Chapter 1 Poison and hidden weapons

'Shuzhong Tangmen' is not a martial arts sect, nor is it a secret gang, but a family.

However, this family has been in the middle of Sichuan for more than 200 years, and no disciples of any sect or gang have dared to step into their territory.Because their hidden poison weapons are really terrible.

It is said that they have seven kinds of hidden weapons, but the common ones in the rivers and lakes are only poisonous needles, poisonous caltrops, and soul-breaking sand.

Although there are only three kinds, it has already made people in the world frightened when they hear the news, because no matter who is hit by any of their hidden weapons, they can only wait for death, waiting for the wound to fester, and die slowly. Any kind of death is painful.

It's not that their hidden weapon has no antidote, but the Tang family's antidote, just like the Tang family's poison hidden weapon, will always be one of the biggest secrets in the Jianghu. Except for the direct descendants of the Tang family, absolutely no one knows its secret , even among the descendants of the Tang family, there will never be more than three people who can have this kind of unique antidote.If you are injured, you can only find the antidote by going to these three people.

At that time, you encounter a problem that is not only very serious but also impossible to solve at all-you don't even know who these three people are?
Even if you know who they are, you can't find them.Even if you can find them, they will never give you the antidote.

So if you are hit by the Tang family's hidden poison weapon, you will have to wait for death, waiting for the wound to fester, and die slowly.

very slowly very slowly—

Wuji is not dead yet.In a coma, he always felt that he was tossing and heaving, like a leaf in the raging sea.

But when he woke up, he was lying on a very comfortable bed smoothly.

Xuanyuan Yiguang stood at the bedside and looked at him, with a very funny and serious expression on his face, which made his already strange face look very funny.Seeing Wuji opened his eyes, this legendary man smiled like a child.

He winked and smiled, "Did you know that I made a bet with myself too?"

Wuji licked his chapped and bitter lips, and asked in a weak voice, "What's the bet?"

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "I bet I will be able to save your life." '

His eyes shone brightly, and he smiled more happily than a child, and said again: "I finally won this time!"

□□□

Wuji has already started to eat some sweet porridge made with ginseng and bird's nest.His mouth was bitter all the time, so bitter that he wanted to vomit.

After eating sweet porridge, I feel better.

The porridge was well cooked, and the arrangement in the room was just like this sweet porridge, neither bland nor sweet, just right.He believes that this will never be Xuanyuan Yiguang's home, a gambler who loses every gamble, maybe he will have a nice house, but there will never be such a home.

After his physical strength recovered a little bit, he couldn't help asking: 'What is this place?'

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "This is the eighth place." '

What does 'eighth place' mean?
Wuji doesn't understand.

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "Last night, I took you to seven or eight places. '

He rode the horse all night, and he rode very fast—that's why Wuji always felt as if he was in the waves.

He found seven or eight people who might heal Wuji's wounds, but as soon as others heard that the wounded were the Tang family's unique poison hidden weapon, they had no choice but to say 'sorry' to him!
Xuanyuan Yiguang asked again: "Do you know why you are still alive?"

Wuji said, "Why?"

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "First, because the three tortoise sons surnamed Tang are not masters of the Tang family, and the hidden weapons they use are the dregs picked up by the descendants of the Tang family." '

He didn't exaggerate: "If the poisonous thornbush that hit you was fine, now you have rotted into a pile of mud." '

Wuji smiled wryly.

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "Secondly, because the owner here happened to have a snow lotus seed from Tianshan Mountain, and happened to be my good friend!"

Snow Lotus Seed of Tianshan Mountain is the holy medicine for detoxification recognized by everyone in the martial arts world. It is a supreme treasure, and its value is far more precious than precious stones ten times its size.

The owner here is actually willing to offer such a precious medicine to a stranger. Although it is Xuanyuan Yiguang's face, Wuji is still equally grateful to this person.

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "Third, of course it is because I have already made a bet with myself that I cannot let you die." '

Wuji suddenly nodded and said, "Because you want to know why I can always throw three sixes? Did I use some tricks? You want to find out whether you were wronged when you lost that time?"

Xuanyuan Yiguang stared at him: "You know?"

Wuji said, "Of course I know." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "Did you do this on purpose?"

Wuji said, "Of course I did it on purpose." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "Why?"

Wuji said: "Because I can't find you, I have no choice but to ask you to come to me." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "You know that I will definitely come to you?"

Wuji smiled and said, "If you don't understand this matter, you will definitely not be able to eat." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang laughed loudly: "Okay, good boy, you really have two hands!"

Wuji said, "It's more than two hands!"

Xuanyuan Yiguang suddenly stopped laughing, and stared at Wuji with a stern face, saying: "Did you use some kind of trick? Did I lose that time or not?"

Wuji smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Xuanyuan Yiguang suddenly jumped up, a full foot high, and shouted: "My boy, I worked so hard to save your little life, and you're going to repay me like this?"

Wuji was not intimidated by him, but smiled more happily: "No matter what, since you couldn't see it at the time, you had to admit defeat." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said angrily, "Didn't you see the gold I exported!"

Wuji said: "That's what you lost to Mr. Xiao, don't forget that you also lost something to me." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "What did I lose to you?"

Wuji said, "Take me a word." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang's memory seems to have suddenly become very bad, he shook his head and said: "I can't remember!"

Wuji said: "You should remember, you said that as long as I can throw a leopard, you can do whatever I want!"

No matter how much Xuanyuan Yiguang thought about it, he couldn't help it anymore, he was not a rambunctious person, and his memory was actually not bad.

He jumped up again and shouted: "What do you want? Want me to marry you as a wife?"

Wuji said, "I just want you to find someone for me." '

There was eager hope in his eyes, and he said again: "You said that you are not only good at losing money, but also good at finding people." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang was a little happy again, the words 'No. [-] in the world' were always liked by everyone.

He immediately asked: 'Who are you looking for?'

Wuji held his hand tightly, controlled his voice, and said word by word: "Shangguan Ren." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang seemed to be taken aback: "The Shangguan Blade of Dafengtang?"

Wuji nodded, with cold sweat dripping from grief, anger and hatred.

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "You are Zhao Jian's son, so you want to seek revenge from Shangguan Ren?"

Wuji nodded and said sadly: "You saved my life, I will always remember that I am not an ungrateful person, but I must find Shangguan Ren!"

Xuanyuan Yiguang said, "You don't even have any clues?"

Wuji said, "Not at all!"

Xuanyuan Yiguang stopped talking, walked around the room for a dozen times, and suddenly said loudly: "Okay, I will look for it for you, but..."

Wuji said, "But how?"

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "So what if you found him? With your little ability, even the three little bastards of the Tang family almost killed you. Why do you have to deal with Shangguan Ren?"

Wuji was silent, and after a long time, he continued, "I've thought of that too!"

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "Oh?"

Wuji said: "Since I came to Mr. Xiao's place, I already know that there are far more martial arts in this world than I imagined, but my martial arts are far worse than I imagined!"

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "You finally have some self-knowledge!"

Wuji said: "I want revenge, not to die." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "You are not stupid!"

Wuji said: "So as long as you can find Shangguan Ren for me, I will have a way to deal with him!"

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "Finding Shangguan Ren is not an easy task!"

Wuji said, "I know." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "He must also know what he has done. He is shameless, so he will definitely change his name and surname, and find a place that no one can think of to hide!"

Wuji said: "I only hope that you can give me news within a year!"

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "Can you wait for a year?"

Wuji said: "Some people can wait ten years for revenge, why can't I wait one year?"

His attitude was very calm, and he was no longer an ignorant young man who was blinded by hatred and ran around.

He appeared confident and determined.

Xuanyuan Yiguang stared at him for a long time, then suddenly stretched out his hand, patted him hard on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, if you come here again in a year, I will definitely have news for you!"

　He didn't allow Wuji to express his gratitude, and immediately asked: "Now can you tell me, did you use tricks?"

Wuji said: "I did use some tricks, but not the doctor's tricks." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "What method did you use?"

Wuji said: "It is a method that will never be exposed by others. Even if I tell others that I used this method, others will have to admit defeat!"

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "Why?"

Wuji nodded and said, "Do you have dice?"

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "Of course there is." '

Like most real gamblers, he carried his favorite gambling paraphernalia with him.

What he likes are dice, and he took out a lot of them casually.

Wuji picked up one and said, "Each side of the dice is engraved with numbers, and the numbers on each side are different. The side with six points is usually heavier than the side with five points." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "Why?"

Wuji said: "Because the paint on the dots is heavier than the bones used to make dice." '

He added: "If the dice were made of jade, the side at six would be lighter than five!"

He observed very carefully, Xuanyuan Yiguang rolled the dice all day long, but he never thought of this reason.

Wuji said: "Of course, the difference between the severity is very small. Most people will not notice it at all. Even if they can notice it, they will not be able to detect it. But a well-trained person is different!"

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "What's the difference?"

Wuji said: "If you practice often, you can take advantage of this difference in weight and throw the side you want on it, that is to say, you can throw as many points as you want!" '

Xuanyuan Yiguang opened his eyes wide and listened, as if he was listening to a myth in the list of gods.

Wuji said: "I started practicing when I was eight or nine years old. Even when I was sleeping, I would bring three dice to the quilt to throw. I don't know how many times I have to throw it every day. I practiced until I was 20 years old. Definitely can throw the ideas I want. '

Xuanyuan Yiguang was stunned for a long time, then slowly exhaled, and said, "How did you think of practicing this kind of thing?"

Wuji said: "We have never allowed gambling. Only around the Chinese New Year, the ban was lifted for a few days, but children are still not allowed to gamble." '

He nodded and said: "Because we children are not allowed to gamble, we want to gamble more and more." '

Of course Xuanyuan Yiguang understands this kind of psychology very well.

Wuji said: "At that time, my gambling luck was very bad, and I had to lose all my lucky money every year. The more I thought about it, the more I became unconvinced, and I vowed to win back all the money I exported!"

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "Later, of course you won back." '

Wuji smiled and said: "After I practiced for two or three years, my luck just started to improve. Later, when everyone was rolling the dice, as soon as they saw me walking by, they would immediately scatter and flee." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang stroked his palms and laughed so hard that he even bent his waist.

Just think about Wuji's 'prestige', this gambler who loses every bet and loses all over the world, he becomes as excited and happy as a child.

Wuji glanced at him out of the corner of his eyes, and said, "It's a pity you only started practicing now, it's already too late!"

Xuanyuan Yiguang immediately stopped laughing: "Why?"

Wuji said: "Because adults' hands are not as dexterous as children, and they can't play dice all day long under the quilt like children." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang grabbed Wuji and said, "Do you think there is any way to remedy this?"

Wuji didn't speak, just shook his head.

Xuanyuan Yiguang was stunned for a long time, then suddenly laughed again, as if thinking of something extremely proud again.

Xuanyuan Yiguang just smiled and didn't speak.

The door was open, and suddenly someone coughed gently outside the door, a middle-aged beautiful woman in elegant clothes walked in, holding a little girl's shoulder, and said sweetly: "What makes you so happy?"

The little girl's big eyes rolled around, and she giggled and said, "I just heard that uncle said that he wanted to marry Mr. Zhao as his wife. Mr. Zhao must have agreed to it now!"

The woman glared at the child, and couldn't help laughing herself.

Seeing this woman approaching, Xuanyuan Yiguang unexpectedly became more disciplined, even a little restrained.

Wuji couldn't figure out the relationship between them, Xuanyuan Yiguang had already said to him: "This Mrs. Mei is the one who really saved your life..."

The little girl rushed to say: "I was the one who really saved his life. Mother gave me that snow lotus seed already." '

Mrs. Mei glared at her again, and said in a bag, "Children have no rules. Don't laugh at Mr. Zhao." '

Wuji quickly stood up, wanted to say a few words of polite gratitude, but didn't know what to say.

This kind of life-saving grace cannot be expressed in a few words of gratitude.

Mrs. Mei said: "If the elder brother hadn't cut off the rotten flesh from Mr. Zhao's wound in time, even if there were snow lotus seeds, there would be no way to cure Mr. Zhao's poison." '

She smiled sweetly, and said again: "This is also Mr. Zhao's auspicious person and heaven, so there is such a coincidence." '

The little girl interrupted again; "It's a pity that there will be a big scar on his face in the future, and he must be ugly as hell." ’ She giggled coquettishly, and said: ‘Fortunately, he is not afraid that he will not be able to marry a wife, because at least there is an uncle who wants to marry him. '

Wuji also laughed.

This little girl is clever and intelligent, by no means inferior to those twin brothers, but she seems to be more mischievous and talkative than them.

Although her mother was staring at her and scolding her, there was no sense of blame in her eyes or tone, only joy and kindness.

Even Wuji liked it very much, and couldn't help asking: "Little sister, what's your name?"

The little girl rolled her eyes, suddenly shook her head, and said, "I can't tell you." '

Wuji said, "Why?"

The little girl said: "Because you are a man, men and women cannot kiss each other, how can a girl tell a man her name casually?"

Xuanyuan Yiguang laughed and said, "Good baby, you are such a baby." '

The little girl suddenly jumped on him, trying to pull his beard: "Why did you say my name, I want you to pay." '

It turned out that she was called Baby.

May baby.

Wuji remembered the name, as well as the mother and daughter. He would never forget their kindness in his whole life.

Baby said: "I also know that your name is Zhao Wuji." '

Wuji smiled at her: "Will you recognize me in the future?"

Baby said: "Of course I recognize it, because you must have a big scar on your face." '

Wuji suddenly had a few knots in his heart.

It's definitely not because he has a scar on his face, and it's not because he's missing a piece of flesh on his shoulder.

He didn't care about these things at all, and he didn't think about them at all.

But there was another thing that he couldn't think about.

□□□

The midnight snack prepared by Mrs. Mei for them was exquisite and delicious, what made Zhao Wuji most happy was that she didn't stay with them.

A smart woman will always avoid at the right time and let men say interesting things that only men can hear.

She might not have been a very good mother, as she was clearly doting on her children.

But she is undoubtedly an ideal wife.

But what about her husband?
Wuji didn't see her husband, nor heard them mention her husband.

Is she already a widow?
Seeing her tenderness and closeness to Xuanyuan Yiguang, and Xuanyuan Yiguang's consideration and respect for her, the relationship between them is obviously very unusual.

What is the relationship between them? Is there a relationship that cannot be told to outsiders?
Wuji really wants to know these things.

But he didn't ask, because he had something else on his mind that worried him, was even a little frightening.

That is the hidden poison weapon of the Tang family.

Some of the 'remaining scum picked up by the descendants of the Tang family' were so terrifying that three ordinary characters under the Tang family almost killed him.

It hurts him just to think about it.

Now that the Tang family and Thunderbolt have formed an alliance, among Shangguan Ren's entourage, there are people from the Tang family.

Is there any secret collusion between them? Will Shangguan Ren hide in the Tang family?
Of course he can't go to Tang's house to search for people, he has no evidence at all, and even if he has evidence, he can't go there.

With his martial arts, he might not even be able to enter the door of the Tang family.

Thinking of this, he only felt chills all over his body.

He only hoped that Xuanyuan Yiguang could find out the exact whereabouts of Shangguan Ren for him, and he would have a chance of success only if he waited for the opportunity to assassinate and fight with all his strength.

His hatred cannot be repaid by just a moment of courage.

□□□

There is wine, very good wine.

People who are injured cannot drink, people who like to gamble will not like drinking too much, and drinking alone is even more boring.

So the wine is barely moving.

Wuji poured some tea into the wine glass, and raised his glass to Xuanyuan Yiguang: "This time I will replace the wine with tea, and I will drink with you next time." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "In just two or three days, you can drink the real thing." '

Wuji said, "I can't wait that long." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "Are you in a hurry to leave? Or are you in a hurry to drive me away and find someone for you?"

Wuji laughed: "I'm anxious about both. '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said, "Where are you going in a hurry?"

Wuji said: "I want to go to Mount Jiuhua, wait for someone to find me!"

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "Who are you waiting for?"

Wuji said: "I don't know his name, nor his origin, but I know that if there is one person in this world who can break the Tang family's martial arts, that person is him." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "What did he use to break it?"

Wuji said, "Use a sword." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang sneered, and said, "Have you ever seen the Tang family's unique concealed weapon technique "Flower Rain"?"

Wuji hadn't seen it, but heard of it.

It is said that when this technique is practiced to its peak, one pair of hands can launch 64 hidden weapons at the same time, hitting 64 parts respectively, no matter how you hide, you can't hide.

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "Unless he has ten hands and ten swords, he can break through the rain of flowers all over the sky." '

Wuji said: "He only has one pair of hands and one sword, but that's enough." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had guessed who he was talking about.

Wuji said again: "His swordsmanship is so fast, I guarantee that even you have never seen it." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang deliberately sneered, and said, "Even if his sword skills are really fast, he may not pass them on to you." '

Wuji said: "Of course he doesn't have to teach it to me, because he can kill me at any time." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "If he doesn't want to kill you, he must teach you the sword technique? If he doesn't want to teach you the sword technique, must he kill you?"

Wuji said, "That's how it is." '
