Chapter 17: The Gray Mouse
Lin Yan's divine sense immediately probed inside, and kept looking inside. Suddenly, the anxious look on his face eased slightly, and his consciousness stayed in one place of the Nawu Ring, where dozens of white porcelain vases were placed.
Lin Yan's heart moved, and those porcelain vases suddenly appeared in front of him. His expression became solemn, for he did not know if there was an antidote in these porcelain bottles.
"Ahem, ahem. A violent cough sounded. Every time Lin Yan coughed, he brought out a cloud of pitch-black blood. Lin Yan wiped the remaining blood on the corner of his mouth, and knew in his heart that there was not much time left for him.
Lin Yan quickly picked up the porcelain vase at the front, opened the lid, and took a look.
No!
The second, no!
The third, no!
......
Not yet!
Seeing the decreasing porcelain vase in front of him, Lin Yan's heart became extremely heavy.
"Could it be that there is no antidote in these porcelain bottles at all?" Lin Yan already felt that he was almost unable to suppress the poison in his body.
Despite this, Lin Yan still did not give up the last glimmer of possibility.
Lin Yan picked up a porcelain bottle again, but when he opened it and it seemed that a few black pills were quietly placed at the bottom of the bottle, he instinctively sensed that this elixir might be useful.
However, he did not take it out immediately, but quickly opened the remaining porcelain bottle to check it.
In the end, he finally determined that the previous bottle of elixir was most likely the antidote. Lin Yan took out a black pill from the bottle and rubbed it back and forth in his hand.
"I can't take care of it so much, life and death are fateful, and I should have this catastrophe in my life. Lin Yan let go of the many scruples in his heart, opened his mouth, and swallowed the black pill into his stomach.
The pill enters the abdomen and dissolves quickly.
The next moment, Lin Yan's face changed suddenly, and a burst of pain like ten thousand insects devouring the body came overwhelmingly. At this moment, he seemed to be floating in a flat boat on the dark lonely ocean, swallowed by the waves in the sky.
"This pill is actually made of highly poisonous, careless!"
Lin Yan didn't expect that this pill was also made of poison. After this pill entered the body, the medicinal properties quickly spread with the blood, colliding with the previous centipede poison.
One mountain does not tolerate two tigers.
How can two strong poisons coexist peacefully. Suddenly, Lin Yan's body turned into a battlefield where two kinds of poison were intertwined.
Bursts of sharp pain struck, constantly impacting Lin Yan's spirit that was about to dry up. At the same time, the two black gases on his face were constantly exchanged, as if he was engaged in a fierce struggle.
After a moment of effort, the stones under Lin Yan's body were already wet with sweat, and his whole body seemed to be fished out of the water.
Lin Yan bit his lip, the pain caused by the collision between the two poisons made him not even realize that his lips had been drenched in blood from his own bite.
The blood-devouring female ant suspended on the side, seeing Lin Yan's painful expression, hurriedly said, "Master, master, what's wrong with you?"
But where could Lin Yan still have the spirit to answer, the intense pain continued to hit his last line of defense.
Time passed bit by bit, and just when Lin Yan thought that he was about to swallow these two poisons, the pain slowly began to decrease.
Lin Yan instantly came to his senses, and a bright light flashed in his eyes, could it be ...... He immediately began to investigate his body, and was shocked to find that the two poisons in his body were in a state of equilibrium for a short time.
"I didn't expect to achieve such a state, where the two poisons restrain each other, but it gives me, the poisoner, a chance to breathe. Is this the so-called fighting poison with poison?" a bitter smile appeared at the corner of Lin Yan's mouth. At the same time, he knew in his heart that he had made the right bet, and although the process was extremely painful, it was at least much better than death.
"Master, are you okay?" Seeing Lin Yan's expression gradually calming down, the blood-devouring mother ant hurriedly asked.
Lin Yan wiped the dense cold sweat on his face, nodded slightly at the female ant and said, "Lin Qian, I want to recover and protect the Dharma for me." ”
"Yes. ”
Lin Yan immediately closed his eyes and looked inwardly at his body. Although he had expected it, when he saw the mess in his body, his heart trembled twice.
"Fortunately, it didn't damage the foundation, otherwise it would have been difficult. "Although his internal injuries were serious, they were only physical injuries.
Lin Yan immediately took out a few pills from the acceptance ring and put them in his mouth, and then began to close his eyes and breathe.
In the blink of an eye, two hours passed. The chaotic aura around Lin Yan finally stabilized.
Swish!
Lin Yan opened his eyes and felt the injury gradually stabilizing, and his heart was slightly relieved. However, when he thought of the two remaining poisons in his body, his expression became solemn again, although the two poisons were in balance at the moment, but no one knew when they would break out again. And the next time he erupts, he'll be able to pull through. At the same time, he was not sure that there was no hidden danger of toxicity in this state.
Therefore, the current time is really a little urgent for Lin Yan. He had to get rid of the two toxins before they caused him unimaginable damage.
"Right now, I have to rush back to the Xuanlei Sect as soon as possible to ask for help. As for those people, I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of them right now. A flash of determination flashed in Lin Yan's eyes, and while disarming the corpse, he simply cleaned up the surroundings. Immediately turned into a long rainbow and flew in the direction of the Xuanlei Sect.
Day and night alternately cycled, and the journey to the Xuanlei Sect continued to shorten with the passage of time.
Ten days have passed in a blink of an eye. At this moment, Lin Yan was still half the way away from the Xuanlei Sect. During this time, there were several times during this period, when the two poisons in Lin Yan's body faintly showed signs of outbreaking, but they were all forcibly suppressed by him.
Most of Lin Yan's cultivation was used to suppress the poison in his body, so even if he wanted to resist the Xuanlei Sect quickly, he didn't have the extra strength to hurry.
On this day, Lin Yan came to a hill. After many days of traveling, he had already lost some strength, so he planned to stay here for a while and take a break.
Lin Yan breathed for about half a pillar of incense, and a sound of rattling slowly came from not far away.
Lin Yan didn't completely sink into his mind, so when he heard this sudden thought, his eyes suddenly opened, and at the same time, a divine sense reached into the distance.
"Huh?" Lin Yan frowned slightly, and several figures in the dense forest in the distance were galloping in his direction.
"How can there be monks here, looking like they are chasing something?" Lin Yan didn't want to cause more trouble, so he immediately hid in a hidden place to hide his aura.
After a while, the monks finally appeared in Lin Yan's field of vision.
There were four people who came, and the cultivation revealed by the four of them was all the level of foundation building. Among them, a middle-aged man with a hideous appearance was the highest cultivation among the four, reaching the level of foundation building.
"Big brother, where did that little brute go?" asked a thin man looking at the hideous man.
"Don't worry, that little beast has been poisoned by our ecstasy. If it can't run far, it must be around here. ”
"Big brother, after catching this thing, we may all have the opportunity to enter the level of enlightenment. Another man said with an expectant look on his face.
"Don't talk nonsense, once the medicinal effect of the Ecstasy incense has passed, we will spend more than half a year in this broken forest in vain. The hideous man's eyes widened, and he roared angrily: "Don't hurry up and find it!"
At that moment, a small gray figure ran out of some of the grass, apparently under the man's roar.
"Quick, where is that beast!" roared greedily on one man's face.
"Chase!" The hideous man took the lead in flying away, and the other three were not to be left behind.
Lin Yan, who had been hiding here, couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw that the four people were chasing a gray mouse, and secretly said in his heart that there was something strange about this mouse, listening to the conversation between the four of them, it seemed that he had been in this mountain forest for about half a year for this mouse.
However, Lin Yan only thought about it, and he didn't want to snatch it, after all, his physical condition was complicated at the moment, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he might cause uncontrollable consequences.
Lin Yan originally just wanted to wait quietly for the four of them to leave, but it seemed that things always went out of his expectations. Where did he think that the gray mouse was actually running in the direction where he was hiding?
The corners of Lin Yan's mouth showed a touch of bitterness, if you don't look for trouble, trouble will always find you. At this moment, even if he doesn't want to get involved, there is no way.
Since this mouse was sent to the door, he Lin Yan didn't mean not to accept it, and immediately reached out with his right hand. The gray mouse didn't seem to expect that there were still humans hidden here, and looking at the big hands that galloped down, it was like a fool, staying in place and motionless.
Lin Yan grabbed it with his right hand and held it in his hand. At this moment, the mouse finally came to its senses, and kept writhing its body, and let out a squeaky cry.
Hearing this sudden squeaky shout, the hideous man who was obviously led by the four suddenly changed his face, and his right hand stopped the three people behind him.
The three of them are not stupid people, they don't understand that they were intercepted, and the hideous man took the lead in speaking: "I didn't expect that there was still a Taoist friend here." ”
When Lin Yan heard this, he also knew that there was no need to hide, although he didn't want to get involved in the trouble, but he was not afraid of the trouble.
Lin Yan slowly walked out of the dense forest. In an instant, all four eyes focused on him.
"Big brother, this person's face is a little tired, and there is a little dust on his clothes, it should be a monk who has been on a long journey for a long time and happened to stay here, and it is unlikely that he knows about the existence of this strange thing. After the thin man behind him looked at Lin Yan, he leaned into the hideous man's ear and whispered.
The hideous man nodded slightly, doing their line of work, they have already trained a pair of golden eyes.
"Although this person's cultivation is not the same as ours, his aura is disordered, and he must have injuries on his body. If he doesn't hand it over, we'll ......," and with that, the thin man quietly made a throat-slitting motion.
The hideous man waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Let me find out the details of this person first, if he is willing to hand it over, we will all be happy." If he doesn't comply, he can't blame me for being ruthless. ”
"Everything is at the behest of the eldest brother. ”
After the hideous man's afterglow swept over the gray mouse in Lin Yan's hand, he quickly moved away, and asked with a calm expression, "I don't know which way Daoist friend is?"
