The wind in the Honglian Mountains is as sharp as a knife, and the thorns hurt the skin. The monotonous and reddish scenery makes your eyes sore and makes you extremely tired after seeing it too much.
From time to time, an insect the size of a fingertip crawled past my eyes, smelling wet and disgusting.
"This is a moisture bug unique to the Honglian Mountains. It lives on medicinal materials and is the natural enemy of medicines. However, the strange thing is that the corpse is a great source of medicinal materials. The medicines grown as fertilizer are powerful and bright.
Many medicinal materials that cannot be grown can not only be grown easily with this thing, but also grow well. Because of this, Red Lotus City can become the largest trading place for medicinal materials in the thirteen surrounding kingdoms!"
Deep in the lotus-shaped mountains, two figures were walking forward. One of them looked at the insects crawling on the ground and explained.
"No wonder, I have been thinking, how could Red Lotus City become a place where medicinal materials are concentrated in such a remote place with no vegetation? I see."
The second figure nodded, took a few steps forward, looked at the fog above his head that blocked the sun, and then asked: "Is this the poisonous miasma you are talking about?"
The two of them were Zhang Xuan and the Great Medicine King who left Red Lotus City and headed to the Poison Palace.
Because it was too dangerous to go to the Poison Palace, I didn't take Mo Yu with me and let her go back to Tianwu King City by herself.
The Medicine King struggled for a while and decided to take him there.
This life is picked up. Since you have promised the other party, you cannot refuse.
Along the way, the two of them have been walking for five full days.
"Yes! There is a large volcano at the bottom of the Honglian Mountains. The surface is so hot that no grass grows, and the rocks are all fiery red. Under the steam of heat, the poisonous miasma is suspended tens of meters above the ground and is hundreds of meters thick. Take a flight
Savage beasts can fly from high altitudes, but it is very difficult to come down. Once they pass through this layer of poisonous gas, they will be injured. Even flying beasts at the master level cannot last for a moment, and they will bleed to death from their seven orifices!
"
The Great Medicine King explained.
"So, this section of the road can only be walked on foot, and you cannot ride on flying beasts! It is also because of this that the Poison Palace has been able to stand in Honglian Mountain for so many years without being massacred by those so-called righteous people."
The Poison Palace prepares poisons and sells them. It is eerie and hard to guard against. It will always offend many people. It has stood for thousands of years without falling. The strong headquarters support behind it is only part of it. What is more important is the secret of these poisonous miasma and its location.
You can't find it even if you look for it, and even if you find it, you can't ride on the flying beast and drive straight in, so it won't be a threat.
"It's indeed amazing." Zhang Xuan nodded.
No wonder many people in the Poison Palace can't find it, or even heard of it. With these poisonous miasma as a cover, even if they know, no one will be able to enter.
These things are not only suspended in the sky, but also partially connected to the ground. If the Great Medicine King hadn't known the path and avoided it in advance, the two of them would have been poisoned.
It can be said that without anyone to lead the way, it is almost impossible to find it.
I had heard before that people who were looking for the Poison Palace alone almost never went there. Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
Fortunately, Mo Yu led the way to find the Great Medicine King and didn't run over by himself.
Otherwise, even if the Heavenly Dao Qi can drive away some poisonous gas, it will still be very troublesome if there are too many poisonous gases.
"How far is it from the Poison Palace?"
Looking forward, he saw that the mountains were still rising one after another, with no end in sight and not even a shadow of a building. Zhang Xuan couldn't help but ask.
I've been walking for five days and I haven't reached it yet. This Poison Palace is too far away!
"We'll be there soon, right in front!" The Great Medicine King pointed forward.
"In front?" Zhang Xuan was surprised.
There is nothing in front except bare rocks. Where did the Poison Palace come from?
"Follow me!"
Smiling, the Great Medicine King walked forward, bypassing a huge rock and a small hillside, and a valley appeared in front of him.
Looking down at the valley, Zhang Xuan was immediately surprised.
I saw a huge city standing in it.
The city was built according to the terrain, and the buildings are ancient, somewhat similar to the Red Lotus City. You can tell at a glance that they have existed for countless years.
"Is this the Poison Palace?"
This Poison Hall town is no weaker than the previous Beast Hall. Various light blue buildings rise one after another, embedded in the red mountains, like a beautiful picture.
"It is said that when the Poison Palace was built, a formation master was specially invited to set up a hidden formation using the mountains as the formation flag. If you can't find the path, you won't be able to see it even if you stand in front of it."
The king of medicine.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
Indeed.
Just now he stood there and watched for a long time. He only saw the mountains and no ghosts. But after walking around a few rocks and a small hillside, such a huge city was right in front of him. If there was no formation to hide it, he wouldn't believe it.
.
"Doctor Bai, there is the Poison Palace in front of you, should we just walk in like this?"
The Great Medicine King asked again.
He felt frightened when he remembered the other person's thoughts.
To be honest, no one has ever seen the special envoy of the Poison Palace, but... once it is discovered that he is not the special envoy of the Poison Palace, he will die without knowing how.
"Well, my current identity is a doctor, maybe someone has seen it...it must be changed!"
Zhang Xuan's current appearance is still that of a white toad. Poison Masters from the Poison Palace have also traveled around a lot, so they may have seen him before, so it's better to be careful.
With a sudden movement of spirit, the camouflage technique was activated, and the muscles and bones of the whole body "clucked!", and the whole person's appearance and height changed. Once again, he looked like a middle-aged man of about forty years old.
After changing into a blue-grey clothes that he had prepared a long time ago, Zhang Xuan seemed to be a different person at this moment. He was no longer the same as Bai Chan or even himself. Not to mention the Great Medicine King, even if Zhao Ya and others came over
, and they definitely wouldn’t have guessed that the person in front of them was their teacher.
It's not easy to pretend to be someone you've seen before, but it's very easy to pretend to be someone you've never seen before.
"Is this...disguise?"
The Great Medicine King's body trembled.
Even he didn't expect Zhang Xuan's move.
No wonder Dr. Bai in front of me dared to pretend to be a special envoy. He had this to rely on.
It’s just...if you disguise it, others won’t recognize it or find it. What should I do?
I am the Great Medicine King of Honglian City. I can run away but the monks cannot run away from the temple.
Bring a fake envoy here. Once discovered, even if you escape, you will definitely be caught, cut into pieces, and chopped into meat paste on the spot.
At first, I thought that the two of them were advancing and retreating together, but then I realized that the other party didn’t even reveal his true face, and even if they checked each other, they wouldn’t be able to find out...
No matter what, it was himself who was the one who cheated.
Understanding this, the Great Medicine King's face was distorted and he wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Don't worry. When you arrive at the Poison Palace in a while, you can declare in advance that I found you and called myself a special envoy. You brought me here without confirming it. This way it has nothing to do with you. As for the contract on you
Gu, it can also be said that I took action to solve it in order to let you lead the way."
Zhang Xuan said after seeing his thoughts.
"this……"
The Medicine King's face turned red.
Unexpectedly, the other party has already thought of a way out for him. It's ridiculous that he still has the heart of a villain and the heart of a gentleman!
I have to say that this suggestion is indeed the best excuse.
He is not from the Poison Palace, so it is normal for him not to recognize the special envoy. If you are also blind and cannot recognize him, you will not be able to blame him even if you want to blame him in the future.
Besides, although the matter of the Gu contract signed between the Great Medicine King and the Palace Master is a secret, there are still people inside the Poison Palace who know about it. Now that the Palace Master is dead, he is still alive and kicking. Without an explanation, everyone will be suspicious.
In one sentence, he solved his hidden danger and made others not suspicious and no longer dare to touch him. It really killed three birds with one stone.
only……
"If I say this, they will definitely be suspicious of you..." The Great Medicine King hesitated for a moment and asked, "I wonder how much Doctor Bai knows about Poison Master?"
In this way, he is safe, but Dr. Bai will fall into a more dangerous situation.
The people in the Poison Palace will definitely find ways to test him. It would be good if he knows a lot about the Poison Master. If there is a slight mistake, the secret will be revealed easily.
"I just heard about this profession half a month ago, never heard of it before!" Zhang Xuan said.
"I just heard about it half a month ago?"
The Medicine King rolled his eyelids and almost spit out blood.
Brother, are you coaxing me to play?
I just heard about half a month ago that someone who doesn’t even know what a poison master is is daring to pretend to be a special envoy...
"yes!"
"Pretending to be a special envoy, you don't even have a badge representing your identity or an identity token from the headquarters. If you want to gain the trust of the other party, you must show your poisoning skills. You don't know anything, you don't understand anything..."
Seeing that the other party agreed as a matter of course and without any fear, the Great Medicine King felt as if there was a mouthful of blood in his chest that would spurt out at any time.
If you have the identity token of the headquarters, a high-level poison master badge, and pretend to be a special envoy, others will believe it!
Without these, solid methods of using poison can still be convincing...
I just heard about Poison Master half a month ago. He doesn’t know anything and doesn’t understand anything, so he dares to pretend to be one. Is it because he is arrogant or because he doesn’t know the danger?
This is not playing house. Once the other party finds out that you are fake, they will really kill you!
"It doesn't matter, just act accordingly when the time comes!"
Knowing what the other party was worried about, Zhang Xuan waved his hand: "Okay, we are all here, it is useless to think too much, let's get down!"
Although he doesn't know much about poison masters, with the Library of Heaven's Law here, even famous masters can pretend to be a more powerful poison master, so it shouldn't be a problem.
"..."
Seeing the other party's indifferent expression, the Great Medicine King looked frustrated, and the little confidence he had just gained evaporated again.
I really don’t know where the confidence of this guy in front of me comes from.
However, now that the matter has come to this point, there is no other choice but to take it one step at a time.
Walking along the passage of the valley, it didn't take long to reach the city.
"Who dares to break into the Poison Palace privately?"
Before entering the city gate, a loud shout was heard, and several middle-aged men in black robes rushed out, with cold eyes like eagles and owls.
Taking a step forward, the Great Medicine King said quickly.
"Oh? So it's the Great Medicine King? If you don't stay in Red Lotus City, what are you doing here?" The middle-aged man named Poison Master Zhou narrowed his eyes.
"In this situation, it's too late for others to hide, but you have to rush over. Are you tired of living?" Master Liu also snorted.
The Poison Palace is in turmoil and everyone is in danger. If you come here at this time, you are definitely seeking death.
These two had known the Great Medicine King before, and they usually kept things away, so they naturally helped him talk.
"I'm looking for the three deputy palace masters..."
Knowing that the other party had good intentions, the Great Medicine King was about to explain his purpose when he saw a poison master coming to Zhang Xuan.
"Who is this person? Don't you know that bringing someone here without permission is a capital crime?"
Looking at Zhang Xuan, the poison master had a strong murderous intent in his eyes: "Outsiders, if you want to blame, it's your bad luck, but it's an honor to die from my newly developed poison!"
"Wait a minute, this is..."
Seeing that he was about to take action, the Great Medicine King's expression changed. Just as he was about to say that he was a special envoy, he saw "Doctor Bai" in front of him, raised his foot and kicked him.
Bang!
The poison master who wanted to kill him flew backwards before he could react, and his body hit the city wall hard like a piece of meat pie. His neck tilted and he lost his breath.
"What?"
"presumptuous!"
Unexpectedly, this guy who broke into the Poison Palace secretly would dare to attack them. Poison Master Zhou, Poison Master Liu and others were all stunned, and then exploded, surrounding the two of them with murderous intent.
"It's over..."
Without a badge representing his identity and not knowing much about poison masters, the Medicine King thought that it would be best to keep a low profile, gain others' trust, and then think of other methods.
This guy will kill people as soon as he arrives...
Brother, do you really think we don’t die fast enough?
Seeing this scene, his body swayed, and the Great Medicine King felt his tears could no longer be suppressed.
Damn it, other people have godlike teammates.
I... I'm trying to trick people to death without repaying my life!
