Chapter Three: Behind the scenes
Chen Sheng asked quickly: "Xiaohao, what's going on?"
Chang Sihao said, "Look!" The three of them surrounded him and pointed at him. They saw that Qin Yi's open mouth was pitch black, and there was a wrinkled recess in the middle of his tongue. Although it was not very obvious, it could be seen that it was a small hole. Chen Sheng hurriedly copied the candlestick next to him, pulled off the lampshade, and shone it over.
The candlelight swayed, the light flashed, and the shadow inside the mouth kept changing. A corpse scent mixed with the smell of spices floated in the humid air. The four of them got closer and couldn't help but frown.
Qin Juexiang saw the wound and was shocked and angry: "There is no wound on the lower jaw. Could it be that the uncle was captured and scolded him after he accidentally scolded him. The thieves pinched his tongue and stabbed him into it? It was so vicious!" Chang Sihao took the candlestick, adjusted the lighting angle, and stumbled his head deeply into the coffin, looked down from the side, and said: "There are also the same small holes on his upper palate."
The three of them looked at it as they said, and they were indeed good, and they couldn't help but be surprised and suspicious.
Chang Sihao thought for a moment and handed out the candlestick: "Brother Chen, come and hold the light." He went up and helped the body up in a sitting position, and then called out: "Master, please let me go, let's disassemble the old man's hair."
Ma Mingshao looked at Qin Juexiang, and his eyes were about to inquire. Qin Juexiang said, "What are you saying to you? I forgot so quickly? Brother Chang's words are mine! Why are you still stunned?"
Ma Mingshao replied: "Yes, yes!" He came up to take off his crown and untied his bun, and the four of them kept their eyes closed for a moment, all focusing on it.
In a short while, Qin Yi's body was spread out and exposed above his head. Qin Juexiang and Chen Sheng looked at each other and tightened their fists at the same time. Ma Mingshao also frowned slightly and gritted his teeth.
I saw a small four-pointed star-shaped wound in the center of Qin Yimeng Gate. The surrounding scalp was cracked, and it was dry and hard, and it was embedded in a gap, curled out slightly. There was a cross-shaped hole in the subcutaneous skull, which was perpendicular to the small hole in the upper palate and tongue, and the surroundings of the bones had also become black.
Chang Sihao looked carefully for a while with a calm expression and said, "This injury is obviously pierced from the top of his head, penetrates the skull and penetrates the tongue, and does not penetrate. Judging from the color of the skull and tongue, I am afraid that the enemy's weapons will be highly toxic."
"I'll fuck his grandma!" Qin Juexiang cursed: "If you stab me like this, even a ghost will die again. He is still feeding poison on the weapon!"
Chang Sihao said: "No, probably the enemy's weapons are for poisoning, not because they are afraid that people will die inadequately."
Qin Juexiang was stunned and nodded, "Yes, yes, I'm so angry." His eyes turned around and continued, "Look at this wound, it should be caused by external weapons such as Emei Thorn. There are really few masters who use this thing in the world..." Ma Mingshao hurriedly said, "Report to the young master, You Biao, the second head of the Shuiyin Hall of Chaozhou Prefecture, used the water spike. Liu Changhe, the head of the Yin family of Linjiang Prefecture, and the head of the Zhiyue Hall of Yuezhou Prefecture, also used this weapon. As for Emei Thorns, there are more famous ones, such as..." Qin Juexiang suddenly reached out and stopped him, saying, "Wait, the water spikes are generally flat and round, while the Emei Thorns are mostly round vertebrae, but the wound is in the shape of a four-pointed star, and those weapons cannot be stabbed."
Chang Sihao's eyes flashed, as if he realized something, he turned his head and said, "Brother Chen, please take off your shirt."
Chen Sheng was stunned and immediately understood, put down the candlestick and acted as he said.
Ma Mingshao and Qin Juexiang looked at each other, with doubts in their eyes, not knowing what they meant.
In the blink of an eye, the outer shirt was removed, revealing the moon white shirt. Chen Sheng was anxious and too lazy to take it off again. He pulled it apart, and Qin Juexiang was stunned.
I saw his plump and round muscles warmed by candlelight, and they were connected to the thick chest hair of his lower abdomen, making him look like an aggressive, wild and tough all over his body. There were many flesh-colored scars that had long healed in the chest, shoulders, abdomen and ribs, long and short, interlaced, and at first glance it seemed like a light-colored flesh worm.
This was the first time Qin Juexiang saw this scene. He felt that compared with his scars, the scar on Lei Sheng's body was a little bit like a big witch. He was surprised and couldn't help but tremble: "I heard from my uncle that this Chen, who was surnamed Chen, joined the Qin family when he was young, must have been injured when he followed his grandfather to fight and kill. This big beard...he..."
Chang Sihao used knuckles instead of rulers to measure Qin Yi's wound on his head, turned around and searched Chen Sheng's chest and abdomen, looking for a cross scar, corresponding to the measurement, and said, "It's a little worse, but not much."
Chen Shengyi said: "The depth of the thorn varies, and the size of the wound should be slightly different, but the shape is indeed the same."
Chang Sihao nodded: "I think it's probably him."
The two of them talked, but Qin Juexiang was confused and asked, "Brother, what's going on? Who is it?"
Chang Sihao looked at his eyes and spoke solemnly: "What we are talking about is fake Yuan Liangyu."
Qin Juexiang was stunned for a moment, then remembered: "That boy who can't stir up the Changqing Gang to get along with us?"
Chen Sheng said: "Yes, this man later pretended to be Qibei Mountain in Wuzetian Temple to deceive the people in the Hundred Swords Alliance. The cross wound on my body was given by him. The weapons he used were in addition to the black jade dragon scale rope, which was his killer move."
Ma Mingshao said: "There are many such external weapons in the world. Although the wounds are similar, they are difficult to determine." After hearing this, the three of them felt reasonable and hesitated for a moment. Apart from each other, Chang Sihao said: "Brother Chen, I remember that you said that the poison from Yuan Liangyu's black thorn was very strange, and it must be a unique family, right?" Seeing him nodding, he continued: "Then let's get some of the poison in the uncle's body and put it on the livestock, and observe whether the effect is the same as when you were poisoned before. Wouldn't you be able to tell the difference?"
Chen Sheng was overjoyed and shook his head again: "No, the specialty of this poison lies in the reactions and feelings inside the body. The appearance is just black, which is almost the same as other ordinary poisons. What's the use for livestock?"
The four of them were silent again.
Qin Juexiang's eyes turned, as if he was thinking of something happy. He glanced at Chen Shengyi, but snorted in his nose and shook his head.
Suddenly, Chen Sheng picked up the short knife that Chang Sihao had just used to cut off the corpse, and shouted: "Uncle is offended!" He waved his hand and stabbed Qin Yi's body into the mouth-
This sudden incident scared the three of them. Qin Juexiang shouted, "What are you doing!" He reached out to stop him, but saw that Chen Shengyi had pulled the knife back, retreated and turned his wrists, reversed the tip of the knife, determined the cross scar between his chest and abdomen, and stabbed it in with a thud.
Qin Juexiang's eyes widened: "You...you..." But his heart was filled with joy: "Hey, how could he know what I want?"
Chen Shengyi's actions were very fast, and the incident happened suddenly. Although Chang Sihao was right next to him, he couldn't stop him. He hurried forward and hugged him, and said anxiously: "Brother Chen, are you crazy? Are you trying to use your body to make fun of it?"
"It's fine."
Chen Sheng stretched out his hand and pointed several acupoints, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and held it in, slowly pulled out the short knife, and immediately a piece of black air spread out from the wound.
Qin Juexiang said, "You idiot! Even if you want to test the poison, it would be fine if you cut a little finger, how can you stab this deadly place?"
Chen Shengyi reluctantly smiled: "I have a sense of responsibility. It has been a long time since I was last poisoned. I am afraid that I can't remember the feeling I felt at that time..."
Qin Juexiang was looking at him just now, thinking: "The livestock will not express the feeling of poisoning. Since you have been infected with this poison, why not sting yourself with the poison? I'm afraid the old guy will not be able to bear it." So he snorted and shook his head. However, he seemed to have been in touch with him and really did it. He couldn't help but admire him secretly, and suddenly he reacted: "He wants to try the poison, why don't he ask for instructions first? It must be because he is afraid that I won't allow him to use the sword on his uncle again. The old guy always takes his own initiative and doesn't take me seriously."
He got angry and wanted to curse a few more times. Seeing Chen Sheng sitting cross-legged on the ground, he closed his eyes, knowing that he was experiencing the feeling of being poisoned twice, he reluctantly held it back and thought to himself: "Your grandma, this knife doesn't care about you."
The sound of rain outside gradually stopped, and the night became deeper, but the sky was clearer and clearer. Chen Sheng was originally stiff and motionless, but slowly, he became slightly trembling. On his forehead, he saw the sweat beads becoming denser and larger, gathering together, dripping down, and the skin at the wound became black and dry, and there was no bleeding. In addition to being skillful in the mechanism, Qin Juexiang also liked to play with some poison occasionally. Seeing this scene, he knew it was a sign of poison, which was not artificial. He thought that the poison had been a long time ago, and he just touched some on the tip of the knife, but it was still so powerful and toxic. He must have played with the green water snake he had played with. Ma Mingshao looked around, and looked anxious and worried.
Chang Sihao saw Chen Sheng's appearance after stinging the first middle school. Now, when he saw his wounded skin dry, his heart suddenly became tight. After a while, Chen Sheng snorted lightly, opened his eyes, his expression was both joyful and worried, and his voice was deep and angrily: "It's him... it's him..." Apart from each other, he continued: "I should have thought of it long ago. That day, Cang Dajianyan said that the conflict between the Qin family and Juhao Pavilion was initiated by the imperial court, and then this fake Yuan Liangyu was probably from the Dongchang. In this way, I am afraid that they would have lurked beside him before the battle between the Qin family and Juhao Pavilion."
Qin Juexiang rolled his eyes and said, "What good thing is Juhao Pavilion? Even if no one is provoking it, they will be eyeing us for a day or two!"
Chen Shengyi seemed to have never heard of his words, and his eyes were far away, and he murmured: "Hundred Swords Alliance and we are friends but not enemies. Juhao Pavilion left in a desperate situation. Looking at the entire world, who else can have the strength to wipe out the rudder overnight? Moreover, their actions are ruthless, far from the martial arts people can do, and their purpose and motivation are quite obvious. Hey, I feel like I've racked my brains and ignored them..."
Chang Sihao said, "Don't hurry to say this, let's see which of these medicines is detoxified?" As he said that, he held a few small bottles in his palm. It turned out that he knew that Chen Shengyi usually carried various medicines, so he searched them out of the clothes he took off for first aid.
Chen Shengyi gently pushed his hand away: "My medicine can't help but relieve this poison."
