Chapter 432 The Poison of the Green Ridge
The sunshine in spring is always gentle and warm.
After the baptism of successive storms, the gentle and warm spring color of Jiangning County was mostly blown away by the rain and wind, even if it was close to noon, it was still bleak and desolate.
A man with silver hair, a tall body, and a short-sleeved robe of Xuanqing came in the dust, stepping into the chrysanthemum garden and entering the Taoran Pavilion in the bleak spring.
There was an old man in the pavilion as usual, but the old man was not as majestic as usual, with a single coat and a big coat to shelter from the wind and cold, revealing a little tired.
"Uncle. The silver-haired man bowed slightly.
Unable to see the other person he hoped to see beside him, a trace of worry flashed in the old man's bloodshot eyes, and his loose and wrinkled eyelids blinked slightly, and his cloudy pupils were bright again.
The old man has always been polite to his friends, and when he saw that the visitor had no intention of sitting, he went straight to the topic and said, "Is the dust okay?"
The person who came was naturally Feng who returned from Jiang Yichen's side.
Feng shook his head, he was always tense on the way back, and at this time, because he didn't know how to explain to the old man's horizontal eyebrows, he clenched his fists and said ashamedly: "I don't know whether to live or die." ”
The old man also shook his head.
Feng shook his head because he failed to bring Jiang Yichen back, or even bring back the exact situation related to Jiang Yichen, while the old man shook his head to persuade his friend not to blame him for this matter.
Five days ago, the martial arts conference of Baihuayu in Pinghai County, from the beginning of the morning to the twilight of the chaos, the imperial court for the first time in nearly 20 years intervened in the disputes in the rivers and lakes, and tried to take the opportunity of this chaos to weaken the major powerful gangs in the rivers and lakes and revitalize the majesty of the imperial court, so in the middle of the night, the night sky was still reflected by the sword light and sword shadows.
The vitality of the Zhongzhou rivers and lakes in the Hundred Flowers Conference was greatly injured, as a member of the Zhongzhou rivers and lakes, and the Daoyi League, which participated in the conference as an invitee, naturally did not avoid the disaster of the pond fish, and the old man and Han Wuyue who attended the meeting in person were invited to Shaolin and Wudang to cooperate with the people of the Yuge to fight a bloody way to get out.
It was also yesterday afternoon that the old man returned to Jiangning Juyuan.
In the past few days, thousands of pairs of eyes have been paying attention to the situation in Pinghai County, as well as the movements in the garrison of several gangs, and the old man does not dare to relax a little, and about Jiang Yichen's matter, although the old man has never asked, he has never been less worried in his heart.
He knew very well the child's temperament, and knew that the child would inevitably be emotional, and might make inappropriate choices at inappropriate times, especially after practicing the "Yin Feng Gong" that was beneficial to himself but had a little demonic nature, the child's emotions were even more difficult to control.
Therefore, he tried his best to arrange the things he could, such as withdrawing from the Yuge and the others in time, and the danger of the scattered people, and even entrusting the strong man of the Yuluo Department to take him away if something happened, just to protect the child.
I didn't know that something went wrong.
The separation from the Netherworld Sect is still under control, but Yin Li's appearance has really pushed the kid to a place that is intolerable in the world, at least those people present will not tolerate him easily, I am afraid that he will have to pull his muscles and skin before he can be allowed to live in the world.
Of course, the old man did not see the matter of Yin Li's sneak attack on Jiang Yichen with his own eyes, what he can be sure of is that after Yin Li's sneak attack succeeded, Jiang Yichen not only killed him but also did not die, and there were many rumors on the rivers and lakes after that, he had no intention of listening to it, he had been waiting for a certain message, that is, the information brought by Feng.
But now, Feng has not been able to bring back such a certain information, the old man knows that there must be the child's own will, but he can't help but feel a little bitter in his heart, a little astringent in his mouth, and only after a long time can he re-speak: "He jumped off the Yin-Yang Bridge?"
Feng said that Jiang Yichen didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and the only thing that could make Feng helpless on Baihuayu Island was the Yin-Yang Bridge that could cut off life and death.
"Yes. Feng thought for a moment, but decided to tell the story of the day, so that he could teach the old man to have an accurate judgment, "The thief surnamed Yin is very well prepared in order to deal with Xiao Jiang, and his methods are very vicious. ”
"I heard that the poisons that Yin Li prepared that day were all poisons that sealed his throat with blood, but those poisons failed to kill the dust. ”
"That's true. ”
"The Netherworld Sect's Ten Thousand Poison Tomb has the effect of washing the marrow and refining the body, if it weren't for Chen'er who had said it to me personally, I wouldn't have had to suffer so much before practicing Yin Feng Gong. Since they have endured those sufferings and have been baptized by thousands of poisons, how can the dust be easily poisoned? ”
"I see...... But the thief came prepared, although the poison was not fatal, it caused great consumption to Xiao Jiang, especially the blind sand left by the thief in the last hand, Xiao Jiang's eyes seemed to be unable to resist the poison. ”
"Obscures sand, obscured sand...... Hey, that thing is still there. ”
"Xiao Jiang's eyes can still be saved?"
"Although it has been a long time, there should still be a record of the treatment in the medicine valley. According to you, when the court shoots a rain of arrows, Chen'er should be powerless to save himself. ”
"I rescued him while the arrows were falling, and asked him if he wanted to return to the Righteous League or follow me to the north. ”
"He has his own choice?"
"Yes. ”
"Under the Yin-Yang Bridge?"
"Yes. ”
"Why bother?"
"When I took him to the bridge, he hadn't made a final decision, and I felt that it was worth convincing, who knows......"
"What happened!?"
Those people chased after him, and Xiao Jiang knew that those people were only coming for him, and he didn't want to drag me down, so he fell off the bridge. ”
"How many?"
"Thirteen people. ”
"Do you remember their faces?"
"None of them fell. On the way to Juyuan, I have confirmed their identities and handed over the list to Mr. Han. ”
"Good. ”
At this point in the conversation, Feng had already intended to leave, and solemnly gave a second fist salute to the old man, and said, "I'll go and get Xiao Jiang back, or, kill those thirteen people." ”
The old man shook his head for the second time and said, "Wait." ”
Feng said: "What else does the old man have to explain?"
The old man said: "It is not an overnight thing to find people from under the Yin-Yang Bridge. Patriarch Mu needs you more, don't miss a big thing because Chen'er is alone, I will send a more suitable person to confirm Chen'er's situation, if Chen'er's life is exhausted, this revenge will be avenged by you and me, but if Chen'er is blessed with a great life, I think he is more willing to do it himself. ”
......
......
"Kunlun realm west to the north, not to the poison Zhu country, its terrain is high and the clouds are level, more than 1,000 miles from east to west, more than 100 miles from north to south, the narrow place is not more than 10 miles, from the bottom to the top, its land is like a continuous green mountain, so the name is the green ridge. ”
"The cold wind on the green ridge is bitter, the snow flies in spring and summer, the wind drifts day and night, the ground alkali halogen, many gravels, the planting is not nourishing, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and those who live on it for generations are not suitable for survival. Therefore, although it is a choke point, neither Zhongzhou nor Poison Zhu has been able to completely divide the Green Ridge into its territory for a long time. ”
"There were two nomadic tribes who lived in the Green Mountains for generations, one was the Baili tribe active in the eastern part of the Green Mountains and had contacts with Zhongzhou, and the other was the Nayi tribe, who had lived in the western part of the Green Mountains for a long time and were closer to the poison Zhu. ”
"With the size of the green ridge, the two tribes live at one end, and they are not incompatible. It's just that the plateau is a million hectares, there are hundreds of rivers in the air, and every autumn and winter must be frozen three feet, but there are 100 acres of big dragon pond in the middle of the land where no grass grows, the water is sweet and the fish is fat, and it is not frozen all year round. ”
"Water can be obtained by chiseling ice, but the water obtained in this way cannot meet the needs of people and animals to drink anytime and anywhere. Therefore, the Baili and Nayi ethnic groups graze cattle and sheep in the east and west in spring and summer, and in autumn and winter, they all go to the edge of Dalong Pond and live by water. ”
"When the number of people is still small, the big dragon pond is enough to feed the two tribes and the cattle and sheep, and they are safe, but with the number of the two tribes and the increasing number of the two tribes, the big dragon pool is gradually embarrassed, in order to compete for enough people to survive the autumn and winter seasons, the two tribes finally wield knives against each other. ”
"The autumn and winter battles between the two tribes were won and lost at the beginning, and the losing side, after enduring half a year of starvation, did not collapse because of this, and was always able to regain the possession of Dalongchi for half a year with more determination and momentum in the following year. ”
"Hunger is not easy to overcome, and many people die of hunger every time, and the two tribes will always find a way to win, or by stocking up on food in advance in case they go hungry. ”
"The Baili tribe has excellent eyesight, is good at archery, and learns from the interior of Zhongzhou, making the bow and arrow more exquisite, and it is easy to wear Yangyang for a hundred miles. ”
"The Nayi tribe is psychic, good at beasts, and has learned a lot of beast control techniques from Poison Zhu, but it is difficult to advance an inch in front of the arrows of the Baili tribe. ”
"The Baili tribe can always take the Great Dragon Pool for three or five years in a row, and if the Nayi tribe does not prepare for war early in the late summer and autumn, I am afraid that it will be difficult to drink the water of the Great Dragon Pool. ”
"Because of the difficulty of eating, the Nayi tribe is declining year by year, and seeing that it will be difficult to defeat the Baili tribe in the long run, the Nayi tribe finally asked for a way to defeat the Baili tribe in one fell swoop from the Poison Zhu Country-Blind Sand. ”
"I heard that this blind sand is a kind of poisonous Gu that a certain tribe of the Poison Zhu Country that is good at applying Gu has developed for several years according to the director of the Baili tribe, and for this poisonous Gu, the Nayi tribe has paid a lot of price, and it is also after this tribe has been cultivated for many years before bringing this poisonous Gu back to the Green Mountains. ”
"At the end of the summer of a certain year, the Nayi tribe sent out dozens of people, day and night to hide around the Baili tribe station, every time the wind rises, it is convenient to cast barrier sand in the upwind direction, so that it drifts into the Baili tribe station with the wind, after entering the early autumn, sure enough, nearly half of the people of the Baili tribe are visually damaged, and many people have black eyes and cannot see, and they are defeated and returned to the east. ”
"The Baili tribe thought it was caused by an eye disease, but after careful investigation, it was learned that it was the Nayi tribe Shi Gu, and the Baili clan chief was furious, and at the winter solstice of that year, he led the entire tribe to kill the big dragon pond and killed all the Nayi tribes!"
"At this point, there is no Nayi tribe in the green mountains, but the disaster left by the Nayi tribe has also greatly damaged the vitality of the Baili tribe. In order to cure the poison of the sand, the Baili tribe had to go deep into Zhongzhou to seek medical treatment, and it was not until five years later that the first person was successfully cured with the strength of several great doctors. ”
The Baili tribe also brought the successful prescription back to the Green Ridge, and according to the prescription, he washed his eyes once a day, and he could regain his sight after ten days. ”
The story Leng Mei told was very long, but the result was obviously good, Jiang Yichen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it, ten days is really not a long time for him now.
It's just that Leng Mei's tone suddenly changed, and he said in confusion: "The extermination of the Nayi tribe happened a hundred years ago, who did you offend to come up with the sand to harm you?"
