Chapter 264: Into the Tiger's Den
In order to ensure that Lu Han could go to meet Li Xiaoshuai and the others in person, and not secretly follow him to the Black Forest to go deep into the tiger's den, Lu Ming took out some pills that had been stored in her backpack before giving her and gave them to her, and after making sure that she was okay to leave, he was relieved.
Watching Lu Han walk away, Lu Ming showed a faint smile on his face, once he goes, his life and death are uncertain, and he doesn't know if the task he accepts is worth it, but if he comes, he will be safe, and he will never be able to do this kind of thing.
At noon, Lu Ming walked into the Black Forest, the environment here is similar to the wilderness, originally it was also a wilderness, but the woods here are relatively lush, many of them are towering trees that are more than a hundred years old, and all of them are such trees within ten kilometers of Fang Yuan. There are a lot of fierce beasts in it, such as tigers and wild wolves. In addition, there are giant pythons and other black bears and the like, these animals absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and most of them become essences, and it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to deal with them. Unless it's a martial artist, you can't do it if your level is too low.
In Wangzhou, the Black Forest is very magical, and it also makes many warriors afraid to enter it. Even the people in the military department will not enter easily, and when they carry out tasks, most of them will choose the wilderness and open areas, unless they have to enter it because of the mission requirements.
However, legend has it that many people did not come out after entering, which adds to the mystery of the Black Forest.
Since these thieves didn't want to kill him, but asked Lu Han to report to him, it showed that they didn't want to kill the people of the team so quickly, but needed Lu Ming to appear in the Black Forest. As for what the purpose is, I'm afraid you won't know until you get there.
The sun outside is a bit scorching, and although you can hide from the sun in the Black Forest, it is very hot. The speed of travel is also slightly sluggish.
It wasn't until about one o'clock in the afternoon that they saw the patrolling thieves, and they brought Lu Ming into the thieves' camp.
Out of a dense forest, the eyes suddenly opened, this is an open meadow, there are many wooden houses on it, the highest is only three floors, in the middle is a white wooden tower, about eight or nine floors, standing in the middle of these low wooden houses, it is particularly eye-catching.
Most of the people here are men, and they gather in groups to talk and laugh. When they saw a stranger coming in, everyone looked at Lu Ming with strange eyes, and for a while, they became a golden bird in the cage, which provoked everyone to watch.
As Lu Han said, these thieves are of relatively high grade, and in the crowd, he has already found several martial artists above the early stage of the fifth grade, well-equipped, and the weapon grade is also very high, and under the backdrop of the equipment, it seems that there is a faint light.
"Sanpin? No, this kid is not as good as my son, my son is all five. ”
"Where did this man come from, and how did he get to our territory? ”
"It won't be a delicate work of the military department. ”
"Light him up on a sky lantern and let him know the consequences of intruding into our world. ”
Everyone was talking and angry, and everyone seemed to be very unwelcome of Lu Ming's arrival.
Under the leadership of the patrols, they came to the foot of the wooden tower. From a distance, the wooden pagoda seems to be small, but when you look closer, you can instantly feel its grandeur. The exterior is coated with a layer of white pigment and then painted with latex paint, which protects the wood from oxidation. The best carver was invited to carve a lot of reliefs, most of which are figures, everyone is lifelike, and the degree of craftsmanship can be imagined.
The outermost part of the bottom floor of the wooden tower is a hall, about more than 200 square meters, which is quite wide. A red carpet in the center, with dark brown floors on both sides, placed on top of more than a dozen Taishi chairs, seven in each row. In the center is a horizontal desk, about five meters long and three meters wide, on which are placed all kinds of antiques and porcelain, and the whole house looks particularly antique, which means to go back to ancient times.
Special attention is paid to the fact that the window grilles are carved very finely, and every knife and stroke is perfect, just like the machine print. Under the window grille is the window sill, on which are placed several pots of fortune bamboo, orchids and other flowers and plants, and the whole thing looks very comfortable against the outside world.
Behind the hall is a house of about 20 square meters, the door is locked from the outside, and it is not very clear what is inside, but there are a few words specially marked on the door frame: confidential room.
It seems that there is an atmosphere of a mix of ancient and modern.
After the patrolling people brought Lu Ming to the hall, they took the door and left.
Lu Ming felt a little strange in his heart, there was no one empty here, who did he want to see when he came over. For the sake of safety, he always keeps his aura in the palm of his hand, as long as there is any trouble, he immediately starts to protect himself, first to ensure that he is still alive, so that he can have the ability to save people.
After a while, a man in a costume came out of another door in the hall, because of the makeup on his face, it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman, just from the dress, the shape and the pace, it should be a woman.
The man had a fan in his hand, and his light steps floated up like a gust of wind.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were still staring at this person until the other party came to him.
"Who are you?"
The man shook his hand and covered his face. "Childe, what do you think of my dress?"
Woman? Sure enough, it's a woman, which play is this woman, why do you want to come out in a costume, do you want to invite yourself to see if she can act?
"So-so, I'm not interested in your costume, hurry up and call your bandit leader out, just say that I, Lu Ming, am here, and I want to meet him. Lu Mingcai didn't have the mood to watch other people's performances, but he felt that this woman came out a little abruptly, and he didn't know what the situation was.
The woman still held the pipa and half-covered her face, fanned the fan, slowly sat on one of the chairs, pointed to the side and said, "Childe, please sit down, don't worry, don't worry, what did you just say your name?"
"Lu Ming!" This girl is very strange, she is still wearing a costume in this thief's den, could it be that the thief captured the actor.
The woman herself went and brought the teapot and other necessary tools, placed them on the table just now, and began her long tea ceremony. She first opened a small stove, placed a ceramic jar on it, filled it with some water, and put it inside, and closed the lid.
