Chapter 121: The Poison Master and the Vagabond
"Oh, by the way, are you a poison master or a doctor?"
"What do you mean?" Chen Chen frowned, looking very confused by his words.
"Oh, no offense. It's just that many people have flocked to the city recently. They call themselves poison masters, and they intend to distance themselves from us doctors. I thought you were one of them." The man shrugged and continued.
He turned around and grabbed medicine for Chen Chen.
What, poison master? In Chen Chen’s concept, poison doctors are not separated into different families. Aren’t poison masters just doctors? Why should we deliberately draw a clear line? “May I ask your Excellency, where are these people now?”
"I can't say where they are now, but I heard that someone recently invited everyone to a banquet at the Water Pavilion. Well, it's today. If you go there early, you should be able to meet them."
Such a coincidence? It seems necessary to go and take a look. Many people who know how to use poisons have gathered together, so they can ask their master about the solution to the poison. And even if they fail to ask, they should still gain something.
Thinking like this, Chen Chen casually took out a money bag from his arms, picked up the medicine he had just grabbed and ran out. "Thank you for telling me these things, I'll take the first step!"
"Hey, you gave me too much money!!!"
"It's okay, there's no need to look for the rest." Chen Chen's voice came from afar.
After asking around all the way to the "Water Pavilion Cloud Terrace", Chen Chen stood at the door and looked inside: there was a pond that almost filled the entire yard. The water in the pond was clear, and dense lotus flowers were blooming on it; there was a watchtower in the pond.
The wooden bridge that is not many years old leads to the middle pavilion in twists and turns. The pavilion is located in the middle of the pond and many lotus flowers. It is also painted with green and red paintings, which looks very noble and beautiful.
At this time, there were many people sitting on the ground in the pavilion. Most of them were middle-aged men with slender beards and all their hair tied up. They either looked up and sang, or pushed the lamps around, or smiled brightly. They all looked good.
He looks happy. (That means, wouldn't you be happy to have a free meal?) It seems that Chen Chen has come here right. This is the place where his heart has been along the way.
"Hahaha, I'm late, I'm late..." Chen Chen smiled as he strode into the yard. As a result, he only attracted a few moments of attention, and the rest of them went on with their own things.
It doesn't matter, as long as I'm not embarrassed. Chen Chen shrugged his shoulders, took off his shoes and sat in the middle of the crowd, and began to secretly eavesdrop on their speech.
"You know, my son works in the princess's palace. He is so majestic and has dozens of people under him who have to listen to him!" No, isn't this a Poison Master Exchange Conference? Why did you start talking about this?
"Tch, that's nothing. When I was young, I stole the handkerchief of the daughter of the city lord of Junyang City. At that time, dozens of people from the Kongjing Realm chased me and made me play around." This must be bragging, what about Fan Zuolin?
You have a daughter. And you went to great lengths to sneak into Junyang Mansion just to steal a handkerchief? I really don’t know whether you should pursue her or not.
No, no, I didn't come here to listen to their bragging. Chen Chen shook his head, gathered his energy and started to listen to the discussion of other people.
"Brother Zhao, you are drunk! Hahaha..."
"No, no, in the past I drank it all from the altar, but it's just a small amount, it's not worth mentioning! Hiccup..."
"Is it because I'm drunk? Why can't I understand what you are saying..."
Chen Chen rolled his eyes helplessly, thinking this party is full of drunkards, right? It was promised a gathering of poison masters, but it only attracted a group of people who ate and drank for free.
No, I've been here, I can't just leave like this. Chen Chen took out the piece of paper from his arms, grabbed a person and asked, "Hello, excuse me, can you help me look at this piece of paper?"
Is there any solution to the poison?"
The person who was stopped squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, "Broken Bone Rou? Thousand Broken Hearts? Why is the name of this poison so strange... Ahem, as long as you work hard to crack it, any poison will be effective.
solution."
"Well, how should we cure this poison?" Chen Chen looked into his eyes and asked seriously.
"Yes, everything in the world is interdependent. Since this kind of poison exists, there must be a solution. It's just that you haven't found it. As long as you search hard, you will be able to find it one day."
"So you don't know how to understand it?" Chen Chen tilted his head and asked with a deliberately provocative look.
"Who says I can't figure it out? I just... I just ate a little too much, and I can't turn my head around... Yes, I ate too much..." Before Chen Chen could say anything else, he left on his own
.
Okay, he really found someone to come over to eat and drink. However, he was right about one thing. Only by persisting can he find the answer he wanted.
"Hello, could you look at this piece of paper?"
"Huh? What did you say to me? What do you want to do? Oh, come to me and ask. However, you have to drink with me. After drinking, the question will be solved."
"Uh...but I'm not an adult yet, so I can't drink."
"These are all trivial matters. If you don't drink, how can you become a man?"
"Forget it, senior, let's say goodbye..."
"Hello, could you please take a look at this piece of paper?"
"Who are you? Go, go, don't disturb me drinking!"
As a result, no one answered Chen Chen's question seriously. They were either indulging in eating and drinking, or they wanted to drag Chen Chen into their drinking game. Chen Chen naturally tried his best to refuse. But after constant dealing with it,
He also felt the deep fatigue coming from his heart, even more tired than before after traveling all day.
"The last one, I'll ask the last one again. If I can't find out, I'll leave." Chen Chen comforted himself in this way.
For the last one, he specially found a man who looked very reliable. The man was holding a wine glass and staring into the distance intently, with a worried look on his face. He was not at all like the others who were laughing and toasting each other.
"Hello, I'd like to spare you some time. Could you please read the poison written on this piece of paper? Can you detox it?"
The man took the piece of paper, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, then slowly said: "These poisons are all very vicious and sinister types. Why do you want to ask for these types of information?"
After finally meeting someone who could talk normally, Chen Chen's heart ignited the flame of hope again: "A friend of mine has been poisoned by these kinds of poisons, and I want to save him."
"That's it... Bone-shattering meat itself is not very toxic. The important thing is its subsequent impact on the body. It can be prepared with fire gourd seeds, Chenwei Artemisia, and cracked tortoise shell... As for Thousand Broken Hearts..."
He actually got all the properties of the medicine right. I didn't expect that there would be real people at this banquet. It seems that his problem has been solved.
"What if he gets all these poisons?"
