Jiaochu

Chapter 540 Medicine Introduction
At dawn, the smell of blood mixed with the stench inside and outside the city had not yet dissipated.

Everyone's armor was stained with blood. Although they had won the battle, they had paid a terrible price. Everyone's eyes were filled with deep fatigue and sorrow.

However, Meng Tianlan woke up that afternoon, which was also a happy event.

Ye Xingye had not woken up yet, and Meng Jingxiu stayed by his bedside without leaving.

When Bai Hu examined Ye Xingye, he found seven small red dots on his neck arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper. When he was studying medicine with Zhen Po, he had heard Zhen Po talk about various kinds of Gu. Ye Xingye was poisoned by the most peculiar kind of Gu, the Tianxing Gu, which would only put a person into a deep sleep and would not harm his life. However, if he continued to sleep, it would not be a good thing. After waking up after ten or eight years, he would become a disabled person, unable to walk, unable to speak, and his memory would regress to that of an ignorant child. He would have to learn everything from scratch.

To cure this poison, one needs a medicine, which is a kind of cicada that lives in extremely cold places.

When talking about cold places, the first thing that comes to mind is the North.

Yan Fei felt that the other party just wanted to lure people over there, so he went to take a look. He asked Bai Hu to draw what the cicada looked like, and he went to the northern border to look for it.

Before leaving, General Yan gave his own battle-hardened yellow horse to Yan Fei, and told him to be careful and go early and come back early. Although he did not reveal his identity, the loving and caring expression in his tone and expression made the grandfather and grandson understand each other tacitly. After bidding farewell solemnly, he left the southern border with four Dragon Shadow Guards.

……

In the evening, Yan Fei and the four Dragon Shadow Guards took a short rest by a small river, letting the horses drink water and eat grass to replenish their strength before continuing on their journey.

Yan Fei also sat under the tree, ate some dry food and drank some water. He saw his grandfather's yellow horse suddenly neigh and run away from the shore. Soon after, the other four horses also ran away from the shore. The five horses stared at the water and kicked their front hooves, as if they had sensed the danger lurking under the water and were anxious.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the surface of the river, creating a fine glow, as if covered with a layer of broken gold. Yan Fei casually threw a stone into the water, disrupting the layer of broken gold. The surface of the water exploded with a bang, and a figure rushed out from the waves and landed in front of Yan Fei.

A few strands of wet hair stuck to his face, making it hard to see what he looked like, but his gaze was extremely fierce and murderous.

"Where's my second brother?"

After hearing this question, Yan Fei knew the other party's identity. He had seen Lu Yan before in Dingcheng, but had never seen Lu Fen. Now he looked at the other party and found that his sinister and vicious aura was very similar to Lu Yan. He simply replied with two words, "Dead."

The murderous eyes suddenly became furious and stared at Yan Fei's face, "Did you kill him?" Yan Fei said, "Want revenge?" The last few rays of sunset light danced on the water, and the slightly shimmering water reflected the life-and-death fight between the two.

Although Lu Fen's martial arts was better than Lu Yan's, he was still no match for Yan Fei. After being kicked to the ground by Yan Fei, he immediately turned over and rolled into the water, smashing the last ray of light flickering on the water surface.

It got dark.

Yan Fei stared at the water surface. He saw the outline of a figure slowly floating up from the bottom of the water. When the person surfaced, two Dragon Shadow Guards were about to come over to catch him, but Yan Fei raised his hand to stop them.

The pair of eyes suddenly opened, and a creepy murderous aura spread out, making the sky around them darker.

Lu Fen stood straight up from the water with a creepy smile on his lips. The most creepy thing was his pair of black pupils without whites. It was the same change that happened to Lu Yan after he took the medicine before, but Lu Yan's black pupils only appeared for a moment, and there was a circle of dark golden halo in the center of the black pupils, which was about the same size as a normal pupil, as if it circled a pair of normal eyes, which were all black except for the whites.

Yan Fei guessed that this should be the real living dead.

Lu Fen stepped on the water, staring at Yan Fei with his creepy black pupils, and said with a creepy smile, "If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I can consider letting you die more quickly." "Then try it." Yan Fei took the first step. Lu Fen stood still and let the sharp tip of the knife stab him. The tip of the knife was like hitting an iron wall, but Yan Fei accumulated strength and struck again, and the tip of the knife still pierced into the iron-like bones and tendons, flowing out dark red blood. Lu Fen was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Yan Fei to be able to hurt himself. He was immediately enraged. He flashed and appeared above Yan Fei's head. He stepped down and stepped on the knife that Yan Fei was blocking above his head.

A dark light flashed in those black pupils, and Yan Fei's sword broke. Both the man and the sword fell into the water at the same time. Four chains were swung at the same time to entangle Lu Yan. The next moment, all the chains were broken, and the four Dragon Shadow Guards were also blown away by the shock wave, and hit the tree trunks behind them hard, and fell to the ground and fainted.

The pair of black pupils glanced at the four people who had fainted, and then dodged into the water.

……

The hand pinched Yan Fei's neck and slowly tightened, deliberately torturing him and letting him slowly enjoy the feeling of suffocation. When Yan Fei stopped struggling and made no movement, Lu Fen let go of his hand with a grim smile, letting him fall to the bottom of the river and slowly rot, becoming bait for fish and shrimp.

……

"Brother Yan, Brother Yan..."

He felt his body was light, as if he was floating upwards, and he heard someone calling him. Who was calling him... He remembered, it was her!
He suddenly opened his eyes, and a light flashed in his eyes.

……

"Kneel down and beg me, and I will consider sparing your lives."

Lü Fen was standing on the back of a Dragon Shadow Guard, with three more lying in front of him. The four had not fainted before, pretending to faint was just a delaying tactic, and when Lü Fen went underwater again, the four were also ready to go in to rescue people, but just as they swam into the river, they flew out of the river and crashed into the tree again, causing the four to spit blood, feeling that all the bones in their bodies were broken by the opponent's internal force, and they lay on the ground unable to get up.

Then Lu Fen emerged from the water again and stepped on the back of a Dragon Shadow Guard. The Dragon Shadow Guard spat out a large mouthful of blood and was already out of breath. The other three Dragon Shadow Guards lay on the ground and tried to stand up. They would not beg for mercy even if they died.

Lu Fen clapped his hands, "You have guts." He grinned, "Then I will break each of your proud bones one by one to see how hard your bones are."

"Then ask me if I agree first."

Lu Fen turned around and saw that Yan Fei was alive again. He clapped his hands again and said with a grim smile, "Very good. Then I will test how hard your bones are."

The two men appeared in the air at the same time, and their figures fighting were so fast that it was difficult to see clearly.

After about a cup of tea, there was a loud bang and a heavy object fell to the ground.

The dark golden halo in the black pupils went out, and the pupils suddenly turned gray. The next moment, the hair turned completely white, and the face suddenly became shriveled and old. There was no trace of flesh and blood except for the face wrinkled like old tree bark.

When the wind blew, the whole person turned into ashes.

Yan Fei went to check on the four Dragon Shadow Guards. All four of them took life-saving pills, and the seriously injured Dragon Shadow Guard should not continue on his journey. When they arrived at the town ahead, Yan Fei left the four of them to recover, and he rode the yellow horse to the northern border alone.
