Master Luo Cao

Chapter 73 Fox Lady

Kou Luoche shook his head, "It doesn't matter how many people there are. I followed them into the Mandarin Duck House last night. When I came out, I turned inside out and couldn't find him."

The shopkeeper said: "This..."

Kou Luoche said: "I suspect that there is another dark room in the Mandarin Duck House that I can't detect or decipher. Go and bring the Carpenter Wang you mentioned, maybe he can find it."

The shopkeeper said in embarrassment: "But what time is it? Carpenter Wang hasn't woken up yet. I'm afraid he won't be able to invite anyone."

"We are bandits, not good citizens!" Kou Luoche yelled angrily: "If you don't come, we will tie you up! If you still refuse to submit, we will tie up all the tablets of the eighteen generations of your wife, children, mother, and family! No matter what, I will find Xichen."

"Okay! Yes!" The shopkeeper stood at attention and saluted, and then blew out like a whirlwind.

Kou Luoche anxiously paced back and forth in the room, his heart was like soup, and the passage of time felt extremely long. Fortunately, although the shopkeeper hadn't started for a long time, he was still proficient in business after returning to his old business. It didn't take long for the brothers to bring back Carpenter Wang, who was still under the blanket, and put him in front of Kou Luochao.

With his hands and feet bound and a big steamed bun stuffed into his mouth, Wang Carpenter huddled in the quilt and shivered. Looking at the handsome young man in front of him but full of evil spirits, he turned his head to the shopkeeper and weeped for two tears. Voice.The shopkeeper said with some guilt: "Old Wang, don't blame me. Didn't you ask for your refusal to come? You had to make such a decision. Don't worry, my boss is just asking you for a small favor and won't do anything to you .”

Kou Luoche squatted down slowly, reached out his hand to Carpenter Wang's frightened eyes—then took off the big steamed bun stuffed in his mouth for him, and said softly: "Mr. I am very honored and grateful to see you now." Then he stood up and bowed to Carpenter Wang.

This time, not to mention Carpenter Wang, the shopkeeper and the other guy were also dumbfounded. The guy leaned into the shopkeeper's ear and whispered: "Shopkeeper, this... are you sure this is the owner of our village? When will he Did you come back after taking the exam for a scholar?"

Carpenter Wang stammered with a dry smile: "This... Master Haizhai, if you have anything to do, just tell the villain, no... there is no need to perform such a great gift..."

Kou Luoche said: "I was trapped in the underground mechanism of Yunjian Temple last night. It was only because of Mr. Wang's intentional opening in the early years that he managed to save his life."

The purpose of that secret passage that can be manipulated and closed is to strangle uninvited guests, but there is a gap on the top of the wall that can accommodate only one person. If it is a coincidence, Kou Luoche really does not believe it. He was in charge of repairing Yunjian Temple and discovered the secret room, so he guessed that it was Carpenter Wang who did it.

Carpenter Wang said: "I'm ashamed to say that, although Wang had noticed something different in Yunjian Temple back then, he didn't dare to expose it, so he could only do some tricks secretly."

Kou Luoche said: "It is not easy for Mr. Wang to have such courage. The monks in Yunjian Temple are vicious. If they find out, they will probably catch fire." The shopkeeper winked, "Quickly untie Mr. Wang .”

Carpenter Wang got his hands and feet loose, got up from the ground, turned his wrist, glanced at Kou Luoche cautiously, and said, "Master Haizhai specially commented on me, and it shouldn't be just to thank you in person, right?"

"Of course," Kou Luoche said, "I have a close friend who is now trapped in the mandarin duck house. I hope Mr. Wang can help me."

Last night he killed a group of monks who were having fun in the basement of the mandarin duck restaurant. Fortunately, the place is hidden and it is still early. The benevolent girls in the restaurant should still be sleeping in the gentle village. If they act properly, God does not know People can be rescued without realizing it.

Carpenter Wang looked hesitant, and the shopkeeper lightly poked him in the back, and said, "Old Wang, you helped us this favor. From now on, you are the benefactor of Qunyingzhai, so why not be afraid of Yuanyang Hot Pot Restaurant."

"Okay." Carpenter Wang gritted his teeth and agreed.

A group of people stepped into the mandarin duck restaurant quietly again in the morning light, and they met a short-sighted guy who came up to him and yelled, "Hey, who are you?" Now the village owner brought his subordinates by his side, without raising his hand, the man rushed up like a leopard, covered the boy's mouth and nose with his paw and broke his neck.

Carpenter Wang thought it was the first time he had seen such a bloody and violent scene, and his whole body trembled. If it wasn't for the fact that he was now in the same group as these bandits, he might have screamed out in fright.The shopkeeper reprimanded and said: "What's wrong, I forgot that Lao Wang has just entered the industry today, so why is he so excited when he comes up? Can't he be knocked out first?"

The clerk retorted in a low voice: "What if we spend a long time inside and this kid wakes up and runs to complain?"

The shopkeeper thought it was the same, so he turned to Carpenter Wang and said, "Old Wang, it is inevitable to see blood in our line of business. Don't be afraid. When I have the opportunity to return to the stockade, I will open a pot for you for 18 years." The daughter of the red washes away the bad luck."

Wang Carpenter, who was dragged into the bandit's lair in a daze, could only nod dumbfounded.

Kou Luoche, who was walking ahead calmly, suddenly stopped and said, "Mr. Wang, I escaped from here last night."

This is a very ordinary small room, just at the bottom of the stairs, push the door open, there is a table, a chair and a window, there is a pot of green radishes in the corner, there is nothing wrong with it.Kou Luoche walked to a white wall, reached out and knocked on the wall, and said: "I turned the mahjong under the table in the secret room inside, and opened the mechanism. After I came out, the mechanism door closed automatically, so I don't know how to go in again." .”

Carpenter Wang walked into the room, looked around, and said: "Open, rest, life, injury, Du, scene, death, shock, death and rebirth, life and death. The door of life is pressed on the foot of the table, so the door of death... ..." He pointed to the beam above his head and said, "It should be there."

Kou Luoche winked at the clerk, the clerk nodded, turned on his back, and after groping for a while, said pleasantly: "Master, there is also a piece of mahjong here."

Carpenter Wang said: "Turn it around in the opposite direction of the Eight Gates Diagram."

The man followed suit, and the wall opened slowly again. Carpenter Wang was about to step in with a serious face, but was stopped by Kou Luoche, who coughed in embarrassment, and said, "Uh, Mr. Wang, last night I I moved my hands inside, and it may be a bit messy before it’s time to clean it up, so don’t panic.”

Carpenter Wang said calmly: "It's just messy, it's nothing. We carpenters are..." Stepping into the secret room, seeing the bloody corpses all over the floor, he opened his mouth and was about to scream in panic. , covered Carpenter Wang's mouth, and comforted him: "Mr. Wang, calm down, calm down." Carpenter Wang remembered that the hands covering himself had strangled a person's throat not long ago. Fear was also managed to swallow into his stomach, and he nodded weakly.

The shopkeeper looked at the mess all over the floor and said, "Master, you buried all the monks of Quanyunjian Temple here."

"No," Kou Luoche said in a low voice, "there are two more dead in Yunjian Temple."

The shopkeeper said with a dry smile, "You really managed to catch up this night." Then, he suddenly paused, and asked in confusion, "But... Wall Master, the gates of the city are closed at night, how did you get out of here?" Did Yunjian Temple rush to the Mandarin Duck Pavilion again?"

"I'm also very strange." Kou Luoche said with a cold face, "I didn't come here by myself, I was brought here by them."

Where does a small family of brothels get their energy to open the city gate in the middle of the night?

The clerk helped Carpenter Wang, covered his eyes intimately, and walked out of the bloody room. Kou Luoche was about to lead them to the room where the proprietress committed suicide last night, but he saw Carpenter Wang walking straight towards the end of the corridor. , although his figure was a little trembling, but his steps were firm. At the end of the corridor was a wall with an extremely detailed erotic picture painted on it. Carpenter Wang was watching carefully with his eyes squinted and his head raised.

Kou Luoche stood behind him and said, "Mr. Wang..."

Carpenter Wang turned his head and said with certainty: "Village Master, there is a mechanism behind this wall, you can't go wrong." Then, he stretched out his hand and groped for a while on the wall, and then lightly tapped on the woman's nipple in the painting. Press, the wall was slowly separated from the middle to the two sides, revealing a square, dark hole behind the wall.

The shopkeeper asked puzzledly: "They still set up such a box-sized place, what is it for? Hiding people? I'm afraid they can't hide a few."

Carpenter Wang shook his head, "It's not for hiding people, it's for running."

Kou Luoche asked doubtfully, "It's running?"

"Yes." Carpenter Wang nodded, "It runs up and down." After speaking, he walked in first, and said, "Through this room, you can reach the next floor."

Kou Luoche frowned, and murmured: "No wonder I searched almost the whole mandarin duck restaurant last night but couldn't find Xichen. It turns out that there is another mystery under the ground." He strode into this strange small room, He said to the other two people: "Unfortunately something happened, Mr. Wang and I will go down, and you will wait here."

The man became anxious immediately, "The village master..."

But the shopkeeper stopped him, looked at Kou Luoche and nodded, and said: "Master, my subordinates are waiting for you here."

Kou Luoche said: "If I haven't come out after half an hour, you can call someone directly."

The shopkeeper said: "Yes."

Carpenter Wang lightly pulled the mechanism, and the wall in front of him closed again, and the two fell into darkness. Kou Luoche felt a slight vibration under his feet, and then the ground he stepped on began to slowly fall. There is such an exquisite mechanism."

Carpenter Wang said: "I was very surprised when I saw this mechanism in Yunjian Temple."

Kou Luoche asked: "Didn't Mr. Wang build this institution?"

"Where do I have this ability." Carpenter Wang shook his head, "This kind of mechanism is a secret that the inner disciples of the Luban sect do not pass on to the outside world. My master and I are only outer disciples, so we have no chance to learn it."

"Mr. Wang is actually a member of Lubanmen?" Kou Luoche said: "It has been a long time since there has been a descendant of Lubanmen in the Jianghu."

Carpenter Wang sighed, and said, "I'm just an outer disciple, not a real Luban disciple, and the Luban sect has been through wars for many years, the secret books have been lost and gradually diminished, and there are very few inner disciples left. The inner disciples I know , there is only one uncle."

Kou Luoche asked: "Would it be possible that Yunjian Temple and the secret room mechanism here are written by Uncle Ling?"

Carpenter Wang shook his head, "It is rumored that my uncle was imprisoned by the court for his involvement in the rebellion case of King An several years ago. If he had no disciples, then the inner sect of the Luban sect would have been cut off."
