Dingwangfu.

The housekeeper Qi Xu looked at the four figures wearing toad masks in front of him and ordered: "Let's start acting according to the original plan, no matter what, the ceremony must be successful!" ”

After saying that, he also put a toad mask on his face.

"Yes!"

"Let's all disperse."

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, the four of them left from the secret channels in the Dingwang Mansion and went to all corners of the Jingshi.

Qi Xu took one last look at the huge Dingwang Mansion, jumped on the roof, and quickly left into the distance.

Ping An Fang.

It is densely populated, close to the city walls, inhabited by poor families, and many migrant workers live here due to the cheap rent.

Over time, it has become a mixed bag, with three religions and nine streams.

"Old Li Tou, why don't you go to chop wood today, don't you go to see the Oiran election, and feast your eyes?"

"What a blessing for the eyes, for us people, filling our stomachs is the greatest blessing!"

Lao Li Tou walked out of the city with a rusty firewood knife, there were many people on the street today, in order to hurry, he did not go to the main road, but walked a small alley that he had not walked much before.

"Huh?"

Lao Li Tou walked and stopped, he sniffed his nose and wondered, "Why is there a smell of corpses here?" ”

However, he didn't pay too much attention to it, in a densely populated place like Ping'anfang, the smell of some alleys was unpleasant, which was a common thing.

Lao Li Tou didn't take this as the same thing, thinking that small animals such as wild cats and wild dogs had died near the alley.

He walked slowly humming a little song, unaware that a faint black mist was beginning to fill the alley.

"Hey, look, what's going on in the alley?"

"yes, and it's black, why don't we report to the official?"

A few young men hurriedly went to report to the official, and the rest of the people immediately stayed away from the alley, and the residents near the alley also fled their homes.

It's just that Lao Li Tou never came out of the alley again.

"What's the situation?"

Not long after, Wang Qi arrived with a team of patrolling guards.

He listened to the descriptions of the people around him, and looked at the alley that had been shrouded in black fog, and he didn't dare to step into the alley, but quickly reported to the palace.

West Plant.

Cao Ronghui listened to the report of the factory service, and his brows were furrowed.

Today is the day of the Oiran election, and there can be no mistakes, so he looked at Tao Min, the captain of the West Factory, who was on standby, and asked him to deal with this matter.

"Yes, Deacon Cao." After Tao Min finished speaking, he turned around and left.

The black fog became thicker and thicker, and the entire alley was completely covered in black smoke, and it looked like another world at a glance.

Tao Min looked at the alley covered in black smoke not far away, and his hands subconsciously clenched two short guns.

Fortunately, there was no sign of the black smoke spreading.

"Grandpa Tao, can you see what the situation is?" Wang Qi first saluted respectfully, and asked with a slight frown.

Tao Min was also a second monk at this time, and he was worried, when he was suddenly asked by Wang Qiyi, and he suddenly felt a little impatient in his heart.

"Don't inquire about things you shouldn't know." Tao Min said lightly.

"Yes, yes, it's little Meng Lang." Wang Qi hurriedly apologized.

It seems that not every father-in-law is as good at talking as Lord Lu......

After Tao Min finished reprimanding Wang Qi, he turned his head to look at the factory servant beside him and asked, "Haven't the things you brought have arrived?" ”

"It's coming." The factory servant hurriedly replied.

After a while, someone walked back briskly with a cage of chickens and ducks.

"Let's put it in there and see." Tao Min commanded.

This alley is only three zhang long, but because of the black smoke, everyone can't see the situation inside.

The only way to test it is to use chickens, ducks and other poultry to test it first.

The soldiers opened the cages and drove two chickens, a duck, and a goose into the alley.

It's just that the chickens, ducks, and geese entered the alley and didn't come out again.

Tao Min and the others listened attentively, but did not hear any sounds from chickens, ducks, and geese.

There was a dead silence inside.

A soldier slapped a bamboo pole into the alley again, but still did not see the chickens, ducks, or geese being driven out.

"Take the bamboo pole back, be careful." Tao Min said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

The soldiers carefully retracted the bamboo poles, which were stained with red blood and some feathers.

"Did you feel like you had a foreign object with a bamboo pole just now?" Tao Min asked the soldier who was using the bamboo pole just now.

"Back to my father-in-law's words, no." The soldier replied.

"That's ......" Tao Min was silent.

There must be something inside, but I didn't see that the chickens, ducks, and geese that were sent in were no longer even there.

But he wasn't sure what was inside.

Evil warriors?

Monsters?

Or is it both?

"Have your men fill the bottle with black smoke." Tao Min instructed Wang Qi, and his words were full of commands.

"This ......"

Wang Qi looked at the rolling black fog not far away, and was a little hesitant in his heart.

"What are you rubbing, don't go quickly!" Tao Min reprimanded.

There was no way, Wang Qi could only let his soldiers risk filling a bottle of black smoke with a bottle to come back.

Tao Min glanced at the man up and down, and found nothing abnormal, but he was still not at ease, so he ordered someone to catch a rabbit, carefully pulled out the cap, and the black smoke poured on the rabbit's head.

The time of a stick of incense passed, and the rabbit did not have any abnormality.

"It doesn't look like a curse, it doesn't look like it's poison gas, so why does the smoke linger?" Tao Min frowned and muttered to himself.

When they arrived, the wind had blown in the alley several times, but the black smoke showed no sign of being blown away.

The black smoke that the wind can't blow is really strange.

In the end, there was really no way, Tao Min could only reluctantly say: "In that case, I'll just go in and take a look." ”

He actually didn't want to go in at all, but there was no way to go, so many people were watching!

Moreover, today is still the day of the Oiran election, and there must be no mistakes.

"In this case, please ask Grandpa Tao." Wang Qi arched his hand.

"Please, Grandpa Tao."

The crowd saluted.

Tao Min looked at all this, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

However, he soon collected his mind.

No matter what, he is also a martial arts powerhouse in the Minhui Realm, and he still has the ability to protect himself.

Tao Min covered his mouth and nose and cautiously stepped into the black smoke, and his voice came out of the black smoke: "I'm okay for the time being, and I haven't been attacked in any way." ”

"Can you see it from inside?" Wang Qi asked, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to record.

"Visibility is about three feet." Tao Min replied in the smoke.
