"Many people in the cloud building have such a smell." Li Xiang said: "In order to cover up, they all wear very strong sachets......"

It's hard to understand what is the purpose of such a painstaking cloud building.

Xun Qing was about to speak, but Li Bai noticed that Li Xiang was pulling his sleeve, his ears moved slightly, and his expression suddenly turned grim, covering Xun Qing's mouth, dragging the two of them to squat and hide in the flowers.

Immediately after, two figures were heard emerging from the wrong path behind them. If it weren't for Li Xiang's reminder, I'm afraid I would have bumped into it head-on.

It was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, and a sweaty steward who followed behind them, walked past them and walked straight into the depths of the darkness.

Li Bai's eyes were attracted by the person walking in front.

Season Dedication!

It's just that, unlike the grace and kindness an hour ago, the upright face at this moment is full of hideousness.

Without thinking, Li Bai tiptoed to follow.

"I can't do such a trivial thing, do I raise you waste for decoration! was easily mixed in by two thieves, and the account book was also read!

That guy called Kunlun Mole blows his swordsmanship like he is unparalleled in the world, but he eats so much every day, it's completely a rice bucket!. ”

Behind him, the steward kept nodding his head and bowing, not daring to disobey the slightest.

The two walked until they walked to a huge door, and Ji Xian stopped, brushed his sleeves and scolded angrily: "Okay, go back to work!" If you can't bring back the bodies of those two thieves, bring back your heads!

Also, Bo Qingjun's goods will be sent out today, immediately! ”

The steward nodded in a panic and hurried away with a team of skilled swordsmen.

Only Ji Xian disappeared into the darkness behind the iron gate.

After a long time, Li Bai retracted his gaze and looked behind him, only to see Xun Qing's gloomy expression and Li Xiang's uneasy look.

"Would you like to go in and have a look?"

He asked softly.

In normal times, Li Bai would not have too many concerns. No matter what happens, he always believes that he has what it takes. But now it was different, he had two people here who had to be protected.

They can't be dragged into the pit by their own minds.

"It's not like you to ask for other people's opinions."

Xun Qing shook his head indifferently and sighed: "It's all here...... If I don't figure out what tricks that guy Ji Xian is playing, I'm definitely not going to leave.

What about Li Xiang? Waiting here for us to come back? ”

"I'm with you."

Unexpectedly, the blind boy holding the pipa hesitated, then bit his lip and said, "If you can't come back, I won't be able to get out here alone." ”

"Then follow me."

The grassroots at the corner of Li Bai's mouth raised the arc of his smile, and drew his sword out of its sheath. "Let's see what the hell that guy is up to!"

In the darkness behind the door seemed to be a huge space, silent at the moment.

Only a faint glimmer of light leaked through the crack in the distant door, illuminating the faint scene, the silhouette of countless behemoths.

The huge lifting arm, the delicate assembly table, and even all kinds of production tools are like a large-scale machine workshop.

But this is also a bit too advanced.

Even if he doesn't know much about the organs, in Li Bai's opinion, there are many things in it, and I am afraid that the equipment in Xun Qing's house will not be able to catch up!

On top of the long tables, there were all kinds of parts and parts of the Trap Beast, but they didn't look like they were assembled, but like ...... Dismantling in general!

At this moment, the mechanical workshop of Nuoda is not a place where the trap beast is born, but more like a place where the trap beast is divided.

Strangely, most of the tools and equipment were still in place, and some of the mechanisms were still running, continuing to operate in a dull and monotonous manner, as if they were still operating normally at the last moment.

But at this moment, no one saw it.

Not even the guards they should have......

But at the end of the day, why build a machine workshop under the Cloud Tower?

"Organ...... Smuggle? ”

Xun Qing was stunned and muttered.

It is unimaginable that the entire Chang'an's famous gold grottoes and the extravagant Yunjian Building are just a disguise set by Ji Xian. And the real cornucopia is hidden in this shady machine workshop under the Cloud Tower!

Ji Xian, that guy, is secretly smuggling machine beasts outside of Chang'an!

This is a profitable 'good business'!

Even much more profitable than smuggling oil, salt, and tea!

In order to maintain the monopoly of its own technology, all the exported organ products are controlled by Yu Hengsi, the imperial court agency in charge of all organs and facilities in Chang'an, and strictly guard against it, eliminating all possibilities of snooping technology, and even every organ core is registered in the register, and private transfer is prohibited.

And all registered agency divisions are the focus of monitoring, and almost every ten years they have to submit their own status descriptions and product catalogs to Yu Hengsi.

And even under such high-pressure control, agency smuggling is still the only choice to get rich overnight. Once transported out of the feudal town, the value of the trap beasts that could be seen everywhere in Chang'an City immediately increased by more than a hundred times, and I don't know how many outlaws flocked to it.

But that's just a small fight.

There is simply no comparison to the scale in front of them.

In front of Xun Qing's eyes, there were hundreds of beasts, woods, oxen, and horses, the most common transportation organs...... With his life of poverty for many years, he couldn't imagine what kind of sky-high price these institutions could sell in the ghost market outside Chang'an.

As a mechanic, he could even imagine the whole process, in this workshop, how all the trap beasts had undergone an unrecognizable transformation, encapsulated into boxes, hid in a mountain of goods through the operation of the ghost market, and traveled in all directions by various means, riding the rail car......

Among them, there is a batch of goods that are more unlucky, and unfortunately they are exposed in front of Honglu Temple.

As a result, the smugglers jumped over the wall in a hurry, making a mechanic who had just returned to Chang'an a hapless hostage and was rescued by another swordsman who came up to steal alcohol and drink in a pickpocket.

It just so happened that the dog with the cheap hand actually touched his own organ core from the smuggler......

At that moment, all the chaotic clues were finally in one place.

Tight-fitting.

There are no more mysteries.

"He's trying to harm us, just because we're messing with his good deeds?"

Xun Qing muttered to herself, incredulous.

Just because of this, to put them to death, not to hesitate to involve an innocent beggar in it, to kill them with indifference?

Just because of the thought of such a ridiculous reason, I almost ran out of breath.

When he lowered his head, finally, facing the purple and blue face on the ground that was bleeding from seven orifices, in the dimness, he could see his reflection in the pupils that had lost their brilliance.

I also saw my own face, a little distorted by horror.

Corpse!

He subconsciously exclaimed, but was covered by Li Bai.

"Calm down—"

Li Bai took out the fire lead, rubbed the gears, and a little fire swept through the darkness, and soon, it was extinguished with the closing of the bracket.

A fleeting light illuminates the corpses that litter the workshop.

There was still a dying despair on those hideous faces that were bleeding from the seven orifices, and the cold reflection of them in the empty pupils was the intruder who didn't belong here.

It's as if the evil spirit wants to choose someone to devour.

"It's poison."

Li Bai said softly: "These people have all been poisoned......

He finally understood why there was not a single caretaker in such a secret workshop, not even an alarm. Because the original guards and the mechanics who worked here have been poisoned!

No one has escaped......

"For ...... Why? Xun Qing murmured sluggishly: "They, aren't they Ji Xian's subordinates?" But why...... Why ......"

"Who knows? There are too many reasons, Xun Qing. ”

Li Bai didn't know how to explain all this to the friend in front of him, and was silent for a long time.

From the clouds, to Chang'an, over the mountains, through the wilderness, across the rivers and streams, he met all kinds of people during this long journey.

There are not only benevolent people who do not forget to save the innocent even if they are in prison, but also villains who do not hesitate to betray their best friends and sell their blood relatives for the sake of a little profit.

"Xun Qing, there are all kinds of people in this world......"

He let out a long breath and sighed regretfully: "But some people can no longer be called 'people'. ”

Even a beast would not have done such a heinous deed.

Whether it is the dead in front of them, or the poor people who were sold to Yunjian Tower like Li Xiang, or ...... It's the beggar who just saw him and died because of it.

How many innocent skeletons are there in this huge maelstrom?

The teacher once told him to learn to accept the imperfections of the world, but he could not learn to look away in the face of the ugliness that filled the whole world.

Too much.

He had seen too many ugliness and mistakes, but only more than he had seen......

There were so many that he couldn't bear it for a moment.

"Xun Qing, take care of Li Township."

He whispered, "I'm going to correct a 'mistake.'" ”

At that moment, Li Bai lowered his eyes, clenched the hilt of the sword, and the jade pendant hanging on the long sword burst out with a faint howling sound, and the killing intent was hideous.

In this way, I passed the corpses that were desperate to death and could not be freed, and walked step by step to the deepest part of the workshop, the sealed door.

Draw your sword!

In the narrow room, Ji Xian was wandering anxiously.

Unlike those evil parties who should be complacent at this moment in the script, he seems to be full of fear, restless, and the vertical pupils of the demon seed are bloodshot.

Tormented in panic.

Until in the shadows, a hoarse voice was heard.

"You've kept me waiting too long, Ji Xian."

In the darkness, a fluttering and gloomy voice sounded: "Wu Yougong's patience, you have squandered too much!" ”

Ji Xian trembled all over, and then, he hunched his waist and bowed his head in fear: "Mr. Antlers, I have cleaned up all the finishing touches!"

Please give me a little more time, and in time, I will be able to recover Wang Yuan's lost waste!" ”

"No, Ji Xian, you're pretending to be clever and playing with fire and setting yourself on fire—"

Beyond the flickering firelight, the 'antlers' in the darkness sneered coldly: "You thought you could redeem your mistakes, but you made mistakes again and again.

The waste you sent out not only provoked Dali Temple, but also provoked the 'heavenly people' in the clouds.

You think you are rich and a little clever, everything in Chang'an City revolves around you, even if one day, Wu Yougong will bow down to you. ”

"I don't mean that way!"

Ji Xian's face turned pale, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, pointing to the sky and swearing to guarantee, "Please also have a public opinion!" ”

"Fear always makes people sober, doesn't it?"

Antlers sighed, "Unfortunately, you woke up too late from your big dream. I guess until now, you don't understand what you've done......"

In the surging shadows, the invisible messenger chuckled sarcastically:

"You don't even know who's outside your door—"

At that moment, a little lonely lamp burst out of a candle in horror, and the dim light rose.

The messenger of darkness has forsaken him.

Disappeared without a trace.

When Ji Xian turned his head suddenly, he saw that a crack suddenly appeared on the heavy iron door, followed by a second one, criss-crossing and forming a cross scar.

Steel crumbles in a wail.

And in the darkness behind the door, someone stepped on the sins he left behind, step by step, and walked towards him.

One step, one step at a time.

Ji Xian's complexion changed suddenly, and fierceness appeared in the beastly vertical pupils, like a desperate beast, choosing people and devouring them, "Who! ”

Li Baiba clicked the grass roots at the corner of his mouth and said slowly:

"Your—retribution."

A ray of iron light flew out of the sheath, tearing through the darkness, spreading straight forward, tearing through the bleak wind, passing through Ji Xian's body, and running backwards, until the turbulent candle flame was cut into two sections from the center.

It left a crack in the floor, the long table, and the wall.

Ji Xian's expression froze, and he only had time to let out a terrible scream. Immediately after, it was neatly cut into two, and a little residual light appeared under the dim candle flame.

It's like a bubble that has been punctured, and it disappears.

It wasn't the feeling of a slash at all, it looked like nothing......

In an instant, Li Bai stepped forward without thinking, the blade in his hand swept, following the guidance of instinct, and the blade of the sword left a straight trajectory from the air.

Immediately after, I saw that a blood flower bloomed out of thin air in the originally empty place.

A muffled grunt sounded, and then disappeared again, only a little bit of blood appeared on the ground out of thin air, stretching out into the darkness outside the door!

"Illusion!"

Li Bai never thought that this blood-rich villain would be the illusionist who had arranged countless bronze mirrors!

But even if it's an illusion, it shouldn't be able to block his two swords.

That guy ...... on him What's the matter?

In the workshop outside the door, a stumbling figure emerged, Ji Xian covered the huge crack on his face, and the crack in his chest that almost pierced his heart.

just looked back at him resentfully, and rushed outside without looking back.

"Get out of here!"

He kicked away the blind boy who was in front of him, and the figure disappeared again with difficulty, dissolving into the darkness.

The iron rod in Xun Qing's hand was empty, and he subconsciously chased in the direction where he disappeared, but he heard Li Xiang's shout: "He's in the south!" ”

Xun Qing turned around and swept around without thinking, only to hear a muffled snort, as if he had hit something, and a little bit of blood stained the iron rod.

Ji Xian's embarrassed back flashed from the air, and he used his hands and feet to crawl towards the door leading to the outside of the workshop, and his speed accelerated again!

"Whispering of the wind?"

Xun Qing's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the turquoise ring on Ji Xian's hand, he was immediately angry.

Ji Xian, this dog thing, even has such a treasure hidden on his body!

Those precious things that have been handed down on the King's Continent, the worldly treasures created by skilled craftsmen, under the arrangement of Jixia, the effects and functions of the top various strange things have been collected into a book, almost every one of them is a treasure that warriors, mages and even mechanics dream of.

One hundred and twelve products known as 'heavenly treasures'!

Among them, compared to many famous swords and murder weapons, the whisper of the wind is also a rare treasure. Able to hold up a shield for the wearer, resist the damage of surprise attacks, and save the life of the Assassins.

That magic shield actually topped Li Bai's two swords!

I hate that I haven't practiced any stick skills, otherwise I would have taken the opportunity of the broken magic shield just now to kill his dog!

But Li Bai's pursuit did not stagnate, seizing the momentary opportunity of Xun Qing's blocking, his figure had already risen into the air, stepping on the broken mechanism beasts displayed in the workshop all the way, and swooped down towards Ji Xian.

The blade that fell from the sky reflected the cold light, slashing down in a miserable roar, and the flawless blow was almost to the extreme, even if he couldn't see Ji Xian's vague figure clearly, he had already locked his only way!

Sensing the chill on his back, Ji Xian gritted his teeth, and the boots under his feet lit up with a glow, causing the speed of his death to skyrocket again.

The slashing blade tore through his outer robe and the same Heavenly Rank armor inside, leaving a deep scar on his back, and blood gushing out.

Li Bai frowned.

The whispers of the wind, the boots of speed, and the cloth armor known as the heavenly clothes......

How afraid of death is this bastard? He was equipped with so much equipment that was hard to buy.

Stimulated by death, Ji Xian struggled to escape, staggering in the strange sea of flowers without looking back.

I don't know what kind of mechanism he triggered, but a shrill siren sounded in the darkness, and the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard in the distance.

The swordsmen and dead soldiers who had been sent out by Ji Xian to handle the main road and search the Yunjian Tower finally arrived.

For a while, in the dimness, it was impossible to tell how many people there were, and I could only see the sharp blades in their hands and the pupils red with murderous intent.

Seeing that his subordinates finally arrived, Ji Xian finally had a smile on his face, and when he turned around, he looked at Li Bai who was chasing behind him, and his expression became extremely hideous.

"Kill him for me!"

He roared hoarsely: "Kill him for me!" Whoever can behead this bastard, I will reward you with a thousand! And the two dog mongrels in the back, don't forget it! Kill them all! ”

Before the words fell, someone rushed forward desperately, and then, the galloping figure froze, staggered past Li Bai, and fell to the ground.

Dead silence came suddenly.

Flying blood rose from the blade and fell.

In the darkness, only the calm voice of the sword-wielding boy came: "In Chang'an, am I considered 'legitimate defense'?" ”
