Chapter 407: Lure the snake out of its hole (5)
Zhang Zifeng said: "Immediately check where he went out this time? From now on, closely monitor Xiao Huishao and Jia Shitai, and don't let down your guard against Zheng Wei. Every move they make must be recorded and reported, especially those of them What happened after leaving the sect. Another person was sent to let out the news, saying that the sect was going to organize a major operation against the Qianyi sect.
The man surnamed Wu hesitated for a while and asked: "If they leave the sect again, do they need to be followed? I'm afraid they will find out."
"You don't need to worry about this. You only need to keep an eye on their every move within the sect, including looking for their behavior outside. After the news is released this time, you must pay close attention to them to see who is inquiring about this matter."
"clear."

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Outside the Taoist temple, there are cavalry and more than a hundred soldiers with armor and guns. They are divided into several teams, riding high on the horses, galloping back and forth on patrol. No one is allowed to approach within a radius of five miles.
In mid-air, a man was walking with a sword, holding two thin, petite and unconscious women in his arms, and fell to the Taoist temple. With a flick of his arm, the two women fell to the ground, unconscious.
Inside the temple, four tall and sturdy men in Tsing Yi hurriedly came to greet them, bowing down and saluting.
The man waved his hand: "Push these two people into the dungeon and train them hard." After saying that, he walked towards the palace with his hands behind his hands.
The four men in green clothes said so, and carried the two women to a corner of the side hall. They turned the candlelight stand and the ground moved to both sides with a rumble, revealing a wide underground passage.
Several people went down to the dungeon, and could not walk more than a few dozen feet. They heard the sound of wailing and screaming underground. With expressionless faces, several people pushed the two women into a cell, added iron chains, and strode And go.
In the dungeon, dozens of cages with iron bars are arranged closely, holding nearly a hundred cardamom women. Most of them were naked and had scars all over their bodies. What's more, their whole bodies were so rotten that they smelled terrible. The room on the other side was filled with instruments of torture, and wailing sounds could be heard constantly.
Two strong men were torturing a young woman tied with iron chains. Many torture instruments were used at once, and there was no good flesh on the woman's body.
A big man placed red-hot Luotie seals on her belly, and the woman screamed and passed out.
"Give her medicine and pull her down." The big man said.
Another man took out many porcelain bottles from the cabinet and sprinkled the medicinal powder on the woman's skin one by one.
Just as he was about to untie the chains on her body, he suddenly heard a slight sigh.
He looked back and was shocked when he saw a figure slowly walking out of the wall. It was a young man with a straight nose and deep eyes.
"Who are you? This is the Lu family's forbidden area, no one is allowed to enter without permission." The big man shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, two heads rolled down.
Tang Ning looked at the woman in front of her who was bound by iron chains and her hair was disheveled. She didn't move for a long time, with mixed feelings in her heart.
Anger, helplessness, confusion, pity, many emotions suddenly surged into my heart.
He had long heard that the Dou family was executed and the Lu family took over the Dou family's property, including the Wangxichuan business.
This time I returned to Qinchuan. After walking around Wangxichuan, I couldn't help but want to come here to have a look. I found that everything was the same as before, no change from decades ago.
He couldn't help but recall the scene in Feilong Mountain where the bodies of the Dou family were strewn everywhere and blood flowed into channels.
The image of Dou Bolun with disheveled hair and split eyes kept reappearing in his mind.
He lured Dou Bolun into rebelling against him and betrayed the Dou family, and finally broke his promise and killed his entire family, just because he resented the Dou family's cruel methods.
But the scenes in front of him now shocked him greatly. The Dou family had been executed by the clan, Wang Xichuan still existed, and the dungeon remained the same.
What’s the point of killing the Dou family by one’s own clan! Do all the children of the Dou family really deserve to die?
The Dou family fell, and the Lu family took over. The Lu family fell, and another family continued to take over.
The people came one after another, and the executions were endless.
He closed his eyes, and countless thoughts came to his mind. After a long time, he slowly opened them, his eyes full of confusion.
In the main hall of the Taoist temple, a handsome man with handsome features was sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes and practicing Qi.
Footsteps sounded outside the door, and someone pushed the door open. The man opened his eyes and was slightly startled: "Who are you?"
Before he finished speaking, a ray of light flashed, and the man fell down with blood flowing from his chest.
Outside the door, there were already a mass of corpses. Tangning had no expression on his face as he turned into a ray of light and rose into the sky. He also knew that there was no benefit in killing the few stationed monks and this loser, it was just to vent the anger in his chest.
In the dungeon, many women rushed out at once, making a lot of noise and rushing out.
In the Lu family's residence, a man pointed his sword straight down and walked into the main hall with a hurried look.
In the hall, Lu Xin was sitting cross-legged on the futon. He opened his eyes and saw the man's expression was different. He asked, "What's wrong? Are you in a hurry?"
"Uncle, all the untransformed women we imprisoned in Chaotian Guan have escaped. All the men stationed at Chaotian Guan have been killed, including Tianbao, Brother Zhu, and Hua Yi." The man said quickly.
Lu Xinqian's expression changed slightly when he heard this: "Who did it?"
"It's still unclear. I have sent people to arrest those women who escaped."
"Wang Xichuan! Are you okay?"
"No."
Lu Xinqiang looked suspicious and was silent for a long time. He recalled that when the Dou family was executed by the clan, it was also a normal situation. First, the imprisoned woman escaped, Wangxichuan was destroyed, and then a series of events triggered. Who was dealing with him?
He felt that the matter was not simple, and the other party would definitely make follow-up actions. Could it be that the Lu family also wanted to follow the Dou family's path?
"Immediately check who did it. No matter what the cost, we must find out."
"Yes." The man accepted the order and left.
Lu Xinqiang couldn't sit still anymore and left the hall, turning into a ray of light and leaving.
……………
Yuanxiu Peak is located in the northwest of Qinchuan, bordering Longyou. It has high and dangerous peaks, shrouded in clouds and mist, and rugged rocks. You can hear the cries of white apes and see dancing cranes. The scenery is unique.
On the top of the peak, stands a majestic and majestic attic, with five shining golden characters written on it, Yuanxiu Peak Gambling House.
There were people coming and going in front of the attic door.
Tang Ning arrived with her sword and entered the pavilion. The spacious hall was extremely luxuriously decorated, with stone pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the surrounding walls were made of crystal. They were crystal clear and the aura of nobility hit her face.
A pretty woman walked up to him slowly: "It seems that I have never met this Taoist friend before. He rarely comes to this pavilion!"
Tangning nodded and said, "I'm from South China."
The woman said: "The room on the first floor of this pavilion has five spirit stones for one bet, the room on the second floor has ten spirit stones for one bet, and the room on the third floor for twenty spirit stones has one bet. There are also special private rooms with no limit on bets. Do you know which floor you want to have fun on?”
"On the third floor!"
"Okay, fellow Taoist, please come with me." The woman led him to a cabinet and said, "Fellow Taoist, you can exchange chips here."
Tangning took out a thousand spirit stones and handed them to a man in the cabinet.
The man took out fifty red, round stones from the lower layer of the cabinet. Each stone was the size of a steel ball. They were numbered and engraved with special patterns. He loaded them with a black ink disk and handed them to her.
This millstone is one foot in diameter and has dozens of pits in it. Each pit is exactly the size of a stone. One pit is filled with ten stones, which is clearly visible at a glance.
Tang Ning took the ink plate and went up to the third floor of the attic with the woman. They stopped in front of a stone room. The woman took out the jade pendant and closed it in the recess of the stone wall. The stone door turned around.
There were four men sitting inside, some were smiling happily, some were frowning in thought.
Seeing him entering, several people looked back.
Tang Ning sat down next to the fair-faced man and placed the ink tray on the stone table.
The entire stone chamber is separated by blue staccato stones and is about two feet long and wide. The gaming table can accommodate up to six people placing bets at the same time.
There are more than ten kinds of gambling methods in this world, and each room has its own method. The method of playing in this room is called gambling.
The rules are very simple. There are two players, the banker and the player. Each side has five cards, and the cards have ten numbers from zero to nine. Whoever has the higher number of five cards wins.
The person in charge of the gambling table will turn out two cards first and leave three cards until everyone places their bets.
Everyone can place bets on the banker and player sides.
There are forty cards in each deck, consisting of the suit and color. Each card is carved from black stone, which can completely isolate the monk's spiritual consciousness from prying eyes. It is about one inch long and half an inch thick.
After a round, the person in charge of the gambling table collected all the cards distributed and placed them in the huge millstone under the stone table.
He took out a new set of shuffled stone cards.
Each gambling table has at least two stone tiles. After a game, they are immediately cleaned again and another pair is taken out.
The millstone under the stone table is actually a special spiritual machine that can automatically clean the stone tablets and eliminate the traces and smells left behind.
This is to prevent others from leaving marks by unknown means.
The millstone is surrounded by a stone wall built with obsidian stones to prevent others from prying into it. Only two small holes were left under the person in charge of the gaming table, one for entry and one for exit.
As long as you put the stone tablets into the hole on one side, they will automatically be drawn into the grinding disc for cleaning. After washing, they will be arranged neatly and spit out from the other side.
The person in charge of the gambling table here is a beautiful woman with only the fifth level of Qi refining.
Tang Ning played all day and night until the sky turned white before leaving the gambling house. He was lucky enough to win thirty stones and put them into the ink tray. When he exchanged them below, the other party gave him one thousand five hundred and forty spirits. stone.
One thousand spirit stones were his capital, and the other five hundred and forty spirit stones were his profit. It was originally six hundred spirit stones, but the gambling house wanted to take 10% of the profit, so sixty spirit stones were deducted.
Tang Ning came out of the attic, flew away with her flying sword, and returned here around noon the next day, until the sky turned white.
For more than ten days in a row, he went back and forth here every day, gambling all night long.
