Wang Hai raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and replied: "Based on past experience, each time the old man retreats, it takes seven hours, and during this period, no outsiders are allowed to enter and disturb him, so I'm afraid he still has to pass."
He won't be out for two or three hours, so you should sit down for a while first."
Wen Qingshan and I sat down, and a maid quickly brought us two cups of strong tea with a fragrant fragrance. Wen Qingshan took a sip from the teacup, and suddenly seemed to think of something, raised his head and asked:
"Do you know how Fifth Master practices his cultivation?"
Wang Hai and the bald man both shook their heads. Wang Hai said: "A few months ago, the old man asked people to rearrange the basement. From then on, it has become a forbidden area. No one can enter except him.
!No one knows what the basement looks like now and what he is doing, not even my mother or I."
Wen Qingshan frowned and said, "If that's the case, this would be a bit strange."
I quickly asked: "What does Boss Wen think is strange?"
Wen Qingshan replied: "Think about it, if Master Wuliang is really just trying to absorb the Fifth Master's Yuanyang Qi, then why does he let the Fifth Master practice in seclusion at his own home? This is not superfluous, it is unnecessary.
What?"
I thought for a moment and guessed: "Is it possible that the fifth master's current appearance has something to do with the skills he practiced?"
As soon as I finished speaking, the bald man standing aside said immediately: "I also have this suspicion. If the fifth master was absorbed by the infinite master, it is not very common sense."
The bald man's words surprised us all. Wen Qingshan quickly asked: "Why does this brother think so?"
The bald man replied: "Because the Fifth Master does not often meet with the real person Wuliang. He only meets him once every ten days and eight days. The meeting time is not too long, only about two or three hours, and every time he meets
Afterwards, the Fifth Master’s body did not undergo any obvious changes. But every time he came out of seclusion to practice, I felt that he was very tired.”
After listening to what the bald man said, Wen Qingshan said thoughtfully: "It seems that if we want to find out what happened to the Fifth Master, we must first understand the set of exercises he practiced."
When the bald man heard this, he immediately waved his hands and said: "It's not that easy to figure this out. When Fifth Master is practicing, he doesn't allow anyone around him at all."
Wen Qingshan smiled slightly and said: "So, we have to pay a visit to Master Wuliang and learn the exercises from him."
"What!? You also want to worship that master Wuliang as your teacher!?" A shocked expression appeared on the bald man's face.
Wang Hai hurriedly explained: "Actually, they just want to find an excuse to see the real person Wuliang. This guy's whereabouts are very mysterious, and this is the only way to see him."
The bald man said thoughtfully: "This is a way. Master Wuliang seems to like to accept disciples. Just a few days ago, Master Wu also told me that Master Wuliang will use immortal magic and Taoism in the mortal world.
Let me follow him and join the disciples of Master Wuliang."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Hai immediately asked: "Then have you agreed?"
"Fifth Master has become like that, how dare I!"
Wang Hai showed a disappointed expression on his face: "Why didn't you agree to him? In this way, you can meet the real person Wuliang, and maybe you can also find out his background. It's better than now we can only worry here.
good."
"Hey! How could I have thought of so much at that time! How about I talk to Master Wu about this later?"
As soon as the bald man finished speaking, Wen Qingshan said with a smile: "I was originally worried that the fifth master would not agree. Since the fifth master had this idea, it would be much easier. Later, Shi Yu and I took the initiative to ask
The fifth master proposed that he would like to become a disciple of Master Wuliang, I believe he will not refuse."
We chatted and waited. Unexpectedly, after waiting for more than four hours, the sky had darkened, but Mr. Long Wu still did not come out of the basement.
I didn't expect to wait for so long, and Wang Hai and the bald man also felt a little puzzled, because usually Long Wuye would not "retreat" for such a long time.
Wang Hai was worried that something had happened to Mr. Long Wu and wanted to take a look in the basement. However, the bald man felt that this was inappropriate because Mr. Long Wu had repeatedly told him that while he was practicing in seclusion, no one was allowed to
Entering the basement to disturb him. And more importantly, the door lock leading to the basement has been changed long ago and replaced with a high-grade anti-theft lock. This kind of anti-theft lock is difficult for even professional locksmiths to open, and the key is
Only Master Long Wu has it, so it is not easy for us to get in.
However, this is not a problem for Wen Qingshan. He is a semi-professional treasure hunter. It is common for him to open locks and break mechanisms. Not to mention modern electronic locks, even various strange locks from ancient times.
There is always a way to open it.
Knowing that Wen Qingshan knew how to open locks, Wang Hai immediately made a decision to go to the basement to check on Master Long Wu! Although the bald man still had some concerns, because Long Wu Master had been in the basement for ten hours, it was really abnormal.
, he was also a little worried, so he did not express any objection.
Wang Hai and the bald man led Wen Qingshan and I towards the basement.
After walking down a circular staircase, a heavy iron door stood in front of us.
The bald man pointed at the big iron door, turned to us and said, "This is the door, there's no way to open it."
I took a closer look and saw that this large iron door was really solid. It looked like a bank vault. It was almost impossible to break in by force.
Without saying a word, Wen Qingshan immediately stepped forward, took out a piece of iron wire about fifteen centimeters long from his bag, and carefully inserted one end of the wire into the keyhole of the door.
He fiddled with the wire in the keyhole for a while, and suddenly he heard a "click" sound. It felt like the door lock had been opened. Wang Hai immediately reached out and pushed the door hard, but it didn't move at all.
Wang Hai couldn't help but muttered in confusion: "Huh? Isn't the lock already unlocked? Why can't the door still be opened?"
Wen Qingshan raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, frowned and said: "I guess this door is also equipped with a latch lock. I just opened the exposed lock, and I have to find a way to open the latch lock!"
"The latch lock is fastened from the inside, how can we open it from the outside?"
"Let me try it!" Wen Qingshan said, inserting the wire into the gap between the door and the door frame.
However, the gap between the door and the door frame is so narrow that there is no way for the iron wire to be inserted.
At this moment, Wen Qingshan was at his wits' end. He shook his head and said, "It would be easier if there was just an open lock, but the fifth master inserted the bolt inside and I couldn't open the door."
When Wang Hai heard this, he immediately became anxious. Compared with Long Wuye, who had been alone in the basement for nearly ten hours, this was really a bit abnormal.
He ignored Master Long Wu's instructions not to be disturbed, rushed forward quickly, raised his hand and slammed the big iron door, and shouted at the same time: "Dad! Are you okay?"
However, after slapping for a while, there was no response.
I don’t know if Mr. Long Wu didn’t want to open the door, or if something really happened.
The bald man persuaded Wang Hai from the side: "Young master, don't be anxious first. The fifth master has only Tianxiang, so he will definitely not..."
Before he could finish his words, Wang Hai suddenly turned his head and shouted at him: "What nonsense are you talking about at this time! Find a way to open this door quickly!"
The bald man said in a daze: "Master, aren't you making things difficult for me? How can I open this door? Brother Wen San also said that this door is locked from the inside, and I can't turn into a mosquito and crawl through the crack.
Fly in."
The bald man was originally a joke, but it made my brain jump. I looked carefully and found that there was a thin gap about half a finger wide between the bottom of the iron door and the floor. When I saw this thin gap, I immediately
An idea came to mind, which was to let Wuchenzi turn into thick fog and get inside, and then pull the door bolt open from the inside.
The only problem is that Wuchenzi is a ghost after all. If I summon it in front of Wang Hai and the bald man, I'm afraid it will scare them half to death. But the current situation is urgent, and I don't know what Long will do.
What happened to the fifth master? If he didn't open the iron door in front of him as soon as possible and take a look, his life might be in danger.
No matter what, it was more important to save people. I calmed down and said, "I have a way, maybe I can open this door!"
When Wang Hai heard this, he immediately turned around and asked: "Brother! What can you do? Tell me quickly?"
I raised my head and glanced at him and the bald man beside me, and said, "I have a way to try, but this method is a bit different, and most people will be intimidated."
The bald man asked in a daze: "What is the method? How can it still scare people?"
I glanced at him and replied word for word: "Use the magic of attracting ghosts!"
"What!? A trick... a ghost trick..." When the bald man heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and Wang Hai also looked shocked. I quickly winked at Wen Qingshan, and Wen Qingshan immediately understood.
, hurriedly explained: "You don't have to worry, Shi Yu is already very good at summoning ghosts, and there will definitely be no mistakes."
The bald man was stunned for a while and asked tremblingly: "Are you planning to summon a ghost to open this door?"
I nodded and said: "And they are not ordinary ghosts, but ghosts with certain abilities. Ordinary ghosts have not yet gathered their energy to form, and cannot move objects. Even if they are summoned, they cannot open the door."
When he heard that it was a ghost summoned, Wang Hai became even more frightened. His face turned pale, his mouth was slightly open, and he didn't know what to say. Back then, he had his soul devoured for offending the evil god in an evil temple, and in that temple
The evil god is actually a ghost, so he is quite afraid of ghosts.
