Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 139: Picking a Fresh Business
The gravel was mixed with black liquid and splashed down, immediately corroding and polluting the surrounding ground when it landed on the ground.

Even Tiger did not dare to take it head-on at this moment. The fire stick in his hand danced with green and red flames to protect his body.

"Dad, stop hitting me and go back quickly!!"

Master Wang leaned against the door of the hall. This was not the result he had expected. He then looked at Tiger and said, "Give the pearl back to me!"

Faced with Mr. Wang's urging, Lao Hu almost cursed in his heart, but he had no idea. The bastard Niupi didn't show up, which clearly showed that he was determined to do something bad.

Thinking of this, the tiger gritted his teeth and became ruthless.

"Niupi, if you don't come out, we're all doomed!"

As he spoke, he rolled up the long stick in his hand and opened his mouth to spit out green and red flames. The flames rolled along the stick and turned into a fireball in a moment.

When Xiao Ran saw this, he immediately had a bad feeling and jumped out of the rockery and ran towards the pool.

He jumped out with one foot, and the next moment he heard the roar of a tiger in the air: "Qinghong breaks the universe with one breath!"

With a long whistle, the long stick rolled up green and red flames and smashed down to the ground.

"boom!!"

Instantly a three-meter-high flame exploded on the ground. Before Xiao Ran could jump into the pond, he felt a piercing chill on his back, followed by a pungent burnt smell.

"Kakaka..."

At the critical moment of life and death, Xiao Ran did not dare to hold back any longer. He crushed the five speed talismans with one hand, and his speed increased dramatically. Then he jumped into the pond with a dive.

"Gudong!" A sound of splashing water surface, and water droplets were frozen into ice before they fell, and then evaporated quickly.

"Zizzizi..."

As soon as the flames died down, the front yard of Wang's house was full of devastation. Even the evil spirits were injured or dead, and the water level in the entire pond had evaporated by more than half.

"Whirring whirring……"

With heavy breathing, Tiger held the stick in one hand. The mask on his face had been taken off. His whole face was so thin that it was almost unrecognizable. There were thick dark circles under his eyes and his lips were pale.

He looks just like a fool who just walked out of a brothel.

In contrast, the old man from the Wang family in front of him had half of his body burnt off, and he stood there motionless, looking as if he had suffered a serious injury.

But if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the burnt flesh on Old Master Wang's body is already falling off on its own, and it will obviously recover soon.

In a corner of the front hall, the big-headed monk clasped his hands together and did not move from beginning to end.

However, Niu Yan and Niu Tui, who were rolled into the cassock, couldn't help but gasp.

They were all E-level professionals, and they had seen some D-level masters, but it was rare to find someone as powerful as Tiger.

No wonder the Changchun Association is getting stronger and stronger. In recent years, even the company has been turning a blind eye. The masters inside are all like this. In the future, the Mystery City will be dominated by the Changchun Association.

Xiao Ran emerged from the water and climbed up the rockery. He glanced at Old Master Wang and then at the tiger, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

Especially Tiger, this guy was panting like a buffalo, but when Xiao Ran tentatively approached him, the black swan on his chest would send out a bone-chilling chill to warn him. Obviously at this point, Tiger was not at the end of his rope and must have a backup plan.

Just when Xiao Ran was hesitating whether to leave or stay, the voice of Yinshan Taoist suddenly came to his ears.

"Fox, this show has just begun, you can't run away."

"Yinshan Taoist!"

Xiao Ran was shocked and the hairs on his body stood up uncontrollably. Suddenly, he felt an itchy sensation on his back. Then he saw the red-headed centipede crawling out from his collar and biting Xiao Ran's neck.

Immediately afterwards, a number of sharp claws pierced directly into Xiao Ran's flesh.

In an instant, Xiao Ran was unable to move.

"Oh no, how could I forget about this thing!" Xiao Ran's body was stiff, his limbs trembling along with the centipede's long tentacles, and his body moved along like a puppet.

The centipede did not harm his life, but Xiao Ran lost control of his body. Following the rhythm of the centipede's tentacles shaking, he walked towards the front hall step by step under the gaze of everyone.

The red-headed centipede's long whiskers swayed, and the voice of the Yinshan Taoist was heard.

"I accepted the invitation from the Wang family to appreciate the rare treasures together, but I didn't expect something unexpected to happen and I had to send my disciple to go on the journey in my place."

"Old thief!!"

Xiao Ran secretly cursed the old thief for being cunning. The old guy's so-called belief in purity was just a decoration, deliberately used to mislead him. No wonder he was so confident in letting him come to the Wang family. It turned out that he was waiting for him here.

As he was speaking, the voice of the Yinshan Taoist came to his ears: "Foxes, why don't you take out the treasures quickly?"

Xiao Ran had no choice but to take out the beads from the space.

"This is the so-called treasure of the Wang family. What a pity, what a pity, this bead is just a decoration. If we want to truly get rid of the evil spirit, we are still one step away."

Everyone looked at the beads in Xiao Ran's hand, then Xiao Ran suddenly pinched the beads and knocked them against the stone pier next to him.

"Crack!" The sound was like that of an eggshell breaking, making everyone's eyes widen.

A long and thin crack quickly spread from the orb until it spread over the entire orb like a spider web.

"you!!"

Seeing this scene, Mr. Wang's eyes turned red, and the old man of the Wang family's eyes were even wider, with a terrifying murderous intent surging from his body.

But after the Yinshan Taoist shook it gently, the cracks on the gem spread out like dust, and a faint golden light was pinched on Xiao Ran's fingertips.

Wherever the golden light shone, the resentment struggling in the surrounding black fog showed a look of relief and slowly dissipated.

Then he shone the golden light at the old man.

Old Master Wang's face suddenly showed a long-lost sense of relief. The resentment and hatred that had been accumulated in his body seemed to disappear at once, and even the injuries on his body seemed to have healed for the most part.

"This is the true appearance of this treasure. Without this treasure, I'm afraid you will die in a few years, and the Wang family will be in great trouble."

As he spoke, the Taoist of Yinshan controlled Xiao Ran and handed the particle sparkling with golden light to Master Wang.

"It's just that this thing has firewood but no lamp, so it can't be stored for long."

Master Wang held the golden light in his hands, with a fascinated look on his face. When he heard what the Taoist of Yinshan said, he couldn't help but raise his head and asked, "What do you mean, Taoist?"

"Haha, the meaning is very simple. This thing was originally ignited with the blood of your Wang family. It must be used as a lamp with the blood of your Wang family. Otherwise, the lamp will have no oil, so how can it last long? Haha, haha, stupid."

"Wang family bloodline..."

Mr. Wang's fingers trembled, and he suddenly saw the old man looking at him. His face changed immediately, and he asked hurriedly: "Is it okay as long as it is someone from the Wang family?" "No, no, it must be a blood relative of the Wang family. If you want to find someone else, that won't work."

After saying that, Yinshan Taoist changed the subject and said, "Second Master Wang is very suitable."

Hearing this, Mr. Wang's face changed and he quickly asked, "What would happen if I became a lantern bearer?"

"This... will never lead to reincarnation, and will not lead to a good death."

Hearing this, Master Wang almost threw the thing in his hand away, and instinctively called his brother: "Third brother, third brother..."

Unfortunately, the third master of the Wang family had long disappeared. Second Master Wang called out twice, but no one responded. Suddenly he remembered something, turned around and looked, his face suddenly lit up with joy: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, my niece, my dear niece, she should be OK."

As he spoke, Master Wang walked into the front hall, grabbed Mo Ju's hair, lifted her up, and saw that she was still alive. He immediately looked at Mo Ju with an ecstatic face: "Mo Ju, now that you are back, don't blame your uncle. You must make a contribution to the Wang family. In the future, your uncle will provide for you and give you everything you want."

Mo Ju's eyes widened, and for a moment, he looked back at Xiao Ran with a look of death. Although he couldn't speak, the corners of his lips slightly opened, as if he was saying two words: "Kill me."

Xiao Ran looked at Mo Ju's gaze and frowned for a moment, but his body was unable to move.

"Okay, okay, but are you sure? It would be a shame to turn such a beautiful doll into a lantern figurine."

"It's not a pity. What's there to be sad about? His father, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, and the Wang family's eldest branch are all dead. This girl is the only one left in their family. What's the point of living alone? It's better for her to become a lantern bearer and reunite with her family. Isn't that good?!"

As he spoke, Master Wang came to Xiao Ran holding Mo Ju. He held the golden light in one hand and grabbed Mo Ju with the other hand. He stared at Xiao Ran with red eyes, or rather, at the centipede on Xiao Ran's neck.

"Master, please help our family. From now on, we will give you half of our incense."

When Master Wang said this, Tiger standing behind him suddenly darkened his face and snorted in displeasure.

"This……"

The centipede's tentacles trembled, and after a moment, it said, "Your Wang family's affairs should be resolved by yourselves. I dare not get involved in this cause and effect."

"Yes, yes, please give me a prescription, Taoist priest."

"stupid!"

The centipede trembled its tentacles and began to sound impatient: "Just put this thing in her mouth and let her sit on the chair. This is the missing link in your Wang family. If you fill this link, the old man won't have to sit on the chair so hard."

"This……"

Master Wang scratched his head: "That chair?"

"Chairs are not meant for people to sit on. When she becomes a lamp person, she will bring blessings to your Wang family. The old man will no longer have to look like a ghost."

After saying that, Xiao Ran was forced to turn around, the centipede's tentacles trembling: "Or, Master Wang, do you still want to be like this, nailed to the chair, neither human nor ghost, neither god nor spirit?"

Old Master Wang's body trembled slightly, and it was obvious that these words touched the soft spot in his heart.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Master Wang nodded repeatedly, then looked at Mo Ju in his arms. No matter how Mo Ju tried to struggle, she was poisoned and unable to move. She was dragged by Master Wang onto the broken shrine chair.

"Cui Cui, go home, go home!"

As Master Wang spoke, he reached out and pried open Mo Ju's mouth, then stuffed the golden treasure in his hand into Mo Ju's mouth.

When that ray of golden light entered her mouth, Mo Cui couldn't help but began to twitch. Her skin and flesh began to be torn by the golden light, revealing light golden flames, and a cat-like scream came out of her mouth.

Everyone felt their scalps tingling as they watched this scene.

Even from a distance, one could feel the pain in Mo Cui's body, and even Ox Eyes and Ox Legs couldn't bear to watch it any further.

Xiao Ran closed his eyes and didn't want to watch any more. If he could move now, he wouldn't mind giving Mo Ju a knife.

Soon, the golden flames grew bigger and bigger, and a pale golden light flashed in the flames, causing those evil spirits to unconsciously come closer. Under the illumination of the golden flames, their expressions gradually began to become peaceful.

"Master Wang, why don't you take out all the incense in your house now?"

The Taoist of Yinshan spoke up and reminded Master Wang, who was awakened from his dream. He quickly asked someone to bring all the incense collected at home and threw them into the flames. Immediately, the flames grew bigger and bigger.

Gradually, the screams from inside could no longer be heard.

Mr. Wang II danced around the fire, shouting and jumping excitedly. As long as the flames faded and the lights took shape, their Wang family would be immortal! !
"brute!"

Xiao Ran looked at Master Wang's smug look and couldn't help cursing in his heart.

But at this moment, the voice of the Taoist priest from Yinshan came to my ears: "Human fox, don't you want to be a good person? But can you tell who is a good person and who is a bad person?"

Xiao Ran didn't understand what the Yinshan Taoist meant by saying this at this time.

His body trembled slightly, trying to break free from Yinshan Taoist's control, but he didn't expect that Yinshan Taoist would ask him, "Have you ever heard of the business of picking raw food?"

Xiao Ran was a little confused when he heard this, because he knew about this business.

The so-called picking something raw to eat is just a trick to deceive people.

For example, there was a person on the street, crying and begging for misery. This person was not a beggar. He just took out some medicinal herbs and said he was delivering medicine to someone. As a result, the other party broke the promise and left. He could not get the money and could not go back.

At this time, people gathered around to see what kind of medicinal herbs they were.

The other party will take out something that no one has ever seen before, called the purple gold fruit.

The color was like burnt iron beans.

At this time, an expert will come out and pick it up to take a look: "Hey, this is purple gold fruit, it is indeed a rare medicinal material, we don't have it here, but this thing is also called Sichuan lilac. My family used to send medicine to the palace, and I have seen this thing a lot. I can tell if it is real or not just by smelling it."

Then he explained to everyone how to identify this thing, broke it open and let everyone taste it. Different people had different tastes, which was very magical. When they heard about its efficacy and learned that it was a precious medicine provided to the palace, they all rushed to buy it.

In fact, this person is an accomplice, a top figure in the underworld, called "Babao". His responsibility is to tell people about the effects of this thing and guide them to buy it.

After buying them, I took them back to the drugstore and asked. The clerk took one look and asked how much they cost. You said they were not expensive, ten yuan for two. The clerk nodded and took out a big bag of identical fruits from the cabinet and said, "Ten yuan can buy this bag of fruits."

This is a common scam, but no one knows what the Yinshan Taoist means by bringing it up at this moment.

"Hehehehe, then tell me, if I'm the one who stole the bag, who's the leader of the group?"

Xiao Ran was not a fool. He could tell that the Taoist of Yinshan was pointing a finger at him, and his heart was excited.

If the Yinshan Taoist steals... then...

Xiao Ran looked towards the fire in front of him with a somewhat suspicious look. Through the fire, he vaguely saw Mo Ju inside, who seemed to be staring at him and smiling...

　There will be another update in the evening.
