Chapter 35: Hurry back within ten days
After three days and nights, Xiao Qin finally arrived at the place he remembered.
Scorpion Valley, this is where he grew up since he was a child, if it weren't for the master, he wouldn't want to set foot here again in his life!
Those years of being controlled, the pain of being invaded by all kinds of poisons in his limbs and bones, were his eternal nightmares.
More than 10 years ago, he and his master left here and were invited to the Daxing Palace as guests.
At that time, he was only twelve years old, and when he entered the palace for the first time, he was very curious about what he saw, and he became a little unruly, just when he was having fun with the young prince, he was restrained by the master with the poisonous Gu in his body.
Soon, the poison was all over his body, and under his painful begging for mercy, the master let himself go.
It was also because of the kindness of the little prince at that time that he begged his father and finally exchanged the thousand-year-old snow lotus for his free body. From then on, he remained in the palace and served as the prince's bodyguard.
It is precisely because of this friendship that even if he dies now, he will come back and beg the master to give him rhinoceros horns.
He must not watch the prince being framed by traitors like this.
After tying the horse to a tree at the entrance of the Scorpion Valley, Xiao Qin headed towards the Scorpion Valley alone.
Using light skills to dodge those poisonous insects, as soon as Xiao Qin landed, many poisonous branches and flowers and leaves suddenly flew out behind him.
Xiao Qin turned around, snorting and brushing the petals, inadvertently inhaling many stamens.
Not good! This is the stamen of the scorpion flower!
Xiao Qin frowned, and fainted to the ground in an instant.
The skin of the whole body gradually turned a pale black.
The shadow of the tree swayed, and a graceful girl fell from the sky, stepping on the leaves and slowly falling.
Seeing Xiao Qin fall to the ground, it was confirmed that she was poisoned, and the woman stepped forward to take her away.
When Xiao Qin opened his eyes again, he was already in a flower shed.
The woman beside him was blinking at him with a pair of sparkling eyes and a smile.
"Are you awake?"
The woman's beautiful voice rang in her ears.
"This is the scorpion valley's flower shed?"
Xiao Qin propped himself up with one hand and looked around.
"That's right! Hey? How did Childe find out? The woman asked suspiciously, as she pounded the medicine.
"Girl, in Xia Xiaoqin, she was an apprentice of the Poison Saint more than ten years ago, I don't know what to call the girl?"
When Xiao Qin said her name, the medicine jar and medicine pestle in the woman's hand suddenly fell to the ground, making a "ding-ding-dong" sound.
"No wonder I look at you very familiarly, you are actually Xiao Qin's junior brother!"
The woman's sparkling eyes instantly filled with tears.
Xiao Qin carefully looked at the woman's appearance, and her eyes lit up.
"Are you Senior Sister Fanxu?"
The woman nodded vigorously and wiped away the tears from her face.
"Senior Brother Xiao Qin, why are you back? I haven't seen you for so many years, how are you doing? ”
Xiao Qinqiang squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm fine, what about Master?" Why didn't you see him? ”
Looking around again, he didn't notice the familiar white-haired figure.
Speaking of the Poison Saint, Fanfu's eyes instantly dimmed.
"Father, he died half a year ago. Now here, I take care of all the big and small affairs. ”
Hearing the news of Master's death, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad, but anyway, when he was a child, Senior Sister Fansu treated him very well, so he had to reluctantly comfort him.
"The deceased is gone, and the mourning changes."
Fanxu was just sad for a while, and then his face was full of smiles again.
"Anyway, I'm really happy to see you again. Just, did you encounter any difficulties? Otherwise, how would you come back here? ”
When she was a child, she witnessed how her father abused his apprentices, and all the brothers and sisters were eager to kill their father when they grew up, and Xiao Qin was no exception.
Now that he has come back alone, he should have come to the Scorpion Valley for help.
Xiao Qin smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Senior sister still understands me. Xiao Qin is indeed in trouble, someone in the palace has framed my master for plotting power and usurping the throne, and now the only witness has lost his mind and gone crazy. I heard from the imperial doctor that rhinoceros horns are needed for treatment, so I thought about coming back here and asking Master for rhinoceros horns to cure my illness. ”
After listening to his narration, Fansu sighed, and said while picking up the medicine jar and medicine pestle at his feet:
"It's not that Senior Sister doesn't want to help you, it's just that this rhinoceros horn is long gone. Half a year ago, after my father passed away, my brothers and sisters also left one after another, and those who stayed here were old, weak, sick and disabled, and I couldn't bear to leave them alone, so I stayed here and took care of everything. And the most precious medicinal materials and treasures during his father's lifetime were all forcibly taken away by the brothers and sisters. ”
"What?"
He came all the way day and night, and he got such an answer.
"Don't worry, there is actually a way to get it."
Fansu knew his thoughts, so he gave Xiao Qin another solution.
"What's the solution?"
Fansu poured the medicine in the casserole on the other side into the bowl, and then came over and said:
"There is a muddy water five miles west of the Scorpion Valley, and there are hundreds of rhinos there for horning, but the rhinos there are very ferocious, if you want to cut the horns of one of the rhinos, the other rhinos will inevitably attack you in order to protect that rhino."
As he spoke, he handed the medicine bowl in his hand to Xiao Qin's hand.
Xiao Qin took the medicine bowl and blew it:
"No! Time was too late, I had to find the rhinoceros horn as soon as possible, and I promised the goddess that I would rush back within ten days. ”
"But now you have been poisoned by the poisonous scorpion flower stamen, once you exercise, you will be poisoned!"
It's not without worry.
After Xiao Qin poured all the medicine in the bowl into his throat, he was about to set off to get the rhinoceros horn.
"Senior sister, despite the danger, I want to give it a try. Don't worry, when I am chased by a rhinoceros for a while, I will not be lucky, and I am afraid that I will not be able to run away if I blindly run? ”
After handing the bowl back to Fanxu, Xiao Qin planned to head towards the muddy water beach that Fanxu said.
After walking for about half a day, Xiao Qin finally saw the shadow of a rhinoceros.
At this moment, the rhinoceros herd is bathed in the sunset, perched in the mud, such a scene, so discordant.
After looking around, all the rhinos were all in one place, and there was no one left alone.
Xiao Qin strongly sealed several important acupuncture points on his body.
He ran towards the rhinoceros at a high speed, the dagger in his hand flashed, and the rhinoceros were startled by his actions.
"鞥~~~"
After one rhinoceros screamed, the other rhinos began to cry one after another.
Xiao Qin's eyes quickly aimed at the rhinoceros horn of the one on the edge and cut it down, and muttered "offended" in his mouth.
However, the horns of the rhinoceros were so hard that they were only cut in half and then pushed back.
At the same time, the rhinoceros's wounds were bleeding.
When the rest of the rhinos saw that their companion was injured, they immediately ran towards Xiao Qin's side, and were bound to use the horns on their heads to pierce his chest to avenge their companions.
Xiao Qin dodged left and right, but in the end he couldn't dodge, so he simply flew towards the injured rhinoceros again.
The knife fell in hand, and the rhinoceros corner fell into the quagmire.
The injured rhinoceros burst into a deafening scream.
When all the rhinoceros heard this, they were all furious and ran towards Xiao Qin.
Xiao Qin was just about to escape with the rhinoceros horn, but his feet were weak and he fell into the mire.
Seeing his hands gradually turn black, Xiao Qin stared at him deadly, and finally fainted.
When Fansu arrived, Xiao Qin was almost trampled to death by other rhinos, and became embarrassed because of her poisonous hair.
Under Fanfu's provocation, the other rhinos chased in her direction.
Fanxu touched the ground with one foot, flipped a few times in the air after borrowing his strength, and flew to Xiao Qin's side, taking the rhinoceros horn on one side, holding Xiao Qin in his arms with the other hand, and flying away in the direction of the Scorpion Valley.
At this time, Xiao Qin's life was already hanging by a thread, the high fever continued to go away, and there were other things to take care of, so after bringing him back, he called the maids around him to take care of him.
The maid knew some internal strength, and after passing on nearly one-third of the internal strength in her body to Xiao Qin, she could be regarded as saving his life. He poked a few more holes in his fingers and let the blood out, so that the toxin of the scorpion flower stamen was finally controlled.
When Xiao Qin woke up again, it was already three days later.
"How's he doing?" On this day, Fanxu came back from outside, saw Xiao Qin still lying quietly on the couch, and sighed.
"Master, although his wound has scabbed, he still needs to recuperate, and when he woke up in a daze, the slave and maid fed him medicine, and now he is asleep again."
The maid finished her words and went out.
In the evening, when she was dizzy with her head on her shoulders, Xiao Qin woke up again.
"How long have I been asleep?"
"It's been three days since I came back from Muddy Waters." Fansu yawned.
"What? No way! I have to go back! ”
Xiao Qin said that he was going to get up.
"Huh! You lie down first, your body is very weak now, if you are tired and bumpy again, I am afraid that you will die of poison if you don't wait until you reach Changjun! ”
"What then? This rhinoceros horn ......"
Fansu sighed, "So be it! I will send this rhinoceros horn to Changjun, and if you have anything else to bring, write it down on a piece of paper and take it with you. ”
Xiao Qin pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.
……
The ten-day appointment arrived soon, and Yun Xianxian ran to the East Palace early in the morning.
"Hasn't General Xiao come back yet?"
"Nope."
The guard replied simply, which made Yun Xianxian a little anxious.
At the main entrance of the palace, a dark-skinned boy was holding Xiao Qin's token and waiting for the guards to let him go.
"Did General Xiao Qin ask you to come?" The guard asked, looking at the token with a dark face.
"Yes."
The boy didn't say much, and replied with a blank face.
The guards hesitated, but finally let him in.
After searching for a week, the boy finally walked to the main gate of the East Palace and saluted to Yun Xian Xian with an anxious face.
"Cloud Fiber?" Before coming, Xiao Qin told him that he was looking for a chubby girl named Yun Xian Xian, compared the plaque in the Xia Dong Palace, and looked at Yun Xian Xian's figure, and the boy was sure.
Yun Xianxian was startled by the boy's actions, and asked with a wink, "It's me." Who are you? ”
The boy didn't speak, just handed her a cloth bag.
Looking at the boy's skinny appearance, he should not be a bad person, so he simply opened the cloth bag, and what caught his eye was a rhinoceros horn stained with dirt.
"General Xiao sent you, right? Where is he? ”
The boy remained expressionless, ignoring her inquiry, and turned and strode away.
He is only a messenger, and he is not responsible for answering the rest of the questions.
Jia'er looked at the boy's departing back and whispered to Yun Xianxian:
"My lord, this kid is so strange! But it looks like he's pretty good. ”
"Really?"
Yun Xianxian is a layman, he can't see that he is not skilled, but now that he has rhinoceros horns, he can finally cure Guan Er's illness as soon as possible.
It's just that where was Guan Er hidden by Xiao Qin?
Just as Yun Xian was puzzled, a letter fell out of the cloth bag
