The sound of waves crashing against rocks and sand is endless. Almost like a white line, the waves rushed from afar, slammed against the shore with a rhythmic splashing sound, and then burst into foam and disappeared between the sand and stones. A row of sprays followed suit.

Nearly a month has passed since Tangmen's birthday banquet. He Ergou and Luo Jingxian left the Tang Gate, Luo Jingxian proposed to go to the coastal place to have a look, He Ergou couldn't find the master, and wanted to go to the outside world to see, so he happily set off.

At this time, they were already standing on the seashore, the sea breeze was blowing the corners of their clothes, He Ergou looked down at the sea, and saw a small shrimp in the sand below the water, a small shrimp was in a hurry to make a hole, and also saw a conch was brought ashore by the silver waves, buried dead in the fine sand of the shallows.

He Ergou couldn't help but think: "Sure enough, this kind of sea that has not been polluted by industry is much clearer than what I have ever seen." ”

Luo Jingxian saw that He Ergou was treading water with his head down all the way, so he said: "I have been watching the sea here for a long time, and Brother He is also bored, why don't I take you to a good place!"

He Ergou said: "What a good place?"

Luo Xian said: "Haijiao Hall." ”

He Ergou said: "Haijiaotang, is it also a sect in the martial arts?"

Luo Jingxian shook his head and said: "Haijiaotang is not a sect, but a wharf, more specifically, it should be a force formed by a group of people from the rivers and lakes who go to sea to do business. The hall owner's surname is Du Minghang, in his forties, he has a Wu hook, and there are many brothers under his account, most of whom are rabble people who are engaged in smuggling business, but there are also some people with heads and faces in the rivers and lakes. ”

He Ergou quipped: "Then shall we go to Haijiaotang to watch them smuggle?"

Luo Xian was shocked and said: "A few days ago, when I was eating in the restaurant, I heard a businessman say that there will be a big move in Haijiaotang recently, and he is recruiting martial arts people to help him.

He Ergou said strangely: "When did you hear such big news again, why didn't I hear it?"

Luo Jingxian smiled proudly: "I'm a big ranger who has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and I collect intelligence through hearsay, how can Brother He compare with me?"

He Ergou smiled: "You are not modest!"

The two of them made up their minds and headed in the direction of Haijiao Hall.

All the way non-stop, after a day, this sea Jiaotang is very hidden, the more you go to this road, the more you don't see people, until you finally go to the deserted, a radius of several miles, there is not a house.

Finally, the two of them came to a sea that looked a little different.

He Ergou saw a huge wharf from a distance, and at a cursory glance, there were a lot of black houses, and it was roughly estimated that there were more than 100 households, like a small village.

Next to the pier, hundreds of small boats are moored, one by one tied to wooden stakes on the shore, "creaking" and undulating with the waves.

It is said that this is the seaside, but even the waves are very rare in calm, and the water quality is very turbid and bad, and it is no longer as clear and gentle as before.

The surface of the sea was patched, glowing with disgusting oil, and there were all kinds of debris floating in the water, and even some human body parts could be found in it, emitting a strong rancid stench.

He Ergou couldn't help frowning, clenching his teeth, as if he was afraid that the stench would come in from between his teeth: "That village-like place over there is Haijiaotang?"

Luo Jingxian nodded and said: "That's right, the ships over there are also theirs, and their people usually go to sea from here to do some unsavory transactions with foreign merchants." Although the Central Plains forbade people to trade with foreign countries at will, foreign merchants knew that they could get more silver through this way. ”

He Ergou said: "Then won't the imperial court send troops to clear it?"

Luo Xian said: "Naturally, there is, but Haijiaotang not only represents these folk black markets and foreign trade, but also secretly does some secret business of dignitaries and nobles, and many interests are involved back and forth, and the imperial court can't control it." ”

He Ergou was moving forward while listening to Luo Jingxian's words, suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a human upper limb in the dirty sea water next to him, when he was a doctor in the twenty-fifth century, although he did not study medicine, he was also inevitably exposed to scientific researchers in various fields, and he was also accustomed to virtual samples of various parts of the human body, so he was not very panicked at this time, but just asked: "What kind of business does this Haijiaotang do? Why does this still have an arm?"

Luo Xian glanced at the broken arm, frowned, and said: "Du Hang, this person, is very affectionate and righteous, and he treats people who are good friends with him, he treats them honestly, but those who betray him are often torn apart by him and fed to the fish." ”

He Ergou couldn't help but think of the gangster boss he once saw in the movie......

Finally, the two of them came to the vicinity of this house, and at a glance, there were people busy with their heads bowed at the door of almost every house: some were counting the goods, some were polishing their weapons, some were pouring buckets of fresh fish on oilskin paper, and some were using knives to split a wooden box, and the gold, silver and jewelry inside were scattered all over the place.

The middle-aged man sitting at the door of a room drying nets saw He Ergou and Luo Jingxian, so he put down what he was doing and walked over to them.

The man stopped in front of them and said, "What are you doing here?"

Luo Xian said: "We are here to help the fist! What is the name of the eldest brother?"

The man said: "My name is Li Ping, and I am responsible for contacting the hall master, and the hall master said that there are enough people to help the fist, so you can go." ”

After that, the man went back to continue drying the net.

Luo Jingxian hurriedly called out to Li Ping and said: "Eh, big brother, wait a minute, you can go and tell Hall Master Du that it is He Ergou of the Xiaoyao faction who is here today, with strong martial arts, and one can top many of them!"

He Ergou had a feeling that he had been sold, and turned his head to stare at Luo Jingxian with a puzzled face.

Luo Jingxian nodded confidently, and the expression on his face signaled that He Ergou did not have to worry.

He Ergou wanted to cry without tears, and thought: "I don't know any martial arts, if I want to help when the time comes, even if I can come back alive, I can't be dismembered by this Du Hang...... I hope this big brother doesn't go and inform us......"

As soon as he thought of this, Li Ping said, "You guys are waiting here, I'll go talk to the hall master." ”

With that, he threw down the cloak he had draped over to protect against the sea breeze, and walked towards a delicate tiled house in the middle of the house.

He Ergou was bitter in his heart, and just wanted to find an opportunity to escape quickly. Luo Jingxian had a calm smile on his face, looking confidently waiting for Li Ping to come out and call them in.

But they waited for more than Li Ping.

A young man wearing a light-colored brocade robe, jade around his waist, and three jasper rings on his hands walked out, walked up to the two with a happy face, grabbed Luo Jingxian's hand, and said excitedly: "You are He Shaoxia! Du has heard of the name for a long time, and today I am fortunate to have He Shaoxia's help in his fist, and my Haijiaotang is full of brilliance!"

"Look, look!" Du Hang turned back to Li Ping who was standing behind him with a smile on his face and said, "The first disciple of the Carefree Sect!

Li Ping nodded frantically while echoing on the side.

He Ergou stood aside with a black line on his face, looking at Du Hang shaking Luo Jingxian's hand, and then looking at Luo Jingxian's face that he was about to hold back his internal injuries, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Luo Xian was shocked and said: "Hall Master Du, this is He Shaoxia." ”

Suddenly, Du Hang's hand stopped in mid-air, frozen along with the movements, and the smile on his face.
