Chapter 21 (II) Black Plague
Black plague, short for black plague, first appeared in the literature of a certain ethnic group in West Asia, referring to opium made from opium poppy. In that era when civilization was not civilized, the people there found that the opium poppy was more terrible than the plague, and later the Arabs discovered the literature and brought it to Europe, and the Europeans officially translated the meaning of the word in the literature as "black plague", mainly because the opium after the opium poppy was made is black.
"Black plague is a legendary ancestor drug, just like a bacterium that can be changed seventy-two times, it can be simply blended into a new drug, it will not kill people in a short time, but it will bring people an unprecedented experience, there is a legend among the corpse craftsmen, in the early years when they refined the black plague, it was according to the method of the Arabs, after people smoked, it was like going to heaven, any wish can be completed instantly, any trouble will disappear in an instant, and it lasts for a long time, if you want, It can last a lifetime. Gu Huaiyi looked ahead and said with a smile, although he was explaining, it sounded like he was talking to himself.
"Living in illusion all your life? That's what it means. Ji Kefeng nodded slowly, "That's a vegetative person?" ”
"No, not in a vegetative state, just happier than ever." Gu Huaiyi turned around and smiled at Ji Kefeng, "If this thing really exists, then the secret of refining should be recorded in that strange book, right?" Gu Huaiyi's latter sentence was asked by the ghost tiger.
Ghost Tiger didn't answer again this time, just shook his head, and kept shaking his head towards Gu Huaiyi, he had already said enough. According to the rules of the medicine money, he can be sentenced to death, if he didn't get the tumor, otherwise he could really only carry the head back to see Ji Mengsheng.
Strange books, tumors, blood substitutes codenamed Rulai Eye, and the blacklist of drug lords all over the world, these things Gu Maniac wants, what is he going to do? Tang Shuxing couldn't figure out this problem, after all, there were too few clues.
"Tumor, you take it back and give it to Qi Mengsheng. Odd books. I'll stay for the time being. Sooner or later I'll give it back with both hands, but not now. Gu Huaiyi leaned over and put a word in the ear of the ghost tiger, then got up and walked towards the inside of the cabin. Sentence II. I'll look for anything I can make you a scabbard. The thing was so sharp that it was cut carefully. ”
"Oh-" Tang Shuxing carefully picked up the dragon blade, and when he looked closely, he found that the surface of the entire sword body was wrapped in dragon scales. But the real component of the blade was a black metal, perhaps made of fine cast iron, and then the scales were embedded around the blade. After all, the dragon scales were very sharp, much stronger than ordinary sword blades, and they could be directly inserted into the body of the winged lizard, let alone deal with other things.
"Let's take this thing, is there really no problem?" Ji Kefeng looked at the dragon blade, and was naturally attracted to the past, the dragon blade seemed to have a strange power, which could naturally attract people to slowly approach.
"It's better to hide, otherwise if it is discovered by people from all directions, you can slaughter the sword-wielder without any orders!" Ghost Tiger said in a deep voice, "Where are you going next?" ”
"I don't know, it doesn't seem to be up to us." Ji Kefeng replied on the side, his eyes were a little dull, and at this time he saw that there were still many Jingwei birds stopped at the railing, and immediately walked out of the hatch to tease those birds.
"It's best to stay away from those things, they are full of poison, if they are sprayed with venom in their mouths, the Daluo Immortals can't save them." Ghost Tiger stared ahead and spoke.
"Can't you raise something that isn't poisonous!?" Tang Shuxing complained. At this time, Ye Sang came out with a box full of cans and drinks, Tang Shuxing rushed over with his sword, slashed a can with his sword, stretched out his hand to grab it and ate it, and praised the deliciousness while eating, like a starving ghost reincarnated.
Ji Kefeng chose canned food and drinks, took them out and sat on the deck, opened them carefully, and ate them with a fork and spoon, blowing the sea breeze, looking comfortable. Tang Shuxing sat there, shook his head and looked at Ji Kefeng, and said to Ye Sang: "Do you know what it means to pretend to be B?" After speaking, Tang Shuxing pointed his sword at Ji Kefeng and said, "This is pretending!" ”
Ji Kefeng heard the conversation between the two, he didn't pay attention to him at all, just ate by himself, and in the cargo hold below, Gu Huaiyi found several coffins, and after opening them, he found that there were really walking corpses alive inside, with a smile on his face, he took out the coin and began to slowly cut off the skin on the back of those rotting corpses, and then put it on the electric stove and slowly baked it, carefully making the scabbard of the dragon blade for Tang Shuxing.
At the same time, near a certain part of Cambodia, Bayu's small camouflaged ship was drifting on the sea, having been drifting for hours because of the lack of fuel. Bayu originally planned to attack the pirates and find enough fuel for them to return safely, but what he didn't expect was the opposite.
Na Jincheng, who had been released from the state of corpse, slept in the room where Ba Yu had originally been, hanging a hanging bottle, gently touching the wound that Zhongyong had sewn up for him, but there was no regret and disappointment on his face, but a kind of expectation.
Zhongyong, who was on the side, felt very strange and wanted to ask, but he knew that Jincheng's temper, so he had to shut up.
"Do you want to say I'm sorry?" Na Jincheng was the first to break the silence and shift his gaze from the window to Zhongyong's face.
Zhong Yong, who was playing with the military dagger he found from the ship, was slightly stunned, then nodded slowly, and said for a long time: "That master, Brother Xing has really been good to me in the past few years. ”
"I know." Na Jincheng smiled and said, "I have no intention of comparing anything with him, but you have to remember that this time I deliberately avoided the final conflict with them because our chances of winning are not great, I am sure of dealing with that one called Ghost Tiger, but I am not completely sure of dealing with Gu Huaiyi, and I also know that if you let Tang Shuxing fight, your chances of winning are zero." ”
"That's the master, I'm ......" Zhong Yong got up and was about to explain, but Na Jin Cheng waved him to sit down.
That Jin Cheng shook his head and said: "Now you are a hundred times stronger than before, but it is still impossible to be Tang Shuxing's opponent, first of all, your brain is not as smart as him, and secondly, his skills are excellent, and he has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger." It was something I didn't expect. ”
Zhong Yong nodded, his heart full of emotion, and at the same time he had doubts about the friendship he had developed with Tang Shuxing over the years. Of course, what Jin Cheng's words contained was all instigation and provocation, but it was not so obvious, and it only touched Zhongyong's subconscious.
"That master, this time we missed and didn't get anything back, and we will definitely be punished when we go back, but the responsibility lies with me." Zhongyong said that he was about to kneel. was grabbed by that brocade raised his hand. But because of the force of his sideways, pulling at his wound, the pain made him immediately return to his previous position, gritting his teeth and shaking his head at Zhongyong.
Zhong Yong saw that he had made a mistake again. The tears are coming out. Immediately knelt on the ground and knocked his head.
Na Jincheng took a deep breath: "The man has gold under his knees." Since you kowtow to me, I will simply accept you as my godson. ”
"Huh?" Zhongyong was very surprised and surprised. After seeing the expression on that Jin Cheng's face, he knew that he was not joking, so he immediately buried his head and officially worshiped his godfather.
"Bayu isn't at the door, is he?" Na Jin Cheng asked Zhong Yong to get up and go to the door to check, Zhong Yong stood at the door and looked left and right, and nodded to Na Jin Cheng to indicate that there was no one.
"Listen." Na Jincheng moved his body upwards, "This Ba Yu must live, over the years, the biggest mistake made by Bafang is that he is too secretive and has not established his own reliable network around the world, although there are our people everywhere, but there are no people from the government and the army, I have quietly started to build a network of relationships a few years ago, and it is my own." ”
Zhong Yong nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. That Jin Cheng's words are not unreasonable, the rules of the Bafang are too rigid, the first three rules are all hidden, hidden and hidden, no matter what you do, you have to be incognito, although the medicine is the same, but they know how to buy people's hearts, how to strengthen their own power, and not let their secrets be known by others.
In this cruel world, without one's own network, it is equivalent to having no intelligence network, and relying on the poor information collected by one's own people is only a pitiful thing.
"Bafang and Yaojin have been researching an ancestral drug called 'Black Plague' for many years, what exactly is going to be used for it, I am not qualified to know at this level." Na Jin Cheng then told Zhong Yong all the information he knew about the black plague, and after he finished speaking, he asked Zhong Yong to keep this thing in mind and not mention it to anyone.
Zhong Yong nodded: "That master, I know." ”
"Still called that master?" That Jin Cheng smiled.
"Godfather." Jungyoung smiled as well.
"Well, I'm glad I can take you as my godson, but we have other things to do right now." That Jin Cheng shook his head and said, "I didn't take a single thing back, if I don't see Artemisia and don't say anything, I will be punished by Wuyang's people, but I will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected, and we will put on a good show in the Gu hunting ground, and we will naturally return to our roots." ”
"Godfather, what's the plan?" Zhong Yongzheng said, "I won't be soft this time. ”
"There is still some time before the Gu Hunting Competition, but you can sign up according to the rules, I heard that there are many masters who will come to participate in this year's competition, persuade Ba Yu to go, anyway, it will be a dead end for him to go back." Na Jin Cheng looked out the window and smiled, "If he doesn't go ......" Speaking of this, Na Jin Cheng turned his head, "Sue him, I will kill his whole family, and everyone who has a relationship with him!" ”
Zhongyong's heart was shocked, because he had never seen Na Jincheng say such a thing, nodded, and immediately turned to leave, heading to the cockpit.
A few days later, Yaojin's merchant ship arrived off the coast of Cambodia, and a dilapidated yacht swayed by, with only two people on board, and when the merchant ship approached Yaojin, one of them carried a large compression box and climbed up the rope ladder, and walked straight towards the ghost tiger in the cockpit.
The ghost tiger raised his hand and pointed outside, and said to Tang Shuxing and the others: "When you arrive, you can go ashore from Cambodia, enter Vietnam or Thailand, and go directly to the Golden Triangle." ”
"You said it easily, you think you're flying? Whiskered and flew over. Tang Shuxing carried a dragon blade wrapped like a fishing rod on his back, not knowing that the scabbard was made of human skin, and praised Gu Huaiyi's craftsmanship very exquisitely.
"It's okay, let's take the bus." Gu Huaiyi said with a smile, threw the prepared backpack to Tang Shuxing, Ji Kefeng, and Ye Sang, and carried one on his back, and then turned around and left. At this time, the person carrying the box squatted in front of the ghost tiger, opened the incubator with the broken arm, and then shook his head, indicating that he could not take it back, because when the arm was cut off, it was in a state of corpse, and after several days, the nerve of the arm had been completely necrotic after the use of medicine to recover.
"What about my hands!? What the? Artificial limb? Fuck off! The ghost tiger roared in the cockpit, this was the last sentence Tang Shuxing and the others heard when they left the merchant ship.
Five hours later, the small boat in which Tang Shuxing and the others were riding docked, and as soon as the three of them got off the boat, the man who drove the boat grabbed Gu Huaiyi's arm, stretched out his hand, and motioned for them to give money.
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot about it, I'm sorry." Gu Huaiyi slapped the bulging backpack with a smile, then took out a pistol and pulled the trigger directly on the man's head, and the man fell into the yacht, twitching twice and tilting his head to one side.
Tang Shuxing, Ji Kefeng, and Ye Sang watched dumbfounded, Gu Huaiyi put away the gun, and then pushed the man's body into the shallow sea from the boat, drew a cross on the chest against the corpse, and said at the same time: "No need to make change." ”
Gu Huaiyi sat in the driver's seat, patted the seat next to him and said to Tang Shuxing: "Get on the boat, let's leave in another place, otherwise this guy will definitely inform us of the route when he goes back." ”
The three of them had to get back on the dinghy, Gu Huaiyi put on sunglasses, drove the dinghy towards the open sea, and drove it until it reached a shallow reef beach, then let them get off the boat, and then let Tang Shuxing and Ji Kefeng go ashore first, and then called Ye Sang to come ashore.
Ye Sang came to Gu Huaiyi tremblingly, still with his eyes closed, and then felt that Gu Huaiyi was stuffing something into his bag, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was a bundle of banknotes, and he was immediately stupid, not knowing what Gu Huaiyi was going to do.
"This is what your criminal master confessed, saying that it is to make up for the loss of your Meilin Temple, although it is not much, but it is enough for you to live for a while, and also, forget about the matter of the dragon's lair, the medicine is not something that pirates like you can afford to provoke." Gu Huaiyi smiled and patted Ye Sang's shoulder, "If you have a chance in the future, don't be a pirate, be a fisherman, at least the navy won't make trouble for you, you drive away from us, the farther away from us, the better." ”
After Gu Huaiyi finished speaking, he jumped on the reef, Ye Sang waved goodbye to Tang Shuxing and Ji Kefeng, drove the dinghy away, and kept looking back at Tang Shuxing and the others, until Tang Shuxing and the three disappeared into the jungle on the shore, and then he looked straight ahead, heading towards their former simple settlement, praying that they would not be taken by the navy.
However, not long after, the yacht stopped, Ye Sang looked at the oil gauge that had been returned to zero, and the vast sea with a desperate face, and couldn't help but stand on the boat and look at the direction of Gu Huaiyi's departure. (To be continued......)
