Chapter 74 Someone Chased Us to Silence(1/2)
Qiao Guiqiao urgently needed the antidote in my hand. He had two kinds of poisons on his body, and the poison on the red scorpion tail thorn was not the fire scorpion poison.
Therefore, Ye Fengniang, the man in black and Qiao Guiqiao showed two different symptoms of poisoning.
First, they lose their mobility and language skills, and then they appear dark patches and red dots on the skin.
Toxins enter the human body by inhalation than directly into the ears and brains.
Ye Fengniang fell to the ground and slowly closed her eyes.
Qiao Guiqiao also fell on the table. He closed his eyes and couldn't hold on for a while.
I didn't plan to save him because I was not interested in the treasure mirror. He either really didn't know the whereabouts of the treasure mirror or hid it. As long as he died, the clue would be cut anyway.
If others want to find a needle in a haystack, it depends on who is destined to be with the treasure mirror.
The deceased, Ye Fengniang and Qiao Guiqiao happened to form a triangle relationship. They died together, stealing, chasing, and finding the mirror. The mission of finding the mirror was completed.
I held my breath and avoided the disaster. The little toxin I inhaled was easily cured using my supernatural powers.
The lobby was in a silent atmosphere, and wind blew in from time to time. When the poisonous gas was blown away, I asked the boss lady and the waiter to come down to pack up.
I opened the corridor door leading to the backyard and prepared to go to the kitchen to ask General Manager Zhang and others to come out. Yun Zhou was very obedient and stared at the chef cooking.
The chef complained, and he was begging General Manager Zhang to persuade Yun Zhou not to stare at him like this. With such a sharp gaze, he had already fried two dishes, cut them three times, and added six spoons of salt.
, I can't cook any more.
Mr. Zhang said helplessly: "He only listens to his wife, but others can't tell him."
There was indeed a burnt smell in the kitchen. The chef saw me as if he had met a relative. He ran to the door with his garlic cloves and wanted to shake hands with me.
I took a step back and glanced at his hand. He immediately put the garlic cloves into his apron pocket, but he didn't reach out and instead bowed his hand, asking me to take Yunzhou out of the kitchen.
The boss lady and the waiter came to get the broom and other cleaning tools.
The boss's wife told the chef to cook a few more good dishes. Today everyone has experienced a lot, and she was shocked by the way she treats her guests.
After she finished speaking, she went to the wine cellar to get the wine. The waiter took the big broom to clean the red scorpion on the lobby floor.
This thing is poisonous, and if you want to burn it, you have to wait until the sky clears and take it to a place far away from the inn to burn it.
The boss's wife couldn't wait, so she asked the waiter to find a place on the hillside to dig holes, dig deeper holes, and bury them.
But before that, the waiter transported the bodies in the lobby to the ice cellar for storage.
Then he used a cart to transport the corpse and then the red scorpion, and he put on a straw raincoat and went out.
The boss's wife cleaned the floor of the lobby by herself and washed it repeatedly until she felt at ease.
The rinsed lobby was re-arranged, and the tables and chairs that covered the scars were covered with floral cloth. The previous life-and-death struggle seemed to have never happened.
The guests all went downstairs again, and the chef brought the meal to the table, and each table was filled with a jar of fine wine provided by the boss.
The boss lady picked up the wine glass and said a few words, but it was nothing more than words to comfort everyone.
The guests were also very scared and needed a few drinks to suppress their shock.
They almost died today, which was equivalent to saving their lives. How could they not celebrate?
The meal was eaten until ten o'clock in the evening. The drunken people fell asleep on the bed. Some people could walk back to the room upstairs to rest. Some people had a lot of alcohol. After drinking a few jars of wine, they were still full of energy.
After all the residents had rested, the chef was already exhausted and fell asleep directly against the bowl rack in the kitchen.
Yun Zhou and the other three were the first to go back to their room to rest, and they left without drinking after dinner.
The boss lady showed off her skills tonight and was never drunk without a thousand cups.
She still looked slightly drunk until no one was fighting with her again.
After Yunzhou and the others returned to their room, I came outside the inn. Ye Fengniang failed and Qiao Guiqiao also broke this. Does the employers of both sides know that they were dead?
If the real goal of both employers is the treasure mirror, they will definitely send another group of people.
The heavy rain that has been going on for many days has turned into drizzle tonight, so it doesn’t matter if I don’t hold an umbrella.
The boss's wife asked Xiaoer to clean up the lobby, and she leaned against the door and looked up at me.
I sat on the wooden pillar hanging on the signboard of her inn. In such a place, I had to have good balance and the level of an acrobat.
"Thank you today, Doctor An." The proprietress leaned against the door. She drank and turned her head, from her neck to her face, but her eyes were clear and she didn't feel drunk.
"I can't owe anyone a favor. If the boss wants to thank you, please give me money."
"Okay, I'll give it to you right away. Tomorrow, everyone will go their separate ways." She turned back to the lobby and walked towards her own room.
This is a smart person. He knows that it will be difficult to have a peaceful life to live there, so he plans to leave.
The boss took down three gold ingots, but she didn't say why it was three, but I understand, she, waiter, cook, three people, three lives, three gold ingots.
I took it and put it in. She went back to pack the things, and asked the waiter and the chef to pack their luggage.
The next morning, the sky cleared, the air after the rain was fresh, and the atmosphere of grass and trees surrounded the inn.
The boss's wife announced at breakfast that she would close the store, and those who stayed here were temporarily settled and there were no long-term guests.
As long as the mountain roads are restored to traffic, everyone will leave.
Since we have to be completely separated, we have experienced the danger of life and death together. The atmosphere in the inn is unprecedentedly harmonious, and there is a contradiction between each other, so we can laugh it off.
Two days later, the mountain road will be open. The ones that should go south should go south and the ones that should go north should go north.
The inn guests, the proprietress and her two friends also left home with their luggage.
Although the boss's wife couldn't bear to give up the "real estate" of the inn, she was even more worried about her own life and could not give up.
Shortly after we left, smoke rose up in the direction of the inn, as if it was on fire.
The proprietress and the other three went south. She had relatives by the beach and she was about to go to the marriage.
I looked at the mountain road that had just been restored to traffic and asked General Manager Zhang to carry Yue Nanxiang on his back. We left the main road and walked towards the small path between the mountains.
Manager Zhang asked: "Why do we want to cross the mountains?"
I looked at the direction where the smoke was rising and said, "I'm afraid there will be pursuers."
He no longer asked, and we climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the location of the inn. The inn had collapsed and turned into a pile of ruins.
A team of people wearing black light armor walked quickly towards the winding mountain "Highway".
I saw that they were good at walking, so I asked Mr. Zhang and others to stop and find a place to hide.
They were hiding in the woods, and I lay in the grass beside the cliff.
Below the cliff is the mountain road. Whenever the black armored team walks on the mountain road, they will press the shoulders of the people and see what they look like.
Obviously they are looking for someone, but they just don't know who to look for.
If my premonition is correct, they should be looking for people in the inn.
The four of us left the last time because the boss said that she couldn't take the food in the kitchen, so she could take it if anyone wanted.
Other customers found it troublesome. Manager Zhang considered that there were no snacks on Yunzhou and Yuenanxiang Road, so he had to put these ingredients in the kitchen for processing.
He fryed peanuts, melon seeds, and some dried fruits, and rice and corn became popcorn.
After resting, he took out these snacks and distributed them to Yunzhou and Yuenanxiang.
I lay in the grass and stared at the black-armored people below. They chased forward all the way, and at their speed, as long as the guests in front stopped to rest, they could catch up.
When they walked over, General Manager Zhang whispered to me: "Who is the one? The moon-picking tower?"
I shook my head: "No, it seems to be the guards of some country."
Manager Zhang wondered: "Didn't the boss's wife leave a book to explain everything? The deceased and the murderer are all in the ice cellar. Don't they believe it?"
I looked at the background where they were gone, and looked back at General Zhang and asked:
"Have you heard of the Sifang Treasure Mirror?"
"Of course I heard that it was the treasure of Yaoyuetai. This time Liu Yanyan went down the mountain and stole it and handed it over to the Emperor of Fuyutian Palace." General Manager Zhang replied.
It was not surprising that Qunfang Pavilion was occupied by the Heavenly Palace.
I asked again: "Do you know the function of the Sifang Treasure Mirror?"
"This...is not very clear." General Manager Zhang shook his head: "It is said that it can help people improve their skills."
"There are elixirs in Yaoxian Valley that can help people improve their skills. After taking them for several consecutive years, the effect will be good."
"Do you know what it really is for?"
"It's scary to say it, it's better not to say it."
"Oh, you mentioned it and didn't say it clearly. What? You still have to pay me to listen to what's next?"
"Yes, the content behind is paid, but Manager Zhang is an internal staff member. I can give you a brief explanation. The Sifang Treasure Mirror is not a good helper to practice. It is an evil mirror that can capture people's souls and those who are captured by the souls.
If you can't die, you will just become... like him." I whispered to Yun Zhou.
"Oh? Did Mr. Yun capture his soul by that evil mirror?"
"Your divergent thinking is strong enough. I say it's almost the same. In fact, there is still a difference. Yun Zhou can speak and think simply. The person who is captured with souls cannot be a walking corpse."
"What's the difference between killing him?"
