The black blood in that bottle should have coagulated into a blood clot, but for some reason, it was still liquid.

Looking at the contents of the bottle, Shen Shangluo only felt strange, and then put it on the table on the side, and he began to get busy at the table.

In this small secret room, there are several large tables scattered horizontally, and many strange things are placed on them.

It's weird, but it's actually bottles and jars of various sizes, filled with an unknown liquid.

Most of them are snakes of different species or strange insects, and as soon as the jar is opened, you can smell all kinds of pungent smells.

On one side of the wall is a tall wooden shelf, on which are wooden boxes of the same size, each of which is pasted with red paper, and the names of various medicinal herbs are written.

But most of them died and some of them were rare, the medicinal materials that Shen Shangluo brought back last time were all outside, and the ones here were all grown by themselves, and their specific curative effects have not yet been determined, or the side effects are harmful to the human body.

Now that Shen Shangluo has become Ji Lao's single disciple, she can naturally enter this secret room.

She carefully poured out some of the poisonous blood from the small jar and wrapped a small linen cloth around a small wooden root.

A little dip was enough, she took a deep breath, and carefully wrapped a silk handkerchief around her face, this was the first time she had come into contact with poison.

But presumably, the poison that appeared in Cloud Village would not be something rare, so it shouldn't take much time.

There are also many high enclosures in the corners of the secret room, although Ji Lao is a veritable healer, but it still does not prevent him from studying some strange things.

For example, in recent days, Ji Lao has been particularly interested in Gu techniques in the western region, so there are more centipede scorpions or something in the inner courtyard, and Shen Shangluo has also reduced the number of times he goes to the inner courtyard.

Entering the room in the inner courtyard, Ji Lao's face changed slightly, and he did not have the same smile as he had faced Shen Shangluo before.

His wide robe was flicked behind his back, and he turned his back to Ah Heng, and his tone was a little unfriendly.

"I know you're not Ansheng, but you have other intentions to stay by Luo Luo's side? If you tell me why you tell me today, I might be able to pretend I don't know. ”

For him, Shen Shangluo has always had his own opinions, and no matter what choice he makes, he must have his own reasons.

But he really couldn't understand why Luo Luo had to keep this strange and dangerous man by his side.

But according to Luo Luo's temperament, even if she asks directly, she will not answer herself, and if the tone is like this, it is better to ask this person directly.

Presumably, this person should be more aware of this......

I stayed in Cloud Mist Village for so long, in order to protect Shen Shang Luo'an and grow up safely until that person appeared.

Before that person appeared, he would never let others think of Luo Luo otherwise!

This is not only the task given to me by the other side, it is a chess game laid by the master for more than ten years, and it is something I have always wanted to do.

Although it is only a task, all my feelings for Luo Luo in the past ten years are true, and she is as important as her own granddaughter.

Ah Heng didn't speak, but his eyes were not as kind as before, he just looked at Ji Lao coldly, his face full of indifference.

Seeing Ah Heng standing behind him and refusing to speak, Ji Lao frowned and turned around, with an angry face.

"The old man asked you, don't you have anything you want to say?!"

Ah Heng chuckled disdainfully, and then walked slowly in front of Ji Lao, the approaching momentum of the deadly Hades.

Even Ji Lao, who thought he had seen too many people, couldn't help but tremble in his heart, but he still stood there and didn't want to move.

But just when the two looked at each other, the outcome was already decided.

Ah Heng bypassed Ji Lao's somewhat thin figure, and sat on the throne, crossing Erlang's legs to look like an uncle.

He stretched out his hand to support his face, hooking his lips and smiling with a strange expression, as if he was still waiting for Ji Lao to say something.

Ji Lao's face was a little pale, and he didn't know if he would be angry, if it weren't for the fact that his body was really bad, if he changed his previous temper, he was afraid that he would rush up and beat Ah Heng.

He trembled and pointed at Ah Heng, "Who are you, why did you stay by Luo Luo's side?!"

originally thought that Ah Heng would be speechless, but at this time, Ah Heng did open his lips lightly, and said unhurriedly: "Does this have anything to do with you?" ”

Although the voice is not as low and magnetic as it was at the beginning, it is not hoarse, but it is like a teenager who has just woken up, lazy, casual, and seductive.

Ji Lao almost couldn't help but step forward to hold Ah Heng's collar, he stabilized his temper, and snorted disdainfully.

"Sure enough, it's pretended, if it weren't for Luo Luo's simplicity, how would he believe your nonsense? Do you want to continue pretending in front of the old man? ”

"Outfit?"

Ah Heng stretched lazily, shrugged his shoulders casually, and his small movements were full of provocations.

"Old Ji, you are old, don't be angry, otherwise my Luo Luo will be sad again. I just did what Lolo wanted, and it wasn't pretending. ”

Ji Lao took a deep breath, and then sat down on the side, "Jun Ruheng, you really impressed the old man......"

Ah Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Ji Lao is not an ordinary person, doesn't he also know my identity well?" It's that I underestimate the old season......"

The two looked at each other, as if they were secretly competing for something, and killing intent surged in the air.

Ji Lao stroked his gray beard, it seems that the person he was waiting for has arrived, and it is time for him to really leave.

I have been waiting for this day to come, but when this day really comes, I am still a little reluctant in my heart.

I don't know if I can't give up this cloud village that people love and hate, or because I can't bear that quirky girl, or because I can't give up my old life.

For a while, Ji Lao looked at Ah Heng and had a lot of emotion.

But Ah Heng didn't know what the old man in front of him was thinking, "Old Ji, I won't hurt you, but I hope today's matter will not be publicized, otherwise it will ......"

He tilted his head slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious, but his eyes were full of coldness.

Ji Lao smiled indifferently, "I'm old, I can't interfere with the grievances of your generation, and I'm going to leave Cloud Village tomorrow." ”

He didn't know if his words were to comfort Ah Heng or to signal something secretly, he slowly stood up, "Since there is no problem with the toxins in your body, don't let Luo Luo Duojia worry." ”

Suddenly, Ah Heng couldn't understand what kind of existence this Ji Lao was.

He didn't seem to have the slightest privacy in front of him, and the old man seemed to have seen through everything.

For some reason, the smile on Ah Heng's face gradually stiffened, and there seemed to be something in his heart urging him to make a shocking choice.

Ji Lao no longer paid attention to Ah Heng behind him, and strode out, exposing his back in front of the man, defenseless.

I don't know how long it has been, Shen Shangluo's forehead has condensed beads of sweat, why is it not the result he wants?

I have obviously done so many times according to Ji Lao's instructions, but why is there still no way to judge the result I want?

She propped her hands on the table and gasped, no, she still had to figure it out.

She reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead and was ready to continue, but before she could do anything, the door of the secret room was opened.

The dull sound of stone piers rubbing against each other was particularly obvious in the silent secret room, and Shen Shangluo looked up, only to see Ji Lao walking in slowly with his hands behind his back, with that kind smile on his face.

"Sir."

Ji Lao stroked his beard, looked at Shen Shangluo's appearance, and looked at the things on the table, and understood a little in his heart.

"Why, haven't you found the toxins in Lu Yingming's body?

Shen Shangluo nodded a little ashamedly, "I'm disappointed, I really haven't found it yet, I hope Mr. will show him a clear way." ”

Ji Lao smiled helplessly, "Don't worry so much, after all, it's the first time for you, and you don't have to be so strict with yourself." ”

Although he said this, Shen Shangluo's heart still couldn't let go, there was a poisoning case in Cloud Village, and he didn't know anything.

What if Lu Yingming was just the first? Will there be the next one? I don't even know these things......

Ji Lao took the black blood from Shen Shangluo's hand, put it under the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, his face suddenly became a little ugly.

Seeing Ji Lao's face suddenly change, Shen Shangluo couldn't help but get nervous, she couldn't take her eyes off Ji Lao's every move, and her whole body tensed.

Who knew that Ji Lao was talking suddenly, "Ah Heng is fine, I have only applied a silver needle a few times, and the toxins in my throat have almost been cleaned up, don't talk these days, just cultivate for a few days." ”

Shen Shangluo frowned, is it that simple?

Although he said that he didn't believe it, Shen Shangluo still chose to trust Ji Lao's words unconditionally, since Ji Lao said that it was okay, then it was fine.

She nodded, "Since Mr. said so, I'm sure Ah Heng will recover soon." ”

Ji Lao thoughtfully handed the jar containing poisonous blood to Shen Shangluo again, "I don't blame you for this matter, and someone else can't distinguish this toxin." ”

Hearing Ji Lao say this, he must have already had a result in his heart, Shen Shangluo frowned, "According to Mr. Ji's opinion, this is ......"

Ji Lao walked to the side shelf with his back to the side, took down a black mahogany jar, and shook it vigorously, and the sound of rushing water came from inside.

Ji Lao handed the peach wood jar to Shen Shangluo, "This poison was developed by me recently, but I didn't expect it to ......."

Shen Shangluo took the peach wood jar, his expression was a little strange, how could it be ......

"I haven't thought of a name for this poison yet, let's call it a dragon's tooth for the time being, I've only given this poison to two people in the village."

"Two people?"

Ji Lao shook his head helplessly, when these two people said that there was no life at home, they were looking for me to find dragon teeth, but they didn't expect ......"

Shen Shangluo seemed to see some hope, "I don't know which two people Mr. gave to?" ”

But Ji Lao didn't mean to answer, just shook his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"What are your concerns, sir?"

Elder Ji exhaled a long breath of turbidity, "It's not a big deal, and it's okay to say it, but Luo Luo, what can you do if you know?" This Cloud Village is not big or small, but everyone can look up and not look down, what about after you expose that person? What are you going to do? Report it to the police and then make it public? ”

Shen Shangluo was immediately asked, he just wanted to know the answer he wanted to know.

But what Ji Lao said is right, what can he do if he knows? This Eight Achievements were done by the people of the village.

Even if he is made public to the public, no one will be grateful to him, but there are many people who will guard themselves and criticize themselves behind their backs, and even others.

Presumably, my life will only get more and more sad in the future......

Sometimes that's it, you do what you think is right, but everyone but you will be on the opposite side of you.

They may be grateful to you on the surface, but they will not forget to quietly distance themselves from you.

Everyone has some more or less unseen secrets and some unsightly dirty things......

Shen Shangluo seemed to understand what Ji Lao meant, she held the jar and lowered her head, "Sir......"

She looked up and smiled reluctantly, "Sir, I think I'm just doing the right thing." ”

Ji Lao raised his head helplessly, and said: "I'm leaving tomorrow, and the affairs here will be handed over to you in the future, and this courtyard has always been here." ”

Shen Shangluo also wanted to speak out to save Ji Lao, but later found that he didn't have any qualifications to say such a thing.

She leaned down slightly, put the peach jar on the table on the side, and made a big salute in a proper manner, "The apprentice will not live up to Mr.'s entrustment." ”

I don't know where this etiquette is, Shen Shangluo only knows that it was taught to him by his mother, and she said that this is the most noble etiquette for people.

It was also the first time for her to make this gift, but Ji Lao was worth it, and she was willing.
