Chapter 355: Poison Mist Conspiracy
Xie Ling’s eyes suddenly widened.
Why does he know his name?
Before Xie Ling could come to her senses, dense swarms of poisonous insects swarmed over like a tide!
This poisonous insect can actually fly!
"A Ling, stand behind me."
After Gu Wei finished speaking, he pulled Xie Ling behind him.
Then he stood in front of her, his two swords dancing like the wind, like a natural barrier, keeping the poisonous insect out of the sword's reach.
"Jingxuan, run, take Xie Ling with you and run!"
The white-robed venerable spoke again, and this time his movements were more urgent. One could sense his anxiety even through the mask, and he wished he could rush over and pull them away.
He spoke so loudly that the Nanzhao people naturally noticed it.
But they were so anxious to play the flute that they had no time to worry. They just stared at him again and again with knife-like eyes, half doubtful and half murderous.
After hearing the name "Jingxuan", the two finally reacted!
This person is Jiang Yunzi!
But how come he is here?
Xie Ling asked loudly: "Master, why are you here?"
Jiang Yunzi didn't reply. He took out a dagger from somewhere and stabbed the helmsman fiercely.
The helmsman groaned, and the rapid flute sounds stopped for a moment.
The group of Gu also stopped for a moment.
The helmsman opened his eyes wide, ignored the pain and continued blowing.
Xie Ling frowned, looking at the restless group of Gu, feeling that something was wrong.
He quickly tugged at Gu Wei's sleeve and said, "Take the master with you, we'll leave first."
Gu Wei nodded, quickly put away his sword, held Xie Ling in one hand, flew over, lifted Jiang Yunzi by the collar, tapped his toes, and left the altar.
Behind them, poisonous insects flew in like a flood, almost covering half of the sky.
Jiang Yunzi frowned, "Too late! Hold your breath, hold your breath quickly! This insect will explode and turn into a miasma!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of poisonous insects closest to them exploded, and thick smoke instantly filled the entire sky.
Xie Ling took out three gas masks from the space and quickly put them on Jiang Yunzi and Gu Wei's heads, but she was a step too slow. Just before putting on the gas mask, she accidentally inhaled a mouthful of poisonous mist.
Xie Ling suddenly felt dizzy and felt dizzy. She coughed violently a few times and her body went limp.
Jiang Yunzi was shocked. "You stupid kid, I won't be poisoned. Hey, little Jingxuan, run to the city quickly. They won't harm the people of Nanzhao! I want to treat Xie Ling immediately."
Gu Wei noticed Xie Ling's change and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
He quickened his Qinggong skills, placed Xie Ling and Jiang Yunzi at a distance, and turned around quickly.
Jiang Yunzi stood on the eaves and was very anxious. "Xiao Jingxuan, where are you going?"
Gu Wei drew out his sword, his handsome face was clouded with gloom, and his voice was cold, "A Ling is injured, I want them to pay the price. Uncle Jiang, please take care of A Ling, I will be back soon."
After he finished speaking, Gu Wei's tall figure moved instantly and turned into a small black dot, blending in with the group of Gu, making it impossible to distinguish them.
Soon, he passed through the group of Gu and returned to the altar.
The Nanzhao people were all frightened out of their wits.
Why can he come back!
On the other side, Jiang Yunzi frowned and took Xie Ling's pulse.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, not much was inhaled and it can be cured."
After a stick of incense.
Gu Wei’s figure came closer and closer.
The tip of the sword was stained with blood, and his handsome face was full of murderous intent. As soon as he landed on the eaves, he fell heavily, and his exposed arms were covered with red spots.
"Uncle Jiang..."
Jiang Yunzi held his forehead with his hand.
What a troublesome couple they are.
Then he quickly took out the medicine bag at his waist and fiddled with it for a long time.
Half an hour later, the two of them slowly woke up.
Jiang Yunzi crossed his arms and said, "Tell me, why are you here?"
Xie Ling rubbed his brows, his head aching badly. "Master? What's going on?"
As soon as Gu Wei opened his eyes, he went to check on Xie Ling's condition, "Are you feeling better?"
Xie Ling shook her head slowly.
Gu Wei breathed a sigh of relief and briefly explained the reason for his future visit to Nanzhao.
Jiang Yunzi's eyes widened suddenly. "Say it again, you are the county magistrate of Sinan?"
Gu Wei's eyes were heavy, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yunzi looked as if his world had collapsed. "It's all over. This damn thing is specially used to deal with you Sinan."
Xie Ling coughed and said, "Master, please tell me slowly what is going on."
Jiang Yunzi sighed and spoke slowly.
"Last time we met, if you hadn't told me that there was an enemy in Nanzhao, would you still use Gu? I don't know much about Gu poison, and I'm afraid you'll suffer from it, so I thought of traveling to Nanzhao to explore the way for you and see what this Gu poison is."
Jiang Yunzi touched his nose.
"Through this investigation, I was able to infiltrate their ranks and somehow became a venerable. Let me first tell you what Gu poison is.
The thing called Gu poison comes from the Wu clan thousands of years ago. At that time, the Wu clan was the priests of the Zhou Dynasty, responsible for offering sacrifices to the gods and praying for wind and rain.
However, one of the priests used the witch clan's books to study evil ways and created the thing called Gu poison, which brought disaster to the world, so the Zhou Dynasty banned it.
The man is dead, but the books he wrote are still there, they are just hidden from the world and unknown to people.
The ancestors of the Nanzhao Kingdom were the Wu clan of the Zhou Dynasty. Hundreds of years ago, someone found the book and established a Gu sect to study Gu poison. Later, it became more and more powerful, and now there is a branch in each state.
Now this manor is the branch of Canglan Prefecture.
The leader of the Gu sect is the high priest of Nanzhao. He recently developed a new kind of Gu insect, which can emit poisonous mist like miasma after exploding.
They plan to use this thing to attack Sinan."
"why?"
Xie Ling was puzzled.
Jiang Yunzi sighed, "Nanzhao has actually been eyeing Beijiang's territory for a long time. Now Beijiang is divided into pieces, and Sinan is the closest to Nanzhao, so it is their first move. And."
Jiang Yunzi's eyes were stern. "There is miasma in the forests of Lingnan. The poisonous fog emitted by this poison is exactly the same as the miasma. If something happens to Sinan, they can also blame it on the miasma outbreak to prevent people from suspecting anything. It's really too insidious.
Not long ago, they kept capturing people from Sinan just to feed the poisonous insects. The bones next to the altar were from people from Sinan who had been sucked clean... I am limited in my ability and cannot save them. I am sorry."
Gu Wei's eyes grew colder as he listened, "Uncle Jiang, you don't have to say sorry. Is there any solution to this poisonous fog?"
Jiang Yunzi shook his head slowly, "I have been researching, but for now I can only solve the mild detoxification problem. As for the real detoxification method, I haven't figured it out yet..."
Gu Wei was puzzled: "Then why aren't those Nanzhao people and you poisoned by the fog?"
Jiang Yunzi: "Because I ate this poisonous insect for a month, and took a medicinal bath made of the insect every day. I felt nauseous during that period. But it can only prevent this kind of poison, not other poisons."
Gu Wei's eyes darkened.
One month is probably too late, and there are not so many poisonous insects for the Sinan people to eat...
The more Xie Ling listened, the more disgusted she felt.
Isn't this the same as biological weapons?
She did have a gas mask, but there were only a few thousand of them in the space. Sinan now had two or three hundred thousand people. What if Nanzhao suddenly attacked?
Xie Ling suddenly remembered the trees in Dazhou Mountain that were marked with marks...
She looked up sharply.
"Master, is there any formation restriction on this poisonous fog? Does it mean we need to control the distance?"
Jiang Yunzi nodded. "How do you know? This thing needs the east wind to help it gain power, so the placement is very particular."
Xie Ling's heart sank.
"They marked the woods on Dazhou Mountain. It must have been planned."
