Volume 1 The Sword of the Son of Heaven Chapter 61 The Old Man in the Belly of the Snake
About the time of tea, Yun Que fell on a deserted river.
In the center of the river, a golden shadow is swimming under the water, it is the golden python.
Since there was no fighting, the river was clear, and the scales of the golden python were very conspicuous in the sun.
Yun Que picked up a stone and threw it towards the center of the river, making a string of water floats.
The stone slashed right across the water above the golden python's head.
The golden python, which was not lightly injured, was immediately furious, shook its head and tail, and rushed towards the shore.
It turned out to be a snack without any surprise.
The blind snake released by Yun Que swallowed it in one gulp, leaving only a small tail to flick outside, and then hung down weakly.
In front of the mountain-like blind snake, the golden python is as small as an earthworm, not enough for people to eat.
The third-level demon beast and the seventh-level demon are too different from each other, and they are not at the same level at all.
After the blind snake swallowed the golden python, it wriggled and spit out a place of golden pomfret, there were more than a dozen.
That's the food that the golden python swallowed before.
Yun Que looked straight and wanted to be happy.
This blind snake is quite picky eater, and the first-class demon beast golden pomfret doesn't like to eat it.
Poof.
The blind snake finally vomited out a man!
Yun Que was taken aback, and stepped forward to check, only to see that this person was in rags, bruised, and dirty that he couldn't see his true face clearly.
I could only tell that it was a man, and there was still one breath left.
The bruised body represents the poison, and this person doesn't know how long he has been in the belly of the golden python, and he can't live when he sees it.
After the blind snake emptied the belly of the golden python, it coiled into a snake formation and did not move.
The previous hideous wound on his body had improved a lot, and it was thought that the blood clotting pill that Yun Que threw into the porcelain bottle had an effect.
After putting away the blind snake again, Yun Que first processed the golden pomfret in one place and obtained ten fish bones.
The fish bones of the silver pomfret are all refining materials, and the fish bones of the golden pomfret are more valuable, so it is good to bring them back in exchange for the sword spike, Yun Que has never seen what the sword spike of the Sword Palace looks like.
The bones of ten golden pomfret can be exchanged for a sword spike.
Then he fetched some water by the river and washed away the guy in the belly of the snake.
Most snakes are poisonous, not to mention the third-level demon beast Golden Jiao Python.
Being swallowed by a demon beast, it is difficult to think about life again, and even if it is rescued, there is little chance of survival.
Yun Que is going to take this person to a nearby village and town, find a pharmacy, leave some silver, and save him if he can, but if he can't save him, there is nothing he can do.
Since you encounter it, you can help it, and you can just point it to the end, and you can't waste time.
He is not a living bodhisattva.
Rushing through the water, the person in the snake's belly could finally see the face, it was a young man, with a neutral facial features and a scar on his right eyelid.
After seeing this person's appearance clearly, Yun Que's expression suddenly changed.
"Lan Yusheng? Brother Yusheng! ”
Yun Que never expected that he would meet an acquaintance in such an unbelievable situation.
The young man in the belly of the snake, he not only recognizes, but also is very familiar with it!
This person's name is Lan Yusheng, a few years older than Yun Que, and he is the eldest grandson of Lan Yu, the Duke of Yuguo.
The Lan family and the Yun family are world friends, Lan Yu, the Duke of Yuguo, is close friends with Yun Que's grandfather, and Lan Yusheng's father is a good friend of Yun Que's father.
In Yun Que's generation, although his father did not have much intersection with the Lan family after his father died in the war, Duke Yu would send his own grandson Lan Yu to Yanmen Town every year to bring some imperial city specialties and silver taels to Yun Que.
This year, I heard that Lan Yusheng was going to get married, and Yun Que also specially prepared a lot of congratulatory gifts, planning to congratulate him in person.
It can be said that the entire Yan Kingdom, after the Yanmen Marquis died in battle, is still willing to deal with the Yun family regardless of reputation, only the Lan family, only the Duke of Yuguo!
Yun Que and Lan Yusheng have been familiar since childhood, and the scar on the other party's right eyelid was caused by the two playing when they were children.
At that time, Lan Yusheng took Yun Que to the tree to dig out the bird's nest, accidentally fell from the tree, hit the stone and broke his head and bleed, so the two bear children were beaten well.
A childhood playmate, now dying, Yun Que picked up the blue feather sheng after being stunned, and flew away directly with the sword.
Due to the limited spiritual power, he first found a nearby mountain village, found a carriage, and hurried to the imperial city.
Along the way, Yun Que's face was terrifyingly gloomy.
Lan Yusheng actually appeared in the belly of the snake, and it was also the belly of a third-level demon beast, so the situation was really weird.
Lan Yusheng is not a monk, and he definitely won't hunt demon beasts, if it is said that he was attacked by demon beasts when he was hunting or going out to play, it would be too coincidental.
The whole thing was full of doubts, and Yun Que had no clue for a while.
If you want to know the truth, you must save Lan Yusheng.
But in the current situation, it is very difficult to save life.
Lan Yusheng only had half a breath left, and he could swallow his breath at any time.
Yun Que poured a pill of the Blood Clotting Pill into Lan Yusheng, regardless of whether it was useful or not, eat it first.
A dead horse is a live horse doctor, and it is okay to last until he enters the city, at least there are pharmacies and medical halls in the city.
Contacting the previous Foggy Mountain Tree Demon, Yun Que's doubts deepened a little.
It's a dryad again, it's a golden python again, why have there been so many monsters that have appeared near the imperial city recently?
You must know that the Sword Palace is in the Imperial City!
In fact, there were very few traces of demon beasts within a radius of a hundred miles from the Sword Palace, and even if there were, they were all caught by the disciples of the Sword Palace.
Most of the demon beasts have use value, and there are many valuable things on their bodies, such as silver pomfret and golden pomfret, which are even more valuable.
If it's not a wild monster, then there's only one possibility.
Artificial!
In fact, the most suspicious is Qian Yusleeve.
It was she who had accumulated half a month's worth of silver pomfret on the cliff, so much so that a large number of golden pomfret appeared in the mission of the North Courtyard and thus became dangerous.
But Yun Que only flashed Qian Yusleeve's name in his mind, and he was immediately eliminated by him.
Qian Yusleeve, like Xue Ziyi, was a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and it was unlikely that she would dare to raise a third-level demon beast.
Although Qian Yuchong is to blame for the catastrophe in the North Courtyard this time, she should not be the mastermind behind the Golden Python and the White Bones of the Foggy Mountains.
A foundation building disciple doesn't have that much energy.
Yun Que finally came up with a name in his mind.
Zodiac ......
He guessed that the golden python was the same as the white bones of the Foggy Mountains, and it was related to the zodiac!
It seems that what these guys are plotting is even more terrible than they expected, and Yun Que is secretly frightened.
He thought that the Zodiac was going to deal with a certain elder in the Sword Palace, or in order to destroy the Sword Palace, since Lan Yusheng was swallowed alive by the Golden Jiao Python, he involved Yu Guogong, and the conspiracy behind this became confusing and difficult to guess.
Soon the carriage entered the imperial city.
Finding a large pharmacy closest to the city gate, Yun Que walked in with Lan Yusheng on his back, and threw down a hundred taels of silver tickets with his hand raised.
"I want you to be the best Langzhong, quick!"
Oh, a white-bearded old man walked out quickly, only glanced at the patient, and immediately waved his hand again and again.
"Poison gas to the heart! The old decay is not good at learning and art, and it really can't be cured, so it is better for Your Excellency to ask for another master. ”
Lao Langzhong has been practicing medicine for many years, and he can see at a glance that the patient is highly poisoned, and he is left to hang with half a breath, not to mention him, the gods are difficult to save, how dare he be treated.
This man is hopeless.
Yun Que didn't say a word, turned his head and left with Lan Yusheng on his back.
Since Lao Langzhong said that he couldn't be saved, it would be a waste of time to find other doctors in the city.
Yun Que originally planned to send Lan Yusheng back to the Yuguo Mansion, but after thinking about it, he directly changed his route back to the Sword Palace.
Not only because the Sword Palace is closer, but also because there is hope in the Sword Palace to save Lan Yusheng.
Elixir!
In today's situation, only the symptomatic elixir can hope to save Lan Yusheng's life, even if he returns to the Yuguo Mansion, he can't change the fate of Lan Yusheng's imminent death.
