Chapter 9: Schadenfreude
Walking through the garden unimpeded, Baili Lan saw a circular arch mound with a sign on the outside that read, "No trespassing." Bai Lilan is very strange, what do the guys who wrote these words think, people who are not interested in it are also aroused by this sentence to explore, especially those like her who are not afraid of death, and they are even more curious about what can be in it, worthy of the owner's protection.
Circling around the periphery of the arch mound, Baili Lan held his chin with his palm, and found that this thing didn't have a door, could it be that there was any mechanism nearby?
"Who's hanging out there!"
While thinking about it, Bai Lilan heard a cold reprimand behind her, and couldn't help but look back, and found that it was a thin boy, dressed in white clothes, with thin lips pursed. When Xingyan saw Baili Lan, he was stunned at first, then understood, and finally disdainful.
This series of changes in demeanor made Bai Lilan playfully hook the corners of her mouth, and at the same time put her hands around her chest, staring at the man without showing weakness.
It seemed that he didn't expect Baili Lan to be so careless, the man was stunned, and then said with a sneer: "The girl of the Wang family is really different from ordinary people, not only can she climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, but she doesn't know how to avoid it when she sees a man, but I don't know if it's your nature like this, or if you have a good way to teach at home?" ”
"Childe doesn't need to be in a hurry to evaluate, because whether it is nature or family teaching, from now on, this label will be attached to you, but if you like to be said to be a godwife, it doesn't matter."
His eyes looked at Baili Lan viciously, and the man said in an unkind tone: "Sharp teeth and sharp mouth, in Tangmen, you can't get benefits!" If you want to spend the rest of your life in Tangmen safely, then it's best to be obedient, don't let me catch you with any tricks, otherwise, I have a way to make you unable to survive and die! ”
"If I were you, it would be better to prepare for tomorrow's wedding than to have time to speak harshly here. Although you don't like this marriage, but because of the status of the Tang Sect in the rivers and lakes, you still have to make it decent, our Wang family is just a small family, even if you are embarrassed, you can't find us. But the Tang Sect is different, as long as there is a slight omission in the wedding, there will be a bunch of people who will come to see your jokes, even if it has been ten years ago, there will still be people poking you in the backbone with this matter, and future generations will also suffer. So, you'd better be honest and prepare for the wedding. ”
Baili Lan's villain's appearance was so angry that the man's teeth itched, and he wanted to strangle this woman to death immediately, saving her from becoming a stain on his life. After a few rough breaths, the man asked with a snort: "Do you know who I am, dare to talk to me like this!" ”
"Of course I know who you are, my future husband, Tang Lingcan. It's just that you're thinner than I thought, did you take too much poison when the Tang Sect was fine? ”
"Bastard, you've just eaten too much poison, I'm trying the medicine myself! Since you know that I am the master of the young sect, why do you not bow down when you see me, and I have no education at all! ”
"When the two of us met, you must have recognized my identity first, and you didn't bow to me, so why should I salute you? Young master, your upbringing is really pitiful! ”
With his hands clenched hard, Tang Lingcan's eyes were fierce, and he didn't think much about throwing a handful of white powder at Bai Li Lan, and expected to hear Bai Li Lan's screams. But Bai Lilan had long expected that the angry Tang Lingcan would make the move of poisoning, so she held her breath, rolled up her long sleeves, and then rushed to the opposite man and rubbed it hard.
"Bastard, what are you doing with this woman!" Hearing Tang Lingcan's roar, he hurriedly wiped the white powder on his cheeks, his face full of disgust.
"You're doing what you just did. Why, you can only calculate me, and I can't fight back? Patting the residual medicinal powder on her body, Bai Lilan smiled proudly, stood there and looked left and right, and after a while, red blisters began to appear on Tang Lingcan's face, all of which were crystal clear, making people feel sick to their stomachs when they saw it. But this didn't affect Bai Lilan's good mood, she put her hands behind her back, poked her head, and said gloatingly, "Oh, what's wrong with the young master, it's so decent, how did it become a pig's head?" This is terrible, what are you going to do tomorrow as a groom? Or, you're just like me, just put on a red hijab, haha! ”
Bai Lilan's gloating appearance angered Tang Lingcan, and he wanted to step forward to teach him a lesson, but the tingling pain on his cheek told him that the top priority now was to go back to get the antidote, otherwise it would be too late to leave a scar. But just like that, I was a little unwilling, and the poison that was originally prepared for this woman made her cry and beg herself, but she let herself go, and now her face is extremely itchy, like an ugly monster, and she can make people laugh when she says it!
Looking at Baili Lan's giggle appearance, Tang Lingcan covered his cheeks and said hatefully: "No one has ever dared to calculate me like this, especially since you are still a woman!" So, Wang Wanyue, you remember it for me, I must make you pay a hundred times the price for this! ”
Bai Lilan was not very familiar with this name, especially Tang Lingcan still used it as a threat, let alone any lethality at all, but made Bai Lilan raise his head and said with empty eyes; "The antidote hasn't reached you yet, so be polite to me, if I'm not happy, I can burn that herb as firewood at any time! It doesn't matter if I'm dead, I'm just a nameless little woman, but you're different, I don't know how many people behind you are worried about you, and you die easily, isn't it cheaper for others? So, for the sake of a high position in the future, what is it to swallow your anger now, young master, you still need to exercise hard! Bai Lilan said, and patted Tang Lingcan's shoulder, which was quite serious.
"I don't have the same knowledge as you now, but you will know in the future that it will be a crime you have done in this life to make me Tang Lingcan!" Tang Lingcan said as he turned around and hurried forward, while scratching his face uncontrollably, his face was hideous.
With the corners of her mouth bent, Baili Lan continued to look at the strange building in front of her, thinking about finding the entrance now, and then entering it late at night to explore.
"Hey, stupid woman, get out of there quickly, otherwise you will violate the rules of the Tang Sect, no matter what you have in your hands, you will be killed!" Tang Lingcan saw that Baili Lan was still standing there, and couldn't help but warn in a rough voice, and then it seemed that a strange itch came up again, which made Tang Lingcan's face weird, and he hurriedly ran away.
Cut, success is not reserved for those who follow the rules, who should wait here?
Rolling her eyes, Baili Lan turned around and walked to the back of the arch mound, and reached out to touch it. Suddenly, she bumped into a protrusion that caused Baili Lan to bend the corners of her mouth.
Tang Gate, after nightfall,
Changing out of the human skin mask, Bai Lilan wore a night suit, pushed open the door, and after seeing that there was no one on the left and right, she quietly blended into the darkness, followed the sheep intestine path, came to the arch mound she saw during the day, and stretched out her hand to press the protrusions, and heard a "click" sound, the side of the arch mound revealed a gap, and then the stone automatically slid to both sides, revealing a stone staircase. The stone steps were pitch black, Baili Lan groped her way down the steps, and just after walking ten steps away, the stone door behind her automatically closed, isolating the wind and grass outside.
Listening carefully to the movement inside, without a sound, Bai Lilan took out a night pearl wrapped in black flannel from his arms and walked forward with light. The arch mound is cold, with stone walls on both sides, and occasional water droplets slip from the cracks in the stones, making a "ticking" sound. From the outside, the arch mound is round, and the distance between horizontal and vertical is not far. But when Baili Lan was in it, he found that the semi-arc building above was just a spiral staircase descending, and this was the real secret base of the Tang Gate.
After walking for nearly half an hour, Baili Lan saw a corner in front of him, and after turning the corner, the inside suddenly opened up. In front of Baili Lan, a huge oven appeared, and under the furnace there was a blazing tongue of fire that continued to spray and shoot out waves of heat. Blocking her face with her hand, Bai Lilan squinted slightly, thinking that this thing should be the furnace that Tang Linghan said. Then around here, there should be notes on alchemy. Turning her gaze, Baili Lan looked for a place to put her notes, but circled around twice and found nothing. Just as she was about to retreat and look somewhere else, her sensitive touch made her realize that someone behind her was staring at her, like a cheetah on the grassland.
The corners of her mouth hooked, and Bai Lilan dodged behind the furnace, avoiding the gaze, and at the same time put away the Night Pearl, holding her breath. After less than half an hour, Baili Lan felt a sudden gust of wind behind him, so he casually threw the fire fold as a hidden weapon, and the other party really hit the trick, dodged away, and at the same time attacked in the direction of Bai Lilan. The martial arts of the comer are not weak, and the moves are tough, and he has the style of a general. However, although Bai Lilan couldn't compare to the other party in terms of physical strength, her scheming was definitely better than that person. Rolling her eyes, Baili Lan smiled indifferently, and then threw the Night Pearl out. Because of the experience of the past, the man no longer acted rashly, but the rolling night pearl broke away from the black velvet wrap, revealing a dazzling light, and also exposed the two people who were hiding from each other. Bai Lilan, who had already prepared, took a step faster than the other party, walked around behind the man, raised his short blade and swung it over. And the opponent reacted very quickly, dodged a blow, and braked with movement, and the move was extremely fast. In the process of the competition, Bai Lilan found that there were scattered pills on the ground, so he guessed that this person should have come to the Tang Sect to steal the antidote, looking at the mess, it was easy to guess that he did not find what he was looking for. It's just that it's not a way to keep fighting like this, Bai Lilan's physical strength can't compare to that person, if you want to win, you can only go off the rails.
His eyes sank, Bai Li Lan stepped forward, and brought his soft chest close to the past, and sure enough, the man was like an electric shock, and hurriedly retreated, and this was exactly what Bai Li Lan's plan was, took a few steps back, and said: "Hero, you and I have come to this arch mound for the same purpose, why bother with each other, it is better to find each other." If you stay here for a few more moments, there will be more danger, so it is better to go back to your life as soon as possible. ”
When the man heard Baili Lan's voice, he was first shaken, and then looked at her in disbelief and nodded slowly.
Seeing that the other party had retracted, Bai Lilan also took back the dagger, pretending to be looking for it on the furnace, and said strangely: "This thing is really weird, there is not a gap, how can you add medicinal herbs to it?" ”
The man deliberately lowered his voice and asked hoarsely, "You are also here to find medicine?" ”
"Well, yes. I don't know what the hero is looking for, maybe I can help the hero. ”
