Chapter 20 Tangmen
Prince Bo's Mansion.
After saying goodbye to the head of the Tang family, the pig-faced masked man, Master Xin, walked towards the prince's dormitory in a familiar way. The guards and servants hurriedly saluted him along the way. The prince once ordered: Master Xin's order is the prince's order, and anyone must follow it. Although no one knows what Master Xin's origin is, he only needs to know that he is the famous person in front of the prince.
Pushing the door and entering, Master Xin came to the edge of the couch and called softly: "Prince."
"Master Xin..." The man lying on his back on the couch moaned, tremblingly raised his hand, and Master Xin hurriedly held it. "Am I going to die?"
"The prince is too worried. The head of the Tang Sect is about to be done. You just need to rest with peace of mind."
After a while of kind words, Master Xin left silently and returned to his room. There were two people in the room, one of whom was wearing a monkey mask, and the other was thin and ruthless. If Tu Shi was here, you could know that these two were Master Ding and Fang Feng.
"Congratulations to junior brother, you have made great efforts in your Taoism and can turn the world upside down. If Master knew about this, he would be very relieved." Master Ding was meditating on the cushion. When he saw his junior brother come in, he dispelled his aura.
Master Xin sat on another cushion and laughed: "Senior brother, don't praise me and kill me. How can human power interfere with the celestial phenomena? It is my limit to cover the palace with raindrops for a quarter of an hour. Senior brother, it is rumored that Baiyunzi Lu's arc was hanging in Anding City for three days, but is it exaggerated?"
"I don't know either. If he was really like this, he would be afraid that he would be only half a step away from the realm of a true person." When he mentioned Lu Arc, Master Ding couldn't help but sigh: "Why did he want to break through the barrier? Is the immortality that everyone envies is not as important as his friends?"
"Senior brother, don't worry. If he comes to Liangzhou, he will work together with your and my strength, and he will have a chance of winning."
"I'll discuss this matter again. How? Did the Tang Sect see any flaws?"
"It's hard to say. Although he has always doubted me, he has no real evidence. I don't need to completely deceive him. He just needs to pay attention to the Sanmiao Sect."
"'Drag the word', okay, you must slowly and never make a quick move. The Sanmiao Sect has committed such a big deal and has made enemies with the Tang Sect, so they will not lose their troops and generals. With a little persuasion, they can be used by their masters. The Tang Sect originally doubted you, and at this time they had to waste their energy on the Sanmiao Sect. Prince Bo was terminally ill and trusted you more - this trick of stone three birds is extremely talented, and I am absolutely not as good as a foolish brother."
"Haha, Senior Brother, I'm so proud." Master Xin's voice was brisk, and it was obvious that the senior brother's praise made him very helpful. His tone suddenly sank: "Senior Brother, can you have instructions to the prince?"
Master Ding exclaimed: "Junior brother, have you felt compassion for Prince Bo?"
"This, no, never..."
Seeing Master Xin stammering, Master Ding said earnestly: "Junior brother, Master, how important is Master’s great achievements in the future? You know that you must not miss a big deal because of our own selfishness!"
Master Xin bowed his head: "Senior brother has given him a warning."
"Oh." Master Ding's voice turned to a ease, and he held Master Xin's hands: "As long as Master's instructions, but don't worry, although Master cares about the world, he is not a sarcastic heart and will not cause and effect. Brother Yu is not mean to you, but since he accepted the task, he has been trembling every day, afraid of becoming a sinner for the ages. I hope you forgive me for this kind of love."
"What did senior brother say? Why are I not a good person? I know the priorities and urgent matters in my mind. I dare not mislead Master's major affairs! Although Prince Bo is very loyal to me, how can he compare to Master's grace for many years of raising me?"
Fang Feng kept standing beside him, smashing his mouth, and had no intention of participating in the conversation (of course, those two people didn't allow him to interrupt). He was so hungry and wanted to eat people.

"The head of the family is back!"
A loud shout made Tu Shi wake up from her fake sleep. Voices of various colors sounded outside the car window: "How is the head of the family?" "I have met the head of the family!" "Hurry, girl, kowtow to the head of the family! I wish the head of the family a long life!"
He couldn't help lifting the curtain, and saw that the car seemed to be driving into the town. Both men, women, young and old on both sides of the road put down their things and greeted the old man in the car. These people's muscles were loose and they were in no posture, not like they knew martial arts. Facing the crowd, the followers of the Tangmen smiled and nodded. Just looking at this style, who believed that they were masters of injuring people with hidden arrows?
The old man still closed his eyes: "Oh, we're home."
"Go home?" Tu Shi was extremely puzzled: "This...is Tangmen Fort?"
Tangmen Fort is a base for the Tangmen Sect. After hundreds of years of operation, it has become a small town, attracting many foreigners who do not understand martial arts to live or work here, while Tangmen Sect is responsible for management. Therefore, the head of the Tangmen Sect is the local emperor here. It is natural for the people to come back to the palace and people come to see the ceremony. Tangmen Fort combines the architectural style of ethnic minorities. The houses are mostly made of bamboo and wood as tiles, walls, and wasabi and vines planted beside the houses, which are green and pleasing to the eye.
The carriage stopped slowly, and the old man got off the car first. Tu Shi saw that two strong men were already carrying bamboo sedan chairs and waiting. The old man who was moving to the sedan chair yawned and said, "Come on, don't get lost. There are mechanisms everywhere in the next road. If you run around, you will die ugly."
Tu Shi rolled her eyes and followed silently, while curiously looking at the mysterious interior of the Tangmen Fort.
A bamboo wall separates the Tang people from foreigners. The buildings inside the wall have eaves and pillars, and there are statues of divine beasts for warding off evil spirits on the roof. It is an authentic Han style. There are two types of people coming and going on the road. One is mostly middle-aged, wearing silk and long gowns, looking like a shopkeeper (such as the middle-aged man who reported to the old man in the palace). This kind of worship is called a great martial arts master and basically does not take action; the other is mostly young people, wearing clothes and trousers that are conducive to action, wearing deer
Leather gloves are the vitality of the Tang Sect, and sweetness should belong to the leader. The Tang Sect family is strict, and young children should not go out easily. If they go out, they must be led by the worshipper. Tu Shi once asked Master Zuo: The Tang Sect is also a family of martial arts, why are they so cautious? Master Zuo replied: The Tang Sect does too much dirty work and has attracted many enemies. If there is no old hen to protect it, the chicks will definitely go out and die one, and two go out and one pair will die.
Tu Shi looked around unscrupulously and silently recorded the route. This was his habit when playing RPG games. By remembering the signs, he would not go astray in the maze. Soon, he came to a passage.
The old man got out of the sedan chair, moved his muscles and strode into the passage. Tu Shi hurriedly followed, but the idle people dared not follow. The two walls of the passage were made of mottled stone bricks, and there were holes on the walls, which made people couldn't help but think of ancient mechanisms that would shoot hidden arrows in adventure movies.
"The mechanism that you can see is not the mechanism, just walk boldly." The old man's pace did not decrease.
The top of the passage is the vast blue sky, and the bottom is the uneven brick and stone road with weeds. When you step into it, it seems like you are coming to a ruin far away from the crowd. Looking at the back of the old man in front of you and listening to the sound of the wind and the singing of birds, Tu Shi was inexplicably sad.
Standing at the exit of the passage, I saw a fence
The fence was surrounded, and there was no sight of the flower fields. There was only a small wooden house and a small well beside the field. The old man walked to the well, rolled up his sleeves and began to turn the wheel: "Come in, I live alone, you can do whatever you want."
"Wow... is this where you live?" Unbelievable that the head of the Tang Sect lived so shabby, which was in sharp contrast to what he saw and heard since entering the Tang Sect Fort.
Tu Shi looked at the flower field again. The fragrance came from afar, and the flowers were even more colorful and tempting. As soon as he had the idea of going into the field to take a look, the old man shouted: "Oh, by the way, you can do whatever else, but don't walk into the field, otherwise you will be poisoned to death."
What?! Tu Shi was shocked and quickly took up [Cangtong] to see. He saw all kinds of poisonous insects in the flowers hunting each other. The beautiful flowers and cruel fighting formed a huge contrast, which made him get goosebumps from the soles of his feet and stirred up the back of his head. The root of the fence was covered with a thick layer of realgar. The insects were like prisoners and had to survive in the realgar circle.
This...it's like a refining a pot.
Tu Shi remembered the case that Ling Lianlanshan mentioned - "The two sides' systems are completely different, so the well water does not interfere with the river. Until many years ago, the Tang Sect began to study Gu, and the cold sweat fell. The Tang Sect was indeed studying Gu. This flower field is the place where the Gu insects are kept, and it must be the important place of the Tang Sect. Isn't it natural for the Tang Sect to choose to live here?
He looked back at the simple wooden house and deeply reflected on himself. This was not a humble room, it was obviously a holy place for poisoning players!
So, what are the plans of this head of the family to bring himself to the important land of the Tang Sect?
"You are attacking the royal palace with the Sanmiao Sect. You should have heard that the prince is seriously ill, right?" The old man walked into the wooden house with a bucket.
Tu Shi followed him: "Yes." He was nervous, but decided not to betray Lanshan no matter what.
The wooden house is also very simple. A long table is filled with various utensils, and many tightly sealed jars are lined up on the shelf against the wall. It is obvious that the head of the Tang family usually tosses poison here.
The old man boiled water to prepare tea: "The prince was infected with miasma. This poison is very strange... It is harmless to the human body. It can be said that it is a dose problem. The doctors are helpless because they have never thought that water can cause poisoning?"
"Water poisoning?" Tu Shi was surprised.
The biology teacher once said that the human body is a dynamic and stable system. If there is insufficient water, people will be thirsty and prompt people to drink water on their own initiative; once there is too much water, they need to sweat and urinate to return to the established level. As the water is discharged, the electrolyte will be diluted, the cells will absorb water and then edema, which will eventually lead to weakness in the human body... If you remember correctly, it should be like this. The teacher also said at the time that putting aside the dose and talking about toxicity, it is a hooligan, even if it is the water and oxygen that we rely on for survival, too much intake is not necessarily a good thing.
"But under normal circumstances, people cannot be poisoned by water. A large amount of fresh water is concentrated in an incredible way and then entered the prince's body. This is the truth about miasma. However, as far as I know, there is no miasma in Liangzhou that is of this nature. It has a Taoist saying that it is called "Sunshui Essence", which is a theoretical water that can only be generated by Taoism."
The old man took out a bottle, Tu Shi's eyes sharply recognized that it was exactly what the worshiper had just submitted. Unplugged the bottle plug, and a cool air of water hit her face.
"It's just that this rainwater contains a small amount of sunflower essence, and someone uses sunflower as a method to rain." The head of the Tang family stared at Tu Shi's eyes: "Tell me, is there any inner support in the royal palace?"
