Anecdote of the Yellow River

Chapter 13 Cold Jade Toad (3)
I thought Professor Ye was suffering from some kind of hidden illness, and just as I was about to go over to call him, he suddenly turned his head.I saw that Professor Ye's face was covered with a layer of black air, and his eyes were bloodshot and red, like the eyes of a devil.What was even more frightening was that a layer of dark green fine hair grew wildly on his face like weeds, covering his entire face in an instant.At this time, Professor Ye looked like a green-faced monster.He raised his head to the sky and let out a low and painful roar, and a cloud of green corpse gas shot out from his mouth.

what? !

I couldn't believe my eyes, Professor Ye turned into a dead body? !

I took a step back in horror and continued to hide in the darkness, my heart beating wildly.

I don't know how I feel at this moment.nervous?fear?anger?Hate?regret?sad?

At this time, Professor Ye held the cold jade toad in his palm with trembling hands.Under the bath of the moonlight, the cold jade toad glowed with a snow-white halo.Layers of cold air slowly rose from the toad's body, wrapping the toad in the middle.

I couldn't help but exclaim in my heart, "This is really a top-notch treasure!"

Professor Ye opened his mouth, stuffed the cold jade toad into his mouth suddenly, and then sat down on the floor.

Professor Ye's face was quickly covered with a layer of frost, and that layer of frost quickly spread along Professor Ye's neck and towards his limbs.But in the blink of an eye, every inch of Professor Ye's skin was covered.At this moment, Professor Ye seemed to be wearing a wonderful coat made of frost.The moonlight fell on his body, reflecting a deserted brilliance.

I had a panoramic view of this weird scene, my mind went blank, I stared stupidly at Professor Ye who was not far away, and couldn't say a word.

After about half a stick of incense, the layer of frost covering the surface of Professor Ye's skin gradually dissipated.Strange to say, when the frost dissipated, the green hair on Professor Ye's face also disappeared, and his eyes returned to normal.I suddenly realized that the cold jade toad has the miraculous effect of restraining corpse transformation.

It seems that the reason why Professor Ye took that cold jade toad as his own is to restrain the corpse poison in his body, but... But why did he suffer from corpse poison?I have been with Professor Ye for six or seven years, how come I never knew about this matter?
At first, I thought that Professor Ye was just trying to steal treasures, but now that I know Professor Ye's true intention of stealing the cold jade toad, I suddenly felt a little more sympathy for him, and my heart was not as angry and sad as before.

Professor Ye spat out the cold jade toad from his mouth and let out a long sigh.Just as he turned and walked back, I came out from the dark corner and appeared in front of Professor Ye.

When Professor Ye saw me, his face was filled with astonishment, "Tuobagu... you... why are you here?"

I said, "Oh, I went to buy Liangpi just now, and when I came back, I saw you on the roof. I was worried about your safety, so I followed you up. Professor Ye, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to follow you!"

Professor Ye sighed, "So, you saw what happened just now?"

I nodded, "So the stolen cold jade toad is in your hands!"

Professor Ye's face was a little ugly, "I'm sorry. Did I disappoint you? As your tutor, I actually guarded myself!"

I said: "Professor Ye, you should know better than me that stealing such a precious treasure will lead to imprisonment!"

Professor Ye said: "Of course I know this! But I can't help it, I need it! This cold jade toad can help me restrain the corpse poison in my body. If I didn't bring this cold jade toad today, I'm afraid I would have already died The corpse has changed, can you still stand here and talk to me?"

I didn't say anything, because what Professor Ye said was true.

Professor Ye said: "Tuobagu, you are my most proud disciple. If you want to see my corpse turn into a corpse, then you should go to the relevant department to expose me! If you still want me to live, then please report what you saw today. The matter is rotten in the stomach, don't mention it to anyone!"

Looking at Professor Ye's raspy face, I can't find any reason to reject him. I know that covering up is a very bad thing, but I can't just watch Professor Ye's corpse change!In the face of friendship and principles, I still chose friendship, nodded and agreed to Professor Ye's request, "I will keep everything a secret for you today, I swear, I will never mention it to anyone! But, you have to tell me, you When did you get the corpse poison? Why didn't I ever know?"

Professor Ye took me to the edge of the roof, and the night wind messed up his gray hair.The street below was dimly lit, Professor Ye sighed heavily, "That was already seven years ago! I have been reluctant to bring up that period of the past, but since you asked today, I will tell you! Seven years ago, several explorers obtained a strange human skin map by chance, which recorded a very secret Miao ancient tomb. At the invitation of several explorers, I entered with them The primeval jungles of the Southwest!"

"Have you found the ancient tomb?" I asked.

Professor Ye said: "Under the guidance of the human skin map, we have gone through many difficulties and obstacles, and finally found the ancient tomb. But what we didn't expect was that the ancient tomb was full of dangers, and there were poisonous Miao Jiang everywhere. Old Zongzi. During the breakout, I was betrayed by my companions, they left me as a bait to attract Old Zongzi, and then they took the opportunity to escape."

I scolded angrily: "Bastard, how could they do this?"

Professor Ye smiled bitterly, "Human beings are the most selfish animals in nature. For profit and life, they can sell anything, whether it is belief or friendship, whether it is soul or dignity! Look..."

Professor Ye took off his coat as he spoke, revealing his broad shoulders, and then pointed to an ugly scar on his left shoulder and said to me: "At the beginning, I was too lucky to break out of the encirclement and survived. But unfortunately, I was bitten by a zongzi, and I bit off a piece of meat the size of the mouth of a bowl, and I was infected with corpse poison because of it."

The scar on Professor Ye's left shoulder is very obvious. After so many years, the wound still hasn't healed. It looks like a piece of flesh has been torn off by something, which is particularly terrifying.

I clenched my fists tightly, "Then did you seek revenge from these people later? Are these people still alive? Haven't they been condemned by God?"

Professor Ye said: "Oh, when will the grievances be repaid! Ever since I escaped from the ancient tomb, those people have disappeared. They may have died, or they may have hidden themselves."

I said, "How come you never mentioned these things to us before?"

Professor Ye said: "This is not a glorious thing. What is there to mention? Every night when the moon is full, the corpse poison in my body will break out. I can bear it in the first few years, but in the past two years, the corpse poison It has penetrated deep into the eight meridians. If I can’t drive it out of the body, once the corpse poison attacks my heart, I will turn into an old rice dumpling with green hair. Just thinking about it makes people shudder! I found this in Cao Cao’s mouth that day. When I was only a cold jade toad, I knew that this cold jade toad must have the miraculous effect of restraining corpse poison. It was stuffed in the mouth of the dead corpse to prevent the corpse from changing. In order to save this old life, I had to make a The act of stealing hid the cold jade toad. Today, I felt that the corpse poison was about to break out, so I came to the rooftop to use the cold jade toad to expel the poison, but I didn’t expect you to find it.”

I asked worriedly: "Can this cold jade toad completely expel the corpse poison in your body?"

Professor Ye said: "It should be possible to use it a few times! If not, I will keep it with me at all times, so that I can restrain the corpse poison in my body at any time. Tuoba Gu, it's the same sentence, I hope it will happen tonight Don't tell anyone about it!"

I raised my right hand and said, "I, Tuoba Gu, swear to God that I will never reveal even a word of Professor Ye Sheng's secret!"

Professor Ye nodded in relief, "Let's go, go back to rest early, or Gu Meidi will become suspicious."

When I got off the elevator, Professor Ye suddenly asked me, "How are you and Gu Meidi doing?"

I was startled, and my face flushed, "What's the matter?"

Professor Ye smiled, "Stop pretending, kid, can you hide your thoughtfulness from me? I eat more salt than you eat, and these eyes are amazing! This girl Gu Meidi It’s pretty good, you have to make good use of it, I’ve tried my best to create opportunities for you, I hope you won’t disappoint me!”

With enthusiasm in my heart, I slipped out a sentence when I was excited, "I promise to complete the task!"

Back in the room, Gu Meidi was doing squats in the room, I looked at her in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Gu Meidi said: "You can be regarded as coming back. I am almost starving to death. I heard that doing exercises can forget hunger."

I smiled and handed the Liangpi in my hand to her, "Nonsense! Exercising will only make your stomach more hungry. Eat it quickly, the authentic Shaanxi Liangpi tastes authentic!"

Gu Meidi took the cold skin, and immediately buried his head in eating, "Why did you come back now?"

I made an excuse, "The Liangpi business is so good that I waited in a long queue to buy it."

Gu Meidi said: "That's really hard work for you! In view of your hard work, I decided to reward you!"

As soon as I heard this, I felt happy in my heart, my little heart jumped wildly, she wants to reward me?What will reward me?Should I be rewarded with a kiss?Or reward me with being able to sleep in her bed?Wow, that's awesome!

Gu Meidi said loudly: "I reward you for continuing to bring me breakfast tomorrow morning!"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and I was so shocked that I couldn't say a word.
