Chapter 6: Use the trick to kill the poisonous woman
After about half a stick of incense was touched, Qingshi never moved at all.
At this time, there were several intermittent whistling sounds from the east. Hearing the whistling sounds, the two monkeys threw away their sticks and ran over. Covering their mouths and noses with one hand, they each held Qingshi's arm and dragged him quickly to the east.
It wasn't until he ran past the place where Qingshi was first forced back by the flying dagger, advanced more than twenty steps, and climbed up to the edge of the basin that he threw Qingshi face down to the ground.
Following a burst of sinister laughter, a thin and short figure emerged from behind a big tree, but she was an old woman with gray hair.
The old woman's face was covered with wrinkles, and there was a deep sword mark diagonally extending from her forehead to the left side of her jaw.
The old woman only had one left leg and a cane under her right arm. She hobbled over, laughing proudly as she walked. She laughed a few times, then stopped and lowered her head and coughed violently. After a while, she slowly stopped. , panting heavily and moved over.
The old woman took out two unknown fruits from her arms and threw them to the monkeys. She murmured a few times. The two monkeys took them, turned and ran away happily, climbed up the trees and vines on the mountain wall, and immediately disappeared without a trace.
The old woman giggled and said in her mouth: "This boy must have some good things in him. At least he has a storage treasure, haha..."
The old woman stretched out her crutch and poked Qingshi's butt, and then turned Qingshi over with a strong push.
Unexpectedly, Qingshi turned over, grabbed the crutch with his left hand and pulled it. With a wave of his right hand, a large piece of black and gray powder was thrown towards the old woman's head and face.
This time it became so hasty that the old woman had no time to react. The crutch was pulled by the bluestone, and her body lost balance. She stumbled on one foot and almost fell. Naturally, there was no way to avoid the large handful of powder, which was sprinkled all over her head and face. The stinging pain makes it impossible to see, the Qi is blocked, and breathing becomes difficult.
The powder was made by Qingshi by drying and grinding the highly toxic black fungus that was originally made from the stone. Unexpectedly, it came in handy at this time.
The bluestone floated back, and the old woman shouted loudly, bouncing with one foot, waving the cane with her right hand and wiping it on her face with her left hand.
Qingshi just watched from a distance calmly. After a while, the old woman knew that since she was blind and was poisoned, she naturally lost, so she sat down on the ground, panting heavily and took out a medicine bottle. Pour out two pills and take them.
Qingshi knew that this detoxifying pill would not be able to detoxify for a while, let alone cure the eyes, so he ignored her.
After two breaths, the old woman cursed: "You cunning little bastard, you stole my medicinal materials and used poison to harm me, you bullied a disabled old woman, you will suffer retribution sooner or later, and you will not die a good death, Oh He He..."
Qingshi said coldly: "You didn't grow all of these herbs, right? The ones I harvested grew naturally by the pond. I didn't harvest the ones you planted."
"I discovered those first, so of course they are mine." The old woman shouted.
"Well, even if it's yours, it's not a crime that will lead to death," Qingshi said. "But when you saw that I had a storage treasure on me, you didn't stop me from collecting the medicine, but you set a trap to gain money and kill me. That’s right.”
Qingshi still doesn't understand at this time. The old woman saw Qingshi collecting medicine from a distance and wanted to rush to stop it, but found that Qingshi collected medicine and put it directly into the storage treasure. She suddenly became greedy and wanted to kill people and seize the treasure.
Her cultivation level was already in the Qi Condensation realm, but she suffered internal injuries that had not healed, and her cultivation level was greatly reduced due to the poisoning. In addition, her legs and feet were disabled. She was afraid that if she missed a hit, people would run away, otherwise she would have come down to kill her.
She used the monkey to drag Qingshi, just to want Qingshi to stay here longer, because the water pool in the basin will emit poisonous gas, and people will be poisoned without knowing it. The longer they stay, the deeper the poisoning will be.
After the sun turns west, the pond water will begin to overflow with poisonous gas. At that time, Qingshi will be dead without her doing anything.
In fact, even if the sun shines brightly during the day, the water will emit poisonous gas, but only less. The entire small basin is filled with poisonous gas all year round.
This poisonous mist emanates from the water pool and spreads throughout the small basin, but it becomes lighter a few meters away from the water pool in the daytime sunlight. Although the poisonous fog is lightened, it is colorless and odorless, making it difficult to detect.
This poisonous gas is very strange, poisonous to animals, but it can promote the growth of surrounding plants and is beneficial and harmless. That is why so many magical flowers and herbs grow around the pond, and that is why the old woman planted medicinal materials near the pond.
The old woman has been practicing this medicine for a long time and has already figured out the situation of the poisonous pool. She always chooses to come in when the sun is shining and at noon when the poisonous gas is at its weakest. However, she has become chronically poisoned over the years.
The monkey was born and raised nearby, and came here to play and look for food for a long time. It ate a lot of the magical fruits and herbs beside the pool, but was not so afraid of poisonous gas.
After Qingshi discovered that the pond water was poisonous, he figured it out and used his plan to counterattack successfully.
After the conspiracy was exposed, the old woman no longer struggled with the issue, and asked bitterly: "You are a small Qi practitioner, how could you not be poisoned? Do you have any treasures on your body that can avoid poison?"
Even though he was in such a situation, he still remembered the treasure.
Qingshi smiled slightly, but didn't answer. The bright green zhenqi in the body can revive people who have been poisoned for several hours, so how can they be afraid of this mere poisonous gas.
This bright green Qi was so powerful that Qingshi began to inhale the poisonous gas as soon as he entered the small basin. However, the poisonous gas inhaled into the body was naturally dissolved by it, so that Qingshi himself did not notice it until he saw something abnormal in the pond water. The mist overflowing from the pool is poisonous.
Seeing that Qingshi didn't answer, the old woman thought he acquiesced, and said bitterly: "Come on, kid, come and kill me, a disabled old woman. Kill me, and all the medicinal materials will be yours."
Qingshi saw that her face was full of viciousness and resentment, but instead of cursing in her mouth, she said such words. He knew that although she was hating in her heart, she did not dare to anger him with her mouth. Of course she wanted to survive by saying these ironic words.
Qingshi shook his head, thought for a while and then sighed: "I didn't want to take your life, but you killed someone, and that person can be regarded as my master. I must avenge him."
"That's nonsense. You little bastard just wants my old woman's medicinal materials. Why are you making up some nonsense to deceive me? Bah..." The old woman panicked and started to curse.
"Two years ago, you plotted against a monk here. He was poisoned and injured and escaped. Don't you remember? But he still passed away after returning home. These injuries on your body must have been left by him."
Before his death, Fu Yunhao briefly told Shitou how he was attacked. He said that he was poisoned unknowingly when he was collecting medicine in Dahuang Mountain. After he was shocked, he was poisoned again by an old woman while he was using his energy to detoxify. Poison and flying blade sneak attack.
Fu Yunhao was naturally seriously injured, but the attacker did not fare well either. He punched him once, slashed his face with a sword, and cut off one of his feet.
Qingshi saw the old woman's appearance and naturally guessed that she was the murderer of Fu Yunhao.
After hearing Qingshi's words, the old woman screamed crazily: "Okay! Okay! That bastard who stole my elixir and made me disabled is finally dead. Hahahaha, die well, die well, hahahaha, you bastard Little bastard, come here, if I hadn't been injured by that old bastard, I would have stabbed you to death with just one finger."
"Hmph, if my master hadn't been poisoned a long time ago, or if you hadn't poisoned me in a sneak attack," Qingshi said coldly, "Just you? Master, he could kill you old witch with just one finger."
The old woman's face was full of resentment and she was crying and laughing like crazy. She kept swearing viciously in her mouth, and suddenly she screamed loudly as if she was trying to summon the monkey.
Qingshi felt disgusted in his heart, and without any mercy, the long sword in his hand flew out and passed through the old woman's chest until it reached the hilt.
This old woman was originally a poison master. She had been playing with poisons all her life and harmed countless people, but she finally fell for poisons, which was considered retribution.
Worried that the monkey would bother him again, Qingshi turned around and flew out of the valley without taking his sword.
It was getting late now, so Qingshi climbed up with all his strength. After more than an hour, he finally reached the hillside where he stopped before entering the valley.
Qingshi stopped and took a breath, took a Qi-Reviving Pill, and while breathing evenly, he carefully identified the way back. After a few breaths, Qingshi identified the way back, used the Flowing Cloud Footwork and began to fly towards the outside of the mountain.
It was almost midnight, and a huge full moon hung in the sky, illuminating the trees in the forest with mottled shadows.
Qingshi was rushing out of the mountain with all his strength when he suddenly stopped in alarm. He saw a few black figures in front of him slowly surrounding him. When he took a closer look, he saw that they were five wolves.
Qingshi's heart tightened, and the thing he feared most finally came. The five wolves were not ordinary beasts, but the second-level spiritual beast Howling Moon Wolf.
People also divided spiritual beasts into seven levels according to the seven cultivation levels of monks. Of course, just like monks are called immortals after they break through the Divine Origin Realm, there are also spiritual beasts that can break through the seventh level through practice, and that is the monster beast.
This second-level spiritual beast is roughly equivalent to a human Qi Gathering Realm monk, but generally speaking, its combat power is one level lower than that of a human monk.
Qingshi is only at the seventh level of the Qi Training Realm. Although his combat power is much higher than that of ordinary monks of the same level, he still has some difficulty in dealing with the two second-level spirit monkeys. He has almost no chance of winning against the five second-level spiritual beasts Howling Moon Wolf. .
Qingshi was thinking nervously about how to escape. Just as he was about to try the fire attack, he saw another giant wolf suddenly jump out from behind the wolves.
I saw that the wolf was huge, almost twice as big as the previous wolves. Wolf King! This can be regarded as a third-level spiritual beast. Qingshi didn't hesitate anymore, turned around and ran away, with several wolves chasing after him.
Qingshi understood that it was impossible to escape from the pack of howling moon wolves simply by running.
While I was anxious, my heart suddenly lit up, poisonous fog! That's right, his only hope is to run back to the small basin in the valley, which must be filled with poisonous fog. It is undoubtedly an abyss of death for other humans and beasts, but it is the best refuge for Qingshi.
Although the small basin can protect Qingshi, it is not easy to run back. After a day of climbing over mountains and ridges, fighting monkeys, etc., Qingshi has already lost his physical strength. At this time, he ran for his life, and soon he was out of breath like a bellows. .
Qingshi took out two Qi-Returning Pills and threw them into his mouth and continued running wildly. Seeing that he was gradually approaching the path down the valley, the wolves were also approaching.
A wolf chased a few steps behind, then jumped into the air and rushed towards Qingshi. Qingshi didn't dare to look back, and suddenly stepped forward with more force, pulling away slightly, then waved his right hand back, and a large black mass appeared. Something flew towards the wolf.
The wolf sided away and was about to chase again, but suddenly it breathed and stopped suddenly. It turned around and rushed towards the black thing. Then several other wolves had arrived, and they all rushed forward to fight for it. stand up.
It turned out that what Qingshi threw was a large piece of pig dragon meat, carrying a hind leg weighing no less than twenty or thirty kilograms.
Qingshi has fallen in love with this kind of meat since he ate a pig dragon at Zhu Er's house. He found a few hunters and ordered a pig dragon at a high price, but he also received a few. At this moment, there are still more than half of them in the storage bracelet. .
Several wolves competed for the meat, and in a short while they tore it into several pieces and started to gobble it up. The wolf king arrived, but he didn't bother to eat dead food, so he jumped over the group of wolves and took the lead in chasing after it.
Qingshi got a moment to breathe, found the path down the valley, and swept down to the bottom of the valley. Going down to the valley, Qingshi was easier than the wolf. In less than half an hour, he had already reached the bottom of the valley.
Qingshi breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked back, he saw that the Wolf King was not far behind, so he hurried towards the small basin.
Running to the edge of the small basin, Qingshi stopped. The old woman's body was no longer there. Judging from the marks on the ground, it was dragged away by some wild beast.
The huge full moon was at the zenith, and the moonlight was quiet and bright. Under the bright moonlight, the entire small basin was filled with thick milky white mist, but it neither moved upward nor spread outside, but only slowly circulated within the basin.
Several tall trees in the basin stick out their crowns from the fog, like fairy mountains floating on the sea of clouds.
Looking back, I saw that the Wolf King had already caught up close by. Qingshi immediately walked into the basin. The mist stirred slightly and submerged above his head in an instant. The figure of Qingshi became hazy and quickly disappeared.
The Wolf King approached cautiously and stared blankly at the small basin filled with white mist. Several moon-howling wolves came quietly behind him, but they did not dare to get too close. They squatted a few steps away from the Wolf King and waited.
After a few breaths passed, the wolf king raised his huge head and let out a low and long roar at the full moon in the sky. Several wolves behind him raised their heads and roared in agreement.
For a moment, a pack of wolves howled at the moon in the valley, and the desolate howls spread far down the valley, echoing for a long time in the empty mountains under the moonlight.
