"Did you hear about it? There was a robber nearby recently. His methods were cruel and he killed without batting an eye. Several groups of passing jade pickers were robbed by him! In the end, both men and goods were lost!"
"You say you're going to rob, and you don't even spare anyone. Your methods are so cruel!"
"It is said that it is related to the frequent strange phenomena on Yusu Mountain in the south. I don't know why, but there are so many people risking their lives to pick jade recently. In addition to the jade mining team here in Western Xinjiang, I heard that Dongyi, Nanyue,
Jade mining organizations from Xihuang and other places are also here."
"Yes, yes, some people even saw the Japanese people from Fuso Island coming."
Chen Luo listened with great interest while drinking tea. This news came to him much easier than asking around.
Chen Luo was not surprised at all about the robbers. Kule City was originally located at the throat of the north and south of Western Xinjiang. It was a center for goods circulation. All kinds of property and goods passed through here. Someone with a keen eye took the opportunity to block the road and rob someone.
Tao, plundering people's money has not happened before.
After all, this is also an important town. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. In addition, there are many people of all kinds, mixed together, living in seclusion here.
But overall, this small town is still stable.
The abnormal thing is that this robber not only seeks money, but also kills people and silences them. This is really a heinous act.
"Excuse me, brother, where is this robber?" Chen Luo asked, cupping his hands.
"It would be great if you know where it is! This robber is elusive, a master of Kung Fu, and he is also masked! Master Qu and his disciples from the martial arts school in the west of the city have been investigating the matter, but they have found no trace!"
"It's so abominable. I heard that this robber didn't even spare his children. Almost everyone who saw him died!"
"Is there no way to investigate?" Chen Luo couldn't help but ask.
"That's not true. According to Master Qu's analysis, this robber may have come back from the jade-picking competition, because he did not rob anything else but specialized in robbing jade. The people he robbed were all jade pickers who had just returned from the mountains.
As a result, before I even got home, the robber snatched me up in the middle of the road, including me and my wife!"
"Some people have analyzed that this may have something to do with the jade champion in the Jade Jade Competition! He is not the jade champion of this year, but also one of the top contestants. Do you think these jade masters, the proud ones of heaven, are guilty of doing such things?"
"These jade pickers worked so hard and went into the mountains to pick a few pieces of jade. In the end, they were robbed and their lives were lost. They were left dead in the wilderness. It is really pitiful!"
Chen Luo was shocked when he heard that this was all his fault. This thief was very hateful. He robbed his own house and found someone to take the blame. Chen Luo's mind was racing. Who were the top contestants in the Jade Jade Competition?
Woolen cloth?
After silently paying the bill, Chen Luo picked up the wine jar and turned to leave.
I need to go back and discuss this matter with my grandfathers as soon as possible. He committed a heinous crime by robbing his family, killing people, and silencing them. He is actually related to the contestants of the Jie Yu Competition. As the top scholar in the new subject and the Jade Lord of the Western Regions, how can he just sit idly by and ignore this matter?
The first thing he did when he returned home was that Chen Luo told the story of the robbers to the old blind man and old Chentou.
Lao Chentou put down the pipe and pot in his hand and slammed his fist on the table. "Damn it, it's just about making money. If you actually kill someone, that's it! This time we must eliminate all evil."
"Grandpa Chen, Master Qu from the boxing gym is also tracing his whereabouts and has no clue. The most important thing at the moment is to find out where the robber is hiding and his identity." Chen Luo said.
"Xiao Luo is right. The population environment in Kule City is relatively complicated. First, there are a large number of outsiders. Second, there are countless Jianghu forces and people with special abilities who live in seclusion here. It is impossible to check them one by one. It is best to find them first.
He revealed his identity and his hiding place."
But where can we find so many people in such a big place?
"To eliminate evil is to promote good, let the old blind man give you a hexagram!"
After the blind grandfather finished speaking, he pinched it with one hand. At the same time, he rolled his eyes, and the eyeballs turned into a blur of white. He muttered words in his mouth and continued to deduce with his hands.
In a moment, it comes in a moment.
"No! The iron gate is closed!" The blind grandfather suddenly opened his eyes.
"Xiaoluo, Lao Chen, you two quickly go to Tiemenguan.
It was already dusk, and the Western Xinjiang continent was shrouded in darkness. The iron gate was like a giant beast, lying prone among the mountains, controlling the only mountain road to the north of Kule.
This road is deserted and rarely traveled. Only some business travelers who want to take a shortcut and those who go to Kunlun to pick jade pass by here.
The iron gate is closed, and tall city towers stand in the north and south, overlooking everything in the past. The mottled and pitted city walls show the tragic traces of past wars.
However, it was not a war at this time, so there were no troops stationed in the tower. The tower and the main hall had already become a paradise for children to play during the day.
"Quack -" a clear crow's cry came from the tower. Then several birds flew out from inside.
There are actually people in the city tower tonight.
Even though it was nightfall, Chen Luo and Grandpa Chen took out their handkerchiefs and covered their mouths and noses, leaving only their eyes exposed. They used their physical skills and sneaked towards Iron Gate Pass.
The Thousand Changes of Phantoms indeed lived up to its name, and it was perfect for being used to rush on the road. Chen Luo's body was seen shooting forward like a ghostly figure.
Old Chen Tou calmly followed Chen Luo unhurriedly. The two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, quietly approached the bottom of the city tower. Then, using their hands and feet together, like a civet cat, they climbed up to the top of the city tower. All of this was
quietly.
Following the window lattice of the tower, Chen Luo could vaguely see the shadows in the lobby, and there were noisy yelling sounds coming from it.
"Tell me, where are the treasures on my body hidden?" A cold voice came from the side of the attic.
Since Chen Luo's attack on Wuyun Xiaocheng, his hearing and vision have gone far beyond what other people can achieve. Looking through the window lattice, he saw a man in black sitting on the desk, wearing a black outfit and wearing a black
The headgear has only a pair of eyes outside, and the eyes are like snakes and scorpions, which makes people shudder when they look at it.
"Recently, it is said that there are people killing people and robbing money nearby. Could it be you?" A middle-aged man snorted and replied calmly, "Why do you want to kill people like this?"
The middle-aged man has been wandering around for many years and has seen the world, so he is not panicked.
"Stop talking nonsense, take out the treasure, and give you a good time! If not, let you try my methods!"
"The treasure is already in the package. If you need it, just take it."
"Think I'm a three-year-old! That's all!"
The middle-aged man shook his head!
"Well, I will help you." As he spoke, the man in black waved his palm, and a sword flashed past. A young man behind the middle-aged man screamed, and pierced his eyebrows with a sword, and fell to the ground with a thud.
And died.
"Dayou!" the middle-aged man roared, "If you have the guts, come to me!"
The man in black grabbed a few pieces of jade, played with them in his hands, and occasionally put them under his nose to smell them, "The quality is pretty good, but it's not what I want!"
"Do you want to tell me or not? He will be next!" The man in black pointed at a young man next to him. This young man looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was tall, dark and muscular.
"Come on, you bad guy, I'm not afraid of you!" The young man was also a tough guy.
"Shi Zhuo, it's none of your business! Get out of here!" The middle-aged man winked at the young man named Shi Zhuo.
The man in black sneered and raised his hand, "Since you haven't said it yet, I will make it happen for you!"
Suddenly, a strange sound came from above the tower.
"Who!" The man in black stared at the attic above the tower hall.
Chen Luo's heart trembled, he wouldn't have been discovered!
Chen Luo was about to turn over when he saw a group of people rushing down from the attic. Some were holding daggers, some were holding wooden sticks, and some were holding a candlestick, rushing towards the man in black.
"Kill! The stinky robber——" The leader was a tall young man.
"Well done. Since you are seeking death, grandpa, I will send you on the road together."
Chen took a closer look and saw, weren't they Laitou and the others? How could these naughty boys be here?
It turns out that the few people in Lai Tou had discussed yesterday that they would come to Iron Gate to practice their gallbladder overnight. Unexpectedly, they happened to stumble upon this murderous business.
Although they are usually stubborn in the countryside, these people have restrained themselves a lot since being taught a lesson by Chen Luo last time, and began to study how to correct their evil ways.
Especially in the face of this big right and wrong, the naughty boy in the past turned into a passionate boy. Under the leadership of Lai Tou, a group of people rushed down with weapons and weapons in their hands, shouting.
The man in black frowned slightly, not because he was afraid of these young masters, but because everyone came from a well-off family, and he was worried that things would end badly if they made more noise.
I saw the man in black stretched out his hand and flicked it, and there were a few pops, but before they had time to react, all the teenagers fell to the ground and fainted.
"I'll take care of you later!"
Chen Luo was speechless, the first few were just here to make fun of him.
The man in black picked up a sharp knife from the ground, turned around and continued to the middle-aged man, continuing the unfinished interrogation.
The knife was already placed on Shi Zhuo's neck.
"I'll give you another chance. Where are the other treasures?" The man in black raised the knife in his hand.
"I'll fight you!"
The middle-aged man's eyes were cracked, and he bumped into the man in black. However, his cultivation had been sealed long ago, and he had no strength at all. The man in black was kicked to the ground with a light kick.
"Forget it, I won't follow you anymore!" The man in black brandished his knife and tried to kill him.
"Whoosh -" A black and shiny thing rushed from the stairs with the sound of breaking wind.
The man in black reacted quickly, holding the big knife horizontally in his hand to block. With a click, a dart hit the knife, flew out diagonally, and stuck on the diagonal beam. The dart tail trembled.
A middle-aged man with a strong figure rushed up the stairs in two or three steps. I saw that this man was tall, with bulging muscles all over his body, and he was holding a mountain-climbing sword. He looked very imposing. At first glance, he could tell that he had practiced Kung Fu to a considerable extent.
realm.
Chen took a closer look and saw that the person coming was none other than Master Qu from the Cunxi Boxing Gym.
Master Qu shouted angrily, held a knife in both hands, and walked straight towards the man in black.
"Evil thief, take your life!" Master Qu swung his knife and slashed. The man in black rolled over and crossed to the other side of the case. With a flash of the knife, a corner of the solid solid wood desk was cut off.
Chen Luo secretly admired that Master Qu's sword was really good, and he was worthy of being the head of the boxing gym.
The man in black did not panic, and pulled out a long sword with his backhand. The tip of the sword was like a poisonous snake, shining with dark light.
