Chapter 172 All encounters in the world are reunions after a long separation [5,000 words two-in-one]
boom--
In the quiet autumn night, a roar suddenly came from Deyun Temple, echoing throughout Shilipu.
The fox girl turned over and woke up in an instant. The sharpness she had developed from years of training in the wild allowed her to immediately lie down on the ground with her tail raised.
His eyes were full of brilliance as he looked around.
The little koi stared with her eyes wide open, her hair standing up, and her face was blank. After thinking for a while, she felt that she was still a little sleepy, so she covered her head with the quilt and fell asleep again.
But soon Miss Xiao Liu opened her quilt and said, "Don't sleep anymore. Come out and take a look."
The little koi fish was pulled out by her with its eyes closed, and floated away... like a fish in her lotus pond...
Wanli Feisha lived closest to the explosion site, and immediately jumped up like a rocket, and ran out of the door at a speed of smoke. He ran a few miles before he suddenly stopped and rubbed his eyes. The night wind blew, and he sobered up a little.
Only then did he remember that he was no longer in the underworld.
Should we go back and see what happened?
Li Chu calmly put on his Taoist robe, walked into the yard, and looked towards the place where the explosion occurred.
There was the little doctor's room, a makeshift thatched hut.
Now it’s gone…
There was only a cloud of black smoke.
It was not until everyone gathered in the yard that the little doctor walked out of the smoke with a smoked pig's head on his head.
"Ah—I won, I won!" He ran out shouting loudly.
Wanli Feisha asked unhappily, "What did you win?"
"I'm poisoned!"
Rushing out of the smoke, the little doctor quickly took out a bunch of bottles and cans from his arms, mixed them for a long time, and drank it all in one gulp. After that, the black on his face quickly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Huh..." He let out a long sigh, and then raised his head excitedly: "I found a way to deal with the Creation Pill, it will definitely work this time."
"Really?" Everyone looked at him suspiciously, and then looked at the small piece of ruins behind him.
"Hmm!" The little doctor raised his head again, "It's just that it's missing a neutralizing substance that can reconcile the thirty-eight powerful medicines. I already know what it is."
He turned around and looked at Li Chu expectantly: "Let's go collect herbs."
Li Chu looked at him calmly: "I have no objection to you going to collect herbs in the middle of the night, but I suggest you put on some clothes."
The young doctor then realized that he was in tatters and naked from head to toe due to the explosion.
"Alas..." He sighed, "You guys got a bargain."
…
The next day, dusk.
At the foot of the Kassa Mountain.
The neutralizing substance that the little miracle doctor mentioned is called Xuanqingdan.
This medicine is water-based and icy in nature, and generally grows underwater. It is recorded in Xuanhu Weng's "Jiuzhou Treasure Medicine Collection" that the nearest place in Hangzhou where Xuanqingdan may grow is Jiasha Mountain.
Jiasha Mountain is not far from Yuhang Town. There are many pools of water on it, and mountain streams and clear springs are flowing everywhere.
Along the way, the little doctor covered half of his face with cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, which were full of impatience.
It can be seen that he really loves and is obsessed with medicine.
In the village at the foot of the Jiasha Mountain, two white-haired old men were standing under a big tree at the entrance of the village, standing there quietly watching the sunset without saying a word.
It was not until Li Chu and the young doctor passed by the big tree that the two old men began to talk.
"Oh, I heard that there are demons in this Kassa Mountain again."
"Yes..." another old man answered, "A water dragon appeared in Xiaobitan. My grandson and his friends went to play in the river that day and saw it with their own eyes! They were terrified!"
"That goblin doesn't eat children?"
"No, I heard that some natural treasures appeared under the water of Xiaobitan, and the monster came specifically for the treasures."
"I don't know what kind of treasure it is that can grow under the water."
Hearing the conversation between the two old men, the young doctor had an idea.
He walked up and asked, "Two elders, we are doctors who came to the mountain to collect herbs. I would like to ask, where is the Xiaobitan you mentioned?"
The old man on the left smiled and said, "Xiaobitan is the highest pool of water on the top of Jiasha Mountain. Although it is not big, it is the most beautiful and is emerald green all year round."
The old man on the right said, "If you want to go up the mountain, you must be careful. There are not only wolves and wild beasts in the mountain that cannot be completely defeated, but also monsters."
"That's OK. My Taoist friend specializes in subduing demons and monsters." The little doctor pointed at Li Chu, then bowed and said, "Thank you, two elders."
"Haha." The old man on the left smiled, "If you can help us subdue the monster on the mountain, our whole village should thank you two."
The young doctor and Li Chu went up the mountain.
The two old men also finished explaining their brief stories and returned to the mode of quietly gazing at the sunset.
Or perhaps, when the next young man passes by here, they will repeat the previous conversation.
…
"After listening to what the two old men said just now, it is very likely that the little Bitan has grown Xuanqing Gallbladder."
"The growth law of Xuanqingdan is to choose high rather than low, deep rather than shallow."
“That is, for the same mountain, it is usually at the highest point. For the same pool, it is usually at the deepest point.”
"If it can attract treasure-guarding monsters, then it must be the mature Xuanqing gallbladder. Only the mature Xuanqing gallbladder can emit a fragrance that attracts monsters." The little doctor said on the way up the mountain.
Li Chu had already reached the top of the mountain with his mind and saw the clear pond. Although the perception of the breath would be slightly blurred due to the deep water, the impact was not that great.
In the highest pool on the top of the mountain, there were indeed two long, cold figures. One was relatively ordinary, and the other had an extremely weak aura.
I think it is the water dragon that the two old men mentioned.
Not one, but two.
There were many other auras around the mountains, so he didn't pay attention to them.
Soon, they arrived at the top of the Kassa Mountain and saw the small and exquisite pool of water.
The moonlight covers the ground and the clear pond is tranquil.
Like silver inlaid with jade.
"Do you see that shadow?" the young doctor pointed at the pool of water.
Li Chu looked over there and indeed saw a dark shadow. The surroundings were illuminated by the moonlight, but only that place seemed to be unable to let in any light.
"That's why we have to come here at night to collect herbs. There is a black and green gallbladder under the water, and the moonlight cannot penetrate the surface of the water, so this is the only way to get a guide." He said, "Follow this shadow vertically downwards, there must be a black and green gallbladder under the water!"
The whole process went very smoothly.
Immediately, Li Chu asked the little doctor to wait on the shore. He relied on the water-repellent beads to protect his body and jumped down.
Once in the water, it was a familiar feeling.
This small bitan is not large in area but is quite deep. It took a long time to go down to the bottom of the pool, where there is a cave.
We continued going deeper into the underwater cave, and after a while, we finally reached the end.
Deep in the cave, there were indeed two water dragons.
The two water dragons were huge, estimated to be about 70 to 80 feet long, and the thinnest part was as thin as a bucket. They were squatting together in this river cave, which was quite cramped.
One of them was covered with tiny black scales. When it saw Li Chu coming in, it immediately stared with its black and yellow vertical pupils alertly, raised its head, and let out a low "Roar——"
The other white-scaled water dragon was still coiled in the same place, motionless. Although its vertical pupils were opened, there was very little spirit in their pupils.
Looking at its lower body, nearly half of it was already rotten, and it seemed to be entangled by a mass of black substance, which looked extremely painful.
The two water dragons didn't have any grudges, and they probably hadn't done anything to harm the world. I just heard from the two old men that a child went into the pool, but was just scared away by them, and wasn't hurt at all.
Thinking of this, Li Chu stopped thinking about drawing his sword.
He really wants experience points, but he will never get them by killing innocent people.
Look to the side.
Not far from where the white-scaled water dragon was lurking, there were several narrow, transparent grass-like plants swaying in the water. At the tip of the grass leaf was a cluster of pure white, fist-sized fruits, which looked as if they were filled with mutton fat.
According to the diagram shown to him by the young doctor, this is the Xuanqing Gallbladder.
Li Chu was about to negotiate with the two water dragons to see if he could take Xuan Qingdan away peacefully without harming them.
The black-scaled water dragon that had been staring at him for a long time stood up halfway and spoke viciously, "Another minion of the Jiangnan Palace? If you dare to take another step forward, I will fight you to the death!"
Um?
Li Chu frowned. Is it the Jiangnan Palace again?
This name has appeared more frequently recently.
Before he could reply, he saw the white-scaled water dragon struggling to get up: "Husband! Don't... let me go with him."
It turned its head and looked at Li Chu again: "Anyway, all you want is a beast of luck. I am a white jade dragon, and my luck is a thousand times stronger than its. If you insist on hurting my husband, then I will commit suicide here and never let you get what you want."
"My wife!" The black-scaled water dragon roared in resistance: "No, the two of us must live and die together!"
"My dear... I have been cursed by that traitor. It would only increase my suffering if I continue... Why don't you go by yourself? We can help each other and forget about the world..."
"My wife!"
"Husband!"
"Please wait a moment..."
The tenderness between them awakened some familiar memories of Li Chu. He quickly raised his hand and skipped the entire conversation.
"You may have misunderstood. I have no hostility towards you. I am here to collect herbs."
"Um?"
The two water dragons were entangled with each other and were showing their deep affection. When they heard him say this, they were a little suspicious, a little surprised, and a little embarrassed...
Thousands of words can be summed up in one sentence...
You should have said it earlier...
Li Chu pointed at Xuan Qingdan next to him and said, "I came here this time because I need this thing."
The black-scaled water dragon shrank back awkwardly, leaving only its head standing upright, but its tone was still unfriendly:
"Of course not! My wife is suffering from a curse and can only fall asleep with the scent of this black green gall. If you take it away, what should we do?"
Li Chu used the Qi-gazing technique to scan the wound of the white-scaled water dragon.
The wound was surrounded by a strange black gas, which entangled with the blood and flesh of the water dragon, making it impossible for the wound to heal, but it became larger and larger. Looking more closely, it seemed that the black gas was composed of countless tangled black lines...
Like a witchcraft spell.
Li Chu picked up the seal with his right hand, walked towards the white-scaled water dragon and said, "Let me try it."
The black-scaled water dragon was furious: "You are so bold, you want to try my wife too?"
Li Chu glanced at it and said, "I mean... I'll try to heal it."
Then he raised his finger gesture, boom——
A small sun suddenly appeared in the water, and the golden light of the small bodhi mantra instantly illuminated the entire cave! It even penetrated outside the cave.
The black-scaled water dragon retreated suddenly: "How dazzling."
The magical thing is that as the golden light shone, the black gas that was wrapped around the wound of the white-scaled water dragon slowly dissipated and eventually disappeared without a trace.
When Li Chu removed the small Bodhi Mantra, the wounds on its body had mostly recovered, leaving only a shallow layer of scales and flesh wounds.
As long as the black paint is gone, the wound will heal automatically.
Li Chu's understanding of the Small Bodhi Mantra has deepened a lot.
This mantra, in my hands, has the magical effect of clearing almost all negative states and blessing positive states. But for something like the Creation Pill, it is no longer a negative state, but has completely changed its form, so there is no way to deal with it.
This kind of spell should also fall into the category of "negative state", so he dared to go forward and give it a try.
"Ah!" The white-scaled water dragon exclaimed in surprise: "Thank you, Taoist Priest!"
The attitude of the black-scaled water dragon also changed greatly. If it had knees, it would have knelt down. At this time, it kept bowing to Li Chu: "Thank you, Taoist priest, for saving my wife! I was anxious before and was disrespectful. Please forgive me!"
"No need to thank me." Li Chu waved his hand and asked, "You just said that it was the people from the Jiangnan Palace who were arresting you?"
The black-scaled water dragon nodded repeatedly: "That's right!"
"My surname is Jiao, and my name is Jiaohei. This is my wife, her name is Jiaobai." He began to tell the story.
Li Chu blinked and thought that the names of these two people with the surname Jiao were too hasty.
"We originally lived in the area between Liuhua River and the estuary. We have always practiced peacefully and never dared to harm anyone."
"Who knew that the Jiangnan Palace suddenly went crazy in Hangzhou Prefecture to capture the fortune beasts. My wife, who is a white jade dragon, was also targeted by them, and a group of minions surrounded and chased us. They chased us all the way from Liuhua River to here."
The black-scaled water dragon said angrily.
Li Chu was thoughtful after hearing this.
Speaking of the beast of fortune...
The most famous one is naturally the koi.
Could it be?
While the black-scaled water dragon was complaining, he had obtained the consent of the two monsters and took the black-green gallbladder. Although the black-green gallbladder was a natural treasure that could suppress pain, it was not of much significance to the nearly healed water dragon.
Jiao Hei continued to say:
"One of them used a spell, and he was particularly difficult to deal with. He used a spell to injure my wife, and she can never be healed. He trapped us here, and he must be watching us from the bottom of his heart. He wants to wait until we can no longer hold on, and then capture us."
"Um?"
Li Chu frowned when he heard this.
If there were bad guys watching outside, would that be bad for the little doctor? He quickly put away the black gallbladder and jumped up towards the water.
What you fear will come to you.
As soon as he came out of the water, he saw the little doctor lying on the ground with his eyes closed, and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead.
In front of him stood a middle-aged man in strange attire.
This person is none other than Mr. Wu from the Jiangnan Palace.
…
Mr. Wu did come to capture those two water dragons.
There was no way, the last spell I cast on the colorful koi had gone wrong. The evil god had been out of touch for many days, and when we reestablished contact, the evil god's demands became more and more.
If he doesn't work harder, he will not be able to satisfy the Evil God.
However, most of the lucky beasts in Hangzhou Prefecture had been captured, and it was not easy to find this white jade dragon. After several days of pursuit and interception, they were trapped here.
He was originally staring at the lake from afar with his magical powers. The white dragon had been hit by his vicious spell, and there was no other water channel underneath, so it would be inevitable that it would come out sooner or later.
Unexpectedly, two more people came. He was about to deal with them, but suddenly he found that one of them was an acquaintance.
That outrageously handsome little Taoist priest.
hehe.
I didn't expect that he would come to my door on his own initiative.
It is true that we will meet at any place in the world... There is a road to heaven but you don't take it... There is no door to hell but you come to it...
When he saw Li Chu, he immediately changed his mind. After Li Chu went into the water, he appeared and subdued the little doctor with magic.
The little genius doctor has some skills, but the skills he practices are all in the medical field, and they are all practiced concurrently. In terms of combat effectiveness...
It's probably 50-50 with the little koi.
Mr. Wu subdued him and planned to wait for the young Taoist priest to come out and then use him to threaten him to hand over the koi.
Then……
He waited for Li Chu.
Li Chu looked at him, frowned and asked, "Are you from the Jiangnan Palace?"
"Yes, was it the two water dragons underwater that told you? Little Taoist, I guess you don't know that I have seen you." Mr. Wu said with a smile.
"Have you seen me?"
"Yes, I know you have a colorful koi."
Mr. Wu picked up the little doctor and said, "If you want your friend to be safe, then take the colorful koi in exchange."
Li Chu looked at him strangely: "Why should I change?"
"Um?"
Mr. Wu didn't quite understand what he meant, but he could tell that the young Taoist priest was not afraid of his threat.
So his face darkened and he shouted, "If you don't hand over the seven-colored koi, I will kill this man! Aren't you afraid?"
"Certainly."
Before he finished threatening, Li Chu raised his hand and Mr. Wu stood stiffly in place, unable to do anything... Only chaotic thoughts could run wild in his mind.
Shit...it turns out he really isn't afraid.
But why does he have...
Immortal magic!
This little Taoist priest actually knows how to freeze someone in place?
Mr. Wu was horrified and secretly hated his subordinates for being too crude and unable to find out such information.
But it's too late...
No, it's not too late!
For ordinary practitioners, their bodies are controlled, their true Qi cannot flow, their seals cannot be made, and they cannot display any magical powers.
The same is true for witchcraft.
However, he still has a life-saving trick up his sleeve.
That is...
The one that the evil god promised him...
This time I exchanged for ten times my luck...
God descends!
Even though I am very reluctant to use it here, once it falls into the hands of this little Taoist priest, there will be no good ending!
He had always been a ruthless and decisive person, and he did not hesitate. He gritted his teeth, chanted the name of the evil god in his mind, and prayed madly.
"My Lord Evil God! Come and save your believers."
"I request to use it once..."
"Your God is coming!"
boom--
The dark starry sky in his sea of consciousness suddenly opened, and in an instant, it spread to the human world. Above his head, a huge black light curtain suddenly opened up!
The night sky seemed to be torn apart -
Within the light curtain, infinite evil energy descends!
Accompanied by the roar of space being crushed!
Boom boom boom——
"My believers..."
"I will save you from all suffering."
"I am supreme..."
"My coming will lead you away from delusion."
A silver-white evil spirit slowly fell from the light curtain, from bottom to top, like a true god, descending into this space little by little.
Li Chu listened to the voice and suddenly felt... it sounded vaguely familiar. What was going on?
"I asked you for..."
"I will repay you a hundredfold."
"My gift to you..."
“I don’t ask for anything in return.”
"My name spreads throughout the three realms—"
"I……"
"?"
"Fuck you!"
…
…
…
I have been looking forward to the 10,000-subscription badge for a long time, and thought it would be available in the early morning, but it suddenly appeared just now... I suddenly felt a little dull... It couldn't alleviate the pain of my writer's block at all.
This is the first time I’ve written a novel with so many words… the first time it’s been recommended… the first time it’s been put on the shelves… the first time I’ve received royalties… the first time it’s a high-quality novel… the first time I’ve received 10,000 subscriptions… It’s only been more than three months since I published the book, and I feel a little disillusioned with life.
Thank you all, your support is everything.
Again, I am extremely honored and will keep up the good work.
