Chapter 2 Accident in the Salt Works
After a while, Shopkeeper He walked out of it, solemnly dragging something wrapped in layers of yellow cloth with both hands, and gently placed it on the table beside Qi Yun.
The yellow cloth unfolded, and inside was a black box carved with a strange pattern, filled with a faint fragrance.
Qi Yun knew as soon as he smelled it that it was the box of Xiaoye Rosewood.
Shopkeeper He opened the box, and inside was a thumb-sized black vial, filled with a hint of shade, and he didn't know what was inside.
"What is this?"
"Demon blood. ”
He shopkeeper said solemnly.
"What?"
Qi Yun was surprised in his heart, and grabbed the black vial.
"Second master be careful, don't touch it easily. ”
Shopkeeper He hurriedly said.
"What's wrong?"
"This thing contains a lot of poison, ordinary people will touch a trace of it, it will be highly poisonous to attack the heart, and there is no place to bury in an instant, although there is a black bottle isolation, but there is always a danger. ”
Shopkeeper He said.
Qi Yun's face changed, his palm retracted again, and said, "This thing is really the blood of demons, and there are really demons and ghosts in this world?"
Shopkeeper He nodded, and said complicatedly: "This is what Master Li bet on me, it is said that his statement was obtained by him with great difficulty, he lost money here yesterday, and he was anxious to return the capital, so he bet 50,000 taels of silver on this thing, saying that it would be redeemed immediately after returning to the book." ”
"It's a pity that he was unlucky last night, and the 50,000 taels of silver were quickly lost, and at that time Master Li said let me take good care of this thing, and he went back to get the money, but unfortunately he never came back after he went back. ”
He was also extremely worried in his heart now, thinking that Master Li's death was likely to be related to this thing, and was about to report to the gang first, when someone from the yamen came to the door early in the morning.
Qi Yun's heart also surged.
Is what Master Li said true or false?
"Have you ever tested what's inside?"
"No, I see that the black bottle is extraordinary, and I haven't touched it, and Master Li definitely didn't dare to deceive us with ordinary things, so I let him go back. ”
Shopkeeper He said.
"Okay, I'll take this thing with me. ”
Qi Yun said.
"Yes, Second Master. ”
Shopkeeper He nodded.
He was also going to report this thing to the helper, and it would be best for Qi Yun to bring it back.
Qi Yun didn't stay any longer, asked Shopkeeper He to wrap the package, carry it in his hand, and left here.
Shopkeeper He sent Qi Yun out of the gambling house all the way.
The headquarters of the Qinglong Gang, located in the south of the city, is not a rich area, but a place where the three religions and nine streams gather, and the streets are full of green buildings and gambling houses, and at night, it is not quiet.
A few years ago, when the Qinglong Gang did not rise, there were often robbers and thieves at night, and murder and robbery were common.
Later, the Qinglong Gang rose up, sat in Nancheng, and destroyed several gambling houses and Qinglou with extremely cruel means, and the rest of the people were all honest.
No one dares to kill people in Nancheng District anymore, and even the number of drunk troublemakers has decreased a lot.
A few years have passed, and the southern city has become quite prosperous.
From this point of view, the existence of the Qinglong Gang has at least a very good effect on maintaining law and order, so in the past few years, the yamen has also been disgusted with the Qinglong Gang, and on the other hand, they have to deal with them with a shy face.
In the words of his eldest brother Qi Teng, their Qinglong Gang is equivalent to the night pot of these officials and masters, everyone thinks they are dirty, but everyone can't do without them.
However, the cooperation between the Blue Dragon Gang and the government can be regarded as taking what they need.
In the past few years, the government has suppressed many emerging and foreign forces, which can firmly sit on the top spot.
The vermilion door was wide open, two mighty stone lions stood quietly in front of the door, and four good hands stood under the eaves, guarding the headquarters gate with a solemn face.
As soon as Qi Yun came back, he found that there were many fewer people in the courtyard, and he couldn't help but wonder.
"Junko, where has this person gone?"
He summoned a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy and asked
"Back to the second master, a few brothers guarding the salt farm had an accident, and the helper brought someone over half an hour ago. ”
The boy was a little swarthy and said
"What's wrong?"
Qi Yun asked in surprise.
Junko's face was a little unnatural, and she said fearfully: "According to the news that came, the Fubo who guarded the salt works... They were all dead, and when they were found, their bodies were soaked in salt pools, all salted and shriveled. ”
He seemed to be able to think of that scene, and there was some horror in his little eyes.
"What?"
Qi Yun was surprised: "Do you know who did it?"
"This hasn't been found out yet, we just got the news, Fauber contacted us two days ago, and it was only two days before something happened. ”
Junko said.
An unspeakable pressure appeared in Qi Yun's heart again.
Is this done by people? Or is it the same as Master Li's family, a demon and a ghost?
There was a chill down his spine.
He knew that Fu Bo was in his early fifties, and he looked like a good man on the outside, but in fact he was ruthless, he had practiced martial arts, he had killed a tiger with his bare hands when he was young, and he could shake half of Pingyang City with a quick knife in one hand.
Their Blue Dragon Gang has a total of five salt farms, which is one of their main sources of income, and they have always been guarded by Fu Bo, so it is conceivable that their eldest brother values him.
But such a strong person actually said that he would die.
"Will something happen to the eldest brother?"
His heart suddenly tightened.
Qi Teng is his biggest backer, once Qi Teng dies, he will definitely be the first to become the other party excluded by everyone in the gang, and the end will inevitably be even more miserable.
For the first time, Qi Yun realized the importance of strength.
It's not enough to have a backer.
The most important thing for people is to rely on themselves!
What's more, so many strange things have happened one after another, and I can't guarantee that one day it will appear on my head.
Martial arts!
You have to practice martial arts!
Qi Yun came up with the idea again.
No matter how hard and tiring it is, this time you have to persevere.
"Did Protector Lin go too?"
He asked.
"Go, such a big thing, Lin Protector rushed over as soon as possible. ”
Junko said.
Qi Yun was silent in his heart and walked towards the room.
There is such a big thing happening in the salt field, with the temperament of the eldest brother, he will never come back if he doesn't find out the matter.
His eldest brother is a typical character who will revenge, and personal vendetta will never alarm the government, he has his own set of special revenge methods, and he will not give up if he does not arrest the murderer.
Therefore, in the next few days, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to see his eldest brother and Lin Protector.
in the room.
Qi Yun's heart was heavy, and he thought deeply.
Suddenly, he looked at the package he had brought back.
What kind of demon blood is it, and can it be used as a self-defense?
He unwrapped the package, lifted the box, looked at the cold black vial inside, hesitated for a moment, wrapped his palm in a silk handkerchief, and picked up the black vial.
The tentacles were cold, like a block of ice had been held in your hand.
With the other hand, he also took out the silk handkerchief and wrapped it, and carefully opened the lid of the bottle, and an eerie and cold aura suddenly emerged from it.
In just a moment, Qi Yun felt cold all over his body, as if he had suddenly fallen into a bottomless ice cave, and the cold hairs on his body all stood up, as if he had walked into the cemetery alone, and someone was blowing cold air behind him.
He shuddered uncontrollably, his eyes cautiously looking into the black bottle.
It was so dark that I couldn't see anything.
He thought about it for a while, looked at the potted plant on the side, and was about to test the power of this thing, but suddenly the black bottle in his hand made a cracking sound, and it actually shattered directly in his hand.
His face changed, and he hurriedly let go, but it was too late, and a drop of turquoise liquid passed through the silk handkerchief and entered his palm.
Laugh at!
A cloud of green smoke came out of his palm, quickly dissipated, and even the cold aura disappeared at once.
+30 point value
A white light flew by.
Qi Yun's face was stunned for a moment, and then he looked down at the ground.
The black jade bottle was shattered into more than a dozen copies, and there was no trace of coldness in it, and the silk handkerchief in his hand was burned out of a small eye the size of chopsticks, and other than that, there was nothing abnormal.
But what was that white light just now?
Qi Yun frowned and thought.
Suddenly, his body froze in place, his eyes glazed over.
A hazy glow appeared on his panel, gradually converging into a pale blue translucent panel.
Credits: 30
Qi and Blood: 1 (can be raised)
Spirit: 1 (can be promoted)
Energy: 0 (can be raised)

Qi Yun rubbed his eyes and opened them again.
The panel remained motionless, clearly visible in front of him.
