In the dark and dead night, in the middle of a pool covered with mist like a light veil, a huge purple-red lotus flower floated quietly on it.

Under the mist, above the surface of the pool, there are blood-red veins criss-crossed, like some kind of behemoth creature densely flowing blood vessels and meridians, which are flowing around the purple-red lotus canopy, forming an ancient and mysterious talisman array.

On the lotus canopy, there is a burly man sitting cross-legged, he is holding a blood-light red lotus pole in one hand, a blood-colored talisman hanging on the lotus pole, and the five fingers of the other hand are just right, and the palm is spread out to the sky, as if holding the sun and the moon.

"Poof—"

Suddenly, in the dead silence of the night, the man's body shook violently, and finally he bent over and collapsed, spurting a large mouthful of purple-brown blood into the pool.

As soon as the blood sprayed into the pool, the dense blood vessels and meridians on it quickly shrank like frost-beaten grass, losing the bright color that had just flowed, and turned into a dry duckweed in the blink of an eye.

The crimson lotus pole held by the figure also dried up in an instant, turning into an inconspicuous straw pole, and the talisman was annihilated into ashes in the night sky.

The lotus canopy under him was crumbling little by little, and finally lost the spiritual power that supported him, and became a pool of debris.

This formation completely collapsed......

The man staggered up from the pool of blood, stood on the shore and looked at the pool, his face suffocated, as if he had just been forcibly fed a toad.

"Fuck it! A pack of mad dogs from the Demon Slayer! It's just everywhere! ”

He gritted his teeth and cursed, and immediately pinched the trick, and the whole person sank into the ground like a puddle of mud and disappeared.

……

Xuanjing City, in the study of a high-walled mansion.

There is a middle-aged man in a green shirt who is quietly reading a book by the bright light at the moment.

He looked in good shape, with a faint smile on his face as he stared at the page.

His smile was not due to the content of the book, but because about half an hour or so ago, news came from his henchman Black Lotus Protector that the formation he had been painstakingly planning for nearly a month had been activated.

Although the events were sudden, and the sacrifices needed for the Blood Sacrifice Array were not fully prepared, at least the Holy Envoy Venerable, whom he trusted the most, made it clear that he was very sure that everything would go according to plan.

As long as everything goes according to plan, then, in a few months, his nearly thirty years of painstaking planning will come to bear sweet fruit and reap the moment of success.

It's hard not to feel thrilled and joyful for him.

Just as he was staring at the book and thinking about it, suddenly, he caught a glimpse of blood and mud suddenly gushing on the bluestone floor tiles in the center of the study.

A tall and burly man stood up from the blood mud and said in a slightly stammering tone,

"Lord...... I...... Successfully resurrected the Tianshui River Demon ......"

"Good! Ha ha! It's good to be resurrected! This is a gratifying event! ”“…… Hey? Blood Lotus, why is your face so solemn? Could it be that you are injured? ”

When the man in the green shirt heard this, he immediately put down the book in his hand, stood up excitedly and said, as he spoke, he found that the most trusted henchman in front of him looked surprisingly embarrassed.

A sense of foreboding gradually rose in his mind.

"That...... Merely...... Tianshui River Demon ...... Only survived for a moment...... He was killed again......"

The tall man hung his head and stumbled after speaking, and the smile on the face of the man in green shirt instantly froze, and then collapsed like an iceberg.

The whole study fell into a cold dead silence because of this.

After a moment, he broke the silence and asked one after another,

"Killed? How many masters did it? Don't you have a puppet standing in battle? With your one-puppet body of yin and yang cultivation, at least it can be worthy of the martial arts of the middle realm of the fifth grade, plus you said that you have successfully resurrected the Tianshui River Demon, gather the strength of the two, just with the people sent out by the Demon Slaying Division and the Criminal Department recently, there should be few opponents, why was it ...... so quickly Killed? ”

“…… The subordinates really didn't expect it...... The young man...... It should be an errand of the Demon Slayer Division...... His realm is mediocre, but he actually has the Dragon Breath Jade in his hand...... There are so many strange things about him...... Not to mention the yin and evil blood that can be forced out of my impact, I didn't expect to be a master of painting poison talismans, and a strange and kit lewd skill......"

Dragon's Breath Jade!

Hearing these three words, the man in the green shirt suddenly frowned slightly, and suddenly understood.

He naturally knew that the cultivation of the Yin-Yang Magician was most restrained by this treasure that was linked to the luck of the dragon veins in Kyushu.

Unless he personally intervenes, or has a chance to suppress this treasure......

"Dali has long had ancestral training from the royal family, and the treasure connected to the dragon seal must always be in the hands of the royal bloodline, and it is easy to leave, why would Lanyu's stinky girl easily hand it over to a young officer of the Demon Slayer Division?"

“…… The man looked very good-looking, and he was young, only about eighteen or nineteen years old, and his subordinates guessed that he was probably the illegitimate son of Princess Lanyu and others outside, and in addition, it was difficult for his subordinates to imagine who else would be handed over to this treasure of the royal family......"

"Lan Yu's illegitimate son? It is no wonder that she is thirty or six years old, and she is still unmarried, and even dares to openly refuse His Majesty's marriage...... At the beginning, I heard the eyeliner placed in the princess's mansion say that this woman is actually like her mother Diefei in private, and she is not indecent, but now that I think about it, it is not without some reason......"

After a few simple words, the middle-aged man had already calmed down Fang Cai's shocked and lost look.

He has gone through countless setbacks and failures in his life, and he has come from the body of a small end to the current point, and he has already cultivated a strong self-healing ability in the face of sudden failure.

Good things are grinding! In the face of sudden failure, he admonished himself in his heart.

After saying that, he immediately said solemnly,

“…… At this point, this plan has been completely destroyed, and you immediately start arranging for the destruction of all clues related to this plan, so that the Criminal Department and the Demon Slayer Division will not have a chance to find out. ”

"In addition, hurry up and gather other people to come to my study, I have to arrange and activate another backup plan tonight, there are only about two months left before the opening of Zhenwu Tomb Mountain, we must hurry up all the time, otherwise the hard work of these decades will be in vain."

"Yes."

The tall man nodded heavily, secretly glad that he had not been punished.

With that, the blood mud poured under the floor tiles and disappeared.

——

When Lu Renjie woke up from his sleep, he found himself lying in a luxuriously furnished room.

The surrounding walls are densely hung with delicate atlases of countless meridian acupuncture points of the human body.

What he can be sure of is that this is by no means a place for TCM massage and health care.

Because the human body in the atlas is not a static standing posture.

Some bend over, some swing punches, some run, some jump, some split......

These human body postures are different, and the dense corresponding meridian acupuncture points marked on the body also have corresponding amplitude shifts.

Lu Renjie's eyes rolled, and after a few glances around, he keenly judged that this was definitely a bedroom for a martial idiot.

Moreover, he is not a martial idiot of general status.

Because of this level of delicate and detailed human meridian atlas, it is absolutely impossible for a martial idiot of ordinary status to collect it.

King Ling......

In Lu Renjie's mind, these two words immediately appeared.

Indeed, the framing of this bedroom is very in line with the character of King Ling, who is known as the first martial artist of the Dali Dynasty today.

Then, feeling a little thirsty, he glanced at the jade white teapot on the sandalwood table next to the bed, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and pour water.

But when he moved his waist and raised his hand, he found that his arms, his whole body, even his face and head, were wrapped in thick strips of white cloth!

Under the strip of cloth, an extremely strong smell of medicine came to my nose......

"Damn, how did I get mummified? The stomach is not emptied, is it? ”

He was shocked, and shrugged his lower abdomen, except for some flesh pain, everything was normal.

Immediately, a large number of memories of the experience before the coma poured out in my mind.

“…… I must have been corrupted by the mucus in the river demon's stomach to be wrapped in this ......."

Lu Renjie's whole heart suddenly sank and fell to the bottom.

Others are disfigured, but they are good, they have only been in this world for two days, and now their whole body is completely ruined, how will they behave in the future......

Lu Renjie had a headache and cried.

"Dragon Armor Body Protection" ......"

At this time, in his grief, he suddenly remembered the body protection technique he had drawn from the ashes of the Tianshui River Demon before he fell unconscious.

"Dragon Armor Body Protection Skill", during the melee between gods and demons 10,000 years ago, countless warrior cultivators of the Kyushu human race who slay dragons explored and summarized the exercises based on the experience of slaying dragons.

"The brave dragon slayer, first cultivate the real dragon physique before you can fight the dragon."

"The cultivation method of the true dragon's physique, from the outside in, also repairs the surface of the blood dragon skin membrane on the outside, according to this method, guides the blood qi in the body to stimulate the dragon-like skin, and sheds the mortal skin of the human body."

"Wait for the blood dragon skin to cover the body, and then quench the muscles and bones with qi and blood, pull the tendons and move the bones, and secretly arrange them into a subcutaneous dragon armor to protect the body ......"

"The true dragon's physique is finally completed, and the dragon armor body is initially completed."

"The essence of this skill lies in cultivating a true dragon's inner breath ......"

"The method of cultivating the true dragon's inner breath is as follows......"

After carefully recalling the tens of thousands of words of the key points of the "Dragon Armor Body Protection Skill", the mummy on the hospital bed suddenly flicked, and it had the momentum of sitting up in shock in a dying illness.

Lu Renjie's heart was extinguished, and he once again rekindled his hope for the future life.

You can still save your own destroyed hue skin and flesh!

Even, he can make the original ordinary human skin and flesh thicker and more durable!

The introduction to this "Dragon Armor Body Protection Skill" is that it needs to be born and transformed into a layer of external flesh and skin......

It seems that he is really favored by God!

Before the drowsiness came, the pillow was prepared for itself......

On the hospital bed, the mummy's heart was filled with a sense of comfort and joy.

……

"Back to the eldest princess's words, the humble post has already used the "Black Jade Paste at the Tail of the Wall" for that Lu servant, which is the best ointment for the rebirth of skin and flesh in the current world, and His Royal Highness the Prince's skin that fell from a horse the year before last was repaired with this ointment."

"It's just that this Lu Errand has lost an inch of skin all over his body, and there are even many monsters' gastric juice residues in the flesh and blood inside, and the injury is really too bad."

"Under such an injury, he can survive, which is already the only miracle he has witnessed in the nearly 60 years since he entered the industry."

"As for how much the skin and flesh can recover, it can only depend on his physique and destiny, but I believe that there is still hope that four or five percent can be restored, and if you want to recover eight or ninety percent, or even the hope of being intact, I'm afraid it will be ......."

In the Yuxiang Garden, in a lobby.

The old medical officer stationed at Lanling Winery was answering Princess Lanyu's inquiry.

Speaking of the back, the old gentleman with snow-white hair and hunched back wanted to speak again.

On the seat, the graceful woman also understood the old doctor's unfinished meaning, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that were originally full of hope flashed instantly, revealing a touch of extreme regret.

She opened her mouth and sighed,

"It's a pity that such a natural poet has ended up with a skin disability since then, and he is also a jealous talent......"

A moment later, not long after the old doctor left the hall, a maid came in to report that Lu Renjie had woken up.

When Princess Lanyu heard the news, she frowned slightly, and commanded,

“…… If he is safe, he will choose a time to send him back to the Yamen of Moyang County. ”

"The eldest princess cherishes her talents so much, don't you go to visit this great poet who gave poems at first sight to make you steam?"

When Huan'er, the maid who was waiting on the side, heard this, she noticed that Princess Lanyu had no intention of visiting, and immediately couldn't help but interject and laugh and tease her.

The graceful woman lowered her head, glanced at the jade plaque sandwiched between the two half-hidden snowy mountains, and immediately shook her head like a rattle, and explained,

"No matter how great a poet is, if his appearance is ruined and becomes ugly, it will only increase his pity when he sees it."

"Besides, this palace is very aware of the hearts of such young geniuses, they are extremely sensitive and proud, and they don't want to be seen as depressed as before, this palace is kind enough to say goodbye, but it makes the heart of this land officer feel embarrassed and embarrassed, which is not conducive to the recovery of his injuries, it is better not to see it, just remember his appearance when he first met in the water pavilion the day before yesterday in his heart......"

"Listen to the eldest princess, what do you mean, you will never see this Lu Shicai again in the future? Even if he writes any more wonderful poems? Huan'er tilted her chin slightly and continued to ask curiously.

Princess Lanyu sighed,

"If he has a poem, the palace will read it, his face will be gone, goodbye is not beautiful, the poetry will be ruined in vain, gone, gone......"

Hearing this, the little maid smiled and said without hesitation,

"Huan'er, eldest princess, you are also a lustful person, you don't just love any poet and writer, you just love to make friends with good-looking poets and writers......"

Syllable!

Princess Lanyu's cheeks were slightly red, and she slapped the little girl's buttocks, squinting her eyes and warning angrily,

"Dead girl, then distort and dissect the thoughts of this palace, be careful that this palace sends someone to swell your two pieces of fat......"

The little girl covered her buttocks with her backhand, stuck out her tongue, and honestly shut up.

……

Lu Renjie woke up early in the morning of the second day.

This mummy, wrapped in white yarn, was sent back to the demon hunter Yamen in Moyang County by the servants of Lanling Winery.

Before leaving, he had a lot of conversation with the old doctor who was taking care of him, and learned that he had been lying in the winery for two days and two nights.

Not long after he fainted, he was sent over by the hall master of the White Tiger Hall of the Demon Slayer Division for timely treatment.

However, she hurried back to Xuanjing with two servants that night, and heard that she was in a hurry to go back to restore the case.

But at noon on the second day, she hurriedly came to Lanling Winery alone, stood by the bed and looked coldly at Lu Renjie lying on the corpse, and finally left a small wooden box for the old doctor.

said that if Lu Renjie could survive, he would hand over the wooden box to him.

When Lu Renjie learned the news, the first reaction that popped up in his mind was - urn?

After all, that night at the bottom of the Tianshui River, he was eager to save people, and he had to do intimate things to her for about fifteen or sixteen minutes.

Afterwards, she tried to punch him twice, but he was able to dodge him.

It's just that he thought about it, it shouldn't be the urn she sent, after all, it was used when he died, and there was no need to tell him to wait until he woke up to give it to him.

When he asked the old doctor to help him open the wooden box and look at it, he realized that it originally contained a white pill that looked like a diamond.

Heavenly Spirit Pill!
