I have an eternal eye

"Jerky, bacon!"

"Sugar mung bean cake!"

"Stew rabbit head, stew rabbit head!"

In the West Market, there is a huge flow of people. Both lanes sell various snacks and snacks, and the sounds of hawking are heard one after another.

Although Yixi Market is very prosperous all year round, except when it is closed on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is extremely crowded these days.

There is no other reason, the Autumn Zao Festival is coming.

Farming and cultivating the land, watching the weather while eating, are all about good weather. Therefore, the two major festivals of Spring Plowing and Autumn Stove Festival every year are as lively as the Lantern Festival.

At that time, the emperor will entertain the officials, the wealthy market will hold temple fairs, and the people's homes will also have a lot of troubles.

When there are more people, there are more troubles.

A thief who stole money was discovered and chased down the street, with a lot of excitement...

There were pedestrians quarreling and shouting and yelling...

There are libertines who come and go and take advantage of older girls and younger wives...

"Mom, watch your children and don't run around!"

At a stall selling pear juice, a vendor kindly reminded customers, "There have been a lot of human traffickers recently, and more than a dozen children have been lost."

"What?"

The old woman was startled and quickly grabbed her running grandson, "You little bastard, stay safe!"

The vendor chuckled, then filled another bowl and handed it to the side, "Sir, this is yours."

After Zhang Biao took it, he drank it in several gulps, wiped his mouth, and asked casually: "Has anything strange happened in the West Market recently?"

He was talking to the hawker, but his head was looking at the ghost willow tree in the distance, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

He has obviously entered the Qi refining stage, he is considered a monk, and his spiritual sense is stronger, but he cannot feel the Yin Qi of Guitou Liu.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

Could it be that Guitouliu has changed again?

Zhang Biao narrowed his eyes slightly and without hesitation, used his spiritual vision.

Now that he has successfully gained Qi, even if he consumes energy and energy, he can recover it as quickly as possible through meditation without affecting the battle.

After a slight delay, a large amount of information came flooding in:

Jade Capital City Ghost Willow (Yellow Level 2nd Grade)

1. The place of execution in Yujing City has accumulated blood and resentment for three hundred years, and has been struck by lightning nine times without being extinguished. It has become intertwined with the spiritual world, turning it into an entrance and creating a barrier of its own.

2. In that spiritual world where darkness and reality are mixed, the remaining souls are trapped in the melancholy darkness. They are bound in the past, unable to let go or leave.

3. Beware of shadows in the dark…

4. Don’t step into it easily…

Sure enough, there has been a change!

In the past, it was only intertwined with the spiritual world, but now it has become a portal and a self-generated barrier.

No wonder I can't feel the yin energy.

When Zhang Biao understood this, he felt a sense of joy. Fortunately, he was cautious and did not take action rashly.

But this thing must have a mechanism.

In the Snake Mountain Cave, the witch temple collapsed and everyone was easily led into the spirit world. This mechanism must have been destroyed and the barrier failed.

Thinking of this, he shook his head slightly.

Although I have entered the Qi refining stage, I still know too little about these things. After learning about Xiao San, I must open the Nuo frontier as soon as possible...

Putting down the pear water bowl, Zhang Biao lifted the hood of his casual clothes, hiding his face in the shadows, and merged into the crowd...

…………

Businessmen gathered in the Western Market, but there was no confusion.

For example, pig iron stores, clothing stores, and similar shops are all gathered on the same street, forming a tacit understanding with each other. They are also managed by the Western Market Department. There is no vicious competition, and the prices are relatively reasonable.

Because of the strong smell, the cloth dyeing shop and the leather-making shop are far away from the main street and located in the deepest part of the West Market.

As Zhang Biao walked along, the number of pedestrians gradually decreased.

On the high walls behind the shops along the way, you can see a large number of bamboo poles drying dyed cloth, and there are even many on the streets.

Colorful, like a hanging curtain.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Zhang Biao immediately turned into the alley, stepped on the huge pottery vat, and using his strength from left to right, he jumped onto the roof beam.

On the scattered rooftops, he ran quickly, jumped vertically and horizontally, and quickly found his destination.

Taking advantage of the cover of the drying cloth, he squatted down and looked down with sharp eyes.

According to Cui Laodao's information, Xiao San was hiding in this Wang's dyeing workshop.

There are shops in the front and a small courtyard in the back.

Two strong women were rolling up their sleeves and lifting the cloth up and down in the dye vat. The bamboo poles in the courtyard were already covered with red cloth.

Everything looks normal.

Is the information wrong?

Zhang Biao was confused, his spiritual eyes moved, and he looked at one of the strong women.

Ma Chunhua (fan)

1. A woman living in Yujing City worked as a female worker in the Wang family dyeing workshop.

2. He experienced many hardships in his life. His husband died in hard labor, and his second son fell ill and died young. He was taciturn and cold-tempered.

3. To live is to live...

4. They are abducting children. Should I report it to the official? Forget it, other places cannot pay the wages here...

Kidnapping children?

Zhang Biao frowned slightly.

This is the characteristic of the spiritual eye. As his cultivation level increases, he can see more information about low-level objects.

The greater the level difference, the more information there is.

Xiao San was rescued by the Li Mansion and hid in this bustling West Market. Was it because he was abducting children?

Zhang Biao was a little confused.

At this moment, the back door creaked open, and two men came in.

Both of them wore felt hats and had big beards.

One person was pushing a wheelbarrow, while the other person was watching from behind, and then closed the courtyard door.

These two guys are evil!

Zhang Biao quickly used his spiritual vision.

Zhou Qing (Fan)

1. A local bully living in Yujing City was hired to steal young children in the West City.

2. When I was young, I was poor, suffered from oppression, was indolent, and wandered around. I dreamed of becoming a big shot once I became powerful.

3. Without money, you can’t even be a good person…

4. Things are getting weirder and weirder. That’s all. As long as you give me money, I dare to do anything...

Sure enough, it's here!

Zhang Biao suddenly became energetic.

I saw Zhou Qing stop the wheelbarrow, clear away the tangled grass, pick up a sleeping child from it, and walk towards the backyard warehouse, followed by another person.

The two women in the courtyard continued to work with their heads down, as if they didn't see anything at all.

Zhang Biao saw it and immediately understood.

This is a common technique used by kidnappers.

One person pushed a wheelbarrow to cover, and the other person was responsible for taking pictures of the charming flowers and hiding them in the haystacks.

When the victim discovered that the child was missing, he searched the streets for the child, but he had already escaped from the dark alley.

Zhang Biao looked around.

Although this place is somewhat remote, it is not yet certain whether Xiao San is hiding inside. If he were to scare the snake, it would be difficult to find him.

Thinking of this, he continued to wait patiently.

Not long after, there was a noise in the warehouse, and Zhou Qing and his wife walked out again, pushed the wheelbarrow and left the courtyard.

Still going to kidnap people?

Zhang Biao frowned slightly, a little confused.

There have always been many cases of human trafficking in Yujing City, and he has participated in a few of them. However, no matter how cruel Hanako is, he only takes action every few days to avoid making things worse.

These guys are really crazy...

About half an hour later, Zhou and Qing came back with the cart and picked up an unconscious child into the warehouse.

There must be a secret passage inside!

Zhang Biao made a quick judgment.

At this moment, the front shop clerk came into the hospital and asked two women to help carry the dye that had just been delivered.

Seeing that the courtyard was empty, Zhang Biao no longer hesitated and jumped forward suddenly, turning over in the air to release his strength.

After landing, he rushed forward and entered the warehouse before the two women returned.

There was no candlelight in the warehouse, so it seemed a little dark. The sun shone in from the door, and there was dust in the air.

The front was full of debris, leaving only one aisle. Zhang Biao guessed that the secret door was probably hidden in the back.

Sure enough, there was a squeaking sound.

Zhang Biao quickly stepped back, lowered his body, and hid in the shadows formed by the accumulation of debris.

"Mom, I took the wrong medicine today!"

I saw Zhou Qing touching his cheek, angrily walking out of the aisle, muttering: "On weekdays, two are enough, but today I want five. What if the Wuhous find out and slap me..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Another person scolded in a low voice: "As long as you give me a lot of money, it doesn't matter if you get a little angry..."

The two of them muttered and left the warehouse, pushed the wheelbarrow and walked towards the courtyard gate.

Zhang Biao took advantage of the blind spot of the two people's sight and immediately walked out of the shadows, walking lightly through the miscellaneous aisle.

There was a large open space behind and it was even darker, but Zhang Biao had been practicing night fighting for many years and had extraordinary eyesight. He immediately saw the wooden plank with iron rings on the ground.

Pulling it up gently, it turned out to be authentic.

Zhang Biao jumped down suddenly, and raised the scabbard of the horizontal sword at the same time, causing the wooden board to close slowly without making a sound.

The tunnel is not small, more than two meters high and one bed wide. The surrounding excavation marks are very old and there are also mold spots.

Zhang Biao is not surprised either.

Under the Jade Capital City, there are not only the tunnels left by Emperor Wu, but countless unscrupulous merchants and gangs have also dug them in all directions over the past three hundred years for escape and gray transactions.

What made him frown was that as soon as he entered the tunnel, he smelled a strange smell.

It's like something moldy, and there's a vague smell of flowers...

The tunnel is deep, and there is a corner about seven or eight meters ahead. There is a faint light from the fire and some sounds.

Zhang Biao's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He slowly unsheathed his sword, pressed against the wall, and walked forward with gentle steps.

Soon, we came to the corner.

He looked sideways and saw that the space inside was not small. There were cells all around. Through the arm-thick wooden bars, he could see young children lying inside.

There is another passage on the left, which is pitch black and leads nowhere.

In the center sat a fat man with a full beard, deep facial features, naked upper body, thick curly hair, drinking wine and eating meat.

Barbarians from the Western Regions?

Zhang Biao frowned, why wasn't he Xiao San?

At this moment, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the scene in the cell on the far right, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

There was a large urn inside the cell, and a child was placed in it with dirt from the neck down.

The child's eyes were dull, and his face was covered with mold and brightly colored mushrooms...
