"Who are you?"

The words also have the effect of the "mantra to save people", they are vast and majestic, just like the voice of the Buddha coming from the sky.

Hearing the majestic and upright voice, Mu Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that although there was a dark and evil "devil" hidden in Shen Lang's heart, there was also an upright and bright "god".

As long as the "god" can always suppress the "demon", Shen Lang will not fall into the devil's path.

The wild monk trembled slightly and kowtowed respectfully to Shen Lang:

"Duan Hong, a practicing monk in the mountains, met with the Zen master."

"Duan Hong?"

Shen Lang nodded slightly and continued to ask in that majestic and majestic tone, which sounded like the voice of the Buddha from outside the world:

"What are you doing here?"

"According to the order of the Lord, I am here to guard the mine veins and collect black gold sand."

Having said this, a trace of regret appeared on Duan Hong's face:

"Slave workers in the mines are all deceived, forcibly kidnapped refugees, beggars and even good family members. The villains know clearly that the slave workers have no clothes on their bodies, no food on their bellies, and work all day long, yet they still get offended and are whipped and abused.

He was even tortured to death...but remained indifferent, and even acted as an aide to the tiger...The villain spent his childhood reading the books of sages in vain, and his crime deserves ten thousand deaths. His crime deserves ten thousand death!"

As he spoke, his voice was choked with tears, and his face was filled with tears. He also hit the floor with his forehead repeatedly, making the floor make a loud noise.

Shen Lang was worried that he would knock him awake and get rid of the effect of the spell, so he quickly asked again in that loud voice:

"Your boss, is that Mr. Hu?"

Listening to Shen Lang's questions, Duan Hong stopped the impact, raised his already red, swollen and bruised forehead, and choked with sobs:

"No. Although Hu Yuanwai is the owner of the mine, my lord has someone else. After Hu Yuanwai contracted the mine, he discovered that there was actually a gold vein under the shallow copper mine, so he hid the news and mined it privately, but he was worried about being exposed.

, so I found a way to get on my lord's line, and offered black gold sand and people to my lord in exchange for my lord's protection..."

Hearing this, Shen Lang's eyes narrowed:

"Sacrifice the population?"

Duan Hong nodded:

“Refugees and beggars, dilapidated small households, lone foreigners, unruly mining slaves who refuse to obey discipline, bandits roaming the mountains and forests, and even local decent people who have offended the Hu family but have no foundation... There is no distinction between good and bad, good or bad.

Bad, as long as you are strong and healthy, you can send them to my master. At least ten people will be sent to you every month..."

Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue looked at each other and knew that they had caught the real owner and caught a big fish.

But Shen Lang was not in a hurry to ask about the identity of the "Lord".

Because this kind of question is a core secret and even a "taboo" in people's hearts.

If this "taboo" is triggered without completely breaking down his defenses, the spell may be ineffective on the spot and the other party may wake up.

If you continue to forcefully cast the spell, the other party will become defensive and the effect will only be worse than the first time.

And now, the way Hong calls the people behind the scenes is still the honorific title of "Lord". Obviously, his defense has not completely collapsed, and he still has awe in his heart for his "Lord".

At that moment, Shen Lang did not ask about the identity of the "Lord", but only asked in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, what can you do with such a large population?"

Duan Hong cried:

"I don't know either. I am originally from the capital city and my family is not well off. However, my parents died early and my family gradually declined.

"I want to study for scientific examinations and revive my family business, but I don't have the talent to study. I also want to practice martial arts and earn a future through martial arts, but I can't bear the hardship of practicing martial arts. I also want to practice Taoism, but my talent is limited and I can't pass the exam.

Metropolitan Temple.

"In the end, I could only spend all my wealth and favors, find a way to the Lord, beg the Lord for a Gu, and manage to get some surgical techniques...

"There are people like me, the Lord has many subordinates, and they can only help him with running errands and doing chores. Like me, I can only guard the mines in the deep mountains and old forests... The Lord's real secrets are not mine and others.

What can be known...

"But I know that those who contribute to the Lord will definitely end up miserable. Because the Lord... He is good at raising Gu insects! Why does he have so many people doing it every month? It must be the essence and blood of living people.

God, I fed the worm!"

At this point, he began to hit the floor again and again, and kept muttering, "I am not a human being, I am a collaborator, and I have no conscience..."

He is good at raising voodoo insects and feeding them with people...

Then feeding monsters with humans is also a routine operation!

Shen Lang knew that all the clues had been connected. Duan Hong's "master" was most likely the owner of the four-armed demon owl!

He looked at Mu Qingxue and saw that Duan Hong was banging his head and confessing again. Shen Lang quickly recited a few words "The sea of ​​suffering is boundless and there is a shore" to deepen the brainwashing to prevent Duan Hong from really knocking him awake. Then he asked again:

"Cheng Xin and Guan Yue of the Wind Chasing Faction were also given to your family master?"

Duan Hong murmured:

"Yes, Cheng Xin and Guan Yue from the Wind Chasing Faction have been working in the mine for three months. Before that, they had been working on the periphery and had never been in the mine. They didn't know how miserable the mine slaves were. They thought that the mine slaves just didn't have enough to eat.

, not dressed warmly, often beaten...

"On the second day of junior high school, they came to work in the mine. Out of curiosity, they went down into the mine. They were wandering around and accidentally saw the sinkhole with hundreds of corpses... The young man was still conscience-stricken and didn't know what the world was up to. He actually came out to question him and threatened to report him to the official. Why?

He refused to listen to the persuasion and resorted to martial arts to take action...

"Their martial arts are indeed good, with fast movements and fierce kicks. They are worthy of being disciples of the Wind Chasing Sect who have received the true inheritance. Sixth grade versus sixth grade, two versus four, they can still have the upper hand. It's a pity...

"It's a pity that I was so obsessed at that time that I actually attacked them, restrained them with magic, weakened them, made them invincible and captured them, and then handed them over to the disciples sent by the Lord to rescue them..."

At this point, Duan Hong burst into tears again, banging the floor loudly and banging his forehead so hard that blood flowed:

"I'm not a human being, I'm a beast! Two young men with strong consciences and chivalrous spirit were harmed by me like this. I'm not a human being..."

It's really not human.

Shen Lang looked at Duan Hong expressionlessly, knowing that his confession was not from his heart at all, but was just the effect of the "Transfer Curse".

When the spell failed, he turned back into the villain who was greedy for profit and worked for others.

Not bothering to stop Duan Hong from harming himself, Shen Lang said calmly:

"Is Shen Wu, the chief disciple of the Wind Chasing Sect, having an affair with you?"

Duan Hong shook his head:

"Although Hu Yuanwai has hooked up with the master, he still feels that the force he controls is not strong enough. The Wind Chasing Faction is the largest sect in Wuyang Mansion. The selection criteria are strict and there are many masters in the sect, so Hu Yuanwai has been trying to get involved.

Chasing the wind.

"The year before last, he learned that Shen Wu, the leader of the Wind-Chasing Sect, was traveling down the mountain and found out his whereabouts. Hu Yuanwai deliberately arranged a drama about a hero saving a beauty. He wanted to marry his daughter to Shen Wu and control Shen Wu through his daughter.

, and then slowly penetrated and took control of the Wind Chasing Faction, but unfortunately Shen Wu is a wooden person..."

Shen Lang was startled and said curiously:

"The incident of Shen Wu rescuing Hu Yuanwai's daughter from a flower picker the year before last was actually arranged by Hu Yuanwai?"

Duan Hong murmured:

"Hu Yuanwai has so many masters guarding even the mines. How could his daughter not be surrounded by masters when she travels? How can a mere flower-picking thief who was defeated by Shen Wu in three moves have the ability to get involved with Hu Yuanwai's daughter?"

Shen Lang shook his head and sighed:

"Hu Yuanwai is very ambitious. He actually wants to take a long-term view and control the Wind Chasing Faction through Shen Wu... Fortunately, Shen Wu is a fool, otherwise wouldn't he be able to succeed?"

After a pause, I finally asked the core question:

"Who is your master?"

At this point in the interrogation, all the clues have been matched.

Duan Hong's boss was the real culprit who used humans to feed demons. Although Hu Yuanwai was not that man's direct subordinate, he was protected by him and was his accomplice.

Although Duan Hong was still calling "Lord" habitually, there was no awe in his tone, and instead sounded a bit like gnashing of teeth and hatred. Shen Lang felt that the time had come to ask.

In addition, Shen Lang really didn't expect that Cheng Xin and Guan Yue actually agreed with his reasoning. After seeing things that exceeded their bottom line with their own eyes, their consciences discovered it, which resulted in bad luck.

This made Shen Lang feel both relieved and a little regretful. What was gratifying was, of course, not that his reasoning was accurate, but that Cheng Xin and Guan Yue's conscience was still intact and they did not make the same mistake after all. Unfortunately, it was the two of them who were killed.

.

It can only be said that Cheng Xin and Guan Yue have just started training, so their experience is too little. They are also too confident in their own martial arts.

If it were Shen Lang, after discovering the tiankeng, he would just pretend that he didn't see it and would never make any announcement. He would only quietly collect evidence and then wait for an opportunity to escape. He would not go to Tongshan County to report to the official in the future - Tongshan

The county government is no longer trustworthy.

If he were more cautious, he could not even trust the elder brother Shen Wu who introduced him to work in the mine. Therefore, he could not go back to the mountain gate to report to Master Zhou. He could only sneak to the capital as quickly as possible and report directly to Shen Captang.

Eucalyptus.

Unfortunately, Cheng Xin and Guan Yue were not as cautious as Shen Lang, and they innocently lost their lives.

When Shen Lang sighed secretly, he heard Duan Hong say:

"My master...is the master of the 'Yujing Temple', Master Guo Kaiguo."

Guo Kai?

Real person Guo?

Shen Lang glanced at Mu Qingxue in surprise and said:

"Is there still another Guo Zhenren in the world?"

Mu Qingxue said:
To be continued...
