Chapter 40 Escape

Gong Yixiao was worried and said, "Senior, can you...can you walk? Do you need me to carry you..."

Shen Qingqiu took a step forward with a dark face and flew out, proving with his actions that he was very good, very good!

Gong Yixiao was startled and followed him quickly. Unexpectedly, when the two of them had just stepped out of the stone platform and onto the stone path, the rotten water curtain that had just been raised suddenly exploded and sprayed water.

Shen Qingqiu ran fast and braked quickly, otherwise he would have been splashed. The two of them retreated back to the stone platform, but the water curtain gradually blocked their way.

It's like they're trying not to let them leave. Isn't that too smart?!

Gong Yixiao suddenly realized, "I forgot that once the water dungeon is activated, there must be a person left on the stone platform. Once this person leaves, the stone platform will be insufficiently weighted, and the water curtain will automatically open even if the mechanism is closed." He had never had the experience of escaping with a prisoner before, so naturally he would not remember such a thing.

Shen Qingqiu said: "Does this mean that one person must stay on the stone platform before the others can go out?"

Gong Yixiao nodded. Shen Qingqiu said, "You stay here."

Gong Yi Xiao: “…”

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked out. Gong Yixiao raised his hand weakly from behind and said, "Senior Shen... although I am willing to help, but without me leading the way, I am afraid you can't get out... ah..."

Shen Qingqiu turned his head and added: "Wait for me to come back."

Gong Yixiao stood there in a daze, wanting to follow, but unable to leave the stone platform, he could only wait quietly. In less than a moment, he heard a muffled sound outside, and Shen Qingqiu dragged someone in by the scruff of the neck.

Shen Qingqiu dragged the unconscious pockmarked disciple onto the stone platform, patted Gong Yi Xiao on the shoulder, and said, "I just happened to see him on patrol, so I'll borrow his phone for a bit. Let's go!"

In fact, it wasn't "just right". There were four people patrolling, and Shen Qingqiu was lurking in the dark, but he chose this one after careful selection!

Gong Yixiao had just thought about grabbing a random disciple to use as a weight, but it was only a vague thought. Now Shen Qingqiu had already done it himself, so he didn't have to knock out his fellow disciples. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The two walked out side by side, and saw Shen Qingqiu twisting the black robe he was wearing, and his throat was choked.

He said sadly in his heart: Senior Shen is respected as the head of a peak, and he is trapped and humiliated, which is already helpless, but now he has to rely on the clothes of people who are disrespectful to him to cover his body, it is really... really heartbreaking!

Shen Qingqiu saw his eyes flickering, which seemed to be sympathy and also sadness, and he could only respond with a blank expression.

He started again. He started again!

Suddenly, Gong Yixiao said, "Senior, please take it off!"

Shen Qingqiu: “…”

What?!

Before he could react, Gong Yixiao had already started to take off his outer robe. Shen Qingqiu was considering whether to throw a critical hit at him to see what was going on, but Gong Yixiao had already handed him his outer robe with both hands and said, "Please wear this!"

Shen Qingqiu suddenly realized.

Oh! So that's what it means. Although Luo Binghe's clothes are black, they reflect his personality. They are just like the male protagonist himself, low-key, luxurious and connotative. After all, they are too conspicuous when worn on the body. Changing to a white shirt with a relatively higher rate of wearing the same clothes will be more conducive to escape, right?

That’s very thoughtful!

He decisively took off Luo Binghe's coat and changed into Gong Yixiao's coat. Before leaving, he thought about it and folded Luo Binghe's clothes before putting them on the ground...

Leaving the cave, Gong Yi Xiao was in front, so Shen Qingqiu naturally followed closely behind without any further instructions.

At first, I didn't think it was difficult to walk, but the further I walked, the more I felt that the maze of the Huanhua Palace was really scary. There were holes after holes, and I got lost in the maze. It was so confusing that I almost lost Gong Yixiao several times even though he was right in front of me. If Gong Yixiao hadn't known the staffing and schedule of the water prison, I would have bumped into several patrolling disciples.

Luo Binghe ordered that no one other than him was allowed to explore the water dungeon privately, which greatly facilitated the escape. Because, as long as he didn't come, no one would know that the prisoner had escaped. Therefore, half an hour later, the two of them finally got out of the underground water dungeon, walked for several miles without stopping, entered the White Dew Forest, and were about to leave the territory of the Huanhua Palace. The alarm of the water dungeon had not been rung yet, which meant that no one had discovered that the prisoner had escaped.

It seems that as long as there is an insider who is in a high enough position and has sufficient information, jailbreaking is a piece of cake!

After resting for a while in Bailu Forest, Shen Qingqiu said, "Master Gongyi, there is no need to escort me here. Go back now before we are discovered."

After a pause, he added: "Within seven days, you will be able to find me in Huayue City."

Gong Yixiao said, "Since the senior has said so, what else can I say? Although I don't know what it is, please be careful on your way there."

Shen Qingqiu nodded and said, "There is one more thing. Please ask Master Gongyi to tell Junior Brother Liu from Baizhan Peak for me. Ask him to go to Huayue City immediately!"

Gong Yi Xiao said: "I will definitely pass it on. In a month's joint trial of the four sects, please rest assured, senior, as you said, those who are innocent will be cleared, and the leaders will definitely clear your name."

Shen Qingqiu couldn't help but laugh.

First, his dark history cannot be washed away. Second, the four-party joint trial in a month has nothing to do with him. Hahahaha… At the moment, he was filled with heroic spirit and folded his hands: “See you later!”

Gong Yixiao suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

Shen Qingqiu turned around: "What's the matter?"

Gong Yi Xiao smiled and said, "If we meet again in the future, please fulfill your promise and take me to Qingjing Peak for a tour. I have been waiting for you."

After they parted ways, Shen Qingqiu walked for a while and finally discovered a problem.

Starting from the border of Huanhua Palace all the way to Huayue City, the journey passed through the most densely populated and economically developed area in Central Plains.

These two conditions also mean that the density of secular cultivation sects and aristocratic families in this area is very high.

The cultivators in this world attach great importance to air defense. Just like Jinlan City, they usually set up air defense barriers above their territory. If a fairy sword or magic weapon flies over at a speed exceeding the limit, it will undoubtedly be discovered and the superiors of the sect will be notified.

As you can imagine, it's like using a loudspeaker to loudly announce one's escape route.

That means he still has to fly some distance and walk some distance!

Shen Qingqiu really wanted to use the bunch of nonsense settings in this book to slap Xiang Tian Da Feiji in the face: You are cheating me? !

Shen Qingqiu worked day and night without rest, and finally arrived at Huayue City on the third day.

It's just that he came at a very unfortunate time.

It was the time of the Huayue City's founding festival. The lights were on all night long, and there were lanterns and decorations. The streets were filled with flying dragons and dancing lions, and drums and music were deafening. People were crowded together, stalls were next to each other, and peddlers were walking around with their carts. It seemed as if everyone had come out of their homes.

Even more unfortunate was that when he arrived, dark clouds had obscured the moon.

Without the blessing of the sun, moon and sky, the failure rate of this trip will be greatly increased. Shen Qingqiu felt that it was enough, and decided to wait for a while. One day at most. If the fog didn't dissipate within one day, it would be too late. The higher the failure rate, the better, it's better than crying while holding the overcooked Sun and Moon Dew Huazhi, which would be unpalatable when used for cooking or drinking.

Shen Qingqiu walked slowly, and from time to time he would bump into playful children and girls laughing together, which was a pity. If he wasn't running for his life, he could have a good time in this city.

Suddenly, several men wearing the same uniform and carrying long swords on their backs came towards us. They all held their heads high and puffed out their chests. At first glance, they were obviously the arrogant disciples of various sects.

It's strange to say, the more disciples from small sects, the more they fear that others don't know that they are cultivators, and they even want to embroider words on their clothes.

Shen Qingqiu turned around naturally, picked up a ghost mask from the side, put it on his face, and walked towards them openly. Six out of ten visitors at the festival wore masks, so he blended in with them and was not afraid of being conspicuous.

I only heard one of the men say, "Brother, is Xiu Yajian really going to stay in this city and wait for others to catch him?"

The leader shouted, "How can a joint wanted order issued by the four sects be false? Haven't you seen how many sects have sent people to surround us? Keep a close eye on us. You have also seen the bounty from Huanhua Palace. Don't you want it?"

Shit, it turns out he’s wanted. How many people have rushed here without him knowing!

"No wonder the Huanhua Palace spent so much money on this. They are really miserable..."

Shen Qingqiu thought to himself, at most I just knocked out a little disciple of Huanhua Palace, and I didn’t do anything else, so why did Huanhua Palace become such a miserable victim?

He wanted to continue listening, but those people were walking further and further away. Shen Qingqiu was knocked around by the crowd and had to give up. He was thinking about finding an abandoned house to rest his feet when he suddenly felt a weight on his legs. He looked down and saw a little child hugging his thighs.

The child slowly raised his face. His complexion was pale, as if he was malnourished, but his eyes were big and bright. He just looked straight at him and held his thigh tightly, refusing to let go.

Shen Qingqiu touched his head: "Whose family are you from? Did you get separated?"

The child nodded and spoke in a soft voice: "We got separated."

Shen Qingqiu saw that he was cute and looked familiar, so he bent down, picked him up, and let him sit on his arms: "Who brought you out?"

The little boy hugged his neck, pursed his lips, and said aggrievedly: "With Master..."

Shen Qingqiu didn't know why, but he felt that this child deserved pity. He patted the soft little butt and said, "Master didn't take good care of you. You have a bad conscience. How did you get separated? Do you remember?"

The little boy chuckled in his ear and said, "Master personally slapped me down, how come you don't remember it?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Qingqiu felt cold all over.

Shen Qingqiu felt that what he was holding was not the body of a child, but a poisonous snake, a giant snake coiled around his neck, fangs bared, ready to bite him and inject venom at any time! He suddenly threw the person in his hand out, turned around with goosebumps all over his back, and instantly the hairs all over his body stood up straight.

The whole street was looking at him.

Those wearing masks and those not wearing masks all seemed to stop in an instant, staring at him with bated breath.

Those wearing masks have hideous and frightening faces; and those without masks are even more frightening - they have no faces!
