Chapter 1155: Strange Shop
There are singing and dancing in the city that never sleeps, but there are many places where dirt and dirt are hidden.
In particular, the real sordid and secrets are often buried in the most inconspicuous corners.
The rouge is fragrant in the rouge workshop, and the rouge aroma spreads to the alleys.
As soon as Lai Lao Liu took Su Jiu and the others into this mysterious alley, Su Jiu smelled a rouge aroma that was different from that from the Spring Willow Pavilion.
If you want to say that the fragrance coming out of the Spring Willow Pavilion is sweet and greasy, then the fragrance in this alley is fresh and elegant.
There are not many candlelit shops in the alleys, only a few.
But compared to the bustle and bustle of the main street, this alley is very quiet.
Since Lai Lao Liu entered this alley, his words have unconsciously decreased a lot.
After a while, seeing that he was about to reach the end of this alley, Lai Lao Liu suddenly gave a very solemn warning to Su Jiu and the others.
"Follow me for the rest of the road, I won't give you a hint, don't open your mouth. ”
At first, the three of them didn't understand the intention of the sixth child, but soon Su Jiu understood.
I saw Lai Lao Liu and the three of them take a few steps forward, and the aroma in the air suddenly changed.
When Su Jiu smelled it, although the aroma was still fresh and elegant, it had another taste.
Almost forming a conditioned reflex, Su Jiu immediately held his breath.
However, it was too late, she only felt that her body was dark, except for Lai Lao Liu, Chu Luochen, and Qi Song, everything around her disappeared in an instant.
Su Jiu glanced at Lai Lao Liu, pondered slightly in his heart, and did not speak.
Lai Lao Liu acted as if he hadn't noticed anything, and still walked forward step by step, and after Su Jiu followed for a while, he suddenly discovered the law of Lai Lao Liu's walking.
If she hadn't walked with him, maybe Su Jiu would have thought that Lai Lao Liu was just moving forward normally and unaffected, but Su Jiu was already proficient in the formation, and he followed Lai Lao Liu for a while, how could he really not find anything boring?
Su Jiu guessed that nine times out of ten, they would still stay where they were, and Lai Lao Liu would teach them to get out of this square formation.
As for this pitch black, in Su Jiu's opinion, eighty percent of it was because they had problems with their five senses. As for the initial reason for their five senses problems, it was the aroma of rouge.
Because of this darkness, not only could they not see what was around them, but they could also hear the noise that originally came from the main street, but only the faint white light emanating from themselves.
As time passed, Su Jiu also used his fingers to deduce this formation.
It's not a formation that's too profound, and she doesn't even need the five senses, she and Chu Luochen can also use their own strength to forcibly break the formation.
However, how to say that it is also someone else's territory, if you directly break the formation, sweep the face of the person who arranged the formation, not to say, I am afraid that even people will be offended together, they are here to ask for news and not to smash the field, since the other party has no malicious intentions, it doesn't hurt for them to follow the rules of others.
Maybe Chu Luochen also thought like this, so he only frowned slightly at the beginning, and there was no other expression later.
In the blink of an eye, it was an hour.
Another elegant fragrance struck, and this fragrance crossed by, and the five senses that had just been taken away were immediately returned.
At the same time, they finally walked out of the formation deliberately laid by others.
Lai Lao Liu wiped the corners of his forehead, and Su Jiu found that a lot of cold sweat oozed from his forehead at some point.
The four of them had reached the end of the alley, and at the end of the alley was a small, inconspicuous looking house.
It looked like no one had carefully decorated it in a long time, and some of the surrounding walls were even falling with rubble.
There were two green lanterns hanging in front of the door, a somewhat faint fluorescent green.
Lai Lao Liu first made a gesture at the door, and then knocked on the door.
The three strokes are very regular, and even the length of time between each sound is the same.
About a dozen breaths later, a hoarse and ugly voice came from inside the door, "Since you're here, come in." As the words fell, another extremely violent cough sounded.
Lai Lao Liu gently pushed open the door and motioned for Su Jiu and the others to go in.
Su Jiu was not polite, and as soon as he lifted the hem of his clothes, he took the lead in crossing the threshold and walked in, and then the others followed in.
When Lai Lao Liu's second foot also completely stepped into the door, the door closed automatically, as if there was an invisible force controlling all this.
The corners of Su Jiu's lips were slightly outlined for a moment, and then they were flattened, and there was no other emotion in his eyes.
Immediately, several more "popping" sounds sounded in the room.
It was the subtle sound of the candles being lit, and instead of the red they had seen before, the candles were green, like the lanterns hanging outside.
If you are timid, you may really be scared.
But it doesn't matter if it's red or green, there's light in the room anyway.
It was also at this time that Su Jiu finally took a closer look at the faces of the other two people in the room.
The two men sat and stood in the middle of the room.
The man seated was an old man who looked to be very old, with his back bent and his left hand clenched into a fist under his lips, with an old face full of folds.
Among them, the blue eye bags look very serious, and it looks like time is running out.
However, you can't always look at the surface when you look at people, although this person looks sickly, Su Jiu can still feel the surging aura in his body. It's just that his illness is not pretended.
The old man's body was full of aura, but this aura seemed to be unable to continue to nourish his skin and meridians, as if it had been cut off by some kind of prohibition. At this time, her sea of consciousness drilled into Qi Song's voice.
Qi Song glanced at Su Jiu and knew that she was listening, and continued, "It's just that even if he is powerful now, the aura in his body still can't repair his current illness. ”
Su Jiu understood this sentence, what Qi Song meant was that if he didn't use foreign treatment, he would still live for a short time.
As for the one standing, it was a young woman, her eyes were very dark, and her whole body was cold, and she didn't look like a good stubble.
In the end, it was Lai Lao Liu who opened his mouth first, "Sir, I brought two friends to consult two questions this time." ”
The old man didn't speak, but the woman spoke first, "You came here as a guide?"
Lai Lao Liu nodded, and then took out a token with a very strange shape.
The woman glanced at the token and spread her hand directly, "Old rules." ”
Seeing this, Lai Lao Liu nodded, returned to Su Jiu and the others, and said in a low voice, "You guys go over now, don't say anything to her five thousand spirit stones first, and then the price of the problem will be." ”
Qi Song was a little hesitant on his face: "Can this store really get the answer we want?"
Lai Lao Liu chuckled, "If even they don't know the news, then I'm afraid no one in this sleepless city will know." ”
Su Jiu didn't say anything and walked forward directly and handed over a storage bag.
The woman couldn't help but glance at her more when she saw that Su Jiu was doing things so neatly.
"It seems that he is also a master who is not trapped by life. "After all, ordinary people can't do it so generously.
"Tell me what questions you want to ask. ”
