Chapter 10: Cold Poison

Zhang Qing took Gu Xuan all the way to the City Lord's Mansion, and on the way, Gu Xuan learned through Zhang Qing that Chen Haofeng, the current city lord of Tianyan City, and Zhang Qing were actually friends of life and death.

When Zhang Qing was young, he also came to this Tianyan City to experience, and when he went into the mountains to hunt Yan beasts, he rescued Chen Haofeng from the mouth of a chakra realm flame beast, and later learned that Zhang Qing was an alchemist, and this time he came to the Tianyan Mountain Range to see if there was a chance to find a more powerful beast fire! Chen Haofeng repaid the grace of saving his life, and resolutely sent the half-step earth fire left by his ancestors -- the Demon Yan Fire to Zhang Qing! Zhang Qing was overjoyed and became brothers with Chen Haofeng!

Demon Yan Huo, legend has it that it was born after the appearance of the Tianyan Mountain Range. Zhang Qing knows more about this, the Demon Yan Fire is after the death of the King of the Flame Beast, the Yan Beast Pill fell into the underground lava and absorbed the leyline magma essence to evolve! Demon Yan Fire because the ontological Yan Beast Pill is relatively mild, but the later absorbed leyline magma essence is more violent, so this kind of flame is between the beast fire and the earth fire, so it is called half-step earth fire, although it is said to be a half-step earth fire, but compared with the real earth fire, it is still too far behind! However, this demon fire is mild and fierce, it is relatively easy to control, and it is more suitable for alchemy, and Zhang Qing came out to find the beast fire, and unexpectedly got a flame that is more powerful than the earth fire, Zhang Qing is naturally very satisfied with the demon fire!

During the conversation, the two came to the City Lord's Mansion, which is the seat of a city's ruler, so it is not as lively and noisy as the outer and central parts of the city. But at this moment, the silence is a little weird and terrifying!

On the surface, there are only a few guards around the City Lord's Mansion as before, and their strength is not high, but they are only in the Spirit Gathering Realm! Zhang Qing frowned, he was keenly aware of the murderous aura revealed in the City Lord's Mansion! Moreover, he also noticed that there were still a large number of guards hiding around in the secret, and most of their strength was in the Chakra Realm, and the most of them were at the peak of Spirit Gathering!

"Elder Zhang, something is wrong with the atmosphere......" Although Gu Xuan couldn't detect the master hidden in the secret, he could still feel that murderous aura!

"Let's go, let's take a look!" Zhang Qing said, striding towards the gate.

"Stop! Stop coming? There are no guests in the City Lord's Mansion today! Please leave immediately!" Zhang Qing and Gu Xuan hadn't approached the gate yet, and a guard next to the gate immediately stood up and said!

Zhang Qing and Gu Xuan did not stop, nor did they leave, but continued to walk forward, and with a flip of their hands, a token appeared in their hands and threw it towards the guard, "I won't be embarrassed by you, give this token to the person in charge, and he will meet me!"

When the guard saw the two of them like this, he wanted to have a seizure, but suddenly saw the old guy throw something and fly towards him, and subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he was shocked to find that no matter how desperately he tried to move his feet, his body did not obey the call, and he still stayed in place!

He wasn't worried that the two of them would take the opportunity to make trouble, he was only the one with the lowest strength among the guards, and it didn't have much impact if he didn't have one, although the strength of the person who came was high, if the two of them made trouble, there would be stronger people to take action! Besides, how could he bring a young man who was not even in the realm of gathering spirits to find fault here? Isn't that sick? Therefore, after taking Zhang Qing's token, he didn't hesitate too much, and immediately went to the city lord's mansion!

As soon as he thought of the sick word, the speed of the guard couldn't help but speed up a few points!

"Lord of the city, an old man and a young man outside the mansion ask to see you!" said the guard through the courtyard and outside the door of a room, with a respectful expression.

"Who do they say they are?" the room was silent for a few seconds, and a slightly magnetic voice slowly came out.

"No, but they gave me a token, and said that the person in charge would meet him after seeing the token. ”

"Oh?" the voice said with a bit of surprise this time.

"Squeak"

After a burst of footsteps, the door suddenly opened, and the guard only felt a bone-chilling chill rushing to his face, not murderous, but really cold, cold and biting!

"Where's the token?" The person who spoke was about forty years old, medium in size, six feet tall, dressed in a black robe, a fiery red jade pendant tied around his waist, and his feet were wearing cloud silk shoes, as long as Gu Xuan, not handsome, but very attractive! But at this moment, his face was a little pale, and there was a little frost on the tip of his eyebrows!

When the guard heard this, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly presented the token in his hand with both hands, and then stood aside, waiting for a reply! Because of Tianyan City's proximity to the Tianyan Mountain Range, Tianyan City is relatively hot all year round, and it never snows, and the rain time is very rare!

"Has the old city lord's injuries worsened again......

Chen Tianming didn't know what the guards were thinking, and took the token with one hand, Chen Tianming only felt that his hands were warm, and even the chill in his body was dispelled a lot. Take a closer look, only to see that the token is carved with fine and simple patterns around it, the front is a "Qing" word, and the back is a simple small tripod pattern.

Chen Tianming suddenly clenched the token in his hand, and said excitedly: "Go and invite people in, no, I'll go with you!" Chen Tianming couldn't help but be excited, three months ago, after Chen Haofeng came back from going out, his body was getting colder and colder day by day, at first he only felt a little uncomfortable, and then his eyebrows were stained with frost, Chen Haofeng realized that the matter was serious, and he was likely to be poisoned by cold because of 'that thing'! Then he immediately ordered Chen Tianming to secretly strengthen the guarding force of the City Lord's Mansion, and ordered to input Yuan Force into his body at noon every day, and enter Yuan Force again at night and Zi and suck out an appropriate amount of cold air! After that, Chen Haofeng's situation was finally alleviated, but Chen Tianming knew that even if he could eat it, this was not a long-term solution!

Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Qing came!

............

"Cold Poison ?!!" Chen Tianming took Zhang Qing and Gu Xuan to the lobby, sat down in separate positions, and after retreating from the left and right people, he explained the situation one by one. The more Zhang Qing listened, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he asked Chen Tianming again: "Tianming, do you know where your father was poisoned, and how long has it been poisoned?"

As for where he was poisoned, Tianming didn't know, he only knew that his father was going to Tianshui City to run errands this time...... "The stakes were very high, and Chen Tianming didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly said as follows."

"In this way, take me to see Brother Chen first. ”

Chen Tianming didn't say much, and immediately led the way.

"Cold poison?" On the way to Chen Haofeng's room, Gu Xuan muttered in a low voice. But I didn't expect to be heard clearly by Zhang Qing and Chen Tianming.

"Old Zhang, this little brother is ......" When Chen Tianming saw Gu Xuan just now, he thought it was Zhang Lao's apprentice, because Gu Xuan's cultivation was too low, and there was only such a possibility, so he didn't think much about it, but now he took the opportunity to ask.

"Hehe, this is the son of a friend of mine, this time I will take him out to see a little more. Zhang Qing said with a smile, Chen Tianming nodded when he heard this, and he didn't ask more, no one knew what he thought in his heart! Zhang Qing said to Gu Xuan again: "Cold poison, simply put, is a kind of cold attribute that kills people. As for what kind of situation Old Man Chen is, he will not know until he has checked it later, and the latter is easier to get rid of, as long as it does not go beyond the realm of Qiankun, there will be a way, but if it is the former, then, hey, ......" Speaking of this, Zhang Qing, Gu Xuan, and Chen Tianming were all silent......

Nothing to say all the way. Soon arrived outside Chen Hao's door, "Old Zhang, do you see if the little brother is ......" Zhang Qing shook his head and said: "It's okay, the old man will protect him, open the door." ”

Chen Tianming didn't speak when he heard this, he pushed open the door, and a cold air rushed to his face, Gu Xuan shivered, and then the feeling of coldness disappeared, but it was Zhang Qing who made a move, only to see Zhang Qing and Gu Xuan wrapped in a light red circle at the moment.

"This is the fire shield formed by the demon fire, which can mainly be used for alchemy, and it is also a major means of attack and self-defense for our alchemists. Let's go!"

"Hmm"

In the middle of the room was only a coffin made of giant fire jade, and the coffin had small holes the size of fingertips, presumably for ventilation. And there was nothing else in the room, Chen Tianming explained: "Because my father's cold erosion at night was too strong, I had no choice but to make this fire jade coffin, which was able to alleviate my father's suffering!"

Zhang Qing nodded and said, "Let's open the coffin."

Chen Tianming nodded, then flashed around the coffin and slapped his palm, returned to the same place, grabbed the coffin lid with one hand, and shouted: "Get up !!"

The cold air in the coffin was lower than in the house, Gu Xuan could see clearly, in the coffin lay an old man wearing a light red shirt with flame pattern tattoos, the old man had gray hair, wrinkles on his forehead, and his face was pale.

Seeing this, Chen Tianming smiled bitterly: "Since my father was corroded by cold poison, the aging rate has begun to accelerate day by day!"

Zhang Qing didn't care, as long as he could, he would wake up Chen Haofeng, and naturally there was a way to restore his original state! Zhang Qing stretched out his right hand and grabbed Chen Haofeng's left wrist, and the Yuan Force slowly poured in, and after a while, he withdrew the Yuan Li, with a strange look on his face.

"Elder Zhang, how is my father's condition?" Chen Tianming said nervously. At this time, he is not the lord of a city, he is just a son! When it comes to his father's life and death, he can't be nervous!

"Old man Chen's situation is a little strange!" Zhang Qing frowned and said, "Why does it look like a master's doing, but the old man feels a trace of the breath of heaven and earth spirits!"

At this time, Gu Xuan spoke: "Elder Zhang, could it be that the strong man who absorbed this heaven and earth spirit object injured Chen Lao? Or was Chen Lao injured just after approaching the heaven and earth spirit object?

Zhang Qingyan nodded when he heard this: "You are very right, there is indeed this possibility!"

"I don't know, my father ......," Chen Tianming said with some apprehension.

"There is salvation! but it will take some effort!"
