Seeing that Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo were about to return to the camp, Changsheng hurriedly followed them.
Zhang Shan turned around and looked back, pointing his finger at the immortal, "You stay, you are proficient in pharmacology, see what kind of poison has been added to the water, and find a way to get rid of it as soon as possible."
Changsheng said, "Hold the two Japanese pirates pretending to be me and Datou. They may have the antidote on them."
"The poison was not caused by them," Zhang Shan said in a deep voice, "hurry up and find a way to detoxify the poison. Soldiers and horses must drink water. If there is a problem with the water source, it will easily shake the morale of the army."
Changsheng didn't understand why Zhang Shan was so sure that the two Japanese pirates were not the ones who poisoned him. He was about to ask more questions when he heard Zhang Shan say to Zhang Mo, "You can stay here too. I'll go back and get the person myself."
After Zhang Shan finished speaking, he used the body technique to lighten his body and left the ground. Changsheng felt guilty and embarrassed, raised his head and waved his hands, "No, no, you go back first, I will stay here to detoxify."
"Okay." Zhang Mochong nodded to Changsheng, then stepped on the ground to use his strength, and followed Zhang Shan.
After the two left, Changsheng immediately began to search for the source of the poison. Poisoning in living water is different from poisoning in stagnant water. Living water is flowing. Normal poisons will be washed away by the stream soon after entering the water. He wants to make the poison continue to take effect. , the poison source must be buried.
The source of the poison may be poisonous water or poisonous powder. Whether it is poisonous water or poisonous powder, there will be a storage container and a slow release device. Since the other party intends to poison, the poison source must be placed extremely concealed and will not be exposed. People can find it easily.
The stream flows for at least ten miles from the source to the military camp. Searching both sides of the stream one by one is time-consuming, laborious, and impractical. If you want to find the source of the poison as soon as possible, you must find a unique way.
Since fish have the habit of swimming upstream, you cannot conclude that the poison source is buried in the pond just because there are poisoned fish in the source pond. If you want to find the poison source, you must first determine what kind of poison the other party used.
He caught a poisoned crucian carp and cut it open directly. As the crucian carp twisted and struggled, a stench hit his face. At this time, the fish's blood had turned from bright red to pitch black, the fish's heart was swollen, and the fish's liver shrunk.
The liver is mainly responsible for detoxification. The liver of any living creature that is poisoned, whether it is a human or an animal, a fish or an insect, will definitely swell and become enlarged. However, the liver of this crucian carp was severely atrophied.
As the saying goes, it's easy for those who want to talk, but it's not difficult for those who don't. Changsheng is proficient in Qihuang pharmacology, and he can guess what kind of poison the other party has administered almost instantly. The fish's eyes will turn white, the blood will turn black, the fish's liver will shrink, and the fish will become excited, even if it is dissected. The stomach is still beating wildly, there is no doubt that the corpse is poisoned, there is no second possibility.
Knowing that the other party was using corpse poison, Changsheng began to swim down the river, looking for places that could not be illuminated even if the sun rose. What zombies fear most is the sun. If the poison source is exposed to the sun, it will lose its toxicity.
Although it is possible to turn into a zombie after being bitten by a zombie, it does not mean that a person infected with corpse poison will definitely turn into a zombie. If the poison is not enough, the poisoned person will only lose his mind and go crazy, and the corpse poison will gradually erode his internal organs. They will die after that. It seems that putting corpse poison in this kind of free-flowing stream is not enough to turn the soldiers downstream who accidentally drank the poisoned water into zombies. It will only make them lose their minds and become crazy and die quickly.
The flow of the creek is not large, and the water quality is clear. You can clearly see the situation at the bottom of the water. The most important thing is that there are not many places where the sun cannot shine at all during the day. After walking down for three or four miles, Changsheng found the source of the poison. Beneath the water stone the size of a millstone lies a zombie with its arms and legs chopped off.
This zombie is not a zombie in the true sense, but a person who has been bitten by a zombie and transformed into a corpse. Although his hands and feet were cut off and he was pressed underwater and soaked for a long time, the zombie is still not dead, it is just gone. Hands and feet are not allowed to struggle to move.
After a short observation, Chang Sheng dragged the zombie up from under the water stone by its hair. What he didn't expect was that the zombie turned out to be a female corpse. Although the limbs were missing and the face was hideous, he could still see the corpse. She was a young woman, and she was very beautiful during her lifetime.
Changsheng found some thatch from the waterside and wrapped the limbless zombie into a rice dumpling. Then he carried it and swooped down the mountain. He called Mr. Hei and rushed to the military camp.
Since it was a temporary camp, there were no fences or gates around the camp. There were only large groups of soldiers patrolling back and forth. When Changsheng arrived on horseback, someone immediately shouted and asked, "Who is coming?!"
"It's me." Changsheng said with anger.
"Let him in," Zhang Shan's voice came from the Chinese army tent. Although he never shouted loudly, because of the use of spiritual energy, the entire camp could hear it clearly.
After hearing the commander's order, the soldiers immediately retreated to make way. Changsheng rode directly to the Chinese army's tent, got off his horse, and walked quickly into the tent carrying the zombie wrapped in thatch.
At this time, in addition to the Zhang Shan brothers and sisters, there were more than twenty generals in command of the army. Most of these people were military attachés, and there were only seven or eight people from the Taoist sect wearing Taoist robes.
In the middle of the big tent, there were two tied-up people lying in the middle of the tent. One of them looked exactly like himself, while the other dwarf was exactly the same as the big head in both body shape and appearance.
Not only were the two men tied up, but their acupuncture points were also sealed. Before Changsheng arrived, Zhang Shan and others in the tent must have been interrogating the two men.
Seeing Changsheng entering the account, everyone except Zhang Shan's brother and sister stared in shock. Zhang Shan said casually, "This is true."
Hearing Zhang Shan's words, several Taoists who knew Chang Sheng rushed to him to salute him, while the generals in armor knelt down half-kneeling to salute him, honoring him with the title "Qian Sui".
Chang Sheng was not surprised that everyone already knew that he had been made a prince, because the title of king needed to be announced to the world, and even the troops who were on an expedition would receive the news.
Chang Sheng returned the greetings one by one, then pointed at the zombies he brought back and said to Zhang Shan, "The poison has been found. It's a zombie with its limbs cut off. The poisoning method was very clumsy. The person who poisoned it must not be good at using poison."
"If you go against the will of heaven, you will be punished by heaven." A Taoist man said angrily.
Changsheng had just arrived, and he didn't know who the demon in this person's mouth was, so he immediately said, "Once the source of the poison is gone, the poison in the stream will be detoxified. After sunrise, the fish in the stream will die, and they will not die until they stay upstream." The water from the stream is drinkable under the fish float.”
Hearing Chang Sheng's words, Zhang Shan breathed a sigh of relief, turned to one of the generals and said, "Send soldiers and horses to protect the water source, one man at ten steps, until the source."
The latter stood up in response, quickly walked out of the camp, and dispatched troops and horses.
There were people from the Taoist sect in the tent who knew why Chang Sheng had brought zombies back. One of them stood up and said, "Sir, those cooks did not suffer from external injuries. The glutinous rice is not very effective in extracting poison. I will remove the corpse teeth and grind them into powder." Take it to detoxify them.”
"Thank you." Zhang Shan nodded.
The speaker turned around and left the camp, and when he walked to Changsheng's side, he nodded to him again.
Changsheng stepped forward, squatted in front of the person pretending to be him, and inspected him. Sure enough, he found several small silver needles behind his ears and back of his head.
After the silver needles were removed one by one, the imposter's facial features immediately changed, gradually revealing his true face. He was a young man with a hooked nose and mournful eyes.
Changsheng immediately went to examine the dwarf dressed as a big head, and found a silver needle from the back of his head. After removing the silver needle, his appearance also changed. He was also a young man, but this man's face was full of fear, unlike that one. So violent and cruel as mourning eyes.
However, although this person's appearance has changed, he is still in the shape of a dwarf. It is not known whether this person was originally a dwarf or if there are other methods of changing his body shape that have not been eliminated.
Changsheng originally thought that among the Japanese pirates, only Hattori Kana could change his appearance. He never thought that these two young men could also change their appearance. This made him quite worried. If someone disguised himself as himself and sneaked into the palace, he didn't know whether Datou and others could. Identify in time.
"Okay, let's break up. Let's go back to our respective bases and appease the soldiers' morale." Zhang Shan waved to dismiss the meeting.
The generals on both sides stood up and left the camp. After a while, only Zhang Shan's brother and sister, Chang Sheng and the two Japanese pirates lying on the ground were left in the tent.
Changsheng didn't know whether the two Japanese pirates had confessed before he arrived, so he looked at Zhang Shan with questioning eyes.
Zhang Shan knew why Changsheng looked at him, "Until you arrived, the two of them were still quibbling."
Hearing Zhang Shan's words, Changsheng walked up to the two of them and asked, "Who are you?"
As soon as Changsheng opened his mouth, the two of them trembled at the same time. They both talked about people's names and the shadows of trees. Changsheng was a notoriously cruel official. His ruthless methods not only frightened the courtiers and officials, but also the Japanese pirates. Many people have heard of it.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Changsheng asked again in a cold voice, "Let me ask again, who are you?"
When Changsheng asked the question, he observed the expressions of the two of them closely. Although the mournful eye was filled with fear, its nose was trembling, with a ferocious face like a trapped animal, while the dwarf's eyes were filled with fear and cowardice.
"Here comes someone." Changsheng said in a deep voice.
There were soldiers on duty outside the big tent. They had heard everyone calling for Chitose earlier. They knew that Changsheng was the prince and knew about his relationship with Zhang Shan's brother and sister, so when they heard his call, they immediately raised the curtain and entered the tent, "Here!"
"Drag this one out and kill it." Changsheng pointed at the mourning eye and said.
The soldier responded loudly, stepped forward, picked up the man, and dragged him outside the tent. The mourning man knew that he was about to die. Instead of begging for mercy, he instead cursed loudly. This man knew that Chang Sheng could speak Japanese, and all he shouted was Japanese. talk.
The soldiers who had been on duty outside the big tent all year round naturally knew the general's intentions. After dragging the mourning eye out of the tent, they directly raised the knife and dropped it. With a shrill scream, the mourning eye immediately lost its head.
Not long after, the soldier came into the tent, carrying the mourning head in his hand, "Go back to your lord, the prisoner has been executed on the spot."
Upon seeing this, Changsheng winked at the soldier. The latter understood and deliberately threw the head in front of the dwarf. The head rolled on the spot with its eyes open, and it was very scary.
When the dwarf saw his companion's head, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. Before Chang Sheng could speak, he said urgently, "Don't kill me, I tell you, I tell you everything..."
