Chapter 60: Survival by Concealment
"This kind of poison, Master has never seen it?!" Wang Li was stunned, "What should I do?" ”
Ximen Tianyu didn't answer, he stroked his chin and contemplated deeply.
"After the poison takes effect, it can cause a variety of diseases without side effects. It is equivalent to a combination of multiple poisons, which may be a compound poison developed and combined. Ximen Tianyu shook his head and sighed, "I can't solve all the symptoms at the moment, and I don't have any antidote. But you can go and pick the herbs in the dove poison forest, at least some of them for your brothers. However, if you can use such compound poisons, Tang Pei and a few of them are really masters of using poisons! Nowadays, most of the poisons on the rivers and lakes are ordinary poisons, and compound poisons are only used by masters......"
A master of using drugs? Tang Pei and they are all hunters, how can they be good at using poison?
Is it hard to say......
"Master......" Wang Li's voice trembled, "will they... Are you from the Five Poisons Hall? ”
"It's hard to say." Ximen Tianyu's expression was serious, "The Five Poisons Hall is closed to the outside world, and no one knows if it really exists. But they themselves may send men and horses to block the people like this. “
"I'm going to have to go inside." Wang Li said, "Even if the Five Poisons Hall comes to stop me, I will enter it." “
"But it also depends on the situation." Ximen Tianyu said solemnly, "If the master and the senior brother are both highly poisoned, they will be unconscious, and they will be confused. If you choose to move forward, you won't be able to. “
"Well, of course I do." Wang Li nodded.
"Let's not talk about it first, let's go and see the situation of the other senior brothers first." Ximen Tianyu said, "As I expected, one of them is the same poison. “
"Hmm." Wang Li nodded in response.
The master and apprentice immediately got up and went to investigate the condition of the remaining brothers.
However, as Ximen Tianyu expected, except for Wang Li, his four disciples were all infected with the same compound poison whose name was unknown.
Ordinary martial arts people, most of them use drugs bought in pharmacies, or go to the mountains and forests to pick some poisonous fruits and grasses, etc., and prepare them according to some books. Most of the masters of using poison are well versed in Qimen poison, and even have their own poison refining room, and they will go deep into swamps and jungles and other places to collect poison juice from snakes and scorpions, and all of them are compound poisons. Like the dove poison forest, it is a natural treasure trove prepared for poison masters.
Ximen Tianyu had actually seen a lot of compound poisons, but he had never heard of this poison applied to several of his disciples.
After seeing a few senior brothers, the two came to the camp again.
"But, little brother Wang, have you visited your senior brothers in the tent? It was still full of poisonous mist, how could you not be poisoned? Ximen Tianyu remembered that Wang Li'an was fine, so he asked.
"I saw a different color in the air, and I held my breath." Wang Li replied.
"Wouldn't it? This kind of poison should be able to escape into the body three feet away. Ximen Tianyu was deeply suspicious, "And when it is cast, it must be colorless and odorless, and then it will change color." Otherwise, with the insight of your senior brothers, you would have discovered it long ago, and you would not have been poisoned so deeply. ”
"Please also rest assured, Master. The disciple's body is currently in the same condition, except for some fatigue after the battle. Wang Li smiled and arched his hand, "In such a state, it is true that he has not been poisoned, right?" ”
Having said that, Wang Li himself was still a little worried.
According to Master, it is estimated that this poison will spread colorlessly and odorlessly when it is cast, and it can penetrate deep into the body three feet away, and then dye the air purple. In this way, I currently say that I am poisoned, and I can't perceive it.
But since you're still in good shape, you don't have to worry about it first, right?
"Strange." Ximen Tianyu pursed his lips and didn't ask any more.
………………
The two of them were at the edge of the camp, tidying up the scene and searching for something that the hunters might have left behind.
"Luckily, I did something in time to let the monkeys go." Ximen Tianyu sighed while groping, "Otherwise, the strength of you and me will be too great to fight against this group of mandrills." ”
"Master, how is your true level?" Wang Li asked.
This was asked, but Ximen Tianyu was silent.
"I've seen a lot of passers-by say that the Youlan Sect is also a big sect. Since Master is one of only four first-class martial artists in the Wandering Scale Sect, he won't even be able to ...... this group of monkeys."
Before the words fell, Ximen Tianyu, who was three zhang away, quietly appeared directly in front of Wang Li. Then he leaned down and whispered to Wang Li: "Little Brother Wang, as a master, I will teach you another truth, right?" ”
Wang Li was extremely surprised, this speed was as fast as the speed of the Summoning Flame Envoy's Birth Law Dodge that day!
"Never show your true strength to outsiders, and hide it if you can." Ximen Tianyu said in a low voice, "Every time you make one more move, the other party can come up with one more way to deal with you." With great power comes great responsibility. Sometimes showing one's high strength to the outside world will cause trouble and cause irreversible consequences. Do you know why the world's number one 'Renzi Dragon' wants to leave the Black Continent and escape the world? ”
"No, I don't know." Wang Li replied.
"The name of the number one in the world is so loud, it has been seven years since others left, and this continent still spreads his name so loudly!" Ximen Tianyu said solemnly, "Not to mention when he was there!" You must have heard that before he won the top spot when he was young, he traveled around the mainland and made a name for himself. Then more and more people challenged him, and he killed them one by one! In more than ten years, Ren Zilong has killed no less than 100 challengers! ”
Wang Li was surprised, the same story, the abbot had already told him back then.
"Those warriors all have wives and children and families, and if Ren Zilong kills them, it will ruin the lives of his wives and children! Even in the future, they will be shrouded in hatred for Renzilong, and they may not know what they will do! Why did the dragon kill them? Ximen Tianyu asked rhetorically, "If you don't kill him, those warriors will come to challenge him endlessly." He has been practicing martial arts for many years, not to fall into an endless and vicious fight with others, but for the true meaning of the word 'martial arts'! For the sweat left on the cheeks and back when punching, for the pleasure of the blood meridians flowing throughout the body! ”
"This is the true meaning of martial arts! When he was young, Ren Zilong was just like you and me now, roaming the chaotic rivers and lakes that rely on his fists to speak. Ximen Tianyu shook his head, "If the people of the Hei Fei Dynasty could understand, they would not rely on force to hold power, and they would not be so popular." Ren Zilong is trying to do this, and many people in the world have already seen it. ”
"And without strength, these people can't speak in this dynasty!"
Wang Li listened to Master's words and couldn't help but think deeply.
There is indeed some truth in what Master said.
The abbot was tired of fighting and became a monk twenty years ago and took refuge in Buddhism. Ren Zilong was tired of fighting viciously, and after winning the top spot, he left the mainland.
Fuchang real people don't like to repay grievances, so they are relaxed and parade the world without worry. All the strong people who are hidden in the world and never care about the ranking of the "Crossing the Sun List" are all pursuing higher martial arts for the same reason!
"Yes, Master." Wang Lisui asked again, "Then we can't be on the list, what is the purpose of hiding our strength?" ……”
"Oh, I said far away. I wanted to talk about the truth of how to behave in the world, but I actually talked about martial arts. Ximen Tianyu shook his head with a smile, "Those like us don't have any strength." If you want to do what you really want to do, you must also have the corresponding strength. With strength, you can speak in this dynasty. Don't show it when we don't already have it. Otherwise, someone stronger than you will come and kill you first! Whether it's selfish or justified, if you can't defeat him, everything you want to do will be in vain. ”
"So you have to store up your strength and work hard to improve yourself. On the premise of staying alive, try to hide it as much as possible. First, it is not for the sake of rumors or fame, and secondly, it is also for the purpose of avoiding disasters and avoiding disasters. ”
"Makes sense......" Wang Li nodded in thought.
Thinking of the abbot, I grew up since I was a child, and I had never seen the abbot perform the sixth realm of the "Diamond Sutra" that made the whole body red and could kill several people with one punch. The abbot has been hiding it for more than ten years, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long to be found by the white-haired man.
But fortunately, the fact that I have the "Five Spirits Heart Formula" is hidden from everyone. I have hidden it, and the master has never found out. And if you can hide it, you can indeed avoid many disasters.
"It seems that I will have strength in the future, and I will try to hide it as much as possible on the premise of saving my life." Wang Li pondered.
"So my true strength, naturally, I can't tell you." Ximen Tianyu smiled, "The **** and Zhaoyan's competition seems to be a life-threatening fight." But in reality, neither of us was at full strength. Even your brothers. ”
These words really surprised Wang Li.
If you think about it, it's right, the senior brothers have been teaching under the master for many years. How can it be inferior to a junior brother of his own?
"I know that, I thought it was strange for a long time. Master, brothers, how can this be this strength. Wang Li smiled.
"Well, it's good to understand." Ximen Tianyu smiled, "In this way, even if you go alone, you can live longer." ”
………………
After packing their things, the two wanted to rest.
But in this case, how can you still fall asleep?
Wang Li was meditating cross-legged, while Ximen Tianyu strolled to the edge of the small pool. In front of me is a waterfall that converges into a small pool, and the sound of water is not stopped. Behind the waterfall curtain is where the mandrills jumped out, and according to their own speculation, there should be a hole the size of a mandrill. And with the water curtain in the way, you can't see anything inside.
"Little Brother Wang."
"Master?" Wang Li immediately opened his eyes.
"Do you want to see, what's behind the waterfall?" Ximen Tianyu was interested, "The mountain mandrill peak stone waterfall has been standing here for many years. In the hands of Tang Pei, he killed many warriors who wanted to explore the jungle. I'd like to see it, there's a bit of ...... in the hole."
"Roar, roar, roar! --"Before the words fell, a roar came from the direction of the waterfall!
"What?!"
"Impossible?!" The master and apprentice were both extremely surprised, they didn't expect that more than 20 nests would be dispatched, and there were mandrills in the cave?!
"Damn, it's all my fault for delaying too much time!" Ximen Tianyu said solemnly, "Get up, little brother Wang." ”
Just as Wang Li got up, Ximen Tianyu turned around and smiled.
"There are no outsiders here, so let you take a look casually, as part of the strength of the division!"
