Volume 1 The first time to set foot in the rivers and lakes Chapter 7 Poison everyone
"Mother-in-law, I can't do it anymore, help me, I think I'm going to die. ”
A young man in sackcloth was lying on his back on the ground, foaming at the corners of his mouth, his convulsive hands clenched to his abdomen and wailed loudly.
In front of him stood an old woman on crutches, looking at him with a kind smile and not saying a word.
When the two people next to them heard the wailing, they just glanced at it lightly, and continued to read the book, the sword practice, and turned a blind eye to the scene that happened in front of them.
The young man in Mai lying on the ground was Xu Zhaonan, who was taken to the top of Yao Mountain by Gu Sihai two years ago, and the old woman standing in front of him was Grandma Sun who said that she would teach her to read and learn poison.
Spring went to autumn, and in a hurry for two years, it was Xu Zhaonan, who had a long body, who gradually had the appearance that a half-sized child should have, he grew a lot taller, his shoulders became a little broader, and his arms covered by linen clothes had a lot of ravine-like ups and downs.
In the past two years, Xu Zhaonan woke up every morning, and followed Gu Sihai to practice some fists and feet to strengthen his body, and at noon, Gu Sihai would always get all kinds of wild game in the mountains to make up for him, so gradually Xu Zhaonan had the physique that his peers should have, and even more so.
But every time in the afternoon, Grandma Sun first spent more than an hour to teach Xu Zhaonan to read and read the Poison Sutra, and after reading the words, Xu Zhaonan's nightmare began.
Granny Sun didn't know where she collected all kinds of poisons, what poisonous things such as broken intestine grass and strychnine, and tried them on Xu Zhaonan in turn. Sometimes he was quietly looking through the Poison Sutra, and all of a sudden, he fell to the ground and vomited blood, his limbs twitched, and he couldn't see the benevolence in his eyes.
In the name of beauty, let Xu Zhaonan taste the taste of poison, understand the feeling of poison, and observe the opportunity of poisoning.
Earlier, Bai Chujian and Gu Sihai, who were asking about the movement, would nervously run over to inquire about one or two, and over time, they ignored Xu Zhaonan.
It's just that I don't know when, every night, Bai Chujian will personally cook, make Xu Zhaonan a pot of pork rib soup made with a variety of medicinal herbs, and warm a pot of Baihua brew for him to drink - this is the most anticipated moment of the day for Xu Zhaonan.
After dinner, it was time for Xu Zhaonan to study alone. Bai Chujian had already taught him the mental method created by Bai Xifeng "Concentrating Decision", which was created by Bai Xifeng for his young daughter as a high-grade exercise for the purpose of building a foundation, and taught this mental method to Xu Zhaonan, so that he could expand his meridians step by step and lay a solid foundation for the future circulation of true qi.
It's just that Xu Zhaonan's body bones are too weak, if he directly practices advanced exercises, he is afraid that his meridians will be broken and die immediately, so Xu Zhaonan can only practice this "Concentrating Decision" every night.
Whenever Xu Zhaonan practiced this "Concentrating Decision", he felt that the meridians of his body were like thousands of horses galloping, running and circulating in his body along the meridian path. Everywhere he went, the meridians gradually changed from narrow to wide, and the pain of widening the meridians was unimaginable to ordinary people, but Xu Zhaonan persevered with tenacious perseverance.
After the practice, Grandma Sun would force him into a bath soaked in various herbs before he went to sleep, saying that it was to remove the toxins left in his body during the day.
Day after day, rain or shine, two years passed.
"Okay, okay, since it's not poisoned, get up quickly, and don't pretend to the old body there. ”
Grandma Sun paused on the ground with a cane in her hand, and said softly: "If your clothes are dirty, you have to trouble the young master to wash them, it's really nonsense." ”
Xu Zhaonan, who was lying on the ground and rolling, heard this, knowing that he had been found out about pretending to be poisoned, he grinned, jumped up with a carp hit, and hurriedly asked Grandma Sun: "Mother-in-law, how do you know that I am not poisoned?"
Granny Sun smiled slightly, and showed the kind smile that would only show when she watched Xu Zhaonan roll on the ground every time she turned Xu Zhaonan over the poison, and it was also the nightmarish smile that Xu Zhaonan was most afraid of in the past two years.
Granny Sun didn't explain, but just smiled and asked, "Tell me about the old body, what poison you planted today, it was mixed with several poisons, and when was it poisoned?"
"Death red, plus the Soul Snatching ......" Xu Zhaonan touched his chin, and after taking two steps back and forth, he said with a smile: "You still have to mix in three drops of five venom, huh...... The five venoms are made of snake venom from the Western Regions, mandala flowers, strychnine, aconitum grass, and throat sealing wood, right?"
"Well, yes, it's Death Red, Soul Snatcher, and Five Venom. Granny Sun nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Then you can tell me where this poison is, when you were poisoned, and when you were detoxified." ”
Xu Zhaonan was affirmed by Grandma Sun, and there was a slight smug look on his face. In the past two years, Granny Sun has used different methods to poison every day, adding up to hundreds of poisoning techniques, which can be described as ever-changing, just being on guard at all times has made Xu Zhaonan overwhelmed, and after being poisoned, she has to carefully understand what poison she has in it, and then according to the various toxicologies taught by Grandma Sun in the past, she will find an antidote before being poisoned.
But often before the antidote is found, he is already poisoned and can't take care of himself, and he almost dies. And as Xu Zhaonan has more and more poisons of all kinds, his body gradually becomes resistant to poisons, and he is slowly familiar with Granny Sun's poisoning methods, so the poison used by Granny Sun is becoming more and more terrifying.
Of course, the results are also remarkable, in just two years, Xu Zhaonan has made rapid progress, and he has been able to gain insight into Granny Sun's poisoning opportunity, so as to take precautions.
"Death red is colored, and the five venoms are flavorful, but with the addition of the neutralization of the Soul San, it immediately becomes a colorless and odorless poisonous thing. Mother-in-law should have smeared the prepared poison on the pages of the book yesterday, and stored it overnight to let the paper dry, so that it would not be noticeable, and secondly, the toxicity would not take effect too quickly, and when I read the poison scripture today and touched the page with my fingers, I would be highly poisoned, but it would not be poisoned immediately, but it was a pity that ......" Xu Zhaonan raised his hands, shook his fingers in front of Grandma Sun's eyes, and said proudly: " When I got up today, I smeared my fingers with honey glue to block contact with poison, so that I would not be poisoned, let alone detoxified. ”
Grandma Sun nodded with a smile and approved: "It's a little clever." ”
Xu Zhaonan smiled and asked again: "This poison has been volatilized overnight, and the toxicity has weakened a little, so it will not spit blood in the mouth immediately, the poisoning is obviously a convulsion of the limbs first, and then foaming at the mouth and unbearable abdominal pain, how can my mother-in-law find out that I am not poisoned?"
Grandma Sun still had such a kind smile on her face, stretched out her finger and pointed at the white foam on the corner of Xu Zhaonan's mouth, and said with a smile: "Soap horn foam, it smells." ”
Hearing this, Xu Zhaonan suddenly realized and patted his head, but he didn't expect the problem to be here.
Granny Sun turned around, turned her back to Xu Zhaonan and said, "Okay, from today onwards, you will be out of the school." ”
A hint of relief flashed in his eyes, presumably happy that his mantle finally had an heir.
"Really?" Xu Zhaonan said with some surprise.
But I thought in my heart, this nightmare day is finally coming to an end?
"Yes, that's all the old body can teach you, although you haven't practiced martial arts yet, but relying on this body of poison alone, the world is so big, no one dares to bully. Grandma Sun said proudly, and paused on the ground with the cane in her hand as she spoke.
After all, it is the rumored poison master who is on par with the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect Master, and the disciples who teach him, even if he doesn't know martial arts, can dominate one side.
"Mother-in-law......"
Xu Zhaonan hesitated for a moment, and then said with a smile on his face: "Zhaonan has something I want to ask." ”
"Say it. ”
"Mother-in-law's poison technique, can Uncle Gu and Senior Sister know?" Xu Zhaonan asked with a smile, imagining with evil taste in his heart whether the two of them were as painful as themselves when they practiced poison.
"I haven't taught. ”
"Why is that?"
Granny Sun seemed to know what Xu Zhaonan was thinking, turned around and nodded his head with a smile, and said: "Gu Sihai is already strong in martial arts, and he has sword qi to protect his body, and ordinary poisons are not close to him at all, besides, if he wants to kill someone, he can directly use the sword, but he can't look down on the old body." ”
"That'...... Senior Sister shouldn't be as powerful as Uncle Gu now, right...... Why ......?" asked Xu Zhaonan.
"Young master, it's good that she is dedicated to practicing swordsmanship, anyway, with you by her side at all times, it's the same whether she learns it or not. Granny Sun said as she should.
"Huh?" Xu Zhaonan opened his mouth wide, which made him not know what to say for a while.
The breeze blew, and Bai Chujian, who was sitting on the stone bench and reading quietly, moved his jade-like earlobes slightly, and glanced at this side lightly, the gentle wind brought up a few strands of hair around his ears, and his cheeks were a little red.
Granny Sun glanced at Bai Chujian's direction imperceptibly, and said, "Okay, go and clean up your body, you wash your clothes yourself today, don't always let the young master bother." ”
Xu Zhaonan's face suddenly turned red when he said this, although Bai Chujian did not smile on weekdays, he treated Xu Zhaonan really well, not only making soup for him every day, but also washing all the dirty clothes he changed every day.
At first, Xu Zhaonan was naturally embarrassed, but whenever he saw Shangbai's clear eyes for the first time, he couldn't say anything about refusal.
Over time, I got used to my sister's kindness to me, and I only thought that one day I must repay my sister, if someone in this world dares to be disrespectful to my sister, I will definitely be the first to let go.
Granny Sun and Gu Sihai naturally saw all this, but today they were suddenly broken by Granny Sun, and they immediately made Xu Zhaonan blush, which was really worse than being poisoned.
"Zhaonan knows ......"
Before the words fell, Xu Zhaonan was already running quickly down the mountain.
There is a waterfall in the mountains, and under the waterfall is a bottomless pool, Xu Zhaonan will often run to the pool to wash, strip naked and put himself in the pool, and the feeling of exhaustion will be eliminated a lot immediately, which can be regarded as his occasional way to relax.
After Xu Zhaonan left, Granny Sun slowly walked to Bai Chujian's approach, and looked down at the book Bai Chujian was reading - "Mixed Yuan Sword Technique", which was exactly the practice created by the Mixed Yuan Sword Sect five hundred years ago, maybe it was Bai Xifeng's collection back then, and now it was used by Bai Chujian to read and appreciate it.
The sword trick was spread out on his lap, and only three pages were turned on the left side - this morning, Bai Chujian actually only read three pages of paper, I don't know if it was because the exercises were obscure or for some other reason.
Seeing this, Granny Sun just hooked the corners of her mouth upwards and didn't say anything.
Bai Chujian saw Granny Sun approaching, looked down at the sword technique he put on his lap, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, he quietly closed the book gently, raised his hand to brush the wind-blown hair behind his ears, looked at Granny Sun quietly, and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, is Zhaonan a teacher?"
Grandma Sun said: "Well, I'm out of school." The old body will no longer be able to poison him in the future, and the young master can rest assured. ”
Bai Chujian turned his head, as if looking at the direction of Xu Zhaonan's departure, but avoided the slightly reddened earlobe on the left side of Grandma Sun's sight, and sighed softly: "It's really a fast learner, I thought I would have to learn for another three or five years." ”
"If you really want to study for another three or five years, old man...... I'm afraid I'm going to feel sorry for it. Granny Sun lowered her head, gently stroked the crutches with her hand, and said casually.
Bai Chujian heard the voice outside the words, and said angrily: "Mother-in-law......"
"Don't worry, young master, the old man didn't say anything...... Hehe......" Grandma Sun said with a smile, and walked towards the hut step by step with a cane.
"Mother-in-law, Zhao Nan is the junior brother of the first meeting, and the first time I see him, I should take care of one or two......"
Bai Chujian stood up and explained softly, I don't know if Grandma Sun heard it.
"Qiang ......"
Gu Sihai finished his cultivation this morning, put his sword into the sheath, and walked towards the bottom of the mountain, not knowing which wild thing in the forest would be miserably killed today.
