Chapter 172: Poison Toad and Alchemy (Part II)
Zhao Banxian'er touched Li You's pulse, then shook his hand and sighed: "Alas, you got up too violently just now." ”
"Oh, it's a lack of oxygen." Li You scratched his head embarrassedly, and then asked Zhao Banxian'er what to do next?
After thinking for a while, as soon as the half-fairy and his talisman came out, he couldn't feel the demonic energy. But it is not advisable to stay for a long time, so it is better to hurry back to the palace of Master Wang and discuss it again.
After the two of them made up their minds, they walked briskly downstairs.
When I came downstairs, I found that it had closed for some time.
"Li You, will you go to the back of the front cabinet to see if the shopkeeper is there?"
"Okay."
Walking quickly to the counter in front of the door, Li You poked his head inside nervously, only to see a person wearing a black brocade robe and having no face like a buddy lying inside.
"Master, this shopkeeper seems to have burped too."
"Alas, it's a strange thing, it's the first time I've seen Poor Dao, let's leave quickly, if the government comes, it won't be clear."
Li You nodded, and wanted to push the door open, but after half a effort, the wooden door was not moving, and he was puzzled for a while.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Banxian'er took two steps forward, nudged it, frowned, and said, "It seems that this demon has sealed the door outside, let's go through the back door." ”
After coming out of the back door, the two of them ran all the way and returned to Master Wang's mansion in a few minutes
Zhang Zhutou happened to be wandering at the door, and when he saw that the two had finally returned, he hurriedly approached and asked them where they had gone.
"We went out and encountered zero things, there are demons doing evil, you find a few brothers to go to the restaurant on the edge of Wangchun Tower to see, there are people dead inside."
"What?" As soon as Zhang Zhutou heard that Zhao Banxian'er was dead, the pair of eyeballs didn't fall out.
After confirming his words, he hurriedly found his subordinates, and called a thin and tall man to find a servant, and he took people to the restaurant first.
Li You saw that they were busy, and he also walked back to the courtyard behind the lobby.
When passing by, I saw that the east wing was still brightly lit, and I guess the beautiful prefect's wife had not rested.
"Don't look at it, come here!"
Zhao Banxian'er's shouting pulled Li You, who was still in obscenity, back. He walked slowly up to the half-fairy and asked him what he commanded.
"Just now I was on the road thinking about what was going on with the shopkeeper and the buddy's face, but I never got a picture or two."
In fact, Li You has been thinking about it, and he still has zero eyebrows, but he is not sure.
Seeing that Zhao Banxian'er was worried, he opened his mouth and said, "I have an idea, but ......"
"But what is, look."
"Well, when I was with Uncle Shi before, I heard from him, and he used to get rid of a monster in the town near Guwangmiao Town. It is the demon who has become a sperm, good at imitating human speech, and can also turn into a human form, so he likes to peck at people's faces. ”
When Zhao Banxian'er heard this, she immediately frowned, "Did you really hear it right?" ”
"No, his resonance is true, and it certainly can't be fake. But his monster has already been subdued, and he was killed by a Liao soldier? ”
Seeing that Ban Xian'er was silent again, Li You hurriedly said: "Master, let's settle the matter of Master Wang first, is he also suffering from the strange disease of the Qian County Order?" ”
The half-fairy nodded, and after they collected the insects, they searched for the location in Qian Cheng's memory.
It didn't take much effort to find the sealed cave, and on the boulder above, I don't know who put a talisman on it.
Fu is a kind of magic in Taoism, also known as "Fu Zi", "Mo Zheng", "Dan Shu".
Zhao Banxian'er looked at this talisman and immediately frowned.
Wang Fu heard that there were demons here, and he trembled all the way.
Seeing that even the master of this half-immortal body frowned, he hurriedly asked him what was wrong.
"This talisman was pasted by a master and used to suppress the demons below. I don't know much about this poisonous toad, and I'm afraid that breaking the spell of this fellow practitioner will lead to disaster. ”
Wang Fu saw that he was embarrassed, so he said: "I heard that this poisonous toad can not only spit poisonous mist, but also confuse the mind, master think twice." ”
What he meant by this was to make Zhao Banxian'er feel good, but people didn't think so.
"Hmph, you can't believe the poor way?"
"No, no, no, I don't have this intention, I'm just worried about the safety of my master."
Zhao Banxian'er didn't pay any more attention to him, just hesitated for a moment, and then leaned over and removed the talisman.
As soon as the talisman was gone, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and piles of dark clouds surrounded him. It was still bright and white, but suddenly it was as dark as night.
When the lightning and thunder roared, Wang Fu followed the others and shouted to the master in shock:
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Don't panic, this monster has gained such a big Dao in just a few years, I'm afraid that I will always accept it, you should go and hide elsewhere!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't care about the people behind him, and directly moved the boulder that was pressing the entrance of the cave away.
When Wang Fu left, he looked back at him from time to time. Seeing that such a large stone had been moved by him, Zhao Banxian'er was really not pretentious, and had two brushes.
After Banxian looked back at them all and hid them, he took out an elixir and put it in his mouth and took it.
Then he took out the fire fold, lit the torch, and without thinking about it, he took out the copper coin sword and jumped down.
After falling into the hole, the first thing that caught his eye was a pool of clear water not far away.
There is also a shallow channel at the edge of the pond, and the water in it flows evenly outward, and it is not known where it will eventually converge.
He walked towards that side with his heart in mind, and although he didn't see the demon, he could sense that the poisonous toad must be hiding in the dark and peeking at him at this moment.
After coming to the edge of the pool, he brushed his sleeves and smelled the water, and immediately frowned.
The water in the pool of heart has long been polluted by poisonous toads, whether it is for Qian Cheng or the common people, he must get rid of it.
When he left the edge of the pool, he suddenly smelled the smell of elixir, and intermittently burrowed into his mouth and nose.
Zhao Banxian is also a Taoist priest, and he is no stranger to this taste. I wondered, why would there be someone here doing alchemy?
This doubt was quickly solved by him, for he saw a gap in the side of the wall behind the pool of water that could accommodate a person.
When he got inside, he found that there was a lot of space. It is boxy and angular, but the top of the cave is deliberately carved into a circle.
After taking a closer look, Ban Xian'er found that there seemed to be a dividing line in the center of this circle, and immediately understood that this was an alchemy room.
Because a Dan furnace is standing behind the wall, there is a Dharma platform in front of it, and incense burners and other objects are placed on the platform.
In Taoism's perception of the world, there is a method, that is, the round place.
All kinds of signs can prove that not long ago, there were alchemist warlocks living in seclusion here.
As for why this place was abandoned, it may be because of the evil spirits.
When she arrived here, Zhao Banxian'er was silent again, and sighed repeatedly.
Li You asked him nothing, so he had to wait until he was in a better mood.
At this time, the noisy sound outside reached Li You's ears, and he thought that Zhang Yu was coming back soon, so he got up and planned to go out to have a look, but was stopped by Zhao Banxian'er.
"You stay honest, it's better not to touch this kind of thing."
"Okay." Li Youxin I can't do anything with you, so I asked Zhao Banxian'er again what happened later.
After the half-fairy sighed, he didn't see anything unusual after looking for half of it, not even the poisonous toad's, so he planned to leave.
But when he passed by the Dharma platform, he suddenly saw a familiar thing on it.
I thought I was mistaken, so I thought I would go up and take a closer look. But after seeing him clearly, he was stunned.
