Chapter 140

"What kind of mystery is contained in this?" Huo Tianxiao asked puzzled.

An Huan shook his head, "I don't have much research on this, but I've heard people say that the entire Xifan City itself is a large formation. And Daxiong Temple is the birthplace of this large formation."

Huo Tianxiao's face changed, "So, if the Daxiong Temple is destroyed, then the entire Xifan City will also become a dead city?"

An Huan was silent, she didn't think so much at first, but when Huo Tianxiao reminded her, she felt that maybe it was really possible.

Huo Tianxiao's chopsticks, which were stretched out to pick up vegetables, paused in mid-air, and his expression became a little more gloomy, "If that's the case, even if you get the road map of Daxiong Temple's organs, it's just a piece of waste paper .”

An Huan shook his head, "That's not necessarily the case. Although Da Zongba claims to have the power to reach the heavens, he is a mortal after all, and he is also old. Otherwise, he would not urgently need Bodhidharma's body to continue his life. What people do , no matter how perfect it is, there will still be flaws."

"But presumably, Da Zongba will not give us a chance to find that flaw."

An Huan frowned, "Of course Da Zongba won't tell, but we can ask others."

"Who?"

"You will know soon." With a mysterious smile, there is already a candidate in his mind.

……

Xifan City in autumn is extremely dry. Even though it is known as the city beyond the sky in the Kedan Desert, in fact, the green area in the city is still pitifully small.

The bright and clear sky is like a piece of white cloth that has just been rinsed, without any color. In the air, the dust is clearly visible under the sunlight, as if a thin layer of grease has floated on it.

After eating, An Huan and Huo Tianxiao did not rush to rest, but came to the slave market.

Although more than ten years have passed, the slave market is still in that position, but the scope of transactions has expanded a lot.

Merchants from the Beidou Dynasty, the Star Luo Dynasty, and the wandering merchants from Persian Dashi scurried around in the slave market, selecting young slaves.

An extremely familiar scene made An Huan feel as if he had returned to more than ten years ago.

At that time, she was just a thin and thin little girl, driven by the turtle slave like an animal, standing in the rain and waiting for others to choose.

It was also at that time that she met two people, one was Zong Dongcheng and the other was Wu Ye.

In fact, when she defected from Daxiong Temple and killed Youlu and Zongdongcheng at the first time, one can see the flaws in her character that must be repaid.

But that time, the person she most wanted to kill had never been found.

With the promulgation of Da Luo's killing order, she inevitably became the target of thousands of people, and fled Xifan City in panic, and went to Kaitian City, which led to the entanglement with Huo Tianxiao later.

Speaking of which, an important person who changed her life was Wu Ye.

So this time I came to the slave market to try my luck and see if I could find Wu Ye.

As the director of foreign affairs of Daeun Temple, although Wu Ye's rank is not high, he knows a lot of secrets of Daeun Temple. Perhaps, in addition to avenging the past, he can find a breakthrough point in Midnight maybe.

Both of them were dressed as Pami merchants, and they didn't look very conspicuous. They just walked on the street of the slave market, and happened to catch some poor little slaves being beaten and abused by their masters, but they didn't react too much.

An Huan has always been very clear about her position. She knows that she is not a savior. Sometimes, she can't even control her own destiny, so she is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business.

In some respects, Huo Tianxiao has a lot in common with her on this point. Huo Tianxiao's temperament is cold and indifferent. The so-called human feelings are cold and warm, and the world is unfair. He has seen too much, and he has long been numb. There will be a little extra sympathy.

Suddenly, a loud noise attracted the attention of the two of them.

A thin little boy, who was stimulated by some kind of stimulus, went crazy and fought with the turtle slave. The turtle slave was fat and strong, but the little boy was so thin, even if he forcibly stopped the whip, but He was still kicked away by the turtle slave.

However, the little boy who kicked into the air quickly got up and turned to attack the turtle slave. At that moment, An Huan clearly saw a trace of blood on the corner of the little boy's mouth, but the little boy was so tenacious that he actually Forcibly hugged Gui Nu's thigh, then opened his mouth and bit down.

Guinu let out a scream, sweating from being bitten, and punched the little boy with two "dongdong" punches like drums.

The little boy spit out a few mouthfuls of blood after being beaten, his face was almost distorted because of the pain, but he didn't know where the bravery came from, and he kept holding on to the thigh of the turtle slave, his teeth clenched. Bite tightly, firmly bite a piece of flesh on Gui Nu's thigh.

"Damn you little bastard, I will beat you to death." After suffering the pain, Guinu's attack became more and more ruthless.

The fists fell on the little boy's body like raindrops, and the little boy endured it silently, no matter how painful it was, he would not back down, as if he was going to die together.

However, for him who is weak, this struggle scene looks so futile.

A certain soft place deep in An Huan's heart was touched instantly. Back then, Ning Zhiyuan and her were also so fearless in resisting the turtle slave.

How similar this little boy is to Ning Zhiyuan.

Thinking of the scene where Ning Zhiyuan lost half his life because of her, and now he was lying unconscious on the bed, and might turn into a vegetative state at any time, An Huan hated herself even more.

As soon as his mind moved, he was about to make a move, but Huo Tianxiao grabbed his arm quietly.

"Don't act rashly, so as not to spoil the big event." Huo Tianxiao reminded.

As if being poured with cold water, An Huan immediately realized that he had lost control of his emotions just now.

The purpose of their coming to Xifan City is not to save the fate of one or two people. All living beings are as humble as ants, if they all want to save them, how can they be saved?

Clenched fist, then stretched, she smiled at Huo Tianxiao, "Sorry."

Huo Tianxiao shook his head, "It's okay."

He knew that An Huan was not an impulsive person, and the reason why he lost control of his emotions this time must be because he saw the shadow of the past in that little boy.

Huo Tianxiao also knew a little about An Huan's background and origin, so naturally he wouldn't blame her for it.

At this time, standing aside and watching the little boy dying, it would be a lie to say that he had no idea, but what he was looking forward to more was how this matter would develop in the future.

Sure enough, after a while, there was a commotion in the crowd. A Persian businessman couldn't stand it, stood up, and said to the turtle slave in broken Chinese, "Hey, don't hit it, or you will die if you hit it again."

"It's none of your business." Gui Nu said viciously.

Gui Nusheng is fat and strong, and his face is a bit more fierce than ordinary people. Now he is angry, and he looks extremely ferocious, which makes people feel frightened.

The Persian businessman was probably a little afraid of the turtle slave, took a step back and shrunk his neck. However, as a traveling businessman who traveled all over the world, this Persian businessman had seen many big scenes. The point of fear.

He continued, "Hey, how about selling this little guy to me? What's your asking price?"

"You want it?" Gui Nu asked in disbelief.

The Persian businessman nodded vigorously, "As long as you don't beat him to death, I'll buy him." Then, he stretched out five fingers, "Is this the price?"

"50 taels of silver?" Gui Nu asked.

The Persian businessman shook his head, "No, it's five taels."

Gui Nu roared, looking as if he was humiliated, "Too few, not for sale."

"You... it's unreasonable."

"Damn it, even if I beat this bastard to death, I won't sell it." Gui Nu was furious, and punched the little boy a few more times, directly knocking the little boy down, and his thighs were also stained red with blood. A large piece.

The little boy lay on the ground, his face was covered with blood, and he couldn't even move, but he looked at the turtle slave with resentment. After his face was stained red with blood, his eyes became even bigger, and Because of his thin body and slightly protruding eyes, the soaring resentment is even more clear.

"Little bastard, don't you want to die? Do you really think that I am reluctant to beat you to death?" Gui Nu roared.

As a professional slave trader, he had handled dozens of small slaves if not a hundred, but he had never seen such a resentful look on a small slave, as if he wanted to peel off his skin and drink his blood.

Guinu is also a stern person, worried that the little slave will retaliate against him when he grows up, so it is better to beat him to death, although it is a small loss, but it will never cause future troubles, and it will be settled once and for all.

Thinking like this, he took out a dagger from his pocket and walked towards the little boy step by step. The next moment, he was going to reap the little boy's life.

But behind him, an extremely uncoordinated high-pitched voice sounded, "Will you sell it for five taels of silver, or will you sell it for one tael of silver?"

"Impossible." Without thinking, Gui Nu responded.

The next moment, a figure appeared in front of him and easily snatched the dagger from his hand.

The person who came was a middle-aged man, dressed in gray clothes, his appearance was very ordinary, he could hardly be found in the crowd, and his aura was not sharp, but when he appeared, the crowd gathered together The crowd, after an obvious uproar, slowly took two steps back to make way for a space.

Gui Nu was dumbfounded, "Wu...Wu Guanshi..."

The person who came was Wu Ye. Ten years later, he didn't seem to have changed much, nor did he look much older. However, unlike ten years ago, in the past ten years, although his position in charge has not changed, But already well known in the slave market.

Because every once in a while, he will come to the slave market to buy a large number of slaves at low prices. No one knows where the small slaves he bought are used, but because the prices are too low, these slave traders are very He is not happy to do his business, but with the big backer of Daxiong Temple behind him, even if it is a business of forced buying and selling, no one dares to refuse.

Wu Ye's face was full of disgust, and he didn't even want to look at Gui Nu more. He just said, "Sell or not for a tael of silver."

"Sell, sell..." Gui Nu repeated, his attitude turned 180 degrees.

Then Wu Ye smiled slightly, took out a tael of silver from his arms and threw it to Guinu, then picked up the little boy with one hand, separated from the crowd and left.

What he didn't see was that in the crowd, two men and women dressed as Pami people looked at him with extremely vicious eyes.

An Huan originally came to the slave market to try his luck. Although he intended to make some new discoveries here, he never expected to meet Wu Ye.

It seems that whether it was more than ten years ago or more than ten years later, it is not only Wu Ye, but also Daxiong Temple that has not changed.

The way they recruit and train killers has not changed at all, they are still squatting in the slave market, selecting some qualified and potential young slaves for training.
