Qi Yao Inn

"That's right," Dou Tu's eyes lit up, and he stepped out of the house in two or three steps, "Disciple! Quickly help me figure out who took my conch!"

Huang Yi had just finished divination for Squirrel Girl, put away a few red notes, and replied without looking up: "500 yuan, the same price."

Dou Tu: "...I am your master."

Huang Yi: "Professor and disciple, settle accounts clearly."

Dou Tu showed an expression of indescribable pain, he took out the five hundred grandpa in grief, and handed it to him tremblingly: "Help me do the math..."

"Understood." Huang Yi quickly put away the money, turned out several copper coins with a flick of his wrist, and held them all in the palm of his hand. The palms of both hands were placed on the table, and they were quickly staggered, and the copper coins fell on the table with a jingle. Spread out, and all spin around.

Unexpectedly, before the copper coins were finished spinning, three little yellow fairies suddenly sprang out from under his chair. These three were playing with some rare toy, vying for each other, stretching out their short claws to grab it.

Huang Yi glanced down, then fell silent for a while, and put away all the copper coins that were still spinning: "I don't think it's necessary to forget."

Dou Tu wondered, "Why?"

Huang Yi pouted at the little yellow fairies, and the three raised their heads to look at him one after another. One of them came up reluctantly, raised its paw, and handed him the things hidden in its bosom.

Huang Yi took the conch: "Here, your voice transmission."

Dou Tu: "..."

There was nothing wrong with it, Li Yize only asked the people "inside" the inn, not the people "outside" the inn.

The little yellow fairies raised their heads to look at a certain fairy, shook their heads in unison, and resolutely hid under the chair again. Doutu's face was distorted, and he shouted: "Money back!"

Huang Yi picked up a small rattle at the corner of the table, shook his head and yelled: "Divination, fortune-telling... divination of marriage, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, no need for money."

Dou Tu lost 500 yuan in vain, and his heart was more broken than Xu Bing's image of himself in his mind. He clutched the culprit's Qianli Voice Transmission in a trance, and said angrily: "My one month salary... Only 3000 yuan..."

Qian Yue, who was making tea, raised his head when he heard the words, and at the same time, his boss and wife gave him a look of "Your treatment in the fairy world is really bad".

Dou Tu wiped his face exhaustedly, held up the voice transmission for thousands of miles, and said weakly: "My apprentice Ajia, please reply when you hear it. I am very worried about your safety. No matter where you are, I will definitely reply when you hear it." message me."

His voice was recorded in the conch, as to whether it was heard by Shan Jia, it is unknown.Dou Tu collapsed on the sofa exhausted: "Aidou, is there any reward for helping you fight against the evil forces?"

Peng Yu looked at his poor face with disgust, and said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, it depends on your performance."

Dou Tu touched Qianli Transsion's hands again and handed it in: "I really don't know how to face him. If he sends a message back, please explain the current situation to him for me. It's troublesome."

Holding the conch, Li Yize still felt that something was a little weird. He listened to it again, but he still didn't hear the voice, but he could vaguely hear the sound of the waves.

He was no longer a naive little dragon who believed that "the sound of the sea can be heard in the conch", so he showed a puzzled expression and said to himself: "It's strange...the pangolin will be in the sea?"

However, when he went to listen again, there was no sound in the conch again, and he looked at Doutu in a daze: "Is this thing reliable? Isn't it broken?"

"How is that possible?" Dou Tu was still trying to restore the dignity of the fairy world, "This is a fairy weapon, it has been added with fairy magic, so it's not so easy to break."

Even though he said that, he was really confused. Looking at the deductions they made of salary, he knew how miserable the fairy world has been in these years. In the past 2000 years, the demon world has grown stronger and stronger, just like the sun is rising, but the fairy world has stagnated. It can even be regarded as a decline.

It is impossible to say that the great war did not affect the fairy world, but the main reason is... There are more and more "cute pet lovers" in the world, monsters can win people's love by showing off their cuteness, From then on, they have no worries about food and clothing, delicious food and drink, and can increase their cultivation base. Whether they are sent away by the shit-shoveling officer or sent away by the shit-shoveling officer depends on their mood.

Who would have thought that the "weak" human beings back then have become an important factor in determining the survival of the other two worlds.

Really unpredictable.

Boss Peng, who is the best among the "weak and small humans", led his family's big monsters across the three realms on the road to fight against the evil forces. Until the day of departure, the thousands of miles of sound transmission in Doutu still did not receive any news.

So Xu Bing was even more sure that the elder brother was captured alive. He was frightened all the way, muttering words, saying that he must save the elder brother from the fire and water, and condemning those smugglers righteously, to bring them to justice. Law.

Li Yize was so noisy that he wanted to throw him off his back many times, but seeing the sky below, he had no choice but to endure it, and simply cast a silence spell to shut up the three master and apprentice.

They didn't want to startle the snake this time. After all, the news Peng Yu received was only suspicion, without conclusive evidence. As for what Xu Bing said, it was even more random speculation. Proof that his disappearance must have something to do with it.

Bailong quietly sneaked into Nantong Province - this is the southernmost province, although it is prosperous, but because it borders the outside world, various smuggling cases also emerge in endlessly.Nanming, the provincial capital, has countless underground black markets. If one is destroyed, there are thousands of others waiting behind.

Human beings are unable to supervise illegal activities, and the same is true for the demon world. This is the jurisdiction of the Suzaku Clan—it is said that the origin of the name "Nanming" is related to the Suzaku Clan. Turning back, and sending out a sharp call signal, both demons and people can hear very clearly. Over time, people named the city after "Nanming".

However, now that the population is increasing, the sky is no longer purely the domain of birds. The Suzaku tribe has gradually withdrawn the practice of patrolling the territory in order not to collide with the "big birds" that people carry passengers and cause accidents. Xiang Rijian directly led to a precipitous decline in the supervision of the demon world. They wanted to make up for it, but they were powerless.

In the past, Li Yize complained that there were too many birds in the Suzaku tribe, but now it seems... there are more people than birds.

After the few people landed in Nanming, Peng Yu made a phone call, and within 10 minutes Zhu Li had appeared in front of him with two people from his clan—these guys were flirty when they were in bird form, and even more flirtatious than birds when they turned into humans. It is always light, as if it can fly with a little tiptoe.

Zhu Li didn't talk about business when he came up, but greeted Peng Yu excitedly, and volunteered to help them find a hotel to stay in. Then he gathered everyone together, cleared his throat, and started to get down to business.

The two tribesmen he brought were arranged to watch at the door, and Zhu Li took the lead in setting up a soundproof enchantment: "There are many black markets in Nanming, and [-] to [-]% of them are engaged in illegal transactions related to demons. According to the information provided by Ms. Chen I searched for the information and indeed found a very suspicious place.”

"Miss Chen" was the person who called Peng Yu that day. Zhu Li took out his mobile phone and showed them some photos: "This is right here. There are very few people coming in and out. But we found that a considerable part of the guests who go in during the day will not come out in a short time, but stay in the billiard hall for one night or even two or three days, and some even go in and never come out again Pass."

Peng Yu picked up the phone and swiped through the photos one by one, but he didn't see any tricks - on the surface it looked like an ordinary billiard hall, but the scale was slightly larger, which seemed more formal.

"I believe very few people would play billiards all night, so what these people are doing inside is quite doubtful." Zhu Li said, "And the main reason we are eyeing here is not this, but this place It's very evil, we can occasionally feel the evil spirit coming out of it, but the time is usually very short, and it will disappear within a few minutes."

Peng Yu raised his head to look at him, and found that he used the same word as Miss Chen - evil door.

"Also, there seems to be some kind of formation or enchantment that shields black magic. After several of my clansmen transform into human forms, they will fail as long as they approach the billiard hall within a radius of 200 meters, so they never dare to get too close I was able to enter in human form, but once I entered, I felt a very strong sense of oppression, which made me basically unable to cast other spells except maintaining the human form."

Peng Yu was surprised and said, "Even you feel that the spell is being suppressed? What's in it?"

Zhu Li sighed: "Although I have been promoted to the Vermillion Bird God, the current God is just like that. In fact, my cultivation base is not as high as Chang Ze - I think if it is him, I should be able to handle it with ease."

Li Yize heard this flattery that was not regarded as flattery, and said "uh": "If this is the case, it will be even more strange. Only when the cultivation level is higher than you will make you feel oppressed, but the cultivation level must be higher than you. It's a big monster, since it's so powerful, how can we not feel the existence of monster energy?"

"That's what I'm talking about," Zhu Li frowned, "that's why I called that place 'evil gate', no matter how well it conceals its evil aura, once it encounters someone whose cultivation level is equal to or higher than it, it will still be 100% You will reveal your secrets. At present, you are recognized as the number one cultivator in the demon world. When we came here, we passed by there. Did you feel a strong demon aura?"

"No," Li Yize replied without hesitation, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, not knowing what to think of, "Speaking of...the 'Qingqi' we met in the Baiwei Hotel before, didn't notice the existence of evil spirit, And that thing is not a powerful monster at all..."

Peng Yu rubbed his chin: "You mean, these two places use the same method to hide the evil spirit? But there is a distance of [-] miles between them, can they really be related?"

"I don't know, I just have an intuition." Li Yize shook his head, and said to Zhu Li, "You continue."

Zhu Li: "After I sneaked in, although I knew this place must be wrong, I just couldn't find where it was wrong. It's that kind of feeling... I know you killed someone, but I just can't find any evidence of your murder. .”

"Everything in the billiards hall looks normal. I pretended to play billiards and stayed there for a long time, and found that there were always people watching me. The first time I went, I was not too closely watched. After the second or third time, Almost every movement of mine has to be monitored, and when I make a phone call, they will secretly record it with a voice recorder. I felt that something would happen if I continued, so I hurried out and didn’t go in rashly.”

"Indeed," Peng Yu thought for a while, "You just said that many people go in during the day and don't come out at night, so is it more likely that there is something wrong with the night show?"

Zhu Li nodded: "I think so too, so every time I go in in the evening and come out late at night, or a little later, but I haven't found any signs of illegal transactions there, the billiard hall is just billiards Even if there is no one in the hall at night, will it become something else."

"It's just..." he said, "sometimes people are asked to go by the staff there, they leave through a special door, and then never come back. I tried to get close to that door, but the result I was stopped, saying that this is a special channel for VIPs, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter."

Peng Yu: "Vip?"

Zhu Li seemed to know what he wanted to ask, and said: "I asked, and there is no VIP card in the billiard hall, so this VIP is definitely not a VIP in the normal sense. I also observed those who were brought into the passage, It was found that they were playing billiards well before they entered, and they followed the staff out of nowhere."

There was a sense of inexplicability in his tone, and even the few people present were also inexplicable. Xu Bing said to Doutu tremblingly: "It's over, it's over, if senior brother falls into their hands, he must die." Crap."

Peng Yu wondered whether you wanted to curse him or curse him, Li Yize turned his head and glanced at the three master and apprentice, motioning them to shut up, and said to Zhu Li: "Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times, why don't I go and see for myself."

"It's fine," Zhu Li said, "but don't go in for the time being. They're getting stricter and stricter. There are many people watching the door every day. Maybe something big will happen in the near future."

Li Yize agreed and was about to get up when Zhu Li added: "I won't go with you guys, I guess they are their key surveillance target, it's too obvious."

So the two didn't even take their master and apprentice with them. They rented a car temporarily and drove to the billiard hall they said-the hotel they stayed in was not far from there. Go to the billboards in the billiard hall, which are very ostentatious. Because it is daytime and the neon lights are not on, it is estimated to be more eye-catching at night.

"Sure," Peng Yu parked the car in front of a bank not far away, "In high-end clubs, those who do black work dare to be so arrogant, they have the confidence."

Li Yize cast his gaze through the sunscreen of the car window, and sure enough, he saw a lot of people walking up and down at the entrance of the billiard hall, occasionally whispering to each other, and he sensed it: "This place is already within 200 meters, I can really feel a little There's an 'aura', but it's far from oppressive."

Hearing what he said, Peng Yu felt relieved, as long as the other party didn't have a monster whose cultivation was higher than his own dragon, the difficulty of the dungeon would have dropped several levels.He reached out and gently touched the hearing aid on his ear, and used the Bluetooth function to contact Zhu Li in the hotel: "Hello? We're here."

Li Yize looked at the billiard hall intently, and his ears moved slightly: "I didn't feel any obvious evil spirit, but there is definitely an underground floor in this place, and the specific internal structure is unclear. There may be something shielding, like A membrane."

"This is really an 'underground' black market," Peng Yu said, "You can't see anything from the outside, why don't you go in and have a look?"

This guy seems to have forgotten Zhu Li's warning to them not to go in.

"Don't worry." Li Yize turned his gaze around the billiard hall, "If there are live pangolins nearby, I can try to contact them. If they don't respond to me, it means there are no pangolins here at all, or already dead."

When he said this, he had already transmitted the signal in a special way. Anyway, Peng Yu couldn't hear him, so he had to wait on the sidelines.

The weather here in Nanming is suitable, and it can be [-] to [-] degrees in December. When Peng Yu came here, he was dressed a little too much. Now he couldn't help but roll up his sleeves to expose his arms.

After about ten minutes, Li Yize said disappointedly: "No response—let's go, Zhu Li is right, it's not wise to go in hastily, we'd better be prepared to come again, so as not to startle the snake."

Peng Yu nodded, and started the car again to return the same way, but at this moment, Li Yize's face suddenly changed: "Wait a minute."

"what happened?"

"...There is a response."
