Chapter 9 The Ninth World 1
Chapter 9 The Ninth World 1
When Shang Xiuyun opened his eyes, the sky outside had already darkened.The night in the jungle is not silent.The howling of wolves can be vaguely heard, so it is not a wise decision to drive at night.But what seemed unwise to others was the best thing for him.The less likely a method is to be suspected by others, the more he will try it.
His internal energy is so peaceful that the toxins in his body are also extraordinarily peaceful.Although there is still some faint pain, it is not a serious problem.This also strengthened his idea of leaving at night, it would be best not to use lightness kung fu.If he was discovered, it would be easier for him to escape in the night than in the day.
Taking advantage of the faint moonlight shining into the entrance of the cave, Shang Xiuyun took out some medicines from his bag.Naturally, he made this package out of the clothes of a disciple of the Righteous Way sect, and used it to temporarily store some prepared medicines and some freshly picked herbs.In the past three months, he did not know how many such simple packages had been replaced.
Take out several bamboo tubes from the package, pour out the medicine inside and mix.The medicinal herb had a pungent smell, which made Shang Xiuyun involuntarily speed up his movements.Make the herbs into a viscous state with water.Apply it on the face very skillfully, as if it has been done countless times.
When the herbs dried up on his face, his original appearance could not be seen at all.It's obviously herbs of various colors, after being mixed, it dries up on the face.What appeared was a mask as thin as a cicada's wing, indistinguishable from human skin.Just changing the outline of the face slightly, it becomes another person completely.
The originally fair skin is now a healthy bronze color, almost the same as most mountain farmers who have worked all year round, and even the demeanor of the whole body is completely different.He took out a bamboo slip again, soaked his own hair in it, and applied some on his scalp, enduring the unpleasant smell of herbs.He watched his hair grow longer until it reached his waist before he came out of his hiding place.
Based on the route he traveled during the day, he found the river that ran through the forest, and then jumped down without hesitation.
From the moment he entered this forest, he was ready to leave at any time.Although this time was much earlier than he expected, it was understandable.After swimming a short distance in the icy water, he landed on the bank.The medicinal herb smell on his body has completely disappeared.He also tore off all his clothes and left them by the river without hesitation.
The waist-length hair is tied up with the most common wooden stick.The package on his body was replaced by a bamboo basket that could be carried on his back, and some common herbs were placed inside.There was a bit of a simple and honest smile on his ordinary face, no one would associate him with the delicate, cold and indifferent monk Zijue.
Shang Xiuyun would nod with a smile on his face when he saw someone in the right way passing by, and he went down the mountain in full view.On this mountain, apart from people in the righteous way, there will also be nearby residents who will go up the mountain to collect some medicinal herbs and exchange them for some money.Naturally, they have seen a lot these days, so they don't have any impression of such an ordinary man.
After descending the mountain safely, Shang Xiuyun settled down in an inn not far from the foot of the mountain.Concentrate on developing the antidote to the toxins in your body.
Although he was very careful in the jungle, but in the inn he had to stimulate his inner strength from time to time to test the properties of the poison.When he first learned medical detoxification, he used his own body to test poison countless times, enduring the pain to observe the properties of the medicine in person and develop the antidote.That's why his body became a medicine man that was hard to see in a thousand years, and that's why his body was smashed to pieces.
But even though he has experienced countless scenes of testing his body for poison, the pain from the inside out in his body will make him unable to concentrate, and even pass out.Human endurance is always limited.Even after countless exercises, he still has limitations.If he fails, he will try again.After this, his face covered by the disguise became paler and paler.But the effect of easy appearance is still the healthiest bronze color.
When he went to buy medicines, he always changed into a few more 'faces', and went around before returning to the inn.For a while, no one noticed his existence.There are even quite a few righteous people who agree with the statement that Zhong Yun has been tortured to death, and have a little more admiration for the new female owner of Wuliu Villa.However, Zhong Yun didn't care about these.
Before he had time to wash off the disguise with the potion on his face, he began to make the medicine, and only after the preparation was successful, he washed off the disguise, took a bath and changed his clothes.Before taking the medicine, he was like the most devout believer, although he had long since lost any faith in his heart.
Let the skin breathe a little, and then he changed his face again.Even in sleep, he still hasn't forgotten the situation he is in now.Be vigilant all the time.
After everything was done, Shang Xiuyun swallowed the prepared medicine.The sudden sharp pain made the scene in front of his eyes a bit dark, but he did not show any discomfort, fear or even panic from the beginning to the end.Always feel the changes of toxins in your body carefully.After realizing that those toxins did not show any signs of being eradicated, on the contrary, they became more active.He knew he had failed again.
He has failed too many times, but he failed to make him a little impetuous, but made him think more rationally about what went wrong with his medicine.
Take a pen to write and draw on the paper, fill it with a medicinal material, and it will be crossed out again soon.I don't know how many times I have done it back and forth like this.The sky outside the window was bright again after being dark, and a smile finally appeared on that cheek again.After checking it back and forth several times, Shang Xiuyun was fully sure of the antidote this time.After all, the dozens of experiments in the past few days were not done in vain.
Soon, the smile on his face was put away.When Shang Xiuyun turned around to buy medicines, he saw the person who had been standing in the room for an unknown amount of time.With the deepening of the poisoning, now he is not even as good as a third-rate expert, let alone Yan Long who is a decisive expert.
Shang Xiuyun finally realized what hope is and then despaired again.Without hesitation, he dodged to the bed, and his fingers touched the poison he had placed with incomparable precision.Just as he was about to throw the poison across his face, his wrist was clamped.
What followed was the surging pain from the use of internal force, Shang Xiuyun stared at Yan Long's face that was close at hand.A mouthful of blood spurted out directly, and flowed down the slashed face.It really was bloody all over the face... It's a pity that the only person who was lucky enough to watch has completely lost his sanity.
Using all his internal strength was enough to make the toxins that had penetrated into his lungs further deteriorate.
Yan Long quickly reached out to catch Zhong Yun's falling body, but casually wiped away the blood on his face.Facing the eyes of the person in his arms, he clearly saw the vigilance and regret inside.Fortunately, there is no hatred...
It wasn't until the person in his arms closed his eyes that he hugged him by the waist as if awakened from a start.He ordered his subordinates to take away all the things that belonged to Zhong Yun in the room, while he hurried to the nearest Demon Cult stronghold.
Putting Zhong Yun on the soft bed, the subordinates looked for the doctor with great winking.Yan Long pursed his lips slightly, and stretched out his hand to hold Zhong Yun's pale, somewhat transparent palm.Zhong Yun's body was a bit cold, and the coolness made people feel very comfortable.But it didn't look like the temperature of a living person, as if his life was gradually draining away. Yan Long's eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of cruelty, and what didn't match his expression was his more gentle movements.Interlock the fingers of the two.The other hand was placed on his face.Now Zhong Yun's face is indeed not very good-looking, and the darker bronze color does not suit him.He can play it perfectly.Obviously, Zhong Yun is not an incompetent person.
Or, in the last life, he didn't see through him.Or, is he not him at all?Different life experiences will eventually have different results.But he has always looked at this person with the eyes of his previous life.
The doctor of the Devil's Cult rushed over quickly, but seeing the leader like this, they didn't know if they were going to get close.
Yan Long finally stood up mercifully, giving them a place to feel their pulse.After taking the pulse of several agents in turn, their complexions were a little pale. Even at the beginning of the poisoning, they were not confident that they could develop such a vicious poison.
Yan Long seemed to have remembered something, untied the belt of Shang Xiuyun's coat, and took out the paper with the name of the medicine written all over it.However, seeing that delicate collarbone and fair skin by accident made his movements involuntarily pause.Afterwards, she wrapped her tightly in a quilt before turning around.
Although these agents can't develop antidote, but the antidote is in front of you, and it's very easy to identify it.After a dose of antidote, the person who had some convulsions in his body obviously eased down, which made those doctors who were worried about his nickname breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Zhong Yun had improved, Yan Long waved his hands to let the doctors go.From the table, he took Zhong Yun's bundle from the inn, and found the bamboo potion he had seen from inside.Stained a little with a white handkerchief, carefully wiped off the bronze color, revealing the cheeks without any disguise.Wipe it again with clean water to make sure there is nothing missing, and then stop.
Keeping the handkerchief aside, he reached out and took off the coat on Zhong Yun's body, leaving only a layer of comfortable inner clothing.And he himself took off his coat and lay beside Zhong Yun.
Stretching out his hand, he held him firmly in his arms.After staring at his face for a long time, he sighed and closed his eyes.Under the eyes, the dark circles under the eyes are particularly obvious.However, he has always been indifferent and majestic, few people dare to look directly at his face.Let alone discovering his exhaustion?
