In the lower reaches of the Erzhi River, there is a bare flat land in the middle of the stream, inhabited by some poor ordinary people, coupled with strange faces and some strange and unprofessional tricksters, resulting in this place called Mao'er Island, which happened to be the beginning of the riots. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Unfortunately, Nanxuezhoutou is also here, so Jieya boarded Mao'erzhou at the agreed time, and in the distance was an ordinary house, and the crowd was gathering in front of one of the houses.

He grabbed a random person, and the man said, "Aren't you coming?" I heard that there are some shocking secrets, anyway, I will die alone, it is better to join in the fun! ”

Something was planned at the back of the crowd, and he was about to squeeze in a little more, but a hand grabbed him behind him.

I turned my head and saw that it was the woman named Shuqing: "You don't have to worry about this now, follow me!" ”

So Shuqing led him all the way away from the crowd, passing by an old square, and finally stopping in front of a small shop.

Jieya looked, behind this shop is a livestock slaughterhouse, there is a wall of knives hanging in the open window behind, the ground in front of the door has countless cracks, there is an iron furnace standing outside, the bellows is still open, the molten iron is rolling red lines, but the person is gone.

Therefore, this shop is very incongruous here, and it looks very eye-catching, with a plaque that reads "Nanxuezhou Head", and there is nothing except a dark door.

Jie Ya watched Shuqing walk over without hesitation, and couldn't help but guess in his heart.

When I entered, I realized that there was only a high stool at the end of the hallway, and a very small man sat on it, his feet dangling in the air, but his beard was dragging to the ground.

He quickly climbed down from the stool after seeing Shuqing come in, and then bent down and saluted: "Could it be him?" ”

Shuqing nodded, and the little man quickly dragged out an iron box from behind the stool, and then half of his body plunged into it, rummaging through it.

"What the hell is this place?"

Shuqing pointed behind the little man, where there was a second iron box, but it was larger and heavier, and the lock was in the position of three digital wheels that could be turned.

"In the eyes of the average person, this is just a place to store things," the little man explained, holding up a key, "Some people like to keep things that are not visible here for a while, and then take them back when they remember." ”

The key was small, with "78" written on the top of it, and Jie Ya squinted to see that the box was densely packed with this kind of thing.

"If you find the right key, this is the entrance."

The little man kicked the lid of the box, turned to the other box and tossed the wheel, and everyone waited patiently for him to dial "78" before inserting the key in.

The keyhole twisted twice, and there was a metallic turn, and the box suddenly lifted from the ground and slowly moved to the side.

The ground opened a gap, Shuqing walked ahead, and then the cliff followed, and the two of them penetrated the entrance at the bottom of the box, and in a short time, they came out of a stone cave covered with fallen leaves.

From here there is a forest, and several stone statues of animals can be seen at intervals.

Shuqing always stopped in front of the stone statues, and Jie Ya carefully examined one of them.

The short-haired monkey rides on an elk, and the direction of the antlers seems to have a deep meaning.

Sure enough, Shuqing adjusted the path under his feet, and the cliff always followed silently, and when a layer of frost rose on the vegetation, there was a crisp cracking sound when he stepped on it, and the two of them finally came to the middle of the forest.

There was a small wooden house with a green pine needle roof, and a young man stood in front of the door and waved at it, and then led them into a study: "Sister Shuqing, they should be back soon." ”

Shuqing pointed to the young man and introduced to Jieya: "This is Bai Qian, if there is anything you don't understand, he will tell you." ”

Bai Qian's height is not high, he raised his head and secretly glanced at the cliff, immediately blushed, and stammered: "I didn't expect you to really come!" ”

He then dragged him to sit on the long table on the right side of his study, and noticed a well-packed bookshelf behind him, with a portrait of a wolf's head hanging on the wall in front of him.

There was a window on the roof, a string of iron hooks hung vertically, and the charcoal stove hung not far from the tabletop.

You can see the sky outside through the window, but you can't tell the time of day.

"Sure enough, it's you! I know all about you, and I've been looking forward to this day for a long time! ”

Bai Qian came over with a plate and placed the teacup in front of Jieya, but he was still standing next to him excitedly.

Jieya only felt inexplicable for a while, and before he could ask, Bai Qian said again: "That's right! I heard that you have a bone knife, I read in books, and no one can do it, except you! ”

"Isn't it amazing?"

"Of course! Like they say, you're sure to take us back to Yudu! ”

This young man named Bai Qian had a sincere face, and quietly clenched the hand holding the tea tray, his eyes were full of reverence.

Although Jieya only stayed in the study hall for a very short time, he always felt that this place called the secret meeting should not be what he was looking like in front of him.

So he turned his head and asked Shuqing, who was not far away: "What do you want me to do here?" ”

Shu Qing's gray eyes had been staying on his face, but at this moment, he suddenly turned to Bai Qian next to him.

Bai Qian replied honestly: "Fang Ruobao took the others to Mao'erzhou, saying that he would come back after packing the box, and Ao Qian should be on the way." ”

Then he pointed to the other end of the study: "Why don't I call the old man out first, after all, there is such a big thing today?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the study was pushed open by Fang Ruolian, and then several mermaids rushed in, Bai Qian immediately happily took two steps back and turned into the inner room, leaving only Shuqing and Jieya in place.

Most of them were young and middle-aged, with dark skin, some signs of poverty on their faces, skinny and wrapped in tattered clothes.

As soon as they entered, they stood like this, pointing back and forth to the cliff where they were the only one seated, and one or two of them even stood on their feet and stuck their heads out.

It didn't take long for Bai Qian to walk out with a white-bearded old man, and when he raised his eyes, everyone was silent, it seemed that this was the person in charge.

Sure enough, he walked over towards the diameter of the cliff, Bai Qian pulled out the stool, he waved his hand, and looked at the cliff with empty eyes: "I didn't expect to be so young...... But it's good to come! ”

Then he asked Fang Ruobao and Shuqing to come and sit down, and the rest of the people consciously gathered around the sides of the long table, and stroked their beards with one free hand: "Ao Xiang hasn't come yet...... Don't wait, he's busy enough. ”

A room of people silently turned their eyes to the cliff sitting at this end, and the white-bearded old man slowly straightened his waist: "This is the largest gathering point of the Dark Society in the Borrowing River, I am the person in charge here, if you want to know anything, just ask......"
