Chapter 887: Gnomes
The ghost old sneered: "Ghost trick, do you think I will believe it? ”
Chu Huan smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry, I can wait." To tell you the truth, this official has really never seen the outbreak of corpse insect poison, although the people of the Shenyi Guard are terrifying, I think it may just be their alarmism. Don't worry, we can wait together, but if your body really starts to stiffen, I just hope you cherish your life and talk to me. He had already taken out a small porcelain bottle from his waist, and said with a smile: "As long as you can restrain yourself from the precipice and tie your hands, this official can still detoxify you." ”
The ghost old man stared at the porcelain bottle in Chu Huan's hand, and said in a deep voice: "This is the antidote to corpse insect poison?" ”
Chu Huan said leisurely: "Yes, my original intention was not to kill you, I just wanted to arrest you and return to the yamen." He held the small porcelain bottle in the palm of his hand, "As long as you come out of it, after you are tied up, I can give you the antidote." ”
The ghost elder sneered, "Don't you think this method is too despicable? ”
"Do everything for the court." Chu Huan said lightly: "The imperial court never asks us about the process of running errands, and the standard for rewarding meritorious deeds is just to see the results. ”
The ghost elder sighed, and finally said, "The ghost party has no intention of rebelling, so why are you suspicious?" Looking at Chu Huan, he said calmly: "I can go with you, but you can't hurt the ghost Fang alone!" ”
Chu Huan sighed: "This is just the will of the imperial court, in fact...... Ghost elder, I won't tell you, I have no hostility towards the ghost side, if you can follow me back to the yamen, meet the governor, and explain in detail, it may not be that you will not stop the army. To tell you the truth, what the court cares about is the weapons of the ghost side, and if you can persuade the ghost side to hand over all the weapons to the court, I can assure you that the ghost side will be safe and sound. ”
The ghost old man had already stood up at this time, and Chu Huan finally saw clearly at this time that the ghost elder's body was extremely short, and it looked like it was only the height of a seven or eight-year-old child.
His eyes were solemn, he actually walked out of the grotto, stopped a few steps away from Chu Huan, stared at Chu Huan, and said, "I'll go with you to see your governor now, do you still want to tie me up?" ”
"You can only offend!" Chu Huan said regretfully.
The ghost old sneered, "Then why don't you come." He poked his hands out of his sleeves, looking like he was at the disposal of Chu Huan, "I just hope you brought the rope." ”
Chu Huan smiled, took two steps forward, and was about to speak, when at this moment, the figure of the ghost old man was like a ghost, and suddenly rushed towards Chu Huan, so fast and terrifying.
Chu Huan was taken aback, and said sharply: "You are already poisonous, how dare you ......!" Before the words fell, the old ghost had already grabbed Chu Huan's throat with one hand, and it was extremely fast, and those eyes became extremely sharp.
Chu Huan hurriedly stepped back and raised his hand to go to the grid, but the ghost old man's hand had already caught Chu Huan's wrist, Chu Huan was taken aback, only felt a numbness in his hand, and then felt two fingers poking into his palm, and suddenly, the other party had already snatched the porcelain bottle held in the palm of his hand, Chu Huan shouted: "It's not so easy!" A punch followed the ghost elder, with a desperate posture, obviously trying to take the porcelain bottle back.
The ghost old man smiled "hehe", his figure is not tall, but his movements are unusually sensitive, the light skills are really outstanding, first-class, Chu Huan's fist didn't even touch his clothes, the ghost old man floated away lightly, fell to the ground, and was already five or six steps away from Chu Huan, Chu Huan was obviously unwilling, and his body pounced again, but the ghost elder's light skills were really good, Chu Huan had not yet approached, and the ghost old man had already flashed to the side of the stone sculpture of the python god, and his body rose in the air, like a dexterous monkey, He had already flown and landed on the shoulder of the stone carving of the python god, condescendingly, looking down at Chu Huan.
Chu Huan gasped, looking at the ghost old man standing on the shoulder of the stone carving, he didn't seem to expect that the ghost old man would have such a powerful light skill, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly laughed.
The ghost old man looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, and when he heard Chu Huan suddenly laugh, his eyes crossed a strange color, and asked, "Why are you laughing?" ”
Chu Huan raised his hand and pointed at the ghost elder, "Do you really think that's the antidote?" ”
"Oh?" The old ghost rolled his eyes and smiled: "Isn't this an antidote?" ”
"Of course not." Chu Huan said with a straight face: "In order to deal with you, I finally got the corpse insect poison from the Divine Guard, how could I bring the antidote with me?" ”
There was a smile in the ghost elder's eyes, "You just told me that you don't want me to die, you just want to catch me, so it makes sense to have an antidote on you." ”
Chu Huan hurriedly said, "But...... But that's not the antidote. ”
The ghost elder looked down at Chu Huan with a smile and asked, "This is not an antidote, is it still a poison?" ”
Chu Huan sighed: "Yes, actually...... In fact, it is really poison, it can't be detoxified at all, if you really take it, it will only be more poisonous, and it can't be detoxified at all! ”
The ghost old man actually squatted down on the shoulder of the stone carving, his figure was extremely short and thin, after squatting down, if he didn't look at his head, he really looked like a little monkey, Chu Huan was not young when he heard his voice, but his body was so short, it seemed that this person's body was not normal, it was actually a dwarf.
Although the ghost old man was short, his eyes were very sharp, staring at Chu Huan's eyes, and he seemed to smile and said, "Then tell me, what kind of poison is this?" ”
"That ......!" Chu Huan's eyes rolled, and finally said, "Actually, that's ...... That's sausage! ”
"Piercing the intestines?" The ghost old man laughed and said, "This name sounds a little vicious. ”
"The name is vicious, the medicinal properties are even more vicious, and after taking it, the intestines will rot." Chu Huan said with a straight face: "So if you want to use it to detoxify corpse insect poison, it can only disappoint you." ”
The ghost elder sighed lightly: "Chu Huan, do you know that the way you lie is really funny." He actually opened the porcelain bottle and said leisurely: "You are afraid that I will take the antidote to cure the corpse insect poison, so you will make up a lie, if this is not the antidote, why do you want to desperately snatch it back?" Do you really think you can fool me? His eyes flashed with disdain, he had already removed the cork of the porcelain bottle, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and said with a smile: "The antidote to corpse insect poison tastes so special." ”
Chu Huan had already said urgently: "Don't take it, then ...... That's really poison, you ...... You don't regret it! ”
The ghost old man sighed: "I don't regret doing things. No longer hesitated, poured all the powder in the porcelain bottle into his mouth, as if he was afraid that the antidote dose was not enough, and poured the powder at the bottom of the bottle clean at his mouth, then he threw the porcelain bottle away, licked his tongue, and said with a smile: "Chu Huan, you think you are very smart, but in fact, the really smart people in this world have always been deeply hidden, just like me, my smartness, you can't see it." ”
Chu Huan smiled bitterly: "Do you know, the first time I saw you, your eyes lit up, I knew that your skills were very good, I once heard people say that when a person's martial arts cultivation reaches a certain level, his eyes will be unusually bright, and he is as clear as water and cannot compare to ......!" ”
The ghost old man smiled: "Are you scared?" ”
"To tell you the truth, I was just admiring at first, not afraid." Chu Huan sighed: "I didn't doubt you at first, as a ghost elder of the ghost side, it is not impossible to cultivate in order to attain. ”
"Oh?" The ghost old man's eyes rolled, as if he was thinking about what Chu Huan meant.
Chu Huan looked up at the ghost elder, and said slowly: "Actually, the government has not thought about eradicating the ghost party at all, I came to Daqimeng Mountain this time, firstly, to settle the ghost party, and secondly, I did ask the ghost elder about the Buddhist scriptures ......!" ”
The ghost elder frowned and said, "Then you're just lying to me?" ”
"If you're a ghost elder, of course I won't lie to you." Chu Huan sneered: "It's a pity...... You're not really a ghost elder! ”
The ghost old man's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he sneered: "I'm not a ghost elder, are you?" ”
"Of course I'm not." Chu Huan said: "Do you know that the scripture I asked you to translate really really wanted to teach you, but it's a pity...... You have too bad a mind and deceived me from the beginning, which is why you leaked yourself! ”
"Deception?"
"You claim that sentence translates to mean that the morning sun crosses the mountains and all things shine?" Chu Huan sighed, "But not long ago, I casually said a sentence in front of Hexigu, and Hexigu heard this sentence, and there are words like heart and change in it...... But your translation has not touched even one. ”
The ghost elder sighed, "Is Hexi Valley more proficient in the languages of the Western Regions than I am?" Perhaps he made a mistake in translation, but I don't know. ”
"I thought so too, so I asked Hexi Valley if he had come to Chaowu Peak every year for the twenty-seven years since he became the ghost master." Chu Huan said helplessly: "Actually, how do I know how many years Hexigu has been a ghost master, twenty-seven years, but it's just a mouthful, I don't know, but the real ghost old man naturally knows how many years Hexigu has been a ghost master, Your Excellency admits that Hexigu has been a ghost master for twenty-seven years, and I will come every year, can it be that I am a god operator, and I will be allowed to say it casually?" ”
The corners of the ghost elder's eyes twitched, but he still said lightly: "Maybe you really say it." ”
"If you happen once, it may be possible, but if you happen twice, it's a big problem." Chu Huan stared at the ghost elder's eyes, "To be honest, since then, I have been a little scared of you." ”
"Oh?"
"I know that your martial arts are not weak, but I don't know anything about your martial arts path." Chu Huan smiled bitterly: "It is very likely that my martial arts are far inferior to yours, and I am not as familiar with Chaowu Peak as you, if I can't deal with it carefully, I am afraid that I will become a prisoner of your subordinates, this is ...... Certainly not what I want to see. ”
The ghost old man smiled and said: "You are at least an honest person, you know that your martial arts are not as good as mine, this is self-knowledge."
Chu Huan bowed his head and said: "Actually, the biggest advantage of me is that I am self-aware, so I can only lie to you, saying that I have already applied poison here, and it is a terrifying corpse insect poison ......!" He shook his head and sighed: "Actually, I don't know if there is a corpse insect poison in this world, even if there is, I have never seen it, I will show you, of course, it will not be a corpse worm!" ”
The old ghost was originally smiling, but at this time, his body was already shocked, and his eyes showed surprise.
