Zen Strange Records

Chapter 384 The Dead Caravan

After bidding farewell to Chen Xiangyi, Ye Xiaosan and the others continued their journey, but after experiencing the previous farce, their journey was not as comfortable as before, and they had to bid farewell to the stable carriage and walk on foot.

Ye Xiaosan is now wearing a moon-white monk's robe, with a cage on his back, and on his left wrist, three strings of rosary beads of different shapes are vividly shining under the sunlight. Combined with his shiny bald head, he has the posture of an ascetic monk , but in terms of cooperation, the three beauties who followed him and competed for beauty seemed a little tired.

"Tsk, it seems like there's still a long way to go." Tired from walking, Ye Xiaosan stopped temporarily and looked at the endless yellow sand in the distance, feeling a little frustrated.

Similarly, the three girls were also exhausted from running around, with a look of reluctance on their faces.

Hearing Ye Xiaosan's words, Wu Qingyan pursed her lips, and said dissatisfiedly: "Is there any way, if a monk named Mingyu didn't kill the horse, why should we be so tired."

Ye Xiaosan hesitated when he heard the words, this Mingyu is not that Mingyu, how to say it is like killing a horse by himself, it's really unlucky, next time I see that Xibei guy, I will definitely make him regret his impostor: " Let’s not talk about this, has any of you been to this area? Is there a place to rest nearby?”

Hearing this, the three girls looked at each other in dismay and shrugged their shoulders. They might have been to this kind of place, but Ye Xiaosan's purpose was not to ask them, but to ask those few people in his mind. They may have some impressions of the few people at the top of the entire martial arts world.

However, the facts made Ye Xiaosan a little discouraged. In response to his question, Xiaodie needless to say that being able to remember her name was considered a hard work of hers. Chang'er was an ascetic through and through and had never left the Central Plains for half his life. Asela was from Western Region, but in addition to his superb concealed weapon skills and deception, this guy also has a jaw-dropping instinct of being a roadie. After asking around, Chu Fanyin had some impressions of this.

But regarding this, Chu Fanyin only said coldly: "I won't tell you!"

There is no mistake!Ye Xiaosan looked up to the sky and was speechless, none of the guys with this head are useful!

"Why are you feeling so sad out there alone!" Just when Ye Xiaosan was secretly feeling sad, Su Ying gave him a strange look.

"It's nothing, I just feel that life is not easy." As he said that, Ye Xiaosan patted his cheek to cheer himself up. At this moment, something seemed to flash past in his peripheral vision. Ye Xiaosan was slightly startled, and then he turned in that direction. He looked and said, "Look, is there anyone there?"

The women heard the sound and looked, as expected, there was a large team walking a few hundred meters away from them, the speed of the other party was very slow, and with the yellow sand all over the sky, from a distance, it was even worse than ants. Not much, if Ye Xiaosan hadn't noticed it with sharp eyes, I'm afraid several people would have missed it.

"Let's go over and have a look. Since there is a team of this size, there must be a city or settlement nearby!" After seeing the pedestrians, Wu Qingyue also regained her spirits. Ye Xiaosan couldn't replace the phoenix Gu in her body at all. After a few days, the girl was quite weak, and she desperately wanted to find a place to rest. The sudden appearance of this team was simply a godsend.

A group of four people are all people with extraordinary skills, but after a while, they have already caught up with this team, but they got closer, and Ye Xiaosan and the others discovered the unusualness.

Judging from the clothing and luggage, this group of about 40 people should be a caravan from the Central Plains. However, the expressions on everyone's faces were gloomy, and it seemed that they were not going to die soon. The entire group walked silently with their heads down, and they were all dead. He was so angry that he didn't even notice the arrival of Ye Xiaosan and others.

"It smells like bugs." Wu Qingyue frowned, approached Ye Xiaosan, and said something in a low voice. Ye Xiaosan's expression was serious, and naturally he would not doubt the girl's words, but this place is already not far from the Central Plains. , how could there be Gu worms?
With doubts in his heart, Ye Xiaosan stepped forward quickly, blocked the caravan's route, and then clasped his hands together: "Everyone, the poor monk has something to ask. I wonder if the leader of the caravan is here?"

Suddenly, they were blocked by a monk. A commotion broke out in the caravan, and then they stopped. Not long after, a man in his thirties with a beard came out of the caravan and looked at it suspiciously. Fanye Xiaosan said in a hoarse voice: "I am the leader of this caravan, Zhang Zhuo from Guixi Trading Company. I wonder if you have any advice?"

As he said that, he glanced at the three women not far away from the corner of his eye, obviously doubting the identity of the monk Ye Xiaosan.

Regardless of his suspicions, Ye Xiaosan clasped his fists and made a secular ceremony: "It turns out that it is Zhang benefactor, please be polite. The poor monk and his party have something to go to Kunlun, but unfortunately they don't know the way, lost in the wilderness, and don't know where to go. There's a place to stay."

It turned out that he was asking for directions, Zhang Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief, and his expression softened: "If you were asking for directions, it would be a coincidence, I just came here from the city of Seabuckthorn in the north, Master, as long as you continue to go north along this road, you won't get out of here." We can see each other in half a day, but..." Halfway through speaking, Zhang Zhuo changed his subject, and his voice couldn't help lowering his voice. Ye Xiaosan could see clearly that when Seabuckthorn City was mentioned, everyone in the caravan showed terrifying expressions. , obviously there is something else hidden.

Ye Xiaosan then smiled slightly: "But what? I see that you all have worried faces, as if you have something to hide. A poor monk is not talented, but if he still has some skills, he may be able to relieve your worries."

"Master, you were joking." Zhang Zhuo obviously didn't think that the young Ye Xiaosan had any abilities, so he laughed noncommittal immediately, but he still slowly explained the reason: "Master, you have come here by accident, and this Western Region is not a good place now." On the other hand, the Mongolian soldiers looted everywhere, and the martial arts in the Western Regions experienced frequent changes, and there were even strong men from the Central Plains stirring up wind and rain. A few days ago, a self-proclaimed leader of a religion came to this seabuckthorn city Called Hu Zuotian, he made a good poisoning skill, and within half a day, everyone in the entire Seabuckthorn City fell into his Gu technique, if the master has nothing important to do, you should turn around."

Hu Zuotian actually came to the Western Regions!Ye Xiaosan was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that he would get such important information through an unintentional act. This would explain why these people were bewitched. However, since they were bewitched, why not take good care of it? Staying in Seabuckthorn City to find a way out, but leaving?
"The donor doesn't know something. The poor monk and his companions were lucky enough to learn one or two poisons. The poor monk observed that the donors seemed to be poisoned. I don't know where they came from?" Ye Xiaosan did not intend to let this group of people who were about to die just like that. He was waiting for death, so he planned to rescue him and find out about Hu Zuotian.

When the group of people heard that Ye Xiaosan knew Gu skills, they were really happy, Zhang Zhuo was also much more enthusiastic than before, and immediately clasped his fists and said: "It's true that people can't be judged by appearances, but I don't know if the master can detoxify us from the poison? "

As he said that, Zhang Zhuo narrated what happened in Seabuckthorn City. It turned out that this Seabuckthorn City was originally a hub between east and west, and an important city connecting the Western Regions with the north. Just two days ago, a guy who claimed to be the leader of Tianxin Sect, Hu Zuotian, suddenly appeared in Seabuckthorn City with a group of subordinates. As soon as he met him, Hu Zuotian ordered his subordinates to spread Gu worms in the city wildly, and threatened that if within seven days, there would be no Gu worms. People found a monk named Mingyu for him, and they wanted the whole city to be buried with him.And Zhang Zhuo's caravan, after repeated pleas to no avail, thought that the left and right were dead, so it was better to rush back to their hometown before death, and the fallen leaves returned to their roots.

Only then did Ye Xiaosan understand, no wonder this group of people looked ashamed, they thought they were bound to die, and at the same time, they were also secretly glad that they didn't give out their dharma name just now, it seems that the name Mingyu was used for a short time. It's okay, let's use Ye Xiaosan's real name.

After understanding the cause and effect, Ye Xiaosan immediately said something and turned around to find the three women. Although the three women were a little far away, the conversation between the two did not deliberately lower the volume, so the three of them could hear clearly. Ye Xiaosan As soon as he turned around, he realized that Wu Qingyan's complexion was not very good-looking. He also knew that he had been living in the shadow of Hu Zuotian for a long time, so he was more or less afraid of him.

When Ye Xiaosan got close, Su Ying teased first: "It seems that Hu Zuotian is really persistent with you, how about it? Shall I change into a women's dress to seduce him? Maybe he will let you go if he is tempted. "

Ye Xiaosan rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and shrugged his shoulders angrily: "I'm afraid that my women's clothing will be ashamed, and then Master Hu will be even more persistent."

"Okay, stop messing around. What are your plans?" Wu Qingyan, who was worried, interrupted the banter between the two and turned to Ye Xiaosan.

"What can I do? Soldiers come to cover the water and soil, you two wait first, Qingyue, come with me, and see what kind of Gu insects those people have been infected by."

Needless to say, Wu Qingyue had already taken action. She saw the girl pass Ye Xiaosan and came to the front of the caravan. A pair of beautiful eyes rolled over everyone's faces. Then she sniffed her nose and frowned. : "It really looks like a Gu worm used by a person with no taste like Hu Zuotian."

"You already know?" Ye Xiaosan was overwhelmed with surprise, he didn't expect Wu Qingyue's Gu technique to be so good, and he saw it in a few clicks.

"Of course, who do you think I am?" Wu Qingyue pinched her waist with both hands proudly, but then she drooped her eyelids in frustration: "This kind of Gu cannot be called a Gu. At best, it is just a Gu that failed to be refined. The poison is called Die Die Powder, and those who are poisoned will have their internal organs deteriorate day by day until they die of heart failure on the seventh day. The process is extremely painful."

"Since that's the case, it's not too late. Let's detoxify them quickly." Thinking of Hu Zuotian using such a vicious thing on the whole city, Ye Xiaosan couldn't sit still for a while, but just as soon as he finished speaking, he He was stopped by Wu Qingyue.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet." Wu Qingyue said, pointing to Zhang Zhuo who was watching him and others: "I can't cure this poison."

"Huh?" Ye Xiaosan was dumbfounded. In his opinion, as a saint of the Baiman Sect, Wu Qingyue, among other things, should be the best in the martial arts in the art of poisoning, even if she only practices incomplete Baiman Jing, after analyzing it, I can’t explain it?

"What kind of expression do you have? I am also very helpless." Wu Qingyue glanced at Ye Xiaosan dissatisfied: "I have already said that this thing is a product of failure, and the reason for failure is that it is too incomprehensible. It is also difficult for a refiner to prepare an antidote, such an uncontrollable thing, normal people will not be able to use it, so how can we talk about antidote."

"You mean?" Ye Xiaosan's heart sank, as smart as him, he naturally understood the subtext of the girl's mouth.

"That's right, Hu Zuotian never thought of detoxifying them. There is no need to guess. With Hu Zuotian's Gu skills, it is absolutely impossible to come up with an antidote." Wu Qingyue spread her hands, with a helpless expression.

"Beast, that scum, what the hell is he taking human life for!" Ye Xiaosan slapped his back hard, gritted his teeth, wishing he could rush to Seabuckthorn City immediately and end up with that guy.

Xu Shi was startled by their voices, the caravan headed by Zhang Zhuo showed uneasy expressions, and looked in Ye Xiaosan's direction expectantly.

While Ye Xiaosan was angry, he was also a little embarrassed. He acted like a trivial matter just now, but now he has the face to explain the truth to the other party.

Just when Ye Xiaosan was in a dilemma, Wu Qingyue suddenly smiled mischievously and pointed at him: "Although I can't help it, you can."

"I?"

"That's right, conventional means can't save them, but if it's you, it's fine. Don't forget, your blood is hard to come by." Wu Qingyue pointed, and put her finger on Ye Xiaosan's chest ambiguously. Drawing a circle, the position she was standing was just blocked by Ye Xiaosan's figure, unexpectedly being seen by the other two women.

But Ye Xiaosan was in a state of confusion at the moment, completely ignoring her provocative posture, but with a look of embarrassment, looking at his thin and thin body, with this body, even if the blood is drained, it is not enough for several people to drink. Well, the people who were poisoned were from a whole city, even if it was diluted with water, it would be enough to squeeze themselves dry.

"Hey, this little girl is really not good at learning, I'm afraid she hasn't learned half of the Hundred Man Classics." Just when Ye Xiaosan was worried, Chu Fanyin's disdainful voice suddenly came from his mind.

Ye Xiaosan was taken aback. Hearing what she said, things seem to be turning around?Only then did he remember that he seemed to have such a great master in his head who was proficient in the original Hundred Man scriptures.

Sure enough, right after that, Chu Fanyin said: "Naturally, although I don't think much of heretics, I have to say that the Hundred Man Sutra is the most amazing book of heretics, even if it is called to contain the world's poison However, this kind of pediatric poison is naturally easy to do, but as the girl said, some of your blood is still needed as an introduction, if you agree to my request, I don't mind helping you."

"any request?"
