Chapter 275: The Gears of Fate
I'll give you a map of Pudu Zhai now, and you can help find that old man, otherwise, if something really happens to that old man, we won't be able to get out of the relationship......"
Wei Tian squinted at the map that the woman had taken out of her arms, and hesitated to take it from her hand.
The two women turned around and walked away in avoidance, as if they were afraid of being caught by Suzaku and Wei Tianze and asking something.
Wei Tianze and Suzaku looked at each other, and they both felt that this development was really a bit of a miracle turn, and they almost couldn't react.
The two of them returned to the room where the door had broken the door, and sat by the window and began to discuss what to do next.
It stands to reason that now that the map is in hand, and the two women look empty-hearted, they should be able to discuss things in another place.
But after a while, the two of them felt that it was better not to act rashly before analyzing the situation clearly, and to wait and see what happened.
The two women didn't say anything that might happen to the white-haired old man, they just hinted at it with their own expressions.
Wei Tianze and Suzaku couldn't deduce that some of what they said was true and some were false.
It's just that at this time, it's really not good to have a direct conflict with the people of Puduzhai, so let's wait.
Maybe the old man came out on his own, and maybe Liu Bao woke up and was able to team up with them? Didn't the two people say that Liu Bao's treatment process was almost over.
A corner of Pudu Zhai.
A group of people gathered and discussed something.
"If we can't plant this on the little leaves, we'll have to be kicked out. β
"I've endured it for so long, otherwise I'd better wait......
"yes, I don't want to fail, or we're going to let the old man out?"
"Release it? What if something happens to him? How are we going to get this lie done?"
"Oh, it's all your fault, I said I should let him go, you don't believe it! This old man is already on the verge of death, and even forging his body has no effect, what if he ...... If only it really ......"
"I'm afraid of a fart! Those girls are so stupid, let's not talk about it, how can they find out the problem themselves?"
As they were discussing, there was an anxious knock at the door.
"Sister, something happened to that old man!"
The people running outside the door were covered in sweat and had frightened looks on their faces.
The few people who had been discussing it hotly immediately quieted down, exchanged a few glances, and finally fell silent.
"Sister, what can we do about this? Let's release him now to see if we can ......."
Someone gave a white look at the sweaty little girl.
"What do you see? Do you think that we can solve the things that Xiao Yezi and the old woman can't solve? β
The little girl's face turned pale: "Sister, what do you mean by this?"
The speaker looked at her impatiently.
"What do you mean? Can't you see that the old man has a close relationship with the old woman, if his body and bones can still be saved, how can the old woman ignore it? And Xiao Yezi...... She is the old woman's personal apprentice, and she has an entanglement with the old man, but after treating him, she has not been able to recuperate the old man's body, who do you think we can do?"
The little girl's face became quite ugly, and her tone became ungodly.
"That'...... So what can I do now? Why didn't you remind me before, there are things in our Pudu Zhai meals that they can't accept, need, need ......?"
She wanted to put the blame on others, but when the words came to her lips, she felt that this behavior was not right, but after all, she was afraid and aggrieved, and tears fell like that.
There are too many medicinal herbs and too many poisons in Puduzhai.
The food is contaminated with something, and people who have not been trained cannot bear it, and they need to massage every day to avoid poisoning.
But this little girl was busy avenging Xiao Yezi before, and completely left this matter behind. Coupled with the deliberate guidance of the people around her, she didn't think of this at all.
Now, the white-haired old man had fainted in the secret room.
She saw it through the surveillance, but she didn't dare to check it, and was instigated by a group of little girls to come to her sisters for help.
She never imagined that her sisters, who had always been gentle with her, would be so indifferent to her that they would refuse her without even trying.
The little girl was so anxious that she cried, and then one of them came out of the crowd and began to comfort her and guide her.
"Okay, okay, what are you afraid of? I'll show you the way. β
The little girl looked up suddenly.
"Really?"
The woman who spoke laughed and said, "Naturally, it's true, what did I lie to you to seduce you to cry a few more times? β
The little girl's eyes immediately widened, but she showed some hesitation when she heard the woman speak.
"This ...... We won't affect Sister Xiaoyezi, right? She's just been punished by her master, if anything......"
She kept her head down, obviously a little scared.
The woman was in a hurry and reached out and knocked her on the head.
"You girl, why are you just an elm head?! Can you compare Xiao Yezi's status in front of the old woman? She hasn't made mistakes before, what is the result? If this matter is borne by you, you may have to be kicked out of Puduzhai, if it is borne by her, maybe you are just scolded, why can't you figure it out?"
The little girl pursed her lips and didn't speak.
"But this is my own business, it wasn't Sister Xiao Yezi who asked me to go, if it were her, maybe I wouldn't have forgotten such an important thing, maybe the old man wouldn't have an accident, I'm ...... I don't want to implicate her!"
The woman's voice froze.
"Then go back and pack your bags, and prepare to be kicked out by the old woman, I really haven't seen the old woman show favor to anyone else." β
The little girl asked for a long time, and after confirming that there was no other way, she left sullenly.
After she left, the conversation in the corner began again.
"This ...... She's not going to carry it on her own, is she?"
"Who cares about her, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us, and we didn't do anything, whether she wants to pull Xiaoye into the water is her business, but it has nothing to do with us...... Don't try to splash dirty water on us!"
"Hee-hee...... Also, but it would be a pity if this move was scrapped. β
"Okay, now that you've decided, let's do it, what are you still doing here?!"
"Who's going to go? I'm going to have to give the old woman a hand. β
"I ...... I have to look at Wei Tianze and Suzaku, those two people have a good effect of forging their bodies, and they have broken the door, I am afraid that something will happen again. β
As soon as he said that he was going to do something and the white-haired old man turned out, everyone began to retreat.
The most flamboyant in the group sneered and mocked: "All of them are shrunken turtles, okay, I'll do it myself, right?
The rest were silent for a moment, and then the voices came and went.
"Oh, sister, how did you say this, that little leaf is out of tune, you are the one who deserves it, why do you want to say this to ruin the feelings of the sisters?"
"That's it, even if my sister goes to take the position of the little leaf, we naturally won't have any ideas. β
The woman looked up and laughed twice.
"Haha, I know what you guys think. β
Her hands passed over her chest and raised them to her eyes, fiddling from side to side, her eyes admiring the seductive movements of her fingers, and her voice became a little misty.
It's as if I'm fascinated by my own weak and boneless hands.
"You are just thinking, Xiao Yezi has been waiting in this position for a long time now and has not waited for the old woman to give way, I just go up and I don't know how many things have changed, you are waiting for me to come out and be disposed of by the old woman, and then come out and pretend to be a good person to snatch my position, right?"
It was quiet, and no one spoke.
The woman didn't care whether the people around her paid attention to her or not, and only said to herself: "Don't worry, I have already prepared the evidence of your collusion with me in and out, if I am a secret, you-"
Her hand was lowered suddenly, and her eyes fell on the group of people with a soft and weak look that seemed to be a smile, and her voice was almost excited.
"Not a single one of them can run! β
She didn't wait for anyone to react, turned around and left.
The rest of the people were somewhat annoyed that they had been too careless in the past, and they had been caught, and they had no interest in continuing the discussion, and quickly dispersed.
The amazing-looking woman arrived alone in the secret room.
The white-haired old man sensitively heard the noise outside the door.
He knew that his plan had succeeded. I don't know what the structure of the secret room is, and if no one moves the door, he can't hear any noise outside.
Now he could hear the sound outside the door, it meant that the door had been opened.
He felt his heart beat faster, especially in the silence.
He even felt that his face on the ground had become a little hot, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it, controlling himself not to make the slightest sound.
He needs to wait.
Wait for a suitable opportunity.
Before that, he still needs to judge how many people are there and whether it is possible to escape like this.
According to his reasoning, he probably didn't need to look for long. If his memory was not wrong, Puduzhai should be very small. This chamber is mostly underground, as long as it reaches the surfaceβ
Pudu Zhai is now in civil strife, he is a flag that is barely useful to several parties, as long as his whereabouts are exposed, it will be regarded as an extra glimmer of life.
He carefully controlled the rhythm of his breathing, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.
Then he smelled the fragrance from the woman, and unlike other Pudu Zhai people, this person not only had the fresh smell of herbs, but also had a little fat powder.
The white-haired old man sensitively sensed that something was wrong.
The people of Pudu Zhai are almost half monks, and apart from dealing with blood every day, they are no different from monks.
Oh no, and meat.
But no matter what, these women don't wear makeup. Naturally, I don't use perfume or anything.
Although they look very good, most of them come from daily immersion, and they don't care about it at all.
If one of them loves to use fat powderβ
That probably shows that this person is not bent on seeking medical treatment, but just wants the reputation of Puduzhai and the benefits brought by fame.
The white-haired old man had felt that Puduzhai's instructions were too bright and upright.
A person's soul can't stand scrutiny, like Puduzhai's requirements, if it weren't for the fact that this reputation is too big, and there are too many people to admire, I'm afraid Puduzhai would have disappeared long ago because he couldn't recruit disciples.
What did the old woman say at that time?
"Although Pudu Zhai claims to be born, it has too much to do with the world, and if there is a weak mind mixed in, the millennium operation may be ruined. β
The white-haired old man thought about the words of the old woman who was sitting in a precarious position back then, and he only felt pity.
Whether or not the truth of this matter is as he suspected, at least Puduzhai is not as simple as it used to be.
The woman crouched down beside him.
The smell on the tip of his nose was even stronger, and he even subconsciously wanted to frown and avoid it.
It took all his strength to keep himself from revealing his flaws, and the white-haired old man really didn't dare to be careless, holding his breath and waiting to deal with it.
No one spoke, no other footsteps were heard, could it be a single person?
So he guessed correctly, there was really something wrong with the meal?
So if he suddenly breaks out now, will he not be able to escape at all, but will still startle the snake?
A long list of questions flew through his mind, and the white-haired old man calculated what he should do to be safe.
Then he realized that he had no choice at all.
- The roof of his jaw was pried open, and the woman was holding a bag of something to stuff into his mouth!
I can't bear it, I don't need to endure it anymore.
The white-haired old man suddenly reached out and grabbed the woman's wrist, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that her eyes were full of shock and a little proud, and after confirming that the woman did not have much martial arts, he quickly threw her into the corner of the wall, turned around and was about to walk out.
"You're not poisoned?!"
The woman screamed and began to ask rhetorically, a twisted look on her face.
No...... Impossible! This old man was very energetic when he was forging his body before, and he didn't feel anything at all, so how could he not react to those foods?
Did that little girl lie to her?
That's not right...... That little girl shouldn't have noticed anything at all, and she was even stupidly struggling with whether to involve Xiaoyezi, so what's going on?
The white-haired old man squinted at her, judged the current situation slightly, and felt that he was very dangerous now, and he shouldn't be entangled with her more.
Keep your curiosity under control.
Curiosity kills cats.
With that in mind, he walked quite quickly, and quickly walked down the long staircase to the ground.
When he saw the sunshine that he hadn't seen for a long time, he was so moved that he was about to cry.
The woman in the secret room was full of panic, desperately remembering what had gone wrong, but she didn't get any answers.
