I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 434 Mr. Guanyi and his little game
The mysterious man's voice came from five or six steps away from her feet.

He stopped, as if waiting for Luo Qianhuai's reaction.

"So now, because of some special reason, you have changed your previous mind." She followed the other person's words and said.

"Clever." The man held his hands and chuckled. He didn't know what he did, but a little fire came out and gradually became brighter.

A red gauze cover was placed over the candle, held by a pair of pale and slender hands, and hung on a hook on the roof of the cabin.

Through the light, Luo Qianhuai could clearly see the appearance of the owner of those hands.

His face was pale and unremarkable, and he had an appearance that he couldn't even remember when he was among the crowd. He was black and had no beard, and his age was indistinguishable.

But what the man started to do next broke Luo Qianhuai's calmness.

The cabin is neither big nor small, and there are many bottles and cans inside. Luo Qianhuai was standing on a high wooden platform, and there were several strange-looking porcelain bottles placed beside him. The mouths were tightly plugged, so the contents could not be seen.

The man reached out and pulled out a twisting creature as long as a forearm from a huge jar in front of him.

The dim yellow light reflected the pale green body - it turned out to be a very rare two-tailed scorpion!

Although scorpions are also a kind of medicinal material, what Luo Qianhuai saw before were all prepared and he had never caught them personally. Now when he saw a living creature, it still looked so unusual, and he immediately gave it a big beating. of chills.

The man didn't notice this. He pinched the scorpion's head and neck with satisfaction, and squeezed it hard. The scorpion that had been jumping around immediately stopped moving.

The scorpion was thrown into the medicine mortar on the table and carefully pounded into paste with a stone pestle. The man had just opened other bottles and jars on the table, taking out colorful poisonous mushrooms or colorful poisonous insects from time to time, and put them all into the medicine mortar, pounding them to pieces.

The smell in the cabin was getting weirder and weirder, making people dizzy and almost nauseous.

Luo Qianhuai knew that he could not wait any longer.

"Sir, please continue to make medicine, but my daughter has something important to do, so I won't accompany you."

She had just stood up and wanted to get off the ground, but the touch of the soles prompted her to lift her feet back up again.

The ground was densely covered with snakes, large and small, no matter whether they were poisonous or not, and pairs of cold little eyes all fell on her.

Luo Qianhuai really felt numb in his heart and sore in his knees.

The man opposite sneered: "If you can really get out, I can still look up to you, and maybe I won't be able to bear to sacrifice you like this."

"So why did you go to all the trouble to bring me here?" Luo Qianhuai has decided to use the system to escape, so he is not afraid to ask a few more questions.

"A game." The man raised his head, with a hint of enthusiasm that Luo Qianhuai couldn't understand: "As long as I can win the game, I will have a chance to win the favor of my husband and become his disciple."

"Huh?" Luo Qianhuai looked at him, looking like a middle school student who had been brainwashed by a cult, and sighed secretly: "I wonder what kind of earth-shattering big shot the gentleman you mentioned is that makes you so attracted to him?"

The man glanced at her and suddenly smiled: "Young lady, do you really want to know?" "Yes." Luo Qianhuai nodded.

"In a short while, the game will begin. If you want to play, you will definitely die. I will not hesitate to fulfill your small wishes."

This man is really cruel and cruel, treating human life as nothing. And the person he can look up to is even less likely to be a good man or woman.

Luo Qianhuai was confident and showed no fear on his face. When he fell in the eyes of that person, he felt even more appreciative.

"Only when you are in a state of death can you see a person's true courage. The young lady can look down on life and death at such a young age. This is already the only time I have seen someone in her life. If it were not necessary, I really can't bear to let you go like this. ”

After all, I still have to send myself to death. Luo Qianhuai rolled his eyes: "Stop chatting, let's talk about who that person is."

"The young lady is not a gangster." The man looked at her clothes and had his own opinion: "So you probably haven't heard of Mr. Yi, right?"

Luo Qianhuai shook his head. She originally thought she had a good understanding of the affairs in the Jianghu. Meng Juxia, the leader of the knights in the world, was sailing on the East China Sea, and the young master Jieyou, who was generous in righteousness and wealth, had already washed his hands in a golden basin. She has met three of the four major sword sects, and even she herself vaguely bears the brand new name of the fifth sword sect - but she has never heard of Mr. Guanyi.

"The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is ninety-nine." The man said: "The way of heaven is not infinite, so one needs to be hung to show its shortcomings. The other thousands of ways are all in his heart."

That's not a bad tone, but sometimes manpower is exhausted. Who dares to say that one can exhaust all the knowledge in the world?

A truly talented scholar cannot be so proud, so this person is probably a liar. Luo Qianhuai's heart dropped slightly.

She did not hide her suspicion: "Have you personally tested that gentleman?"

"Although I didn't take action personally, my enemy in the past poisoned him face to face. Sir, he was unharmed, but my enemy was killed on the spot." The man's face was full of fascination: "So sir, in the poison technique, I must have reached the pinnacle. If I can worship the door wall, what I have learned will shine brightly.”

"So what is the game that your Excellency just mentioned?" Luo Qianhuai was already a little impatient. He just wanted to end this conversation as soon as possible and stay away from this poisonous magician with evil views.

"Mr. Guaichi comes out every three years, recruiting disciples with open doors and walls. Each time, a game is used to replace the test questions. This year is also the case, the questions were just released today - each of them finds a puppet to replace themselves and persist until the end. The three who survive can be accepted as outer disciples; and the one who persists to the end can become an internal disciple."

Luo Qianhuai heard something different: "The questions were just released today, so when will the competition be arranged?"

"Soon." The man glanced at her with a faint smile and said warmly: "It's Yinshi today, only half an hour left from now."

"Shouldn't you start preparing for such a big thing early?" Luo Qianhuai was not prepared to accompany him, so he simply acted like he was willing to accept his fate and thought about the other party along the way: "Why did you pick up the Buddha at the end of Linqiu? Are you looking for a little girl like me who doesn’t know anything?”

"You don't understand this. Mr. Guaichi said it before when he put the question. The person who acts as a puppet this year must be a stranger who is not familiar with him at all. Otherwise, he will be regarded as an active abandonment. Not only will he not be selected, but he may also be punished. punish."

"Is this a stranger? Could it be that Mr. Guanyi can tell?" Luo Qianhuai found it a bit strange.

"Sir, he is a scholar of heaven. He said he could tell the difference, so he couldn't hide it." The man shook his head and sighed, poured the purple-red paste in the medicine mortar into a bowl, and walked to Luo Qianhuai:

"If you have any other wishes, you can tell them now. If you can help me achieve my wish, I am not a stingy person."
