"Yi Chen, the herbs handed in are not qualified!" a cold voice sounded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The gray-clothed young man clenched his hands, his eyes full of unwillingness. obviously handed in the herbs, but was vetoed by the deputy in front of him.

Thinking that he still couldn't escape the fate of testing the medicine, Yi Chen was very angry, in addition to the deputy commander in front of him, the fat young man Qian Zhao with a sycophant face beside him was also the main culprit.

Yi Chen took a breath, suppressed his fear of the deputy capital, and said, "Master Gu, I ......"

"Don't talk nonsense, go back and prepare to test the medicine in half a month, and if you dare to be verbose, slowly release your blood to refine the medicine. The deputy sitting in front of the desk waved his hand and continued to check the emerald green herb in his hand, unable to hide the joy in his eyes.

Yi Chen was helpless, glanced at Qian Zhao beside him, turned around and walked outside the main hall. He was very sad and indignant in his heart, he came to this Danshan for more than a year, and every day he was like everyone else, taking care of the herbs in the medicine field.

Recently, it was the time for the herbs to be harvested, and Yi Chen handed in the herbs, but he was intervened by the fat boy and squeezed the opportunity to test the medicine.

The herbs handed in by the fat boy were not enough, but his mind was active, and he used a piece of fine jade pendant on his body to exchange for a high-quality herb from another person.

Yi Chen is different, he doesn't even remember his origin, only in the memory of Danshan, and he has no property to exchange for medicinal herbs.

Danshan has existed for more than ten years, mainly established by the Emperor of Yan in pursuit of immortality. The whole Danshan is majestic and tall, and the top of the main peak is concave like a volcano, forming a valley.

In the valley is the place where the Emperor of Yan State refines the elixir of life, and the valley is verdant, and the medicine fields and residences are in it, like a paradise. But it is full of blood and indifference, for more than ten years, every year after the harvest of medicinal herbs, the medicine will be refined, and then find someone to test the medicine, the medicine boy who tested the medicine died batch after batch, only the batch of medicine boys a year ago survived, but it was not successful.

Yi Chen returned to the thatched hut on the edge of the medicine field, lay on the bed, stared blankly at the gray roof, and thought about how to save his life.

Danshan as an important place for refining elixir, the Emperor of Yan attaches great importance to it, in addition to the steep terrain, there is only one way down the mountain, there are more heavy guards, it is difficult to fly at all.

Yi Chen tried hard to think of a way to save his life, and every time he tried the medicine, it was half a month after the herb was harvested, and there was not much time left for him.

For more than ten years, those who refined the elixir of life were all executed by the emperor. However, the monk who refined the elixir of life a year ago survived, but this year is not a test of the medicine he refined, and there is no reason to survive this test.

Thinking of this, Yi Chen's mind flashed with inspiration, and he felt that it was not without a chance to save his life, as long as he secretly went to find that Fang Shi, maybe he could save his life.

A few months ago, Yi Chen had gone to the alchemy hall of that alchemist to help out once, and there were many elixirs there, including the Yiqingsan that could cure all kinds of poisons and the Turtle Breath Pill that made people fake their death.

At that time, the monk said that Yi Chen had special qualifications, and he might need Yi Chen's help in the future, and if he encountered difficulties, he could go to him.

Now it is a difficult time, Yi Chen can only go to Fang Shi, as long as he can get Yi Qingsan and Turtle Breath Pill, and then take it in advance, after testing the medicine, he will fake his death, and the body will be taken out of the valley by the Praetorian Guards and thrown away, he may be able to save his life.

Yi Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart and kept walking around the thatched hut with four walls and ventilation, waiting for it to get dark.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, Yi Chen carefully walked out of the hut, shuttled through the green medicine fields, and carefully moved towards the alchemy hall on the north side of the valley.

Except for the medicine fields, the rest of the valley is full of trees, which is easy to hide. In addition, the Praetorian Guards mainly defended the palace group at the exit of the valley and the emperor's temporary residence, and other places were relatively lax, which gave Yi Chen great convenience.

After a full hour, Yi Chen saw from a distance the alchemy hall close to the valley wall, it was a magnificent hall, it was just a vague outline in the night, there was candlelight inside, and all kinds of medicinal incense were faintly transmitted.

Yi Chen hid in a patch of grass and trees, his eyes staring at the door of the main hall, his heart pounding. After waiting for the patrolling Praetorian Guards to pass, Yi Chen took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in his heart, and slowly approached the main hall. Finally, after lying on the side of the door, after making sure that there was only the priest inside, he was about to knock on the door.

Fang Shi's calm voice sounded: "Come in." ”

Yi Chen was shocked, and then reacted, easily pushed the door open a gap, and walked in.

Fang Shi was sitting cross-legged in front of the five-foot medicine stove in the middle of the main hall, with his white hair combed in a bun, a wooden hairpin, and a white robe.

"Cloud seniors. Yi Chen walked up to Fang Shi and shouted respectfully.

Fang Shi nodded slightly and asked, "Could it be that you were selected to test the medicine, otherwise why would you take the initiative to come to me?"

"Predecessor Mingjian, that's exactly the case. Yi Chen didn't hide it.

"I'll talk to Gu Du about going back and saving you from testing the medicine this time. Fang Shi said.

"Thank you, seniors. Yi Chen hurriedly thanked him, although it was different from what he expected, he also understood that Fang Shi left him because he needed his help, and of course it was impossible to help him escape.

Fang Shi changed his words and said, "Before I save you, I have to make sure that you have the value of saving you." ”

"Senior, check it. Yi Chen stretched out a hand and said, Fang Shi had said that if he needed help, he had to determine whether his qualifications were enough.

At that time, Fang Shi's cultivation was too low, and he could only check that Yi Chen was qualified, but he didn't know whether it was good or bad, and now he should be able to check it clearly.

Once the qualifications are not good enough to help Fang Shi, Fang Shi will naturally not save him.

For this, Yi Chen saw it very clearly.

Fang Shi gently pinched Yi Chen's wrist and began to take the pulse, after a long time of tea, Fang Shi shook his head, "You go." ”

Yi Chen's heart darkened, he didn't say anything, stood up and walked towards the door.

Fang Shi's expression moved and said, "Wait, someone is coming, let's go to the left side hall for a while." ”

Although Yi Chen didn't hear any movement, he walked quickly into the left side hall, and there was a faint sound of talking in the main hall.

After listening carefully, Yi Chen heard that the person turned out to be Gu Shaoxuan, the deputy capital commander, and from the words of the two, Yi Chen already understood that Gu Shaoxuan came to Fang Shi because of the high-quality emerald green herb.

Gu Shaoxuan and the others sent the herbs in the afternoon, but in the evening, they came to Fang Shi to go back privately.

After a while, there was a fierce fighting sound outside, and the fight lasted for a quarter of an hour, and soon after the sound disappeared, Fang Shi walked in covered in blood, and there was no previous look.

Yi Chen was shocked, and when he was about to leave, Fang Shi spoke: "Yi Chen, I know that you already have a mustard in your heart, but you and I can only escape from here with our cooperation." ”

Yi Chen now has no way to retreat, after a little thought, he said quietly: "The seniors also want to leave here, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." ”

Seeing Yi Chen's distrustful expression, Fang Shi had no choice but to sit down on a chair in the side hall, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and took a pill before saying, "I asked you for help before, just to get out of here." ”

"Where does this start?" Yi Chen was vigilant, Fang Shi was going to flee here, what could he do to help.

Fang Shi's face improved a little, and said: "I dug a passage in the apse of this main hall, intending to lead to the outside of the valley, but I encountered difficulties, and now I am seriously injured, so I can only ask you for help." ”

"Let me dig the passage, the stones in this valley are extremely hard, can they be dug by man?" Yi Chen didn't believe it at all.

"Of course, manpower can't dig it up. Fang Shi admitted, "Do you believe that there are gods in the world?"

"Are you an immortal?" Yi Chen asked subconsciously.

Fang Shi didn't care about Yi Chen's suspicions, and said: "I'm not an immortal, but my ancestor is a monk, and through cultivating the true exercises, I can have some immortal abilities." ”

"Monk, you can have some immortal abilities!" Yi Chen was a little surprised.

"Don't be surprised, I'm barely a monk, and I asked you for help, and you are qualified to become a monk. Fang Shi nodded slightly.

Yi Chen's heart jumped, a little excited, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Then why did you let me go before?"

Fang Shi explained: "That's because your qualifications are too poor, and now that I'm injured, I have no choice. ”

Yi Chen was a little skeptical.

In order to gain Yi Chen's trust, Fang Shi explained the reason.
