In the afternoon, Wang Yu asked He Mengdong to teach Chai Xiaotang the basic skills of feeling, and he himself picked up a bunch of arrows and left the forest and went to Shencheng.

Chai Xiaotang told Wang Yu to go to Area B under Shencheng to find a blacksmith to sell, compared to the gong breaker, the blacksmith often paid two more copper plates for the arrows.

Walking through the outskirts of the city, Wang Yu found that in addition to the fragments of armor and flags, the corpse had been devoured overnight, and through the communication of ghosts, he learned that it was Hei Xuan.

He couldn't help but feel sick to the darkness that haunted the night.

The road was deserted, and it was difficult to see even the children who were scavenging.

The cyan city wall was unguarded, Wang Yu walked into the city gate, and the four entrances to the underground were presented in front of his eyes, and there were not many people coming and going, not like a city with a population of 500,000.

Wang Yu faintly smelled a little bit of blood in the air, looked around, and secretly wondered if the controller of the city had set up a magic circle.

The four entrances are written "A, B, C, D", except for the B entrance and sporadic people entering and exiting, the rest of the entrances are strictly controlled by people who look like soldiers, and people without number plates cannot enter the three underground cities of "A, C, D".

After a simple body search, Wang Yu walked into the cave-like mouth B, and his eyes suddenly darkened, which made people think of a mining cave.

The cool moisture penetrated into the skin, and every other foot hung an ore lamp covered with iron nets overhead, and the dim light illuminated a staircase that seemed to extend to another world.

Some people carry all kinds of sundries on their shoulders and go down cautiously, and some sedan chairmen carry bamboo sedan chairs, carrying people downward, they provide services to the rich in the underground world, and the sedan chair can also hang luggage, and a trip down can earn half a piece of money, but a large part of it has to be paid to the tooth shop.

A gray figure inserted in front of Wang Yu and said flatteringly: "This Lang Jun, seeing that you have a little money, don't take the long steps, it's a five-mile road! ”

The man pointed to a metal cage suspended from the shaft more than ten paces to the right, and some men with swords were waiting for the cage to open.

Inertia prevailed, coupled with some curiosity about new things, Wang Yu handed over the silver and entered the cage with some people, and as soon as his feet stepped into the cage, the creaking sound pierced his ears, which was unsettling.

Curiosity emboldened Wang Yu, he grabbed the grille of the cage with his hand, and looked into the depths of the shaft, the abyss seemed to have terrifying magic, and his stomach was a little upside down.

The cage was closed with a "bang", and a lock was added to make it a closed cage.

A man threw a copper plate into the abyss below, and the people in the cage listened to the soft sound of the copper plate colliding on the iron cage core and the stone wall of the well, as if it had been a hundred years, before they heard the distant splashing sound, and the copper plate finally touched the bottom.

Wisps of steam from the unfamiliar mechanism were spewed, and the thick iron cable pulled the guide rod with a sound that could only be found during a mossy execution, and the air was filled with a sultry greasy smell.

There was a "bang" in the air, Wang Yu suddenly took a few steps back, and left the grid of the cage, and the rest of the people all pressed their swords and laughed, knowing that this person was the first time.

The cage fell into the void and fell rapidly.

Since last year, Wang Yu's experience is not abundant, but the existing experience can't deal with the fear of the unknown, so he has to force himself not to shout.

Wang Yu shouldn't have stayed away from the fence, his feet were off the ground, and the other veterans were holding on to the cage grille to prevent himself from floating.

The speed slowed down a bit, and Wang Yu's foot hit the bottom of the cage, and he grabbed the grid to stop his body from shaking.

In the darkness, a blonde swordsman muttered to himself, "The brake gear meshes ......"

The speed of the cage became slower and slower, until it stopped, the door opened with a "sonorous sound", and Wang Yu twisted his weak shoulders and walked out of the cage.

The ground was very rotten, and with a "smack", Wang Yu stepped on the soft mud, but his eyes suddenly lit up.

Kerosene lamps, candles, Thai stone lamps, countless light sources show their powers, illuminating the moonless underground streets and alleys brightly or darkly.

"The B area controlled by Moshantang is too small, and the salt dealer surnamed Guo has a large territory and many opportunities. ”

"Be quiet, the surname Guo must have discovered something from the falling star, so his territory strictly controls the way out, and now there is tension on both sides!"

"Didn't the Ink Shirt Hall also control the landing point of a star fragment?"

"I heard that I didn't find any artifacts. ”

"Have you heard that a lot of people have gone missing recently? Many of them are highly skilled craftsmen!"

"What's my business?"

A group of people were looking at the map on the wall and chatting about various things, and Wang Yu squeezed through the crowd with a bunch of arrows, staring at the intricate map.

"Oh my God, it's like a cobweb. ”

But Wang Yu still found the direction where the craftsman area is located, about two miles away.

The shops and houses were carved out of underground passages, like caves on both sides of the road, and the gray walls were warmed and decayed by the goose-yellow lamps. Wang Yu came to the craftsman area, and the shops on both sides exuded the atmosphere of all kinds of handicraftsmen.

The sound of banging became clearer and clearer in his ears, and the sparks produced by forging utensils also flashed in front of him frequently, Wang Yu stopped in front of a shop and looked at the size of the signboard in front of the shop.

[Xu Ji Iron Shop], collect "old things", as well as, the inlay of weapon runes.

Wang Yu walked into the shop, and one by one Xiuteng dogs stood up alertly, and was about to shout at the guests who pushed the door in, but was stopped by another rough voice: "Call a ghost! Finally, the guests are here, barking all day long, and the Sprinkle family will be poor by your dog sooner or later, get out of the way." ”

A big man with a mouth full of sprinkling put down the hammer in his hand, touched the soap-colored straight jacket on his body, kicked the Xiuteng dog away, and then looked at Wang Yu with a courteous face.

"Get this bundle of arrows for some money, and besides, this ring-headed knife around my waist needs to be engraved with some runes. ”

The big man didn't look at the arrow in Wang Yu's hand, and glanced at the ring-headed knife on Wang Yu's waist, "Do you have enough money?"

Wang Yu put down the arrow and untied the cloth bag behind him.

"It was full of broken silver, and there were no copper plates. ”

"That's good. ”

The big man grabbed the arrow, skillfully unloaded the arrow cluster, and threw the shaft aside, and it didn't take long for him to get the most essential iron weapon.

"Guest, these clusters of arrows, fifteen copper plates, can not be more. ”

"There were several clusters of arrows inlaid with runes made of Thai stone and silver and vermilion. ”

The big man "tsk", and took out fifteen copper plates, and handed them over to Wang Yu, he hates the guest officer who knows the goods, and it seems that the production of runes can't fool people.

Wang Yu put the ring-headed knife he picked up yesterday on the anvil table, and the big man took out a few leather suitcases, sat on the side of the anvil, and brought a round gold-rimmed lens for his right eye.

Wang Yu had never seen this thing, so he couldn't help asking, "This is?"

"The guest officer is not a Jin person, right? This is called" single photo ", two years ago, after the separation of Laizhen, began to sell this kind of thing to the outside world, some single photos can make people with blurred vision see things clearly, and some single photos can help the rune craftsmen of the Sprinkle family to grasp the quality, I heard that recently Laizhen began to sell two lenses in one of the goods, it seems to be called 'Ai Xuan'. ”

Wang Yu found a bench and sat down, and said with emotion: "It's really insightful!"

"What kind of runes does the guest officer want to inscribe? It's too rare for the Sprinkler family to do it. ”

"The ordinary 'Tong Qi Lianzhi' is fine, this knife has just been scavenged, and I can't adapt to my Qi, and I don't bother to spend more than half a year getting familiar with this knife. ”

It's not that a weapon that is not engraved with 'Tong Qi Lianzhi' can't be infused into Zhou Shi's Qi, but it takes a special effort to do it, but it's too troublesome.

Wang Yu threw the entire small cloth bag at the big man's feet.

"In addition, I would like to order two more guns of different lengths. ”

An hour later, the Han disposed of Wang Yu's knife, and then he said, "In about five days, the guest officer will be able to come and get the custom-made spear." ”

In addition to the blacksmith shop, Wang Yu felt that the air underground was really breathless, so he wanted to quickly run to the lifting shaft and take the cage back to the ground.

Inadvertently, he saw some ghosts that had not yet dissipated in the lonely place.

There were no shops, a dark, tomb-like passage, and Wang Yu flashed into the alley, avoiding the crowd, and ran towards the tunnel.

When he was about to get close to Tong, Wang Yu stopped, and there was a gap between Tongtong and the ground under his feet, and if he didn't stop, he would fall into a trench.

The trenches and passages do not seem to be naturally formed, and they exude a regular atmosphere everywhere.

Wang Yu cautiously jumped into the trench, under which some long metal rails were laid, and he remembered that the port of Zhao had something similar, and horses pulled carts carrying goods on the tracks, which could improve efficiency.

After walking a few steps along the broken long track, Wang Yu found the ghosts that were wandering, one of which had just died yesterday, and the breath was still very strong, and Wang Yu seemed to have seen it.

He recalled it carefully, wasn't this the old man who played tricks on the scavenging children in the countryside yesterday?

Wang Yu dispersed Qi and began to use his ability to interrogate the ghosts, as soon as his Qi touched the ghosts, the ghosts were stimulated, and they felt that they were under a strong control.

"Do you know what's wrong with this underground city? Tell me, if I find your body in Shen City, I'll let you be buried in peace. ”

But the ghosts chattered and answered the questions that were not asked, so Wang Yu had to increase the intensity of Qi again, telling them that if they didn't answer well, they would disappear in advance.

After Wang Yu executed a few ghosts, he made them realize that he had no time to understand how miserable they were in the past, who their enemies were, and how he could help them come back to life.

Even so, Wang Yu still took a lot of effort to extract some valuable information from the trivial things said by the ghosts.

Almost all of these ghosts died in blood sacrifices for unknown purposes;

Two ghosts believed that Guo Tian's men had kidnapped them and bloodstained them;

After learning these two points, Wang Yu turned around and left, and the voice of the old man from yesterday came from behind him.

"Young man, if you find my body, can you burn it to ashes and bring it back to my house! Ah, by the way, I still remember, I vaguely remember that the person who killed me seemed to be muttering something like 'Disciple of the Holy Ring, Destiny is Manifested.'" ”

Wang Yu turned around abruptly and dispersed Qi, confirming that the old man's ghost was not talking nonsense.

'Disciples of the Holy Ring, the Mandate of Heaven is revealed', isn't this the doctrine of the Heavenly Ring Sect?

That's an interesting piece of information.

Wang Yu looked at this ghost who had died in a foreign land, sighed, and asked, "What is your name?"

"Dou Shen, his hometown is Gaotai County in Xu State. ”

Wang Yu nodded to the ghost who had died in a foreign land, and left the place quickly, returning to the lifting shaft, and returning to the ground through the cage.

Walking out of the second gate, re-exposed to the fresh sunshine and air again, Wang Yu couldn't help but feel happy, but not long after being happy, his heart tightened again.

A group of warriors dressed in black shirts and holding swords in their hands are confronting the soldiers at the entrances of the three underground areas of A, C, and D.

Needless to say, one side is the Ink Shirt Hall, and the other side is the salt lord Guo Tian's people.

Both sides have Zhou divisions, and once the battle begins, it will definitely be a big battle with wide impact.

In the array of the Ink Shirt Hall, more than a dozen Zhou divisions began to bury formation pillars in four directions.

The forces of the salt owls are not only numerous, but also the gates of the three exits of Jiabingding surround the Yimen, but Wang Yu found that there are slightly more Zhou divisions in the Moshan Hall through his senses.

Wang Yu had seen gang fights in Tianxi, and the two factions usually had to spit fragrant mouths and greet each other's female relatives before they started fighting, and they had to make all kinds of bizarre body movements with their voices in their voices, and then they started fighting with the charge of a leading man.

However, the confrontation between these two factions in Shen Cheng was silent, even deadly, and the afternoon sun became cold because of this silent confrontation.

A series of "crunching" sounds came from the first gate, breaking the silent air, and a group of soldiers uniformly dressed in brown cloth came to the ground with their cannons, displayed the muzzles, and aimed them at the people of the Ink Shirt Hall.

The middle-aged man commanding the brown soldiers immediately attracted Wang Yu's attention.

The man's golden hair resembled an impassioned ear of wheat, and although there were burn marks near his right eye, and a single photograph was attached, his blue pupils could be seen through the inorganic lenses, while his bare left eye was like electricity.

His face was wrinkled, only scarred, and his beard was cocked like a knife's edge.

At a glance, Wang Yu could see that this person should be Chai Xiaotang's father by blood.

The hall master of the Ink Shirt Hall whispered to the left and right, "He is Xue Manliang?"

The left and right guards all nodded yes.

Xue Manliang waved his half-sword and command the soldiers, and the five bronze hair cannons and three bamboo iron cannons were ready in a few breaths, ready to bombard the Ink Shirt Hall.

"The Moshan Hall is such a big shelf, I didn't pick up anything good, so I want to ask the teacher to ask for the guilt? Hall Master Zhou, don't lose your face again!"

Xue Manliang's words are very authentic, and with artillery support, it is even more powerful.

Zhou Shiyang, the hall master of the Ink Shirt Hall, looked at the Zhou master under his command, snorted, and said kindly: "My people have a lot of missing whereabouts recently, what kind of evil sacrifice are you doing? You foreigner is just a dog, what about Guo Tian? Let him come out and speak!"

Before Zhou Shiyang's words fell, Xue Manliang waved the order flag, and the three bamboo iron cannons suddenly opened fire, and in the sound of explosion, the three iron balls flew straight towards the formation of the Moshan Hall.

In the Ink Shirt Hall Array, Qi Liu followed the pillar of the formation and launched the magic array.

The dust poured up, and three walls of earth rose in an instant, stopping the incoming cannonballs like arms.
