Si Wuxiu was not in a good mood, Tangning could feel it, and he could even say something like "he's not bad", so he felt a little out of breath.

So Tangning hugged the head that had been hit hard, and didn't know what to say, especially since he knew that classmate Si was angry with him.So the two stared at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

At this time, a third person was needed to break the deadlock... Tangning sincerely hoped that this person would be Yu He or Lei Peng, even if it was Murong Du!

In the end, the third person came, but it was Long Rui.

Tangning: "..."

Tangning looked at her nervously. This girl easily offends people when she speaks. Classmate Si's mood is already bad enough. If she adds more bricks and tiles, she might be so angry that she vomits blood!

I didn't get hurt when I fought with the demon corpse, but it's too bad to be vomited blood or something...

I saw Long Rui walked up to Si Wuxiu, stood still, with a look of humiliation in the embarrassed expression: "You won the bet."

Si Wuxiu looked at her indifferently.

"Do you want to watch me kneel here, or choose another place, I have no choice." Long Rui clenched his hands into fists, took a deep breath, and said, "But I have a request."

Long Rui used "request" here instead of "demand". Tangning noticed that her attitude was a little less arrogant and more sincere.Although it doesn't look obvious, and it's still a little blunt, it has made great progress compared to the previous attitude.

"If you have a request, do I have to agree to you?" Si Wuxiu had an indifferent expression on his face, and even spoke in a cool tone because he was in a bad mood.

It's as cold as snow drifting thousands of miles away.

Not only Tangning was frozen, but even Long Rui's face froze.

Tangning sighed deeply.He has long felt that Si Wuxiu, apart from being kind to himself, is quite rude when facing others. If this continues, he will offend everyone sooner or later...

"Listen to the person's request first, and then decide whether you want to help." Tangning took the initiative to speak, and looked at Si Wuxiu softly, "What if it's something important?"

There was always one person who would take the initiative to give in to a quarrel, although Tangning wasn't sure if it was a quarrel or not.

But it couldn't just go on like this, Tangning felt that she had to be more magnanimous.

Who let his "possessing spirit" move just now scare classmate Si so badly?

And only Si Wuxiu knew about this matter. Others, including Yuanzhu's disciples who were still by the lake, thought it was Si Wuxiu's sword that managed to move, and even looked at him with awe.

Tangning's initiative finally softened Si Wuxiu's face, and he finally looked straight at Long Rui, "What's the matter with you?"

Long Rui: "..."

To be honest, Long Rui felt a little choked up.

After all, she is also the third most beautiful woman in the world, a noble daughter of heaven, yet she is ignored one after another.The unfavorable beauty in the past has become so cheap in front of these people from Tianxiang Seminary, it makes me want to cry.

But at this moment, no matter how violent she wanted to be, she still had to say in a good voice: "As you can see, two of my juniors were injured by the demon corpse and needed Ziyun powder to heal them. The price is up to you, I will pay on credit first, and wait I can pay off the debt when I write home, don't worry, I won't run away."

Probably in Long Rui's eyes, Si Wuxiu has been locked up with words like "profiteer" and "cunning", so she emphasizes that she will not evade her debts.

"I don't think the Long family will ruin their reputation for a little money." Si Wuxiu nodded, "I can give you Ziyun San, and the price will be based on the market price. As for the bet, I don't need you to kneel down either. "

Long Rui looked at him warily: "You are so easy to talk? Do you have any conditions?"

Tangning also looked at Si Wuxiu, did you see that, your usual attitude is too bad, what kind of image you have become in the eyes of others!

Even Miss Long has formed a conditioned reflex!

Si Wuxiu didn't care about other people's eyes, but said: "As for the conditions, there is one——I want to know why you people from Yuanzhu appeared in Wulu Town."

Long Rui was stunned for a moment, then replied: "You will know about this in the future, I don't want to talk about it for now."

"Oh?" Si Wuxiu raised his eyebrows, "And in the future, it means that your final destination is Tianxiang Seminary, right?"

Long Rui's expression froze slightly, but unexpectedly she was being tricked by the other party, she bit her lip secretly, and glanced aside.

Tangning said "ah", "So that means we will meet again at Tianxiang Seminary?"

"I'm afraid it's more than that. It's impossible for people from Yuanzhu to appear in Tianxiang just to say hello." Si Wuxiu pondered.

Tang Ning had a premonition that if the top three in the world gathered in Tianxiang Seminary, there would be a bloodbath.

Maybe it will become a Shura field!

"That's right." Seeing that they had already guessed it, Long Rui nodded reservedly, "We were going to Tianxiang Seminary, but we only came here on the way when we received an entrustment from Wang Yuanwai."

"What are you going to Tianxiang Seminary for?" Tangning asked.

"I have nothing to say now, even if you ask me any more, I won't reveal it." Long Rui immediately clenched her mouth and refused to say anything.

Si Wuxiu touched his chin: "You and Wang Yuanwai knew each other before?"

"It's not acquaintance, it's just that he once did business with my family, so it's just a little friendship." Long Rui replied coldly. In fact, she didn't like this king, Yingying Yanyan, who had a whole house at home, and even showed her hospitality. .

It's so annoying!

Si Wuxiu curled her lips together: "Since that's the case, I have something here, and I would like Miss Long to help me."

"What's the matter?" Long Rui asked suspiciously.

Si Wuxiu walked over and whispered something in her ear.

Tangning also wanted to go over and listen, but it seemed that he was too gossip, so she could only watch them communicate silently with their eyes.

What the hell are you talking about, people who are completely excluded are waiting anxiously.

"Okay, I'll help you with this. From then on, our account will be cancelled." Long Rui said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Si Wuxiu nodded.

Just as Long Rui was about to leave, she stepped forward and paused: "By the way, what's your name? I asked my family to send money here, so you have to leave a name so they can find you, right?"

Tang Ning almost fell down, cooperating with this girl didn't remember until now and asked what their name was?

She usually doesn't care about the people around her.

"Aren't you going to Tianxiang Seminary? I'll just ask you for money when the time comes." Si Wuxiu didn't say her name.

"That's right." Long Rui sneered, "If you don't come, these two bottles of Ziyun San will be given to me for nothing."

The two reached an agreement, Long Rui went back to save her junior with Ziyun San, while Si Wuxiu smiled at Tangning who was curious, "I want to know what we whispered just now?"

Tangning nodded honestly.

"Actually, it's nothing. You'll know when the time comes." Si Wuxiu winked at him mysteriously.

"Why are you being so secretive!" Tangning glared, only girls are coy and unwilling to speak completely, so you can learn from that.

Si Wuxiu smiled lightly: "But look over there, maybe there is no need to wait."

Tangning followed his gaze and saw Wang Yuanwai running over happily.

"This demon corpse...is it already dead?" Wang Yuanwai looked at the immobile demon corpse from a distance, but he didn't dare to approach it, "Will you not come out to be a demon again?"

Yuan Zhu's disciples comforted him one after another, affirming that this demon corpse was completely dead.Not only the demon corpses, but even the Gu worms were overrun by the people of Tianxiang Seminary. Now this polluted lake is safe.

Wang Yuanwai was overjoyed and bowed deeply to everyone: "Thank you, heroes!"

"When you see the government, it's not too late to say thank you." Long Rui cast a mysterious look at Wang Yuanwai, and said to the brothers, "The case is closed, let's go!"

Although Yuanzhu's disciples didn't understand why she was about to leave suddenly, they always respected Longrui, so naturally they listened to her in everything.Let go as soon as you say, even the injured brothers dare not delay for a moment.

After a while, more than half of the people around the lake were gone.

Wang Yuanwai still kept his hands clasped in fists, and the people who thanked him were almost gone, and his expression was a little uneasy.I had no choice but to turn to Tangning and Si Wuxiu who hadn't left yet: "Tonight, I will hold a banquet to celebrate the end of the evil problem. Please do me a favor!"

Si Wuxiu said indifferently: "No need, we have to go back and hand in the task."

Wang Yuan expressed regret: "That is really a pity."

"However, there is still time now. I want to find something in Yuanwai's lake." Si Wuxiu said.

Wang Yuanwai felt a little guilty: "This... the lake is so muddy, I don't know what's in it. Even if the hero is a good martial artist, he should be careful."

"You don't want me to go to the lake?" Si Wuxiu sneered, looking at Wang Yuanwai meaningfully.

"No...no, I'm just worried that something might happen, I don't recommend going to the lake..." Wang Yuanwai stammered.

"Did you find out when you bought this house that the previous owner of the house buried treasure here, so he wanted to get rid of the demon corpse, and he didn't hesitate to pay ten thousand gold?" Si Wuxiu stared into Wang Yuanwai's eyes and said .

Cold sweat broke out on Wang Yuanwai's forehead. At first he wanted to deny it, but under Si Wuxiu's invisible pressure, he couldn't help but nodded.

Si Wuxiu smiled lightly: "Let me just say, a person who is so greedy for life and afraid of death, why is he still unwilling to leave this house when he knows that the devil corpse is dangerous."

Wang Yuanwai knelt on the ground with a plop, and begged cheekily: "Since the hero has guessed it, I will not hide it! Yes, when I bought this house, I heard that there is a treasure in the lake, so I guarded the lake." Who knows that this lake is so evil, there will be demon corpses, I dare not approach it at all! This hero master, since you said you want to go to the lake, I will ask the hero one more thing, if you find treasure at the bottom of the lake, Also please help to fish it up... The price is easy to negotiate, you can share half of it..."

Si Wuxiu sneered slightly: "I don't need human face Gu as a reward."

"What... what?" Wang Yuanwai's expression was fixed on his face.

"The so-called treasure is human face Gu." Si Wuxiu shook his head slightly, "The thing that the former owner of this house sank to the bottom of the lake before his death was human face Gu. Wanguan family wealth?"

Wang Yuanwai slumped on the ground, his face instantly ashen.

A high reward was set up to recruit warriors to slay demons, just for the so-called wealth in the lake, but in the end it was nothing but a bamboo basket.

Wang Yuanwai grabbed the ground vigorously, only grass clippings and black soil in his hands.

It was only after listening to Si Wuxiu's words that Tangning understood the ins and outs of the matter, but he really couldn't sympathize with Wang Yuanwai.

……

"Be careful, don't go too deep!" Tangning stood by the lake, pulling the thick rope with Lei Peng.

The other end of the rope was tied around Si Wuxiu's waist. He changed into a black suit and dived into the lake himself.When she heard Tangning's words, she raised her head from the water to look at Tangning and smiled at him.

"Remember, pulling the rope twice is pulling you up, pulling the rope three times is dangerous, don't forget it," Tangning told him.

Si Wuxiu nodded and pinched Tangning's cheek, "Wait for me to come back."

Tangning was about to slap his hand away when he jumped into the water without waiting for her reaction.

Bubbles bubbled up on the surface of the lake, and Si Wuxiu's figure could not be seen clearly at all.

Tangning couldn't see Si Wuxiu from the black water of the lake, and could only judge where he had swam based on the bubbles on the water.But when Si Wuxiu went a little deeper, he couldn't even see the bubbles.

Tangning squeezed the rope nervously, "There won't be any more human face gu in the lake, right?"

Old God Murong Du stood aside on the ground: "There won't be any. According to the handbook, human face Gu is born in pairs, and there will be no single ones."

"That's good..." Tangning breathed a sigh of relief.

"Besides, Si Wuxiu is very strong in martial arts, so you don't need to worry about him so much." Murong Du said to him.

Obviously, as a student of Tianxiang Seminary, Murong Du had also heard about Si's deeds, so how could the master of the battle post list be defeated by a lake?

"That's different. Being strong in martial arts doesn't mean you won't get hurt." Tangning was still a little worried, "There won't be a second demon corpse inside, right?"

"It really won't happen." Murong Du felt helpless.He was concentrating on studying poison in his room, but Tangning forced him out, saying that he was worried that there would be strange poison in the lake and asked him to help out.

Yu He also comforted Tangning, "The young master is a very measured person. If he encounters danger, he will definitely come back to discuss with us first, and he won't force it."

Would a sensible person go into the water as soon as he said it? Tangning sighed deeply. At least he could wait for the lake to become clear before getting into the water!

Time passed by, and there were still no bubbles on the surface of the water, and the rope was being dragged longer and longer, which showed that Si Wuxiu was swimming deeper and deeper, but he still hadn't come up to breathe.

Tangning was worried that he would faint due to lack of oxygen.

But it turned out that Tangning's worry was unnecessary, because in the next second, he felt the rope in his hand being pulled twice!

"He's coming back!" Tangning said excitedly to Lei Peng.

Lei Peng nodded, wrapped the rope around his body twice, and then stepped back step by step like a tug-of-war, pulling the person up.

Tangning, Yu He, and Murong Du also came to help.

At this time, Tangning noticed that there was still a force behind her pulling the rope. Turning her head, it turned out to be Wang Feizhou's kid, "How did you escape? Did those servants bully you?"

The child shook his head and stared at the lake: "Will he see my mother at the bottom of the lake?"

Tangning felt a little creepy, but she still told him seriously, "Maybe I can see it, but I don't know how many people were buried at the bottom of the lake."

While they were talking, Si Wuxiu finally emerged from the lake. Although her hair was all wet and her body was wet, Si Wuxiu had a smile on her lips and her eyes were as bright as light.

"I found it." Si Wuxiu jumped out of the lake while grabbing the rope, and leaped to Tangning's side. She spread her palm, revealing a red clam shell.

Tangning opened the clam shell and saw the round red beads lying in the middle. She couldn't help being overjoyed, "It's really red clam beads!"

Si Wuxiu smiled, turned to face the child again, and handed him the package in the other hand: "If I guess correctly, this should be your mother's skull."

The child didn't seem to be afraid at all, and resolutely stepped forward to take the wet package and held it in his arms.

"This can be used as evidence that Mrs. Wang sacrificed a living person." Si Wuxiu looked down at him, "Maybe you will have to go to court with her in the future, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!" the child shouted loudly.

"Very good." Si Wuxiu rubbed the top of the child's head vigorously.

Confronting his aunt, this child will be gossiped to some extent in the future.But to avenge the mother, even if the reputation is damaged, I believe the child will feel happy in his heart.

That's enough.

The sun is gradually setting, but the child's smile is extremely bright.

Early the next morning, Wang Feizhou took his mother's skull to the government to surrender. Not long after, the government sent people to take Mrs. Wang, Liu Guanshi and Wang Yuanwai away.

The reason for the human face poison to kill warriors is the fight between wives and concubines. Even though Mrs. Wang didn't know about it, the laws of the Great Moon Empire would not spare her.Liu Guanshi, who had committed adultery with her but was found out by his concubine, was also convicted as an accomplice.

As for Wang Yuanwai, he was also warned by the government because of his lax family management.Because the human face Gu was produced by his family members, Wang Yuanwai had to pay for the family members of those warriors who were injured and died.

Warriors have a high status, and they cannot be sent away with a small amount of money, and the king will definitely have to spend again.

As for Wang Feizhou, due to the special situation and the circumstances of surrender, the government believes that the sentence can be reduced as appropriate.Although he is young, he is full of filial piety, which is moving.

During the trial, Tangning and Si Wuxiu watched from the sidelines. When the government announced the verdict against Mrs. Wang, the child finally burst into tears, with a look of relief on his face.

It was only then that Tangning realized: "What you discussed with Miss Long is to let the government punish Mrs. Wang severely?"

In the past two days, Tangning has also quietly made up some "Law of the Great Moon". Knowing that Mrs. Wang is not guilty of death, she would usually be sentenced to several decades in prison.However, the result of the sentence this time was that the rod was punished one hundred times. Immediately after the rod punishment was over, he was sent to a place of bitter cold, and he was not allowed to return to his hometown for life.

If it wasn't for Si Wuxiu's handwriting, Tangning would be the first to believe it.

Si Wuxiu nodded and said: "That's right, I asked her to put pressure on the government in the name of Miss Long's family and Yuanzhu Seminary. Anyway, it's much easier for her than kneeling in public."

"That's fine." Tangning looked at him, "However, I really can't tell that you care so much about Xiao Feizhou." Judging from the way the two interacted, it was clear that Student Si was very impatient with children.

Si Wuxiu said calmly: "I can more or less feel what it feels like to live under the fence."

It was only then that Tangning remembered that Si Wuxiu also had a bad childhood, maybe the Si family had abused him too.

No wonder he was willing to help Wang Feizhou. Although the phrase "feeling the same way" is easy to say, Si Wuxiu must have had a hard time back then.

Classmate Si is actually a very good person!

Just as they were about to leave, the child ran out from the government office, his eyes brightened: "Thank you very much, we will meet later!"

"There will be a time later." Tangning smiled at him.

The child blushed and mustered up the courage to say to Tangning, "When I grow up, I want to marry you!"

Tangning's smile gradually disappeared, "..."

"Because you are good-looking!" the child said shyly, "I accidentally saw you taking a shower on the roof, brother, why do you have to change your face? You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen!"

Si Wuxiu drew his sword slowly: "I don't think I need to wait for the government to pronounce a sentence on you, I'll cut you up first..."

"Hey, this is the gate of the yamen, you can't do anything!" Tangning hurriedly stopped him.

The child made a face at Si Wuxiu, then ran back to the government office and left with the two servants.

"Sure enough, I guessed correctly, this kid does have plans for you." Si Wuxiu's face was sinking like water, and his air was frightening.

Tangning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even if what Si said was right, Xiao Feizhou was only so young. Are all children so precocious nowadays...

"Okay, no matter what, this matter is finally over, and the Red Clam Pearl was found." Tangning smiled at Si Wuxiu, "Your sword embryo can continue to improve!"

"Yeah." Si Wuxiu also looked at him tenderly, "It's all thanks to Aning."

"Actually, I just discovered the small attic by accident. You can infer the rest..." Tangning scratched her head, "You are the better one."

"Could it be that we want to continue to be humble to each other like this?" Si Wuxiu said jokingly.

Tangning blinked, feeling a little puzzled.

"I invite you to eat Wulu noodles, do you want to go?" Si Wuxiu asked.

"Okay!" Tangning nodded. Although the appearance of the noodles was not very good, the taste was really good and left one with endless aftertaste.

It's rare to come here, always have to eat enough before leaving!

Snacks are so easy to coax, Si Wuxiu smiled and shook his head, walking side by side with Tangning on the street.The people were talking about the big case in the town, but no matter how lively the street was, Si Wuxiu seemed to only see this person in front of him.

……

Because of the Wang family's accident, all the wealth of Wang's family was lost, and the Wang family's mansion was also sealed up by the government. Tang Ning and his party stayed in the inn the night before they left Wulu Town.

There were enough rooms in the inn, Tangning got into her room as soon as she went upstairs, and the speed was extremely fast - so as not to be taken advantage of again.

Si Wuxiu shook his head and chuckled.

He wanted to tease Tangning again, but when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yuhe's servant coming back from outside, looking hesitant to speak, so Si Wuxiu suppressed her smile and signaled her to enter the room with her eyes.

As soon as Yuhe entered the door, she said: "Before the Wang family's mansion was sealed off, I asked the servants in the mansion, and they all said that there were no cats and dogs in the mansion." She carefully observed the expression of Xia Si Wuxiu, and then continued, "Say yes Mrs. Wang doesn't like small animals, and she is afraid that the claws of those small things will scratch the precious silk, so she ordered her servants not to keep them."

"No cat?" Si Wuxiu frowned slightly.

"Yes, my subordinates have searched the house, including the small attic that the young master mentioned, but there is no cat." Yu He was a little confused.

"Forget it, it's fine if you can't find it, maybe it's just a wild cat." Si Wuxiu shook his head.

Originally, seeing Tang Ning liked it, he wanted to bring the black cat back to raise him, but he didn't expect such a result.

"What about Wang Feizhou?" Si Wuxiu asked again.

Yu He looked serious, and said in a low voice: "The young master of the Wang family said that he learned his qinggong from someone else, and that person only taught him for three days, and that person also told Wang Feizhou about the attic."

Si Wuxiu's eyes were sharp: "Is that true?"

"Yes, my subordinates asked him what that person looked like, but Wang Feizhou couldn't tell clearly, the other party deliberately covered his face with a mask, but it is said that he was wearing a Confucian robe, like a scholar, very young." Yu He said.

"I said, why is that kid running so fast?" Si Wuxiu closed his eyes and rubbed the center of his brows, "I'm afraid that person is a fake scholar, a real master, and he is very clear about the affairs of the Wang family, so he may have guessed that we will Come here."

He didn't know if the child was brought to Tangning, or if it was just a coincidence.

It would be better if it was a coincidence, but if it was intentional... Did the other party come after Tangning, or me?

Yuhe glanced at Si Wuxiu, looking like she wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, and finally she couldn't help asking: "Young master, is that human face Gu... a thing in the palace?"

"Have you seen it?" Si Wuxiu was not surprised by this. Although he erased the origin of the human-faced Gu from the handbook, Yuhe is proficient in medical science and has dabbled in Gus. She will notice the special nature of the human-faced Gu. The place is also a matter of time.

Si Wuxiu had no intention of keeping it a secret from them.

Yu He regretted: "I haven't seen it before, but I heard it was mentioned by the seniors in the palace. And according to the name in the palace, it's not called a human face gu, so I didn't react for a while."

"What's the name in the palace?" Si Wuxiu asked.

"Everyone in the palace calls it Zombie Gu." Yu He had an indescribable expression on his face. To be honest, neither of these two names sound good.

"Aside from that, are there any other discoveries?"

"No more." Yu He looked at Si Wuxiu, "Young Master, is there any connection between that scholar and the previous owner of the house?"

Si Wuxiu said: "Maybe there is, or maybe there is not. Although the demon corpse looks tall, but if you look closely, you can find that he was already an old man when he died. If the scholar is really as young as Wang Feizhou said , then how did these two get in touch with each other?"

This question was too difficult for Yuhe, so she had to keep her mouth shut.

Si Wuxiu let out a long sigh, no matter what connection they have, it is inseparable from the word "Gong Zhong".

His life experience was destined to make some people restless, but he didn't expect the signs before the storm to come sooner than he expected.

"Forget it, what should come will always come." Si Wuxiu stood up, "I'm going to see Aning."

When you are in a bad mood, looking at the beauties can always get better, even Si Wuxiu is no exception.

This time Si Wuxiu did not tear down the door violently, because Tangning's room door was not locked at all!

He pushed open the door and saw Tangning standing by the table, giving a serious education to his scorpion.

"You can't just jump on a female scorpion whenever you see it!" Tangning poked Xiao Hei's head with her index finger.

Xiao Hei's two pincers were twisted together, and the glowing green tail needle swayed slightly, as if he was flattering Tang Ning, or expressing his grievance.

"You can't pretend to be pitiful." Tangning glared at it and said earnestly, "You know that Scorpion only has two sperm sticks in a lifetime, that is, he can only do it twice in a lifetime!" He stretched out two fingers and pointed them in front of Xiao Hei, "Only twice! Do one less time, you must not be so hasty!"

Xiao Hei seemed to understand, and climbed a few steps on the table, still looking a little ready to move.

Tangning crossed her arms and said, "Okay, then you can go, you will become a eunuch from now on."

Xiao Hei crawled a few more steps, stopped cowardly, and lay still on his stomach.

Si Wuxiu stood at the door and listened to the interaction between Tangning and the little scorpion. He pressed his fist to his lips and tried his best to hold back a smile.

"Hey, why are you here?" Tangning noticed Si Wuxiu now, and looked at him in wonder, "I saw Yuhe going upstairs just now, and thought you guys had a lot to say."

"It's over." Si Wuxiu said, pointing at Xiao Hei and asking, "What's going on?"

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you!" Tangning slapped her forehead, "There are scorpions in this inn, one appeared in my room just now, and Xiao Hei was almost taken away."

"Scorpion?"

"That's right, and it looks like there's more than one, otherwise Xiao Hei wouldn't be so excited." Tangning poked her own scorpion again as she spoke. This little thing is really annoying. "What kind of broken inn did you choose, why are there such dangerous things haunting it?"

Si Wuxiu frowned upon hearing this: "Is there poison in this inn?"

"Obviously." Tangning spread her hands and said.

Fortunately, Tangning has gradually gotten used to dealing with those dangerous species, otherwise he would not be able to stay for a moment.

"Could it be that Murong alone brought you here?" Si Wuxiu was narrow-minded, and was still worried about Murong.

Tangning shook her head and said, "I went to ask just now, it wasn't him. And there are also in Murong Du's room."

It seems that Murong Du is not against the fact that there are scorpions in the room, but rather welcomes them, which can be used as material for practice.

"What about the other rooms in the inn?" Si Wuxiu opened the door and glanced out.

"I don't know much about the other rooms." Tangning looked down the stairs. The inn lobby was empty. "Everyone in the town ran to watch the excitement of the Wang family. I heard Xiaoer say that people who come to the inn on weekdays Not many, unless it is a passing merchant."

Si Wuxiu was thoughtful: "So, apart from us, there are only those businessmen in the inn now, and most of the scorpions belong to them."

The inn has never been infested with insects before, and it is impossible for so many scorpions to appear for no reason.

Si Wuxiu's judgment was still very accurate, because they hadn't been observing upstairs for a long time, a person suddenly ran out of a room on the second floor, and shouted in panic, "I... all my goods ran out! Help! Ah, who will save people!"

Tangning and Si Wuxiu exchanged glances and rushed downstairs at the same time.

In front of the guest room on the second floor, a middle-aged man in a robe printed with copper coins ran forward as if seeing a savior, but because he was so panicked that he was speechless, Tangning couldn't understand what he said after listening to a few sentences.

Had to go into the room to check.

Si Wuxiu followed closely behind, and the businessman followed into the house.

Tangning walked to the bed and found a torn bag on the floor, with several scorpions inside the bag trying to crawl out.At first glance, there are dozens of scorpions on the ground of the guest room, and some have even climbed out of the window.

And Tang Ning's room was right above these merchants, so the scorpions must have crawled in through the window!

Lying on the ground was a blue-faced man who looked younger than the copper coin robe. His eyes were closed and his lips were black and purple. It looked like he had been poisoned.

"He was poisoned by the scorpion." Tangning squatted down, grabbed the man's wrist and felt for his pulse.

Si Wuxiu asked: "Is there any help?"

"If it's too late, it's really hopeless." Tangning couldn't help but sweat for this man.

The venom of these scorpions is not very powerful, far less terrible than the golden-scaled snake venom that Murong Du suffered that day, but there are too many of them, and this is just an ordinary person, so it is still a bit dangerous.

Tangning carried the antidote with her, so she didn't hesitate to open a bottle and drink it for the man without hesitation.

Tongqin Paozi asked anxiously, "When will my nephew wake up?"

"At least one night, at most two or three days." Tangning judged based on the other party's situation.

"Alas!" Tongqian Robe stomped his feet, "It's my fault, I didn't tighten the bag tightly, and when I came back, I found that they had escaped! Thank you for saving me, my nephew and I really don't know how to thank you... "

Si Wuxiu gave him a cold look: "There's no need to thank you, you just need to tell me, how did these scorpions get here?"

Copper Coin Robe said honestly: "They are all purchased. The local people are in charge of arresting them. We, uncle and nephew, bought them from them and resold them."

Tangning asked strangely, "These scorpions don't seem to be from the nearby mountains. Where did you bring them here?"

Because of her professionalism, Tangning also pays attention to the poisons that can be exchanged in Tianji Pavilion, knowing that the scorpions near Tianxiang Seminary are all mountain scorpions, and their color is black.

But the "goods" of this pair of merchants are a light-colored variety, a bit like a sand scorpion.

Hearing Tangning's question, Copper Money Robe didn't hide anything, and immediately said, "These are indeed mountain scorpions, but they are special mountain scorpions. Not long ago, the Haoshan Earthquake, many aristocratic families and sects went to check, and heard that something happened We ordinary people can’t understand the secret realm. It’s just that after the earthquake, all kinds of beasts appeared in the deep mountains, and the locals caught a lot of new things. We, uncle and nephew, thought we could make a fortune.”

As a result, the first time I did this kind of business, I almost lost my life.

Tangning looked at Uncle Copper Coin speechlessly, what's wrong with you reselling, why did you choose Scorpion, being stung is not fun.

"Haoshan Earthquake?" Si Wuxiu was thoughtful when he heard the word "Secret Realm", "I remember Yuanzhu is in Haonan City."

"Haokong, Haoyang, and Haonan City are all important towns at the foot of Haoshan Mountain." Tangning still knows these geographical knowledge.Especially the original book also mentioned this passage, the Haoshan earthquake led to an ancient secret realm.

Si Wuxiu rubbed his chin: "It seems that the purpose of Yuanzhu Seminary's trip is probably related to this secret realm."

"Could it be that they came to Tianxiang Seminary to find helpers?" Tangning thought for a while, this was different from the plot he knew.

In the original book, Si Wuxiu went to Haokong City for other things, and only then did he know of this secret realm, and there was no scene where Yuanzhu's disciples came to Tianxiang Seminary.

But although the details are different, the plot that should come will still come.

Tangning glanced at Si Wuxiu worriedly, because he remembered that classmate Si seemed to have been seriously injured in this dungeon!

However, Si Wuxiu misunderstood Tangning's gaze, and slightly curled his lips at him, "What is Ah Ning doing looking at me like that, I'm not interested in secret realms."

"Then what are you interested in?" Tangning looked at him curiously.

Si Wuxiu met his eyes: "You."

The author has something to say: Tang: This classmate, do you think the way Uncle Copper Coin looks at us is a bit strange?

456: Regardless of him, let's continue.
