"Drive..."

On the official road outside Yunshui City, a fast horse galloped by, raising dust behind him.

"It's finally almost here..."

The figure on horseback looked into the distance, and a smile appeared on the face of the dusty servant. The long strands of hair were covered with dust and looked depressed.

"Senior brother, I will definitely find an antidote to the venom of a hundred snakes. ”

This person is Lin Fan, who disappeared suddenly, which made many people worry, rented a fast horse from Yunshui City, did not dare to delay for a moment, went out of the city from the east gate, and walked non-stop for a day and a night.

"Phew..."

Firmly reining in the reins of his horse, he jumped off the horse's back and jumped on foot up a low dirt slope, and the fragrance of the grass and trees brought by the breeze shook his spirits.

A small, low-lying valley comes into view, resembling a miniature basin surrounded by trees and mountains. The grass is verdant, the flowers are delicate, and there is a simple little house between the clusters, made of bamboo, simple but tasteful.

Stepping on the delicate green grass, smelling the fragrance of flowers, feeling the refreshing majesty, and walking into the valley.

There is a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, everything here records his childhood memories, every grass and tree, every bamboo and tree, and even the air he breathes is extremely kind.

In the open space in front of the house hung the skins of many wild beasts, some of which had been dried and were as hard as stone to the touch.

The doors of the house were closed, and no movement was felt, and in some places there were signs of dilapidation. Lin Fan's heart suddenly sank.

Crunch

When I stepped into the house, a musty smell came to my face, unusually pungent, and I couldn't help coughing.

There were only a few simple pieces of furniture in front of me, without exception, which were covered with a thick layer of dust, and which, according to the situation, had not been inhabited for at least two or three months.

Thick cobwebs swayed overhead, leaving clear footprints on footsteps across the ground. Lin Fan came to the bed side of the bedroom with ease, and pushed hard, and the wall made of bamboo next to him made a screeching sound, and a secret door appeared.

As soon as the secret room was opened, wisps of green smoke drifted out, Lin Fan immediately felt dizzy and couldn't breathe, so he hurriedly held his breath, and slapped the strong wind with one palm to quickly blow away the smoke.

"It's such a mess..."

The secret room was not large, and it was unobstructed, and there were bottles and jars everywhere, and a pool of red liquid, disgusting as blood, in which the bones of wild beasts floated.

The bookshelf in the far corner is littered with many books, all covered with a thick layer of dust, and it seems that no one has sorted them for a long time.

Lin Fan opened a book at random, and the paper in it was yellowed, but the handwriting on it was vaguely recognizable, and some of the current ones were two quaint traditional characters: Poison Sutra!

Whoa...

In the quiet secret room, only the sound of flipping through the books remained, and Lin Fan carefully checked all these books, and his heart became heavier and heavier.

"There is no record of snake venom?"

"Senior brother, I'm afraid it won't last long..."

Just when he was helpless and anxious. Suddenly, his ears moved lightly, and there was movement outside the courtyard, and with a creak, the courtyard door was opened, although it was weak and inaudible, but it was still keenly captured by him.

Someone's coming.

Looking through the gap between the bamboos, a slightly low figure came into view, in such a hot weather, this person was dressed in thick animal skins, his beard was unkempt, his unkempt hair hung down to his waist, black and white mottled, stained with dust, as if he had not been washed for a long time. From a distance, it looks like a black bear in human form.

Holding a giant bow and arrow, he aimed at the room where Lin Fan was: "What person, get out!" The rough sound like cutting glass was extremely uncomfortable, but at this time, Lin Fan seemed to hear the sound of heaven, and his face showed an ecstatic expression.

"Grandpa, it's me. ”

Lin Fan shouted excitedly, opened the door and walked out.

"Haha...it turned out to be you kid..."

Hearing this, the strange man put down his bow and arrow, laughed loudly, and stroked Lin Fan's head with his rough palm, with indescribable joy in his cloudy eyes.

"Grandpa...are you okay these days?" Lin Fan felt the warmth from the other party's palm, looking at his appearance at the moment, he felt his nose sour.

This is his only relative, his grandfather, who has worked hard to raise him for more than ten years. But they are not related by blood.

Lin Fan was an orphan who had been abandoned in the wilderness while he was still an infant, and the old man was a hunter. It was also the heavens that pitied Lin Fan, who was rescued by the old man the moment he fell into the tiger's mouth, and since then the old and the young have depended on each other for their lives.

He didn't know about the old man, and the other party never told him about it, but he vaguely remembered that his name was Shi Jingtian.

For the old man's domineering name, Lin Fan has always laughed, in his eyes, this ordinary old man who can't be ordinary anymore really can't get along with these words.

"Lin Fan, why are you back?

As Shi Jingtian spoke, his right hand probed Lin Fan's vein, carefully probed for a long time, and sighed: "It's still not a little better..."

Lin Fan obviously saw the loss hidden in his eyes, and quickly changed the topic: "Grandpa, where have you been for so long?"

"You're not here, it's boring to be alone, and being in the company of wild beasts and poisonous insects can be regarded as passing the boring time. There was a hint of loneliness in the old man's words.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I'll be a lot in the future..."

Shi Jingtian couldn't speak, and said, "How can Grandpa blame you? You are still young, your world is outside, I can't help you anything, and I can't bind you to this small place." ”

The two walked into the house side by side, and as soon as they sat down, Shi Jingtian asked, "Is there anything wrong with your kid coming back this time?"

"Grandpa is really discerning, and he can't hide anything from your eyes. Lin Fan said with a smile.

Shi Jingtian waved his hand: "Okay, don't bring me a top hat, it's not a good thing to designate with my understanding of your kid, let's say it." Although he said it, he was still very interested in Lin Fan's praise in his heart, and his eyes narrowed together.

Lin Fan pondered for a moment before he spoke: "Grandpa, you are an expert in using poison, I have a friend who has been poisoned by a hundred snakes, do you know how to cure it?"

Lin Fan looked at Shi Jingtian with a hopeful face, this was his last hope. Although he had lived with his grandfather for more than ten years, he found that he didn't seem to know the old man at all.

In addition to hunting to pass the time, Shi Jingtian's favorite thing is to study all kinds of poisons, almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, and even test the poison himself, the red liquid in the secret room is the blood of various poisons, and the floating bones are highly poisonous animals.

I have never seen him show his strength, but every time he goes deep into the mountain, he can retreat with his whole body, that kind of relaxation is like walking in the back garden of his own house, he doesn't know what kind of person the mysterious and familiar grandfather is, but he knows that Shi Jingtian is very good to him, and this is enough. That's why he came back to find a way to cure the venom of the hundred snakes, if grandpa can't do anything, unless he finds the person who poisoned him, there really will be no one who can save Lei Chen.

"Snake venom. ”

Shi Jingtian raised his eyebrows slightly, "This is a kind of poison, what the hell is going on?" ”

Although Lin Fan was puzzled, he still recounted the matter from beginning to end, only ignoring the fact that he was fighting the middle-aged man.

Shi Jingtian was silent for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "Is this a signal that the other three academies are going to attack the Divine Martial Academy?"

Lin Fan was a little anxious when he heard this, and said, "Grandpa, I'm asking you now if you can cure the venom of a hundred snakes, what are you doing in charge of the academy's affairs?"

"I can't help it. ”

"How so. Lin Fan hurriedly said: "Grandpa, that's my best friend, you have studied the Poison Sutra for decades, how can there be no way?"

"If I can really control the poison of the world, how can I make myself look like this person is not like a human ghost or a ghost. ”

Shi Jingtian opened the thick animal skin robe, and suddenly a foul smell emanated, and his skin had dense red spots, like spider webs, and they were all cracked, and a little bit of oozing liquid flowed down. Even on the face, it was as terrible as the devil.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Lin Fan was stunned, his eyes were round in disbelief.

"It's just a mistake, it's not in the way. Shi Jingtian didn't care, and said that he took out a green porcelain bottle from a pile of bottles and cans in the secret room, handed it to Lin Fan, and said: "This medicine is given to him, it can last for a period of life, as for the future, it can only depend on creation." ”

Lin Fan took it indifferently, looking at Shi Jingtian's back, a tear quietly slipped down. There is endless guilt in his heart, he has too little relationship with his grandfather, and now that he thinks about it, he doesn't even know what Shi Jingtian likes.

"Hey, boy, when are you going to go back?" came the sound of Shi Shocking in the distance.

Lin Fan's heart moved, and he originally said that he would leave immediately, but when the words came to his mouth, they changed: "After a while." ”

"Oh, that's good. Shi Jingtian's indifferent words made Lin Fan hear the meaning of joy.

After a short time, the rich aroma of meat wafted in the courtyard, and Shi Jingtian carefully barbecued things, drank a sip of wine from time to time, and kept a smile on his face.
