Chapter 108: The Secret Blessing of the Rokka
Is there a moment where you wish everything could be solved with medication?
When you're unhappy, you wish there was a medicine that would make you happy.
You've even thought more than once when you're learning a foreign language how nice it would be if you could master that language if you swallowed it!
All of this is possible in the Land of Heavy Demons, where the most skilled sorcerers can craft all kinds of potions.
Although the Demon Capital does not produce potions, Qinyoucheng, another city far from the Demon City, is the largest potion production area in the entire Demon Land.
Every day, a steady stream of potions will be transported from Qinyou City to the Demon Capital, including trauma medicines, various poisons, etc., and many things that mortals can't do can be solved by relying on potions.
No further ado. Last time, Wang Mu knew that he would not be able to leave here for a while, so he had the idea of learning the language here.
If you are not familiar with the place, if you don't understand the language, it is easy to cause misunderstandings, and there will be a lot of unnecessary troubles. But since he was a child, Wang Mu's biggest headache is learning foreign languages, he is a top student in school, but English back then was his long-term hard injury.
He could have been admitted to a better university, but his 30 points in English instantly lowered him a notch. In his words, he was not born to study the subject of languages.
Yan Ghost gave Wang Mu an idea, as long as he took the language pill, he could be proficient in the language here without deliberately studying.
Wang Mu was overjoyed when he heard this, this is exactly what he has always dreamed of! He immediately decided to buy the language pill.
There are two largest potion dealers in the Demon Capital City, one is Tianhe Pharmacy and the other is Quxing Pharmacy.
Tianhe is the Lin family as the backstage, and is run by Lin Moyang's second son, Lin Fuxing. Although Lin Fuxing is not strong in soul, he has a bright mind and a strong business acumen. The Lin family can make a lot of money every year just by relying on this Tianhe pharmacy.
Besides, the Quxing Pharmacy, needless to say, is naturally opened by another big family, the Qu family, and is directly operated by Qu Furen. Qu Furen is suspicious, although he has three sons, he is not willing to share the inheritance with them, and everything must be handled personally. It's just that because the second son has a very high medical talent, he reluctantly stayed in the store and became a pharmacist.
As for the other potions dealers, there is no need to say much, they are all affiliated with these two masters, and the potions are also taken from these two places. And the language pills that Wang Mu needs are only available in these two big pharmacies!
Knowing the situation here, Wang Mu pondered for a moment and decided that it was better to go to Quxing Pharmacy. After all, he had some friction with Lin Shaojun of the Lin family, and it would inevitably be a little embarrassing if he put it on.
Quxing Pharmacy is not far from the hotel where Wang Mu and the others lived, just two streets away. A few minutes later, Wang Mu and the three of them appeared at the door of Quxing Pharmacy.
Just looking at the conspicuous signboard Wang Mu, it is not difficult to see the pomp and circumstance of this composer. I saw that this signboard was inlaid with all kinds of strange gems, although Wang Mu didn't know those characters, but he knew that it was from everyone's handwriting.
Before entering the pharmacy, a strange fragrance wafted into the nostrils of several people, this smell was intoxicating, and people walked in involuntarily.
As soon as the three of them entered the door, a middle-aged man said before he could speak: "The two demon beasts are healthy, but there seems to be something wrong with the young man's body in the middle!" ”
Wang Mu naturally knew that he was talking about himself, but he didn't think so, in his consciousness, those quacks were the best at being able to say that there was nothing, and what was white was black.
"Let's buy the language pill!" Yan Ghost stepped forward and said for Wang Mu.
The middle-aged man glanced at Wang Mu and said, "It turns out that he came from outside, which is rare." No one has come to buy the language pill for many years, I don't know if there are any more, I'll look for it for you. ”
With that, the middle-aged man turned around and walked up to the attic, where Wang Mu and the three of them sat and waited quietly. Taking advantage of this moment, Yan Ghost asked, "The medicine master just now said that you seem to be sick, what is going on?" ”
Wang Mu smiled and said, "Your pharmacists here are equivalent to doctors or doctors in our world, and the words of these people are the most untrustworthy!" They like to be alarmist the most, and they want you to buy more medicine to make them happy. ”
Yan Ghost stopped talking, but the little fox glanced at Wang Mu and frowned, as if something was wrong.
After a few moments, there was a "click" sound on the stairs, and the middle-aged man slowly walked down from it, still holding a dusty box in his hand.
"What is this?" Yan Ghost asked, pointing to the box in the middle-aged man's hand.
The middle-aged man brushed his palm over the box, used his soul power to clean up the dust on the box, and then gently opened the box, only to see two identical pills lying inside.
"This is the language pill!" The middle-aged man explained, "No one has bought a language pill for decades, the last time was a few decades ago when a man suddenly broke into this place and bought one, and since then no one has cared about this language pill again!" ”
The middle-aged man took one out of the box and handed it to Wang Mu, who frowned and glanced at the pill, but did not take it in a hurry.
"Don't worry, it's not poisonous, I will never do anything wrong, if you can rest assured, you can't eat it!" The middle-aged man said sternly.
Wang Mu didn't think about it anymore, took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp, and instantly felt that countless strange symbols in his brain were emerging like movie subtitles.
After a while, Wang Mu slowly opened his eyes and said softly, "It's really magical!" Wang Mu actually said this sentence in the language of the Demon Capital!
"Hahaha......." The middle-aged man laughed heartily a few times, and then asked, "I don't know where this brother came from?" ”
Wang Mu said slowly: "Another world! ”
Who knew that when Wang Mu said this, the middle-aged man was not surprised, but raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it?" And so it was! ”
"What do you mean?" Wang Mu asked suspiciously.
The middle-aged man got up and said, "Come with me!" ”
Wang Mu and the three of them followed the middle-aged man to the backyard of the pharmacy full of doubts, where few people would come on weekdays. Stopped in front of a wall relief.
"What are you bringing us here?" Wang Mu asked.
The middle-aged man did not answer, but reached out and pressed on the wall, and a piece of the wall instantly sank down. The middle-aged man reached in and pulled out a book from the gap.
Wang Mu looked at the book, and the feeling was familiar to him: "This is?" ”
The middle-aged man handed the book to Wang Mu and said, "This is something that belongs to you!" ”
Wang Mu didn't take the book, but looked at the middle-aged man suspiciously. He had only come to buy the language pill, but now it seemed that there was still a lot of things he needed to know.
Seeing that Wang Mu was a little suspicious, the middle-aged man explained: "More than twenty years ago, a man suddenly appeared in the magic capital and was rescued by me after being seriously injured. Later, according to him, he was robbed because he had cultivated forbidden arts, and then he gave me the book, and then I don't know where it went, and I haven't seen him since. Just tell me before he leaves, if someone from that world comes over one day and asks me to give the book to that person! ”
"The man he's talking about is ......." Wang Mu said thoughtfully.
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "It's you!" The first time I saw you, I thought you were similar to that person! ”
Wang Mu has no doubt that there is him, if what this middle-aged man said is right, that mysterious person should be the person who has cultivated the magic trick in Zhang's mouth. It's just that he didn't expect that person to escape to the land of heavy demons as well. It seems that everything has its own arrangement.
After taking the book, Wang Mu didn't open it in a hurry, there were many people here, and he was afraid of accidents. Still, I decided to go back to the hotel and study the book carefully.
Back at the pharmacy, Wang Mu asked the middle-aged man, "I don't know how many beast pills are needed for that language pill?" ”
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "No need." Remember what I said earlier, there is something wrong with your body. I will definitely be ill within three days, and when the time comes, just come here to find me, my name is Qu Jingtong, and I am the second son of the Qu family. ”
Wang Mu smiled in his heart, didn't take Qu Jingtong's words to heart, just bowed his respects, and then walked out quickly.
"Stinky boy, what's that? Show me. The little fox said that, he would reach out and grab it.
Wang Mu put the book into his arms, and then said, "You little girl, what are you calling nonsense?" ”
Who knew that the little fox pouted and said, "I'm more than a thousand years old, and you're just a hairy boy, isn't it right for me to call you a stinky boy?" ”
Wang Mu was right to think about it, so he no longer had a verbal dispute with him.
Back at the hotel, Wang Mu locked himself in his room and took out the book to study carefully. As soon as he saw this book, Wang Mu associated it with the magic and ghost recipe at first sight, and the two books were too imaginary!
Wang Mu still had palpitations about the last time he had a magic trick, although he had a lot of hole cards, but it also brought him endless trouble.
Wang Mu breathed a long sigh of relief, and then made a lot of determination, slowly opened the book, and wrote a few big characters on the title page of the book, "Liujia Secret Wishes".
The so-called Liujia secret wish is the Taoist nine-character mantra often said by the folk, also known as the Mystery Nine Characters.
Liujia Secret Blessing is a spell made by the nine characters of "those who are fighting in the army, all moving forward in array". Enter the famous mountain, on the day of expulsion with Jiazi, with five colors of silk five inches each, hang on the big stone, and you will get what you want. It is also said that it is advisable to know the secret blessing of Liujia when entering the mountain. Zhu said, the soldiers are all moving forward in array. All nine words, often as a secret blessing, all-encompassing. If you don't have to worry about it, that's what you say.
The nine-character mantra is not only to memorize the mantra, but more importantly, to be accompanied by a handprint. The nine seals are the Monopoly Seal, the Donkey Kong Wheel Seal, the Outer Lion Seal, the Inner Lion Seal, the Outer Binding Seal, the Inner Binding Seal, the Wisdom Fist Seal, the Sun Wheel Seal, and the Aquarius Seal.
Wang Mu roughly flipped through it and was deeply shocked by the content of the book. According to what is said in the book, the power of the Rokko Secret Blessing is no weaker than that of the gods and ghosts.
At the end of the book, it is recorded that the Divine Ghost Technique, the Liujia Secret Blessing and the Technique of Ginseng are known as the three forbidden techniques of Taoism. Either way, anyone who practices this art will be doomed.
Wang Mu put down the book, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time, in this way, he already has two of the three forbidden techniques, and if this is known by the superiors, he will definitely die.
And now, the top of ten* already knows, after all, those old guys in the sky claim to be omniscient and omnipotent, and they must also know what is happening in the land of heavy demons.
It's just that Wang Mu miscalculated, the land of heavy demons is the last piece of demonic land in the Six Realms. Even if the Heavenly Realm knows that this place exists, it can't control it, and if it does, it should be the human realm and the demon realm to govern together and develop peacefully.
Wang Mu secretly decided in his heart to learn the things in the book as soon as possible, and then destroy the book. Even if you learn it, you can't easily reveal it to outsiders.
Thinking like this, Wang Mu's heart relaxed a lot. He took some time to carefully assemble the mantras and mudras in the book.
In the blink of an eye, in the afternoon, Wang Mu was a little hungry alone, he didn't know why he was so hungry here, you must know that when he was in Xijing City, he wouldn't feel anything if he didn't eat for several days.
But thinking of the strange food here, Wang Mu suddenly lost his appetite. He misses his friends a little, and he doesn't know what happened to Liu Xia and Liu Xin.
"Stinky boy, it's time to eat!" The voice of the little fox came from the door again, and Wang Mu didn't have any feelings for the little fox. But this girl's mouthful of a stinky boy made Wang Mu very unhappy.
"Knock knock—"
Listening to the sound of no time in Wang Mu's room, the little fox knocked louder. I almost smashed the door. Fortunately, the buildings in this magic capital are all special materials, if it were those in the mortal world, they would have been smashed to pieces by the little fox a few times.
Wang Mu was annoyed by this noise, and returned angrily: "Here, don't knock!" ”
Walking out of the room, Wang Mu saw that the little fox and the ghost were already waiting outside the door. Wang Mu glared at the little fox fiercely, and then walked downstairs, and the little fox followed behind him and said unrelentingly: "What do you mean, stinky boy, I kindly asked you to eat, why do you have such an attitude!" ”
Wang Mutou didn't reply, which made the little fox feel even more aggrieved, so he complained to the Yan ghost beside him: "What kind of person, look at him! ”
Who knew that the Yan ghost didn't say anything, and walked downstairs with a cold face. Only then did the little fox react, this ghost was Wang Mu's follower, and suing him was tantamount to suing his son against his father, and it had no effect at all.
When the little fox went downstairs, Wang Mu and Yan Ghost were already sitting at the table, only to see the two of them holding chopsticks in their hands, staring at the food on the table expressionlessly, but they didn't move.
"You're welcome, you're welcome!" The little fox said with a smile.
Wang Mu turned his face and asked helplessly, "You did all this?" ”
The little fox nodded and said, "Well, it took me hours to eat, don't thank me." ”
The corners of Wang Mu's mouth moved, and he wanted to say something but didn't say it, because when he saw the little fox's sincere smile, he remembered Liu Xin and Su Yue.
Without speaking again, Wang Mu picked up a piece of meat that had been burned into black charcoal and swallowed it in his mouth, frowned and chewed a few bites before quickly swallowing it.
The little fox eagerly wanted Wang Mu to evaluate her craftsmanship: "How is it, is it delicious?" ”
Wang Mu smiled bitterly and said, "It's delicious, it's delicious." After that, Wang Mu turned his head to look at the Yan Ghost and said, "You eat quickly, you are big, you need to make up for it, these are all yours." ”
Yan Ghost is not a fool, he can guess the taste by looking at the color of the dish, he glanced at Wang Mu with a bitter face, let him eat these is more fatal than letting him go to a fight.
"Eat quickly, little fox, let's not let people down."
Wang Mu said that we were in his mouth, but he poured all the dishes into the Yan Ghost's plate, and a black hill instantly piled up in the Yan Ghost's bowl.
Yan Ghost and Wang Mu looked at each other, and then had a tragic expression of a hero going to righteousness. Wang Mu nodded slightly and gave Yan Ghost spiritual support.
The three of them had eaten like this, talking and laughing, and the little fox didn't know how good her cooking was, she only knew that Yan Ghost hadn't eaten since then.
