The snow is like snow, and the clear sky is gone. Cold as ice, blocking the water.

The cold geese return to the south, and the lonely grass and trees are cold.

The wind is cold, and the single tree wants to break. The wind is sluggish, and the frost is cold.

The silent night wilderness is deserted, the crows should be screaming, and the wind is cold.

The low grass hid its feet in the ground, sucking deep on the soil, revealing its air-dried body and looking up at the sparse stars. The red-eyed bats hanging from the branches waited for the bonfire to go out, swooped down to snatch a piece of charred meat that had been roasted, and then escaped into the depths of the night.

In the depths of the night, the lights on the lonely mountain are still bright. The smoke is filled, and the figures come and go, although it is quiet, it is also busy. A fierce battle that should have taken place tonight was extinguished before the spark could be ignited. Qu Longshan plundered all the grain and grass that Xia Xun had worked so hard to bring back without a single soldier, which can be described as a great victory. Merely... No one could smile before the big victory. The recaptured grain and grass gradually spread the anxiety into the hearts of many people along with the smoke from the burning cooking.

The apprehension does not stem from a problem with the grain and grass.

On the contrary, there is no problem with the looted grain, grass and hair.

That's why people are even more worried...

Qulong Mountain, southeast of the mountainside.

The vacant space that was originally used as the Qulong canteen was set up with dozens of wooden tables, filled with all kinds of wine and food. A few tables in front of them, standing or sitting, were filled with alcohol and red-faced people.

The noise rises and falls with each other, and the noise is staggered.

On the south side of the clearing, there were more than a dozen blazing bonfires, and an old cow, three lambs, four or five chickens and ducks were skinned and torn on the fire, exuding a strong smell of meat. Two large pots are slowly cooking snow-white rice, several candidates are flying on the fire and frying vegetables with iron spoons, and a large clay pot is slowly boiling the broth.

It's a very lively place.

Only a few were silent.

Depressed...

"Squeak. ”

Tang Xiaotang and Tang Chuan each held a tiny silver needle, tirelessly walking back and forth between the tables, repeatedly testing the food and wine on each table. Even though both of them had cultivation, they were busy for two hours in a row, and a lot of tired fine sweat could not help but ooze from their cheeks. It's just that fatigue is tired, but the silver needle in his hand has never been able to give them an expected answer, and it is shining from beginning to end.

"Stone, how are you feeling?"

"Hey, what else can I do, I can beat you to death a tiger. ”

"How is this possible?"

"Why can't I lie to you?"

"It stands to reason that there is no poison in this food..."

In the middle of the clearing, the ground was full of messes, and more than a dozen leaders sat together, eating and drinking. Several Tang Sect disciples stood behind them with various plasters in their hands, their brows furrowed and extremely suspicious. These dozen or so leaders are all first-class masters of Qu Longshan, so they are a group of people who were invited to test the poison. These people are also bold enough, and after learning that Xia Xun could not kill him, they let go of their stomachs to eat and drink. After eating and drinking for two hours, they didn't do anything, but they ate all the food on the table.

This also makes the whole thing even more confusing...

One of the Tang Sect disciples turned around and asked a few people at the nearby table.

"How are you feeling?"

"It's okay, there's some poison there. ”

"Is there a problem with me having stomach pain?"

"Eh, and me, I want to vomit, you can let me go quickly. ”

“......”

The cultivation of these tables is low, and it was because those leaders did not test the poison that they were asked by Tang Chuan for re-examination. As a result, they also ate for a whole hour, and there was still nothing to do. If you have to say something, then you can only say that these people have been eaten to death by themselves...

During this time, a white-looking Tang Sect disciple really couldn't eat it anymore, hugged the person who came to interrogate, and begged for mercy pitifully: "Senior Brother Ji, my good senior brother, don't you let me eat it again? If I eat it again, I will be killed if I am not poisoned by the food." You can spare my life while I still have to breathe..."

"Yes, where is this poison tried like this?"

"If it was really poisonous, we would have died long ago. ”

"I don't know if it's poisonous or not, but if I eat it again, I'll definitely die!"

"I don't think you should waste your time, this must be Naxia's trick to bluff people. But you know, his favorite is bluffing. He didn't dare to lead people to attack the mountain, so he could only use these three indiscriminate means to scare us all day long. Let's not be suspicious here..."

“......”

At the beginning of the predecessors, the candidates complained one after another.

Several Tang Sect disciples were also very helpless, these people's appetite had reached the limit, if they continued to eat, they would definitely be able to eat nothing. Several Tang Sect disciples didn't dare to make up their minds privately, so they had to turn their eyes to Tang Chuan for help. Tang Chuan had long noticed the movement here, and waved his hand perfunctorily: "If you don't eat, don't eat." You go back to sleep first, and if you feel unwell, remember to report it in time. ”

"Brother Xie Chuan's grace of not killing..."

"Let's go. ”

When the candidates at several tables heard this, they immediately felt like they had been pardoned, and they quickly got up and left their seats with two words of compliment, and then ran away. Judging by the appearance, this meal is probably the most painful meal they have eaten in their lives. Tang Chuan smiled helplessly, he could basically assert that Xia Xun definitely did not poison the grain, grass, wine and meat. After all, no matter how little the toxin is, there is a amount, and in the case of such a sea meal, the toxin still cannot be absorbed by the human body, and no matter how powerful the poison is, there is a limit, I am afraid it is not comparable to a small wind chill.

Swish...

Tang Chuan carefully put the silver needle back into the bamboo tube, and then looked at Tang Xiaotang, who was busy not far away: "Don't try Xiaotang, there is no poison in the meal at all, and it will be in vain if you try again." ”

Tang Xiaotang may have the same idea as Tang Chuan, but she didn't pay attention to Tang Chuan, but thought for a moment in a daze, and quietly walked to the front table with a silver needle...

"Hmmm. ”

Suddenly, Tang Xiaotang coldly turned into an afterimage, and quickly stabbed a needle in the waist and abdomen of a man who was eating!

"Damn!

“......”

was suddenly pricked with a needle, and the man suddenly got up.

Tang Xiaotang ignored it completely, and lifted the silver needle in his hand to look at the light and shadow. Sui Jiaojiao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her suspicion was even worse, and she muttered: "It's strange, it's not poisonous." ”

The man who was pricked with a needle was very untempered, and sat down again with a wave of his big hand: "Do you want to apply the needle, can you mention it, people are scary and scared to death." If you say it's not poisonous, it's not poisonous, don't be suspicious. If you lose, you will admit a low threat, and you will not be missing a piece of meat. ”

“......”

Tang Xiaotang still ignored the angry words, she handed the silver needle to Tang Chuan and asked, "Is there any movement in the dead wood forest?"

"Nope. ”

Tang Chuan shook his head: "They all slept, and they didn't even leave a vigil." ”

"Strange... It's so weird..."

Tang Xiaotang was thoughtful, walked two steps to an empty seat and sat down, held his forehead tangled with one hand, and tore off a piece of beef from the table with the other hand and ate it in his mouth...

"Qu Long's lifeblood lies in food, so Xia Xun's means must be in ambush in food. He said that he had poisoned the grain, so he must have poisoned it, but why couldn't we find out? If it wasn't poison, then what else could he rely on to capture Qu Long in one fell swoop? Do you really want to wait for the arrival of the men and horses of Anta Mountain before attacking? But this was obviously not his original intention, and he would certainly not do it. ”

“......”
