Dark Fairy

Chapter 8
In the days that followed, Bailang rested at home recovering from his injuries.The injury improved much faster than he expected.He originally thought it would take at least a month to recover, but now in just three days, he no longer felt the pain of the wound, instead it turned into a progressively painful itching.

This is a sign that the wound is healing rapidly, but compared to the pain, the itching seems to be more uncomfortable now.

Injured this time, Bailang felt that the sword hall took good care of the deserving disciples.

Two catties of meat bones and half a catty of fat meat every two days.This treatment alone is not afforded by ordinary forces.

Zhou Dong, a street wanderer who had led Bailang for more than two years, visited him twice and left a lot of money on the table as a token of his gratitude.This is a lot of money, especially for a street wanderer like Zhou Dong.Originally Bai Lang didn't want it, but Zhou Dong laughed and said that he won it by playing money in the money shop. If Bai Lang didn't want it, he might have to lose it, so he might as well take advantage of his brothers.

Zhou Dong is alone, Bailang knows this.And Zhou Dong's two biggest hobbies are playing with money and shopping in buildings.In his own words, there are very few people in the knife shop who can die well.If you are lucky, you will die after spending all your money.If you are unlucky and die before the money is used, that is a huge loss.

So after being with the other party for two years, Bai Lang still has a good grasp of Zhou Dong's temper. It's the kind of brother who recognizes you and treats you as a passerby.He is a rare upright person in the knife shop.

"Your boy is lucky this time. Don't dare to do this again." Zhou Dong scooped a ladle of water from the water tank and drank it to quench his thirst. Then he sat back on the chair and pointed to the bandage on Bai Lang's body with a smile on his face. . "You still have two little ones to raise. If you die, they will suffer. Just take it easy!"

"Hey, what Brother Dong said is true. I didn't have time to think about it at the time. That guy didn't look like a master. Who knew he was hiding deep enough. It won't be like this next time, don't worry, Brother Dong."

"It's good that you know it yourself. By the way, you asked me to help you ask the question last time. "

"Oh? Brother Dong asked so soon?"

"Well, that group of people has been in the city lately. If there's more movement, there will be more news. What's so difficult about us street wanderers doing this kind of thing?
The person who rescued you in the East Market last time was called Li Jiang, he was the head of the blood guard of the state capital, and he was said to be a third-rank warrior. "

Bailang's eyes jumped when he heard the words "third-grade warrior". A few days ago, a seventh-grade warrior almost killed him. Now a third-grade warrior. He couldn't even imagine what the other party could do. It must be terrifying. .

Swallowing saliva secretly, Bailang continued to ask: "Brother Dong, what does this blood guard do? Brother Xun was not allowed to ask questions at the East Market before, and everyone had to avoid it. Is it all this crooked?"

"Yuzhong, the state capital, in terms of jurisdiction, they are in charge of our Yongchuan City. It's just the geographical relationship, the roads are mountainous and dangerous, and communication is inconvenient, so there is little contact. But when they really come, the people in the City Lord's Mansion dare not offend .Do you understand this truth? It’s like those waist knives in the knife shop. They don’t usually interact with us, but if they really ask us to do things, they can’t be provoked and can’t be rejected. Understand?”

"Understood Brother Dong, what about the blood guard?"

"The Blood Guards are said to be the most powerful thugs in the state capital. There are two guards in total, and the entry requirement is a sixth-grade warrior. Do you think our knife studio can afford to offend others?
So, don't worry about people saving your life.If you really want to remember, just ask for longevity in your heart.Don't get too close to anything else, otherwise people will look down on you, lest you end up in trouble. "

Bailang should be, on the one hand, he really wanted to thank the other party for saving his life.On the other hand, he also wanted to find out the other party's background, because he was always inexplicably worried that these blood guards from the state capital that suddenly appeared seemed to be related to the man in black and the clay figurine that night.

After talking about Bai Lang, Zhou Dong followed his previous words and chatted: "Those Blood Guards have caused misery to everyone in the city in recent days."

"what happened?"

"They seemed to be looking for someone. They also seemed to be looking for something. Not only were they searching inns, charity halls, and major horse and carriage stores, they were also searching for boxes from various markets. Open it and take a look.

The people in the yamen were driven around like dogs.The people in our knife shop were chased everywhere by the government again.I'm exhausted.You kid can take it easy this time because of his injury, otherwise he would be like me, breaking his legs running all day and getting blisters on his feet.
This is not only the case in the city, but also outside the city.The surrounding waterways and the small forest outside Dongcheng were overturned by them by three feet.I don't even know what I'm looking for."

If Bai Lang had any guesses in his mind before, hearing Zhou Dong's words now confirmed his previous guesses.

In other words, these blood guards really came for the man in black that night, or in other words, they came for the "Qi Nourishing Technique" of the Clay Figure Sculpture!
And depending on the situation, these blood guards were sure that the clay figurines should be around Yongchuan City and did not go far.This is either because they captured the man in black, or they intercepted and killed the man in black near Yongchuan City, and if the man in black did not have a clay figurine on his body, it would be concluded that the clay figurine was hidden in Yongchuan by the man in black Somewhere in the city, or maybe the man in black has a supporting companion?That's why I'm looking for people and things.

After thinking for a while, Bai Lang pretended to be curious and asked again: "Brother Dong, the number of goods passing in and out of Yongchuan City is not a small amount. There are at least several hundred large and small cars every day. Each box If they are all open, can they check it?"

"Hey, what if Renzhou Prefecture's methods are different? They have a kind of copper plate in their hand, which is like being able to sense the contents of the box through the box. Car after car passes by, and the speed is surprisingly fast. I was I still didn’t believe it when I heard it, so I went to see the excitement, don’t tell me, their kind of checking method really can’t miss anything.”

Copper plate?Bai Lang didn't know what it was, and Zhou Dong didn't seem to know either.But from Zhou Dong's judgment, it can be heard that the copper plate is used to find objects.Once you get close to the thing you want to find, the copper plate should produce some kind of reaction as a warning.This kind of thing is not uncommon in the other world Bailang is familiar with. Although the principles are different, the general effect should be similar.

This news is not good, but it is not terribly bad news for Bailang.Because the clay figurines have now completely turned into a puddle of muddy water and flushed into the ditch. "Nursing Qi Jue" has also become a piece of exercise in his consciousness and there is no other entity.As long as the man in black is dead, he doesn't think the other party can find him.Because in his opinion, he doesn't have any logical relationship that can be doubted.
