"In the middle of last year, Lao Dao learned that Tao He was doing something against the sky, as a cultivator, maybe I shouldn't be involved in your struggle for power, but Tao He's innocent killing has obviously exceeded Lao Dao's imagination, in the past few years, he did not hesitate to create countless bloody cases in Shu in order to achieve his own goal, in order to find out the reason, I tracked all the way to Connecticut, and found that Tao He deliberately provoked a war with the Zhen tribe, which can be described as angry and resentful!" Wuwei Taoist said sadly.

Yang Yi was a little excited: "Dao Chief! Bosom friend! Finally, someone knows that Connecticut's affairs have nothing to do with me, and I am about to be wronged to death. ”

Wuwei Daoist looked up at Yang Yi, and said with a helpless smile: "Old Dao never expected that you would be pushed out by Tao He as a substitute for the dead ghost." ”

Yang Yi straightened his body and said in a deep voice: "Dao Chief, what does Tao He want to do?" I still haven't figured it out, he is already an uncrowned king in Shu, why is there so much trouble? ”

Wuwei Daoist gently brushed the dust and did not answer Yang Yi's question, but squinted his eyes and asked, "Your Highness can yearn for immortality?" ”

Yang Yi froze and asked rhetorically, "What is immortality?" ”

"Nature shines with the sun and the moon, and lives with heaven and earth."

Yang Yi smiled and said: "The Taoist chief is joking, I have seen your Taoist longevity formula, the sixteen-character formula is a good way to maintain health, if you talk about immortality, I am afraid that the younger generation will not be able to agree, I will only think that the Taoist is telling a joke." ”

The Wuwei Daoist didn't seem to be angry at Yang Yi's slightly ridiculous and rude attitude, but was very pleased: "Yes, immortality is against the way of heaven, how can worldly mortals peep into the heavens?" Although I am a disciple of the Taoist Sect, I definitely do not believe that there are immortal people in this world. ”

Yang Yi nodded, although there were still some superstitions in the views of Wuwei Daoists, at least he had not yet believed in the nonsense of immortality.

"What do you mean by this, is it... That Tao He...," Yang Yi said strangely.

"Not bad!" Wuwei Daoist stood up and said angrily: "That Tao He is violating the way of heaven and pursuing the illusory thing of immortality, and for this reason, he does not hesitate to harm innocents, does not hesitate to harm living beings, and even provokes a war that causes hundreds of thousands of people in Connecticut to fall into fire and water." ”

Yang Yi also stood up and said in a deep voice, "Can the Dao Elder elaborate?" ”

Wuwei Taoist took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "This matter should start with the ancestral teachings of the Zhen people. A long time ago, when Shu was still a wild land, the Zhen people at that time were the masters of Shu, they lived in the depths of the mountains, living an ordinary and indifferent life, there was no war here, there was no fighting, and their biggest enemies were only wild beasts and diseases.

In order to deal with the ferocious beasts, they built a stockade, and when the beasts attacked, they attacked them in groups, and this hidden danger was quickly eliminated. However, there is nothing the Zhen people can do about diseases, they do not have the medical skills of the Central Plains civilization, once someone is sick, they can only pray for it, and then resign themselves to fate.

It wasn't until later that the Central Plains people discovered Shuzhong, and many tourists, Taoists, and monks began to come to this immature land, and they brought a lot of vitality to the people of the Zheng people, but also brought disputes.

Once, one of the leaders of the Zhen tribe fell ill with an illness, and all the tribesmen were so grieved that they could only watch their leader become seriously ill until he died. At this time, a wandering alchemist came to the village of the Zhen tribe. ”

"Alchemist?" Yang Yiqi said, he had heard Monkey Jian'er talk about this kind of person before, but according to Yang Yi's judgment, most of these so-called alchemists were gods.

Seeing Yang Yi's questioning expression, the Wuwei Daoist knew what he was thinking, so he said: "That alchemist is a little different from ordinary alchemists, he not only knows alchemy, but also is a real master of medical skills, and he has spent his whole life hoping to integrate his medical Dao and Dan Dao, so as to carry it forward. Therefore, when this alchemist treats people, he likes to refine the medicine into pills and then give them to people.

After the leader of the Zhen tribe took the alchemist's elixir, his condition really improved until he recovered. ”

Yang Yi said with a smile: "Then the people of the Zhen tribe will worship this master as a god?" ”

Who knew that the Wuwei Daoist shook his head, and said with a little doubt: "If this is the case alone, then the alchemist can be regarded as a guest by the people of the Zhen tribe at most, but according to legend, that alchemist can actually cast spells, he can summon heavenly thunder, and the power is enough to split mountains and stones!" ”

"Heavenly thunder?" Yang Yi was taken aback, his first reaction was that this might be an old story, and it was too mythical, but after thinking about it, this Wuwei Taoist was not bored enough to tell himself mythological stories.

"Gunpowder?!" This word flashed through Yang Yi's mind, and he immediately remembered the movement when he blew up the Five Immortal Mountain.

But he listened to Wuwei Taoist condensing: "At first, the old man didn't believe it, but according to the old man's recent verification, it was found that this matter is very likely to be true, not only there are a large number of detailed records in the files of the Zhen people, but even the "Shu Zhongzhi" in the Chengzhou Mansion is also recorded. ”

Yang Yi didn't speak, he was now sure that if this matter was true, then this alchemist was using gunpowder to deceive, and then asked, "Then what happened?" ”

"The alchemist has such magical powers, so he is naturally worshiped as a god by the people of the Zhen tribe, not only enshrined in the village, but also found a large number of alchemy and alchemy materials for him. The alchemist will make a lot of pills for the people of the Zhen tribe to eat, which is said to have the effect of curing the disease and reviving the dead. Later, the warlock grew older, and in order to prolong his lifespan, he began to refine the elixir of life. ”

Yang Yi touched his chin and said curiously, "Did he really practice?" ”

"According to the records of the Zhen people, when the pill was about to be practiced, the warlock was almost dead, but his disciple successfully refined the pill and obtained an elixir. But since then, no one has been able to refine the elixir, and the only one of the elixirs has disappeared without a trace, one is that it was hidden by the elders of the Zhen clan, and the other is that it was taken away by the disciple of the alchemist. ”

Yang Yi smiled: "You mean that Tao He is here for this Immortal Pill?" ”

Wuwei Daoist nodded and said: "Yes, according to Lao Dao's investigation, last year there were rumors that the descendants of the alchemist's disciples appeared in Congzhou Mansion, Lao Dao believed that Tao He had sent someone to look for it, but he never found it, and now it seems that Tao He can't wait and wants to attack the Di clan." ”

"Congzhou? Congzhou..."Yang Yi fell into deep thought, he suddenly felt that after he came to Shuzhong, he seemed to have seen someone from Congzhou somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
