Chapter 9: The Poison Saint
When Dan Qianzi, the head of the Wusha Gate, led the three disciples to the residence of the Poison Saint, he also sent someone to bring the "Barbarian Testament" about the history of the Yun Kingdom stored in the Wusha Gate to Li Zixu, the king of Yun.
Li Zixu received the "Wild Testament" and opened it with curiosity, but he was extremely disappointed - the words on the book were not at all what he could recognize. He immediately summoned the scholars in Yunguo and asked them to translate the words in the book, but none of those who were rich in learning could understand the content of the book, only a person with white hair, remembering that this script should be the script of the ancient period, that is, this would be the earliest script of mankind. And three thousand years have passed since the birth of mankind, and in three thousand years, writing has changed dramatically. In other words, there are very few people in the world who can know the contents of the book.
The only person in the city who has a fog brake is the god of the kitchen. He knew that King Yun was having trouble translating the "Wild Testament", and suddenly thought of a great calligrapher who came out of the Kingdom of Yun, who was called "the saint of calligraphy" by the world. The sage was well-read and knew all kinds of rare words, and perhaps he could translate the contents of the book. It just so happened that King Yun issued a recruitment order to find exorcists, and the Book Saint was exactly the talent they needed. The god of the kitchen brought the information of finding the Book Saint to his fellow disciples outside the frontier, and asked them to hurry up to find the Book Saint.
After the Shusheng failed to compete for the quenching bead from Jiufeng Mountain, he traveled in the world again, and if he wanted to find him, he would not be able to find him for a while. As for Dan Qianzi, he knew the location of the Poison Saint, because the Poison Saint had also been under the surveillance of the Fog Gate. Soon, they came to a remote mountain village in the southwest of the Cloud Country, where the Poison Saint Kurke Black Scorpion lived in seclusion.
In this mountain that rises and falls, there is actually a secret passage to Yongguo. The Poison Saint Black Scorpion is the leader of the Gu Poison Sect, and the location of their sect is on the other side of the mountain. This secret path was also known to the Gu Poison Sect Masters for generations, and when they used it, it also meant that there was a situation in their own survival. At that time, the poisonous sword Mu Ru was the key training object of the black scorpion, and it was also his killer weapon, allowing him to kill in all directions in Yongguo and be invincible. Mu Ruxian has always had Gu worms in his body, and those Gu worms are under his control, so Mu Ruxian will not have the heart to resist him. However, after Mu Ru first met the Sword Saint, and then after he met the Medical Saint, the situation changed.
Through his own medical skills, Yi Shenghua Rejuvenation weakened the Gu worms in Mu Ruxian's body and weakened the Gu worms' control over him. Gu worms have already coexisted with Mu Ruxian's internal organs, so there is no cure for the medical saint, unless Mu Ruxian's entire body is replaced. If he really did this, Mu Ruxian would no longer be able to use the ability of the poison sword.
After Mu Ruxian was healed by the Healer, he returned to the Gu Poison Sect in order to take revenge. He was unstoppable in the Gu Poison Sect, and he killed all the members of the Gu Poison Sect, leaving only the Kurk Black Scorpion alone. When the black scorpion blew the flute to control the Gu worms, and Mu Ruxian did not react, the black scorpion knew that he was more than lucky. In order to cultivate Mu Ruxian, the poison saint fed him with various poisons and poisonous insects since he was a child, and also let him soak in poisonous water all day long. Any move used by the Poison Saint was innate immune to Mu Ruxian and would not have any effect. When the donkey's skills were exhausted, the black scorpion could only escape and use the secret passage to escape to the cloud country. Before escaping, he was seriously injured by Mu Ruxian, and after escaping from the secret passage to Yunguo, he fainted in the mountains and forests, but fortunately he was rescued by the villagers in the mountains. At that time, the people in the cottage did not know that they had rescued a big poison, which used to be a wicked person who killed people without blinking, and was more poisonous than a poisonous scorpion.
Qiu Guying is the person who lives in this cottage, and the village is called Tata Village. When he saw the villagers carrying a foreigner into the village, he also found that the person's body was almost full of viruses, but the poison did not seem to have any side effects on him. Qiu Guying went out of the village to call Dan Qianzi, the head of the Wusha Gate, to come and see who this person was. As soon as Qiu Guying left the village, the poisonous saint black scorpion woke up.
After the black scorpion woke up, he didn't know where he was, and guessed that he should be in the deep mountains of the Cloud Kingdom, and it was impossible for Mu Ru to chase after him first. The people in the village were very enthusiastic, and when they saw that he was injured, they first gave him medicine, and then told him in an awkward voice that he had too many chronic poisons and Gu worms in his body, and they could help get rid of the poison.
At that time, the black scorpion laughed, laughing at the ignorance of the group. The poison and Gu worms in his inner body were all carefully cultivated by him and deliberately put into his body, and there was no way to expel them from his body. Moreover, the black scorpion is also very similar to Mu Ruxian, and his blood is also poisonous. When the villagers healed him and came into contact with the poisonous blood, he would probably die soon. Although it was the villagers who saved him, the scorpion would not be grateful. After so many years in the Gu Poison Sect, ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness were the only things he had learned.
The fact surprised him, so the villagers who rescued him, after close contact with him, none of them were poisoned. The black scorpion curiously asked the villagers why they were not poisoned, and the villagers told him that the mountain was full of poisonous insects and snakes, and that many plants and mushrooms were poisonous. Living in this environment for hundreds of years, they have developed the ability to distinguish all kinds of poisons, and at the same time, they have learned how to fight poison with poison. The use of one poison to contain another poison achieves the purpose of healing. Over time, their immunity is amazing, and even if they are poisoned, they can quickly find healing herbs. In the eyes of the Kurk black scorpion, this group of people in the mountains seemed to be doctors.
The Poison Saint himself also has regrets, because he has heard the name of the Doctor Saint for a long time, and he has always wanted to distinguish the winner from the other party to decide whether the medical skills are superb or the poison is superior. Now that I am in the deep mountains and old forests, I realize that I am still far away from the world.
The poison saint will not harm the villagers, and it can be regarded as being simply infected by the villagers, so he decided to stay here to live, and at the same time devote himself to learning poison arts. A few days later, Dan Qianzi came to Tata Village and met the poisonous saint black scorpion who had already lived with the villagers.
The black scorpion was nearly fifty years old at the time, and there were many uneven wrinkles on its face because of the Gu worms under its skin. The hair is gray and looks old. He had already thrown away the clothes of the Gu Poison Sect, changed into the same clothes as the local villagers, and had just gone up the mountain with the villagers to pick edible mushrooms, and when he returned to the village, he met Dan Qianzi.
The Poison Saint had heard of the Fog Brake Gate, but it was also the first time he had seen the head of the Fog Brake Gate. The two heads also met for the first time, and they didn't know how to speak for a while. But the poison saint has no ambition, at least he still thinks that he has not learned enough, and when he does not make a comeback, he also takes the initiative to tell Dan Qianzi about his past.
After some telling, Dan Qianzi understood the ins and outs, and knew that the Poison Saint Black Scorpion had been exterminated by the disciples of the sect and fled here. If the black scorpion is a dangerous person and will pose a threat to the cloud kingdom in the future, Dan Qianzi can start now and get rid of the black scorpion first. However, the black scorpion has already integrated with the people in the village, and when Dan Qianzi and the black scorpion talked, many people listened to the outside of the wooden house. If Dan Qianzi had said to get rid of the black scorpion at that time, there would definitely be many people who would have objected.
The black scorpion is also very knowledgeable, he knows that he can't make a comeback at the moment, every villager here is his teacher, and he won't hurt his teacher. He also promised Dan Qianzi, since he lived in Yun Country and received the blessing of Yun Country, he could promise Dan Qianzi one thing in the future, and go to the soup for him, which can be regarded as a favor to repay Yun Guo. But after he repays the favor, he will leave here.
This day is finally coming.
Dan Qianzi walked to Tata Village under the leadership of Qiu Guying. This road is not easy to walk, there are poisonous insects and poisonous flowers that cannot be touched with hands, and it is difficult for them to walk safely to the village without Qiu Guying to lead the way. As soon as I entered the village, it was as peaceful as ever. The roads are not good, the connection between each village and the state is not very tight, and even though the country is now on first-level alert, it is still a paradise. The people in the village didn't know that in a few days, a demon army would invade here.
As soon as Qiu Guying arrived at the gate of the village, he saw several familiar villagers in the past and was immediately warmly welcomed. There are already few people in the village, and it is very happy to see a young man come back, even if he is not related to him. After greeting, Qiu Guying asked the villagers the location of the black scorpion, and the villagers told him that the black scorpion was growing vegetables in the mountains behind the original residence.
A generation of poison saints is actually planting vegetables, and it also makes the people of the fog brake door sigh that time can really smooth out a lot of things. If the poison saint had already lived a comfortable life like a mountain villager, would he choose to go out of the mountain with them to help the country fight against the demons?
They came to the house where the black scorpion lived, and were about to walk to the mountain behind the house, but they happened to meet the black scorpion returning from collecting vegetables. He was still holding a tall green vegetable in his hand, and when he saw Dan Qianzi, he seemed to understand a lot of things in an instant, and beckoned them to go into the house.
After the black scorpion walked into the house, he put the green vegetables in his hand on the stove, and Dan Qianzi and the others followed into the house. When they entered the house, the black scorpion said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll cook first, and I'll talk about it when I'm done." ”
The ignorant Inuya said, "I'm not a vegetarian, do you have meat?"
The nine chains on the side pushed Inuya's head and signaled him to talk more. The black scorpion smiled and said, "There is also meat, bats and toads, do you eat it?"
As soon as he heard that he was going to eat bats and toads, Inuya naturally lost his appetite. He told the head that he went up the mountain to find food, and Qiu Guying advised him not to go up the mountain alone, otherwise he would not come back alive. He led Inuya and Kulian to his hometown for dinner, leaving Dan Qianzi and Black Scorpion there alone.
After the black scorpion finished cooking, he sat on the table with Dan Qianzi, did not speak, and ate separately. After eating the meal, the black scorpion cleaned up the plate, brought a pot of tea, and poured a cup for Dan Qianzi, like a happy old man, contented. Before Dan Qianzi drank it, the poison saint also said to him: "That tea is brewed with poisonous leaves, and a mouthful of the body will be itchy and unbearable, and a few more sips will cause pustus sores to grow everywhere on the body, do you dare to drink it?"
Dan Qianzi glanced at the tea in his life, didn't think too much, tasted it, then opened his mouth and sighed: "Good tea!"
The black scorpion laughed, and then took a sip of his own. Dan Qianzi said: "The tea you dare to give people to drink will naturally not be poisonous tea." ”
The black scorpion put down the teacup in his hand and said, "It was originally poisonous, but adding a little petals of Linglong grass to the water can neutralize the poison of the poisonous leaves." Linglong grass is also a kind of poison, but it is neutralized with the attribute of poisonous leaves, which is really wonderful. The two looked at each other and smiled, and the black scorpion also understood that he was going to talk to Dan Qianzi about the topic, so he had a preconceived idea and asked directly: "Say, what do you want me to help with?"
Dan Qianzi put down the teacup in his hand, and there was a trace of unbearability in his heart. The current black scorpion is no longer as evil as when they met, and it has been reborn, becoming an authentic mountain villager. Now I want the black scorpion to return to his old business and help the Cloud King repel the demons, but I still can't bear it. But the safety of the country is at stake, and he still opened his mouth.
"Eight days later, the demons are attacking here. ”
As soon as he heard the demon, the hand of the Poison Saint Black Scorpion, who was about to pick up the teacup, put it down again. Demon, a name that has been lost from the earth for a long time, is both familiar and unfamiliar. Many years ago, the black scorpion had promised Dan Qianzi that he would help him do something, but he didn't expect that this matter would actually ask him to deal with the demons. He couldn't imagine why the demons would attack this barren land. There are not too many plains here, the land that can be planted is scarce, the mountains and forests are full of poisonous insects and poisonous weeds, compared to Yongguo and Yunguo, Yongguo does not have unique resources, but if you don't consider water resources, the level of the people of Yongguo is actually higher than here.
The black scorpion is no longer the invincible poison saint of the past, nor is it the leader of the Gu Poison Sect, and even likes it a little here. After Dan Qianzi said his request, there was silence in the room. After a while, a villager walked in, it turned out that his chicken had laid eggs, and he specially took one for the black scorpion. The black scorpion happily took the egg and placed it in an empty bowl. He stood on the stove, did not look back, turned his back to Dan Qianzi and said, "You wait a while, I'll go change my clothes, and then find out all the things I used before." ”
Dan Qianzi got up and left the house. The poison saint stood alone in the empty room, and his mood was difficult to calm down. In the end, he made up his mind and took out a wooden box from under his bed. In the wooden box, he was the leader of the Gu Poison Sect with his clothes.
