Chapter Thirty-Six: Bloody Orchid

The holding of the drug tasting conference has attracted the attention of most countries in the entire eastern territory, and many countries have sent envoys to participate in the conference. Their purpose is to take this opportunity to recruit excellent medicine wizards for the country, especially the winners of the conference will be tried to win over by the envoys of various countries, but not all countries are like this.

After all, not all countries within the continent are interested in refining medicine. Pills, indeed can improve people's strength, speed up cultivation, but this is limited to the early stage of cultivation, and with the deepening of cultivation, strength, the drug's effect on the strength of the countryman will gradually decrease, and it is a three-point poison, if you take too much pills, it will be harmful to the body, so the cultivation to a certain extent of the countryman will no longer take pills casually; 。

However, after all, there are only a few strong people, and there are only a handful of big countries, so the drug tasting conference is still attracting attention and is extremely popular.

Yang Ming and others turned into a back alley under the guidance of Su Buying's sedan chair, which was far away from the downtown area, and the deeper the alley, the quieter it became.

"Listen to the wind in the mountains. Yang Ming read the plaque of the inn in a low voice, and when he looked around, he understood the meaning of this sentence, the inn was built on the mountain, and behind it was the verdant mountains, and occasionally the wind blew through the mountains, which was refreshing. Located in the northernmost part of the city, away from the downtown area, this inn is elegant and chic, and is specially designed to welcome VIPs. Originally, with Yang Ming, they would never be able to afford to live in this kind of inn, but it was Su Buying, the young master of Wuxian City, who guided them.

As soon as Su Buying stepped off the sedan chair, the shopkeeper of the inn trotted out to greet her.

"Miss Buying, if you have any instructions to send someone to pass on a message, why did you come here in person. The shopkeeper greeted a smiling face and said respectfully to Su Buying.

"I have a couple of friends who want to stay here until the end of the conference. You clean up the green bamboo courtyard and let them stay, remember to be good at hospitality, not sloppy, and all accommodations are recorded in my account. Su Buying commanded.

Yang Ming heard Su Buying's arrangement and wanted to excuse himself, but before the words could be spoken, Su Buying saw through it, so he took the first step and said,

"We are all from the same academy, you come to Wuxian City, I must do my best to be a landlord, and you can rest assured that you can stay. It's very quiet and you can have a good rest. ”

"Since Miss Buying is so gracious, we might as well be respectful. Wu Jian was very happy to accept it, but Yang Ming was a little worried, if Su Buying and Zhu Hai were accomplices, this inn might be a trap. Wu Jian patted his little head and whispered, "Little fool, why don't you live in the land you eat for nothing." ”

Yang Ming had no choice but to nod.

"Miss Buying, the medicine tasting conference will be held tomorrow, I don't know what I need to prepare, and where will the conference be held?" Que Qing stepped forward and asked, at this time he couldn't wait for tomorrow's conference.

"Don't worry, you just need to prepare the pills for the meeting, tomorrow the conference will be held in the center of the city, the venue has been set up there, tomorrow morning, I will send someone to pick you up for the meeting, you can rest assured tonight." Su Buying said with a smile, everything was arranged by her just right, and no one could find anything wrong.

"Okay, it's late, and I have to pay my father-in-law when I go back, so I'll take my leave first. After nodding to Yang Ming and the others one by one, Su Buying got on the sedan chair and left.

Looking at the sedan chair in the distance, Yang Ming had mixed feelings in his heart, he knew that Zhu Hai was in the sedan chair, but he could only look at the other party and leave like this.

"She's such a nice person. Que Qing couldn't help but sigh.

Yang Ming glanced at Que Qing and let out a long sigh, he really didn't know how to explain it.

The shopkeeper led Yang Ming and them into the inn, not so much an inn, but rather like the courtyard of the rich and noble, through the hall, they came to the inner courtyard, the yard is very wide, the blue lake and green water, the rockery and green trees have everything, the courtyard is a different courtyard, the shopkeeper led Yang Ming and others along the stone path, this path seems to be unfinished, from the outside, it is impossible to see that the scale of this inn is so large, as if it is shuttling back and forth in the corridor of nine songs, and it is impossible to distinguish between east and west, north and south.

Finally, the shopkeeper stopped in front of an elegant courtyard, and looked at the stone wall next to the courtyard gate with the word "green bamboo" written on it, which must be the green bamboo courtyard.

There are three rooms in the Green Bamboo Temple, and a few people rest in the central room first.

"Let's rest for the time being, and I'll have someone bring you dinner. After the shopkeeper finished arranging, he said to Yang Ming: "If there are no other instructions, I will go down first." ”

"Remember to have good wine. Wu Jian finally gave a special admonition, and let the shopkeeper retreat.

At this time, Yang Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes, just as he looked at Wu Jian, he didn't expect Wu Jian to suddenly fall on the bed with a painful face.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Yang Ming and the others were frightened by Wu Jian's sudden appearance, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Don't scream, don't alarm the others. Wu Jian endured the pain and said, but his patience had reached the limit, and he saw beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, and in an instant his face became as white as paper, without blood.

Yang Ming glanced out the window, and after confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he asked, "Is it because I received Zhu Hai's palm before?"

Wu Jian was attacked by Zhu Hai before and received a slap, at that time Wu Jian said that his breath was just unstable, Yang Ming felt that things were not so simple, and now it seems that Wu Jian is really just forbearing.

Among several people, only Que Qing was a medicine wizard, and he hurriedly checked Wu Jian's pulse. When he touched Wu Jian's pulse, Que Qing's face changed greatly, his brows furrowed, and in order to confirm his condition, Que Qing ripped open the collar in front of Wu Jian's chest and checked the injured part.

When the clothes were lifted, several people were shocked,

A green spore actually grew on the flesh of Wu Jian's chest, and around the spores, it was covered with scarlet blood, with the spores as the center, like the complex roots of plants.

Que Qing was obviously even more shocked, he stared at the spores, his breathing was rapid and muddy because of nervousness, as a medicine wizard, he naturally recognized what it was, but he had only heard about it from the book, and had never seen it with his own eyes,

"This is the blood born orchid, and it is a six-flavor elixir. Que Qing took a breath and said heavily, "This is a poison that kills people." ”

Hearing the word poison, the hearts of the teenagers suddenly sank into a cold trough, and Yang Ming asked anxiously: "What kind of poison is Xueshenglan, do you have a way to cure this poison?"

Que Qing shook his head regretfully and said: "Blood Shenglan, it is very simple to say that it can cure this poison, and it is very difficult to say that it cannot be solved, the key lies in the location of the poison. The Bloody Orchid is a specially refined seed, which can parasitize the human body and grow by sucking human blood, when the Bloody Orchid is planted in the human body, until it blooms, the whole growth process is enough to suck the host's blood dry and die. Once the blood orchid is implanted in the human body, the moment it comes into contact with the blood, the seed will take root, and its root system will spread throughout the implanted site in just a few seconds, and it cannot be completely removed at all, as long as the root is still there, it will not stop growing, so the only way to detoxify is to cut off the root part of the blood orchid, but the place where Wu Jian planted the blood orchid is the heart, if the heart is removed, it will also die......"

After listening to Que Qing's words, the room instantly fell into death-like silence, and Wu Jian understood Zhu Hai's last words, Zhu Hai used the palm wind to implant the seeds of the blood orchid into Wu Jian's chest, because Zhu Hai knew that the only way to detoxify was to remove the implanted part, this one way. That's why he said, "You're dead."

Either wait for the blood to bloom and the blood will be sucked up and die, or the heart will be stripped and died. Either way, it's certain death.

"Mr. Que Qing, how long will it take for the blood orchid to bloom?" After a long time, Yang Ming raised the most serious question.

Que Qing shook his head again, and he said in a trembling tone: "No one knows how long it will take for the flowers to bloom, because all those who have planted the Blood Orchid, without exception, have all chosen to commit suicide. ”

"Why?"

"Because I can't stand the pain of the blood orchid taking root in my body. Que Qing trembled as if empathetic and said, "Think about it, the seed takes root and grows in your own flesh and blood, and this pain is like thousands of insects eating your own flesh and blood, this is a heart-piercing pain." ”

Que Qing looked at Wu Jian again, as if looking up at a statue of a god, his face was full of incredulity, "Mr. Wu Jian has been able to endure such pain until now, you are really a god." ”

Thinking that Wu Jian was so calm and relaxed along the way, but secretly he was enduring such heart-wrenching pain, thinking of this, Yang Ming couldn't help but be in awe, he had never admired a person so much, but now, Yang Ming admired Wu Jian from the bottom of his heart.

"By the way, aren't there many famous medicine wizards gathered here? we can go and ask them, maybe they will have a way? we can also go to An Shice, he is well-informed, he must ......" Xin'er proposed in a voice with a little sobbing, she didn't want Wu Jian to die like this, the girl had been immersed in shock and worry just now, a delicate little face was completely shrouded in the shadow of horror, she tried her best to do something. When Lin Dong heard Xin'er's words, he also echoed it,

"Yes, yes, there must be a way to save my uncle. Uncle is a good person, and the old man often says that a good person is blessed. ”

"No, you must not let anyone know about my situation. Wu Jian held a breath and instructed.

"Why?"

Helplessly, Yang Ming explained to several people that he suspected Zhu Hai of hiding in Su Buying's sedan chair.

Hearing this, Xin'er, Lin Dong, and Que Qing all looked at each other, and they even wondered if their ears had heard it wrong.

"It's not a joke, is it?, then we're still coming to Wuxian City, aren't we sending it to the door ourselves?" Lin Dong asked in disbelief.

At this time, Yang Ming also turned his inquiring gaze to Wu Jian. Wu Jian's face became more and more ugly, and every minute that passed, he had to endure the pain of tearing his heart and bones, and he slowed down for a long time before saying,

"This is also a helpless move, the dozen or so guards brought by Su Buying are not ordinary people, they are all strong people at the Yueyao level, if we had exposed her face at that time and tore her face, Su Buying would definitely directly order the guards to seize the medicine, I don't have the strength to fight against a dozen strong people, we will definitely die on the spot." ”

"I see, but we're in Witchham, and they're going to do it at any time, maybe they'll do it tonight. Xin'er said worriedly.

"Since Su Buying invited us back, she won't do it rashly. Moreover, if the outside world knows that the organizer of the drug tasting conference, An Shice, actually hired murderers to seize medicine behind his back, once this matter spreads, An Shice will no longer have a place on the mainland, and will even become the target of crusade by various countries. So, now the other side is more anxious than us. Wu Jian analyzed.

Yang Ming nodded thoughtfully, "Moreover, at the beginning of the medicine tasting conference, An Shice promised the world that anyone who entered Wuxian City, Wuxian City would ensure their safety, although hundreds of people died at each medicine tasting conference, but these people died on the way to Wuxian City, no one has ever been killed in Wuxian City, in order to maintain the reputation of Wuxian City, maybe An Shice will protect our safety." ”

"I really didn't expect that An Shice turned out to be the mastermind behind the murder and drug grabbing, and I hurt you. At this time, Que Qing suddenly slammed down, faced everyone, knelt on the ground, he wept and said solemnly: "For people like me, I am really ashamed of you for falling into such a dangerous situation." ”

"Life and death are fate, this is also my own choice, Mr. Que Qing, you don't have to blame yourself. Wu Jian couldn't bear to see Que Qing blame himself so much, so he comforted.

"Uncle is right, we have been on an errand to escort you, we are already mentally prepared, no matter whether we live or die, we will not regret it. The teenagers looked at each other and said affirmatively.

"The conference will be held tomorrow, as long as it is past tonight......" Yang Ming clenched his fists, and there was a firm gaze between the young man's eyebrows, no matter what happened, he had to protect Mr. Que Qing to survive tonight.

"Yes, you can't be careless tonight. ”

At this time, the sound of people walking outside the house was heard, and it was the next person who brought dinner.

Hearing the voice, Wu Jian immediately sat up from the bed, his face changed to his usual calmness, and said, "Okay, don't care about what happens tonight, when people should eat, they have to eat." ”

After speaking, his hand reached for the wine bottle on the table, and then drank it in a big gulp, "It's worthy of Wuxian City, it's really good wine, hahaha." ”
