Chapter 102: The Road to the Eye
In the upper forest, in the Huixian Pavilion.
"Lord Fan, this is a twenty-year-old wine in the cellar of the small shop, how can you taste it?"
After hearing that Xue Tianyuan and Li Lingsong had a big match, the shopkeeper of Huixian Pavilion immediately came to the private room where Su Xing was located, and stepped forward to toast with great hospitality.
He bent down and drank the wine in the cup, and his attitude became more and more respectful: "In the future, Lord Fan, please take care of the small shop." β
"That's a must."
Su Xing smelled the aged wine offered by the shopkeeper, and couldn't help but praise: "This wine is indeed fragrant!" β
After that, he drank all the contents of the cup....
Huixian Pavilion is the largest restaurant in Shanglinli.
This Huixian Pavilion was originally not called Huixian Pavilion, but called 'Huixian Pavilion', and later changed to 'Huixian Pavilion' because the Daomen did not like the word 'immortal'.
In the private room of the restaurant.
After the shopkeeper poured drinks for Su Xing, Xue Tianyuan, and Li Lingsong, he waved his hand to recruit several graceful girls from outside.
The girls were dressed in colorful costumes and were followed by several musicians holding different musical instruments.
The shopkeeper explained: "Three adults, these are the most sought-after top cards in the Shanglin Teaching Workshop Division, and the small ones are specially recruited to the three adults..."
"Alright, alright, you go down first."
Su Xing came to this restaurant for a banquet, not just to enjoy.
Getting useful information from Xue Tianyuan and Li Lingsong was also one of the purposes of his trip, so he couldn't help but make a noise to drive people away.
Seeing that Su Xing was dissatisfied, the shopkeeper was also quite interested: "The little one will retire first, so as not to disturb the three adults..."
In the private room.
After the shopkeeper left, Su Xing raised his glass and said to Xue Tianyuan: "Brother Xue, I don't know how much you know about that door?" Can you tell me more about it? β
"This...."
Xue Tianyuan glanced at the dancers and musicians in the private room.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he smiled at Su Xing and said, "Lord Fan, let's only talk about Fengyue in the restaurant, what are the important things, let's talk about it after eating, do you think it's okay?" β
After some hints from Xue Tianyuan and Li Lingsong, Su Xingfang knew:
Daomen has stood in the southern Ganbu Continent for hundreds of years, dominating the world.
In addition to not allowing mortals to cultivate, and prohibiting the private possession of immortal cultivation techniques, the Daomen also set up 'longevity eyes' in various towns and cities to monitor the world.
In addition, Daomen is also extremely strict in its control of speech.
For example, the 'Huixian Pavilion' restaurant was forced to be renamed 'Huixian Pavilion'.
Mortals under the Daomen can only practice martial arts, and not only are they not allowed to have immortals, but they can't even talk about words related to 'immortals'.
"Shura Warrior God"
In addition, there are many rules such as "do not discuss the affairs of the Tao" and "do not discuss the Taoist", and there are countless rules.
Although the 'Shouyan' can only see images, he cannot eavesdrop on the conversations of mortals.
But in order to prevent the partition wall from having ears, people from big families such as Xue Tianyuan and Li Lingsong will only talk about Fengyue on weekdays, and will never talk about Taoism.
Who can guarantee that when you talk about the Daomen on weekdays, you will not be reported to the Inspection Department by someone with a heart?
If something really important is broken, and the taboo of the Dao Gate is violated, people will gesture to each other with their eyes, and then go to the secret room to discuss in detail.
As a result, there is also an idiom on the southern Ganbu continent, called 'road to eye'.
The fact that this gate is so cautious is that it clearly holds some big secret that is not as simple as it seems.
At the same time, this also shows that Su Xing's previous caution was right....
Neither can talk about the Daomen, Su Xing also raised his glass and smiled: "Okay, then let's drink!" β
β¦
The three of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and suddenly saw a musician in the room fall straight to the ground.
He covered his neck with his hands, and his breathing became rapid.
When the rest of the musicians and dancers saw this, they all looked panicked.
These people didn't think about saving the musician's life, but fell to the ground one after another for fear of Su Xing's identity as the three people.
Seeing this, Li Lingsong said unhappily: "What is the situation with this person?" β
In the crowd, a musician said cowardly: "Back to the adult, he should have run out of life, and he was suffocated to death because of suffocation." β
It seems that it is not uncommon to run out of life and die suddenly and violently in the upper forest.
Therefore, Li Lingsong didn't show too much shock, but just said with a look of disgust: "Hurry up and carry him away and let the shopkeeper deal with it." β
While saying this, he didn't forget to wave at the other dancers and musicians: "Why are you stopping?" Let me continue to play music and dance! β
After the words fell, there was another scene of singing and dancing in the private room.
Seeing this scene, although Su Xing did not have any expression on his face, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.
The way of this world....
He drank the aged wine from his glass and said no more.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the table became silent because of the death of the musician.
As the hosts, Li Lingsong and Xue Tianyuan did not want to make Su Xing unhappy.
Seeing that Su Xing was silent, Li Lingsong raised his glass and smiled: "Come, Lord Fan, I will toast you next, we don't need to be because of that musician...."
I don't know why.
At the moment when Li Lingsong said the word 'musician', he suddenly covered his chest and collapsed on the seat.
After a while, he came back to his senses and said with difficulty: "Someone poisoned!" There's something wrong with this meal! β
"I feel it too."
As soon as Li Lingsong's words fell, he saw Xue Tianyuan also covering his chest, and his whole body was paralyzed: "Nephew Li Xian, is this your enemy?" β
I don't know what's going on at this moment.
After hearing what Li Lingsong and Xue Tianyuan were talking about, Su Xing did the same, covered his chest and collapsed on the seat.
"Ouch, I'm poisoned, too!"
ββThe poison concocted by mortals cannot poison immortal cultivators, which is why there are no monks on Dongsheng Divine Continent who use poison.
Although Su Xing's emerald green short sword was quenched with toxins, it only had the effect of hindering the operation of spiritual power, and its cost performance was not high.
Maybe there are so few poisons that can be effective against monks, but if the killer really has the money, why not buy more talismans to fight the enemy.
Or, just buy a powerful magic weapon on your body, isn't it fragrant?
In the private room of the restaurant.
At the same time that Su Xing pretended to be poisoned.
Li Lingsong hesitated for a long time, and said to Xue Tianyuan with a confused expression: "I shouldn't have any enemies.... I haven't offended anyone lately, have I? β
"Of course you haven't offended anyone."
Seeing that Su Xing, Li Lingsong, and Xue Tianyuan were all recruited, two men and one woman walked out of the team of musicians and dancers.
The dancing female assassin smiled at Li Lingsong: "We inquired before we started, you are just a waste in the Li family.... A waste like you with a high status but nothing can be done, of course, you are your friend wherever you go, how can you make enemies with others? β
Because he is under the eaves.
Hearing what the dancing female assassin said, Li Lingsong's face was flushed with anger, but he didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction, just lay down on his seat and gasped.
The dancing girl continued: "But don't worry, just because you are a waste, our employer said that there is no need to kill you, just slaughter this old guy Xue Tianyuan!" β
With that, the dancing girl took out a dagger from between her strands and slowly walked towards Xue Tianyuan.
The warriors of the rivers and lakes are good at using poison and lime, and when they do it, they mostly use sneak attacks and stuffy sticks.
Therefore, Su Xing could see that the tip of the dagger drawn by the dancing girl was still glowing with a strange blue light from time to time, which was obviously quenched with poison.
