Chapter Ninety-Nine: Deception of Heaven and Earth

Hundreds of Kunlun sect disciples followed, and the Huoxin Daoist led us to the cableway on the side of Hedao Peak, and in front of it was the alchemy room of the Shaobai Daoist. The Hedao platform is not far from the punishment platform, but the scenery is much better than the punishment platform, the whole mountain of the punishment platform is the cold snow at the end of the mountain except for the cold rock, bare and lifeless, while the mountain of the Hedao platform is full of green branches and leaves, a full of spring. It's not very far, but along the way, it feels like I've climbed from hell to heaven.

Passing through the cableway, I saw from a distance that there were many people gathered in front of the Gu Pu Dan room of the Shaobai Dao people, and it was the master of Benkong and the leaders of the Tianyi Sect and the major forces of the rivers and lakes, and around them stood the elite disciples of various factions, and there were about eight or nine hundred people in the black oppression, almost surrounding the huge alchemy room.

As soon as we arrived at the door of the Danfang, the Huoxin Dao people saluted to Master Benkong and Tianyi, and Master Benkong made a Buddha name, but he smiled at the three wizards of Xia Hafu: "The three great witches have worked hard, and this alchemy is thanks to the three of them to protect the Dharma, which is really the blessing of my Central Plains martial arts, and the antidote is practiced, and we will be thanked." ”

When he said these words, he didn't look at me and Cheng Fuhai at all, nor did he ask about my injuries, as if he didn't care about us. The other two wizards didn't say anything, but Xia Hafu hugged his fist and said with the same smile: "Poison has plagued the world for thousands of years, if you can refine the antidote for the benefit of the world, it should be." ”

I don't know what the master of Benkong said about the heavy thanks, but with their identity, the reward will not be much worse. Master Benkong nodded and said, "Three gentlemen, please come inside, the Dan Furnace herbs have been prepared." ”

As he spoke, he took the lead in walking towards the Dan room, and the two sides of the sky were long, Fan Chunyang and others hurriedly followed, and it was only then that Huoxin Dao turned his head and smiled: "Master Chengzhuang." He looked at me again, intentionally or unconsciously, and said, "Please." ”

Youyun Villa has been squeezed out of the Seven Great Sects to such a point? I can't help but feel a little annoyed in my heart, I haven't seen it for three days, and now many heads of the Seven Great Sects have almost turned a blind eye to Cheng Fuhai, no wonder Su Qingyao was so angry when he was in the mountain prison before. Fu Hai didn't care much about it, and he didn't pay attention to the Fire Heart Daoist, just walked towards the Danfang with his hands behind his back.

The Dan room of the Shaobai Dao people has not changed much compared with the past, as soon as they enter the front hall of the Dan room, the air is still wafting with the thick smell of medicine, but compared with the past, the Dan room is much brighter than before, the books and herbs scattered everywhere in the original room have been cleaned up, and even the curtain has been torn off, and the whole Dan room looks a lot magnificent. The Kunlun faction is a famous and decent family, the door is rich and noble, the vessels that the Shaobai Taoist people hold the herbs are all beautifully carved porcelain, and even the closets chiseled out of the wall are also engraved and pondered after some engraving, probably the ones that are placed inside are some amazing herbs.

As a well-known alchemy master of the Kunlun School and even the rivers and lakes, the Dan room of the Shaobai Daoist can have such a gorgeous pomp, but it also shows the style of the big faction. I can't help but think of Zabar. In comparison, Zabal's cave house is a bit dwarfed, at best, it is just a larger cave, and even, it is not enough to compare with the Danfang of the Shaobai Dao people. However, Zabal has a much larger collection of herbs than here.

Walking into the apse of the alchemy room, as soon as I entered, I saw the huge Qiankun Dan furnace that could climb to the top, and when I looked sideways, there were several people standing next to the Dan furnace, Weideng Dao people and Taibai Dao people stood first, the two of them held four small yellow flags in their hands, and next to them stood Ba Zhongyuan and Ma Qianli and Cai Yueru, their faces were the same, and behind them stood Li Yanzong and the two men surnamed Lao Qi and Xia.

Li Yanzong still looked sick, he was still wearing that bright red robe, and his face seemed to be much paler than before, but this time, his face seemed to be coated with a layer of white foundation, and he couldn't see any blood at all, but more like a white-faced imp in the underworld. Seeing him again, my fists tied behind my back couldn't help but clench, this evil wizard who took hundreds of lives in Chenzhou City made Chenzhou City miserable, I must kill him, and my world dart game has finally ended up in such a state of abolition, it has a lot to do with this person, of course I don't want to spare him easily. It's just that now, like him, I have become a prisoner of the Seven Great Sects, and now I am about to refine the antidote to the poison, and he is presiding over this alchemy, I want to kill him, but I can't.

As if sensing my gaze, when I looked at Li Yanzong coldly, he also looked at me, and a smile appeared on his pale face. I turned my head away and stopped looking at him, but my fists clenched tighter.

Approaching the Qiankun Dan furnace, I felt a dry heat, there were two holes in the lower half of the Qiankun Dan furnace, and a raging fire was burning inside. A group of us all stood still, Master Benkong and Tianyi Chang and other seven masters lined up in front of the Qiankun Dan Furnace, Master Benkong's eyes swept around us, and suddenly turned his head and said, "Weideng Zhenren, are the alchemy materials ready?"

The Weideng Daoist standing at the bottom bowed down and said, "Master Hui, the array flags, talisman seals and medicinal herbs have been prepared, and only the blood of refining medicine is needed." ”

It's just refining the antidote, do you need any array flags or something?" I muttered to myself. I couldn't hear any emotion in the words of the Weidengdao person, but the eyes of everyone around me suddenly fell on me, and Master Benkong nodded and said, "The three great witches have confirmed that the blood is okay and can be used for medicine." He looked at me and said, "Gu Tian, this alchemy needs to be guided by the blood in your body, what else do you want?"

At this point, what else can I ask for? Master Benkong's words are a bit too much, and I don't know if he has other intentions, so I made up my mind and said, "There are no other requirements for refining the antidote, but I don't know how much blood is needed for refining the medicine this time?"

Tianyi Chang said at this time: "It doesn't take much, one or two are enough." ”

One or two blood flowing on the ground is a small pool, but if I can end the refining of the medicine as soon as possible, I don't care. I said lightly: "Then according to what the Taoist chief said." ”

Tianyi said, "That's very good. Xuan Shen, Gu Tian's behavior is inconvenient, so you will go to the blood on his behalf. ”

The Xuan Shen Daoist who had been standing beside me immediately responded, and took out the waist knife and jade bowl from his arms, which had been stained with my blood before, and was still clean. He lifted the fur coat from my left arm, and I saw a look of astonishment on his face, probably because he saw that the wound on my left arm was healed, so I couldn't help but be a little surprised. However, he reacted very quickly, and his hand did not stagnate, and immediately slashed my left arm, and the stabbing pain came, and I could feel the blood flowing out of my body without looking back.

When the Dexuan Shendao man brought the jade bowl to me again, the jade bowl was already filled with most of the bowl of bright red blood, and the two Kunlun sect disciples who had brought me here were also quick to move, and hurriedly took out the medicine cloth to bandage my wounds.

As soon as the blood was taken out, it attracted almost everyone's attention again, and I heard Luo Renshan, who was standing not far away, whispering, "It's finally time to start refining medicine." There was also a thin sound of broken words in the alchemy room. Indeed, since October last year, Cheng Fuhai and the Central Plains have informed the Seven Great Sects that they have found a way to refine the antidote to the poison, when the Seven Great Sects gathered in Kunlun, and I also followed them to the Western Regions at that time, and now it is Spring March, which is more than five months, which is indeed long enough. But that's also because something happened in the Death Swamp, if it weren't for that stubble, if we successfully picked the devil's head grass from the Death Swamp, I'm afraid we would have started refining the medicine years ago.

Xuan Shendao brought the jade bowl to the master of the void and the seven of them, but the master of the void did not react too much, but said: "With this blood to resist the poison, we will be able to refine the medicine." Tianyi, you can start, this time you will preside over the alchemy, with the alchemy of your Wudang faction, if this medicine is completed, the grade will definitely be better. ”

Wasn't the refining of the poison antidote presided over by Li Yanzong? I was slightly startled, and couldn't help but glance at Li Yanzong, only to see that he was standing on the edge of the Qiankun Dan furnace with his hands in his hands at this time, but his expression was very indifferent, as if he had already known about this decision of the Master of the Heavenly Void. It's just that the poison has been harming the rivers and lakes for a long time, and the two realms of righteousness and demons have been helpless, and the reason why the Seven Great Sects decided to refine the antidote to the poison this time is because Li Yanzong said that he could refine the antidote to the poison, and it is precisely because of this that when the schedule Fuhai and the Central Plains will urgently inform the Seven Great Sects of several masters, and escort Li Yanzong to Kunlun thousands of miles away, it stands to reason that he should be the one who presides over the refining of the medicine, why is it now changed to the head of the Tianyi Sect?

As soon as I thought of this, my mind suddenly flashed, and I couldn't help but feel a sudden shock. Master Benkong's arrangement is mostly for Youyun Villa. That's right, after the remnants of the Seven Great Sects escaped from the death swamp, they already had a grudge against Youyun Villa, and the high-level affairs were basically no longer discussed with Cheng Fuhai, and Li Yanzong was originally brought to Kunlun by Cheng Fuhai and the Central Plains, how could Master Benkong let him take charge of refining medicine?

It seems that the Seven Great Sects are going to completely squeeze Youyun Villa out of the righteous path, and from this point of view alone, they may not have the slightest trust in Youyun Villa and Cheng Fuhai now. Cheng Fuhai once said that after refining the antidote to poison, the Seven Great Sects are very likely to take my life, but I am afraid that at that time, it will also be the time when he will be expelled from the righteous path in Youyun Villa.

The master of the sky is indeed clever enough. As we all know, the Immortal Hall is getting bigger and bigger in the border of the Western Regions, and the Seven Great Sects are in urgent need of recuperation, and now cutting their wings is undoubtedly a cocoon, but what Master Benkong did not cause trouble, on the one hand, he did not let Li Yanzong refine medicine, and on the other hand, it seemed that he invited Youyun Villa to participate regardless of his previous suspicions, even if he had the idea of eliminating Youyun Villa, it made people unable to raise any thoughts of rebellion. Once the Cloud Villa rebels, then the Seven Great Sects will inevitably have a civil strife, but it is the silent practice of Master Benkong that avoids the worry of civil strife, and it is more magnanimous and more able to buy people's hearts. I looked at Cheng Fuhai, who was standing tall, and my heart tingled.

This old man, who was highly respected in the past, may not be able to express his bitterness in his heart. It's just that what is in his mind now? In his heart, will he hate me?

At this time, Tianyi let out a loud shout. A group of female disciples of the Kunlun sect dressed in moon-white robes walked in from the side door of the alchemy room, led by Mingyue, a personal disciple of Shaobai Daoren, a total of sixteen people, all holding a red exquisite holding box in their hands, a group of people walked to Master Benkong and Tianyi and stood in front of them, and opened the holding box in their hands.

As soon as the box was opened, there was a burst of medicinal fragrance, and I craned my neck to look forward, only to see that one of the women's boxes contained the same herbs we had picked from the swamp of death. After the ghost head grass is picked, it needs to be used immediately within a day, otherwise it will be useless to pick it, but the ghost head grass in the box is still fresh, and it has not withered at all, and it is thought that it has just been taken out of the wooden box carefully built by Yu Sangming.

The ghost head grass can still be so fresh, and that is also thanks to Youyun Villa. Tianyi looked at the box for a while, and suddenly said, "Li Yanzong, you can come over again to see if the alchemy materials are complete, and whether the order of entering the furnace is correct?"

Hearing Tianyi's long words, Li Yanzong also walked in front of the group of Kunlun sect disciples, looked at it for a moment, he nodded and said: "There is no shortage of materials, it is these few flavored medicines, as for the order of entering the furnace, only the ghost head grass needs to enter first, and Gu Tian's blood can enter the furnace last." ”

Tianyi said: "That's fine." Fellow Daoists, open the furnace!"

He gave another order, and when the group of female disciples heard this, they all saluted to the seven masters, and then walked up to the high platform next to the Qiankun Dan furnace in turn, and the Xuan Shen Dao people hurriedly followed. The Qiankun Dan furnace is quite tall, but the mouth of the furnace is the size of a grinding disc, which looks very heavy. There is a switch to open the lid next to the furnace mouth, and Mingyue and a few people climbed the high platform, opened the furnace lid very skillfully, and poured the herbs in the box into the Qiankun Dan furnace one by one. At this time, the Weideng Daoist and Taibai Dao people who were originally standing next to the Qiankun Dan furnace inserted the four yellow flags in their hands around the Qiankun Dan furnace, and the two of them went around, and the four flags were inserted into the four corners of the Dan furnace, looking at the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest.

As soon as the flags were planted, the three wizards of Xia Hafu and the Shaobai Daoist immediately followed, and the four of them sat down cross-legged on the edge of the four yellow flags, closed their eyes with their hands folded, and recited a burst of obscure and incomprehensible broken words in their mouths.

Using the alchemy of the Central Plains combined with the witchcraft of the Western Regions to refine medicine, this is probably the first time. I couldn't help but look a little distracted, and many people around me were in high spirits. I don't know what Xia Hafu and they are reading, listening to the tone, it is similar to the sorcerers I have seen in the past, Su Qingyao once said that the witchcraft in the Western Regions is unpredictable, and the spells are ancient and difficult to distinguish Sanskrit, which is varied, but it sounds the same tone to me, and I can't hear any difference at all. Thinking of this, I can't help but have a little more respect for the Shaobai Dao people, it is rumored that the Shao Bai Dao people have studied witchcraft in the Western Regions, and now it seems that she can recite that kind of obscure spell with Xia Hafu and several wizards, and in the same tone, it is indeed amazing.

When the Xuan Shendao people poured the bowl of blood into the Dan furnace, the lid of the Qiankun Dan furnace was sealed again, at this time, the lower half of the Qiankun Dan furnace was already boiling in the fire, the lid was covered, the steam in the furnace body could only be spewed out from the nine dragon-shaped furnace ears around the Qiankun Dan furnace, at first glance, the whole huge Qiankun Dan furnace seemed to come to life, the water vapor was steaming, and the sound of the urn was unknown. With the chanting sound of Xia Hafu and Shaobai Daoren, the entire alchemy room was full of unpredictable images, as if even the ground was shaking.

It's a spectacle that is. I was watching, but I heard the master of Benkong say loudly: "You fellow people in the rivers and lakes, poison has plagued the martial arts for hundreds of years, today I am upright to open the furnace to refine the medicine is to flatter the way of heaven, it is really a blessing for the common people in the world, if you can remove this harm for the martial arts, the poor monk is grateful here." In order to be able to refine the antidote smoothly, we must not be careless and negligent, and it is necessary to strengthen vigilance from now on, and all factions must take strict precautions with the children of the Kunlun faction to prevent accidents. ”

Does it take so long to refine such an antidote?" I was secretly taken aback again. Probably things like alchemy and refining medicine take a certain amount of time, in the past, when the master was refining the Great Tonic Pill, it also took about three days, and when he was long, it didn't take more than five days, and it may also be quite difficult to refine the poison antidote, so it will take so long. It's only forty-nine days, which is probably too long. I thought silently.

Master Benkong's words were very loud and impassioned, and everyone said in unison: "Follow the master's orders!"

If I betrayed the Seven Great Sects in the Swamp of Death, I would probably call it out, but now I can only listen quietly, and neither Cheng Fuhai nor Su Qingyao have spoken. For the benefit of the common people in the world, at this time, I didn't feel that his words made me uncomfortable, I looked at the Central Plains and Ma Qianli, and they were also silent.

Master Benkong smiled slightly, and said, "If you heroes can have this ambition, the antidote to the poison will definitely be baked smoothly, and they will all be dispersed." ”

Everyone saluted Master Benkong again, and I was escorted by the two Kunlun sect disciples, and I was about to turn around and leave, but I heard Li Yanzong suddenly say: "Benkong, I still have one more thing, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Listening to his words, we all looked back at him, and Master Benkong frowned and said, "What else do you have to say?"

Li Yanzong smiled, but turned his gaze to me, and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that refining the antidote to the poison is extraordinary, there must not be the slightest omission, the other medicinal herbs you have prepared are all complete, if the refining materials are insufficient, you can directly use them here, I am just worried that if Gu Tian's blood is not enough, it will inevitably delay time if I go to the punishment table to get the medicine, I am afraid that it will affect the antidote level at that time." ”

It was fine that he didn't speak, but when I heard him talk about me, I didn't know why, but I felt a fork in my heart go straight to the top of my head, and I couldn't help but shout: "What do you mean? Do you still want to leave me here and let you take blood!"

Maybe it was because I had been holding back the grievances in my heart for too long, I said this very loudly, and even the rope that tied my arm broke one, and the two disciples of the Kunlun sect were taken aback, and one of them pushed me and shouted, "What are you doing!"

The faces of many people around me changed, and Master Benkong looked at me and said in a deep voice: "Gu Tian, in the Kunlun Alchemy Room, you must not act rashly. He turned his head and said, "Tianyi, is there such a taboo in refining medicine?"

Tianyi thought for a long time and muttered, "It's true. If there is a shortage of materials in the middle of this alchemy, if there is no big problem in replenishing the materials immediately, if it is delayed, I am afraid that it will be a thousand miles away. ”

Although the punishment platform is not far from the Hedao platform, it is still separated by the Lianwu Square and a piece of housing for the disciples of the Kunlun sect in the middle, and if you want to get closer, you can only walk from the ropeway between the five peaks. However, at that distance, even if you go fast, it still takes a stick of incense. I said coldly: "Dao Chief, just now you said that that little bit of blood is enough to refine medicine, why is there not enough materials?"

Before Tianyi could speak, Li Yanzong opened his mouth first, but said to Master Benkong: "Master, I don't have any other intentions here, it's purely for the sake of solving the medicine level." This time for refining medicine, you are quite well prepared, if there is no mistake, you will definitely be able to refine a first-class antidote, but there are risks in refining medicine throughout the ages, and Li is afraid of what happens. ”

Master Benkong nodded and said, "Alchemy is the most important, and the worry of the Great Donor should not be underestimated. This is also easy to do, since this is the case, then Gu Tian doesn't have to go back to the punishment table this time, so he will temporarily live in the attic next door to the alchemy room. ”

If those words were said by someone else, maybe I wouldn't have been so angry, but when they came out of Li Yanzong's mouth, I couldn't accept it.

It's just that there is already majesty in the words of Master Primordial, and I can't say a word.
