Chapter 145: Master's Wife Recognizes Her, the Wen Family Prepares Poison
"Xu..."
The carriage and horses rode fast, and in just a short while, they arrived at the highest tower in Tianqi City, the 32nd Pavilion of the Music Bureau.
Li Changsheng pulled the reins and looked at the Immortal Pointing Platform from afar, and said to Baili Dongjun behind him:
"Dongba, we're here."
Baili Dongjun and Yin Luoxia opened the car curtain at the same time and looked up.
Three towering attics rose from the ground, and the tallest attic in the middle blocked most of the moon.
Under the moonlight, a big golden bird in the attic spread its wings and was about to fly, how spectacular!
"Look, that golden bird on the top of the attic is the Immortal Guiding Platform, which is also the highest point in Tianqi City."
"Every major festival, the Xiao royal family will hang up the divine bird wind flag. The wind blows the flag and it almost breaks the sky!"
Baili Dongjun got off the carriage and looked in the direction of Li Changsheng's finger, then turned to the two of them and said:
"Master, Junior-Martial-Nephew Yin, please wait for me!"
Before he finished speaking, Baili Dongjun held the wine gourd in one hand, used his lightness skills, and flew up on the wind.
In just a few breaths, he flew to the Immortal Pointing Platform.
Baili Dongjun held the divine bird totem with one hand, and the voice of his master, the Confucian Immortal Gu Chen, seemed to ring in his ears:
"Dong Jun, please go to Tianqi City for Master and brew a pot of peach blossom moonlight, and hang it in the highest place in Tianqi City!"
He gently hung the jade wine gourd on the long beak of the divine bird, and Baili Dongjun silently said in his heart:
"Master, here I come! I haven't forgotten your wish. I don't know when I can return to Tianqi. If you can see this pot of wine in heaven, you will definitely be very pleased!"
Baili Dongjun's eyes sparkled, and just when he was about to jump off the platform, a woman in a goose yellow dress and a white veil on her face walked out of the attic in the distance.
The woman's beautiful eyes were fixed on Baili Dongjun and the pot of wine on the high platform behind him.
"Wait a moment!"
Hearing the woman's words, Baili Dongjun twisted his feet and stepped in the air to come in front of her.
"Are you...calling me?"
The woman was none other than Yueluo, the head of the 32nd Pavilion of the Music Academy. Baili Dongjun could clearly see tears in Yueluo's eyes.
"Who are you to Gu Chen? Why do you want to hang a pot of wine on the Immortal Pointing Platform?"
Baili Dongjun was startled and blurted out:
"Confucian Immortal Gu Chen is my master. Sister, do you know my master?"
Yueluo was so amused by his word "sister" that she burst into laughter:
"Impolite little disciple! What sister? According to seniority, you should respectfully address me as Master's Wife!"
Baili Dongjun was shocked and said:
"Master...Master's wife? But I have never heard Master mention you!"
Yueluo lowered her head, wiped away her tears, and said with a smile:
“Don’t worry about this. What’s your name? Why did Gu Chen ask you to hang a pot of wine here?”
Baili Dongjun had no choice but to respond obediently:
"I am Baili Dongjun! I am here to fulfill my master's long-cherished wish. I came here to fulfill my master's dying wish!"
"Baili Dongjun? What is your relationship with Baili Luochen?"
When Yueluo heard the surname "Baili", his face suddenly changed.
Baili Dongjun was somewhat puzzled:
"It's my grandfather. Why are you asking this, senior?"
Yueluo was somewhat confused and murmured:
"Gu Chen, ah Gu Chen, why do you want to accept the grandson of your great enemy as your apprentice? Sigh..."
When Baili Dongjun heard her say this, he understood everything, so he told her everything about Gu Chen's intention to live in seclusion in Qiandong City.
Yue Luo was relieved. After pondering for a moment, he took out a beautifully embroidered sachet from his bosom and handed it to Baili Dongjun:
"So that's how it is. This is the first time we met, and Master's Wife didn't have anything to give you. This is the healing elixir that your Master gave me back then."
"When you and Mr. Li go out to explore the world, maybe you can use it, so just carry it with you!"
Baili Dongjun stared blankly at the sachet in Yueluo's hand. Both sides of the sachet were embroidered with the Western Chu totem phoenix in gold thread, which showed that it was undoubtedly a gift from the Confucian immortal Guchen.
"This... is so valuable, how can Dongjun accept it? Just let it stay on you forever!"
Baili Dongjun was reminded of someone when he saw the object, and thought that this person must be his master's beloved back then, so he said this.
Yueluo stuffed it into Baili Dongjun's hand:
"Be good and take it! Baili Dongjun...I have something to say."
Baili Dongjun had no choice but to accept it: "Senior, please speak!"
Yue Luo's eyes moved, and he took a deep look at Baili Dongjun's face and said:
"Can you call me... Master's Wife?"
Baili Dongjun looked at Yueluo who was still deeply in love with the Confucian Immortal Guchen, and could not bear to refuse him, so he bowed deeply:
"Gu Chen's disciple Baili Dongjun greets his master's wife!"
Baili Dongjun's words "Master's wife" made Yueluo's tears fill her eyes again, and even the white veil covering her face was wet with tears.
Just after Baili Dongjun stood up, Yueluo, who was just in front of him, had quietly left.
……
Lingnan, the poison room in the back hall of the Wen family.
"Uncle, how can the toxicity of these hourglass ladies (a kind of extremely poisonous spider) be able to defeat those beasts from the Tang Sect? No!"
"Uncle, why has the taste of the bloody throat become so bland? No!"
"Uncle, how can you treat things like the Kui Scorpion and the Ghost-faced Wolf Spider, which are used to fool children, as treasures? No!"
"Oh my... Why is the poison of the bamboo sea's bamboo green snake so weak that it won't bite me on its own initiative? Could it be that they have followed the Confucian Immortal and abandoned evil and turned to good?"
……
Wen Hujiu and Wen Buping stood side by side behind Wen Yanzhao, speechless.
Just watch this little bastard throw those poisonous insects and weeds that ordinary people are afraid of everywhere!
"It's really disappointing that our Wen family, which is unrivaled in the world, has nothing useful left!"
Wen Yanzhao turned around with half a spider leg hanging from his mouth.
Wen Hujiu and Wen Buping wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads at the same time and looked at each other.
Wen Yanzhao wiped his mouth and spread his hands:
"Look, none of you are decent. You two asked me to come here to make the drugs, and now none of you are doing your job well!"
"That's enough drug making for today. I'm going to go play with Grandpa!"
Wen Hujiu held Wen Yanzhao down and said teasingly:
"Well, you little brat, now that you've grown stronger and have a higher level of cultivation, you don't care about the things of our Wen family, right?"
"When I was a kid, I loved these things more than rocking cars and candied haws!"
Wen Yanzhao curled his lips:
"Didn't you say that the Tang Sect has developed very well in recent years, with the two greatest talents of darkness and poison, and that Tang Lianyue is about to surpass you, my uncle?"
"If these things were in someone else's possession, they would indeed be the most poisonous substance in the world, but if you ask me to taste the poison, I can only tell you the truth."
Wen Buping pulled over the warm pot of wine and mixed it:
"Third brother, Zhao'er is right. What kind of skills has he practiced? We two brothers will definitely not be able to catch up."
After finishing speaking, he turned to Wen Yanzhao:
"Zhao'er, you were really impressive when you came back a few days ago and took out those poisons, but...your uncle and I weren't 100% sure we could control the toxicity."
"If we use the top-grade peacock gallbladder, crazy ointment or something like that that you gave us at the poison testing meeting..."
"To be honest, I am a little worried."
Wen Yanzhao stretched his neck and asked:
"Uncle, what are you worried about?"
Wenhujiu rolled his eyes and said:
"We are going to compete, not to massacre. With the things you gave us, we may be able to wipe out all those guys participating in the poison testing conference!"
"You are immune to all poisons, but they are just mortals!"
Wen Yanzhao suddenly realized that his current cultivation level of half a step into the divine wandering realm, coupled with the Yonghe poison refined by Juding Duyin, made him invincible.
If it were really used at the poison testing conference, it would be just like what Wenhujiu said, and the entire Tang Sect would be left with nothing.
Wen Yanzhao sat down on the table, holding his chin and thinking for a while:
"How about...you still use the original recipe, Second Uncle prepares the poison, Young Uncle uses the poison, and I'll back you up?"
Wen Hujiu rolled his eyes, glanced at Wen Buping and smiled knowingly:
"It's done! It's settled!"
Before Wen Yanzhao could express his opinion, Wen Hujiu pulled Wen Buping out of the poison room:
"With this kid, what's the point of making poison? What the hell kind of poison is that? Come on, come and have a drink with me!"
Seeing that his uncle only cared about eating and not being beaten, Wen Yanzhao had no choice but to take out the little gold left from his pocket and stuff it into the storage space.
I secretly swore in my heart that I would never give Wenhujiu any pocket money again in this life.
