Chapter 737: Corpse Poison
The situation was really as Zhang Yunfan expected, the guards were very afraid of Luo Hongyue, and when they heard her count them like this, they were so frightened that they were as quiet as cicadas, crying and sad, and they didn't even dare to let out a fart. Looking at this scene, Zhang Yunfan's evil anger in his heart was finally vented, and he was happy, who expected Luo Hongyue Luo Hongyue to look over.
"And you, a big man, are so willing to be bullied, and you are embarrassed to be with me, what is the difference between such behavior and a child's complaint?" Luo Hongyue asked again and again, with a look of disdain on her face.
Zhang Yunfan was speechless, and his joy also fell to a low point, and he slandered repeatedly, "This woman is here for the eldest aunt, right?" I don't recognize my six relatives! Lao Tzu is obviously enduring humiliation, but when she arrives, she will become a coward, and I will ...... it."
The guards next to him were originally very frustrated, but when they saw that Zhang Yunfan was also scolded, the imbalance in their hearts stabilized.
"What's your name?" After venting, Luo Hongyue remembered this.
When he met Uncle Ming before, Zhang Yunfan showed himself as Zhang Xuan, so at this moment, he should continue as before, "Under Zhang Xuan, the tutor of Canglu Academy, this is my brother, because he was injured by bandits, and now he ......"
When Zhang Yunfan's identity was revealed, Luo Hongyue's eyes showed a touch of contemplation, and then she thought of something, her expression became extremely rich, and she suddenly interrupted the narration and asked rhetorically: "Are you the one who participates in the Martial Soul Tournament every year, but always loses miserably?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was attracted, and they all looked at Zhang Yunfan, their eyes revealing great curiosity. Obviously, most people don't know who Zhang Xuan is, but Luo Hongyue's words are full of topicality, which makes people can't help but be interested.
"Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan, it's all your fault, alas......" North Mo City and Juejian City are separated by a desert, and it takes a night to go back and forth, such a long distance, Zhang Yunfan originally thought that no one would know him, and he didn't even think about this problem, but now at the gate of Juejian City, he was recognized by a woman he didn't know, and his mood can be imagined.
"Yes, it's me." Zhang Yunfan doesn't plan to hide it, after all, the name of waste has become a thing of the past, if Luo Hongyue goes to Canglu Academy to inquire now, it is to know about the college competition, and everything will be self-evident at that time, "I really didn't expect that my name could be known by the girl, it's really an honor." ”
Thick-skinned to a certain extent is a kind of realm, like Zhang Yunfan, a person who has been immersed in such a big dye vat as the society has long learned the true meaning of honor and disgrace and is well versed in the truth, so after listening to Luo Hongyue's words, he didn't react much, it was like gossiping, and there was no fireworks.
"It's really you!" first let out a sigh of emotion, and then Luo Hongyue said, "It's better to meet than ......to be famous" She didn't go down after the words, but everyone knows what the unfinished words mean.
Zhang Yunfan led the camel into the city with Luo Hongyue, this time the guards didn't dare to stop him again, but sent him off with a smile, but this smile was really a little meaningful, but Zhang Yunfan didn't care at all, and walked forward without hearing it.
Walking forward for a while, near a fork in the city, Luo Hongyue grabbed the reins, turned her head to Zhang Yunfan: "From now on, go forward, according to your footsteps, you can reach Baicaotang with only half a pillar of incense." The words fell, and without waiting for Zhang Yunfan's thanks, she kicked and walked away.
"This girl is enthusiastic and unrestrained, but cold as frost, which are two extremes!" After sighing, Zhang Yunfan shook his head, threw away his distracting thoughts, led the camel and walked alone, and came to Baicaotang after a while.
Since it was the first time he came to Absolute Sword City, Zhang Yunfan didn't know anything about the situation here, and looked left and right along the way, observing the environment in the city. Judging from what you saw along the way, the scale of Juejian City is larger and more prosperous than that of North Mo City, but it is only early in the morning, and there is no popularity on the street.
The street is very spacious, the width is seven or eight meters, and there are antique but magnificent pavilions on both sides.
The pavilions and streets here are connected together, just as the poem depicts the street scene of Chang'an for ten miles, the pavilions and pavilions are nearby, the green mountains in the distance, and the smoke and clouds in the field of vision are fascinating.
After walking for half a pillar of incense, there was a clear lake with weeping willows on the shore in front of him, and in the center of this lake, there was an island, looking from afar, there was a high platform, and on this high platform, a giant sword went straight into the clouds, Ling Ling was majestic and majestic, and a touch of majesty was shown in the quiet.
This is the monumental symbol of the Absolute Sword City-the Cloud Piercing Sword.
"This should be Jianxin Lake, to borrow Luo Hongyue's words, it's better to be famous than to see it!" Looking at the sparkling lake, Zhang Yunfan couldn't help but sigh. Turning his head to look at the street on the lakeside side, there is a tall building with three floors, and on the second floor there is a green banner hanging on each side of the window lattice, and the word "medicine shop" is written on it.
Look down again, there is a plaque hanging horizontally on the door, the book "Baicaotang", the door is built in front of the door, there is a red dragon pillar on the left and right, and a couplet is engraved on the dragon pillar - the pill elixir of longevity on the shelf, and the sun and moon are immortal in the pot.
Looking at the couplet, Zhang Yunfan raised a smile on the corner of his mouth. Although doing business is a gimmick, since people dare to attract people's attention with the elixir of longevity, the owner of Ming Baicaotang does have the ability, otherwise he would not dare to boast of such a Haikou and do something to smash his own signboard.
Baicaotang opened the door early, and there was a person who looked like a medicine boy at the door who was sweeping the ground with a broom, and when he heard the sound of camel hooves, the medicine boy turned his head and looked at the strange man on the camel's back, and said with a surprised face: "Could it be that this person has been poisoned by corpses?" His tone was not too arbitrary, so there was a hint of uncertainty.
"Brother's eyes are like torches!" Zhang Yunfan was secretly surprised, he didn't expect that even a medicine boy could see through the symptoms of a strange person at a glance. I took a deep breath and eased the surprise in my heart, "This is my brother, please let my brother know, it was Doctor Ding who recommended me." ”
"It turned out that Senior Brother Ding introduced me here, please come in." The medicine boy hurriedly stepped forward and took the strange man off the camel's back, carried him into the house and sat down on a Taishi chair, "I'll go and inform the master first, please wait!" ”
Taking advantage of the medicine boy's departure, Zhang Yunfan glanced at the environment in the pharmacy, and there was a smell of medicine in his nose, which was similar to the Chinese medicine shops he had seen on the earth before, the front hall was mainly divided into two parts, the left side was the counter, and a row of shelves were placed against the wall, and the shelves were divided into lattice type, that is, with drawers, and display type.
You don't have to think about it to know that the drawer-shaped shelves should be filled with processed medicinal materials, and the items displayed on the shelves are clear at a glance, such as some medicine bottles and relatively large amounts of medicinal herbs, among which there is a huge Ganoderma lucidum grass that is the most conspicuous, which can be regarded as the treasure of the town store.
"Guest, my master is here." The medicine boy went and returned, and pointed sideways to an old man who was slowly coming behind him, "This is my master, known as 'Old Man Baicao'." ”
The old man of Baicao has a childish face, and a black and white ink robe can't cover his tall and burly figure, but it adds a bit of dusty temperament.
"Old man Baicao, I heard that you were introduced here, I don't know how you met?" The old man Baicao's eyes were blazing, and there was a touch of wisdom in his kindness.
"In Xia Zhang Xuan, I met Mr. Baicao - Doctor Ding went to North Mocheng with the Luo family caravan to do business, we met in the desert, fortunately he pointed out that we found this place, and asked Mr. Baicao to heal my friend." Before he came, Zhang Yunfan thought about it, since he came to the realm of other people's homes, he might as well be happy and leisurely, and hand over the strange man to the old man Baicao for treatment, which can save a lot of trouble.
The old man nodded and didn't hurriedly agree, but came to the side of the strange man, checked for him, and then shook his head, "The situation is worrying, it is the corpse poison of the Five Poison Sect, this poison is extremely domineering, presumably the bad guy is already with you." ”
From last night's encounter with the Luo family's caravan to the present, Zhang Yunfan has heard the word Five Poison Gate twice, the first time was from Doctor Ding, but he only passed by, and did not explain in detail about the Five Poison Gate.
At this time, the old man of Baicao also mentioned the Five Poison Sect, and Zhang Yunfan couldn't help but be curious about this sect and the corpse poison. So he asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Baicao, what is the origin of these five poison gates, and is there anything special about corpse poison?" ”
The old man of Baicao seemed to be caught in a memory, his blazing eyes became a little divergent, and he sighed deeply before explaining, "Hundreds of years ago, an evil cultivation sect was born in the Great Wilderness Region, which established a sect with poisonous merits, killed many decent monks and mortals, and even slaughtered the city.
The two sides of good and evil thus formed a hatred, and things later intensified, and a war between good and evil broke out, and the five poisonous gates suffered heavy losses in that war, and disappeared from then on, but the decency also suffered heavy losses, almost a lose-lose result, so the decency has since collapsed, and it took hundreds of years to gradually recover its vitality. ”
At this point, the old man of Baicao looked at Zhang Yunfan, his eyes were extremely solemn!
"Do you know how the desert outside the city was formed?" He asked suddenly.
Zhang Yunfan was stunned for a moment, and when he thought of what happened to the old man of Baicao just now, he had a trace of speculation, "It can't be related to the Five Poison Sect, right?" ”
The old man of Baicao nodded, "That's right, a hundred years ago, there was no desert between Beimo City and Juejian City, there was a fertile oasis in the middle, the scenery was like a fairyland, there was a village every other mile, and the herdsmen lived here as nomads, until the disciples of the Five Poison Sect infiltrated here, cultivated poison skills in the desert, slaughtered living beings, and the fairyland became purgatory overnight. ”
Knowing this secret, Zhang Yunfan was shocked to the extreme, and said: "The poison skill is so powerful!" ”
The old man of Baicao sighed again and again, "It's so powerful, it's just extremely vicious, the place where the poison was applied back then still has no grass, and how many bones are buried under the dust that no one asks, and now the Five Poisons Gate is making a comeback, and the Great Wilderness is in danger!" ”
Zhang Yunfan didn't want to pay attention to the future, and at the moment he was most concerned about detoxifying the one-word weirdo, so he changed the topic, "Then do you think the corpse poison in my friend can be solved?" ”
"Difficult!" The old man Baicao's tone was difficult.
"Is there nothing you can do?" Zhang Yunfan felt that the detoxification liquid should work, but since he came, he had to ask the people first, and if there was a way, it would save trouble.
"It's not that there is no way, it's just that the corpse poison of the Five Poisons Gate is completely different from the ordinary corpse poison, and it is not something that ordinary antidote drugs can solve. The old man of Baicao had a solemn face.
"What's your medicine?" Zhang Yunfan was intensely curious.
"Centenarians." The old man of Baicao said.
