Chapter 309 Don’t Think I Won’t Beat You Just Because You’re Handsome (4600 words)
Dark night, a dry mountain, and a deep pool.
The pool was full of dark water.
Bright moon, lonely star, and a dim lamp.
There was a skeleton clearly visible under the lamp.
The shape of this skeleton is strange, half of it is glass-colored and the other half is ivory-colored. It looks like a human figure, but its height is nearly two meters, which is definitely not a physique that an ordinary person can achieve.
One of the heads was also pale and hideous, with two strange fires flickering in its eyes. The left eye was as pure as glass, and the right eye was as black as ink.
He was wearing a suit of armor that glowed dark and dangerous. In his right hand was a large sword that looked like a door, its edge was bloodthirsty.
It sat there quietly, as if it were the remains of an ancient hero.
At first glance, it was a sea of blood and corpses.
Gurgle, gurgle.
Two bubbles suddenly emerged from the deep black pool in front of him.
Soon, more and more bubbles appeared, and the whole pool of water seemed to boil in the blink of an eye! Then a head suddenly floated up.
Just like...the bean curd bubbles floating in the overturned hot pot soup.
"Bone Demon, the loss this time was heavy."
The bean bubble continued to float up and soon revealed its entire shape. It turned out to be the pharmacist demon that was killed by Li Chu with a sword earlier.
He actually "resurrected" from this pool of water.
He rose from the deep pool, walked on the water, and came to the shore, complaining all the time.
"All the plants I planted in Tuyang Cave, as well as the resurrection medicine I refined...all went to waste."
The big white skeleton didn't seem to care about it. It just held the big sword beside it, rubbed it, and asked in a cold voice:
"Who killed you?"
"I don't know." Yaoshi Mo said with lingering fear, "I only know that he is a young Taoist priest, and his characteristic is... handsome, extremely handsome."
"Why did he kill you?" the Bone Demon asked again.
“I don’t know either…” Yao Shi Mo shook his head again, “They don’t follow the rules very much. They didn’t say anything before they started.”
"So what do you know?"
The Bone Demon looked at him as if he were trash.
"You can't blame me for this..." Yaoshi Mo's expression was very innocent, "They suddenly broke in, and I asked 'who are you', and he raised his hand and struck with a sword, it was very fast."
"The matter at Fuhuang Tomb will soon be over." The Bone Demon said, "If the body is found and your resurrection medicine is not yet ready, the city lord will be furious."
"I can't do anything about it. No one could have expected this accident. And I've been handling the alchemy work by myself, and I don't have any strong helpers. I haven't even caught the main herb yet."
The Medicine Master stood there, spreading his hands, looking aggrieved.
"The city lord asked me to practice, how can I practice?"
The Bone Demon nodded at the huge skull.
"I know you're having difficulties... My work over there is basically finished. If you need any more help, just ask."
"Bone Demon, you are indeed my good brother." Medicine Demon seemed a little touched, and then said: "Then can you lend me some money? I just came out of the pond, and I have nothing. You know, my plants are very expensive..."
"I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do..." The Bone Demon stood up suddenly, picked up the big sword beside him, and strode away. "The clothes hanging at home have been confiscated, and there is soup cooking on the stove."
“…”
The Medicine Master curled his lips.
"Brothers on the surface."
…
The night was not over yet, and the Mizuno Plain was completely silent.
But in the endless gray night, there is a cluster of psychedelic lights.
Looking closely, it was an exquisite three-story pavilion that appeared in this wasteland. It seemed very abrupt, yet inexplicably attractive.
On the second floor of the attic, red candles were lit and wine glasses were clinking.
A man with a red nose, sparse hair, and a dirty body, wearing a ragged cotton coat, although he was out of tune with the gorgeous decoration around him, he sat high up in the first seat.
Next to him was a middle-aged woman who still had some charm.
Sitting on the seats opposite were three young ladies, each with her own shyness, all of whom had fair skin and beautiful faces.
The three girls and the woman were all wearing colorful gauze clothes, which were so light, soft and charming that they dazzled the eyes.
"Although you saved my daughter's life in the swamp, our family is not just any family." The woman gently pushed a glass of wine to the man and said.
"If it weren't for your handsome appearance, I wouldn't have decided to marry my daughter to you."
"Yes, yes." The man nodded repeatedly.
Every time he lowered his head, the candlelight shone on his head, shining brightly, reflecting the radiance of a handsome man.
The three girls opposite all covered their mouths and laughed softly.
"Look..." the woman pointed again, "They are so happy when they hear that they can marry you."
"I understand." The man smiled so hard that his mouth almost turned behind his ears.
"After all, our place is a bit isolated. The girls may have never seen a young man as outstanding as you." The woman flattered repeatedly and raised her hand again, "Zhenzhen, Aiai, Lianlian..."
"Who on earth are you going to marry this young master?"
"I'll do it, I'll do it." The girl named Lianlian was the first to stand up, "Young Master, you saved my life, so I should be the one to repay you with my body."
"How can that be?" The girl named Ai Ai held her down and stood up by herself: "How can the younger sister get married before the elder sister? Let me do it!"
"Second sister is right." Zhenzhen stood up, "I am the oldest here, I should marry first."
"Humph." Ai Ai glanced at her and puffed out her chest, "That's not necessarily true."
"..." Zhenzhen looked at Aiai's deliberately puffed chest, then looked down at herself and pouted, "Mom, isn't she bullying me?"
Compared to this, among the three sisters, Ai Ai is indeed unique.
It is only slightly inferior to the original Cat Nine.
"Well..." The man was a little confused, "Who is older between them?"
The woman chuckled and said, "They are triplets. According to the order of birth, Zhenzhen should be the eldest sister, but in fact they are the same age. However... now they are all vying to marry you, so I'm afraid you will have to let them choose."
"That's unacceptable..." The man waved his hand, "No matter who I choose, it will hurt their sisterly feelings."
"Young master is very kind..." The woman was about to say something else.
Then the man continued, "Can't I marry all three?"
"Forehead……"
The woman was startled for a moment, then looked at the light reflected from the man's head and smiled, "You, sir, are quite thoughtful."
"how?"
"Well, my family only has three daughters. If you marry them all... that would be the end of my life, wouldn't it?" The woman said with a smile, "Young Master, you should choose one quickly."
"Okay." The man looked a little disappointed, and then looked up at the three girls, saying, "Although I am a woodcutter and herb collector, my ancestors are also scholars, and I am related to the Seven Families of Tiannan. I want to marry a wife, and I must find someone with inner qualities..."
As he spoke, he pointed to the love spot in the middle.
"I can tell at a glance that you have the most substance."
…
"I'm so tired and it's all in vain. This stinky man complains so much, but he just likes big breasts." Zhenzhen complained.
Lianlian smiled and said, "I don't know what kind of toad that person is, and he wants to marry all three of us."
"Humph." Zhenzhen curled her lips, "So ordinary, yet so confident..."
After the banquet, Ai Ai led the man to the third floor.
The remaining three, mother and daughter, stayed in the hall to chat.
Lianlian stood by the window, looking out bored, and said, "Come to think of it, I was the one who went out to lure the person this time. I can never snatch it from my second sister."
"Next time I'm outside, I'll suck away the yang energy." Zhenzhen muttered.
"No!" The woman immediately rolled her eyes. "There are many cultivators in this world. It's too unsafe for you to rashly absorb other people's yang energy outside."
"Oh..." Zhenzhen stuck out her tongue.
"Mom, it seems like someone is coming outside." Lianlian, who was standing at the window, suddenly shouted.
"Hmm?" The woman raised an eyebrow, "Who is coming?"
"Two Taoists and a rich young man." Lianlian said.
"Taoist priest?" The woman thought for a moment, "It's better not to provoke them. If they are fine, just let them go."
“But this Taoist priest…” Lianlian’s voice became a little strange, “He is so… so…”
Knock knock knock.
There was a knock on the door downstairs.
"Go open the door, and be careful." The woman gave him a look.
"I'll go." Lianlian rushed downstairs.
She quickly ran downstairs, took a deep breath, and opened the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a very dazzling face.
"Ah..." Lianlian was so nervous that the first sound that came out of her mouth was a moan.
"Um?"
She quickly covered her mouth, then blushed and asked, "Little Taoist Priest... is there something wrong?"
The Taoist outside the door smiled faintly, "I came from Hangzhou Prefecture and went to Qishan City in southern Xinjiang. I passed by here and would like to stay for one night. I will leave at dawn. Is it convenient?"
"My family is full of women..." Lianlian blinked and whispered, "It's very convenient."
The Taoist priest outside the door is naturally Li Chu.
He, Du Lanke and Wang Longqi learned from the villagers in the north of the mountain that the place where Heizhu and Yao Meiren met was in Mizunohara.
So I followed the villagers' instructions and came here.
Sure enough, I saw such a building.
"Little Taoist priest, please follow me." Lianlian took Li Chu upstairs and asked, "My name is Lianlian. May I ask what your address is?"
"Li Chu."
Two more voices were heard from behind.
"I am a poor Taoist named Dulanke."
"I am Wang Longqi."
"Ah!" Lianlian was startled, "Why are there two more people?"
“…”
"This one is my disciple, and this one is my good friend. They came here with me and entered the door together." Li Chu explained.
Lianlian smiled at him and said, "No one else saw it."
The tone was as if he hadn't noticed some insignificant object, not two living people. And even if he was reminded, he didn't seem to be planning to take a look.
Lao Du and Wang Longqi looked at each other.
We were speechless, with tears streaming down our faces.
When Lianlian led the three people to the second floor, the hall had been completely renovated. There was no leftover food, only new wine and delicious food.
The woman and Zhenzhen went forward to greet him.
"The Taoist priests have arrived just in time. We have just prepared a banquet and have not started eating yet."
"Oh, mom is so thoughtful..." Feeling the familiar atmosphere, Wang Longqi immediately smiled.
Lao Du immediately grabbed him and said, "Seventh Young Master, don't forget what we are here for."
"Sorry." Wang Longqi quickly came to his senses. "Professional habit."
Li Chu raised his hand towards the woman and said, "No need. Actually, we came here mainly to find out some things."
"oh?"
The woman's eyes sparkled, "What do you want to ask, Taoist priests?"
"A few days ago, a medicine beauty entered Shanbei Village, killed two villagers, and planted many curses." Li Chu asked: "I would like to ask you if you know about this matter."
The faces of the three women suddenly changed color and became gloomy.
The woman stared at Li Chu for a long while before she said, "Of course we don't know."
"But according to the testimony we received earlier, that beautiful lady did get married from here. If you all insist on not telling the truth, then I will have to take some more drastic measures." Li Chu said calmly.
"Humph." The woman raised her eyebrows, "Are you threatening me?"
"yes."
Li Chu admitted it without hesitation.
His frank admission made the woman pause.
Then there was a burst of anger.
She took a step back and said angrily, "Don't think I won't hit you just because you're handsome!"
Bang——
With a loud bang, a burst of colorful smoke suddenly burst out from the woman's body, and eight long, hard, sickle-like insect legs shot out from her back.
Her two daughters also transformed at the same time.
In an instant.
Yingying and Yanyan transformed into spider spirits! The magnificent hall was actually a cave of silk! The demonic atmosphere surged!
Li Chu was not at all panicked by this.
He raised his finger and uttered softly, "Determined."
one.
two.
three.
Wooden man.
The mother, her two daughters, froze in place.
They were like three giant spider specimens, but in the blink of an eye, their ferocious appearance disappeared.
Become well-behaved and pitiful.
Easily destroying the enemy's fighting ability, Li Chu allowed the woman to speak again and asked, "Aren't you a spirit of precious medicine?"
“No…” The anger on the woman’s face disappeared completely, and she said in an extremely gentle voice: “We are just a few small spider spirits in this Shuiye Plain.”
"What's the matter with that medicine beauty?" Li Chu asked again.
"this……"
The woman hesitated, as if weighing the pros and cons.
But she soon realized that there was no need to weigh the pros and cons. Life was not only filled with dangers in the distance, but also with the little Taoist priest and the sword in front of her.
So she said directly: "It was done by Medicine Lady, it has nothing to do with us."
"Medicine Lady?"
"That's right. Medicine Goddess is the biggest monster in Mizunohara. She has been practicing here for a long time. She has a weird temper and great magical powers. We are all very afraid of her. Little monsters like us don't dare to kill people. Usually we just trick some passers-by into coming in to absorb her yang energy and make them sick at most. But Medicine Goddess doesn't care about that. She often kills people in a very cruel way, and also kills other monsters."
The woman's eyes were trembling, and she was obviously very scared.
I don't know whether she was afraid of Li Chu or the Medicine Lady she was talking about.
"I remember what happened last time. She lied to the herbalist and said she was getting married. It's just that she didn't have her own cave, so she borrowed my place. I'm a low-level Taoist, so how could I dare not lend it to her?"
Li Chu had previously used his mind to scan these three mothers and daughters, and found that they had no resentment. It was known that they might have absorbed people's yang energy, but they had never killed anyone, so their methods were so gentle. Now listening to what she said, it was probably true.
He then asked, "Do you know where to find her?"
"The Medicine Goddess is a precious medicine in the world. All living beings in the world covet her, so her whereabouts are always elusive and no one can find her..." the woman replied.
Li Chu frowned slightly.
In this way, the clue will be broken again.
"No way." Wang Longqi said dejectedly: "Then what should I do about my father's curse?"
"If you want to cure the curse of the Medicine Goddess, I actually know..." the woman suddenly said.
"Hmm? Do you know how to solve it?"
“I know something…” The woman rolled her eyes and said, “I can tell you, but you have to promise me, Taoist Priest, that after you tell me, you won’t kill us mother and daughter.”
"You haven't killed anyone, so your crime doesn't deserve the death penalty." Li Chu agreed.
The woman nodded, and then said: "I don't know how to solve it, but I know that the curse of the Medicine Goddess is to bind a person's fate to a herb, called the 'Life Medicine'. Then this herb with a person's life tied to it is sold, and many Yin cultivators... that is, ghosts, can use it to practice. Once the Life Medicine matures, the person whose fate is bound will die in the same way as the Life Medicine is disposed of. If you want to save that person and you really can't find the Medicine Goddess, you might consider finding the Life Medicine back."
“Life-saving medicine…” Li Chu asked, “Where does she usually sell the life-saving medicine to?”
"Those who need to buy this kind of medicine are ghosts, so the Medicine Goddess will sell them in the ghost market." said the woman.
"Ghost market?"
"Yes, the underground ghost market in southern Xinjiang."
The little Taoist's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Is there such a place?
Today I swore to my editor that I would try my best to write 8,000 words, but after a whole day of holding back, I still managed to write more than 4,000 words. It was so painful.
