Chapter 457 The Ghost Empress 5
"Master, the important thing is that the Frost Cicada Pearl is gone!" Xiao Hai said helplessly, spreading his hands.
"What?" Mao Xiaofang exclaimed in surprise. "What exactly happened?"
It turned out that when Achu and Xiaohai arrived at the hotel, they happened to block Black Rose from leaving.
During the fight between the three, Black Rose accidentally swallowed the Cicada Pearl.
The two couldn't cut open Black Rose's belly with a knife, so they could only sigh at their bad luck and then return to report the news.
When she returned, Ah Chu was cautious and hid at the street corner to peek and see what was going on. When she saw the zombie leader about to make a move, she had a sudden idea and opened her mouth to imitate a few chicken crows.
Seeing this, Xiao Hai started to imitate him.
The incessant crowing of chickens scared away the zombies...
Hearing Achu and Xiaohai's detailed description, Ren Yinyin also felt a bit overwhelmed. How could it be such a coincidence?
"Uncle-Master, what should we do next?" Shi Shaojian asked.
There are quite a few zombies in Cixi's tomb. Cixi and her civil and military officials all have residual luck from the previous dynasty. Dealing with them is not as easy as dealing with ordinary zombies!
Mao Xiaofang also found it troublesome. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Where is Black Rose now?"
Xiao Hai said, "Master, Black Rose knows that someone has died, and she says that she was wrong. She has already gone to Fuxi Hall."
She still has some conscience!
Mao Xiaofang nodded, and the group returned to Fuxi Hall.
Black Rose was indeed here, along with Little Shrimp. The two of them looked at Mao Xiaofang and the others, too guilty to look up.
"Now you know you were wrong?" Mao Xiaofang said irritably. "Do you know that because of your greed, many townspeople in Gantian Town have died or been injured!"
Black Rose said guiltily, "I didn't know those zombies were so stubborn! I know I was wrong, what should I do now?"
"What can we do? You've swallowed the Cicada Pearl. We'll have to cut open your stomach and take it out!" Mao Xiaofang said.
Black Rose was shocked upon hearing this. "Oh dear, Mao Xiaofang, you can't be that cruel, can you?"
She didn't swallow the pearl on purpose!
"Hmph, you've harmed so many people, and you still have the nerve to call it cruel?" A-Chu said angrily, arms crossed. "If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened in Gantian Town!"
"It was done by zombies, not me..." Black Rose became more and more guilty as she spoke, but it was impossible for her to pay with her life.
Little Shrimp pleaded from the side, "Master Mao, everyone, Sister Mei didn't mean any harm. She sold the pearl because she wanted to help others!"
“A mistake is a mistake. Good intentions cannot excuse sins!” Shi Shaojian said coldly.
My uncle is too kind and indecisive. If it were him, he would have captured Black Rose and taken out the Frost Cicada Pearl long ago.
Ren Yinyin frowned slightly, "Uncle-Master, we need anesthesia for opening her up!"
Where will they get anesthetic drugs in such a short time?
Mao Xiaofang glanced at Black Rose's hesitant expression, shook his head, and gave A Chu a wink.
Achu understood, quietly retreated, went to the door to get a wooden stick, and silently walked behind Black Rose, knocking it down with the stick.
With a "bang," Black Rose fell to the ground.
When the little shrimp saw this, he was about to shout, but Xiao Hai rushed over and covered his mouth.
"Don't worry, it won't kill Black Rose!"
……
Because of the difference between men and women, Mao Xiaofang wanted Ren Yinyin to cut open Black Rose's stomach with a knife.
"Uncle-Master, are you talking about me?" Ren Yinyin pointed to her nose, incredulous.
Although she was a Taoist priest, and was skilled at catching ghosts and exorcising demons, she wasn't so fierce as to use a knife to cut open someone's chest!
"Uncle-Master, Yinyin has never done such a thing. If things go wrong, she might kill Black Rose..." Shi Shaojian said, seeing Ren Yinyin's troubled expression.
Black Rose's crime doesn't warrant death. Besides, even if she were guilty, shouldn't they be the ones to act as champions of justice and sentence her to death?
"Achu, Xiaohai, carry the black rose inside first, let me think!"
“Master, why don’t we let Sixi come?” Ah Chu suggested.
"Yes, Master, Sixi is very skilled at slaughtering pigs and chickens!"
"Alright then, Xiao Hai, go find Sixi and come help!"
"Okay!" Xiao Hai went out, and A Chu went to the kitchen to get pastries and tea to serve to her master, senior brothers and sisters.
Seeing that Xiaoxiami was worried, Ren Yinyin pushed the plate of pastries toward him, "Eat something, your sister Mei will be fine!"
Like my master, my uncle is stubborn but soft-hearted. If he wasn't confident, how could he have come up with this idea?
"Thank you, sister!" Little Shrimp said obediently.
Having grown up alongside Black Rose, he had witnessed the coldness and warmth of human relationships and could tell that the group of Taoists in front of him were not bad people!
While the group waited, Black Rose lay on the bed in the room, and a figure climbed in through the window.
She listened carefully to the sounds outside, and seeing that no one had noticed, she walked to the bedside, looked at the unconscious Black Rose, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Can I borrow your precious pearl? My little white dog needs it!
The newcomer was none other than the snake woman, Ah Xiu!
Her pet snake, Xiaobai, became a spirit and ate the people of Gantian Town. However, Mao Xiaofang managed to break its demonic power, preventing it from harming anyone!
Ah Xiu was also angry that Xiao Bai was eating people indiscriminately, but when she saw Xiao Bai's dying appearance, she felt a little heartbroken.
Upon hearing about the Cicada Pearl, Ah Xiu had an idea.
The Cold Cicada Treasure is said to have the power to bring the dead back to life, although that is definitely an exaggeration, but it certainly has the effect of healing wounds!
Thinking that she could save Xiaobai, Ah Xiu took action.
……
When Sixi returned with Xiaohai, Mao Xiaofang explained it to her carefully. Sixi, being bold, nodded in agreement.
"Master Mao, don't worry, people and pigs are very similar, I'll be fine!" Sixi said confidently.
Mao Xiaofang's expression stiffened slightly upon hearing her words. "Then thank you, Sixi!"
Si Xi entered the room, walked to the bedside, lifted Black Rose's clothes, and exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the scene before her.
"Master Mao..."
"What's the matter?" Everyone else was a grown man, so Ren Yinyin pushed open the door and came in.
“She has knife wounds on her body!” Sixi said, pointing to the red lines on Black Rose’s skin.
"The person who made the cut is very skilled, and I don't know what method they used, but they didn't even need to sew it up. The wound is now just a red line!" As he spoke, Sixi lowered his head and examined it carefully.
Upon hearing this, Ren Yinyin also stepped forward to take a look. It wasn't orthodox Taoist magic; it looked more like Gu magic...
"Is she alright?" Ren Yinyin reached out and placed her hand under Black Rose's nose. Feeling that she was breathing, she was relieved.
Seeing that Black Rose was still alive, Ren Yinyin decided not to waste any more time.
Upon exiting the door and seeing the anxious group, Ren Yinyin said, "Uncle-Master, Black Rose has been disemboweled, and the Frost Cicada Pearl is probably gone!"
"Who is it?" Xiao Hai asked curiously. "Besides zombies, who else would want the Frost Cicada Pearl?"
Ah Chu stroked her chin, pondering, "Could it be another thief?"
Mao Xiaofang glared at him. Where did all these thieves come from?
“Uncle-Master, I feel that Black Rose’s wound is very strange. It should be due to the use of Gu magic, but I can’t be sure!” Ren Yinyin said.
Shi Shaojian felt strange. How could someone who knew Gu magic suddenly appear?
"Ah, Gu magic? Could it be that person from Zhenkou Forest?" Achu clapped her hands in sudden realization.
"Who is it?" Mao Xiaofang pressed.
Are there still people like this in Gantian Town?
