Chapter 018: Worldview Methodology

After listening to Pei Qingqing's words, Du Xiaobai said curiously: "Pei Lao, what's going on with the poisonous water of the Lechuan River?

Pei Qingqing told Du Xiaobai about the poisonous things in the water of the Lechuan River, which made Du Xiaobai feel a secret shock. The largest river in the underworld is now poisonous, so how much will it take to burn the surrounding vegetation and the people who use it, and how much poison it will take to poison the whole river.

Pei Qingqing continued: "Earlier, you asked me if I was poisoned in the world, would I be taken to the underworld, so you reminded me. So I used your blood to do a special test, and found that your blood contains an ingredient called cloud mushroom, which is a plant only found in the heavenly realm, and it is impossible for anyone in your world to know about it. This cloud mushroom has three major characteristics, the first is that it can make the prepared poison colorless and tasteless, the second is that no matter what poison is hit, the toxicity of this poison can be multiplied instantly, and the third is the soul binding, which will follow the soul after being infected in the human world until the person's soul dies completely or is unraveled by the antidote. However, please forgive the old man's limited ability, I don't have the antidote to the cloud mushroom poison, so you should still have it in your body now. ”

After listening to Pei Lao's words, Du Xiaobai almost fainted with a roll of his eyes. Soul binding?Why are there so many soul-bound things in this world, and they don't let people die well?

Pei Qingqing continued: "I have found the ingredients of cloud mushrooms in your blood and in the water of the Lechuan River. Yun Mushroom is a treasure among the treasures of the Heavenly Realm, such a precious thing, appearing in the Lechuan River and an ordinary person at the same time, it really can't help but make people suspicious. ”

Du Xiaobai was a little difficult to digest Pei Lao's words, as a mortal who had just arrived in the underworld, these things were unimaginable for an ordinary person.

Du Xiaobai sighed and told the truth: "Pei Lao, actually, Miss Anqi also told me that I was poisoned, but she didn't know what kind of poison I was. I can only help you determine this one thing, and I don't know anything else. ”

"Well, Kiki even knew that you were poisoned?" Pei Qingqing exclaimed.

"Yes, she also said that the person who poisoned it was for this. After Du Xiaobai finished speaking, he opened his mouth and pointed to the big gold tooth in the door slot.

"For what? for this golden tooth?" Pei Qingqing also opened his mouth wide, obviously he couldn't believe it.

"Yes, moreover, this golden tooth, like the cloud mushroom poison you said, is soul-bound......" Du Xiaobai spread his hands, shook his head and said, "Pei Lao, to tell you the truth, so many soul-bound things, my worldview, methodology, outlook on life, axiology, or something, have been completely subverted......"

Pei Qingqing held Du Xiaobai's cheeks with both hands and carefully examined the gold teeth in his mouth. Looking left and right, looking up and down, Pei Qingqing couldn't wait to get into Du Xiaobai's mouth to find out, but it was still in vain. The appearance of this gold tooth is so ordinary that you may not even bother to pick it up if you throw it on the ground.

Although Pei Qingqing was once one of the four great talents in the underworld, he has been a "nymphomaniac" all his life, and his knowledge of flower and herb medicine is very good, but he is almost an idiot in other aspects. He searched all his impressions and memories, and he couldn't figure out why anyone was willing to spend so much money and go through so many twists and turns, and what he wanted was only such a small piece of gold!

However, then again, although this piece of gold is very inconspicuous, it has the function of soul binding. Things with this kind of function have never been ordinary, so isn't the cloud mushroom poison extremely rare! Could it be that this little gold has any other special functions?

Pei Qingqing put away the contemptuous heart just now, you must know that the barren mountains hide beautiful jade, and the loess buries the pearls, just like some flowers and plants, they are also very inconspicuous, and they can still save people's lives at special moments.

Pei Qingqing asked cautiously, "Xiaobai, where did you get this golden tooth?"

From the conversation just now, Du Xiaobai has completely trusted Pei Qingqing. So, he told Pei Lao how his heirloom turned into a gold tooth and what An Qi said.

After listening to the origin of the golden tooth, Pei Qingqing nodded silently, vaguely feeling as if something was going to happen, but he couldn't say why, so he could only tell Du Xiaobai to rest first, go to the yard to see the flowers, and sort out his thoughts by the way, he also needed to digest these things that he had never heard of.

Du Xiaobai was in bed, remembering that there was still cloud mushroom poison left in his body, he was irritable for a while, and after a while, he felt that he was at ease, and Pei Lao, who seemed to have good medical skills, had no choice, and he was guilty of doing that idleness, so he simply covered himself with a blanket and fell asleep.

At the same time, the gate of the White Tiger Gate, the west gate of the capital of the underworld, is a lively and peaceful scene, with ordinary people carrying baskets and small traders with carts coming in and out in an endless stream, and many young lovers are planning to go out of the city to play by the Lechuan River.

The historic city of the capital is extremely majestic, with a wall of dark gray boulders about 20 zhang high, which is imposing, and the whole city is firmly protected. There are rivers, grasslands, and mountains in the city, and the territory is extremely vast.

The underworld is the center of the entire underworld, and this capital city is the center of the entire underworld. There are four giant city gates in the southeast and west gates of the majestic capital city, each gate is about five zhang high, all of them are black, all of them are made of the unique metal Yin Yu iron in the underworld, and have not changed color after thousands of years of wind and rain.

The center of the gate of the four city gates is carved with the four ancient divine beasts, and the names of the doors are also named after the divine beasts. The east gate is engraved with the blue sky-breaking dragon, also known as the green dragon gate; the west gate is engraved with a white roaring tiger, also known as the white tiger gate; the south gate is engraved with a red winged proud phoenix, also known as the vermilion bird gate; the north gate is engraved with the golden turtle snake, also known as the Xuanwu gate.

On this day, the personnel on duty at the White Tiger Gate at the East Gate were composed of two red-clothed officials and nearly twenty gray-clothed guards. One of the two red-clothed officials is called Yuan Fang, tall and thin, with a black pockmark, and the other is called Gao Shou, short and stocky with a goatee. The two set up a small square table next to the gate, and sat facing each other to drink tea and chat.

Gao Shou scratched his goatee and whispered with a smile: "Third master, those two 'flower red resentment' chicks last night, how are they doing?"

Yuan Fang's eyes narrowed slightly, blowing on the finely shredded tea leaves in the bowl, and said without changing his face: "It's okay." ”

Gao Shou was a little angry when he heard this, his goatee was about to stand up, and his voice couldn't help but raise a few degrees: "It's okay, third master, those two are the well-known silver signboards in the 'Flower Bonus Resentment', except for the gold-lettered signboard 'Jade Mian'e', it will belong to the two of them! In order to invite these two grandmothers, all my wages for the past four months have been thrown in!"

Yuan Fang glared at Gao Shou and reprimanded in a low voice: "What to shout!

Gao Shou was scolded by Yuan Fang, and instantly became a little shorter, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Yuan Fang on the opposite side is an old errand who has been guarding the door for ten years, and he is nicknamed "Yuan Sanyan", and some subordinates who shout smoothly call him "Yuan Sanye".

All this is just because this Yuan Fang has a very strong ability to recognize people and things, and he will not forget everything when he looks at it three times. If a person passes through this White Tiger Gate once and comes back, he will know that you have gone to the city to order a mole, and if the basket passes through this White Tiger Gate once and comes back, he will know that there is a string of sugar gourds in it. It's so evil, it's so godly.

But this Yuan Fang has a characteristic, lustful.

Gao Shou is a twenty-year-old young man who has just been on an errand for four months, in order to please Yuan Fang, he was ruthless, spent all his four months' salary and the gray income of extorting passers-by, and invited two signature girls from the No. 1 brothel in the capital city 'Hua Hong' to serve Yuan Fang, who knew that in the end only three words were exchanged, and it was okay!

Gao Shou felt a grievance in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, so he simply lowered his head, didn't drink tea, didn't make a sound, and was sullen.

Yuan Fang glanced at Gao Shou, who was depressed, and a trace of guilt rose in his heart, but on the surface, he still pretended to be light and didn't care.

Of course he was cool last night, and those two chicks didn't know where they learned the tricks, which opened the eyes of his old rivers and lakes. Yuan Fang, who usually ends hastily in less than a minute, actually persevered for an hour, and Yuan Fang, who was helped by pulling out seedlings, really went home last night by holding on to the wall.

For this rookie who has been in the rookie for four months to give him, Yuan Fang is extremely satisfied. But no matter how you say it, you are also a leader, and you can't easily expose the bottom line. If you are a subordinate and give a gift, and when you become a leader, you will greet you politely and with a smile? How can that be? You must not get used to them, otherwise they will find out your bottom line, and they will never again honor you in a different way with a lantern in the dark.

However, Yuan Fang also understood that the mouth of eating people was short, so he said softly: "Little brother, I have received your wishes, and I will follow my brother in the future." In this Xudu City, I don't know anyone who is the eldest brother, and anyone who passes through this White Tiger Gate has to give the third master a smile. If there are any difficulties in the city in the future, we are also people who can talk to the five major families, we dare not say it if we are too empty, follow my brother, we can't protect you from glory and wealth, but also keep you worry-free. ”

Gao Shou's eyes lit up with joy when he heard this, his father and mother smashed the pot and sold iron and begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother for this errand he had found, and now he finally had a backer, so he instantly forgot that Yuan Fang was disapproving of him just now.

Gao Shou wanted to continue to offer a few words of hospitality, when he heard a bell and the noise of the crowd in the distance, and looked up, a yellow sedan chair galloped towards the city gate, and the word "Xiao" was big at the top of the sedan chair.

The speed of the yellow sedan car did not decrease at all, and with a puff of dust, it passed through the majestic White Tiger Gate, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. After a long time, a fragrance gradually sprinkled in the air, and the dust raised by the sedan chair slowly drifted down, falling on Gao Shou's goatee and falling on Yuan Fang's tea bowl.

Yuan Fang's eyes didn't lift, he looked at the flying dust that had just fallen into the bowl, sniffed it vigorously with his nose, and then closed his eyes to enjoy it for a while, as if he had smelled the jade liquid elixir of the Heavenly Yao Pool.

Gao Shou next to him patted the dust on his body and said loudly: "Brother Yuan, your water is dirty, I'll change a bowl for you." The people in this sedan chair are too rude, they don't say hello to Brother Yuan, and next time I bump into it, I must let him suffer a loss. ”

Yuan Fang shouted with disgust: "Go, go, what do you know, little fart, let me tell you, next time you meet that sedan chair, it's best to sit down obediently and drink your tea like today!"

After Yuan Fang finished scolding, he ignored Gao Shou with a puzzled face. In a blink of an eye, he continued to look at the dusty tea in the bowl, sniffed it again, and drank it up.
