Chapter 54: Foreshadowing of the Storm and Foreshadowing of Youth
"Sir, Wu has been waiting for a long time. ”
With an expressionless face, he walked straight past Xi and said, "Go back, I don't plan to trade with you." ”
"No, I'm not here to represent the Charm, or to represent Xiling, but in my own capacity. Xi chased after him and stopped him.
"Okay, I'll correct that. She looked at Xi strangely, "I'm not going to trade with you." It's not you, it's you. ”
"I would like to ask my sir to help me save someone. Xi didn't seem to hear what she said, and still said to herself.
Hearing Xi's words, she laughed out loud: "Is it the first time you've heard of my name?
"On the contrary, I am familiar with my husband. As she spoke, Xi stretched out her right hand. The palm of the palm was spread out, and it was a copper kettle the size of a thumb.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and he froze in place. After a while, he said slowly: "I'll hear your story." ”
Xi took off the ghost mask, revealing a face that looked like broken meat, and said, "Mr. Wu has already heard the story. ”
Thirteen years ago······
In the mountains dozens of miles away from Yisang City, a young man less than 20 years old, with a bloody face, holding a girl covered in blood and unconscious, limped step by step towards a bamboo house in the mountains.
"Anyone?" the young man hissed and cried out. Hoarse and trembling voices echoed through the mountains, and no one responded.
"There is ······"
At the same time, beneath the cliffs, behind the lush ferns, a hidden cave opens its pitch-black throat like a jackal. On top of the cliff, a broken vine hung down to the hole, and there were still blood stains on the vine. In the depths of the cave, a young man carries a medicine bag and a torch, reading the ancient inscriptions on the stone wall.
"Oh my God, this is the ancient medical Tao that the master once mentioned!" the young man exclaimed, "It is recorded in such a place. ”
The young man's palm was badly bruised, but he didn't feel anything. Touching the inscription on the wall, the young man was like a big child who saw his favorite toy, and his face showed unconcealed joy. After looking at it for a while, the young man hurriedly took out a straw stick from the medicine bag, dipped it in some dark potion, and prepared to write down the words on his clothes. At this time, he realized the wound on his hand, gasped in pain, and casually applied some medicine to it.
"If it weren't for the broken vine, it wouldn't have hurt like this······ But if the vine hadn't broken, I wouldn't have found it. The young man smiled wryly.
The young man memorized as he quickly scanned the contents of the wall. When he saw the last stone wall, the young man frowned.
"Immortal body, and such a thing?" the young man read to himself, staring at the inscription on the wall, "I have been mad with hatred, and in despair, I have created my own method of immortality. The soul is immortal, and the body is immortal. The hand is full of vitality and the body is highly poisonous. The immortal body freed me from a desperate situation and pushed me into the abyss. I have written the law of immortality on this wall, and if any future generations see it, do not take it as evil. ”
"The hand is alive, and the body is highly poisonous. As soon as he read the beginning, the young man instinctively sensed the dark murder hidden behind the words, "Is this a medical skill or a witchcraft?"
"If you want to save people, it's the greatest medicine in history. If you want to kill, sorcery is not worthy of its horror. ”
A muffled voice suddenly came from behind, accompanied by an ancient smell of blood. The young man was startled, and when he looked back, he saw a pair of copper bell-like eyes slowly floating in the darkness, revealing a faint blue light. The torch leaned forward, but it was a huge demon beast, with a human upper body and a beast lower body, with two legs and four arms, and wings on its back.
"Yizhao!" the young man shook his hand and almost threw the torch on the ground.
"You can read the ancient inscriptions, where did you come from?" Yizhao walked up to the young man and looked at him condescendingly.
"In the lower frost mountain Qi Rang, the division out of the ink cang. Qi Rang said nervously.
Yi Zhao looked at the young man in front of him, didn't say a word, and another face involuntarily appeared in his mind.
Why does this guy look so much like that guy? It's just that he has more pupils in his eyes, and his skin isn't dark and blue.
"You······ It's like him. After a while, Yi Zhao couldn't help but speak.
"Who?"
"A devil. ”
"You also say that I look like a devil, so who is the devil?" asked Qi Rang.
"Oh, has anyone ever told you that?"
"Nobody told me, it was a half-demon who told me. ”
"Have you seen other half-demons?"
"I've been to the Huangmu Mountains in the western part of the Xilin Empire, healed them, and met their leaders. ”
What Qi Rang said was referring to the gathering place of demon beasts in the Xiling Empire. More than 3,000 years ago, humanity won the Armageddon against the Demon Beasts and began the cleansing of the known world. The so-called known world stretches from the impassable Xuqin Mountains in the west to the Hongnuhai Sea in the east of the continent, while the primeval forests of Liuze organized the expansion of human civilization to the south, and the Gobi in the north and the desert in the Western Regions discouraged the imperial power. After the defeat of the demon beasts, a mysterious tribe crossed the Void Qin Mountains out of nowhere and fled the known world. Most of the monsters moved to the southwest of Ruze, which is also known as the Demon Domain. There are also a small number of monsters left in the human world, either lurking in the mountains in a no-man's land, or mixed in the chaotic land of the northern frontier of the Western Regions. There are also demon beasts that are surrounded and suppressed by humans, and they are not allowed to reunite together, and they resist stubbornly under the protection of some or a certain powerful demon beast, trapped on isolated islands, and the Huangmu Mountain Range is one of them.
Among the world's monster gathering places, the Huangmu Mountain Range is the most famous one. There are at least ten half-demons in the mountain range, and it is rumored that the leader is an ancient half-demon. Even the Xiling Empire did not dare to take action against the Huangmu Mountain Range easily, and just sent an army to besiege the mountain range. In the past hundred years, humans and the demon beasts of the Huangmu Mountain Range have formed a strange balance.
"You've been to the Huangmu Mountains! ”
"Demon beasts, like humans, have life, and I think there is a need for a doctor in the Huangmu Mountains. Qi Rang scratched his head and smiled, "Those demon beasts almost killed me at first, but I won my trust with sincerity. To be honest, sneaking into the blockade of the army on the outskirts of the mountain range is much more difficult than curing the demon beast. ”
Looking at the simple and shy young man in front of him, Yi Zhao couldn't connect him with that person.
"But how do you prove that what you say is true?"
"I didn't lie to you. Qi Rang suddenly became anxious, "I have seen their leader, just like the legend, an ancient half-demon. That's it, like you, to say I'm like a devil. ”
"Who is it?"
"It's called Salan, and it's a half-human, half-snake monster. ”
"Salan!" Yi Zhao's pupils shrank suddenly, "It's in the Huangmu Mountains!
"Do you know it?" Qi Rang asked tentatively.
"No!" Yi Zhao flatly denied, his gaze turned to the side, "I don't know." ”
Qi Rang glanced at Yi Zhao strangely, then changed the topic and asked, "You just said that this immortal method is both a medical technique and a demon technique, can you explain it more clearly? Do you know this immortal body? Who created it?"
As he spoke, Qi Rang turned around and walked towards the stone wall. Na Yizhao pressed Qi Rang's shoulder, pushed him away, walked to the stone wall, stroked the inscription on the stone wall, and said, "The person who created it? I know him, but today I know who he is." ”
"Who?"
"You'll find out later. ”
"What do you mean?" Qi was confused.
"Have you seen this immortal body?" Yi Zhao turned his head with a cold look in his eyes.
Qi Rang hit a spirit, but still said honestly: "Look." ”
"How much have you seen?"
"I read the beginning of a paragraph. ”
"Really? Then I'm relieved. Yi Zhao pressed his palm on the stone wall, "You're lucky to find it, I've been looking for it for thousands of years." ”
"What are you looking for it for?"
"Its owner let me find it and then let me ······" Yi Zhao's arm gradually strengthened, and the stone wall was instantly full of cracks, and the roof of the cave began to tremble slightly, "Destroy it!"
