Chapter 689: Imprisoned in the Dungeon
Tangli and his group were taken to the dungeon.
The dungeon was eerie.
As soon as he entered, Zhao Jingxuan found a flat place, lay down against the wall, and crossed his legs like a big boss.
"Everyone, please feel free to sit down." Zhao Jingxuan, like the owner of this dungeon, commented, "This dungeon is quite warm, much better than the basement in Awa Village. The ground is a little hard, though. A few handfuls of hay would be even better."
His words immediately made Sanbao laugh.
Everyone laughed, the dark clouds in their hearts dissipated a little, and they each found a place to squat.
Tangli took Sanbao's hand and sat down in the corner.
Tangli is actually quite calm.
The simple people of Yunfeng City suddenly regarded them as enemies because of Yao Ku's words. Men, women, young and old, rushed towards them in large numbers. It was quite scary to think about it.
But fortunately, they have a trump card.
Their trump card is forgetfulness.
When his life is really in danger, let Wangyou show the soles of his feet to the people.
Fire Lotus versus Fire Lotus, once the people are confused, they have a chance to escape.
However, this trump card must be used at the most appropriate time.
If used under inappropriate circumstances, it may be ineffective and even cause harm, which would be counterproductive.
As for how to determine whether it is valuable, we naturally have to first investigate what is going on with Yao Ku.
They were imprisoned in a dungeon and their movements were restricted, but fortunately there were secret guards outside.
Tang Ligang found an opportunity to hint to Fourteen and asked him to investigate the matter.
The only thing they can do now is wait for news from the secret guards.
Tangli looked at Wangyou.
"Wangyou, do you know Yaoku?" Tangli asked.
Yao Ku...Yao Ku...
Wangyou always felt that this name was somewhat familiar, and some memories were about to come out, but he couldn't remember them no matter how hard he tried.
"Don't be impatient, think about it slowly." Tang Li said.
Tangli was just asking. Wangyou had lost his memory for so long, it would definitely take more than a day for him to remember it.
The secret guard was very efficient and delivered the message the next day.
After reading the information obtained by the secret guards, Tang Li had a better understanding of the ancient clan.
The chief witch of the ancient tribe now is Yao Jie of the Yao clan, who can also be called Wu Jie.
The name "wu" is derived from the surname "wu". For example, Yao Ku, who is already a witch servant, can also be called Wu Ku.
Ten years ago, there was a riot among the Wu clan.
The former great witch suddenly went mad, killed the saint, and injured the little saint.
In the moment of crisis, it was Wu Jie who killed the original great witch and saved the little saint girl.
What the secret guards investigated in such a short time must have been based on rumors, and the truth may not be so.
But what is certain is that ten years ago, there was a change of power in the Wu clan.
Tangli wondered if Wangyou was the disciple of the crazy witch?
If the current people in power knew about Wangyou’s existence, they would definitely eradicate him.
How can they use Wangyou's identity to help them escape from the predicament?
Tangli frowned and fell into deep thought.
…
at the same time.
Wu Ku spent a whole day bathing, changing clothes and burning incense. When he finished all this, it was already the second day.
Early in the morning, Wu Ku entered the inner hall of the temple in the city lord's mansion and performed the dance to invite the gods.
The city lord and the Feng brothers were waiting in the outer hall.
From sunrise to sunset, Wu Ku finally walked out of the inner hall.
"Master Wu Shi, you have worked hard. Take a rest and eat something." Yun Tao said.
Then several servants came forward, some helped Wu Ku to sit down, some wiped the sweat off his face, some brought him water, and some brought him meat.
Wu Ku ate two pieces of meat and felt better.
"Master Wu Shi, what instructions does God have?" Yun Tao asked.
"They are outsiders." Wu Ku said.
"Foreigner?!" Yun Tao was a little surprised.
Those people were wearing their own clothes and didn't speak, so he really couldn't tell that they were outsiders.
"Half a month ago, the great witch received a divine revelation that foreigners had entered our tribe and would bring disaster to our tribe, so I came to Yunfeng City. The divine revelation came true on these people, and God also gave instructions to punish them by burning at the stake." The witch said bitterly.
Wu Ku's words were half true and half false. The dance to summon gods could no longer summon gods. The only thing the great witch taught him was the art of divination.
Half a month ago, the great witch made a divination for the Yao family, which was a very bad omen and would come true in the direction of Yunfeng City.
That's why he was sent to Yunfeng City.
The divination he had just drawn showed that this group of people were the source of the bad omen.
As long as these people are killed, the crisis of the Yao family can be resolved!
"Burning at the stake..."
"What? Is the city lord doubting the divine revelation?"
"No, I just thought that Yunfeng City hasn't carried out a burning at the stake for many years, so I have to arrange it." Yun Tao said.
"Master Wu Shi, what about the time of the burning at the stake..." Yun Tao continued to ask.
"Tomorrow, when the sun is at its highest point." Wu Ku said.
Yun Tao talked to Wu Ku for a while and then retreated.
Yuntao returned to his residence with a heavy heart.
He has no good feelings towards outsiders.
However, he always felt that it was not as Wu Ku said, but because of divine revelation.
On the contrary, Yun Tao felt that they wanted to kill these outsiders because they might be harmful to their Yao family.
This stranger might be hiding some secrets.
…
Dungeon.
Tang Li received news from the secret guards that they were going to be burned at the stake.
"I'm destined to be burned to death no matter where I go!" Zhao Jingxuan said angrily, "I should be the only one to be burned to death, and I'm still implicating you..."
Tang Li patted his shoulder and told him not to be pessimistic.
The burning at the stake is scheduled for tomorrow. If there is no other solution, then Wangyou must show his true colors tomorrow and take the opportunity to escape...
Just then, footsteps were heard, the dungeon door was opened, and a man walked in from outside.
The man was dressed in the clothes of a jailer. When he raised his head, Tang Li recognized his identity.
The mayor of Yunfeng City.
Yun Tao glanced at the people in the dungeon, pausing for a moment on Sanbao and Du Ye, and finally landing on Tang Li, knowing that she was the one who really made the decision among this group.
"Are you from outsiders?" Yun Tao asked.
Tang Li nodded: "We are here to look for someone, and we just want to leave the ancient clan. We have no ill will towards you."
"Who are you? Why does Wu Ku fear you and want to kill you?" Yun Tao asked directly.
Tangli thought quickly and realized that this might be a turning point for them.
This city lord and the Yao family are probably not in the same group. Yesterday, Yao Zhu wanted to arrest them, but the city lord's subordinates deliberately let them go, wanting to let them out of the city. This behavior was most likely instructed by the city lord.
Tangli felt that this city lord might be a good person.
"I've seen a man with the same fire lotus symbol on the soles of his feet as the one on Wu Ku's palms," said Tang Li.
Tang Li did not tell everything. She used this opportunity to test the city lord's attitude.
"The same Fire Lotus symbol?" Yun Tao's expression suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something. "Where is he?"
