Chapter 85: Anti-Lifespan Talisman (Added for Alliance Leader Starry Sky)
"Open the door for him!" Zheng Shouhe gripped the dagger tightly, pressing it against Wen Xiangyu’s back.
Wen Xiangyu had no choice but to open the door.
After opening the door, a delicate face was revealed; it was Lu Yang.
Wen Xiangyu desperately signaled Lu Yang to run, but Lu Yang acted as if he didn't see it, revealing a professional fake smile: "Your skewers."
Zheng Shouhe also revealed a professional fake smile. The other party looked like an honest man, and it was too easy to trick him in: "Little brother, come in and sit for a while. I’ll get you the money."
Lu Yang believed it was true and walked in. Seeing the room was pitch black, he smiled: "You didn't even light a lamp, sleeping so early."
Seeing Lu Yang walk in foolishly, Wen Xiangyu was anxious. She hardened her heart and wanted to push Lu Yang out.
How could Zheng Shouhe not see Wen Xiangyu’s strangeness? It was too late. He sneered, threw Wen Xiangyu behind him, and the dagger stabbed at Lu Yang in the darkness.
Zheng Shouhe had been in the dark for a long time, and his eyes had adapted to the darkness. The other party walked in from the street and would definitely need a transition time to adapt to the darkness. This was the opportunity!
It seemed tonight was destined to be a bloody night!
Lu Yang kicked Zheng Shouhe four or five meters away.
Why talk about science with a cultivator?
Zheng Shouhe didn't expect Lu Yang’s kick. This kick was too heavy and deep, like a giant rock hitting his chest. He saw stars, several ribs were broken, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!
He realized he had hit a hard nail and had to use a hostage to survive!
Zheng Shouhe forcibly suppressed the pain in his chest with willpower and turned to grab Wen Xiangyu’s wrist.
"If you move again, I’ll kill her!" Zheng Shouhe threatened viciously.
The person in Zheng Shouhe’s arms sneered: "Who are you going to kill?"
Zheng Shouhe looked down and was horrified to find that the person he grabbed was not Wen Xiangyu, but Lu Yang!
Lu Yang held Zheng Shouhe’s chin with one palm, took the dagger with the other hand, and casually dislocated Zheng Shouhe’s limbs.
"What kind of luck is this? I can encounter so many things just by delivering food."
Lu Yang exhaled, lit a candle, and the room lit up with dim light.
Wen Xiangyu didn't expect the changes to be so fast. The barbecue shop waiter was like a god descending to the world, and the fierce villain was subdued in the blink of an eye.
"Are you okay?" Lu Yang helped Wen Xiangyu, who was sitting on the ground in a daze, up.
"I-I’m fine."
"That’s good. Pay for the skewers," Lu Yang said politely.
"Ah? Oh... oh." Wen Xiangyu then remembered that Lu Yang was here to deliver food and saved her by the way.
After Wen Xiangyu gave Lu Yang the money, she felt lingering fear and wanted to say something to relieve the fear in her heart: "A-are you a cultivator?"
"Yes."
"Cultivators also open shops?"
"For a living."
Zheng Shouhe, who was wailing on the ground, was full of regret. What kind of luck was this? He encountered a cultivator as soon as he went out. Had cultivators already reached the point of delivering food to make a living?
Lu Yang looked at Wen Xiangyu’s look of surviving a disaster and shook his head with a smile: "I’ll go report the case with you."
"Thank you." Wen Xiangyu remembered the thief upstairs. "By the way, there is also a person upstairs. He should be his accomplice."
As soon as Wen Xiangyu woke up, she saw Zheng Shouhe and Lu Zhi, thinking these two were together, but had an internal conflict because of her beauty.
Lu Yang went upstairs and saw Lu Zhi tied up tightly. He also thought it was Zheng Shouhe’s accomplice: "It’s a gang crime after all."
Lu Zhi shouted injustice: "Don't talk nonsense. I’m not with that person. He is a kidnapper, and I am a thief. The starting point for our sentencing is different!"
Lu Yang was amused: "You know quite a bit about criminal law."
"We in this line of work check the laws before committing a crime to see how many years we can be sentenced," Lu Zhi said. It could be seen that he was very knowledgeable.
"Then let’s go. Let’s go to the government office to see how many years you can be sentenced."
Hearing about the government office, Lu Zhi begged for mercy in fear: "Don't, don't, brother. We can discuss things. We are all in the Jianghu; why force it so hard? Look, I’ll give you something good, and you let me go, how about that?"
Lu Yang looked at Lu Zhi and saw he was just a mortal: "What good thing?"
"A yellow paper that can make people sleep. With this paper, you can make whoever you want sleep, and you can do whatever you want to her!"
Lu Yang thought of the various anomalies recently, frowned, realized the problem wasn't simple, and asked coldly: "Where is it?"
Lu Zhi wasn't stupid. How could he answer just because you asked: "You promise to let me go first!"
Lu Yang swore solemnly: "I, Chi Xulong, swear to heaven that if I don't let you go, Chi Xulong will be struck by five thunders!"
Lu Zhi was overjoyed: "The yellow paper is in the corner of the outer wall on the first floor."
Apparently, Lu Zhi wasn't very smart either.
Lu Yang jumped down from the second floor, walked around the first floor, and sure enough, found a yellow paper.
The yellow paper had symbols Lu Yang couldn't understand, like some kind of talisman.
He put the talisman away and returned to the second floor: "Where did you get this?"
"Under the Dashi Bridge. I was escaping by boat once, and I accidentally looked up and saw a yellow paper stuck under the Dashi Bridge."
Lu Yang nodded, went downstairs to set Zheng Shouhe’s leg, and sent the two to the government office, with Wen Xiangyu following closely behind.
"Hey, hey, hey, you didn't keep your word!" Lu Zhi shouted.
Lu Yang sneered. It was Chi Xulong who was struck by lightning; what did it have to do with Lu Yang?
It happened that Commandant Wei was on duty tonight. When he saw Lu Yang pressing two criminals to the government office, he had a feeling of "it’s you again."
After hearing the situation of the two criminals, Commandant Wei put away his joking mind and became serious. This Zheng Shouhe had a murder case on his back and was a serious criminal. Lu Yang had made a great contribution.
"This is the yellow paper Lu Zhi mentioned." Lu Yang handed the yellow paper to Commandant Wei. He had already memorized the symbols on the yellow paper.
Commandant Wei took the yellow paper and realized the problem.
He heard that some people below were sleepy during the day. He didn't feel it himself and thought it wasn't a big deal. Now it seemed that someone was deliberately making trouble!
There were no telling how many such yellow papers were hidden in Yanjiang County!
However, Commandant Wei didn't know what the runes on the yellow paper meant. He would wait until the Chief Constable came to work during the day to ask the Chief Constable.
"Thank you. I’ll send you a silk banner tomorrow." Commandant Wei finished taking the statements from Lu Yang and Wen Xiangyu and waved goodbye.
Before leaving, Lu Yang went to the prison and found Chi Xulong: "I have a brother named Zheng Shouhe who is coming in for a while. Please take care of him."
Chi Xulong sneered. You have times when you ask me for help? Take care of him? My Pebble-Spitting Divine Art has reached perfection. Watch how I deal with him!
After Lu Yang sent Wen Xiangyu back to the tofu shop, he firmly refused the tofu Wen Xiangyu offered.
After such a toss, the barbecue shop had already closed. When Lu Yang went back, the two ghosts were washing dishes.
Lu Yang drew the runes on the yellow paper for Lan Ting: "Look at this rune. Is the effect to make people fall asleep?"
After Lan Ting examined it carefully, she showed a look of surprise: "Where did you find this? This is an Anti-Lifespan Talisman. This talisman will absorb people’s lifespan. The people who are absorbed will appear to be lacking energy and sleepy."
"This kind of rune is only effective for mortals and will not have the slightest impact on cultivators."
