Chapter 16: The Followers of the Old Way
Ye Wujian's skills have improved by leaps and bounds in the past few days, and he broke through the fourth form a few days after breaking through the third form, and even realized the method of light martial arts by himself, the sword immortal is very pleased, he is worthy of being a martial arts wizard, and his martial arts training venue also has an extra plum blossom pile.
But Zhang Xueyou is not so happy, he can see him in the village every day, but the two pretend to ignore each other, seeing his attitude towards himself, Zhang Xueyou is getting more and more angry day by day, and his heart is breaking day by day.
On this day, the sword fairy instructed Bai Yu to go out on errands, the distance was long, and it would probably take two or three weeks to go back and forth, and after Bai Yu left, the sword fairy went down the mountain, and when he went, he instructed Ye Wujian to prepare a vat of spirits in the secret room, and to name the wine called "soft marrow" that he brewed, and boil the spirits hot. Although he didn't know what his grandfather's intentions were, he knew in his heart that his grandfather must have gone to find Jiang Laodao's entourage.
This secret room was built in the hidden place of Mingjian Villa, although he knew this secret room, but he never came in, this place is usually the place where the sword fairy practiced, this is the first time he entered this secret room, in fact, there is nothing special, it is an empty cave, it is said that this cave was first played out by the sword fairy with a palm qi, and later used as a secret room, he couldn't help but sigh a little that his grandfather's skill is really unprecedented.
He lit all the fires in the secret room, and saw a mountain spring gushing out of one stone wall, which merged into a pool on the ground, and the pool extended to the other two stone walls, and I don't know where it flowed out, and the water in the pool was crystal clear and sparkling. He stepped on it and tried that the water was up to his waist, and he couldn't see it. There is a large stone protruding from the waterhole, and a straw mat is placed on it, which must be the place where my grandfather practiced.
"Hey~ This is a good place, if only you could store wine for me."
When the Sword Immortal returned, it was already late at night, and he was carrying the unconscious man on his back, and the Sword Immortal threw the person into a vat of spirits prepared by the Infernal Immortal, fed him an elixir in his mouth, and sat down on the straw mat, and let the Infernal watch the changes in this person.
After about a quarter of an hour, the man groaned in pain with a look of pain on his face, "Uh... Uh...", he said to the Sword Immortal, "Grandpa, he seems to be awake, but he looks in pain. β
"It's okay, you call me again when he's fully conscious."
After about another hour, the man's painful expression gradually calmed down, and he slowly opened his eyes and looked around where he was.
"Grandpa, he's awake."
The Sword Immortal jumped in front of the man, who looked very weak in the fiery liquor. "Why did I bring you here?" Sword Immortal said.
"No... I don't know, you are... Sword Immortal and... Leaf... Leaf infernal. β
"Chen Dahai, a native of Xinxiang, has a sixty-year-old mother, a wife, and a daughter under his knees."
"You... Why did you check me? β
"I have one thing to ask Your Excellency, and I can only make this decision."
The man sneered. "Hmph, what if you check me, I'll tell you everything if you check me, the dignified sword fairy is so naΓ―ve, and he still does these tricks behind his back."
"Then Jiang Lao Dao is not a good person, your family is a good citizen, why do you want to follow this demon Dao to do evil?"
The man shook his head, "Hmph, since it falls into your hands, if you want to kill it, you have to listen to it, the master treats me like a mountain, I won't say anything, and you don't want to use my family to blackmail, this will be spread, I'm afraid you can't sit still with the name of your sword immortal." β
Jian Xian didn't think so, and put his hands behind his back, "Eight years ago, your whole family suffered from a flood and natural disaster, and there was nothing left overnight, you took your whole family to Xinxiang to rebuild a house, because there was no land, forced to survive, you took refuge in Jiang Lao Dao, who was passing by, he said that he could let your family live a fairy-like life, and you were sincere, and your physique was strong, so he accepted you as an entourage, not only gave you a large amount of silver every month, but also gave you a golden pill of Danxia Mountain for each of your family." β
"Hmph, so what!"
"How can you be sure that he gave you the Danxia Mountain Golden Pill?"
"Will the master harm me?"
"And how do you be sure he cares about you?"
"Give me so much silver every month, my dilapidated house has now become a big mansion, and there is Jindan, my family has never been sick, and I have enough food and clothing every day, and I am refreshed, this is not really treating me?"
"This pill is actually known as four-headed worm eggs, after eating the four-headed worm will become a pupa in the body, every month you need to swallow some alien eggs to give the pupa nutrients, the pupa in the human body by eating these nutrients and the essence and blood of the human body to survive, but this pupa needs to be in the body for eight years to hatch, after hatching, the body breaks out, and the person is dead."
The man glared at the Sword Immortal, "Nonsense, this is just your argument to lie to me." β
"Chen Dahai, think about it carefully, in the past eight years, when you have been out of courtesy, have you often discharged sticky, do you often want to eat meat, do you often feel that your throat is sticky, but it is not phlegm when you spit it out."
This seems to be accurate, Chen Dahai pondered for a while, and still chose to believe in Jiang Laodao, after all, he has been paying for eight years, and he has tasted the sweetness of eight years, he will not easily believe in the Sword Immortal, and he is not willing to believe it, if what the Sword Immortal said is true, it has been almost eight years now, then his whole family will die violently in a few days.
When Ye Wujian heard this, he was impressed by this Jiang Lao Dao, he originally thought that Jiang Lao Dao was just a stinky Taoist with a bad stomach and annoying people, but he didn't expect that he was a demon Dao, he was originally a cultivator, but he studied the art of witchcraft and borrowed the human body to raise Gu worms, which was really heinous. "This Jiang Lao Dao is really not a thing."
"Nonsense, that's the sick body that is discharged from the body, and after it is discharged, the body will be healthy, and naturally there will be no disease." Chen Dahai still couldn't believe the Sword Immortal, if he didn't believe it, then the two grandfathers and grandsons of Ye Wujian wouldn't be able to say what they wanted to know.
"That's not a disease at all, it's just the excrement of a pupa pupa, and it will only be excreted more and more in recent months, because in a few months at most, it will break out of its shell, and the first thing it will do when it comes out is to eat its carrier, and then it's not just you, your whole family will die without a corpse, Jiang Laodao can refine these four Gu worms into a four-headed worm Gu, besides, the four of you happen to be a family, and you eat them willingly, such a four-headed worm Gu will only be more terrifying than the ordinary four-headed worm Gu."
Chen Dahai didn't speak, buried his head and thought about something carefully, and what he was worried about, after all, what the Sword Immortal said was not unreasonable, according to his understanding of Jiang Laodao, Jiang Laodao was indeed studying the art of witchcraft again, and he did have the behavior of using human bodies to raise Gu worms.
Seeing that he seemed to be a little shaken, the Sword Immortal continued, "You don't have to worry too much, the pupa in your body has been strangled by me with this medicinal wine, and the chrysalis will be discharged after a few days, and you will be fine." β
Chen Dahai looked at this jar of wine soup carefully, the wine that should have been clear and bright had now turned into a muddy black, but he still had a strong discernment, "How do I know that the color of this wine soup is not your doing?" β
Ye Wujian hurriedly answered at this time, "Hey~ You really don't know what to do, this is a soft pulp wine I brewed myself, I am reluctant to drink it myself, and I still get such a jar for you to bathe, ah?" Give you deworming, get you right, but you doubt us, we don't know what to do, we don't know what to do! β
Chen Dahai knew this Ye Wujian's wine-making skills, not long ago he had followed Jiang Laodao on the streets of Jianxian City, and Jiang Laodao praised his wine-making skills. And everything that comes out is high-quality wine, this Ye Wujian loves wine like his life, and he wants Huo Huo to give him a large vat of wine, not to mention that he will spoil this wine, he should not be able to make it.
He finally spoke with some doubts, "If this is true, can you save my family's life?" β
Sword Immortal laughed, "That's natural, we can go home with you now, and you can also ask your family if their physical condition is as I said." β
"Okay, if what you say is true, I will know everything, and my Chen Dahai's life will be your Sword Immortal's in the future."
Jian Xian took Ye Wujian and Chen Dahai to Chen Dahai's hometown Xinxiang overnight, and the three of them shared a carriage, and the carriage was full of soft pulp wine, along with the sound of bumpy ping-pong. Ye Wujian listened to the sound of the collision of the wine jar, "My wine can not only intoxicate people, but also save people, and winemaking is not useless." β
This Chen Dahai was anxious all the way, at this time he very much hoped that what the Sword Immortal said was made up, in his heart, his life and death did not matter, he was more concerned about the lives of his family, originally wanted to let his family live a good life, so he went south and north with Jiang Laodao, if this is the case, what else to talk about living a good life.
