Chapter 31: The Past Reappears

Nong Qingyun patiently listened to Yongmen Guang count the specific ingredients of the poison in all kinds of torture, without urging him.

"Lily of the valley, colchicum, garcinia cambogia, aconitum, ah, aconitum has already been said...... That's all, that's all. ”

Nong Qingyun closed his eyes and swallowed his saliva painfully: "You go, leave Shennong Palace." In the future, you will not be a disciple of Shennong Palace, and I will no longer be your master. ”

"Master!" Yongmen Guang was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, "Master, I won't leave Shennong Palace, you will always be my master!" ”

"Let's go!" Nong Qingyun still closed his eyes and waved his hand, and the wrinkles on his broad forehead showed two more without mercy.

"No!" Yongmen Guang climbed to Nong Qingyun's feet, "No, Master, don't drive me away!" I listen to you for everything, I don't dare! ”

A few tears fell on Nong Qingyun's hand, and Nong Qingyun slowly opened his eyes: "Confess." ”

"I, I said, it's Haihui tea." Yongmen Guang threw his head on the ground, painfully recalling the ecstatic moment a few hours ago.

"Haihui tea? Haihui tea at Kaikai Temple? Nong Qingyun was taken aback, and Haihui tea leaves with rough crumbs and thick tea stalks appeared in front of him, and an indescribable sense of foreboding passed through his heart.

"Yes, Master." Yongmen Guang raised his head, his eyes moist, and dust sticking to his forehead.

"What the hell is going on? Let's take it into detail! Nong Qingyun's eyes widened, and his sharp gaze rested on his apprentice's neck like a knife.

"Last night when I was about to go to bed, a dark shadow flashed through my window. I heard something he had thrown into my house, and I got up to check it. It turned out to be a small packet of tea leaves with the words 'Haihui tea, top toxicity'......"

Yongmen Guang glanced at the master, and saw that his eyes that distinguished right from wrong no longer had any doubts about him, and regretted that he was stupid enough to think that he could hide it from the master in front of him.

He mentions the spirit to describe it in detail to atone for his sins: "I am not satisfied with the poison I have prepared. I think I won't be able to get the first place in tomorrow's assessment anyway, so I'll just be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, so I'll join this Haihui tea and try it. I crushed Haihui tea into powder, added it to the pills I had prepared, mixed it and baked it. After it was made, I ran to the back mountain overnight and caught a wild dog to test the medicine. The wild dog died instantly, and the death was horrific. After adding Haihui tea, the poison I prepared was a hundred times more toxic than any I had tried before. I thought I would definitely win the first place today, but I didn't expect ......"

"Can you guess who that dark shadow is?" Nong Qingyun narrowed his eyes, as if trying to travel through time and space to capture the dark shadow.

"I can't guess, I haven't seen anything, it's pitch black, and it's gone in a flash, but it's ......"

"But what? Don't spit it out! ”

"It's like he's not big.".

Nong Qingyun pondered for a moment and found nothing, and then looked at Yongmen Guang with expectant eyes, Yongmen Guang patted his head, pondered, but could no longer spit out the slightest depiction of that mysterious figure.

"What about Haihui tea, where is it?" Nong Qingyun turned to key physical evidence in a timely manner.

"It's all made into pills, only five pills."

"Let's go, go to the storeroom." As he got up, he unexpectedly kicked over an incense burner, his favorite brush over his cuffs, and his skirt stained with the fine powder he had just grinded.

The treasury is located on the west side of Shennong Palace, and all the things for the disciples of Shennong Palace are placed inside, including clothing, ready-to-wear, tableware, charcoal, the four treasures of the study, and congratulatory gifts from various sects.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the tea sent by each door was placed in the warehouse. Nong Qingyun rarely went in and out of the warehouse, and after persevering and searching row by row, he found the cabinet where the tea was placed.

He clearly remembered the humble Haihui tea, which was not in good condition and had no fragrance, because it was so far from other teas that he easily found it lying quietly in a dark corner, as ugly as he had seen it at first.

Nong Qingyun grabbed a little tea and put it in the palm of his hand, his eyes that could see through everything showed confusion: "Is this Haihui tea that you put into the medicine?" ”

"That's right, that's it!" Yongmen Guang is as righteous as identifying the murderer.

"You sniff, sniff carefully!" Nong Qingyun ordered.

Yongmen Guang put his nose up, sniffed it a few times, and then raised his head eagerly, just wanted to speak and remembered the master's earnest teachings on prudence, lowered his head again, and was engrossed in feeling the smell coming to his face, and repeatedly confirmed that he no longer doubted before raising his head and saying, "It's it, it tastes exactly the same." ”

Nong Qingyun stared at the tea leaves in his hand, his eyes could no longer leave, thinking that they were still ordinary in his eyes on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he had never noticed that there was a hidden murder motive in them, but today he almost took the life of his apprentice, and even he was almost helpless.

Shennong Palace has no relationship with Haihui Temple, why did Haihui Temple send this highly poisonous tea? Who put it in Yongmenguang's house? What is his purpose? Is it to make my attention to him?

"Master!" Yongmen Guang called softly, trying to explain again, completely dispelling all of Master's doubts.

"Oh," Nong Qingyun came back to his senses, "you go out first, I'll stay for a while." By the way, don't mention this to anyone, including your brother. ”

"Yes, Master!" Yongmen Guang walked lightly out of the storeroom, glad that the master had completely forgotten the punishment against him.

Nong Qingyun put the Haihui tea to his nose and smelled it, a sudden shiver came from his hand to his back, and the tea almost spilled to the ground.

There is a hint of imperceptible smell in the gray color of Haihui tea, like the herb pill that has been passed down for thousands of years in Shennong Palace, but it is not exactly the same.

It has several or more than a dozen highly toxic ingredients from hundreds of formulas of baicaodan, which are used to fight poison with poison, and the same processing method is applied.

What frightened Nong Qingyun even more was that it also had a taste that Baicaodan's did not have—a fishy smell, which he speculated was from the outrageous Gu worms.

How can Haihui tea have the taste of baicaodan?

Baicaodan, which is unique to Shennong Palace, no one knows the recipe and concoction method of Baicaodan, except for the palace master. Could it be that this Haihui tea has something to do with the people of my Shennong Palace?

This thought made Nong Qingyun tremble again, and his thoughts struggled through the layers of barriers he had carefully set up, returning to the dusty years that had been sealed for a long time.

Twenty years ago, the palace master of Shennong Palace was his master Nong Pingfeng. There are three disciples under Nong Pingfeng, the eldest disciple Nong Qingshan, the second disciple Nong Qingyun, and the third disciple Nong Qinghai. They are all orphans adopted by Nong Pingfeng.

Nongqingshan has the best martial arts, is the most reused by the master, and is considered by everyone to be the future successor of Shennong Palace.

Nong Qinghai is highly qualified, brilliant, indulged in pharmacological research and has achieved extraordinary attainments, and even Nong Pingfeng is ashamed of himself.

Nong Qingyun has the worst qualifications among the three senior brothers, but his mind is exquisite, which not only pleases the master, but also has a good popularity among the disciples of Shennong Palace.

When Nong Pingfeng was alive, he passed on the recipe of Baicao Dan to Nong Qingshan. Later, many changes occurred in Shennong Palace.

Nong Qingshan left the country and was never heard from. Nong Qinghai suddenly disappeared, his whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown. Nong Pingfeng had no choice but to pass on the position of palace master to Nong Qingyun, and he also got the recipe for Baicaodan.

"Big brother!" Nong Qingyun had a premonition that the Haihui tea in his hand was related to Nong Qingshan, and the fear of the unknown was instantly replaced by nameless anger, he clenched his fists, and the tea leaves in his palm were almost crushed.

"Ahh His palms turned from blue to black, and it seemed that dull tea leaves seeped into them and spread throughout his arms.

He quickly clicked on his acupuncture points to prevent the venom from spreading rampantly along the blood, and then grabbed all the Haihui tea in the cabinet, which was actually only a small packet, and hurriedly left the warehouse and returned to the pharmacy.

He took the smoke and smoke, and used the power to heal the poison. Half an hour later, the toxin had been completely removed from his body. He began to examine Haihui Tea again, tossing and turning, and confirming it again and again, until he made a decision that was about to change the rest of his life.

Yongmen Guang returned to the house and collapsed on the bed exhausted. When he remembered that he had been ruthlessly deprived of the title of winner of Shennong's poison tasting assessment, the joy of a moment ago was gone.

The weight of the old weight weighed on him again, and even the breath broke his ribs.

Why is Master so good to Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother? The moment they were poisoned and fell to the ground, Master was at a loss, he had never been so panicked.

But as for himself, no matter how hard he tries, Master still can't see his merits. The master decided that he did not have the ability to make the best poison, and used the cruel method of expelling the master to force him to vomit the truth.

Even after he confessed, he didn't say a word of forgiveness to him, didn't give him a reassuring look.

It is thanks to him that he treats his master wholeheartedly, treats Shennong Palace, and makes friends from the perspective of benefiting the future of Shennong Palace. He wanted to become the next palace master of Shennong Palace, and he thought about Shennong Palace with all his heart, but all this was destined to be just a dream.

Yongmen Guang shook his head desperately, and the seeds of hatred sprouted again, urging him to start over and change his fate at the mercy of others.

Nong Qingyun decided to go to Haihui Temple to find out. Whether it is digging up the old history or encountering unprecedented difficulties, he must take the initiative. He called Nong Tieshu to the study.

"Tie Shu, Dad plans to go to Haihui Temple."

"Haihui Temple? We Shennong Palace and Haihui Temple have been going from the future, why did my father want to go? ”

"The Haihui tea they sent is highly poisonous."

"Haihui tea is highly poisonous? This...... How so? Nong Tieshu's face changed, as if he was facing a great enemy, "What do they mean?" Want to be an enemy of our Shennong Palace? ”

"I don't know yet, so I'm going to visit in person."

"Daddy......"

"Shennong Palace will be handed over to you. During my absence, you have to take care of the affairs inside and outside the palace, and don't make any trouble. We've just made some improvements, and we can't let the younger ones take advantage of it. ”

"Dad, I ......"

"What? You can't afford it? ”

"No, Dad, I want to go with you." Nong Tieshu's face was full of concern, "I'm worried that you will be in danger. ”

"Your father has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he has swallowed danger as a grain of cooking when eating; Sleep with danger as a blanket; When he was on a horse, he smashed the danger with one whip after another. ”

Nong Qingyun's gaze gradually softened: "The last thing Dad is afraid of is danger. ”
