Chapter Seventy-Two: Powerful Ghosts Hook Souls, and the Dead Buy Their Lives

Zhong Ming didn't have the heart to talk to Sun Luolian, he was now thinking about how to rescue Fei Dacheng.

When life and death are at stake, how can there be love and love?

At that time, Zhong Ming failed to invite Hu Su out of the mountain, and the person who discussed the best countermeasures was naturally the well-informed Zhang Daozhen, and maybe the old Taoist priest could have some methods.

Before leaving Carpenter Li's house, Zhong Ming hurriedly ran into Zhang Daozhen's small courtyard.

After running into the house, Zhong Ming saw Zhang Nianchen holding a book and studying, and in front of him was a furnace the size of a human head.

The Ding furnace is divided into two layers, and under it is the Danhuo layer, which is filled with coal and other things, and the tongue of fire is swallowed.

It was the Dan furnace that Zhang Daozhen used for alchemy, and the master and apprentice were alchemy at this time.

Zhang Daozhen also sat in front of the Dan furnace and carefully felt the temperature of the Dan furnace.

Lao Dao is a blind man, he can't see the heat of the Dan furnace, so he can only ask Zhang Nianchen to help watch the heat, and he feels the temperature in the air with his hand on the side.

Seeing Zhong Ming running in in a hurry, Zhang Nianchen smiled happily: "Zhong Jushi, why are you free to come over today." ”

Hearing that Zhong Ming was coming, Zhang Daozhen also showed a big yellow tooth smile, and he beckoned to Zhong Ming: "Zhong Jushi, come in quickly, I just thought of a way today, this is not for you to practice the pill, practice it later, you try to see if it is useful." ”

During this period of time, the master and apprentice also skipped most of the mundane things, and devoted themselves to seeking medicine for Zhong Ming's alchemy.

Just the pills refined by Zhang Daozhen, Zhong Ming ate no less than ten pills, but it didn't work.

Zhong Ming came so anxiously, but he didn't have the leisure to be a drug tester, he hurriedly said: "Zhang Laodao, I don't have the heart to take medicine at this time, I have something important to discuss with you." ”

Zhang Daozhen also heard the anxiety in Zhong Ming's words, and stood up: "Zhong Jushi sat down first and said carefully." ”

Danlu showed it to Zhang Nianchen, and Zhong Ming and the two walked to the table and sat down, going through the matter one by one.

After listening, Zhang Daozhen's face was not very good, his brows were frowned, and he thought for a while before he said: "This matter is not easy to handle, Zhong Jushi, you also know that Poor Dao is not the opponent of Bai Yujing Daoyou, I'm afraid, I can't help you in this matter." ”

Knowing that Zhang Daozhen would say this, Zhong Ming hurriedly took out two objects from his arms.

One is the copper coin left by his father Xu Qiandao in the stone lock mandarin duck, and the other is the Yuehua pearl left to him by the old mandrill tooth.

"Old Dao, you take a look at these two things first, my father's letter said that this money can buy a life, I pondered, these two things should be very valuable, if you go to the city to buy a life, you may be!"

Hearing the name of Jishitang, Zhang Daozhen raised his eyebrows slightly, and hurriedly groped for the copper coin handed by Zhong Ming.

He repeatedly touched the texture of the copper coin, and then exclaimed: "If it is really Jishitang's life-buying money, there is a drama in this matter!"

Zhong Ming had already gotten this money to buy his life, and he knew that this was a rare treasure, after all, his father's letter said: When you are worried about your life, you can use this money to buy a way to live in Jishitang in the city.

Jishitang in the city can only be regarded as a third-rate pharmacy, and the old doctor in the shop has difficulties in treating dysentery, so how can he save the lives of people with flesh and bones?

So after Zhong Ming pondered it carefully, he felt that this copper coin was still strange, but no one could answer Zhong Ming.

Just when today's life and death were at stake, Zhong Ming took out this copper coin, hoping to buy Fei Dacheng's life.

As for that Yuehuazhu, Zhong Ming was afraid that it would not be enough to buy a copper coin in Bai Yujing's hands, so he added another color.

Seeing that Zhang Daozhen touched this copper coin and shouted, Zhong Ming hurriedly said: "Old Dao, how to use this copper coin?

"Zhong Jushi has money to buy his life, but he doesn't know what it's used for?" Zhang Daozhen was a little surprised.

Zhong Ming didn't care what the money was used for, he grabbed Zhang Daozhen: "Oh! Don't sell it, come with me to the city to save people!"

The matter of saving people is urgent, how can Zhong Ming have the leisure to talk nonsense with Zhang Daozhen.

Zhang Daozhen was pulled outside the house by Zhong Ming, and hurriedly advised: "Apprentice, take care of the furnace fire, don't let the pill be refined." ”

"Got it!"

Zhang Nianchen's answer came from inside the room.

Zhong Ming hurriedly went out with Lao Dao, but forgot that Yuehuazhu was still on the table.

The bead lay quietly on the table, shining with a faint soft light, which just attracted Zhang Nianchen's attention.

Zhang Nianchen grabbed the beads curiously, and looked at them carefully for a while before exclaiming, "This is a stone spirit?"

......

Besides, Zhong Ming and Zhang Daozhen were in a hurry all the way, and they were already on the way to Wangxian City, Zhang Daozhen and Zhong Ming both took the Rapid Walking Pill, and the speed of the two was not slower than that of horses.

When he was on the road, Zhang Daozhen also explained to Zhong Ming the origin of the money for buying life, so that Zhong Ming understood that this money was really a good baby.

The money to buy life comes from a martial arts sect that has been passed down for thousands of years - killing.

In fact, strictly speaking, killing is not a martial arts sect, but more like some kind of killer organization, mysterious, powerful, and all over Xuanbei Prefecture.

The inheritance of the killing organization is very ancient, directly chasing the era of the Taoist ancestor Zhang Daoling, and it is rumored that when the killing was established, the person in power was a generation of martial arts legends with the same reputation as Zhang Daoling, named Meng Xiang.

Not many people may remember the name Meng Xiang now, but his nickname: Soul Hooking Yama, but it is like thunder, and there are still legends of him in the rivers and lakes.

Over the past thousand years, there have been eight martial arts legends with the name of Yama, and they are collectively known as the Eight Palaces of Yama.

The head of the Eight Palaces Yama is this Soul Hooking Yama, and Zhong Ming's father Xu Qiandao is the last of the Eight Palaces Yama - the giant sword Yama.

Speaking of these eight people, they are all ruthless people who have caused a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes, whether it is the soul hooking Yama or the giant sword Yama, which one is not covered in blood and stepping on the corpses of thousands of people to stand at the top of the martial arts.

It is said that the Soul Hook Yama once fought with Zhang Daoling, who was already recognized as the first Daomen martial artist at that time, and the two were just competing for the level, not a battle of life and death.

Zhang Daoling naturally won, but it was also very difficult, and he sighed afterwards: "I only won one and a half moves against you." ”

Then Soul Hook Yama also had the reputation of "one and a half moves", and became the second strongest person under Zhang Daoling in the martial arts.

Zhang Daoling back then, just like the head of the three gods of the New Tang Dynasty today, Qin is invincible and Qin Xiong's status, and the first in martial arts recognized by the world's heroes, the person who can be recognized by Zhang Daoling will naturally not be bad.

When Meng Yan founded the Killing, the cause was not the establishment of a killer organization, but an idle gang that helped martial arts people.

As long as it is a martial arts person, you can go to the killing to receive the task, or release the task, so that the transaction can take what you need.

Most of the martial arts people are love-hate and sorrowful, so the prestige of killing is also famous because of the killing of many famous people back then, and over time, killing seems to have become a killer organization.

When it comes to killing, the first thing that comes to mind in the martial arts is the gang that even the emperor dares to kill.

As long as you have enough money, you can do everything you want.

The money here is not ordinary money, but refers to the money in Zhong Ming's hand.

The source of the money to buy a life is not simple, only if you have done enough tasks for killing, you will be killed and you will be issued to buy money.

There are three levels of life money: baht, copper, and copper coins.

Baht is the best way to buy money, and it is also the most common trading unit in the killing, which is generally exchanged for equivalent quality by quantity, and a certain amount of baht can be paid to let the killer do simple things, such as killing an ordinary martial artist, or looking for rare utensils in exchange for silver money.

Copper is very rare, if you don't do a lot of things for killing, you can't get it at all, and copper is enough to support killing a martial arts sect for it.

And the copper coin in Zhong Ming's hand can only be said to be a once-in-a-century encounter.

When the last copper coin appeared in the rivers and lakes, it was still 60 years ago, the notorious sword ghost practiced and went crazy, and the martial arts were all wasted.

Cornered, the knife ghost used a copper coin to buy his life, and wanted to kill him to ensure his safety for three years.

In those three years, he fought against a river and lake, and the sword ghost did not die.

The three-year period is to survive.

Only two hours after the deadline, the sword ghost was chopped into pulp by the enemy, and even a complete body piece could not be found.

The way to get the copper money is still a mystery, no one knows how to get it, and the murderer only recognizes the money and does not recognize the person, as long as someone takes the money, whether it is a rape and plunderer, or a righteous man and gentleman, it can be punished.

So far, there has never been a copper coin to buy a life, and this one in Zhong Ming's hand is likely to be the only one left.

Xu Qiandao's letter is true, this life-buying money can save Zhong Ming's life no matter what the situation.

Hearing the importance of buying life money, Zhang Daozhen sighed and asked: "Knowing the importance of this life money, are you willing to use this copper money to buy the fat boy's life?"

"Or can you beat Yu Su, or can I save people in his hands?"

To be honest, Zhong Ming is still a little painful, this money sounds really powerful, and more importantly, the money to buy a life can only be used once, and it will never be used again.

Zhong Ming couldn't help but take out the money to buy his life, and he rubbed his two fingers on the copper coin, one side engraved with a powerful ghost hooking soul, and the other side engraved with a dead man buying a life.

As soon as Fang Cai asked like that, Zhong Ming's heart began to be entangled.

Maybe this thing can really save his life in the future, and he will really use it on Fei Dacheng today?

Suddenly, Fei Dacheng's fat face appeared in Zhong Ming's mind, and he smirked and said to Zhong Ming: "Brother Ming, I went to the city today to inquire about the news......

The next moment, Zhong Ming's eyes were resolute, and he clenched the copper coin and said, "It must be saved!"

Even if Zhong Ming is reluctant to give up, he has to spend the money.

Zhong Ming may feel distressed if he spends the money to buy his life, but he will not regret it, if he doesn't save Fei Dacheng, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

After thinking about it, Zhong Ming's pace accelerated even more, and urged Zhang Daozhen to run faster.

When Zhong Ming came to the city gate again, the high platform that was erected here at first was being demolished by several officials, Bai Yujing's disciples were gone, and the crowd dispersed.

Some of the officials knew Zhong Ming, and they watched in amazement as Zhong Ming jumped over the high platform and shouted, "Mr. Zhong is good at kung fu." ”

Zhong Ming didn't have time to reply to them, so he went straight to the city gate.

When Zhong Ming came to the city gate, he saw Liang Yu riding a horse and running out in a hurry, and the two took a look.

Liang Yu hurriedly turned over and dismounted, panting and said: "Brother Ming, I have inquired clearly, someone saw that the guy riding the rabbit took the idiot into the mansion in the north of the city, that place is the courtyard where Bai Yujing's disciples settled, and I have also confirmed the portal." ”

When it comes to his ability to do things, Liang Yu is still very reliable, Zhong Ming nodded and said, "Without further ado, follow me." ”

So Liang Yu hurriedly turned the horse's head again, and had to go to Jishitang in the city with Zhong Ming.

It is said that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and when Liang Yu turned the horse, a snow-white tall horse galloped in the city, and the person on the horse seemed to be in a hurry, and ran very fast, and Liang Yu's horse almost collided together.

Liang Yu's black horse was frightened, hissed with its hooves, and rushed out of the city.

The black horse stumbled on the high platform with only the stakes left, and also bumped into two officials, and galloped away into the distance, leaving only a cloud of dust.

"My horse!"

Liang Yu exclaimed, subconsciously wanting to chase after him, but he was anxious about saving Fei's idiot, he looked at the direction of the horse's run, and then looked at Zhong Ming, in a dilemma.

Zhong Ming frowned slightly and said, "You hurry up and chase the horse, and leave the rest to me." ”

With Zhong Ming's approval, Liang Yu hurriedly threw his legs and went to chase his horse.

On the other side, the white horse was also frightened, hanging its hooves on the spot, and almost stepped on Zhong Ming, but Zhang Daozhen sensed the danger, shot in time, jumped up, grabbed the horse's head, and forced the white horse to the ground.

The white horse struggled and wailed under Zhang Daozhen's hands, but the owner of the horse did not fall to the ground.

The person on the horse obviously had some kung fu on his side, fluttering and falling, like a fluttering dead leaf, standing firmly.

The owner of the horse was dressed in a black suit, with a black gauze hat on his head, and a silver sheath long sword in his hand, and hugged his fists at Zhong Ming and Zhang Daozhen one by one: "Two, I'm sorry, my riding skills are not good, and I shocked your car." ”

This man's voice was soft, as pleasant as the wind blowing silver, and it was a woman.

Originally, Zhong Ming was a belly full of evil fire, but when he heard that the other party was a woman, he admitted his mistake in time, so he sighed and didn't compete with her.

Zhong Ming arched his hand and said, "It's okay." He turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, Zhang Daozhen has also pacified the horses, he Taoist is the best at communicating with all things, this white horse is extraordinary, the spirituality is extremely high, the old Taoist Shao family appeased, and stood up with a snort.

Touching the side of the white horse's face, Zhang Daozhen kindly advised: "This female layman, ride a horse through the market, be careful." ”

The woman in black gave her hand again: "Thank you for mentioning it." ”

Zhang Daozhen showed a magic stick smile, turned around and wanted to leave, but he didn't think that the woman in black raised her hand and asked, "I don't know if it's long, how to go to Mud Village?"

"What are you doing in the Silt Village?"

Zhang Daozhen's steps paused, the smile on his face disappeared, and when he asked the question, he had already begun to calculate in his hand.

Zhong Ming, who had just taken two steps, also stopped, and suddenly turned to look at the woman.

What do you mean by naming your name and going to the mud village?

It's just that at this time, the matter of saving Fei Dacheng is imminent, and Zhong Ming doesn't have the time to carefully ask this woman whether she is suitable for coming.

His mind was racing, no matter why she came, take her for a walk first, and ease down for a while, so Zhong Ming took a quick step forward, pulled the reins of the white horse and went out of the city gate, and pointed to the deserted position to the woman: "Woman, there is a stream far away over there, and there is a village by the stream, which is the mud village." ”

This is full of nonsense, whether it is the stream or the location of the village, it is all made up by Zhong Ming.

Zhong Ming seemed to be enthusiastic, but in fact, he didn't smile, and secretly said in his heart: It doesn't matter why she came, whether it's a blessing or a curse, let her go to the Suiyun Mountain Range for a run first!

Then Zhong Ming stuffed the reins into the hands of the woman in black and urged, "The woman should go quickly, otherwise she won't be able to reach the mud village before evening." ”

The woman saw that Zhong Ming was too enthusiastic, and sighed in her heart that the people in the border area were kind, and thanked Zhong Ming with her hand, and rode towards the deserted Suiyun Mountains.

Looking at the woman in black going away, Zhong Ming hurriedly pulled Zhang Daozhen to the city.

But he didn't think about it, he stretched out his hand and pulled Zhang Daozhen twice, but he didn't move, like an old tree taking root and standing in the distance.

Zhong Ming's suppressed anger burst out: "Old Taoist, what are you doing here, hurry up and save people!"

"I just counted two hexagrams, one happy and one worried, which one do you want to listen to first?"

Hearing that Zhang Daozhen was still selling Guanzi, Zhong Ming was so angry that he really wanted to slap Lao Dao's old face and fan his mouth full of big yellow teeth.

Zhong Ming roared angrily: "Hurry up, I'll slap you twice if you provoke me!"

Coughing embarrassedly, Zhang Daozhen also knew that it was not the right time for him to pretend to be mysterious, so he hurriedly said: "Just now, I divined the hexagram, and the female layman was angry, I am afraid that it will bring blood and light to the mud village." ”

Zhong Ming's heart was clenched again, why did he find fault at this time?

Fei Dacheng is also waiting for someone to save him, and there is a woman with a sword who brought blood and light to the mud village, is this to force Zhong Ming to death?
