After the Heavenly Demon Sect evacuated, the strangeness gradually disappeared, and Nie Ming left all the way but nothing strange happened, but it was surprisingly quiet along the way, and the big movement just now didn't wake up a person, which made Nie Ming a little surprised.

He probed the surrounding houses, and it seemed that all the townspeople were in a deep sleep, which made him frown, such a terrible control would not have been possible in a normal town.

Now Nie Ming somewhat believed what the other party said, these people seemed to have been put down by sleeping pills, and it was definitely not compulsory to take this medicine if they could put everyone down at the same time.

Of course, there is another possibility for this, that is, there are a large number of Heavenly Demon Sect disciples in this town, but if this is the case, then this place is really full of dangers.

The Heavenly Demon Sect is really powerful! After dormant for decades, even a town can be firmly controlled, and the surrounding area doesn't seem to be so safe! Nie Ming, who was full of thoughts, knocked on the back door of Huangshaju.

But before he could open his mouth, the door opened, and Lieber seemed to have been waiting for him.

Li Bo smiled and said, "Why, did you come back to me for information until you suffered a lot?" What did I say earlier? ”

The strong smile on Nie Ming's face instantly collapsed: "Li Bo, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect is indeed not easy to deal with, let's go in and talk about it." ”

"Hmph, the information has already been prepared for you, it's just that you didn't get it all." Li Bo opened the door, and Nie Ming led the horse and walked in.

A moment later, the two of them came to a dark room, which contained a large amount of information compiled by Li Bo, which was full of three books.

Nie Ming didn't talk nonsense this time, and directly looked through it under the oil lamp, Li Bo silently poured him a bowl of tea and waited to answer his questions, everything seemed to return to Nie Ming's youth when he just started learning.

The intelligence network of Tianmen City is very powerful, and the contents of these three books are the whereabouts of the Heavenly Demon Sect in recent years, the strength mobilization near Wufu, and the major events of Wufu in the past year.

The whereabouts of the Heavenly Demon Sect Nie Ming just took a cursory look, after all, they were just passing by, and the strong dragon did not suppress the ground snake, so it was not good to provoke these madmen.

However, even if it is only a cursory glance, it can still be seen that the power of the Heavenly Demon Sect has now radiated to dozens of state capitals in Lingnan, and at the same time, their power is constantly extending northward.

The forces around Wufu are very clear, the Jiangling Su Clan, Jinyiwei, Yingchuan Chen Clan, and the Heavenly Demon Sect are the four major forces, and the Heavenly Demon Sect does not participate in the competition, so they are not a threat.

However, there are several interesting things recorded in this booklet -- the number of people who disappeared from the mountains shortly after this year reached 427, of which only 127 were reported to the authorities.

In addition to these, there is also a wave of people worth noting, the Japanese Kou, those people who fought once in Nie Ming also retreated into the mountains.

"The number of people who are missing in this way is too large, and there is fraud in it." Nie Ming smiled and took a sip of tea, "This is the fifth force, counting the Japanese may be the six directions." ”

"It may be, or maybe the Japanese are ambushes for one of these forces." Li Bo nodded, "Good insight, look at the next one." ”

Nie Ming nodded and silently opened the next booklet, and the content of this booklet made the situation even more confusing.

Three months ago, someone from the provincial capital secretly came to Wufu to visit the local tea makers, and then the town's struggle over tea came to an abrupt end.

Two months ago, that is, during the time when the holy decree was issued, several of Wufu's current tea-making masters held a secret meeting under the convening of a mysterious person.

Yesterday, after the three forces arrived and saw a few representatives, all the tea makers disappeared at night, as if there was a mysterious devil's claw behind the incident controlling all this.

"Lieber, what do you suggest?" Nie Ming said solemnly, "The things behind this are interesting." ”

"Entrusted by others, loyal to people, don't worry about what shouldn't be mixed blindly." Li Bo took a sip of tea, "Black Rock City has been hanging outside the territory for so many years, relying on himself. ”

Nie Ming nodded, and continued to look at the information in his hand: "Li Bo, go and rest, I will leave by myself tomorrow morning." ”

"Don't work too hard." Li Bo walked out of the secret room with a smile and closed the door

······

The next morning, Nie Ming returned to the inn before dawn, and when he walked into the inn, he found that all the windows on the third and fourth floors were opened, and on the first floor of the inn sat Ren Zongheng with a gloomy face.

At this time, the little shopkeeper did not seem to have gotten up yet, and it was several old women who entertained the guests.

Nie Ming sat directly beside Ren Zongheng: "Brother Ren has dealt with the tail of his hands?" ”

"Damn, who did you meet?" Ren Zongheng did not reply directly to Nie Ming's words, but stared at him with bloodshot eyes.

"Heavenly Demon Sect, it's your turn." Nie Ming unceremoniously poured a cup of brewed tea, and then tasted it slowly.

"You also met someone from the Heavenly Demon Sect? Which one? I was confronted with a mad sword, one of the four protectors. Ren Zongheng was a little surprised.

"You also met someone from the Heavenly Demon Sect? I met Yukihime from the Two Holy Maidens. Nie Ming said, "When I return to the inn, this place is already full..."

"I know, but I didn't expect the Heavenly Demon Sect to resurrect and provoke the majesty of our Jinyi Guard." Ren Zongheng slammed his fist on the table, "We entered your and Brother Su's room in the morning, please don't mind." ”

"It's not a problem, but what are you doing chasing the Heavenly Demon Sect?" Nie Ming asked curiously.

"He must have seen a tea maker taken away." Su Canghai walked in through the gate.

There was a lot of blood on his white clothes, and his eyes were also bloodshot, and he knew that he hadn't slept all night. And behind him was Chen Liang, who had blood at the corner of his mouth, and his face was gloomy, obviously because he was not lightly injured.

They sat in their seats and exchanged situations, and then the other three left their positions at the same time, and since all three had been delayed all night, they were now back on the same running line.

After leaving Lan Yuetai, the three forces are ready to contact the people of Wufu Tea more frequently, and the three forces all want to win this year's tea king crown, so the competition is extremely fierce, as for the conditions they offered, it is unknown.

People who like to drink tea in Zhongzhou basically know that there are only Lin, Liu, and Zhou who make tea in Wufu, and the tea they are good at making is Wuyi rock tea, but because they have different recipes, the tea made has its own characteristics.

The Lin family and the Liu family are easy to say, and now they are both well-known big shops in the town, but the Zhou family didn't know why they offended any force five years ago, and they were almost wiped out overnight, leaving only an orphan girl to guard the foundation of their ancestors.

As a glutton in tea, Nie Ming naturally understands that the five representatives of Wuyi Rock Tea are the iron arhats and water golden turtles of the Lin family, the white rooster comb of the Liu family, and the big red robe and the half-heavenly demon of the Zhou family.

Naturally, there are also some teas that can be compared to the three families, so they have more than one goal.

Su Canghai told Nie Ming and left the inn, he wanted to visit those people again, as the second son of the Jiangling Su family, his identity still has some cards, and those people must see him.

Nie Ming didn't interfere in his friend's affairs, after all, he was here to help the fist, and it was not a way to be a guest, so he chose to go back to the room and take a nap.

······

After waking up and finishing the meal, Nie Ming leaned on the railing again and began to ask Xiao Chong to make tea.

Xiao Chong did not refuse, because the tea leaves that could be carried by Nie Ming were not ordinary things, and Xiao Chong, who had been accompanied by tea since childhood, liked the smell of this tea very much.

Xiaozhong believes that every batch of good tea is the resonance of tea leaves containing the aura of heaven and earth and tea makers.

Today, the tea that Nie Ming took out is the high-grade white cockscomb produced by the Liu family, the bottom of the white cockscomb leaves is fat and soft, the green leaves are red edged, the soup is rich and bright, orange-red, the aroma is rich and clear, and the two of them have been drinking for half a day.

When it was time for lunch, Su Canghai slowly paced back to the inn, obviously not gaining anything.

"What do you mean?" Nie Ming stretched his waist and changed his posture again.

"What can you say? Two dragons crossing the river plus my half of the head snake, there are wolves staring in the dark, who dares to let go and offend other families? Su Canghai shook his head helplessly, "This matter is difficult to do." ”

"You really haven't seen the tea makers themselves?" Nie Ming asked.

"It's true that there aren't, but they're all received by the head of the family in person, and it's hard for me to say anything." Su Canghai sighed, "I'm afraid what we saw is a real person." ”

"Then it's troublesome." Nie Ming frowned, "Where are we going to find someone to make tea when the tea maker is missing?" ”

"I have a way, you can find a tea maker from another city." Xiao Chong gave his own advice, "Have you ever heard of Kiulowni Pass? ”

"That's nature, and the quality of the black tea there is also very good." Su Canghai replied.

Tongmu Pass, here is the Wuyi Mountain Fault Pass, the altitude is 1100 meters, once the Fujian and Jiangxi ancient roads run through it, the traffic and military important places of the previous dynasties, once built a wall and garrisoned the soldiers, to defend strongly, one of the eight Xiongguan of Wuyi Mountain.

Liguan looks north, the high mountains on both sides rise into the clouds, and the "V" shaped canyon is like a moat, stretching straight to Jiangxi Leadshan County. This is the Tongmuguan fault zone caused by geological activities, which is one of the famous fault zones in China, and it is extremely magnificent.

The treasure of Tongmuguan black tea is hidden between the mountains here, and the reason why this Zhengshan red is precious is because the whole process is handmade by the tea master, and every two tea leaves need thousands of fresh tea buds.

The original leaves of their tea leaves are all fresh tea buds of high mountain wild varieties in Wuyi Mountain, and then completed through a series of complex processing steps such as withering, shaking, fermentation, and rolling.

At the same time, the tea farmers who stayed in Tongmuguan abided by the ancestral teachings and did not leave the pass half a step, and the production process was never passed on, and the black tea produced has always been the best product.

Every year, a large number of tea merchants spend a lot of time to go around the mountain road to Tongmu Pass for profit, five years ago the Zhou family was wiped out overnight, and Zhengshan Red this kind of tea is the first to recommend Tongmu Pass today.

"However, it will take six or seven days to go back and forth from Wufu to Tongmu Pass, so you will definitely miss the opening ceremony of the tea picking party." Su Canghai said helplessly.

Nie Ming naturally understood Su Canghai's worries, and he said, "Don't worry, I am here, you can invite the tea maker and go directly to Jiulongyao to meet." ”

"Then please, I'm ready to leave immediately." Su Canghai blew a whistle, and immediately a person ran in from outside the inn.

Su Canghai gave a simple order and continued to drink tea with Nie Ming, and soon a carriage stopped on the side of the road.

When the tea is finished, people leave.
