Chapter 1049: A Ghost Drama (Part I)
After dinner in the evening, in the area of Xishuifang, the county town of Chengyang County, Goguryeo, in the west corner of the wall of the mansion of the Navy General Cui Shengjun, Jiang Yixian lightly jumped upward, raised his elbow and hung it on the head of the high wall, only half of his head was exposed, and a pair of eyes quickly glanced at the wall.
The courtyard of the Cui family is not big, in addition to two servants, there is only a cook, the yard is quite quiet, there are several lush fruit trees planted in the yard, through the screen nailed on the window lattice of the room, you can vaguely see the inside of the house, as if a figure is shaking.
Jiang Yixian joined the Martial Arts Guild three years ago, and Jiang Yixian is not his real name, but his nickname in the rivers and lakes in Guanzhong, because he usually travels the rivers and lakes as a famous gentleman.
At the beginning of the year, a group of various talents belonging to the Wulin Guild were screened out from all over the Great Sui and mobilized to Fanyang County. Part of it went to Snake Island, and part of it stayed in the county seat of Fanyang County.
Jiang Yixian is one of them, and is divided into the second elder insect demon's apprentice Shen Guo'er, half a year ago he was ordered to learn the Goguryeo vernacular, as early as after Wang Junlin established a foothold in Dami Island and Bailing Island, he and a group of other masters who learned the Goguryeo language, followed Shen Guo'er to Goguryeo.
A group of people lurked in Goguryeo for more than half a month, and experienced the test of Yuan Taizuo to capture the Great Sui spies in the entire Goguryeo.
Today, Shen Guo'er suddenly took him to this Chengyang County City, and finally started the first mission.
According to the regulations of the Martial Arts Guild, his mission belongs to the gold level, and after the successful completion of the mission, it can be exchanged for 1,000 points, with this 1,000 points, he has made up enough 2,000 points, which can be exchanged for 10,000 taels of silver, or hundreds of acres of fertile land in the salt farm, and he can also give his son a chance to be an errand boy in the Blue Clothes Guard Mansion or Fanyang County.
Therefore, Jiang Yixian attaches great importance to this task and cherishes it very much, strength like him is really rare and ordinary in the martial arts guild, if it weren't for the special task of this time, it would not be his turn to have a chance to go out on a mission.
Jiang Yixian thought wildly in his mind, and after climbing on the wall to find out the topography and layout of Cui Shengjun's house, he gently floated down from the courtyard wall.
Hiding behind a tree, and seeing that there was no one, he took advantage of the shadows and went around most of the circle to the back of the main house where the lights were on.
After looking around, Jiang Yixian jumped onto the roof as agile as a tanuki without making a sound.
Gently moving on the roof, Jiang Yixian carefully kept his feet from making a sound, and then slowly walked to the vicinity of the ridge, hid his body behind the ridge, poked his head down from the eaves, and looked at the situation in the room below.
I saw that the house with the light on below was a spacious bedroom, and in this room at this time, a voice was being heard, and it seemed that a man in his early thirties and an old woman were talking.
There was no one in the next room, only a pot of water boiling on the stove, and wisps of steam had already come out, and it was estimated that after the water boiled for a while, they would have to soak their feet and sleep.
After finding the target tonight, Jiang Yixian lay on the roof, took out a box as long as a cigarette in the future from his arms, and gently opened it, there were four small boxes inside, and he carefully opened the small box on the far left.
Inside was a black scorpion more than an inch long, with teeth and claws, crawling in the box, and the sharp tail hook behind the tail had been erected, ready to sting people at any time.
This box was given to him by Shen Guo'er, and the scorpions in it were naturally prepared by Shen Guo'er.
Jiang Yixian only knew that it was a poisonous scorpion, and he hadn't looked at it before, but when he took a closer look, he found that this scorpion was pitch black all over his body, and behind his eyes above his head, there was a red line as thin as blood, which was horizontal above the scorpion's head, as if someone had drawn a piece on it with a red pen, and at a glance he knew that it was not an ordinary poisonous scorpion.
"The second elder is full of poisonous insects, and although his apprentice Shen Guo'er is beautiful and cute, he is also a little poisonous girl!" Jiang Yixian took out the small box, covered the big box, stuffed it back into his arms and put it away, and then looked down from the eaves.
After a while, after making sure that there was no problem, Jiang Yixian hooked the roof tile on the house with his foot, and leaned his upper body out of the eaves, hanging upside down on the eaves like a bat.
After observing for a moment, and seeing that the people in the room did not notice him, he stretched out his finger and pinched one of the nails that had been nailed to the window and pulled it out, so that a thin slit opened between the curtain and the curtain.
Then I saw him quickly open the box, bite the lid in his mouth, and pinched the scorpion's tail hook with two fingers like lightning!
Then, with a flick of his wrist, the scorpion flew silently through the thin slit in the window screen.
I saw that the scorpion flew straight into the room, and it was still in the shoes that were put aside.
Through the gap, he saw an old woman lying on the bed, Cui Shengjun was waiting to feed the medicine, and the scorpion that the scorpion entered was the old woman's shoes.
After a while, the old woman ran out of medicine, and with the help of Cui Shengjun, got up and put on her shoes, and prepared to go out.
But the next moment, the old woman suddenly let out a miserable scream and took her foot out violently, and then Cui Shengjun saw a black scorpion crawl out of the shoe and quickly got under the bed next to her.
Cui Shengjun couldn't take care of the scorpion for the time being, and when he looked at the old lady's feet, they were black and swollen, and the old lady had fainted.
"Mother, are you okay?" Cui Shengjun's face changed greatly, he was anxious, and hurriedly called the servant to find the doctor.
Soon the doctor came and tried to prescribe an antidote, but it didn't work at all, and after looking at it again, there was no way to treat it.
Cui Shengjun asked the servants to ask for a doctor, and he couldn't cure the poison by inviting five or six of the best doctors in the city in one go.
And taking advantage of this effort, Jiang Yixian still brought four scorpions to the inside and outside of the room below, one of which was three times the size of the others, and it looked extremely terrifying, but these scorpions did not immediately crawl out and sting.
Then Jiang Yixian secretly left Cui's Mansion, found a place outside the courtyard to change his clothes, took the props prepared in advance, and turned into a person wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe, wearing a nine-beam Taoist crown on his head, and carrying a small package behind him.
