Chapter Ninety-Five: Five Poison Obstacles
Seeing that I had calmed down slightly, Master breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to continue on his way, but I still couldn't help but glance back at the black water pool, what the hell was bubbling in it just now? It's so scary! Slowly retracting my gaze, I was suddenly shocked again, only to see that in front of the master, a huge bush actually blocked our way.
This is...... When I saw the small bottles hanging on the branches around me, I couldn't help but wonder curiously, could these little bottles be hung by Long Po?
Master is standing quietly in front of the bushes at the moment, staring straight inside with his eyes, I stepped forward in surprise, but was blocked by the master raising a black thunder bamboo, the master said very cautiously: "This bush, presumably is specially arranged by Long Po for our master and apprentice, the so-called five poison obstacles, in it, if our master and apprentice want to go further, we must pass through this bush, otherwise, we can only exit!" ”
I looked at the bushes in horror, and there seemed nothing wrong with them, it seemed much simpler than the black water pool, except that there was not a single insect chirping all around, and the more silent it was, the more frightening it was. After thinking about it, I held back for a long time, but I couldn't help but ask: "Master, if we go back now, won't we be able to find Long Po to get the antidote to Gu?" ”
Master nodded and said, "Are you ready?" ”
I didn't know what the master meant by being ready, so I nodded in a daze, and just after I agreed, the master suddenly reached out and grabbed my shoulder, and pushed me into the bushes hard, I dodged in the bushes to stand firm, and suddenly felt something under my feet, looked down, almost scared to pee, the ground was wriggling, it was all poisonous snakes spitting long letters.
"Ahh
I jumped up with a scream, but before I could jump a few steps, I found patches of poisonous lizards and poisonous spiders, crawling everywhere, and hurriedly shouted, "Master, save me!" ”
When Master heard this, he came to my side, waved the black thunder bamboo in his hand to sweep away the poison, and grabbed my shoulder again and pushed it forward, I jumped out of my feet in shock, and just about to touch the ground under my feet, I was shocked to find a bunch of poisonous centipedes like a hill entrenched below, so frightened that my feet kicked violently, but the whole person fell rapidly, just when I was about to fall to the ground, the black bamboo cane in Master's hand traversed my feet, and I used both feet to force the bamboo cane, The whole person was rebounded again, and the dodge jumped out of the distance of more than a foot away, and the master's body chased after him very quickly, and at the same time as I landed, the black thunder bamboo smashed hard to the ground.
There was a muffled "bang", and the poisonous insects around me fled, but where I stood with my feet, I could still feel the wriggling poisonous insects. Soon, I felt a stinging pain in my leg, and when I looked down, it was a centipede, I hurriedly jumped and jumped, and the master saw me in such a frightened appearance, and hurriedly asked, "Ergou, what's wrong with you?!" ”
"Master! I was bitten by a centipede! I grinned, cold sweat breaking out on my forehead.
"Huh?" The master was shocked, and said angrily in a deep voice: "The scope of the five poison obstacles is too large, and it will be difficult for us to rush to the medicine garden at the foot of Jiwei Mountain for a while, if we don't rush to the medicine garden as soon as possible, the centipede poison in your body will be difficult to handle." ”
A chill from the place where the centipede bit came into my body, I clenched my teeth, and found that there were countless poisonous insects around me and then staring at me, I kicked away those poisonous insects while asking in a trembling voice: "Master, is there no way to break this five poison obstacle?!" If we continue like this, we won't be able to get out of this bush at all! ”
"Broken the Five Poisons Barrier?" Master looked at me in astonishment, immediately turned his head to look at the small bottles around him, and said, "These five poison obstasis are obviously sealed here by those medicine bottles, and it is not difficult to break it, but it is just ......"
"Just what?" I jumped up and down and shouted, "Master, speak quickly! ”
The master picked up the black thunder bamboo and glanced at it, and said, "If you break the five poison barriers, you must use the black thunder bamboo in the master's hand, but if the thunder bamboo is not in our hands, it will be difficult to deal with any variables on the road ahead...... Okay, Ergou, once you throw away this black thunder bamboo for the teacher, you run towards the medicine garden in front, find the purple herb and pull it out, and only eat the leaves on it, remember! ”
Saying that, the master didn't hesitate any longer, waved his arm and threw the black thunder bamboo out, and the bamboo cane circled quickly in the air with a strong wind, and in the crisp sound, those medicine bottles were instantly shattered by the black thunder bamboo, and the medicine powder in them was sprinkled down one after another.
As soon as I saw this signal, I hurriedly ran forward quickly, not caring about the five poisonous insects all around, almost closing my eyes, countless bushes smashed on my body, all of which were broken by my gritted teeth, and I don't know how many new scars were added to my body, but I knew that it was not bitten by poisonous insects after all, and my only way out was to run out, run out......
I don't know how long I ran, the five poison obstacle in front of me suddenly thinned, a strong medicinal fragrance blew over, I looked at a large piece of herbs in surprise, under the cold moonlight, I plunged into the medicine garden, and touched the purple herbs in all directions, and finally found one, and pulled it out with both hands. Open your mouth and bite off the leaf on it, chew it in a big gulp, and swallow it with difficulty.
Because this herb is extremely bitter, if I had not been poisoned by a centipede, I would not have eaten it, even if I had been killed. But now that my life is at stake, I can't care about that much.
After eating three purple herbs, I sat down on the ground with my ass slumped, then lifted my trouser leg and squeezed out the venom from the centipede's bite with all my might. After a while, Master rushed out quickly, saw me, quickly bent down to check my injuries, and asked, "Have you eaten the purple herbs that Master asked you to eat?!" ”
I nodded again and again, and said, "Master, not only did I eat it, but I also ate three plants!" ”
"Huh?" When the master heard this, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and shouted urgently: "You stupid boy, why do you eat so much?" Do you know that the herb is highly poisonous, it is a very unique heart-cutting grass in the Miaojiang area, as a teacher, I want you to fight poison with poison, and solve the poison of centipedes, you eat one plant is terrible, actually eat so much! ”
My face turned green all of a sudden...... "Master, eat...... Just eat one, huh? Then will I be poisoned if I eat three plants?! ”
The master shook his head and said: "It's not enough to be poisoned, the poison of the poisonous centipede is not so simple, with the centipede poison suppression, the heart-cutting grass will not kill you, but it will make your heart ache sharply, you ...... You have to keep going, and tomorrow you will be relieved. ”
"Severe pain?" I have rarely heard Master say that the problem is so serious, and if even Master thinks it is serious, then it means that it is very serious...... As soon as I shouted, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my heart, and immediately covered my heart with both hands, and screamed loudly: "Ah! It hurts! Master, is there a way for me to stop being in such pain, I ...... I can't take it anymore......"
Master looked at me with a concerned face, and under my pleading, Master shook his head and said, "There is no way, you can only get through it, and the medicine will be fine after it passes!" ”
The sharp pain in my heart soon spread to my whole body, and I even felt that my whole body was in severe pain, first sitting on the ground, then rolling on the ground, and soon stumbling again, but immediately fell straight to the ground, so tossed for a long time, still not better, but the strength of my whole body, but I was exhausted little by little, after a long time, I just lay on the ground and convulsed...... Master bent over and helped me up, and said, "Ergou, if you endure it a little longer, it shouldn't hurt tomorrow." But now that we have come to the foot of Jiwei Mountain, we have to find Long Po and get the antidote to Gu, so that our hardships on this trip are not in vain! ”
I was groggy and unconscious, but when I moved my body slightly, I felt the pain unbearable...... It was just that when I heard Master say this, I nodded resolutely: "Master...... Let's not waste time, let's go up the mountain and find Long Po to find a way to solve the Gu......"
The master sighed lightly and said, "Well, the teacher knows that you are still in pain, but now there is nothing I can do about it...... You won't let your teacher down! ”
I have rarely heard Master say a word to me so openly, and when I heard Master's last words, I gritted my teeth fiercely and told myself in my heart that I would not let Master down, definitely! Not before, not now, and never will, I always wanted Master to know that he took me as an apprentice, and he didn't accept me wrongly, and he never accepted me wrong......
In a daze, I was supported by the master and walked step by step on the way up the mountain, I felt that my whole body was swollen, as if 10,000 ants were arching inside my body, trying to bite through my flesh and run out, although I knew that these were all my hallucinations, but the feeling of severe pain still did not reduce half a point. I couldn't help it, I choked up and asked Master in a low voice, "Master, if I die, will you think that I am unproductive...... Disgrace to your old man......"
