Chapter 24
"One last time, where is he...?" Although it was a question, the same words had a completely different tone, calm and soothing, without the slightest bit of resentment.
The two looked at each other, thought for a while before saying "I don't know..."
Shi Fangshe remained silent, his eyes narrowed slightly, his inner anger gradually stained, and his expression became more gloomy and cold.
"Wang, we really don't know his whereabouts. It was only just now that we learned that he left at dawn, and he never said goodbye to us. I think he deliberately left before you woke up..."
Shi Fangshe still didn't speak, but his anger subsided and he calmed down again.
"If you have something to say, what does it look like to be timid and cowering!" Seeing Yu Chang's hesitant to speak, Shi Fang She was obviously a little annoyed.
"Wang...do you still hate Eldest Young Master?" Yu Chang cast a glance at Shi Fang She and immediately lowered his head.
"Since you're so scared, why do you dare to say it?" Shi Fangshe asked coldly without looking at the two of them, and then turned back to the inner room.
"Yu Chang is only afraid because he doesn't want to make the king angry, not because he is afraid of punishment." He said, walking towards Shifang She along with Wu Yi.
"Go out." Shi Fangshe said suddenly.
The two were startled, Shi Fangshe's temper was very clear to them, and it was rare that they didn't lose their temper when they said something they shouldn't have said.
For Shi Fangshe, Ji Mengchuan was like a nightmare, and no one dared to mention it lightly.
"Subordinates retire..."
"We are nearby, call us if something happens..." After finishing speaking, the two bowed their heads slightly, and then left.
Shi Fangshe closed his eyes and said nothing, standing quietly in front of the window, the window was half closed, and there was a gentle breeze, which was seven points cool and three points soft.
The pictures of the past are like smoke, but the moment you close your eyes, they emerge one by one, with clear outlines.
In which year and month, who said to protect forever.
In which year and month, who is thinking of unchanging trust.
What year and month is it again, no one speaks, and the ears are quiet...
Hate, hate?Shi Fangshe asked himself.
What on earth do I hate about him?Why should I stubbornly resent him?
The endless years of loneliness and loneliness made him more and more confused. When he killed all the haters and became the throne alone, he realized that he had nothing but hatred. When he lost hatred, he also lost his soul.So whenever he feels lonely and empty, he will kill. Only by looking into eyes full of anger can he feel that he is still alive and that he still has meaning in existence.
Until I met him again, my decayed heart seemed to smell a ray of spring. It turns out that existence is this kind of feeling...
Leaving Jimengchuan in Yanxia Mountain, listening all the way, heading towards Xuefengchen.
Although he didn't know the relationship between Qian Yuehen and Xue Fengchen, but just looking at this person's vicious and weird personality, Ji Mengchuan couldn't let Qian Yuehen go away with peace of mind.
And Shi Fangshe, after surviving a catastrophe, took risks by relying on his smooth and active meridians, risked his life once, retreated for three days, finally broke through the last hurdle, and improved his cultivation to a higher level.
Three days later, Shi Fangshe approached Lin Feng for the first time.
"Since you are not afraid of death, why do you want to live?" Lin Feng, who was sorting out the medicinal materials, heard the footsteps approaching, briskly, and knew who was coming, but he was not surprised at his bold adventure.
"If you have to calculate the pros and cons of every step, look forward and backward, and do it with [-]% certainty, it will only make you lose your original point, and every step will be like mud, and you will eventually be trapped in the mist, and you will not be clear."
"Don't you think there is someone you can rely on? That's why you are so unscrupulous and leave no way out."
"Everything in this world except yourself is the most unreliable existence. Hmph, relying on others is the most daring thing in the world."
"So, the reason you came to me is because you want to chat with me about ideals?"
Shi Fangshe didn't answer. He remained silent for a long time, clenched his fists and closed his eyes, as if holding back something.
"It doesn't look like your personality anymore." After a pause, Lin Feng looked up at Shi Fangshe and said, "Your injury is already healed, you still don't leave, because I think my Zhuhuangju Youmei is very beautiful, and I can't bear to bear it." I’m telling you, this hill is already mine, you go to another treasure hunting place!”
"Is this like your personality again?" Shi Fangshe was startled, staring at Lin Feng but said.
"The personality is casual, the original intention, who can use a ruler to plan?"
"Will you be paid for saving lives?"
"Can not have?"
"So what's the price?"
"Didn't your good brother tell you?" Lin Feng glanced at Shi Fangshe and said indifferently.
"Brother..." Shi Fangshe was taken aback, his expression was astonished, his body trembled a little, and his palms in his sleeves were clenched unconsciously.
"He...that's what he said?" Shi Fangshe said after a long silence.
"Are these two words very important?" Lin Feng said calmly without raising his head.
Shi Fangshe didn't answer, and fell silent again.
"I just begged him for a small section of the Extraterrestrial Stone, so I wouldn't be so nervous, and I didn't want to kill him."
"Heavenly Stone? But the jade flute in his hand?" Shi Fangshe asked suddenly when he heard the words.
"Yes."
"You!" Shi Fangshe glared at Lin Feng, feeling a fire in his heart, ready to move.
As for the origin and importance of that jade flute, Shi Fangshe knew better than anyone else.When they met in the cave before, when they saw the jade flute for the first time, they felt very similar.
"How? Not satisfied?" Lin Feng felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he raised his head and glanced at him.
"No, I lost my mind." Shi Fangshe took a breath and said after a moment of silence.
"Such procrastination is not at all different from your personality. If you want to ask something, just say it and don't waste my time."
"Sure enough!" Shi Fangshe said after a pause, "I want to know where to go or how to find traces of Ji Mengchuan."
"His friend is also the one who sent you to Yanxia Mountain this time, named Qian Yuehen."
"Thank you, farewell." After that, Shi Fangshe turned and left, and then went down the mountain with Wuyi Yushang.
There is no star and no moon, the dark night is like an abyss like ink, black with no shadows, and heavy like clouds.
It was already halfway through the night, and silent darkness enveloped the earth.
On the boundless seaside, waves one after another beat against the stone case crisply, making the long quiet and dark night even more eerie and terrifying.
Suddenly a light and shadow floated, and as two small footsteps walked slowly, two figures appeared faintly, coming from the deep dark night, standing impressively in the air-conditioning.
"Master, are we going to dive into the island at night?"
"Silly boy, even though I think I'm good at poison, I'm not so reckless and have no tactics at all."
"That..."
"I have already checked around the Isle of No Return. Fu Huaisheng is cautious and sensitive. Even at night, the guards are very strict. I almost exposed my identity." The poisonous hand Qianhe paused and said, "But it is not fruitless Come on, I have drawn up a corresponding policy, and I will definitely be able to kill Fu Huaisheng."
"What policy? Didn't you say there are other allies? Why didn't any of them show up?"
"Don't worry, this is the first step of our plan, and we need to be pioneers."
"how to do?"
"Come here with your ears."
"it is good"
In the dark night, a conspiracy has already begun.
The east wind blows, the moon shines, there is a frightening sound in the forest, birds neigh, two or three fireflies light up, and crows walk in the clouds and fog at night.
The dawn broke, there was no wind and no waves, and there was a dead silence on the boundless sea.
Suddenly, a few dead fish turned belly up and drifted along with the sea water, and then ten or hundreds of dead fish wrapped around withered seaweed in the sea off the island of no return.The turnip leaves planted on the shore of the island of no return began to wither and rot in pieces, indicating that the water quality was highly toxic, far exceeding the purification ability of turnip leaves.
"The water is poisonous! Everyone be careful!" Seeing this situation, the outer guards immediately shouted vigilance.
"Hurry up and report to the island owner!" Someone immediately left to report the situation.
As the sun rises, the sun slowly falls on the sea surface, and a layer of lavender mist floats faintly, gradually approaching the Isle of No Return visible to the naked eye as the waves roll.
"Water mist is different, everyone cover your mouth and nose!"
The brighter the sun, the darker the fog, and the faster it was. Before Fu Huaisheng could come, the poisonous fog was already approaching the shore. There was a crashing sound, and circles of guards fell to the ground in astonishment, without making a sound.
"Stand back, stay away from the fog!" Fu Huaisheng yelled, then scanned around, and found that on the outer protective lighthouse, the torches were shining brightly in the poisonous fog, as if they were swallowing the fog.
"Everyone get out of the way!" Concentrating on his thoughts, Fu Huaisheng made a decisive decision, and knocked down all the torches on the bank with his hands and palms, igniting the haystacks and oil barrels on the bank, and the fire jumped up, crackling and echoing in all directions.
"Island Master, although the poisonous fog of unknown origin can be blocked by the fire, the fog in the rear has not abated. If we don't find another countermeasure as soon as possible, I'm afraid it won't be enough to burn half of the island of no return." A man in gray looked carefully Zhou Fang approached and said.
"With your ability, are you sure you can crack this poison in a short time?" Fu Huaisheng asked.
The man in gray looked around again, thought for a moment before saying, "There are heaven and man outside the sky, and there are people outside the sky. Although my subordinates claim to be good at poison, they dare not rank first or second in the world. The form of this poison concept is extraordinary, and it is definitely not for ordinary poisoners." , the subordinates still need to investigate further.”
Hearing this, Fu Huaisheng pulled a vine with his backhand, then slammed it under the defense tower in the poisonous mist, and raised his eyes again, and saw the corpse of a guard who died of poisoning.
"How long does it take to make an assertion?" Fu Huaisheng asked, casting a glance at the raging fire around him.
"At least for a moment." The man in gray said after roughly inspecting the corpse.
"Okay, I'll give you two moments, I hope you won't disappoint me!" After finishing speaking, Fu Huaisheng gathered his energy with his palms together, and then attacked a century-old banyan tree in the direction of the inner island in the distance, only to hear a loud crash There was a loud noise, accompanied by a series of rustling noises, and the old banyan tree with luxuriant branches fell down, billowing smoke and dust.
"Use this as a boundary, quickly sort out a hundred miles of open space to cut off the fire." Fu Huaisheng gave an order, and everyone followed suit.
"What's going on?" Fu Qingya rushed over after hearing the situation, but was shocked to see the scene in front of him.
"Nothing, I will take care of it, this place is not suitable for you, elder sister, go back." Fu Huaisheng looked at Fu Qingya and said.
"It's not for me, is it for you?"
"Big sister..." Fu Huaisheng was interrupted by Fu Qingya before he could finish speaking.
"Don't always forget that my hand is holding a sword, not an embroidery needle!" Fu Qingya glanced at Fu Huaisheng and said.
"How come, then, eldest sister can break the poison?" Fu Huaisheng asked.
"No, although I have a certain amount of research on poison, but my talent is not so good, so..."
"Hehe, so why does eldest sister blow the wind here in the early morning, let's go back!"
"Although I can't detoxify it, I can still say a thing or two about this poison." Fu Qingya said slowly, looking up at the surrounding area.
"Oh? Seriously? How do you say it?" Fu Huaisheng looked at Fu Qingya in surprise.
"In the early years, when I traveled the rivers and lakes, I hadn't found you at that time. I have seen poison with similar techniques. It also fogs up when it encounters light and dissipates when it encounters fire."
"Do you know other ways to retreat?"
"Feng Shui can do anything, this technique is very similar to a person I know."
"who?"
"Poison Hand Qianhe." Fu Qingya paused and said, "I saw her poison many years ago by chance, and I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but since that incident happened, I wanted to learn how to detoxify, so I did a general survey of martial arts. The masters of poison making found that she was among the best, so they found her, and hoped that she would teach me how to make and detoxify poison."
"But why you don't seem to know how to detoxify at all, you just know a little about poison?"
Fu Qingya was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Huh, she actually said that I am stupid and not suitable for learning poison, and told me not to waste her time!"
"Eldest sister, you don't need to worry about it. Everyone is born with their own abilities, just do what you can."
"Damn it! It's obvious that she was teasing me, and she said that I don't understand, but I don't know how to think, and answered recklessly!" Fu Qingya frowned slightly as she spoke, showing that she was still brooding about that time.
"Oh? Then what kind of exam questions did she come up with that stumped you?"
"She asked me why bitter lotus seeds are bitter, but isn't the heart of lotus seeds all bitter? What else can bitter lotus seeds be!"
"Bitter lotus seeds?" the man in gray suddenly stood up and called after hearing the words.
"What's the matter, what's the connection?" Fu Huaisheng asked upon seeing this.
"The second island master's words awakened the dreamer, bitter lotus seeds! How could I have never thought of that!" The man in gray was overjoyed and patted his forehead happily.
"How to say?"
"Before this, there was a ingredient that I was not sure about. If I misjudged it, the result would be very different. Not only could it not detoxify, but it would also speed up death. It turned out to be bitter lotus seeds. How can I say that it has the smell of lotus seeds but is different from lotus seeds."
"Isn't it ordinary lotus seed heart? Isn't lotus seed heart all bitter?" Fu Qingya asked in surprise.
"Oh, so the bitter lotus seeds of Poisonous Hand Qianhe must have meant something else." Fu Huaisheng said.
"The island owner does not know that although this bitter lotus seed is called lotus seed in name, it is not a so-called lotus seed. It is a three-color flower that is very similar to a lotus in shape and breath, and its stamen is bright yellow, born at the end of Qingshui River. , the petals are blue, green and white from the pistil to the end, and each flower only bears one seed. A passer-by once thought it was a lotus seed, and died after eating it by mistake."
"Also...there are bitter lotus seeds..." Fu Qingya said in a low voice when he heard the words.
"Since the appearance is similar to that of a lotus, the effect must be different." Fu Huaisheng said.
"It's true that bitter lotus seeds like water and cold, and the toxin will quickly melt into the blood and spread all over the body after being eaten by mistake. However, such a cold poison is extremely afraid of light and heat. At first, I saw that the poisonous mist became stronger when exposed to light, and it was unpredictable. It turns out that the bitter lotus seed is combined with the fire vine, although the fire vine is happy to see the light, but it can't see the wet water, so the poisonous mist gets stronger the higher it goes up."
The man in gray paused and said, "So you can use fire to attack it. As for those who have been poisoned, you only need to drink a lot of hot water or shower the whole body with hot water immediately. You can also slowly get rid of it by warming yourself to a fire."
"With such a detoxification method, the poisoner should not be an extremely evil person." Fu Huaisheng said.
"The most poisonous woman's heart, don't trust women too much, that poisonous hand Qianhe is definitely not a kind person!" Fu Qingya yelled at Fu Huaisheng when he heard the words.
"There are countless people who use poison in the world. It is not necessarily the poisonous hand Qianhe who did it. Elder sister, don't lie." After finishing speaking, Fu Huaisheng looked around, and saw that the poisonous fog and the fire were in a stalemate.
"But we need to think of other ways. The poisonous fog can come again, and arson is not a long-term solution." The man in gray looked around and said to Fu Huaisheng.
"Remove the poisonous fog first, and then I can make arrangements freely." After finishing speaking, Fu Huaisheng turned to the crowd and said, "Immediately prepare a boat filled with withered grass and branches, pour tung oil on it, throw it into the sea, and then set it on fire with arrows."
"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison, and immediately executed it.
A moment later, the boats were all ready. Fu Huaisheng and Fu Qingya waved their sleeves and flipped their palms. Fate sent all the boats into the poisonous fog. Immediately, the archers stringed their bows and ignited all the boats in the water.
Two hours later, the purple poisonous mist surrounding the Island of No Return had completely dissipated.
"Island Master, do you want to rectify the damage and purify the water?" A man in black asked for instructions.
"En." Fu Huaisheng nodded, and raised his hand to signal for each to execute.
"The person who poisoned him must still be on the coast. You may meet him if you go at this time." Fu Qingya said, planning to board a boat and leave the island.
"Hey, stop." Fu Huaisheng raised his hand to stop Fu Qingya, and then said, "Calm down, the enemy will take advantage of the opportunity to enter, or turn the tiger away from the mountain. The island of no return will be guarded by the elder sister. I will go out to investigate the situation."
"I..." Fu Qingya still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Fu Huaisheng.
"Island of No Return is our home, elder sister must take good care of it!" After saying that, he boarded the ferry and left, leaving Fu Qingya in deep thought.
"Hmph, you will block me with this sentence!"
