"I didn't expect there to be a place like this under Jichun City."
The black widow wore her white clothes, with the veil hanging down on her hood, covering her beautiful appearance, walking in a dark cave.
This catacomb is directly below Jinchun City, and is led down from the entrance of a very inconspicuous broken house. It is winding and winding, spanning hundreds of feet, with all kinds of forces living in it. It is almost an underground town.
Half of it is natural and half is man-made. It was dug out by those forces in need.
There are similar places where dirt and evil gather under the ground of many large cities, and even Yunzhou is no exception. In other words, there are more caves like this in Yunzhou, because the gray forces on the ground have limited living space and have to go "underground" in the physical sense.
This underground power gathering place is extremely hidden, and it is almost impossible for outsiders to find it without the introduction of an acquaintance. But Black Widow is not an ordinary person. She has been in the underworld for a long time, and it is not difficult to find a place like this.
If there is any difference between Spring City's catacombs and other places, it is that it is quite narrow and cold.
The reason for being narrow is that although the land here is not as good as the permafrost in the far north ice sheet, it is covered with frost for most of the year. Vernal changes in water, thermal expansion and contraction, etc. are also very troublesome. Excavation projects are extremely difficult, so it is difficult to widen it. Only narrow and long ones are used to connect more exits and achieve the purpose of "three cunning rabbit burrows".
Speaking of cold, even though it is only early autumn, the rocks underground have already begun to frost, the tentacles are cold, and a chill penetrates into the bones.
The Black Widow walked like Tingting, as if she could not bear the cold, and was very delicate. There were no prying eyes around her, but they all turned to her and immediately turned away - this woman was not a prey. Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, and no one can hide the smell.
Walking casually through an ordinary cave, Black Widow pushed against an inconspicuous stone wall, opened a secret door, and stepped in. After the door was closed, various "tsk-tsk" sounds came from the darkness.
"Hey, there's a new guy here."
Behind the secret door is a stone room, which is very wide considering the size of this cave. The surrounding stone walls are smooth, embedded with copper lamps, and the floor is paved with ceramic tiles. It is considered a "fine decoration" here.
On the wall facing the stone house, there are densely packed nameplates, like the menu of a hotel. There is a person sitting under the nameplate. In the dark, all he can see is that there are several wounds on his face. It looks very scary, but his eyes are very bright.
"Not new."
Black Widow walked over at her own pace and sat across from him, "I am your VIP guest, and I also have the identity of a hunter."
The man laughed strangely and said: "To us and Chuncheng, we are just newcomers. Chuncheng is not big, and there are a lot of people who come and go. In the past, we could not see a single new person in a year. There have been too many new people recently. But you are an exception. No one recommended you. The fact that you found this place shows that you are a capable person. Tell me, do you want to buy or sell?" His voice was also hoarse and unpleasant, as if his throat had been pulled by a knife.
Black Widow smiled calmly and said: "Sell, sell my skills, I have to do a mission. I heard that the price in Chuncheng is very reasonable."
The man chuckled and said: "I know what you want to do, you are all the same. You are very picky about selling, but you refuse to tell me directly. You came too late, a good deal has been sold out, you just The best thing to do is settle for the next best thing. The third one from the left at the top, is this what you are looking for?"
Black Widow raised her head, her eyes lit up when she saw the beginning, and said: "The shopkeeper knows me."
The man took off the sign with a long pole, handed it to the black widow, and asked her to read the introduction on the back carefully, and said: "I know you people very well. People who come here these days, don't worry about beating around the bush. , in the end we must go up to Jiugao Mountain. We have to do the task of going up the mountain. There are actually a lot of these tasks recently, but there are more people grabbing them. This is the last task to gather hunters to climb Jiugao Mountain from the West Pass. If you accept, I’ll give you one hundred taels of silver and one hundred points of chips.”
Black Widow frowned and said: "It's too much pressure. What task is worth so much pressure on?"
The scar-faced man smiled grimly, as if he was laughing at her clumsy way of saying things.
Black Widow was not discouraged and said: "There is a team at the west mountain pass, so there is also a team at the east mountain pass, right?"
The scar-faced man said: "You asked too many questions. The rule of thumb is that you don't ask too many questions."
Black Widow raised her lips slightly and said: "The rules of the devil's grinding are not to be asked in vain, right? I spend money to buy information, why not?"
The scar-faced man said: "Intelligence can be bought, except for confidential information. The client of this mission paid a lot of money to keep us secret, and there is no way you can pay his price. You pay a hundred taels of gold, and I will give you my I’ll tell you everything I can tell you.”
Black Widow looked at him blankly, as if she wanted to scratch his face a few more times, and said after a while: "I'm out." After saying that, she threw a purse on the table, "One hundred taels of gold tickets."
The scar-faced man stretched out his slender fingers, pulled out the golden ticket from his purse, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Very good. Let me tell you. There is more than one team going up the mountain in the past few days. Southeast They are all in the northwest. Jiugao Mountain is like a sieve, full of loopholes. As for the client, there is more than one, and even our own team organized a team. I am the leader of that team. That’s all I can say. Take it. Let’s get on with the mission.”
Black Widow was silent and said: "If I issue a mission to kill people in a certain team, will you accept it?"
The scar-faced man was speechless and said, "Are you going to kill people? Turn left when you go out and go to the King of Hell's Store."
Black Widow gave a short laugh and sat still.
Scarface said: "Is there anything else?"
Black Widow stretched out her hand, and on her jade-white palm lay a big, furry, dark spider: "Yes. I think you should return the money to me."
After that, he smiled brightly.
Thick fog, so thick fog.
The fog in the mountains came as soon as possible, and in an instant it was as thick as milk. No one could be seen three steps away, and the car behind could only vaguely see the shadow of the car in front.
Thanks to Mrs. Huarong's well-trained sons, the carts moved forward slowly one after another. At this time, we can only rely on the animals pulling the cart to tread the ground with their hooves. If we are not careful, the mule and cart will inevitably fall off a cliff.
After walking for a while, suddenly, the fog cleared and the vision suddenly became clear.
The mist came and dispersed just as quickly. When I said it was clear, it dispersed completely.
Yun Xiyan and the others suddenly discovered that they had arrived at a mountain col. The surrounding vegetation is lush, and the grass underground is like a thick blanket, soft and comfortable to step on.
There is another stream flowing slowly through the mountain col. There is a round arch stone bridge on the stream, and a row of pavilions have been built near the stream for people to take a rest.
"This is the Runcao Ferry!" Yun Xiyan jumped out of the car and stepped on the grass, saying, "The strange road is called the Runcao Ferry. The grass is indeed very moist."
Mrs. Huarong told her adopted sons to gather their cars and rush to the pavilion to gather together so as not to hinder traffic.
The young man was busy unloading the animals. Mrs. Huarong picked a grass leaf and said with a smile: "Jade is in the mountains and the grass and trees are moist, and pearls are born in the abyss but the cliffs are not withered. This name has a good meaning, but it is a bit difficult to pronounce. This is a small soup. You should get up. He studies a lot, so he just needs a book bag."
The academic scumbag Yun Xiyan seemed to understand, and said with a dry smile: "He has studied a lot, I think the name is quite nice."
The seven young men driving the carriage have already unloaded the carriage and stood in a row in front of the carriage. Headed by the gentle young man in the lead carriage, they lowered their hands and waited for Mrs. Huarong's signal.
The seven of them are all teenagers, the older is no more than 20 years old, and the younger is still tying up their hair. They all have different temperaments, some are gentle, some are cool, some are sunny, some are proud, each has their own outstanding appearance, and they all have tall and tall figures. They were lined up in a row and were pleasing to the eye. Yun Xiyan looked at them several times and was amazed in his heart. Mrs. Huarong smiled and said, "I'm sitting with the eldest sister. You can find a place to sit down."
With that said, he took Yun Xiyan to the pavilion.
When we arrived at the pavilion, we could see that several pavilions were already occupied. There was an old woman sitting in the pavilion closest to the side, holding a white porcelain tureen and sipping tea.
The two of them were going to sit and wait in an empty pavilion, but the old woman happened to look sideways, saw the two of them, smiled and waved.
When Yun Xiyan saw such an elderly senior actively waving, he couldn't help but walk over. Mrs. Huarong seemed to be fine and walked forward with a smile.
Entering the pavilion, I saw that the old woman had already stood up. She looked like she was in her fifties or sixties, and her appearance was not very old. Her hair was gray, her temperament was graceful, her dress was not luxurious but very decent, her smile was gentle and kind, which made people feel like spring breeze.
Yun Xiyan glanced at the old woman, then at Mrs. Huarong, and was even more impressed, thinking: Although time is cruel, it also brings gifts. How can I compare to such a temperament? She must be of high status. He saluted and said, "Junior Yun Xiyan has met my senior."
Just now on the road, she and Mrs. Huarong tried it out, but they couldn't get her name. But when they saw the old woman, they felt so admired that they signed up directly.
The old woman smiled and said: "What a handsome girl, she shows off her talents. Come and sit here."
The two women sat in the old woman's pavilion, but the other seven adopted sons found an empty pavilion to sit on their own.
The seven people seemed to be sitting down casually, but their positions were orderly and vaguely organized, sealing off all angles. If there is an enemy attack outside, the seven people can react very quickly and deliver fatal blows from all directions.
Although the seven of them were familiar with each other and cooperated tacitly, no one sat in the same booth and chatted, as if they were strangers. After a while, a young man in Tsing Yi came into the pavilion to pour tea at Runcaodu.
The rest of the people were silent, except for the gentle young man at the end of the car who smiled and said, "Don't bother, we won't be eating or drinking outside."
The young man who poured the tea was a little embarrassed, so he withdrew. The gentle young man suddenly said: "Sitting here is boring. There are refreshments in the car, I'll get them." After that, he left the pavilion alone.
He walked behind the car and, using the cover of the cart, glared at the person who had just poured the tea. The tea person walked around in a circle, bypassing the visual blind spot in the pavilion, and came to him.
There are vehicles in front of this place and a bridge on the side. The angle between the two forms a secret corner where no outsider can pry.
After confirming that there were no outsiders, the gentle young man suppressed his smile and said coldly: "Weise, you are so brave!"
