Chapter 64: Buried Alive
Qin's law is already strict, and if you make a mistake, you have to sit together. If the Fang Shi recommended by his brother did not have real skills, then his brother would definitely be angered by His Majesty the First Emperor, who was already murderous, which made him and his brother very distressed.
Su Mingyue's eyes lit up when she heard this, if it was something else, he might not be able to help, but he could really help with this matter. Most of the people living in the village where he was born were reclusive monks, and although he was young, his mother had told him these words, and he remembered that those people had real skills, otherwise he would have gone back to take revenge.
His master is also a Taoist one, a real monk, although he is not a monk, but the means are no worse than the monks, and it can even be said that they are better, they are truly true, if you want to refine the elixir of life, his master is estimated to be more professional than those monks.
However, Su Mingyue also knew that this kind of thing of refining medicine for the emperor was not good, and it was the crime of killing the head. If his master really had the elixir, the tablet of his ancestor would not be placed in the ancestral hall. Although he had an estrangement from his master, he still didn't want to do anything that harmed his master, so he recommended the village where he was born.
He told Li Wen that he was born in that village, and that village was full of reclusive monks with real skills in their hands, and they should be careful when they went, otherwise they might fall into the way, and the next time they went, the whole village would disappear.
Li Wen is a shrewd person, hearing Su Mingyue say this, his eyes immediately lit up, since the people in this village have the ability to disappear the entire village in a short period of time, it must not be simple, think about it, this time I will definitely be able to invite a master.
Li Wen told Su Mingyue with a smile, saying that he had made a great contribution and helped him a lot this time, and he couldn't swallow Su Mingyue's credit, and he wanted to introduce Su Mingyue to the First Emperor, so that the First Emperor could reward Su Mingyue well.
Su Mingyue was even more moved when he heard this, he originally wanted to repay Li Wen's favor, but Li Wen was unwilling to swallow his own credit, where would he find such a friend?
Su Mingyue longs for family affection, friendship, and love. There is no hope for family and love, but in friendship he found a friend who made him feel warm, he did not dislike himself as an orphan, did not dislike himself as a monster, and was very touched by the kindness of his heart.
After that, Li Wen really took him to see the First Emperor as he promised, and explained to the First Emperor that these people were recommended by him Su Mingyue, and His Majesty the Emperor was overjoyed and rewarded him with a lot of good things.
Su Mingyue raised her eyebrows for the first time since she was born, and she had good friends and won the emperor's appreciation, which made those dignitaries look down on her. He's even a little fluttery. As for the fact that the emperor asked him to bring people with Li Wen to arrest the people in the village, he didn't care at all, he hated those people for killing his mother, even if they slaughtered the entire village, he would not feel guilty.
On the second day, Li Wen brought more than a dozen Taoist priests to see Su Mingyue. According to Li Wen, these Taoist priests are some warlocks who understand evil arts, although these people do not know how to alchemy and medicine, but they are very professional in harmful evil magic formations and the like, and His Majesty specially sent them to assist them in trapping those monks.
Su Mingyue was even happier when she saw that she had a helper, and rushed to the village where he was born with Li Wen and more than a dozen evil Taoist priests, and asked the evil Taoist priests to lay a net array and wipe out all the people in the village.
The people in the village really didn't expect that the demon who ran away at the beginning would come back to harm them one day. They are reclusive monks, although they also know how to refine medicines, but where can they refine any elixir. If this medicine can be refined, the people in their village will be immortal in the first place, and how can people continue to die of old age.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are something that everyone must experience, and immortality is against the laws of nature and is impossible to achieve. The people in the village all said that the elixir did not exist at all, so the emperor hurriedly released them.
The First Emperor was directly angry, and these people didn't even want to try the medicine, so they directly refused, so how could the First Emperor not be angry. The First Emperor reprimanded Su Mingyue and Li Wen, saying that they were not doing things well, and these people they found were not at all responsible.
Su Mingyue saw that Li Wen was also scolded because of herself, and felt guilty in her heart, and vented all her anger on the village monks. He found a dozen evil Taoist priests, dug a deep pit in the mountains on the outskirts of Xianyang, and threw one of the most temperamental monks into the pit and buried him alive in front of everyone in the village. He told everyone that if he buried a person alive every day, and if they didn't refine the elixir for a day, his act of burying people would not stop, and those who didn't want to die should hurry up and refine the medicine.
Su Mingyue's actions really shocked the people in the village, they didn't expect this young man to be so ruthless, he said that he would kill people, and he didn't show any mercy. Su Mingyue's father was among the crowd, and at this time he stood up and asked Su Mingyue to show mercy to the people in the village.
Su Mingyue sneered directly, he asked his father where he went when the villagers chased him and his mother, and now he still has the face to stand up and plead, he can spare his father's life, it is already for the sake of his fertility, as for the rest, don't expect it. With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
In fact, Su Mingyue has studied with her master for many years, and her combat effectiveness is no worse than that of these monks in the village. But he can be said to know almost nothing about alchemy, and he doesn't want to implicate this matter on the master, so he can only hope for these monks in the village.
Immortality is just a sentence after all, throughout the ages, whether it is an emperor or a Taoist master, how many people do not yearn for immortality? But who has ever seen the sun rise in the sky? Has anyone ever seen someone who is immortal? The so-called immortality is just a fantasy of man's own self, a beautiful and unrealistic wish.
Don't say that there are Fangshi in this village, even if there is another village of half-immortals, it is definitely impossible to refine any elixir. During this time, all the monks in the village did get together to study the elixir, and Su Mingyue also killed one a day to put pressure on these people, but until the end, he killed everyone except for his father, and there was no progress in the elixir.
The First Emperor's patience was about to run out, and the gaze that looked at him was no longer the joy and comfort he had at the beginning, he was a cultivator of warlocks, as long as there were no peers to stumble, it was not impossible for him to escape from here. can think that Li Wen has a brother here and a large family, so he gave up his plan to escape, and when he leaves, Li Wen, the recommender, will be responsible for himself.
He attaches great importance to Li Wen, and attaches great importance to the friendship between him and Li Wen, this is his first friend and his only friend, and he doesn't want Li Wen to have any accidents because of himself. Su Mingyue gritted her teeth for Li Wen, confessed her master, and told Li Wen that her master could probably refine the elixir, but he was not sure.
He hoped that Li Wen could wait for him, let him go back to the master first, ask the master, if the master was sure, he would naturally ask the master to go out of the mountain, if the master was not sure, he would have no choice. He told Li Wen that Master was his life-saving benefactor, and he raised himself so big, he couldn't let Master end up with the Fang Shi of that village.
No matter how ignorant he is, he still has a basic conscience.
Li Wen responded and asked Su Mingyue to go early and return early. Su Mingyue promised that no matter whether the matter was successful or not, he would come back to live and die with Li Wen, and if the emperor blamed, he would bear the responsibility alone, and he would never affect the Li family. Li Wen said that they are good brothers, and they will bear the guilt together, and they will never let Su Mingyue be convicted alone.
After Su Mingyue left, she quickly returned to the master and told the master about the elixir. Unexpectedly, the master was furious and scolded Su Mingyue for being confused, not to mention that his master couldn't refine any elixir at all, even if he could refine it, he couldn't give it to the emperors of the world, if the emperors of the world were immortal, the laws of this world would be messed up, and he would be punished by heaven.
Su Mingyue was shocked when she heard this, and apologized to her master, but unfortunately before he could make amends, the master was besieged. He went out with the master to check, and saw that there was a young man behind those who surrounded the master's door, and it was his close friend Li Wen.
Su Mingyue couldn't believe her eyes, didn't Li Wen promise herself to go back to him after she asked the master? How could you bring people to surround the teacher's gate? Li Wen looked at Su Mingyue with a smile, and said that thanks to Su Mingyue leading the way, he found this place and saw so many masters.
All the brothers and sisters of the division looked at Su Mingyue with hatred, and even a few hot-tempered senior sisters had already scolded, saying that he was ungrateful, the master saved his life, raised him, and taught him a skill, and now he actually led thieves to harm his master, which is simply worse than a beast.
Su Mingyue moved her mouth, wanting to explain that he didn't. He is no longer humane, and he has absolutely no reason to lead thieves to harm the master who has the grace to save his life. But looking at Li Wen who was smiling at him on the other side, he suddenly lost the motivation to explain, and just stared at Li Wen and asked him why.
Li Wen said that he had no choice but to do so, this was the last hope, he had to seize the opportunity, otherwise his brother would not be able to complete the task, and he might be punished by His Majesty, so he could only stay in Mingyue.
Su Mingyue gently closed her eyes and pleaded with a wail, hoping that Li Wen could spare her master and sister. Li Wen didn't say a word, just looked at Su Mingyue with an impeccable smile.
Su Mingyue looked at this smile and knew that Li Wen was silently rejecting herself. He suddenly found that Li Wen, who coaxed himself in everything and accommodated himself infinitely, was so unreal.
