Chapter 377
Tao Guan'er brought Zhao Shun's four hidden guards to the dark market early in the morning, and after guarding for a whole day, he finally found the trace of the Taoist chief.

He was wearing a Taoist robe, and he didn't hold a dust whisk in his hand. Although his hair was gray, his eyes were still piercing.

"Master!"

Tao Guan'er yelled, and immediately ran forward. After less than ten steps, she suddenly lost feeling in her legs and fell directly on the ground.

A few guards behind him also rushed over, and they all fell to the ground after a while.

The Taoist priest of Zhongxing kept his hands behind his back and didn't even turn his head.

"Uncle, I'm Zhu Taoguan, don't you know me? Uncle! Uncle!"

Tao Guan'er had no choice but to shout at the top of his voice, but the Taoist chief of the middle line ignored him and left the dark market straight away.

"Tao Guan'er, what's wrong with us?" A hidden guard asked.

"Poison ice needle, don't worry, it will be fine in a while."

Tao Guan'er gritted his teeth, he didn't expect Master Zhongxing to have such a kung fu that he could shoot out the poisonous ice needle unconsciously.

If it is said that his internal strength is poor, and he is not able to respond in time, it is okay to say, but these four hidden guards are all top-notch masters, and they didn't even notice it.

After about half an hour, their legs gradually recovered and they stood up.

Tao Guan'er looked at a few people, and said: "The Taoist priest of the Bank may not like crowds, you go back first, I will go by myself."

"Yes."

After the four hidden guards left, Tao Guan'er followed the path that the Taoist chief had left. After searching for a long time, until it was dark, he found a remote residence behind a mountain forest.

The Taoist priest of Zhongxing finished his meal and began to study the elixir. After about an hour, when he was about to rest, the door of the room was knocked on the wall.

He frowned and didn't speak, Tao Guan'er shouted outside the door: "Uncle Zhongxing, it's me, I'm Tao Guan'er, can you open the door?"

The Taoist priest in the middle sighed and opened the door.

"You boy, what do you want to do with your uncle?"

"Master, the mother of our concubine was poisoned by the poison you developed, and I ask you to help detoxify her."

Tao Guan'er was trembling all over, his lips were purple, the Taoist priest handed him a elixir, "Thanks for being able to walk to the door, it seems that you have made some progress over the years, you should take this elixir first , otherwise my life will be in danger."

"Thank you, uncle."

Tao Guan'er took the elixir and put it in his mouth, said: "Master, the poisons you raise around are so powerful, my nephew almost won't be able to see you alive."

The Daoist of Zhongxing snorted softly and said, "Okay, you can go."

"Oh? Uncle! Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You can't just ignore death!" Tao Guan'er said.

"If this Dao believes in this, will it still be called the Poison Immortal?" the Taoist priest of Zhongxing said coldly.

"Uncle, Uncle, don't worry, it's the kind of poison you made that can make people unconscious all the time, can you give me the antidote, I'll just take it home myself." Tao Guaner said.

Daoist Zhong Xing stroked his beard, "So what you said is this, the poison of eternal sleep, there is no cure."

"what?"

Tao Guan'er was a little shocked, wondering if the uncle was bluffing him, and asked: "Uncle, is it true?"

"Of course." The Taoist priest replied calmly.

"But...then why did the uncle make such a poison in the first place?" Tao Guan'er asked again.

"This poison is actually a kind of fake death medicine. If a person is on the verge of death, if he takes this medicine, he can keep his current state. If he takes care of it properly, he can survive for more than ten years. I have been researching this medicine recently. How to solve it. If there is an antidote, then a dying person will have enough time to rescue him, do you understand?" the Taoist priest explained.

Tao Guan'er frowned, and said: "Master, since there is no cure for this medicine, why are you selling it?"

"If you ask for it, you will sell it. Your uncle and I will need some funds to develop the elixir, right? You kid, it's enough to take care of yourself, and you have to help others." The Taoist priest of Zhongxing was a little disdainful.

"Uncle, for the sake of Tao Guan'er's late master, please come with you! No matter what, I have to see the patient before talking."

Saying that, Tao Guan'er knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to the Taoist priest of Zhongxing.

"You brat, the first time you kowtow to your uncle is for someone else! Hmph!"

The Taoist priest of Zhongxing turned around with a displeased expression on his face.

"Uncle, my nephew has never seen you since the master passed away... At that time, when I was still young, the master left, and the uncle also left me without a trace, so I could only live on the street... ...I also found a place to live with great difficulty. Now I met our princess, she treated me like a brother and sister, and asked my uncle to help save our princess's mother. Our princess is the richest man in the dynasty, don't say It's 2 taels, even if it's a million taels, the concubine can afford it. In the future, Tao Guan'er will come to see you often and show filial piety to you."

Tao Guan'er choked up several times, then continued to salute and kowtow.

The Taoist priest of Zhongxing turned around, looked at him and sighed, "Forget it, it's getting late today, you can rest here with me, and I will accompany you for a walk tomorrow morning. But the ugly words are ahead, I But I can’t guarantee that the poison of eternal sleep will be cured.”

"Thank you uncle!"

Tao Guan'er entered the door, looking at the leftovers on the table, she couldn't help drooling, and said with a smile: "Master, I cleaned up the table for you!"

"Ah."

A quarter of an hour later, Tao Guan'er came to the side of Daoist Zhongxing again, looking very curious at the elixir he had developed.

"Uncle, where did you get the poison of eternal sleep?" Tao Guan'er asked.

"It's nothing, it's just a kind of intractable snake venom mixed with some poisonous weeds. Sometimes, the seemingly complicated poison is actually the simplest." The Taoist priest said.

Tao Guan'er nodded, "Uncle, my master once said that if there is a poison, there must be a solution. Is this true?"

"Your master is just farting!" The Taoist Master Zhongxing disdainfully said, "He only has some superficial knowledge, so he dares to talk big! You can't imitate your master, one bottle is not full, and half of the bottle is shaking around. And your brother from the same school , but just read a few more medical books, to dare to call himself a miracle doctor and live in seclusion in Luoping, it is too crazy!"

"Ah... Uncle, are you talking about Taoist Master Xiu Yuan?" Tao Guan'er scratched his cheek, "I remember you used to brag everywhere, saying that Taoist Master Xiu Yuan has your true biography."

"That guy Jiang Zhenian said it himself? I never said it." The Taoist priest refused to admit it.

"Master, why did you and Brother Jiang part ways?" Tao Guan'er asked again.

"Let me tell you, Jiang Zhenian is a stinky dung beetle who fell into a cesspit. He just fell in love with a short-lived ghost and got entangled with the eldest princess! No, he left your uncle and left in a hurry ? That bastard, if I see him again, I will definitely twist his head off and see what's inside!" said the Taoist priest bitterly.
