Chapter 50: Reading Drugs
Time is like water, and time is like a shuttle. The days fly by, and in a blink of an eye, they are about to reach the end of the year.
Since ancient times, it has been the biggest festival of the Han people, although it was a time of war, but the approach of the New Year still made the people feel the joy. The businessmen who were walking abroad hurried home, and even the soldiers on the front line would inevitably be a little lax, but at such times, even the strictest officers would not say much, because the Spring Festival is such a special festival. People who have been on the road for a year will take advantage of this time to reunite with their families, and at this time any benefit is not as good as being with their families.
As this most important day approaches, Qiantang City is also filled with a festive atmosphere, everyone is busy, preparing New Year's goods or cleaning houses, and all shops are also decorated with new ones. But there will always be a little green in the ten thousand flowers, which is very eye-catching, and Desheng Building is this green, but it is not the emerald green that is cleverly spoken, but the annoying duck green.
Everyone knows that the owner of Desheng House has a different taste and is always at the forefront of outdated trends. In short, he just likes some very outdated things, and even if he has twenty-three helpers around him who can be literate and martial, it can't change him much at this point. Therefore, if it weren't for Desheng Building's reputation and first-class service, its appearance alone would have won the crown of the worst merchant of the year without any suspense.
In the face of the kind words and persuasion of the people around him, Wang Yuxin also said vigorously: "What's wrong with Desheng Tower? Isn't it retro here? Look here, look here, I decorate it in the style of the Han Dynasty, and there is a lot of quaint atmosphere." β
Wang Yuxin said this, and everyone began to argue with him, but Wang Yuxin was very stubborn in this regard, and did not listen to anyone's advice at all, and everyone really didn't need to spend too much energy with him in this regard, and over time they went with him, so if there was a topic about this aspect, everyone would casually say a few perfunctory words.
Du Zun said sarcastically: "Yes, your style here is too retro, look at the peeling wall skin, and the faded wood paint, not to mention the Han Dynasty, even if the buildings of the Great Qin Dynasty are not necessarily more retro than yours." Look at the decoration at your door, the spiral shape and simple color, it is really too ancient. You smell it, this smell, I'll go, this fucking cow is shitting everywhere, is there any public morality. β
"Bisheng" people don't have time to waste on this kind of boring thing, Wang Yuxin feels very good about himself, so the style of Desheng Building is still the same, but in order to integrate into the festive atmosphere, a few lanterns are still hung in front of the door of Desheng Building.
As the saying goes, hard work doesn't know how time passes, whether Wang Yuxin feels the rapid passage of time, we don't know, but he is really hard during this time.
Since he made such an agreement with Jiang Fo, those people who "must win" really haven't come to trouble him again. Wang Yuxin can sleep peacefully every day, but he has not reached the realm of not staying in things as Jiang Buddha said, as soon as he hears something happening, he will wake up immediately, which is also a habit developed by the "victory" of thousands of tortures.
And the only thing that makes Wang Yuxin feel gratified is that his internal cultivation is growing steadily, although slowly, the progress that can be seen will always make people feel happy. And he is also repeatedly groping for what Jiang Buddha said about condensing the essence and energy in his body, and now Wang Yuxin, even when he is awake, will no longer cause a strong reaction from others like at the beginning. Wang Yuxin gives people the feeling that he is a practitioner, but it is really difficult to judge what kind of Cheng dΓΉ is practiced, and it is really difficult to judge.
This kind of progress really surprised Jiang Fo, and he couldn't help but sigh, this thing is really a dirty thing, the qualification for martial arts training is average, and learning how to hide yourself is really a good thing.
Although Wang Yuxin is very busy, other people's lives are more comfortable, playing the piano, dancing, cooking, and winemaking. Poetry and painting, practicing calligraphy and tasting tea, in a word, sums up their mood is that they are willing to live a lifetime with such a day. But people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, they are already in the rivers and lakes, even if they want to live some ordinary lives, some external obstacles will not be as they wish, and this obstacle is Wang Yuxin.
Although the "Victory" people enjoy such a peaceful life, if it weren't for seeing Wang Yuxin, they would almost have forgotten the existence of the rivers and lakes, but to say that Wang Yuxin is an obstacle is not complete. These people are gathered together because of Wang Yuxin, they are here to protect Wang Yuxin, if they were not selected at the beginning, maybe they are still performing other tasks at the moment, or assassination, or treasure hunting, or fighting for human life for a quarrel, although they are all leaders of the younger generation, but no one dares to guarantee that they can still breathe the air of this world in the next moment.
People who are tired of the battle in the rivers and lakes want to quit the rivers and lakes, this is by no means the hypocrisy of the superiors, but the perception of the survivors, I believe that at first they will definitely not want to set foot in the rivers and lakes, but the ubiquitous rivers and lakes will involve them in endless disputes.
Many people can see that if they want to survive in the deceitful rivers and lakes, the only way is to constantly enrich themselves, and have the means to save their lives in any dangerous situation. The ones who live the longest are definitely not heroes and heroes, but those who know how to bend and stretch. Once you set foot on the rivers and lakes, it is not easy to retire if you want to succeed, and the only way to quit the rivers and lakes is death.
Although all the people of "Victory" are young, they know this deeply, so even when they enjoy a peaceful life, they will not let themselves relax.
Everyone understands the truth, Wang Yuxin naturally knows, even if he couldn't figure it out before, after the breakthrough of the qualitative change in his heart, he also figured out the truth. So after having an agreement with Jiang Fo, Wang Yuxin studied all kinds of miscellaneous studies more attentively, and he didn't know what some things would be useful, but he wouldn't be able to when he needed them, that was the most terrifying.
"Have you read all the poison scriptures for you?" Shi Wei asked Wang Yuxin casually while tinkering with the bottles and cans in his hands.
"I took a look. Wang Yuxin replied indiscriminately.
"What do you mean by probably? If you see it, you see it, and if you don't see it, you don't see it. Shi Wei glanced at Wang Yuxin suspiciously,
"Uh...... Probably...... Looked. Wang Yuxin said hesitantly.
"You...... Well, let me ask you, what will be the effect of the large-leaved vine with the bark of the bitter ginseng flower and the Baise tree?" Shi Wei put down what he was doing.
"Together, the three can cause the wound to fester, and chewing can cause the tooth to fall out. β
Shi Wei nodded: "Well, how is the soft tendon scatter made?"
"Two parts of night vanilla, one part of tooth amaranth, five drops of viper venom, one spoonful of red toad venom, three purple peaks, and a bottle of dew from the five-color mandala, which are ground and dried and ground into powder, need to be held in a porcelain bottle. Wang Yuxin replied very fluently.
"Yes, young man, you're very talented, hehe. Shi Wei smiled very happily, he felt that Wang Yuxin seemed to be very enlightened in the use of drugs, and he might be a good apprentice.
"Shi Wei, can we discuss something?" Wang Yuxin asked Shi Wei with a flattering face.
"What's the matter, tell me. Shi Wei seems to be in a good mood.
"I'll learn poison knowledge with you, and you can see if you can only learn theory and not practice. β
"Hmm, what do you mean?" Shi Wei didn't quite understand.
"I mean, it's okay for you to let me carry anything, can you not let me touch those poisonous things?" Wang Yuxin finally said what was in his heart.
"Nonsense, if you don't touch it, how can you tell what is poisonous and what is not, I tell you that many things in this world look similar, but their temperament is far from the same, if you want to learn to use poisonous methods, not only to see and touch and smell, but also to taste when necessary. Even if I'm at such a high level now, I still have to taste some things to tell for myself. Shi Wei said and picked up an earthworm-like bug, put it in his mouth and chewed it a few times.
Seeing this, Wang Yuxin immediately jumped backwards, trembling all over, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, his stomach churned, and he suppressed himself and didn't vomit.
Shi Wei chewed twice and spit out the worm: "This is an ordinary earthworm, it is not poisonous, but it doesn't taste very good, if you only survive the yellow sand earthworm in the desert, even I don't dare to put it in my mouth." β
Listening to Shi Wei's eloquent talk, Wang Yuxin felt that this person was too disgusting, if he didn't think that it was very useful to recognize and distinguish drugs, Wang Yuxin would never have learned from Shi Wei.
"You can't be so scared, right?" Shi Wei wiped his mouth and asked disdainfully.
"Whoever is scared is a little ...... Hair in my heart. β
"Cut, this is not called fear, what is fear, you must not learn from Li Feng's coward, a big man is still afraid of a few bugs. Shi Wei stimulated Wang Yuxin with a disdainful expression.
Aren't you afraid? Wang Yuxin originally wanted to refute it like this, but after thinking about it, the man in front of him was really not afraid, God knows where he hid a strange creature with extremely poisonous poison.
Seeing that Wang Yuxin was stunned and didn't speak, Shi Wei continued: "Don't think of poison as too terrible, it's about three points of poison, and everything can be said to be toxic in practice, but we can ignore some poisons, and we can't bear some poisons." Fear definitely doesn't come from these poisons, but only from your heart, and maybe one day you'll find these things cute. β
"Even if I could use these things, I would never find them cute. Wang Yuxin muttered a few words, but when he heard Shi Wei's explanation, the fear in his heart decreased slightly.
"It's good to take your time, although poison can kill, it saves people more often. Although martial arts can be used for self-protection, but more often than not, they are used to kill people. Shi Wei gestured to the bottles in his hand.
"Murder?" Wang Yuxin muttered softly, "I never thought of killing someone!"
"You have your mission, and in the process of completing your mission, you will inevitably have to kill people. Sometimes if you don't kill others, others will kill you, do you want to die?" asked Shi Wei Zhengse.
"I don't want to die, but ......"
"It's nothing, from the day we found you, no, from the day you entered the Xuanming Cave, you are destined to live an extraordinary life, maybe in the future you will feel that killing people is not a big deal. β
Wang Yuxin looked at Shi Wei carefully, as if he didn't know him, he knew that the other party was right, but he said human life so lightly, what did Shi Wei experience?
"Don't look at me, you may understand my words in the future, everyone has to get together for a meeting in the evening, don't be late, I still have a copy of "Tasting Poison" here, you can also take it and take a look. Shi Wei said softly, and at the same time handed over an ancient book, he understood Wang Yuxin's confusion at this time.
Wang Yuxin nodded, took the book handed to him by Shi Wei, and walked out silently, before going out, he turned around and asked Shi Wei: "How many people have you killed?"
"I can't remember, it's too many. Not only me, but all of us have blood on our hands, otherwise we wouldn't be alive today, even if it is Fan Lu, she has definitely killed no fewer people than me. β
With a "snap", the book in Wang Yuxin's hand fell to the ground.
Off topic: At the end of the first volume, I don't know how my friends feel when they look at it, in short, I think it's very poorly written, but I still ask friends to look forward to the follow-up content, and I hope to improve in the exploration. Welcome to Volume 2: Hundred Ghosts at Night
