Chapter 484: Nine Dragons Worm Cake
"Do you two have the intention of teasing me?" Wu Zhiyuan asked sternly.
The one who couldn't hear the grievances glanced at the one who could see it, but he couldn't see it and stretched out his hand to the one who couldn't hear it, motioned for him to explain, and said without listening: "It's better for you to say." ”
Seeing that the two were prevaricating each other and playing dumb riddles, Wu Zhiyuan vaguely felt that there must be something hidden in this, so he pretended to be annoyed and asked, "What the hell is going on?" You might as well say it directly, don't hide, it's urgent now, I don't have time to mess around with you two old urchins. ”
Seeing that Wen Yan coughed dryly, he comforted: "Boy, don't be angry first, in fact, the two of us are also for your good." ”
"Don't tease me for my own sake, and don't sell off." Wu Zhiyuan pretended to be angry.
"Okay, then let me ask you first, have you felt any discomfort in your body lately?" It could be seen that Wu Zhiyuan's reaction was unimpressed, and asked directly.
"Discomfort?" Wu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, not understanding the intention of seeing this question.
"That's it...... For example, uh, a sudden numbness in a certain part of the body...... "I can see gesturing while talking."
Wu Zhiyuan suddenly felt a thrill when he heard this, and suddenly remembered that his right arm was often suddenly numb for no reason these days, and the whole arm was unconscious when he attacked, he always thought that it was caused by the snake venom that was not completely removed after being bitten by the cockscomb monster snake in the Cixi Mausoleum, because only the right arm was numb, and it was not life-threatening, so he didn't pay much attention to it, is there something strange in this?
He thought for a moment and replied, "My right arm is numb occasionally. ”
Seeing the mysterious smile, he said, "That's it, if you don't eat this worm cake, I'm afraid you will be numb all over your body when you have a seizure next time." ”
"Why?" Although Wu Zhiyuan was a little surprised, he already believed what he said.
Seeing that he no longer continued to answer, but turned to not hear, and said angrily: "Hey, deaf, it's time for you to speak, you can't let me explain alone, and in the future, the master of the door will be held accountable, isn't it my responsibility alone?" ”
Although he was a little cynical when he couldn't hear it, he was more stable than he could see, and at this time he sighed and asked Wu Zhiyuan: "Think about it carefully, when was the first time you had a numb attack in your arm, and where was it?" ”
"Ten days ago, in a burial chamber." Wu Zhiyuan replied without thinking, but did not mention the matter of Cixi's mausoleum.
Nodding ununderstandingly, Zhengse said: "You have been poisoned by our Black Descending Gate, this insect cake can delay the spread of the Gu poison in your body." ”
"What?" Wu Zhiyuan took the case and looked surprised, "Is it the Gu you gave me?" ”
Unable to hear it, he sighed, not impatient, and asked without answering: "Did you reach the point where your life was in danger in that tomb at that time?" ”
Wu Zhiyuan remembered the rapidly spreading red rash on his arm after being bitten by the cockscomb monster snake at that time, and he still had palpitations, as well as the hazy feeling of hovering on the edge of life and death, which is still unforgettable, and he couldn't listen to it at this time, so he nodded slowly.
I couldn't listen to it and continued to ask, "In that case, why did you survive at that time?" ”
Hearing this question, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly remembered what Moon Shadow Fuxian had said when he rescued Wen Qing in the canopy of the carriage, the situation was urgent, and he couldn't stop the bleeding for Wen Qing, and if he delayed, Wen Qing would definitely die of blood loss, in order to alleviate her injuries, Moon Shadow Fuxian used the method of putting her to death and being reborn, and gave Wen Qing the corpse refining Gu powder, and then took Wen Qing to Yunnan, planning to find her senior sister Jin Zhuni, who was good at healing Gu, to treat Wen Qing. Wu Zhiyuan clearly remembered that Moon Shadow Fuxian once said that after taking the Corpse Refining Gu Powder, if he was not healed within a month, he would become a corpse. And after the Moon Shadow Fuxian came out of Cixi's mausoleum, he was anxious to take Wu Zhiyuan to Yunnan, and later met Wen Qing just by chance, could it be that the Moon Shadow Fuxian was in a hurry to bring himself to Yunnan to eliminate the Gu poison?
Suddenly, a picture flashed in Wu Zhiyuan's mind, he remembered that when he was bitten by the cockscomb monster snake and lost consciousness, the Moon Shadow Fuxian vaguely poured something into his mouth, could it be that thing was also a corpse refining Gu powder?
"It must be!" Wu Zhiyuan was determined, no wonder Moon Shadow Fuxian would be so anxious to bring herself to Yunnan, she once said that it was just a pretense to travel to the famous mountains and rivers with her, and the real purpose was to bring herself to the Black Descending Gate to detoxify.
It was only at this time that Wu Zhiyuan understood the good intentions of the Moon Shadow Fu Immortal, and he could fully understand the sadness when the Moon Shadow Fu Immortal saw that he was about to die when he was in the tomb, and the entanglement when he used the Corpse Refining Gu Powder to save his life.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan grabbed the black worm cake on the table and said, "I'll eat!" He took a big bite of the worm cake.
This worm cake looks very disgusting, but it is not as difficult to swallow as imagined, under the chewing, there is a strange fragrance between the lips and teeth, and the chewed worm has a faint sweetness, although it is not delicious, but it is definitely more delicious than expected.
"You kid is also blessed, this Nine Dragons Worm Cake is not something that ordinary people can eat." Seeing that he said jealously, if his eyes were not blind, he would definitely look at Wu Zhiyuan with envious eyes at this time.
"Nine dragon worm cakes?" Wu Zhiyuan asked in amazement, only then did he know that the black insect cake was called Jiulong Insect Cake.
"Not bad." "As the name suggests, this cake is made of nine dragon insects. Nine dragon insects actually reproduce very fast and should be common, but because this insect eats a huge amount of food, it eats all the time, and what it eats is lotus seeds, longan, red dates, eucommia, safflower, betel nut, walnut meat and other precious Chinese herbs, so ordinary people can't afford to feed, so it becomes extremely rare. In addition, it is already winter at this time, the weather is getting colder, this kind of insect has no longer reproduced, and it is fortunate to be able to eat such a Nine Dragon Insect Cake. ”
Wu Zhiyuan swallowed all the remaining Nine Dragon Worm Cakes into his stomach in two bites, clapped his palms and said, "I misunderstood the two seniors just now, I'm sorry." Let's go now. ”
Seeing and not hearing, he packed up his bags and took Wu Zhiyuan along the road to the east.
Wu Zhiyuan came to Yunnan for the first time, and he only learned about the Black Descendant Gate from a few words, so he didn't ask much at this time, just followed these two weirdos.
When it was completely dark, the three of them came to a mansion.
This house is very different from the local folk houses in Yunnan, a bit like the style of the northern courtyard, but it is not the same. At this time, it was already dark, and Wu Zhiyuan had no time to take a closer look, so he did not carefully observe the specific layout of the house.
The two black-lacquered doors are closed, and there are no couplets on the doors, and there are no traces of couplets, which looks very deserted.
I couldn't hear it when I walked to the door, and after a few knockers, a woman's voice came from inside the door: "Who?" ”
