Qiu Zhengren is quite sophisticated, avoiding which organization he belongs to, but responding to Gaode's claim of "see progress" with the attitude of a businessman facing customers.

The problem is that Gao De is still touching the elephant in the fog, how do you know what "materials" he has?

However, Gao De can be sure of one thing, even if the Tonggushan Mine is not a direct industry of the Darkhand Blood Tower, it is also closely related to the Darkhand Blood Tower.

The industry of the Dark Hand Blood Tower is not limited to Zhongjing, and only a small part of the countless demons who originally came and went in the gray realm were active in Zhongjing. Chu Niangzi has been in business for hundreds of years, and there must be members and industries all over the place. It's just that compared to the hub of Zhongjing, the local members and industries are inevitably much lower-level.

The core of the Darkhand Blood Tower is the Ming bureaucracy, and the officials who can make an exception and preside over affairs for many years in the mines directly under the Ministry of War are unlikely to avoid the sight of the Darkhand Blood Tower, or they can do so with the help of the power of the Darkhand Blood Tower.

Therefore, the "adult" in Qiu Zhengren's mouth most likely refers to the secret hand blood tower. As for the "owner", Gao De thinks it should be the Blood Tower Society. The Blood Tower Society was gradually spawned by the Dark Hand, and later incorporated too many demon forces, so that the Dark Hand lost its absolute dominance. And the core of the Blood Tower Society is the merchants, not the maritime merchants on the side of the Sea Tower Society, but the merchants whose careers are rooted in Aurora.

Having determined this, Qiu Zhengren's seemingly hard and soft posture is easy to understand.

This guy is panicking, he should have had a one-line contact with a certain dark wrist before, but now not only can't contact the dark wrist, but even the dark hand blood tower has been burned, and he can't enter the gray realm at all.

Now he should be worried about his future, and his heart should be divided into three petals. One petal hopes to find the organization again, one petal is looking for the relationship between the Blood Tower Society and the Sea Tower Society, and the other petal should have the ambition to start his own business. Since Gao De's identity is unknown and verified, it is naturally difficult for him to determine which heart to take out to show his position.

But no matter how clearly he thinks about it, he can't come up with strong evidence, and brute force alone may not be able to make him reveal the truth.

Gao De was hesitating, and his hood was gently pulled by Edamame. Turning his head to see her shaking her hands into a fist behind her back and shaking it slightly, that was the meaning of direct hands, and she couldn't help laughing.

"Don't be impatient," this is a good opportunity to exert pressure, he pretended to say to Edamame: "Master Qiu is cautious, and he will naturally keep his mouth shut if he doesn't see the proof, which proves that he is still credible?" You say yes, right?"

Finally, ask Qiu Zhengren? This guy suddenly lowered his posture, lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "Thank you for your understanding?" Messy right now? Contemptible people have to be more attentive. ”

"I don't think you're going to make a list that others can see with the naked eye," Gao De dared to continue to touch? "And seeing is believing, you take me to see those things. ”

"This ......" Qiu Zhengren is a little embarrassed? " So late? It's hard to arrange for a while. ”

It's the rhythm of delaying time to find someone to verify your identity and call for help at the same time.

Gao De really wanted to do it, but he held back his thoughts. Is this the other party's territory after all? After all, he is also Zixuan and not the deity? It's best if you don't have to do it.

"It seems that you won't believe it if you don't let you see the token," Gao De sighed, "It's a pity that the magic tower collapsed, the gray realm was closed, and people were caught and fled?" Nothing can make you believe. ”

He manipulated Zixuan to stand up and instructed Edamame: "Stand back? Points to note. ”

At this time, it's too late to warn Edamame, you can only trust her.

Sink into Zifei's heart with your mind? The power of the demon Nazas figure was stimulated, and the purple light visible to the naked eye erupted? In an instant, a translucent phantom was woven and wrapped around Zi Silk's body. Is that a tall, majestic demon? Pairs of corners on the top of the head? The dazzling purple light condensed into his eyes made Qiu Zhengren feel numb, and he involuntarily spewed out strands of turquoise light to wrap his body for protection, but they fluttered like willows in the wind.

"I'm Mima of the other part of the organization," Gauder said in an ethereal voice, "the Demon Lord is with me." ”

Qiu Zhengren hadn't spoken yet, but Edamame Doudou screamed.

She shouted in horror, "Didn't you say don't show your true identity outside, it's too dangerous!"

This shows that she is different from Plush Fluff, Fluffy will not exclaim, but will pretend to be okay and secretly ask Gao De to expose it. Edamame trusts Gao De more, and feels that even if Zi Xuan is a terrible demon, she is still under Gao De's control. So even if I didn't suppress my surprise at the first time, I still cleverly made amends.

"Venerable, Venerable......"

Qiu Zhengren did not doubt that he had him, and hurriedly followed: "Venerable is about to receive the supernatural powers!

The purple light dissipated, and Qiu Zhengren's face swelled with relief: "It turned out to be from the Demon Lord's line, and there was news from Zhongjing earlier that the Demon Lord's line had a problem first, and then there was a series of troubles in the organization." I didn't expect the demon lord to hide there, and now the adults are borrowing the sorority to rebuild the organization. ”

Then he suddenly realized: "Did His Holiness follow the beast troupe out of Zhongjing?

This person's status in the Dark Hand is not low, and he knows that the Dark Hand Blood Tower also uses the Sisterhood to control a pair of demon heralds.

It's a pity that no one knows that this pair of demons heralds has long become his virtuous figures, and the herald's reef where the demons are located has also become his personal gray realm.

"The villain will be arranged," Qiu Zhengren smiled with a smile on his face, and his posture was more respectful: "The villain has broken the thread with the organization, and he is worried about the road ahead." ”

Seeing that you are still splashing ink, I don't think you are so sad, but more like you are full of ambition.

Gao De waved his hand: "You arrange it, as soon as possible." ”

Qiu Zhengren took out the intercom and ordered, Gao De turned to his desk and looked at it, and saw that it was a blank piece of paper.

"Are you still interested?" Gao De asked casually, looking at the various colors of paint next to the white paper. "Do you paint landscapes or people?"

"There is everything," Qiu Zhengren smiled enthusiastically, "Since the materials are ready-made, the villain also learned to paint when he was a teenager, so he simply produced and sold some of his own paintings." ”

Material...... Produce and sell something oneself......

In an instant, Gao De's mind was confused again, how could this painting be related to the underground industry of the mine?

"This is just painted by the villain," Qiu Zhengren took a piece of drawing paper from the dark shelf in the corner and spread it on the table, "and invite the adults to taste it." ”

The painting depicts a woman with a jade body, and the near-freehand ink painting style does not feel obscene at first glance, but a touch of red lips is like the finishing touch, making the whole painting look beautiful. What's even more bizarre is that the small dark red flower in the middle of the chest swayed slightly, like a living thing, as if if you could enter the place where you can burn your soul by throwing yourself into it.

This painting is weird!

Gao De hurriedly reined in the somewhat scattered demonic power, entered the transcendent vision, and suddenly saw the wisps of purple light condensed into a turbulent figure, like a willow branch brushing his heart, rippling on the surface of the water of demonic power.

"This is ......," he struggled to make his tone indifferent, "what are you drawing?"

"This is the Twelve Crowns," Qiu Zhengren thought he was asking about something on the painting, and pointed to something peeking out of the woman's feet, "Isn't the Emperor's crown a plaything to her?"

This is...... Queen!?

Gao De's consciousness poured into Zi Silk's body like a torrent, wrapping her mind tightly, and Zi Fei lost her mind in an instant like a worm in amber, and every detail from her body to her perception was completely controlled by Gao De.

The angry waves churned in Gao De's heart, this guy actually painted a picture of the empress's spring palace!

Of course, he is not as concerned about the empress as he is about Xiaoli, but after all, he is the boss who pays the salary, and he is still a beautiful girl who is willing to dedicate her youth and even her life to protect the Ming Dynasty, Gao De is very admired and respected. Not to mention painting a picture of the Spring Palace, even scolding her for a few heavy words is guilty in Gao De's opinion.

This Qiu Zhengren, the name is not good, you are asking for benevolence.

Gao De tried his best to calm down, and the point was not the spring palace picture, but the painting was very strange.

"Can this be sold too?" he finally couldn't help asking, "Who will buy it?"

"Adults don't seem to be familiar with our small businesses," Qiu Zhengren no longer doubts Gao De's identity, "The paint for painting is produced by us, black is the gray of the demons, and red is the brains of the demons." The magic paintings made with these pigments have the power to move people's hearts, and they are the necessary elegant objects for literati and ink writers and Qingliu celebrities to cultivate their minds. ”

Magic Painting ...... Self-cultivation ......

Gao De muttered casually, completely sincerely: "I haven't seen much in Zhongjing." ”

"Zhongjing, there are Yulinwei and Xingtian, everyone has to abide by the rules on the face," Qiu Zhengren had a sense of superiority, and Zhongqi was enough: "There is not so much control in the locality." What's more, the mundane atmosphere of Zhongjing is too heavy, and the gentlemen prefer to hide in the mountains and forests. Of course, everyone will not directly call it a magic painting, but call it ...... Spirit painting, implying that there is a spirit in the painting. ”

"Don't get me wrong, Venerable, the villain is only selling materials, and he is not the same kind as those elegant people. Our materials can be used for both painting and artifact, and in fact there are more buyers of the latter. Painting is only used by villains for pleasure, and leftovers are also used. The villain's painting skills have not yet started, so they are sold to those countrymen who are elegant and don't know how to paint. ”

"By the way, the people below should be ready," Qiu Zhengren asked, "If it is convenient for His Holiness, go down with the villain to have a look." ”

Gao De roughly understood what the so-called material was, he picked up the picture of the empress's spring palace, and said unceremoniously: "This painting is not bad, can Director Qiu give it to me?"

"Send it away," Qiu Zhengren realized that it was quite inappropriate to show a girl the picture of the Spring Palace, and said embarrassedly: "Let the Venerable deal with it, it is quite taboo in Zhongjing, and the Venerable has to be careful." ”

"You dare to paint and sell," Gao De sneered: "I thought you were really not afraid." ”

"The sky is high and the emperor is far away," Qiu Zhengren said with a smile, "It's just that it's not something to be afraid of." ”

The emperor is far away, but the emperor's eagle dog is near.

Gao De rolled up the drawing paper, and the idea of burning it immediately after returning was extremely firm, but when he stuffed it into Zi Silk's sleeve, it became for Zi Silk to send it to himself. This guy's painting is passable, and it's a magic painting, as long as you open your mind, I'm afraid you can see a more beautiful scene, it's a good collection. It was the first time he had seen the sleek Empress...... No, it's the first time I've seen someone draw a sleek empress. As an otaku who could lick even paper people in his previous life, it must be a lie to say that he doesn't want to appreciate it carefully.

Qiu Zhengren led him downstairs and turned to the other side of the building. Through three guarded access controls, and then from the unusually wide look at the elevator used to transport goods down, it is estimated that at least twenty or thirty floors down before stopping. Gao De estimated that this place should be related to an underground mine, perhaps a part of the mine.

After exiting the elevator, I stepped into what resembled a high-end hotel, with a long corridor covered with carpets and several rooms on either side. The lights were bright, and the ground was not cold, but Edamame was shivering and looked very uncomfortable.

"Let's start from here...... Qiu Zhengren opened the first door on the left, "The materials here are all made of elegant things, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, everything." ”

The elegantly furnished room is not large, and there is a circle of glass cabinets against the wall, as Qiu Zhengren said, all cultural utensils.

"These are the pigments needed for magic paintings, which are generally black, white and red, and other colors are difficult to make up, so they have to be customized. ”

"This is a magic inkstone for writing, and it has to be ground with the pure liquid after extracting the blood. ”

"This is the magic flute, made of arm bones or calf bones, and the magic flute is made of thigh bones. The piano over there is made of hamstrings, the chime is the skull, the drum is the skin, and the cymbals are the shoulder blades. ”

"These utensils are very particular about making them, not as simple as making ordinary musical instruments, there must be craftsmen who specialize in making magic tools, we just provide the materials. ”

Qiu Zhengren explained the same, and the more Gao De listened, the more frightened he became. Although I guessed it, I still had a numb scalp when I saw it with my own eyes.

It's hell on earth......

Edamame next to her whispered and recoiled, she was looking at something at the other counter.

"That's a magic chess, it has to be made with a demon with the power of a strange demon, and it is burned out of bones. Qiu Zhengren explained in an expert's tone: "The chess pieces contain the power of strange magic, and chess players will use such chess pieces to get out of the fairy game that they can't get out of the ordinary racking their brains, so every famous chess player in the world will do everything possible to buy a pair of ...... Lingqi. ”

Gao De gave Edamame a concerned look, and the gray bean sprouts were a little pale, but they still nodded stubbornly to indicate that they were fine.

He knew why Edamame was the way he reacted, these artifacts emitted a misty magic light under his detached vision, it was not the magic light emitted by people or gray weapons when they used the power of demons, but it was as static as a magic painting, with a decaying and even rancid aura. The demonic power in the artifact was originally melted into flesh and blood, but what method was used to make the material and freeze it at the same time to ensure that the demonic power would not volatilize quickly.

Edamame has the power of strange magic, and is extremely sensitive to artifacts that also contain the same power, and the accompanying corrupt aura is naturally more obvious.

Gao De waved his hand and said, "Look at the others, whether they are used more and more commonly." ”

"Of course there is," said Qiu Zhengren, "and it's not all dead...... I mean, things that look like dead people, Tonggu Mountain is better at living objects. ”

Live......

Following him out of the door, Gao De asked, "All the materials come from your miners? These people are not yet at the level of demons." ”

"They're just eggs that haven't hatched yet," says Qiu with a hint of pride, as if to highlight the advantages of his own chicken farm: "Compared to places that grow quickly, we take care of them to ensure that we hatch the highest quality substrates." ”

Gao De and Edamame glanced at each other, clearly from the bustling Zhongjing to the backward countryside, and in addition to being shocked, the mood at this time was like Grandma Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden.
