Yu Lie secretly glanced at the female Taoist disciple in front of him, and was suddenly a little frightened.
But the female Taoist disciple did not give Yu Lie too much time to think. She sat astride the paper moth, waved her sleeves, and ordered:
"Lead the way, Pindao wants to see the corpse of that beast and the children he mutilated."
The other party's words were very righteous, but the strange tone in her voice made She Shuangbai beside Yu Lie secretly squint her eyes.
Both of them calmly raised their hands and agreed: "Yes."
Immediately, Yu Lie set off and led the other party to the place where the corpse was buried in the mountain village.
Although Yu Lie had dispersed the crowd in advance and prohibited too many people from lingering in front of Fang Lao's body and the group of human heads, cattle and sheep, the arrival of the female Taoist disciples sitting on paper moths still immediately attracted the attention of the entire mountain village.
They all started chirping.
A pair of eyes looked nervously and excitedly at the female Taoist disciple in the air, whispering: "There is someone coming from the town!"
Some people's eyes flickered, and they thought unwillingly: "It's the Taoist disciple who is here. I wonder if you will uphold justice for Hall Master Fang..."
The female Taoist disciple entered the morgue, her feet did not touch the ground, and the paper moth was still sitting on it. Her eyes glanced at Mr. Fang's broken body and the several animals that had been transformed into animals one by one.
A look of regret appeared on the face of the female Taoist disciple, and the other party said:
"What a pity. This guy Lao Fang has obviously accumulated such a level of cultivation. Why did he do such evil things? He deserves to end up like this."
Yu Lie and She Shuangbai waited beside the female Taoist disciple.
Among them, Yu Lie looked at the expression on the female Taoist disciple's face with his peripheral vision, feeling increasingly weird in his heart.
Because the look of regret on the face of this female Taoist disciple was not polite at all, it was revealed from the bottom of her heart, but it gave Yu Lie the feeling of hating iron for not being able to make steel.
And when the female Taoist disciple looked at the animals making animals aside, she said, "It's really pitiful for these little people, who have fallen into such a situation."
At this time, the look of pity on the female Taoist disciple's face was particularly fake.
In other words, the other party didn't show mercy to the beasts at all, but just gave a business-like explanation.
After looking at the corpses and other things, the female Taoist disciple asked the remaining two people to leave, and then called the rest of the people in the mountain village into the morgue one by one, and asked about the matter again.
In the meantime, Yu Lie stood outside. He looked at She Shuangbai, who was motionless next to him, and hesitated to speak.
Yu Lie wanted to make some insinuations several times and ask She Shuangbai about the female Taoist disciple and the animal creation.
But he was also afraid that there were two ears on both sides, and if it turned out to be what he imagined, it would have a bad impact on the two of them.
Observing She Shuangbai, Yu Lie thought to himself:
"She Shuangbai seems to have a good background and is not stupid. He is older than me in the alchemy room and has extraordinary experience. Since he is indifferent, why should I bother?"
So Yu Lie suppressed the surprise and distracting thoughts in his heart and stood outside the morgue, looking at his eyes, nose and heart.
After a few cups of tea, a voice came from the morgue: "You two, come in."
The remaining two people immediately turned around and walked into the morgue.
The female Taoist disciple had already stepped off the paper moth, but there were still a group of small moths surrounding her. She was stroking her belly and pacing around the animals.
"I know what happened tonight. You two discovered it in time and eradicated the evil, which has contributed to the town. Otherwise, in Blackwater Town, we don't know how many innocent children will suffer this disaster, and even bring disaster to the town."
future trouble."
The female Taoist disciple pointed at She Shuangbai and said:
"You have done a good job in eradicating evil. Although Lao Fang is from the town, his head is considered a fool, so I will mark it down for you."
Hearing what the other party said, She Shuangbai's eyes moved slightly, she lowered her head and said, "Thank you, Master Taoist!"
When a Taoist boy goes down the mountain, each time he loses a Taoist boy from another town and retrieves his head, he can accumulate corresponding merit.
This credit is related to the merit-based rewards after the end of the Dadian Army. Especially for Taoist boys who have been promoted to high positions, it seems to be related to the matter of becoming a master and accepting a disciple.
Therefore, every head of a high-ranking Taoist boy cannot be missed.
It's just that it hasn't been long since Yu Lie was promoted to the top, and more specifically, what he knows is not detailed.
After briefly talking about She Shuangbai's matter, the female Taoist disciple looked at Yu Lie again and said, "Yes, the purpose of having more soldiers in this town is to train juniors like you. I hope to get a few more high-ranking officers before the extraterritorial fragments are opened."
.”
The other party's words made Yu Lie's heart move slightly: "Extraterritorial fragments?"
This slightly unfamiliar word was not the first time it had appeared in Yu Lie's mind, but it was the first time he had heard it spoken by someone else, and he was also a Taoist disciple.
Before Yu Lie could chew more, the female Taoist said again:
"Since you are already a high-ranking Taoist boy and a member of my alchemy room, you have indeed defeated Lao Fang in a battle of wits. Although there were some twists and turns in the process, Pindao has accepted the position in the Medicine Prescription Hall."
A chuckle came from the other party's mouth.
These words made Yu Lie feel happy, and he quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Master Dantu. Yu Lie will work diligently and manage the medicine prescription hall well."
Although Yu Lie did win the previous battle with Mr. Fang in alchemy, in the eyes of some people, his method was a bit disgraceful and unconvincing.
Now with these words from the Taoist disciple of Danfang, Yu Lie can completely secure his position as the leader of Yaofang Hall.
Even if in the next period of time, there is a middle-rank Taoist boy in the alchemy room who is promoted to a high position, the opponent will be wary and probably won't come over to compete with Yu Lie for position.
However, before the female Taoist disciple finished speaking to Yu Lie, the other party continued:
"Also, since you are the first to discover this matter, it should be the first to succeed. You are also the first person to be promoted in my alchemy room. I can't be too stingy, so I will give you two choices now."
The female Taoist raised her finger: "First, Pindao will try to return the method of making animals here and save these poor little guys. I allow you to watch from the sidelines and give Pindao a beating by the way."
"The second thing is, you should go back to the town now and quickly inform the alchemy room of the medicinal materials and prescriptions needed by Pindao and ask them to send someone to deliver them. Then you can go to the Yamen to precipitate the qi and blood."
When Yu Lie heard the two choices given by the female Taoist disciple, his thoughts suddenly started to spin.
On the surface, the first choice given by the other party is obviously the best.
By watching the Taoist disciples in the alchemy room making elixirs and helping them, you can not only learn something, but also build a closer relationship with the Taoist disciples in the alchemy room. It is very possible to be accepted as a disciple by the other party.
As for the second one, because of the last night raid, Heishui Town now stipulates that Taoist boys are restricted from entering and exiting during the military period in order to prevent traitors from communicating with each other inside and outside the town.
If Yu Lie returns to the town to deliver the message, with his current status as a Taoist boy, he will not be able to violate the rules no matter how unreasonable they are. Once he enters the town, he will have no choice but to stay in the town, which is equivalent to quitting the Dadian Army.
In this way, the income from Yaofangtang's residence will have little to do with him. Perhaps the only benefit he can get is the precipitated qi and blood mentioned by the Taoist disciples.
And when it comes to delivering a message, no matter how urgent the other party is, and no matter how valuable the required medicine is, the transmission talisman is not qualified and must rely on people to deliver the message. The other party can also give the talisman and send other Taoist boys back.
Yu Lie thought: "This female Taoist disciple obviously wants me to choose the first choice."
But the key point is that the choice given by the other party is so obvious, which makes Yu Lie feel uncomfortable.
After all, although the other party kept saying that he was going to try to save Brother Qiao and the other children, the way this person looked at the human-headed animals was strangely bright.
Yu Lie was worried that if he helped the other party, he might also help himself.
"Could it be that I'm paranoid?" Yu Lie was confused.
He looked up at the female Taoist disciple and found that the female Taoist disciple was looking at him quietly, her face expressionless.
There was a moment of silence in the morgue.
Inadvertently, Yu Lie's peripheral vision glanced at She Shuangbai next to him. He found that She Shuangbai's gaze had been drooping, and his eyes suddenly changed direction.
She Shuangbai was raising her head slightly, staring at a beam in the morgue, her eyes motionless, as if in a daze.
The direction of this beam and column is the northeast direction.
The location of Blackwater Town is surprisingly also northeast of where Yaofangtang is located!
Yu Liefu thought of this with great interest, and raised his eyelids slightly.
"Since you are worried that this female Taoist disciple is not a good person, why do you have to risk your life? It is unwise to be with a tiger in the wild and put your life in the hands of the tiger!"
Yu Lie gritted his teeth and secretly decided: "Go back to the town and live in peace."
When we returned to the town, the rules were the strictest. Even eighth-level Taoist disciples could not kill Taoist boys at will. They had to find an excuse. If it involved a high-ranking Taoist boy, the evidence would be even more conclusive.
After a pause for a few breaths, Yu Lie cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you so much, Taoist disciple. I would like to serve as your front guard and go back to the town to get the medicine for you."
A chuckle sounded.
The female Taoist placed one hand on her bulging belly and covered her mouth with the other: "Yeah, yeah, what a timid little guy."
She swayed her body and walked slightly to Yu Lie's side, leaned against Yu Lie's ear, and said softly:
"Don't worry, the second benefit is not bad either. Little one, when you first enter the upper position, you will accumulate some energy and blood, which will be more beneficial to digestion."
After saying that, the female Taoist flicked Yu Lie's ears frivolously, dictated a few medicinal ingredients, gave one party a token, and ordered:
"Since you agreed, let's go quickly, so as not to be an eyesore here or to seduce others."
Yu Lie tensed his body and took a step back after hearing this.
He patted his calf repeatedly, activated the Water Monkey Armor and Horse Talisman, raised his hands and said, "Yes."
Yu Lie turned around, glanced at the female Taoist disciple, and found that her cinnabar-like red lips were curled up, looking at him with a pityful smile.
Without any time to think, Yu Lie exited the morgue directly.
Immediately afterwards, he found a group of middle and lower-ranking Taoist boys at the station, and briefly said that he would do things for the Taoist disciples. From now on, Taoist disciples would be stationed at the station, and everyone should be smarter.
By the way, he also gave some guidance to those three vicious Taoist boys.
After handling these chores, Yu Lie felt that he would not suddenly disappear in the eyes of everyone, so he hurried back to Blackwater Town with various thoughts in mind.
Along the way.
Yu Lie ran hurriedly, but the more he thought about it, he even held Fire Dragon Izuku in his hand, fearing that the female Taoist disciple had deliberately sent him out to the station so that he could be easily killed.
Jia Ma Fu was inspired to the extreme by Yu Lie. After just a few cups of tea, he returned to Heishui Cliff and set foot on the mountain road.
At this moment, Yu Lie breathed a sigh of relief completely.
Walking towards the town, he found that the town he had not seen for three months was a little different from before. There were clusters of paper flags stuck on the cliffs that were originally empty. They moved automatically in the absence of wind, making the cliffs even more ghostly.
But until he entered the town, he didn't encounter any inspections, sentry posts, etc.
This made Yu Lie feel nervous and relieved.
It was also at this time that his eyes suddenly flashed and he thought:
"Could it be that the reason why the female Taoist disciple gave me two choices, especially the second one, was just to hit me and stop me from thinking that I am smart..."
If there is really a connection between the human-headed dog and the method of making animals, Yu Lie will definitely not be the first person to realize this!
In the midst of random thoughts, Yu Lie came to the streets of Heishui Town.
He walked among the much sparser crowd, shook his head, and forced himself to get rid of all his thoughts.
No matter how much I think about it now, it is of no use.
On the contrary, just a few casual instructions from the female Taoist disciple could make him afraid of going to this point.
It really gave Yu Lie an indescribable feeling of being a little person.
Although he has been promoted to a high-ranking Taoist boy, he is still a nobody in front of the real eighth-level Taoist disciples.
However, since Yu Lie did not belittle himself too much, he narrowed his eyes slightly, found the direction, and stepped straight into the alchemy room.
Entering the alchemy room, Yu Lie quickly alerted a large number of people.
He did not overdo it, nor did he create any extraneous problems. After delivering the letter, he rushed to the Yamen of Heishui Town, intending to experience the benefits of accumulating Qi and blood.
The most important thing for Yu Lie now is to digest the changes of cutting hair and marrow as quickly as possible and rush to the eighth level.
………………
the next day.
There is one more person in the yamen of Heishui Town.
This person was Yu Lie. He was sitting on a stone table with a strange look on his face, looking at the dark, damp and dark environment.
Yu Lie shook his hands and feet slightly, and there was a crashing sound.
The place where he is now is a prison deep in the Yamen. This place is used to imprison Taoists and monsters who have violated the law.
Once entering this place, no matter whether they are Taoists or spirits, they will all become shorter, and the energy, blood and demonic power in their bodies will become stagnant.
After putting on the anklet bracelet, even the seventh and eighth grade ferocious beasts will be suppressed like ordinary pigs and dogs, unable to move even with a trace of demonic power.
This is because anklets and bracelets are made of a special material called "blood stone". After a Taoist or monster is cuffed, the blood stone penetrates into the body, and the inertia of the blood will be greatly increased.
.
Yu Lie is now suppressed by the chains and cannot use any energy or blood. His steps have become heavy. Except for the fact that his skin is still strong, he is no different from a mortal.
If Yu Lie were not in prison, unlike the others, the chains on his hands and feet would not have keyholes, so he could take them out and cuff them whenever he wanted.
The rest of the lieutenants all wondered if the female Taoist was tricking him into throwing himself into prison.
Walking around in the darkroom, Yu Lie pondered: "Is this precipitating Qi and blood? How can the effect be better?"
Apart from the chains, he could eat and drink whenever he wanted in prison.
It's just that because it's in the deepest part of the prison, it's difficult for prisoners to get in and out. The yamen Taoist boys are not allowed to come in at will, and they can't even deliver food.
Therefore, for food, drink, etc., I had to take off the chain and take it out of the storage pocket myself.
