Chapter 171 Taibai Yijian (additional update)
Chang'an, Taibai Tower, 18th floor.
Liu Sheng came back with Ling Xiaoshu, and there was still a faint scent of powder belonging to Wen Weilan on her nose.
I didn’t expect that they only reunited for a brief moment without saying a few words. They didn’t even know where she was.
Although I know it is Xiaoxiang Tower, but which part is it?
It seems that the environment she is in is very dangerous, and she can even encounter disaster-level monsters. I don't know what will happen next...
[You should worry about yourself first. 】
Liu Sheng suddenly raised his eyes after being reminded by other Liu Sheng.
At this time, I was already standing behind that figure, only one step away.
And her fingertips were about to touch the back, and her fingernails could barely touch the man's clothes.
"Sister!" Ling Xiaoshu screamed.
She quickly put down her hand and took a step back.
At this time, she was very close, and through the light outside the building, she could see that the man's clothes were very familiar. The royal blue loose brocade clothes covered an extraordinarily thin chicken figure.
【Jiang Caibin? 】
【It’s him. 】
[But why is he not moving? 】
【Don’t you smell the blood on his body? 】
Liu Sheng did not dare to move his body, walked to him and looked around, only to see that his eyes were closed at this time, and he seemed to have passed out. There was a huge hole on his waist and abdomen. There were bloody wounds, but the whole body was standing straight.
Liu Sheng wanted to get closer, but suddenly there was a clang and something kicked at his feet.
Looking down, he saw it was a bloody dagger.
[It seems that this is the one who stabbed this unfortunate child. 】
【Who did it? 】
【Although his words are very annoying, I really want to stab him. 】
【Maybe it’s really us? 】
Liu Sheng was shocked.
Seeing that Ling Xiaoshu still wanted to squat down and pick up the dagger, she quickly picked up Ling Xiaoshu and took a few steps back.
It is better not to get close to this kind of suspicious place.
However, the feeling of being followed came again...
Originally, Liu Sheng thought that those eyes were just because of Wen Weilan's experience there, and they all felt the same.
But if you think about it carefully, of course not, because when she is alone and away from the outside world, she will not appear. Only when the outside world can contact her will these sights become pervasive again.
And although the line of sight is also dense, it is different from that strange thing [Don’t be seen by me].
The sight of that strange creature is bloodthirsty, eager to kill with one strike.
But this line of sight is different. They are just curious, forcing, and waiting at the same time, seeming to be planning something.
What are they planning?
Liu Sheng thought of her posture just now and Jiang Caibin's wound.
It seems a bit familiar.
She couldn't help but think of a corpse that fell from the sky and knocked her entire bowl of wontons to the ground.
A cold light flashed in her eyes, as if she had guessed it.
Now that you know it, you won’t fall into the trap.
She stepped back step by step and tried to escape towards the stairs.
However, these sights surrounded her again, and those illusions that disturbed her thinking came to mind again.
There are chaotic lights in all directions, and the small trees beside him have disappeared. Only Jiang Caibin standing upright in front of him is surrounded by them.
As long as she makes a wrong choice or takes a wrong step, she will push Jiang Caibin downstairs.
Liu Sheng sneered: "Do you think you are hiding well?"
The illusion did not fluctuate, Liu Sheng seemed to be just talking to the air.
"You can keep peeking at me and interfering with my thinking, but when you really want to push me to do something, you have to be near me, right?"
"Because, the smell of you , too strong.”
“And I, sorry, am very sensitive to the strange things around me.”
As he spoke, the small tentacles wrapped under the lightning whip pointed in one direction. He reached out and grabbed something in the light.
In an instant, all the light and shadow compressed into lines, and the illusion split into countless back figures, were broken like a mirror and shattered into countless colorful fragments.
The real scene on the 18th floor of Taibai Tower returns again.
The little tentacle retracted and grabbed a fluffy brown bear toy. The eyes were made of buttons. It looked rough and a little silly, but the smooth button surface reflected strangely in the dark. The brilliance seems to be alive.
Ling Xiaoshu, who reappeared next to him, liked the little bear very much, his eyes were shining: "Sister, can you..."
Liu Sheng: "Let's talk about it when we get back, this thing is not clean now "
As she said that, she stored the little bear in a magic object container. It was very weak, so the containment process was very smooth.
Liu Sheng was still thinking about how to deal with Jiang Caibin's current appearance, but there were already chaotic footsteps and voices coming from the stairwell behind him. There is no other way, it is better to take action.
Two people appeared here alone, one was seriously injured, and they investigated the dispute between Jiang Caibin and Wang Dongdong. Based on her relationship with Wang Dongdong, she could not argue.
[Sure enough, Senior Sister Lin is right, you shouldn’t go out before the imperial examination. 】
She grabbed the eaves with her small tentacles, hugged Ling Xiaoshu and used the power of her small tentacles to fly to the tiles of the eaves.
Just as he took a breath, he heard an old hoarse voice next to him.
“My skills are pretty good.”
Liu Sheng felt a chill in her heart, thinking that she had just used a small tentacle to get up. Didn’t that person see the existence of the small tentacle?
"The Trickster?" The man asked again.
Liu Sheng did not answer, but followed the sound.
I saw a slovenly, short and fat old man squatting on the tile surface. The gray beard on his face was messily tangled together. His face could not be seen clearly, except for a huge red and conspicuous nose.
The old man has an iron sword on his back and a wine jar in his hand. He is drinking heavily. From time to time, wine overflows from the corner of his mouth and drips down his beard onto the book. The coarse cloth clothes that were stained with oil made them look even more damp.
"It's okay not to answer. It's okay for the little girl to be more cautious."
He took a sip of wine and took out a pack of oil paper from his clothes. When he opened it, there was actually a burning Get golden and fragrant roast chicken.
Liu Sheng smelled the aroma and swallowed silently.
Seeing this, the old man tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Liu Sheng.
Liu Sheng looked at the old man's hand carefully. Although it looked sloppy, the nails were clean and there was no dirt on his hands, at least on the surface. Then he took the chicken leg with peace of mind.
【Not cautious enough! ]
[But, it smells really good...]
The old man tore off another chicken leg and handed it to Ling Xiaoshu, who was drooling.
"Grandpa, can you see me?" Ling Xiaoshu picked up the chicken leg without hesitation, took a bite immediately, and said vaguely while chewing.
“You look so conspicuous, why can’t I see you?” the old man said cheerfully.
Then he picked up the remaining roast chicken and took big bites.
How pleasant it is to eat a few mouthfuls and drink a sip of wine.
Liu Sheng was not in such a good mood. He squatted on the eaves and looked at the more complete night view of Chang'an. Hearing Jiang Caibin's exclamations and comments below, he took a bite of the chicken drumstick with discomfort. .
As a result, after taking one sip, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.
The skin of the chicken was brushed with syrup and burned until it was crispy. The chicken inside was tender, juicy and still hot. It was obvious that the old man had to carefully hide it close to his body to maintain such a temperature.
[I feel a bit unappetizing thinking about this...]
"Is it delicious? This is Yanshiju's roast chicken, the best dish to go with wine!" The old man looked at Liu Sheng's proud expression. He said quietly, "Want to drink?"
Liu Sheng decisively refused.
"It's a pity, I don't know how to enjoy it."
The voices under the eaves gradually became quieter and farther away, and Liu Sheng finally put his heart into his stomach.
"That kid is fine, you should worry about yourself." The old man always knew what Liu Sheng was thinking at a glance.
"Grandpa, do you know who is harming my sister?" Ling Xiaoshu asked proactively.
“I don’t know.” The old man leaned back and shook his head nonchalantly, “When I came here, that kid was like this.”
"Grandpa, you just came here?"
"Yes, grandpa has work to do."
"What work?" Ling Xiaoshu continued to ask innocently.
The old man did not answer, but looked up at the sky: "It's almost time."
He patted his round belly for fear, put the roasted chicken back into the oil paper, and covered it with greasy He calculated it with his fingers and nodded: "Well, the location is almost there."
Liu Sheng looked at it curiously, wondering what else this sloppy old man had to do besides eating and drinking.
With a clang, the old man drew out the sword from behind.
The quality of the long sword is mediocre. It looks like the kind of crude iron sword that can be bought in a blacksmith shop for three pieces per spirit. It is usually used by beginners in academies.
I saw the old man throwing this ordinary iron sword in one direction very casually.
Liu Sheng was just about to say that this was not littering, but the iron sword suddenly disappeared from sight and disappeared.
Then the old man clapped his hands and said, "We're done."
"Goodbye, two little girls." He gave Liu Sheng and Ling Xiaoshu a big smile under his messy beard.
Then he jumped off the eaves.
A few leaps and disappeared into the bustling night market of Chang'an.
Liu Sheng blinked, not knowing what happened.
"Sister, Meteor!" Ling Xiaoshu exclaimed.
Liu Sheng raised his head when he heard this.
An extremely dazzling meteor, dragging a long tail flame, streaked across the sky.
