Chapter 8 Speculation

[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that the watchdog of the Immortal Dao entered the restaurant and was soon discovered by Mu Qingming. Mu Qingming not only did not startle the snake, but also threw a *** with Zhao Liang to the other party. It wasn't until after the watcher left, Mu Qingming, who was sure that the environment was safe, that he said his true purpose. It turned out that he invited Zhao Liang to drink and eat, just to know, where is the little-known secret prison set up by Zhao Liang's boss? Mu Qingming wants to enter it and visit the prisoners held in the secret prison. Under Mu Qingming's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Zhao Liang couldn't help but let go and told Mu Qingming the location of the prison. As for the fake news that Mu Qingming and Zhao Liang threw to the monitors together, it also spread to the West Mountain that night. 】

On the street outside the restaurant, it is bustling and lively on a sunny day after the rain. The breeze blows through the street, and it is a quiet private room, and the bright sunlight outside the window shines in, making the private room bright.

The heat rising from the dishes, with the aroma of the dishes, wafts around the private room.

This can make people smell the aroma of the food, but Zhao Liang smells it but has no appetite.

Zhao Liang hadn't seen Mu Qingming for a long time, and as soon as he saw Mu Qingming today, the other party gave him Zhao Liang a surprise; No, for Zhao Liang, the words that Mu Qingming said were actually frightened.

Even in the bright sunshine, Zhao Liang was shocked into a cold sweat. The breeze blew again, and Zhao Liang's hairs stood on end in an instant, and his spine couldn't help but feel cold.

Fortunately, there is also Zhao Liang, who has been at a loss for a long time, and still maintains a trace of calmness and sanity. If he was a reckless person, he would have already pulled out a gun and killed Mu Qingming.

Zhao Liang sat on the chair, and after thinking for a long time, he opened his mouth to break the silence and asked Mu Qingming: "I don't have to ask how you know about the secret prison, but what are you going to do when you want to meet that person?" ”。

Obviously, Zhao Liang didn't know Mu Qing's purpose, and his eyes were still full of incomprehension and confusion.

Of course, he didn't know that the prisoner he was holding was the only remaining master of the Immortal Dao. His superiors would never tell them these secrets to the guards for the sake of secrecy.

As for Mu Qingming, he has learned a little mind reading from Mo Han in recent years, although Mu Qingming has no talent in this regard, and he has only learned some fur, but it is enough to deal with Zhao Liang. When Mu Qingming read Zhao Liang's surprise under the four eyes, he was a little surprised, I don't know what Mu Qingming wants to do when he wants to see such an inexplicable detained person?

Mu Qingming immediately learned from these emotional fluctuations that Zhao Liang did not know the identity of the person being held. So I made a quick decision and changed my strategy slightly.

Mu Qingming met Zhao Liang's surprised gaze, and said unhurriedly: "Actually, you also know the Dao, I came to Spring City to eradicate the Dao of Immortality." Everything I do, of course, is for this purpose. ”。

When Mu Qingming said this, he took advantage of the pause, paused his wine bowl, took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and then opened his mouth and said: "I want to see this person because this person has something to do with the Immortal Dao, and it is also part of the plan to eradicate the Immortal Dao." You also have the goal of eradicating this evil cult that endangers one side, and our goal is the same, so you should help me. ”。

Mu Qingming said these words very lightly. Coupled with the bustle and noise outside the window, only Zhao Liang, who was close at hand, heard what he said clearly.

However, Mu Qingming also said that half of it would be left behind, and he didn't say the identity of the prisoner. It's not that he can't believe Zhao Liang, it's just that Mu Qingming thinks the same as Zhao Liang, the more he knows, the more dangerous it is, so don't pull your good friends in.

Since Zhao Liang is 'ignorant' about the prisoner, it is better to continue to let him be ignorant.

But in one sentence, Zhao Liang absolutely couldn't refuse.

Zhao Liang, who heard Mu Qing's words clearly, was stunned again. Zhao Liang couldn't help but turn a deaf ear to the noise outside the window, and it seemed that the world fell into a stagnation in an instant.

Zhao Liang, who didn't know the life history of the prisoner, couldn't connect the immortal path with this prisoner who was secretly imprisoned.

Prior to this, although Zhao Liang had not asked his boss much about this prisoner, he had secretly guessed the identity of this person in private. I even wonder if this person has a grudge against his boss for killing his father and taking his wife?

Otherwise, his boss wants to take him away and lock him up.

In this way, Zhao Liangsi also felt that he was thinking outrageously, but he didn't expect the answer Mu Qingming gave him to be even more outrageous.

Zhao Liang, who was puzzled, couldn't help muttering: "I've seen that person one or two times, this person is skinny, powerless, and has no temperament, at first glance, he is an ordinary ordinary person." This kind of person does not have evil human qualities in him, how can he have anything to do with the Immortal Dao? ”。

"I won't say much about the specifics, but this person really has something to do with the eradication of the Immortal Dao." Mu Qingming, who had eaten two bites of food, took another sip of wine, and then added softly: "This person is one of the keys to whether or not you can uproot the Immortal Dao and completely eradicate it. ”。

Speaking of which, Mu Qingming simply struck while the iron was hot, and after a pause, when the surprise turned into curiosity in Zhao Liang's eyes, Mu Qingming whispered to him again: "If you are afraid of leaking secrets, it will cause your boss to kill people." You don't have to take me there yourself, you just tell me the address of the prison, and I'll sneak in. Make sure that God doesn't know it, bypass all the guards, and see this person quietly. ”。

"What would happen if that prisoner saw you?" After Zhao Liang patiently listened to Mu Qingming's suggestion, he asked thoughtfully.

Zhao Liang's two thick black eyebrows wrinkled slightly. At the same time, he picked up the chopsticks, also took a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it slowly.

Zhao Liang knew that the guards were basically on the periphery, and his boss did not let anyone contact the prisoners. In addition to delivering food and pouring prisoners' feces and urine, the guards will not approach the cell.

And the people in prison are weird, and they can mumble to themselves, and they don't want to talk to others.

Mu Qingming has another magical power, and he can indeed sneak into it easily, and the gods can sneak into it unconsciously. Like a gust of wind, avoid all the guards and come and go freely in the prison.

It's just that this Mu Qingming is as vicious as an evil man, and Zhao Liang also knows it.

Zhao Liang's eyebrows flashed with worry, which slowly spread into his eyes. He was worried that Mu Qingming would kill this person quietly, and he would not be able to explain to his boss.

"It won't be." Mu Qingming shook his head slowly, and assured Zhao Liang categorically: "He will live well in your prison, and when I ask me about what I want to know, he will naturally leave, and he will not alarm any guards." I would never touch him in the hair. It is up to you to decide whether he lives or dies. ”。

Zhao Liang believed Mu Qingming's words, after all, he knew that Mu Qingming would not talk about these serious matters. At least not with his friend.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Liang felt that as long as the prisoner lived well, and the guards guarding the secret prison did not find out that Mu Qingming had entered the secret prison, then his leakage of the location of the secret prison would naturally not be known by the third person.

The point is that this can also eradicate the path of immortality, which will kill two birds with one stone; In these matters, Zhao Liang was convinced of Mu Qingming.

As Mu Qingming said, the two of them have the same goal. So Zhao Liang decided to help Mu Qingming at the moment.

However, for the sake of safety, Zhao Liang still got up silently and closed the window, walked to the door again, opened the door and probed, looked left and right, confirmed the safety of the surroundings, and then closed the door and walked back to the private room.

Zhao Liang, who sat down, lowered his voice again and asked Mu Qingming, "You should know about Beimen Street, right?" ”。

Mu Qingming nodded, as an answer.

Of course, he knew about North Gate Street, and it was not far from where he worked. And that place is also very lively during the day. After all, it is close to the north gate of the city, and it is backed by Yuantong Mountain, and there are many dignitaries and nobles living in that place, which can be regarded as a very popular place in the city.

"There is a small courtyard on North Gate Street, and the courtyard gate opens into the alley. The whole alley is not long, and there is only this small courtyard. On the cornices on the head of the gate, there are two stone lions looking at the sky, only the size of a fist; The small courtyard is only a hundred steps away from the Governor's Mansion. Seeing him Mu Qingming nodded, Zhao Liang continued to say slowly in a soft voice that only Mu Qingming could hear clearly: "The floor tile to the left of the floor tile in the middle of the east house in the small courtyard is moving. Open the floor tiles to see the tunnel, go down the tunnel, pass through the iron gate with more than three big locks, and go to the deepest point, which is the secret prison. That place is already under the Yuantong Mountain. ”。

Zhao Liang tried to be as detailed as possible, but he wanted to give Mu Qingming more preparations, so as not to show his stuffing and not to alarm the guards.

Mu Qing secretly wrote it down, but he also secretly sighed in his heart: It's a good one to be quiet in the middle of the noise; It turned out that the prison had been close at hand, but we searched all over the city and beyond, and we didn't expect that this prison was in the middle of the city......

The sun slowly moved westward, slowly sinking; Night fell between heaven and earth soon after.

After the darkness of the night, everything is silent.

After the rain, the sky is full of stars.

On the west mountain, there is also silence and tranquility. Even the mountain breeze has become gentle, but less frequent. It was no longer possible to see all the green, and in the dark night, only the outline of a mountain range could be faintly seen.

The land in the mountains is still a little damp, and the continuous heavy rain for several days has allowed the soil and rocks in the mountains to absorb enough rainwater, and it is still damp.

This also makes some places in the stronghold of the Immortal Dao still dripping slowly.

The sound of clattering always inadvertently breaks the long-term silence and echoes in the dark passages.

Fortunately, it took a lot of effort to build this stronghold, and the sewers were designed, and the dripping water would not accumulate water, but it was just a little damp and cold.

However, this kind of environment is very conducive to the cultivation of the evil arts of the Immortal Dao.

In addition to the necessary sentry posts in the stronghold, the other believers went back to their respective stone chambers after dinner, and went to practice.

The big war is imminent, and the people of the Immortal Dao do not intend to be captured, and they are even more unwilling to sit still. The preparations are being carried out step by step.

The disciples standing guard at the entrance and exit, not long after dark, suddenly saw a harrier fly up from the bottom of the mountain and land on the craggy strange rock outside the entrance.

On the harrier's leg hangs a finger-long slender bamboo tube, and the mouth is sealed with wax.

When the gatekeepers saw the bamboo tube on the harrier's leg, they immediately knew that it was the harrier in charge of transmitting the message in the church, so they hurriedly grabbed the harrier, took the bamboo tube, and released it.

The bamboo tube was not opened, so it was quickly sent into Liu Yang's stone room and placed on the stone table in front of Liu Yang.

The believers who delivered the letter quickly retreated again, and the heavy stone door slowly closed in a strong and powerful wind.

The candle flame on the stone table, which is no bigger than a bean, is enough to illuminate the bamboo tube lying quietly on the stone table.

Liu Yang also used the candle flame to see clearly the rough pattern carved on the bamboo tube with a small blade in the middle. The pattern is an eye, a single one-eye, across the bamboo tube.

Rough and simple, the pattern is just a small dot in an ellipse.

There are many marks on the transmission between the Immortal Dao, and each mark represents the identity of various types of believers. And the mark that was now placed in front of Liu Yang's eyes was for the exclusive use of the Locking Dragon Monitors.

This also means that the letters contained in this bamboo tube come from the watchers.

Liu Yang picked up the bamboo tube, held it tightly in his hand, and squeezed it vigorously. Suddenly, there was a faint wisp of black gas between his fingers, which slowly rose and quickly dissipated without a trace.

When Liu Yang opened his hand again, there was no bamboo tube in his palm, just some more ashes and a rolled-up note.

Liu Yang picked up the note and blew on his hand, and the ashes kicked up a cloud of dust in front of his eyes and left the palm of his hand.

In the blink of an eye, there was no dust left, and Liu Yang's palm became clean.

And Liu Yang also unfolded the note and looked at it carefully.

The words on the note are very small, and what is recorded is only the part of the conversation between Mu Qingming and Zhao Liang during the day today, which is the part that the monitors heard.

That is, the part about finding the snitch, which seems to have some intentions.

When Liu Yang saw it, he was also puzzled.

The note clearly stated that Mu Qingming's purpose was to find the snitch to steal something, but what he wanted to steal, the watcher didn't dare to stay because of safety.

And Mu Qingming didn't tell Zhao Liang what he was going to steal, so the watcher didn't write it down on the note. But it was also mentioned that what Mu Qingming said he was going to steal was not an ordinary thing.

This bit of information immediately aroused Liu Yang's curiosity.

He carefully read the contents of the note in his hand a few times, and after remembering it in his heart, he crumpled the note into a ball, secretly lucky.

Then a green flame rose in the palm of his hand, and in the blink of an eye, the note was burned completely. And Liu Yang's palm was unscathed.

It seems that this evil man's Taoism has improved a lot, and he can even control his luck so well. Now Liu Yang is on par with Mu Qingming after the transformation of demonic energy.

The flame in Liu Yang's hand was extinguished, and he also fell into deep thought, his face looking a little sluggish because of his concentration.

He was speculating and conjecturing, what was Mu Qing going to steal?

Obviously, Mu Qingming didn't come directly to the Immortal Dao.

First, it was Liu Yang who still thought that his hiding place was very safe, and the people who locked the dragon didn't know that they, the few remaining immortal Dao evildoers, were hiding on the West Mountain.

Second, Mu Qingming didn't eat wild mushrooms and make trouble (Yunnan dialect, referring to eating mushrooms and poisoning delirium), nor did he faint, he knew that a few snitches came to the West Mountain to steal the Immortal Dao, and it must be looking for death.

Liu Yang thought about it like this, and after some speculation, it was even more confirmed from the side, Mu Qingming didn't know that he and his henchmen were hiding on the West Mountain.

This made Liu Yang even more relieved and emboldened.

After calming down and thinking about it carefully, he thought that since Mu Qingming was directly targeted, it was not him and the stronghold here.

So what is Mu Qingming going to steal?

Liu Yang continued to calm down and thought quietly.

What can Mu Qingming see in the prison? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
