Xu Changqing secretly wrote down these spies from Litian Palace in the identity of the Lord's Mansion of the Rat Nest Cave with paper and pen, folded the paper into a crane, and then sat in a teahouse not far from the Lord's Mansion of the Rat Nest Cave, waiting for the opportunity. .

Although Xu Changqing was sitting alone in the teahouse to drink tea, he was not eye-catching in the surrounding environment, because there were a large number of people sitting alone in this teahouse, and most of them were waiting for work to do work.

Xiehuo City is one of the largest cities in Qingzhou that specializes in black life. Every year, the underground market of Xiehuo City is opened when the Xiehuo City underground market is opened. A large number of practitioners of Xiehuo City are waiting to take on various tasks so as to survive this period of blood spring drying.

The teahouse where Xu Changqing is now sitting is a branch where the underground state of Qingzhou is set up. Assassination missions from various cities in Qingzhou will gather here, waiting for the right people to take over. However, at this moment, the teahouse that should have been very lively is extremely quiet. Everyone is sitting quietly like Xu Changqing, looking as if they are waiting for some news.

The abnormal situation in the Evil Fire Stream also had a great impact on this place. If the blood spring did not dry up and there was no poisonous fog, then the practitioners in the Evil Fire City would definitely choose to stay here to practice instead of running around the various cities in Qingzhou.

For underground forces that operate black life, the abnormal situation in the evil fire stream is definitely not a good thing. Once there is no drying period of blood springs, the number of people coming to them to take black life will become very rare, and what they lose is not only benefits, but more of a reputation that cannot be exchanged for benefits.

Just as the people in the teahouse were thinking about their own affairs with various hearts, time passed little by little, the sky began to darken, and night would soon come. At this time, some people who went to Xiehuojian to check the situation back to the teahouse during the day, and they also brought back the news that the poisonous fog of Xiehuojian had returned to its original state. This information also made the originally quiet teahouse become lively soon. Some people who had already made the decision began to talk to the people in the teahouse responsible for contacting the task and discuss the details and amount of the task.

Sitting quietly beside the teahouse, Xu Changqing, who was by the window, did not join the conversation between these people, but just listened quietly to their conversation, while focusing on the street outside the teahouse. This street is the main road of Xiehuo City and the only avenue leading to the residence of the Lord of the Rat Nest Cave. If the Lord of the Rat Nest Cave wants to return to his home, he must pass through this avenue.

Not long after, Xu Changqing saw a group of people holding a volley flag walking from the window next to the table, and the people in front of the road were careful to avoid it, fearing that they would approach the team.

"Come!" Seeing such a clear flag, Xu Changqing's heart was filled with a talisman on the paper crane on the table with his fingers in a quiet manner, and then threw the paper crane out casually and let the paper crane fall to the ground. If someone's eyes were placed on the paper crane, he would find that the paper crane suddenly disappeared at the moment when it fell on the ground, as if he had escaped into the ground. However, if he was carefully perceived with his divine consciousness, he could sense a faint breath of magic power where the paper crane fell.

Soon the team came to the teahouse. Although the team looked loose when walking, Xu Changqing could feel that this loose guard formation was actually a battle formation that had not been triggered before. Once something suddenly happened, everyone could form a battle formation as soon as possible. These ordinary cultivators can also reach the level of elite warriors in a short period of time.

The person who protected the team in these guards was a thin, ordinary middle-aged man. This person was very ordinary, and his clothes and mounts were all the same as those around him. This made it difficult for the bystanders around to distinguish him from other guards around him.

The reason why Xu Changqing was able to easily identify the master of the rat nest cave was not only analyzed from the formation of the guard battle formation, but more because of the magic power hidden on the man. Although the magic power of this man felt like the others around him was a great way of Taoism with evil fire as the main body, the magic power of this evil fire was mixed with the magic power of the legalists, one of the hundreds of Chinese schools in the world.

The Legalist Methods cannot be said to have been lost in the secular world, but they have not been preserved too much. Because of the annexation by Confucianism, the Legalist Methods in later generations have some of the aura of Confucian Methods. However, the magic power on the Lord of the Rat Nest Cave is now completely pure. From the perspective of its magic power, it is not the most common way of magic power and magic in the Chinese Legalists, but the path of following the name and responsibilities. Therefore, it is not difficult to see from his behavior that this person is more pragmatic and does not care about any false name.

After seeing the owner of the Rat Nest Cave, Xu Changqing couldn't help but feel confused and said to himself: "Is he going to revive the various schools of thought in this world?"

No wonder Xu Changqing had such doubts. After all, he met a pure Mohist practitioner in Yongzhou, and now he met a pure legal practitioner in Qingzhou. Both of them were subordinates absorbed by Xu Congjie here, which forced Xu Changqing to have thoughts about Xu Congjie's plans.

At this time, the owner of the Rat Nest Cave had already arrived on the street not far from Xu Changqing's window. He was expressionless and frowned slightly as if he suddenly felt something abnormal. He lowered his head and looked at the hand holding the reins. A little doubt appeared in his eyes. Then he made a secret action of grabbing things with his right hand, and then looked around casually. After not finding any abnormality, he continued to move forward with the team with a hint of doubt.

After seeing the paper crane falling into the hands of the owner of the Rat Nest Cave, Xu Changqing did not stay here anymore. He was about to get up and leave the teahouse, but a man came to the table where Xu Changqing was sitting down, put his left hand on the corner of the table, and knocked his fingers on the table several times in a certain order.

The stranger's sudden behavior made Xu Changqing stunned, but soon he realized what was going on. He showed an inexplicable smile on his face, and his actions of getting up and leaving stopped. He said to the man with a plain face: "What's your life?"

The stranger didn't say anything, just raised his hand and drew a pattern on the table, and then made several gestures with his left and right hands.

Most people will feel confused when they see this person's actions, but in Xu Changqing's eyes, these gestures and patterns are as clear as if they are talking to each other in person.

The reason why Xu Changqing was able to understand these gestures and symbols was that although most of his attention was placed on the streets outside the teahouse, some of them were placed on the people inside the teahouse. The symbols drawn by this stranger and the gestures made by him were a code word that the people who were hiding here need to master. Just like the symbols drawn by the stranger just now, it showed that he had a ground-level task in his hand, and the reward after completion was ten evil fire crystals.

For those practitioners who use evil fire as their original magic power, the evil fire crystal produced by the evil fire stream is definitely a treasure of the level of heaven and earth treasures. One single piece is enough to greatly improve their cultivation. The rewards for the ten evil fire crystals are of great value.

The stranger who suddenly came into contact with Xu Changqing was a black broker of the underground forces behind the teahouse, and the level of tasks he was responsible for was not low. Before, he had walked around the teahouse from time to time to find the candidates who were suitable for his mission, and then negotiated matters with the selected candidates alone, rather than waiting for other people to contact like the shopkeeper of the tavern.

Perhaps it was because Xu Changqing was so realistic that the broker regarded him as the kind of person who was capable of doing special black work and was ready to take him into a task in his hands.

This emergencies surprised Xu Changqing and also felt interesting. In addition, he had to wait for a while before the owner of the Rat Nest Cave could react, so he decided to disguise himself and see what kind of black life mission it was and pass the time.

After Xu Changqing learned about the brief situation of this black life, he pretended to be contemplative and thought for a while before pretending to be an experienced person, he asked in a deep voice: "How many people?"

For most practitioners in the Evil Fire City, the Earth-level mission is already a very difficult task in black life, and it is impossible for one person to complete it, so there must be other participants.

The black broker did not doubt that he had made a gesture to respond, which indicated that at least seven people had joined the task.

"Subordinate?" Xu Changqing asked simply again.

"No subordinates, everyone does their own things." The black broker said for the first time.

Xu Changqing continued to ask: "How to distribute the reward?"

The more Xu Changqing asked in detail, the more he seemed to be a veteran, and the more he felt that he had not found the wrong person, without any impatience, and continued to explain: "The old rules, whoever gets the thing will get the reward."

Xu Changqing deliberately made a decision and finally nodded and said, "I'll take it!"

After receiving the affirmative answer, the black broker did not say anything more, nor did he mention more detailed content about the task. He simply drew another symbol on the table and turned around and left.

This symbol is very simple, and Xu Changqing easily wrote it down. Although he didn't understand the meaning of the symbol, he did not intend to ask people, nor did he think about using other methods to understand the meaning of the symbol. He just put his divine thoughts on this black broker and waited for him to find the next person who was suitable for this task.

Soon the black life broker found a new goal and came forward to contact him. The process was similar to Xu Changqing's experience just now. In the end, the man could not withstand the temptation of ten evil fire crystals and agreed to take on this life. The black life broker also drew a symbol when he left, but this symbol was different from the symbol drawn for Xu Changqing. However, the man who took on the black life seemed to understand the symbol, nodded, and stood up and walked out of the tavern.
Chapter completed!
