Tongfu held the heavy silver ingot and scratched the back of his head: "What kind of clothes should I buy?"
Minglan: "White."
Innkeeper: "Cheap."
"Okay." There is no contradiction between these two requirements. Tongfu put the money away and went out.
The innkeeper was a little embarrassed, but Minglan nodded to him gently and politely: "Can I take a rest?"
"Yes, of course." The innkeeper left the room and closed the door behind him.
Ming Lan sat in front of the window, raised her hand to push open the sash, and the faint morning light poured into the room. As expected, "Bai Yi is a scholar". If it weren't for good luck, I might have died in the hands of that group of people.
After wandering outside for most of the night, Ming Ruo and Si Haochen went into the space to catch up on their sleep, and felt in good spirits after waking up.
After breakfast, Aqiu began to load the luggage onto the carriage. They had to hurry up and rush to Qingniu Mountain.
On the first day of junior high school, he handed over the secret letter he had just received and was about to leave when Mingruo suddenly stopped him: "How did you deal with those poisonous people last night?"
"There was a stone prison under the well in the courtyard. It looked quite strong, so my subordinates locked five poisonous people in it and sent people to guard it." When Chu first saw that the Queen was not displeased, he continued.
, "Let's go to Qingniu Mountain. If they can kill the wizard who cast a spell on them, they will have a chance to recover. If they can't find the wizard, they will have to fend for themselves."
"Very good." Mingruo nodded, that's what she planned.
"Master, it's time to set off." Aqiu had already packed his luggage and the dry food for the journey.
"Let's go." Si Haochen led Mingruo out of the room.
Chu Yi followed him downstairs, and everyone got on the carriage. Chu Yi picked up the whip and was about to drive the carriage.
The shopkeeper chased him out of the inn, holding a young man in white clothes: "Master, there is someone here!"
Ming Lan, who had changed into white clothes, looked completely different from before, and Ming Ruo didn't recognize her at all. Si Haochen did see some clues, but he was too lazy to say anything.
Chu Yi was also surprised by the boy's 'transformation'. Seeing that the Queen was confused, he quickly said: "This is the boy who was rescued from that yard last night."
"Huh?" Mingruo was completely unable to connect the handsome young man in front of him, who looked like the son of a noble family, with the miserable person last night.
Mingruo waved to the young man: "Come here."
Ming Lan took a few steps forward and gave a deep salute: "Thank you, Madam, for the rescue. I wonder what you two want? I can do it without any hesitation."
"Ha." Si Haochen sneered, "My ability is not great, but my tone is not small."
Minglan was stunned for a moment before she realized that this was not Zhongzhou. The reason why people were willing to rescue her was not because she was the young master of Xuanji Pavilion: "I'm sorry, I was just being rude."
Mingruo called Minglan over just to confirm whether he was infected with corpse poison. After diagnosing his lower pulse, there was nothing wrong.
"You painted the talismans sold by those two fake Taoist priests?" Mingruo frowned slightly.
"Yes." Minglan lowered her head, "I tried to make the painting as messy as possible, but there are still many people buying it."
"You can leave." Mingruo lowered the car curtain.
Although he couldn't divination without the divination stone, these two people gave him a particularly special feeling. Based on his intuition, Minglan felt that by following them, he might be able to find the person his grandfather asked him to find.
"Are you looking for the origin of the 'Poison Man'? I know where they refine corpse Gu." Ming Lan began to promote herself.
Minglan acted too aggressively and seemed a little suspicious. Si Haochen didn't pay much attention to it. In the face of absolute strength, any tricks were useless.
"Take him with you." Si Haochen was a little curious as to what the purpose of this young man was.
As soon as Minglan was about to get in the car, Xunyi took him by the back collar and lifted him to the carriage he was driving. Minglan didn't say anything, opened the door curtain and was about to enter the carriage, but was stopped by a door bolt.
"Just stay outside." Although this young man had a harmless face, Aqiu was still wary of him.
There is still dry food in the carriage. What if he has evil intentions and poisons himself without warning?
When the innkeeper saw the familiar door bolt, his eyes and eyebrows twitched. When did Miss Aqiu remove the door bolt in the store?
Seeing the shopkeeper's expression, Ah Qiu explained with some embarrassment: "I'm very good at using this door bolt. You still have a lot of them anyway, so lend me this bolt for self-defense."
"Miss Ah Qiu, just take it and I'll give you this door bolt." In all his years, the innkeeper has given a door bolt as a gift for the first time.
"Thank you very much." Ah Qiu hugged the innkeeper proudly.
"Girl, you're welcome." The innkeeper watched the group go away before returning to the inn.
The waiter scratched the back of his head and said, "Big shopkeeper, let me go to the woodshed and choose a solid piece of wood and cut it into a door bolt, right?"
"Go quickly, or the back door will be missing a latch at night." The innkeeper waved his hand.
"Didn't Mr. Junior High School say that since the evil spirits have been suppressed, there is no need to close so many door bolts?" Another clerk was a little puzzled.
"What do you know? Be careful of the Wannian Ship!" The shopkeeper put his hands behind his back and went to check the herbs that his wife left yesterday.
Ming Ruo and his party, after a day's journey, finally arrived at the foot of Qingniu Mountain before dark. This place should have been a village originally, with many houses left. However, these houses either had doors missing or no windows.
, as well as the courtyard wall and half of the roof collapsed, looking very dilapidated.
The whole village was quiet, there was no sound of crowing of cocks or dogs, let alone the sight of anyone. From the moment he entered the village, Mingruo felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere - the village looked peaceful, but there was nothing disturbing about it.
The feeling of relaxation. Covered under the tranquility, is a faint air of death.
Fifteen whistled, and a black-clothed secret guard flew over from a distance, knelt down on one knee and said, "Master."
Si Haochen put one hand on the car window: "Where is Chu Chenzhou?"
"Reporting to the master, Master Chu and Miss A Yuan took the few surviving people in the village and retreated into the mountains."
"Going into the mountains?" Si Haochen didn't understand why Chu Chenzhou wanted to go into the mountains.
"Exactly." The secret guard nodded, "This village is a bit evil. After nightfall, poisonous people will always fight in the village. These houses were destroyed by poisonous people fighting. When we first came here, the houses in the village were still there.
That’s not the case.”
Corpse-stinking konjac grows here, and its smell at night attracts poisonous people to fight. This small village becomes a 'poison cup' for refining poison, and people infected with corpse poison become 'poison bugs' that devour their own kind and strengthen themselves.
'.
"Lead the way into the mountain!" Si Haochen said in a deep voice.
"yes."
The secret guard jumped onto the carriage shaft and pointed the way to Fifteen. The sky was already darkening: "Hurry up, those poisonous people are coming soon."
Linglong enlarged her body and lay lazily on the roof of the car: Huh, even if they come, they don't dare to attack my baby's carriage!
