Chapter One Hundred and Eight, Notes
The afternoon sun is always dazzling and annoying, and for Liu San'er, this time should be a good time to fall asleep, even if he doesn't sleep, it is a very pleasant thing to stay in the house to recuperate. But he can't enjoy any of these now, but together with Huang Chunchun in the full immortal residence diagonally opposite the Yuanpeng Inn, he was in a daze at a table of food that he couldn't eat.
Since waking up early in the morning, Liu San'er has not seen Tian Mizhen's figure. He found himself lying in the grass in perfect clothes, all traces of the previous night erased as if it had never happened. He walked around the garden a few times, not only did he not see Xuedong's corpse and bloodstains, or the corpse and bloodstains of the guy named Liuxiang, but he could not even find any traces of his own blood and the traces of the fights he had ever made. Surprised, he couldn't help but peel off the clothes on his body, and was shocked to find that there was no trace of the three old men being severely injured on his body, which was incredible.
Liu San'er knew that from the time he saw Xuedong to the vicious battle with the three old men was a real experience, and even what he said to Tian Mizhen when he was incurable and his life was in danger, what Tian Mizhen told him, he remembered every sentence clearly. As a cultivator, he can instinctively distinguish the difference between dreams and reality, but when all traces of what really happened have been deliberately erased by people, and there is no reference, he has to wonder if he really remembers it wrong.
After not finding anything in the garden, Liu San'er resolutely returned to the small courtyard where he first saw Tian Mizhen before. The inside was as empty as imagined, the group of children led by Tian Mizhen disappeared, and almost all traces were also erased, and only a few that remained could only prove that this courtyard had been inhabited, but it was impossible to verify who had lived, how many people, and how long they had lived.
How could this woman have such great ability? I'm afraid she won't be able to finish what she did overnight for five or six days day and night, she is still just a Qi cultivation period in the Dao of Forgetfulness, if everyone in that sect is as rebellious as her, other sects don't have to live.
Is it because she is still from the Arowana clan and is talented?
With these in mind, Liu San'er began to visit other residents in the alley door to door, wanting to find some clues about Tian Mizhen's departure.
These residents are doing the most lowly errands in Tianzhenfang City, they are bitter and tired, and they are exhausted when they come back, and they don't have the energy to visit the house at all. Moreover, for a normal ordinary person, there is no advantage to mingle with that group of children, but they will be rubbed with oil from time to time.
Therefore, the other people in the alley are only familiar with Tian Mizhen, and they usually don't walk around to communicate at all. Many of them only know that Tian Mizhen is the head of those children, although they are neighbors, they rarely meet head-on, and they all ask this woman who is dressed very differently to stay away.
Regarding the sudden disappearance of Tian Mizhen and the children, the neighbors' reactions were very flat, just like whose cats and dogs were lost, which is not surprising at all. Maybe in their opinion, it would be better if the children were gone, and the vacated yard could be used by them for other purposes.
After visiting nearly half of the neighbors, Liu San'er has clearly realized that there will be no gain from continuing to track down Tian Mizhen's whereabouts, not to mention that the other party left so simply and without leaving a trace, it seems that he doesn't want to find himself. In this case, the question of how his injuries were miraculously recovered overnight and his cultivation did not decrease at all, as well as everything that happened in the dream realm, can only be put aside as an unsolved mystery for the time being.
......
Back in the guest room of the Thunder Hotel, Liu San'er was shocked to find that Huang Chunchun, Dou Ning and Xiaoxing were all there, and the three of them all looked like they were not giving up. When he asked, he realized that the three of them were worried about his safety, it turned out that he had not heard anything for three whole days, more than two days longer than he imagined that he had only slept in that garden for one night, and it was no wonder that the three of them were like this.
I didn't say anything on my lips, but I was really a little moved in my heart. Quickly thinking that Huang Chunchun still had the poison of the Burning God Pill on his body that had not been unsolved, Liu San'er immediately instructed Dou Ning and Xiaoxing to stay in the inn in peace, and then pulled Huang Chunchun and walked out. They went to the Big Bear Pavilion first, thinking that the people from Daliangmen should also arrive, and it was good to talk to Cheng Yixian secretly, who would have wanted to spend ten yuan in the vicinity to inquire about the first-order middle grade, and they hadn't arrived yet, but it was certain that Taiqingzhai had booked a large number of rooms here early.
By the time I arrived at the Yuanpeng Inn, more than half of the morning had passed. Huang Chunchun's proposal to swagger in was vetoed by Liu San'er.
On the one hand, although Elder Ding claimed to be his master, and according to the current situation, he seemed to be of great use to Elder Ding, but could a woman who dared to poison her own apprentice to force him to submit to him be easy to deal with?
On the other hand, when approaching the Yuanpeng Inn, Liu San'er suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of unease or crisis in his heart, and the closer he got to it, the stronger this feeling became. But when he pretended to ask Huang Chunchun casually, the guy said that everything was as usual.
This is even more weird, and it has to make Liu San'er doubly careful.
On the window seat on the second floor of the Full Immortal Residence diagonally opposite the Yuanpeng Inn, Liu San'er happily told him about the acquaintance with Elder Ding. But why is he not afraid of the ancient beast toad that is comparable to the foundation building and cultivation, it is naturally Li Dai Taozhuang, and he will pass it off, otherwise these alone will be enough for him to explain, not to mention that this is also a little secret of his so far, how can it be easily revealed.
After hearing this, Huang couldn't help but gasp. The face that was originally smiling gradually became solemn. He had already realized that retrieving the antidote this time would not be as simple as he imagined, and it was even a matter of whether he could retrieve it or not.
They discussed it until late afternoon, and then decided whether it was feasible to find someone first and then try to retrieve the antidote on their behalf without startling the snake. So, he called the mortal who looked quite clever in the Immortal Residence and gave him five pieces of first-order middle grade, plus a place to place the antidote. The other party happily went, and promised to complete the task side by side.
After seeing that the runner entered the Yuanpeng Inn, Liu San'er and Huang Chun's hearts gradually let go of most of them.
Huang Chunchun took a bite of the dish and said: "Brother, isn't it that the two of me are too worried, your cheap master himself has no malice, and poisoning you is just a kind of urging you, maybe we spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"
"Hehe... I hope so. After a while, if the person who ran the hall could come back safely with the antidote, it would naturally be the best. But to be honest, I've been restless ever since we approached the inn across the street, feeling that something bad was always waiting for me in the inn. Brother Huang didn't feel anything, you said it's strange or not. Ay... Maybe I'm thinking too much!" Liu San'er said truthfully, but he didn't have much appetite and was too lazy to move his chopsticks: "If... I mean, if the runaway doesn't come out, let's leave first!"
"Withdraw first?" Huang asked in disbelief as he heard it.
"Yes, withdraw first!" Liu San'er nodded affirmatively and said, "Brother, although the poison of the Burning God Pill is powerful, it will not kill you immediately." But the uneasiness I felt in the inn on the other side made me feel that once I got up, I would be sucked in, and I would never recover!"
"But I don't have a little feeling, it stands to reason that my cultivation is not as high as your brother, and my strength is a lot worse than yours, could it be said that what kind of feeling is that the higher the cultivation, the stronger the feeling, a cultivator like me, or that mortal who runs the hall can't feel it at all?" Huang Chunchun said half-teasing and half-serious.
Liu San'er shook his head very calmly: "I don't know... But my feeling is very real, I can deceive others, but I can't even deceive myself! I know that you are worried about the antidote to the Burning God Pill, we can take the antidote as soon as we can, and if we really can't take it, we can buy another copy. This Tianzhenfang City has developed information, as long as you are willing to bid, presumably the antidote to the Burning God Pill is not a problem at all. If it really comes at that time, and the spirit stone to buy the antidote will be provided by me, do you think this is still satisfying?"
"Really?" Huang Chunchun's eyes flashed with an inexplicable brilliance: "Hehe... If you say this, brother, I will put a hundred hearts. There is a way to see the truth in adversity, until now I know that the friends I made before are just the knowledge of wine and meat, only with you, brothers, we don't know each other, heroes cherish heroes... There is a confidant in life who dares to go to the soup for himself, although he is dead..."
Huang Chunchun's words after "although dead" did not come out, because the runner was holding a square box wrapped in red silk cloth in both hands and walked out of the Yuanpeng Inn happily.
Since this moment, Liu San'er and Huang Chunchun's eyes have never left the square box wrapped in silk cloth.
When the runner was about to walk downstairs to the full immortal residence, Liu San'er simply jumped down, grabbed the square box, pushed the shoulder of the runner, and easily jumped back to the seat on the second floor with the power of the rebound.
Everything was done in an instant, and the runner didn't realize that the thing had been snatched until someone pushed him on the shoulder. He wanted to scold, but when he saw that it was the uncle who had paid for his spirit stone who robbed the things, his anger disappeared all at once. Thinking that he had made a small profit by running a few steps easily, he almost screamed out with joy.
After Liu San'er returned to her seat, she was also in a good mood. And just before and after he got the box, he suddenly noticed that the uneasy feeling he had brought from the Far Friends Inn seemed to disappear all at once. This is simply double happiness, he pushed the square box to Huang Chunchun, and said with a smile: "Borrow brother Jiyan, I didn't expect the antidote to be in hand so smoothly, open it quickly, if there is no antidote problem, we will buy some heavy gifts in a while, and then we will meet the Jindan senior sent by the Dustless Sect!"
"Don't be in such a hurry, the matter I brought up last time to put aside the dispute and jointly develop... How's the brother thinking about it... I'll wipe it, what's the matter!" As he spoke, Huang Chunchun had already removed the silk cloth from the square box and opened the box.
It was a palm-slap-smear, two-finger-thick red box, and Huang Chunchun's exclamation came from after looking at the contents of the box. Immediately, he pushed the box over with a wonderful look.
There was no vial of the Burning God Pill in the box, but there was only a spread out note, which was written in Juanxiu's handwriting: Good boy, you shouldn't have delayed coming to see me for the sake of being a mere woman, come over immediately when you see the note, there is something to do, and it is related to the safety of the beam.
In the future, you will meet many girls, they are gentle and considerate, beautiful and generous, they do not think you are poor, they do not think you are ugly, they do not require you to be from a famous family, they do not require you to cultivate how high, and they do not require you to be worth. And if you get tired of it, you can leave at any time, change people at any time, and even if there is a problem afterwards, you don't have to take any responsibility, and give up the pursuit of freedom and faith.
Three hundred, as long as three hundred yuan at a time, the oiran of Pomegranate Skirt Street can satisfy all your fantasies about women.
For my words, maybe you are disdainful now. But one day you will understand that it is human nature to like the new and hate the old, and it is the most stupid thing in the world to give up an entire forest for a tree.
