The person who broke his own bottle was found,but Danyangzi couldn't feel happy at all.With a complicated look on his face,he stared at Zhengkun's mutilated body and then kicked it away forcefully.
"I almost treated you like half my son!But this is how you repay me!"
The cave fell into complete silence,only filled with Danyangzi's rapid breathing.
This situation lasted for about the time it takes to burn two sticks of incense.Then,Danyangzi slowly raised his hand and pointed directly at Li Huowang in the crowd."You,come here and kowtow to the ancestors."
Li Huowang was slightly stunned for a moment.Finally,under everyone's gazes,he walked over,knelt on the ground,and kowtowed to the three sculptures on the wall.
After going through the whole process of the three bows and nine kowtows,Li Huowang,who was now holding three sticks of incense,already understood what the other person was going to do."From now on,you're my last disciple!"
"Yes,Master."Li Huowang was so excited that his heart was almost trembling."This moment has finally come.Don't worry,Scabby-head.I'll definitely help you achieve the so-called'immortality'!"
"Follow me.There's something I need you to do."Danyangzi carefully held the remains of the vase-headed person in his palm.
Following behind Danyangzi,Li Huowang revisited the place and arrived at Danyangzi's residence.
"Swish,swish,swish!"The black lines twining around the stone slab flew rapidly like long snakes and钻进了Danyangzi's sleeve.The so-called heavenly book was completely revealed in front of him."Can you understand what's written on it?"
After pretending to examine it carefully,Li Huowang asked with a puzzled look,"Master,you once told me that the way to become an immortal is to practice both internal and external elixirs.But it's not right.There's no mention of internal elixirs here."
"What?!"Danyangzi's expression kept changing as he looked at the body of the vase-headed person beside him.
"It's absolutely true,"Li Huowang said firmly.
He had no idea what lies the vase-headed person had told him before.If he couldn't keep up with the story,he would surely expose himself.Instead,he might as well just come clean and start over.Moreover,he wasn't lying.This was the truth.The so-called cultivation method to become an immortal that Danyangzi had believed in was actually fabricated by the vase-headed person.It was completely false.Of course,what he was going to make up next wouldn't be true either.
Danyangzi began to think with a changing expression.At first,he didn't want to believe what Li Huowang said.But being a suspicious man,the more he thought about it,the more doubts he found.No wonder he hadn't become an immortal for such a long time.No wonder that girl said the heavenly book would change and couldn't be memorized by heart.So that was what was going on.
"Spit!"Danyangzi spat a mouthful of disgusting green phlegm on the vase-headed person's body.Then he turned to look at Li Huowang."Then tell me,what's written on this heavenly book?"
"Well...It's an internal cultivation method.It says that one must take several kinds of external elixirs and practice during the time when the old year is about to end and the new year hasn't arrived yet.Only in this way can one intercept the spiritual energy from the immortal realm that the Heavenly Dao has injected into the mortal world and absorb it into the body to become an immortal."Li Huowang frowned and made up the story while looking at the stone slab.
"There are several kinds of pills to take.For example,there's a prescription.It requires two taels and four qian of cinnabar,one qian of white money seeds,one tael and two qian of arsenic,and...and one'Master You'.Master,what kind of medicinal material is'Master You'?"
Danyangzi didn't answer but just stared at Li Huowang quietly."Kid,if that little girl could deceive me,you won't do the same,will you?"
Li Huowang replied firmly,"Master,this is the way to become an immortal.How could I deceive you?I also want to become an immortal!"
"Good!"Danyangzi clapped his hands heavily and laughed."Then this time,we masters and disciples will become immortals together."
Li Huowang was stunned for a moment,and then his expression became extremely excited."Is it true,Master?Is it really possible?Thank you,Master!Thank you so much!"
Danyangzi carefully observed his expression.Not finding any abnormality,he nodded understandingly.
"Well,don't worry about the pills for now.First,tell me that cultivation method.After we masters and disciples have practiced it proficiently,we'll refine the external elixirs.There's still some time until the Chinese New Year."
"Yes,Master!"Then Li Huowang made up a so-called internal and external great circulation cultivation method and told it to Danyangzi.As a modern person who had read a lot of novels,it was quite easy for him to make up such a cultivation method on the spot.
Li Huowang stayed in Danyangzi's room for a long time that day and didn't return until late at night.
Carrying a lantern,Li Huowang walked in the tunnel.His happy plan was going smoothly,and his goal would soon be achieved.After being depressed for so long,finally,something good had happened.
When he arrived at the storage room,he found that the rest of the people were indeed still awake.Seeing it was Li Huowang,everyone immediately swarmed around him.Their eyes were filled with excitement.Everyone understood what had happened that day meant.Li Huowang had deliberately provided them with information before.
"Don't worry.Wait for my good news.You'll be able to go home soon."
As soon as Li Huowang said this,almost everyone was on the verge of crying with excitement.They could finally go home.
"Senior Brother Li,you're my reborn parent!You're the living Bodhisattva!"A child with polio,who had difficulty moving his hands and feet,excitedly knelt on the ground and was about to kowtow to Li Huowang.
He seemed to set an example,and the others followed suit one after another.
After Li Huowang persuaded them for a while,he finally stopped this farce."If it weren't for you all at noon today,I would have been finished.Shouldn't I kowtow to you then?"
When they got up from the ground,they all beamed with joy,as happy as if it were the Chinese New Year.
Looking at these smiling faces in front of him,Li Huowang felt a warm feeling in his heart.In this strange world,these strange-looking guys were his companions.
"Senior Brother Li,did I act well?That Scabby-head was like a fool and was completely deceived by me,"Gouwa slapped his thin chest and grinned,asking for credit from Li Huowang.
"Indeed,you acted very well.If you hadn't done that,Danyangzi wouldn't have given up so easily."
While the others were chattering around Li Huowang,someone was worried about something else.
"Senior Brother Li,are you okay?Did he really not make things difficult for you?"Bai Lingmiao walked over and asked with a worried look.
Hearing this,Li Huowang recalled what Danyangzi had said about becoming immortals together.He looked at the young girl in front of him and gave a faint smile.
"Now he even asks me to translate the content on the heavenly book.What could happen to me?Now,if I tell him to eat shit,he'll have to do it.Ha-ha."
After chatting with each other for a while,Li Huowang straightened his expression."The first day of the lunar new year is almost over.Those'Master Yous'will soon come back from the market.Let's make it brief.There's still something I need your help with.Did your grandfather tell you any other stories?"
He hadn't fully fabricated the prescription for the immortality pills on the heavenly book.To make sure Danyangzi was completely doomed,he had to add several heavy-weight medicinal ingredients to it.Simple cinnabar,this mercury ore,could no longer satisfy him.He wanted to put other things in it,the weirder the better.
He hadn't forgotten Danyangzi's strength.
