Chapter 20: A Strange Encounter in the Salt Fields
In the room, Qi Yun asked the Protector Lin in detail about the trip to the salt field.
This incident is like the strange things in the city, with strangeness everywhere.
Originally, something happened in the salt field, they thought it was just some eye-opening gangs who wanted to mess with them in secret. His elder brother took the Dharma Guardian Lin and more than 20 good players in the gang and killed them angrily.
At that time, they searched through the entire salt field for clues, and they did find some.
A large number of dead cat corpses were dug out on both sides of the salt field, which were shriveled and smelly. I don’t know how long it had been buried. If it weren’t for the accident between Uncle Fu and the others this time, no one would have thought that someone would have been touched in the salt field.
All the cat corpses were piled up together, with hundreds of them. The latest cat corpses seemed to be buried a few days ago, and their bodies seemed to have just been dehydrated.
His elder brother Qi Teng was extremely furious at the time and ordered someone to investigate around him to see who was burying the cat's corpse. After some investigation, he did ask some clues from many salt people along the coast.
Several salt people saw someone coming out of the salt field sneakily when they woke up at night.
At that time, they thought someone was coming to steal salt, but they thought that this was the Qinglong Gang's place. Some salt investors were afraid that the Qinglong Gang would vent their anger and reported it to Uncle Fu and others several times.
Uncle Fu and the others did strengthen their defense, but the sneaky figure at night still came every day. No matter how they defended, they couldn't help it. There was always someone who could see the sneaky figure leaving the salt field.
What's even more strange is that their salt did not decrease at all. Gradually, Uncle Fu and the others also found it strange.
This situation lasted for about ten days, and something happened to Uncle Fu and the others.
The salt man who got up in the morning found the bodies of Uncle Fu and others in a salt pond. It was as if he had been soaked for more than ten days, and it was extremely shriveled and ferocious.
This almost scared a group of people at that time.
Then the gang leader Qi Teng took Lin Guardian and others to come over.
If he said that his elder brother Qi Teng has never been afraid of heaven or earth, he has been digging graves since he was a child and does not believe in any of the sayings of demons. He only believes in the steel knife in his hand.
So in the next few days, his elder brother Qi Teng, Lin Guardian and others were guarding the salt field with murderous intent, wanting to see if the sneaky shadow would continue to appear.
A few days passed and the sneaky shadow didn't see it, but something happened to them.
The brothers who stayed there seemed to be insidious and died every day.
When you wake up early in the morning, you will see a few more bodies in the salt pond.
The more than twenty people they brought out were only seven or eight left in just a few days.
This is not even more terrifying, but what is even more terrifying is that Qi Teng disappeared later.
He could not see anyone in his life or in his death. He searched through all the salt ponds and salt fields, but his body could not be found.
Guardian Lin was anxious at the time and ordered the remaining few people to search for it regardless of everything.
But Qi Teng was not found, and the rest of the people had accidents one after another.
A night ago, Guardian Lin saw a dark shadow leaving their salt field. His eyes turned red at that time, he grabbed his long sword and killed him desperately.
But what's terrible is that all his attacks were useless to this black shadow. He attacked with one move and directly penetrated through the black shadow's body.
He was extremely shocked at the time and finally realized that he had encountered something incredible. He was hit by a few shots on his body and fled back desperately before he escaped. Unfortunately, all the remaining brothers were killed.
So far, except for his elder brother Saito who has disappeared and has no idea of life and death, only Guardian Lin is still alive.
All the others were dead.
Speaking of this, Lin Guardian Lin had a deep sadness and anger on his pale face, and tears flashed in his eyes.
This is a man in his fifties. He was chased by his enemies in his early years and almost died. It was Qi Teng who saved him desperately. It was Qi Teng's personal charm that infected him. He once swore that as long as he was still alive, he would never betray Qi Teng.
But now Qi Teng is missing, and all the people he has followed are dead, but he can't do anything.
Guardian Lin felt extremely sad.
Qi Yun's face suddenly became gloomy.
Sure enough, something happened.
Although he had only traveled for about a month, Qi Teng was really good to him, not to mention that he occupied his younger brother's body, he had to take care of this matter whether it was reasonable or not. No matter what, he had to figure it out whether Saito was dead or alive.
"Master Lin, you can recover from your injuries. Leave this matter to me."
Qi Yun said in a low voice.
"Second Master, you must not do anything randomly. That thing...that thing is not a person at all."
The sorrowful Tao of the Dharma protector Lin.
Qi Yun nodded and said coldly: "I know, don't worry about this."
He comforted him a few words, got up and walked out of the room.
A Er, Li Qing followed immediately.
"Second Master, do you want to set off now?"
A Er asked.
Qi Yun took a deep breath and asked, "How long does it take to get from here to the salt field?"
"Return to the Second Master, if it is fast, it will take three hours, and if it is slow, it will take five hours."
A Er said.
"A Er, stay and take care of the gang. Li Qing called four good men to follow me."
Qi Yun said in a low voice.
Li Qing responded and immediately retreated.
"Second Master, why don't you let me go?"
A Er asked quickly.
"The gang has been in trouble recently. Several masters have been injured. The city is not peaceful now and there is always someone to guard it, so the task you stayed behind is heavier. Do you understand? Remember Feige to give me any things in the past few days."
Qi Yun said.
"this…"
A Er wanted to say something, but he had to nodded: "Yes, Er Master is careful about everything."
"Um."
Qi Yun nodded
Soon after, Li Qing and the other five had already prepared, Qi Yun stepped onto the war horse and ran directly out of the Qinglong Gang.
Li Qing rushed in front and led the way ahead.
They did not have any rest along the way, and after more than three hours, they finally arrived around the salt field.
As the sky was getting late, a group of people ran out of the path. On the right were flat ground as smooth as a mirror, about seven or eight feet a square, and bright luster was shining under the sunlight.
This is Yantian.
In the past, there were salt people they hired to irrigate the sea water. After drying, they scraped off the mud and sandy soil, turned into brine, and then gradually dried into salt particles.
However, since something happened, all the salt people they hired ran away.
There are five salt fields in total, each with about a dozen salt fields, which is a huge fortune.
In this era, salt, currency and tea were all specialized in government agencies, and no ordinary people dared to touch it. Once it was touched, it would be a crime of beheading.
In other words, big forces like their Qinglong Gang dare to intervene in such huge profits, but the amount of money they make up every year is not a small amount.
Qi Yun turned over and dismounted and walked towards the salt field.
Li Qing and five other men, each with steel knives, followed behind him with blood and blood.
You can see traces of destruction everywhere on the vast salt fields, some of which are human footprints, some of which are like things rolling out by some animals, and you can see blood from time to time.
Looking at these bloodstains and footprints, it is not difficult to imagine what happened to the guardian Lin and his team before.
