princess is fine

At this critical moment, Xi Chao shouted in a hoarse voice: "Wait a minute!"

Old man Shen really stopped what he was doing, looked at Xi Chao and said, "Stinky girl, what the hell are you trying to do?"

"This is the red golden scorpion, a rare poison that is rarely seen in a hundred years." Xi Chao glanced at the scorpion, then at the old man Shen who was holding the poisonous insect without changing his face, and swallowed another mouthful of saliva.

Old man Shen snorted coldly: "I'm pretty knowledgeable." After saying that, he squinted at Xi Chao's appearance, and brought the tea on the table to Xi Chao for the first time.

Xi Chao was startled, but he thought that there was no other poison that could compare to the red golden gill in front of him, so he simply took the cup.It's just that when he stretched out his arm, there was a sudden weakness, Xi Chao gritted his teeth and took a breath, before he managed to hold the cup firmly.

Old man Shen watched her tremblingly took a sip of water, slowly put the cup aside, and continued: "This red golden scorpion is extremely poisonous, but its venom is extremely rare. If the old man's drug test is not successful this time, I'm afraid it will happen again. It takes an extremely long time to cultivate this scorpion."

Old man Shen looked at her, and said thoughtfully, "Is this taught by the old guys in the medicine house?"

Xi Chao nodded, she hesitated and asked: "Is the old man familiar with the medicine house?

"Hmph, you want to know my identity?" Old man Shen sneered, and the golden tail in his hand shook slightly.

Xi Chao glanced at the somewhat disturbed Chi Jinjin, and shrank his head: "Forget it."

The old man Shen snorted coldly, put the red gold scorpion that seemed to be a little restless in his hand back into the box, and then looked at Xi Chao: "Even if I say my name, Shen, you may not know it even if you are a yellow-haired girl. What's more, medicine Those old fellows in Lu, how could they take the initiative to mention their disgraceful history to the younger generation, so you better give up your mind, brat."

Disgraceful history... Xi Chao felt vaguely strange in her heart, but she couldn't explain why this feeling came from, but she thought about the plan just now, and continued: "The old man doesn't want to reveal his identity. Naturally, Xi Chao didn't dare to force it. It's just..."

"Just what?" Old Man Shen squinted at her.

"It's just that Xi Chao wants to die and understand that the old man and I have no grievances in the past and have no hatred in the present. Even if you don't like the medicine house, why do you only use me for surgery?" Xi Chao paused: "This matter calls me I can't figure it out, I'm afraid that when I test the medicine, I won't be able to do what I want, and I won't be able to cooperate with the old man."

Old Man Shen sneered and said, "Do you think I will be threatened by you?"

"If it is inevitable to die in the end, then it is no different from me." Xi Chao said firmly.

Old man Shen stood up and stroked the box containing the treasure.

Xi Chao was still slumped on the chair, but there was a stubborn light in his black and white eyes. Old man Shen leaned over to look at her: "Do you still remember Xueshang?"

How could you forget? !Xi Chao took a breath and looked at the old guy in front of him.

"I traveled around the Northern Wei Dynasty for several years, just to find the antidote for Xueshang." He glanced at Xi Chao and talked about an old story.

Back then, he was obsessed with detoxification and was curious about all the strange poisons in the world.Later, I heard that there was a strange poison in the palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and no one could cure it, so I went to the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty to ask for orders.It's just that he went deep into the desert and struggled, but after he found the ghost water lotus, he was given the antidote to the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty before he found it.The person who presented the medicine was none other than Gu Xingjian, the Patriarch of the Northern Wei Dynasty medical family, and his only acquaintance in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

At that time, he was filled with resentment, and wanted to talk to Gu Xingjian about it, but he also learned that the medicine hadn't cured the poison of Xueshang, and the master in the deep palace had already gone.

As a prominent family in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Gu family had prestige both in the political arena and in Xinglin. In addition, the master was already dying.

But old man Shen knew that if he, a quack doctor, was the one who offered the medicine, he would probably die.

In this way, the grievances between old man Shen and the Gu family can't be explained clearly.It's just that at that time, the cynical he didn't want to understand this point. Instead, he felt that the human relationship in this world was becoming more and more untrustworthy, and the behavior of using people to test medicine became more and more rampant.

Later, an old man with a long history came to his door, and he wondered if he wanted to break his rule of saving one person and keeping the other, but he never thought that this old man was just seeking poison.

"You gave him Xueshang?" Xi Chao looked at him and asked.

Old man Shen shook his head and looked down at Xi Chao: "That's the secret medicine of the Northern Wei Dynasty, do you really think it's easy to get?"

Xi Chao choked for a moment, and asked again: "Then, you arrested me because the poison of Xueshang on His Highness has been cured, and you want to know what the antidote is, right?"

"You have this ability?" old man Shen mocked.

Xi Chao choked again. Although she knew that Guishuilian could detoxify the poison of Xueshang back then, she left Jian'an later, and the method behind it was really not very clear.

"Then..." Xi Chao opened his mouth and asked again: "Old man, are you a senior poison doctor?"

Old man Shen finally changed his face, and he looked at Xi Chao with a stern look in his eyes: "Unexpectedly, those old guys in the medicine house still have the nerve to mention my name?"

Xi Chao was startled, but this proves that she guessed right.

In the story of Grandpa Sun, although the name of the senior who was expelled from the medicine house was not mentioned, the title "poison doctor" given to him by the Jianghu people was mentioned.

Xi Chao blinked his eyes and tried to soften his tone so as not to offend the old man: "You said just now that there is a rule of saving one person and keeping the other. To delve into it, so one requirement for those who come to detoxify is to test the medicine."

There are countless masters in the medicine house, but most of them focus on research on typhoid and miscellaneous diseases.There are indeed very few studies on poisoning.Firstly, the medicine hut mainly serves ordinary people, and poisoners are rare, and secondly, most of the strange poisons in the world are born in rare places, and no one has nothing to do to deal with them.

But the poison doctor is an anomaly. Because of his kung fu, he has a lot of contacts with people in the world, and he is rebellious, so he never likes to agree with others.Therefore, I have more contact with sex on weekdays, and I also like to find other ways to save people with some weird methods.

However, Mr. Sun said at the time that although poison doctors like to take people to test medicines, the purpose of testing poisons is mostly to find out the antidote.Although most of the drug testers have suffered a lot, after the antidote is successfully developed, there is still one life left.

"Since you know how powerful I am, why are you still so calm?" Old man Shen sneered, "Aren't you afraid that you will die today?"

It is also because of this old man's strange character that the rumors in the world have intensified, saying that this man is cruel and merciless, and has developed a lot of drugs to be eaten, so that he can't live or die, and he can't die until he is tortured.Therefore, when people mentioned him, their complexions changed.

Xi Chao smiled slightly: "Senior, would you be willing to waste the venom of the Chijin scorpion like this?"

"Hmph." Old man Shen paused for a moment: "If you are sensible, don't have any wrong thoughts, otherwise I will definitely want you to know what is the real survival or death!"

Xi Chao breathed a sigh of relief, since the old man Shen said so, it proves that there is no need to experience the feeling of being unable to live or dying for the time being?

It was not until evening that Xi Chao understood what Old Man Shen said.

In the past few days, she also thought about sneaking out, but old man Shen would give her a medicine every day.This kind of medicine is similar to something called Ruanjinsan in the Jianghu, but it will not make people unconscious, it just makes her limbs weak and unable to exert strength.

But tonight, Mr. Shen didn't bring that bowl of medicine.

"Senior, are you afraid that the venom will be affected?" Xi Chao knew without thinking that it was not because the old man was soft-hearted or trusted him, but because he was afraid that the upgraded version of Ruanjin Powder would affect his drug testing.

"It's good to know." Old man Shen replied coldly.

Xi Chao felt the effect of the medicine on her body slowly dissipate, she shook hands, already gaining some strength.Then turned to look at Old Man Shen: "Senior, aren't you afraid that I'll slip away?"

Before she finished speaking, Xi Chao already felt a chill on her neck. It turned out that as soon as she said those words, Old Man Shen's silver needle had already been delivered to the blood in her neck.

Xi Chao smirked: "Just kidding, kidding..."

If so, Xi Chao also felt the tingling pain in his neck, but fortunately, the old man Shen just took the silver needle back without sending it forward just to give Xi Chao a warning.

Seeing the red light flashing on the tip of the needle, Xi Chao shrank his head slightly: "Senior, can I ask you a question?"

Old man Shen gave her a sideways look: "Ask."

"How sure are you of detoxifying the Chijin gill?" Xi Chao asked boldly.

Old man Shen glanced at her in surprise.

Xi Chao forced a smile: "Poison doctors are also doctors, I know your thoughts should not be surprising."

Old man Shen stroked his beard, and said calmly: "Since I caught this red golden scorpion, I have saved eight people."

Eight people were saved, that is, eight people tried the medicine...

"Then they..." Xi Chao asked with staring eyes.

"If it succeeds? Why should I take you to test the medicine again?" Shen Laoyun said lightly, and then left a sentence: "Sleep well tonight, because after this, you may not have such Here's the chance."

Leaving Xi Chao alone in silence.

The author has something to say:

Xiao Chao'er is so calm because he knows that running away is useless, and because he has hope in the poison doctor's medical skills.Well, it's not because I'm stupid...

Thank you Mr. Dou Sha for your mine, hold on!
