A cunning glint flashed in his eyes, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the big tree and reached out to pull out the Embroidered Spring Blade.
When Wei Yixiao saw this, he cursed the foreign monk for being shameless.
He rushed forward immediately, trying to stop the Tibetan monk.
Suddenly, the Tibetan monk turned around, raised his right hand, and a cloud of white ash rushed towards Wei Yixiao.
Wei Yixiao felt an itch in his nose, and suddenly his whole body went weak and he collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud.
The Tibetan monk ignored Wei Yixiao and turned to pull out the embroidered spring knife stuck in the tree.
Seeing Wei Yixiao knocked unconscious by the Tibetan monks, Li Yao became even more certain that these monks were from the Prince of Ruyang's mansion.
Wei Yixiao must have been poisoned by the Ten Fragrant Softening Powder.
At this moment, the three Tibetan monks who were fighting him also raised their right hands, and three streams of white ash rushed towards him.
He dodged the three streaks of white dust with a swift movement.
However, he felt an itch in his nose.
Clearly, the three Tibetan monks had sprinkled the Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder.
However, he was still full of energy and with a bang, he knocked another Tibetan monk away.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he flashed to the fire, kicking the Tibetan monk who was about to fall from the sky, sending him flying three zhang away.
Li Yao looked at the nearly cooked fat rabbit and said, "You almost ruined this fat rabbit of mine."
The remaining two Tibetan monks were shocked. They exchanged a glance and both saw doubt in each other's eyes.
How come Li Yao wasn't poisoned?
They didn't care about anything else anymore, and immediately split into two groups, running off at breakneck speed.
Li Yao swiftly stepped forward and chased after one of the Tibetan monks.
Soon, the Tibetan monk was less than three zhang away from him.
He unleashed a powerful palm strike.
A sharp palm strike suddenly erupted, hitting the Tibetan monk in the back.
Instantly, the monk's robe was torn to shreds as if hit by a cannonball.
The monk had a horribly gruesome bloody handprint on his back.
With a thud, the Tibetan monk collapsed and died.
Li Yao turned around and chased after another fleeing Tibetan monk.
Just when the monk thought he had escaped, his vision suddenly blurred, and he felt a figure suddenly appear before him.
He was so frightened that he turned around and ran away immediately.
Li Yao threw a punch, smashing the Tibetan monk's head open.
When he returned to the same spot, he found that the Tibetan monk who had drawn his sword was smashing down the tree with a single palm strike.
The Embroidered Spring Blade fell to the ground with a thud.
"ah……"
The Tibetan monk let out a scream.
The embroidered spring knife struck the Tibetan monk's feet squarely.
The embroidered spring knife was like a mountain, firmly pressing down on the monk's feet.
The Tibetan monk exerted all his strength and finally managed to pull his feet out.
However, his feet were already crushed and mangled.
Li Yao walked over calmly and picked up the Embroidered Spring Knife with ease.
The Tibetan monk was dumbfounded.
Li Yao held the embroidered spring knife to the Tibetan monk's neck and said sternly, "Take out the antidote for the Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder."
Since these Tibetan monks sprinkled poison from the sky without worrying about being poisoned, it means they had taken the antidote beforehand, so they should still have the antidote on them.
The Tibetan monk hesitated for a moment, then rummaged in his robes for a while.
Suddenly, he pulled out a blue porcelain bottle with his right hand, uncorked it, and was about to pour it into his mouth.
Li Yao reacted swiftly, wielding his embroidered spring knife and slicing off the Tibetan monk's right arm.
The blue porcelain bottle rolled to the ground along with the monk's arm, spilling powder from inside.
Chapter 103 The Tomb of the Living Dead at the Foot of Zhongnan Mountain
Li Yao picked up the blue porcelain bottle, sniffed it, but couldn't detect any smell.
Because the poison and antidote of Shixiang Ruanjin San look exactly the same and are both odorless.
He wasn't sure if the powder in the porcelain bottle was the antidote.
Because he possesses the true energy of the Great Dao within his body, neither poison nor sleeping potion has any effect on him.
Therefore, he was not poisoned by the Ten Fragrant Softening Powder before.
This shows that his Daoist True Qi is far more powerful than Zhang Wuji's Nine Yang True Qi.
In the original novel, Zhang Wuji was accidentally poisoned by the Ten Fragrant Softening Powder on Ling Snake Island.
Of course, the Nine Yang True Qi is also extremely powerful.
Later, Zhang Wuji easily neutralized the poison of the Ten Fragrant Softening Powder by simply circulating his Nine Yang True Qi.
Just as Li Yao was lost in thought, he suddenly caught a glimpse of cunning in the Tibetan monk's eyes.
Li Yao immediately understood that the blue porcelain bottle contained poison.
This Tibetan monk was incredibly cunning. He deliberately pretended to swallow the powder in the blue porcelain bottle, making Li Yao mistakenly believe that it contained the antidote.
The Tibetan monks had taken the antidote, so even if they ingested the poison, they would be fine.
Now that Li Yaozhen has given the powder from the blue porcelain bottle to Wei Yixiao, I'm afraid Wei Yixiao will die from the poison on the spot.
Because the Ten Fragrant Softening Powder is extremely potent, if the poisoned person takes another dose of poison, they will immediately die.
That cunning Tibetan monk!
Without hesitation, Li Yao punched the Tibetan monk in the head, and the monk's head immediately split open.
Subsequently, Li Yao searched the bodies of several Tibetan monks and found several porcelain bottles.
There are blue porcelain bottles and red porcelain bottles.
Li Yao was unsure which bottle contained the antidote and which contained the poison.
So he put away all the porcelain bottles and decided to use his Daoist Qi to neutralize the poison of Wei Yixiao's Ten Fragrant Tendon-Softening Powder.
After a short while, under the guidance of Li Yao's Daoist Qi, the poison in Wei Yixiao's body gradually dissipated.
Wei Yixiao also felt his strength gradually returning.
After Li Yao withdrew his palm, he stood up and smiled at Wei Yi, saying, "Try it and see if your internal energy has recovered."
Wei Yixiao nodded, walked to a tree, then focused his energy in his dantian and struck the tree with his palm.
With a cracking sound, the tree fell to the ground.
Wei Yixiao was overjoyed and said, "Master, my internal energy has been fully restored. Thank you, Master."
At this moment, Li Yao was already squatting in front of the fire, placing the large, fat rabbit on the fire to continue roasting it.
Soon, the aroma of meat filled the air.
Wei Yixiao glanced at the Tibetan monk's corpse on the ground and asked, "Master, were they all from the Prince of Ruyang's mansion?"
Li Yao nodded and said, "That's probably true. I don't think they'll let it go so easily. You need to be careful in the future and don't fall into their trap again."
As he spoke, he pointed to several porcelain bottles beside him and continued, "If you have the chance, find someone with internal energy to test which bottle contains the antidote and which contains the poison."
"Yes, Master!"
Wei Yixiao quickly put the porcelain bottles into his bundle.
After Li Yao and his companion finished off the large, fat rabbit, they continued their journey southeast.
The two then traveled smoothly without encountering any further ambushes.
Upon arriving in Chang'an, the two found an inn to stay in.
Li Yao smiled at Wei Yi and said, "I'm going to Zhongnan Mountain to take care of some private business. You wait for me here. Be careful not to let the people from the Prince of Ruyang's mansion plot against you."
Wei Yixiao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Master. If I fall into their trap again, I'd rather die."
×××
Zhongnan Mountain, also known as Nanshan, is known as "the most blessed land under heaven".
The idioms "May you live as long as Mount Nan" and "The shortcut to Zhongnan Mountain" originated from this.
Since ancient times, this place has been a retreat for famous figures and hermits.
The Zhongnan Mountains have a rugged terrain and treacherous roads. There are five large valleys and more than a hundred smaller ones, stretching for hundreds of miles, earning them the reputation of being "the most dangerous place in China".
At this moment, Li Yao was standing at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.
"We've finally arrived at Zhongnan Mountain!"
Li Yao looked up at the mountain and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Of course, his goal today is not Zhongnan Mountain, but the Tomb of the Living Dead at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.
The woman in yellow, a descendant of Yang Guo, now lives in seclusion in the Tomb of the Living Dead.
Li Yao came to find the woman in yellow because he wanted to obtain the complete version of the "Nine Yin Manual".
In the original novel, the woman in yellow used the authentic Nine Yin Divine Claw [Nine Yin White Bone Claw] at the Shaolin Assembly, but this skill was not mentioned in the Chongyang Relics in the Tomb of the Living Dead.
Therefore, it can be seen that the woman in yellow was practicing the complete "Nine Yin Manual".
