Chapter 444: To add insult to injury

How do you know?! The short and fat man grabbed the clothes on his chest and said in horror.

He didn't care about it before, but when He Lianyi said it now, it seemed that his internal organs were itching and unbearable, and he couldn't wait to reach in and scratch it!

"What you are in is a corpse marrow Gu, as the name suggests, once you are in the Gu, except for releasing Gu people, ordinary people can't solve it at all, even if you wait until the host dies, the parasitic worms will only break out after sucking up the bone marrow.

This kind of insect is similar to ants when it is young, and when it is an adult, it will grow a row of sharp teeth, not to mention the delicate internal organs, that is, the hardest thigh bones, they attack it in groups, and it will not take half an hour to drill holes and suck the marrow, so it is called a corpse worm.

"The corpse insect is very fond of alcohol, and the person who releases the Gu usually raises it with wine, in order to distinguish it from others, and in order not to be dissolved by the Gu, the wine used by each Gu release person is added with special ingredients.

If there has always been a Gu person's wine as an antidote, the corpse worm and the host will live in symbiosis without hindrance, but once the alcohol is cut off or changed, it is easy to become irritable and crazy, from gnawing on internal organs, drilling bones and sucking the marrow, to biting the skin and breaking out of the body, this time is very long, the host can clearly feel that he is being slowly eaten, and the death will be very painful! He Lian's face was as usual, and he spoke eloquently, and his words were creepy, and his spine was sweating.

"You save me, save me, you are not an ordinary person, you are the imperial doctor!" After hearing this, the short and fat man turned pale with fright, and suddenly knelt on the ground, pleading with tears in his eyes.

"Your master did not hesitate to plant Gu on you in order to make you die, and now he is even stingy with a poison for you, your three brothers have a good life, and they went directly to see the king of Hades, leaving you to suffer from thousands of gnaws, such a master, what secrets do you keep for him!" Chu Lin raised his eyebrows and said with a majestic face.

"I say, I say, I say anything, as long as you are willing to save me!" The short and fat man looked at Chu Lin in despair, and his heart completely collapsed.

"Chief Zhao Guard, please go and get a jar of spirits, the corpse insects have already passed the meal, they are restless at this time, and the current delay is urgent to get them drunk first, and then think of other ways." He Lian turned his head and said to Zhao Ji'an.

After a while, Zhao Ji'an took the wine jar and a blue flower bowl, poured a bowl and handed it to the short and fat man, the man was hungry and thirsty, and his throat was so spicy that it was like a fire, but he didn't frown, and stretched the bowl in front of Zhao Ji'an.

"You'd better tell me what you know first, I'm afraid you didn't get the worm drunk for a while, but poured yourself down!" Zhao Ji'an said disdainfully.

Listening to Zhao Ji'an's words, the short and fat man looked around, sniffed, and simply collapsed on the ground and said: "My name is Fu Xiaobao, last year King Yan went to the south to suppress bandits, the old owner of Qingshan Village was shot to death by random arrows, the eldest brother is his only son, our brother five just went out to hunt that day, only to escape by luck, and when we came back, we found that the village was destroyed."

The eldest brother was bent on revenge, and the five of us came to Gangneung City in disguise, and happened to meet a person sent from the palace, and he wanted us to kill that girl...... No, no, it's the big shopkeeper who killed Mei Ji. When Fu Xiaobao said this, he peeked at the few people sitting in front of him, and saw that they were not angry, so he continued.

"After you say kill someone, give us an opportunity to kill ...... Kill King Yan, the eldest brother agreed to the ghost, we got the news in advance, they will walk the narrow alley, and they have also stepped on it, knowing that the patrol camp will not pass there at that hour, but who knows that day, so unfortunately, the patrol camp not only suddenly appeared, but also came to two teams of people, as a result, the fifth was poked to death on the spot, and we were also injured.

Later, we were arrested by the whole city, there was nowhere to hide, a white-faced man rescued us, let us hide in a dungeon, treat our wounds, and entertain us with wine and meat every day, and when we were healed, we sent a sword book, saying that it was a secret book for the rivers and lakes, I remember that the eldest brother asked him at the time, why he was so good to us, he only said, I can't stand the king of Yan bullying, willing to help us take revenge. Fu Xiaobao said this in one breath, looking at the wine jar in Zhao Ji'an's hand.

"People in the palace?" Chu Lin glanced at He Lian, who shook his head, there were so many chamberlains and guards in the palace, he couldn't recognize them all, and he couldn't guess who this person was.

"At that time, Amei had just entered Jiangling City, how could she offend people and the people in the palace?" Murong Xi pushed the door and came in.

"What I said is true, as for why, how do I know!" When Fu Xiaobao saw Murong Xi, his eyes shrunk.

"Thank you King Yan for your help that day." Murong Xi hugged his fists and saluted, since Xiao Qi left the Beijing patrol camp and followed Du Mei, he knew that it was Chu Lin who secretly helped, and today it was just a formal thank-you.

"Come and sit and listen to him tell me about last night." Chu Lin raised his hand, and Zhao Ji'an poured another bowl of wine for Fu Xiaobao.

Fu Xiaobao raised his head desperately and drank, and he continued: "Yesterday afternoon, the white-faced man took us out blindfolded, and asked us to kill the big shopkeeper at the end of the day, during the fireworks party, who knows...... That's it! ”

He remembered that the four brothers had come out, and now he was the only one left, and suddenly he couldn't speak, and he cried loudly.

"Who the hell is that white-faced man!" Murong Xi kicked him angrily.

"He talks to his eldest brother alone about everything, I just do what I am told, and I really don't know anything else!" The more Fu Xiaobao cried, the more fierce he became, obviously because he was drinking and couldn't control his emotions.

"Ji'an, go get pen and ink." Chu Lin said in a deep voice.

"What do you think......" Murong Xi cast an inquiring glance at Chu Lin.

Chu Lin didn't speak, only nodded slightly.

Zhao Ji'an spread out the rice paper, Murong Xi rolled up his sleeves to help grind, Chu Lin lifted the pen, and sketched the appearance of a man in three strokes and two strokes.

"Look, is that the white-faced man?" Chu Lin lifted the drawing paper and walked in front of Fu Xiaobao.

"This ...... It looks a bit like, he has double eyelids, and his face is always smiling, but the smile is gloomy. Fu Xiaobao pointed to the portrait and said.

When Chu Lin heard this, the corners of his mouth rose, and he picked up the brush again to draw lightly, and the eyes on the paper changed.

"It's him, it's him!" Fu Xiaobao looked at the portrait again and said in a loud voice.

Seeing this, the people present looked at each other, after Chu Lin revised it, the person on the painting was clearly Bai Sheng of the Shu Palace!

Chu Lin was afraid that Fu Xiaobao would bite him in a hurry, so he deliberately tested him, but he didn't expect that he would point out the mistakes in the painting, and he was even more sure that it was Bai Sheng.

"Is there anything else you would like to say?" Zhao Ji'an asked anxiously.

"I ...... I don't know......" At this time, Fu Xiaobao, who was flushed, had blurred eyes and yawned, obviously very drunk.

"I can't ask anything at this moment, so I'll lock him up in the wing room first." Chu Lin twisted his eyebrows and said.

"Yes." Zhao Ji'an called two people in, carried Fu Xiaobao to the nearest room to sleep, and locked the door.

"Is he really hopeless? This person is very important, and it will be the most powerful evidence to punish the king of Shu in the future. Chu Lin turned his head and asked He Lian.

"If it is relying on me alone, I'm afraid it will not be easy, at this time, there is Murong Shao Sect Master here, and he wants to dissolve the corpse marrow Gu, but it is just a waste of some medicinal materials, try a few more recipes." He Lian chuckled.

"That man was hit by the Corpse Marrow Gu?" Murong Xi asked in surprise, and then suddenly said, "No wonder Chu Zhan asked me for corpse insect larvae before, and I prevaricated it, but I don't know if he still got it." ”

"In that case, do you know what special herbs he has in his wine?" He Lian asked.

"Most of the wine used by the corpse marrow Gu is five poisonous wines, and the poisons are nothing more than centipedes, poisonous snakes, scorpions, geckos, toads, spiders, stone galls, cinnabar, realgar, aconitum, mandala, oleander, broken intestine grass, etc., but it is unknown which five are specific." Murong Xi said this, just like home, the Gu system in Dian Prefecture has a long reputation in the rivers and lakes.

"When I cut the pulse, I found that although he had an internal force different from his age, his pulse was vain, and he wanted to use short-term drugs to increase his strength, and I would study it carefully." He Lian had some eyebrows and hurried to find the book.

"You come with me." Chu Lin got up and left, and said to Murong Xi, his tone was unquestionable.

"Shortly after the start of the war, Mei Ji released a pigeon for help, and I didn't receive it, didn't you receive it either?" Sitting down in the study, Chu Lin asked solemnly.

"Yesterday at noon, I received a false message about my uncle's old friend, and I went out of the city, and when I found out that I had been fooled and turned back, it was too late, and the pigeon flew to the Humble Garden, and I saw it when I went back just now!" Murong Xi looked annoyed, and did not refute Chu Lin's deep reproach at all.

He hated himself for being too careless, this fake news could be so interlocking, deceiving the entire Gangneung City's tantric intelligence network, it seemed that the opponent was strong, and he had already planned the layout, and he would definitely take the bait.

"We are all on the enemy's path this time, you were transferred away from the mountain, and my secret guard is even more useless, which led to this catastrophe for Mei Ji, and Mei'er was seriously injured because of me, and at this time life and death are on the line!" Chu Lin's eyes were dark, and there was a strong murderous aura all over his body.

"Oh no, lord!" Suddenly, Xiao Qi broke in in a panic.

"What's wrong with Meier?!"

"What's wrong with Ame?!"

Chu Lin and Murong Xi asked in unison, they couldn't wait for Xiao Qi to answer, and the two of them ran into the bedroom quickly one after the other.

I saw Du Mei on the bed, her face burned like coals, her lips were slightly purple, her eyes were closed, her long eyelashes trembled, and her willow eyebrows were twisted together, as if she was in great pain.

"How so?" Chu Lin pounced on it and carefully uncovered the wound, only to see that the wound was dark purple.

"Don't touch it, she's poisoned!" Murong Xi recognized the strangeness of the injury at a glance.

"Poison? Where did the poison come from? Hearing that Chu Lin was like five thunderbolts, he saw that Du Mei's arrow wound had not disappeared, and he was poisoned again at this time, God this is his life!

"I'll take a look!" He Lian walked in three steps and two steps.

"Oh no, this arrow is poisonous!" He Lian pulled out the silver needle and said with wide eyes.

"What poison, can there be a solution?" Murong Xi rushed forward and grabbed him by the collar, a pair of fox eyes bursting with bloodthirsty light.

"I'm afraid it's not an ordinary poison, if this arrow is shot directly, it won't wait for the poison to occur, but it just so happens that the arrow shoots into the nearest place of centrifugation, accelerating the external poisoning performance, fortunately, I used a needle to stop her bleeding and sealed the big vein, but this poison is really domineering, it's only been a few hours, it's already like this, if there is no antidote to the symptoms, Miss Du is only afraid of ......" He Lian lowered his head in frustration and didn't say any more.
