"Young Master, you and the Young Madam should take a rest..."
It had been more than two hours since Zhang Hu had eaten the plant rhizome. Lu Fenglei saw that Zhang Hu was no different, and he was relieved. He turned around and said to Qian Yuandan: "I am here to keep watch, nothing will happen."
Yes!"
"Then please trouble Mr. Lu, Qian Yi, put up the tent..."
Qian Yuandan nodded, and Qian Yi and others immediately took out two folded objects from the package Qin Feng picked. Without much effort, two small tents appeared in the open space.
"Mr. Lu, let's take a rest first!" Qian Yuandan greeted Lu Fenglei, and then he and Zhao Xiner entered the two tents respectively.
Although both Qian Yuandan and Zhao Xin'er were both Mingjin practitioners, they were already tired and exhausted after walking so many mountain roads in their daily lives.
"There are so many rules here."
Seeing Qian Yuandan and Zhao Xiner entering the two tents, Qin Feng couldn't help but curled his lips. They already had the title of fiancée, but they were not still together. It was almost unimaginable to the outside world.
In fact, Qin Feng didn't know that the original five major clans attached great importance to the separation between men and women. It was impossible for men and women to meet before marriage. Only during the bridal chamber could the husband and wife see each other.
However, a few decades ago, a cultural wave came from the outside world, which was to break down feudal superstition and arranged marriages and promote freedom of marriage.
This paradise has always been in contact with the outside world, so they have always been deeply influenced by outside culture, so in this space, the reform system of marriage was also launched.
However, before this reform was completely carried out, the royal family of Qindu was destroyed, and the five major clans were eager to compete for territory and expand their power. There was no time to take care of these small things.
Since then, although the marriage system here still emphasizes matching, the protection between men and women is not as strong as before. Before marriage, men and women can often see each other's faces.
The marriages of the five major clans take it a step further. They often arrange marriages for their direct descendants before they have any experience.
During the experience, let both husband and wife do it together. This will not only enhance their relationship, but also allow the couple to share joys and sorrows. This is also the reason why Qian Yuandan and Zhao Xiner got together.
It's just that the influence of thousands of years of cultural inheritance is not easy to eliminate. Zhao Xiner and Qian Yuandan have indeed not broken through the last line of defense between men and women, and they live in separate rooms every day.
"The Yuan people's culture is not good, but this tent is suitable for living outside..." Lu Fenglei glanced at the tent and closed his eyes slightly.
Although he seemed to be resting, every move within a hundred meters around him could not escape Lu Fenglei's induction. However, except for Qin Feng carrying dry firewood back and forth, there was no other movement.
Perhaps it's because the woods are too weird. Within a few hundred meters of the woods, even mosquitoes are rare. Except for some insect buzzing on the top of the hillside, the rest of the place is silent.
"Brother He, come on, take a rest!"
Seeing that Qin Feng was sweating profusely from exhaustion, Yao Er pulled Qin Feng and said: "We have almost enough firewood. My second brother will help you watch the night. You can sleep for a while..."
Except for Qian Yuandan and Zhao Xiner, no one else was allowed to sleep in a tent, but Yao Er spread a thick layer on the ground with dead branches brought by Qin Feng, and it was quite comfortable to lie on it.
"Okay. Brother Yao, you're welcome." Qin Feng smiled, and after lying down, he said, "Brother Yao, call me in two hours. It's almost time to add more firewood."
"Your second brother, I can't do this job?"
Yao Er waved his hand, signaling Qin Feng to just rest. Compared with him opening the way, Qin Feng was carrying such a heavy burden, but it was no easier than him.
The night in the mountains is very quiet, except for the roar of tigers and monkeys in the distance, and the "clicking" sound of firewood being burned.
Qin Feng and others were lucky. After the mountain wind blew in the middle of the night, the wind gradually slowed down in the second half of the night, but it was still chilly.
The thick smoke from the bonfire would have been blown away by the mountain wind. When the wind subsided, a layer of smoke gradually enveloped the surrounding bonfire.
"Second brother, please take a nap, I'll add more firewood..." After about two hours, Qin Feng opened his eyes and gently patted the sleepy Yao Er next to him.
"Ah? Okay, sorry for bothering you, brother!"
For some reason, Yao Er felt like his upper and lower eyelids were about to fight. If Qin Feng hadn't patted him, Yao Er would probably have fallen asleep sitting down.
"It's okay, I'll get some more firewood!"
Qin Feng stood up lightly. As he stood up, Lu Fenglei, who was sitting cross-legged on the other side of the bonfire, opened his tightly closed eyes a tiny crack, but then closed them.
.
"Huh? Could it be that the mountain wind was too strong and blew away the smoke?"
Qin Feng walked towards the sea of flowers and looked back. When he fell asleep just now, Yao Er also added a lot of firewood with poppy fruits in it, but it didn't seem to have much effect.
"Then burn more, Master's words are always right!"
When he arrived at the withered poppy flowers, Qin Feng took off his coat. He first collected a large bag of poppy fruits, then gathered some dry poppy stalks and tied them into a large bundle with his clothes.
Returning to the bonfire, Qin Feng untied his clothes and poured the poppy stems and poppy berries into the bonfire. The bonfire, which was about to burn out, suddenly burst into flames, and the fire became more intense.
The poppy stems Qin Feng burned this time were not all dry inside. Many of them, including the poppy fruits, were not withered. As a result, the smoke became louder.
As the mountain wind weakened, the smoke emitted from the bonfire slowly enveloped the surrounding area more than ten meters away.
However, the smoke seemed to have a scent that was not offensive to the smell, so even Lu Fenglei, who was always on guard even though he was not asleep, didn't pay much attention to it and didn't even open his eyes.
As for Qian and others, after their master went to bed, they sat on the ground back to back and fell asleep in pairs. Unconsciously, they inhaled a lot of the smoke.
No one noticed that when these people inhaled the smoke, the skin on their bodies underwent subtle changes. Red spots appeared on the surface of the skin, and their breathing became somewhat rapid at the same time.
"Huh? It's somewhat effective. I need to increase the dosage..."
After pouring the bag of poppy fruits into the bonfire, Qin Feng sat there and observed. When he saw the changes in Yao Er next to him, his face suddenly showed a hint of joy. He got up and walked towards the sea of flowers.
When Qin Feng came back, those who were asleep were no longer as quiet as before, especially Qian Yi and others. They seemed to have had a nightmare, their bodies were twitching, and they talked in their sleep from time to time.
"Let me add more fire to you..." Qin Feng poured another pack of poppy fruits he collected into the fire. The smoke surrounding the bonfire suddenly became much thicker.
"It seems to be working!"
In a burst of "cracking" burning and exploding sounds, the pack of poppy berries turned into a puff of smoke and scattered around the bonfire, and the aroma suddenly filled the air.
Smelling this fragrance, Qin Feng felt a little dizzy. After biting his lower lip, he became more awake. He couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
You know, the rhizome of the plant that Qin Feng ate before was actually the antidote to the poppy fruit. After taking the antidote, he almost got lost when he smelled the fragrance, which shows how powerful the smoke was.
The trick used by Qin Feng is much more powerful than the ecstasy smoke in Jianghu. Poppy has a hallucinogenic effect, and the smoke produced by burning poppy fruit can directly cause hallucinations and prevent people from extricating themselves. .
When Zai Shi was traveling around the world, he once went to the border between Yunnan and Myanmar. He fought against the Jiangtou Division from Myanmar. The Jiangtou Division was no match for Zai Shi, but they used a trick to lure Zai Shi into a place where poppies were blooming. The place.
The head-dropping master lit the poppy field on fire, and the thick smoke caused Zai to hallucinate at that time. He found that he had become the emperor, and the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard felt very uncomfortable.
Just when Zai Shi was addicted to the hallucination, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, but the head-dropping master inserted the sharp blade into Zai Shi's chest, but it was this biting pain that made Zai Shi break away from the hallucination.
Being smoked by this poppy smoke not only causes hallucinations, but also makes people lose all their strength. After they wake up, they find that they have no power to fight back.
In desperation, Zai used his master's secret technique to bite the tip of his tongue, and then forcibly raised his zhenqi to kill the head-lowering master. However, he was also seriously injured and was bedridden for three months.
While he was recuperating, Zai still couldn't understand why he fell into the ecstasy smoke, but the head-dropping master was not affected. This puzzled Zai.
So after recovering from his injuries, Zai returned to the place where opium poppies were grown. After several studies, he discovered that the original ancient book said that "there must be an antidote to a highly poisonous thing three feet away." It's not a lie.
The poppy fruit can refine opium and drugs, and the smoke can cause people to fall into hallucinations, but the roots of the poppy are the antidote to the smoke. As long as a poppy root is eaten raw, the smoke will no longer affect people. The nervous system.
It was only then that Zaishi realized that the head-dropping master was not poisoned, but had taken the poppy rhizome beforehand.
That injury was Zai's most serious injury since his debut, so he remembered it very clearly. Later, he described the situation to Qin Feng several times.
This is why Qin Feng took the initiative to ask Ying to carry dead branches back and forth several times after discovering that the sea of flowers was all filled with poppies.
However, Qin Feng was afraid that the appearance of poppy smoke at the beginning would make Lu Fenglei alert.
Therefore, there were no poppy fruits in the first burning poppies. It was not until a few hours later, when Lu Fenglei relaxed his vigilance, that Qin Feng threw a large number of poppy fruits into the bonfire.
"Madam, just obey me!"
Suddenly, a sudden shout came from the corner of the bonfire. Qin Feng followed the sound, but it was Qian Yi who hugged Qian Er tightly and was trying to take off his clothes with both hands.
"Guanren, I have wanted to be with you for a long time."
What surprised Qin Feng was that Qian Er, who was blushing, actually catered to him. Not only did he take off his clothes, but he also put his mouth to his. The two big men lay on the ground and rolled over.
"Damn, this... is this smoke or an aphrodisiac?" Qin Feng was dumbfounded. Are these two brothers usually in love with concubines? At this time, they finally couldn't stand it anymore?
Qin Feng once heard his master say that the "miyao" produced by the burning poppy fruit will make people remember the most unforgettable things. Is it possible that Qian Yi Qian Er always thinks about each other?
"Get away... get away, get away!"
A loud shout diverted Qin Feng's attraction, but this time it was Yao Er who was shouting. He was holding a wooden knife in his hand and waving it around. He was shouting loudly, as if he was attacked by a wild beast.
"Xin'er, Xin'er..."
"Brother Dan, I look like you..."
Something also happened at the tent not far away. Zhao Xiner, who usually wore a cloak and looked like a chaste and fierce woman, actually got into Qian Yuandan's tent.
The maid who was guarding the entrance of the tent also got in at some point. Clothes were scattered all over the floor outside the tent.
"Why am I not a direct descendant of the Qian family? Why am I just a branch of the Qian family? Kill you, I will kill you!"
Young Master Qian from the town also stood up at this moment, stabbing with a dagger in his hand, but his feet were like a ghost hitting a wall, and he couldn't move.
"This mist can really make people reflect their inner desires!" Seeing the expressions of these people, Qin Feng suddenly understood.
"Huh? Why is this old guy okay?"
By the light of the fire, Qin Feng looked at Lu Fenglei. What shocked him was that Lu Fenglei was still sitting on the ground, seemingly unaware of the shouts of the people around him.
"No, he's forcing poison!"
Qin Feng looked carefully. Only then did he realize that Lu Fenglei's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and on the top of his head, a wisp of white smoke shot out, gathering but not dispersing, and it was more than one meter high.
"Damn it, we have to kill this old guy quickly!" Qin Feng was shocked. If Lu Fenglei really forced the smoke out of his body, then the scene today would be in vain.
Qin Feng knew that after entering An Jin, the inner energy of the body could force the "miyao" out of the body. At the same time, as long as the external breathing was turned into internal breathing, the smoke would no longer have any effect.
"Ah, kill you, I want to kill you!"
Thinking of this, Qin Feng suddenly stood up and chopped Yao Er's neck with one hand. After knocking him unconscious, he grabbed Yao Er's wooden knife.
"I'm not afraid of you, you wild wolves should all die..."
Qin Feng shouted and walked towards Lu Fenglei, but his right hand holding the knife was hanging by his side, and only his left hand was waving randomly.
After arriving at Lu Fenglei's side, Qin Feng clearly saw that Lu Fenglei's eyelids moved and the muscles on his face twitched, obviously aware of the danger around him.
However, Qin Feng did not take action against Lu Fenglei. Instead, he waved his left hand around Lu Fenglei randomly while restraining the murderous intention in his heart.
Sure enough, when Qin Feng restrained his murderous intent, Lu Fenglei's expression immediately became calmer. At the same time, the white smoke above his head was forced out more and more, and he was covered in sweat, as if he was in a hot spring.
"Where am I? Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you?"
In fact, Lu Fenglei didn't know about Qin Feng's arrival. At this moment, he was also trapped in a hallucination. His reaction to Qin Feng's approach was just an intuition of his body's subconscious resistance to danger.
At this time, Lu Fenglei was in a thatched house. Two corpses were placed in front of him. The man and the woman had already lost their breath. The young Lu Fenglei lay on top of them and kept crying.
"Zhao Dabao, I will kill you one day!"
The scene turned and Lu Fenglei appeared in a martial arts hall. He was lying on the ground with bruises all over his body, and four or five teenagers who were more than three or four years older than him were laughing maniacally.
"Hahaha, Zhao Dabao, you also have today?!"
The scene moved forward five or six years. At this time, Lu Fenglei was already eighteen or nineteen years old. Due to his extraordinary talent, Lu Fenglei entered the realm of Ming Jin at the age of nineteen and became the person with the highest cultivation level in this martial arts school.
people.
Zhao Dabao, who often bullied Lu Fenglei in the past, has been stepped on by Lu Fenglei. People around him are looking at Lu Fenglei with admiration, which makes him feel extremely happy.
Later, Lu Fenglei entered the Qian family, successfully joined the Qian family's bodyguards, and became prominent, and soon became the leader of the bodyguards because he entered the dark realm.
"Zhang Xiaotian, you want to fight me, hahaha, do you know that your son and daughter-in-law are part of the expedition team that I arranged for you to join?"
The next moment Lu Fenglei saw his old friend. He and Zhang Xiaotian joined the guard at the same time. However, in the past few decades, Zhang Xiaotian has always been superior to him in terms of cultivation and status. This made Lu Fenglei extremely unhappy.
.
Moreover, Lu Fenglei did not marry Xiang Wu in his early years. When he wanted to marry and have children, he worked hard for several years, and his mother-in-law's belly did not get bigger.
After Zhang Xiaotian's son grew up, Lu Fenglei's heart became unbalanced again. Why should Zhang Xiaotian's successor be cut off?
A narrow-minded person will not look down on the good life of others. Jealousy made Zhang Xiaotian's mentality more and more distorted. His early friends became life-and-death enemies in his heart.
Looking for an opportunity, Lu Fenglei bribed a direct descendant of the Qian family and forced Zhang Xiaotian's son and daughter-in-law to join the expedition team that went out to sea to search for the outside world. This made Zhang Xiaotian worried all day long.
Sure enough, during this period of time, Zhang Xiaotian made no progress in his kung fu. Finally, when the news came that the expedition team at sea was wiped out, Zhang Xiaotian even went astray in his kung fu and almost went crazy.
The scene that Lu Fenglei encountered at this time was when Zhang Xiaotian single-handedly entered the Qian family. However, Lu Fenglei, whose kung fu had already entered the stage of transforming strength, was able to deal with Zhang Xiaotian, who was still secretly strong, with ease.
"Damn, he is indeed a cunning and cunning person!"
Qin Feng knew that Uncle Zhang's full name was Zhang Xiaotian. After hearing what Lu Fenglei shouted, he immediately understood that what happened to Uncle Zhang back then was related to Lu Fenglei.
"I'll kill you while you're sick!" Qin Feng's eyes flashed with a ruthless look. He knew that now was the best time to take action. He made a mistake in his steps and came behind Lu Fenglei.
"Huh? Why does Huzi seem to be in the smoke?" Qin Feng, who was about to slash out with his sword, suddenly turned his eyes to Zhang Hu, who was lying not far away from Lu Fenglei. Zhang Hu's thin body was constantly shaking.
Twitching.
"Don't let anything happen."
Qin Feng didn't bother to kill Lu Fenglei. He was talking nonsense in his mouth, but he walked to Zhang Hu's side. His left hand touched the veins on Zhang Hu's neck and injected a true spirit into it.
"Ah? How scary!"
Zhang Hu shouted and woke up instantly. He had taken the antidote, but he took a little less, so he was affected by the smoke.
"Master, what's wrong with me? It seems like I had a dream!"
After Zhang Hu opened his eyes, he wiped his forehead with his hand and said, "I dreamed that my parents were sinking into the water. I...I wanted to save them but couldn't..."
"Huzi, it's okay, just sit here and don't move..."
Seeing Zhang Hu wake up, Qin Feng was immediately relieved. He rubbed Zhang Hu's forehead, turned around and walked towards Lu Fenglei. He knew that time was urgent. If Lu Fenglei forced him out of the mist, what would be the arrangements for tonight?
All previous efforts will be wasted.
"Zhang Xiaotian, I killed your son and ruined your skills. What can you do to me?"
In the illusion, Lu Fenglei slapped Zhang Xiaotian until he vomited blood. He looked up to the sky and laughed, venting all the resentment that had been accumulated in his chest for many years.
"My parents were killed by you?!"
Zhang Hu, who had just woken up, couldn't help but stand up when he heard his grandfather's name, and shouted loudly, "Lu, you killed my parents?"
"not good!"
Just when Zhang Hu shouted, Qin Feng suddenly noticed that Lu Fenglei's eyelids fluttered, as if he was trying very hard to open his eyes.
Qin Feng no longer cared about concealing his figure, and suddenly rushed in front of Lu Fenglei, waved his right hand high, and slashed diagonally towards Lu Fenglei's neck with the wooden knife in his hand like lightning.
Qin Feng knew that his master was just a cultivator of dark strength, and he could use pain to stimulate his body's potential, thus killing the head-lowering master.
Lu Fenglei's cultivation level was much higher than that of Zai Shi. If he couldn't decapitate him with one blow, he might not be able to withstand Lu Fenglei's counterattack before his death.
"Huh? You want to kill me?"
Just when the wooden knife was about to hit Lu Fenglei's neck, Lu Fenglei, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and spit out a puff of white smoke from his mouth.
This smoke gathered and refused to disperse, shooting towards Qin Feng's face like a bullet. The sound of piercing the air immediately reached Qin Feng's ears. In desperation, Qin Feng could only turn his head to the side and avoid the shot.
White smoke.
However, just after this delay, Lu Fenglei raised his left arm to block Qin Feng's wooden sword, and at the same time struck out with his right palm, aiming at Qin Feng's chest.
A ferocious look appeared on Lu Fenglei's face. He was confident that even if he stood still and let Qin Feng chop him, the wooden sword would not be able to break through the defense of the true energy on his right arm.
Moreover, Lu Fenglei's right palm was not struck with all his strength. He just wanted to injure Qin Feng and then interrogate him as to why he attacked him.
