Chapter 390: A Temporary Antidote
If he hadn't come here, Zhao Qing wouldn't have died here.
In fact, it was he who indirectly killed Zhao Qing.
When he came to the courtyard gate, he saw the corpse lying not far away, there was no blood on his face, his body was stiff, and the blood at the corner of his mouth had dried up, Xiao Qiang couldn't help but feel sad and angry in his heart.
He walked closer, looked at Zhao Qing's mouth slightly open, and wanted to say anything before he died, but he didn't say a word, a fly crawled around on the dark pupils of the corpse, Xiao Qiang immediately drove the fly away, and gently closed his eyes and mouth, but as soon as his hand was released, his mouth and eyes opened again, as if he was dead.
Xiao Qiang felt deep self-blame in his heart, if he hadn't come to Zhao Qing's house, he wouldn't have caused this ending. He silently swore in his heart that he must let the man in black and Huainanzi get the punishment he deserved!
It took him more than ten minutes to close Zhao Qing's eyes and mouth, then picked up the corpse, dragged the painful and almost broken body, and walked towards the house.
β¦β¦
When Xiao Qiang woke up again, it was already noon the next day, he opened his eyes and looked around, it was not Zhao Qing's home, the scenery in front of him was very familiar, and it turned out that he had returned to Miao's house.
In front of the bed sat a thin old man, full of silver hair, in good spirits, and his wrinkled eyes were shining, as if he could read the minds of others.
His face changed, and the old man Miao, who had not heard from him, actually came back, and what made him feel even more strange was that Miao Ke'er and the woman in white were not around.
Old Man Miao nodded slightly and said, "Excuse me, you can rest quickly." β
Xiao Qiang knew in his heart that it must have been the woman in white who sent him back, but he couldn't say anything.
Old Man Miao smiled slightly: "How do you feel?" β
Xiao Qiang felt his body and found that it was basically good, and the toxicity of the Heaven and Earth Acacia Gu was also suppressed. Hurriedly said: "Thank you, old man Miao." β
"Hehe, thank you for the wrong person. It was Zhen'er who treated you, and she sent you back yesterday. β
Really?
Xiao Qiang asked inexplicably.
The old man smiled slightly and said, "You said that the woman in white yesterday, her name is Xu Zhen'er, she is a good friend of Miao Ke'er, and she happened to come here to visit Miao Ke'er yesterday." But today it has been done. β
Xiao Qiang frowned and said, "But that Xu Zhen'er was also injured, I don't know what's wrong." β
Old Man Miao shook his head and said, "Xu Zhen'er has a rather withdrawn personality, and she doesn't have any friends except Miao Ke'er. I'll send you here and leave. β
Xiao Qiang secretly said in his heart: "No matter what, she always saved me." β
Old Man Miao smiled slightly and said, "Instead of caring about Xu Zhen'er, you should imagine my family." β
Xiao Qiang frowned and said, "What's wrong with Ke'er?" β
Old Man Miao sighed and said: "You are already fine, but in the middle of the night, your Hehuan Gu poison took advantage of the void, which frightened Ke'er at that time, and called me up in the middle of the night to suppress the toxicity for you. Of course, thank you Ke'er, she shed a lot of tears for your business, staying in front of your bed all night, half an hour ago I didn't persuade her she still refused to go to sleep. β
Hearing this, Xiao Qiang's heart was full of gratitude, he nodded, thinking that when Miao Ke'er woke up, he would thank her well.
"By the way, I'd like to ask. Why would those two cultivators want to kill you? Old Man Miao said curiously.
Xiao Qiang thought about it and finally decided to tell him the truth. The Miao family is very good to themselves, and there is no reason not to trust them. He took out the map and showed it to Old Man Miao and said, "It's this map, they want to snatch it from me." β
"Where did you get this map?" Old Man Miao didn't go to pick up the map, but asked curiously.
"It was given to me by a special old man, let me take good care of it."
Old Man Miao was even more puzzled. He took the map, unfolded it and looked at it a few times, his eyes immediately showed a look of surprise, and he immediately rolled up the map and solemnly handed it to Xiao Qiang. He admonished: "In the future, you must not show this map to anyone, lest you be killed." β
Xiao Qiang nodded seriously: "What Old Man Miao said is that the kid wrote it down." By the way, old man, among the cultivators who chased and killed me, one of the exercises he practiced seemed to be in the same vein as what Xu Zhen'er had learned, very similar to the same kind of exercises, and more importantly, he seemed to be able to control my Heaven and Earth Hehuan Gu."
Old Man Miao was taken aback: "Is there really such a thing?" β
"I didn't believe it at first, so I tentatively asked a few words, saying that he was from Western Xinjiang. At that time, I saw a strange look flash in his eyes, and I was even more sure that the person was related to the Western Frontier! "Xiao Qiang cut the railway.
This confused Old Man Miao: "Although the Western Xinjiang is mysterious and quite powerful, most people are in the Western Xinjiang, and only people with no qualifications like us will be sent out of the world, where will there be such a strong person." β
Seeing that Old Man Miao was so sure, Xiao Qiang didn't dare to be sure, and said: "Maybe he is practicing the same exercises as Xijiang, or maybe I'm wrong." β
Old Man Miao frowned, knowing that what Xiao Qiang said was not as simple as it seemed, but he really couldn't remember what kind of people in Western Xinjiang could come here.
The two changed the topic and talked about other aspects, Xiao Qiang wanted to know most about Zhao Qing's girlfriend Zhang Xiaoou, as well as Zhao Qing's parents, the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, he must be heartbroken, and it is estimated that he also called the police, but what role can the police play. And Miao Ke'er is still resting, wait for her to wake up and ask.
After chatting for a while, Old Man Miao suddenly said: "Xiao Qiang, this time I went to the Western Xinjiang because of some problems, so I didn't get rid of the poison of the Gu worms of the Heaven and Earth Acacia Gu. However, I have found a way to temporarily restrain myself, I gave you one last night, the effect is quite good, you take it twice, it is estimated that it can be managed for a few months, and a few months can suppress the toxicity in your body and not recur. β
Xiao Qiang was a little unhappy in his heart, Old Man Miao said that it was okay to unlock the Heaven and Earth Acacia Gu for him, but at this time, he could only suppress it for a short time, but he didn't care about it in his heart, as long as he could cultivate to become the late stage of the foundation building period, or he could suppress the toxicity.
But at this time, he said with a solemn face: "Of course, this is by no means a long-term solution, the medicine that suppresses the Gu poison in your body may be able to play some role in the early stage, but with time." As the number of times the medicine is used, the Gu poison will gradually become immune to this medicine, and eventually you will have to suffer endless torture and pain until you die of rotting through your intestines. So if you want to really eradicate the Gu poison, you have to go to the western Xinjiang! β
"Western Xinjiang?"
"Not bad. Western Xinjiang is the hometown of Gu cultivation, the strongest Gu master in the world. and the people who are the most good at solving Gu are all from Western Xinjiang. Old man Miao solemnly confessed.
"yes, I see. Who do I go to? Xiao Qiang asked.
"Someone will look for you when you get there, so you can go with confidence." Old man Miao said.
Xiao Qiang nodded and said, "I will definitely go when I finish dealing with some important things." β
Old Man Miao frowned: "If you want to solve the Gu, it should be sooner rather than later." Recently, the Gu poison attacks in your body have become more and more frequent, once you are physically and mentally exhausted, they will take advantage of the weakness and make you miserable, if it weren't for me and Ke'er these two times. I'm afraid you'll be done a long time ago, so you'll have to do everything you can. β
Xiao Qiang said helplessly: "But what about Miao Ke'er's Heaven and Earth Acacia Gu?" β
Old Man Miao smiled slightly and said: "Heaven and Earth Acacia Gu is a pair of Gu worms, the male worm is dead, and the female worm cannot survive alone."
Xiao Qiang secretly relieved himself in his heart: "Thank you Old Master Miao for reminding me, I will help Miao Ke'er contact the poison of the Heaven and Earth Acacia Gu." β
To help her is to help yourself.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Miao Keer finally woke up. After dinner, Miao Keer was alone in the courtyard enjoying the moonlight, and Xiao Qiang walked over.
looked at Miao Keer's white clothes like snow. With the blown-breakable skin and the proud and delicate back, Xiao Qiang felt a pain in his heart for some reason. It's a strange feeling.
However, as soon as she took a few steps closer, Miao Ke'er noticed his storage zΓ i and turned back to him and smiled.
Under a smile, Bai Meisheng just had a sad feeling
"How are you?" Miao Ke'er asked slowly.
"Okay, almost, I've heard everything about yesterday. I'm ready to thank you! Xiao Qiang smiled slightly.
Miao Ke'er rolled her eyes and asked with a smile: "How can you thank you?" β
Xiao Qiang frowned and said slowly: "If you have something, I will go to heaven and earth, and I will go back to the sword mountain and the sea of fire." β
"I used to cook for you, and this time I'm going to eat your cooking......" Miao Ke'er suddenly smiled slyly.
Xiao Qiang was dumbfounded. In fact, he doesn't know how to cook at all.
Seeing Xiao Qiang's embarrassment, Miao Ke'er smiled again: "That's it, you play chess with me, if you win me, you don't have to thank me, and if you lose, you will be doubly grateful." β
Xiao Qiang nodded without hesitation: "Okay!" β
The stone table in the courtyard itself is a chessboard, and there are chess pieces made of stones next to it, which is a pastime for Mr. Miao when he is usually fine.
Old Man Miao's favorite thing to find is his granddaughter Miao Keer to play chess, if nothing else, Miao Keer is smart and smart, and she is the opponent of Old Man Miao.
Tonight's moonlight is particularly round, silver light sprinkles all over the yard, the yard is planted with some lilies and junzi orchids, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, under the illumination of the moonlight, it looks a palpitating beauty, people can't help but indulge in it.
Mr. Miao's three major hobbies in his life: tea tasting, playing chess, and planting flowers. So these flowers are also from the hands of Mr. Miao.
The two sat opposite each other, filling the chessboard with chess, and the Chu River and Han boundaries were clearly distinguished.
"Do you know my grandfather's three hobbies?" Miao Keer pushed the chess pieces with her fingers as white as jade onions, and jumped out of the pawn.
Xiao Qiang smiled: "Naturally, I know that the old man told me that I should taste tea, play chess, and plant flowers!" β
"Grandpa has a national level of chess, and most people are not his opponents, only I can compete with him, so you will be careful later, maybe you really want to express double gratitude!"
Xiao Qiang smiled and said, "Lose in your hands, willingly." β
Xiao Qiang actually meant that he saved himself yesterday, and it was natural to thank him twice, but Miao Ke'er would be wrong, her pretty face was slightly red, and she said, "You think so." β
Xiao Qiang's face changed, and he felt strange in his heart. He is not this kind of character, why do he say such things, not to mention that he knows Miao Keer's intentions.
His face suddenly became weird, could it be the antidote? The antidote to this has a peculiar and special ingredient at all. If that's the case, maybe it's really time for him to go.
The two laughed and chatted, with the moonlit night, the fragrance of flowers, and the breeze, such a romantic environment made people extremely comfortable. And the chess pieces in the hand, the pattern on the chessboard is tense, and people turn over on their backs. It's like a bloody war song from another world.
Xiao Qiang soon lost, his handsome was killed by Miao Keer's serial marca, and he was forced into a desperate situation, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The chess skills are really exquisite, and I am convinced of losing." β
Miao Keer smiled indifferently: "Two wins in three games, come again." β
The two of them re-set the chess. Miao Ke'er suddenly asked: "Actually, Xu Zhen'er told me, she thinks that person is from Western Xinjiang." β
Hearing this, Xiao Qiang immediately put away his smile and glanced at Miao Ke'er: "She also noticed?" β
Miao Ke'er nodded and said, "She said it, at the time of the last palm, I suddenly felt that the spell cultivated by the man in black should belong to the Western Frontier Gu Technique, but his Gu Technique is very special, and I can't find out what branch it is at all." β
Xiao Qiang immediately nodded in agreement: "Actually, I told your grandfather about this matter, but I just let Old Man Miao want to break his head." I don't know if anyone in the West will be so bold. How dare you come here in private.
Set up the board and start again. This time, Miao Ke'er set up the first cannon, and said slowly: "After all, I have been to Xijiang a few times, and I know these people quite well, and Xu Zhen'er can't think of who it is, there is no reason for this?" β
Xiao Qiang said: "If you can't think of it, don't think about it, maybe the masked man's cultivation method is very similar to the practice in Western Xinjiang, but it's not one." "It's still the start of the first hand. Get out of the car.
Miao Ke'er sighed: "I can only think so." β
"By the way, how was Zhang Xiaoou yesterday?" Xiao Qiang asked.
Miao Ke'er glanced at him: "You seem to care about her very much?" β
Xiao Qiang's face was a little sad: "If it weren't for me." Her boyfriend doesn't need to die, and she won't be so sad, and until now, I feel extremely guilty in my heart. β
Miao Ke'er saw that what Xiao Qiang said was completely sincere, and comforted: "You don't have to blame yourself, I don't think Zhang Xiaoou and Zhao Qing's parents will blame you." Before leaving. Zhang Xiaoou also asked me to send you to the hospital as soon as possible, so that your life would not be in danger. β
Having said that, Xiao Qiang still didn't feel good in his heart, and asked, "How are Zhao Qing's parents now?" β
His mother was hospitalized because of her son's sudden heart attack, and his father was with him. Zhang Xiaoou went to the police station yesterday and is estimated to be in the hospital now. β
"Which hospital?"
"At the No. 1 hospital in their small county."
Xiao Qiang didn't have the heart to play chess anymore, so he got up and said, "I'll go see them now." β
Miao Ke'er said: "It's so late, I'm afraid they will already be asleep when you get to the hospital, tomorrow morning, I'll go with you, sit down and finish this game of chess with me." β
Xiao Qiang sat down dejectedly, and Miao Ke'er said indifferently: "Some things have passed, since there are such greedy and selfish people in this world, even if you don't go to Zhao Qing's house, they will kill innocent passers-by by mistake, and the final result is actually the same." If you want to change this situation, you can only strengthen yourself to protect your loved ones. β
Xiao Qiang never imagined that Miao Ke'er would be able to say such a thing.
Suddenly, he looked at Miao Ke'er and said slowly, "You have also taken that antidote." β
Miao Ke'er nodded lightly and said, "Don't be in a daze, play chess." It's your turn to play chess. β
"I see, and I'll find the man in black."
Although Xiao Qiang said this, he was still a little absent-minded, no matter what, Zhao Qing was implicated by himself and died, just like wealth.
In this game, Xiao Qiang was even more defeated in absent-mindedness, Miao Keer proposed another game, and Xiao Qiang immediately forgave him.
Miao Ke'er knew that Xiao Qiang had no intention of admiring the moon and playing chess, so she said: "I'll spare you today, but the thank you you to me can be doubled." I'll give you a chance to go shopping and eat with me one day. This is one piece, and the other one, I'll keep it, and I'll ask you for it when I'm done. β
Xiao Qiang barely showed a smile: "No problem." β
Saying goodbye to Miao Ke'er, Xiao Qiang returned to his room, first poured a cup of tea, and then took out the medicine that Old Man Miao specially configured for himself today, and drank it with water.
Although there was no reaction from the body, Xiao Qiang has always trusted Mr. Miao very much, and he said that if the medicine is effective for two or three months, it will definitely be able to manage it for two or three months.
Sitting at the head of the bed, Xiao Qiang crossed his legs, closed his eyes, calmed down and began to cultivate.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the sun spilled into the room through the window, and the whole room lit up. This night of meditation and cultivation, I don't want to do anything for several days and nights.
Opening the window, the air was exceptionally fresh, and the sunlight shone in a large area, Xiao Qiang squinted with enjoyment and took a big breath of fresh air. On the branches of the yard. A few sparrows chirped and looked very cheerful, and the plants, seedlings and flowers were covered with early morning dewdrops, and they looked vigorous and full of life.
"Let's have breakfast together." Miao Keer happened to walk into the yard and saw Xiao Qiang breathing fresh air by the window. He beckoned.
Today's Miao Keer changed into a pale cyan long skirt, standing in the courtyard, with a slender figure, a peerless face, a long skirt blown by the breeze and floating, and with the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard, the sparrows cheering on the branches, which can be called a very meaningful picture.
Xiao Qiang's eyes were sluggish for a moment, and when he saw Miao Ke'er smiling at him, he came to his senses and said, "Okay." Here it comes. β
Wrong!
Xiao Qiang knew that he was absolutely wrong, whenever he saw Miao Keer, his heart felt a throbbing, why was this?
Miao Keren and Yue'er were not there, and the Liu sisters also had their own affairs, so he and Miao Ke'er were the only ones for breakfast.
After breakfast, before Xiao Qiang proposed to go to the hospital, Miao Keer smiled knowingly: "I'll take you to the hospital." β
Why is this happening? Xiao Qiang's face became more and more pale. Miao Ke'er is like a whole person who has changed today?
Is it because of the medicine?
Miao Keer drives a blue Maserati series of sports cars, exuding luxury and brilliance in the sun. Miao Keer rolled down the window. Wearing a pair of sunglasses, she waved her head: "Get in the car!" β
Xiao Qiang sat in the co-pilot, although he didn't care about these technological things, he also smiled slightly: "This kind of thing is not bad." β
Miao Ke'er said with a smile: "For a family like ours, in fact, these worldly materials are nothing. Fasten your seatbelts. β
The speed of the sports car is really not a joke, like a gust of wind, Xiao Qiang has not reacted. The car had already carried the two out of the Miao family's villa and on the asphalt road leading to the county seat.
The poplar trees on both sides of the road were rapidly reversing in Xiao Qiang's sight, and Miao Keer didn't care about the speed limit sign or red light, Xiao Qiang glanced at the dashboard. It has reached a high speed of 180 miles, and he nodded again and again: "It's not bad." β
Miao Ke'er smiled: "The most important thing is that you don't have to spend your vitality. If you want, I'll give you one. β
Xiao Qiang immediately shook his head: "I'm not a little white face who eats soft rice, and more importantly, I won't open it." β
Miao Ke'er smiled, stopped talking, and continued to drive seriously.
Xiao Qiang turned on the car radio, and it was the Cloud City Music Station playing an Oscar song.
Nearfar
Whereveryouare
Ibelieve
Thattheheartdoesgoonβ¦β¦
Schilling. Dion's singing voice is beautiful and moving, full of strong penetration, and strong passion and shocking tenderness, echoing in the small carriage, making the two seem to enter the movie world of "Titanic", intoxicated, unwilling to say a word, just want to listen to the song quietly.
At the end of the song, the radio host's voice sounded, and Miao Keer sighed: "If there is such a great love in front of me, I would rather give up my current family and status." β
Xiao Qiang's face became more and more ugly, Miao Ke'er's personality had completely changed, and he was so excited just now that his Dao heart was unstable.
Why is that? Miao Ke'er took off her sunglasses and looked at Xiao Qiang with burning eyes. Xiao Qiang could feel something from Miao Keer's gaze, but he instinctively looked away and changed the topic: "It's almost to the county seat, right?" β
Miao Ke'er didn't care about Xiao Qiang's reaction, she just smiled indifferently, returned her gaze to the road in front of her, and said, "There are still ten minutes." β
Xiao Qiang nodded, rolled down the window, and wanted to breathe. But at this moment, a yellow McLaren sports car "whoosh" rushed up, and came from behind. McLaren didn't speed up when he caught up, but walked side by side with Maserati on his left.
In this suburban area, a sports car like Miao Keer is already extremely eye-catching, and I don't know when, another one pops up, which makes Xiao Qiang wonder in his heart.
Just in the midst of confusion, McLaren's car window rolled down, and a handsome young man with a stud in his right ear shouted: "Beauty, what do you call it?" Make a friend! β
Miao Ke'er is usually a little princess of Yuncheng, she is used to seeing this kind of person, and this person has extremely bad taste in dressing, and she doesn't know herself, so she is obviously a rich second generation who doesn't know where she came from.
But at this moment, her witch nature was undoubtedly revealed, she glanced at the young man, and smiled: "I'll talk about it if I win." (To be continued......)
