Chapter 307: The Oriole Is Behind
The five poisonous insects were sealed with a deadly coldness in her palm, like a monster with a dark mouth that could suck her whole body into it, making Ling Ji, the spiritual snake in the Palace of Eternal Life, feel an invisible fear at this time.
It is indeed unusual. The disciples of the Palace of Eternal Life originally used the insect seal to absorb the vitality of the host to achieve the so-called "eternal life". However, she still had no idea about feeding her flesh and blood to the insect insects and fusing all her soul into the insect seal. She could only say that the founder of the insect seal was not for immortality at all, and even gave up her life, and wanted to kill her!
Ling Ji was stunned and the corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously. Although she had heard some old things from the old palace master, she still sighed when she could do this. A person could only form a complete Five Poison Worm Seal in his life. Every time he transferred the host, the Worm Seal would suffer from different degrees of damage, so it would most likely be completely destroyed and ineffective when he was about two hundred years old. While absorbing vitality, the Worm Seal could also absorb the host's spiritual power and cultivation according to the degree of his disciple's practice. However, most ordinary disciples would only choose ordinary people to start. After all, to transfer the Five Poison Worm Seal to a new target, it would need to take a blood seal from her waist. Although she had successfully recovered the Five Poison Worm Seal from Mingshu, how to transfer it to Yun Qiushui is still a problem.
Yun Qiushui silently stepped forward and stopped the two of them. She was afraid that she would say something hurtful, Ling Ji quickly moved away with tactfulness. Her eyes looked around the entire inn and finally looked at Boss Zhang's room on the second floor. She had a sudden inspiration and her fingers were silently manipulated in her wide sleeves. However, a middle-aged woman rushed out of the guest room in a panic. She was the third wife of Boss Zhang. She was covered in wet clothes, her face was red, and her hair was covered with water droplets. She rushed towards her and kept thinking: "My Goddess, go and see my master! We soaked in the potion all night as you told me. This morning I felt that it was not painful or itchy. I thought it was okay, but just now... the master suddenly fainted with a scream. OK, save my master!"
Lingji pretended to show surprise and asked calmly: "Dispair? Are there any other abnormalities in the room?"
The third lady was facing Lingji, her pupils were strangely erected in a line, and she replied mechanically: “Yes, there are strange sounds, and there seems to be a snake crawling on the floor!”
Snake! When Yun Qiushui heard this word from her, she immediately remembered that there was a snake tail mark on the corner of the insect mark on Mingshu's body, so she took the initiative to answer: "Madam, don't be anxious, take me to see the situation of the master first."
The third lady's pupils instantly returned to normal again. She seemed to have not heard clearly what she was saying. She showed a puzzled expression and looked around strangely up and down, left and right.
Ling Ji smiled in her heart, but she didn't expect that this person was so easy to deceive. Yun Qiushui was also a sensible figure when she was young. As the only woman among the four peaks of Kunlun, she was said to have taken over the swordsmanship from her master in her early twenties. In the following years, she had gone down the mountain several times and left famous deeds in the Central Plains martial arts world. But somehow, such a powerful woman suddenly sealed her sword and retired in one year. It is said that she returned to Kunlun Mountain alone with her pregnancy and disappeared after that.
Woman... Ling Ji sighed silently, not sure whether it was a pity or a ridicule. As expected, no matter how powerful a woman is, she will become a fool if she is sincere, right?
Thinking of this, Ling Ji immediately stepped forward and grabbed the third wife and said with a smile: "What are you doing when you stand stupidly? It's rare that the people from Xianshan are here. They must be better at dealing with these things than me. Let's lead the way for the wife."
Yun Qiushui looked back at Mingshu who was in a daze, touched her cheek and whispered: "You just wait for me here, I'll be back later, don't run around, okay?"
Princess Mingshu looked at her blankly and nodded dullly.
The three of them walked towards Boss Zhang's room together. The two wives were nervously guarding the bedside. The whole room was filled with smoke and could not breathe. Yun Qiushui waved her sleeves and wanted to push the window to get some breath. But when she thought of the strange black fog in the town, she could only give up for a while. She walked carefully to the bedside, reached out to touch Boss Zhang's forehead, and then carefully observed around. There was a steaming big wooden barrel in the middle of the guest room. There was indeed a strong aroma of medicine spreading from the water. He seemed to have just come out of the bucket, and his whole body was still red and hot, his lips and teeth were moving rapidly, as if he was still talking nonsense.
The eldest lady wanted to speak, but Lingji put her fingers gently on the center of her lips and shook her head. Sure enough, a creepy snake sound came from the quiet guest room, mixed with hissing sounds, which were very strange.
Although Yun Qiushui is the master of the Sword Retreat Peak, she has often visited Luwu Mountain, which is a real person in Qingqiu for many years. She has learned a lot of Kunlun's unique medical skills through her eyes. She smelled the strange aromatherapy in the guest room, and her eyes kept wandering on the several incense burners that had just died out. She asked again: "What is there in it?"
"It's a deworming herb." Ling Ji answered with a snatch, reached out to lift the water in the wooden barrel, and said with a smile, "Isn't Boss Zhang so scared that he lost his soul by the ants. I put some deworming medicine in the water and lit aromatherapy around me. I guess the ladies' bodies are no longer painful or itchy now, right?"
"Well, it won't hurt anymore." The eldest lady looked at the witch gratefully, holding Mr. Zhang's hand tightly, with tears in her eyes. Yun Qiushui was just hesitant. The fragrance of the room was indescribable. It seemed that it could cover something, which could gradually make her five senses gradually lose and even get a little sleepy. She could not only use Kunlun's mental method to clear her mind. The second lady also followed her up at this time and pointed to Mr. Zhang who was unconscious and said with lingering fear. "The master has just come out of the wooden barrel and said much better. The eldest sister is still wiping the master's body. I just wanted to get the clean clothes for him to change into, and then...
The two ladies looked at each other and couldn't help but sobbed. Ling Ji chuckled and her eyes were flowing, deliberately reminding: "Is there anything unusual about Mr. Zhang?"
The eldest lady shook her hand, as if she remembered something in an instant, her face changed drastically, and she nodded and said, "By the way, when I was wiping the water to the master just now, she saw a strange pattern suddenly appearing on his waist, like a snake's tail, and it can move!"
"Snake tail?" Yun Qiushui's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately remembered the five poisonous insect mark on Mingshu's body, and said nervously, "Help me up and take a look."
"Hey, okay." The eldest lady carefully helped Mr. Zhang up from the head of the bed, and supported him with her body to expose her back. The second lady stepped forward to help take off her shirt. Yun Qiushui tilted her head and saw that there was indeed a green snake tail mark on Mr. Zhang's waist. She did not dare to act rashly, but asked the two ladies to support Mr. Zhang first and not move. The spiritual power of Kunlun gathered under her palms and carefully stabbed into the mark.
With a "hiss", a snake letter was spit out from the snake's tail mark. The second lady screamed and took a step back. Yun Qiushui's eyes quickly pierced in the surroundings of the mark, sealing all his evil power with spiritual power. The skin in her waist began to stir up. It seemed as if there was a creature inside that wanted to break out of her skin. The eldest lady was so scared that her whole body was weak that she could hardly help the big man. Ling Ji smiled and reached out to take Master Zhang from the eldest lady's hand. She winked at the three ladies and said, "Stop a little further away to avoid being injured by accident."
Yun Qiushui was just staring at the snake tail mark with all his attention. The blood flowed out after the long needle of spiritual power penetrated was a fluorescent green. After a few needles, Mr. Zhang's face was as pale as paper. He was about to breathe. Yun Qiushui was extremely unfamiliar with the evil magic of the Palace of Longevity and could only take risks. She gradually changed the long needle in her hand into a dagger, cutting her skin from top to bottom along the snake tail mark, and pulling out a thin "line" with her fingers on her other hand, drilling into the flesh and blood bit by bit.
Lingji's face changed, and she also looked at the subtle changes in her hand in surprise. She seemed to be motionless. In fact, the thread had wrapped around the tail of the spirit snake in an instant and was carefully pulling it out of her body.
However, after a while, Yun Qiushui was sweating heavily, and felt a vague feeling of uneasiness in her heart, but she couldn't say anything. She had clearly grasped the snake's tail, but there was still some strange power in the secret that she had been competing with her, so that every time she tried to pull the snake's tail out of her body, she would be forced back. She was confused and couldn't help but look up at Ling Ji directly opposite. Ling Ji did not notice that the sharpness in Yun Qiushui's eyes was revealed at this moment, and she still seriously controlled the snake's tail in Boss Zhang's body to prevent it from being destroyed by her.
Yun Qiushui slowly lowered her head quietly, one hand holding the pulling "line", and the other hand had quietly dissipated the dagger and condensed into a sword. It was indeed her. This person began to approach Mingshu intentionally or unintentionally, and at this time he pretended to help him save people. Could it be that in addition to the old palace master, there were other disciples in the Palace of Eternal Life that also participated in it?
According to Kunlun's investigation, in addition to the hall master, there were five insect control envoys. There were now snakes running in this room. Could it be that the legendary spiritual snake envoy?
Ling Ji was competing with her secretly, and suddenly saw something shaky in the dim room. He said that at that time, the sharp sword edge almost hit her nose and chopped down without mercy! Ling Ji burst into a cold sweat and instantly pushed Boss Zhang away and turned over flexibly to avoid it. The white bone flute in her sleeve fell into her palm and blew a sharp note. She smiled in disbelief: "Huh... I think my performance this time is very realistic. How did the Master of Big Peak find out?"
"Spirit Snake?" Yun Qiushui protected the three wives behind her, and her voice suddenly became cold and bone-bone-bone. "This girl, Panlong Town has a severe cold climate. If you live here for many years, it would be impossible to have as smooth and delicate skin as you have. The aromatherapy in the room should be from Miaojiang, which can deprive the five senses of hallucination and auditory hallucination. I believe that the itching and pain on Mr. Zhang and the three wives are just hallucinations? You have been trying hard to lead me here, and then made this snake tail mark and wanted to force me to get close. After playing so many tricks, what is the purpose?"
Ling Ji was secretly shocked and touched her face unconsciously. Unexpectedly, this proud beautiful face once again revealed her true colors. She thought she had been acting and lying around and found that she was just cooperating with her?
Yun Qiushui raised his hand, and the sword energy knocked over all the aromatherapy furnaces around her. Kunlun's spiritual power circled in her palm, and in an instant, it dissipated the strong fragrance in the room. Ling Ji was shocked and said in surprise: "Since you know that there is something wrong with the aromatherapy, you dare to come in with me blatantly? The Lord of the Big Peak is really brave, aren't you afraid that I will use any tricks to you?"
Yun Qiushui looked at her lightly and smiled: "Miss, there is an old saying in the Central Plains that "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son? This black fog image in Panlong Town is probably also done by the Palace of Changsheng?"
"Ha..." Ling Ji also blurted out and replied with praise: "The Lord of the Big Peak has raised it. The black fog in this town comes from Panlong Mountain. I am afraid that the methods of the Changsheng Palace are much more powerful. Your two fellow disciples and the young master last night, I guess they must be trapped in Panlong Mountain and unable to escape, right?"
Yun Qiushui ignored her and said indifferently: "I feel relieved to them."
Lingji slowly leaned against the window and pushed it away, glanced at the black clouds that were still lingering in the distance, and smiled sly at Yun Qiushui, waved her hand: "This time I lost, I want to run away quickly. After all, life is more important than anything else, don't you?"
Before she finished speaking, the person jumped out of the window. Yun Qiushui wanted to chase him out, but when he saw Mr. Zhang sitting up straight on the bed, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened, "Ahh" and howled, she immediately turned around and returned to the edge of the bed. Without Ling Ji's interference, this time she put the "line" into her waist and pulled out the snake hidden in her body. The thin snake struggled on the ground for a few times, twisting its body and completely died in a while. Yun Qiushui breathed a sigh of relief, carefully examined the wound, and said to the three wives: "Just get a clean towel and wipe it. You should be awake soon."
The eldest lady was already frightened and motionless. The second lady was holding her as if she was dead. Only the third lady could barely breathe a sigh of relief. She quickly took a clean towel from the side to wipe the blood stains on Mr. Zhang carefully, and thanked her.
Yun Qiushui walked towards the window and stood in the direction of Panlong Mountain for a long time. Although she had just sworn, she was actually so uneasy in her heart. Seeing the golden light constantly cut out from the black clouds, she knew that it must be Xiao Qianye's actions. But with the help of the God of War in the Heaven Realm, he had not escaped for so long? Is the power that can match the Heaven Realm really the legendary Tianchi Huan?
"Thank you, madam." The third lady bowed and bowed to her. Yun Qiushui quickly came back to her senses and supported her. Her ups and downs slowly calmed down. Unexpectedly, the Palace of Eternal Life had penetrated deep into Kunlun, and even took advantage of innocent people!
"We were here to buy some herbs this time, but who knew that when we encountered so many hardships, my master..." The third lady couldn't help sobbing. Yun Qiushui had to patiently help her to the chair and comforted her, "Master Zhang will be fine soon. I think the abnormality on Panlong Mountain will be solved. Let's rest in the house first. When the matter is over, I will ask my disciples to personally escort some back to the Central Plains."
"This... how can you be so embarrassed?" The third lady waved her hand quickly, stood up and ran to the wardrobe and searched for a while, and then walked over with an exquisite wooden box to respectfully hand it to Yun Qiushui. "This is the purpose of my master's trip. I heard from the master that this thing is called 'ganmu', a rare thing in Kunlun. It is said that it is an immortal tree. As long as you take it, you can prolong your life and sell it for a lot of money! This time I was fortunate to get help from Xianshan to save my life. I will give this thing to my wife to express my gratitude. Please accept it!"
Yun Qiushui waved her hand and smiled. She was a disciple of Kunlun. How could she have never heard of this kind of "sweet wood". This is indeed a kind of "immortal medicine" that people in the Central Plains dream of, but in essence it is just to strengthen the body, and it is not as magical as the legend says.
"Are you dislike the gift not expensive enough?" The third lady saw that she wanted to refuse, her tone became trembling and showed embarrassment. Yun Qiushui was a soft-hearted person. Seeing that she had escaped from death, she couldn't bear to sweep away the other person's interest, so she had to take the wooden box and thank her. The third lady breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and leaned over to her ear, and said in a low voice: "You are willing to accept it... that would be better."
Yun Qiushui glanced at the third lady unconsciously, and suddenly found that the other party's eyes were like snakes, and a strange and unpredictable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stuck out his tongue at her.
The next moment, a cold and severe pain came from the back of her waist, and a whizzing sound suddenly sounded in her ears. A sharp knife was hidden in the sleeve of the third lady, which pierced her through her body without hesitation.
Yun Qiushui pushed the third lady away, and saw the eldest lady beside her. The second lady completely changed her appearance at this time. Both of them were extremely powerful and threw her to the ground. She looked up at the ceiling, her vision was quickly blurred. In a daze, she saw Lingji's figure crawling back into the house with charming softness, and she was hanging on top of her head like a poisonous snake spitting a letter, and said with a low smile: "Madam Yun, there is another old saying in the Central Plains that mantis stalks cicadas, and the oriole is behind. You... are so kind. If you are too kind, you are stupid. You deserve to be plotted against."
Before she finished speaking, Ling Ji landed directly from the ceiling, controlling the three ladies to turn Yun Qiushui over. She lifted the hole in the clothes that had been stabbed by a knife, stirred the wound with her hands provocatively, and slowly covered the five poisonous insect marks in her palm.
Yun Qiushui's mind was in chaos. Through the distant time and space, she seemed to hear the crazy laughter from Princess Mingyu. After her eyes gradually fell into darkness, the figure that had been entangled in her heart for many years slowly emerged.
A flying wall separated by a sea, in the Zhaixing Tower of the Imperial Capital City, Mingxi suddenly looked back and looked at the lush white bone in the center of the poisonous insect seat. In an instant, he felt that the air around him became extremely cold. The old aunt, who had already died, tilted her head and rolled down at her feet with a crack.
