"It's just for refreshing, just use it to detoxify." Although the grim-faced Taoist priest said this, he still took off the rat-shaped jade pendant from his neck, then brought it to Luo Laoqi and said: "Old 7. Smell it with your nose and see if it has any effect."
Luo Laoqi put the jade pendant between his nose and sniffed it, and suddenly said "huh?", and then took a few puffs and said: "Oh! It's really useful, my head is not dizzy anymore!"
"It's true or not, don't think it's psychological effect." The Taoist priest with a grimace didn't believe it.
"Really!" Luo Laoqi was still holding the jade pendant and sucking hard: "Not only is my head no longer dizzy, but the nausea in my throat is no longer gone. Damn it, the Sa family is not very energetic now."
The Taoist priest with a grimace looked at Luo Laoqi in surprise, then turned to look at He Siniang, puzzled: "This thing can actually detoxify? And the effect is too fast, right?"
He Siniang shook her head and replied: "I actually don't know what I'm doing mentally and physically. I just asked the Taoist priest to give it a try because I had no other choice."
"Isn't that a blind cat hitting a dead mouse? What on earth is this marrow jade? It has so many uses. In addition to awakening the armored tomb-piercing beast and resisting illusions, it now has an additional detoxification effect."
"There is also an order to open the mountain." He Siniang added.
"Yes, the 'Order of Opening Mountains' mentioned by Xu Yimo should also be this jade pendant, but Pindao thought that it should be related to the armored tomb-piercing beast, 'open a mountain.' If the armored tomb-piercing beast could be awakened, wouldn't it be possible to open a mountain through stone? Is it done?"
"It seems that the Taoist Master has thought clearly about the mountain-opening order."
"That's probably what happened. At that time, Xu Yimo asked questions in a hurry, and Pindao didn't even react. Later, when I thought about it, the order he mentioned must be this jade pendant."
"Well, I think so too."
"Where are you two chatting again?" Luo Laoqi asked doubtfully: "What is the opening order? The Sa family seems to be fine now. Should we move on or continue chatting for a while?"
"You're the one who made the damn monster, and you're the one who's urging you now." The Taoist Priest with a grimace said angrily: "Since everything's okay, then leave quickly. It's taking so long, but don't let Pei Shuang and his army catch up. Then Just keep the jade pendant in your pocket for now, take it out and smell it if you have nothing else to do to save yourself from making trouble halfway."
After speaking, Taoist Ghostface took out another jade pendant. There were two rat-shaped jade pendants in total. One was passed down from the ancestors of Taoist Ghostface, and the other was found from the corpse king of Princess Pingdu Mausoleum. The Taoist Priest with a grimace handed this one to He Siniang and said, "We have to guard against the strangeness in Lao Qi's poison. Please take this jade pendant with you, Siniang, in case you encounter any accidents on the road."
He Siniang quickly waved her hand and declined: "The Taoist Master is leading the way, and you will take the lead if you want. I have been refining medicine and poisoning all year round, so I must be more vigilant than you in this regard. The Taoist Master should leave quickly, as time is running out. The longer it takes Pei Shuang and the others, the more likely they are to catch up."
The grim-faced Taoist priest nodded and said no more nonsense. He turned around with the torch and continued walking down the spiral staircase.
The grim-faced Taoist priest quickened his pace this time and walked quickly on the stone steps in order to get out of this spiral staircase as soon as possible. The flame of the torch was also swayed backwards at this speed, and the shadows of the three people reflected were stretched very long on the wall.
The grim-faced Taoist priest kept walking, and his head was spinning rapidly. He had been trying to analyze the cause of Luo Laoqi's poisoning, but he couldn't come up with a clue.
Logically speaking, Luo Laoqi, himself and Siniang were all in the same space. If they were poisoned, all three of them would definitely be infected. Why was only Lao Qi himself poisoned? Could it be because Lao Qi was leading the way? But after Lao Qi was poisoned, he obviously moved to the front, but he was fine at all? Could it be because he is wearing a jade pendant?
Thinking of this grimace, the Taoist priest turned around to look at He Siniang. Unexpectedly, he was walking too fast. The sudden brake caused He Siniang to bump into him. He Siniang said "Ouch" and then asked : "What's wrong?! Is something going on?"
"It's okay." The grim-faced Taoist priest glanced at He Siniang and saw that there was no difference in her face, and then said: "I just want to see if you, Siniang, are poisoned. After all, you are the only one without a jade pendant."
"I'm scared, so you should have said something in advance. I thought something happened to you, but I'm not in any physical condition. Just keep walking."
"Okay, okay."
The grim-faced Taoist priest then continued to walk down the stone steps, and the confusion in his heart deepened. If the cause of the poisoning had nothing to do with the jade pendant, then what was the key to the problem?
The grim-faced Taoist priest began to think about the differences between the three of them along the way. The three of them could be said to be inseparable, and they had the same food, housing, and transportation. Why did poisoning only happen to Luo Laoqi?
Why? wrong!
The Taoist Priest with a grimace suddenly thought as he thought about it. It seemed that the experiences of the three of them were not exactly the same. For example, at the entrance of the sacrificial pit, he and He Siniang fell into the hole awake, but where was Luo Laoqi? It fell down after being knocked unconscious on the cave wall. Could this be the problem?
After a little analysis, the Grimace Taoist discovered the key to the problem. The key here was not whether he was awake or fainting, but that after Luo Laoqi hit the rock wall, he got a cut on the back of his head - he saw blood! ! !
yes! The difference between Luo Laoqi and himself is this. After entering the cave, he was the only one injured, and it was a bleeding injury. Could this kind of poison only be affected by blood? !
The Taoist priest with a grimace immediately asked He Siniang his doubts: "Siniang, do you think the cartilage smell will be transmitted through the wound?"
"No." He Siniang answered resolutely: "Cartilage incense is a drug that is spread through breathing. How can it pass through wounds?"
"Yes, that's right..." The Taoist priest with a grimace immediately reacted. The drug needs to stun the enemy without being noticed. If there are wounds, wouldn't it be necessary to use strong ones?
The Taoist Priest with a grimace sighed slightly, saying that his analysis was wrong again, this damn thing is really evil! A big living person was inexplicably poisoned, but no one could find the reason at all. Is there really something unexpected in this spiral staircase?
People are usually like this. When they encounter something beyond their knowledge, they like to rely on ghosts and gods. Even a master with no taboos like the Taoist priest with a grimace will inevitably feel suspicious at this time, and thoughts will pop up in his head. A thought: Tongming Mansion... Tongming Mansion... What kind of ghost place is it that would call such a sinister and deadly name?
The grim-faced Taoist priest remembered the words of the previous guide and the inexplicable desolation of Bacho City. Combined with the current situation, an unknown fear appeared in his heart for the first time.
