Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 340 Distress
Li Yuanfang stood in the pharmacy and looked around. There were strips of large cloths of various colors hanging on the four walls, very similar to the layout in the Yuelai Inn just now.

Li Yuanfang felt a little strange, and looked intently at the cloth. The names of hundreds of herbs were painted on the big cloth; the big cloth on the opposite wall had portraits of Shennong, Sun Simiao, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Ge Hong and others painted on it.

The design is not unsophisticated, but it always makes people feel that it is quite incongruous with the environment of this pharmacy.

Li Yuanfang felt a little uneasy in his heart, he turned his head and looked at the counter.

Behind the counter is a huge medicine cabinet. The medicine cabinet seems to be uneven and a little skewed.

Li Yuanfang's eyes swept over inadvertently, and finally landed on Hua Tuo's portrait.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up and lifted one side of the big cloth, revealing a large black thing hidden behind.

Li Yuanfang walked quickly to the side of the portrait, stretched out his hand to lift up the big cloth, and a poisonous python carved out of a huge round wood came into view, and those blood-red eyes emitted a strange light.

It is the mark of "snake spirit"!

Li Yuanfang gasped and took two steps back.

Suddenly, he jumped up and walked around the room like a big bird. He kept pulling with both hands, and tore apart the big cloth on the wall one by one in an instant.

Sure enough, behind each piece of cloth was hidden a "snake spirit" logo.

Li Yuanfang finally understood that these large cloths were set up to cover the "Snake Spirit" sign in the house.

He turned around abruptly.

At some point, the pharmacy clerk stood quietly behind the counter and looked at him.

Li Yuanfang took a deep breath and asked word by word: "What is this place?"

There was a sinister smile on the guy's face: "Welcome to the 'Snake Spirit' main altar!"

Li Yuanfang took two steps back in shock.

Suddenly, there was a loud "click" sound in his ear, and Li Yuanfang was startled. When he turned his head, the door of the pharmacy was closed. When he turned his head again, the clerk in front of the counter had disappeared.

……

In the inn, after Li Yuanfang left, Ruyan sat alone in the inn room, thinking quietly, suddenly she raised her head, and murmured: "No, no! How could there be such a town in this deep mountain?" Dian..."

She jumped up suddenly, ran to Jin Wenzhong's side, quickly wrapped the cloth around her, then lifted him up vigorously, and rushed towards the door with him on her shoulders.

"Crack"!
Ruyan looked back, and saw that an iron plate had fallen above the window, sealing it tightly.

Ru Yan turned around and ran out of the door, there was another loud noise, and an iron plate above the door fell straight down, cutting towards Ru Yan.

Ruyan jumped back, and the iron plate fell to the ground, sealing the door.

The room was suddenly pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.

"Crack"!a soft sound.

Huo Zhe lit up, Ruyan held Huo Zhe high and looked around in horror, the surroundings were dead silent.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the ground, followed by the ground of the guest room trembling violently, Ruyan opened her mouth wide in surprise.

As the roaring sound from the ground grew louder, the whole room fell down like an elevator, at a faster and faster speed, Ruyan let out a scream, and the fire fell to the ground.

There was a loud "click", and the room stopped falling.

Ruyan raised her head in horror, reached out and picked up the fire on the ground to light it up, gently lifted it up, and looked around.

Suddenly, the house shook for a while, and then, white smoke sprayed out from the roof. Ruyan was startled and raised her head. In the blink of an eye, the smoke filled the whole room.

Ruyan felt dizzy, her body swayed and fell to the ground.

……

In the pharmacy, Li Yuanfang looked around in surprise.

Suddenly there was an earth-shattering loud noise, and the ground trembled.

On the opposite side, two huge medicine cabinets swayed and collapsed, revealing the huge poisonous python logo hidden behind.

Li Yuanfang pulled out the steel knife, calmed down his emotions, and stood quietly in the middle of the room.

The sound became louder and louder, and the huge python heads on the four walls slowly opened their bloody mouths.

"boom"!
A piece of steel thorn shot out from the python's mouth, and it came straight to Li Yuanfang.

Li Yuanfang jumped up, using his feet on the wall again and again, and his body kept flying in the air. The steel spikes whizzed past his feet and nailed to the walls on all sides.

Suddenly there was a "click", and Li Yuanfang looked up to the roof: rows of iron pipes with the thickness of cup rims popped out from the beams of the house, spraying out streams of hot oil, pouring directly on the top of Li Yuanfang's head.

Li Yuanfang was shocked, and jumped back, dodging the sudden attack.

"boom"!
There was another loud noise, and a bunch of steel spikes spewed out from the python's mouth, and it went straight to Li Yuanfang.

Li Yuanfang's feet slid with the hot oil on the ground, and his body turned quickly. He swung the steel knife in his hand, and the sound of "clinking" continued, and the steel spikes scattered and flew.

Li Yuanfang was quick to wit, and his body quickly fell down, lying on the ground, and the steel spikes whizzed past his body.

He slammed the steel knife in his hand on the ground again, and his body slid to the wall as if flying.

This is a blind spot that the steel thorns cannot reach.

He pressed his finger on the handle of the knife, and the chain knife flew out and inserted into the python's mouth, only to hear a scream from the python's mouth, and the spray of steel thorns stopped immediately.

Li Yuanfang drew the chain knife back with a flash-like speed, and swiftly flew the chain knife to the second, third, and fourth python's mouth.

There were endless screams, and strands of blood flowed out of the python's mouth.

……

With a click, as the iron plates that closed the doors and windows opened, the door opened, and a pair of feet walked in slowly...

The town, which was very lively just now, is now empty, and those bustling people seem to have evaporated in an instant.

Only the wind whistled through the empty streets with a piercing cry.

With a loud sound of broken boards, the doors of the pharmacy flew in all directions, Li Yuanfang strode out, he was stunned by the scene in front of him, suddenly, he jumped up and ran towards the Yuelai inn.

The inn was empty, with steaming meals on the table, but the guests had disappeared.

Li Yuanfang's eyes fell on the red wine flag on the wall.

He quickly stepped forward and ruthlessly tore off the big cloth, and sure enough there was a "snake spirit" logo hidden behind it.

He quickly ran to the guest room upstairs, there was no Ruyan or Hui Wenzhong in the room!
Li Yuanfang took a deep breath and looked around. Everything in the house was intact and there was no sign of a fight. Even the pens and inkstones on the table were placed in the same place as before he left.

He turned and walked out the door.

There was a deathly silence in the street.

Li Yuanfang's eyes scanned around alertly.

Suddenly, the doors of shops on both sides of the street opened wide.

When the strong wind blows, a wall of sand is blown up, and there is chaos between the sky and the earth.

Li Yuanfang raised his head and looked towards the end of the street. A figure slowly walked out of the sandy mist.

Li Yuanfang's hand stretched out from behind, and there was a steel knife in his palm.

The figure got closer and closer, and stopped ten steps away from Li Yuanfang.

This person wears a crown of teeth, a mask on his face, and a blue wide-sleeved gown with bronzing gilt edges, exactly the same as that of the "viper" Hu Jinghui back then!
