Different from the Ma Sheng Alley, there are not so many winding and complicated alleys behind the alley where Qianfang is located. The knife shop bought it and opened it up and then covered it up, turning it into a huge enclosed courtyard that cannot be seen or entered from the outside. combination.
Qianfang is naturally the most important and largest part of this courtyard combination. Behind the Qianfang, there are many small courtyards. Some are used for money storage, some are used for rest during shifts, and some are just places for handling special matters. For example, a person who comes to Qianfang to make a fortune but is caught unawares will be tortured in the corner yard behind Qianfang. About purpose, about thousand skills and so on.
In fact, it is these self-proclaimed Thousand Kings who come to the door and are caught that make the desk officials in Qianfang continue to become stronger, because they can absorb new things and grow from generation to generation.
Most people don't need to expend any effort to pry open their mouths. At most, they will be beaten with a board or whipped and then driven away. The unlucky ones will lose a few fingers and lose the ability to use their hands to eat.
But some hard-core people need special means to deal with them slowly. There are not even people who remain silent until they die, but they are just very few.
"Zhentang, this man is very strange. He screamed loudly when he was being tortured, but he refused to say a word when asked. He didn't even ask his name." Zhang Wu's face was ashen. He never expected that he was here The first crook dealt with in Xinqianfang was this kind of tough guy who was rarely seen in ten years. Still kind of weird.
Whips, chili oil, vinegar, soldering iron, and knives. Zhang Wuhui has already used them all. The man didn't utter a word even when he was incontinent. If he hadn't pried open his mouth and found that his tongue was fine inside but he still cried out in pain, Zhang Wuzhen would have thought that the other person was mute.
But by this time, Zhang Wu really had no choice. He lowered his head, angrily and frustratedly confessing to Bai Lang who came over to ask about the situation. He didn't get it right this time.
"Nothing gained at all?"
"If you don't open your mouth, there will be nothing else to gain except some things found on this person. Zhentang, I don't do my job well, please ask the Zhentang to punish me!" Zhang Wu felt guilty. The rules of the swordsmanship are not small. Disadvantages are no small inconvenience. I was particularly worried that the leader of the hall who was not yet warmed up would be fucked off.
Bailang didn't mind. People are not the same. Some people are mud, some people are steel. Although torture was cruel and rough, it also relied on craftsmanship. It's not unusual for him to be unable to open his mouth. It's just a hard time.
"Okay, get up. Bring the things over and let me take a look."
Zhang Wu quickly stood up from the ground and presented a tray to Bai Lang. Said: "Zhentang, these are all the things that guy has on him."
A few pieces of silver, a dagger, a bag of nuts, a piece of copper. That's all.
Zhang Wu had obviously checked these things carefully, so his face looked even more embarrassed. Because he felt that these things were useless, and Bai Zhentang might really think that he was useless later.
But to Zhang Wu's expectation, Bailang didn't just take a few glances and forget about it, but picked up everything and looked at it carefully. Especially the piece of copper, I looked at it for a long time and never put it down.
"Have you seen this kind of copper plate before?" Bailang asked.
"Copper plate? Oh, you are talking about this piece. I have never seen this thing before. It is full of messy carvings, and there is no obvious meaning. It is quite old, and there is a stone inlaid on it. Some are like jade, but there are many colors inside and are not valuable.”
"Huh? Can you read the year of an object?"
"Hehe, a little trick made the town laugh. In the past, there were always people in the money shop who wanted those family heirlooms to replace gambling debts. You can easily distinguish them if you see them more."
"Then can you tell how old this copper plate is?"
"It's almost 150 to 200 years ago." Zhang Wu gave an approximate year. But he added: "Zhentang, although this thing is old, it is worthless and has no relevance. It can only be sold as scrap metal."
Bai Lang waved his hand without comment, then stood up with a palm-sized copper plate and went to the next room. A stripped-down man was hanging slightly on a chain, covered in blood. Only his chest was still rising and falling, indicating that he was still alive.
"You guys all go out, I'll have a chat with him alone."
Zhang Wu and other naked waist knives in the room quickly bowed to respond. They have no means now. It just depends on whether Zhentang can make some changes.
After everyone left, Bai Lang looked at the copper plate in his hand, but there was one sentence in his mind: I found a treasure.
Just now, Bai Lang was thinking about taking a look at the other person's belongings to see if he could find out the other person's identity. Because it’s not just that the mouth was not opened. On the other side, the person who went to the knife shop opposite to inquire about information came back and reported that there was no information about this person's origins. It is only said that this person won money in the opposite sword shop, and then he was invited as a disciple of Qianfang because of his great skills. And it hasn’t been long since I came to Yongchuan City, not even a year is enough. Because of their slovenliness, they are called "miscellaneous hair".
Unexpectedly, the moment he picked up the strange-looking copper plate, a prompt popped up on Bailang's attribute panel.
[Discover (white) the fragments of the five ghost moving formation disk. 】
[Discover (green) low-grade spiritual stone. Remaining aura 91%]
The moment he got the copper plate, two prompts popped up from the properties panel, which made Bai Lang stunned. He recalled the patterns on the copper plate that he had carved on the heart of the thunder willow tree when he helped the female ghost Lingyu refine an umbrella. But compared to the rounded and complete lines on the umbrella, the copper piece is obviously discontinuous and confusing. As a result, he didn't realize until he saw the reminder on the property panel that it turned out to be "remnants".
In this way, Bailang's guess in Qianfang was confirmed. Although the opponent was a Qi Refiner, his cultivation level was extremely low, far inferior to that of Bai Lang. He should not be qualified to use magic methods. At that time, Bai Lang guessed that the other party might be relying on a magic weapon like a Yin Umbrella as a gain to be able to cast spells. Now all in.
This fragment of a magical weapon actually means nothing to Bailang for the time being. What really made him feel like he had found a treasure was the spirit stone. This thing is mentioned in the "Two Introductions to Little Zhoutian" and "The General Chapter of Five Elements Techniques". It is the most difficult cultivation resource for Qi practitioners, and it is also a hard currency.
Spiritual stones can be used to absorb spiritual energy and increase one's own cultivation speed. You can also use it to trade other useful resources with other Qi Refiners, such as magic weapons, exercises, elixirs, etc.
Before, Bailang had always thought that he would have to go to the state capital or even the capital of Hong Chao for the spirit stones to appear. He didn't expect to appear in front of him so suddenly. The key is that except for him, no Qi refiner knows about it, and other people like Zhang Wu don't know it at all, and they think it is a piece of rubbish jade.
Walking to the hanging man, Bai Lang was silent for a while, then picked up the copper plate in his hand and said: "Array plate, spiritual stone, and a starting Qi practitioner with a sense of Qi. Logically speaking, you won't be able to get into this situation." Field? Tell me, maybe I can help you with some ideas."
