#111 - Cindy's Poison (Please Order)
Shen Ying left, leaving peacefully.
She was buried under the plum tree in Jade Pearl Manor, in the pit the Murong brothers had left when they were looking for wine, too lazy to fill it in.
There was a ready-made box, and a ready-made pit, so the Murong brothers saved some effort.
Before being buried, Shen Ying instructed that if they dug her out later, Duan Yun should open the box.
The Murong brothers asked, "Why?"
He regretted asking as soon as he finished speaking; Shen Ying's answer really made him uncomfortable.
"The last time I opened a box, I found him pleasing to the eye. This time, I want the first person I see when I open my eyes to be someone pleasing to the eye too."
The Murong brothers, inexplicably stuffed with dog food, cursed and stomped a few times on the soil, compacting the burial ground before leaving.
Shen Ying didn't actually want to "hibernate" so quickly. Her previous conversation with the Murong brothers was actually to indicate that she wanted to follow Duan Yun.
But when she realized that Duan Yun hadn't invited her, she couldn't possibly follow him shamelessly, could she?
And she just happened to be in the "winter silkworm" stage, so she chose to be buried.
The last time she was submerged in water, Duan Yun interrupted her Nine Deaths Silkworm cultivation, causing a slight problem, which she could take this opportunity to remedy.
Duan Yun left, Shen Ying was buried, the Murong brothers also left, and even the gray donkey was ridden away by Duan Yun.
Thus, Jade Pearl Manor once again became a deserted, empty house.
When the "insider" golden monkey came looking for them with a stack of apples, it didn't even see a hair.
After waiting for some time, the monkey felt that it couldn't wait for the people in this manor, so it had to rush back to report the news.
In the deserted Jade Pearl Manor, two people soon arrived.
One was very tall and had bright eyes, looking like a gorilla, and the other had a long red fleshy瘤 on the top of his head, looking very scary.
These two were naturally the Monkey Aspect and the Rooster Aspect.
Monkey Wuyah stroked the golden monkey's head very gently, but the golden monkey was already trembling.
The next moment, a shrill monkey scream rang out.
Monkey Wuyah had inserted a thin tube into the golden monkey's head and took a sip.
After that, he pulled out the tube, stroked the golden monkey's wound, and said, "Go find Duan Old Devil. If you can't find him, you won't just lose a mouthful."
The golden monkey jumped out of the yard in a panic. In the mountains and forests, many jumping figures soon appeared.
Duan Yun rode Little Gray on the road, neither fast nor slow.
Looking at the clouds in the sky, he once again had the feeling of being on the road.
This feeling was very good, especially since he was wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a long sword and a saber, making him look even more like a young hero than when he left Linshui City.
Since the battle at the Burial Mound, the young hero had not gone out to uphold justice for a long time.
He had rested long enough. There were still so many evil demons and heretics in this world waiting for him to kill, how could he slack off!
The young hero's ambition rose again.
The main goal this time was naturally to kill the Pig.
The information about the Pig Aspect, Pig Blackface, which he had obtained at a great price, was very unremarkable.
After Pig Aspect Pig Blackface released the words that he would torture him beyond recognition, he had not moved at all and had been living in his Vermilion Manor.
Vermilion Manor was in the north, located at the border of Yun Province and Yu Province.
Duan Yun didn't know how long it would take him to arrive, which depended on whether the person pointing the way had a conscience.
The further north he went, the steeper the mountains became.
This day, Duan Yun rode Little Gray on a mountain path, with a steep mountain wall that even monkeys had difficulty climbing on one side, and a bottomless cliff on the other.
A small stone rolled off the path and disappeared straight into the sea of clouds under the cliff, without even a sound of landing.
It was already dusk, dark clouds were pressing down, mountain winds were blowing, and from time to time, there were bursts of ape howls, like ghosts crying.
There was no village or shop in sight, and Duan Yun found it difficult to find a place to stay for the night.
In fact, he was already used to camping in the wilderness. He had been out for seven or eight days, and he had spent half of his time camping in the wilderness.
But in this kind of place, even camping in the wilderness was difficult, and there was always the illusion that people would be blown off the cliff by the strong wind.
At this moment, Little Gray suddenly lost his footing and almost fell off the cliff with the person and the donkey.
Duan Yun had no choice but to get off the donkey and lead it forward.
It soon got dark.
There was no star or moon tonight, and fog rose again in the night. Duan Yun could only lead the gray donkey forward step by step on the dangerous road.
The mountains at night were like a ghost domain, and the wild trees growing on the cliffs brandished their claws like ghost claws.
After nightfall, there were many sections of the road where it was difficult to see one's fingers, always giving people the feeling that there were terrible monsters hidden all around.
Suddenly, Duan Yun saw a little light.
That light was not far ahead, like a swaying lantern.
Where there was light, there were people. His water bag had been empty in the afternoon. Although this was nothing to him, who had achieved cultivation, psychologically, he still wanted to eat and drink a meal and relax.
The young hero was also a person, and he also had to eat and sleep.
Duan Yun quickened his pace and leaned towards the lantern.
This lantern was red. When he got closer, it looked like the eyes of a monster in the mountains, with a bit of weirdness.
At this time, Duan Yun had already heard human voices.
"Hurry up, you son of a bitch!"
"Boss, where's my dish?"
"Drink up, drink up and go!"
Looking from here, there was not just one lantern in front, but a line of them connected to the mountain wall.
In this gloomy and terrifying mountain, there was actually a night market, and there were many people inside?
There was no village in front and no shop in the back. Where did these people come from?
There should be other roads in the mountain forest at night, but they were not clear.
But it was really lively here.
What Duan Yun found novel was that the road here was not much wider, at most allowing a carriage to pass, but it could accommodate so many people and shops.
This was all due to the many bamboos inserted on the cliff side of the road.
These bamboos were arranged together, not very tightly, but formed a certain space.
Many people were lying on these bamboo rafts, casually covering themselves with a quilt and snoring.
One had to know that under the bamboo was a bottomless cliff. If a person was not honest when sleeping, he would probably fall down and die.
But these people slept very soundly, as if they were used to this matter.
At this time, new people appeared on the road.
That was a fat man, sitting on a bamboo sedan chair made of bamboo poles, carried by two porters, leisurely coming from the steep mountain road below.
In front, there was also a restaurant.
This restaurant was also built on bamboo rafts, which looked very unstable, as if it would fall off the cliff at any time.
But no one disliked this place. In this late night, there were several tables of people sitting in the small restaurant.
From here, Duan Yun could already see a cook with a square scarf wrapped around his head, enthusiastically stir-frying dishes inside.
Duan Yun tied the gray donkey to the side and went straight into the restaurant.
"Drink up, drink up and go!"
"Don't talk about that, if you don't drink, you're not loyal. I'll rape you on the spot!"
Vermilion Manor was located at the border of Yun Province and Yu Province, and judging from the steep mountain terrain and the accent of the people, this Yu Province should have some similarities with the Sichuan and Chongqing of the previous life.
There were seven tables in the small restaurant, and one table was empty, so Duan Yun sat down.
Many people inside had loud voices, especially the one who was urging people to drink.
And Duan Yun noticed that two tables of people were wearing deerskin gloves on one hand.
Deerskin gloves were only worn on one hand. From the shallow knowledge Duan Yun had inquired about on the road, these should be people from the Tang Sect.
The Tang Sect was in Yu Province, and the Tang Sect disciples were extremely difficult people to provoke in this area.
Because they not only had money but also poison.
The Tang Sect's hidden weapons and poison were famous throughout the world. These people wore deerskin gloves to facilitate the use of poisonous hidden weapons.
The Tang Sect's poison took effect too quickly. Even if they had an antidote on their body, sometimes they would be poisoned before they could eat it, so they had to be careful themselves.
It was said that a Tang Sect master once accidentally wiped his mouth with a poisoned handkerchief and poisoned himself to death.
It had to be said that just wearing the deerskin gloves gave people a strong sense of oppression.
After Duan Yun came in, some people looked over here a few times and then shifted their gaze.
Duan Yun was dressed as a standard Jianghu hero, but he was carrying both a sword and a saber, which showed that he had some skills.
Not everyone could practice both the sword and the saber well.
At this point, Duan Yun was really hungry.
He looked at the table next to him and said, "Waiter, bring me a copy of what's on this table."
"Okay."
The wine and dishes were quickly served. The dish was a common red oil medley in Yu Province, with pig intestines, pig blood, pig liver, and pork mixed in bright red oil. It was not refined, but it was very satisfying to eat.
The wine was contained in bamboo tubes. If you wanted to drink, you could pour it out of the bamboo tube. It had a fragrance of bamboo leaves.
Duan Yun had been on the road for so long and was already hungry, so he started eating straight away.
However, during the eating process, he was still careful and cautiously tested whether there was any poison.
In the Jianghu, it was much simpler for people like him who had cultivated a mouthful of pure true energy to test whether there was any poison than ordinary Jianghu travelers. He only needed to observe whether the true energy was running smoothly.
So far, there was no problem.
So he ate and drank with peace of mind.
Whoosh.
A gust of mountain wind blew, causing the lanterns at the entrance of the restaurant to sway left and right, and even the clouds and mist between the cliffs poured into the house, making it look hazy here for a while.
Suddenly, a Tang Sect disciple stood up and shouted, "Not good, there's poison in the wine!"
With a thud, he fell down.
Thud, thud, thud!
Soon, the people in the house fell one after another.
Duan Yun also noticed that the true energy in his body suddenly became unsmooth, as if it had suddenly erupted.
The true energy in his body could be considered thick, not enough to be poisoned and knocked down, but he also very actively followed the crowd and "cooperatively" fell down.
Under the table, all the wine he had just drunk flowed out along his fingers.
"How is this possible!"
A Tang Sect disciple struggled, trying to stand up.
Yes, the Tang Sect's poison was famous throughout the world. Tang Sect disciples could be said to have grown up in a pile of poison since childhood. They didn't need to taste it to know if there was poison in the wine. They could just look at it.
But at this moment, these ten or so Tang Sect people were poisoned.
At this time, the wind outside was even stronger, and a woman's charming laughter came - "Ordinary poisons can't poison you, but our Holy Fairy's Fairy Dew Water is colorless and tasteless, and has a natural fragrance. Even you people who play with poison can't detect it."
As soon as these words came out, the blue faces of the Tang Sect people changed drastically.
"Fairy Dew Water, Red Mansion Fairy!"
In the churning clouds and mist, three Red Mansion women flew down, looking like fairies falling from the ninth heaven.
"Red Mansion Madwomen."
At this moment, Duan Yun, who was lying under the table, also changed his expression, becoming unusually excited.
Young hero, ah, my ten percent power of the amorous finger force has finally found a target to display it!
But what exactly is that Fairy Dew Water?
Is it poison?
A poison that even the Tang Sect people can't detect?
