Chapter 2: I'm Just a Mortal
"You're not a monk, but why is your body hair-cut and washed?"
After a long time, the woman in white stared at Bai Yitong and asked.
"This ...... I don't know very well. Maybe it has something to do with a pill I've taken. I don't know the specifics. I'm just a mortal. ”
Bai Yitong thought about the experience of taking pills, and pouted and said.
"What does that pill look like, and when did you take it?"
"Maybe yesterday. The pills are bright white. Other features, I don't see. I'm just a mortal. ”
"You should be talking about the Hair Washing Pill. But after taking this pill, after going through the hair and washing the marrow, the veins of the spiritual base will finally be opened. And in your body, there is no spiritual foundation. What the hell is going on?"
“...... I'm just a mortal. ”
The woman in white couldn't ask why, and her brows furrowed even deeper. She passed by the area, and saw that there was something unusual about this waterhole, so she thought about coming down to investigate. But I didn't think about it, and I ran into Bai Yitong, who had just finished taking a bath. Before she came, she had scanned the area within ten miles with her divine sense, but no one was there. Without much thought, she flew down. Who knows, when she was about to land, she suddenly found a man in front of her. She was very strange: this man was able to evade her divine sense even though he didn't have the slightest cultivation, why did she not leave immediately in order to find out about it. But now, she didn't notice it at all, she only drove the flying sword and prepared to leave.
"I hate that one from you!"
Before leaving, the woman in white suddenly turned around and said to Bai Yitong. The words fell into silence. After a flash of white light, the woman in white was gone.
"How do I know which one? I'm just a mortal. ”
Bai Yitong touched his head and muttered to himself.
In a farmhouse at the junction of Luoguo and Gaodingguo, an old man in green clothes and an old man in blue were talking in a low voice.
"Brother Chengdao. The shopkeeper in the tavern probably overheard our conversation. Do you want to kill it?"
"Brother Wang Dao. Don't worry! I've already cast a magic poison in that pill. That kid eats the elixir, and after going through some hair cutting and marrow washing, he will open the veins of the spiritual base. And opening the vein of the spiritual base will definitely cause the magic poison. As soon as the poison broke out, the spiritual base was destroyed first. Then the poison will spread to every corner of the body. When the time comes, the boy will eventually turn into a cloud of poisonous gas and dissipate between heaven and earth. ”
"But what if that kid doesn't eat?"
"Hehe, I can't help him not eat it. I put a temptation in the elixir to make sure he would eat it. ”
"Does it take so much trouble to deal with a mortal?"
"Isn't our mission special, we can't startle the snake! Besides, we Truth Cultivators are not much stronger than mortals. ”......
King Cheng and the two kept talking about the evening until they dispersed.
The mountains and forests are very quiet, and although there are occasional wild beasts, there are few injuries to people. After all, it's not far from the city, and the smell of people is strong, and wild beasts generally don't come close. Bai Yitong left the waterhole and prepared to return to the tavern to work. Look at the sky, the sun is already in the west. At this time, it will take at least two hours to return to Siyang City. In order to save time, he plans to take a straight line and step back to the city. After seeing the direction, he didn't care what the soles of his feet were, and he just stepped all the way to Siyang City.
Chopping thorns and hemp all the way, pulling grass and kicking stones. Bai Yitong calculated the distance, and it was almost time to arrive at this time. However, there was still no shadow of Siyang City ahead. He was patient, and walked forward for another pillar of incense. Ahead, there is still no shadow of Siyang City. At this time, Bai Yitong was in a hurry. He climbed a large tree and looked ahead. In the distance, clouds and mist surrounded Cangshan, and the fallen leaves and dead grass flew nearby, but there was no shadow of the towns and villages.
Seeing this scene, Bai Yitong couldn't help but panic. He was about to shout, expecting someone to hear and point in the direction. But before the voice came out, I suddenly felt a pain in my lower abdomen. When I unbuttoned my clothes, I saw that my lower abdomen was covered with black gas. As the pain intensified, the black qi gradually began to spread around. At this rate, it will take up to three days for the black qi to disperse throughout the body.
The severe pain in the lower abdomen was unbearable, and the white eyes of direct pain grinned and cold sweat flowed frequently. He made a simple analysis of the cause of the pain in his heart. The most suspicious reason was the white pill. However, the pill has been in the abdomen for a long time, and even if you want to vomit, you can't vomit it. How did he know that the pill had already exerted its medicinal effect and washed his physique. In this process, the elixir will remove the body and retain the essence, and the impurities in the body will be discharged, so that the body is more suitable for absorbing and refining the aura.
The black qi gradually spread, and Bai Yitong was painfully unable to move. Instead, he wished he had fainted, so that he could be relieved of the pain for a while. Finally, after another hour of agony, he fainted. When he woke up dimly, he found that his nose had been itching, but the pain in his abdomen had stopped.
"Boy, finally awake?"
An old voice said in a stubborn voice.
Bai Yitong opened his eyes and looked at the person who spoke. He was a sloppy old Taoist priest with messy hair and beard. The old Taoist priest was holding a reed flower, scratching Bai Yitong's nostrils. The smile on his face had an indescribable meaning.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Bai Yitong patted off the reed flower, stared at the old Taoist priest and asked. Then he lifted his clothes and wanted to see if the black gas was still in his lower abdomen.
"Don't look at it. Your poison hasn't been cured yet. ”
The old Taoist priest picked up the reed flower, held it in his mouth and squinted at Bai Yitong, looking disdainful.
"Poisonous, am I poisoned?"
"Qi, I am a poisonous Taoist monk of the Yuan period, and this kind of little poison will admit my mistake?"
"There are no absolutes, what if you're wrong? I'm just a mortal. ”
"Hey...... Good boy, it's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. A mere mortal who was undoubtedly a small miscellaneous in the Underworld Sense Period dared to talk to a great monk like this. ”
The poisonous Taoist sneered twice, and said secretly in his heart: Moreover, he has just stepped into the threshold of the underworld period with one foot. If it weren't for the old man's use for you, he would have disposed of you like an ant.
“...... You immortal cultivators are the most cunning. It is said to be an elixir, but it is actually a poison. ”
Bai Yitong shook his head gloomily, he had already vaguely guessed the original intention of the two old men to give the pill. I couldn't help but feel full of disdain and disappointment for the immortal cultivators.
"Is the person who gave you the elixir also an immortal cultivator? At best, he can only be regarded as a true mage, and he is only in the middle of the contemplative period. After stepping into the Gathering Spirit Period, he can be regarded as a true immortal cultivator. ”
"Have you seen that man?"
"How powerful can you do with such a low-level magic poison?!"
"That'...... How am I going to be toxic? Is there an antidote?"
"Not worth mentioning to me, to you...... That's the amulet. Depending on how fast your poison spreads, it will take at least three days to turn you into a cloud of poisonous gas. It is your greatest blessing to meet me. Although this kind of magic poison is of low grade, it can also be solved by everyone. The old man has studied poison all his life, and he can naturally detoxify you. But ......"
When the poisonous Taoist priest said this, he held his beard and did not continue. Bai Yitong observed its color and knew that he would have a quid pro quo.
"Seniors might as well say bluntly, as long as I have something, I will definitely give it. ”
"Haha, the boy will laugh, how can the old man covet your things. However, the old man does have something for you to do. The old man promised to help you detoxify as soon as the matter is completed, and give you a copy of the immortal cultivation method, how about it?"
"This ...... I don't know what my predecessors need me to do. I'm afraid to ...... Can't do anything, right?"
"Huh...... I want your help, and I naturally know that you have the ability. As long as you are willing to help me, your benefits will naturally be indispensable when the time comes. ”
The poison Taoist laughed, with a hint of cunning in his eyes. It's just that this trace of cunning is hidden very deeply, how can the fledgling Bai Yitong find it.
"Okay then, but you have to swear that you will never go back on what you promised me. ”
Bai Yitong had the lesson of the last elixir, and he already had some resistance to the immortal cultivators. He asks the other party to swear that he will not be deceived again. As everyone knows, ordinary oaths have no effect on immortal cultivators at all. Only the heart demon oath can truly restrain immortal cultivators.
Sure enough, when the poisonous Taoist priest heard this, he sneered in his heart, but said with a straight face: "Okay, my poisonous Taoist swears that if I break my promise, teach me to enter the Longtan Tiger's Den and share the food for the two beasts, and there will be no bones left after death!"
The poison priest was full of seriousness, reciting an oath and making a gesture of oath at the same time. Bai Yitong saw that his oath was made simply, and he believed it. Eat a trench, grow a wisdom. He wouldn't trust a stranger at all now. Although he didn't fully believe it, Bai Yitong still accepted the conditions proposed by the poison Taoist priest. It is highly toxic and cannot be delayed. After discussion, the two decided to start the action the next day.
After the poison Taoist priest explained some matters and contact information to Bai Yitong, he flew away with a pu fan. Bai Yitong carefully prepared according to the explanation of the poisonous Taoist. Then, get a good night's sleep. As for the tavern, he was in no mood to go back now.
Early the next morning, Bai Yitong sorted out his belongings and went to the place agreed with the poison Taoist yesterday. Unhurried all the way, leisurely stride. After a while, we arrived at our destination. When he arrived, he found that the poison priest had not yet appeared, so he sat down on a stone to rest. After waiting for a long time, the poisonous Taoist priest also came.
