Wu Qiudao felt as if his head was mushy, his whole body was sore and weak, and his eyelids were as heavy as if they were stuck with glue.
Although he didn't wake up, there was still a faint sound of calling.
"Little brother? Little brother?"
Wu Qiudao felt someone helped him up and gave him some water.
No, why is all this so familiar?
"Ah!" He woke up suddenly, remembering the miserable death of being bitten by the Tengu just now, and the dying hallucination of being led by the Goddess.
Let me go, it’s too painful for Tengu to dismember the body. I will definitely not use this trick next time!
"Little brother, are you okay?" The face of a young Taoist priest in white suddenly came into Wu Qiudao's eyes. His handsome and handsome face was full of worry. It was Chunyang who came to visit the demon Taoist during the day.
son.
Wu Qiudao may have had PTSD from people dressed as Taoist priests. He was so frightened that he stepped back a long way. When he found that he was naked, he was so frightened that he covered his head.
"Little brother, don't you recognize me?" Chunyangzi: "I am Kunlun sect monk Chunyangzi, my common name is Lu Yan, and I came here to investigate the case of missing Sichuan people. Little brother, don't worry, I will catch you here.
Senior Brother Tizi has passed away."
Wu Qiudao looked around. In the main hall, there were surviving medicine men wailing, but there were more stumps and broken arms on the ground, and the strong smell of blood in the air. He couldn't help but vomited yellow acidic water in disgust.
Taoist priest Lu Yan patted him on the back and saw that his life was not in danger for the time being, so he got up and went to treat other injured people.
Wu Qiudao wiped his mouth, found a piece of complete linen clothes everywhere and put it on his body, and silently followed Lu Yan to help carry water and wipe blood. He couldn't help but vomited several times in the process.
Although he still didn't think that he was wrong to die together with the demon. After all, these medicine people were going to die, and he just arrived a little early, but seeing them suffering from pain, he felt a little unbearable.
.
After Lu Yan debrided all the seriously injured medicine men and fed them with pills, he gathered the remaining 6 survivors who were not seriously injured and began to inquire about the ins and outs and pieced together the general story of the entire incident.
It turns out that Goutizi, the demon Taoist, was originally a serious practitioner. He studied under Zhangrendong of Qingcheng Mountain. He and Lu Yan, the Kunlun sect of Chunyangzi, belonged to the same Taoist branch, Supreme Miao Zhen Tao. They had met each other several times and had a certain affection for each other.
Different from Goutizi's previous self-reported experience, what Chunyangzi knew was that he secretly learned the "Dragon Flir Sutra" from his junior disciple Xuan Zhenzi, but he failed to stick to the spiritual platform when studying the sutras, and his mind was polluted by the Tao, and he did not know it.
I feel like I'm possessed by a demon.
After he went on a wandering trip three years ago, no one heard from him again.
In the past two years, cases of missing villagers in Sichuan and Sichuan have emerged one after another, but the Chengdu Futai Yamen has been helpless.
Lu Yan, the son of Chunyang, was aware of this incident and had been traveling around to investigate the truth. He heard that a monk near Longquan Mountain in Meishan County had reported that the temple had been taken over by gangsters, so he stopped by to see if there were any clues to the case of the missing Sichuan people.
Lu Yan only knew this part, and then several medicine people began to talk about their own experiences.
Most of these medicine people are born with strange bodies. They are often regarded as auspicious or strange phenomena in the countryside. They are somewhat famous in eight villages. They all happen suddenly one day, or encounter a wandering Taoist priest asking for directions, or encounter a demonic wind in the sky.
The attack came, and as soon as everything went dark, he was locked up in the dungeon.
Each medicine man was imprisoned for a different period of time. The longest one was more than a year. On weekdays, the medicine man not only had to do some handy work of pounding medicine and dusting dust for the demon, but also had to test the medicine for him after the elixir was completed.
, even Wu Qiudao knew this.
Then someone mentioned the terrible saying that was circulated among medicine people: This demon wants to use people to make elixirs!
"Wait a minute!" Upon hearing this, Lu Yan suddenly reached out and interrupted the medicine men's narration, "Can you guys put together a list of the medicinal materials that you usually come into contact with, and please explain in detail the process of testing the medicine."
The medicine people racked their brains to come up with a list of medicines, which are nothing more than lead, mercury, realgar, Ganoderma lucidum, white peony and Huangjing and other medicinal materials, but there are also mermaid ointment, dragon bone, blood bodhi, etc.
Fantasy material.
Listening to the medicine men's words, Lu Yan frowned, coughed a few times, raised his gourd and took a sip of wine.
An older medicine man talked about the process of testing medicine: "It means feeding different elixirs every time to see how effective they are. Sometimes we are even asked to swallow some cockroaches, rat women and the like alive.
Five poisonous insects and eggs.”
Another medicine man added: "They would also throw the medicinal materials into the hot soup and let us soak for three to five hours before putting us back in the cells."
Wu Qiudao was a little surprised when he heard this. Good guy, this devil turned out to be lying to others again. He really thought that he was the only one who got the chance to take a medicinal bath. He was really cunning.
"This is a medicinal bath. It is usually only used when forging the body or preparing medicinal materials." Lu Yan looked gloomy after explaining, and then asked, "By the way, you said that Goutizi asked you to test the medicine. The test medicine is always
It’s risky, right? But some drug addicts died on the spot after trying the medicine?”
The medicine people looked at each other and began to feel that something was not right. The old medicine man said: "We have not seen or heard of any medicine people dying after trying the medicine, but maybe some of us are not well informed. Immortal, this matter
Is there something wrong with my son?"
Lu Yan shook his head, coughed a few more times, forced a smile and said, "It's okay, you continue talking."
Then, Goutizi distributes the fragments of the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra" to the drug addicts, allowing them to initiate induction within three days.
Three days later, the Yao Dao used his Dharma Eye to check the medicine men one by one. Those who entered the door stood aside while feeding the medicine. Those who did not enter the door directly picked off the medicine and put it into the medicine cauldron. However, the medicine man assassinated the Yao Dao and stopped the process. Later, the Yao Dao
Tao also took a fancy to the medicine man's immortality and accepted him as his personal disciple.
Finally tonight, Goutizi suddenly summoned everyone, and his direct disciple Huanhuncao lay motionless on the ground, turning into a red ***, which was very scary.
Then a large group of invisible monsters suddenly appeared out of nowhere and ate many people. In the chaos, even the demon himself did not survive. Later, those monsters probably had enough to eat and drink, and suddenly they all disappeared.
After saying that, everyone turned their eyes to Wu Qiudao. He was the immortal man who was accepted as a direct disciple by the demon.
Wu Qiudao, who was in the center of everyone's attention, stared at Chunyangzi Lu Yan and asked: "Master Chunyangzi, oh no, Immortal Chief, you can turn into sword light and fly around, are you the legendary Shushan Sword Immortal?"
?”
"How can I be called a swordsman?" Lu Yan replied in a gentle tone, "Pindao, like you, little brother, is just an ordinary Qi practitioner seeking immortality."
"I wonder if among the Qi Refiners in this world, there are some who are decent and uphold justice, and those who are evil and harm the people?"
Lu Yan's face became serious and he replied: "roughly speaking, there should be some."
Wu Qiudao frowned: "So, Goutizi is a member of the devil's path, and you are an upright monk?"
Lu Yan's face looked a little ugly: "The Qingcheng sect practices my supreme and wonderful way. It has always emphasized purity, accumulating good deeds, nourishing the mind and refining the energy. It's just that Senior Brother Goutizi was taken advantage of by the three corpses for a while, so his behavior almost fell into the devil's way."
Although Wu Qiudao knew that Chunyangzi should not be blamed, he still couldn't help asking: "Then why did you not show up for a long time even though I gave the note to you, the great swordsman, and gave Goutizi a chance?"
Open a furnace to make elixirs?"
Lu Yan's eyes were slightly closed: "I'm sorry, Pindao has an old acquaintance with Senior Brother Goutizi, but I met you by chance. Although what you said on paper is shocking, I don't dare to believe it completely. I can only speak ten miles away.
Observe the movement.”
"As soon as I sensed something was amiss, I immediately jumped on my sword and flew over. However, I was still a step too late. I'm really sorry!"
