In the evening, Shi Jiu finally arrived at Blackwater City.

After entering the city gate, he was moved by the bustling scenery of the street.

Originally, Shi Jiu thought that most of the people in this later city should be those who came here to explore treasures, and there were not too many local residents, most of whom made a living by serving those who came to hunt for treasures, but in fact, there were all kinds of people coming and going on the streets, all walks of life, and various buildings on both sides of the street were lined up one after another, a prosperous scene.

Shi Jiu came to a restaurant, and then some dishes in the store, and ate them slowly.

"Have you heard? The gang of bandits who were wanted in Tonglin Hall seemed to have been caught, and many people had already gone to watch. Someone at the next table commented.

"Of course I know, I just came back from there and know best." Someone laughed a little smugly.

"Oh? So what's going on now? Was the gang of bandits killed? Someone immediately asked eagerly.

"Is this the case, now the elders of Tonglin Hall are escorting the bandits towards the ruins of Blackwater City."

"Huh? What's going on? Could it be that Tong Lin Temple wanted to execute that gang of bandits there? Some people showed doubts and did not understand the intentions of Tong Lin Temple.

"Do you need to run to the Blackwater ruins to execute that gang of bandits? Isn't it okay to kill it on the spot? I think it's probably because the gang of bandits found some secret room or treasure in the ruins of Blackwater City, and then the people in Tonglin Hall knew about it, so they rushed to the ruins of Blackwater City to find what they wanted. Someone immediately retorted.

"Alright, don't guess. I heard the news that the previous gang of bandits had robbed a team of Tonglin Hall in the Elegy Forest and robbed one of the other party's treasures, which caused them to be wanted everywhere in Tonglin Palace. Now Tonglin Hall received the news and caught the gang of bandits in a dense forest in the northwest this afternoon, and then wanted to force the bandit leader to hand over the treasure that the other party had robbed, but the bandit leader was not stupid, he hid the treasure in advance, and now he is leading the people of Tonglin Hall to rush there. The smug man explained.

"I see, wait, could it be that the bandit leader hid the treasure in the ruins of Blackwater City?" At this time, someone reacted.

"That's probably the case, so ah, a lot of treasure hunters are following them, wanting to get a piece of the pie."

"No wonder, I've seen a lot of people who have been here all year round to explore the ruins of Blackwater City, it turned out to be for this matter." Someone suddenly realized.

"Humph! Do those guys really think they can get some water? Don't forget the Tonglin Palace, they won't let people cut off their beards from their hands, maybe a lot of people will die. ”

"yes, that's what I thought, too."

"I think there is another possibility, could it be that the bandits deliberately took the people of Tonglin Hall to the ruins, after all, there are many labyrinths there, and it is easy to get lost in a hurry, maybe the bandit leader wants to take this opportunity to escape from the pursuit of Tonglin Palace?" Another speculation has been suggested.

"Well, I can't rule out this possibility, but those elders in Tonglin Hall should have thought of it a long time ago, and they definitely won't let this happen, right?"

"That's right, anyway, we'll know the outcome tomorrow, and now, why don't we keep drinking."

"That's right, let's get on."

Then, the sound of clinking glasses rang out again at the adjacent table.

"Tonglin Palace, bandits? …… Looted treasures...... Ruins of Blackwater City. Shi Jiu put down the wine glass in his hand, reminiscing about the conversation he had just heard at the next table.

"Tong Lin Hall was robbed of a treasure by a group of bandits in the Elegy Forest, and now the other party has caught that group of bandits, and now they are going to the ruins of Blackwater City to get back the treasure." Shi Jiu was a little amazed that there were bandits who robbed the things of Tonglin Palace, he was indeed bold enough, after all, Tonglin Hall was one of the best factions in the surrounding counties, and ordinary people really couldn't do this kind of thing.

And now that they have been arrested, it is estimated that they will regret their previous actions.

Soon, Shi Jiucao ate some food, and then left the restaurant and went straight to the ruins of Blackwater City.

Shi Jiu came to Blackwater City this time, originally for the ruins of Blackwater City, but now he heard that there was a lively situation there, so he just took this opportunity to go there, and he couldn't say what he would gain.

Just as Shi Jiu was heading to the ruins of Blackwater City, the round-faced man had already led the people of Tonglin Hall to this ruins.

"Zhao Dafa, where is the treasure thing?" The Third Elder asked impatiently.

Along the way, the round-faced man walked forward without saying a word, which made the three elders of Tonglin Hall a little irritable.

"Second Elder, Third Elder, I think that Zhao Dafa is deliberately delaying time, maybe that thing is on him, it is better for us to ...... directly" Ren Tianye next to the second elder didn't believe the words of the round-faced man at all, thinking that the thing was on the other party.

"Boy, it's okay to kill me, but you'll never find that thing again!" Zhao Dafa turned his head and threatened.

"Amano, don't be in a hurry, if he can't get it out when we get to the place, it's not too late for us to kill him and search him, can he still escape under our noses?" The second elder said calmly.

Although the other party's strength is good, it is only one person, and they and the three elders can take each other alone, so they don't worry about the other party escaping at all, and the biggest purpose of their trip is to get that thing back, and the rest can be put away.

"Zhao Dafa, did you hide that thing in the ruins of Blackwater City?" The second elder asked.

"Nonsense, otherwise what am I bringing you here for? Treasure hunting? The treasures here have long been dug up. Zhao Dafa sneered.

"Pay attention to your words, and if you dare to be disrespectful to us, I will kill your men first." Ren Amano couldn't get used to the arrogance of the other party, and said threateningly.

"Then don't keep threatening me with my companions, I'm really in a hurry, Lao Tzu directly wiped his neck, you don't want to get anything!"

"Enough! Zhao Dafa, you hurry up and lead the way, as long as you can find that thing, we will let you live. The second elder finally said.

"You two elders are reasonable, don't worry, I will hand over the things to you." After speaking, Zhao Dafa led the people behind him to the entrance of a dungeon in the ruins.

"You hid something in the Blackwater Labyrinth?" Ren Amano asked again.

"That's right, why don't you dare go down?" Zhao Dafa asked rhetorically.

"People go down here every day to explore treasures, and you dare to hide that thing here? You're not lying to us, are you? Ren Amano became more and more disbelieving in the other party's words.

"You know, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is." Zhao Dafa directly ignored Ren Tianye, and turned his head to look at the second elder of Tonglin Palace, "Second elder, then are you going down with me?" ”

The second elder didn't answer immediately, and after whispering to the third elder beside him, he said, "You lead the way, and we'll go down with you." ”

"Let's go, then." After speaking, Zhao Dafa was the first to walk into the entrance of the underground palace, followed by the second elder of Tonglin Palace, Ren Tianye and others also walked into the underground palace one after another.

However, just in case, the three elders and a few disciples were left at the entrance of the dungeon, firstly to prevent the other party from taking this opportunity to escape here, and secondly, to prevent those treasure hunters behind them who wanted to fish in troubled waters from going to the dungeon.

Sure enough, a minute later, after seeing the second elder of Tonglin Hall and others enter the underground palace, those who followed behind also wanted to enter the underground palace, and they were immediately blocked by the third elder of Tonglin Hall and all the disciples.

"Why don't you let us go down, this underground palace is not opened by your Tonglin Palace, why!" Seeing that the way was blocked, some people in the crowd immediately protested.

"What nonsense are you talking about! When they come out, I will let you go, and now you people will be quiet for me. The three elders scolded everyone, and the expression on their faces was also extremely impatient.

"No, we're going down now, it's a step late, what if the baby is robbed by someone else?"

"That's right, let us go down immediately, otherwise we will go around publicizing your Tonglin Hall to bully people and make your reputation bad!" The crowd was unwilling and protested one after another.

"Bang!"

The three elders of Tonglin Hall, who had a hot temper, directly broke a big knife with both hands, and then threw it at everyone, which immediately frightened everyone backwards.

"Whoever dares to twitter crookedly in front of me again, this knife will be the end! And if I hear who is slandering us behind my Tonglin Temple, I will also beat him into two parts! ”

After a vicious reprimand, those who still wanted to provoke immediately shut up, and had to obediently retreat not far away, but no one left, wanting to see the result.

In the underground palace, Zhao Dafa led the people in Tonglin Hall to shuttle through the dark alleys.

This is an underground palace built by the Heishui Palace back then, which was mainly used to store some items and provide a place for some disciples to rest, but it was completely destroyed by the enemy in the battle of destroying the door that year.

The ground part is broken and has become a ruin, and the underground part is fine, the damage is not too serious, and it is still the original state.

For thousands of years, people have continued to come here to explore and hunt for treasures, and this underground palace has basically been turned over, but this winding path is sometimes confusing.

Zhao Dafa led the way in front, followed by the people of Tonglin Palace, and in the middle of the team of Tonglin Hall were Zhao Dafa's subordinates who were trapped in their hands, and these people lowered their heads one by one, hanging their heads.

Zhao Dafa glanced back at his companion, and muttered silently in his heart: "There is no way, I can only leave you behind, maybe the other party will not kill you because of this, and maybe you will be rescued." ”

"Zhao Dafa, how long is it coming, in addition, I advise you not to be careful, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!" Behind him came the threatening words of the second elder of the Tong Lin Palace.

"Don't worry, it's all here, what else can I do? The only exit has been blocked by your people, and I can't escape if I want to! Zhao Dafa said angrily.

"It's good to know, then hurry up, don't wear out my patience completely, you know the consequences!" The second elder of the Tonglin Hall warned again.

"Got it, you're keeping up, it's almost there."

Zhao Dafa no longer turned his head to look at the people behind him, but quickened his pace and walked briskly through this dark path.

"Amano, you and I are following closely, and the others are optimistic about these bandits for me." The second elder commanded.

"Yes, Second Elder."

Subsequently, the Second Elder and Ren Tianye also quickened their pace and followed closely behind Zhao Dafa.

Sensing the pace behind him, Zhao Dafa secretly swore in his heart: "I'll make you regret coming here later, I, Zhao Dafa, am not so easy to bully, wait and see." ”
