Chapter 2 Transactions
To the west of the abandoned Biluogou Copper Mine, the steep Biluo Mountain and the old forest of hungry ghosts in the north stretch together, revealing an eerie and murderous atmosphere in the night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Instead of leading the group into the copper mine through the official entrance to the east, Kimu turned south and then detoured to the west to the foot of Biluo Mountain, before ordering the group to get down from their respective carriages.
Then the carriage continued to move forward, and Oni Wu led the group over the mountains and mountains, preparing to cut into the mine from the mountains and forests to the west.
Jia Ming didn't expect Ghost Wu to suddenly change his route, and he was faintly uneasy in his heart.
Everyone knew the intentions of the ghost martial arts, and they all followed the order not to set torches and oil lamps, but to take advantage of the moonlight to walk in the dark on the mountain road.
After walking for a while, the beard of the Xuanwu group couldn't help but ask: "The terrain here is dangerous, if the seller designs an ambush for us, won't it be the other party's way?"
While observing the surroundings, Ghost Wu said in a low voice: "The seller is reluctant to trade in the city, so we have to choose this place where there is an open area to observe the situation and a place where we can quickly retreat to hide the tracks. I had agreed with them to enter through the east entrance, but to be on the safe side, I decided to take my brothers around from the west side and see what was going on. ”
The voice fell, but he saw the flower snake "whoosh" over, pointed to the bushes not far from the southeast and whispered: "Brother ghost, look!"
Ghost Wu followed the prestige, and saw a black shadow in front of him slowly moving, and as soon as he heard the sound of the flower snake, he immediately stood still.
Ghost Wu concentrated his eyes on the sifting and made sure that the black shadow was a person with a bowed body!
"Who's coming out!"
Oni Wu shouted violently, piercing the silence of the night.
The black shadow heard the scolding, and immediately crouched down and shrunk into a smaller ball.
"Come out, I've seen you. ”
Ghost Wu lowered his voice, and the three blood wolf claws on the back of his hand shot out, and the rest of the Celestial Star Gang also took out the blades they carried with them.
The other party still shrunk into a ball, unmoved.
"Hehe......" Oni Wu suddenly laughed as he noticed that the dark shadow was trembling in the night.
Call!
With the faint cold light of the blood wolf's claws, the ghost warrior galloped towards the black shadow, and the Celestial Star Gang immediately surrounded the black shadow.
In a few leaps, Oni Wuji stood three feet away from the black shadow.
The one who shrunk into a ball turned out to be a middle-aged peasant woman!
"Who are you, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
Oni Wu asked, wiping his three steel claws, as if cleaning the dishes before eating.
"I didn't do anything...... Mountain... There are a few old Moon Shadow trees at the foot of the mountain, and I just want to pick some Moon Shadow Thorns to sell to the medicine shop...... So that you can buy clothes for your child. ”
The peasant woman shuddered, and because of excessive fear, she couldn't stop crying when she talked about it.
Jia Ming looked at her swollen hands, and immediately remembered the situation of Tasha's mother in the slum taking her sister Garan to collect the Moon Shadow Thorn, and hurriedly said to Ghost Wu: "Brother Ghost, it is indeed here to collect the Moon Shadow Thorn." If you look at her hands, the Moon Shadow Thorn will only show its tip in the moonlight, and if you don't pay attention to it when collecting, it will prick your hand and your hand will be swollen. ”
Ghost Wu stared at the peasant woman's hand noncommittally, still sneering: "You said that you came to collect the Moon Shadow Thorn, so tell me, what is the effect of this Moon Shadow Thorn?
The peasant woman shuddered, "The Moon Shadow Thorn is in conjunction with several other medicines...... It is very useful for people who practice martial arts to treat external injuries. Pick...... It must be a big moon day when collecting, and it is best to collect it by a woman, if its thorns pierce a man's hand, the man's blood will destroy its medicinal properties of extreme yin. ”
"Well, yes, the answer is very smooth, it seems that you are really here to collect medicine, is there anyone else coming with you?" Ghost Wu asked gloomily as he looked the peasant woman up and down.
"No, not really. The peasant woman shook her head desperately, "I just want to pick some Moon Shadow Thorns, please let me go." ”
Oni Wu nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, you can go." ”
"Thank you, big brother!"
The peasant woman ran desperately up the hill as if she had been pardoned. But as soon as she ran a few steps, three cold lights suddenly entered her body from behind with the sound of breaking through the sky, and the peasant woman's body was immediately carried into the air, and the three cold lights still flashed around her body......
When she landed, the peasant woman's body had been dismembered into countless corpses, and Ghost Wu looked at the internal organs still hanging on the steel claws and smiled fiercely: "Regardless of whether she came to pick the Moon Shadow Thorn or not, for the safety of my brothers, I had to send her on the road." ”
Seeing the quick killing methods of the ghost martial arts, the Tianxing Gang, especially the people in the Xuanwu and Suzaku groups, all looked sideways.
Ghost Wu asked everyone to continue walking, but Jia Ming looked at the tragic flesh and blood all over the ground in a daze, unable to take a step.
The flower snake whispered in his ear: "Brother Ghost just uses this mother-in-law to stand up in front of the other two groups of people, you don't meddle around, go quickly, don't make Brother Ghost angry." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a whimper not far from the direction of the mountain, which seemed to have been suppressed for too long, crying and crying, and actually crying and crying.
It was actually the cry of a little girl.
Everyone gathered around, and it turned out to be a little girl of eight or nine years old hiding by the side of the road, holding a basket in her hand, and the basket was full of moon shadow thorns.
Gamin thought of his sister again, who had carried such a basket with Tasha's mother to collect the Moon Shadow Thorns.
Ghost Wu looked at the little girl and said to everyone: "Everyone said, what should I do?"
As he spoke, he casually glanced at the flower snake.
The flower snake understood, and said with a straight face: "Brother Ghost, if you let her go down the mountain, she will definitely bring someone to retaliate when she returns to the village." Even if we don't come, we must keep tonight's events absolutely secret, lest it reach people who shouldn't hear it in the future. It's not as good as ......."
Oni Wu nodded in acquiescence.
The flower snake walked up to the little girl with the snow dragon knife, and the little girl stared at the white dangling blade in the flower snake's hand with wide eyes and horror, and her howling cry turned into a thin whimper under the suppression of fear......
The cold light flashed, and the little girl's faint whimpering came to an abrupt end.
Jia Ming stood in place, looking at Oni Wu with an expressionless face.
Ghost Wu slapped Jia Ming on the back of the head with a "snap", "Boy, learn a little, come out and mix, the most important thing is to kill decisively and ruthlessly! ”
"Brother Ghost is taught. Jia Ming looked at the back of the ghost warrior forward, and his pupils gradually contracted.
After arriving at the outskirts of the copper mine, Oni Wu pointed to an empty dam below and said, "In the center of the transshipment yard below is the trading location we have chosen. What is the situation, we can see at a glance. Even if there is an ambush on the periphery, we will have time to retreat. ”
The crowd immediately spread out according to the order of the ghost warrior, lurking in the mine ditch, condescendingly observing the surrounding situation.
When the moon is in the sky, except for the "chirping" of insects on the empty dam, it is a deathly silence.
"Damn, the hour has come, and I haven't even seen a ghost! Could it be that someone has played it?"
"Brother ghost, maybe the other party is also hiding in the shadows and wants to observe us. The flower snake said flatteringly: "Why don't we shout the code of the joint in the air and see if there is a response." ”
"It's still you kid smart. Oni Wu readily agreed.
Flower Snake cleared his throat and said loudly, "What kind of person, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"
After a while, a jerky accent that was obviously not native sounded in the col opposite.
"My brother mined here during his lifetime, and there was no peace after his death, and the day before he dreamed of me, let me come here to summon souls and ask for peace!"
Seeing that someone had made the cut, Ghost Wu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the flower snake to reply to the next code.
"This family specializes in conjuring spirits, and today is the most opportune!"
As soon as the words fell, two flames burst out of the col opposite, and then the flames drifted towards the center of the dam like two ghostly fires. When the flames stopped, Ghost Wu and the others saw that it was two men in black who came to the center of the dam with torches.
One of the men in black said loudly, "Brother of the Celestial Star Gang, please come out and speak!"
Ghost Wu then led everyone down the hill, and the red-haired woman from the Vermilion Bird Group came to Ghost Wu and whispered: "Brother Ghost, it seems that there are only two people on the other side, can we ......?"
Ghost Wu Yin smiled: "Let's see the situation." ”
According to the orders of the Ghost Warriors, the people of the Celestial Star Gang immediately surrounded the two of them after descending the mountain, according to the speculation of the Ghost Warriors, if the other party still had manpower, they would definitely appear when they saw this formation.
When the encirclement was completed, there were still only two people on the other side, and the ghost warrior and the red-haired woman glanced at each other, a little distracted.
But as soon as Oni Wu approached the man in black, he immediately congratulated himself that he hadn't acted rashly.
Although the man in black was tightly covered from head to toe with a black cloth, in the two holes left on the black mask, the pair of pupils were shining like night pearls!
And three feet away, you can hear the heavy breathing of the man in black, which is not like a human at all, but like a lion and a tiger-like beast!
Ghost Wu and the others immediately understood that the sellers were not human beings at all, but two demon clans!
When Oni Wu looked at the red-haired woman again, his eyes had turned into deep jealousy.
"Luckily, I brought enough people with me today. Ghost Wu calmed down and calmly said to the man in black: "Since the two friends are here, please take out the things and let us see the goods." ”
The man in black nodded, and with a flip of his wrist, there was an extra gem the size of an egg, with a faint blue luster, as clear as ice crystals, in his palm.
The eyes of the people of the Celestial Star Gang lit up, and most of them saw this legendary magic spirit stone for the first time, and some of them couldn't help but be amazed.
Ghost Wu subconsciously wanted to reach out and take it, but the man in black pulled the demon spirit stone into his fist with his backhand, "Gold coins, where are our gold coins?" the man in black said in a broken local dialect.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Realizing that he had lost his temper, Oni Wu glanced at the two men in the gang who were carrying suitcases.
The two of them understood, brought the box to the man in black and opened it, and deliberately shook it, and for a while the golden light was shining and the gold coins were rattling.
The two men in black glanced at each other, nodded, and threw the Demon Spirit Stone to Ghost Wu.
As soon as Ghost Wu took the Demon Spirit Stone, he immediately touched and smelled it, and used all the knowledge of the Heavenly Evil Supplement to identify it.
After some inspection, Oni Wu winked at the flower snake with satisfaction, "Go and get the carat scale." ”
"Yes, Ghost Brother. ”
The flower snake's voice fell, and a penetrating voice suddenly sounded on the outer hillside!
"You have such a good Demon Spirit Stone, why should you hand it over to our Holy Eagle Stone Hunting Team, right?"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, and they showed their blades one after another, and formed a circle back to back.
Ghost Wu hurriedly took the Demon Spirit Stone into his arms, ejected the bloody wolf claws, and said viciously to the mountain slope that sounded: "****** is so bold, dare to pretend to be the Holy Eagle Stone Hunting Team, Lao Tzu is the Stone Hunting Team!"
The voice suddenly burst out laughing, "It seems that I should say this sentence." ”
As soon as the words fell, a series of bright lights and shadows lit up around the entire transfer yard dam, encircling the dam.
Those who are familiar with the Holy Eagle Stone Hunting Team know that this is the standard night patrol lamp used by the Holy Eagle Stone Hunting Team for night attendance, a steel chain connects the lamp body containing luminous sand with the arm guard, and the eagle claws of the lamp head are spaced apart from the triangle that buckles the pentagonal lampshade.
"We received a report that you will illegally trade demon spirit stones here, and now that everyone is stolen, you had better not make unnecessary resistance, otherwise, hehe......"
As the words fell, a stream of lights was already sloping down the hillside.
