From the Valley of the Wicked to the Town of Demons

"Come on, let's look inside."

The three of them calmed down, Yi Xing said lightly, and then walked quietly along the verandah, heading for the village.

Although there is still room for activities outside, it is not easy to enter the village.

There were a few men guarding the door, and they looked around vigilantly. Yi Xing and the other three hid behind a tree, and couldn't help but make trouble.

At this time, Lin Xiaochuan poked Yi Xing's waist, then turned his head and gestured to the side.

Yi Xing turned his head to look, and found that not far away, there was a window open, about five or six meters above the ground, and he could enter.

Immediately touching the edge of the wall, Yi Xing saw no one around, so he jumped up, put his hands on the edge of the window, turned over and entered directly.

This place seems to be a warehouse for storing rice grains, and the water village is damp, so opening the windows creates opportunities for myself and others.

After waving his hands, Wang Yu jumped up, and Lin Xiaochuan was the last one. After all, his lightness kung fu is good and he can be in charge of the rear.

The inside of the room was relatively dark, but the three of them still followed the path to the door, pushed the door open gently, and found a corridor outside, illuminated by torches, which looked very bright.

"Let's just go out like this, it's easy to be found."

Lin Xiaochuan said lightly, after all, the corridor is very narrow and there are torches, so it is easy to expose.

"It's okay, it's late at night now, most people should be asleep, let's be careful, if we are discovered, don't be afraid, just call out."

Yi Xing was very confident, while Lin Xiaochuan gave him a blank look, thinking that you are a sixth-rank martial artist, but we are still eighth-rank martial artists.

The combat power is not the same at all, okay?

Without waiting for the two to respond, Yi Xing groped out quietly, and when he found no one was there, he gestured for the two to follow.

The corridor wasn't too long, and it soon came to an end. The three of them hid behind a pillar, and they couldn't help being stunned when they saw the scene below.

I saw that this is a hall, which can be two hundred square meters in size, and there is a pill furnace standing in the middle, burning with raging flames.

The alchemy furnace seemed to be very important. There were several men sitting around, facing outwards, surrounding the alchemy furnace, as if they were guarding it.

This scene was very strange, the three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what the bandits were going to do and why they were still making pills.

But no matter what, the alchemy furnace is too eye-catching, about three meters high, it should be made of pure copper, the flame inside is burning, I don't know what is burning, there is a strange smell in the air.

Just when the three of them were puzzled, there was a burst of noise from below, and a man was escorted in by a few men. What was different from usual was that the man was stripped naked, and his hands and feet were ironed. It was locked and it was very difficult to walk.

"Forgive me, gentlemen, forgive me, good man, good man..."

The man with disheveled hair seemed to be begging, but the man who was holding him was unmoved and pushed him down. Then someone else took two hooks and hooked them directly to his lute bones.

The hook directly pierced the flesh and hooked the bone. The severe pain made the man howl continuously, but no one showed mercy.

"What are they going to do?"

The three of them couldn't help but have a bad premonition because they fed living people to the water ghosts before, but at this moment, someone came in from outside and pulled an iron cage.

What was locked in the iron cage was a water ghost, but this water ghost didn't know what happened to him, and he was lying in the cage without struggling. If he didn't shake his limbs intentionally or unintentionally, he would have thought he was dead.

A man came over, opened the iron cage, cut open the water ghost's belly with a knife in his hand, took out various organs from it, and put them on a plate.

After the contents of the water ghost's stomach were taken out, someone carried the cage away. At this time, several people entered the hall, and the leader was a strange man in a cloak.

This weird man was wearing a tiger-head mask, and his whole body was wrapped tightly. After seeing the things on the plate, he nodded, turned around and said:

"Captain Hong, Lord Huo, you haven't seen how to refine the magic pill, right? Today is the time when the old pill is released and the new pill is being refined. It's better to hit the sun than to choose another day. Let's open your eyes."

After the weirdo finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, took out a tampon from the side, put several herbs in it, and put in the internal organs of the water ghost one by one, smashed them all into fine powder, and kneaded them into small balls.

"The medicinal materials of this magic pill are not complicated, the key is the process, the main material is the heart of the water ghost, and other organs are just auxiliary materials.

But without these supplementary materials, it is also indispensable. "

After speaking, the strange man patted his hands. He was wearing a pair of thick gloves, which were stained with various yellow and green stains.

"The two of them are indeed in collusion with this bandit."

Yi Xing muttered in a low voice, this scene already explained everything.

Hong Butou and Huo Yi hurriedly said a few words in a polite manner. It seemed that they respected this strange man very much.

"Now is the next step. The pill is ready, and we need an introduction."

After the weird man finished speaking, he waved his hands, and immediately someone came over and bent the hands and feet of the man whose lute was locked.

There was only a scream of pain, and the man screamed in pain, but the bystanders turned a blind eye to it. Seeing that his hands and feet were broken, they removed the iron chains of his hands and feet. Then, someone pulled the iron chain on the lute bone and hung the man up.

At this time, the strange man walked up to the alchemy furnace, muttering in his mouth, and didn't know what to say. He patted the alchemy furnace with one hand, and the furnace lid flew up, then fell steadily, and was caught by the strange man. in hand.

Then the strange man stretched out his hand and took out a silver plate from the hot pill furnace. There were nine pills on the silver plate.

"This pot of elixir is ready, take it."

As soon as the strange man waved his hand, the men who had been guarding outside the pill furnace moved. They jumped up one after another, their faces were full of greed, grabbed a pill, and swallowed it in one gulp, regardless of the heat coming out.

After eating the pills, these men meditated on the spot, only to see white smoke coming out of their heads, and their faces were full of expressions of enjoyment.

The weirdo didn't look at them, but stretched out his hand, took out a small bottle from his arms, put the remaining pill into the bottle, turned his head, and put the newly squeezed pill embryo on the silver plate .

At this time, the two men grabbed the iron chain and continued to pull, only to see that the man who was still howling was pulled onto the alchemy furnace, and then the two men let go slowly, no matter how much the man struggled, it was useless.

After all, the hands and feet are broken, and the lute bone is still locked, how to break free.

"No, no, no..."

With the last scream, the man was thrown into the alchemy furnace, his whole body was wrapped in flames, struggling helplessly.

Not long after, the screams stopped, and the man was completely swallowed by the flames and fell inside. At this time, the two men pulled back the iron chain, but there were only two red-hot iron hooks hanging alone in the air.

"This elixir is powerful, and it needs to be refined with living people, and the yin and yang can be reconciled before it can be taken."

After the strange man finished speaking, he put the silver tray into the alchemy furnace, and Hong Butou and Huo Yi were so startled that their jaws almost dropped, and unconsciously, they took several steps back.

"This is the Living Pill..."

The three people upstairs were terrified when they saw it, and Yi Xing's eyes were even redder. He wished he could draw his sword right now and kill these people cleanly.

Alchemy by living people is not a secret, it is said to have existed in ancient times, but because it is too cruel and against the way of heaven, since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, it has been explicitly prohibited, and it is not the same as burial of living people, sacrifice of living people, and refining of weapons by living people It is called the four taboos, and those who dare to violate them will be guilty of the same crime as the chaotic dynasty, and the nine clans will be punished.

In other words, if this matter is passed back, it will become a major event that will shake the government and the public.
