Chapter 2256 The Miao Youth Loves Me 18
The aroma of medicine in Lingcao Hall became heavier as the dusk fell.
When Bai Xi stepped over the threshold, she saw Nan Yixing wiping a green jade token.
Jinchen leaned lazily on the armchair, playing with a small bamboo cage in his hands.
Fan Ruoxi and Chu Wan were chatting about interesting things at Broken Dragon Cliff, and He Mo Ning would also interject from time to time, so the atmosphere was pretty good.
As soon as Baishen arrived, they all looked over.
"Brother, what are you doing..." Bai Su forced a smile but was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Kneel down."
Nan Yixing's voice was not loud, but it shocked Bai Xi's heart.
He recognized the green jade token. It was the token he had been longing for, passed down by successive masters of the South Gate.
Although Nan Yixing is the heir, he has never used it before.
Bai Shi realized something and was a little dazed. Suddenly, his knee was hit by a silver needle and he knelt down.
"At the bottom of Broken Dragon Cliff, you led me to the West Cliff, hoping to kill me and implicate Jinchen." Nan Yixing placed the token on the table, "It was the code used by the South Gate to ask for help."
Bai Shi's face turned pale: "I, I just..."
Nan Yixing: "Last night, you saw that Jinchen was not fooled, and you also knew that he would bear the damage for Jinque, so you tampered with Jinque's medicine, hoping to prevent Jinchen from participating in the competition."
He pulled a small paper bag from his sleeve and threw it on the ground.
The paper package opened, revealing the blackened medicine residue inside.
Bai Shi's fingertips began to tremble, "Luo Xiao... forced me to do this."
"South Gate rules."
Nan Yixing stood up, his token glowing coldly in the twilight. "Those who harmed their fellow disciples and treated the Nanmen's life-saving code as a joke should be expelled from the sect."
Chu Wan stood aside holding the medicine grinder, and said unhappily: "Junior brother, we all know about your affairs."
Bai Xi suddenly pounced forward and tried to grab Nan Yixing's sleeve.
"You can't chase me away! I've been in Nanmen for more than ten years! Master loves me the most! How long have you been back? What gives you the right to do that?!"
Jinchen's red snake suddenly jumped out, blocked his way and hissed.
"From today on, you are no longer allowed to call yourself the doctor of Nanmen." Nan Yixing put the token in his arms.
"If you harm others while practicing medicine..." He paused, "and affect the reputation of Nanmen, I will clean up the mess."
Bai Shen collapsed on the ground, and with red eyes, he tried to pull He Mo Ning, "Fourth Senior Brother, please say something for me... I can't be kicked out... And Second Senior Brother, we grew up together, and it's only been a few years since the eldest senior brother came back? How could you do this to me!"
He Mo Ning originally wanted to plead for him, but...
"Brother Jinque's health is not good to begin with, and you still dare to give him medicine. Where is your kindness as a doctor?"
He Mo Ning pulled back his sleeves, "You deserve it."
Jinchen played with the bamboo cage, laughed, and said softly: "This cage is well woven, just right for your little tricks."
"I don't care! Master didn't give the order, Nan Yixing...you have no right to drive me away!"
Bai Su bit her lip, looked at them angrily, turned around and ran away.
-
Luo Xiao was punished by the high priest to kneel in the ancestral hall for a day, but he came up with a good way to deal with Jin Chen.
The night was as dark as ink, and the bronze door hinges of the ancestral hall made a harsh creaking sound.
Luo Xiao held up a fire starter, and the flames flickered in the deep tunnel, reflecting the mottled ancient Gu patterns on the stone walls on both sides.
"What... is in this?" Bai Shi followed behind and stepped on something, making a crisp sound.
He looked down and saw that it was a piece of yellowed animal bone. He was so scared that he stepped back quickly.
Luo Xiao sneered, the firelight illuminating his sinister profile, "What are you afraid of?"
He reached out and pushed open the stone door at the deepest part of the underground palace that was engraved with strange runes, and explained, "Two blood poison mothers are enshrined here."
"Live mother Gu drinks the blood of living people, so the poison is not strong. Corpse mother Gu chews on dead people's bones, so the poison is extremely strong."
Behind the stone gate is a circular stone chamber with a bronze tripod standing in the center, with nine lifelike snake reliefs entwined around the body of the tripod.
The tripod was filled with dark red liquid, which glowed strangely under the firelight.
"The mother of the Gu is in the cauldron."
Luo Xiao lowered his voice and took out a small silver bottle from his arms, "Take a few drops of its blood and mix it with your herbs."
Bai Shen swallowed her saliva and said in a trembling voice: "Will this really not be discovered?"
There was a gleam of ruthlessness in Luo Xiao's eyes.
If the poison of the corpse poison mother was not too strong, he would not dare to touch it easily, otherwise he would have used it to kill Jinchen directly!
There is no need to think of such a roundabout way!
"The blood of the mother who gave birth to the Gu is colorless and tasteless. After it was mixed with the herbs, even my father couldn't detect it." He smiled sinisterly, "Who would have thought that it was the mother who caused the trouble?"
Luo Xiao knocked the nearest bronze tripod with the scabbard in his hand.
"This isn't fatal. When the villagers have unbearable stomachaches, they can just say that the gods are dissatisfied with Jinchen, the Holy Son. Then I will help them get rid of the poison..."
Luo Xiao looked at Bai Xi and gently stroked his face, "Don't forget, you can only get the bone-penetrating needle technique after I become the Holy Son."
Bai Shi's hands trembled slightly, but she still took the silver bottle.
Under the firelight, the liquid in the bronze tripod suddenly rippled, as if something was swimming in the depths.
Taking advantage of the night, Luo Xiao and Bai Shi wanted to mix the blood into the jar of wine to be drunk tomorrow before the Holy Son Ceremony.
The wine jar was placed next to the altar in the square.
at the same time.
Jinchen sat cross-legged on the bamboo bed in the stilt house, the moonlight shining on him through the window lattice.
Spiritual breath can force out the poisonous insect, but one must consider the health of the body and can only proceed step by step.
Fortunately, the effect is good. Now even if Jinque continues to act up, he will not be immediately retaliated and suffer pain.
There were several boxes placed beside the bed, all filled with gifts from the villagers.
Ling Gunguntuan ate a lot at the bedside and was very satisfied.
They are all natural treasures, good things!
A red snake suddenly poked its head out from his sleeve and spit out its tongue towards the altar.
Jinchen asked lazily, his fingers gently stroking the red snake's scales.
The red snake twisted restlessly, with the tip of its tail pointing out the window.
Jinchen looked in that direction and vaguely saw a figure swaying towards the altar.
He patted the dumpling on the bedside.
Ling rolled over and lay on Jinchen's head.
[Eh…? ]
[The two protagonists are...drinking wine secretly? Oh, what a poor fellow. ]
Jinchen narrowed his eyes, wrapped the red snake around his wrist, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
