Ling'er went back to the inn to pick up his luggage and bamboo hat, planning to leave the city through the east gate and hit the road as originally planned.
After getting on the pony, Linger recalled the thrilling experience just now. White smoke rose up, and she thought it was someone from the Hundred Poison God Cult who wanted to capture her with the poisonous smoke. When she was about to hold her breath, she heard the enemy's voice, and then she thought she could take advantage of the chaos to escape. She felt that she was lucky to be able to escape smoothly this time, and maybe she had to thank the masked man. If that man knew that her words led to such a result, I wonder if he would bite off his tongue with regret. Thinking of that man With a look in his eyes, Ling'er hurriedly covered his chest, his heartbeat was so fast. It turned out that he was still nervous about the dangerous situation just now.
"But where did the white smoke come from? Who wants to help?" Can you escape by yourself?" Ling'er frowned and thought, and then left the city gate. She looked around and saw that there were few people nearby, except for a group of people at the intersection who were watching something.
"What are they doing?" Curiosity made Ling'er put aside the unsolved mystery for the time being, jumped off the horse, and led the horse towards them.
On closer inspection, I realized that everyone was watching the two gambling.
The dealer waved the container with the dice to attract everyone's attention.
The dealer opened the lid of the vessel and said dejectedly, "The player wins"
"Won again" the man squatting in front of the dealer shouted excitedly.
There was some commotion among the people around. One of them with a beard couldn't help but start to take out his wallet. Others saw that he had taken action and touched their own wallets hesitantly.
Seeing that everyone was tempted, the corner of the banker's mouth raised slightly.
At this time Ling'er stood up and said, "How can anyone win all the time?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock after hearing this.
The bearded man said, "How can it be impossible that this brother has been winning just now and has already made a lot of money?"
"Can't you see that they are a team? "Is that so?" Ling'er frowned, she had not seen such little tricks along the way.
The "group of people" thought for a while and seemed to understand.
"You little girl, don't talk nonsense without real evidence and block people's way of making money," the bearded man shouted loudly.
"Are you also in the same group?" Ling'er asked him.
"I'm not." Luo Xi Hu hurriedly clarified, then walked aside and stopped talking.
"If you don't believe me, you can check the dealer's dice, there must be something weird," Ling'er said with certainty.
Hearing this, the dealer couldn't really let someone check the dice. He packed up his things, stood up and said, "This business can't be done. We don't trust each other, so why bet?" After that, he walked away. go.
When everyone saw that the banker had left, they picked up their bags and hurried away.
Only the bearded man walked to the inn at the city gate and sat down.
Ling'er looked at the dispersing crowd with satisfaction, it was time for her to hit the road.
“Why is this road sign so blurry?” Ling’er looked at the intersection.The signpost said melancholy. Originally she had to leave the city through the South City Gate, but in order to avoid the Hundred Poison God Cult, she went around to the East City Gate. There were actually several official roads outside the East City Gate, and the street signs were unclear. It seemed that she could only ask others for directions. She looked back at the bearded man and hurried forward to ask for directions.
The "Luoyang" bearded man didn't really want to talk to Ling'er, but he still pointed out a way for her.
Ling'er thanked him, then happily mounted his pony and set off towards Luoyang.
The Poison King Hall is located in the south of Jinyang City and is dedicated to the Poison King of the Hundred Poison Cult.
The main hall is splendid. In front of the hall stands the golden statue of the Poison King. He has a strong body but a ferocious face. His left hand hangs down and his right hand holds up a bottle with a big belly and a small neck. On both sides of the Poison King statue are two guardian statues. They are smaller in stature, but they have halberds and angry eyes, and they are also very scary. Dozens of followers of the Hundred Poison God Sect were kneeling neatly on both sides of the hall. They were wearing blue-green religious uniforms and chanting the incantation in a low voice: "Invincible to all poisons, the only one in the world; if one poison flourishes, all poisons will emerge; At the root of all things, hundreds of poisonous thoughts are born; hundreds of poisons are born and penetrate my divine religion." The upper part of the main hall was filled with smoke, and the air was filled with a thick scent of sandalwood.
In the main hall, an old man of half a century greeted three masked men in black costumes who were walking into the main hall.
"I would like to pay my respects to Master Cui." The three of them bowed their hands and saluted.
This old man is Cui Bulao, the left master of the Hundred Poison God Sect.
Cui Bulao said, "There are still more than twenty days before the festival. I specially invited three venerables to come over because I have several tasks to explain. You also know that human sacrifice will not be used in this festival, right? The leader has decided Replace it with the Divine Heart Pill."
"Why did Master Cui explain the Divine Heart Pill now? It takes ninety-nine and eighty-one human hearts to refine the Divine Heart Pill for seven days and seven nights. This time is too long. It’s urgent,” said one of the women in black attire, her voice very coquettish.
"The leader is not worried that he will be troubled by the Yixing Sect if he gives the explanation too early." Cui Bulao said.
"What does Master Cui mean by this? Is it possible that there is a master of Yixingmen among us?" the woman said displeasedly.
"Lord, the leader didn't mean that. Last year's ceremony was disrupted by Yixingmen, and our sect suffered heavy losses. The leader also wanted to be cautious." Cui Bulao explained hurriedly.
"It's easy to make an elixir, but it takes a lot of trouble to prepare eighty-one hearts at once," the woman complained.
"Can this still be difficult for all the venerable venerables with great supernatural powers?" Cui Bulao said with a smile, "Tianzun, I will leave this matter to you."
" I obey." A tall masked man bowed and responded.
"As for the construction of the altar, it is better for Di Zun to continue completing it," Cui Bulao continued.
"I obey," the woman said reluctantly.
"What about me?" asked another man, his voice sounded a bit strange.
"Human Zun, just go to Tianshan Mountain to get some snow lotus flowers." After Cui Bulao finished speaking, he walked quickly without waiting for his answer.Walked out of the Poison King Palace.
These three masked men in black costumes are the three guardians of Heaven, Earth and Man of the Hundred Poison God Sect. Among them, the tall one is the Protector of Heaven, known as the "Hundred Poisonous Hands"; the woman is the Protector of the Earth, known as the "Poisonous Beauty"; the other is the Protector of the Earth, known as the "Hundred Poisonous Heart". The three of them are all very powerful in martial arts and have a very high status in the Hundred Poisons Cult, only under the leader and the two masters of the left and right.
"It's all because Yixingmen blew up our altar last year. You two don't know how tiring it is to build the altar. Now that all the coolies have gone away, it's really difficult to handle." Di Zunren He kept complaining.
Hearing this, the corners of Tianzun’s mouth twitched secretly under his mask. He thought of that brave little girl in the forest, who actually came to the Hundred Poison God Sect to save people single-handedly, and when she was besieged, not only was she not afraid , and dared to accuse the enemy of his crimes justly. Simple in mind but bold and fearless, the beautiful face and the sweet voice like an oriole emerging from the valley lingered in his heart for a long time.
Di Zun said angrily, "I don't know where the stinky girl came from. How dare you ruin my good deeds? If I catch you"
Tian Zun hurriedly comforted her, "Fortunately The foundation of the altar has been built, and no more manpower is needed for the upper construction." His voice was still low and hoarse, but with a hint of gentleness.
"What Tian means is that there is no need to catch more coolies and come back," Di Zun asked tentatively.
"Wouldn't it be asking for trouble if we arrest people again?" Tianzun said with a smile.
Dizun nodded.
Hunzun also came and complained, "Time is so tight, I have to rush to Tianshan Mountain, and I won't be able to breathe again this time." His voice was a little thin, and it was difficult to distinguish between male and female.
"Do you think it is necessary to be so afraid of Yixingmen? You even canceled the traditional human sacrifice ceremony." Di Zun said puzzledly.
"Does the beauty want to come back next year to rebuild the altar?" Tianzun asked her with a smile.
Di Zun said angrily, "Why don't you hurry up and set off to Yangquan to make alchemy? Time is running out."
"The mountain man has his own clever plan." Tian Zun smiled mysteriously.
"Yes, God is always omnipotent." Earth Lord smiled ambiguously.
Renzun's somewhat feminine voice sounded, "By the way, how are you guys checking the strange poisons in the world? The boss is urging me again."
"How can it be so easy to find out the whereabouts and lose them all?" After so many years, it was lost without being able to find out, and the information was blocked from the outside world. Now that someone has specified that it will be used as a token of alliance, isn't this causing trouble for yourself?" Di Zun complained.
"The World's Wonderful Poison Grand View has recorded the solutions to a large number of my teaching's unique poisons. The lost news will definitely cause fluctuations in the martial arts world and shake the status of our teaching in the martial arts world." Tianzun said.
"In my opinion, losing it is not a big deal. We haven't been in peace for so many years," Di Zun said.
Tianzun stood aside and raised his eyebrows, smiling lightly without saying a word.
"Oh my God, how do you start this? Just say something," Di Zun couldn't help but urged in a sweet voice when he saw that he looked like he was doing nothing.
"Didn't I say it last time? That is the only way now." Tianzun had no choice but to speak.
"There were quite a few sects that had grievances with us back then, and it would be quite troublesome to check them one by one." Ren Zun said.
"That happened twenty years ago. How old were we at that time? How much did we know about what happened back then? It's really embarrassing for us to investigate." Di Zun began to complain again.
Tianzun couldn't help but chuckle.
Ren Zun said, "Twenty years ago, the Snowflake Sect provoked us many times. Is it possible that the world's strangest poisons are with them?"
"Then let's start the investigation from the Snowflake Sect. "Okay," Di Zun said, she likes to pick the weakest persimmons.
Hearing this, Tianzun narrowed his eyes imperceptibly.
