Chapter 239: Fairy in the Lake, Still Concealed?
In the blink of an eye, dawn came. Although the four of them didn't sleep much at night, they were all in good spirits. After a brief wash, the four of them went downstairs together.
Tashi and his wife, Baima, were having breakfast at the moment, and when they saw Tong Yan and them coming downstairs, they were stunned at first, and then greeted each other with smiles on their faces.
"Hey...... Friends, did you sleep well at night? ”
Hearing this, Blind Chen chuckled and said, "Okay, I've never slept so comfortably." ”
Hearing this, Tashi smiled and nodded, "It's good to be comfortable, it's good to be comfortable." Would you like to have breakfast together? Two drinks by the way? ”
Tong Yan shook his head with a smile and said: "You should keep the wine for yourself, we don't know how to drink, and those who sleep too much will be unconscious, and if you accidentally die at that time, you will regret it." Brother Tashi, thank you very much for your hospitality yesterday, so I have prepared a gift for you. See if you like it or not! With that, he took out a cloth bag from his pocket and handed it directly to Tashi.
Seeing this, Tashi smiled awkwardly, but reached out to take it.
"Then I'll thank you!"
Tong Yan smiled slightly: "Won't you open it and take a look?" I've got this for you. ”
Hearing this, Tashi let out a soft sigh before opening the cloth bag. When he saw a small piece of green wood in the bag, his face couldn't help but change, but he returned to normal.
"Brother Tashi, do you like it? If you like it, I have a whole tree in my room, so I can give it all to you. How is it? ”
Tashi smiled a little unnaturally: "This is fine, let you bother more." ”
Tong Yan pulled over a chair, sat down unceremoniously, and then said with interest: "Brother Tashi, I actually admire people like you." No matter what you do, you can keep your face from changing your face. But I don't understand, we're here to do your business and stay in your hotel. Why are you doing this to us? For money or for life? ”
When Tashi heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, but he still said stiffly: "Friend, why can't I understand your words?" Am I not good to you? ”
When Tong Yan heard this, he laughed and said, "Okay, of course it's good!" They almost sent us to Elysium, and I'm afraid we won't be blessed. Brother Tashi, Ming people don't say dark words. You know very well what this wood is. You know in your heart what special condiments were put in the wine you drank and the food you ate last night. To tell you the truth, we are all jealous and hateful people. You respect me a foot, I respect you a foot. If thou shalt harm me, I will pay it back tenfold. Brother Chen, bother to close the door. There are some words that it is better not to pass them on! ”
When the blind man heard this, he immediately responded: "Okay! I'm going to close the door! With that, he raised his leg and walked straight to the door. only heard a "bang", and the open door was directly closed tightly by him.
Tashi was still calm, but his wife, Baima, looked frightened and grabbed Tashi's hand, trembling slightly.
"Brother Tashi, you are a smart man. The fact that you can set us up so quietly is enough to show that you are thoughtful and do not panic. I appreciate people like you because we're so much alike. But unlike you, I would never endanger my family for my own sake. I can't even watch my family die in front of me and remain indifferent. I think you should be able to, right? Tan Yu, send Sister Baima on the road, may she ascend to Bliss as soon as possible! ”
Hearing this, Tan Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he was about to step forward.
When Tashi saw it, his face changed dramatically. "No...... No! Don't hurt her, don't hurt her. What happened last night had nothing to do with her, and all the mistakes I made were my faults. If you want to kill or chop, come at me! ”
Hearing Tashi's own admission, Tong Yan immediately waved his hand to stop Tan Yu.
"Brother Tashi, it's really not difficult to kill you, but we are not cruel people. I'll ask you a few questions, and as long as you tell the truth, I will not only spare you and your wife, but I will not report your attempted murder to the police. What do you think? Interested? ”
Tashi gritted his teeth and immediately nodded: "You ask, as long as you can say it, I will tell you!" ”
Tong Yan smiled slightly, and then asked, "What is the rotten wood that harmed us last night?" ”
"That's ...... That's the sacred tree in Mannie Lake! ”
"Mannie Lake? Where is it? ”
"In a hidden valley at the foot of the Kawagebo Peak!"
Tong Yan frowned and continued to ask, "What else is there in Mannie Lake besides this rotten wood?" ”
Tashi hesitated for a moment, then hesitantly said, "There is still ...... And fish, shrimp, aquatic weeds ......"
Hearing this, Tong Yan sneered and said: "Brother Tashi, you know what I asked, don't give me sloppy eyes, don't explain honestly, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”
Tashi frowned, as if he had made up his mind, and finally replied, "There is a snake demon in Mannie Lake, who calls himself the fairy of the lake, and makes people worship her and help her do some harmful things. If anyone doesn't listen, Shenmu Po will come to the door at night and come to ask for the soul. Shenmu Po came last night, but I didn't expect you to survive. ”
Hearing this, Tong Yan already roughly understood everything. It was the snake demon who wanted people's souls, and Tashi was an accomplice, and he didn't know what kind of medicine he put in the barley wine that everyone drank last night, which made Tong Yan and the four of them fall into a deep sleep completely. At this time, the snake demon's minions, that is, the Shenmu Po in Tashi's mouth, came to ask for the soul. If he hadn't been lucky enough to escape, I'm afraid he would have been taken to the so-called Mannie Lake by the god wood woman at this moment.
Chen Blind held his chin and thought for a while, and then said, "So in other words, it is the snake demon in that lake who is trying to kill us?" But what is the use of it for the souls of men? ”
Hearing this, Tan Yu pursed his lips and said, "Isn't this simple?" People are humane, and demons have demons. Since it requires people's souls, it is naturally to speed up cultivation. There are many evil demons who don't want to cultivate with peace of mind, so they will use some special methods to speed up the improvement of their cultivation. For example, sucking people's essence and blood, such as sucking people's yang energy, or sucking people's souls! I'm afraid that this snake demon knows how to suck souls, so he will harm people everywhere. ”
When Jiang Xiaoyu heard this, he snorted coldly and said: "It's like you're a good demon, didn't you also do things to suck people's blood in your early years?" It's just a raccoon dog! ”
When Tan Yu heard this, he was immediately furious. "Cheap woman, if you dare to provoke me again, I will tear your mouth."
Tong Yan saw it and hurriedly stopped: "Okay, don't make any more trouble!" That evil demon is making waves here, and he is trying to harm our lives, whether it is for the sake of heaven or for the benefit of one party, this evil demon must be eliminated! I want to see what this snake demon who claims to be the fairy of the lake is! But Brother Tashi, is there anything else you haven't said? ”
Tong Yan's last sentence obviously means something else, is this Tashi still hiding something?
