Chapter 1: After the Great War
Teacher, it's time to take your medicine. โ
"I don't take medicine! I'm healthy!"
Seeing the teacher screaming and running back to the bedroom, turning into a bird and burrowing into the quilt, Pan Long shook his head helplessly, and put the pot of dark green medicinal soup in his hand that was still bubbling with strange green smoke on the table beside him.
A breeze and a little green smoke blew in front of him, his eyebrows furrowed, and his nostrils naturally closed, keeping the smell out. He also made a cover with true qi and covered all the medicinal smells inside, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you don't take medicine, the disease will get better very slowly. He said, "This is the healing medicine that the two immortals of Lanling and Lie Yukou have teamed up to help you concoct, which can repair the soul." You were forced to fight with all your strength when your vitality was greatly damaged, especially in the end, you used the Shaking Light Bow and Star Scattering Arrow to damage your soul, so that you injured the foundation of your soul, and you got this disease. โ
"Now you either go devour the soul or take the medicine. I wouldn't mind catching some damn people for you, but you say you're a picky eater. Now I don't even want to take medicine...... Are you going to cultivate for a few hundred years?"
Bi Lingkong's screams came from the clumped quilt: "Anyway, I just won't take it! That medicine is so bitter, the two of them must have taken the opportunity to bully me, so they deliberately made the medicine so bitter! The elixir made by Wen Er back then was all fragrant and sweet! There are also corn, apple, and banana flavors!"
Pan Long sighed: "Wen Chao has been dead for thousands of years, where can I find him to help you make the elixir now? Are they playing so big just to bully you this time?"
"Of course!" Bi Lingkong said in a heartfelt voice, "They are all defeated by my men, and they will definitely take revenge if they find an opportunity!"
"If you really want to retaliate, your strength is greatly damaged now, and you will definitely not be able to beat the two of them. Wouldn't it be more simply for them to join forces and beat you up?"
"You don't understand, they are all readers, and readers are just bad!"
"Teacher, you're also a reader!"
"I'm not a human, I'm a bird!"
Pan Long was helpless and could only shake his head.
At this moment, with a gust of breeze, Lie Yukou appeared in the living room of the bamboo building.
He looked a little tired, first nodded to Pan Long, and then noticed the casserole medicinal soup that Pan Long had placed on the table, and immediately frowned.
"Bi Niao'er refuses to take medicine again?"
Pan Long smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Damn!" Lie Yukou suddenly became angry, and roared angrily in the direction of the bedroom, "Bi Niao'er, you are an old person, is it interesting to learn that children are afraid of hardship and don't take medicine?"
"That medicine is really bitter!" Bi Lingkong seemed a little lacking in confidence, but he still replied.
"What about the bitterness?" said Lie Yukou angrily, "Do you know how many treasures are boiled in this pot of medicine?" I admit that it tastes a little unpleasant, and it may not taste very pleasant to drink, but it can heal your soul damage!"
"But it's so bad!"
Lie Yukou looked at Pan Long, Pan Long smiled bitterly and nodded, withdrawing the true qi that shrouded the medicinal soup, and a slight green smoke rose, which quickly reached their noses.
Lie Yukou closed his eyes, his face twitched, and he hurriedly grabbed his hand, his true anger was like a cover, and he covered all these smells.
"Why does this thing smell like this?" he asked, using the method of sound transmission.
Pan Long also replied: "The younger generation doesn't know, but after boiling the medicine to the second boil, it began to smell a little." The younger generation followed the instructions and boiled the medicine thirteen times, and boiled one medicine into this pot of soup, and the result was like this. โ
Lie Yukou hesitated for a moment, stretched out his finger and dipped a little medicinal soup, and then put it in his mouth and sucked it.
Then his entire face distorted, revealing an expression that didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
After a long time, he relieved his breath, and this time he didn't transmit a sound, and asked directly: "This medicine...... How many times has she drunk?"
"Today is the second time. โ
โ...... No wonder she wouldn't drink. Lie Yukou sighed, "I'll go and discuss the situation in Lanling." If I keep drinking this medicine, I'm afraid that my spirit will have problems before I repair it. โ
Before the words fell, I only heard a "bah" scolding, and the figure of Lanling also appeared here.
His clothes were a little torn, and there were signs of injuries on his face, and he looked even more embarrassed than the Imperial Guard. And the anger on his face was even heavier, as if it was about to catch fire.
"What are you all talking nonsense! Good medicine is good for disease, and you have lived so long that you don't even understand such a simple truth?"
Seeing the disapproving eyes of the two, he became more and more annoyed: "Pan Long, go and bring me the medicine residue, I'll chew the medicine residue for you!"
Pan Long was startled and persuaded: "Mr. Lanling, you can taste this medicinal soup, you don't need to chew the medicine residue raw......"
"This medicinal soup is too precious, I drank it and wasted it, just eat some medicinal residue. โ
Lan Ling urged vigorously, and in the end, Pan Long had no choice but to take out the collected medicine residue.
The taste of these medicinal residues is stronger than that of medicinal soup, and the color and shape are also very strange. Just looking at their appearances, no one would have imagined that they were actually the product of a large number of elixirs that can live and die and flesh and bones.
Seeing that the bag of things was being brought over, Lie Yukou cautiously took two steps back.
Lan Lingquan glared at him, then walked over, took the bag of medicine residue from Pan Long, who had already squinted his eyes from the strange smell, opened his mouth expressionlessly, threw it into his mouth piece by piece, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
Pan Long and Lie Yukou both looked at him with shocked and admiring eyes, especially Pan Long, who had even lost his mind for a short time when he was boiling the medicine, knowing how terrifying it was. At this moment, Lanling was able to eat the dregs, it was really omnipotent, terrifying!
Lan Ling's face remained unchanged, and he continued to eat and eat, and after a while, half of the bag of medicine residue was eaten by him.
Then he took out a piece and stuffed it into the mouth of the Imperial Kou with lightning speed.
"You taste it too. He said, "Honestly, it tastes okay." โ
As a result, the figure of Lie Yukou dispersed directly and turned into a clear breeze, but he had already run away before, leaving only a phantom figure here to make up the numbers.
Lan Ling's face remained unchanged, he shook his head, picked up the medicinal soup, and rushed into the bedroom.
"What are you going to do? Help, help, someone's killing wild animals!" Bi Lingkong screamed in horror, but it quickly turned into the sound of gurgling and drinking medicine.
After a while, Lan Ling was gone, leaving a large crow with its feathers faded and its whole body turned gray and white lying on the bed, as if it had turned into stone, and it was motionless.
"Teacher, are you feeling better? I've got some candy here. Pan Long, who had been smiling bitterly for a long time next to him, took out a piece of sugar cube and handed it to her, "Eat something sweet and slow down." โ
Bi Lingkong quickly stretched out his wings, took the sugar cube and threw it into his mouth.
Then she rolled and returned to her usual appearance, but her face was pale and bloodless.
"Aaron, where did you get this candy?, it's so good!" she squinted, enjoying the rich sweet fragrance in her mouth, and smiled happily, "After suffering inhumane torture, being able to eat such a piece of candy feels like I have finally ignited the pursuit of life again......"
"Teacher, are you exaggerating so much?" Pan Long sighed, "I admit that the medicinal soup is indeed very difficult to drink, but in order to cure the disease, no matter how unpleasant it is, you have to drink it." โ
"You don't understand! It's not a problem of being unpleasant...... Bi Lingkong suddenly showed a palpitating look in his heart, and shook his head again and again, "When I drink that medicine, I feel that my soul is being cut apart little by little, stuffed into something soft, and then forcibly bonded with these things...... Anyway, get me a few more pieces of candy, or I'll feel like I'm going to throw up!"
In the end, she ate a lot of sugar cubes, and made a small nest out of them, turned into a little crow, and got into it.
In her words, sleeping among these sugars can make her feel comfortable and have a sweet dream.
Pan Long closed the bedroom door and went back outside to pack his things.
When he was almost fainting from the smoke of the remaining half bag of medicinal residue, he couldn't help but think: "Mr. Lanling is really capable of what people can't, even this kind of thing can be eaten without changing color, it's amazing!"
As everyone knows, at this moment, Lan Lingqing, who had just left with his head held high, was lying on a big stone on the side of the road, motionless.
Next to him, Lie Yukou poked him in the shoulder with a branch: "Hey, are you still alive?"
Lan Lingquan raised a hand, made an insulting gesture, and then the hand hung down, and the whole person seemed to lose his vitality.
Lie Yukou put down the branch and muttered in a low voice: "It's really strange, even if those elixirs are swallowed directly, they won't have such a terrible taste." Why is it that when you put it together, the taste is so mad?"
"It's incredible! It's a pity they're so rare, if there were more of them, they might be able to be used to make poisons for masters......"
At this moment, it is already early June.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Bi Lingkong, the first demon god of Kyushu, led the masters of the hundreds of schools to set up an ambush, and wiped out the protector of the Great Xia Dynasty, King Wucheng, and the masters of the Star Atlas Great Array under his command, and shocked the Quartet.
This battle shook the world, and the Great Xia Dynasty was also shocked for a while, and it was not until the next day that an order was issued to arrest Bi Lingkong and the remnants of the Hundred Schools.
But of course, they couldn't catch any of them, but they caught a lot of people in the green forest who had attacked various towns in Zhongzhou and besieged the masters of the imperial court.
Whether it is Bi Lingkong or the masters of the Hundred Schools of Thought, they are like rain falling into the sea and disappearing without a trace.
The Great Xia Dynasty then announced that His Royal Highness King Wucheng had great merit in the world, and although he was killed by Xiaoxiao, he did not lose his life because of this, but was only seriously injured and needed to recuperate. During his recuperation, the defense of the Shendu and the rest of the work that he was originally responsible for were taken over by the current Prince Emperor Hedong.
This news made many frightened Daxia officials re-relaxed.
As long as King Wucheng is still alive, with the resources of the Great Xia Dynasty, he will definitely be able to help his old man recover. In a few years, this Optimus White Jade Pillar of the Great Xia Dynasty will be able to regain its former strength and shock the Quartet.
In addition, the imperial court is also mobilizing manpower and material resources to repair the Shendu Feitian Mountain, which has been bombarded with a huge gap--the past month or so, almost in the busy investigation and construction.
And Pan Long has been taking care of Bi Lingkong.
Because of her anger before, she desperately used all her strength to urge the power of the arrows that shook the light bow and star, so that her soul was greatly injured and her body was almost destroyed. Fortunately, with the Holy Spirit Pill by her side, at the critical moment, the Holy Spirit Medicine used its magic to repair most of her injuries, and finally avoided the end of the fall.
But even so, she was badly injured.
The physical injuries are not worth mentioning, and the main problem is the soul.
Maybe it's because the sequelae of the Shaking Light Bow Star Scattering Arrows are too great, and her soul is almost broken into a sieve. At the beginning, she was so groggy that she couldn't even say a complete sentence.
Lie Yukou and Lan Lingjing arrived in time and took her and Pan Long to a bamboo building where they could recuperate.
They used up almost all the remaining elixirs before Bi Lingkong could initially wake up. Next, the two of them went their separate ways, looking for all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures, and concocted medicine for Bi Lingkong to treat the wounds of the gods.
Pan Long naturally stayed here to take care of the teacher.
He had considered whether to go to the world of the Book of Mountains and Seas to find a panaceaโbecause there were a lot of dead people in the previous battle, and the aura of the Book of Mountains and Seas was already well stocked and could be opened at any time.
But after much consideration, he gave up on this plan.
The secret of the Classic of Mountains and Seas may be able to be told to the teacher, but it cannot be known to Lanling and Lie Yukou.
The friendship between these two immortals and the teacher seems to be really good, but with him Pan Long...... Anyway, he didn't think that the relationship between them was good enough to entrust this kind of dead family secret.
The main reason is that the teacher's injury has stabilized and is gradually recovering, so he is more relieved, so he is not in a hurry.
The teacher has just made a big news, and he should also cultivate for a while, and it is not a bad thing to hibernate for some time.
Although there were some small accidents - such as the terrible medicinal soup - but overall, the situation on the side of the bamboo building was considered to be going well.
Lie Yukou also told him about the orders issued by the imperial court during this time, and when he heard that the imperial court announced that the emperor was not dead, Pan Long was also very puzzled.
He was sure that after the teacher was shot with five arrows at that time, the Emperor Firmament was definitely dead, dead, and it was impossible to have even a little bit of life.
That feeling of "death" has seeped out of his body, and this feeling is definitely not deceiving!
So, is the Great Xia court lying?
But why did they make up a lie that could be exposed so easily?
Could it be that they just want to stall for time with this lie?
He discussed this matter with Lie Yukou and Lan Lingqing, and the two immortals were noncommittal.
In their eyes, who have long gone beyond the Three Realms and are not in the Five Elements, all the grievances and disputes in the world are just passing moments.
They don't care about the life or death of the Emperor Cangqiong, nor do they care about the rise and fall of Great Xia, all they can care about is the safety of their old friend Bi Lingkong.
