"Uh... how can this be possible?" The wine shop owner helped him fill up the tea cup tremblingly, but most of the cup spilled outside.
"That's fine. I don't want your five jars of wine either. Pack up the gifted wine for me and I'll take it back to drink."
The owner of the wine shop cried sadly: "This can't be done. We no longer have this wine in the store. If you want to drink it, you can only go elsewhere, or if the guest doesn't mind..."
At this time, Qin Bai raised his eyebrows. He felt something strange about the scholar in the distance, and immediately looked over. The scholar was drunk and lying on the table, disheveled.
There seemed to be insects crawling under the skin on his exposed spine, but in the blink of an eye there were no traces.
The scholar woke up, his eyes were red and he looked like he was hungover. After retching a few times, he stood up and staggered away.
The wine shop owner wanted to say something else, but Qin Bai quickly walked out of the shop, and the donkey followed him smartly.
Just when the wine shop owner was glad that the other party had left, he suddenly remembered that Qin Bai didn't pay the money at all, and his expression suddenly froze.
Qin Bai followed behind the scholar, and the two of them went one behind the other. At this time, the other party was mostly sober.
When passing by a remote street, Qin Bai quickly stepped forward and pulled the scholar into a corner.
The donkey understood and used his body to cover the two of them.
The scholar was obviously frightened. As soon as Qin Bai wanted to beg for mercy, his neck was grabbed, making it impossible for him to break free.
Just when he felt that he was about to die, Qin Bai let go of his hand and looked at him with a strange expression.
"Hero, I..."
As soon as the scholar opened his mouth, Qin Bai threw out a piece of paper and put it directly on the scholar's mouth.
He checked carefully and found nothing strange, as if the bugs under the skin before were just an illusion.
But the changes on the scholar's body were indeed obvious, and his skin began to turn white in a short period of time.
It's not the kind of natural whiteness, but a condition that appears after being soaked in water for an extremely long time.
Qin Bai thought for a moment, then put his hand on the scholar's head under the horrified gaze, and then the true energy slowly poured into his body.
After circulating in a circle, Qin Bai was taken back, and then Qin Bai took a few steps back.
The gastric acid in the scholar's stomach began to boil, causing him to vomit violently, but his mouth was still sealed, and the wine suddenly spurted out from his nostrils.
"I wipe..."
Qin Bai then remembered and hurriedly took the paper man back, and then used his true energy to obliterate the talisman patterns on it in disgust and discarded it.
The scholar spit out the drink and continued to retching until blood came out of his mouth.
After the blood fell on the ground, many white maggots could be seen in it.
An extremely unpleasant smell came out, and Qin Bai covered his nose with his hand.
Maggots seemed unable to survive in the air, and soon there was no movement. The scholar's eyes were dull, and he was also frightened.
When Qin Bai saw that the achievement "Good wine nourishes people" was unlocked and the sour smell was too overwhelming, he turned around and walked away.
After a moment, the scholar staggered up. He glanced at the dead bugs on the ground and clasped his throat in fear.
After he calmed down a bit, he was just about to leave when a sloppy Taoist priest appeared in front of him.
Without saying a word, the Taoist priest took out the talisman and put it into a bowl to make some talisman water, and then poured it into the scholar's mouth.
A familiar feeling came to the scholar's heart. He held the wall and retched again, but this time there were no maggots in the talisman water he spit out.
The Taoist priest noticed Qin Bai's actions, nodded slightly and disappeared underground, leaving only the scholar collapsed on the ground.
Qin Bai randomly found an inn and stayed at it. Although he discovered something strange in the city, he had no intention of going into it further.
Everything is focused on unlocking achievements. If the opponent bumps into you without opening your eyes, it's not too late to take action.
Early the next morning, Qin Bai wandered around the streets. Whenever he passed a liquor store, he would go in and have a drink.
Both the paper man and the paper fox got a little benefit from this, but the two children's drinking capacity was really bad, and they would get drunk immediately after just one drop at most.
He ran down all the wine shops in Liangcheng and only accomplished a small part of the achievements. The main reason was that although the taste of the wine sold there was different, the types were similar.
Qin Bai then set his sights on the liquor store in Liangcheng that was responsible for the liquor trade.
Its location is in the center of the town, next to the Yamen, but it occupies a much larger area than the latter.
The main building of the wine shop is a five-story pagoda. In the courtyard, you can see a huge granary and several breweries emitting white smoke.
There were several guards in light armor standing at the door. When they saw Qin Bai planning to approach, they immediately became vigilant.
Something was obviously going on at the liquor store. The guards had serious expressions on their faces, and no one was entering or leaving the store.
Seeing this, Qin Bai was too lazy to ask. He looked up at the sky and turned around to leave.
Now he didn't know what was going on in the city, so he thought it would be better to go find out the news first before deciding whether to get involved in this troubled situation.
Qin Bai turned around and walked towards the inn, but within a few steps he bumped into a small stone.
You must know that he pays attention to the surrounding situation at all times, and no matter what happens, he can't escape his ability to see ten lines at a glance. This stone obviously appeared suddenly.
Qin Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, paused on the spot and looked around with his peripheral vision, and then he continued to walk forward, but the stone under his feet disappeared at some point.
After Qin Bai returned to the guest room, the paper man emerged from his arms, holding the stone in his hand.
Qin Bai took it and looked at it carefully. The surface of the stone was uneven, which should not be naturally formed.
"Magic?"
He rubbed it gently with his fingers, and after a while, the entire stone turned into powder on the ground.
Sure enough, there was a small piece of paper hidden in the stone, with a line of crooked writing on it. He read it carefully for a long time before he recognized it.
"See you at the top of the wine tower."
Qin Bai was stunned. What did this mean? There was no information except the wine tower. No matter what the other party's purpose was, he couldn't just go there and wait.
He is indeed the Riddler.
He ignored it and burned the note directly to ashes.
Just when Qin Bai was going to practice Qi and practice, suddenly a small stone was thrown in from outside, which directly broke the window paper.
Qin Bai picked up the stone and pinched it with his fingers. There was another note inside.
The handwriting on it is even more messy, and there are even signs of erasure. The level is no more than five years old and less than ten years old.
"Two o'clock in the morning, wine tower."
Qin Bai burned the note here again. At this time, another pebble was thrown in and hit his head.
The veins on his forehead popped out. He squeezed the stone hard and the stone powder fell down.
This time the note had the word "today" written on it.
Qin Bai laughed angrily and directly held the note in his palm. With the explosion of strong energy, the piece of paper turned into pieces the size of sesame seeds.
There were two fist-sized holes in the paper window, and the cold wind blew in from the outside.
Qin Bai came to the window and looked outside. There was a figure dressed as a Taoist priest standing in the corner, holding a piece of paper in one hand and a brush in the other hand, preparing to write something.
"You're crazy."
As if feeling Qin Bai's gaze, the Taoist priest looked up, then made a gesture, then nodded and escaped underground.
Qin Bai's eyes twitched as he recognized his identity from the technique of escaping from the ground. He didn't know what to say. He just felt that the other party was here to mess with his mentality.
This Taoist priest is named Zhiqiu Yiye, and he and Yan Chixia appear in A Chinese Ghost Story, but his strength is not as advanced as the latter's. The main methods are spells and earth escape techniques.
He has a good nature, but his brain is a little bit sick.
Qin Bai thought about it and prepared to go to the appointment. He knew that it was harmless to make friends with Qiu Yiye. Even if the other party had malicious intentions, he was not afraid. With his own defense, he could not break through it without the skill of a flying sword.
In the future, if he encounters a sign-in task that he cannot solve, Qin Bai can definitely bring Yan Chixia with him, and the three of them will form an exorcism group.
It was soon approaching the second watch. He stood up and looked out from the window. There were only a few watchmen holding lanterns walking around on the street.
Qin Bai did not go out through the front door, but opened the window and jumped out.
A bloody paper sword flew out of the sword bag, and he stepped on the bloody paper sword with his feet and jumped to the roof.
The moonlight shone on his body, but fortunately he was not obvious in the dark because of his dark clothes.
Qin Bai was about to walk when he raised his feet and suddenly realized something. With his weight, as long as he took a step now, I'm afraid the entire roof of the inn would collapse.
He quickly summoned the Huang Qiong Sword from his sword bag, intending to use his extremely unreliable sword control skills to get on his way.
After a long period of incubation, Huang Qiongjian has changed a lot. The amber-like sword body has a little more sediment, as if it were carved from topaz, and you can still find the brilliance in it.
Qin Bai stepped on Huang Qiong's sword, and then controlled the flying sword with his mind to slowly move towards the wine tower.
Compared to Yan Chixia's proficient swordsmanship, Qin Bai's speed is like the difference between a sports car and a tractor, and it's also the kind of tractor that can break down at any time.
Now that he can fly with a sword, it is already a great improvement. It is still too reluctant to rely on this method to defeat the enemy.
The journey went smoothly. Although there were many guards at the liquor store, they did not notice the sky.
It's just that Qin Bai is always a little frightened when he flies, for fear of falling down accidentally.
He landed on the highest floor of the wine tower. At this time, the moon was obscured by clouds, and his eyes were pitch black.
Only the breweries in the courtyard were still brightly lit, and people could be seen walking through them.
"Is this a high-intensity work around the clock?"
Liangcheng Liquor Shop can be targeted by Zhiqiu Yiye, so even if there is no demon inside, there must be something hidden.
The cold wind blew by, and the clouds that obscured the moon gradually dispersed.
The moment the light returned, Qin Bai suddenly felt a figure beside him. He was startled and almost fell from the eaves.
"Who are you?!!"
The clothes this man was wearing were a little tattered, but from the hairpin in his hair, it could be seen that he was a Buddhist monk, and his face was covered with black cloth.
The Taoist priest hugged a fist and then explained: "There has been trouble in this grain city. You and I are both on the same path, so I want to ask if you know anything about it."
He pointed at himself and said: "As for me, I am a Taoist priest who studied in Kunlun, and I know the autumn leaves."
Qin Bai's expression showed no surprise. It was indeed your boy. Unfortunately, his face was covered with cloth. He didn't know if it was Brother Xueyou's face.
After Zhiqiu Yiye finished speaking, he found that the other party was staring at him with inexplicable eyes, and he suddenly felt guilty. Could it be that this person had other intentions.
Originally, he had no intention of contacting Qin Bai, but since he couldn't handle it alone, he decided to take the risk and give it a try.
Zhiqiu Yiye also drew a restraining spell on the palm of his back, and he would cast it immediately whenever something unexpected happened.
Seeing that he was a little wary, Qin Bai took a few steps back and said, "Famous is not as good as meeting. I, Qin Bai, am just a casual cultivator."
Zhiqiu Yiye felt a little relieved. The other party was full of vitality, and he also saved the scholar's life in the city. His character should not be bad.
"Be humble, I can't see through your cultivation. I'm afraid you have already refined your energy and become a god, right?"
"Well……"
Qin Bai quickly changed the subject and said, "What, why do we have to make an appointment here?"
"Ah, it's not appropriate to have a wide view at high altitude, and it's also been discovered..."
Qin Bai patted Zhiqiu Yiye on the shoulder and motioned him to look towards the ground.
I saw two watchmen patrolling the streets holding lanterns. They seemed to have spotted the two of them, pointing here and whispering to each other to confirm.
"...Let's go then."
Zhiqiu Yiye came to the back of the tower and jumped down. He kept pumping up his energy as he fell, without making any sound.
Qin Bai also wanted to jump down, but it was too difficult to make no sound with his own weight. He was afraid that a big hole would be made in the ground.
He found that there was no good way, so he had to step on Huang Qiongjian and gradually fall downwards. The speed was not much faster than the elevator in the old apartment, but it was better than walking down the stairs.
Zhiqiu Yiye waited under the tower for a while. He thought Qin Bai would come down soon, but after a few breaths there was no movement, so he subconsciously looked towards the air.
Qin Bai stepped on the flying sword and slowly fell down. Zhiqiu Yiye opened his mouth wide, but quickly reacted.
Is it possible that flying with a sword like this is to exercise one's control?
By the time Qin Bai landed on the ground, a few minutes had passed. He was about to explain something, but saw a little admiration in the other person's eyes.
This man is indeed seriously ill.
"What do you say now?"
Qin Bai thought about retreating first, but Zhiqiu Yiye refused directly.
"No, since I made an appointment here, it's because of the brewing house." He pointed to several brightly lit rooms in the yard in the distance, which were also the places where the guards patrolled the most.
Qin Bai agreed. He was also very curious about this, and the two of them touched in that direction along the corner of the wall.
As he got closer and closer, the guards on the road gradually became unavoidable.
Zhiqiu Yiye nodded towards him, and the runes on his palms were slightly hot.
"Urgent is like a law, it is determined!"
