Chapter 582: The Secret in the Cave
When the two looked at each other, they knew that there must be something they imagined in it. However, they did not know what was going on in the cave, and if they ventured into it, they would be alarmed. Therefore, they had a tacit understanding and waited outside for an hour or so before the four elders came out of the cave. By the moonlight, Shi Gong noticed that the Great Elder's face was full of joy, and then he looked at the other three elders with a smile on their faces. I only heard Elder Feng stroked his beard and said, "Lao Zheng, I didn't expect it to be refined by you." For so many years, our ancestors have not succeeded, and they have actually been refined by us. ”
Elder Zheng smiled and said, "It's not that our ancestors can't do it, it's that our ancestors didn't test the medicine from others. Also, what is needed to refine this medicine is the medicinal materials on the prescription, and this medicine is thanks to the eldest brother. Without the support of the eldest brother, this medicine could not be refined. ”
Elder Yu asked slowly, "Big brother, should we tell that person that the medicine has been successfully refined?" ”
The Great Elder seemed to be thinking, and suddenly he only heard him say, "Don't tell them yet. We still have some semi-finished products in our hands, and they don't seem to dislike it. We sell them the semi-finished products in our hands first, and then sell them when they are sold out. ”
"Sure enough, it's still the eldest brother who has a vision." Elder Feng sneered.
"Okay, let's keep this matter silent when we go back, and we'll disperse here." The Great Elder instructed solemnly.
"Yes, this matter is very important, and the juniors and disciples will naturally not reveal half a point." After saying that, the elders went back to the bottom of the mountain.
After another quarter of an hour, Shigong and Shangguan Yi were sure that they would not return, so they secretly walked to the cave. They originally thought that the cave would not be able to reach out and lose their fingers, but when they reached the halfway point, they saw that the cave was actually inlaid with a night pearl.
Their steps were light, and the further they went, the colder they felt inside. Shigong looked at Shangguan Yi with some doubts, as if to say, will there be living people in such conditions? Shangguan Yi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. When the two of them went inside, they found that the cave was very deep and had other things. When they came to the end, the two men looked inside in amazement.
The area inside is huge, with more than a dozen caves that have been carved out. The caves are surrounded by iron railings, and a person is locked up in each cave. The two of them felt that they were locked up, and each state was different. The first man in the cave noticed that someone had come in, and in the cave he let out the howl of a wild beast. When they looked closely at the person inside, they found that most of the person's body had festered, and there was pus and blood on his face and arms. There were different scars on his body, but he didn't seem to know the pain.
Shi Gong said softly: "This person should be the first person to test the medicine, I have seen this symptom in the books left by my father." Now he belongs to the state of half corpse and half human. It is not until his whole body festers to the internal organs that he may be unconscious. Let's take a look at the second cave. ”
Shangguan Yi shuddered, he felt really terrifying after listening to it. If this person is not conscious, it is fine, if he is still conscious, he watches his body gradually festering until he dies, how terrible it is.
When they reached the second cave, they saw only a skeleton, and it seemed that they had improved the prescription, but this time it failed. But why does the skeleton remain?
The two of them went directly to the third and fourth caves, only to see that the people inside could not be called human at all. The man in the third cave was swallowing a poisonous snake alive. The man in the fourth cave was gnawing on an arm, and Shigong noticed that it was a human arm.
Shi Gong was extremely angry, the four elders were so mad, and the people who tortured people were not like ghosts and ghosts.
"They, how did they become like this?" Shangguan Yi said solemnly.
"Let's go, let's go to the last one." Shigong sighed and said.
If it weren't for the fear of startling the snakes, he would have killed these people directly, and they must have thought it was a relief.
However, when they passed by the ninth hole, they found a man standing quietly there. Shangguan Yi said softly: "This seems to be normal, could it be the person who just tested the medicine?" ”
When the two of them walked in, they found that this person was really a disciple of the Medicine King Valley. And this person looked normal, but if you looked closely, his eyes were actually glowing red, and there were two very thick silver needles pierced on the top of his head. After Shangguan Yi looked at it, his body unconsciously took a step back. Then he said, "Gu Control Technique? Elder Zheng's Gu technique is actually so powerful? ”
Shigong looked at Shangguan Yi suspiciously, and then said, "Aren't you too?" ”
"Senior brother, my Gu Control Technique is aimed at those five poisons, but the elders are controlling people. Do you see the silver needle on his head? At this time, if his master rings the silver bell in his hand, then the person in front of him will attack us to death before he stops. When the time comes, he is unconscious, and he has only one belief, which is to kill the two of us. Shangguan Yi said with a lot of concern.
"Who is this person who uses the four elders to refine medicine? Why? Do they want to control someone to die for that person? Shigong asked slowly.
"I don't think it's the finished product they say it is. I think I know what their finished product is. Senior brother, let's go inside and have a look. Shangguan Yi dragged Shigong to the last cave.
They looked into the cave and saw a young man dressed in white sitting there. When he saw Shigong and Shangguan Yi, it was like seeing two saviors. Hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Are the two valley masters?" Get me out, I don't want to be locked up here. No, did you ask the elders to do that? ”
The young man who originally thought that he had seen the savior thought that Shigong and Shangguan Yi were in a group with the elders, so he shrank back in fright, and shivered inside.
Master said softly, "You are from the Medicine King Valley, right?" Whether you believe it or not, the Lord of the Valley will tell you that it was not the Lord of the Valley who arranged for them to do this. I only discovered this cave today, so I came in and took a look. Can you tell me what they did to you? ”
The young man hesitated a little and struggled for a long time before he spoke: "I am a disciple of Elder Feng, I was originally refining medicine in the courtyard with everyone today, but I don't know why I suddenly fainted, and when I woke up, I was already locked in the cave. Originally, I didn't know who it was, but just now all the four elders arrived, and after they came in, they couldn't help but say that they were sealing the acupoints on my body. After they fed me a pill, I fainted again. Originally, after I woke up, I wanted to ask Master why he did this to me, although I was his apprentice, I couldn't do this to me. Who knows, before I could react, I heard a nice silver ringtone, and then I lost consciousness. When I woke up again, I saw a skeleton of a man in front of me. Valley Lord, I'm afraid, they don't know what they did to me, or if it has something to do with pills. I don't know what I've done, and you must save me. ”
Shi Gong was furious after hearing this, these elders looked sanctimonious on weekdays, and they actually did such a disgusting thing behind people's backs. Skeleton? Could it be that the person in the second cave did not die, but the young man in front of him killed the person without knowing it?
It seemed that there were only four elders left to know what had just happened.
Shangguan Yi pulled the sleeve of his master's coat, and then said, "He is the finished product in the elder's mouth." ”
Shi Gong was still immersed in shock just now, and when Shangguan Yi spoke, he thought that the ninth was motionless now, and only when he heard the silver bell ringing, he would have the consciousness to kill. And the young man in front of him, like a normal person on weekdays, will react when he hears the silver bell.
Shigong said softly: "Come here, let the Shangguan Valley Lord take a look for you." ”
The boy slowly walked in front of them, and Shangguan Yi put his hand on the boy's pulse. The young man's pulse was very calm, but when Shangguan Yi put a Gu worm on the young man's body, he saw that something suddenly jumped on the young man's arm, and the Gu worm placed on the young man's body instantly turned into a pool of blood.
"It's so poisonous, don't worry, we will rescue you, however, I need you to stay here first, this pill can restrain you from being affected by the silver bell. You remember, if you hear the voices of the elders, take one first. But even if you're awake, remember to pretend you're unconscious when you hear the silver bell. Remember that this is the only way to save your life. Shangguan Yi said softly.
The boy nodded, then placed the pill on his body.
After Shigong and Shangguan Yi left the cave, they returned to Shigong's house.
Originally, Shangguan Yi planned to follow him, so he went back to the house to sleep. encountered this incident, so he had to endure the sleepiness and go back to his master's house first to discuss what he saw today.
"Senior brother, that young man has Gu on his body, and Gu worms have been added to the medicine that Elder Zheng has refined. Now that young man has become a Gu man, and besides, the young man is now covered in poison all over his body. Do you remember that skeleton? I suspect that the man must have come into contact with the teenager, so that after being poisoned, only a skeleton remained. Shangguan Yi said with a frown.
"What? Then you ......," Shigong asked worriedly.
"Look ......" Shangguan Yi stretched out the hand that had just taken the pulse of the young man, only to see that all the fingers were blue and black, and it could be seen that it seemed to be poisoned.
"It's not life-threatening, is it?" Shi Gongteng stood up and asked.
"No, I've already used the medicine, just use the Gu worm to pull out the poison in a while." Shangguan Yi said.
"I didn't expect that the elder would actually refine into a Gu person. Perhaps this is the reason why the ancestors stopped, because the test would kill innocent people, so they did not continue. However, the elders sacrificed the lives of the disciples of the Medicine King Valley for the sake of silver. Shi Gong said disappointedly.
"These people are so ruthless, it's just for the silver." Shangguan Yi said resentfully.
"I suspect that the person who needs these Gu people is not only very rich, but also probably a powerful person. If you want to buy this medicine in large quantities, you must want to do something. Shi Gong said slowly.
