"Mr. Wu You seems to be a practicing master."

Zuo Le and Taihe paid attention to Hao Zhao and Wuyou consciously or unconsciously. The former was a brave and invincible warrior who was appointed by General Zuo. Although the latter was not well-known, as long as he saw his strong figure hidden by clothes, he knew that he was extremely powerful. Not an easy person to deal with.

They had already finished dinner for an hour, during which time they exchanged glasses of wine and had a good time. When Jingzhe returned, they had already explained the secrets to Zuo Letaihe. In order to avoid being overheard, they could not say anything directly.

However, after finishing the meal, Hao Zhao said goodbye and left to avoid suspicion. Zuo Le subconsciously uttered a comment in order to get acquainted with Wu You.

Chapter 177 Still a Stranger ([-])

"I?"

Wu You looked at Zuo Le. Even though the fire of revenge was burning in his heart, he could not suppress the expression "I don't even know what you are talking about" on his face.

The same scene is very similar to the old man repairing air conditioners in "Master, what do you do?"

Didn't your colleagues tell you that I monitored the Gouwu family for revenge, and therefore discovered that the Thief Saint took advantage of any defensive loopholes?

The speechlessness that Wu You was trying so hard to hide deeply penetrated Zuo Le, who was speechless. It wasn't until he blurted out that he recalled what Jing Zhe had told him when Wu You talked about the decline of Lian's martial arts school less than a year ago. Jianghu vendetta, with a sly smile on his face.

Isn't this nonsense?If a martial artist from the Lian Family Martial Arts School is not a disciple of the family, how can he be a weak scholar who cannot lift his hands?Moreover, judging from Dayan’s current official examination level, personal force is also an indispensable criterion...

"I am a martial artist from Lian's martial arts school, and I am still a close disciple of my master. I practice martial arts diligently every day, and I can barely catch the eye. I can't say I am very powerful, let alone compare with the high-ranking disciples of Tianshi Mansion. The three secret agents have a steady pace. My lower body is very deep and stable when I walk, sit or lie down. I must have experienced a bone-chilling cold during the practice. With this little skill, it will be hard for me to wait until I get to the elegant hall!"

But after all, Wu You was a gangster who had been beaten severely not long ago. Li Boli quickly picked up Zuo Le's words and cleverly complimented the three secret agents of the Yan Kingdom who came from the Tianshi Mansion.

"Huh? Ah - that's not true. I have also heard about Master Lian's deeds in Tianshi Mansion. It is said that there were only a handful of martial artists who could be recruited by Tianshi Mansion to exchange martial arts. Lian Zixu, the Master, was still there back then. I have retained my treasure..."

Wu You's understanding and understanding eased Zuo Le's embarrassment, and the spy young man immediately began to praise Wu You's master Lian Zixu's great achievements in those years. He did not lie. There was indeed something about the Lian family in the world's martial arts collected by the Tianshi Mansion. The records of the Yin Yang Fan even have annotations by Lian Zixu himself, which record in detail the various fallacies encountered during the practice and the corrective methods.

It's just that the martial arts in Tianshi Mansion are profound secrets and are rarely spread among the world. Students from Tianshi Mansion have all signed a contract and will never spread the martial arts in the Mansion. Therefore, unless it is widely publicized, very few people know what it is. Which warrior has left a legacy in Tianshi Mansion.

In addition, although Lian's Yin-Yang Fan is ingenious, is it not the only martial arts that Tianshi Mansion has to collect records of exchanges between talents from all over the world?The heavenly masters of all generations have devoted themselves to the inner qi martial arts, and even used the inner qi as a binding agent to extend life through the source stone. Compared with these martial arts that conquer the world, a Lian Yin Yang Fan is just It's not such a prestigious martial arts.

after all……

When it comes to the study of inner energy, from time to time there are feuds between generations, and from time to time there are masters and disciples who can't read and have to pass it on word of mouth. How can it be compared to Tianshi Mansion, which has studied the remaining parts of Titan's organization?

Hearing what Zuo Le said, even though he knew that Lian's Yin-Yang Fan might not be ranked very high in the Tianshi Mansion, he couldn't help but smile on his face and started chatting and laughing with Zuo Le. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious for a while. ——After all, which disciple would not be proud when he heard how great achievements his master, who treated him like his own son, had achieved?

However, this shallow and harmonious exchange did not last long. When they crossed the middle of the slum with their cloaks on and walked all the way to the edge, Wu You stopped with a solemn expression.

Zuo Le immediately shut his mouth. He knew that they had probably reached their destination now.

"Look, you three," Wu You pointed at the cold, damp mud and said to the three spies, "This is the hole I found by tapping on the ground and listening to the sound."

This is indeed a good place to hide the entrance and exit. Even Jingzhe Taihe, a skilled worker who has handled many cases, almost didn't notice the strangeness here - this location is too remote, even in the slums that are located on the edge of Gouwu. It's a place no one wants to go near.

The soil on the ground is extremely wet and cold. The excess water vapor even makes the reddish soil of Gouwucheng itself turn black. Every inch of the soil at the entrance and exit looks like it has just been turned over. If Jingzhe and the others were to find it themselves, they would probably turn it over all over. Gou Wu didn't even realize that there was a tunnel entrance buried in the dirtiest and coldest corner of the slum.

An unconcealable stench came, and Zuo Le frowned and looked at the garbage dump in the distance on the moist soil. It was a temporary storage place for the domestic garbage of the residents of the Gouwucheng slum, and it exuded a vigorous stench forever.

Wu You covered his mouth and nose to adjust his breathing and strictly controlled every muscle in his body. In just a short moment, his body seemed to have expanded three times. The swelling muscles even stretched the black military uniform that could originally hide his strong figure. The tension!

boom--!

There was a muffled sound from the ground, and Jingzhe, Zuo Le, and Taihe jumped back one by one, leaving the trembling and humming mud beside Wu You. The three spies stood up and carefully looked at the position where Wu You's fist landed, and found Li Boli. The location of the candidate was extremely clever. A triangle formed exactly between the fallen clod of soil and the underground cavity, revealing a dark and cold cave.

"A few of you, I can take two of you in, but it's best to leave one to guard the entrance of the cave to avoid being unable to react in time. Even if we fall inside, there is still a possibility of rescue!"

Wu You reached out to the three spies and cupped his fists, and made a pertinent suggestion.

Taihe and Jingzhe Zuo Le looked at each other and nodded. The two young men walked towards Wuyou together, while the tall Minoan stayed in place and nodded to Wuyou.

Li Boli knew that this was the order decided by the three of them, so he jumped into the cave without saying much. Jingzhe and Zuo Le looked at each other, and followed Li Boli without saying anything. Rushing into the dark void.

!

As soon as he entered the cave, a gust of sinister wind blew in his face like a maggot attached to his bones. Zuo Le was blown by this smelly wind, which made him shiver all over. His muscles couldn't help but tremble before he could recover. .

His expression was solemn, and he smelled the familiar smell of death from the wind that suddenly flowed out with the air circulation.

Jing Zhe's body flashed with electric light next to him, and the blue-white current penetrated the air, making a harsh crackling sound. Qilin sensed the molecules in the air that emitted phosphorescence as they were pressurized, and the expression on his face was ugly.

"You two, this way."

Wu Youbi came down earlier than Jingzhe Zuo Le. At this moment, he was knocking on the wall fixed with iron load-bearing, listening to the sounds and identifying the empty structure in the cave. He closed his eyes and recalled the day in his mind bit by bit. Based on the tunnel parts heard on foot, the branch roads in the cave were cut out bit by bit.

At this moment, seeing Jingzhe and the others coming down, the Liboli man immediately waved his hand and invited them to follow him.

Chapter 178: Strangers After All ([-])

"Take care, you two. Many paths here are blocked, and there has been no ventilation for a long time. It is easy to get lost if you walk without protective equipment."

As Wu You walked, he reminded Jingzhe and Zuo Le who were following him. They followed each step with caution as they walked in the world. The electric light on Qilin's body followed Tie Chengzhong and walked around. He nodded to Zuo Le with a solemn expression, confirming that Wu You was right. wrong.

——This tunnel extends in all directions, one intersection after another. Many walls are supported by iron load-bearing, but more are fragile earth and stone load-bearing. If they step in accidentally, it will be difficult for even them to escape. Extremely embarrassed.

Zuo Le held the long sword on his right waist harder. The Tianshi Mansion's thunder method was infinitely useful. Just a few rays of lightning flashed across Jingzhe's body and it blocked the foul smell in the tunnel. However, Zuo Le did not master the thunder method, so You can only use your sense of smell to experience the rotten and unpleasant smell in the tunnel.

As Wu You led them closer, the stench became stronger and stronger, and became more and more like the smell that Zuo Le least wanted to smell when handling the case. The ominous premonition in his heart became more and more profound, and he had to hold a long knife to stabilize his mentality.

——The stench is too strong, Zuo Lexin

He knew clearly that if it was really the smell he was already familiar with, everything inside Gouwucheng would be a horrifying and major case!

Zuo Le's nervousness made Jingzhe secretly vigilant. The electric current detecting the terrain of the tunnel shone more frequently. As Wu You led them forward, a broken thumbnail full of forked paths appeared in her mind.

This map is so messy that even though Jingzhe has formed an impression of it, there is still no pattern at all!

As they walked into the tunnel, the terrain became more and more complex, and Wu Wu's method of knocking on the wall to listen for directions began to fail frequently. The time they stayed at the intersection became longer and longer. The Liboli people had to repeatedly read through their minds when they walked on the ground. I listened to the road map and carefully compared the differences between above ground and underground.

Zuo Le's nose was already firmly gripped by the smell of corpses, and the pervasive smell occupied every inch of the underground space. At first, the young man could find the same route as Wuyou through the smell, but now it doesn't work anymore, and he can only sweat all over his head. Waiting for the "old master's" unfounded judgment.

Jingzhe no longer discharges electric current to detect the actual situation. As they get closer and closer to the tunnel, the space becomes more and more empty and there are more and more complicated roads. Detection with thunder method has become a thankless method.

"It should be here."

Wu You leaned against the wall and thought for a full quarter of an hour before finally comparing the correct route. The Liboli carefully chose the rightmost intersection, and Zuo Le and Jingzhe followed closely.

.....................

They came to a huge, broken, dirty, desperate, skinny, sinful place...

Burial ground.

"This this……"

"Impossible, impossible..."

Zuo Le took a step back in shock. His fine leather official boots made a crunching noise on the ground, creating a trembling sound in the empty underground space.

No one would blame him for his shocked look at this moment. The electric current in Jing Zhe's body even went out of control to the point of exploding in the air. The noisy sound of electric current carried a bluish-white hot flash, partially illuminating the entire empty cavity——

! ! ! ! ! !

This time, even Wu You, who had been asked by Hong Quan to be mentally prepared early, couldn't help but retreat, pressed himself against the cold wall, and knelt down uncontrollably.

"vomit--!!!"

Unable to restrain the sour water in his stomach, he painfully returned the dishes he had just eaten that night to the earth intact.

There was a shaking feeling as Jingzhe and Zuo Le ran over from behind. Not long after, two sounds of leaning on the wall sounded in Wuyou's ears almost at the same time, followed by the same sound of vomiting.

The sour and smelly vomit accumulated in a large puddle on the ground, but the three of them could not control it at all. They could only vomit out all the burning things in their stomachs with red eyes, so that all the terror and nausea in their hearts could be vented. .

That's a burial ground, a charnel house!

One, two, three... ten, twenty, thirty... one hundred, two hundred...

No less than three hundred corpses were piled in the empty cave like rotten meat thrown out of the cold storage. The slum landfill, one of the exits, did an excellent job of covering up the stench of the corpses. It had been a long time since they died, and their flesh and blood They melted like mud and stuck together coldly.

Tangled masses of flesh and blood are interspersed with large pieces of broken bones, including hand bones, arm bones, leg bones, humerus... As long as you look carefully, these important organs in the human body can be seen everywhere, and the broken skull in the middle is cloudy. He stared blankly at the investigators who came to visit him rashly, as if there were countless wronged souls whining and whimpering.

Maggots, rats, rats, cockroaches... densely packed dark creatures that could not be seen escaped from the light and shadow, moving in and out of this putrid swamp of flesh and blood, swallowing.

"...Here, here..."

Zuo Le asked with a hoarse voice and a trembling voice. His sword-wielding hand, which he had been practicing for an unknown amount of time, actually started to tremble. He had never hated his keen observation so much for a moment. Even if he caught a glimpse in the light exploded by the Jingzhe Thunder Technique, he could still see it. I saw mountains of flesh and blood piled up like mud.

He grew up listening to his father's legends, and read the history books recording his father's achievements. He was so excited that he wished he could transform into a general of the Yan Kingdom and make great achievements in the Shura field where the army fought.

But when he saw with his own eyes that more than three hundred corpses were randomly dumped in the hollow and slowly fermented until they turned into mud, his mind was firm, and he was also confused and unable to control himself for a while.

That’s three hundred lives, enough people to fill a small square!

Was he killed in this hollow and left to fend for himself like garbage?

"Uh, uh--!"

Jingzhe beat her chest in pain and spit out the food residue squeezed in her esophagus. The originally fluffy and supple golden hair of the blond Qilin lay lazily on the back of her shoulders, trembling in pain.

"Cough, cough..." Wu You spat out with difficulty, trying his best to ignore the sour taste in his mouth, and looked at the two Yan Kingdom spies inquiringly:

"You two, do you want to continue searching? In fact, as long as you pass through here..."

Jingzhe took out the water bottle from his cloak with difficulty, poured it into his mouth, and rinsed his mouth desperately, as if he wanted to spit out everything he had seen before.

But how could all this be forgotten?

Zuo Le also took out his own kettle and rinsed his mouth without forgetting to hand it to Wu You. Li Boli glanced at it awkwardly and chose to raise his head, open his mouth, and pour the water from the kettle into the air.

In his mouth, he did not forget to explain at the end:

"This is a hub, and other things should have been hidden here. I only heard a long echo, but I didn't expect... If we continue walking through here, we can take the secret passage leading to the Gouwu Family and go directly Take a look at their ancestral home.”

"Okay, let's move on."

Jingzhe said to Wuyou with a pale face, his expression weak but firm, obviously aroused by this unknown massacre, full of grief and anger.

Zuo Le nodded without hesitation in agreement with Jingzhe's idea. He also wanted to see how ferocious and terrifying the person who could cause such a tragic bloody scene still felt!

Chapter 179: Strangers After All ([-])

"..."

When Jingzhe and Zuo Le followed Wuyou through the stinking hell on earth, and found a passage leading to a place in the east of the city where outsiders were not allowed to visit, they spent their days covering an extremely long distance in their minds.

The low footsteps lingered for a long time in the stench-filled passage, but when they reached a certain location, the corpse odor completely dissipated as if it was stopped by some force.

Zuo Le sniffed unbelievingly, thinking that his sensitive senses were dulled by the long-term odor poisoning, but Wu You patted his shoulder and whispered to Jingzhe and Zuo Le the reason why the odor disappeared:

"Someone built a new vent here, and the smell is flowing out through the vents!"

Zuo Le closed his eyes and felt it carefully. Sure enough, he discovered the weak wind force from his suddenly sensitive skin senses.

"This is the vent?"

He imitated Wu You and asked in a lowered voice. Although he didn't know why he was sneaking quietly in a cave where he couldn't see the light of day, Wu You was indeed more experienced than him. The young spy didn't intend to create any complications and did everything as Wu You did.

"Although this tunnel is new, it was definitely not built recently. It spans half of Gouwucheng and is fixed with iron bearings. It doesn't look like the work of a gang of thieves who ran away after just one vote..."

Wu You suppressed his voice, and the syllables spit out from his slender throat were like hissing snakes in the dark:

"When I came in, I discovered that all the exits and vents in the slum were blocked. A temporary garbage disposal site was built at the largest exit to prevent traces in the tunnel from being exposed. I asked about the garbage disposal site. The land was approved by all the households in the wealthy district of Wucheng half a year ago, requiring planning and urban construction regulations."

"In other words... what happened in the tunnel happened less than half a year ago. But if you say that, the body's decomposition speed is too slow. The person who did it must have sealed all the vents and exits, cut off all Communicate, cover up all traces, and let everything remain silent in the darkness.”

"So...the vents here can only be dug deliberately by someone who reopened the tunnel."

Zuo Le and Jingzhe naturally understood this first and last. The fictitious introduction and the most direct evidence at their feet allowed them to finally discover the most profound truth about this grand robbery that caused a storm in Wucheng:

The wealthy households in Gouwucheng, perhaps some of them, jointly built a tunnel underground that connects half of Gouwucheng. The intricate grid structure confirms its secrecy and breadth.

In this secret place that never saw the light of day, they must have done something shameful, so that after the deed was done, the bodies piled up like mountains, and the black hand sealed all the news, blocked all the loopholes, and made it disappear from everyone. in cognition.

It's just that there is no airtight wall in the world. Maybe because he can hear sounds and identify his location like nothing, or maybe he heard some unknown secrets, a group of thieves discovered the hidden depths of evil in this place.

But they didn't intend to expose the crime. Instead, they transcended the deepest despair and set their sights on the major Gou Wu families who thought they could sit back and relax by blocking the news and covering up the traces.

It's just that even if this tunnel has been closed for less than a year, it has accumulated countless poisonous miasma and strange poisons. If ordinary people enter, it will be difficult to use it to achieve their goals, and they will be poisoned to death.

So the thieves visited the site to observe, inquired around, and figured out the structure bit by bit. In the secret part of Gouwucheng, they opened several vents for this extremely deep secret place...

With the vents, the poisonous gas in the tunnel naturally gradually dispersed, and the thieves took advantage of the opportunity to take out all the gold and silver treasures passed down by the rich families in Gouwucheng!

I see! ×2

I know the truth! ×2

It's easy to unravel the clues. With Wu You's introduction to the biggest piece of evidence here, the "Holy Stealing" incident that was hazy in the minds of the spy duo finally cleared up all the mystery!

But what followed was more doubts:
