Chapter 8: Good and Evil
Just as he was about to start, he saw a green light suddenly rise from Zhang San and Li Er's bodies, and then a stream of red and green gas came out of the corpses of the two. In an instant, Zhang San and Li Er had turned into ashes.
The red and green qi rushed towards Zheng Fan, Xiao Er, and the shopkeeper.
Xiao Er and the shopkeeper were wrapped in red and green qi, unable to move, their eyes were wide open, covering their throats, unable to speak. The seven orifice began to bleed. Two or three breaths of effort, like that Zhang Sanli Er, turned to ashes and disappeared from this world forever.
The moment the strange gas was about to touch Zheng Fan, I saw that Zheng Fan's body flashed with golden light, and the red and green gas dissipated into nothingness.
It turned out that Zhang San Li Er and the two of them had the poison of the tree demon, and the so-called poison was actually a drop of the tree demon's body fluid. Urged by demon magic, lurking in the bodies of the two, and being fed by their breath of life.
When the two of them die, the demon liquid will automatically explode, and the thousand-year-old demon is approaching the transformation period, how can the shopkeeper and Xiao Er, two mortals, resist it?
Because Zheng Fan was born a sage, the demon magic under the transformation period was ineffective against him, so he escaped a catastrophe.
Early the next morning, Zheng Fan got up, rubbed his eyes, didn't wake up from a hangover, and raised his nose to smell: "How can you get such a foul smell?"
Lo and behold, there were four sets of clothes piled on the ground, and there was a smell of blood. His own package was also opened, but a hundred taels of silver was a lot. I was very puzzled in my heart: "That dress seems to be Zhang San and Li Er's, could it be that the two of them have suffered an accident?
I couldn't figure it out left and right, so I went out to find Zhang San and Li Er. After looking for a long time, I didn't see the two of them, but I met a guy in the store, who stepped forward and asked, "Little brother, have you ever seen those two partners who are walking with me?"
The guy saw that it was Zheng Fan and was taken aback. Yesterday, it was this guy who dragged Zheng Fan and a few people back to the house with Xiao Er, according to the previous rules, it was the shopkeeper and Xiao Er who killed people, and he went back to sleep. Unexpectedly, this Zheng Fan stood in front of him alive today.
"Ah, the little one hasn't seen your companion. ”
Zheng Fan frowned and said, "There is only one inn in this wilderness, and there is no place to play, and the two horses are still there, where can you go?"
I searched up and down the inn again, and the thatched houses were all searched, but there was no one to be seen. I was very puzzled, and I had no choice but to go back to the store, order a few plates of side dishes, and eat by myself.
Speaking of the inn, there is only a cook and a guy left, and the guy said: "The shopkeeper and the running hall did business last night, and no one has been seen until now." I secretly went to the room and looked, and there were four sets of clothes on the floor, two of which belonged to the shopkeeper and him, and two of which seemed to belong to the scholar's companions. “
The cook, a middle-aged fat man, groaned, "You said that their horses are still there, and his two companions are gone, and our shopkeeper is gone, and there are clothes and some flesh on the ground." It seems that all four of them are dead! It's just that the cause of death is strange. ”
The guy said, "But I didn't get it, I lived on that book, and there were some evil sects." If the shopkeeper said that someone killed me to the letter, over the years, there has been no less harm to people, and the relatives and friends of the unjust owner have learned the truth, and the killer who asked him to take his life has done it together with the one who ran the hall. The three scholars happened to catch up, and it is unknown that they were killed together. ”
The cook interrupted: "Have you ever seen a killer take off the other person's clothes and take away the corpse after killing someone? That's four people! Even if you use the Bone Scatter, there will be some blood stains on the ground, but as you said, only blood is smelled, and no blood is seen. ”
The man nodded and continued: "And if you kill people, why is there only that scholar left? That scholar seems to be completely different from his companions, and those two people have a ruffian and a murderous aura. On the other hand, the scholar is a Sven style. Could it be that this scholar was the eldest son of a family who was kidnapped by the two? After the family learned the letter, they asked the killer to kill both of them. It just so happened that our shopkeeper wanted to kill people and get money, and he gave the result together?"
The cook licked his lips when he heard the words and said: "I guess that's it, it's just the clothes on the ground, and the blood that only smells blood and doesn't see blood, it's difficult to explain, forget it, no matter what, the five people are in the same room, only the scholar is immortal." There must be some reason, you and I don't want to touch this mold. ”
The guy laughed and said: "Now the shopkeeper and the running hall are dead, there are only you and me left in this inn, from now on I am the shopkeeper, you are still your cook, and the monthly money has doubled, how about it?"
When the cook heard the man say this, he was reluctant: "Why are you the shopkeeper? I am five years older than you, and I should be the shopkeeper." ”
The guy patted the chopping board and said, "Your mind is not suitable to be a shopkeeper, your specialty is cooking, you think so, you are a shopkeeper, who will cook and entertain guests? I don't know how to cook, you know." ”
The cook snorted: "I am the shopkeeper, and I will go and hire another cook, and I will work with you and me, and I can grant you the position of a 'big man'." ”
The two of them quarreled, and while they were arguing, the man took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it at the cook, but the cook didn't pay attention, the dagger was in the chest socket, and the man moved the dagger left and right to aggravate the cook's injury.
The cook was wide and fat, although he was stabbed in the center, he did not die for a while, he screamed in pain, and with this pain, he held down the dagger of the man with his left hand, and copied the bull's ear sharp knife on the board with his right hand, and slashed at the guy hard, right in the neck!
The man died on the spot, the cook covered his chest, blood kept flowing, and slowly sat on the ground, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he was already a little delirious at the moment, and muttered in his mouth: "I knew this was the case, Ansheng became a cook... How nice should it be?"
After that, he died of exhaustion.
Besides, Zheng Fan, after eating the meal, went back to the house to get the package, without Zhang San and Li Er, he felt a little more at ease, although the two of them were controlled by the poison of the 'mountain god', but who knows if they would burst out to kill people and seize money? Moreover, that Zhang San was scheming, thoughtful, and a gloomy person, Zheng Fan had long wanted to get rid of them.
Fang just ordered some food, and he was also waiting, waiting for the two of them to appear, if they appeared, it would be fine, if not, Zheng Fan planned to leave alone.
Came out to untie the rope for the horses, and was just about to get on the horse, a caravan came over, and a man in the lead was dressed in a black suit, with a knife on his cheeks, a pair of peach blossom eyes, and he didn't know how many girls' hearts were hooked, and he was handsome and extraordinary. As soon as he saw Zheng Fan, his eyes were on fire in an instant, and he kicked Zheng Fan to the ground with a kick.
"Right, tie me up this horse thief!" the man drank.
