Star Trace Gate

Chapter 406: Respective Identities

At the beginning of the Chou hour, the family compound of the Bulao Villa was already deserted.

In an empty room, Ren Ye looked at Bai Hua Xian and said urgently, "Quick, take off your clothes so I can take a closer look."

"?"

The Flower Fairy stared with her bright eyes, as if saying, are you seriously ill?

"We are all children of the underworld. How can my sister have such a dirty heart?" Ren Ye immediately explained: "I just want to see what poison you have been poisoned by."

Upon hearing this, the Flower Fairy did not hesitate and immediately rolled up her sleeves, revealing her lotus-like arms.

Ren Ye looked carefully and saw that three blood-red spots had appeared on the wrist of his left arm, with blood beads faintly emitting, and their shape looked like a mark.

He frowned and muttered, "This... this toxin's characteristics look very unfamiliar. Wait a minute."

After saying that, he immediately called out the Thousand Poisons List and quickly started searching through it.

After a while, he roughly flipped through the Thousand Poisons List and shook his head, saying, "There is no record of this kind of poison here... This is a bit troublesome."

"Although I don't practice witchcraft, I grew up in Southern Xinjiang and have seen many strange poisons." Baihua Fairy replied softly, "The mechanism and symptoms of this poison are obviously not from Southern Xinjiang."

"Ah."

After thinking for a while, Ren Ye immediately called out the water of life: "Drink two drops and see if it works."

Baihuaxian didn't hesitate either. She just turned her head back, opened the bottle stopper, and dripped two drops into her mouth.

Ren waited for a while, then asked again, "Any reaction?"

"My body feels relaxed and my fatigue is gone. Even my external injuries have healed visibly...!" Baihuaxian felt it carefully and shook her head slowly: "But it has no effect on this poison."

Ren Ye scratched his head and suddenly an idea came to him: "Hey, wait a minute, I have something else that may be able to detoxify."

As he spoke, a drop of bloody red blood flowed out from between his eyebrows.

The blood drops floated in the air, emitting a faint fluorescence, which looked magical.

When the Flower Fairy saw this divine object, she instantly revealed a rare innocent look: "This is... the blood of the Heavenly Sovereign?! ​​Where did you get it?"

"It gave it to me on its own initiative." Ren Ye replied truthfully.

"Boasting!" Baihua Fairy didn't believe it at all: "The Earth Dragon and the Sky Dragon are arrogant by nature. They are the supreme beasts. How could they take the initiative to give blood to a second-rate person like you."

"Believe it or not." Ren didn't explain much: "This Thousand Poisons Chart says that the blood of the Heavenly Sovereign can restrain all poisons. I will use my mind to separate a trace of blood mist for you, and see if it can detoxify you. If it can, you should force the blood mist out immediately, and don't absorb it all. Let the poison fly in your body for a while..."

"Okay." The Flower Fairy nodded slightly.

"Ong!"

Ren also used his mind to activate that drop of divine blood, causing it to create a wisp of blood mist.

"brush!"

The blood mist dissipated like smoke and slowly disappeared into the brows of the Flower Fairy.

She immediately closed her eyes and used her consciousness to perceive carefully.

After a while, Baihuaxian said in surprise: "It has a slight effect and can suppress the poison, but it is not enough."

After that, she rolled up her sleeves again, revealing her wrists: "Look, the three blood spots have become dimmer, but there is no sign of disappearing."

"how to say?"

"The Lord of Heaven is the poison king among all beasts, and his blood can naturally purify all poisons. However, the toxins in my body must be carefully prepared and need to be restrained with corresponding solutions. If I want to use the Lord of Heaven's blood to forcibly remove the toxins in my body, I must have enough divine blood." Baihua Fairy explained softly: "One drop is not enough."

"So troublesome?" Ren Ye frowned.

"Since he chose to attack in the last scene, he must have made some preparations." Baihuaxian said calmly, "At this moment, everyone's probing has ended, and the relationship between you and me has probably been guessed. He targeted me just to make you lose a helper in the final battle. So, although the effect of this poison is still unknown, it is probably not so easy to cure, otherwise... he would be too stupid."

Ren Ye was silent.

"For the last scene, all six people must survive to trigger the hidden story." Baihuaxian looked at Ren Ye and said, "So, this poison should not threaten my life. When I leave the sect, if there is divine blood, that would be the best; if not, I will go back to find my master. He has been studying poison theory and witchcraft all his life, so this should not be difficult for him."

"Well, I'll try my best to get a few more drops of blood." Ren nodded slowly.

After a moment of silence, Baihuaxian said softly: "Everything has a price. The most important thing is whether it is worth it..."

"If I were there, I would never agree to it."

"......!" Baihuaxian was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "You are indeed a second-rate person. You don't look like a person who plays power games at all, let alone a prince. Qingliang Mansion is located between two countries. If you act too gently..."

Ren also smiled slightly, and replied in a self-deprecating and flattering tone: "If it is just a prince, he can achieve his goal by conspiracy, trickery and political tactics; but if it is the emperor, if he wants to climb the ladder to heaven and achieve a great cause, he must do things openly and honestly, and be willing to let a group of brave generals follow him to death, so that he can climb the ladder and see the scenery above the clouds. Those who calculate everywhere and take every step cautiously are just small-minded."

Baihuaxian never expected that this second-rate guy had such a big vision.

At least he said it in a big way, but as for whether he was trying to blackmail me and establish a strong character, it’s hard to say...

……

It was pitch black inside the family compound.

The relatives of the thirteen fierce generals who gathered here, as well as a small number of guards responsible for escorting them, all dared not light torches or hold any lighting objects for fear of attracting other people's attention.

In a dark corner.

As Poison Wine Pot looked around with his hands behind his back, he secretly sent a message to Weng Sanren: "Did the poison nail I gave you really penetrate into the body of the Hundred Flower Fairy?"

"Ah."

Weng Sanren sneered: "If you don't have a way to distinguish, how can you let me hit the poison nail? It's already this time, do you still want to test it?"

The poison wine pot remained silent after hearing this.

"When I used poison nails to attack Baihua Fairy outside the canyon, she felt amazing, and there was a faint sound of dragon roaring in her body." Weng Sanren added: "The mystery in this secret realm has become clearer. Master Buddha is King Huai of Qingliang Prefecture; Baihua Fairy is from Qianli Green Camp, and is very likely the man wearing the dragon crown; Big Fat Dragon is from the Southern Xinjiang Court, and his specific identity is unknown, but he must be a powerful person; as for Ghost Head Knife, Master Buddha has been targeting him everywhere, so his identity is also known to passers-by, and he should be Guanfeng, whose whole family has ascended to heaven..." Weng Sanren said lightly: "Guanfeng has a blood feud with the Southern Xinjiang Court and the Emperor... Then there is no need to say more about the positions of the six of us. This game is a three-on-three chess game."

"A three-on-three chessboard?" Poison Wine Pot asked back, "You analyzed it very clearly, but you didn't mention me and myself. Why is that?"

"Do you still need to mention it?" Weng Sanren sneered, "Let's not talk about the identity outside the secret realm, just the role in this game. When I attacked Baihuaxian outside the canyon, you were not there, and you had no way of knowing my actions. But you are so suspicious, but you asked me to do something that cannot be verified. Isn't this strange? The only reasonable explanation is that someone will help you keep an eye on it and help you verify it. Baihuaxian was used by me as a token of my loyalty, so naturally he is not the one who is following me. That can only be Guitoudao."

"You and him... must be in the same group."

“I didn’t expect that you were able to capture these details so clearly even though you were away on your second mission.” Poison Wine Pot replied with a smile.

"Only if you can see clearly can you live long." Weng Sanren replied bluntly: "Don't say..."

"But you guessed one thing wrong." The Poison Flask interrupted.

"What's the matter?"

"I do have a way to identify the poison in the Hundred Flower Fairy, but it's not the Ghost Head Knife. She has poison in her body, and I can sense it within a hundred meters, and I can't fake it." The Poison Wine Pot replied: "This chess game is three teams two against one, and the Ghost Head Knife and I are not together."

"Ah."

Weng Sanren sneered.

"Whether you believe it or not, I won't explain too much about this matter. You will naturally know the answer later. However, given Gui Tou Dao's current situation, he has been suppressed by Master Fo. It is difficult for him to turn things around and participate in the competition. If there is a chance, we can win him over." Poison Wine Pot said lazily, "Forget it, let's talk about you and me first."

"say what?"

"Although you have pledged your allegiance, it is still not enough." The Poison Wine Pot shook his head.

"What is enough?"

"You can say a word, but you must immediately make me believe that you are from Daqian." The poison wine pot replied.

Weng Sanren fell silent.

"Haha." Poison Wine Pot waited for a moment and said, "The person who came from the court can't even say a word that I can trust. How can I cooperate with you...?!"

"Eight years ago, in May. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Daqian, there was a dispute over the supervision of the party. You were suspected of being involved and were demoted to Shangyu County in the frontier... During the exile, your wife could not bear the torture and died of illness in the carriage. You were extremely sad and buried her in a peach blossom forest. Three years later, before your mentor Xu Jingyuan died of illness, he pleaded with Emperor Wu, and you were re-employed in Shangyu County. However, you still did not have the trust of Emperor Wu, and you still could not return to Beijing to resume your post. You could only waste your time in the frontier and serve as a... nominal official. During these years of frustration, you played the piano and music every day and lingered in brothels. You had an affair with a brothel girl in Shangyu County, and she gave birth to an illegitimate child for you. It was not until recent years that you got the support of some old officials and began to plot in Southern Xinjiang, and found that there was an opportunity for you to rise again in Qingliang Mansion..."

"I don't know, are these enough? Haha!" Weng Sanren asked with a smile.

When the Poison Wine Pot heard this, he was completely stunned.

After a long pause, he transmitted his voice in a cold tone: "You knew my identity since entering the secret realm?!"

"I don't know." Weng Sanren shook his head and said, "I first learned about the conspiracy of Border Storm and the identity of the plotter, and then I just matched your role in the secret realm in my mind."

Poison Wine Pot was extremely shocked and screamed in his heart: "Why does he know so much secrets?! Even if the court of Southern Xinjiang investigated, it would be impossible to find such detailed information!"

This person must be from the Daqian court.

This is how it plays out...

"Oh my God."

Poison Wine Pot screamed in his heart: "It turns out that after Emperor Wu, Emperor Jing ascended the throne, and the court still did not give up monitoring us, the demoted old officials. This... is too scary!"

“Is that enough? Is that enough? Is that enough…?!”

Weng Sanren kept asking questions.
