Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Capital of the Red Ice Country 1
Zhu Mansion. Korean Hospital.
Outside the window, it is a sunny day with the warm sun hanging, the warm sun makes people a little lazy, bursts of breeze keep blowing, and from time to time it will take the fallen leaves of the tree in the courtyard that I don't know which tree in the courtyard is flying in the air, and then fall to the ground and return to dust.
Inside the window, a man dressed in a light blue tunic and a light gray robe, with his hands proudly behind his back, his wide sleeves covering his palms, and a white expressionless mask on his face stood silently in front of the window.
Through the two round holes in the mask for seeing, you can see that the man's calm eyes are quietly looking out the window at the clouds and the wind and sunshine. Such a quiet, elegant, fairy-like, dusty, and non-eating appearance of fireworks in the world is really beyond people's reach, and they only dare to look at it from a distance but dare not look closely.
Behind the man was Zhu Zimo, who was also standing silently.
Because his biological mother Liu Ruyun died less than three months ago, Zhu Zimo is still in the period of filial piety, so today he only wears a azure long Confucian shirt, and the three thousand green silk is neatly tied behind his head with only a white hosta. Whether looking at it from a distance or up close, Zhu Zimo at this moment gives people a feeling of being as calm as water and light out of the dust, which makes people feel relaxed and refreshed just by looking at it.
"Zi Yan, whether it is Zi Ming or you, including Zi Mo, you are all disciples who have worked hard for the teacher and spent countless efforts to teach. It's just that you and Ziming can't compare to Zimo's kindness after all, and as a teacher, I am afraid that your thoughts will make a big mistake, so I will be harsh on you and Ziming on weekdays. But in the eyes of the teacher, you are all disciples of the teacher, there is no difference, because the teacher never talks about your past and identity.
Now or in the future, whether it is Ziming or you, Zi Yan, the teacher will never want to see any of you raise the butcher knife in your hand and aim at the fellow disciples. I have worked hard to teach you and teach you the best martial arts in the world, not so that you will one day kill each other and fall into a situation from which you will never recover. There was silence in the study for a while. But suddenly heard Zhu Zimo's master's calm but angry voice say this.
"In vain...... Got it...... The apprentice swears to the master here today that in the future, as long as the senior brother does not attack the apprentice first, the apprentice will never hurt the senior brother first! If this oath is violated. Men and gods abandon together! When Zhu Zimo heard this, he was silent for a long time before he said this, but he understood that everyone could hear how reluctant Zhu Zimo was to say this.
However, I heard Zhu Zimo promise this. Zhu Zimo's master nodded, and said as if pleased: "You can guarantee it like this, you can rest assured that you are a teacher!" As soon as the words changed, he heard Zhu Zimo's master ask: "Ziyan, do you remember the herbs that your master asked you to send someone to Pingnan Province in Jiangnan to find a few days ago?" ”
Zhu Zimo coughed lightly and nodded, and replied respectfully: "Remember, there are four herbs in total: Danzhi, Hongshu, Tanglu, and Qinjiao. On the second day after the apprentice received the book from his master Feiying, he asked people to go to Pingnan Province in Jiangnan to find these four herbs, and the person sent by this trip was Mu Ziru! ”
Wen Yan nodded. Zhu Zimo's master said in a very light tone: "Since the person sent is Mu Ziru, then as a teacher, you don't have to worry about finding the wrong herb." After saying that, he heard a sigh, and then heard Zhu Zimo's master continue to say indifferently: "Although your senior brother took it back from the Wu clan four years ago with his own strength, it's just that your senior brother ...... After all, he still underestimated the power of the Wu clan. ”
After a long pause, as if recalling something, Zhu Zimo's master sighed again before continuing to say in his indifferent tone: "At the beginning, although it was taken back from the hands of the Wu Clan by your senior brother, your senior brother also fell for the Wu Clan's most evil Gu poison - the Red Charm Poison. Whoever is poisoned. When the poison occurs, the body is sometimes simply cold like ice or simply like fire, and sometimes it is cold like ice, sometimes like a burning fire, and each time it is uncertain. But every time it will be accompanied by the pain of ten thousand worms. And the most uncertain thing is the time of the poison.
Sometimes the red charm poison will not be poisoned once in ten days and half a month, or even a month and a half, but sometimes, there are cases where the poison is poisoned three or four times a month. Every time the red charm is poisonous, it will last for a day and a night. This process is not only very painful, but also extremely dangerous, as long as one is not careful, the poisoner will lose his life at any time. The most important thing is that once the red charm poison attacks, the poisoned person must find someone with extreme yang or extreme yin physique to have sex with, otherwise he will have to endure the pain of love flower poison. Although it is also possible to pull a random person to alleviate the poison of love flowers, if it is not a person with an extremely yang or extremely yin constitution and a poisoned person, both men and women will die.
If this is the case, I believe that with your senior brother's will, you will be able to survive it, because your senior brother still has ambitions that have not yet been completed. But the Red Charm Poison will not give you time for the elder brother, because the Red Charm Poison will drastically shorten the life span of the poisoned, and even if the Red Charm Poison can survive the pain of each dangerous poison, it will not live for five years. And this five-year period, I'm afraid that even your senior brother himself doesn't know.
However, your senior brother is still lucky, and the four herbs that your teacher asked you to send someone to Pingnan Province in Jiangnan to find are all herbs necessary for the development of the antidote to the red charm poison. It takes a hundred years for the four herbs to ripen each time, and if they are not ripe, they are useless, but this year is the time for a hundred years. As long as Mu Ziru can find the four flavored herbs and develop the antidote to the red charm poison before the end of this year, your senior brother will be able to dissolve the red charm poison in his body smoothly and regain his life, and he will no longer have to suffer from this red charm poison.
Ziyan, after all, your senior brother returned to you the things he had taken with all his might on the day of your wedding, although the master knew, it was only because your senior brother was too arrogant and officially declared war with you in this way, but five years of poisonous torture and five years of heart-wrenching pain...... Ziming also paid the due price for his actions back then, and the teacher hopes that for the sake of the same family, you must not hold grudges anymore. ”
Zhu Zimo listened to every word and every word his master said, and was very amazed in his heart - this master of his, even Yan Ziming returned that thing on his wedding day!
In addition to being amazed, Zhu Zimo still bowed his hand to the master who was standing with his back to him, and said in a respectful tone: "Master, your teachings, keep in mind. The apprentice still said the same thing, as long as the senior brother does not attack the apprentice first, the apprentice will never hurt the senior brother first! If this oath is violated, both men and gods will abandon it! ”
At this moment, a gust of wind blew into the study along the open window, and a few yellowed leaves drifted in the study along the wind, so blown by the wind, although the wind was not strong, it also made Zhu Zimo cough. And Zhu Zimo's master was indifferent to Zhu Zimo's coughing sound from time to time from the beginning-
saw Zhu Zimo's master raise his right hand to catch one of the fallen leaves that were blown into the study by the wind from outside the window amid Zhu Zimo's cough, and then stared at the fallen leaves in his hand and was silent.
Master Zhu Zimo's hair is all gray, according to common sense, this should be a symbol of aging, but although Master Zhu Zimo's palm is pale, there is no trace of wrinkles, but the finger joints are stretched and powerful, and the hand shape is slender, which looks more perfect than the young man's palm.
Looking at the fallen leaves with clear veins in his hand for a long time, Zhu Zimo's master said in an ethereal tone: "There is no time...... If the poison in the body is not dissolved before the five-year period arrives, when the poison of the red charm poison occurs for the last time, the poisoned person will burst all over the body, and the qi and blood will flow backwards and die. And this year is the fifth year of the Red Charm Poison among your senior brothers, and the last year of the five-year period. If your senior brother still can't get the antidote to the red charm poison at the end of this year, you don't need to do it, and your senior brother will die from the red charm poison in his body.
Zi Yan, no matter how many grievances you had with Ziming in the past, as a teacher, I only hope that before the arrival of this five-year period, you can put aside these grievances for the time being, and let Mu Ziru develop an antidote to the red charm poison to save Ziming's life for the time being! In the future, if you fight against each other again, as long as you don't put each other to death, your teacher will not interfere too much. You and Ziming are brothers in the same sect in the end, and they have grown up together since childhood, although they have different positions, they have not yet reached the point where they have to die. ”
"What the master said, the apprentice took it to heart. It's just that there is something unclear in the apprentice, master, you ...... Why do you know so much about the witch clan's Gu poison? Looking at the master's elegant back and hesitating again and again, Zhu Zimo finally asked the question in his heart.
Zhu Zimo also knew something about the Red Charm Poison, but Zhu Zimo only knew from the ancient books about the situation when the Red Charm Poison was poisoned, as for the fact that the person in the Red Charm Poison could not live for five years, Zhu Zimo didn't know at all, and there was no record related to it in the ancient books!
The Wu Clan is a very mysterious ethnic group on the Tiancheng Continent, and the world knows very little about the Wu Clan, shouldn't the Gu poison of the Wu Clan be the most secret in this world? What's more, it has been lost on the rivers and lakes for nearly 300 years...... Red Charm Poison !!
But his master knows so clearly and in detail about the red charm poison of the witch clan!! Even the scene of the last time the Red Charm Poison was poisoned...... How could this not make Zhu Zimo stunned? Don't let Zhu Zimo be surprised??
didn't answer Zhu Zimo's question, Zhu Zimo's master just stood in front of the window so indifferently, just quietly looking at the scenery outside the window.
For a long time, so long that Zhu Zimo even felt that time seemed to be frozen, Zhu Zimo only felt that there was a figure flashing in front of him, and when he looked at it again, in front of the wide open window, where was the shadow of his master?
Where Master Zhu Zimo had stood, a yellowed leaf stayed there quietly, as if to show that the previous occurrence was not Zhu Zimo's illusion...... (To be continued.) )
