Chapter Ninety-Seven: Alchemy Vision VI
Hearing that they were fine, I breathed a sigh of relief, although the dart game was gone, but fortunately, my brothers who were born and died were still there. I thought for a moment and said, "Senior, I wonder if you can bring my brothers to meet me?"
The relationship between Baili disciple and me is extraordinary, he can lead He Yun and them to the Kunlun Sect to find me, I am very happy in my heart, but he has a strong temperament, if he allows those people to mess around like this at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, if he angers the Fire Heart Dao Elder and them, I am afraid that there will be unprovoked disasters.
Jiang Shun picked up my wine bowl, got up and went to the wine vat to fill two bowls of wine, and when he sat back, he handed the bowl over again, and said, "Gu Xiaoyou, I'm afraid I can't help with this favor." ”
I took the bowl and said, "Why, I just want to meet with my dart masters, and I haven't violated the rules of the punishment table, right?"
Jiang Shun shook his head and said, "There is no rule in the punishment table that outsiders are not allowed to come to visit, this is specially ordered by Master Benkong and Tianyi Chief. Listening to Shaobai Daoren, now that the refining of the antidote to the poison is imminent, Master Benkong has ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave the mountain gate without authorization, and all entrances to the mountain have also been under martial law. ”
Martial law?, I frowned. The power of the Seven Great Sects in the Western Regions now is much inferior to that of a few months ago. In the battle of the Death Swamp, all the sects of the Righteous Path suffered heavy injuries without exception, and the Kunlun faction was already entrenched in the Western Regions, and before going to the Death Swamp that day, there were still many left-behind disciples in the Kunlun sect, and it can be said that they are now the most solid backing of the Seven Great Sects in the Western Regions. The power of the Immortal Hall is getting bigger and bigger, and they also want to get the antidote to the poison, and the master of Benkong must also know the current situation, plus they will open the altar to refine the medicine tomorrow, so they must not dare to take it lightly, and now that the mountain gate is under martial law, I am afraid that it is the master of Benkong in order to prevent the Immortal Hall.
I don't know if the Changshengtang will come to attack when refining the antidote to the poison, but even if they come, with the steep and impregnable mountains of Kunlun Mountain, I am afraid that there will be no good result for them to come.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh to myself. The current Changsheng Hall is really a headache. In the past in the Central Plains, although they saw that the righteous path troops could not talk about fleeing after hearing the news, at least they did not come as blatantly as now, so that it seemed that the two sides had put the cart before the horse, so that Master Benkong and they had to block the mountain gate embankment of the Kunlun faction to protect them.
I thought about it with a little headache, put down the bowl in my hand and said: "Senior, it's just that my brothers are ordinary people, if you can't see you below, I'm afraid they will continue to make trouble under Kunlun Mountain." ”
As if he had guessed my thoughts, Jiang Shun smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about this, Brother Cheng already knows about this, and with him coming forward, there won't be any big mess in the future." ”
If Cheng Fuhai comes forward, it would be even better. My heart is at peace again. Now that the situation is turbulent, no one can say what will happen next, of course I don't want to let the Baili disciples get involved, and if they can dodge, they will hide far away. I thought, and then Jiang Shun raised the bowl again and said, "Come, Gu Xiaoyou, drink wine and eat meat!"
I picked up the bowl and said, "Come on, it's done." With that, I tilted my head and drank the wine from the bowl.
This river and lake is really treacherous, and only those who have experienced it know the turbulent waves. I lowered my head, and the spicy wine poured into my stomach, and I didn't feel any drunkenness for a while, only a tingling pain in my throat. I silently thought in my heart that if I could get through this matter safely, I would definitely stay away from right and wrong in the future, and never set foot in this frightening place again.
After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Shun and I were already a little drunk, and the private fire goose was also eaten by the two of us, Jiang Shun was still holding a bone in his hand, knocking on the bowl, humming a strange tune in his mouth, and I didn't know what he was humming. I couldn't sit still, leaning against the wall and my eyelids were falling.
Get drunk. I hope that when I wake up, I will usher in a better tomorrow. I shook my head and smiled wryly.
※※※
I leaned against the wall like this and slept in a daze, and when I woke up again, Jiang Shun had already left, and the stone gate had been closed again, but the wine vat was still standing on the side of the stone gate.
I stretched, and lifted my breath to dissipate the residual smell of alcohol from my body. The wine in this wine vat is not a good wine in the Eight Immortals Building, it is very ordinary, but this wine has a lot of stamina, if the person with a poor amount of wine comes to drink, three or five bowls are enough, and if there are more, I am afraid that the wine will be very strong when I wake up the next day.
The smell of wine dissipated, I was indescribably relaxed, and I just wanted to get up and move my legs and feet, but at this moment, there was another sound of footsteps outside the stone gate.
I thought it was Jiang Shun who came to deliver food for me again, but as soon as the stone door opened, there were seven or eight people standing outside the door, led by Huoxin Dao and Xuan Shendao, and behind them stood Shaobai Daoist and three old men with white hair, Cheng Fuhai and Su Qingyao also came.
I hurriedly stood up, saluted Cheng Fuhai and Su Qingyao, and said, "Junior Gu Tian, see the seniors and Su. ”
I just saluted Cheng Fuhai and Su Qingyao, and didn't say hello to the Huoxin Daoist, who didn't care much, he looked at the wine vat on the side of the stone gate, and smiled a little casually: "Gu Tian, you live here very well." ”
He was a little sarcastic in what he said, I don't know if he was talking about it or alluding to Cheng Fuhai's arrangement for me. I stood up straight and said, "Dao Chief, you're here too." ”
The Fireheart Daoist smiled and said, "Gu Tian, you must be unwilling to lock you up here, right?"
Although he had a smile on his face, I didn't dare to really think that he was kind to me, so I said, "Dao Chief, I know that I have committed a great crime, and I am not unwilling to be punished by this. ”
The Fireheart Daoist walked a few steps into the cave with his hands behind his back, his eyes wandering, and he didn't seem to hear my words. Perhaps, he didn't listen to me at all. I stood aside, feeling a pang of depression in my heart.
When I first came to the Western Regions to see him, and even when I was in the Death Swamp, I explored the mysteries of the valley with him, and I still respected him very much, thinking that he was very amiable to his disciples and outsiders like us, and he himself was also talented and virtuous, and he was proficient in astronomical hexagrams, martial arts, and martial arts.
And now, as if he had completely changed as a person, he probably thought in his heart that I was a traitor to the righteous path, a prisoner in prison like me, so he naturally didn't regard me as some "manufacturable material".
The Fireheart Daoist smiled again and said: "Gu Tian, you can have this realization, this seat is very happy, I don't have to worry about your words, otherwise, your brothers will be so nonsense under Kunlun Mountain, I am afraid that the people of the rivers and lakes will still think that my Kunlun faction is not good and evil." ”
Have the Baili disciples made a fuss at the foot of the mountain already attracted the attention of the Seven Great Sects? I was slightly startled, and hurriedly hugged my fists and said: "Seniors, my dart masters are all reckless horsemen, and they don't know any rules, and I still hope that my predecessors Haihan." ”
I was a little disdainful of him just now, but now I immediately call him a "senior", probably I am really a two-faced person. However, once the Baili disciples anger the Fireheart Dao people, the Fireheart Dao people are angry, maybe they will also be locked up here, if they can intercede with the Fireheart Dao people face to face, I can't care so much now.
The Fireheart Daoist didn't care much, just waved his hand and smiled: "Those who don't know are not guilty, my seven major sects are impartial and upright, and I won't take it to heart, hehe." ”
He kept that peaceful smile on his face, but I had some faint palpitations. Cheng Fuhai's previous speculation that the Seven Great Sects wanted to attack me, there was no sign of anything wrong from the Fire Heart Dao people, and what he said and did seemed to be the attitude that the head of the faction should have towards the prisoners. It's just that I don't know why, the more the Fireheart Daoist treats me like this, the more uneasy I feel in my heart, and I always feel that what is hidden behind his face is a salute before a soldier.
I don't know if I'm right or wrong to think so about the Fireheart Daoist, but in my current situation, it's better to have multiple hearts. The Fireheart Daoist didn't know what I was thinking, and suddenly said, "Gu Tian, Master Cheng Zhuang said that there is something wrong with your body, I don't know what the difference is?"
At this time, Cheng Fuhai said on the side: "Gu Tian, you can show the injury on your arm to the Shaobai Dao people." ”
Seeing Cheng Fuhai agree, I didn't dare to slack off, and reached out to lift the animal skin clothes and bandages on my right arm layer by layer. As soon as the bandage was removed, the blood red of my entire right arm was revealed, although now the stone door was wide open, and the fire outside was shining in, and the hole was not very dark, but my right arm seemed to be blackened by the firelight. The thin scales, sharp nails, and bone spurs on the fists really looked like ghosts in the underworld.
In addition to Cheng Fuhai and Su Qingyao, the Huoxin Daoist and the Xuan Shendao people all changed their faces suddenly. Huoxin Daoist's face suddenly pulled down, walked a few steps quickly to me, and reached out to grab my arm to take a look, but he stopped halfway through his hand, and his fingers didn't touch my arm, he seemed to think of something at this time, retracted his hand, and suddenly turned his head and said: "Shaobai, you guys come and see what kind of Gu poison this is." ”
The Fireheart Daoist probably thought that my right arm had been poisoned, but he was afraid that if he touched me, he would poison my upper body. Hearing the voice of the Fireheart Daoist, the Shaobai Daoist and the three old men standing behind also came forward, and none of the four of them touched my right arm, but looked around my right arm.
The four of them were looking at my right arm, and I had to keep my eyes on the four of them. Shaobai Daoren has not changed much, she is full of white hair, but her face is as beautiful as a crown of jade, as always, like a young woman of twenty-eight years old.
Shaobai Daoren is Jiang Shun's sister, Jiang Shun has been famous in the rivers and lakes for a long time, it stands to reason that his age will not be much younger, but he looks like a man in his early thirties, presumably because Shaobai Daoren often takes some elixirs for Jiang Shun to nourish his face and rejuvenate his appearance. I have never been disdainful of Shaobai Daoren, but I have always respected her in my heart. In fact, the Dan Dao is indeed very beneficial, it can make people recuperate, and it can also cure the pain, I didn't understand it very well in the past, but after going through so much, I gradually understood that if I could carry it forward, it would not have made a contribution to the rivers and lakes. And Shaobai Dao people are precisely this kind of people.
Coupled with the fact that she prepared a miasma repellent in the Death Swamp, she is now even more admired in the rivers and lakes.
Shaobai Daoren was frowning at my palm, not noticing that I was looking at her. I glanced at the Shaobai Daoist and focused on the other three old men.
These three old men are not from the Central Plains. I noticed this from the moment they entered, as they were all wearing the wide floor-to-ceiling witch robes typical of wizards from the Western Regions, with pointed hats attached to the back of their robes. Perhaps the witches of the Western Regions are mostly dressed like this, and their appearance is not much better, as I have seen before, these three people are all thin and woody, with only skinny cheeks on their faces, and their exposed yellow fingers can clearly see the subcutaneous bones one by one. However, the three of them were very clean, the robes were dusty, and the white hair on their heads was combed and shiny, like wizards in a big tribe. One of them was holding a purple wooden staff in his hand, and a round black bead was surrounded by a chaotic branch on the top of the wooden staff.
The four of them watched me for a long time, and Shaobai Daoist suddenly raised his head and said, "Gu Tian, what is the cause of your injury?"
I punched her and said, "Back to the seniors, the junior's arm was scratched by the fish-headed monster." ”
The Fireheart Daoist glanced at me from the side and said lightly: "Gu Tian, you have foreign blood, you can resist the poison without invading, how can you be injured by the venom of the fish-headed monster? ”
He doesn't trust me at all now. I smiled bitterly and said, "I don't dare to lie, this injury is indeed caused by the fish-headed monster." ”
The Fireheart Daoist frowned, and was about to say something, when the old man holding the wooden staff suddenly said, "Master Fireheart, he is right, this is indeed not a sign of poison. ”
As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at me, his eyes were curious, and he said meaningfully: "What a strange person, throughout the ages, you are the first person who can be poisoned and be safe." ”
