Chapter 41
Tian Tian was not poisoned at all.
Yang Zheng was cautious by nature. After entering the Taoist temple, he was reluctant to see the Taoist people appear and felt vaguely strange. Since the other party did not dare to refute Tian Shi's face, he would not neglect the guests so much.
He told Tian Tian to be careful. After Li Shu left after delivering the meal, he asked her to put the snow spirit cat's white claws into the meal, which indeed showed blackness and poison.
Yang Zheng was quick-minded and immediately decided to make a trick to cheat his death and plot against the master and apprentice. He asked Tian Tian to lie down forever, and waited for the urgent moment of the decisive battle with the Taoist, then opened his eyes and got up, and fired a fatal blow.
This move is not only aimed at Taoist Lingyun.
Yang Zheng never trusts others easily, and he dares not bet on Li Shu. Once Li Shu betrays the agreement and reports to his master, he will fall into the most dangerous situation, so he has to be careful and lay down the back of Tian Tian.
The master and apprentice saw Tian Tian fall to the ground, and Yang Zheng was safe and sound. They mistakenly thought that it was Tian Tian who had eaten first, which led to the exposure of the poison. They didn't know that even this was a fraud. Tian Tian endured it secretly and saw that Li Shu sneaked into attacking the master as promised, and knew that his next target was to sneak attack Taoist Lingyun.
Yang Zheng deliberately slashed from the side of Taoist Lingyun, just to approach the prey next to the trap and provide Tian Tian with the opportunity to attack. Taoist Lingyun decided to escape, but unexpectedly, the killer move was hidden from the beginning.
Tian Tian suddenly opened her eyes. In order not to disturb Taoist Lingyun, she did not stand up immediately, but raised her sleeves and a silver-white phantom shot out, as fast as lightning, stabbing Taoist Lingyun's legs with a sharp momentum.
This was also what Yang Zheng had arranged long ago.
Taoist Ling Yun was all focused on Yang Zheng and Li Shu in front of him. He never thought that there would be a surprise attack behind him. Xiao Ni was light and quick to hold his thighs, revealing the pair of tiger-like fangs, and biting them with a click.
"ah……"
Taoist Ling Yun was caught off guard, his thighs weakened and he fell to the ground.
Xiao Ni's mouth is not just a bite. The snow spirit cat is a rare beast. It contains pure ice-attribute true energy. Once it erodes into the enemy's body, it can quickly expand into the whole body and seal its meridian blood, which is terrifyingly powerful.
Just between breathing, Taoist Lingyun's left leg was frozen by the cold air, and the blood stopped flowing and could not move, as if it was necrotic.
This sudden change was fatal to him. He was planning to escape just now, but now he couldn't move his entire left leg and he didn't even have a chance to escape.
In shock, he hurriedly waved his palm to capture Xiao Ni. However, the cat's reaction was so sensitive that it could be caught by him. It stretched out its claws first, and the sharp claws flashed cold light, but it was not afraid of it and dared to fight the palm force head-on.
Bang!
The snow spirit cat was shaken away, quickly got up, and rushed to Yang Zheng's shoulder. Its tail was raised, and its white hair stood tall, like a hedgehog, staring at Taoist Lingyun angrily.
"Meow……"
This long roar was shrill and sharp, cutting through the cold night, making people creepy.
The blood marks were cut from Taoist Lingyun's palm. Seeing the ice-cold true energy penetrated wildly again, he was extremely frightened and angry. While using his qi to heal his wounds, he exclaimed: "This is... a spiritual cat with a perfect three realms!"
It was not until this moment that he finally realized that the terrifying opponent in the field was not Yang Zheng, but the snow spirit cat lurking in the dark.
As we all know, spiritual beasts have higher spiritual intelligence and can also absorb the true energy of heaven and earth to practice. Compared with humans, their advantages are that their physical functions are very powerful and they have certain mysterious spiritual power. It can be said that in terms of innate endowments, spiritual beasts are far better than humans.
The Snow Spirit Cat's pounce just now took its advantages to the extreme.
But spiritual beasts also have obvious disadvantages. Unlike humans, they have independent thoughts and wills, and can understand the great way of heaven and earth, create their own skills, and then teach them to others. They cannot realize the truth, and can only persevere, constantly enhance their physical body and spiritual power, and go all the way to the end.
This determines that the cultivation speed of spiritual beasts is very slow and it is difficult to improve to a higher level. Therefore, in today's world, although there are still many spiritual beasts living in deep mountains and saps, their cultivation is generally weaker than that of humans and cannot dominate the continent.
Xiao Ni is still a young beast, and it is rare to reach the quasi-fourth realm. In addition, its species are rare, so there are not many of them found on the entire continent. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that it was attracted by Tian Dan and given to his precious granddaughter.
After being attacked by it, Taoist Lingyun was cold all over at this moment, as if he was falling into an ice abyss.
He knew that he was dead.
Seeing the scene just now, Li Shu was in a state of cold air, and he was still scared, as if he was bitten. With his wise mind, it was easy to guess that Yang Zheng asked Tian Tian to pretend to be poisoned, but in fact he was guarding against him.
"If I did not cooperate with them according to my original idea, but reported to my master, then the situation would be that the person named Yang was hard to distinguish between the master and the master. The person who was attacked and killed was replaced by me!"
He asked himself, but he didn't notice that Yang Zheng had a backup plan. Even if he could detect it, how could he beat Tian Tian and Xue Lingmao's joint attack?
If he hadn't turned back in time, he would have died in Yang Zheng's plan.
As soon as he thought of this, he did not dare to stand by and walked forward with a dagger in his hand, volunteered to say, "Let me take the old thief's head!"
Taoist Ling Yun was first pierced into the abdomen, and then spent most of his energy. Finally, he was bitten by Xiao Ni, and his meridians were frozen. His condition was extremely bad and he was powerless to make up for the situation. Li Shu took action at this time, which was equivalent to taking advantage of the situation and bullying the master.
Yang Zheng smiled and walked side by side with Tian Tian to the door, blocking the retreat, and watching the master and disciple kill each other.
Li Shu wanted to show his loyalty in front of the new master, and acted ruthlessly and decisively, without any sympathy for the master, and cut off Taoist Lingyun's head as quickly as possible and threw it in front of Yang Zheng.
Yang Zheng put away his long knife, looked at Li Shu with sweat on his face, and smiled and said, "You are doing well, go get paper and pen."
Li Shu's eyes suddenly lit up. He understood that he was going to write an antidote, so he hurried to get it.
After Yang Zheng's pen was taken by the dragon and snake, he handed it to Li Shu directly and said gently: "It doesn't matter to me whether you are sincerely loyal to me. I will give you a chance to escape. If you regret it, you can escape by yourself after going to the town to detoxify."
The pill is called Half-Day Pill, which will attack in half a day. Li Shu must set off to the town as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late.
"I'll only wait for you here for three hours. Once the time comes, if you haven't come back yet, I'll assume that you have regretted it and will leave."
Li Shu didn't dare to delay, so he quickly put the prescription into his sleeve and rushed into the night outside the house.
Looking at his hurriedly leaving back, Tian Tian’s bright eyes flashed and she asked, “He poisoned him and wanted to harm us, but you spared his life. Isn’t this too kind?”
Xiao Ni jumped into her arms and croaked, expressing her agreement.
Yang Zheng sat on the bed, closed his eyes and replied, "That prescription is true, but I forgot to tell him that the antidote needs to be taken with alkaline water. Alkali is a home-cooked item and should be included in the view. It will be too late to drink it when he comes back."
If there is really no alkali, it is not necessary to replace it with wood ash.
The reason why Yang Zheng agreed to three hours was to let Li Shu have time to drink alkaline water before the poison was released. Of course, if Li Shu didn't come back and really wanted to escape, he would have no way to know this.
Tian Tian suddenly realized and smiled and said, "You are so sinister, you are actually hiding your back."
Xiao Ni meowed timidly, expressing deep agreement.
Yang Zheng did not open his eyes and sighed: "If I am not sinister, you two will think I am too kind. It's really difficult to be a human being..."
Tian Tian smiled sweetly, rubbed the cat's back, and was about to say something, when Yang Zheng's expression became serious.
"There is another reason for me to protect him. If you help me protect the Dharma, I will be touched by Taoist Lingyun, and I will soon break through the realm!"
