Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 67 The Death of the Lotus Flower
"Didn't I tell you not to come! Did you take my words as fart? What about Qingfeng? Did you stay in the Taoist temple?" The master was very angry, but he didn't dare to scold me too loudly.

I whispered back, "No, I left her on it."

The master covered his face, wondering if he was thinking of scolding me with something, so he quickly persuaded him to calm down, saving people is the most important thing now.

The master sighed, then pointed to the front and let me open the way.

This old man is not stupid, but I don't have time to bother with him, so I walked forward quickly, looking around carefully, hoping to find the trace of my wife.

After walking for about a hundred meters, the front suddenly became clear, and the surrounding area was no longer just a single stone wall, and no animal carcasses were visible on the ground.

In the distance, it seems that there is another bridge, which is sitting on an underground river.

Seeing this kind of building underground, the master looked a little uneasy, and walked quickly to the bridge to observe.

"Here, there may be a tomb or something. From my observation, this place is not suitable for burial. You can feel the wind here in the air, and air is a taboo in the construction of tombs. If there is air, the things inside will be easily buried." Rotten." The master said, stroking the bridge railing gently with his hand.

"Master, when I came down, I saw two wells in the village. I'm afraid the wind is not poured in from the two wells." The master nodded after hearing this, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and quickly walked across the stone bridge .

He glanced at the stone wall on the opposite side of the bridge, then turned to me and said, "This is not a tomb. It should be best described as 'alchemy room'."

When I heard the "alchemy room", the first thing that came to my mind was the place where the master was rescued before, and then I continued to ask why the master said that.

He said that during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor was clearly trying to win over the Han people, so that Taoism did not suffer too much impact.In fact, many sects of Taoism have been suppressed to varying degrees, especially Tianshi Taoism.Both Tianshidao and Maoshan School are refining external alchemy to assist in cultivation.

However, Kangxi was very opposed to Taoism’s pursuit of immortality, and seeking prescriptions and medicines at that time. He believed that these things were just demagogues, and secretly suppressed our sect many times.

Therefore, many Taoist priests who are obsessed with alchemy moved their alchemy furnaces to some strange places, such as ancient tombs, in order to continue to study the art of immortality and immortality.

What the master said is very reasonable, let alone whether these Taoist priests have refined the "elixir of life", at least the literature left behind is of great help to Chinese medicine.

"The alchemy furnace should be at the back." The master was about to go to the back. At this time, I felt a destructive hostility on the left side of my body, rushing towards us.Quickly turned around, pinched the formula and chanted the incantation, and threw the corpse suppressing talisman out.

It's a pity that I didn't hit it. As soon as the talisman came out, I heard something fell into the water.

The master heard the sound of water, saw that I was already in a fighting posture, and asked me what was going on in a panic.

"It's probably that thing!" said the master.

"What? Isn't it a zombie?"

"It's a zombie, but it's much more powerful than ordinary ones. I don't know what he looks like, but he must have become a spirit."

The master didn't explain much, and told me to be careful, but he turned over and jumped into the water.At this time, not far from the side of the bridge, the teacher's wife's voice came out.

"Lotus!" The master jumped over the bridge railing and jumped into the water when he heard his wife's voice.I wanted to stop him, but now it seems that I can't stop him even if I want to.

After that ghost fell into the water, there was no movement at all, maybe it was waiting to attack us somewhere.I was afraid that this beast would sneak attack on the master, so I got off the bridge and ran to the shore. Fortunately, there was still a way to walk here, and I could keep a distance from the master, so I could cover him from behind.

The master waded through the water and ran towards the place where the master's wife heard his voice.I followed the master on the shore and kept looking at him. I didn't notice the stone wall in front of me. I bumped into it and fell to the ground.

Damn, why is there a wall here?

I rubbed my head, stood up in a daze, and turned my head to see that the master had gone far. I don't know how long this underground river is, but it must not be very close.Thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and jumped into the water to chase the master.

I looked around with the flashlight, and I couldn't even see a ghost, but I saw a very familiar thing.

An oil lamp hung on the wall.

I was attracted to it all of a sudden, and walked out of the water to the shore again.Go to the wall where you just hit, and take a closer look with the flashlight.Sure enough, it was exactly the same oil lamp in the stone room in Heigouzi.Moreover, there seemed to be signs of mechanism behind the oil lamp.

I hope it's not a trap, I checked the ground, and after confirming that there are no cracks, I reached out to hold the oil lamp and pulled it hard.

"Crack, boom"

From the gap by the wall, a burst of dust sprang out, and I hurriedly covered my mouth and nose, hoping it wasn't poisonous gas.

As the sound ended, a crack opened on the wall in front of him, which looked like a door.When I saw this scene, I wanted to tell my master the news, but I forgot that he was looking for his wife in the dark river.

When I walked to the shore, I found that Master's flashlight had stopped at a water level of 60 meters. I hurriedly asked him what happened.But there was no response there, so let's ignore the stone wall and go take a look first.

Just after submerging my feet in the water, after walking a few meters, my ankle seemed to be grabbed by someone.I was startled, it's not good, this guy has been ambushing me here all this time.

Immediately use a flashlight to shine down, but the water is so muddy that it is impossible to see clearly.There was no need for talismans in the water, so he was lucky with one hand and hit the water behind him fiercely.

"Oh!"

The water surface was splashed everywhere by my air waves, and the hands on the ankles were loosened at the same time, so I hurried towards the master.

When I got close, the scene in front of me made my mind go blank.

The teacher was lying in the arms of the master, her face was pale, and there was a life-saving blood talisman on her forehead.There was a stream of blood flowing from her mouth, and there was a big wound on her stomach, as if torn open by a wild beast, and the master's hand was covering it.

"Don't delay, let's go." The teacher lost her breath after she finished speaking.

I don't know what happened to her before the master came, or how long she survived.The surface of the water was already stained red with blood.

I knelt in front of my wife, with a sore nose. For more than a month, my wife has treated me like my own child.I have always regarded her as my own mother, and scenes of memories swept away.

The master held his wife in his arms, tears streaming down his face, without saying a word.I didn't know how to persuade him, so I could only hug the little old man and cry with him.

After a while, the master's condition gradually stabilized. He wiped away his tears, then stretched out his hand and said to me, "Thirteen, this is what your wife left you."

Looking at the jade pendant in the master's hand, I shook my head and said, "This is from my wife, you can keep it, and I will have a thought in the future to protect my wife's body."

After I finished speaking, I stood up and ran back. While running, I closed my eyes and concentrated on gathering all the energy around me.However, this place must have just been ventilated, and there is not much spiritual energy.

I didn't protect my wife well, I can't let my master die too.

Even though the master shouted at me desperately behind me, I didn't stop, my mind was full of that disgusting zombie, thinking, even if I die today, young master, I will smash you into thousands of pieces!
I searched for him in the water for a long time, but I couldn't find any trace of him. I thought to myself, this bitch can run pretty fast, let's see if I don't blow you up.

While absorbing the spiritual energy, I hit the water surface with luck, and I saw something appear after "crackling" for a long time.At this time, the master also came back with his wife's body in his arms.

"Put it on, this is the master's order!"

The master put the jade pendant in front of my eyes, and I reluctantly took it.When I got it in my hand, I found that the surface of the jade pendant shone with green light, as if it was alive.

I looked at the master, and quickly put it on my neck and chest, feeling cool for a while.

It might have been because I was too excited and let out too much breath just now, my knees went limp and I knelt in the water.After the master put the body of the teacher's wife, he hurried over to help me ashore.

"It's okay, I'll just take a rest." I stared into the master's eyes and said.

"Next, leave it to the teacher."

After speaking, he opened his bag and found a paper figure the size of a palm.What is different from the past is that this paper figurine is three-dimensional.

The inside is made of split bamboo slices, the skeleton is built, and then it is pasted with paper.This is considered complete, but leave the eyes and don't draw them, and draw them when the spell is cast.

The master looked around first, then bit his finger, and drew a talisman on the back of the little paper figurine.Then the eyes of the little paper figurine were spotted with blood, and then thrown into the air.

With the sound of the incantation, the villain was suspended in the air, as if he was looking for something.

I took this opportunity to take out a half-eaten Snickers bar, and after eating, I began to concentrate, using every pore and every group of meridians in my body to absorb spiritual energy crazily.

All of a sudden, I felt qi all around my body.Some are clear, some are turbid, some are chaotic and orderly, and they all got into my body one after another.

I stopped quickly to avoid too much gas from bursting my blood vessels.

Looking down at the jade pendant left by my wife on my chest, it turns out that its function is like this.This little gossip, like a magnifying glass, pulls the aura from far away to me.

Seeing that the jade pendant was still stained with my wife's blood, I couldn't bear to wipe it off.

"Found it, it's up there!"

The master's words woke me up, and I saw the little paper man flying directly to the top, hugging the animal tightly, but it was too dark to see its appearance clearly.

Now I can't hesitate anymore, I was about to attack him with spiritual energy, but the master stopped me immediately.Immediately put away the aura that had appeared between his hands, and looked at the master wonderingly.

"The structure inside may not be so strong anymore. If you blow it up like this, it might collapse. At that time, both of us will have to be buried with him." After the master finished speaking, he poured out everything in the bag When he came out, he threw the bag aside.

There are some paper money, paper figurines and a copper coin sword in the bag. Judging by the length of the sword, it seems that it is not Zhang Feng’s one.

He fiddled with the little paper figurine on the ground, and said to me: "If I am killed by this monster, remember to take the corpses of my wife and I out and bury them together. Also, for your questions, the Mu family in the village will tell you."

After the master finished speaking, he picked up his things and ran to the bridge.

Just like the formation before, place the paper figurines in different positions.But this time, the talisman written on the paper figurine was different from the previous ones, and the talisman clearly read "The General is here".

After everything was ready, the master spread his legs apart, held a sword in one hand, stood in the formation, and started chanting spells.

No, master is too ostentatious, he will definitely be hurt by that monster!

I didn't dare to think too much, and planned to rush up to stop his suicide-like behavior, but I was knocked unconscious as soon as I took a step.
