Chapter 19: The Antidote
Lao Yu took two spiritual artifacts from my ancestor in the Shimen Tomb, and came out without much greed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoI still fantasized about going back to the modern era by the stone gate, but now it looks a little slim. Sometimes when a bizarre thing happens, it needs the right time, the right place, and the right people. Because we were traveling through the sky at that time, and November 5, 2014 was the day of the breaking of the moon, it was really difficult to encounter the same situation now, and I could only put my thoughts about my family on hold for the time being.
I have been in a state of nervousness for several days, at this time I have peace of mind, my eyelids are a little heavy, and I don't know how long I have been asleep, the old man in the fog called me, I opened my eyes slightly, his big face was anxiously facing me, and kept patting my cheeks, I opened my mouth and said to him weakly: "Don't make trouble, let me sleep for a while......"
"Sleep a fart,, open your eyes!" said Lao Yu's voice with panic.
I said to myself, "What's the matter, don't you just get some sleep?" I was dazed, my head was like a jar of lead, and my body had no other sense than a sense of indifference......
What was going on? When I tried to make a sound again, my throat was stuffed there.
"Damn!" I heard Lao Yu scolding angrily, and Bao Cai shouted worriedly beside him: "Son, you hold on......"
I thought to myself: Why does this treasure seem like I'm going to die?
Although I felt confused, I still smiled, but at this time, the little Taoist priest was also looking at me worriedly. At this time, a tall figure pushed away the people around me, put his face in front of me, took a closer look, and then he stood up, hugged his hand to his chest and said: "It's just that I've been poisoned and I'm delirious! Look at you one by one, people are not dead, they are worried about death!"
"Poisoned!" Bao Cai raised his voice, remembered something, and said: "Just now, the prince was in good condition, but I didn't expect this poison to spread all over the body...... Barbarian Shrine Maiden...... It was the silver needle she shot, and the Gu worms were also raised by their clan. ā
Hearing this, Chen Tan immediately stood up, ran to the Miao girl angrily, pulled up her clothes and said, "Antidote, give me the antidote!" He raised his voice, and several birds in the tree were disturbed and quacked and flew by, leaving a deep and heavy echo.
However, the Miao witch glanced at Chen Yu coldly and said, "Dream!"
In the blurred vision, looking at her resolute look, I suddenly felt that she was like the kind of revolutionary female martyr who was not afraid of danger and refused to obey before the great enemy.
"You!" Chen Yan stretched out his hand angrily, he was born with a broken palm, and if he wanted this slap to go down, it was estimated that the witch would be slapped away. But I know Chen Yu since I was a child, he is brave and strategic, but as soon as he arrives in front of a woman, he will be cowardly, not to mention that after this Miao witch has shed those heavy clothes, she is still a standard classical beauty, Chen Yu has no resistance to beauties.
The Miao witch probably saw Chen Yu's weakness, stretched her neck, stared, and said provocatively: "You fight, fight!"
I said in my heart: This dead girl, brother, I have saved her several times, but she is so cold-blooded...... At this time, I especially wanted to shout to Chen Yu: Sauce, you are beating...... But Chen Yu's hand stayed in the air for a while, wanting to make a move, but he always hesitated. At this time, my ancestor couldn't stand it, he called the short junior eighth behind him, Chen Yu had introduced this person to me before, he said that this junior eighth is the same as the butcher in the "New Dragon Gate Inn", with great knife work and meat removal skills, he is my ancestor's right-hand man in touching the Golden Gate, known as the "fast knife first eight", combat effectiveness and agility are off the charts, to this brute girl meet her, I can imagine her being completely deboned.
Wearing a rust-red linen shirt with strips of cloth on his head, I watched his figure spin, and the bright short knife turned around his hand a few times, like a blade spinning in an electric fan, as fast as it could be. What's amazing is that another short Liang Jiu took a hunted hare, and after a few strokes, the rabbit was completely skinned, and after two more shows, even the bones were removed. I shouted in my heart, if I didn't lie in a vegetative state now, I really wanted to give the eighth year of the first month a thumbs up.
The coercive performance ended, and the eighth day of the first month whistled and Liang Jiu began to prepare today's food. By this time the sky was clear, because the poison had paralyzed my nerves, and I could not move normally, and leaned against the tree like a wasted person.
At this time, the old ancestor squatted beside the witch, looked at a short thin scimitar in his hand and said to the witch: "Barbarian girl, if you don't give the antidote, grandpa will let his subordinates cut off your legs, inch by inch, after the incident, you won't die immediately, you just have to look at your two bloody legs, only bones left!"
I couldn't see the Miao witch's expression clearly, but I could see her long bound legs shrinking. She was struggling with her thoughts, my ancestor didn't give her a chance, and shouted in her mouth: "The eighth year of the first month, do it!" He stood up suddenly, his slender figure facing me, and in the fog, I saw him smiling at me, so kind.
When Chu Ba heard the call, she answered, and was about to come over, when the Miao witch hurriedly shouted: "Wait!" She glanced at me with an unhappy face, and said: "The antidote to the silver needle is in my waist, and the poison of the blood tail Gu I let the white moth control him last night." ā
Listening to the Miao witch, I suddenly remembered the white powder sprinkled on my arm by a moth-like insect last night, and I was startled at that time, and I would never have thought that it was made by a vicious witch. I looked at her cold and arrogant face, and thought: This girl may be a typical example of a knife mouth and a hard tofu heart. Looking at it, I don't hate her so much. But the thought that she could summon insects made me shudder in my heart, and I thought to myself: If she can control poisonous insects, then what man with no heart and eyes provokes her and must not die a tragic death?
After that, the witch gave me the antidote of the silver needle, and she asked us to let her go, of course the ancestor did not agree, and there was no way to do so, for a team, once the witch returned to the clan, she would definitely bring disaster to us.
After I was devastated by the poison, I asked the Miao witch about her ancestors, and unexpectedly, she didn't know the true identity of her ancestors, and I didn't look like she was lying, so I didn't ask more. But in the light, I could see a pattern on the placket of her clothes - it was a man-eating vine, and the Miao witch said that this was their totem.
I asked her if the portraits in the stream were carved by their people, and she was not happy to say at first, but after shaking the knife and glaring at her at the eighth day of the first month, she was relieved and said that it was indeed carved by the Miao people in the previous generations of them, and the purpose was just like the little Taoist priest guessed at the time, it was used for sacrifice. They worship the ancestors in the mountain tomb very much, and after her death, they will burn incense and worship her every day of her death, and hold a kind of remembrance ceremony.
But those bewitching flowers grow naturally there, because its fragrance can stimulate the fear of people's hearts, so that people go crazy, collapse, and eventually commit suicide, so the Miao people call them "flowers of death".
The last question I asked the shrine maiden was about the strange-faced people who were chasing us. I didn't know why they suddenly wanted to kill the witch, so I asked her why, but she only said that it was an internal matter of their clan and had nothing to do with outsiders. However, I saw a certain heaviness in her eyes, which led me to believe that there must be some ulterior secret in the attack on her by the Strange Face.
After learning some of the facts, I concluded that neither the "man-eating vine" nor the "death flower" were planted by the seedlings here. After analyzing them, we all believe that their existence should be the same as those mechanisms, and they are used to kill those inverted people who snoop on the tombs of Dashan Chu.
After some analysis, I went with the large group to my destination. This time, because of the large number of people, coupled with the presence of the old ancestor and Chen Di, I am full of confidence in this trip, and I classify all the encounters and experiences as a kind of training, just like Tang Seng learning scriptures.
