Mysterious Martial Arts: The Record of the Swordsman

Chapter 23
In the main hall of Huixianguan, the clay statues of Sanqing sat upright and feasted, looking down at all kinds of things in the world, and seemed to only care about the fading of the lanterns in front of them, and no one was willing to pick them at the moment.

The emperor in the hall has forgotten his feelings, but ordinary people don't have such skills.The little Taoist priest took the place of the master and recited the Supreme Dao Sutra. The people in the hall listened to the chanting sound without any sleepiness. Rivalry.

"You said, the two Taoist priests have been in for so long, why haven't they come out..."

Zhu Xiaoqian walked up and down the room anxiously, looking at the two children moaning in pain from time to time, and finally couldn't help but speak.

The little fat man Fang Dahong grabbed her skirt timidly: "Grandmother, I think the priests may be busy, so let's sit down and wait..."

Zhu Xiaoqian patted his head, "I'll just ask casually, it's really useless to be anxious."

The conversation between the two didn't last long, but they were overheard by Ma Dashan who was next to him. He suddenly asked, "My guest, I listen to your voice, and I see that you look a little bit kind... Where are we?" seen?"

Zhu Xiaoqian hurriedly covered her face, and said in a high-pitched voice, "My lord, my old lady, I just came from the countryside, how did we know each other... Did you recognize the wrong person?"

Ma Dashan was also a little skeptical, and his character of convincing people with virtue broke out. He stepped forward and wanted to see: "Really? Have we never seen each other before? You look up and let me see!"

When the two entangled and looked at each other, footsteps finally sounded from the back door of the main hall.

"You're done! With Lao Dao's furnace of Taiyi Xiaohuandan, if you take it three times, the poison on these children can be eliminated by [-]%!"

The old Taoist looked hale and hearty, filled the medicine gourd with the newly refined elixir, and said to everyone in the hall.

Jiang Wen rushed over from behind, and asked Yuan Huazi curiously: "Really, why is it only [-]%? Could the remaining [-]% be someone else's?"

The old Taoist brushed his beard and smiled, "That's what you don't understand. The test gold is full in seven days, and the medicine is three-point poisonous. We have cured [-]% of the poison on the child, and the rest..."

Zhu Xiaoqian took the opportunity to avoid Mr. Ma Dashan, and said to the old Taoist priest, "Can we slowly detoxify the remaining rotting bone poison?"

"No, no, no..."

The old Taoist slowly shook his head and waved his hand: "In the remaining time, the old Taoist should slowly detoxify them from the golden erysipelas."

Jiang Wen gasped, no wonder the Taiyi Xiaohuandan, which was made with mercury and sulfur thickened with fire, was not well-known, far less famous than Shaolin Xiaohuandan.

The co-author is that everyone who has eaten it is dead!
"... We have been busy for a long time, and we have solved [-]% of it, and we are also stained with golden erysipelas? I just said that the thing you added is heavy metal!"

Yuan Huazi glared at him angrily: "What I use is the divine elixir gold liquid. The longer it is burned, the better the transformation will be. It will last a hundred times and will be immortal forever. If you take it, you can live forever. Ordinary people have leaks in their bodies, so of course they can't stand the magic of the gods." Medicine!"

"Uh... real person, otherwise I will keep the medicine first, I'll think about it later."

Although Taoist elixir has not made breakthroughs in longevity, other research has yielded fruitful results, such as the Taiyi Spirit Pill that treats madness, the Turtle Xiahai Pill that treats lymphatic tuberculosis, the poisonous dragon pill that treats dysentery—and of course the black pill that changed the world. gunpowder.

On one side was the child who turned blue due to poisonous pain and tossed and turned, and on the other side was Taiyi Xiaohuandan, who had obvious effects and side effects.

Whether to take the medicine or not, Jiang Wen fell into deep thought, which made the people present fell silent.

"Grandma, where are you going? I'm going too!"

Fang Dahong, the little fat man, has sharp eyes and noticed that Zhu Xiaoqian was slowly walking towards the side door, and was about to go up.

Zhu Xiaoqian covered his mouth angrily: "Mother-in-law is going to pee, and you have to follow? Be good, and when I come back, I will bring you chicken butts to eat."

"Oh!"

Fang Dahong nodded obediently, and sat down on the spot beside him, unable to figure out where the mother-in-law could find chicken butts for him to eat in this barren mountain?

…………

Zhu Xiaoqian put on her night clothes, and was lying on all fours on the tiled roof, waiting for the opportunity to sneak in.

Chong'an County Yamen is heavily guarded by soldiers, guards are constantly patrolling past, the torches are not extinguished all night, even the watchmen have been driven away from here, and it has turned into a land of gold.

But the patrolling on the ground can't reach the level of three-dimensional defense, and the county government compound with all the elite soldiers doesn't have enough light kung fu masters to stop her.

To put it bluntly, among the few masters known to the Qing soldiers, she, Zhu Xiaoqian, couldn't beat any of them in a fight, but when she ran away, none of those masters could catch up to her.

"Hiss...the incense stinks, it must be the room of that demon lama..."

A few tiles were removed, she hooked her feet to the beams of the house, dexterously lowered her body and sneaked in, then landed on the ground silently, without disturbing anyone.

"So much medicine? Why is it still sticky and bloody?"

Zhu Xiaoqian had been prepared for a long time and did not dare to touch it randomly. She just used oiled paper in large and small porcelain bottles to search all the wrapped things, and planned to retreat from here.

Jiang Wen was worried that there would be an ambush here, but Zhu Xiaoqian was not worried.Leaving aside other means, who can steal things better than a perennial snitch like her?
The two children have suffered too much, I don't know why - maybe it's because they are getting older, Zhu Xiaoqian finds that she can't help but meddle in children's business, and likes them to act like a baby to her.

If nothing else, just for the mother-in-law that Ningdie called out, she has to find a way to save her, and then bring her back to Yangzhou.

Zhu Xiaoqian, who had restored the house to its original state, climbed up to the roof, put the tiles back in place and was about to climb over the wall to leave when a group of inspectors turned from the east side of the county government office.

Having not slept all night, they tried their best not to fall asleep, and could only rely on whispering to stay awake. The leading inspection also turned a blind eye to this.

"Zheng Da, you said it's midnight today, why did you put us here?"

"It is said that some criminals fled to the county, and the inspector Deling has already led a team to arrest them."

"Nonsense, our inspection department only has 16 soldiers, 21 archers, and three are on empty pay. How can we gather more than 200 people to enter the mountain?"

"Who told you that we are in Chong'an County! The head of the back room is my uncle. He said that this time the three provinces have come to inspect six prefectures and eleven counties, and there are no less than 500 people who have entered the mountain one after another. What you've seen is just the tip of the iceberg!"

"Hey! With so many people, do the prisoners have three heads and six arms?"

"It's hard to say, just this Wuyi mountain, do you dare to go in in the middle of the night? They dare! Maybe they spend the night in the cliff coffin and take a bath in the wild forest, waiting to kill people and drink blood."

"Tell me, will we also go into the mountain? I dare not go there. How many people go there all year round... I heard that there are legless women who come out to cut meat on the mountain..."

"Don't think about it, now that there are so many troops gathered, they must be encircled. When reinforcements from more than a dozen other counties arrive, those people will be completely unable to fly!"

"That's good, hehe... the thought of going into the mountains always makes me feel a little fuzzy. Huh? What sound was that just now?"

"You almost scared me to death! There have been cats on the eaves, don't be surprised!"

The patrolling sentinel's voice was not loud, but it all fell into Zhu Xiaoqian's ears.

As an experienced snitch, she has stolen thousands of things, and what she is most proud of is not only her skill, but also her rich experience and keen intuition.

As a snitch, what is more important than a good hand and nothing is to step on the spot accurately, know yourself and the enemy, and the more information you know, the more things you can steal.

This trip was really worthwhile, she had already heard a lot of information.For example, it was not accidental that the Qing soldiers entered the mountain, but they mobilized heavy troops from various parties, determined to surround and wipe out all the troops of the Tiandihui.

Snitch stealing is nothing more than this. Ma Dashan is greedy for the beauty of red beans, so the family property is naturally difficult to protect. There must be big problems behind the big sweetness.

Thinking about it this way, the victory of the chief helmsman before was probably just a bait put by the Tartars.

Zhu Xiaoqian secretly wrote down everything, threw flying stones to divert her attention and took the opportunity to break through, knowing that she hurried back to deliver the medicine, and told this matter quickly, so that the silly girl Hongdou ran away immediately!
After crossing several tile-roofed houses, this is already the edge of Lifang.With no houses to fly across, Zhu Xiaoqian turned around and jumped into an alley, ready to find the right opportunity to follow the river crossing the county seat and slip out by climbing on the low wall.

But just as her feet touched the ground, footsteps suddenly sounded from both sides of the alley...
