Secret Dice

Yaowang Valley is located in Nanling, at the junction of the southwest of the Central Plains and southern Xinjiang. To get here, you first have to walk out of the Zhongzhou Mountains through a canyon of nearly 300 miles, and then pass through a plain area of ​​more than 500 miles to enter the Nanling Mountains.

"Cheer up!" Tie Jingang looked at the team: "After leaving Tongda Town, even if you leave the Bainamen's sphere of influence, you may be attacked by bandits at any time!"

"Bandits? Haven't we encountered them before?" a student questioned.

"Ahem..." Tie Jin just coughed twice, "I mean, before it was just a small fight, in the future the bandits may be more ferocious! Don't take it lightly."

That being said, there is more than one Bainamen sect in the Zhongzhou Mountains. In addition to Tongda Town, there is also a town at the entrances and exits to the north, east, south, and west of the mountain range. After all, it is a transportation thoroughfare. The huge flow of people forms a town and supports nearby sects.

Even the cottages that were originally bandits have discovered after so many years of development that it is definitely more comfortable to rely on towns and cities to collect protection fees and door-to-door fees than to rob homes, kill people and sell goods. Many large cottages use this golden basin to wash their hands and stop being bandits. Even in Nearby towns have their own industries and are beginning to transition to serious sects.

Therefore, the Zhongzhou Mountains stretch for 500 miles, with a total of five towns and countless small mountain villages. Among them, in addition to Bainamen, there are four relatively small sects. In order to ensure the flow of passengers in the mountains, these Jianghu sects still work hard to maintain law and order within their sphere of influence. It is difficult for ordinary thieves to find employment here.

After three days of trekking, the escort team arrived at Shannan Town at the southern end of the mountain range.

There were no more attacks along the way, and the students couldn't help but start to relax, talking and laughing all the way. Even if Teacher Tie asked for warnings, the atmosphere began to change in the direction of the autumn outing.

At the entrance of the town, officials were inspecting goods and collecting tolls. It would be better for a local snake to come forward for this kind of thing. After some negotiation by Li Xinyu, he finally managed to get through at a fairly fair price.

"Even if you officially enter the Central Plains after leaving here, most merchants are more willing to spend some money than the transportation costs caused by detours." Lu Fei introduced to Luo Jun: "Not only here, but also in other towns. They will charge tolls, and the price is not low. The government only takes part of it and has to give another part to the nearby sects.”

"For example, in the mountains to the east of Shannan Town, there is Qingfeng Village. It is said that there was a group of powerful bandits decades ago. Later, they changed their ways and started doing legitimate business. They also provided protection for Shannan Town and colluded with the government. .”

"They say there is collusion between officials and businessmen, but here is actually a collusion between officials and bandits?" Luo Jun was speechless after hearing this.

"There is no way, this is [Martial Arts] after all, and strictly speaking, Qingfeng Village can no longer be regarded as bandits. Lu Fei smiled and shook his head. "After so many years of operation, although it is not a famous sect, it is It is considered a powerful force in the world, and everyone who comes from north to south has to be given some face. "

"I heard that Qingfeng Village has three masters, all of whom are top-notch masters. Among them, the eldest master and the second master are both very young. They usually either sit in the village or deal with the martial arts comrades, and they are rarely seen. In the town, The third boss is mainly responsible for the business. He is good at using a silver spear, and he often travels around the town. You must be polite when you encounter him, after all, he is a local snake..."

"There are so many things to pay attention to..." Luo Jun nodded, and suddenly asked curiously: "Does Tongda Town also have tolls? Why don't you remember paying them?"

Lu Fei looked at Luo Jun with an expression that looked like a fool: "Tongda Town is Bainamen's territory, why should I pay for it at my own house?"

Luo Jun slapped his forehead and forgot about this.

Compared with Tongda Town, which gathers visitors from all over the world, Shannan Town is also very prosperous, but its scale is much smaller. The permanent population is only about 10,000 people, and there are not enough vacancies in the inn to book a hotel. A team of fifty people, Eventually they split into three groups and stayed in three inns.

"Don't run around at night this time." Before the team dispersed, Tie Jingang gave one final instruction: "The security here is not as good as that in Tongda Town. Although Qingfeng Village is in charge, it is a bandit after all, and its behavior is rather reckless. You are new here. , it’s easy to get into trouble. When you arrive at your respective inn, you should follow your senior brother’s instructions!”

There are five people including uncle and senior brother. Tie Jingang leads a team by himself, and the other four people are separated in twos, each leading a team. The leaders of Luo Jun's team are senior brother Song from the martial arts sect and senior sister Deng from the incantation sect. .

Not in their own territory, everything must be kept low-key, and the accommodation conditions are also greatly reduced. The room is shared by four people, so Luo Jun, Lu Fei, Zhao Jian and Xu Yiming just share the same room.

Next door, there were Ling Xin, Lao Miaomiao and two girls.

Yes, I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but Luo Jun, Ling Xin, and Senior Sister Miao were assigned to the same group.

Even if this group doesn't have a leader, its combat power is quite impressive... Luo Jun thought in his mind, not to mention Ling Xin, Lao Miaomiao is also the top level among this group of students, and Lu Fei. In addition to lacking [Martial Arts], these people 】The experience and combat ability are no worse than those of those senior brothers and sisters, maybe even better!

However, the team leaders, Senior Brother Song and Senior Sister Deng, are less powerful and experienced than the other two senior brothers. I don’t know if this arrangement was intentional.

Check-in time was a little late today. After dinner, it was already dark. Everyone went back to their rooms to rest. In Luo Jun's room, some of his buddies were lying down and chatting.

Twenty-year-old boys were young and vigorous. Apart from cultivation, sports, games and the like, the topics they talked about were mostly girls.

"Eh? Tell me, is Ling Xin interested in me?"

Somewhat abruptly, Zhao Jian suddenly said this.

"Huh?!" The other three people asked in unison.

"You..." Xu Yiming looked at his classmate: "I have a relative who is a psychiatrist. I will ask him to look at you when I return to the main world."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Jian said angrily, "I'm not kidding!"

"What makes you so confident?" Lu Fei also felt incredible. "That's the Golden Edge Witch, a genius who is one of the best in the Ling family, in Cathay, and even in the entire world... To be honest, in terms of true strength, I'm afraid she can beat 90% of the teachers in the academy. I'd be happy if she could come here to study." Very surprised..."

"Maybe she came for me." Zhao Jian rubbed his chin and nodded seriously: "Although I don't remember when I came into contact with her."

"I feel like a psychiatrist can no longer save you." Xu Yiming sighed: "You have to find a psychiatrist..."

"Please keep your voice down..." Luo Jun hissed and pointed to the wall: "I'm right next door. This brick wall may not be able to block our whispers. Don't chat while a golden light breaks through the wall. "Brothers, let's finish playing with you!"

"No...don't you all notice?" Zhao Jian looked incredulous: "On the way, she always looks in my direction from time to time. I have inadvertently looked at her many times. And every time I look at her, After a while, she would turn her head away, she must be shy!"

"After you said that..." Xu Yiming touched his chin and recalled: "I seem to have looked at her..."

"Me too..." Lu Fei recalled and nodded.

"Have you all discovered it?" Zhao Jian said in surprise, "Do you believe me now?"

"I believe you are tall!" Xu Yiming said: "If you say so, you might be looking at me!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Zhao Jian bulged his dark biceps and said firmly: "She is definitely conquered by my male charm..."

"I think the possibility of looking at Lu Fei is greater than looking at you..." Xu Yiming clapped his fingers and said: "Just tell me, comparing strength, appearance, even your so-called masculine charm, what point can you compare to? Lu Fei’s?”

"Don't get involved with me..." Lu Fei waved his hands hurriedly: "The Ling family clan is beyond my reach..."

"What..." When the three of them were arguing, Luo Jun raised his hand quietly: "I feel like she might be looking at me..."

"You?" Several people looked at Luo Jun.

Luo Jun nodded: "Actually, Ling Xin and I are high school classmates. We knew each other before we entered school..."

"Huh?!" Several people said in surprise: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You didn't ask before?" Luo Jun spread his hands: "Besides, she and I didn't even talk a few words in high school, and we weren't very familiar with each other... But after all, we are classmates, and she is so powerful, so she might be a little bit fond of me. Take care of it..."

"I remember..." Lu Fei touched his chin: "She did help you block the flying money in Tongda Town before!"

"Right?" Luo Jun smiled: "And I heard, I heard... Ling Xin should have someone he cares about... Although I don't know who it is, I should have known him for a long time..."

As he said that, he looked at Zhao Jian: "I remember you are from Chaicheng, right? Have you been to Ningdong before?"

Zhao Jian shook his head.

"What about Lingyun Island? Apart from this internship in Wilderness, have you been there before?"

"nor……"

"Then don't think about it." Luo Jun spread his hands and said, "There's no chance, just go to bed."

"Why is this like this..." Zhao Jian looked unwilling and said aggrievedly: "You... how could you destroy the dream of a green and beautiful young man!"

"You're still green..." Xu Yiming said sarcastically: "At best, it's black garlic!"

"Hahaha..." Several people in the room laughed together, and suddenly there was a loud noise, and the whole inn shook.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Jian instinctively grabbed the quilt and looked at the next door: "Could it be that...our conversation was really overheard by the Golden Blade Witch?"

"It's not over there!" Lu Fei's face became serious: "It's coming from outside!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fire shot up into the sky outside the window, followed by another loud noise!
