Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 249 Poison

Tang Wulin suppressed his surprise and continued to read.

As expected, this book talks about knowledge about medicinal herbs, but it also talks about knowledge about poisons.

The more Tang Wulin read, the more complicated his mood became. After browsing through it roughly, he put the book down and sighed.

Seeing that he seemed to be in a bad mood, Huo Yutong asked in surprise:

"What's wrong, Wulin? I think the knowledge in this book is quite useful."

Tang Wulin shook his head slightly.

"I didn't think it was bad, it was because it was so good that I felt sorry for Teacher Xiaoya."

"Teacher Xiaoya?" Huo Yutong thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "Oh, you think that with this book, Teacher Xiaoya wouldn't have to suffer so much, right?"

“That’s right.” Tang Wulin confirmed Huo Yutong’s guess with a complicated look in his eyes. “If the Medicine and Poison Scriptures had not been hidden and had been kept in the Tang Sect from the beginning, the Tang Sect would not have fallen to such a state even with the impact of soul guide technology, and Teacher Xiaoya and the others would not have to suffer so much.”

Judging from what he had just read in the book, if the book could be passed down, the Tang Sect might not be able to maintain its position as the number one sect on the continent like it did ten thousand years ago, but it could at least become a top pharmaceutical sect.

At least they wouldn't end up like they are now, with the whole family being exterminated. If Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong hadn't joined, there might still be only two of them until now.

Hearing him say this, Youyou interrupted:

"Alas, Son of Nature, that is wrong. Just like what is said in this book, poison is extremely lethal if used properly. It is a means of evil. If it falls into the hands of a vicious person, it will probably cause great loss of life. That person is only thinking about the common people in the world."

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment, his expression somewhat speechless.

"What are you talking about? Since when did killing people have to be divided into good and evil? Killing with ordinary weapons is killing, and killing with poison is also killing. You said that poison has strong lethality, so the lethality of the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells is not strong? I haven't seen the Sun-Moon Empire seal the technology of fixed-type soul guide shells."

"Um... fixed-type soul guide shells? Sun and Moon Empire?"

It was a mess.

The Green Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers formation outside the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire has gradually become stronger with the passage of time. The last time someone came here was thousands of years ago. Later, as the power of the poison formation became stronger and stronger, no one has come here since then, at least not after the Sun Moon Empire and Douluo Continent collided.

Therefore, she couldn't understand the topic of soul guides and the Sun-Moon Empire at all.

Tang Wulin saw that she didn't understand, so he could only sigh and say:
"There is no good or evil way to kill people. No matter how noble your reasons are, weapons are created to kill people. From this perspective, poison, which can be used to develop medicine, is even milder than other ways to kill people."

"How is that possible? How can poison be milder than other methods of killing?"

Youyou retorted subconsciously.

She didn't understand the topic of the Sun-Moon Empire and soul guides, but she didn't think the poison was mild at all, because dying from poison would be very painful.

Tang Wulin's mouth twitched.

This Dahua is a bit stupid. "Didn't I say that I was only looking at it from this perspective? Killing or torturing people can be done in other ways, but from what I just read in this book, poison can save people if used correctly, but can you kill someone with a single cut?"

"This, this, this..."

Youyou was speechless.

Tang Wulin didn't want to hear any more of her nonsense, so he concluded:
"In short, poison is just a weapon after all, and no matter what kind of weapon it is, it is neither good nor evil. It has no will of its own, and it all depends on the will of the user. We cannot ignore weapons just because they are dangerous. This is nothing more than covering one's ears and stealing the bell, which will hinder the development of society."

"..."

Youyou was completely speechless.

Seeing Youyou shut up, Tang Wulin looked at the colorful poisonous fog in the sky and continued:
"And what makes me even more depressed is that Ancestor Tang San never thought of revealing the information of this place to the Tang Sect. If Teacher Xiaoya knew about this, I don't know what she would think."

Youyou, who had been feeling listless, now became energetic again.

"You really misunderstood that person this time. He specifically emphasized that this book can only be given to the descendants of the Tang Sect. If the other party is not a descendant of the Tang Sect and is unwilling to join the Tang Sect, then even if he passes the test, he cannot be given this book."

Tang Wulin looked at her in surprise.

"Is there such a thing? Then why didn't you stop me from watching? Didn't you know that I was a member of the Tang Sect?"

"Well... hehehe, isn't it because you are a child of nature..."

Youyou smiled embarrassedly.

Other plants have shown their performance, so she has to show her performance as well to leave a good impression on Tang Wulin.

It was only later when Tang Wulin himself spoke that she found out that he was a disciple of the Tang Sect.

When Tang Wulin learned of her little thoughts, he couldn't help but be speechless.

"Don't worry, I will take you away. And about what you just said, don't you think the logic is a bit weird? Since he stipulated that only Tang Sect disciples who passed the test can read it, why didn't he keep it in Tang Sect from the beginning? Isn't this behavior purely unnecessary?"

Tang Wulin could actually understand why Tang San didn't want people from other forces to see the Medicine Sutra and the Poison Sutra. After all, these were the core secrets of the Tang Sect, so it was normal that he didn't want others to know about them.

But isn’t it too outrageous to hide this even from the people of Tang Sect?

This is Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong coming here by chance, but what if they didn't come? As time goes by, the Green Phosphorus Seven Absolutes Flower Poison Formation in the outside world will sooner or later evolve into a complete life forbidden zone. By then, no one will be able to find the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, and the Tang Sect's Medicine and Poison Classics will be completely lost.

Since he was willing to let the Tang Sect disciples who passed the test read it, it meant that he did not completely think that this thing could not be seen by the world. Then why did he go to such great lengths? Couldn't he just let the Tang Sect conduct the assessment directly?
Even though he didn't trust the descendants of the Tang Clan and thought there might be a situation of nepotism, based on what Tang Wulin had come into contact with so far, these magical herbs were not good things either. As soon as his identity as the Son of Nature was revealed, these guys rushed to help him cheat, fearing that they would leave a bad impression on him and that he would not take them with him when he left.

It can be said that from a logical point of view, Tang Wulin really couldn't figure out the meaning of Tang San's doing this. After thinking for a long time, Tang Wulin could only come to one conclusion:
Tang San, the founder of the Tang Sect ten thousand years ago, might have some problems with his brain.

Digression
Poison is essentially the same as necromancy. It can really scare people, and it can be terrible if it falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives. But this does not mean we can directly deny the meaning of its existence and say that it is evil.
