Chapter 174: Five Flowers Tied Up
However, Lin Pingzhi's plan did not go as planned. Out of shyness or other mixed emotions, the two women did not agree. In desperation, Lin Pingzhi could only give each of them a musket and a few thunderbolts that he had snatched from others, and then left silently. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell them to be careful, and then went out on a trip, promising to return before dawn.
The purpose of his trip was obviously to observe the movements of the flower-picking duo.
Lin Pingzhi, who followed all the way, watched these two guys run into a temple with a little banter. He wondered if they had reformed themselves.
When he quietly approached the temple and saw the name of the temple, he quietly entered without thinking much about it. The temple is located in a remote area, and the structure of the temple shows that it is rarely frequented by pilgrims, because the stone pillars on both sides of the temple are old and the doors of the main hall are not closed. Lin Pingzhi walked in, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: If it is in the future life, there will definitely be people here who collect tickets or sell incense and candles. In ancient times, there were always more simple times, and there were not as many people who made money as in modern society.
Walk into the temple, only to see that the environment is clean and tidy, there are several tea trees and plane trees planted in the courtyard, and in the middle of the main hall is enshrined a white-clothed Guanyin, this Guanyin statue is beautiful, solemn and with three points of beauty.
When Lin Pingzhi heard this "rustling" sound, he immediately hid vigilantly to the side. He wondered, at such a late hour, could there be still monks cultivating?
However, the truth is not as he thinks. He soon discovered that Tian Boguang and Yun Zhonghe were talking to a nun sweeping the floor. Lin Pingzhi took a closer look, this nun looked a little strange, but he couldn't say what was strange.
Their conversation made Lin Pingzhi discover the clue - this nun turned out to be a monk in disguise! This nun was about forty or fifty years old, and she was talking to the cranes in the clouds.
I heard Tian Boguang laugh and said, "It turned out to be Lord Tian, please come with me." ”
Lin Ping was stunned, Lord Tian? Did Tian Boguang take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty? He had to figure out what was going on.
So, Lin Pingzhi quietly followed Tian Boguang and the two of them and came to a side hall to sit down. Soon a nun offered tea. The more Lin Pingzhi looked at it, the more strange it became, these two people were quite good at enjoying it.
saw the two of them open the lid of the bowl, and suddenly a fragrant fragrance reached Lin Pingzhi. He looked at it, and the bowl was green, and he felt slightly strange because there was nothing strange about this tea leaf, why was it so fragrant?
Just as I was surprised, I saw a few nuns holding trays and presenting them, these pastries were all in the Manchu and Han tables, because it was not easy to eat in the previous life, let alone this ancient time when resources were scarce.
The first nun walked up with a plate of imperial bean yore, which was one of the "four kinds of gluttony" of the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquet "Mongolian family feast"; In the second nun's tray is the jujube mud cake, which is also one of the "four products" of the "Mongolian Relatives Banquet" of the Manchu and Han Dynasty; The third nun tray is a ruyi roll, one of the "two products" of the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquet "Mongolian relatives feast"; The fourth nun tray is glutinous rice cake. One of the "four products" of the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquet "Nine White Banquet"; The fifth nun tray is one of the "four kinds of gluttony" of the two-color horseshoe cake in the "Thousand Suo Banquet" of the Manchurian and Han Dynasty; The sixth nun tray is the golden cake, also known as the Beijing cake, the hawthorn cake, one of the "four products" of the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquet "longevity banquet".
The more Lin Pingzhi looked at it now, the more strange it became, because after these nuns offered snacks, they withdrew. Then the old nun from before walked in and lit a copper incense burner in this side hall, and soon a wisp of green smoke rose from it, and smelling this fragrance also made Lin Pingzhi feel a little relaxed.
Lin Pingzhi was also a little hungry in his belly, and seeing the two people in the hall eating with relish, he unconsciously swallowed a few saliva.
Just when he was thinking about whether to steal something, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and walked in a female nun who looked to be thirty or forty years old. His voice was soft, soft, and pleasant.
This nun was wearing a pale yellow plain robe, and her appearance was even more beautiful. No wonder the two brothers came here to target other nuns.
Soon I saw that a banquet was set up below, and during the banquet, this beautiful nun kept adding food and pouring wine for these two brothers, and she looked very attentive, watching them eat and drink for a while.
In the dream, Lin Pingzhi is in an environment full of delicious food. His face was filled with a joyful smile, as if surrounded by a pleasant atmosphere. However, this beautiful feeling is fleeting, as if falling from mid-air.
As he struggled to wake up, he found himself restrained. He woke up in an instant and found himself in the dark. Only a short distance away, two torches flickered in the light of the jumping fire. He immediately understood his situation - he was plotted!
A surge of anger and remorse welled up in Lin Ping's heart. He blamed himself for underestimating the enemy and ignoring the potential danger. He began to worry about the safety of Su Quan and Liu Ruye, who were likely the masterminds of this trap. He was now bound by the internal force and was completely unable to resist.
Looking around, Lin Pingzhi found that the dungeon was clean and tidy, with solid stone walls on all sides, only an iron door, and a window above the iron door. He lay in the shape of large letters, his hands and feet were shackled with strong iron shackles.
Just as Lin Pingzhi was thinking about getting out, there was a "squeak" sound of the iron door, and five people walked in. One was a female nun dressed in red, the other was a strange man in a green robe with an iron rod in his hand, and three were his old acquaintances—Yun Zhonghe, Tian Boguang, and the short and fat scissorhands.
Lin Pingzhi's mood fell from shock to trough in the sudden change. The five people in front of him are none other than the notorious four wicked people plus a Tian Boguang, and the strange fragrance he smelled just now is probably the treacherous "sad and crisp breeze".
It is described in the original work that this sad and crisp breeze is a colorless and tasteless poisonous gas, and the poisoned person is like rain of tears, which is called "sadness", and the whole body cannot move, which is called "crisp", and the poisonous gas is invisible and odorless, and it is called "fresh wind". The production process requires collecting poisons from the snowy mountains, refining them into water, and usually putting them in bottles. When they use it, their own people have already pre-stuffed the antidote, which can be mixed with various items, and this poisonous gas is colorless and odorless, even the most astute people cannot detect it. When his eyes were stinging, the poisonous gas had rushed into his head.
"It seems that we have to find a wonderful thing that can cure all kinds of poisons afterwards. Although he is now strong in martial arts, he can still resist ordinary poisons, but if he encounters strange poisons, he can't resist them. I have to say that Lin Pingzhi can still think crankily now, although he has learned the Huangting Neijing, he has not studied it in depth, and only remembered to check it when he took it. ”
Duan Yanqing, who was walking in the front, couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw that Lin Pingzhi didn't panic in the slightest. At this time, I saw that his lips were tightly closed, and a hoarse laugh came out of his abdomen: "I didn't expect Lin Gongzi to be so extraordinary, and the poison in his body can be so calm." ”
Several other big villains also looked at Lin Pingzhi in unison. Lin Pingzhi smiled loudly and said, "Hehe, the matter has come to this, and it is useless to resist, so why bother to ask for hardship?" ”
"I really didn't expect Lin Gongzi to be so open-minded, and it is really an honor for Duan to meet today." Duan Yanqing also opened his mouth and laughed.
"Lin also admires a few people for setting up such a scheme to lure me into a trap. But I still have one thing to ask, I wonder what happened to the other people in this temple? ”
Hearing him say this, Duan Yanqing's originally suspicious eyes suddenly relieved. As long as the opponent hits the "sad crisp breeze"! And he was relieved. Although he didn't think that Lin Pingzhi's strength was very strong, being able to subdue Tian Boguang and Yun Zhonghe alone did make him have to be careful. That's why we have today's scene. So, he immediately said: "Although Duan has done all kinds of evil, he is not a murderer, and this temple was an empty temple before. ”
After getting this reply, Lin Pingzhi was no longer worried. He glanced outside through the iron door, making sure that he hadn't been poisoned for a long time. Obviously, they came for themselves, in order to find an antidote. So, he snorted coldly: "If there is any way, you can draw it out." ”
Since Lin Gongzi is so straightforward, Duan Mou said it bluntly. These two are the three corpse brain divine pills that have been hit by Your Excellency. Why don't we make a deal, how about you hand over the antidote today, and I let you go? ”
Hearing Duan Yanqing say this, Lin Pingzhi's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He knew it was a problem. Duan Yanqing is an extremely secretive and murderous figure in the martial arts, known for his ruthlessness and unrighteousness. Obviously, it was not a wise move to make a deal with him. However, if he doesn't trade, he can't raise half of his internal strength now. It seems that it can only be a gamble. However, what he used as a bet was not an antidote - as early as in the battle of the palace, the antidote given to him by Dongfang Yue was thrown out by him as a secret weapon. Now he only has the bottle of "Leopard Fetal Yijin Pill" that Su Quan gave him just now.
This medicine is completely different from the Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill. There are three kinds of corpse insects in the Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill, and there is no abnormality after taking them, but at noon of the Duanyang Festival every year, if you don't take the antidote to restrain the corpse insects in time, the corpse insects will come out; The "Leopard Fetus Yijin Pill" is different, from another point of view, this drug is not only not a poison but also a drug that can promote potential.
It was mentioned in the original book that the leopard fetus Yijin Pill is a miracle medicine made from a variety of rare medicinal materials such as leopard fetus, deer fetus, purple river car, and fur dog kidney. Hong Antong originally developed this drug with the aim of delaying aging, but after others tried it, the effect of the drug was not as obvious as expected, but the original characteristics of the human body were reversed. Taking this medicine for a year, it can enhance people's physique, but if the antidote is not taken after the expiration of one year, the strong toxicity will explode. The text describes that in just three months, the fat Venerable's body suddenly elongated by three feet, and the skin of his whole body appeared stained with blood. And the Thin Venerable was originally tall, but suddenly became shorter, he was originally thin, but he became swollen, and completely became a big fat man.
Therefore, using this medicine as an antidote can also bluff them for a while.
