Chapter Ninety-Three: The Fortune Plate
Bai Cheng was in the teahouse, recalling the bits and pieces before and after Bai Tiehan's death, and wanted to find clues from it, when he suddenly saw the giant man who broke into the Nine Immortals Temple with Jin Jiaqi, and saw him rushing into the teahouse with four or five entourages, and couldn't help but be surprised, thinking that the horse's feet were exposed, he hurriedly changed a position by the window, so that he could escape from here at any time.
These people rushed into the lobby, and before the giant man could open his mouth, an attendant opened his mouth to speak first.
The man who spoke was dressed in blue cloth, about twenty years old, and held a compass in his hand, about three inches in size, with a finger thick and a body that seemed to be made of gold, and as the man's fingers flicked, it continued to emit brilliant golden light.
This man turned the compass and said, "Senior Brother Chen, the fortune search chart shows that the person is here, there must be no mistake!"
The giant man snorted and said, "Don't brag, you said that in that inn earlier, in that restaurant just now, why did you not see any trace of it?"
This person laughed dryly and said: "Senior Brother Chen's lesson is that the younger brother Xu is not good at learning, but this time the reaction of the fortune seeking plate is particularly strong, and he must not be wrong!"
The giant man ignored him anymore, raised his head, and swept everyone in the venue one by one with a pair of copper bell eyes, seeing that there was no trace of Baicheng, his face showed a little anger, and he roared: "Where is the boss?"
This roar was like a thunderclap in the air, and it was like a landslide cracking the ground, which shook the ears of the diners, and the surrounding walls kept falling dust.
A few of the timid diners were about to sneak away along the wall, but were stopped by several attendants, who flashed their swords and forced them back to their seats.
The guys in the lobby had already slipped back to the backyard to call the shopkeeper.
Not long after, the owner of the teahouse hurriedly ran from the backyard, this person was about forty years old, dressed in yellow satin clothes, white and fat, and knew at a glance that he was pampered.
When the owner of the teahouse saw this giant man, his legs trembled with fright, and then he saw the steel ball in his hand, and he couldn't even speak, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain is the owner of this store, please sit down this uncle." ”
After speaking, the owner of the teahouse waved at the shopkeeper and shouted, "Don't hurry up and serve tea to this uncle!"
The shopkeeper came back to his senses and hurriedly went to boil water to make tea.
The owner of the teahouse stood aside respectfully, moved a chair with his own hands, and said, "Uncle, please take a seat!"
The giant man laughed, holding the steel ball in one hand, and pressed it lightly on the chair with the other, only to hear a "click", the chair had been split into seventeen or eighteen pieces, and asked, "Do you have a chair in your store that I can sit on?"
The owner of the teahouse was dumbfounded, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, you are talented, the small shop really can't afford to entertain, I don't know what you are doing here today, uncle?"
The giant man was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "We are chasing a gangster, and we got the news that he is hiding from you, but I didn't find it in the lobby just now, tell me, where else can I hide people in this store?"
The giant man spoke very loudly, although it was a normal voice, but it also shook the ears of the teahouse owner buzzing.
The owner of the teahouse hurriedly said: "The guests in the front hall are all here, and there are only a few cooks in the backyard, all of whom have followed me for many years, and there will never be any bad people." ”
The giant man's eyes widened, and he swept the people in the lobby one by one again, and said slowly: "You said no, then no, Brother Xiong, you go in and search!"
"Yes!" From behind the giant man, two middle-aged men, one tall and one short, came out.
The owner of the teahouse said anxiously: "There is no need to search, there is indeed no back." ”
The short man stepped forward, grabbed the arm of the teahouse owner and said: "Yes or no, you will know after a search, it is better for you to go with us to see, otherwise there is something missing, but it is not clear." ”
After speaking, he pulled the boss to the backyard, the tall man followed behind, and the boss wanted to struggle again, how to struggle.
After the three of them left, the giant man didn't speak anymore, bowed his head and was speechless.
Suddenly, the giant man raised his head suddenly, his eyes were shining, he roared loudly, his arms flicked, the steel ball came out of his hand, dragging the long chain, over the lobby, swept rapidly, the wind in the house suddenly rose, and everyone staggered, especially the old gentleman who told the story just now, was stimulated by the wind, couldn't stand, and fell straight backwards.
When Bai Cheng saw the giant ball attacking, his face turned pale, and his heart was not good, so he was about to make a move, but then he shouted in his heart, no! This giant ball is not coming at me, I am afraid it is only tentative.
Thinking of this, Bai Cheng stabilized his mind and sat still.
Sure enough, the giant ball of steel in the giant man's hand was collected as soon as it was fired, and seeing that no one was moving, he muttered, "It turns out that it is really not here..."
The giant man made an astonishing move, although he had stopped at this time, but no one dared to speak anymore, and the silence in the room could be heard even if the needle fell, and after a while, someone groaned and said: "Strange, this fall, why doesn't it hurt at all?"
Everyone hurriedly looked, it turned out that the old gentleman who told the story was lying on the ground, but he was not lying directly on the ground, and between it and the ground, there was a young man in blue, who was holding the compass just now.
The young man in blue grinned, turned over and helped the old gentleman up, and said, "You are old and weak, so it's better not to stand so high." With that, he jumped and returned to the giant man.
At this time, the Xiong brothers had also returned, and they spread their hands at the giant man, indicating that they had not been found.
Seeing this, the giant man frowned, stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of the blue-clothed young man just now, and said angrily: "I said that your compass is not accurate, and you still have to argue with me, how about it?
The young man in blue screamed in pain and said: "Senior Brother Chen, I came out in a hurry this time, and I only brought one life-seeking disk, so naturally it is not accurate, but yesterday, Senior Brother Cai has already returned to the door, and when he takes two more compasses, when the time comes, the junior brother can use a three-point positioning method to find out the person accurately." ”
The giant man nodded and said, "Okay, then I will believe you again." He turned his head and said to the owner of the teahouse, "I'm sorry to disturb you, take care of me." ”
After saying that, the group turned and left.
Seeing this giant man leaving, Bai Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and when this person suddenly threw a huge ball, he almost had to make a move, but fortunately, his brain turned, he calmed down, and he didn't make a move, so he didn't get seen through by this giant man, it was really dangerous.
Bai Cheng looked at the giant man and said secretly in his heart, Mai Xiangshi just reminded himself today, saying that Wudou Midao has a magic weapon to find qi, and they will meet here in the afternoon, but they are afraid that they will say that the compass in their hands can find qi, not to bluff people, not only that, once they bring two more compasses to further improve the accuracy of the magic weapon, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to dodge.
Thinking of this, Bai Cheng couldn't help but be a little anxious and wanted to leave this place, but then he thought about it, if he went out of the city at this time, it wouldn't work, because once he got out of the city, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and they would use the compass to chase after him, and it would be ten times easier to find himself at that time than now.
For now, I'm afraid that only by rushing to the nearby Blood Flame Army camp before their compass arrives can they escape the catastrophe.
It's just how can we get to the Bloody Flame Army camp smoothly? Bai Cheng walked on the street, facing the cold wind of the night, and slowly pondered this question.
When he was walking, he suddenly walked by twenty or thirty people, who were bustling and lively.
Bai Cheng looked up, but the leader was an acquaintance, it was the blue-faced man who had fought with Bai Cheng in front of the Xuangui Hall.
One of the people in the crowd said: "We have made a lot of money from this transaction, which is enough to exceed the profits of the past six months!"
Another person said: "It's not the eldest brother's ability to open up this water business!"
When the blue-faced man heard this, he smiled and said: "Let's rely on the big rivers and don't do water trading, can't we keep looking for food in the soil?"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, Bai Cheng's heart moved, and he suddenly had an idea.
