Chapter 87: Shovel Gate, Means!
The ghost town is an alliance of 36 small gangs, and many of these gangs do not enter the stream, such as the shovel gate for digging soil, the Stygian Valley Gate for tomb robbery, the Xiao Li Gate for theft and fraud, the beast gang that specializes in selling livestock, and the Three Immortals Temple that helps people drive away ghosts and cure madness, etc. The alliance formed by these small gangs didn't dare to make a name too loud, so they called a small alliance of Southeast Ghost Dao.
The ghost town is a dark market jointly operated by the 36 gangs, and there are no less than 3,000 people who come and go to the underworld every day. Anything that has been stolen by a thief can be bought and sold on the street here. It is not uncommon to buy and sell slaves, hire evil people, kill and kidnap them, and so on.
Luo Fan was dressed in black and masked, and rode a horse to the entrance of the ghost town.
At the entrance of the ghost town, there are hundreds of demons in black and white robes and ghost masks to watch over them. Seeing a fast horse rushing forward, the group immediately pulled up a wooden fence to block the way.
Luofan came to the front, and Lerma stopped.
The group of demons was at the head of the group, wearing a demon mask. Dressed in black, with a demon pestle in one hand, a long iron fork in the other, a peachwood sword on his back, and a gossip mirror hanging from his waist, he looks like a ghost and a nondescript.
The evil ghost looked at Luofan, jumped with his hands and feet, and let out a devilish cry: "The sky is open, and the immortal enters." Open the door, ghost out! It's a fairy, it's a ghost! It's a guest, it's an enemy! ”
This is the cut of Hades' ghost town, but whoever can say it is the one who is in their alliance. Otherwise, you have to explain the details, pay the fee, and be led to the entrance. And this incision is changed every month, and it is not a person in the door, so naturally I don't know.
Luofan was pressed for time, and he didn't want to delay, so he directly took out a stack of silver tickets and threw them into the air: "Lao Tzu is the God of Wealth!" ”
Seeing those silver tickets, all of them frantically scramble. Luofan is riding a horse and jumping in.
Ye Si followed behind, and when he saw Luo Fan entering the ghost town of Hades, he frowned and said: "This is a vicious place, I am a prince of the dynasty, and my identity is too dazzling!" I don't have his light skills, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist when I go in. Let's wait for him to come out. ”
Luo Fan ran wildly all the way, regardless of the crowd on the street, and went straight to the foot of Tulin Mountain, where the shovel gate was located.
When they came to the foot of Tulin Mountain, the horses were already foaming at the mouth of the country and panting. I knew that this horse would be useless when I went back. Luo Fan spent another money to change a fast horse at the inn at the foot of the mountain.
When I came to the shovel gate, I took a look in front of the mountain gate. There are tall wooden fences on all sides, and there are more than a dozen civil lookouts inside, which are heavily guarded inside and outside, and the guards are tight. It's not surprising that people from the underworld often come to uninvited guests, so naturally they should be more vigilant.
Seeing that outsiders were coming, several disciples dressed in coarse linen clothes stepped forward to interrogate. Luo Fan still uses the title of "Big Thief King Kong Monkey", worshipping 1,000 taels of gold to see Li Zijiao, the owner of the shovel gate. It is rare to see such a big silver ticket in this kind of rammed earth digging small sect. Knowing that a distinguished guest was coming, he hurried to report. After a short time, he respectfully invited Luofan in.
Luofan was led to the door, and hundreds of similar-looking earthen houses were scattered all over the way. There are no signs or signs around these earthen houses. If it weren't for the extraordinary eyesight, it would really be like entering a labyrinth. The heart said that it is not a loss to be a master of playing with soil, and this earthen house can also be built into a palace.
And the disciples under the shovel sect are not rich and noble, most of them are coarse linen clothes, and the shovel is not around the waist, and they look poor and sour. Come to think of it, if you can join the shovel door to learn the ability to dig holes, how many rich children can there be. Most of the disciples who are training in several places are practicing darts and short blades, and they are also proficient in assassination.
Come to a compound at the back. Not as good as the earthen house outside, this is a magnificent two-story mahogany building. Walking into the lobby, there is a bright red carpet, with magnificent columns and neat blue bricks. Li Zijiao, the owner of the shovel gate, sat on the wooden collapse covered by tiger skin, holding two iron bumps in his hands, which was also a mighty momentum!
Seeing the distinguished guests coming to the hall, Li Zijiao straddled the tiger skin and only glanced at it. This can also be regarded as a routine of the rivers and lakes, first give the guests who come to the door a coercion, and put on the style of their own owner. This can be regarded as a guest not to oppress the master.
Luo Fan also took a look, this old man was in his fifties, short and fat, with a big black beard, wearing a yellow silk robe, stepping on a pair of golden brocade boots, and a steel shovel pinned to his waist! Xin said that this old man was dressed very well, but no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a landowner in the village. Sure enough, digging tunnels is not as temperamental as flying in the sky.
The two sides looked at each other, and Li Zijiao drank majestically: "The shovel levels the world, and the rivers and lakes are open!" Under the shovel door owner Li Zijiao! I don't know what your name is? What are you doing here? ”
Luo Fan hugged his fists and said: "Jianghu junior, little thief King Kong monkey." This time, I came here to ask my seniors to help me with something important. If the master is willing to solve the problem, there will be a lot of thanks. ”
Li Zijiao frowned, what the rivers and lakes are most afraid of is simple things. If it's really simple, can it be a thousand taels of silver in one shot? His eyes rolled, he played with the iron bump in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said lightly: "But it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”
Luofan: "A friend of mine is getting married today." The sedan chair passed by the gate of Jianguan, but was caught by the flower thief Hong Menglang in the ground! The red dream lang is used to flying, but this time he is drilling holes. The predecessors are the overlords of the soil, and they should know this way. I don't know if I can help? ”
Li Zijiao's heart tightened, and he said that it was for this matter! After a few more glances at Luofan, he already suspected Luofan's identity. The great thief King Kong Monkey has heard of it, but no one knows what it looks like. If this kid can come to investigate this case, it should be either the arrest of the Tiandu Dynasty, or a friend of the Jianguan Ji family!
Li Zijiao's face was gloomy, and he sat back on the tiger skin couch, his attitude was no longer as polite as before.
straightened his face and said indifferently: "Oh! Red Menglang was arrested? What does this have to do with my shovel door. The shovel door only moves mountains and digs the soil, and nothing else is involved! Please come back! ”
Seeing that Li Zijiao's face changed, Luo Fan twisted up a huge silver ticket of 10,000 taels with his fingers, and looked calm: "This is a silver ticket of 10,000 taels, as long as the door owner says a word, he will give it to the door owner to drink tea!" The rules of the rivers and lakes, the word of righteousness comes first. For the flower thief, whether it is the underworld or the white way, it is very spitting, and there is no need to cover up the master of the door, right? If I can tell the clues, I will have double the gift after I rescue my friend! Please don't have to help me. ”
Li Zijiao stared at the 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and his hands tightened! I didn't expect this young man to be so arrogant, and he raised his hand to get 10,000 taels of silver tickets! This 10,000 taels is enough for them to earn a few years from the shovel door! Such a big stroke, if it is not the Ji family of the Jianguan giant, who else can it be!
However, what he does with the shovel door is the business of digging the wall and chamfering. If he betrays Hongmenglang, who will dare to do things with his shovel door in the future. Moreover, Hongmenglang has made a light effort, if he finds trouble with himself later, he is afraid that it will not be easy to bear. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Red Menglang is a real villain!
After some thought, Li Zijiao made up his mind. Flicking his sleeves and saying angrily: "Hmm! The old man is old and has no ability to help you! I don't want to accompany you, please! ”
Seeing that Li Zijiao was so ignorant, Luo Fan's face turned cold, and he threatened: "Oh, the predecessors are really so ruthless. Then I won't cover it up, you know that Hongmenglang robbed the daughter-in-law of the Ji family, and you dare to cover it up. It seems that compared to the Ji family, you are more afraid of the thief of Hongmenglang. In this way, you are not afraid that the 50,000 swordsmen of the Sword Pass will raze your shovel gate to the ground! ”
Li Zi slapped the couch arrogantly, relying on the protection of the Black and White Alliance, and was not afraid of the Tiandu Dynasty. Holding the iron gall, he pointed at Luo Fan and shouted: "Hmph! Threaten me! Do you think my shovel door is so easy to be handled? If you dare to be presumptuous, be careful that you don't leave! ! ”
Seeing that Li Zijiao, the old man, was so stupid. Luo Fan can't be forced, for fear that if he really makes a move, he will delay the big thing of saving people. Xindao, since Li Zijiao didn't help, he could only get information from his apprentice. With a cold snort, he turned to leave.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I was greeted by a girl in a long pink dress, wearing a silver hoop and long hair, who was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.
When the girl saw Luofan, she casually asked, "Daddy!" Who is this? ”
Hearing that this woman was Li Zijiao's daughter, Luo Fan's eyes were ruthless, and he held the woman hostage in his hand!
Li Zijiao was startled, jumped up and pointed at Luo Fan and scolded: "What do you want to do?" The little beast dares to spread wild in the master's territory, you don't want to live! ”
Luo Fan hijacked Li Zijiao's daughter and quickly hid by the wall in the courtyard. When the disciples saw that the young lady was arrested, they hurriedly surrounded them with knives and shovels!
Li Zijiao chased after him to the courtyard and shouted angrily: "Little bastard, let my daughter go, otherwise I will chop you into meat sauce!" ”
Luo Fan said coldly disdainfully: "Hmph! If you don't save you when you die, then I want to see if you want to save your own daughter! ”
After that, Luo Fan took out a dagger and stabbed the little girl twice in the chest, and immediately the blood stained the pink skirt red.
The little girl was stabbed and couldn't help crying: "Daddy, help!" Daddy save me! ”
Li Zi's arrogant face was hideous, and the iron courage in his hand creaked, but he didn't speak for a while.
Seeing that Li Zijiao was silent, Luo Fan's cold eyes were cruel, and he deliberately excitedly said: "It seems that in the heart of the master of the Li Sect, the life of the flower thief is more precious than his own daughter." In this way, I will cut her face with this knife! ”
