Chapter seven hundred and eighty first exchange conditions
"Medicine Hunchback"
These three words are almost unknown to everyone in the Xuanwu Empire, and even in the entire Kunxuan Continent. Regarding the art of alchemy, he can already be said to be a legendary existence.
He was able to successfully refine those medicinal pills that could only appear in legends, and even the pills he refined casually were able to sell for extremely high prices on the market.
Another reason why he is famous in the mainland is that he also has extremely high attainments in refining poisons. The poisons he refined can kill people invisible, and even make the poisoned person not know how he died, and even after death, he can see
There were no clues, it looked like he died naturally.
Another form of poison allows people to experience all kinds of pain in the world at the beginning of the poisoning. In the process, as death approaches, the double pain and mental torture will cause the poisoned person to suffer endless
Death from torture.
Moreover, people on the mainland know that poisons are refined by Yao Tuozi, and even those who are capable do not dare to detoxify them. Otherwise, both the detoxifier and the poisoner will suffer ruthless revenge from Yao Tuozi.
The city lord looked at Zuo Feng in surprise. The young man's reaction before was too exaggerated, which made him a little confused for a moment. He was shocked when he heard the name Yao Tuozi. It was quite understandable.
But it's a little unusual to be so shocked that you lose your composure.
He had some acquaintance with the young man in front of him. He had participated in three competitions and fought against so many strong opponents, and was even dealt with by Su Lan head-on. Anyone would have been paralyzed by fear from these things, but the young man remained calm.
Ziruo, with such a mind, he really couldn't think of anything that could shock him so much.
Zuo Feng was not a fool. He could see clearly from the city lord's eyes that he immediately understood that his reaction was too big and made the other party suspicious. However, he was not too worried. After all, the real reason for his shock was too complicated.
It's impossible for outsiders to guess the whole story.
In addition to looking for an antidote, the situation of this mansion is special and has a very deep connection with the mysterious mansion that I have never understood. I wanted to find out the situation of Linshan Villa no matter what, but in the end
It was actually related to Yao Tuozi. How could Zuo Feng not be surprised after hearing this.
"You know me. I have a great interest in refining medicine. Moreover, this Linshan Villa is too mysterious. I can only understand a little bit about it now. Now that I know that Linshan Villa is actually related to that medicine
Of course I am particularly surprised that Lord Hunchback has something to do with it."
Reaching out and scratching his head, Zuo Feng explained awkwardly.
Hearing these words in the ears of City Lord You, he still couldn't completely believe it, but he did not continue to struggle. Because his attention had been diverted, Zuo Feng's words just mentioned Linshan Farewell.
Yuan's secret was what he cared about most at this time.
Taking advantage of this topic, the city lord said: "So, little brother Shen Feng, how much do you know about the mysterious circumstances of this Linshan Villa?"
Zuo Feng seemed to want to speak, but the city lord remained calm and leaned forward to listen carefully.
But Zuo Feng opened his mouth, then smiled and shook his head, and said calmly: "Lord City Lord, of course I am willing to tell you this information, but I don't know if Lord City Lord can also give me some help."
Hearing what Zuo Feng said, the city lord was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile. Before, he just wanted to use the topic to ask casual questions. If Zuo Feng accidentally said something that he was interested in, then what would happen to him?
It will be a huge gain for yourself.
But it turned out that the young man in front of him was too shrewd and would not give himself any chance to take advantage of it.
The city lord smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and said: "Why don't we sit here and chat, this is also a place with the best scenery in the garden."
At this time, the two of them had already walked up to a platform on the hillside. The mountain should have gradually become gentler here, and then there was a steep mountain top.
In this gentle position, it was obviously later smoothed by manpower, and large stone slabs were paved, so that it became a good viewing place.
This place is different from the common pavilion on the top of the mountain. Instead, a not too long corridor is built along the inside of the platform. There are some flowers placed in the corridor, which looks like a small and medium-sized scenery.
One side of the corridor faces the mountain wall, and the other side is a small open space. There is a stone table and four stone chairs on the open space. There is a chessboard on the stone table, but the chessboard is carved on the stone table.
The chess pieces are scattered all over it. Zuo Feng is not very proficient in this chess game, and he doesn't know who wins and who loses in this chess game.
The city lord went straight to the stone table and sat down. Zuo Feng followed closely and came to the table and sat down opposite it.
"There is a valley over there, and some elixirs and herbs are planted in the valley. I believe that with your knowledge, you will be able to recognize the medicinal herbs in the valley."
The other party was not in a hurry to talk, and Zuo Feng was even less anxious. He raised his eyes and looked in the direction mentioned by the city lord. Judging from the direction, it should be the direction of the other path that was separated before.
What surprised Zuo Feng was that the valley on the opposite side was indeed like the valley mentioned by the city lord, but there was no sign of a lake. In addition, there was also a small hillside on the opposite side, which was even much steeper than where he was, and he couldn't see the original place at all.
The cliffs and pavilions that you can jump off yourself.
These differences in scenery made Zuo Feng feel a little confused. He seemed to have understood some things, but suddenly found that everything was wrong. This feeling is like a person who has been working hard for a long time and is about to reach his destination.
However, he found that he had taken the wrong path, and the destination in front of him had nothing to do with him.
At that time, a faint feeling of powerlessness and physical and mental exhaustion grew in my heart.
"My alchemy skills are not very sophisticated, at least in this Linshan County. I don't dare to boast about it. As for my profound knowledge, it just happened that the items I took out in the competition were all familiar to me. This is not true.
It’s nothing that can be done.”
When Zuo Feng spoke this time, his voice seemed a little cold. This change in tone was also noticed by the city lord. However, he just thought for a moment and continued: "Then I won't beat around the bush anymore. The purpose of my little brother's coming here should be
Maybe it's to find a place to take refuge.
I believe this place should be considered the safest place in the entire Linshan County, so I think you should be able to accept this condition."
Zuo Feng slowly shook his head and said, "I think these conditions are still not enough."
Seeing what City Lord wanted to say, he waved his hand and told him not to worry and to listen to what he had to say.
Then he continued: "First of all, the situation in Linshan Villa is very special. I believe that you don't know the secrets that I know. Even the people who modified the formation at the beginning don't know about it. The value of such information
I don't need to explain how big it is.
In addition, I am afraid that you are exaggerating when you say you will keep me safe. Because there is a guest here right now. He wants to take my life, and I am afraid that even the city lord may not be able to stop it. So where does your guarantee come from?
Get up."
When he heard the last sentence, he who was still listening attentively leaned forward and immediately retracted his body, scanning the surroundings with vigilant eyes. However, after observing for a long time, he slowly said: "Little brother, you are pretending like this.
It is not a good means of bargaining. You must know that whether it is businessmen or forces like us, they all value integrity."
Zuo Feng lowered his head and pretended to be in deep thought, and suddenly said: "Since the commander-in-chief is here, why bother to hide and dodge? With your status, I'm afraid you won't still cower after I point it out."
Suddenly hearing the name "Commander", the city lord's eyes also shone brightly. He turned around and looked around, but still found nothing. Just when he was about to speak again, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the top of the corridor.
She let out a faint smile, and then Su Lan suddenly appeared at the top of the corridor and floated down.
When Sulan appeared, City Lord Yu's body suddenly tensed up, but when Sulan fell beside him, he gradually relaxed.
Sulan narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at Zuo Feng, as if she wanted to see through what he was thinking. But Zuo Feng kept his head lowered, making it impossible to see his current expression, and the three of them fell into silence for a while.
middle.
Finally, Su Lan, who had just arrived, slowly raised his head and said: "I, Su Lan, promise that as long as you tell the secret, you will be safe within Linshan County for a day. This is the condition I put forward."
The city lord's face was a little uncertain at this time, and he seemed to be struggling with conflicts in his heart. Finally, he took a long breath and looked at Zuo Feng.
Zuo Feng knew that although these two old foxes had never communicated, they had reached a tacit understanding in this short period of time. In order to exchange secrets with him, they decided to work together to ensure their safety.
But Zuo Feng also knows that their guarantee is actually not very convincing. After all, he will leave here after the Yaozi competition ends tomorrow. The so-called guarantee of safety here for one day actually means that he will be safe until the competition tomorrow.
The selection is over.
Zuo Feng stood up slowly, turned to the valley below the mountain, and said slowly: "I can tell you the secrets, but before I leave here for tomorrow's competition, I have to go to the black spar and the final formation.
Let’s go and understand it. If you can agree to my request, then I can tell you the secret next.”
This time, Su Lan didn't say anything, but looked at City Lord You quietly, because only City Lord You was qualified to agree to this last condition.
The city lord pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slowly and said, "I'll do as you say."
