No way?
Xu Zhen's heart skipped a beat.
Isn't this old ghost too powerful?
How could he tell?
Where did I show my flaw?
Xu Zhen was surprised, and Li Chaner was also surprised, and asked hurriedly: "Second uncle, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Hmph!" The old escort snorted coldly and shouted at Xu Zhen, "I've seen people like you a lot, and you don't even look at where this place is? Tell me, what on earth are you going to do?"
Why?
Xu Zhen suddenly remembered that the other party had previously said that he was a liar. It seemed that he might have regarded himself as a liar and had not seen through his intentions.
Moreover, I always feel that the other party is bluffing.
Could it be that... the other party is just bluffing himself?
After all, information was not developed in ancient times, and I didn’t have an ID card. Do all newcomers have to cheat?
"Me?" So Xu Zhen chose to be tough and said, "What happened to me? I just want you to take me to the ruined temple to see if my uncle's bodies are still there. If they are, bury them." Oh, I...am I wrong?"
"Hmph," the old escort snorted again, "You can't make up the soul-reviving pill! Even if that miracle doctor Luo can really make it, will he kill your whole family just for a pill?"
"They want the formula," Xu Zhen explained. "With the formula, there will be endless wealth!"
"Bah!" the old escort spat and said, "Since your parents are dead, it means they have succeeded, so why are they still chasing you all the way?"
"I didn't succeed," Xu Zhen waved his hand and said, "My father would rather die...oh...oh..."
At this point, he finally realized what was wrong.
It should have been compiled like this before: Although his father told him the formula, the other party still brutally killed his whole family. The reason why he pursued him was because he also knew the formula. They chased him to Songzhou in order to eliminate the root cause.
This way, it makes sense.
However, as soon as he paused, it was too late to change his mind.
"What's the matter?" the old escort said proudly, "Would your father rather let the thieves kill your whole family than reveal the formula? Just for a pill that can prolong life?"
Hearing this, Li Ronger's eyes changed instantly. Although the change was not big, it contained a suffocating killing intent.
At this time, Xu Zhen's mind was running rapidly. If he denied what he had said before, then no matter how he explained it later, he would definitely not be able to convince the other party.
At this point, I can only make up a new story!
etc……
Prolonging life... just for a pill that prolongs life?
Got it!
In just a few flashes of thought, Xu Zhen overturned the entire story and sorted out a set of logic.
Since time was too tight, he had no time to think over it, so he had to take out the banknotes from his sleeves and wave them in front of the old escort:
"I'm cheating. Have you ever seen someone cheating with a five thousand tael of silver note?"
Tears...tears...
Xu Zhen cried out for tears in his heart, but the tears never came, only slightly moist.
However, these words still stopped the old escort and Li Chaner, and they could only look at each other.
Taking advantage of this time, Xu Zhen sorted out his lines in his mind, took out two more banknotes, and said excitedly:
"I have plenty of money. I'll give it to you at worst. I just want to use this little money to bury my uncle, my little pity, and my relatives... wu wu..."
The tears finally came out smoothly.
"Then you are telling the truth?" Li Chan'er asked, "Why are those people chasing you?"
"Okay, I'm desperate anyway!" Xu Zhen suddenly became angry, but tears still dripped, "You don't dare to accept this escort anyway. If you say it, it doesn't matter. It's a big deal that you will die!"
"..." Li Chan'er and the old escort didn't know what was going on, but there was still deep suspicion in their eyes.
"Actually..." Xu Zhen said with difficulty, "What my father made was not a soul-reviving pill, but the complete opposite. Not only could it not restore the soul, it would actually destroy it!"
"..."
"Do you know?" Xu Zhen was very nervous, "Just two ingredients that go wrong can make the world full of corpses!"
"What?" Li Chan'er and Li Chan'er seemed to be listening to fantasy.
"If the catalyzed soul-breaking powder is successful," Xu Zhen gestured and said, "just a bottle this big and put into the water can kill an entire village!"
"You..." The old escort was a little angry, "You are really good at talking nonsense!"
"I didn't!!!" This time, Xu Zhen had to make it up no matter what. If he wanted to make it up, he had to convince himself first, so his acting skills exploded and he said with blood-red eyes, "This thing is the devil. , once it is mastered by others, all living beings will be in ruins and hell on earth!
"You...do you understand now? Alas!" He clapped the back of his hand fiercely, "The people who are chasing us are not enemies at all, but...are..."
Finally, Li Chaner was stunned, and the old escort also sat up straight, because they had already guessed the answer.
"Actually, a long time ago, someone from the government came to my father and said he was someone from the Imperial Hospital. In fact... he was actually an internal guard!" Xu Zhen said, "It was them who forced my father to make improvements many times. The formula, I want to make a more powerful Duanhun Powder!
"But...but if that kind of thing is really taken to the battlefield or applied to civilians, it would be an evil act!
"We, the Luo family, have been practicing medicine for generations. We are here to treat illnesses and save lives, to save lives and heal the wounded!
"So, my father tore up the formula and wanted to secretly take our whole family to escape, but he couldn't escape. Then... Wuwuwu... My dad would rather die than hand over the formula... Wuwu... …”
The inner guard is an intelligence agency similar to the Imperial Guard of the Ming Dynasty. It is directly subordinate to the emperor and is almost a taboo among the people.
Therefore, the old escort's expression changed at this moment. Although Xu Zhen's words were still a bit nonsense, he couldn't help but not believe it, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for him to say the word "inner guard".
Moreover, in this way, all the logic can be explained.
After all, the inner guard's strength was extraordinary, and only Li Sixiong himself or Li Chan'er could defeat him. That's why Xu Zhen asked Li Chan'er to send him there in person.
"I lied to you? I lied to you again, wuwu..." Xu Zhen said aggrievedly, "The corpses of my uncle and others have been lying in the ruined temple for ten days! The corpses are there, what should I lie to? you?
"Come on, come on, come on..." He wiped away his tears, "I know that if you tell the truth, it can only be like this! Where can a hero be found in this world? I'm leaving. Even if I haven't been here, I'll go by myself. Collect the bodies of my relatives!"
After saying that, Xu Zhen put away the banknote and turned to leave.
As he walked, he waited for Li Chan'er to call him.
However, the more this happened, the harder it was to slow down his pace. It was not until he was almost reaching the door that he heard Li Chan'er's voice.
"Isn't that right?" Li Chan'er had already stood up and said with deep eyes, "You haven't told us why you are being hunted down!"
"I...um..." Xu Zhen quickly thought about which reason to make up?
"You don't know..." Li Chan'er asked, "You also know the formula, right?"
choose one……
Xu Zhen decided to leave, and immediately said: "I only know the formula of the soul-reviving pill, but if you catch me, given time, you should be able to make the soul-breaking pill..."
"Okay," Li Chan'er raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "Then tell me the formula of the soul-reviving pill! What a coincidence, I have also seen the formula of the soul-reviving pill in my master's "Refining Medicine Collection" .”
"Selaginella selaginella, Ganoderma lucidum, Rehmannia glutinosa, rhino stone powder, silica... the most important thing is to mix fifty powder with arsenic..." Xu Zhen answered without thinking.
It's obvious that the silica was added intentionally as a test.
After all, other medicinal materials are described in "The Demonic Way", so it makes sense that only one was wrong.
However, Li Chaner heard nothing strange and had no idea what silica was.
Okay, it turns out that this girl was also bluffing herself, and was actually playing tricks on herself.
In this case, there is even more nonsense to talk about later.
"The problem is not arsenic, but Fifty Powder," Xu Zhen said. "Combined with a drug called castor, it can make people confused. If several special drugs are added, The catalyst can turn people into walking zombies and eat them..."
"Stop talking, stop talking!" The old escort was completely frightened and quickly stood up to tell Xu Zhen to shut up.
If what Xu Zhen said is true, it means they are already setting themselves on fire.
"Okay," however, Li Chan'er said with shining eyes, "In that case, I will take your escort this time!"
Poof...
The old escort was so frightened that he almost collapsed...
