Chapter 667 Detention
When several people heard this, they felt resentful and resentful, but they dared not speak out in anger.
The gray-haired man said: "We have stayed on this island for decades, and we have always made a living by hunting monsters in the sea. Many chambers of commerce on the dock know our identity. If you don't believe me, just ask and we will find out."
"Hand over your storage bag, I want to verify your identity."
When Xiao Mobai heard this, he couldn't help it anymore and said loudly: "Our fishing team has been at this dock on Jining Island for more than thirty years. Everyone knows that you have only been on Jining Island for less than half a year. Why are you searching us?"
?The world has never heard of a place where monks’ personal belongings can be searched at will.”
The guard man said: "I am guarding this city by the alliance's decree. Now I suspect that you are the remnants of the Demon Sect. I want to interrogate and verify you. If you resist stubbornly, you will be responsible for the consequences. Come and take these people away."
"Yes." More than ten figures next to them flashed and surrounded them. The sky-piercing crossbows in their hands emitted dazzling light, condensed arrows, and aimed at them.
When several people saw this change, their expressions changed greatly, and they looked at each other in confusion.
Xiao Mobai was furious and was about to resist when the gray-haired man beside him pulled his arm: "We are willing to accept your alliance's investigation and confirm our identity."
"Fellow Daoist Yu, go and collect their storage bags." The man at the head of the guard said.
A monk stepped forward and said, "Please hand over the storage bag."
The man with gray hair on his temples was the first to hand over the storage bag on his waist. Seeing this, several other people also handed over their storage bags. Only Xiao Mo, whose white face was as dark as water, remained motionless, his eyes fixed on the leader of the guard monks.
.
"Fellow Taoist, please hand over your storage bag."
"Brother Xiao, the situation is stronger than the situation, so don't act on impulse!" The man with gray hair on the temples whispered beside him.
Xiao Mobai slowly lifted the storage bag from his waist and handed it to the man.
"Fellow Taoists, please come with us." The guard man named Yu said after collecting several people's storage bags.
Several people turned around and followed him, with three monks on each side escorting them. The group came to a huge light curtain. The leader waved his hand, and the talisman disappeared into the room.
Not long after, the light curtain melted and a gap appeared, and everyone filed in, arriving at a pavilion. Inside, there were several men sitting at the desk.
The man surnamed Yu led them to another man and said, "Fellow Daoist Fang, our team has detained several unidentified monks and needs to be verified."
The man surnamed Fang glanced at several people: "I understand."
"Okay, then I'll take my leave first. These are their storage bags." The man surnamed Yu said. After handing him a few storage bags, he went straight out of the hall.
The man surnamed Fang turned over the file in his hand and asked: "Where are you from?"
Several people answered one by one.
"You say you are a casual cultivator, can anyone prove it?"
The gray-haired man said: "The people from the Baoyuan Chamber of Commerce Property Management Pavilion can confirm that we bought the fishing boat from their Chamber of Commerce and have stored it in their property management pavilion for repair and maintenance for decades."
"What is the purpose of your coming here this time?"
"The original intention was to go to sea to hunt monsters, but the monks from the Property Management Pavilion suggested that we should not go to sea to hunt during this period, so we did not set off."
The man surnamed Fang asked many questions and recorded the files one by one, and finally said: "We will send people to find out your specific identities, and we will wait here for a while. If you are not the remnant of the Demon Sect, we will definitely pay you back.
Innocent, the storage bag will be returned when the time comes, please come with me!"
Several people followed him out of the hall and came to a green light curtain. They handed a talisman and entered. Soon, the light curtain melted and everyone entered the inner room.
Inside is a flat and spacious land, covering an area of about several miles, with rows of houses arranged neatly.
There is a majestic hall in the center. The man surnamed Fang led them to a wooden house in the northwest corner: "The wronged people will rest in this house for a few days. After we find out your identity, we will take you out. There is a
One thing, I want to remind you, you can practice here with peace of mind and don’t cause trouble, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences.”
After that, he ignored them and left.
Several people entered the room and fell into dead silence for a while.
"These bastards are too arrogant. I can't wait for the Mubei Allied Forces to go south. Will they still be so arrogant?" One person said through gritted teeth.
"Speak softly, be careful that the walls have ears." The gray-haired man on the temples said in a low voice, his face slightly changed: "Nowadays, I am a swordsman and I am a fish, so I can only endure it for a while."
Xiao Mobai said nothing, with his fists slightly clenched and his eyes sharp.
At night, when several people were bored, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
Several people looked at each other with happy expressions on their faces. They thought they were monks from the dock guard. After finding out their identities, they let themselves and others go back.
Xiao Mobai stood up and opened the door, but saw two men standing outside, one was tall and the other had a broad forehead.
"Fellow Daoist Feng, Fellow Daoist Chen, why are you here?" Xiao Mobai said slightly surprised when he saw it was the two of them.
"Just like you, they invited me to sleep here." The man with a broad forehead and a broad face said angrily.
"Please come in quickly." Xiao Mobai said, and the three of them entered the room and greeted several others.
"Fellow Daoist Feng, Fellow Daoist Chen, why are you two here?" Xiao Mobai asked.
The burly man said: "Last month, my fleet went to sea to hunt monsters. When we came back, they checked us and insisted that our identities were unclear. They forcibly seized our fishing boats and storage bags and brought us here.
Already."
The broad-faced man said: "At that time, my fleet was preparing to go to sea. They were interrogated by them to make things difficult. After a few words, they seized the boat and storage bags under the pretext of unknown identity and escorted them here.
.Where are you, Fellow Daoist Xiao! What's going on?"
Xiao Mobai said: "We were about to leave the city, and they asked to search our storage bags. I couldn't calm down, so I said a few words of justice and were taken away by them. If Taoist Fellow Wang hadn't stopped me at that time, I would definitely not have suffered this.
Bad breath."
The burly man sighed: "Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Wang stopped you. If you really start a fight with them, the consequences will be disastrous. I saw with my own eyes that Fellow Daoist Xun Tianyuan fought with them because he was dissatisfied with their overbearing behavior, and was beaten on the spot."
Killed."
The broad-faced man said angrily: "These bastards have always been used to being domineering. They don't take people like us seriously at all. They kill them when they say it and imprison them when they say it. The remnants of the Demon Sect are just tools for them to make money."
He said, nine out of ten of our fishing team were imprisoned by them under clever pretexts, and the fishing boats and storage bags naturally went into their pockets. Now I just hope that Yu Mubei’s alliance army will go south as soon as possible, and it’s best to kill these bastards.”
Xiao Mobai said: "By the way, how did you know that we were imprisoned here?"
"This place is so big. The people here are all unlucky ones. They took away their storage bags and had nothing to do all day long. We usually chat and play chess together. Today I heard that another team has been locked up. We just inquired and found out.
It’s Fellow Daoist Xiao, so I came here to take a look.”
"Oh." Xiao Mobai nodded and said, "I wonder how long the two Taoist friends have been here?"
"We have been locked up for almost a month."
"So long?" Xiao Mobai frowned slightly: "Have they not investigated clearly yet?"
The broad-faced man couldn't help but curse: "Their investigation is just an excuse. The purpose is not to make money. The longest we have been detained here has been nearly three months. I don't think they intend to release us."
out."
The burly man said: "We are currently serving fish and meat on someone's chopping board. Whether we can get out from here depends on their mood."
Xiao Mobai was silent, the three of them chatted for a while, and then the other two left.
More than ten days passed by in a flash. On this day, Xiao Mobai and others were sitting cross-legged in the room, when a ray of light came from outside, and a man with a leopard head and ape arms appeared, it was the man named Fang.
He pushed the door straight in, glanced at a few people, and asked, "Who is Xiao Mobai."
Several people looked at each other with surprise and suspicion. Xiao Mobai stood up and said, "I just don't know what's wrong with you, friend?"
"Come with me!" the man said, turning around and walking away.
Xiao Mobai glanced at a few people and followed behind them. The two of them jumped out of the light, walked straight out of the light curtain, and came to the front of a majestic hall, which was the same hall when they entered.
The two of them entered the hall and came to a desk. Next to it stood a man with a fair complexion.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, people have brought it."
The pale-faced man glanced at him and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"
Xiao Mobai was surprised, because he had never seen this person before, so he didn't know where he said this, but under the current situation, he couldn't ask more questions, so he just nodded slightly.
"This is your storage bag. Now that your identity has been found and the property has been returned to its original owner, you can leave." The man surnamed Fang said, turning his hand over and handing him a storage bag and a file: "
Please sign and pledge it!"
Xiao Mobai did as he was told and received his storage bag back.
"Fellow Daoist Fang, thank you very much. Fellow Daoist Xiao, let's go!" the white-faced man said, and the two of them left the room, and the light was rising.
"I dare to ask my friend's name, but I really don't remember where I met my friend." The two of them were walking side by side, Xiao Mobai looked at the man and asked.
"My Excellency Wang Xianye, although I have never met Daoist Fellow Xiao before, I have been famous for a long time! To be honest, I was entrusted by someone to come here to bail Fellow Daoist Xiao."
“I wonder who is entrusting this fellow Taoist?”
"Fellow Taoist Zhang Xuanye and Taoist Xiao must be acquaintances here. After he heard that Taoist friend was being imprisoned, he asked me to come forward to bail him out."
"It turns out to be Brother Zhang." Xiao Mobai suddenly said: "I have an unkind request, and I hope my fellow Taoist will grant it."
Wang Xianye said: "I know what fellow Taoist is doing. You want me to bail out several other fellow Taoists who are in the same fishing team as you! I'm not afraid of fellow Taoist's jokes. I don't have the dignity to bail out so many people.
