Chapter 149 Movements from all parties
Chieftain, also known as local officials, was an official position on the border of ancient China. It was used to grant titles to ethnic tribe leaders in the northwest and southwest regions.
There are broad and narrow meanings. The general sense of chieftain refers to the local officials who independently built the territory (local office) in the sphere of influence by indigenous people in ethnic minority areas within their sphere of influence and allowed by national laws, and also refers to the local officials who "has a place in the world, govern their people, govern their soldiers, inherit their positions, govern their places, and receive their titles in the world." The narrow sense of chieftain refers specifically to the local officials who "has a place in the world, govern their people, govern their soldiers, inherit their positions, govern their places, and receive their titles in the world."
Although the Lord of the Wanpo Cave is like a saint here, he also obeys the jurisdiction of the local chieftains.
The owner of Wanpo Cave had no expression on his face and said, "What do you mean is that I Wanpo Cave is afraid of this toast?"
Duan Shuiquan shook his head and said, "But this chieftain is afraid of the court!"
This is the key. Although the master of Wanpo Caves is not afraid of the chieftain, the chieftain will indeed give him face. However, the chieftain is afraid of the imperial court. You should know that although the chieftain is a local tyrant in the Miaojiang area, they are also legitimately appointed officials by the imperial court. In theory, they are under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. According to the customs of the court, they are likely not to send troops themselves, but will order the local chieftains to send troops. In fact, most of the chieftains' soldiers are Miao people.
In other words, use Miao people to defeat Miao people.
Now it was the turn of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave to remain silent.
Duan Shuiquan saw this and continued, "Do you want to see your Miao people die in the forest at your feet? For the court, they are more willing to see this, and for them, it is actually a matter of killing two birds with one stone. As for what I mean, you should understand."
The Lord of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave slowly stood up and looked at the land under his feet. In the lush forests opposite the river, many houses were hidden in it, which seemed extremely quiet.
But once a war breaks out, the tranquility in front of you will disappear, and the fire of war will burn every inch in front of you, and countless Miao people will be injured.
In the end, whether it is the loser or the winninger, the Miao people are the dead. The imperial court only needs an imperial edict to successfully let the Miao people kill each other without spending one soldier or another.
Duan Shuiquan said this completely and the Lord of the Ten Thousand Poison Caves went to his heart. After a moment of silence, he said: "The Brahma Sect disturbs the Central Plains martial arts world. How could the court interfere in the martial arts world?"
Duan Shuiquan said: "The Brahma Sect kidnapped the princess, and it was not expensive to do so. The court ordered the Dongchang and Jinyiwei to thoroughly investigate the matter and must capture all the Brahma Sect. If you help the Brahma Sect, wouldn't it be against the court? Moreover, with the current power of the Brahma Sect, you think they can seize the Ming Dynasty. If you can't seize it, all their promises are just empty talk. You will be charged with accomplices instead."
The Lord of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave was silent again, and after a while, he smiled and said, "This matter is also allowed to be considered. You come from afar, at least you have to let me enter the friendship of the landlords. Why not stay here for a few days?"
Duanshuiqu knew that he couldn't be too hasty about this matter. He didn't object at all, which proved hope. He nodded and said, "Yes, but you have to be careful!"
The owner of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave said strangely: "Why are you careful?"
Duan Shuiquan shook the wine pot in his hand and said, "I may drink the wine here."
The owner of Wanpo Cave Hahaha and said, "If you can drink it dry, what's the harm? Although my Wanpo Cave's wine is not as good as the daughter Hong, Zhuangyuan Hong, Huadiao and other fine wines in the Central Plains, it has a unique flavor. You don't have to be polite, just drink it openly!"
On the other hand, Zhao Yuan and Cang Wushuang followed the leading woman to the side. There was a forest here and there were many houses standing. The houses were all wooden. Like the traditional Miao village, they were stilt houses, which were taller than ten feet above the ground, and then led to the top through a wooden staircase.
"Please rest assured that there are no poisons here, and poisons will not step into this place."
The leader said.
Zhao Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Thank you then!"
The leader nods.
…………
After the Three Immortals left, they did not answer their homes, but went to another place.
This is a Miao village that looks extremely ordinary, but this Miao village is not as ordinary as it appears. Some sentry guards can be seen in some places.
Qi Xian and Qin Xian stayed in the room at the entrance of the village, while Hua Xian entered the village and finally came to a room that looked very ordinary.
After entering the room, the Huaxian, who was already a bit arrogant, suddenly became respectful and said to the person sitting in the room and drinking tea slowly: "Empress."
"Um!"
The tea drinker was a thin old man. He slowly put the tea cup on his face, raised his eyes and said, "I didn't say that, if nothing is wrong, don't run here!"
Huaxian said: "The envoy, the young man came to report important things."
"oh?"
The little old man wondered, "Speak up."
Huaxian immediately said: "Duan Shuiquan went to the poison cave and saw the master of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave."
The old man frowned and asked, "Duan Shuiquan? Leader of the Beggars' Sect? Even if he is the leader of the Beggars' Sect, he has good skills, but he has entered the Ten Thousand Poison Cave alone. I'm afraid he has the courage to go in and has no ability to come out."
Hua Xian said: "But it sounds like he knew the Lord of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave."
The little old man stood up and said in surprise: "What did you say? He knows the Lord of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave?"
He obviously didn't expect this.
Hua Xian said: "Yes, we are about to catch the little bitch of Yinyue Sect. Duan Shuiquan jumped out of nowhere. The three of us brothers dared not fight with him, so we had to retreat first, but did not go far, but saw people from the Ten Thousand Poison Cave come out to greet them, so he should know the Lord of Ten Thousand Poison Cave!"
The old man frowned and said, "I know the Lord of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. Well, this matter is a bit difficult to deal with. Duan Shuiquan has been against us. Could it be that he knows what poison is among those people, so he came to this Miaojiang land thousands of miles away to destroy our plan?"
Huaxian thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible. If he knew the Lord of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, he might know what poison he was using. If the Lord of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave was moved by him and was unwilling to cooperate, wouldn't the previous plan be wiped out?"
The little old man's face darkened and said, "No, you must not let this section of water succeed. Go back immediately and let your people be prepared. We will attack this Poison Cave tonight."
Huaxian hurriedly said, "Empress, please be careful, you think the best time is noon tomorrow, not now?"
The little old man asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
Huaxian explained: "The demon girl from Yinyue Sect was infected with the poison. The best time to detoxify that poison is tomorrow noon. If the owner of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave must detoxify himself, how can he be able to cure it in a short while? At that time, we are attacking and we can conquer the Ten Thousand Poison Cave in one fell swoop, but the forest full of poisonous snakes is a little troublesome. It is rumored that no one can walk in alive, and no one can leave alive!"
The little old man said: "You don't have to worry about this. I naturally have a way. You only need to attack the Ten Thousand Poison Cave with you and me tomorrow!"
Huaxian nodded, and did not dare to ask more questions, saying, "I will listen to everything."
…………
The next day, it was rare and the sun got up early in the morning.
After a night of rest, the person who led the way yesterday came to the place where the two of them rested and said, "My master said the weather is very good today, so I don't have to wait until noon. I can detoxify you now. Please follow me, and this young master should also get up together."
Zhao Yuan looked at Cang Wushuang, nodded slightly, and then followed the woman to leave her place to live. Not long after, the two of them came to the open space where they met with the Lord of the Wandu Cave yesterday. Duan Shui was missing, and the Lord of the Wandu Cave was already waiting. There was a huge wooden barrel in front of her, with water in the barrel. A fence was built around the barrel and surrounded it with cloth.
Seeing the two of them coming, the owner of the Wanpo Cave took out a small porcelain bottle, unscrewed it and poured something into the water. After guiding it in, the originally calm water suddenly seemed to have countless fresh fish put in it. The water suddenly boiled. After a while, the originally transparent water turned light red, pink, and deep red, and then gradually turned into a bright red like blood. Soon, the bright red gradually faded, and finally became colorless and transparent again.
The owner of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave then put away the porcelain bottle and said, "One of the big reason why Gu poison is harder to drive away with internal force than ordinary poison is that Gu poison is not Danton's poison, and the way to deal with the insects is of course to use the insects to eliminate the insects. What you have to do now is to lure out the insects in your body."
Zhao Yuan said in confusion: "How can we draw out the poison?"
The owner of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave pointed at the water again and said, "The water is also a kind of poisonous insect. They are the favorite foods of poisonous poison in your body, but they are also the nemesis of poisonous poison in your body."
While speaking, he took out a small knife made of silver and handed it to Zhao Yuan, saying, "After she enters the wooden barrel, you must do two things. First, you must use a knife to break her fingers to ensure that the poisonous insects can come out. Second, use true energy to protect her internal organs and heart veins to ensure that the poison does not spread to other places. If it goes well, the poison on her body can be removed in one hour. There is another point. If the poison is completely eliminated, there should be no trace of it on her body after entering the barrel."
Then he looked up at the sky and said, "The time is almost over, it's time to start."
After saying that, he walked out, and the waiters outside immediately pulled the curtains. Soon, there were only two people in front of the wooden barrel.
Cang Wushuang gritted her teeth with a hint of blush, reached out to start to untie her belt, and said, "Anyway, you have seen everything you should see, so what else can you be shy about?"
Zhao Yuan quickly turned his face and said, "There are still...there are clothes last time."
Cang Wushuang turned around and said, "You think there is still, but I think there is no difference. Why? Do you plan to think that nothing happened?"
Zhao Yuan hurriedly said, "I don't mean that."
Cang Wushuang said, "What do you mean? Even though I am called a witch by many white martial arts people, I am still innocent. Do you plan to refuse to admit it?"
Zhao Yuan said: "No."
Cang Wushuang said: "It's not the best. Humph, I won't tell you this now, I'll help me detoxify first."
After saying that, he turned around again and slowly took off his clothes.
Although Zhao Yuan couldn't see his eyes, he could still hear his ears. Cang Wushuang's clothes were good materials, but he could still clearly hear the sound of clothes slowly sliding off his skin.
A beautiful ketone body appeared in Zhao Yuan's mind, as white as snow and as thin as warm jade.
"Crazy!"
The sound of water came from his ears again, probably the sound of Cang Wushuang as a wooden barrel. After a while, she whispered: "I...I'm fine!"
Zhao Yuan came back to his senses and turned around. He saw that Cang Wushuang had buried his body in the water of the wooden barrel, only revealing his head, and his originally flowing long hair was now being coiled up.
As if she hesitated for a moment, she stood up slightly, placed her hands behind her back on the edge of the wooden barrel, and said, "Go to start quickly."
Zhao Yuan nodded, picked up the knife, looked at Cang Wushuang's fair and flawless skin, and his mind couldn't help but swayed, but he immediately came back to his senses, shook his head hard, secretly exerting his internal strength to stabilize his mind, then grabbed Cang Wushuang's hand, carefully cut between her two hands, then put down the knife, sat cross-legged behind her, put his palms on her back, and used internal force to protect her internal organs and heart and said: "It's OK!"
Cang Wushuang couldn't use his own power at this moment, so he nodded and slowly put his hand into the wooden barrel.
The blood on the fingertips entered the wooden barrel, and the originally calm wooden barrel suddenly rolled violently again, and a hint of pain surged on Cang Wushuang's face. As the owner of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave said, Gu poison is originally a kind of insect, and when dealing with this kind of insect, you can use poison to attack the poison. Therefore, the barrel is also Gu poison. As soon as you see the blood, these Gu poisons that had finally calmed down became excited again. They began to drill into Cang Wushuang's body along the blood vessels. This was not an ordinary pain point, and they felt like they were bitten all over their bodies.
However, because Zhao Yuan used his internal force to protect Cang Wushuang's internal organs and heart veins, it was like establishing an invisible protective net in Cang Wushuang's body. These poisons could not be broken through, and the poisons that were originally dormant in Cang Wushuang's dantian were like a wolf smelling blood and began to move.
Cang Wushuang's body began to tremble, and a thin layer of sweat began to appear on her fair skin.
