Chapter 65: The Path
I looked at the tea bowl in front of me, which was a delicate white porcelain bowl with blue flowers and birds printed on it.
Although I haven't studied any ancient knowledge, I came from ancient times after all, so I can tell at a glance that the bowl must be an antiquity. This family is extravagant enough to drink water from Gu Zhi.
Thinking of the feeling that this old man gave me, for the sake of safety, this tea must not be drunk. Hu San naturally didn't have to say it, but Zhu Gui, a brainless man, had already picked up the tea bowl and was about to send it to his mouth, Hu San sat next to him and grabbed Zhu Gui's hand holding the tea bowl, Zhu Gui turned his head and looked at him stunned.
"How many times have you been told that you can't drink tea when you're sick!" Hu San pressed Zhu Gui's hand down and said.
Only then did Zhu Gui understand Hu San's intentions, and said with a few dry laughs: "Heh, that, I'm sorry, I forgot, I forgot." ”
I have been peeking at the old man's expression, watching the scene just now, his expression has not changed, it seems that when I saw him on the road, his expression has never changed, looking at his appearance, a word suddenly flashed in my mind - zombie.
Of course, although his expression was stiff, it should not be a zombie.
"Old man, let's inquire, how do we go to Yinkui Mountain?" Hu San put on a scoundrel expression and smiled. Anyway, no matter how Hu San laughs, I always feel like a scoundrel in the market.
After listening to Hu San's words, the old man's expression still did not change, and his eyes were still squinted, so you can't see his emotional changes from any aspect.
"Ahem!" The old man coughed twice, picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip.
"What are you doing there?" The old man said in a low voice. I get goosebumps every time I hear him finish. His voice doesn't have any ups and downs, it's low but penetrating.
I said in my heart, didn't I tell him just now, we are here to investigate, why is this old man so forgetful?
"We're here to investigate!" Zhu Gui shouted loudly, with a little impatience in his tone.
When the old man heard this, he suddenly smiled, and the strange thing was that his face did not smile, but only a laugh came out of his mouth, giving people the feeling that it was not him talking, but someone dubbing him.
I couldn't help but shudder again after hearing this, Hu San and Zhu Gui obviously felt abnormal, and Zhu Gui coughed unnaturally twice.
"Go back! Don't come back, this is not the place you should be. The old man said coldly.
"Old man, we are from the geological team, sent from above?" Hu San's voice raised a little when he said it, for fear that the old man would not be able to hear clearly.
This time, the old man didn't speak, and took a small sip of tea.
Halfway through, the old man muttered, "Death, death." After saying that, the old man got up and walked out of the door, and as soon as he went out, the big wolf dog outside greeted him with a flattering wagging tail, and circled around the old man vigorously.
The three of us were stunned there, you look at me, I look at you, this old man didn't say anything, just hung us here, what does he mean by this?
I was thinking wildly, when I suddenly felt my brain buzz, and in an instant, the world was spinning, and my whole body was weak, and I immediately collapsed in my chair. At this moment, my eyelids are very heavy, and I no longer have the strength to open my eyes wide. Through the blurred eyelash gaps, I saw that Hu San and Zhu Gui were already foaming at the mouth unconscious, and I finally understood that this was the way of others.
Alas, we are really useless, careful and careful, cautious and cautious, but we still end up like this.
Although my brain was confused and I didn't have any strength in my body, I didn't have to lose consciousness completely like Hu San and Zhu Gui.
At this time, I vaguely saw that the old man was back in the room, and that he was followed by several large men in strange costumes.
The old man's mouth made some incomprehensible sounds, as if they were some kind of dialect. It can be seen that the big men were respectful to the old man, and after the old man finished speaking, they rummaged through us. I didn't have anything with me, everything was in my backpack, and before they could find anything, they took out the rope and started tying us up.
I tried to disguise myself as best I could, so that they could not see that I was still conscious, so that I could surprise them when they broke free from the rope.
I tried to transport the true qi on my body, but there was no response. What trick are they using, sweat pills? It's impossible to be with, how can we be tricked without eating or drinking? **Fragrant? If it's **incense, then why is the old man okay? The most important thing is that the doors and windows of this hall are open, and the ** incense can't work at all in this environment, which is really strange.
At this time, the three of us have been tied up by five flowers. Of course, if I can return to my free movement, this rope will not work for me.
In a daze, I was lifted up, and by this time my eyes could no longer see clearly, but my brain was still conscious, and my ears could still hear sounds.
I was carried around for a few minutes, and then I heard the creak of the door opening, and I was thrown to the ground.
At this time, the old man's obscure voice came from his ears, and then the big men responded with each other. It didn't take long for me to suddenly smell a strange fragrance, and my mind slowly cleared up. I narrowed my eyes slightly, and the old man was sitting on a Taishi chair, and behind him stood four big men, all with dark skin and a face.
"Don't pretend, I've already given you an antidote." The old man's voice came slowly.
I opened my eyes and turned my head to look at Hu San and Zhu Gui. But they haven't woken up yet, and they don't look like they're pretending
The old man gave the big man behind him a look, and the big man walked up to Hu San and Zhu Gui, took out a white bottle and twisted the lid, and suddenly a strange fragrance came.
It's strange that although this smell is fragrant, it doesn't feel comfortable, but it makes you want to vomit.
After a while, Hu San and Zhu Gui also woke up one after another, looking left and right in a daze.
"Say, what the hell are you here for?" The old man spoke, and although his voice was low, it had endless majesty.
"Uncle, we're really from the geological team." Zhu Gui replied with a sad face.
"Hehehe!" There was a strange laugh, and then the old man turned his head and pointed to the side.
I looked next to the backpack we had brought, and at this time they had turned it over in a mess, and a lot of things had been turned out.
"What about your documents, how do you prove that you are from the geological team?" The old man asked.
"Documents? Lost! Zhu Gui was still quibbling.
But at this time, the quibbles were useless, and it was all because they didn't think about it at the time, and they knew that it would be better to print a fake certificate.
Hu San and I didn't answer, and waited and watched. I've had a little luck, and I found that I have regained some strength in my body, which is easy to do, and I'm still afraid of you when all my strength is restored in a while?
"Hehehe!" The old man smirked harshly, his expression remained unchanged, his mouth did not move, and I seriously suspected that he might be a facial paralysis.
After laughing, the old man got up from his chair and walked up to me and squatted down, staring at me intently, only then did I realize that the mask on my face had been removed by them at some point.
"Young man, if I'm not mistaken, you're from the Ghost Clan, yes or no?" The old man asked, staring at me with those narrowed eyes.
Oni? Never heard of this people. I suddenly thought of the legendary ghost country, does this ghost clan have anything to do with the ghost country? But obviously, he guessed wrong, I am from the Qing Dynasty, what kind of ghost clan is it?
