Hearing what Jiang Lin said, the little pangolin bared its teeth and glared at Jiang Lin: "I kindly reminded you, but you did this to me!"
"Hahaha..." Jiang Lin smiled, stopped teasing the little guy, and then asked solemnly: "Let me not ask you why you can speak. What is the monster you just talked about?"
"Tell you if you can let me go?" The little pangolin's voice sounded like a timid little girl, which made people feel pity.
Jiang Lin thought for a while, and then nodded solemnly. After receiving Jiang Lin's affirmation, the little pangolin pointed not far away and said, "There is a flower demon over there. Some of you here will be tricked by the flower demon every night." Hook away."
"How did you find it?" Jiang Lin looked at it in surprise.
"I can smell the smell of urine on the flower demon. It's very unpleasant. I can smell it all the time these days. It seems it's not far from here." The little pangolin looked like he knew everything.
Jiang Lin glanced at it and said, "Okay, I'll take a look tonight. If it's true, I'll find an opportunity to let you go on the way."
"good!"
late at night
After the strange things that happened in the past few days, one-fifth of the people were responsible for patrolling at night. If there was any slight movement, they would never escape the eyes of these people.
Jiang Lin leaned on the horse and carriage next to the little pangolin, closing his eyes to rest. He looked like he had fallen asleep, but in fact he was observing his surroundings.
At this time, the little pangolin stretched out its claws and scratched the corner of Jiang Lin's clothes: "Quick, the flower demon is starting to attack!"
Jiang Lin opened his eyes and didn't find anything unusual. But if he looked carefully, he saw that one of the patrolling guards seemed to be a little stiff and walked away step by step. If he didn't pay attention, he would have thought he was patrolling.
Jiang Lin raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, picked up a stone on the ground, used his fingers to pop it out, and hit the man's sword, causing a crisp metal sound.
The sound was not loud, but it was particularly harsh in the silent night, and everyone woke up for a while.
"Brother Miao, where are you going?" someone asked.
But the man continued to move forward uncontrollably, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Liu Yuan reacted quickly. He rushed over and stretched out his hand to pull him back. Seeing his expressionless face and distracted eyes, he immediately understood what was going on.
After knocking the man unconscious with one punch, he called on a few people to pick up a few bamboo tubes from the carriage and led them into the forest.
After a while, there were roars and vibrations in the mountains and forests, and fire splashed everywhere. After a while, the fire spread rapidly.
Many people looked around with caution. At this time, Wang Lin came over and said with a serious expression: "That person seems to be under an illusion."
Jiang Lin nodded, pointed at the fainted person and said, "But why was he the only one who was affected by the illusion, and we were fine?"
"Young master, you don't know something. Illusion is the most mysterious magical power in Taoism. It is colorless, tasteless and invisible. Maybe the face-to-face conversation between you and me is just an illusion."
Just as Jiang Lin was about to answer the call, Liu Yuan had already returned with his men, but he didn't look particularly good, as if he had suffered a loss.
After Liu Yuan arranged for the unconscious man, he ordered a subordinate next to him: "Brothers, please be careful tonight. I was hit in the palm just now and was blasted by thunder and fire. I think he won't come back again."
"Don't worry, brother, I'll be careful." The man nodded and said solemnly.
After the arrangements were made, Liu Yuan cleared his throat and said to everyone: "Brothers, the matter is clear. It is two flower demons who do not know whether to live or die. They have been repelled just now. Everyone has been on tenterhooks for so many days. Tonight You can have a peaceful sleep now.”
When they heard that it was a flower demon, many people relaxed a lot, because this kind of grass and tree spirits are relatively common and generally do not actively attack people. Even if these spirits are harmful to people, they have no such ability, except for illusions and blindfolding. He can also deceive people, but he has almost no ability to hurt others.
These words indeed had a soothing effect, and everyone was no longer so nervous. However, Jiang Lin and Wang Lin did not think so, but they did not point it out, but they were more cautious.
After everyone took a rest, Jiang Lin asked the little pangolin in the cage: "Besides the flower demon, what else do you know?"
"Tree spirits. How dare a few flower demons attack so many of you, unless they are crazy. There have been tree spirits following you these past two days, but they have been hiding very well, so they have not been discovered."
"You always knew, right?" Jiang Lin felt a little incredible that this little thing that looked like a pangolin knew so much.
"Of course, these grass and tree monsters must have a plan. Maybe I can take the opportunity to escape by then. Okay, I have said what I need to say. Is it time to let me go?" The little pangolin looked at Jiang without blinking. Lin, for fear that Jiang Lin would regret it.
"Of course." Jiang Lin took out a key from his sleeve. He got it from the manager. With his proficiency in repelling and controlling objects, it was very easy to get a key without the other party noticing. of.
After unlocking the door, the little pangolin still couldn't believe it. The man actually let him go without any hesitation.
"Are you really going to let me go?" the little pangolin cautiously climbed out of the cage and asked with some uncertainty.
"Since I said it, it must count." Jiang Lin felt that this little guy was a bit cute and couldn't help but smile.
The little pangolin ran away and disappeared in the vast forest in the blink of an eye. Jiang Lin threw the key far away and rested against the carriage.
next day
After a little preparation, Jiang Lin and his party started on the road again. After knowing that it was the flower demon, everyone no longer worried and the speed was much faster. The people who were unconscious last night also woke up and there was no problem.
But when we had just walked not far, the weather was not beautiful, and it suddenly started to rain. We had no choice but to stop and hide from the rain. Many people began to build simple sheds, and some people made fires to ward off the cold. Boil water in a large pot to make tea.
Jiang Lin stayed in the corner and watched everyone busy, but there was always only one person in his eyes.
That is Xu Shijie in blue clothes.
Xu Shijie was busy lighting fires and boiling water with a group of people, looking familiar.
Jiang Lin and the others seemed a little out of place. These days, most people couldn't remember who was who, and they were like outsiders.
At this time, the water had been boiled, and some people asked the steward to bring out some good tea for everyone to try. The steward couldn't stand the crowd, so he took out a bag of high-quality fragrant tea. After brewing, the fragrance of tea overflowed, and many people He kept praising the good tea.
But at this time, Jiang Lin stood up and walked towards them. Wang Lin next to him was stunned and asked: "Master, what are you doing?"
"Come on, little brother, have a bowl of tea to warm yourself up." A guard saw Jiang Lin coming and invited him politely.
But after Jiang Lin came over, under everyone's shocked eyes, he kicked over the big pot and the freshly brewed tea.
"Bastard, what are you doing!" The more grumpy one immediately pulled out his saber, showing his fierceness.
And this is when Wang Lin drew her sword and pointed at this person, saying coldly: "Put your guy down, or I will move your head."
The situation was tense for a moment, and the man in charge quickly tried to persuade me: "Look, what's going on? Why did you start taking action?"
Xu Shijie looked at Jiang Lin and asked with the same puzzlement: "Brother Jiang, what are you doing? Everyone wants to drink water, why do you kick it over?"
Jiang Lin spread his hands with an innocent face and said, "What to do, of course, is to save them. Will they survive tonight after drinking your water?"
This sentence shocked everyone present. Some people looked at the tea bowl in their hands, threw it on the ground, and looked at the man in blue in surprise.
"Brother Jiang, let's talk about it. I boiled water and made tea for my brothers with good intentions, but you said I poisoned you?" Xu Shijie snorted coldly, as if he was angry after being wronged.
At this time, Liu Yuan realized that the atmosphere here was not right and came over. After hearing what happened, he narrowed his eyes, looked at Jiang Lin and asked, "How do you know he poisoned him?"
Liu Yuan picked up a bowl of tea and put it to his nose and smelled it. It was colorless and odorless, and it didn't look like there was anything wrong with it.
However, before Jiang Lin could say anything, Xu Shijie took the tea bowl from Liu Yuan's hand, drank it in one gulp, then slammed the bowl to the ground, and glared at Jiang Lin: "Do you believe it now! What if I Would you be stupid enough to do it in front of so many people?"
After draining a bowl of water in one gulp, everyone turned their eyes to Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin stepped forward and stretched out his hand to reach his face. The speed was staggering.
Xu Shijie didn't expect that Jiang Lin would suddenly get angry in front of so many people. When he pulled back, he quickly shouted: "Brother Liu, don't you care about this!"
However, Jiang Lin's killing move was fake, but the retrieval was real. He stretched out his hand and pulled off his sleeve, then stopped and said unhurriedly: "This water is definitely non-toxic, but it is definitely harmful. After drinking it, at night If you cooperate with the Flower Demon again, won't we all become your victims?"
With that said, Jiang Lin handed the sleeve to Liu Yuan. The latter took it and took a look and found that the sleeve was sewn in several layers, and each layer was stained with a lot of white powder. If you accidentally put the sleeve on when boiling water, If he dips his sleeve in it, no one will doubt him.
Liu Yuan is an old man who has been around for many years. He doesn't need to say anything. He naturally understands everything. He glanced at the man in blue and said in a deep voice: "Explain it and I will make it happy for you."
