Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 368 is here! (two more)

The father and son of the Jiang family failed their errands. After the news of one death and one injury was sent back, the old man suppressed the news so that no one else would know. He analyzed it carefully, carefully considered it, and even asked someone to ask Wu Chen about the legendary stories. , and finally came to the conclusion that Wu Chen might be able to lure Huo Ran out for him with all his abilities. The old man was extremely excited!
The way to open the stone gate was solved, but after opening the stone gate, they discovered that the new difficulty was far more difficult than the previous two levels of traps!
If he wanted to go to the stone bridge and take away Ximo, he had to lead Huo Ran away.

That's why they dug that tunnel, in order to lure Huo Ran away.

But it's not that easy!
I tried it before, and the people who arranged for me died before they left the tunnel, and they had to wait until winter, and they had to wait until the day of heavy snowfall to try again, and Huo Ran had to leave the whole body completely. It can’t be too short, this requires someone who has the ability to restrain Huo Ran, the old man knows how powerful Huo Ran is, so he can only use the weather to help him arrange his lover to try again and again, other times he just watches, how could he not in a hurry?
Now that his lover is basically gone, suddenly there is Wu Chen who has the ability to attract Huo Ran, how can the old man not be excited!
What he has been waiting for is this opportunity, to face the opportunity to wash ink alone.

Who is the old man?
He himself may not even remember what his name was. People around him all respect him as an immortal, even the people around the lord treat him with courtesy. The son of the Jiang family is the son of his beloved disciple. One, he has learned [-]% of his shadowy figure.

The people who invited the old man out of the mountain naturally wanted to borrow the old man's ability to get ink washing, but from the moment the old man came out of the mountain, he wanted to keep it for himself.

The old man practiced all his life, coming and going unpredictably, like a ghost, and his martial arts are at the peak. In the eyes of the world, he is only a short of immortality from the so-called Taoism and immortality. People around him are called immortals. The old man is very useful. And I also have an obsession with immortality in my heart.

Just as Wu Chen expected, washing ink has something to do with longevity. Legend has it that wearing the ink-washing Kefa scriptures washes the marrow, reborn, not to mention rejuvenating, at least the body can return to the prime of life, and the cycle repeats, isn't it the same as immortality?

On the surface, the old man is willing to be loyal, but he has really put in a lot of effort, because he knows that the lord has many powerful people under him, so he has to be careful in order to achieve his goal. Unexpectedly, the development of things is far beyond their expectations, and the old man can only plan slowly.

It's a pity that after waiting for so many years, the old man finally saw the dawn, but he only counted the front correctly, but not the rear.

He came quietly during the day, but Wu Chen didn't know that the old man saw Huo Ran coming out with his own eyes. He almost couldn't control himself and rushed towards Liu Zhai. Ran's body came out a little more before moving.

It's a pity that Huo Ran went back, and the old man secretly feared that if he had gone to Liu's house just now, he might have been reduced to ashes at this moment.

Later, until it got dark, the old man just waited quietly, waiting for Wu Chen and the others to get ready, and then he went to Liu's house.

He counted the time and felt that it was almost time, so he stretched out his hand and pushed the stone door open.

……

Now all expectations are shattered. Seeing that the snake tail of the black python has swayed out of the snake nest, Huo Ran will be disturbed at any time. The old man can't think so much, so he attacks the snake tail swinging in the snake nest, trying to control the snake tail and prevent it jiggling.

Wu Chen was waiting for this moment. The black python's tail was sprinkled with silver needles by the old man. The snake's head was struggling in pain. Coupled with Wu Chen's targeted palm force several times, the thick scales were useless. Being sent out of the tunnel entrance by Wu Chen in pain, it no longer cared about its ancestors in the fire ditch, opened its bloody mouth and headed towards the old man, finally showing some demeanor like those two from last night.

The old man was busy evading, and Wu Chen was not idle either. He led a few people out of the tunnel, and told Gao Er and Xing Yun how to open the stone gate, and asked them to wait outside the stone gate. The third and fourth were on the basement floor. He waited for the message on the ground, and once Huo Ran was led out, he told Xing Yun and Gao Er in the underground loudly, and Xing Yun and Gao Er immediately opened the stone gate to get the treasure chest.

Wu Chen didn't know that Huo Ran needed to get out of his whole body to get in to get the treasure chest, and this was actually inferred by the elders themselves, because no one would take two extra steps when triggering Huo Ran.

No one thought of this at the moment, the four looked at each other, and the youngest asked anxiously: "How can you leave the Lord here alone?"

"Don't worry, I'm not fighting alone. There's an old man inside. You will only distract me if you stay by my side. After a while, the old man will lure Huo Ran out, so I can concentrate on dealing with the enemy." Wu Chen said. He waved his hand, which means let's go.

Xing Yun asked worriedly: "Are you sure that old man will be able to lure Huo Ran out?"

"Unless there is another way out, he can only come out from here after being injured. If the black python has the same ability as the two last night, it is very difficult for him not to be injured by the old man alone, even if he is not Injured, the black python will also anger Huo Ran, he can only run away."

The four of them glanced at each other again before walking towards the far door.

Wu Chen remembered something and hurriedly shouted: "Remember to take out the treasure box and bring it here. I can't beat Huo Ran, but the ink wash might be fine."

"You have to deal with it carefully, and you must wait for us to take out the ink!" Xing Yun turned his head and shouted.

Wu Chen waved his hand, looked at the top of the courtyard wall, there was no head, and asked loudly, "Who is responsible for throwing the water bag for me?"

Datou and Song Gu were squatting next to a pile of water bags and lighting a fire. Hearing Wu Chen's voice, Song Gu shouted, "The water bags are frozen, and we are trying to melt them."

Wu Chen climbed up and down, and stood on the wall of the courtyard. He looked down, and then looked around. He only went down for a while, and the surroundings were covered with snow. Wu Chen lowered his head and said:
"Song Tixing took Big Brother and everyone in the yard to evacuate the house. That Huo Ran is so big that he could die if he spit out a few casually."

The big head hurriedly asked: "Then who threw the water bag for you?"

"Don't throw it away. I'll pierce through the courtyard wall in a while, and put the water bag by my side. When I need it, I can take it myself. There is snow all around now, and it is a sharp knife for that thing. Don't worry, big-headed brother."

Datou stood up and looked at Song Gu.

Song Gu rubbed his hands together and said, "Just do what Wu Chen said."

……

The people around the courtyard all evacuated. Wu Chen pierced the courtyard wall with his palm, and gently kicked the water bag that was as frozen as ice into the courtyard. After kicking a few times, he suddenly stopped moving.

It seemed that the ground moved, and then saw a person rushing up from the entrance of the tunnel, and then rolled. Wu Chen had already seen the fire at this time, and he yelled: "Open the stone gate!" The water bag is thrown towards the entrance of the cave.
