Lonely Immortal

Zhang Zhiwen didn't expect things to turn out this way, but since things had come to this point, he could only bite the bullet and move forward.

The two came to the table, and the boy who squeezed out of the crowd barely hesitated, grabbed a pill on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

Zhang Zhiwen breathed a sigh of relief. The boy didn't take the Yiqi Pill, but he didn't show it, and began to try his best to identify the pill on the table.

He racked his brains to recall any common sense about pills. When he was a child, he heard some common sense about pills from the veterinarian, but that was a long time ago, and he was young, so it was almost difficult to remember anything useful.

This pill is not like medicinal herbs. Medicinal herbs have more or less traces. Zhang Zhiwen would also find some herbs to heal his injuries during these years outside the city.

But pills are different. They are made by mixing several kinds of medicinal materials together. It is not something Zhang Zhiwen can do to tell whether they are poisonous just by looking at the appearance.

In his eyes, except for that Yiqi Pill, there is almost no difference between other pills.

Just as he was trying to identify, a scream came from his side.

The boy who squeezed out of the crowd was unfortunately poisoned. He fell to the ground, just like the other poisoned boys, but he was more miserable, bleeding from all seven orifices, his face was hideous, and his body was twisted, which showed how strong the toxicity of the pill he had just swallowed was.

After the tragic death of the previous boys, the other boys were no longer so terrified, but Zhang Zhiwen was still scared when he saw the tragic poisoning of the boy next to him. He couldn't help but take a step back and stared at him as he died little by little.

The boy died, and before he died, he was unwilling to stare at Zhang Zhiwen, like a devil.

Fortunately, the young man in green quickly asked someone to carry the body away, and Zhang Zhiwen was shocked to find that he was already wet with cold sweat.

"Why are you dawdling? Hurry up!"

The young man in green still urged coldly.

Seeing his eyes like a venomous snake, Zhang Zhiwen's heart tightened, and he had no choice but to pick up the Yiqi pill.

When he picked up the Yiqi Pill, he deliberately hesitated for a while, and hesitated among several nearby pills for a few times before finally picking up the Yiqi Pill.

Then, he swallowed the Yiqi Pill without hesitation.

Seeing that he took the Yiqi Pill, the young man in green snorted coldly, but didn't say much.

Although Zhang Zhiwen knew that the Yiqi Pill was non-toxic, he still pretended not to know, and he also had a terrified expression, his body was stiff, and he dared not move.

But his eyes were fixed on the other pills on the table. He didn't have much time left now, only half an incense stick of time.

But he couldn't tell anything from the appearance of the pills alone, so as time passed, he still couldn't tell which pills were poisonous and which were non-toxic.

"Well, half an incense stick has passed, you can choose to leave or continue now."

The young man in green stared at Zhang Zhiwen coldly and said.

Zhang Zhiwen confirmed from his eyes that if he left now, he would not see the sun tomorrow.

So, he had no choice at all, he could only grit his teeth and say: "I want to continue!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was quite surprised, including the young man in green.

Those teenagers naturally didn't understand why Zhang Zhiwen wanted to continue. Isn't this the same as seeking death?

In their opinion, Zhang Zhiwen swallowed the pill for the first time without being poisoned, which was almost by luck.

Then would he have such luck the second and third time?

Who dares to guarantee it?

The young man in green was surprised because Zhang Zhiwen was the first person to propose to continue.

But he immediately understood Zhang Zhiwen's thoughts. Yes, the young man in front of him saw that this test must be swallowed more than two pills without any problems.

Based on this alone, the young man in green had some different views on Zhang Zhiwen.

At least mentally, the young man was still relatively calm.

"Well, then you choose."

The young man in green just glanced at Zhang Zhiwen for a while, and then said coldly.

Zhang Zhiwen took a deep breath. At this point, he had to stay calm.

Not only that, he had to try his best to conceal his demeanor and not let people feel any strangeness in him.

He just thought of something in his mind. That is, the veterinarian once said that any poisonous pills will basically have some different reactions when they come into contact with human skin, such as some weak numbness and tingling.

For example, if you pinch the Baji Pill with your fingers, it will produce a slight tingling sensation for a while. The feeling is very weak and you may even ignore it if you don’t pay attention, but this is a more practical way to identify whether the pill is poisonous.

The reason why the veterinarian was willing to tell him these things was because Zhang Zhiwen was literate. If Zhang Zhiwen was illiterate, the veterinarian would not be interested in mentioning these things to him. Therefore, it was very useful for Zhang Zhiwen’s parents to read some books to him.

However, on the surface, Zhang Zhiwen still looked very nervous. His hair was wet with cold sweat, and his outstretched hand was also shaking. This was not all pretending. He was really very scared in his heart.

He had not tried to see if this method was feasible, and when it came to life and death, no matter how determined he was, he was just a twelve-year-old boy.

In this way, he stretched out his hand and pinched a pill. He didn't let go, just pinched it, and even secretly rubbed it a few times to make the pill contact the skin of his fingers as much as possible.

Afterwards, he just held the pill without moving and stared at it, making it look like he was about to swallow the pill, but in fact he was waiting for the drug to take effect.

Soon, an almost imperceptible faint numbness came, and Zhang Zhiwen felt a sudden change in his heart. He almost couldn't hold the pill, but soon, he was ecstatic.

This method really works!

However, he remained calm on the surface, and then he put the pills in his hand back on the table, rubbing his fingers together to remove the little bit of pill powder on them, and then picked up another pill.

After picking it up, he followed the same method as before. Zhang Zhiwen waited for a while. Soon, he felt a slight tingling sensation on his fingers, and he put the pill back again.

This back and forth gave the impression that Zhang Zhiwen was extremely afraid of death and very hesitant. Those teenagers obviously felt that Zhang Zhiwen was extremely stupid. What was the use of choosing these pills? Since you can't identify it anyway, you might as well try your luck and pop one into your mouth. Life or death depends on it anyway!

But the young man in green shirt frowned slightly, instead of urging Zhang Zhiwen, he let him choose.

Afterwards, Zhang Zhiwen continued to select pills one by one, and finally got one pill that had no reaction.

Seeing the pill he took, the young man in green shirt was finally slightly moved.

Obviously, the young man in green shirt knew whether the pill was poisonous or not. The pill in Zhang Zhiwen's hand was indeed non-toxic.

"Do you recognize this pill?"

He couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Zhiwen remained calm on the surface, but he suddenly became nervous in his heart. Could it be that the young man in green shirt saw through his tricks?

But that shouldn't be the case. He didn't do anything, and he really didn't know what the pill in his hand was. Even now, he wasn't sure whether it was poisonous or not.

He can identify poisonous ones, but the lack of reaction does not seem to mean that they are not poisonous. After all, his knowledge of pills is very limited.

But because the young man in blue shirt asked him this question, he was almost certain that the pill was non-toxic. If it was poisonous, the other party would not need to ask him this question at all.

Of course, Zhang Zhiwen's inner joy did not show any external expression. He just shook his head blankly: "I don't recognize it."

The young man in green shirt couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment, and soon returned to his indifferent demeanor: "Then hurry up and stop whining."

Zhang Zhiwen naturally wouldn't do what the other party said. He naturally wanted to hesitate for a while, so he pretended to hesitate and put the pill back on the table, but he took it back halfway, and then hesitated for a while. , finally seeing that the young man in green shirt could hardly bear it any longer, he reluctantly swallowed the pill.

The young man in green shirt didn't seem to have any patience. He waved his hand and said, "This pill is non-toxic. You are now our servant. You can choose to report to the shopkeeper, or you can continue."

He originally thought Zhang Zhiwen was a different young man, but now it seems that he is not even as good as the previous young men, especially the dead young man, who still looks like a man.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwen showed an expression of great surprise. Of course, he was pleasantly surprised in his heart. Although he guessed that the pill was non-toxic, it was still a guess. The other party gave him a clear answer, so it must not be false.

Then he would have saved his life!

But half of it is just pretending. If he didn't act very surprised, everyone would be suspicious. After all, a person who has escaped from death should be extremely surprised.

He knew very well that being looked down upon by others was actually the safest way to survive. Others would not care about anything at all. Therefore, he asked in a submissive manner: "Then if I swallow one more pill, then Even if I am poisoned, the Medicine Hall will save me, and can I become a disciple of the Medicine Hall?"

"good."

There was a hint of disdain in the young man's eyes, but he still nodded and replied.

In his eyes, it was a joke that someone like Zhang Zhiwen could enter the medicine hall, but since the gang rules were like this, there was nothing he could do about it.

But what happened next surprised the young man in green shirt, because Zhang Zhiwen did not choose a pill to take it quickly, but instead started to moan again.

But in Zhang Zhiwen's opinion, how can he let others control his own life? If a poisonous pill is taken, even if the medicine hall will come to the rescue, what if something goes wrong?

That being the case, why not decide your own destiny? Wouldn't it be safer to choose a non-toxic pill?

Seeing that he was so cowardly and stupid, the disdain of the young man in blue became more and more obvious.
