Demon Book Qi Zhai

Chapter 5: Lotus House

Qiu only lost nine out of ten bets, while Ning Ji won nine out of ten bets.In the room, more than half of the people bet on Ning Ji's victory.

"Someone opened a casino somewhere in Hankou. This casino uses powerful monsters as gambling pieces to fight..."

Qiuzhi and Ning Ji were gambling, and told Shuya about the new case investigated to the military and police.When he finished talking about the new case, he finally said: "I bet the captain to win."

As soon as his words fell, Qiu only won Ning Ji.For a moment, the team members who bet on Ning Ji howled and were shocked.

"The captain actually won? How could it be!"

"Did the vice-captain lose on purpose?"

Ning Ji still smiled, and he said, "I lost."

The team members who bet on revenge and only won smiled, and they patted the losers on the shoulders one after another: "Start tomorrow, remember to help me do my laundry. Not too much, not too much, just a month."

The gambling game is over, report to Shuya.Qiu just picked up the dominoes and tossed them in his hand, he said: "Starting tomorrow, the task will be divided into groups."

The crowd quieted down.

"Kong Bing follow me to check the casino and hide your gun."

"Yes, captain." said the taciturn Kong Bing.

"Xiang Shuya, Mu Le, and Nie Wenkang continue to investigate the news of Hankou's hunt for monsters."

"Yes." Xiang Shuya said.

"Ning Ji led Xue Yusheng, Yue Lingxian, and Xiao Chu to investigate the underground arsenal that supplies weapons to monsters."

"Leave it to me." Ning Ji's smiling face made people feel like he was wearing a mask.

"Qi Zhang, Nalan Er, and Zhuge Gongming are going to find out who sold the news about the Featherman's Lair to Wilson."

"Yes, Captain!"

"Wumen, Fu Dong, Rong Chi, Qi Mingde, Ding Yu, Shi Shi, Ruan Chengyin, Zuo Qisheng, the eight of you are interfering in the transaction of Hankou monsters according to Xiang Shuya's investigation."

"Yes, Captain!"

After the mission was assigned, Ning Ji took Xue Yusheng, Yue Lingxian, and Xiao Chu to investigate the underground arsenal on the spot overnight.Qi Zhang, Nalan Er, and Zhuge Gongming also changed their costumes and went to the French Concession to investigate the case of Wilson's transaction.

The rest of the people, rest well tonight, and continue to investigate the case of illegal trading of goblins tomorrow.

After taking off his robe, Qiu just lay on the bed.He closed his eyes, Bai Xianzhen appeared in his mind, why did this man occupy his mind?Maybe it's because of his smell...

In the afternoon of the next day, Qiu Zhi and Kong Bing were dressed in suits and leather shoes.

The tall and handsome Qiu only put on a close-fitting western suit, and his inner demeanor changed a bit. Facing the mirror, he smoothed the short hair on his head with his hands, and then revealed the extremely aggressive face. face.And Kong Bing kept his gun somewhere on his body. If he didn't strip him naked, you would never find where he hid his most beloved gun.

Disguised, the two left the Red House and crossed the river to Hankou.After getting off the boat, the two went to Lianhua House on Hanzheng Street.

Among the chaotic and lively commercial alleys, Lianhua House is easy to find.There are two white lanterns hanging on the door of this house that sells sacrificial supplies. The left and right lanterns say "Lianhua", and the quaint doorway is carved with lotus flowers.At this moment, it is daytime, and the Lianhua House is open. In front of the gate, there are paper figurines for sacrifices. There are two rows of paper figurines on the left and right of the gate, staring at the people coming and going in the street, as if they will really come to life. , It really makes people shudder.

Qiu only led Kong Bing through two rows of paper figurines and stepped into the Lotus Room. In the room, the smell of incense and candles enveloped him for a moment.

"Is Lianhua here?" Qiu Zhi asked.

"Yes, please sit." In front of the "Buddhist Shrine" dedicated to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Lianhua sat on a chair with long hair loose, and the candlelight inside was reflected on the face painted with a lotus totem.

Two chairs floated in front of Lianhua, and Qiu Zhi and Kong Bing sat down facing him.

"Do you know the underground casino in Hankou?"

"Know."

"where?"

"In the Russian Concession. You can't pry it, though."

"Because the people who can go in are the most famous dignitaries in Wuhan, right." Qiu Zhi sneered.

"Indeed."

"How can I enter?"

"A recommender is needed."

"Can you enter?"

"can."

"Take me in."

"Why did I bring you in?" Lianhua looked at Qiu Zhi with a smile.

"If you don't take me there, I'll tear down your lotus house and throw it into the Yangtze River." As soon as Qiu Zhi's words fell, the whole lotus house began to "buzz". Ling appeared in front of Lianhua.

"None, zero. Step back." Lianhua said.

"Lianhua." Ling Jian's ears moved, and the black lines on his forehead turned.

The eyes under the mask looked at Qiu Zhi, Wu grabbed Ling and disappeared.

"Duan Dudu really caused me a lot of trouble." Lianhua said like a headache.

"He didn't bring you big trouble, but he brought big trouble to the whole Hankou." Qiu Zhi said disdainfully.

"Do you know how much interest your military and police team has mobilized in the elites of Hankou?" Lianhua picked up a small fan and opened it. On his fan was a painting of a devil from hell.

"so what."

"Even if you take the people under your command to die, doesn't it matter?"

"The brothers in my hands dare to go to the sea of ​​​​hell, Hankou, what is it?"

"Your army and police force are really similar to Yinyang Zhai." Lianhua chuckled.

Knowing that there are evil spirits in front of him, he still uses his own hands to cut the road out.In addition to the difference in morality, the only point is that the military and police forces and Yinyang Zhai are the same.

Qiu Zhi, Bai Xianzhen, can you really break through the darkness covering Hankou and bring light to the inhabitants of the hidden world?You guys, do you know what you are facing?Thumping in the waves of Hankou, if you are not careful, you will capsize and be buried here.

Regarding Lianhua's evaluation, Qiu Zhi was noncommittal.After all, the morals they enforce are different.

"Tonight, I recommend you to the casino."

"Okay." Qiu stood up and said to Kong Bing, "Let's go."

Kong Bing nodded.

Watching the two leave, Lianhua covered her mouth with a small fan painted with ghosts from hell.

At night, the Jianghanguan Building rang ten o'clock in the evening. Qiu Zhi, Lianhua, and Kong Bing took a rickshaw along the river to Yima Street in the Russian Concession.

Above the Hankou Water Tower, Bai Xianzhen has the whole of Hankou in his eyes.

"Tonight, how about letting me go to the Russian Concession with my brother?" Cheng Fu stood on the edge of the water tower, blowing in the cold wind, and pressed his bamboo hat.

"No need." Bai Xianzhen's long hair tied behind him fluttered in the wind.

"We're waiting here, brother."

"Okay." Bai Xianzhen said, and he stepped on and fell down the Hankou Water Tower.

Qiu Zhi and the three arrived at Yima Street, and Lianhua led them into a heavily guarded bungalow.The Russians searched them all before entering.They found cigarettes and matches in the pocket of Qiu Zhi's foreign suit, and a candy on Kong Bing's body.As for Lianhua, who was wearing an embroidered gown, she had nothing but clothes and a fan in her hand.

"Please, Mr. Hua." The foreigner greeted him.

Three points were released, and the foreigners brought them into the bungalow.The bungalow is round in shape and empty inside, but there are five doors, on which are written "wood, fire, earth, gold, and water".

They enter the word "fire".

The small room can only stand five people, obviously there are other institutions.

Four people entered, and the foreign host closed the door.The machine began to rotate, and their bodies slowly went underground. After 5 minutes, the machine stopped, and the foreigner opened the door. There was a passage in front of him, and he didn't know where this passage led.

After walking for a while, they entered a room whose walls were covered with all kinds of monster masks.

"The three of you, please choose your favorite mask to wear." The foreign host said, and then put on the uniform black mask of the casino host.

Lianhua took a fox mask and put it on, and Kong Bing took a gu carving mask and put it on.As for Qiu Zhi, he took a gluttonous mask and put it on his face.

After putting on the mask, after a while, a man wearing a dragon mask came in from another door.Beside him, there were five men and women who looked like exiled immortals without masks and with cold weapons around their waists.

Qiu only saw at a glance that these five men and women were monsters who turned into people.In the world, only they can have such looks.

"I heard that Mr. Hua brought me new guests." Under the mask, the black-haired man turned his gaze to Qiu Zhi and Kong Bing.

"Mr. Nine and Mr. Sickness." Here, no one will use their real names.Lianhua continued, "This is the steward of the Fifth Execution Ground, known as Steward Lan."

The monster behind Lan Guanshi handed the two decks of cards to Qiu Zhi and Kong Bing, and they took them. Lan Guanshi said: "These are the cards given to the two guests by the owner of the Fifth Execution Ground."

"Thank you." Qiu Zhi said.

"I wish you two have fun tonight." After speaking, he left with the five men and women behind him.At this time, Qiu only realized that the five people were wearing shackles on their feet.

After Lan Guanshi left, the foreign host continued to lead the three of them into a door.

When they stepped in, everything inside came into view.There were lights and lights inside. They stood on the circular high platform, looking down from the platform, a huge circular underground field appeared in front of them.There are multi-compartment rooms on the high platform, and there are guests with extraordinary identities in each compartment. Once these guests take off their masks, they will become prominent figures in Wuhan.

The foreign host took them to one of the compartments.Along the way, people wearing monster masks passed them by.When a familiar scent of peach blossoms came towards them, Qiu only saw a man wearing a unicorn mask passing by them. Under the floating light, he saw the lantern earrings on the other's ears.

Suddenly, he stretched out his hand to hold the opponent's hand, but the opponent avoided it cleverly.

The man wearing the lantern earring turned his head and glanced at Qiu before continuing on.

Qiu only stopped to look at the back of Bai Xianzhen leaving.

"Mr. Jiu?" the foreigner greeted.

"Nothing." After finishing speaking, they continued to follow the foreign host.

There are many compartments on the roundabout, until they were taken into one of them.After the foreign waiter caught a leprechaun floating in the room, the leprechaun let out a scream, and then his body inflated, and his body began to light up, illuminating the small compartment.

It turned out that the floating lights floating everywhere were fairies who were captured and raised to be enslaved.
