MTL - Cultivating Immortals: I Can Save the Price-Chapter 14 The Hundred Eyes
Chapter 14 The Hundred-eyed One Who Takes Heads from the Air
Hexing Street is close to the Dadu River across Sanxiang City, hence the name.
Every morning and evening, a large number of fishermen follow the river to the pier on Hexing Street, and stop at the fish market to set up stalls and sell them.
Residents in the west of the city will come here whenever they want to buy aquatic products, and even other urban areas will come here specially by horse-drawn carriage.
The fish market at the wharf is indeed special.
The fish sold by the stalls in the early morning is the freshest, and they are usually still alive. They are very popular among big families and restaurants.
The fish sold at the stalls in the evening have been raised in wooden tubs for a day.
The common people will carefully select the dead fish, and it is also good to try them early.
When the sky gets dark, and after the eating point, the stalls gradually decrease.
The fishermen drove their boats and left Sanxiang City one after another. They all lived in villages on the outskirts of the city, and the night road in the water was really difficult to walk.
Under the background of the setting sun, the fish market has become a lot of things.
Zhang Dou hurriedly cleaned up the booth, and almost left too late in order to buy pen and ink for his Mongolian child.
At this time, he noticed that there was a fish stall not far away, and he was not ready to close the stall at all.
Zhang Dou glanced at the sunset halfway up the mountain and walked over quickly.
He had several encounters with the stall owner, and couldn't help reminding him: "Wang Bingquan, you can go, but it will be difficult to walk the waterway later."
"Hey Hey."
Wang Bingquan let out an inexplicable smile, his head was bigger than ordinary people, and his face was full of blue veins.
Zhang Dou took a few steps back, but he recovered quickly.
He looked at the stall, there was a silver carp in the wooden basin, and the fish eyes on both sides were missing, and the quality was too poor to sell.
"Wang Bingquan, if you can't sell this fish, go back and cook your own soup..."
"Hey hey, do I want to sell you?"
"Whoever wants your broken fish, consider my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs."
Zhang Dou couldn't help but scolded a few times, but Wang Dingquan in front of him was not angry, but just kept smiling strangely, which made one's hair creep.
He suddenly remembered the tragic incident he had heard, as if it was about Wang Bingquan.
There are five fishermen in the village where Wang Bingquan lives. They fish together and take turns to sell fish, and they take care of each other.
I didn't expect that a few days ago, when they set off their nets in the Dadu River, all the fishermen except Wang Bingquan were killed.
It is said that the corpse that was salvaged by the yamen did not have a piece of good flesh all over his body, and only two holes were left in his eyes.
Rumor has it that it was harmed by water ghosts.
Zhang Dou couldn't help showing pity, I'm afraid Wang Bingquan has lost his mind, no wonder he stayed in the fish market and didn't leave.
He sighed and said, "Wang Bingquan, I bought this fish, you should go home early."
Wang Bingquan raised his head, stared straight at Zhang Dou, and an exaggerated smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Sanwen money."
Zhang Dou took out the money bag from his arms with an ugly face, took out a few pennies like a plague god, and handed it to the other party without counting it.
Wang Bingquan skillfully passed the straw rope through the mouth of the fish, and then handed the whole silver carp over.
"Remember to fry and eat, the silver carp is tender and smooth, and the fish eyes are a must."
Just when Zhang Dou was about to take it, someone suddenly cut off the beard of the silver carp and grabbed the straw rope just right.
He turned his head quickly, not knowing when there was a yamen next to him.
"you……"
Ren Qing did not intend to return the silver carp, but instead advised: "You hurry up and get on the boat, just spend three cents to buy a life."
Zhang Dou had to suffer from this suffocation because of his fear of the yamen, and at the same time, he had deep doubts in his heart.
A stinking dead fish, what does it mean for two people to fight, and what does it mean to have three cents to buy a life?
Zhang Dou walked to the pier in confusion, he looked in the direction of Wang Bingquan again, and saw the two of them turned into the alley one after the other.
The more he thought about it, the more wrong he felt. No matter how he looked at it, Wang Bingquan looked like a savage ghost, so he quickly punted away.
And Ren Qing swayed with the silver carp, his eyes constantly observing the surrounding of the alley.
He secretly visited the corpses of the headless case, and found that some of the deceased's residences were close to the water source, so he found Hexing Street.
The common point of these people is that they bought a dead fish before they were alive. After eating it, their eyes started to hurt, and they finally turned into a headless corpse.
The other corpses encountered different situations, indicating that the Hundred Eyes Man never showed his face, and he has been killing people invisibly by some means.
Ren Qing was waiting at the end of the alley. There was no light nearby, and it could be said that he could not see his fingers.
He stood there for a while, his bright green eyes gradually approaching him, and he could hear some inexplicable murmurs.
"I didn't want to kill them."
"They're damned, damned."
"How can you blame me, don't blame me."
"Die Die Die Die!!!"
Wang Bingquan came over, his distorted face was full of resentment.
"I'm here to return your fisheye..."
Ren Qing noticed the difference, he looked at the silver carp in his hand, and saw that the scales of the fish gradually fell off, and dense human eyes grew out.
In a trance, the silver carp became extremely alive, as if it had just jumped out of the water, which made him swallow his saliva.
Ren Qing's heavy pupils turned, and the illusion disappeared in an instant.
He stretched out his hand and pinched the carp, and he could clearly feel the foreign object inside. After tearing open the belly of the fish, a human eye fell out of it.
Ren Qing saw that the human eyes were still moving, he stepped directly into the minced meat, and then leaned towards Wang Bingquan.
Wang Bing muttered to himself towards the wall. He seemed to feel extreme fear and fell to the ground tremblingly.
"Don't kill me, I have done what you said, feeding the eyes to the living people every day, and the villagers are not spared."
When he said this, his tone became startled again: "I didn't kill them, I just hid my eyes in the belly of the fish, they should die if they buy my fish."
Ren Qing pulled out the dagger from his waist and walked away.
Wang Bingquan's head turned red, and even most of his eyeballs protruded, but he did not look away.
The ability of Hundred Eyes is to create illusions. It is not difficult to manipulate people's hearts through this. Wang Bingquan is obviously the opponent's puppet.
Ren Qing looked towards the wall.
For other cultivators, even with night vision, he couldn't observe in detail, but those with double pupils were able to do it with ease.
I saw the snail crawling on the wall, and there was a human eye between the tentacles of that head, looking at Ren Qing with strange eyes.
Before Ren Qing could react, the snail exploded into mud.
There was a gurgling sound in Wang Bingquan's throat. He covered his broken neck in pain, and his head fell to the ground.
rolled his head against the wind and rushed out of the alley in the blink of an eye.
Ren Qing hurried to catch up.
With the Hundred Eyes Man method, it doesn't look like he was just promoted. He always felt that he had been hidden in Sanxiang City for a long time.
Maybe you are seriously injured and need medical attention, or you may be dying to extend your life.
If this is the case, the Hundred-eyed Man definitely relies on strange objects to reach the half-corpse.
If you want to promote the Hundred Eyes, you must eat the strange things of the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord. Not to mention the death, how can you find it so easily.
Is the other party creating chaos and covering up?
