Chapter 52: The Plague II
The more than ten internal guards brought by Kong Yuhui at this time had already beaten all the guards of the Yu Mansion down, but fortunately they didn't kill anyone.
He raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, but few of the guards were still standing.
"Since it's Lin Xiandi's teammate, it's me who was abrupt this time, I'm so sorry. ”
His face remained unchanged, still faint, but he turned sideways and whispered a few words to an internal guard, who listened, and directly turned around and sent some broken silver to the beaten guards one by one, which was regarded as compensation.
Yu Chang smiled on his face, and he really breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xin felt a little bad in his heart at this time, and entered the room under the leadership of Shu Luoyi.
The red beaded curtain in the room is the door, and the red carpet with gold peonies is laid inside. The tables, chairs and furniture are all woven of dark brown polished unicorn wood.
It's just that there is a middle-aged woman lying on the ground with her eyes closed, and a large black mole on her forehead.
Lin Xin recognized at a glance that this was the mission goal he was looking for on this trip. He didn't remember the exact name for a moment, but just looked carefully at the woman.
By this time, the subject had fallen into a coma, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his face was pale.
"The pupils have dilated, but they are not dead, and I don't know what is going on. Shu Luoyi frowned.
Lin Xin looked at this person's appearance, and suddenly remembered the appearance of the fried pancake grandmother he had seen before, and the two were extremely similar.
He couldn't help but be startled, and turned his head to look at Kong Yuhui.
Sure enough, Kong Yuhui's face was solemn at this time, his brows were tightly locked, and he shook his head slightly at him.
"Brother Xian, this matter is difficult to do"
"What do you say?" Lin Xin didn't speak, but Shu Luoyi asked first.
Kong Yuhui shook his head and just looked at Lin Xin.
"Brother Xian, it seems that you can't avoid it, and it is inconvenient for me to participate in this matter, but the fifteen foreign masters under my command here can all be handed over to you. ”
He paused.
"I'm sorry about this, I'm sorry. ”
"It's fine. Lin Xin didn't force him to tell the inside story, "You have your difficulties." ”
"I suggest that you take this person directly back to the sect and hand it over to the people above to deal with. Kong Yuhui said softly, "Of course, this is just a suggestion. ”
"How can you just go back like this?" Shu Luoyi said coldly, "You don't want to have more lives, so why don't you leave?"
Kong Yuhui was stunned for a moment, looked at Shu Luoyi, then frowned, bowed his hand to Lin Xinyi, and turned to leave.
Lin Xin was also puzzled, but since Kong Yuhui had left people to help him, it was obvious that he was indeed unspeakably troubled, and he was not reluctant.
After Kong Yuhui left, among the fifteen horizontal training masters, the first one stepped forward and hugged Lin Xin's fist.
"Wang Meng listens to the orders of the prince!"
"You go out first. We check the inspection situation. Lin Xin nodded.
"Yes. ”
When everyone went out, Lin Xin turned to look at Shu Luoyi and Yu Chang.
"What the hell is going on?"
Yu Chang hurriedly told the cause and effect, and only now did he know in his heart that one of these two people was a friend of Kong Yuhui, and the other had a deep background, neither of which he could afford to provoke, so he simply put his attitude very low.
It turned out that as soon as the two separated from Lin Xin, they began to send people to the area where the task had been mentioned, but found that the person had already run away, and in the following days, the two relied on the people of Yufu to search everywhere, but they couldn't find a trace, and it wasn't until yesterday that the whereabouts of this person were discovered, but as soon as they found her, they saw her lying on the ground unconscious.
"I guess that this Duan Qi is probably in the midst of being hunted down, so he has to quickly change his position, otherwise he won't leave without waiting for someone from the sect to come to pick him up. Shu Luoyi said seriously.
"It's possible. Lin Xin nodded, "I asked my friend, and he didn't want to talk about anything about the epidemic in the city. I suspect that this Duan Qi is probably related to the epidemic in the city. ”
"Epidemic?" Yu Chang's face changed, "You mean that this epidemic occurs for a while every year, is there some shady inside story?"
Lin Xin didn't say much, but took out a grievance talisman from his waist pouch.
"I was carrying this with me and saw a man who had died of a plague with a very strange bee coming out of his ear. ”
"Bees?" Shu Luoyi was stunned for a moment, and then her face became a little strange.
"It's a bee with six wings and two legs. ”
When Shu Luoyi heard this, her face became even more strange.
She looked left and right, as if to make sure anyone was eavesdropping.
"If I'm not mistaken"
She quickly took out a high-grade resentment talisman from her arms, this kind of talisman paper can only be accessed during the qi refining period, and it is generally impossible to get it without a background.
After injecting the internal qi, the high-grade resentment talisman suddenly burned slowly.
Under the puzzled eyes of the two, she snapped the talisman paper on Duan Qi's forehead on the ground.
"Wait a minute. ”
Lin Xin faintly guessed what would happen in his heart.
Sure enough, in less than half a minute, a six-winged bee stained with blood slowly crawled out of Duan Qi's ear hole.
Novice Lin shook his sword and was about to draw his sword, but was blocked by Shu Luoyi.
"Don't do it!"
Yu Chang also quickly stopped drawing his sword.
Shu Luoyi found a piece of woolen paper for practicing calligraphy from the desk in the room, and also pasted an ordinary resentment charm on his back, and flicked it to make it burn.
Then, she covered the bees that had just crawled out of the ground and wrapped them in paper packets rolled up with paper.
"As long as you seal it with a steady stream of resentment charms, you can maintain it for a day and a night. Let's ask about this Duan Qi's situation first. ”
Lin Xin took out a Ganlin talisman, injected internal qi and slapped it on Duan Qi's body.
This talisman paper is really easy to use, and when the Ganlin talisman is halfway burned, Duan Qi slowly wakes up. But she looked sluggish, as if she had been eaten by the bees a little silly.
"Huang Ji Huang Ji Clothing Store" Duan Qi kept muttering and repeating a word.
"What? What did you say?" Shu Luoyi leaned over and listened carefully.
"Huang Ji Clothes Store" Duan Qi looked sluggish, obviously stupid.
"Huang Ji clothing store? He seems to be talking about this. Yu Chang repeated.
"Do you know this place?" Lin Xin looked at him.
"If we are not mistaken, Huang Ji Clothing Store should be the largest clothing store at the gate of the north of the city. It seems that no other clothing store in Peacock City dares to use this name. Yu Chang explained.
"Ask her again, what else will she say?" Lin Xin looked at Shu Luoyi.
The latter nodded, and continued to approach Duan Qi to ask questions. only to find that Duan Qi's eyes were wide open, his mouth was open and motionless, and he actually lost his breath.
"This" Yu Chang was a little dumbfounded.
Shu Luoyi didn't say a word, went up directly to search his body, and found a strange blood-colored copper coin on Duan Qi's body.
This copper coin is different from ordinary copper coins, not only its color is blood red, but the pattern on the top is not engraved with the Song dynasty number, but four characters.
"Money for four. Shu Luoyi picked it up and looked at it.
"What is this?" Lin Xin asked puzzled.
"What's the homonym?" said Shu Luo casually without raising his head.
"Dead man's money?" Lin Xin suddenly understood.
"Let's go, go to Huang Kee Garment Store, the clue here is broken. Shu Luoyi said calmly.
"Shouldn't we go back to the sect directly to report it?" Yu Chang was a little weak.
"If you're afraid, get out. Shu Luoyi said impatiently. "Cowering, what did you do?"
"Me"
"What are you looking for?" Lin Xin looked directly at Shu Luoyi.
Unexpectedly, Shu Luoyi showed a mysterious smile.
"If you're brave enough, I've got a great opportunity to give you. I'm afraid you won't dare to do it. ”
Lin Xin's heart moved.
"What chance?"
Yu Chang also showed interest on his face and listened attentively.
"It's a good thing that allows me to wait for a straight entry into the innate good. It's not just such a big scene, maybe the effect will be even stronger!"
A hint of discoloration flashed in Shu Luoyi's eyes.
North of the city, Wong Kee Garment Store.
The tattered gray and white double-story building stood quietly in front of Lin Xin and the others.
The plaque hanging above the door is crooked to the side, and the four big characters of 'Huang Ji Clothing' are faintly visible.
The sky was dark, and the clothes shop was lonely and closed on all sides, and white silk could be seen hanging everywhere around it, and white paper money was everywhere on the ground.
With the sound of the wind, the paper money suddenly rolled and flew.
The sides of the garment shop were filled with piles of construction debris, mud, sand, bricks and earth mixed with broken log pillars, and dirty and tattered fabrics could be faintly seen inside.
"This is the Huang Ji Garment Shop?" Shu Luoyi wondered. "Yu Chang, you can't be leading the wrong way, right?" she clutched the paper bag in her hand and held the hilt of her sword with one hand.
"Absolutely not!" Yu Chang affirmed categorically, "I used to come here to make clothes when I was a child, and I definitely didn't take the wrong way." It was fine for the first few years. ”
"Maybe it's a disease. Shu Luoyi saw the white silk hanging next to the garment store and guessed.
At this moment, an old beggar in tattered clothes came over with a smile and a grin across the garment shop.
"Hehe, if you want to know about this store, I can tell you about it. ”
"You're clever. Shu Luoyi covered her nose with some disgust and threw a little bit of a large copper coin to him.
Lin Xin and Yu Chang also gave some big copper coins and threw them into the broken bowl he was carrying.
"Hey, hey, thank you, thank you. The old beggar shook the broken bowl and burst into laughter.
"Say it. What's going on with this garment shop?" Yu Chang also couldn't stand the smell emanating from this guy's body, and hurriedly asked.
"Speaking of this Huang Ji clothing store, we have to start with a strange incident that came out a few years ago. The old beggar looked mysteriously left and right, and lowered his voice.
"What's weird?" Shu Luoyi frowned.
"That is, it has been rumored that the clothes in this garment shop are like human beings, and they can move," said the old beggar in a hoarse and numbing voice.
"In the middle of the night, a set of clothes in the garment shop will move around by itself, as if there is some invisible person who is free to move around in them."
