Chapter 80: Staring
————————
The underground labyrinth, twists and turns, nine bends and eighteen bends, and when everyone went out of the crossing, they saw the desolate and dark interior of the ruined city, which was basically full of meat and eight vegetables, and it was impossible to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.
When they came to their senses, the guides were gone.
"Gone?"
"Let's go, let's go, let's go."
After the people dispersed, only Ming Jin and his group remained.
"Do you remember?"
"No, Fourth Girl, what about you?"
"No, I almost forgot what my name was."
Ming Dai's mind has been tense, but this time entering the city gave her a very bad feeling, as if....
"It's like being led along."
"The appearance of eccentricity and fear first leads to the atmosphere. Then he killed people halfway, in order to exaggerate the atmosphere and cause people to be frightened. The dungeon detour can confuse our minds when we are panicked, all so that we cannot remember the correct way to enter the city. ”
Everyone was stunned, and Ming Dai couldn't help asking: "You are so calm, have you ever remembered?" ”
"No, I'm distracted too."
Ming Jin didn't say that she was because Ming Dai and Peony were by her side, and she had to make sure they were safe, so remembering the way into the city was a secondary matter.
"It's already in anyway, as long as we remember this entrance to get out...."
Ming Dai was trying to remember this just now.
"When you come in, it's the exit, and when you go out, it's just the entrance. And what about the outside exit? There are two mouths in a cage, if there is only in and not out, you can't tell the route of the labyrinth below, and you are looking for death if you rush in. ”
"If we're going out then, we can hold one of their people hostage." Tengu was already thinking of a way out, after all, Ming Jin was here, and he had to send her out.
But Ming Jin shook his head, "The one who pulled the slate in the grass before, it seems that he is not very familiar with the location of the slate, so it took me some exploration to find it, and I can't just pull one of them." ”
"Don't think about this for now, don't delay, let's go."
After Ming Jin finished speaking, he grabbed Ming Dai's wrist and pulled the person away.

The once popular town now seems to smell of old corpses everywhere in the dark night, and everyone walks along the east light that can be seen by the music in the dark night, and soon sees many brightly lit streets, vertical and horizontal, crowded with people, inns, teahouses, taverns and shops.
It's like a ghostly fire in the ruins of death, lively, prosperous, and people come and go.
Is this a feast for the living, or a resurrection of the dead?
"This is today's Linzhou City, it is not appropriate to stay outside for a long time, master, we have to set a foothold now."
For the tengu, Ming Jin's safety is the first, looking for Xie Li is the second, Linzhou City is an extremely dangerous place, even if they have a lot of people and strength, they don't dare to take risks.
So the question is, with so many inns in front of you, which one is Xie Li's foothold?
"Find the biggest and most expensive inn that no one makes trouble, and there are big forces behind it."
Tengu responded, sent someone out to investigate, and he accompanied Ming Jin and them to find a restaurant...
Eat!
If you didn't just finish eating, why do you eat it?
"If you don't eat at this point, nine times out of ten you have just come in, you have money to keep in, and you don't know Linzhou City, so it's easiest to start."
"You'll be targeted."
The tengu told them that there had been several groups of people watching them along the way, and that some were hanging behind them.
In fact, they can completely solve these people, but they don't want to startle the snake, so they can only deal with it gently.
So everyone entered an inconspicuous restaurant, looking no different from the normal restaurant outside, the dishes, the boss's little house, it was crowded, very noisy, anyway, Ming Dai endured the smell of sweat wafting from the group of big men at the next table for a long time.
All to save my father, endure!
You see that Xie Mingjin can endure it, and he still looks at those big men from time to time, and he doesn't know what he is looking at.
Ming Dai slandered in her heart and simply ordered.
Everyone was very tacit, and they didn't order meat, and I don't know if it was because of Ming Jin's previous words, plus the impact of the owl child and the severed hand was too great.
Steamed buns, green vegetable soup, stir-fried vegetables....
Actually, they've packed some food, and if they're hungry at night, they can take it to fill their hunger, but can they eat it?
Although they are not hungry now.
"Wait a minute, we'll pretend to be a deliberate ruckus, knock over the food, and then lose money and leave."
Actually, I'm not sure if there is a problem with these meals, but it's best not to eat them until you have time to figure them out.
Just when Tengu and the others were about to flip the table....
Bang!!!
A flying piece of wood slammed into the table.
At that time, the three of them had been pulled up by Tengu and others and retreated.
Broken dishes, messy dishes, splattered juices.
Everyone looked out into the street and saw the scene of the fight on the street, the stalls on the street were smashed, the planks were broken, and the pieces flew sideways, which smashed their food, although it was also in the middle of it, but it was also quite surprising.
"What are you doing?!"
"Why did you attack us all of a sudden?"
The few people who were beaten were good, and under the angry reprimand, the people who attacked them did not speak at all, but only increased their attacks, pressing step by step.
"Let's go!"
Seeing the situation, those people suddenly wanted to escape, and one of them took something out of his clothes and threw it on the ground, bang! The smoke exploded, and they thought that a few people could take advantage of the chaos to escape, but they didn't expect it.... Yes!!! Extremely horrible and terrible screams.
And then poof..... Blood spurted frantically from the severed neck, and several of the fallen heads gurgled and rolled on the ground several times, and one of them rolled to the front of the inn where Ming Jin and the others were.
Peony and Mingdai: "...."
I was blind and blind, and I didn't see anything.
And the beheadeds were two red-robed men, their faces unreadable, covered in hoods, holding thin scimitars.
Ming Jin was actually shocked by this scene, but she also noticed that everyone was afraid of these two red-robed people.
The group that had fought with the dead had fallen to their knees respectfully, muttering something like slaves submitting to the monarch.
The two red-robed men also uttered strange words, and then the man lying on the ground got up, dragged the decapitated corpse, and also threw out the silver hook from the sleeve, hooked through the bloody decapitated ear, and pulled away a few fresh heads like a string of balls.
As soon as these people left, the streets gradually returned to liveliness.
Tengu and the others had solemn faces, while Ming Jin pursed her lips and looked at the large blood stain on the ground that no one had dealt with at all, even if it was at night, she could not see clearly, she could be sure that the stone slabs of this street must be black and red.
Again and again the blood flowed into rivers and then dried up.
After leaving the hotel, Peony realized that "I remembered, they seem to have come in with us, and they seem to be from the rivers and lakes." ”
Obviously, these Jianghu people were targeted and then killed.
"Is it just for the sake of taking money? They don't think they have much money. ”
No one can answer the question of peony now.
"There are indeed a lot of secrets in this place, the big men who eat at the table next to us, they don't have martial arts, they are not from the rivers and lakes, but they look like laborers, it stands to reason that a place like Linzhou City is not productive, at most there is arable land to work, but there are many smelting mineral powders on their skin and nails, indicating that there may be mining in this Linzhou City."
Ming Jin raised her hand, and there was a layer of gray and black powder on her fingers, which was obtained by casually walking past the next table when everyone got up to look out when everyone was just alarmed, and wiped her fingers on the other party's table.
Powder.
Fingertips Mosuo, she thoughtfully.
