Chapter 98 Mysterious Pharmaceutical Old Man

After the rain in Ezhou City, the breeze hits, and the air is particularly fresh. Although there are no stars in the night sky, except for the occasional black clouds or two floating by, it is extremely clear.

It has not rained thousands of miles away. The night is as bright as usual. Xianjie has been sleeping soundly these days. She always feels panic and doesn't understand the reason. She always feels badly. "Δ

Xianjie thought that she was in the Valley of Beauty and had no worries about her life, and her brother Zheng was far away from the world, so she must have been hosting some life-related matters for the Valley. She had a bad premonition these days, and the two of them had a sense of understanding. If it weren't for her danger, then only Brother Zheng would be the only brother Zheng. Xianjie couldn't help but worry about Zong Zheng. She had already thought of a way to leave the Valley of Beauty, but because she had not obtained the antidote, she had to continue waiting in the Valley of Beauty.

Since thinking about the way to leave the valley, Xianjie was eager to get the antidote, so she took advantage of the time when Bai Diao returned and put on her night clothes and went to the forbidden area of ​​Zhonggu to investigate.

Tonight, Xianjie was still standing outside the pavilion, staring at the night sky carefully, as if waiting for something. Suddenly, a black shadow passed through the night sky and headed towards the hills full of flowers and plants in the middle valley. Xianjie showed joy on her face, immediately returned to the Xuanshe, locked the door, and changed into a night-walking clothes. She was about to explore the forbidden area of ​​Zhonggu again at night.

Xianjie blew out the candle in the room, then came out of the window, and quietly headed towards the forbidden area.

With the experience of entering the secret room a few times, Xianjie became familiar with the road and came to the corridor smoothly. Seeing someone in front of her, Xianjie took advantage of the night and hid quietly behind a pillar and stared carefully in front of her.

As usual, the two big men took a large iron cage and locked the Bai Diao who returned the news inside. Then they carried the iron cage into a room. Soon, a noise from the Bai Diao came from the sound. Xian Jie took advantage of the sound and immediately walked through the corridor and passed the door.

At this moment, a door in front suddenly opened. Xian Jie immediately closed her heels and immediately lifted her breath and flew. She jumped and fell lightly on the roof.

Manager Nakagu walked out of the house, holding a tray in his hand, and there were more than a dozen small medicine bottles in the tray. Xianjie leaned on the roof of the tile and looked at the medicine bottles carefully. It was vaguely visible that there were paper sticking on the bottle body, as if there were words written, and it was difficult to see clearly.

When Xianjie saw that it was a medicine bottle, she inquired many times, but finally caught a clue and felt a little happy.

After Manager Nakagu left, Xianjie walked softly to the corresponding roof of the room where Manager Nakagu walked out, gently uncovered a few tiles, and looked down through the gap. She saw that it was empty and spacious inside, and there was nothing. Xianjie couldn't help but wonder. She clearly saw Manager Nakagu brought out a lot of medicine bottles from inside, why didn't there be anything inside? Is there any secret room inside? Xianjie turned her mind and then realized it.

The two men also walked out of the room where the Bai Diao was placed and left with the manager of the Nakagu. Xianjie quietly put back the tiles, took advantage of the invisibility, flew down to the corridor, and gently pushed the house where the manager walked out.

After Xianjie tiptoed into the room, she carefully closed the door again. The room was empty, and only the candlelight on the four walls were shining with light. If there was a secret room, there must be a mechanism, but where the mechanism was. Xianjie didn't know for a moment, so she began to search around, sometimes knocking on the floor tiles, sometimes quietly on the wall, acting secretly, and dare not make a statement, so the progress was very slow. Xianjie felt that the mechanism was not in such a place.

The candle was full of candlelight, and Xianjie's eyes could not help but turn to the four candle holders hanging on the four walls of the room. After careful look at the four candle holders and touched the dust accumulated on the table with his fingers. After comparison, Xianjie couldn't help but feel sad. This house is a secret room and few people can enter, let alone arrange people to come and clean and take care of them frequently. Therefore, there is a thin layer of dust hidden in the room. Naturally, the candle holder is the same. However, Xianjie found that the candle holder on the left side of the room was obviously less dust compared to the other three candle holders. There was a gap around that was obviously free of dust. I think it must be because people often twisted the candle holder.

According to Xianjie's intuition, she slowly turned the candlestick with a little force. Sure enough, the candlestick could be turned and opened. After a while, an opening appeared on the ground against the wall, and a little light came out from the bottom.

Xianjie was secretly happy, and then walked carefully into the narrow tunnel entrance.

After a step down, he came to the secret room below. When he first arrived inside, he smelled a strong smell of medicine. Some medicinal materials and utensils could be seen vaguely. It seemed like the place where the medicine was extracted by Beauty Valley, Xianjie walked carefully, but saw an old man with disheveled head and legs tied with iron chains squatting on the ground, his head and beard were all white.

Xianjie was afraid that she would shout loudly, and as soon as she met, she picked up a small stone hammer grinding powder on her hand and wanted to fly in front of her to kill the man. Unexpectedly, this person couldn't help but make a sound, and immediately raised his finger to his lips and said, "shushing", indicating that Xianjie was quiet.

Xianjie stopped her hand in time, looked at the person in front of her, looked at his behavior, and saw that his feet were tied up, and felt that he should not be the Mongolians in the Beauty Valley, so she asked softly.

"Who are you?"

"Don't bother who I am, you just need to know that I am not the same person as the people here. I think the girl and the people here should not be the same person as the people here?" The old man put his finger down from his mouth and replied softly, with a concise and steady tone.

Xianjie thought that the important thing was important, so she ignored the old man. Seeing that he was silent and was tied up on his body, she felt that he should be a person who was forced to be pitiful by Beauty Valley, so she quickly looked around to find the antidote and no longer had any warning to the old man.

When the old man saw Xianjie rummaging around the medicine cabinet and medicine bottle, he knew what she was going to come and asked kindly,

"Is the girl here to find medicine? Why don't you ask me?"

When Xianjie heard this, she stopped immediately, turned around and came to the old man and asked,

"How do you know which medicine I'm looking for?"

The old man pointed to the medicinal materials, medicine bottles and utensils spread everywhere and said, "All the medicines here are made by me. You just need to tell me which antidote you need and I can find it for you."

"That's great, old man, I'm poisoned. What antidote should I need?" Xian Jie saw that the old man was a good man and seemed willing to help him, so she called the "old man" and asked politely.

The old man couldn't help but feel funny when he heard the little girl in front of him turn to call him the old man enthusiastically. Seeing that the little girl was sincere, he didn't have the heart to be a snob, so he didn't blame him. However, he had no definite answer to Xianjie's questions, so he replied truthfully.

"There are several kinds of fragrance poisons. Each of them has different ingredients. However, the fragrances on the poisoned person are similar and difficult to distinguish. The corresponding antidotes must also be prepared by different fragrance poisons."

After hearing the old man's explanation, Xianjie asked quickly,

"Does the old man know what kind of scent and poison in my body?"

The old man shook his head and replied, "I don't know,"

Xianjie was a little disappointed when she heard this, her eyes turned dim.

The old man deliberately teased Xianjie. Seeing that Xianjie was a little disappointed, he said again,

"Miss, don't worry. As far as I know, you are not the one who is incense and poison in the valley. The person in charge will also take the antidote regularly. If the girl can bring the antidote to me, I will know what kind of poison you are in, and you can make the antidote for you."

"Really?" Xianjie asked,

The old man nodded and responded with great sincerity.

"Thank you, old man."

Xianjie was excited for a moment and couldn't help but grab the old man's hands with both hands and sway slightly. She thought that if the fragrance could be relieved, she could recover her freedom, and she couldn't help but be extremely happy.

The old man was moved by Xian Jie's actions. Looking at Xian Jie's excited look, tears flashed in his eyes and his heart was filled with fragrance.

It has been trapped in this dungeon for more than 20 years, and no one has ever spoken to him well. Xian Jie accidentally put her hand on her body, but she really doesn't dislike herself. This kind of girl is very pure and kind. The old man knows people well and does not know how to read it wrong.

I remembered that I was threatened by Beauty Valley and did many unjust things and harmed many kind people, especially pure and kind girls like Xianjie, and I couldn't help but feel quite blamed myself.

When I saw Xianjie, the old man also thought of his daughter for a moment, so he also felt a sense of longing for a moment.

Thinking of this, the expression of true feelings cannot be suppressed, so a little tears appear in my eyes.

Xianjie saw the slight tears in the old man's eyes and asked with concern: "Old man, why are you crying?"

The old man stubbornly defended: "Who cried? I just suffer from eye disease."

After the old man finished speaking, he couldn't help but think of something wrong with what he said just now, and then said sadly,

"Miss, I forgot to tell you that the antidote is just an antidote used to suppress toxins. It may be difficult to eradicate it."

Xianjie couldn't help but ask, "Old man, aren't you a pharmaceutical manufacturer? Why can't you even mediate the cure for it?"

The old man explained: "Any poison has an antidote, but the fragrance poison penetrates into the skin and penetrates the bone marrow, and there is no cure anymore. It can only be temporarily maintained by the medicine."

When Xianjie heard this, she understood the truth. She was overjoyed and had a little sadness in her eyes. However, at the moment, she no longer cared about much and had no choice. Therefore, she still cheered up and replied,

"Since that's the case, I'll ask the old man to draw the antidote for me to suppress the toxins. I have no choice now."

The old man felt deeply guilty and naturally agreed to Xianjie's request.

Xianjie kowtowed to the old man and thanked him. The old man immediately helped Xianjie up, feeling guilty in his heart, and replied,

"Don't do this, I'm ashamed. After all, I'm guilty of incense and poison in your body. Since I have had the opportunity to forgive, how can I not seize it?"

Xianjie stood up and asked again,

"Does the old man know about 'ice beans'?"

Xianjie was worried about Zong Zheng. Seeing that the old man was a person who was very accomplished in poisons, he thought that since all the poisons in the valley were developed by him, this ice bean might be the same. However, Xianjie could feel that the old man was forced to do something, and he must have some difficulties. He also felt guilty. If he mentioned it directly, he would be afraid that it would arouse his guilt again, so he asked tactfully.

"Ice Bean." The old man looked solemn and his expression was shocked, as if he knew about this thing.

After pausing for a moment, the old man explained,

"Ice beans are a very poison. People who are infected with ice beans will have cold blood when the yin energy is at its peak at midnight, and their whole body seems to be in a ten thousand-year-old ice cave, which is very painful."

Xianjie listened to the old man's explanation and thought that since the old man knew this thing, he must have known the solution, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged the old man,

"Please help the old man and give him an antidote."

The old man sighed, quickly helped Xianjie up and replied,

"Miss is afraid that it's a misunderstanding. I have only heard of this ice bean. This kind of strange poison grows in the bitter and cold state, which is a rare poison. I have only heard of it, but I have never seen ice beans. Moreover, as far as I know, today, there is only the medicine to suppress ice beans, but there is no antidote to eradicate ice beans."

When Xianjie heard the old man's reply, she couldn't help but feel twitching. When she thought that if her brother Zheng had no antidote, she would suffer from the cold poison every day, she felt very distressed.

"Girl, leave here quickly. As time goes by, someone should come down." The old man suddenly reminded, urging Xianjie to leave quickly.

Only then did Xianjie realize that she had been staying here for a long time. If she was revealed, all her previous efforts would be wasted, so she quickly bid farewell to the old man.

The old man reminded: "The next time we meet is the most appropriate time."

Xianjie kept it in mind and quickly left the floor.

Xianjie walked out carefully, and just as soon as she got out of the tunnel, she heard a slight rumbling sound.
