煙香繚繞,充斥滿屋,煙味濃烈到讓人彷彿置身火災現場,所以小寶便被薰醒了。425Please respect copyright.PENANA1Oh3hwhaRY
425Please respect copyright.PENANAuhxJ3xEjE6
「我剛剛怎麼啦?」小寶昏昏沉沉的問:「喂!你幹嘛把我倒吊起來啊?」425Please respect copyright.PENANAcGbCszDbFe
425Please respect copyright.PENANAYisNi7DVRs
謝詺看著頭下腳上的小寶,說道:「你中毒了!」說完放下燒有藥草味的火盆。425Please respect copyright.PENANAAO4Zs9rCMd
425Please respect copyright.PENANAVPZtlyuSpp
小寶一聽中毒,第一聯想便是那名華麗裝束的客人,但兀自奇怪,道:「是那個客人下的毒嗎?我又沒有碰到他。我是怎麼中毒的啊?」425Please respect copyright.PENANAfKSSEMtNBY
425Please respect copyright.PENANATIMfIzUJYa
「門把!」謝詺簡易答道:「他在進門的時候就把『赤蛇卵』依附在門把上,你是下一個碰上門把的人,赤蛇卵自然藉由你的毛孔侵入體內。把你倒吊起來是不讓毒再深入,現在沒事了。」說著割斷固定小寶的繩子。425Please respect copyright.PENANAku6LI3DlYI
425Please respect copyright.PENANAuSa4VLW5QS
小寶撫著手腕,疑問道:「蛇卵有這麼小嗎?況且他怎麼知道我一定是下一個碰上門把的人?」425Please respect copyright.PENANAujppuyTNRo
425Please respect copyright.PENANAXV0WyukfsK
「『赤蛇卵』不是蛇卵,而是一種蠱卵,只要一定熱度便會孵化,人體就是最好的溫床。只要讓它在你胃裡孵化,過沒兩天就是上吐下瀉,再來就是胃遭穿孔而死。再說,他的目標也不是你,他的目標從來就不只有一個人……」聽得小寶冷汗直冒,如果剛剛沒有等在門外偷看,直接依言走人的話,血紅帽就真的不復存在。425Please respect copyright.PENANAdFPK842ooT
425Please respect copyright.PENANArLTbBNACg2
側頭撇眼,驚訝的望這眼前臉上表情毫無波動的雜貨店老闆,明明年僅25歲,卻彷彿瞬間歷經了四十年的滄桑。他到底是甚麼人?怎麼會知道這些一般人都不知道的事?425Please respect copyright.PENANAVMCamYAeE7
425Please respect copyright.PENANAG3nkIrXm7T
「那不就好家在我有回來!不然我就死掉咧!」小寶捏了一把冷汗,問道:「詺哥,你到底是誰啊?」425Please respect copyright.PENANANMLIgnZmPS
425Please respect copyright.PENANAVFBS3jB52D
謝詺嘆了一口氣道:「這要從百毒門的歷史開始說起,在凡爾莎政府成立之前,一位用毒高手看上百草山的草藥資源,於此開創百毒門,就是祖師爺<百毒聖王>,他暗自收徒,那大概是上兩代的事。所收的徒弟大概分成四門,一門專門死毒;一門擅長伏毒;一門專精幻毒,一種專攻解毒。」425Please respect copyright.PENANAvK6oroDUUN
425Please respect copyright.PENANACSpqiqQwrY
「甚麼擅長服毒?服毒就掛咧!」425Please respect copyright.PENANAzvkmC3E0s2
425Please respect copyright.PENANAF5lArwDvFj
謝詺微翻白眼,解釋道:「這是毒門術語,死毒,就是讓人中毒即死,多半用於戰爭,前朝末期動盪,政府曾經也跟擅長死毒的人合作,毒死敵人。伏毒,是埋伏在身體裡的毒,多半用於拷問或暗殺。幻毒,是讓目標產生幻覺,這用途比較廣,但多數跟操弄人心有關。解毒,不用我再解釋了吧……」425Please respect copyright.PENANAh0pFrpVRuF
425Please respect copyright.PENANAGAs2p8959o
小寶想不到一個毒門可以有這麼多啦哩拉紮的術語,問道:「然後呢?後來一定有發生事情吧?」425Please respect copyright.PENANAHHnuki2z1S
425Please respect copyright.PENANA8W1ozLwIcB
謝詺續道:「死、伏、幻三毒門人因為跟政府接觸甚密,知道太多秘密,引起政府忌憚,但要收拾一堆用毒高手也並不容易,所以政府才想出一套毒計……」425Please respect copyright.PENANAtXA8xFsMyz
425Please respect copyright.PENANAU0saLmrqx3
「傳言百毒聖王所發明的『百花香露丸』能解百毒,可避邪物,其配方流落江湖,這種神丹妙藥當然成為各毒門派覬覦的目標,開始毒門間的猜忌鬥爭。」謝詺說這話時,眼神流露出沉痛哀傷。425Please respect copyright.PENANAfzE58VCI9f
425Please respect copyright.PENANAn9mvkBDDyd
小寶一聽便知:「這都是政府放出的假消息,目的是讓毒門自己內鬨。事實上根本沒有甚麼百花香露丸。」425Please respect copyright.PENANArV127Zv1ZF
425Please respect copyright.PENANAAQORWsahEc
謝詺聽了他的猜測,微笑道:「不,其實有這東西……」425Please respect copyright.PENANAezNabfPxiE
425Please respect copyright.PENANAMpsd6Kui1Z
「蛤?」小寶一臉莫名驚訝425Please respect copyright.PENANA8OysehGxrG
425Please respect copyright.PENANAkef5nPFsge
「當年祖師爺看徒弟中,只有我的老師心懷慈善,便祕密將一身所學盡皆相授,更托予百花香露丸的配方,為了躲避各方追討,老師抹去原來的身分,到醫藥學校當教授,並暗自放出假消息,說配方流落江湖。政府只不過從中作手,惹得各門派互相殘殺,直到政局漸趨穩定,仇殺這才作罷。」425Please respect copyright.PENANAQIPe5v4Jj3
425Please respect copyright.PENANAmMyYp0Oc1g
小寶聽了哇的一聲道:「原來假消息是你老師放出來的!所以……剛剛那個客人就是其他毒門的囉?」425Please respect copyright.PENANAk6siUu9nXh
425Please respect copyright.PENANAmo8WiiqzkM
謝詺搖了搖頭,嘆道:「他叫姜源,是我師兄,本來懷抱濟世救民的夢想,只是……他性格偏激,五年前老師過世,無人管束,終至丕變……」語氣黯然,想來過往不堪。425Please respect copyright.PENANAbvdNubf0kQ
425Please respect copyright.PENANA2H59tX1oVx
小寶直切重點:「他找你想幹甚麼?」425Please respect copyright.PENANA2QIQMfyHeo
425Please respect copyright.PENANACvIEQxiw5A
「取回配方,重振毒門!」謝詺簡易回答425Please respect copyright.PENANAgyYcBT8Vwb
425Please respect copyright.PENANAsCLXw8Hky1
小寶天真的道:「那不好嗎?反正百花香露丸是解毒的,他也幹不了甚麼壞事,要重振就給他重振啊!」425Please respect copyright.PENANAXeEcdEeQgB
425Please respect copyright.PENANAC98NAlJI2d
謝詺橫他一眼,道:「客倌,為您舉個例子吧!」又是這句。425Please respect copyright.PENANAU5M55EtEa1
425Please respect copyright.PENANAR5nmA7A46m
「我拿刀保護銀行,跟我拿刀搶銀行,請問有一樣嗎?」425Please respect copyright.PENANAOIjZUO8Ypd
425Please respect copyright.PENANAYw0rxGaehk
「當然不一樣啊。」425Please respect copyright.PENANABauDk2B5qM
425Please respect copyright.PENANAQN1lYattO4
「那就對啦!百花香露丸本身有解毒功效,但只要錯誤使用,解藥也可以變成毒藥。如同刀可以護身,也可以傷人,是同樣的道理。老師就是看出師兄性格偏激,才對他處處提防,結果反而得到反效果。」靜默一陣,又道:「他是來找我的,這件事只有我這個師弟能解決。」425Please respect copyright.PENANALCxFkjNBjp
425Please respect copyright.PENANAYXrLheHRBr
小寶甚重義氣,毫不猶豫道:「你告訴我這些,一定有我可以幫忙的吧?」425Please respect copyright.PENANAvdi11tQ8px
425Please respect copyright.PENANAsC50hFgsDc
謝詺投以感謝理解的目光,道:「這幾天他一定會有動作,但確切是甚麼我並不知道,我想請你幫忙調查他的行蹤。只是這件事可能……」425Please respect copyright.PENANAxKVXnZME7W
425Please respect copyright.PENANAkkPTC3iRpk
多歷人事的小寶自看得出他的顧慮,搶下話頭:「如果你要說錢的問題,就不用說了,以後我要免費喝你的金露茶!」425Please respect copyright.PENANA6RDq4JZxQy
425Please respect copyright.PENANAKmojX5xt4B
謝詺臉露微笑,感念他義氣深重,豪邁道:「以後你們任俠協會所有的茶葉都由我來提供。」兩名差了十二歲的忘年交,互相擊掌,彼此心意,不言而宣。425Please respect copyright.PENANADR2yh0Gxzh
425Please respect copyright.PENANA2WJlTMk1N3
天色向晚,夕陽揮灑上玻璃窗櫺,造成美麗折射,謝詺送小寶出了店門,再三提醒:「我師兄毒術高超,你調查他千萬小心,不可跟他有所接觸,只要知道他確切位置在哪裡就好了。」425Please respect copyright.PENANAPZYpHxYTtb
425Please respect copyright.PENANAWEt1qxRw0C

鐵捲門拉下時已然天黑,謝詺從櫃檯背後的土色木箱中拿出一本書,挑燈夜讀,書上寫著密密麻麻的藥品註解,看起來像是在臨時抱佛腳,但他的表情絕不是臨時抱佛腳的緊張神情,那是傷感略帶悔恨的表情。彷彿這一切是由眼前這本書開始,也必然由這本書作為結束……425Please respect copyright.PENANAFKHedeiVr0
