Chapter 1: Turning stone into gold

Lin Xixue opened her eyes, holding a soft, slippery and sticky thing in her arms.

The foul-smelling, mold-filled air caused her to cough violently.

The cold and hard rocky ground beneath her body made her whole body's joints ache.

From time to time, painful moans could be heard in my ears.

Where is this?

I think about it, I had a heart attack on the plane to school, and then...

She compressed the carotid artery.

There is body temperature and pulse. Am I still alive?

She forced herself to calm down and examine her surroundings.

This is a huge cave. At a glance, you can't tell how many people are locked up there. There are a few white fluorites embedded in the surrounding rock walls.

With the faint white light of fluorite, Lin Xixue finally saw clearly what the thing in her hand was - a half-filled wotou filled with blood.

The moment she saw the bloody bun, memories flashed back in her mind.

But he just couldn't move.

"Chi la", the sound of clothes being torn was heard.

Then there was severe nausea and vomiting, and her internal organs seemed to be all mixed together. She opened her mouth and vomited out yellow-green bile.

Luo Si was shocked. The distance was too close and it was too late for him to dodge.

My name is Tong Yingzi, and I am the disciple of my master Hong Yanzi.

Why am I here? I can’t remember a heart attack on an airplane. What is this disease?

"Ah!!! My eyes!"

However, the stone fragments were blocked in the air.

Besides, how can I manage my little strength?

Besides giving away people's heads, what else can you do?

He stroked his beard and walked around Lin Xixue a few times, looking up and down as he went.

My predecessor's memory of the cave was very limited. I only knew that people often came to the cave to catch people, and they looked picky when they caught them. Their eyes were like picking fish in a basin at the market.

After all, she is a modern person. If she really allows this girl to be humiliated in front of her eyes, she may feel guilty for the rest of her life.

She doesn't want to kill anyone.

The former was just a twelve-year-old girl, and she had been severely malnourished after months of begging. How could she possibly win over a young and strong man? After two days in this cave, she still hadn't eaten a single drop of water or rice.

My vision began to darken, and there was intense tinnitus mixed with faint shouts.

Before he died, he held the half-eaten steamed bun tightly in his arms and refused to let go until it was soaked in blood.

The Taoist leaned down, inspected Luo Si's injuries, and sighed repeatedly.

She wanted to scream, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something.

She held her breath and continued to exert force. The huge reaction force caused the stone fragments to scratch the palm of her hand, and blood dripped down her wrist.

But she understood that the matter had come to this, if she didn't kill Luo Si, Luo Si would kill her.

Two buttons on the girl's front had been undone, but she still closed her eyes tightly and remained motionless.

Although people bring food every day, no one in this cave will give food to others. Only those with big fists have something to eat.

She bowed her body and stretched her hands forward as if she was going to lie on the ground. Halfway through, the gravel in her hand suddenly flew up and flew towards Luo Si's eyes.

He began to chant the incantation.

But although Lin Xixue had seen the memories of her predecessor, she still didn't know where this place was.

And those who were captured naturally never came back.

When he opened his eyes again, he was locked in this cave.

This man's name was Luo Si, and he was a well-known bully in the cave. Everyone would avoid him when they saw him.

He took down a glazed pot from the wooden stand. The yellow-brown mucus in the pot seemed to be alive, and it kept crawling upward along the wall of the pot, as if it was trying to break open the lid and escape.

But everyone stood still and had no intention of stopping him.

Hong Yanzi pulled out the stopper and poured the mucus on Lin Xixue's head.

So there really is magic in this world?

Although there are many stories about evil mountain spirits and strange powers in the memory of my predecessor, most of these are story-telling legends, and my predecessor has never seen them with my own eyes.

"The Xuanzong of Heaven and Earth has the root of all Qi. I have cultivated it for hundreds of millions of kalpas and proved my magical power. The three burners of the spleen and stomach, Qi can connect earth and stone, the five Qi can transform into life, and turn stone into gold!"

"The most important thing is that he dared to kill people at a young age and was merciless. He was very much like me back then."

The Taoist gently put Lin Xixue down, patted her shoulder with a smile, and said, "Watch carefully."

He opened Luo Si's mouth, and the boiling medicinal soup poured into his esophagus.

Luo Si casually threw the girl to the ground, but the girl still didn't make any reaction.

You have to find a way to escape.

"Hee, you are too much for my liking, so I'll accept you as my apprentice!"

"You can't kill it. What a fine piece of gold you can't kill it!"

After pouring a pot of medicine, Luo Si became silent again. He tilted his head to one side and stared at Lin Xixue with his blood-red eyes wide open.

Lin Xixue lowered her head, pretending to be frightened, but in fact the right hand holding the gravel in her sleeve was ready to go.

When the gravel got into his eyes, Luo Si immediately covered his eyes and fell to the ground, wiping them with his sleeves. However, the rubbing of the gravel actually cut his eyes, and dark red tears flowed all over his hands.

She does not feel that she is the Virgin, this is her basic moral code as a modern person.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xixue felt as if her body was firmly fixed to the space, unable to move at all.

"He has a good temperament and his reactions are smart."

She felt bitter in her heart. The world seemed more chaotic than she imagined.

The Taoist carried her around the cave and finally came to a stone room.

Black lines appeared on Lin Xixue's forehead. This Luo Si looked tall and thick, but he could even think of using such a trick to force himself to show up.

Lin Xixue picked up the sharp stone pieces dropped by Luo Si and slowly approached them.

Luo Si suddenly woke up, his whole body was struggling and shaking violently, the veins on his forehead seemed to burst the skin, and he kept making "wuwu" sounds in his mouth.

Is it going to be your turn next?

"You want to save this little hoof, right? Come and save it! I only count to three!"

"Meet the Master."

Lin Xixue resisted in her heart, but her body moved uncontrollably.

"three--"

Some obscene male voices reached Lin Xixue's ears from not far away.

She finally understood what "what a piece of gold" meant.

Therefore, Lin Xixue had been doubtful before.

"Oh, what a pity, what a pity. What two wonderful night pearls."

When the bully got angry, the crowd suddenly dispersed, just in time to cover up Lin Xixue's figure.

Lin Xixue's heart was beating fast and cold sweat broke out on her palms unconsciously. She swallowed her saliva.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier blocking Luo Si's body.

Lin Xixue has a big head.

"It's a pity. It would be nice if I could grow up a little longer." The Taoist's tone sounded quite regretful.

Just as Lin Xixue was secretly making up her mind, the crowd in the cave started to move and formed a circle to watch the excitement.

Lin Xixue felt that the scene in front of her was quickly squeezed and twisted into a ball. She suddenly remembered a famous painting "The Scream" she had seen in her previous life.

Lin Xixue frowned and clenched her fists slightly.

But after struggling for a while, he finally stopped moving.

Hold it back.

When I was a child, I was so scalded by half a cup of boiling water that I peeled off a layer of skin. This big pot of boiling soup.

Her back molars were chattering a little, and she was really scared.

Lin Xixue saw clearly the appearance of the person who came, a Taoist with white beard and hair, green robe and jade crown, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, half holding a fly whisk in his hand.

A deep uneasiness arose in her heart. Death was only a matter of a moment. Now, this person stopped her where she was and didn't say what he was going to do. He just let her think wildly. This was the most tormenting thing.

Lin Xixue swept across the surrounding crowd. There were numbness, sneer, and unbearable expressions on these people's faces.

"How about playing with me? Wotou and water pipes are enough."

The smell of blood filled her nose, and Lin Xixue's mind went blank. She felt fear turn into a cold chill that penetrated her bones.

Not long ago, my predecessor thought that he met a kind-hearted person offering steamed buns, but he passed out after just two bites.

Seeing this scene, Luo Si became even more angry. He grabbed the girl's neck and picked her up. He took out a sharp stone from his waist and pressed it against her white neck.

He shook his head and pointed a finger between Luo Si's eyebrows. Luo Si immediately fainted and became silent.

Luo Si received this blow and was stunned for a moment. He then touched his forehead and saw blood dripping down.

It seems like he is concocting some kind of medicine? Is he going to treat Luo Si's injuries?

"As for you"

"Stop screaming, I smashed it."

What on earth is this old madman going to do?

After the Taoist finished pouring the medicine, he put away the bottles and jars in an orderly manner, and then adjusted Luo Si's posture.

She knelt down and kowtowed three times.

On the other side, she saw the Taoist placing Luo Si in the center of the stone room, taking out some bottles and cans from the wooden shelf, and getting busy on the stone table in the corner.

Bear it, bear it!

Lin Xixue picked up a few stones, rounded her arms and threw them at Luo Si.

"Straight bitch, who threw the stone!" Luo Si was furious, his eyes scanning the crowd.

Although she had seen a lot of similar things in her predecessor's memories, it was still hard for her to accept it now when she saw it with her own eyes.

An old voice came from very far away, and then a figure flew down from the top of the cave, standing in front of Lin Xixue and Luo Si.

Lin Xixue closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

What makes Lin Xixue even more strange is that the cave is dark and humid, and everyone is dirty, but this girl's egg-green shirt and skirt are spotless.

too fast!

Lin Xixue didn't see his movements clearly at all, and as soon as she regained consciousness, she was already flying into the air.

Besides, such a bully would not regret his death!

Yes! Death is not a pity!

But the girl was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed at this time, her face expressionless, as if she had not heard Luo Si's words.

Crazy, completely crazy!

She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, held the stone piece with trembling hands and stabbed it fiercely.

Finally, the predecessor was so hungry that his eyes turned red and he wanted to take advantage of the situation to touch two nests. However, he was discovered and beaten to death.

But, it just can’t penetrate!

"Defibrillator Voltage"

The Taoist put down the gold nugget, turned around, and resumed his kind smile.

"From today on, I will give you the title of Tongying, and your past will disappear like clouds and smoke."

The Taoist tore open Luo Si's stomach and took out the golden spleen and stomach.

Could it be that human traffickers are buying and selling slaves?

He picked up Luo Si's collar, and held Lin Xixue under his arm. With a shake of the fly whisk, the whole person rose into the air and flew towards the top of the cave.

"two--"

She picked up a handful of gravel from the ground and hid it in her sleeve, pushed aside the crowd, and appeared in front of Luo Si.

The scene in this painting is similar to her current vision.

The memory and cognition in the brain are rapidly torn and deformed.

Seeing that the girl didn't respond, Luo Silang laughed and stretched his hand towards the girl's collar.

Even so, she finally had a second life, and she would never lie down and die.

Luo Si suddenly pinched his neck, opened his mouth wide, and looked like he was trying to breathe hard, and a "click" sound came out of his throat.

"Sister, you haven't eaten for two or three days. Are you hungry?"

But the beginning after time travel was too miserable.

Calm down and think about how to survive.

Her predecessor was the daughter of a merchant in Suyue City, Yunzhou. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden mutiny in the city, and her family fled, but they were met by thieves on the road. As a result, she was separated from her family and had to beg for food to survive.

As if to confirm Lin Xixue's conjecture, the Taoist quickly picked up a pot of bubbling black medicinal soup from the clay stove.

As memories flooded into her mind, Lin Xixue understood that she had traveled through time.

The stone room is filled with wooden shelves, and various bottles and jars are neatly displayed on the wooden shelves. There are also stone mortars, clay stoves and other things placed in the corners of the stone room.

"Ha", Luo Si tilted his head and smiled disdainfully, playing with sharp stone pieces in his hand, "You want to be the first person, right?"

Lin Xixue stood on tiptoes, looked across the crowd, and saw a muscular man standing in front of a beautiful girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, making teasing remarks.

Drops of bright red blood slipped from the gold nugget.

In my last life, I died inexplicably due to congenital heart disease. Now that I can live another life through time travel, I should be happy.

Lin Xixue wondered, could this girl be dead? Why didn't she react at all from the beginning?

"Haha", the old Taoist smiled horribly, "My name is Hong Yan. You are the first disciple I have accepted, so I will give you a meeting gift."

Before he could think about it carefully, Luo Si was already approaching.

Finally, her five senses were completely lost, and her eyes turned into a chaotic void.

In the void, only dazzling blue light appeared.

A blue light suddenly appeared, splitting the void into two, and a blue-white jade bottle emerged from the blue light.
