Chapter 90: Medusa
"These two books are the notes of the old man's experience for many years, the thin one is the experience of refining medicine, and the thick one is the experience of refining tools. The old man's refining medicine is so-so, the first glimpse of the doorway, refining is the old man's strength, and I will hand it over to you. ”
Back at the inn, Fang Shi took out two pamphlets from his carry-on package, stroked the cover of the pamphlets, smoothed them, and rubbed them for a moment before handing them to Chen Anzhi.
"Thank you Shibo!" Chen Anzhi solemnly took it with both hands, he knew that this was Fang Shi's life's work, how many people thought about it but couldn't get it, he cherished it very much.
The two booklets respectively read "Overview of Alchemy" and "Overview of Alchemy".
In the past few days, Fang Shi has taken good care of him. What he learned turned out to be a wholehearted teaching, which made Chen Anzhi inexplicably moved. Although it was only a half-master gift, Chen Anzhi had already treated Fang Shi like a master in his heart.
Fang Shi waved his hand and said: "The old man is used to being free, he has no children and no daughters in his life, and it would be a pity to think about it if he followed the old man into the coffin book with what he learned." There is a chance to pass it on to you, it is good, from now on you are the sixth generation of the "Shennong Materia Medica", and when you meet a suitable apprentice in the future, you will pass on this Materia Medica. ”
"Uncle Shiba, the little nephew is still young. How can you accept apprentices. Chen Anzhi said awkwardly.
"I didn't say now, the old man said later. Fang Shi said emphatically.
"There are also these Qi Replenishing Pills, Liushen Pills, all of them in this jade bottle are of the highest grade, you take them as soon as possible to replenish what you need in your body. Bring the realm up again. In the oasis, there are many crises, and maybe the old man will not be able to take care of you at any time. All cultivation has to rely on oneself. The old man will escort you for a ride at most. After speaking, Fang Shi took out a jade bottle from his arms and handed it to Chen Anzhi.
Chen Anzhi took the jade bottle, immediately took three pills, and then meditated cross-legged.
The Qi Replenishing Pill melts in the mouth, and a warm current penetrates deep into the Dantian, closing his eyes and looking inward. This warm current gradually repairs the meridians in the body. The true qi in the body gradually grows.
There was no word all night, and both of them were meditating silently.
For three days in a row, except for going downstairs to eat, I spent the rest of the time meditating in my room.
These three days. Chen Anzhi's complexion is getting better and better. Qi Replenishing Pill replenishes the true qi in the body. The Six Divine Pills restored the damage of the divine soul, and with a two-pronged approach, Chen Anzhi felt that the meridians in his body were repaired. Although the realm stays in the realm of the second grade of the martial artist. But Chen Anzhi believes that at this moment, he is not inferior to anyone in the realm of Dacheng at the same level.
After staring at Chen Anzhi for a while, Fang Shi said, "Since you're almost done, it's time for us to set off." It's been almost ten days since we came out of the Flame Mountain Range, so we still have to go back and take a look, and if we don't take a look, the old man is uneasy. ”
Chen Anzhi jumped up and said, "The little nephew is going to prepare to lead the horse, delaying the uncle too much, and the little nephew is uneasy." ”
"You don't need to be upset, Anzhi, Anzhi, the old man wants your parents to give you this name, and naturally hopes that you will be calm and indifferent in everything. It is rumored that there was Buddhism in ancient times, and the Buddha was powerful and Hanshan had "Hanshan Founding" handed down. ”
"In the past, Hanshan asked and said: The world slandered me, deceived me, insulted me, laughed at me, despised me, despised me, hated me, deceived me, how to deal with it?"
"Pick up the clouds: just endure him, let him, let him, avoid him, bear with him, respect him, ignore him, stay for a few more years and watch him. ”
"The world is impermanent, and every drink and peck has cause and effect. Sow good causes in everything and reap good results. Okay, the old man is long-winded, let's go. Fang Shi smiled, and found that since there was an extra junior beside him, he talked a lot more than usual.
The two led their horses out of the inn, asked for the direction of the Flame Mountain, and galloped away.
The scorching sun in Mowo Prefecture is still hot, and this time I feel a lot more relaxed. One was that he had gained something before, and the other was that the personnel were safe, Fang Shi didn't have much hope here, but just took a look and broke his thoughts.
Along the way, Fang Shi explained a lot of strange things to Chen Anzhi, and the two of them traveled all the way without feeling tired at all.
In just one day, he was in the previous Flame Mountain Range again.
In the desolate flaming mountains, there were a mess of humanoid stones scattered everywhere.
Before they reached the entrance of the cave, the whole earth suddenly shook violently, and the four horses fell to the ground.
"What's going on?"
"Dismount quickly. Fang Shi's originally relaxed and smiling face suddenly became solemn.
"Originally, the old man thought that we would go back for so many days, and everything that should be excavated in this cave has been excavated, but this is just to confirm it, and I broke my thoughts. Unexpectedly, after so many days, it is not over yet. That's not an ordinary thing. ”
"Shibo, let's go in and have a look?"
"No, your injuries are not healed, and now you are in the second-grade realm of a talented martial artist, and if you enter, you will be sent to death. Fang Shi flatly refused.
"Shibo, look, someone has come out. Chen Anzhi pointed to the figure that appeared at the entrance of the cave in the distance.
Fang Shi's eyes lit up and said, "Don't speak, let's wait and see." ”
There are more and more figures at the entrance of the cave, and one person is running wildly. Fang Shi fixed his eyes and saw that it was actually Long Jiugong.
"Nine Princes, Nine Princes, this way!" Chen Anzhi beckoned again and again.
Long Jiugong was originally directionless, but when he saw the beckoning, he rushed forward.
Fang Shi ran forward, saw Long Jiugong's face, and said in shock, "Brother Long, why are you so seriously injured. Quick, quick, quick, this is the Qi Replenishing Pill, swallow it quickly. As he spoke, he took the pill from his bosom.
At this moment, Long Jiugong's face was withered, his hair was messy, his eyes were white, the corners of his mouth were bloodshot, and his breath was empty, and he looked like he was about to return to the West.
Fang Shi sent the kettle and the Qi Replenishing Pill to Long Jiugong's mouth, and Long Jiugong swallowed it with difficulty. After a while, a trace of blood regained on his face.
Fang Shi glanced around, there were fleeing figures everywhere, and everyone had a terrifying expression on their faces.
What was going on inside? How could it lead to such a rout.
"Quick, run!" As soon as he recovered his breath, Long Jiugong weakly urged the two of them to flee for their lives.
Fortunately, there was a horse with him, and Fang Shi carried Long Jiugong on his shoulders and galloped wildly. He ran all the way to the edge of the Flaming Mountains before stopping.
There was no figure in sight behind him.
"Is there any wine?" said Long Jiu fairly.
Fangshi changed the flask. Long Jiugong raised his head and drank several sips, and then said in shock: "It's too terrifying inside, it's good to run fast, otherwise your life will be gone." ”
"Take a few more sips and suppress the shock. Fang Shidao.
After a few more sips, Long Jiugong said slowly: "Only after separating from you on that day, the old man called Hanako entered the stone cave on the other side. The stone cave on that side was originally advanced by the Golden Knife Gang, and when the old man entered, a long way ahead had been explored, so naturally he got nothing. ”
"The stone path over there is different from the one we probed, and ours is unusually cold. It was unusually hot on the other side. Later, the old man thought that it should not be a strange treasure. There is this hot and cold effect. The old man fell far behind the team, and he didn't seek to capture the treasure, so he could pick up a leak if he saw more. ”
"I found out later. It's not just the Golden Knife Gang inside. There are many sects. The old man saw that there were all sects in the south and the north, and the old man pondered it. Guess, it may be someone from the Blood Demon Palace. Only the Blood Demon Palace crisscrosses Henan and Hebei Provinces, and in recent years, it has penetrated Jiangnan and North Rivers. So the old man mixed in and became a little minion in it. ”
"Entering the innermost, there is a cave, the cave is beautiful, and the space is huge. There are all kinds of treasures inside, but there are people watching them, and they are not allowed to touch them. In the center of the cave is a jade-colored coffin. There are some longevity lamps around, night pearls and the like. There are also bookshelves and pills. said that it was born in the cave, and when the coffin lid was opened, it was actually a peerless banshee. When he said this banshee, Long Jiugong's complexion changed. You can imagine the horror at the time.
"That banshee is a huge snake demon, about hundreds of feet long. After being awakened by the crowd, he was furious and stared at them with wide eyes. The most terrifying thing happened, all the people who were stared at by the snake demon actually slowly petrified their whole bodies in a few breaths. The scene at that time came to mind, Long Jiugong was already trembling all over, and the hand holding the wine jug was shaking.
After another sip, Long Jiugong continued: "Fortunately, Hanako always hid far away, but the scene at that time was too terrifying. Rows and rows of them became stone people. ”
Fang Shi said with a solemn face: "Sure enough, it's it!"
Chen Anzhi: "What is it?"
Fang Shi said: "Before, before we entered the cave, we saw piles of human-shaped stones, vivid, with hideous and terrifying expressions, and the old man had some guesses in his heart at that time. But I thought it was incredible, so I didn't say it. In this way, it should be a snake king 'Medusa' inside. ”
"Medusa? Chen Anzhi said suspiciously.
"Of course you haven't heard of it, this is a kind of monster that appears in an extremely remote place, Medusa is just a transliteration, not a monster native to our barren continent. The greatest horror of this monster is that after gazing, any living thing will turn into a stone sculpture, and this trick is called 'Medusa's gaze', which was a very terrifying thing in that era. When the old man was also reading ancient books, he read it as a story, and he couldn't imagine that it was true. Fang Shi said slowly.
"I see. After the initial panic, Long Jiugong calmed down, and then slowly retold the scene at that time.
After Medusa woke up, she ravaged wildly, and too much cannon fodder in front of her turned into stone, and then twelve blood-red bronze coffins appeared. ”
"Scarlet Mother-in-law, there are actually twelve, and it's really the Blood Demon Palace. It seems that this time it was the Blood Demon Palace that drove all the subordinates to come, and what they wanted was not small. Fang Shi was surprised. The blood-colored copper coffin is the vessel of the blood-colored mother-in-law, and over the years, it has ravaged Henan and Hebei provinces, and countless masters have been split by the copper coffin. The world thought that there were at most three or five statues, but they didn't expect that it was twelve!
This is a huge piece of intelligence.
As a killer, Fang Shi naturally knew the importance of Dao intelligence to the killer. Almost every killer has their own unique intelligence organization that collects all the intel and sorts them into categories. The more detailed, the better.
"It's twelve, and above the twelve, there is a blood-colored figure, which seems to be able to command these twelve blood-colored bronze coffins. The old man called Hanako far away, only to hear the blood-colored figure shouting, 'Swing the capital of the sky twelve days of evil array to surround Medusa', and then the twelve blood-colored bronze coffins were arranged in a circle according to the formation, Medusa rushed left and right inside, and the two sides collided fiercely. ”
Then, there was a little commotion in the crowd behind, and I always called Hanako and I was behind the most luke, and I turned around and ran the fastest. ”
"Then why are you still injured, so badly. ”
"Brother Fang, you underestimate Medusa's power too much, twelve blood-colored copper coffins plus a blood-colored figure besieged, still unable to completely strangle that snake demon, the last two parties fought, Medusa launched an indiscriminate indiscriminate attack in a rage, and the last one exploded wildly, the entire cave was shaken, and the old man was far away, and he felt as if he was flattened by a huge vibration wave, if he hadn't desperately urged the true qi in his body to resist to death, the old man would have died a long time ago. Long Jiugong couldn't help but tremble when he thought of Medusa's violent strength, and he could imagine how terrifying it was at that time.
"What happened to the twelve blood-colored bronze coffins?" Fang Shi asked eagerly.
If both sides end up together, then there will be much less bloody rain in the rivers and lakes from now on. Thinking of this, Fang Shi's breath was short.
"I don't know what to do, the old man is thinking about running for his life, how can he manage so much?"
"Do you want to confirm?" Fang Shidao said.
"You're crazy, now and in the past, no matter which side exists, we can't afford to mess with it, let's go!" Long Jiugong roared in disbelief.
"Forget it, since you are against it, then we won't go, it's important to recuperate. Fang Shi glanced regretfully in the direction of the Flame Mountain Range, and turned back to leave. (To be continued......) (To be continued......)
