Chapter 66: Things at the bottom of the well

 The familiar door of the house appeared in view. This is Zhou Shi’s third time coming here.

"Hope this is the last time..."

A small black figure appeared on the courtyard wall and waved his paw at him.

This was the signal agreed between Luo Ziqing and him, meaning "safety". Since he was not sure how much force would be available to guard the scene, he decided to make full use of Luo Ziqing's helper to eliminate those who interfered.

He ran forward, jumped up suddenly under the wall, grabbed the edge of the wall with both hands, and pulled his body to the top of the wall.

There was a person lying in a corner of the yard, seemingly in a deep sleep.

Zhou Shi jumped down and landed steadily in the yard. At the same time, the little fox also came to him and turned around twice. The tall girl replaced the little fox with three tails.

"Have you fainted?" Zhou Shi asked, pointing at the man.

That person was the yamen officer responsible for guarding the scene. At this moment, he was lying on the ground with his back turned and his hands tightly grasping the ground, as if he would fall off a bottomless cliff if he let go. Looking at his slightly trembling body, Zhou Shi

I feel a little funny.

"No, I just used illusion to make him mistake 'front' for 'down'. He can only lie on the ground to avoid falling. And now he can't see or hear anything."

It seems that no matter how powerful the illusion is, no matter how difficult it is to prevent, it can only confuse the senses. Zhou Shi felt that he had discovered the flaw of the fox demon illusion, and silently kept it in mind.

"This house is really small, compared with Yichun Garden." Luo Ziqing doesn't go out often, so seeing ordinary houses up close this time made her feel very fresh.

"Don't compare it with your Yichun Garden, this is a private house." Zhou Shi said helplessly, this is for people to live in, not for business.

"Why can't we compare? Aren't they all brothels?"

"How do you know this is... that kind of place?"

Luo Ziqing pointed to the door innocently and said, "You can see it from there. Isn't there a strip of bacon hanging at the door?"

Huh? Zhou Shi frowned.

"What do you mean?"

Luo Ziqing finally found something that she knew but Zhou Shi didn't know, with a proud look on her face.

"My aunt said that hanging bacon at the door is a sign of business, but it is relatively quiet here and usually only accepts regular customers. Also, the number of bacon is the number of girls."

Her words stunned Zhou Shi.

Is that so? This is actually a private brothel?

In this way, the name Xu Ling'er is also quite romantic...

Neither the government officials nor Zhou Shi had much contact with the flesh and blood industry. At most, they only knew about brothels and brothels. It was normal for them not to recognize the people at the door and remember them well. If Luo Ziqing, the leader of the industry, was not here, they would have

I really didn’t expect this place to be such a place!

"Is Xu Ling'er the 'girl' here? And Wu Zhaokun is the prostitute? There is a high possibility of conflict between the two, and Wu Zhaokun's motives can also be explained..." Zhou Shi felt that the progress of the case had advanced a lot, and he was grateful in his heart.

This time we have Luo Ziqing accompanying us.

"Go to the wall to show off. If anyone comes close, use magic to charm them." After saying this, Zhou Shi felt that "charm" was inappropriate.

"Okay." Luo Ziqing nodded and said, "Aren't you going to let the wind go? Then I will use illusion to inform you."

"No need." Zhou Shi said and began to take off his clothes, "There is no smell in that place..."

Before he finished speaking, the front of him turned into an abyss, trying to suck him away!

He quickly lay down on the ground, grabbing the ground with his hands, as if he would fall off a bottomless cliff if he let go.

"Sorry, sorry, I saw you taking off your clothes and using illusions habitually..."

The sense of gravity returned to normal, Zhou Shi slowly got up and patted the grass on his body.

"It seems like I know something terrible... I'd better pretend not to hear it."

He cleared his throat, trying to relieve the embarrassment, then folded the shirt he had taken off, put it next to his shoes, and walked barefoot towards the well covered by a stone slab.

He removed the stone slab and tried it with a fire folding piece. After confirming that there was not much Yin Qi left in the well, but the Yin Fire could still burn, he took out the Mermaid Tears from the iron abacus, held it in his mouth, pinched his nose and jumped down.

.

"Plop!"

The well water flooded him, and the chill penetrated his skin and penetrated his body. It was bone-chilling.

But the sudden warmth in his chest offset the discomfort, and he felt that his body was slowly adapting to the underwater environment. His eyelids were itchy, and a transparent film had grown to isolate the water; webs had also grown between his fingers and toes, and they were scratching.

Water is more powerful.

There was a stinging pain in his throat, and he tried to breathe, and then he coughed violently as a reflex, almost spitting out his tears. But after getting used to the feeling of water pouring into his lungs, he was able to breathe underwater freely! <

/p>

More than that, he waved his arms and found that he could move freely, almost unaffected by the resistance of the water flow.

This is the function of shark tears.

The weak fire light emitted by Huozhezi is the only light source underwater. Yin fire uses Yin energy as fuel and can burn even under water.

Zhou Shi paddled twice, then changed his posture in the water to head down and feet up, and swam towards the bottom of the well.

"It's strange, this place is obviously stagnant water, but it is very clean."

The range that Huozhezi can illuminate is very limited, and the area one foot away can only be immersed in darkness.

"It's over...no, why is the bottom of the well so bright?"

Zhou Shi hit his legs twice, and his eyes almost popped out of his head after he saw the true face of the "bottom of the well".

Silver!

The yin fire swayed, illuminating the silver ingots piled at the bottom of the well.

Zhou Shi picked up one, weighed it, and confirmed that it was an ingot of fifty taels of silver, and that it had no official seal.

He thrust his whole arm into the pile of silver, but he couldn't even touch the real bottom of the well!

"Oh my God, how many thousands of taels are there..."

This fake well is actually a small treasury!

PS. I’ve finished it, please add it to your collection. I haven’t recommended it yet. It’s only fate that I found this book.
