Chapter 21: The Green Stone
Since it can't be hard, there is only one way to outwit.
Before my curse was lifted, Sun Fatzi said that as long as he killed Zhang Huzi, the curse could be lifted. At that time, he also said that Zhang Huzi would go out at this time every day, and that he would only have to wait until after five o'clock tomorrow to kill him.
When he said this, it was about seven o'clock in the morning. In other words, Zhang Huzi will leave the store at about seven o'clock and will not return until after five o'clock the next day.
Since Sun Fatzi will encourage us to kill Zhang Huzi, it means that he has a holiday with Zhang Huzi, so it is unlikely that he will provide us with false information.
We could have sneaked in while Zhang Beard wasn't there, so we could avoid a confrontation with him.
I told Kang Zhan about this, and he agreed.
My stomach is already hungry, and I must find a way to get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise I will starve to death before I can be killed by the "people" in the town.
The three of them quietly came to Zhangbeard's fruit shop, his shop was closed, and we looked through the crack in the door.
There was a reclining chair in the store, and a big man was lying on it and snoring and sleeping.
Kang Zhan told me that the one lying inside was Zhang Huzi.
Zhang's bearded face was covered with a dense and long beard, and his face was only exposed, and he had never seen a person with such a thick beard when he was so big.
According to Sun Fatzi, Zhang Huzi should not be in the store at this time. But now he is sleeping in the shop. Could it be that you are oversleeping?
Just wait and see, maybe he will wake up and leave.
The three of them hid near Zhang's beard's shop, it was daytime, and Sun Fatzi was also tied up, so no one should come to look for trouble.
After about an hour, Kang Zhan and I went to peep again, and it turned out that the beard was still sleeping.
Helplessly, I waited for another hour. As a result, he was still sleeping.
Back and forth a few times, it was already getting dark.
We are wanted by Sun Fatzi all over the town, and there is no place for us in the town. After dark, the things that are not human and ghostly will come out, and if we haven't left the town before that, we will face death.
When the situation is urgent, it is even more important to stay calm, and I try to calm myself down.
Thinking about it carefully, I finally had a clue. From the first voyeur to the present, Zhang Beard has been sleeping. But the position in which he slept never changed.
Let's not talk about what a beard is, but how can a species that needs to sleep be in one position all the time?
Unless, he's not alive at all.
I spoke up about this discovery, and Kang Zhan agreed. After some discussion, I decided to go in and have a look. Now the situation is already on the bow, if I guess wrong, then we will fight with Zhang Huzi.
Pushing the door in, Zhang Hu was still lying on the chaise longue, I tiptoed over, the sky has eyes, my guess was correct, this Zhang Hu was not a living body, just a phantom.
I asked Kang Zhan, "Where is the exit?"
Kang Zhan shook his head helplessly: "I only know that the exit is in his store, I really don't know where it is."
I knew things weren't going to go that way, so I walked around to make sure that Zhang Huzi was really not there. Immediately beckoned the two of them to search around.
I searched for a long time, but found nothing.
I slapped myself on the head, and I cried again. Most of the people in the town don't want to stay here, otherwise Zhang Beard wouldn't have laid an enchantment around him. If the exit is so easy to be discovered, wouldn't the people in the town run out sooner?
He must have hidden the exit somehow.
Zhangbeard's shop is so big, we have looked through it several times, and there is no mystery in it, and we have not found any clues.
This time it really stumped me, and I squatted on the ground with my head covered.
The fat man came out angrily, and snorted twice at the phantom of Zhang Hu: "It's all your fault for the dead beard!"
Phantom...... That's right! Phantom! The fat man inadvertently reminded me.
Zhang Beard didn't have anything of value in the fruit shop, so why did he get a phantom and pretend to be in the store when he went out?
There is only one explanation, and that is that there must be something of value in his store. For the people of the town, the most valuable thing is, without a doubt, export.
I moved the chaise longue to the side, and the bearded phantom was still lying in that position.
There is nothing mysterious under the chaise longue, but above the chaise longue, there is an emerald green stone.
The size of a palm, the stone, from the outside, is unremarkable.
But I don't think it's an ordinary stone, otherwise why would Zhang Beard hide him so secretly?
In addition, there are fluctuations in energy on the stone, which repels the energy of the town's enchantment.
I reasoned that there was a good chance that this was a key. Enchantment is a type of energy that is highly repulsive. The external energy will be blocked, while the internal energy will be discharged.
The people in the town don't have any alien energy in them, but this stone does. You might be able to get out with it.
Before I could tell what I had found, there was a crackling sound, and the phantom of the bearded man shattered, falling to the ground one by one like a mirror.
Kang Zhan shouted: "Not good! Come on! ”
I didn't bother to ask why, so I ran out with him.
Before I could run out, the door suddenly closed!
There was silence all around, dead silence.
Could it be that Zhang Beard is back?
I wanted to kick it away, but I was bounced back by a burst of energy.
Then, an ethereal voice sounded in my ears: "Little mice, this is the end."
Looking at the voice, it was really Zhang Beard who had returned, and the deity was exactly the same as the phantom!
No one saw when he came back to the store, and there was a terrible aura on him. Ten times more terrible than the yin energy of roses.
Under the pressure of this breath, my legs began to weaken. The owner of the town, the source of all evil, is really not good.
I threw the stone to Kang Zhan and said, "I'll stop him, you take my friend first!"
Kang Zhan threw the stone back and said firmly: "It's useless, no one can leave now." I can only fight with him! ”
Hearing his words, my heart chuckled, can't I leave any of them? Then you can only fight!
The fat man's face tensed, and he said, "Cut him!"
The three of them rushed up together, Zhang Hu shouted, stomped his feet, and a force of impact shook the three of them away at the same time.
I was thrown into a rut, and my body didn't listen to me for a while, and it was difficult to breathe.
The fat man ran over to help me: "Are you okay?"
I picked up a stool and threw it on his beard. The stool bounced off when it was only about a centimeter away from him.
What the hell are you?
I picked up another stool and rushed up, and the fat man picked up the table and followed closely behind.
As soon as Zhang Hu raised his hand, the wind suddenly rose in the room, and the wind swept over his body, like thousands of knives cutting at the same time, and countless holes were cracked on his body for a while.
I fell headlong to the ground, and I had no strength to resist.
The fat man was also treated equally and lay down behind me.
Kang Zhan quickly took out a talisman and recited the incantation.
I could clearly see that there was a red and white Tai Chi pattern on the talisman.
Sorrow will be ...... He turned out to be a member of the Sorrow Society!
