Chapter 2 An accident in the salt field
——
Not long after, Shopkeeper He came out from inside, solemnly dragging something wrapped in layers of yellow cloth with both hands, and gently placed it on the table beside Qi Yun.
The yellow cloth was unfolded, and inside was a black box carved with strange patterns, filled with a faint fragrance.
As soon as Qi Yun smelled it, he knew it was the box of lobular red sandalwood.
Shopkeeper He opened the box, and inside was a small black vial the size of a thumb, filled with a hint of coolness, and he didn't know what was inside.
What's this?
The blood of ghosts.
Shopkeeper He said solemnly.
What?
Surprised, Qi Yun grabbed the black vial.
Second Master, be careful, don't touch it lightly.
Shopkeeper He hurriedly said.
What's wrong?
This thing contains a highly poisonous substance. If an ordinary person touches a trace of it, the poisonous poison will attack the heart, and there will be no place for burial in an instant. Although there is a black bottle to isolate it, there is always danger.
Shopkeeper He said.
Qi Yun's face changed, and he retracted his palm again, saying: Is this really the blood of ghosts? Do ghosts really exist in this world?
Shopkeeper He nodded and said complicatedly: This is what Mr. Li bet on me. It is said that he got it with great difficulty. He lost money with me yesterday and was eager to get back the money. I pledged fifty thousand taels of silver on this thing, and said that it would be redeemed immediately once the money is paid back.”
It's a pity that he was unlucky last night, and the fifty thousand taels of silver was quickly lost. At that time, Master Li told me to keep it safe, so he went back to get the money. It's a pity that he never came back after he went back.
He was also extremely disturbed now, thinking that Master Li's death might be related to this thing, and was about to report to the gang first, when the people from the yamen came to the door early in the morning.
Qi Yun's heart also surged.
Is what Master Li said true or false?
Have you tried the contents inside?
No, I think the black bottle is extraordinary, and I haven't touched it, and Mr. Li definitely doesn't dare to deceive us with ordinary things, so I let him go back.
Shopkeeper He said.
Okay, then I'll take this thing with me.
Qi Yun said.
Yes, Second Master.
Shopkeeper He nodded.
He is also going to report this thing to the leader, and it would be best for Qi Yun to bring it back.
Qi Yun didn't stay any longer, and asked shopkeeper He to wrap up the parcel, carried it in his hand, and left the place.
Shopkeeper He sent Qi Yun out of the casino all the way.
The headquarters of the Qinglong Gang is located in the south city. It is not a rich area, but a place where the three religions and the nine streams gather. The streets are full of brothels and gambling houses. It is not peaceful at night.
A few years ago, when the Qinglong Gang was not rising, robbers and thieves would often come and go at night, and murder and robbery were common occurrences.
Later, the Qinglong Gang rose up and took control of Nancheng. After destroying several gambling houses and brothels with extremely cruel means, the rest of the people all became honest.
No one dared to kill people in Nancheng District anymore, and even the number of drunken rioters decreased a lot.
Over the past few years, Nancheng has become quite prosperous.
From this point of view, the existence of the Qinglong Gang has at least played a very good role in maintaining law and order, so in the past few years, the Yamen has hated the Qinglong Gang while dealing with them with a shy face.
In the words of his eldest brother Qi Teng, their Qinglong gang is equivalent to the chamber pots of these officials and lords. Everyone thinks they are dirty, but everyone can't do without them.
However, the cooperation between the Qinglong Gang and the government can be regarded as each getting what it needs.
In the past few years, the government has suppressed many emerging and foreign forces, so that it can firmly sit on the top spot of the largest gang.
The vermilion door was wide open, and two mighty stone lions squatted quietly in front of the door, and four masters stood under the eaves, guarding the door of the headquarters with solemn faces.
As soon as Qi Yun came back, he found that there were many people missing in the yard, and he couldn't help feeling puzzled.
Shunzi, where have all these people gone?
He recruited a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy and asked
Back to the second master, some brothers guarding the salt field had an accident, and the leader led people to rush there half an hour ago.
The boy was a little dark and said
What happened? What happened?
Qi Yun asked in surprise.
Shunzi's expression was a little unnatural, and he said fearfully: According to the news that came, Fu Bo and the others guarding the saltworks...all of them died. When they were discovered, the bodies were soaked in the salt pond, and they were salted and shriveled.
He seemed to be able to think of that scene, and there was a little panic in his small eyes.
What?
Qi Yun was surprised: Do you know who did it?
This hasn't been found yet. We just got the news. Uncle Fu contacted us two days ago. It just happened within two days.
Sunja said.
An unspeakable pressure appeared in Qi Yun's heart again.
Was this done by a human? Or is it the same as Master Li's house, is it a ghost?
His back was somewhat icy cold.
He knew Fu Bo, he was in his early fifties, he looked like a good old man on the outside, but in fact he was ruthless. He had practiced martial arts, killed a tiger with his bare hands when he was young, and shocked half of Pingyang City with his sharp knife.
There are five saltworks in their Qinglong gang, which are one of their main sources of income, and they have always been guarded by Uncle Fu. One can imagine how much his elder brother values him.
But such a strong person actually died as soon as he said he would die.
Is something going to happen, big brother?
His heart suddenly tightened.
Qi Teng is his biggest backer, once Qi Teng dies, he will definitely be the first to be squeezed out by everyone in the gang, and the end will be even worse in the end.
For the first time, Qi Yun realized the importance of strength.
It is not enough to have a backing.
The most important thing for people is to rely on themselves!
What's more, with so many strange things happening one after another, it's impossible to guarantee that it will happen to me one day.
Practice martial arts!
You must practice martial arts!
Qi Yun had this idea again.
No matter how hard and tiring you are, you must persevere this time.
Did Guardian Lin go too?
he asked.
It's gone. For such a big matter, Protector Lin rushed over immediately.
Sunja said.
Qi Yun was silent, and walked towards the room.
Such a big incident happened in the salt field, with the temper of the eldest brother, he will never come back unless he finds out the matter clearly.
His eldest brother has a typical character of vengeance. Personal enmity never alarms the government. He has his own special set of revenge methods. He will never stop until the murderer is caught.
Therefore, in the next few days, it will be difficult for him to see his eldest brother and Protector Lin.
inside the room.
Qi Yun's heart was heavy and he was thinking deeply.
Suddenly, he looked at the package he had brought back.
What is the effect of this ghost blood? Can it be used as a defense?
He unwrapped the package, lifted the box, looked at the cold black vial inside again, hesitated for a moment, wrapped his palm with a silk handkerchief, and picked up the black vial.
The tentacles were cold, as if a piece of ice had been held in his hand.
The other hand also took out the silk handkerchief, and carefully opened the cap of the bottle, and a gloomy and cold breath suddenly came out of it.
In just a moment, Qi Yun felt icy cold all over his body, as if he had suddenly fallen into a bottomless ice cave, all the hairs on his body stood up, and it was as if he was walking into a cemetery alone, and someone was blowing air-conditioning behind him.
He shivered uncontrollably, his eyes cautiously looked into the black bottle.
It was so dark that nothing could be seen.
He thought for a while, looked at the potted plant on one side, and was about to test the power of this thing, but suddenly the black bottle in his hand made a sound like shattering, and it actually shattered directly in his hand.
His face changed, and he quickly let go, but it was too late, a drop of emerald green liquid passed through Sipa and entered into his palm.
laugh!
A cloud of green smoke emerged from his palm, and quickly dissipated, even the cold aura disappeared all at once.
Point value +30
A white light flew by.
Qi Yun's face was stunned for a moment, and then he looked down at the ground.
The black jade bottle shattered into more than a dozen parts, and there was no trace of coldness inside. A small eye the size of a chopstick was burned out on the silk handkerchief in his hand. Other than that, there was nothing unusual.
But what was that white light just now?
Qi Yun frowned and thought.
Suddenly, his body froze in place, his eyes glazed over.
Pieces of hazy light appeared on his panel, and gradually gathered a light blue translucent panel.
Points: 30
Vitality: 1 (can be improved)
Spirit: 1 (can be boosted)
Energy: 0 (can be boosted)
Skills: None.
Number of lottery draws: (can be drawn)
Qi Yun rubbed his eyes and opened them again.
The panel remained motionless, clearly displayed in front of him.
