Chapter 230: A Long Wait
Gen Gonsi inquired about the situation and asked me what was going on, how I could have come into conflict with a foreign head lowerer.
I told him about the cause and effect, and Master Gongxi was a little angry after hearing this, "These guys are a bit immoral, and they actually went to China to spread wild!" β
Cultivation has no borders, but practitioners have their own territory, and Azambumin's behavior of stepping on the boundary caused Venerable Gongxi to be quite dissatisfied, and he turned to Venerable Sichuan and said, "Old Scar, you still plan to do business with this kind of person. β
Old Scarskin said with a smile, "Although I hate foreign mages as much as you, I am closest to Grandpa Mao, as long as he speaks, there is no discussion about where to fight." β
I didn't expect that there were people in the mage world who were so greedy for money, and this mage named Lao Scar simply had the same smell as Zhang Qiang.
Master Gongxi was not angry, "So, if Boss Ye wasn't willing to pay for it, you would really sell them the stillborn fetus?" β
Old Scar smiled, "What's not to do?" I'll earn an extra 10,000 by selling it to him. β
Master Gongxi rolled his eyes and didn't speak, and then Zhang Qiang suddenly said, "It seems that there is a situation on the black market, and the gluttons will not appear in the black market for no reason, and they are also mixed with Azanbuming, they must have other purposes when they come to western Yunnan." β
I pondered for a while, and then asked Zhang Qiang, "It's hard to meet the old clichΓ©, what are you going to do?" β
Zhang Qiang said, "Then you still need to say? Hurry back and don't wade into mixed water is the principle of life that I have always adhered to. β
I was speechless and said, "Won't you get revenge?" "As soon as I think of the losses that Liu Mei once suffered, I was angry, although in the end the matter was reasonably resolved, but there was always a pimple in my heart, not to mention that the gluttony had almost killed me, so I was really unwilling.
Zhang Qiang gritted his teeth and said, "I hate the glutton more than you, I will definitely be out of business for three days when he dies, and spread a whole street of firecrackers to celebrate, but don't we have that strength?" It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, wait until you grow up! β
Thinking about it, I think it makes sense, although Master Gonsi is righteous, I can't let him fight for me for a little personal grudge, and besides, his ability is not strong, even in the face of Azambuyin, who has broken his tendons, he may not be able to bargain too much.
Gourmets are definitely a cautious person, and if they dare to appear directly in front of us, they must rely on it, and they can't take this risk.
Thinking of this, I had no choice but to say, "Okay, anyway, the yin materials are all in hand, and we will leave before dawn." β
Master Gonsi stopped me and said, "I'll go with you, this gourmand doesn't look like a good person, and I'll follow just in case." β
I agreed, very grateful for his kindness, we packed up our things and immediately left the black market, halfway Zhang Qiang suddenly asked curiously, "What's the matter with that old scar mage, he seems to be very familiar with you." β
Master Gongxi smiled and said, "He is a corpse chaser living in Xiangxi, because he often comes into contact with the dead, so the chance of getting human bones is also greater, and he often goes to the black market to do business, I have saved him before, when he drove a group of jumping corpses, when passing by stepping on the yin point, there happened to be a wild cat passing by, the wild cat jumped on the jumping corpse, more than a dozen jumping corpses at the same time deceived the corpse, he almost died, I happened to pass by to see this scene, and he saved him." β
Zhang Qiang said with a doggled smile on his face, "Master Gongxi is really powerful, he can deal with more than a dozen jumping corpses. β
Master Gongxi smiled bitterly, "Where, I almost lost my life that time, and afterwards Old Scar was very grateful to me, so he became friends with me, the corpse chaser didn't recognize his six relatives, and he suffered the curse of five evils and three deficiencies like Gu Master, so he has a withdrawn and eccentric temperament, Old Scar didn't have any friends before he met me, and he didn't know how to deal with people, don't mind what he just said." β
Zhang Qiang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Where is it, how can we mind!" β
Slowly all the way, when the day was almost dawn, we left the black market range, into another rainforest, wetland climate, mosquitoes and miasma a lot, after a while the forest actually floated fog, Zhang Qiang couldn't help muttering, "It's really strange the climate here, did it rain yesterday, how could it be so foggy?" β
Master Gongxi's face changed slightly, stopping us from leaving, Zhang Qiang and I felt the difference, and asked him what was wrong? Master Goncy looked up at the fog in the forest, and his tone was a little heavy, "It's not fog, it's a poisonous miasma!" β
He explained that there is a lot of rain in the southwest, the jungle is dense, and the rainwater seeps into the soil and soaks for many years, and is infected by fallen leaves, which forms a special poisonous gas, which usually lies dormant in the soil and is suppressed by the sun's rays, so it generally does not emit it.
But once the sun does not appear for several days in a row, and the suppression of natural light is lacking, the miasma will be accompanied by the evaporation of water vapor leakage, forming such a fog that foreigners do not know what it is, and they think that the fog is just soda, and once they walk in, they will be hit.
I smacked my tongue, "So what?" β
Master Gonsi looked around, "Fortunately, the miasma is not heavy, the safest way is to wait until daytime before leaving, there is light during the day, and the toxins of the fog miasma will evaporate." β
I looked up at the sky, the tip of my nose was covered with a layer of wet raindrops, and I dipped my finger a little in front of me, and said with a wry smile, "It seems that the mage is going to be disappointed, and the sun may not come out after dawn." β
Master Gonsi said, "Then we have to hurry as soon as possible, and while the miasma has not yet formed a scale, it will be fine to climb over this mountain." β
After that, he walked to the edge of the woods, picked the leaves in the shape of a triangle, and handed them to me and Zhang Qiang respectively, "You chew the leaves and press them under the tip of your tongue, so that the weeds can avoid poison." β
I wondered, "Can this thing really relieve the miasma?" β
Master Gongxi said as he walked, "Yes, wherever the poisonous miasma is prevalent, there will be such triangular pointed leaves, I don't know what its name is, this method was taught to me by a local Gu master." β
I was skeptical, and pressed the leaves under the tip of my tongue, and at first I felt bitter in my mouth, and the weeds had a peculiar bitter smell, which was so strange that I even felt numb on my tongue, but the more I chewed, the lighter the smell became, and even the miasma was not much more.
I can't help but sigh that Miao Jiang is magical, people say that Miao Jiang is full of herbs, which is true.
Halfway up the mountain, Zhang Qiang was tired and couldn't walk, so he leaned on a big rock and gasped, "No, rest for a while and then go, it's not dawn yet, it's too dangerous in the mountains." β
Master Gonsi was about to speak, when suddenly the roots of my ears moved, and I was puzzled, when I suddenly heard him say, "There is someone in front of me! β
I said, "Maybe it's some unlucky guy who went up the mountain late at night like us, do you want to say hello?" β
Without waiting for Master Goncy to speak, the sound of footsteps had already sounded clearly, and Master Goncy frowned and said, "You don't need to go up to say hello, people have taken the initiative to come." β
The three of us stood still and waited, and soon the silhouette of a figure appeared behind the thick fog, and the miasma was so deep that I could not make out the man's face, but I heard a series of gloomy laughter.
The accent was very strange, and the Mandarin made me frown unconsciously, "I knew you would leave overnight, and I've been waiting for a long time." β
Azanbumin!
