Chapter 110 Bloody Tea Room
The lunch was very sumptuous. There were 20 people in Mu Jiu's team, and there were nearly 30 dishes on the large round table.
They were all solid dishes, including crispy bamboo shoots and fried soft-shelled turtle, steamed sea bass, garlic shrimp, stir-fried eel, braised pork knuckle, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and red date and old duck soup...
Even Mu Jiu, who owns an island space, is envious. It’s great to eat by the river, with abundant supplies and a wide variety of options!
This is a natural benefit that Chenghuang Temple, located in the city center, cannot enjoy, so it has a significant advantage in terms of food.
After dinner, the little monk who was specially entrusted by Mu Jiu came back with good news.
The abbot has come out of seclusion. I heard that he is the representative of Chaoyang Base and asked Mu Jiu to come over.
Whether the abbot came out early or the box of Moutai played a role, no one would tell.
Originally, Mu Jiu's subordinates also wanted to go over to pay a visit, but they were stopped by the little monk.
"The base commander is very quiet. I only want to see your captain. The rest of you please rest here for a while!
If you are interested, you can play a few rounds of mahjong to kill time.
Our temple has its own independent power generation device, so the electric mahjong table can be used!"
Mu Jiu didn't care since people had said that. Even if something really happened, these subordinates wouldn't be able to help her much even if they went over.
After settling his men, Mu Jiu followed the young Taoist priest.
Passing through the lobby, along the corridor, across the grass, and around a bamboo forest...
In short, it took a long time to walk to where the director of Guiyuan Base was.
Mu Jiu was led by the little monk into a teahouse located in the middle of a small lotus pond. There was no one around the lotus pond.
The scenery should have been unique, but the closer Mu Jiu got to this place, the more gloomy the energy felt!
When the door of the tea room opened, Mu Jiu saw a monk wearing a white mask sitting opposite the tea table.
On the wall behind him hung a scroll of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara woven with gold thread.
On the tea table, there is a set of pure gold tea sets. The monk is making tea. It seems that this master likes gold very much.
Mu Jiu looked at the hands making tea. It seemed that the so-called abbot was just a man in his 30s, which was far from the stereotype of an old abbot.
"Please take a seat. I heard you're a distinguished guest from the City God Temple. Do you have something you'd like to discuss with me in person? I'm all ears."
Mu Jiu sat down and asked instead of directly stating his purpose:
"Why is the master talking with a mask on? Is there something hidden?"
Mu Jiu is not an impolite and domineering young lady.
But just before entering the door, he felt that the yin energy was too heavy, so he took out a piece of strange pupil talisman paper from the space and checked the surrounding situation.
You don’t know until you see it. This sight scared Mu Jiu so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The entire teahouse's outer wall and surroundings were covered in blood...
What was flowing in the middle of the lotus pond was no longer a clear spring, but dark red blood!
Even the eaves of the teahouse's roof were still dripping with bright red blood...
At that moment, Mu Jiu could almost smell the creepy fishy odor in the space.
But the strange thing was that when Mu Jiu put away his strange eyes, everything here returned to normal.
The breeze is floating, the lotus leaves are fragrant, fish are jumping on the water, and the footsteps can startle the croaking of frogs.
Mu Jiu activated his strange pupils again, and saw the horrifying scene again...
She was sure that this was not a visual illusion, it only meant that there was something wrong with this place or the person inside.
With such doubts, Mu Jiu asked directly without any hesitation.
The abbot lowered his head slightly and said:
“In the previous battle with the weirdo, I sustained a serious injury on my face, so I wear a mask.
You've been wearing it for quite some time now, so I think you wouldn't mind me talking to you like this, would you? "
Mu Jiu stared at his face for two seconds and said with a smile:
“Before the apocalypse, I was a Chinese medicine practitioner at the city hospital. If you need me, I can help you for free.
If you treat the symptoms correctly, you might be able to remove the scars!"
The reason why Mu Jiu said this was, of course, because her level 4 weird pupils couldn’t see through the face behind the mask!
Either this is a psychic above level four, or this is a person above her level... weird.
Mu Jiu clenched his fists.
But she checked carefully and found that the barrier of Guiyuan Temple had not changed at all. What was the problem?
"Those who cultivate cultivation do not care about their appearance. There is no need to trouble you with treatment. I wear a mask only to avoid scaring you."
As the master spoke, he pushed a golden cup filled with tea in front of Mu Jiu.
“Dear guest, please try this. This is the unique red Maojian tea of our temple, grown by the temple’s disciples themselves.
Now, let's get back to the point. Is there anything you would like to discuss with me in person?"
Mu Jiu looked at the cup of human blood in the golden cup under the strange eyes. The red against the gold was particularly dazzling, and white maggots kept swarming up and down...
It really lives up to its name.
Her brows furrowed slightly and then quickly smoothed out. She calmly picked it up and smelled it, then smiled and said:
"It smells so good! It's worthy of being a specialty of Guiyuan Temple!"
Then he slowly put down the golden cup and said, "I came here to discuss with the base commander about the alliance of all the major bases in Hui City to jointly clean up the strange things in the city.
In the past year, in addition to the continuous enhancement of human superpowers, strange forces have also gradually merged to form even more powerful monsters.
Moreover, the speed of strange swallowing and merging is faster than the speed at which human superpowers improve.
Within three years, the mysterious power will reach a point where humans can no longer contend with it, and perhaps even sooner than expected!
After careful discussion, we at Chaoyang Base have decided to destroy these strange forces before they merge and mature.
Give human survival a slight advantage.
I heard that Guiyuan Base experienced a strange and huge impact half a year ago. I believe that the master would have more experience in resisting strange pressures.
Guiyuan Base was the first one we visited, which fully represents our sincerity.
After all, with the participation of Hui City's largest and most powerful temple, the success rate of the joint counterattack will increase significantly."
While listening to Mu Jiu's words, the master's eyes were fixed on the golden cup in his hand, as if he was thinking about something.
After a long while, he raised his head and said with a smile:
“I need to think about this matter carefully and ask the opinions of other people in the base before making a decision.
After all, if you go out, you may lose your life at any time.
But, why don't you try our Red Maojian tea? Don't you like it?"
As the Mask Master spoke, his eyes suddenly turned to the golden cup in front of Mu Jiu.
Mu Jiu was startled by the question. She looked down and saw a small, white, sticky maggot crawling out of the golden cup, trying to burrow into her skin...
It was probably some kind of strange energy, my skin didn't feel anything at all!
Suddenly, a large area of dark green strange fire ignited around Mu Jiu's body, surrounding the entire tea room, and the maggot that crawled onto her hand instantly turned into ashes.
As the strange fire started, the walls of the tea room, which were originally wooden in color, immediately looked like human skin was burned.
Cracks appeared, and black and red pus and blood, as well as worms as thick as fingers, flowed out from inside.
These things were obviously not affected by Mu Jiu's fourth-level strange fire. They rolled twice in the fire and then rushed straight towards her!
