Chapter 565 The True and False Madam Dou
Tang Yan explained seriously: "Under normal circumstances, there won't be two cans of salt, after all, the cans for salt are not small.
Just now I saw a special tank for salt in the warehouse. If the tank is short of salt, you can ask the kitchen helper to add it at any time, without having to put an extra tank taking up space.
The restaurant has been open for a while today, and this jar of salt happened to be consumed today. No customers have bothered the cook for such a long time, which means the salt level is normal.
Since there is no problem with this can, there is a high probability that there is something wrong with the can next to it.
To be on the safe side, I'll try this half can first!"
After saying that, Tang Yan swung his sword and chopped at the half jar of salt.
"Crack!"
The salt jar broke, and Tang Yan's score was reduced by one.
"Take a gamble!" Knowing that he would be killed whether he stretched his head or shrank his head, Tian Mei no longer hesitated and drew his sword to chop at the full jar of salt.
boom!
The jar immediately turned into a wisp of black smoke, and Tianmei successfully increased his strength by one point, finally taking a step back from the gates of hell.
"Success!" Tian Mei said excitedly.
"Congratulations!" Tang Yan smiled and said, "Let's go and look around somewhere else. First, increase your points, and then you can explore on your own."
Tian Mei had no objection and nodded obediently.
After leaving the tavern, the two passed through a narrow alley and came to the shop next to it.
This is a ready-made clothing store called "Xiuchunyifang". The store is very large and is divided into three areas according to men's, women's and children's clothing. The area for women's clothing is larger, occupying 60% of the space, children's clothing accounts for 30%, and men's clothing only 10%.
There were many customers choosing clothes in the clothing shop, and there were also three monster hunters carefully searching for monsters.
The two of them wandered around the store.
After walking around, Tian Mei fixed his sight on a cupboard, pointed at a scarlet phoenix robe and asked, "Could this be a demon?"
"Why do you think so?" Tang Yan did not answer in a hurry, but asked in return.
"I looked at all the clothes in the clothing shop, and only this piece of material is unique. Isn't it a bit too special?" Tian Mei asked expectantly.
Tang Yan smiled and said, "There is progress!"
"Is it really a demon?" Tian Mei was delighted and was about to draw his sword when he was held down by Tang Yan.
"It's not a demon."
"So you say there is progress?"
"At least you're not so reckless and know to ask first." Tang Yan praised.
Tian Mei glared at Tang Yan unhappily, and then asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with my judgment?"
“The scarlet phoenix robe is made of the fur of the Ice and Snow Spirit Marten. The Ice and Snow Spirit Marten is an eighth-level spiritual beast, and its fur is very expensive. Three furs are enough to make a piece of clothing. The cost is high, so the store will naturally not stock up in large quantities.
The clothes in the store's cabinets are either high-end or popular styles that are heavily promoted. Most of the ordinary clothes are hung on the hangers.
If this robe is hung on a hanger, it is most likely a demon, but it is reasonable to hang it on a cupboard. "Tang Yan explained to Tian Mei.
Tian Mei was like a fence-sitter, and her thoughts were instantly changed by Tang Yan.
"There's something wrong with this mirror. The object distance of a plane mirror should be consistent with reality, but its object distance is slightly longer. You try it." Tang Yan said, pointing to a dressing mirror.
Tian Mei thrust out a sword doubtfully, and with a "crack" the mirror shattered and turned into a wisp of black smoke.
Her score increased by five points.
Tang Yan succeeded repeatedly, and Tian Mei became more and more convinced of Tang Yan.
In the following time, she would only take action if Tang Yan nodded. As long as Tang Yan said no, she would not move even if she saw three-legged pants.
Half a day passed quickly.
There have been many changes in the rankings on the huge list.
The second place is Chan Buzhixue, with a score of 192.
The name "Dragon Knight" was ranked first, with a score of 356, far ahead!
Tian Mei followed Tang Yan and got 32 points, currently ranking 21st.
Although it wasn’t much, Tianmei was already extremely satisfied.
She was deeply aware that having a talent for cultivation did not mean that one would be smart in all aspects.
If Tang Yan hadn't been there, even if she was given a hundred points at the beginning, she would have been able to clear it all with her own ability!
A neutral voice suddenly sounded in the spiritual realm: "Attention all monster hunters, in a quarter of an hour, the Tingquan Mansion will start the [True or False Madam Dou] mission.
Tingquan Mansion is the residence of General Dou Jicheng. Three years ago, General Dou was ordered to go to the human border to resist the invasion of the demon tribe. Now that the battle has been won, he will return soon.
In order to take revenge on General Dou, the demon clan sent out a Chaos Sky Demon who transformed into Madam Dou's appearance and sneaked into Tingquan Mansion. He had a huge quarrel with the real Madam Dou, intending to replace her and take the opportunity to murder General Dou!
Please, clever monster hunters, open your eyes, find the monsters in Tingquan Mansion, and help General Dou escape the disaster of life and death.
If you successfully complete the task, you will be thanked by Tingquan Mansion!"
"Mr. Tang, would you like to go and take a look?" Tian Mei, who was investigating evil spirits in a bookstore, asked.
"Yeah." Tang Yan nodded.
The evil spirits in the bookstore had been almost hunted out, so the two men did not linger any longer and headed towards Tingquan Mansion.
Tingquan Mansion.
The gate of the mansion is made of thick red gold, and is carved with exotic flowers and plants. Just from the gate, one can see the extraordinary nature of Tingquan Mansion.
Tang Yan and Tian Mei stepped over the threshold, and a wide stone path led directly to the front hall.
In the open space in front of the hall, two beautiful women were arguing, and several people next to them looked anxious.
Many people in the mansion were watching and discussing, as if they were analyzing who was real and who was fake.
It should be that the mission time has not yet arrived, and the indigenous people in the palace are also in a static state.
More than thirty monster hunters have come to Tingquan Prefecture.
The arrival of Tang Yan and his companion attracted many people's attention. After all, they were the top-ranked tough guys on the list.
After a short while, the restriction of Tingquan Mansion was lifted.
"I am real, you are a monster!" Mrs. Dou on the left said sternly.
"You monster are so bold that you dare to come to Tingquan Mansion to cause trouble! Come here, kill this monster and let me see what it is!" Madam Dou on the right was not willing to be outdone and ordered the capture of the other party.
But the people on both sides looked exactly the same, and the guards around them could hardly tell the real ones from the fake ones, and they didn't know who to listen to.
"How dare you! You are the monster! Dad, Mom, please take a closer look at me. I am your real daughter-in-law!" Mrs. Dou on the left cried to the old man and old woman next to her.
"Mr. Luo, you are a learned man, please help me!" Mrs. Dou on the right looked at a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar for help.
"Yes, Mr. Luo, come and see, who is my daughter-in-law?" the old man in brocade clothes asked anxiously.
The middle-aged man looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He shook his head helplessly: "Forgive me for my poor eyesight. I really can't see it."
Mr. Luo then bowed to the monster hunters around him and said sincerely, "Monster hunters, who can help Tingquan Mansion identify the real thing?"
"I come!"
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" The monster hunters around raised their hands one after another.
The reminder from the spiritual realm sounded at the right time:
"If the monster hunter accepts the commission from Tingquan Mansion, please identify Madam Dou's authenticity within half a cup of tea. Failure will result in a deduction of ten points!"
After this prompt appeared, the monster hunters who had just signed up enthusiastically suddenly fell silent.
Many people’s current points are less than ten points. If the mission fails, they will be directly wiped out by the Spirit Realm.
"Let me try!" A young man in a blue shirt stood up.
With the appearance of this person, the pupils of the monster hunters shrank slightly.
I went to the empty mountain with only nine points.
If you fail, you will regret it!
