Chapter 508: Cat Trick, Oil Lamp
Chapter 508: Cat Trick, Oil Lamp
"Senior brother."
Not long after, Lei Wujie pushed the door open and walked in.
Tang Lian and Sikong Qianluo were both there and did not go to their respective rooms.
"Junior brother, what's going on outside?"
After Lei Wujie came in, Tang Lian came to the door of the room. He first glanced outside the door and saw that it was quiet outside and there was no movement, so he closed the door.
Lei Wujie went out just now to investigate the authenticity of this inn, not to go to the toilet.
Lei Wujie shook his head.
"Big Brother, there's nothing unusual outside, and it looks no different. There are indeed a few people in the backyard, but they are all fast asleep."
Tang Lian and Sikong Qianluo narrowed their eyes. If that was the case, then it was indeed as Lei Wujie said. However, how could this result be possible without any abnormality?
"Brother, could it be that we are worrying too much?"
Lei Wujie scratched his hair, feeling a little confused. It was true that things in Qianlan City were not easy to deal with, but Qianlan City was Qianlan City and Yuelai Inn was Yuelai Inn. The two were not the same.
Tang Lian didn't say anything. He was sure that there was something wrong with this inn, but he couldn't tell exactly where.
"Brother, do you have that feeling too?"
Sikong Qianluo suddenly spoke up. The two of them had been wandering the world for much longer than Lei Wujie, and no matter the people or things they had met, they were not comparable to Lei Wujie.
The two of them could tell at a glance whether there was something wrong with a place. In their opinion, there must be something wrong with this inn.
Tang Lian nodded. He naturally believed in this sixth sense because he had been saved by it countless times.
"By the way, did you see that old man when you came back?"
Lei Wujie shook his head.
"When I came back, I was thinking about returning the lamp to him! I walked around the lobby but didn't see him."
Tang Lian frowned, then asked, "What about the back hall?"
Lei Wujie waved his hand.
"No, there is no light inside, it's pitch black. If I hadn't been holding an oil lamp in my hand, I wouldn't have been able to see clearly over there."
Tang Lian and Sikong Qianluo didn't know what they were thinking of. Their faces suddenly changed. Almost at the same time, they said in unison: "Oil lamp!!"
Lei Wujie was stunned. He hadn't figured out what this had to do with the oil lamp.
Tang Lian didn't wait for Lei Wujie to react and put her hand on his wrist. Born in the Tang Sect, she was naturally very proficient in poisons. All Tang Lian could think of was poison, and she used the burning oil lamp to evaporate the poison, so that no one could detect it.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Frightened by Tang Lian's actions, Lei Wujie began to get nervous.
"It's just a drug. The amount is not large, and most of it was burned by the burning internal energy in Lei Wujie's body. The remaining ones can no longer cause much impact."
Sikong Qianluo clenched her fists and said bitterly, "I should have discovered it earlier. That bastard seems to have had bad intentions for a long time."
Lei Wujie is still in the dark! Even though he knew there was something wrong with the oil lamp, he couldn't imagine why Tang Lian and Sikong Qianluo would think of this.
"Sister, how did you come up with this idea?"
Sikong Qianluo reached out and knocked on Lei Wujie's forehead, and said with some regret: "We have stayed in many inns along the way. When have you ever seen an inn give you an oil lamp when you go to the toilet?" Lei Wujie pinched his chin. After hearing what Sikong Qianluo said, he suddenly realized that he had stayed in so many inns, but this was the first time he was handed an oil lamp!
"Generally speaking, inns are equipped with toilets. If you want to use the toilet, you can go to the room. Of course, some inns don't have toilets, but they will prepare lanterns. As for men using the toilet, inns usually don't ask. Besides, there is a moon in the sky tonight, and the moonlight is enough to see the direction clearly. The old man acted thoughtfully, but he overlooked a fact: there is no need for oil lamps tonight."
After saying this, Tang Lian's eyes began to flicker. Since there was something wrong with this place and the other party had already taken action, they could no longer sit there and wait for death.
"Brother, what should we do next?"
Sikong Qianluo tightened the silver moon in his hand, his eyes showing coldness.
If they were ordinary people, they might have fallen into the trap of that old man, and at that time life and death would be just a thought away.
"In that case, why don't we take advantage of the situation and see what kind of ghosts this inn is hiding?"
"Do we need to go back to our own room?"
Tang Lian raised his hand, motioning the two to wait, and then he checked the oil lamps in the house. Since the other party was intent on murdering him, he would not target Lei Wujie alone. The oil lamps in their house might have been tampered with as well.
After an examination, Tang Lian's face turned ugly.
"Sure enough, the oil lamps here have also been tampered with."
After saying that, Tang Lian took out three pills from his arms, then handed one to Sikong Qianluo and Lei Wujie respectively, and swallowed the remaining one himself.
"This is a detoxification pill specially made by the Tang Sect. It will last for six hours. We don't need to go anywhere else. It will be more convincing if we stay here. We will pretend to faint later. I want to see what these people are planning to do."
The two nodded in succession, and about an incense stick of time passed, there was another knock on the door.
"Young man, do you want to soak your feet? We have boiled hot water in the store."
Tang Lian nodded to Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo, and the two of them slowly lay down on the table, pretending to be knocked unconscious.
"Young man?"
There were two more knocks on the door, but the three of them still did not move. The next moment, the door of the room was opened from the outside.
"Come up! You've been drugged!"
The person who spoke was the old man at the beginning, but this time, the old man's voice became a little fierce.
"I don't know where this rookie came from, but he actually dared to draw his sword. Today, I will show you what it means to respect the elderly and love the young!!"
As he finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the door.
"Hey! Old Beard, there's a little beauty here!!"
"I usually see a lot of men when I'm out and about, but this woman is really rare. Judging from her appearance, she must be a virgin!!"
"It was during these few days that there was a ghost in Qianlan City, and the government officials were scared and didn't dare to come out. Otherwise, how could such a good thing happen to us brothers?"
From the sound, there were three people, plus the old man at the beginning, a total of four people, and they started talking about dirty things in a hurry.
"Okay, hold on tight!"
"Send the men to the Hulu Temple in exchange for silver, and we'll keep the woman for ourselves. From the looks of it, they know some Kung Fu, so be careful and use the tendon softening powder first, so that they don't wake up and cause trouble for us later!!"
