On the outskirts of the city, thatched houses.
When Wen Yuzhai pushed the door open and came in, he immediately saw Xiao Wuji lying motionless on the straw mat.
Since Shuanghe and Jiang Muchan only had three people in total, they really couldn't spare any manpower to look after Xiao Wuji, so before the three of them went to deal with the Fire Lotus Sect today, they gave Xiao Wuji some medicine and left him alone. Stayed in this thatched hut.
Anyway, this guy is a disfigured old man, and he is penniless. Even if he is discovered, nothing will happen.
To take a step back...if something really happened, he deserved it.
"Sigh... you were able to find all of this. You really have a way." Although Xiao Wuji lay there unable to move and could only look at the ceiling, he still knew that the person entering the room at this moment was Wen Yuzhai.
If you want to say why, there is no other reason - because he smelled the smell of the other person's body.
As the saying goes, men smell and women smell.
Although this is a common situation, it is obviously not an absolute statement.
Men... can also be fragrant.
Take the smell of Wen Yuzhai as an example: the smell of books, tea, and the smell of clean clothes dried in the sun. These alone are enough to cover a person's own body odor, and wearing another scent does not count. It's too strong, but the smell of the long-lasting sachet may be better than the girl's house.
What is "thatched cottage son"?
Not only do they make you look handsome, but they also sound nice to you. Even when you smell them... you can't find anything wrong with them.
"We haven't seen each other for a few days, why is Brother Xiao looking like this?" Wen Yuzhai also knew that the other party recognized him instantly, so he didn't try to be mysterious and walked to Xiao Wuji's side in a few steps. He deliberately put his head into the other person's line of sight and said condescendingly and sarcastically.
"Hmph, I'm asking you knowingly." Xiao Wuji rolled his eyes, too lazy to say more.
"Haha..." Wen Yuzhai really thought this was funny, "I never expected that you could fall into the hands of the same two people twice in such a short period of time... It seems that things are so complicated. Poison does have some abilities."
"Alas..." Xiao Wuji could only sigh bitterly, "I don't know if they are capable in martial arts, but if they are to be said to be 'playing dirty', even a bandit like me has to be willing to lose."
"Okay, I won't bury you anymore..." Wen Yuzhai admitted his defeat when he saw Xiao Wuji, and stopped teasing each other. After all, they are both gentlemen, unlike Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai. , who can talk and scold each other for hours without saying anything different, "I have a bottle of antidote here, you can try it first."
"Huh?" Xiao Wuji asked suspiciously after hearing this, "Where did you get the antidote? Could it be that you had already seen Huang Donglai before coming here?"
"No~No~" As he spoke, Wen Yuzhai took out a small bottle from his arms, "This is just a common antidote I carry with me on weekdays. I don't know if it can detoxify you. That’s why I said ‘try it’.”
"You dare to give me something to drink if you don't know?" Xiao Wuji said, then paused, "Am I going to drink to death?"
"Huh...how could it be? I didn't choose the medicine randomly." Wen Yuzhai smiled and said eloquently, "The poisons in this world that are used to stun others but not kill them can be roughly... There are three types...
"The first one is to make people unconscious directly; this kind of pharmacology is the simplest, and many people can prepare it, and Mongolian sweat medicine falls into this category.
"The second type causes people to feel numb or weak all over the body due to meridian blockage while they are still awake. The pharmacology of this type is much more complicated than the first type. This is what many flower pickers use, but The shortcomings of this second medicine are also obvious - after being poisoned by this poison, people with high skills can use internal force to strongly clear the meridians and acupuncture points, so that the time for the medicine to take effect is shortened, or even completely ineffective.
"The third type is to paralyze part of a person's nerves, keeping people completely awake but unable to move at all; this... although the effect is similar to the second type, it is much more difficult to modulate than the second type. , usually only masters of poison can mix it out... And this third type of poison, once it is poisoned, it is difficult for even masters to remove it by their own strength."
When Wen Yuzhai said this, Xiao Wuji already understood in his heart: when he was in the ruined temple a few days ago, Huang Donglai should have given him the second type of poison, and today, it was probably because there was no one to watch him, so Huang Donglai Just to be on the safe side, I gave him the third type.
On the other side, Wen Yuzhai didn't know what Xiao Wuji was thinking, so he just continued: "The Yellow Clan's Three Wonders are famous all over the world. As the young master of the Huang Clan, Huang Donglai can naturally mix the third poison. , and I think you look like you have been poisoned by this..." He said here, shaking the bottle in his hand, "Although this third type of poison itself has many types, and the prescriptions are different, But the toxicology is generally the same, so this bottle of antidote in my hand, even if it cannot completely detoxify the symptoms, it can somewhat alleviate some of the toxicity in your body."
"Hey~ You can do it when I hear the jade." Hearing this, Xiao Wuji felt a lot more at ease, so his tone also became relaxed, "There is a rumor in the world that you, the young master of the thatched cottage, is a master of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, wine, flower tea, He is proficient in medical horoscopes, astronomy and gossip... he is proficient in everything. It seems that what he said is true."
"'Proficient' is enough, 'somewhat understanding' is enough." Wen Yuzhai was kneeling down on one knee as he spoke, holding Xiao Wuji's head with his left hand, and pouring the liquid from the vial into his right hand. Xiao Wuji said, "Take this poison theory as an example. What I know about it, in the eyes of the young master of the Huang Sect, is just superficial at best..."
"Eh? Then if you drink this medicine, is there anything in case?" Xiao Wuji finished drinking the medicine and asked one more question out of caution.
"What if?" Unexpectedly, Wen Yuzhai actually answered, "Ha... yes." He paused for half a second and smiled, "What if Huang Donglai gave you a specially prepared unique recipe today?" Only the correct antidote can cure it. Once you come into contact with an incorrect antidote, you will be poisoned and die... Then you should die soon."
"You didn't say anything until you finished feeding me?" Xiao Wuji's eyes widened immediately.
"Ha... don't worry, I'm joking with you." Wen Yuzhai was very calm and sat down cross-legged.
Wen Yuzhai naturally knew that this "what if" actually did not exist, and he was just joking with Xiao Wuji.
If Shuangxie is really acting with the idea of "even if Xiao Wuji is allowed to die, he will never be allowed to escape", then they have to find a way to find someone to look after Xiao Wuji, even if they really can't find one. If a suitable candidate is found, then Xiao Wuji should at least be tied up with iron chains and imprisoned in a place where it is difficult to escape... instead of being thrown into a thatched house without even being tied up like this. .
Furthermore, if an unrelated person passes by here today and accidentally discovers Xiao Wuji, and is persuaded by him to save him, that person will not give Xiao Wuji any antidote. Xiao Wuji can just carry it somewhere else and wait for the poison to wear off automatically.
Of course, these accounts that Wen Yuzhai could calculate clearly in an instant may not have occurred to Xiao Wuji without anyone mentioning them.
To make a long story short, Wen Yuzhai stood beside Xiao Wuji and chatted with him without saying a word for a long time. The antidote did have some effect. Although Xiao Wuji did not recover completely immediately, it was relieved quickly. of his symptoms.
About an hour later, Xiao Wuji's mobility recovered to about 70%.
"I owe you something today, I'll see you later." After Yun Gong adjusted his breath for a while, Xiao Wuji stood up and left after finishing his sentence.
"Hold on." When Wen Yuzhai saw this, he immediately stopped the other party, "This time you owe me, what if I want you to pay it back right away?"
Xiao Wuji paused, was silent for two seconds, and then continued: "Do you still want me to help you deal with Xiao Zhun?"
Xiao Wuji obviously still remembered the last conversation in the thatched cottage, but last time he rejected Wen Yuzhai and left without asking much about the situation.
"Exactly." Wen Yuzhai replied bluntly without mincing words.
"Isn't it enough to have Haicangfeng help you?" Xiao Wuji said again.
"What do you think?" Wen Yuzhai asked.
Xiao Wuji knew the answer to this question, so he continued: "Is it enough to add another me?"
"Of course I'm not just looking for you two." Wen Yuzhao said.
"Oh?" Xiao Wuji felt a little curious when he heard this, "Who else is there?"
Wen Yuzhai felt that the other party had taken the bait, so he told the truth: "The three-character king."
"The killer?"
"The killer."
"I hear his sword is very fast."
"Soon, maybe faster than you were in the past."
"Huh... maybe, but even so, if the four of us want to break into the Wujian Villa... I'm afraid it won't be enough."
"Not four."
"How many people are there?"
"Seven people except me."
"Then who are the other four people?"
"Alas..." At this point, Wen Yuzhai couldn't help but sigh, "I'm also worried...the 'four swords and three knives' are not easy to get together."
When Xiao Wuji heard this keyword, he immediately reacted: "Do you want to recreate the 'Seven Absolute Sword Formation'?"
Wen Yuzhai wanted to say something, "As expected of the young master of Wujian Villa, he is indeed well-informed." However, he knew that Xiao Wuji hated that identity very much, so he could only bury this sentence in his heart and continued: "If you nod, then there will be two swords and one sword."
Xiao Wuji did not answer immediately, he fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Wuji spoke again and said, "Okay, count me in."
"Are you serious?" Wen Yuzhao was very happy to see that his old friend agreed to participate in such a major event to contribute to the righteousness of the martial arts world, so he rarely showed any excitement.
"Ha... If I don't want to agree, I just reject you directly. Is it necessary to lie to you?" Xiao Wuji finished his sentence and changed the topic immediately, "Not only did I promise that you would join this 'Four Swords and Three Swords', I I can recommend Yida to you again, but... I can't guarantee whether he will come or not."
"Oh?" Wen Yuzhai raised his eyebrows and asked immediately, "Who are you talking about?"
Xiao Wuji paused for half a second and replied in a deep voice: "'Dull knife', Jiang Muchan."
