Chapter 30: Another knife
Outside the city, thatched huts.
When Wen Yuzhai pushed the door and came in, he saw a smile lying motionless on the straw mat.
Since Shuang Xie and Jiang Muchan have only three people in total, they really can't free up anyone to visit Xiao Wuji, so before the three of them went to deal with the Fire Lotus Sect today, they first gave Xiao Wuji some medicine and left him alone in this thatched hut.
Anyway, this guy is a disfigured man, and he is penniless, and even if he is discovered, nothing will happen.
Let’s take a step back and say... If something really happened, he could also think that he deserved it.
"Oh... you can find this, you really have a way." Although Xiao Wuji lay there and couldn't move, and could only look at the ceiling, he still knew that the person entering the room was Wen Yuzhai.
If you want to say why, there is nothing else - because he has smelled the smell on the other person.
As the saying goes, men smell bad, women smell bad.
Although this is a common situation, it is obviously not an absolute statement.
Men... can also be fragrant.
Take the smell of the body of the jade pick for example: the fragrance of books, tea, and the smell of clean clothes being sunny in the sun. These alone are enough to cover the person's own body odor. If you wear a sachet that is not too strong but has a long and long distance, the smell may smell better than that of a girl's house.
What is "Kaotang Young Master"?
Not only do you think you look handsome, but you speak nicely, but you can’t even find any fault when you smell it.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, why did Brother Xiao look like this?" Wen Yuzhai also knew that the other party had recognized him instantly, so he didn't pretend to be mysterious. He walked to Xiao Wuji's side in a few steps, and deliberately poked his head into the other party's sight, and sarcastically said from a high point.
"Hmph, ask me knowingly." Xiao Wuji rolled his eyes, too lazy to say more.
"Haha..." Wen Yuzhai really thought this was funny, "I never expected that you could fall into the hands of the same two people twice in such a short time... It seems that Dongxixi and Xidu are indeed capable."
"Oh..." Xiao Wuji could only sigh, "I don't know whether they have the ability in martial arts, but if you want to say 'playing with a yin', even I, a bandit, have to be reluctant to give in."
"Okay, I won't bury you anymore..." Wen Yuzhai saw that Xiao Wuji had already admitted his defeat, so he stopped making fun of each other. After all, they were both gentlemen, unlike Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, who could quarrel with each other for several hours without any repetition. "I have a bottle of antidote here, you can try it first."
"Hey?" Xiao Wuji heard this and said suspiciously, "Where did you get the antidote? Could it be that you have seen Huang Dong come before you came here?"
"No~No~" While speaking, Wen Yuzhai had already taken out a small bottle from his arms. "This is just a common antidote I carry with me on weekdays. I don't know if it can be used to relieve the poison you are infected with, so I said 'Try it'."
"If you don't know, you dare to give me a drink?" Xiao Wuji said, and paused, "Where am I going to die of drinking?"
"Ha...how could it be? I'm not a random medicine." Wen Yuzhai smiled and said in a leisurely manner, "The poison used in this world to numb others but not take human life can be roughly divided into three types...
"The first type is to make people feel unconscious; this kind of pharmacology is the simplest, and many people can prepare it, and sweating drugs belong to this type.
"The second type is to make people feel numb or weak due to meridian blockage in a state of still awakeness; this kind of pharmacology is much more complicated than the first type, and many flower-picking thieves use this kind of medicine, but the disadvantages of this second type are also obvious - after being infected with this poison, people with strong skills can use internal force to release meridian acupoints, so that the time for this medicine to take effect is shorter, or even completely ineffective.
"The third type is to paralyze part of the human nerves, keep people completely awake but unable to move at all; this... Although the effect is similar to the second type, it is much more difficult to modulate than the second type. Usually only the masters who use poison can adjust it... And once this third type of poison is captured, it will be difficult for even masters to remove it by their own strength."
When Wen Yuzhai talked about this, Xiao Wuji had already understood in his heart: when he was in the ruins of the temple a few days ago, what Huang Donglai gave him should be the second type of poison. Today, it is probably because no one is taking care of him, so Huang Donglai gave him the third type to be on the safe side.
On the other hand, Wen Yuzhai didn't know what Xiao Wuji was thinking, but continued: "The three great masters of the Yellow Sect are famous in the world. As the young master of the Yellow Sect, Huang Donglai can naturally adjust the third poison. I see that you are now very similar..." He said this, shook the bottle in his hand, "Although this third poison itself has a wide variety of varieties and different prescriptions, the toxicology is generally the same, so even if the antidote in my hand cannot be completely detoxified, it can relieve some of the toxicity in your body."
"Wow~ You can pick your jade." Hearing this, Xiao Wuji felt much more at ease, so his tone became relaxed. "It is rumored that your Caotang Gongzi is a piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers, tea, medicine, astrology, astronomy, gossip... It seems that what he said is not false."
"It's just 'proficient', just 'understand'." Wen Yuzhai said, and was already kneeling on one knee, holding Xiao Wuji's head with his left hand, and pouring the liquid from the bottle into Xiao Wuji's mouth with his right hand. "Take this toxicology as an example. In the eyes of the young master of the Yellow Sect, this thing I know is at most a fur..."
"Hey? Then, if you take this medicine, are there any mistakes?" Xiao Wuji finished drinking the medicine and asked this question out of caution.
"What if?" Unexpectedly, Wen Yuzhai really answered, "Ha... Yes." He paused for a moment and smiled, "What if Huang Donglai gave you a unique recipe specially prepared today, only a completely correct antidote can be solved. Once you come into contact with the incorrect antidote, you will die of poison... Then you should be dead soon."
"You said it after you finished feeding me?" Xiao Wuji immediately widened his eyes.
"Ha... don't worry, I'm joking with you." Wen Yuzhai was very calm and sat down cross-legged.
Wen Yuzhai naturally knew that this "if" actually did not exist, and he was just joking with Xiao Wuji.
If Shuang Xie is really acting with the idea of "even if Xiao Wuji dies, he must not let him escape", then they will have to find someone to visit Xiao Wuji. Even if they really can't find a suitable candidate, at least they should tie Xiao Wuji up with iron chains and imprison him in a place that is difficult to escape... instead of throwing him in a thatched hut like in front of him without even bundles.
Furthermore, if an irrelevant person passes here today and accidentally finds Xiao Wuji and is persuaded to save him, the man will not take any antidote to Xiao Wuji. He just needs to carry Xiao Wuji to another place and wait for the poison to automatically fail.
Of course, these accounts that Wen Yuzhai can settle clearly in an instant are probably something that no one would have thought of.
To put it short, Wen Yuzhai stayed beside Xiao Wuji and chatted with him for a while. The antidote was indeed effective. Although Xiao Wuji did not completely recover immediately, it quickly relieved his symptoms.
After about an hour, Xiao Wuji's ability to move has recovered by about 70%.
"I owe you one time today, there will be a period of time later." After adjusting your breathing for a while, Xiao Wuji stood up and said something and was about to leave.
"Slow." Wen Yuzhai saw this and immediately called out to the other party, "What do you owe this time, will I pay it back immediately?"
Xiao Wuji stopped, remained silent for two seconds, and continued: "Do you still want me to help you deal with Xiao Zhun?"
Xiao Wuji obviously remembered the last conversation in the cottage, but the last time he refused Wen Yuzhu and left without asking about the situation.
"That's right." Wen Yuzhai didn't beat around the bush and replied bluntly.
"Isn't it enough to have Hai Cangfeng help you?" Xiao Wuji said again.
"What do you think?" Wen Yuzhai asked back.
Xiao Wuji knew the answer to this question, so he continued, "Is it enough to add me?"
"Of course I've not only found you two." Wen Yuzhai said.
"Oh?" Xiao Wuji felt a little curious when he heard this, "Who else?"
Wen Yuzhai felt that the other party had already taken the bait, so he told the truth: "The Three-character King."
"That killer?"
"That killer."

"I heard his sword is fast."
"Soon, maybe faster than you in the past."
"Ha... maybe, but even so, it's not enough for the four of us to enter Wujian Villa."
"Not four."
"How many people are there?"
"Seven people except me."
"Who are there four people?"
"Oh..." Wen Yuzhai couldn't help but sigh, "I'm worried too... This 'Four Swords and Three Swords' is not easy to get together."
When Xiao Wuji heard this keyword, he immediately reacted: "Do you want to recreate the 'Seven Swords Formation'?"
Wen Yuzhai originally wanted to say, "I am worthy of being the young owner of Wujian Villa, and I am very knowledgeable." But he knew that Xiao Wuji hated that identity very much, so he could only bury this sentence in his heart and continued, "If you nod, you will have two swords and one sword."
Xiao Wuji did not answer the conversation immediately, and he fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Wuji spoke again and said, "Okay, I'm the one."
"Are you serious?" Wen Yuzhai was very happy to see that this old friend was willing to participate in this major event that contributed to the righteous martial arts world, so he rarely showed a hint of excitement.
"Ha... If I don't want to agree, I'll just refuse you directly. Is it necessary to lie to you?" Xiao Wuji replied, and the tone changed immediately. "Not only did I promise you to join the 'Four Swords and Three Swords', I can also recommend 'One Sword' to you, but... I can't guarantee whether he is willing to come."
"Oh?" Wen Yuzhai raised his eyebrows and asked immediately, "Who are you talking about?"
