Not to mention Uncle Zhao, after shaking in mid-air for so many times, I felt dizzy, and my stomach was churning for a while, making me want to vomit.

At this moment, a stone nail suddenly trembled a few times, making a slight clicking sound in the depths of the stone wall.

After that, it slowly slipped out of the stone wall, and when it fell into the pool of blood, it caused a huge wave of blood.

It was only then that I saw clearly that the stone nail in front of me, which was as thick as my thigh, was at least ten meters long, and the top of the stone nail had been artificially sharpened into a sharp quadrangular pyramid.

Immediately after that, the second stone nail also fell into the pool of blood, followed by the third, and the fourth...... When all the stone nails fell into the pool of blood, seven huge blood holes appeared on the stone wall opposite us.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, hitting my body and face, the strong smell of blood made me breathless at all, vaguely, I felt something fall into my hands with the blood, I subconsciously grabbed it, at that time my consciousness was not particularly clear, but I felt that it seemed to be a fist-sized stone, the surface was very smooth, as if it was coated with a thick layer of wax.

At this time, I heard Uncle Zhao shouting above me: "Quick, flare gun!" ”

Then I heard a gunshot, and after the flare flew into the air, it bloomed with a blinding red light, and my eyes covered by blood could faintly see that the abyss was reflected in a blood-red color in an instant.

Normal flares don't emit such a strong light, and the one launched by Xia Shibo should be specially made.

At the same time as the red light bloomed, my body was still rising rapidly, and it should be that the senior brothers outside the cave saw the red light and were struggling to pull the steel cable.

I wiped the blood from my face and looked towards my feet, and I saw that the water level of the blood pool was also rising rapidly, but the vitality in it was getting weaker and weaker.

I suddenly became worried, and raised my head and shouted at Master Zhao: "If this continues, the land will die!" ”

Uncle Zhao looked down at me and let out a long sigh: "We can't save it, we can only give it a relief." ”

Could it be that when Uncle Zhao asked me to sprinkle the yin and yang sand, he already knew that when the stone nails broke away from the stone wall, the land here could no longer be saved.

Uncle Zhao didn't speak again, he raised his head and avoided my gaze.

In fact, I didn't blame Master Zhao, I just felt the vitality of the land passing in front of my eyes, and I felt a little unbearable in my heart.

When we climbed out of the cave again, the vitality in the abyss had disappeared, and I crouched in front of the hole, looking at the endless darkness inside, feeling as if something had been taken from me, not a loss, but I couldn't recover for a long time.

Uncle Xia untied the lock on his waist, let out a sigh of relief, and saw me squatting at the entrance of the cave in a daze, so he patted me on the back: "What's the matter, there is a way?" ”

I wanted to say it's okay, but I don't know what's wrong, I opened my mouth, but I couldn't speak?

Uncle Zhao said on the side: "Senior Brother Xia, you leave him alone and let him be alone...... There is a way, what do you have in your hand? ”

After Uncle Zhao asked, I remembered that I was still holding something in my hand.

I spread out my palm and looked at the thing in my palm, only to realize that it was an iron-brown regular ball, and the surface of the ball was indeed coated with a thick wax film, and this wax was also translucent iron-brown.

Uncle Zhao picked up the ball in my hand and looked at it carefully at the sunlight.

The sunlight penetrated the wax film on the ball, and there was a shadow the size of a bean grain at the center of gravity of the ball, and that shadow seemed to be the body of the ball, and the thick layer of wax film on the outside was just to protect it.

Master Zhao took a knife and gently cut the wax film while saying to me: "This thing, but the inner dan of the land, you gave it relief, and it is repaying you." ”

I have heard that the spirit snake that has been cultivated for many years will have a snake pill in its body, a dragon will have a dragon yuan in its body, and zombies will also condense into a corpse pill in their bodies after experiencing many corpse changes, but I didn't expect that the land where they have cultivated spirituality also has a similar inner pill.

But I also know that no matter how powerful the monsters, spiritual objects, and evil things are, once they lose Neidan, it means complete death.

The land in the abyss is really dead.

After Uncle Zhao removed the wax layer, he took out a blood-red particle from it, he smiled at me and said, "Open your mouth!" ”

My head was empty, almost subconsciously opened my lips, Zhao Shibo immediately stuffed the blood-red particles in his hand into my mouth, the thing melted in my mouth, a warm current suddenly filled my mouth, and then poured into my internal organs along my esophagus, I first felt a warm temperature on my body, but after a few minutes the warmth subsided, and after that, there was no other special feeling at all.

I don't know why, after eating that Neidan, my mood is much lighter, and the death of the land doesn't seem so heavy to me.

I heard Uncle Zhao say: "This Inner Dan, you don't have much spiritual power, what about you, don't expect it to improve your cultivation, that kind of thing is all made up in novels, and it can't be true." However, although this kind of inner pill is not helpful for your cultivation, it is full of merit, and after eating it, it can make people blessed. ”

Uncle Xia also echoed on the side: "Yes, there are too many ups and downs in the life of the Dao, and if you get this merit of the land, you can resolve some of it." ”

My mood is much better than before, and I can speak normally: "Merit? Doesn't it say that the refinement of the land is due to creation, and how can it also be meritorious? ”

Xia Shibo nodded, pointed to the mountains in the distance, and then pointed to the flowers and plants nearby, and said to me: "This land has raised a living being, and this is the greatest merit. ”

A gentle breeze swept along the river, causing a few dogtail plants to sway slowly on the riverbank.

Although the land is dead, these lives are still there, and they will continue here for hundreds and thousands of years to come, along the rivers formed by time.

Life, after all, will continue.

Senior Brother Shi and the others filled the hole on the island, replanted the soil that was buried in the hole, and planted some vegetables. It was only when I saw their actions that I remembered that directly above the entrance to the cave, there should have been a green vegetable patch.

After the land died, a large amount of blood overflowed, flooding the huge pit dug by Senior Brother Bao under the old lady Huang's house, until a day later, the water that flowed out of the pipe was no longer blood, but became a sweet mountain spring. This mountain spring washed away the blood stains in the pit and also dispelled the pungent smell of blood.

After another three days, the vitality in the evil tomb disappeared, the bloody array no longer existed, and even the back mountain of the Huang family ancestral hall was missing three peaks.

But in any case, the old Huang family finally survived a catastrophe safely, before we left, the old lady Huang held a send-off banquet for us, this banquet is not grand, but because of the large number of people, it is still very lively.

Huang Changrong, who was rescued by Senior Brother Zhuang and them, drank a lot that night, and Master was the same as in the past, he must be drunk when he encountered the wine field, although I had made up my mind that I would never let Master get drunk in the future, but when he was interested, I couldn't stop him.

Probably because of the hangover, the master, who had never been sick, vomited and vomited the next morning, and also suffered from a stomach cold, with a high fever of 39 degrees.

This frightened me, when Senior Brother Bao came, he brought some Western medicine, some of which were just right for Master's illness, and Senior Brother Bao asked me to take it to Master, but my Master seemed to be very disgusted with Western medicine, and refused to eat anything, so stubborn, no one could persuade him.

In the end, Mrs. Huang found someone to catch the Chinese medicine for the master, and let me fry it again, so the master reluctantly ate some.

After a full day of recuperation, Master's fever subsided, and eating became normal, Brother Feng ordered a train ticket back to Shandong, and in the afternoon of the same day, we boarded the train and embarked on the journey back to our hometown.

I carefully recalled that among the people who boarded the bus with me at that time, except for my master, it was Liang Houzai, Liu Shangang, Zhao Shibo, Xia Shibo and my Feng brother, and the others all stayed in Huangjiazhuang.

When I was in the village before, I heard Senior Brother Zhuang say that although the matter of the evil tomb has come to an end, Huangjiazhuang still has some aftermath to deal with, and they may have to stay for a while.

At that time, it was already the beginning of the university season, there were very few people on the train, and there was only a small couple on a newlywed trip in the entire sleeper car, except for a few of us.

Since getting into the car, Senior Brother Feng has been sullen and silent, especially when he sees my Uncle Zhao, even his eyes will become dodgy.

This is not like Senior Brother Feng's usual appearance at all.

My master was addicted to smoking, but there were not many tobacco leaves left in the tobacco bag, and he was reluctant to smoke them all the way until the train drove into Shandong, and the master decided to consume the remaining tobacco leaves.

When I went to smoke, Master called me alone, saying that he had something to say to me.

When I came to the smoking place between the two carriages, Master first lit a cigarette pot and took a long puff of smoke before saying to me, "There is a way, there will be many days like this in the future, you have to be prepared?" ”

For a while, I didn't understand what Master meant: "What kind of days are so many?" ”

Master looked at the scenery speeding through the window pane of the car door, slowly exhaled the smoke, and said slowly, "The days of wandering outside. Those who do our job are away all the year round, and the four seas are home, and there will never be a stable time. ”

I asked Master, "But Master hasn't been at home for the past two days, except for the annual ghost market trip back to Sichuan." ”

Hearing me say this, Master smiled: "Isn't that all for you? If I keep running out, what will happen to the inheritance of the Soul Village, and what will happen to your studies? ”

After a while, the master sighed again: "Alas, for the old teacher, many times, I can't work as hard as when I was young. There is a way, in the past few years, I am afraid that your studies will have to be put on hold first. ”

I have been with Master for so many years, and it is the first time that Master has used the word "for Master" to refer to himself, and from Master's tone, I can always feel a trace of desolation.
