Follow the old Taoist priest into a quiet room, and Mingyue is roaring in the room.

The room was simply decorated, with only a shabby straw mat and an antique incense burner, the incense sticks in the incense burner had just been lit, and the faint fragrance filled the room in the smoke. The side wall of the room leaned against an old-fashioned wooden shelf, on which were placed many unknown herbs, among which there were several medicinal herbs Yang Yi's impression and impression, which he also used when he was a child when he helped him massage and pinch. According to the Taoist priest, this herb is crushed and applied to the body to help invigorate the blood and soothe qi. But Yang Yi just felt a hot pain in the place where he had been smeared all over his body.

"Sit down!" The old Taoist priest walked to the wooden shelf to select herbs, and hesitated for a moment before adding an orchid-like herb, but the smell was like rotten items in the sewer, and the stench was unpleasant and disgusting.

Yang Yi sat down cross-legged and wondered, "Are these herbs that I am going to use soon?" ”

The old Taoist priest nodded while crushing the herbs with a utensil: "Most of these herbs are helpful for invigorating blood and soothing qi, but one of them is highly poisonous, and after applying it, it will be red and swollen at best, and the skin will ulcerate at worst, and even be life-threatening." ”

Yang Yi knew that the other party would not choose this highly poisonous thing as a medicine for no reason, let alone joke with his own life, but he couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is the effect of this drug?" ”

All the herbs in the hands of the old Taoist priest were crushed into medicine residue and juice, and he said solemnly while stirring: "Ordinary people will never have your physical fitness, the innate demon body, there is a huge demonic nature and power lurking. Because of this, even after helping you unblock the blocked meridians, it doesn't play a big role. Therefore, I chose this highly poisonous thing to completely expel the impurities in your body for you, which can be regarded as fighting poison with poison. However, this is not exactly the root cause, if your body wants to return to the best and strongest state, you need to go through a third massage, of course, it is also the most important one. ”

Yang Yi exhaled and said: "I remember when I was a child, when your junior brother massaged me, he told me some problems about my own body, and last time I met an old Zen master in the Thousand Buddha Temple, he told me that the demonic nature in my body needs to be suppressed. The method of repression was not told to me, only to mention some things about tattoos. It seems that some special tattoos can have a suppressive effect on it, but I was not told exactly how to do it. ”

Hearing this, the old Taoist priest nodded and said, "Master Huijue has been in seclusion for many years, and being able to be met by you can be regarded as your chance." After a pause, he said: "Yes, you are the body of the Heavenly Demon, in addition to the quality of all aspects far beyond ordinary people, there are also huge dangers lurking, among which the meridians are blocked, and the need to wash the marrow is one, and the buried demonic nature is also one." ”

Seeing Yang Yi's ignorant look, he continued to explain: "The so-called demonic and physical strength coexist. How strong the body is, how big the demonic nature is. Let's take an analogy! The ancient god of killing, Bai Qi, is an example. Although he is known as the enemy of 10,000 people, and he has almost never encountered an opponent on the battlefield, he has a demonic body and a strong murderous intent, so he later killed 400,000 people in the Zhao State. This is still the best result after he has been suppressed by some secret methods. Otherwise, he would have had a breakdown and become insane before he was thirty years old. ”

Yang Yi finally understood what the old Taoist priest meant, nodded and said, "Then according to the meaning of the Taoist chief, in addition to the current marrow washing, what else do I need to do?" ”

"It requires a secret tattoo." The old Taoist priest sighed and said, "But now this secret method has been lost for a long time, and I am afraid that there will never be a time to see the light of day." After a pause, he said: "But you are blessed with good fortune, I believe that fate will not let you fall so easily, you can naturally meet it when the time comes, and it is too early to rush." ”

"The secret of tattoos?" Yang Yi was stunned, and then remembered that Yun Ran, the wolf king of Chengxi, seemed to have used this kind of secret needle method before, but according to what he said, his secret method came from a folk hermit, and it seemed to be incomplete. But in any case, I must find an opportunity to talk to Yun Ran alone about this matter, and by the way, let him introduce those hermit masters.

"Looks like you've got it in mind." The medicinal juice in the old Taoist's hand had been stirred evenly, and he said with a smile: "Then let's get ready to start!" Please take off your clothes first. ”

As soon as Yang heard this, he immediately took off his coat and shirt, revealing his naked upper body. His muscles were as usual, and he could see at a glance that he contained infinite power, but in fact, only he knew that his strength was gradually starting to disappear during this time, and it was not as good as it was a few years ago.

"It seems that the little layman has been through a lot of things." The old Taoist priest glanced at the scars on Yang Yi's body, and said movingly: "At least I have never seen a person who can have so many scars on his body and still be alive." Each of these scars should have a fascinating story, right? ”

Yang Yi didn't want to talk about the things that had been fought in the past in front of the old Taoist, and said with a smile: "It's all a trivial matter of sesame mung beans, and the Taoist doesn't have to care about it." People live in the world, and they have to do something surprising to be in vain, right? ”

The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "It's officially started." There may be a little bit of pain, endure it a little. ”

Yang Yi took a breath, nodded Zhi Tianxiu, and nodded lightly. The word pain has long been forgotten by him, and it can be said that he dug it out of the dictionary and does not exist at all.

Closing his eyes, Yang Yi felt that the other party was evenly applying the medicinal juice all over his body with his hands, and a slightly cold feeling came, which made him a little uncomfortable. However, the pain he had mentioned earlier was not at all, which surprised him a little.

Just as he wanted to speak, Yang Yi suddenly felt as if the skin on his whole body had been doused with gasoline and then ignited with a lighter. The burning sensation was like a sharp knife scraping his pain nerves, and the pain that penetrated deep into his bone marrow instantly submerged him like a tidal wave.

"I'm grass! Is it a little bit of pain? Yang Yi almost screamed, his hands involuntarily clenched into fists, his teeth clicked, and his whole body trembled slightly.

A Tianxiu was in his mouth, he didn't care about smoking it at the moment, the skin of his whole body turned red as if it was on fire, beads of sweat the size of beans mixed with medicinal juice, and black impurities oozing out of his pores turned into a fishy and unpleasant liquid. And the old Taoist priest didn't care whether Yang Yi could persevere, and after he finished, he just stood behind and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"It hurts even more than giving birth!" Yang Yi was powerless to complain, and now at this time he could only endure it silently. The nerves of the brain and the body seem to have become numb, and the whole person seems to have fallen into a foggy dream, and the whole body is fluttering, and there is no longer any feeling.

"Little layman, wake up!" In the soft shout of the old Taoist, Yang Yi finally opened his eyes, just in time to see the old Taoist standing in front of him, smiling.

"I'm asleep?" Yang Yi was stunned to find that he seemed to have just gotten up from the mud, his whole body was covered with a foul-smelling liquid that was about to dry up, and the Tianxiu in his mouth had already been extinguished, leaving half of the burnt cigarette holder, and the hot pain on his lips meant that the cigarette butt was automatically burned and extinguished by him.

"Not bad." The old Taoist priest nodded and smiled: "I originally thought that the little monk was just physically strong, but I didn't expect that his endurance was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he could sleep in this kind of pain." ”

"Is it done?" Yang Yilao's face was slightly red, embarrassed to say that he was in pain and fell asleep, no one would believe it when he said it, got up and said, "It feels like a dream." ”

Just as he got up and stretched, there was a slight popping sound all over his body, and an indescribable feeling of comfort spread throughout his body.

"I really want to grow taller?" Yang Yi was originally only a little more than 1.8 meters tall, but now he feels that he seems to be a little taller, and he can't tell if it's his own delusion. But the only thing he was sure of was that his gradually lost strength had returned, and it was beyond his peak, and the feeling I had in the world almost made him roar out loud.

"Now we're just the first step." The old Taoist priest smiled: "You go take a bath first, Mingyue has already prepared the hot water." Next, massage and massage will be performed to help you move the qi and blood in the meridians you have just dredged! ”

"Thank you!" Yang Yi was also polite, so he went to the bathroom naked and went to the bathroom under the leadership of Mingyue, who had a beautiful red face.

In the bathroom, there was a large wooden bucket large enough to hold three or five people, filled with freshly boiled hot water, and the heat was rising, which made people feel comfortable at the sight of it.

"Then the master, you can do it yourself, and the change of clothes and pants is next to you." Mingyue didn't want to stay in the bathroom for a long time, so she lowered her head and left the bathroom quickly, for fear of taking one more look at Yang Yi's strong body that made people blush and heartbeat.

Yang Yi didn't pay much attention to it, and after quickly cleaning up his body, he changed into the coarse sermon robe prepared for him by Mingyue, except for the shirt and coat, the previous clothes and pants were all stained with those fishy liquids, and he couldn't wear them anymore, so he had no choice but to temporarily become a 'Taoist priest' of the Taoist temple.

The next relaxation of muscles and blood is much simpler, the old Taoist priest looks extremely thin, but the strength of his hands is amazingly heavy. The place where his palms and fingers have been pinched and massaged will come from an indescribable sourness. After that, a feeling of hot warmth rises. According to Yang Yi, if the old Taoist priest goes to Yinan to open an authentic massage, he will definitely make a lot of money.

After all was completed, Yang Yi felt refreshed, looking at his body as thin as before, but the power contained in it was a notch higher, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, and looked left and right in the mirror for a long time, until Mingyue notified him outside the door that it was time to eat.

The meals in the Taoist temple are very simple, they are all some vegetables grown by the old Taoist priest himself, but Yang Yi belongs to the kind of person who has no meat and is not happy, so he barely ate two bowls and said that he was full. Seeing that the sky had darkened, he couldn't help but say, "Dao Chief, if I can, now I want to leave with Mingyue." Because I do have a lot of mundane things in Yinan, I really can't afford to delay too much time. ”

The old Taoist priest put down his chopsticks and smiled: "Of course you can!" I had already instructed Mingyue to pack up and salute, and you can leave at any time. ”

Mingyue's eyes turned red again, and she couldn't help but sob: "Master, Mingyue...... Mingyue can't bear you! ”

"Gathering and scattering! It is enough for you and me to have more than ten years of fate. The old Taoist priest lovingly put the sandalwood rosary he was wearing on Mingyue's wrist and smiled: "Besides, in the future, as long as you are free, you can come back to see me at any time." Remember, enlightenment does not happen overnight, and everything must be arranged by your new master. ”
