Chapter 19: Revisiting the Guangji Tower
"Wu Xing, let's take a look, it's a bit messy. According to Hu Meimei's words: The fire 80 years ago was caused by the fish spirit in the river who wanted to seize the treasure, and the treasure lord Peach Tree Demon died in that fire is unknown. If the peach tree root caught in the black fog at Guangji Tower that night was the peach tree demon of the year, how likely do you think it is? ”
"I don't know." Wu Xing's face was still expressionless.
"Look at your little eyes? Hu Meili is a demon, you are a demon hunter, isn't it normal for her to see you unpleasant? ”
"This aunt of yours is special."
Jiang Hao had no choice but to explain when he heard Wu Xing's question, otherwise this cautious god wouldn't be able to get by. "Wasn't that what I was a child with, not treated by my family, once I was thrown into the mountains and broke my leg, and she saved me. Later, I often ran into the mountains, and at that time she still lived in the mountains of the imperial capital......"
Jiang Hao turned the topic back to the previous above: "Let's continue to talk about it: Hu Meili said that the peach tree demon has an aura on its body, which attracted other monsters (including the fish spirit), you said that if it really has a treasure, it shouldn't die so easily, right?" If she hadn't died, she had relied on this treasure to nourish her until now, what do you think it should be like? ”
"Human-shaped." Wu Xing sat in the passenger seat and only looked at the road ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.
"So the peach tree root is likely to be the aftermath of the peach tree demon back then. Let's talk about Tao Ji ......"
"Can't be sure she's a peach tree root. Although they are both woody, the smell is different. This is also what Wu Xing can't figure out.
The two chatted all the way and soon arrived at the Guangji Garden Community.
From the outside, the Guangji Pagoda has not changed much. "Straight in?" Jiang Hao looked like Wu Xing, although the hexagram he set up before going out showed "there is no danger", but there are accidents in everything, and he still doesn't want to take too many risks. Last time, Lu Jia's variable was shocking enough. Jiang Hao saw that Wu Xing ignored the others, and they were already inside the wall, so he followed.
Jiang Hao was looking for something suspicious around this small tower, Jiang Hao took a flashlight and searched around, and found a small peach sapling in the gap of a few broken bricks in the corner. Since the peach tree looked like a new branch, and it was dark the last time I visited, I couldn't notice it until I looked closely.
Jiang Hao touched the floor tiles and then pried up a brick on the ground next to the peach tree, the brick was easily pried open, and it looked like it had just been touched not long ago. Jiang Hao continued to pry open, several pieces in a row, the soil around the stump, it should be someone hiding something here not long ago.
Jiang Hao brushed aside the floating soil above, and suddenly a bad premonition rose in his heart, and he sped up his speed, digging down, and he touched a person's face. When Jiang Hao turned on the flashlight and saw that it was Boss Huang, the whole heart sank.
Jiang Haochong, who was standing at the base of the tower staring at the top of the tower, shouted, "Wu Xing, come and help." ”。
Wu Xiang thought it was nothing serious, but when he came over and saw Boss Huang buried in the soil, he was also taken aback. Taking a deep breath, he raised a hand above Jiang Hao's digging bricks, and a great gravitational force appeared in Wu Xing's palm, forming a cyclone that was not big or small, just looking at Boss Huang's body, a large piece of floor tiles on the ground flew up with dirt, revealing the people below.
Jiang Hao didn't care about the dust thrown on his body by the cyclone in Wu's palm, and quickly lifted out Boss Huang, who was pale, Jiang Hao probed his breath, lay on his chest and listened to his heartbeat, "It's still alive." ”
Jiang Hao massaged Boss Huang's chest to wake him up, Wu Xing said that there was no need to be so troublesome. directly slapped Boss Huang in the face. "He's just being distracted, not near-dead."
After Boss Huang woke up, he felt that his face was hot and painful, and he was startled when he saw that there were two other people next to him shining flashlights on him, and asked the person opposite with his hand to cover his eyes: "What are you doing?" Where is this? As he spoke, he got up from the ground, but because he hadn't fully woken up and Wu Xing's slap just now, he almost sat on the ground again.
"Tell me about you first, how did you get here? I'm Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao's flashlight was still on Boss Huang's body, and it was indeed Jiang Hao that Boss Huang relaxed slightly, "Brother Hao, you pull me, my arms and legs have been hurting since the water fell up and down, and I wonder if I am rheumatism." This time, he slowly stood up with Jiang Hao's support. What about Tao Ji? ”
Hearing Boss Huang ask like this, Jiang Hao asked rhetorically: "Overboard?" When was this? I also want to ask you, why are you here? What about Tao Ji? ”
According to Boss Huang, Boss Huang said that after Jiang Hao and the three came out of Tao Ji's restaurant, Tao Ji said that he wanted to come and come over. When he came in, he was dazed and sleepy, and that's it.
I remembered that Jiang Hao asked about falling into the water more than half a month ago when he was fishing by the river, and was dragged into the river by a big fish, and he picked up a life in the ghost gate.
It didn't look like Boss Huang was lying, and there was indeed no trace of Tao Ji at the scene, so Jiang Hao turned off the flashlight and chatted with Boss Huang without planning to leave. Wu Xing stood next to the base of the tower and looked at the top of the tower as before, Jiang Hao ignored him and just chatted with Boss Huang.
"In addition to joint pain in my limbs, I also have tightness in my chest and I often feel sleepy. You've been suffering from sleepiness for more than a day, haven't you? I'll do the math...... At least half a month. ”
"Eh, it's really been more than half a month since I planned to take over this project."
"You haven't come to the tower for more than half a month, but you don't want to come in when you get to the door. Every time I get to the door, I feel sleepy. ”
"How do you know?"
"I didn't want to come in today, but Tao Ji pulled you in, I guess what Tao Ji said? She said there was something good in the tower. "Jiang Hao has already turned off the flashlight. In the dark, he sensed that Jiang Hao on the other side was a little unusual today.
"yes, but where has Tao Ji gone?"
"Tao Ji is still here. But until then......"
Jiang Hao said this, took out a chapter of soul fixing talisman and pasted it on Boss Huang's heart, and then felt that he was grabbing something outside. Boss Huang was also uncomfortable at this time, he felt that something in his body was being pulled out, but his body really wanted that thing to leave.
After Jiang Hao grabbed it for a while, he finally pulled out the thing, and a huge black shadow two meters long fell to the ground with a thud. Still turning back and forth and slapping the ground.
"I'm waiting for you to come ashore. If I really didn't take you in the river, I still can't get you on the ground? Wu Xing, what do you do with this thing? ”
Jiang Hao picked up the flashlight and shone it on the black shadow. It is a two-meter-long silver-gray eel. This fish is different from ordinary rayfish, its back is covered with spikes, and even the mouth is covered with dense and sharp teeth. It makes people look extremely uncomfortable, and I don't know how he got into Boss Huang's body.
"Can you turn off the flashlight? Who are you trying to attract? Or do you think I don't know you can see it? "Indeed, for Jiang Hao and Wu Xing, night vision in the dark is better than a flashlight.
Jiang Hao laughed: "People outside the nodules can't see what is inside." Aren't you a god...... Keep a low profile in front of you, the great god. ”
Wu Xing looked at the things on the ground, and said in a disgusted tone, "It's burned." Then a wisp of fire ignited in his palm and threw it at the fish, and then he saw that the flames quickly enveloped the fish's body. Wu Xing still muttered as if he was angry: "It's all enchanted, and it's low-key." ”
