Chapter 39 Chapter Thirty-Nine

Zhao Guan returned to the outer hall, Qingzhu asked: A Guan, what weapon do you use?Zhao Guandao: Single sword.As he spoke, he drew a knife from his waist.Qingzhu took it and said: Do you have fresh snake venom?Zhao Guandao: Yes.He has kept snakes for many years, and immediately took out a snake cage from his luggage.Qingzhu looked at it and said: Take half a cup of the venom of the viper.Zhao Guan nodded, took out a small jade cup, put a layer of tulle on the cup mask, stretched out his hand and grabbed a scarlet poisonous hat snake from the cage, opened the snake's head with two fingers in his right hand, held the small cup in his left hand, and pulled the poisonous snake out of the cage. He pressed his fangs on the cup, and lightly pressed the poison sacs on both sides of the snake's head with two fingers of his right hand.Not long after, pale yellow venom flowed from the snake's fangs, seeping into the cup drop by drop.

Qingzhu looked at the venom intently, and said: A Guan, among the four snake venoms, which one is this? Zhao Guan was very familiar with venomous snakes, so he said casually: There are three types of poison in the venom of poisonous hat snakes.It can paralyze the wound with severe pain, which is the first type; it can attack the human heart and slow down the blood flow, which is the second type; Relax completely, so that the whole body does not listen.Qing Zhu nodded and said: Not bad.What about the fourth?Zhao Guandao: The fourth type of snake venom can make the skin of the wound fester, and the poison of pit vipers has this effect.

Qingzhu smiled and said: You have raised poisonous snakes for several years, and it was finally not in vain.Once the snake venom is spit out, the effect will soon disappear.Quickly put this poison on the knife.Zhao Guan did as he said, Qing Zhu said again: Take this knife and cut yourself. Zhao Guan was startled.Qingzhu said: Xiao Meigui is a master at using snake venom, you are very likely to be poisoned by her snake venom, you must know the reaction when poisoned, and learn to save yourself in time.Will you save this poison?Zhao Guandao: I can suck out the venom and drink the dried blood specially designed to detoxify snakes.Qingzhu said: Do you have any?Zhao Guan nodded, and took out a small bottle from his arms.Qingzhu nodded and said: Very good, you can cut it.Zhao Guan raised his knife and cut a gash in his left arm.

When he was poisoned for the first time, the wound did not feel severe pain. After a while, he felt a little dull in his brain, and then he felt weak in body, dizzy in mind, and his eyes were blurred and dim.He supported himself strongly, and he heard Qing Zhu say in his ears: Xiao Meigui's snake venom must be stronger than this, you have to know how long you can last, and you must know whether it is too late to save yourself.Zhao Guan nodded, waited for a while, and said: I am dying.Qing Zhu shook his head and said: You can hold on a little longer.After a while, Zhao Guan said: I am really dying.Only then did Qingzhu nod, and said, "Okay, you start to save yourself immediately, and finish it within my count of five."Zhao Guan immediately stretched out his hand to squeeze out the poisonous blood from the wound, took the antidote, and after Qing Zhu counted to five, he suddenly swung his palm at him.Zhao Guan was startled, he quickly dodged to dodge, he felt his body was stiff and hard to control, he tried to support himself, and after dodging more than 20 moves, he felt the poison in his body gradually receding, and his limbs regained flexibility.

Qingzhu smiled and said: Not bad!You also have some attainments in lightness kung fu.From then on, we will subject you to snake venom three times a day, and you will be able to last longer when fighting against Xiao Meigui.Now let Zhao Guan sit down and rest, and ask him to take out the poison book of the Fire Crane Empress, study it together, and discuss the method of defending against Narcissus and Lily Gate's strange poison art.The two of them discussed until midnight, when Qingzhu said: You should also rest.I'll go out and snoop around and see what other people have up their sleeves.Immediately, he stepped out of the door, his steps were light, and he went far away.

Zhao Guan sighed and sat down on the chair.Never in his life had he used so many poisons and put so much thought into one day.He tried his best to get up, went to the bedside to look at Ding Xiang, saw that she was pale and had fallen into a deep sleep, so he rolled over on the bed and fell asleep beside her. After that, Zhao Guan followed Qingzhu to practice poison every day, studied the poison spectrum handed down by his mother, and repeatedly practiced various defense and knockdown skills of three opponents.Under the guidance and training of Qingzhu, he has a great understanding of various techniques of using poison, and has made rapid progress.

So seven days passed in a hurry, and the day of the competition finally arrived.Before dawn that day, the members of Baihuamen had already gathered beside the Bibo Pool, drawing lots to determine the order.The first match is Xiao Meigui vs. Zijiang, and the second match is Zhao Guan vs. Bai Lan'er; the winner will fight again, and the winner will become the head of the sect. The order is certain, the four sects are stirring up each other, talking about the chances of the four hall masters winning.When the time comes, the members of Baihuamen recite the eulogy of Baihua in unison.After the recitation, Bai Lan'er announced loudly: The competition begins!Please invite Xiao Meigui, the master of Lily Hall, and Zi Jiang, the fourth hall master, to compete.

Xiao Meigui walked to the pool, bowed to Zi Jiang from a distance, and said: Master uncle, please give up!With a leap, he stepped onto the small boat in Dongshou.Her red dress looked even more eye-catching on the emerald green pool, and seemed to be more colorful than the few fire lotus flowers in the water.Xiaoju stood by the bank, with her hands on her hips, proudly looking at Zijiang and his group of veterans.Zi Jiang stared at one eye, slowly stepped onto a small boat, raised the paddle and swiped hard, and the boat pierced into the pool like an arrow. The spectators held their breath and focused on the first competition in the Bibo Pool.Qingzhu said in a low voice: "Xiao Meigui boarded the boat first and gained the upper hand. It can be said that he has won 70%."But purple ginger is not easy to get along with, she did tricks in the water, have you seen it?Zhao Guan nodded slightly, and said: I think it is something like a water torpedo.Ding Xiang interrupted and said: Look!Xiaoju secretly helped and sprinkled the sad wind powder.Qingzhu said: The people on Zijiang's side have already prepared.The sky-wide net beside Zi Jiang's boat should be able to block Xiaoju's methods.

The three discussed in low voices, and the two in the pool had already started fighting.Xiao Meigui threw out an extremely long whip from her sleeve, and the tip of the whip pointed directly at Zijiang's face.Zi Jiang jumped and dodged on the boat, while paddling the boat to the south.The body of Xiao Meigui's whip was emitting a faint red light, obviously it was highly poisonous, but fortunately she was able to make this extremely long whip as flexible as a god, and the tip of the whip was always lingering in front of Zijiang.Zi Jiang suddenly yelled, raised the wooden oar in his hand, wrapped it around the long whip, and pulled hard, the boat he was riding on was extremely fast and bullied Xiao Meigui's boat.Zi Jiang raised her wooden oar and swiped across the water, splashing a piece of emerald green water at Xiao Meigui.Xiao Meigui was startled, the whip could not be pulled back in time, she immediately jumped up several feet to avoid the spray, but saw her bright red skirt was stained with a few drops of pool water, and immediately turned into scorched black.At this moment, there was a loud bang, but it was Zi Jiang who swung the paddle and split Xiao Meigui's boat in two. Xiao Meigui's body fell, and she was about to fall into the pool.

Amidst the exclamation of the audience, Xiao Meigui flicked her wrist in mid-air, the long whip pulled the wooden oar like a spirit snake, and hit Zijiang's chest.Zi Jiang cursed angrily, turned sideways to avoid, the wooden oar dropped from her hand, and when it fell, it caught the side of the boat, Xiao Meigui pulled hard, twisted her slender waist, and landed on Zi Jiang's boat.At this time, the two women stood at the bow of the boat and at the stern of the boat, fighting each other close to each other, and the situation became more dangerous.Xiao Meigui gave up the long whip, took out a moth eyebrow and stabbed at the opponent, while Zi Jiang swung the wooden oar horizontally and straight, fiercely.The two women not only competed with each other with martial arts, but also kept intriguing and poisoning each other.

When they were fighting, Xiao Meigui suddenly giggled, jumped back, threw out the long whip, rolled up the branches on the bank, and swung backwards.At this moment, there were two bangs and bangs under Zijiang's boat, water splashed everywhere, the boat swayed violently, and turned sideways.Zi Jiang exclaimed, and jumped up. When she landed, the boat turned upside down, and she landed on the bottom of the boat. Although she was saved from falling into the pool, her shoes and socks were already wet by the blue water.Her face was extremely ugly, Xiao Meigui still swayed under the tree with the long whip, laughed endlessly, and said: How did the water torpedo you released swim under your own boat? The women in the audience could already see that Zi Jiang's face turned black, she had obviously been poisoned by Xiao Meigui the moment the boat capsized, and her feet were stained with blue water, so she lost the match.The disciples in the fourth hall next to him hurriedly rowed over and rescued Zijiang into the boat.As for how Zijiang's water torpedo got under her own boat, Qing Zhu and Zhao Guan had already seen clearly that it was Xiao Meigui who had caught the torpedo with a fishing net long ago, deliberately brought the torpedo under Zijiang's boat, and then The trigger, in order to turn defeat into victory. At this moment, Xiao Meigui had lightly landed on the shore, wrapped the long whip around her waist, and looked at Bai Lan'er with a provocative look on her face. Bai Lan'er sneered, and said: "Don't be complacent, if it wasn't for sister Xiaoju to help you, how could you succeed?"Xiao Meigui's face sank, and he shouted: "Bloody spitting, nonsense!"The long whip suddenly swung towards Bai Lan'er.But seeing a flash of green shadow, it was Qingzhu stretched out the bamboo tube and swung the whip away, and said coldly: Senior Sister Lan and Junior Brother Zhao haven't competed yet.Are you in a hurry? Xiao Meigui snorted, and with a look of disdain on her face, she said: I might as well just take a rest.Turn around and walk away. Bai Lan'er turned her head to look at Zhao Guan, and said: Junior Brother Zhao, please.Zhao Guan saluted and said, "Senior Sister Lan, please."Before the two of them got on the boat, they had already blocked three poison techniques.Zhao Guan thought to himself: Sister Lan is completely silent when she uses the poison, it's really scary.If I hadn't known the secret of her Narcissus Sect in advance, I'm afraid I wouldn't know how it happened when I fell to the ground. Bai Lan'er glanced at Zhao Guanduo, her heart trembled: This little boy knows a lot of poisonous arts, so he can't be underestimated.First step on the boat and swing into the pool with the oars.Zhao Guan also slowly swung into the pool in a boat, and the two of them stood facing each other with a distance of five zhang.
