“How slow?”
"From the time I drank it until I died, it took about a whole night, and I was in constant pain."
Ying Si picked up the half apple and sniffed it. The amount seemed just right. Could it be that the Second Young Lady had a special constitution and was resistant to the drug? That would be worth studying!
"Then just mix some slow-acting poisons and swallow them together. For example, mixing some Seven-Aperture Smoke Pills, Five Organs Splitting Gallbladder Pills, or Soul-Out-of-Body Pills can achieve the same effect."
. . .
"Ying Si, are you sure the names of those medicines are correct and not just made up by you?"
"I don't know, I like to be called that."
Okay, you really know how to name something. Let me see what name you can come up with when you have a child in the future!
"What about this one? What is it called?"
"The stomachache is unbearable."
Okay, that’s unnecessary to ask.
"I think you and Mr. Yao will probably be able to have a good chat." Xu Yixing muttered to himself, thinking of the male vixen, wondering if he had asked anything useful.
When Ying Si heard the name, he was like being electrocuted, and immediately became excited: "Mr. Yao? What Mr. Yao? What does he look like? Where is he? What is his identity?"
"Um, that's..."
"Ying Si! What are you doing!" Just when Xu Yixing was about to explain, the door of the underground palace suddenly opened, and a black shadow flashed in, standing between the two of them and quickly supporting Xu Yixing.
"Yingyi, you are here too?" Xu Yixing was sweating profusely, but her focus was not on the abdominal pain, so she didn't feel anything at the moment.
"Ridiculous! How dare you poison someone? Catch him!" Ying gave orders one by one, and two figures rushed in from outside the door immediately and pressed Ying Si to the ground. He did not resist.
"I didn't poison her. She just ate it because she was greedy." Ying Si felt aggrieved. They were fellow disciples, and now they treated him like this. He was really unhappy.
"Nonsense! Then why don't you give her the antidote!"
"Hey, don't, don't! Yingyi, Yingyi, please talk nicely!" Xu Yixing held Yingyi back. There were only nine of them, so why not break one here? "I ate them myself. He reminded me, but I didn't listen. I don't blame him."
Upon hearing this, Ying Yi frowned and thought for a while, as if wondering whether Ying Si had given the Second Miss a chronic poison, forcing her to say this.
Ying Yi walked forward and spoke to Ying Si who was lying on the ground. This scene, three masked thugs bullying a little novice monk, was a Buddhist tragedy no matter how you looked at it.
"Ying Si, I'm going to take all the poison and weapons from you now. Don't resist, or I'll kill you without mercy. I'll confirm that the second young lady has been cured of the poison before we discuss the rest."
Ying Si nodded, but because he was pressed down, he could only rub his face against the ground, making it dirty.
As soon as Ying stepped forward, he pulled out at least twenty small bags from his monk's robe. All of them were ugly and bulging. He also took out a poisoned Emei spear and two small darts.
Yingyi carefully took the things and sorted them out for a long time before picking out a bag and waving it in front of him: "Is this it?"
The child raised his head with difficulty, took a look, and then hummed through his nose to indicate that it was correct.
“Are you sure you want me to eat this?” This looks really dirty...
"This is the antidote, please take it without worry, Miss."
Xu Yixing didn't want to eat, but when he thought about the current situation and how it was caused by his careless eating, he felt a little guilty. "Okay."
I tilted my head back and swallowed it. There didn't seem to be any strange taste. After just a short while, my stomach felt much better.
"Oh! If you were with my...sister at that time, she wouldn't have been poisoned!" Xu Yixing looked at Ying Si lying on the ground and regretted not listening to the nanny earlier and just recognizing her master!
"Let him go."
Ying Si, who regained his freedom, stood up and looked at Xu Yixing unhappily.
"Yingjiu, is what Yingsi said true?" This voice was spoken to the air, but it received a response quickly.
"yes."
Yingyi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the poisoning was not intentional, there was still hope.
"Ying Si, you lost your temper today. I won't pursue the matter further when you go to receive your sentence."
"What punishment? That really has nothing to do with him..." Xu Yixing was really scared. Why was the shadow guard's rewards and punishments so unreasonable?
"Flog. Miss, there's no need to plead for him. Even if he didn't mean to, he watched you get poisoned and didn't detoxify you as soon as possible. Instead, he stood by and did nothing. He deserves the punishment."
Ying Si patted the dirt and tried to take the bags back, but Ying Yi put his hands behind his back and said, "I'll confiscate all of these. I'll return them to you in ten days. It's also a punishment."
"Ah? No way, I know I was wrong, I'm sorry, Miss!" When Ying Si saw that he was about to take his things, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and he bowed sincerely to apologize to Xu Yixing.
Xu Yixing tried to hold back his laughter, this fourth film was really funny.
"Ahem, actually, it's not without benefit for Ying Si to play with these poisons. If you want me to give you some face, just give them back to him."
Ying Yi couldn't help but say: "Yes."
"Don't be anxious. You've made me suffer so much. It's not too much for me to ask for some compensation, right? Come on, tell me the uses of these medicines!" Xu Yixing grinned evilly, staring at the medicine bags and making up his mind. If he could take some of them with him, they would be very useful.
"Don't have any bad ideas. I don't have antidotes for some of these things. If you use them carelessly, even Bodhisattva can't save your life." Ying Si quickly put all the medicine into his body while being vigilant to prevent Xu Yixing from stealing the medicine.
"But who is this Mr. Yao you just mentioned?"
"You want to know? Tell me about your medicine first."
Ying Si and Xu Yixing stared at each other for a long moment before finally stepping back and pulling out the small bags again. Under the watchful eyes of a third—no, four—man, the two of them whispered in the eerie underground palace, facing the Five Hundred Arhats statues and occasionally letting out sinister laughter.
He came with nothing in his hands and left with a bulge in his waist. Xu Yixing picked out some small pills made by Ying Si and took them away with satisfaction.
But those weren't lethal poisons. Some caused headaches, foot pain, and body aches. Some were drugs that could make a cow fall to the ground and sleep. There were also some that Shadow Four took out and stuffed in at the very end, smiling knowingly.
"This is a good thing. When you get married, you will know its benefits. No need to thank me."
Bah! In a peaceful place like Buddhism, who knew Ying Si would have the time to research this thing!
Xu Yixing slumped in the carriage, his mind racing. The thought of a child in the dark underground palace, dressed in Buddhist robes, spending his days rubbing various medicinal pills, occasionally using Buddha's offerings as test subjects, made him feel a sense of incongruity. What a sin! What a sin!
"Siqin, when you return home, tell someone to place a small sea lantern at Jingxi Temple. It's the kind that can absolve sins. I'll pay for it."
