Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Plague Umbrella
In the empty corridor, the miserable white light shone alone. Two of the ship's employees were walking down the hallway with walkie-talkies in hand, and their footsteps were the only sound at this time.
Suddenly, an employee felt a small cold wind pass by his ears. He shuddered, looked back at the empty hallway, and said, "It looks like something passed by." ”
"Wouldn't it?" Another employee turned around with a flash of lightning, pulling a piece of talisman paper out of his pocket. On the yellow rune paper, the vermilion seal script lay quietly without any reaction.
The two of them squinted their eyes and looked up and down left and right, but still didn't see any movement. One hesitated and said, "Probably you...... Doesn't it feel wrong?"
"Perhaps...... bar. ”
The two of them set off again to patrol, but the footsteps couldn't help but be much heavier, and their eyes were also cramped to the left and right.
After the two of them left this corridor for a long time, a voice came out of thin air from the side: "Don't fan the wind, I was almost discovered just now." ”
“...... It's so stinky and you don't fan, what do you think?"
The speakers are naturally Mu Changli and Qingtang Tang, the goods of the Ke family are not as good as dry relatives, and they take the offshore route, which is relatively much easier to find. However, almost all of them were now transported to the ship, so the two had to make a trip to the ship.
As soon as he stepped onto the deck, Qing Tangtang immediately frowned. For some reason, there was a faint stench on the deck, and even if the sea breeze was blowing, the stench would never linger.
The reason for this was only discovered after the two entered the cabin: it turned out that the ship was carrying live pigs destined for Southeast Asia.
In order to ensure the freshness of the meat, regular companies generally adopt the method of transporting live animals directly when they are transported over long distances, and then slaughtered after transportation. Mu Changli and Qingtangtang thought of everything, but they didn't expect the Ke family to do this kind of business.
Even with a modern ventilation system, the pens are kept as clean as possible, and a whole boatload of pigs produces an unknown amount of pig manure every day. It is forbidden to discharge manure water in the offshore area, and even if it is far away, the discharge of manure water must be broken and disinfected, which means that a fecal water tank must be set up at the bottom of the ship...... How can it not stink?
So even if the two of them were using the [Liuwu Hiding Technique] to hide their bodies and move forward, Qingtang Tang did not forget to fan the wind in front of his nose with his hands - the result was that he put the fan on other people's faces and was almost discovered.
"Just bear with me, just wait until you get to the place. Mu Changli persuaded, "It's important to make trouble, I'll tell you the origin of 'Jiangcheng Ke' later." ”
According to Mu Changli, the ancestral home of the Ke family in Jiangcheng was originally a half-black and white-colored family. In the Ming Dynasty, the twelve surnames headed by their Ke family traveled between Hubei and Jiangxi, and plundered up and down along the Yangtze River basin. After robbing, kill people, and then become a water ghost after killing - this water ghost is not another water ghost, it refers to the person who fishes up the corpse. From killing to death, it gives you one-stop service, which is really intimate. Due to their erratic whereabouts, the government could not track them down.
"Guess what, how did they wash their hands and come to the magic capital. ”
"Well......" Qing Tangtang thought for a long time and didn't come up with a clue, Mu Changli had to further prompt: "Look at his name." ”
"Ming'en's name is a bit western...... Some Christians use this name. With this hint, Qingtang Tang instantly connected the threads together, "Ming Dynasty, Christian, Demon Capital - Xu Guangqi?"
"That's right. Mu Changli nodded affirmatively, "In order to develop Catholicism in the Celestial Empire, Xu Guangqi recruited many people at that time, and the Ke family also joined his disciples. Of course, after that, the Ke family honestly ran the maritime business, and Xu Guangqi could be regarded as indirectly doing a good thing. ”
It's just that there is no dime between how the ancestors were before and how Ke Mingen is now. Qingtang Tang thought for a moment, then bit his lip with his thin white teeth and asked, "'Jiang Cheng Ke' is like this, then what is the matter with your 'Yunnan Mu' he said? I seem to have heard of such a thing somewhere...... Do you know anyone with the surname Yang?"
Mu Changli snorted: "There are many people with the surname Yang in the world, and there is a muscular man surnamed Yang in our corridor." ”
"I'm not talking about those, I'm talking about 'Tianbo Yang'......" Qingtangtang wanted to continue, but Mu Changli walked straight past her, looking like he didn't hear it.
The two of them went all the way to the middle level, and the stench became stronger and stronger. Seeing that Qingtang Tang was becoming more and more impatient, Mu Changli took the initiative to explain: "From a structural point of view, the pig's water should be at the bottom. Therefore, we still need to go down again, and when the time comes, we can use the [Tainted Blood Curse] to turn all the clear water into blood. ”
"It's a good way, but you still have to go to the bottom...... Qing Tangtang's brows frowned tightly, and he couldn't bear it, "You take me to a place with a ventilation device, and look at me this time." ”
Airy?
Although Mu Changli didn't expect any suitable spells for the first time, he still took Qingtangtang to the fan in the cargo hold and pointed to the place where the air inlet was. Qingtang Tang didn't say much, and reached out and took out a pure black oil-paper umbrella from his handbag.
Seeing this pitch-black oil-paper umbrella, Mu Changli only felt a tingling in his scalp, even more shocked than when he saw the Canglong Spear Liquan just now. If he didn't admit his mistake, this umbrella should be the [Plague Umbrella] made by Maoshan Dao.
Just as the spells of the [Five Thunder Method] and [Mind Charm] will not be taught in the art school, the plague spells, although they also belong to the Aversion Sect, will not be taught. The [Five Thunder Method] is not taught because it belongs to the highest level of national defense secrets of the Celestial Empire, and the [Ecstasy Mantra] is not taught because it is easy to learn and too harmful.
In terms of the degree of harm, the plague method is better than the [Mind Charm Mantra], but in terms of difficulty in acquiring it, it is also not inferior to the [Five Thunder Method]. Besides, with the international conventions on the surface, this kind of spell has not moved much on the surface in recent years.
It's just one thing on the surface, but it's another thing secretly. Everyone restricts each other on the surface, but they must still work hard to develop inside. The Celestial Empire's best at the spell of the Disgusting Division is Maoshan Dao, and a lot of similar strange things have also been developed.
But Mu Changli really didn't expect that Qingtang Tang is spell is not enough magic weapon to make up, and he can take a plague umbrella with him. This plague umbrella is named after "Romance of the Gods", and its power is only better than that of the prototype.
So far, Qingtangtang has taken out four magic weapons from his bag: Liquan Gun, Taixu Mirror, White Eyebrow Needle, and Plague Umbrella. Except for the Dragon Spear Liquan, which is a truly priceless treasure, none of the other three is simple. The plague umbrella is a super killer, the kind that can kill a group of people immediately if you throw it into the pile.
Qingtang Tang held the plague umbrella and waved it gently, and a burst of black gas was as groggy as a gauze fog and went to the vent cover. With the help of a fan, within ten minutes, a whole boatload of pigs could be infected with the plague.
After administering the plague, Qingtang put away the umbrella, and the two quickly walked to the deck. As soon as I stepped onto the deck, the faint stench that had just been just now had become extremely strong.
"This ......" Qing Tangtang immediately covered his mouth and nose with his hand, and even stopped what he was going to say next.
Mu Changli was a little more patient, and quickly figured out the reason: "The plague is a bit too big to be turned into...... I guess it's the first symptoms of those pigs, so it's diarrhea, right?"
Qingtangtang's sense of smell is already more sensitive than Mu Changli's, and it is already painful to endure the smell. After hearing Mu Changli calmly say the topic of pig diarrhea, she couldn't bear it anymore, and with a little force on her feet under the cover of the [Liuwu Hiding Technique], the whole person rose in the air and flew towards the boat.
Mu Changli covered his face speechlessly. Although this kind of spell like flying off the ground is not the most difficult level, Qingtang Tang definitely does not have this cultivation. He could see clearly below: Qing Tangtang's feet were wearing a pair of shoes that looked like feathers, and she was able to fly, naturally because of the effect of these feather shoes.
The two reunited on the ground, and Qing Tangtang's face was really ugly at this moment. Judging from Mu Changli's experience, it would be good to take the initiative to talk about something that made her happy at this time and divert her attention a little.
"The shoes are good, they shouldn't be made in China, right? ”
Hearing Mu Changli's question, Qingtang Tang replied generously: "It was made in Kingsman of Plantagenet." As she spoke, she pulled up the corner of her skirt and made a European-style curtsy, "How does it look?"
"Hmm...... It's good-looking, and if you can wear black stockings again, it will be more leg-shaped. Qingtang Tang said this, Mu Changli was not pretentious, and then asked, "How much?" should it be worth the money, right?"
"That's six million. Speaking of the price, Qingtang Tang pulled out the plague umbrella again, and waved at Mu Changli, "This umbrella is the most expensive of all my magic weapons, and the surname Mao cost me 300 million." Fortunately, in the end, my grandfather helped me pay half of it, otherwise I would have to eat soil in those months. ”
Hearing this price, even Mu Changli, who had always been calm, couldn't help but gasp again: "It's worthy of being a plague magic weapon...... There are absolutely no 300 million in this boat of pigs, and it is really overkill to take such an expensive magic weapon. ”
"So your [Tainted Blood Spell] is a good fit. Qing Tang Tang tapped him on the shoulder with the handle of the umbrella, "The previous [Secret Cache] is also very good, there are really not many spells with such a high degree of practicality in the art school." ”
"Actually, it's still convenient for white eyebrow needles, at least it's more mana-saving. ”
Qing Tangtang pouted: "That white eyebrow needle is sixty million, [Secret Hide] should only be a B-level spell, right? ”
"A gentleman is not different, and he is good at things...... Why don't you use a magic weapon?" Mu Changli turned his head to look at the sea, and pointed to another boat not far away, "Let's go and get the next boat, there are only two boats in total, hurry up and rest in time for the night." ”
Now Qingtang Tang was unwilling, she said that she would not get on the transport ship full of the smell of feces anymore - especially after the plague was administered. Seeing that she refused to let go no matter what, Mu Changli had no choice but to retreat: "Since you refuse to go up, then the plague umbrella will be used by me, and I will go up to the plague." ”
"Don't even think about it. Qingtang Tang glanced at Mu Changli obliquely, turned half of his body, and Shi Shiran put the plague umbrella into his handbag, "Let you bring it up again, maybe the smell can't be wiped off." ”
"I'm plus. ”
"Don't even think about it. ”
Mu Changli thought about it for a while, and continued to increase: "In addition to [Secret Hide], I also have a technique that you haven't seen before, and the cost performance is also super high, I guarantee you like it." ”
"That's not going to work either. Qing Tangtang rolled his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Or ...... I'll give you swine fever, and if you get on the boat again, you won't be able to spread it. ”
"Ahem...... Mu Changli can be regarded as having seen what it means to be the most poisonous woman's heart, "Infection is a slow job, not to mention that I have to go into the pig pen to roll, and when the sky is dawn after rolling, the success rate may not be guaranteed." Do you still want to fix that surname Ke?"
"Then ......" This time Qingtang Tang thought for a long time and couldn't come up with any good way, and finally reluctantly handed the plague umbrella to Mu Changli, who just reached out to take it, but she retracted a few points, and her eyes flashed vigilantly: "Won't it stink for me?"
"No, it won't. ”
"Make sure you don't stink and don't touch those pigs. ”
"No, I'll go straight to the fan room. ”
"Come out straight when you're done, and don't touch your stinky hands again. ”
"Yes, yes. Mu Changli agreed, but thought in his heart: That's ...... I can't help you.
