Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 50: The Master Thief
Hu Guinan is in imminent danger.

Without immediate medical attention, he would surely die.

After hearing his name, Huang Sixi moved to the beggar's body and took out the snow-white ice toad.

Just now, Hu Guinan inhaled the snake mist and just smelled the cold air of the ice toad, and the snake venom in his body was completely eliminated.

Huang Sixi also tried to smell it, and felt a refreshing breath rushing into his body. With this breath, no matter how much poisonous fog he inhaled, it had no effect.

He couldn't help but secretly praise: "It's really a detoxifying spiritual object!"

He then squatted beside Hu Guinan, lifted his clothes, and saw two shallow snake tooth marks on his wound, and the area around the tooth marks was already black.

He first pinched open the ice toad's mouth and let the ice toad suck on the snake's fang wound.

Then he held the toad's back and used his internal strength.

The toad's belly rose and fell as it began to suck out the snake's venom.

As the snake venom in Hu Guinan's body was extracted, the ice toad's snow-white body also changed, turning gray at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon turned from gray to black.

At this time, the ice toad's ability to extract venom has reached its limit and it can no longer extract more snake venom.

However, Hu Guinan's poisonous wounds were basically cured.

He gradually woke up, and even though he was still weak, he immediately knelt down to thank Huang Sixi for saving his life.

Huang Sixi knew that he was not in good health, so he asked him to sit aside and regulate his breathing.

Huang Sixi picked up the ice toad with one hand and said regretfully, "This ice toad has extracted too much poison. Its body has turned black. It can no longer be used."

"Husband, it can still be used!"

Hu Guinan hurriedly took out a wine gourd from his bag, placed a special silver bowl on the ground, and filled it with wine.

"Please put the ice toad in the bowl, sir!"

Huang Sixi did as he was told.

After the ice toad drank the wine, strands of black water quickly came out of the toad's mouth.

Huang Sixi's eyes lit up: "So strong liquor can induce vomiting of poison!"

Hu Guinan smiled and said, "My husband's guess is correct. Strong liquor can restore the Ice Toad's body to its original state!"

When the full bowl of wine turned like ink, the ice toad also returned to its original snow-white appearance.

Hu Guinan first poured out the poisoned wine, then went outside the temple to collect rainwater and clean the silver bowl.

After turning back, he placed the silver bowl and the ice toad in front of Huang Sixi, then took out another brocade box from his arms, opened the lid, revealing a brand new ice toad with red eyes.

Hu Guinan pointed at the two toads and introduced them, "My husband, these are the red-eyed ice toads native to the snowy mountains of Tibet. They are specialized in dispelling poison. No matter how serious the poisonous wound is, just let the toad's mouth suck the wound and the poisonous sore will heal!"

This is just one of the functions of the Red-Eyed Ice Toad.

Hu Guinan added: "If you have serious internal injuries or knife wounds, as long as you are not killed on the spot, grind up the ice toad whole and swallow it, and it can cure even the most serious injuries! I will now give both ice toads to you, my husband!"

Huang Sixi sighed: "This is simply a panacea."

He thought, I have lived in Tibet for five years, why haven't I found a red-eyed toad? Hu Guinan can find two in just one trip to Tibet!

Of course, the Ice Toad was not necessarily discovered by Hu Guinan himself.

Huang Sixi asked, "Did you dig these two ice toads out of the snow mountain?"

Hu Guinan quickly shook his head: "I don't have this blessing! I dare not hide it from my husband. Not long ago, I was traveling in Henan and met an old Taoist who was seriously ill and collected herbs. I felt sorry for him, so I hired a doctor and gave him medicine, and gave him dozens of taels of silver." Huang Sixi did not doubt his words and smiled: "I heard you introduce yourself earlier. Your name is Hu Guinan. I have heard of your reputation before. Your fellow Jianghu people call you the 'God of Thieves'. You prefer to help the weak and the needy. If not for this, I would not have saved you just now!"

Hu Guinan said ashamedly: "Every time I help the weak and the poor, I often steal from the homes of local rich people. In fact, I rob the rich to help the poor. It is really not worthy of being mentioned above. Even if my husband does not save me, I deserve it!"

Even if Huang Sixi didn't save him, he could still take away the two red-eyed ice toads.

But Huang Sixi still chose to save him.

This "master thief", although he looks shifty, is actually very chivalrous. He does not value wealth and is grateful for favors.

In the original novel, when Hu Guinan met Yuan Chengzhi for the first time, he gave the two red-eyed ice toads directly to Yuan Chengzhi because Yuan Chengzhi helped persuade him to compete with Iron Arhat and saved him from the worry of being seriously injured.

The Red-Eyed Ice Toad is the number one healing treasure in "The Sword Stained with Royal Blood". It can cure critical injuries and can be used to save lives at critical moments.

Hu Guinan didn't even leave any for himself. If it were any other person in the martial arts world, no one would be so generous.

"You gave that old Taoist priest who collected herbs several dozen taels of silver. What happened afterwards?"

Huang Sixi continued to ask questions on the previous topic.

Hu Guinan said, "He had reached the end of his life span, and medicine and medicine were no longer effective. He died a few days later. Before he died, he gave the two ice toads to me and asked me to do a private thing for him."

"What private matter?"

"He became a monk in a Taoist temple in Henan, but he was originally from Yunnan. He hopes to return to his hometown after his death, so I ask you to send his remains back to his hometown for burial."

"You came to Yundian just for this?"

"Yes, sir! I buried him and guarded his tomb for some time. I was just about to return to the Central Plains when I ran into this poisonous beggar..."

Hu Guinan glanced at the beggar's body, and his expression suddenly became serious: "Sir, this poisonous beggar reminds me of a famous person in the Yunnan martial arts world!"

"Celebrity? Who?"

"Qi Yunyu, the brocade-robed poison beggar of the Five Poison Sect!"

When Hu Guinan mentioned the Five Poison Sect, he couldn't stop trembling. "Husband, we should leave as soon as possible. If the news of Qi Yunyu's death spreads to the Five Poison Sect and the sect members come to hunt us down, we won't be able to leave!"

Huang Sixi pondered over himself and did not reply.

He knew that Qi Yunyu, the poisonous beggar in brocade clothes, was not only vicious to outsiders, but also to insiders. In the original novel, he participated in the rebellion against the leader of the Five Poisons, He Tieshou, and used a poisonous snake to sneak attack and bite He Tieshou. He was simply an insidious villain.

He took out corpse powder from the sheepskin bag and used it to destroy the corpse first, then signaled Hu Guinan: "After the rain stops, you should leave Yunnan immediately. Qi Yunyu is tracking the poisonous snake alone, and there should be no subordinates following him. The news of his death will not spread for the time being, so you don't have to worry about being intercepted by the Five Poison Sect disciples!"

"What about you, sir?"

"I came to Dali this time just to visit the Five Poison Sect, so I won't leave!"

"My husband, if you don't leave, I will definitely not leave either!"

"You don't have to do this. Although I saved your life, you also gave me two ice toads. These two ice toads are of great use to me and are definitely worth the favor! Just leave in peace and don't feel bad!"

Hu Guinan listened to what Huang Sixi said.

He did not continue to fight for it, but asked: "Please forgive me for being so nosy, where do you plan to visit the Five Poison Sect? The Five Poison Sect has a main altar and five major branches. I have traveled in Yunnan for quite a while, and I am quite familiar with the branches around Dali!"

He did ask about the issue that Huang Sixi was concerned about: "The place I'm going to is the Poison Dragon Cave in Lingshe Mountain. Do you know the situation there?"

"I know it clearly!"

Hu Guinan nodded immediately: "That is the forbidden area of the Five Poison Sect. There are tens of thousands of poisonous snakes in the Poison Dragon Cave, which is used to guard serious criminals! My husband went to the Poison Dragon Cave to save someone? I am nicknamed the Thief, and I can help my husband!"
