The Glass Maiden

Chapter 16 The Pearl Event (2) ()

Lutai Town is very lively in the afternoon, probably because the residents believed the Yamen's announcement that the demon had been caught, so it was restored to its former vitality. Street stalls, jugglers, snacks, etc., have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Xuan Ji walked from this stall to that stall, and she looked at the wooden toys for a while, and then "touched" and "touched" various stone tree root carvings. The leisurely appearance didn't seem to save people, but it seemed to be shopping.

Zhong Minyan pulled her sleeves behind, and whispered: "Hey, can you do business first? I want to go shopping later and have time to go shopping."

Xuanji took a mouthful of steamed cake and said vaguely: "I know, but you two look so nervous, as if you are doing something bad. Everyone is watching you."

The two hurriedly looked around, and many people were staring at them, and some even whispered.

Yu Sifeng's face changed, and he hurriedly pulled Xuanji in a whisper: "What should I do? They, they, don't they, know what we want and what we want?"

Xuanji shrugged her shoulders: "How would they know. As long as you two don't make a fool of yourself, and you are about to do bad things soon, of course no one will look at you."

She stuffed him a candied haws, "Hey, eat."

Yu Sifeng hesitated to put the candied haws into his mouth, his face suddenly faded, "Well, it's delicious!"

"Really?" Zhong Minyan also took one. "It's so sweet!...No, so sour!" He vomited out with a bitter expression, "Where is it delicious!"

Xuanji and Yu Sifeng laughed loudly, and finally even Zhong Minyan "touched" his head and laughed.

"Aren't you afraid now?" Xuanji said slowly, "To do big things, stability is the key... This is what Dad often said. If you are afraid, you must do well."

Yu Sifeng "showed" a look of yearning: "The head of Chu, he is right. Xuanji is also right. Master and the others, never before, have told me, these. It turns out, a good school, It's not just cultivating immortals, but also learning, being a human being, and making sense."

Zhong Minyan couldn't help but laugh at him every time he heard him stuttering in the Central Plains dialect. He simply slapped him on the back and laughed: "Then you can just join our Shaoyang faction! By the way, bring Central Plains too. Learn words hard!"

Being played like this by Xuanji, the two of them are no longer as nervous as before.

Turning the corner, the yamen is ahead. The huge glass cylinder was still there, and there were fewer onlookers, but for some reason, the guards around were twice as many as last time, and the glass cylinder was almost enclosed.

"There are too many officials, so try to avoid conflicts." Zhong Minyan hid in the dark and observed carefully, "Come, Xuanji, let's go there first."

He pulled Xuanji's sleeve, pretending to be an ordinary passerby, standing on tiptoe in front of the glass cylinder and watching.

The water in the glass jar was not clearer than it was that day. It was probably because people had smashed too many things into it, and it became muddy and yellow. The surface of the water was lifeless and there was no ripple. I don't know if the shark is still alive.

"Is it... dead?" Xuanji asked softly.

Zhong Minyan shook his head and was about to speak. The officer in front of the guard smiled and said, "You can't die! Little sister, you don't know, demons are not that easy to die. I will be escorted to Beijing in two days!"

Xuanji said "Oh" and looked up at him sincerely, "Uncle, can I take a closer look? I haven't seen a monster yet."

The officer hesitated, "I'm afraid... it's not good. This monster is very ugly, and the little sister will have nightmares."

Xuanji frowned slightly: "Just take a look, okay?"

The officer couldn't match the begging of the beautiful little girl, and finally let her in with relentlessness.

Xuanji walked to the front of the glass jar. This was the second time she had approached the shark. She still remembered that when he saw him for the first time, he looked at her with those wise eyes, his eyes were full of sadness. Strangely, the sadness was calm, as if he didn't care about being treated like this.

She reached out and tapped on the glass jar, and the water in the jar suddenly changed, as if something was swimming in it. Immediately afterwards, a pale face appeared, clinging to the wall of the tank.

He seemed to know that she was here, and he didn't move, but looked at her quietly. After a long while, the corner of her lips twitched, and she actually gave her a smile.

Xuanji couldn't help but uttered "Ah", the official behind hurriedly hugged her away, and said: "Scared! This demon is cunning!"

After speaking, he kicked the tank hard, and the pale face quickly disappeared into the muddy water.

Xuanji was still in shock, and said softly: "His face... a lot of injuries!"

The officer smiled and said, "I told you to stop watching. Okay, go home obediently."

Xuanji looked at the glass jar reluctantly before turning around and leaving. Zhong Minyan followed her, and the two of them found an alley and hid, while covering a black cloth.

"Did you see him?" Zhong Minyan asked.

Xuanji nodded: "He has a lot of injuries, but some don't seem to be hit by a stone. Maybe someone tied him with an iron chain, it seems there are traces of a whip..."

"He has been abused?!" Zhong Minyan was a little angry, "This shark man is too useless, if it is a demon, how can he be abused so easily by others!"

Xuanji sighed: "He looks very weak...Don't talk about it. It seems that Si Feng is about to start!"

The two of them hid their breath behind the wall and watched. Not far away, Yu Sifeng made a concealed gesture to them. The two immediately understood and put the black cloth on their heads, leaving only two holes in front of them.

Yu Sifeng pretended to be a passing person, stopped and watched for a long time in front of the glass cylinder, and then slowly retreated behind the crowd. He pinpointed a gap, squeezed out an iron pellet from the skin, and poured his infuriating energy. , Bounced out silently.

Everyone could only hear a "swish", and the glass jar snapped to pieces, and muddy water poured out. For a while, the scene was in chaos. People hid, yelled, and were in a daze. Even the guards were in chaos, looking for suspicious people everywhere like flies without their heads.

Yu Sifeng seized the opportunity to grab the body, shot like electricity, first clicked the "acupoints" of the few people guarding around the glass cylinder, and then threw the smoke grenades that had been prepared on the ground.

With a "pounce", the light purple "color" smoke rose on the ground, the taste was extremely spicy. At this time, people are "chaos" into a pot of porridge. The unknown officials can't see anything. They can only shout desperately: "Look at the glass jar! Look at the monsters!"

Just when they straightened their throats and shouted, Xuanji and Zhong Minyan had already secretly taken away the shark who was lying on the ground immobile.

When the smoke finally dissipated, people were "rubbing" with tears in their eyes, and when they came to search again, they found that there was nothing left in the broken glass jar, only large and small stones at the bottom of the jar, silently mocking them.
