Volume 1 Chapter 19 Phoenix Fruit
At the fork in the road, Zhou Tian turned around and smiled at a few people behind him, and asked Ma Gang, "Which way?"
“...... Left!" Ma Gang didn't seem to expect Zhou Tian to ask him, and hesitated for a moment before saying.
Zhou Tian smiled at Ma Gang, turned his head and walked to the left, the ghost eye followed him closely, for fear that something would go wrong.
The movements of Kuizi and the others seemed to follow Zhou Tian closely, but in fact, as soon as Zhou Tian got in, he sped up and left several people behind.
Ma Gang's pace slowed down, Zhou Tian's smile just now made him a little frightened, he couldn't say why, he moved his steps and slowly retreated.
Before the four people inside could react, Zhou Tian had already entered through the hole.
Seeing the flashing dagger coming towards him, Zhou Tian didn't spare his hand at all, and knocked the person unconscious and lay on the ground in a few strokes.
"Just like that, you still want to sneak attack?" Zhou Tian sneered.
A voice came from behind him, and the ghost eye followed in, and Zhou Tian stretched out his hand to pull him to the side.
The young man and woman in the back followed closely behind and came in with a flashlight, but before they could see anyone, the flashlight in their hand was kicked away and rolled into a nearby corner.
Immediately after that, I heard Zhou Tian's exclamation, "Ahh
The unexpected situation made everyone subconsciously vigilant.
The young man should be in good hands, and when he heard the voice, he dodged, and a black shadow flashed in front of him, and he reached out and pulled out the dagger on his waist.
However, his eyes could not see, so he could only hold the dagger and pull back and forth, "Little demon!" he whispered.
Then I heard a woman cry out in pain, and she lost her voice.
"Little demon!" the young man slowly stepped back, but suddenly an arm stretched out behind him, which suddenly stuck his neck, and his back knee bent painfully, and he was pressed to his knees with a "bang".
The young man's dagger fell to the ground, and his hands went to the arm around his neck.
"Believe it or not, if you move, you'll die!" Zhou Tian's voice was like a ghost crawling up from under the ground, cold and piercing, and the young man suddenly stopped moving.
"Why?" asked Ghost Eye as he turned on his flashlight as the little demon lay not far away.
The young man just stared coldly at the ghost eyes, and Zhou Tian's efforts suddenly made it difficult for him to breathe.
"You guys have gone to such great lengths, you just want to deal with the ghost brother, right?" Zhou Tian asked, the ghost eye's surprised eyes flashed.
"Hehe......" The young man held his breath and laughed.
"Say, you hurry up, if you don't say it......" Zhou Tian made another effort, "You won't die!"
What is the truth of saying this, saying that you will die, and if you don't say it, you will not die?
But the young man understood that what Zhou Tian meant was that if he didn't say it, it would make him worse than dead!
"You have to deal with the Buddha!" Ghost Eye said affirmatively.
Zhou Tian raised his eyes and looked over, the black, ghost-eyed face was not clear, but judging from the middle-aged man's reaction, the ghost-eyed was right.
"Then die!" Zhou Tianya bit and was about to break this person's neck.
He really had the intention of killing today, but Zhou Tian, who had never even killed a chicken, said this just to scare him, and he really couldn't kill people.
"Zhou Tian!" Ghost Eye stopped Zhou Tian, "Take him up!"
Zhou Tian let go of his hand, and the young man lay on the ground and coughed for a long time before he could breathe.
"Brother Ghost, you go up first!" Zhou Tian said, wiping it at the young man's dantian, and saw the young man's head hanging down and dying.
He handed the person over to the ghost eye, and the ghost eye dragged the young man by the neck and dragged it into the hole when he came, Zhou Tian looked back at the woman on the ground, reached out and lifted the person on his shoulder, and went out behind the ghost eye.
Outside the cave, Kuizi was checking on the young man, "Junko!
But no matter how he called, the young man closed his eyes tightly and did not react, at this time, Zhou Tian came out and put the little demon on his shoulder to the young man.
"You ......" Kuizi looked at the ghost eyes and Zhou Tian's eyes with fierce and fierce eyes.
"Why are you looking at us like that?" Zhou Tian looked over with a smile, "We saved their lives! There are four people below who want our lives! If it weren't for us, the two of them would have died a long time ago!"
"Thank you!" Kuizi squeezed three words out of his teeth hatefully, turned back to the old man and said, "Let's go!"
After speaking, Kuizi carried one on his back and walked down the mountain.
"Are you leaving?" don't you even ask why those people killed us just now?" Zhou Tian asked playfully.
"Hmph!" the ghost eyes stared at Kuizi's distant back, and snorted coldly with an unswerving face.
Ma Gang squatted next to him with a pale face, and the frequency of smoking became higher.
"What's going on?" Liao Yigang came over with two professors.
Zhou Tian told me what had just happened.
"It's not a small courage!" Liao Yigang's face turned pale, "The Li family is impatient!"
"Thank you!" Ghost Eye said to Zhou Tian, although it was hard, Zhou Tian didn't mind.
"Your own people, you're welcome!"
"Senior brother, how do you know that they are greasy?" Liao Yigang asked curiously.
"Before, they were leaving, but then they heard that we didn't go and changed their hexagrams, and it was not right to see them along the way, and they had to follow me several times without saying anything, it looked like surveillance, and it was strange if they weren't tired!" Zhou Tian said, he didn't dare to say that he "saw" it.
Professor Zhao and Professor Zhao had already heard it almost as well, and they were both a little afraid.
"Then ...... here," Professor Zhang pointed to the cave.
"Inside is where they do the old stuff. Ghosteye said.
Professor Zhao also guessed that everywhere here has nothing to do with the tomb, it is really just a "pit".
"What about the four of them?" asked Zhou Tian.
Ghost Eye didn't speak, glanced at Ma Gang, and pulled him into the cave.
"I'm just taking the money to do things, it really has nothing to do with me!" Ma Gang's voice came out of the cave, and then there was no movement. "Ghost Eye hates sneak attacks in the pit the most!" Liao Yigang said to Zhou Tian.
After a while, the ghost eye came out and pushed the pale Ma Gang.
"Let's go!" said Ghosteye.
Zhou Tian didn't ask him what happened to those four people, just look at Ma Gang's face.
went down the mountain to Ma Gang's house, Ma Liang was still there, and Kuizi and the others had already left.
The ghost eye pushed Ma Gang to the ground, and Ma stood up suddenly.
"Mine with them!" Ghosteye said.
Ma Liang's eyes widened, those who do their job hate those who plant mines.
Planting mines is to make fakes or traps or sets with people.
"Ma Gang, do you dare to do things with bad rules?" Ma Liang pointed at Ma Gang and scolded, turned his head and looked at the ghost eyes with shame, "Blame me for this! I didn't draw lots for the goods last time, I'm sorry for the Buddha, go back and tell the Buddha for me!"
Ghost Eye nodded, turned around and said, "Let's go!"
Several people took their packed things and left here one after another, until they were all gone for a long time, and Ma Liang didn't get up from the ground.
In this business, he doesn't want to do it again!
Several people quickened their pace, and Professor Zhang and Professor Zhao were not tired, and soon returned to Ma Liang's house.
After a hurried meal, they got into the car and rushed back.
With the signal, Liao Yigang called Liu Shun and told him what happened here.
Over there, Liu Shun was furious, "Li family!
Zhou Tian and Ghost Eye took turns driving, saving a few hours compared to when they came, and drove back to Jiangcheng.
A few people didn't care about resting, and returned to Wenbaozhai directly at ten o'clock in the evening, Liu Shun had been waiting for a long time when he received the call, and had prepared a table of meals.
"Eat first, then talk about it after eating!" Liu Shun said.
Several people were also tired and hungry, and they were not verbose, so they sat down and started eating.
Zhou Tian was the same, just eating and eating, he remembered that the fruit was coming, and took it out and handed it to Liu Shun.
"Master, look at what kind of fruit this is, it grows in the cracks of the stones!"
Liu Shun took it and looked at the yellow-orange fruit, with two red leaves.
"I haven't seen it!" Liu Shun didn't recognize it after looking at it for a long time.
Professor Zhao inadvertently raised his head and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment, then put down his rice bowl and took the fruit.
"It's ...... This is...... Phoenix Fruit !!" Professor Zhao's voice was tremolo.
"What kind of fruit is the phoenix?" everyone was very strange, and they didn't know when they picked it on Sunday.
"It's when I'm going to go halfway to the convenience, I'm actually going to pick it!" Zhou Tian said, "At that time, I saw something in that place that attracted me, so I made an excuse, and I saw this when I got there!"
Zhou Tian didn't lie, he was indeed attracted to it, but he didn't say anything about the glow.
"Old Zhao, are you sure it's the phoenix fruit?" Professor Zhang asked.
One of them studies history and the other is archaeology, and they know more about some hidden legends than ordinary people.
"Phoenix Fruit, it is said that in the elixir of the alchemist that Qin Shi Huang ordered the alchemist to refine, the most important medicine is this! It's just that there are few records, and when I was also involved in the archaeological work of the Qinling Mountains, I accidentally found a tomb of an alchemist, and the murals of the tomb road recorded in detail the process of refining the elixir for Qin Shi Huang, and there was a bamboo slip at that time that recorded the phoenix fruit, but unfortunately, the bamboo slips were too badly damaged, and the others could not be restored!" Professor Zhao said.
"Oh!" Professor Zhang nodded, thoughtful.
"But ......" Professor Zhao frowned again, "According to the records of the remaining bamboo slips, the phoenix fruit should be extremely rare, or it should have been extinct for a long time, but I didn't expect that I would still be able to see it today!"
"So what does it do?" asked Liu Shun.
"Speaking of efficacy, that is, strengthening the body, it is not as mysterious as it is recorded!" Professor Zhao said with a smile, and then returned the fruit to Zhou Tian.
"Hey, I thought it was a treasure of heaven and earth!" Zhou Tian took it with a smile and handed it to Liu Shun.
"Master, then you can take it!" Zhou Tian said.
"Hehe, what's the use of me using it, such a big one, it's not enough to stuff your teeth!" Liu Shun smiled, turned around and gave it to Zhou Tian.
"Is it poisonous or not?" Liao Yigang was more careful after all.
"This is not clear, anyway, it is just a wild fruit, just deal with it Zhou Tian!" Professor Zhao smiled, and the excitement just now was temporary.
If you think about it, who knows if the past records are true!
Zhou Tian also thought it was funny, so he didn't push each other anymore, and put it back in his pocket.
After eating, Professor Zhang and Professor Zhao said goodbye and left first.
Liu Shun made tea, and then began to talk to Liao Yigang and Zhou Tian about going to the west.
"I received your call, so I sent a message to the capital, the Li family is so unscrupulous to make a trap with people and want to get rid of the ghost eye, it is very likely that they feel that what they are going to do next, the ghost eye is blocking their way!" Liu Shun said.
"The ghost eye is blocking their way, senior brother said that they are going to deal with you!" Zhou Tian didn't understand.
"That's right, do you know why he's called Ghost Eye?" asked Liu Shun.
"You told me, and my brother told me a lot!" replied Zhou Tian.
