▍Young man, it’s time to take your medicine

After a short rest, the two got up and walked forward in the stone forest.

The location of this stone forest appeared abruptly. Xiao Lu originally thought it was a naturally formed landform, but soon he discovered that it was more than that.

"Master, look over there." Mo Xue pointed to a stone pillar in the corner.

Xiao Lv turned his head and saw traces of artificial carving, and some lines that had not been eroded by the wind and sand. Although mottled, it could be seen that it was some kind of totem.

"This situation is different from the rumors." Xiao Lv became interested.

What's more, there are simple murals engraved on these stone pillars, which seem to be telling some stories.

On some relatively complete patterns, the figure of the painter kneeling and kneeling seems to be bowing to something in front of him, but that piece has been eroded by the wind and sand so much that it can no longer see its original appearance.

The two continued to walk forward, and saw a lot of traces of artificial carvings. After looking at the incomplete murals, Xiao Lv also had some ideas in his heart.

The paintings on these murals should be some ancient fairy tales.

It is similar to the scene where immortals descended from the sky, gave human beings fire, drove away wandering beasts for them, sprinkled rain to treat diseases, even preached and taught karma, and accepted the scene of everyone kneeling down.

During the few days in the rest area, Xiao Lv was not idle. He went to the library to read a lot of books and materials.

Similar myths and rumors existed in ancient times on many worlds.Human beings at that time did not have a deep understanding of everything in the natural world, so they subconsciously attributed all natural phenomena to gods, and created images in their hearts for gods that fit their imaginations, and passed on this belief from generation to generation .

These murals also look like myths born of ancient human nature worship.

But this world is a bit different, he was downgraded from the world of cultivating immortals.Flying into the sky and escaping from the ground, summoning flames or rain out of thin air are things that people in the world of cultivating immortals can do.

Rather than saying that the murals record the gods imagined by ancient humans, it is better to say that they saw the immortal cultivator by chance, and even received help from the other party, and then worshiped the other party as a real god.

Maybe what he was looking for was waiting not far away.

It is not easy to advance this way. Although the stone forest blocks the wind and sand, it cannot stop the beasts wandering in the desert. Some beasts even use this place as a lair. Whenever strangers approach, they will suddenly attack from the dark .

Therefore, every step should not be taken lightly.

On the way, they also saw many skeletons, some were unknown beasts, some were human skeletons of different ages.

Mo Xue withdrew her hand from examining the bones, and wiped them lightly with a silk handkerchief: "The bones are crisp, and they have been lying here for at least 30 years."

Xiao Lu looked at the style of clothes left on the corpse, and the incomplete weapons scattered on the side: "Maybe these are the desperadoes who went into the northwest desert to hunt for treasure back then, but they were not lucky enough to bring the treasure back."

At this moment, Mo Xue raised her hand suddenly, and a sharp cold light stabbed at Xiao Lu.

Xiao Lu didn't dodge or dodge, letting the sharp knife graze the side of his face, but didn't even cut a hair.

"Ding--"

The flying knife pierced into the stone wall behind him, making a crisp sound.

But at the same time, the Sand Snake, which had appeared out of nowhere, was pierced by exactly seven inches, and its body fell limply.

Because of his physical condition, it was difficult for Mo Xue to practice martial arts, and his internal strength was not deep, so he practiced hidden weapon kung fu that does not rely on internal strength. After a long period of hard training, relying on his accuracy and understanding of vital points, he also has the ability to protect himself .

Xiao Lv glanced back: "Not bad, there is progress."

Mo Xue: "Master should be more careful."

"Isn't it because you are there to relieve the teacher's worries?" Xiao Lu laughed.

Mo Xue: "..."

He'd better find a good day and auspicious day to study some special medicine, otherwise he will be so thick-skinned as Master that he can't be saved.

Xiao Lv, the two killed the beasts all the way, and continued to move forward in the direction where the mural remained.

……

A collapsed stone gate appeared ahead.

The stone gate is almost filled with dust and sand, and it looks desolate and mottled with time.

A light medicinal fragrance suddenly filled the air.

Xiao Lv took out the token inlaid with the medicine beads, the medicine beads had lit up again, and the pattern appeared on the token again,

Unlike the previous map, this time it is the mark that looks like a snowflake.

Both the medicine beads and tokens responded, indicating that they were going in the right direction.

Xiao Lv looked at the collapsed stone gate ahead.

It was pitch black inside, and there was a layer of fine yellow sand on the ground, but there were some round stones hidden between the yellow sand. The shape was not like it was eroded by wind in the desert, but it seemed to be rounded by running water for many years.

"A dry underground channel?"

The underground river was pitch black, and it was impossible to see where the connection was. The two looked at each other and walked in.

As soon as you enter the river, the cold feeling is even worse than before. The wind from nowhere is howling at the entrance of the cave, which sounds like weeping and crying, as if thousands of years have passed, and the ghosts forgotten in the corner are singing sadly.

From time to time, some old things can be seen in the river channel, such as broken stone bowls and pots, rough animal statues, bones, and some stone flakes carved with patterns and unknown characters.

Mo Xue: "A long time ago, this place should be regarded as a place of belief that can connect with the gods. Believers sent sacrifices that recorded their wishes into the river, hoping that they could convey their wishes to the gods."

Xiao Lv glanced at him: "Quite knowledgeable."

Mo Xue smiled modestly: "I just know a thing or two."

The deeper they went, the darker the surroundings became. The two of them did not carry a fire source, and only the token and medicine beads glowing with clear light could illuminate it.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Lv suddenly stopped, as if he hadn't heard Mo Xue speak for a long time.

No, not just talking, even footsteps are gone.

Xiao Lu turned his head abruptly, under the faint blue light, there was an empty space around him, where was the shadow of the boy?

"Mo Xue."

"Mo Xue?"

"Mo Xue—"

Xiao Lu's call echoed repeatedly in the riverbed, like countless people hiding in the dark to answer him, but there was no voice of Mo Xue.

But they walked all the way in a straight line, and they didn't pass any fork in the road. Why did they disappear?

At this moment, Xiao Li kicked something, which was lighter than a rock, and rolled out with a kick.

Xiao Lv took a closer look and found that it was a broken skull. It had become very brittle after staying in the river for an unknown amount of time, so he just knocked it lightly.Half of the head fell off, and the only remaining empty eye socket was facing Xiao Lv, like a malicious look.

There are oddities.

But he came here to search for clues in the world of cultivating immortals, so he had higher psychological expectations for what might happen.

Xiao Lv calmed down and continued to walk forward.

In the darkness, he suddenly heard painful cries.

"Help……"

"Who can help me……"

The voice was as thin as a gossamer, like a dying person exhausting his last strength, in the darkness, it sounded a little penetrating.

It sounded like an unfamiliar language, but Xiao Lv understood the meaning.

Xiao Lv took a few steps in the direction of the sound, and saw a person lying on the ground.About twelve or thirteen years old, he was a boy, wearing clothes that were completely different from the current ones. They were made of animal skins, with plain styles, bright colors, rough stitches, and totems painted on his face with colored paint.

The boy also heard Xiao Lv's voice, turned his head, and looked at him expectantly.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Li asked him.

The language of the two is completely different, but at this moment they can communicate without barriers.

"I... got seriously ill, and the clansmen said that only gods can save me... so they sent me here, but I was so cold, so painful... so hungry..."

"Where are the gods? You... are you a god?"

Xiao Lv didn't answer, and squatted beside the boy before walking up, first observed his complexion and eyelid tongue coating, then stretched out his hand to check his pulse, pressed several places on his body and asked how the boy felt.

The sandstorm came in a hurry, and Xiao Lu didn't bring any medicine with him at the moment, but this person's illness...

He was in some trouble.

At this moment, a little light in the surrounding darkness flickered like breathing.

Xiao Lv turned his head to look, and found that there were many dense plants around him at some time. Familiar ones and countless weeds were mixed together, and each plant was full of vitality and grew very strong.

The most surprising thing is that he actually found several plants in it that were only recorded in the Baicuopu.

Mi Cao, Hua Hua Teng, An He Qi...

The names of the plants and their corresponding medicinal properties flashed through his mind.

Xiao Lv made a decision. He stepped forward and gently picked the parts he needed, without hurting the roots of these plants.After simple processing, use the surrounding stones and the few tools on your body to grind them into concoction.

Strange to say, these herbs were simply mixed together, and they exuded a rich aroma. The color of the medicine juice was like jasper, and it was not hindered by Xiao Lv's cooking skills at all.

Xiao Lv put the concoction into the boy's mouth, and put his hand on the other's veins to observe his reaction.

In just a short moment, the young man's pulse became stronger.

According to common sense, no matter what kind of magical medicine it is, it would not work so quickly, but now the strange effect of the medicine appeared in front of his eyes, and the medicinal materials on the spectrum were really unusual!

Soon, the young man's face turned rosy, and he opened his eyes wide in surprise and looked at Xiao Lu: "I feel warm in my body, I have strength, and my stomach is not hungry anymore, god! Big brother, you are really a god!"

He looked at Xiao Lu's eyes full of longing: "Great, my illness is cured, and Auntie doesn't have to cry for me anymore!"

The young man rejoiced, but Xiao Lv found that his body was changing from solid to virtual, and the warmth of the human body and the elasticity of the muscles felt by the fingertips were also becoming illusory a little bit.

"I want to go home, I want to eat the jerky made by my mother, I want to ride the big white wolf tamed by my father..." The boy's voice became a little ethereal.

"Beautiful fairy brother, can you bless me?"

"Okay." Xiao Lu stretched out his hand and gently stroked the boy's dry hair, which was a little dry due to years of exposure to wind and sand.

"May you return to your hometown and never be separated from those you love and miss."

"Hmm!" The boy's smile was too bright, and he looked a little silly and innocent.

As soon as the voice fell, the thin phantom dissipated into the darkness, and the surrounding plants with faint light also disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Lv looked at his empty palm, somehow, he always felt that the previous scene was somewhat familiar.

But the memory in my mind is blank.

He packed up his mind and moved on.

After walking in the dark for a long time, a figure appeared in front of him again, this time it was a middle-aged man with E Guanbo belt, and the style of clothes was still different from the present one.

This man seemed to be quite powerful, but his lips were black and blue, his skin was a strange purple, and he would vomit out foul-smelling blood from time to time, obviously he was deeply poisoned.

Same as last time, there are many herbs around the middle-aged people this time, but there are more types, some are good medicines, and some are poisonous.

According to the records in his mind, Xiao Lv picked out the suitable one and detoxified the middle-aged man.

"Thank you Xianchang for your rescue."

"May the immortals grow forever..."

The middle-aged man gave him a deep bow, and then disappeared like the young man just now.

First the disease, then the poison, and what comes next.

Xiao Li continued on.

After walking for a while, a ragged, unkempt, trembling man appeared in front of him.

After investigation, Xiao Lv found that there was a strange force blocking his body, and his life was in danger at any time.

A sea of ​​medicines bloomed around again, and the number was more than every time before. Some of the medicines were still shining with eye-catching brilliance, and they looked like rare and famous medicines that were hard to find.

Xiao Lu only glanced at it, and took out the two most inconspicuous plants, and before he could deal with them, he stuffed them directly into the mouth on the ground.

He quickly reached into his bosom, took out the gold needle he carried with him, and quickly pierced several important points on the man's body, while pouring his true energy into it to guide the strength in the man's body.

As the treatment progressed, he discovered that this person's condition was somewhat similar to that of Mo Xue. If these strange medicines really existed, they might be used to treat Mo Xue.

When doing all this, Xiao Lv was engrossed and didn't notice that the medicine beads hanging by him on the side were shining more dazzlingly than before, and there were even faint patterns on them, and the more intense medicinal fragrance came from the medicine beads The overflow continued to penetrate into Xiao Lv who was doing his best to rescue the injured at the moment.

The treatment was coming to an end, and the wounded's struggle gradually weakened.

Only then did Xiao Lu see the other party's appearance clearly.

It turned out that this was a woman. Her facial features could not be described as beautiful, but she carried a heroic spirit like a sharp knife out of its sheath. In her heyday, she should be a master that cannot be ignored.

The woman watched him without saying a word, she just reached into her bosom, took out a short white knife and handed it to Xiao Lv.

There was no decoration on the dagger, but at the moment of the tentacles, it felt a biting cold.

Seeing Xiao Lu's dagger in hand, the woman closed her eyes safely and disappeared like the two before.

The snow-white dagger did not disappear with her, it was still quietly lying in Xiao Lu's hands, exuding a simple but undeniable sharpness.

I don't know what kind of material this knife is made of. It is not gold or jade. It has thin scratches on it. It should have experienced many fights, but there is no gap in the blade. It is still sharp and can easily cut people's throats.

Xiao Lv continued to walk in the darkness. This time, he walked for a long time and did not see the injured person again, nor did he find Mo Xue.

While he was wondering, footsteps sounded in front of him, very light and steady, and the distance between each step was exactly the same.

This time, a woman in fluttering white clothes appeared, with long eyebrows and fine eyes, a dignified look, and a high bun, like a statue of a goddess enshrined in a temple.

The woman walked up to Xiao Lu and nodded slightly to him: "You have passed the test of asking for immortality, and I will lead you into the immortal journey."

Xiao Lu didn't follow immediately, he looked at the woman in front of him and asked, "Where do you want to welcome me?"

The woman said: "Eternal life in the pure land, escape from the mundane world, enjoy boundless purity, and no longer be confined in a cage."

If a person is obsessed with seeking immortality and medicine, he may have been rejoicing at this moment, and followed the goddess to the bliss early.

Xiao Lv shook his head again: "I want to know where this road will lead to in the end?"

The goddess said: "There is no way ahead, only the boundless sea of ​​suffering."

Xiao Lu: "It still doesn't work, I plan to go and see for myself, where does this road lead to?"

Goddess's expression turned cold, she stared at Xiao Lu, that face that seemed to be smiling seemed to be a little ghostly in the dark room: "I said it was a sea of ​​suffering, why are you still obsessed with it? Turn around quickly , turn back quickly, turn back quickly..."

The Goddess' urging sounded one after another, echoing repeatedly in the river, and the sound became more and more permeating.

As she said that, her face became a little distorted, and she stretched out her hand towards Xiao Lu. The goddess' figure was light and agile, like smoke and mist, not like a real entity.

Seeing this, Xiao Lu knew that this tough battle was unavoidable. He took out the short knife he had obtained from the seriously injured woman before, and rushed towards this weird goddess.

The Goddess's offensive is fierce, with every move, and the speed is fast.When she brushed it with her hand, hundreds of flowers bloomed in the air, and then scattered in all directions, attacking Xiao Lu like sharp knives.

Xiao Li moved quickly to avoid the attack of the petals, but was still brushed off his sleeves, but the seemingly weak petals easily cut off the corner of his clothes.

Before he could catch his breath, a vine appeared out of nowhere from the ground, whipping around like a whip.

This time the distance between the two sides was extremely close, and Xiao Lu couldn't dodge in time, so he could only raise his hand and use the dagger in his hand to block it.

This vine was as thick as an arm, but under the attack of the short knife, it was easily cut into two pieces, as if it was paper.

Xiao Lu's eyes fell on his hand, this dagger was even more powerful than he imagined!

Seeing that his attack was broken by Xiao Lu, the goddess waved her palm again, and three defenses appeared in front of her.

Xiao Lu didn't give in, and slashed down on these sudden vegetation like a sharp knife.

The defenses were broken one after another, and Xiao Lv had already approached the goddess. At this moment, the goddess still had that benevolent smile, like a frozen mask, which no longer gave people a sense of holiness except for being weird.

After chopping off several thorns that were stabbing him, Xiao Lv found the gap and sent the dagger into the goddess' chest.

Originally, he was just trying to see if physical attacks would be useful against this seemingly non-human thing.

But he didn't expect the attack power of this dagger to be better than what he originally thought. As soon as it pierced into the goddess's chest, there was a brilliant light, and Xiao Lu could barely open his eyes.

Everything around is gone,

Xiao Lu only felt a mighty force rushing towards him, from the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head along the meridians to all the limbs and bones, bringing a sense of full strength.

Immortals caress my top and endure longevity.

After the brilliance dissipated, Xiao Lu felt that his body was indescribably light, it was a kind of relaxation that was hard to describe in words, it seemed that the whole body had been washed from the inside out, and every part was completely new.

After opening his eyes, he found that he was still standing in the dry river, the fairies before, the herbs and plants that appeared from time to time, and the snow-colored dagger in his hand were all gone.

Ahead is a huge stone gate.

At this moment, he can clearly see every crack on the stone gate, and feel the grains of sand polished by the years, his senses are unprecedentedly sensitive.

Mo Xue's voice came from behind: "Master is back."

Xiao Lv turned around, the young man still had that warm smile, as if he had seen through everything, and it seemed like it was just an ordinary greeting.

But that's not the point, Xiao Lv's eyes fell on the small paper bag in the opponent's hand, and the round red ball inside could be vaguely seen.

His sugar!His most precious candy!

When did this traitor walk away from him?

Xiao Lu's heart was turbulent, and his mind turned several times, and he had reached the level of cleaning the door in a short time.

Mo Xue spoke at the right time: "Master just disappeared into the river suddenly, and a lot of things fell off his body, and my apprentice has already packed them up for you."

After he finished speaking, he pointed to his side, where the water bladder and the small bag containing simple items that Xiao Lu had carried before were well placed there, and even the sand that was contaminated was wiped clean.

Seeing Xiao Lu's expression soften, Mo Xue got up and walked in front of him, handing over the small paper bag in her hand,

It seems that there is no need to clean the portal.

Xiao Lu reached out to take it in satisfaction, took out the largest and roundest one and threw it into his mouth, then took advantage of Mo Xue's lack of reaction, grabbed one and put it between the young man's lips.

"Good apprentice, I deserve a reward."

"!" Mo Xue was caught off guard and stuffed a mouthful of candy, and the sweet taste melted in his mouth. He covered his mouth and looked helplessly at his master.

But at this moment, Master Cheap is in a good mood, and has turned his head to study the gate.

childish……

Mo Xue sighed softly and followed closely behind.

The master and apprentice stood side by side in front of the stone gate.

This stone gate looks extremely heavy, without a handle or switch, it has stood there for many years, like an eternal barrier, and there is no place on the stone gate where tokens or medicine beads can be inserted.

"How does Master plan to get there?" Mo Xue asked.

Xiao Lv stuffed the sugar back into Mo Xue's hand, raised his hand and gently placed it on the door.

He didn't know how to open the door, but at the moment when he was empowered by white light, there seemed to be a lot of knowledge in his mind that he couldn't express.It seems to be subject to some kind of restriction, which cannot be explained clearly, but is engraved into instinct.

He subconsciously wants to do this.

Running the internal breath, input part of the internal force into Shimen, at first those were like mud cows falling into the sea, without any reaction.

But as more and more internal force was input, some light spots gradually lit up on the stone gate, and more and more light spots formed the symbol shaped like a snowflake.

Finally, with a heavy muffled sound, the door slowly opened.

The place of inheritance guided by the medicine beads was waiting for them behind the door.

The stone door was opened a crack, and what came into my eyes was the blue sky, light and floating clouds, the cool air and a burst of noisy——

"Quack-quack-quack-quack-"

The voice was very down-to-earth, and it sounded inexplicably familiar.

It's not a crane or a white cloud, but a duck?This is not the same as Xiao Lu's imaginary wonderland.
