I did not look at the Baisong, but at another person who was speaking.
He spoke one sentence, and the disciples stopped right away. This is enough to show that his status is higher than Baisong!
Before I could say the speech of Lao Gong, after swallowing the Corpse Pill, the result was a fusion of jade and stone. He directly agreed, which means his understanding of the Corpse Pill is not less than that of Lao Gong, and he does not want to see that situation.
"There have been people who talked terms with Ba Zhai, but they all ended up dead."
"Young master, if you hand over this Corpse Pill directly, it will be beneficial to you in a hundred ways. I will keep my promise and not kill you all. I will leave immediately after turning around." The person's voice was very refined.
"Bai Mu gave the disciples of Jin Lun Senior and others the Dan, they were poisoned and very painful, I just need the antidote."
Without hesitation, I said directly.
"Antidote..."
The man slightly lowered his head, smiled and then said: "Many people want the antidote."
"Bai Mu, give them the Pill."
At that moment, a person from the crowd rushed forward, and his hand shook fiercely, throwing out several porcelain bottles.
Wu Jinlan and several scholars stepped forward to catch them immediately.
"The Spiritual Pill is both poison and antidote. After consuming my Ba Zhai's Pill, one must continue to take it. Otherwise, even if only one grain is eaten, they will still suffer from epilepsy and spiritual departure. These bottles of pills can sustain them for a while."
The man explained calmly: "If I have a way to solve the poison, can I give you the antidote?"
His words sounded casual, yet they sent a shock through me.
"Impossible!!" I shook my head immediately.
Wu Jinlan and several other scholars exchanged glances, all showing unease and confusion.
"He... he's not lying to us..." Wu Jinlan's words were particularly difficult to say.
At that moment, the air fell into an eerie silence.
Bai Mu approached me, extended his hand, and slightly tilted his head to meet my gaze directly.
I did not immediately give the Corpse Pill.
The person next to Baisong spoke again: "One Corpse Pill can only be exchanged for this many pills, when they can't hold on anymore, they can contact Bai Mu. As for what happens after that, you should not interfere any more."
"This is the biggest concession."
After the person finished speaking, Bai Mu took out a piece of paper from his chest and a pen, quickly wrote down a string of numbers and threw it to Wu Jinlan.
The rest of the disciples were showing signs of scattering.
"Give it to them, and this matter will be settled," Lao Gong spoke up, continuously winking at me.
I gave the Corpse Pill to Bai Mu.
Bai Mu walked respectfully towards the person next to Baisong, kneeling down and offering up the Corpse Pill with both hands.
Too late to say, too quick to happen.
A cold huffing sound echoed.
Only Baisong turned into a faint shadow.
In that instant when he appeared in front of my door, the tip of his finger touched my throat!
I clearly felt the touch of his nail, the intense pain in my skin!
Sweat beads were rolling down from my forehead!
"You, are just an insect. An insect has hurt me, it should be stepped on to death. However, considering that you're still somewhat conscious, if you hand over the Corpse Pill, the crime of death will be forgiven."
Wu Jinlan and the others dare not take a deep breath, but only glare angrily at Baisong.
They dared to be angry, but dared not speak.
Baisong's hand hung down, and his fingers flicked!
My chest felt like a heavy blow, my mouth bleeding, I couldn't stand anymore and wobbled before falling to my knees on the ground...
The other two turned around and left.
Bai Mu and all the disciples of the Ba Zhai faction turned and left.
Baisong then waved his single hand and walked last.
Only when the footsteps disappeared completely and the group of people's figures disappeared did Lao Gong become enraged, cursing even more harshly: "Heavens! Damn his ancestor and descendant for generations!"
Wu Jinlan and others rushed to support me.
My chest felt tight, blood oozed from the corners of my mouth again, thick and blood-sweet.
I leaned forward and vomited a mouthful of blood. It felt like my heart had been pierced through...
Wu Jinlan and others were extremely worried and their minds were in turmoil.
"I... I'm fine..." I forced out a sentence and then sat cross-legged, trying to regulate my breathing.
Baisong was just venting his anger.
After all, he lost an arm, and I had no impact on it. In fact, I even achieved my own goals.
When he struck at me, I actually felt relieved.
This isn't enough to make him hold a grudge, to send people in secret to deal with the Mo family, to deal with the Ghost Pagoda, and all those people related to me.
I can sense that Wu Jinlan and the others haven't left my side, they've been watching over me.
Lao Gong was constantly muttering to my ear, full of venomous words, about how he would deal with Baisong.
At first, I could still hear him, but once I completely meditated, I couldn't feel anything anymore.
When I regained consciousness, the sky was already bright and sunny. The sunlight was bright and beautiful.
Wu Jinlan was still standing next to me, with bloodshot eyes. The other scholars were either dozing off by the chairs in the hall or sitting on the ground, leaning against the door frame. No one went into the room to rest.
Baisong didn't kill me outright. Besides feeling weak, I dared not exert too much energy, and my body didn't have any other abnormalities.
"Let's go up and take a look." My voice was extremely hoarse.
The original intention was to wait for Mo San at this time.
But I couldn't wait anymore.
My inner thoughts were always complicated and depressed.
Standing up, I had a slight stumble, and Wu Jinlan helped me, whispering: "Let's eat something first. Master Luo, you've expended too much mental energy, and it's also very dangerous."
The scholars woke up one after another and quickly followed us.
I wiped away the blood on my mouth corner and nodded silently.
I didn't eat the cold dry food. Some scholars ran to town to buy hot food. Someone else fetched water for me. Another person brought a set of Taoist robes from somewhere unknown.
There are too many bloodstains on my chest, it's no longer convenient to travel normally.
I cleaned the bloodstain from my chin and neck, and went to a room to change into this set of Taoist robes.
It fit unexpectedly well, it was like... custom-made.
Coincidentally, there was a mirror in the room, allowing me to see myself reflected in it.
The sickly and weak appearance, the longer I looked at it, the more my face seemed unfamiliar, not like myself...
That's how people are, staring at yourself in the mirror for too long can make you feel confused.
I shook my head, moved my gaze away, and finally walked out of the room.
Wu Jinlan and others actually made a stretcher-like thing using the broken trees and a chair.
Their meaning was clear: I had been injured and shouldn't climb the mountain again. They were unharmed and intended to carry me up to the mountain gate.
I shook my head and said this was too absurd. I'm not that precious or weak.
Wu Jinlan's stance was that he would not agree unless I did. He stared at me with unblinking eyes.
There was no choice but to sit on the chair. They indeed lifted me up deftly, not using all their strength, and Wu Jinlan even told me that if I got tired, they could switch off the load, making it easy and less tiring.
He told me not to think too much, I deserve reverence and respect from the Dengxia Mountain.
I didn't say anything.
Wu Jinlan is indeed a remarkable person.
After leaving the Qi family mansion, my intention was to directly go up the mountain, but I didn't expect to see a person squatting by the spring, holding a bamboo sieve and scooping something from the water.
As we left, he stood up and turned around.
In the sunlight, his body seemed to be edged with gold. It was Mo San, wasn't it?
And in his bamboo sieve, there was a golden koi fish, leaping vigorously!
"Hahaha, such a big golden koi fish in this spring, it's really a good place here," Mo San praised.
