Chapter 61, Return to Dust

neither living nor dead;

The word "two words" about her private matter was so ambiguous in her throat that Zhou Tan understood what she was going to talk about as soon as she heard it.

He pushed He Lianyun with one hand, while sprinting towards the opposite direction from the snow.

Lu Chengzhi put a few stones on the bench, pointed casually, and said, "In the spring moon, there is actually Nanzhi grass mixed in. The person who poisoned you really hopes that you will lose face and die."

"How to say?" Zhou Tan sat down.

"Spring? Medicine emotion Gu, what you want is a dizzy lingering strength, but there is some Nanzhi grass mixed in here, but there is no way to relieve it. The mind is clear, but the body can..."

Lu Chengzhi said, "It's up to you."

"It sounds vicious..." Zhou Tan commented, without any movement on his face: "It's much more difficult to lose face when awake than to lose face when unconscious."

"Although the person who poisoned you is probably that one, but I really don't understand, what's the point of this to you?"

"Yeah..." Zhou Tan said: "I also want to know, what a boring thing, I want to see me go crazy and lose face."

"It just happens to be this grass..." Lu Chengzhi sneered and kept moving his hands: "It's very useful. The medicinal power of Nanzhi on your body has been worn away by others, and what's left is the spring garden of more than ten years." It’s been a month? Old wine, now only the taste is left, and it doesn’t have a big impact.”

Hanging your life with Nanzhi grass is indeed a very worthwhile method. Nanzhi grass can indeed wear down the potency of the poison, but it is taking the path of losing both sides. When one bundle of grass is used up, another bundle must be added immediately, and the price is still low. It's not low, it's just buying your life with money.

Zhou Tan understood what she meant, and let out a breath from his chest.

"Good fortune saves people?" Zhou Tan said with a smile, standing up: "It seems that it is right to go north. Have you tried anything? Is there any solution to the wind on his body?"

"I just found a way to escape death..." Lu Chengzhi frowned, and said uncertainly: "Unless it is absolutely necessary, I dare not use it."

"Okay..." Zhou Tan only said, "There is still time."

Although there was always anxiety in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. The wind and snow crushed the side tent on the east side, and the supply department was pulling a two-wheeled cart to re-set up the old long-lived wood.

The sky is a long strip of whiteness, and there is always some fishy smell in the wind. Zhou Tan shrugged his nose and carefully sniffed the smell wafting in the wind.

He Lianyun put the horse's bridle tightly on the stake, and he turned around the reins, turned his head to see Zhou Tan's expression, with a little bit of a smile: "What's wrong?"

"What smell..." Zhou Tan muttered, "It's so strong."

He has a sharp nose, so he can smell some messy smells, and he can smell the bubbling beef and mutton first.His stomach turned up a little sour, and he supported himself, only saying: "That's not right."

-

After noon, the stale smell became stronger, the air became stagnant, and the desolation brought by the snowfall was swept away. Everyone could smell the almost weird smell.

Lu Chengzhi stuck two grasses in his nostrils, raised his head and looked all the way, muttering angrily, "What, this smell."

The smell permeated the entire middle tent, and the kitchen hurriedly went to check the hoarded food, which was intact.

The stale smell is like a shadow, as if flowing down from Yanshan Mountain, Yanshan...

A scream suddenly sounded!

A war horse with a crooked head crashed directly into the camp from the gate, and sawdust shot everywhere with a muffled sound.

The already seriously injured head seemed to be hanging by a thread, and it flew directly to the snow ground with one blow, the bones rolled and there was not much blood.

The headless warhorse fell to the ground with a bang, its limbs shook a few times stiffly, and it became silent.A scattered piece of armor fell from the saddle, and there was blood on that piece of armor!

Someone went to pick apart the snow, trying to pick up the piece of iron that couldn't be seen.

"do not touch!"

Lu Chengzhi stood far away, and couldn't run to him immediately, so he could only yell.The fragments fell to the snow with a bang, poking out a small snow hole. The blood stains were like old marks, piled up in layers, and even rustling, a layer of reddish-brown debris fell.

"Is it poison?" Zhou Tan got up and asked her, looking through with a long stick.There is nothing to be seen on the nail plate, and the age is so long that it is impossible to tell what kind of standard it is.

"It's the epidemic..." Lu Chengzhi gritted his teeth and almost laughed angrily: "It's really poisonous."

The word "epidemic" was like a heavy hammer, directly smashing the stable atmosphere in the camp. Although there was no panic cry for the time being, everyone's face was covered with a layer of dignity.

If there is a major epidemic, life and death are hard to guarantee. If the iron soldiers from the north drive straight in, they will be powerless to parry.

The middle tent is the first pass through Yanshan Mountain, if it is defeated, I dare not imagine it.

The shadow of the epidemic is threatening, and it "complements each other" with the tide of pear blossoms, rolling up a frenzy under the Yanshan Pass.

Holding a lamp, Lu Chengzhi stared from one end of the tent to the other, looking at everyone's physical condition. The entire middle tent was still closed, and no one had bumped into anything.

But she pursed her lips, and her brows never relaxed, she just said: "Absolutely, it's more than that."

He Lianyun patted the top of Zhou Tan's hair, got on his horse, and went to the pass.The military defense at the pass has never been slack, and this morning it sent a daily mansion report, unless there is any sudden change, the pass is erect and closed, and no foreign objects should be allowed in.

Lu Chengzhi rode along with him, putting on a hood that covered his head.Zhou Tan didn't speak to the two of them, and went straight to the large tent in the center.

He also felt that there must be a backhand, but no one knew what kind of shocking backhand it would be.

Those in charge of money and people crowded in front of the door, and Yu Jintian's shoes flew halfway, and rushed up to greet him: "What happened?"

"From the north..." Zhou Tan asked, "Is there any other way to go south?"

"It is necessary to cross Yanshan Mountain..." Someone replied: "We are at the forefront, and if we go further, we will reach the mountain."

"Okay..." Zhou Tansong breathed a sigh of relief: "Wait for the news, people who have gone to the state capitals, don't go back, and don't go there again."

"Don't talk about it?" He suddenly remembered He Lianyun's words: "Go and take a look."

"Okay." Yu Jintian said, hastily went to find someone to check.

The roots of Yanshan Pass are intertwined, especially the many secret passages built under the mountain.Zhou Tan tilted down on the back of the chair, only to realize that his heart was palpitating.

His heart was about to jump out of his chest, he took a few deep breaths, and his fingertips were unconsciously entwined.

It's really terrible to have something to worry about, he smiled wryly.It's cool enough to be alone, live every day, don't take life seriously.

But for two people, the kite string is still tied to someone else's body, it really can't be achieved, which is worrying.

He withdrew his gaze and stared at the pattern on the desk case, still feeling so strange that his back went numb.

No matter in South County or Northland, war horses are precious things. Even if they are not fat and strong Hanhai war horses, the skeleton and coat color look good, so they must have been domesticated at a high price.

Zhou Tan caressed his chin that was soaked with water. There were too many living creatures that spread the disease, so why set aside a few expensive war horses from the accounts that could not make ends meet?

The goal is big, the cost is too much, and it is not worth it.If you change yourself, you will never use it in this situation.

There must be a follower, he repeated again, his fingertips deeply buried in the soft blanket.

Although it was cold, Zhou Tan was so hot that he couldn't sit still, but he poured a cup of tea and sat under the map without speaking, with a calm expression on his face.

Greeting and seeing off a few people, Bafeng Fudo talked a few words, and Yu Jintian came back quickly stepping on his shoes. He was anxious and didn't dare to go out at a speed that he had never seen in his life. He stepped on his feet chaotically, Left foot stumbling right foot came in.

Yu Jintian chattered for a while, then sat down and lowered his voice: "Is it difficult to deal with?"

"It's not yet known..." Zhou Tan said: "We are the one in the open, after all, it is difficult to guard against the hidden arrows."

Wang Ting's position is really a trick, it is under the Yanshan Pass, but there is no disguise, it is shining brightly, like a target.

It is often said in the army that the young and powerful guard the royal court, and the elderly who have nothing to do have to rush to Haizhou to retire to Haizhou.

Zhou Tan spread his pen and ink, went to Haizhou, wiped his palm on the soft blanket several times, Zhou Tan suddenly got up: "Where is that horse, I want to dissect the body."

The method of autopsy is almost useless in the Northland. In the sudden murders in the street, duels that hurt both sides, the murder weapon must be clearly inserted into the chest of the deceased. There are no bizarre cases that require an autopsy throughout the year. Wandering in other government offices.

Zhou Tan twisted a knife that looked like a thin piece of paper, and squatted in the open field by the stream head, looking down at the body of the war horse.

It was a tall brown horse with sticky fur and red and black under the skin.

The head was put aside by Zhou Tan, and the horse's eyes were covered with a layer of gloomy whiteness, but they were always wide open.Recalling the scene when it ran into the door, it was clearly on the verge of death.

It’s such a sinister thing again, neither living nor dead, you say it has returned to ashes, but it can still jump around and do things for people.

What are you doing?Zhou Tan thought silently, his hands kept moving, the sheepskin gloves were pulled up to the elbows, and the sleeves were tied up high.

He slipped the knife and gently peeled off a layer of skin on the horse.The internal organs, as far as the eye can see, are all black.

At first glance, it should be poison, but there is a layer of black floating on the rows of bones, which is not pure black, and the emerald green crystals are hidden in it, glowing with a transparent luster.

After staring at it for a long time and even a little dizzy, Zhou Tan changed his posture and continued to squat on the ground, peeling off the flesh, the strong smell of decay no longer had any sense of existence, and inside the internal organs, there was nothing to be smelled.

Zhou Tan stopped his hands and changed the iron clip with a longer handle, and the thin knife like a cicada's wing was thrown into the flames, making a crackling sound.
