Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 50: Why should we know the morning mushroom?

After what happened just now, Ah Zhu and the others were still in shock. They did not dare to say more to Wuzhan, and reported to Xiao Yuzhen in front of them: "Master, the young master wants to help you."

Xiao Yuzhen stopped, turned around, glanced at Wuzhan, and said in a deep voice: "Take him there and come back quickly!" Everyone stopped and waited.

Wuzhan walked back a long way and came back to the pond. He asked Ah Zhu who was following him, "How far do you want to go from me before I can take off my clothes?"

When Ah Zhu heard this, her cheeks flushed, she turned away and said shyly, "Sir, go ahead!"

"Thank you!" Wuzhan walked away slowly.

After a while, Ah Zhu felt a little flustered and asked shyly, "Is the young master okay?"

Not far away, there was a light cough, "Almost there!"

"Hurry up, if it takes too long, Master will blame me."

Not long after, Wuzhan, wearing wrung-out clothes, walked behind Ah Zhu and whispered to the anxiously waiting Ah Zhu: "Let's go back!"

The two of them had not walked far when they met two disciples who came to look for them. "It's taken so long. Master couldn't wait any longer, so he ordered us to come and urge you." They carried Wuzhan and rushed back to the team. When Xiao Yuzhen saw Wuzhan being brought back, she did not ask any further questions.

……

The distant peaks are lonely, the evening breeze is silent, the campfire is lazy, the spring flows by the ears, and the night is not over yet.

The disciple sleeping by the campfire wanted to get up to relieve himself, but before he could stand firmly, he fell headfirst into the senior sister next to him. The senior sister was woken up by the collision and lazily blamed him, "You are so careless."

The junior sister said weakly: "I don't know either, I just feel weak all over."

The senior sister opened her sleepy eyes and tried to get up, but she also felt weak all over. She whispered in surprise, "Why do I feel like I have lost all my internal energy? Are we poisoned?" She hurried to wake up the senior sisters who were sleeping soundly around her. It took a lot of effort to wake them up. When these disciples woke up, they felt dizzy and weak all over, and they became panicked for a moment.

However, the disciples who were farther away from the campfire showed no abnormalities in their bodies. Xiao Yuzhen, who was sleeping in the tent, was woken up. She came out of the tent and saw Wuzhan and Qin Moyao there. She asked the disciples, "Why are you arguing instead of sleeping?" The disciples hurriedly described the situation to Xiao Yuzhen.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuzhen looked around with her almond-shaped eyes, her nose slightly raised, and she slowly walked to the campfire. After carefully observing the campfire, her eyes lit up, and she pointed at a wooden bottle that was more than half burned, and said in a reproachful tone: "It's the 'Qi Hua Rou Jin San'. Who threw it into the campfire?"

'Qi-Transforming and Muscle-Softening Powder' is a unique poison made by Xiao Yuzhen. No matter if one smells it or swallows it, one will lose all internal strength. If one does not take the antidote within forty-nine days, one's meridians will be severed and the person will become a cripple. The elders in the gang and the disciples of Cangshan all have this medicine, but the antidote is only in Xiao Yuzhen's hands. When the Baiyue Gang was first founded, this poison played a significant role, allowing the Baiyue Gang to quickly amass wealth and grow. It was this 'Qi-Transforming and Muscle-Softening Powder' that was given to Qin Moyao to take.

The disciples hurriedly checked their own medicine bottles, took them out and firmly said they were not theirs, but everyone had more than one medicine bottle, and it was unclear who had dropped it. Xiao Yuzhen thought carefully that it was impossible for her disciples to deliberately drop the medicine bottles in there. Perhaps they accidentally dropped them when throwing wood, and the fire spread them into the air. Seeing that no one admitted it, she said in a deep voice, "Forget it, let's check how many people are poisoned."

The poisoned disciples were all by the fire, in the direction of the breeze, a total of sixteen people. Xiao Yuzhen took out a jade bottle from her sleeve, opened the cork, poured out sixteen bean-sized green pills in her hand, handed them to Ah Xue beside her, and distributed them to the poisoned disciples. After seeing the disciples take the pills, they wanted to turn around and go back to rest. Ah Zhu was beside Wuzhan and said in surprise: "Young Master is also poisoned!"

Although they knew that Wuzhan and Qin Moyao were unable to escape, they were tied under the same tree at night just in case. Both of them smelled the poisonous smoke, but at first the disciples saw both of them and didn't take it seriously. When they confirmed the number of people poisoned, Ah Zhu was worried that Wuzhan would also be poisoned, so she walked over to check.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuzhen hurriedly leaped in front of Wuzhan. Wuzhan had already fainted, with a weak pulse. He was already weak, and how could he withstand the poison? She quickly poured out another pill and put it into Wuzhan's mouth. She asked Ah Zhu to untie the rope and help Wuzhan sit up. Xiao Yuzhen quickly injected her true energy into Wuzhan's meridians.

Xiao Yuzhen had never saved anyone before. After expending a lot of energy, Wuzhan slowly opened his eyes and whispered, "Thank you, Virgin Mary, for saving me!"

Xiao Yuzhen was exhausted and sweating profusely. Seeing Wuzhan wake up, she slowly withdrew her hand, stood up without saying a word, and returned to the curtain.

After Qin Moyao smelled the poisonous smoke, she felt even more poisoned. She had no strength left in her body and collapsed under a tree. But no one paid any attention to her and no one could give her the antidote.

Although she was very close, she was still keeping an eye on Wuzhan. She clearly saw Wuzhan flicking small particles into the campfire from time to time when all the disciples of Cangshan were asleep. It was dark at night and she had no idea what it was. When Wuzhan flicked the wooden bottle in, Qin Moyao knew that Wuzhan must have flicked in pills. Although she didn't know what Wuzhan's purpose was, she knew that Wuzhan would never do this easily, "He is always so plain and mysterious!" Xiao Yuzhen was by her side treating Wuzhan. She didn't even have the strength to speak at that time. She didn't know why she felt so sour in her heart, which was greater than her fear of tomorrow.

Looking up at the starry sky, her breathing became heavy. She heard the snoring of a sleeping man again. She closed her eyes and was too weak to open them again. "If I die and my body is exposed in the wilderness, will he even take a look at it?"

Her face was bathed in warm sunshine and gentle spring breeze, as if immersed in gentle water, or as if lying on her own bed in Mount Emei. Everything became lazy and dreamy, and she was reluctant to wake up.

……

Suddenly she found that it was a person's tongue, with sweet medicine juice under the tongue. She slowly opened her eyes, and a familiar yet unfamiliar face was reflected under the starry sky. She slowly loosened her teeth. In fact, she had guessed it was him a long time ago. Who else could be so smart?

When the disciples of Cangshan left the pool, no one put away Ah Jiao's clothes. Wuzhan knew there must be a medicine bottle inside, because he had seen Ah Jiao take it out. Three bottles were collected venom and the other one was this medicine. So he went back to get it on the pretext of wringing out the clothes, and put it in the Qiankun Jade. When all the disciples were asleep, he threw it into the fire. His purpose was to let Xiao Yuzhen take out the antidote for treatment. This medicine had little effect on Wuzhan, so he fainted in order to make Xiao Yuzhen panic and trick her into taking the antidote. As soon as the medicine took effect, he covered it with his tongue. He did not expect Xiao Yuzhen to be able to input true energy for him, and that true energy had no effect on him. Wuzhan waited for a long time, in order to make her feel heavier when she rested. The medicine had melted under her tongue, and when all the disciples were asleep, Wuzhan put the medicine into Qin Moyao's mouth.

Wuzhan said softly: "I'm sorry!"

Qin Moyao gently let go of the jade arms that were hugging Wuzhan, and leaned against the tree again as if she had lost something. Her eyes were filled with sorrow to the extreme and could no longer be closed. She was not worried about whether she could escape, but that she had fallen into an abyss again. What she was worried about was how long Wuzhan could live, which was a sharp question.

"You can't escape now. You have to wait until you fully recover. Then I will help you leave."

"then you……"

"It doesn't matter where I am. Didn't you say she wouldn't kill me?"

"Did you get the spell?"

"How could I have obtained that spell? If I hadn't said that, it would have fallen into Qingyang's hands, and I might have died by now."

Qin Moyao felt mixed emotions. She was happy that Wuzhan didn't lie to her, but she was worried that Wuzhan didn't lie to him. "Then she will kill you too!"

"I guess there are already a lot of people who want to kill me, but I will live!"

"Thank you!" Qin Moyao said softly, holding Wuzhan's hand on his knee.

This love cannot be waited for, cannot be forgotten in this life, yet it is so close and yet so far away, holding hands my heart is sad.

The eastern sky was turning pale, and everything was particularly dark under the shadow of the mountain. The strange early-rising birds were calling "cuckoo" lonely. Xiao Yuzhen waited until the sun had climbed above the treetops before she walked out of the curtain. She set off only after she had packed up. After Qin Moyao took the antidote, she concealed her true energy and was still supported by the Cangshan disciples as she walked. No one noticed her change.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and the leaves rustled, as if waves were pushing in from the depths of the forest. The rustling sound became clearer and clearer. Xiao Yuzhen frowned and listened carefully. She immediately felt something was wrong. She flashed and jumped onto the ancient tree, looking in the direction where the sound came from.

In the distance, they saw a group of old trees being knocked down. It seemed that a group of monsters were running towards them. The old trees blocked their view and they couldn't see what kind of monsters they were. However, the monsters were coming towards them with such a large area and such a fast speed that they had no time to avoid them. Xiao Yuzhen hurriedly shouted, "Form the 'Lone Boat Formation' and prepare for defense!"

When the Cangshan disciples heard the master's order, they knew that the situation would be very serious, because they had never seen Xiao Yuzhen's face so solemn. Moreover, this "Lone Boat Formation" was a formation when under siege. The front, middle and rear of the formation concentrated their attacks on the front line, while the left and right wings were strictly defended to tear open a gap and break out. It was like a lone boat on the coast breaking through the waves. Although it had been practiced in normal times, it had never been used, which showed how urgent the situation was.

Everyone was busy surrounding Wuzhan and Qin Moyao in the formation, forming a good battle formation, with the darts in their hands ready to be fired. The disciples in front of the formation drew their short swords and daggers and were ready to welcome the unknown "wave".

The wind was blowing hard, and the roars and howls of monsters could be heard. The rustling sound could no longer be heard, replaced by the roar of the earth, like huge waves hitting the charred rocks, rumbling and shaking.
