Chapter 179: "Fire" in the Backyard
When Qi Tian and his party returned to the inn, they found that Zhang Lingfeng was waiting at the door of the inn with an anxious expression, looking into the distance from time to time, and when he saw their figures, he ran towards the four of them like a fly.
Fang Wuwu frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing in a panic?" Didn't you tell you many times, you have to be calm at any time. ”
Since Zhang Lingfeng decided to follow Qi Tian in the future, he regarded himself as a subordinate, and he followed Fang Wuwu for a period of time, so this is such a posture.
He arched his hand, and said in a helpless voice: "Eldest sister, this can't help but panic!" Just half an hour ago, the four brothers who were on duty at the horse shed were on duty to count the goods, and suddenly two masked men rushed in, and without waiting for the brothers to react, one of them turned his arms into branches, just a face, and the four brothers were tied up by those branches, and then the other took out the red bugs and forced them to eat, and then asked the four of them to pass the word on their behalf, telling you to be honest in Blackwater City, Brother Qi and Brother Chen must resign from their positions as inspectors before noon tomorrow, otherwise they will burn the four brothers alive, and there will be more in the future!And...... My younger brother Zhang Hao is also among them......"
After Zhang Lingfeng finished speaking in one breath, he took a few big breaths, and the anxious look on his face became heavier.
Qi Tian pondered for a moment, rubbed his chin, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect a fire in the courtyard of Ju Chai, Brother Zhang, don't worry, you take us to see your brother and those three brothers first, the younger brother is a Baicao Qi Master, he will have a way." ”
Zhang Lingfeng answered and led the four of them towards the backyard of the inn.
The current inn can be said to have been almost wrapped up by Fang Wuwu, so this short way, because of what happened before, it can be said that it is three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, not only the brothers of the moving mountain hall are all ready to fight, even the "city guards" of Yuanming City are also all dispatched, especially Yang Yigu is even more diligent, not only does he no longer put any big commander's shelf, but now he is wearing the clothes of the moving mountain hall, and he completely regards himself as a part of the moving mountain hall.
Seeing such a change in him, even Fang Wuwu had to sigh that Yang Yigu, this guy's ability to see the wind and steer is really strong enough, and it doesn't matter what he has to do.
However, it is indeed because of his attitude that the two parties, who were originally full of contradictions, got along quite well, which made Zhang Lingfeng worry a lot.
Seeing Qi Tian and the others coming, Yang Yigu bowed his hand and saluted in a proper manner: "Eldest sister, you are finally here, just now I went out to Gong, otherwise I will definitely not let those two thieves succeed, you can rest assured, from now on I will not sleep to ensure that this place is safe and secure!"
Fang Wuwu rolled his eyes and sneered: "Then I'm going to buy you a coffin in a few days, don't sleep!
Yang Yigu had a sneer on his face, and before he could speak, he was pushed aside by Zhang Lingfeng, pointing to the horse shed in front and saying to Qi Tian: "Those four brothers are tied to the pillars of the horse shed by branches!"
Qi Tian nodded, and followed Zhang Lingfeng to the front of the stable, only to see the four tightly wrapped mountain hall martial artists wrapped in tree branches, their faces and exposed skin seemed to have been burned by fire, large and small were full of bubbles, and the accompanying pharmacists slowly fed them water to drink, while concocting pungent medicinal oil and rubbing it on them.
Seeing Qi Tian coming, the pharmacist bowed and saluted: "Lord Qi, the four of them seem to have been hit by some kind of strange fire poison, the villain has never seen it before, so I can only use castor oil to relieve their pain, and I also found that they still have signs of slowly woodening, you come and see!"
As he spoke, the medicine man moved the head of one of them slightly, and sure enough, following his fingers, a small piece of skin on the back of the man's neck took on a wrinkled appearance, looking like a piece of bark.
Chen Yi also squatted down at this time, a faint layer of cyan appeared on his hands, and after carefully touching it, he frowned and said: "This is caused by too much wood qi in the body, the person who started first used some kind of wood magic power to restrain the four people, and then injected a large amount of wood qi into these branches, and then the other person used the witchcraft of the Southern Regions to plant Gu worms in the four people's bodies, and then used wood gas to promote fire, which made the four people look like this." ”
He paused and said, "According to my judgment, their whole bodies will be woodened before noon tomorrow, and the Gu worms in their bodies will also completely explode at that time, and the four of them will be burned alive!"
Hearing Chen Yi say this, everyone present understood what was going on, and they couldn't bear to look at the four of them.
Zhang Lingfeng arched his hand and said, "Brother Chen, since you can see it, then you must have a way to save them, and please Brother Chen...... Save the four brothers!"
Chen Yi pondered, thought about it, and then looked up at Youqing Zhi and said, "I have a way, but I need your help from the young priest, I don't know ...... young priest."
Youqingzhi frowned and glared: "What do you mean by this, stupid big man? Could it be that this girl is a person who can't be saved when she dies, you just say what to do!"
Chen Yi smiled, first asked Zhang Lingfeng to let everyone go back to the room, leaving only the pharmacist to help him prepare some potions, and then whispered to Youqingzhi about how to treat the four people to pay attention to, and when Youqingzhi understood, he turned to the woodened four: "Four brothers, the situation is urgent now, after using this method, there is a high probability that you will be disfigured...... So I hope you can be mentally prepared. ”
The four stiff bodies moved with difficulty, and it took a long time to hear Zhang Hao's weak mosquito voice: "...... alive." Zhang Lingfeng on the side couldn't bear Zhang Hao like this, and said directly: "Brother Chen, if you do it at will, it is better to be alive than dead, and your appearance will be ruined!"
Chen Yi and Youqingzhi glanced at each other, nodded at Zhang Lingfeng with a solemn expression, and saw Chen Yizhou's body qi burst out, and the cyan wood qi quickly condensed above his head, and in an instant, it turned into four hands holding three-inch-long knives, and then he instructed the pharmacist to take out a bottle of colorless liquid and pour it into the mouths of the four people.
At this time, Youqingzhi took out a small drum and hummed a strange tone in her mouth, only to see her gently pat, and after a "bang", the small drum actually manifested a strange white six-eyed worm that looked like smoke and fog, and after two circles around Youqingzhi, it was actually split into four slightly smaller worms that drilled into the nose of the four people with the sound of the drum.
The sun and the moon are seen, and the ruins are explored.
Qi Tian was curious in his heart, and directly urged Yuan Pupil, looking towards the field, only to see that Chen Yi's body seemed to be blocked by a layer of mist, and he could only barely see a huge eight-armed humanoid figure behind him that seemed to be carrying two circular outlines, and the one holding a three-inch knife was held by the humanoid, and Chen Yi's right hand had four cyan wood qi connected to those four arms.
I saw that except for the thumb of his right hand, the other four fingers kept shaking, and when I looked at the four of them again, the staggered branches on their bodies were cut and peeled off little by little, revealing the bloody flesh and blood inside.
At this time, the white worm summoned by Youqingzhi with the witch drum was attached to the surface of the four people, constantly absorbing something, and after a while, it slowly turned red, and it was slightly sensed away, and it was found that the fire qi in the four people's bodies began to slowly weaken, and the skin and flesh began to heal slowly.
Zhang Lingfeng looked forward to it, and kept asking the pharmacist, "How is it, can you save it?"
The pharmacist still comforted and replied softly at first, telling Zhang Lingfeng not to worry, this has to be done slowly, and he said directly with a straight face in the back: "Deputy Hall Master Zhang, you are chattering like a girl, how can we calm down and treat the brothers, please stand back, don't hinder us, okay!"
Hearing this, that Zhang Feng stepped back embarrassedly and apologized, while the pharmacist turned around and secretly patted his chest, and whispered something so exciting......
After a quarter of an hour, just after the white worm completely turned fiery red, Chen Yi let out a low snort, and all the wood qi around his body returned to his body, and after exhaling a breath of turbidity, he said: "Okay, this can be regarded as rescue, Brother Zhang, you can arrange a few careful brothers to take care of them." ”
As he spoke, he took out a few bottles of potion from his body and handed them to the pharmacist, instructing him to give medicine to the four of them every other hour, and to find him at any time if there was anything unusual.
"Can you see who is moving?" Qi Tian rubbed his chin and walked over, his face completely gloomy when he saw the four people who had been forcibly stripped of a layer of skin and blood.
Chen Yi sniffed and said, "This method is what most of the Hundred Grass Qi Masters do, but this method of using Gu worms to attract the Qi of Wood, as far as I know, Baiwu Mountain is the best at it. ”
Qi Tianqi said: "Isn't Baiwu Mountain a Baicao Qi master who specializes in curing diseases and saving people, how can he still study those harmful witchcraft in the Southern Regions?"
Youqing Zhiqiong's nose wrinkled, and she waved her little fist and said, "Hey, hey, what do you say, you bad little god? Who said that the witchcraft in the Southern Regions is a means of harming people? Could it be that your eyes were covered by dark clouds just now? Your ears were plugged with donkey hair? Even your conscience was eaten by evil dogs? I also have a share in the rescue of those four people!"
After a few connections, in Qi Tian's repeated mistakes, Youqing Zhi gave everyone a popular science: "The art of witchcraft is indeed derived from the first to curse the enemy, including curses, disgust and poisonous Gu and other means, among which Gu poison is actually simply to take poisonous insects and raise them in utensils, so that their toxicity is enhanced, thus harming people's lives, but with the improvement of thousands of years, the Southern Regions have also invented many Gu insects that cure diseases and save people, so the magic of witchcraft has long been not an evil art that can only harm people!"
Chen nodded, and continued: "What the young priest said is good, the so-called witch doctor is of the same origin, since there is a method of Gu medicine, there is naturally a method of receiving Gu, and many herb medicine families will also use Gu worms to treat diseases, so Baiwu Mountain will naturally inherit this way." ”
"Baiwu Mountain!" Qi Tian squinted his eyes, muttered a few words in a cold voice, suddenly turned around and walked out, and said loudly: "Little brother, I don't accept this anger, can you leave and kill people with me?"
