The medicine stove lit a fire in the backyard, and Qi Ning personally helped the shop guys prepare the medicinal materials on the list. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There is a special warehouse at the back of the pharmacy, which is stacked with all kinds of medicinal materials, Qi Ning looks a little messy, but the shop guy is very familiar with it, and it is very easy to prepare the required medicinal materials one by one.

The medicinal herbs are all placed in porcelain bowls and placed in the courtyard, and dozens of porcelain bowls are put together, which is very spectacular.

Tang Nuo went out, summoned the shopkeeper over, and said a few words, the shopkeeper nodded yes, went to the yard, and said, "Take a penny from Bu Ke, Hook Vine, Tongcao, Cang'erzi, and Crow Guts, and put them together to suffer ......!" Seeing that Zhao Wuxian and the others were looking at themselves blankly, thinking that these guys didn't know anything about medicinal materials, they could only go over by themselves, took the medicine scale, selected a few medicinal materials, and each took a penny and put it in a medicine stove.

As soon as he put it down here, Tang Nuo's voice came again: "Gu Jingcao, hook vine, cassia seed, and Mao Dongqing take one penny each, and put them together to suffer." ”

The guy in the shop could only choose again, he was the only one present who knew the medicinal herbs, and the others could only watch dryly.

Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door in front of him, Qi Ning hurried over, at this time, he needed someone who knew pharmacology, and I don't know if Doctor Song had already rushed over.

Open the door, but there is no sign outside the door, Qi Ning frowned, was about to close the door, suddenly heard a cough on the side, Qi Ning was vigilant, poked his head out and knocked on the side, the night was dark, the sky was cold, and he saw a figure standing there at the root of the wall outside the door, Qi Ning frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is it?" ”

The man seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally said, "Master Hou, it's always called Huazi!" ”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, feeling that the voice was very familiar, and quickly remembered who it was, and asked, "Is it Elder Suzaku?" "But I heard that it seemed to be Elder Suzaku, the helmsman of the Southern Seven Residences Branch of the Beggar Gang.

"Master Hou has good ears." Elder Suzaku stepped forward, and the light in the room made Qi Ning recognize that it was indeed Elder Suzaku.

Elder Suzaku was wearing a big black robe, holding a Vermilion Bird Iron Staff in his hand, and his expression looked very solemn.

"Elder Suzaku, why are you here?" Qi Ning was a little surprised to see that Elder Suzaku had found the medicine shop in the middle of the night.

Elder Suzaku said in a low voice, "Can Master Hou enjoy a cup of hot water to drink?" ”

Qi Ning thought that the house was very busy, and this old beggar really didn't come at the right time, but seeing that he was quite old, he came over in the middle of the night, and it was freezing outside at this time, so he didn't hesitate too much, and said, "Come in and talk." "Let Elder Suzaku come in.

Elder Suzaku entered the room and looked around, Qi Ning pointed to the corner of the room, Elder Suzaku arched his hand and went straight over, Qi Ning went over and poured a cup of hot water and sent it over, Elder Suzaku hurriedly took it, and said continuously: "Thank you, Master Hou." ”

There is a small case and three chairs in the corner of this house, Duan Canghai and others were guarding here before, Elder Suzaku drank a few sips of hot water, then put down the teacup and said straight to the point: "Master Hou, from the time you left last night to just now, seven more brothers from the Beggar Gang died of poison. ”

Qi Ning was shocked in his heart, and frowned: "Have you beggar gang disciples been taken to Nanhe Lane?" ”

Elder Suzaku looked solemn, shook his head and said, "It's better not to interfere in the affairs of the beggar gang. However, Lao Zhaohua has already placed all the disciples infected with the epidemic in the gang together, and sent people to guard them strictly, so that others can't get in, and they can't get out. After a pause, he said: "Lao Zhaohua has already checked, and now the number of infected disciples is two hundred and fifty-three people, and more than half of them are already in a very serious situation. ”

Qi Ning bowed slightly, and said, "You came here to ask if you have found a way to detoxify?" ”

"I always call Hanako, I know that I am a little too anxious." Elder Suzaku smiled bitterly and said, "But this day, there are brothers dying every day, and the old name Hanako is helpless, it's really .......!" ”

"I understand." Qi Ning Dao was able to comprehend Elder Vermilion's state of mind.

This kind of thing is not a test of martial arts, let alone a test of resourcefulness, in the face of the epidemic, since the group of beggars can't find a way, even if they have a body of martial arts and full strength, they can't make it, so they can only do it in a hurry.

"Master Hou, Bai Shenghao...... He has also been infected with the epidemic virus and has just been discovered today. Elder Suzaku hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed.

Qi Ning was taken aback.

Bai Shenghao is the helmsman of the Beggar Gang's Ghost Golden Sheep Divider, and in the Gyeonggi area, except for Elder Suzaku, the Beggar Gang has the highest status of Bai Shenghao.

He never imagined that even Bai Shenghao was infected with the epidemic virus.

"The disciples in the gang were poisoned, and in the past few days, Bai Shenghao has been sleepless day and night in order to deal with this matter, and he has had a lot of contact with those infected disciples." Elder Suzaku frowned and said, "But I don't want to end up even being infected with the plague poison even him. Hou Ye, I always asked Huazi to come tonight, I just want to ask, how sure is Hou Ye about finding a way to detoxify? ”

At this moment, he heard another knock on the door, and Qi Ning asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Master Hou, it's a little old." Doctor Song's voice came from outside, Qi Ning immediately got up, went over and opened the door, Doctor Song came in, and asked urgently, "Master Hou has something to find Xiao Lao?" ”

Qi Ning pointed back and said, "You go to the back to help Miss Tang, she will tell you what to do." Then he said to the guard who brought back Dr. Song: "You also go to the backyard to help." ”

The two hurriedly went to the back, Tang Nuo obviously heard the movement, went out and called Dr. Song, and said a few words, and Dr. Song nodded slightly.

"Here...... Looking for a detoxification here? Elder Suzaku looked at it and hurriedly asked.

Qi Ning bowed his head slightly, and said, "Elder Suzaku, in fact, until now, I can't give you a positive answer, but since yesterday, my side has been looking for a way to detoxify, whether it succeeds or not, I can only do my best to obey the destiny of heaven." After a pause, he said, "But you can rest assured, if you find a way to detoxify, I will tell you about the beggars as soon as possible." ”

Elder Suzaku stood up and said gratefully, "Master Hou, if the disciples of the Beggar Gang can be saved, Master Hou will be the benefactor of my Beggar Gang. ”

Qi Ning waved his hand and poured another cup of hot water for Elder Suzaku before asking, "Elder Suzaku, there is one thing that I actually want to know, but if I am presumptuous in asking about this matter, don't be surprised." ”

"What does Master Hou want to ask?"

"You were sure from the beginning that this was the dead hand of the Black Lotus Holy Sect, why were you so sure?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "Is it from the poison?" ”

Elder Suzaku hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Don't hide it from Master Hou, when the beggar gang started spreading the epidemic, we didn't notice it, and until someone died of poison, we thought it was just a disease. But after several deaths one after another, we realized that something was wrong, summoned the best helpers, and asked a few people in the rivers and lakes to help check, only to find out that it was poisoned. ”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, and Elder Vermilion Bird continued: "And we quickly found out that the body of the corpse that died of poison contained Miao Jiang's Gu egg poison. ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that the beggar gang had also discovered the Gu egg poison, and asked, "So you judge that it is the hand of the Black Lotus Holy Sect?" ”

"Does Master Hou also know about the Black Lotus Holy Sect?" Elder Suzaku asked.

Qi Ning thought for a moment before he said, "Elder Vermilion Bird, I won't hide it from you, the imperial court has also listed the Black Lotus Holy Sect as a suspect, and there are already people who want to use troops against the Black Lotus Holy Sect. ”

"The imperial court wants to use troops against the Black Lotus Holy Sect?" Elder Vermilion Bird was stunned for a moment, thoughtful, and then said: "Gu egg poison is only available in Miao Jiang, and with Gu egg poison as a medicine, we can refine such a powerful poison, but we are helpless, and only the Black Lotus Holy Sect has such a ability. After a pause, he said, "Even so, we wouldn't have made a rash assertion, but not long ago, our beggar gang had a conflict with the Black Lotus Holy Sect, and ...... And also hurt their people, so ......! ”

"You have a conflict with the Black Lotus Holy Sect?" Qi Ning immediately asked, "Where?" Is it in the capital? ”

Elder Suzaku shook his head and said, "It's not in the city, but it's also near the capital." A while ago, a disciple found that a few Miao people suddenly appeared near the capital, mysterious and secretive, so they immediately summoned people to secretly follow them to see what they were doing. ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that this is you beggars helping you to do a lot of things, but I also know that the people of the rivers and lakes like to meddle in things, and this beggar gang is not weak in the Gyeonggi area, and it is natural to see rare things and want to figure it out.

"Originally, we didn't think that we were from the Black Lotus Holy Sect, after all, the Black Lotus Holy Sect was far away on the border of Bashu and did not set foot in the Central Plains." Elder Suzaku said with a solemn expression: "After the disciples in the gang followed, who knew that the other party was also very vigilant and wanted to get rid of it, the more they were like this, the more strange we felt, and they were entangled, and the other party saw that they couldn't get rid of it, and they actually had murderous intentions." ”

"So the two sides fought?"

Elder Suzaku nodded slightly: "They set up an ambush, attacked our people, and killed several of our brothers, but fortunately, two of them had bad knowledge and escaped their poisonous hands. Our beggar gang has always been reasonable, and we don't want to be easily enemies with other forces in the rivers and lakes, but the other party is so ruthless, we naturally can't sit idly by. ”

"The rivers and lakes pay attention to repaying kindness and revenge, and you have been killed by them, so naturally you will not give up." Qi Ning said.

Elder Suzaku said, "The beggar gang immediately sent people to search for those people, and they found them in less than two days, and then ......!" After a pause, he groaned slightly, and then said: "I wanted them to make it clear, but they were quite unreasonable, and they did it when they met, and in the end..... In the end, two of them were also killed, and the remaining one also fled. His brows furrowed: "We checked the corpses and found that they had Black Lotus tattoos on their bodies, which were the marks of the Black Lotus Holy Sect, and then we knew that they had formed a feud with the Black Lotus Holy Sect." ”

Only then did Qi Ning come to his senses and said, "So the beggars helped the disciples to infect the epidemic poison, and the Gu egg poison in the poison came from Miao Jiang, plus you just killed the people of the Black Lotus Holy Sect not long ago, so it is natural to think that this is the poisonous hand of the Black Lotus Holy Sect." You think this is a grievance between the rivers and lakes, if you alarm the government, your beggars will not look good, so you hide the epidemic, but you don't know that it has caused a monstrous disaster. ”

Elder Suzaku looked solemn and said, "That's right. ”

"Elder Vermilion Bird, since you said that the Black Lotus Holy Sect is not involved in the Central Plains, then can you figure out why the Black Lotus Holy Sect sent people to the Gyeonggi area this time?" Qi Ning asked with a frown.
