It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

Outside the window, there was darkness.

When Zhou An cast his gaze, he saw a strange figure on the dark street.

The figure was not tall, only the height of an ordinary person, but when he looked carefully, he found that this humanoid creature had an extremely terrifying appearance.

The skin all over his body is pitch black, and his facial features are very ordinary, but his eyes have no whites and are completely black.

Even the skin on his face was pitch black.

This kind of black is as black as the night.

And around this humanoid creature's body, a vomiting stench is exuding.

With the medical +2 attribute and the encounter in the mine during the day, Zhou An knew the identity of the person in front of him instantly.

Poison medicine man.

Zhou An pulled out the long knife from the pink money bag, climbed out of the window, and came to the street.

There was no moon in the night, but fortunately Zhou An was a man in the industry and could see clearly.

Why did the poison poison man come to me at this time? It seems that he killed one of them in the mine and they learned to take revenge.

Zhou An flicked the cold iron sword and thought in his mind.

While he was thinking, the poisonous medicine man who had been standing finally made some movement.

The poisonous man opened his mouth, revealing his rotten teeth and a mouth full of blood.

A buzzing sound came from the mouth of the poisonous poisoner, and the next moment, countless poisonous insects came out of the mouth of the poisoner.

After getting out, the Gu insect quickly rushed towards Zhou An.

Zhou An raised his eyebrows, turned the cold iron knife in his hand, and struck out with one blow.

Thousands of black and blue lights flashed in the dark night.

The Gu worms in front of them blocked the sky and the sun, but after the black green sword light swept over them, they all fell to the ground like a puddle of mud and turned into corpses.

After Zhou An swung the sword, he did not stop. Instead, he performed the Wandering Dragon Step, and in an instant, he was in front of the Gu Poison Medicine Man.

The cold iron sword is one sword from top to bottom.

The dark green sword light reappeared, and thousands of sword lights enveloped the Gu Poison Man. In the blink of an eye, the Gu Poison Man had turned into a puddle of mud.

That's it?

Zhou An looked indifferent and looked at the meat on the ground.

At this moment, the poisonous medicine man who turned into mud suddenly appeared abnormal.

A flash of black energy flew towards Zhou An at a rapid speed.

Zhou An frowned slightly and just waved his hand.

The black energy in front of him wrapped around his left arm and penetrated into his body.

But the next moment, the poison of the medical Gu pulse took effect, and the Qi in the body was like a raging river.

The poison that invaded the body was swallowed up and turned into his own use.

Zhou An shook his left hand. When the black energy was about to approach, through the medical theory of the Gu Vein, he found that the poison had no effect on him, so he simply tried this skill.

Unexpectedly, the Qi inside his body surged like a ferocious beast, while the poison that entered his body was like a little lamb, with no ability to fight back.

From the moment Zhou An climbed out of the window, to the battle, to the end of the battle, there was no unnecessary nonsense on either side.

In just an instant, it was over.

Zhou An looked at the pile of rotten meat on the ground and frowned slightly.

Such a big poisonous medicine man can easily enter Tingyun Mansion, and can also come to me to seek revenge. What does the Zhenguisi do for a living?

Although he had cooperated with Yan Sifu and fought in Yuejiang, Zhou An thought this from the bottom of his heart in this situation.

Things have reached this point, and there are only two possibilities for the poisonous medicine man to easily enter and exit Tingyun Mansion.

Either it's because the police are too busy, nothing can be found, and nothing can be blocked.

Either that or the person behind the poisonous medicine man had entered Tingyun Mansion before that.

Zhou An prefers the second possibility.

Of course, no matter what the possibility is, the other party seems to have set his sights on him at this time.

In fact, there is nothing we can do about it.

Something happened in the mine, and he was the top craftsman supervisor and had to solve it.

To solve the problem, you must first look for clues, and to look for clues, you have to start inside the mine.

And just in the mine, I encountered the poisonous medicine man.

Now that we have already encountered each other, if you don't kill the other party with a backhand, will you still leave the trouble outside?

After killing it, there will naturally be subsequent troubles.

Of course, what Zhou An is least afraid of is trouble, and he can be chopped off with one knife.

Looking at the pile of minced meat in front of him, he did not continue to move forward, but closed the window and door with his backhand and walked towards Zhen Guisi.

…

It was late at night, and all the houses were closed, but the lights in this town were brightly lit.

When Zhou An arrived, the members of Zhenguisi naturally knew each other.

Now among the officials in Tingyun Mansion, it would be nonsense to say that no one knows Zhou An.

After all, many people from the Suppression Division also participated in the battle at Yuejiang.

I've met Mr. Zhou!

When the members of the Zhenguisi standing at the door saw Zhou An, they immediately came forward and asked what happened.

Zhou An only said that he wanted to meet Yan Sifu.

But after these words were spoken, the members of Zhenguisi looked embarrassed.

Master Zhou, Master Yan is not here to suppress Guisi.

Zhou An frowned.

It's so late at night and you're not in town. Could it be that you've already found clues?

He was about to ask a few questions when he saw the embarrassment on the faces of the members of the Suppression Division, and he instantly understood.

Now the Suppressing Chief is conducting a thorough investigation into the remnants of the Gu God Sect, and according to Yan Sifu, there is a net laid by the emperor, so it is a secret.

Even during the exchange this morning, Yan Sifu didn't say it out loud, so the members of Zhensi Si didn't dare to say anything nonsense.

Since it is a secret and cannot be told, Zhou An naturally cannot force others to tell it.

He touched his chin, thought for a moment, and then told the members of the Suppression Squadron about his experience.

After hearing this, the members of the Suppression Division were slightly startled, and then the corners of their mouths twitched.

There are still blind people who dare to trouble Mr. Zhou. This remnant of the Gu God Sect is really looking for death!

His words came from the bottom of his heart, and Zhou An solved all the weird things caused by such a large river.

Do you have Yuejiang Qiang?

If not, just roll as far as you can.

Now he is going to provoke Zhou An. If Zhou An catches him, he will die very painfully.

Zhou An didn't know what this member was thinking, but he expressed his guess.

Either you didn't find it, or the person behind it has already come to the house?

The members of the Suppression Division nodded, knowing that Zhou An was right.

After learning about the two situations, members of the Zhensi said that they would thoroughly investigate the matter after Yan Sifu came back and would never let this happen again.

Zhou An nodded.

Since Yan Sifu didn't come back, he didn't stay long and turned around and left.

…

The next day.

Zhou An just had breakfast and met members of the Zhenguisi.

In this small noodle stall, the Zhengui members were still a little restrained.

Master Zhou, after I came over yesterday to talk about the situation, Master Yan immediately sent us to investigate. The person behind the scenes has been caught. Master Yan asked me to come over and asked Master Zhou to come over and take a look at the arrested person.

He was indeed quite restrained, and he was stuttering when he spoke, especially when his hands were constantly interlaced, which made him appear even more restrained.

Zhou An felt that he was not a devil, so why did these people seem to be afraid when they saw him.

Of course, he didn't say anything, just nodded: Your efficiency in suppressing spies is still acceptable.

He originally thought that it would take several days to talk about it in the evening, but he didn't expect that in just one night, the person behind it had been caught.

Zhou An guessed that it was the second possibility he thought of.

The other party had already arrived at Tingyun Mansion, so he was caught so quickly.

There was still some soup in the noodles. Zhou An drank a few mouthfuls, and after paying the bill with the boss, he walked towards Zhenguisi under the leadership of the Zhenguisi members.

When he arrived at the second floor of Zhenguisi, he happened to see Yansi Mansion preparing to come down.

Yan Sifu said: Brother Zhou is here, don't go up there, come on, follow me to the dungeon to have a look, our new arrest is quite interesting.

Zhou An nodded and walked down the stairs again.

Yan Sifu led the way, and the two went to Zhenguisi's dungeon together.

He had come down once before when he was in Yunlai Mansion, and he had experienced all kinds of horrors in Zhenguisi's dungeon.

Here, even if your mouth is made of iron, it can be pried open.

The prisoners walked in and were in pieces when they left.

Especially the jailer in the dungeon is a pervert who is good at various criminal laws.

When Yan Sifu led Zhou An down to the dungeon, Zhou An naturally looked at a young man squatting in the corner of the dungeon, trembling all over.

The other cells were all empty, except for this one, which should be the person arrested by Yan Sifu.

Yan Sifu led Zhou An to the door of the cell and knocked on the iron bars of the cell: Hey! Take a look and see if this is the person you went to trouble with yesterday!

The young man squatting in the corner raised his head, glanced at Zhou An, trembled, and nodded repeatedly.

At this time, Zhou An finally saw what this man looked like.

His face was covered with staggered scars, including stab wounds, burns, and even a piece of flesh missing in some places.

Even if you walk on the street with this look, it will make children cry.

Zhou An touched his chin and asked, Master Yan, are there any clues?

Yan Si's Mansion nodded: I spent the whole night interrogating last night. Thanks to Brother Zhou for reminding me that during this period of time, many remnants of the Gu God Sect have been hidden in our mansion. Fortunately, I asked yesterday. After that, arrests have started today.”

It's a good thing to start arresting.

Zhou An said: In this case, this matter will be over soon.

He originally thought that he could talk to the craftsman's supervisor and let the mine resume work as soon as possible, and he could also take advantage of it.

Unexpectedly, Yan Sifu shook his head: All I caught were small fish and shrimps.

Then Master Yan called me over, what's the matter?

All that was caught were small fish and shrimps, but there were more important things that were not caught. Just now Yan Sifu said something interesting, and he had to tell himself, but now it seems that there are other things.

Sure enough, when Zhou An asked this question, Yan Sifu pointed at the prisoner in the cell and said, Don't you have something to say to Mr. Zhou? I called Mr. Zhou over, and now you can say it.

The young man in the cell looked at Zhou An with fearful eyes and suddenly made a move.

He knelt down directly, clasped his hands together, and worshiped Zhou An.

After this action appeared, Zhou An was stunned.

Not only was he stunned, but Master Yan was also stunned.

When this person was caught last night, Yan Si's Mansion conducted a severe investigation. This person said what he should say and said a lot about their accomplices.

But when he asked about the attack on Zhou An, the prisoner bluntly said that he wanted to see Zhou An.

Yan Sifu thought that Zhou An was also attacked in this matter, so he asked the members of the Zhenguisi to invite Zhou An.

I thought there would be other news, but now the prisoner kowtowed to Zhou An inexplicably, and there was fear in his eyes.

There are some problems here.

Of course, Yan Sifu didn't think there was something wrong with Zhou An, but that there was something wrong with the prisoner.

What are you doing! Yan Sifu's tone became cold.

The prisoner was still prostrating, hitting his forehead on the floor of the cell, making a thumping sound.

Even if his head is broken and bleeding, nothing has changed.

This scene is too weird.

Zhou An frowned and spoke slowly.

Just tell me if you have anything to do, and don't do these things to me.

As he spoke, the prisoner who was prostrating raised his head, with a hint of madness on his burned face, and spoke in a hoarse tone.

The Holy Son of Gu, you are the Holy Son of Gu!

The corners of Zhou An's mouth twitched slightly.

What the hell are you doing?

He has never heard of the Gu Divine Son.

After the prisoner finished saying this, he kowtowed again.

Zhou An's frown deepened and deepened: You can do whatever you want, but you must speak clearly.

After the words fell, the prisoner who was kowtowing raised his head again and read out something that Zhou An said that sounded very mysterious.

Poison Eater! Son of Gu God! You can swallow poison. You are the inheritance of Gu God in the human world!

Having said this, the prisoner opened his arms and made a gesture of embracing the future. He raised his head and looked at Zhou An with a fervent expression.

Zhou An instantly understood what was going on with this guy.

Last night, this guy sent a poison poison man to attack him, but after he was killed by him, the poison was also swallowed up by the medical poison veins.

He can indeed swallow poison, but what kind of bullshit is the Gu Divine Son that can swallow poison?

Isn’t this thing a bit outrageous?

Zhou An thought about it and said after a moment: Since I am the so-called Holy Son of Gu, then tell me where your truly powerful people are.

After the words fell, the prisoner who was making a gesture of embracing the future suddenly stopped his fanatical gaze.

They will come to find you. You are the Holy Son of Gu, more powerful than the Medicine Girl. They will find you and sacrifice you to every member of the Gu God Cult!

Zhou An's head was full of black lines: Are you all having such a good time?

Originally, he thought that the so-called Son of Gu God should also be a big shot in the Gu God Sect.

Haven't you read what was written in the previous novel?

The Holy Son is a bad guy, and the entire sect must protect him.

But listening to this meaning, it seems that I am not the so-called saint son in the novel, but more like Tang Monk Rou.

The other party wanted to catch him, and then draw his blood and peel off his skin.

This is a bit embarrassing. Zhou An touched his chin. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Yan Sifu next to him and said, This person is useless. He has asked all the things that should be asked, and there are no real core clues. , at most, we will get rid of some insignificant ones.

The prisoner in front of him is indeed useless.

Yan Sifu nodded and waved to the jailer inside.

Brother Zhou, let's go up and talk to me. I have something to tell you. Yan Sifu's expression was a bit solemn.

Ever since this man said that Zhou An was some kind of Gu Holy Son, Yan Sifu's expression had become like this, with a bit of uncertainty but also a bit of determination.

Zhou An didn't say anything, but glanced at the fanatical prisoner again. The two of them left the dungeon and came to the second floor of Zhenguisi.

After Yan Sifu entered the room, he poured Zhou An a cup of tea.

Brother Zhou, don't worry. That guy has said everything he needs to say. He won't survive. After we finish talking, his life will end.

Zhou An took the tea cup and took a sip: Master Yan must have something to tell me.

There was something wrong with Yan Sifu's expression when he was in the dungeon. Now that he was here, Zhou An felt that he should speak out.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Yan Sifu fell into deep thought, as if making a decision.

Zhou An didn't care. After finishing the cup of tea in his hand, he added another cup himself. He looked at the water vapor coming out of the teacup and gently turned the teacup.

After about half a stick of incense, Yan Sifu finally made a decision: Brother Zhou, since you have participated and become an important role, you are qualified to know about this matter.

Zhou An understood.

This matter was arranged by the emperor. I had learned about it before, but I didn’t understand it deeply enough.

Looking at this situation, Yan Sifu is planning to speak out.

Zhou An is not a person who likes to hear secrets, but in the scene in the dungeon just now, the other party seemed to regard him as Tang Monk Meat. If the people of the Gu God Sect knew about it, there would be a lot of trouble.

His ultimate goal is to eliminate the remnants of the Gu God Cult.

The death of the remnant of the Gu God Cult has two benefits for him.

The first and most critical thing is the ability to reduce the threats around you and put yourself at ease.

The second reason is because he is the top craftsman supervisor.

The current problem in the mine is only a temporary solution for now. If we just let workers go to the mine to mine, new problems will arise later, and it will not end well.

Since you have taken this job, you must do it well. Zhou An has always been such a person.

What's more, after he solves this problem, the craftsmanship supervisor can continue to operate without his own participation, which can also save time for his liver proficiency.

No matter which one it is, Zhou An feels that it can be done easily.

Yan Sifu had already seen Zhou An's decision from Zhou An's expression.

He stood up and walked outside: Brother Zhou, come with me.

Zhou An nodded, said nothing, and just followed Yan Sifu silently.

The two of them left Zhenguisi and walked in one direction along this dark and lightless street.

The further he walked inside, the more Zhou An felt something was wrong, because he seemed to be walking in the direction of Jiaofangsi.

Of course he wouldn't think that Yan Sifu was the one who got the better of him. After all, the matter now was very important and there was no need for Yan Sifu to do this.

Then the answer to everything lies in Jiaofangsi.

Zhou An has already guessed someone.

That girl from Miao territory.

If there is one person who can make Yan Sifu go to Jiaofangsi at this time and is related to the recent Gu God Sect, then only Miao smiled.

Along the way, both of them were silent. After arriving at Jiaofangsi, the madam still walked over with charm.

But this time it was about business. Yan Sifu directly asked him to open a room for him and called Miao Xiao over if he had anything to ask.

The madam was stunned for a moment, and then showed a troubled look: Two adults, Miss Miao Xiao is not selling her body, this is the will of the superiors, you must not do anything stupid.

Of course, the Madam didn't know that Miao Xiao had terrible poison in her body, but the superiors had taken care of it and alerted Yan Sifu.

If something happens to Yan Si Mansion, he will be the same guilty.

Of course Yan Sifu understood, and waved his hand: I'm here to investigate the case, just call me over.

With these words, the madam felt a little relieved, so he said to a little girl: Take the two adults to the room on the second floor, and call Miao Xiao over. The two adults have something to ask.

The girl didn't dare to neglect. After taking Zhou An and Yan Sifu to a quiet room on the second floor, she turned around to find Miao Xiao.

The two of them were in the room, waiting for about half a stick of incense, when Zhou An heard light footsteps coming from outside the door.

Not long after the footsteps came, there was a knock on the door.

Please come in. Yan Sifu said.

The door was pushed open, and Miao Xiao, who was wrapped in thick clothes, slowly walked in and closed the door with his backhand.

He was still wearing the same clothes as before, thick, heavy and bulky, and his face was covered with an opaque white cloth.

If it weren't for those eyes that were as bright as stars, I really wouldn't be able to tell whether the specific appearance was good-looking or ugly.

Of course, although his eyes were as bright as stars, they were dark at the moment, as if he had received a huge blow.

Miao Xiao didn't expect that besides Yan Sifu, Zhou An was also present in the room. He was slightly startled, but soon returned to normal and walked to the side to stand.

Yan Sifu pointed at Miao Xiao, then pointed at Zhou An, and said: This is Miss Miao Xiao from Miaojiang, and this is Mr. Zhou, the top craftsman and supervisor in Tingyun Mansion. The two of them may not have met before. , but now we have met.”

Zhou An had met Miao Xiao before, but they were far apart and just listened to music.

There were many people at that time, and Miao Xiao didn't pay attention to Zhou An, so he never saw him.

After Yan Sifu said this, Zhou An just nodded slightly.

Well, just tell me if you have anything.

Now that we have reached this point, we must say what needs to be said.

Otherwise, in the end, I would still be confused.

After Zhou An said this, Miao Xiao nodded slightly.

But his eyes were looking at Yan Sifu, asking if he could say it.

Yan Sifu nodded, indicating that he could say it.

Tell Mr. Zhou your identity and purpose.

After receiving permission, Miao Xiao said in a very depressed tone: The Gu God Cult was destroyed by your Majesty, and my existence is to eliminate the remnants of the Ancient God Cult.

At this point, she paused slightly, wanting to see Zhou An's expression.

But Zhou An's expression was very calm, as if he didn't hear anything.

Not seeing the expression he wanted, Miao Xiao paused slightly, lowered his eyes, stared at the table and continued: I am the medicine man of the Gu God Sect.

After saying this, Zhou An, who was about to take a sip of tea, immediately put down his teacup and looked Miao Xiao up and down.

He looked at Yan Sifu: Wouldn't people who use poison poison lose their minds? How can they be smarter than normal people?

What Zhou An said was smart was actually really smart.

From the moment Miao Xiao entered the room, she had been looking at his expression.

He knew that Miao Xiao, a woman, was not as decadent and indifferent as she seemed on the surface, but a thoughtful person.

Because of the current situation, his identity is self-evident as he can sit with Yan Sifu.

So Miao Xiao has been observing his own situation, even while talking.

This girl is very good at observing people's emotions.

After Zhou An finished speaking, Yan Sifu raised his hand.

I'd better ask Miss Miao Xiao to tell you.

Miao Xiao nodded, folded his hands and placed them on his lower abdomen, and whispered: The Poison Medicine Man was recently researched by the Gu God Sect. In fact, there were poison medicine men before, but we all used dead bodies as materials. .”

When His Majesty the Great Chu State was campaigning in all directions, the Gu God Sect had always been a strong backing. We used the corpses of dead soldiers to turn into poisonous medicine men to continue the war. After the establishment of the Great Chu State, the Gu God Sect came under His Majesty's support. reward.

But the Gu God Cult didn't know the limits and arbitrarily used living people to conduct experiments in order to make new breakthroughs, which led to this result. As for me, I am a special case. I grew up in the Gu God Cult since I was a child, and I don’t know why, but those poisons couldn’t make me lose my mind, so I kept testing, and finally reached the current situation.”

I am a poison medicine person, and I am a poison medicine person with sanity. The senior sisters and sisters of the Gu God Sect all call me medicine girl, and I am the only medicine girl.

Having said this, Miao Xiao stopped talking.

Zhou An touched his chin, sorted out all the information, and then looked at Yan Sifu: Master Yan, why is Miao Xiao also part of the plan?

At this point, Zhou An is not a fool. He can see that Miao Xiao is actually part of the emperor's plan.

The Gu God Sect was wiped out, but Miao Xiao stayed alone, and even found this place.

It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no participation in this.

Yan Fusi Mansion sighed and said: Because this place is the farthest away from the Gu God Sect, and Miao Xiao, as a medicine girl, is extremely important to the women of the Gu God Sect.

Wait! Zhou An raised his hand and interrupted: You said Miao Xiao is extremely important, and Tingyun Mansion is the farthest from the Gu God Sect, so Miao Xiao is a bait, right?

Yan Sifu nodded, indicating that this was the case.

Zhou An looked stunned.

If Miao Xiao is really so important to the Gu God Sect, then those remaining remnants will come to find Miao Xiao at all costs.

The Gu God Sect is the furthest away from Tingyun Mansion, and the journey in between will definitely be exposed. If there is an ambush in the middle, the remnants of the Gu God Sect will suffer losses.

What's more, there will be an ambush in Tingyun Mansion.

Thinking of this, Zhou An expressed his guess.

Yan Sifu nodded, clapped his hands and said, As expected of Brother Zhou, he guessed everything.

Zhou An continued: So Master Yan just mentioned women, is it possible that the majority of women from this Gu God Cult are women?

Yan Sifu did not answer this question, but Miao Xiao answered it.

It's not that the majority are women. The Gu God Sect is all women from the Miao border. There are only some men, called medicine slaves. They are all evil-doers. After being caught by the senior sisters of the Gu God Sect, their appearance was ruined. The Gu God Cult acts as a slave.

Zhou An took a breath of cold air.

Good guy, this sect is actually composed of Miao women. This is really fun.

It turns out that the guy I met in the dungeon was just a captured slave.

Zhou An asked the last question: Why are you doing these things? It's too troublesome.

Originally, everyone was in peace, so you could just study corpses and become medicine men. If you insist on conducting experiments on living people, aren't you just asking for trouble for yourself?

After hearing this, Miao Xiao lowered his head and his tone became sad: A sect that uses poison will also inject the poison into itself. In the end, the poison will lurk in the blood, and this kind of At that time, if you don't let go of the poison, you will be poisoned to death. If you want to let go of the poison, you need to have deeper communication.

Zhou An was slightly stunned, but as an experienced driver, he quickly understood what this so-called in-depth communication meant.

He thought about it for a while and then said in a tone that shocked everyone: Is it possible that you are studying poison poison people just because...

Miao Xiu nodded: This is why the senior sisters, including the leader, are the only ones who can release the poison, and they must be alive.

Zhou An's mouth twitched and said, Even if we want to use poison to poison people, wouldn't it be enough to experiment on those who have committed the most heinous crimes?

Miao Xiao also said just now that Miao Jiang made the most evil people into slaves, so wouldn't it be enough to use them for experiments?

Miao Xiao said bitterly: In the beginning, it was like this. Actually, it was a secret. Our medicine slaves have this function. But gradually, there were not enough medicine slaves. We asked your majesty for help, but even if your majesty wanted to find it, we could not transport it. It takes time, and gradually some of my classmates can’t bear it anymore.”

Zhou An fell into deep thought.

Miao Xiao continued: Master Zhou, do you know why I am important?

Zhou An shook his head and said he didn't know.

Miao Xiao said in a low tone: Because I have become a sane poisoner, and I am no longer affected by the Gushen Cult's techniques. The Gushen Cult's techniques are a constraint. If the root cause can be found from me, then It can solve hidden dangers, but some of my fellow disciples can’t wait any longer. Otherwise, they will die...

Miao Xiao! Yan Sifu frowned: Don't forget your identity!

Miao Xiao quickly lowered his head and apologized: I'm sorry, Master Yan.

Yan Sifu shook off the fat on his body and said in a cold tone: Remember, no matter what, it is taboo to attack ordinary people. Don't think that they have no choice. If they have the ability, they will go to people in the industry to deal with ordinary people. People, in my opinion, are bullies.

Miao Xiao did not dare to continue.

Zhou An waved his hand and said: I already understand, how about we explain the follow-up plan in detail?
