Hu Cai knelt on the ground, pouted his ass and crawled under the bed, lifted the cement floor, and took out a black wooden box from it, after opening the wooden box, he climbed out with both hands and handed it to Tang Ming respectfully.

"My lord, this should be the bloody stone you are talking about, right?"

"Oh?" Tang Ming was slightly stunned.

The wooden box is two feet square, divided into two compartments, and in the left compartment is a transparent glass vessel, in which is soaked in a fresh white young man's face; There are more than 20 pieces of red jade in the right grid, the jade pieces are two inches square, the thickness is only five millimeters, the jade flesh is translucent, covered with bright red blood, like a vein, as time goes by, the box exudes a faint bloody gas.

The cheek should be the evil result left by the golden vest; Those jade tablets are the same as the inferior magic crystals depicted in the "Complete Book of Satan".

Tang Ming took the wooden box, stared at the faces of the people in the left grid, and then reached into the right grid, looking through the red jade pieces piece by piece.

After the jade piece was in his hands, he could feel a trace of fiery trembling, whether it was the shape, breath, or touch, it could be determined that this was the inferior magic crystal, the hard currency of the demon world, and the stone he urgently needed to raise.

Hu Cai caught Tang Ming's surprise, his eyes showed joy, and he raised his head and said, "My lord, it turns out that you are really here to collect the magic crystal." It's all to blame for the old slave's clumsy eyes, and he failed to see through the identity of the adult. Damn the old slave! ”

"Wait, someone else came to you to collect magic crystals before?" Tang Ming said vigilantly. The development of events was far beyond his expectations, and the old guy in front of him had long known about the existence of the devil, or rather, the old guy was originally a demon.

Hu Cai was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded: "Yes, my lord, three years ago, a black-clothed masked man found the old slave, he took away the soul of the old slave, and gave the old slave a task, which was to collect the magic crystal. The old slave didn't dare to slack off for a moment, just a few days ago, the old slave suddenly found that the lost soul was back, and thought that the adult was moved by compassion, it turned out that the adult was just ready to pass on the old slave to you to manage. ”

"Do you know what that adult's name is?" Tang Ming hurriedly asked.

"I don't know. The adult left after explaining the task, and he didn't come back in three years. Hu Cai shook his head and said.

Tang Ming pondered for a moment, and had some conjectures in his heart.

According to the "Complete Book of Satan", in addition to arranging a spokesperson in the world, the Satan Demon King also sent a large number of demons, some of which are used to hunt angel spokesmen, also known as hunter demons; The other part is used to collect magic crystals, magic treasures, and magic people, which are called treasure hunting demons. The Treasure Hunter Demon also has a purpose, to secretly escort Satan's spokesperson, and hand over the collected magic crystal demon soldiers to the spokesperson.

However, practice has proved that treasure hunting demons are not reliable, and are often captured or influenced by angels, turned against their own companions, and even hunted Satan's spokesmen, most of whom died directly at the hands of these demons. Later, the Satan Demon King had to hide the identity of the spokesperson, only giving the treasure hunting demons the task of collecting treasure and collecting people, and then secretly let the spokesperson capture these treasure hunting demons through the demon envoy, collect the treasures and personnel in their hands, and turn them into legal property, so that they can enter the demon world smoothly through the space-time portal, so as to achieve the purpose of quickly recruiting troops.

The way the Treasure Hunter Demon recruits troops is different from the spokesperson, the Treasure Hunting Demon generally uses magic or intimidation to conquer his subordinates, this method is very unreliable, and if one is not good, he will rebel. And the spokesperson uses the Demon King's Order, and the soul is collected, and the subordinates who are collected by the soul are very unlikely to rebel, unless they want to die together and be wiped out.

According to the "Complete Book of Satan", only demons who have advanced to the seventh order of the upper rank have the ability to collect the souls of others in order to control others to serve themselves faithfully, but once these high-level demons die, the low-level demons who have received souls will also suffer, and their souls will collapse together. But Satan's spokesman does not do this, and when he dies, the soul he receives will automatically return to his original body.

Therefore, the man in black that Hu Cai met is very likely to be the late Satan's spokesman, that is, No. 998.

"Okay, I'll take these magic crystals. If you continue to search, you must collect 80 pieces for me by 12 o'clock tonight. ”

"Spare your life! Even if you give the old slave a hundred days, it will be difficult to receive 80 yuan. These magic crystals were collected by the old slave after spending most of his savings and spending three years. Hu Cai was shocked and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"So you can't do it?" Tang Ming sneered.

"It can't be done, it can't be done! However, there are two people who may be able to help the adults. Hu Cai said worriedly.

"Who?"

"One is the golden vest, the old slave knows that he is also looking for magic crystals, the old slave has collected a total of more than 300 pieces in the past three years, most of which were taken away by the golden vest. The old slave concluded that if he did not turn it in, he should have a lot in his hands. It's just that the golden vest is strong in skill and cruel in means, and the old slave knows that he is not his opponent, and he needs an adult to take action. ”

"And who's the other one?" Tang Ming frowned.

How to bring down the golden vest, he still hasn't thought of a good way, and he is not sure where this golden vest is sacred, and if he attacks rashly, he may be hunted by it. The Demon Envoy said that the identity of Satan's spokesman must not be revealed to anyone, and his enemies are not only angels and enemies, but also those who have not been domesticated, and even treasure hunting demons are unreliable. The magic mirror can only effectively deal with the little demon soldiers, and it can hold the big demon soldiers for 20 seconds within a range of one meter, and if it exceeds the big demon soldiers, it will not play any role. The golden vest holds at least 50 lives, and it is very likely that it is above the existence of the Great Demon Soldier.

Hu Cai continued: "The other one is called Lan Yu'er, the assistant to Dong Tianzhu, the general manager of Diyu Jewelry, and a master of jade identification. But this Lan Yu'er is also not easy to mess with, eccentric, unpredictable, as long as the old slave is close to her, she feels terrified. ”

Tang Ming bowed slightly, closed his eyes and muttered for a long time, then suddenly opened his eyes and said, "What is the origin of Sister-in-law Adu?" ”

"Sister-in-law Adu? Oh, she is a native of Dongdu, when the new area was not developed, her family built a small shack on the plot of the Emperor Building, and lived by picking wild vegetables, without children, without a husband or old age. This peasant woman is very weird, she can eat well in the ghost market, and there are eyeliner in the Imperial Mansion, whether it is the golden vest or Lan Yu'er, they are polite to her. ”

"Really? Then why does she still sell stinky tofu? ”

"Your Excellency, you don't know. Sister-in-law Adu is not selling stinky tofu, but information. She is clear about the situation of the entire ghost market, what goods are bought every day, what treasures are produced, and what kind of strangers come, as long as you pay money, you can know from her mouth, and she is not happy. Even the internal information of the Emperor Group is well known, and the people in the ghost market want to know the direction of the emperor's wind, so they come to her to inquire. ”

Tang Ming was silent for a moment, stood up, picked up the wooden box, and picked up the bag of 500,000 big red banknotes: "Okay, that's it, you go to Di Baojun and ask him to hand over 5 million first, and then go all out with him to search for the magic crystal." Before 11 o'clock in the evening, each person must hand over 20 magic crystals, one less, cut your soul for one hour, and a fine of 1 million; Ten yuan less, don't be a demon, go to the underworld to report. ”

…

Tang Ming walked out of the Daqianmen community, faced the thick fog, and came to the stinky tofu stall again. He sat down silently, and there was no one else at the table, only a few Taobao customers waiting to leave with the original tofu.

Sister-in-law Adu sent off the last guest, took a plate of stinky tofu, turned around and sat down opposite Tang Ming, and habitually pulled down the gray towel and dusted off her flower cotton jacket.

"Brother, I knew you would definitely come back to eat your sister-in-law's golden tofu."

"It's my clumsiness, and I've offended a lot before!" Tang Ming clenched his fists and carefully examined the peasant woman in front of him through his sunglasses.

"Look at what my brother said, where is the matter. It was my sister-in-law who took the money for the golden tofu, but she didn't do the golden tofu business. Brother, now that it's almost dawn, will it be a little late to come and listen to my sister-in-law chanting the Taobao Sutra? ”

"No, I want to hear you talk about the Emperor's Sutra." Tang Ming lifted a little scarf, stuffed a piece of stinky tofu, and said in a low voice.

Sister-in-law Adu was obviously stunned, put the gray towel on the table, and added a little condiment to the plate: "Brother, the emperor has been in turmoil recently, and this scripture is not easy to read." ”

Tang Ming smiled, took out a bundle of big red banknotes from his pocket, wrapped it in a gray towel, and pushed it in front of Sister-in-law Adu: "This is the money for a hundred plates of golden tofu, I want to eat it all at once." ”

Sister-in-law Adu pressed the towel: "Okay, brother wants to know something, just ask." ”

"Why did the emperor change?"

"Hehe, emperors are all over the world, the roots are rotten and the branches are withered, East Asia is like that branch and leaf, my sister-in-law is hiding under the branches and leaves, where do you know what is going on on the roots thousands of miles away?" Sister-in-law Adu pushed the towel back to Tang Ming.

"Then tell me, what will happen to the emperor next?" Tang Ming continued to ask.

"This ...... It's hard to say about the roots, and there are still a little veins on the leaves. My sister-in-law just heard that at 4 o'clock in the morning, the East Asian Emperor settled in a bald guest, and as soon as the bald guest arrived, the Emperor Mansion was noisy, and all the security guards stopped taking vacations, as if they were going to conduct a safety and fire inspection. ”

"Bald?" Tang Ming's right hand trembled slightly, and a gust of wind blew up the empty right index finger glove. Wasn't the killer who caught up with the eagle top and tortured him yesterday the bald man? Could it be that guy came back so soon to collect the body?

"Brother, in my opinion, the bald man is just a pawn, and I heard that there will be a professor in the back, who has a family lineage. The East Asian emperors now have no master of the six gods, and the teaching must be related to the ownership of the throne of the East Asian emperors. I don't know if what my sister-in-law said can solve my brother's questions? ”

Tang Ming was silent for a long time, then took out a bundle of red banknotes again, wrapped them in a gray towel, and pushed them in front of Sister-in-law Adu: "I want to see the golden vest today." ”

"Hehe, brother, the golden vest is golden and jade, and it is defeated, good and evil are eaten, men and women are not taboo, even if you wrap it tightly, he can also strip you and eat you. Listen to my sister-in-law's advice and deal less with this kind of person. Sister-in-law Adu's honest face suddenly had a little bit of fierceness, a little persuasion.

"Sister-in-law, add another three hundred plates, I must see him today." After Tang Ming finished speaking, there were three more red bills in the gray towel.

"Good!" Sister-in-law Adu grabbed the gray towel wrapped in five large bills and said, "Since my brother must see him, my sister-in-law will give you a way." It's up to your luck, though. Today is Christmas, and there will be a charity auction in the second hall of Diyu Jewelry, which was prepared by Dong Tianzhu. The Golden Vest is definitely among the invites, and to meet him, you must get a ticket to a charity auction. ”

"Oh? Where can I get tickets? Tang Ming's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.

"I didn't have to buy it. My sister-in-law said that it depends on your luck. If Lan Yu'er comes to visit the ghost market, and you happen to have a treasure that she can look at, and the value of the treasure is more than 200,000, then congratulations, you will definitely be able to see the golden vest. Ah! Sister-in-law is coming to business, you eat slowly. ”

Sister-in-law Adu said, grabbed the towel, and didn't see her take the money inside, so she wrapped it directly around her head, and then got up with a smile and stood in front of her stinky tofu stall again.
