Chapter 9: Bait

Zhang Xu reported himself to the teacher, and the surname Bai also nodded to save face.

Maoshan is the birthplace of the Shangqing School, with nine peaks, nineteen springs, twenty-six holes, and twenty-eight pools. It is a pity that after countless years of acquisition, it has not been able to raise any natural treasures, and now it has become a tourist attraction, and the Maoshan faction has also become a history.

But Zhang Xu didn't lie in front of the surnamed Bai, it was probably a disciple of Maoshan, and at the same time, he didn't expect his grandfather to send the paper coffin so far, but unfortunately his arrangement eventually became a pawn in other people's calculations, so that Maoshan had to send it back.

And this man who does his hands and feet is the face of a dead man who looks harmless to humans and animals in front of him. I am not worthy of my grandfather, and I am angry in my heart.

I thought of this, but I didn't say it, just quietly waited for the surname Bai to say.

However, what I didn't expect was that the surnamed Bai was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "First, the matter of the An family ten years ago has nothing to do with your Maoshan. Second, the origin of the corpse shadow and the corpse pill has nothing to do with you! ”

Zhang Xu's expectations are as big as mine, when he was waiting for an answer, he was even a little nervous, his hands kept clenching his fists and loosening, hearing such an answer, his eyes were instantly bloodshot, and he threw himself directly towards the surnamed Bai, and roared like a beast in his mouth: "It doesn't matter, my parents have also disappeared until now because of this matter." ”

The surnamed Bai saw Zhang Xu rushing over, snorted heavily, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

I was stunned for a moment, remembering that Zhang Xu had mentioned my parents, although it was said that his master had mentioned it, but there was probably a connection between the two, and the half of the jade pendant on our bodies was very intriguing.

Zhang Xu is determined to use strong, he is powerful, but I don't think he is an opponent surnamed Bai, seeing this, he hurriedly blocked between the two and persuaded him: "If you have something to say, there is no need to do it." I kept glancing at Zhang Xu as I spoke.

I don't know if I realized what I meant, or realized that it was not an opponent, the anger on Zhang Xu's face slowly subsided, and he snorted and sat on the chair.

I turned around and was about to ask what to do with the paper coffin surnamed Bai now, but the red rope was very short, and she didn't have time to turn around, and the two faced each other, and their faces almost stuck together.

Her beautiful big eyes were round with anger, but fortunately I reacted quickly and hurriedly took half a step back, and she glared at me without pursuing it. I motioned for her to turn around together, the two side by side, and then pointed to the paper coffin and asked, "You don't have to answer Zhang Xu's question just now, but at least I want to know why Miao Jiang's people seized the paper coffin, and whether you put the corpse pill in!" ”

Ten years ago, we know that what happened now is not very helpful, but rather disruptive. In addition, the surname Bai is not coming for the paper coffin, then it can only be a corpse shadow and a corpse pill. Otherwise, there was no reason for her to come to the door to pick up the paper coffin, and there was no need to stay.

I want to know what these two things have to do with the people of Miao Jiang, and then I will follow the vine, and many things will become clear.

After listening to this, the surnamed Bai said lightly: "The corpse pill was put in by me ten years ago, and it is a thing that all parties in Miao Xinjiang are fighting for, as for my purpose, it is naturally to transfer the hatred to the An family." ”

After listening to this, I gritted my teeth and said, "You are so vicious! The surnamed Bai sneered: "You settle down and bear me, so naturally you have to pay the price." Your grandfather knew ten years ago that there was a corpse pill in the corpse shadow, and he pretended not to know, just to eliminate my resentment, otherwise you would already be a dead man. ”

The surname Bai talked about what happened ten years ago, as if she was involved, but judging from her appearance, she was at most ten years old at that time, could it be that she was a genius?

However, this question is not the point, I avoided the contradiction and changed the topic: "Now that the paper coffin is in front of you, since you are not for the paper coffin, you take the corpse shadow and the corpse pill, you and I will have nothing to do with it in the future." ”

"Idiot!" The surnamed Bai sneered: "The soul coffin and the things inside are just bait, your grandfather hid it well, plus the people of Miao Jiang thought that the corpse pill and the corpse shadow were taken away by me, and you only had ten years of stability in your family, and now it has been broken, and you want to stay out of it is a fool's dream!" ”

I definitely won't stay out of it, my parents' affairs have passed so many years, I will give up, because I haven't seen them since I was a child, I don't have deep feelings, I want to know, but I won't try my best.

But grandpa's death is a needle, and if I don't figure out the ins and outs, I won't be at ease for the rest of my life. I said this because I was afraid that I would ask her directly and keep silent, or refuse me to follow her, and deliberately manipulate her.

Wen Yan said happily: "In this case, the bait has been prepared, and it is up to you to get the bait like this." ”

Only then did the surnamed Bai realize that I had played a clever trick, raised his eyebrows, and glared at me coldly. My hand moved slightly, suggesting that she was still connected, and that she couldn't take me without it, just in case.

Silent communication, compared to figuring out the meaning of the other party, surnamed Bai is a master of this way, so he can naturally understand. Snorted coldly and said: "The stand-in paper man can hide it for half a month, take advantage of this time, we use the paper coffin as bait, and follow them to see what they are doing!" ”

I heard that she meant that the person who shot her with a yin arrow would still come back in half a month, so I hurriedly cleared up the relationship and said: "I can't afford to provoke the person you provoke, and it's none of my business, don't bother me when the time comes." ”

Mrs. Mai can control the corpse, and the three brothers of the Miao family can control Gu, but everything is done by people, as long as it is done by people, it is easy to deal with, but what she provoked was the people below, and I didn't even have the desire to inquire.

Zhang Xu lost a lot of anger, got up and said, "I don't care about your business." But now that I agree with what you said, you two are here, and I'll send the paper coffin back. ”

The paper coffin must not be placed at home for them to take, in that case, the fool knows that there is a problem, I told Zhang Xu to be careful, and let him knock on the door six times in a row when he came back.

It's the third watch in the middle of the night, and there is no agreement, who knows what is coming from outside.

Zhang Xu nodded, put out the fire, and carried the paper coffin back. Before he left, I hurriedly closed the door, sat on a chair and prepared for a break, and found that there was no sound around me for a long time, so I looked sideways.

There was only one chair in the store, and it was tied to a red rope, and after I sat down, the surname Bai could only stand, but she stood and stood, but at this time she stared at me without blinking, not to mention how resentful.

I snorted and pretended not to see it, but I didn't know if it was a psychological effect, and I felt that her gaze was like a man's back, which was very uncomfortable. After a few minutes of stalemate, I had to get up and say, "Okay, let you sit." ”

The surnamed Bai didn't express any gratitude, so he naturally sat down.

I was too tired to stand for a while, so I had to squat next to me, and I didn't know what happened to Zhang Xu, I was a little distracted, and I felt someone pat me on the head before I reacted.

When I looked up, I saw the surname Bai shrinking his hand, his expression was very natural, I didn't react at first, but soon his face changed, and he said angrily: "The surname Bai, don't deceive people too much!" ”

"How?" At this time, she was still pretending, and I said angrily: "You just took me but pet dog!" ”

The surnamed Bai said innocently at this time: "I just patted you on the head, but I didn't say that." But if you admit it yourself, then I have nothing to say! ”

"You!" I was so angry with her that I couldn't speak, just now she filmed my movements, it was clear that she was a pet dog, but I was entangled in this matter, and I really admitted that I was a dog.

Holding my breath and feeling extremely bad, I leaned sideways on the back of the chair and said nothing.

It was almost four o'clock in the morning when I heard footsteps outside the door, and I was immediately alert, but I didn't make a sound. It wasn't until I knocked on the door six times that I dragged the surnamed Bai to get up, and after opening the door, Zhang Xu rushed in.

The clothes on his body were torn in several places, and he had already seen blood, and his face was dark, and after he came in, he sat on the chair and said, "The corpse poison last night is not good, and I was bitten by a Gu snake just now, quickly bring me a basin of water." ”

There was drinking water in the store, so I hurriedly found a basin to fill it. As soon as I moved, the one surnamed Bai could only follow behind, but the two of them were uncoordinated, either bumping into each other or pulling each other. Seeing this, I was angry, and said angrily: "Can you not get in the way, I won't be able to see Zhang Xu soon!" ”

"You two stop arguing, hurry up!" Zhang Xu was sweating profusely at this time, breathing heavily, and it was very painful.

I put the water in front of him, and he immediately pulled out a dagger from his waist, and after tearing his clothes, he saw two black and swollen tooth marks on his right wrist, and a black line from the wound had reached the shoulder.

Zhang Xu wanted to cut the wound, but he couldn't get used to his left hand, so he tried a few times and handed me the dagger and said, "Come on, cut three inches along the black line!" ”

I took a breath of cold air, I lived for twenty-three years, this picture has only been seen in the movie, I didn't expect it to happen to me now, and my hand trembled a little when I held the dagger. But life is at stake, and mother-in-law and mother cannot be tolerated.

took a few deep breaths, then let the surnamed Bai get closer, don't let the red rope pull my hand, and asked Zhang Xu after calming down: "Has the paper coffin been taken away?" ”

He was about to reply, but I pressed his forearm hard, stabbed the dagger half an inch, and stabbed it upwards as he said. Before Zhang Xu could react, I had already collected the dagger.

It took him a long time to exhale and say, "Good boy, there are yours." ”

After five seconds of nervous reaction, his hand trembled slightly, but he didn't snort, and took a few quick breaths before saying, "Throw the dagger into the water, you stand back." ”

Hearing this, I hurriedly threw away the dagger, and when it touched the water, the water in the basin suddenly turned like ink.

Zhang Xu rolled his sleeves up to his shoulders, close to his armpits, and was tied by him with a red rope. He pinched his left hand and pressed it quickly on the artery, and his little finger loosened the red rope, and almost at the same time, a stream of black blood arrows erupted from the wound and landed in the basin.

His pinching hand exerted force several times, and each time a large amount of black blood was squeezed out, and after several back and forth, his blue and black face regained a little ruddyness, until the blood flowing from the wound turned red, and he wiped the area around the wound with talisman paper. After cleaning up, he let go and leaned back on the back of the chair and breathed heavily.

After resting for a few minutes, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, handed it to me, and said, "Sprinkle the powder on the wound." ”

I reached out and took it, and then I dared to ask, "Are you okay now?" ”

The surnamed Bai interjected: "Maoshan's disciple has been exposed to the five poisons since he was a child, and he has long had resistance in his body, if it weren't for the mixture of Gu poison and corpse poison, his body would be able to dissolve it." ”

I was thinking just now that if it were me, I would have this courage even when my life was at stake, but now it sounds like if I was bitten by a Gu snake, I wouldn't even have a chance to show courage, so I would just hang up.

Grandpa said that Maoshan's Jinchuang medicine is also a must, but unfortunately, except for Maoshan disciples, there is no real Maoshan Jinchuang medicine on the market.

Zhang Xu should have given me that thing at this time, and the powder only touched the wound, and the bleeding stopped immediately. Zhang Xu said: "The paper coffin was taken away by the Miao brothers, but the people from the Mai faction also came, and it is not certain who will fall into the hands in the end, I can't go, and the matter will be handed over to the two of you." ”

I nodded to reassure him, but halfway through the sentence, the surnamed Bai sneered: "What's the use of bringing a waste with you." ”

Hearing this, the anger I had suppressed for a few days finally exploded.
