Chapter 43: Being Calculated

Ziyu, who returned to the back room, relaxed slightly when she was sure that Arnold and Ji Liuhuo couldn't see her, leaning against the door and breathing a sigh of relief.

Ling Sushuang had been guarding in front of the raccoon dog's bed, and was a little shocked when she saw Zi Yu coming in with a tired look: "What's wrong?" ”

Only then did Zi Yu notice Ling Sushuang in the room, and she couldn't help but reflexively stand up straight. After standing up, Zi Yu realized that her reaction was a little overdone, so she had to smile at Ling Sushuang, but she couldn't cover the stiffness on her face.

Although Ling Sushuang was a little puzzled when she saw Ziyu like this, she only thought that she was too tired, and when she saw that Ziyu didn't answer, she didn't force it, but just stood up: "Since you're back, I won't stay here." ”

Ling Sushuang said and walked towards the door, and Ziyu hurriedly turned sideways to get out of the way when she saw this. As she passed by Zi Yu's side, Ling Sushuang suddenly added, "After the toxins in the raccoon dog's body are suppressed, the situation will improve, and there may be a period of soberness after a while, you can take advantage of it yourself." ”

Ziyu smiled gratefully at Ling Sushuang, and only after seeing Ling Sushuang walk out did she close the door and walked to the raccoon bed.

I saw that on the bed, the person who usually liked to be noisy was now lying quietly on the bed, without a trace of blood on his face, but his lips were dyed a little black. His brow furrowed tightly, as if he had dreamed of something extremely bad.

Ziyu leaned on the edge of the bed with her hands, measured the temperature on the raccoon's body, and found that her fever had subsided.

Zi Yu, who breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly thought of the conversation with Arnold in the courtyard before, and couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart. In fact, Arnold took advantage of the raccoon's critical illness and took the opportunity to coerce her, which made her feel uncomfortable.

But although she felt uncomfortable, Ziyu would not have other thoughts, let alone take away Arnold's Neidan because of this. After all, the meaning of Nanedan to Arnold is actually more important than the meaning of a petal to her, and the matter proposed by Arnold to relieve the demons of his master's heart adds up to an equal transaction.

It's just that what makes her uncomfortable is that she didn't expect Ji Liuhuo to follow Arnold to calculate her, and she is so blatant.

Zi Yu couldn't understand why Ji Liuhuo did this, but she didn't bother to think about it again.

She smiled self-deprecatingly, buried her head in her arms little by little, and looked sideways at the sleeping Tanuki, and gradually settled down.

At the moment, the most important thing for her is to enter the soul path of Arnold's master to relieve her heart demons, and then replace Arnold's inner dan with her own petals to detoxify the raccoon.

And just when the house on Ziyu's side gradually fell into peace, the situation in the courtyard was not very good.

When Ling Sushuang was in the room, she saw that something was wrong with Zi Yu, although she didn't say it directly, but the dodge in Zi Yu's eyes Ling Sushuang could see clearly.

Before, she was entrusted by Ziyu to take care of Tanuki in the back room, so naturally she didn't know what was happening in the yard, but as soon as she came out and looked at Ji Liuhuo and Arnold standing in the courtyard, one was cold and the other was uneasy, she knew that the problem was with these two people.

Ling Sushuang had only recently relieved the Ji Liuhuo because of Ziyu's relationship, so he didn't want to be angry with the Ji Liuhuo again at this time, so he had to use Arnold as a breakthrough.

Ling Sushuang measured Arnold, who was standing beside Ji Liuhuo for a while, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "I didn't come out of the house just now, but my heart is curious. Ling Sushuang suddenly approached Arnold as she spoke, her voice was low and slightly hoarse, sounding extremely demagogic: "Arnold, you also tell me, what is the antidote to the zombie poison in the Demon King's body?" ”

"It's the ...... of the White Feather Cat Clan"

Arnold was about to answer when he was suddenly struck by a blue light, and immediately fell to the ground unconscious.

Ling Sushuang's eyes suddenly turned cold, she stood in place and closed her eyes, took a deep breath and forcibly calmed down: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"If you want to know anything, just ask me." Ji Liuhuo said lightly.

Ling Sushuang opened her eyes when she heard this, squinted at Ji Liuhuo and said calmly: "I want to know the whole thing and why you are doing this." Ling Sushuang paused, and then said, "You expected it well, I really want to stand up for Ziyu." But before that, you and I were partners, we both had the same enemy and the same goal, and there were some things you shouldn't have hidden from me. ”

"Actually, you should know that even if some of your methods are sometimes very bad, as long as it helps us, I will be on your side."

Ji Liuhuo stared at Ling Sushuang in surprise, and his tone softened: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you." ”

"It's okay, tell me your plan." Ling Sushuang glanced back at the hut where Zi Yu was, and waved her hand to cover a dense barrier, "She won't hear it." ”

So under Ji Liuhuo's explanation, Ling Sushuang understood everything.

Just when Ling Sushuang went out to meet Arnold, Ji Liuhuo happened to walk out of the main hall, and just happened to bump into Arnold to inform Ling Sushuang of the matter and know the situation of Tanuki.

Although others couldn't understand why the raccoon dog was so sick when it was cold, Ji Liuhuo knew the reason.

Back then, Nan Hotaru insisted on bringing the raccoon back from the Red Feather Fox Clan, and he was already displeased. The raccoon dog is the nine-tailed red feather fox, the red feather fox king predicted by the great witch in their clan, and the red feather fox clan is the right-hand man of the Emperor of Heaven, so Nan Hotaru took the raccoon fox away, which is not just as simple as taking away a young fox.

The Emperor of Heaven was already suspicious, and Nan Ying's behavior made the Emperor of Heaven jealous of her. This is also the reason why Nan Hotaru is obviously the strongest in the Heavenly Realm, but she has always only been in charge of the stars with the three of them, and has not been named the Heavenly God of War.

It's just that at that time, it was the best for him not to be the god of war, and it was for this reason that although he was not happy with Nan Hotaru bringing back the raccoon, he still tolerated the existence of the raccoon dog in the end.

But the good times didn't last long, and one day, the zombie poison in the body of the raccoon dog suddenly committed. He wasn't in the Heavenly Palace at the time, and when he came back, he saw Nan Hotaru, who had lost seven or eight out of ten, lying on the ground.

He was anxious and ran to help Nan Hotaru up, but fortunately, Nan Hotaru did not faint at that time, but his whole body was weak because of the sudden loss of spiritual power. He picked up Nan Hotaru and tried to send her back to the bedroom, but found a dying fiery fox on her bed.

Nan Hotaru explained to him that Tanuki was suddenly poisoned, and she used this stupid method in a hurry, and she might beg him for forgiveness and secrecy.

At that time, he wanted to cut down the fox that caused Nan Hotaru to be so weak, but in the end, he couldn't resist Nan Hotaru's plea, so he relented and agreed.

Who knew that from the beginning, it couldn't stop.

After the raccoon dog woke up, he questioned him in front of Nan Hotaru and learned that the raccoon dog had a stiff feather poison hidden in his body, which would attack from time to time, and once it attacked, it would be painful. The poison will become more and more serious with the age of the poisoner, and when the toxins in the poisoner's body accumulate to a certain extent, it is the death period of the poisoner.

During that time, Nan Hotaru was heartbroken by the poisonous manipulation of the raccoon dog, and later checked the books and finally found a way.

Because the Zombie Ling Poison was produced in the White Feather Cat Clan, it was born to absorb the fire spiritual power of the Red Feather Fox Clan. Therefore, as long as the spirit of extreme flame is burned into the body of the poisoned person every month, and so persistently, it can be suppressed for as little as a hundred years or more than 10,000 years, but after this, the patient will not suffer from the cold again.

Suzaku is a fire, and its spiritual power is inflammatory. So Nan Hotaru followed this method and spent half of her spiritual power on the raccoon dog every month, and persisted in this way for thousands of years before finally completely suppressing the toxins in the raccoon dog's body.

And in order not to worry them, Nan Hotaru didn't tell anyone after finding this method, and she has been secretly following this method. And when he knew about it, the poison in the raccoon dog's body no longer needed Nan Hotaru to consume any spiritual power, so although he was angry and lost his temper, it was too late.

The reason why Ling Sushuang and Beizang didn't know about this matter was because Nan Ying was afraid that the two of them would be worried and didn't allow him to say it.

"So when you hear the news that the raccoon faints from the cold, you know that it is the poisoner in his body." Ling Sushuang frowned, her face was not very good-looking, after all, no matter who had been hidden from her most trusted friend for so long, she would feel unhappy.

What's more, what Nan Hotaru did was still such a dangerous thing.

Somehow, Ling Sushuang suddenly thought of the snake venom in Nan Yingzhong, and she remembered that when she heard the news, she hurriedly went to see the West Heavenly Buddha, wanting to find an antidote to the snake venom for Nan Ying.

The Western Heavenly Buddha was merciful, and when he learned the news, he sent a boy to take her to fetch the medicine, and happened to meet the Emperor of Heaven on the way. When the Emperor learned of this, he comforted her and told her to go back quickly, saying that he would personally go to get the antidote and bring it back.

She thought that the Emperor of Heaven would take much less time to return to the Lingyun Immortal Palace from the Western Heavens, so she agreed to the Emperor's proposal, and after thanking the Emperor of Heaven, she hurried back with Beizang, who knew that when she rushed back, the Emperor of Heaven had not yet arrived, and Nan Ying was also gone.

She didn't think about it at the time, and soon after her return, the Emperor of Heaven returned with an antidote, but at that time, Nan Ying had already scattered between heaven and earth. The Emperor of Heaven was sad for a long time, and he chased Nan Ying, not to mention, they were all rewarded one by one for those who had something to do with Nan Ying. So she only failed to rush back before the Emperor of Heaven because of the delay in getting the medicine, and now it seems that the Emperor of Heaven has long had the intention of letting Nan Ying die, but she has never known about it, and she has been grateful to the Emperor for a long time.

It's ridiculous to think about it now.

Ling Sushuang couldn't fight against the Heavenly Emperor, so now he had to put all the blame on the raccoon dog. After all, if it weren't for the adoption of Tanuki, Nan Hotaru would not have been suspicious of the Emperor of Heaven.

As soon as he thought of these Ling Sushuang, he couldn't help but feel angry, and even his tone when he spoke to Ji Liuhuo was not good: "That Tanuki is dead now, why do you still want to tell him the way to detoxify?" ”
