The stall owner walked into a dark tail box, and Shen Muzhou left a mark on the stone bricks before turning into the tail alley, so that Xiao Liu could find them

"Gone?" Lin Yanxi looked at Shen Muzhou a little nervously.

The stall owner disappeared after turning into the alley, and Shen Muzhou looked around, the light here was dim, and the range that could be seen was very limited.

"Are you looking for me?" The stall owner suddenly fell off the wall and stood in front of them.

At the same time, several little boys tumbled down behind the two of them.

These people looked to be about the same age as the stall owners, and they were all children as young as fifteen or sixteen.

Lin Yanxi looked back at the little boy standing behind her and said, "You guys are really in a group."

The stall owner took a long straw in his mouth and said, "What? Have you bought my rune paper?"

He stared at her beautiful face and recalled carefully, no, if such a good-looking woman came to buy rune paper, he must have an impression.

Lin Yanxi frowned and asked, "Who are you?" If you don't learn well at a young age, you will be deceived and deceitful."

When the stall owner heard this, he laughed, spit the straw in his mouth to the ground and said, "Little age? I see that you are not very old, what kind of youth are you pretending to be old."

Lin Yanxi was speechless by what he said, she really forgot that she was not yet as old as she was, and she was not much older than them.

Shen Muzhou directly took out the long sword, the blade was out of the body, and the blade of the sword pointed directly at the small stall owner, Rao is reaction speed was fast enough, he had already dodged the blade, but the broken hair on his forehead was still broken by the long sword and fell to the ground.

The stall owner looked at him in horror, knowing that he was invincible, "Run!"

As soon as these words came out, the children who surrounded them fled in all directions, and soon disappeared, leaving only the stall owner in place.

Lin Yanxi smiled and said, "It's still righteous."

The stall owner snorted and puffed his chest and said, "That's it, what are you coming at the master, don't embarrass my brother!"

As soon as he finished saying this, he threw a handful of lime out of his pocket, Shen Muzhou subconsciously dodged away, and the stall owner immediately took the opportunity to escape.

It's just that he hadn't taken two steps before he heard a voice behind him: "Sure!"

His body was fixed in place, his hands and feet stiff, and he did not obey the call, as if he were bound by an invisible bondage.

Lin Yanxi walked around to him, bent his eyebrows at Shen Muzhou with some excitement, his ruddy thin lips rose slightly, childish and delicate, revealing a refined beauty, which made people fascinated at a glance.

"Well, have I improved my talisman a lot?"

Shen Muzhou looked at her smug look, like a kitten's tail in the sky, and he also showed a hint of a smile, completely lacking the murderous aura just now.

"It's amazing."

Lin Yanxi got his affirmation, smiled even brighter, revealing a row of small white teeth.

The stall owner looked at her in shock and asked, "Are you a talisman master?" How is this possible? Brother Jiang said that the talisman master has disappeared in the moon, and there is no one in this world who knows how to do talismans."

Lin Yanxi asked, "Which Brother Jiang?"

The stall owner realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he immediately closed his mouth.

"You don't say? Then I'll try my newfound talisman." She pretended to start making mudras, and muttered, "It is said that this spell can make people break in half in an instant, and I don't know if it's really so powerful."

The stall owner said with a crying expression on his face, "Stop, stop, little aunt, I said, I can't do it!"

Lin Yanxi raised her eyebrows a few times, she calculated the time, and waved her big hand: "First untie the talisman for you, if you dare to run, I will kill you."

Shen Muzhou stood behind Lin Yanxi and said in a low voice, "It's better to wait for him to finish speaking before letting go."

Lin Yanxi's face was embarrassed, she beckoned to him, motioned for him to come over and said, "I, my talisman can only support half a pillar of incense now."

And when you use it once and want to use it again, you have to enter a waiting period, and the length of time between each spell depends on her state.

The stall owner squatted helplessly on the ground and muttered, "Where is it?"

Dare to run."

Even if there is no little girl, just that man's profound martial arts and swordsmanship, he can't run out, let alone a talisman.

"My name is Little Rock. It's orphans living on the streets, and there's an organization that they're going to take the little ones who are helpless, and they're all wearing black cloaks, and no one knows what they look like, because the people who see their faces are dead."

"They took my friend, in order to save my friend, I guess I fell on the street and was found by them, the black cloak took me away and locked me in a place, and put people in the middle with a formation, those who can survive will be taken to the next floor, and those who can't survive will die, but at least I was locked up there for about ten days, and no one can survive the formation in these ten days."

As Xiao Shi said this, the fresh lives that had fallen in front of him appeared in front of him one by one, and he clenched his fists, looking pained and helpless.

Lin Yanxi said hatefully, "It's the black cloak again! What the hell are these beasts trying to do?"

Little Stone raised his eyes to look at her and asked, "Do you know those people?"

Unanswered, Little Stone continued, "I didn't find my friend in that place, maybe he died, maybe he made it through the circle and went somewhere else, but I knew I had to escape. There I met a little boy who was terminally ill and dying, but because his brother was working for the Black Cloak, the Black Cloak had been hanging from him with the blood of a living man."

"I am the one who provided him with blood."

Xiao Shi said and pulled open his sleeves, and his arms were full of bloody scars, which was shocking.

"The little boy was very kind to me, he felt ashamed of me, he didn't want to hurt my life anymore to save himself, and then with his help I escaped, I wanted to go back to my old brother, but they were nowhere to be found, and I couldn't find any news of them."

"A fatherless child like us is like a street rat who dies and dies, and no one cares. I was weak because of the continuous blood collection, and when I was about to starve to death, I was taken by one and sold into slavery in a ghost town."

"At that time, the descendant of the Jiang family, Jiang Cong, had just migrated to this vicinity. Brother Jiang is a good person, I knew that I was dying, I begged him to save me, so he bought me, took me back to Jiang's house to take care of me, taught me a lot of skills, and told me the story of the talisman master."

Lin Yanxi said unhappily, "So, is this how you repay your cousin? Under the banner of Jiang's descendants, they will deceive and ruin the reputation of the talisman master."

Little Stone raised his little face to look at her, and two lines of hot tears had already flowed from his face, and under the dim candlelight, tears flowed with tears.

"Are you Brother Jiang's sister?"

"I'm deceiving people to protect myself, and besides, I only sell for ten cents for one rune paper, and it's only the price of two meat buns, but with this money, I can do a lot of things."

Lin Yanxi didn't speak, and listened to him continue.

"Brother Jiang is really good to me, and he is also very good to the people in the town, the poor people in the town don't know how many families he has helped over the years, and he also asked me to organize the orphans living on the streets in the town, and they can go to Jiang's house to eat every day, but they have to exchange labor for food, and they can also exchange schoolwork for food, and he is using these methods to teach these orphans skills.

"Some time ago, during the drought, so many wealthy merchants in the town only cared about self-protection, and the people had no water or food, so hungry that they could only gnaw leaves to live.

This is the first time that Lin Yanxi has learned about other people in the Jiang family, and they are such gentle, kind and charitable people, no wonder his mother always said that the descendants of the Jiang family are generous and benevolent.

She couldn't help but think of the old man she saw last night, was it really Jiang Cong as she guessed? Such a good person, what has he experienced, he has been tortured like that, and he can't tell that he should be in his prime at all.

"Some time ago, someone had been asking about Brother Jiang, and then they came to the door, and those people behaved strangely, they asked Brother Jiang to tell the whereabouts of a book, but they searched the house and couldn't find it. Brother Jiang said that those people had already left, and he asked me to help him deliver a few letters to an inn, and the innkeeper would bring the letters to Taifu's mansion."

"When I return from the letter, everyone in the house is dead, and Brother Jiang is gone."

Lin Yanxi looked at him in surprise, but the Taifu Mansion had never received any letters from the Jiang family, "Have you confirmed that the letter was sent?"

His expression was painful, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he was dyed with a hint of crying, "I watched the innkeeper accept the letter with my own eyes, and Brother Jiang said that the boss is from the Jiang family, and there will be no mistakes...... Actually, I don't want to cheat, but I need money to take care of the orphans who originally relied on Brother Jiang's relief, and I also need money to ask around about Brother Jiang's whereabouts."

Lin Yanxi handed over a piece of silk handkerchief and said, "Well, we will find Brother Jiang."

Xiao Shi hesitated to take her silk handkerchief, but the texture of this silk handkerchief was soft and smooth, and there was a faint fragrance, he carefully folded the silk handkerchief and put it in the placket, and wiped a handful of tears with his sleeve.

Shen Muzhou said to Lin Yanxi, "Let's go to Zhihai Tower first."

Lin Yanxi nodded, then untied a purse from his waist and handed it to the small stone, which was heavy inside.

"It's some silver, not much, but it's enough for you and those orphans to find a proper living. Don't sell fake things anymore, cheating money is cheating money, no matter how much money is two, once people go the wrong way and taste the sweetness, it will be difficult to get back on the right track, no matter how many good things you do, no matter how many orphans you save, you will never be able to make up for the people who are deceived by you today."

"If you don't know what you can do after taking the money, or if you have other difficulties, you can go to the Taifu Mansion in the capital to find me, my name is Lin Yanxi, and I am the second lady of the Taifu Mansion."

Xiao Shi took the money and looked at her stunned, these truths were only taught to him by Brother Jiang before, and no one cared if he was a good person after Brother Jiang died.

Shen Muzhou looked at him and looked at Lin Yanxi's eyes, and asked in a deep voice unhappily, "Are you familiar with ghost towns?"

"Of course, the young master is the child king here." Xiao Shi said this with a look of anger on his face.

Shen Muzhou asked, "Then do you know where Zhihai Tower is?"

Xiao Shi nodded and said, "I know, Zhihai Building is the largest trading center in the ghost city, but what is traded in the building is not objects, but all kinds of news. Everything in the world can be asked, and there is nothing that Zhihailou does not know."

Lin Yanxi said, "Then you can take us over."
