Chapter 498: Self-Explosion
This guy obviously didn't know what I was capable of, and after being hit by the white light, he screamed and fell backwards, and only looked at me with a frightened face when he retreated.
I don't know where it got its confidence, but it thought it could deal with me, so Shi Shiran ran ran to ask for the bag of powder.
I put away the white light of my sword, stared at the man, and asked, "How is it?" Do you want to compete with me? β
The man's eyes flickered, and he wanted to leave but was reluctant to keep the contents of the bag, and he began to hesitate for a while.
"Hmph, even if you want to leave now, you can't go!" I said with a sneer.
The reason why I said this was because Sun Longtou's subordinates had received the news that they had appeared around the mayor's house, and many people slowly surrounded the ghost from a distance, and it was now difficult to fly even if it had wings.
The other party didn't speak, looked back at those Cloud Gate disciples, turned his head and stared at me deadly, his eyes full of hatred.
It makes me a little strange, it feels like it has some deep hatred with me, but I don't know who this ghost is.
"It's better to do this, I'll give you a chance to get out of the way, as long as you tell me where Yunwan is." I said lightly.
"Huh."
A cold voice came, and the guy suddenly changed his tone: "Do you think I'll believe you?" β
As soon as the words fell, this man's ten fingers became sharp, and they stabbed at me with a cold light!
I couldn't help but sneer, this guy looks like he's going to fight me hard, but unfortunately my dagger has its own suppression of undead creatures, and it can't beat me at all.
But because I still wanted to get valuable clues from it, I tried not to hurt it and fought it for two rounds.
I didn't use the white light on the dagger, but the other party realized that it couldn't hit me at all.
"Bang!"
A white cloud of smoke came out of the man's body, and I immediately shouted, "That guy is going to run!" Can't let it get its way! β
Everyone was on guard, and they watched as a white ghost emerged from the madman's body and began to rush left and right to escape!
But there are a lot of us, and all of us are cultivators, and they are not afraid of ghosts at all, and countless runes hit it, so that it has no place to hide at all!
There was a constant scream, it was from the ghost after it was hit, and I stood there without using my hands, watching it be attacked, and it looked like it would soon be unable to hold on!
I didn't want it to be wiped out like that, so I could pry its mouth open and try to ask for something of value, so as soon as I stretched out my hand, the attack stopped.
The ghost's shadow had become a little dim, and it seemed that it was badly injured, and if it had been in a few runes, it would have disappeared, so I stepped forward, looked at it and asked, "How is it?" To say or not to say? β
The ghost is what it really is, but I've never seen this person before, and I don't know why it hates me so much.
"Well, I'll tell you, come near." The ghost whispered.
I was suddenly alert, and I generally said that I basically wanted to break the net, right?
But I didn't stop, I took a few steps to it.
"Say it."
The ghost's originally dim shadow suddenly began to glow, and Su Che in the distance exclaimed: "Ginger tea, retreat!" β
Of course I know what's going on, that guy really has a certain death heart, and wants to die with me by blowing himself up, but it's a pity that his idea is too naΓ―ve, am I such a gullible person?
In the moment of the white light, my people had already retreated rapidly, and in an instant, they retreated to Su Che's side.
At this moment, there was a loud bang, and the ghost disappeared, and the shock wave of the explosion almost shattered all the glass of Mayor Li's house!
The dust cleared, there was nothing left on the ground, and the madman fell to the ground, scarred, but still unconscious.
"This ghost is really a dead eye, what can he do if he tells the truth?" Sun Longtou shook his head and sighed, and ordered his men to carry the madman away and find a place to wake him up.
There were only a few of us left in the small courtyard, I turned my head to look and found Su Che standing with the bag of meteorite powder, it turned out that he didn't forget to bring that thing with him when he came out, so as not to fall for Yun Wan's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
And Li Lin stood there with a natural expression, as if he hadn't seen everything that had just happened.
"Let's go back to the room." I was a little disappointed that I thought I would get valuable clues, but I didn't find anything.
A few people entered the house, and after sitting down, I looked at Li Lin: "You are the only one who can provide useful information now, can you tell me where the poison came from?" β
His expression was a little solemn, and he sighed and said: "It seems that it is not possible not to say it, I thought that the madman would be the scapegoat, but I didn't expect that I would still have to say it, after I finished speaking, I guess I won't live long." β
"What do you mean?" I asked, a little inexplicably.
Li Lin explained: "The poison was given to me by a woman, and when she gave it to me, she told me that if the mayor suddenly had an accident one day and led other people to break into the crater, let me get rid of the mayor." β
"Oh? What good did that woman promise you? I asked him curiously.
"It's not good, it's just that I knew the situation in the town before, and I had to reorganize it, so I agreed to that woman." Li Lin explained.
As I've said before, he's had enough of this life a long time ago, but he didn't dare to resist because of the monster and the mayor's obscenity, but if he got an opportunity to overthrow the mayor, he wouldn't miss it.
"But what's the matter with that madman? Why is he also poisonous? I couldn't help but ask.
Li Lin shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation, but it is conceivable that the woman should think that it is not enough for me to supervise the mayor alone, so she found another person, right?" β
This is in line with Yun Wan's character, so I nodded and said, "Okay, got it." β
"Can I go back now? Or do you want to cure me for my sins? Li Lin looked at us all and said.
I hesitated, shook my head, and said you go back, it's none of your business.
Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief, got up and left the house, and went home.
When it comes to punishment, he did participate in the killing of Mayor Li, but it was the madman who really killed Mayor Li, so I think it's better to forget it.
After all, this person is one of the few surviving young people in the town, and he will be expected to lead everyone in the construction and restoration of this place in the future.
After Li Lin left, I turned my head to look at Sun Longtou and Master Zhao: "You guys also go back to rest, tomorrow we will finish the matter, let's leave this place together." β
The two nodded, got up and were about to leave, but Master Zhao said to me before leaving: "Deputy Sect Master, the bag you and Mr. Su found, the contents are very valuable, please take care of it, I believe that the enemy will still covet these things, and will find a way to steal them when the time comes." β
I was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What?" Do you know this thing? β
Master Zhao smiled, sat down again and said, "I don't know each other, but I inquired about it today, and with some rumors I heard before, I guess this thing may be the colorful stone powder in ancient legends." β
"Rainbow Stones?" I asked suspiciously.
Master Zhao nodded, and said that he believed that the deputy master must know the story of Nuwa mending the sky, right? In ancient times, Nuwa refined the seven-colored divine stone to make up for the sky.
Of course, everyone knows this, so I quickly nodded.
As a result, he told us that the meteorite that fell in the town may have been part of the Rainbow Stone, but why it later turned into powder is not very clear.
After listening to this, I was stunned, and my heart said no, the legendary thing appeared? That stone is a legendary treasure from ancient times.
"Do you know what it's good for?" I hurriedly asked.
But Master Zhao shook his head and said regretfully: "I only know that this thing can make up for the sky, but I don't know if it has other effects, but please don't worry, keep this thing for the time being, and when I find some clues, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible." β
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Master Zhao." I nodded.
After sending the two of them away, only me and Su Che were left in the room, and he said to me: "It seems that this Master Zhao is well-informed and a rare talent." β
I nodded: "Yes, I want to dig him out of Sun Longtou's hands, if it weren't for him this time, I guess we would have had a lot of brains." β
Su Che smiled and said that it was impossible for Sun Longtou to agree, unless you used the power of the deputy sect master to force him, it might be useful.
I shook my head and smiled bitterly, I can't do this kind of thing, anyway, now that communication is so developed, everyone can contact each other by phone, and you don't have to bring people with you.
The night passed, and after the sun rose the next day, Su Che and I walked out of Mayor Li's house in the morning light.
In the center of the town, a funeral is being held, after all, this time the matter is very big, in order to erase the shadow of the monster in the hearts of the residents over the years as soon as possible, Li Lin and Sun Longtou have decided to deal with the burial as soon as possible, so that everyone can start a new life.
At the funeral that Su Che and I attended, with the help of the disciples of the Cloud Gate, the ashes of all the dead were buried on the gentle slope outside the town, and then Sun Longtou comforted the living residents.
With all that out of the way, it's time for us to leave.
Li Lin led the remaining men, women, and children of the town to the exit of the town, and as we left, these people knelt together.
I was a little helpless, but I didn't know what to say, so I had to wave goodbye to them and embark on a new journey with Su Che.
After leaving the town, we also separated from Sun Longtou, and he repeatedly invited us to sit on the branch side, but Su Che and I still had something to deal with, so we politely declined his invitation, and at the same time exchanged phone numbers with Master Zhao, and once we found out, he would notify us as soon as possible.
Back in the small town, Su Che and I took out the piece of paper and studied the next goal, hoping to find Yunwan this time!
