Chapter 52: Yin Dan

Previous Chapter

Zhang Shuo was suddenly startled, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and was busy looking around, but he didn't find anyone, could it be...

Turning to look at the unconscious Master Long, he said incredulously, "Master Long... You? ”

Master Long remained unresponsive, and the voice came from here, "Oh? You know me, lad are you...? ”

"Sound into the secret!!"

Zhang Shuo suddenly realized, it is said that those who are profound in practice can convey what they want to say with their mental power, and those who have achieved great cultivation can even transmit sound for thousands of miles.

Looking at the old man on the bed, Zhang Shuo became more and more convinced, nodded and said: "The junior is a friend of your little apprentice Shi Lin, and now she has been arrested, I specially rushed to save her, who knows..."

Master Long sighed, "Unjustly... Young man, thanks to your help, I thank you here, please be sure to rescue Shi Lin, otherwise it will cause a big disaster! ”

"Master Long, don't worry, the juniors must find a way to rescue Shi Lin, but I don't understand, who captured her? What is the purpose? ”

Master Long was silent for a moment, and began to slowly explain to him what had happened.

It turned out that Master Long had a total of five disciples, including Shi Lin, and all of them were helpless orphans who were adopted by him, among which the eldest disciple Sun Jun is now forty years old, and he has followed Master Long for the longest time, and he is honest and cautious; The second disciple Ou Yangming is thirty-eight years old, slightly later than Sun Jun, who is shrewd and capable, and has ingenious thinking; The third disciple, Shen Yushan, is thirty-two years old, with a taciturn but thoughtful temperament; The fourth disciple, Cao Kun, is thirty years old, clever and intelligent, but he is ambitious, easy to go to extremes, and is even more obsessed with the way of immortality, and is the most worrying disciple of Master Long; Finally, there is Shi Lin, who is not yet an adult, and is a close disciple of Master Long.

Although the other four senior brothers have their own strengths, they are more than inferior in talent compared to Shi Lin, who has the "Five Yin Body", but it is a pity that her physique is only easy to practice the Yin Evil Ghost Dao, so Master Long's skills have not inherited much, otherwise Master Long would have made her his heir a long time ago!

Originally, the brothers were harmonious, and everyone was safe, but since the year before last, Master Long's body has been in condition, and he can't find out the problem when he goes to many hospitals, and Master Long is experienced, and he slowly deduced from the condition of his body that he was poisoned! But there are people close to him, who poisoned him? And this poison is a chronic poison, obviously it has been dormant for a long time, and it has been weak to return to the sky, Master Long felt that his body was not as good as day by day, so he found an excuse to "release Shi Lin from the school", the purpose was to protect her, and at the same time he secretly investigated the truth, and before leaving, he taught Shi Lin how to restrain other senior brothers, as long as he found out who did it, he could let Shi Lin use his law to stop him!

Unexpectedly, after Shi Lin left, the other four disciples began to fight openly and secretly, taking advantage of their weakness to grind hard bubbles, and make sure to let him choose themselves as their heirs, Master Long was exhausted, and saw that the brothers who lived in harmony in the past turned against each other for the sake of interests, you can imagine how sad Master Long was; Fortunately, Shi Lin is safe and sound, the two often exchange letters and letters, and the poisoning gradually has an eyebrow, Master Long expected that his life would be short, and the secret battle between the four brothers was already white-hot, so he warned Shi Lin not to come back, and wait for him to find out the truth before making a decision.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, when Master Long found out that the mastermind behind the scenes was his fourth apprentice Cao Kun, the other three apprentices suddenly encountered accidents one after another, and Master Long was also countered by Cao Kun, only to learn that Cao Kun had joined the "Yin Ghost Faction" as early as three years ago and became the altar master of the "Yin Ghost Faction" branch altar!

It is rumored that the "Yin Ghost Sect" is a mysterious sect that suddenly appeared in a certain place in Shaanxi in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, the people are proficient in the unbelievable evil arts, and are good at "calling ghosts and spirits, pointing to the maze", the local people are mostly confused by it, not only worship the evil gods, but also offer money and food every month to seek peace, the faction even buys the official government, and its prestige in the local area is increasing day by day, and it has been rampant for decades, because of its secretiveness, it is regarded as an evil faction by the righteous way.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were continuous uprisings in various places, and Yuan Shangqing, the third-generation head of the Yin Ghost Sect, was not small, seeing that the heroes were competing for hegemony and his own power was getting bigger and bigger, so he had delusions and infatuations, and even wanted to "ascend to the heights", imitate the Yellow Turban Uprising, cut off the dominants, and take a piece of the pie from the troubled times!

Yuan Shangqing was originally a genius in the world, and he watched the sky at night and found out that "the emperor is now, and the world has changed hands", and he summoned all the people in the sect to calculate, and finally calculated that the future co-owner of the world was Wu Guogong, the Red Turban Army at that time-Zhu Yuanzhang!

Yuan Shangqing and Zhu Yuanzhang secretly reached an agreement that as long as the "Yin Ghost Faction" could help him dominate the world, he would be rewarded for his merits and given the land to be crowned king.

After that, with the help of the unpredictable evil art of the "Yin Ghost Sect", Zhu Yuanzhang successively cut off several big enemies, and with the help of the military advisor Liu Bowen, the fierce generals Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others, he was invincible all the way, and finally defeated his old enemy Chen Youliang and ruled the world!

In order to consolidate the regime, the hook made by the "Yin Ghost Faction" of course cannot be passed on to the world, so he designed Yuan Shangqing and several important elders in the door to lure him to the palace to be sealed, when he was sealed, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly made a difficulty, joined forces with the righteous sect and the forbidden army that were secretly ambushed, secretly got rid of Yuan Shangqing and others, and sent troops to encircle and suppress the rest of the "Yin Ghost Sect", which took two years to finally exterminate this sect, and the big faction that had been rampant for many years perished, which is embarrassing.

These legends that are not recorded in the official history, Master Long also heard by chance when he traveled the world when he was young, as for whether it is true or not, there is no way to verify, even whether the "Yin Ghost Sect" really exists, Master Long did not dare to assert before this.

Unexpectedly, this sect really exists, and it has revived, and the power is still quietly growing, Cao Kun was lured into the "Yin Ghost Sect" by his wife Chen Qiaoyun, and Chen Qiaoyun was originally a messenger of the Yin Ghost Sect, in order to come to Hong Kong to develop and deliberately secretly connect with Cao Kun, Cao Kun already had a bad heart, and immediately agreed, and the two quickly got a place, so Cao Kun naturally became the altar master of the Hong Kong branch, and the poison in Master Long was Chen Qiaoyun's "Lost Soul" according to different poison doses, This group of poisons is a chronic poison, long-term use will gradually erode the body's internal organs, deplete the essence, cultivators are not spared, poisoning is too deep even if Hua Tuo is in the world, helpless, can only rely on spiritual power and the corresponding antidote to delay the continuation of life, because it was found too late in the end, the poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, Master Long's Taoism is not to mention, the body is not as good as before, so it is so easy to be captured by Cao Kun.

When Master Long, who learned the truth, was discouraged, closed his eyes and waited for death, Chen Qiaoyun heard Cao Kun say that Shi Lin was the "body of the five yin", and was overjoyed, and deliberately did not kill Master Long and extended his life for him, so as to coerce Shi Lin to return to Hong Kong, the purpose was to use her body to refine the "Yin Pill"!

"Yin Dan!?"

"That's right, according to legend, 'Yin Dan' is a top-secret pill of the 'Yin Ghost Sect', the formula is unknown, after listening to the persuasion medicine, the other person who can take it becomes the body of 'half-human and half-ghost', I don't know the use of the ability, maybe Shi Lin's physique is one of the medicine of 'Yin Dan', and their purpose is to refine 'Yin Dan' with Shi Lin's life!"

If these words hadn't come from Master Long, Zhang Shuo wouldn't have believed it, "So that's the case... What is the condition of your body, Master Dragon? Why can't you wake up? ”

"My body is failing, I'm going to die soon, and now I'm just relying on what little telekinesis I have left..."

Zhang Shuo was uncomfortable and lost when he heard this, and Master Long said again: "I know that you are injured now, and there is a way to help you repair your vitality!" ”

Zhang Shuo was stunned: "What way? ”

"I'm going to pass on all my remaining spiritual power to you, but in this way, I'll die instantly... Alas... Time is also fate, I can't take care of much, after I die, Shi Lin will ask you. ”

"Senior..."Zhang Shuo was uncontrollable, the two had just met and were about to part with life and death, and the old man had to sacrifice his life to save him, Rao was always strong Zhang Shuo was also sour and stinging in his heart, and tears came out of his eyes.

Master Long smiled rarely: "The young man values love and righteousness, it is rare and rare, I don't know what your name is!" ”

"Zhang Shuo."

"Zhang Shuo... Okay, after saving Shi Lin, please tell her that all the family business under my name will be inherited by her, and the will will will be under the bed in my home, let her manage it well, and don't insult the reputation of the "Long Cheng Prime Minister's Pavilion", by the way, the ethereal mirror is now in Cao Kun's hands, I will pass you the mantra to control, and when the time comes, you will use it to interfere with him, don't let the ethereal mirror exert its power...."He also told Zhang Shuo how to use the ethereal mirror and the formula.

After remembering it firmly, Zhang Shuo choked up and said, "I wrote it down, thank you seniors." ”

"Hehe, spring goes to autumn, flowers bloom, go with fate, come with the wind... I don't know what will happen in the next life... Haha, a big dream, a big dream... Goodbye in the next life, young man. ”

A cloud of golden light suddenly burst out from Master Long's chest, and together with several gases escaping from his mouth and nose, they converged into Zhang Shuo's body like a spirit bead.

Zhang Shuo snorted, the meridians of his whole body were like stormy waves, tumbling endlessly, the spiritual power was regenerated and flowed away, and the blood was boiling!

I can't imagine that the spiritual power passed on by Master Long is so domineering! Zhang Shuo was busy concentrating and absorbing, using his mental power to gather the newborn spiritual power in the dantian and turn it into his own use, walking all over his body along the limbs and hundreds of remains, and the injuries quickly recovered at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

After a long time, Zhang Shuo slowly opened his eyes, and the ropes on his hands and feet were suddenly broken by him, which showed that the injury had healed, and the aura in his body was more abundant than before, and his Taoism was refined!

If it was someone else, he would have been ecstatic, but Zhang Shuo looked sad, his heart was full of guilt and melancholy, and he let out a long breath.

"Master Dragon..."

Master Long didn't transmit any more sounds, just lay there quietly, his expression was painless, very peaceful, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he was smiling comfortably in his sleep, Zhang Shuo gently put his fingers between Master Long's snorts, and he was already out of breath.

Looking at Master Long's serene face, Zhang Shuo was sad, sighed deeply, knelt down respectfully towards Master Long, kowtowed three times, and said solemnly: "Thank you Master Long for saving my life, I will definitely live up to the trust, and I will save Shi Lin even if I fight for this life!" Your old man, in the spirit of heaven, please bless us. ”

After getting up, he covered the quilt for Master Long, bowed eleven times, and Zhang Shuo stepped aside to analyze the situation and formulate a rescue plan.

First of all, we must find out the terrain and personnel allocation here, so as not to startle the snake, and the most important thing after trying to get out is to contact Jiang Xinyi before Cao Kun and the others do it, with her help, even if the sword mountain and the sea of fire, I dare to go back and forth, and Jiang Xinyi is smart, a hundred times smarter than herself, you can listen to her opinion after meeting with her, if even she is caught, then save her first.

After making up his mind, Zhang Shuo cleaned up the broken rope on the ground, hid aside and screamed that his stomach hurt, and after calling for a while, he heard footsteps coming outside, it should be the strong man who delivered the food.

There was a sound from the door lock, and the strong man shouted through the door, "What is the boy's name?" Damn, wake me up, see how I clean you up. ”

The iron door was pushed open by "clucking", and when the strong man came in, he saw Zhang Shuo standing straight in front of him, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhang Shuo was waiting for this moment, his body was as fast as the wind, his five fingers were like claws and lightning pinched the strong man's wrist and twisted it hard, and at the same time kicked the calf, the strong man only felt that he was in a trance in front of him, and there was a sharp pain in his hands and legs, and he just wanted to scream, but a cold and sharp saber was already on his neck, so frightened that he had to endure the scream.

Just as Zhang Shuo's eyes were quick, the moment he restrained the strong man, he pulled out the military dagger on his waist and pressed it against his throat, the strong man was frightened and surprised, and he didn't know what happened, and the blade against his neck slowly cut a hole, so that he didn't dare to move a bit.

Zhang Shuo said coldly: "If you don't want to die, answer me a few questions honestly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" ”

The strong man swallowed his saliva, knowing that he was by no means the opponent of this young man, he no longer dared to resist, and said in a trembling voice: "Please... Please say..."

"How many of them have you captured, and where are they now?"

"Except... Except for you... It's just one, it's a little girl, I don't know what her name is, she looks seventeen or eighteen years old. ”

Zhang Shuo confirmed that it was Shi Lin, which meant that Jiang Xinyi was not caught, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Where is she?"

"Was... I was taken to the "altar" by Miss Chen, and it was in the factory building on the lowest floor, which was the second basement floor and the fourth floor. ”

Zhang Shuo's heart sank, it seemed that the situation was imminent, and he couldn't delay for half a moment, the strong man saw that his expression was uncertain, and the blade on his neck entered another point, and there was already blood overflowing, and he couldn't help but crack his liver and gallbladder, and begged tremblingly: "Spare your life... Spare your life..."

Zhang Shuo came back to his senses and asked again, "Where is this?" How many of you are there in total? ”

"This is the New Territories, an underground factory under the name of our altar master, there are about 60 disciples in total, including me, there are five guards on each floor, and the others have been summoned to the 'altar' by the hall master... Please don't kill me... I'll say everything..."

Zhang Shuo saw that he was almost asked, and suddenly slapped a knife on the back of the strong man, and the strong man snorted and fell forward, and fell unconscious, Zhang Shuo saw that his clothes were ragged and tattered, and in order to hide people's eyes, he reluctantly took off the clothes on the strong man's body and put them on himself, but this person was strong, taller than Zhang Shuo, so the clothes on him looked loose and could not stand.

Zhang Shuo was angry and funny, picked up some intact ropes and tied the strong man strongly, bowed deeply to Master Long's body, and then cautiously went out and closed the iron door again.

After going out, Zhang Shuo first took out the strong man's mobile phone and dialed Jiang Xinyi's phone, but the strange thing was that Jiang Xinyi's phone was actually turned off, Zhang Shuo was anxious, but he couldn't be contacted at this juncture, it was really a mistake, especially his "Qiankun bag" was still placed there for her, if she rushed to save Shilin like this, it would be tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger and killing herself.

You can only take one step at a time.

Seeing that the light of the dark passage in front of him was dim, and there was a faint sound of footsteps walking, Zhang Shuo had to cheer up his spirit, tiptoeing forward slowly, just after turning the corner fork, what caught his eye was a very large factory, and when he looked at it, most of the mechanical equipment that he could not understand was placed, and the light was slightly brighter than before, and there were four disciples wearing black robes and hats who were sitting at the opposite staircase smoking and talking, all holding sharp blades and steel pipes in their hands, as if they were guarding guards.

Inevitably startled the snake, must be surprised, Zhang Shuo stood up straight, tried to behave naturally, took advantage of the dim light to pull the hat down and walked in, while quietly observing, the two sides were originally separated by thirty meters, when the distance was less than ten meters, several disciples heard the footsteps and looked over, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the security uniform and thought it was the strong man just now, and he didn't think he would say hello and then continue to speak, feeling that something was wrong and couldn't say...

But Zhang Shuo would not give them a chance to doubt, and seized this rare opportunity to dodge close to the four people, his arms shook like the wind, and his two fingers were like lightning and flint, and the meridians of the four people were sealed in less than two seconds.

The four of them were shocked and found that their whole bodies couldn't move, so they panicked and wanted to scream, but Zhang Shuo didn't give them a little time to breathe, and they all rewarded the four people with a hand knife and knocked the four people unconscious!

dragged them to the secret passage and hid them, and estimated that the acupoints on their bodies would be naturally untied after an hour, but I believed that this time would not cause him trouble, so Zhang Shuo took off the black robe on a disciple of a similar figure, put it on himself completely, patiently checked, and walked downstairs to confirm that there was nothing unusual.

The layout of the third basement floor is almost the same as that of the second basement floor, the only difference is that there are a few torches on the decaying foot wall, giving people a dark and mysterious feeling; But this is beneficial to Zhang Shuo, he can better hide himself, so he walks normally, secretly observing the surrounding dynamics, this layer is really the same as the strong man said, there are only five people guarded, but they are standing in different positions, and their demeanor is rigorous, not loose, it looks more tightly guarded than the previous layer, especially in front of a closed iron door, the two disciples are clearly holding two pistols, which increases the difficulty of sneaking in.

Zhang Shuo thought hard about countermeasures, and suddenly heard a person ask from the side wall: "Stop, password!" ”

Oops! Zhang Shuo complained bitterly in his heart, where did he know what the password was, and the five disciples were scattered, even if he shot fast, he was not sure that he could succeed in one blow.

Just when he was in a dilemma, another hoarse voice came from the entrance of the building: "Nine shadows and blue falls, and the ghost road is immortal!" I'm sorry, the altar owner ordered us to take the 'medicine', there is an emergency, now we will send it to him first. ”

The voice just now let out an "oh", and it didn't seem to have any doubts, "Let's go." ”

Zhang Shuo's heart tightened, who spoke for him? And everyone on the second floor was restrained by him just now, and there was no fish that slipped through the net, what is going on?

Taking the opportunity to secretly take precautions, at this time, a figure appeared from behind him, seemingly holding a medicine box in his hand, but with a ghost mask on his face, his face was never clear.

"Oh, take it, don't wait for me to go so fast, follow me!"

The black-robed man handed him the things in his hand, Zhang Shuo was shocked, but he still took it, the black-robed man didn't say much, and walked straight to the front, Zhang Shuo followed closely behind, and walked to the iron door, the black-robed man took out a wooden card from his body, and shook it in front of the gatekeeper, the gatekeeper didn't speak after looking at it, took out the key from his body to unlock it, only listened to the "click", the iron door was slowly pushed open by the two, Zhang Shuo glanced at it quickly, and behind the iron door was a claustrophobic corridor, faintly flickering with firelight.

"Thank you." The man said vaguely, and walked in, Zhang Shuo followed, and when the two entered, the iron door slowly closed again.

"Boom!"

After confirming that the door was closed, a cold light flowed from Zhang Shuo's eyes, and he said coldly: "Who are you?" ”
