Chapter 3 Weird
At dusk, the golden crow fell west.
The setting sun shines, Chang'an is bathed in the rays of light.
Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong!
The drum sounded from the Second Tong Street outside Chengtian Gate, and the Imperial City Palace Gate and the left and right Yanming Gate also began to close in turn.
Located in Da'anfang on the side of Yong'an Canal, located in the south of Chang'an City, there was a busy scene. Everyone knew that the night ban on Chang'an would start after the drums of Liubaitong Street ended. Therefore, merchants were preparing to close the doors, and Fangding and Wuhou also began to patrol the houses. The gates on both sides also began to clean up people entering and leaving the doors. Once the drums ended, the gates would close.
Su Dawei squatted on a low wall at the intersection of the street, motionless.
Not far away is Yong'an Canal.
There was a restaurant beside the Qu, and the waiter was in a panic and put away the wine banner, then hung two lanterns on the door.
After hanging up the lantern, the waiter took off the towel from his shoulder, shook it twice, and turned around and walked into the store.
More than a dozen men in black walked out of the streets and alleys and quickly approached the wine shop.
Bang!
There was a loud bang.
The window lattice of the winery was broken.
A figure flew out of the restaurant and fell heavily to the ground. It was the waiter who had previously hung lanterns.
Seeing this, the man in black was startled and immediately heard someone shouting loudly; "Run in, don't leave the thief."
Before he finished speaking, a strong man had already rushed out of the restaurant.
He held a slight dagger of seven feet long, and blood was still flowing from the blade. The afterglow of the sunset shone on the knife, reflecting a strange red light.
After rushing out of the restaurant, the man turned around and ran towards the alley.
More than a dozen men in black shouted at the same time and rushed up to stop him.
But the strong man was very fierce. Facing the man in black coming towards him, he was calm and stepped forward, and swept across the army with one move. The weight of the Mo Dao was at least twenty kilograms, but in the hands of the strong man, it was as light as a lamp grass. Where the Mo Dao's blade passed, it made a sharp roar through the air, as fast as lightning, leaving a faint afterimage.
The man in black who was rushing towards him quickly raised his sword to greet him. With a clang sound, the horizontal knife in his hand actually broke open.
If he hadn't reacted quickly and quickly took a step and dodged, he would have been blown open by the Mo Dao.
The strong man didn't speak. After a knife was lost, he stepped on the Nine Palace Step and slashed out with another knife with his backhand.
The two men in black quickly dodged and revealed a gap.
In the blink of an eye, the strong man jumped out of the encirclement of the man in black and rushed into a small alley next to him.
"Chase!"
The man in black shouted loudly and followed him up.
At this time, Su Dawei also jumped off the wall.
He quickly walked to the door of the restaurant and slowly pulled his sword out of the sheath.
The horizontal knife is about three feet long and the body of the knife is covered with patterns like cloud talismans.
Su Dawei stepped into the wine shop, and a smell of blood rushed towards him.
He frowned slightly and his eyes swept across the winery.
Three bodies fell in a pool of blood, two guests dressed up by Hu, and one of them, the clothes should be the shopkeeper of the restaurant.
Su Dawei walked up carefully and turned over a Hu man's body.
There was a blood hole the size of a palm in Hu's chest, which looked shocking.
There was a look of surprise on his face. It was obvious that before he died, he was not prepared at all.
The other corpse was lying on its back, with blood on its chest.
He held the hilt of the knife in one hand and pulled out half of the scimitar at his waist.
The murderer took action so quickly that he was killed without reacting.
Su Dawei walked to the shopkeeper's body with his lips pursed. Suddenly, he took a step back, waved his knife and slashed at the body.
It was a while since then, but the body suddenly rolled up and rose from the pool of blood.
A cold light flew out and stabbed Su Dawei.
Su Dawei flashed his feet, and wiped the horizontal knife in his hand, slashing hard on the shopkeeper's shoulder.
The horizontal knife penetrated into the shopkeeper's body, and a cloud-like light flashed across the blade. The shopkeeper made a shrill scream. The scream was not like a human voice, but even more like a ghost crying and howling. Immediately afterwards, the shopkeeper's body fell to the ground, and his body was as if it was a deflated ball, and it quickly shriveled, leaving only a pair of skin in the blink of an eye.
A black air flew out of the shopkeeper's body.
"Damn bad guy, how dare I ruin my good things."
A hoarse voice came from the black gas, and in an instant, the black gas surged, turning into a ball of black smoke, rolling continuously.
A strange smile appeared on Su Dawei's face.
"I knew it was you strange things."
He sneered: "Shopkeeper Lu's Yong'an Chun is known for his mellow taste, but since a month ago, his Yong'an Chun has changed its taste. It's spicy and slightly bitter in the mouth, and it's no different from ordinary bad wines. Since then, I have suspected that something happened to Manager Lu. However, I'm a little curious. How did you see that Shisanlang has a problem?"
"That idiot, who is too lazy to die on weekdays, but today he is extremely fast and takes the initiative to hang lanterns."
He said in a hoarse voice: "So I knew that he must be weird."
"That's a pity!"
Su Dawei showed regret and said, "Tell me, what is the purpose of buying those items that flowed out of the palace?"
"This, you'd better go to the Hall of Hell to ask the King of Hell."
The black smoke roared, and then turned into a black wolf and pounced on Su Dawei.
Su Dawei put away his smile on his face and slashed at the black wolf with a horizontal knife in his hand.
The blade looked at the black wolf, but it seemed to be chopping into a ball of cotton. The black wolf turned into a ball of black smoke and spread rapidly along Su Dawei's arm, wrapping Su Dawei's body in the blink of an eye.
"Since you have destroyed my body, give me your body."
Su Dawei's body suddenly froze.
He wanted to shake off the black smoke from his body, but his body could not move.
The black smoke penetrated into his body from his pores. Suddenly, the hoarse voice let out a shrill scream.
"Tenggen's Eyes? You are obviously a mortal, how could you have Tenggen's Eyes?"
As the screams rang out, a red line suddenly appeared between Su Dawei's eyes.
The red line slowly cracked and formed a gap. At first glance, it looked like another eye grew between Su Dawei's eyes.
"Give me aside, please spare me once, I can give you all my collection."
Su Dawei opened his mouth, as if he wanted to speak, but he couldn't make a sound.
The gap between the eyes became larger and larger, and the black smoke quickly dissipated, turning into a black gas and sank into the red line.
Su Dawei opened his eyes wide, and his body seemed to be exhausted, and he suddenly sat on the floor.
The eye between the eyes slowly closed, turned into a red line, and then disappeared.
"Ami, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Liang rushed in from outside and saw Su Dawei sitting in a pool of blood. He hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
At this time, a man in his early thirties walked in from outside the tavern.
After entering the room, he glanced at it and landed on the body with only skin left on the floor.
"Su Dawei, what's going on?"
Su Dawei coughed and finally recovered.
"Tao Wei, I just came in to check the body, and I saw that the body of Manager Lu's body turned into this.
I walked up to check it out, but I didn't want a black air to fly out of his body..."
"Shut up!"
Wei Tou hurriedly stopped Su Dawei, walked forward quickly, and checked Manager Lu's body.
After a while, he stood up and said, "It was obvious that Manager Lu colluded with the thief. Seeing that the matter was exposed, he committed suicide."
He looked at Su Dawei and frowned slightly.
"This matter must not be mentioned to anyone. If there is any leak of the news, you will only ask."
Before Su Dawei could speak, Zhou Liang hurriedly said, "I understand that it was Manager Lu who colluded with the thief, who committed suicide after the matter was exposed."
Wei Tou's face calmed down a little.
"Su Dawei was injured in arresting the thief, so let's go back and rest first.
You will take a break tomorrow, so you don’t have to come to the yamen again. Zhou Liang, do you understand if you send him back?"
"clear."
At this time, footsteps came from outside the wine shop.
Zhou Liang winked at Su Dawei, helped him up and walked out slowly.
"Second brother, what's going on?"
"Old Wei missed his arrest just now and injured several brothers."
"Then Shopkeeper Lu..."
"He wants to use Manager Lu to submit the service, so let's stop paying attention."
Zhou Liang said, lowering his voice in Su Dawei's ear: "It's about weirdness, you can interfere. If you don't want to get involved in this kind of thing... We can't even care about living people, let alone those weirdnesses that are not human."
When Su Dawei heard this, he closed his mouth.
"It's a pity that Manager Lu was taken away by strangely, not only did he even have to bear the charge of colluding with a thief and stealing the palace items."
"Yes, it's really unlucky."
Zhou Liang nodded with a bitter smile and helped Su Dawei walk out of the Da'anfang Gate.
Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongji, the sound of street drums sounded again.
The Chang'an city gates also began to close one by one.
"Then... should you still investigate those stolen items?"
"It's about weirdness, and I'll investigate it."
"That's a pity!"
"What a pity? If you encounter strange things, you can live. Don't force yourself. You forgot that accident last year, you almost lost your life. Cherish your life and stay away from strange things... Next time, you may not have such a good life."
