qing: "If someone from another shop wants to snatch the three fire crickets in your hand, can I think that since the other party dares to take action, then his strength must be greater than yours. Once he takes action, you have almost no chance of winning.
, everyone will be unlucky, am I right?"
Tie Miaoqing does not deny this, but it is not what she cares about now, "You don't need to worry about these. You and I only need to fulfill our promises to each other."
Yu Qing: "Would you believe me if I said that one of your people was a spy planted by another shop?"
Tie Miaoqing frowned, "What are you talking about? My people are all reliable, there won't be any problems."
Yu Qing: "Do you still remember the fighting in the Ancient Mandrill Forest? The Ancient Mandrill Forest is so large, so why did someone happen to bump into our route and conflict with the mountain monster? In fact, your suspicion at the time was correct.
, someone is indeed following us."
Tie Miaoqing didn't know what this person wanted to say at this time, "That's because I'm overthinking it. What they said is right. If they were to follow us, how could they still follow us knowing that we had awakened the 'One-horned Mandrill' in front of us?"
Will you bump into me head-on? Even if someone is following you, you still know the consequences of fighting in the ancient mandrill forest."
Yu Qing: "This is what I want to prove. I can't take my own life as a joke. I want to know if those people have escaped from the ancient mandrill forest."
Seeing that he insisted on doubting her, which was tantamount to insulting her, Tie Miaoqing was a little angry, "Don't you think your current behavior seems to be sowing discord? I said I will keep my promise, you don't need to worry
I’ll break my promise, there’s no need to try so hard here, it’s useless.”
"I caught the third fire cricket." Yu Qing suddenly changed the topic and pointed to the end of the tunnel, "It's under that pile of wood. If you're not afraid of death, just take it and leave. I..."
Caught? Tie Miaoqing was surprised, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he shot like lightning, counting his fingers on Yu Qing's body. He was afraid that Yu Qing would play some tricks, so he sealed Yu Qing's acupoints first, and then ran away with a torch.
The dumbfounded Yu Qing froze on the spot. He didn't expect that Tie Miaoqing would make a surprise attack on him before he finished what he was planning to say. His unreasonable behavior was completely beyond his expectation, and he cursed in his heart.
Fortunately, Tie Miaoqing was eager to know the answer, so he came and went very quickly. He came back not long after, holding the metal can that kept clanging in his hand. Under the torch, his expression was inexplicably surprised, "Two? You catch them at once?"
Got two?”
Yu Qing remained motionless and silent.
Tie Miaoqing then reacted, quickly opened his acupuncture points, and asked: "How come you caught two?"
Yu Qing rubbed his chest, stopped talking to this woman, and changed the topic, "I now suspect that the traitor has lured people from another shop outside. There is probably an ambush outside. If that is the case,
The reason why they are holding back is that they are waiting for the three fire crickets in your hand to gather together. Do you know the consequences of taking out the things in your hand now?"
Tie Miaoqing understood the meaning of his words, and also understood why he had caught the fire cricket but said he had not caught it. He sighed: "You are really worrying too much. The three of them are my cronies and follow us."
We have been married for many years and will not betray us."
Yu Qing said, "Not my confidant!"
Their tone is cold and their meaning is cold, I don't believe them!
Tie Miaoqing: "I don't understand why you suddenly have such doubts when you are so good?"
Yu Qing didn't want to tell the real reason, so he made a huge excuse, "I did some divination and figured it out. In fact, I have already figured out that there is a traitor among us."
Tie Miaoqing was speechless. She was the beneficiary of this 'divine calculation' method and the most trustworthy among everyone. She was speechless for a while before asking: "Who is the traitor you suspect?"
Yu Qing has his own plan and will not name the suspects now. "If I can calculate everything in detail, then I don't have to worry about it. I can only calculate that there is a spy around you, and I don't know who it is."
I didn't reveal this in front of everyone because I was afraid that I might make a mistake and cause misunderstanding. After all, I made a mistake when I asked the boss's wife to communicate with the gods. I asked the boss's wife to take a step to speak, just to discuss a way to confirm it."
