The ghost town is an alliance of thirty-six small gangs. Many of these gangs are not popular, such as the Shovel Gate that digs soil, the Minggu Gate that robs tombs, the Xiaoli Gate that steals and cheats, the Beast Gang that specializes in selling livestock, and those that help people exorcise ghosts. The concept of the three immortals of madness and so on. The alliance formed by these small gangs did not dare to have a too loud name, so they called it the Southeast Ghost Alliance.
The ghost town is a dark market jointly run by the Thirty-Six Gang, with no less than 3,000 underworld people coming and going every day. Anything stolen from people who were killed or stolen can be bought and sold on the street here. It is not uncommon for people to buy and sell slaves, hire evildoers to kill and kidnap, etc.
Luo Fan dressed in black and covered his face, rode a horse and rushed to the entrance of the ghost town.
At the entrance of the ghost town, there are hundreds of demons in black and white robes and masks with ghost heads watching over them. Seeing a fast horse galloping forward, a group of people immediately pulled up a wooden fence to block the road.
Luofan came close, reined in his horse and stopped.
The leader of the group of monsters wears a devil mask. Dressed in black, he has a demonic pestle in one hand, an iron fork in the other, a mahogany sword on his back, and a Bagua mirror hanging on his waist. He looks like a ghost or Tao, and looks neither fish nor fowl.
The evil ghost looked at Luofan, jumped on his hands and feet, and screamed like a devil: "The sky opens, and the immortals come in. The earth opens, and the ghosts come out! It's the immortals, it's the ghosts! It's the guests, it's the enemies!"
This is the incision of the King of Hell's Ghost Town. Anyone who can tell it is the one in their alliance. Otherwise, you will have to explain your details, pay the fee, and be shown the door. And this incision is changed every month. If you are not a member of the family, you will naturally not know.
Luofan was pressed for time and didn't want to delay, so he took out a stack of banknotes and threw them into the air: "I am the God of Wealth!"
Seeing those banknotes, everyone scrambled frantically. Luofan rode his horse and jumped in.
Ye Tan followed behind and saw Luo Fan entering the Ghost Town of the King of Hell. He frowned and said, "This is a dangerous place. I am a prince of the dynasty, and my identity is too eye-catching! I don't have his Qinggong. I might not be able to resist him if I go in. It's better to wait for him." Come out."
Luofan ran all the way, without caring about the crowds on the street, and went straight to the foot of the Tulin Mountain where Shovel Gate was located.
Arriving at the foot of Tulin Mountain, the horses were already foaming from exhaustion and panting. I knew that this horse would be useless when I returned. Luofan spent money to buy a fast horse at the inn at the foot of the mountain.
Come to Shovel Gate and take a look in front of the mountain gate. It is surrounded by tall wooden fences on all sides, and there are more than a dozen civil-built observation towers inside. It is heavily guarded inside and outside and is closely guarded. It’s not surprising that people from the underworld often have uninvited guests, so they naturally have to be more careful.
Seeing outsiders coming, several disciples wearing coarse linen clothes came forward to question them. Luofan still uses the title of "Big Thief King Kong Monkey" and pays one thousand taels of gold to meet Li Zijiao, the master of the Shovel Sect. It is rare for this small sect of ramming earth and digging holes to see such a big bank note. Knowing that a distinguished guest was coming, he rushed to inform him. After a while, Luofan was respectfully invited in.
Luofan was led through the door, and there were hundreds of earthen houses with similar appearances scattered along the way. There are no signs or street signs around these mud houses. If you don't have extraordinary eyesight, it will really seem like you are in a maze. I thought that it was true that I was a master of playing with earth, and this earth house could be built into a palace.
The disciples of the Shovel Sect were not very rich in their clothing. Most of them wore coarse linen clothes, with shovels attached to their waists, and looked poor. Come to think of it, if you can join Shovel Gate and learn how to dig holes, how many children from rich families can you have? The disciples who are training in several places are mostly practicing darts and short blades, and they are also good at assassination.
Come to a large courtyard at the back. Unlike the earthen hut outside, this one is an imposing two-story mahogany building. When you walk into the lobby, you will find bright red carpets, elegant columns, and neat blue bricks. The master of the Shovel Sect, Li Zijiao, was sitting on a wooden platform covered with tiger skin, holding two iron knots in his hands, and he also had a mighty aura!
Seeing the distinguished guest coming to the hall, Li Zijiao sat astride the tiger skin and only glanced sideways. This can be regarded as the routine of Jianghu. First, he gives pressure to the guests who come to the door, and shows off his style as the master of the house. This can be regarded as the guest does not overwhelm the host.
Luo Fan also took a look. This old man was in his fifties, with a short and fat build and a big black beard. He was wearing a yellow silk dress, a pair of gold brocade boots, and a steel shovel on his waist! Xin said, this old man is well dressed, but he looks like a landowner in the village. Sure enough, digging tunnels just doesn't have the same temperament as flying in the sky.
Both sides looked at each other, and Li Zijiao shouted majestically: "The shovel will level the world, and all rivers and lakes will be connected! I'm Li Zijiao, the master of the Shovel Sect! I wonder what your name is? Are you here to do your job?"
Luo Fan clasped his fists and said, "Junior from the world of martial arts, little thief Vajra Monkey. I'm here this time, and I have something important to ask for help from my senior. If the sect master is willing to solve the problem, I will thank him in large sums of money."
Li Zijiao frowned. What this world fears most is simple things. If it's really simple, can you get a thousand taels of silver in one shot? He rolled his eyes, played with the iron knot in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said calmly: "But it doesn't matter!"
Luofan: "A friend of mine is getting married today. The sedan passed by the gate of Jianguan City, but was captured by the flower-picking thief Hong Menglang who set up a hole in the ground! Hong Menglang is used to flying to the sky, but this time he burrowed into a hole to act. The predecessor is a soil man. You, the Overlord of the Middle Kingdom, should know the secret of this. I wonder if you can help me?"
Li Zijiao's heart tightened, and he thought it was because of this! After looking at Luofan for a few more times, he already doubted Luofan's identity. The Thief Diamond Monkey has been heard of, but no one knows its appearance. The guy who came to investigate this case must be either an agent of the Tiandu Dynasty or a friend of Ji Guanji's family!
Li Zijiao looked gloomy and sat back on the tiger skin couch, his attitude no longer as polite as before.
With a straight face, he said indifferently: "Oh! Hong Menglang has arrested someone? What does this have to do with my Shovel Gate. Shovel Gate only moves mountains and digs soil, and does not interfere with other things! Please come back!"
Seeing Li Zijiao's change of expression, Luo Fan twirled a huge 10,000 taels of silver note between his fingers and said calmly: "This is a 10,000 tael silver note. As long as the door owner says a word, I will give it to the door owner for tea! The rules of the world , the word "righteousness" comes first. Both the gangster and the white gang despise the flower-picking thief. I guess the sect master doesn't need to protect him, right? If you can tell me the clues, I will give you a double gift after I rescue my friend! Please don't do it, senior. Help each other.”
Li Zijiao glanced at the 10,000 taels of silver notes and tightened his grip! I didn't expect this young man to be so bold and arrogant. He raised his hand with ten thousand taels of silver notes! These ten thousand taels are enough for their Shovel Gate to earn for several years! Who else could make such a big move if it wasn't the Ji family, a wealthy family in Jianguan!
However, what I do with Shovel Door is the business of digging and chamfering walls. If Hong Menglang is betrayed, no one will dare to do anything to him in the future. Moreover, Hong Menglang is so good at Qinggong that if he comes to trouble him later, he may not be able to bear it. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Hong Menglang is a real villain!
After some thought, Li Zijiao made up his mind. Fluttering his sleeves, he said angrily: "Well! I'm too old to help you! I'm sorry for not accompanying you, but please do it!"
Seeing that Li Zijiao was so ignorant of praise, Luo Fan turned cold and threatened: "Oh, senior is really so heartless. Then I won't cover it up anymore. You know that Hong Menglang robbed the daughter-in-law of the Ji family, but you still dare to cover it up. Look. It seems that you are more afraid of that little thief Hong Menglang than the Ji family. In this way, you are not afraid that the fifty thousand swordsmen at Sword Gate will raze your shovel gate to the ground!"
Li Zijiao slapped the couch angrily, believing that he was protected by the Black and White Alliance and was not afraid of the Tiandu Dynasty. Holding the iron gall in his hand, he pointed at Luo Fan and shouted: "Hmph! Threaten me! Do you think my shovel door can be easily controlled by others? If you dare to be presumptuous again, be careful and you will leave without your life! Get out!"
Seeing that the old man Li Zijiao was so stupid. Luofan couldn't force him, for fear that if he really took action, he would delay the important task of saving people. He thought to himself that since Li Zijiao wouldn't help, he could only get information from his apprentice. He snorted coldly and turned to leave.
As soon as he walked out of the door, a girl in a pink dress and a silver hoop with long hair came towards her. She was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.
When the girl saw Luofan, she asked casually: "Dad! Who is this?"
When he heard that this woman was Li Zijiao's daughter, Luo Fan's eyes turned fierce and he held the woman hostage in his hand!
Li Zijiao was startled, jumped up, pointed at Luofan and yelled: "What do you want to do? You little beast dares to run wild on my territory, don't you want to live anymore!"
Luo Fan took Li Zijiao's daughter hostage and quickly hid against the wall of the courtyard. When the disciples saw that the young lady had been arrested, they hurriedly surrounded her with knives and shovels!
Li Zijiao chased her into the courtyard and shouted angrily: "You little bastard, let my daughter go, or I will chop you into pieces!"
Luo Fan said coldly and disdainfully: "Humph! If you refuse to save her even if she is dead, then I want to see if you want to save your own daughter!"
After saying that, Luo Fan took out his dagger and stabbed the little girl's chest twice, causing blood to stain her pink skirt.
The little girl was stabbed and couldn't help crying: "Daddy, help me! Daddy, help me!"
Li Zijiao's angry face was ferocious, and the iron gall in his hand made a crunching sound, but he did not speak for a moment.
Seeing Li Zijiao's silence, Luo Fan's cold eyes were cruel and he said deliberately: "It seems that in the heart of Clan Master Li, the life of the flower-picking thief is more valuable than his own daughter. If so, then I will kill her with my next blow." His face!"
