Chapter 269: Seizing the Dragon Blood Ganoderma Lucidum and the treacherous Five Poison Sect.
"Dragon Blood Ganoderma?"
Chen Jie looked at Linglong behind him in confusion and asked, "What is that?"
Linglong replied: "Dragon Blood Ganoderma is a thousand-year-old tonic. It is very rare. According to legend, it was watered with dragon blood to grow. It has a powerful blood-replenishing power."
"Sister Yaya has used up all her Phoenix blood, and is now completely exhausted. Only Dragon Blood and Ganoderma Lucidum can replenish her energy. This is Dragon Blood replenishing Phoenix Blood!"
Chen Jie was stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "Then where can I find this dragon blood Ganoderma?"
Linglong said: "There is only one dragon blood Ganoderma lucidum in the whole world, so let's put it in the hands of Gu Mother of my Five Poison Sect."
"Gu mother?"
Linglong said, "Yes, it is in the hands of Gu Mu. However, this is the most precious treasure of our Five Poison Sect and I will not give it to anyone easily. I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to get this dragon blood Ganoderma lucidum."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya's hands which were 'cut into pieces' and said, "Even if it is extremely difficult, I will save her!"
Linglong heard this and said, "Okay, I support you!"
After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya on the bed and said, "Now besides the dragon blood Ganoderma, she..."
Linglong said, "She's fine for now. I fed her some blood-replenishing potions. Although they can't replenish the missing phoenix blood in her body, they can still keep her alive for a year or two. You can leave her here. It's okay."
Chen Jiefang calmed down, looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you get the Dragon Blood Ganoderma and cure you, no matter how difficult it is!"
Chen Jie gently covered Zhao Ya with a blanket, then turned to look at Linglong and said, "Let's go out and talk."
Linglong said: "Okay."
After saying that, the two of them went out. Outside, Chen Jie suddenly saw Mr. Jin basking in the sun.
Mr. Jin felt someone coming out, and opened one of his snake eyes. The bloody yellow snake eye glanced at Chen Jie, and then he showed no interest at all.
Chen Jie was startled and looked around.
This should be a very secret place, and it should still be located inside the cave. One side should be a cliff, rarely visited by people, but it can allow sunlight and moonlight to shine in.
Let this place have a climate similar to that outside.
At the same time, there are carefully designed grooves on the cliff, with mountain spring water trickling in the grooves, flowing in here, and finally gathering into a small river, and finally merging into the golden pool.
This small river is the drinking water here, as well as the irrigation source for the surrounding vegetable and wheat fields.
Chen Jie and Linglong came to a stone platform.
Linglong sat on a stone bench nearby, and on the stone platform were placed various bottles and jars, as well as some handmade puppets.
Chen Jie sat down, and Linglong said, "Go to the river and scoop some water yourself."
Chen Jie didn't say anything, but looked at Linglong and said, "I haven't asked for your name, lady!"
"Female hero? Haha, I'm not a female hero, my name is Linglong!"
Chen Jie clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Lady Linglong, for saving my life!"
Linglong heard this and said, "Don't thank me. It was Sister Yaya who saved you. So, are you Sister Yaya's lover?"
Ok?
Chen Jie was stunned, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer. After thinking for a while, he said, "No, we are just ordinary friends!"
Linglong's face suddenly changed when she heard this and she said angrily: "How dare you not want Sister Yaya, are you still a human being?"
Chen Jie was stunned, and looked at Linglong and said, "Miss Linglong, why do you say that? What do you mean I am not a human being?"
"Sister Yaya risked her life to save you, but you refused to admit that you were her lover. My mother said, if you weren't her lover, who would have risked their lives to save you?"
"My mother said that people like you are called unfaithful men and they all deserve to be killed!"
After hearing this, Chen Jie was stunned. He looked at Linglong and didn't know what to say for a moment. This little girl was a little extreme.
But after thinking about it, Chen Jie said, "It's not that I don't admit that I am your sister Yaya's lover brother, the main thing is that your sister Yaya may not admit it. I am her lover brother."
Linglong heard this and said, "No, that won't happen, Sister Yaya, she risked her life to save you, so she must want you to become her lover's brother, otherwise why would she risk her life to save you?"
Chen Jie was speechless again. He had no words to say.
Linglong is right. Zhao Ya doesn’t like you and she risked her life to save you.
Chen Jie was silent.
After a while, Chen decided to change the subject, and then he looked at Linglong and said, "Let's talk about you."
Linglong was stunned and asked, "What did you say about me?"
Chen Jie asked, "Why are you here? Who are you? Where are your parents?"
Linglong looked at Chen Jie and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
Chen Jie said: "Curious."
Linglong asked, "You weren't sent by Su, were you?"
"What about Sue? Who is that?"
Chen Jie asked with a puzzled look on his face, who is this Na Su?
Linglong said: "Na Su, you don't know Na Su, that person should not be sent by him."
Chen Jie looked at Linglong and said, "Can you tell me what happened between you and that Su?"
Linglong looked at Chen Jie and said, "I'm telling you, you can't do anything about this."
Chen Jie said: "Maybe. At least I want to thank you for helping me and the princess."
Linglong heard this and said, "Na Su is my brother and also my enemy."
Chen Jie was stunned, and then Linglong told Chen Jie a secret.
Linglong's identity was indeed as Chen Jie had imagined. She was the daughter of the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, the Gu Mother.
And Na Su is Gu Mu's son.
As for the Gu Mother, she was injured by Yuan Sanjia, who was ranked third on the Heavenly Ranking, during her last trip to the Central Plains. She fled back to the Five Poisons Academy to recuperate and went into seclusion for a long time, ignoring worldly affairs.
During this period, his elder brother, Nasu, wanted to obtain the position of acting leader.
However, his mother, the Gu Mother, passed the position of the leader of this generation to him.
However, his brother found out about it, and Na Su, following the advice of Zhang Keqing who was outside, started to kill himself.
While they were planning, he hid under the stone table at the back of the cave.
After knowing this, Xiao Linglong was frightened and ran here directly and hid.
And this is her and Mr. Jin’s secret base.
As for the relationship between Linglong and Mr. Jin, it is very magical.
As the children of the Gu mother, they must be taken to the golden pool for baptism after they are born.
I hope to get Mr. Jin’s approval.
However, the water of the Golden Pool is extremely poisonous, and many children die because they cannot withstand the poison of the Golden Pool.
However, Linglong is an exception, because according to legend, she has the purest Jiuli blood in her body and is the true descendant of the Holy Lord.
The water in the golden pool was just like ordinary clear water to her. She did not feel any discomfort after touching it, and even felt very comfortable. Therefore, she started swimming in this pool when she was very young.
And Mr. Jin is not as cruel as he looks.
It is actually very kind, like an old grandfather, and often takes care of Linglong.
It can be said that Linglong’s best friend is Mr. Jin.
Therefore, when she heard that her own brother and the outsider Zhang Keqing were planning to murder her, she was terrified and immediately ran to her secret base.
Chen Jie finally understood.
It turns out that this is a story of a secret power struggle. Theoretically, the little Linglong in front of them is the legitimate successor to the Five Poisons Sect. As a result, her brother Na Su wants to seize the position of acting leader of the Five Poisons Sect.
He discussed with a new guest named Zhang how to murder Linglong in order to gain the position of acting leader.
Linglong accidentally overheard their conversation. After her brother found her, he immediately sent the guards to hunt her down.
She ran all the way and finally came to Jinchi, where she escaped the guards' pursuit.
Hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Linglong and said, "When encountering such a thing, shouldn't you report it to your mother, Gu Mother, immediately?"
Linglong heard this and said, "No, no, mother is seriously injured. No one can disturb her during her retreat."
Chen Jie said: "They are going to kill you, and we can't disturb them?"
Linglong said: "Mother is in the process of transformation. If you disturb her, she will be seriously injured at best, or even her life may be in danger."
Chen Jie frowned and asked, "Silkworm transformation?"
Linglong said: "Don't you know? That is the "Heavenly Silkworm Divine Art" of our Five Poison Sect. After being injured, you can transform into a cocoon to heal the wound."
Chen Jie was surprised and said, "So amazing."
Linglong said: "Of course."
Chen Jie heard this and asked again: "When did the guest official named Zhang come?"
Linglong said: "Well, he came not long ago. Last time, a beam of light flew to Wan Gu Mountain, and then he came and said he wanted to join my Five Poison Sect."
"My mother said that this person was cunning and did not seem like a good person, so she drove him away."
"I didn't expect that my brother would invite me to be a guest official."
After hearing this, Chen Jie paused for a moment and asked, "Is this person a Han Chinese?"
Linglong nodded slightly when she heard this and said, "Yes, he is a Han Chinese."
Chen Jie understood in his heart that this person was a Han Chinese, so he understood this person's motive. He must have come for Wu Mu's posthumous letter. However, this person was too well-informed. How could he know about it as soon as Guang arrived in Xiangxi?
And he came to seek refuge in advance, that's awesome.
Thinking about this, Chen Jie said to Linglong: "By the way, what is inside that light? Have you found it?"
Linglong said: "I don't know. We didn't find it before I hid in here, but that guest official Zhang has always been very concerned about this matter."
Chen Jie nodded in understanding. How could he not be sad?
It is estimated that this guest Zhang came here just for this thing.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie looked at Linglong and said, "Linglong, since you are the daughter of Gu Mu, can you help me ask Gu Mu for the Dragon Blood Ganoderma? Chen Jiusi will definitely be grateful."
Linglong frowned when she heard that.
Chen Jie said, "Miss Linglong, if you have any difficulties, I can help you. I owe you a favor! In the future, I will obey your orders."
Linglong hesitated and said, "It's not that I don't want to ask for the Dragon Blood Ganoderma for Sister Yaya, but I can't see my mother!"
Chen Jie frowned and asked, "How can I not see him?"
Linglong said, "The place where my mother is in seclusion is the leader's secret room. The only way to get in is under the leader's golden chair. There is always at least one elder guarding there. Now, most of the elders have been bribed by my brother. If I show up, they will capture me and hand me over to my brother."
"And even if we sneak to the Golden Chair, it won't work because there is a mechanism there. If we want to open it, we must use the tokens of the five elders."
"So, if we want to see my mother, we must first find a way to gather the tokens of the five elders, and then open my mother's mechanism and find her."
Hearing this, Chen Jie fell silent, thought for a long time and said, "It seems that if I want to see your mother, I must help you get back your position as the acting leader."
Linglong asked, "How do I get it back?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Linglong and said, "Linglong, first tell me about the composition of the people in your Five Poison Sect, including their status."
Chen Jie was afraid that Linglong might not understand, so he spoke.
Linglong heard this and said, "Oh, that's right, the Five Poison Sect has one leader..."
Chen Jie didn't expect that Linglong was not as simple as she looked. She could actually accurately describe the structure of the Five Poison Sect and seemed very skilled. It turned out that she had been trained by the Gu Mother before.
Through Linglong's narration, Chen Jie also learned about the structure of this great sect that had been entrenched in western Hunan for a thousand years.
The Five Poisons Sect.
It has been passed down for thousands of years, and its earliest traceability can be traced back to the ancient times, the Battle for Supremacy.
After Chiyou was defeated, some of the Jiuli people hid in the mountains and evolved into the Miao.
A core group of the Miao people set up the Five Poison Sect, whose leader is Chi You, the only true god. Under him, there is a leader, who is the Gu Mother.
Because the Five Poison Sect believes that Chi You is the true god, the Holy Woman is the leader, and the Holy Woman is the Mother of Gu. Therefore, most of the leaders of the Five Poison Sect are women, and women have priority in inheritance.
This is also why Linglong can become the acting leader, but her brother Nasu cannot.
Then under the leader, there are positions of acting leader, holy son, and holy daughter, but most of them are honorary positions and have no followers.
Below them are the five great elders, who are the five leaders of the Five Poison Sect.
They are: Yin Snake Gate, Golden Toad Gate, Poison Scorpion Gate, Centipede Gate, and Palace Guard Gate.
A gecko is a gecko, which is the four-legged snake that Zhao Ya almost ate.
These five gates then established five elders who were in charge of the affairs of the gate.
Then under them, there are various protectors, deacons, and thousand-householders and hundred-householders who are in charge of military affairs.
These are the structures of the Five Poison Sect.
Apart from the former leader, the only ones who can decide the position of the leader are these five elders.
After hearing this, Chen Jie thought about it and looked at Linglong.
"Do you have a particularly good relationship with any elders?"
Linglong said: "Yes, Granny Snake likes me the most."
Chen Jie asked: "The leader of the Yin Snake Sect?"
Linglong said: "Yes, that's right."
Chen Jie asked: "Who is your brother good with?"
Linglong said: "Elder Scorpion and Elder Centipede are both good friends with my brother. They once led troops together to fight against the imperial court."
Chen Jie said: "Oh, I see."
Thinking about this, Chen Jie began to calculate that the one who might be able to help Linglong now is the Yinshe Sect, while the ones who might be the enemies are Elder Poison Scorpion and Elder Centipede. And because of his own reasons, Elder Poison Scorpion is most likely the enemy.
After all, I killed the other person's apprentice, so it is natural and reasonable for him to kill me.
Apart from these two, there are only Elder Golden Toad and Elder Guardian. It is difficult to say anything about these two people at the moment.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie said, "Linglong, now we understand the situation."
"If you want to save your sister Yaya, you must meet your mother, Gu Mother, because the Dragon Blood Ganoderma is in your mother's hands."
Linglong nodded and said, "That's right."
Chen Jie said: "Then if you want to see your mother, you must obtain the waist badges of the five elders. Only then can you open the passage and see your mother."
Linglong said: "Yeah."
"If you want to gather the badges of the five elders, you can only ask them for them legitimately if you become the acting leader."
Linglong said: "That's right."
"And now you think the one who can stand on your side is the snake grandmother from the Yinshe Sect."
Linglong said: "Well, it's not that I think, it's that Granny Snake is definitely on my side."
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Yes, Granny Snake will definitely stand on your side."
"And the enemies are Elder Scorpion and Elder Centipede."
After hearing this, Linglong said, "That's right."
Chen Jie said: "So what should we do now?"
Linglong stared at Chen Jie and asked, "What should I do?"
Chen Jie said: "Let yourself have the bargaining chips to enter the game first?"
Linglong asked: "What do you mean, what are the chips?"
Chen Jie said: "Five elders, first you have to let the elders who support you know that you are still alive! Only then can she help us deal with them, understand?"
Linglong asked, "Go find Granny Snake?"
Chen Jie said: “That’s right!”
Chen Jie said: "Just give me something of yours, so that Granny Snake will know it was you who came to find him."
Linglong heard this and said, "No, I don't have anything with me. Besides, if you rashly go to find Granny Snake like this, Granny Snake will probably attack you. She will think you kidnapped me."
Chen Jie was stunned when he heard this: "This..."
Linglong said, "I'll go with you."
Chen Jie said: "This, the princess..."
Linglong said, "It's okay. I fed her some life-saving herbs. She doesn't need to eat for two days. With Master Jin here, nothing can hurt Sister Yaya."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Well, let's go out and take a look."
Chen Jie felt that he should be able to protect Linglong.
He now has the strength of a dragon level, and his strength is not weaker than that of an ordinary elder. Moreover, Linglong does not seem to be weak either. He has himself outside, and Linglong is familiar with the terrain here.
Not to mention that no one knows about it.
At least there's a way out even if we're discovered.
Thinking about it, Chen Jie said, "Okay, let's go out and take a look together."
After the two of them made an agreement, Linglong packed up a little, then came to Mr. Jin and said, "Mr. Jin, I have to go out for a while, you stay here and look after the house."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jin looked up at Linglong.
Linglong said: "Mr. Jin, don't worry, he said he would protect me."
Linglong pointed at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie also nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Jin, I will protect her."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jin swam on the ground, and after a while he dived into the golden pool.
Linglong looked at Chen Jie and said, "You have taken the Dragon and Phoenix Pill, and your body has become resistant to the golden pool. We can go out now."
After saying that, Linglong dived directly into the golden pool.
Chen Jie was still in fear of the golden pool, so he tentatively reached his hand into the pool and found that the water was not as corrosive as before, except that it was a little cooler.
Chen Jie felt relieved.
Then he tentatively dived into the golden pool little by little.
Entering the Golden Pond, Chen Jie found that Mr. Jin was leading the way ahead, and in the process, Chen Jie discovered many big fish.
Chen Jie didn't expect that there would be other creatures in this golden pool. These big fish had sharp teeth and they wanted to attack when they saw Linglong and Chen Jie.
But when they saw Mr. Jin, they all ran away.
The two swam along the golden pool and soon saw a stone wall. On the stone wall was a cave that was big enough for the two to swim through. This cave was just big enough for Mr. Jin to swim in.
After swimming in, Grandpa Jin went into the cave.
Chen Jie and Linglong also turned around and entered the maze-like cave again.
When they got here, Linglong said, "This is called the Halloween Cave. It's where our people take refuge. Below is the habitat of the Gu God."
"Gu God?"
This was the second time Chen Jie heard this term. He looked at Linglong and asked, "What is Gu God?"
Linglong said: "Well, how should I put it? He should be considered as the descendant of Master Jin, but he was poisoned by someone and became stupid."
Chen Jie wanted to ask more, but Linglong was unwilling to say more. Chen Jie had no choice but to follow Linglong through the cave.
Chen Jie followed Linglong all the way and found that Linglong was as familiar with this place as his own back garden.
Chen Jie was able to see that this was a complete underground maze, with food and water storage areas, as well as ventilation holes. The hole that Zhao Ya and Chen Jie came in through was actually a ventilation hole.
It is used to ventilate the entire cave. If there is no ventilation, the people in the cave will easily suffocate to death.
Chen Jie and Linglong traveled for a long time and finally came to a cave entrance that was guarded by someone.
When Chen Jie looked over, he saw that there were two Miao soldiers guarding the place. There were two golden toads embroidered on their chests.
Linglong said: "It's from the Golden Toad Sect."
Chen Jie asked: "Is there any other exit?"
Linglong said: "This is the most remote location. I didn't expect it to be guarded. We can only go this way."
Chen Jie said: "I understand."
As he spoke, Chen Jie's body swayed, and in almost the blink of an eye he was behind the two Jinchanmen men, and then he used a knife to knock them both unconscious.
He waved to Linglong.
At this time Linglong walked out and came to the entrance of the cave. Chen Jie and Linglong went out and saw the outside. It was dark outside, and then they saw five areas divided in great detail with different colors.
Linglong said: "Come on, come this way."
As she spoke, Linglong led Chen Jie to a white area.
Then Linglong took Chen Jie and walked through many twists and turns to a white house in the middle.
At this time Linglong said: "Grandma Snake was the one who cared about me the most. When I was a child..."
Linglong talked about her childhood.
At this time, the old lady from the Snake Village said to someone, "Don't worry, tell the Saint that my Yin Snake clan will definitely support the Saint. As for Linglong, I also think she is not suitable to be the leader of the current generation."
After hearing this, the person who was talking to Granny Snake smiled and said, "Granny Snake is indeed a person who understands the greater good. Don't worry, the Holy Son said that as long as he can secure the position of this generation's leader."
"Then my mother-in-law's Yin Snake Sect is the first sect of the Five Poison Sect."
Granny Snake said, "Haha, OK, then I'd like to thank Mr. Zhang."
At this time, inside the house, sitting opposite the snake grandma was a young man in a black cloak. He was the guest think tank who was deeply loved by the Son of God.
Zhang Keqing raised his hand and said, "Mother Snake, you are too polite. By the way, mother-in-law, the Holy Son also said that if he wants to keep his position secure, then Saint Linglong must not show up in the Holy Church. And you are the person the Saint trusts the most. If she shows up in the Holy Church, she will definitely come to find you. I hope you can detain her then!"
Granny Snake said, "This... Linglong girl grew up under my watch!"
Zhang Keqing said, "Mother-in-law, the Yin Snake Sect has always been suppressed by the Jinchan Sect. I'm sure you don't want that. The Yin Snake Sect has become the leader of the five sects. This is what many generations of snake masters have wanted to see, and it will soon be realized in your hands."
"Does the mother-in-law want a little girl to ruin her good deeds?"
"And mother-in-law, we're just detaining her, not taking her life. What are you hesitating about?"
"But what if the Gu mother wakes up?"
Zhang Keqing smiled and said, "The Gu Mother is transforming into a silkworm, so it cannot be lost at all. If the Holy Son forgets to add medicine to the Gu Mother, I wonder if the Gu Mother will fail to transform into a silkworm!"
"Yeah! You guys..."
Granny Snake’s eyes suddenly widened.
Zhang Keqing said with a smile: "The Five Poison Sect will definitely get better and better under the leadership of the Holy Son. What do you think, Granny Snake?"
After hearing this, Granny Snake was silent for a long time and then said, "I know!"
Zhang Keqing said, "Then I will take my leave."
Zhang Keqing was about to leave, but at this moment a Yinshe Sect disciple suddenly ran in and said, "Elder, Saint Linglong wants to see you!"
Um! !
After hearing this, Grandma Snake and Zhang Keqing who was about to leave were all confused.
Throw yourself into a trap?
