Ah Qiu heard Shen Shu's question, and hesitated for a moment-

Standing up from the ground, he took a torch in the corner, motioned for Shen Shu to follow, and walked towards a fork in the secret passage.

Shen Shu followed behind him and descended a long staircase to the hinterland of the entire mountain.

It was a dry cave, empty of anything, and the surrounding stone walls and ground were polished and smooth.

A desolate aura, mixed with a little medicinal fragrance, rushed into the tip of Shen Shu's nose.

Let her heart become extraordinarily peaceful.

Ah Qiu took her to the side of the mountain wall and illuminated the mountain wall with firelight.

At this very moment-

Shen Shu saw lifelike murals carved on the flat mountain walls with unknown pigments.

These murals seem to be very old, with simple lines and mottled paint.

The people on the mural are also dressed very simply, more like the clothes worn by the previous dynasty or the ancients who lived a long time ago.

The murals range from simple to complex, recording the rise and fall of the Yaowang Valley.

Shen Shu walked around the cave from the position of Ah Qiu's finger, and finally had a general understanding of the origin of the Medicine King Valley.

Hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of the Medicine King Valley led the people out of the customs and settled in the Medicine King Valley to reproduce.

Because the forest is surrounded by rolling mountains, jungles and swamps, the climate is hot and humid, and the environment is extremely treacherous.

The ancestors of the Medicine King Valley were proficient in medical skills, emulating Shennong to taste all kinds of herbs and specialize in the method of detoxification. He also spared no effort to lead his clansmen to widely plant herbs in the north of the Suoguan Forest.

Over the years, Yaowang Valley has gradually won the worship of the aborigines of the northern tribes in the Suoguan Forest with its medical skills of resurrecting the dead.

Later, the descendants of Yaowang Valley gathered various tribes outside the Guanguan and established the Kingdom of Dajiang north of Changqing Mountain.

With the reproduction of generation after generation, the vast and uninhabited jungle wetlands north of the lock forest have been gradually reclaimed and grazing.

Dense forests have been cut down, vegetation has been degraded, and poisonous miasma has disappeared.

The DJI royal family and nobles are getting weaker and weaker.

And many tribes outside the gate are already savage people, and without the restraint of the poisonous miasma, they gradually give birth to different hearts.

Like many dynasties in history, DJI went through numerous civil strife and eventually fell apart.

The heirs of the DJI royal family withered, leaving only the Medicine King Valley to live in......

At the end of the mural, a thin descendant of the royal family is depicted, kneeling in front of the altar and praying sincerely, which comes to an abrupt end.

This is the history of the rise and fall of a royal family, but Shen Shu is suspicious: "Look at the clothes of these people, it has been a long time ago, there is no origin of the bat bird on it, what is the matter with the bat bird and the poisonous slave?" ”

Ah Qiu made a "please" gesture, walked out of the secret passage from another way, and came to the valley.

The valley was scorching hot because of the fires.

Not only that, but from the burnt loess, there is also a faint pungent smell.

This smell was extremely similar to the poisonous miasma, and when Shen Shu first heard it, he had already asked the shadow guards to retreat outside the valley and wait.

Yes, in the huge valley, there are only two people left, her and Ah Qiu.

Ah Qiu took Shen Shu and walked into the secret passage in the middle of the Medicine King Valley, where the poisonous slaves had been hiding before.

As you descend the steps, your vision suddenly widens, and at a cursory glance, you can see that this is actually a very large inner sanctum.

Perhaps it was caused by the fire on the ground, and a pungent smell of a mixture of poisonous weeds rose from the inner sanctum.

After just a few steps, Shen Shu already felt that the poisonous gas inhaled into his chest began to permeate his viscera, with a burning pain.

"Ahem...... Cough...... Ahem......" she choked.

Ah Qiu, who was walking in front, heard the coughing sound, stopped, turned around and looked at her with concern, scratched his head, and looked a little confused.

It wasn't until this moment that Shen Shu found out-

Obviously, this place is poisonous, and her internal organs are in pain because of inhaling poisonous gas, but Ah Qiu seems to be fine, as if she doesn't feel the pain at all.

Then, she remembered the white brocade before, and the same was true.

It was clear that the red yarn covered with brocade was soaked with blood, which was a poison that would erode people when touched, but Bai Jin looked indifferent......

"Ahem...... Cough...... Cough...... Why don't you feel poison? ”

Ah Qiu was stunned for a moment, and replied with difficulty: "Same ...... A...... Poison, medium and multi...... I don't feel it. ”

Shen Shu's eyes widened in astonishment.

She suddenly remembered—

After re-entering the poison miasma forest before, the degree of her poisoning attack seemed to be much weaker than when she first entered.

That is to say...... If she wants to be like Ah Qiu, she has no feeling for poison.

You only need to taste all kinds of poisons repeatedly, and you can temper your body into a state that is truly painless and invasive!

For no reason, Shen Shu remembered the experiences of constantly tasting and testing medicines in the dream of Medicine Buddha.

Could it be that it was because of this characteristic of her body that she was caught by Medicine Buddha in a dream to test medicine?

Thinking of this, Shen Shu was a little happy.

Fortunately, in her dreams, she tried a lot of medicines and tasted a lot of poisons.

If not—

After she woke up, she would not be so lucky, she could be so sensitive to medicine and poison, and she was lucky enough to save the third brother and find out so many hidden secrets.

Shen Shu really couldn't imagine what kind of suffering his body would suffer if he really tasted all the herbs and poisons but didn't die.

Just thinking about it casually made her shudder.

She shuddered, calmed down, and urged Ah Qiu: "Let's go, I'm much better." ”

This inner sanctum was too gloomy, and she just wanted to figure out the relationship between the batbird and the poison slave as soon as possible and leave this ghost place.

Holding a torch, Ah Qiu circled the inner sanctum and lit the remaining candles on the walls.

It wasn't until this moment that Shen Shu could see the whole picture of the entire inner hall clearly.

It had apparently been unused for a long time, covered in cobwebs and dust.

At the top, there is a slightly higher stone platform, and on top of the stone platform, there is an old and broken futon, as if it is a pulpit.

From where Shen Shu was standing, to the farthest stone platform.

Countless equally old futons are neatly arranged.

Just by looking at it like this, you can imagine how oppressive it must have been in its heyday.

Ah Qiu pointed to the stone wall beside him.

Shen Shu took a closer look and found that the stone wall of the inner hall was painted with lifelike murals as in the cave before.

However, compared to the rough murals in the caves, the murals here are obviously made in modern times and are more exquisite.

The colors of the murals are intense, but the style is unusually dark and oppressive.

The people painted on it are dressed in similar costumes to those inside and outside the Great Zhou Dynasty today.

Shen Shu's spirit was shocked, and she stared at the past carefully-

This time, she finally saw the bat bird on the mural.

It looks like a bat, but it looks like a bird.

It can be found everywhere on the entire mural wall.

On the original mural near the door, a man in a black robe was depicted reaching out to bestow a batbird on a weak man.

The weak man, after eating the bat bird, his eyes turned dark and his expression was mighty.

He wielded a long whip and was fierce and invincible in the crowd.

This image is the one Shen Shu had seen before, those controlled poisonous slaves!
