With the female crown feather warrior going up the stone steps of the mountain road, Yao Ping supported Qu Shun and smoothly walked into the mist-shrouded Taoist temple. He raised his eyes under the courtyard and looked into the sky, but saw that in this huge Taoist temple, it was empty, and there was no one in sight.

After the female crown feather warrior led the three to a side hall in the temple, Yao Ping helped Qu Shun to a seat in the side hall to lie flat.

"Bo Ling'er, go get some trauma elixir." After Qu Shun lay down, the female crown feather looked at Qu Shun's injury and suddenly spoke.

"Yes, Uncle Yuxuzi." A childish voice suddenly responded.

Yao Ping looked for the source of the immature voice in a daze, and then he saw a clever and cute little girl running out of the inner room of the side hall. The little girl was wearing a somewhat wide Taoist uniform, and there were two hair balls tied with Taoist scarves on her head, looking like a five or six-year-old Taoist child.

"Dao Chief, your Dao name is Jade Xuzi?" Yao Ping turned to Yuxuzi and asked after seeing the little girl named Bo Ling'er step out of the threshold of the side hall and run out.

Yu Xuzi nodded slightly.

"Jade Void Heavenly Master is really humane, I beg you, you can find a way to save my daughter-in-law quickly, you don't have to worry about my injuries." Qu Shun suddenly sat up from the seat at this time, and he turned to Yuxuzi and spoke.

Yu Xuzi stretched out his hand to signal Qu Shun to lie down on the seat, and said, "The good master should not act rashly if he is injured. In my view, Yue Dan has not yet been released, and if there is no Yue Dan to save people, there is nothing that can be done about the poor road. ”

"What Dan?" Qu Shun sat up again as soon as he was about to lie down and asked, "Dao Chief, what does the Dan you said have to do with saving people?" ”

Seeing that Qu Shun couldn't lie down and sit up again, Yu Xuzi shook his head lightly and said, "The good lord doesn't know, there are a group of mysterious mountain people who like to swallow pills in this Chongyun Ridge. They often captured and kidnapped passers-by, not to harm people's lives or money. ”

"Why is that?" Qu Shun asked, "For this Dan you said?" ”

"It's a shame to say that they captured passers-by, but in exchange for the Yue Dan I refined in the Chongyun Temple." Yu Xuzi said.

When Yao Ping heard this, he turned to ask, "Daoist Yuxu, do you mean that those strange people who captured our companions actually wanted to use the captured people to blackmail and exchange the elixir in your view?" ”

"That's exactly what it means." Yu Xuzi said, "But the good lord doesn't have to worry too much, these mountain people have not done this once or twice, they have no intention of harming people's lives, they really just intend to be in my view of Yue Dan." ”

Yao Ping looked at the Linjian warriors, then at Qu Shun and said, "So, I think those people deliberately arrested our people, and then deliberately drove us to run this way, so that we can come to Chongyunguan for help, so that we can use the pill here to find them to replace people?" ”

Yu Xuzi sighed lightly and said, "Poor Dao thinks, maybe that's what they mean." ”

"What a bastard.." Qu Shun said in a low voice, "What kind of thing are they going to take, they just ask for what pills to eat, and they even arrest people, and then force others to help them beg when they are done, it's a shame that they can think of it." ”

"Dao Chief, they are for the elixir, so why don't they come and ask for it in person?" Yao Ping asked.

"The master has an order, and he is not allowed to give them the Guanzhong pill." Yu Xuzi said, "But it is precisely because of Shizun's life that those mountain people came up with this method of holding people hostage to drive others to ask for pills for them." ”

"But... In the end, this elixir had to fall into their hands. Yao Ping said.

"There is no way, to save people, and I don't know how to disobey the teacher's orders, and the poor road can only be like this." Yu Xuzi said.

Yao Ping nodded and then said to Qu Shun, "Shunzi, if they are arresting people just to ask for pills, then we can also feel a little more at ease." In this way, at least Huahua and Lijun have no worries about their lives. ”

"Dao Chief, can you give this friend a few pills of the one you mentioned now, so that he can take them as soon as possible to save people?" Qu Shun looked at Yu Xuzi and asked.

"Good master, Fang Cai Poor Dao has already said that the Yue Dan refined in the view has not yet been baked at this time." Yu Xuzi said. "Therefore, there is nothing that can be done for the time being."

"When will the elixir be baked?" Qu Shun continued to ask.

"Two days to go." Yu Xuzi said.

"Huh?" Yao Ping and Qu Shun said in surprise, "It will take so long?" ”

Yu Xuzi looked at the two of them and nodded slightly.

"What can I do?" Qu Shun asked anxiously, "Daoist, do you have any other way?" ”

Yu Xuzi shook his head lightly and said, "There are no other ways to do it, and the poor way is only to know that those mountain people are really just bent on begging me for this Guanyue Dan." ”

"Jade Void Dao Chief." Yao Ping asked, "Why do those wild people in the mountains want to seek Yuedan in your temple so much?" ”

Yu Xuzi shook his head slightly, as if he didn't want to speak.

"Uncle Yuxuzi, the wound powder, hemostatic ointment, Bailian Fang, and Anyu liquid have all been brought." At this time, Bo Linger walked into the hall with a large pile of medicine jars and medicine bags and said.

"Hmm.." Yu Xuzi turned to look at Bo Ling'er and said, "Just put all these medicines here." ”

"Daoist Yuxu, may I ask, did you see two friends come here yesterday to ask for immortals? One of them is called Yoo Eun-jae and the other is Zhanye. After Yao Ping glanced at Bo Ling'er, he turned to Yu Xuzi and asked.

Yu Xuzi shook his head, "In the past few days, except for the three of you, no one has come up to the mountain. ”

Yao Ping glanced at Qu Shun and said, "It's troublesome now, we went to this Chongyun Temple first, and Liu Enzai and Zhanye haven't found it yet." ”

"In case they can't find it here, and that elixir can't be baked for the time being, how can we save people?" Qu Shun asked.

"Good lord, please don't move, poor Dao should take off the gauze on your wound to check the injury." Yu Xuzi said to Qu Shun.

"Junko, you quickly lie down and don't move anymore." Yao Ping said and pressed Qu Shun down on the bed.

Yu Xuzi said after inspecting Qu Shun's wound, "This good lord, your wound has cracked and a large amount of pus has accumulated inside, if you want to heal the injury and save your life in this scene, you must open the knife to release the pus, remove the bad meat, and then burn the wound and apply a special plaster." ”

"Dao Chief, it seems that Dao Chang has a way to cure him, please heal my brother with all his heart." When Yao Ping heard this, he said earnestly to Yu Xuzi.

Yu Xuzi nodded slightly.

"Dao Chief, Xiaomin, I fled here and came here, I am penniless, I am afraid I can't donate to Guanzhong." Qu Shun looked at Yu Xuzi and said, "I don't know how long..."

"The good lord is too worried, helping the people of the world is the foundation of my mixed Yuan sect, and I am not like those charlatans, saving people for the purpose of making money." Yu Xuzi said, "It's just that the good master, in the process of treating your injuries, the process will be unbearable, and even repeated treatment, I hope the good master himself will be mentally prepared." ”

"Thank you, Chief!" Qu Shun said excitedly, "I'm not afraid of pain, the Taoist chief is willing to save and heal the little people, and the little people are willing to listen to the Taoist chief's fiddling." However, I am still a little worried about the safety of my daughter-in-law and my brother's daughter-in-law. ”

"This... The way to save people has already been said. Yu Xuzi said, "If the good master can't rest assured, it will be difficult for the poor Dao to have a better way." ”

"Junko, you lie down." Yao Ping said, "Don't be embarrassed anymore. ”

Yu Xuzi leaned over and applied some plasters to Qu Shun's wound first, and said, "After the Yue Dan is refined, the poor Dao will take it and give it to the good master, so that the good master can save people." ”

Qu Shun sighed, and then secretly scolded the group of people who kidnapped Chen Dahua.

"Shunzi, it's useless for you to scold, it seems that if you want to save people, we can only wait for the Yuedan in the view to come out." Yao Ping said helplessly.

"If they dare to move a single hair in the past two days, I will have to slaughter them." Qu Shun said fiercely, "I'm going to eat all that Dan in front of them, first anger them, and then slaughter them." ”

"That's what worries me the most." Yao Ping said as he took off the "Shadow Cut" from his back, he tore off the wrap wrapped in the "Shadow Cut", held the "Shadow Cut" in his hand and looked at it, and said, "If they dare to touch them, I will definitely fight with them with you." ”

After Yao Ping took out the "Shadow Cut", Yu Xuzi's eyes were quickly attracted by the "Shadow Cut", and after looking at the "Shadow Cut" twice, Yu Xuzi immediately asked Yao Ping, "This good lord, dare to ask if the blade you hold in your hand is the Yingzhou knife?" ”

Yao Ping was stunned for a moment and then raised his knife and replied, "Well, this is a Yingzhou knife." ”

"Can the good lord lend a sword to the poor road?" Yu Xuzi asked.

"Naturally, if the Taoist chief looks at each other, he will take it." Yao Ping said that he held the "shadow cut" horizontally and handed it to Yu Xuzi.

Yao Ping, who was holding the "Shadow Cut" in his hand, saw that after Yu Xuzi put down the medicine jar, he turned to stretch out a pair of slender white jade hands, and seemed to be a little respectful and gently supported the blade of the "Shadow Cut" with those jade hands.

"I can't imagine that the Taoist is still a knife lover." Yao Ping said after handing over the "Shadow Cut" to Yu Xuzi.

Yu Xuzi didn't speak, she held the scabbard with one hand, and the handle with the other, and after checking the scabbard's eyes, she slowly twitched the hilt, and then pulled the knife out of the scabbard.

"Shadow Cut." Yu Xuzi said after seeing the inscription "Shadow Cut" at the root of the blade.

"Smack!" The blade was reinserted into the scabbard, and Yu Xuzi looked up at Yao Ping and asked him, "Good master, where did you get this knife from?" ”

"His daughter-in-law who hasn't passed the door has given it to him." Qu Shun interjected.

Yao Ping glanced at Qu Shun helplessly, and then said to Yu Xuzi, "It was a Sakura swordsman named Ping Qian Zhenying who gave it to my friend. ”

Yu Xuzi held the knife horizontally and did not return it to Yao Ping, she then said, "Bo Ling'er, go and find the gold dust." ”

"Yes, Uncle Yuxuzi." Bo Linger turned and walked out of the side hall again.

"Dao Chief, did you find something strange on this knife?" Yao Ping asked curiously.

Yu Xuzi carefully looked at the handle and grid of the "Shadow Cut" knife and said, "When Bo Ling'er takes the dust and examines it, the poor Dao can tell the good master a thing or two." ”

While Bo Ling'er brought the dust, Yao Ping looked at the jade Xuzi who was holding the "Shadow Cut" and asked again, "Dao Chief, I have something I don't understand and want to ask Dao Chief." ”

"Good lord, please speak."

"When I was going up the mountain just now, I obviously ran up the mountain, but after running for a long time, how did I come up from the mountain again?" Yao Ping asked.

"There are many clouds and mist miasma in this mountain, and the good lord must have encountered the miasma of fog and lost his way." Yu Xuzi said softly.

After hearing Yu Xuzi's words, Yao Ping was puzzled, he thought, if this kind of thing was said by Qu Shun, it would be fine, but the Taoist who lived in this mountain actually said the same, it would be a bit too perfunctory.

"Is this miasma of fog perennial in the mountains, or is it occasional?" Yao Ping continued to ask, "If it is really a mist miasma, why didn't I see any mist miasma on this part of the way up the mountain with the Taoist?" ”

Yu Xuzi didn't answer Yao Ping's question, she raised her eyes and looked at Yao Ping.

"Has the good lord ever fought with this sword? Hurt someone? Yu Xuzi ignored Yao Ping's last question, and she turned to him to ask.

Yao Ping was stunned for a moment, he looked at "Yingche", and said in retrospect, "When we were in Linjian County before, we were besieged by a mob, and I did use it to fight, and I also used it to hurt and save people. ”

"Did the good lord notice any difference between this knife and the usual blade?" Yu Xuzi asked.

"I found out." Yao Ping said. As soon as Yao Ping's words fell, he noticed a hint of surprise flashing in Yu Xuzi's eyes.

"It's sharp. It can even cut axes and chains. Yao Ping added. The surprise in Yu Xuzi's eyes faded away.

Yu Xuzi shook his head lightly and did not speak.

"Uncle Yuxuzi, I've brought the gold powder." Bo Ling'er's immature voice came.

Bohrier walked up with a mahogany locket in her hand. After taking the locket from Bo Ling'er's hand, Yu Xuzi turned to put the "Shadow Cut" on the desk next to him.

Yu Xuzi carefully opened the mahogany locket and took out a small porcelain vase from it, and then she poured a little red powder from the small porcelain vase into the palm of her hand.

Facing the "Shadow Cut" on the desk, Yu Xuzi raised his hand casually, and sprinkled the red powder in the palm of his hand into the air above the "Shadow Cut".

Yao Ping saw that the red powder first fluttered lightly in the air, and then slowly fell towards the "shadow cut" with a sparkling reflection. To his surprise, in the process of slowly falling, these powders seem to be attracted by the "Shadow Cut", and they gradually become no longer scattered, but gradually gather in the fall, and float towards the "Shadow Cut" in unison.

Eventually, the dust fell onto the scabbard and hilt of the "Shadow Cut" without exception. In less than a moment, the red powder that had fallen on the "shadow cut" seemed to melt again, and then disappeared.

Seeing that the red dust had all disappeared, Yu Xuzi hurriedly picked up the "Shadow Cut" in his hand and said to Yao Ping, "This good master, please come with me." ”

Yao Ping didn't wait to speak, he saw Yu Xuzi walking out of the side hall with a knife and heading towards another house in Guanyu.

Yao Ping quickly caught up with Yuxuzi, and after following her into a house, he saw that they had come to a small house, which was filled with a variety of magic weapons.

"Do you know that this blade of yours is an artifact?" Yu Xuzi asked Yao Ping as soon as he entered the house.

"Huh?" Yao Ping was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly looked at the "Shadow Cut" in Yu Xuzi's hand, and asked her, "Dao Chief, you said that this knife is... A fairy artifact? ”

"Artifact." Yu Xuzi looked at Yao Ping's confused look and said, "It seems that the good master doesn't know about these things. ”

Yao Ping nodded and said, "I really didn't know that this knife was an artifact, because this knife was not originally mine. Dao Chief, since you said that this knife is an artifact? Dare to ask, which kind of utensils is it used to worship the gods? ”

"The good lord has misunderstood..."Yu Xuzi hesitated for a moment and said, "The meaning of the artifact that Poor Dao is talking about right now does not mean the tribute used to worship the immortals. ”

"What is the artifact that the Taoist is referring to..?" Yao Ping asked in confusion.

Yu Xuzi thought for a while and said, "What the poor Dao refers to is an artifact like a fairy manifestation, an artifact of title. ”

"An artifact like a fairy manifestation..."Yao Ping stared at the "Shadow Cut" in Yu Xuzi's hand and muttered and scratched his head.

"Well, this knife is indeed an artifact from Sakura." Yu Xuzi said after handing the "Shadow Cut" hands back to Yao Ping, "Good master, please listen to the poor word, since this artifact is now in the hands of the good master, then please ask the good master to take good care of it, and don't let it fall into the hands of the bad guys." ”

Yao Ping took the "Shadow Cut", he looked at Yu Xuzi hesitantly and nodded, and then asked, "Dao Chief, I wonder if you can tell me how this artifact is manifested?" ”

"The mystery contained in the artifact is too cumbersome and complicated, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the good master to explain it for a while. In short, this knife, it contains transcendent and wonderful mana. But as for what this mana is, Poor Dao has no way of knowing, and there is no way to tell him. If the good lord is destined, he will know it in the future. Yu Xuzi said.

Yao Ping looked at the "Shadow Cut" in his hand and was silent for a moment before he spoke, "Thank you Dao Commander for saying this, since Dao Chang said that it is different and has wonderful abilities, then I will take care of it, and I will not easily let it fall into the hands of gangsters." ”

Yu Xuzi nodded. After hesitating for a moment, Yu Xuzi turned to look at Yao Ping and said to him, "Good master, please move with the poor road, the poor road will show the good master something, that may help the good master quickly understand what an artifact is." ”

"Well, there's a long way to go." Yao Ping responded, and then walked out of the house with Yu Xuzi.

Following Yu Xuzi through several small halls in Guanyu, Yao Ping came to the outer edge of Guanyu near the mountain cliff. After passing through the hanging corridor built on the cliff, the two came to a pavilion on the top of the cliff with a wide view and a panoramic view of the mountains. In this pavilion, Yao Ping raised his eyes and saw that in the corner of this pavilion, there was a bronze wind chime. The wind chimes were old, their golden copper color was long gone, and in their place was full of patina.

"Good lord, please look at this wind chime, it's called Liulan." Yu Xuzi looked at "Liulan" and said to Yao Ping, "It is an artifact. ”

"This wind chime... It's an artifact...? When Yao Ping heard this, he immediately walked to the bottom of "Liulan" curiously and looked at it, he looked at "Liulan" and asked Yuxuzi, "Dao Chief, if this wind chime is an artifact, then how is it different from those wind chimes hanging under other cornices?" ”

"Good lord, do you remember the scene you encountered when you went up the mountain?" Yu Xuzi said, "You also asked the poor Dao just now. ”

"Yuxu Daoist, you mean.... Is that miasma I encountered? Yao Ping asked with a little surprise.

Yu Xuzi nodded slightly, "It's the mist miasma and it's the Lan Qi." The ability of this wind chime is to make the Lan Qi in the mountains flow and rotate, forming an illusory mirage that is both true and false. By hanging it here, Poor Dao is taking advantage of this artifact's wonderful ability. ”

"Huh? There is such a thing. Yao Ping's eyes widened and he looked at "Liulan" again, and then he asked, "Dare to ask Dao Chang, then how do you use it?" ”

"Poor Dao knows its ability, as long as Poor Dao thinks in his heart, and then hangs it here." Yu Xuzi smiled lightly and said, "Whenever someone comes up to the mountain without permission, it will jingle the bell, causing the clouds and mist on the mountain to flow and change, forming an illusory image. ”

Yao Ping was surprised and asked, "Dao Chief, if it keeps ringing, won't no one be able to climb this mountain?" ”

"Good words are true." Yu Xuzi said, "But the poor road itself will not let it ring all the time. When it rings, the poor road will come here when he hears the sound of wind chimes. Standing here and looking down the mountain, you can overlook the entire mountain road up the mountain. When the poor road saw the people going up the mountain clearly, and then pinched the bell hammer in the bell tray to prevent it from ringing, the Lan Qi dissipated. ”

"There is such a magical thing in this world..."Yao Ping looked at "Liulan" and sighed, "This is really incredible, a small bell can control the flow of Shanlan..."

Just as the two of them watched "Liulan" continue to talk together, "Liulan" suddenly shook slightly. The bell pendant gently struck the bell holder, making a crisp and pleasant sound of "ding, ding, ding, dang".
