Chapter 443: Haunted House Anecdotes
"The old man's life is meaningless, and now I brought you here, I just want to know what the court is like now, but I have seen the county lord...... Wang Zixuan lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "Now that I have seen the county lord, I can probably know what the situation is in the court." β
"The Wang family has never been able to turn without me, and the Queen Mother doesn't have to be alone, my life and death have long been meaningless."
Chu Nian frowned, Tao Jinyan was holding a half-human-high scroll and walked in quickly, seeing the two people who seemed to be indifferent to the earthquake, Tao Jinyan kicked the cell door in a hurry, "What are you looking at?" Come on! It'll be too late later! β
At this time, Chu Nian came back to his senses, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then looked at Wang Zixuan with a pair of watery eyes, "My lord, don't think that you can stop after you die for all the sins you have committed in this life, I think that adults should still live, and it will be better to have completely experienced the pain that adults have inflicted on everyone." β
She narrowed her eyes, "If you die so easily, I'm too sorry for those loyal people who have been killed by you, Tao Jinyan, arrest him, you must not let him die inside." β
Tao Jinyan had already prepared, holding the scroll in one hand, and grabbing Tao Jinyan, who was looking at Chu Nian in surprise with the other hand, turned around and hurriedly ran towards the entrance of the cave, Chu Nian saw Wang Zixuan, who was hesitating but was vigorously pulled out by Tao Jinyan, his eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately took out the porcelain bottle from the cuff, uncorked it, and fled towards the entrance with the backs of the two people.
At this moment, the entire cave was almost a mess of porridge, Tao Jinyan ran in front of him with a scroll, and a steady stream of monsters rushed up on both sides, and there were countless chasing soldiers behind him, the speed of these monsters was very fast, but Chu Nian just sprinkled the potion in his hand around, and saw that the bodies supported by the black robes of those monsters gradually withered, and they fell to the ground.
Chu Nian then took the time to look at the scroll in Tao Jinyan's hand, "What is this?" β
Tao Jinyan glanced at her sideways, lowered his head and looked at the scroll in his arms, his face seemed to be a little pale, "It seems to be a complete exercise, if you have this, send it back to the old men of the Tao family to study and study it carefully, and we may be able to come up with some ways to deal with the enemy in the future, after all, those monsters are not easy to deal with, if there are too many of them, we still have to prepare a way to deal with them earlier." β
Chu Nian pursed his red lips and didn't speak, at this time, Wang Zixuan on the side spoke: "This thing, don't let normal people practice well, otherwise, I'm afraid that it will harm others, besides, the monster in this cave seems to be controlled by someone, if you practice this thing, you will also be controlled by that secret thing, and it will be difficult to catch fire in the backyard when the time comes." β
Chu Nian was not surprised that Wang Zixuan could figure out the cause and effect, Wang Zixuan was not a stupid person, but there was a queen mother who liked to give orders, and after all these years, he had not been able to turn over.
Hearing this, Tao Jinyan nodded, "I know, I will tell them to just study, not to cultivate." β
And Chu Nian was thinking deeply about what Wang Zixuan meant, and there was no need for Wang Zixuan to lie to them at the moment, let alone in this kind of thing, but if there was really someone controlling these monsters, that one person controlled a large group of monsters...... Chu Nian frowned, this person's ability is not small.
At this stall, the three of them had already seen the door, Chu Nian simply sprinkled the bottle of medicinal juice on the ground behind him, and the monster who caught up suddenly stopped with fear, and the vibration of the cave became more and more intense, and after a while, the wall appeared a slight crack.
The three of them stood at the entrance of the cave for a while and looked at those monsters who were afraid of potions, Chu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It seems that this cave is about to collapse, what kind of basket did you stab?" β
Tao Jinyan held the scroll and watched the cave gradually collapse, those monsters who did not dare to rush out and the monsters who lost their strength due to the effectiveness of the potion were gradually buried by the cave, he shrugged innocently, "I just took this thing out, and it became like this." β
A special mechanism was set up for this scroll? Chu Nian glanced sideways at the scroll that was grabbed by Tao Jinyan in his arms, and the word "fire" seemed to be faintly printed on the outside of this scroll, but the handwriting was relatively light, if it weren't for the scorching sun, it really wouldn't be able to shine out.
At this time, I just made time to see Wang Zixuan, who was becoming more and more embarrassed, it seemed that because of the running, the clothes on Wang Zixuan's body seemed to be a little more ragged, and his old face was pale, and he didn't play well.
And Tao Jinyan's complexion was a little unsightly, there was no trace of blood in the paleness, a pair of thin lips seemed to be purple, Chu Nian frowned and said, "What's wrong with you?" β
Hearing Chu Nian's words, Tao Jinyan seemed to be dazed, and after a while, he squeezed out a smile and said: "It's okay, it's probably cold inside, my body can't stand it, even today I'm afraid I can't hurry, let's rest in the town for a day, and it's not too late to leave for Beijing tomorrow." β
Chu Nian saw his increasingly pale complexion, and subconsciously frowned, but he only pursed his red lips and nodded lightly, without asking more.
Wang Zixuan on the side raised his eyes, as if he didn't want to participate in this topic, and the three of them walked all the way back to the deserted courtyard - the shopkeeper and his party had already run away, and when the sun set, this courtyard actually looked a little gloomy.
"Stay here for the time being tonight."
Wang Zixuan had no objection to Chu Nian's proposal, Tao Jinyan looked sideways slightly, "If you live here, aren't you afraid?" β
Chu Nian bit his lower lip and glanced at him, "The controllers of those monsters on the mountain know that we took away Wang Zixuan and destroyed their lair, so they will definitely send people down to look for them, and when the time comes, what they want to look for must be those inns, and they won't think of this place." β
Hearing this, Tao Jinyan pursed his thin lips, and didn't say much, Chu Nian found a room that could still be used, and found a way to boil two buckets of hot water, which pushed Wang Zixuan and Tao Jinyan in, "You guys take a warm bath first, and rub each other's backs first when no one is waiting, it's time to learn a little self-reliance." β
Tao Jinyan looked at Wang Zixuan's dirty appearance, and suddenly said with a look full of resistance: "If you ask me to bathe with him, won't it dirty my noble body......"
"Young people, don't talk nonsense, what's wrong with the beggar? Beggars may not be as clean as you! Maybe you're dirtier than me right now! β
"Hey, you old man......"
Chu Nian looked at the two of them with some annoyance, "I boiled the hot water and I didn't use it, you just stood at the door and waited for the hot water I worked so hard to boil to cool down again, but it was a waste of my kindness!" β
Hearing this, Tao Jinyan looked back a little innocently and wanted to say something, but Wang Zixuan swaggered into the door, "That's it, the county lord boils water for the old man with such a precious body, the old man is very honored, and some people don't want to enjoy it!" β
Tao Jinyan glanced at Wang Zixuan, who was the first to walk into the door, turned his eyes again, opened his mouth, and saw the toughness in Chu Nian's eyes.
When Tao Jinyan was ready to enter the house, Wang Zixuan had already squatted down in a wooden barrel, the original owner of this courtyard looked at it and naturally enjoyed it, although the outer skin of the wooden barrel had rotted a little, but I didn't know what special materials were used to preserve it, and it was still fresh after not using it for so long.
Tao Jinyan got into the warm water, his originally pale face finally improved a little, and on the opposite side was Wang Zixuan, who was also lying in another barrel, and the two stared at each other for a while, before they saw Wang Zixuan say slowly: "I remember that you are ...... Isn't that right? β
Hearing this, Tao Jinyan didn't seem to pay attention to Wang Zixuan, and looked at the other end slightly, but Wang Zixuan didn't intend to be discouraged, so he lowered his head and said with a smile: "You and the Wushuang County Lord are close friends?" But how can the old man look, what are you hiding from the old man? β
In the mist, Tao Jinyan's face was slightly stunned, and he saw Wang Zixuan continue: "Your lips are blue and pale, it's not frozen, it should be poisoned, right?" β
Tao Jinyan rolled his eyes, with a faint hint of warning in his eyes, but Wang Zixuan still smiled disapprovingly: "I guess you can't play well now, and at night, I'm afraid that your state will be worse, so you rushed to rest here, afraid of being discovered by Chu Nian, right?" β
This time, Tao Jinyan's handsome face became more and more relaxed, and he moved his thin lips that were gradually recovering their rosiness, "Old man, do you know too much?" β
Wang Zixuan smiled indifferently, "Chu Nian is not a fool, she must have already seen the problem with your body, but if you don't say it, she doesn't plan to ask." β
A touch of loneliness flashed in Tao Jinyan's eyes, he turned to the window as if nothing happened, and saw the thin back at the door, a trace of distress flashed in his eyes, and he turned his eyes to look at Wang Zixuan again, "Because of you things, she worries a lot every day, I just don't want to make trouble for her anymore." β
As soon as these words fell, he saw the meaningful eyes of Wang Zixuan on the other side of the steam, he nodded slowly, and said in a long voice: "I understand, young manββ"
Tao Jinyan's face stiffened for a moment, and then he saw Wang Zixuan half-mockingly and said, "Why, you plan to stand behind Chu Nian like this for the rest of your life, but don't you just squeeze that Ming Xiu down?" β
"I can't squeeze it anymore." Tao Jinyan's face was decadent, "It's me who is late." You old man really know how to read people's hearts, but it's useless for you to look at people's hearts, aren't you still an old beggar? β
The topic was successfully diverted by Tao Jinyan, and when the word "beggar" was mentioned, Wang Zixuan's face sank significantly, and he saw that he seemed to grit his teeth and looked at Tao Jinyan and said: "The old beggar is better than you can't eat swan meat." β
Tao Jinyan raised his eyes and glared at Wang Zixuan, and saw that Wang Zixuan seemed to smile casually, and then said slowly: "Young man, people live for a lifetime for a few years, don't regret it until you are old, at least now, you have to let her know that you are good, otherwise she will be in the dark for the rest of her life, and you will only be the shadow behind Ming Xiu for the rest of your life." β
Wang Zixuan's voice was tricky, and he actually made Tao Jinyan speechless for a while, this stall was closed in contemplation, and a handsome face turned a little white again, and then there was a violent sound outside the door, and the shadow of Chu Nian that was originally reflected on the window disappeared, and the sound of fighting suddenly came.
Tao Jinyan and Wang Zixuan glanced at each other, frowned and said, "You soak first, I'll take a look at the situation." β
