23 Basalt pots
"His grandmother's, why did she die!" Dian Wei grabbed Deng Xian's collar, and the milky white brain pulp flowing out of his brain was mixed with blood and dripped into the fire, making a "squeaking" sound, and the smell of blood made people churn inside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xu Chu stared at the dead Deng Xian, muttered for a while, pinched his cheeks, opened his mouth, and lit the fire to carefully check his teeth, "Huh? Xu Chu frowned, leaned over to take a closer look, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei saw that he seemed to have found something, and hurried over to take a look.
The originally red gums and cheeks in Deng Xian's space all turned purple and black, and Zhao Yun nodded and said, "It seems that he has already been implanted with poison." ”
"Ge Laozi, it turns out that this eunuch was poisoned." Dian Wei touched his beard and said, "Brother, now that he is dead, if he doesn't do anything about his brother, tomorrow I will cut off his head and report to the official!" ”
Xu Chu ignored him, picked up a thin branch, scraped it in Deng Xian's mouth a few times, and then put the thin branch in front of his nose and smelled it, and suddenly shook his whole body and threw away the branch.
"Corpse poison!" Xu Chu calmed down, stood up, glanced at Deng Xian's corpse again, turned his head and asked the villagers on the side: "Mr. Lu, what kind of corpse poison do you think this is?" ”
Mr. Lu came out of the villagers, Zhao Yun looked at his outfit, and knew that he was Langzhong in the village, Mr. Lu stepped forward to take a closer look, and concluded: "Purple corpse poison!" ”
Zhao Yun saw that everyone's eyes were flustered, and the originally quiet atmosphere was suddenly broken by everyone's gossip.
Xu Chu tightened his eyebrows and stared blankly at the corpse.
"Don't worry, the purple corpse poison is not contagious, but, how can anyone be infected with this poison?" Mr. Lu also touched his sparse beard, Zhao Yun was puzzled, and asked, "Excuse me, purple corpse poison, what kind of corpse poison?" ”
Mr. Lu glanced at Zhao Yun and said, "No wonder you don't know, this kind of corpse poison, I also heard the ancestors say that this is not a kind of corpse poison on people, but a kind of strange beast, legend has it that this corpse poison has the characteristics of lurking in the body, and people who are poisoned often die violently......" He turned over his right palm, hooked his little thumb, and got very close to his thumb, "Just such a little poison, if you go down into the water, it is enough to poison a county of people!" Mr. Lu threw the branch into the fire and said, "Although the carrier of this poison will not infect others, once the person dies violently, the toxin will enter the most active period and can burrow out of the human body and spread." ”
"I can only burn it......" Xu Chu interjected, Dian Wei hurriedly stood up and said, "No, I still have to go to get the bounty!" ”
"Fuck you! Do you want to get poisoned and come back!? Didn't you hear what Mr. said? You want to kill a village!? Xu Chu scolded Dian Wei, but he didn't expect Dian Wei to sit down immediately, not daring to say anything more, just don't sulk too much.
Mr. Lu looked at the two of them and said, "Only if it is burned, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." It's just that this eunuch escaped from the capital, where did he get the poison from? ”
Zhao Yun saw the stitches and said: "Could it be that he won the Taiping Qingling Gong?" ”
Xu Chu glanced at him: "No, Taiping Qingling Gong is another kind of poison skill, which is different from the purple corpse poison." ”
It turns out that Taiping Qinglinggong is also a kind of corpse poison! Zhao Yun became interested and hurriedly asked, "What kind of corpse poison is that?" ”
"Naturally, it's green corpse poison." Mr. Lu said, "Just now I saw the eunuch's kung fu, and I knew that it was Taiping Qingling's skill, and the source of this kung fu was a kind of corpse poison, and the use of truth was used to give birth to it continuously, so it was also very powerful...... This little brother, I know what you want to ask, in fact, this corpse poison is also transmitted from the body of a strange beast, and it is from the same source as the purple corpse poison. ”
Zhao Yun had never heard of Taiping Qinglinggong having such a origin, so he became more and more interested, and said, "Can Mr. give me some guidance to the younger brother, I don't know how many corpse poisons there are in the world?" What kind of beast does it come from? ”
Mr. Lu was embarrassed to see that Zhao Yun was so humble, he moved his body, and saw that Xu Chu had already taken off his coat and wrapped it in his hands, ready to burn the corpse, and said in a low voice: "Little brother, this is also the legend recorded in my ancestral autopsy book, in fact, I have lived for more than 50 years, and I have never seen it, you can listen to it." These two kinds of corpse poison are from a kind of strange beast called 'Xuanwu', in ancient times, this strange beast was rampant in the world, and then suddenly disappeared, this strange beast eats dead things, so it has a variety of corpse poison on its body, although it suddenly disappeared, but its corpse poison remained. ”
Mr. Lu looked at the starry sky and stayed for a while, Zhao Yun thought he was finished, but he suddenly spoke again: "There is a very strange thing recorded in the book left by my great-grandfather...... Although this Xuanwu's huge body is gone, his divine consciousness seems to be lodged in this world, silently for thousands of years, I don't know what his intentions are, and the people who use the corpse poison he left behind have also become a generation of masters, it can be said that many poisons in this world are derived from Xuanwu's various poison sources and changes! Mr. Lu's voice trembled a little: "You know what? According to my grandfather's research, this Xuanwu, due to word of mouth, is what later generations called Xuanwu! ”
Xuanwu!
Zhao Yun immediately thought of the monster with the dragon's head and turtle body in his mind. "It's just that the appearance has changed, and the emperors of later generations changed his original image slightly because of his majesty and mystery, and it has become the image of Xuanwu today."
Kirin bottle! Divine beast weapon! Zhao Yun came up with the unicorn bottle that Zhang Jiao gave him before he died, and now this artifact must be taken away by Dong Xian? They're all fighting for the beast weapon!
Staying, Zhao Yun remembered at this time, this divine beast weapon, could it be the host? So according to Mr. Lu, Xuanwu must also exist in this world as a divine beast like the unicorn bottle, could it be that the imperial court chased and killed Zhang Jiao for the unicorn bottle in his hand? He thought of Yan Liang's intention to assassinate Zhang Jiao as an assassin, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Could it be that Yan Liang deliberately arranged for him, an outsider, to secretly assassinate Zhang Jiao in order to seize the Qilin Bottle, then, when he was in action, there must be a master around him, so that Yan Liang, who should be his master Yuan Shao, can seize this divine beast weapon first.
Could it be that they are all trying to gain the power in it? The more Zhao Yun thought about it, the more panicked he became, he didn't expect such a deep motive to be hidden in it.
Mr. Lu saw him frowning for a while, looking into the distance in a daze, and sweating on his forehead for a while, and said with a smile: "These are all legends, just talk about it with laughter, little brother, I should go, I said, don't worry about it...... The firewood was piled up...... Be careful, don't touch the corpse, and remember to burn the hand wrap as well. ”
The more Zhao Yun thought about it, the more mysterious he became, he thought that Cai Lu was still in Yan Liang's army, so he had to quickly find Yan Liang and ask clearly, now that the situation has changed drastically, he also has to hurry up and rush to Luoyang to find out.
After Deng Xian's body was swallowed up by the flames, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Chu was naked, glanced at Zhao Yun, and said: "Brother, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, there are brothers in the four seas, it's better to stay here for a few days, let's make friends!" ”
Zhao Yun arched his hand and said: "The eldest brother's heart is understood, but the younger brother is on official business, and he must rush to Luoyang immediately." ”
"It's a mess over there, what are you going to do! Come, let's have a few drinks and fight three hundred more rounds tomorrow morning! Dian Wei put the double halberd in his waist and smiled.
Zhao Yun saw that he spoke straightforwardly, and he didn't bend: "Brother Dian Wei's kung fu, the younger brother admires it very much, but the younger brother really has to hurry, so I have to come to visit the two of you next time." ”
Dian Wei's face immediately became gloomy: "Little brother, do you look down on me?" ”
"Forget it, let him go." Xu Chu pulled Dian Wei, but Dian Wei said: "If you don't stay, if you don't take me, I also want to go to Luoyang to see and kill a few eunuchs!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Xu Chu shouted angrily: "Looking for death!?" Thinking about the world of flowers again? Don't forget how your dad died! If you want to be a bird, don't come to me in a different place! ”
Dian Wei grinned, not annoyed, and said, "If I am a ghost, I will also come to my brother!" ”
Xu Chu hugged his fist to Zhao Yun, said "cherish", then pulled Dian Wei and strode away.
Zhao Yun looked at the two tiger men who went away, and sighed with emotion: I didn't expect that there were two peerless masters living in seclusion in this poor and remote place!
Leaving the village, Zhao Yun was anxious, and rushed to Luoyang day and night, needless to say, all the way was hard, and within a few days, he came to Luoyang, Kyoto.
Luoyang City in front of him, but it is full of gunsmoke, the head of the city is standing with a black man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, the city gate is open as usual, nothing unusual, Zhao Yun dismounted, led the horse into the city, this is his first time back to Kyoto, but saw that the houses in the city are dilapidated, everywhere is filled with gunsmoke, the streets have been mixed with the houses that collapsed after burning, there are corpses lying everywhere, a few people who are not yet dead instinctively spasm, or crawl slowly, wailing again and again, fingers pinched in the soil, want to crawl forward one step further, suddenly convulsions, and died of exhaustion.
How bustling Kyoto has become a hell on earth.
Zhao Yun walked slowly in the city, it was getting late, and he deliberately avoided the patrolling sentinels, walked from the east of the city to the west of the city, and then followed the city wall to the north of the city.
In addition to the city gate was burned by fire, the houses in the city were still neat, but from time to time there were old women lying in front of the window wailing, and from time to time officers could be seen rushing into the houses to burn and plunder, Zhao Yun hated itchy, but he didn't dare to do it easily, but secretly took advantage of the fact that when a few sergeants were alone, he secretly killed the killer and killed a few unscrupulous officers.
He walked half a circle, and he had a number in his heart, in Luoyang City, there are currently several forces, wearing black clothes is Dong Zhuo's army, wearing orange military clothes is Yuan Shao's subordinates, and the others are sporadic imperial forest troops, which are already controlled by Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuojun was rampant, he didn't pay attention to other soldiers and the people of the city at all, and from time to time he could see soldiers fighting each other for women, and the law and order in the city was completely chaotic, and the traitors were rampant, and the sergeants turned a blind eye.
Dong Zhuojun saw that Zhao Yun was Yuan Shao's subordinate, so he was polite and told him that Yuan Shao's mansion was located in the northwest.
In the dead of night, Zhao Yun changed into a night suit, put on a bamboo pipe, flew out of the window with a vertical body, and ran towards Yuan Shao's mansion at a very fast speed.
It was the third watch, a few sergeants at the gate of Yuan Shao's mansion yawned, sat on the steps to drink and gamble, and from time to time there were patrols on the street, chatting with a few sergeants when passing by, laughing and scolding for a while and then walking away.
"Damn, I'm out of luck today!" A sergeant threw away his military cap, scratched his head, rolled up his sleeves, held the dice in his palm and shook it for a while.
"****** Mom, if Lao Tzu loses again, he will lick your **** sergeant and throw down the dice, indeed a red dot and a double dot, the sergeants burst into laughter: "Come, lick, lick!" ”
A sergeant of the patrol team unbuckled his belt and said, "Come, Lao Tzu has been constipated for the past few days, and it is smooth to lick my master!" ”
Then there was a burst of laughter.
With a good opportunity, Zhao Yun jumped into the tree next to the mansion gate, and stabbed into the mansion.
A gust of wind blew, and the sergeants were completely unaware.
In order to avoid the patrolling sergeants, Zhao Yun sneaked into the small lake in the mansion, exposed the bamboo pipe to the surface of the lake, swam forward gently, bypassed several corridors and pavilions, and came to the residence behind the mansion, but saw a room faintly lit, and several sergeants stood guard at the door.
This room is very small, but it is like a place to pile firewood, and the lights are dimmer than those in other rooms, Zhao Yun knows that Yuan Shaofu is like a cloud, and he does not dare to slack off, and he reduces the truth in his body to the minimum, and his heart is like a pool, calm and waveless.
He went ashore nearby, and gently reached the roof, and hid in the shade of the ridge, gathering as if he were listening carefully.
"The Qilin Bottle lost its ......" was silent for a while, and Zhao Yun heard that it was Yan Liang's voice.
After a long time, a voice said, "What else?" Go on! "Listening to the voice, very patient, but chilling.
"Lord, it's no wonder my brother, he doesn't know about the divine beast, it's me, it's negligent." Yan Liangdao.
"How did you lose it?"
"By a ...... The girl is calculated! Yan Liang was a little embarrassed.
There was silence again.
"Go on, huh?"
"Yes, my lord...... This girl is the daughter of the Taishi...... Lord, the reason why my ambush master let her succeed is because this girl also has two more powerful characters. ”
"Who?"
"Li Dao, Guo Yan!"
"Fart! Li Dao and Guo Yan are both generals in the army, how can they be commanded by a female baby? ”
"This ...... The little ones don't know. Yan Liang paused, "It's just that the fake Xuanwu pot, in the hands of He Jin, is now in the hands of Zhang Rang, but it is missing, before He Jin died, he seemed to realize that it was a fake, I heard that he was also going to send the fake to Zhang Rang." ”
"What do you want to say?" The voice became a little harsh.
"Why did Dong Zhuo send the Xuanwu pot to He Jin, and why did He Jin give it to Zhang Rang? Don't you think it's strange, my lord? ”
"Well, what do you think?"
"Someone must have leaked this secret and wanted to use the Xuanwu pot to blame others!"
Zhao Yun was shocked, it turned out that in addition to the unicorn bottle, there was also a Xuanwu pot! Listening to the two of them, they must have given the Xuanwu pot to Dong Zhuo, wanting Dong Zhuo to become the target of the public, but they didn't expect the fake to be leaked!
"Really?" As soon as the conversation turned, the voice became very harsh.
Yan Liang seemed to whisper, but Zhao Yun didn't hear clearly.
"Okay, if you think Zhao Yun is suitable, just look for him."
Zhao Yun's heart was shocked, and his body was really like almost fluctuating, he was busy collecting his mind and listening carefully, but he heard Yan Liang add: "As long as you stay in the human body, you can use it for the lord, now that child is too weak, if the divine consciousness awakens, how can he suppress it?" Zhao Yun is the little brother I met in Black Mountain Village, and his woman is also in my hands, don't worry! ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yun broke out in a cold sweat and wet all his underwear, but he didn't expect his most trusted eldest brother to betray him, and his heart was agitated for a while, but he didn't hear the conversation at all.
I don't know when, the two talked about the court.
"Since the Xuanwu pot is in Zhang Rang's hands, he won't live long, but since Dong Zhuo knows that it is a fake, he will be suspicious of me, you will go back to lead the troops now, and call Wen Chou to return to Beijing overnight to protect me, he will live in seclusion in this place on the back side of Luoyang, tomorrow Dong Thief Dynasty, it seems that he is going to set up a new emperor, I will make a mistake in the court, if God favors him, kill Dong Thief on the spot, if unfortunately fails, there is also Wen Chou to guard, you are outside to respond, you can ensure that I am foolproof."
"But...... Lord, I'd better stay, Zhang He's high view is enough......"
"No, don't forget, you have to settle that kid quickly, Zhao Yun still trusts you, there is enough Wen Chou here, don't forget, he is also a ****!"
I don't know why, hearing the word ****, Zhao Yun's cold hair stood on end, he calmed down, and fell to the tree, only to see the door open gently, but he heard two plops, and the two guards at the door were gently killed by Yan Liang, the lights went out, and there was no life.
Zhao Yun didn't dare to stay, so he hurriedly turned over and left the house and drove out of Luoyang overnight.
