I didn't have a few more arguments with Lu Su, and I fainted halfway through, and in a daze, I felt like I was being put on the bed, and I vaguely heard Old Man Chen and Lu Su talking.

Old Man Chen said: "I was injured by a poisonous corpse, so I just came in time, it doesn't matter." ”

Lu Su said: "Then I will rest assured, and please hurry up and save him." ”

Immediately after that, the surroundings quieted down, and after a while, I opened my eyes and saw Old Man Chen sitting on the edge of the bed with a large earthen bowl in his hand and a cloth bag in his right hand. When I looked at it, I saw that the earthen bowl contained a bowl of rice soup like a bowl of white paste.

"The ancestral secret recipe for treating poisonous corpses, drink it." This bowl of soup was poured down, and within a moment, it was like pouring a basin of cold water on the boiling venom in my body, and my whole body was much more sober in an instant. At this time, I saw that Old Man Chen took out a palm-sized clay pot from the cloth bag and motioned to Lu Su to take off my shirt, probably to deal with external injuries.

I saw that after the clay pot was opened, it was still filled with water, and in the water was a black mass of things. This locust is not the same as what I usually see, most of them are gray-black, sometimes patterned, but these grasshoppers are as black as ink, with slender bodies and swimming in the water.

I know that the people of the Tao use grasshoppers to suck pus, blood, and sores to make injuries, and I know that this old man Chen wants to use grasshoppers to take drugs for me, but I can't help but feel numb when I look at this thing. Old Man Chen smiled kindly and said, "Don't be afraid, this locust is different from the outside, we domesticate it ourselves, and other locusts don't suck the poisonous blood of corpses at all." As he spoke, he pinched the locust and put it on my chest, feeling cold and slippery.

I couldn't help but think that if this was tofu, I was scared to pee.

The locusts crawled on the wound for a while, and soon each found a satisfactory position and began to suck blood, until there was no other feeling, and as time went by, my body felt a little lighter. At this end, Lu Su hopes that Old Man Chen can go out of the mountain to clean up those refining corpses personally, but there is no need to play with knives and sticks, the corpse refining has its own secret skills, and there will be no danger.

But I heard Old Man Chen say: "The poisonous corpse is more troublesome for you, it is full of poison, and the skin and flesh can't be touched, but my old bones are really inconvenient to travel far." After a pause, a flash of brilliance flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he said, "Why don't I teach you a method, the imperial envoy refining corpses." ”

Lu Su was overjoyed and said, "If this is the case, I am grateful." ”

Old Man Chen waved his hand and said, "However, the art of refining corpses is all passed down from one line, and if you want to learn the method, you have to worship under me." As soon as these words came out, Lu Sudou and I were stunned, looked at each other, and were speechless for a while.

Seeing this, Old Man Chen sighed and said, "My son is too honest, I am refining the corpse, and I am afraid that it will decay when it reaches his hands, so that I have no shame to face the ancestors." If one of the two of you is willing to worship my disciples and inherit the mantle, even if I fight for this old life this time, I will definitely help you achieve your goal. ”

I sigh in my heart, but to be honest, in the eyes of outsiders, learning the art of alchemy is about to be great or mysterious, but we are also half of the insiders, and we naturally know the way of the road, the vein of corpse refining emphasizes being kind to others, and the art of refining corpses damages the virtues of heaven, so it is difficult to get rich and expensive, and if you are not careful, you will die from the crossstock, and who wants to deal with corpses all day long?

Before I could speak, Lu Su said, "If you don't dislike it, I'm willing to worship you as a teacher." ”

Old Man Chen was not happy, shook his head, sighed and said, "Young man, I don't lie to you. If you worship in my corpse refining lineage, you have to pass three levels. Immediately afterwards, he talked about the origin of these three levels, and the remaining two levels of these three levels are not the third level.

This third level is also the basic skill of refining corpses, and it is necessary to 'get heavy oil'.

What is the term for heavy oil?

The so-called oil refers to the corpse oil, and the person who refines the corpse deals with the corpse, and needs to take the old corpse oil that has been passed down from generation to generation, and after that, the corpse gas will be exuded from the person's body, so that the corpse will not be flushed. Once the old corpse oil is consumed, people will gradually produce some changes, some of these changes are relatively slight physical changes, such as becoming thin and black, some will immediately show old age, and some are changes in temperament, depending on the physique of each person.

The old corpse oil is the oil boiled out of the old corpse that has been passed down from generation to generation, and drinking it is equivalent to putting a mark, and it is impossible to regret it.

Although Mr. Chen is a disciple, he is an honest and simple person, and he will tell us the benefits and disadvantages one by one, from the beginning to the end, this corpse refining is no longer in line with the trend of the times, one cannot collect money, and the other is harmful to himself. If it was shelved in ancient times, it would be an iron rice bowl to support the family, but if it was shelved until now, it would be a loss-making business.

This Lu Su just agreed to be refreshing, I guess it originally planned to deceive Old Man Chen to do things first, and when he heard that the entrance ceremony was going to be held, he was a little unstable. Seeing the hesitant look on the faces of the two of us, Old Man Chen sighed and said, "Forget it, I shouldn't be embarrassed for you, I'll rest here tonight, and I'll go with you tomorrow." ”

I was grateful, thinking that if this matter was completed, I would have to thank this old man.

The locusts on the chest, one by one, have been sucked round and bulging, looking very disgusting, Old Man Chen took off the locusts one by one, put them in a clay pot, and dragged the old body back to his room slowly.

Lu Su and I were resting on the same bed, and the two of us had nothing to say, so we rested separately.

Early the next morning, Mr. Chen carried a small bamboo basket and followed Lu Su and me towards the intersection outside the village, attracting some villagers along the way. Someone asked Mr. Chen loudly: "I said old man, where are these two guests from?" "Looking at the expression, it seems that he has a little yin and yang, and he doesn't seem to have a good relationship with Old Man Chen.

Old Man Chen was very kind, but he couldn't smile at this person, and said dryly: "My family Tiande met a friend outside." ”

The man snorted and said, "Look at the dress is a capable person, and that kid of your family can still have this talent." ”

Old Man Chen's face was not good-looking, so he snorted and lowered his head and walked forward. Along the way, there are many such neighbors, it seems that the Chen family is not very popular in this place, and on the way to wait for the car, they met another person who was looking for a ballast and said something out of tune in a strange way, which was similar to the previous words.

I couldn't help it, sneered, and was about to speak, when Lu Su stopped me and smiled at the fellow: "We are friends of Tiande, passing by his hometown, I stopped by to see the old man." The old man is at home alone, and his neighbors are still looking forward to taking care of him. As he spoke, he gave the other party a cigarette.

I remember this kid is a non-smoker, this pack of cigarettes has obviously not been touched, and I don't know when I bought it.

The fellow didn't have much knowledge, and when he saw Lu Su's magnificence, he was also frightened, and sighed: "I didn't expect Tiande to be so promising, I really didn't see it before, Old Man Chen, you will enjoy happiness in the future." ”

Old Man Chen smiled, this time from the heart, proud of his son. I didn't feel good in my heart, and I didn't speak. Later, when I got in the car, I secretly said to Lu Su: "Why was you so polite to that person just now. ”

Lu Su smiled slightly, and said: "There is a way that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, we have to leave sooner or later, we can fight for the old man's breath for a while, but I can't fight for a lifetime, if it really makes trouble, after we leave, the old man's life will be more difficult." ”

I knew that what Lu Su said was reasonable, and secretly said that I was negligent this time, if it wasn't for Lu Su's difficulty just now, I am afraid that I would have to clean up that person. Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but think of Chen Tiande, and I was even more disdainful in my heart. It is said that Chen Tiande was also a poor person before, but now he has become like this, but he left the lonely old man at home and ignored it, which is really hateful.

The car took about half an hour, arrived in the town, it was now daytime, it was not appropriate to move again, we put down our things, accompanied the old man to wander around the town, eat and drink, the old man was very lively, let me feel at ease.

At ten o'clock in the evening, when everything was quiet, we had closed our doors and windows.

At the entrance of the robbery cave, Old Man Chen set up an incense case, and there were some things on it, a corpse bell, a square compass, a red rope, a knife, and a big bowl.

Lu Su and I watched from the sidelines, and I saw him pick up the knife and cut his palm, and some sticky blood dripped down the bowl. Immediately afterwards, the red rope was soaked in a blood bowl, and after being taken out, one end was tied to the corpse bell and the other end was placed on the compass.

We had already spread a black cloth outside the entrance and exit of the thief cave in advance, and we saw that Old Man Chen had words in his mouth, a little like a magic stick. It was also the first time I saw the corpse chaser casting a spell, and I was standing not far away with Lu Su, and I didn't dare to disturb. ’

I don't know what he was reading, it's quite a long paragraph, buzzing, I can't really hear it, about ten minutes, Lu Su suddenly sighed, and motioned for me to look at the table.

I looked down, and suddenly I saw that the bloody red rope, the other end, actually moved, like a snake, and began to move slowly.

PS: I went out to run errands in the morning, and today it was a little late, so everyone has been waiting for a long time......
