73. A meal is as fierce as a tiger, and the result is... Not bad
After the affairs of the academy stabilized a little, Xia Yan began to immediately start looking for the "toxin".
For him, "toxin" is not only a cultivation resource, but also a core item to improve the luck of "poison thinking people".
If the level of "poison thinking people" can be raised to a higher level, then... Maybe as long as he sits in the barren mountains and mountains, those "resources" will come to him one after another.
It's a sight to behold.
However, now all he has is this little widow...
And following the little widow's message, he came to the Golden Scale Workshop.
The little widow was bait, and he sensed it from afar.
"Since there is that lost incense, there must be other toxins, right?
I hope this trip is worthwhile, otherwise... We'll have to figure it out again. β
Xia Yan sat cross-legged calmly, within five miles, as long as he concentrated on perceiving, the picture of that place would come into his mind, unless it was a closed door, it would not be able to enter.
At this time, he watched the little widow wander in terror in the alleyway.
Apparently the little widow was really panicking.
He can understand, if it were him, maybe he would be panicked, who can guarantee that the strong man really cares about himself?
However, he just wants the little widow to panic, not panic, how can he be bait?
Soon, Xia Yan found a strange spot againββββ the patrol during the day was gone, and there was no ambush.
"Isn't this the fourth princess of the palace missing? Shouldn't it be watched day and night? What causes patrols without surveillance? β
Whew...
Xia Yan sensed a sudden movement, followed the sound and locked his gaze, only to see a corpse lying in a small alley in the corner of the Golden Scale Workshop.
The door next to the alley was opening, and two hands reached out from the door, quickly dragging the body into the door, and then quickly closing.
Before he could check further, there was already a scream from the little widow's side.
She wanted to run out of the Golden Scale Workshop, but suddenly saw two black shadows blocking in front of her.
She turned around, and there were two dark shadows behind her.
The little widow looked frightened and shouted in surprise: "My Xiaohong is missing, did you take my Xiaohong away?" Isn't it? β
The four dark shadows smiled evilly.
In the dead of night, the other party doesn't seem to even be poisoned.
While the little widow turned her head, a black shadow flew forward.
Syllable!
A knife struck the little widow in the back of the neck.
The little widow fainted.
The man lifted his hood and said with a smile: "When I saw this figure, I knew it was a beauty, but I didn't expect it to be true." β
Another said: "Who is Xiaohong?" β
"I'm afraid it's not a beautiful woman who was captured by us before, right? I didn't expect to be able to catch one and get one free. This stupid woman wanted to find her lost relatives in the middle of the night, but she didn't expect to take herself on the same page. β
"Don't say, this woman looks extravagant and coquettish, why don't we be refreshed?"
"No, the goods must be sent to the first grade, and there must be no defects. You really want to enjoy it, pay for the silver to go to the Qinglou Goulan, where do you not get it? β
As the four of them spoke, they carried the fainted little widow and turned into a certain alleyway.
In the alley, another door opened sadly, welcoming the four of them in.
Xia Yan's divine sense also followed in and saw the scene behind the door.
He watched the scene in silence.
The little widow's performance added a little to his impression of this woman.
However, a simple sentence directly dispelled the other party's suspicions.
Moreover, it was a choice made in a state of extreme fear.
In other words, even if the little widow didn't know that she was still there, she still gambled everything on "his" side when it came to life and death, and at the same time tried to prove her worth.
"Although it's a little sick, but when it comes to the critical moment, it can still be carried clearly, and it won't drop the chain..."
Xia Yan secretly commented in his heart, and then his body moved, turned into a demon, and appeared directly behind the door of the alley.
The four men in black continued to carry the little widow through the patio and into the pavilion inside.
Xia Yan continued to follow.
In the pavilion, the candle flame is faint, illuminating the cold iron cages.
But these cages are not pets, not beasts, but beauties.
The beauties are like a secret medicine and are sleeping in it.
A man in black opened an empty cage and put the little widow inside, while pulling out a small bottle from his bosom and pulling the stopper for her to sniff.
The little widow straightened her legs and seemed to sleep more deeply, the kind of heaviness that "no matter who does anything to her, she will never wake up".
The man in black smiled and said, "No matter who you were in the past, it will have nothing to do with the past in the future, hehe..."
Syllable.
The cold cage was tightly closed, but it was unlocked, and it was clear that the man in black was confident in the efficacy of the drug.
Then the four of them quietly went out of the door again, and continued to lie on the crack of the door, looking out.
In the dark, Xia Yan rummaged for a while, but found no "poison".
Standing in the darkness, he continued to let go of the perceptual area, exploring all the movement around him.
A minute passed...
Two minutes passed...
...
After the small half-burnt incense time...
Click!
An inaudible sound came from underground.
"There's a secret room."
Xia Yan naturally made a judgment.
He tinkered with it for a long time, but he didn't find any of them.
In fact, if you show up and slam your feet with force, the ground will crack open and the secret room will be found.
Or, he could just go out and grab the man in black and ask about the whereabouts of the "poison".
However, it doesn't make sense, it's stupid, at least not yet.
Without patience, it's easy to lose more than you gain.
Xia Yan was patient.
Time flies, time flies...
An hour later...
Click!
In the darkness, a stone staircase suddenly opened, and a figure walked out holding a candle flame in the middle of it.
This is a fat woman, a well-known local tooth woman.
Ya Po, who belongs to the "six women" in the "three aunts and six women", is also a human tooth, and the business is ...... Trafficking in women and children.
The tooth woman suddenly gasped, her body trembled, and she couldn't help muttering, "Why is it so cold outside?" β
But when she walked into the house, the cold feeling disappeared a lot, and it seemed to be the same as just now.
Ya Po spat and said, "Bad luck! β
Then he held the candle, walked to the cage, opened the cages one by one, reached in and touched the hand of the girl in the cage, and then pinched his mouth and checked the teeth.
Ya Po knows how to do it, knows whether this woman is healthy or not, how her body is, and looks at the teeth and mouths more realistically.
If she has good teeth and is healthy, she will usually sell it to the Qinglou, and if it is not good, she will be a woman for a certain family, or send it to the mountains to give birth to a child.
However, what this Yapo is doing now is obviously not such a small business, but a big business, otherwise it would not have been on this scale.
She carefully examined one cage after another, then taped red paper to some of them.
Those with red paper are "high-quality", and those that are not pasted are "defective".
When Ya Po inspected above, Xia Yan had already entered the secret room along the stone steps.
It's an underground vault.
In the secret room, it can be said that "although the sparrow is small, it has all five organs", and there is more than one passage.
Obviously, this Golden Scale Workshop is like a big tree with intricate roots, and the underground secret room leads to the alleys and houses on it, and it is doing shady things.
In the secret room, there are a lot of weapons on the right side, and even bows and crossbows, and on the cabinet on the left side are a lot of bottles and cans, and there are labels on them.
Xia Yan leaned over and looked at it.
Wow, you've found your destination.
"Lost incense, heartless begonia juice, nine hundred snake ointment, feather wine, corpse worm soil, ghost lead, hook kiss scattered...... Nine squares in length, that's a full eighty-one different poisons...
Although the amount is not much, it has a complete variety, and even if it overlaps with the poison I have eaten before, it will only be partial.
It seems that the business scope of this Golden Scale Workshop is quite wide, not only ecstasy, but also murder...
I don't know which big force is the downstream force.
And there are so many types of poisons, and there is at least a 'large poison supplying force' upstream of them.
The patrol did not come, and there may still be collusion between officials and bandits.
Considering that Beimang is a spy, he may not be hooked up with that side. β
In an instant, countless thoughts entered Xia Yan's mind.
"Forget it, I don't care about these for now, just poison.
Well, you're welcome. β
The demon smiled, and the next moment, he silently dragged the guards in the secret chamber into the moat one by one, drowning them directly, so as to avoid the blood coming to the surface and being detected, and then he skillfully pressed the guards with stones.
After a while, Ya Po returned, and she was stunned when she saw that the secret room was empty.
But the next moment, she was also pulled into the bottom of the lake by Xia Yan, drowning in pain, and then being crushed by a stone.
At this time, there was really no one in the secret room.
Xia Yan showed his appearance and took those bottles and jars.
It's all-you-can-drink time again...
One message after another flashed.
Wisps of true qi are born.
After two sticks of incense, he burped.
I scanned the information and was a little speechless.
The operation was as fierce as a tiger, but the result was... Twenty-five.
Yes.
His Grand Master's progress was only 25 years forward, from "Grand Master. Looking at the End of the World: (1/6400) "became" the Grand Master. (26/6400)".
Obviously, there are many varieties here, but the quantity is not large enough.
But... Something else he had been looking forward to came.
Poison Siren IIββββ you have devoured over a hundred different types of poisons to reap that luck. You're starting to attract the attention of more terrifying insects, who used to be dismissive of you, thinking that only the inferior ones will approach you, but now... They think it's "really fragrant". In their eyes, you are full of unparalleled appeal. This luck seems to come from the characteristics of some ancient murderous creature, perhaps... Are you a descendant of many generations?
