Chapter 19: The Antidote
Pretending to be looking through the books, Li Haixuan took out the book that transmitted the information this time, and the location of the information transmission was different from the book every time, and the law was only known to Li Haixuan, the person behind the connection.
Soon, this news was deciphered by Li Haixuan: the antidote had been placed under the lapis lazuli on the left side of the valley mouth of the mountain spring valley.
Seeing this, Li Haixuan's eyes narrowed, and his delicate brows were subconsciously locked together.
He conveyed the news to the person behind him in advance that he was going to retreat and cultivate, indeed to ask him for an antidote.
After all, this retreat was months long, and if there was no antidote, he might have a toxic outbreak halfway through.
And that person also understood Li Haixuan's thoughts, so the answer he gave was exactly what he wanted.
But what made Li Haixuan feel upset was not the problem of the antidote, but that person actually knew that he had left the Scripture Pavilion and went to live in the Mountain Spring Valley.
You must know that it was only yesterday that he left the Scripture Pavilion to go to the Mountain Spring Valley, and Li Haixuan did not report this news to that person.
"Is he warning me?" With a hint of coldness at the corner of his mouth, Li Haixuan gently closed the book.
The person behind him directly put the antidote in the Mountain Spring Valley, which had two meanings, one meant acquiescing to Li Haixuan's move to retreat, because he also knew what this sect experience represented, if Li Haixuan could not pass this experience, he would lack an important chess piece.
The second meaning is to tell Li Haixuan that your every move can't escape my eyes.
It was all with a warning.
This naturally made Li Haixuan irritable.
It wasn't the man's warning that annoyed, but the fact that he had been spying on himself all the time.
In what way does he spy on himself? To what extent has self-surveillance been reached? Li Haixuan didn't notice this at all.
You must know that with Li Haixuan's acumen and the blessing of the innate spirit jar, it is difficult for ordinary investigation methods to escape his perception at all.
Qian Song is the best proof of this.
"Qian Song?" Suddenly, a treacherous light erupted in Li Haixuan's eyes, as if he had thought of something.
Today's news did not say a word about his killing of Qian Song.
I don't seem to know the purpose of killing Qian Song.
You must know that she was to warn Jian Su and arouse her vigilance, but she did something against the will of the person behind her.
To put it mildly, it can be said that it is a mutiny.
But he didn't mention a word, and if he knew, wouldn't he have reacted at all? Will you give yourself an antidote?
It is obviously impossible, proving that his monitoring of himself has not reached such a meticulous level.
Thinking of this, Li Haixuan's expression relaxed.
"Fortunately, things have not reached the worst level, and we must be more careful in the future."
Even so, the feeling of being watched all the time made Li Haixuan very depressed.
After thinking about it, he took his eyes off the book he was holding in front of him, and looked around in the Bowen Building, surrounded by some outer disciples who were immersed in studying Taoism, no one was talking, they were all immersed in their own thoughts, and the needles in the building could be heard.
"I'll get you out sooner or later." Whispering in a voice that only he could hear, Li Haixuan calmly placed the book back in the distance, then randomly selected an ancient book and left slowly.
After registering the books at the door, Li Haixuan returned all the way back to the Mountain Spring Valley.
may be because of that message, Li Haixuan stopped many times on the way, secretly observing the wind and grass around him, trying to find clues of being monitored.
As a result, it can be imagined that Li Haixuan didn't notice anything, and he was calm along the way.
This made Li Haixuan's mood even lower, so he simply stopped caring about it, and walked straight towards the left side of the valley mouth of the mountain spring valley, the lapis lazuli mentioned in the message.
It was a piece of bluestone almost as high as Li Haixuan's chest, shaped like a water buffalo leaning down.
Lapis lazuli is made of ordinary material and has nothing special about it, and is often used for some carvings.
Coming to the lapis lazuli, after a little exploration, Li Haixuan easily found a three-inch-high black ceramic bottle among the dense weeds growing on the edge of the lapis lazuli.
Picking it up on the tip of his nose and sniffing it gently, Li Haixuan smelled a familiar pungent fishy smell, somewhat similar to the smell of a dead fish after it has rotted.
This is the antidote to the poison that I have taken.
It is not exactly an antidote, it can only have the effect of about half a year, and once the time is up, if you don't continue to take this antidote, the toxicity will explode.
They used this method to control Li Haixuan.
Tightening the ceramic bottle in his hand, Li Haixuan let out a breath, and walked straight towards the Mountain Spring Valley expressionlessly.
Now he is powerless to get rid of the control of the sect behind him.
Once one day he finds the true antidote, or has the strength to remove this poison himself, he will let them know the price of driving himself for so many years.
In the water of the mountain spring valley, Li Haixuan stood naked in the pool, his skin was fair, and the black centipede tattoo on his back was extremely hideous on his body, which looked extremely eye-catching.
He seemed to have gradually become accustomed to the temperature in the deep pool, and was able to stand in the middle of the pool as usual and remain indifferent.
On the contrary, the cold makes his mind clearer.
"Whew!" Exhaling a breath, Li Haixuan slowly opened the bottle of antidote, revealing a black viscous liquid substance inside.
An even stronger fishy smell spread unreservedly from the black liquid, and suddenly filled the entire deep pool.
The stench caused the birds that occasionally stayed in the valley to flee.
Li Haixuan didn't seem to be able to stand the smell either, after the foul-smelling breath was inhaled into his lungs, his face was obviously a little blue, but this was the only way he could relieve his toxicity.
Tilting his head, Li Haixuan opened his mouth, and the black liquid still pouring from the mouth of the bottle flowed into his mouth.
Something so bad it tastes no better.
Li Haixuan had never eaten rotten dead fish, but he estimated that the taste was not too far off, and the rich foul smell, mixed with bitterness, exploded on the tip of his tongue.
Holding back the nausea, Li Haixuan's Adam's apple rolled and forcibly swallowed it.
In order not to let the antidote be wasted in the slightest, he even stretched out his tongue, which was blackened by the liquid, and gently licked the black substance remaining at the corner of his mouth.
After doing all this, Li Haixuan snapped his fingers lightly.
Boom! A blue flame ignited the already empty ceramic bottle.
I watched as the bottle that had previously contained the antidote melted into a puddle of crimson liquid, flowing down my fingers into the deep pool beneath me.
Immediately, Li Haixuan turned his head and looked at the centipede tattoo behind him as if he were nothing.
Almost less than ten breaths after taking the antidote.
The black, hideous centipede pattern quickly shrank at a rate visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a black patch the size of an egg, which shrank at the location of his tail vertebrae.
This is a sign that toxicity is under control.
The centipede tattoo is the outward manifestation of the poison in which he said.
Over time, the effect of the antidote fades and it grows again.
The day this tattoo grows down his vertebrae and into his brain will be Li Haixuan's death.
The only thing to be thankful for is that at least Li Haixuan is still useful to the sect behind him at present, and he will not cut off the antidote.
"The retreat has begun." Restraining his mood, Li Haixuan no longer thought about the antidote, and the top priority was to retreat and cultivate to improve his strength to the peak of the five chakras.
It's not just because of the experience assessment after five months.
Only when he shows enough, let the organization behind him realize that he still has use value, can Li Haixuan ensure his safety.
What revenge is based on the premise that you are still alive.
Call! Close your eyes and concentrate on it.
As Li Haixuan pinched the trick with both hands and ran the candle yin gong exercises, the aura in the cold pool of the entire mountain spring valley was mobilized again.
Dense aura poured out from the deep pool, enveloping Li Haixuan.
Li Haixuan's retreat was insignificant to the Lanyue Gate, and it still did not stop operating.
Of course, the organization behind him is even more impossible to stop.
In Li Haixuan's retreat for less than a month and a half.
Two major events happened at Lanyuemen.
The most talented person in this batch of new disciples, the one named Zhao Lie, a young man with seven-rank qualifications.
After receiving a letter from his original family, he was ambushed on the way back to his family, and Zhao Lie was nowhere to be found.
For Lanyuemen, the loss of a disciple with seventh-grade qualifications is undoubtedly a huge loss.
Although there have been disciples of the sect who have died outside the door before, they are not worth the loss of a genius disciple with seventh-grade qualifications, you must know that Wu Malin, who is known as the first day of the outer gate, is only an eight-grade qualification.
The high-level leaders of Lanyue Gate were extremely angry, and ordered the inner gate law enforcement team to strictly investigate the matter, and heard that a deputy hall master of the law enforcement hall was also dispatched, a strong person of that status, even if it was placed in Qingmangzhou, it was an existence that should not be underestimated, and for the outer disciples, it was even more behemoth.
And then there is this group of new disciples, a female disciple named Jian Su.
When he was practicing in the Zongmen Cave Mansion late at night, the magic circle in the Cave Mansion was attacked.
It seems that someone is trying to force through the defenses of the formation and attack her.
But fortunately, the formation was strong enough, and although it was seriously damaged, it also lasted until the arrival of his brother Jian Bai Ape, which frightened the intruders, and Jian Su was unscathed.
But these two things made the atmosphere of the entire sect inexplicably tense.
It may also be because the impact of this incident is too great, and the force hidden in the shadows has chosen to lurk in a low-key manner.
Although Jian Su did not die, at least Zhao Lie had been cleared by them, and as far as this matter was concerned, they had already won the victory.
However, as an indirect participant in these things, Li Haixuan didn't know.
His retreat was two full months.
