Martial Arts: Gain a Jiazi internal force at the beginning!

Chapter 169 Organs
"Feng Wu? He didn't sleep in the middle of the night. Why did he go out?"

Tang Huayi followed Jiang Ran's gaze and saw Feng Wu running wildly in the night, jumping out of the inn's wall in the blink of an eye.

The two looked at each other and Jiang Ran said softly:

"Go and see."

"do not want!"

Tang Huayi grabbed Jiang Ran's wrist:
"I won't go. What if the headless ghost wants to talk to Feng Wu late at night, and we disturb him, and we are asked to replace him later?"

"Is this afraid?"

Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows slightly: "How on earth did you, the majestic demon sect witch, manage to be so cowardly as a mouse?"

"Believe it or not, if I become bolder, I can take care of myself!"

"Then you can pack one and show it to me."

"...When there are no more ghosts."

Tang Huayi felt a little guilty: "Brother-in-law, let's not go, okay? I'll sleep with you."

"You should use less of those words of tiger and wolf."

Jiang Ran rolled his eyes: "At this moment, Feng Wu didn't even know where he had gone and what he was chasing. Okay, let's go to sleep."

"You're not with me?"

Tang Huayi tilted her head and looked at Jiang Ran: "Brother-in-law, are you really a gentleman?"

"kindness?"

Jiang Ran glanced at her: "The trouble is over, go to bed quickly, otherwise, believe it or not, I will throw you out?"

"Good good."

Tang Huayi suddenly didn't dare to talk anymore, stuck out his tongue at Jiang Ran, and ran to the bed in small steps. After covering himself with the quilt, he revealed a pair of eyes.

She seemed to be smiling, her eyes curved like a pair of crescent moons:
"Brother-in-law, the bed is full of your smell."

"I haven't showered in a few days, so you can bear with the smell."

"... I don't understand the style."

Tang Huayi snorted, covered his head with the quilt, turned over hard, and faced Jiang Ran with his butt.

Jiang Ran was so happy that he didn't bother to argue with her, so he just came to the table and sat down.

When I mentioned the teapot, I subconsciously wanted to pour a cup of tea, but the teapot was empty. Then I remembered that this hotel is no better than an inn.

And most of the things here are quite dirty. Even if there is tea, I don’t dare to drink it.

He shook his head and put it down again.

Looking out the window, he was still a little worried about Feng Wu running out in the middle of the night.

Although there is no friendship between them, I always feel that there must be some connection between them when they go out in the middle of the night.

Jiang Ran didn't believe it about the headless ghost.

But if someone is up to something, then he agrees with it... But what does this matter have to do with Feng Wu?
With this thought in mind, he heard another footsteps coming to the door.

Jiang Ran was a little surprised, why is his room so lively tonight?

Tang Huayi, who was lying on the bed, also heard the noise, was startled, and quickly turned over.

When the two people looked at each other, they heard Ruan Yuqing's voice coming from outside the door:
"Young Master Jiang...you, have you fallen asleep?"

Tang Huayi suddenly glanced at Jiang Ran, full of disbelief.

Although she didn't say anything, her eyes clearly expressed, 'Why did she come to you in the middle of the night? '?
Jiang Ran rolled his eyes and replied with four words, 'None of your business'.

"..."

Tang Huayi gritted his teeth and wanted to draw a knife to kill.

Jiang Ran pointed to the door and spread his hands.

Tang Huayi took a deep breath and decided to endure it for a while, then gave Jiang Ran a troubled look.

'what should I do now? '

Jiang Ran pointed to the wardrobe.

'Hide and hide. '

Tang Huayi glared at him fiercely, carefully got off the bed, opened the closet and got in.

At this moment, Ruan Yuqing asked again:
"Jiang Shaoxia?"

"here I am."

Jiang Ran spoke softly, and glanced in the direction of the closet again. He saw Tang Huayi staring straight at him, then stretched out two fingers to mark his eyes, and then stretched them towards Jiang Ran.

It means 'I'm watching you'.

"..."

Jiang Ran was too lazy to pay attention to her. When he raised the bolt, Tang Huayi quickly closed the closet door.

If Ruan Yuqing discovered that she was in Jiang Ran's room at this moment, the matter would be completely unexplainable.

First of all, why she is a woman is a big question.

If she immediately resumed her identity as 'Li Tianxin', the situation of two grown men staying up most of the night and staying in the same room would make Ruan Yuqing even more imaginative.

This woman is not some innocent little girl.

I have read a lot of theoretical knowledge from books, but who knows where to go?

When the door opened, Ruan Yuqing looked at Jiang Ran and breathed a sigh of relief:
"Young Master Jiang...are you okay?"

Jiang Ran was a little surprised:

"What can I do?

"Why did Miss Ruan come here in the middle of the night? Did you not sleep?"

"...Can't sleep."

Ruan Yuqing let out a breath, took another look at Jiang Ran's dark room, and pondered for a moment:
"Can...can I go in?"

"come in."

Jiang Ran gave way, and Ruan Yuqing walked in cautiously.

Looking around the room, he came to the table and sat down, letting out a gentle breath.

Jiang Ran gave her a strange look, didn't close the door, turned back and sat down:

"Why does Miss Ruan seem to be in shock? Did you discover something?"

"Not at all..."

Ruan Yuqing frowned slightly: "However, after resting tonight, I always feel that there seems to be something swimming around. Sometimes I can hear some strange sounds, and just now there are footsteps leaving. But wait for me When I checked, there was no trace.

"And, to this day, I can always hear movement around me."

Jiang Ran felt a little weird when he heard it, and it didn't feel like it was true.

His inner strength is profound and unpredictable. If there are really so many sounds lingering around him, there is no reason why he can't hear them.

As for the footsteps, they were probably Feng Wu's.

This person really ran away...

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran said to Ruan Yuqing:
"You stretch out your hand."

Ruan Yuqing's heart moved and she immediately stretched out her wrist.

Jiang Ran put three fingers on her wrist, and after a moment, he frowned slightly.

The next moment, he raised two fingers together and placed them on Ruan Yuqing's eyebrows.

As soon as the Zhengxin Heart Meridian is turned, the inner energy penetrates from the center of the eyebrows and spreads throughout the body in the blink of an eye.

Ruan Yuqing was unable to move for a moment and did not dare to move rashly.

After about a cup of tea, Jiang Ran felt that his internal energy was leaving his body.

She also breathed a huge sigh of relief. She felt that the sounds that had been lingering in her ears had disappeared. She raised her head and looked at Jiang Ran:
"I've been poisoned?"

"It's not poisonous, it's just a little smoke.

"It's just that this kind of poison is difficult to detoxify. Because this thing will dissipate on its own even if it is detoxified overnight."

When he said this, he frowned slightly:

"But when did you get poisoned?

"We all ate in the same place tonight... Mr. Cheng brought the food he brought with him, and Dao Wuming and the others took a bite with us.

"And the food we eat is all cooked by Luo Qingyi himself. And Li Tianyu is watching over him... Even if there is any problem with the old man, he has no chance to do anything about it."

Among those who were poisoned in this inn, the most likely person to be poisoned was the rickety old man.

This person's identity is unknown and his origin is suspicious. Jiang Ran has not attacked him because he does not seem to know martial arts.

Moreover, the mind is muddled.

In addition, Jiang Ran and others only planned to rest for one night in this hotel and did not intend to cause any trouble.

If this person really poisoned him, he was really seeking death.

Ruan Yuqing shook her head:
"I don't know how I got poisoned. After I went back to the room after dinner tonight, everything was normal.

“I have never used anything in the room.

“At the beginning, everything was fine, and I didn’t dare to sleep, so I just sat on the bed and meditated.

"I don't know when it started, but there was a sound of chirping in my ears... I wanted to go out and look for it, but... but..."

When she said this, she was a little embarrassed to speak, and after a moment of silence, she continued:

“But a little scared.

"Young Master Jiang, don't laugh at me.

"Although Roushui Sword has some reputation in the world, I am a woman after all, and I am always... always a little afraid of these strange stories, strange powers and gods.

“So, even though I heard the sound, I didn’t dare to go out to check.

"I didn't hesitate to get up until I heard footsteps, but unfortunately, by the time I checked, the footsteps had gone away.

"I didn't know who that person was. I was worried that you were in danger, so I hurried over to check." Jiang Ran nodded:

"Miss Ruan, let's go to your room and have a look.

"It's best to wake up everyone else to avoid another accident."

He said the last sentence while looking at the closet.

Tang Huayi in the closet glared at him fiercely. Seeing him and Ruan Yuqing get up and go out, she wanted to stab Jiang Ran to death with her eyes.

Ruan Yuqing asked:

"Then should we go wake people up first, or go to my room first?"

"Go and check in the room first."

Ruan Yuqing had no objection, and the two of them walked towards Ruan Yuqing's room.

This distance is not too far.

Jiang Ran allocated rooms, and naturally most of his people were in one place.

Because Ruan Yuqing is a woman, she is alone in a room.

As for Tang Huayi... Although she is dressed as a man, she is actually a girl, so she has her own room.

Li Tianyu, Luo Qingyi, and Mr. Da all live in pairs, so they can take care of each other.

Although Jingtan layman was alone like Jiang Ran, he was considered a guest after all. Jiang Ran couldn't give too much orders, so he let him stay alone.

Therefore, Jiang Ran had to live in a room by himself, although he could share a room with 'Li Tianxin'.

But after all, both of them knew who the other person was.

Some things are nice to say but not nice to hear.

But Jiang Ran didn't expect that Tang Huayi would come to his room in the middle of the night. If he had known this, it would be better not to bother him so much.

After arriving at Ruan Yuqing's room, Jiang Ran took out the Huozhezi from his arms.

The oil lamp in the room was lit.

The soft light pushed away the darkness, adding a little warmth to the light in the room.

There is light rain outside the window, hitting the eaves, which also makes people feel comfortable. If this room is not a bit gloomy after all, a good sleep in such an environment will be extremely refreshing.

Jiang Ran's eyes moved across the room inch by inch, checking the situation in the room with Ruan Yuqing.

I just turned around and saw nothing strange.

"The windows in the room are intact and there are no holes. It's not the misty smoke blown through the bamboo tube."

Ruan Yuqing frowned: "I haven't touched the lamps in the room. I don't think they were tampered with in the lamp oil."

Jiang Ran nodded slightly. He lit the oil lamp as soon as he arrived, just to see if the weirdness was here.

If someone had prepared in advance and drugged the lamp oil.

After the oil lamp is lit, the drug is released along with the fire, and it can also poison people silently.

But now it seems that there is nothing wrong with the lamp oil.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran came to the bed again to check.

The beds in this hotel are also different.

The bed in Jiang Ran's room was an ordinary wooden bed, but the bed in Ruan Yuqing's room was a canopy bed.

There are pillars at the four corners and four legs on the top of the bed. Although it does not look new, when compared with other furniture in the room, it is obvious that it was not purchased at the same time.

Jiang Ran came to the bed and sat down, looking up the pillar.

Suddenly he frowned slightly:

"There are also carvings here...is it an animal head? Why is it on the inside?"

Generally, such carvings tend to look better on the outside.

How can there be any animal head facing inwards?
Hearing this, Ruan Yuqing came to sit next to Jiang Ran, and sure enough, she saw that the four corners inside the bedpost were carved with animal heads.

If you look carefully, you can also find that the animal head is hollow and has a small hole.

The two looked at each other, and suddenly realized.

"Did the mist come from here... When was this bed changed?"

When Jiang Ran said this, he reached out to pick up the animal head carving. When his Qiqiao heavenly hand touched it, he immediately realized that the animal head was movable.

Subconsciously, he turned slightly, and immediately heard a click.

Jiang Ran and Ruan Yuqing were sitting on the bed. When this sound came out, they both felt the bed board collapse at the same time, and their bodies naturally fell into a slope.

The slope was made extremely smooth. Caught off guard, the two of them slid down for a while, and then Jiang Ran controlled his body with the Hidden Shadow Step.

His Latent Shadow Magic Step has the ability of a gecko to walk on walls. With his limbs together, he can stick himself to any complex environment.

Now when I looked up, I heard a click and the bed board had been closed again.

Jiang Ran held Ruan Yuqing in his arms, looked up at the bed board, pondered slightly, and then simply relaxed:
"Let's go down and see."

"it is good."

Ruan Yuqing nodded.

Being with Jiang Ran, I didn't feel there was any danger.

The two of them simply relaxed their bodies and allowed their bodies to slide down.

Jiang Ran thought for a moment, how could this hotel be so weird?
Was the mechanism already left behind when it was built?

Or is it that it was artificially transformed later?
I had never thought about it carefully before, but now I think about it, the overall structure of this hotel is in the shape of a "back". Except for one side of the porch that goes straight upward, the others are in a "concave" shape, with rooms on three sides.

Calculated in this way, one side can accommodate three rooms. Overall, there should be nine rooms on the first floor. Even if it needs to make way for the stairs, there must be eight rooms anyway.

As a result, there are only six now.

That was probably to make way for the secret passage in the room.

Otherwise, you can only fall from the second floor to the room on the first floor, but not anywhere else.

With this thought in his mind, Jiang Ran controlled the speed while sliding down.

Lest there be any traps at the end of the mechanism.

After sliding like this for a while, the exit was already seen.

Jiang Ran's eyes narrowed, and he saw a cold light shining in the darkness at the exit.

It was a blade embedded at the end of the dark passage.

Jiang Ran snorted coldly and stopped right in front of the blade.

Ruan Yuqing looked at the blade that was almost reaching his feet, and his face turned slightly pale:

"It's so sinister."

"If you roll down here in your sleep, there will be no abnormality in the early stage. But when you reach the end, you will be decapitated or split into two parts.

"Ning Jiuyuan said that there are rumors of headless ghosts around this inn. I'm afraid they came from here."

Jiang Ran frowned:

"Just why is this so?
"The inn was established by the imperial court, not a black shop... What do you want to do to make it like this?"

As he said this, he reached out and hugged Ruan Yuqing.

From the gap of the blade, slide it down.

As soon as the footsteps hit the ground, a crash was heard.

Jiang Ran also fell from here so far, looking down, there were several corpses and skeletons around him.

"Are these all travelers who lived here and died unfortunately?"

Ruan Yuqing's face turned dark: "That rickety old man will die!"

Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows slightly:

"They must be the smart ones here, otherwise they wouldn't have discovered the details on the bedpost and opened the trap.

"But it seems that the reason why there are so many legends circulating here is that there is no evidence at all.

“Mostly because these people have already died here.

"Either he died under this mechanism, or he was caught in the smoke and died somewhere else.

"If it is really the old man who did it, he has been operating here for so many years. He will not just kill people for fun for no reason... What on earth is he going to do?"

Jiang Ran blew on the fire that had just been extinguished, lighting up the surrounding area.

It was discovered that this was a stone chamber, judging from the several turns and heights they took along the way.

This should already be the underground of Guanyi.

"At first glance, there is no door in this room. But it is impossible to completely seal it... Otherwise, how could there be so many arrangements here? Miss Ruan, let me look around and see if we can find anything. trace."

"it is good."

The two of them did what they said and immediately began to search around.

At the same time, Tang Huayi, who crawled out of Jiang Ran's room, had restored the appearance of 'Li Tianxin' through the Great Transformation Technique.

Go to Li Tianyu and others' room and wake them up one by one.

As a group of people gathered in one place, they immediately felt twice as safe.

Jingtan layman glanced at Tang Huayi:
"Young Master Li, what's going on?"

Tang Huayi was about to explain the process, but of course he had to change his explanation.

She couldn't let anyone know that she only found out about this when she sneaked into Jiang Ran's room.

But before he could speak, he heard an exclamation coming from outside the hotel.

Everyone was stunned and immediately flew to look for him.

But within a moment, they had arrived inside the wall, where a headless corpse was lying in a pool of blood.

Judging from his clothes, he is an escort from Tianyang Escort Bureau.
