Chapter 30: The Poison of the Attached Bone

Liu Ji continued: "The second volume of "Qimen Dunjia" mainly focuses on the establishment of various organs and the methods for cracking them, as well as the Five Elements Escape Method. Because the cultivation process of the Five Elements is too cumbersome and long, and there are many dangers, there are worries about life when moving, and some practice methods are even very cruel to cultivators, so they have been lost in Middle-earth for many years, but in the Tang Dynasty, Abe Zhongma Lu sent people back to Dongying, but it was carried forward in Japan, called ninjutsu, and developed many schools. But the study of institutions is your top priority, and you will know the reason for this later. The book in my hand is no longer an antiquity, it should be a hand-copied thing of the Song Dynasty, and it has added a lot on the basis of the original work, which is very practical, and I also have a detailed annotation on it, you must study it carefully, and you must not slack off. ”

Lan Yue wrapped the booklet in a towel, hid it in her arms, and said to Liu Ji: "Mr. teachings, Lan Yue will not forget." ”

Liu Ji nodded with satisfaction at first, then shook his head, frowned, and asked, "After you wrapped the book just now, when you were about to put it in your arms, there was a very short pause, do you know?

Lan Yue shook her head and said, "I didn't feel any pause, everything was normal. Is there something wrong?"

Liu Ji said: "If you don't feel anything and don't know that there has been a pause in the movement, then you may be in trouble!"

Looking at Lan Yue's puzzled expression, Liu Ji explained: "When you were in a coma, when I cleaned and bandaged your wounds, I found that there was a faint palm print on your chest. The color of the palm print is very unusual, generally speaking, the marks left by the outer kung fu fist are red and purple, and the palm print left by the inner fist is mostly blue-gray or black. And although the palm print in you is very faint and disappears as soon as you open your arms to the wind, I clearly remember that it was a colorful palm print!"

Liu Ji paused, as if recalling something, and then continued: "Who was the person you fought with before you fell into the water?

Lan Yue replied, "The only one who fights with me is Zhu Bai, the Overlord Sword Zhu Bai. I didn't feel any harm at the time, and I even used the power of my palm to escape. ”

Liu Ji shook his head again and said, "No, when you were unconscious, I gave you a pulse after seeing this, and there was indeed a trace of toxin that invaded the bone marrow from the skin to the tendons. This is strange, as far as I know, this palm method is a vicious palm method handed down from the far north in ancient times, the person who practices the palm first feeds five kinds of poisonous living creatures with several poisonous weeds, and then drives the five kinds of poisonous living creatures to fight and devour each other, and finally the surviving poison is called the poison king. Cultivators extract the poisonous juice from the poison king's body every day and apply it to their palms to practice. Because the poisons raised and the poisonous weeds fed are different, the toxicity is also different, which means that no one can make an antidote except himself. I don't know how this Zhu Bai, who was far away in Nanjing, Jiangsu, could have cultivated this kind of palm technique? As far as I know, the person who practiced this skill has been exterminated by Chang Yuchun because he has lost all his heavenly principles, how can this be good?"

Seeing that Liu Ji was sad about this, Lan Yue comforted: "Sir, don't bother, if that's the case, Lan Yue only dies, and she doesn't have to live alone in this world." ”

Unexpectedly, when Liu Ji heard this, he changed color and said: "Don't you feel ashamed that your husband thinks of death when he encounters misfortune and blows? If it's a little difficult, you want to give up, are you worthy of the careful cultivation of your eldest brother Lan Yu for many years? Are you worthy of all the people who silently care about you and love you? Are you worthy of my eighteen years of waiting for you? Remember, death is the easiest, and living is the hardest!"

Lan Yue listened to the cold sweat, Liu Ji's short words woke up the confused Lan Yue like a morning bell, he got up and said to Liu Ji: "The lesson of Mr. is that Lan Yue will never mention that dead word again." ”

Liu Ji nodded after hearing this, motioned for him to sit down, and sighed again: "I can't completely say that you are wrong, this palm has a name called the Five Poisons Attached to the Bone Xuanyin Palm, the person in the palm is not abnormal in a short period of time, but it will gradually attack after seven hundred and forty-nine days, because the toxin only invades the bone marrow of the human spine, the muscles and internal organs of the body are not affected, but the human body will gradually lose control of the body, the limbs cannot move, can not speak, and even want to open your eyes to others to help you open your eyelids." Because just by losing control of the body, the person will not die, and the internal organs will function normally. But that's better than death!"

Lan Yue had regained her composure at this time, and asked indifferently: "Sir, a pedantic celestial, there should be a solution." ”

Liu Ji said: "Normally, you should go to Zhu Bai to ask for an antidote, but if you fall into his hands, life will be worse than death, not to mention that he will try his best to hide the things that will poison his palm." In the world, in addition to him, there is another person who may detoxify and cure diseases, but this person's whereabouts are uncertain, life and death are unknown, and it is difficult to find them. Even if you do, it is unknown whether he will be able to detoxify you. ”

Lan Yue said with a smile: "Mr. just now advised me not to die lightly, and to face things bravely, why do you sigh and worry for me at this moment?" Mr. might as well say the name of this person, I should immediately look for this person after I get here, and leave the rest to God!"

Liu Ji also smiled and said: "Okay, you Xiaoyue, but teach me a lesson!"

Lan Yue hurriedly said that he didn't dare, Liu Ji said: "Speaking of this person, he has a great relationship with me. ”

Liu Ji picked up the wine glass, and Lan Yue hurriedly drank another glass with him, and then filled it again. Liu Ji's eyes fell between the wine glasses, and slowly fell into the memory: "In the early years, when I didn't join the army, I accepted a student, who was also a child of a big family, although he was young, but he was very smart, no matter what he learned, he would learn it and never forget it. I like to read, all the sons of a hundred schools, all of them are proficient, and they are proficient in poetry and songs. At that time, my family was in Zhejiang, and this child's family was in Jiangsu, so in addition to studying at my house, he only went home twice a year. Later, after I joined the army, the two sides broke off contact. Until the early years of Hongwu, when we met again, he was already a young man, at the beginning, we were very happy to meet the master and apprentice, chatted a lot, and knew that this child has been more pragmatic in recent years, delving into astronomy and geography, organ layout, medicine and toxicology, etc., and has made good achievements. But chatting and chatting is a bit not speculative, he said that the world should not be the world of one person, saying that we should not be foolish and loyal to a certain person and a certain family, but should have the world in mind, take the benefit of the world as our own responsibility, and the throne should also be elected by the people of the world, and the virtuous people should live in it, etc. He must have been deceived by someone outside in the past few years, and I patiently persuaded him that his ideals may be correct in the future, but now they are simply unrealistic and self-deceiving. He originally wanted to persuade me to join the 'Momen', but we broke up unhappily, how can I, a Confucian student, believe in Mohist thought?"

Hearing this, Lan Yue's heart was pounding, he had already guessed who that person was, only to hear Liu Ji continue: "My student's surname is Xu Mingjing, and the words are silent. ”

Even though he had already guessed it, Lan Yue was still surprised when he heard Xu Moran's name with his own ears, how could it be so coincidental?

Liu Ji also saw Lan Yue's abnormality and asked, "Xiao Yue, have you heard of this person?"

Lan Yue didn't know how to answer for a while, if Gu told the truth that she had an appointment with Xu Moran and would go to Jiangyin to find him, then her own hiding would be left behind, not only in danger for herself, but also for Momen to be in danger. However, Liu Ji is sincere to himself and sincere, how can he lie to him and hide it?

Just as he was hesitating, suddenly the guards came to report that Zhu Bai had surrounded him and was about to land on the island.
