Section 30 Honey Poison
"It's better for the old man to explain!"
Taiyi Palace Jindan Grandmaster Feng Yuan stepped forward and used his physical and spiritual energy so that everyone around him could hear his voice: "No matter what the previous Spring Day Competition, all of you sect Daoists are the guests of my Taiyi Palace. The head of the www.biquge.info sect has always attached great importance to Dabi, and asked the dining room and the guests to do their best to entertain everyone. There is a lake in the mountain behind this door, called maple leaves, and the carp in the lake is born and raised, fat and delicious. This fish is very famous, and even the monarch of the Qin State sends people to ask for it from time to time. Hehe! There is a sweet and sour carp in the dishes of the dining room every day, all of you should remember it, right?"
A middle-aged Taoist in a white robe frequently bowed his head: "That's right, that sweet and sour carp tastes very delicious." Although I have already opened up the valley, the food is current, and I will also be excited. Originally, I just wanted to taste it casually, but I didn't expect the cooking techniques of the Taiyimen dining room to be so clever. It may be a joke to say, but I really have a good impression of that dish and I like it very much. ”
Another short monk chimed in: "The Maple Lake carp is a must in Taiyimen, in addition to being fat and tender, this fish also has the effect of replenishing spiritual energy. The special location of Maple Lake is rich in spiritual power, and the carp in the lake also benefit from it. In time, maybe he will turn into a demon. ”
"I asked the head of the dining room, and recently, Haotianmen asked to increase the amount of carp in daily dishes. ”
Feng Yuan changed his words and looked at Gu Linyu with a cold gaze: "There is a cloud in the Ancient Medical Scriptures: carp and honey should not be eaten together, and the two things mixed with food are highly poisonous, and the poisoned person has a strong blood flow and is insane. This poison is seriously harmful to the sanity, and even if it is saved, it will lose its spirituality, which is no different from a stupid barbarian. ”
The surrounding discussions gradually fell silent, and Gu Linyu suddenly felt that the weather was extremely dry today, and there was an indescribable stuffiness.
As a Jindan Grandmaster, he had certainly heard of the book "Ancient Medical Scriptures". However, I haven't seen it. It was impossible for Feng Yuan to lie about this kind of thing, he just needed to find a random copy of the same book and look at it to find out what it was.
That's right, Qu Yuanming really likes to eat carp. The carp in the Maple Lake of Taiyi Palace is delicate, and Gu Linyu never asks about the appetite of the disciples of the sect. Of course, he didn't need to eat like ordinary people, but he never thought about the problem of "food hedging".
A female monk of the Archaeratism interjected: "Yes, the Ancient Medicine Sutra does have a record of carp and honey poisoning each other. We don't have any doubts about the origin of the carp, but what about the honey? Could it be that Qu Yuanming himself ate honey in the arena?"
Feng Yuan didn't speak, he turned around and looked at Chai Ning, who was standing opposite.
There were hundreds of monks of various sects gathered around. It was the first time Chai Ning had encountered this kind of scene, and he couldn't help but feel a little stage frightened. However, just when he wanted to turn around and retreat, his mind recalled what Yang Tianhong had said before.
"Do you want to soar into the sky, or do you want to fall to the ground? Even if you win the big game, you have to tell the story in public. Uncle Guo and all the brothers are your strong backing, so you don't need to be afraid of anyone. Of course, I can also stand up and explain it for you, but what will you do in the future? Do you always have to hide behind other people's backs and be a turtle with a shrunken head?"
Yes, it was I who won the big competition, and the reason for the matter must be clarified by myself.
Thinking of this, Chai Ning suddenly felt infinite courage in his chest. He took a step forward, first saluted Feng Yuan and the monks one by one, then straightened up and said in a clear and calm voice, "I made some honeydew incense myself and brought it into the arena. ”
The Eccentric monk was surprised: "Honeydew, you mean, the kind of incense sticks made of honey and sweet dew?"
Chai Ning nodded: "That's right, Honeydew is non-toxic and harmless, and there are 6,417 illegal drugs prescribed by the Spring Daybi, and there is no name for Honeydew." The smell of this incense is sweet, and secular children often have greed and steal food, but because of this incense, it is non-toxic, and there has never been a record of death from eating. ”
Taiyimen Feng Yuan's gaze was still cold: "Although Zhou Yuanming is addicted to carp, he quickly inhaled the aroma of honey and poisoned after he came on the field. Ordinary honeydew would never have had an effect in such a short period of time. If I'm not mistaken, the honeydew you use must have been specially blended to make it extraordinary?"
Chai Ning replied respectfully: "In the lower part of the alchemy, the way of alchemy is condensed. The incense sticks that were brought into the hall were equivalent to two hundred kilograms of fine honey. ”
The surrounding crowd was in an uproar, and all kinds of discussions came out one after another.
"This son is scheming, I didn't expect to think that carp and honey are highly poisonous to each other. Terrible, really scary. ”
"What a smart kid, good at catching the flaws of his opponents. It is worthy of being the best candidate for cultivating the formation diagram, but it is a pity that it is not a disciple sent by me, otherwise, he must not hesitate to teach. ”
"This time when I go back, I must read more medical scriptures and medicine books, otherwise I will be confused by other people's Tao inexplicably in the future. Sure enough, the rivers and lakes are sinister!"
Gu Linyu's heart slowly floated up to the scenes of Qu Yuanming's competition in the arena, as well as the brilliant achievements of the previous competitions. Unconsciously, Gu Linyu only felt that his palms were damp and cold, full of sweat.
This time in the spring competition, Haotian Gate gathered the strongest elite disciples of the outer sect. Zhang Jinchuan is a mutant monk cultivated by special methods, and Qu Yuanming is also an elite who has been trained by the sect elders. These two people are the most promising champions of this big competition, and they did fight to the end as expected. However, they all fell in the last battle, and their opponents were all disciples of the Guiyuan Sect.
Zhang Xuanru is a weak woman, Zhang Jinchuan can smash her into meat with a hammer.
Chai Ning was seriously injured and his strength was vulnerable, under normal circumstances, even a low-level cultivator of the third level of Qi refining could easily kill him.
But these two opponents won unexpectedly.
Those rich prizes originally belonged to Haotianmen.
Now, it has become the bag of the Guiyuan Sect.
Why is this happening?
Gu Linyu stared at Chai Ning with red eyes, firmly grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and tried to control the urge to chop Chai Ning into meat sauce alive, his voice was hoarse, and he roared word by word: "You, you obviously know that my disciple Qu Yuanming likes to eat carp, why do you deliberately use concentrated honeydew incense in the arena? You, you have sinister intentions and are extremely cruel!"
Chai Ning looked at Gu Linyu with a very strange gaze, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I was injured in the previous fight, and even if I played, I couldn't play my full strength. This is the last game of the single big competition in the formation map, and the ending is nothing more than admitting defeat or being defeated and dying. What's wrong with me calculating my opponents? Could it be that the wounded can only be killed honestly in the arena, and they can't even resist?"
Immediately, a monk next to him shouted: "Well said, being good at taking advantage of the opponent's weakness is the way to win above board." ”
The muscles on Gu Linyu's face twitched slightly, and his expression was extremely hideous: "It's a fact that you used poison in the arena." ”
Chai Ning was not afraid: "Honeydew is not included in the list of items that are prohibited from being brought into the arena, and I have not violated the rules. ”
Gu Linyu jumped like thunder: "You are quibbling, I, Haotianmen, will never admit the results of this single battle in the formation map." ”
Hearing this, Taiyi Palace Feng Yuan's face suddenly changed, and he stared at Gu Linyu with a sharp gaze: "What, are you questioning the fairness of this Spring Competition?"
Gu Linyu reacted suddenly, gritted his teeth, slowly released it again, and was silent, just staring at Chai Ning viciously with bloodshot eyes, and then scanning back and forth on the people of the Guiyuan Sect.
Taiyi Palace is the most powerful sect in the cultivation world. It is said that there is still some extremely mysterious connection between Taiyi Palace and the upper realm. In the face of unrivaled strength, any sect can only honestly bow its head, and Haotianmen is no exception.
When the surrounding discussion gradually subsided, Feng Yuan coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice: "I announce: The individual champion of this Spring Day Great Match Diagram is Chai Ning, a disciple of the Guiyuan Sect. ”
......
Guo Linsheng sent the news back with a jade slip, and Guiyuan Sect urgently sent six powerful Yuanying elders to Taiyi Gate to bring back all the prizes and people safely.
People with pink eye are everywhere, and such things as robbing money and killing people are not exempt from the practice among monks. Everyone is short of elixir, cut off your head, your elixir, everything you have, it's mine.
Entering the mountain gate, up to Guo Linsheng, down to ordinary disciples, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Sect Master Zhong Yuanyu personally came to the entrance of the inner courtyard and greeted the returning doorman with a smile on his face.
Zhang Xuanru and Chai Ning couldn't imagine this kind of supreme honor before. Facing Zhong Yuanyu, who had cultivated to the eighth layer of the Yuanying Height, the two of them both fell to their knees, completely shocked by that powerful aura.
"Hurry up, hurry up, you are all meritorious people of my Guiyuan Sect. ”
The smile on Zhong Yuanyu's face was really from the heart, and the many elders standing next to him also looked at Zhang Xuanru and Chai Ning nodding frequently, with appreciation.
Before Guo Linsheng led the team to participate in the competition, the Guiyuan Sect was actually not optimistic about this competition, and felt that at most, Guo Linsheng's apprentice Hong Tao barely had the strength to fight, but he never dreamed that Zhang Xuanru and Chai Ning unexpectedly became the winners. Moreover, the individual grand prize won as many as doubles.
In the Yuanqi Pill alone, the number of prizes is as high as 60,000. This means that in the next five years, all the inner disciples of the Guiyuan Sect will be able to obtain sufficient pills.
The lord of the Lotu Temple, Guo Cong, is a middle-aged monk with a calm personality. His city is very deep, and his mood is not expressed in color. Despite this, when he saw the Peiyuan Dan jade bottles filled one by one, Guo Cong couldn't help but be a little moved, and for the first time, he carefully looked at the disciple Chai Ning who had returned from victory with extremely serious eyes.
Chai Ning is quite qualified, but he is not an excellent genius. When he was traveling in Changning Mansion, Guo Cong happened to see the scene of Chai Ning's mother and son being bullied, and out of sympathy, coupled with Chai Ning's own resolute character, he made an exception to accept him as an apprentice.
Chai Ning put all the prizes in front of Guo Cong and knelt down.
"Master, you have the grace of reinvention for me. It's up to you to distribute. No matter what happens in the future, I will always be your apprentice. ”
As he spoke, his eyes were slightly red, and his nostrils were slightly sour.
Guo Linsheng described Chai Ning's performance in detail in the arena. Guo Cong knew that his apprentice was really competing with his life. Guo Linsheng had agreed to admit defeat on the spot with the seriously injured Chai Ning, but Chai Ning would rather die to fight for the final victory.
The road is difficult, and only perseverance and perseverance can reach the end.
Guo Cong picked up Chai Ning, who had not yet healed from his injuries and still looked weak, and shouted loudly in an almost gaffe tone: "Good apprentice, I will do my best to help you attain the Great Dao." ”
Chai Ning was full of gratitude: "Master Qiyu, the apprentice was able to win this time, all thanks to the guidance of Senior Brother Yang Tianhong of the Purple Furnace Palace. He is the real meritorious person. If it weren't for Senior Brother Yang, my apprentice would have died in the arena, let alone winning the championship. ”
Liu Xuebing, the master of the Lingshui Palace, looked at Zhang Xuanru, a disciple kneeling in front of him, and said nothing.
She had already learned from Guo Linsheng about the circumstances of Dabi's victory, including the double cultivation between the disciples of the Flame Palace, Wang Yanfeng and Zhang Xuanru, and the matter of wanting to elope.
Female monks who practice water attribute exercises usually have very young faces. Liu Xuebing pays more attention to this aspect, and has always maintained an appearance of about twenty years old, but in fact, his real age is more than hundreds of years old.
After a long silence, the Spirit Water Hall Lord let out a long sigh and said, "Raise your head." ”
Zhang Xuanru straightened up from the ground, her face full of regret and self-blame.
"It's not scary to make mistakes. ”
Liu Xuebing's eyes showed a look of hatred for iron and steel, but the words that came out of her mouth were full of encouragement: "Fortunately, you can change your mistakes and turn back in time." This time it was also a good training for you. I believe that your Dao heart will become more stable, and your cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort. The so-called blessings and misfortunes are exactly like this. ”
Zhang Xuanru said seriously: "Thank you for the teachings of the master. The apprentice can have today, all because of the Purple Furnace Palace, Yang Tianhong, the junior brother, who is the first to drink and concentrate on guidance. Otherwise, the disciple will be unable to escape the blame for his death. ”
Liu Xuebing was very surprised: "Yang Tianhong, do you mean that Chen Zhengjian's new apprentice?"
Zhang Xuanru nodded in response: "Exactly." If there is no planning before and after Senior Brother Yang, there will be no gain at all from this Dabi I return to the Yuan Sect, and all the credit should belong to Senior Brother Yang alone. ”
......
The secret room of the sect master of the Guiyuan Sect, the fire, spiritual water, green wood, thick earth, Gengjin, purple furnace, Luotu, and the hall master of the "Torture Palace" who is specially responsible for the rewards and punishments of the disciples of the sect, are sitting on both sides of the sect leader Zhong Yuanyu. On the opposite side is Yang Tianhong, who is sitting alone.
"That's how it happened. ”
Guo Linsheng's evaluation of Yang Tianhong is fair and objective: "Before this spring competition, I had a divination. The hexagram shows that Yang Tianhong is the most important variable in this big competition. I have never understood what is going on, and I have never seen any favorable factors from this son to the Guiyuan Sect. However, later events showed that the impermanence of the Heavenly Dao is indeed the right principle, and if there was no Yang Tianhong to give advice, this time the Great Bi I returned to the Yuan Sect would have been a fiasco. ”
Liu Xuebing, the master of the Lingshui Palace, bowed her head slightly, and looked at Yang Tianhong with a smile in her eyes: "Xuanru has already said that without your help, she will definitely achieve nothing." Helping her alone is equivalent to helping all the disciples of the Lingshui Palace. Yang Tianhong, you did a very good job. ”
Guo Cong's eyes focused on Yang Tianhong, and said quietly: "You have helped Chai Ning a lot. I, the House of Lotu, must admit it. Are you interested in studying the formation secret map? I am willing to make an exception and accept you as a disciple of this hall. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
The face of the Purple Furnace Hall Master Shuo became a little ugly: "Guo Cong, your hand is stretched out too long, right? Yang Tianhong is a disciple of my Purple Furnace Palace, why did he suddenly get under the door of your Luotu Palace?"
"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to snatch people from you and Chen Zhengjian. ”
Guo Cong smoothed the black beard on his lips and said lightly: "What I mean by accepting him as a disciple of the main hall means that Yang Tianhong can have the status of a disciple of both Luotu and Purple Furnace. This son is gifted and intelligent, and he is very suitable for cultivating the formation secret map, so good material and beautiful quality, you can't let the Purple Furnace Hall take it for yourself alone, right?"
Liu Xuebing, the master of the Lingshui Palace, immediately reacted, and hurriedly interjected: "My Lingshui Hall is also willing to accept Yang Tianhong as a disciple, and at the same time cultivate the Lingshui Magic Method. ”
With the harmony between Guo Cong and Liu Xuebing, Zhang Shuo only felt that he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only open his mouth, point to Guan Cong, who had a good face, and stammered: "You, what are you ...... Where is this reasoning? You ...... Yang Tianhong is obviously from my Purple Furnace Palace, how can he ......?"
Sect Master Zhong Yuanyu showed a wry smile on his face.
High-ranking monks are usually arrogant, and it is difficult for them to be truly favored by them and accepted as disciples. Even the people of this sect rarely get into the eyes of the hall masters, let alone now, several hall masters compete for one person at the same time, and they all want to include him as a personal disciple.
Zhong Yuanyu coughed and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Guo Linsheng, who was sitting next to him with a cold expression.
"Hall Master, Hall Master Liu, I still have a few questions about Yang Tianhong. May I ask you, and then what will you decide?"
Guo Cong and Liu Xuebing glanced at each other and nodded in unison.
Guo Linsheng is notoriously fair and strict, and since he says so, there must be a reason for him.
Yang Tianhong narrowed his eyes slightly, he had already guessed Guo Linsheng's question. In fact, if Guo Linsheng turned a blind eye to this, it would really make him feel strange.
"In this spring competition, my Guiyuan Sect disciples Ma Fei, Hong Tao, and Zong Heng played one after another, and they were defeated and killed one after another. On the ninth day, Lu Zhixuan, a disciple of the Agni Fire Palace, was killed in battle, and in the afternoon of the same day, Bai Hanwen, a disciple of the Chai Ning Heishui Sect, a disciple of the Luotu Palace, was seriously injured. On the tenth day, Zhang Xuanru, a disciple of the Lingshui Palace, won a big victory against Peng Li of the Moyun Sect. ”
Guo Linsheng recounted the facts in a flat tone, and then changed his words: "Excuse me, why didn't you help the sect until the tenth day of Dabi?"
