Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Snake Secret
The next day, the young man came early as before and gently blocked her at the door.
Practice sword and help him, without missing a single thing.
Ming Yueyi took advantage of the fact that he was satisfied and still in a daze, left him alone to practice sword and walked towards Tianji Pavilion.
She originally wanted to look up information about the fox demon poison and see if there were any other ways to suppress it, but unexpectedly she met He Wujiu on the way to Tianji Pavilion.
The young man's white clothes were blown by the wind like clouds and snow, his jade knuckles tapping on the bamboo slips, sitting in the wind pavilion not far from the Tianji Pavilion.
"Junior sister."
Mingyueyi paused and looked sideways.
He Wujiu put down the fingers that were holding the bamboo slips and waved to her. The bamboo slips poured down from the stone table like a waterfall.
Mingyueyi climbed up the stairs.
The Fengting Pavilion was built on a high place, and the wind was stronger than on the plain. As soon as she entered the Fengting Pavilion, she could smell the agarwood carried by the wind.
Ming Yueyi asked him, "Why is my eldest brother here?"
He Wujiu's gaze fell on her slightly red lips, and he replied softly, "I'm looking up ancient books. Where are you going, Junior Sister?"
Ming Yueyi said truthfully, "I also plan to go to the Tianji Pavilion to read some books."
Then he asked, "What is the eldest brother investigating?"
Her eyes fell on the half-read bamboo slips in front of him, curious about what he was reading. She remembered that He Wujiu had a photographic memory and could remember all the books he had read in his mind, so there was no need for him to come to Tianji Pavilion to read.
He Wujiu glanced at the scattered bamboo slips, rolled them up slowly and said, "Nothing, just a casual look. What are you going to check, Junior Sister?"
Seeing that he didn't seem to want to talk anymore, Ming Yueyi didn't ask any more questions. She smiled and said, "Nothing. I just got bored and went to read the Monster Records."
The bamboo slips were rolled up, wrapped in linen, and tied with linen string.
After doing all this, He Wujiu raised his head and said softly, "Junior sister, what kind of monster are you looking for? Perhaps I still remember it."
Ming Yueyi wanted to refuse, but then she thought that asking him might be faster than investigating, so she said, "It's not a strange monster, it's a fox monster."
"Fox demon?" He Wujiu was surprised, his eyebrows slightly raised: "Junior sister, why are you looking for books about fox demons for no reason?"
Ming Yueyi said, "I was bored and suddenly thought of the fox demon poison. I was a little curious."
He Wujiu smiled and shook his head: "This is not a good thing."
Ming Yueyi didn't refute him, and asked him, "Brother, do you know if someone is poisoned by a fox demon, besides the prescription for detoxification, is there any other way to remove the poison? Or perhaps transfer it?"
The fox demon poison can be regarded as a medicine in the world of cultivation. Anyone infected with it will become lewd. If it is not cured, it will become a poisonous creature that will attack everyone it meets.
Although it doesn't seem fatal, the uncontrollable sexual desire after being poisoned is so strong that people want to avoid it. The monks are wholeheartedly devoted to cultivation, and no one would spend most of their time on sexual intercourse.
He Wujiu remained silent, his long eyelashes casting a faint slanted shadow on his jade-white face, and his fingers resting on the bamboo slips tapped lightly as if thinking about something.
Mingyueyi looked at him.
After a few breaths, he asked casually, "Junior Sister, why do you want to know about the fox demon poison? But you were injured in Yun Town?"
"Ah?" Ming Yueyi didn't know why he suddenly asked that. He blinked and shook his head, "Brother, why do you say that? How could I have been infected with the fox demon poison?"
The young man supported his chin with one hand, raised his finger and lightly touched his lower lip with a smile, and said in a gentle tone that seemed quite caring: "Because I have seen that my junior sister's lips are always swollen recently."
Mingyueyi subconsciously touched her upper lips.
It turned out that it was not only still hot, but also swollen.
Despite being caught red-handed, Ming Yueyi remained calm and explained, "No, Senior Brother, I wasn't poisoned by the fox demon. You treated my injuries before, so if I had any other injuries, I wouldn't have been able to hide them from you. I was just curious and wanted to check. My lips are swollen, maybe because I've been eating a light diet lately and liking spicy food, so they're always swollen."
"Really?" He obviously didn't believe it. He looked at her narrow eyes, which showed the disapproval of a brother who lied to his younger sister. "Junior sister, not only are your lips red, but you also asked about the fox demon poison for no reason. If you really encountered something, you can tell me."
Ming Yueyi was quite annoyed by his questioning and couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have thought of asking him directly for convenience. It would have been better for him to go to Tianji Pavilion and check slowly to avoid being questioned like this.
"Yes." She nodded patiently and held out her wrist. "If you don't believe me, you can check whether I have been poisoned by the demon."
He Wujiu's gaze fell on the white wrist in front of him. It was as slender as a goose neck, with skin as white as cream, and faint purple blood lines visible under the white skin.
He didn't raise his hand to touch her, seeing that she didn't want to be questioned, and shook his head calmly, "No need, I've checked for you before, and there's no fox demon poison."
Ming Yueyi pursed her lips and smiled, then put her hands into her sleeves and said, "Brother, can you tell me now?"
"The fox demon poison isn't difficult to cure. I use a thousand-year-old snow lotus, a cup of pagoda water, and then boil it with herbs like life-protecting grass and bird liver. But while snow lotus is easy to find, it's a thousand-year-old beast. The snow lotus in the bamboo forest behind my cave is less than a thousand years old. If anyone gets poisoned by the fox demon during this time, I'll have to resort to other methods. Let me think."
He spoke slowly, then continued as if thinking, "There's another way. Before the demonic poison can infect the body, we can light the Nebula Grass and absorb the fox demon poison from the victim's body, then transfer it to the host."
If you want to detoxify, you need all the herbs, otherwise the best way is to transfer it.
However, this method also requires someone to sacrifice and be willing to become a new host body. However, no one would normally use such a self-destructive method. After all, once infected with the fox demon poison, it is particularly difficult to deal with.
He Wujiu finished speaking and looked at her obscurely.
Sure enough, Mingyueyi's eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if she was seriously considering whether it was feasible.
The corners of He Wujiu's lips drooped, his dark pupils darkened, and he tapped lightly on the bamboo slips with his fingers.
Ming Yueyi thought about it and felt that it was too risky to transfer the fox demon poison in Pu Yuemin to himself.
She asked He Wujiu, "Brother, how many thousand years will the snow lotus in your cave last?"
He Wujiu: "Half a year."
Half a year is too long, and there are still risks.
Ming Yueyi hesitated, thinking that there was actually a thousand-year-old snow lotus on the top of Xueyun Mountain, but the mountain there was bumpy and the risk was quite high, and it was easy to get into danger.
But if you are lucky, you might be able to find one. The one planted by He Wujiu in the back mountain is the one on the top of Xueyun Mountain.
It is too dangerous for the fox demon poison to remain in Pu Yuemin's body. She can first go to Xueyun Peak to find the snow lotus. If she can find it, that would be the best. If not, she can only think of another way.
After Ming Yueyi figured it out, he said to He Wujiu, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for helping me clear up this confusion."
"Nothing." He Wujiu smiled faintly. Seeing her stand up, he asked, "Junior sister, are you going back?"
Ming Yueyi nodded: "Well, now that the doubt has been resolved, I will not disturb you, brother, and will go back to practice swordsmanship first."
"Um."
He Wujiu didn't try to keep her. Instead, he looked at her thoughtfully as she turned around and left the wind pavilion, her back as she walked down the mountain.
My junior sister was only focused on cultivation and never cared about the fox demon poison, let alone spending time asking about it multiple times.
He supported his chin with one hand, lightly fanned his eyelashes, and tapped the bamboo slips wrapped in linen with his fingertips.
Swollen lips.
Fox demon poison...
Junior sister has really learned bad habits from others and has been cheating on him more and more often.
-
Leaving the road to Tianji Pavilion, Mingyueyi didn't want to go back for the time being.
He originally wanted to find a place to spend the night, but unexpectedly, he ran into Pu Yuemin who was supposed to be practicing sword.
The young man held a bronze broadsword in his arms, his long black hair draped behind him, and his wide sleeves fluttered with his steps, giving him an unforgettable look of clear-headedness and elegance.
No matter where she went, she would meet Pu Yuemin. It was as if he had a pair of invisible eyes on her, watching her every move in the dark at any time.
Mingyueyi looked at the tall and light young man not far away with great distress.
As soon as Ming Yueyi saw the direction he was walking in with a sword in his arms, he knew he was looking for him, so he turned the tip of his shoes to hide his figure and planned to go from the other side.
Just as he turned around, he heard someone's voice behind him stopping Pu Yuemin.
Mingyueyi was just glad that someone had stopped Pu Yuemin, but the next words from those people stopped her in her tracks.
The locust tree was tall, and in order to avoid being seen by Pu Yuemin, she quickly dodged and hid herself under the tree. At this moment, the people on the other side were unaware of it.
The person who stopped Pu Yuemin was a man wearing a short grey brown uniform of an outer disciple.
"Junior Brother Pu." The man stopped him.
Pu Yuemin glanced at the hand that was about to touch his sleeve, took a step back to avoid it, and raised his eyes to cast a calm gaze on him: "I don't know what this senior brother wants to see me for?"
The man's name was Chen Ge, an outer disciple of Fenjing Peak. He was usually sent to the mountain to clean Chongri Terrace and other places in exchange for the opportunity to practice and study with the inner disciples. He had waited for a long time for this day to come.
As soon as he entered the gate of Fenjing Peak, he looked everywhere for Pu Yuemin, because he had discovered the secret of this junior fellow apprentice of Fenjing Peak, and was able to control his junior fellow apprentice's shocking secret.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Chen Ge spoke frankly, "Brother Pu, I know a secret about you that no one else knows."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ge saw that the young man was obviously stunned.
"secret?
There was confusion in Pu Yuemin's eyes, which were as pure black as black stones soaked in water, as she looked at him. Even with that dazed look, her appearance was still surprisingly handsome.
"I wonder what secret of mine my teacher has seen?" His face smiled, like the thin ice on the river being cracked by the warm spring sun, his voice clear and gentle.
Chen Ge looked at his androgynous face and couldn't help showing a silly look: "Junior brother, can you please have a word with me for a moment? Talking here might leak secrets."
The junior disciple of Fen Jing Peak is handsome and kind-hearted. He is an untouchable cold and bright moon in the hearts of countless people. Now that he holds such a secret, he naturally does not want to share it with others. Even though he is obsessed with that beauty, he still maintains a trace of vigilance.
But Junior Brother Pu didn't seem to care about the secret he was talking about. His tone was as warm and approachable as usual, but he politely declined.
"No need, senior brother. I don't have any secrets that I need to hide from others." Pu Yuemin's gaze passed over him and fell behind the locust tree. He obsessively smelled the faint fragrance blown by the wind, saliva secreting under his tongue.
He felt an itch deep in his heart and had no intention of wasting time on such things. He wanted to go find his senior sister.
But some people just couldn't understand his expression, and when they saw him refuse, they immediately became anxious.
Chen Ge was still afraid that he would leave, so he relied on his strong physique and bravely stopped him in front of him with his knuckles, saying urgently, "Brother Pu, don't disbelieve me, I really do know your secret. I know exactly what happened in the meditation room at Chongri Terrace a few days ago."
These words actually made the young man in front of him pause, and then his gaze slowly settled on him. The smile on the corner of Danmei's lips faded a little, and her gentle face became more and more like some kind of worshipped deity.
Pu Yuemin smiled faintly and said, "Hmm? What do you mean, Senior Brother?"
Chen Ge knew this was helpful, and laughed, "Brother, can I have a word with you for a moment?"
