Walking into the back alley with a cigarette in his mouth, the light bulbs hanging on the walls were not very far away. There were a few dead sparrows scattered on the ground, and after a few fiddling sessions, the few sparrows in front of me died. But the death was strange, and there were no signs of being attacked by a wild cat or any other small beast.

I held one of the sparrows up and put it under the light to look at it, and in the light I could see a faint reflection. With a gentle pull of his fingers, he actually pulled a needle from the sparrow's chest.

"How can it be a needle?"

I was a little curious to myself, but at this moment, there was a sudden "whoosh" sound in my ear, and then there was a pain in the earlobe, and when I reached out and touched it, the earlobe was actually shot by a needle, and a few drops of blood flowed down my eardrum.

"Whoosh ......"

Several more bursts hit the ground in front of me, one of which grazed my shoulder. I hurriedly hid in the doorway next to the alley, not daring to look in.

Earlier, I heard that there were masters in the circle who would kill people with silver needles, and there were all kinds of Qimen kung fu practiced on the road. The silver needle is more effective than a flying knife when it is used, the speed is fast, the resistance is small, and it is not easy to detect.

These sparrows that were shot down were probably a trap, just to lure me out to check, and only the place where I was standing in the whole alley was lighted, and it was a target.

But it's a little strange that the other party was able to kill the sparrow and didn't hit me a few shots in a row.

Hiding in the doorway, in the dark, he opened his mouth and shouted outward: "Friends outside, which way? Why don't you do it without saying hello? It's too unkind." ”

"Yu Monkey matter, you and your people don't interfere again, this time it's just a warning, and the next time you interfere, it's your head that will be shot through. ”

There was a reply in the darkness on the other side, and the accent did not sound like that of Shanghai.

"Hey, it's not like this to do business, catch the monkeys by their own ability, and they can't kill people!"

I shouted, but waited a while and there was no reply. Only then did I slowly poke my head out, the alley outside was quiet, I pulled out my Tushan knife and walked out vigilantly, and after a few minutes I was sure that the person who attacked me was gone.

"Xiaoshan, why have you been there for so long?"

Zhong Yong also drank a little and shouted with a smile.

I put a few needles on the table, lit a cigarette and said, "Ambushed." ”

As soon as I heard this, the three people on the other side immediately woke up and hurriedly asked me what was wrong. When I had made things clear, the fat man slapped the table and shouted, "Damn it, you're looking for death!

Zhong Yong held a few silver needles, looked at them carefully, and said, "I know who ambushed you. ”

"Brother Yong knows this?"

I asked curiously.

Zhong Yong nodded, turned the silver needle and said, "Look carefully, whether the other end of this silver needle is engraved with something." ”

I hurriedly picked out a silver needle and looked at it, one end of the silver needle was sharp, but the other end was cylindrical, and at one end of the cylindrical shape seemed to be engraved with some patterns, and it looked like words.

"Hey, there's something carved there!"

Luo Qiong said in surprise.

"There are not many people who kill people with needles on the rivers and lakes, and there are only three or four famous ones. This needle is their weapon, but the technique is difficult to practice, because it is too light and too thin, there are about three stages of practicing this silver needle, the first stage is to practice the head, the flying knife is big, and you can see the trajectory of flight when you throw it out, but the silver needle is thin, and you can't even find where it falls when you start practicing. Therefore, the accuracy of this first stage of training is actually to train eyesight, and the masters who kill people with flying needles have excellent eyesight. It's not much worse than a pilot who flies a fighter jet. The second stage is to practice the feel, and the needle can not be thrown with brute force, but must be skillful. If you throw the needle too hard, you will hit the ticket, and if you don't use force, you won't be able to fly far. It's a hard feeling. The third stage is to cast spells and refine poisons, and every master who uses needles is also a master of spell casting. It is also common to apply voodoo to silver needles. But the recipe is often known only to the person who uses the needle. I see that you are shot in the earlobe but you are fine, or the opponent's kung fu has not yet arrived home and has not practiced to this third stage. Either the other party deliberately didn't poison you, in order to warn you. ”

Zhong Yong is really well-informed, I couldn't help touching my ears, there was no bleeding, but there was still a slight pain.

"I guess I didn't poison it on purpose, and the black shadow I saw earlier may be his spell. It seems that there are really a lot of people who are eyeing us, who were skeletons before, and now they are silver needles, and they all treat us as soft persimmons. ”

I sneered as I held the silver needle.

"The silver needle is engraved with the needle family or his own name, generally do dirty work or kill the master when he does not dare to use the needle engraved with his name, he now dares to use this needle, it is tantamount to telling you his name and identity. In fact, to put it bluntly, I am not afraid of your retaliation, Xiaoshan, we are really flattened. ”

Zhong Yong lit a cigarette and said with a serious expression.

"And maybe that's a good thing, they see us clearly. I think we are not powerful, and we underestimate the enemy, and sometimes it is fatal. ”

I pinched the silver needle, and a flame seemed to be ignited in my heart.

Five days later, outside the train station. Zhong Yong was waiting outside in a small pickup truck. The past five days have been peaceful, and we have stopped tracking down the monkeys on the surface, showing their intention to retreat, and naturally no one has come to stare at us.

The news of the monkey spread very openly, and there were constantly masters coming to Shanghai, and the wind released by Mr. Tang was also constant. Three days ago, several groups of people attacked the place where the monkeys were hiding, and in the end, two people were killed and two were injured, but the monkeys still ran away. If you want to take down this powerful monkey king, it's not that simple.

At present, the whereabouts of the monkey are still a mystery, and the bidding price on the black market outside is also increasing. The price of live capture is almost over 1 million, and the price of dead bodies is almost 700,000. I feel like the whole circle is going crazy, who doesn't want to swallow such a huge sum of money in front of them?

The fat man stood in front of the crowd and turned around and shouted at us, "Come, come out!"

The skinny old black appeared in front of us in a tattered coat and carrying a large cloth bag. I'm even more depressed than the last time I saw him, his cheeks are thin, it's obvious that business is not good, and this guy doesn't make money every time.

"Big Black Brother. It's been a hard time on the road, but I look forward to you coming. ”

I said with a smile.

"Boy, don't come to this set of falsehoods, I know you won't pull me into the gang unless you have to. He waved his hand and said angrily, then looked around and whispered, "There are a lot of spies at the train station, let's talk in another place." ”

I nodded hurriedly, beckoned the fat man to get in the car, and drove all the way to the guest house. Luo Qiong had already set up and stayed in the same room as the last time the beads came. Lao Hei estimated that it was the first time he came to Shanghai, and when he looked around, he saw the hot water bottle in the guest house and secretly asked if he could take it away.

"This is Shanghai, tsk, it's a fucking cement building without a tree. There are so many fucking people, and sometimes I can't meet a living person for days in the mountains. ”

He sat on the bed and laughed.

"Let me introduce, you know me and the fat man, this is our brother who joined later, named Luo Qiong. This is my big brother, Zhong Yong. This is the old black big brother I mentioned before that I caught the monkey together this time. Big Black Brother is a good hand at catching earth beasts on the Yunnan-Burma border. ”

I said a few words briefly, and Luo Qiong, the silly boy, nodded with a smile hurriedly. Zhong Yong on the side looked at Lao Hei, and said after a while: "I seem to have heard of your name, Yunnan-Burma Lao Hei, have you ever caught a quack fish in your six decades?"

"It's all old things, don't mention it, it's not a mess now. I haven't heard of your name, but I seem to have an impression of your appearance, so I should have been near Huaijiang in the early years, right?"

Both of them were testing each other's details, and the fat man hurriedly interjected when he saw this, and told Lao Hei about the situation of the monkey.

The old black asked me for a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and said, "You guys don't think right." ”

"Huh?"

I looked at him strangely.

"You're all thinking about how to deal with the monkey, what's the use of that! People have found you, and you still have the energy to deal with the monkey? The first thing we have to do is not to find a way to deal with the monkey, but to find a way to make others dare not step on our heads. ”

"What do you mean, big black brother?"

Luo Qiong asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, let's stand up first!"

He smoked a cigarette and said with a sneer. “
