The next morning, before Grandpa Xue and Xue Yu got up, Xing Ti got up, left a silver ingot on the table and quietly left Gu Village, all the way north.

Although I heard Grandpa Xue say that Jingnan Pavilion had been burned down by fire, Xing Ti still wanted to see with his own eyes if he could find some clues about Mr. Si Jing.

Starting from Tanimura to the north, it took about ten days to finally reach the end of the trip.

It is estimated that it is because of the big snow mountain that is too far north and close to the Tianshan mountain range, and snowflakes have begun to fall in the sky.

Xingti rode his horse, looked up to the north, and there was a white expanse, and there was already snow above the mountainside of the nearest Daxue Mountain, and there was a river with melting snow and ice on the side, which should be the one leading to Gu Village.

Xing Ti drove his horse forward, and what he saw was a ruin, full of charred wood and stone, abandoned alchemy furnaces, destroyed medicine gardens, and many more watts and crockpots.

The torturer dismounted, walked into it, and flipped over. Many of the books had been washed away by the rain, and there was only dirt and extremely blurred handwriting on them, which should have been medical books or something.

Xing Ti came here to find a prescription, and on the night when Hua Ji made trouble in Liufu in the capital, there was a woman who used medicine to improve her cultivation. Ying Longwei studied taking medicine at that time, and then based on the information from all sides, he came to the conclusion that the most likely one with the Danfang was here.

Emperor Qiandi was not at ease when he handed it over to others, and the shadow could not easily leave Emperor Qian's side, and a group of dead soldiers who worked hard could not be of such great use, so they finally decided to send a torturer to investigate. Emperor Qian's death order was to find the missing Mr. Si Jing and get the prescription.

Originally, I thought it was nothing, but when I came to the Northern Wei Dynasty and saw this vast snowy mountain, it was indeed not easy to find someone.

After turning it around, Xing Ti didn't find any valuable clues, presumably useful things had already been taken away by the gang who set fire to the door.

Xing Ti crossed his waist, looking at the barren area around here, and the vast snow-capped mountains in front of him, he felt at a loss. A cold wind blew, and Xing Ti couldn't help but shiver, and couldn't help but tighten the cotton robe on his body.

"This hellish place is deserted, and there is not even a place to shelter from the wind and rain. ”

Xing Ti was indeed very distressed, Emperor Qiandi explained the task, although he said that he would not really want his own head if he couldn't complete it, but Xing Ti still thought that he could go back with some gains, so he simply found a place to settle down and slowly investigated for a few days.

The torturer untied Ma Jiang and patted the horse's head and said, "Man, let's go play by yourself for a few days." And he let the horse go.

Xing Ti put the bag he took off on horseback on his body, patted it, and said, "Fortunately, I have enough dry food." ”

There is no other place to shelter from the wind and rain, Xing Ti simply walked to the back mountain, this vast snowy mountain, it should not be difficult to find a temporary shelter in the cave, do not forget to sharpen a walking stick with a knife, so as not to accidentally step on a wild hole covered by ice and snow or a hunter trapped.

It didn't take long for Xing Ti to find a decent cave in the valley not far behind the ruins of Jingnan Pavilion. After confirming that it was not a wild bear's den, he quickly picked up some dry firewood, found a few good medicine pots to boil water, and by the way, brought some doors, windows, and wooden planks from the ruins of Jingnan Pavilion to cover the cave and his bed.

In this way, it was already dark outside, and there were all kinds of strange sounds in the mountains at night, and the cold wind was howling, and Xing Ti casually ate some dry food to deal with two mouthfuls, and then lay on a wooden plank against the fire and squinted his eyes, and fell asleep.

"Big brother, big brother, wake up, there's a horse bandit coming to rob the village. Xingti heard a child in his ear shaking himself vigorously with a crying voice.

Xing Ti opened his eyes with difficulty, and the child in front of him was not Tanimura's Xiaoyu. Xing Ti shook his very heavy head vigorously, felt dizzy, and touched the saber on his waist Kuaiyu, and found that there was nothing empty, as if he had forgotten a lot of things.

Xing Ti hurriedly got up and said, "Xiao Yu, what kind of horse bandit?"

"I don't know, they said that big brother you stole their things in the north side of Jingnan Pavilion and asked you to hand them over, big brother, you run from the backyard quickly, the horse bandits are coming soon. Xue Yu's anxious tears rolled up.

Xing Ti shook his head, couldn't think of what happened before, and vaguely remembered what kind of prescription there was. touched his arms, and sure enough, he found a prescription, and then he suddenly realized.

Xingti then hurried out of the backyard window and hid under the stone bridge by the creek outside the valley village.

I thought that this was the end of the matter, but I didn't expect that Grandpa Xue and Xue Yu would be implicated because of this matter. When the torturers heard the news, the self-proclaimed horse bandits did not leave.

Instead, Grandpa Xue, Xue Yu and people related to the Xue family were arrested, and all of them were detained at the head of Gucun Village. released the news, regardless of whether it has anything to do with Xingti or not, as long as Xingti does not return the stolen things, these Xue family and related people will have to fall to the ground, and the time limit will be at noon the next day.

Torture, who had already escaped, heard the news and struggled in every possible way, and finally felt that he should come back, and he couldn't ignore the lives in front of him for his own selfish interests.

In the end, Xing Ti arrived at the head of Gucun Village before noon.

Looking at a group of horse bandits with black scarves that don't look like horse bandits, there is a total of one Liangyi Realm Grand Master. Three masters of the Four Elephant Realm, more than a dozen martial artists of the Bagua Mirror, Xing Ti knew that he was by no means an opponent, and the only weapon did not know where it had been lost, and he would die.

The bandit leader said disdainfully when he saw the torture coming back: "I knew that you would come back, and the things should be returned." ”

Xing Ti walked to Grandpa Xue and Xiao Yu and glanced at him, smiled, and Grandpa Xue couldn't help but sigh: "Just leave, what are you going to do when you come back, they won't let you go." ”

"Big brother, go quickly, they won't let you go. Xiao Yu cried and shouted.

Xing Ti helped Xiao Yu wipe away her tears and said, "Man, don't cry." Don't worry, big brother is fine. Grandpa Xue, wait a minute, you will take everyone all the way to the south, how far you can run, don't look back. ”

After speaking, Xing Ti walked to the edge of the fire not far from the horse bandits, took out the prescription, hung it above the flames, and said, "Let this group of villagers go first." ”

The bandit leader sneered and said, "Hmph, if you have yours, release you." ”

The villagers who were released ran all the way south under the leadership of Grandpa Xue, and the bandit leaders of the Great Grandmaster of the Liangyi Realm were not in a hurry, watching the villagers flee, and then staring at Xingti.

After almost an hour, the bandit leader finally couldn't hold back the cruelty and said to Xingti: "Brother, it's almost, it's been so long, it's been long enough, but I promise that they will still die, but give me this prescription from you, and I can give you a chance to live, provided that you take refuge in my master." ”

Xing Ti looked at the bandit leader and sneered: "I understand the truth, just to have peace of mind, and I will also promise you that this prescription will be extinct today." ”

Before he finished speaking, Xing Ti felt that the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth was oppressing him, and he felt that all his internal organs were squeezed and deformed, obviously the great master made a move, Xing Ti spit out blood and used all his true qi to protect the fire below, and put the prescription into the fire little by little until it burned.

"Bastard, I want your life. ”

Originally, the bandit leader had been on guard, interfering with the cultivation of the Great Grandmaster of the Liangyi Realm at any time, but he never thought that Xing Ti was really not afraid of death, and he didn't want the last chance to save his life when he was forced into a desperate situation, and his will was quite amazing.

Later, Xing Ti only knew that as soon as the Great Grandmaster of the Liangyi Realm made a move, he would be destroyed and his soul would return to the Nine Heavens.

Suddenly, Xingti, who was sleeping in the cave, suddenly woke up.

I found that I had already sweated a lot, the firewood still had a faint flame, the howling of the cold wind outside and the roar of the beast still did not stop, and I felt a little relieved when I touched the saber on my waist and the fast rain was still there.

It's really a strange dream, Xing Ti thought, couldn't help but scold himself for being stupid, and opened the prescription in the dream to remember, this trip to the north will not be complete.

Of course, this is also a joke, Xing Ti sat up and rubbed his eyes, ready to pour some tea to moisten his throat.

Suddenly, the torturer's sweat hair exploded, the cold light flashed, and with a "swish", the torturer lifted the knife out of its sheath, and shouted at the entrance of the cave with fast rain: "I don't know who Your Excellency is, and what advice do you have for visiting late at night." ”

I only heard a soft voice from the entrance of the cave, and said slowly: "Put the knife down, if I have malicious will towards you, you are a corpse now." ”

Listening to the voice, you can confirm that it is a man, and the torture is also thinking about it, and he can enter the cave silently, and he is not aware of it. If you want to kill yourself, I guess I will have ten lives dead by the time I sleep.

Xingti is not a person who grinds, put the knife back into the sheath, squatted down and dialed the firewood and added some dry firewood, and poured two cups of hot water, "Seniors please, juniors torture mention, I don't know what the seniors are doing when they visit late at night?"

I saw the man slowly walk over and take the teacup in the hand of the torturer, and drank it all, "I know, this cup of hot tea is really comfortable, another cup." ”

Through the firelight, he saw that this person was dressed in a white robe, about forty years old, and had an intimate temperament, not like a bad person, but the white hair with a shawl looked a little demonic.

Xing Ti poured another glass, and didn't say much, although this person had no malicious intent, but the origin was unknown, and he appeared silently here, so let's take a look first.

"Two cups of tea and water are a little warmer, and I don't have anything good, so I promise you this. With that, the white-haired and white-robed man handed him a gray-white silk cloth.

Xingti didn't take it, but just looked at the white-haired man with a puzzled expression, wondering if he was sick. In the middle of the night, I was scared a lot, either to give some silver, to give a piece of cloth or something, and to go to the thatched house is not without straw paper.

The white-haired and white-robed man held it above the firewood pile and looked at Xing Ti with a smile, Xing Ti was a little familiar when he saw this scene, and then looked at the silk cloth carefully, and suddenly stared at the white-haired and white-robed robe, Xing Ti couldn't believe that this kind of thing would happen.

The white-haired and white-robed man tilted his head and said with a smile, "If you don't want to, I'll throw it away." When he had finished speaking, he threw the silk cloth into the fire and burned it.

"Yes, yes, yes. "No matter how many doubts you have, you have to get this prescription first, isn't this the purpose of this trip.

"Ju Yuan Dan?" Xing Ti looked at the prescription and whispered.

The white-haired and white-robed man nodded and sighed, "Yes, that's what many of you are here for. ”

Xing Ti hurriedly put this prescription into his arms, as if he was afraid of being asked to go back, Xing Ti immediately got up and said, "Thank you seniors for your generous gifts, dare to ask your seniors if they are Mr. Si Jing?"

The white-haired and white-robed man calmly kept this salute and said, "What, don't I look like it?"

Xing Ti smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's really not like it, no one in the next news and the villagers in the south have mentioned that their predecessors have white hair when they are not confused." ”

Mr. Si Jing looked at his white hair with a bitter face: "It's really no wonder. ”

"I don't know, but the seniors are white-headed because of the sect. Xing Ti asked cautiously.

"Actually, you're asking why you gave you this prescription, right? I'll tell you about it. ”

Mr. Si Jing recalled with a bitter face.

It is also necessary to start from before the destruction of Jingnan Pavilion, originally every year at the turn of spring and summer, Si Jing would take his disciples into the periphery of Daxue Mountain to collect some rare medicinal herbs, such as snow lotus, cold grass, and winter ginseng...... Herbs endemic to snow-capped mountains.

But just last year, in July, I entered the mountain a month later than usual. I don't know why it was supposed to be a month before it snowed in the Great Snow Mountain, but suddenly the cold wind blew heavily, the snow fell, the cold snap surged, and the cold air that penetrated the bones froze so that several disciples with low cultivation suffered from cold disease.

Si Jing had no choice, in order to avoid more disciples from encountering the cold, he could only find a cave to avoid first, and then go out of the mountain when the cold weakened.

But I didn't expect that the cave was once inhabited, and the prescription was found there, and it was placed in a two-story jade box.

But at that time, Si Jing didn't pay attention to the prescription, and all his attention was on the second layer of the jade box. I only feel that the second layer of the jade box has a chill that penetrates the bones, the kind that is simple and cold. At that time, Si Jing was shocked, what kind of cold thing was it, and the great grandmaster of the Liangyi Realm could not stand it. Si Jing asked the disciples to push it away, and they ran their own cultivation, slowly opening it. When a gap was opened, a slight pale cyan fluorescence came through. There is also a faint aroma, which is very soft.

Si Jing immediately closed the lid, roughly guessed what it was, and then opened the prescription and looked at it to be sure. It turns out that this prescription records a kind of Juyuan Pill that allows people to improve their cultivation for a short time, which is useful below the Liangyi Realm, the lower the realm, the higher the damage, and there is inevitable harm to the human body. However, people in the Liangyi Realm have the benefits of prolonging life and consolidating the foundation of the Yuan. And the second layer of the jade box is the most important main medicine of Juyuan Dan, the thousand-year-old cold marrow, such a little cold marrow, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as priceless.

Si Jing, who was already extremely obsessed with medical books and pharmacy, began to devote himself to research after returning to the sect, and ordered his disciples not to spread the word. After half a month, Si Jing finally couldn't hold it back, prepared all kinds of auxiliary drugs for the prescription, and opened the furnace for alchemy after the prescription was thoroughly studied.

The result can be imagined, it must have been successful, a total of about fifty Juyuan Dan was made, Si Jing ate two by himself, the first one was obviously effective, and the second one was not very significant. Although the medicinal effect is as the prescription says, it has the effect of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan in the Liangyi Realm, but there is a thousand-year-old cold marrow in the medicinal effect, which can only be resolved by reaching the Liangyi Realm and attracting the Yin and Yang Qi refining body of heaven and earth, so it is harmful to those below the Liangyi Realm.

Then the news leaked out somehow, and after half a month, a group of people came to Jingnan Pavilion, obviously not good, the leader of the team was a green shirt and a Confucian old man, asking Si Jing to hand over the prescription and the Juyuan Dan that had been refined.

As the saying goes, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. Si Jing felt the breath of the old man, it was also a two-instrument realm, but the other party gave him an unfathomable feeling. There was no way, Si Jing could only compromise for the safety of the disciples in the sect and handed over the prescription and Juyuan Dan.

But even so, Si Jing still played and didn't expect that people were unpredictable, and that night they still caused the destruction of today's gang.

None of the disciples in the door were spared, and the entire Jingnan Pavilion was burned down by the fire, and he was pierced through the heart by the old man in a green shirt and nailed to the ground.

Xing Ti was about to ask, but Mr. Si Jing waved his hand not to interrupt and continued.

But no one knows, including Si Jing himself, didn't expect that his internal organs were all different from ordinary people, which means that Si Jing's heart grew on the right side, so he survived by luck.

Later, Si Jing hid in this snowy mountain and devoted himself to cultivation, and under Si Jing's crazy cultivation, he made rapid progress, but in the end, he almost went mad, resulting in a white head overnight, but fortunately saved his life.

On that night, Si Jing figured out one thing, since you killed me, you don't want me to reveal the secret of Juyuan Dan. Then I want to publish it out and prevent them from succeeding, and I have to find someone with a gentleman's heart to pass on the prescription, so I will do it.

Hearing this, Xing Ti suddenly realized that he understood the whole story, but the two questions were not very clear, "May I ask Mr. Si Jing how to create a dream for me? I have never heard of any mental control exercises." ”

Si Jing smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter, some poisonous mushrooms will make people hallucinate if they eat it." As long as I develop some similar powders, I only need to give you a little traction while you are whispering, and you will hallucinate. ”

Then Xing Ti thought about it and asked, "Then what will happen if I run away with the prescription and don't save people?"

Mr. Si Jing looked at Xing Ti, smiled, and didn't speak, looking like you guessed for yourself.

Xing Ti couldn't help but feel a chill rush to the back of his head, but he didn't expect to be wandering on Huangquan Road for a while. If you die in the illusion, you will live, and if you live, you will die.

"Okay, I'm done with what I'm going to do, and I have to go back and practice hard to avenge my annihilation. Mr. Si Jing's eyes flashed with murder, "Okay, boy, I hope you do good deeds, otherwise I will clean up with you one day." ”

Xing Ti hurriedly stepped forward and said: "In Xia Bucai, I am in charge of the law department, Mr. can go to Daqian with me, and I will definitely avenge Mr. in the future." ”

Si Jing shook his head and didn't stop, "No need, it's better to do some things yourself." ”

After saying that, he disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that Mr. Si Jing didn't pat his head, he didn't ask anything, and looked out of the cave: "I haven't asked Mr. yet, where is the thousand-year-old cold marrow." ”

"In the depths of the snowy mountains, each depends on chance. Mr. Sijing's voice echoed through the valley.

Xing Ti smiled bitterly and shook his head, but pull it down, this bit of cold is enough for himself, and even the ordinary Great Grandmaster of the Liangyi Realm will shed his skin if he doesn't die in the depths, but he doesn't want his own life, so let's go back to sleep.
