After that, Zhao Zheng would take one or two chances to enter the dark cave every day and look for treasure chests inside. The first time he entered the dark labyrinth, he stumbled upon the treasure chest, but when he entered it again, he couldn't find even the shadow of the treasure chest.

Every time Zhao Zheng entered the dark labyrinth, the teleportation location was different, and the path he walked was different every time, it seemed that the area of this dark labyrinth was really terrifying, it was simply a huge and incomparably large labyrinth. Zhao Zheng originally planned to memorize the route in the dark cave, but after entering it a few times, he dispelled this unrealistic idea, because it was too complicated to memorize it at all, and even if it was memorized, it would be difficult to put it together.

This morning, Zhao Zheng came to the door of the inn as usual, took a big broom to clean the road in front of the door, and swept the sand and fallen leaves aside. Just as he was sweeping the floor, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the sand and dust emerging at the end of the road, and he thought that a passer-by was passing by on horseback, so he stopped the broom in his hand and stopped to watch.

In the direction of the south, the sand and dust were gradually approaching, and the grass on both sides of the road was blown by the strong wind, shaking and rustling. When the sand and dust approached to a certain extent, Zhao Zheng's eyes narrowed and he saw a figure hidden in the sand.

The figure was running, faster than a galloping horse, and its footsteps were as dense as a drum, and the sound was non-stop. Seeing this scene, Zhao Zheng was surprised, only masters above the fourth heaven can have this speed, I am afraid that even Shen Luoxia, who is good at light skills, will be a star and a half behind.

The speed of the figure was extremely fast, and in a few breaths it had already rushed closer, and when he approached the inn, he slowed down slightly, and the smoke and dust brought up by those footsteps also faded.

Zhao Zheng looked at the splashed sand and dust, and said secretly in his heart: "Although this person's light skills are high, he is not a peerless master, and the real peerless master will never be so embarrassed when he is running, and he will get dust and sand everywhere." Light skills are cultivated to the extreme, and it is completely possible to fly the eaves and walk on the wall, and tread the snow without a trace. ”

The man came out of the dust, looking dusty, dressed in a black robe, and wearing a hat made of bamboo strips and brown silk, and a black veil hung down the outer edge of the hat, completely covering his face. I don't know if this black yarn is used to block the wind, sand and dust, or to hide my identity. The man in black stopped in front of the inn, raised his eyes and glanced at the door plaque, and then at Zhao Zheng who was standing in place, and strode towards the door, it seemed that he wanted to stay in a hotel or eat.

Zhao Zheng has been a shopkeeper for so long, and he sees passers-by every day, and he has cultivated a certain eyesight, he looked at the man in black, and faintly felt that the other party was a little suspicious, like a martial artist on the road.

"Are you the shopkeeper of this inn?" After the man in black approached, he asked lightly. From the veil used to cover his face, two intimidating gazes faintly appeared.

"That's right, I'm the shopkeeper, guest officer, please come in." Zhao Zheng held the broom in one hand and spread his finger to the inn, "I don't know if you want to be sharpened or stay in the hotel, guest officer?" ”

"I'm going to be tired and tired, and I'm going to rest for a day in the precious land and leave early tomorrow morning. You open me a clean room, prepare a breakfast, and boil me a basin of bath water. The man in black said and took out a small piece of silver from his arms, and threw it to Zhao Zheng casually, but his hand was very generous, "This is your reward." ”

Zhao Zheng, the shopkeeper, was just helpless, he himself was not a flatterer, and after receiving the reward, he didn't show how happy he was, but just curled the corners of his mouth lightly, and led the man in black into the inn.

Zhao Zheng opened his mouth to ask the man in black what he wanted to eat in the morning, but the man in black didn't seem to care about this matter, and ordered him to make his own arrangements, even though he had good wine and good food, he didn't need to ask in detail. Zhao Zheng knew that this was not a bad customer, so he didn't ask anymore, and was going to order a good table of good dishes to slaughter this person later, so as to create more benefits for the inn.

"A distinguished guest in a hurry, open a 'Yu' room, stay overnight for a day, and leave tomorrow morning!" Zhao Zheng shouted after entering the inn, then walked to the counter and took a key from the smiling ghost who was planning to make a plate. He held the key, turned back to the man in black and smiled, "This guest officer comes with me, your room is here." "This inn uses "Thousand Character Text" to sort the rooms, this "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, the Universe is Desolate" is the first eight rooms, and the furnishings of the rooms are the best in the inn, all of which are upper rooms.

The man in black nodded silently and followed behind Zhao Zheng.

At this moment, Shen Luoxia, the shopkeeper, walked out of her boudoir, she gently stroked her hair in the style of a double spirit snake temple, her eyes swept around the downstairs casually, and immediately noticed the mysterious black-clothed guest. She raised her willow eyebrows, the man in black walked with a tiger's step, awe-inspiring momentum, and the foothold was sonorous and powerful, obviously a practitioner.

This inn is a black shop, specializing in picking out the evil people or good sè people who are alone, Shen Luoxia took a fancy to the man in black at a glance and started the idea of the man in black.

"Xiao Zhao, the bed in the 'Yu' room is broken, you might as well bring this distinguished guest to the 'Tian' room." Shen Luoxia held on to the vermilion lacquered railing and commanded Yanran below.

Zhao Zheng was downstairs and didn't look up, and when he heard the voice, he knew that the shopkeeper had come out. He raised his head, glanced at the slender figure of the shopkeeper, and answered. He felt very strange, he had just cleaned the "Yu" room yesterday, and the bed inside was obviously good, but the shopkeeper said that the bed was broken, and there must be something strange about it. He thought about it for a moment, and suddenly came to his senses: "Even I can see that this man in black is weird, not to mention the shopkeeper, it is estimated that the shopkeeper wants to attack him, so he arranged this man in black to the 'Tian' number room." The 'day' house is next to the shopkeeper's boudoir, and it is obviously more convenient if you want to do it. ”

These things are not Zhao Zheng's responsibility for the time being, he pressed all kinds of speculations, changed the key from Wang Second-hand, and led the way for the man in black with a smile.

The man in black was also looking up at Shen Luoxia, he heard Zhao Zheng's words, withdrew his gaze, and followed Zhao Zheng away.

When he arrived upstairs, Zhao Zheng was in front and the man in black was behind, and he met Shen Luoxia with a smile.

"This guest officer, I am Shen Luoxia, the shopkeeper of this inn, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, I hope to bear with me for the sake of the little woman who is not easy to open a store." Shen Luoxia smiled, her smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, and everything around her lost her face in an instant, and it seemed that only her smile was left in this world.

"The shopkeeper is polite, your inn is simply decorated and the place is clean, I am very satisfied." The man in black said lightly.

"All over the world are brothers, everyone is a family, I don't know where the brothers are named, where they come from, and where are they going?"

"Don't have your surname Wang, a single name. I'm from Cangshui Province and plan to visit relatives and friends in Bai Mang. The man in black replied.

In the world of "Horse Riding Rivers and Lakes", the largest country is called the Great Yan Country, which covers an extremely wide area and dominates between heaven and earth.

The administrative regions of the Great Yan Kingdom are divided into five levels, which are provinces, prefectures, counties, townships, and villages.

The location of the Red Dust Inn is Aoki Mansion, and you can reach the vast and cold Baimanfu Mansion from Zhongguan in the north, and if you go south along the official road, you can reach Cangshui Mansion, the land of fish and rice. The three provinces of Aoki, Baimang, and Cangshui are planned under the jurisdiction of one of the four major provinces, "Beiqi Province".

The man in black named Wang Zhuo claimed to be from Cangshui Mansion, which was not close to here, a hundred miles away.

"The guest officer must be very tired when he comes from afar, so let's rest in my small shop." Shen Luoxia smiled as she spoke, leaned out her white palm, and grabbed the veil that Wang Zhuo used to cover her face, "There is no wind and sand in this room, so the guest officer doesn't need to wear this and this anymore." ”

Seeing this move, Wang Zhuo immediately stretched out his palm to block Shen Luoxia's hand, and took a step back, and said lightly: "I have sores on my face and ugly appearance, so I wear a veil all year round. The shopkeeper should not touch my veil. ”

"It turned out to be a sore, the guest officer is really lucky, my ancestors are all doctors, and there is a good prescription for all kinds of sores, you might as well let me show you your face, maybe I can cure it." Shen Luoxia flipped her wrist as she spoke, and her jade hand stretched out to Wang Zhuo's veil at another tricky angle. She only wanted to test the other party, and she didn't want to anger the other party, so she didn't use internal force in her hand, but just stretched it out as usual.

"I have been infected with this evil disease for many years, and I have visited countless famous doctors who have not been able to cure it, and I don't plan to waste any more time on treatment, and I understand the kindness of the shopkeeper." Wang Zhuo took another step back, dodging the jade hand, and his tone was a little heavier when he spoke.

"In that case, then I won't force it." Shen Luoxia withdrew her hand knowingly, she knew that the other party would not show her true face if she said anything, and if she tried it again, she was afraid that she would startle the snake, so it was better to stop it now. She turned her head to look at Zhao Zheng silently, "Xiao Zhao, don't be stunned, take this distinguished guest into the room to rest." ”

Zhao Zheng answered, led the man who claimed to be Wang Zhuo to the door of the Tianzi room, unscrewed the lock with the key, and brought Wang Zhuo in. After Zhao Zheng entered the house, he wiped the seat with a rag, asked Wang Zhuo to sit down, and then went out of the house, and when he came back, he already had a steaming teapot in his hand. He poured a cup of hot tea for Wang Zhuo, then put the teapot on the table and left.

After going in and out several times, Zhao Zheng was preparing breakfast and bath water, so Wang Zhuo was tidied up, wiped his sweat and left the Tianzi room.

After Wang Zhuo ate and drank enough, he closed the door, raised his hand and grabbed a handful in the bathtub, tested the water temperature, and then untied the hat and began to untie his clothes.

At this time, a landscape painting on the wall of the Tianzi room moved, and a small hole the size of a bean grain appeared in the mountain stone in the lower left corner, and the hole was surrounded by complex lines and brushwork, so it was extremely difficult to distinguish, and it was absolutely impossible to find at first glance. Behind this small hole, there was a keen gaze, and the owner of the gaze was none other than Shen Luoxia.

In order to find out the identity of the target, Shen Luoxia returned to her room, opened the dark grid behind the ancient painting, and secretly looked at the next room through the small hole. The reason why she deliberately asked Zhao Zheng to lead the man in black to this room was for this purpose.

In the hole, the man in black took off his hat and threw it on the bed, revealing his true face. He is about forty years old, his chin is full of stubble, and there are some pimples on his face, but there are no abscesses, so it can be seen that the words just now are just used to prevaricate Shen Luoxia, and it is estimated that even the name is fake. The man in black has a more prominent feature on his face, on his right cheek, there is a black sè mole, and a long hair grows on the mole.

Shen Luoxia's eyelids jumped, and she vaguely felt that this person was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was for a while.

The man in black took off left and right, quickly stripped naked, soaked in the wide bathtub, closed his eyes comfortably, and enjoyed quietly.

"His body is not very strong, but the job is quite long, and the butt * stock is not bad, quite round." Shen Luoxia commented on the character of the man in black in her heart, and slowly put down the ancient painting and blocked the small hole.

Shen Luoxia stood up and stood on her own, her beautiful eyes flowing, thinking back to where she had seen this face, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she thought of the identity of this person. She walked briskly to the cabinet, opened the drawer, and opened the bottom compartment, and took out a wad of yellow paper. These pieces of paper were painted with the heads of men, with their names and silver taels marked below, and they turned out to be a stack of bounty orders. Shen Luoxia rummaged through a pile of bounty orders for a while, and pulled out one of them.

I saw that the person on the bounty order also had a long-haired black mole on the right cheek, and between his eyebrows was the same as the man in black.

Underneath the portrait, it is written:

The second-class criminal Wang Jiu, nicknamed the poisonous bird in the mountains and lakes, offered a bounty of 7,000 taels.

After the investigation by the Yamen, this person poisoned and killed Li Yuanwai's family in Chiyang Mansion in March of the fifth year of Puqing, stole all the money and property of Li Yuanwai's family, and absconded since committing the crime. If there is important information, a reward of 500 taels of silver will be given, and if there is a person who can arrest him, a reward of 7,000 taels of silver. Rewards can be received at provincial, prefectural and county-level governments.
