Chapter 131 This Young Taoist Priest Doesn’t Look Like a Bad Guy
A small boat sailed upstream along the Hua River in the moonlight. The night was as cool as water, and a tall figure stood at the bow of the boat.
On this day and at this time, there would normally be no boatmen soliciting passengers. But Wang Longqi was someone of such status that he rushed to the riverside and paid several times the boat fare, and he still found the boatman easily.
He stood at the bow, gazing at the moonlight with longing.
"If we really save Miss Xiao Liu, will she be so happy that she will marry us..."
He looked at Li Chu and felt that this was very likely the case for him.
As for myself, maybe I will be repaid in the next life.
And I am most afraid of comparison...
Thinking of this, he frowned and murmured, "It would be better if you wore a mask."
He added, "No... it's not safe to just show your eyes. How about... you wear a hood."
Li Chu rolled his eyes imperceptibly, "Do you think we are going to jailbreak?"
They did not go directly into the city, but after getting ashore, they rushed to Meixizhai.
Miss Xiao Liu was imprisoned in the Chaotianque prison, which was not a place that could be visited casually like the government office. Without the guidance of someone from the Chaotianque, it was impossible to enter.
At this time, Li Xinyi must be in Meixizhai accompanying the nun.
When I arrived at Meixizhai, I saw the master and his disciple as expected.
After hearing Li Chu's explanation of his purpose, Master Meixi hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Xinyi, I'll write a letter, you take them with you."
It turned out that with Li Xinyi's status, it was possible for her to visit a criminal demon, but it was still difficult to bring an outsider into the heavily guarded prison.
And it becomes very easy with Master Mei Xi's handwriting.
Of course, Master Mei Xi's move was not to give face to Li Chu, but to give face to his master.
but……
The nun was also somewhat displeased.
"That old guy, he's already quite old, but he still cares so much about the popular young girl..."
After writing the letter and stamping it with the seal, Master Mei Xi muttered something.
Li Chu explained: "Master is just kind-hearted."
"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Longqi nodded repeatedly: "Master Yu has a deep understanding of the ancient Dao's kindness."
The other three looked at him strangely.
I vaguely felt that what he said didn't seem to be serious...
Especially when it comes to Yu Qian'an...
The process went smoothly. In a short while, Li Xinyi led the two of them out of Meixizhai and headed to Chaotianque Prison.
Li Xinyi had just returned from Renjiaji after parting with Li Chu not long ago. She had heard about this matter, but knew it was not a good omen.
"I have never seen this Miss Xiao Liu, but I have heard people talking about her recently." Li Xinyi said as they walked, "She has become very popular in Hangzhou recently. I heard that she was a daughter of an official family who was sold when she was young and ended up here. Many powerful people in the city wanted to buy her before she was married. They offered very high prices, but Taogulou refused them all."
"Of course we can't sell her." Wang Longqi continued, "No matter how high the price is, it's only a temporary gain or loss. Keeping her will at least support the reputation of Taogu Tower for ten years."
“It is said that even the King of Jiangnan had expressed interest in her, but was rejected.” Li Xinyi added.
"That's quite powerful, daring to provoke the King of Jiangnan. I heard that after the old prince died two years ago, the young prince who took over had a very bad temper, and no one in Hangzhou Prefecture dared to disobey him." Wang Longqi said, touching his chin.
There were only a few ruthless people in Hangzhou who no one dared to mess with. But if we were to rank them carefully, King Jiangnan would definitely be the first one.
Li Xinyi said, "The backer of Taogulou must be quite capable."
"That's for sure. To be able to open such a large brothel in the city and have it standing for so many years, his background must be unfathomable." Wang Longqi nodded.
After chatting for a few words, the three of them soon arrived at the center of the city, Chaotianque Station.
Behind the station was the Chaotianque prison. Li Xinyi led them directly in through the back door.
She came with a basket of mooncakes and started distributing them to the guards as soon as she entered the door. They were all from the same school, so if they said something nice, they would naturally get along harmoniously.
After entering the first gate and then the second gate, Li Chu and his companions were stopped.
Li Xinyi took out the handwritten letter from Master Meixi and let him go.
As a famous figure in Chaotianque, Master Mei Xi has a very high reputation and status here.
As Li Chu walked, he used his mind to scan the layout of the entire Chaotian Palace. He felt that the aura here was strict and murderous.
Layers of murderous aura swirled around the station, and who knows how many eyes were hidden in the dark.
From the prison to the outside, regular energy channels are nested in each other, with dozens of layers.
Formation.
Countless formations.
Not long after, he was finally taken to the prison. The moon was already high in the sky. The Mid-Autumn Festival was over.
The prison in Chaotianque is divided into four floors. Although Liu Qinglian is half human and half demon at this time, she is not a big threat, so she is locked in the prison on the first floor.
It was easy to see her.
Through the iron bars, the three men saw the young lady named Xiao Liu.
At this moment, she was lying softly in the thatched pile of the cell, her hands were handcuffed with iron chains, and a narrow steel needle with talismans pierced her shoulder blade and dantian, looking extremely painful.
Her messy black hair covered half of her flawless face, which was pale and looked even more delicate and pitiful.
As the most skilled dancer in Hangzhou, her figure and waist were perfect. Even though her lower body had become a snake and she had no legs, her green scales were still charming.
Compared to the stunning look she had on the stage in the center of thousands of people, Miss Xiao Liu at this moment was undoubtedly more worthy of sympathy.
Wang Longqi's eyes were filled with tears, and he banged his head against the railings. "Who did it! Who did it! Miss Xiao Liu... who did it! Why not just lock her up? Why poke her with needles? And three of them!"
Li Xinyi said helplessly: "The talisman suppresses the scapula and dantian, which can stop the flow of demonic energy. Every demon in this prison is like this... She has already suppressed it with the lightest force."
Li Chu said: "Don't worry, my master asked me to ask her a few questions, and then I can make a decision after that."
"I'll wake her up first." Li Xinyi approached Miss Liu through the iron bars and called softly, "Liu Qinglian, Liu Qinglian, wake up."
Her call contained the magic of entering the spiritual consciousness into the brain, which could directly make people wake up.
Sure enough, after two calls, Miss Xiao Liu woke up slowly and turned her eyes.
Although his eyes were still a little dull, his misty and blurred gaze was even more attractive.
"Miss Xiao Liu..." Li Chu just opened his mouth and hadn't asked the first question.
Something strange happened suddenly!
There was a loud bang, and the floor of the cell exploded! Amid the bang, a man appeared out of nowhere! As soon as he appeared, he brought up a puff of thick white smoke.
Before the thick smoke filled the air, Li Chu vaguely saw a young man in night clothes.
He broke out of the ground, surprising everyone around him, then stepped forward and pulled out the steel needle from Miss Xiao Liu's body with a heavy hand.
The talisman on the needle immediately emitted a red glow. He ignored it and after pulling out three needles, his hands were already charred black and bloody! "Miss Xiao Liu, I'm here to save you."
He then whispered, took out the key from his waist, and opened the shackles on Liu Qinglian's wrists.
At this time, Li Chu and the other two were blocked by smoke. Although he could roughly understand the situation inside with his telepathy, he didn't know whether he should stop them.
Li Xinyi beside him suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Chen Huaji! Do you want to die?"
The man in black shook his hands in the smoke and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not me!"
Three people: "..."
At this time, several guards had already arrived.
The situation was critical, so he carried the person on his back, chanted a spell, stomped his feet, and disappeared out of thin air.
Li Chu tracked him with his mind and found that he turned into a stream of chaotic energy and sneaked directly into the ground at an incredible speed.
He said to Wang Longqi: "Wait for me here."
Then he flashed and easily jumped over the wall and chased after him.
As mentioned before, there are many formations in Chaotianque Prison, but most of them are on the ground.
Although there were quite a few formations underground, the stealth warrior seemed to be familiar with the distribution of all the formations. He easily bypassed them and escaped all the way without triggering any of them.
The secret sentries stationed by Chaotianque here showed up one after another and wanted to stop them, but they were unable to catch up and the situation became chaotic for a while.
Seeing Li Xinyi's performance earlier, it seemed that he recognized this person's identity.
Could it be that he is a traitor in Chaotianque?
Li Chu used the Landie Yunyou Steps to flash along the way, and after a short while, he arrived at the river bank in the city.
Unexpectedly, the stalker's "Qi" suddenly changed and turned into a ball of mist, as if it had the same source as the surrounding water. In an instant, it escaped several miles away and was about to leave the city.
Is this the legendary magical power of escape?
It is really amazing that he can escape underground and enter water at will while carrying a person with him.
Not long after, the breath landed, and in an instant it changed again, turning into a ball of misty air, like a real wind! Although it was ever-changing, its pure speed was still a little slower than the previous Wanli Feisha, so Li Chuzhu had no pressure to follow behind.
After a while, the breath finally stopped at a dilapidated temple outside the city.
Li Chu did not rush forward, but stopped outside the temple gate.
In the dilapidated temple, a man in black took off his mask, revealing an ordinary young face.
He had already laid Liu Qinglian's body gently and carefully on the prepared bedding.
The young man asked, "Miss Xiaoliu, are you okay?"
Liu Qinglian felt it was a little unbelievable. She was in Chaotianque prison with all hope lost just now, how come she was here in a moment?
She looked at the young man in front of her for a while, then asked in a trembling voice: "You are..."
Although the other party saved me, but... who knows if he is a good person or a bad person? In Chaotianque's prison, at least it is safe...
"My name is Chen Huaji, we have met before." The young man's tone was a little lost.
"Chen Huaji? Oh, it's Master Chen." Liu Qinglian recalled for a moment before finally remembering, "But aren't you... a disciple of Chaotianque?"
"Yes! You still remember this."
When the other party remembered his identity, Chen Huaji became happy again. He grinned, revealing a warm and innocent smile.
"Then take me out this time..." Liu Qinglian stammered.
"It doesn't matter. For Miss Xiao Liu, I'm willing to die..." Chen Huaji said with deep affection.
Liu Qinglian looked at him and blinked, seeming a little confused.
After a long while, he finally said, "Thank you."
"Miss Xiao Liu, I had no idea you were a fairy before, but don't worry, this will not affect my feelings for you."
Chen Huaji said this heavily, emphasizing each word.
"Even if you are against the whole world, I will stand by you!"
Liu Qinglian was even more confused. She felt a little bewildered, a little aggrieved, and a little puzzled. Finally, all these emotions came together and she said one sentence.
"Why should I make the whole world my enemy... I'm obviously not a goblin!"
"Huh?" Chen Huaji was stunned.
Miss Xiao Liu looked around anxiously, "Will the people from Chaotianque come after us?"
Chen Huaji came back to his senses and said boastfully, "Don't worry, my Five Elements Escape Technique is unmatched in the entire Hangzhou Prefecture! Hehe, if anyone can catch up with me, I'll give you my head!"
At this time, a light cough was heard.
"Ahem, sorry..." Li Chu slowly stepped into the temple gate and said, "I don't mean to bother you, but I do have a few questions for Miss Xiao Liu."
When Liu Qinglian saw Li Chu, her eyes lit up and she said, "You are the one... in the prison..."
Li Chu nodded: "Yes, I followed him all the way from the prison..."
"Who are you?!" Chen Huaji was greatly surprised. He stood up, with his left hand behind his back, already grasping a handful of talismans. His right hand raised his fingers, his true energy surging, ready to go.
"Stand still where you are, and don't come even a step closer to Miss Xiao Liu!"
"Mr. Chen..."
Before Li Chu could say anything, a white and tender little hand tugged at Chen Huaji's sleeve from behind.
Liu Qinglian looked at Li Chu and said softly, "No need to be so alert..."
"This young Taoist priest doesn't look like a bad person."
