Chapter 78, all men rely on picking
Red Flame Marten, less than a foot long, with fiery red body and soft hair, the little one looks very weak and harmless.
But Li Wuya knew that if he was bitten by this little guy, he would be poisoned by fire. The toxin would spread from the wound to his whole body, causing redness, swelling, heat and pain all over his body, making him unbearably hot.
If it is not detoxified in time, the whole body will be covered with hot sores, and the internal organs seem to be soaked in hot water, penetrate a little bit, until they are cooked, and finally die of pain.
Li Wuya told his family about the danger of the red flame mink. Jin Yuee and Li Erya, who originally liked furry animals, knew about it and stayed away decisively.
After that, Li Wuya stopped riding a horse, but took a carriage alone, and tamed the wild red flame mink in the carriage.
Chishi Mountain spreads for hundreds of miles. After some quick work, Li Changsen and his party finally got out of this mountain area before dark.
As soon as you get out of Chishi Mountain, there is a Red Mountain Inn not far away.
When Shi Nian and Nanny Xu went to Rongcheng, they stayed in the inn. After reporting to Li Changsen, Shi Nian went into the inn to book a few rooms.
"Master, the room has been booked. You and your wife, as well as the two young masters and two girls can enter the room to rest and wash up."
Li Changsen was still a little unaccustomed to being treated like this by others, but thinking that all the big families behaved like this, he didn't say anything, just nodded uncomfortably.
Passing through Chishi Mountain, the group all sweated a lot. After entering the room, Li Wuya tied the red flame mink under the table with a rope, and couldn't wait to take a bath.
In order to let Li Changsen's family have a better rest, Madam Xu thoughtfully asked the shop assistant to deliver the food to their room.
Li Wuya took a bath, changed into clean clothes, walked out from behind the screen, and then saw Li Erya sitting at the table in a daze.
"Sister, what are you thinking, so preoccupied?"
Li Erya recovered from her thoughts, and after Li Wuya sat down, she served her a bowl of soup: "I was thinking, no wonder so many people yearn for high positions and powers."
"After leaving Rongcheng, our food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all arranged by the time manager and Mrs. Xu. We don't have to worry about anything. It feels so good to be the shopkeeper."
Li Wuya took a sip of the soup and said with a smile: "Sister, that's where it's at. The root of power lies in not being controlled by others, and controlling others."
"Think about it, if you can control other people's lives, and others have to do everything according to your wishes, happy because of your joy, angry because of your anger, how would it feel?"
“The ultimate experience that affects the fate of others, and even the direction of history, is the root cause of most people’s pursuit of power.”
Li Erya was stunned.
Li Wuya continued: "Boss Shi and Nanny Xu are doing nothing more than exempting us from physical exertion. It's just their self-restraint as servants of the Shi family, but we want them to do other things for us. Do you think they will listen to us?"
Li Erya was silent, she understood what Li Wuya meant.
At this moment, they don't have the power to control Manager Shi and Nanny Xu.
Li Wuya finished the soup and threw a chicken leg to Chiyan Mink: "In this world, we are either controlled by others or controlled by others. Unless we find a deep mountain and old forest to hide from the world, no one can escape."
"Comparing the two, it is naturally easier to control others. Therefore, everyone climbs up consciously or unconsciously."
Li Erya frowned: "Can't you choose neither?"
Li Wuya was silent: "This is difficult. Humans have emotions and desires. Most of these are related to people and things outside, so it is difficult to get rid of control and be controlled."
"However, if you are strong enough, you will be less controlled. You can choose not to control others in a high position."
Li Erya was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said: "Tomorrow I will review my homework in the carriage." She doesn't want to control others, but she also doesn't want to be controlled by others.
Therefore, it is necessary to have enough self-protection ability, so that other people dare not manipulate and affect her life at will.
Li Wuya smiled, didn't say any more, and continued to bury her head in her meal.
After eating, the two sisters talked for a while, then went to bed and began to meditate.
Although the physical potential of their family has been developed to the extreme, internal strength still needs to be continuously accumulated. Therefore, whenever they have time, they will meditate and practice internal strength.
Meditating before going to bed is a must-do for the four brothers and sisters of the Li family.
An hour later, Li Wuya yawned. Seeing that Li Erya was still meditating with her eyes closed, she quietly crawled into the bed and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, a strange fragrance penetrated into Li Wuya's nose. In an instant, Li Wuya opened her eyes, which were flickering.
"sister!"
Li Wuya quickly woke up Li Erya.
Li Erya, who inhaled the strange fragrance, was shaken awake, her eyes were a little blurred.
Seeing this, Li Wuya's complexion changed, and she quickly jumped out of bed, took out the detoxification pill from the bag and fed it to her, at the same time, picked up the silver needle and quickly pricked several acupuncture points.
Soon, Li Erya's eyes regained clarity: "What happened?"
Li Wuya gave the detoxification pill to Li Erya: "Someone is poisoning, you go and detoxify your parents, and I will get rid of the poisoner."
After speaking, he opened the door and rushed out.
Li Erya saw her, without delay, followed quickly, and went straight to the room of Li Changsen and the others.
There is a charcoal basin in the center of the inn lobby. Sparks are shining in the charcoal basin, and thick blue smoke is continuously emitted from the basin.
"Wow!"
Li Wuya poured a basin of cold water down, extinguished the charcoal basin, and then went straight to the backyard of the inn.
In the backyard, a man wearing a black cloak and whose face could not be seen clearly stepped on the chest of the innkeeper who was vomiting blood: "Say, where is he hiding?"
The innkeeper shook his head feebly: "I don't know what you're talking about!"
The man in the cloak sneered: "I've already lighted the Lihun incense. After a quarter of an hour, everyone in the inn will die, including your family members. Whether you want to save them or not depends on what you do."
Hearing this, the innkeeper's eyes were bloodshot: "They are all innocent, you can't do this."
The man in the cloak sneered: "There is nothing in the world that I, a half-immortal, can't do." He said, increasing the strength on his feet.
"You don't have much time to think about it. If you don't detoxify within a quarter of an hour after being poisoned by the Lihun incense, you will have no power to recover."
"Tell me, where did you hide Ximen Fengxiao? Tell me, I will spare your family's life."
The innkeeper stared fiercely at the man in the cloak, was silent for a while, and closed his eyes silently.
Seeing this, the voice of the man in the cloak suddenly turned cold: "Don't be ashamed, since you want to die, I'll let you go." As he said that, his steps suddenly became stronger.
Seeing that the innkeeper's chest was about to be trampled down, a man in red clothes and shaggy hair pushed open the wooden door of the woodshed, and walked out with a pale complexion.
"Ximen Fengxiao!"
Seeing the man, the man in the cloak laughed out loud, and then clicked his tongue twice: "After being hit by my poisonous needle, you can still stand up. You really deserve to be a ninth-rank top swordsman."
Ximen Fengxiao looked at the man in the cloak coldly: "I'm out, let him go!"
The man in the cloak laughed again: "At first I planned to release it, but once you opened my mouth, I didn't want to. Seeing you in pain makes me more happy than I have researched a new poison."
As he spoke, he increased the strength on his feet again.
The innkeeper kept vomiting blood from being stepped on by him.
Ximen Fengxiao saw him, his face was angry, and he wanted to save someone, but just as he took a step, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Ghost Banxian's poisonous needle penetrated into his tendons, and the toxin spread all over his body. At this moment, he could no longer suppress the injury.
Seeing Ximen Fengxiao like this, the man in the cloak laughed happily, and was about to say something, when suddenly his body tensed up, and with a 'shua', he turned around quickly, and at the same time, the poisonous needle in his hand flew straight towards the front and back doors of the inn. and go.
Ghost Banxian and Ximen Fengxiao are both top ninth-rank powerhouses. Even in the dark night, they can still see the trajectory of the poisonous needle.
Then, both of them looked serious.
The poisonous needle fell silently three or four meters away from the back door.
Ghost Banxian suddenly became alert, staring closely at the closed back door.
Being able to knock down his poisonous needle silently, the person who shot it must have very deep internal strength.
The atmosphere in the backyard suddenly became serious.
With a creak, the back door opened, and a little girl with a face full of displeasure came out of it.
Seeing the person coming, Gui Banxian and Ximen Fengxiao's eyes widened.
"Also, I've been driving for a day, and you disturb my sleep in the middle of the night, it's very annoying, you know that?"
The dissatisfied tone and the attitude of ignoring them made them more wary.
He lit the Lihun incense in the lobby of the inn, and the fragrance would waft to every guest room, but this person showed no signs of poisoning!
Why is this happening? !
Ghost Banxian tentatively opened his mouth: "Little ghost, let your parents come out, sneak around and dare not look at people, what kind of hero is it?"
Li Wuya ignored it, looked at the man in the cloak and the man in red, then at the innkeeper who was lying on the ground with only one breath left, and finally his eyes fell on the man in the cloak.
"You are really bad, at least there are dozens of people living in the inn. We didn't mess with you, but you want our lives!"
Ghost Banxian's complexion changed: "It's just that you are here where you shouldn't be."
Li Wuya smiled: "Oh, if you want to say that, it's your bad luck that you met me today." As he spoke, he raised his right hand suddenly, and immediately saw a few poisonous needles falling on the ground quickly. Float into the air.
Immediately afterwards, with a 'swish', the poisonous needle shot out through the air, and shot straight at the ghost and half immortal.
In an instant, Gui Banxian only felt a strong crisis coming towards him, turned around and wanted to run away without even thinking about it.
However, he was surprised to find that he couldn't move!
An invisible force weighed on him.
When he tried his best to break free, the poisonous needle arrived.
"呵,呵,呵"
Several poisonous needles were all submerged in the ghost half immortal's body.
When he felt the acupuncture point where the poisonous needle was injected, a look of panic and despair appeared on Gui Banxian's face.
Achilles heel!
The little girl actually directly injected the poisonous needle into his Achilles' Achilles, completely submerged.
Too fast, too accurate!
"boom!"
A moment later, full of unwillingness, Gui Banxian fell on his back to the ground, his eyes widened, and he could not rest in peace.
The sudden change made Ximen Fengxiao, who thought he was dead, startled and shocked.
The ghost half-immortal who slaughtered Ximen's family is dead!
died!
died!
Ximen Fengxiao was stunned. In order to kill ghosts and half-immortals, he wandered on the verge of life and death several times. He was poisoned and seriously injured.
Ghost Banxian is not only a ninth-rank master, but also good at poison. Such a hard-to-kill person was unexpectedly killed by a little girl!
Ximen Fengxiao looked at the little girl walking towards him in disbelief, feeling a little nervous.
Is this really a little girl?
Not an old monster?
Li Wuya stood still three meters away from Ximen Fengxiao, looking at him curiously: "Are you a killer?"
Ximen Fengxiao withdrew his shocking thoughts and shook his head: "I am a swordsman."
Li Wuya asked again: "A murderous swordsman?"
Ximen Fengxiao: "I only kill those who should be killed?"
Li Wuya: "Who should be killed?"
Simon Fengxiao: "Threats to my safety."
Li Wuya nodded after listening, then looked Ximen Fengxiao up and down, and suddenly said: "You are going to die soon!"
Ximen Fengxiao's eyes darkened, the little girl was right, the ghost's poison needle penetrated into the tendons, and now the toxin has spread all over his body and penetrated into the viscera.
However, he has no regrets to see Ghost Banxian die before him.
Li Wuya said again: "I can save you!"
Ximen Fengxiao raised his eyes and stared at Li Wuya without saying a word.
Li Wuya smiled, with a bewitching tone: "Do you want to live?"
Ximen Fengxiao's expression remained unchanged: "Conditions?"
Li Wuya smiled, talking to a smart person is a pleasure: "Help me do things, twenty years later, if you want to leave, you can leave freely."
Ximen Fengxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not reply immediately.
Li Wuya didn't urge him: "Think about it." Then, he walked towards the innkeeper who was lying on the ground.
"The ribs are all broken, the internal organs are seriously damaged, and you are going to die soon."
The innkeeper looked at Li Wuya weakly, and didn't even have the strength to speak.
Li Wuya asked bewitchingly again: "Do you want to live?"
Training people is too time-consuming. The man in red is a ninth-rank master, and the innkeeper is someone who can open an inn in the borderlands, so he must have some real skills.
Such people are available!
"Can you save him?"
Ximen Fengxiao asked eagerly, this question made blood flow out of his mouth again.
Li Wuya smiled and said: "Of course, but I only save those who are used by me."
The innkeeper couldn't speak or move, he could only blink wildly at Ximen Fengxiao.
Ximen Fengxiao understood what he meant, did not speak, endured the severe pain all over his body, and walked towards the ghost half immortal's body.
Li Wuya saw that he wanted to search for the antidote: "I advise you not to touch that person, that person is full of poison, but if you want to die faster, then do whatever you want."
Ximen Fengxiao's expression became tense, and he looked at Li Wuya: "Xue Quan's family members have been poisoned by the ghost and half immortal incense, can you save them too?"
Li Wuya: "The conditions are different. To save the boss, he only needs to work for me for 20 years. If his family is included, it will take 30 years."
Hearing this, the innkeeper blinked fiercely again.
Ximen Fengxiao sighed in his heart, looked at the little girl in front of him, and worked for her. In the next 20 or 30 years, their people will belong to her. Thinking about it, he is really unwilling!
Li Wuya seems to understand his thoughts: "For you today, you can only choose between freedom and fate. If you want to be free, then wait here to die."
Just then, voices came from the front hall of the inn.
Li Wuya heard this, and couldn't help urging: "Hurry up, my family has woken up, and I have to go back to accompany them."
Ximen Fengxiao looked at his friend who was so angry, and nodded helplessly: "Okay, we promise you."
Li Wuya showed satisfaction: "I believe you are people who will do what you say." He squatted down, took out the silver needle, and quickly pricked a few needles on the innkeeper.
"Save your life first, I will detoxify the people in the inn first."
After a few injections, the innkeeper's breathing became easier.
Li Wuya put away the silver needle, and Li Sanlang and Li Qilang hurried over.
"Five Ah, are you okay?"
Li Wuya smiled and shook his head: "Brother, you guys came just in time, help carry the innkeeper into the room, be careful, his internal organs are seriously damaged, don't bump into them."
As he spoke, he looked at Ximen Fengxiao again.
"I'll go to detoxify first, and come to you later."
Li Wuya left quickly, took in two high-quality men, and was in such a good mood that she didn't even feel heartache for taking the antidote to save others.
