Chapter 196: Whoever is the Yellow Bird is the Cicada
Long Er was alone in the room and there was nothing to do, and Xiao Wu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Shao Hongying followed, and Xiao Wu directly explained the things downstairs.
"Do you know how to guard against Gu masters?" Xiao Wu wondered.
"Gu worms also have the breath of life, or they can confuse the senses, but they can't avoid the detection of divine sense. Even mosquitoes and ants can be a Gu worm. After Shao Hongying finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Xiao Wu started to have a headache, fortunately, it was not summer and saved the trouble of mosquitoes, but it was too much of a headache to pay attention to things as small as ants all the time.
"Long'er, are you hungry?" asked Xiao Wu.
Long Er shook her head slightly, she was not hungry, but after hearing Xiao Wu talk about the situation downstairs just now, she also knew that she had to try not to mix it now, she was hungry or something, and she would endure it and it would pass.
At this time, there was a sound of fighting downstairs, and after Xiao Wu told Long'er to be careful, he hurried out of the room.
When Xiao Wu walked to the stairs, there was already a mess downstairs, one of the remaining twelve people was lying on the table, his face was black, and the other eleven people were divided into two sides, the tall young man and the double eight woman were surrounded by everyone, most of the tables and chairs in the hall were broken, and the woman was blocked several times when she wanted to break through.
"Is she the Gu Master?" Xiao Wu muttered to himself.
Suddenly there were black clouds in the hall, and I don't know what the woman did, and countless mosquitoes flew out of those black clouds, scattering in all directions.
When Xiao Wu saw this, he hurriedly ran to the room, and before Long Er could speak, he closed the doors and windows, and blocked the gap with a quilt.
"Brother Xiao Wu, what's wrong?" Long Er asked after watching Xiao Wu finish his work.
"There are mosquitoes outside, it should be Gu worms. Xiao Wu frowned and said.
"Oooh. Long Er nodded, "What about that sister?"
"She's going to be fine. Xiao Wu didn't have the slightest doubt that Shao Hongying would be difficult by this kind of thing.
In this way, the two spent the night in a room without quilts.
The next day, there was a faint light outside the window, and Xiao Wu listened to the fact that there was no movement outside, so he slowly opened the door.
"Long'er, you stay here, I'll go see if there's anything to eat. "Xiao Wu left Long'er behind.
"Hmm. Long'er nodded, she was indeed hungry.
When Xiao Wu walked towards the stairs again, he found that the place had been broken, and half of the stairs had collapsed and were suspended in mid-air. Xiao Wu jumped straight down, and there was nothing else in the lobby except for a pile of broken tables and chairs.
"Is the shopkeeper there?" Xiao Wu shouted, but no one responded, and went directly into the back kitchen, at this time he found that the shopkeeper was sorting things, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Shopkeeper, what are you doing?"
The shopkeeper seemed to have just noticed that there was someone behind him, and when he turned around and saw Xiao Wu, he hurriedly bent down and saluted, "What do you have to say, little young master?"
"Are you packing your things?" Xiao Wu wondered.
"Oh, yes. Something happened last night, someone paid all the fees for this little building, so this place doesn't belong to me anymore. The shopkeeper smiled apologetically and got busy again.
"Well, is there anything else to eat here?" Xiao Wu asked.
"Because the people in the back kitchen have been dismissed, there is no food, but there are still some snacks that have been prepared before. The shopkeeper had already cleaned up, and he led Xiao Wu to the cabinet where the snacks were placed.
"Thank you, shopkeeper. Xiao Wu opened the cabinet, and there were still a lot of snacks inside.
Suddenly, a spear picked up the shopkeeper, and he couldn't speak because of the pain, and blood gushed out of his mouth and dripped to the ground.
"You!" Xiao Wu looked surprised when he saw the figure behind the shopkeeper, and he asked, "Why?"
Xiao Wu was stunned in place, he couldn't understand why Shao Hongying would make a move on an ordinary person.
"He's dead. Shao Hongying's hand was slightly forced, the shopkeeper was torn apart, and Xiao Wu noticed that the blood in his body had coagulated black.
Shao Hongying had already gone upstairs, Xiao Wu slowly squatted down and looked at the cracked corpse, "After death, you act like a living person, Gu worm?"
"Yes, even a cultivator was injured by the Gu Master yesterday, not to mention that the shopkeeper is just an ordinary person. Xiao Wu sighed and figured everything out. His spirit body observed the corpse, all the living breath had died, and it seemed that the Gu worms had been killed by Shao Hongying.
"What is this?" As the spirit looked around, Xiao Wu noticed that the dim sum had a little red light, and when he looked closely, he saw that they were actually insect eggs.
If it is taken and eaten by the dragon, or distributed by the treasurer...... Xiao Wu thought for a moment, couldn't help but hammer his fist to the ground, and scolded in his mouth: "Abominable Gu Master!"
At this moment, Xiao Wu understood why the Gu Master was scolded.
Xiao Wu threw the pastries into the fire, buried the broken corpses, and carefully searched for nothing before returning to the second floor.
The poor girl was already fainting from hunger, and when she saw Xiao Wu, she made a faint cry, like a kitten.
"Long'er, I'll take you out to find something to eat. Xiao Wu held Long'er in her arms, and she didn't even have the strength to walk.
The name of this place is Tianlai City, the city is very lively, and there are countless restaurants on the street. Xiao Wu hugged Long'er and didn't take a few steps before the smell of food was drawn to the side of the store.
"Little Er, get some food. Xiao Wu walked directly to the counter.
"Oh, this guest officer is really embarrassed, it's full today, I'm afraid you two will have to wait for a while. The little second smiled and followed Xiao Wu's side.
"Well, make your meal ready, and I'll take it with you. Xiao Wu took out a silver ingot and put it in.
"Okay, okay, wait a minute. There are not many guest officers who are so reasonable, Xiao Er's eyes are full of gratitude, and after bowing, he began to work again.
The lobby was noisy, but two voices caught Xiao Wu's attention.
"Since yesterday's Gu Master leaked his whereabouts, several Gu Masters in the city have been discovered, and now everything has to be extra careful. One said.
"I really don't know what's going on with those disgusting guys, they couldn't be found before, but now they are all over the streets. The other deliberately lowered his voice, but resentment was revealed.
"Shhhh The first person looked left and right, and was relieved to see that the people around him were still the same as Fang Cai.
"What are they so afraid of?" the second man snorted, but didn't say anything more.
Xiao Wu waited with his ears open for a long time, but he didn't hear the two continue the topic just now, but Xiao Er's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Guest officer?" Xiao Er asked a few times.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Xiao Wu hurriedly replied as he reacted.
"Guest officer, the meals have been prepared, they are all the signature dishes of our store, and a pot of wine has been given to the guest officer here, I don't know where to send it?"
"Oh, just give it to me. Xiao Wu Lingqi leaned out, carefully probed the tray of food and drink, and took it after confirming that there was no problem.
Out of the store, wolf smoke rose in the distance, Xiao Wu glanced at it from a distance, and thought to himself, "Are the cultivators of Tianlai City so messy?"
Thinking that Long'er was still here, Xiao Wu, who suddenly realized that Tianlai City was not a good place, hurried back.
"Long'er!" Xiao Wu, who had just jumped up to the second floor, hurriedly shouted.
It's a pity that no one responded, Xiao Wu's heart tightened, a bad premonition flashed, he stepped forward quickly and hurriedly pushed open the door, and was relieved when he saw the caterpillar-like dragon.
"Xiao Wu...... Brother ......" The dragon's voice was like a dream, and his face was almost bloodless.
"Come and eat. Xiao Wu was helpless for a while, and almost raised the teenage child to death, which was really a failure.
Long'er, who had been hungry for a long time, finally crawled back from the ghost gate with a bite of food.
"Brother Xiao Wu, is this wine?" asked Xiao Wu with the well-fed Long Er carrying the small wine jug.
"Yes. Xiao Wu grabbed the small wine jug, "Children don't drink." ”
"You're not much older. Long Er muttered quietly, and then jumped up, "Brother Xiao Wu, are we staying here?"
"Are you trying to go out?" asked Xiao Wu.
Long Er shook his head first, and then nodded, "Brother Xiao Wu, isn't it going to inquire about the matter here first?"
"Well, it's different from other places, you have to be careful with everything. "It's not that Xiao Wu doesn't want to search for information, it's that he can't rest assured.
"With Brother Xiaowu here, it must be no problem. Long Er blinked and ran out first, and Xiao Wu hurriedly chased after him.
"Long'er, where are you going?" Xiao Wu hurriedly asked.
"If you want to find out the news, it should be easiest to go through the government, sects, or beggars at the lowest level. Long Er said.
Xiao Wu looked at the girl with a strange gaze, and Long Er explained with a smile: "I have experienced a lot during the period of exile with my father. ”
The two didn't say anything more, Xiao Wu Ling's body monitored the surroundings for danger, and Long Er was constantly looking for something.
"Brother Xiao Wu, come here. Long Er pulled Xiao Wu and ran towards the path.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Wu wondered.
"A few people with dirty clothes passed by here just now, and most of the beggars will form in groups, and you should be able to find their gathering place along here. Long Er pointed there.
"Be careful!" Xiao Wu stretched out his hand to catch it, and he grabbed a small insect that swept towards Long'er's shoulder.
"This is?" Long Er wrinkled her nose, and she noticed a fishy smell coming from Xiao Wu's palm.
"Gu worms. Xiao Wu clapped his hands, trying to get rid of the smell, but unfortunately it was all in vain.
"Gu worm?" Long Er took Xiao Wu's hand and wiped it with a handkerchief, but the smell always remained.
Seeing a beggar walking over here, Xiao Wu hurriedly pulled up the dragon, "Let's go with us quickly." ”
Long Er shook his head instead, "Brother Xiao Wu, if this city is full of Gu masters, this smell will be obvious." ”
"Okay. Although Xiao Wu didn't think that those Gu masters would follow him so idly, what Long Er said was not unreasonable.
The two returned to their residence, and Xiao Wu found some water to keep washing, but there was some aftertaste after all.
"Where did you get this smell?" Shao Hongying pushed the door open.
Xiao Wu, who was washing his hands, tilted his head and looked at the door, "I slapped a Gu worm to death and was infected." ”
At this time, Xiao Wu noticed that Shao Hongying's eyes were vigilant, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there something wrong?"
Shao Hongying didn't speak, she closed the door after coming in directly, turned around and walked to the chair, sat on the chair with a spear in her arms and closed her eyes.
