The legend of the ancestor of magic Dao, the return of cloud gathering and scattering

Not a moment later, Wang Ji took the two of them to the private room.Throw the two of them on the ground and close the door.

One person's lips were black and purple, and there was still a trace of black blood at the corner of his mouth. It seemed that he was no longer breathing.And the other person was Xiaoer who delivered the food just now. He couldn't move his hands and feet, his eyes were full of fear, his mouth was tightly closed and he couldn't make a sound.

Wang Ji pointed to the dead man and said: "Uncle, brother, this is the cook, Wang Ji is a little late, he has already committed suicide by taking poison."

Xichen stepped forward and knelt down to look carefully at the dead body, and finally grabbed the man's hands to look carefully at the tiger's mouth.It seems that Xichen has seen some clues.

I handed Wei Wuxian back to Wangji to hold him, and went to squat down to examine him carefully. I saw that the man was about forty years old, with a moderate build and muscular body. His physique should also be that of a fairy disciple. Looking at the hands, there are thick calluses on the palms and fingers of those hands, especially the tiger's mouth and the thumb and index finger pulp are covered with thick calluses, so I have a general idea in my heart.

I unraveled Xiao Er's speech suppression technique, and said sharply: "Take out the antidote, if you try to push back, he will be your fate!"

Xiaoer glanced at Wei Wei Wuxian who was in Wangji's arms, and was so frightened that his whole body trembled like a powder sieve, his face turned pale, and he spoke incoherently, "Little... villain... I really don't know what... what Antidote..."

Wang Ji gave him a cold look, Xiao Er stammered in fright, and said in a tongue-in-cheek manner, "Immortal family, forgive me... Xian family, forgive me... villain... villain really... really don't know anything... ..."

Xi Chen walked over and stood in front of Xiao Er, looked at him and said in a low voice, "The lotus root pork ribs soup you sent is poisonous, and now Mr. Wei is poisoned and unconscious, this cook commits suicide in fear of crime, quickly take out the antidote, and spare you."

Xiaoer was so frightened that he burst into tears, crawled over and grabbed Xichen's trousers while crying, "Xianjiamingjian...Xianjiamingjian... the little... the little one is just a waiter... I don't know the soup...the soup has... ...poisonous...I...I'm only...just responsible for...delivering...the soup from the kitchen...to the private room...even if you kill...kill me...you don't know any antidote..."

Xichen and I glanced at each other, it seemed that the little girl didn't know, so Xichen squatted down and patted his hand holding his trousers, and said, "You don't know, so get up and talk, we'll ask you a question and you'll answer." , if there is half a lie, we will not show mercy."

Xiaoer let go of Xichen's trousers, got up tremblingly from the ground, wiped away tears and hurriedly replied: "Okay, okay, the little one must know everything."

Xichen glanced at me and Wangji and asked slowly, "Where are you from? What is your surname? What did you do for a living before you came to Zuixianlou? How long have you been here?"

The little World War II replied tremblingly: "The villain from Gusu, named Chen Shihuai, lost his parents when he was young. Thanks to the care of the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou, he was able to grow up. Before coming to Zuixianlou, he had been herding cattle in the countryside of Caiyi Town. The shopkeeper met him. To be honest, I was brought from the countryside to work as a waiter in Zuixianlou, Caiyi Town, and I have been in Zuixianlou for more than ten years."

The young girl's Gusu Wu Nong spoke softly, it seems that she wasn't lying.Xichen continued to ask: "When did this cook come to Zuixian Tower, and where did he come from? Where did he come from?"

Xiaoer continued to reply cautiously: "This cook just came to our shop about five days ago. He said he came to visit relatives in Gusu, but his relatives have moved away and have nowhere to stay in Caiyi Town. He recommended himself as a cook. I begged the shopkeeper to take him in, and only asked for a place to take him in. I would rather not have wages. The shopkeeper saw that he was pitiful, and tried his good dishes, so he left him as a helper in the back kitchen. I only know that he is from Yunmeng, but I don’t know anything else.”

Wang Ji glanced coldly at Xiao Er, his cold voice stabbed Xiao Er like a knife, and asked coldly, "Then why do you recommend lotus root ribs soup to Young Master Wei!"

Xiaoer was so frightened that he "plopped" and knelt down again, with snot and tears, he said, "Excuse me, Xian family... Please forgive me, Xian family... Just now when you entered the restaurant, the cook happened to be in the lobby, and he said he recognized Mr. Wei. People from Yunmeng, want me to recommend Yunmeng's lotus root pork ribs soup to him... I really don't know that he wants to harm people..."

Xichen went over and grabbed Xiao Er's hand to examine it carefully, then took his pulse, let go of his hand and continued to ask, "Did anyone ask this cook these days or did the cook see something special?" people?"

Xiao Er frowned and thought hard for a while and said: "By the way, at dinner time four days ago, some immortals who cultivated immortals like you came to Zuixianlou for dinner. I remember that they were also in your private room. At that time they said the cook The food was delicious, so I called the cook to the private room to give a reward, and the cook went in and stayed for a while before coming out."

Xichen glanced at me, then continued to ask, "Do you still remember the outfits of those cultivators?"

Xiao Er hurriedly replied, "Those people are wearing black and gray clothes with animal head patterns on them, and those people are holding knives. The leader is about thirty years old, of medium height, looks weak, and holds a knife in his hand. Take the fan."

With a chill in my heart, I looked at Wangji, only to see Wangji's face was as cold as ice, and the cold murderous look in his eyes made people dare not look at him.

Xichen walked over and picked up Xiao Er and patted him twice to relieve his acupoints, then looked at Xiao Er and told him word by word: "I guess you have never lied, don't tell anyone what happened today, otherwise the cook will We can't save you even in your fate. If you want to survive, you'd better resign from your job here and go elsewhere, and don't let those cultivators find you."

Xiaoer was so frightened that his legs trembled and he fell to his knees again. He grabbed Xichen's trousers again and kowtowed like garlic: "The fairy family is good enough to save Xiao's life. A villain has no father, no mother, no wife and no children. The Qiuxian family took the little one back home to be a cow or a horse, but the villain has no relatives to turn to, and is afraid of being alone."

Xichen and I looked at each other, I nodded, Xichen looked at Wangji again, Wangji also nodded.

Xichen said to Xiao Er: "We can take you back to the Lan family, but you are too old to form alchemy and practice swordsmanship. You can change your surname to Lan and become a servant of the Lan family, but you have to swear to abide by our family rules. Anyone who breaks trust and betrays righteousness can be punished, are you willing to abide by it?"

Xiaoer took a look at the three of us, kowtowed again and said, "I am willing! Master, please accept my worship, and I wish to follow Lan's loyalty for the rest of my life!"

Xichen helped him up and said, "I am Lan Xichen, the patriarch of the Lan clan, this gentleman is my uncle, Senior Lan Qiren, and this is Lan Wangji, the second son of the Lan family, the new Immortal Governor. The governor’s Taoist companion, Wei Wuxian, Mr. Wei. From now on, you will follow me to do things!”

Xiao Erqian was very grateful and thankful.

Without any hesitation, we immediately set off with Yujian and returned to the unknown place in Yunshen.Wangji held Wuxian and Yujian at full speed, I followed closely behind, and Xichen followed us with Xiaoer.Xiao Er was so frightened that he tightly grasped Xichen's arm, closed his eyes and remained motionless.
