The wolf's howl weakened, and there was a knock at the door.

Zifeng was scratching Princess Jianing's armpits and two ribs, itching Princess Jianing's branches and begging for mercy again and again. Hearing the knock on the door, Princess Jianing hurriedly dodged away, raised her pink fist and gestured fiercely at Zifeng a few times, and then said, "Come in!" ”

The Shadowless Boy walked in and said, "Are the princess and the messenger resting well?" ”

"There is the bothering of the labor re-education master, this place is very different from the Santong Ancient Tomb, and it is very suitable for rest." Princess Jianing quickly returned to her proper appearance.

The shadowless boy said: "Originally, the Hidden Spirit Continent was very different from now, and the Underworld Sect did some changes in order to control it well, and the princess and the envoy's cultivation and heart are very conceivable, and they can naturally see the real Hidden Spirit Continent." ”

Zifeng suddenly asked, "Is there any news of the Cui Destiny?" ”

The Shadowless Boy said, "The princess judged that he must return to the helm of the Underworld Sect, but so far there has been no news about him. ”

Princess Jianing hugged the delicate wolf and said: "Of course, the traitors of the Underworld Sect are afraid of the Underworld Sect to clean up the portal, so ordinary people dare not come back, but he must do the opposite, this is only one of them, and the second is that the disciples of the Underworld Sect are mostly in the shape of dead and alive people, almost everyone is the same, Cui Ming is the protector of the Underworld, of course, he can pretend to be a dead and alive person, even if he investigates them one by one, it will take a long time." ”

Zifeng suddenly realized and said, "I see." ”

The shadowless boy said categorically: "The princess is extremely accurate, the most important thing is that during the period of investigation, Cui Ming can calmly complete what he wants to do, so that he can turn defeat into victory." ”

Zifeng said: "Then what should we do now?" ”

The Shadowless Boy smiled: "Zifeng Messenger, don't forget, the princess has repeatedly stated that she is very interested in the Underworld Sect, and now the night is cool, which is very suitable for walking around." ”

Princess Jianing became interested and said, "Okay, wow, let's go outside for a walk, and the sect leader will tell us about the novelties of the Underworld Sect." ”

The shadowless boy said: "Princess, Zifeng messenger, please." ”

After walking out of the bedroom, Princess Jianing looked around: "Sect Master, where should we go first?" ”

The shadowless boy said, "Princess, do you see the red light there?" ”

Princess Jianing looked into the distance, nodded, and the shadowless boy said, "Let's go there and have a look." After the shadowless boy finished speaking, the wind came under his feet and drifted towards the place where the red light shone.

Princess Jianing took Zifeng's hand and said, "Sister Zifeng, let's go." ”

The two secretly activated their true qi and flew over with the shadowless boy. The delicate wolf was as vigorous as flying on the ground, and the green grass was constantly knocked open by it, and occasionally startled one or two birds that were sleeping overnight. The blue-eyed eagle flew peacefully in the air, chirping, and it was heard far away, and there were constantly echoes vibrating, making it seem very strange and desolate under the mountains.

There was a sound of dingdingdang, and by the time the sound was a little deafening, it had already reached the vicinity of the red light. Princess Jianing saw clearly that this is a huge construction site, and there are people everywhere, and it is very busy.

Walking into the construction site, the red light was emitted by huge burning torches piled together. As the torches burned, a liquid continued to flow down, and the thick black smoke from the flames rose into the sky, as if it were about to connect with the sky, but it was soon dispersed by the cool night wind.

The liquid flowed like a stream into the sea into a deep ditch, and the rocks around the deep ditch were white and bubbling, and the human remains were faintly visible in it.

Except for the sound of smashing stones, no one on the construction site spoke, and they were all doing their work silently. Walking into the crowd, Princess Jianing saw that everyone was working hard, and these jobs were obviously tiring work, and she thought: The shadowless boy is the head of a sect, why didn't anyone salute him? Why are these people dressed in black and covered with their heads, and they don't show their faces?

The shadowless boy walked in front, Princess Jianing and Zifeng followed, and the delicate wolf shuttled through the crowd. The delicate wolf bumped into a few people, but those people did not dodge or be afraid. The delicate wolf also seemed to be very strange, looked at it, and caught up with Princess Jianing again.

From time to time, the shadowless boy grabbed the stone powder in the basket and looked at it, nodded and said, "Princess, this is a gold mine in the Underworld Sect, and these disciples are harvesting ore and transporting it to the alchemy furnace to refine gold. ”

Princess Jianing looked around and said, "Judging from the number of people, this should be the most important source of wealth for the Underworld Sect, why is there no one ......to guard it?"

Before Princess Jianing's words were finished, several people fought. Judging from the movements, these people obviously don't know any martial arts, just use brute force to fight, but the problem is that these people are hugging each other and biting indiscriminately, knocking off their arms and ears, without a trace of shouting.

The shadowless boy jumped up and landed beside several people, and with a wave of his chopsticks and sword, several people were in different places.

The shadowless boy who turned around and came back laughed loudly and said, "Princess, you are used to seeing living people, and you always forget that this is the Underworld Sect, you look at these disciples, take a good look, and when you see it clearly, you will know why no one came to steal the gold." ”

Princess Jianing smiled and said, "It seems that in front of the gold and silver treasures, I am also a layman, I forgot, the disciples here are all dead and alive." ”

Zifeng was so frightened that she screamed, and two Underworld Sect disciples happened to pass by her with baskets. Her cry was loud, but the two disciples didn't hear it, and continued to walk.

Princess Jianing and the Shadowless Boy laughed.

Zifeng stabilized his mind and said: "I was still wondering just now, these people picked up a sledgehammer and smashed stones, never stopped, those people who carried the basket were two in a group, their gait was stiff but very consistent, such a long line was actually orderly, I also admired in my heart that these people were really well-trained, it turned out that they were all dead and alive." ”

Zifeng was very careful when he walked, as if he was afraid of running into dead and alive people.

The shadowless boy said as he walked: "These disciples really don't know how to be tired, but they don't stop resting, and they return to their residences every day at dawn. ”

Princess Jianing smiled, and the shadowless boy asked, "Princess, what are you laughing at?" ”

Princess Jianing said: "The sect leader is very interesting, it turns out that no one dares to steal these gold, but no one dares to be with the dead and alive in the middle of the night, these disciples finished mining gold ore, carried it to the refining furnace, quickly refined the gold, and put it away before it was dark, but there are people who dare to come during the day, but there is nothing here except stones, what do you come to steal?" ”

The Shadowless Boy laughed proudly, and Princess Jianing said again: "If I am not mistaken, the temperature of the alchemy furnace must be very high, so high that ordinary people dare not imagine. ”

Zifeng complained: "In the folk songs, there are many stories of men and women who have beautiful love in their work, how good you are with a living person, there are talking and laughing, how lively." The look in her eyes seemed to be extremely yearning for the ordinary life of ordinary people, and that moment of yearning made her expression much softer.

Princess Jianing said: "Sister Zifeng, you are really confused, the living have to guard against stealing, the living have to prepare to eat, drink and live, the living have a lot of trivial work, how good is this, these disciples are not afraid of hardship, no need to eat and live, not afraid of wind and rain, do not compare with each other, do not pay wages, is there a better money-making tool in the world?" ”

The Shadowless Boy didn't speak, just smiled triumphantly.

As they spoke, the three of them walked to a cave where the light of the fire had already shone outside.

Zifeng preemptively said, "This is the alchemy furnace?" ”

The shadowless boy said: "The messenger of Zifeng is right, you see! ”

Princess Jianing looked inside, and it turned out that several dead and alive people were mechanically throwing a kind of black wood into the stove. The black wood was thrown into the stove in pieces and quickly burst into flames. There was a fire in the furnace, and a group of dead and alive people were carrying gold ore, and the ladder was full of dead and alive people who followed and poured into the furnace.

The heat in the furnace continued to overflow like the sea bursting its banks, and spread infinitely, and the Shadowless Boy, Princess Jianing, and Zifeng soon felt the uncontrollable heat, they kept wiping their sweat, and the dead and alive were still doing their own things with expressionless faces.

Zifeng said: "It's worthy of being a dead and alive person, and he doesn't even sweat." ”

The Shadowless Boy said: "The Dragon Emperor ordered my sect to increase the supply of 10 million taels of gold this year, but there is no choice but to send more people to refine it day and night, and another batch of living dead will be sent here tomorrow night." ”

Princess Jianing didn't speak again, she couldn't have imagined that the gold in the Great Qiangong was actually refined by dead and alive.

Zifeng looked at it and said, "People in the world think how great gold is, but when you look at it here, it's just ordinary." ”

Zifeng's words caused the shadowless boy to laugh: "Zifeng's envoy is right, that's because gold is not easy to obtain, and it is everywhere here, so you can feel that gold is not precious." ”

Suddenly, a dark shadow came to the front and threw a dart with a raised hand, and the dart shot straight at Princess Jianing. Princess Jianing heard the bad wind around her, reached out to catch the dart, and exclaimed: "This is the kind of dart that hurts the nurse!" ”

Zifeng's feet were already off the ground, but Princess Jianing reached out and grabbed her.

The black shadow had drifted into the distance in the shadowless boy's momentary moment. The shadowless boy asked puzzledly, "Why didn't the princess let the Zifeng messenger chase her?" ”

Princess Jianing said: "This person is not far from us, I chased for most of the night last night, I was tired, and when I rested, I will compete with her again." ”

The shadowless boy thought for a moment and said, "This person must have appeared on purpose, she went and returned, there must be some purpose that has not been achieved, she wants to lure us away, so it seems that we can wait for the rabbit." ”

Princess Jianing smiled and said, "Sect Master, I'm tired, thank you for your hospitality, and I'll appreciate the mystery of your sect tomorrow." ”

The shadowless boy said: "The princess and the messenger should rest early, we will see you tomorrow, and I will send more people to protect the safety of the princess and the messenger." ”
