He Siniang nodded, took out only an eight-treasure box from her arms, and placed it in front of Master Xuanyun's desk.
Master Xuanyun picked up the eight-treasure box and looked at it for a moment. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "It's an object from the pre-Qin Dynasty." Then he carefully opened the lid of the box, but when he saw the pills sealed in white wax, he suddenly said, "Eh?" After making a sound, he picked up the pill and asked, "You three brought this thing out from King Hui's Mausoleum?"
"Ah? Senior, what do you mean...recognized this object?"
"This is called the 'Concentration Pill'. It is used to avoid miasma and detoxify. It is not an immortality pill at all."
"What the juniors are looking for is not the elixir of immortality, but someone who is poisoned by poison. They want to find the antidote to the poison. So, senior, can this Concentrating Pill be able to cure the poison?"
"It can't be solved. The Condensing Pill is for detoxifying blood poison. Gu poison and that are two different things."
The Taoist priest with a grimace glanced at He Siniang and saw that he was in a low mood, so he quickly asked: "Senior, this is not rude to me, but you just looked at the pill from the outside, don't you need to remove the sealing wax and take a closer look? "
"I have been fighting for seventy years, and I still have this bit of vision. Besides, there are thousands of elixirs in the world, and this is the only one that needs to be wrapped in white wax and sealed."
"All the hard work was in vain." He Siniang sighed: "I went through life and death, but I didn't expect that I would only bring out a useless thing in the end."
"How can you say it is useless? Although this Condensing Pill cannot cure the poisonous poison, it can protect you from poisonous miasma when held in the mouth. It is a rare item in the Mushroom Gate. There were colleagues here a few days ago. I've been looking for this thing before."
"Gold, jade, and agate are not enough to fill our stomachs. Now that the poisonous disaster is imminent, how can we have the leisure to care whether this concentration pill is a rare thing or not."
"Since it's imminent, why don't you ask me if I have any antidote to the poison?"
"Senior knows how to remove poison?!" He Siniang and the Taoist priest with a grimace raised their heads together.
"Haha, we in the Bishan lineage are best at exploring the mysteries of the mutual interdependence of all things, and voodoo can't escape this category. As long as we find something to restrain voodoo insects, wouldn't it be easy to undo the voodoo poison? Can you tell us what kind of voodoo is it? poison?"
"Butterfly Gu." He Siniang replied.
"Did you get infected by the butterfly poison? Are you from Jin Yuefu?"
He Siniang nodded, then shook her head and said, "But not anymore."
"Old Witch Qi actually put the poison on Miss Ji Ling, she is really crazy!" Master Xuanyun asked He Siniang to roll up her sleeves and stretch out her arms, and she could still vaguely see the patch under the skin. With red thread-like veins, Master Xuanyun nodded and said: "It is indeed a butterfly Gu, and it will be poisonous in more than a month."
"Can you explain it, senior?!"
"Of course it can be solved. This butterfly poison is also called the 'Corpse Prison Technique'. It is an extremely vicious evil technique that breeds poisonous insects with resentful corpses. Once the poison occurs, the person who is affected by the poison will not only be killed and destroyed by the poisonous insects, but also be tortured. The torture of the deceased's resentment is so cruel that only a crazy witch like Old Witch Qi can imagine it."
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest with a grimace hurriedly stood up, bowed his head, and said sincerely: "Since the seniors can solve this poison, I hope they can help me. The juniors will definitely be grateful and never forget it."
He Siniang and Luo Laoqi also stood up and saluted. Master Xuanyun waved his hand for the three of them to sit down and said: "Even if you don't ask me for help, I will still have a hand in the grudges of old witch Qi, but those words of gratitude are enough." Needless to say, our Mushroom Sect is all doing things for profit, so I will give you a discount because of your enmity with Old Witch Qi, and how about this Condensing Pill as a reward?"
"Okay, no problem!" The grim-faced Taoist priest responded. Although this concentration pill is precious, it is not very important to the three of them. It is worth it in exchange for He Siniang's life, not to mention He Siniang's life. There were still two more in his mother's arms, so he hurriedly handed the eight-treasure box to Master Xuanyun, and then asked: "How should I remove the butterfly poison, senior?"
"Wait a moment, I'll go get the medicine." After saying that, he left the side room and walked to the backyard.
When the Taoist priest with a grimace heard Master Xuanyun walking away, he said softly: "I didn't expect such an unexpected gain. Si Niang, you can feel at ease this time."
"That's right, I never thought that someone could detoxify such a rare poison as butterfly poison. And from what Master Xuanyun said, it seems that he has a deep relationship with Mrs. Qi?"
"We were not yet born when Master Xuanyun and Mrs. Qi were in the world, so we have no way of knowing what grudges they had, but they were both famous figures in the Mushroom Sect at that time, and they happened to be obsessed with alchemy and poor Taoism. I guess they were in a competitive relationship, and then they had a bad relationship."
"This analysis is reasonable, and with Mrs. Qi's capricious character, her popularity in the Mushroom Sect was not much better back then."
"She's not capricious, she's simply crazy." Master Xuanyun suddenly appeared at the door and said as he walked in: "I don't mind telling you those past events, but sooner or later Yuefu will be destroyed in the hands of old witch Qi. , this is the antidote to butterfly poison."
Master Xuanyun put the elixir box in his hand in front of He Siniang's desk. After sitting back in his chair, he said: "Although the butterfly voodoo is vicious, the most fearful thing is the fishy smell. This elixir is mixed with cold water turtle eggs." It is made from medicinal herbs. You only need to take one pill every other stick of incense. After three pills, the poisonous poison will be eliminated. Take it. Originally, this pill was developed just to prevent Jin Yuefu. Unexpectedly, it will be used today. It’s used to save Miss Ji Ling.”
He Siniang opened the pill box and saw exactly three red bean-sized, dark green pills inside. She did not take them in a hurry, but put them into her arms and thanked Master Xuanyun first. Master Xuanyun replied: "Everyone does his own thing. Don’t say thank you if you need me. It’s getting late now and our sect has no rules about letting anyone stay overnight. If you have nothing else to do, please feel free to do it yourself.”
When the grim-faced Taoist priest heard that he was going to see off his guests, he thought he could stay in the temple all night before leaving after dark. Who knew the old man would be so dismissive? He quickly got up and bowed and replied: "Then let's say goodbye now, the world is far away." , let’s meet again in the future.”
The three of them said goodbye to Master Xuanyun. When they came out of the gate of the Taoist temple, it was completely dark outside. The Taoist priest with a grimace smiled helplessly and said, "Without Sutou, it seems that we have to rush out of the mountain overnight."
"After leaving the mountain, we still have no shelter." Luo Laoqi walked down the stone steps and said angrily: "The Poji'er Taoist temple has more rules than the palace. If the Sa family hadn't seen him saving Siniang's life, they would have set fire to it. Let’s go again.”
"Don't cause any trouble, mother. After all, she just did us a big favor. Hey, Siniang, have you taken the antidote to the butterfly poison?"
"Not yet. I plan to wait until I get out of the mountain and find a place to settle down before eating."
"Why is this? There is an antidote but you don't want to take it and you still have to wait?"
"We have to rush on our way. I'm afraid that taking the antidote will have some other 'effects'."
"Could it be that during the detoxification process, you will be so angry that you eat us two? This matter is related to your life. What if the antidote is lost again on the way out of the mountain? I think you should eat it as soon as possible."
He Siniang seemed to know what would happen when removing the poison. She hesitated for a while before saying, "Okay, I don't feel safe if I have it on my body, so just eat it now."
Sure enough, less than half an hour after He Siniang took the antidote, Taoist Priest Grimace and Luo Laoqi understood what she was worried about. As soon as the antidote took effect, He Siniang immediately got into the grass and started vomiting and diarrhea. , that kind of noise sounded particularly harsh in the silent mountain forest. The Grimace Taoist Priest and Luo Laoqi were afraid of her embarrassment, so they had to walk farther, but for the sake of safety they did not dare to go too far, so in the end they had no choice but to sit on the road They chatted loudly, for fear that He Siniang didn't know that they could hear the sound.
He Siniang was tossing around with a stick of incense in this awkward atmosphere for a while. When she came out, she immediately fainted and felt that she was suddenly seriously ill. The two Taoist priests looked at her and couldn't stand, so they hurriedly He ran over to support her, one on the left and the other on the right. He Siniang drooped her head and said weakly, "You two are so annoying to death..." and then she fainted.
The Taoist priest with a grimace checked He Siniang's pulse and found that her physical condition was stable, but her pulse was a little weak. She was probably just weak after detoxification, so he asked Luo Laoqi to carry her on his back and continue on their way. The two of them walked until after midnight. We just left the mountain and finally found an abandoned thatched house near the village at the foot of the mountain, planning to spend the night and wait for dawn before finding an inn to rest.
The thatched house had almost collapsed, with only half of the wall still standing. The two ghost-faced Taoist priests cleared a place near the base of the wall, picked up some weeds and spread them on it. After He Siniang was settled, they themselves sat down. Rest next to it.
Luo Laoqi leaned against the wall, his eyelids drooped and fell asleep immediately. He Siniang woke up leisurely at this time, looked at her surroundings and asked softly: "You came out with my concubine on your back?"
The Taoist priest with a grimace pointed at Luo Laoqi and replied: "Lao Qi carried it alone. I can't tell which one is more important, the poor Taoist or you. He may not be able to carry it."
"Are you annoying?"
"How do you feel now? Has the poison been cured?"
He Siniang rolled up her sleeves and stretched out her arms. Her skin was white under the bright moonlight. The Taoist priest with a grimace looked at it carefully and said with a smile: "No more! Those bloodshot eyes are gone!"
"Well, this time the poison has been completely cured. Taoist Master, you and Lao Qi are really noble people. My luck has changed since I met you."
"It's all the same. Didn't Pindao and Lao Qi live a stumbling life before? When did they think that they would fall into a pre-Qin royal tomb? Isn't this all thanks to you, Siniang? And we are going to Huiwang this time. Ling, not only got money, but also made a name for himself in the Mushroom Gate. From now on, we will travel around the world to see who dares to despise us."
"Then what is the Taoist master's plan next? I once said that after the poison is removed, I will stay with you to break through the Mushroom Gate. Now that I have settled my affairs, should I worry about you? What about the jade key from the Gray Immortal Temple?"
"There is no need to rush the matter at the Gray Immortal Temple. We don't even have a clue right now, and we may have another big thing to do next, which is related to the two Concentration Pills we have preserved and an ancient tomb that is at the cusp of the storm. "
