Chapter 158: The Tender Side
The night once again shrouded the world. The lights of the town have long been lit up, and the night market of the Ming Dynasty is bustling, and this point coincides with the most frequent activities of merchants.
As in the past, it was around dinner in the Hundred Medicine Workshop, and the disciples were coming in and out, some had already eaten their fill, wandering around inside and outside the disciples' courtyard, and some were about to go to serve the meal with containers. Almost all places where there are disciples are a happy scene.
Of course, there are a few exceptions, and Wanshitang is one of them. Two hours ago, there was a meeting here, and there were not many people here, but all of them were the core figures of the Hundred Medicine Workshop.
"The legged horse and the shadow guest came back, saying that they had lost the person directly. This is not reasonable, no one of us can catch up with the rat king surnamed Mo. A white-haired old man sitting on the third chair on the left, from top to bottom, said.
"The head of this house has long said that this move is not good, not to mention the grass and the snake, but also to make the family prepared. Sitting on the right is a middle-aged man in a green robe. His position is special, everyone sits in the left row, and he is the only one who sits in the right row.
"Heh~" A person in the left row heard this, "Lord Boss, I don't know what you have to do, can you tell me about it?"
"Elder Jiao, don't be rude!" The second woman in Tsing Yi sat in the second row on the left, it was Luan Lianxin. As the number two person in Baiyaofang, although she is a woman, with her many meritorious deeds in Baiyaofang, there is nothing unreasonable to sit in this position.
After being drunk by Luan Lianxin, Elder Jiao glared at the man in the right row and twisted his head in a different direction. The man in the right row was indifferent to this, as if he didn't take Elder Jiao seriously at all.
Sitting at the top of the left was Luan Xundao, the owner of the Hundred Medicine Workshop, who coughed lightly, and continued: "Don't say much useless words, the Yue Seagod Sect didn't underestimate the enemy this time, they sent three Dharma Protector Kings, two banners of water and fire, three elders, and nearly half of the elites in the sect." This is going to kill us!" The last sentence was already quite severe, but the worry on his face also made people perceive that this powerful man would also feel a moment of panic.
As soon as Luan Xundao's words came out, the faces of everyone in the left row became a little ugly. The people present are the core figures of Baiyaofang, what Baiyaofang has been busy with all these years, it is impossible for them not to know. I thought that I would soar into the sky and make a splash, but at this most critical moment, the news leaked, causing them to usher in the most powerful opponent in advance.
The man in the right row did not look nervous, he picked up the tea set placed on the side, raised his head and took a big sip, and said with a smile: "It's just a few Dharma kings, and those two people have never come, what's so terrible?"
Such arrogant words naturally attracted the white eyes of everyone in the left row, and one of them said: "Lord Boss, where did you get your confidence? Back then, when the Five Colors of the Yue Sea God Sect went to Taimur Mountain, your Five Spirit Immortal Alliance rose up in groups, but the five of them made trouble in Songyang Palace, slashed the five-color flag with a sword, and finally gave them a whole body to retreat. When the man said this, he looked to the left and right of his people: "You say, am I right?"
"Fan Geyu, don't talk about it twenty years ago, how can the Five Spirit Immortal Sect be compared to that time?" said the man in the right row.
"Oh, three years ago, the Winter Pavilion made a big fuss at the Extreme Peak, but this happened in recent years!" Elder Jiao just said again, and he didn't forget to give Fan Geyu a look when he spoke.
"Jiao Yunyin, Fan Geyu, when are you two still talking something useless here, do you want Elder Ben to assign you to the four gates to defend?" The old man in the third row on the left shouted in a deep voice.
As soon as he was drunk by this person, Fan Geyu lowered his head and stopped making a sound. After all, he is a person who understands, the four gates are the gateways of the Hundred Medicine Workshop, once the opponent launches an attack, the first to bear the brunt is the four gates, and then the rest of the fang. This is a very big difference in the difficulty of defending. If they stay in other parts of the main square, even if the opponent attacks them, one of them will be scattered in number, and the other will be full of their own masters. Advantages may not necessarily exist, but they can greatly reduce the gap between friends and enemies. On the contrary, if you go to defend these four gates, not to mention the scattered manpower on your side, if the other party wants to make a name for itself, it will definitely gather superior forces to attack, and it will never show mercy to its subordinates. In general, being sent to guard the four gates is definitely a thankless chore.
Fan Geyu was silent, but Jiao Yunyin looked at it and said with some dissatisfaction: "Who~ The Great Elder also looks down on people, what are the three Dharma kings, and they are not three heads and six arms, can they really overturn our top here?" It turned out that Jiao Yunyin was more than Chinese New Year's Eve today, but he learned a strange book at the age of twenty-seven, and his martial arts made great progress, and he jumped from a quasi-third-rate to a top-grade master. He once practiced martial arts under a mountain stream, and became famous for cutting off the waterfall that flowed with a knife. The self-created 36-style interceptor knife method is said to have never been used in actual combat. No, as soon as he heard that someone dared to kill at his doorstep, his heart was ready to move, and he just wanted to kill people right away and try his new knife technique with human life.
As soon as Jiao Yunyin said this, the Great Elder's face immediately turned unpleasant. Just now they said that the person in the right row was too conceited, and he didn't want to finish his sentence, but a more conceited one jumped out on his side. In one sentence, the Yue Seagod Sect and everyone on his side were involved. Feelings: He thinks that the two sides are like two ants fighting, and he can crush them all as soon as he stretches out his fingers.
"Since you're so confident, then go and guard the Stone Medicine Gate!" the Great Elder said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, Fan Geyu's face immediately changed. He hurriedly got up from the chair and arched his hand towards the Great Elder: "Great Elder, Brother Jiao is open-mouthed, he has offended the Great Elder, and I ask the Great Elder, you don't care about the villain, don't ......" Before he finished speaking, Jiao Yunyin waved his hand and said: "Hey~ Brother Fan doesn't need to say much, the stone medicine gate is the stone medicine gate! I, Jiao Yunyin, have never been afraid of anyone!"
As soon as Jiao Yunyin said this, Fan Geyu couldn't get angry, only to hear him say coldly: "I'm afraid that you will go in vertically and come out horizontally." ”
"Fan Geyu, are you looking down on me?" Jiao Yunyin stood up suddenly, his fist raised as if to smash down on Fan Geyu. Fan Geyu subconsciously raised his hand to resist. These two people are together every day, and it is common for them to discuss something. But Jiao Yun's hidden temperament is too arrogant, and every time he beats Fan Geyu to the point that his nose is blue and his face is swollen. In addition, Jiao Yunyin's strength is above Fan Geyu, Fan Geyu is doubly careful with him, as soon as he sees his fist raised, he looks like he is going to fight, no matter what occasion it is, there is a posture that you want to beat me to accompany him.
When the two of them made such a fuss, Luan Xundao's face sank, and his left hand slapped on the armrest of the back of the chair, with a muffled sound, and then he heard him say in a deep voice: "Why don't you sit down quickly, what kind of noisy and shouting is?"
Luan Xundao's shot, everyone only felt that the qi and blood in their bodies were churning, knowing that Luan Xundao was angry, they couldn't help but glance at the two of them. Jiao Yunyin only said that everyone didn't trust him, and immediately turned around, arched his hand towards the first Luan Xundao, and said: "Subordinate Jiao Yunyin, I am ordered to guard the stone medicine gate!" As he spoke, he turned around and was about to walk outside, but he heard a deep voice behind him: "Slow!" But it was Luan Xundao who stopped him.
Without waiting for Jiao Yunyin to turn around and argue, Luan Xundao continued to shout: "Are you joking? The Stone Medicine Gate is flat and the easiest to break, so instead of going there to die, it is better to go to the Qingquan Gate." It was relatively close to the Stone Medicine Gate, and if the Yue Hai God Sect wanted to attack from the Stone Medicine Gate, it would definitely send a small team to attack the Qingquan Gate. When the time comes, it will be better for you to ambush them over there than to encounter a strong enemy and lose your life. ”
Jiao Yunyin stopped, he may not be an arrogant person, the five-color protector king of the Yue Sea God Sect is famous, although he wants to try his strength, but he doesn't plan to fight with others as soon as they meet. At this moment, listening to what Luan Xundao said, he intended to find a step down for him. Immediately, he turned around and bowed: "Jiao Yunyin, thank you for your advice!"
As soon as Jiao Yunyin left like this, the main things in the Hall of Everything were almost said. Luan Xundao then arranged some tasks for the others, and then everyone left Wanshi Hall one after another.
By the time there were only two people left in the Hall. Luan Xundao sighed, sat back in his place, and at the same time opened the tea bowl that had been placed on the table for a long time, took a sip, then looked at the bowl, and said lightly: "Evil~ If it was expected to be such a situation earlier, would Master Qiu regret what he did that day?"
At this time, the other person who was still sitting in the hall of all things was the person who was sitting in the right row before. At this moment, the man was closing his eyes and recuperating, as if he was unaware of the sudden emptiness of the Hundred Medicine Workshop, after Luan Xundao said that, he didn't answer anything immediately, he took a breath, and then said slowly: "Things haven't developed to the point where there is no time to clean up, why should Brother Luan be so arrogant?"
"Heh~ It's rare that Master Qiu can be so calm. Luan Xundao shook his head as if he was a little self-deprecating, took another sip of the tea in the bowl, put it down gently, and then said: "This time it's not just the Yue Haishen Sect, but the Five Spirit Immortal Sect is also making a move. As he spoke, he suddenly looked at the head of Qiu and said, "I heard that Li Yanhui is here in person this time!"
"Isn't she just for her disciple?" Master Qiu didn't seem to be moved at all.
"What are you thinking about the heads of the Five Spirit Immortal Sect, I, the people of the evil way, can't figure it out. Luan Xundao snorted lightly, "But I should remind you that Li Yanhui's city is too deep, and she is even more terrifying than your alliance leader Huang Yinyue." ”
"You don't have to worry about these things. Master Qiu picked up the tea bowl and drank it all, got up and said, "If there is no other command, Qiu will leave first." ”
After the head of Qiu also left for a while, Luan Xundao slowly got up, and unconsciously sighed again. It can be seen that he doesn't have much confidence in the next battle, but as the owner of the workshop, he must put on a posture in front of his subordinates.
"It's a good game. Luan Xundao seemed to be talking to himself, "At the beginning, I only thought that we should each seek our own interests, and I didn't want things to come to this point today, but you can get out of the way." I'm looking for a way...... I'm really ashamed of myself!"
Luan Xundao didn't stay in Wanshitang for long, and soon walked out of it. At this time, he was about to walk towards his residence, when he suddenly heard a soft voice behind him: "Brother Dao!"
Hearing that it was his sister Luan Lianxin's voice, Luan Xundao turned around, couldn't help but show a smile on his face, and said with a slight bow: "What's wrong?"
"Brother Dao, do you think we can survive tonight?" Luan Lianxin had a worried look on his face.
The corners of Luan Xundao's mouth turned up, and a cold snort came out of his nose: "Hmph! They don't take our Hundred Medicine Workshop too seriously." Don't say that this is our own territory, even if it is outside, I Luan Xundao may not be afraid of them. ”
Listening to Luan Xundao's words, Luan Lianxin seemed to feel a trace of relief and smiled, but immediately showed a sad face, only to hear her continue: "The Yue Seagod Sect is powerful and strong, and the three Dharma Protector Kings are all peerless masters. Although Brother Dao has taken the Advanced Pill, he already has the strength of a peerless mid-grade one. There is also an immortal evil stone body protector, and it should not be difficult to maintain the peak strength of the peerless mid-grade in a short period of time. But if it drags on for a long time...... Xinmei is really afraid that it will be unfavorable to Brother Dao. ”
Luan Lianxin's words are exactly what Luan Xundao is most worried about. Forty years ago, by chance, Luan Xundao found a crystal gem from the cold plains of the far north. This gemstone is as white as fat jade, and the whole body exudes a gentle atmosphere, if it is worn on the body, it can keep the spirit platform clear and stable. And Luan Xundao had seen such treasures in ancient books, and when he knew that he had picked up the treasure of heaven and earth, an idea gradually took shape in his mind. He began to be unwilling to be the leader of such a force in the rivers and lakes, he wanted to do something great, dominate the rivers and lakes, and even overthrow the imperial court.
It was from then on that Luan Xundao began to expand his power, he recruited masters everywhere in the rivers and lakes, opened the secret technique of the Hundred Medicine Workshop, and wantonly refined medicinal corpses. And after that, he participated in the operation of seizing the Hengshan Yinxue Sect's Ice Condensing Sword Technique, and thus met Qiu Jinyang, who was still a teenager at the time. Luan Xundao helped Qiu Jinyang win the position of the head of the Taishan Storm Faction, and tempted him with exercises and other benefits. The head of the righteous path who made his heart sinked with interests took the secret medicine "Meditation Heart Pill" of the Hundred Medicine Workshop, and thus became the mother of the medicine corpse. The mother body can transmit the medicine to others through transmission, blood alternation, and sharing food. And once he becomes a medicine corpse, while his power is greatly increased, his mental nature is gradually affected. Once driven by the "Urging Incense", the medicinal corpse will be quickly medicated, and its power will be greatly increased, and it will be full of killing, becoming a murderous demon.
This was naturally part of Luan Xundao's plan for a long time. He wants to use the army formed by these medicine corpses to fight out of the rivers and lakes and dominate the martial arts. It just didn't happen to him, the night before his plan was about to succeed. Mo Jianying suddenly appeared and rescued Zhen Yingying and Yuan Yuke, who he originally intended to use as medicinal blood. As a result, his army of medicinal corpses failed to refine the best form. And now, we have to immediately usher in a joint counterattack by several major sects of good and evil.
It's just that now, he can only comfort Luan Lianxin: "Don't worry, Brother Dao is not the kind of person who fights unprepared battles." As long as you guard the herbal medicine gate and prepare the boat to cross the river, if you really can't do anything when the time comes, Brother Dao will definitely come to you. ”
"Okay, then Brother Dao, you have to be more careful!" Luan Lianxin finished speaking, made a blessing to Luan Xundao, turned around and was about to leave. Luan Xundao looked at her back, and suddenly shouted: "Sister Xin!"
This shout made Luan Lianxin's feet pause, Luan Xundao looked at her, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he muttered a few words: "Sister Xin, Brother Dao has lived up to anyone at his own expense, but he has only failed you." He said it to the end, his voice seemed a little hoarse.
If there were other people present, it is estimated that they would not have believed that Luan Xundao, the number one person in the Hundred Medicine Workshop, a well-known peerless master in the rivers and lakes, would have such a tender side.
