Chapter 32: So Poisoned
Just as Han Tianyun said.
The Queen Mother Bingxue is smart, and naturally knows that she has been completely defeated tonight, and it is impossible to get anything she wants.
As for Lingquan's secret, it was a secret that belonged to Han Tianyun, how could it be exposed just because she was the queen mother?
Don't you see all kinds of ridicule and provocation from this old and young man to her, where is there any respect for her because she is the queen mother?
So she walked very simply.
"She's gone?"
"I have left the mountain gate and arrived at the west castle of Kyoto. ”
"Won't be coming back?"
"Definitely not. ”
"Can you say that this poisoning thing?"
"Tell me how you did it, it's a miracle!"
Kuzhu couldn't help but pick up the teacup in front of him, but when it came to his mouth, he was suddenly startled, and he didn't dare to drink the tea anymore.
"The tea is non-toxic. ”
Han Tianyun pointed to the cup of withered bamboo and said.
"Ahem, I know this, if it's going to be poisonous, won't I be poisoned too?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Kuzhu's face, and he poured the tea into his mouth with some difficulty, and swallowed it carefully for a long time.
His actions like this made Han Tianyun smile helplessly.
"Your tea is non-toxic, mine is non-toxic, and the Queen Mother is naturally non-toxic. ”
He had to explain carefully: "Actually, this pot of tea is not only non-toxic, but also has great benefits for spiritual practice. ”
"Oh?
Kuzhu said with a strange expression: "I also realized before that this tea seems to contain some element that can make the spiritual energy in the body run more smoothly. ”
"That's right. ”
Han Tianyun nodded and said, "If the master drinks this tea, his cultivation will definitely continue to improve." ”
"Hmm...... But the Queen Mother?"
Although Kuzhu discussed with Han Tianyun that the Queen Mother must be deflated tonight and get him a position as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he did not use poison in the previous plan.
Originally, he wanted to say that Han Tianyun could create aura, so that the Queen Mother would be jealous, and in this way, Han Tianyun would be regarded as an important minister of the country.
As for the threat of the Queen Mother, he is an old monk who resists it.
This is equivalent to taking a thick bunch of chips to negotiate with the Queen Mother, relying on real strength, and I am not afraid that the Queen Mother will not agree.
Unexpectedly, Han Tianyun found another way in the tea ceremony, and unexpectedly gave the Queen Mother a dismount, and it was not the turn of the withered bamboo sacrifice to press the bottom of the box.
Moreover, Han Tianyun achieved his goal so easily, almost making the Queen Mother powerless to fight back, and it was completely unexpected by the withered bamboo.
Even at this time, he was still puzzled by the poisoning of the Queen Mother.
He looked at Han Tianyun suspiciously at this time, hoping to get an answer.
"The tea that the Queen Mother drinks is exactly the same as the nature we drink, and it is also non-toxic. ”
Han Tianyun smiled, directly picked up the teapot in front of him and said: "In fact, this pot of tea is made of coarse tea carried by the army of the Southern Wilderness King, and it is an old tea that the soldiers quench their thirst on weekdays, which is not rare at all. ”
Looking at the frowning brows of the withered bamboo, he said again: "The real problem is not in the tea leaves, but because of the water. ”
Han Tianyun scooped up half a scoop of clear water with a scoop, and continued to say with a smile: "This water was originally taken from the clear mountain spring outside the house, so naturally there is no problem. ”
"That ......"
The withered bamboo was dumbfounded, and after a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and asked, "The nephew added poison to the water?"
"How is that possible?"
Han Tianyun looked at the withered bamboo speechlessly and asked, "If the water is poisoned, the master and the queen mother will not be able to detect it?"
"This ...... Nature is perceptible. ”
Kuzhu himself couldn't help but smile, and then asked even more strangely: "Since you can't add poison, then ......?"
"As I said earlier, this tea is of great benefit to the master, and you can drink it often in the future. ”
Han Tianyun emphasized again: "Actually, what I added to the water is not a poison, but an elixir that is very beneficial to cultivation. ”
"Uh...... This ......"
Withered bamboo was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he couldn't help but ask, "But I haven't drunk any ingredients of the elixir in the water before, why is this?"
"That's because what I added wasn't really a potion, but just a scoop of water under the elixir. ”
“?”
Withered bamboo was stunned again.
"This elixir is a real fire attribute elixir, it grows in a pool of clear water, and that pool of clear water often boils for no reason, because I just took a scoop of freshly boiled water before and mixed it into the cold spring water of this Lei Ling Temple. ”
Han Tianyun thought about it before explaining.
"This ......"
Although the withered bamboo has lived for more than a hundred years, it can be regarded as a high-ranking monk in the world, but what Han Tianyun said is still too mysterious.
In the past few days, he has often had a delusion.
Han Tianyun, this child, is an old monk with more experience than him, and he is the beginner who worships the mountain gate and begins to cultivate immortals and enlighten the Tao.
"Let's put it simply! The scoop of water I took contains an extremely rich fire element. ”
Han Tianyun thought for a while and continued to explain: "And the spring outside the temple, because the cold has not gone away, and because it is on the top of the mountain, it can be regarded as a cold spring. ”
"As the so-called water and fire are incompatible, this water full of fire elements meets the cold spring water, and naturally there will be some changes, but this cold spring is too weak, and it can only play a role in covering up the fire element and calming it temporarily. ”
Han Tianyun looked at the withered bamboo and said, "The master must have noticed that the time to boil water tonight is much faster than in the daytime. ”
"Hmm...... It seems like yes. ”
After a little bit of clouds on a cold day, the withered bamboo suddenly remembered that the water did boil faster tonight.
"That's it!"
Han Tianyun nodded and said, "Later, I used a cold spring to cover the fire elements in the water, but once the water was boiled, these fire elements completely exploded. ”
"In order not to be noticed, I washed the tea with cold spring water, and let the tea also inhale enough cold water, and then brewed it with boiling water, which is equivalent to introducing the fire element into the tea leaves, taming them to be gentle and clear, and extracting the fragrance of the tea leaves to the greatest extent. ”
Hearing him say this, Withered Bamboo's face became very exciting.
He never imagined that Han Tianyun would have such a profound understanding of the way of tea.
Of course, this is because of the scoop full of fire elemental water that Han Tianyun said, but even a monk like him, how could he think that a simple process of making tea could still hide so many Dao Dao?
"Actually, this pot of tea is the one I am most proud of. ”
Han Tianyun looked at the dead bamboo's sluggish eyes, and couldn't help but say with some excitement: "In this pot of tea, it's the first time I've used water so wonderfully. ”
Seeing that the withered bamboo was silent, he collected his attention before continuing to explain: "The Queen Mother was poisoned, not because my tea was not brewed well, nor because the tea was poisonous, the problem actually lay with herself." ”
"Huh, what do you mean by that?"
Withered bamboo was finally shocked to wake up by his words.
"The master once told me that the Queen Mother's cultivation seems to have broken through. ”
Han Tianyun took a sip of tea before continuing: "And when I entered the palace, the Queen Mother directly led me to pull out the Xuanbing Grass, and even did not hesitate to personally murder me in order to fight against this Xuanbing Grass. ”
Looking at the withered bamboo, Han Tianyun said firmly: "In this way, the Queen Mother's breakthrough must be related to Xuanbing Grass." ”
"Well, that's right! Her spiritual methods are all with their own ice effect. ”
Withered bamboo couldn't help but nod.
"Yes! It is based on this that I believe that the Queen Mother's cultivation is also biased towards the extremely cold physique. ”
Han Tianyun nodded, and said meaningfully: "Although the cold ice is strong, if someone plants fire in the body, what kind of taste will it ...... Tut-tut......"
Speaking of the taste of ice and fire, Han Tianyun's body couldn't help but get goosebumps.
In fact, no one has a deeper understanding of this kind of ice and fire than he did.
"What do you mean......"
Hearing his words, a bright light flashed in Withered Bamboo's heart, and his eyes were full of horror when he suddenly looked up at Han Tianyun.
In any case, he couldn't have imagined that Han Tianyun would use this method to deal with the Queen Mother.
"Yes, the master already knows, I will give the tea brewed by Huo Yuan to the Queen Mother to drink, and from now on, there will be no only ice in her body, but ice and fire. ”
“......”
The withered bamboo was completely shocked.
After a while, he tried to calm his thoughts, and asked with some unreal feelings: "Then why are you with her antidote or a cup of tea?"
"Hehe, that's easier to say. ”
Han Tianyun smiled wryly: "I have found out that although she uses cold ice to assist her spiritual method, her cultivation is also extremely strong, but in fact, there is not much cold ice in her body. ”
This is also the reason why after two cups of tea, she will feel that her aura is blocked and her whole body is sore. That's because those fire elements have been in a fierce battle with the ice, and they are still very anxious. ”
"So...... Is your last cup going down to make her body more Huoyuan?"
Withered bamboo couldn't help but exclaim.
At this time, Han Tianyun was almost no different from a ghost in his eyes.
Such poisoning is not only unprecedented, but also subverts all previous cognitions.
"Not bad!"
Han Tianyun nodded and said, "When the fire element in her body overwhelms the cold ice, she will naturally be comfortable." ”
"Then isn't her cultivation ......?"
The withered bamboo was dumb again.
It was naturally impossible for Master Withered Bamboo to agree to such a request.
But Master Kuzhu didn't say anything to death, telling him that the Dayue Royal Academy could still exist in the future, and even the best of them could be sent to Leiling Temple in the future, and the outstanding ones would be given priority to absorb as disciples of Leiling Temple.
The result was unexpected.
Originally, he was crying here, but he didn't want to let himself cut off contact with Lei Ling Temple and save his prospects for succession.
As for the matter of becoming a disciple of the Lei Ling Temple again, he was actually not hopeful.
After all, the fat man's has lost his face.
But if the Great Moon Royal Academy could become an academy under the jurisdiction of the Lei Ling Temple, the result would be very different.
This not only means that the students of the College have been given an opportunity to be promoted, but also means a lot to him as the founder of the College.
Even with this statement from Lei Ling Temple, the reputation he had damaged before would soon be covered up.
So, the cold said goodbye and went down the mountain happily.
Han Tianyun, who was sitting behind the screen, shook his head.
For this cold Second Highness, he has always looked down on him.
It's not that Leng is not a high cultivation and has a bad talent, nor is it because of his grievances with him, but the pattern of these two highnesses...... It doesn't seem to be huge.
His people are arrogant and unpleasant.
Not long after the cold had passed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the top of the mountain in the twilight.
"The student has a few words to ask the master. ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat in a small black sedan chair, did not get out of the sedan chair, but stopped at the door of the hut, and spoke directly after a moment of silence.
"Why doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come into the house?"
The sound of withered bamboo sounded.
"The one who wears the guilt, it's better not to cause trouble for the master!"
The prince's voice replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"What is the prince's sin?"
Withered bamboo asked lightly.
"Unnecessary!"
The prince replied word by word.
“......”
Withered bamboo and cold sky clouds couldn't help but choke on his words.
"I don't know what the prince wants to ask when he comes here?"
Withered bamboo frowned, so he had to change the topic and ask.
"Students of Lei Ling Academy, can Lei Ling Temple still accept it?"
The prince's words were very direct, and he once again asked Han Tianyun and the withered bamboo for a moment.
Han Tianyun even had a hint of curiosity about the prince outside the window.
The person who can speak like this is certainly not an ordinary person.
Han Tianyun really wanted to see him.
This person's temperament makes him inexplicably feel like he wants to be close.
There is a unique charm in his unverbose words.
However, the prince obviously did not have the consciousness of leaving the sedan chair.
Han Tianyun looked at the withered bamboo and found that the withered bamboo had no intention of exposing him, so he had to give up.
"Why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ask this?"
After a pause, withered bamboo asked hesitantly.
"Now that the spiritual spring is gushing on the Moon Mountain, if the master does not accept the students of the Lei Ling Academy, the students will go back and dismiss them. ”
The prince said lightly.
"Taohuawu is the prince's ...... Abbot?"
Kuzhu asked in surprise.
"Yes! The students are behind it. ”
The prince directly corrected the withered bamboo's words, which made Han Tianyun and the others stunned again.
This person speaks, and he doesn't play cards according to the routine at all.
This kind of person is dangerous!
For some reason, Han Tianyun's heart suddenly became vigilant at this time, and the previous cordiality suddenly disappeared.
"So the prince wants Leiling Temple to recruit Taohuawu students?"
"Not bad!"
For a straightforward person, there is never long small talk.
Because many times, the other party is not mentally prepared, and he has already explained his intentions in a face-to-face manner, so that you have to try to calm yourself down and think about it.
Even though this answer had already been prepared by Withered Bamboo, he couldn't help but think about whether the answer he had prepared before was right or wrong.
There was a long silence.
The prince was not in a hurry, and waited quietly without any urging.
After a long time, the withered bamboo let out a long sigh and said slowly: "Collect!"
The student took his leave. ”
When the prince got this word, he simply got up in the sedan chair and said goodbye, leaving only the withered bamboo in the thatched hut and the cold clouds looking at each other.
Soon, the prince's little black sedan chair disappeared into the thick night and went down the mountain.
"This person ......"
The cold sky and clouds muttered for a long time, and finally found the right language to say: "This person is much stronger than the cold." ”
"Ahem! This son has a calm heart, and his fruit is extraordinary, and he is really a natural emperor. ”
Withered bamboo sighed and said, "It's just a pity!"
"What a pity?"
Han Tianyun couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.
"He's not a monk!"
Kuzhu looked at him and said meaningfully.
"Warrior?"
Han Tianyun remembered that he really didn't feel any spiritual power fluctuations coming from the sedan chair before, so he asked.
Withered bamboo shook his head and did not speak.
“?”
A hint of strangeness flashed on Han Tianyun's face again, and he paused for a moment before asking, "Ordinary people?"
"Yes. ”
Kuzhu nodded and said, "Not only can he not practice, but he also suffers from a strange disease, and I am afraid he will not live long." ”
