This tunnel, which was originally used for smuggling, has multiple branches and multiple entrances and exits, saying that it is a tunnel, but in fact it is similar to an underground labyrinth, and it is impossible for the city council to blow up all the tunnels, which will cause a large-scale structural collapse, they only blew up a few key nodes, blocking the road, and then there is a possibility of re-digging.

However, there are still some places that have completely collapsed, and the so-called re-excavation can only barely allow one person to pass through, and it is impossible to lay tracks, and naturally it is impossible to transport goods on a large scale.

So smuggling becomes smuggling.

In the cellar of this tavern there is an entrance to the tunnel.

As for why Qi Xuansu knew, it was not Qi Xuansu who swept this place with his divine thoughts, but the experience of the people in the rivers and lakes.

There is a saying in the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains, called: The foot teeth of the car and boat shop should be killed if they are not guilty. This may not be entirely true, but there is some truth to it. Human nature is the same, taverns, inns and other places will naturally gather people from all walks of life, and most of them will have some gray doors..z.

This tavern doesn't have it, Qi Xuansu can find another one, there will always be.

Now it seems that his luck is not bad, and the first one he finds is on target.

Because the tavern owner's body was too fat, he didn't personally lead Qi Xuansu, but called a thin guy to lead the way—let's call it this way, it's more in line with the habits of Orientals.

The guy removed a heavy keg shelf, revealing a boxy tunnel entrance.

The two walked into it one after the other.

The tunnels go all the way down to the dungeon in the lower city.

The first part is relatively intact, with obvious traces of artificial trimming, but the further down, the rougher it becomes, as the tavern owner said, this place has been blown up, and the re-excavated part is really a literal barely passable, uneven ground, all kinds of staggered rocks, and even the broken steel bars that were originally used to support the tunnel, like spears, blocking the road horizontally and vertically. If it is accidentally punctured, it will inevitably cause heavy bleeding.

In this kind of environment, not to mention transporting goods, even walking should be careful.

Because it is not vertically up and down through the gondola, but an inclined angle downward, the tunnel is very long, and there are many forks in the road, and it took three hours to walk before Qi Xuansu reached the end of the tunnel.

When the guy pushed away the cover that hid the exit, a faint light came in.

The dungeon has finally arrived.

The guy didn't mean to leave the tunnel, but made a "please" gesture.

Qi Xuansu bent down and walked out of the narrow tunnel exit and saw the scene outside.

This is a dark alley, even more cramped than the alleys of the earthly world, because the alleys on the ground can still see a narrow line of sky overhead, but this is a dungeon, and there is a dark dome overhead, although the dome is higher than the house, but it is also quite limited.

The dome here does not look like a natural cavern, but has been artificially reinforced, and traces of the steel beams can be seen, dense like cobwebs and extending in all directions, and there is no end in sight, and many light sources that have been maintained by arcane beings hang under the steel frame.

The dangers of arcane art are preached on the ground, but there is no psychological barrier to use them underground.

Qi Xuansu walked out of the alley, and a huge noise poured towards Qi Xuansu like splashing water.

It's a busy city.

All kinds of vendors, all kinds of pedestrians, there is no shortage of inns, pubs, prostitution houses, casinos and other places.

Qi Xuansu only looked at it slightly, and then he roughly understood.

If the dungeon is compared to Yujing, then this is Taiqing City, Yujing is not noisy, many squares are quiet and scary, such as Taishang Fang, there are not a few people in the daytime, but Taiqing City is an exception.

This dungeon is anything but bustling, it's essentially a huge workshop, but there's always one or two places that still look like that.

It's a hassle-free.

Qi Xuansu left the alley and blended into the crowd.

There is a benefit to dungeons, and if they are not managed, they cannot be without

Heavenly, a lot of unseemly livelihoods and businesses that hinder moral decency will be carried out here. So there are also a lot of outlaws here, and Qi Xuansu's dress is not eye-catching.

Wu Niang appeared beside Qi Xuansu again and looked around: "This is the so-called dungeon, it looks like a large underground cave."

Qi Xuansu didn't speak, and walked aimlessly and casually.

The main purpose of his visit was to walk around and take a look and learn something, not to find out any confidential information.

The following day, Qi Xuansu played the role of a decent gentleman, Ducky van der Linde, and accompanied City Councilmember Josiah Stroney to St. Paul's Cathedral to listen to a private lecture by Archbishop Orville Swanson. On the other side, adventurer outlaw Hosea Matthews explores the dungeons of the Lower City, where he encounters underground factories filled with poison gas and wastewater, as well as workers and slaves who are seriously ill and dying.

There is also a slight difference between workers and slaves, who are mostly engaged in unskilled heavy physical labor without any protective measures, while workers are responsible for some technical work and have some simple protective measures, such as purifying masks that are better than nothing. The bazaars and other places of trade were supported by workers, who had a salary and a certain degree of freedom, and were even allowed to leave the lower town, while slaves had nothing.

Maybe it's time to take a look at the underwater city.

Qi Xuansu thought so, and the next day he was still wandering around the dungeon.

At that moment, the silence was broken by the sound of bells, the shaking lights tore apart the darkness, and a splendid four-wheeled carriage with kerosene lamps and bells sped by. Unlike on the ground, horse-drawn carriages are very rare in dungeons, and people who can use them usually mean status and status.

"Looking for you." Wu Niang appeared beside Qi Xuansu, her hands behind her head, and her wide sleeves slid down, revealing her two forearms.

Qi Xuansu said, "I didn't do anything, so I'm being targeted?"

Pseudo-immortals will be targeted, which seems unreasonable, but it is actually very reasonable. Qi Xuansu did not hide or move around, that is, if ordinary people walked on the street, ordinary people in the dungeon could see Qi Xuansu, and those who had a heart could naturally grasp Qi Xuansu's whereabouts and report it to some local snakes.

Of course, this is Qi Xuansu's intention, or that sentence, he is not high-level to spy on intelligence, and he can only understand some more real situations by being down-to-earth, which is also one of the reasons why big names prefer private interviews with Weifu.

Qi Xuansu stood in place and waited.

Sure enough, the carriage stopped beside Qi Xuansu.

The door opened, and from the carriage stepped a gentleman, a snow-white shirt, a black tuxedo, a delicate bow tie, leather shoes that could illuminate the figure, spotless white gloves, gold-rimmed glasses, meticulous white hair, deep nasolabial folds, and a personable demeanor that did not fit in with the entire dungeon.

Such people should be in Midtown, not Downtown.

Qi Xuansu pretended to hold down the handle of the handcuff on his waist and put on a vigilant posture: "Who are you?"

Wu Niang clasped her hands to her chest and said, "Pretending to be quite like that."

Unless this old gentleman is the patriarch of the Steam Gospel, Qi Xuansu is confident that he will fight, if the patriarch is in person, he doesn't even need to be a patriarch, and if he is a cardinal, a small fire gun will not help.

However, Qi Xuansu still played his own role very well, an adventurer outlaw.

"I'm a steward." The old gentleman introduced himself briefly, "I have come to invite your Excellency to his mansion by order of my master."

Qi Xuansu asked, "Do I know your master?"

Wu Niang said, "Do you still need to ask? It must be one of the four gang leaders, who else can use this kind of carriage and butler? Among the four gang leaders, the beggar king can be ruled out, the beggar is completely incompatible with this kind of housekeeper, and the beggar king should behave more down-to-earth and win people's hearts. The butcher and the hound are not very compatible, these two should be the type of fierce and murderous people. But the baron, a gang leader also wants to get a noble title, vassal elegance, it seems more suitable."

Of course, Qi Xuansu understood this truth, but he still had to pretend: "Your master is one of the four 'respected gentlemen?'

"Yes." The old butler stopped pretending, "My master is none other than 'Baron, one of the four gentlemen who rule the lower city, will your Excellency accept my master's invitation?"

Qi Xuansu showed hesitation and hesitation, as if he was entangled in his heart, had the intention to refuse, and was afraid of the baron's reputation, and finally he had to bow his head under the roof: "It's an honor."

The old butler made a "please" gesture.

Qi Xuansu got into the carriage, the door was closed, and there was a low-hanging curtain, which was suddenly isolated from the outside and couldn't see where to go.

Wu Niang appeared opposite Qi Xuansu, and put her hands on the table between the two: "Let's take this baron first, burn him to ashes, and then burn the other three, leaving no one."

Qi Xuansu said, "You're a little too extreme."

Wu Niang was surprised: "Extreme? I learned it all from them."

Qi Xuansu no longer cares about Wu Niang.

He found that the women of Daomen are wonderful, Qi Niang, Xiao Yin, and Wu Niang, each with their own characteristics, greedy for money, stingy, greedy for play, and like to burn to ashes.

The carriage walked for more than an hour, and after turning many streets and alleys, it finally stopped.

There is only one typical aristocratic residence with a courtyard and the main body is a two-story spire building. It's just that the underground world is not suitable for green grass growth, and the courtyard is planted with black night dew grass, coupled with the dark environment around it, it can only be lit by lights, which is very gloomy, like a vampire mansion in the script.

Qi Xuansu stepped out of the carriage and followed the butler into the courtyard.

There were a lot of gang members who were obviously not good, but they were very afraid of the butler and did not make any moves.

The two came to the hall of the second-floor building, and when they raised their eyes, they could see a graceful white-haired old man standing on the second floor, overlooking the hall.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the old man's face.

How can it be so similar?

Not with the statue of Qi Xuansu, of course, but with the image of Hosea Matthews.

The old man introduced himself, "Welcome to my mansion, I am a baron, you can also call me Ramon."
