Chapter Eighty-Three: The Second Shopkeeper
Hua Moling and the others watched the shopkeeper come to a secret room in circles, and then checked that there was no one around, and knocked lightly on the door with his right hand three times, and the door opened from the inside.
Then, the shopkeeper disappeared from the sight of Hua Moling and the others.
The three of them wanted to keep up, but they heard a voice coming from inside the door: "Why is this one?" ”
The shopkeeper's terrified voice came immediately: "There is another one, and there is another, I threw it in the secret passage and dragged this one over first." ”
"What's going on with the rest of that?" The voice asked again.
"That lady who seems to be the most powerful person among them is inseparable, and I can't do it."
The "left" one in their mouths should be referring to Hua Moling.
The voice snorted coldly, then there was a sound of moving things, and then there was the second shopkeeper.
"Wait!"
"How?" The man's voice was faintly impatient.
"My Antidote......
"Hmph, yours is indispensable."
"Why only half one?"
"As long as you can find a way to get the woman in charge, you'll be able to get the remaining half of the antidote."
"You, you ......"
"Less nonsense! Whether you can survive until the morning after tomorrow, hum, it's all up to you! ”
As soon as the words fell, Hua Moling heard a burst of voice, and a faint bit of light came out of the secret room, and then disappeared again.
It seems that the owner of the voice has left.
When the shopkeeper opened the door of the secret room in frustration, Ye Chi Yu grabbed his neck: "The woman who is worried about the master, you are tired of being crooked!" ”
Hua Moling hurriedly pressed Ye Chi Yu's hand, she was really afraid that Ye Chi Yu would break the thin shopkeeper's neck with one force.
The Nine-Tails went straight into the secret room and checked the exit mechanism.
Hua Moling heard that the shopkeeper and the owner of the voice had mentioned the antidote, so she reached out and took the pulse of the shopkeeper.
"It's so poisonous."
Then he pulled the sleeve of the shopkeeper, and saw that the entire arm, from the wrist to the elbow to the shoulder, had turned purple and black, and if he touched it, black water would seep out of the skin.
"Found it!" Nine-Tails exclaimed, then turned the inconspicuous candlestick in the secret room, and a secret door appeared.
Presumably, the light they saw outside the door was changed by the movement of the candlestick.
"Nine-tails, you go and catch up with that person, and guarantee the safety of Liuli! Leave a mark on the way, and I'll let Ruolei pick you up. ”
Nine-Tails jumped out of the secret door in response, and followed the footsteps left by the man.
"As for you, let me guess, you've been poisoned for more than three months, haven't you?"
The shopkeeper was thrown to the ground by Yaike Twilight, clutching his neck and coughing heavily, and retreated until he leaned against the wall.
"Are you in the same league as those people?"
Hua Moling squatted down and poked his fingers on the arm of the shopkeeper: "It's a pity, even if you get the remaining half of the antidote, you still won't survive tomorrow......"
"What did you say?" The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Hua Moling in disbelief.
"You're already poisoned, do you still need me to remind you? I think it's not just your arms, it's your feet that are starting to react like this now, right? ”
The frightened expression on the shopkeeper's face made Hua Moling confirm his guess.
"Tut-tut, it's so pitiful, I don't even know if I've been abandoned."
The shopkeeper looked at Hua Moling's eyes at this time and looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva with similar eyes: "Since you can recognize that it is a bone erosion, you must have a way to save me, right?" ”
"Save you? Why should I save you? Hua Moling stood up and asked rhetorically, holding her arms.
"If you don't save me, your men won't survive! If they are delayed for another two hours, they will all be abolished and cultivated, and then they will be fed with poison and sold to other countries to become prostitutes and prostitutes for fun! ”
"What did you say?" Hua Moling's eyes seemed to be lit with a fire at this time.
An organization with eroded bones and phantom powder would do such a heart-wrenching thing as trafficking in women!
"You give me the antidote, otherwise I won't say anything!"
The shopkeeper put on a rogue look like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, staring at Hua Moling.
"Okay, if you let me find out that there is half a lie, I will kill you immediately!"
The shopkeeper was not ambiguous, and he explained everything that happened in 1510.
The group had come to Lingshui three months earlier, and one of the men in the group had thirst, and the first day the livestock had been drained of blood was the work of that man.
The shopkeeper is indeed the second child of the Ruyi Inn, but he was inadvertently arrested by that organization, and they fed him the Eroding Bone Powder and forced him to be in the town to respond.
So, the shopkeeper said that the name of this organization was that a woman who had been immersed in a pig cage for adultery came back to seek revenge, and the people involved in the incident either disappeared or died one after another, and people gradually believed the rumors of haunting.
Then, they began to commit a frenzied crime, first the shopkeeper used the phantom powder they gave to tempt him to drink, and then waited until nightfall to send someone to take the person who drank the phantom powder away.
The men became thirsty, and the women were secretly taken away as prostitutes.
Over time, the people in the town fled and died, and the shopkeeper stayed in the only inn in the town, waiting for the new guests to be delivered to the door.
"Every time someone came I told me that the town was haunted and told them to hurry, but they still didn't listen to the advice like you, so I did it......"
After saying the matter, the shopkeeper also defended his behavior of aiding and abusive.
Hua Moling was already so angry that the roots of her teeth were itching.
"You said yes, it will cure the poison in my body! I'll tell you where their nest is! ”
The shopkeeper didn't miss Hua Moling's murderous eyes, and hurriedly said the value of his existence.
Hua Moling took out a black pill from his small waist bag: "This is the Hundred Poison Pill, it can cure a hundred poisons, you can eat it." ”
Then, Hua Moling walked out from the exit of the secret room.
It turned out that the exit of this secret passage turned out to be a dilapidated City God Temple on the edge of the town, presumably this is where they connected.
Hua Moling and Ye Chi followed the mark left by the Nine-Tails.
Hua Moling looked up at the sky, in the dark blue night sky, a huge cloud obscured the moon tightly, and a gust of cold wind blew, Hua Moling shivered fiercely.
It seems that tonight is destined not to be peaceful.
