Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty - Vol 2 Chapter 2144
In midsummer, days are long and nights are short.
Although it was three o’clock in the morning, although the sun had already set, the sky had not completely dimmed, and there were still pedestrians and hawkers on the street.
The lecture conference has long since ended. The people who came to listen to the lectures from other workshops left Jian’an workshop after receiving Huanshengxiang. The bustling small market was deserted in an instant, as if they had returned to the previous two days. of that state.
But outside Jian’an Square, with the news about the technique of resurrecting dead fish and the magical effect of revitalizing incense, the after-heat of the lecture conference still continued, and even had an intensifying trend. Countless gentry and gentry in Taiyuan City sent out The servants looked for the people who received Huanshengxiang, and paid a lot of money to buy Huanshengxiang. For a time, Taiyuan is fragrant!
And because of the power of the gentry and the gentry, or because of the price offered by the other party, the vast majority of ordinary people who received Huanshengxiang sold the Huanshengxiang, which was regarded as a windfall.
This made those people who didn’t go to Jian’an Square to participate in the dharma can’t help but feel regretful, it felt like “missing 100 million”!
Besides, in Jian’an Square, Tongfu Inn, and all guest rooms on the second floor have fallen into silence. Li Tai, Scorpio, and An Shunshan all lie down. Scorpio is even asleep at this moment, but he is a master at the peak of Qi transformation after all. Although he had fallen asleep, as long as there was a little disturbance around him, he could still wake up instantly.
In the Tianzihao guest room, cigarettes are lingering. Li Tai is lying on the bed with his eyes closed, but he is not asleep, just dozing off. The little fat man knows that the government will definitely take action tonight. Nervous and excited, don’t look at how he was flattered and calm in front of the Turkic spies, but he was still a child after all, and he had a juvenile temperament. Heartbroken?
At the moment, Mu Jiao was sitting at the door from the inner room to the outer room. This position could not only see Li Tai, but also the situation outside the guest room. He had previously opened the door of the Tianzi guest room, so he sat in He can see outside the room from here. Once there is trouble outside the room, he can also notice it immediately. Mu Jiao was very satisfied with the position he chose.
At this moment, Mu Jiao sat cross-legged on the stool. In this era, there is no mobile phone and no TV, but there are newspapers for people to entertain, but Mu Jiao is not literate, and he can’t read the newspapers, so this long night , he can only use meditation to kill time!
Just as the true qi circulated in the body’s meridians, Mu Jiao couldn’t help frowning slightly, because he found that his true qi had a slightly delayed feeling in the meridians, in other words, that is, the true qi running The speed has slowed down!
But the rate of slowing down is not large, it is only about 90% of the previous one. Mu Jiao couldn’t help but feel a little strange. He was running his infuriating energy over and over again, but he never found the root cause of the problem. There was no injury in his body. Or signs of poisoning, there is no physical discomfort, everything looks normal.
“Could it be that I haven’t had a good rest these days, causing the meridians to block and the martial arts state to be unstable?”
Mu Jiao thought about it for a long time before he came up with such a reason for himself.
It is not unreasonable for him to think so. After all, he has not slept for more than two hours in the past few days, and his nerves have been in a state of high tension. Although the physical fitness of martial artists is much better than that of normal people, it is still Those who are not out of the realm of mortals and whose nerves are tense for several days without rest but are not affected at all, are not people, but immortals!
“It seems that I have a good night’s sleep in the middle of the night, otherwise I can’t hold it anymore!”
Mu Jiao thought to himself in his heart.
From the beginning to the end, he did not doubt in other aspects.
In the hall on the first floor of the inn, dozens of Turkic spies were eating in groups of three or five around the tables. They were not treated as well as Li Tai’s. This is also to prevent the government from manipulating their diet. After all, it is an extraordinary period, and you can only feel at ease if you eat your own food.
The day after catching Li Tai, Xuan Ye divided the more than 100 wolf guards in the inn into two groups. The two groups worked in two shifts during the day and the other group stayed outside the inn during the day. At night, another group of people is guarding outside.
The people who stay in the inn can sit on the stool or sit on the ground against the wall to take a nap when they are free. At this time, after a quarter of an hour, it will be their turn to replace the bright and dark whistle outside and go on duty at night, so these People eat very fast, and almost no one talks while eating.
“Well, did you smell anything?”
At this moment, a Turkic spy finished eating the food in the bowl, sniffed hard with his nose, frowned and wondered.
The companion next to him also sniffed when he heard the words, and then said: “Well, it really does! It smells like burning incense, where did it come from?”
“It’s Lao Shizi Huansheng, who was made by the bald donkeys at the Fa conference today. It should have come from King Wei’s room!”
Cao An had also finished eating at this time. Hearing the comments of the people next to him, he subconsciously looked up at the Tianzi guest room on the second floor, and then opened his mouth to explain to the two of them.
Someone said in surprise: “Huanshengxiang? It turns out that this is Huanshengxiang. I heard that this thing can increase vitality and heal old wounds. I didn’t expect that King Wei would actually open the door and give us a couple of sniffs!”
Obviously, there are still many Turkic spies who are secretly watching the puja in the small market west of the inn during the day.
“So amazing? Then I’ll take a few more sniffs!”
After listening to the Turkic spies, they all put down their bowls and chopsticks, raised their necks, and took a deep breath.
What a large smoking “cigarette” scene!
Seeing this, Cao An said angrily, “Fantastic ass! Boss An has previously confirmed that this Huansheng fragrance has no effect of increasing vitality at all, it is just an ordinary soothing incense, no, the effect of this thing is even the ordinary soothing incense. Why don’t you eat quickly, the brothers outside are still hungry and waiting for us to replace them!”
Hearing this, everyone gave up “smoking cigarettes” with little interest, and resumed eating.
Cao An was right, there were indeed many people outside the inn waiting for them to go out to work after eating. Most of them were already hungry at the moment, plus the time they slept in the past few days. Very few, the vast majority of people are both hungry and sleepy at the moment, if it is not strong enough willpower, they would not be able to persevere!
However, when they thought that they would be able to enter the inn to eat and rest in a quarter of an hour, the Turkic spies outside the inn suddenly became a little more energetic. They all looked forward to the last quarter of an hour to pass quickly. This state is similar to that of students who are about to leave school. , Just like the employees who are about to leave work, their minds have already flown elsewhere, and by the way, their vigilance is gradually disappearing!
So much so that they didn’t notice that most of the pedestrians on the nearby streets were in a hurry to go home. When the puja started before, there were watermelon hawkers, beggars begging, drinking tea, selling The big tea man, the trader carrying the pole, the old man pushing the cart, the little boy pulling the carriage to transport the goods, as well as the pedestrians coming and going or the diners and tea customers staying at various stalls… all still stay in the same place or nearby. , there is no intention to close the stall or leave at all.
Even these people often glanced at the Turkic spies outside the inn from time to time.
If you feel it carefully, you can feel that the atmosphere near the inn is a little weird, that is, the tranquility before the storm! !
“Hey~!”
“Bang~!”
Just when the Turkic spies outside the inn let their guard down, the remaining Turkic spies in the inn were eating and “smoking”, Scorpio was sleeping, Li Tai was resting in the room, and Mu Jiao was guarding Li Tai, the sky suddenly rose from the west side of the Tongfu Inn. A firework, the firework exploded when it rose to mid-air, the sound and light of the fire, let alone Jian’an Square, even the people in the vicinity of Jian’an Square could see or hear it.
The group of Turkic spies who were guarding outside the inn raised their heads subconsciously after hearing the movement and looked at the group of fireworks that exploded in the sky above the west.
“Action~!”
It was different from their subconscious daze. Those “ordinary people” who had been guarding around the inn, after seeing this firework in the sky above the west side, seemed to have agreed and negotiated in advance, and took out their weapons or weapons one after another. Hidden weapon, jumped towards the Turkic spies near the inn!
Those hawkers selling watermelons, beggars begging for food, big men drinking and selling tea, merchants carrying poles, and old men pushing carts are all martial arts masters!
Twenty-five people armed with various weapons rushed from all sides of the inn, at the same time, towards the 65 bright and dark posts near the inn!
Obviously, these twenty-five people knew the location of the bright and dark posts in advance!
“Whoa, whoa, whoa~!”
In the west of the battlefield, I saw a young man in black. At the moment when he stood up, three flying knives with black leaves shot out from his hands and flew to a bright post and two places in the west of the inn. Dark whistle, the three Turkic spies didn’t even react, and their throats were cut by flying knives, and they fell to the ground while clutching their necks!
“Enemy attack~! There is an enemy attack~!”
At this moment, a Turkic spy outside the inn finally reacted, and shouted a warning to the Turkic spy in the inn, and the shrill voice resounded throughout Jian’an Fang!
“Pfft~!”
It’s just that as soon as the Turkic spy’s voice fell, a long knife appeared on his neck, and with a “puchi”, the heads were separated!
“Shhhhh~!”
In the inn, a group of Turkic spies who were eating heard the huge movement outside, and suddenly got up, copied weapons, and was about to go out of the inn to find out. His face changed and he got up quickly. He raised his infuriating energy and prepared to rush towards Li Tai’s position with a stride!
Because Scorpio had told him before, once there was any change outside the inn, he had to control Li Tai at the first time. Only by mastering Li Tai, an important hostage, would they have the capital to survive!
The Scorpio in the next room also sat up from the bed the second time he heard the movement outside. The reason why it was the second time and not the first time was because he slept more deeply. When he slept before, Scorpio was also worried. There will be changes outside, so he also sleeps with the door open. This way, if there is any change outside, he can hear it as soon as possible, and can also rush out as soon as possible.
But it backfired. The past few days, Scorpio’s heartstrings have been very tight, and he has never had time to rest. As soon as he was next to the bed in the evening, he fell asleep immediately; plus…, Scorpio sniffed and smelled the air. He couldn’t help frowning because of the residual scent of Huanshengxiang, thinking that Anshun Mountain is really a “quack doctor”, this Huanshengxiang obviously has a strong effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep, but it was said by the other party as a very effective sleep aid. shallow?
That’s right, Scorpio thinks that he didn’t get up the first time, mainly because of Huan Shengxiang, who made him fall asleep too deeply!
Of course, this was all a momentary thought. After Scorpio got up, the movement didn’t stop at all. He immediately raised his infuriating energy, and he was about to run towards the Tianzihao guest room next to him!
He didn’t care about the life and death of the wolf guard outside the inn, or he didn’t have time to care. He had to rush to Li Tai’s side as soon as possible and hold Li Tai’s life in his hands!
Just when the Turkic spies who were eating in the inn raised their weapons and prepared to go out to support, when Mu Jiao was about to lift his anger and rushed to Li Tai’s bed, and when Scorpio was about to use light-weight exercises to rush to the Tianzi guest room as soon as possible, the west side of the inn suddenly stopped. There was a solemn and sacred voice that sounded like a bell:
“All phenomena belong to me~www.mtlnovel.com~ Sen Luo is saddened, reborn in the Pure Land, forever delusional~!”
The mighty voice was like a dragon roaring for nine days, and it was like the sound of ancient gods and demons, which made the minds of everyone in the inn in a state of confusion, unable to dodge at all.
In the inn, dozens of Turkic spies who were raising their weapons and preparing to go out to support, after hearing the voice of the gods and demons, they felt that their infuriating qi suddenly became disordered, and they had a splitting headache. Keep pressing the temples of Zhitutu with both hands;
Scorpio, who was about to rush to the Tianzi guest room as soon as possible with light-weight exercises, was baptized by the sound of the gods and demons, and suddenly felt that the infuriating energy in his body was retrograde. , almost fainted in pain for a while;
In the Tianzihao guest room, Mu Jiao, who was about to rush to Li Tai’s bedside, was affected even more violently by the voice of the gods and demons. Feeling that his head was about to explode, and the eight extraordinary meridians were also thrown into chaos by the disordered True Qi in his body, he couldn’t bear it any longer, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and completely fainted!
