It's all this time, why is the ship of the Roche Chamber of Commerce still coming?

Qiu Shaohu sensed the suspicion, quietly felt out of the room, and walked towards the location of the ship.

On the port wharf, there are many boxes of goods, which naturally become an excellent hiding spot.

Qiu Shaohu hid behind and watched as the porters moved the things on the ship to the dock, and each box carried the unique number of the transport.

Qiu Shaohu took out the clairvoyant mirror, and those subtle numbers were immediately close at hand, and he carefully checked these numbers, and found that they could match the goods list records left in the hut before.

A day ago, the city shipping department received the news that the Roche Chamber of Commerce would deliver a shipload of goods that night, which was all recorded.

But for some reason, Qiu Shaohu always felt that it was not so simple.

You must know that he is still under the influence of "Taishangji", and the development of many things will unconsciously lean towards him.

This is a hassle in most cases, but sometimes, it can lead to some surprises.

When the porters were all busy and began to return to the boat to rest, Qiu Shaohu found that there was another boat behind the boat of the Luo Chamber of Commerce.

The ship was a broken ship, with a leaky bottom, towed by the previous one, barely docked at the dock, and in urgent need of repair.

But why did the Roche Chamber of Commerce bring a broken ship over?

The city envoy is taxed at the port according to the number of ships, and for each additional ship, the chamber of commerce has to pay an extra tax when it leaves the port, which is completely more than worth the loss.

If it is said that he is reluctant to carry the goods of the two ships, but just now the porter has obviously only removed things from the intact ship, and the broken ship is completely empty.

Qiu Shaohu vaguely had a guess, so he took advantage of the fact that everyone on the boat was going to rest, and walked directly in the direction of the boat.

In the darkness, his figure was like a shadow, flashing from the road, almost imperceptible.

In a few moments, he was beside the wrecked ship.

Seeing that the whole ship had a big hole in the side of the ship, it did not damage the keel of the hull, and there was still the value of repair, so it was also towed to the port.

The big hole was just enough for one person to go along, and Qiu Shaohu went directly into the cabin from here, and in the dark cabin, a train of cargo boxes was neatly placed on the side of the hole.

stepped forward and lifted the lid of a cargo box, Qiu Shaohu saw that it was full of sand and gravel, as if it was specially used to ballast the warehouse.

It is not surprising that ships traveling by sea generally deliberately put some heavy objects on the bottom of the cabin in order to reduce turbulence.

But......

Qiu Shaohu felt strange, why did they only put it on one side? Aren't you afraid that the center of gravity will deflect and the broken ship will sink completely?

"Click......" A series of footsteps were heard, and it seemed that someone from the upper cabin was about to come here.

Qiu Shaohu thought about dodging first, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw that a figure also appeared in front of another box not far away.

They all happened to appear at the same time and saw each other.

Qiu Shaohu was taken aback, and the reason for his surprise was not that he had seen someone else here, but that the other party was very surprised to see him first.

This proves that this man is not a person in the cabin, but has come in from the outside, just like him.

The footsteps were getting closer, and the man on the other side was about to scream.

At the last moment, Qiu Shaohu pounced, pressed the other party to the ground, and blocked his mouth with his arm.

Of course, he didn't forget to pull out a knife and put it against the other party's eyebrows. The sharp coolness instantly sobered him up, and he couldn't even make a "hmm" sound immediately.

He looked at Qiu Shaohu's bright yellow eyes, and only felt that the cold emanated from the bottom of his heart to his bones, and it was a complete fear of this wolf-like man.

"Squeak-" The upper and lower partitions leading to the cabin suddenly opened, and down the stairs, a lantern was carried down the steps by a man's hand.

Qiu Shaohu and the man were lying on the ground, and there was something else in the low position as a shelter, and they could hardly be seen in the dimness.

But if there is more than one person on the other side, and they wander and search carefully, they will definitely not be able to escape.

Luckily, the man only stood on the steps with the lantern and took a cursory glance before opening the partition and returning to the upper floor.

Listening to the footsteps getting farther and farther away, Qiu Shaohu breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking down at the frightened person who was pressed under him, Qiu Shaohu lowered his voice and said to him: "I let go of you, you are not allowed to scream, understand?" ”

The other party blinked frantically.

Qiu Shaohu let go of his neck and pressed him, and as soon as the person was relieved, he immediately crawled back a few steps frantically, deliberately distanced himself from Qiu Shaohu, and only then took a few deep breaths, and said to Qiu Shaohu in a panic: "I...... I'm Luan Wen from the City Boss Division...... Who are you, how dare you trespass here......"

"Trespassing is too ugly, but this time, I'm actually with you for the same purpose." Qiu Shaohu said: "You have been investigating the smuggling recently. ”

Luan Wen was stunned.

Qiu Shaohu looked at his expression and knew that he had guessed correctly, this Luan Wen also felt that this broken ship had a mystery and would come to investigate, but he didn't expect to meet him again.

Qiu Shaohu said: "You have repeatedly checked the list of goods entering and leaving the port, and found that there is no omission, but you can always find smuggled goods on the market. You broke your head and didn't think about it, did you? ”

"You...... How do you know this? Luan Wen said, "Are you ...... Looked at the records of the city's shipper? Those are the secrets of the city's ship, and they can't be ......."

"Leaving aside the problems on the list, how the goods sneak into the port is a big problem. It stands to reason that there can be no mistakes in the way of goods circulation. But what if, in a place that everyone didn't expect, those smuggled goods have been smuggled in? ”

Qiu Shaohu's words were amazing.

"It can't be!" Luan Wen categorically vetoed, "All goods entering the port must be strictly guarded by the City Shipping Department, even the personal belongings of merchants must be inspected at any time, there is no way not to notice." ”。

Qiu Shaohu didn't answer and walked to the other side of the cabin.

This is right in front of the breach, and the floor under the cabin is reinforced, and it looks extraordinarily thick.

Seeing Luan Wen coming over for some reason, Qiu Shaohu suddenly said, "How big is this ship?" ”

"The deck is about a hundred paces long and fifty paces wide, the usual size of a cargo ship." Luan Wen knows these things well.

"How many steps did you take when you came from the other side?" Qiu Shaohu asked.

Luan Wen was stunned.

He had just walked over, and it was only twenty paces in total. Even if the bottom of the ship is large and small, the bottom compartment of the average cargo ship should be about thirty steps wide, how can it be so narrow?

Qiu Shaohu used his own actions to answer his doubts.

He pulled out the goose feather knife and stabbed it directly into the bulkhead in front of him.

It stands to reason that when pierced into the sealed wooden cabin, there should be a feeling of broken texture. But Qiu Shaohu's sense of touch told him that the feeling of the knife piercing was heavy, as if it had been pierced into a stone.

The handle of the knife rotated, and a gap opened in the bulkhead, and immediately behind the heavy wood came a strange fragrance.

"The smell of sandalwood!" Luan Wen was excited, immediately stepped forward to check, reached out and touched it, and said in disbelief: "It's so thick...... So deep! Such a large board is a sandalwood giant wood that is more than 100 years old! ”

They hid this precious timber in the planks, and because the weight limit could only be hidden on one side, the other side had to be counterweighted with ballast stones.

At the same time, because the bulkhead is deliberately thickened to hide things, the size of the bottom cabin should be much smaller.

At the same time, in order to avoid people's eyes, the Roche Chamber of Commerce built it into a broken ship and dragged it into the port, and then took down the sandalwood when repairing the ship, and no one cared about the wood removed from a broken ship.

It's just that there's something else besides that.

Qiu Shaohu suddenly felt a stirring in his pocket.

He had sealed the tumbler and put it inside, but suddenly there was a change again.

It's like there's something echoing it.

"Could it be ......" Qiu Shaohu cautiously groped among the giant trees, and after a while, he took out something from inside.

A black insect egg, which has not yet hatched, but has been carved with Gu patterns on it.

Worm Gu in the resting place!

Qiu Shaohu never expected that he would find traces of the resting place in this way.

I thought that it was Zhenkang Divine Palace that was connected with the Luo Chamber of Commerce, but even the resting place appeared nearby.

Just a coincidence?

"Whoa!"

The sound of the bow breaking waves lingered in the harbor.

It wasn't their ship, there was another ship in Chaomen Harbor that had already left the port and sailed into the sea.

Qiu Shaohu immediately rushed out and saw that the original Luo Chamber of Commerce had already sailed far away.

"How can they leave!" Luan Wen was shocked, "The records of the port have not been left yet, and it stands to reason that they are not allowed to leave without permission!" ”

Hearing Luan Wen say this, Qiu Shaohu suddenly had a bad guess.

I'm afraid that the people of the resting place are on that ship, and have already gone out of the harbor to find the remains of the caves!

……

"Calm down, relax, just close your eyes."

Dusty sat down in front of his head and said, "Just believe me." ”

"Dao Chief, I don't dare to close my eyes." The man lying on the bed laughed miserably and said, "As soon as I closed my eyes, those ghosts immediately followed one after another, and the previous Taoist chief was not cured. ”

"Don't worry, his methods are useful, it's just not time yet, you just have to trust me." Meng Chen whispered softly, "He is my junior brother, he promised to help you, and I will definitely do it." ”

The inhabitants of this place have been plagued by nightmares all this time, which is not a normal thing, and it just so happens that the spirit has appeared here, and there must be something else hidden in it.

Meng Chen guessed that these people were probably witnessing something they shouldn't be seeing, and if they could sneak into their consciousness and discover the source of their nightmares, they should also be able to discover something related to the spiritual truth.

But the previous residents, although they had improved with the help of Dust, had nothing to gain from their subconscious, except for the last man, Jiang Fu, and his whole family hoped that Dusty could also help him relieve his worries.

Under the watchful eyes of the other disciples of Forgetless Island, Meng Chen took out his own "Cloud Travel Order" - this was their permission to go out, and after leaving Forgetless Island, their spells would be imprisoned, and they could only use the Cloud Tour Order to cast them freely.

A puff of smoke and dust appeared on the cloud travel order, drifting into Jiang Fu's consciousness, and in the expectant eyes of the other relatives of this family, he finally fell asleep.

At the same time, Meng Chen also sneaked into Jiang Fu's consciousness together, as if he was asleep, to feel everything that this person had experienced in his memory.

All around the consciousness was darkness, and the clarity of the spiritual platform was obscured. Meng Chen knew that it was because of these blindings that Jiang Fu had constant nightmares.

But he still wanted to know where it all came from, so he continued to dig deeper.

Visiting in other people's minds may seem like swimming in the sea, but in fact it is dangerous. Consciousness is a free world that belongs to oneself, and will not allow others to set foot at will, and once discovered, it will be completely expelled.

It is also why Meng Chen must first let Jiang Fu fall asleep before casting spells, so as to reduce the resistance of other people's consciousness to himself.

After a moment, the dusty exploration stopped.

He found himself in circles, no matter how deep he went, it was all in vain.

Unless the other party deliberately hides it, this is simply impossible.

However, when people are sleeping, they do not drive their consciousness to act in a way that is clearly inclined.

Unless......

"He's been hinted at?" Meng Chen thought of this possibility.

People are not easily swayed by their thoughts, but they are easily led by hints into other thoughts.

Realizing this, Meng Chen suddenly raised his hand, and a light appeared in his fingertips, instantly illuminating the entire world of consciousness.

This is very easy to wake up Jiang Fu, but if you want to know what hints the other party has planted, there is only one way.

Under the light, all darkness is hidden, and the point where the dust sees those black shadows shrinking at the top is the source of all hints.

And there, is the prototype of a mask.

"Zhenkang Shrine!" Meng Chen suddenly woke up.

The mask shattered in an instant, and the entire world of consciousness turned upside down.

Meng Chen saw that the clear scenes around him were turned into fragments one after another......

"Senior brother? Brother! Fu Xun shouted loudly, woke up Meng Chen, and said anxiously: "This person suddenly trembled and didn't stop, he ...... You okay? ”

Meng Chen saw Jiang Fu's whole body twitching, and his family was so frightened that it was not easy for him to settle down.

Meng Chen said: "Calm, he's fine, it's just that he suddenly received some stimulation, and it's good to wake up." Just ......"

He just forced his composure in front of his junior brother, and he didn't know whether to say it or not, Jiang Fu had a small memory and couldn't come back. And that was exactly what he wanted to know about the spiritual truth.

What exactly did Zhenkang Jingu do to these people? Why do you have to be wary of someone prying into that memory?

"What about us?" The other junior asked thoughtfully.

"Go to Chaomen Port!" Dusty and immediately decided.

From the fragments of the last memory, although it was only a skimm, it was clear that Lingdi was alone and followed the Zhenkang Shrine to the vicinity of the port......
