Looking at the monster squirming in the ice in front of him, Chen Yanjun held his breath and tried to tell himself that this was the Xianwu Tang Dynasty, not some weird world.
If you look closely, there seems to be a black deformed worm in the frozen space.
At first glance, it looks like some kind of insect, but upon closer inspection, it has human characteristics. The bones are mutated, the muscles are twisted, and the blood vessels are exposed into various sticky spiral shapes.
The two big eyes are bright and bright, but they appear where they shouldn't.
The look was not only disgusting, but also a kind of sting that touched the human soul.
Especially a pair of big pale eyes, staring straight at Chen Yanjun, vaguely revealing a kind of compassion that only belongs to humans.
Even if it is frozen, this monster can still squirm slowly in the solid ice, but it can't break through the external seal.
Chen Yanjun was fascinated and asked subconsciously:
"Is this a newly discovered strange beast?"
"This is Fan Yu."
Fang Qunyu frowned slightly, turned to look at Chen Yanjun, and was particularly surprised by his calmness.
After all, it was difficult for him to suppress the shock and excitement like Chen Yanjun when he saw this monster for the first time.
"However, your talk about strange beasts inspired me... maybe it really has something to do with strange beasts."
In fact, Chen Yanjun just saw the shadow of Fan Yu in these big, bright eyes.
"Why did Fan Yu become like this?"
Fang Qunyu's eyes were dull and her expression was complicated. She turned around and poured a cup of hot tea. The tea still smelled of alcohol.
He did not pour tea for Chen Yanjun, but drank it himself while calming down.
"I have investigated Fan Yu's residence. He probably received a large amount of money and intended to harm you. Although he also took poisonous mushrooms in order to deceive your trust, he took a special antidote in advance."
Fan Yu intends to harm me?
Chen Yanjun's heart skipped a beat and he was a little scared.
As a time traveler, he is not afraid of monsters or demonic illusions, but he is afraid of someone trying to harm him.
And the action is done behind the back... The time traveler is afraid that someone will shoot a cold arrow from behind.
In addition, another ominous premonition slowly came to mind.
After eating the same mushroom, Fan Yu turned into a monster. Could he...
Seeing that Chen Yanjun finally became anxious, Fang Qunyu explained with a smile:
"The problem lies in the antidote, which speeds up the spread of poison."
"If I hadn't found Fan Yu's body in time and brought it back here, he might have turned into a man-eating monster."
It just speeds up the spread of poison... The more Chen Yanjun listened, the more uncomfortable he became.
"You mean, I also..."
Fang Qunyu shook his head, shook his head halfway, and suddenly nodded again, making Chen Yanjun's face turn pale with fright.
Then he said:
"This is a poison whose origin I cannot determine. It mainly affects the soul and Dantian. Fan Yu has become like this, but you are safe and sound."
Chen Yanjun quickly looked at the status bar of the add-dot panel.
[Status: Extraordinary physique, full of blood and essence.]
He clearly remembered that the first state after the panel appeared was: the poison had dissipated and there was no serious problem.
What exactly did he do to rid his body of toxins?
Fang Qunyu was also puzzled, and then took him to another hospital where the living bodies and corpses of spiritual beasts were stored.
"What's frozen here are bugs, spiritual beasts, and ordinary beasts that have been injected with Fan Yu's blood..."
"Signs of mild mutation similar to Fan Yu's were found in the spirit beasts."
Chen Yanjun couldn't help but guess that this poison was probably just a soul poison.
After the poison controls the soul, it forcibly drives the Dantian and distorts the human body.
The process of time travel is the process of the new soul forcibly occupying the old soul, and it is likely to destroy the poison that is occupying the old soul.
"Probably my mortal status saved my life."
Chen Yanjun said casually.
Fang Qunyu took a big sip of tea with the leaves attached and said:
"Ordinary beasts and bugs have not yet mutated, but they are all in an alternating state of coma and madness."
"It's understandable that you don't have a Dantian, but your soul can resist the poison. It's a strange thing."
Saying this, he suddenly thrust his rough, dark face in front of Chen Yanjun's handsome fair face.
"Let me ask you, on the day of the Cold Food Festival, when you were dying of poisoning... did you have any visions?"
Chen Yanjun's heart tightened.
The second most feared thing for a time traveler has come: being discovered by others as a time traveler, or being treated as someone who has occupied the dove's nest.
He explained calmly:
"There wasn't any special vision. I could only vaguely see a Five Fingers Mountain towering into the black mist. I tried hard to see the top of the mountain but couldn't see it... Later, I also discovered a similar vision in the demonic illusion."
Chen Yanjun wanted to rely on the majestic balance of the five elements to explain his buried talent.
Fang Qunyu frowned.
"Illusion of demonic energy... You, a mortal, can see demons... Wait, you said you have entered the third realm?"
Your reflex arc is long enough... Chen Yanjun nodded:
"Um."
Fang Qunyu held his wrist roughly.
"The marrow cleansing was successful. I am in the third level of Qi nourishment. My physique is actually better than that of a ninth-grade martial artist, just short of being a first-grade martial artist."
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and his eyes were as bright as seeing a unique experimental subject.
"Tell me, what is your demonic illusion?"
Chen Yanjun felt a little confused and said:
"I vaguely saw twelve giant beasts that I had never seen before coming to Chang'an, bringing twelve kinds of disasters, pollution of spiritual energy, loss of life, and even the collapse of buildings."
Fang Qunyu frowned and fell into deep thought.
This is the most dangerous doomsday scene in the demonic fantasy world. This kid is still alive and kicking. Is he mentally abnormal at all?
Moreover, is there a specific number of twelve?
Chen Yanjun continued:
"Later, when I was cleansing my marrow, I once again entered a similar illusion of demonic energy. I persisted all night, and at dawn I entered the third state of nourishing qi."
Fang Qunyu stared at Chen Yanjun for a long time, speechless.
Such a genius, he has only discovered it now!
Immediately, he raised his finger and poked it between Chen Yanjun's eyebrows.
He drew out a drop of blood essence, pondered for a long time, then looked at the mutated spiritual beast, gritting his teeth and not tasting it himself as usual.
"You have an extraordinary bearing. You don't seem to be someone who is deliberately hiding. Once you have gone through hell, the poison that cannot kill you actually makes your spirit stronger."
Chen Yanjun wiped his forehead smoothly.
"Have I been cleared of toxins?"
After some appraisal, Fang Qunyu shook his head and said:
"There are no more toxins in your blood."
"It may be that your special soul suppresses it and changes the poison, or even fuses the poison into a part of your soul."
"On the contrary, you borrowed the power of poison to invisibly strengthen your soul, and then you entered the third realm of nourishing qi as a mortal."
Chen Yanjun frowned, it seemed to make sense, but he felt something was wrong.
The traveler's soul shouldn't need any poison to enhance it, and more importantly, his body fluids and blood are not poisonous.
This means that when he and his wife practice dual cultivation in the future, the poison should not infect her, let alone pass it on to the next generation!
After Fang Qunyu said this, she took out a small packet of medicine from her sleeve and threw it to Chen Yanjun.
"This is a specially made tranquilizer. You can take one pill every ten days. It may be good for you."
or……
Chen Yanjun asked carefully:
"Isn't this thing almost as effective as Fan Yu's antidote?"
Fang Qunyu's eyes twitched slightly, and she shook her head coldly:
"Is my reputation so bad?"
Chen Yanjun hurriedly bowed and said:
"Thank you, Assistant Professor Fang!"
Then he asked carefully:
"Doesn't this matter need to be reported to the Lord Jijiu or the Prison Supervisor?"
Fang Qunyu said fearlessly:
"Doctor Tan please come over and take a look. I trust her vision and interest in this matter... I will report it when there are further research results, or when the Prison Suppression Department catches the headless Gu."
Talk about Doctor...
Only then did Chen Yanjun understand why Dr. Tan spent all night studying strange beasts.
Dr. Xie also believes that this kind of monster is probably related to alien beasts.
Dr. Tan was a senior official of the Imperial College. Seeing that she knew about this, Chen Yanjun breathed a sigh of relief to prevent Assistant Professor Fang from walking alone.
Fang Qunyu said, then returned to the main ward, unlocked the ice seal on the morgue, and continued to study the monster named Fan Yu.
After studying for a long time, I found that Chen Yanjun hadn't left yet.
"Why are you still here?"
Chen Yanjun didn't want to miss the opportunity to quickly improve his medical skills, not to mention that his own poison had not yet been eliminated and he had to study it thoroughly.
"I see that there are many corpses here, as well as various living beasts, and I want to learn some anatomy from Assistant Professor Fang here... By the way, I also want to learn about the latest research on toxins."
Fang Qunyu was slightly startled, surprised by this young man's courage and initiative.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll dissect you?"
Chen Yanjun smiled. This incident has not happened so far, which means that Assistant Teacher Fang must have his own deep considerations.
"Assistant Professor Fang wanted to dissect me, but he actually had a hundred subtle ways to do it without even saying hello to me in advance."
"You are very brave."
Fang Qunyu was silent for a moment, nodded and said:
"Okay, since you are the person involved, you can study it with me... However, it must be kept confidential until the results come out."
Chen Yanjun was overjoyed and hurriedly said:
"Well, I'll go and inform Qiuzao first that I won't be going back tonight."
…
After leaving the underground ward, Chen Yanjun went straight to the beast ranch of the Royal Beast Yuan.
Du Qiuzhuo has a separate beast-taming room here because of his unique talent and cultivation of beast-taming.
After class, she would occasionally stay in the beast-taming room all night to train the beast-taming.
However, tomorrow is the Cui family meeting. She will definitely meet up with her family tonight and go to the Cui Mansion in Daozhengfang tomorrow.
When Chen Yanjun arrived, he attracted many male disciples from the Beast Control Room to look at him sideways.
The eyes of the female students were quite enthusiastic.
When Chen Yanjun found Du Qiuzhuo, she was training her two-headed poisonous anaconda to improve its body flexibility so that it would not be torn apart by the poisonous claws.
When she was with the spirit beast, Du Qiuzhuo lost all her cold airs and turned into a sweet girl, even cute.
This made Chen Yanjun's heart suddenly filled with fatherly love.
After hearing Chen Yanjun explain his purpose, Du Qiuzao put the poisonous anaconda into the talisman, and Qingtian's face turned cold.
"Tomorrow I will go to Cui's Mansion to meet my great-grandfather. You are going too. It's best to go home and prepare."
Chen Yanjun said:
"Preparation is your Cui family's business. I haven't married your mother yet. I am just a guest of the Cui family. There is no need to prepare anything."
As soon as he finished saying this, he heard an exclamation coming from outside the house!
There were sounds of astonishment, sounds of ecstasy, and female voices sighing...
Having said that, Du Qiuzao had heard many legends about Assistant Teacher Fang and was still a little worried.
"There is a curfew in the inner city. Are you sure you want to stay in Assistant Teacher Fang's underground hospital all night?"
Chen Yanjun smiled and said:
"If Assistant Professor Fang wants to harm me, there is no need to wait until now. What's more... My father can practice in the illusion of demonic energy. He is just learning medicine in Assistant Professor Fang's morgue. Isn't it scarier than watching himself wash his marrow with his eyes open?
?”
Du Qiuzhuo:
"..."
Chen Yanjun said again:
"It just so happens that Cui Mansion is located in Daozhengfang, only two squares away from here."
These two squares are the famous Pingkang Square and Dongshi in Chang'an City.
Pingkangfang is the seat of Jiaofangsi, which is an official brothel. There are many wives and daughters of convicts in it, and it is loved by some perverts.
Chen Yanjun's best friend Jiang Miao was born and raised in Pingkangfang.
Du Qiuzhuo's eyes turned cold and he said warily:
"Don't go to Pingkangfang to play."
Of course Chen Yanjun is not that kind of person. He is a good man who loves his wife. He quickly proved his innocence and said:
"Is there any fun at home in Pingkangfang?"
"you……"
Du Qiuzhao was slightly startled, and it took him a long time to understand what Chen Yanjun meant. He blushed, but quickly suppressed it with a frosty look on his face, and turned around and left without saying a word.
