Chapter Twenty-Three: A Chance Encounter with the Dan Emperor

The water of the lake was pressed into the sky, a large forest in front of it fell, and the bent body of the great snake was cut into several pieces with a knife, twisting back and forth.

"Oh, don't chop the snake pill with this knife, this fourth-order cold cockroach is not easy to find. ”

The white-robed old man hung a green gourd on his waist, looked at the big snake floating in the lake at this time, and muttered in distress.

The knife momentum was not dispersed, and Xiao Wu could not hold on to the knife.

Qiushui behind him saw Xiao Wu being hit by a big snake, and his heart was about to break. Seeing that Xiao Wu was motionless, he ran over in a panic, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, Xiao Wu fell into the girl's arms.

Maybe Fang Cai's experience, although Qiushui was worried, she didn't panic, but when she realized that the medicine had run out, her face couldn't help but turn pale, and she hurriedly shouted: "Brother, go and pick some herbs to stop bleeding, Xiao Wu has shed too much blood!"

Shangguan Zhengtian stood beside Shangguan Qiushui, did not move, and stared closely at the old man in white not far away, who was as deep as the abyss.

The old man coughed awkwardly, showed a kind smile, and said, "The old man has some healing medicine here, if you don't dislike it, you can use it." ”

After saying that, he threw two bottles over.

Shangguan Zhengtian took it, a bottle of medicinal powder, a bottle of potion, took out a little and tasted it in his mouth, and then handed it to Qiushui, staring at the old man from beginning to end.

Shangguan Qiushui fed the potion, and then began to smear Xiao Wu's wounds, Xiao Wu's wounds were all over his body, and some places made Shangguan Qiushui blush.

"Xiaoqiu, I'll come. ”

"No, brother, I'll come. Shangguan Qiushui blushed and smeared the medicinal powder all over Xiao Wu's body.

The old man retreated awkwardly, he didn't care what Shangguan Zhengtian thought, but the cold eyes that didn't look like a human made him very uncomfortable.

Xiao Wu was seriously injured, but his breathing was always there, although it was very weak, and he finally saved his life with the help of two bottles of medicine.

The old man didn't know where it came from, Xiao Wu woke up not long after taking the pill, but he looked miserable and his injuries were still heavy.

When he opened his eyes, Xiao Wu saw the two of them surrounded by a fox, Xiao Wu smiled: "I'm fine, don't worry about me." ”

The old man in the distance saw that Xiao Wu had woken up, and asked in a distant voice, "Little brother, can you get closer and talk." ”

Xiao Wu tilted his head to look at the old man, dressed in snow white, with a kind smile on his face, and a small verdant gourd hanging from his waist.

"It was the medicine he gave you that stopped the injury. Qiushui saw Xiao Wu's suspicious face and said softly.

"Thank you, senior, I don't know what happened?" Xiao Wu grinned at the old man, he was no longer able to get up.

"The old man saved you for his own reasons, and he did something utilitarian, so he didn't need to thank him. The old man came to Xiao Wu's side in a few steps, rubbed his hands and said, "This old man has been looking for a long time, and I am willing to exchange other things for that demon pill." ”

Qiushui glanced back at Shangguan Zhengtian, Xiao Wu didn't speak, and also turned his gaze to Shangguan Zhengtian.

And Shangguan Zhengtian was still looking at the old man.

"The old man also has some experience in treating the dead and helping the wounded, and your situation can be described as extremely bad. Seeing that Xiao Wu didn't answer, the old man said leisurely.

"Senior, let's discuss it?" Although the giant snake was killed by Xiao Wu, it was not his own effort.

"It's okay, the old man can afford to wait, little one, you can't afford to wait. After the old man finished speaking, he retreated into the distance, and Shangguan Zhengtian looked away.

"Let's exchange the snake pill for him to heal Xiao Wu. Shangguan Zhengtian said calmly.

"Hmm. Qiushui was the first to nod, Xiao Wu opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what to say.

After a while, the old man approached and asked with a smile, "How?"

"The snake pill can be given to you, but I still have to bother the Dan Emperor's predecessors to take action and heal my companions with all their hearts. Shangguan Zhengtian's voice was still flat.

The old man looked at Shangguan Zhengtian playfully, and then popped out a pill: "If you take this golden pill, you can cultivate it for thirty years." ”

The old man walked into the snake that had been broken for a few knots, measured it carefully with both hands, and then moved his fingers again and again.

A burst of cold air surged, and a fist-sized blue and white bead floated in the palm of the old man's hand, patting the green gourd on his waist, and the fist-sized bead quickly shrank and sank into it.

After doing all this, the old man looked at Shangguan Zhengtian with half-squinted eyes and said: "The little guy of the Shangguan family has good eyesight, I once got half a snake pill, and it is useless to me, so I will give it to you." ”

The golden light flashed, and an object fell into the hands of Shangguan Zhengtian.

The old man turned around and wanted to leave, but at this time, Shangguan Zhengtian suddenly spoke: "I wonder if I can ask my seniors to help refine these snake bodies?"

The old man looked at Shangguan Zhengtian with a smile and said, "It's okay. ”

As he spoke, several crimson flames emerged from the old man's hand and floated towards the serpent. A few snakes sneered, kept getting smaller, and finally became more than ten times smaller, completely lost the appearance of snake meat, and were casually placed in front of the three of them.

The white-robed old man floated away.

"Put it away. Shangguan Zhengtian glanced at Xiao Wu, walked to the side and closed his eyes, and he didn't know where he received half of the demon pill.

"You can't eat this, you can only use medicine. Qiushui put a few palm-sized snakes into Xiao Wu's storage bag.

"Well, I made a note of it. Xiao Wu said: "Don't let me go, you can keep some." ”

The snake body has five sections, and the roots are blood-red, as if blood is flowing, and it looks quite strange.

"You put it away, my brother doesn't need it. Qiushui shook his head slightly.

"What about you?" Xiao Wu's weak voice carried a hint of questioning, or anger, but he was gagged by a golden pill in Qiushui.

Qiushui smiled slightly: "I don't need it either." ”

Jin Dan entered his abdomen, like a mouthful of cool snow water swallowed down his throat, and a wisp of coldness expelled Xiao Wu's weakness for a few points, and soon, it was unbearable pain.

Xiao Wu rolled out of Qiushui's arms and fell to the ground, his whole body trembling.

"Xiao Wu!" Qiushui wanted to help him up, but was held down by a pair of hands, Shangguan Zhengtian said softly: "You can't help him, he will be fine." After speaking, pull the autumn water away a little.

Xiao Wu lay on the ground for a full quarter of an hour, and then fell to the ground, without moving.

Qiushui ran over with a scream, turning Xiao Wu over and hurriedly until Shangguan Zhengtian said that he was just unconscious.

After a great battle, Cheongdam turned into a mud pond.

Because of Xiao Wu's coma, the three of them and one fox did not leave for the time being.

Shangguan Zhengtian carried Xiao Wu and found a clean place to throw it away, Qiushui hurriedly took out the futon and wrapped him, while complaining about Shangguan Zhengtian.

"Xiaoqiu, what are you going to do?"

"What?" Qiushui wondered.

"You know that. Shangguan Zhengtian's eyes fell on Xiao Wu, Shangguan Qiushui understood what Shangguan Zhengtian meant, and his expression became lost.

"Do you like him?"

"No... No, Xiao Wu almost died because of me, I just want to take care of him. Qiushui's face was flushed, and his voice was like a mosquito.

"Is that really the case?" Shangguan Zhengtian looked at the girl.

"Brother!" Qiushui was ashamed.

"Xiaoqiu, you ......"

"Brother, I know. However, I want to spend more time with him. In this way, Xiaoqiu is content. ”

There is endless warmth in the autumn-like eyes, and at this moment, there is a wisp of pleading.

Seeing Qiushui so affectionate, Shangguan Zhengtian's heart was shaken, and he almost stood unsteadily.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I won't stop you, but you have to think clearly for yourself, his identity is not ordinary, and many things are not as simple as you think." ”

Shangguan Zhengtian walked slowly to the side, his chest seemed to be pressed against a mountain, making him breathless.

"You should have stood on the top of the world, you should have soared for nine days......" Shangguan Zhengtian's thoughts were confused.

The sound of the flute echoed, Xiao Wu woke up from a coma, a pile of dry wood was burning beside him, and not far away was a petite figure, from where the sound of the flute came.

The sound of the flute was tactful and sad, Xiao Wu couldn't bear to interrupt, and he didn't speak until the flute stopped: "Xiaoqiu?"

The white fox lying next to Xiao Wu was the first to notice Xiao Wu waking up, opened his eyes and glanced at Xiao Wu before falling back asleep.

The figure not far away heard the voice and walked quickly, it was Shangguan Qiushui, holding a white jade piccolo in his hand.

"How's it going, are you hungry?" Qiushui asked.

"I'm a little hungry. Xiao Wu smiled embarrassedly.

Qiushui took out a spirit fruit and handed it over: "I don't have anything to eat now, let's eat some fruit first." ”

Before Xiao Wu could stretch out his hand, a wild boar was thrown beside him, and at the same time, Shangguan Zhengtian's voice sounded: "Just eat this." ”

Xiao Wu was reluctant to eat the spirit fruit of Qiushui, looking at the wild boar that was bigger than him, Xiao Wu pulled his mouth and said: "I'll just eat this, I can't eat enough of this fruit." ”
