Chapter 57: Destroying the Scorpion
Because the reputation of the Miaojiang Merchant Group is very great, when Seth and Luier finished packing up and planned to go together to see the situation of Fengwu, Ouyang Yu had already told Cheng Yuxi the place where the Miaojiang Merchant Group temporarily lived.
Ouyang Yu seemed to be very distrustful of these two desert people, and there was a piece of sorrow between his eyebrows, and he said: "Miss Cheng, please be careful, the people in the desert are said to be very dangerous!" ”
Cheng Yuxi nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Thank you, Mr. Ouyang, don't sell the pills we brought over this time, store them in the warehouse, if I guess correctly, the auction of this treasure hunt will be reopened in a short time." ”
Although Ouyang Yu didn't quite understand why Cheng Yuxi said this, he still believed in Cheng Yuxi, so he nodded.
Zhao Ziyi counted the pills he brought out this time in the back warehouse, so when he hurried to Cheng Yuxi's room and planned to carefully knock Cheng Yuxi to tell her not to be so presumptuous, what he saw was Tang Xi with a weak face on the bed, and a maid who was responsible for taking care of Tang Xi next to him.
Cheng Yuxi arranged a carriage, and the three of them sat on the carriage, and it didn't take long for them to come to the inn where the Miao Jiang merchant group rested.
This inn is bigger than Cheng Yuxi's residence, it is splendid, there are people coming and going in the lobby, and there is even a storyteller who tells impassioned stories on the high platform, which is shocking and loud, attracting applause from the whole house.
Xiao Er in the lobby saw Cheng Yuxi and the two blonde and blue-eyed people behind her, her face changed, and she hurriedly rushed over to stop them, and then asked, "These masters...... You see my lobby is full, why don't you go to another house? ”
Cheng Yuxi frowned and glanced at the shopkeeper in front of him, and then said, "We're not here to eat." ”
"Our housing is also full." The shopkeeper cautiously looked at the two expressionless desert people behind her, and then said, "I think you have also heard that this famous Miaojiang business group lives in our small shop!" ”
Cheng Yuxi nodded, and then said, "Well, I came to find the head of the Miaojiang Business Group." ”
The shopkeeper froze for a moment.
After a while, Cheng Yuxi followed behind Zhaohuang and said, "Fengwu is in a coma like this, and there is no sign of waking up?" ”
Zhao Huang's face was very ugly, he sighed slightly, and then said: "Gu worms don't listen to us at all, as if they are dead, but the mother Gu is obviously fine." ”
Seth didn't quite understand what Zhao Huang was saying, he had never entered such a luxurious inn, so he was fascinated by the dazzling decorations on both sides of the inn's corridors, and almost hit Louyle's back.
Louyle glanced back at Seth calmly, and the meaning was obvious: Don't embarrass me.
Seth glared at him angrily.
Zhaohuang gently pushed open the door of the room in front of him, and then said in a low voice: "Miss Cheng, please come in, this is it." ”
Cheng Yuxi nodded, then turned to Seth and said, "The wind and fog are inside, you can hurry up and see if there is any way." ”
Seth nodded and followed Cheng Yuxi into the room.
It was a very elegant suite, with a small hall outside, and a bedroom further inside, where the wind and mist lay very quietly on the bed, and if it weren't for her pale face, it would have looked like she had fallen asleep at first glance.
Cheng Yuxi couldn't help but feel a little sour when she saw this kind of wind and mist, she gently touched Feng Wu's cold face, and then whispered: "Wind and mist......"
Seth also came over, he carefully looked at Fengmist's eyelids and pulse, and then turned his head and asked Zhaohuang, "How long has the poison on her body?" ”
"Ten years." Zhao Huang replied with a gloomy face.
Seth sneered, then said, "Ten years? I'm afraid this poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, unless it is reborn, otherwise the gods will not be able to save her! ”
After hearing Seth's merciless words, Zhao Huang looked very calm, and he said lightly: "We have been using a highly poisonous Zi Gu to balance each other with the poison in the wind mist's body, not to mention that it can last for another three years, but now the Zi Gu in her body has completely lost contact with the mother Gu after listening to the sound of the desert deep sea flute." ”
"Fighting poison with poison?" As if he had never heard of such a thing, Seth thought seriously for a while, and then said: "The sound of the desert deep sea flute has two effects on some evil things, one is to stimulate them to make them more violent, and the other is to make these things completely quiet. Every yin and evil thing reacts differently when it hears the sound of the flute, and the Zi Gu you put into her body should belong to the second type. ”
"And can your Desert Flame Flute wake her up?" Cheng Yuxi asked anxiously.
"Naturally, it's okay, but ......" Seth looked at Cheng Yuxi seriously, and then said: "Even if she is woken up, she can only wake up temporarily, you also heard this man say that Zigu can support it for another three years, so what should I do after three years?" ”
"It is a good thing to fight poison with poison, but it is also your biggest problem to treat the symptoms but not the root cause." Louyle said lightly beside him.
Cheng Yuxi is also very difficult to deal with even the poison on Feng Mist's body, but she often worked with pills in the last three days before she was reborn, and she has also heard of a lot of various poisons, because after some poisons are made into medicinal materials, they will exert great power, thinking of this, Cheng Yuxi asked: "Dare to ask Lord Zhaohuang, how much do you know about this poison in Feng Mist's body so far?" Can you tell me everything? ”
Zhaohuang also trusts Cheng Yuxi because of the wind and fog, and after hearing Cheng Yuxi's words, he thought for a while, and then said: "When Fengwu was six years old, our clan once encountered a ground movement, and an ancient ruins that had been buried for a long time in the deep mountains appeared like this. ”
Ancient ruins? Cheng Yuxi frowned without a trace when he heard this word, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, Zhao Huang continued: "At that time, there was a child who lifted a stone with a strange pattern carved into it, and then a lot of black scorpions ran out from below, and those scorpions turned to ashes the moment they touched the sun, and the scorpions under the shadow of the stone were intact, they were frightened, and rushed towards a small child, and the wind and mist quickly pushed the child aside, and they were bitten by the scorpion. ”
Speaking of this, Zhaohuang's expression became very heavy, and he said: "The first few days were fine, but after three days, I suddenly fell into a coma, and an elderly doctor in the clan came up with this method after seeing the wind and mist, and we have been using it until now." ”
"Have you figured out anything about that ancient ruin?" Cheng Yuxi hurriedly asked.
Since it's poison from the ancient ruins, maybe you can get a little clue from the ancient ruins?
As a result, Zhaohuang shook his head and said in a low voice: "No, that ruin seems to have appeared out of thin air, and we can't understand the words on it at all, and those scorpions that hurt Fengwu before don't know where to flee." ”
"A scorpion that turns to ashes when it encounters sunlight?" Seth frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "I've never heard of this kind of thing, is it some rare scorpion?" ”
"I don't know if the genus belongs to the scorpion." Zhao Huang said: "Because the environment in our clan is relatively humid, there are many things like scorpions and spiders, and there are many medicines to treat related poisons, but they are all useless in the face of wind and mist. ”
Cheng Yuxi's expression was very solemn, she frowned and looked at Fengmist's pale face, after thinking for a while, she gently turned over the comatose Fengwu, and then pulled away her soft long black hair, So I saw that on her snow-white neck, there was a dark blue tattoo the size of a baby's palm, which at first glance looked like a bird with wings about to fly, but after a closer look, she found that it was a pattern composed of countless petals.
Really.
Cheng Yuxi's fingertips gently stroked the pattern almost tremblingly, and his heart was cold: Why? Why is that stuff here?
Zhaohuang didn't expect that there would be such a thing behind Fengmist's neck, and for a while, he said in shock: "Miss Cheng, what is that?" ”
"Markup." Cheng Yuxi slowly withdrew his hand, put the wind mist back to its normal appearance, and then said: "People who have been attacked by the Ming Annihilation Scorpion will have such a mark. ”
"Bright scorpion? What is that? Seth seemed to be very interested in the mark on the back of Fengmist's neck, and he leaned closer to take another look, but was stopped by Cheng Yuxi.
"The scorpion is a kind of poison, usually lives in a cold and dark place, once it comes into contact with the sun, it will turn into ashes, and its ashes are also highly toxic after treatment, but the most poisonous is the scorpion itself, the person who is stung by the scorpion will pass out, and then the internal organs will fester, until death."
Cheng Yuxi said lightly, "In addition, a small piece of blue petals will appear on the back of the neck of the person who is attacked, and this petal will gradually change into the shape of a bird with wings spread out in unison with the degree of ulceration of the person's facial features. ”
