Chapter 96: Uninvited Guest
The effect of the Candle is not only to put people into a soul-like disembodied state, but also has some effect similar to a small enchantment.
To put it simply, the light emitted by the candle will create a special barrier of light and shadow around the user, and the user can choose to show or cover it by controlling the barrier.
It only took Lu Jiu ten minutes to get familiar with this kind of operation.
Holding the dark candle in his hand, he looked down at the obvious drunken seven or eight points in front of him, and unexpectedly regarded himself as Chen Lide's man, although he was quite emotional in his heart, Lu Jiu also knew in his heart that this was the best time.
"Jingyi, how are you doing lately?"
Recalling some of the information mentioned on the note in his mind, Lu Jiu interrupted Tang Jingyi's remembrance.
"Luo Zhi almost suffered, but fortunately, with the help of nobles, Yunxiu and I are fine. ”
The ghost spoke suddenly, and Tang Jingyi, who was drunk, was somewhat frightened for a while, but when he thought about it, the ghost next to him was his brother who he had played with since he was a child, and he didn't forget to care about himself after he died, and his face couldn't help but show a little sadness.
"I thought I knew everything three years ago...... Jingyi, if it really comes to a critical moment, you don't have to keep your promise...... It doesn't hurt to live and tell them the message of that treasure...... Even if, even if the method of making it has long been seized by the prison. ”
Deliberately making his words intermittent, Lu Jiu paid attention to Tang Jingyi's state.
"No, brother, what they want is not the message of the dragon pendant...... What I really want is to confirm the location of those thugs in the prison through this news, Denglong...... The big snake back then, I don't know if Brother Shi still remembers, it was the spirit animal of our Shexiang Town, and it has disappeared in recent years when worshipping ancestors...... It may have been killed by the prisoners, without it...... I should have spoken out!"
Tang Jingyi, who was in a drunken state, suddenly became excited, gritted his teeth and roared,
"I should avenge you and tell those things desperately, but I have to be responsible for Yunxiu and Luo Zhi......"
Ascending the dragon pendant?
Orochi?
The two key messages revealed by Tang Jingyi in a drunken state made Lu Jiu quickly think of the information he had collected through various channels recently.
As previously speculated, the prison did have a plan to create a massacre in Shexiang Town, and Lu Jiu didn't know what the Denglong pendant represented, but now it was certain that it also involved a snake demon.
'In the eighteenth year of Shenglong, on the 10th day of July, there were snakes and beasts roaring in the mountains near Shexiang Town, which resounded throughout the town and within a radius of three miles. ’
Lu Jiu remembered this information quite clearly, Zhou Ze also thought that this was a rural legend, and now it seems that the people in Shexiang Town not only knew that there was such a snake demon, but even called it a spirit beast to protect the town.
How could an ordinary town regard a monster as a spirit animal?
Not to mention Tang Jingyi's words, it was vaguely revealed that the snake demon seemed to play a huge role in some things.
In fact, the alien pupil cat mentioned two pieces of news that could be used as bait for this operation in the note to Lu Jiu, one is the treasure that Lu Jiu just said, and the other is a strange legend about monsters that once existed in Shexiang Town!
didn't think that the second bait Lu Jiu hadn't used it yet, so Tang Jingyi said it himself.
Writing down these two pieces of information, Lu Jiu wanted to ask a few more words, but when he raised his head, he found that Tang Jingyi was already "nodding" on the rattan chair, looking drowsy.
Do you want to wake him up?
Lu Jiu had just had this idea in his heart, but the sudden sound of horses' hooves and wheels rolling on the side of the street in Xiuqifang attracted his attention, and he turned his head to look over, only to see a delicately styled carriage on the corner of the street heading this way.
After a short hesitation, Lu Jiu did not disturb Tang Jingyi again, but stood at the door of the Chen family's mansion behind him.
The effect of the dark candle is to create a barrier of light and shadow in an area, which means that if someone forcibly breaks in, it is very likely that they will notice Lu Jiu's current translucent state, and there will be a lot of trouble at that time.
Lu Jiu originally wanted to wait for the carriage to pass before making the next move, but unexpectedly, when the carriage was approaching Chen and the Tang family's mansion, it suddenly slowed down, and after a while, it stopped at the door of the Tang family's mansion steadily!
Looking for Tang Jingyi at this point in time?
Lu Jiu's eyes locked on the carriage, and his eyes widened suddenly.
At this time, the man sitting at the front of the carriage, with a whip in his hand, and the foal in his hand, had a burly body and a head full of red hair...... It's the man I saw at the gate of Qingding Public School before!
How did he end up here......
No, it should be said how he chose to appear at this time.
Judging from his behavior of taking away the county records collected in Qingding Public School, it was not an accident that he found out about the problems of the Chen and Tang families, what is really worth caring about is that this person clearly has an official identity, but he has to choose to appear here at the sensitive time of the first seven nights.
When the carriage stopped, the Semu people should have also noticed Tang Jingyi at the door of Chen's house when they came over, and at this time, the servants of the Tang family also noticed the visitors outside the door, and the housekeeper hurriedly went out to greet him, but the Semu people didn't pay attention to the butler at all, but walked directly to Tang Jingyi's side.
He first bowed down to take a look, paused for two seconds, and then raised his hand to grab Tang Jingyi's collar and pull him up from the rattan chair.
Such a rough action unsurprisingly aroused the anger of the old butler, and he trotted over to stop him by shouting "stop" in his mouth, but he didn't take a few steps closer and fell to his knees as if he had been hit by some kind of heavy blow, sweating profusely and panting.
It may be difficult for others to understand this scene, but Lu Jiu, who is not far from them, clearly felt that the moment that appeared just now can be called a terrifying momentum oppression.
The person in front of him, to say the least, is also a demon vein who has completed the awakening!
Can make a strong man of this level a coachman, who is the person sitting in this carriage?
After suppressing the old butler, the man took out a medicine bottle from his waist, took out a pill from it, and stuffed it into Tang Jingyi's mouth before putting him back on the rattan chair.
It didn't take long for Tang Jingyi to start moaning one after another, and at the same time he was holding on to the rattan chair and getting up again, although his body was shaking, he could clearly feel that his drunkenness was fading.
"You, you're ......"
Seeing the stranger in front of him, Tang Jingyi was immediately startled, and asked with a trembling tone.
The color eyed man didn't say much, took out a token from his arms and showed it in front of Tang Jingyi, and then stepped forward and whispered in his ear.
Almost at the moment when the words of the color eye man fell, Tang Jingyi's feet were soft, but before he knelt down, he was framed by the former.
"Lao Xu, you go back and tell Yunxiu that I may have to go out tonight, don't worry, it's not a big deal, I'll be back tomorrow." ”
With the support of the Semu people, Tang Jingyi calmed down, turned to the old butler who stood up tremblingly and said.
Before the old housekeeper could reply, the Semu people had already taken Tang Jingyi to the carriage next to him, and sent him up as soon as he stretched out his hand.
The carriage, which had only stopped for a short time, disappeared again into the night.
Only the old housekeeper and Lu Jiu remained in place.
The former's face was full of confusion, but the latter was thoughtful.
