Chapter 50: The Distance from Success
Based on what Liu Yifan heard from the countless news reports in later generations, when Li Damu said that he needed to pay half a year's harvest as an offering, he understood that what this girl said was all for the purpose of allowing these villagers to join the religion and hand over the offerings.
He wanted to expose the other party's true face, but he didn't know how to heal. Even if he had come forward, none of these people who were in a hurry to save his life would have believed him, and in turn he might have said that he had deceived the people into taking their last chance of life, and then beat him into a meatloaf.
After all, the talisman used by Li Damu was real, but the purpose was not pure. This is the so-called conspiracy is easy to solve, and the conspiracy is difficult to break.
Fortunately, Cai Yan finally spoke, and he was relieved.
It's just that he was suddenly looked at by so many pairs of eyes, Rao is Liu Yifan was just standing beside Cai Yan, and he was still a little nervous for a moment. I have the feeling of being watched by a group of classmates in the audience during the graduation defense that year.
Li Damu's gaze is naturally among them. Unlike the questioning gazes of the villagers around him, there was only a vicious and fierce light in his eyes.
As early as when Liu Yifan and the three appeared, Li Damu actually noticed it. In a group of villagers who only wore coarse linen clothes, the clothes of the three were obviously several grades higher, and it was difficult not to notice them with that extraordinary temperament.
It's just that his multi-day plan has already begun, and it is impossible to give up halfway. So while paying attention to the movements of the three of them, they continued to perform. For this reason, he also used a few more healing charms to delay for some time, wanting to see what the three of them wanted to do. It can be seen that the three of them are just watching there, and Li Damu doesn't want to waste any more healing charms, and is determined to proceed according to the predetermined plan.
But he didn't want to be in the end, when he had succeeded, the little girl actually spoke, and said something that frightened him, his mood at the moment can be imagined.
Li Damu forcibly suppressed the anger and faint uneasiness in his heart, and said: "This girl, treatment is not child's play, if there is the slightest mistake, it will kill someone!"
He opened his mouth and said to Cai Yan, but his eyes kept falling on Dong Feng, and in his opinion, the other party was the threat. The strong smell of medicine could be smelled even from a few steps away. The other party must be a healer, and judging from the light expression on the other party's face, it is very likely that he will really break the poison he has given.
Cai Yan said lightly: "The little girl is also a doctor, she always does what she can, and will never joke with people's lives." When I say it can be cured, it means it can be cured!"
Hearing Cai Yan's tone full of certainty, the villagers whispered.
"Who are they?"
"I don't know, it may be a disciple of which sects. ”
"A little girl actually said that she could cure us, is she lying?"
"Yes, yes, I don't think I can beat much more than the daughter of the old Wang family next door, what can I understand?"
"Let's hurry up and let Master Li teach us the Taiping Heart Sutra. ”
"Yes, yes, didn't you say that you have to recite it for three days before the golden rune paper has a healing effect?"
One of the villagers thought of the urgency of time, and immediately ignored Cai Yan and them.
Li Damu was secretly happy in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief. The heart said that it was fortunate that the previous scene was done sufficiently, and this group of fools had been completely led away by him.
Li Damu wanted to get rid of Cai Yan and the others, but the enthusiasm of the villagers who broke out in order to survive even he could only parry. secretly gave the four subordinates a look and asked them to drive away Cai Yan and a few people, and he shouted loudly: "Okay, everyone line up, I'll say a word in a while, everyone follow me for a ......"
"I don't need you to join the church, and I don't need everyone to worship me with half a year's harvest. ”
Before Li Damu's subordinates squeezed out of the crowd, Cai Yan's flat voice had already floated over again, cutting off Li Damu's words, and the villagers who were still clamoring were silent, and they all looked at Cai Yan in unison.
A young villager asked, "Then dare to ask the girl how to treat us?" He is still single, counting on a good harvest in the coming year, and he can praise more money to marry the little flower sister from the next village. How could he be willing to hand over the half-year's harvest as an offering to the Immortal Sect, so he opened his mouth with hope.
"It's simple. Cai Yan took out a jade bottle from his arms, poured out a dark green pill the size of a soybean, and said, "As long as you take this medicine, your symptoms will be better." ”
The villagers looked at each other, apparently not believing that a pill would have such an effect. Even the young villager who asked him hesitated, thinking that this could not be a poison.
Li Damu's eyes rolled and he spoke: "Little girl, are you Hua Tuo or Zhang Ji, who is the number one in the medical world? Saying this, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted loudly: "Could it be that this disease circulating in this village was caused by you, and you have the antidote pill so why you dare to go to the mouth of the sea like this?!"
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding villagers were in an uproar. Originally, he simply didn't believe Cai Yan, but he was guided by Li Damu's words, which immediately made everyone's hearts arise: "No wonder the other party said that it could be cured, it turned out that they poisoned it." ”
No one was calling for anything, many people had already picked up the sticks or hoes around them, and shouted menacingly: "Hand over the antidote"
It is said that the power of the people is strong. In the past, when Liu Yifan went to a concert, he experienced the scene of thousands of people shouting and stomping at the same time as soon as the star appeared, which was very shocking. The earth is trembling or something, not an adjective at all, but a real sensation of what is happening.
Although the number of these villagers is only a hundred, it is far from the momentum of 10,000 people. Compared with the ten thousand people, who just shouted at others, the sense of the hundreds of people shouting at him now is obviously more intimidating.
Liu Yifan looked at Li Damu who was among the villagers, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said in his heart: "It's okay for this thief to shout to catch a thief." It's a pity. ”
"Although the little girl is neither Hua Tuo nor Zhang Ji, these two are both teaching teachers!" Cai Yan's elegant and gentle voice passed through the shouts of the villagers and reached Li Damu's ears, making the other party's smug sneer instantly condense.
Li Damu's eyes widened in disbelief and shouted, "You are from the Rejuvenation Valley!?"
The villagers were also stunned by this shout, never expecting that the three people they were about to tie up and get the antidote would be from the Rejuvenation Valley.
"Although the little girl has only learned the skin of the masters, this little poison can be seen at a glance, so why do you need to be diagnosed and treated?" Cai Yan's voice was still so calm.
"Wow, it's someone from Rejuvenation Valley. No wonder it's so powerful. ”
"Yes, let's ask so many doctors to come and say that I don't know why. Listen to people, call this a little poison. ”
"There is a rejuvenation valley, now we are really saved. ”
"Then the disease in the village must not be caused by the poisoning of other girls. ”
......
Li Damu listened to the villagers in his ears who immediately changed their words because of the sentence "Rejuvenation Valley", and he was angry and angry in his heart!
He has been busy for ten years in order to be promoted to the altar master. For the first few years, he was stupid, and he preached honestly, but no one paid attention to it, and that was the time when he was most miserable.
Later, with the help of a person, he was given this method, which this time allowed him to regain the confidence of the competing altar owner. Now there are only a few days left before the day of the review, but he just needs to persuade the people in this village to join the Immortal Sect and write the roster.
Counting his previous efforts, he will be able to gather more than 10,000 people to complete the trial of the Immortal Sect's self-reliance and self-teaching, and the trial of "Ten Thousand Preaching" once every ten years, and he will be eligible to be assessed as the altar master who can manage one side in the next ten years.
The seat that many people dream of has almost been held in his hands, but it was shattered at the moment of success. If his eyes could kill, he would have killed Cai Yan and the three of them thousands of times.
Li Damu snorted coldly and said, "Are you the ones who said you are from the Rejuvenation Valley? Who can prove that what you said is not a lie?"
