Chapter 759: In Distress
"Month! Yue ......" Zhang Yunfan hurriedly got up, pulled Duanmu Xianyue's arm and shook it vigorously, but he couldn't wake up, so he had no choice but to look at the old man angrily, "What did you do to her?" β
The smile on the old man's face became brighter and brighter, but there was less simplicity and more imperceptible cunning, "How can this be, is it sick?" β
At this moment, Zhang Yunfan's feet swayed, his center of gravity was unstable when he held his head, and he would shake back and forth at any time, holding on to the table to stabilize his body, "What's wrong with me?" How can you be so dizzy......" Before the words fell, his legs went limp, and he lay on the ground and struggled for a while before he stopped moving.
"Young people! Youngster! This is not the place to sleep, wake up! The old man came to him and called softly twice, and when he saw that they didn't move, he straightened his waist, "This kid has a good physique, and he can carry it for so long before fainting, which is very suitable for refining into an insect man." He stared at Zhang Yunfan's body, his eyes shining, as if he had seen a rare treasure.
After a while, the old man turned back to the table, picked up the wine jug and poured himself a drink, and waited until he was full of food and drink before he got up and picked up the two of them one by one and walked towards the back room.
Came to the side of the bed, lifted the bed board to reveal a large hole hidden below, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen, the old man first threw Zhang Yunfan in, and then Duanmu Xianyue, but when he let go of his hand and was about to close the bed board, there was a woman's faint cry of pain below, the old man was suddenly alert, stretched out his head and looked under the hole, but only saw a cloud of darkness.
"Girl!" The old man lay down at the entrance of the cave and shouted softly, but there was no response, and he couldn't help but wonder if it could have been an auditory hallucination just now.
After looking at it for a while, he didn't see anything strange, so the old man straightened his waist, re-covered the bed board, and walked out of the room slowly. There was darkness under the hole, and nothing could be seen, and in this darkness, Zhang Yunfan was holding Duanmu Xianyue in his arms, covering the woman's mouth with his hand, but the expression on his face was extremely distorted, "Sister, can you let go of your mouth first?" You're about to bite off the meat. β
In the dark, Zhang Yunfan let go of his hand, but Duanmu Xianyue didn't let go, biting the soft flesh on the edge of his palm, with a gritted tooth expression, "It's all you, the eldest sister who hurt me was almost killed by a fall, this bite is a punishment." β
Zhang Yunfan was extremely depressed and said: "Eldest sister, I am also a victim, why is it too anxious to fry each other from the same root, you let go quickly, we still have to do serious things." With that, he released his senses, glanced around, and made a surprise discovery.
Duanmu Xianyue is not an unreasonable woman, she let go of her mouth after venting her grievances, Zhang Yunfan shook her hand in pain, rubbed the bitten place, and touched a row of neat tooth marks, which have been engraved in the flesh, and cannot be erased for the time being.
"You really guessed it right just now, that old man really has a problem, but how did you see it?" Duanmu Xianyue's body was a little weak, and she couldn't get up for a while, so she could only lie in Zhang Yunfan's arms, talking as much as possible to hide her thumping mood.
"Remember the herbs that were planted in the yard?" Zhang Yunfan asked rhetorically.
Duanmu Xianyue Muran nodded and said, "Remember, they are all ordinary fire attribute herbs, what's wrong?" β
Zhang Yunfan explained: "At first glance, there is nothing wrong with those herbs, but if they are combined with a medicinal primer, they are psychedelic drugs that cause people to fall into a coma." β
Also as an alchemist, Duanmu Xianyue has a deep understanding of the raw restraint of medicinal herbs, and knows very well the meaning of Zhang Yunfan's words. A hundred kinds of herbs often have a hundred kinds of medicinal properties, which can be combined with each other to formulate different medicinal properties, some can cure diseases, some are highly toxic, and some can hallucinate, just like Zhang Yunfan's.
"What's that primer?" Duanmu Xianyue still didn't understand the origin of Zhang Yunfan's hallucinogenic psychedelic drugs.
"It's the pot of fruit wine." Zhang Yunfan's tone was very firm, and he continued to explain, "Before, the old man got two Huotoutuo, one of which he ate a year ago, regardless of the truth or falsehood of these words, this Huotoutuo alone is a necessary thing for brewing fruit wine, that is, the medicine introduction I just told you." β
Hearing this, Duanmu Xianyue suddenly realized, "So that's the case, when we entered the door, we smelled the medicinal fragrance of those herbs, and it was fine at the time, but the medicinal properties have accumulated in the body, and after eating Huotoutuo, the accumulated medicinal properties were stimulated, so the current symptoms appeared, fortunately, there is your detoxification spiritual liquid, otherwise we would be miserable this time." β
When the old man went to the kitchen to cook before, Zhang Yunfan, who had already noticed the abnormality, took out a bottle of antidote spirit liquid and asked Duanmu Xianyue to take it, but it was just a psychedelic drug used by others, and the corresponding antidote must be taken.
"You lean here first, and I'll go see the rest." Zhang Yunfan held Duanmu Xianyue's left and right armpits, helped her to the wall, and turned to grope in the dark.
Just stepped out and grabbed his arm with a slender hand, "What are you doing?" Zhang Yunfan was slightly stunned, turned his head and glanced at Duanmu Xianyue with his divine sense.
"You've drunk so much fruit wine, why are you okay?" Duanmu Xianyue didn't suspect that Zhang Yunfan had a problem, but was just curious about why he could still move freely after being hit.
In fact, Zhang Yunfan is because of his physique, since he has a clean body, he has a physique that is invulnerable to all poisons, whether it is poison or psychedelics, it doesn't work for him, it can be used as a snack to fight tooth sacrifices, but this matter is not suitable to come out, so I can only find an excuse to prevaricate, "I, when I saved you before, didn't I use psychedelics, I took the antidote before, it should be related to this." β
Psychedelics also belong to the category of poisons, but there are not many types of psychedelics, unlike poisons, which can stand on their own, so they are classified as poisons. It is precisely because there are few types of psychedelic drugs, and the recipes for configuring psychedelic drugs are also very similar, so sometimes, blindly antidote can solve a variety of psychedelic drugs, Duanmu Xianyue is very clear about this as an alchemist, so Zhang Yunfan believes it.
Underneath the earthen house is a cellar-like dark room, which is blocked by wooden planks to form a space, and under the shroud of Zhang Yunfan's divine sense, the outline of the dark room emerges in his mind.
The space of the dark room is not very large, about fifteen square meters, no more than ten steps in length and distance, slowly came to the wall on the other side of the dark room and paused, there was a group of people lying under the wall, it was the lost Mingxi Gongzi and others, but they were all in a coma now, and the encounter was obviously the same as Zhang Yunfan, they were all stunned by psychedelics.
After squatting down to check on Zhang Yunfan, he found that everyone had fallen into a deep coma, and no matter how they patted, they couldn't wake up, so they couldn't help sighing: "It seems that only the antidote can wake them up." β
Now in the dark room, the old man with ulterior motives may appear at any time, according to Zhang Yunfan's speculation, since he can't sense the other party's cultivation, he only understands two situations, either the other party has no cultivation at all, and he is just a thief who wants to make money and kill him, but it is also possible that the other party's cultivation is much higher than him, so he can't sense it.
In these two speculations, Zhang Yunfan has a hunch that the latter may be more likely to be more hearted, if this is the case, then the situation will be worse, even if everyone is awakened, it is not easy to escape, but this is not the worst situation, I am afraid that the old man has another identity and has a relationship with the Sima family who wants to rebel.
After thinking about it quickly, Zhang Yunfan couldn't figure out a clue, so he had to save people first, wait until everyone woke up, and then brainstorm and discuss a countermeasure.
The dark room is connected to the upper room, and if there is any wind and grass below, it may be noticed by the old man, so you can't open the furnace for alchemy here, the only way is to prepare medicinal powder, which is a way to retreat, although the medicinal effect will be slightly worse, but it can also wake people up, as long as this step is done, wait until everyone wakes up, and drive out the residual medicinal power by themselves.
After thinking of countermeasures, Zhang Yunfan took out the corresponding herbs from the storage ring, urged the Force to shake all these herbs into powder, mixed them together, poured them into a kettle, shook them evenly, first gave Duanmu Xianyue a sip, and then fed everyone one by one.
The effect of the water mixed with the medicinal powder was very good, and after Duanmu Xianyue ran the exercises, the feeling of soreness and weakness in his body subsided, and he gradually recovered his strength.
"Thank you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd ......"
Zhang Yunfan waved his hand to interrupt her words, "You don't have to be so polite, acquaintance is fate, and there is no need to worry about it." β
For Zhang Yunfan, saving people is just a matter of hand, but for Duanmu Xianyue, it is a matter of life and death.
"No matter what, you are my savior, and when I return to Absolute Sword City, I will definitely thank you." Duanmu Xianyue made a promise, and the appearance of a positive color really made people laugh.
"How do you thank you for being so grateful?" Zhang Yunfan teased, leaned his head closer, lowered his voice, but lengthened his tone, and his appearance was a little frivolous, resulting in a somewhat weird atmosphere.
"How do you want to be grateful?" Although it was dark all around, for the monks, the darkness did not have much impact on vision, not to mention that Zhang Yunfan was so close that he could almost feel each other's breathing, Duanmu Xianyue's face suddenly turned slightly red, and he shrank back to the wall.
Zhang Yunfan blurted out: "It's okay to make a promise." β
Duanmu Xianyue didn't expect him to do this at all, his slightly red cheeks were instantly covered with redness, and he felt a sense of trance for a moment, but then he thought of a person, that is, the man who defeated her in the ring, "I already have a fiancΓ©, please respect yourself!" β
Self-respect has no meaning at all for a veteran of the love field like Zhang Yunfan, just as he was about to tease further, a cough came from the corner not far away, and his divine sense swept away to see that Doctor Suotu had woken up.
