【147】Ambergris, a blessing in disguise?

"Hey, hey"

While the corners of his mouth rose slightly, the driver's face was extremely hateful, and he smiled proudly between his eyebrows: "Isn't that me?" ”

"Bastard!"

At this moment, I hated the root of my teeth, and at the same time secretly scolded myself for being so careless, and accidentally fell into the way of others!

Because this person is none other than the taxi driver who drove me here before!

Since we were all in a hurry to get out of this place, and I was so suspicious that I wondered what kind of catastrophe had happened, I didn't even notice the driver's appearance, let alone suspect that the driver had ulterior motives!

If I had been able to recognize him at that time, even if I had not doubted it, with Brother Zhou's usual cautious style, I would have been wary of it. [Full text reading. 】

It's good now!

Brother Zhou and the fat man both fell asleep, and even if I woke up, I couldn't help but feel weak at this time, and I couldn't help each other at all.

If I'm not mistaken, the reason why I'm so weak now, and even all of us who were drowsy before, probably has nothing to do with that nice smell just now.

I don't have to think about it, I also know that it must be a kind of incense specially used to deal with cultivators!

Once hit, it will immediately make people feel drowsy, or even comatose on the spot, and even if they wake up halfway, they will be weak and unable to do anything at all!

Not to mention a powerful cultivator, even if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that he can easily destroy us at this time.

"What should I do?"

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly became a little anxious, this feeling of "people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat" is really difficult to accept! In contrast, I would even prefer to face a real master of the "Refining Qi and Transforming God" realm, even if it is also death, so we can still fight hard!

But in this current situation, we don't even have the opportunity to fight hard!

"Brother Zhou!"

"Fatty!"

"Wake up!"

At this time, I was really a little anxious, anyway, I had nothing to do, so I could only pin my hopes on Brother Zhou and the fat man! I hope to wake them up quickly, especially Brother Zhou, who is well-informed and experienced, maybe he can come up with something at this critical juncture!

"Hey, hey"

Seeing this, the driver did not stop him, but laughed and said, "Shout!" You just shout hard! ”

"Do you know what kind of poison you have? That's the legendary ambergris! In order to put you down smoothly, I have made a lot of money, and you must not let me down for a while! ”

"What!"

At first glance, the strange poison in our house was the legendary "ambergris", and I couldn't help but be shocked on the spot! At the same time, I felt a lot of despair in my heart, and my heart said "it's over", no wonder the driver didn't stop me from waking up Brother Zhou and the fat man, and the strange fragrance we just smelled was actually from the smell of "ambergris"!

Speaking of "ambergris", I'm actually not a stranger to it at all, not only me, but I think many people have actually vaguely heard of it.

The so-called ambergris is actually a secretion of sperm whales in the sea, and to put it simply, it is actually the beak bones of squid, octopus, etc., which are not completely digested in the stomach and intestines, and these beak bones will be solidified with secretions in the intestines before being spit out.

When it is first spit out, it is generally black, and it is very soft, and the smell is very pungent and unpleasant!

But after years of washing by the sun, air and seawater, it will gradually harden and fade, giving off a very attractive aroma that can generally be used to make perfumes!

Not only that, but it is actually a very valuable traditional Chinese medicine, which is extremely rare.

Ambergris has been used as a high-grade spice since ancient times, and its price is so expensive that it even surpasses gold.

And the reason why I know so much about it is because in the "medical book" of the essence of the five arts, there is a description of ambergris, saying that it can "invigorate the blood, benefit the essence, help the yang way, and benefit the blood".

Strictly speaking, ambergris is actually non-toxic, otherwise it would not be possible to make a perfume, and it is also a very precious and important! The crux of the matter lies in the fact that although this thing has many benefits for people, it also has a big drawback, that is, it will stimulate people's meridians and make people instantly weak!

Ordinary people are okay, especially for cultivators, it is simply a "drug" tailored for cultivators, once you inhale its aroma, you will hardly be able to use any cultivation within three days, and you will even become weaker than ordinary people!

Of course, this is not impossible to solve, it has been clearly described in the "medical book", but anyone who is poisoned by ambergris only needs to smell a stinky grass called "vine" to recover immediately!

But the problem is, we are all trapped in this taxi now, and there is a driver next to us, where can we find some "vine"?

I was thinking in my heart, but the driver in the cab couldn't help but step on the brake with a fierce kick at this time! I could only hear a "crunch", and almost at the same time as the car came to a stop, my body suddenly leaned forward, and I almost didn't hit the windshield in front of me!

"Come on!"

At the same time, the driver in the cab couldn't help but spread his palms directly to me: "Hand over all the valuable money and things related to cultivation on your body, maybe I will be merciful and consider sparing your life!" ”

"Bastard!"

This is really afraid of something, when he just left the ghost market, Brother Zhou was worried that he would not be targeted by someone with a heart! As it turns out, we're still being targeted!

Of course, I'm afraid I'm primarily responsible for this!

Because the other party is likely to have already set their sights on me!

Thinking about it now, I really blame myself for being too careless, and at that time, I actually directly showed the address sent by Brother Zhou to the driver. At that time, he probably already knew that I was going to the "ghost market" here, so he waited at the door early in the morning!

Sure enough, we still fell for it!

"Didn't you hear me?"

Seeing that I was indifferent, the driver couldn't help but suddenly get angry, and said impatiently: "Do you have to force me to do it myself?" ”

While talking, he couldn't help but subconsciously turn off the engine and pull up the handbrake, and he wanted to do it himself!

However, at this moment, a bright dagger suddenly stuck to his neck, and he sneered: "Don't move!" The dagger in my hand doesn't have eyes! ”

Brother Zhou!

This is actually Brother Zhou's voice?

Coldly, I suddenly heard Brother Zhou's voice again, and a touch of ecstasy suddenly welled up in my heart! Only then did he subconsciously look back, and sure enough, he saw that Brother Zhou was glaring at the opponent with a gloomy face, and the dagger in his hand was even more tightly attached to the opponent's neck! As long as the other party dares to make the slightest rash move, he will wave the dagger in his hand without hesitation!

The strange thing is that looking at him, it seems that he has not been affected by "ambergris" at all?

What's going on here?

"No!"

"It can't be! How can you not be affected by ambergris! ”

What was even more shocked than me, obviously the driver with bad intentions towards us, never thought that someone could directly ignore such a strange poison as "ambergris"?

"Humph!"

Snorted coldly, Brother Zhou didn't bother to talk nonsense with him at all, so he said directly to me: "You get out of the car first, and quickly drag the fat man out of the car!" ”

"Oh!"

I nodded subconsciously, and then quickly opened the car door, and was about to get out of the car with a wobly background. Unexpectedly, the driver in the cab couldn't help but burst out at this time, and his backhand was a blow, and he smashed straight towards Brother Zhou!

"Be careful!"

The sudden change undoubtedly startled me, and I couldn't help but subconsciously exclaim, my feet slipped, but I couldn't help but fall out of the car!

On the other hand, Brother Zhou seems to have been prepared for this, so where do you need my reminder at this time?

Almost at the same time as my voice sounded, he suddenly reversed the dagger in his hand and struck the driver on the neck with the handle of the dagger.

"You"

The driver's eyes widened subconsciously, and before he finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and passed out on the spot.

"Whew"

It was only then that I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly opened the door on the back seat of the taxi, and it took a lot of effort to reluctantly drag the fat man out of the car with Brother Zhou.

At the same time, Brother Zhou couldn't help but walk straight out of the car, but seeing his frivolous steps, it didn't seem to be unaffected at all, so I couldn't help but quickly asked, "How are you?" Are you alright? ”

"Huh"

Grinning slightly, Brother Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "Originally, it was fine, but because you dredged my Ren pulse a few days ago, it was somewhat affected!" ”

"Huh?"

As soon as these words came out, I couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, and then I suddenly realized, and then I remembered that the meridians in Brother Zhou's body had already become a mess. And isn't the reason why "ambergris" can charm practitioners is because it can stimulate the action of the meridians?

In this way, we can be regarded as a blessing in disguise this time!

If it weren't for the fact that Brother Zhou's meridians were damaged all over his body and he was not too affected by the "ambergris", I am afraid that we would really have to be planted in the hands of this driver this time!

As for the driver, I am afraid I never dreamed that one of the three of us would have damaged meridians! If it weren't for the fact that I had just dredged the Ren veins in his body with the "Fuxi Nine Needles" a few days ago, Brother Zhou would not have been affected by ambergris at all.

As he spoke, Brother Zhou had already opened the door of the cab, and he groped around with the driver.

Soon, I found a small jade bottle about two fingers wide on the driver's body, unscrewed it and sniffed it gently, then I was overjoyed, and hurriedly threw it to me: "Smell it, this should be the antidote to ambergris!" ”
