The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#131 - nightingale

Chapter 131 Nightingale

According to Lu Jing's original estimate, the coffin was at most less than five feet from the ground.

This height… Even for ordinary people, falling down would only cause a slight pain in the buttocks.

Lu Jing thought so, but his expression soon changed.

Because he discovered that after five feet, the coffin did not touch the ground. On the contrary, it continued to fall, and its speed became faster and faster under the action of gravity!

Twenty feet!

Fifty feet!

One hundred feet!

Lu Jing heard Yang Tao's screams from ahead.

Obviously, Yang Tao also realized that this height was a little abnormal.

However, now it was difficult for the two people in the coffin to make any effective self-rescue actions.

In addition to the old zombie's previous instructions, Lu Jing finally chose to continue lying in his willow coffin.

In a short while, he and the coffin had fallen another two hundred feet.

Lu Jing could already hear the whistling wind outside the coffin!

And Yang Tao's screams became more and more desperate.

This loyal young man obviously thought of the scene of himself being smashed to pieces after landing.

At such a height, as long as it was a body of flesh and blood, no matter how high the martial arts were, it would be useless and would definitely be smashed into meat paste.

In fact, he could no longer imagine any way to survive.

However, at the next moment, Yang Tao's screams suddenly disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jing felt that the speed of his coffin falling was gradually slowing down.

Newton certainly couldn't explain this kind of thing.

But Lu Jing had seen a similar scene in He Qing's notes before, so he was not too surprised.

After a few more breaths, the speed of the coffin falling had dropped to a safe range.

Lu Jing's previously suspended heart also dropped a lot.

However, just when he thought he would land smoothly, the coffin suddenly hit something.

Lu Jing inside was also shaken violently.

Fortunately, his internal strength was deep enough to resolve most of the force, and then the coffin fell heavily on the ground.

Lu Jing reached out and pushed open the coffin lid on his head and sat up from inside.

When he saw the scene outside, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Now he was actually in a tailor shop, with shop assistants and several women buying clothes, all looking at him with horror, and looking at their clothes, they were not Chen Dynasty people at all.

More like the common people of a small country in the Western Regions.

Lu Jing also looked up at the roof and saw the big hole that he had just smashed out. He could understand what these people were afraid of.

After all, who would see a coffin falling from the sky while buying clothes, and people crawling out of it, would feel a little horrified.

Especially the woman who was holding the cloth and gesturing on her body, thinking that if she had taken one more step, she would have been directly crushed by the coffin, she rolled her eyes and fainted.

So Lu Jing could only turn his gaze to another younger woman behind her and said, "Excuse me, I want to ask something. Before me, did you see another coffin?"

As a result, before he could finish speaking, the women in the store seemed to have received some signal, and without bothering to buy any clothes, they all threw down the things in their hands and fled the tailor shop.

It seemed as if they were afraid that if they took a step later, they would be eaten by Lu Jing.

Lu Jing initially thought it was because he was sitting in the coffin, but soon he saw a woman who looked like a shopkeeper rushing out from the inner room.

The first thing she saw was not Lu Jing in the coffin, but the big hole in the roof.

When she saw the big hole, her expression suddenly changed, she stomped her feet and shouted something to the shop assistant who was stunned.

The shop assistant then woke up from his dream and plunged into the warehouse.

Then the female shopkeeper looked at Lu Jing again. She was also a little nervous, but she still tried her best to say in Chinese, "You… you are from that place?"

"That place?" Lu Jing raised his eyebrows.

"It's… the place that specializes in solving troubles for us. They said their people would come, in the near future," the female shopkeeper gestured, "With a sign."

"Are you talking about this?" Lu Jing took out the wooden sign from his body.

"That's right," the female shopkeeper's eyes lit up, "You are the one who came to save us."

And just after she finished saying this, she saw the shop assistant running out of the warehouse again.

Holding a piece of wood in his hand, wanting to block the big hole in the roof.

But after comparing it, he found that the size of the wooden board was not enough to block the big hole, so his expression became pale again, and he couldn't help but shiver.

The female shopkeeper's face was also very ugly.

Lu Jing said at this time, "Do you want to block that hole?"

"That's right," the female shopkeeper nodded, "As soon as possible, because it's going to be dark soon."

"This is simple." Lu Jing reached out and picked up the coffin lid on the ground.

… … … …

Si Tian Jian. Third floor of the Star Gazing Tower.

A middle-aged man in field clothes was drinking and playing chess, but his opponent was a little strange.

The other side of the chessboard was a stone wall, and a black figure on the stone wall sat facing the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man stared at the chessboard in front of him and pondered for a long time before twisting a white piece and carefully placing it in the corner of the chessboard.

The black figure on the stone wall hardly thought about it, as if he had guessed that he would place it there, and reached out and pointed to another place on the chessboard.

The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly when he saw this, and he obviously realized the power of this step.

Then he took a black piece from the chess pot, preparing to put the shadow on the stone wall where it pointed, but at the last moment, he suddenly moved it up one grid and quickly dropped it.

Then he hurriedly grabbed his white piece and freed the corner that he was trapped below.

The black figure on the stone wall seemed to be used to his shameless behavior. Seeing this, he was not angry, and pointed to another place where the two sides were still fighting, intending to eat the white piece there.

So the joy on the middle-aged man's face flashed by, and he frowned again.

There was no way, the chess skills of that bastard on the stone wall were too powerful. Even if he pretended to be dizzy and stole a step, the hope of winning this game was still slim.

At this moment, a nightingale flew in from outside the window, circling the middle-aged man twice, until the latter stretched out a hand, the nightingale landed in the middle-aged man's palm.

The middle-aged man used his other hand to untie the note tied to the nightingale's leg and glanced at it casually.

"Well, two more newcomers have come to participate in the assessment, and have passed through [Well] to the [Trial Realm]. One is someone valued by Wu Chen, and the other is… chosen by Kui? That's rare."

The middle-aged man啧啧 (zézé - a sound of disapproval or amazement) said, "Lu Jing, this name feels familiar, let's see… how many days can he last."
