Seeing me and Zhang Jianzi fleeing, the Snake Sect Leader did not chase after him, Situ Nan asked the Snake Sect Leader for instructions on how to act, the Snake Sect Leader said: "Right now, I just descended on the Dao body, and I disappeared after the paper man was burned, Zhang Jianzi was injured by me, went to the north, and divided a group of people to chase him, you lead people to chase this young man along this road, this young man is too weird to let go." ”

Situ Nan asked: "What kind of Dao technique did he use just now, obviously he can't sense any Dao Qi on his body, but even his subordinates are not opponents." ”

The Divine Snake Sect Master said: "There is no Dao technique that will make an ordinary person become a Dao Sect master in an instant, that kind of power comes from the darkness, I don't know what it is." ”

Situ Nan said: "There is a person next to Yang Sanqian named Chang Yan, this kid is the same age as Yang Sanqian's dead son, and his eyebrows and eyes are a little similar, plus he has such a strange thing hidden in his body, could it be Yang Sanqian's son who is dead, the rumors of the book of life and death back then were in a uproar." ”

The Divine Snake Sect Leader shook his head and said, "It's unlikely, that young man is in his twenties and hasn't entered the Dao Gate yet, how can the son of Yang Sanqian and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi let him have a strange treasure and not enter the Dao Gate, even if we don't kill him, let others find out his weirdness and not spare his life." Do you know what his name is? ”

Situ Nan thought for a while and said: "According to himself, it seems that his name is Guo Huaiyi, his father's name is Guo Daozhen, nicknamed Guo Blind, listening to his tone, this Guo Blind seems to be some kind of incredible person." ”

"The master surnamed Guo, Guo is blind?" The Divine Snake Sect Leader wondered. "I've never heard of such a person, I'll let people check it after I go back, you take someone to chase this Guo Huaiyi now, if you guess well, he used something that doesn't belong to him too many times his strength, and he is not far from death, if he can't run, it's best to catch him alive, and if he dies, he has to bring his head up."

"Yes, my subordinates obey." Situ Nan said respectfully, the paper figure in front of him had been burned out, and the Dao body of the Divine Snake Sect Leader had disappeared.

By this time I had fled to a dilapidated temple, and I was so tired that I lay in the grass and could not lift up any strength.

Originally, the journey from Qingliang Mountain to Yaowang Mountain would take dozens of miles, and there were barren grass and dangerous places along the way, Dou Ding and I were tripped several times, and finally we were so tired that we didn't have the strength to speak, and those people from the Divine Snake Sect were all people who cultivated Dao Qi, and they were not as tired as us. Later, coupled with the fact that I used the Book of Life and Death, I spent a lot of life essence, so I had no strength at all at this time.

My head was groggy inside, in fact, when I said goodbye to Zhang Jianzi, I knew that if I was discovered, I would definitely die, and I didn't want to drag him down.

Thinking that Xiao Douding was dead, I couldn't help but moisten my eyes again, and my heart felt uncomfortable.

I fell asleep in front of the ruined temple for more than ten minutes, and was suddenly awakened by a faint sound, I quickly got up, hid behind the grass, and saw a group of people walking in the distance, led by Situ Nan.

I saw Situ Nan take out a paper crane from his pocket, recite the Taoist recipe in his mouth, and then blew into his hand and said, "Help me find a seriously injured young man, it should be not far away." ”

As soon as Situ Nan's words fell, the paper crane looked left and right, and then flapped his wings and flew up, flying around Situ Nan twice, he seemed to be discerning the direction, and then flew towards me from a distance.

"Elder Situ's paper crane tracing technique must have discovered that kid's hiding place, let's follow quickly." The disciple of the Divine Snake Sect said.

A group of people followed the paper crane to me, I was anxious, the paper crane tracking technique I heard in Qingliangguan Mr. Chang said, the principle is very simple, is to use the spirit of the nearby small animals to summon, put into the paper crane, the paper crane will be nearby it was familiar with the terrain to investigate.

It is said that this technique came from the hand of a Daomen Dazun surnamed Wu in ancient times, and he created this technique on a whim, but he did not expect to have much impact on later generations. This technique is inherently easy to learn, and many people will take the time to contact this technique, and it is rumored that some people can control hundreds of paper cranes at the same time to help them find people, and if they chase and kill enemies, they can't hide at all.

And I could only watch the cranes fly towards me and could not do anything.

When the crane flew in front of me, it seemed to be looking at me, and it saw that I was covered in blood, and I don't know if it was out of pity or if it didn't see me at all, it flapped its wings and flew in the other direction, luring Situ Kong and the others away.

The crane landed in a clearing not far away, white smoke rising from its body, and then it caught fire and turned to ashes.

I hurriedly came out of the grass and wanted to run around the ruined temple behind me towards the bottom of the mountain.

Situ Kong, who was not far away, said: "People should be hiding nearby, you look everywhere, this dilapidated temple should be the Yaowang Temple, it has been in disrepair for decades, I didn't expect it to be abandoned like this." ”

"Elder Situ, will there be any treasures in this Medicine King Temple?" A disciple of the Divine Snake Sect asked.

Situ Nan said: "You think too much, the Yaowang Temple was looted and emptied in the worldly ten-year catastrophe, the Danshu Pharmacopoeia inside, the tea set and the medicine pot were smashed and burned, and even the statue of the Medicine King was smashed, and the underground was dug three feet, and the compartments inside were also pushed open, for fear that the Medicine King hid something good back then, even if there were good things, they were destroyed by a bunch of stupid people, how could it be the turn of others." ”

As he spoke, Situ Nan walked towards the collapsed front door of the Medicine King Temple, and I hid near the hillside against the wall, and I vaguely heard the sound of several Divine Snake Sect disciples walking around the Medicine King Temple behind the wall.

"Let's see if there's anyone over there, judging by the crane, that kid should be nearby, I hear the sound of water flowing over there." Situ Nan's voice came.

A disciple of the Divine Snake Sect suddenly stretched out his head and came out of the crack in the broken wall, only half a foot away from me, he looked at the hillside outside the Yaowang Temple and said, "There seems to be a waterfall under the mountain outside. ”

After the disciple of the Divine Snake Sect finished speaking, he retracted his head, and the footsteps of a group of people sounded, as if they were coming from both ends of the Yaowang Temple, and I hurriedly ran down the hillside, although there were wild grasses all over here, but if I was a little careful, I could see the traces of being stepped on.

After I ran to the bottom of the hillside, I saw Situ Nan and others standing by the wall I was standing on before me from a distance.

I ran to the waterfall where it flowed, and there were all big pebbles, and there was no trace of people walking on it, and there was no hiding place anywhere, so I broke off a reed and fled to the waterfall under the cover of the reeds.

I rushed into the waterfall and hid behind the water curtain, but Situ Nan and the others quickly followed, and Situ Nan and the two Divine Snake Sect disciples rushed into the water curtain.

There will be a place where people stand after the general waterfall, and even there are caves behind the waterfalls, the most famous is Huaguo Mountain, and there are many caves behind the waterfalls in Lushan, for tourists to experience the fun of cave exploration when traveling.

The people of the Divine Snake Sect saw the cave after entering the back of the waterfall, and several people immediately entered the cave to check, and after a while, several people came out again, Situ Nan said: "It's strange, there is no one." ”

Situ Nan was just about to walk out of the waterfall curtain when a Divine Snake Sect disciple pointed to a reed pipe floating on the water, and immediately pulled out the sword behind his back and stabbed it into the water.

I saw the figure on the water and realized that something was wrong, but the movement in the water was slow, I didn't have time to dodge, I was stabbed into the shoulder blade by a sword, the blood flowed, I took a sharp breath and sank to the bottom of the water, the shoulder blade was pierced, and the pain spasmed, but even if I was so badly injured, the book of life and death was not activated.

The people of the Divine Snake Sect standing on the shore watched the reed pipe float up, and the splash on the waterfall was dyed red, and they all smiled, Situ Nan said happily: "Sure enough, it's here, I'll let you die in the waterhole today!" ”

After Situ Nan finished speaking, he greeted all the disciples beside the pond below the waterfall, and I vaguely saw them riding bows and crossbows, and I thought that this time I was dead.

The sound of crossbow arrows entering the water, nailed to the stone walls around the waterhole, and a crossbow arrow grazed my leg, bringing out a splash of blood, and I desperately went downstream, but when I saw the bottom of the waterhole, I was almost so frightened that I choked out of my mouth.

At the bottom of the waterhole was a dead man, looking at me with his teeth and claws, his flesh rotting, his eyes hollow, and his mouth wide open. And his whole body was wrapped in a black anaconda, and the anaconda had already died, and the spots on the surface of his body were soaked up, looking very swollen.

The dead man was dressed in an old-time military uniform, and there was a great man's medal pinned to his left atrium.

I don't know why this person has been soaked for so many years and has not rotted, I quickly took off my clothes, trying to put this person on and float him up, so that the people of the Snake Sect thought that I was dead.

But when I dragged his arm up, his arm was suddenly broken by me, and the anaconda wrapped his body tightly, this method didn't work at all.

Woohoo!

Another bolt flew down, and my calf was pierced by the bolt, and I swam in pain, and I couldn't hold my breath.

At this time, the little Zhoutian compass that had been lying in his arms without movement suddenly moved, and I saw that the pointer on the little Zhoutian compass was trembling rapidly, and finally pointed in a certain direction of the waterhole, and the little Zhoutian compass faintly had a tendency to get rid of my palm.

I looked at the direction where the pointer was pointing, and there was a hole the size of an arrow hole in the stone wall of the waterhole in the middle.

I punched this hole, and the hole turned into a big hole, and it was pitch black, which reminded me of the huge snake cave I saw when I was in the forbidden land of Futuling, but now I have no choice, I will die if I go up, and I will be choked to death by the water in less than a few tens of seconds.

I closed my eyes and swam inside following the instructions of the little Zhou Tian compass.

Every second in this black hole felt like a long time, the last seconds of my life, cold and silent, as if sinking into a bottomless abyss.

The moment I surfaced from the black hole, I gasped for air, breathed greedily, and quickly moved away from where I was like a dog.

I don't know where I've been, I faint as I look at a bright light overhead in the pitch black space.

I thought I was going to die.

When I woke up again, I was still lying in this dark space, and the faint light above my head should be artificially inlaid jade.

No one came to save me, I still had a crossbow bolt stuck in one of my legs, and I was unconscious.

"Anyone?" I shouted softly, and there was only my echo in the space.

I dragged my unconscious legs and crawled to a stone platform that I could faintly see, and on the stone platform I touched something like a firecracker, which was covered with dust, and I opened the lid of this thing, and with a stabbing sound, a spark lit up.

This should be the ancient fire fold made of saltpeter, I blew up the little spark in front of me, the flame burned, I saw that I was in an ancient cave, the furnishings in this cave are very old, the wall of the cave is hung with oil lamps, supporting the stone platform to stand up with one foot, light the oil lamps on the wall one by one, and see everything in the cave.

In the dim light of the oil lamp, I saw an old man sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, with a white beard and a lifelike appearance, but his clothes were covered with dust, and it was evident that he had been dead for many years.

The old man rested one hand on his lap, and with the other he held a dust-covered object on the stone platform in front of him, which looked like a bamboo slip, and an inkstone and brush next to it.

I saluted the old man and then pulled out the bamboo slip, but as soon as the bamboo slip was pulled out, the old man's fingers moved, and the whole person collapsed on the stone platform, and the flesh and blood scattered into ashes, leaving only a pile of bones.

I looked at the dusty bamboo slip in my hand, and the first sentence on it was: I have written more than 80 medical books throughout my life, and the most famous one is the hereditary medicine book "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions", but no one knows that my most proud work is this one.

I was horrified in my heart, "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions" is the immortal work of the medicine king Sun Simiao, is the first Chinese pharmacopoeia "Compendium of Materia Medica" of the ancestors, the medicine king Sun Simiao was born here 1,500 years ago in the mountain village, because of its intelligence and studiousness, reading and progress, and follow the nearby village several local doctors to learn medical skills, fame gradually spread.

Later, the imperial court ordered Sun Simiao to serve as the eunuch of the country were rejected by him, he studied the Taoist classics, explored the art of health preservation, and also read the medical books of the people, studied the medical prescriptions of the ancients, and greatly improved his medical skills, it is rumored that he took Ganoderma lucidum all his life, and finally died without illness at the age of 101.

However, the bamboo slip in my hand is another record, looking at the age recorded on it, it was actually written in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Sun Simiao was a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, specifically he was born before the Tang Dynasty, after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, he went through five dynasties and ten kingdoms to the Northern Song Dynasty, so Sun Simiao had to live for at least four hundred years?

Bamboo slips said that Sun Simiao studied Taoist Danshu and health preservation throughout his life, and has been longing for immortality, and then he faked his death and lived in seclusion, looking for all the things in the world that can prolong life, remove pharmacological rejection, and finally eat himself into a medicine furnace, he guessed that after his death, a human pill will be formed in his body, and human pill is similar to the elixir of life, although it can not really live forever, but it can definitely prolong life, let people live more than 200 years old, take it to remove all diseases, not invade all poisons, and even rejuvenate and rejuvenate, and stay young forever.

I opened the bones on the stone platform, and really saw that there was a thing like a colorful pebble among the bones, and I used to hear that the Buddhist master would drink a large amount of miraculous medicine before he died, so that he would not rot after death, and become a Buddha in the flesh, or a relic appeared in the body, to prove that his merits were immeasurable, and the Taoist people were also alchemy and cultivation, eager to become immortals.

But throughout the ages, whether it is the emperor and the prime minister or the founders of the various sects and factions of Taoism, history has not clearly recorded the matter of ascending to immortals, and even the current Taoist supreme is all people who have lived to be more than a hundred years old, and their skills have reached the peak, and they have also heard of immortality or immortality.

And Sun Simiao actually used himself as a medicine furnace, and used the years as a furnace to roast and refine the human pill, such a feat can be regarded as a precedent, I looked at the human pill in my hand, and there was no record on the bamboo slip how to take it, is it swallowed directly into the stomach?

There was also a bronze mirror on the stone platform, and I remembered that when I left with Zhang Jianzi, he said that my hair had turned white after I used the book of life and death.

I dusted off the bronze mirror, and the mirror owner startled me, my hair was gray, only a few were dry and yellowish gray, and my face was wrinkled.
