Chapter 23 Yin-Yang Stream (Part 11) Watch closely, I'll only eat once…
Just as Song San guessed, after nightfall, a blood moon suddenly appeared, and the demon in the quicksand with a severed arm crawled out of the pit and poured into Huanxi Village.
Then the sounds of chopping and hacking echoed in the courtyard. Yu Qi dealt with the demons on the ground as easily as slicing melons. By the time Song San stepped out of the room, he had already taken out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the bloodstains off the wooden sword.
The blood of the demon was viscous and emitted a strong, fishy stench. Yu Qi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. While wiping his sword, he looked up at Song San and Gu Lianzhou and said, "What are you doing out here? Taking my place?"
Song San shifted his gaze from the neatly torn wound on the demon's body to Yu Qi, "If you eat your food and use your things, you'll have to pay some fees."
Having said that, she took off the three-inch-long jade gourd from her waist, opened the lid, poured a glistening pill into her palm, and bent down to straighten the demon's head.
Seeing her actions, Yu Qi frowned and blurted out, "Dirty."
That sorcerer had died countless times under his sword, his body riddled with bloody holes, his face rotten beyond recognition, with only black and red flesh clinging to his skull, his eyeballs hanging precariously from their sockets. When she moved them, the fleshy beads were completely severed from their ties and rolled "roll" into the dust.
Gu Lianzhou subconsciously took half a step back—
Ordinary monsters are not scary, at least not as disgusting as this.
The demon, having benefited from being "human," dressed like an ordinary person, even wearing shoes woven from rattan. Now, he has been hacked to pieces, a sight that sends chills down one's spine.
Gu Lianzhou's throat tightened, and he felt a surge of acid reflux. Unable to hold it in any longer, he turned around and vomited violently.
Amidst the chaos, Song San crouched down, dislocated the demon's jaw, and stuffed the pill inside.
"What do you feed them?" Yu Qi asked again, but his mouth was dry and his voice was hoarse and dull.
He never expected Song San to do this.
The sticky, slippery skin and flesh slowly adhered to the fingers, and when they separated, they were pulled out into long threads. The person seemed completely oblivious, calmly and patiently feeding the pills into the demon's mouth.
Seeing that half a bottle of medicine had been used up, Song San pulled out a burlap cloth from his waist, wiped his fingertips hastily, and said, "Corpse Dissolving Pill."
He casually tossed the burlap onto the demon, and listening to the sudden "sizzling" sound in his ear, he explained, "The corpse-dissolving water is not easy to preserve, so I made some improvements and turned it into a pill. It is coated with a layer of sugar as sweet as honey. Once the sugar coating dissolves in water, the medicinal effect will take effect."
Yu Qi and Gu Lianzhou were dumbfounded.
The point is, what's with the sugar coating? What's the point of a warlock carrying around a corpse-dissolving pill? Are you suggesting that if you don't like someone, you'll give them a "sugar pill" and kill them?
Gu Lianzhou stared at the slowly dissolving "corpse" on the ground and fell into a long silence.
Just how many skills does his senior brother possess that he doesn't know about?
Song San pressed the bottle cap back on, hung the jade gourd back on his waist, and explained, "You said before that after a demon is killed, it will disappear the next day. It is likely that it returned to the quicksand through some unknown magic array. After a day, when the evil energy is full, it will sew up its remains and return to the human world. Today I will try this Corpse-Dissolving Pill."
She laughed and said, "I'd like to see how a dissolved corpse can still cause trouble."
These words were so reasonable that no one could find fault with them.
Yu Qi swallowed hard, and when he looked up again, a fawning smile appeared on his face.
He held up his wooden sword, bowed to Song San, and said, "Brother Song, you are truly a man of great talent. I admire you greatly."
He took a step back, then another, moving far away from the pool of blood on the ground, and far away from Song San and Gu Lianzhou.
What kind of corpse-dissolving water or corpse-dissolving pills are these? Who exactly is this Song San? And how could he know about these evil and unorthodox methods?
I had only thought of him as an insignificant minor sorcerer from a sect, but I never imagined he would be so ruthless.
Looking at Gu Lianzhou standing to the side, his face was blank, just like a fool, clearly unaware of his senior brother's "magical treasures".
Yu Qi, you really are a pushover, letting such a person into your home.
"What are you afraid of? I'm not going to eat you."
Song San found it strange. "The number of demons you have killed is countless, no less than the bloody scene today. I consider myself to be decisive and efficient, but I am not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately. What is it that you, Brother Yu, cannot see? You should put your doubts to yourself. This is just a small contribution from me."
Yu Qi twitched the corner of his mouth.
With such meager efforts, whose cotton is so prickly?
Seeing that Yu Qi's eyes remained wary, Song San couldn't help but sigh, took the small jade bottle from his waist again, poured out a pill, and said, "Watch closely."
After uttering those three words, she opened her mouth and threw the pill into it.
"What are you doing!" Yu Qi and Gu Lianzhou exclaimed in unison.
Song San puffed out his cheeks and chewed the Corpse-Dissolving Pills like sugar pills, making a "crunching" sound. He said with a normal expression, "As you can see, the Corpse-Dissolving Pills are only effective on corpses. Even if I chew this whole bottle of pills today, I will not suffer the slightest harm."
I see.
Yu Qi finally came to his senses, feeling as if his soul had returned to its place. When he looked at Song San again, he found him much more pleasing to the eye and couldn't help but marvel, "There are such miraculous medicines in the world. Brother Song, I have truly seen the light today."
Seeing his expression, Song San couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's my fault for not making things clear beforehand. Besides, this isn't really medicine, so I don't want Doctor Liu to hear it."
Yu Qi dared not disobey and immediately nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes, if that medical fanatic hears this, he might arrest me and use me as a medicine man. I dare not let him know."
Judging from his words, this must be his first time being that so-called "drug person." Song San looked up at the sky, feeling drowsy and still not enough sleep. So he raised his hand and bowed to him, then pulled Gu Lianzhou over, saying, "Go back and get some more sleep."
"Senior brother."
Following her lead, Gu Lianzhou shuffled into the house, his voice soft but tinged with dejection, "Why did you have to prove yourself like that?"
The latch was pulled down, and Song San turned to look at the displeased young master, tilting his head with a hint of confusion in his eyes. "What is it?"
Are you taking sugar pills?
“Yu Qi already distrusts me. If I hadn’t taken the Corpse-Dissolving Pill in front of him, how could I have gained his trust?” Song San reached out and hovered on Young Master Gu’s shoulder, about to land, then suddenly chuckled, “Why are you upset that I took the sugar pill?”
Five fingers fell down and patted lightly.
"Alright, alright, if there's a next time, I'll let you have it." She smiled maliciously. "Others want to eat it but don't have it. Song San's Corpse-Dissolving Pill is unique to this brand."
This person...
Gu Lianzhou felt as if someone had scratched his heart, a burning pain throbbing in a place he couldn't touch or feel.
He was probably frightened by his senior brother's bold actions tonight.
Or perhaps, just as they worry about their master's health, they are concerned about the unknown consequences of their senior brother taking medicine haphazardly.
His senior brother was unrestrained in his actions, unlike anyone he had ever met before, making him difficult to understand.
This made him very uneasy.
-
The sun rises in the east, its rays shining brightly.
Amidst Yu Qi's pitiful howls, Song San slowly opened his eyes, gently lifted the blanket, shuffled to the door in his slippers, removed the latch, and walked out with his toothbrush cup.
Yu Laoqi's wails continued: "Liu—Dai! Liu Xingchuan! You can't take revenge for personal reasons, I've always treated you well—"
"Master Liu, please be gentle, I know I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong..."
Song San looked up and saw Yu Qi sitting in front of Liu Dai with one arm bare, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace as he turned his head and roared angrily.
Like a wild dog being choked by the scruff of its neck.
The boy's well-defined muscles were taut, and the slightly bulging blue veins on his fair skin were particularly striking.
His right arm, which he usually used, was exposed. He must have twisted his joint from overexertion while slaying the demon last night, and was currently receiving treatment from Liu Dai.
Song San chewed on a willow twig and looked away.
"Don't make any vulgar noises. If I don't use some force, how can I maximize the effectiveness of the medicine?" Liu Dai's actions were ruthless, causing Yu Qi to groan in pain.
"What medicine did you give me? It's so spicy, ahhh—" Yu Qi turned her head to look at the scarlet color in the mortar and pestle, her lips twitching slightly. "What is this? Liu Xingchuan, don't do anything reckless."
Liu Dai slapped the guy on the back in an annoyed tone and said, "It's a blood-activating and stasis-removing medicine, so what if it's a little spicy? Just bear with it."
As if remembering something, he added, "This is water pepper, a rare medicinal herb. You're lucky today, kid. You should be secretly happy to receive my water pepper!"
"Water pepper? Isn't that just a seasoning?" Yu Qi was struck dumb. "Liu Xingchuan, do you think I'm a delicacy?"
Song San spat out the water in his mouth with a "pfft," then bent over laughing, his body trembling.
When I looked up again, there was a pair of black and gold cloth boots in front of me.
Gu Lianzhou walked up to her silently. Seeing her laughing heartily, he laughed along with her. "Brother Yu and Doctor Liu are really close. They made quite a scene early in the morning."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Dai suddenly said with great distress, "Do you know how much a single water pepper is worth in this dilapidated village?"
Whether from pain or disgust, Yu Qi nearly rolled her eyes to the sky: "What we eat and drink isn't produced and consumed by ourselves? Have we spent a single copper coin of yours, Liu Dai?"
Liu Dai said irritably, "If I hadn't been trying to pick a water pepper, I wouldn't have fallen into the river, and I wouldn't have found you in the water. You are all thanks to this water pepper."
"Ha, it's no exaggeration to say that this water pepper is your second parent. Come on, good child, call me 'Dad' so I can hear it."
Song San and Gu Lianzhou squatted together under the big tree in the yard, watching the chaos unfold before them, wishing they had a handful of melon seeds in their hands.
The performances on the stage outside are not as spectacular as those here.
It certainly amused their eyes.
Song San exclaimed "Huh?", turned to look at Gu Lianzhou, and asked, "What did Doctor Liu just say?"
Gu Lianzhou blinked, uncertainly asking, "Should we have Brother Yu call...Father?"
“Not that sentence.” Song San held up two fingers, pinched his chin and rubbed them. Suddenly, as if someone had unlocked his secrets, he slowly opened his eyes wide.
She slapped her thigh loudly, "Dr. Liu has actually fallen into the water before, Gu Lianzhou, do you think it's possible?"
Song San looked up at the two people playing around not far away, his heart pounding wildly, "Is it possible that you, me, Yu Qi, and Liu Dai all fell into the same river?"
"And that river is very likely the reason we entered Huanxi Village."
