Except for Yuan Suiyun and his servants, the only passengers on board were Zhao Jueming and Tang Tianzong. The ship was always quiet, and Chu Liuxiang and others boarded the ship late at night despite the wind and rain at sea, which also brought some excitement to this quiet ship.

In addition to Chu Liuxiang, Hu Tiehua and Zhang San, the six-door famous arrester Ying Wanli who came to investigate the case, Bai Lie, a subordinate of General Xiong, and Jin Lingzhi from Wanfu Jinshou Garden also boarded the ship.

Zhao Jueming didn't know much about the latter two, but he had heard about Ying Wanli for a long time.Ying Wanli is a famous arrester of the six sects, known as "Condor Eagle" and "White-clothed God Ear".His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a very good personal relationship with several members of the Shenhou Mansion, and once saw him from a distance in the Shenhou Mansion.

Ying Wanli had also heard about the deep friendship between Zhao Jueming and the Shenhou Mansion, both of them had good intentions for each other, so under Chu Liuxiang's recommendation, they explained to each other the reasons for coming here and the current situation of the outside world.

Now Leng Xue has already joined with Tieshou Zhuiming and others, and the Nanwang rebels stationed in Baiyun City have been brought under control.General Jiang who went to Baiyun City was ordered by the official family to kill the generals and others who took advantage of the Nanwang, and the soldiers under him had to be reorganized into the army after a good education.

Bai Lie, who was traveling with Ying Wanli, was the number one expert under General Xiong outside the pass.General Xiong is loyal and loyal. In the bitter cold outside the customs, he had already exhausted his mind just to resist the invasion of the enemy.However, since the government wanted to fight back against the Jinren, he recruited many talented people, but he never refused, so it was inevitable that Yeguang reported to Yumu.

The head of Hook who stole the secrets and property of the General's Mansion is that wolf-hearted Yumu.

Zhao Jueming was thoughtful after hearing this.

Chief Hook stole confidential property, but colluded with the people of Bat Island. Presumably those secrets would also appear as auction items at the auction.

"I will pay more attention." Zhao Jueming said seriously, "After all, it is a court secret and cannot be auctioned off."

Ying Wanli was confused by his serious attitude, and immediately remembered that Zhao Jueming was not only a cold-blooded friend, but also a friend of His Royal Highness.It is reasonable to share worries and solve problems for friends.

He immediately smiled and nodded, approving the young man's attitude.

Chu Liuxiang and others boarded the ship, bringing not only business affairs, but also happy scenes full of ups and downs.

The complex emotional entanglement between Jin Lingzhi and Hu Tiehua of Wanfu Jinshouyuan, and Bai Lie under the command of General Xiong made Zhao Jueming puzzled for a while.

He has no right to intervene in the emotional life of others, but he cannot avoid the occasional onlookers and ears, and thus have unspeakable doubts about what he sees and hears.

"Why didn't you say something clearly?"

Zhao Jueming was perplexed.

In order to make Hu Tiehua jealous, Jin Lingzhi deliberately smiled at Bai Lie, but when Hu Tiehua didn't respond, she became angry again, turned her face and sneered at Bai Lie; His face was full of melancholy.

Whether Zhao Jueming was in the game or outside the game, he was dumbfounded, so naturally he couldn't understand the idea of ​​fun.

The three people who heard his question reacted differently.

Chu Liuxiang paused, and Zhang San snorted.

Tang Tianzong said deeply: "Probably because I can't explain clearly."

He sighed: "The word love is the most difficult to understand."

Zhao Jueming tilted his head, stretched out his hand and gestured: "Is it difficult to write with a vertical heart?"

Chu Liuxiang: "..."

Zhang San lowered his head and suppressed a smile.

Although Tang Tianzong's ignorance and serious appearance were equally funny, but Zhao Jueming, who responded solemnly but was wrong, was even more funny.

The four people in the room talked and laughed at Yan Yan, and outside the room, on the steps, the young man in a moonlight robe stood silently, listening to the small sounds coming from the room.

As the saying goes: Where there is gain, there is bound to be loss.Yuan Suiyun has lost his eyesight, but has hearing that ordinary people can't match.The rooms are adjacent to each other, and the sound insulation is not strong, so he can hear clearly.

There was silence on the stairs, Yuan Suiyun stood in the shadow for a long time before stepping out of the shadow, leaving those voices behind, and walked towards his room facing the twilight.

The wind was raging and the waves were high, and the big ship was tossing in the sea.Today's weather is as cloudy and cloudy as when Chu Liuxiang and others boarded the boat.

The sailors stabilized the ship on the deck against the heavy rain. However, the waves were surging and the ship tilted slightly. The sailors on the side exclaimed, holding the rope of the ship and being swept into the rain by the wind. Seeing that it was about to fall into the sea and be swallowed by the waves, everyone While the sailor was terrified, a black shadow flashed past, but in the blink of an eye, the sailor who almost fell into the sea just lay down on the ground panting.

The black shadow dragged the rope to the ground, his clothes were drenched in crimson, he looked concerned, and asked, "Are you alright?"

The sailor who survived the catastrophe had tears in his eyes: "Thank you, young man!"

Zhao Jueming helped him to fix the boat rope together, seeing that there was no room for him to use his skills, he waved to several people, twisted the water on his sleeve and left.

The hull barely stabilized in the wind and rain, and soon after touching the reef, there was a loud noise, and it ran aground on the shore.

Everyone gathered on the deck to discuss, but there was no sign of Zhao Jueming for a long time.It was not until Yuan Suiyun made a judgment and planned to cross the reef to the other side to explore, that Zhao Jueming came late.

Tang Tianzong saw his appearance clearly, and couldn't help being stunned: "Zhao Jueming, did you fall into the water?"

Zhao Jueming had wet hair, and the crimson clothes he was wearing before were replaced by black clothes, looking quite embarrassed.

"No." Zhao Jueming didn't mention the matter just now, but asked about the current situation, "Do you want to go to the other side to see?"

Yuan Suiyun nodded slightly, and said: "In this case, I can only go and find out."

Without waiting for anyone to respond, he flew away, his clothes fluttering, and he walked away on the wind, with a burst of energy, he disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Jueming stood still in the wind, staring at the bottomless darkness, and bowed his head silently after a while.

Yuan Suiyun looked gentle and gentle, but his lightness kung fu this time stunned several people, even Chu Liuxiang was amazed.Uehara Suiyun is well-known in Jianghu, but when most people mention him, they will often use the young owner of Wuzheng Villa as a prefix, and the blind man as a supplement, and more or less ignore his strength and talent.

Sad and deplorable in a way.

The wind was buzzing, but Yuan Suiyun hadn't returned for a long time. Everyone stopped talking and looked into the endless darkness.

Why did Suiyun not return?Could it be that they are in danger?

Zhao Jueming glanced at the corner of the ship without showing any signs. There used to be a head there, but it is no longer visible.

Wu Juxuan was nowhere to be seen, and even Ying Wanli was nowhere to be seen.

He tied up his hair that had been dried with internal energy, and was about to suggest that he go out to have a look, but he found someone walking on the rocks from the depths of the darkness.

A group of seven or eight people are all light in body and steady in footsteps, walking on the undulating rocks like walking on the ground.

"Where is Zhao Jueming?" The leader flitted lightly to the mast of the ship, and his voice was clear and clear, reaching everyone's ears, it was a woman.

Zhao Jueming silently raised his hand: "Here."

"The young hero has come from a long way, and we are far away to welcome you." The woman in black cupped her hands and apologized, "Please forgive me, the young hero."

"It's okay." Zhao Jueming took out the invitation card from his arms and handed it over solemnly, "Here is the invitation card."

The woman in black asked, "Is there only one invitation card?"

Tang Tianzong held the invitation card in his arms and wanted to take it out, but Zhao Jueming held his wrist and held it up for him, saying, "There is one more."

The woman in black took the invitation card in Tang Tianzong's hand, opened it for a look, and put the two invitation cards away with an inexplicable expression.To the surprise of few people, she said nothing, and set the rope deep into the reef with her backhand, building a rope bridge.

Not surprisingly, this rope bridge is the only way to get to Bat Island.

Chu Liuxiang wanted to ask the woman in black how to deal with those who didn't get the invitation, but Zhao Jueming sighed solemnly: "It's really dangerous, isn't there an easier way?"

The woman in black was surprised, and said lightly: "The young hero is famous all over the world, so he is afraid of this mere rope bridge?"

Zhao Jueming shook his head and said nothing.

He is very strange.

Sometimes he just expresses his opinion, and someone will say something strange to him that has nothing to do with the above.

Chu Liuxiang smiled like a spring breeze, and asked at the right time: "We don't have an invitation, can we go to the island?"

The woman in black said: "Since there is no invitation, I will not be the guest of Bat Island." She smiled slightly, with a bit of meaning, "You can do whatever you want."

Chu Liuxiang could only smile wryly.

Listening to what she said, there will never be any good things on the island.

Hu Tiehua suggested: "The sky is dark, it's better to wait for dawn before making plans."

So the matter was settled here, Zhao Jueming and Tang Tianzong went to the island with the woman in black, while Chu Liuxiang and others stayed on the boat until dawn when it was time to act.

The rope bridge swayed slightly in the bitter sea breeze. You can’t see the sun from above, but you can see the abyss from below. Even if you can’t keep calm, crossing the bridge will be difficult even if you can’t keep calm.

Fortunately, Zhao Jueming and Tang Tian made it to the other side safely, the woman in black retracted the rope, turned to look at the two of them, and was about to speak when Zhao Jueming sneezed.

"It's really cold—" Zhao Jueming put his hands in his hands and asked, "Do you have hot soup on your island?"

"..." The woman in black is highly professional and ready to answer any questions, "You two are distinguished guests, so naturally we will not neglect you."

Tang Tian looked up at the sky.

Although the sky was dark and there were no stars, but...it was better than seeing Zhao Jueming asking inappropriate questions in a serious manner.

The woman in black turned around and led the two behind a screen-like rock.Behind the rock is a steel cable and a block.

She took away the fire folders and other things carried by the two of them, and politely invited them to board the tackle.

Zhao Jueming and Tang Tianzong looked at each other and stepped into the tackle together.The woman in black saw the two sitting firmly, pulled the switch, smiled and watched the pulley go down far.

The sound was loud, and in the dark silence of the cave, the constant echoes were daunting.

Tang Tianzong couldn't help looking at Zhao Jueming who was beside him. The latter had been silent all the time, and this situation made him even more nervous.

"Zhao..."

"what---"

The name that had only been called with one word was blocked by a plain shout.

Tang Tianzong was so shocked that he couldn't believe it, and his face was bewildered.

Zhao Jueming's shout of "Ah" spread out in the dark cave during the rapid descent, turning into endless echoes like waves.

"Zhao! Jue! Ming!" Tang Tianzong realized something, and his mood was complicated, "Is this a place for you to play around?!"

Zhao Jueming: "The pulleys don't stop. It's too dark and quiet. I'll make this place more lively."

Tang Tianzong: "..."

The other party explained his stupid behavior seriously, which made Tang Tianzong extremely powerless.

"More than that?" Tang Tianzong tentatively said, "And...for fun?"

Zhao Jueming was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and explained to Tang Tianzong's silence: "This kind of experience is rare in my life, and I just suddenly became interested." He paused, and added, "It's very interesting."

"..." Tang Tian tilted his head, "Shut up, I don't want to talk to you."

Although Zhao Jueming's nonsensical behavior made one's mind exhausted, it had to be said that after this little farce, Tang Tianzong felt a lot more relaxed.After all, he has only entered the rivers and lakes not long ago. Even though he is proud, he still cannot avoid being afraid in the face of sinister and unknown things.

But Zhao Jueming seemed to be fearless.

While Tang Tianzong was admiring, he couldn't help but think in his heart—I don't know how terrifying something that can scare Zhao Jueming would be.

Shortly after the two of them made a break, the speed of the tackle slowed down and stopped smoothly.Someone was waiting on the side and invited the two to get off the car.

Zhao Jueming and Tang Tian approached secretly, but a mist suddenly rose, a strange fragrance wafted their nostrils, dizziness and weakness all over.

With two bangs, the two fell to the ground, unconscious.

The black-clothed woman who had been talking to them just now emerged from the darkness, gave some light instructions, and separated the two to carry Zhao Jueming and Tang Tianzong who were unconscious on the ground and left, while the rest followed her back to return.

Mr. Bat has no killing intent, although the way of hospitality is not suitable, but Zhao Jueming wakes up with healthy limbs, except for a little fatigue, everything is fine.

The place where the eyes entered was sticky darkness, and there was the sound of cautious breathing not far from the side.

Zhao Jueming sat up from the bed clutching his head. The bed was soft, and the room was filled with a strange old smell.He ignored the stranger on the side, but called out the system.

The system is a luminous ball of light, the light emitted can only be seen by Zhao Jueming, it is the best free light bulb - he did this kind of thing when he was wandering in the palace before he entered the rivers and lakes. The proficiency is handy.

The warm yellow light illuminated the dark space, and Zhao Jueming looked at the place where the other person was.When he saw the man's appearance clearly, his eyes shivered slightly and he frowned.

The person stuck to the corner of the wall was a woman in green shirt, disheveled, looking in Zhao Jueming's direction nervously.

This scene alone, as well as the various decorations in the house, are enough for Zhao Jue to understand where this place is and who this woman is.

But what made him angry was not only this scene, but also the woman's eyes that were artificially sewn shut.

The black line passed through the eyelids, back and forth, leaving horrible marks.

Perhaps Zhao Jueming's behavior of waking up but not speaking made the woman a little panicked. Under Zhao Jueming's gaze, the latter suppressed her fear, left the corner with a smile, threw herself into Zhao Jueming's arms, and said: "Officer, are you awake? Why don't you speak? But you are not satisfied with the little girl's bed?"

The smell of fat and powder hits the face, which is a little pungent.

Zhao Jueming supported her weakly with one hand, and with the other hand, he helped her pull up the clothes that slid down to her waist, tidying up the clothes for this woman.

"In late autumn and early winter, it's already very cold." Zhao Jueming said gently, stepped back a little, and retracted his hands, not looking frivolous, but not too indifferent.

"Please get dressed."

Just these two short sentences made the woman startled for a moment, and then she couldn't help herself, and tears rolled down.

She has been on this island for a long time, but no one has ever said such a thing to her.

"Officer..."

The woman broke down in tears and wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

"My name is Zhao Jueming."

"Master Zhao..." The woman called out his name in a low voice, and grabbed his sleeve tightly.

Zhao Jueming let her hold it, looked down at her hand, and remained silent.

The system fell silent with him.

Walking in the rivers and lakes, he can always encounter things beyond his imagination. Whenever he thinks that this matter is hateful enough, there will be more things to prove to him that it is not only that.

After the woman settled her mood, she introduced herself.The other party's name is Ye Jing, who works at home. Because the gambler's father owes a debt, he was used to pay off the debt. After going through hardships, he came here.

But Bat Island is not a good place.

Ye Jing is not the only one who is forced to be a prostitute, and there are many other women who have suffered similarly to her.

"They're all next door. This floor is full of prostitutes who can't help themselves and make fun of customers."

"I don't know what the underworld looks like, but this place is thousands of times scarier than the underworld."

Ye Jing wept again and again, but she didn't dare to complain, even though she had regained her composure, there was still a weeping sound in her words.

"Master Zhao is a good man, why did you come here?"

"I received the invitation." Zhao Jueming replied briefly, and asked about the business, "Do you know why I am here?"

Ye Jing hesitated: "Young master sent someone to bring you here, and told me to take good care of you."

Young Master naturally refers to Bat Young Master.

Zhao Jueming was somewhat confused about the reason for Mr. Bat's actions.I have never seen such a strange way of hospitality.

Unable to figure it out, Zhao Jueming silently looked at the furnishings in the house, staring thoughtfully at the copper pipe on the top of the wall.

When he stood up, Miss Ye Jing grabbed his sleeves subconsciously, forcing Zhao Jueming to stop in place.

After staying in this hellish and indifferent place for a long time, when I meet a warm person, I naturally don't want to let go easily.

Ye Jing realized that she was acting abruptly, and her fingers moved slightly, but she didn't withdraw her hand immediately.

"I will come back." Zhao Jueming said gently, "I will definitely come to you after the matter is resolved and take you out."

Miss Ye Jing was slightly taken aback.

She just didn't want the boy to leave and made a subconscious move, she didn't expect him to take her away.

What Zhao Jueming said made her feel mixed.Trapped on an isolated island for a long time, only the prostitutes/clients coming and going and the endless darkness, Ye Jing never thought that someone would make a promise to her.

"Young Master Zhao...you are a good person." Ye Jing slowly let go of her hand, and smiled at Zhao Jueming under the warm yellow light emitted by the system, her words choked with sobs, "You go,... I didn't I want to stop you."

"wait for me."

Zhao Jueming nodded slightly at her, turned and left.

The stone door closed slowly, Zhao Jueming finally took a look at Miss Ye Jing in the room, turned his face away, and walked deep.There was a heart-pounding groan/groan in his ears, Zhao Jueming walked through the long hole, walked not far away, walked out of the stone cave alone, and bowed to him.

"Young Xia Jue Ming, I wonder if you are resting well?"

This man was dressed in brocade, and his tone was very respectful, but his expression was very indifferent, and the contempt almost overflowed his eyes when he raised his eyes.

Zhao Jueming saw it clearly.

He looked at the other party carefully, and felt somewhat familiar.

Not ever seen, but someone had described it to him.

... Ding Feng.

Chu Liuxiang and others once described Ding Feng's appearance to Zhao Jueming.

The system floated in front of the person, but the person didn't check, and even showed an impatient look because Zhao Jueming answered a little late.

"Slept well, refreshed." Zhao Jueming said honestly, and seemed to be inadvertently said, "I often have nightmares on the boat, but I don't have dreams on this Bat Island of yours. Maybe Mr. Bat expected me On Mr. Yuan's boat, I always had nightmares and fainted, so let me sleep well?"

"Young man was joking." The man in brocade clothes smiled and avoided answering, "Since you have rested, do you have any other needs?"

"Can you provide me with hot tea and some food?" Zhao Jueming asked, and immediately commented on their service in a serious manner, "I have already expressed my needs to that girl before entering the island. I have a good night's sleep, and I hope that you will meet my needs first."

"...What you said is true." The man in brocade clothes said yes, but actually gritted his teeth, "Please, young man."

"Where's Tang Tianzong?"

Zhao Jueming walked slowly behind him.

The man in brocade clothes chuckled: "A moment in spring is worth a thousand gold, soft jade is irresistible, and Mr. Tang is immersed in the gentleness. Young Xia Jue Ming, don't you want to disturb Mr. Tang's interest."

Zhao Jueming didn't believe his words at all, but in response to the other party's assumptions, he still replied straightforwardly: "I don't have the hobby of watching other people's privacy, and I won't disturb."

The man in brocade choked, and silently shut up.

The two walked forward silently in the dark, the man in brocade clothes believed that the two sides could not see each other's faces, completely unaware that Zhao Jueming could see him clearly under the light of the system aka light bulb.Zhao Jueming even knew that the other party deliberately didn't warn him on the road with raised stones, and quietly turned his head to look back, hoping that he would stumble.

It's puzzling.

Zhao Jueming didn't know when he had provoked the other party, and was very confused, but he didn't point it out directly; instead, he ignored the other party's careful thoughts throughout the whole process, and followed the other party frankly and safely.

The acupuncture point was long and dark. The man in brocade clothes turned here and there to try to knock Zhao Jueming unconscious, but the latter used this to see clearly where he had passed, and then figured out the structure of the entire cave.

The wind suddenly rang, and the salty smell was brought into the cave by the sea wind from nowhere, and the originally narrow cave suddenly became empty.

The system floated outward, illuminating the surrounding scene.

There is a large round platform in the center of the venue, and passages and caves are carved out of the surrounding stone walls, layer upon layer. At a glance, it is absurd and terrifying, and Zhao Jueming is in it.The floor he was in when he woke up was the penultimate floor.Not only the people's shadows swaying on the first floor, but the people's voices fluctuated, and the rest of the floors had obvious swaying figures.

There seemed to be quite a lot of people coming to this auction.

Zhao Jueming glanced around, looking down silently, but didn't see the person he wanted to see.

Most people walk in the caves in the stone walls, and only a few people walk through the bottom.

The auction has not yet started.

"Is Mr. Yuan on the island?"

Zhao Jueming asked suddenly.

The man in brocade was taken aback for a moment: "Young master Yuan? You mean Yuan Suiyun?"

Zhao Jueming: "Yes. He went to the island to explore, but he never returned, and his whereabouts are unknown."

The man in brocade clothes had a strange tone, with a sarcasm on his face: "Young Master Yuan took you out to sea, but his whereabouts are unknown... Did the young man think of him until now?"

Zhao Jueming: "Young master Yuan is very strong in martial arts, and he is outstanding, so I don't need to worry about it."

In fact, there is no need for him to worry, there is no need to worry.

The man in brocade clothes scoffed at Zhao Jueming's answer, and the contempt in his eyes was even worse.Similarly, he did not answer Zhao Jueming's question.

Zhao Jueming did not continue to ask.

During the silence, the two finally arrived at their destination. The man in brocade clothes led Zhao Jueming into a dark room, and then someone brought hot tea and food and placed them on the table one by one.

The rice is fragrant and full of color and fragrance.

Although he saw it clearly, Zhao Jueming still put forward a pertinent suggestion: "There is room for improvement without lighting the lights when eating."

"...This is Bat Island."

The man in brocade clothes found that Zhao Jueming's attitude was very frivolous, and he repeatedly said contemptuous words, which made him even more disgusted at this moment.

The door was closed with a "bang", and Zhao Jueming was left alone in the room.

He silently picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.

System: [You really eat...]

Zhao Jueming: [People are like iron and rice is steel, so go out after eating. 】

System: ...It actually rhymes.
