Chapter III. The sword asked Beiyan 30

Mantuoluo also had another 'local name' in the Northern Yan Dynasty - Yangjinhua. As the name suggests, this plant is actually an exotic species; Moreover, this kind of flower also has a very important religious significance in the Mahayana Buddhism of Chanda. However, this very mysterious-sounding plant is not unfamiliar to Shen Gui, who was born in shamanism! In the ancient fragment of the "Shamanic Debate of Medicine", in fact, a long time is devoted to this 'natural anesthetic'.

The principle of this 'ecstasy smoke' is to use sun-dried mandala flowers, plus various auxiliary spices, to release smoke through dark combustion; because the formulas of various sects are strange, the effective speed of the finished ecstasy smoke is also different; but no matter how the trade-offs between spices and excipients, only mandala, the main raw material, can never be changed; Therefore, this also leads to the fact that no matter what the 'grade' of Ecstasy Smoke is, the formula is good or bad, there is a common disadvantage:

The smoke does not drift to a high place.

In fact, strictly speaking, this is not a disadvantage at all; Because most of the people who often use this kind of thing on the rivers and lakes are those who can't put it on the table; For example, the snitch who walks on the wall and burglary; There are also those flower thieves who are not tolerated by the good and evil factions of the rivers and lakes, as well as the 'one-way pass' who specializes in abducting women and children, and so on......

So even if the smoke from this anesthesia is not too high, it is enough for the family who are already asleep on the bed to fall into a deep coma.

Now, this thing is obviously useless to the 'gentleman on the beam' in the house.

After the ecstasy smoke is inhaled by the human body, the time to take effect is about half a pillar of incense. So, Shen Gui, who was lying on the beam, just climbed lightly to the top of the door, and listened to the breathing of everyone outside the door with bated breath...

Obviously, tonight's team of killers had a decent level of 'business', and after they finished blowing the smoke into the room, they carefully controlled the rhythm of their breathing, quietly and silently waiting for the target in the room to fall into a deep sleep, and at the same time waiting for the smoke in the room to lose its effectiveness.

Although the actor Shen Gui didn't drink much wine tonight, due to the limitation of the biological clock, he lay motionless on the beam at the door, still a little drowsy...... Suddenly, the breathing sound of everyone outside the door began to become rapid, and Shen Gui's ears, who were closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, also moved slightly......

The Nankang Hall where Shen Gui settled, although there are not many guests on weekdays; But as the years go by, there will inevitably be some minor problems. For example, in Shen Gui's guest room, when the door is pushed shut, there will always be a 'creak' sound. This kind of sound would not be noticeable at all if it were placed in normal times; But now it's the middle of the night, so this wooden door has an extra layer of 'alarm' function.

But Shen Gui found that after the door was slowly pushed open, there was no expected door sound......

In fact, there is no subtlety in this method of 'opening the door quietly'. All because the doors and windows of Huayu Continent are all wooden mortise and tenon structures; The reason why it makes a sound is also because of the fact that the wooden slide is affected by the force of falling and squeezing deformation over time; If you want to push the door into the room without making a sound, you can do it silently by pushing the door with some lifting force upwards......

However, it is such a simple 'skill', and it is absolutely impossible for those 'amateur snitches' who do not have the guidance of a famous teacher to know the mystery, not to mention that if the people outside are professional killers who come to 'mend knives', there will be no experts in sliding doors and picking locks!

Therefore, these 'killers' outside the door today can only have two identities: Jianghu people and carpenters.

When the last black-clad killer also entered the room; Shen Gui on the beam fell to the ground silently, and closed the door directly with his backhand...... This 'sleepy' little master obviously doesn't have that quiet 'leisure'......

As the two doors closed, a slightly harsh and dry sound also clearly echoed in everyone's ears......

"What people!"

When the leader heard the creaking sound and reflexively turned around, he realized that among the brothers, there was a young man who was 'not very social': this man was wearing a white middle coat, leaning against the door of the room, holding his arms with a hippie smile......

"I said you're sick, right? These words should be my words! What are you looking for me? ”

This person frowned in the face of Shen Gui, who looked like him, and his heart was also full of uneasiness and apprehension: People have clearly set a trap, and they have caught our brothers and other brothers in the bait......"

After a moment of silent thought, the leader simply took off the scarf with his backhand, revealing a featureless face; Then he pulled out a long sword from his waist with his backhand, and slashed Shen Gui twice viciously:

"My brothers don't want to embarrass you, and yesterday's killing of my junior brother can also be regarded as a misunderstanding, but ......"

Before the leader could say his next 'conditions', Shen Gui's eyes widened and he looked at the other party in disbelief:

"Your friendship with your dead ghost brother doesn't seem to be very good!"

The leader was choked by his words, and he slowed down for a long time before he remembered what he had just said......

"I'm waiting for my brother to come this time, just for your 'three-inch town dragon nail'! As long as you hand it over, we will turn around and leave, and our well water will not interfere with the river water......"

When Shen Gui first heard the 'Three Inch Town Dragon Nail', he recalled it seriously, and after thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly said as if he had suddenly opened his mind:

"It turns out that you have wasted so much energy, just want that 'coffin nail'? Tastes are a little too special, aren't they? Have you bought all the straw mats or something? ”

Shen Gui said cool words in his mouth, and under the vigilant gaze of these people, he walked to the bookshelf next to him; Then he reached out and took off a small coarse cloth bag, and shook it in the opposite eye:

"That's what you're talking about? This was originally a meeting gift for others, but I have a good relationship with them, so I am really embarrassed to take it out; And I've been throwing it on the bookshelf for two days, so why don't you steal it while I'm away? And if you don't come here, maybe I'll forget about it when I check out! ”

In fact, in Shen Gui's guest room, these 'killers' have infiltrated and searched not a lot of times, and they are even more diligent than he himself comes! But they didn't expect that such a 'treasure in the world', Shen Gui didn't carry it with him, he just wrapped it in a rag and threw it on the bookshelf casually!

The leader looked at the glittering golden coffin nail and swallowed heavily:

"Yes, that's it! After you give it to us, we'll go our separate ways! One of my brother's lives will be exchanged for a golden nail for you, brother, you earned it! ”

Shen Gui took advantage of the moonlight sprinkled through the window to carefully examine the nail again; It's a pity that apart from the 'bad luck' that came to his face, he didn't observe any subtleties......

"Seriously, brother, I'm not uncommon to this; Anyone you can say to me, as long as you can return my capital of five hundred taels of silver......"

"Wait! What do you mean to say...... This three-inch Zhenlong nail was 'bought' by you for money? ”

"That's right! The 500 taels of Huinan tickets were bought at a pawnshop not far away! If you like it, take the money yourself and go to the old court to buy it!" And just the color of your ecstasy smoke is not just five hundred taels! Why all the trouble? ”

"Are you talking about Wang Yutian? We've just searched his shop and there's no ......."

"What about others!"

"Naturally, I did it easily......"

"Then go down and bury him!"

As soon as Shen Gui heard the news that the old courtier had died, he immediately became really angry! He shook the thunder sword in his hand and went straight to the other party's throat......

"The 'faint move' in your hand just now has a bit of the flavor of the Taihua Flying Immortal Sword...... Are you a disciple of Xiyue Taihua? ”

With only one move, Shen Gui knocked down the opponent's long sword, and at the same time, his right hand also clasped the opponent's choked throat, and casually said his master's sect......

As soon as this person heard that the bottom was exposed, his heart immediately set off a storm!

It was clear that he hadn't even used half a move Taihua swordsmanship, but the other party was able to hurriedly exchange half a move in the dark night without seeing his five fingers, and he broke his own master's inheritance in one word...... It seems that this son not only has profound skills, but also has very experienced experience.

"What Xiyue Taihua...... Grandpa doesn't know! ”

"Yo? I didn't expect you to be a hard bone, huh? But since you are a famous teacher, you are not a good chivalrous person, why do you have to do these things of stealing chickens and dogs? ”

Just when Shen Gui became interested in this 'Xiyue traitor', among the seven people he was traveling with, a strong man in black walked out:

"What are you doing in a daze! It's all for Lao Tzu! If you don't get this dragon nail, none of you will survive! ”

"Yes...... Senior Brother Xu is still ......"

"Shut up! Isn't it worth it to die for him alone, in exchange for our seven lives? ”

Shen Gui tilted his head, looked at this 'Senior Brother Xu', and said with suspicion:

"Looks like I was wrong...... It's not just that you don't have a good relationship with your dead ghost brother...... It's the relationship between you people, it's not good! ”

After finishing speaking, Shen Gui shook the thunder short sword in his left hand, pointed at the strong man who boosted morale, and said:

"You take yourself too seriously, don't you? In this situation, is it up to you to decide who will die or who will live? Now grandpa, I officially announce: You seven faceless dogs are surrounded by me! ”
