Ah Lian wanted to knock on Liu Zongxuan's closed door, but Ma Xie stopped her.

"Wait a little longer, he should be out soon. Ma Xie said: "I think he has reached the most critical moment." ”

The sound of the cave gradually became rapid, and it was very rhythmic, as if music was playing.

Ma Xie and Ah Lian listened attentively, and the wonderful music became more and more rapid, but suddenly it took a sharp turn, and became smooth and gentle, until at last there was no sound at all.

"Is the performance over?" asked Allian.

"Ding!" a crisp sound sounded, and the performance in the cave finally ended.

The gate slowly opened, and a puff of green smoke emerged from the cave.

"Mom, what is this!?" Ah Lian hid behind Ma Xie's back.

"Ahem, ahem!" A cough sounded, and Liu Zongxuan walked out of it.

He looked as if he had just come out of the coal mine, and there were two eyeballs on his face, none of which were not black.

"What's wrong with you? How did you get this way. Ma Xie walked up and asked.

"I'm still overestimating myself, I can't make that thing with my current strength. Liu Zongxuan hung his head and said.

Looking at Liu Zongxuan's dejected appearance, Ma Xie knew that he wanted to create a powerful secret weapon, but unfortunately it seemed that he had failed.

Ma Xie patted Liu Zongxuan's shoulder and said, "It's okay, let's take a look at the information of the poisonous scorpion first, and it doesn't matter if there is no hidden weapon." ”

"There are hidden weapons, but the strongest one has not been made. Liu Zongxuan took out a burden from behind his back and put it on the ground: "Come, I'll give you a point." ”

The baggage was opened, and it was densely packed with all kinds of hidden weapons, a total of more than a dozen.

"These ...... Did you make it all these days?" Ma Xie asked.

"It took about three days!" Liu Zongxuan said: "It's a pity that the 'Heavenly Demon Surrender' was not completed, if I had that thing, I think I would definitely be able to beat the old thief of the poisonous scorpion half to death." ”

"So powerful?" Ah Lian said, "Is that still a secret weapon?"

"It's kind of a trap, it's still a bit big, after all. Liu Zongxuan said.

Ma Xie and Ah Lian looked at the hidden weapons in the baggage, it was indeed varied, Ma Xie took a fancy to a small sword, the length was about the same as a dagger, he picked it up and asked Liu Zongxuan, "What is this?"

"Good eyesight! This is the meat of my heart!" Liu Zongxuan said exaggeratedly.

He took the small sword in his hand, and then gently threw it out, only to see that the small sword was divided into two, then two into four, and finally turned into thirty-two small swords, which were neatly inserted into a large stone in front of him.

"If you are good at flying swords, then this is an excellent hidden weapon, thirty-two small swords can be separated at any time, try to think, when the enemy concentrates on resisting this flying sword, there are suddenly more than thirty more, what will he feel!" Liu Zongxuan said proudly: "Ma Xie, don't you use a sword?

"Yes, this sword is a good thing whether it is a surprise attack or a group attack!" Ma Xie was not polite, and put away the short sword.

Liu Zongxuan rummaged through the baggage again, and then handed Ah Lian a round ball.

Ma Xie looked at the round ball, and then took out a certain thing from himself, which was the "Ghost Flying Stone" given to him by Zhong Mengqiu that day, but unfortunately Ma Xie never had the opportunity to use it.

Looking at the things in Ma Xie's hand, Ah Lian said: "Don't you look like this thing is nothing special, doesn't Ma Xie also have one?"

Liu Zongxuan looked carefully at the things in Ma Xie's hand and said, "Why do you have a ghost flying stone?"

"Sent by a friend, this should have been done by you, this thing can only be used to deal with ordinary martial artists!" Ma Xie was a little surprised, he thought that Liu Zongxuan should not fool Ah Lian with any defective products.

"Of course, you are a ghost flying stone, and I am a ghost!" Liu Zongxuan said proudly: "Although the appearance is the same, in fact, the power is completely different. ”

Ah Lian pursed her lips and said, "I don't believe it, you dead fat man must be trying to fool me!"

As she spoke, Ah Lian snatched Ma Xie's Ghost Flying Stone and threw the two stones into the distance together.

"Danger!" Liu Zongxuan grabbed Ma Xie and Ah Lian and lay on the ground.

I heard two loud bangs, "bang!" and "boom!" two loud sounds, and then countless pieces of rubble and dust buried the two of them underneath.

A few feet away from them, two pits, one large and one small, appeared.

The small pit is only a few feet in diameter, while the large pit is as large as five feet in diameter!

"This is a ghostly sorrow! It is equivalent to the full force of a master of the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Realm! I only have three! This is what I brought out from my master!" Liu Zongxuan shouted: "Do you think this is a toy like the Ghost Flying Stone!"

Ah Lian looked at the big pit in front of her dumbfounded, and stammered, "Liu ...... Brother Liu, do you still have this thing......

"I won't give it to you anymore!" Liu Zongxuan got up and patted the soil on his head, "You are a girl, why are you so reckless!"

Ma Xie couldn't cry or laugh, Ah Lian was a little boyish, impulsive and reckless, and Ma Xie felt a long-lost ease with him.

"Forget it, good men don't fight with women, this is the last one, you have to be careful with it!" Liu Zongxuan carefully took out another ghost from his spatial ring.

"Thank you, Brother Liu! Okay, it's time for me to play next!" Ah Lian took out a piece of parchment, which was densely marked with many black dots.

"This is where the scorpion's lair is, the black spots on it are all light and dark whistles arranged by him, I have basically checked it out, although he brought a lot of subordinates this time, most of them are not very strong, there is only one guy named 'Evil Fly', who is the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, but it should not be your opponent." Most of the rest were cultivators who had just entered the Qi Refining Realm, and there were even many martial artists, distributed on the periphery of the lair. Ah Lian gave a brief introduction to the scorpion's nest.

Abducting and selling mortals, in fact, does not need high-level combat power at all, but the lower the strength, the better.

This shows that the poisonous scorpion will also carry out some human trafficking here. "Horse Evil Dao.

"You're right, most of these martial artists are from the same organization, the Three Swords Society, and the leader of the Three Swords Society, Butcher Chen, is himself a cultivator at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm, and as far as I know, he is the mastermind behind the largest smuggling gang of the Pingyang Kingdom's generation. Our 'daffodils' made in Pingyang are the main goods smuggled by this guy, and seventy percent of the daffodils smuggled out of Pingyang every year are secretly sold by the butcher Chen. ”

Narcissus is a special ore abundant in Binh Duong, and all the right to sell it belongs to King Binh Duong.

This ore is an indispensable thing for refining a class of low-grade elixirs, so it has always been one of the most important economic sources of Pingyang Kingdom, and for many years, the right to sell hand daffodils has been firmly controlled by the royal families of Pingyang Kingdom in previous dynasties.

The rarer the thing, the more people will desire it, but every year after King Pingyang sells a part of the daffodils to the thaumaturgical alliance, and the thaumaturgical alliance only sells these daffodils to the sects that join the thaumaturgical alliance.

Therefore, on the black market, this kind of daffodil stone has been speculated to a very high price, and the smuggling of daffodils has always been a traditional industry of bandits from all walks of life in the Zhou Kingdom.

And in the last 30 years, the daffodil stones on the black market have been controlled by this guy named Butcher Chen.

In the first 60 years, the butcher Chen had been doing one thing, that is, to open up a smuggling channel from Pingyang Kingdom to Qinglu Jianyuan, and when he succeeded, he immediately launched a crazy killing, and cleaned up all the big smuggling leaders in Pingyang Kingdom, and he monopolized this financial route.

However, the daffodil stones that these bandits can sell only account for a very small proportion of the sales of Pingyang Kingdom, and the Lord of Pingyang Country does not care about this little benefit at all.

But the poisonous scorpion keenly saw the value of this butcher Chen, the little daffodil stone that the butcher Chen mastered was not enough for the poisonous scorpion to consume more things for a closed cultivation at one time, what he liked was the channel for smuggling goods that the butcher Chen mastered.

If this passage can sell daffodils, then it must be able to sell a large number of people.

Moreover, the butcher Chen has been in Pingyang for so many years, and there are people from the imperial court behind him, plus he is low-key and will not do things out of line, and he is almost defaulted to by Pingyang and even Zhou as a private dealer in daffodils, as long as it does not cause great harm to the daffodil industry in Pingyang and Zhou, then Butcher Chen will continue to do this.

And when he heard that the poisonous scorpion was leasing his own line at a high price, the butcher Chen also agreed, for so many years, he never dared to go further, just because he knew that the business of daffodils could only be so big.

Now that there was a bigger business in front of him, he had no reason not to cherish it.

The above is all the centaurs that the scorpion now controls.

The poisonous scorpion and the butcher Chen are both low-key and cautious people, so the poisonous scorpion dared to return to the scope of Lingdu City when the prince of Pingyang was investigating the human trafficking case.

As long as he lies dormant quietly, no one will notice him.

However, he ignored the prestige of the first intelligence division of Lingdu City.

Ah Lian put all her energy on the detective scorpion, and spent a lot of money to get the information of the butcher Chen from her peers, only to know that the butcher Chen was cooperating with the scorpion.

"It's just a small character in the second layer of the Qi Refining Realm, so it shouldn't cause us any big trouble. Liu Zongxuan said.

"Don't underestimate the butcher Chen, his nickname is not called in vain, this person is extremely cautious, but he is really ruthless in doing things, he is with the poisonous scorpion, we still have to be careful. Ah Lian reminded: "Most of Butcher Chen's subordinates are mortals, but he can be favored by poisonous scorpions, and he obviously has his advantages." ”

This sentence is deeply agreed by Ma Xie, the cultivation of cultivators is indeed higher than that of mortals, but when it comes to scheming, they are also human beings, in fact, there is no essential difference, and even the scheming and wisdom of many mortals are far above those of cultivators.

For example, Chen Baiyang, although he is just an ordinary mortal, which cultivator in the Jin Kingdom dares to look down on him?
