Chapter 692: Footprints
Li Hu said: "Third Senior Brother, that guy is so powerful, could it be the master wearing the iron mask you met in Huaiqing City last time?"
Simon Hitomi groaned slightly, and said, "It doesn't seem to be." The man in the Iron Mask I had met was tall and burly, more than eight feet tall, and I had seen from afar that he was no more than seven feet tall, and a little thin, far less than the Man in the Iron Mask. ”
Li Hu said: "Damn, there are really a lot of masters I have encountered this time! It seems that there are more people to be sent here to defend it, and it will be bad if someone touches it again!"
He turned his eyes and saw the footprints that Hua Bushi had been staring at before, and said, "Are these the footprints left by that guy, I'll go over and take a look." ”
However, before he could step forward, he heard Hua Bushi shouting: "Zhanzhu, don't go over!"
Li Hu was stunned and asked, "Boss, what's wrong?"
Hua Bushi said: "That footprint is full of poison all around, if you get it, I can't save you." ”
Li Hu's eyes widened, and he said, "No, how can there be any poison in this world that even the boss can't solve? I can't see anything strange about these footprints? Hey, the blades of grass over there seem to be rolled up!"
The pair of footprints on the grass seemed to be very ordinary, and there was nothing unusual, but just a moment before Li Hu spoke, he saw that the grass in the footprints suddenly curled up and withered, and a peony tree planted in the grass, the leaves instantly turned black, and they fell down one after another!
The area within a radius of four or five feet seemed to be burned by an invisible flame, and instantly turned into a charred black color. Seeing this scene, Li Hu couldn't help but be dumbfounded, it was hard to imagine that there were some powerful poisons in the world!
Hua Bushi said: "This poison is so fierce that those who touch it will die immediately, and they don't even have the opportunity to take the antidote." Li Hu, you quickly call a few disciples to build a wooden fence three feet away from this footprint, and surround it, so that others don't know how to approach and lose their lives in vain. ”
By now, Hua Bushi had also understood why the mist that had risen from the fog suddenly surging towards the window when he was boiling medicine in the house to test the poison. In that yellow mist, a strong antidote was gathered, and the person standing outside the window and peeping was possessed by peerless poisonous skills.
And even if it is a person who cultivates poisonous skills, if he doesn't want to hurt people, he will not be exposed, and the ** standing outside the window is probably because he sensed the medicinal power in the house, and unconsciously stimulated the poisonous skills in his body, so he left such a pair of highly poisonous footprints on the grass.
Remembering the matter of cooking medicine, Hua Bushi hurriedly turned around and walked back to the house quickly.
The fog in the room had long since cleared, and although the great stove had not yet been extinguished, the charcoal fire had long since dimmed. Without firepower, the black liquid in the iron pot was no longer boiling, only a little heat was bubbling up, and in the large porcelain cup on the iron frame, the poisonous blood had turned back to a dark red color and had begun to condense.
Seeing this, Hua Bushi couldn't help but sigh, knowing that being disturbed by the mysterious cloth hat guest like this, it took a lot of effort to boil medicine and test poison tonight, which can be regarded as giving up halfway. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Bu Wang standing in the corner of the wall with cowering, his eyes straight, his face full of panic, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble, obviously terrified.
Hua Bushi's heart moved, and he wanted to ask, but suddenly heard a noise in the courtyard, and there was a ** shouting: "Hey, what are you doing?
Listening to the voice is Uncle De, the shopkeeper of Rui Dexiang Inn.
Hua Bushi walked out of the house, and sure enough, he saw Uncle De standing in the courtyard with two men, pointing at several Perak Camp disciples with a righteous attitude, shouting, and there were several door panels on the ground that had been split.
It turned out that Hua Bushi had just ordered a fence to be built to enclose the poisonous footprints, and these disciples couldn't find any usable wooden planks for a while, so they took local materials and removed a few door panels from each room of the inn.
Uncle De saw Hua Bushi going out, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young Master Hua, you don't sleep at night, and you are shocked, and you are still dismantling the things in my store, what's going on......"
He didn't finish a word, but Hua Bushi had already lowered his face and interrupted: "You ask me? Young Master Ben still wants to ask the shopkeeper what's the matter with you! Your inn is so unsafe, and even more thieves come in in the middle of the night, if Young Master Ben hadn't found out early, I don't know how many silver taels he would have lost!"
"There are thieves?" Uncle De has been in the front lobby, only to hear a sound behind him and hurried over, the cloth hat guest walked very fast, he naturally did not see it, said: "Impossible! Our Rui Dexiang is a time-honored brand, there are people guarding the surrounding streets every night, where will the thieves enter?"
Hua Bushi snorted and said, "Young Master Ben can still deceive you! The thief who came in just now, dozens of us here can all see it clearly, and the two footprints on the grass over there are left by him. ”
Uncle De followed Hua Bushi's hope, and suddenly saw the withering of the grass and trees around the footprints, and couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and said, "This ...... How can this be the case?"
Hua Bushi said: "The thief has cast a poison here, so there will be such a thing, the person who touches this poison will die immediately, and this young master is kind, and ordered his disciples to build a fence and surround the footprints." If you don't believe me, you might as well go and touch it and see if you will die. ”
Seeing that the grass and trees nearby had become charred black, Uncle De had already believed in it, where did he dare to go up and touch it, and said with a bitter face: "But...... But this house is the upper room of the store, and this large fence is enclosed in the courtyard, when will it be demolished?"
Now there is a legend outside that the plague god lives in the Deruixiang Inn, and now there is such a large fence surrounding a pair of highly poisonous footprints, and it is strange that someone dares to come to the hotel in the future!
Hua Bushi smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry about the shopkeeper of this section, if you don't touch this poison, it will dissipate by itself as long as it takes a year and a half, and then the fence can also be removed!"
A year and a half? This fence has been erected for so long, it seems that De Ruixiang is only closed!
Listening to Hua Bushi's words, Uncle De only felt as if he was poured down by a basin of cold water, and his feet were soft, and he had collapsed on the body of a shopkeeper.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Longma Temple, located in the middle of the city, is the largest Zen temple in Mengjin.
Ryoma Temple is also known as "Ryoma Negative Picture Temple". Legend has it that in ancient times, the Fuxi clan came to the Mengjin area, led the people to fish and hunt, draw gossip, make book deeds, and be upright, ending the ignorant era of knotted rope and creating a precedent for Chinese civilization. In order to commemorate Fuxi, the ancients carved dozens of stone tablets to record his events and enshrined them in the temple.
Longma Temple is famous, the incense has always been good, but all the pilgrims who come to the temple today can only burn incense in the front of the Tianwang Hall and the Putuo Hall to make a vow, if you still want to go to the largest Guanyin Hall in the temple, you will be stopped by the monks.
These guards are not only the monks of the original Malongma Temple, but also many of them are Shaolin monks.
Master Wuchen, Master Yuanguang and his entourage came to Mengjin from Songshan Shaolin Temple, and it has been three days since they arrived, of course they will not go to live in the inn in the city, but stay in Longma Temple. There are nearly 100 Shaolin monks in this line, and the abbot of Longma Temple, Dazhi Zen Master, has a lot of roots with Shaolin, and he is still the nephew of the dustless master, so there is no problem for the Shaolin monks to live in.
At this moment, it is almost noon, and the outside of the Guanyin Hall is heavily guarded, and dozens of monks with sticks and swords surround the entire hall, and no one can approach them without them finding it.
In the main hall, there is a painted clay statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the middle, sitting upright on the lotus, the law is solemn, in the incense burner placed in front of the Buddha statue, several residual incense sticks are still smoking green.
Naturally, there are no chairs here, only dozens of **, and the people in the temple can only sit cross-legged on **. And the nine people here are all leaders of all walks of life in this crusade against the "Rich Alliance".
The east head is the dustless master, the Yuanguang master and the two "Yuan" monks of the "Shaolin School" Yuanzhen and Yuande, while the west head is Fang Changsheng, Liu Yuanhe, Yuan Xi, and another elder Zhong Yuanhao of the "Luohan Gate", and the north head is Hua Bushi and Chu Yiyi of the "Evil Dog Gate".
On the south side of the main seat, there is a white-eyed old monk who sits, who is the owner here, the abbot of Longma Temple, Dazhi Zen Master.
This Guanyin hall is not small, only nine people sit in it seems very empty, and the people outside the hall are dozens of zhang away, if the people in the hall do not intend to shout loudly, they will definitely not be heard from the outside.
"Fang Mou heard that there was a foreign enemy infiltrating Young Master Hua's inn last night, is there such a thing?"
Hua Bushi said: "The news of Master Fang is really well-informed, last night someone did sneak into the Furuixiang Inn where Young Master Ben lived, and when he was found to have escaped, he also made a move with his disciples. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Master Yuanguang was slightly surprised, and said, "Young Master Hua's residence must be heavily defended, and since this person can escape, his ability must not be weak. ”
Hua Bushi smiled bitterly: "Not to mention that he is not weak! This person is strong in martial arts, I am afraid that he is not under the head of Fang, and he is proficient in poison skills, if he wants to kill me last night, this young master will probably be dead." ”
Hearing this, Fang Changsheng's face also showed a solemn expression, and said, "Fang just heard from the disciples who were patrolling the city that there was a gunshot sound from the inn where Young Master Hua stayed last night, and something must have happened, but he didn't expect that such a master would sneak into Mengjin City, could it be the leader of the Demon Dao?"
Master Yuanguang said: "The other party must have a plan to send top masters into the city, if we organize some people to search all over the city, we can't catch him, at least we can find some clues." ”
