Chapter 456 You guys are so bad! [Two in one]
According to legend, if a fish is made into Qinghe Vinegar Fish, it will die with its eyes open.
This dish is the most famous yet the most unpalatable dish on the Qinghe River. Of course, it is only outsiders who think it is unpalatable...locals would never try it.
Perhaps the other party chose this dish as a symbol because it is impossible to finish it. They are sure that Liang Yue will only eat one bite at most and it will not affect the assassination later.
If it was a delicious dish that Liang Yue could finish in just a few bites, what would happen?
When Liang Yue called for more dishes, all the family heads, led by Qi Delong, panicked and waved their hands, saying, "No, no, no... Sir Liang, just enjoy it yourself. We don't have the honor..."
"Why?" Liang Yue raised his eyebrows. "You gentlemen insist that I enjoy this fish alone. Do you think you don't consider me a friend? If that's the case, I'll leave now."
"Lord Liang!" Qi Delong hurriedly stopped them, and several people came up and pulled Liang Yue.
Liang Yue's attitude was very firm. "Within a quarter of an hour, I want to see the kitchen bring one to each of you, otherwise I will definitely not eat this meal."
"Okay." Qi Delong had no choice but to ask the kitchen to hurry up and prepare.
Fortunately, the kitchen of Wanfulou was big enough, and a team of chefs worked at the same time. In a short while, they brought out several plates of vinegar fish, with one fish placed in front of each person.
The other family head turned to Qi Delong with a fake smile and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "What should we do..."
"I can only eat it quickly..." Qi Delong also replied with gritted teeth, turned his head and smiled at Liang Yue: "Master Liang is so thoughtful."
The assassin who was agreed upon will be here in less than half an hour, and by then he will see a fish in front of everyone at the table.
Killing everyone is the lightest punishment, but I’m afraid they will ask you for more money after killing them.
So several family heads shouted: "Thank you, Sir Liang, for your kindness! Let's drink first as a sign of respect!"
Almost at the same time, they picked up the vinegar fish plate in front of them and started to eat it voraciously, and then they all showed painful expressions.
Liang Yue quietly stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece and tasted it. As soon as he put it in his mouth, the taste was just like taking a mouthful of vinegar and then jumping into the river to take a bite of raw fish... The taste was so sour and refreshing.
In his heart, he gave this dish his highest praise - he thought Yan Shenbing would love it.
"Eh..." Liang Yue silently drank a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth. Looking at the family heads who were wolfing down their food, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Others are toasting, but you guys just drink fish right away. You are really generous."
Qi Delong was eating so much that tears were about to come out, but he still said, "This vinegar fish is really a delicacy. I can't help eating it..."
Seeing that they were about to finish the fish in front of them, Liang Yue said, "In that case, tell the kitchen to serve everyone another fish."
All the family heads were stunned when they heard this, "?"
No.
What are you doing?
They probably have never finished a vinegar fish in their lives, and now they want another one?
But his mouth was full and he had no time to say anything to stop it. He could only wave his hands repeatedly, and Liang Yue pretended not to see.
The prison officer gave the order, and the kitchen staff naturally followed it. The chef in charge of making vinegar fish was simply beaming with joy. I have been making this dish for half my life, and I have always been scolded. Sometimes I am struggling with whether to make a decision that goes against my ancestors and change the method to make it more delicious.
Today I finally found a soulmate.
He was going to prepare a homemade side dish later, hawthorns with vinegar and lemon, to help the distinguished owners of the house relieve their greasiness.
When a brand new vinegar fish was placed in front of everyone again, the family heads had tears in their eyes and they all turned to look at Qi Delong.
Qi Delong was also a little confused, but he quickly showed a determined look and said, "Eat!"
Seeing that the time is approaching and the assassin will be here soon, the vinegar fish in front of him must not be left behind!
Everyone closed their eyes, took a deep breath, and when they opened their eyes again, they gritted their teeth and stared at the fish in front of them. They were determined to pick it up and eat it, wishing they could just swallow it.
Seeing them trying to stuff the whole fish into their mouths, Liang Yue's face suddenly darkened. He pointed at the fish bone on the table and asked the waiter next to him, "What is this?"
The waiter shrank back and answered carefully: "Fishbone..."
"This fish has so many bones. Is it trying to fool us?" Liang Yue said with an unhappy expression, "I've heard that Qinghe is rich in delicious fish with few bones. What's going on?"
"Sir, we absolutely cannot do that." The waiter kept saying, "There is no fish without bones. This fish is already..."
"I don't care!" Liang Yue waved his hand, "Give each family head another one! Change a batch of Ci Shao's."
"puff--"
Hearing this, the family heads almost choked with vinegar.
“No need for that…” Qi Delong’s throat had been hoarse, and he grinned and said, “Sir Liang, this is not the way to eat delicious food.”
"Master Qi, although you are the host, I am the junior after all, and I have to take care of you." Liang Yue said with a righteous manner, "Just eat your food in peace, I will be responsible for asking people to add more dishes."
"Don't add any more!"
When they heard that he was going to add more, everyone present wanted to kneel down.
There are three vinegar fish here, and the smell coming out of your nose is sour. You will feel the flavor when you eat more.
Qi Delong's eyes were filled with tears, which he finally couldn't stop. He turned his head and looked outside the street. Why hadn't the assassin come yet?
If you had come a little later, we would have been sent away!
……
At this time, there were few pedestrians on the streets along the Qing River.
The aftermath of the huge brawl a few days ago was still there. Although there were no casualties on that day, the fact that so many practitioners had fought and destroyed the building still left many people with lingering fears, and they did not dare to approach this place for a while.
This made the two monks walking on the street particularly eye-catching.
The one on the left is an old monk wearing a black plaid robe. He is tall and thin, with sunken cheeks and narrow and sharp eyebrows.
The monk on the right is taller and stronger, with a face as white as cement, and a grayish complexion and hard features.
Although they are both monks, they do not have the slightest compassionate temperament. Their gazes are cold and they stare straight ahead, which is somewhat creepy.
As they moved forward, they seemed to be emitting some kind of black aura, causing everyone around them to subconsciously retreat.
We arrived at Wanfu Building.
"It's here." The old monk in black glanced at the plaque and strode in.
The waiter downstairs wanted to go forward and ask, but the old man just waved his hand lightly. The waiter who came forward froze up like a sculpture, unable to utter a word.
As they walked up the stairs, all the waiters and guards around them froze, and no one made a sound. Until they stood outside the hall where Liang Yue and his friends were having dinner, the tall monk wanted to push the door open and enter.
The old monk in black stopped him and pointed upwards, "It's not time yet."
The practitioners were extremely sensitive to the weather. The tall monk nodded, then waited silently with him.
About five breaths later, he reached out his hand again and pushed open the door in front of him.
It's noon, time to start killing!
If it is noon, it must be noon. This is the rigor of a professional killer.
The door was pushed open with a bang, and everyone inside was startled. Although the heads of the families had been waiting for the assassins to arrive and were quite nervous, they did not expect them to come so quietly.
The people present had never seen the killer's true face, and they had all been in contact through an intermediary. When they suddenly saw the two monks rushing in, even though they knew they were not coming for them, they were still startled by the murderous aura. But then came a sense of relaxation.
Great, the killer is here. We are saved!
Just now, Liang Yue had enthusiastically asked the kitchen to serve four or five vinegar fish to each person. The heads of the families were afraid that they would not be able to finish the food and would be seen by the killers, so they could only eat it as soon as it came, swallowing it frantically. At this moment, the whole room was filled with a sour smell.
But professional killers don't care about the environment.
As the left and right guardians of the Skeleton Temple, they would not take action easily, and once they did, it would be a big deal. In their limited experience of killing, there were really few such scenes...
In the past, when I went to kill people, I saw looks of fear, confusion, or despair.
But today, when I broke into the room, everyone in the room looked at me as if I were a savior, and some even breathed a sigh of relief.
Do they think of themselves as serious monks?
The old monk in black was a little confused, but he quickly put aside all distracting thoughts. As a professional killer, he quickly locked onto the target with a sweep of his spiritual sense.
There was a whole plate of crab roe tofu on the table, facing Qi Delong.
"It's him." The old monk said coldly.
In an instant, everyone's bodies seemed to be petrified, unable to move at all.
Liang Yue's cultivation should be the highest among the people at the table, but he also had difficulty breaking free from this invisible restriction. However, he was not panicking, as he still had at least two ways to break free.
He can mobilize the immortal vine to transform into nothingness with just a thought, or he can also lift the ban with the Lin character formula.
But he was not in a hurry to use it. Instead, he watched how the two monks moved, because he already knew that the other party's target would not be him.
Sure enough, the tall monk took a step and came to Qi Delong's back, grabbing his head with his big hand. The reason why he didn't crush it immediately was because there was a small process to go through before killing him.
"Someone asked us to bring you a message..." the old monk in black said slowly.
"Yunlu City is not a place where you can act wildly?" Qi Delong's expression collapsed with fear, and he said first: "Be smarter in your next life and know who you can and cannot mess with."
"Huh?" The old monk was startled.
how……
He said my words?
You've said it all, what else can I say?
This task was not completed perfectly.
The old monk suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart and frowned.
The tall monk did not have this obsessive-compulsive disorder, and asked in a deep voice: "How do you know all this?"
"Because these are what I said, and I paid you to come here, what are you doing?" Qi Delong shouted loudly.
"This tofu..." The old monk glanced at the crab roe tofu on the table, then looked at Qi Delong. Considering the shocked expressions of the people around him, he suddenly felt that something was strange about what happened today.
Just as he was thinking, a wave of obscure energy suddenly appeared behind him. If it were an ordinary person, it would be impossible to detect it, but the old monk had a high level of cultivation and full consciousness, so he immediately became alert.
But it's still a little late.
Because of the sudden change in the surrounding heavenly secrets, his true qi could no longer communicate with the Dao rhyme, and all his supernatural powers could not be displayed. For a Qi cultivator, this was undoubtedly a complete blockage of all his strength!
laugh--
A flash of sword light pierced through the door and stabbed into the old monk's back. He didn't even have the chance to look back to see who the murderer was, and he felt all his life force was gone.
In a flash, this powerful man of the time was killed here!
Liang Yue even felt a sense of suffocation. Is this the sword that Master used to make him immortal?
The power of the seal just now was truly terrifying.
It can be seen that the master still did not use his full strength, because if the sword seals the immortal with full strength, it can exhaust all the cultivation. And Wang Rulin just drew the sword casually, and immediately pointed it at the tall monk.
Before the two monks arrived, he had already been lying in ambush at the corner outside the door, restraining his breath and waiting for the bald man.
These two demon cultivators from the Skeleton Temple, one is a Qi Refiner and the other is a Warrior. If they were to form a formation and cooperate with each other with the support of a protector, the Qi Refiner would surely be able to exert his magical powers to the maximum extent and would be very difficult to deal with.
Wang Rulin's sneak attack directly killed the old monk who was a Qi-refining practitioner with a higher level of cultivation.
He is truly worthy of being called the master of sneak attacks.
Among the people killed by Wang Rulin in the past few days, very few were stabbed in the face, and most were killed by a blow from behind.
Perhaps the wound on the enemy's front is the shame of being at the top of the backstab list...
“Stop!” The tall monk saw that Wang Rulin was so powerful that he killed his senior brother with one move. He immediately felt like he was facing a formidable enemy and grabbed Qi Delong’s head. “Put down your sword, or I will crush his head.”
"Ha." Wang Rulin laughed, "You kill him, and then I kill you, double happiness."
"No!" Qi Delong cried, "Master Liang, save me. I can cooperate with you to wipe out the noble families. I know a lot of things..."
"Master Qi, relax." Liang Yue comforted him. Just when Qi Delong thought he would be saved, he continued, "You don't have to worry about leaving a descendant in the future."
"Help!" Qi Delong wailed.
"Put down the sword and step back!" The evil monk shouted, and with a slight force on his hand, Qi Delong's pupils swelled with blood and his head was deformed.
"Okay, okay, I'll retreat." Wang Rulin agreed, but took a few steps forward.
"Master, please step forward." Liang Yue took advantage of the chaos to make a comedian.
"I told you to step back!" the monk glared.
"I said yes." Wang Rulin continued to respond.
Seeing that he was only a table away from the monk, the tall monk finally realized something was wrong. His eyes narrowed, and his skin turned into pure white bones, as if he was wearing a layer of armor.
His action of putting on armor in advance was extremely correct, and it should also be the prediction of a strong man. Because almost at the same moment, Wang Rulin suddenly turned into a shadow, not caring about the life or death of the hostage at all, and pierced the monk with a sword.
Go to the sky!
Although he used the same sword moves as Liang Yue, the ones performed by Wang Rulin were exceptionally sharp. It looked simple and unpretentious, but in fact he could kill any god he met!
laugh--
The tall monk let go of Qi Delong and tried to block the sword with one hand, but he didn't expect that Wang Rulin's sword was just a feint. The real landing point of Shang Qingtian was behind him, and then he counterattacked with a sword.
Another sword strike.
Then wear it at the back.
“Uh…” The tall monk’s magical powers faded away, and his skin color returned to normal, but soon lost its color again. He muttered, “No, there is a spy in the Rakshasa Ghost Market… Who… is it?”
Before he could finish his words, he was pushed to the ground by Wang Rulin with a thud.
"You talk too much." Wang Rulin said.
If this word gets out, wouldn't it tarnish the reputation of the lecturer?
Qi Delong, who was thrown aside, stared at the scene blankly, without any joy of surviving the disaster, because he knew that what was waiting for him would not be a good end. Soon, he came to his senses and looked at Liang Yue, then at Wang Rulin.
"So you knew that Qinghe vinegar fish was the agreed symbol, and even changed it to something else, but you still tricked us into eating five whole vinegar fish!" Compared to how the killer leaked the information, he was more concerned about this. His tone was extremely aggrieved, and even had a hint of tears.
"You two are really bad, master and disciple!"
