Chapter 18: Proving Innocence
It's Tang Jie's voice! And it sounds like Tang Jie should be quite miserable now!
I hurriedly pushed the door, only to find that it wouldn't open at all. No, didn't I just push the door open? What's going on? Could it be that someone relocked the door?
At this time, I heard the horse watch behind me say, "Get out of the way!" ”
Ma Biao's voice sounded undoubted, and I almost subconsciously hid to the side, and I saw Ma Biao holding a piece of rune paper in his hand, and with a snap, he slapped the rune paper on the door.
Strangely, after the rune paper slapped on the door, a square seal-like figure on it suddenly seemed to move, and the cinnabar-colored stripes on it slowly dismantled on its own and disappeared into the door panel.
Immediately afterwards, as soon as Ma Biao stretched out his hand, he directly pushed the door open. Seeing him walk in, of course I didn't worry about letting him go to Tang Jie alone, and immediately after that, I saw Tang Jie on the bed at this time, rolling in pain.
I was about to pounce on it, but Ma Watch stretched out his hand from behind and grabbed me: "Don't move!" Do you know what his situation is? If it's something like Gu poison, not only will you not be able to save him, I'm afraid you'll also suffer from it. ”
As he spoke, Ma Biao unceremoniously pushed me back, and then reached out and pressed the sword finger of his right hand on Tang Jie's forehead. The other hand grabbed the air behind me, although I didn't see anything, but I could feel that something seemed to be slowly injecting into Tang Jie's body through the two hands of the horse watch.
Seeing that Tang Jie was quiet, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, there was a deafening sound in the corridor, and Ma Biao hurriedly said: "When there is an emergency at night, the people of Ziqiong Pavilion will use Huang Zhong Dalu to forcibly suppress a radius of ten miles. This voice is not something that a hairy boy like you can hear, close your eyes and cover your ears, and open your mouth! ”
In fact, needless to say, the sound became stronger and stronger, and I had to cover my ears. Supposedly, the sound has nothing to do with the eyes, but God knows why, this strong sound actually forced my eyes to close slowly.
After about ten seconds, the sound disappeared, and I saw Ji Shanlan and his party also appear in the room.
"How's he doing?" Ji Shanlan asked.
"Poisoning." Ma said succinctly: "It's fierce." ”
"Oh?" Ji Shanlan said as he took a step forward, intending to see it clearly, but at this moment, Tang Jie, who had already quieted down, suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood with a 'poof'.
I was frightened by his appearance, and hurriedly rushed up, only to find that Tang Jie's face was like gold paper, and his anger was like a gossamer. Then, after only a few seconds, his heaving chest stopped!
I quickly reached out to test his heartbeat and pulse, and found that Tang Jie had actually stopped his heartbeat!
"He's dead! What the hell did you just do to him! I said angrily.
Ma Biao's face changed: "Me? Boy, you're too ignorant. If I hadn't made a move just now, he would have died in pain for life! ”
"But after you made a move, he died! Just because he came to report your Ma family! So you must kill people? I scolded angrily, anyway, now that even Tang Jie is gone, my master is just a big deal.
"Presumptuous! Ziqiong Pavilion is not the place for you to mess around. Ji Shanlan suddenly said: "I see Tang Jie's noodles like gold paper, sweating like notes." The ten fingers were covered with bloodshots, and there was a faint black line on the middle of the person. Isn't this a symptom of salt-free injections? ”
I don't know what the saltless needle is, I just know that now the only person I trust is also dead, so I must find out who killed him!
I looked at the horse watch, and my heart was full of anger: "The surname is Ma! Didn't you say that at night, no one can come and go in the room casually, why did you come here!
Why did Tang Jie get poisoned as soon as you came here. Also, Tang Jie was in pain just now, why didn't you let me go to see him! ”
Hearing my questioning, Ma Biao's expression changed greatly: "Bastard boy, you can't be crazy!" You saw that I was saving him! ”
"I only saw you tap Tang Jie's forehead!" I gritted my teeth and said, hating to eat this person's flesh and skin.
Hearing me say this, Ji Shanlan's eyebrows moved, and suddenly said, "You said that Ma Biao grabbed Tang Jie's hand, how did you hold it?" ”
I was stupid, I didn't know how to describe it, so I very clumsily imitated the posture of the horse just now, pointing at Tang Jie's head with a sword with one hand, and claws towards the void with the other.
Ji Shanlan's two sword eyebrows immediately frowned together, and he looked at Ma Biao with a solemn face: "Qianyuan Soul Fixing Hand, what Zhang Yu said is true?" ”
Ma Biao's expression looked as embarrassed as if he had eaten a fly: "I did use the Qianyuan Soul Fixing Hand, but I didn't use this trick to secretly give Tang Jie a saltless needle."
I saw Tang Jie's withered face and delirium, so I wanted to use this trick to calm him down first, and then find a way to heal, but I didn't expect him to be hit by a saltless needle! ”
Although I am not a cultivator, I understand this question and answer. The so-called 'Qianyuan Soul Fixing Hand' used by Ma Biao just now is mostly related to the use of 'salt-free needles'. So Ji Shanlan is now suspicious of Ma Biao.
Sure enough, Ji Shanlan asked like a cannon: "I don't care about this." As Zhang Yu said, the rule of closing the door at night in Ziqiong Pavilion has been passed down for a long time, and you will not know this rule. But what are you still visiting the top floor at night? ”
I hurriedly stared at Ma Biao's face, not wanting to miss even an expression. Sure enough, Ma Biao looked very embarrassed: "This, I can't say." ”
"If you don't say it, then how can you prove your innocence! In addition, you just used the Qianyuan Soul Fixing Hand, and Tang Jie died under the saltless needle. These two moves have always complemented each other, and if you don't give an explanation, how to convince the public? Ji Shanlan said.
It can be seen that Ji Shanlan still has a lot of say in Ziqiong Pavilion. His aggressive posture made Ma Biao speechless for a while, and the people from the Taoist Association next to him were obviously standing behind Ji Shanlan.
The appearance of the scene, there is a faint situation of the two sides fighting each other.
Seeing that the situation was deadlocked, Ma Biao suddenly smiled bitterly: "The reason why I went out tonight is really impossible to say." But when it comes to this, I can only use another way to prove the innocence of my Ma family! ”
