Chapter 33 The incense burner is filled with spices
The woman grabbed the jade box on the bed with one hand, and two slender jade fingers pushed open the lid on it, revealing five elixirs in front of her.
After seeing the elixir, the woman's face was happy, and she turned her head and said to Long Zun: "The strength is not good, there are a lot of good things, it seems that your Long family attaches great importance to you, and will let you bring so many elixirs." ”
Turning around, he shook the side of the jade box with his wrist, threw out the elixir inside, and copied the dexterous palm in mid-air, and the five elixirs fell into his hand and kicked on his body.
"I'll take the elixir, even if it's your life money. As she spoke, she took away the scimitar on Long Zun's neck and put her hand in the scabbard at her waist.
Long Zun looked at the four hundred-year-old elixirs from the clan elders and one from the Wild Wolf Valley, which became the money for buying lives in other people's mouths in a blink of an eye, and suddenly smiled bitterly.
I wanted to discuss with the masked woman if I could leave him one or two, but when I saw the hilt of the scimitar swaying at the masked woman's waist, I didn't have the courage to say it.
The woman put away the elixir and seemed to be very happy, and the two eyes that were exposed outside the face towel were happy to be in the shape of a crescent moon.
After getting a few elixirs, the masked woman was satisfied, and threatened Long Zun in her words, turned around and walked out of the house, looking ready to leave.
Long Zun leaned his back on the bedside table, his eyes were always on the woman, and when he saw that the woman was really ready to leave this time, he was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
The heart said, the little fate was picked up.
Before he could completely relax his breath, he saw that the woman who had walked to the door of the house and was about to step out suddenly retracted her steps and looked back at Long Zun.
I only heard the other party say: "For the sake of the elixir, I will remind you that the incense burner in your house has been mixed with ingredients." ”
The door was gently opened, and the woman flashed and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
When the woman disappeared, Long Zun thought of the reminder when the woman left, and his heart was excited, and he recalled in his mind the first time he came to this room, and the whole person became drowsy, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.
At first, he thought that he was tired when he came back from Daqing Mountain, but when he heard the woman say this, he realized that something was wrong.
Without much hesitation, he lit the candle on the bedtable, held the candle in his hand and came to the incense burner under the bed, squatted down, and reached out to open the cover on the incense burner, revealing a layer of incense ash left after burning.
Approaching the candlelight, you can see that there are a few more black ashes on top of the pale white incense ash, just like a few black centipedes lying on it, which is very obvious.
He stretched out his right index finger, glued a little black ash and put it under his nose and sniffed it, and a fishy and unpleasant smell pierced his nose.
Thinking with his toes, he also knew that this was not the smell of sandalwood, let alone the smell of ambergris.
Suddenly, he thought of the unnatural appearance on Li Jing's face when he mentioned to Li Jing that there was a strange smell in the house before, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that Li Jing was lying to him.
It is more likely that Li Jing and Li Houzhong will join forces with the people of the Lu family, otherwise Li Jing and they would never have had the opportunity to add ingredients to the incense burner, and they happened to arrange for him to live in this room where the ingredients were added.
As for why Li Jing and Li Houzhong did this, Long Zun thought about it for a while, and immediately understood that the root cause was still the hundred-year-old elixir of the Wild Wolf Valley, and the other party still suspected that the elixir of the Wild Wolf Valley was on him.
The ingredients mixed in the incense burner are easier to explain, Li Houzhong and Li Jing want to stun him, and then take the opportunity to find a way to find an elixir from him.
Thinking of this, he was relieved that all the elixirs in the jade box had been taken away by the female assassins, at least the female assassins only needed the elixir and were not interested in his life.
If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, there is still a distance from the Lu family to Tiancheng County, and during this time, he has to go on the road with the two people of the Li family.
If the two members of the Li family found the elixir on his body, the consequences would probably not be as simple as taking the elixir away.
Five centuries-old elixir is enough for the two people of the Li family to take a risk, find a place where no one is there and kill for money, and then take the elixir unknowingly.
He stood up, glanced at the cloth bag with a hole on the bed and the jade box next to it, walked over and stuffed the jade box back in, tied a knot on the bag with the strap, and tied the place where there was a hole.
Turn back to the bed, hold your bag in one hand, rest with your head on the pillow and close your eyes.
As soon as the morning dawned, someone from the Lu family called the door and invited him to the dining room for breakfast.
At the dinner table, Long Zun pretended not to know anything, chatted affectionately with Li Jing and Li Houzhong, joking from time to time, and several people ate breakfast happily.
After eating breakfast and drinking tea after dinner, the three of them left the Lu family according to the previous arrangement, and Lu Ya escorted them out of Lanshan Town.
As soon as I walked out of Lanshan Town a few miles away, there was a junction, there were three roads leading to three directions, and one of the main roads in the middle led to Tiancheng County.
Long Zun, who had never been to Lanshan Town, naturally followed the two people of the Li family, and under their guidance, walked on the road to Tiancheng County in the middle.
The three of them were all cultivators, and their speed was naturally much faster than that of ordinary people, and they walked dozens of miles in the morning.
At noon, they passed by a pavilion on the side of the road, and several people came to the pavilion to rest, resting and eating some dry food they were carrying.
Sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion, eating the cake in his hand, and eating, Long Zun saw Li Jing secretly waving at Li Houzhong out of the corner of his eye.
He pretended not to see and tilted his head to the side.
Then I saw the two of them walking to the pavilion and muttering quietly, and when they turned around, Li Jing had an extra pot of wine in his hand.
Li Jing said with a smile: "Everyone sit down and drink, this is the old cellar that I asked from the second lady of the Lu family before we left from the Lu family." ”
In his hand, like a trick, he took out three cups and handed them to Long Zun and Li Houzhong, and he also took a wine glass himself.
Filled the three wine glasses respectively, raised the glass, and said: "More than ten miles ahead is Tiancheng County, we are about to break up, everyone have a toast." ”
"Here, come, come, cheers. Li Houzhong then raised the wine glass in his hand, and at the same time turned his head to beckon Long Zun to toast together.
Long Zun pretended not to know anything, raised the wine glass and slammed the wine glass with the two of them, and raised his head to drink the wine glass into his mouth.
With a twist of his wrist, the mouth of the wine glass was facing down, not a drop of wine dripped out, signaling himself to drink all the wine in the glass, wiping the wine stains on his mouth on his sleeve, and spitting the wine in his mouth on his sleeve.
"Good amount of wine, another drink. Li Jing picked up the wine jug and stepped forward, ready to fill the Longzun cup.
But seeing Long Zun wave his hand, he opened his mouth and was about to speak, when he collapsed to the ground with a grunt, and soon his mouth began to snore.
Li Jing turned her head and glanced at Li Houzhong, and Li Houzhong stepped forward.
Squatted down, gently pushed Long Zun's shoulder with his hand, and said in his mouth: "Wake up, wake up, just drink a glass of wine, why are you drunk." ”
Long Zun's body was pushed and shook several times, but he remained motionless and closed his eyes tightly, only the sound of snoring kept coming out.
"Don't shout, drink my secret medicine, and sleep like a dead pig. Li Jing put down the wine jug and glass in his hand, "Get up, let me find out where the elixir is." ”
When Li Houzhong heard this, he stood up from Long Zun's side and said, "Are you sure your nose didn't smell wrong? He really has an elixir on him, don't be mistaken." ”
"Don't worry, as long as the elixir appears within three meters of me, it will smell good. Li Jing walked over and took the lead in reaching for the bag on Long Zun's left hand.
Neither of them noticed that although Long Zun was snoring, his right hand was firmly pressed on his waist.
PS: In the past few days of the New Year, the update time may be unstable, so I apologize to everyone first. I wish you all a Happy New Year.
