Chapter 346: The mysterious and pretentious Gu Master
The night passed peacefully, and the three men did not do anything special.
The next morning, just as Ye Tang got up, he heard from the servants that the old woman was making breakfast in the kitchen with the nanny and the maid.
The breakfast was very rich, with meat porridge, boiled eggs, steamed dumplings, scallion pancakes and sweet soup, and everything looked very appetizing.
Ye Tang and his companions did not dare to eat it.
"Come and try it to see if it suits your taste." The old woman greeted everyone gently.
Shangguan Zhenhua, Ye Peng and Ye Qianbai looked at the breakfast on the table and felt that it looked extremely familiar.
When Ye Qianlan cooks, she always decorates the food with beautiful patterns, such as cats, dogs, birds, leaves, flowers, and anything she can think of. The food in front of her has these patterns, the chopped green onions on the rice porridge are leaves, the sesame seeds on the scallion pancakes are puppies, and the steamed dumplings are arranged in the shape of flowers.
The familiar breakfast brought back Shangguan Zhenhua's memories. How deliberate! This old woman was too deliberate!
It would be fine if he knew so many things, but he also put a lot of effort into food.
In order to enter Shangguan's house, she made thorough preparations!
"Why don't you eat? Don't you like it?" Seeing that they didn't move their chopsticks, the old woman said with some disappointment: "I see, you are still doubting me, right? Are you afraid that I will poison you?"
Ye Tang and the others didn't say anything, just looked at her.
The old woman suddenly looked sad: "I..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Shangguan Zhenhua picked up a bun, broke it open, and sniffed it carefully: "The fragrance of this bun really makes me miss it."
Although he said this, he did not eat it. He handed the bun to the old woman: "You eat first."
The old woman's tears instantly fell: "Husband, you...Okay, I'll eat it, I'll eat it all."
She took the bun and ate it, then drank the porridge. She ate all the food on the table.
"I've already eaten, do you still doubt me?" The old woman stood up angrily and said angrily: "I am very disappointed in you."
As soon as she finished speaking, her expression suddenly changed, and she felt a sharp pain in her stomach: "Ah! It hurts."
The nanny and the maid were startled and ran over: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Suddenly, their faces changed, they covered their stomachs, and looked extremely painful.
Nanny suddenly thought of something and pointed at Shangguan Zhenhua and the others and said, "It was you who poisoned us. Why did you want to harm us?"
Ye Tang sneered, "We should be the ones asking you this question. What is your purpose in pretending to be my dead grandmother and coming to my house?"
The old woman looked sad: "I am not a fake, why don't you believe me?"
Ye Peng looked at her coldly: "Because we don't believe that people can be resurrected from the dead. You look too much like my mother, as if you were twins. This resemblance is too deliberate!"
Xiao Jingxuan took out three ropes from somewhere, walked over, and wanted to tie up the three old women.
The old woman was furious: "Stop it! This is treason! You will regret it! I will never forgive you!"
When Xiao Jingxuan was tying them up, he suddenly turned around and pried open the nanny's mouth. A tiny insect hidden in the nanny's teeth flew out with a whoosh.
Xiao Jingxuan turned his body to the side and raised his hand, and a silver needle pierced the little bug.
"Gu!" The insect made a strange and harsh sound.
The expressions of the three old ladies changed slightly.
Ye Peng jumped up: "Finally the truth is revealed!"
The moment he finished speaking, he picked up a large bowl of hot porridge on the table and threw it at the old woman.
The old woman's expression changed drastically and she rolled on the ground to avoid the hot porridge.
The big bowl hit the ground and broke into pieces, and the hot porridge splashed all over the old woman.
All the kindness and compassion on the old woman's face disappeared, and her expression instantly became sinister.
"What on earth are you going to do?"
In response to her, Ye Peng overturned the table, and all the things on the table were thrown towards her.
The old woman had no time to be shocked. She quickly stepped back and subconsciously struggled to break free from the ropes on her body.
Shangguan Zhenhua watched her agile movements and said, "My wife doesn't know martial arts! Who are you? Tell the truth!"
Seeing that they were merciless, the three old ladies stopped pretending. The old lady laughed coldly, "I wanted to take it slow with you, but you insisted on tearing each other apart. Fine, then I will make you my puppets sooner rather than later!"
She raised her hand and sprinkled a bag of powder on Ye Tang and others.
At the moment when the powder obscured the vision of Ye Tang and the others, she moved towards Shangguan Zhenhua like a ghost, and a bug flew out of her hand and into Shangguan Zhenhua's ear.
call out!
A silver needle quickly pierced the little bug.
Before the old woman could be surprised, her stomach ached again. In the moment she was stunned, Shangguan Zhenhua kicked her away and she fell together with the nanny and the maid.
Only then did she realize that the nanny and the maid looked even more miserable than before.
The pain in her abdomen became more and more severe.
"Ah!" The old woman couldn't help but let out a scream.
Xiao Jingxuan stood in front of Shangguan Zhenhua with a cold expression, looking at the dying insect on the silver needle: "Poisonous insect?"
"As far as I know, Gu Masters were almost extinct during the war. In the world, only Penglai Country has Gu Masters. Are you from Penglai Country?"
The old woman looked painful and looked at Jamel Xiao in disbelief.
Shangguan Zhenhua, Ye Peng, Ye Qianbai, and Ye Ping'an were also extremely surprised when they heard the word "Gu Master".
"No, brother-in-law, what is a Gu Master? How do you know?"
Xiao Jingxuan said: "I heard my master mention it."
As he spoke, he raised his foot and stepped on a small insect that was secretly crawling towards Ye Tang. "The Gu Master is good at raising Gu insects and using them to control people. His ability to cast Gu is hard to guard against."
He looked at the old woman and said, "After taking your pulse yesterday, I found that your pulse was very normal. It was so normal that it was so strange that when I was sleeping, I kept thinking about your pulse and even had a nightmare. There were many insects in the dream."
"After waking up, I suddenly remembered the Gu technique that my master mentioned. It was recorded in his medical book. The content is not much, but it is just enough to let me understand what Gu poison is and what a Gu master is."
His expression turned cold again, and he shot out a silver needle, which brushed past Ye Ping'an's ear and hit a small insect in mid-air.
"Gu!" Another strange scream.
Xiao Jingxuan shot out five silver needles again, killing five poisonous insects.
The expressions of the three old ladies changed again and again.
"Who are you?"
Xiao Jingxuan is obviously just a prince. He knows martial arts and medical skills, but I have never heard that he knows witchcraft!
"You three are so stupid and bold that you dare to harm my family before you even figure out who I am."
Xiao Jingxuan snorted lightly, came over to the old women and took out the rope to tie them up again.
The three wanted to struggle, but found themselves powerless. The witchcraft they were so proud of was broken, and they could not use their martial arts.
Shangguan Zhenhua waved his hand and said, "Lock them up and interrogate them."
Acting is too tiring, it’s better to be direct and save time and effort.
