Gu Xuan returned to the fork in the road and walked into the secret passage on the right without hesitation.

Rather than chasing down the gangsters, he wanted to explore the end of the secret passage.

Not long after entering the secret passage, two groups of firelight met head-on.

Gu Xuanxian reported to the door: "Captain Liu, I am writing to Ximen."

Agent Liu relaxed his vigilance and said, "It turns out he is a scholar."

"How's it going?"

Gu Xuan took a closer look and saw that Agent Liu's clothes had a damp smell.

Captain Liu said slowly: "At the end of the secret passage is a hidden stream. The stream is not frozen and flows outside the mountain. After the robbers escaped from the exit, they mostly followed the stream, leaving no footprints and making it difficult to trace. They then returned the same way.

"

The secret passage could not accommodate two people side by side. Gu Xuan thought about it and walked back: "How do you plan to deal with it?"

Inspector Liu followed behind Gu Xuan and said solemnly: "After returning to the patrol room, a notice was posted offering a reward for the wanted arrests. The lives of more than a dozen girls are at stake. The fugitives must be captured and brought to justice."

"That's right." Gu Xuan changed the subject, "Does Agent Liu still have tracking powder on him?"

Agent Liu's expression changed: "I only brought a bottle of tracing powder, which I used once before."

"Can we exchange?"

In Gu Xuan's eyes, tracing powder is a must-have item for warriors. If he communicates with the police on the way, he intends to exchange it.

Inspector Liu chuckled lightly: "Tracing fans are not uncommon in the patrol room. What do you want to exchange for them?"

Gu Xuan said bluntly: "A bottle of Anran powder, or a bottle of anti-toxic pill."

Inspector Liu was surprised: "I once got half a bottle of Enron Powder, and its effectiveness is amazing. It is said that the Poison Pill can detoxify most martial arts poisons. If you only exchange the tracer powder, the scholar will inevitably suffer a loss."

Gu Xuan stopped and looked back at Captain Liu: "How about this, use An Ran Powder and Poison Elixir in exchange for the Tracer Powder and Arc Knife."

"Sure?"

The arc knife is only a low-grade talisman. With Captain Liu's cultivation in the middle stage of True Strength Realm, he should use a mid-grade talisman.

Agent Liu needs to make corresponding contributions to change his weapons. Counting the arrest of the murderer and assisting Daomiao in the trial, Agent Liu has accumulated enough contributions.

Gu Xuan smiled and said: "As the saying goes, a gentleman's words are hard to follow, so he should make friends."

Captain Liu couldn't hide his joy. No matter what the friendship would be in the future, being able to meet Dao Miao was a high achievement.

Gu Xuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he had a deeper understanding of the status of Dao Miao and monks in the martial arts world.

exchange

After passing the treasure, both of them were very satisfied. The arc knife was in good condition and was just right for Xun Dong to use.

The two of them were walking and chatting, and as soon as they passed the fork in the road, they met Sophie.

Su Fei came alone with a torch in hand and said bluntly: "Captain Liu, can you please go ahead and discuss something important with Master Shu?"

Of course, Agent Liu would not refuse. He walked quickly and gradually moved away, without any intention of eavesdropping.

When Captain Liu walked away, Su Fei glanced at Gu Xuan: "Master Shu, do you think I'm too presumptuous?"

Hearing that Su Fei was a little embarrassed, Gu Xuan smiled and joked: "A man and a woman alone are really presumptuous."

"What Sister Xiang said is true, but you sometimes make mistakes."

Sophie seemed to let go completely, flipping her hair slightly, grinning, and the firelight reflected a bright face.

Gu Xuan stretched out his hand and said: "The gangster has escaped. I have not reached the end of the secret passage. Let's go and have a look."

Sophie nodded: "That's fine."

Gu Xuan turned around and took a step: "I thought Miss Su would enter the bamboo forest and hunt down the three bandit leaders."

Su Fei followed slowly: "There is no need to enter the bamboo forest at all. The poisonous widow died at the hands of Coach Li, but the three bandit leaders were stung to death by a swarm of poisonous bees."

Gu Xuan asked: "Poisonous bee?"

Su Fei slowed down and said, "I don't know very well, but the patrol leader said it was a second-grade high-level insect demon Bi Luo Bee."

Wang Mang spoke up: "Even the second-grade high-level insect demon cannot be controlled by the warriors. It seems that the poisonous widow is not easy. There seem to be other opportunities in the bamboo forest."

Gu Xuan thought to himself, but couldn't figure it out: "No wonder Protector Li took action himself."

Su Fei said eloquently: "According to what the bandits with broken arms said, they were poisoned by bee venom. The pills given by the poisonous widow could only suppress the toxin for half a year. Only by robbing fifteen girls could they get the antidote."

Gu Xuan answered: "Those girls must have died."

Su Fei thought for a while: "The bandit with the broken arm also mentioned that the Poison Widow was slow in moving and might have been seriously injured. After Coach Li flew out of the bamboo forest, he looked gloomy and killed the bandit with the broken arm himself."

The two of them came to the fork in the road, and Gu Xuan introduced: "Captain Liu, hurry up and enter the secret passage, chase to the right, and I will go to the left."

Su Fei stopped and asked, "Where does the secret passage on the left lead to?"

"This road is impassable, and the end is a stone wall." Xu Jin had to keep it secret, and Gu Xuan walked directly into the secret passage on the right.

Su Fei quickly followed and remained silent for a while: "Actually...at first, I had some misunderstandings about you."

"What misunderstanding

?”

Gu Xuan thought of the hunting ground trial, and Su Fei was indeed a little cold. At that time, he thought he was complaining to Wu Gang.

Sophie found it hard to say: "It is rumored that you... are of a dissolute nature."

"There are many rumors and rumors."

Gu Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pretended to be Ximen Shu, which really gave him a lot of blame.

"Later on, I became good friends with Sister Xiang, occasionally talked about a few Taoist seedlings, and with careful attention, I changed my mind." Su Fei's voice returned to her natural tone.

"Careful?"

Gu Xuan immediately grasped the key point.

Su Fei explained: "Wu Gang mentioned in private that he had secretly attached himself to Master Shu in order to summon the spirit pill."

Gu Xuan knew that Wu Gang liked Su Fei, and suddenly said: "I see, Miss Su's conversation with this young master must have something to do with it."

Su Fei did not deny: "I want to make a deal. After the grand ceremony, if Master Shu can provide two soul-summoning pills, I will sincerely join him."

"Cultivation is not easy, not to mention that our spiritual roots and potentials are the same, so we are in the same boat." Gu Xuan sighed lightly, "I will accept this transaction and do my best when the time comes."

Su Fei's eyes flashed: "The little lady thanked Master Shu."

Gu Xuan asked, "Miss Su, you and Wu Gang..."

Su Fei quickly said: "Wu Gang is in love, I have no intention of it, that's all, please Master Shu, don't think too much about it."

Gu Xuan stopped and changed the subject: "Then when will you practice?"

"It's not that fast." Su Fei frowned, "I only have intermediate qualifications. Thanks to Coach Li's Concentration Pill, I can consolidate my cultivation in advance and practice two basic magic skills."

This topic should not be discussed in depth. Gu Xuan was quite talkative, so he turned to Ximen Shu’s trial experience.

That trial was commendable. Su Fei listened with interest and responded from time to time.

Just as Captain Liu said, at the end of the secret passage is a hidden stream, nearly a foot wide and with water above the knees.

Wang Mang didn't find the trap. Gu Xuan decided to go to the exit of Anxi to have a look. Su Fei agreed.

An underground stream flows out of the mountain from the cave. The cave is very short and completely filled with cold water. The two of them had to lie down in the water and crawl forward.

Gu Xuan used the Turtle Breathing Technique, and Su Fei could only hold his breath. Fortunately, Daomiao's breath was long, so he could hold it in for a long time.

The stream was pitch black, with no fish, shrimp, water or grass, and all the limbs touched were biting-cold stones.
