Chapter 258: Bai Lan
Nearing oneβs end.
Qin Kun knelt in front of the small temple, watching the light in front of him become weaker and weaker, and the surroundings became more and more eerie.
The deserted mountain village gives people a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu of a horror movie.
Qin Kun could see the candlelight in the small temple, illuminating a clay statue of a mountain god.
In the dim light, the mountain god smiled strangely as if he were laughing at him.
It was completely dark, but Qin Kun was not afraid of such an environment.
After all, after two months of penance, he also stayed alone in the deep mountains and old forests, and even trained too hard one night, accidentally walked into a cemetery and fell asleep, only to wake up the next day to find that he was sleeping against the grave.
It was a much more terrifying scene than that.
One night down. Hunger and cold.
Qin Kun couldn't help but fall to the ground, gradually losing consciousness.
It wasn't until the next morning, when his stomach rumbled, that he woke up quickly. Continue to kneel.
The old man walked out of the small temple after breakfast, his eyes looked down at Qin Kun, and his eyes revealed indifference.
He didn't say anything, turned around and walked into the mountain with a broken frame on his back.
It's been a long time. The old man brought back some wild vegetables, and these were his lunches.
"Old man, please help me. Seeing him come back, Qin Kun couldn't help but reach out and grab the old man's trouser legs.
I didn't eat for a day and a night, and Qin Kun had no strength.
"I said, go back, you kneel here, you will starve to death. The old man bowed his head and said to Qin Kun.
"I'm not leaving. β
"Since you can save her, why don't you help?" Qin Kun looked at the old man and pleaded, "Are you so hard-hearted?"
"Yes, I'm so hard-hearted. β
"Since you're going to kneel, then kneel, and I'll see how long you can hold on. β
"Hold on until you promise me. Qin Kun's voice was weak, but he said firmly.
Seeing this, the old man's pupils trembled slightly.
He withdrew his legs, glanced at Qin Kun deeply, and returned to the small temple.
Another day passed.
Qin Kun's kneeling knees were already swollen unbearably, but he still persisted.
At dawn on the third day, the old man opened the door and saw Qin Kun fainting on the ground, motionless......
"Hey!" the old man shook his head, went out and dragged Qin Kun up, carried it on his shoulders and walked into the meditation room.
There was a pot of unknown stuff boiling in the meditation room, bubbling and bubbling.
The old man put Qin Kun on the earthen kang, took out two leaves of grass and applied them to his knees to reduce the swelling, and then took out a bowl of rice porridge and fed him.
"Ahem!" Qin Kun was choked awake, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the old man looking at him kindly.
"You?"
"Don't talk yet, drink porridge and eat something to rest, and then go and carry that sister of yours back, understand?" said the old man
"You agreed?" Qin Kun suddenly came to his senses and said excitedly.
"Hmm!" the old man nodded.
"I'm going to carry the man back. After Qin Kun finished speaking, he got up. As soon as he got out of bed, his legs were weak, and he knelt directly on the ground.
"Okay, you have been kneeling for two days and two nights, and besides, your sister will not die for a while, so take a rest first, get up quickly. The old man pulled Qin Kun back on the kang, stuffed the porridge into Qin Kun's hand and said, "Drink, I'll give you that piece of steamed bun." β
"Thank you. Qin Kun took the rice porridge, his hands trembling.
He really didn't have any strength at all.
After eating and resting for an hour, Qin Kun had the strength to return to Liangshui Village and carry Lin Yuhan back.
The poison on Lin Yuhan's palm had extended from his hand to his shoulder, and his entire arm had become a blue-black blood line, which was shocking to watch.
The old man took down the pot of gurgling medicine and poured it into the bowl.
"Here, give it to her while it's hot. Don't get too hot, be careful of burns. β
"Okay!" Qin Kun helped the unconscious Lin Yuhan, blowing the medicine while helping her go down.
A small bowl of decoction after drinking. Qin Kun flattened the person and said to the old man, "Old man, I don't know what to call you yet?"
"My name is Bai Lan. The old man said, "Just call me Mr. Bai." β
"Mr. Bai, thank you. β
"No, I don't. As long as people can come back to life. As the old man spoke, he looked at Qin Kun and showed a faint smile: "Young man, do you think I'm very unkind?"
"I've already helped you. But you have suffered so much?"
When Qin Kun heard this, he laughed awkwardly: "It's a little bit." β
"Hmm!"
The old man got up and took his chopsticks and fished out a centipede from the kettle.
That centipede was blood-red all over, and it looked very powerful.
The old man looked at the centipede. There was a touch of sadness in his eyes.
"Actually, this centipede was supposed to be the medicine that saved my wife. β
"What are you talking about?" Qin Kun was stunned.
"My wife left me twenty years ago, poisoned exactly like your sister, a red blood spider. β
"To save her. I went deep into the mountains of Miaojiang and it took me five days to bring the centipede back, but when I came back, she had already left me. β
Qin Kun was stunned.
No wonder this old man has an antidote.
It turned out that he had already obtained it twenty years ago.
The old man turned around. looked at Qin Kun and said, "I actually wanted to save people from the beginning, because your sister reminded me of my wife, and I don't want her to die." β
"But why...... You ......" Qin Kun wanted to ask embarrassedly, but he was embarrassed to say it.
"I understand!"
"The reason why I didn't say yes to you at the first time. Actually, it's because of you. β
"Me?" Qin Kun blinked in amazement and pointed at himself, "Does this have anything to do with me?"
"Of course it does. β
"Young man, although you speak kindly, you look harmless to humans and animals. β
"But I'm not mistaken. You've killed people. β
"There is a murderous aura on your body, although it is still very light, but you do have blood on your hands, right?" the old man said to Qin Kun: "Because of this, my first feeling is that you are not a good thing. β
Qin Kun was dumbfounded.
Sure enough, this old man is a master.
can see the murderous aura purely from the appearance and breath of a person, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
"However, murderous people are not necessarily bad people. The old man suddenly changed his words. said to Qin Kun: "You can faint for her at my door, which shows that you are a person who values affection, I think...... The people you kill shouldn't be a good thing. β
That's why I later agreed. β
"I can't just save people, if the person I save is a devil. Wouldn't that harm the common people?" Bai Lan put the centipede back: "Besides, this antidote also needs a day and a night to boil, and when you were kneeling outside, I had actually begun to prepare the antidote." β
This moment. Qin Kun was completely convinced.
This Bai Lan is indeed the same as the old man said, he is a master of the world.
"Mr. Bai, I understand. β
"Hmm. It's good to understand. Bai Lan nodded and said to Qin Kun: "It takes a total of three days to drink this medicine, twice a day, a small bowl at a time, and after three days, the bruises on your arms will be fine." β
"That's right!" Bai Lan looked at Lin Yuhan and asked Qin Kun, "This girl...... Who was hurt?"
A glint appeared in Bai Lan's eyes.
Apparently people who can apply poison are very interested.
"Her name is Yu Niang, and she is a woman who should be less than thirty years old, and maybe less than forty years old, and I can't tell how old she is anyway. Qin Kun said to Bai Lan.
"Jade Niang?"
"That's not right. Bai Lan shook her head: "This person should be called Hu Yu, right?"
"Hu Yu, do you know Hu Yu?" Qin Kun said in surprise.
"Hehe, she was still a young girl back then, and this woman was very vicious. β
"Her lover back then was deeply poisonous. Later, when they came to me, I saw that they were too bad, so I rejected them. β
"Who would have thought that this Hu Yu would actually do it with me, and he would use force to force me to hand over the antidote. β
"It's a pity that she can't do it. Defeated by me and kicked out. β
"It's just that what I never expected was that this mother-in-law actually put poisonous insects in my wife's water, threatening my wife's life, saying that as long as I rescued people, she would give the antidote. β
"I agreed, and I pulled her lover back from the ghost gate, but she gave me a fake antidote, and the toxicity only worsened after taking it. β
"Later, I carefully studied the so-called antidote, which is actually the ration of the blood spider, which is the blood spider's favorite food. β
"The poisonous worm she laid in my wife's womb is the eggs of the blood spider. β
"You'll know the rest of the story. β
"You know Hu Yu, right?"
Listening to Bai Lan's words, Qin Kun was a little shocked in his heart.
I didn't expect there to be such a history.
Hu Yu, a woman, is indeed ruthless and can do anything.
"I recognize. Qin Kun said: "I won't tell you anything, Hu Yu once had some connections with my family. β
"Oh, you can't be relatives, are you?"
