Chapter 409: Asking for Help
readx;
Nie Qingqing smiled and said, "So the living dead are not a panacea for longevity, but a cage for imprisoning souls. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info”
Wei Hongqiong didn't answer, but she had already recognized Nie Qingqing's words from her heart, and at this moment, Han Chuang said, "You mean to say that that madman is the living dead?"
Nie Qingqing nodded and said: "Yes, his face is as pale as snow, his body temperature is like ice, coupled with his strange behavior, combined with Qi Yuan's statement, there is no doubt that he should be a living dead." ”
Han Chuang frowned, looked at Qi Yuan, and said, "But why did he kidnap Jiang Xue because of the sound of the piano?"
Chop Yuan shook his head, signaling that he didn't know.
"I don't live here, and I haven't had any contact with him, so—" What he meant was obvious.
Relax the madman, even if it is because it is a blood relative, Cho Yuan still inevitably feels guilty at this moment, you must know that this is not a trivial matter, but a big thing, even at this moment, Han Chuang and they want to ask the teacher for guilt, he has no complaints, but Han Chuang has no intention of asking for guilt, he looks very calm, calm and incredible.
Han Chuang smiled, patted Cho Yuan's shoulder, and comforted: "You should have told me earlier, I told me earlier, I wouldn't have used that method." ”
Chop Yuan opened his mouth, but he didn't open his mouth after all, but his fists were clenched under him. If it were possible, he would not have wanted it to turn out like this, with relatives on one side and friends on the other, and he was caught in the middle.
And Han Chuang's attitude was like the last straw that bent the scale, he stared into Han Chuang's eyes and said in a low voice: "I will find Miss Lin, I will definitely bring her back intact." ”
Han Chuang smiled: "This is not your business alone. ”
Chop Yuan said: "It was my mistake, and it should be made up by me personally." ”
Han Chuang shook his head and said, "Are you his opponent?"
"It's not. Chop Yuan shook his head, the result seemed to be obvious, the three of them relied on the power of the formation to trap a poisoned madman, what if it was in his heyday? What if there was only Chop Yuan? The result would probably be reversed.
Han Chuang smiled slightly: "Does he still have you?"
Chop Yuan's body trembled, and he said in a low voice: "I don't know." ”
Obviously, the madman has already denied his six relatives, maybe there are still some vague influences left in his mind, but after all, he can't help him recognize anyone, this, Cho Yuan is almost certain.
When he was just now, he kept his hands everywhere, but the madman didn't keep his hands once, and almost every time, he did his best.
Nie Qingqing answered, "Then what should we do now?"
Han Chuang said: "Fortunately, although he escaped, we still have twelve hours to go, and within twelve hours, the toxins will stay in his body, I'm afraid that his true qi is already empty at this moment, just a strong ordinary." After a pause, Han Chuang said again: "In this way, we will divide into several groups, Qingqing and I will go east, Cho Yuan and Senior Sister will go west, Ding Ding you and Zhang Xiaolin will go to the south, Miss Wei and Brother Jin will go to the north, Lotus You stay in the center to search, each of you will bring a signal flare with you, once you find the trace of the madman, launch it immediately, if you haven't found it in twelve hours, you will go back here to gather." ”
"Got it. The crowd nodded.
Although Han Chuang's proposal was troublesome, it was a good solution, before their carpet search was ineffective, because the strength of the madman was much higher than theirs, if he wanted to hide his body, it was an easy matter; at this moment, he had lost his true qi, and he was no different from ordinary people, and the chances of finding him were greatly increased.
The signal flares distributed by Liu Qingfu for everyone, everyone didn't say much, and immediately searched in the established direction, Han Chuang and Nie Qingqing went to the east, the east was the dense forest in the oasis, the ancient wood forest, the branches and leaves coiled on the top of the head, forming a thin and dense net, and the light of the morning glow could only pass through some fragments and fall to the ground, like a beam of starlight.
Not long after the two left, Nie Qingqing asked, "What can you do?"
Han Chuang smiled: "How does Qingqing know that I have a way?"
Nie Qingqing smiled: "I don't know what you think? It's just to separate everyone." ”
"Those who know me are also young. Han Chuang laughed, and with a flick of his right hand, he saw the teleportation talisman in his palm flashing with golden light, "Don't forget, we have people who know the most about the Linglong Pagoda, maybe they can solve our doubts." ”
"What doubts?" Nie Qingqing's eyes flashed, revealing a sly light.
"Qingqing, you asked knowingly. Han Chuang smiled: "I just want to know the identity of that madman." ”
Nie Qingqing said narrowly: "Isn't he the father of Qi Yuan? ”
Han Chuang shook his head and said, "It's true that he is the father of Chop Yuan, but my intuition tells me that he has another identity." ”
Nie Yu loves to drink.
He has always loved to drink, especially after he is blind. He wanted to drink in well-known restaurants and low roadside stalls. The most ordinary wine he drank was sometimes not as good as ordinary, but he was happy to eat it.
Especially after he became blind, every morning he would come to the corner of the city that never sleeps, where there was a liquor shop, a man who was a man who was also the owner and the master of winemaking, and a man who could only make rice wine.
The wine is not a good wine, it is a little sour in the mouth, a little bitter when swallowed, and the sweetness that has not been seen in the bitterness, according to the winemaker: I make sour and bitter wine.
Ordinary people never like sour and bitter wine, even the chivalrous people of the rivers and lakes can hardly bear the taste, so the business of the wine shop is very poor, and it becomes the most noisy time on the street at night, and it is rare to have a few people, most of them come to taste this bitter wine, and they will not come a second time after drinking.
It's daytime, early in the morning, the coldest time in the city that never sleeps, and the tiredness caused by the noise at night has just fermented at this moment, and there is no one on the street, let alone this wine shop that should have been deserted, only Nie Yuxin is alone.
He was drinking, glass after glass, just as this bitter wine would never get drunk, and it was also true, bitter wine was not intoxicating, it only made people more sober.
It was not hot in the morning, the heat did not rise, the cold did not fall, and the bitter wine became colder and colder the more I drank.
After a glass of wine, Nie Yuxin suddenly shuddered, and reached out to find a few taels of silver from his waist.
"Boss, check out. ”
Although there are people with names and surnames in the city that never sleeps, Nie Yuxin never pays his bills, even if he doesn't have a copper plate on him, he will pay the bill with silver.
"Ten pots of wine, three coins in total. ”
Ten pots of wine are a lot, enough to make people drunk, but three coins of silver are very little, and they are too lazy to bend down to pick them up when they arrive at the door of officials and nobles, this is an unequal transaction, at least in Nie Yuxin's opinion.
However, he did not intend to break the established trading pattern, he still only gave three dollars, not more than one cent, no less, and the boss only collected three dollars, one cent is not much, one cent is not less.
Nie Yuxin paid the money, but did not leave, still sitting at the wine table, and smiled at the boss: "Mr. Niu, your wine is good, it's time to increase the price." ”
It turned out that the surname of this guy, the owner and the master of the brewery, was Niu. Cow is not a good surname, many times, it represents a kind of livestock, even if it is used in a surname, it also gives people a rustic feeling, maybe at least a rough person.
And this Mr. Niu looks like fine skin and tender meat, he is not young, about fifty years old, there are not many wrinkles on his face, but it is not less, about the level of ordinary people, he is slightly fat, not thin, not like a ball like a fat man, probably just an ordinary figure that lacks exercise; not tall, even in the southeast region where the average height is not high, it also belongs to the category of short people, of course, if it is compared to the dwarf, it is still not tall.
He is an ordinary person, and his strength is also very ordinary, about the early stage of Huayuan, such strength in the wine shop outside, maybe he can also become a wine table overlord, but in the city that never sleeps, he can only be regarded as the bottom character, but he does not have the consciousness of the bottom character at all, in the face of Nie Delusion's questioning, he said coldly: "There is no one in the first place, and if you want to raise the price, isn't there even more no one?"
Nie Delusion smiled and said: "It is precisely because there is no one that the price should be raised; those who like this wine will drink it no matter how much it is, and those who don't like this wine will pour it out even if they give it to him." ”
Mr. Niu smiled and said, "It's the first time I've heard of this theory, it's a little interesting, it seems that the price is going to be raised, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Mr. Niu was not restrained by Nie's delusional superiority, nor was he despised because he was blind, his attitude towards him was like treating an ordinary person, not intimate, but by no means bad, but at this moment there was a little more intimacy in his tone.
Nie Yuxin smiled slightly and said, "How is the daughter?"
Qianjin is a huge number, such as these ten pots of bitter wine, only need three coins of silver, compared to Qianjin, it is simply insignificant. If someone else brought up this number, Mr. Niu must have thought that he was looking for his own happiness, but this was said by Nie Yuxin, so he couldn't help but think about it.
"Is it expensive?" he said.
Nie Yuxin laughed, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, I said, people who like this wine don't care about the price of the wine, people who don't like this wine don't care about the price of the wine, people who have never drunk this wine come to taste it because of the price of the daughter, and those who have never heard of this wine will hear the legend about it because of the daughter, so this wine that no one drinks, the more expensive it sells, the better." ”
Mr. Niu was slightly stunned, and he also understood Nie Yuxin's thoughts, and said with a smile: "What about you, the elder of the Evil Moon Sect, the more expensive the sell, the better?"
Obviously, Mr. Niu heard some rumors, and this rumor was obviously not conducive to Nie Yuxin, Mr. Niu was a nosy person, but Nie Yuxin was one of the few drinkers in the wine shop after all, so he said so.
"Expensive?" Nie Yuxin smiled and said, "Do you think the old man is expensive?"
Mr. Niu shook his head, pointed to the wine on the table, and said, "Just like this wine, just because it is made of rice and yeast, it is the worst wine, and three coins and silver are too much, let alone a thousand gold." ”
Mr. Niu's meaning is obvious, it is to let Nie Yuxin recognize his identity, maybe a few months ago, he was not blind in his eyes, and when he trusted Sikong Blood, it was the kind of wine that was worth a thousand gold, but at this moment, he was blind, and he lost the trust of Sikong Blood, and naturally became the most inserted rice wine, obviously rice wine is not worth a thousand gold, if you have to buy a thousand gold, it will only make people laugh.
Although Nie Yuxin's eyes are blind, his heart is bright, but he obviously disagrees with Mr. Niu's words: "Even if a glass of the worst and worst wine, as long as it is priced for a thousand gold, someone will definitely come to drink it, maybe someone will scold, but more people will praise the unfathomable nature of this wine, because they have not tasted anything special at all, but when they think of the price of a thousand gold, they will think that it is not that the wine is bad, but that they have a bad taste." ”
Mr. Niu smiled and said, "But year after year, they will eventually recognize it." If there is a deep gaze at Nie delusion.
Nie Yuxin shook his head and said in a low voice: "Even if you can recognize it, it's not now, at least the wine is still worth a thousand gold now, isn't it?"
As the two spoke, a white figure appeared on the street, which was particularly eye-catching in the empty street.
Mr. Niu couldn't help but watch this white shadow slowly approach.
This is a monk, a bald monk, wearing a moon-white monk's robe, with indescribable compassion between his eyebrows. In order to get closer, I listened to him sing: "The way of the world, bitter and bitter, monks through the streets and alleys, bitter, begging for a glass of wine but can't, bitter, if you want to forget to cry, you can't do it." ”
Nie Yuxin laughed.
There is only one monk in this world who will replace Amitabha Buddha with non-monk, because that is his Dharma name, and it is his life creed.
However, his voice is not outstanding, and his speech is acceptable, but when it comes to rapping, it is impossible to do it.
Even Nie Yuxin felt that the only person in the world who could sing such an ugly voice was a monk.
Mr. Niu's eyes were sharp, and he observed the change in Nie Yuxin's expression, and couldn't help asking, "Your friend?"
"It's not. Nie's answer was quick and simple.
At this time, the monk walked into the wine shop, and when he heard Nie Yuxin's words, he smiled slightly and replied, "It's really not." ”
Mr. Niu smiled awkwardly and said, "Please take a seat, guest officer." He pointed to another table. In his opinion, if the two know each other, then there can only be two relationships, either friends or enemies, even if both of them admit that they are not friends, then they must be enemies.
Mr. Niu couldn't help but think: "These two people are indifferent, I'm afraid they are both calculating how to kill each other in their hearts." ”
Mr. Niu had good intentions to separate them, but the monk said, "It's okay, I'll sit with him." ”
Mr. Niu glanced at Nie Yuxin hesitantly, and saw that he was just smiling and didn't say anything, so he put his mind at ease and said, "Then please come here." ”
Mr. Niu led the monk to the opposite side of Nie Delusion, and then said respectfully: "What do you want to eat for the guest officer? I have everything here and from the south to the north." ”
Mr. Niu is not very good at wine, but the dishes are excellent, and all kinds of dishes can be easily obtained in his hands, but he has always been reluctant to recognize his status as a chef, but this does not negate the fact that his dishes are delicious.
In fact, at this point, he has a lot of fame.
"No," the monk refused Mr. Niu's request, which made Mr. Niu confused, you must know that he doesn't cook often, even if someone pays a lot of money, he may not be able to do it, it is rare to do it today, it is also for the sake of Nie's delusion, but the monk refuses him.
The monk said, "Bring me two pots of wine, bitter wine." ”
"Oh. Mr. Niu was stunned, and quickly took out two jugs of wine from behind the counter and put them on the table.
The monk smiled and said to Nie Yuxin, "Have you drunk too much?"
Nie said in a delusional heart: "I won't get drunk." ”
The monk said, "Then drink a little more." ”
Nie said in a delusional heart: "No problem. He picked up a pot of wine and poured it down.
The monk shook his head, followed his example, and poured it down. The sour taste rippled in the mouth, then in the throat, and finally in the stomach.
"Good wine. The monk praised, "Sour enough, bitter enough, this is the taste of wine." He looked a little unsatisfied.
Nie Yuxin shook his head and said, "What's the matter with me?"
The monk smiled and said, "Can't I come to you if it's okay?"
Nie Yuxin smiled: "Of course you can, but you must have something to do today." ”
The monk said, "Can you guess what's going on?" As he spoke, he poured another sip of wine.
Nie Yuxin frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "They are in trouble. ”
"Big trouble. The monk restrained his smile, "Have you ever heard of the living dead?"
"It's the kind of thing that throws souls into strange treasures in order to live forever?" a sneering look appeared on his face, "How could you not have heard of it, it is a bunch of crazy people." ”
"Powerful madman. "Don't be a monk worried," Han Chuang met such a powerful madman. ”
Nie Yuxin raised his eyebrows and said, "In the Linglong Pagoda?"
The monk shook his head and said, "Outside the tower." ”
Nie Yuxin frowned and said, "You shouldn't have come to me." ”
The monk looked puzzled and said, "Then who to go to?"
"Huding Mountain. Nie Yuxin gave the name in his mind without hesitation.
The monk frowned, and said in a low voice: "What's the use of looking for Hu Dingshan?"
Nie Yuxin shook his head and said, "If I guess correctly, this living dead must be from the Hu family." ”
"What do you mean?" the monk thought of what Hu Dingshan had said.
Nie Yuxin nodded and said: "There are not many people in this world who know the refining method of the living dead, and there are even fewer families who have the ability to refine it, and in the entire Southeast Region, except for the Evil Moon Sect, I am afraid that only the Hu family has a record of refining methods." ”
Monk Bu shook his head and said, "But the Hu family will definitely not do this." ”
Nie Delusion smiled and said, "The Hu family will not, and the people who leave the Hu family will not." ”
The monk was shocked, glanced left and right, and saw Mr. Niu standing at the counter, as if he was unconscious, so he lowered his voice and said, "What do you mean?"
Nie said in a delusional heart: "Don't forget that Hu Dingshan has an elder brother, and that brother once sentenced the family for a woman. ”
Hu Dingshan was sighing in his small courtyard in the city that never sleeps, for the simple reason that today was the anniversary of his succession as the patriarch of the family, and also the commemoration of his resignation as patriarch;
The initiator is his eldest brother, Hu Dingyang.
He doesn't hate Hu Dingyang, everyone has the right to choose their own life, and he doesn't hate Hu Dingyang for bringing a woman of unknown origin home during the succession ceremony, and he doesn't even care that Hu Dingyang coerced him to take out the map of the periphery of the Linglong Pagoda.
All he hated was that Hu Dingyang never heard from him again, not at all. It's like a stone sinking into the sea, and he doesn't even know if his eldest brother is still alive.
