By noon, even though it's still early May, the climate here is already extremely hot and humid.

On the street, there were not many people, Li Can asked the innkeeper about it, but did not ask where the two servants went.

He had a bad premonition, and took Xue Jian directly to a city tower at the south gate of Wanghai City.

Under the tower of this city, there is a group of idle scattered people.

These people will go to the wharf to carry goods when they have work, and when they are not alive, they will be downstairs in this city, providing services for some foreign merchants to guide the way and inquire about the news.

Li Can found someone at random, gave him a silver coin, and found out the whereabouts of the two servants from that person's mouth.

Just an hour ago, a group of wizards of the Five Poisons Sect captured his two servants and took them to the witch temple in the city.

Hearing this news, Li Can did not show an angry and anxious look, but breathed a sigh of relief.

Xue Jian looked puzzled and asked.

"What's going on with the Five Poisons Sect and the Witch Temple?"

Li Can explained in a low voice while taking Xue Jian towards the Witch Temple in the city.

"The Five Poisons Sect is a very large sect among the Southern Wizards, and its influence is very widespread, and this Wanghai City is actually controlled by the Five Poisons Sect, which is considered an official force.

And this witch temple is a place where wizards worship witch gods, and for the people of Nanming, the witch temple is a very sacred place.

They captured two of my men, most likely trying to extort a sum of money that we could get back safely as long as we paid the money. ”

Hearing this, Xue Jian couldn't help but scold even if he knew the customs here.

"Poor and crazy. ”

Li Can said with a wry smile.

"Don't let anyone else hear this, or we'll be arrested by the Five Poisons Sect as well. ”

Soon, the two of them came to the bottom of a hill in the north of the city, and on the top of this hill stood an ancient temple.

As soon as the two of them were about to climb the mountain, two Nanming people wearing strange costumes and wearing coarse cloth scarves on their heads blocked the way.

The two of them chattered, and Xue Jian didn't understand it at all, but Li Can nodded with a smile, and also chattered back.

After handing over the two silver coins to buy the road, Li Can and Xue Jian were allowed to pass by the two.

Ascending to the top of the mountain, at the entrance of the temple, there were actually two people who bought the road money.

To be honest, if it weren't for Xue Jian's deep knowledge of the truth that wealth should not be exposed, a gold coin would have been smashed a long time ago.

Every time they handed over one or two silver coins, they didn't lack them, they just were too annoying.

Just this group of natives, who are shallow in their knowledge and have never seen money, deserve to be poor to death.

Finally, the two walked into the temple.

The square high wall, a long corridor in the courtyard, leads directly to a tall ** temple in front, on both sides are two pools of clear water, at the bottom of the pool, you can see a lot of silver coins, as well as some small amounts of gold coins.

Li Can took out a bag of silver coins from his arms, and after taking a step, he took out a silver coin and threw it into the pool.

Until they walked through this corridor and stood at the entrance of the temple.

At this moment, Xue Jian was extremely suspicious that this Five Poisons Sect was a sect that cheated money.

is really thinking about the law, changing tricks, and defrauding money from foreign businessmen.

In front of the vast temple is a statue carved from ancient wood.

This statue is more than ten meters high, with the head of an eagle and the tail of a snake with wings.

It's hard to believe that such a monster that looks like a human but not a human, a beast and not a beast is actually a witch god that a country believes.

After Li Can walked in, he saw at a glance that on the wooden stake on the left, two servants were tied up.

In addition to them, there were six outsiders who were tied up here.

Seeing someone enter, the four wizards who were kneeling under the statue of the witch god immediately stood up.

The four wizards, dressed as strangely as the people who collected the money outside, except that the scarves and hats on their heads were a little higher.

Li Can put his right hand on his left shoulder, bent down to the four of them and performed a local etiquette, and then opened his mouth to say something that Xue Jian didn't understand.

The four wizards also returned the salute and chattered non-stop.

Xue Jian stood aside, he didn't understand anyway, so he set his eyes on the statue of the witch god and looked at it carefully.

Suddenly, a wizard raised his hand and pointed at Xue Jian, his eyes were angry, and he croaked.

The other three also turned their eyes to Xue Jian, revealing the appearance of looking at the enemy.

Li Can hurriedly explained to Xue Jian.

"In the witch temple, no one is allowed to look directly into the eyes of the statue of the witch god, they consider it a blasphemy. ”

After speaking, he explained to the four wizards in the local language, but the four of them didn't appreciate it very much, and they still kept accusing Xue Jian.

Xue Jian didn't understand it again, but felt that the four of them were like flies in their ears, buzzing and buzzing, so noisy that people's brains were about to crack.

He frowned, flipped his hand and took out a gold coin, shook it in front of the eyes of the four people, and threw it to them.

Isn't it just asking for money? I will give you a gold coin, and I will not be satisfied.

The four of them took a gold coin, and their voices were really quiet.

Li Can also breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that because of this incident, he would get into trouble with the Five Poisons Sect.

Just the next moment, one of the wizards shouted, and more than a dozen strong men in black clothes and headscarves rushed out outside, blocking the gate to death.

Among the strong men who blocked the door, there was a leader who sneered and spoke in the official language of the mainland.

"Boy, disrespect to the witch god is a capital crime, but for the sake of your sincerity, a hundred gold coins buy a human life, and hand over four hundred gold coins, and the four of you can walk out of this door. ”

Li Can and his two servants all changed their expressions.

Before, when their Li family came here to run a business, it was not unheard of this kind of thing.

Generally, they come to the witch temple to worship, pay a hundred or ten silver coins, and the person will be released.

Who knows, they actually opened their mouths today, and the opening was four hundred gold coins.

Li Can can take out this money, and Xue Jian can also take it out, but once it is taken out, what if these people have to take it inch?

Xue saw a sarcastic smile on his face, took a pocket from his waist, and said.

"That's all I have here, which of you wants?"

The leading strong man gave him a look, and immediately one of his men stepped up, ready to pick up the pocket.

Just at the moment of catching the pocket, Xue Jian knocked the man to the ground with his backhand and sneered.

"I will only accept one thousand gold coins for this man's life, and in addition to the four hundred gold coins we should pay, you will have to pay six hundred gold coins, so pay the money quickly. ”

As soon as these words came out, the group of strong men blocking the door, everyone was stupid.

Not only them, but Li Can was also stunned on the spot.

And this kind of operation?

It was only after a moment that the men came to their senses and said angrily.

"You kid is looking for death. ”

A group of people all rushed in, and the four wizards also stared at Xue Jian angrily, chattering, not knowing whether they were scolding him or chanting some incantation.

Xue saw that he took two steps forward, punched and kicked, and two people flew out screaming.

He said calmly.

"Li Gongzi, go and save your men. ”
