Chapter 190: Beijing Suburbs Funeral Palace (28)

"Do you smell anything?"

Late at night, at Deqingban B&B, the heavy rain turned into a continuous drizzle, and the entire antique building seemed particularly quiet amidst the sound of rustling rain.

But in fact, there is an undercurrent in the B&B, and no one can sleep tonight.

"I smell it too, it smells really good."

Augustus was sitting by the window and heard two squirrels whispering outside the window. His wolf ears twitched, he folded his arms impatiently, and his breath was restrained, without even disturbing the two squirrels.

His eyes fell on the window of the opposite room.

The entire inner courtyard of Deqingban B&B is a "kou"-shaped building. Tourists and tour guides live on opposite sides, with a patio in the middle. Augustus was looking at the window of the devil's merchant.

Mia was the first to discover that the Devil Merchant had hallucinations. She said she saw a translucent little girl sleeping on the Devil Merchant's window, but she disappeared after taking a closer look. Augustus originally thought it was some ghost thing raised by a devil merchant, so he didn't pay much attention.

But then the Devil Merchant came seriously to see him, and Augustus realized that this was actually the Devil Merchant's illusion!

"Naive, huh."

Augustus complained and snorted, which immediately scared away the two squirrels. If they werewolves hadn't wanted to recruit the devil businessman, he would not have given the devil businessman face and would have crushed the phantom little girl to death.

However, although he promised not to act on the vision immediately, Augustus also kept an eye on the devil merchant's room. If there were any visions tonight, he would not show mercy.

Although this level of illusion cannot affect him, Mia and the others are still quite weak after all, and Augustus has to take some responsibility.

Of course, Augustus also had his own little idea of ​​not killing the illusion. If the negative state of lethargy is used well... it can be of great use.

"Hey Mia, is there anything left to eat?"

Augustus sniffed, those two squirrels were right, they did smell good. The aroma was actually very light and faint, but the werewolf had a keen sense of smell, and Augustus felt hungry after smelling it.

However, the scent was more like that of some kind of plant. As a pure carnivore, Augustus was not too interested. Instead, he became vigilant. He called Mia and Orion over and ordered:

"Wearing a gas mask and suddenly smelling good in the middle of the night is definitely a problem."

"Um."

"Is it possible that Black Cat did it?"

Orion put on a gas mask specially made for werewolves and spoke in a deep voice.

"There are too many mutated beasts here. Some of them are very powerful. I can vaguely sense them."

Olena's combat ability is average, but he has good perception. I heard that he had a high chance of joining the brigade affiliated with the astrologer's brigade, but in an accident he became a werewolf.

Major brigades and tour guide alliances in the Western Region reject werewolves. After all, werewolves have blood poison and will be seriously affected by werewolves from the upper echelons. Just like the Werewolf Alliance, almost all werewolf guides take orders from the blood wolf Rex.

Moreover, werewolves pay attention to the group. Whether they are werewolf travelers or tour guides, they will eventually be more inclined to live together. Therefore, in the Western District, the brigade composed of werewolf travelers has a close relationship with the Werewolf Alliance. It is more like a united wolf pack that is united to the outside world. This is also the reason why Blood Wolf Rex is at the forefront even though he is not an S-class tour guide.

"Could you be more clear?"

"No."

Olena shook his head: "I can't resonate with the moon, and I can't perceive more detailed information."

"Oh, this damn rain."

Augustus complained: "They say this city is very dry in autumn. How come there is so much rain?"

From the beginning of the journey until now, there has not been a sunny day.

"We may be classified into the monster camp."

Mia said calmly: "After all, we are werewolves. In the division in the east, we are considered wolf demons. If Mekel takes action, the camps may be divided tonight."

"really."

Augustus was noncommittal. He did not reveal his identity as a 'monster'. After all, experienced travelers know that what a hotel loves to do most is to break up existing alliances and get them out of their comfort zones.

Among the Three Wolves of the West District, they cannot all be monsters, there are definitely also ‘human beings’. The only ‘demon’ identified by Augustus now is Mekel.

* *

"Tsk, tsk, how can Mekel, a cat, suppress so many old monsters in the mountains?"

The half-life Taoist was murmuring and sighing: "The fragrance of ginseng has risen, and the monsters are restless. How difficult it is."

"Deputy Commander, is this smell the scent of ginseng?"

"But why does the ginseng fragrance come out at this time?"

Bai Xiaotian opened the window and looked out. It was raining heavily. Through the rain curtain, Bai Xiaotian saw a knight-like woman wearing a bamboo hat standing with an umbrella in her arms, standing in the corner of the patio like a shadow.

"Take your head back, or the monster will eat your head!"

Half-life Taoist scolded, seeing Bai Xiaotian shrinking his head before answering the question he just asked: "Ginseng essence is a powerful collection of vitality. It grows in deep mountains and old forests, in cliffs and desperate places. When you come out now, you are definitely not far from the transformed spirit. ”

"The spiritual ginseng is cunning and pure. It can see a hint of the secret. Maybe it can see our arrival and change its current dangerous situation."

"So while we are in the same B&B with the monsters, we release ginseng incense to lure the monsters into a riot. By then, the big monsters will be rummaging around. If there is a conflict with us, they can lend us a hand. Get rid of the monsters...eh?"

Taoist Ban Ming was giving instructions with great energy, but suddenly he frowned and the tip of his nose moved.

"Huh? This is..."

"It's wrong, it's wrong."

Taoist Ban Ming couldn't help but stand up and pace around the room, counting with his right hand.

"This ginseng fragrance...isn't right."

* *

"Sir, it's ginseng incense, this is ginseng incense!"

In Mekel's room, a group of small and medium-sized demons were chattering and extremely excited.

"What's the fuss about?"

The six-tailed civet cat meowed impatiently, and the little demons headed by Qing Qi immediately fell silent.

Ever since they saw the six-tailed raccoon spirit entering Tianhu's territory and still coming out alive, Mekel's image has been infinitely higher in their hearts, and the weight of his words has increased. Qing Qi made up his mind to follow him on the spot, and said that there were familiar demons he knew on Xiaotang Mountain, and if Mekel wanted to go to Xiaotang Mountain, he could help introduce them.

But no matter what, Xiaotangshan is tomorrow. Who would have thought that ginseng would come out tonight? Qing Qi was so excited that he hissed:

"Sir, this opportunity must not be missed, it will never come back again!"

"Yes, sir, when the ginseng comes out, the other adults will definitely take action tonight. We have to seize the opportunity first!"

"Spiritual ginseng is the best at hiding. There is definitely a purpose behind distributing the ginseng fragrance. Adults should be more careful!"

"Okay, what are you in a hurry for?"

Meikeer meowed, pretending to be proud: "Don't you think there's something weird about this ginseng fragrance?"

"eccentric?"

The little demons looked at each other and sniffed hard, but they didn't find anything weird about the ginseng fragrance.

"This ginseng...cannot heal wounds."

Only Qing Qi hissed gloomily.

His eyes were burned by the Samadhi True Fire. It seemed that the injury was not serious, but it was very difficult to completely cure it, and a miraculous medicine was needed.

He was also very excited when he first smelled the scent of ginseng. Legend has it that ginseng can bring the dead to life, remove their flesh and bones, and detoxify them. Even just a whiff of ginseng fragrance can heal people's injuries - but his eyes have not healed after smelling ginseng fragrance for so long!

Master Li Huajing said that the ginseng fragrance is weird. Could it be related to this?

"That's right."

Mekel gave him an approving look.

"Is the ginseng incense fake?"

The other little monsters were immediately disappointed. I thought I couldn't see the ginseng, but I could smell the aroma, but was the aroma also fake?

"idiot!"

Mekel whipped out the little demon who had just spoken with his tail, and scolded: "Can ginseng incense be fake? Can you show me the fake thing?"

"Or you? Can you fake it?"

The little demon who was pulled out rolled over and covered his face in fear. The other little demons also said something about "Sir, please calm down" in panic, which at least calmed Mekel down.

"Everyone is so stupid, Qing Qi, tell me."

Qing Qi, who was named again, actually knew something in his mind just now, but he didn't dare to say it. It is not good for a demon to act too smart. But now that he was called out, he could no longer pretend to be stupid and considered:

"As the adults said, this ginseng incense is real. But there is no energy in the ginseng incense. Maybe it was absorbed by someone? My knowledge is shallow, so I wonder if this is possible."

Hearing what Qing Qi said, the other fairies secretly laughed. How can there be a reason why the ginseng fragrance is still there but the energy has been absorbed?

This Bamboo Leaf Green will definitely be slapped in the face by the civet spirit later——

"You're right."

Mekel nodded and looked at the snake spirit with a smile. He's quite smart, and the key is that he can answer conversations. Mekel is quite satisfied with him.

He said meaningfully: "One whisker of spiritual ginseng... can make flesh and white bones."

Mekel's words were vague, but all the little demons, including Qing Qi, vaguely understood something.

Qing Qi suddenly understood and understood. Spiritual ginseng, ginseng fragrance, the energy is absorbed by someone, the ginseng must be able to make flesh and bones - the six-tailed raccoon flower essence is definitely the sky fox! Otherwise, how could Li Huajing know so clearly about such a secret matter?

If he could come back alive from Tianhu, he might have a good relationship with Tianhu. The fox was seriously injured that day. If it caught Lingshen - no, not necessarily. Lingshen is best at hiding, and the seriously injured Tianhu might not be able to find it.

Qing Qi frowned, thinking hard, and suddenly his heart moved.

So, does that mean that it is possible——

* *

"You mean, that Spirit Ginseng showed up on his own initiative and wanted to join forces with Tianhu?"

In a remote room at Deqingban B&B, Xiao Hu San was lying on the ground shivering, his red hair messy. He was caught while spreading the news... Well, this was actually expected. It was normal to be caught. After all, their goal was to lure out the big monsters.

Xiao Hu San believed that as long as his ancestors were around, he would not die. Of course, the most important thing is that he is also a candidate for Mr. Hu San. He has connections with humans. Those old monsters usually won't kill monsters like him.

But under the pressure of the opponent's evil spirit, Xiao Hu San couldn't stand up at all.

"Yes, yes, spiritual ginseng can heal our ancestors' injuries."

Red Fox reluctantly raised his head and threatened: "The power of our ancestors is boundless, you'd better retreat quickly——"

Snapped!

Red Fox's mouth was tied up with a piece of emerald green rattan and he was beaten severely.

"Quack."

The man said casually, thoughtfully, and said hoarsely: "That's right, Tianhu is different from us, and can also be regarded as a purely spiritual creature. If Lingshen really needs someone to cooperate, he will indeed go to him."

"If Tianhu really recovers his strength, we should just go back home."

Another voice said strangely.

"Don't worry, I haven't recovered my strength yet."

The man said slowly and calmly: "If you want to completely cure the injured Tianhu, this moment of effort is not enough. Judging from the ginseng fragrance, I'm afraid this spiritual ginseng only uses one ginseng whisker."

It was impossible for Xiao Hu San to know about something of this level. This person was not asking him, but was talking to himself to sort out his thoughts:

"Lingshen heals Tianhu's wounds, but it releases its fragrance in such a big way. I'm afraid it also wants to scare us away."

"Brother Huang is right. If Lingshen can cure Tianhu and they join forces, we will never be able to do it again."

"tonight?"

A cold female voice spoke.

"Tonight, a quick victory."

"This red fox is not easy to kill. After all, it is related to the human race."

The man chuckled lightly and picked up the back of the red fox's neck: "Why don't you take it to the battlefield? It will also give you a chance to see the style of your ancestors up close."

* *

"call--"

Zhou Xiyang opened his eyes, and a dark fire flickered in his black eyes.

Mekel 'rebelled', and only Zhou Xiyang was left in their family. At this moment, he was sitting in the room, holding a gun in his hanging left hand, and holding a long baton in his right hand casually resting on his knee.

Behind Zhou Xiyang is a coffin covered with a layer of white paper. There was no light on in the room, and it was completely dark. Only the light from outside occasionally shone in, making the tattered gray-white paper flow down the coffin, making it particularly permeable.

"call--"

The cold wind and rain blew into the house, bringing a refreshing fragrance. This aroma is neither sweet nor greasy, and is extremely refreshing, like the purest herbal fragrance. It makes people feel refreshed and clear-headed as soon as they smell it.

The sunset fire in Yuyuan flashed by, but the fragrance did not dissipate. This fragrance was not an illusion, and there was no danger.

In the darkness, Zhou Xiyang quietly sniffed the fragrance, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes. How long ago it was, things in the past seemed to be buried by time, but at this moment, they all surged forward like a wave, and scenes from the past came to mind, even Zhou Xiyang lost his mind for a moment.

Then he immediately became alert.

Da Tong has been dead for almost ten years, and the only people who can still use this fragrance are the returnees, and they have to be the old returnees, Yu Hehui's generation. Yes, this ginseng fragrance was most likely created by Yu Hehui!

Zhou Xiyang became anxious.

The incense of ginseng will definitely cause monster riots in the B&B, and even the old monsters who are standing still will be attracted out! Yu Hehui, no, Bing250, what on earth does he want to do? !

"boom!"

There was a gunshot, and the fire went out. The white smoke from the gun in Zhou Xiyang's hand had not dispersed, and a shadow figure as thin as cicada wings fell limply behind the coffin. No one noticed when the shadow figure appeared, and similarly, no one could see clearly when Zhou Xiyang turned around and raised his hand to shoot.

His shooting skills were extremely accurate, and this shot penetrated the shadow puppet man's head!

But the brightly colored shadow puppet head did not burn, but melted like wax when exposed to heat! The air was suddenly filled with stale, sweet and colorful smoke, which was similar to miasma and contained highly poisonous gas!

But before the smoke drifted away, it was dispersed by the ginseng incense.

The fragrance of ginseng can detoxify and remove evil spirits from entering the body, which is exactly what it helps. But Zhou Xiyang's face was still solemn.

There were shadow puppets appearing, and the situation was more serious than he imagined!

"Devil Merchant——"

Zhou Xiyang gritted his teeth. It would be okay if only monsters attacked him secretly. After all, Mekel was among them. Zhou Xiyang asked Taoist Taoist Half Life to take care of the coffin temporarily, while he went to be ready to help Bing 250 at any time.

But now the shadow puppets appear, which means that even before they arrive at the Yangshou Town Funeral Palace, the Devil Merchant's leader has already started to take the assessment!

He must guard this coffin!

With a slight movement in his heart, Zhou Xiyang suddenly stood up and swept the baton, completely destroying the window and wall facing the patio. Half of the wall was gone, and the cold wind blew in with heavy rain. The rain outside became even heavier, and the strong wind blew up pieces of white rain curtains.

Without this wall, Zhou Xiyang could clearly see the scene in the patio. It was a little spiritual connection with Bing250 that made him aware of it!

In the heavy rain, one person and one fox stood in the middle of the patio.

"Boom!"

Thunder pierced the sky, and bright lightning pierced the sky like a long snake, reflecting the pale earth!

The pale center Wei Xun turned around keenly and saw a small gray face printed on the window of the devil merchant's room. His closed eyes were slightly opened, as if he was looking at him.

"Hi."

Wei Xun was still in the mood to say hello to her.

"Hello."

That's right, not only was this little gray face behind the window, Wei Xun also saw countless yellow-brown human-shaped shadow puppets squeezing and clinging to each other behind the window, blood-like red seeping down, which was horrifying and strange.

"Something happened to the devil merchant."

Wei Xun was very interested: "Interesting, his little illusion seems to be about to riot."

Judging from the way the devil businessman defended 'Eve', we knew that they must have had a good relationship during his lifetime. Now that the Devil Merchant is surrounded by shadow puppets for some unknown reason, Phantom Eve will most likely come to 'help'.

"yawn."

Wei Xun yawned, feeling a little sleepy, and said to himself: "The wider your eyes open, the more sleepy you will feel?"

When Eve closed her eyes completely before, Wei Xun felt nothing. Now that she opened her eyes slightly, Wei Xun felt sleepy.

"careful."

Yu Hehui, whose whole body was exuding the scent of ginseng and carefully observing his surroundings, warned: "You can't fall asleep."

After a while, the punishment from heaven came, and it would be the end if Wei Xun fell asleep.

"rest assured."

Wei Xun smiled and said: "I am a hundred times more energetic."

[Point Seven: Focus]

[Before a gambler loses his last penny, he will always focus on the game and will never be disturbed by the outside world! 】

The new points of the gambler's dice are seven to ten, and each point has a special function. But it is extremely difficult to throw it. Wei Xun tried many times and spent a lot of blood and flesh, but most of them can only throw points from one to six.

When he threw this seven, he not only wore the necklace that turned into luck, but also used a lucky charm of Mao Xiaole.

‘How long can your ginseng incense last? ’

‘It can last at least an hour. ’

Yu Hehui and Wei Xun had a private chat: ‘After all, this bottle of fake ginseng incense has been stored for ten years, and it is good that it can still work. ’

Wei Xun told Mei Keer before that he wanted him to find a way to lure out all the old monsters. But it was Yu Hehui who came up with a solution. These old monsters in the deep mountains came for the spiritual ginseng. If you want to lure them out, you must have something related to the spiritual ginseng.

Yu Hehui happened to have a bottle of ginseng incense.

This is his ‘relics’, and he helped Yu Hehui keep it as a souvenir on the way back. Now that Yu Hehui is alive, she gave all these things to him on her way back.

"Tong Hege is from the Northeast, and his ancestors were ginseng collectors. This ginseng incense is used to lure the spiritual ginseng, and it can also soothe my demon nature."
