Volume 2: The Ghost King Marries a Wife Chapter 43: Master of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion
If Jiangcheng became an empty city because of this epidemic, then why did I see the results first?
Time and space were confused in my mind, and my whole body was in a hazy state.
Wang Lexin was still observing the people queuing up. When he saw that I was silent, he turned to look at me. He seemed to realize that something was wrong with me and hurriedly came to help me and asked: "Xinlian, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?"
"
I don’t know how I feel now, but it’s true that I feel very uncomfortable.
"Wang Lexin, do you think time and space really intersect?" I gently pushed his hand away to support me and asked in a low voice.
"Time and space intersect? What do you mean? Did you find any problem?" Wang Lexin saw that I could still walk, so he followed me carefully and asked softly.
"You haven't been able to find me for more than a month after the flood in Jiangcheng. Have you ever wondered where I am?"
I was thinking in my heart, if my body slept in the Dragon Palace for more than a month, and my soul went to the ghost gate and went to the underworld, then the scene in Jiangcheng I saw before going to the ghost gate was either an illusion, or the disease was spreading.
After no control.
Wang Lexin shook his head: "We can't find you, including my master. The master said that if you and Bai Zimo were not here, Jiangcheng would really become an empty city! Because these people seem to
Everything is controlled by something. Now Jiangcheng is an independent world. People from outside can't come in, and people inside can't get out. News about Jiangcheng is blocked. No one outside knows what's happening here!
"
I'm curious as to who is behind this.
In an age where information is so advanced, it is possible to isolate a city. How is that different from covering the sky with one hand?
The first thing I thought of was Mo Jincheng, but now it seems that Mo Jincheng has no time to guard his own ghost gate, so how can he take care of the affairs of this world? The person who caused all this is probably the Master of Zuixian Pavilion.
Standing outside the Zuixiange Restaurant and looking inside, there are all people queuing up to buy medicine. If we want to go in, we may not even have a chance to jump in line.
It seems that if you want to meet the master of Zuixian Pavilion in advance, you can't do it without causing some trouble.
I originally thought that I was full of poison, and the poison could hurt people if it leaked out before, but Wang Lexin had been close to me a few times just now and it was fine. I don't know if I can do anything with the poison on my body now, so I just have to
Pretending to be out of breath, he covered his chest and said, "The medicine in Zuixian Pavilion is poisonous..."
As soon as I said these words, Wang Lexin reacted immediately and nervously supported me and said, "Xinlian, how are you?"
I blinked at him quietly, then continued to pretend to be extremely uncomfortable, and even squeezed out a few tears: "Zui Xian Pavilion sells fake medicine, we were fooled, and all our money was wasted. We want to ask for help."
To put it another way, I am still so young, am I going to be poisoned to death like this?"
Wang Lexin was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He supported me and pushed his way into the crowd. While squeezing back, he said: "Everyone, please give way. She has been poisoned after taking the beauty pill from Zuixian Pavilion!"
Sure enough, our words caught the attention of the people in line, and some people began to whisper: "No way? I heard that the pills in Zuixian Pavilion are very effective, how can they be poisonous?"
"It's the medicine that's three-part poison. I'm afraid she's not in good health and can't bear it. You see, she looks just average. I'm afraid the beauty pill won't be able to save her!"
"Don't say that, I think this little girl's facial features are quite good, but her complexion is a little too bad now. I guess there is something wrong with the elixir. Let's take a look!"
"How can she be the only one with a problem with the elixir? How many people have taken it in Jiangcheng in the past month? Everyone is fine. I think she is the only one with the problem!"
Those people in line discussed for a while, and Wang Lexin and I squeezed in a lot.
Then someone reacted, pointed at us and screamed: "You two are trying to take advantage of the opportunity to jump in line, what pill is poisonous? I think you said that on purpose, just to squeeze in!"
Now that it was over, the people around us suddenly started to quarrel. They surrounded me and Wang Lexin, and everyone’s faces looked aggrieved.
A few people with bad tempers even rushed over and tried to pull Wang Lexin and me out.
Wang Lexin, who was tall and had a rogue look on his face, glared at them: "What do you want to do? Want to fight? Wait until we get rid of this poisonous elixir before fighting!"
"Bah!" one of them spat: "I almost got deceived by you. What pill is poisonous? If you don't detoxify it first, how can you still come here to cause trouble?"
"That's right, I think you're just here to jump in line. So many people in Jiangcheng are excluded according to the rules. Everyone can only buy one pill a day. Are you two doing something special? Do you want to fish in troubled waters?"
I couldn't help but sneer in my heart. These people are really ignorant. They suddenly appear in the market and have to queue up to buy these inexplicable things. They also limit the purchase quantity. It is obvious that there is a problem. Don't they use their brains?
I admit that I am actually not a smart person, and I only realize many things after the fact, but I can feel something is wrong about this matter. It is impossible for so many people in Jiangcheng to be so ignorant.
But their enthusiasm for elixirs has exceeded my imagination.
I even saw some familiar faces in the crowd, they seemed to be people from Jiangcheng Medical College.
I haven't been back to medical school since something happened to Li Yuetong and the others last time. If I hadn't seen them, I would have almost forgotten that I was still a medical student.
If there hadn't been a lot of chaos in Jiangcheng during this time, students like me who were absent from class would have been expelled from the medical school.
Those students also recognized me. I saw them lowering their heads and whispering a few words, and then shouted to the crowd: "She is Yun Xinlian, the one who broke the Jiang family's poisonous curse!"
Everyone was noisy at first, but when they heard this sentence, they suddenly became quiet, and all eyes looked at me.
For a moment, I didn't know what their attitude was towards me.
I can break all the poisonous curses in the Jiang family, so naturally I won't be afraid of the poison of this elixir. Therefore, what I just said about the poison of the elixir must be an excuse.
Then they will definitely think that I want to jump in line.
Sure enough, the crowd was quiet for less than thirty seconds and then immediately became excited.
The originally orderly team suddenly dispersed, and everyone was pushing and shoving, trying to move forward.
"Even Yun Xinlian came here to buy elixirs. It seems that these medicines must be fine. Besides, we have been taking them for a month and no one has seen any problems!"
"Let me tell you, how can the things in Zuixian Pavilion be poisonous? The master of the pavilion has worked hard to develop the elixir for everyone. I heard that new medicines will be released recently, which can cure epidemic diseases. He even found snake gallbladders. He just waits.
It’s R&D!”
"If there is a medicine for the epidemic, I will be the first to buy it. I am willing to wait in line no matter how long it is!"
"What kind of queue are you still waiting for? Look at the people in front of you. They are all crowded together. Now whoever squeezes in will buy first. Let's move forward quickly, otherwise the pills we want will be sold out again!"
It's better now, no one cares about me anymore, but they push forward hard.
Those medical students also crowded next to me. As they moved forward, someone said to me: "Miss Yun, you will become famous soon!"
I squinted my eyes and looked at him. Although this man looked familiar and seemed to be a classmate, I couldn't name him, and his words gave me mixed feelings.
What do you mean I'm about to become famous?
Why should I be famous?
They worked hard to buy this fake elixir. What does it have to do with my fame?
Wang Lexin saw that I was distracted, so he pulled me forward and squeezed forward. He is a Taoist disciple and knows the Three-legged Cat Kung Fu, so it was quite easy to squeeze forward.
We finally squeezed in front of the counter, and the shopkeeper inside didn't even raise his eyelids. He just asked casually: "What kind of elixir do you want?"
Before I could recover, I said casually: "I want them all!"
The shopkeeper's originally lazy expression immediately became energetic, he raised his eyes and said to me with a smile on his face: "This is a big business, please come here!"
I looked at him puzzled: "Where to go?"
"Of course, talk to the Pavilion Master!"
With everyone's envious eyes, I was led inside by the shopkeeper.
Wang Lexin was originally with me, but the shopkeeper said to him: "You don't have to go in. The master only sees the owner who placed the order, and no one else!"
"We are together, she orders everything, but I am the one who pays!" Wang Lexin was very dissatisfied with the shopkeeper's attitude and raised his voice.
"Then she's the only one we see!" The shopkeeper refused to let in, so he had Wang Lexin blocked outside.
I turned back and glanced at him: "It's okay. Just wait for me here. Don't forget the purpose of our coming here!"
We agreed when we came here that after arriving here, we would first find a way to meet the master of Zuixian Pavilion.
I originally thought of making some noise and attracting the attention of the people inside before bringing us in, but I didn't expect that it would be done in this way.
Wang Lexin had no choice but to take out a card and hand it to me: "If he lets you buy elixirs, there is money in this card, you can just swipe it!"
I knew that Wang Lexin's family was rich, but it was too exaggerated to take out a casual card and buy this fake elixir for me. I didn't pick up the card, but just smiled: "No, I want you to buy the fake elixir."
You won’t let me buy elixirs!”
After saying that, I followed the shopkeeper and walked inside.
It's impossible to say that I'm not nervous, after all, I still don't know who I'm going to meet soon.
I followed the shopkeeper pretending to be nothing, but looked around with my eyes.
He took me around several courtyards and finally came to an artificial lake. He pointed to an antique pavilion in the center of the lake and said, "Our pavilion master is waiting for you there!"
Looking in the direction of his finger, a red figure could be vaguely seen through the white curtains hanging from the pavilion.
Since we were far apart, I couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, so I asked the shopkeeper: "Excuse me, is your pavilion master a man or a woman, and what is your name?"
The shopkeeper raised his fat smiling face and waved to me: "You can go see him yourself, I have to go do the things ahead!"
After he finished speaking, he actually picked up his feet and walked away.
I looked at the red figure from a distance and took care of myself as soon as I came.
So he walked towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
The people inside had their backs to me. The moment I stepped into the Huxin Pavilion, I looked at the back figure in front of me and felt extremely familiar.
Wearing a red robe, her long black hair was tied up high, like a ray of morning light, which dazzled people but couldn't help but miss them. Just looking at her back was enough to disturb people's hearts.
