Chapter 4005: Contest

Seeing the man in the cloak with a painful look on his face, the people in the audience shouted, "Drink quickly!" Drink holy water! ”

However, the cloaked man was slow to drink the holy water.

This made the people in the audience puzzled and talked about it one after another.

"No, holy water really doesn't have divine power, right?"

"I think there's a good chance that the holy water is fake!"

"Impossible! How could the holy water of the goddess not have divine power?! Drink it, holy water has divine power! ”

There are those who doubt, there are those who are noncommittal, and there are those who blindly obey and urge the man in the cloak to drink quickly.

Seeing this, the cloaked man's subordinates who were mixed in the crowd couldn't help but mess around, and anxiously urged the cloaked man to drink the holy water with his eyes.

Receiving the eyes of his subordinates, the man in the cloak secretly scolded stupidity, if he drank the holy water now, I am afraid that he would be killed on the spot!

Enduring the severe pain, the man in the cloak looked at the man in white fiercely, and roared: "You also took poison, why are you okay?!" ”

The man in white still looked indifferent and leisurely, and said with a smile: "Of course, it's because your skills are not as good as others, and your internal strength is not deep and strong enough, so you can't suppress the toxicity." ”

He smacked his tongue, stroked his dusty sleeves, and gloated: "Don't you firmly believe that holy water can live the dead with flesh and bones, why don't you hurry up and drink the holy water to detoxify?" Or do you want to maximize the effect of the holy water, and wait for the poison to die, and then drink the holy water to bring the dead back to life? I have to say, you are really dedicated. ”

"You ——!" The man in the cloak was so angry that he shot directly, but as soon as he threw a punch, the pain in his body suddenly intensified. He made his limbs spasm and fell to the ground.

"I advise you not to get angry, otherwise the faster the poison will attack." The man in white easily avoided it. Said lightly.

The man in the cloak stood up strongly, panting and whispering: "Brother Tai is very skilled, I don't know which noble person he is serving?" If the brother does not dislike it, the younger brother can introduce you to a master worth following. ”

There was an obvious gesture of goodwill in the words.

The man in white smiled and said, "Save your worries, do you think I look like a person who works hard for others?" I know very well who your master is, and even when your master is born and when he dies. I know what I've been through in my life. ”

"What do you mean?!" The man in the cloak looked terrified.

"It's literal." The man in white raised his eyebrows, and then his tone changed. Awe-inspiring said: "To drink or not to drink, you should be refreshed, don't waste everyone's time." ”

The audience echoed: "That's it, you drink it!" ”

Seeing that the man in the cloak refused to drink the holy water. His men guessed a little bit of why. This situation of not being able to enter and retreat made a group of people feel chills, and they subconsciously looked at a certain carriage not far away.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Qing's face was gloomy, he expected that someone would come out to make trouble, but he didn't expect it to be such a hard bone, and he couldn't think of a way to solve the current situation.

If the man in the cloak drank the holy water, he would surely die on the spot. It is directly proved that the holy water has no divine power, and the man in the cloak does not drink it. It will arouse the suspicion of the world, which is equivalent to indirectly admitting that the holy water has no divine power, and whether you drink it or not, the lie that the holy water is a divine object will be exposed, which is for him, it is to cut off an arm, and the loss is incalculable.

The problem is that the cloaked man he sent is one of his most trusted men, equivalent to his right-hand man, but now he is poisoned, and if there is no antidote, he will directly lose a general.

A battle that he thought he would win, but in the end he lost his wife and soldiers, while admiring the clever strategy of the man in white, Zhao Qing gritted his teeth with hatred, and the bone fan in his hand was pinched and clicked by him, this invisible contest, he lost completely!

Under the anger, Zhao Qing did not lose his mind, he had no choice, and now he could only choose to save the lives of his subordinates.

glanced at the woman beside her, the woman understood, and was about to speak, but was preempted by a crisp voice.

"This cloak gentleman refuses to drink the holy water for a long time, I think it is because the holy water has no antidote effect, so that means the holy water is not a universal divine object, since there is already an answer, there is no need to stalemate any longer, Mr. White still gave the antidote to this cloak gentleman, if it hurts his life, it will not be good."

It was An Ruoxian who spoke, she also knew that the situation was irretrievable, thinking that even if she had to lose, Yayao would recover some losses.

Her purpose is threefold.

First, she wanted to get rid of suspicion, she denied that the holy water was a sacred object, so no one would associate her with the holy water goddess in the future, because no one would have thought that she would fold her wings; Second, she thought that if she could keep Zhao Jing's subordinates, Zhao Jing would definitely be doubly good to her, and she would do her best to help her in the future, just like she thought, even if the holy water is no longer a divine object and the goddess is no longer believed, she can still make a comeback, and she doesn't mind selling her favor to Zhao Jing; Third, she felt a little guilty about Zhao Jing and wanted to make up for him.

And her thoughts coincided with Zhao Qing.

Raising his eyebrows in surprise, Zhao Qing smiled and hooked the corners of his lips, seeing that his mood was improving, the woman next to him hurriedly said: "It is worthy of being the person that the master has taken a fancy to, Miss An Shi is indeed different from ordinary women." ”

Zhao Qing smiled silently, and his eyes became deeper and deeper.

Surprised An Ruolan, she muttered to herself: "I can't guess the intention of An Ruoxian's move, does she want to get rid of the relationship, or do she want to set herself on fire?" ”

An Ruoxian is now standing up to help the cloaked man speak, which will undoubtedly make people doubt the relationship between them, but she also denied the holy water maintained by the cloaked man, which makes the two look like they don't look like a gang, could it be said that An Ruoxian is really just kind-hearted and can't bear to see someone innocently killed?

An Ruolan couldn't figure it out for a while.

Hearing this, Bai Ling was puzzled: "Miss, what are you talking about?" I don't understand a word. ”

An Ruolan only shook her head in annoyance.

At the same time, An Ruoxian was being baptized by the eyes of everyone in the Hou Mansion, and her words obviously made the old lady unhappy.

Displeasure drooped her eyelids, and the old lady pursed the corners of her mouth and said: "I didn't know that Sister Xian'er was so kind-hearted, and she actually repaid her grievances with virtue and pleaded for the person who was trapped in the Hou Mansion in crisis." ”

An Ruoxian was already frightened by the previous thrill and was covered in a cold sweat, and she was even more cold sweat when she heard the words. immediately fell to his knees and explained urgently: "Grandmother misunderstood, granddaughter didn't know that person was the murderer of the Hou Mansion!" ”

The third lady said coldly: "That person is so protective of holy water. Do you dare to say that you didn't think that he had something to do with the people who went to the Hou Mansion to make trouble before? ”

"I really don't know, I just can't bear to let someone die innocently, and I don't want someone to die in front of the Hou Mansion and damage the reputation of the Hou Mansion!" An Ruoxian cried, she could only resist death and deny it.

She was secretly annoyed that she had neglected this stubble.

The old lady glanced at her lightly and said, "It is worthy of being taught by the Meng family." is indeed kind and generous, I hope what you say is true. Hurry up, no one will say that my An family is ruthless and vicious. Not only does it not save people, but it also punishes those who are kind-hearted and want to save people. ”

After saying that, he turned his head, and everyone also retracted their gaze.

An Ruoxian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up. She knew she had passed.

Meanwhile. The man in the cloak on the stage also softened.

He knew that An Ruoxian was the one who provided the holy water for her master, and now that she had opened such a mouth, he would naturally not be stupid enough to resist again, and immediately said: "I admit that the holy water is not a divine object, nor can it bring the dead back to life, let alone cure all kinds of poisons, it is just a precious medicinal herb that has the miraculous effect of curing diseases and healing wounds." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar. The people, who believed in the goddess, wept on the spot, shouting that they had been deceived. There are even faints of sadness.

For a long time before, because of proper publicity, some people had long regarded the goddess and holy water as spiritual pillars, but now that the pillars suddenly collapsed, they naturally couldn't accept it.

For a while, there were constant shouts and cries in front of the Hou Mansion.

The man in the cloak was not in the mood to pay attention to the indignation of the people, he stretched out his hand to the man in white: "Now that the truth is revealed, please also ask Brother Tai to hand over the antidote." ”

But he didn't want the man in white to raise his eyebrows and smile, and said, "When did I say that this poison has a solution, and I have an antidote?" ”

"What did you say?!" The cloaked man's face changed suddenly, and under the urgency of the attack, the burning sensation in his body became even stronger.

"Don't get excited, or you'll just die faster." The man in white shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your business is done, and my business has not been resolved." ”

He turned to face the audience, shook the porcelain vase in his hand, and said, "This cloak brother is right, this is indeed not holy water, it can barely be regarded as a medicine, but this medicine can not only cure diseases and heal injuries, but also kill invisibly." ”

The people in the audience were in a commotion again, and asked anxiously: "How do you say this?!" ”

The man in white raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I'll show you a demonstration in the next place." ”

With his movements, everyone in the audience suddenly felt a weight on their shoulders, and immediately their hearts swelled with awe, and they were silenced.

Seeing that everyone was instantly quiet, the man in the cloak was startled, and fear rose in his heart.

In front of everyone, the man in white took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and a celadon vial, and poured the thick green liquid in the bottle onto the handkerchief.

With a loud bang, the venom-stained part of the handkerchief turned yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally a large hole was broken.

The people in the audience gasped.

The man in white said: "This bottle contains a corrosive venom, and everyone has seen the consequences of the handkerchief stained with venom, so I won't say more." ”

Then he turned to Mrs. An and arched his hand, "Can you ask Mrs. An to borrow a basin of water?" ”

"Why not?" The old lady looked awe-inspiring, and waved her hand to signal Mama Song to prepare.

"Thank you, Mrs. An." The man in white thanked him respectfully.

An Ruoxian was anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

She guessed what the man in white was going to do next, and she was so anxious that she yelled in her heart not to, but she didn't dare to speak again, the recklessness just now had already made her grandmother unhappy, if she spoke again, she would be suspected of not saying anything, and she would have no place in the Hou Mansion in the future.

She could only watch as things went in the direction she least wanted.

She hated it so much that she didn't feel it when her nails pierced her palms.

Qing Shui was quickly brought over, and the subordinates of the Hou Mansion also thoughtfully brought a stool and sent it to the stage together.

The man in white thanked him again, poured a drop of the venom into the basin, and threw the handkerchief inside.

After a while, he picked up the handkerchief, and this time the white cotton handkerchief was unharmed, and everyone knew that it was because the venom had been diluted with water, so the handkerchief was not corroded.

In the midst of the discussion, the man in white smiled and said, "Next, everyone has to open their eyes wide." He opened the small porcelain vase containing the holy water.

"Not good!" The man in the cloak screamed, he thought that the man in white was just trying to expose the lie that the holy water was a divine object, but he didn't expect that his real purpose was to destroy the holy water!

I didn't care about the poison in my body, so I immediately shouted: "Stop!" rushed up to stop it, but he didn't even touch the corner of the man in white, and he was rebounded by a wave of true qi, and fell to the stage and spit black blood.

The onlookers were frightened and retreated.

Seeing this, Zhao Qing's eyes sank, and he shouted: "Stop him!" ”

Even if it can't be used as a sacred object, holy water can't be reduced to a poison!

As the words fell, a group of men in black appeared out of thin air, surrounding the men in white.

The people in the audience had never seen this meeting, and they were immediately frightened and fled in all directions, and the young lady and son in the carriage didn't care about watching the show, and told the coachman to leave in a hurry, so as not to be affected by the pond fish.

The fleeing people alarmed the horses, and Bai Ling endured shaking and said to An Ruolan: "Madam, let's leave quickly, the sword has no eyes, it will not be good if it is affected!" ”

"But......" An Ruolan looked at the man in white on the stage, not wanting to leave at all.

She had a hunch that if she missed this time, she would never be able to figure out the identity of the man in white.

Before the words were finished, the carriage was hit by a carriage passing by, and the master and servant let out a low cry, and finally stabilized their bodies, but fortunately they were not injured.

Bai Ling became more and more worried, and hurriedly persuaded: "Madam, let's go!" If something happens to you, my uncle won't be able to spare us! ”

An Ruolan gritted her teeth, but she was still reluctant to give up this opportunity, and instructed the coachman: "Drive the car to the alley next to you first, and then drive it out when everyone is gone." ”

"Madame!" Bailing was so anxious that she wanted to cry, but seeing that her master's expression was firm, she had no choice but to accompany her to mess around.

After a period of chaos, only a few carriages remained in place, and the bustle turned into depression and desertion in an instant.

The Murong clan also wanted to invite Mrs. An back to the house, but the old lady just waved her hand and said, "How can there be a reason to watch a play without watching it, I don't want to feel uncomfortable in the future." ”

As a last resort, everyone in the Hou Mansion had to endure the fear of staying with her.

Glancing at the man in black who came out, the man in white didn't panic at all, although the audience was almost gone, he still poured the holy water into the basin in a hurry.

I saw that the basin that had not reacted just now instantly rose a puff of yellow smoke, and the smoke smelled of burning, and you didn't need to look at it to know what the handkerchief in the basin had become.

Seeing this scene, the eyes of those who remained in the same place were full of horror.

"Do it!" The black-clothed man at the head shouted lowly, and he was about to attack him in groups.

"Arrest them all!" A loud shout rose to the ground, followed by a group of guards with spears and armor, surrounding the platform in front of the Hou Mansion.

"What's going on?!" This is the voice of all those present.

The sudden appearance of the army shocked everyone.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and everyone followed the sound, and they were shocked again.

How could it be him?! (To be continued......)
