Chapter 23
Chapter 23
Ying Sanliang touched this side of the spirit boat and looked there, his face was full of the astonished expression of a poor casual cultivator who had never seen the world.
"I've been envious of this flying magic weapon for a long time. After all, the sword heart of my life moves at will. How does the spirit boat control its direction?"
A hummingbird was parked on Lu Yan's shoulder, the feathers were lifelike, and the black peas-like eyes occasionally spun twice. Lu Yan closed his eyes, his consciousness was connected with the hummingbird, and his index finger tapped regularly. what to think.
Yuan Chi is too tall, and always bumps his head when entering the cabin, but he doesn't have a long memory, bumps again and again, and laughs "hehe" after the collision. He is used to getting up early to practice martial arts in Houtucheng. He also holds a long knife in his hand, dancing vigorously.
Obviously there were only three people on the spirit boat, and it felt like a group of demons were dancing wildly.
Lu Yan stopped with his index finger, and stuffed the hummingbird from his shoulder back into the storage bag. He was blowing the wind on the bow of the boat at this time. The speed of the spirit boat was not fast, and the breeze was just right. Behind the ears, he said to Sanliang: "If you are curious, when the Yigu Lingzhou sends you off, the Divine Creation Sect has a lot in stock."
Ying Sanliang cupped his fists and leaned in front of Lu Yan: "Thank you boy who spreads wealth!"
Yuan held a set of saber techniques to close his momentum, wiped the sweat off his face with his shoulders, and looked into the distance energetically. He seemed to see something, came to the edge of the spirit boat, and leaned out of the guardrail: "A bunch of...flying trees? "
"What flying tree?" Ying Sanliang appeared next to Yuan Chi in a flash, covered his forehead with one hand, and carefully identified it for a while, "Huh, it seems to be someone from Yigu?"
Lu Yan tilted his head, and saw an oval-shaped flying magic weapon gradually approaching in the distance. A group of people in brown Taoist robes stood on it. They also saw this spirit boat from the opposite side. The disciples didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend. After communicating for a while, a representative was sent to ask questions from a distance.
"This is a disciple of Medical Valley. I have something important to go out. I don't know where you are from?"
He is really a disciple of Medical Valley.
Medicine Valley has wood spirit roots and earth spirit roots mostly. The wood element is close to nature, and the earth element cultivates elixir, so the Taoist robe is also made to look like the earth. If it is a direct disciple, there will be mysterious grass and wood patterns on the sleeves and neckline .
The opposite side was only wearing a brown Taoist robe, and there were so many people, it really looked like a flying tree stump.
However, Lu Yan frowned. At the moment when Yigu is about to hand over the head, why did Yigu have so many disciples traveling together?
Ying Sanliang actively waved his hands and said hello: "Here are Lu Bupo from the Divine Creation Sect and the Young Master of Houtu City. They are going to the Valley of Medicine to observe the ceremony."
The two flying artifacts were getting closer and closer. The Yigu disciple who started to shout saw Ying Sanliang's face clearly, and didn't see the appearance of a rumored genius in Zhongtian Zong. He asked suspiciously, "Are you Uncle Lu Bupo?"
Ying Sanliang quickly shook his head: "I'm just a guard. The one next to me is Yuan Chi, the young master of Houtu City, and the one behind him is Lu Bupo from the Divine Creation Sect."
Lu Yan stood up, the personal disciple token flashed from his hand, nodded and said, "Where are you going at this time?"
The Yigu disciples saw the token clearly and saluted together: "I have seen the young city master, I have seen Master Lu!"
The disciple who spoke at the beginning showed anxiety and panic on his face, and replied: "There is a strange disease in a town in the mortal world. Once it falls asleep for three days, it will die quietly. A disciple of Yigu went to check it. Who knows Accidentally, he also slept for three days, and died, not even his soul left behind."
Ying took a breath in twos and twos: "The body dies and the way disappears?"
"That's right, Spiritualism can't be found at all. After this happened, Master Kongqing immediately rushed to the town to try to develop an antidote," another disciple continued, "Now all the disciples who can come out of the Medical Valley have come out. Even if there are medicines that can cure diseases in the future, there are really not enough people."
Lu Yan made seals with one hand, controlled the direction of the spirit boat, and said in a deep voice: "I will go with the Valley of Medicine, answer three or two, young city lord, I will give you another spirit boat, you can go to the Valley of Medicine and wait for me first."
"Brother is not kind," Ying Sanliang said freely after being shocked, "Since I sold you for 150 years, I have to protect you even if you go to the mountain of swords and go to hell."
Yuan Chi scratched his head and put the sword behind his back: "I can't follow Po Po."
Lu Yan held his forehead: "Hey, you..."
The disciples of Yigu were overjoyed, with the help of this junior uncle of the Divine Creation Sect, maybe there will be a turning point immediately!
Lu Yan welcomed all the Yigu disciples onto the spirit boat, and talked with them: "Are you Master Kongqing still in that town?"
"Yes, Senior Uncle Kong Qing said that if the strange disease is not cured, the seal of the head will not be accepted."
Generally speaking, major events in the cultivation world need to be calculated in advance. For example, the handover of Yigu started to calculate a year ago, and only such a good day was calculated. status.
At this time, there are still twelve days before the handover of the head of Medical Valley.
Lu Yan controlled the spirit boat and slowly arrived at the location according to the guidance of the Yigu disciples.
Seen from the bottom up, a small town is surrounded by an isolation formation. From the bottom up, all the lights, whether in the house, in front of the shop, or on the tower, are all lit up, blinding the eyes with whiteness, for no reason. It makes the heart beat faster and produces an inexplicable fear.
Even Yuan Chi, who lacked a clue, said, "It's so uncomfortable here."
More than uncomfortable.
Lu Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly, covering his eyes.
It made him feel oppressed here, not emotionally, but the oppressive effect on the soul.
This town is called Baiqiu, it is a small county town, most of the surnames in the city are Bai and Qiu, Meng Ke stood in the isolation formation, he was only one step away from getting out, but he didn't move.
Lu Yan controlled the spirit boat to land, and people who lived on the edge of the isolation formation poked their heads out from the windows, watched the spirit boat descend from the sky with burning eyes, and whispered, "Immortal, it's an immortal!"
"It's saved, we're saved!"
Meng Ke looked extremely haggard. He had just broken through to Nascent Soul, and he was so exhausted at this time, which shows that he was exhausted during this period of time. He was waiting for the disciples of Medicine Valley to arrive, but when he looked up, he saw a familiar person: "Not broken? You Why are you here, go back quickly!"
Of course, Lu Yan could understand the concern in Meng Ke's words, and said, "Senior Brother Kong Qing is too unjust. If I stay out of the matter now, won't I be trapped in injustice?"
"You know I don't mean that," Meng Ke rubbed his temples, "You're not a medical practitioner, if something happens to you, how can I explain it to the Divine Good Fortune Sect and my uncle."
Meng Ke is not a disciple of the Valley Master of Yigu, he is the first disciple of an elder of the Valley of Medicine.
Lu Yan took out a nonsensical pen: "The maintenance department of my Divine Good Fortune Sect is still inside, and I will break the formation myself if I talk nonsense?"
Meng Ke had a terrible headache. Now he was not sure if this strange disease was contagious, so he could only temporarily use the isolation formation to trap it in and prevent it from entering or leaving. He asked a few familiar Yigu disciples to come in to help, and the others were scattered all over the place , observe whether the same strange disease appears in other places, and report it immediately if there is one.
The three of Lu Yan finally entered Baiqiu City.
Ying Sanliang was almost blinded by the white light all over the city. This kind of lamp was invented by Uncle Lu of the Divine Creation Sect. It uses spirit stones to activate the formation. It is cheap and has a long-lasting brightness. After improvement, the brightness and color can be adjusted.
"I call this strange disease 'yellow beam'," Meng Ke led a group of people to the maintenance department of the Shenhaohuazong here. After Yigu arrived, the head of the maintenance department took the lead to give up the shop as a temporary shelter and The alchemy department also helped arrange mortals, "There is no warning, you can fall asleep anytime, anywhere, after a deep sleep, there is no way to wake up, until you die on the fourth day."
Where Lu Yan passed by, some people sat on the threshold in a daze, staring at the direction of the lamp, despite the tears streaming down their faces, they refused to turn away; I don't care about the bleeding, and after dozing off for a while, some cut a cut on the arm with a knife, stimulating with pain, hindering the instinct of falling asleep.
The small desire to live condensed into substance and permeated the whole city.
"The immortal save my granddaughter, she is only five years old, she is only five years old!"
An old lady knelt down in front of Meng Ke with a plop, holding a child in her arms, wearing two round buns, sleeping peacefully, her soft lips curled up, as if she was dreaming a sweet dream.
Meng Ke helped the old lady up. The old lady didn't know where the strength came from, and she grabbed Meng Ke's sleeves tightly. She knew that this was a fairy who came to treat them after the outbreak of a strange disease: "You save me!" For her, I will set up a longevity monument for you, pray for Buddha lamps for you, kneel for you, as long as you save her and make the old woman pay for her life!"
The old lady doesn't know how to cultivate, and doesn't know that Buddhism, Taoism, and medicine are three different systems.
Meng Ke squatted down weakly, and touched the little girl's pulse with his fingers. The child's heartbeat was beating normally. It seemed that she was just asleep and would wake up after a while.
"The elixir is useless..." Meng Ke murmured.
These words were spoken in a very low voice, but those who were able to hear them were so sad that they almost shed tears.
Especially the disciples of Yigu, this is their uncle, the next generation of the valley master of Yigu. Hold up a piece of sky.
At this moment, carrying the fate of the whole city and even the mortal world on his back, because of a pill, his back was almost crushed.
Lu Yan covered his eyes with aura. Apart from being able to deconstruct the formation, his eyes have been discovered by him for more functions. The blood flow, heart beating, and soul of the little girl's whole body can be seen.
There seems to be no problem... no, no.
Lu Yan quickly took out the brush, and a complicated rune was formed under the pen, and then Lu Yan tapped the rune on the little girl's brow, and sternly shouted: "Deal!"
Several people present didn't understand runes. Meng Ke saw a golden light entering between the child's eyebrows, and was startled for a moment by Lu Yan's sudden shout: "Not broken?"
Suddenly, the sleeping little girl moved her finger.
Meng Ke was still holding the child's wrist, so of course he could sense this insignificant moment. His body froze and he subconsciously held his breath.
The little girl turned over gently in the arms of the old lady, rubbed her eyes with the hand that was not held, and acted softly: "Grandma~"
"Shh-"
All eyes were on the little girl.
The eyes of the people struggling with sleep were shining brighter than lamps, and they couldn't help but took a step in the direction of the little girl.
Then, he looked at Lu Yan with more intense and eager eyes.
The old lady let go of the hand that only grabbed Meng Ke's sleeve, and her rough and wrinkled arms wrapped around the little girl in her arms, and a tear fell quietly on the little girl's face.
The little girl opened her eyes, saw the tears in grandma's eyes, and said softly, "Don't cry, grandma, I dreamed of a fairy, and the fairy asked me to come back, so I will come back~"
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back..." The old lady wiped her tears, kneeled in front of Lu Yan, and put the little girl down from her arms, "Look, this is the god who saved you, hurry up, give the god a bow, thank you You, old lady, thank you..."
The little girl raised her head ignorantly. Under the dazzling light, Lu Yan's facial features could hardly be seen, but they invisibly blessed him with a layer of brilliance.
Like the Buddha in the temple, like the high sun, gradually overlapping with the fairy who woke her up in the dream.
The little girl thought so, so she said: "Brother, you are like a fairy in my dream."
Lu Yan's footsteps were deflected, and he didn't accept the gift. He reached out and rubbed the girl's bun: "Don't worry, everything will be fine from now on."
**
After appeasing the people in the city, Meng Ke and Lu Yan speeded up and went to the maintenance department of the Divine Creation Sect, which was temporarily used as a shelter.
The disciples in the maintenance department have all graduated from Buluofulai. They are not very high-level, but they all have special skills, or they have unique insights into magic runes, or they are skillful in handwork, and they can learn how to make various utensils. Or have a business mind is very clever.
The strange disease in Baiqiu City broke out suddenly this time. First, after Yigu disciples died in the city, Yigu reacted quickly. From rolling out the isolation formation to analyzing the pills in one go, the maintenance department of course can't sit still, they don't understand Medical skills are very agile, and they are busy, and they didn't remember until they saw their little uncle—oh, by the way, they haven't sent a letter to the sect yet.
Not much to say, Lu Yan greeted the disciples in the maintenance department, and followed Meng Ke directly to the place where the medicine was refined. There was an alchemy furnace in the room, and Meng Ke moved the whole medicine cabinet. Both.
Meng Ke showed the elixir formula that he had made before, and said, "This is the elixir formula I developed based on the symptoms. Before you came, I had given it to people in the whole city, thinking it would work, but who knew it would not work?" Effect."
"No, it's not without effect." Lu Yan's medical skills are only superficial, and he can roughly see that the main function of the pill is to stabilize the soul and strengthen the body. This direction is completely correct. The rune I drew just now is the soul-fixing talisman."
According to folklore, people will lose their souls after being frightened, and they need to use some things to find their lost souls.
"I have never been clear why the body died and the dao disappeared." Lu Yan looked calm, his eyes looked bottomless, as if filled with an abyss, "I just found out that when people fall into sleep, they will Like a lost soul, the three souls and four souls gradually leave the body until they slowly disappear."
That's why Lu Yan yelled after the soul was fixed, in order to recall the soul that was lost not long ago.
The soul is gone, and the body naturally passes away.
Why can't the soul be recruited, because the soul is the first to disappear!
Meng Ke is the successor who was taught by the owner of the Valley of Medicine. He reacted immediately after being reminded. He spread the prescription on the wall and took out a pen to modify and subtract: "Yes...it should be like this, replace this. Become the soul-returning grass, and replace it with two more to reduce the medicinal effect of the soul-returning grass, it can't be too strong, otherwise the mortal body can't bear it... yes, yes, this should be fine!"
Lu Yan leaned against the wall.
The human race is the toughest and most vulnerable race.
The fate of the human race is related to the fate of the entire cultivation world.
Over there, Meng Ke changed the pill formula, swept away his exhaustion, and hugged Lu Yan fiercely: "No break, fortunately I let you in!"
Lu Yan who was thinking: "..."
Why doesn't this sound right?
