Chapter 40 Chapter 40
There was a market-like place in the direction Shen Yu went. There were people selling things everywhere, so he looked for Shen Yu while wandering around the stalls aimlessly.
While walking around, Qin Moyu discovered that there was a stall in the front right that was different from the others. There were not so many fancy things on the stall, only a kind of spiritual grass that he didn't recognize.
There was no one in this stall, but the stalls next to him were crowded with people. The stall owner was wearing a bamboo hat, but he was sitting cross-legged on the ground leisurely, as if he was not worried at all about not being able to sell his goods.
So Qin Moyu walked to the stall naturally, looked down at the spiritual grass and asked, "What is this?"
"Poisonous weeds." The stall owner's answer was so simple that it was unbelievable.
"No more?" Qin Moyu glanced at the stall owner next door who was about to make his stuff look like a fairy.
"No." The stall owner shrugged and raised his head. He couldn't see his face clearly through the curtain, but Qin Moyu could feel that he was smiling, "You will need it."
"How to say……"
"You have enemies." The stall owner chuckled, and after analyzing it, he said clearly, "I know it from the time you came here. You always stop at some stalls unconsciously. Let me take a look. Some sell daggers and some sell poison. There are also those who sell themselves to death together with the enemy——so you will need my things.”
Qin Moyu didn't expect that his whereabouts would be watched all the time. The feeling of being spied on made him feel uncomfortable all over.
"I have enemies, but I don't need these things." Qin Moyu said coldly and was about to turn around and leave.
However, the stall owner's words made Qin Moyu stop.
"I guess you want to inquire about Mo Yuan."
Qin Moyu turned around suddenly and said word by word: "What do you know?"
"I know everything."
The stall owner patted the dust off his body and smiled.
——The fish took the bait.
……………
The Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.
Shen Sheng was reviewing the papers in the imperial study room. Ever since General Qi sent troops and left, the number of papers had increased day by day. It used to be just one or two piles, but now it has doubled. He has not slept a wink all day and night.
After finally reading the excerpts from the front line, Shen Sheng was about to take a rest when he heard the attendant coming to report to Dr. He.
Thinking of Shen Mo's instructions, Shen Sheng rubbed his temples helplessly and waved away the attendant before letting Dr. He in.
"Your Majesty." Dr. He came in and bowed first. He was a medical practitioner in his early thirties. Although he was young, he had excellent medical skills. His ancestors had served the Nanzhou royal family for generations. He was an iron-clad imperial sect. No need to Worried about the problem of bad words, Shen Sheng asked him to take charge of this matter.
"Is he awake?" Shen Sheng asked directly without talking to him.
Dr. He shook his head: "The injury was too serious... He is still in a coma, but at least he saved his life."
"Just save your life." Shen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. When he first saw the man, his pulse was so weak that he could barely feel it. Unexpectedly, he survived. It should be said that he was indeed called the first person to overcome the tribulation. Is Xuanjing a real person? This vitality is really surprising.
But Shen Sheng couldn't help but feel heartache when he thought of the rare treasures he had spent to cure Xuanjing Zhenren.
But what could he say? Who said it was the ancestor who gave the order to save people at all costs?
Tsk, I will definitely blackmail Guanlan Zong severely when I get the chance in the future.
Shen Sheng was making a lot of calculations in his mind, but when he saw that Doctor He was hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to say something but dared not, he asked doubtfully, "Is there anything else, Aiqing?"
"There is something... but..." Dr. He's face was full of confusion.
"Just say what you have to say, don't worry about him." Shen Sheng waved his hand.
"Yes." Imperial Physician He took a deep breath and organized his words before speaking, "Because the lord was injured too seriously, Your Majesty allowed us to open the imperial treasury to get the elixir. The emperor's condition was stable and the ministers took the opportunity to take stock of the miraculous medicine." I found out that a rare poisonous weed was missing. I asked everyone in the hospital and they all said that they had not taken it away..."
"Poisonous weed? What poisonous weed? Why is there poisonous weed in the imperial treasury?" Shen Sheng frowned.
"It's Xiyan." Dr. He smiled bitterly, "This is a very magical poisonous weed. Apply its poisonous juice to knives and daggers. It can poison people by just piercing their skin, but the poisoned person is very likely to be poisoned." Except for decapitation in two hours, there will never be death. Once the twelve hours have passed, there is no way to recover. This medicine is used as a last resort to save life. "
Although Xiyan is a poisonous weed with no cure, it is still very precious due to its unique characteristics and rarity. Doctor He was very afraid of being accused of stealing treasures, so he hurriedly came to report it.
"...I know, I will send someone to check." Shen Sheng suddenly remembered a person, and he waved his hand to ask the imperial doctor to retreat.
After the people left, he called someone over again. After asking, he learned that someone had indeed gone to the imperial treasury in the past two days.
And that person is related to Shen Mo.
…
Shen Yebai waited at the tea stall for a long time. When Shen Yu came back and still didn't see Qin Moyu, he asked Shen Yu and said he didn't see Qin Moyu, so he just picked up the knife and went to find someone.
As soon as he walked out, he saw Qin Moyu coming back.
"Are you leaving?" When Qin Moyu saw Shen Yebai holding up the knife, he thought he had rested and was about to leave.
Seeing that he was fine, Shen Yebai nodded calmly.
Zuo Shu and Shen Yu naturally had no objection to setting off, but Zuo Shu glanced at the direction Qin Moyu came from before leaving.
A bamboo hat flashed past at the street corner.
The three of them walked for several days before reaching Hecun.
Upon entering Hecun, it was obvious that something was wrong with this village.
It's so quiet.
There was not a soul in the village, not even the crowing of cocks and the chirping of insects. It was as quiet as a dead village.
"Are you leaving?" Shen Yu opened a door casually, but there was no one inside.
Shen Yebai looked around warily, feeling uneasy in his heart.
"That's not right." Zuo Shu also felt it. She narrowed her eyes, her expression became serious, and subconsciously protected Shen Yu, "There is someone here."
Qin Moyu and she both practiced magic, so they were particularly sensitive to changes in the spiritual energy around them. Therefore, when the withered and yellow hands appeared under their feet, he and Zuo Shu were the first to react.
"There's something underground!" Qin Moyu shouted, dodging the hands under Shen Yebai's cover.
At the same time, Zuo Shu also flew up to the roof with Shen Yu. She looked at the things emerging from the ground and exclaimed: "Corpse?"
What I saw emerging from the ground were all kinds of people with mutilated faces, stiff bodies and cloudy eyes. They were old and young, with sharp teeth and sharp mouths, and they all exuded a strong aura of death.
Zombies are a kind of "magic weapon" that is made of living people and refined using special techniques. They are invulnerable and tireless. Even the low-end Zombies can make people's scalp numb as long as they are in large enough quantities, because the production method is extremely cruel. Any monk who has become a corpse master will be jointly annihilated. Now that he appears here, it is obvious that Onizuka did it.
Facing the zombies, standing on the roof is not an absolutely safe place. Although they can't jump up, they can keep hitting the house. The dense zombies below are so dense that it makes people's scalp numb. You can fully imagine how tragic they will be if they fall to the ground. s attack.
"Crazy!" Zuo Shu saw that there were half-clothed children among the zombies. She, who had always been calm, couldn't help but get angry. This was like training an entire village to become zombies. Such unscrupulous means, and What's the difference between animals? !
"It's their honor to be used by Onizuka." The old man came out of the corner with a sneer.
"So arrogant... Aren't you afraid that the matter will be exposed and lead to encirclement and suppression from all sides!" Zuo Shu shouted angrily.
"As long as you die, no one will know." The old man snorted. He turned slightly and another person came out.
"Yeah, dead people can't talk." The person who came was dressed in brocade clothes and jade robes, and he looked very familiar.
Qin Moyu stared straight at the person who appeared next to the old man, and almost spit out two words from between his teeth: "Fen Gong."
Although he told himself to calm down, Qin Moyu almost lost his mind when he saw his enemy. If Shen Yebai hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed down.
"Hey, there are still people who know me." Fen Gong laughed and said in a contemptuous tone, "I'm afraid he's not here to seek revenge or death."
"It's just a pity. The number of people I killed was not one thousand but eight hundred. I wonder if the one who died in my hands was your wife or your father? Or your poor master?"
Master.
These two words deeply hurt Qin Moyu. The ruined yard flashed through his mind, and the suffocating grief swept up again, creating even more turbulent anger behind the stormy waves crashing on the shore.
But when his anger reached the extreme, Qin Moyu calmed down.
He turned to look at Shen Yebai and said softly, "I will avenge Master, with my own hands."
"I know." Chen Yebai's heart tightened. He took a deep look at Qin Moyu and said in a deep voice, "I said that I will fulfill all your wishes. If you want to take revenge with your own hands, I will never let you Others bother you."
——Including myself.
Shen Yebai had a thousand reasons not to want Qin Moyu to be in danger, and a thousand ways to help Qin Moyu get revenge, but he knew that Qin Moyu only had one wish - to take revenge with his own hands.
This one wish was enough to make him give up all his persistence.
Qin Moyu's eyes were slightly sour, he turned away and jumped down without hesitation.
He didn't think about the corpse chiefs, nor the old man. He only had Fen Gong in his eyes.
Because he knew that there was Shen Yebai behind him.
Many of the best memories in the world are about the old Taoist priest, but the courage to face the future was given to him by the old Taoist priest and Shen Yebai.
He is like a kite floating in the sky, relying on them to connect to the ground and even the world.
The moment Qin Moyu went down, Shen Yebai also jumped down, but this time he was no longer holding a knife, but his most comfortable long sword.
The powerful sword energy condensed at the tip of the sword, and the devastating impact swept away the corpse leader in front of Qin Moyu. The corpse leader closest to the sword energy was even annihilated in an instant, just like Moses parting the sea, clearing a path for Qin Moyu.
Qin Moyu didn't even look back, and naturally he didn't know how Shen Yebai, standing surrounded by corpses after he left, became his iron wall.
He stood there with one man and one sword, as if he were thousands of troops.
