Being an apprentice is inevitably the life of running errands.

There is no free lunch in the world, and after learning the master's martial arts, it is natural to do things for the master.

Fortunately, today Kong Yunjie received a good errand, he wanted to buy several women from a trafficker and bring these women back to practice with his master. His master had already cultivated to a bottleneck, and once he broke through the bottleneck, he would be able to rise to the top and become a Tenfold Heavenly Martial Artist, ranking among the first-class masters.

Ye Zhiqiu became a master of the Ten Heavens, which was also of great benefit to him as an apprentice, and he was also happy to see his master promoted.

The night is as cold as water, the cold wind gusts, in the northern part of the southern province, there is no longer the heat of the southern zone, but there is a trace of northern cold.

Kong Yunjie stood with his hands in his hands, standing in the wilderness, surrounded by no one and alone. He wore this robe, with two inconspicuous swords hanging from his waist, a hat on his head, and a mask on his face, and no one could see through his identity. What he has to do today is to buy a living person, naturally he can't let outsiders find out his identity, even if he has to keep it mysterious to the seller, once the news leaks, then he will be discredited.

At the feet of Kong Yunjie, there is a very small and inconspicuous temple, which is enshrined in a demon named Wutong God, this kind of demon ghost likes adulterous wives and daughters the most, so it is also called "Five Rampant Gods".

Demons who often do this kind of thing will naturally not be treated well by the people, and few people will build temples for them.

The reason why some people build the temple of Wutong God here is actually for purpose. This small temple is actually a specific trading place. Only here can you buy a woman from a mysterious seller. In this world. Very few people know about it. Only some people in the underworld understand this.

Although he has made many transactions and dealt with many times, Kong Yunjie still doesn't know the exact identity of the other party, and similarly, the other party doesn't know who he is. One of the two parties is a mysterious seller, and the other is a mysterious buyer, and they only have transactions with each other and no other dealings. It's quite tacit.

Kong Yunjie's master and apprentice have a great demand for women because of their cultivation of evil skills, and whenever the supply exceeds demand, they will find ways to buy women from the underworld. What the two of them did was not tolerated by heaven, and they were the so-called thieves with weak hearts, so they naturally did not dare to blatantly make this kind of transaction, so they were very careful every time.

Over the years, they have basically only used this method to buy women, because this mysterious seller is reliable and does not leak. And every time I can make enough women as promised. For a transaction like this, it's better to find a safe seller. If you just look for other sellers, you will likely get into unnecessary trouble.

While thinking about it, Kong Yunjie's left ear moved, and he heard a special movement.

In the distance, there was a sound of horses' hooves and wheels pressing the earth, and the sound became clearer and clearer from far to near.

In the middle of the night, in the wilderness, there is no possibility of idle people waiting here, and the person who comes must be the mysterious human trafficker.

Kong Yunjie immediately cheered up, touched the money bag that had been prepared early in the morning, and followed the prestige to the source of the sound. The image of a carriage zoomed in on him, and he ran all the way to his approach.

There was only one person driving the car, and on his face, he wore a red-faced mask with angry eyes and fangs, which looked hideous and weird.

The two looked at each other, each recognizing the other's identity. Although the two sides have never met each other in real terms, they have dealt with each other a lot, and they will always leave a little impression, even if they only look at their eyes, they can recognize each other.

Kong Yunjie's eyes always reveal a young man's arrogance, and the eyes of the mysterious traffickers always reveal a sneaky evil spirit.

"Did anyone bring it?" Kong Yunjie asked in a voice. The night was still silent, but his words reached the ears of the mysterious human trafficker word by word.

"Brought, a total of seven people, a lot of one." The mysterious human trafficker replied, leaping out of the carriage as he spoke.

"Well done, I only asked for five people, but you caught seven people."

"Originally, there were only five people arrested, and two women found themselves unlucky and ran right under my nose, so I caught them all."

"Seven people is still not enough, it is estimated that in a few days, I will ask you to buy someone again."

"You've been asking for too many people lately, and I've arrested too many people, and I've already alarmed the Eagle Claw Sun of the Jinyi Guard, and they're investigating this matter. Now the limelight is too tight, I can't continue to arrest people, I guess I have to take a break. ”

"What if I double the money?" Kong Yunjieli lured.

The price of buying and selling human beings is not low, not to mention that the buyers and sellers are some yellow flower girls, so the price is even higher. This price is already attractive enough, and after doubling it at this time, it is even more eye-catching. The mysterious trafficker's eyes changed, and he hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't resist the lure of money, nodded and said, "Okay." I'll try to figure it out again, but the next time I trade, I'll have to go somewhere else just to be on the safe side. ”

"Okay, you can find a way to continue messing with people first. When the time comes, I'll get back in touch with you. Kong Yunjie nodded at the carriage of the carriage, "The carriage is opened, and I will inspect the goods to see if there are any girls with good looks." Last time there was a girl who was good-looking, and I was very satisfied. ”

"Don't worry. They are all smart girls, and they are all tender. The mysterious trafficker chuckled, walked around to the side of the car, and opened the door.

Kong Yunjie paced close to the carriage and looked towards the carriage, only to see that in the dark carriage, there were seven girls lying horizontally and vertically, all of whom seemed to be no more than twenty years old, which met the requirements. His eyes were good enough to see in the darkness of the night, and he could see the faces of the seven girls clearly. I have to say that these seven girls are all average-looking, which somewhat disappointed him.

However, these girls are mainly used for practice, not for enjoyment, and it doesn't matter if they are ugly.

"It's okay." Kong Yunjie nodded, took off a money bag that had been prepared a long time ago, and threw it to the mysterious trafficker, and then took out two silver tickets from another money bag, which were also thrown to the mysterious trafficker. If the other party brings two more people, he will naturally have to pay two cents more.

I counted the money I earned. There was a palpable hint of joy in the eyes of the mysterious trafficker.

The deal is complete. One party gets the person it wants. One party gets the money it wants.

The two sides didn't have many meaningless conversations, and after the deal ended, they parted ways, each going in a different direction.

After the two left, the wilderness returned to silence, and under the moonlight, the hideous grimace of the statue of the Wutong God in the temple could be faintly seen.

……

The night is still the night.

It's just the people and the places that have changed.

With a clear purpose, Zhao Zheng came all the way to this cemetery near Bailong County. There are graves all around, one next to the other, and as far as the eye can see, it occupies a large area. Fortunately, in ancient times, the population was small, and it didn't matter how big the cemetery was, there was still a lot of arable land to use.

On the surface, these cemeteries all look similar, but they are just one earthen steamed bun after another, and at most a few cemeteries are more generously repaired and built with stones. And there are stone tombstones. But in reality, there is something else in these cemeteries. There is a secret passage that leads to the secret room.

This secret room was built by a trafficker nicknamed "Little Five Links" and was specially used to hold the captured women.

Wutong God is a representative of obscene evil gods and demons, and the nickname of Xiao Wutong refers to the natural thief who picks flowers and obscenities.

As far as Zhao Zheng knew, a large part of the women used by Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice were purchased from Xiao Wutong. The secret room hidden under this cemetery is Xiao Wutong's stronghold, and the sources of the women under his hands are basically taken from this area.

Princess Zhaoli's disappearance is likely to be related to Xiao Wutong.

Although there is no conclusive evidence, this is definitely a possibility that cannot be let go.

If Zhao Zheng bets correctly this time, he will be able to rescue Princess Zhaoli at once, and follow the vine to eliminate Ye Zhiqiu's master and apprentice.

The tombs leading to the chamber are special and inconspicuous on the surface, but the tombstones that stand are inscribed with the names of specific people. Zhao Zheng knew the name of this person, and after some searching, he successfully found this tomb.

With his eyes wide, he searched carefully around the graveyard and soon fixed his eyes on a special piece of land.

There is clearly a square mark on the land, which was left when the secret door opened and closed.

Zhao Zheng took a deep breath, grabbed his hand, and exhaled a powerful suction force in his palm, pulling the secret disciple away.

The secret door creaked open completely, revealing a passage that led below, dark and deep below, and there was no light in sight.

This secret door is made of metal, and the switch will inevitably make a sound, even if you want to cover it up, you can't cover it up, so Zhao Zheng didn't sneak around, but swaggered open.

Zhao Zhenggong's facial features, magnifying the perception of all aspects to the limit, stepped on the metal ladder leading to the bottom, and walked down step by step. He wasn't worried about being attacked from below, because if someone approached, he would know in advance. At that point, it is not certain who will attack whom.

The ladder was very long, and he walked a long time before he reached the bottom. During this period, he never encountered any attacks, and it can be said that he was safe.

At the bottom, he probed his surroundings with his excellent hearing. He heard the breathing of one person, but only this one, not any more. This means that there is only one person present at the bottom now.

A wave of disappointment suddenly spread through his heart, like a wild weed.

Princess Zhaoli and her maid Xiaoyun disappeared together, and if they were really caught here, there should be more than one person here. But now, there is only one breathing sound here, indicating that the possibility of Princess Zhaoli being locked up here is extremely low.

But you can't just give up, you have to find out that person first. If that person is Princess Zhaoli, of course, it is good, if it is not Princess Zhaoli, but Xiao Wutong himself, or his subordinates, he can also scratch his tongue and ask for a confession.

Zhao Zheng had a plan, stood firm, and began to look around.

Underneath the ladder was a passageway, thirty feet long, with a wall at the end and many doors on either side.

The passage may seem simple, but in fact it hides a deadly threat. If you look closely, you can see that there is a clear pattern to the footprints along the way, and you never step on a few fixed places. The only breathing sound below came from the middle of the passage near the door, and it was slightly rapid.

This rapid breathing. The tension of breathing is revealed. Either the person is already panicking. Or are excitedly waiting for the moment of pounce. In contrast, it is clear that the latter is more likely.

An overwhelming force was quietly brewing in Zhao Zheng's body, and the internal force was whistling and shuttling among the dantian and flesh and blood, making the skin faintly hot. When the power brewed to a peak, he struck.

"Bump!"

With a crisp sound, Zhao Zheng flew through the passage with his whole body, not stepping on any position at all, and directly ignoring all the hidden traps. When he landed again. He landed in front of the door where the sound of breathing was coming from, and he grabbed his palm on the doorknob.

"Smack!"

There was another crisp sound, this time the sound came from the broken iron door, under Zhao Zheng's grasp, the iron door was simply unbearable, and it was shattered into hundreds of pieces of different sizes, like confetti, and fell to the ground.

"Ah!!h

A strange scream came from inside the room, a hoarse voice mixed with anger. Judging by the special tone of this voice. It was sent by a deaf and mute man.

Hearing this voice, Zhao Zheng suddenly understood in his heart: "It seems that it is not Princess Zhaoli in this house." It's not Xiao Wutong, it's Xiao Wutong's subordinate 'old dumb'. ”

Xiao Wutong's actions are not something that can be done by himself, someone has to take care of the arrested woman for him, and this person is a person called "old mute". This person is old and dumb, so he has this nickname, he is a man who works for the tiger, when he was young, he was also a flower picker * thief like Xiao Wutong, and he was useless in old age, so he was embarrassed with Xiao Wutong and hooked up with the chain.

For this kind of person, naturally there is no need to show mercy to his subordinates, and after he is caught, he can still be of great use.

Turning this thought, Zhao Zheng's palm exerted a second force, and spit out a fierce shock wave from his palm, shaking the shattered iron door and the old mute hiding behind the door together.

The old mute must have heard the movement before, so he hid here, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack, and ended up standing in such a dangerous place. If he had been standing in the house just now, he would have been able to suffer a little later. With his cultivation of the Sixth Heaven, it was difficult to stand such a strong palm.

Although Zhao Zheng's palm does not have many mysteries, and he himself has not learned any palm techniques, his strength is there, and under this kind of strength, every move can become a strong martial art!

"Ah!!h

The old mute screamed and slammed into the wall at the end of the room, and then opened his mouth and vomited a large mouthful of blood, apparently suffering severe internal injuries.

It was really an easy thing for the Eightfold Heavenly Martial Artists to deal with the Sixfold Heavenly Martial Artists, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were crushed.

Zhao Zheng walked forward step by step with a momentum like Mount Tai, and asked, "Little Wutong. Where is Tian Yu? ”

"Ahh What answered Zhao Zheng was a series of meaningless strange voices from the old mute. He had obviously identified the huge gap in strength between the two sides, and did not rush to pounce on it to fight back, but leaned against the wall to watch the changes, his eyes full of resentment and cunning.

"I know you can't speak, but you have hands and can write to answer my questions. I will continue to ask you all kinds of questions, if you answer honestly, you can do it, if you don't answer honestly, don't blame me for being sinister. Zhao Zheng threatened lightly.

"Ahh The old mute continued to scream, and he didn't know if he understood Zhao Zheng's words.

"Where is Xiao Wutong now?"

"Ahh

Zhao Zheng's gaze froze slightly, becoming even colder. The other party obviously didn't want to answer his question, so in this case, he had to use a little thunderous means. He pulled out Zichu's sword and pointed the tip of the sword at the old mute's nose, giving the other party one last chance.

The old mute's face changed drastically, but he didn't cherish this opportunity. If he is willing to answer Zhao Zheng's question, he can write on the wall with a little blood stain on the side of his mouth.

A flash of cold light.

The old mute's index finger was missing a piece and fell to the ground, revealing the white bones of the forest, from which blood flowed. He screamed miserably, and quickly clicked on a few acupoints to stop the bleeding.

Zhao Zheng had a calm face, like a fierce god enshrined in the temple, and continued to ask the question just now. The old mute is a hard bone, or a thief's bone, and he refuses to give in when he sees blood. Zhao Zheng was not used to the old mute, his sword fell, and under a few flashes, the old mute's fingers were cut off one after another, as if harvesting wheat.

It didn't take long for the old mute's left hand to become a bare mass of flesh that looked bloody.

In the face of the wicked, Zhao Zheng has already incarnated into an even more vicious existence.

The old mute finally gave in, and could no longer stand the severe pain and psychological double torture, and wrote the whereabouts of Xiao Wutong. He doesn't need pen and ink, his blood is pen and ink.

Through the old mute's writing, Zhao Zheng finally figured out the whereabouts of Xiao Wutong, and learned that Xiao Wutong went to make a deal with others and brought as many as seven women to the buyer.

"I don't know if there is Princess Zhaoli among these seven women, if she is included, things will be in trouble." Zhao Zheng's heart suddenly hung in the air.

Zhao Zheng then asked other questions, such as the physical appearance of the seven women, as well as the trading location of Xiao Wutong, when Xiao Wutong will return, and so on. The old mute was completely convinced, and answered them one by one, explaining quite clearly. Based on the text description alone, Zhao Zheng couldn't determine whether there was Princess Zhaoli among the seven women, and in the final analysis, he had to find Xiao Wutong first.

According to the usual practice, after Xiao Wutong finishes the transaction, he will not come back in a short time, and he will only be sent here if he catches a new woman.

Now if you want to find Xiao Wutong, you have to go to the trading place, and there is no other way.

Zhao Zheng got the answer he wanted, his hand fell to the ground, and the old mute fainted, and then left the secret room step by step.

The old mute fainted, his arms flat on the ground, several wounds still gurgling and bleeding.

Will this blood atone for his previous sins?

No, of course not, there is a more just and harsh trial waiting for him. (To be continued......)
