The sound of fighting on the deck became more and more fierce. The two escorts holding knives in the guest room did not know what was going on outside. They blew out the candles and closed the doors and windows.
Once someone breaks in from the outside, they can't see anything in the dark, but the two of them can use the light when the door opens to strike first and kill the next person with a knife.
The plan was perfect, but both of them overlooked one thing.
The locked doors and windows were airtight, and the dark environment prevented them from seeing clearly the details in the room.
I don't know when, a faint fragrance began to pour into the room, and the fragrance became stronger and stronger. By the time the two escorts realized something was wrong, their heads were already dizzy and they fell to the ground with a thud.
After a while, a golden thread as thin as hair came out from the crack of the door. Pulling through the crack, the door pin was easily lifted.
"Buzz..."
The door was pushed open.
The two escorts on the ground were already making deafening snoring sounds.
"Hey, you two idiots, just sleep peacefully."
The girl walked into the room with her mouth and nose covered.
He picked up the kettle that had fallen on the ground and put it on the table. He also didn't forget to arrange the teacups neatly.
Then she walked to the big box in the corner. She had been eyeing such a big box early on. If someone hadn't suddenly come to rob the escort, she wouldn't have had the chance to do it.
I don't know who of the group of people outside can win, and I don't know how long they can keep fighting. In short, I have to seize the time and take away the treasures inside as soon as possible.
There is a lock on the box, and it's not an ordinary copper lock.
This lock is called Jiuqujingjing. It has three keyholes and three keys. The keys are in the hands of three people. To open the lock, three people need to twist the keys at the same time. Even if you are slow, you can't open it.
The lock is made of thick fine iron, and the head of the lock alone weighs almost seven or eight kilograms. If you want to smash it open with something, you may not be able to open it until dawn.
So when most people see this lock, they just leave without spending any time.
But when the girl took a closer look, she immediately became happy.
A laughter like silver bells came out of his mouth: "Have these reckless men trained their muscles into their brains?"
The girl stood up, looked at the lock, raised her foot and kicked it.
One foot... two feet...
"Bang!", the lock was broken? No, the lock of the box was kicked off.
Without the latch, no matter how strong the lock is, it will be useless.
Without the lock, the girl wanted to open the box, but when her hand touched the box, she seemed to remember something. She turned over, jumped up with her waist high, and stepped on the walls on both sides of the box with her feet spread apart.
On the top, a person is hanging in mid-air and bending down to open a box.
Why is the posture so strange?
I'm afraid that there is a mechanism in the box, and if someone who doesn't understand opens the box rashly, if they open the black hole inside, or if a few crossbow arrows are shot out, they won't be able to hide in time.
The girl gently opened the box with both hands. She heard a rattling sound inside the box. The girl's brows moved slightly and she pulled hard.
Puff puff……
I didn't see clearly what it was, but the wall in front was already beaten into a hornet's nest.
When the girl saw this, sweat dropped from her forehead.
"Oh my god!"
It's a shame that I remembered it. If I couldn't remember it, I would die here today.
He jumped down, narrowed his eyes into a crescent moon, and looked into the box.
The smile on the girl's face suddenly began to stiffen little by little: "Are these people sick?"
All I saw was a dark mass in the box, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a corpse.
The body was curled up and it was unknown how long it had been hidden in the box, but the strange thing was that the body did not have any bad smell.
But you can still see the deteriorated corpse spots and rotting flesh.
"After all this effort, it turned out to be a corpse. It was really unlucky."
She frowned, cursed and tried to close the box, then took the opportunity to sneak away.
Press your palms on the box and push it down hard.
"Bang!" The box didn't close?
The girl glanced doubtfully, stood up, turned around, and was about to leave. But after taking two steps, she turned back and glanced at the half-open seam of the box, and the feeling in her heart began to twist.
Anyway, the fighting is still fierce outside, so I still have some time.
When she thought of this, she walked back, lifted the lid of the box, used all her strength, and then buckled it down.
"Boom!"
This time the box made a louder noise, but the box never closed. Why couldn't it close?
The girl's heart skipped a beat and she lowered her head to look at the box.
Only then could it be seen clearly that one of the hands of the corpse was somehow stuck in the box.
"Huh...scared me."
Seeing clearly that her hand was stuck on the box, the girl squatted down and looked at the escort's knife beside her, trying to take the hand back.
She reached out and picked up the knife, but just when her hand was about to grasp the handle of the knife, the girl suddenly looked into the box.
Her delicate face gradually turned pale, her whole body trembled, her mouth was half-opened, and her body suddenly froze in place.
In the dark box, two pairs of eyes stared straight at her.
I saw the hand on the box's seam twisting slowly, and making a clicking sound of its joints. The sound of bones rubbing came from the box, which sounded a bit like popcorn in a hot pot.
She is a well-known thief in the world. She once sneaked into the palace and stole the princess's most beloved jade Ruyi.
Except for the Forbidden City, she has never been inside. What scene has she not seen?
I have also heard all kinds of mysterious and strange rumors in the world.
But I have never seen a dead person resurrected and crawling out of a box.
She wants to run.
But his legs were shaking uncontrollably, as if he had lost all consciousness, when he looked at the gap in the box getting wider and wider.
The girl's cheeks were numb, and she even felt unable to breathe freely.
"I don't want to die, I want to live..."
She opened her mouth wide and wanted to shout, but the sound could only come out as a low growl from her throat, without saying a single word clearly.
"Kakakaka..."
The box was slowly pushed open, and the corpse stood up. The rotting face was a little dazed at first, and then looked at his palms, as if thinking about something. After a while, he realized that he was dead.
.
"ah!"
"ah!!"
The corpse tried shouting twice, and after finding that he seemed to be able to speak normally, a stiff smile suddenly appeared on the rotten face.
"Haha, freedom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a person suddenly walked in from the door. Before the body could see who it was, the other person's fist had already hit his face. The strong and powerful fist was like a hammer hitting his face.
He could even see a flying tooth flashing past his eyes, followed by an open fist and a twist on his shoulder.
"Crack!!"
The arm that felt no pain instantly became soft.
The person who came didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. He leaned forward and threw him over his shoulder, throwing him to the ground. When the corpse came back to consciousness, its posture was twisted into a mess.
Then he watched helplessly as he was lifted up and thrown into the box again.
"Bang!" The box was closed again.
I didn't see clearly what happened from beginning to end. I only heard a man's voice outside the box: "Obviously, no!"
Looking at the box that was re-covered, the girl who was slumped on the ground finally recovered from her fear.
He raised his head with difficulty and looked at the man in front of him.
In the dark night, his face could not be seen at all, only his twinkling eyes revealed a heart-catching light.
"Thief?"
Xu Tong sat on the box and looked down at the woman's face.
The luck on top of the woman's head has changed since she appeared. It's cloudy at the moment. It's hard to say whether it's good or bad, but it's much better than the luck she had just before her death.
I also gained 10 points of proficiency in Qimen. Although it is not much, it can add up to a tower.
However, this also reminded me that I must think of a way to improve Qi Men's ability when I return.
Maybe it was the aftermath of the disaster, or maybe it was the intense fear that made the woman's head a little dull. After hearing Xu Tong's question, she actually nodded numbly.
"That's good, come with me."
Xu Tong lifted the box on his shoulder. This corpse was very strange. It was obviously dead, but it still retained its own consciousness. It didn't look like it was a zombie. If it wasn't a zombie, what would it be?
But there are specialties in the art, and if you don’t understand it yourself, you can take it back to Gao Zhuo to study it carefully.
The girl was still at a loss in her mind. When she saw Xu Tong leaving, she followed behind with a blank expression.
The two of them walked to the deck and saw that the deck was covered in blood.
Maybe those who robbed the escort never thought that in addition to the people from the escort agency, there would be another group of masters on this boat.
Especially Huo Wuji, in order to show off the performance of Mr. Xu Tong, the impending murder is like chopping melons and vegetables.
A blazing fire rolled up between his palms, which looked very similar to his own skill [Extreme Flame Turbine], but the only difference was that Huo Wuji's was more domineering and fierce.
This reminded him of what Qian Hand once said, Huo Wuji seems to be cultivating a kind of Hunyuan Fire. Although it is strong, it is not orthodox.
I wonder what effect it will have if I combine it with my own magic flame and corrosive fire?
Thinking of this, Xu Tong's gaze towards Huo Wuji gradually became eager.
In just a short while, Huo Wuji had already killed everyone around him.
Seeing Xu Tong coming out, Huo Wuji grinned and asked, "Brother Ma, what do you think of my Hunyuan Fire?"
Xu Tong nodded and gave him a thumbs up: "hit!"
Huo Wuji grinned and raised his chin towards the other two brothers, showing a bit of pride.
When Qian Shu and Bai Shitong saw this, they immediately worked harder, fearing that they would lose their price in front of Brother Ma.
Now Thousand Hands does not have the weird and changeable strength in the previous script, and its strength is not as strong as Huo Wuji, but it is easy to kill these bandits.
In comparison, Know-It-All is a little inferior, but this guy seems to be proficient in divination. Every step he takes is in the most clever place. The blades that fall around him seem to be chopped out of thin air. On the contrary, he seems to be casual.
He raised his hand and struck the sword, and the opponent seemed to have bumped into him, hitting his blade straight.
Xu Tong stood aside and watched with joy, almost flying with joy.
If he guessed correctly, Bai Shitong would be the boss of Feng Lailou in the future, and he would be proficient in the art of divination.
Thinking of the many things Feng Lailou had done to him, the smile on Xu Tong's face became friendly.
These robbers were really unable to fight, and they did not dare to continue fighting. They whistled, called to the remaining robbers, turned around and jumped into the water.
Seeing the robbers leaving, the escorts on the ship breathed a sigh of relief.
The leading bodyguard put down the knife in his hand, walked up to Huo Wuji and others, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you heroes for your help, please accept my bow."
When Huo Wuji and others saw this, they quickly moved away to make way for Xu Tong.
After all, the leader is behind, how can they steal the limelight from the leader?
Seeing this, the old escort knew that he had bowed to the wrong person, and immediately bowed to Xu Tong again.
Xu Tong glanced at them and found that the bloody disaster on the heads of these bodyguards had not dissipated. After thinking about it, he felt relieved.
"Go to rest early and don't disturb me again."
He waved his hands with a cold face, ignored the old escort, turned around and pulled the woman behind him to leave. As for the box, he naturally threw it into the prop book.
The life and death of these people has nothing to do with him. Moreover, even if he returns the box to them, they may not survive. After all, the contents in the box are too bizarre. If they find that the thing they are escorting is a living corpse, I am afraid that their employer will also
Won't let them live.
Not long after returning to the room, the boat was indeed in a mess, and the escorts seemed to have started arguing.
The girl was pulled by Xu Tong's arm. Faced with the fierce group of men in the room, the girl was so frightened that she did not dare to say a word. Yang Gongjing just frowned and thought it was Master Ma's habit that had come out.
But he didn't say anything.
At dawn the next day, the escorts found a place to disembark and lost their darts. They guessed that the group of robbers might have stolen the darts during the chaos, and planned to go back and try to find a way to get the darts back.
Before leaving, Bai Shitong also gave them a divination.
It's a big omen, so draw the lottery.
Xu Tong stood aside and counted with plum blossoms, and also gave them a divination. The strange thing was that his divination turned out to be a top sign, indicating good luck.
I don’t know why, but the results of their hexagrams are completely opposite, and I don’t know who made the wrong calculation.
But so what if the calculation is wrong. After all, in this era when human life is as cheap as grass, who cares about the lives of some escorts?
Everyone took a boat and went straight to Tianjin, and did not stop after changing to a boat.
It took about five days to finally return to the capital.
As soon as he returned to the capital, Xu Tong immediately asked for leave and went home without even saying hello to the Ministry of War.
But in the eyes of everyone, this seems to be the most normal thing. After all, it is abnormal for the eldest son of the March family to go to work every day.
Li Xi was not so lucky. She still had to report back to the palace. She didn't even have a chance to take a vacation and went to work as usual the next day.
Before leaving, Li Xi glanced at his good brothers with a resentful look. If he said he was not envious, he would be lying.
The group of people haven't reached the door of the house yet.
I saw a group of officers pulling a donkey cart coming from a distance.
When everyone saw the car, they immediately hid far away, for fear of getting into any bad luck.
I saw corpses piled up into a hill on the cart, and blood spilled out from the cracks in the cart, leaving a long trail of blood on the street.
"Oh, it's so miserable."
The onlookers all sighed when they saw this.
An uninformed person asked what happened, only to hear the other person say: "You don't know, last night, the Hong Family Boxing Gym behind Dashilar was massacred!"
