Chapter 90: The Purpose of the Secret Passage
"Hair falling from a child?" Tie Mian and Wu Neng were taken aback.
Shi Cheng nodded, he stared at the glass bottle in his hand intently, and an inexplicable sense of unease suddenly welled up in his heart.
"There is not the slightest aura on the hair, which means that the owner of the hair is not a cultivator." Shi Cheng's brain was spinning rapidly, "Judging from the quality of the hair, the owner of the hair is likely to be a child, and I still trust my judgment at this point...... However, even Xu Fengshi, who was carrying a talisman treasure, turned pale when he walked around the forbidden area, how did a child get to the waterfall...... Could it be that someone brought it over? ”
A bold conjecture appeared in Shi Cheng's heart, the owner of this strand of hair was kidnapped by the thieves who built the secret passage.
Thinking of this, Shi Cheng couldn't sit still, he really wanted to return to the small waterfall as soon as possible, dig three feet into the ground, and find out the true faces of those thieves in the secret passage and their secret plan in the Kenbin forbidden area, but reason told Shi Cheng that he had to be more fully prepared in the next few days before he could turn back, judging from Du Zhi's death scene, the murderer's martial arts were extremely high, and I am afraid that he may not be under himself. In addition, no one dares to guarantee that there will not be more masters hidden in the huge and complex underground secret passages, and if they do not prepare accordingly and return recklessly, it will undoubtedly be a turtle in an urn and give people their heads.
At the same time, Shi Cheng's heart was still lamenting for another thing.
Although the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce is willing to share information related to Kenbin Wangcheng and the Kenbin Forbidden Zone, Shi Cheng's heart is also clear about some tacit things on both sides, although the other party has done a full job in his posture, but he must have concealed a lot of key information, but he can't question the other party, the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce only needs to take a sentence "We actually don't have more information" to prevaricate Shi Cheng, can Shi Cheng still rush to the headquarters of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce to turn the documents in the Chamber of Commerce upside down?
Although you can use various means in private, everyone is a decent person on the surface, as long as you are on the surface, you have to do things according to the rules on the surface.
The reality is so.
Shi Cheng also considered whether to replicate his means of finding out the news in the Western Desert Country, by walking the streets and alleys to provide free clinics, and learning about various local situations through chatting in the process of seeing a doctor.
But this idea had to be dispelled on the day when Shi Cheng and Tie Mian visited the Kenbin King City a few days ago, although Rainforest Continent is a poor continent, but the density of the population is far better than that of the Western Desert, where there are few people and more land, if you want to find out the news through the means of free clinics, then Shi Cheng can do nothing during this time.
In addition, although there is a pharmacy in Kenbin Wangcheng, the amount of medicinal materials that can be purchased is limited, which is not enough to support the amount of a free clinic.
So at the moment, the main news channel in Shi Cheng's hands, in addition to the news shared by the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce, is only the large and small mansion newspapers that he buys from the city every day from the Torin Manor.
The voice of the iron mask interrupted Shi Cheng's contemplation, "Shi Cheng, you mean that these secret passages have been used to transport children?" ”
Wu Neng patted his head and said angrily: "I heard from the Du family that there is a situation of buying and selling children in the city, will those thieves also be involved?" ”
Shi Cheng thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say, but for us, it is imperative to enter the secret passage again as soon as possible. Well, let's do a little bit more in this time, especially in terms of fighting, and I have a hunch that we're going to face a tough battle in the Kenbin box. ”
After the three of them briefly discussed their plans for the future, Shi Cheng sat down at the table, took out two pieces of letter paper from the drawer, and wrote the letter with a thin ink pen. A piece of letter was given to the steward of the manor, asking him to tell the mushroom and fruit shop that from tomorrow Alidol could come to the manor to deliver breakfast as usual; The second letter was addressed to Xu Fengshi, and Shi Cheng hoped that he could use the resources of the Fruit Tree Chamber of Commerce to secretly investigate the trafficking of young children in the city, and it was best to find out where these young children had gone.
......
After returning to the house where he was temporarily staying, Xu Fengshi, who was pale, walked into the study of the house with a loud voice under the support of Ma Guo.
After helping Xu Fengshi to sit down, Ma Guo took out a cold pill from the pocket of his jacket, gave it to Xu Fengshi, and then made a move to connect several key points on his chest, after doing all this, Ma Guo gently slapped Xu Fengshi's chest, and the latter coughed heavily and spit out a large mouthful of fishy mucus, which showed a relieved expression, and the whole person fell back weakly on the back of the seat.
"Damn......" Xu Fengshi, who has always been elegant and easy-going, rarely scolded his mother, "This forbidden area is really not a place for people to stay......"
"Alright, stop talking nonsense." Ma Guo said coldly, "With me and the thing on your body, you can't get out of trouble, what do you see during the time you stay in the forbidden area?" ”
"I'll write to it later, and I'm now nine percent sure that the strange treasure is not on the west side of the forbidden area." Xu Fengshi proudly took out a wayfinding compass from his pocket and shook it in front of Ma Guo, "Maybe, when we were exploring in the forbidden area, we were already very close to the treasure at a certain moment." ”
"However, Xu can't accurately locate the specific location of the treasure now, and he has to enter the forbidden area a few more times."
"Sure enough, it was the right choice to transfer you to Kenbin King City, there are really a lot of talents in the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce." Ma Guo praised, "It is rumored that the people of Beixi Continent have a set of skills to see the mountains and rivers, even if they are people who have no cultivation, they can also show it. ”
"The ancestor of my Xu family, when he traveled in the North and West Continent, it took a lot of effort to learn this skill from a hidden master, if it was useless, why did the ancestor pursue it back then?"
"You better reply to the Chamber of Commerce quickly, those underground secret passages found in the forbidden area give me a bad feeling. Don't be given a head start by a thief who doesn't know where it came from. ”
"I know, don't worry, the Chamber of Commerce doesn't send people to support, what can we do now but stare dryly? It's better to calm down and plan for the rest first. You told me to take a breather, and I wrote to it right away...... Alas, in this world, is it easy to earn some flour money. ”
