Liu Tugou and Yang Xiongji set off from Shuofang early in the morning, and it was not yet noon after the handover of Zhang Jinbei to the village.

The two people who were thrown on the road in the village were a little scratching their heads, this Xian Dengwei really deserved his reputation, and he didn't have the appearance of the surrounding army.

Seeing that he was not familiar with the place and almost his eyes were black, the second master looked around, and saw that there was a small house not far ahead, although it was also an adobe house, but it was painted with a layer of white paint, and a flagpole was erected in front of the door, not a wine flag, but a "doctor" word was written.

The two looked at each other and stepped inside.

There is no one in the front hall, except for a square table and a few wooden chairs, it is an empty room, the square table table is covered with a skin, delicate and hairless, very peculiar.

Yang Xiongji said uncertainly: "This ...... Is it human skin?"

Someone in the backyard coughed and said, "Buy medicine or heal wounds?"

Liu Tugou walked through the back door first, and saw a lot of bamboo baskets for drying herbs in the courtyard, and a white-haired man in a black robe stood with his back to the two of them, not knowing what he was doing.

When the two of them came in, the man said without looking back: "New here? are two fools who practice magic skills, and they look like they are cooking oil on the outside, but they don't know that the inner bag is gradually empty." You're not injured or sick, what are you doing here?"

Liu Tugou frowned and looked at the back of the white-haired man, and suddenly grinned: "You are not the same, you use methods such as transferring flowers and grafting trees to take advantage of it, although the origin is sufficient, but you have lost your nature, are you not afraid that one day the resentment of these dead ghosts will blow you up?"

"Oh?" the white-haired man turned around, his face was as delicate and ruddy as a baby, but there was a kind of vicissitudes of indifference in his eyes, and he held a white human skull in his hand, smooth and round, and he was playing with it carefully.

"I've looked away, you are the cultivation of the pinnacle of foundation building on the surface, but in fact, it is far more than that, the acupuncture points and pores of the whole body are all closed, and you actually lock the essence of your body to death, unlike this stupid thing who is afraid of dying fast enough. It's just that the knife is hidden in the sheath, and it is very hard to endure, right?"

The second master smiled and arched his hand: "His skills are still shallow, and sooner or later he will come to my step." In Xia Liu Tugou, he only entered the village today, returned to the third banner, and saw Mr. ”

The black-robed and white-haired man nodded in return, and said, "My surname is Lu Ming'e, and everyone in the village calls me a ghost doctor." If you can practice to the realm of at least the peak of qi training, you haven't died of a deficit, but you are not like those people in the military generals, what method have you used? If you can teach me, the conditions are as you like. ”

Yang Xiongji pouted and said, "Ghost doctor, I don't know how to use medical skills, but killing people must be good hands." ”

Lu E looked at Liu Tugou and said: "I have been concentrating on medical skills for 60 years, at the age of 20 to change the skin and appearance of people as a profession, at the age of 30 to be able to continue the amputated limbs, at the age of 40 to amputate the intestines and change the heart, to now sixty and seven, I have studied the method of continuing life and have a little experience, the soldiers are dangerous and fierce, you naturally have to ask for the day before my door." ”

"Just now Zhang Jinbei also said that the bottom line of private fighting in the village is not to disable people, but you say that you have the ability to change limbs and hearts to continue life?" Liu Tugou questioned in surprise.

Lu E's face remained unchanged, and he said gently: "Even if the severed limb continues, even if he doesn't die, he is a wasted person, and he is only twenty percent sure of changing his heart, not to mention that often saving one person means killing one person to dozens of people, not everyone is willing to gamble, and not everyone can afford to gamble." ”

Yang Xiongji muttered: "I heard that I first ascended to the Guardian Devil, but I didn't expect to meet one when I came." ”

"Oh...... What is a demon?"

Lu E gently stroked the skull in his hand and asked, "Cruel and easy to kill those who are full of blood, can be described as demons? Those who are emotional, sexual, and disrespectful can be described as demons? Those who poison the world for their own selfishness can be described as demons? In this way, the Son of Heaven takes the world as his private treasury and all surnames as domestic slaves, and his crime is great!"

Liu Tugou smiled and said: "Someone once told me that the person of the bird/beast might as well kill it, and some people taught me that there is no difference between good and evil after peeping, I don't know who is right and who is wrong, but now the good and evil in my heart have been killed with a knife, so can it be considered a demon?"

"How do you look at people's hearts after killing?"

"He who does good to me is good, and he who is evil to me is evil. ”

Lu E smiled when he heard this: "It turns out that the devil is you!"

Liu Tugou nodded and said, "Yes, the devil is me, but I am not the devil." ”

Yang Xiongji didn't know which tendon was wrong with the second brother, but he actually learned the monks in the temple to fight with people, and a faint uneasiness rose in his heart, and he pretended to be impatient and said: "Lao Lu, I don't care about good or evil, this noon is coming, where to go to sacrifice to this temple of five organs?"

Lu E looked up at the sky, and suddenly said, "Give up the disease, add two pairs of chopsticks today." ”

Liu Tugou was shocked, after talking in the courtyard for so long, he didn't realize that there was a fourth person.

"Sir, there is a green cow and a white horse outside the door, do you care about the food?"

An immature voice sounded from behind Liu Tugou and Yang Xiongji, and the two turned around sharply, and saw a seven or eight-year-old boy with a fair and ruddy face and a very spiritual aura.

He was wearing a shabby robe that had been obviously cut but was still a little fat, with a bun on his head, a white bone hairpin, a small bundle of dry firewood in his hand, and a pair of big black eyes staring at the slaughtering knife on Liu Tugou's waist.

What is particularly strange is that this child's breathing is extremely long, it is almost inaudible, I don't know if it is because of his talent or the cultivation of a unique breathing technique.

Lu E looked at the two guests, and Liu Tugou grinned: "Just give me something to eat." ”

Then take them to the stables, and if there is not enough forage, choose some warm herbs. ”

The little medicine boy answered, and then walked into the room on the side without looking at the three of them again.

The second master looked at the back of this child, suddenly smiled, and said softly: "Abandon the disease? This name is very related to the disease." ”

Lu E stretched out his sleeves, made way to the back hall, and said, "Please!"

The two recruits who first ascended to the village did not see the slightest outside, and raised their feet and entered.

Under the eaves of the back hall hangs a string of angle irons, there is no wind, and it is silent.

Liu Tugou noticed that a line of words was engraved on each corner iron, which read: "Lackeys under the Border Holy Gate." ”

"Mr. Lu's dedication to the holy path is truly admirable. It's just that I am familiar with the "Holy Chapter" below, but I have never seen the teachings of this border saint. ”

"Oh, when I was young, I had an adventure and obtained a posthumous book by my predecessors, although I did not have much to do with the cultivation method, but I recorded many amazing words of a saint surnamed Bian, which opened my eyes and benefited me a lot, and since then I have regarded myself as a lackey under the Bian Shengmen. So far, I think about it, this Bian Sheng is afraid that he is a great sage of the Demon Gate outside Zhou Tianwai. ”

Although Yang Xiongji is a scholar, he is most unaccustomed to such a chattering and pretentious posture, and said in a muffled voice: "Can the Demon Gate also be called virtuous?"

Lu E glanced at him and replied: "The Demon Gate is known as breaking off love, and its intention is only to cut off the shackles of cultivation and let go of one's heart to grab useful things from heaven and earth to achieve one's own body, this is an extraordinary way, not cruel by nature. ”

Liu Tugou suddenly remembered the old fox, but it was plausible when he thought about it, and all kinds of mysteries of that day could not be solved so far.

He asked, "Is there a demon gate in Sunday?"

The ghost doctor in the black robe and white hair who held the human bones smiled slightly.

"You and I are. ”
