Chapter Twenty-Six: Seeking the Blood of the Snake

Started with half a volume of "Nine Yin True Scripture", but Ding Yu had a wry smile on his face - as he expected before, the true scripture could not be practiced. Not because there is only the second half of the volume, but because he can't read it!

Just as the dragon elephant is written in the form of Buddhist scriptures, the "Nine Yin True Scriptures" is written in the form of Taoist scriptures, which uses a large number of Taoist cultivation terms, such as the baby girl, the three flowers gather at the top, and the five qi dynasty yuan. Ding Yu is not unfamiliar with these words, he often saw them when he read Xiuxian novels in his previous life, but among the 10,000 people who read Xiuxian novels, there is not necessarily one person who knows what is a girl baby, which three flowers are three flowers, which five qi are five qi, and which one is the Yuan of the court, unfortunately, Ding Yu belongs to one of the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people, so he can only stare at this miracle. I have no choice but to put it away and find a way to find someone to help interpret it in the future.

Ding Yu found a restaurant and hastily returned to the palace after lunch, and saw more than a dozen servants carrying large bags of medicinal herbs into the palace, it seems that Wang Chuyi has been hit by the poisonous sand palm of the Lingzhi Master, perhaps it was Liang Ziweng's idea to buy out all the key medicinal materials for detoxification and healing. Ding Yu had an idea, stopped one of the thinnest servants, and said to him, "I just have something to find Liang Weng, so let's help you bring the medicinal herbs over by the way." The servant recognized Ding Yu as one of the martial arts people hired by the prince, and he did not suspect him, so he happily handed over the medicinal herb package to Ding Yu. Ding Yu is not an illiterate Guo Jing, his knowledge of medicinal materials for the treatment of trauma is even better than many Jianghu Langzhong, seeing Tian Qi, blood exhaustion, myrrh, bear bile four flavor medicines, so he divided some of each, wrapped them into a bag and hid it on a tree against the outer wall - the reason why he didn't put it on his body was because he knew that Liang Ziweng had a very sensitive nose, in case he smelled it, it was difficult to explain.

After that, he took the remaining medicinal herbs to Liang Ziweng's mansion, where only one medicine boy was directing the servants to move the medicinal herbs. The medicine boy saw Ding Yu hurriedly greet him, and said with a smile: "These servants of the royal palace should really take care of it, how dare they let the master do these heavy work." He sat at the same table as Ding Yu at the reception banquet, so they knew each other.

Ding Yu also smiled and said, "It's okay, there just happened to be a servant who broke his foot, so I will help out." With that, the two walked into Liang Ziweng's medicine house. While chatting nonsense with the medicine boy, he observed the layout of the room, and saw rows of large medicine jars in the room, and a large bamboo basket in the corner.

After returning to the room, Ding Yu stayed in the room to carry the internal force until sunset, when Wanyan Honglie arranged a banquet to entertain the five villains, and Liang Ziweng and his medicine boy went to the banquet. Ding Yu changed into a dark monk's robe, walked outside Liang Ziweng's medicine house, twisted the door lock, flashed inside, and went straight to the big bamboo basket in the corner by taking advantage of the sunset outside.

Besides, Guo Jing and Huang Rong were already acquainted with each other at this time, and the two broke into Zhao Wang's mansion at night in order to save Wang Chuyi, who was injured by poison, intending to steal the four vital wound medicines. They climbed into the palace of King Zhao from the outer wall, and after several twists and turns, they overheard that the purpose of Yan Honglie to recruit many masters was to go to the palace of the Great Song Dynasty to steal the "Wu Mu's Testament". After some discussion, they decided to go their separate ways, Huang Rong prostrated on the eaves of Xiangxue Hall to listen to Yan Honglie's plan, while Guo Jing violently subdued a palace steward and threatened him to ask Liang Ziweng for medicinal materials on his behalf. The housekeeper surnamed Jian cherished his life, so he had to take Guo Jing to find Liang Ziweng, who was going to the banquet and had no time to take a break, so he sent a medicine boy to go back to the hall with him to get medicine.

When the three of them came to the outside of the medicine house, the sharp-eyed boy found that the copper lock outside the door had been twisted in two and fell to the ground, and the door of the medicine house was empty, and it was pitch black inside. He was shocked, pushed the door and looked, only to see that everything inside was intact, except that the big bamboo basket had been knocked over to the ground, and Liang Ziweng's most precious medicine snake had disappeared! The boy was so frightened that his face was colorless, and he shouted loudly: "There is a thief!

Guo Jing was already weak-hearted, and when he heard the medicine boy's shouting, he thought that his deeds had been seen through, so he immediately punched the boy in the face. The medicine boy's martial arts skills are not high, but his reaction is still agile, and he avoids it dangerously, and says angrily: "What are you doing to beat me?" Guo Jing was stunned for a moment, didn't you already recognize me? Why did you ask me why I hit you? Don't watch out for Steward Jian behind him Taking this opportunity to run and shout all the way: "There are assassins!"

Guo Jing and the boy both woke up and complained about their own suffering. Guo Jing thought to himself: No matter how much, I will take down this boy and force him to help me find the four flavor medicinal materials, and then call Shangrong'er to run together. At that moment, he used the Nanshan palm technique passed on by Nan Xiren, and greeted the medicine boy with a quick move. Although the medicine boy had also practiced martial arts for several years, after all, he was young and there was not enough place in the house to dodge, so he was held down by Guo Jing as soon as he passed three or five moves. Guo Jing drank and asked, "Which jars are filled with Tian Qi, blood exhaustion, bear bile, and myrrh?"

The boy kept his mouth shut and didn't answer, Guo Jing was ruthless, and used the wrong hand taught by Zhu Cong, and grabbed the boy's forearm slowly, but the boy couldn't bear the pain, so he had to shout: "Don't break! Don't break! I'll tell you." After speaking, he pointed to four medicine jars. Guo Jing was in a hurry, where could he tell the difference between the true and the false, knocked the medicine boy stunned with one palm, and then took out the four flavors of medicinal materials and stuffed them into his arms according to his words, and ran out of the medicine house. Before he could run a few steps, he suddenly remembered that Yang Tiexin's father and daughter were caught in the palace by Wan Yankang, so he had a chivalrous attack, and planned to rescue them together and join Huang Rong again. Unexpectedly, when he was saving people, he met Bao Xi's weak prison visit, and Yang Tiexin recognized him, and Wan Yankang, who was watching from the sidelines, was like a thunderbolt, and refused to recognize his father, Guo Jing couldn't see it, and jumped out to teach Yan Kang a lesson, and the two fought again.

At this time, Liang Ziweng had already found that the pit viper was missing, and in a fit of rage, he looked for the snake thief everywhere, and just saw the fight between Guo Jing and the little prince, he rushed to the two of them, but smelled the smell of medicinal materials on Guo Jing's body, and said that since this person stole my medicine, then the loss of the treasure snake has nothing to do with him!

Let's talk about Huang Rong's side. She heard Steward Jian shouting "There is an assassin", she was shocked, she accidentally fell from the eaves, and was immediately discovered by the masters in the house, and was forced into the house after three or two efforts, Peng Lianhu, Sha Tongtian, Ouyang Ke and the seriously injured Lingzhi Master took turns to embarrass her, Rao is Huang Rong was full of wisdom, and she was also a little flustered for a while.

At this moment, he suddenly heard several muffled sounds of "bumper and bumper" one after another, and saw sawdust flying one after another, and a wooden wall of the Xiangxue Hall actually broke a big hole! Huang Rong was overjoyed, and the spirit under his feet flashed, and he was about to run out of the hole, but he saw an eighteen or nineteen-year-old monk standing in the middle of the hole, who looked very good-eyed, but was extremely burly, and a hole in the wall that could accommodate two people to pass side by side was blocked by him alone, and the remaining gap was no longer enough for him to pass through.

Huang Rong flashed her eyes and asked, "Great monk, are you also here to embarrass me?"

The monk smiled and said, "How come, little sister, you go by yourself, your brother Jing is in the back garden." As he spoke, he walked into the house through the hole in the wall, leaving the big hole behind him for Huang Rong to enter and exit.

Huang Rong was skeptical, and said with a smile: "Thank you, master!" moved to the edge of the hole in the wall with small steps, brushed and jumped out. She turned around and saw that the big monk really didn't move, but still stood firmly at the entrance of the wall, but blocked Peng Lianhu and others in the room, she was curious, but she was not in a hurry to leave, just stood outside the house to see how the monk would deal next.

This monk is none other than Ding Yu. He stole into Liang Ziweng's medicine house before, just for the snake blood of that treasure snake. He lifted the lid of the basket, and a crimson pit viper poked its head out of the opening. Ding Yu felt that the spirit rhino bead was only slightly hot, and knew that this pit viper had been fed elixir by Liang Ziweng all year round, and his physique had changed, and most of the toxicity had gone. In this way, he was even more relieved, with the strength of his physique, it would not be a big problem if such a weak poison was hit, so he had to reach out and grab the snake's neck.

However, the treasure snake suddenly made a strange move, it bent its neck and bumped its head on the edge of the bamboo basket again and again, like a person kowtowing, and then raised its head and looked at Ding Yu for a moment, and his eyes were very smart.

Ding Yu was surprised and asked, "Are you begging for mercy?" He blurted out this sentence, and he didn't expect to get a response, but he didn't expect the treasure snake to nod again and again. He couldn't help but ask, "Do you understand me?" and the snake nodded again.

It turns out that this pit viper is the genus of the snake king, after 20 years of feeding with various ginseng tonics, it has slowly opened its mind, although it is far from becoming a sperm, but it is similar to a three- or five-year-old child, plus it has been in contact with humans all year round, in fact, it is not too aggressive. The reason why Guo Jing was attacked in the original plot was only because Guo Jing knocked over the bamboo basket and frightened him, and he reacted instinctively for a while, even so, it was just wrapped around Guo Jing's body, and he didn't bite him with poisonous fangs at the first time, otherwise with Guo Jing's martial arts at that time, he would have been bitten a long time ago;

Ding Yu lifted the lid of the bamboo basket very slowly, so it did not alarm it, it thought it was a medicine boy coming to feed, but poked its head out to find that it was not, it was extremely sensitive to the qi machine, and immediately felt the killing intent of the opponent, and wanted to attack, but felt that the opponent's breath was much stronger than it, and finally decided to kowtow and beg for mercy.

Ding Yu was shocked at first, but then thought about it, since a big bird who didn't know whether it was an ostrich or an emu could practice martial arts through human nature, it was not surprising that a big snake that had eaten ginseng and deer antler velvet for twenty years could open up its spiritual intelligence. But this made him embarrassed, his original intention was to use the blood of the snake to improve his strength and poison resistance, but this snake has wisdom, and has no ill will towards him, but he can't bear to take its life - he kills people without mercy, because he has seen the treacherous human heart, and the animal always has good thoughts, as long as it is harmless to him, he will try not to kill.

On the one hand, there are interests, and on the other hand, principles, how to choose? Thinking about it in this way, it suddenly became clear: Could it be that after a few years of skill, he changed his behavior? ”

The treasure snake felt Ding Yu's killing intent dissipate, and its eyes seemed to reveal joy, it got out of the bamboo basket, opened the lid of a medicine jar with its head, got into it, wrapped it in a small red cloth, and sent it to Ding Yu. Ding Yu opened it and saw that it was a two-finger-thick old mountain ginseng with a full beard, which looked like it had been at least 500 years old! He patted his head and scolded: "Stupid! Liang Lao Wei is the king of Changbai Mountain ginseng, how can he not have a few treasure ginseng at the bottom of the box! Snake blood can be spared, and I will laugh at this ginseng!"

He saw that in addition to some small ginseng in the medicine jar, there was also a small red cloth package, and he took it immediately. At this time, the treasure snake suddenly swam up along Ding Yu's hand and wrapped its whole body around his arm, Ding Yu was stunned, thinking that it wanted to get back the second ginseng from him. He took the red cloth bag in his hand and asked, "You want this?"

The serpent shook his head.

Ding Yu had an idea and asked, "You want to come with me?"

The serpent immediately nodded his head. Liang Ziweng has malicious intentions towards it, it has long been aware of it, but it has never had a chance to escape, Ding Yu released it, although it can escape by itself, but it can feel that there are many powerful breaths nearby that make it feel afraid, the breath of this person in front of him is strong, and there is no malice towards itself, so it instinctively wants to attach to him.

Ding Yuxin said: If I don't save it, it will either be sucked by Guo Jing or eaten by Liang Ziweng. Since it gave me two precious ginsengs, I will save its life. At that moment, he took the snake into his arms, went to the palace to borrow a horse, and after a while, he went out of the city and came to a mountain forest outskirts. He saw that the forest was thick enough for the snake to hide, so he put the snake on the ground and let it escape on its own, and the snake coiled itself up, rubbed its head lightly on Ding Yu's leg a few times, and then meandered towards the depths of the mountain forest.

After harvesting two superb wild ginsengs, Ding Yu couldn't hold back his excitement.

Ginseng is a great tonic, it does not directly increase the internal force, but it can generate a large amount of elemental essence, and the elemental essence is the root of the internal force. Therefore, how much internal force a person increases after eating ginseng is not only related to the medicinal power of ginseng, but also related to the person's practice of transforming internal force. For example, an ordinary person who does not know martial arts, after eating ginseng for a hundred years, the essence of ginseng has risen sharply, and people feel that their spirits are vigorous and their spirits are sufficient. But these essences are water without a source and a wood without roots, and after three or five or seven days, they are gone, and the person will naturally return to his original state. And a martial artist with internal strength, after eating ginseng, he can refine the yuan produced by ginseng into internal force, but if his transformation speed can't catch up with the dissipation of yuan essence, it will still cause waste.

But for Ding Yu, his Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong has entered the third layer, and two chakras and three dragon elephant meridians have been generated in his body, and the speed of transforming internal force is more than twice that of ordinary martial artists, and taking ginseng can be described as trickle-down, so the significance of these two centuries-old wild ginseng to him is likely to exceed that of the pit viper blood.

He looked up at the sky, it was just getting dark, and he estimated that there was still an hour or two before the palace battle, so he simply tested the medicinal power of ginseng. He took out the smaller of them, pulled off a few ginseng tendrils, chewed them and swallowed them. After a while, he felt a warmth rising from the dantian, and he wrapped this warmth with his internal strength to run according to the line of the dragon elephant Prajnagong, and when the warmth disappeared, his internal strength really increased significantly. Ding Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and cut off half of it. This time the Yuan Jing was like a torrent of continuous generation, he ran with the internal force I don't know how many laps, and gradually there was an internal force diverted out from the Jizhong Acupoint, this internal force traveled hard around Ding Yu's ribs, but with the support of the ginseng Yuan Jing, he walked resolutely, half an inch, one inch, the heat flow generated by the ginseng became less and less, but this internal force finally reached the spine and converged with Ding Yu's third vein. At this point, two chakras and four meridians were generated in Ding Yu's body, and the dragon elephant entered the fourth layer, and the ginseng essence was also exhausted.
