Chapter 80: The Seven Star Needle Thorns

The candle swayed slightly, overflowing with a faint fragrance. Baidu: real name +

Meng Xiyao picked up a piece of fruit shell from Sikong Yao's palm, the shell was dark brown, the fragments were hard, and there was a black film on the inner surface, which really looked like a walnut shell at first glance.

There was an extraordinary tacit understanding between the two, and Sikong Yao had heard Meng Xiyao's deliberately raised voice before, and he understood this trick to divert the tiger from the mountain.

Taking advantage of the gap between Meng Xiyao and the housekeeper, Sikong Yao sneaked into the kitchen.

The abnormal behavior of the owner and his wife made Sikong Yao and Meng Xiyao have to suspect that there must be something strange in this.

However, Sikong Yao touched the kitchen and found no traces, but only found these few pieces of husk crumbs in the trash can.

Meng Xiyao put the broken fruit shell on the tip of his nose and sniffed, coughed violently a few times, and his expression became solemn.

Sikong Yao noticed the abnormality and asked, "Xiyao, is there anything wrong with these walnuts?" ”

Meng Xiyao's eyes became sharp, and he said solemnly: "This is not a walnut. ”

"What's not a walnut?"

"Walnut, also known as walnut, has oval leaflets, smooth exocarp, hard endocarp, and brain-shaped wrinkles on the fruit. However, although this husk is very similar to a walnut shell, it does not have the unique texture of a walnut, and if I am not mistaken, this one should be a poppy husk. ”

Meng Xiyao said the last three words slowly, and with a click, the poppy shells in Sikong Yao's hands were scattered all over the ground.

"You mean the opium poppy that refines opium?"

Although the toxicity is much less than that of the poppy extract, it is also an irresistible existence for ordinary people or drug exciters.

In 2009, China issued the "List of Non-edible Substances and Food Additives Likely to Be Illegally Added to Food", which clearly stated that poppy husks are absolutely not allowed to be added to the following food categories: hot pot, hot pot base, snacks, lo-mei products, and beverages.

As a chef, you can't allow this to happen.

"Not good. That girl is in danger! ”

Sikong Yao suddenly remembered something, opened the glass window suddenly, and a storm swept in, but there was no trace of the girl.

Meng Xiyao asked, "What happened?" ”

Sikong Yao hurriedly explained: "Xi Yao. Do you remember the young girl we met in the evening, and she had come to my room from the eaves outside the window, as if to say something to me, when suddenly the butler appeared, and the girl ran away at once. Now that you think about it, there must be something wrong with the housekeeper! ”

"I knocked on the girl's door earlier, and there should be no one inside, according to you." Meng Xiyao poked his head out of the window to look out, and said at the same time: "It seems that the window should have been locked by the housekeeper." The housekeeper had the keys to all the rooms in his hands. ”

"Xiyao, what now?"

Meng Xiyao pondered for a while and said, "Let's wait and see what happens, you go back and rest for a while, I'll be at the top of the stairs." The butler shouldn't just give up so easily. ”

Sikong Yao hesitated, didn't dare to leave for a long time, first was startled by the girl, and then found a perverted housekeeper, now it was dim, Sikong Yao's heart was beating fast, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Meng Xiyao closed the window and locked it. As if seeing Sikong Yao's uneasiness, An persuaded: "You take a rest first, and I'll guard outside the door." Tomorrow at dawn, we'll get out of here. ”

At this time, Meng Xiyao is undoubtedly the person who can give Sikong Yao a sense of security the most.

Meng Xiyao gently closed the door and held the candlestick in his hand. I was about to go to the staircase to keep vigil, and suddenly I turned my head and met the butler's face.

The housekeeper sneered: "It's so late, where are you going?" ”

Meng Xiyao said calmly: "My sister thinks her room is damp, so she wants to change it with me." ”

The butler nodded. "I see. ”

"Mr. Housekeeper, is there anything else, if not, my sister is already resting, please don't disturb her."

There was a hint in this sentence, and the tone of the calf guard made the housekeeper hear it slightly, and then the housekeeper said: "The two don't look like locals, I don't know what they are going to Changshan Town to do this time?" ”

"To tell you the truth, we are from Fulongzhai, and this time we are out on a mission." Meng Xiyao felt that this identity might be able to really make the housekeeper jealous.

Sure enough, when he heard the housekeeper of Fulongzhai, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly regained his composure.

"Oh, I see, what mission?"

Meng Xiyao replied bluntly: "I'm sorry, this is confidential. ”

The housekeeper thought about it, and said with something in his words: "Do things wholeheartedly, since it is a task, it is best to go early and return early, and don't worry about idle things." ”

Meng Xiyao nodded and responded, "Okay, no problem." ”

The housekeeper said faintly: "Last thing, did you give the candle to my young lady?" ”

Meng Xiyao responded: "Well, it has been given." ”

The butler put his hands behind his back and sneered: "I see, talking nonsense, but there is a price." ”

A cold light flashed, and a sharp dagger melted out from the butler's sleeve and slashed towards Meng Xiyao.

Meng Xiyao was unexpected, and subconsciously raised the candlestick in his hand, and the blade turned into a silver-white mark on the candlestick.

The butler's knife came too suddenly, Meng Xiyao was caught off guard, and the candlestick was knocked out.

The butler roared, "Didn't I say nosy? The lady is clearly not in the room! ”

Meng Xiyao didn't expect the housekeeper to turn his face so quickly, but since this was the case, there was no need to be polite.

Although the butler's dagger was fierce, Meng Xiyao was even more ruthless, and as soon as he raised his leg, he kicked towards the butler's soft underbelly.

The housekeeper is also extraordinary, as soon as he turned around and dodged, he stabbed Meng Xiyao in the chest.

Although Meng Xiyao saw it clearly, he was a little embarrassed between dodging, and for some reason, he always felt a little powerless.

A wisp of fragrance came from the room, and Meng Xiyao instantly realized that the candle was poisonous!

The butler chased after him with a dagger and sneered: "I didn't want to kill you yet, but since you are from Fulongzhai, then there is no room for negotiation." ”

Meng Xiyao's hand turned red, and the housekeeper smiled more and more treacherously, "Let you die and understand, Lao Tzu is a person from Feihuang Village!" ”

The poisonous gas entered the body, Meng Xiyao was weak, and he saw the housekeeper stabbing him fiercely, but there was nothing he could do.

At the last moment, only a muffled sound was heard, and blood flowed down the butler's hair.

The soaking wet girl held the heavy candlestick in both hands and gasped for breath at the butler who had fallen to the ground.

Meng Xiyao escaped death, hurriedly thanked him, and ran towards the house.

At this time, Sikong Yao was already unconscious in bed, because the window was closed, the gas volatilized by the candle could not be dispersed for a long time, the fragrance was so strong that it was like substance, and the air was filled with a viscous poisonous gas.

The girl swung the candlestick out of her hand with all her might, smashing a hole through the glass.

There is a large gap between the pressure of the internal and external airflow, and the cold wind instantly sours in through this small opening, blowing away all the poisonous gas.

Seeing that Sikong Yao was unconscious, the girl shouted at Meng Xiyao: "Go to the storage room and get an alcohol lamp!" ”

Meng Xiyao quickly made a judgment in his heart, if he wanted to save Sikong Yao at this moment, he could only rely on this girl.

Meng Xiyao dragged his weak body, but he ran at an extraordinary speed and rushed all the way towards the storage room.

The girl took off a thick belt from her waist and threw it out, revealing countless needles with a silver handle.

The girl held nine silver needles in her hands and roasted them by the light of alcohol.

The girl's eyes burst into a resolute gaze, and her hands kept waving, and she was extremely skillful, like an acupuncture master.

A silver needle entered the body, and the needle pierced the sensory nerve endings on the membrane wall of the blood vessel, and the strong stimulation caused Sikong Yao to let out a sigh because of the pain.

The girl knelt on the ground and pinned it, her soaked clothes clinging to her body, outlining a bewitching curve.

Suddenly, Meng Xiyao's whole person seemed to be petrified, and his cheeks suddenly became hot, all the way to the root of his ears.

I saw that the girl unceremoniously took off Sikong Yao's coat, revealing the white and tender skin like mutton fat, and the second needle fell on the Qihu point under the collarbone.

Seeing that the girl was about to strip Sikong Yao naked, Meng Xiyao hurriedly closed her eyes and raised her head, and shouted, "Wait a minute!" ”

The girl scolded coldly: "Hurry up and get out, time is running out." If the poison gas enters the body, even my master will not be able to save her. ”

After Meng Xiyao said "sorry", he quickly turned around and closed the door, and a warm current flowed down his nose.

Acupuncture is a general term for acupuncture and moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine.

Acupuncture is the use of special metal needles, according to a certain acupuncture point, pierced into the patient's body, the use of manipulation techniques to achieve the purpose of treatment.

The moxibustion method is to use burning moxa wool to warm the skin surface around the acupuncture points, and use the heat stimulation to treat the disease.

At this time, the girl's technique is the seven-star needle percussion in the acupuncture method.

The seven acupuncture points are different, such as the stabbing is light, the massage is divided, and the muscles must not be injured to relieve the qi, or the sting is heavy, it is like discharging heat and bleeding, and venting the disease.

The Seven Star Percussion Acupuncture Method has both the pricking method of the staff acupuncture and the sharp acupuncture, the techniques are complex and changeable, and the acupuncture point stimulation is different from the severity, and only people with extremely profound skills dare to use it.

Seven needles entered the body, Sikong Yao coughed up a mouthful of blood, the blood color was dark purple and crimson, mixed with most of the toxins.

The girl touched the alcohol slightly, and a trace of open fire jumped between her fingers.

The girl lightly touched the flame on the silver handle needle, and seven wisps of ghost fire slowly forced into Sikong Yao's body, and then a trace of purple qi volatilized from Sikong Yao's body.

The seven blood bubbles were punctured one by one, and most of the poisonous gas was discharged, and the evil blood was exhausted.

The girl slowly took out the last silver needle, and let out a long exhale, already covered in sweat.

The poisonous gas gradually dissipated, and Sikong Yao slowly opened his eyes.
