"You don't know about the Black Descending Gate, but you have been poisoned by the corpse Gu of the Black Descending Gate." The strange man stared at Wu Zhiyuan expressionlessly, and his sharp eyes seemed to see through Wu Zhiyuan's body.

"The poison of the corpse Gu?" Wu Zhiyuan looked stunned, he had never heard of this name, and he didn't know what kind of black descending gate he was talking about, how could he get the poison of this corpse Gu for no reason?

"Have you been dizzy and chilled all these days?" The strange man saw Wu Zhiyuan's disbelieving expression and asked further.

Wu Zhiyuan's heart was shocked, the symptoms that this person in front of him said were really very consistent with himself, could it be that he had really been poisoned by this corpse Gu?

"If you are only poisoned by the Gu poison, you will only be like this woman, the internal organs of the body will be eaten by the Gu worms, if you are poisoned by the corpse again, you will be chilled in the early stage, and when the corpse poison enters the heart, the whole body will rot and you will be in pain. There are Gu worms swimming between the bloodlines in your body, so I conclude that you have been poisoned by Gu, and there is a faint color of iron and blue under your skin, which shows that you have also been poisoned by corpses. Seeing that Wu Zhiyuan's heart was moved, the strange man snorted coldly and continued to explain.

Wu Zhiyuan was shocked when he heard this, and the people around him involuntarily took a few steps back, for fear that the poison of this corpse Gu would infect him. Sheng Wanxiang was not afraid, just stared at Wu Zhiyuan with a frightened face, as if she believed it or not.

"Don't be afraid, you'll only be poisoned for three or two days, and you'll still be saved. If it is delayed for another half a month, even if Da Luo Jinxian is reincarnated, there is nothing he can do. The strange man's words seemed to be comforting Wu Zhiyuan, but his tone was cold.

"Really? How to save? Wu Zhiyuan and Sheng Wanxiang shouted in unison.

"At one watch tonight, I'll wait for you at the south pier of the city, you come alone, and I'll tell you the antidote when the time comes." The strange man spoke expressionlessly, and it was impossible to tell from the look on his face how much credibility he was saying.

Wu Zhiyuan froze in place, very flustered, and didn't know whether Lu Dao should agree to this agreement. Because this strange person is extremely cruel and will do whatever it takes to achieve his ends, Ah Mei in Yihong Courtyard lying on the ground in front of him is an example, this kind of person will teach the method of detoxification to an irrelevant stranger? The odds are slim to none. But now it seems that this is the only way to cure the poison of this corpse Gu on his body.

Wu Zhiyuan's mind was spinning rapidly, but he couldn't make up his mind.

The strange man didn't care whether Wu Zhiyuan responded or not, as if he was confident that Wu Zhiyuan would definitely make an appointment, and turned his head to the old bustard and said coldly: "Whether you hide it or not, the Taoist priest's things are missing in your Yihong Courtyard, I will come again in three days, if you can't hand over that thing, and you can't give an explanation, I will make your Yihong Courtyard chicken and dog restless!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the strange man drifted away.

As soon as everyone saw that there was nothing to see, they dispersed, leaving only the bustard and a few men in the hall. The old bustard got up from the ground, looked depressed, gave the man instructions on the aftermath of the corpse, and rubbed his waist and walked to the second floor.

"His grandmother's, since that stinky Taoist priest came, he hasn't had a good life, what a broom star." The bustard muttered as he went upstairs.

Sheng Wanxiang touched Wu Zhiyuan and motioned for him to catch up and inquire about the situation of the seventh aunt. Wu Zhiyuan came back to his senses suddenly, and then remembered that the purpose of this trip was to see Aunt Seven and deliver Du Yuesheng's letter.

"Auntie, please wait a minute!" Wu Zhiyuan shouted to the bustard very politely, in his opinion, this bustard is about the same age as his mother, and it should be the most appropriate to call him "aunt", but he didn't expect the bustard to turn his head, but he had an angry face.

"Auntie? Am I that old? The bustard stood on the stairs with an angry face. Thinking that the fire just now was still held in my heart, I just vented it to Wu Zhiyuan.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm looking for someone." Although Wu Zhiyuan has not been in contact with the outside world for a long time, he is already well versed in the samadhi of human interaction, and the woman in this kind of fireworks land is even more greedy for money, so he took out three pieces of ocean from his arms and handed them to the old bustard.

The old bustard really saw the money and opened his eyes, and when he saw Wu Zhiyuan handed over three pieces of ocean, his angry face instantly turned into a smiling face, this instant change was really faster than the change of face in Sichuan opera, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but despise it in his heart, but because he had something to ask her, it was not easy to show it, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward and stuffed the ocean into the palm of the old bustard.

The old bustard was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, what happened in the hall just now had long been forgotten, and he hurriedly invited Wu Zhiyuan to sit in the private room on the second floor, Wu Zhiyuan glanced at Sheng Wanxiang, and the latter immediately followed.

"Looking at this son's appearance, it doesn't look like he's here to find a girl, right?" The old bustard was well-informed and read countless people, looking up and down at Sheng Wanxiang who was sitting next to Wu Zhiyuan, smiling but not smiling.

There are two reasons why Lao Bustard concluded that Wu Zhiyuan was not a prostitute, one was that Wu Zhiyuan had a beautiful girl by his side, and it was impossible for a prostitute to have fun with a woman by his side; The second is that Wu Zhiyuan opened his mouth just now and called her "aunt", she has been doing this for decades, many prostitutes call her "mother" or "old mother", and the most unscrupulous ones will only call her "boss lady", Wu Zhiyuan also called her "aunt" confidently, obviously he is not an ordinary prostitute client.

"Yes, I'm not here to find a girl." Wu Zhiyuan looked at Sheng Wanxiang, his face flushed, and he blurted out without thinking.

"Nope! He's here to find the girl! Sheng Wanxiang followed the conversation, Wu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and the old bustard was also stunned, thinking about what was going on.

"He's looking for a girl named Xie Linling." Sheng Wanxiang continued, tilting her head sideways and glancing at Wu Zhiyuan.

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm looking for Miss Xie Linling. Wu Zhiyuan suddenly realized, and secretly admired Sheng Wanxiang's quick reaction.

Unexpectedly, before Wu Zhiyuan's words fell, the old bustard actually sighed and looked sad.

"What's wrong? Don't have enough money? Seeing this, Wu Zhiyuan put his hand into his arms, and he was about to dig out the ocean again.

"No, no, no, enough is enough." The old bustard sighed again, knowing in his heart that the man and woman in front of him were just looking for someone, but they didn't break it, and said leisurely: "Don't hide it from the two of you, you really didn't come at the right time, this Xie Linling, she ...... yesterday Yesterday ......"

When the old bustard said this, he couldn't cry a little, took out a handkerchief and began to wipe his tears, Sheng Wanxiang was anxious, stood up suddenly, slapped the table, and said angrily: "What happened to her yesterday?" Say it quickly! ”

The old bustard stopped crying, raised his head and said with a straight face: "She hanged herself yesterday. ”

Hearing the news, Sheng Wanxiang's body was shocked, and she sat on the stool with her buttocks, speechless for a long time. After all, Xie Linling has a deep relationship with her, and they have nothing to talk about, and the relationship between the two is closer than that of sisters, but when she suddenly heard the news of Xie Linling's suicide, Sheng Wanxiang couldn't believe it, but she had to believe it.

Wu Zhiyuan also looked at the old bustard with a stunned face, and subconsciously reached out and touched the letter in his arms, not knowing how to explain to Du Yuesheng when he saw him in the future.

"What did she hang herself for? Tell me all about her. Sheng Wanxiang said with a sad expression.

"She came to my Yihong Courtyard for a few days, and she didn't enter the water, let alone pick up guests, and locked herself in the room all day long, and it was not a matter for me to look at it, and I had to pick up guests sooner or later, so I said a lot of good things to her, but I didn't expect her to hang herself last night. Today, Amei was killed by that evil star again, ouch, what kind of evil did I create? The bustard patted his thigh and complained.

"Who was that guy in strange clothes who just left? Also, what did you say about the stinky Taoist broom star when you went up the stairs just now, and what happened? Wu Zhiyuan had too many doubts in his heart, he didn't know what had happened in Yihong Courtyard before.

The so-called uselessness is not lost, the old bustard is well versed in this principle, Wu Zhiyuan gave her three oceans, it can't be given for nothing, but just asking, I also feel that it is worth it, and I have a stomach full of bitter water that no one to confide in, so I no longer hide it, and tell the whole story.

Ten days ago, a Taoist priest came to Yihong Courtyard, and he was extremely generous, and he stayed in Amei's room for a long time, and he didn't want to think that seven or eight days later, there was a person in civilian clothes, who also claimed to be a Taoist, and the two of them started to fight after saying a few words, and almost smashed Yihong Courtyard, and the later Taoist priest asked the previous Taoist priest to hand over what treasure mirror and secret notes, and the previous Taoist priest said that things were lost in our Yihong Courtyard, and just such a sentence brought disaster to my Yihong Courtyard. The two Taoist priests fought until they went outside, and they never came back, and no one knew where they went. Unexpectedly, less than three days later, another person came, the strange man I saw today, who asked me to hand over the Taoist priest's things, but where I could hand them over, I didn't even know what they were talking about. The strange man made a few intimidations and left. Today, I came to make trouble again, and I actually used evil magic to kill Amei.

The old bustard recalled the past, touched the scene, and took out a handkerchief to wipe away tears.

After listening to the old bustard's words, Wu Zhiyuan had a few general ideas in his mind.

One is that the identities of the two Taoist priests are very likely to be Zhang Zefang and his junior brother Yu Yisu, who has been pursuing, according to the time, Zhang Zefang should have rushed back to Qingdao after successfully summoning his soul, which coincided with the time that Lao Bustard said.

The second is that the treasure mirror and secret tips they are looking for must have a lot to do with it, otherwise they won't provoke these few irrelevant people to think about it with all the trouble they can.

The third is that the reason why the strange man picked Ah Mei was obviously because Yu Yisu had taken Ah Mei for a period of time, so the weird man wanted to get the news of the treasure mirror and the secret book from Ah Mei, but he didn't expect to find nothing, so he killed him with poison, one can kill the mouth, and the other is that it has a deterrent effect on the people of Yihong Courtyard, which can intimidate them into handing over the treasure mirror and secret book.

Fourth, it is very likely that the treasure mirror and the secret book are not in Yihong Courtyard, Yihong Courtyard is full of people, there is no dead end, if it is still in Yihong Courtyard, it is impossible not to be discovered, and it is impossible to be privately hidden by the people of Yihong Courtyard, everyone knows how hot these two things are, and staying on the body will only cause death.

Next, the old bustard poured bitter water again, mostly talking about how difficult it was to support the façade of Yihong Courtyard by himself, and it didn't matter how much suffering he suffered all day long, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't get useful information from it, and after thinking about it, he didn't have anything to ask, so he got up and left with Sheng Wanxiang.

Walking on the street, Sheng Wanxiang took the initiative to hold Wu Zhiyuan's hand, neither of them spoke, each thinking about something in their hearts.

Suddenly, Sheng Wanxiang stopped and asked with concern.

"Are you going to meet that weirdo at the docks tonight?"
