Bajimen.
One of the two giants in Zhou's martial arts world, he is as famous as the martial arts league in the world.
However, from the information on Yu Sha Lou, Lu Ming knew that life in the Baji Sect was not a good one.
The martial arts community of the Zhou Kingdom has a close relationship with the imperial court of the Zhou Kingdom. The head of the Holy Sect of the Kingdom: the Original Demon Sect is the queen of the dynasty.
Among the two giants, the World Martial Alliance was established by King Lin.
The East and West factories are even more like lackeys of the royal family.
Four of the top five Jianghu forces are from the royal family...but there is only one Du Miaomiao from the Baji Sect, which can be considered a serious Jianghu sect.
Decades ago, Zhou Zhichang made the decision to enter the martial arts world when he first came to power. Either through coercion or inducement, he vigorously rectified the martial arts world and controlled the raw materials of elixirs necessary for warriors such as Qi-blood pills and poison-removing pills. stand up.
This made it difficult to find any medicine in the martial arts community of Zhou.
The power of the wild warriors has collapsed, but the power of the official warriors is exceptionally strong.
"So, my Sanxiang Gang also helps Baji Sect smuggle raw materials for elixirs, right?"
Lu Ming said this while sipping tea.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yuan shook his head: "It's not that your Sanxiang Gang helped us smuggle the raw materials of the elixir, but that Lu Yao himself is one of ours..."
"Otherwise, how do you think he was promoted to the sixth rank?"
"How do you think your Sanxiang Gang got involved with Prince Lin's Mansion and Heicheng Village?"
When Wei Yuan said this, Lu Ming understood.
Lu Yao rose from Wei Mo... This Wei Mo was really Wei Mo.
It stands to reason that it is almost impossible for him to achieve the sixth level, and it is even harder for him to be related to a behemoth like Prince Lin's Mansion.
But if this matter was caused by Bajimen exerting some force from behind, then everything would be more reasonable.
"Uncle Wei, what are you..."
When Lu Ming asked this question, Wei Yuan smiled bitterly: "You can be considered a spy. I have been practicing martial arts in the Baji Sect since I was a child. However, my talent is limited. After I achieved the sixth rank, I was sent to the imperial court as a spy. After passing the martial arts examination, I Became the lord of this hidden city."
After saying that, Wei Yuan sighed: "It's been more than twenty years."
"Actually, if you think about it, the position of the Lord of the Hidden City is quite good, and Li Tongfang is also a wonderful person. Xuanshui City, a small city in a corner, has less disputes and more peace."
At this point, Wei Yuan smiled faintly at Lu Ming: "I was also a thorn in my side when I was young, but now that I am old, I no longer have any ambitions."
Lu Ming immediately held up his hands and said, "My nephew will definitely keep it secret about today's matter."
To put it bluntly, Wei Yuan, the spy, was almost assimilated by the imperial court.
He will not betray the Baji Sect, but he is too lazy to consider the interests of the Baji Sect, let alone get involved in the affairs of the Baji Sect.
He just wants to take care of himself...even if he is not old.
And if rough methods are not used, there is nothing anyone can do to win over a person who wants to lie down.
After thinking for a while, Lu Ming said directly: "I want to learn the sixth-grade fighting technique. I wonder if you have a channel there, Uncle Wei?"
Wei Yuan took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "Yes, I can contact the Baji Sect."
"Do I need to become an apprentice?"
Wei Yuan nodded and said: "Normally speaking, it is necessary. However, the Baji Sect is in turmoil now, so if it is a sixth-grade skill... you should be able to change it."
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows: "Change?"
"Yes." Wei Yuan nodded and said, "I don't know where you got so many Qi, Blood and Anti-toxic Pills. You are rich enough to give them to your subordinates at will. In short, Baji Sect needs Qi, Blood and Anti-toxic Pills. You need sixth-level fighting skills..."
"There is room for mediation here."
Lu Ming suddenly became speechless...
Isn't this Bajimen too miserable?
Can’t you Bajimen get the Qi-Blood Elixir and Anti-toxic Pill?
Wei Yuan may have seen what Lu Ming was thinking, so he thought for a while and said: "More than ten years ago, the original Demon Sect took away the last medicine field of Baji Sect. Over the years, our Baji Sect has been relying on smuggling to support itself. If the sect master hadn’t reached the third level of skill..."
Speaking of this, Wei Yuan couldn't help but shook his head: "The Zhou Dynasty's court has no intention of leaving a way for Zhou's martial arts to survive."
Surrender or die.
The Zhou family works as coolly as ever.
But these have nothing to do with Lu Ming.
He stood up and solemnly raised his hands to Wei Yuan.
"Then I'll trouble Uncle Wei about this matter."
Wei Yuan smiled and waved his hand: "It's just a small matter."
…
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Lu Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The road between Weiyuan and Bajimen was easier than I expected.
Qi-blood pill and detoxifying pill exchange method...
This deal can be done.
"But the amount must be controlled. A small amount will be fine, but a large amount will cause trouble."
"And the fourth path still has to be taken."
"Developing ten sixth-level skills as soon as possible will greatly improve me."
After a simple weighing, Lu Ming made up his mind.
Let's set off tomorrow.
Because he has never been a lazy person.
While walking, a fire suddenly lit up in the distance, and a group of people wearing official uniforms with long knives on their waists walked from the side road with noisy footsteps.
"Who are you, that one in front? Stop and don't move!"
A slightly arrogant voice came out, and Lu Ming simply stopped.
As the two sides approached, the firelight illuminated each other's faces.
Lu Ming smiled and said to the person in charge.
"Captain Li, we meet again."
The man known as Capt. Li was stunned for a moment, then immediately calmed down the arrogant expression on his face and gave Lu Ming the same hand.
"It turns out to be Gang Leader Lu."
As he said that, he rolled his eyes and smiled slightly: "Relationships are the business of the Lu Gang, but it's the little ones who take advantage of the mice..."
After saying that, he waved his hand to leave with his men... This made Lu Ming stunned.
"Wait a minute, Captain Li, I don't understand what you're saying... I just couldn't sleep tonight, so I went out for a walk, but I didn't do anything shady."
Li Captou opened his mouth, thought for a while, then came closer and whispered to Lu Ming.
"Isn't this what happened to the Wang family done by adults?"
Lu Ming: "???"
"Wang family? Which Wang family?"
"Boss Feng Huilou Wang... The one who came to report to the police at night said he heard screams coming from the palace, so I brought my brothers out to have a look."
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows: "Prince's Mansion, Capt. Li, my Sanxiang Gang doesn't have this kind of business."
Li Captou was startled again when he heard this.
Glancing at Lu Ming's expression, Capt. Li asked quietly: "Isn't this really your order?"
Lu Ming shook his head: "Really not."
Capt. Li nodded immediately.
He waved his hand and shouted loudly to his colleagues behind him: "Let's go to the palace."
A crowd of people passed by Lu Ming. Lu Ming thought about it, but he also stayed behind the officers and soldiers, ready to join in the fun.
After all, there are half as many people as Lu Ming in Xuanshui City now... And the Fenghuilou Wang family is now considered the rich man of the Sanxiang Gang, and they pay a lot of money every month.
If this was done by gangsters, Lu Ming's face would not look good if word spread about it.
…
Initially, Lu Ming didn't take it seriously and just joined in the fun, but when he came near the palace, Lu Ming's expression slowly changed.
The night wind blew in, bringing with it a strong smell of blood...
This level of bloody smell is no small matter.
As a sixth-grade warrior, Lu Ming's five senses were much sharper than those of low-grade warriors. After thinking about it, Lu Ming stepped forward and grabbed Li Captor's head, and said in a deep voice: "Something big has happened."
Li Li was stunned.
Just as the leading official wanted to knock on the door, Li Captou took the lead and kicked open the door of the palace.
Everything that hit his eyes made Li Captou's pupils tremble wildly!
"Ugh~~"
"grass!"
The palace, inside the courtyard.
Corpses were everywhere and blood was smeared on the walls.
A large amount of blood stained the floor tiles, and body parts and internal organs were scattered everywhere.
Capt. Li felt his throat was itchy for a moment, and the bloody scene in front of him made Capt. Li feel a little uncomfortable in his stomach...
Until a figure brushed Li Li's head and walked into the courtyard.
It's Lu Ming.
Looking at everything nearby, Lu Ming soon frowned.
…
The officials suppressed their nausea and searched the entire palace.
In the end, it was determined that all the Wang family, men, women, old and young, had been killed, and none of the servants had escaped.
Moreover, everyone died in a miserable state, and not even a single intact body could be found.
In front of Mr. Wang's corpse, Lu Ming remained silent as he watched Lao Wang whose intestines and internal organs were leaking on the floor, half of his body was gone, and his face was chewed to pieces.
Instead, Capt. Li came forward with a pale face.
"Gang Leader Lu, this matter in the palace is a bit rare."
As an old Captor Li, although Captou Li is only a seventh-level general, he has a lot of experience.
As for the disaster in the palace this time, he had already noticed the troublesome aspects from some details.
"First of all, it will not be a group crime, and no more than five people will do it..."
As soon as Capt. Li finished his first sentence, he was interrupted by Lu Ming: "There is only one person who can take action."
Mr. Li was stunned and his face turned even paler.
Lu Ming ignored him and just said: "Infinite strength, brutal violence, invulnerability. Sixth grade, or even above."
After thinking for a while, he pointed at Lao Wang, who was only half left, and said: "And to be honest, I don't think this was done by a martial artist... This wound was not caused by martial arts at all... More like..."
Lu Ming thought for a while, stretched out his hand and grabbed it twice, and bared his teeth again.
"It's more like it was bitten by a wild animal, and that thing can eat people."
After saying this, Lu Ming thought for a moment, but then shook his head.
"This was not done by humans."
But Capt. Li said in a daze: "It wasn't done by humans? How could it be done by ghosts?"
Lu Ming suddenly smiled strangely: "What? Don't you believe there are ghosts in this world?"
Then he muttered to himself: "I didn't believe it at first..."
But Capt. Li shuddered and did not want to talk too much about ghosts and gods.
Until Lu Ming asked again: "The court should have plans for this kind of thing, right?"
Capt. Li thought for a while and sighed: "Not really..."
"But I have heard from the city lord before that if there is any weird tragedy in Xuanshui City, just tell him directly."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming simply turned around and left.
As he walked, he said: "You can't handle this kind of thing, and I can't handle it either. You have to find professional people to do professional things."
"Report it and ask Li Tongfang to find someone to find out what kind of ghost has gotten into our Xuanshui City."
…
After walking out of the palace, Lu Ming's original good mood completely disappeared.
There are ghosts and immortals in this world, so who knows what else is going on?
And this thing that wiped out the entire Wang family tonight...
"Monster?"
"Or a zombie?"
As soon as such thoughts arose, they were extinguished by Lu Ming.
He shook his head and stopped thinking.
That's not to say that this matter has nothing to do with Lu Ming. Now Lu Ming is the underground emperor of Xuanshui City. If something goes wrong, Lu Ming must take care of it even if he can.
In times of crisis, chaos is required, and only then will chaos have an opportunity.
In peace, stability is needed, and stability can lead to rapid development.
But this monster has entered the city and the zombies are eating people... What do you want me, a gang leader, to do?
What does your court do for food?
There are specialties in the arts, such as killing people, Lu Mingxing, killing demons, ghosts and monsters, etc. Lu Ming is really a little scared.
Besides, the bigger the job, the bigger the responsibility you have to bear.
The people who eat the most in Xuanshui City are not Lu Ming and the Sanxiang Gang.
Just as he was thinking wildly, Lu Mansion had already arrived.
…
Ghetto.
Muffled cries came from the room.
Liu Sanniang cried silently while coaxing the child.
Thinking of what happened to me during the day, I felt even sadder.
Liu Sanniang is Feng Huilou's helper, and she does some daily chores like washing dishes.
Originally, this life was pretty good, but some time ago, there was a battle between the Sanxiang Gang and the Pegasus Gang, and my husband died in the battle.
Now it's hard to get through life.
As an orphan and widower, Liu Sanniang was somewhat pretty, but without her husband, all those bad things would come to her door.
Just today, the son of the palace steward came to visit the building, but because Liu Sanniang took the child to work, half a month's salary was deducted from Liu Sanniang.
Of course, taking care of children is not the main reason. Isn't it because the housekeeper's son has long been coveted for Liu Sanniang's body and is deliberately looking for trouble...
The sadness in my heart flowed out uncontrollably.
I thought of Mao Tiansheng, my young son, and that if I lost this job, I would have to take my child to drink the northwest wind...
Suddenly, the door opened.
The twisted figure slowly walked in from the door.
Seeing this person, Liu Sanniang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and showed a big smile.
"Tian Tian? Are you back?"
"Uh~um~"
It deliberately stood in the darkness of the room, not letting Liu Sanniang see its blood-stained clothes and face.
After a moment, it slowly stretched out its hand and placed a stack of banknotes on the table.
"From now on...don't go to work..."
"I...I support you..."
Liu Sanniang opened her mouth.
She wanted to ask, where did this bank note come from... and where did the smell of blood on you come from...
However, this world will not leave much conscience to the poor.
Hunger and poverty can easily overwhelm everything.
After a long time, Liu Sanniang smiled: "Okay, I will listen to you, the head of the family."
