Peerless Protégé [Rebirth]

Chapter 18 Cloud Opening

As soon as he said this, the dinner immediately fell silent, even Nan Wang paused, the man immediately grinned and said: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, you guys have to go out later!"

Nan Wang responded, "Yes, yes!"

Luo Jiening stopped the conversation very well, thinking about why this man was lame, and looking at his appearance, he had some guesses about his work. Farming was too difficult, but he didn't know if he was also in business.After they ate for a while, they were about to leave. The man smiled and sent them out. A crutch made him lean to one side, as if he was paralyzed.Luo Jiening and Zhong Zhili walked out with Lan Mulin, Nan Wang who was about to go out suddenly said: "Master, I suddenly have an urgent need to urinate, you go out and wait for me!"

Lan Mulin nodded and said, "Hurry up."

"Ok!"

The man entered the kitchen, cleaned up the dishes, and Nan Wang quietly put it on the table. The wine his uncle brought out had not yet been taken back. Like a few days ago, he took out a kettle from his body, and all the water had been poured out. After filling a jug full of wine, the lid couldn't be closed tightly, so he took two sips and ran out before his uncle came back.

Luo Jiening looked at Lan Mulin thoughtfully, and asked, "Master Lan, how long have you lived here?"

Lan Mulin replied: "It's only a few days."

Luo Jiening nodded and asked, "Where are those poisoned people?"

Lan Mulin said: "They are all in a valley not far away. People in the town don't want to see the corpses, so they pile them up there."

Luo Jiening asked: "Are all the people in this town so indifferent?"

Nan Wang said: "No, people in this town believe in some kind of religion, they believe that life is destined to die, and those who have died are still out of sight."

Luo Jiening frowned slightly, thinking that there is such a teaching?Could it be a cult?

Zhong Zhili asked: "Since they know that someone has poisoned them, why hasn't anyone asked someone from Biyun Mansion to detoxify them?"

Lan Mulin shook his head and said: "I heard that people from Biyun Mansion came before, but they couldn't get rid of the poison. After they left, more and more people died."

No wonder those people are so bold, it turns out they are not afraid of death at all!

Lan Mulin brought the two of them to that valley. It was a very big valley. It looked as if a big hole had been smashed. There were lush trees growing around the hole, and the grassland on it looked very vibrant. , looked down, but saw a pile of corpses, which seemed completely incompatible with the surrounding scenery, and even the smell of corpses wafted up, Luo Jiening only took a look, and then hid in Zhong Zhili Behind him said: "I don't want to go down."

Lan Mulin smiled and said: "If you want to detoxify, you have to go down and have a look. We have been here many times."

Nan Wang jumped down first, and Lan Mulin followed, Luo Jiening pulled Zhong Zhili's belt and said in a deep voice: "The food should be fine, I think there must be something wrong with the wine he brought later."

Zhong Zhili remembered that he was holding his hand, and realized that he didn't want him to hold the wine glass empty-handed, so he turned around and asked, "How did you know that?"

"I think that the person who secretly said that Wuchenxuan has a bad reputation on the site of Biyun Mansion, either has a strong sense of justice, or agrees with you. Obviously, he agrees with you for Lan Mulin's sake. You see, Lan Mulin didn't join a sect, why did he offend Wu Chenxuan for you?

"And his grandparents." Luo Jiening smiled strangely, "Coincidentally, in the previous life, because the six factions had close contacts with merchants from all over the world, at that time, the emperor did not dare to openly suppress the merchants who traded with the six factions. Everyone knows the rules, not to mention the land at the junction of Xuantian Tower and Biyun Mansion, there is an endless stream of businessmen, who intend to promote business, but the businessmen other than this area are still suppressed. His grandparents are really a good story. .”

Hearing the sarcasm in his words, Zhong Zhili said, "I didn't drink it, but Lan Mulin seems to have."

Luo Jiening said: "They've lived here for so long and they're fine, so they should be fine."

After saying that, he wobbled forward and jumped down.Zhong Zhili followed him and also jumped down, a strong smell of rotting corpses hit his nostrils, Zhong Zhili held his breath and came to Lan Mulin's side, only then did he notice that these corpses were indeed with white skin, as if they were on their bodies After splashing a layer of sulfuric acid, Luo Jiening said on the side: "Look, don't they look like pickled chicken feet?"

Hearing what he said, Nan Wang's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "It's kind of like what you said!"

Zhong Zhili ignored the two of them, and asked the only normal person, "Are they just poisoned? Or was it before sudden death?"

Lan Mulin said: "After the sudden death, it is the freshest corpse I have ever seen, and there is no such abnormality on the body."

Luo Jiening pulled Nan Wang and asked, "Have you ever eaten bacon marinated in sugar? It's super delicious!"

Nan Wang: "Use sugar? Do you southerners like sweet things?"

Luo Jiening: "That's right, Zhong Xiao likes sweet things the most, don't you like them?"

Nan Wang: "I think sweet ones are enough for desserts, but sugar in meals tastes a bit weird."

Luo Jiening: "But you also need to add sugar when you eat braised pork, but you can't taste the sweetness, you can't beat the sugar to death with a stick!"

Zhong Zhili and Lan Mulin each carried one and separated them.Talking about food in front of a pile of corpses, I really don't know whether these two people are pretending to be stupid or really stupid.

Lan Mulin held up Nan Wang's collar, but Nan Wang's eyes suddenly went dark, and he fell straight towards Lan Mulin. Lan Mulin was startled, and quickly supported him, and said in a hurry: "Why? gone?"

Nan Wang was supported by him, and then he came back to his senses, touched his forehead with one hand, and said, "Master, I'm fine."

Luo Jiening and Zhong Zhili looked at each other, both of them had doubts in their hearts, didn't they look good just now?Immediately Luo Jiening asked: "Nan Wang, are you feeling unwell?"

Nan Wang was just discussing with him whether to put sugar or not, why did he suddenly pass out?Luo Jiening only thought of one possibility.

Nan Wang leaned against Lan Mulin's body and said weakly, "Master, I seem to be a little weak."

Lan Mulin first sent Nan Wang up and found a place for him to sit. Luo Jiening squatted beside him and asked, "Nan Wang, did you eat something?"

Nan Wang seemed to have been sucked out of his strength all of a sudden, and collapsed beside Lan Mulin, struggling to speak, and said, "I didn't eat anything."

Lan Mulin had been feeling his pulse since just now, now he lowered his brows and said, "I'm afraid he was poisoned."

Luo Jiening remained silent, Nan Wang's eyes were full of surprise, and he asked, "Master, what poison?"

"After being poisoned, you can still live for half an hour. When half an hour is up, you will die suddenly, and then your skin will start to turn white." Lan Mulin seemed to hesitate, and said, "Before, everyone who was poisoned was like this."

Zhong Zhili asked: "Who injected the poison?"

Lan Mulin shook his head and said: "The person who was poisoned before died suddenly without knowing why. Nan Wang stayed with me all the time. No one should be able to get close to him."

Zhong Zhili thought for a while, and said, "Master Lan, there is something wrong with the man we met at noon."

Lan Mulin was obviously surprised, and asked, "Is there a problem? We stayed at his house for a few days, didn't..."

He also seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then said: "You mean..."

Zhong Zhili said: "No one can approach him, but he can."

Nan Wang seemed to have exhausted all his strength and said: "Impossible! Uncle is very good to us!" After finishing speaking, he turned to Lan Mulin, with tears in his eyes, "Master, am I going to die?"

Lan Mulin stroked his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Master will find a way for you."

Luo Jiening looked at the two of them, his doubts were not resolved, so he had to stand aside and watch silently.Over there, Lan Mulin first took out a few silver needles and inserted them in Nan Wang's acupuncture points, then took something out of his body and gave him something to drink. Zhong Zhili stood beside him and asked, "Master Lan is sure to detoxify." ?”

Luo Jie was quiet for a while, then said, "I don't know."

His gaze fell directly on Lan Mulin who was seriously watching Nan Wang, and his mind was muddled.

Lan Mulin looked at Nan Wang who was getting weaker and weaker, with a little sadness in his eyes, he touched Nan Wang's forehead, and said softly: "Master will save you, don't worry."

Nan Wang had already closed his eyes, but at this moment he opened them suddenly, and was shocked: "Master, don't..." Before he finished speaking, Lan Mulin had already sealed his acupuncture points.He didn't know when Nan Wang was poisoned, and he didn't know when half an hour passed.

"Good boy, follow Mr. Luo and Mr. Zhong well from now on, you know?" Lan Mulin stroked Nan Wang's cheek lightly, with an indelible reluctance in his eyes.

Luo Jiening leaned against a tree and closed his eyes. He would come here and met Lan Mulin. It can be said that it was fate. Before he was alive, he had only heard of Lan Mulin's reputation. , Miaoshou rejuvenation, no matter which faction, as long as you find him, you will be able to cure your illness. He has a clear distinction between good and evil, and he is very clear about what he thinks is good and evil.

It's just like this, all the parties respect him, even Luo Jiening dare not do anything wrong in front of him, but this kind of person is bad because the so-called good in his heart can probably include the entire common people.

Luo Jiening once couldn't understand what those people who said they wanted to save the common people, or didn't associate with the world, really thought about it. They are two extremes. Obviously, they have one thing in common, that is, they all die very quickly.

In his heart, Lan Mulin belongs to the former.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a black figure behind Zhong Zhili. Without even thinking about it, he drew his sword out of its sheath and stabbed at him. Zhong Zhili was startled by him, and quickly stepped back. The man had already fallen from the tree, and Luo Jiening stabbed a wound in his abdomen. It seemed that the wound was not fatal. Luo Jiening carried the man and asked, "Who are you?"

The man only took one look at Luo Jiening, then his head tilted and he died by biting his tongue.

As soon as Luo Jiening put this person down, he immediately saw the black shadows around him, and knew that he was surrounded.

He looked at Lan Mulin, who still didn't know what to do for him, Zhong Zhili drew out his sword and said, "It should be those people in the morning."

Luo Jiening gave a "hmm", and Lan Mulin over there had already noticed it, but still lowered his head and didn't have any intention of paying attention to them.

Luo Jiening looked over, these people saw that they were people from Xuantian Tower and they still chased and killed them, they seemed to be desperadoes, he smiled, raised his sword and stepped forward, five or six people surrounded him, Luo Jie Ning just flung one away, and a dark knife flew from behind, Luo Jiening blocked it, and said: "You guys are so unkind! You actually used a hidden weapon!"

None of those people paid any attention to him, Luo Jiening stabbed at the person who used the hidden weapon first, his swordsmanship was nimble, he turned around a few times and repelled the person who was entangled behind him, he took out the fan in his arms and flew over, the fan was iron The bones were sharp and covered with poison, one person was stabbed and immediately fell to the ground, Luo Jiening took the time to pull back, and kicked a burly man down, looking over there, Zhong Zhili had already dealt with five people, come here help him.

Luo Jiening: "..."

Even if he is fast, there is no need to do this, right?

Before Zhong Zhili had arrived, he flew around with a sword in one hand and a fan in the other and killed two of them. After turning around, he drew out his sword and threw it again, causing all five of them to fall to the ground.

Standing in the middle, he raised his eyebrows at Zhong Zhili who was rushing over, and smiled triumphantly. He turned his head and saw that Lan Mulin over there had been detoxified, and knelt on the ground without moving.

The two walked over there, but they saw that Lan Mulin closed his eyes as if he was paying respects to the Buddha, Nan Wang also closed his eyes, the two of them faced each other and didn't know what they were doing.

Luo Jiening stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Lan Mulin's eyes, but without any response, he raised his head and asked, "What are they doing?"

Zhong Zhili shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

After a while, Nan Wang slowly opened his eyes, was stunned for a while, and then as if he had finally come to life, he hugged Lan Mulin all of a sudden, and burst into tears.

Luo Jiening was startled by him, jumped up, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Nan Wang was out of breath from crying, and kept saying "Master" in his mouth, because these two people didn't know what they were doing, and now they should understand.

Zhong Zhili squatted down, grabbed Lan Mulin's hand, felt his pulse, his eyes sank.Luo Jiening knew it when he saw his expression.

They waited for Nanwang to cry enough, Luo Jiening asked: "Your master... what did he do to you?"

Nan Wang's eyes were red from crying, and he pulled out all the silver needles on his body, then put Lan Mulin on the ground, and said hoarsely: "I just heard from my master that his master once taught him a secret technique. You can change someone's life, whether it's poisoning, sword wound, or serious illness, I thought Master would..."

After finishing speaking, he began to cry again: "I don't have a master anymore...it's all because of me...it's all because of me..."

Luo Jiening's eyes widened suddenly, almost unable to stand still, he pulled Zhong Zhili past, and said in a faint voice: "It seems to be..."

Zhong Zhili didn't understand what he was talking about, and asked, "What is it?"

Luo Jiening was dizzy for a while, and said: "The secret technique of Biyun Mansion! Bring the dead back to life!"

He was a little dazed, pulled Zhong Zhili and said: "A secret technique that the head of Biyun Mansion must master. It is said that it can bring the dead back to life, but no one has seen it..."

Nan Wang finally regained his senses, raised his head and asked, "You said my master is the head of Biyun Mansion?"

Luo Jie was quiet for a long while, then said subduedly: "Your master is not the master, he is a disciple."

But why did he have the resurrection technique?

He pulled away Nan Wang who had been hugging Lan Mulin, and Nan Wang immediately screamed——

The skin of that blue dusk forest had already started to turn white, no different from the corpse in that pit.

Lan Mulin's skin was already fair, but now his skin is pale, but it's a bit scary, Luo Jiening pulled him away and looked south, saying: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, those people will definitely not let it go."

Nan Wang pulled Lan Mulin's skirt and said, "What should Master do?"

"Master Lan can't stay here." Luo Jiening only said one sentence, Zhong Zhili had already come over and carried him on his back, and said: "You take him, let's go."

Luo Jiening immediately pulled Nan Wang up and comforted him: "We will help you send your master away, hurry up!"

The three quickly left this ghostly place, Nan Wang was a little out of breath, Luo Jiening said: "Zhong Xiao, take them to the open space in front first."

"it is good."

There is a pond in front of it, and that open space seems to be a place for ducks. There is no one around, and it is already a little far away from the town. Luo Jiening guessed that even if they came here, they would not dare to act rashly. After all, there are more villagers here. From time to time, there will be some chivalrous people stationed in this kind of village, and when they see someone or something that is uncomfortable, they will step forward and get involved.

Zhong Zhili put Lan Mulin down, his whole body was already pale, Luo Jiening felt a chill in his heart, and asked, "Could it be that person?"

Zhong Zhili frowned and said, "It should be."

Nan Wang, who was squatting beside Lan Mulin, shouted with red eyes: "It can't be uncle! Uncle is not that kind of person!"

Luo Jiening squatted down and said quietly: "Some people are not as simple as you seem."

Nan Wang didn't believe his words, shook his head, and tears began to flow down again: "When Master and I came here, there was no place to live, so uncle invited us over, prepared meals for us every day, and treated us specially. Well, it must not be him!"

Luo Jiening had no choice but to stand up and said: "Let's settle down your master first."

"Master...it was I who harmed you..." Nan Wang wept in a low voice on the already stiff Lan Mulin, as if muttering, "Master taught me not to repay wrongdoing, so I agreed with you, but... "

Luo Jiening also didn't expect this situation when he just met Lan Mulin, he turned his back and frowned, feeling very uneasy, Zhong Zhili glanced at him and didn't speak.

He suddenly turned around and said, "Nan Wang, look at your master, I'll go look for him."

Nan Wang's eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "Are you looking for Uncle?"

Luo Jiening nodded, having already made up his mind, Nanwang stood up unsteadily, and said, "I'll go with you too."

"Don't you trust him?"

Nanwang was a little hesitant, Zhong Zhili said, "What about Mr. Lan?"

Seeing that he was hesitant, Luo Jiening said decisively: "If you can trust the two of us, you can take your master to find a place to settle down, and we will help you to see if that person is worthy of your trust. come to you, okay?"

Nan Wang looked at the two of them, and finally nodded.

Luo Jiening glanced at Zhong Zhili, and after agreeing on a meeting place with him, the two left back and forth, Nan Wang walked back to Lan Mulin, hugged him, and said softly in his ear, : "Master, don't be afraid, Qiansi will take you away."
