"Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang. Li Canglan lightly buttoned the door of the herbal medicine shop, but no one answered, and gently pushed forward along the doorknob, but the door opened, but the door was not locked.

Li Canglan entered the house and greeted him, but still no one responded. Wang Xiucai is an old man, and the house he lives in is already simple, but when he enters the house this time, even a few changes of clothes that are dried on bamboo poles on weekdays are gone.

came to the room where Wang Xiucai taught Li Canglan to read and write on weekdays, and several books related to medicinal herbs were neatly placed on the shelves, no different from usual. On the desk, the sheep hair that Wang Xiucai likes to use on weekdays and the ancient inkstone on that side have disappeared. All that was left was a yellowed ancient book and a letter, resting on the desk.

Li Canglan opened the letter and found that the ink marks had dried, and the whole article was only two lines.

"This "Xuandan Sutra" records what I have learned all my life, and you should be a good student to study, and it is not in vain for you and me to have a master-apprentice relationship. Quickly leave Caotang Village. ”

The content of the letter is concise and to the point, and the font is vigorous and powerful, which is Mr. Wang's own handwriting. Looking at this letterhead, Mr. Wang is afraid that he is no longer in this Caotang Village at this moment. I don't know why, I walked in such a hurry, and I didn't even have a chance to thank myself for the grace of the past three years.

Look at the yellowed scroll on the table, the cover pen is a dragon and snake, with three ancient characters written "Xuandan Sutra", a little flip through, the content of the scripture is also all Mr. Wang's own handwriting.

What is the Bone Melting Blood Pill, the Yin and Yang Life Soul Pill, the scriptures are full of the names of some pills, this is actually an alchemy-related book, but the names in the book sound more mysterious than the other, but there is a bit of charlatans swaggering and deceiving.

Let's take a look at the materials needed to refine these elixirs, what blood spirit demon fruits, ten thousand years of green spirit vines, and ice and fire soul melting fruits, but they are all unheard of.

In the past three years, Li Canglan has also studied with Mr. Wang to identify medicinal materials, and knows that some of these materials have also appeared in some ancient books that have been around for quite a long time. Whether it really exists or not, regardless of it for the time being, even if you are lucky enough to encounter the same or two, it is already smoke from the ancestral tomb, and it is pure fantasy to say that it is all collected and used to refine any elixir.

Li Canglan secretly sighed in his heart that Wang Xiucai was old after all, and people were confused, so he wrote such an unrealistic and self-entertaining thing. At the same time, I am grateful to Mr. Wang for his tireless teaching in the past three years, and now he has also taken this "waste book" into his arms, which is a souvenir of Mr. Wang's master and apprentice.

Between the sadness and sadness, there was a loud rumble outside the house, the ground was faintly shaking, and the fishy and pungent bloody smell in the memory struck again. It's the stench I encountered in my own vegetable garden in the past.

An ominous premonition came to my heart in an instant, and I only felt that the scene at this moment was familiar with the dream. Li Canglan hurriedly ran out of the house, the clear sky was overcast at some point, and the invisible feeling of oppression made it difficult to breathe.

In the direction of Montenegro, black clouds were thick, and a huge movement came from there.

Li Canglan remembered the letter left by Mr. Shicai Wang, and did not dare to delay for a minute or a second, so he rushed home to tell his father about it.

By this time, the streets were already crowded with people, and the noise in front was so loud that every household had stepped out of the door, intending to find out. Looking at the strange celestial phenomenon in the direction of Montenegro, everyone was sad and at a loss. There was a childish child who was uneasy in his heart, and cried out with a "wow", which made the already bored villagers more and more tormented.

"Shhh...... "Hissing......" is the sound of a poisonous snake spitting a letter, but this sound is too loud than ordinary snakes and scorpions, and it has the meaning of getting closer and closer. The sharp-eyed villagers had already seen a huge black shadow approaching, with a terrible smell of fish.

A woman's screams could be heard in the distance, accompanied by the sound of flesh and bones tearing.

"Snake... What a big snake ......" before the voice could reach far away, it seemed to be swallowed up by something. The street suddenly exploded like a pot, and the wandering villagers crowded and fled in all directions, and the women's cries, cries for help, and screams came and went.

Li Canglan didn't dare to look back, so he ran back home with all his might, and his knees trembled slightly. As soon as I entered the door, I was the same terrified mother.

"Hetu, I... Let's hurry up and take the children away. Liu Lingyu's voice trembled, and the words behind him could no longer be spoken.

"Dad, let's go quickly, there's a big snake demon, eat... It has eaten a lot of people" Li Canglan is still a child after all, and he is also extremely scared in his heart.

Li Hetu stepped forward, took Liu Lingyu's hand, patted his back gently, and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry." ”

Liu Lingyu looked at her husband's concerned eyes, and her heart was a little calmer, and she wanted to say more, but before she could say anything, she was paralyzed slowly. It turned out that Li Hetu hit the acupoint from behind and fell asleep.

Gently dragging Liu Lingyu into his arms, Li Hetu turned his head to look at Canglan, his face changed from his previous calm and relaxed, and he was unprecedentedly dignified: "Lan'er, you quickly carry your mother to the west, no matter what happens, remember not to look back." ”

Seeing that his father seemed unwilling to leave, Li Canglan burst into tears, crying, and shouted: "I don't, you have to go together, you have to go with us." ”

When Li Hetu saw his son in such a situation, he couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes. Shi Cai saw the body shape of the snake demon from a distance, like a mountain, I am afraid that it has been cultivated for nearly a thousand years, and it is definitely not an enemy of his own ability.

It's just that in this life, I learned the sword and understood the sword, and I knew that there was no reason to escape from the battle in the way of the sword. Besides, how can I watch the villagers of Caotang leave because of this great disaster?

Gently wiping away the tears on Canglan's face, Li Hetu's eyes were full of pride and love, and he gently stroked his son's head: "Lan'er, you have to remember that when the disaster is at the head, the swordsman will never retreat." The blade of the sword is sharp only to protect the weak. ”

Li Canglan cried and shook his head, tears flowing unstoppably.

"Besides, your father and I are not without a chance of winning, you first carry your mother to the west, and then I will come to you after I have taken care of this beast. Li Hetu smiled.

Li Canglan still refused, but he couldn't resist Li Hetu's feigned angry glance, since he was a child, his father would beat and scold, but he never showed such a look. Although Li Canglan was reluctant and reluctant in his heart, he also knew that this was not the time to be willful.

The screams outside the window became louder and louder, the bloody breath became thicker and thicker, and the terrifying black shadow got closer and closer. Li Canglan knew that at this moment, he couldn't delay a minute or a second, so he tearfully picked up his mother and ran all the way to the west......
