Chapter Seventy-Two: Poppies
"Little girl, thank you for saving your life......"
"Mrs. Qi, please get up quickly, it is not enough to raise your hands. ”
"It's a gesture for an adult, but it's a blessing for a little girl. ”
"Mrs. Qi is serious, please come into the house and speak. ”
"No, my lord, in addition to coming to thank my lord, the little woman is also here to say goodbye to my lord. ”
"Mrs. Qi is going back to Qinglian Gate?"
"There is no place for me in Qinglian Gate, and I plan to go back to Suzhou City. The little girl's maiden home is in Suzhou, and when the adults return to Suzhou City, they will invite them to come to Wu's house as a guest......"
"Suzhou Wu family, are you a family member of the super-rich Wu Yuan?"
"Wu Qifu is my father!" Mrs. Qi smiled slightly, and silently looked back at the Qinglian Gate in the distance, "When I was a child, I admired those great heroes who acted chivalrous and righteous. Once, I went to my grandmother's house to save my relatives, and I was kidnapped by thieves on the way.
My husband happened to pass by and rescued me. After that, I followed my husband. Even if my father and mother obstruct it, I have no regrets. It wasn't until after marriage that I gradually understood that the world of rivers and lakes is not so beautiful and not so romantic.
Fortunately, my husband has always loved me, and I have been able to live a life of fine clothes and food for so many years. Now that my husband is gone, it's time for me to get out of the rivers and lakes. ”
"Perhaps, rivers and lakes are not for everyone. Each has its own suffering, so since this is the case, Mrs. Qi should take care. ”
"Be careful, adults!"
Seeing Mrs. Qi leave, Lu Sheng turned his head to look at Lu Li, who was shrinking his head by the wall, "Did you hear it too? When I really became a Jianghu person, I regretted it, and I was still comfortable with the brocade clothes and jade food I had before. You, it's better to be an honest lady. ”
"No!" Lu Li pouted and walked out, "I'm different from her, she was originally a young lady and didn't know martial arts......"
"You're also a daughter now. Lu Sheng smiled slightly, "Look at it, although the clothes on your body look simple, they are silk after all, right? Can you still adapt to the coarse linen clothes you used to wear? Walking in the rivers and lakes, eating and sleeping in the open, can you stand it? From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift! Lu Jian, come here." ”
As soon as Lu Jian appeared, he heard Lu Sheng's call, and hurriedly strode forward, "My lord, are you looking for me?"
"Where are the herbs from Jingyangmen picked?"
"There are all in the back mountains. ”
"Has your master planted any flowers somewhere before?"
Lu Jian thought for a moment and recalled the kind of plant that Lu Sheng described yesterday, "My lord, are you looking for the kind of poisonous flower you said yesterday? I remember seeing it before." ”
"Where?"
"South of Tower Hill! I'll take you there. ”
Coincidentally, the major leaders are also coming. As Lu Sheng expected, the major leaders didn't sleep well last night, and they all looked listless.
"Lord Lu, where are you going?"
"Go find the poisonous weed that refines the poison of the dove. ”
"Really, go together, go together!"
"Even if you don't come, I'll go and ask you. Ladies and gentlemen, how do you feel? Can you do it with someone now?" Lu Sheng asked with a smile.
"What, Lord Lu, is this going to fight the Netherworld Ghost King?" Seeing that Lu Sheng's expression didn't seem to be joking, Mei Qihua's face suddenly became solemn.
Although the performance is free and easy, after all, there is an unknown poison in the body. I couldn't sleep last night tossing and turning. The feeling of poisonous hair is like thousands of ants climbing in my heart. It's really painful.
"The Netherworld Ghost King has the poison of the Dove in his body, and it has been decades. He is different from you, you are still lightly poisoned, and you can resist this poison severely, while the Nether Ghost King can't quit.
Ever since the Nether Ghost King fled, he had never looked for the Crane Aries. There are only two kinds of results, one is that he is dead, and the other is that he no longer needs the poison of the dove. ”
"You mean...... Mei Qihua and the others instantly understood. To say that the Nether Ghost King is dead is absolutely impossible. He's going to die, how can there be so much going on?
But if there is no need for the crane and white sheep to provide the poison of the dove, it must be that the ghost king has obtained the poison of the dove, and the hiding place of the ghost king is self-evident.
Lu Jian only had a general impression, after all, it was too long ago and it was still a chance meeting. The group followed Lu Jian to the foot of the first mountain.
There are five peaks in the Jingyangmen range, and there is a reason why the ancestors of Jingyangmen put the Shimen in the second and not the first. It's not that the first one has a bad geographical location, but the second peak, so that there are conditions for building a mountain gate.
The first mountain is a bare rocky peak, with a few weeds growing among the rocks. Barrenness is secondary, and the main thing is that this mountain peak is particularly steep.
Only one side has a slope, and the other three sides are several vertical cliffs. And the whole mountain peak is like a pagoda, and when it reaches a height of 100 zhang, there are protrusions like mushroom umbrellas.
"This mountain is a pagoda, so it is called Tafeng, and it is full of rocks and weeds, which is not suitable for trees to grow, let alone for growing crops. However, it is rich in stones, and most of the stones in Suzhou City are transported from here.
It's just that the stone here doesn't know how many years it has been mined, and gradually, the stone on three sides has been almost moved, and if it is mined again, I am afraid that Tashan will collapse.
Later, after it was bought by Jingyangmen, no one came to mine the stone again. When we were younger, we used to come here to play hide and seek. Later, as I grew up, I wasn't as playful as I used to be.
I remember seeing the kind of beautiful flowers that adults said when I was a child. It's May now, and that kind of flower should be blooming. ”
"You mean this flower grows at the foot of the mountain?" Lu Sheng asked suspiciously.
"yes, Tower Hill is steep, and we couldn't climb it when we were kids. Lu Jian raised his head curiously and looked at the towering peak, "Even now, I can't climb to the top of the mountain." ”
"It's too!" Lu Sheng looked at the steep tower mountain, if there was no rope, even if the peak of the day after tomorrow was difficult to reach with light skills.
Of course, this level of precipitousness is just like that in Lu Sheng's eyes.
The pinnacle of Ling Bo micro-step, even on the cliff can walk on the ground.
Tower Hill is not big from a distance, but when you get to the bottom of the mountain, you find that the area is still not small, and it takes a lot of time to walk along the foot of the mountain. Lu Jian came here to play when he was a child, but the time was too far away to remember the specific direction.
"My lord, there it is!" Suddenly, Lu Jian exclaimed excitedly.
Lu Sheng hurriedly looked, and sure enough, at a gap position, a bright flower bush was bathed in sunlight. Under the sun, the flowers are purple and red.
When Lu Sheng saw these flowers, there was a happy expression on his face.
Slowly stepped forward, reaching out to caress these delicate flowers. But Lu Sheng's action scared Mei Qihua and his party a lot.
"Lord Lu, be careful, this is a poisonous flower!"
"Lord Lu, don't touch it, I heard that the more colorful things are, the more poisonous they are. This flower is so bewitching, it must be a highly poisonous thing. ”
"Don't be alarmed, this flower is called the poppy, and it is the poison that refines the doves among you. I had a guess when I saw the appearance of your poison hair. But after all, the names are different, and I dare not determine. Now that I see this flower, I feel relieved. ”
"Relieved?Could it be that this poison is not very powerful and it is not a big deal?" asked Mei Qihua expectantly.
"This poison is poison, but it is not poison. I would classify it as a drug. The ordinary poison in your mouth is all violent, and you will either die after taking it, or it will harm your body and mind. But this poison is not, it is like sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently.
But the harm of this poison is still greater than that of those who see blood and seal their throats. Ordinary poison is nothing more than our lives, but this poison can destroy our minds.
Once you get this poison, you will be addicted. As soon as you get rid of it, you will be as miserable as you were when you were poisoned. Only by taking this poison again can it be relieved.
However, every time you take it, the toxicity will increase by a point, until the poisoned person's qi, blood, body and mind are exhausted, and then the tea and rice are not thought, and they are as thin as firewood, and they die in wailing. ”
"Shhhh
The sound of inhaling cold air sounded, and the faces of all the leaders changed greatly.
"Such a vicious ......"
"It's so vicious!" Lu Sheng admonished solemnly, and pointed to his sword and waved it lightly. A sword qi skimmed, and a cluster of poppies in front of him was instantly cut off by the sword qi.
"Lord Lu, we have the poison of the dove in our bodies, so we ...... What should I do?"
"It's okay if you're not poisoned. This toxic characteristic, each time the poison occurs, it needs to be taken again to be relieved. But every time you take it, it is deeply poisonous. And vice versa, every time you have a poison, if you can resist it, you can't eat it. Once it has passed, the toxicity will diminish by one layer.
If you are not deeply poisoned, you can only get rid of it in one month, so there is no need to worry. ”
"Is what Lord Lu said true?" asked Master Qiu with a panicked face.
"If I want to talk about other poisons, I may say something wrong, but when it comes to the poison of this poppy, I will never be wrong. ”
"That's good, now that the poisonous flower has been removed, there is no such harmful thing in the world......" Mei Qihua smiled happily.
"There are still many poisonous flowers, how can they have been eliminated? Lu Sheng smiled and took two steps back.
"I concluded that the seed had fallen from a high place to blossom and bear fruit here. Where the crane and white sheep really planted the poisonous flower...... At the top of this mountain. ”
"The top of the mountain?" Mei Qihua raised his head and glanced at the strangely shaped Tower Mountain, "Yes, only at the top of this mountain can people not be noticed." Such a steep mountain can only be climbed by those with high martial arts. ”
"Fellow Daoists, it is very likely that the hiding place of the Nether Ghost King is up there, and there will be a fierce battle after a while. I opened the way ahead of Lord Lu, and you followed closely.
Once you encounter the Netherworld Ghost King, you will immediately block the surrounding roads, and with Lord Lu's Dou Zhuan Xing Shift to restrain the Reincarnation Heavenly Tomb, we will win!"
Mei Qihua didn't have many proud words, nor did he have any uplifting tone. But as soon as this sentence was spoken, all the martial arts heroes were excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
The murderous name of the Netherworld Ghost King is no longer useful in the hearts of everyone. After all, Lu Sheng's previous scene of breaking the reincarnation tomb made them feel very relieved.
Lu Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart, do you want to tell them that once the experience card is over, the stars and the stars no longer exist?
However, Lu Sheng didn't have much worry in his heart. Although there is no change in the stars, there is still a big shift. Although you can't return the other body in the other way, you can still restrain the reincarnation of the Heavenly Tomb to some extent.
