Fragrance on the Moon

Chapter 53 Life and Death

At daybreak, the Spirit Talisman Island is just around the corner.

The weather was fine, and the fog on the sea dissipated quickly. When the boat slowed down, Ah Liu and Lin Chaoying, who were standing on the deck, saw the whole picture of the Spirit Talisman Island described by Archie and others.

"Much smaller than expected." Lin Chaoying said, "It's a good thing..."

"Yeah." A Liu nodded, "And there aren't many houses, so there shouldn't be more than a hundred permanent residents."

"It's impossible for all of these hundred to be masters." He said again.

A Liu knew that he wanted to persuade herself to relax, so she pursed her lips and smiled, saying that since she was about to arrive, she should make some preparations first.

"Until the truth comes to light, the people of Wuzheng Villa must stay quietly on the boat."

Lin Chaoying nodded: "I'll call the others."

The two moved separately, and after a quarter of an hour, the people on the ship except Wuzheng Villa joined up on the deck.

"Wu Hua and Lao Ji stay on the boat." A Liu's arrangement is the same as usual, "Both children need someone to take care of them, and the people from Wu Zheng Villa also need someone to watch over them."

"Okay." Ji Bingyan's biggest advantage is knowing her strengths, "You can rest assured that I'm on board."

Wuhua has no objection, he has no combat power at all now, he wished to squat on the boat, even serving tea and water, it was better than going down and fighting with others.

"I brought the signaler." A Liu raised the things in his hands to the two of them, "If you can't see the signal or our people within an hour, you can go straight away."

"This won't work." Ji Bingyan quit, "I can't leave you two behind."

The two of you are of course referring to Ah Liu and Hu Tiehua.

A Liu took a deep breath and said: "But no matter what, you have to ensure the safety of the two children first. If the three of us go in and there is no chance of winning, then it's useless for you to get off the boat. Why don't you let the young master Ye and Chuuxue go first?" Send them back to Nanhai, and then find another way, with your current relationship with Nanhai, it shouldn't be difficult to borrow some people from Baiyun City, and it's easier to handle things with more people."

After saying these words, Ji Bingyan was really speechless. She couldn't find any angle to refute, so she could only agree in silence.

Seeing his unhappy expression, Ah Liu raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "So in fact, you are my last retreat. As a retreat, you must first ensure your own safety."

Ji Bingyan didn't speak.

On the other hand, Wu Hua looked at the heavy atmosphere and whispered, "Me too!"

A Liu glanced at him, and said that I would thank you if you didn't trouble me.

"Okay, it's almost here." She glanced sideways, "Remember my words."

Ji Bingyan stared at her for a while, and finally turned to Lin Chaoying, without saying anything, but seemed to have some kind of confirmation, and finally nodded.

After the boat reached the shoal, Ah Liu got off the boat with Hu Tiehua and Lin Chaoying.

In the early morning, the seaside was very humid, and Ah Liu had a bad nose, but her other four senses were far superior to ordinary people. Not long after she got off the boat and went to the island, she keenly caught the sound coming from the center of the island.

The voice was extremely mournful, and it was not an exaggeration to say a wail.

Her heart was shocked when she heard it, and she was about to make a serious distinction, but the voice stopped abruptly as if it was cut off by something.

"Did you hear that?" She asked Lin Chaoying and Hu Tiehua, "Someone was screaming just now."

"No." The two said in unison.

But after saying this, Lin Chaoying suddenly frowned and said, "The smell of blood is very strong on this island."

Hu Tiehua sniffed, carefully identified it, and nodded: "It's a little bit, but the smell of sea water is also very strong, so it's not too obvious."

A Liu immediately quickened his pace: "Let's hurry up."

Although Lin Chaoying followed, she still reminded: "Be careful."

Hu Tiehua was made nervous by their posture, and subconsciously relaxed her movements.

As a result, the three of them went all the way in, but they didn't meet anyone.

Ah Liu didn't hear any wailing anymore, but as they got closer to the heart of the island, even she, who was born with a bad sense of smell, could smell the bloody smell that Lin and Hu mentioned just now.

It can be seen how heavy the smell of blood is.

After a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at the most densely populated place on the island through bushes of different heights.

But before they stood still in front of these houses, the door in front of them suddenly opened without any wind!

An indescribable sense of danger came to his mind, without even thinking about it, Aliu reached out and grabbed the back collars of his companions on the left and right sides, tipped his toes, and swept up against the wind in an instant.

The salty sea breeze blew over their foreheads, she looked down and found that there were patches of white smoke rising from where they were standing just now!

"What!" Hu Tiehua was really taken aback, "Is it poison? Or a hidden weapon?"

"It may be a hidden weapon coated with poison." A Liu had never seen such a thing before, and was still in shock at the moment, "But I have a hunch that something serious will happen if I don't avoid it."

When her words fell, a white shadow suddenly floated out of the door that opened without wind, and asked, "Why are you still here?"

A Liu was startled: "It's you—"

Hu Tiehua and Lin Chaoying also reacted immediately, "Who was that person last night?"

Ah Liu didn't answer, because the moment she saw this person, she didn't have the time to distract herself from talking with her companion.

At this moment, every organ in her body couldn't be more tense. She stared at this man, even forgetting to breathe for a while.

When she was looking at this person, the other party was actually looking at her.

Just now, in order to hide from the unknown poisonous hidden weapon, she flew into the air, borrowed the power of the branches, and moved up the tree at once. Now she is bent and squatting on the top of the tree, like a crane that will flap its wings at any time.

This posture is suitable for shooting, but also for escaping.

It's just that the former is likely to lose, while the latter still has a few chances.

If possible, she really didn't want to choose the former.

"Since you are not from Lingfu Island, why do you care whether I come or not?" It took a long time before she heard herself speak.

"Because I'm here to clean up the house." He narrowed his eyes, raised his head and said in a low voice, "If you come to do business with this group of trash, you can only die with them."

"No, no!" Hu Tiehua was taken aback by his gestures before, but now that he heard this sentence, he finally came back to his senses and immediately denied, "We are not here to do business, we are here to investigate what this island is. The bottom line!"

But he obviously didn't want to talk to Hu Tiehua very much, he didn't even turn his eyes away after listening, and still stared at Ah Liu, as if waiting for her reaction.

Aliu thought for a while, and said in a nutshell: "We are indeed here to find out the details of Spirit Talisman Island, because we met people from Wuzheng Villa in the sea before, and happened to know something about this island, so we wanted to find out. .”

Hearing the words Wuzheng Villa, he finally reacted a bit, frowned slightly, and said, "This group of trash helped the young master of Wuzheng Villa change his eyes."

A Liu: "Yes!"

"The Yuan family's father and son are ruthless and plan to kill all the people who have been to Lingfu Island as soon as they return to the Central Plains." She took advantage of the situation to explain, "But they have a lot of scruples about Lingfu Island, so I wanted to come here to find out what is going on on this island. Where is it holy?"

The man in white didn't know if he believed her or not, he looked at her for a while, and suddenly asked: "Then where are the father and son of the Yuan family?"

Aliu said he was on my boat.

"In order to prevent them from causing trouble, before I got off the boat, I activated their acupoints."

"Take me to meet them." He paused, "If what you tell is the truth, I won't do anything to you."

Ah Liu weighed it up, she couldn't fight, and if she escaped alone, she could do it alone, Lin Chaoying and Hu Tiehua might not be able to keep up, so why not listen to this person's arrangement first, and clarify the misunderstanding before talking?

Thinking of this, she nodded.

But when she nodded, what she thought was that the three of them would come down from the tree and lead the person over in a friendly manner. She didn't expect that before she finished nodding, this person would fly in front of her like a gust of wind. Stretching out his long arms, he took her into his arms.

If Ah Liu wanted to hide, she could actually dodge, but she didn't want the other party to think that she was uncooperative, so she hesitated for a moment.

In just this moment, she fell into this man's arms, and was brought to the ground by him.

The moment her feet landed on the ground, the hand that was clasping her shoulders also moved to the back of her neck, as if carrying a cat.

A Liu: "..."

Seeing this, Lin Chaoying almost drew his sword. Fortunately, she winked wildly, so he held back, but he still couldn't help but said, "Let her go, we will take you there."

The man in white didn't seem to hear.

A Liu: "Forget it, if this can reassure Your Excellency, it's fine, anyway, we didn't lie."

The man in white hummed, and urged Lin Chaoying and Hu Tiehua: "Let's go..."

Lin and Hu could only walk ahead and return along the road.

Fortunately, the road was not difficult to walk, and after another quarter of an hour, they returned to the shore.

Ji Bingyan and Wuhua were taken aback by this scene at first, but they were relieved when they learned that the other party was completely different from Lingfu Island. The original father and son invited them out.

When the man in white saw Yuan Suiyun, he only glanced at him, then smiled mockingly, and said, "You really are a lucky young master."

After saying that, he let go of Aliu.

Just as Ah Liu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard another unusual sound of wind in his ears.

Taking a closer look, white smoke rose from the Yuan family's father and son at some point.

"I already know about the business that your father and son made with Spirit Talisman Island. The eyes that have been changed cannot be changed again, and I have no intention of taking your lives, but this method of changing eyes should not have been kept in the world, and you have also killed More than one innocent person."

He said, "So from now on, you too will have to suffer."

"The life and death talisman I planted for you just now has no real antidote." He looked at the father and son, and said again, "When it happened, it was so painful that I couldn't live without it. If you tighten your tails and behave well in the future, I will send someone to send you a solution regularly. medicine, or—”

When Ah Liu heard the words "Life and Death Talisman", he finally came to a realization: "Your Excellency is from Vulture Palace?!"

"Yes." He admitted directly, "The so-called Spirit Talisman Island was created by the old department in the palace. They thought that the Vulture Palace and the palace retreated to the world, so no one would be able to punish them."

A Liu: "No wonder."

I just said how could anyone in the world practice martial arts to such an extent, but if it was the Vulture Palace, it would not be so strange.

"Since you have no contact with Spirit Talisman Island, let's assume you haven't seen it today." He looked indifferent.

"Then... can we go?" Hu Tiehua tentatively asked, "It's nothing to do with us, is it?"

"It's gone." After he finished speaking, he remembered something, and turned to Ah Liu again, with a shallow smile, and said, "By the way, tulips suit you very well."
