Chapter 33: Anomalous Situation
After going to Mr. Qishan's dinner, almost all of them left with a smile on their faces and returned to their temporary residence.
Although at the banquet, Mr. Qi had already hinted that the matter of the ban on the epidemic in Suzhen was about to be resolved, when everyone left, Chen Ting, who was still sending him off, once again made one point clear:
In two days, there will be a vision in Su Town, please don't panic, just stay where you are and wait for the vision to pass, and then Su Zhen will also be unsealed and you can come and go freely.
Xue Yun and the other four also looked happy and returned to Granny Qian's courtyard.
Life is still quite peaceful, but except for Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan, even Su Run and Zhou Yan don't go out.
Granny Qian was very happy, the four of them stayed in the small courtyard and did not go out, she had more people to accompany her, and even her spirit was much better. And because I heard that Su Zhen would be unsealed and opened in a few days, even his eyes lit up a few points, and he joked that Xue Yuan had a lot less time, and every time he was talking, he accidentally talked about her old man, Uncle Wei.
I don't know what the family in the village is like without her these days, I don't know what it's like to cook without her, I don't know if the old man who can cook porridge these days is full, and I don't know if the old man has eaten without her to help sew clothes......
Granny Qian chattered about Uncle Wei's previous troubles, and at the same time was happy to meet in a few days. While worrying that the old man would not have a good time without his own care during this time, he continued to ask Xiao Luo for cooking skills with great interest, saying that he wanted to surprise the old man when he went home. While counting the old man who refused to listen to persuasion, he always went up to the mountains to hunt and go down to the field to pick vegetables to bring him in, and he must have stained and damaged a lot of clothes and shoes, but on the other hand, he couldn't keep his mouth shut and stepped up the progress to complete the clothes and shoes she had been making since she was trapped in Su Town, thinking that she would be able to change them for the old man who should have been disgraced when she went back.
Xue Yan is okay, but Zhou Yan is quite envious.
Three days later, at dusk, the "vision" mentioned by Chen Ting came.
When the afterglow of the setting sun turned into a bright red like blood and dyed the entire Su Town, the calm Su Zhen suddenly shook, and Granny Qian, who was returning from the courtyard to the house to light the lamps and candles for a while, almost fell, and was quickly supported by Xue Yuan beside her.
The house shook for a while, the dust and loess fluttered down, and Xue Yun casually separated a layer of enchantment above her head, blocking the dust and sawdust that were about to fall on her and Granny Qian's heads.
Granny Qian suddenly saw this, and was a little frightened: "This ...... What's going on?"
Xue Yun helped Granny Qian to stand by the door of the main house, but Xiao Luo, Su Run, and Zhou Yan stood in the courtyard.
Everyone looked up, and the enchantment with a streamer that had been shrouded in the sky over Su Zhen showed a complicated pattern little by little, starting from nothing, gradually shining clearly, and the entire Su Zhen seemed to be covered under a huge net. At the same time, in the north of the town, a dazzling pillar of light rose into the sky from the depths of Mr. Qishan's mansion, and to the streamer barrier above his head, it merged with the barrier, or specifically, with the spreading and shining lines on the barrier.
In the entire Su Town, the spiritual power that had only been slightly disturbed before was completely turbulent, but it was all circled within Su Zhen several times under the restriction of the enchantment array that had not dissipated overhead, and it did not overflow.
Except for Granny Qian, who was a little flustered, the other four looked at each other, Xue Yun nodded solemnly to the other three, and Su Run took Zhou Yan and Xiao Luo out of the small courtyard first, and went in the direction of Qishanhui's mansion that he had been to once before.
"Xue girl, this is ...... They are ......"
"Don't worry, Granny Qian. Xue Yun helped Granny Qian to the side and sat down, and said calmly: "It will be safe here." ”
Granny Qian opened her mouth and didn't make any more sounds, but her heart was beating harder and heavier.
What does Xue Yuan mean...... Sioux Town in danger?
Granny Qian had countless chaotic thoughts in her heart, but she forced herself to sit on the chair, watching Xue Yun take out something out of thin air that she didn't understand very well, standing in the middle of the small courtyard, a faint light lit up in the palm of her hand, for a while, all over the courtyard, the corner of the wall in the east, the bottom of the tree in the west, the table and chair a little bit, the door of the stove room on the other side, and the gate of the courtyard at the front...... All corners lit up in turn, and the light in Xue Yuan's palm was the same as one after another.
Granny Qian suddenly remembered......
Xiao Luo doesn't go out these days, in addition to cooking, she also helps her clean up the yard. The place where the light came on was all cleaned and sorted out by him......
This is......
On the other side, Su Run, Xiao Luo and Zhou Yan had quickly rushed to the door of Qishan's mansion.
Not surprisingly, someone stopped it.
There are a total of 22 monks, the highest in the middle stage of foundation building, and although the subsequent cultivation is insufficient, they are still within the foundation building.
The twenty-two foundation building monks under the Qishan Hui Gate, led by Qin Yan and Duan Wei whom they had seen, stood guard in front of the gate of the Qishan Hui Mansion, put on a posture, and waited for the battle.
Qin Yan had delivered medicine to the small courtyard, and he had a bit of communication, but at this time, he was holding a long knife in front of them with a tense face, and his eyes were full of fierceness.
The one who spoke, but it was Duan Wei who they had only met once:
"Mr. Qi is right. Duan Wei had a cold face, his eyes were not as fierce as his own eyes, but he was indifferent: "You guys, sure enough, are the most likely to do bad things." ”
"Oh?" Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows and smiled: "So Mr. Qi thinks so highly of us?"
Duan Wei smiled coldly and did not speak again.
In fact, Xue Yan did not come over together, Xiao Luo was seriously injured and had not recovered, and Zhou Yan was only in the early stage of foundation building, and only Su Run was still an opponent among the four. But after all, during the same foundation building period, the battle of the twenty-two monks on this side was more than enough against Su Run.
It's just that......
In the depths of the mansion, Chen Ting stood in the last courtyard gate with two knives in his hand, and behind him was the deepest and tightest place in this mansion, which Xiao Luo saw when they passed by the banquet three days ago, and specially set up a place for enchantment.
At this time, the edge of this spacious courtyard was in ruins, what had been vigorously damaged, but in the center was a magic circle composed of strange patterns of dark red flashing streamers, and the light of the pillar of light rising into the sky in the center of the circle had eased a lot, and it was no longer dazzling, but it suddenly flickered slowly like a heart, and a crystal clear strip-like object could be vaguely seen in the package of light. The pillar of light that wrapped it fused with the flickering lines on the enchantment above Su Town, and the dark red magic circle patterns firmly rooted on the ground below, with the change in strength and weakness as if the heartbeat was like breathing, the dark red lines on the ground quickly spread along the direction of the lines on the enchantment in the sky, and spread to Su Zhen, each with a blood-like scarlet color.
Qi Shanhui, who was respected by everyone in Su Zhen as Mr. Qi, was standing on the side of the central magic circle, his face was a little pale, the spiritual power on his body was not stable, but his eyes were frighteningly bright. He stared closely at the place where the light in the center of the circle was wrapped, and the corners of his mouth became more and more curved: "It's almost ...... It's almost there...... It's almost there...... Wan Yin ......"
"Father-in-law!" Just as Qishanhui began to murmur a little distractedly, Chen Ting, who was guarding outside the courtyard gate not far away, suddenly issued a warning.
Qi Shan paused for a moment, and then glanced at the center of the magic circle quite gently and eagerly, before slowly turning around and facing the person who had already used a defensive magic weapon to take Chen Ting's blow.
Xiao Luo, Su Run, and Zhou Yan.
The three of them are here, intact.
Qishanhui still had a smile on his face, but it was completely different from the gentle smile they had seen three days ago. A little crazy, a little excited, even a little hideous.
Qi Shan only raised his eyebrows when he saw the three of them coming here, but Chen Ting was obviously very surprised:
"How are you ...... Qin Yan ......"
The three of them came together, but they did not stand side by side. Xiao Luo was a few steps behind the two of them, and at this time he happened to be obscured by the figures of Su Run and Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan stood beside Su Run, who was still holding a defensive magic weapon, and shook his hands with a smile, Chen Ting looked closely, only to notice that some shallow powder fell from her fingertips, which was very easy to ignore, and quickly drifted away with the wind.
Chen Ting's heart tightened, and he took two steps back suddenly.
Zhou Yan didn't care, after all, she knew best that her poison was not capable of bringing down a monk who had built the foundation of the Great Perfection, and she couldn't even influence others at all: "We must not be opponents in a real fight, except for Chen Daoyou, we also used a little trick." Zhou Yan is not talented, and he is very interested in poison. Speaking of which, if they are all ordinary medicinal materials, my current ability is really not worthy of the poison of the Zhuji Cultivator, but who made Mr. Qi and Chen Daoyou so helpful and gave us a lot of elixirs?"
Chen Ting's face turned pale: "You can be poisonous?"
"Medicines and drugs are never separated. ”
Before Chen Ting could speak, Qi Shanhui smiled: "Those who study medicine study poison can be very different from those who practice poison. Originally...... You are a poison maker specializing in poison. ”
"Yes!" Zhou Yan generously admitted: "It's just that Mr. Qi and Chen Daoyou didn't ask directly, and they thought that I was majoring in medical skills, and I only knew a little about using poison." ”
Qi Shanhui didn't speak, he didn't care at all, but Chen Ting clenched the double knives in his hand, and the blades forced out sharp spiritual light, ready to start at any time: "You said that you were going to study the epidemic, and you specially wanted a cure three days ago, did you deliberately mislead?"
"Hey, hey, don't wronged me!" Zhou Yan waved his hand again and again: "I'm really interested in the epidemic, it's not an excuse! ”
There are not many people who study poison art in the Kyushu Continent, and more monks still focus on cultivation. Poison research requires talent and a lot of energy, and it is probably difficult to succeed without inheritance and teaching. What's more, the poison that ordinary poison makers refine with their own spiritual power fusion can only have an effect on cultivation that is lower than their own, and only has a small impact on those who are at the same level as themselves. A poison maker who can directly poison a cultivator of the same level or even influence a few small levels of cultivation higher than himself is already a great genius, extremely rare, and a poison maker who can cross more levels, or even surpass a big realm, has never been seen in the Kyushu Continent for many years.
In most cases, poison makers use poison, and the same level may not be useful, so it is better to fight directly, let alone cross the level. Sometimes it's not necessarily more useful than some special magic talismans. This is also the main reason why drug production has never flourished.
This is also the reason why Qishan returned to Chen Ting and they let go of Zhou Yan after the temptation. Zhou Yan, who didn't show much hard study of poison arts, only had cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, and even if he could make poison, it would probably be of little use to them and those under him.
Behold......
Although Zhou Yan's poison technique is exquisite, it is still within the scope of knowledge in the Kyushu Continent. The reason why I was able to put down those monks outside before was because those people were defenseless and focused on Su Run, giving her time to secretly poison and carefully urge her, and secondly, she really broke out this time when she was refining poison, and she could only pour the highest amount of refining qi in the past, but although she didn't put it down directly this time, it also slowed down the two enemies in the middle stage of foundation building, so that Su Run could seize the opportunity to subdue in the blink of an eye.
"Sending medicine is also a temptation. Su Run said in a deep voice: "On the first day, we found out what medicinal materials we went out to buy, estimated the possible prescriptions, and guessed the depth of those who understood medicine among us. On the second day, according to the guess, the medicine was delivered to the door, and by the way, the injury was checked with his own eyes to judge the possibility of medication. On the third day, seeing that we no longer bought medicinal materials, we could make sure that the varieties of elixir medicinal materials in the two days before and after were enough for our needs, and we could estimate what we could probably do with any medicine in our hands. ”
"It's just a pity, although my medical skills are not good, I am afraid that the medicine for healing can be guessed by you clearly, but it is ...... Hehe, it's not me talking big. Zhou Yan's eyes were shining, and he was quite complacent: "How do these things make poisons, how many different poisons can be blended, and how many of them are rare prescriptions, and ordinary people can't know...... This kind of thing, you guy here who knows a little bit of poison medicine is too far behind!"
"Huh. When Chen Ting was about to make a move, Qi Shanhui laughed, and his eyes fell on Xiao Luo behind Su Run and Zhou Yan: "Do you want to ...... Delaying time?"
