Chapter 18 Medicine Sect
"I didn't expect to see you here."
In the night banquet hall paved with luminous glazed jade, Jiang Xiannan approached Cheng Ying who was standing silently in the corner, and said with emotion.
Cheng Ying kept his eyes on Xu Wangzhi before the banquet, turned around when he heard the voice, and did not speak.
"Your choice is wise. Now that Fengqing City has a grand master, even Cao Buning will think twice before making a move." Jiang Xiannan followed the gaze he had just looked at the chief seat.
Cheng Ying turned sideways, blocking Xu Wangzhi's figure: "Are you going to tell Cao Buning my whereabouts?"
The implication is that the Mozong doesn't know that I'm here now, and if someone from the Mozong finds out that I'm here, it will be your tip-off.
Jiang Xiannan frowned: "Aying, do you miss me so much? How could I and Mo Zongtong murder you."
Cheng Ying and him had nothing to say: "That's naturally the best, I still have something to do, please feel free."
After finishing speaking, Cheng Ying left without waiting for Jiang Xiannan to say anything else.
Tonight's night banquet, many people came, and most of them belonged to Jianzong, they were familiar faces, and the atmosphere was harmonious and natural.
When the wine was in full swing, Meng Luo, the grandson of the current suzerain of the Medicine Sect, stood up, held a glass of wine and walked towards the bored Xu Wangzhi on the right side of the chief seat.
"Young City Lord."
Thinking that it was another person who came to toast him, Xu Wangzhi responded with a non-smiling smile: "I don't drink."
Meng Luo had observed Xu Wangzhi for a while, and was not surprised by his refusal, he only said: "Young City Master misunderstood, this cup is not wine, but spiritual tea soup."
Xu Wangzhi raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
"I heard that the young city lord has just recovered from his illness. Naturally, Meng Luo dare not persuade him to drink. This tea soup is specially developed by the elders of my medicine sect. It is used by the disciples of the sect to recuperate. It is very beneficial to the body. Young city lord, do you want to try it?" Meng Luo said with a face With a gentle smile on his face, he explained patiently.
In front of him, it seems that no matter how hostile people are, they will calm down unconsciously.
Xu Wangzhi focused on another place: "The Medicine Sect?"
Munro nodded: "Exactly."
Xu Wangzhi reached out to take the teacup, bowed his head and took a sip.
"Mmm, it's delicious." Xu Wangzhi praised, and then asked Meng Luo, "Meng Luo, if you have free time tomorrow, you can come to Untitled Zhai to find me. I got a fairy grass not long ago, but unfortunately I searched all over the classics to find it. I don’t know what category it is, and I don’t know if I ask the medical officer, so I want to ask you.”
Meng Luo was a little surprised. He originally wanted to get close to Xu Wangzhi, but he didn't expect to succeed so easily: "Okay, I will come to visit tomorrow."
Xu Wangzhi smiled at him, raised his hand and drank the medicinal soup he brought.
Monro also smiled back at him, turned around and returned to his previous position.
Cheng Ying, who just walked over, saw the two people's appearance of admiration for each other as if they met each other late.
Cheng Ying stood still behind Xu Wangzhi: "Yaozong?"
Xu Wangzhi: "Well, it's called Meng Luo."
"It's the grandson of the Patriarch of Medicine Sect." Cheng Ying looked at Meng Luo who was seated.
"Oh?" Xu Wangzhi thought he was just a disciple of the Medicine Sect, but he didn't expect to be the grandson of the Sect Master.
Cheng Ying: "Compared to other immortal sects, the Medicine Sect is weak. Meng Luo came here in person and intends to make friends with you. Presumably, he has taken a fancy to the protection of the Great Master of Fengqing City."
Listening to his analysis, Xu Wangzhi felt a little weird in his heart: "You today..." Why are you talking so much?
Seeing his doubts, Cheng Ying took half a step forward, lowered his head and leaned closer to his ear: "Didn't the young master say that there are no useless people around?"
Warm breath rushed in, Xu Wang subconsciously looked around, and after making sure that no one was looking at them, he stretched out his hand and pushed Cheng Ying back.
Cheng Ying didn't use any force, and took half a step back according to his strength.
"Understood." It was a very normal action, but after Xu Wangzhi suspected that Cheng Ying had broken his sleeve, he couldn't take it lightly.What is he doing so close, he is not deaf.
Xu Zhong had a full view of the two people's actions as if they were fighting. Thinking of some rumors he heard recently, Xu Zhong frowned slightly.
……
In the afternoon of the next day, Meng Luo really came to visit, and Xu Wangzhi went out to pick up the person himself.
"Untitled Vegetarian?"
Munro saw the plaque at the door and read it out.
Xu Wangzhi: "It was called Ji Le Zhai before, but it was changed not long ago."
Munro: "What's the answer if there's no problem?"
Xu Wangzhi smiled: "There is no solution."
Meng Luo was stunned for a moment, and there was a touch in his eyes: "Wonderful."
This young city lord seems to be completely different from the various images he has heard since he entered the city.
Xu Wangzhi: "It's up to you, Meng Luo, don't make fun of me, please."
The two walked through the corridor and came to the reception room.
Xiang Shan prepared tea and brought it up, then stepped aside, not disturbing the two of them talking.
Cheng Ying stood at the door as usual.
After taking a sip of tea, Meng Luo mentioned the fairy grass that Xu Wangzhi mentioned last night.
"If I can't recognize it, I can ask the seniors of the sect for help, and I can always help the young city master to recognize it."
Xu Wangzhi: "Just call me Huangzhi, it's too natural to call me Young City Lord."
Meng Luo was a little surprised by Xu Wangzhi's amiability, but he also changed his words as usual: "Huangzhi."
Xu Wangzhi nodded with a smile, but soon, the smile on the corner of his mouth dissipated: "To be honest, I invite you to come here today, it can be said that it is because of that unknown fairy grass, or it can be said that it is not."
Munro was puzzled.
"I have something to ask for." Xu Wangzhi spread out, "This matter concerns my safety."
"You say." Hearing that life and death were at stake, Meng Luo didn't shirk, not to mention that this was a good time to get closer to Xu Wang.
Xu Wangzhi: "Someone poisoned me."
Meng Luo frowned: "Who is so bold, this is the reason why you have been ill for a long time? Does City Lord Xu know?"
Xu Wangzhi shook his head: "Actually, I'm not sure myself, because I don't know where he put the poison or what he looks like, I just know that it has made my temperament more and more gloomy over the years, and I often lose control and commit evil deeds. "
Thanks to Xu Yan, he can provide a reasonable explanation for the huge difference in temperament between himself and the original owner.
"You want me to help find out where the poison is?" Munro understood.
Xu Wangzhi nodded: "The medical officers in the city have been taking care of me for so long and haven't discovered the poison. I guess it's because they are not skilled. You are the medicine sect, so you should be able to go smoothly."
Munro: "Well, I'll try."
Xiang Shan at the side and Cheng Ying at the door were stunned, poisoning?When did this happen?
"You said that the poison can affect people's mind. I guess it needs to accumulate to penetrate the human body. This kind of poison usually comes from Northern Yin, and it is rare in Dongqi Continent. The other party most likely bought it from casual cultivators."
As Munro spoke, he got up and walked around the room.
Xu Wangzhi stood up and followed.
Cheng Ying and Xiang Shan followed closely behind.
A group of people walked to the door of the bedroom, Meng Luo asked Xu Wangzhi: "Can I go in and have a look?"
Xu Wangzhi: "Please go ahead."
Munro turned around the room, frowning.
"strangeness."
Xu Wangzhi: "What's wrong?"
"Usually this kind of chronic poison will be dropped in the living room, but I don't think there is anything suspicious about the furnishings in your room." Munro looked again beside the incense burner and pillow.
"If it's inside the house, where else can you hide things?"
When the words fell to the ground, Meng Luo and Cheng Ying suddenly raised their heads and looked at the roof beams.
Cheng Ying: "I'll go up and have a look."
A moment later, a piece of ebony wrapped with a hidden talisman was thrown down.
Monroe took it: "It's black wood!"
Cheng Ying jumped off the beam.
"The black cang wood likes yin, and it is a kind of poison. If the sick and weak smell it for a long time, it will cause loss of sanity, and it will affect the mood." Meng Luo dug out a leaf of spiritual grass from his mustard seeds, and took the crow The cang wood was tightly wrapped up.
"This leaf can block its smell. Generally, the sellers will also sell the leaves of this grass when they sell black cang. I saw it once in Sanshi when I was traveling with my grandfather a few years ago."
Xu Wangzhi took the black cang wood he handed over after wrapping it up.
"Thank you, if it wasn't for you, I might never have found out how he poisoned him."
"Absurdly," Meng Luo called him, "This method is insidious, and the perpetrator should be found immediately. If necessary, I can testify for you."
Xu Wangzhi thanked him again: "Thank you very much, I will tell my father about this matter, I wonder if you can stay in the city for a few more days?"
Monroe: "Of course, you can go on your own. I'll go back to the station. If you need something, you can send someone to call me."
"Thank you." Xu Wangzhi thanked him for the third time.
Munro laughed: "It's a little effort, you're welcome."
……
"Someone poisoned you?"
An angry voice sounded in the study, Xu Zhong was holding the black cang wood brought by Xu Wangzhi in his hand, his usual kind and kind look towards Xu Wangzhi was gloomy at this moment.
"Dare to play such a trick in the mansion, it seems that I am too generous."
"Qingjia."
A man in blue appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the study.
"Investigate this matter thoroughly."
Qing Jia bowed his head: "Yes."
After Qingjia took the order to retreat, Xu Zhong's ugly face softened slightly, and he looked at Xu Wangzhi with guilt.
"Nian Xiao, it's because of my father's carelessness. I didn't expect someone to be so bold."
Xu Huangzhi: "Father, you are entangled in mundane affairs, and you still have to practice, so you have limited energy. I can't blame you for this. Fortunately, Huangquanhua cured my frailty and also relieved the poison of Wucangmu, so I realized it. It’s not too late now, the most urgent thing is to catch the people behind it.”
As he said this, what Xu Wangzhi thought in his heart was that it was already too late. Because of this influence, the original owner acted extremely dangerously all his life, and in the end he harmed Xu Zhong and himself, which is a tragedy that cannot be repeated no matter what.
……
Xu Yan was dragged off Hua Niang's bed by Qing Jia.
"Who are you? Do you know who I am?" Xu Yan had no power to fight back, so he could only curse and threaten, "Do you know the Lord of Fengqing City? Grand Master! That's my uncle. You should be more sensible." Let me go now, and I can still plead for you in front of the city lord."
Qing Jia didn't say a word, and bound him to the city lord's mansion.
Seeing that he was heading towards the City Lord's Mansion, Xu Yan felt even more confident: "If you don't let go of me now, it will be useless to beg me later, I will make your death ugly."
At the moment of the City Lord's Mansion, the people kneeling on the bluestone slab trembled, and some of them couldn't even kneel steadily.
Xu Wangzhi asked someone to move a chair and sit on the porch far away, watching Xu Zhong deal with the matter.
"The city lord, brought by Xu Yan."
Qing Jia pushed the bundled people forward two steps, Xu Yan's feet softened, and he knelt directly in front of Xu Zhong.
The person who was still cursing before entering the door, when he saw the kneeling person in the courtyard, his face was pale, and he couldn't say a word for a long time at this moment.
It happened that Xu Zhong didn't want to hear his sophistry.
"Wu Cangmu...Xu Yan, you have a good trick." Xu Zhong's eyes were full of disappointment.
Xu Yan: "Uncle...Uncle, listen to my explanation..."
Xu Zhong asked someone to throw the Wucangmu box found in his house in front of him: "Do you want me to arrest the casual cultivator who sold you poison and confront him?"
The sky was dark and gloomy.
On snowy days, the air is still damp and cold.
Xu Yan gritted his teeth and couldn't refute a word.
"Qing Jia, clean it up." Xu Zhong's words were short, but they sealed the lives and deaths of more than 20 people.
Xu Yan couldn't believe that his death was approaching: "Uncle, uncle, you killed me, how can you explain to my parents?"
Xu Zhong, who was already planning to leave, turned around when he heard the words, and hit Xu Yan heavily on the black cang wood wrapped in leaves and grass.
After being hit like this, Xu Yan immediately vomited blood and lay down on the ground curled up.
"I am the Lord of Fengqing City, and I don't need to explain to anyone." Xu Zhong looked ugly, and ordered Qing Jia, "Pull out his tongue."
Seeing this, Xu Wangzhi got up from the chair: "Cheng Ying, let's go back."
Cheng Ying followed him, and after walking for a while, he asked the question in his heart: "Master, did you know before that the person who poisoned you was Xu Yan?"
That's why Xiangshan was asked to beat him out.
Xu Wangzhi: "Didn't the city lord find out this? How could I not know the foresight?"
Seeing that he obviously didn't want to talk about it anymore, Cheng Ying didn't say anything more.
"The people from the Medicine Sect are quite reliable," Xu Wangzhi decided to find something in his private treasury to give to Meng Luo as a token of gratitude, "Go back to my private treasury to see if there is anything suitable as a thank you gift."
Cheng Ying said calmly: "People in the Medicine Sect should only like rare spiritual herbs."
Xu Wangzhi: "I don't seem to have any spiritual herbs in my private treasury."
"The mustard space in the secret realm..." Cheng Ying reminded him.
Xu Wangzhi understood, and said: "I said, everything in there is yours. It's not appropriate to take a gift from you."
Cheng Ying shook his head: "It's not mine, it's ours."
Xu Wangzhi: "Why don't I exchange the things from the private warehouse with you, what do you think?"
Cheng Ying: "... as long as the young master is happy."
