Chapter 17: The Unwounded Body
"Don't worry, that's what I said, not to suspect you. Shopkeeper Wu's tone softened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "The biggest possibility is that Lan Jie was controlled by the ghost sedan chair when she entered this town. She may not even be aware of herself. ”
"If that's the case, is there any way to rescue Lan Jie?" Li Pu said.
"We still have to identify first, whether Lan Jie was originally a gang of ghost sedan chairs, or was temporarily controlled by the ghost sedan chair, and after confirmation, we can proceed to the next step. ”
"You are good at this, you say, what to do, I will cooperate with you. Li Pu also simply, since he doesn't understand, then listen to others first.
"You go to her now, look for an opportunity to give her some blood, see the concentration and color of the blood. If she was temporarily controlled, then the blood would not change much, and if she was already a demon, there would definitely be an abnormality in the blood, just a glance. Shopkeeper Wu said.
Blood again!
It seems that this genus of demons and monsters is more deeply entangled with blood than imagined!
Li Pu nodded thoughtfully and asked, "What should I do after I identify it?"
"If she is temporarily controlled, then it's as simple as killing her directly, and then finding the embroidered shoes and burning them, and that's fine, if her blood is different, you can come out quickly, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with you. ”
"Kill her directly? Shopkeeper Wu, I'm asking you how to save her! Also, aren't you wondering, if she is only temporarily controlled, then why did the ghost sedan chair let her come to the inn with embroidered shoes? Doesn't it know that the inn is your territory? It is not afraid that its embroidered shoes will be destroyed?"
"You ......don't understand," Shopkeeper Wu shook his head and sighed, "It dares to let embroidered shoes appear in the inn, which means that it has been able to resonate with embroidered shoes enough, and it doesn't take me seriously, I'm just gambling now, betting that it doesn't know about your existence, betting that you can destroy embroidered shoes by surprise." ”
"Then I'll just knock Lan Jie unconscious. There was no need to kill her. Li Pu said categorically.
"You can't knock her out. The person who is controlled by the sedan chair, as long as there is still a breath left, she will fight with you endlessly. ”
"I see. I'll fix that. Li Pu was noncommittal and walked out the door.
Coming straight to the door of Lan Jie's room, Li Pu knocked on the door.
Lan Jie opened the door and saw that it was Li Pu, and seemed to be stunned for a moment, but she reacted immediately and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Li Gongzi." ”
"Miss Lan, according to Brother Ling, you have real kung fu, I just went back to the room and thought about it for a long time, but after all, I still couldn't hold back, I want to have a discussion with Miss Lan, I wonder if Miss Lan is convenient?" Li Pu said sincerely.
"It's so late......" Lan Jie was obviously hesitant.
"Miss Lan looks at the trick. Li Pu quickly cut through the mess and took out the sword directly, not giving her a chance to refuse.
Lan Jie hurriedly took a few steps back, avoiding the vital point. Unexpectedly, Li Pu's purpose was not really to compete with her in martial arts, but just to take a little blood from her.
After a few swords, a few wisps of sword wind soon stirred, slashing shallowly on Lan Jie's wrist.
To Li Pu's surprise, although he was swept away by the sword wind, Lan Jie did not shed blood.
In fact, her skin had indeed been cut by the sword wind in an extremely shallow layer, but in the blink of an eye, the severed skin was immediately healed again, so smooth that no trace could be seen.
This is definitely not something that ordinary humans can do. Even martial arts practitioners can't do it.
Li Pu's eyes froze, and he suddenly withdrew his sword. He didn't have to try any longer. No matter what her background is, she can't be easily dealt with.
His original intention is to do what he can do, but what he is not sure of, he will never put himself into it!
The reason why he agreed to the shopkeeper Wu was because the other party said that there was absolutely no danger and there was no need to have the slightest concern. Now it's not like that at all! Then of course he won't be as hard as a fool anymore.
Besides, it is still unknown whether the shopkeeper Wu can be trusted unreservedly.
Lan Jie was stunned for a moment, unable to understand why the person in front of him suddenly ran over and said that he wanted to compete, but after swinging a few swords, he suddenly stopped fighting.
Li Pu smiled apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Miss Lan, I wanted to compete with you on a whim, but I forgot that it's not too early, let's compete again next time." ”
"Li Gongzi, stay for the time being. The voice of the shopkeeper Wu came from behind him, and I don't know when he came over, "I said you should let her bleed out, but you haven't done it yet, how can you just leave?"
Li Pu looked back at the shopkeeper Wu, and said expressionlessly: "You already know the results of the identification." I don't know what the entanglement is between you and her, and I don't want to meddle in this matter now. ”
"It's too late to say you can't meddle now. Do you think she's going to let you go?" shopkeeper Wu snorted coldly.
Li Pu said: "Whether you can leave is my own business, so I don't have to worry about the shopkeeper Wu." ”
Shopkeeper Wu shook his head and said, "Gongzi Li, it is understandable that you are young and vigorous, but you must also learn to judge the situation. The only chance we have now is to give me that thing on your body that is resistant to embroidered shoes, and I'll go in and burn them myself!
In the final analysis, he just wants the "strange treasure" on Li Pu's body.
It's a pity that Li Pu was able to resist the ghost sedan chair and absorb the essence, relying on Tian Yuan, can Tian Yuan be taken away by others?
"If you want what I want, you can take it yourself. Li Pu smiled.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Lan Jie wondered.
"It looks like you've lost your memory again, don't you? I don't care if you're true or not, our grievances will end here tonight!"
He took a deep breath and suddenly let out a loud cry! I saw that his originally dry legs suddenly swelled and thickened, and in the blink of an eye, his trouser legs were torn apart! A thick layer of animal hair covered it, making it look hideous and ugly.
Seeing this, Lan Jie exclaimed loudly, took a few steps back, and seemed to feel that something was wrong, so she quickly ran back and wanted to close the door.
Li Pu's face was solemn, he didn't expect that Shopkeeper Wu was not a human being!
Shopkeeper Wu jumped in the direction of the room, as if to knock Lan Jie down.
Unexpectedly, he turned around in mid-air, and pounced on Li Pu instead!
Li Pu raised his vigilance after seeing his lower limbs become beasts. Seeing him rushing over, he didn't show weakness and stabbed straight with his sword!
A hint of playfulness flashed in the tyrannical eyes of Shopkeeper Wu, and his left leg did not dodge or dodge, and directly slashed towards Li Pu's sword body!
It's a pity that the next moment later, the sound of the sword breaking in his imagination did not appear, but there was a sharp pain in his left foot!
He was shocked, and quickly withdrew his left foot and fell to the ground.
When he fixed his eyes, he saw that the instep of his left foot had been pierced by Li Pu's sharp sword! Not only that, but the wound that had been pierced also exuded the smell of cooked meat, as if it had been roasted! Even the layer of animal hair covering his foot was also scorched a lot.
"What kind of martial arts are you?'Baiyang Red Flame Skill'?!Impossible!" Shopkeeper Wu howled, his voice hoarse and ruthless, full of disbelief.
"You have a good eye, this is the 'White Yang Red Flame Gong' that you showed me!" Li Pu pulled up his sword flower and smiled calmly, "It's impossible, you'll know if you try again." ”
With the blooming of Li Pu's sword flower, the temperature around him increased a lot in an instant.
Shopkeeper Wu looked at Li Pu in disbelief, and suddenly smiled: "You must have practiced this martial art before, and just now you happened to see that I had the real book in hand, so you planned to use it to bluff me and make me retreat from the difficulties? Unfortunately, there is absolutely no such genius in this world! At your age, you can practice to the second level at most! I tell you, just rely on this, you can't stop me! It's better for you to hand over the things, I just need to destroy the embroidered shoes, pay you back immediately, and give you a rich reward that you can't imagine, don't you want to have internal strength?" I'll give you as much as I want, how about it?"
Li Pu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't give you anything." If you want to take it by force, I'm afraid it's not that easy, not to mention that the ghost sedan chair may take the opportunity to attack you at any time!But if you still want to destroy the embroidered shoes, the previous agreement is still valid, I can help you, but you have to take the lead. ”
Shopkeeper Wu's eyes flickered, and he hesitated: "What if you take the opportunity to attack me?"
"What am I attacking you for, and what good is it for me?" Li Puqi said.
Shopkeeper Wu grinned: "Okay, I'll believe you once today! It's life or death here!"
He raised his head to the sky and roared, his body swelled to more than two meters tall in an instant, his muscles were knotted, and he was imposing.
With a flicker, the shopkeeper Wu had already disappeared in place.
"Bang!"
The door that Lan Jie had just closed was immediately slammed open by the huge shopkeeper Wu!
"Bang!bang!" A louder voice sounded than before, and it seemed that there was an extremely fierce fight in the room.
Li Pu slowly approached and took a look, and the situation in the room surprised him greatly: Lan Jie didn't seem to know martial arts at all, and was beaten by Wu's shopkeeper and retreated, and he had no power to fight back. Even later, Shopkeeper Wu grabbed her in his hands, like grabbing a small puppet, and beat her on the ground at will!
Looking at this situation, let alone a human being, even if it is a demon beast with ten times stronger vitality, I am afraid that it will be demolished alive by the shopkeeper Wu!
However, Li Pu soon discovered that something was wrong. Although Lan Jie was hit by the stormy blows of the shopkeeper Wu, there was not a single broken place on her whole body!
"This can't be, it's just the body of an ordinary human being, how can it reach the broken level?" shopkeeper Wu yelled loudly while beating the other party as if venting.
"Speaking of which, it's thanks to you, Wu Jiliang. Lan Jie finally spoke, her voice faint, "Originally, I didn't completely refine this body, but your beating saved me a lot of effort." ”
