Chapter 82: The white rat tested the poison, and Longquan was stolen and chased the murderer at night
Coming down from Baiyun Mountain, it was already dusk, and Zhao Yunxi and the others immediately found an inn and stayed overnight.
This inn is not big or small. It's just that the area around this inn is sparsely populated, and there are only a few people who come to stay overnight.
Most of these people are people from the rivers and lakes, street workers.
But what worried Zhao Yunxi finally happened.
Even though the dragon spring on his back was wrapped in thick cloth, it still attracted many people's eyesights.
Just because the sword body is too wide and heavy, even if it is wrapped in cloth, it is inevitable that people will not associate it with the Longquan sword that has been circulating on the rivers and lakes recently.
Some people raise their glasses hesitantly, put them to their lips and do not drink;
Some people drew their swords and looked around from side to side, as if to stop the snatchers;
There are even people who are ready to attack, planning a strategy that if the enemy does not move, I will not move;
And in the whole inn, only the shopkeeper and the owner seem so ordinary.
"Yo! The two passengers are tired of traveling, but do you want to stay here for one night? Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward and greeted the two with a smile: "There is a first-class guest room upstairs, I don't know what the two of you wantββ? β
"You can prepare a double room for us! That's all I have with me! Cai Ming said, and stuffed the money into the small second-hand.
When someone in the store heard this, they just chuckled.
But the tension didn't diminish much.
"Okay!" Immediately, Xiao Er took the two of them to the side and said, "Two guest officers! This way, please! β
"Squeak-squeak-"
"Two guest officers, please come inside!" Xiao Er pushed open the door, and after the two of them walked into the room, he took off the handkerchief on his shoulder, wiped the benches, tables and chairs in the room, and said, "Two guest officers, please take a seat!" β
Soon, the little two took the food and put it on the table.
"Little Er, do you have tea?" Cai Ming asked him.
"Yes! Yes! Wait a minute, two guest officers! I'm going to prepare! β
"Bang-"
With that, Xiao Er exited the door.
In the guest room, the two talked about wine and talked about the bizarre encounters of the past few days.
"What do you say is the origin of the person who met Master Huiyuan? Why did even the monks in that temple turn to him? If it weren't for the little master who deliberately released water to us, we wouldn't be looking for that Huiyuan everywhere now! Cai Ming didn't know why, and asked Zhao Yunxi.
"It can be seen that this person has an extraordinary background, and his martial arts attainments are far above you and me!" Zhao Yunxi said with certainty.
"Why?" Cai Ming was a little puzzled.
"Don't you see, as soon as we stepped into the hall that day, the curtain behind the big Buddha moved. Obviously, we are only a few steps away from him! β
"How many steps apart?" Cai Ming was even more confused, looked at Zhao Yunxi with a puzzled expression, and said, "I went up to see it on the spot that day!" Could it be that he still has wings and flies? β
"Not really!" Zhao Yunxi smiled lightly and added: "It's just that there is a huge disparity in strength between you and me, and catching up with this person is a fool's dream!" β
In this way, that person's martial arts attainments can be compared with Huiyuan. Otherwise, how could the monks of the temple face him! β
"Not so! Your reasons are too forced. Because since ancient times, Shaolin Temple has been the ancestral garden of Zen Buddhism in Han Buddhism, known as 'the first temple in the world'. Shaolin Temple is famous for its Shaolin Kung Fu, which has been painstakingly researched and continuously developed by Shaolin monks throughout the ages. Now in the Ming Dynasty, Xinyi Shaolin, and even more used by the imperial court, which is naturally indispensable behind the support of the imperial court. And your words are a great taboo! They categorically did not dare, and this scenario is even more unlikely. So! There is only one explanation that can be explained, that is, the relationship between this person and Huiyuan is by no means ordinary. Zhao Yunxi got up and analyzed.
"According to what you say, there is also the intervention of the imperial court behind this!"
"It's hard to say!" Zhao Yunxi got up and looked out the window and said, "If they interfere, what is the purpose?" This obviously does not make sense. β
"If it's not someone in the court, then this person can only be a person on the rivers and lakes!" Cai Ming thought for a while, and said: "Because there are many reasons for people on the rivers and lakes, and the most likely one is Mingzhu!" β
"But you seem to have forgotten one thing, and that is that all the news about Mingzhu was first from when the Mingyue Sect was gone. And since the Bright Moon Sect died out overnight, all news about Mingzhu has disappeared with it. If they are like this, then only Longquan will make their hearts move. Zhao Yunxi looked back at everyone's expressions and demeanor when they entered the inn.
Of course, there is naturally one of the least suspicious people here-the shopkeeper.
As soon as these words came out, I saw a figure flash through the door, and then I heard someone stepping on the stairs and coming upstairs.
"Bang! Syllable! Syllable! β
There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in!"
The two of them raised their guard as they looked at the door.
"Guest! The tea you want is ready! Lookβ" Xiao Er put a white handkerchief on his left shoulder, held a teapot in one hand, and said to the two respectfully.
"Just leave it here!" Cai Ming pointed to the table and said to him.
"Okay!" Xiao Er took off his handkerchief, wiped the table, and then put the tea on the table, and added to the two: "If you two still need anything, just greet the little one." The small one is just downstairs. β
"Hmmm! Got it, you go down first! Zhao Yunxi glanced at Xiao Er and said.
"The little one will retire!"
"Squeak-squeak-"
Xiao Er then exited the door and closed the door.
The two watched Xiao Er leave, and then they were relieved.
"What a fuss! I don't think it's strange! Brother Zhao doesn't need to be so nervous! Seeing this, Cai Ming just smiled lightly, as if nothing had happened, he sat down at the table, poured tea, and was about to quote it, but was stopped by Zhao Yunxi.
"Brother Cai, slow down!" Zhao Yunxi snatched the tea in Cai Ming's hand, put it in front of his eyes, and said, "Be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Boat!" This is the teaching line of the ancients! Brother Cai, don't underestimate the enemy! β
"I said that you started to become suspicious when you came down from Baiyun Mountain, shouldn't you be obsessed again!" glanced at Zhao Yunxi impatiently, and said, "Isn't there anything to doubt about the shopkeeper!" If you look closely, it's just an ordinary person, and it's not like you've never seen it on the street. β
Seeing this, Zhao Yunxi just smiled lightly and explained to him: "Brother Cai! You're really wrong this time! People who often seem to be ordinary are not ordinary at all! β
With that, Zhao Yunxi took out a guinea pig from his arms.
"Y-why are you holding this thing in your arms, aren't you afraid that this little thing will bite you?"
Cai Ming said, and shrank back, far away.
"I said Brother Cai! It's just a mouse, there's no need to scare you like this! You-hehe-" Zhao Yunxi couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
"Isn't it just a mouse? When have I ever been afraid! Cai Ming wiped his nose, shrugged his shoulders, straightened up, put on a peaceful appearance, and sat at the table indifferently. But he still didn't dare to look directly at the little pig.
"It seems that Brother Cai still has a relationship with this little thing! Otherwise, how could it be like this, and if this spreads, I'm afraidβ"
"I said, don't betray my brother like that! If you are like this, then I will make the matter of you and the pearl public! β
While the two were laughing, they forgot that the mouse on the table had drunk all the tea in the cup because of hunger and thirst.
"Bang-"
The teacup rolled to the ground and became crumbs.
"Squeakβ"
The little guinea pig screamed and struggled with all four paws to the sky. After less than a moment, there was no movement.
"Brother Cai! You should trust me this time! β
"I say you're God! How can you be sure that they will poison us! β
"Actually, all this is thanks to Master Huiyuan, who saved us!" Zhao Yunxi explained to him.
"I didn't expect that Master Huiyuan was like a god, and this was also calculated by him!" Cai Ming was surprised, and asked Zhao Yunxi, "Then let's next-"
"What else! Of course, it will be calculated! Find out the real culprit! β
ββ
"Bang dang~!"
The movement upstairs was too loud, and everyone in the inn looked upstairs in shock.
Seeing that the movement was too loud, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the guests, the shopkeeper greeted Xiao Er in front of everyone and shouted, "Go and see what's going on upstairs!" So as not to disturb the mood of the guests! β
While speaking, he did not forget to hint with his eyes.
"Howler! The little ones are going! β
The little two came upstairs, stabbed a window paper, and looked in, only to see that the room was in a mess, and the two had already fallen to the ground on their backs, foaming at the mouth.
The corners of Xiao Er's mouth raised slightly, and he put his mind at ease.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry! Just upstairs, I don't know where a wild cat slipped in and knocked over the dishes. I've just kicked it out, I'm so embarrassed! Everyone, please use it slowly! After speaking, Zi Yu'er's eyes returned to the shopkeeper, telling him that the time had been done.
When everyone saw this, they didn't say much, and drank wine and ate food by themselves.
Soon, the little two found four men from nowhere, came to this house, and quietly closed the door.
"Quick! Carry them down the back door and don't alarm them! Xiao Er moved the bed, and saw a door standing in front of everyone.
"Wow-"
The door was opened by Xiao Er.
"Remember! Deliver them to their masters! The host will have a way! β
"Subordinates obey!"
He carried them downstairs.
When the four of them went out, the corners of Xiao Ercai's mouth raised slightly, and he became proud.
Looking at the objects on the table wrapped in thick cloth, he leaned in and untied the cloth.
When the wide and heavy sword appeared in front of him, it was like finding a treasure.
"Bang ββ!" Xiao Er tried to get it, but only lifted it a little.
"The Longquan Sword really lives up to its name! Even this sword is so heavy! Without a little internal force, you really can't hold it! After Xiao Er finished speaking, he worked hard before he picked up the Longquan sword from the table.
"Dingβ"
looked at the half of the sword body that was pulled out, but it was mediocre.
Just when Xiao Er was puzzled, he saw a light and shadow flash from the sword.
Before the little two could react, he slapped him on the chest. With a miserable snort, after smashing the table and chair, he fell to the ground.
The four people outside the house noticed the movement in the house, put them down, and when they turned back to inspect them, they were knocked to the ground by the two.
The movement in the room just now, the two of them naturally heard it. After a glance at each other, they ran towards the house.
The man in black heard that something was wrong, and he flashed out of the window with a dragon spring in his hand.
When the two of them came to the room, they saw that the tables and chairs were falling apart, and the floor was in a mess, and the shopkeeper had been dead for a long time.
"He's not far away! Let's keep chasing! The two of them glanced at the broken window, and together they chased in the direction of the man in black.
On the branches of the moon, the willow branches were a little hurried by the wind.
At this time, the man in black was holding the dragon spring, taking advantage of the moonlight, stepping on the tiles of the roof, and walking quickly. I saw that his body was as light as a swallow, his steps were light, and he arrived on another roof after a while. Just as he was taking off again, he stopped because someone was in his way.
And the people who stood in his way were Zhao Yunxi and Cai Ming.
I saw the two of them one after the other, blocking the man in black in the middle.
"Your leg is really helpless! We chased all the way, tired and sweaty, and stopped you here. Zhao Yunxi chuckled and said to him, "How is it?" Are you interested in having a drink or two below? β
"Do you think you two can stop me?" The man in black squinted his eyes and glanced at Cai Ming behind him, and then said softly to Zhao Yunxi.
[Test question: 1, what secrets are hidden in the Longquan Sword? Why are even the little two in the store attracted to it?
2, Who will be the last man in black to appear? Will the two succeed in retrieving the Longquan Sword? γ
