Chapter 56: The Assassin

Zhao Xinming looked at the "Poison Codex" and was about to flip through it, when he suddenly found a small word written in the lower right corner of the cover: Up. Zhao Xinming, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, frowned, and said suspiciously: "Master Yu, what's going on?"

"Mr. Zhao, this 'poison codex' in Hou Ye's hand is rubbing, and it is indeed only the first half. In the rumor, the second half of the 'Poison Codex' records an extremely superior cultivation method, the 'Ten Thousand Poisons Devouring Heart Formula', and this kind of exercise has never been passed on!" Master Yu smiled and quickly explained.

"'Ten Thousand Poisons Devouring the Heart'. Zhao Xinming muttered, and suddenly remembered that this exercise was one of the six eighth-class exercises that Hei Ji said, and his heart suddenly looked forward to this "poison codex" even more.

"Mr. Zhao, I'll hand over the 'Poison Codex' to you now, you can take it. Master Yu paused and continued, "Now, I will arrange a place for my husband to stay. When I got there, if Mr. needed anything, although he instructed his subordinates, there was one thing that Mr. should remember, the content of the book can only be memorized and not copied. ”

Zhao Xinming looked at a thick book, at least more than 300 copies of the 'poison codex', although he was dissatisfied, he had to agree. Master Yu was quite satisfied, and took Zhao Xinming around the Hou Mansion again, came to a small courtyard in the southwest, and stopped. The small courtyard is not big, there are only three rooms, and the layout in the room is extremely simple, there is almost no decoration, but it is very clean, Zhao Xinming looked around, and was quite satisfied.

"Mr. Zhao, according to Master Hou's meaning, I can only arrange Mr. here. Although it is simple here, it is better to be pure, and reading is excellent, so it will be a few days of grievances. Master Yu said slightly apologetically.

"How dare you, there is Master Lao. Zhao Xinming hurriedly said.

"That being the case, I won't bother Mr. Master Yu nodded and continued, "Later, I will ask the housekeeper to arrange a small servant for Mr. In this way, I will retire first. After speaking, Master Yu hesitated, but turned around and walked out.

Zhao Xinming sent Master Yu away, and immediately took out the "Poison Codex" and looked at it. The paper used in this "poison code" is extremely rough, and it is even a little abrasive to the touch. Zhao Xinming just flipped through the two pages, and couldn't help but curse secretly, but his heart moved, took out the gloves that Hei Ji gave him and put them on, touched them again, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

This half of the "Poison Codex" has a total of more than 600 pages, according to the intensity of the poison will be divided into 6 grades, the lowest level is ordinary poisons, many Zhao Xinming have heard of it, and even seen it, the "Poison Code" for this kind of poison is a word; most of the records in the second file are also ordinary things, but because the toxicity is a lot more violent, so a few sentences are simply recorded in the book; from the third level, there are a lot of special poisons in the "Ghost Domain", such as a very ordinary wild wolf, in the "Ghost Domain" it became" The blood of the "red wolf" contains severe poison, and only a drop on the body can kill a person; as for the highest 6 grades, there are not many records in the book, and there is a thing called "Hundred Years of Corpse Leader", which actually comprehends the monster of the "domain"! Just one look can kill people invisibly, and the "Poison Codex" only records one sentence for such a monster: "The only antidote to poison: escape!"

Zhao Xinming looked through it, it was like opening an unknown world, the more he looked at it, the more excited he became, and he soon became addicted to it. Before I knew it, a day had passed, and Master Yu returned to the house and sat quietly in the study, not knowing what he was thinking, and he had no intention of leaving until late at night.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Late at night, Mrs. Yu couldn't rest assured and came over.

"Yes, ma'am, I'm fine. Master Yu sighed and asked softly, "Madam, why are you here?"

"It's already time, and seeing that the master hasn't gone back yet, I don't worry about coming over to take a look. Mrs. Yu said.

"Madame, I'm just a little upset. It's a little annoying to watch some innocent people die in vain, but they can't do anything themselves. Master Yu said with a wry smile.

"Master, why do you bother yourself, maybe that person won't die?" Mrs. Yu hurriedly comforted.

"Hehe, you, you. Master Yu shook his head and said with a smile, "That's it, life and death have their own destiny, maybe you really got it right, Mrs. After speaking, Master Yu smiled, got up and walked out.

Zhao Xinming didn't know anything about what happened in Yufu. At this moment, he was still fighting at night, looking at the "Poison Codex" intently, until dawn, and then he felt a little sleepy. Zhao Xinming has been frail and sick since childhood, and has been a doctor for a long time, and he is quite insightful about the medicinal properties of many drugs. At this time, I put on the cover, and when I thought about it carefully, I also found some problems in the book.

In addition to dividing poisons into 6 grades according to toxicity, the "Toxicopoeia" also makes more detailed divisions according to the types of toxicity, such as fire poison, water poison, earth poison, etc., such as the "red spotted wolf" above is an earth poison. And the problem in this book is: some poisons that are obviously fire poisons, but the antidote methods of water poison and earth poison are introduced into the detoxification method, although the book is very cleverly written, but this has to be carefully compared before and after, and some problems can still be seen. Despite this, Zhao Xinming is still very satisfied with this transaction, if it weren't for the "poison code", he couldn't imagine what happened to him!

For three days in a row, Zhao Xinming was immersed in the small courtyard and studied hard. Except for a small servant, Master Yu and others never came again. The little guy is also well-behaved, except for three meals a day, he will never step into the door. Zhao Xinming was not polite when he got the opportunity, took out the paper and pen hidden on his body, and secretly excerpted a lot of content, especially the representative antidote methods of fire poison, water poison, earth poison, etc., and copied them all over without falling.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Xinming was about to rest after watching the "poison code" for a day, when a shout of killing suddenly came from outside. Zhao Xinming hurriedly walked out of the small courtyard, and saw a fire in the northeast, and several figures rushed out one after another in the night, rushing in all directions. This was followed by several figures, closely following them.

"Little brother, what's going on over there?" Zhao Xinming asked when he saw the little guy.

"Sir, I don't know. The little servant shook his head, and then said, "Sir, please wait, I'll go and inquire about it." ”

"Then there's Brother Lao. Zhao Xinming nodded.

The little guy got the answer and hurriedly walked over. Zhao Xinming continued to look, and the fire in the northeast direction was quickly extinguished, and the shouting of killing gradually became smaller. Zhao Xinming looked at it for a while, and was about to go back, when he suddenly heard the sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground, and turned his head to look, only to see two black-clothed people falling twenty or thirty feet away in front of him.

One of them was masked, and the other looked to be in his 40s and quite imposing. After the two landed, they glanced around, saw Zhao Xinming, and immediately rushed over. After a while, three more people chased down, and the leader Zhao Xinming had seen it a few times, but he was the deputy leader of the Hou Mansion guards. Soon, the guards of the Hou Mansion chased after him, and the five people fought together, although there were only two people in black, but they were strong in kung fu, and they firmly gained the upper hand under the fight.

After more than a hundred battles, the deputy leader saw Zhao Xinming and hurriedly shouted: "Please also ask Mr. to help, there will be a good reward in the future." ”

Zhao Xinming frowned and hesitated. I heard the masked man suddenly sigh and exclaim, "Bah." When the voice came, Zhao Xinming only felt a shock in his brain and almost collapsed on the ground!
