Chapter 25: The Tang Family's Poisons Are Famous All over the World
Following the waiter's guidance, I saw a middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body, immersed in abacus. Xue Xichen Shi Shiran stepped forward and said casually: "Shopkeeper, I want to treat you as something."
The shopkeeper didn't even raise his head and replied casually: "Please go to window 4 to pawn items, and to estimate the price, please go to window 3."
"Erding, take it seriously!"
The shopkeeper raised his head when he heard this, and followed Xue Xichen's movement of combing her hair and fixed his eyes on the bright sapphire earrings on Xue Xichen's ears. His hand movements were slightly sluggish, and he immediately pointed to the backyard, "Girl, please come inside."
"Thank you!"
The simple inner courtyard does not have any fancy decorations. The incense burner in the corner is burning sandalwood, which is quiet and elegant. As soon as Xue Xichen sat down, the shopkeeper had already served fragrant tea with both hands and asked respectfully: "Girl, do you want to ask?
What?"
"I'm looking for a kind of herbal medicine - Cangjia grass!"
"Cogota?"
The shopkeeper blinked his eyes and said with an honest smile: "Girl, Dark Dragon Pavilion sells information about people or things. If you are looking for herbal medicine, it seems you should ask the miracle doctor..."
"Nonsense! If Xiao Liuyue knew, would I still need to go to such trouble?"
Xue Xichen rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "By the way! By the way, send a message to Xiao Liuyue for me and tell him the news that I arrived in Yu'an Town safely!"
"yes!"
After a pause, Xue Xichen said, "Or, let me ask another way. Who is the person in the world who is the best at making and detoxifying poisons and knows the most about poisons? You are not allowed to say who is from the Wushuang Sect!" she added.
The shopkeeper thought about it seriously and replied: "If there is one other than the Wushuang Sect, it must be the Tang Sect. I wonder if the girl has ever heard of the Tang Sect? The Tang Sect in Sichuan is known all over the world for its use of poison.
Hidden weapons are mysterious and well-known in the martial arts world. People in the Tang Sect are good at designing, inventing and using various hidden weapons and poisons, which are astonishingly powerful. Disciples in the sect rarely travel around the world, and Tangjiabao has many institutions and is full of hidden weapons, making it very difficult to enter. Therefore,
Although the Tang Sect is famous far and wide, it has always been shrouded in a veil of mystery. The disciples of the Tang Sect are secretive, their whereabouts are erratic, and they are both righteous and evil, making it difficult to figure out. They are neither willing to associate with the famous sect, nor do they disdain to associate with evil spirits and crooked ways.
He lives in Tangjiabao all year round and is not known to outsiders."
Xue Xichen asked: "Do you know the specific location of Tangjiabao?"
The shopkeeper replied: "Near Tangjia Village, Daxing Town, Bishan County, Chongqing, Central Sichuan."
"knew!"
Xue Xichen stood up and was about to leave when the shopkeeper suddenly asked: "Girl, are you going to Tangjiabao?"
"Well! Just tell me, senior brother, not to worry! I will come back when I find the Cangriformis!"
"Young girl, do you think you can find Cangjiata in Tangjiabao?"
Xue Xichen said: "Since the Tang family is famous for its use of poisons, I believe they are no stranger to the most poisonous grass in the world, Cangriformis. Even if there is not one in Tangjiabao, maybe they can tell me where to look for it. Even if
There’s little hope, but I’m going to give it a try!”
"Miss, do you need me to tell Mr. Xiao?"
"That's fine! Let senior brother rest assured!"
"yes!"
The shopkeeper paused and asked again: "Does the girl need some money for travel expenses?"
Xue Xichen tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded, "Then I'll help the shopkeeper!"
"Girl, wait a minute!"
"good!"
After taking out the money ticket and stepping out of the gate, the sun was already rising. Xue Xichen untied the reins of his horse, got on his horse, thanked the waiter, then spurred his horse, whipped his horse, and disappeared under the scorching sun.
The horse was riding fast all the way, and the sun was gradually setting in the west. Xue Xichen looked up at the sunset. He touched his belly and suddenly felt hungry. He stopped his horse and dismounted in front of a restaurant. He handed the horse to the waiter who came up to him and walked away.
Enter the bustling restaurant.
It was dinner time, the busiest time of the day in the restaurant. Xue Xichen glanced around and saw that all the tables, chairs and benches were occupied, and there was no empty seat. She walked to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, "Is there any room available?"
"
"Yes!" the shopkeeper responded neatly, "Does the girl stay in the hotel?"
"Give me a quiet guest room."
"Okay! Xiao Lizi, take this girl to Room No. Tianzi Geng."
"yes!"
Immediately, a waiter carrying a towel came forward to greet him, nodded to Xue Xichen and said with a smile: "Girl, please come with me."
"Um!"
Xue Xichen followed Xiao Lizi up the stairs, looked back at the lively and crowded hall, and suddenly felt a sharp gaze directed at her, and she felt a chill down her spine. When she looked back to think about it again, that gaze had disappeared.
Is it an illusion?
Xue Xichen asked herself.
Is it an illusion caused by being too tired from the journey?
However, her subconscious told her that it was not an illusion!
So, what exactly is...
…
"Girl, this is the room!"
Xiao Lizi opened the door and asked Xue Xichen to come in.
"Thank you!"
Xue Xichen walked into the room, looked around the simple but quite spacious and bright room, and nodded with satisfaction. She threw the bundle on the bed and told Xiao Lizi, "Bring me a meal to the room."
"Yes!" Xiao Lizi asked dutifully, "I wonder what the girl wants?"
Xue Xichen said casually: "I want your restaurant's specialty dishes."
"Okay! Wait a minute, girl!"
After Xiao Lizi left, Xue Xichen sat on the bed comfortably, yawning lazily and falling asleep. Since leaving Jiangdu, things have happened one after another, and she has not had a good rest. Now she has to
She was really tired from running around looking for Cangrifagus, and wanted to have a good night's rest.
Later, Xiao Lizi brought food. After Xue Xichen had a simple meal, she asked Xiao Lizi to prepare bath water for her.
She tied up her hair and picked out a change of clothes. She didn't bring many clothes with her when she went out this time. Fortunately, it was freezing cold and she didn't need to change clothes every day, which saved her a lot of things.
After taking a comfortable hot bath, she felt refreshed all over, as if all the fatigue of the past few days had been washed away. Xue Xichen yawned and fell asleep. She mustered up the energy to go to the backyard to carry a bucket and wash the clothes she had changed.
The clothes and well water were cold, biting to the bone, and I woke up seven minutes in an instant. I washed them in a hurry, dried them, went back to the room with the charcoal stove, and got into the bed to stay warm. Drowsiness came over me, and my eyelids trembled.
, couldn't help but fall asleep slowly.
Sleeping until midnight, he suddenly felt a chill. Xue Xichen had a sensitive sixth sense and woke up instantly. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a cold light stabbing towards his chest. Xue Xichen quickly turned over to dodge, and the long sword pierced the cotton.
The quilt, lightly belted, raised white cotton wool like rain.
"who!"
Xue Xichen picked up the red cloak hanging on the bedside and wrapped it around her body. The next moment, the deadly sword light was approaching. Xue Xichen jumped up, turned over and landed on the ground, avoiding the stabbing sword, and pushed it away with both hands.
Suddenly, a cold air mixed with cold wind rushed towards the window, and Xue Xichen couldn't help but shiver.
With the cold light coming behind him, Xue Xichen didn't think much, and jumped down from the window sill. Using her lightness skills to the extreme, she landed on the low roof rubble, tapped her toes, and floated away into the distance.
