Chapter 17 Poison Testing
Fang Zhong stood up and took a look, the two people who came in knew each other, one was Mo Lan, the young man who had fought before, and the other was the unknown girl who had fought against the enemy hand in hand. I just heard their words outside the door, and it was actually a brother and sister relationship. That Mo Lan's face was angry, and when he saw that it was Fang Zhong, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Mo Lan was stunned and said, "It's you?" The girl beside him didn't expect to see Fang Zhong here again, and sighed softly. Fang Zhong arched his hand, and was about to speak, when he took a step ahead of Jin Yu and said, "Do you recognize us!?" The little face has changed color a little, but these two people don't know where to recognize themselves, and they have worked hard to run out once, but they will be recognized in a blink of an eye, and they already have a plan to smear oil on the soles of their feet. Mo Lan snorted heavily and said, "I mean him!" Finger pointed at Fang Zhong. Away from Jin Yu's heart, it turned out that he didn't know himself, and he thought about what they had to do with it, so he squinted at Fang Zhong and then at Mo Lan. Fang Zhong smiled awkwardly and said, "I was eager to save people outside the city that day, please forgive me for the offense." Mo Lan sneered: "It's good to say, it's all you who hindered me from getting out and helped me get out of danger, and the merits and demerits are not indebted." What have you come to teach you today? Fang Zhong said: "I was entrusted by the owner of Lei Zhuang to bring a few words to ......" The girl next to Mo Lan said timidly: "Everyone has been released, and Lord Lei still refuses to take a break." Thinking that it wasn't that Yanhong who had been wronged, he instigated the owner of Lei Zhuang to send someone to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, if this was the case, it would inevitably start again. Fang Zhong shook his head and said, "It's not to ask for trouble, but to remind your hall master that when Lord Lei Zhuang disturbed your hall, another young person sneaked into the backyard, intending to disadvantage your hall." ”
Mo Lan had a suspicious look on his face. Fang Zhongdao: "I saw this with my senior brother with my own eyes, and in a fight in the backyard, the other party was really weird, this girl saw it with my own eyes." Fang Zhong brought the girl out as a personal witness, but he wanted his words to carry more weight, but he didn't want the girl to have never mentioned the matter between him and Zhou Qing, so Mo Lan didn't know at all. Mo Lan turned her eyes to look at her sister-in-law, and saw her sister-in-law nodding shyly, and suddenly suddenly, it turned out that the woman she had worked so hard to catch was rescued by Fang Zhong, but the sister knew the truth but only said that she broke into two strange people to save her, and dared to love two groups of people, no wonder she also showed surprise when she first entered the door, she had seen it. Mo Lan snorted and said: "The trespassers in the backyard are really some young people, since there is a batch of them, I don't care about the second batch, am I afraid that I will invite Yuetang." The words were sarcastic, and he even scolded Fang Zhong into it.
Fang Zhong didn't take it to heart, he just wanted to leave as soon as possible after explaining his words, but he raised his eyebrows from Jin Yu, raised his hand and slapped the table, and with a snap, Fang Zhong was startled. "We kindly informed you, but we were very angry and didn't want to see you, and it was rude to know some hospitality there." She was angry when she entered this Invitation Moon Hall, and then she took the opportunity to have a seizure.
Mo Lan said angrily: "Honorable guests are naturally treated kindly, and a mere lackey of Crouching Tiger Village is not qualified enough." ”
Li Jinyu sneered at each other: "Who is the lackey of Crouching Tiger Village, I am a member of the Maoshan faction, you can see it clearly." After speaking, he tilted his face and looked proud. Mo Lan saw that she was not a Taoist or a monk, with a green scarf on her head, dressed as rich and wealthy but a little nondescript, and the Maoshan faction was even more unheard of, and I didn't know if what she said was true or false, Mo Lan shook her head and said: "I haven't heard of it, that mountain, that temple, that temple, that temple?" Li Jinyu pouted and said: "Lonely and unheard, you don't know this, you listen carefully, be careful that it is too big and scares you." Glancing at Fang Zhong, he said, "You tell him." Mo Lan looked at Fang Zhong and said strangely, "Aren't you from the Kunlun faction?" "On the day of the fight, I heard with my own ears that Qian Wenyi claimed to be a disciple of Kunlun, but this kid is not.
Fang Zhong said embarrassedly: "This ...... This one...... The ancestor of our sect is a disciple of Kunlun, although he is self-reliant, he is also considered a Kunlun lineage, but it has only been inherited for three hundred years, and now ...... "I have to deal with the origin I heard from Puxuan."
Mo Lan's disdain was even worse, only what Fang Zhong said was true, what kind of Maoshan disciple he was, he knew that the small sect was nameless, so he came out with a Kunlun high hat to swagger, and there were few people in the world who tended to be inflammatory, and there was nothing strange about it, but although he was nameless, it was not in vain to give it to his subordinates, so it was not easy for him to escape the difficulties of the day. Mo Lan laughed and said: "Three hundred years of inheritance, it must be famous all over the world by now, and there are countless high places." Look up for a long time. ”
Li Jinyu couldn't hear the sarcasm in Mo Lan's words, and when she saw him complimenting, she was just as he said, she was happy, and her anger disappeared a little, she smiled and said: "You don't believe that you are lonely and unheard, but now you can accept it?" We are here for the safety of your Invitation Moon Hall, not to run errands for others, how can a kindness be despised by others. ”
Mo Lan rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Thank you so much for the girl's kindness, but I don't know how these small things are not conducive to my invitation to the Moon Hall, and I want to beg for advice." ”
Li Jinyu didn't know what was going on in the meantime, so he naturally couldn't answer, so he hurriedly said to the other party: "You tell him." Mo Lan and the girl turned their heads to look at Fang Zhong again, they both felt a little strange, this was a little strange from Jin Yuyi's command, whatever he asked, Fang Zhong had to answer, the same door is not like the same door, and the master and servant are not like the master and servant. Fang Zhong said solemnly: "Listening to what Lord Lei Zhuang said, it was the people of the Poison Hall who broke into the Invitation Moon Hall, and they were good at using poison, so they had to give a special notice to prevent them from falling for tricks." Mo Lan's face changed and said, "It's someone from the Poison Hall!?" Then you have to be careful, I immediately told the whole hall to be careful that someone poisoned the food between the dishes. Stay for the two of you, I'll come when I go, sister, you entertain your brother on your behalf, don't pass for the time being. The words became polite, and as soon as he finished speaking, he arched his hand and turned away.
Li Jinyu said dissatisfiedly: "This is gone, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and you don't want to repay the favor of others." She also counted on Invite Yue Tang to treat her well. Fang Zhong thought to himself that the words had already arrived, and the entrusted matter was over, so he said: "If there is nothing to do, I will leave below." The girl said softly: "Accept it with a plum and repay it with a peach, how can you let the two of you go for nothing, and please rest for a while, we will never neglect the guests." Fang Zhong was silent, and Jin Yu was already smiling and said, "It's still the little sister who is knowledgeable, since that's the case, it's okay to bother." The girl smiled and said, "You're welcome. Fang Zhong couldn't leave at this time, so he had to sit down again.
The girl personally served tea to Fang Zhong and the others, chatted a few words, and said from Jin Yu: "When I first entered your hall, I looked at the endless bamboo sea, endless, and I don't know what scenic spots are hidden. Can you take a look? Fang Zhongxin said: "It's coming, it's coming, and she doesn't know what kind of trouble she has to do before she is willing." The girl said: "Poor mountains and remote areas, only afraid of not being able to enter the eyes of others, here here are green bamboos in a radius of hundreds of miles, and the halls are all humble rooms, and they have always been poor, and they are not as good as the flowers in the mortal world." Leaving Jin Yu said: "The carved column Zhu Pavilion is also very boring, but I think there is a unique style here, I don't know if the little sister can let me wait for the lucky feast of the eyes." The girl hesitated and said, "Although the distinguished guest has a request, but ......" jumped up from Jinyu and said with a smile: "But what? Let's see what is tight. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the girl and walked out the door, leaving Fang Zhong behind. Fang Zhong shook his head and had no choice but to go out with them.
The girl was dragged forward by Jin Yu, and she couldn't help herself. Leaving Jin Yu is all the way from the Moon Altar, he deliberately walked to the back hall, while walking and looking, he stopped to look at the novelty, and asked if he was puzzled, looking at what he was comfortable with.
"Why are these clumps of bamboo so short?"
"This is Luohan bamboo, the bamboo is short and fat, so it has this name, and the front is Xiangfei bamboo and phoenix tail bamboo." The girl explained.
Li Jinyu nodded and said: "I didn't expect that the little bamboo has so many tricks, I didn't hear you talk about it, where do you know." After walking a few steps, I saw a purple bamboo forest again, and said busily: "I know this, it must be purple bamboo, it is said that this bamboo grows in Putuo in the South China Sea." ”
"Exactly, but the purple bamboo is purple when it grows, and it is still emerald green at the beginning, and when it grows up, it gradually changes color and becomes a deep purple color. This purple bamboo is tough, and some of the musical instruments in my hall are made of purple bamboo. The girl said as she walked to the edge of the purple bamboo forest. There are indeed a few traces of felling on the edge of the bamboo forest, among the many purple bamboo bushes, the depths are different, and there are also a few weak green bamboos, which are new branches and have not yet grown.
Fang Zhong listened to it interesting behind the two of them, since this bamboo grows in a place like Putuo in the South China Sea, it is not more than usual, he folded a bamboo branch and put it in front of him, the bamboo is turquoise, it has not changed color, a few bamboo leaves are swaying, and it is still a new bamboo. Fang Zhong put the bamboo leaves on the tip of his nose and sniffed, smelling a faint fragrance of bamboo, he didn't expect that such a tender green bamboo branch would become purple and black as it grew, but it was not as good as when he was young.
Fang Zhong swayed all the way with a bamboo branch in his hand, and saw that he had crossed a bamboo fence from Jin Yu and the others, and was pointing and discussing with the girl, and there were voices not far away. Fang Zhong walked a few steps, turned around the bamboo forest, and saw a group of people standing by a concave pond, with Mo Lan and Zhengyin among them. Several subordinates of the Yueyue Hall were still holding chickens and dogs and other things in their hands, and they barked a few times from time to time. One said: "Have you poured it down?" See if there's a response. Another said: "It's still fine, nothing out of the ordinary." Zhengyin said, "I'll try." "Stir the jade into the pool, take it out and look at it carefully, the jade color is not harmed at all. Zhengyin said: "It's strange, it's not toxic at all." Animals and other things can't be tried, but living people have to try them? He and Mo Lan looked left and right, and the few people around him immediately lowered their heads, no one is raised by their father's mother, who dares to test poison with their lives. Mo Lan shook his head and said, "Maybe this pool is really non-toxic, I don't know how many other ways to try it?" Zhengyin said: "I believe it won't be long before I know." ”
A group of people stood by the pool and discussed, waiting for the news of the other ways to find out if it was poisonous. Soon, four or five people from the Yueyue Hall came quickly, and Mo Lan hurriedly asked, "Have you tried it?" Several people said in unison: "I tried it, and there is nothing unusual." Zhengyin said: "So it is non-toxic." Maybe the people of the Poison Hall haven't had a chance to do it yet. Mo Lan was noncommittal, and in his doubts, he happened to see his sister walking with Jinyu, Mo Lan said: "My sister came just in time, borrow your strings." The girl approached and said, "What is the use of strings?" Mo Lan said: "Your strings were reconnected by my father with countless broken strings embedded with silver wires, just in time to test the poison." The girl was surprised: "Test the poison? With a flip of her wrist, a thin string emerged from her sleeve and rested on her white and tender little hand. Mo Lan said: "You hang it into the water." The girl did it anyway, and the strings were drawn out after they were in the water, and when she brought them to her eyes, the strings glowed with silver and did not change color. Mo Lan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Sure enough, it is not poisonous, then Lei Peng doesn't know whether he is too worried or deliberately tricked, and the two juniors come to report it, which is really a superfluous move." Then he hated and said: "Even if you deliberately sell your way, how can this feud be easily resolved." ”
Fang Zhong also came to the pool, listened to the words, and thought back to the time when he obviously heard that the two clown-like characters had already started, wasn't it poisoned, so why did they come? While thinking, he gently brushed the water with a bamboo branch in his hand.
Mo Lan raised her eyes and saw Fang Zhong, her face sank and said, "Why did the two of you come here?" Now that the words have been brought and everything has been finished, I will not leave any guests, so please let the two of you go. "It's a send-off.
