Zhang Zifeng said: "Immediately check where he went out this time? From now on, closely monitor Xiao Huishao and Jia Shitai, and don't let down your guard against Zheng Wei. Every move they make must be recorded and reported, especially them What happened after leaving the sect. Another person was sent to spread the word, saying that the sect was going to organize a major operation against the Qianyi sect.

The man surnamed Wu hesitated for a while and asked: "If they leave the sect again, do they need to be followed? I'm afraid they will find out."

"You don't need to worry about this. You only need to keep an eye on their every move within the sect, including looking for their behavior outside. After the news is released this time, you must pay close attention to them to see who is inquiring about this matter."

"clear."

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, outside the Taoist temple there are cavalry and more than a hundred soldiers with armor and weapons, divided into several teams, riding high on the horses, galloping back and forth on patrol. No one is allowed to approach within a radius of five miles.

In mid-air, a man was walking with a sword, holding two thin, petite and unconscious women in his arms, and fell to the Taoist temple. With a flick of his arm, the two women fell to the ground, unconscious.

Inside the temple, four tall and sturdy men in Tsing Yi hurried up to them and bowed down in salute.

The man waved his hand: "Push these two people into the dungeon and train them hard." After saying that, he put his hands behind his hands and walked towards the palace.

The four men in green clothes said so, and carried the two women to a corner of the side hall. They turned the candlelight stand and the ground moved to both sides with a rumble, revealing a wide underground passage.

Several people went down to the dungeon, but could not walk more than a few dozen feet. They heard the sound of wailing and screaming underground. With expressionless faces, a few people pushed the two women into a prison, added iron chains, and strode And go.

In the dungeon, there are dozens of iron-sill cages lined up closely, holding nearly a dozen cardamom women. Most of them are half-clothed, with scars all over their bodies, and even some are rotten and smelly. The room on the other side Inside, the hall was full of torture instruments, and wailing sounds could be heard constantly.

Two strong men were torturing a young woman who was tied up with iron chains. Many torture instruments were used at once, and there was no good flesh on the woman's body.

A big man placed a red-hot Luoti seal on her belly, and the woman screamed and passed out.

"Give her some medicine and pull her down," the big man said.

Another man took out many porcelain bottles from the cabinet and sprinkled the medicinal powder on the woman's skin one by one.

Just as he was about to untie the chains on her body, he suddenly heard a slight sigh.

He looked back and was shocked when he saw a figure slowly walking out of the wall. It was a young man with a straight nose and deep eyes.

"Who are you? This is a forbidden area of ​​the Lu family. No one is allowed to enter without permission." The big man shouted loudly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the two heads rolled down. Tang Ning looked at the woman in front of her who was bound by iron chains and her hair was disheveled. She didn't move for a long time, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Anger, helplessness, confusion, pity, and many other emotions suddenly surged into my heart.

He had long heard that after the Dou family was executed, the Lu family took over the Dou family's property, including the Wangxichuan business.

This time I returned to Qinchuan. After walking around Wangxichuan, I couldn't help but want to come here to have a look. I found that everything was the same as before, no change from decades ago.

He couldn't help but recall the scene in Feilong Mountain where the bodies of the Dou family were scattered everywhere and blood flowed into channels.

Dou Bolun's appearance with disheveled hair and split eyes kept reappearing in his mind.

He lured Dou Bolun into rebelling against him and betrayed the Dou family, and finally broke his promise and killed his entire family just because he resented the Dou family's cruel methods.

But the scenes before him now shocked him greatly. The Dou family had been executed by the clan, but Wang Xichuan still existed and the dungeon remained the same.

What’s the point of killing the Dou family by our own clan! Do so many children of the Dou family really deserve to die?

The Dou family fell, and the Lu family took over. The Lu family fell, and another family took over.

The people came one after another, and the executions were endless.

He closed his eyes, with countless thoughts pouring out of his mind. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of confusion.

In the main hall of the Taoist temple, a handsome man with handsome features was sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes and practicing Qi.

Outside the door, footsteps sounded, and someone pushed the door open. The man opened his eyes and was slightly startled: "You are."

Before he finished speaking, a ray of light flashed, and the man fell down with blood flowing from his chest.

Outside the door, there were already a mass of corpses. Tangning had no expression on his face as he turned into a ray of light and rose into the sky. He also knew that killing the few stationed monks and this loser would be of no benefit, but only to vent the anger in his chest.

In the dungeon, many women rushed out at once, making a huge noise and rushing out.

In the Lu family's residence, a man pointed his sword straight down and walked into the main hall with a hurried look.

In the hall, Lu Xin was sitting cross-legged on the futon. He opened his eyes and saw that the man had a strange look on his face. He asked, "What's wrong? Are you in a hurry?"

"Uncle, all the untransformed women we imprisoned in Chaotian Guan have escaped. All the men stationed at Chaotian Guan have been killed, including Tianbao, Brother Zhu, and Hua Yi." The man said quickly.

Lu Xinqian's expression changed slightly when he heard this: "Who did it?"

"It's still unclear. I have sent people to arrest those women who escaped."

"Where's Wang Xichuan! Is something okay?"

"No."

Lu Xinqiang looked suspicious and was silent for a long time. He recalled that when the Dou family was executed by the clan, it was also a normal situation. First, the imprisoned woman escaped, Wang Xichuan was destroyed, and then a series of events were triggered. Who was dealing with him?

He feels that the matter is not simple, and the other party will definitely make follow-up actions. Is it possible that the Lu family will also follow the Dou family's path?

"Immediately check who did it. No matter what the cost, we must find out."

"Yes." The man accepted the order and left.

Lu Xinqian couldn't sit still anymore, so he left the hall and turned into a ray of light and left.

Yuanxiu Peak is located in the northwest of Qinchuan, bordering Longyou. It has high and dangerous peaks, shrouded in clouds and mist, and rugged rocks. You can hear the cries of white apes and see dancing cranes. The scenery is unique.

On the top of the peak, stands a majestic and majestic attic, with five shining golden characters written on it, Yuanxiu Peak Gambling House.

There are always people coming and going in front of the attic door.

Tang Ning arrived with her sword and entered the pavilion. The spacious hall was extremely luxuriously decorated, with stone pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the walls all around were made of crystal. They were crystal clear and the aura of nobility hit her face.

A pretty woman walked up to him slowly: "It seems that I have never met this Taoist friend before. He rarely comes to this pavilion!"

Tangning nodded and said, "I'm from South China."

The woman said: "The room on the first floor of this pavilion has five spirit stones for one bet, the room on the second floor has ten spirit stones for one bet, and the room on the third floor for twenty spirit stones has one bet. There are also special private rooms with no limit on bets.

Do you know which floor you want to have fun on?"

"Then let's go to the third floor!"

"Okay, fellow Taoist, please come with me." The woman led him to a cabinet and said, "Fellow Taoist, you can exchange chips here."

Tang Ning took out a thousand spirit stones and handed them to a man in the cabinet.

The man took out fifty red and round stones from the lower layer of the cabinet. Each stone was about the size of a steel ball. They were numbered and engraved with special patterns. He loaded them with a black ink disk and handed them to her.

This millstone is one foot in diameter and has dozens of pits in it. Each pit is exactly the size of a stone. One pit is filled with ten stones, which is clearly visible at a glance.

Tang Ning took the ink plate and went up to the third floor with the woman. They stopped in front of a stone room. The woman took out the jade pendant and closed it in the recess of the stone wall. The stone door turned around.

There were four men sitting inside, some were smiling happily, some were frowning in thought.

Seeing Tangning walking in, several people turned to look at him.

Tang Ning sat down next to the fair-faced man and placed the ink tray on the stone table.

The entire stone chamber is separated by blue staccato stones and is about two feet long and wide. The gaming table can accommodate up to six people placing bets at the same time.

There are more than ten kinds of gambling methods in the world, and each room has its own way of playing. The method of playing in this room is called gambling.

The rules are very simple. There are two players, the banker and the player. Each side has five cards, and the cards have ten numbers from zero to nine. Whoever has the higher card among the five cards wins.

The person in charge of the gambling table will turn out two cards first and leave three cards until everyone places their bets.

Everyone can place bets on the banker and player sides.

There are forty cards in each deck, consisting of the suit and color. Each card is carved from black stone, which can completely isolate the monk's spiritual consciousness from prying eyes. It is about one inch long and half an inch thick.

After a round is over, the person in charge of the gambling table collects all the cards distributed and puts them into the huge millstone under the stone table.

He took out a new set of shuffled stone cards.

Each gambling table has at least two stone tiles. After a game, immediately clear it again and take out the other one.

The millstone under the stone table is actually a special spiritual machine that can automatically clean the stone tablets and eliminate the traces and smells left behind.

This is to prevent others from leaving marks by unknown means.

Mo Ran was surrounded by a stone wall built with obsidian stones to prevent others from prying into the place. Only two small holes were left under the person in charge of the gaming table, one for entry and one for exit.

As long as you put the stone tablets into the hole on one side, they will automatically be drawn into the grinding disc for cleaning. After washing, they will be arranged neatly and spit out from the other side.

The person in charge of the gambling table here is a beautiful woman with only the fifth level of Qi refining.

Tang Ning played all day and night until the sky turned white before leaving the gambling house. He was lucky enough to win thirty stones and put them into the ink tray. When he exchanged them below, the other party gave him one thousand five hundred and forty spirits.

stone.

One thousand spirit stones were his capital, and the other five hundred and forty spirit stones were his profit. It was originally six hundred spirit stones, but the gambling house wanted to take 10% of the profit, so sixty spirit stones were deducted.

Tang Ning came out of the attic, flew away with her flying sword, and returned here around noon the next day, until the sky turned white.
Chapter completed!
