Chapter 209: Beijing Suburban Funeral Palace (41)
"To say that the most exciting thing about this afternoon is that the old lady Bai personally took action to reveal her true identity, to capture the bloody ghost in blue robe, who was thirsty for skinning and loved skinning. Just listen to the rumbling sound, the whole underground palace was shaken three times, and the falling pieces The stone directly smashed the crowd of bat spirits to death. Guess what happened?"
"Hey! The ghost actually ran away from Old Mrs. Bai! Old Mrs. Bai still wanted to chase, but it was too late and soon, she saw a blood-red light suddenly falling, just like a sunset falling into the sky, reflecting the bright underground palace, blocking the way Take the old lady Bai’s way!”
Xiao Hu San had a talent for telling stories, and his exaggerated tone was quite accurate. Wei Xun listened with interest, and asked him some details about Old Lady Bai's tricks and how the devil merchant escaped.
But when it comes to the details, Little Hu San's claws are numb. After all, its strength is average, and it only dares to use the round light technique to shine from a distance to peek at the battlefield - this is because there is Little Hu San's aura in Mekel's room, which makes Little Hu San He was also hunted down! After escaping to a place, he secretly observed the movements of the pursuers, and happened to spy on this 'lively' scene.
Of course, Xiao Hu San didn't dare to look too close for fear of being discovered by Mrs. Bai. His own strength is also limited, and the scene reflected is actually very blurry. The cadence he just spoke was particularly wonderful, and it was purely a result of his eloquence.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the underground palace, Xiao Hu San successfully escaped back to his ancestors, and cleverly reported all the information he had learned about the war situation.
"The Devil Merchant indeed has a lot of back-ups."
Seeing that Xiao Hu San was really speechless, Wei Xun didn't give him any trouble and asked him to live next door with Bailu Baiweat, while he went back to the room with Yu Hehui.
"Zhou Xiyang takes action, the devil businessman will not die this time."
Yu Hehui said calmly: "He can't let Old Mrs. Bai kill the devil businessman like this."
Zhou Xiyang tried to stop him several times, but Old Mrs. Bai still opened the devil merchant's door. If she really kills the devil merchant, the status of the entire brigade in the underground palace will be affected.
They will go to Tianshou Mountain only the day after tomorrow, and they will have to stay in the underground palace for two days including today. In the past two days, we should focus on stability, and we must not let the old monsters gain the upper hand. Moreover, passengers must make shadow puppets before eight o'clock tonight. If Mrs. Bai continues to make trouble, it is very likely that some passengers will not be able to complete the task on time.
Zhou Xiyang must take action.
"I think he found out that Mrs. Bai couldn't kill the devil businessman, so he just stopped her."
Wei Xun chuckled: "The devil businessman is very good at escaping."
He was able to escape from the Return Way, the Butcher Alliance and some other small tour guide alliances at that time, and he can definitely escape the tracking of the old lady Bai now.
Perhaps Zhou Xiyang was worried that the devil businessman would run towards Bing250, and the old lady Bai who was leading him would also take the opportunity to search Bing250's house, and even take the opportunity to hurt him, so he simply came out to stop him.
"But now that the underground palace is in chaos, it's a good thing for us."
Wei Xun walked to the 'alchemy furnace' simulated by the tentacles of corn shoots and patted the furnace wall: "The earthquake just now was not caused by Mrs. Bai's show of force."
The earthquake in the earth was a strange phenomenon caused by the elixir being refined in the furnace! Wei Xun has also read a lot of mythological and supernatural novels, some of which write that after the golden elixir is refined, Xiangyuntian may mutate into incense.
But now that the sky is covered by thick clouds full of thunder and lightning, the heavy rain keeps falling, and the underground palace is covered by the energy of dragon veins, there should be no change in the sky. Both the Spiritual Snake Bone and the Taisui Golden Elixir are in the body of the corn shoots. Even if the elixir really emits a strange fragrance after it is completed, it will be absorbed by the corn shoots.
The only thing that was difficult to deal with was the earthquake. Wei Xun originally planned to collect the corn shoots into the magic insect ball as soon as he refined the golden elixir. Fortunately, it was just in time for Mrs. Bai to take action. Now the old demons in the underground palace were paying attention to Zhou Xiyang and the devil merchant, so Wei Xun still left the corn shoots here so that the golden elixir could take advantage of the remaining warmth to nourish it.
"Wei Xun, you said Polygonum multiflorum, would he really find Polygonum multiflorum himself?"
Yu Hehui was worried and walked outside again to make sure that the disturbance outside would not affect Wei Xunhou. Only then did he remember what Wei Xun had just said, that the black thread wrapped around the broken finger of the old housekeeper of the Zhi family was most likely a hair strand.
"That depends on his IQ."
Wei Xun smiled: "If it's similar to Tai Sui, then maybe it will come."
Yu Hehui choked and wanted to say something, but felt that what Wei Xun said was quite reasonable. Finally, he coughed and tried to respect Tong Hege: "Actually, Brother Tong is quite careful and smart. Maybe it's because of his IQ." It’s because of the three portions, it looks a bit like that.”
"But could it really be him?"
The more they look forward to something, the more uneasy Yu Hehui becomes, fearing that their happiness will be in vain.
"It's strange that Mrs. Bai would act in such a big way."
Wei Xun said casually: "The spiritual energy of Tai Sui has always been hidden in the spirit snake bones. She only guessed that there were spiritual objects hidden in the spirit snake bones, but she didn't know that it was Tai Sui inside, right?"
"right."
If she had known that there was Tai Sui in the spirit snake bones, when the corn shoots swallowed half of the snake bones and escaped, Mrs. Bai would have chased after her. She would not have been able to stay where she was to grab the remaining snake bones.
Tai Sui is much more precious and important than the spirit snake bone.
"She doesn't know Tai Sui, and the ginseng spirit hasn't been born yet. What could make Old Mrs. Bai angry is that something might happen to the mountain man in her hands."
Bai Lu also said before that the mountain old lady was in the hands of Mrs. Bai. Although Polygonum multiflorum has strong effects on nourishing the liver and kidneys, replenishing essence and blood, and nourishing hair. But Mrs. Bai firstly doesn’t need to nourish her kidneys, and secondly she doesn’t need to turn her white hair into black (the big monster’s white hair is the right way!)
Wei Xun guessed that she had caught the Polygonum multiflorum essence in her hand and spread the news that she was actually using the Polygonum multiflorum essence as bait to catch white deer and ginseng essence. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the White Deer Demon to know the news so clearly.
However, before the ginseng essence white deer was caught, the spirit snake bones and fleece-flower root essence were lost first, which made old lady Bai completely furious.
"That makes sense."
Yu Hehui sighed: "Back then, Polygonum multiflorum spirit was indeed more aggressive among Tong He singers."
Even medical doctors have to hide a secret trick to protect themselves. In the eyes of outsiders, Tong Hege's Polygonum multiflorum is just a cash crop on the way home, used to make money. No one knows that Polygonum multiflorum is also the most aggressive. Its dark brown slender roots are like hair, able to penetrate the enemy's heart silently and inject deadly poison.
Moreover, Polygonum multiflorum can hide in dark places. If it does not show up actively, it will be as if it has disappeared. Wei Xun's evil ghost insects are now almost all over most of the floor tiles in the underground palace. Even the cave outside and even most of Xiaotang Mountain are covered with evil ghost insects.
But still no trace of the mountain man was found.
"The raw Polygonum multiflorum is poisonous, and the essence of Polygonum multiflorum is more toxic."
Yu Hehui said: "At that time, Mao Xiaole helped Tong Hege refine Polygonum multiflorum, which can kill people with just one prick."
"Although Tong Hege is dead now, the toxin of Polygonum multiflorum may still be there."
Yu Hehui couldn't hold himself back and suggested, "Wei Xun, please wake up Tai Sui Jin Dan. I'll go talk to him. It'll be easy with his help in calling Polygonum multiflorum and Ginseng essence."
Yu Hehui was really afraid that Polygonum multiflorum spirit would sneak up on Wei Xun and stab him! Tai Sui was doomed to have a miserable future because of his swearing. Yu Hehui tried his best to describe Polygonum multiflorum as being particularly profitable, just to give Tong Hege more leverage in Wei Xun's heart.
Tai Sui is now in a deep sleep and cannot be contacted. Its soul is hidden in the golden elixir, and Polygonum multiflorum and the others cannot even feel the soul of Tai Sui. Coupled with the hidden scent of snake bones and corn shoots——
Polygonum multiflorum probably feels too old to die! He will definitely come to avenge his brother and assassinate Wei Xun!
It would be a bad thing if it was really pricked!
"Tai Sui is too stupid now."
Wei Xun said perfunctorily: "A fool will only do a disservice."
Fools also have their uses, but instead of letting Tai Sui call Polygonum multiflorum over, Wei Xun thought he would know him for a while. Tong Hege's character, Tong Hege's person, and Yu Hehui's description allowed Wei Xun to outline a general image, but what kind of person Tong Hege was, Wei Xun had to evaluate and examine it himself.
And there is another doubt.
"Why did the mountain man kidnap the old housekeeper of the Zhi family?"
Wei Xun thought about several possibilities. Let's not say that the black thread wrapped around the old housekeeper's finger was puppet silk. If the black thread wrapped around his broken finger was really the black hair of Polygonum multiflorum, there are two possibilities. .
First, it was Shan Weng who took away the old housekeeper of the Zhi family. The hair tangled on his severed finger was exactly what Yu Hehui said was the attack method of Polygonum multiflorum.
Second, there was someone else who took away the old housekeeper of the Zhi family. The other party most likely caught the mountain man and tied black hair around his severed finger to deliberately induce outsiders to judge.
No matter what the possibility is, there is one thing in common, that is, the old housekeeper of the Zhi family is really missing.
"Who's going to deal with him?"
"It's through the old housekeeper of the Zhi family to deal with others."
Yu Hehui frowned: "Maybe it's to lure Bai Xiaotian out."
Bai Xiaotian and the old housekeeper of the Zhi family are on duty together. If the old housekeeper disappears, Bai Xiaotian will definitely be the first to find out. Maybe the person behind the scenes noticed something strange about Bai Xiaotian and deliberately planned it, even using Polygonum multiflorum black hair as bait to induce him to take action?
"wrong."
But Yu Hehui dismissed his own point of view first.
"If they really suspect that Bai Xiaotian is Bai Xiaosheng, they can't use Polygonum multiflorum's black hair as bait. As long as it involves Tong Hege, Bai Xiaosheng will never get involved himself."
If the returnees really get involved, Tong Hege will most likely not be able to come back.
The appearance of Polygonum multiflorum hair strands will actually make Bai Xiaosheng hide deeper.
"Perhaps this is what the other party is thinking. She is planning to make a big move. This way, Bai Xiaosheng and Lu Shucheng are afraid to take action to prevent them from interfering."
Yu Hehui still felt that the puppet master was definitely behind this.
"Old housekeeper of the Zhi family..."
Wei Xun was thoughtful, tapped the alchemy furnace with his fingers, and said slowly: "There is another possibility."
"It is true that the first person to discover that the old housekeeper of the Zhi family is missing is Bai Xiaotian, but normally, from the perspective of others, the first person to discover that the old housekeeper of the Zhi family is missing should be Zhi Kuikui."
Zhi Kuikui and the old housekeeper of the Zhi family are the only two members of the Zhi family in this funeral procession. The relationship between them should be extremely close. The old housekeeper of the Zhi family is missing, and Zhi Kuikui will definitely come forward.
"Don't you think Zhi Kuikui is more secretive than Bai Xiaotian?"
She is obviously the back-up man of the Zhi family, but Zhi Kuikui has always been very low-key. Whether it was in the Eight-Armed Nezha City, the Yangshou Town Funeral Palace, or the current underground palace, she had almost no role at all. Travelers had always been doing things like guarding the coffins.
Zhi Kui Kui is like a transparent person.
"Someone wants to lure out Zhi Kui Kui?"
Yu Hehui frowned and thought deeply, murmuring: "But this doesn't make any sense."
What is the use of eliciting Zhi Kui Kui? The disappearance of the old housekeeper of the Zhi family did make the paper people furious and asked Zhi Kuikui to take action, but it was always the passengers who were responsible for keeping watch on the coffin. Even if the paper man group is destroyed, nothing big will happen to the coffin.
Furthermore, everyone’s attention is now on the journey attraction project, the birth of Ginseng Spirit, the devil merchant’s team leader assessment task and the confrontation between the east and west districts. Who will specifically target Zhi Kui Kui.
"Dream Chase said that the puppet master had sneaked in. In what capacity did she sneak in?"
"Do you suspect Zhi Kui Kui is a puppet master?"
Yu Hehui's eyes moved slightly, but he shook his head: "The possibility is not high. The Journey Inn of Jingjiao Funeral Palace will definitely pay close attention to it. It is difficult to sneak in, and Zhi Kuikui is also a relatively key figure. "
"Even if the puppet master does sneak in, it will definitely be with the most inconspicuous marginal character. For example, a certain paper man, or even a certain piece of paper money. Zhi Kui Kui, she is too conspicuous."
However, according to Wei Xun, Zhi Kuikui has always kept a very low profile and has never made a move at all, which also attracted Yu Hehui's attention.
"If it is really her, then maybe the thing wrapped around the severed finger of the old housekeeper of the Zhi family is really puppet silk."
Yu Hehui sighed.
Zhi Kuikui put away the severed finger of the old housekeeper of the Zhi family, but did not hand it over or show it to anyone. Maybe he was afraid of being exposed. It is deduced that she was the one who got rid of the old housekeeper of the Zhi family. The old housekeeper was definitely very familiar with Zhi Kui Kui. Maybe he discovered something strange about Zhi Kui Kui and wanted to report it to the passengers.
So the Puppet Master simply got rid of him.
But if all this was really done by the puppet master, then the disappearance of the old housekeeper of the Zhi family and the escape of the Polygonum multiflorum spirit may not have anything to do with each other, but they just happened to be close together.
"Not necessarily."
Wei Xun had different ideas.
“These points can be true at the same time.”
Polygonum multiflorum spirit escaped, kidnapped the old housekeeper of the Zhi family, and left the severed finger with black hair as a threat. The puppet master sneaked into the journey to replace Zhi Kwai. She discovered that the old housekeeper of the Zhi family was missing, but she put away the severed finger wrapped in black hair and refused to hand it over.
These eight points can be established simultaneously.
"You said that the puppet master is the tour guide of this ten-year cycle, so she should know Tong Hege."
"right."
"Perhaps she can guess Tong Hege from the combination of Polygonum multiflorum and Lingshen? Or she can confirm from the black hair on the severed finger that the Polygonum multiflorum is Tong Hege's."
"It's possible, you mean..."
"Think about it from another perspective."
Wei Xun said meaningfully: "The puppet master might also want to resurrect Tong Hege."
"How can this be!"
Yu Hehui's first reaction was that it was extremely ridiculous, but when he thought about it again, he became furious, his face darkened, and he gritted his teeth: "She dares!"
The resurrected person will be unconditionally loyal to the rescuer and will never betray him. If Tong Hege is really resurrected by the puppet master, then——
Homecoming will definitely cooperate with the Shepherd Alliance.
The Puppet Master sneaked into the journey, perhaps initially to seize the token of 30 degrees north latitude. But knowing that Bing250 couldn't be killed, she couldn't do anything about it, but she didn't want to leave in despair.
If Tong Hege can be resurrected and held in her hands, then her journey will not be in vain. That's why the puppet master who has been dormant chose to take action now.
"I'll go out and take a look!"
Yu Hehui was restless. He walked quickly to the door, then stopped and turned back, lingering impatiently at the door.
"Why are you so anxious? What I said is only a possibility, and it may not be true."
Wei Xun was calm.
"but--"
But Wei Xun’s analysis really makes sense!
"Besides, the Tai Sui Golden Pill is already in our hands, so there's no need to be afraid even if they get the Polygonum Flower Essence."
Wei Xun said calmly: "It is impossible for Tong Hege to be resurrected by them."
Without one of the three, Tong Hege cannot be resurrected. Wei Xun even felt that if the Polygonum multiflorum essence really fell into the hands of the puppet master, it would be better than staying with the old lady Bai.
After all, the puppet master wanted to protect the safety of Polygonum multiflorum spirit. Old Mrs. Bai is just an old hedgehog. In her eyes, Polygonum multiflorum essence is just a dish, and she may eat it at any time.
"Besides, if this is really possible, I would be more concerned about the person who sent the message to the mountain man."
If Wei Xun's conjecture is true, other people's choices can be explained. The only thing he didn't understand was why the mountain man kidnapped the old housekeeper of the Zhi family.
If he heard Tai Sui asking for help, he would have gone straight to Tai Sui based on his intelligence. The mountain man didn't escape before, so Mrs. Bai should have placed some restrictions on him. His escape this time may have cost him a lot, and he may have even been seriously injured.
The seriously injured Shan Weng thought that he could not save Tai Sui with his strength, so he took the old housekeeper of the Zhi family as a hostage? Then who told him about the relationship between the paper man funeral team and Bing 250, and 'deceived' him into thinking that the old housekeeper of the Zhi family was very important?
Wei Xun intuitively believed that there was still someone hiding behind the turmoil in the underground palace.
Who is the other party and what is the purpose?
It is very simple to contact the Polygonum Multiflorum Essence, just awaken the Tai Sui Golden Pill. But Wei Xun suspected that the Polygonum multiflorum essence was related to the man behind the scenes. The worst possibility was that the Polygonum multiflorum essence had been controlled by the other party.
If Tai Sui's situation was exposed at this time, they would become passive.
"you're right."
The expression on Yu Hehui's face changed and finally returned to calmness.
"It's better to be still than to move now."
There is already chaos outside, and if someone wants to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, they can't mess with themselves at the moment.
"Fortune favors fools."
After making the decision, Yu Hehui relaxed and even joked: "The Polygonum multiflorum essence will be fine."
If he rushed out to save people after hearing Tai Sui's screams, and believed someone's words, thinking that kidnapping the old housekeeper of the Zhi family could threaten Wei Xun's release, then Polygonum multiflorum spirit's IQ should not be high.
"Don't you think I'm cold-blooded?"
Wei Xun looked at Yu Hehui with great interest and said softly: "If you awaken Tai Sui Golden Pill, you can definitely find Shan Weng faster through him."
One minute late, maybe one minute in danger. Especially if the mountain man escapes from the clutches of old lady Bai, he will definitely pay a heavy price and is very likely to be injured.
Although the Tai Sui Golden Elixir is in their hands, there is no way that outsiders can revive Tong Hege first. But if Polygonum Flower Jing is seriously injured or even destroyed, it will be even more difficult for them to resurrect Tong Hege.
"Are we slow now?"
Yu Hehui asked rhetorically.
It's only the second day after arriving in Xiaotangshan. Yesterday, it was just judged that Tong Hege was most likely here, and it was divided into three parts. Now I have found Tai Sui and successfully refined it into a core golden elixir. Later, I got specific information about Polygonum multiflorum essence.
Is this slow? This is not slow!
This is so fast!
Who can save people with Wei Xun's efficiency? Anyway, Yu Hehui couldn't think of the second person.
"Besides, I believe you."
Yu Hehui smiled and said that when he chose to believe in Wei Xun, follow him, and trust him to rescue his old teammates, he took Wei Xun's character into consideration.
No one is perfect and everyone has their own approach. Wei Xun is just suspicious. Even if the resurrected person is absolutely loyal to the rescuer, it will be difficult for him to believe Tong Hege.
When they rescued Yu Hehui before, Yu Hehui was already in a desperate situation and only Wei Xun was the life-saving straw. But Tong Hege, who now has three identities, is far from reaching a desperate situation.
Saving him under this premise is fundamentally different from Yu Hehui's situation.
Maybe not as much as Wei Xun analyzed, maybe Wei Xun just wanted to wait for Tong Hege to fall into a desperate situation before going to rescue him?
Yu Hehui understood this possibility, but the strange thing was that although he was anxious about Tong Hege, he was not very worried either. It was Wei Xun who made him feel reassured.
He believed that Tong Hege could get through the difficulties, and he also believed that with Wei Xun here, Tong Hege would be fine in the end. This kind of trust was a bit blind, just like he trusted An Xuefeng in the first place.
But this is also gradually cultivated through crisis and danger.
Moreover, resurrection is not that simple. The danger Tong Hege is facing now is the difficulty he has to overcome. If someone else comes to the rescue, such as a puppet master, even if the rescue speed is fast, Tong Hege will definitely be in a painful dilemma in the future.
An Xuefeng will never sit idly by and watch, he will rescue people first. But An Xuefeng, as the returning captain, was unable to save the dead on the way back.
Wei Xun is definitely their best choice.
Moreover, Yu Hehui felt that Wei Xun was actually gradually changing.
He will analyze so much this time, explain, and even ask at the end, ‘Don’t you think I’m cold-blooded? ’, in fact, it’s all about evaluation and judgment. If this was his inherent character and he didn't think there was any problem, then he wouldn't ask this question.
So Yu Hehui once again expressed his stance and expressed his absolute trust.
Absolute loyalty and trust may gradually make Wei Xun different. People with strong vigilance and suspicion can indeed live well in hotels, but the string that has been tightened can easily break, and tour guides are especially high-risk groups.
Yu Hehui still sincerely hopes that Wei Xun can find someone he completely trusts and can completely relax around that person.
"rest assured."
What Yu Hehui said made Wei Xun swallow his other words. He looked deeply at Yu Hehui and slowly smiled: "Tong Hege will be fine."
"It's almost six o'clock now. I'll go out and take a look."
There will be a shadow puppet show rehearsal at eight o'clock, which is also the end of today's attraction projects. Visitors must make good shadow puppets. The turmoil in the underground palace will probably subside for a while.
When Wei Xun went out this time, he didn't want to watch the tourists making shadow puppets again, but wanted to see the devil merchant.
Since arriving in Xiaotangshan, no, starting from Yangshou Town, the tour guides live in separate rooms, and Wei Xun's communication with the devil merchant has been greatly reduced. And apart from skinning, the Devil Merchant seemed to be very quiet, just quiet, not causing any trouble at all.
Someone is quiet and definitely wants to be a monster. Wei Xun didn't believe that the Devil Merchant would be so quiet during this team leadership assessment without any other pursuits.
He is really alert and keen, and will not let go of anything strange. And acting alone, Wei Xun was also 'creating opportunities' for Polygonum multiflorum essence.
"Get a bottle of honey water."
Wei Xun raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Let me take care of Xiaocui's princess."
"correct."
Before leaving, Wei Xun turned around again. He thought for a moment, then pulled off his cloak and circled a circle around his chest. Then his hands turned into demonic claws, tore his clothes, and dug out a large piece of flesh and blood on his chest - mud.
"Find a way to make it look like I'm really hurt here."
Wei Xun casually threw the mud to the cheering corn shoots and winked at Yu Hehui:
"I was seriously injured."
* *
Xiaocui's princess is in a bad situation now.
The Devil Merchant was skinning a golden ape with great interest when the door was blasted open. He found that even if he caught some live monsters, even powerful monsters, Mr. Skinner was still most interested in humans, followed by monsters that were similar to humans. For example, the cave spider monkey from before, and this golden ape.
If the Devil Merchant was proficient in Chinese culture, he would know that what he is doing now is actually similar to offering sacrifices. Every time you skin a player, Mr. Skinner will appear. His terrifying shadow becomes more solid, giving the devil merchant more power.
The devil merchants call this a sacrifice.
What Mr. Skinner desires most is to skin people. The stronger he is, the more dangerous he is to the tourists. The Devil Merchant is too weak. Even after being possessed by Mr. Skinner, he could not defeat the travelers and was unable to skin them. But if it is allowed to get stronger like this, the future is really hard to predict.
After all, the monster's skin and soul contain a lot of energy.
The Devil Merchant has been concealing this matter for this reason.
But once Mrs. Bai knocked on the door, he was exposed. If it weren't for Mr. Skinning's possession, it would be difficult for him to escape from the old lady Bai. After all, this old hedgehog is proficient in witchcraft and has extensive research on souls. The devil merchant's ghost state is easily restrained, and even releasing the undead monarch will not bring any benefits.
"I will provide you with more skins, and of course, you will also give me more powerful power."
The devil merchant who was best at escaping hid himself and calmly negotiated with Mr. Skinner who roared in his mind again: "You have also seen that our enemy is very powerful. Because I annoyed her by skinning and sacrificing you, she will keep coming. Cause trouble for us."
"That way I don't have time to peel them."
‘Roar—skin it off, peel it off! ’
Mr. Skinner roared angrily, and the SAN value of the shaken devil merchant dropped to ten in an instant. Fortunately, he was well prepared and took a precious SAN-returning potion, which brought him back to a stable level.
"You can't peel it. Without a perfect skin, you can't see the emperor."
He did not compromise with Mr. Skinner, but his tone became even tougher, even sarcastic: "With the skin you peel now, do you still want to win the emperor's appreciation?"
'Roar--'
Mr. Skinned was still roaring, but his voice was much weaker. A villain like him is ruthless in his methods, even skinning people and animals alive without any hesitation, but when he meets someone who is tougher and has a better background than him, he can be as soft as a puddle of mud. Mr. Skinned, who only has obsession, is even easier to control. The Devil Merchant has already grasped the weakness of his character.
Starting from Yangshou Town, he stayed away from Xiaocui. Although he could not suppress Mr. Skinning, he put himself in more danger. But it is also the psychological control of Mr. Skinner.
Things that are too easily accessible are always not cherished enough.
In order to meet the emperor and high officials in his heart, Mr. Skinner will also work hard to improve the strength of the devil merchant so that he can peel better skins.
But this is like seeking skin from a tiger, like walking a tightrope. No one knows when it will get out of hand.
"Let's make a deal."
The Devil Merchant lowered his voice, with a purple hexagram floating in his pink left eye. He was using his purple title of 'Devil Merchant'.
"I will fulfill your dream and take you to complete a grand performance in front of the emperor, and you will give all your strength and your soul to me..."
'Performance, performance...'
Mr. Skinner muttered, breathing heavily, making the devil merchant's mind seem to be pulling the wind. But Mr. Skin's tone became more anxious and crazy, and even more vigilant: 'No, I, I won't teach you, you can never learn from me...'
"No, no, I don't want to steal your craft. You also know that this is not what I do."
This was not the first time the Devil Merchant had failed, and he was surprised why Mr. Skinner was so vigilant in this regard. Like a complete old-fashioned man, he would rather lose his craftsmanship than let his craftsmanship leak out. No matter how hard the devil businessman pretends to be sincere, the other party has no intention of letting go.
This made the Devil Merchant give up on this path. Now that he mentioned this, it was not to learn skills from Mr. Skinner, but to further stimulate him. It is the usual cunningness of businessmen to first propose a condition that the other party will never accept, and then back off to continue the negotiation.
"But you always have to give me some guarantee. After all, recommending you to that official involves taking a lot of risks."
Sure enough, Mr. Skinned became silent, only the sound of heavy breathing was left.
"If you don't agree with even this, then there is no need for us to continue talking."
The devil merchant pretended to be impatient and said, "I don't even know your name now."
This is the real purpose of the devil merchant!
As long as he knows the name of Mr. Skinner, he is sure to sign a contract with him! After all, the Devil Merchant still has Mr. Skinner's spirit-contaminated pus and blood in his hands. The blood, name, and spirit are enough to represent a person.
but--
'You, how can you...guarantee...'
Mr. Skinner hesitated. In other aspects, he seems very crazy and insane, but when it comes to meeting high officials and the emperor, he is very sharp.
"Tsk."
Difficult.
The Devil Merchant has tried it several times before, and Mr. Skinner would ask this question every time. He answered, "The senior official and I are friends," "The senior official and I are colleagues," and "I am also a senior official," but all failed, and he was not trusted by Mr. Skinner at all.
The most confident one was that he actually said, "I am friends with the senior official," but Mr. Peeling didn't believe it. He stuttered and laughed, saying how could a stinky foreigner like you be friends with the senior official, which made the devil businessman very depressed.
Traveling to the East District would be more difficult for tourists and tour guides in the West District, so he was mentally prepared.
"I am……"
What did you say this time?
The Devil Merchant's brain is spinning rapidly, time is running out, and the official performance will be tomorrow night. This kind of opportunity should be used once or less. You must make the most of Mr. Peeling and improve your own strength. Otherwise it will be difficult tomorrow night...
Think about it, what identity can Mr. Skin identify with? This kind of monster usually has a keen sense of perception and can distinguish the truth and lies of people's words. The Devil Merchant has not lied several times before, but just telling the truth may not be enough. His identity as a foreigner makes Mr. Skinner not trust him enough.
Just being friends and colleagues with Xiaocui is not enough for Mr. Peeling to take the bait, so...
"I am Xiaocui's princess."
The devil businessman said calmly: "Princess, do you know what a princess is?"
"Yes, I am the wife of a high official."
Mr. Skinner:? !
"Really? So you've always thought this way about the Devil Merchant?"
Devil Businessman:? !
The smiling male voice sounded, and the devil merchant was so startled that he immediately became on guard. After a while, he relaxed a little: "Oh Xiao Cui, you really almost scared me to death."
He complained, not surprised that Xiaocui could find him. In fact, there are confrontation missions, and the princess and the king will always report each other's positions.
"How did you come up with the idea of hiding here?"
Wei Xun frowned and covered his nose: "This is too dirty."
That's right, the devil merchant is not hiding in the underground palace, but in the deep pit outside the underground palace, deep in the lair of the bat spirits. There are nearly a hundred bat spirits here. They are almost as stupid as spider monkeys. Although they are monsters, they still retain the original habits of bats. The smell of luminous sand (bat guano) is really pungent.
"Some monsters have too keen a sense of smell."
The devil merchant said happily: "They can't find me here."
Xiaocui is here, this is also a good opportunity.
"Why, am I not your princess?"
The Devil Merchant seemed to be joking casually. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Mr. Skinner, who had immediately hidden his figure as soon as Xiaocui arrived. Now only he could see him. After peeling off so many skins, Mr. Peeling's mind has obviously recovered a bit. Every time he saw Xiaocui, he would hide himself, fearing that he would mutter something about how his humble body should not stain the eyes of adults.
Princess Xiaocui arrived just as she was mentioned, and the effect was really good. If everything goes well this time, it will no longer be difficult to capture Mr. Skinner.
"Are you my princess... Let's play a question and answer game."
Wei Xun was thoughtful and suddenly laughed. The devil merchant also curled up his lips helplessly, knowing that he asked this question, the smart Xiaocui must have guessed something and would not give him this advantage in vain.
"you ask I answer."
The devil businessman said frankly that he felt that Xiaocui was trying to find out more about him. Xiao Cui would dig into it almost every time she was alone with him. This kind of attention made the Devil Merchant a little happy and a little sad.
Although he has a back-up, he really doesn't have as many back-ends as Xiao Cui imagined.
"What I want to ask is-"
Wei Xun drawled his voice, carefully paying attention to the devil merchant's joy value and sense of responsibility, and suddenly said: "You and the puppet master have joined forces?"
The shorter and more positive the questions, the more real information can be gleaned.
The Devil Merchant's reaction was very real.
"ah?"
"Who? I join forces with the Puppet Master? God, if I remember correctly, the Puppet Master is your tour guide in the East District."
The Devil Merchant found it ridiculous: "Besides, her relationship with Black Widow is not good. How could I join forces with the Puppet Master? I don't even know where she is!"
"Yeah."
Wei Xun was doubtful and sneered: "If you hadn't exposed my position...how could she seriously hurt me!"
ah? The puppet master took action? Xiaocui was seriously injured?
The Devil Merchant was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say for a moment. What Xiaocui meant was that he might be hiding in a secret place, or maybe there was Dream Chaser and Yu Hehui helping him hide, but he was discovered by the puppet master and was injured. Already? So you suspect him?
This, this, this...
The devil businessman didn't know what to think. He only saw that Xiao Cui seemed to be very excited. He took two steps closer as if he was going to ask questions. His cloak rose and fell as he moved. The devil businessman vaguely saw what seemed to be a terrifying blood hole on his chest. …
oh.
The devil merchant calmed down. As soon as he saw the bloody hole, he knew that something was fishy. If Xiaocui was really seriously injured in a sneak attack, how could he, a cunning and cautious person like a fool, rush in angrily to confront him?
He also pretended to be like a husband who had been betrayed by his wife, and his tone was full of hurt and disbelief, so he threw away his reason.
"No, no, I didn't join forces with the Puppet Master, really, my dear, you believe me."
The devil businessman cooperated with the acting, holding Xiao Cui's hand with 50% true and 50% false worry, and said anxiously: "Xiao Cui, your injury is too serious, please treat it quickly!"
Who is Xiaocui doing this "serious injury" to?
But there are only two of them here...could someone be watching in secret?
The Devil Merchant's heart tightened, but he felt something was abnormal. Xiao Cui's chest is really hurt. Xiao Cui must be someone who deserves his great attention in acting. However, these people should not be stupid. No one would be fished out so easily——
"You and I are both seriously injured today, so I don't want to take advantage of others."
At this moment, a hoarse and melancholy male voice came from the rock wall. It was vicissitudes of life and exhaustion, like a swordsman who had gone through many years of ups and downs and wanted to fight the enemy to the death. Amidst the tragedy, there is danger and awe-inspiring murderous intent that cannot be ignored.
But at this moment, the devil merchant has only one thought in his mind.
Fool! Got fished out!
