Otherworld Qin

Chapter 30 32 Careful Design
For the next few days, Shengxuan hid in the inn during the day and rarely went out, only occasionally went out to buy something, Xiaoer didn't pay much attention to it, just thought he was buying some goods, and at night, he would go to a restaurant to eat something and take a look inside , but this time he just sat down for a while and left, and then went to check the movement around the general's mansion. After a few days, he really saw something. He found that some servants always carried food boxes to several rooms to deliver food. And those few places are remote and quiet places, it seems that there should be secret sentries hidden there, he took out a pen and paper to draw these places one by one.

When I got back to the inn and just lay down, I heard some movement downstairs, "May I ask the guest, but is the guest of the general's mansion Chu Zhengnan Master Chu?" "I am not the master, but I am Chu Zhengnan." Xiaoer was embarrassed After a while, he immediately said, "Oh, Mr. Chu is really joking. We have reserved the room for you for several days, and people come to the general's mansion every day to urge you,..." "I know, but I, Chu Zhengnan, have always had me According to the principle, I will come when I should come, and I will tell you again that I am not an adult." Xiaoer was stuck again, and then said, "It's getting late, Mr. Chu,,, since you are here, please go into the room quickly. Rest, I will report to the General's Mansion right now, if you need anything else, just ask, the General's Mansion will be responsible for all your expenses here." "I know, let me tell you one last time that I am not a sir." "Oh ,, this,,,," Before Xiao Er could finish speaking, the door downstairs had already closed with a bang.

Cheng Xuan couldn't help but wonder why this person spoke so aggressively, but the person invited by the General's Mansion must have some background, "The General's Mansion? This person was invited by the General's Mansion. Could it be that the person who came at this time is against me?"

Not half an hour after lying down, he heard the sound of practicing exercises in the small courtyard downstairs. Sheng Xuan hurriedly got up and gently opened the window to look down. He saw Chu Zhengnan practicing boxing and kicking in the courtyard, pale golden His fighting spirit surrounded his hands, and every punch made the surrounding air make a slight crackling sound. This scene couldn't help but surprise him. Could it be that this person already has eighth-level fighting spirit?If this is the case, I am definitely not his opponent, and I don't know who the general's mansion has invited. It seems that this revenge will be hard to avenge.

The sound of exercising immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the tenants, and a few people ran out and shouted, "Who is it so early in the morning that you don't want people to sleep?" The golden fighting energy covered the whole body, and then there was a sudden shock, and there was a bang sound as if the whole yard shook, and several people shrank their heads and ran back to the house in fright.

Hearing the shout, Xiao Er hurried over, rubbing his sleepy eyes just in time to see this scene, which immediately made him shiver, and hurried over and said softly, "Chu Da, Mr. Chu,,, Grandpa Chu, you are me!" Dear grandpa, all the people living upstairs and downstairs are guests, look at you..." Chu Zhengnan stopped and walked towards the room without saying anything. Bu suddenly turned around and said softly, "Bring me a basin of water." Only then did Xiaoer realize, "Oh, well, Chu,,, the guest officer will fetch you water immediately."

Cheng Xuan couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw it, "This Chu Zhengnan has quite a personality, his whole body is as sharp as a sword." He walked back to the bed and just lay down, not long after he heard the door downstairs It opened with a creak, and a person walked out with clanging footsteps. Sheng Xuan hurriedly got up again and went to the bedside to see that Chu Zhengnan was walking towards the outside of the shop with a two-handed epee on his back.

Seeing him leave, Shengxuan couldn't help but start to think, the General's Mansion at this time can be said to be a dragon's lake and a tiger's den, if he really went for revenge, he might be throwing himself into a trap, but obviously the enemy is right in front of him, and he really wouldn't be reconciled if he didn't take revenge.

Now there is a master living downstairs, and Shengxuan dare not go out in the middle of the night anymore, fortunately, he has already figured out the situation a few days ago, although he didn't go in to check, but he has already thought of several routes to get in and out, fortunately Chu Zhengnan arrived in time If he didn't show up, otherwise he would really dive right in. Now that he knew this, he had to make preparations, but he had no idea what preparations he had to make for a while. Since he couldn't sleep, he just got up and walked around the street.

Walking on the street and looking at all kinds of things around him, but none of them was what he wanted. Suddenly, a burst of fragrance came, which made his heart tremble. Although I don't know how Ye Wu's Mixiang is made, but I also know the formula of several Mixiang. Thinking of this, I can't help but have an idea, and hurriedly turned around to look for a pharmacy.

I searched all the pharmacies in the city, and finally bought all the medicines and antidotes that I could buy, but there were still two herbs missing, one was ecstasy grass and the other was corpse ash worm, only these two were the best. For important things, corpse gray worms are usually found near the tomb, but ecstasy grass is more difficult to find. It seems that he can only try his luck outside the city. Suddenly he remembered something and hurried back to the largest In a pharmacy, he took the banknotes at the counter and quickly wrote down a few herbs. The clerk was startled when he saw it, looked at Shengxuan and then the prescription, "Little brother, these are all poisons, what are you buying them for?" Use?" "Oh, there are too many rats in my house recently, so I want to get some medicine to poison the rats." "I'm afraid the store won't sell it to you, so you'd better go to another place to have a look."

At this moment, the shopkeeper came over, "I dare not sell any prescription, bring it to me to have a look." Sheng Xuan followed the sound, and saw a middle-aged man with a goatee walking over, with a pair of eyes on his thin face. The yellow eyes flashed slyly, and he couldn't help thinking about it, he hurried over and said, "You must be the shopkeeper, the house has recently recruited mice, so I want to buy some poison and take it home to cure the mice." As he spoke, he handed over the prescription, Then he secretly took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and passed it in his hand. The shopkeeper couldn't help being surprised when he saw the prescription. According to this formula, even a group of cows might be poisoned to death. Using this drug for rats is probably just an excuse. I just wanted to say He didn't sell it but he had an extra ten taels of silver in his hand, so he immediately smiled, "Why don't you receive the reception in the back hall when the distinguished guest comes?"

Shengxuan smiled slightly when he heard this, and followed the shopkeeper to the back hall, where the waiter hurriedly brought some refreshments to entertain him, "I need these herbs urgently, can you see if I can get them right away?" "Oh, that's it, but you The prescription seems to be too strong. It’s not good if you hurt people because of poisonous rats. Our store has a special prescription for poisonous rats. It contains not only the medicine you mentioned above but also some precious medicinal materials. The price is naturally a bit more expensive. I just don’t know if my little brother can accept it.” After speaking, a pair of yellow eyes looked at Sheng Xuan with a sly light.

Sheng Xuan smiled, "It would be great if the boss had such a prescription. I was also troubled by rats in my house. There is nothing I can do about it. As long as I can get rid of it as soon as possible, you can grab any medicinal materials. Money is not a problem." He took out a few pills as he spoke. Each piece of gold weighed twelve taels, and then slowly put it away before the shopkeeper's eyes, which immediately made the yellow eyes shine.

After a while, the shopkeeper wrote down a prescription in person, but there were many more herbs on it. In addition to what he listed, ginseng, musk, and other precious herbs were added, and the quantity was not small. These were clearly used to treat Jinchuang. Because the medicine is quite expensive, few people pay attention to it on weekdays. It seems that the shopkeeper took the opportunity to dump all the stock to himself. Cheng Xuan smiled slightly and came up with another idea, "How about this, please trouble the shopkeeper to prepare some more medicinal materials for me. As he spoke, he took a pen and paper and wrote down a few more medicinal materials, this time they were some medicines for detoxifying and treating Jinchuang, "I want to buy all these medicinal materials in the city. I wonder if the shopkeeper can help?"

"It's easy to say, easy to say, Xiao Caizi, why don't you hurry up and get the medicine for this boss? You really don't have the slightest sense of sight." Money is of course easy to do. After an hour, almost all the medicinal materials he wanted in the city were bought and piled up on the ground. , actually packed a few big bags, but Shengxuan also paid 20 taels of gold for it, the money is nothing to him now, so after taking what he needed, Shengxuan bought dozens of large and small porcelain bottles , and then happily walked out of the store with the sacks on his shoulders. This scene surprised everyone in the store. These sacks weighed at least a few hundred catties, which is so much strength for a teenage child.

Turning the corner of the street to find a place where no one was around, Shengxuan hurriedly put the medicines into the ring, and then swaggered out of the city. He wanted to quickly find the two things that the medicine was missing, and he also wanted to find a blacksmith shop Order some appliances.

Not far from the east gate, I saw a few houses, and heard the sound of clanging iron from afar, Sheng Xuan couldn't help laughing, it's easy now, originally I was looking for a place to build something, but I came across it by such a coincidence.

Walking into the blacksmith shop, after talking with the master blacksmith, he found that not only ordinary agricultural tools, but also weapons, bows and crossbows can be made here. The arrowheads of crossbow arrows must be specially made. Not only are they larger than the arrowheads of ordinary crossbow arrows, but they also have two blood grooves on them. Hand crossbows don’t need handles as long as the crossbow machine is complete. The size should be as short as possible, and it must be more than ten stones. Hard crossbow, in addition to this, a thousand four-corner spikes were also ordered, and there were barbed blood grooves on it. The blacksmith just looked at him curiously, and agreed without asking. Shengxuan paid the deposit, five days It can be delivered later, but for such a medium-sized blacksmith shop, it must be the limit of production, which is why Shengxuan agreed to pay double the price.

Thirty miles to the east of the city, there is a random graveyard. Countless unnamed corpses from battles over the years are buried here. The tombs are covered with hills of various sizes, and it looks desolate. There are crows and wild dogs walking through it from time to time, making the atmosphere even more dignified. Fortunately, it will definitely be creepy during the day and at night.

Cheng Xuan walked in slowly, only feeling the strong breath of death, he didn't care so much now, he looked carefully at the tombs, although they were just small dirt bags, but they represented the once fresh life, now They could only keep company with weeds. Suddenly, a ecstasy grass appeared in his eyes. The grass had already turned into withered grass in early winter, but it did not affect the efficacy of the medicine. He hurried over and carefully dug the whole ecstasy grass Then put it into Najie, turned around for a while and found a few more plants. In less than half an hour, dozens of ecstasy plants had been obtained. It was beyond his expectation that there were so many ecstasy plants here. When he was ecstasy grass, he suddenly found a small gray insect under the root of the grass, which disappeared in a blink of an eye. "Corpse gray insect?" A group of corpse gray worms were crawling around under the bones. He didn't expect that these worms hadn't been frozen to death. At this moment, he couldn't care less about other things. The two materials were found in such a short time, he bought the bone back, and said "no wonder, no wonder." Then he stood up and looked at the dozens of worms in the bottle excitedly, just as he was excited about finding the two materials. Suddenly, a figure appeared in the distance. How could there be a figure in such a remote place?He hurriedly found a dead tree to hide behind, and carefully poked his head out to look over there.

I saw a man slowly approaching a big rock, and then sat upright on the rock, put a two-handed epee flat on his knees, and slowly supported the hilt with one hand, lowering his eyes as if thinking With his mind on his mind, he took a closer look, isn't this Chu Zhengnan?What is he doing here?The sudden appearance of a master made Sheng Xuan a little flustered, the other party didn't seem to notice him, he hurriedly and carefully exited the chaotic graveyard and walked quietly towards the city.

"Is this a coincidence? Or has he already discovered himself?" This question has been bothering him, but after thinking about it, he feels that it must be a coincidence. If he really found himself, he might have reported to the general's mansion, or simply captured himself. .

Shengxuan wandered outside the city for a long time, and finally he found a deserted village. The dilapidated walls showed that no one lived here for a long time. It seems that the years of civil strife have brought great disasters to the people of Nanming. The village must have been very lively before, but now it can only be a nest of hares and pheasants.

After wandering around the village for a long time, he couldn't find anything capable of refining medicine. In the end, he simply found a big stone, and then cut out a circle with his hands like a knife. He didn't know what shape he wanted to cut out. I didn't plan, I just cut and dug casually, until I hollowed out a piece of utensil and it took shape, I took a closer look and turned out a three-legged stone tripod, how did I feel strange, this thing is not commonly used, but I always There is a somewhat familiar feeling.

Next, refining the medicine made him feel even more strange. He was worried that he would not be able to make the medicine, so he used some medicinal materials to make some golden sore medicine, but he was surprised to find that he was like a master of medicine. The refinement of the medicine, every step is very precise, and the mixed medicine will be naturally formed into pills by himself. This surprising discovery immediately gave him a lot of confidence, and he started to refine the poison and the antidote to the drug, and then put the poison And drugs are also refined out.

I caught a wild rabbit nearby and tried the medicine. I felt that the dose of the drug was a bit light. The rabbit who had been fascinated woke up within a moment, and the smell was strange and unpleasant. The medicine was further refined, and a little aromatic herbal medicine was added in it. This time, it smelled a faint fragrance, and the effect was quite obvious. Just a little bit made the rabbit sleepy, and it still didn't wake up after an hour. Come on, this effect is enough, he experimented with the poison again, just dipped a little bit of poison on a straw stick, and the rabbit's soul flew into the sky, looking at the bleeding rabbit, Chengxuan couldn't help feeling guilty for a while. Feeling, I stood up and bowed to the rabbit and got up to go back to the inn. Only then did I realize that it was already late at night and the city gate had already been closed. in the dark.

Carefully returning to the inn, he found that Chu Zhengnan hadn't come back. He couldn't help but wonder why this guy felt mysterious, and he was specially invited by the General's Mansion. This made him even more suspicious. He decided to take this opportunity Follow up and check secretly, anyway, it will take a few days to finish the things I ordered.

The next day, Chu Zhengnan got up early again, and Sheng Xuan hurriedly put on his clothes and followed him quietly. He saw Chu Zhengnan go out the east gate all the way to the messy grave the day before yesterday, still looking for the stone to go up. Once he sat down, he didn't move anymore. Sheng Xuan waited in the dark for a full day, but the other party sat there motionless like a stone statue.

It will still be the same for the next two days, which makes Shengxuan even more strange. He sits in a random graveyard every day, and he only returns to the inn after midnight every day. He will go somewhere early the next morning. Does this person like That kind of environment won't work?

It's already the fourth day, and Sheng Xuan still didn't see anything, so he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and he got used to it after staying in the random graveyard for several days, so he couldn't help but find a sunny place to lie down, quietly. Quietly waiting for Chu Zhengnan's movement, suddenly a strange feeling swept over him, he couldn't help being startled, at this moment Chu Zhengnan had opened his eyes, "Friend, you have been with me for a few days, what's the matter?" You might as well come out and talk."
