Being knocked down by the Heavenly Dao while ascending

At this moment, a person slowly stopped on the stairs, looking down as if looking for something.
The waiter shuddered when he saw this man. He put on a standard smile and went up the stairs to greet him. "Master cultivator, what can I do for you?"

"My eldest brother has gone out. He will take a bath when he comes back. Go and prepare some water. The water must be from Yuhe River in Quan County, and the bathtub must be made by Mr. Qian from Jinxia Pavilion."

The waiter broke out in a cold sweat, "This... this thing may not be obtained even if the owner goes there, Master Cultivator!"

Mei Shuyu said "Hmm?", "That's your problem." As he spoke, he seemed to be unwell. He suddenly pressed his right hand on his collarbone, his face turned pale, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and then he started coughing.

It actually scared the waiter.
Xiao Er Xu was kindhearted. Even though he had just been troubled, he still asked anxiously when he saw his sudden illness: "Master Xiuzhe, are you okay——"

Before he could finish his words, he was pulled away by someone who said, "Be careful, he can't touch you."

The waiter looked over hastily and saw that the person who came was the dark-faced woman. He asked, "Master cultivator, do you have anything to tell me?"

"No, I'm looking for revenge on him!" The black-faced woman flicked the waiter down the stairs.

The boy in the corner looked at the black-faced woman with longing eyes, regardless of his parents' attempts to stop him.

On the stairs, the black-faced woman and Mei Shuyu stood there.

After the waiter stood firm, he looked up at Mei Shuyu and became anxious, "Seeking...seeking revenge? This store can't stand it!"

The dark-faced woman smiled brightly, "It's okay, we won't fight."

"Ah?" The waiter's expression clearly said - how can cultivators seeking revenge not fight?
The dark-faced woman pointed at Mei Shuyu and said, "You know this guy's temper. If he could move now, I would have been beaten several times."

The waiter's eyes flashed with worry, "This, harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth."

"I want to, too." The dark-faced woman said, "It's just that this man made a big mistake not long ago. He kidnapped my master. Our sect is petty and we will take revenge."

"This..." The waiter was probably really worried that the two would fight, and he looked at Mei Shuyu frequently. Seeing that Mei Shuyu didn't move for a long time, his expression became more and more painful.
He also became anxious.

"It's a pity that our sect is not very good at fighting, so we can only use some unpresentable methods." The dark-faced girl kept it a secret, "For example, detonating the undercurrent in the body, injecting some poison that specifically targets the meridians. Although it's not as satisfying as hitting someone directly, but... at least it's one for one, it's not a loss!"

The waiter moved the towel from his left shoulder to his right shoulder and took it off to wipe the sweat off his face.
At this time, someone upstairs secretly left the inn.
The waiter put the towel back on his left shoulder and asked, "What do you mean one for one?"

"My master replaced him. At that time, it seemed that my master was at a disadvantage and was tied up. What a pity, he was also poisoned. Hehe, he didn't have much time to live."
The dark-faced woman counted on her fingers and said, "Calculate the time. It's about this time. I can probably live for... um, about half an hour."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mei Shuyu seemed to be unsteady on his feet, swaying as if he was about to fall. He barely held onto the handrail of the stairs to steady himself, still saying, "You...you..."

The black-faced woman looked like she was asking for a beating. “Don’t worry, although we are vindictive, we have good intentions. I will make you go away in peace.”
After saying that, she turned her wrist and a dagger appeared in her hand. She immediately stepped forward, rushed behind Mei Shuyu, and put the blade on his neck.

Mei Shuyu stood there the whole time, seemingly unable to move anymore.

The black-faced woman muttered, "Should I cut your throat first? Or should I cut off one of your ears first? I heard that pig ears are delicious, and human ears might be not bad too?" At this point, she licked her lips cooperatively, making a "slurping" sound.

Mei Shuyu immediately got goose bumps on the back of his neck!

The black-faced woman, Fang Qing, held back her laughter. For the first time, she felt that their script, which even elementary school students could not fool, was truly amazing!
If he could really deceive Shang Nanyi, then Shang Nanyi's IQ would be at the kindergarten level, hahahaha!
Even if he didn't succeed in deceiving people, he could still disgust Mei Shuyu! He would be able to scare people with murderous intent all day long!
Pei Mingyan must be her biological father!! He is so good to her!

Mei Shuyu also cooperated. Although he didn't tremble with fear, he suddenly covered his chest the next moment and spat out a mouthful of black blood!

Fang Qing was startled! He took a careful look and confirmed that he was fine. He breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help complaining: This guy is acting too hard.
Then she realized that she had underestimated Mei Shuyu's "ruthless" spirit.

The spat-out black blood fell on the stairs, leaving a big hole in the wooden board. However, the blood did not stop flowing and fell freely to the ground.
But the bluestone floor did not stop the blood from spreading. There was a huge pit several meters deep on the ground. Not only that, the poisonous blood was like a living thing, climbing up from the bottom of the pit, swimming along the cracks of the bluestone slabs, devouring the bluestone piece by piece, and corroding the corners of the tables and chairs. The tables and chairs fell to the ground, but in a moment, nothing was left. Many people in the hall on the first floor wanted to watch the excitement, but when they saw this situation, the family members and friends who had no cultivation left or hid in the corners, fearing that they would lose their lives accidentally.
The cultivators with some skills finally reacted and took action, drawing a dividing line on the ground to keep the poison out of the crowd.

Fang Qing swallowed and glanced at his hand holding the dagger.
Fortunately, I didn’t get any stain on it.
"Ahem." She coughed and continued, "Why are you spitting blood? You even demolished the inn. You're trying to hurt me. Forget it. I'll take you to see my master first. She's lonely, so I'll send you to sweep the floor and cook for her."
After saying this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and the dagger was about to cut Mei Shuyu's throat -

At this moment, a jade flute flew out from a room on the second floor and happened to hit the dagger, knocking it open.
The waiter should have been an ordinary person, but at this moment he had rushed to Mei Shuyu and stretched out one hand to Mei Shuyu's neck. It seemed that he wanted to snatch the blade with his bare hands.

Mei Shuyu and Fang Qingxin said: It’s done.

The moment Fang Qing dropped the dagger, he replaced it with a silver whip and wrapped it around Mei Shuyu's neck again. He glanced cautiously towards the second floor, "Fortunately, I had anticipated that there would be helpers, so I prepared a few more magic weapons."
After saying that, he asked as if he had just seen the waiter, "What are you doing? My magic weapon is also poisonous. Don't touch it lightly."

The waiter hid his hands behind his back in embarrassment and apologized repeatedly, "No, it's nothing. I just thought it would be bad to have someone die in the store, so I rushed over on impulse."

Fang Qing nodded, looking at the lower half of the stairs that had long disappeared. "The waiter is indeed a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, just like the monk who sweeps the floor. The ancients were right."
At the same time, he pulled Mei Shuyu back a few steps and stood firmly in the corridor on the second floor. "Don't do anything rash, otherwise my hands don't have eyes. If you scare me, I will get nervous and break my neck. That won't be fun."
The waiter also jumped down from the ruined staircase, "Okay, don't be impulsive, I'll go down right away."

Fang Qing threw out another piece of brocade and stopped the flying jade flute. "Oh? I thought, it's you. We are destined to be together, but it's not a good idea to take revenge on someone else at this time, right?"

This is definitely not a personal vendetta. If he really wanted revenge, he would have hurt her directly, not knocked the dagger away.
It turns out that this Yuxiao man is also Shang Nanyi’s man?
However, no sound came from the room where Yuxiao flew out of, and it seemed that she had left.
Fang Qing was just hesitating whether he should continue the performance when he heard a door on the second floor suddenly open.
She and Mei Shuyu glanced over calmly and saw that it was Pei Mingyan's door.

This is the signal for the end.

According to the "written" script, Mei Shuyu should have suddenly taken action and killed Fang Qing at this time.

Although Fang Qing had confidence in Mei Shuyu's cultivation, he still loosened the whip slightly.

However, not only did Mei Shuyu not take action, he even started bleeding from all seven orifices the next moment.

Fang Qing's hair, which couldn't be tied up, stood up in fear. Could something really have happened to Mei Shuyu?
She suppressed her worry and glanced up to the second floor.
Pei Mingyan didn't react and continued acting.
But how to act this out? She can't really cut off someone's ear, right?
Mei Shuyu sent her a message at this time - Big brother's guess is correct, keep forcing them to hurt me! Quick!

Fang Qing has eaten countless chickens, ducks, fish, pork and beef since he was a child, but he has never killed any large living creatures - mosquitoes are not counted.

Hearing this, she glanced at the whip. Good! She doesn't know how to use it.
She then recalled the dagger, closed her eyes and stabbed Mei Shuyu's arm. She didn't dare to look at the wound, and said to the deserted room on the second floor: "Since you want to be cowards, I have changed my mind. I will torture him and cut him into a hundred or eighty pieces."

Just at this moment, something unexpected happened!
As blood flowed out of the wound, the balance in Mei Shuyu's body seemed to be destroyed. Black gas rushed out of the wound, wrapped in suffocating air, dull and heavy.

Fang Qing took this opportunity to turn over and go downstairs, pointing at the black energy and shouting: "What did you practice?!"
The waiter hurriedly yelled to the people in the hall: "Get out of here! It's dangerous!"

The shopkeeper, who had been silent behind the counter, turned the wooden cylinder filled with room numbers on the counter.

The remaining cultivators who had wanted to watch the show were immediately frightened when they saw the black air clearly. They immediately ran away, even forgetting to use their magic.
There is no cultivator who doesn't know what this is, but they never thought that this black energy would be used by humans.
Absolute negative energy that cannot be absorbed, digested, or controlled.
If you can use this black energy, just a little bit of it can destroy the mountains and forests, and destroy yourself at the same time.

In the room on the second floor.
Pei Mingyan noticed that the inn was covered by a formation. It was not a killing formation, but a formation that interfered with the mind.
He relaxed his mental guard a little, and immediately felt that his memory of just a moment ago was beginning to fade.
——Mental suggestion.

In this way, it is a foregone conclusion that the Shu Yu incident is related to Shang Nanyi.
If I'm not mistaken, the person who sent Shu Yu to the Mei family must be Shang Nanyi without a doubt.

But there is still a problem. If this is true, although Shang Nanyi was slightly older than Mei Shanxue at that time, he was just a child under ten years old... How is this possible?
Could it be...Shang Nanyi also traveled through time?
However, he was a traveler in a book, and Fang Qing was the author of the book. Neither of them knew about Shu Yu, so how would Shang Nanyi know?

What's wrong?
