Chapter 34 Why was he poisoned? A top-tier master?
Was Wei Wu fast or not?
How could Lin Xian'er not know!
She had planned to fight until dawn, then sleep in the carriage without having to think about anything else, and just sleep soundly until the world was dark.
Unfortunately, I have important business to attend to today.
Wei Wu did not forget his business. When he estimated that it was about time, he put Lin Xian'er down.
Lin Xian'er was naturally dissatisfied, but she knew her own position and was even more aware that Wei Wu was definitely not the type to wrong her; he must have something more important to do.
Wei Wu picked up Lin Xian'er and swayed to appear in front of Xiao Hong. The girl's eyes darted away and her face was flushed.
He didn't bother with the girl, simply reached out and lifted the two women to the front of the mountain god temple, leaving them at the entrance and telling them to put on their clothes properly, while he leisurely walked into the temple.
Looking at the "heroes" lying all over the ground, Wei Wu showed no surprise or shock whatsoever. As he walked, he scattered a handful of hot snow from his sleeve.
Yes, it's hot snow!
Snow is icy and difficult to retain; it melts into water when the temperature is high.
The snowflakes that were scattered from Wei Wu's sleeves were all warm. They landed on the faces and bodies of the many martial artists, quickly dispelling the numbness in their bodies and completely eliminating the poison from them.
All these people had red faces and glowing cheeks, looking like they were sweating from the heat, but in reality, they were so cold that they looked like grandchildren.
The only exceptions were the old man in the blue shirt warming himself by the fire and the beggar fast asleep in the corner; these two were completely unaffected.
Therefore, as soon as Xue Yingzi regained her mobility, she immediately looked at the two of them with wary eyes. Although her speech was still very fast, it was trembling as she spoke:
"Mr. Wei, we thought we couldn't just stay in the temple like that, and we probably couldn't stand it even if we stayed there all night, so we went out together to collect some dry branches to make a fire."
As a result, the fire was lit, and after a short while, most of the people were lying on the ground. I just thought they were tired and sleepy, so I didn't pay much attention at the time.
But then I felt a chill.
The more you heat it by the fire, the colder it gets!
As he spoke, Xue Yingzi couldn't help but shudder. There was no trace of the arrogance of "the number one swordsman under heaven" in his eyes, only a deep fear. "It's like being stripped naked and lying in the snow, about to freeze to death. But I feel warm all over, even though I am clear-headed and know that I am about to freeze to death."
His voice was hoarse and bitter as he frantically grabbed his hair and said, "To be honest, back then I really wished I could move and slit my own throat!"
"That feeling of slowly waiting to die is simply the most cruel torture imaginable!"
Cao Cao nodded.
Xue Yingzi's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he stared at the two men with extreme vigilance, pointing at them and saying, "But only these two are acting strangely!"
"We were freezing to death, and this old man was still puffing on his cigarette, and he even raised his torch and deliberately waved it, clearly mocking us!"
That beggar was even more shameless; he was still fast asleep!
Wei Wu glanced at the beggar, who was fast asleep, snores loudly, and even when Xue Yingzi shouted angrily, causing snow to fall from the top of the mountain temple, the man remained sound asleep, oblivious to the world around him.
But he didn't care.
He simply sat back down beside the old man in blue, warming himself by the fire, and said:
"It has nothing to do with them. The people the Five Poisons Child wants to poison will be poisoned no matter how careful they are. But the people he doesn't want to poison will not be poisoned even if they are in the same mountain temple as you, sitting by the fire."
The crowd looked grim, and many were already considering retreating, but were torn by the Five Poison Child's earlier warning and were torn between wanting to die.
Let them question Wei Wu...
Stop fooling around. The monk Xinjian, who was shouting loudly at Wei Wu earlier, was carried back by the Shaolin monks while they were gathering firewood. His bones were broken in half, and they were drooling over him once he was healed.
Given the precedent set by Wei Wu, who would dare to risk their life to ask him what exactly happened?
Unable to leave or stay, these people's inner "spirit" was truly worn down, and their so-called pride was broken into countless pieces.
Fortunately, there were still people who dared to ask.
Lin Xian'er and Xiao Hong tidied their clothes and came in, where they warmed themselves by the fire for a while.
Lin Xian'er continued to rub against Wei Wu. Although she really wanted to put his hand into her pants in front of everyone, she knew that would anger Wei Wu, so she could only change her position and massage Wei Wu to comfort herself.
She doesn't talk much, nor does she have time to.
Xiao Hong, however, asked curiously, "How did that Five Poison Child poison them?"
She suddenly had a thought: "Could it be that they ate something unclean or drank water laced with drugs?"
"impossible!"
Xue Yingzi immediately retorted, "We eat the dry rations we brought with us and drink the water we prepared beforehand. No matter how powerful the Five Poison Child is, he couldn't possibly tamper with these things."
Wei Wu smiled and explained, "It really has nothing to do with food or drink. Tonight was just me making a gesture of hello to him."
He pointed at the monk Xinjian and said, "I know you're all waiting anxiously. Actually, he's anxious too. He made arrangements a long time ago, but we just haven't arrived yet."
Afterwards, I knocked the monk Xinjian out and casually poisoned him with two kinds of mixed poison, which was also a test for the Five Poisons Child.
Now it seems that although he has been cured of the poison, he is still not satisfied.
Wei Wu's two palm strikes only broke four of Xin Jian's ribs; the remaining bones were probably caused by the Five Poison Boy venting his anger after he had detoxified himself.
As for how the Five Poison Boys administered the poison?
"fire."
Wei Wu pointed to the bonfire they had lit and said:
"On the way to this mountain god temple, I noticed that the snow had piled up. If I wanted to start a fire, I would have to choose some dry firewood. But some dry firewood and withered branches were left on the snow. Anyone could tell that something was wrong."
So you must not have chosen these dry firewoods, but instead searched further away and found some firewood that looked fine.
Xue Yingzi's expression changed.
They argued for a bit about whether or not to collect the dry firewood on the snow, but in the end, he and Xinmei decided to go to a distant place to collect firewood.
But Wei Wu didn't stop and continued:
"This mountain god temple has long been abandoned, and even the altar is broken and dilapidated. Yet there is an incense burner full of incense ash on the altar. Isn't that eye-catching?"
Therefore, there must have been something tampered with under this incense burner by the Five Poison Boys. When Qin Chong knocked over the incense burner and collapsed the offering table, the item naturally came out and spread throughout the temple along with the smoke and dust.
"Smoke and dust alone won't poison you, nor will burning firewood. But if you smell smoke and dust and then burn firewood, well, you'll definitely get poisoned."
Xue Yingzi's fingers finally began to tremble. As a swordsman, he could barely hold his sword. He swallowed hard, and suddenly noticed the old man in blue and the beggar. He immediately said, "But in that case, they will also be poisoned!"
"But how many of the Five Poison Boys would dare to poison them? So the firewood they picked up nearby naturally contained the antidote."
One was roasted for a long time, the other was close by, and given their profound internal strength and the slight poison, how could they possibly harm them?
Xue Yingzi stared at the old man with a chill running down his spine, then at the beggar whose snoring had stopped. He swallowed hard several times, and the sword in his hand clattered to the ground. "Them? Experts?"
He is the "Number One Swordsman in the World"!
If he couldn't withstand the poison, how could these two people in front of him possibly withstand it?
Who are they?!
