The Queen Mother's screams became lower and lower, and the emperor was still asking what "skin poison" was, but gradually stopped talking. In the thick black mist, there was a steady and slow footstep echoing in everyone's eardrums, tapping and tapping, from far to near. At such an urgent moment, he walked like a leisurely stroll, reached the front hall, and easily pushed open the door of the temple that was forbidden by the demonic power.
The creak of opening the door attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and also shocked the little demon guarding outside. They were about to run in to check the situation, when they saw a thick black mist rushing towards them, which made them lose all their demonic power and paralyze in an instant.
Whether it is the people in the temple or the demons outside the hall, they have no idea about the situation around them, so they can only lie on the ground and wait for the coming fate. After about three quarters of an hour, the fog finally cleared, revealing the true situation inside the mourning hall. The only person who could stand was the ghost doctor, but his current appearance was also very wolf, a pure white brocade robe fluttering under the cold wind, but the exposed skin was dyed with a layer of black color, and it became more and more obvious that his eyes were big and round, and the whites of his eyes were white and bright.
To tell you the truth, he looked a little funny, and if it weren't for the danger, the kings would have laughed on the spot. But they soon found that they were not much better, their bodies were covered with a layer of greasy black water, and there was a faint smell of fish.
Youshu wiped a few handfuls with her sleeves, and made herself more and more like a big cat, and then ran to the master's side and helped him to sit up. When the king saw the back of his black hand, he hurriedly wiped his face, but saw the young man take out a handkerchief from his arms and carefully wipe it for him.
"What is this?" He used his fingertips to wipe the smudge from the tip of the boy's nose.
"This is skin poison, a kind of elixir, specially used to make zuò demon Yuan Dan." Youshu cleaned up the master, and then continued to take care of himself, "If it fuses with demonic power or demonic poison, it will quickly turn into a black mist." This mist cannot be absorbed by humans, so it is harmless. But it's not the same with youkai. As long as you take a small sip, even a five- or six-hundred-year-old demon will lose its demonic power in an instant and be paralyzed like mud. But in fact, their demonic power still exists, but it is absorbed by the black mist and forcibly merged into the demon core, and after two or three hours, the mist is slowly metabolized, and the demonic power is restored. ”
The more Shu said, the brighter her eyes became, and there was a hint of joy in her tone, "Put the corpse of the monster and the demon Yuan Dan into the furnace together to refine the demon core with the purest and surging demon power." Ordinary demon cores cannot be absorbed by warlocks due to energy mixture, but the demon cores that have been refined by the Demon Yuan Pill are better used than high-grade spirit stones, and absorbing one can increase the Dao for at least a hundred years. It's a pity that I only found one herb, skin poison, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted it. ”
King Yu patted the top of his hair and comforted, "I'll help you find any medicinal materials that are still missing." Heaven and earth are so vast that they will be found one day. ”
Youshu nodded happily, feeling that the ground was too cold, so she hurriedly picked up the master, placed him on the soft chair where the Queen Mother was sitting before, and stuffed a fire talisman for heating in his arms by the way, and finally hugged his head and took a bite. The vassal kings were still lying on the ground and suffering, and when they saw that the ghost doctor was so considerate to Lao Qi, they were both envious and a little gloating. Look at the ghost doctor's spoiled expression, but it turned out that he regarded Lao Qi as a pet. For the throne, Lao Qi's sacrifice is really big enough, what is the position of the princess, it sounds good to say, and it is not the one who was suppressed!
Catching a glimpse of the expressions of the brothers, the corners of the Emperor's forehead twitched, but in the end he did not explain. The selfishness of the bed, as long as they are happy with each other, is not enough for outsiders.
"Master Ghost Doctor, since you and Lao Qi are safe and sound, we will definitely be able to unravel the toxins on our bodies, right? What happened just now, please help us to explain. One of the vassal kings asked respectfully. In fact, not only the black fog that appeared inexplicably, but there were many things they didn't understand. It's understandable that Fourteen wanted to kill them all, but why did he turn his father's corpse into blood? The Queen Mother is in her fifties, why can she split the bronze coffin lid with one palm, and still pick up the body of her father with one hand?
These two people are more mysterious than the other, one is more crazy than the other, fortunately, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and no matter how crazy they are, they can't be crazy about the ghost doctor. Banning a city with the edict of the underworld, and fishing out the Cangzhou Mansion that should have fallen into the blood curse with all the mustaches and tails, such means can be called against the sky. Trying to play tricks in front of him is tantamount to getting an axe in the class.
No wonder the Queen Mother will take him out of the palace, no wonder! At this time, the vassal kings realized that their act of letting the ghost doctor stay and worship was tantamount to saving their own lives, otherwise this catastrophe would not have been avoided today.
Where is Shu, who has time to detoxify the kings. This demon poison will only make people temporarily paralyzed, and it will not die, so it will be fine in a few hours, and lie down. He patted his master's handsome face and told him to "cover your big hat, don't blow the demon wind", and then walked to the edge of the blood pool and fished out King Jing, who was so frightened.
King Jing only felt an invisible air flow strangled his waist, pulled himself to the palace, and hit several ministers. The minister screamed in pain, but he was unscathed, and before he had time to wipe off the blood on his face, he thanked the ghost doctor in fear. He had already heard about the deeds of this adult in Cangzhou, what kind of living dead flesh and bones, forcing the Holy Maiden of Miao Jiang to death, unraveling the blood curse of the city, he thought that the spies made up myths and stories to deceive themselves, but now he finally understands what it means to be inhuman. If it weren't for the adults, he would have turned into a pool of blood by now.
The kings and the civil and military officials were so frightened that they rested for a while before they recovered, but they saw the ghost doctor walking around the temple, rummaging for the people lying on the ground. But all the people who were taken out by him and piled up together were not stained with a single black stain on their exposed skin.
Some vassal kings and courtiers who were relatively quick to move their brains couldn't help but feel terrified when they thought of the ghost doctor's previous explanation of the black mist. The black mist cannot be absorbed by humans, so it will form water droplets on the surface of the body, in other words, wouldn't these people with normal skin tones inhale the black mist into their bodies? So are they still human?
Hey, the Queen Mother and the Old Fourteen are also soft and fair-skinned, are they monsters? When everyone gasped again and again, the vision really happened, and the "people" who were stacked together by the ghost doctor actually grew things that should not be there one after another, such as fox tails, rabbit ears, colored feathers, goat horns, etc., and their identities were also different, some were harem concubines, some were eunuchs and palace maids, and some were Taoist priests who accompanied their father's alchemy. I don't know when, the palace of Wei has become a demon cave where monsters roam, and if this matter spreads, it will definitely set off an uproar.
Lords, you look at me, I look at you, with a panicked and frightened expression on your face. Only the king was the king, who was circling behind the young man with the big man, and was repeatedly pushed back to the soft chair by him.
"Don't follow me. They have been poisoned by the skin, all the demon power is imprisoned in the demon core, and there is a blood sacrifice formation that has been laid out in advance, if I don't make the best use of it, won't it be wasted? That's why I'm going to slaughter them all and bleed them all and refine them into demonic cores with pure demonic power. The scene is a bit bloody, you stand far away so as not to be frightened. ”
King Yu found that in the eyes of the teenager he was equivalent to a fragile product, which needed to be carefully cared for, and he was angry and funny in his heart. But as soon as he lifted the spell, his body was indeed very weak, and he felt a dry throat after a gust of demonic wind, which inevitably dragged the young man down even more after he became seriously ill, so he had to go back and wait.
Seeing Lao Qi, who was lying on the soft chair, with one hand on his cheek and one hand tapping on the tabletop, looking safe and relaxed, the eyes of all the vassal kings were red, and he shouted in a low voice, "Old Seven, help us to the chair and settle it." It's cold on the ground, it's really uncomfortable! ”
"There's a futon on the ground, why don't you roll it up yourself? The prince is weak, don't disturb him. "Youshu picks monsters while maintaining his master.
What a fucking shit luck! Isn't it just that he has a handsome face, and he actually called the ghost doctor to look at it, without the ghost doctor, the seventh is a fart, and he died of illness eight hundred years earlier! The kings became more and more jealous, but they did not dare to offend the master who was walking around, so they had to move slowly like worms, and it took great effort to climb onto the futon, so that they would not be frozen to the bones by the cold that surged from the ground. King Jing was still lying on top of several ministers, not wanting to move at all. His fief was already the smallest and the weakest, and after this outing, he had already stopped his ambition to compete for the throne and planned to attach himself to Lao Qi. Attaching to Lao Qi is equivalent to attaching to the ghost doctor, and the odds of winning are at least eighty percent, and the merits of the dragon are indispensable.
Looking at it, there is no problem with being like an African, and the pale skin must be a monster, and there is no doubt that Shu walked all the way to pick up dozens of people. He slowly walked over to King Li's side and said in a deep voice, "Give it to me." ”
King Li pressed his wife under him, his expression guarded.
"She's a monster." Youshu nodded a fox tail exposed under Princess Li's skirt.
"She is also poisoned and unable to move, this matter must have nothing to do with her, and I ask the ghost doctor to spare her life." King Liwang lowered his body and pleaded.
"How do you know that she was poisoned and couldn't move, what if she was pretending? When the Queen Mother throws you into the blood pool one by one to refine into dragon qi, she may be ecstatic to spit out the demon core and suck it up. ”
"The king wants to believe in her. She is innocent. Liwang hugged the people below him tighter.
Youshu is not interested in the life and death of others, since this person is obsessed, what to do to save him, so he walked towards the other monster and said lightly, "Even if she is innocent, but she is a monster, she needs to suck yang energy, if you combine with her, I am afraid that there will be a few years to live." ”
King Li's eyes flashed slightly, and he noticed that his wife was trembling, and his face was firm. With a monster princess, he has no chance with that position, but when his father is buried, he will lead his wife and children far away, and he will never return to Beijing again in this life.
Unexpectedly, Princess Li turned out to be a vixen, and everyone was terrified, you look at me, I look at you, and her eyes are full of doubt and rejection. When Youshu rummaged through the pile, the toxicity of the skin poison became deeper and deeper, and the little monsters could no longer maintain their human form at all, and several big demons also showed their flaws.
"Too, the Queen Mother is also a vixen! She's got a fox tail! I don't know who shouted, and everyone looked at the Queen Mother lying in the corner, only to see a fluffy tail poking out of the skirt behind her, swaying from side to side uncontrollably.
"I didn't expect the old fourteen to be a monster. However, he was born to the Queen Mother, and he already had the blood of monsters in his body. One of the vassal kings sneered.
The Eight Winds did not move at this time, and then he raised his eyebrows, walked to the emperor's side, who suddenly grew fox ears and tail, and lowered his eyes to take a closer look. To tell the truth, because he inherited the beauty of the Queen Mother and shed the blood of the spirit, the emperor's appearance is very handsome and feminine, and now he has a pair of pure white furry ears, which looks very cute. At this time, he forced out a few tears, looking at his brother with pleading eyes, trying to control the other party with the fox demon's unique charm technique.
He is a half-demon, and the demon core is not complete, so the demon yuan flows in and slowly leaks a few traces out, and he can still use a few mana. As if bewitched, the cold expression suddenly softened, and he slowly stretched out his palm and stroked the emperor's smooth cheeks.
The old seven fell for the witchcraft! The vassal kings were shocked at first, and then their hearts were happy. Dare to tease others in front of the ghost doctor, and wait to fall out of favor! However, the next moment, King Yu had already grabbed the emperor's ear, tore it off, and said softly, "Old Fourteen, you just stepped on those few feet, are you happy?" ”
The emperor covered his ears and screamed, his eyes full of resentment. Youshu, who had already run over quickly, ready to throw a few talismans and burn the emperor to ashes, hurriedly stopped his steps, pretending to wave his sleeves freely and uninhibitedly, "Do it dirty your hands." Go back and sit down, I'll take care of them. ”
The king glanced at him with a smirk, and then pointed to his chest, which had risen and fallen from the violent running, before walking back and sitting down. Youshu's roots were red, and she secretly blamed herself for not trusting her master enough, so she kicked the emperor aside and began to deal with a bunch of monsters that had completely revealed their original form.
He first picked up a mouse and repeatedly gestured with a dagger to his neck, as if he was about to put blood into the pool, but he heard the emperor taunt, "The famous ghost doctor is nothing more than that, and he is ready to cut the flesh of the monster with an ordinary dagger." I tell you that even if you put us all down, it won't hurt us in the slightest. When the monster advances, it is necessary to temper the physique, and it cannot be cut with a fur knife, and water and fire will not invade it......"
Before he finished speaking, Youshu had already cut the throat of the rat demon neatly, bled into the pool, and finally threw the shriveled corpse into it. The Emperor then showed a look of fear, and stammered, "You, what kind of dagger are you?" ”
"It's called Demon Punishment." Youshu picked up a pheasant and continued to bleed, "You are so confused, you almost sacrificed your own blood." With so much dragon energy and national power, how much have you absorbed? What's good for your broken core? You were born to be a pawn of the Queen Mother, and sooner or later you will be killed by it, and you will still have a 'we'. It has never treated you like a kind. ”
Now that everyone's life and death are in the hands of the ghost doctor, there is no need for him to coax himself with words. As if realizing something, the emperor looked at a fox as big as a calf in the queen mother's court clothes. The fox had a fierce look in his eyes and roared lowly, without a trace of remorse.
The emperor sat down in a state of despair, and all thoughts were lost.
At the same time, Youshu was picking up the youkai one by one to bleed, and seemed to think that it was too troublesome to do so, so he simply pushed all the youkai in and threw down a few gale talismans. There was a whistling sound in the hall, and a strong whirlwind stirred back and forth in the pool, and the wind blade was like a blade, cutting a living creature to pieces, and throwing specks of blood.
Except for the King and the Ghost Doctor, who were protected by an invisible barrier, the rest of them were drenched in a rain of blood, and their robes stained with red spots lined with pitch-black complexion, making them look more and more wolf-like. But they didn't dare to complain, just because the ghost doctor's methods were too vicious and treacherous. If he moves the killing intent, a few talismans thrown out can destroy the people of the city.
Is it really voluntary for Lao Qi to be with him? Everyone looked at King Yu, and suddenly felt that he was actually quite pitiful, and he usually didn't even dare to speak loudly, right?
Youshu crushed all the monsters, felt the little scorpion in the neck socket suddenly come to life, crawled along the hem of the clothes to the ground, and lit the huge bronze coffin with a small chelicera. Youshu thought for a while, looked around the coffin repeatedly, and finally dragged out a rock-like black scorpion from the bottom of the mezzanine.
The fox spirit that the Queen Mother had turned into before had been practicing Taoism for five hundred years, so he took it for granted that it was the main messenger, but it turned out that this scorpion was the real demon king, and he had already taken advantage of the black fog to hide at the bottom of the coffin. If the little scorpion fails to find it, after a few hours, its demonic power will be unsealed, and I am afraid that it will escape without a trace. There are still a few strands of cloth hanging on its tail needle, and judging from the material, it should be a Taoist priest who made alchemy for the Emperor Taishang.
This scorpion was not only poisoned by the skin, but also had severe internal injuries, which should be the culprit who put the curse on the master. Youshu took out the dagger, dried its blood in three or two, and dug out the demon core and threw it into the blood pool, and finally put a pair of hard outer armor at the feet of the master, and said flatteringly, "I said that I would cut off its head for you to sit on as a stool, but its head is too hard and uncomfortable to sit on, so it is just right to use it as a pedal." ”
King Yu shook his head and smiled, and poked the young man's looming little pear vortex.
As he spoke, bubbles began to bubble in the pool, and the Blood Sacrifice Formation activated. Youshu hurriedly sat on the edge of the pool and pinched the magic tricks, refining all the demon cores one by one. The poor scorpion essence is still ready to win the thousand-year-old Dao in one fell swoop, so as to prolong his life for another thousand years, and when the Ziwei Emperor Star is reincarnated again, he will rearrange the "Nine Dragons Picking Stars" formation, but he is followed by such a strange person, and he can easily break the game.
Ziwei Emperor Star is really lucky, not everyone can move.
The resentment of the demons and the blood qi fused together, turning into a sky-high evil qi, and all of them were absorbed by the demon core, and after two hours, the blood pool was clean, and only many black gems were shining. With Shu Guang's sleeve, the gem flew to his palm, making a crisp collision sound.
He was like a child who had received a novelty toy, this one picked it up and looked at it, and the other one was put on the tip of his nose to sniff, and then he shook it a few times at the king of the Emperor, looking extremely happy. The king took him into his arms and kneaded him, a smile on his face.
Several other vassal kings, along with civil and military officials, had already lifted the effect of the medicine, but they did not dare to leave without permission, so they had to stand aside and wait patiently. Do you want to do my father's funeral? Do you want to do the funeral of the Queen Mother? What should the old fourteen who was lucky enough to survive because of the damage of the demon core? These need to be consulted with the ghost doctor before they can be decided. Since Princess Li is a monster, will there be monsters around her? Afterwards, I had to ask the adults to go to the house to have a look.
Because there were many things in their hearts, everyone's faces were a little ugly, and they waited for a quarter of an hour before seeing the ghost doctor put the demon core into the blanket and led the king to leave the mourning hall first. Everyone hurriedly followed, and on the way, they found many animals lying on the side of the road, wearing the regular clothes of eunuchs, palace maids, and guards, which should be the little minions of the scorpion spirit. Youshu saw a mending knife, and it was gradually clean after walking out for hundreds of meters.
But this does not mean that there are no monsters in the palace, it can only be said that the mist of skin poison cannot spread farther, and if you want to completely drive them away, you have to find a few more plants to smoke them. However, these things have nothing to do with Youshu, he only worries about the master's body. Today I was frightened and windy, so I had to hurry home and cook him a bowl of ginger soup to drink-
The funeral of the Emperor Taishang had to be continued, and the obituary of the Queen Mother was also sent out, and the funeral was carried out with the Emperor. The emperor has fallen ill because of too much thought, and he is afraid that he will follow his father and mother in the near future. Recently, the atmosphere in the palace has been really tense, and many palace maids and eunuchs have disappeared inexplicably, and frequent mistakes have occurred in funerals due to lack of manpower.
But there is also good news that the vassal kings, who are still fighting like black-eyed chickens, are extremely friendly, especially for the servant king, and there is a little sympathy in the respect. In order to seize the throne, his sacrifice was too great, and he was willing to sell his beauty and body, and he was really ruthless enough to himself. The ghost doctor has extraordinary abilities, so I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with in bed, right?
After thinking about it, the ghost doctor had already led the king into the mourning hall and placed him on a soft chair, thinking that the cushion was not thick and soft enough, and added a few more layers, as if he was afraid of touching the "wound" behind him. The eyes of the vassal kings changed, and they finally calmed down.
"Old Seven, I'm afraid I had a hard time last night, right?" King Qi said in a low voice.
The horns of the king's forehead twitched, but he didn't explain, so he had to laugh dryly. King Qi thought that his guess was right, so he didn't want to be more comfortable in his heart, and continued, "When my father is buried, our brothers will go back to their fiefdoms, and you will stay to take care of the old fourteen, and help him deal with government affairs by the way." The meaning of the words is self-evident, that is, let him stay and ascend the throne.
King Yu had no interest in the supreme position, and hurriedly waved his hand to refuse. He would rather take Youshu around to play in the mountains and rivers than be trapped in the imperial city. But others only thought he was pretending and didn't take it seriously. When the fourteenth prince died violently and could not find a successor, everyone found out that the king of Yu had run away with the ghost doctor.
The kings immediately raised their banners and rushed to the capital, and after a lot of scuffle, they had the ambition to avoid the domain of the king of Yu. King Yu is protected by gods, no matter who ascends the throne, he has to provide for him well, how dare he touch a hair? In the end, the king of Qi won the victory, and it took seven years to sit on the throne, killing and degrading several brothers. The courtiers also strongly advocated the reduction of the feudal domain, and asked the emperor to take back the main power of all the feudal lands, but they did not seem to see the huge two rivers, and did not mention it at all.
The stunned Qing who had just entered the court thought that this was a good opportunity to express his appearance, and wrote a recital overnight to impeach King Yun, thinking that he would be reused, but he unexpectedly scared the emperor so much that his face turned white, and he was pulled out for a good beating. Since then, Liangjiang and King Yu have become forbidden words, and no one dares to mention them again.
