Chapter 19: Poisonous Mushrooms (3)
When everyone around them saw this, they were so frightened that they retreated, and some of them even fled out of the hall.
"Poisonous mushroom?!" an old man suddenly realized: "Yes, according to legend, there were three top guards under the command of the Demon Venerable who fought with Daozu Xuanyuan Emperor back then. After the poisonous demon was killed by Emperor Xuanyuan with a sword, its poisonous blood was scattered all over the earth, making it impossible for a single inch of grass to grow within a radius of thousands of miles, and only one kind of fungus could grow, and this was the poisonous mushroom!"
"I've also heard of this allusion!" Another Taoist said: "I heard that after the spores emitted by the poisonous mushroom are inhaled into the body, it only takes one or two breaths to kill people, and the gods are difficult to save!"
The eldest lady took out a handkerchief and checked the pulse of the third lady through the handkerchief. After a while, she shook her head and sighed, "The third sister has fallen!"
One of the guards of Yaowangzhuang said: "Miss, if the person who was poisoned by the mushroom spores is not incinerated immediately, the blood of his body will also turn into poisonous blood, endangering the common people! I wonder what the eldest lady plans to do with the body of the third lady?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone retreated a little, for fear that they would get too close and be contaminated with poison.
"Also, who presented this mushroom for the third lady to identify?" asked another guard.
Everyone immediately looked around, but they couldn't find the mysterious old man who took out the mushroom before.
"That guy probably took advantage of the chaos just now to escape!" the eldest lady frowned, and after a little groaning, she said: "The tragedy has happened, and what should be done now is to try to deal with the aftermath." Blessed, you go and prepare, we will cremate the body of the third sister as soon as possible. ”
"Yes!" one of the guards immediately ordered.
"Fellow Daoists, stand down. The eldest lady said loudly: "I'm afraid there are still some spores floating in this hall, don't stay long." ”
After hearing that it was a poisonous mushroom, most of the Taoist heroes in the hall had already run away, and the remaining half also withdrew and dispersed when they heard the eldest lady's words.
There was a lot of discussion among the Taoist heroes, some of them regretted that the third lady was in her prime, and she had encountered an accident before she got married, which can be described as jealousy, and some praised the eldest lady of the medicine king Zhuang for not being surprised by the change and having the courage to preside over the overall situation of the party.
The Dao Heroes in the hall quickly dispersed, leaving only the eldest lady, Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu pulled Jiang Chen's sleeve: "Brother, let's leave too!"
Jiang Chen shook his head and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, things are not that simple!"
He walked to the body of the third young lady, but was stopped by the eldest lady: "What is this Taoist friend going to do? Aren't you afraid of being infected with poison?"
"Don't be afraid!" Jiang Chen said as he took another step forward.
"Stop!" The eldest lady showed an angry look on her face: "Although the third sister has passed away, outsiders are not allowed to defile the body, if you take a step closer, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Okay!" Jiang Chen smiled bitterly, turned to leave, and before leaving, he suddenly said to the eldest lady: "Although I don't understand the meaning of Yaowangzhuang's move, it seems that there is no malicious intent, I wish you all the best!" After that, Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu left the hall.
After Jiang Chen left, the eldest lady said to herself suspiciously: "What does he mean by this, does he see a flaw? Linglong Pavilion is just a small city frequented by rivers and lakes, and someone can actually see the clue?"
......
Because of the death of Miss Zhuang San of the medicine king from inhaling the poisonous mushroom, Linglong Gefang City was closed for a day. In the afternoon of the same day, the people of Yaowangzhuang cremated the body of the third lady and left Linglong Pavilion with her ashes.
Jiang Chen, Jiang Wu and the others stayed overnight in the Taoist temple on the mountainside. The next day, Linglong Gefang City reopened, and they returned here again.
Probably affected by yesterday's events, there are not many Taoist heroes in Linglong Pavilion, probably only twenty or thirty people. There are only two stores that have opened for business. Unfortunately, one of these two shops sells all kinds of Dao weapons, and the other specializes in selling all kinds of Dao talismans, and the pills that Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu want to buy, they don't sell them.
However, fortunately, there are still seven or eight Taoist heroes who set up stalls in Linglong Pavilion. They put out the utensils they didn't need and exchange them with other Taoist cultivators. Most of the things that these Dao cultivators took out were some unknown ores and jade, or some strange monster horns, bones, furs and other materials. There was only one nun wearing a cloak, selling some elixirs.
"Is there any elixir that replenishes qi and blood?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Yes!" said the nun, "is it an internal injury, or an external injury?"
"Is there a difference?" Jiang Chen asked suspiciously. The nun's voice was good, it should be a young girl.
The nun replied, "Of course there is a difference. If you have lost too much blood due to external injury, you should replenish blood and nourish your body, both of which seem to be qi and blood loss, but there are subtle differences in the prescriptions of the pills used. Famous doctors and quacks, the difference is a millimeter, and the error is a thousand miles!"
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment and asked, "So Your Excellency is a famous doctor?"
The female cultivator said lightly: "Daoist friends smiled, the little woman is just quite interested in the medicine pill." ”
Jiang Chen nodded: "It's a traumatic injury, and there is a lot of blood loss." ”
The female cultivator picked out a red vial, handed it to Jiang Chen, and said, "This is the Dragon and Tiger Blood Pill, which is refined from the two main medicines of Dragon Blood Grass and Tiger Demon Marrow and more than ten kinds of auxiliary medicines. Take one tablet every morning and before going to bed, and with good health cultivation, you can recover within three to five days. ”
"Thank you!" Jiang Chen was overjoyed: "Is there anything else?" ”
The nun shook her head: "A bottle of blood pills is enough to cure blood loss, and eating more is not beneficial." ”
"What should I do if I lose blood a lot?" Jiang Chen asked: "The sword has no eyes, and our brothers often learn from each other, so it is inevitable that we will be injured. ”
The female cultivator looked at Jiang Chen, then at Jiang Wu, and finally locked her eyes on Xiaobai in Jiang Wu's arms.
The nun said, "I only refined one bottle of blood pills, if you want more, you can also order it." However, you haven't asked the price yet, and the pills I sell are not cheap. In this case, you give me this puppy, and I will give you three bottles of blood pills. ”
"It turns out that she also takes a fancy to Xiaobai!" Jiang Chen secretly shook his head in his heart, he and Jiang Wu are also the two brothers, but obviously Xiaobai is a man of all ages, and he is better. Although Xiaobai is greedy and lazy, and will not protect its master, it is good-looking! Those talented young talents need a lot of thought and clever tongue to amuse her; but Xiaobai only needs to shrink in his arms and lazily turn over and yawn and shake his tail, and he can sprout the hearts of countless girls.
"We don't sell it. Jiang Wu immediately refused.
Jiang Chen took out the Dao jade from his arms, handed it to the female cultivator, and said, "How about this piece of Dao jade, how about changing it for three bottles of blood pills?"
"I can't see that you actually have a medium-grade Dao Jade!" the female cultivator said with a little surprise, she didn't accept the Dao Jade, but shook her head and said, "However, a piece of medium-grade Dao Jade can only buy a bottle of Blood Pills." If you want to buy three bottles, take two more pieces of Dao jade. ”
"Your offer is too high!" Jiang Chen said, "We have already inquired, such a piece of Dao jade is enough to buy seven or eight bottles of Qi and Blood Replenishing Pills. ”
"That's someone else's pill, my pill is so expensive! The nun spoke in a resolute and unyielding tone.
The bargaining between the several of them attracted the attention of several other Dao Heroes around. These people also said that the price of the female cultivator's pill was a little too high. Even the elixirs sold by the Linglong Pavilion Pill Shop and refined by specialized alchemists were not so expensive. Generally speaking, the pills sold by Sanxiu must be relatively cheaper.
"It's better to wait for the pill shop to open in a few days, and then come to buy medicine!"
Jiang Chen was very persistent, he seemed to want to buy the female cultivator's elixir, even if it was a little expensive.
"Okay, then let's buy one bottle first, and the other two bottles of blood pills, please refine them as soon as possible." Jiang Chen said.
Several other Daoists secretly shook their heads, all thinking that the brothers had suffered a big loss.
"You know the goods!" Even the nun herself was a little surprised, she said, "My pill is much more effective than other pills that replenish qi and blood!"
"You get what you pay for!" Jiang Chen took the medicine bottle and took the opportunity to whisper beside the female cultivator: "The pill personally refined by Miss Zhuang San, the medicine king, must be incomparable to other pills, and it doesn't hurt to be a little more expensive!"
Hearing this, the female cultivator's body trembled slightly, she was stunned for a moment, and whispered: "What nonsense are you talking about, I don't understand!"
"Why should the third young lady hide it!" Jiang Chen smiled slightly, and continued to whisper: "The other two bottles of elixir, please refine the third miss as soon as possible, and then send them to the Chenwu Dao Hall in Yunlan Town." Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will tell some secrets. This secret is very interesting, and once it gets out, it will definitely be talked about and spread everywhere. ”
