Tang riddles

In the artificial sea of ​​Xiyuan, where only some fish, shrimps, turtles and algae should live, for some reason, a huge aquatic four-legged snake appeared.Such a strange thing quickly spread among the forbidden army.Even though the gag order was issued, the news still leaked out.So much so that many eunuchs in the palace already knew about this matter.

The theft of the Holy Grail and the bizarre death of the team have already made Xiyuan a place to talk about discoloration. Now that there are water monsters in Xiyuan, it is even more terrifying. What's more, I feel that Xiyuan may have been corrupted. Feng Shui is not correct, resulting in frequent occurrence of strange things.

Shen Sui, Li Jinyue, Wang Zhongsi and the others have no control over how the outside world will spread it.They needed to bathe, change clothes, and rest, so Li Jinyue just sent someone to report the progress to the saint on their behalf, while they hurried back to the mansion.

Wang Zhongsi disagreed, and soon parted ways with Li Jinyue and the others.He originally wanted to follow Shen Sui to check on Shen Sui's situation, but Li Jinyue forced him away.This young man in his twenties looked very depressed. At this moment, besides regret, he had a little more admiration and gratitude for Shen Sui.

Ever since Shen Sui subdued that monster, his expression has been not very good-looking.He didn't speak, just sat in his car in silence.When Hu Tuo picked her up, he felt something was wrong with Da Lang.Her footsteps were sloppy, and when she got into the car, she couldn't grasp her balance for a while, and she almost fell down. Fortunately, she was saved by myself.Hu Tuo couldn't help being a little bit concerned, while driving in front of the car, he was always paying attention to the situation in the car behind.

Li Jinyue's car was in front of Shen Sui's car, she was worried about Shen Sui, and personally sent her all the way back to the residence.

"Where are you going...Where is this going?" Shen Sui, who was sitting in the car, suddenly made a sound when she was walking near Chengfufang. Her voice was weak and full of confusion.

"Da Lang?" Hu Tuo turned his head to look into the carriage, he deliberately did not put down the curtain, so he could see Shen Sui inside the carriage as soon as he turned his head.

"Where are you going? Where are you going?" Shen Sui kept asking, she stretched out her hand in hesitation, and grabbed the car curtain.Get up and jump out of the car through the window.

Hu Tuo was so taken aback that he didn't even have time to rein in his horse in an emergency, so he threw himself backwards, grabbed Shen Sui's belt, and pulled her back.

"Monster, let me go! Let me go!!" Shen Sui actually wrestled with Hutuo, as if he had forgotten his kung fu, and pulled at Hutuo's body like a mad woman fighting with someone without any rules. Hair, screaming loudly.

"Da Lang! Ouch!" Shen Sui grabbed Hu Tuo's hair and pulled him hard, feeling that his scalp was going to be lifted, tears flowed from the pain.Hu Tuo was originally from the Western Regions, his hair accessories were different from those in the Central Plains, he only tied half of his hair, and a lot of it was loose behind the ears, braided into short braids and tied up, so it was easier for Shen Sui to grasp.But he didn't dare to fight Shen Sui, so he could only restrain her arm, and raised his head in the direction of her exertion.As soon as he raised his head, he immediately bumped into Shen Sui's eyes, Hutuo was taken aback again, he saw Dalang's eyes were bloodshot, his pupils shrunk, slender like vertical needles, looking like snake eyes, extremely terrifying .Her expression was confused, mixed with fear, her complexion was livid, the veins on her face were bulging, and her expression was terrifying.

At that time, without Hutuo's driving control, the horse was startled again by Shen Sui's scream, and led the carriage to accelerate forward suddenly.Ma'er panicked and didn't choose the way. Seeing Li Jinyue's carriage blocking the way ahead, he made a detour and fled to the right.But he didn't take into account the distance between the cart behind him and Li Jinyue's carriage.With a flick of the car, it bumped into Li Jinyue's carriage, and passed Li Jinyue's carriage to the front.

With this collision, Shen Sui and Hu Tuo were immediately thrown onto the side wall of the carriage, making them dizzy.And Li Jinyue, who was in the other carriage, was slammed into this without warning, and couldn't react in time. She slammed her head hard on the edge of the window, and blood flowed from her forehead immediately.

"Da Lang! Da Lang, you're crazy!" Hu Tuo yelled, and couldn't care about anything else, he quickly threw off Shen Sui and wanted to pull the reins to control the carriage.

Shen Sui was thrown away by him, but wanted to jump out of the car window again.Poor Hutuo had no choice but to grab Shen Sui's belt with one hand and reach for the reins with the other.There was a stalemate between the two phases.

From behind, Li Jinyue had already loudly ordered the coachman to catch up with the whip, she ignored the bleeding on her forehead, leaned out from the carriage, and shouted forward:

"Shen Bozhao! Hutuo! What are you doing?! Stop!"

Hutuo shouted: "I want to stop too! Dalang is crazy!"

"What?!" Li Jinyue was extremely astonished, thinking of Shen Sui's abnormal demeanor and behavior along the way, she suddenly wondered, maybe she was poisoned by the beast in the lake?

It was dusk, the evening drum had already sounded three times, and there were almost no people on the street.Thanks to this, their carriages ran wildly and chaotically on the deserted streets, and no one was hurt yet.

Shen Sui seemed to have lost her mind, and kept trying to jump out of the car. Although she forgot that she knew how to kung fu, she still had all the strength and muscles, and twisted her whole body with brute strength, trying to break free from the shackles of Hutuo.Hu Tuo struggled to pull her, and tried hard to control the carriage, which was really powerless.

"Lotus maid! I want to find lotus maid!" Shen Sui shouted, "Monster, I will kill you!"

Shen Sui didn't know what he saw in the chaos, so he regarded Hutuo as a monster.She shouted to find the lotus maid, as if the lotus maid was in some danger and was waiting for her to rescue her.In the hallucination, her eyes were already reddened, her relatives did not recognize her, and she only took Hutuo as a stumbling block, but she grabbed the machete pinned to Hutuo's waist, pulled it out, and was about to stab Hutuo in the back.

"Stop!" In an extremely critical moment, a person suddenly flashed out from the side road, leaped onto the front of the carriage as fast as lightning, got into the carriage, knocked out the scimitar in Shen Sui's hand with one palm, Immediately, Shen Sui was restrained in the carriage with his hands cut behind his back, and the other hand pinched the sleeping point on the back of Shen Sui's neck, and pressed his fingers down, and Shen Sui's eyes gradually rolled out of the whites, and he fainted.

At the same time, Hutuo didn't care about other things, and rushed to grab the reins, finally controlled the carriage and stopped it.He panted heavily, and in just a few ups and downs, he was already sweating through the back of his clothes, slumped on the shaft of the carriage, his scalp was tight, and he couldn't speak a word.

Li Jinyue's carriage arrived from behind, and she stumbled down from the carriage with her face covered in blood. She threw off the driver who wanted to help her, and caught up with her in a few steps, screaming:

"Bo Zhao! Bo Zhao, you are injured!!"

But as soon as he got to the side of the car, he saw a tall figure getting out of the car. He was in his thirties and his stature was at least six feet (about 190 centimeters). In the slightly muggy weather, A gown with cross collar and large sleeves, the cuffs are tied up with a belt, and the neckline is open to the waist and abdomen, revealing the dark and lean muscles inside, with a beautiful beard and chest, and a black headband.A very beautiful blue long sword is hung on the belt tied around his waist.A pair of captivating peach blossom eyes, but the eyes are very straightforward and pure.The face is square and resolute, with sharp edges and corners.

Li Jinyue secretly praised in her heart: What a handsome man!Seeing this person jump out of the car, he bowed to Li Jinyue and said:

"The last general, Pei Min, has met the princess and the governor."

"Pei Min? It's General Pei of the Beiping Army!" Li Jinyue said hastily.

"It's Pei Min's luck that the last general's nickname is in the ears of the princess." The handsome man said like a breeze.

"General Pei is too polite. Jinyue has heard for a long time that the general's swordsmanship is superb, and no one can match it. Today can be regarded as insight."

Pei Min just shook his head and said:

"Let's talk about gossip later, princess, it's important to save people."

Li Jinyue nodded, and hurriedly got into the car to check Shen Bozhao's situation, seeing that Shen Sui had fainted and his face was frightening, she hurriedly said to Hutuo:

"Immediately send Bo Zhao back to the mansion, and let the twins get a diagnosis and treatment, and I will go find Mr. Zhao Shijun."

Hu Tuo didn't care about panting, and immediately followed his advice and drove towards Shen's residence.Li Jinyue watched the carriage leave, turned around to look at Pei Min, and realized that Pei Min was not alone. Behind him, a woman in Taoist robes was rushing towards here. The exclamation just now was not from Pei Min, but from This Taoist robe woman.

As soon as they met each other, Li Jinyue discovered that this Taoist robed woman was none other than Li Jilan who had a relationship with Luyun Tower during the Lantern Festival in Chang'an.

Li Jilan rushed forward, first called the head of the court, and greeted Li Jinyue, and then said:

"It was really dangerous just now, thanks to the presence of General Pei. I don't know what happened to Shen Sizhi?"

Li Jinyue shook her head: "It's a long story, the situation is urgent, Jinyue can only be rude, thank you two for saving me today, and there will be rewards in the future."

Pei Min nodded and said, "Princess, please go ahead."

Li Jilan took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, handed it to Li Jinyue and said:

"Princess, stop the bleeding, you are also injured."

She reminded Li Jin of her menstrual period, and suddenly felt severe pain and numbness on her forehead, dizziness and dizziness.She took the veil, wiped off the blood on her face, and applied it to the wound on her forehead to stop the bleeding. She was about to get into the carriage and asked the coachman to rush to Mr. Zhao's clinic.Li Jilan said:

"Princess is sick, why don't you let Ji Lan go with General Pei, so I can take care of you."

Li Jinyue looked at her, then at Pei Min, and saw that they were sincerely looking for help, she couldn't help being grateful, and said:

"Alright, today is really troublesome for both of you. Please follow Jinyue to the car."

The words were divided into two parts, let's say that Hu Tuo rushed Shen Sui back to Shen's mansion and entered the Wutou Gate, not caring about other things, he carried Shen Sui out of the carriage, rushed into the gate of the mansion, and shouted:

"Young lady! Young lady! Come and save me!"

Xie Niang was decocting medicine in the medicine hut in the back hall, when she heard Hutuo's screams, she hurriedly rushed out, and saw Shen Sui being held in Hutuo's arms, she didn't know anything about her.

"What's the matter!" She was shocked, and hurried forward, seeing her complexion, she couldn't say well, and hurriedly ordered:

"Hurry up and lie down on the couch!" While talking, he ran to his room to get his needle bag.

Hu Tuo hurriedly ran to the east dormitory with Shen Sui in his arms, when he passed the study on the way, he happened to bump into Zhang Ruohan and Wu Ya who heard the sound coming from the opposite corridor.Hu Tuo paused, feeling at a loss for what to do. Seeing Zhang Ruohan appearing, he really didn't know how to deal with it, so he just called out panickedly:

"Miss..."

Zhang Ruohan led Wuya through the veranda and walked forward, avoiding the cover of the pillars, and went down to the courtyard under the veranda. When she saw Shen Sui's appearance clearly, in a trance, Hu Tuo seemed to see Zhang Ruohan's figure shaking, but Stand strong.Wu Ya behind her subconsciously reached out to help her, but when she saw Sanniang standing still, she silently withdrew her hand.

"Don't wait for me, go!" Zhang Ruohan's voice was extremely suffocated, with a faint trill.Hu Tuo's heart was choked, he swallowed, and immediately strode towards the dormitory.Zhang Ruohan took a deep breath, and led Wu Ya to run all the way behind him.

Just as Hu Tuo settled Shen Sui on the couch, Zhang Ruohan had already arrived, and asked earnestly:

"What's wrong with her?" She put her hand on Shen Sui's inch.

Kuta just shook his head and said out of breath:

"I don't know either. Da Lang came back from Xiyuan with an abnormal expression all the way. On the way back, he suddenly went mad in the carriage and was subdued to faint."

Zhang Ruohan's lips were tightly pursed, her face was as pale as paper.

"What did she do in Xiyuan, what happened to her?" She asked again.

"I... don't know, I've been waiting outside the palace, and I haven't followed around. The princess should be more aware of what happened." Hutuo's heart was in a mess of anxiety, and he didn't care what to say or what to say. The whole scene at that time was told, "Da Lang, she seemed to have lost her mind, she kept calling my lady your small characters, and kept fighting with me as a monster. Our carriage almost had an accident. "

Zhang Ruohan's expression became more and more solemn, and she stopped asking. She was able to heal after a long illness, and with some superficial knowledge of medicine, she could also feel the pulse and massage.Looking at Shen Sui's complexion, one could tell that she had been poisoned, but with her medical skills, she couldn't tell what kind of poison it was.

I can only wait for the bride to come.

It was too late and then it was too late, Yanniang already ran in panting with the acupuncture bag, Zhang Ruohan, Hutuo and Wuya hurriedly made room for her.

She sat down, and immediately felt Shen Sui's pulse, and as soon as she pressed the inch with her hand, her complexion changed dramatically.Biting her lip, she cut carefully for a while, and without further delay, she immediately opened the needle bag, asked Zhang Ruohan and Wu Ya to help, untied Shen Sui's clothes, and gave her the needle.During this process, Hutuo retreated to the outer room and waited anxiously.

A quarter of an hour later, Tiao Niang sweated slightly on her forehead, finished the acupuncture, came to the outer room together with Zhang Ruohan and Wu Ya, and said to everyone with a solemn expression:

"Da Lang may have been poisoned by a very rare cardiotoxin. People who suffer from this poison will lose their minds, and their fear, desire, anger and other perceptions will be magnified dozens of times, resulting in hallucinations and crazy behavior. During the poisoning process, The blood vessels in the whole body will accelerate the turnover, gradually swell, and eventually the blood vessels in the whole body will burst and die. The source of this heart toxin is unknown. I am only temporarily protecting her heart veins. I must know where the source comes from before I can seek detoxification. The situation is urgent, and there is no delay."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Shen Jin and Lan Jie walking in with Li Jinyue and his party.Shen Jin lives in a single courtyard at the west end of Shen's mansion, which is far away from the east courtyard. He rushed over immediately after receiving the news, but on the way, he bumped into Li Jinyue hurriedly bringing a group of people into Shen's mansion. to.

Li Jinyue put a piece of gauze on her forehead, and there were traces of blood oozing, as soon as she entered the door, she said:

"It was poisoned by a rare four-legged snake!" As she spoke, she looked at Mr. Zhao Shijun beside her.

Zhao sent the gentleman to say:

"According to the princess' description, the old man guessed that it might be a kind of amphibious four-legged snake from the Peacock Sea [Note] in the Tocharo Kingdom in the Western Regions. , I have heard rumors that there are special snake witches in Tochara who use poisonous weeds to breed red-tailed lizards, so that their tails turn red and grow thorns, which are highly poisonous."

While speaking, he had already come to Shen Sui's couch, checked his face, felt his pulse, stroked his beard for a while, and said with a serious expression:

"It seems that the old man guessed right."

The author has something to say: [Note] The Peacock Sea, another name for the famous "Lop Nur", had not dried up in the Tang Dynasty.

In Tocharo Kingdom, the Indo-European race is the easternmost, and the earliest people settled in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.Tocharian is a general term for many ethnic groups, including Yuezhi (sounds like "gravy", yes you read that right, there are also "Yuezhi", it varies), Qiuci (sounds like "Qiuci" ”), Yanqi, Che (sound cohabitation) division, Loulan and other ethnic groups.

In addition, most lizards are non-venomous. There are only two kinds of venomous lizards found in the world, all of which live in North America, namely the blunt-tailed venomous lizard and the spider venomous lizard.

[Pei Min] There were three masters in the Tang Dynasty, namely Pei Min, the sword sage, Zhang Xu, the grass sage, and Li Bai, the poet fairy.Pei Min's swordsmanship ranks first, while Li Bai can only rank second.This handsome man was the number one swordsman in the world at that time.
