Chai Hong sighed: "At that time, even if I was not afraid of heaven or earth, I would be afraid when I met someone with ruthless means. He asked me again whether I should help him. I didn't answer him silently, but I was already scared. Seeing that I didn't answer, he immediately walked over and pinched my left shoulder. It seemed that he was about to crush my shoulder."

"At that time, I saw the old man lying on the ground and breathing. I was already very scared. Seeing that he put his hands on his shoulders, I was afraid that he would become like that. I immediately agreed in panic."

As he said that, he reached out to pick up the Huang Leju, touched the bell under its neck, put it into the cloth bag on his waist, and then sighed heavily: "Brother, you said I am good at everything, and I know I am wrong to do this, but at that time, I couldn't agree to him at that time. Then he gave me a medicine. If I promised him, I would take this medicine. At that time, I had no way out and could only take this medicine."

Zhu Qingsheng listened quietly to him, but was thinking about how to escape from here. Xingshu must not be able to do so. The night was dark and Xingshu was extremely dangerous, so he could only escape from above.

Looking at the dry vines all over the ground, Zhu Qingsheng suddenly remembered the Wooden Mantra of the Five Elements Mantra. Using these vines to capture Chai Hong is a way. But when he casts a mantra, he has to chant a mantra. Once he chants a mantra, Chai Hong will immediately realize it. By then, before the mantra was finished, Chai Hong cut off the dry vines and fell down.

Zhu Qingsheng was secretly worried for a moment. How could he take this old man away from here?

Since you can't escape from here for the time being, it's better to calm Chai Hong first and then slowly think of a solution.

Zhu Qingsheng was still frightened when he remembered the explosive he mentioned just now, and asked quickly: "What exactly did the man in black want you to do? Is that explosive real or false?"

Chai Hong said: "This explosive is true. If you don't believe it, you can open it and see from the dead vines. As for what I do, I won't tell you about this. In short, I will be free after doing these things. Brother, don't blame me." As he said that, he wanted to raise his knife and chop it down.

Oh no, I didn't expect him to start so quickly. Zhu Qingsheng's white jade ruler emitted a burst of light, and suddenly stepped on the rock wall and jumped up quickly. But it was too late. Chai Hong's knife had already chopped on these dead vines, cutting them off like cutting tofu. These dead vines had been hanging here for a long time. Once there was no pulling force, they all fell down one after another. Zhu Qingsheng only felt that his feet slipped and his force was not stable, and he fell down involuntarily.

In a panic, when he saw the old man tied with vines slid downwards, Zhu Qingsheng felt a tight heart, and quickly grabbed the vines, and at the same time he said in a deep voice: "The tree in the east has its momentum, and the sound of it is above and the name of it is below!"

The white jade ruler rotated in the air, guiding the scattered dry vines from afar, wrapping one by one on the surrounding dry vines, and grabbing the dry vines with the white jade ruler. However, the falling momentum was too heavy, and several were pulled down one after another. Zhu Qingsheng calmed down his breath and tried several times before he grabbed the vines. Seeing that his right hand was still firmly grasping the old man's dead vine, he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up and saw that it was dark and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Zhu Qingsheng secretly regretted, knowing that he was falling too far and could no longer see the cliff top, but now it has become like this, and it is useless to regret it any more. He lowered his head and shouted: "Old man, are you okay?"

He groaned below and did not answer for a long time.

Hearing this humble groan, Zhu Qingsheng felt relieved. He guided the white jade ruler with his left hand in the air, wrapped more dead vines and hung them downwards, and climbed down slowly. Not long after, the soles of his feet suddenly became heavier and it was already at the end.

Zhu Qingsheng quickly helped the old man up. As he pulled the old man, he used his true power to guide the dead vines to climb down. It was really not easy.

Zhu Qingsheng looked at the old man with the faint light of the white jade ruler. He saw his eyes closed, his face turned pale and his lips were purple, and he looked extremely serious. His mouth was slightly opened, as if he said something else.

Zhu Qingsheng was surprised and slowly lay down to his ears, and the old man said, "Relax.........Relax..."

Zhu Qingsheng felt sad, knowing that what he was talking about was to loosen the vines. The white jade ruler slashed in the air, and the white jade ruler on the old man fell off one after another, sliding away like a swimming snake.

Under the light of the white jade ruler, Zhu Qingsheng stood in shock and pain, stood there in a daze, almost unable to believe his eyes. He saw that the old man was covered with dense blue purple and blue-black bruises, especially near the joints, which were all blue and black, with blood scattered creeping out of his pores.

The old man's limbs were almost in a twisted form and wrapped in these vines. At this moment, the vines dissipated and immediately tilted softly to the side, without any resistance.

Zhu Qingsheng's mind was confused. Chai Hong said true. The old man had shattered all his joints, but what was the sorrow and grudge of the man in black? Why did he have to treat this old man?

Around the old man's waist, there was a flat suona hanging on it, and there was a copper coin strung under it. It seemed that he was the old man Zhu Qingsheng had been looking for.

Zhu Qingsheng looked at the old man and said softly: "Grandpa, do you still remember me? We met at the morning market in Jiujiang City last time."

The old man didn't say a word, and was still breathing slowly. Zhu Qingsheng's mind buzzed, knowing that the old man had experienced so much torture and had been struggling for so long, and could no longer hold on anymore, and he was about to die.

Zhu Qingsheng didn't expect that he would die just now when he found this old man. He felt sad and regretful. He saw that he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

After a long time, he asked in a trembling voice: "Old man, can you dare to ask, are you Zhao Yuangui?"

The old man opened his mouth and slowly looked up at the sky, breathed a long sigh, and a tear came from his turbid eyes. He slowly nodded his head, and he never sucked in again.

Zhu Qingsheng's mind was blank, and there seemed to be a stone blocking his chest, which made him feel like he was almost breathless. He felt lost, as if he had lost a very important person in an instant.

Whether the old man's nod before his death was to answer his meaning is no longer verified, but the old man's death was indeed because of the man in black. If he did not capture him and announce his true face and crimes in the world, how could the old man feel at ease?

Zhu Qingsheng felt a choke in his heart. He silently stepped forward to pack up the old man's body. Suddenly, a thick cotton thread was found on his waist, covered with black powder, which smelled very choking. Zhu Qingsheng was stunned and slowly pulled it over. After pulling it for a long time, the cotton thread was five or six feet long, and a trace of white stuffing was exposed at the beginning, which seemed to have just been cut off from it.

Isn’t this the fuse?

Zhu Qingsheng was suddenly shocked and remembered what Chai Hong said just now. Could it be that what he said was true, there was really explosives buried on it, and this fuse was responsible for detonating?
