Outside the basement, the man called guild leader stood at the table and looked at a piece of information copied on silk.
Someone came up from the basement, came to him and offered a bracelet.
"Guild leader, it seems that song Hong''s Apprentice really doesn''t know where the divine light stone is. There is only such a bracelet with a silver shell that can be opened and closed. It seems that something has been loaded. Maybe it has been loaded with the divine light stone."
"Show me."
"Yes."
The gang leader took a look at the bracelet and said in doubt: "... There seems to be nothing strange about this thing?"
"Yes, we have seen it for a long time. We only know what metal it is, but we don''t know the texture."
"It''s possible. Well, the one above is coming soon. You can offer it directly at that time."
"Yes! What about song Hong''s Apprentice?"
"I didn''t expect to ask from her at first. Throw it there, feed some medicine and don''t kill it. Then let song Hong exchange the divine light stone for his apprentice."
"Yes! Sect leader is wise!"
My subordinates thought that even if they didn''t intend to ask at the beginning, the guild leader just stepped on the girl''s foot... It''s worthy of being the guild leader and has the coldness that people who really achieve great things should have.
"Wait, this thing, I know what it is."
A strange voice came from the door.
The leader''s voice became respectful: "Sir, here you are. Since you know this, please take over."
Then he said coldly to his subordinates:
"Step back!"
The subordinate bowed his head and hurriedly stepped back.
He knows that this is a great big man. He is higher than their guild leader.
"Wait a minute," someone called his subordinates and told them, "Song Hong''s apprentice, don''t torture her anymore. Be careful to kill her. Keep it. It''s useful."
"Yes!" My subordinates hurriedly replied.
After a while, someone went into the basement, pinched the girl''s cheek, took out a pill and stuffed it into the girl''s mouth.
She had no swallowing action, so the man roughly stuffed the medicine into her throat with his fingers, brought a glass of water, pinched her throat and forced it in.
The water flowed into the trachea and the girl choked.
The man patted her on the throat, confirmed that the medicine had been swallowed by her, put it into the water cup and left.
Only the girl hung her head and coughed from time to time.
The basement was silent.
For a long time, the girl slowly raised her head and showed a haggard face.
Xiao Qiu.
She looked down at her abdomen.
The limbs are cold, only there is a slight fever.
The divine light stone is not there, it''s in her stomach.
Anyway, she saved this thing for master.
Two months ago.
Shifu took the treasure of the town palace, the divine light stone, from the sea Moon Palace.
Xiaoqiu still remembers the amazing feeling of seeing Shenguang stone for the first time.
It was a long, slender, polygonal stone.
There are several sections, but they are not as transparent as gemstones. It is opaque during the day, but it shines brightly at night.
Moreover, under its light reflection, it will make some things that would not shine at night also have short-term luminous ability.
The soft and warm light and shadow, like the protection of gods, makes people feel very relieved when they see it.
Song Hong picked up the Shenguang stone and a chain beside the Shenguang stone.
At the end of the chain is a hard metal shell.
When it is closed, it can just put the Shengguang stone in, fit the slot and lock it tightly.
By pressing a bulge on the shell at the connection with the chain, it can be easily opened to expose the divine light stone.
Song Hong looked at the Shenguang stone over and over, but he really couldn''t see any secret, so he had to put it down for the time being.
He put the chain with Shenguang stone on Xiaoqiu''s arm and covered it with his sleeve. At that time, the weather was a little cold. They wore a lot of clothes and couldn''t see that they were wearing chains.
"Keep it for me. Sometimes I fight with people and don''t care about my things, so it''s safer for you to hold it." Song Hong said. He usually puts light sundries in a cloth bag for Xiaoqiu to carry.
Xiao Qiu nodded quickly.
"This thing is extremely important to me. You should take care of it in the same way as taking care of life. Don''t lose it." Song Hong asked seriously.
Xiaoqiu is also serious.
Although this thing master gave her is a very important treasure, it is also like a bracelet.
It''s like a gift.
She grew up in the lonely garden and never received any gifts, but she knew that children in rich families would have gifts on their birthdays. She was very envious, but her childhood experience made her not say it or fight.
Does master know her birthday is five days later?
You must know.
Xiaoqiu is looking forward to it in her heart.
That''s why I gave her the divine light stone, which was so beautiful and important and took so much effort to grab, and let her wear it on her hand.
There was a trace of happiness and sweetness in her heart.
Shifu is always very strict, but sometimes she is very kind to her.
Later, they went to several places.
If the divine light stone is robbed, it will certainly attract the attention of many people. Originally, the sea Moon Palace has been hiding the existence of this thing, but once it is robbed, they must make it public and let everyone rob it.
But song Hong still wants to keep this stone. So I''ve been hiding with her. The money ran out quickly. In fact, they didn''t save much money before. Song Hong often gets drunk and gambles when he is in a bad mood.
Song Hong''s decadence is temporary. Xiaoqiu always takes care of him thoughtfully until he recovers from his depressed state, cheer up again, start teaching Xiaoqiu to practice martial arts and start making money.
Because there was no money, song Hong had to venture to a big border city such as kangu city and began to find acquaintances to earn money.
Although he was very careful, his trace inevitably leaked out.
On the same day, song Hong sent Xiaoqiu to the inn, let her stay, and left. Xiaoqiu didn''t sleep. She lay in bed waiting for her master to come back.
Although Xiaoqiu was wrapped in a quilt, she was worried and couldn''t sleep at ease.
After waiting for a long time, she heard a slight sound outside the window. Then someone opened the door.
The door was locked, but the visitor opened it silently, and did not hear the collision of keys.
Xiaoqiu immediately understood that she was a master.
Someone pinched the latch locked by the door with his internal force and pushed the door open.
They must have come for the divine light stone, Xiao Qiu guessed.
Shifu has been famous for so long, and she has been with Shifu for nearly two years. She has never encountered such danger. After taking the Shenguang stone, the danger comes one after another. This time, master is not around, but the enemy has a real master. She is very dangerous.
Therefore, Xiaoqiu quickly opened the metal shell on the bracelet in the quilt, picked up the Shenguang stone the size of ginkgo, swallowed it without hesitation and tried to swallow it.
Master said that the divine light stone is very important to him and must not be lost.
Her martial arts are not good enough to keep such an important treasure. However, she will use her own way to complete the entrustment of Shifu.
At that moment, she didn''t think about whether there would be any unpredictable consequences if she swallowed this magical stone.
Then she was knocked unconscious and taken away.
Then she was awakened by water and found herself in a dark basement.
Moreover, they were tortured, beaten and interrogated with whips.
Those people really came for the Shenguang stone. Xiaoqiu thought happily that she had protected the stone in advance.
She will never hand over the divine light stone.
Because that''s what master entrusted to her for safekeeping. It''s what master attaches most importance to. She will love her own life... No, she will love it more than her own life.
Xiaoqiu, never thought about it from beginning to end, handed over the stone in exchange for his own peace.
