Chapter 35: Poisoning

readx; Zhong Yueyun tried his best to intercept the masked man who was chasing after Hu Qi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info looked at the situation that was getting worse and worse, and moved closer to Li Xiaobei: "Let's withdraw!" ā€

"Hmm!"

Zhong and Li glanced at each other and retreated towards the depths of the woods.

At this time, not long after the gong sounded after the third watch, suddenly, there was a rush of horses' hooves on the street outside the Hufu Gate. I saw that a man galloped to the door of Hufu, raised his eyes and glanced at the gate, his body was not supported to roll off the horse, a child slid off the horse with his body, he narrowly caught the child, his abdomen suddenly had a large area of blood gushing out, he reached out to cover it, struggled to get up, stumbled towards the door of the house, and knocked on the knocker with the last strength.

In the North Garden of Hu Mansion, the old lady of the Hu family is sitting in danger.

"Old lady, we're in the north... The trail found a lot of children... The corpse of Miss Cousin with a man... Besieged by a gang of masked men, brothers... No... Please... Please send someone to the old woman... Reinforcements ......" Hu Qi closed his eyes and fainted.

Mrs. Hu angrily slammed the table, the teacup on the table was unstable, fell to the ground, rolled several times, and stopped. Everyone in the room was heavy.

"Take Hu Qi and this child down, and ask carefully when you wake up!" The old lady looked at Second Mrs. Liu with a fierce voice, "Second daughter-in-law, carefully stare at my 'good' granddaughter-in-law, Bai Ling has three long and two short, I peeled her skin!" ā€

It wasn't a quiet night.

There was a piece of paper next to the castle lord's bookcase. It reads: "Today, someone found a large number of children's corpses in the woods under the mountain in the north of the city. ā€

The lord of the city can't sleep peacefully, and the various yayi under his command can't sleep peacefully, and the yayi can't sleep peacefully, and their wives and children naturally can't sleep peacefully.

Of course, Zhong Yueyun and Li Xiaobei couldn't sleep peacefully.

The bleak moonlight after the heavy rain shrouded the vast forest, and there was silence all around, except for the occasional sharp cry of frightened birds.

At the cost of the lives of many secret guards, Zhong Yueyun and Li Xiaobei gradually broke away from the fight behind them, and the two of them also slowed down due to physical exhaustion.

Suddenly, Li Xiaobei paused, held on to a big tree, and his fingers were secretly forced, almost sinking into the trunk. He fell to his knees and spewed out a mouthful of black blood. Hearing the movement, Zhong Yueyun turned his head suddenly, "What's wrong?" ā€

"Nothing." Li Xiaobei shook his head lightly and replied in a low voice. It's just that Zhong Yueyun saw the huge wound on his back quietly spreading a layer of dead ash.

"But that knife was poisonous?" Zhong Yueyun was shocked.

"It doesn't matter."

Li Xiaobei wanted to stand up but found that his hands and feet were weak and fell back again. Zhong Yueyun hurriedly supported him, and as soon as he got closer, he saw that his face had been covered with a layer of black gas. Zhong Yueyun chuckled in her heart and asked, "Do you know what poison it is, tell me, tell me!" ā€

Li Xiaobei pushed Zhong Yueyun weakly, and his voice began to be weak: "I'm sorry, I may not be able to help you." Let's go, go to Qingyun Mountain to find my master, he... He can help you..."

Zhong Yueyun scolded angrily: "What are you going to go!" You're going to die?! I tell you, I don't! This matter is none of your business, you were involved because you saved me, why did you die here! ā€

"I'm obviously looking for evil spirits, can you not be so narcissistic..."Li Xiaobei smiled weakly.

"Shut up! In short, I won't allow it if it has anything to do with me! If you cheer me up, I won't believe that the immortal method of your famous Qingyun Mountain can not be detoxified! ā€

Li Xiaobei lowered his head and looked at his hands, this was the first time he had killed someone. He didn't want to kill, he didn't want his hands to be covered in blood. But his conscience told him that if he didn't kill them, they would harm many more!

Zhong Yueyun scolded on the surface, but in fact she was scared and anxious in her heart, she slapped Li Xiaobei's hand: "Look at it, what do you say!" ā€

"I killed someone, broke the rules of the mountain, and I can't use the exercises of Qingyun Mountain."

"Why are you so confused!" Zhong Yueyun was very anxious, but there was no way to take the stubborn Li Xiaobei. Suddenly, she remembered a story her father told her when she was a child sitting on a swing. She sat in front of Li Xiaobei with an idea: "I'll tell you a story." ā€

Li Xiaobei glanced at Zhong Yueyun and sighed: "Don't waste time, let's go, your body won't be able to support it for long." ā€

Zhong Yueyun didn't hear it, and talked to himself.

It is said that once upon a time there was a Zen practitioner who was meditating by the river when he heard the sound of struggle. When I opened my eyes, I saw a scorpion struggling in the water.

When he reached out to fish it out, he was stung by the scorpion's stinger.

After a while, he heard the sound of struggle again. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the scorpion had fallen into the water again. He rescued him again, and, of course, was stung again.

He continued to take a seat. A little later, the same misfortune happened to him again.

The fisherman next to him said, "You are so stupid, don't you know that scorpions can sting?" ā€

"Yes, I've been stung three times by it."

"Then why did you save it?"

"It is in its nature to sting, compassion is my nature, and my nature does not change because of its nature."

At this time, he heard the sound of struggle again. At first glance, it was still the scorpion. He looked at his swollen hand, looked at the scorpion struggling in the water, and without hesitation, reached out to it again.

At this time, the fisherman handed him a dry branch. The Zen master used this dead branch to scoop up the scorpion and put it on the shore.

This time, his hand wasn't being stung.

The fisherman smiled and said, "Mercy is right. Be merciful to the scorpion, and be merciful to yourself. Therefore, compassion requires the means of compassion. ā€

"The original intention of your mountain rules is to abuse immortal power to hurt the weak world, and it is the mercy of Qingyun Mountain. But if it is forbidden to use immortal power to eliminate evil, but is punished by evil forces, doesn't this encourage evil arrogance and violate this kind of compassion? Mercy requires the means of compassion. Now that you are a Zen practitioner, and those bad guys are poisonous scorpions, you are kind to them, and you have been stung by them, do you want to be wrong all the time? Killing them is the means of mercy, and only by punishing the evil and upholding justice is mercy! Zhong Yueyun is kind and seductive. Li Xiaobei's eyebrows loosened slightly, and Zhong Yueyun said gently, "You see that you don't have bad intentions, right, if you have bad intentions, you won't abide by this rule, since you don't have bad intentions, and you don't violate the original intention of this regulation, why do you stick to the rules and harm yourself?" ā€

"But ......"

"But what! Do you have to kill me to be willing? ā€

……

Neither of them spoke, and there was silence in the air. What kind of stone heads did Qingyun Mountain teach! Zhong Yueyun scolded secretly, and the hope in his eyes gradually faded.

"Carry me to the water source."

"What?"

"I can't walk, carry me to a place with a water source, and I can detoxify!"

Zhong Yueyun reacted, and the surprise made her ignore Li Xiaobei's big white eyes, she didn't say a word, squatted on the ground, and pulled the paralyzed Li Xiaobei on her back.

What does it matter to you whether I die or not, silly girl...... Li Xiaobei leaned on Zhong Yueyun's thin back and closed his eyes weakly.
