Don't randomly pick up apprentices if you wear a book

I saw a mess everywhere in the small house.A man threw his upper body out of the bed, knocked his head on the ground, and fell silent.Both legs were still on the bed.

Those two legs are not legs at all, to be precise, they should be two bones.It was dense, bloody and bloody, and there were countless carrion maggots crawling on it.

Seeing this, Qiu Fathu vomited.Shangguanyu covered her eyes and hid behind the pale-faced Su Qiubai.

As an uncle, Shen Mu had no choice but to hold back even though he wanted to vomit.Fortunately, there were so many disgusting scenes in the original owner's mind, Shen Mu was already a little numb.

Long Xiaoye frowned.Of course he didn't want to touch this dirty thing.But thinking that Shen Mu would touch the corpse with his white hands, Long Xiaoye had no choice but to be the first.

With a light flick of his toe, he turned the man back onto the bed.

Under the disheveled hair was a hideous face.His eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his eyes were opened to the extreme, but they were already dimmed.The frontal bone was broken, and blood was gushing out, covering the whole face.Where can I still recognize the high-spirited appearance when I was telling the story on the high platform?

Qiu Panghu vomited, and asked with a trembling voice: "Yes, did any monsters kill people?"

Long Xiaoye's face was full of disgust: "He committed suicide."

Shen Mu didn't speak, and acquiesced to his conclusion, staring straight at the man's half-naked upper body.

Like his legs, the man's upper body was already rotten, exuding a stench.A fat, white maggot was protruding from his neck.

The pain of being rotten alive like this is indeed not as good as dying early.

Shen Mu felt sad, and flew out a silver needle and stuck it on the maggot.The maggot twisted its body in pain, and soon the entire silver needle turned green.

"It's so poisonous." Shen Mu said while silently saying "Prosperity, Democracy, and Civilization" in his heart.After concentrating for a while, I put the maggots into the porcelain bottle that I carried with me.

He quickly checked the information in his mind, but rarely found any relevant records.How could the poison, which even the original owner didn't know, happened to appear near Lingyundu?

Is this all about me?Shen Mu faintly had an ominous premonition.

Taking a piece of white cloth to cover the corpse, Shen Mu said: "Let's go. Go and have a look at other places."

Qiu Panghu and the others wished to leave early, jumping faster than a rabbit.

The houses near the storyteller seem to have been vacated.The alley was deadly silent, not a single person was there.

After walking for a long time, Shen Mu suddenly heard a barely audible sigh coming from the courtyard on the left.

Shen Mu stopped and signaled Qiu Fat Hu to knock on the door.

Perhaps for courage, Qiu Panghu slammed the door loudly, but the moment the door was opened, he quickly hid behind Shen Mu.

The person who opened the door was an old man with white beard and hair, holding a dilapidated teapot in his hand.

Seeing Shen Mu and the others, the old man was slightly taken aback, and immediately drove them out.

"Go, go. There is a curse here, if you don't want to die, go."

But Long Xiaoye stuffed one leg into the crack of the door, stared at the old man and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

The old man: "Hey, you child! Where else can I go when I'm about to die?"

As he spoke, there was a trace of indelible sadness in the old man's eyes.

Shen Mu: "Thank you for reminding me, old man. My name is Shen Mu, and I'm Ling Yundu..."

Before Shen Mu finished speaking, the old man threw the teapot and ran into the house in fright.

The teapot was broken into several pieces.Blue-green tea splashed all over the floor.

Long Xiaoye moved and stopped in front of the old man.

The old man wanted to push him, but he didn't seem to have the heart to do anything to the child, so he hugged his head with shaking hands, and muttered incessantly: "Let me go, please let me go."

Shen Mu stepped forward: "Old man, who is going to harm you?"

The old man trembled even more.

Su Qiubai reminded helplessly: "Everyone in the world does not admire the demeanor of the gods."

The words were beautiful, but Shen Mu understood the meaning behind them.Let’s just say that everyone in the world is afraid of the witch god.

Shen Mu felt quite a headache from the ruined reputation of the original owner.

Long Xiaoye sneered: "You dare to boil poisonous water and drink it, but now you are afraid of my master."

The old man: "My tea is not, it is not brewed for myself."

Long Xiaoye's smile became colder: "If it's not drinking for yourself, then it's for harming others."

At this time, the door of the room opened, and a little boy about the height of Long Xiaoye rushed out.

The little boy was very thin, his body was completely covered by a tattered robe with countless patches, only a pair of dark eyes were exposed.

He didn't seem to be able to speak, and when he saw the old man being stopped, he bumped into Long Xiaoye without hesitation.

The old man didn't care about others any more, he grabbed the child tightly to protect him behind him.

As soon as the child appeared, Shen Mu smelled the same disgusting smell as the storyteller.

He carefully observed the child's exposed fingers, and found that there was a faint gray-blue layer under the skin.Not broken yet, seems to be still in embryonic stages.

"He was poisoned?" Shen Mu asked.His tone was very firm.

The old man paused, suddenly thought of something, and grabbed Shen Mu's hand desperately. "Shenjun, please save my grandson Tiedan."

Shen Mu: "Then please tell me what happened carefully."

The old man invited a group of people into the house and started the story from the beginning.His grandson Tiedan stood quietly behind him and listened.

The previous story is similar to what the yamen servant said.But later, probably because the yamen servants went up to the mountain to ask for help, they didn't know that it was widely circulated that the blue-green poisonous water that suddenly appeared in the city could fight poison with poison and break the curse.

"So you boiled that water to save your grandson?" Shen Mu sighed.

The old man choked up: "I also know that this method is dangerous, but I have no other way. Ever since the storyteller Tian Qi got sick, anyone who has money has already moved away. Our grandparents and grandchildren depend on each other, and we can't make up the money."

Tie Dan silently put his arms around Grandpa's shoulders.

The old man shed tears: "We have hardly been out these days, we are so hungry that we can only eat tree bark and shoots for a living. It has always been fine. I thought God let us go, but Tie Dan suddenly became dumb yesterday .”

"Everyone can't speak at the beginning of the disease." The old man broke down in tears.

Shen Mu comforted: "Don't be sad, old man, I will definitely come up with a solution."

Long Xiaoye actually doesn't care about the lives of others.Seeing the death of the storyteller, he knew that it was not Long Ying who did it.

So, he wandered around the small room boredly.Finally, he stopped his gaze on a picture of a small figure beside the bed.

This portrait is not well drawn, it looks like it was torn from some old book.It's just that there is a line of small characters written under the portrait - the portrait of Long Xiaoye, the prince of the Dragon Clan.

If it weren't for these words, Long Xiaoye would hardly have recognized himself.

Seeing someone staring at his painting, Tie Dan silently pounced on it and hid it in his arms.

The old man said embarrassedly: "Prince Xiaodao, please forgive me. Tie Dan picked up the painting from nowhere, and hid it like a treasure."

The grandparents were obviously illiterate.Otherwise, I would never dare to carry the prince of the dragon clan who can cure children's night crying in their pockets.

Long Xiaoye touched his nose, and secretly glanced at Shen Mu.Shen Mu was thinking about something and didn't pay attention.

After a while, Shen Mu found some pills from the storage bag and handed them to the old man.

"Although these medicines cannot completely detoxify, they can suppress the toxicity. You feed the child first, and I will come to you after I research the antidote."

The old man was very grateful, and sent Shen Mu and others out of the house.

Shen Mu found the yamen servants again and asked them to distribute the medicine, while he took his disciples to collect the blue poisonous water.

Several people have been busy until dark.Shen Mu originally wanted to go to the residence arranged by the government office, but his apprentice insisted on staying in the resplendent restaurant last time.

Shen Mu couldn't resist, so he had to go.

Qiu Panghu and Su Qiubai were almost blinded when they saw the restaurant, and they took Shangguanyu to look left and right, and they were very happy.

The shopkeeper very wisely led the three of them to visit other places, and left the private room on the top floor to Master Shen Mu and his apprentice.

The moonlight is like a flower, and the galaxy is bright.

The same wonderful scenery, but this time Shen Mu was not in the mood to appreciate it, he kept frowning and thinking about the method of detoxification.

Long Xiaoye silently picked up a piece of candied lotus root and put it into Shen Mu's bowl.

Shen Mu picked it up and put it in his mouth without even looking at it.After chewing it for a few times, I didn't seem to be able to distinguish the taste, so I put down the chopsticks.

Long Xiaoye's eyes dimmed, and he used the sound transmission technique to ask Long Ying who was hiding in the dark: "What kind of monster is in Suizhou City?"

Long Ying: "This subordinate has just returned from the South China Sea, so we haven't investigated it clearly yet. However, that monster's morality is quite deep. This subordinate tried to drive back the toxin in the water, but failed."

Long Ying is Long Xiaoye's shadow guard. Although his combat power is not as good as Long Xiaoye's, he has few opponents.Long Xiaoye became interested in the poison that even he couldn't push back.

Long Xiaoye: "Go to the water and do a little chasing, and you must find out its lair."

Qianlizhui is a special tracking secret treasure made by the Dragon Clan. It is colorless and invisible, and it will not fail even in water.

Long Ying took the lead and left.

Long Xiaoye and the others walked away, and said to Shen Mu in a childlike voice: "Master, you should eat something. Only when you are full will you have the energy to catch monsters tomorrow."

Shen Mu rubbed his apprentice's head: "How does Xiaobai know that it's a monster, not a curse?"

Long Xiaoye: "The curse is just a cover-up, it is put on purpose for people to see."

Shen Mu nodded: "But I can't think of what kind of poison is so powerful."

Long Xiaoye continued to pretend innocently: "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Maybe tomorrow the answer will come out by itself?"

Shen Mu was amused.This is just like what he prayed before the exam when he was a child.But when did the answer really come out by itself?

But Long Xiaoye calmly stuffed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake into his mouth.

Shen Mu chewed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, it was very sweet, and he thought it was very delicious.

After eating, Long Xiaoye arranged an extremely soft bed.It's a pity that Shen Mu didn't go back to his room, and spent the whole night studying the maggot and the collected water samples.

Long Xiaoye had no choice but to sit and yawn boredly, while scolding that monster who didn't know what it was thousands of times.

Before dawn the next day, a yamen servant broke into the restaurant and shouted: "Shenjun, no, it's not good. There are funerals, zombies."

Shen Mu was startled, and jumped directly from the window on the top floor.
