Chapter 42: A Strange Poison (I)
Zhang Linxin pointed to these handwritings and said: "Brother Dugu, these letters have just been written, you can see the ink marks on these words, they have not been done for a long time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Dugu Jian looked at it carefully one by one, and it was indeed the case. He thought for a while, "Lin'er, it seems that what Master Ning Zhi said should be true, this person is planning to use these to frame that little Master Ning Ling." β
"Well, it's not wrong, it seems that the nun named Ning He on the mountain is the hall master of this five-color sect!" As she spoke, the girl turned around and stepped on the purple-robed man's chest, and asked sharply: "Say! Tell all your plots! Otherwise, Hugh blames the girl for being ruthless under the sword!" The purple-robed man was also hard, and the girl also used some strength for this kick, but he gritted his teeth and didn't scream, tilted his head, snorted coldly, and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Dugu Jian rolled his eyes, squatted down, handed the porcelain bottle to him, and said softly: "Since you don't want to say it, then we have to ask you to taste the 'Divine Skill San' here." β
The purple-robed man's face showed a look of horror, and he shouted loudly, "Who are you, why do you know the secret medicine of this sect?" The girl took the porcelain vase, shook it in front of his face again, and said with a smile: "It seems that this is really 'Shengong San', give you a taste?"
"Don't, kill me, I don't want to eat this, please, kill me!" the purple-robed man shouted.
"If you don't want to accept this 'divine merit', then it's easy to do, tell me everything you know!"
The purple-robed man looked at the poison that was close at hand, and his heart was very frightened, he closed his eyes and shook his head, "I won't say anything, you, you better kill me." β
"If you want to die, wouldn't that be too cheap for you?" Brother Dugu, let's pour the medicine into his mouth!" the girl said to Dugu Jian. Dugu Jian nodded, reached out and pinched the purple-robed man's cheek, forcing him to open his mouth, and the girl happily brought the porcelain bottle to his mouth. The purple-robed man's acupoint was sealed, and he couldn't move, and it was impossible to even struggle. Seeing that he was really about to be fed "Shen Gong San", he shouted loudly: "Don't! Don't! Kill me! Kill me!"
Seeing that the medicinal powder was about to be poured into his mouth, the purple-robed man couldn't hold on any longer, "I said, I said it all!" Tears and snot flowed out. The girl put away the porcelain vase in disgust, frowned and took two steps back. Dugu Jian also let go of his hand and shouted: "That's good!
The purple-robed man took a few big breaths and eased his nerves before he spoke: "I am the leader of the 'Killing' team of the Black Sword Hall of the Five Colors Sect, and I am specifically responsible for liaising with the hall master on the mountain to eliminate the unstable factors nearby. β
"And what is your name, and who is your hall master?"
"It's the hero who just mentioned the nun Ning He, she is the hall master of our Black Sword Hall. I don't have a name, my code name is 'Kill'. β
"Okay, then let me ask you again, how did Ning He join your Five Colors Sect?"
"Well, I really don't know much about this, our hall masters are all appointed by the sect leader himself, and I was sent here by the Dharma Protector. β
"Who the hell is your sect leader?"
"None of our people in the Five Swords Hall have seen the true body of the sect leader except for the hall master, and they don't know who he is. In the entire Five Color Sect, only the two Dharma Protectors, the two Elders, and the five hall masters of the Five Swords Hall, as well as the leaders of the sect leader's personal guard teams, 'Extermination', 'Extermination', 'Erasure', and 'Killing', have seen the sect leader himself."
"So, Ning He must have seen your sect leader?"
"It should be. β
"Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about the whole process of your murder of Master Ruixin this time!"
"Three days ago, I received a secret order from the sect leader asking us to find a way to kill the old nun Ruixin immediately within three days. After I reported it to the hall master, she planned to poison Ruixin. But if you do it too obviously, it is easy to expose yourself. So, the hall master took a bottle of 'Shen Gong San' from me, and the two of them also knew the effect of this poison, taking a large dose, it can cause death, and it will not bleed from the seven orifices, just like a violent death, if you don't check it carefully, it is difficult to see that it is poisoned. She quietly sprinkled the poison on the diet and tea of the old nun of Ruixin, and it was done. β
"No! Master Ruixin's diet has always been taken care of by Little Master Ning Ling, how can Ning He interfere with poisoning?"
"This, I, I really don't know! At that time, the hall master took the 'Divine Skill San' from me, and I really don't know how to do it!"
"And what are you going to do after that?"
"The hall master has already planned to blame Ning Ling for the murder of Ruixin. At that time, as long as Ning Ling is executed, and Ning Zhi is a fool again, the hall master will be able to hold the power of the Hengshan faction in his hands. β
"Are these things you plan to use to blame Ning Ling?" Dugu Jian pointed to the robes, letters and other items in the baggage. The purple-robed man shrank his gaze and replied, "Yes, when I quietly put these things in Ning Ling's bedroom, the hall master will take someone to search for her and confirm her crime." β
"Hmph, despicable, shameless!" the girl was so angry that she kicked the purple-robed man hard. Dugu Jian looked at the porcelain bottle containing "Shen Gong San", his heart moved, and asked: "Listen to what you mean, this 'Shen Gong San' is nothing more than going to kill you, why are you so afraid of taking this poison just now?"
The purple-robed man was taken aback, "Don't you know the medicinal properties of this poison?"
"We are not from the Five-Color Sect, how can we know? Speak quickly!" the girl scolded, and lifted the porcelain vase again.
The purple-robed man had no choice but to explain honestly: " This medicine has three characteristics, if you pick out a little bit with your fingernails every time you take it, you will slowly become addicted, and your consciousness will begin to blur, and your skills will be weakened, if you are addicted to drugs, it will be very uncomfortable, and you must take it again; the second is to take the little finger so much at a time, you will foam at the mouth, itch all over the body, scratch around, and gradually begin to drain pus, you must take the antidote as soon as possible, otherwise you can't die, and it is very painful; the other is to take a large dose, eat two to three dollars at a time, at first it will make people feel fluttering, very comfortable, but after a while, it will be convulsions of limbs, and die violentlyγ β
"Brother Dugu, from this point of view, Gu Daxia is the first case, if it is not bad as expected, Ruixin Shitai is the third case. And the amount of medicine left in this porcelain vase did not seem to be enough to kill a person at once, so he was afraid that he would become the second case, so he would rather die than take this poison. β
"What the heroine said is that I have seen the second dose of medicine used in the treatment of traitors in this sect, and that kind of scream is really terrifying and terrifying. The man wailed and scratched, and was tormented for three days and three nights before he died. Our Black Sword Hall's 'Divine Skill San' has been almost used by the hall master last time, this is the only thing left, and it is used to frame Ning Ling's little master. β
Zhang Linxin raised his head and looked at Dugu Jian, "Brother Dugu, what should we do next?" Dugu Jian looked at the sky, "It's not too early, we have to go back to the city first to make peace with Ning Zhishi, and then go up to Heng Mountain together to expose Ning He's conspiracy!"
"What about this person?"
"Take it with you, and let him confront Ning He when the time comes! β
At that moment, the two of them had made up their minds, Dugu Jian found two tree vines, tied the hands of the purple-robed man, and clicked on his dumb point, so he and Zhang Linxin took him back to the inn in Hunyuan County to find Ning Zhi, and told her all the things that the purple-robed man said. Ning Zhi's wound had already been dressed, and she felt much better after resting for so long. After listening to Kenshin's words, he nodded and replied: "Dugu Shaoxia, Miss Zhang, since we already know the truth, then we will return to Hengshan immediately, I am afraid that if I go a moment late, there will be some other changes." β
So the three of them took the purple-robed man and prepared to return to Hengshan. As soon as she walked out of the door, the girl glanced at Ning Zhi, and her heart moved, "Brother Dugu, Mrs. Ning Zhi, you wait for me!" As she spoke, she ran into a grocery store not far away.
In less than a cup of tea, the girl ran back with a hat and a hemp bag. She handed the hat to Ning Zhi, "Mrs. Shi, you bring this hat with you, don't be in a hurry to reveal your identity when the time comes, let's cheat Ning He first." Ning Zhi put on the hat and covered her head, she had already replaced the tattered monk's robe with a coarse cloth dress when she was in the inn. At a glance, you can't see the appearance of the original monk at all. Taking advantage of the fact that the city gate was not closed, the three of them quickly left the city and headed for Heng Mountain.
At this time, on Heng Mountain, Ning He was already in power, so he waited for the purple-robed man to put the things in place, so he took people to search them out and confirm the charge of Ning Ling's murder. Since someone found out that Ning Zhi was missing in the morning, she hurriedly reported it to Ning He, but Ning He killed Ning Zhi herself, so how could she look for it? On the grounds that it was important to treat her master's funeral, she only sent two disciples to search for her master in various places, and the rest of the people still stayed behind to deal with various matters.
Dugu Jian, Zhang Linxin, and Ning Zhi returned to the foot of Heng Mountain with the purple-robed man, and were about to go up the mountain, Dugu Jian suddenly thought of one thing, and asked the purple-robed man: "You left the city just now, are you planning to go up to Heng Mountain to send things to Ning He?" The purple-robed man nodded and replied: "I want to go up the mountain, but I need to put the things in Ning Ling's room by myself." β
"Then how are you going to tell Ning Zhi?"
"There is a small tree not far to the left of the stele outside the mountain gate, and after I put things away, I just need to put the tree down. The hall master's order must be completed today, because she is afraid of long nights and dreams, so she is ready to launch tonight. β
Hearing this, Zhang Linxin suddenly woke up: "Brother Dugu, in this way, there must be Ning He's comrades in the Hengshan faction! Otherwise, she lacks skills and may not be able to see the situation outside the mountain gate at all times." Dugu Jian also nodded, "Well, it seems that nine times out of ten, the people guarding the mountain gate are Ning He's comrades!" The girl also looked at the purple-robed man and asked, "How much do you know about Ning He's comrades on the mountain?"
The purple-robed man shook his head, "I really haven't heard the hall master say this, she usually comes down the mountain to find us in person." But from what she sometimes said, I think there would be some of her people on the mountain. β
