Servant of the Otherworldly Pharmacopoeia

Xu Jiu went to the space to pull out a lot of business routes, sprinkled rhinoceros bead powder and took them out, and a row of moonlight wooden sticks were lined up at the base of the wall.

The black air was continuously sucked into the rhinoceros powder, and even the air became fresh.

Xu Jiu leaned on the wall to read the writing on it.

On the wall are ancient characters from hundreds of years ago. The fonts are quite different from the current ones, like wild cursive written by someone.Xu Jiu originally thought that there were patterns on the wall, but felt that the patterns were too unartistic and a mess.Later, he touched a pattern, which looked very similar to the word "no lamp", and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it resembled it, and then he recognized the word "witch" and the words "array".

Could it be a peerless secret book?

Xu Jiu's heart was full of emotion, even though he was still mostly illiterate, and even though his senior's handwriting was ghostly, it still couldn't stop him from wanting to become a peerless master.

There is the animal skin paper he brought in in the space, he took the paper, mixed the toner and water, took a branch of Shanglu and dipped it in ink to copy a little bit.He couldn't reach the high places and could only draw, and directly used ink to rub down the low places. It took him a busy day and night to sort out all the writing on the wall.

There was a thick stack of paper, and he knew less than ten characters. Xu Jiu rubbed his forehead in shame.

It is impossible to expect to become a peerless master by relying on cheat books, so he began to work hard on the wall.The wall is solid, and it sounds very dull when knocked, but it feels very good, cool and oily to the touch.

Xu Jiu took out a drill from the space and began to drill the wall. This drill accompanied him to pry many stones in the wasteland. However, after drilling on the wall for a long time, the wall was still as smooth as ever, without even a scratch.Xu Jiu touched the dent in the handwriting. How difficult is it to write on the stone, which even diamond tools can't do anything about?What's more, the handwriting is chic and elegant, and there is no hindrance between the strokes. How strong must this writer be?

"Perhaps he is really a peerless master." Xu Jiu praised, "Although the handwriting is a bit ugly, but to be able to write such ugly handwriting on it, it is self-willed to have the ability."

Although he was anxious to get out, he was not too worried now. Since it was an artificial trap, there must be an exit.No matter how delicate the mechanism is, it is still a mechanism, not to mention that this mechanism is not without breakthroughs.

A circle, Xu Jiu tried to walk away.

Heaven, Earth, Water, Fire, Ze, Mountain, Wind, Thunder

Qian, Kun, Dui, Gen, Li, Kan, Zhen, Xun

He counted the number of steps and stepped on the circle, memorizing the position according to the layout of Tai Chi Eight Diagrams.On the right hand side at 45 degrees in Kansheng District is Zhendong District, Zhendong District, Liming District, Duijin District——

Xu Jiu closed his eyes and plunged himself into complete darkness.Without the confusion of external objects, he walked quite smoothly. Three steps to the left, another step, entered the Qianyuan District. The Qianyuan District was dangerous. Xu Jiu stood there thinking for a long time, opened his eyes and placed a trade road on the ground branch.

The ground was covered with dots of commercial road branches, Xu Jiu silently calculated in his heart, took three steps back, turned left, and backed up in a straight line——

The body hit the wall.

On it is a scrawled word similar to "spoon".This herringbone is really ugly, Xu Jiu slandered, the ghosts didn't recognize the twists and turns of a calligraphy and painting, and another formation didn't run away.

Maybe the words all over the wall are formations, and if you can't break it, you have to stay in it for a lifetime.

Xu Jiu drew a circle along the ugly character, "Bagua Jiazi, Shenji Guizang", which is another Jiugong Bagua formation.Perhaps the truth will always overlap in different worlds. Xu Jiu doesn't know the name of this formation in this world, but many things are interlinked.

"Click." There was an almost negligible sound.

Xu Jiu opened his eyes and saw that his finger was pressing on the dot in the center of the word "spoon".That point is actually a live button, which triggers its mechanism according to a certain movement, and the round point is the key.

Xu Jiu didn't know that it was just his pressing that all the induction stones in the alchemy room went out.

The formation has been cracked, and the things that accompany it have failed sequentially.

Xu Jiu came out of the formation. He stood there with his eyes closed for a while, and opened them only after they got used to the light again. In front of him was a room with complicated procedures.

The place where he walked out was a wall of this room, which was very large and filled with many machines.There are two racks next to each machine, on which various medicine tanks are placed.Some machines are still in operation, with jade as the frame, an inclined bowl above which automatically pours the blue water into it, and a gemstone grinding disc at the bottom of the jade to grind the medicine powder little by little.

Where is the witch doctor clan?

Xu Jiu looked around carefully, immediately opened various medicine jars, and went to the space to get more than a hundred empty bottles, one for each type.With quick hands and feet, he quickly filled the medicine bottle.So I went to the space to get a stack of paper, poured the medicine powder on the paper and continued to pack it.

He did it carefully, and every time he stole the medicine powder, he still remembered to shake the medicine jar evenly, so that no one could see the trace.This room is as big as a warehouse, except for the first and second floors, the upper two floors are actually full of books!

Xu Jiu scanned around according to the number, and found that they were all written by the witch doctor family. Every witch doctor who could be the host had a book, which was densely packed like a sea of ​​ancestral tablets.

He quickly swept around and ran straight to the top.

According to this order, the higher the people are, the older they are, and maybe they can find the great god who wrote on the wall!

Finally ran to the top floor, there was a gate on the top floor, it was a jade platform, Xu Jiu put the gate into the space without looking at it, and swaggered in.

The room on the top floor was very empty, and there was a beautiful jade platform in the middle that enshrined a black diamond-shaped stone. Xu Jiu approached the stone curiously, and found that the word Shen Ye was engraved on it.

Is this the ancestor of the witch doctor family?

Didn't it mean that the ancestors of the witch doctor clan had no first and last names, and were only addressed by the word "witch"?

In short, such an offering is probably the ancestral tablet.Xu Jiu stepped back and bowed respectfully, then quickly ran to the opposite bookshelf.

The books of the witch doctor family are all written by themselves, and the spines of the books are all inscribed by themselves.Xu Jiu saw the familiar ugly word at a glance - "Wu Jili's great work".

In the "xxxth generation witch doctor xxx" who is passing by, it is conspicuous and makes people want to put their eyes on it.

Xu Jiu took out the big book, which was obviously a photocopy, and the characters inside were still ghostly, outrageous and full of character.The book is very new, and there are probably few people who have read it. Xu Jiu skimmed through it. The senior's words were too eye-catching. He held the book in his hand, hesitated for a long time, but still didn't want to put it back.

Anyway, I have already stolen so many medicines, so steal another book and break the jar.

He put the book into the space and planned to go out.

He had already noticed the time when he came out. He thought he had been in the unlit prison for several months, only to find that only a few days had passed when he came out.

But what is incomprehensible is that even the space is changing with the time he perceives.The crops matured one wave after another, the crops of the sixth medicine field were successfully harvested, and the seeds of the seventh medicine field grew up. The time of space changed according to his perception.

This discovery made him startled and curious at the same time. Could it be that the time of space is not fixed?

"Du Tuxuan has arrested Wu Li, what should we do?"

Xu Jiu went downstairs softly while thinking, when he got down to the third floor, he suddenly heard someone talking at the bottom.

"He meant to exchange that kid." It was another person who spoke.

"But didn't the boy die in the unlit prison!" The first man's voice was exasperated.

"Okay." It was Wu Man who spoke, "People from Du Tu's family trespassed on our forbidden area and fell down by themselves. What responsibility do we have? That kid might be a spy, and it's hard to say that he was instructed by Du Tuxuan. This The matter, even if he reported it to His Majesty, it is our responsibility."

"That's what I said, but Ah Li has already been arrested."

Wu Man sneered: "Du Tuxuan is trying to wipe out dissidents, especially our witch doctor family. His servants will make us trouble if we lose them. I heard that he has prepared an account book that is as high as one person. The family has ambushed a lot of spies, and this can't be done overnight. We just gave him a chance to tear his face."

"Then we might as well wait and see what happens." The second person who spoke, his voice has been relatively calm, "None of the people Du Tuxuan arrested is simple, and it doesn't necessarily mean who wins and who wins. We still Immediately report the incident to the Great Witch Doctor Tower and ask for the support of the Great Witch Doctor Tower."

The first person spoke: "Du Tuxuan's life was saved by our great witch doctor, he dared to turn against the great witch doctor."

Several people discussed for a long time, but decided to wait and see what happens, wait for the response from the big witch doctor tower, and contact other captured families to counterattack.

Although the lord is a prince, there are many princes who have been emptied all the time.Moreover, Du Tuxuan is a sick child who can't even walk, so he can just recuperate in the black tower obediently.

Xu Jiu was terrified when he heard it, and was extremely worried about Du Tuxuan.

He vaguely knew some of the opponent's plan, which was to forcibly destroy the powerful forces in the territory.But isn't he planning to implement this action in a few months?

No, I have to go back quickly.

How, however, is another big question.

He sat down on the ground slumped, and racked his brains to think of a way.

In the manor, Du Tuxuan smiled lightly, and the haze disappeared: "Lang, Jiu's spiritual power is very strong."

Huan was very surprised: "My lord is saying that Jiu is very healthy now?"

"He's fine, I can feel him again." Du Tuxuan's tone became brisk, "I haven't dared to sleep these days because I'm afraid of having nightmares. Now that I know he's fine, I can finally take a good rest."

Huan was also sincerely happy for him: "My lord, is the witch doctor clan planning to compromise with us? Then Wuli..."

"But the witch doctor family didn't say anything, have you received any news?"

"No, my lord."

"These people have great backers, and the nineteenth generation of witch doctors will ask Wu Chenye for help." Du Tuxuan said in a playful tone, "Wu Chenye is very rigid, so this generation of witch doctors will do anything. They all tried their best to find a reason, but in the end Wu Chenye is still Wu Chenye, and he has trained a group of villains."

Huan also knew Wu Chenye, and agreed: "Sir Shen Ye is indeed a first-class and selfless person."

"Selfless?" Du Tuxuan suppressed his smile, "Yes, selfless enough to send Yuanze to death row."

The butler recalled that Lord Yuanze also had a sad face. At the age of 16, he was sent to death row and could not come out forever. Before he went to the territory, he did not get a chance to visit him.

If Wu Chenye was an outsider, it would be a great thing for him to be selfless. Who wouldn't want the world to be full of selfless strangers?But he refused to give Yuan Ze a chance.He is also like a stranger to Yuan Ze, and the way he enforces the law impartially makes people's teeth chill.

"Even if Wu Chenye comes, I will do whatever I want. He is a benchmark of impartiality and law enforcement, and I am just a layman who wants to make money. At worst, I will fight once." When it comes to old playmates, Du Tuxuan is rare. Interested.

The butler laughed.

A few days later, Du Tuxuan executed a large number of bandits, and it was the turn of the group of wealthy households who were imprisoned earlier.

Everyone in the city was closely watching the development of the manor. When the Huangshi family was raided and their identity cards were confiscated and they were driven to the wasteland, the latent power finally activated.

First, there was a big riot on the [-]nd to [-]th streets. The poor people who had been hiding in the dark gathered in large numbers, smashed and looted in the city, and even got involved with the guards.The people whose shops had been smashed cried out in agony and flocked to the gate of the manor to cry, and some even threatened to die if they didn't see Du Tuxuanshuang.

"grown ups?"

Listening to the loud cries outside, Du Tuxuan calmly drew a big cross on the paper: "Leave them alone, let them cry."

The left street was blocked the next day, and the guards stood on the gate of the city, shooting and killing the rioters when they saw the rioters. For a while, the turmoil in the left street was quelled.

After more than ten years, people once again witnessed Du Tuxuan's ruthless determination to kill people without blinking an eye.Outside the manor, there are still small shareholder rebellions still active, but the black tower has received a flood of letters.

Most were pleas or threats, and each letter was stamped with a prominent badge.

"My lord, here is a letter from the witch doctor family."

Du Tuxuan took the letter and opened it. There were only a few words in it: "Visit soon."

"Why did Wu Chenye come here?" Du Tuxuan raised his eyebrows and asked the butler.

"My lord, I can't guess either."

Du Tuxuan put the letter in his hand and turned it over several times: "No matter what it is, just wait."

So while waiting for Wu Chenye's time, Du Tuxuan copied a few more.A group of armed forces was invading the border, so Du Tuxuanshuang simply changed the border residents into a temporary army to fight against them, and killed the head of one of the families at the city gate.

The entire purging activity lasted for half a month. During this half month, Du Tuxuan sealed off the Black Tower. Neither he nor Huan went out. All food and drink were settled in the Black Tower. At the same time, the Black Tower also activated the defense mode, preventing the The hidden danger of being assassinated outside.

Because the arrested people involved too many interest chains, the whole city was paralyzed these days, and fresh heads were replaced on the city gates every day, so that those who were originally dissatisfied dared not speak up.Afterwards, Du Tuxuan double-published the announcements, and the right to purchase mineral deposits was released again, and some people couldn't help being overjoyed for a while.

At the gate of the city, a man in black robes rode a thin Shata beast, and handed the token to the guard guarding the gate: "I want to see Lord Dutu."

The personal guard took the token and glanced at the man on the beast's back.The man had white hair, and his expression was calm like that of an ancestor enshrined in a temple. His eyes were half downcast, but it gave people the illusion of solemnity.

His aura is too strong, but people can't remember his appearance clearly.When the guard presented the token to the superior, he recalled the appearance of the person below again, but it was still a blur.

It took a long time to review the token, but Wu Chenye was still let in.

As soon as the city gate was opened, he saw the top of his head dripping with blood, and the trachea of ​​his chest was dry and thin and transparent.

He walked slowly in the city.Dutu Manor is much more prosperous, and the layout is better than some wealthy jurisdictions. There are rows of shops, and the people have enough food and clothing.A large number of people gathered at the door of some people to discuss the content of the list. For example, in order to compensate for the losses of merchants in the city, the adult did not collect taxes and fees for three months. The most heated discussion was the hundreds of decentralized industrial chains on the list. .

Originally, these industrial chains were all in the hands of those big families, but now Du Tuxuan has taken them back, split them into thin strips, and posted announcements, so that those who can live will live there.

The original complaints quickly shifted direction, and most people are eager to try, planning how to get a fancy position.

"Anyway, we're not as greedy as those people. We're living together. If we can compete, we're considered public servants!"

Wu Chenye laughed, Du Tuxuan would be the first to not rely heavily on noble lords.As for the nobility, the more the lord relies on it, the more time passes, the more he is under the control, and in the end he can only get together with the nobles, and it is not easy to break away.Many lords only found out after many years, when their work became more and more constrained, but at that time they had already become part of the faction itself, and could only follow the old system to dawdle.Of course, more people are happily throwing themselves into the joy of singing and dancing, playing various tricks, and paying no attention to the livelihood of the people in the territory.

Wu Chenye led the Shata Beast to look at the Black Tower.

Du Tuxuan has both great talents, and he feels more and more regretful as he walks away.He almost never felt this kind of soft-hearted emotion in the past few years, but now he just started to soften his heart after walking around the city.

Wu Chenye pondered for a while expressionlessly, then got on his horse and headed straight for the black tower.

"My lord, Lord Shen Ye's seal." Du Tuxuan took the small token in both hands, "Let him in."

So Du Tuxuan, who had been inactive for several days, went down from the pagoda in person to welcome the guests from afar.

When Wu Chenye opened the door and came in, Du Tuxuan was sitting on the wheelchair in the small meeting room, looking at him motionless.

"Xuan Shuang." Wu Chenye spoke with a pleasant voice.

"How did you become like this?"

When Wu Chenye was young, he was an astonishing young man with a magnificent appearance and a majestic orchid and jade tree.As for the person in front of him, his facial features were dim and blurred, so that people directly ignored his appearance, only remembering this black robe and white hair.

Wu Chenye actually had white hair.

He smiled at Du Tuxuan: "Skins are nothing."

Du Tuxuan rolled his eyes, and said carelessly: "Sit down, there is water on the table, and have some snacks."

Wu Chenye sat down as promised.His figure was too floating, and when he sat down, his black robe brushed the ground, and his whole figure was like a phantom, only the thumb spanner on his thumb was very conspicuous.

"Is this green jade or the one from when I was a child?" When they were teenagers, they bought a piece of top-quality green jade at a low price, divided it up, and each made an ornament.

Wu Chenye looked down at his hand: "Yes."

"Is Yuan Ze okay?"

"..." Wu Chenye twitched his eyelashes invisibly, then said calmly, "It's the same as before."

"Then what are you here for?"

"I will take you to the royal city when I come."

Du Tuxuan frowned: "I'm not going to Wangcheng."

Wu Chenye suddenly stretched out his hand.

Du Tuxuan saw that the palms of his hands were haggard and black.Like the Dutu family, the witch doctor family also has supernatural powers, and the hands of the great witch doctor have the ability to lift the bones of life and death.Wu Chenye said that his hands can remove the dead energy from a person.

"What's going on with you?" Du Tuxuan was very surprised.

"At the end of the winter moon, the eldest prince was nailed to the cliff by the Guanchi people and died on the spot."

Du Tuxuan's expression was terrifying: "What?"

"The eldest prince died in battle, and the crown prince is gone."

In this generation of kings, there are only two sons who inherit the blood of Golden Dutu, one is the crown prince of the kingdom, and the other is the little prince who was just born a few years ago.The eldest prince had always been trained by the future king, and the king and his wife almost devoted all their energy to him.Your Majesty is seeing the end of the year, if the First Prince dies in battle, then Du Tu will not be in danger!

"The eldest prince is the only crown prince who has the ability to defend the Dutu kingdom. The king has always been in poor health. Now that the crown prince is dead, he will be taken advantage of by other countries if he is not careful. The king does not mourn, but only says that the eldest prince is recovering from his injuries. "

Du Tuxuan's face was pale, but still full of disbelief.

"Your Majesty is very anxious, and he was dying of illness many times in grief." Wu Chenye clasped his hands together, "I also became like this."

The Dutu kingdom has stretched for hundreds of years, the royal blood is getting thinner, and the powerful golden blood is getting rarer and rarer. Even now, the death of a prince will shake the foundation of the country.But Golden Dutu is not just a bird in a cage. Its militant nature destined it to soar across the world and fight bloody battles.The more refined the blood, the purer the blood. Almost all of the previous royal families were golden Dutu.

The eldest prince has always had high hopes.

The king devoted himself to teaching him all the talents that a prince must have, let him go to fight and defend the frontier, and made him stronger and stronger, just waiting for the kingdom to be handed over to him.

"How did the First Prince die?"

"When we were at the border, two more princes came to Guanchi Kingdom."

"Then what are you doing with me?"

Wu Chenye looked at him and suddenly smiled: Naturally, I have something to ask you. "

Du Tuxuan also smiled: "You think too highly of me. I have something else to do. Would you like to visit your disciples and grandchildren?"

Wu Chenye stood up: "It's good to have a look, today is too hasty, let's talk after finishing the matter."

Du Tuxuan was silent, Wu Chenye went out, leaving him alone in the room.

The eldest prince died in battle, but the little prince was still a baby.At the age of four or five, the young children of Du Tu's family began to develop mental power, and their mental bodies manifested.At the beginning, the news that the little prince was also a golden Dutu bird really inspired a large group of people. On the day when the spiritual body was formed, the royal city was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the king even sent rewards to various territories.

But no matter how promising a child is, he is just a child.

Du Tuxuan calmly deduced the future of Wangcheng, only to feel that the sword was on the verge of breaking out, and it was unpredictable.But Wu Chenye looked extremely suspicious when he came to him at this time, the words "I have something to ask you" echoed repeatedly in his mind, and the pen in his hand was crushed.

Wu Chenye is such a proud person, if he asks for words, could it be that his target is himself?

Du Tuxuan thought of a possibility, and his whole body stiffened.Impossible, Wu Chenye wouldn't know many things... Du Tuxuan calmly analyzed for a while, no matter what Wu Chenye's purpose was, he would never allow the other party to disrupt his plan.

And he is currently mainly looking for nine.

Jiu had been missing for half a month. Although he knew that he was still safe, he still felt restless not being able to find him.Nine, where are you now?
