Although there are many organs in the White Fish Pagoda, for Shen Qianfeng, naturally there will be no big problem. Wuying followed closely behind him, and the two of them searched down from the top of the tower layer by layer. They saw cobweb dust everywhere, and some broken tables and chairs, which seemed to be nothing unusual.
"Even if it's a merman, it should be by the sea. How could it be in a pagoda?" Wuying knocked on the wall with a dagger casually. Carp can be raised in a water tank.
Shen Qianfeng squatted on the ground, with his palms lightly pressed against the ground, concentrated his inner strength, and actually drove deep into the ground.
Wuying only felt a slight tremor under his feet, so he opened his eyes wide in surprise, what did Guzhu Ye feed the leader every day, and his martial arts can be so strangely high
"The underground is empty." Shen Qianfeng stood up, "Look again, there should be organs around."
Wuying blew on the fire, turned his head and looked around, and saw a bare wall, let alone a mechanism, not even a pothole.
"Too irritable." Shen Qianfeng said while tapping on the wall, "It needs to be changed."
"Oh." Wuying agreed honestly, and searched carefully like him, and really found a hidden space, which fits very well with the ground, and would be easily overlooked.
"Do you want to open it?" Wuying asked.
Shen Qianfeng signaled him to back off, pulled out the dagger himself, and inserted it through the seam. Wuying felt a little nervous, mermen... so there should be a big sparkling pool below
"Stay here." Shen Qianfeng opened the secret compartment, "I'll go down and have a look."
"Let's go on like this?" Wuying quickly pulled him back, "It's pitch black, what if there are monsters." After all, there are even mermaids, so it's not surprising that a piranha with a bloody mouth comes out .
"It's okay." Shen Qianfeng said, "Maybe there are organs somewhere, don't run around."
"I'm not a child." Wuying argued, "How could I run around at such a time?"
Shen Qianfeng shook his head with a smile, and jumped out of the dark room.
The tunnel was very deep, and it seemed that it took a long time for both feet to touch the ground. The surrounding area was slightly damp, but there was no pond as expected. Probably due to the perennial airtightness, the air is filled with a thick stench, which is disgusting. Shen Qianfeng took out the deep sea pearl to illuminate, and held his breath to roughly look around the situation. The moss, the wet ground, and the dried blood splattered on the wall did not seem to have raised sharks, but killed people. There was the sound of falling water in my ear, which was even more eerie in the darkness.
There are some rags in the corner of the wall, which are extremely tough and seem to glow slightly. Shen Qianfeng picked up two pieces and jumped out of the tunnel.
Shadowless covered his nose decisively.
Shen Qianfeng: "..."
"Is the hut down there?" Wuying asked cautiously.
Shen Qianfeng patted him on the head, and gave an overview of the situation in the darkroom.
"Is there really a problem?" Wuying was surprised when he heard this.
"It's getting late, let's go back." Shen Qianfeng said, "Come back another day and continue looking."
Wuying nodded, and followed him out of the White Fish Tower.
Although the wind blew all the way, the smell in the dark room was so strong that as soon as the two of them entered the room, Wen Liunian's face turned pale, and he silently put back half of the snack in his hand.
"What smell?" Ye Jin stepped forward and grabbed Shen Qianfeng's collar, leaned over to smell it, and then looked disgusted.
"There is a pond under the White Fish Pagoda, but the water has been drained." Shen Qianfeng said, "It smells like dead fish and rotten shrimp."
"Really?" Wen Liunian hurriedly asked, "Did you see the shark?"
"No, but there are quite a few blood splatters on the wall, which should have been there for some years." Shen Qianfeng said, "According to the size of the excavation of the pool, it really seems to be for raising sharks."
"What is this?" Ye Jin put on three or four layers of hand towels, and just now pinched the rag, stretched his arms straight, for fear of getting his clothes.
"I found it in the pool." Shen Qianfeng took it away from him, "Bring it back and show it to Lord Wen."
Wen Liunian rolled up his sleeves, touched it with a tragic expression, it was slippery and greasy, and still wet.
When you go back, you must wash your hands eight times.
"What is it?" The people around asked in unison.
"I don't know." Wen Liunian shook his head blankly.
"I'll do it." Ye Jin took out a pair of gloves from his waist, put them on and lit a candle.
Mr. Wen is very wronged, why don't you lend me the gloves if you have them.
"It doesn't look like any kind of fabric." After a while, Ye Jin said, "It looks like animal leather."
"Fish skin?" A flash of inspiration flashed in Wuying's head, "Shark Tail?"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone's face collapsed. Although they had never seen a mermaid, the upper body should be human anyway, so this is... the lower body
"What does it look like?" Ye Jin pinched both ends of the rag with two small tweezers, and then picked it up for everyone to see.
The dark guard brushed and clamped his legs, mother, it turns out that mermaids also have long hair, we thought they were all big-breasted sisters.
Thinking of how long ago he touched it with his bare hands, Mrs. Wen wanted to cry.
Shen Qianfeng's expression was also hard to express.
"There is still a small piece of fish scale." Ye Jin poked with the small silver needle again, "It's very dry, but it is indeed a scale."
"So Liu Xiangnan caught a group of mermaids from the sea, first raised them under the White Fish Pagoda, and then killed them all?" Wuying guessed.
"I still don't believe it." Ye Jin shook her head, "Unless I see it with my own eyes."
The dark guard continued to cover his crotch with his hands, isn't this considered seeing with his own eyes? There are even balls.
"Xiao Lingzi also heard it from hearsay, so the only person who might have seen a shark with her own eyes is the Snitch in Liuhui Village." Wen Liunian said, "I'm just afraid it's hard to find." It's just that he doesn't have a name, he's still a thief, and now Whether it is dead or alive is uncertain.
"Tomorrow, I'll go to Xiao Lingzi to see if I can find out the whereabouts of the Snitch." Ye Jin said, "As for Sister Taohua, Wu Ying will go and ask tomorrow, maybe there will be new clues."
Everyone nodded in agreement, seeing that the sky had turned pale, they went back to rest. Needless to say, Wen Liunian washed his hands more than a dozen times, and Shen Qianfeng next door also washed his hands seven or eight times with Ye Jin staring at him before he was finally allowed to go to bed. The servant boiled the water and was full of resentment, at least he had a rest for one night, no wonder Lord Ye Guzhu hadn't recovered after being ill for three days, leader Shen was really willing to be tossed and tossed like this night and night.
The next day the sun was fine, and Xiao Lingzi was taking a nap on the table, when suddenly she heard someone calling Ye Guzhu at the door.
"Only you?" Ye Jin sat opposite her.
"Recently there seems to be a lot of things going on in the Pinglang Gang." Xiao Lingzi rubbed her eyes, "So most of the time I'm the only one." She was also happy to relax.
"White Fish Pagoda is really famous." Ye Jin didn't let it go, "And the matter seems to be a little serious. What exactly do you know, you'd better tell them all."
"Did you find the shark's tears?" Xiao Lingzi opened her eyes wide.
"No, but I found a piece of leather, which looks like a merman's tail." Ye Jin said, "There is a dry pool under the White Fish Pagoda, and the moss is covered with blood stains. It seems that a terrible event happened."
Xiao Lingzi was surprised. According to her previous imagination, the places where there are mermen should be melodious fishermen's songs, sparkling and weaving merman silk, but she never thought that it would be in the dark underground, with moss, blood and fish tails. All numb.
"Tell me everything you know about this matter." Ye Jin said, "The Pinglang Gang is not easy, this matter is not just as simple as you want to steal the tears of the sharks, there may be a big secret hidden behind it. "
"I really don't know too much." Seeing his serious expression, Xiao Lingzi didn't dare to mess around anymore, "I want shark tears to make a medicine introduction for Sister. She has slipped three or four times, and her body is about to I can't stand it anymore."
"Your sister?" Ye Jin asked, "That's why you took the risk to join the Pinglang Gang?"
"It was my elder sister who adopted me. I was injured at the time. She treated me like a wandering wild girl. She gave me food and clothing and didn't care about anything." Xiao Lingzi said, "The kindness of dripping water will be repaid by the spring, so I will come Joining the Pinglang Gang and stealing some jewelry to sell, it’s not a big deal anyway.”
Seeing that she was taking things for granted, Ye Jin couldn't help shaking his head, but this wasn't the time to teach her not to sneak around, so he said, "Who told you that Merren's tears can cure a slippery tire?"
"Master Wu, I was talking about the burglar.""He wanted to marry me, and I beat him up and left."
"Gone?" Ye Jin asked, "Where did you go?"
"I really don't know about that." Xiao Lingzi said, "He's not from Liuhui Village, he just passed by occasionally and told me that there is a merman in the White Fish Pagoda. It is said that adding three inches of gold to the shark's tears can make my sister have a son."
"It's nonsense." Ye Jin shook her head, "After this matter, I'll go to check your elder sister's pulse. If you take care of it properly, it's not difficult to have a baby."
"Really?" Xiao Lingzi cheered up, "Okay! Don't go back on your word." This time there was no Lord Wen, so she wisely didn't bring up the matter of "the daughter-in-law of the martial arts leader keeps her word".
"However, by mistake, finding the secret of the White Fish Pagoda is an unexpected gain." Ye Jin said, "I will continue to investigate this matter, but you can't go to the tower anymore. dangerous."
"Since you can heal my sister's illness, I don't want to cry." Xiao Lingzi said, "I will go back to Liuhui Village to find sister after I steal some more money. After my sister gave birth to my son, I still have to venture into the rivers and lakes."
Ye Jin shook her head: "You can't leave yet."
"Why can't you go?" Xiao Lingzi was dissatisfied.
"What you promised me has not been done yet," Ye Jin said.
"You mean to ask Liu Zhenwei, why did you rush to marry your younger sister?" Xiao Lingzi said, "I asked, and he said that only by climbing up to Mr. Wen and Mr. Shen can he save his life."
"Save your life?" Ye Jin frowned slightly.
"Yes." Xiao Lingzi said, "I can't ask any more. Charming Soul is an aphrodisiac, not an ecstasy."
Ye Jin understood now, no wonder Liu Xiangnan came to propose marriage in such a hurry, it turned out that someone was looking for revenge - but now that the martial arts leader is at home, the other party will naturally be afraid.
As for who is seeking revenge... After Ye Jin returned to his residence, he listed several possible sects, but finally crossed them out one by one.
"Shovel Gang." Wen Liunian picked up the piece of paper and asked curiously, "Are you cooking?"
"It's a shovel, not a wooden shovel." Shen Qianfeng explained.
Wen Liunian: "..."
oh.
"Could it be Chu Heng?" Wen Liunian asked again after a while, probably feeling that the room was too quiet.
"I'm thinking too." Ye Jin said, "After all, the only one in the East China Sea who has the ability to move Liu Xiangnan is the Prince's Mansion."
"Unfortunately, we couldn't find that Snitch." Wen Liunian said, "Otherwise, we can ask what's going on." Having seen the sharks with his own eyes, probably there are not many in the whole Jianghu.
"Shark?" On the other end, Taohua was also surprised when he heard it.
"Yes." Wuying said, "Sister Taohua, have you ever seen it?"
"No." Taohua shook her head, "I've never heard of it."
"Is there really nothing unusual?" Wuying asked again.
"Really never heard of it." Taohua said, "And the Liu family has never regarded me as a young lady, I have done laundry and cooking, chatted with servants in my spare time, and I have never heard of mermaids. "
Wuying scratched his head in distress.
"Is it the White Fish Pagoda?" Ah Xing was also listening, boldly swearing.
"Yes." Wuying hurriedly said, "Miss knows?"
"It's a forbidden area, only the gang leader can go there." Ah Xing said, "But a guest from the East China Sea came to the place three years ago, and he also went there."
"Guest from Donghai?" Wuying asked, "What does it look like?"
"He's not tall, but he has a scar on his face." A Xing searched his memory carefully, "At that time, Brother Liu and I were going to deliver firewood, but the firewood scattered halfway and blocked his way, so I remember clearly that it was to go to Bai Yuta's voice is very high-pitched and thin, and his eyes are very gloomy."
Qingqiu... Wuying tsk tsk in her heart, as expected, there is a nest of snakes and rats, which can be related to mountains and rivers.
"If it's really a gang, it won't be a surprise." After Wuying returned to the Pinglang Gang, Wen Liunian also said after hearing the news, "The so-called congeniality, Chu Heng is the biggest villain in the East China Sea. Shrimp are colluding with each other, I am afraid they all want to get a share of it."
"Then it's a mess now." Ye Jin said, "I only know that Liu Xiangnan may be raising sharks in secret, maybe he has something to do with Qingqiu, maybe he obeyed Chu Heng's order to let us live in the Pinglang Gang, maybe it's because someone wanted to ask him He seeks revenge." But they are all possibilities, but none of them can be proven.
"Perhaps, it's better than being blind." Wen Liunian tugged at his ears, "Do things one by one, there is no rush."
"So what are we going to do now?" Ye Jin asked.
Wen Liunian wandered out: "I'll write a letter first, otherwise I'll miss the merchant ship bound for Luoying Island."
Ye Jin: "..."
The dark guards followed behind, the number one talented man in Dachu, writing love letters is naturally different, the sentences are very long and beautiful, and at a glance, he feels that his whole body is illuminated by the stars of Wenqu. What's more important is that I never shy away from others, and even read it again after writing, so I don't hide my secrets.
It was the same this time, after writing seven or eight sheets of thoughts, Master Wen was finally willing to change the subject, and explained the matter of the Merman in detail.
"Let the head of the family go to Qingqiu's territory?" The dark guards were all taken aback when they heard this.
"Yes." Wen Liunian blew away the ink marks, "Maybe we can find the shark."
"But the master is practicing in closed doors." The dark guard reminded.
"I know." Wen Liunian opened the envelope.
"The retreat cannot be interrupted." The dark guard continued, "Otherwise, it is very likely that you will become obsessed and be lost forever."
"I know too." Wen Liunian sealed the seal.
"Then the adults still write?" The dark guard was at a loss.
"To the King of Ming Dynasty." Wen Liunian grinned.
Dark Guard: "..."
"Retreat cannot be interrupted, and this letter is so urgent that King Daming can't ignore it." Wen Liunian said cheekily, "There will always be something to do." Moreover, King Daming is very familiar with Donghai, as long as he is willing to nod , it is unlikely to return empty-handed.
The dark guard admired him very much in his heart, and he could learn this kind of ability to eat a big family in the future.
It's all about making money...
