Prince Bo's Palace.

After saying goodbye to the head of the Tang family, Master Xin, the man wearing the pig-face mask, walked to the prince's bedchamber with ease, and the guards and servants were busy saluting him along the way. The prince once commanded: Master Xin's order is the prince's order, and anyone must follow it. Although no one knows what Master Xin's background is, he only needs to know that he is the big celebrity in front of the prince.

Pushing the door in, Master Xin came to the couch and called softly, "Lord Wang." ”

"Master Xin......" The person lying on his back on the couch groaned and raised his hand tremblingly, and Master Xin hurriedly held it. Am I going to die? ”

"The prince is too worried, the head of the Tang family is about to finish, you just need to rest in peace."

The kind words were relieved for a while, and when the prince fell asleep, Master Xin left silently and returned to his room. There were already two people in the room, one of them was wearing a monkey mask, and the other was thin and had a cruel look in his eyes.

"Congratulations, junior brother, you have made great progress in your Taoism, and you have been able to turn over the clouds and rain, if the master knows about this, he will be very relieved." Master Ding was meditating on the futon, and when he saw his junior brother coming in, he dispersed.

Master Xin sat on another futon and laughed: "Senior brother, don't kill me, how can manpower interfere with the celestial phenomena?" Covering the palace with rain for a quarter of an hour is already my limit. Senior brother, it is rumored that the Baiyunzi Road Arc has been hanging in the clouds in Anding City for three days, but it is exaggerated? ”

"I don't know. If he is really like this, he is afraid that he is only half a step away from the realm of real people. Speaking of the arc, Master Ding couldn't help but sigh: "Why did he want to break through?" Isn't the immortal life that everyone admires less important than his friends? ”

"Senior brother, don't worry, if he comes to Liangzhou, with the strength of you and me, it is not without a chance of winning."

"This matter will be discussed again. How is it? Can the Tang Sect see the flaws? ”

"It's hard to say, although he has always doubted me, but there is no real evidence, but I don't need to completely deceive him, he just needs to notice the Sanmiao Sect."

"'Procrastination', well, you have to figure it slowly, and you must not rush forward. The Sanmiao Sect has committed such a major event, and it has made an enmity with the Tang Sect, so as not to lose the soldiers and generals, and with a little persuasion, it can be used by the master; The Tang Sect was originally suspicious of you, and at this time, he had to waste his energy on the Sanmiao Sect; Prince Bo is terminally ill and trusts you very much - this plan of killing three birds with one stone is extremely genius, and a foolish brother is not as good as it. ”

"Haha, senior brother praised." Master Xin's voice was brisk, and it was obvious that his senior brother's praise made him very useful. He suddenly lowered his voice: "Senior brother, do you have any instructions for the prince, the master?" ”

Master Ding sighed: "Senior brother, didn't you have compassion for Prince Bo?" ”

"This, no, never ......"

Seeing that Master Xin was hesitant, Master Ding said earnestly: "Senior brother, how important it is for the master to respect the great cause of the future, you know, we must not miss a big thing because of our own selfishness!" ”

Master Xin bowed his head: "Senior brother has admonished him. ”

"Ugh." Master Ding's voice turned softened, and he held Master Xin's hands: "Everything is subject to the instructions of the master, but you can rest assured, although the master cares about the world, he is not hard-hearted, and he will not let you be contaminated with too much cause and effect." Brother Fool is not mean to you, but Brother Fool has been trembling every day since accepting the task, fearing that he will become a sinner for the ages. ”

"What did the senior brother say, how can I not distinguish between good and bad people? I know the priorities in my heart, and I dare not mistake the master for big things! Although Prince Bo has a deep heart for me, how can he compare to the grace of his master for many years of nurturing? ”

Fang Feng has been standing next to him, smashing his mouth, and has no intention of participating in the conversation (of course, the two of them are not allowed to interject). He's so hungry and wants to eat people.

————————————————————————————————————

"The head of the house is back!"

A loud shout woke Tu Shi from his false sleep. Outside the car window, various voices sounded: "How is the head of the family?" "I've seen the head of the house!" "Quick, girl, kowtow to the master of the house! I wish the head of the family a long life! ”

He couldn't help but open the curtain, and saw that the car seemed to be driving into the town, and the men, women, and children on both sides of the road put down what they were doing and said hello to the old man in the car. These people have loose muscles and no posture, and they don't seem to know martial arts. Facing the crowd, the accompanying Tang Sect disciples smiled and nodded in greeting, just looking at this style, who believes that they are masters of hurting people with hidden arrows?

The old man still closed his eyes: "Oh, we're home." ”

"Home?" Tu Shi was puzzled: "Here...... Is it Tangmen Fort? ”

Tangmen Fort is the base of the Tang Gate, after hundreds of years of operation, it has become a small city, attracting many people with foreign surnames who do not know martial arts at all to live or work here, and the Tang Gate is responsible for management; Because of this, the head of the Tang Gate is the emperor of the soil here, and the emperor of the earth is back to the palace, and it is natural for people to come to see him. Tangmen Fort combines the architectural style of ethnic minorities, the house is mostly made of bamboo and wood tiles, walls, and wasabi and vine are planted next to the house, which is green and pleasing to the eye.

The carriage stopped slowly, the old man got out of the car first, and Tu Shi took a look at it, and there were already two strong men carrying a bamboo sedan chair waiting. The old man who transferred to the sedan chair yawned and said, "Keep up, don't get lost, the next road is full of organs, and if you run around, you will die ugly." ”

Tu Shi rolled his eyes and followed silently, while curiously looking at the inside of this mysterious Tangmen Fort.

A bamboo wall separates the Tang people from the people with foreign surnames, and the buildings in the wall have eaves and columns, and there are statues of divine beasts on the roof ridges to ward off evil spirits, which is already an authentic Han style. There are two kinds of people who come and go on the road, one is mostly middle-aged, wearing a long shirt, looking like a shopkeeper (such as the middle-aged man who reported to the old man in the palace before), this kind of call is worshipped, the martial arts are strong, and they basically don't shoot; A kind of mostly young people, clothes and pants that are conducive to action, wearing deerskin gloves, they are the living force of the Tang Sect, and Sweet Honey should belong to the best among them. The Tang family rules are strict, and young children are not allowed to go out easily, and if they do, they must be under the leadership of the worship. Tu Shi once asked Master Zuo: The Tang Sect is also a family of rivers and lakes, why are you so cautious? Master Zuo replied: Tang Men has done too much dirty work, which has caused a lot of enemies, if there is no old hen to protect it, the chicks are guaranteed to go out one to die, and two to die a pair.

Tu Shi looked around unscrupulously and silently noted down the route, which was his habit when playing RPG games, and by memorizing the signs, he would not take the wrong path in the maze. Soon, he came to a passage.

The old man got out of the sedan chair, moved his muscles and bones, and strode into the passage, Tu Shi hurriedly followed, but the idlers did not dare to follow. The walls of the passage are made of mottled stone bricks with holes in the walls, reminiscent of the ancient mechanism in adventure movies that shoot hidden arrows.

"If you can see the mechanism, then it is not a mechanism, go boldly." The old man's pace did not decrease.

At the top of the passage is a vast blue sky, and at the bottom is a rough and overgrown brick and stone road, which makes you feel like you have come to a ruin far away from the crowds. Looking at the back of the old man in front of him, listening to the wind and birds, Tu Shi was inexplicably a little sad.

Standing at the exit of the passage, I saw a flower field surrounded by a fence and could not be seen, and there was only a small wooden house and a small well on the edge of the field. The old man walked to the well, rolled up his sleeves and began to turn the wheel: "Come in, I live alone, you are free." ”

"Whoa...... This is where you live? "It's unbelievable that the head of the Tang Sect family lives in such a shabby place, which is in stark contrast to what he has seen and heard since entering the Tang Gate Fort.

Tu Shi looked at the flower field again. From afar, there is a fragrance coming, and the flowers are even more colorful and tempting. As soon as he had the idea of going into the field to take a look, the old man shouted, "Oh, by the way, you can do whatever you want, but don't go into the field, or you will be poisoned." ”

What the?! Tu Shi was startled, and hurriedly picked up the [Cangtong] to look, only to see all kinds of poisonous insects in the flowers hunting each other, and the beautiful flowers formed a huge contrast with the cruel fighting, making him goosebumps from the soles of his feet to the back of his head. The roots of the fence are covered with a thick layer of realgar, and the insects are like prisoners and have to survive within the realgar circle.

This...... This is like Gu refining.

Tu Shi remembered the public case that Yan Shan talked about - "The systems of the two sides are completely different, so the well water does not interfere with the river water, until many years ago, the Tang Sect began to study Gu", and cold sweat flowed down. The Tang Sect is really studying Gu, this flower field is the captive breeding ground of Gu worms, and it must also be the important land of the Tang Sect, isn't it natural for the head of the Tang Sect to choose to live here!

He looked back at the simple cabin and thought deeply. What kind of burrow is this, it's obviously a holy place for poison players!

So, what is the plan of this family master to bring himself to the important land of the Tang Sect?

"You attacked the palace with the Sanmiao Sect, you should have heard about the prince's serious illness, right?" The old man walked into the hut with a bucket of water.

Tu Shi followed: "That's right. He was apprehensive, but decided not to betray him no matter what.

The hut was also very simple, with a long table full of utensils and shelves against the wall lined with well-sealed jars. Without asking, it can be known that the head of the Tang family is here to toss poison on weekdays.

The old man boiled water to prepare tea: "The prince is poisoned." This poison is weird...... It is not harmful to the human body by itself. Or rather, it's a matter of dosage. The doctors were helpless, because where did they think that water could poison people? ”

"Water poisoning?" Tu Shi was surprised.

The biology teacher said that the human body is a dynamically stable system inside. If there is not enough water, people will be thirsty, prompting people to take the initiative to drink water; Once you have too much water, you need to sweat and urinate to get the water back to your set level. As water is expelled, the electrolytes dilute and the cells absorb water and then edema, eventually leading to weakness in the body...... If memory serves, it should be like this. The teacher also said at the time that talking about toxicity aside from the dose is a hooligan, and even if it is the water and oxygen that we rely on for survival, too much intake is not necessarily a good thing.

"But under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a person to be poisoned by water. A large amount of fresh water is condensed in an incredible way, and then enters the body of the prince, this is the truth of the miasma, but as far as I know, there is no miasma in Liangzhou that is of this nature. It has a Taoist saying called 'Kwai Water Essence', which is a theoretical type of water that can only be generated by Taoism. ”

The old man took out a bottle, Tu Shi's eyes were sharp, and he recognized that it was the one who had just been handed over by the worship. Uncork the bottle, and a cool air of water hits your face.

"It's such a coincidence, this rain contains a small amount of sunflower water essence, and someone uses sunflower water to rain." The head of the Tang family stared at Tu Shi's eyes: "Tell me, is there an internal response in the palace?" ”
