I smiled and nodded to Zhang Chu, saying, "Don't worry, Master, it's okay."
Afterwards, at Zhang Chu's request, I took out the pills that could expel the Chi Gu from my body and stuffed them into the waiter's mouth.
At the same time, I also released the suppression talismans and acupuncture points on the waiter's body one by one.
The waiter, whose acupoints were unblocked, slowly woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he began to cry out in pain, "Ouch! It hurts so much! ... ... Someone come and save me!"
Zhang Chu stood by and curled his lips, shouting, "Boy, stop shouting. We have already helped you get rid of the poison in your body. Once you spit out the poison, you will be fine."
Then we got the waiter, who was soaking wet, out of the big bucket.
As soon as he got out of the bucket, the waiter put one hand on the edge of the bucket and began to vomit into the bucket. Just like Lou Xiaoman's previous situation, the things the waiter vomited were also black and sticky. In addition to the poison, food residues and some insect eggs... ...
After about an hour of struggling, the waiter's condition finally stabilized.
The female boss Li Shuang stayed to take care of the waiter, and the rest of us returned to our rooms to rest.
Yuquan and I went back to the room together.
Before returning to my room, I went to Lou Xiaoman's room 207. Lou Xiaoman was able to get out of bed by herself at this time. She was in good condition except that she was a little weak.
Lying on the single bed in the room, I fell asleep slowly.
I slept until about twelve o'clock in the morning.
I was woken up by someone knocking on the door.
Yuquan was still sleeping, so I climbed out of bed.
When I opened the door, I saw that it was my master Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu looked around the corridor and seeing that no one noticed him, he walked into my room.
"What's wrong, Master? Why are you so mysterious? Did something happen?"
I asked curiously.
Zhang Chu hurriedly urged me, "Tianyi, don't ask any more questions. Pack your things now and leave Longtan Town."
I was stunned and asked hurriedly, "Master, why? I came here to look for my friend, but I haven't found him yet. How can I leave alone?"
Zhang Chu sighed and said, "Alas! It's my fault, Master. Tianyi, you can't stay here. Wang Jiuyang is not a good person. I have a grudge against him. I'm afraid he will cheat and kill us both."
"You know Master's current situation. I have no more good karma. I only know a little bit about raising and controlling corpses. I am no match for Wang Jiuyang at all."
"Although you have a lot of Yin De, which is much stronger than when I first passed it on to you, you are still no match for Wang Jiuyang. Tianyi, believe what Master says and leave here quickly. Let Master deal with Wang Jiuyang alone to buy you some time."
It turns out that my master Zhang Chu was talking about this matter. I was wondering why he was so superstitious.
I stood aside without moving, and said with a smile: "Master, I think you are worrying too much. Wang Jiuyang will not hurt me now. He must have another purpose in following me. What I know now is that he wants me to go with him to find the fragments of the divine map. But I already have the fragments of the divine map on me, and he didn't snatch them. This is what I find strange."
"So, Wang Jiuyang must have another purpose in following me. His purpose is not to kill me, but to gain something from me."
After hearing what I said, Zhang Chu felt incredible
.
Then he asked me, "Tianyi, what are the fragments of the divine picture you are talking about?"
It seems that Zhang Chu doesn't know about the fragments of the divine map. Since I have already recognized him as my master, there is no need for me to hide it.
Then I told Zhang Chu everything about the fragments of the "Divine Map of Mountains, Rivers, States and Countries".
After hearing what I said, Zhang Chu looked solemn and unnatural.
Finally, he asked in surprise: "Disciple, are you kidding me, Master?"
I smiled and said, "Master, you are the master and I am the disciple. How could I joke with you? That would be disrespectful. I am serious. I really got the scroll left by Emperor Huang Ji Xuanyuan, the fragment of the 'Shanhe Sheji Shentu'."
"And I can also summon the creatures in the divine map."
Then I took out the fragments of the Divine Map of Mountains, Rivers, States and Sovereigns and showed them to Zhang Chu.
When seeing the fragments of the sacred map, Zhang Chu's face was filled with excitement or surprise, and even his hands were shaking.
He said in a trembling voice: "Tianyi, this, this, this... This thing is no longer just a magic weapon. It can be called a divine weapon. If you can collect all the fragments of the divine map, I'm afraid even more magical things will happen."
I think so too.
"How about this, Master? I will activate the fragments of the divine map and show them to you!"
But Zhang Chu waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, that's not necessary. I still believe in your words. If that's the case, you have two fragments of the divine map, so you have some means to deal with Wang Jiuyang. And just like you said, Wang Jiuyang also has ulterior motives towards you and wants to use you to do something. So he won't hurt you now."
"Yes, Master, it is just as you said."
Zhang Chu nodded this time and said, "If that's the case, then I'm relieved for the time being."
I smiled and said, "Master, don't worry. Besides the divine map, I have other means. If Wang Jiuyang really wants to kill me, I will fight him to the death. I don't think he dares to do anything to me!"
Zhang Chu stared at me in surprise and said, "People always say that a man should be looked at with new eyes after a day of absence. Tianyi, you have changed so much in these days. I didn't expect that you not only got the fragments of the divine map, but also went to the underworld. If outsiders knew about this, they would be shocked to death."
I smiled and said, "Master, look at what you said, these are just trivial matters."
After that, Zhang Chu and I chatted a lot more, and then Zhang Chu left my room.
Yuquan and I got up around one o'clock in the afternoon.
After getting up and going out, I found that others were already waiting for us on the first floor.
Even the frail Lou Xiaoman appeared on the first floor.
Wang Jiuyang was standing in front of the counter holding his small compass.
Seeing me coming downstairs, Fatty Li curled his lips and said, "Brother Yang, you finally slept well. We have been waiting for you for more than half an hour."
I smiled apologetically and said, "I'm so sorry. I overslept. Since everyone is here, let's get ready and set off. After all, finding Sister Xilan is the purpose of our coming here this time."
Several people had no objection.
After a quick packing, we were off a few minutes later.
Before we set off, boss Li Shuang asked us whether we would return to Longtan Inn to stay that night, but we were not sure.
To find Zhao Xilan, you have to follow the guidance of the small compass.
The location of Longtan Town is relatively remote, with mountains on the east and west sides and the Soul Burial Valley on the north.
The needle on Wang Jiuyang's small compass points to
As we walked towards the southeast.
There are a lot of mountains in the southeast, most of which are not very high and we can't name them. But because it is daytime and there is plenty of sunlight, the scenery between the mountains and forests can be seen clearly.
After walking for more than 20 kilometers on the mountain road, the needle of the small compass finally pointed to a mountain forest. In other words, Zhao Xilan should be on this mountain.
However, this mountain is covered with tangled trees and dense vegetation, making it difficult to tell the direction and not easy to climb up.
Fortunately, when we were preparing to go up the mountain, we met a hunter.
He was a hunter in his fifties, half of his hair was gray, and his face was tanned by the sun. His Mandarin was not standard, but it was still understandable.
I asked around and found out that this mountain is called "Snake Mountain".
Snake Mountain, to put it simply, means there are many snakes on this mountain. And according to the hunter, most of those snakes are poisonous.
I asked the hunter if he knew who lived on this mountain. But the hunter's answer made me frown. He said that there was no one living on this mountain. He had been hunting here for more than 30 years and rarely encountered people. Even if he encountered people, they were people from Longtan Town who came here to collect herbs or other mountain products.
No one? But the needle of the small compass in Wang Jiuyang's hand clearly pointed to this mountain.
I took out my compass and looked at it.
The needle of the big compass also pointed to this mountain.
In other words, there is a high probability that Zhao Xilan is on this mountain.
Lou Xiaoman said anxiously: "No matter what, since my apprentice Xilan is on this mountain, I must find her. I can't just watch Xilan get into trouble, I must find her."
After saying that, Lou Xiaoman walked towards the mountain.
I quickly grabbed Lou Xiaoman and explained, "Master Lou, don't worry. We all know that you are worried about your disciple Zhao Xilan, but you can't be rash when looking for someone. Besides, we are all here to help, so naturally we hope to find Zhao Xilan as soon as possible."
"But you also heard that there are a lot of snakes on this Snake Mountain, and they are all poisonous. So even if we want to go up the mountain, we must be careful. Otherwise, accidents are likely to happen."
The hunter on the side said, "Yes, yes, this little brother is right. Although this Snake Mountain is not big, it is full of dangers. You must not rush into the mountain, otherwise you will easily lose your life."
"I remember a few years ago, a few young men came here to play, climbed up Snake Mountain, and died inside. Their bodies have not been found to this day."
"So you must not be reckless!"
I looked at the hunter, and after thinking for a while, I asked, "Uncle, how about this? You are an old hunter in this forest, and you know a little bit about everything. Otherwise, you can take us into the mountains. We will pay you to go into the mountains. How about it?"
But the old hunter shook his head and said, "No, no, no, although I have experience, I have never been into Snake Mountain, so I can't guarantee that I can lead you in safely and get you out safely. I can't guarantee these."
However, under the onslaught of our money, the old hunter finally compromised.
For three thousand yuan, the old hunter agreed to take us into Snake Mountain to find people.
I just don’t know whether Zhao Xilan is on this Snake Mountain
If so, was she really kidnapped
If it wasn't there, it would be a bit scary. You know, the needles of our compasses all point to this Snake Mountain.
Could it be that, like in the Longtan Inn, someone is deliberately creating confusion to divert our attention? This is also possible. Anyway, we still have to enter Snake Mountain.
