Chapter 20
The East Gate Market is noisy and noisy, the streets are crowded with pawns and peddlers, and the sound of hawking can be heard endlessly.

Qu Linglong chased after the masked woman in black, only less than two feet away, but because there were too many people, she couldn't use her hands and feet. When she pushed away the crowd, she turned over and jumped up. The masked woman suddenly disappeared around the corner.

"Huh?" Qu Linglong let out a little snort, and it was the second... the second one to escape under her nose.

"No, there must be no second one." Qu Linglong muttered inwardly, looking around, soon found some bloodstains on the ground, needless to say, these must have been left by the masked woman.

Qu Linglong followed the blood all the way and stopped at the door of a gambling house, just now she saw a black shadow flashing into the gambling house, she was very sure that it was the masked woman.

What is a woman doing in a casino?Is it just to escape for a while?
Qu Linglong frowned, feeling something was wrong, and immediately stepped into the casino.

This is a casino that looks cold on the outside, but very lively inside.There are all kinds of gamblers shouting inside, those who win are screaming excitedly, those who lose money cry and cry, those who lose penniless can only go to the banker to borrow money, and those who have no mortgage and cannot borrow money have to be obscene. Wretchedly making coir raincoats for the lucky ones, always thinking of asking for a reward of one or two taels from the money won by others, with one or two taels, maybe I can win back all the money I lost, and then make a lot of money a sum.

Naturally, Qu Linglong didn't have time to figure out the psychology of these gamblers, she followed her breath and searched for the masked woman from the crowd.

"Oh, there's a bitch here!"

"Hehe, so white and tender, so pretty!"

When the gamblers saw Qu Linglong, they immediately surrounded her, flirting with her obscene appearance and vulgar words.

"Get out!" Qu Linglong let out a low voice, her face was like frost, and there was a cloud of mist.

"Yo, you still have a bit of a temper? Grandpa, I just like to have a little spicy taste! Little lady, where are you from? Where do you live? How old are you? Grandpa, I happen to be short of a third house. If my lady follows me, In the future, I promise to drink... drink... drink..."

The gambler hadn't finished speaking when the golden knife cut his throat open, and blood gushed out like a fountain, spraying everywhere.

Qu Linglong withdrew her knife and fought back, kicked the gambler to the ground, without taking a second look, she continued to walk deep.

The rest of the gamblers were all dumbfounded, who would have thought that this woman was actually a master of cultivation, and would even kill someone if she disagreed with her.

They were all terrified, trembling all over, and some of them knelt on the ground, begging incessantly: "We don't mean to offend, please forgive me! Please forgive me!"

Qu Linglong ignored the group of people, but continued to go deep, there is a secret passage in the depths of the gambling house, the entrance of the secret passage is a stone gate, just now Qu Linglong heard the rumble of the stone gate moving, she guessed it was the Meng The masked woman entered the secret passage.

However, when she reached the stone gate, a row of dense arrows suddenly shot out from inside the stone gate. closed.

Looking at the closed stone gate, Qu Linglong frowned, a stone gate blocked her footsteps here, she was naturally very unwilling, but this stone gate was extremely thick, and it condensed at least the spiritual protection of the master level and above , is not so easy to smash.

"This door must have a mechanism..." As one of the 81 saints of the Saintess Sect, Qu Linglong is not only decisive, but also smart. She quickly found the mechanism of this stone gate. A painting on the wall.

This is a dark yellow painting with a charming frame. The paper used to draw this painting is a sheepskin scroll that has always been popular in the Zhou Dynasty. Map of opening mountains to save lives".

The story in the painting is easy to understand and clear at a glance. A little girl was chased by a huge golden ghost leopard and hid in a cave. The golden ghost leopard chased the little girl and knocked down the cave. Hei Jia, who looks very strong, Kong Wu's powerful bearded man appeared, dragged a black gold ring knife, hacked the golden ghost leopard to death, split open the collapsed cave with his bare hands, and rescued the miraculously hairless man from the pile of stones. A harmless little girl.

This painting adopts scatter-point perspective composition method to integrate complex scenes into a unified and varied picture. Although there seem to be only two characters in the painting, the soldiers behind the barbarian king can be clearly seen, even The spider crabs on the ground, every plant and tree, are all vivid and lifelike.Look at this scene, as if the story happened during the war.

The expression on the barbarian king's face in the painting, and the brightness in the eyes of the little girl at the moment of being rescued, have different expressions, all of which are cleverly portrayed, and the brushwork is quite ingenious.

Next to it is an ancient poem inscribed. The ancient poem is vertical and divided into four sentences. From right to left, they are:

Golden Ge Iron Armor Hundred Zhang Army,
Ewha snow horse battle () cool.

() The country's wolves and monsters rise up,

The barbarian offered his loyal liver to the Savior.

"Huh?" Qu Linglong looked at this ancient poem and found that there are two words missing in this poem. If she wants to solve the mechanism right now, she must solve this word puzzle.

"Jin Ge Iron Armor Hundred Zhang Army, this sentence refers to the scale of the march. The marching soldiers reached hundreds of feet. It can be seen that there are a lot of people and a large scale." Qu Linglong lowered her head and said to herself, her voice was very soft, only she could hear it can see.

"Why is it cold for the pear blossom snow horse fight? Does this scene mean that it is snowing? Why is it cold for the fight?" Qu Linglong touched the tip of her nose with her fingertips, thinking carefully. !” is obviously a location word.

Qu Linglong, who is familiar with the military books of a hundred schools of thought, doesn't know the word Xiliang. Although Xiliang was conquered by Dazhou ten years ago, and the king of Xiliang was captured alive by Emperor Zhao He, Xiliang was once The brilliance, but must be written.

Guessing the word "Xi", Qu Linglong felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart, took advantage of the victory to pursue, and continued to read the next sentence to the left:
() The country's wolves rise up
"What... does this mean? This poem is obviously a metaphor, and it may be a pun. But... what exactly do you want to tell me? The wolf demons are gathered together? Are the wolf demons here referring to monsters or people with wolf ambitions? Which country How about a pack of wolf monsters?" Qu Linglong kept nodding her nose with her fingertips, speeding up her thinking, she didn't want the prey she had managed to catch up to just run away like this, she was not reconciled.

"Which country is the wolf demon? Liang country? Jiang country? Water country?" She thought of almost all the small countries next to Dazhou, but when she substituted them in, she found that everything was wrong.

His eyes were fixed on the previous sentence: Lihua White Horse vs. Xiliang.

Suddenly... there is!
Actually the last sentence guessed the location word, so why can't this sentence guess the location word?
"I think it must be—a pack of wolves and monsters from the Northern Kingdom."

Qu Linglong smiled in her heart, and suddenly poured her spiritual power into her fingertips, and filled in the words "West" and "North" with her spiritual power in the air. These two characters were like transparent water at first, and then fell onto the drawing paper , there was a burst of white light, and the complete verse soon appeared:
Golden Ge Iron Armor Hundred Zhang Army,
Lihua Xuema battles Xiliang.

The wolves of the Northern Kingdom rise up,

The barbarian offered his loyal liver to the Savior.

"Barbarian?" When the complete poem appeared, Qu Linglong took another look and found a doubtful point. How could the story of "Barbarian King Save People" become "Barbarian Savior"?What's the story here?
But at this moment, the two transparent characters "West" and "North" suddenly attracted her attention.

"Northwest? Are you telling me that the agency is in the northwest?" Qu Linglong looked to the northwest. There was a stone wall in the northwest. It looked smooth and bare. There is a stone button the size of a chess piece, which was obviously not there just now.

"Huh?" Is this the mechanism button?Qu Linglong turned the button curiously, only to hear a rumbling sound, but the stone door opened wide.

"It's done!" Qu Linglong smiled, clapping her hands, her figure escaped into the secret passage inside the stone gate.

The secret path was winding, bottomless, and pitch black. From time to time, Qu Linglong was worried that the masked woman would suddenly appear next to her, her heart beating suddenly, the golden knife in her hand was clenched even tighter, and her palms seemed to be sweating.

Nervously walking through the long secret road, but did not see the figure of the masked woman, Qu Linglong was about to scream inwardly, could it be that she fell into Lu Xiaotian's trick to lure herself away and attack Uncle Chen ...At this time, a ray of light suddenly came from the front.

When I walked in, I found out that it was a basement. There were many dusty treasure boxes piled up in the basement, and I didn't know what was inside the treasure box.

In the basement, Qu Linglong could hear the conversations of the people above and the light sound of shoes stepping on the wooden boards.

"Sister Mei, I found out the news that the two brothers from the Yun family were indeed taken away by the people of Lord Hou's mansion; the Mr. Lu you are looking for is really an unborn genius, not only in a short period of time, his cultivation has reached nine A high-ranking martial artist, and now he is invincible by defeating four martial artists by himself, he is really a great hero!"

"Sister Lin, what you said is really good. I appreciate my brother. By the way, what kind of people did you say those two beggars were?"

When hearing this sentence, Qu Linglong frowned secretly. Listening to their conversation, it was clear that they were talking about the fight between Lu Xiaotian and the domineering man Hou Yetuo just now, and the "beggar" in their mouths was clearly talking about herself and Chen. Uncle!
Qu Linglong was upset, but she couldn't have it, so she could only continue to hide in the dark and continue to eavesdrop.

"Sister Mei, I also eavesdropped on the conversation between those two beggars, er, no, she is not actually a beggar, that female beggar is actually some holy emissary taught by the saint, and that old beggar is some kind of elder... It seems It’s like people from the Saintess Cult, that’s right, the beggar Huazi herself said that if she wants to take the magic weapon, Mr. Lu will also kill him...Sister Mei, what do you think about this?”

Listening to the voice, the woman who spoke was undoubtedly the masked woman just now, her voice was full of grievance and dissatisfaction, like a girl in a boudoir who is not familiar with the world and has not yet left the court, but what made Qu Linglong very angry: she dared to say that she Is it a beggar?This little lotus thinks she is very pure, doesn't she?
Qu Linglong gritted her teeth, wishing she could break through the board and slap her twice.

"Holy Maiden Religion? Divine Weapon? So the Divine Weapon is in my brother's hands? It's broken!"

"Sister Mei, what's wrong?"

"My younger brother is only a ninth-rank martial artist. He took the magic weapon. No force in the entire Yangzhou City will let him go easily. They will definitely snatch the magic weapon from him! Now even the young master knows him With the magic weapon, this Yangzhou city... I am afraid that there will be a bloody storm coming."

"Sister Mei, I think he is very powerful, I may not be able to beat him, really."

"Sister Lin, you have the protection of the Lin family behind you, but my younger brother has no backing. If I don't help him, he may be doomed this time."

"How can I help? I can help too?"

"Sister Lin, don't involve your Lin family in this matter, and you are the most talented alchemist in my Yangzhou City, and you have a bright future in the future, why bother to go through this muddy water?"

"Sister Mei, do you think we are still good sisters? What is the name of an alchemist? I don't think Mr. Lu's demeanor and character are from this world. I want to help him!"

"Since that's the case, thank you very much. I'll go to the Sun Mansion right now."

"Okay, then I'll go back to Lin's house first, and send someone to find me if something happens."

"Well, put on this suit and be careful on the road."

"Haha... character?" In the basement, Qu Linglong sneered inwardly, and her eyes suddenly turned cold: You want to keep Lu Xiaotian, so I will kill you to see, shameless little lotus, actually called me a beggar ,snort!
