Chapter 6: Be on guard
Seeing the half note between Fu Qingzhou's fingers, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he strode forward to take it.
"It is indeed the handwriting of senior sister."
He finally smiled for the first time and nodded, with some emotion in his tone: "Eggs? It turned out to be eggs..."
Then he looked at Fu Qingzhou, with some relief in his eyes: "Do you know where the other half is?"
"I don't know."
Fu Qingzhou smiled bitterly: "I'm still looking, senior, you're here."
"It doesn't matter." The middle-aged man waved his hand: "Let's continue looking. "
He naturally hid the half note in his sleeve, and then quietly slid to the backyard - presumably to check other eggs.
It was only then that the Smoker's voice came over lightly: "You guys can do it, you were so sincere, but you held back at the critical moment?"
"Normal operation."
Fu Qingzhou smiled softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Speaking of which, what is the level of his martial arts? It is much better than all the charlatans I have ever seen."
“Not very good.”
Smoking Ghost said disdainfully: “It’s normal for the disciples of the great sect to be better than you and the charlatan. He just opened his martial arts aperture. His talent is far different from that of you."
"I guess he is at the level of the Fourth Realm, just an ant, otherwise he would have passed through my shield and overheard our conversation... Of course, he It’s easy to beat you up.”
Fu Qingzhou: "Martial Aperture? Four Realms?"
"It's useless if you know it now. I'll teach you when the time comes." Yan Gui said lazily: "I promised to teach you, and I won't break my promise. "
Fu Qingzhou smiled and did not continue to dwell on this issue, but his vigilance against smokers increased by two degrees.
Although it has no ability to protect itself, it can still quietly detect that there are notes in eggs, know the martial arts level of middle-aged people, and can even block the hearing of outsiders...
Really want to The best way is to learn something real as soon as possible. The world seems to be much bigger than you think.
And the matter of learning things cannot be completely pinned on the smoker. He will not believe that the smoker wants to teach him things because of reasons such as "it's hard to follow a promise."
As his thoughts were racing, Fu Qingzhou had already entered the bedroom of the old Miao woman.
After confirming that the middle-aged man was still rummaging through the chicken coop in the backyard, he took out the remaining half note from his sleeve and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Next step...
A few minutes later, the middle-aged man who had just cracked open all the eggs in the chicken coop one by one suddenly heard Fu Qingzhou's deliberately lowered call from the back room.
"Senior! Senior! I've found something!"
Looking up, I saw him leaning half out of the window, with half a small crumpled paper between his fingers.
The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up: “Quick, bring it over and show it to me!”
“There are more than just notes here.” Fu Qingzhou looked back at the room: “Under her bed...Senior You still have to come and see for yourself."
After saying that, he immediately got back into the window.
The middle-aged man frowned slightly, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
Although he has been in the sect for a long time and rarely travels around the world, there is no way he can trust a person of unknown origin so easily.
He still remembers the palm he gave the boy when he first saw him - as soon as he rolled into the house, the boy immediately turned around and ran away. When he struck the wind with his palm, the boy seemed to have a long growth behind him. Eye, roll on the spot to avoid it.
With such vigilance and reaction, it is impossible for him to be a hunter in the mountains!
If the young man hadn't learned martial arts, the middle-aged people would even doubt whether he was a young disciple of a large sect.
So he stepped lightly and looked into the house through the window and the moonlight. Fu Qingzhou was seen squatting beside the bed, opening the cabinet under the bed, seeming to be studying something, and turned to wave to him.
The middle-aged man squinted his eyes and did not go through the nearest window. Instead, he chose to enter the hall from the backyard and go around to the main door of the bedroom.
When he stood at the door of the room, the sound of gently playing with the wooden cabinets in the room was still ringing softly.
The middle-aged man flipped his hand, took out a wooden chopstick from the table beside him, and gently opened the door a crack. He stretched his body extremely tight to prevent any mechanism near the door.
But there was nothing, Fu Qingzhou was still squatting beside the bed and tinkering.
"Senior?"
He looked back at the middle-aged man with some confusion in his eyes: "Come here quickly, I can't understand this thing."
The middle-aged man's vigilance still remained, he opened the door with a creak and walked into the house step by step.
Fu Qingzhou seemed to notice his suspicion and quickly stood up and gave up his position.
"Where did you find the paper in your hand? What did you write?" The middle-aged man did not go over immediately, but asked first.
Fu Qingzhou looked down at the half piece of paper in his hand: "Well, it's pressed in the middle of the bed board. The number on it is..."
He reported three more numbers, The middle-aged man was slightly startled after hearing this.
"Is it true?"
He was a little calmer. The five numbers before and after corresponded to the Five Spirits Secret Lock of Wandu Mountain - a commonly used one in the sect. This kind of mechanism is a kind of mortise and tenon mechanism lock. It is a lock and a box. Each one has a different appearance and unlocking method. It must be unlocked according to the established digital password rules before it can be opened.
The middle-aged man slowly stepped forward and looked under the bed.
But he did not see the Five Spirits Secret Lock, there was only an ordinary locked wooden box in the bedside cabinet.
"Senior, I can't pick this lock."
Fu Qingzhou explained at the side: "But I think the patterns on the wooden box seem to have some regularity, and this half of the note is in They were found under the bed, do you think they are related?"
The middle-aged man nodded slightly - it is indeed possible. It is not surprising to add an extra lock to the outside of the Five Spirits Secret Lock.
The wooden box was extremely ordinary, and there were obvious signs of prying and scratching around the iron lock.
He frowned: "It's just that you can't pick the lock, but you can't break it, either?"
"I don't dare." Fu Qingzhou smiled awkwardly: "I'm worried that if it happens inside There is a self-destruct mechanism..."
The middle-aged man sneered.
You are an ordinary hunter, but you still know the self-destruct mechanism?
He has decided to kill the young man directly as soon as this matter is resolved to avoid causing further complications.
After thinking about this, the middle-aged man's attitude improved and he smiled softly: "Don't worry, this lock is nothing special."
He squatted beside the bed and reached out to hold the iron lock. , the inner breath surges, and he pulls down hard!
With a sudden sound, the lock was ripped off by him, and the wooden box bounced open with a loud click!
At the same time, Fu Qingzhou moved back quietly.
The middle-aged man was startled, and a strong warning sign suddenly arose in his heart, but it was already too late.
A black mist spewed out from the wooden box, carrying an extremely spicy smell that made his eyes blurred and his breathing difficult.
What's worse is that he knew immediately that this was the poison that Senior Sister loved to use - the green-faced beast!
The reason why it is called this is because the poison does not even need to be inhaled, it will penetrate quickly just by contacting the skin. Although it will not be fatal immediately, ordinary detoxification pills cannot suppress it at all. The faster the poison is exerted, the faster the poison will be exerted - after the poisoned person dies, his whole body will turn green and his face will be as hideous as a beast. The death state is extremely miserable!
The middle-aged man did not think anything else, and immediately stretched out his hand to his arms, trying to solve it first anyway...
But at this moment, a short knife stabbed him hard in the ribs from behind!
"Senior."
Fu Qingzhou's sneer came: "If you don't want to die, just be more honest."
