The Demon Concubine of God

As the Saint of the Fairyland, Qingque's cultivation was very high. So she was also good at passing messages through a medium. The reason why she knew Shen Wen was captured so quickly was because she had released a magical butterfly outside the thatched cottage. As long as those people were bad for Qingque, the butterfly would pass on the message.

Shen Wen found out from Dr. Sun that there was an organization that carried the advanced crossbows she had seen. But the old man did not directly tell Shen Wen the name of the organization. He only told Shen Wen that the old blacksmith was related to his organization. The blacksmith was called Lame Old Ghost, and he was now requisitioned in the military camp of the Gorge Mountain garrison.

Shen Wen left the thatched cottage without delay and headed for the Gorge Mountain. But just after leaving the thatched cottage, two groups of people came to rob her, not to kill her but to rob her. The two groups of people bumped into each other at the same time and started fighting. The little fox Tong Xianyu who followed Shen Wen was a playful person. When he heard that they were going out, he happily flew to the front to explore the way and missed the two families robbing people.

Shen Wen was in a tough situation. She was already half dead, and her previous life skills were useless. All she could do was dodge in the chaos. Occasionally, she was dragged by one person for a while, and then dragged by another. In the end, she had a good friend who picked her up, flying and jumping, and carried her for a long distance. Who knew that the friend was unlucky? When he carried her away from the group of people, he was stabbed in the back by the third group of people.

Shen Wen was not comfortable being carried. Her stomach had been churning for a long time. When she was put down, she leaned against a tree and vomited violently. The third group of people came to drag her away. She waved her hands and said, "No, big brother, can you let me finish vomiting? Let's make it clear that you can't carry me now! This is too uncomfortable..."

Before she could finish her words, a ruthless man chopped her neck with a knife and told her to go see Zhou Gong.

When Qingque took the officers to look for the people, they had already called back, leaving only a mess.

Qingque still used the spirit butterfly to pass the message to her, and then took people to chase after her again.

Shen Wen was awakened by a gentle voice while sleeping. Shen Wen opened his eyes, looked at the face that was close in front of him and said, "It's you, little yamen runner, I don't even know your name?"

He said, "My name is Zichu."

Shen Wen said: "Then Zichu, why are you here?"

Zichu said: "I saw you being taken away by a group of men in black, so I followed them. Later, another group of people came and they started fighting. I took advantage of the time when they had no time to pay attention to you and secretly carried you away."

Shen Wen nodded.

Zichu took off the water bag from his waist and said, "You feel uncomfortable, drink some water first."

Shen Wen was thirsty, so she took the water bag with great gratitude.

Shen Wen felt better, so he asked Zichu about the appearance and weapons of the group of people who joined later. Zichu recalled for a moment and said, "They are a bit like bandits, but they are more organized than bandits. They are all wearing eye masks, short coats and waistcoats. The waistcoats are made of a very strange material, not cloth nor animal fur. The gloves on their hands are also made of the same material, with five fingers exposed. The weapons they use are even more magical. The daggers can cut iron like mud and the cold light is dazzling. The crossbows can be fired several times in a row, and the penetration power is stronger than the high-level ones of the court."

Shen Wen nodded and said, "Is your position high? Have you never heard of these people?"

Zichu hesitated for a moment and said, "I told you, can you come with me? I want to take you in as my follower and help me solve cases."

Shen Wen said: "Are you crazy? Don't you see that many people are fighting for me? What if they are people that you, a small official, cannot afford to offend? Do you think that even if I become your little follower, you can protect me?"

Zichu said calmly: "Let's give it a try. I think they are still restrained in front of the court."

Shen Wen said: "I don't think so. I think each of these people has a background. They might be private soldiers raised by a prince. Judging from the material of their clothes and weapons, they are not something that a martial arts sect can afford."

Zichu was very happy to hear her words, he was not wrong about her.

Zichu asked, "Do I know who the last group of people are?"

Shen Wen asked quickly: "Oh? Who is it?"

Zichu smiled and said, "You are so interested, do you want to go to their nest and take a look?"

Shen Wen snapped his fingers and said, "That's exactly what I meant. Don't you want to know how their weapons are made? Maybe we can get the answer if we go there. You know, it's a great achievement to get such a high-level weapon for the court."

Zichu said: "Is that the reason? Then you obtained the smelting technology of this weapon for the court just to make a great contribution?"

Shen Wen said: "That's right, after all, I really need it."

That's right, as a criminal who served as a government prostitute, she could be pardoned based on this merit.

Zichu said, "I advise you not to have this idea anymore. They are not ordinary underworld organizations. Their strength is mysterious and unpredictable. It is not something that a weak woman like you can provoke. You are just daydreaming."

Shen Wen smiled and said, "Well... you can call me a fantasy, but I'm actually very curious about why they took me back. Don't you want to know? I ask you, what would you do if there were four inexplicable forces entangled with you? Do you want to find out? But I have to find a party that I am willing to explore to find the answer. So..."

Shen Wen looked at Zichu foolishly with expectation.

Zichu found her funny look very interesting. He coughed and said, "Well, since we have experienced a thrilling night of investigating a case in Yizhuang together, I decided to go with you to find out what happened."

ha?!??

Shen Wen's expression became even more stupid.

Zichu turned around and walked in the direction behind him, saying, "Come on, I know the place, I'll take you there."

Shen Wen hurriedly followed him and walked side by side with him. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I remembered something else. I can't go with you. I have to go to the Xiafengshan military camp."

Zichu asked hurriedly: "What are you going there for?"

Shen Wen said, "Looking for the blacksmith, Lame Old Ghost. I want him to make a few handy tools and a weapon for my personal use."

Zichu nodded and said, "If you don't have any skills, you need to get some weapons. It just so happens that the organization we are looking for and the lame old ghost you are looking for are not far away. In this case, let's go to the Xiafengshan military camp first."

This guy was okay, what he said was right, he didn't fool her. So that was it, having a companion was much better than a weak woman like her going on the journey alone.

In fact, Zichu was a very smart man. He specifically chose paths that ordinary people would not think of. Both of them had anti-reconnaissance capabilities and kept changing their routes while following the trails of those people. As long as the other party was not at the level of Lingque, it would be difficult for them to be found.

After walking for three days, they arrived at the foot of the Gorge Mountain.

After all, Zichu was an official on official business, so it was not difficult for him to take people to the military camp. He just had to reveal his identity to them.

Although the lame old man had a bad temper, he was a pariah and anyone with an official position could see him.

This was said by the guard who led them. The guard told them that when they went to the lame old ghost's place, they must not run around or touch anything, and also to be patient and wait, because if he had something on hand, he might not show up.

Later, just as the guard said, Shen Wen and his friends waited outside Lame Old Ghost's door for a long time, but no one showed up.

Zichu turned around twice in annoyance, intending to turn around and complain to Shen Wen, but Shen Wen was no longer around.

Shen Wen rode on the wall and turned back to wave to Zichu.

Zichu was not a man who stuck to the old ways. He understood and climbed up the wall swiftly.

Shen Wen and Zichu quietly entered the house and looked at the environment of the lame old man's haunted house with disgust and contempt. The inside was in a mess, almost like a flea market, the kind of flea market that no one cared about and was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Although Zichu, a nobleman, didn't know what a flea market was, he hated it even more. He couldn't stand the smell of the air around him and kept covering his nose with his fingers.

Zichu said, "There is no sign that the dust here has been moved. I think the lame old ghost probably doesn't live in the main hall. Let's go to the left and right wing rooms to check. Call me if you find him."

Shen Wen looked at the things on the ground without turning back to answer. He just waved his hand to indicate that he understood.

Shen Wen checked the scattered items and felt like she had found a treasure. There were glass bottles, thin copper wires, iron pipes, iron plates, and bearings. These were just some of the odds and ends she had picked out. There was no telling how many more surprises were hidden under the dust in every corner.

Hesitantly considering hygiene, Shen Wen's excited little hands did not move. She patiently touched the clothes with her little hands and carefully observed other suspicious places.

Eh? There is something so weird!!!
