"I didn't expect him to be such a kind and kind brother. But I underestimated him."
After saying that, the shopkeeper lowered his sword.
Zhang Shan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the savior, and waved desperately as if he was afraid that the two of them couldn't see him.
The Yuan Beast chasing Zhang Shan was only at the second level. When he saw the two men flying with their swords, they were so frightened that they stopped suddenly. Their limbs shoveled mud flying. After stopping, they fled into the jungle.
"You don't believe me when I tell you not to follow me. I'm just outside the area and I almost lost my life." the shopkeeper scolded.
"If I had known that you were going to enter the mountain range now, I shouldn't have told you his location. With your cultivation level, it's simply a waste of your life to enter the inner realm." Mu Qianxue also scolded.
Zhang Shan scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Brother Lu has saved me one after another, and I, Zhang Shan, am not an ungrateful person. Now that the eldest brother is gone, of course, as the younger brother, I have to come and see him off. You know, just
With my cultivation conditions, if I am afraid of wolves before and tigers behind, I may never be able to enter the inner realm for the rest of my life. Anyway, I promised my eldest brother that I would go through fire and water, so what does this little danger mean?"
Seeing Zhang Shan's pitiful look, Mu Qianxue thought of something and suggested: "Seeing how affectionate and righteous he is, I think otherwise, it's not far from the city anyway, so I'll just walk back, and the shopkeeper can use me
My flying sword took him there again, but his wish was granted. What do you think?"
The shopkeeper said helplessly: "What else can I do? I can't just watch my inn employees die."
In this way, Zhang Shan caught up with Shunfeng Sword.
Normally, Zhang Shan, who is from the countryside in the monk world, would have to boast about this legendary flying treasure. Moreover, he would even sit on a flying sword and talk about the value of life.
.
But now that he was riding a sword to pay homage to his good brother, how could he still have the interest to think about those things that were there and not there? He felt heavy and did not say a word.
Finally arrived at the destination.
Zhang Shan looked at Lu Shiba's tombstone and the fresh food on the ground, bowed respectfully three times, and said, "I dare to ask the shopkeeper, how did my eldest brother die?"
The shopkeeper replied: "I don't know the specifics. It is said that he died of poison from Xuanhuangcao."
"You want to see people alive, and you want to see corpses when you die. My eldest brother is a master of poison. I don't believe he will die from the poison of Xuanhuangcao."
Zhang Shan said as he dug up earth and moved rocks, it was necessary to find out what happened.
The shopkeeper did not stop Zhang Shan. In fact, before Zhang Shan did this, she would bring the inn chef Fan Dachun over to dig into the details. She knew that Mu Qianxue was not lying, but she still felt that something was fishy. As for
I can't tell what the problem is, but if I see Lu Shiba's body, I might be able to find some clues.
After a while, Zhang Shan finished handling all the collapsed earth and rocks, and a new cave entrance was exposed.
"The poison of Xuanhuangcao is not a trivial matter. After you get down, listen to my instructions and don't act rashly." The shopkeeper warned solemnly.
Zhang Shan nodded solemnly.
As a result, the two of them stepped into the bottom with their swords.
At this time, the sun was falling into the cave, and a corpse appeared in front of us, lying on the ground. The skeleton was gray and black, and it looked a bit scary.
Zhang Shan looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes turned red, and he said: "These are eldest brother's clothes, and those are also eldest brother's beast elixir."
In fact, this beast pill belongs to Li Xiaotian, but it is not the late fourth-order beast pill that Zheng Xinlan gave him, but the early fifth-order beast pill that Mu Qianxue gave to Li Xiaotian. With Zhang Shan’s cultivation
Since he couldn't tell the difference, he thought this beast pill was the one Zheng Xin gave to Li Xiaotian.
The shopkeeper frowned and thought: "Does this mean that this corpse is really his?"
"The facts are in front of us. I have to believe it. Please forgive me." The shopkeeper sighed. Even so, he still had doubts in his heart, so he took out a small jade bottle and scraped some ashes into it.
Zhang Shan, on the other hand, was immersed in sadness and did not care about what the shopkeeper did.
After getting out of the ground, Zhang Shan sadly blocked the entrance to the cave, put up a wooden sign, poured a pot of wine, bowed three times, and finally left with the shopkeeper.
After returning to the inn, the shopkeeper first returned the flying sword to Mu Qianxue, and then took some time to go out.
Ten Thousand Medicine Hall.
"Hey, isn't this the manager of the Random Inn? What kind of wind has brought you to our Ten Thousand Medicine Hall? You're so radiant."
The speaker was an old man named Zhong Ping, who was the manager of Wanyao Hall. He looked skinny, but his eyes were bright. With his white hair and goatee, he had the temperament of a master of medicine.
The shopkeeper got straight to the point: "I don't have anything to do without going to the Three Treasures Hall. Mr. Zhong, let me tell you straight away. I have something that I need you to help me identify."
When Zhong Ping heard this, he beamed and said, "If the shopkeeper can visit me personally, this must be some kind of precious medicinal material. There are many people here, so come and let me talk."
Zhong Ping led the shopkeeper to a guest room.
"The shopkeeper can take it out." Zhong Ping signaled.
So, the shopkeeper took out a small jade bottle and said: "To be honest, I didn't come to Mr. Zhong to identify medicinal materials, but I wanted Mr. Zhong to help identify poisons."
Zhong Ping squinted his eyes, with the word "Sichuan" appearing on his forehead. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a moment, he suddenly said: "I can help you detect this poison, but next time I go back to your inn, I will eat and drink for free."
The shopkeeper said boldly: "Don't talk about the next time, as long as Mr. Zhong comes, it will always be free."
"That's a good relationship." Zhong Ping smiled, paused, and then said, "Just wait for me and come back as soon as you go. There should be results soon."
The shopkeeper hurriedly warned: "This poison is unusual. Please be careful, Mr. Zhong."
Zhong Ping waved his hand and said: "Understood."
As soon as he entered the room, Zhong Ping's face instantly became serious. When he opened the bottle, he was surprised and looked a little panicked. He muttered: "It can't be such a coincidence!"
Then he took out a silver needle as thin as a hair and dipped it in the bottle. Then he took out a small bottle and put the silver needle into it and stirred it. After counting, Zhong Ping was shocked when he saw it and quickly closed it.
Stopper murmured: "You can't blame me for this, I can't help myself!"
After a while, Zhong Ping returned to the room where the shopkeeper was and handed the bottle to her.
The shopkeeper asked: "Mr. Zhong, how are you doing?"
Zhong Ping shook his head and said: "This poison can be said to be the most poisonous thing I have ever seen in my life. Forgive me for my limited experience, it seems to be a poison with no cure. It seems that my life-long free wine and food will be in vain.
"
The shopkeeper smiled and replied: "Mr. Zhong is serious. Although the identification results have not been obtained, you still enjoy the free privileges of Sui Sui Inn."
Zhong Ping teased: "I was entrusted by someone to be loyal, but since it didn't work out, let's just forget about the free privileges for life. It's just a one-time exemption."
"Mr. Zhong is really very particular about people. Now that the matter is done, I won't bother you anymore. If you have time, come to Suiran Inn and I'll greet you."
"good."
With that said, the shopkeeper said goodbye and left.
"It seems that the person at the bottom of the cave is really Lu Shiba, and Lu Shiba was really poisoned by Xuanhuangcao and died."
At this point, the shopkeeper basically accepted the fact that Lu Shiba was dead. However, there was still a slight feeling that something was not right, and Quan Danggui became suspicious.
After this time.
Mu Qianxue stayed in the Suiran Inn for nearly a week, drinking to drown her sorrows almost every day.
On this day, she finally left with her sword. I don't know if she had really figured it out, or if the wine could really relieve her sorrow and make her think clearly.
One day, the shopkeeper gave Zhang Shan a task, asking him to go to the General's Mansion in Shang'an City to tell the news that Lu Shiba had passed away.
After all, the person is his, and now that he is gone, he should be the one to say something.
On the way from the Mugao Mountains to Shang'an City, there was one thing that puzzled Li Xiaotian. For several days in a row, he sneezed more than a dozen times a day. According to the old man in Lijiagou Village, the sneezing was caused by someone.
Talking about you.
This made Li Xiaotian puzzled. His parents were gone, so who was it that missed him so much?
After much deliberation, it can only be someone I met in the Mugao Mountains.
The shopkeeper is busy thinking about General Yu every day, so he can rule it out.
Chef Fan thinks about cooking every day and has no time.
Zheng Xinlan, it's not like a one-sided relationship.
Mu Qianshan, it's impossible for a grown man to think about me.
Zhang Shan, who has saved him so many times, is probably still working as a waiter now, and is counting on me to go back and take him out of his misery. There is no doubt that he is the one to be chosen.
But, there’s no need to think about it so often, right?
Haqiu!
Li Xiaotian had just solved the case in his mind when he unexpectedly sneezed again.
"If he hadn't been able to enter Mugao City, he would have been beaten up."
Li Xiaotian said angrily, thinking that there was a grown man in the distance who was obsessed with him, he couldn't help but shuddered and felt sick.
