Chapter 4: The Secret of the Zhao Family

Zhang Fanyang glanced at the Zhao Sect Master suspiciously, and then cautiously poked his head into a window in the stone pavilion.

When he saw the scene in the pavilion clearly, he immediately froze on the spot.

Inside the pavilion was a cistern, but instead of water, it was filled with a scarlet liquid.

The red liquid was like boiling water over a low fire, slowly tumbling, and occasionally some white flowers floated to the surface, and the white flowers were actually human bodies!

They floated up and down in the liquid, and their expressions were serene, as if they were doing a spa.

The liquid continued to gush, and another corpse floated up.

Seeing the face of this corpse, Zhang Fanyang retracted his head in fright, sat on the ground, pointed to the stone pavilion and squeezed out a few words: "Aunt...... Auntie? ”

Sect Master Zhao nodded and said, "Auntie has been here for more than half a month. However, it will take more than ten years for a corpse to be completely refined, and she will always be here during this time. ”

Zhang Fanyang swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said tremblingly: "That...... The liquid in that is the contents of Zhang Wei's small porcelain bottle? ”

Sect Master Zhao shook his head, turned around and walked under a pine tree.

Seeing this, Zhang Fanyang immediately got up and followed behind the Zhao Sect Master in embarrassment, afraid that he would be thrown in such a terrifying place.

Master Zhao slowly walked under a tall pine tree more than ten meters behind the stone pavilion, took out the piece of jade again, and pressed it against the side of the inconspicuous stone under the tree.

I only heard the sound of brushing, and a one-meter-square hole appeared under the tree. A long staircase leads down to the entrance of the cave, and I don't know where it leads.

The Lord of the Zhao Sect took back the jade and took the lead in going down.

Zhang Fanyang glanced left and right, and followed closely.

When he fully stepped into the cave, the Zhao Sect Master pressed the jade against the cave wall on the left hand side. I saw that the wall of the cave was concave, and the entrance of the cave was slammed shut.

The master of the Zhao Sect continued to walk down, Zhang Fanyang saw that as soon as the jade was taken away, the wall was flat again, and he unconsciously touched the position just now curiously, and found that it was smooth and there was no trace.

The two of them went all the way down, and did not see any traces of artificial lighting, but emitted a faint green light from the walls on both sides, just enough to let people see the road under their feet.

After walking for about ten minutes, I came to a stone room. The stone chamber was empty, and the walls were smooth.

Seeing Zhang Fanyang enter the stone room, the master of the Zhao Gate turned around and walked to the door where he came in, and said something to the door frame, and the wall next to the door suddenly began to move to block the way, revealing another hole.

The entrance to the cave was winding upward, and the two of them made several turns until they reached the end of the road.

Sect Master Zhao walked all the way to the corner at the end, recited a few more words, and then turned around and walked back.

Zhang Fanyang followed him suspiciously, and found that a door had been opened at the second intersection on the way back......

Zhang Fanyang's heart churned, and he said that this organ Nima is too unconventional, right? Don't play cards according to normal thinking at all!

But it completely aroused his curiosity, and he desperately wanted to know the ultimate secret here.

Zhang Fanyang quickly followed the Zhao Sect Master to the door, and there was a red light inside the door.

When I looked up, I saw that there was a blood-red wall overhead, emitting a strange red light.

The room was very large, and there were large and small jars on the walls around it, and the names of various medicinal herbs were written on the jars, many of which Zhang Fanyang had never even heard of.

In the corner of the room, there is a black stone pool half a meter square, and on the red roof, a transparent liquid is dripping, and the place where the liquid drips is the black stone pool.

The speed of the liquid dripping is very slow, if it weren't for the fact that they just happened to drop a drop when they entered the house, Zhang Fan** didn't know that the source of the liquid in the pool was actually the roof of the shed.

There is only a small amount of clear liquid in the stone pool.

Zhang Fanyang's fingers were itchy, and he just wanted to reach in to explore, when an angry shout came from behind: "Don't touch it!" ”

Zhang Fanyang was frightened by this sound, quickly hid his finger, and straightened his waist in embarrassment.

The Zhao Sect Master walked past him, carefully put on a pair of golden gloves, and then took out a small porcelain bottle the size of a snuffbox, scooped out a spoonful of liquid with the black stone spoon in the pool, and carefully poured it into the bottle to make sure that not a drop leaked outside.

It wasn't until the bottle cap was closed that the Zhao Sect Master said with relief: "This is what was refined from the corpses of the Zhao clan after more than ten years of drug immersion and precipitation, and it is called Lingyin."

This thing is soaked out of a corrosive liquid, which can corrode all organic matter, so it cannot be directly touched by hand, and the summoner must isolate it when using it.

In the past, only this kind of gold wire gloves could be isolated, but the cost was high and inconvenient. Now summoners have changed to silicone finger masks, and only protect the fingers where they need to touch this. ”

Zhang Fanyang looked at the less than half of the liquid in the pool, and asked curiously: "Just such a little spiritual guide, isn't it used up in minutes?" Now that science and technology are so advanced, can't we increase and speed up this refinement? ”

Sect Master Zhao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "First of all, the amount of this spirit is very small, and this vial is even enough for an ordinary exorcist to use for a lifetime.

In addition, our Zhao clan's secret method is not something that ordinary people can tolerate, except for the Zhao clan, outsiders can't even enter the enchantment half a step.

In addition, the people who took the medicine could not be people who died of malignant diseases, which also made the Zhao family, which was already sparsely populated, even more difficult to find.

Maybe in a few years, our Zhao clan's 'spirit guide' will be extinct. But this is also good, the province is remembered by people with ulterior motives. ”

"Ulterior motives?" Zhang Fanyang didn't understand a little, what was refined from this corpse still had someone who took the initiative to want? If he was allowed to carry such a bottle of things in his arms every day...... Wouldn't it be that I would never be alone again - I felt like I had a ghost following me at all times.

The Zhao Sect Master glanced at his trembling nephew, shook his head and smiled: "Your arsenic, my honey."

You know that some of those beasts can be used for medicine, and some of them have special abilities. If there is enough of it, it can even summon ancient divine beasts, which have the ability to destroy the world. ”

"Uh...... It's the younger generation who is short-sighted. But uncle, aren't we going back to it? ”

Seeing that the uncle came out of the tempering room and did not return the same way, Zhang Fanyang was a little confused.

The master of the Zhao Sect walked in front without a hurry and stopped talking.

When he was about to reach the end of the road, the Zhao Sect Master silently recited something to the roadside wall, and the opposite wall was silently scratched.

This time, the stone room was brightly lit, and the shelves on the walls were filled with all kinds of yellowed books.

The Zhao Sect Master beckoned Zhang Fanyang in, pointed his finger and said, "These are all books about alien beasts and alien worlds that our Zhao family has accumulated over dozens of generations.

Its content is roughly the same as that recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but more detailed and specific. It has also been said that our ancestors are one of the authors of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

In addition, there are some books about the introduction to Taoism, I don't know if you are interested in researching and returning to my Zhao family to be a spirit summoner? ”

"It's not...... Uncle, wait a minute, did you just let me carry that corpse oil bottle for the rest of my life, and I will become a part of that bottle until I die? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fanyang was not calm at all, and after a long time, the master of this sect turned out to be this wishful thinking?

Sect Master Zhao shook his head, and Zhang Fanyang breathed a sigh of relief.

But before this breath was relieved, the master of the Zhao Sect said something that almost choked Zhang Fanyang to death: "You are a descendant of the Zhao family, and you have the genes of the spirit summoner in your blood, and you can't use that spirit to guide you." But even if you don't become a summoner, as long as you don't die of a bad disease, you will eventually become a medicine leader. ”

"Then if I don't know about it today......"

"Even if you don't know, at that time, someone from the Zhao family will pick you up. Not only you, but also your children and grandchildren, as long as the blood of the Zhao family flows in their bodies, they will not be able to escape this fate. ”

In the end, Sect Master Zhao's smile was slightly bitter.

Zhang Fanyang's brain was blank, and it wasn't until he returned to the mansion with the Zhao Sect Master that he was frightened back to his senses by the sudden appearance of a room full of people of all ages.
