Chapter 10: The Poisonous Worm
She jumped out of the carriage, the flute stopped abruptly, and silence returned to the surroundings. Shangguan Yutang felt bad, she turned around and got into the carriage, and found Wang Bingquan lying in the carriage with wide eyes, the corners of his mouth were still hung with a mixture of white foam and blood, she reached out to probe Wang Bingquan's snort, and he was already out of breath.
Shangguan Yutang grabbed Wang Bingquan's hand and found that the palm of his hand was bruised, and there was a little red in the middle of this bruise, could this be the heart-drilling poisonous insect of the Five Poisons Sect? It's not that she hasn't seen this kind of Gu poison, they are all some evil crooked ways to control their own dead soldiers, when the dead man betrays himself, he will control the Gu worms in the dead man's body to burrow into the internal organs, so that the dead man dies violently, but if the heart of the poisonous insect wants to enter the human body, it must take seven hundred and forty-nine days of Gu medicine, and if you want to urge the Gu worm to enter the five internal organs, you can control it with your voice, or you can control it with internal force, just now, it is the sound of the flute, which makes Wang Bingquan poison to death.
Shangguan Yutang's heart sank, and he finally caught Wang Bingquan, a witness, maybe he knew who was the instigator behind the scenes, but now he was taken by the enemy in the shadows to forcibly take his life, and the instigator behind the scenes actually poisoned Wang Bingquan.
It's just that Shangguan Yutang didn't understand for the time being, why was it that when those black-clothed people wanted to kill Wang Bingquan at the foot of the mountain before, they drew their swords against each other, if they wanted to kill him at that time, why not just blow the flute? Could it be that the person who used the sound of the flute to urge the poisonous Gu worms in Wang Bingquan's body was not the same group as the group of black-clothed people in Fang Cai?
Following
A ray of sunlight shone into the room, Dugu Shaobai slowly opened his eyes, there was a pain in his arm, and when he looked down, the wound on his arm was re-bandaged and medicated.
Looking around, the room was filled with the smell of herbs, and there were several large knives hanging on the walls, some of which had already been cast, some of which had only blades or hilts, and these knives were so delicately crafted that they were not much different from those made by the Imperial Weapons Department.
He vaguely remembered that it was Li Shenlong and Shangguan Yutang who brought him here last night, and after that, it was a big brother Zhao who gave him an antidote pill and bandaged his wounds.
"Squeak-" The door opened, Zhao Wenhe brought a bowl of black medicine from outside, he put the medicine on the table, and said coldly: "Your poison has been cured, drink the medicine and leave." ”
Zhao Wenhe's tone was not good, and he had already begun to give an eviction order, Dugu Shaobai sat up, he had already disturbed others for a night, and he didn't dare to disturb others again.
He got out of bed, drank all the medicine, and arched his hand: "Thank you Brother Zhao for your help, in Xia Dugu Shaobai, some small thanks, I hope Brother Zhao will not dislike it." ”
Dugu Shaobai took out a silver ingot from his waist and handed it to Zhao Wenhe.
Zhao Wenhe frowned and looked at the silver in his hand, and his tone was even more displeased: "What does Your Excellency think of me?" I was just entrusted by Brother Li to help you, but you humiliated me with money? ”
Dugu Shaobai was stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Wenhe to be such a righteous person, which made Dugu Shaobai appreciate him even more, he apologized and said: "I'm sorry, Brother Zhao, I am reckless, if Brother Zhao needs to go down in the future, you can go to Huguo Villa to find it, as long as you can help in Xia, you must go all out!" ”
Zhao Wenhe squinted at Dugu Shaobai, and his gaze swept over the Qingyun Sword he placed on the table: "It's better like this, you borrow the Qingyun Sword to carve a mold for me, and return it to you before dark." ”
Zhao Wenhe actually knows Qingyun Sword? Dugu Shaobai raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, dressed in cloth, although there was a scar under the corner of his left eye, he looked fierce. But it is difficult to hide his calm atmosphere, such a person should be a chivalrous person who likes to walk the rivers and lakes.
This Qingyun Sword is a treasure won by winning the first place in the martial arts competition in Qingzhulou when he was sixteen years ago, although the Qingyun Sword is a soft sword, it is as tough as Huangfu Hongyi's Yin Yang Dragon Slashing Knife.
In Dugu Shaobai's heart, the Qingyun Sword is also his treasure, ordinary people say to borrow, he may hesitate for three points or even refuse, but Zhao Wenhe saved his life, what does it matter if he lends his treasure to the other party for a few hours?
"Okay, Brother Zhao, I'll pick it up again in the evening."
Shangguan Yutang walked in the door and was overjoyed to see that Dugu Shaobai had recovered and could move freely.
"Big brother, how are you doing? Is there any discomfort? ”
Dugu Shaobai smiled lightly: "I'm fine, by the way, Wang Bingquan and those things are safe?" ”
Shangguan Yutang's expression was solemn, and he said, "Big brother, take a step to speak." ”
……
Shangguan Yutang took Dugu Shaobai to the morgue in Taoyuan Town, and there was another cry of "duh" from inside.
Shangguan Yutang: "Big brother, last night I already gave the order for the Protector Mountain Villa to send the dragon guards to escort those things back to the imperial capital, but it was just ......" She paused: "However, Wang Bingquan is dead, he has a heart-piercing poisonous insect in his body, and last night someone played the flute to urge the insect Gu, making him poison to death." ”
"Poisonous insects?" The crease between Dugu Shaobai's eyebrows is getting deeper and deeper, the heart-piercing poisonous insect is a kind of insect Gu of the Five Poisons Sect, and the Five Poisons Sect can actually target a small town mayor? Could it be that the theft of military salaries is related to the Five Poisons Sect?
The Five Poisons Sect did not see the end of the Heavenly Empire Divine Dragon, and even the owner of the Protector Mountain Villa, Huangfu Shenwu, did not know who the current sect leader was, and the Protector Villa also knew nothing about the place where the Five Poisons Sect was located.
It is said that the Five Poisons Sect has five Dharma protectors, and these five protectors make poison and Gu tricks in the rivers and lakes, if the Hades are still there, the poison of the Five Poisons Sect can only be ranked second, but the Hades have been extinct for seventeen years, and in the past seventeen years, although the Five Poisons Sect rarely shows up, it will also emerge from time to time, and the use of poisonous methods is intimidating.
Dugu Shaobai came to the coffin, Wang Bingquan was lying in it with a pale face, he picked up Wang Bingquan's hand and looked at it carefully, Wang Bingquan's palm was bruised, and there was a little red in the middle of this bruise, and sure enough, as Shangguan Yutang said, he was poisoned and died. However, you have to drink Gu medicine for forty-nine days to be poisoned, did this Wang Bingquan really drink poison for so many days?
He turned his head to look at Mrs. Wang, who was squatting aside and crying: "During this time, did Wang Bingquan take medicine every day?" ”
Mrs. Wang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, choked up, and said, "Yes...... My husband is a lustful person himself, and he often lingers in the flowers, so he is weak, and the concubine in the third room has given him to drink deer antler tonic every day. ”
"How long has he been drinking? Where is the three-room concubine now? Dugu Shaobai frowned and asked, if Wang Bingquan really drank the Gu medicine, then maybe this tonic is the Gu medicine.
Mrs. Wang sobbed: "I've been drinking for more than forty days, and I've been drinking since I came back from marrying a three-room concubine...... Uncle Guan, is there something wrong with this tonic? ”
"Oops! Big brother, let's go to the Wang family's mansion! "Shangguan Yutang felt bad, if it was really these concubines in the third room who drank Gu medicine to Wang Bingquan, maybe they had escaped or had been killed by now.
