I lamented in my heart, and suddenly a sense of powerlessness rose, but when I hesitated, I immediately lifted my spirits again, and said in my heart that even if I couldn't fight, what kind of things did I have to deal with in Fengyang Town, and didn't I get through it safely in the end?

Thinking of this, my mood suddenly improved a lot. When I looked through the miscellaneous items in Chen Bobu's bag, I found a small wooden plaque made of sandalwood, which was antique, and the patterns on it were very complicated, which made people feel dazzled. On the front of the wooden plaque is a carved statue of a god whose name I can't name, solemn, and above the head of the statue are two traditional characters: Zhengqian.

I've seen a lot of similar things in TV dramas, and some schools with a little history generally have their own identity tokens, some are jade, some are beads, and some are wooden cards. The wooden plaque in front of you should be an identity token, generally the front of this token will have the name of its own sect and some symbolic sudden or other things, and the back is engraved with the identity of the holder.

I turned the wooden sign over and looked at it, and sure enough, I found three words behind the wooden card: Chen Tianyang.

Chen Tianyang? Surname Chen, it seems that I guessed well, this wooden card is indeed a kind of sect token, the old man's sect should be the two words engraved on the front of the wooden card: Zhengqian, as for whether it is Zhengqianmen or Zhengqian, I don't know, anyway, no matter what it's called, I haven't heard it.

The Taoist priest told me that although the two sects of Wu and Dao were weakened in the new era, many of the once profound sects of the Great Gate were still preserved, but these former mystical sects were transformed in the new era, and under the unified coordination of the government, a special Taoist association was established, and the development of the sect was led by a person appointed by the state. In the eyes of ordinary people, it has also become an official organization, and some have even made it public, making their mountain gate a tourist attraction, and since then it has lost its mystery.

Although the Taoist Association was established, these disciplined sects still had a considerable amount of autonomy, they could recruit disciples, inherit incense, and teach the scriptures to the outside world, but only on the premise of not violating the law.

Chen Tianyang, that is, Uncle Chen, why did he come to Suoming Town? And he brought so many outfits, it seems that he also knows that the town is not ordinary, and he will have to ask him carefully when he wakes up.

This night was very lucky, there was no accident like yesterday, and because Uncle Chen's room was not facing the street, I didn't hear the movement of the corpses on the street this night.

Sister Chen was a woman after all, and she fell asleep at about two o'clock, so I found out that she didn't know about Uncle Chen's identity. At about four o'clock, the doctor woke up and replaced me, and when I woke up later, I was shocked to find that it was not yet dawn.

I don't know how long I've been asleep, but when I look at my watch, it's past nine o'clock in the morning, and I've slept for five hours. But why is it still not bright?

Sister Chen was not in the room, and the doctor was standing in front of the window with his hands crossed, the bedcloth that had been removed from the window, and he was looking out through the hollow window.

I got up and went to greet him and asked him what he was looking at, and the doctor pointed out the still dark window and said, "It's getting late." ”

"Well, it was already getting bright at this time yesterday, but today ......"

I looked at the night, which was still so dark that I couldn't see my fingers, and my heart became more and more uneasy.

……

Sister Chen had already woken up at eight o'clock, and because she was worried about the safety of the others, she just got up and went out.

In an atmosphere of depression and uneasiness, we waited for another hour, and just when I thought that the sky might not be bright again, at half past ten, the long-lost light finally appeared, and illuminated the entire ancient town in just half an hour. The moment I saw the light, I almost cried with emotion.

The shopkeeper no longer lies in the comfortable chaise longue behind the counter all day as before, except for the time when the food is delivered, he is no longer seen, as if he is just a food delivery person, and we are the owners of this inn.

After lunch, Sister Yang began to assign search tasks, I thought that these people would have a strong sense of resistance, at least I should ask her for an explanation, but surprisingly, everyone was silent, and no one had any opinion on the tasks assigned by Sister Yang, it seems that she had done ideological work on the rest of the people before dawn in the morning, and I don't know how she told those people.

Among the remaining thirteen people, Xiao Li was arranged to stay in the inn to take care of Uncle Chen, and was responsible for decocting and feeding the medicine on time. The remaining twelve people in groups of three, with the inn as the center to look out, after finding clues, you can't act rashly, write down the location, and count the results after returning to the inn, and confirm them one by one the next day, everyone must return to the inn before dark.

I was with the doctor and Loy, so we naturally got together. After leaving the inn, we had no clue at all, so we could only wander around, and it was impossible to find clues like this, and after walking for more than an hour, we came to the noodle stall that poisoned us.

When I saw the noodle stall, I suddenly remembered the disgusting bugs that I vomited that day, and I couldn't help but churn in my stomach again, and I almost vomited out what I had eaten in the morning. I peeked at him, and saw that he looked as usual, and felt a little strange, with his level of cleanliness, he should be more mindful of the disgusting things that he ate into his stomach, why was he so calm at this time.

However, when I saw that the corners of his eyes were twitching unnaturally, I couldn't help but laugh, and even the nausea in my chest was diluted a lot.

The business of the noodle stall was still deserted, there was not a single customer, and the owner was still sluggish and did not react at all. The only difference is that the last time we saw him, he stared blankly at the floor, and now, instead of looking at the sky, the blue on his face has faded and become a paper-white color, and he looks like a dead man.

When I saw the boss, I was angry and pushed the doctor: "Hey, doctor, do you want to go up and beat him up, and ask him why he poisoned us." ”

The doctor gave me a faint look, and although he didn't say anything, I could sense the murderous look in his eyes.

Luo Yi hurriedly stopped at this time: "Wait, you two have a lot of brains, the boss is not a normal person at first glance, you still go to provoke him, be careful of something." ”

I patted Luo Yi and said, "It's okay, you don't know how powerful the doctor is, don't look at the boss who looks very strong, I'm afraid he can't survive two seconds under the doctor's hands, you see that there are so few people around here, we see the opportunity to beat him, ask the reason for poisoning us, and then immediately smear oil on the soles of his feet, he just can't take us no matter how strange he is." ”

Luo Yi opened his mouth wide and looked at us in surprise, "Oh my God, I thought you were just talking about it, you really planned to beat him up?" ”

I smiled: "Don't worry, it's absolutely fine, we'll pretend to eat noodles later, and then when there is no one on the street, give him a surprise attack, maybe we can ask about the weirdness of the town by the way, and find a way out." ”

Luo Yi looked at me incredulously, then at the doctor, and found that even the doctor who had always been mature and steady did not object, she suddenly didn't know what to say, thought about it, and then asked: "Your plan is feasible, but isn't it poisonous in that side?" You still want to vomit worms again, I'll tell you first, the yellow charm from last time has been used up, if something happens this time, you can bear it yourself. ”

As soon as Luo Yi finished speaking, the faces of me and the doctor turned green, this girl, which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned, the last thing I want to hear now is the last time I ate insects, she is good, and she specially mentioned it. Of course, I can't eat that kind of noodles again, and Luo Yi didn't have nothing to do after eating noodles last time, so this time I plan to just order a bowl and let Luo Yi eat alone, and we will watch from the sidelines, and then wait for the opportunity.

Listening to my plan, Luo Yi's pretty little face suddenly sank, staring at us with cannibalistic eyes, and I felt a chill down my spine.

Eventually, I had to change my plans, and the three of us sat down at the stall, and I kept staring at the boss to see how he would react if he found out that we hadn't been poisoned. However, to my disappointment, he was still as unaware of our presence as before, and I could only cough lightly before he noticed us.

My eyes kept on his face, but his expression didn't change at all when he saw us, and he still looked at us blankly, and this time he didn't even have a surprised expression. Immediately after, he mechanically opened the soup pot, underneath, filled the bowl, put the seasoning, and finally brought it to us. The noodles were still exactly the same as before, and after he finished the noodles, he mechanically returned to the stall and continued to look at the sky in a daze.

Looking at the noodles in the bowl, I seemed to see a bowl of disgusting centipedes wriggling, and I almost didn't spit it out. The doctor's face was also very ugly, and the three of them picked up chopsticks and rummaged through the bowl, but they just didn't eat, but fortunately, the boss was in a daze and didn't look at us at all.

After waiting like this for a while, we finally waited for a very good opportunity to play the black hand, there was no one on the streets on the left and right, I glanced at the doctor, and he suddenly stood up, like a sharp arrow off the string, and rushed to the side of the stall owner, clasped his throat with his hand, and then a very beautiful buckle fell, and the stall owner was knocked to the ground.

Luo Yi and I also rushed forward, thinking that this guy would resist fiercely, but I didn't expect him to still stare at the sky with blank eyes, as if we were not as good as a ball of air in his eyes.

This surprised me very much, and I was about to ask questions, but was stopped by the doctor: "Wait a minute, have you forgotten the advice of the old man in the coffin shop?" ”

When I thought about it, I was a little frustrated, and I couldn't talk, so wouldn't I be able to ask anything?

The person was also beaten, and the anger came out, and the boss didn't react at all, and we suddenly lost interest in revenge, and got up and were about to slip away, but our eyes suddenly swept to the big soup pot on the stove. It feels strange, it's not that there is anything strange about the pot, but that there is something wrong with the stove, and there is no fire in the stove at all.

There was no fire, so how did he cook the noodles just now? You know, the noodles that were brought to us just now were steaming. Curiosity drove me to open the lid of the soup pot, and the heat with a rich fragrance suddenly rose, and I couldn't help but intoxicate my nose, and said that it was a fragrant soup, I don't know what it was made of.

Thinking about it, I leaned over to see the clues in the pot, but after just one look, I couldn't help but vomit.

Doctor Luo Yi didn't know why, but he also came up to take a look, and the faces of the two people changed at the same time, and they all retched.

I saw that the ingredients for boiling soup in the soup pot were human corpses with a small amount of residual meat!

After vomiting, I went crazy and turned around and punched the stall owner who was lying on the ground, and the blackness of my hand made me shudder when I thought about it afterwards, but at this moment, I was completely crazy.

The noodle stall owner took a few kicks in my face, it was swollen, and there were blood stains spilling from the corners of his mouth and nostrils, but he still didn't realize it, and he didn't react at all.

Punching a dead object that didn't respond was no different than punching a tree, and even though I was furious in my heart, I stopped. Although the doctor didn't move, his face was gloomy, and he raised his foot and kicked over the soup pot, and suddenly the whole pot of soup spilled out, including the corpse inside, which I don't know how long it had been boiled.

After the doctor kicked over the soup pot, the noodle stall owner, who had never reacted to him no matter how we beat him, suddenly went crazy, his stiff and miserable white face suddenly distorted, and from time to time a black qi appeared, revealing a fierce and violent appearance. I didn't know how he suddenly rolled over and stood up in a few tenths of a second, and how he grabbed my neck, anyway, by the time I reacted, his cold hand had already choked my neck, and the force was terrifying, but in an instant, I felt that my neck was on a tendency to break.

The doctor and Luo Yi immediately came to help, the doctor went to break his fingers, Luo Yi kept pushing his body, trying to push him away, but it was useless, the noodle stall owner was like a pillar nailed to the bluestone, which could not be shaken at all.

On the other hand, the doctor's strength had been mentioned before, but at this time, he couldn't even let the stall owner's fingers loosen a bit. Soon, my eyes began to darken, and I felt that my head was about to explode, and at this moment, Luo Yi suddenly shouted, and a quaint little bell appeared in his hand, and shook it quickly towards the noodle stall owner.

Jingle bells, jingle bells......

The crisp bell rang, and I felt the hand that was holding my throat loosen a little, and then I heard a furious roar, and then a huge force grabbed my neck and threw me away, until I hit the outside of the wooden building on the side of the street.

The pain of the severe impact was accompanied by a lack of oxygen to my brain, which made my brain unable to think, and I fell to the ground and instinctively gasped for breath, at which point the doctor rushed and picked me up and ran. It was only then that my mind became clearer, and before I could understand what was going on, I turned my head and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Behind us, a whole street was densely packed with pale people, with fierce and angry expressions, chasing us frantically, and if they were caught, I had no doubt that they would tear us apart on the spot.
