Chapter 778: A Familiar Object
The man sneered when he heard his defense: "Don't make excuses, it's just that the two of you are useless, just a few foreigners, you can't handle it, can't you find another way to force them to leave as soon as possible?" In my opinion, you two are useless, no need to justify! ”
The two of them knelt on the ground, and this time they didn't even say any more words of defense.
There is no doubt that the main messenger behind the scenes who has been spreading rumors in the small town for several years, and even using various shady methods to prevent people from leaving the dense forest is this middle-aged man, and he is also the one who refines living people into unconscious mountain charms, he has been hiding in this hut and quietly waiting for the time to come, but he didn't expect that the danger that came earlier!
The thought of these two subordinates completely ruining his plan made the man hate the roots of his teeth, if it weren't for the fact that all the other subordinates were sent out by him, he really wanted to kill these two people together, so as to expose his secrets when the time came! The poison that had been developed for many years was almost finished, and he could not tolerate any failure at this juncture.
"Now that they've discovered the truth about the mountain charm, don't stay."
A short sentence was spoken, but it was like a gust of wind setting off a stormy wave, and the eyes of the man in black and the old man burst out with a flash of light: "Master, what do you mean......."
"Kill him, whether it is those outsiders or the original residents of the small town, no matter how much it costs, they will not let my secret leak out."
The two nodded in unison: "My subordinates understand." ”
Just as the two men were about to turn around and leave the cabin, a fourth man in the cabin stepped forward.
That person was none other than Nameless and the others who were worried about Nangong Zhuoran, only to see her wearing a light-colored shirt, standing beside the man with a smile like a girl: "No, those people can't be killed yet." ”
The man looked at her coldly: "Why can't you kill it?" Could it be that you've been out for too long over the years, so you're starting to be soft on people now? Or do those people have your old friend, so you can't do it? ”
"I didn't mean that."
Nangong Zhuoran had a gentle smile on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes when he spoke, but this smile not only did not look amazing in the eyes of the man, but made him feel bored.
He pointed at Nangong Zhuoran's nose and said viciously: "You can see your current identity clearly, it's not your turn to guide me to do anything, just do your part obediently!" Don't point fingers! ”
Being scolded by someone pointing at his nose like this, ordinary people can't help it, but Nangong Zhuoran still smiled and said like a person who has nothing to do: "Those people can only solve the problems you are facing now if they are alive, if they die, your poison may not have a breakthrough in your life." ”
Nangong Zhuoran's words successfully aroused the other party's interest: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"You must have heard of the treasure of the world, such as water in the wood, right?"
The man nodded without hesitation, for so many years, in order to develop a mountain charm that can completely refine people into a mountain charm without self-awareness, he has searched for all kinds of rare medicinal herbs all over the world, and those subordinates will be sent out just to find medicinal materials.
Now that he heard Nangong Zhuoran mention it, he naturally became a little more curious: "The water in the wood is on them?" ”
Nangong Zhuoran shook his head, and calmly said the effect of the water in the wood and the conditions for obtaining it: "Among those people, there is a pair of young men and women, their lives are different from ordinary people, the water in the wood picked by their hands is the real water in the wood, if you want to get this treasure, you must leave their lives." ”
Later, Nangong Zhuoran told the man the real reason why Feng Changqi and the others came to the dense forest.
The man was very interested in this: "I only knew that the water in the wood grows in places where ordinary people can't find it, but I haven't heard that the picking of water in the wood still has so many requirements for people's lives, it seems that I have been lonely all these years." ”
The men no longer insisted that their men take the lives of the strangers, but only that they kill the inhabitants of the city.
The two subordinates retreated as they were told.
As soon as they left, the man sat back in his position and began to look at Nangong Zhuoran standing in the wooden house again: "You came here specifically for this wood in the water?" ”
Nangong Zhuoran obviously trusted this person very much, and responded without hesitation: "That's right, I came here specifically for the sake of Muzhongshui, all the way here, in order to obtain Muzhongshui, I made a lot of preparations, and now I am just waiting for them to find the treasure." ”
"What is the use of water in the wood to you?"
The smile on Nangong Zhuoran's face froze for a moment, as if she was hesitating how to explain what happened to her, and after hesitating for a moment, she replied: "I have been hit by an extremely special poison, that is, my senior brother, and the world-famous holy hand doctor has no way to completely detoxify........ Because once I detoxify, my martial arts will be completely lost. ”
"Lost in martial arts?"
The man seemed to have heard something very interesting, raised his eyebrows and said: "No wonder when I see you, I always feel that you give people a strange feeling, that you have lost your martial arts, hehe, it seems that you are no different from the fish on the chopping board, and you are not qualified to talk to me about the conditions." "Wenxin School
The man's figure moved slightly, and the man had already appeared behind Nangong Zhuoran.
His pale and cold hand tightly pinched Nangong Zhuoran's slender neck, as if he could break it with a little force.
His life was held in his hands, but Nangong Zhuoran was not afraid at all, and still said with a smile: "I haven't gained anything from staying outside all these years, and the first lord of the country temporarily hid a key that can open the arsenal, don't you want to know where that key is now?" ”
The man's expression changed slightly: "Could it be that it is in your hands?" ”
"Not in my possession, but I know its whereabouts."
Looking at the smug expression of the woman in front of him, the man gritted his teeth and slowly let go of his hand: "How can you tell me the whereabouts of the key?" ”
Nangong Zhuoran looked at him fixedly: "I want water in the wood, and after the matter is completed, you will kill those strangers." ”
In his eyes, the lives of those people were just a few ants, and he didn't care at all: "Deal!" ”
In the small city, Moon Dance and Feng Changqi had just returned to the home of the star picker, because they wanted to study the specific ingredients of the poison in the mountain charm as soon as possible, Nameless and Yuan Zhen did not follow the large army to the dense forest to inspect the situation, but chose to stay at home to observe the mountain charm's every move.
At this time, the mountain charm had woken up from a coma.
Although he was not self-aware, he could still sense the danger, so he kept ducking back, barking his teeth at the two mortals who were observing him.
Nameless and Yuan Zhen have no fluctuations in their hearts, and they even find it quite interesting.
"What kind of poison do you say can make a living person completely unconscious?"
Yuan Zhen touched his chin, and was completely overwhelmed by this question: "How can I guess a question that you, a world-famous doctor can't even think of?" ”
Nameless turned his head and glanced at him: "You really don't have a clue?" ”
"This ...... This ........" Yuan Zhen touched his chin and thought about it, and finally thought of a possibility, "When I traveled in Nanzhao, I once heard the locals mention a kind of Gu poison technique, saying that it was to feed a special Gu worm into a person's stomach, and use the Gu worm to control the other party's actions? ”
He thinks the plan works, but Nameless doesn't: "It's impossible." ”
"You're talking about impossible reasons!"
Listening to the nameless and calm explanation: "The kind of Gu poison control method you said, I have also heard people talk about it, but that method requires a pair of sub-mother Gu to complete, each time the Gu worm is controlled by only one female Gu, is it possible that when that person manipulates the mountain charm, he needs to bring a large number of female Gu worms with him?" This is too unrealistic! ”
Yuan Zhen touched his cheek: "What you said still makes some sense." ”
Just as the two of them turned their gaze to the struggling and roaring Mountain Charm, Feng Changqi and Moon Dance returned, and they brought a box from Anan's house, which contained all kinds of medicinal herbs.
The box was sent to Nameless.
Yue Wu looked at Nameless and Yuan Zhen expectantly: "Two seniors, this is the various herbs we scavenged over there, and I feel that these items may be helpful to the two of you in developing the antidote, so I brought them all!" ”
Nameless half-squatted down and carefully examined the medicinal materials in the box, and shook his head with a complicated expression: "It's all useless things, and it's not a clue at all." Most of the herbs are used to treat external injuries, and some are used to clear heat and detoxify, and it is impossible to make poison at all. ”
Moon Dance lowered her face in disappointment; "No wonder the bad old man didn't worry about his home at all when he left, it turned out that he had already calculated it."
Feng Changqi was also a little disappointed, but she quickly remembered that she had taken something from that house, and she immediately took out that thing and put it in the palm of her hand: "Senior, how about you take a look at this?" ”
Nameless took the sachet, still shaking his head: "It's just an ordinary sachet." ”
Feng Changqi sighed: "It seems that we can only wait for the master and them to send back clues." ”
"Not necessarily!" Yuan Zhen stood up suddenly, stared at a certain place with burning eyes, and said, "Look at its changes, since you took out the sachet, he has been constantly retreating!" ”
Everyone followed the voice, only to see that the tightly bound mountain charm in the room was somehow retreating in horror, and the throat kept whining, as if he was very afraid of the spices in the sachet!
