Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 320: Is this your home

Views:

Zhao Changhe ignored Yang Qianyuan and quickly entered the stone house.

The outer room had been emptied by Tian Lingzi, and the secret door passage was very eye-catching. After passing through the passage and entering, one could see a larger space at a glance. In the middle of the space was a furnace. The fire had long been extinguished, but there was a faint glow in the furnace. Even if the copper furnace was sealed, it could not cover it. It was obvious that there was a treasure.

If there is elixir in the furnace, it can truly be called an elixir of life.

Sitting cross-legged beside the stove was a skeleton, the skeleton was dark green in color, just like a skeleton model made of black jade... It looked like it died of poisoning, or it was caused by practicing poison.

An alchemist was about to finish refining an elixir when he suddenly died of poison, leaving behind the medicine in the furnace...

When the era collapsed, was it the strange power of the elixir in the furnace that protected the independence of the space

This is a bit scary, what kind of elixir can achieve such an effect? Or is there something else

It was not known whether there was something else on the skeleton; it was impossible to see clearly at the moment because countless members of the Money Gang, including the gang leader, were collectively wailing and rolling around it, obstructing the view.

However, no matter who it was, no one could get within ten feet of the skeleton and the alchemy furnace, forming a strange ten-foot protection zone.

As if it had been calculated precisely, the poison in the air had completely permeated the distance from the entrance to its side within ten feet, and it took effect precisely.

Those who really know what's going on, like the poisonous spider, noticed something was wrong the moment they entered the passage, and they immediately evacuated and went to capture others to test the poison... Unfortunately, Gang Leader Qian and the others were not good at using poison, and they didn't realize it at all. By the time they discovered that the poison had entered their bodies, it was too late.

In the short time that Zhao Changhe and Xia Chichi came in to observe, the people from the Jinqian Gang had gone from wailing in pain to rolling on the ground, and then to not even having the strength to roll around, with only faint groans left.

All planted...

Not to mention them, even Xia Chichi who had uncovered the secret could not sense any poison in the air. It was colorless and odorless and nothing special could be detected. Only when he kept looking inward could he find that the toxin had penetrated through the skin, and it was dissolved by the rejuvenation technique passed on by Zhao Changhe while holding his hand before it could take effect.

Actually, Zhao Changhe didn't understand poison, but he was well prepared and with the Rejuvenation Technique on him, he could easily sense it. At this time, the toxins in the air were indeed becoming thinner and thinner. Even if he didn't use the Rejuvenation Technique, he and Chi Chi's poison resistance abilities would probably be enough to hold out for a while.

I guess if we get a few more people to fill in the gaps, the poison here will completely disappear...

Just as he was thinking this, Yang Qianyuan's cry came from outside: "Tian Lingzi! You...ah!"

The sound was suddenly cut off.

Zhao Changhe and Xia Chichi decisively started the performance, curled up on the ground and held on motionlessly.

The next moment, screams rang out one after another, and the members of the Jinqian Gang who were guarding outside were thrown in one after another.

Tian Lingzi was looking for poisonous spiders outside but couldn't find any. He was extremely puzzled. Without the poisonous spiders, how could he judge whether the poison here was clear or not? Should he go in and try it himself

But then I thought, isn't it a good thing that the poisonous spider is gone? One less person to share the spoils. There is probably only one pill!

Tian Lingzi had an idea and turned around, throwing Yang Qianyuan and other gatekeepers in to test the toxin content inside.

Sure enough, the people thrown in were poisoned for longer and longer periods of time, and it was obvious that the toxin was almost disappearing.

Tian Lingzi was overjoyed and finally threw it to Yang Qianyuan.

Yang Qianyuan looked at the people lying on the ground in a mess, his face ashen, and thought to himself that his life was over... But he was stunned for a few breaths, and he was fine. He was stunned for a few more breaths, and he was fine.

The toxin has dissipated!

Yang Qianyuan was surprised and delighted, and almost laughed out loud.

What is Destiny Child

This is!

Even more surprised than him was Tian Lingzi, who walked in with wild laughter: "After all the effort, this day has finally come."

His eyes fell on Gang Leader Qian. Gang Leader Qian was not dead. He was curled up in the crowd, beads of sweat the size of beans dripping down his face. He was suppressing his emotions in extreme pain and didn't even have the strength to speak.

Tian Lingzi walked up to him with a smile and stomped on Gang Leader Qian's shoulder, crushing it to pieces. "How does it taste?"

Gang leader Qian was too weak to even scream, and groaned softly, "I was blinded by my own greed... If you have the guts, just give me a quick death. What kind of hero is it to torture others?"

Seeing that Tian Lingzi ignored him, Yang Qianyuan ran away.

Tian Lingzi really didn't bother to deal with a small shrimp like Yang Qianyuan. After hearing what Gang Leader Qian said, he not only didn't give Gang Leader Qian a quick death, but instead pinched Gang Leader Qian's other hand, crushing it inch by inch from the finger bones: "I, Tian Lingzi, have never been a good man. Did you know that on the first day?"

Gang Leader Qian held his breath and stared at the entrance of the passage.

He had a backer, but he hadn't shown up to help yet. Gang leader Qian thought that his backer might have fallen into the hands of the poisonous spider, and the more he looked at it, the more desperate he became, and he eventually died.

Zhao Changhe felt that the so-called backstage didn't care about his life or death at all, and was waiting for Tian Lingzi to check the corpse and the alchemy furnace to see if there were any thunderbolts before taking action...

Seeing that the leader of the Qian Gang was dead, Tian Lingzi was too lazy to torture the other members of the Jinqian Gang. Instead, he looked at Zhao Changhe with a smile and said, "I was afraid that you two would be the ones behind the scenes, but you are stupid enough to follow me in and get poisoned. Where is the poisonous spider?"

Zhao Changhe didn't say anything, and Xia Chichi simply pretended to be unconscious. Tian Lingzi smiled and said, "If she died in your hands, there would be a report in the Book of Chaos, which shows that she must have been injured by you and hid away. It's not a bad thing. The poisonous fog has been removed, and I don't need her anymore, so I can keep her all to myself."

Zhao Changhe sighed: "Even if you monopolize it, the poisonous spider will still cause trouble for you in the future."

"Don't bother with that." Tian Lingzi bent down and pulled him up, sealed Zhao Changhe's acupuncture points with one finger, and pushed towards the black jade skull: "Go get the things on him for me."

That dark jade-colored skeleton was filled with poison no matter how you looked at it. It was highly likely that the spatial poison was emitted by the skeleton. How could Tian Lingzi dare to touch it? Of course he had to find a stepping stone.

Zhao Changhe was pushed towards the black jade skull. Xia Chichi opened his eyes slightly behind the two of them, but saw Zhao Changhe waving one hand behind his back, signaling not to be anxious.

She had originally planned to kill Tian Lingzi, but Tian Lingzi showed no interest in her beauty, nor did he torture Zhao Changhe. Instead, he asked Zhao Changhe to take a poison test... There was really no rush, so Xia Chichi watched the show quietly.

Zhao Changhe squatted beside the black jade skull and looked at it carefully.

There was a thin booklet with the title "Poisonous Herbs Sutra" on it, which seemed to have been placed close to his chest, and then fell off after his clothes decayed, and landed on the cross-legged position. In addition, there were some scattered things, such as gold, silver, pearls, and jade, and a small black jade token, which might be an identity card.

Tian Lingzi urged: “Bring it here!”

Zhao Changhe silently handed the Poison Scripture and the token to Tian Lingzi. Tian Lingzi took them with his hands wrapped in true energy and laughed: "Zhao Changhe is indeed a man who knows the times. No wonder he is so successful. Go and open the alchemy furnace."

Zhao Changhe reached out and lifted the lid of the furnace, but couldn't open it. He was a little surprised: "It can't be opened... It's as if it was cast as one piece."

"Where did the lid of the alchemy furnace come from?" Tian Lingzi didn't believe it: "Are you pretending? You didn't actually use any strength?"

Zhao Changhe looked at him speechlessly and said, "You'll know if you strike him from a distance."

Tian Lingzi picked up the sword of Gang Leader Qian on the ground and threw it over, accurately inserting it between the furnace cover and the furnace body.

With a clang sound, the sword was bounced away, but the furnace cover did not move at all and could not be opened at all.

Tian Lingzi also began to wonder: "Is it not strong enough?"

Zhao Changhe said silently in his heart: Yes, the power of the dragon and elephant is needed.

His "acupoints were sealed", so he was naturally powerless. It was impossible for Tian Lingzi to help him unblock the acupoints, so he finally condensed his own true energy and pushed it out wildly.

At the moment of the burst of Qi, the meridians twisted with a sharp pain. The toxins that had been lurking in the body for who knows when, if the Qi did not move, it would be fine. But if the Qi moved, it would be like a raging sea, violent and raging.

Tian Lingzi had no idea where the poison came from and let out a groan in pain.

At the same time, a chill rose behind him. Xia Chichi, who seemed to be unconscious, was suddenly stabbed in the back with a sword. Zhao Changhe, who seemed to be obedient due to the acupuncture, pulled out the Dragon Bird and slashed at his neck as if nothing had happened.

Tian Lingzi, whose meridians were already in severe pain and disorder due to the poison, was able to slap Long Que away with his backhand and dodge Xia Chichi's sword, showing his extraordinary cultivation level, which was even stronger than the poisonous spider!

However, Xia Chichi at this moment was no longer the same person as yesterday. He was not able to dodge completely after all. Bingpo followed him like a shadow and still cut through his ribs, leaving a long cut. The sharp white tiger sword energy burst out violently, causing Tian Lingzi to scream again and fly back to the corner of the house, gasping for breath while holding his ribs.

The adulterous couple, swords in hand, surrounded them from both sides.

"Your acupoints aren't sealed at all!" Tian Lingzi was really incredulous: "Your acupoints aren't sealed, and you're not poisoned. Is this place your home?"

Zhao Changhe was stunned by what he said, and laughed: "Maybe."

Tian Lingzi was so angry that he almost laughed: "Since you two weren't poisoned, why didn't you take advantage of my loss of vigilance to attack me? You even deliberately let me seal your acupoints, aren't you taking off your pants to fart!"

"Brother..." Zhao Changhe smiled slightly. "He ranks 58th on the list of poisonous spiders and has mastered amazing poison techniques. Why would such a person cooperate with you? From what I heard about you arranging the ambush on Chi Chi, it seems that you are more in control?"

Tian Lingzi remained silent.

Zhao Changhe said, "It only proves that you are not just an ordinary city gang leader who can only swallow his anger when being forced by Gang Leader Qian. Your real strength is only higher than that of Poison Spider. My husband and I are not sure that we can surprise such a master, so of course we can only weaken you a little more."

Tian Lingzi looked inside himself and found it incredible: "But how did I get poisoned?"

Zhao Changhe pointed at the black jade token in his left hand and said, "Now that you know that the two of us are fine in the poison, can't you think of something? There are some things that I can take, but you can't. It's meaningless to use me to go through the poison."

Tian Lingzi threw the token to the ground angrily. The jade stone hit the ground with a crisp sound, but not even a corner was broken.

Zhao Changhe said calmly: "Chi Chi hates you very much. The two of us are doing this not to get anything, but just to kill you."
