Ten Desolate Alleys is a very peculiar alley. [This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

As one of the oldest alleys in Tianzhou, Ten Desolate Alleys is not famous, but for the regular customers of this alley, it is simply a holy place, because there are only shops here that you can't think of, and there are no shops that others dare not open.

For example, there is a black shop that specializes in blood-stained and unlucky antiques, a secret shop that makes all kinds of animals, including dead people, a restaurant that serves some foods that ordinary people dare not eat, a bookstore that specializes in all kinds of yankuai, and a toy store that sells evil dolls.

It is said that this alley was originally called the scavenging alley, which is a gathering place for wanderers and scavengers, and these people dare to collect anything and sell anything in order to survive, which slowly makes this alley form the current style and characteristics, and then changed its name to the good-sounding ten desolate alleys.

Because of the particularity of this alley, it has attracted many guests to come to Taobao and hunt for curiosities, so the alley is quite lively all year round.

It was in this alley that King Hunter went to a restaurant alone to drink for the first time.

Since then, he has been here two or three times, and each time he has been mysterious, and after entering some dead man's clothing shop or ominous antique shop, he has paid a lot of money, and has shut himself up in it for a long time, and even the men do not know what he is doing in it.

No matter how much the spies of Autumn Night Strings investigated, they couldn't find out what the Hunting King was doing in that kind of place.

Of course, on the surface, the Hunting King just came here to sit, drink, watch, play, and buy, and there was nothing out of the ordinary, but for Qiu Yexian, it was very abnormal for the Hunting King to appear in this kind of place, and it was absolutely necessary to find out.

Finally, after tracking for more than ten days, the secret of the Hunting King was finally discovered.

On that day, it was already dark when King Hunt left the barracks, but he did not return directly to the underworld, but turned halfway to the Ten Desolation Alleys.

Although the Ten Deserted Alleys at night are not as lively as during the day, most of the shops will be open all night, but they will not be open and only light candles.

The carriage of the king of the hunt stopped in front of an inn, and the king wrapped in a cloak and entered the inn with the support of his attendants, and asked for a room.

It wasn't long before a woman stepped out of the room, tightly wrapped and her face unbare.

The woman left alone and walked deeper into the alley.

The spy immediately noticed that the woman was dressed as a hunting king, so he secretly followed.

It has entered November, the weather is getting colder, especially cold at night, there are not many pedestrians in the Ten Desolate Alleys, but at this time there are still haunts in the alleys, most of them are mysterious guests who do not want to reveal their origins and purposes, and the black dress of the hunting king is in line with the style here, and it does not seem strange.

Soon, Kamioh stopped in front of a very strange-looking shop with a thick curtain and a low hanging, knocked on the door, and entered.

The agents did not follow up rashly, and after a while they pretended to be passers-by, and saw an old plaque hanging on the door of the small shop, on which there were only two words - Netherworld.

What kind of store is this? It sounds weird.

According to the investigation of his subordinates, this shop is engaged in the business of fortune-telling and disaster relief, and has been operating in Shihuang Lane for five years, and is quite famous. There is only one owner in this shop, who claims to be the owner of the netherworld, and never shows his face in front of people, and no one knows his origin and identity. ”

"The opening time is not fixed, sometimes during the day, sometimes at night, but it will definitely open on a rainy day, and if you want to find the owner, you either pick a heavy rainy day, try your luck, or make an appointment in advance. In addition, the shop charges very expensive. There is a small window on the door, and if a customer wants to enter the store, he must pay a thousand taels of silver before the owner opens the door to pick up the customer. ”

"After talking to the customer, the owner will decide what to charge according to the customer's request and refuse to bargain. It is said that the reason why the Netherworld Master offered such a high price was because he claimed to be a master and only solved incurable diseases, ordinary phases and disasters, which he looked down on. ”

"The subordinates found out so much first. As for the details of the Netherworld master, what did the Hunting King do in the store, and his subordinates are still investigating. ”

This is the report that the secret agent dictated to Autumn Night String in person the next night.

After pondering for a moment, Qiu Yexian ordered: "You send someone to keep an eye on that shop, and be sure to find out the shopkeeper." ”

Look at the fortune telling, solve the worries and eliminate the disaster?

He didn't think that King Hunter was a person who believed in "fate", and it was impossible for him to "tell" his fortune, and there must be a deeper reason for King Hunting to come to such a strange shop when his illness was urgent.

However, for the next few days, the "Nether" remained closed, no one entered or left, and the Hunter never appeared, and the secret agent did not gain anything.

In the past few days, the hunting king has been in a coma several times, and each time he has only been rescued by the imperial doctor before he wakes up.

But King Kai didn't vomit blood again.

Late one night the following day, the Hunting King suddenly disguised himself, walked out of the Floating Cloud Pavilion alone, and secretly left through the back door of the underworld.

The emperor's spies were immediately excited, and hurriedly followed secretly.

King Hunter apparently prepared a pony near the palace, and rode away not long after going out, heading straight for the Ten Desolate Alleys.

The "Nether" actually revealed the light, and the king knocked on the door of the shop, and the door immediately opened, and he dodged in, and then closed the door and turned off the lights.

It is unknown what the Hunter did inside.

However, the agents finally have a chance to find out the true face of the "Nether Master".

As long as you know who the Netherworld Master is, you will be able to find out the purpose of the Hunter King's visit.

It wasn't until the rooster crowed that the king came out of the shop, and there seemed to be something more in his arms.

The spies split into two paths, one way to continue to track the Hunting King, and the other to track the Nether Master.

Even if the master of the netherworld has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to escape the investigation of the emperor's secret agents.

Two days later, the spy reported the details of the nether master to the emperor.

There is only one sentence: "The name of the master of the netherworld is Zhu Ming, and he is the brother of Zhu Guoshi, because it involves the Zhu family, it is inconvenient for his subordinates to investigate." ”

The Zhu family is a very strange family.

There are many strange rules in this family: preference for women over men, no distinction between concubines, determining a person's status in the family by the level of witchcraft, only intermarrying with people with witchcraft, isolating from the world, not contacting outsiders, not revealing any things about the Zhu family, not revealing their Zhu family identity at will, and so on.

Of course, with the Zhu family being crowned a nobleman after making a contribution to the dragon, the Zhu family is not as mysterious as before, but it is still quite closed, and it is not easy for outsiders to investigate the internal situation of the Zhu family.

But it's not that the secret agents can't really find out about Zhu Ming, but it is about the Zhu family, and they need to be cautious and ask the emperor's opinion.

"It's actually someone from the Zhu family." Qiu Yexian looked playful, and turned the two big Buddha beads in his hand very quickly.

King Hunt found the Zhu family, and it was really not as simple as "fortune-telling".

After all, the strongest wizard of the Zhu family is Zhu Wu, followed by Zhu You, and the king of hunting wants to tell fortunes for his family, so he can ask him to come forward, and he will arrange for Zhu Wu and Zhu You to calculate for the king of hunting.

But the king of hunting has never made such a request to him, so he has to bless him, right?

What is so special about Zhu Ming that the Hunting King has to find him?

After pondering for a while, Qiu Yexian ordered: "Heyuan, call Zhu Wu." ”

It didn't take long for Zhu Wu to appear in the imperial study.

"Zhu Ming?" Zhu Wu was very surprised when he heard this name, "He is the eldest brother of the minister, and he has been expelled from the Zhu family for many years, and the minister has no contact with him for a long time." Did he do something rebellious and collide with the emperor? ”

Qiu Yexian smiled, not letting him see the slightest thought of himself: "I have always loved talents, I heard that he has a lot of talent, and I don't know what the depth is, so I asked you to ask." ”

"Talent?" Zhu Wu's face showed disdain, "He likes to learn what kind of witch doctor voodoo, and he is not good at other witchcraft, so he is not a great wizard." ”

The word "voodoo" touched the sensitive nerve of the autumn night string.

He remained silent, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Isn't it good to be proficient in witch doctor voodoo?" ”

"It's not bad, it's just not very useful." Zhu Wu also doesn't play word games, and has something to say, "No matter how you study, witch doctors and voodoo are not as powerful as medical skills, and the scope of usefulness is limited, so the real great wizards don't learn this." Zhu Ming was originally a genius, and his family had very high expectations for him, but he was determined to study witch doctors and voodoo, and he also ran around to communicate with his foreign counterparts, which made the Zhu family very disappointed, and the Zhu family drove him out. ”

Originally, it was not a big deal that Zhu Ming liked to study witch doctors and voodoo, but he preferred to communicate with his peers, and even did not hesitate to exchange the Zhu family's witchcraft for the results of the other party, which was a taboo for the Zhu family.

If the Zhu family doesn't kick him out, I'm afraid that there will be no secrets and advantages to speak of.

To this day, when he mentioned Zhu Ming, he was still extremely dissatisfied.

Qiu Yexian remained silent: "Is his witch doctor and voodoo very strong?" ”

Zhu Wu thought for a while: "It should be quite strong, but, according to the minister, it still can't be compared with the imperial doctor in the palace." ”

Whether it is a witch doctor or voodoo, although there is a word "witch", the essence is still the category of medical skills, and it is not real witchcraft at all.

The Zhu family disagrees with Zhu Ming's choice and talent.

Qiu Yexian said: "Is there still a connection between Zhu Ming and the Zhu family?" Where is he now? What are you doing? ”

Zhu Wu said: "The Zhu family has no contact with him for a long time, but he may still have secret contact with a small group of people in the Zhu family, and the minister is not clear about this." As for his current situation, the minister heard that he seems to have opened a restaurant by himself to make a living, but as for what restaurant he opened, where he opened it, and what the business was, the minister didn't know. ”

After Qiu Yexian was silent for a while, he smiled: "I am quite interested in Zhu Ming, I want to meet him, if he returns to Zhu's house, or there is news of him, you must bring him to see me." ”

If the Zhu family can catch Zhu Ming and send him to the palace, it will be the best.

Even if the Zhu family didn't catch it, he could be regarded as having said hello to the Zhu family, and when Zhu Ming secretly returned to the Zhu family or contacted the people of the Zhu family, his secret agent would be able to come forward to catch Zhu Ming.

Zhu Wu said respectfully: "The minister obeys the order." ”

He said this on his lips, but he beat a drum in his heart: Why is the emperor so interested in Zhu Ming? Could it be that you want to appoint Zhu Ming?

He won't give Zhu Ming this kind of opportunity!

There was one thing he didn't feel necessary to sue the emperor.

In fact, Zhu Ming's magic power is on par with him, and he was originally studying the art of looking, stargazing, and fortune-finding, and was once a strong competitor to the head of the family.

Later, after Zhu Ming changed to witch doctor and voodoo, he was despised by the Zhu family, and he got the position, and Zhu Ming was angry about it.

In other words, he and Zhu Ming are actually mortal enemies, how can they help Zhu Ming gain holy favor?

These internal information are all things that the Zhu family will never reveal to the outside world, and no matter how many eyes and ears there are, they will not investigate such old things inside the Zhu family, so naturally they don't know such a thing.
