The Legend of the Elixir of Immortality

In the old town far from the urban planning of Quan City, there were few people coming originally, and most of them were old houses. However, during this period, several new shops have been opened one after another. At first, it was a flower shop, then a bookstore, and now, after several days of hard work, a painting studio has been opened.

The owner of the painting studio is a very young woman.

She often uses beautiful red and gloomy and overbearing black in her paintings. The contrast and interweaving of the two colors create a taste that is either stunning or depressing, and the themes are often similar.

It is black, spreading from the human world to the sky like a long river, along the river The blooming red sea of ​​flowers, and the back of a man wearing black armor.

There is a sad and vicissitudes of life in her paintings.

This is a very capable painter.

Even the old people who just pass by can see this, and then they feel it is a pity. It is a pity that such a store is opened in the old city. I am afraid that it will not attract many students. But no matter what people think, it does not affect the heroic woman who is always used to wearing a red skirt and tying a high ponytail.

She often just stared at the man in the painting and could sit for a whole day.

And this originally remote old town gradually became popular.

......

The sword in Wei Yuan's hand fell down, and then stopped steadily. He used the Eight-sided Han Sword to perform the Xuanyuan Sword Technique, and then sheathed the sword. The aura on his body was stable enough. After obtaining the true spirit of the Three Kingdoms, he had the practice of Taiping Dao, and the practice of Crouching Tiger Technique was also passively improved.

After that, he used the merits gained by killing the evil cultivators of Taiping Dao to exchange for the third level of Crouching Tiger Technique.

At present, he has a lot of practice, Crouching Tiger Technique strengthens the blood and physique, and Taiping Dao magic is used as an auxiliary before the battle. The Zhengyi Sect's altar can be prepared in advance to occupy the advantage of the venue, and the method of internal cultivation is to use Zhengyi to assist Taiping, and Crouching Tiger Technique is another system, which does not interfere with each other.

This level of Crouching Tiger Art has a qualitative breakthrough compared to the first level used for foundation building and the second level for initial use of cultivation, in order to deal with the Daozang's "one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things". Whether it is strength, speed, or endurance, it gradually begins to exceed the scope of humans.

The Dao is flowing, and it can even cut out sword energy and use fist energy.

Running like a flying beast.

Except for the brain, throat, and heart, many fatal injuries to ordinary people can only be regarded as slightly serious injuries for martial arts monks.

Martial arts monks tend to cultivate internally, unlike the Taoist sects who have various magic spells and magical powers. They use one qi to mix the primordial energy and purely use qi to kill the enemy and nourish themselves.

The cultivation level is steadily improving.

Correspondingly, Wei Yuan's appetite has been opened during this period, and he needs to get enough nutrition from food.

This is also an external sign that martial arts monks will appear at this stage.

Fortunately, in modern society, there is no shortage of food, and you can occasionally wear a mask and transform yourself into the enemy of the buffet owner. Then, with the remaining merits, you can exchange medicines from the Han Dynasty arsenal to assist in your practice, and your Taoism will rise steadily.

But after Wei Yuan's strength increased again, this eight-sided Han sword that he used to use was a little lighter. Wei Yuan looked through the sword materials collected in the Han Dynasty arsenal and the "Ancient and Modern Sword Records" written by people from the Southern Dynasty, thinking about whether to exchange some materials and ask a monk who is good at casting to further recast this eight-sided Han sword.

Unfortunately, it is still necessary to exchange for elixirs. After the exchange, there are not many merits left.

Wei Yuan calculated his merits and his appetite, so he had to put away the files exchanged from the Han Dynasty arsenal, took out his mobile phone, and easily searched for Wuzhiqi's account. Then, with a small account, using the stranger recommendation function, he silently recommended the analysis of the Civilization series of games and the appreciation of many game masterpieces to Wuzhiqi.

This is a daily task.

Help Wuzhiqi integrate into modern society as soon as possible.

And let Wuzhiqi not be too bored and too depressed under the seal.

Wei Yuan muttered to himself in his heart, put away his mobile phone, changed into a simple and loose clothes, and was about to go out to buy some vegetables when he saw a familiar figure supporting another person and hurried over.

It was Su Yuer, who was wearing jeans, sneakers, and a white top. She was wearing magic glasses and a simple dress to cover her true appearance. She supported another beautiful lady who looked much more fashionable. When she saw Wei Yuan, her eyes lit up and she said anxiously:

"Master Wei, help me."

Wei Yuan sensed something wrong from the woman she supported and opened the door.

Su Yuer, who was suspected to be a nine-tailed fox in Qingqiu, was not good at strength.

But as a demon, the weight of a mortal was not a problem at all.

She brought the woman into the museum and let her lie on the sofa in the reception area of ​​the museum. She was slightly relieved. The Shang King Bronze Jue was slightly excited. Wei Yuan gave it a look to scare it, and then looked at Su Yuer and said, "What happened?"

Su Yuer whispered, "This is my roommate. She became like this after returning from the hospital. I felt it... She seemed to be cursed. I don't know anyone else who can handle this matter."

Wei Yuan pondered for a moment and nodded, "Let's remove the curse from her first."

He said, "It's a coincidence."

"If you had come a month earlier, I might not have been able to solve it and could only notify the action team."

He asked Su Yuer to help the woman lie flat, and then asked other guys in the museum to get a porcelain bowl. The water ghost quickly handed a bowl to Wei Yuan. Wei Yuan took a look at the black pottery bowl and casually ordered, "Get another bowl of water."

"Water?"

The water ghost was stunned, and then suddenly realized.

Taking the empty bowl, he opened his mouth, and when he handed it to Wei Yuan, it was full of water.

Wei Yuan took the pulse of the woman and was about to cast a spell, but his movements paused slightly. He looked at the serious-looking water ghost and hesitated, "Where did you get this water?" The latter grinned, water dripping from his body, scratched his head, and said shyly:

"I saw some water escape in the comics over at Sakurajima, from the mouth..."

Wei Yuan had no expression on his face, turned his head and looked at the Qi Family Army soldier soul and said:

"Fork it out."

......

After a while, the water ghost was forked and dragged away by the Qi Family Army soldier soul and the poisoned painter.

With a bowl of water in his hand, Wei Yuan immediately wrote a yellow talisman, shook his hand to turn it into ash and mixed it into the water. In addition to Taoism, the Taiping Dao monks are more proficient in medical skills. They use talisman water to adjust the balance of yin and yang in the human body, expel external evil, and then combine it with herbal medicine for treatment.

The woman in front of him was hit by something similar to an evil spell.

The Taiping Dao Talisman Water has enough effect.

Wei Yuan raised his hand and touched the woman's throat, asking her to open her mouth. Then, he used the water control method to turn the Talisman Water into a line of water and flew into her mouth. With a cough, the woman's brows were no longer frowned, and slowly relaxed. The breath on her body gradually returned to stability. Wei Yuan put down the bowl in his hand, touched the woman's eyebrows with his fingers, and said:

"It should be fine."

Turning to look at Su Yu'er:

"Tell me about the situation in detail..."

Su Yu'er's expression eased, pondered for a while, and began to explain.

......

This girl who was dressed fashionably and beautifully was called Qi Xiangxue.

She was one of the roommates of Su Yu'er, Su Yan'er and Hu Mei. She had a carefree personality and was always outgoing.

Therefore, she was the best friend of the three of them during this period of time.

Qi Xiangxue was not feeling well yesterday, so she went to a large hospital to see a doctor and had blood drawn for tests. She felt even worse after coming back, so she did not go to class today. Su Yuer did not like today's professional class, and was worried about her friend, so she skipped class and stayed with her in the dormitory.

Not long ago, Qi Xiangxue suddenly fainted when she went to get some water.

And she exuded a spell-like aura.

Su Yuer realized something was wrong, and the fox clan's magic was not good at breaking this kind of means. In a hurry, she thought of Wei Yuan, so she made a sleight of hand and hurried to the museum by controlling the evil wind.

Wei Yuan looked at Qi Xiangxue who had calmed down and said:

"...Is it a curse?"

He took out a needle and stabbed it into Qi Xiangxue's fingertips, blood oozed out, and the remaining talisman water was used to catch the blood. The blood that should have spread out was extremely stagnant and condensed, and remained in its original state in the water without mixing. Wei Yuan looked at Su Yuer who lowered her head and sighed:

"Rather than a curse, it's better to say it's a medicine."

"The fox tribe is good at bewitching people, and ordinary curses can't hide from you."

"The blood is stagnant, although it is very thin, but this is the blood of the witch. Was it discovered when the blood was drawn for testing? Why don't you want to tell the truth?"

Wei Yuan paused, thinking of Su Yuer's violent reaction to the Shang King's bronze jue last time, and he seemed to be thinking about something. Su Yuer was silent for a moment, then said, "I... I remember this kind of breath in my dream."

She subconsciously reached out and grasped the bronze dagger with the black bird pattern, whispering softly:

"This is Wu Xian's medicine."

"Wu Xian?"

Wei Yuan frowned, and Shang Wang Bronze Jue couldn't help but exclaimed. Since he took the initiative to mention the past dream, Su Yuer no longer concealed it. She gently placed the dagger on the table and said:

"Yes, Wu Xian's medicine."

"Since I was conscious, I often dreamed, and I saw many things in my dreams. Wu Xian, he is the son of Shang Wang Tai Wu. Minister, he made the Shang Dynasty revived after seven generations. He was the most powerful witch doctor of that era, but he was not only a doctor, but also a god. His medicine could save people and kill people. "

"But he and his medicine have not appeared since the Zhou Dynasty."

"How could he appear in this era?"

She was puzzled. Seeing Wei Yuan frowning, Wei Yuan said, "If you are talking about Wu Xian."

He said, "Then I have another explanation."

......

Wu Xian, this is a name with enough meaning and ancient enough.

In the original legend, he was a messenger connecting the Emperor of Heaven and the human world, a divine witch.

He came to the human world with the will of the gods to educate the people.

When he was Emperor Xuanyuan, he was a minister of the Yellow Emperor. He predicted the victory or defeat of the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You, and created the divination method of "筮". He predicted good and bad luck for the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor. In the era of Emperor Yao, Yao also had a minister named Wu Xian.

With Hong Shu as Yao's doctor, he could wish for people's happiness, cure people's diseases, wish for trees to wither, and wish for birds to fall.

In the era of Emperor Shun, there was another person named Wu Xian.

This time he became Emperor Shun's general and musician.

It is also the source of the legend of Wu Gorge, one of the Three Gorges since ancient times.

Wei Yuan told this story calmly, without telling the story, but just telling what people did in different eras, and finally said: "Since Shennong and Emperor Xuanyuan, all the way to Emperor Shun, there was Wu Xian as a minister, and when the Shang Dynasty was revived, there was Wu Xian again, with the same name."

"Miss Su, don't you have any ideas?"

Su Yu'er had an absurd idea in her heart, but she subconsciously didn't want to believe it, and said:

"Maybe it's just the same name."

Wei Yuan replied: "I remember it was written in the Shanhaijing Dahuang Nanjing, 'There is Wushan, there are yellow birds in the west, imperial medicine, and eight houses,' which is the yellow bird as the guardian of Wushan medicine, that It is the elixir of immortality, at least there is a legend that there is the elixir of immortality there. "

"If you don't believe it, you can recall what was the name of Wu Xian's son after his death?"

Su Yu'er's pupils shrank slightly, and she murmured: "Wu Xian..."

Wei Yuan laughed and said:

"I'm afraid it's a deliberate obfuscation. They don't want the two Wu Xians to be passed down, so they use a trick to deceive people."

Su Yu'er looked at her roommate and said:

"Even if it is related to the ancient Wu Xian country, why would you use drugs to harm people..."

Wei Yuan turned his head and looked at Su Yu'er. After a long silence, he raised his lips slightly and said softly:

"Miss Su, you don't think, Wushan's immortality medicine, is it free of charge? There are a few immortality medicines in the world. The immortal flower of Kunlun Mountain is nurtured by the pure air of the sky. The immortality medicine of the fairy mountain overseas is also a rumor. Xu Fu, the first alchemist in the Qin Dynasty, traveled across the ocean and may not have gained anything in his life. "

"The only thing left is Wushan."

"As for why we have to attack people with witch blood."

"The Great Wilderness West Classic records that there is a sacred mountain, Wuxian, Wuji, Wuyu, Wupeng, Wugu, Wuzhen, Wuli, Wudi, Wuxie, Wuluo, ten witches have risen and fallen since then, and hundreds of medicines are here. In Wuxian country, there are a group of witches, so why is there only Wuxian left in later generations?"

" Do you want to guess what this medicine is made of? "

Su Yu'er looked stagnant, and said: "But in the Great Wilderness Southern Classic, isn't there an immortal country?"

Wei Yuan said: "Oh, the immortal country, that's just that people in that country will not grow old and die, and they will age and die quickly after leaving, so it's called the immortal country, not the immortal people, so the people in that country are unwilling to come out, but unfortunately, it was destroyed in the end, which shows that immortality is not a good thing."

Su Yu'er's face showed a trace of complexity, and said: "Immortality, is it also a curse..."

Wei Yuan saw her confused and complicated face, and smiled gently: "No. "

Su Yu'er looked up blankly.

Wei Yuan answered seriously:

"Because they will not die, social resources, learning resources, and living resources are always in the hands of the minority. Ordinary people have no chance to make a breakthrough. Social classes are extremely rigid, the gap between the rich and the poor is extremely aggravated, and the main and secondary contradictions are constantly deepening. Because they will not die, oppression has no end, which eventually leads to the outbreak of contradictions."

"Student Su Yuer, you obviously failed the required freshman sociology course."

Su Yuer: "..."

Wei Yuan thought for a while, stood up and put on his coat, tied the yellow scarf on his arm, and said:

"Whether someone got the record of Wu Xian's immortality medicine, or someone came down from Wushan, we must deal with it... I guess it should be the first one, that the record of Wu Xian's medicine has been spread."

"But now even if the spiritual energy is revived, the witch blood of those descendants of the Wu clan is extremely thin. If someone really got Wu Xian's relics and wanted to refine the immortality medicine, I'm afraid there will be many victims."

"I'll tell the Tianshi Mansion about this matter. Where is the hospital you mentioned? I'll go and see..."

If it can be handled, it will be handled. If it can't be handled, confirm the target first.

This is the kind of trouble that will spread rapidly. Once it breaks out, it will affect many people.

Su Yuer didn't expect the other party to be so proactive in participating in this matter, and his understanding of ancient things was beyond her expectations, especially the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which he seemed to be able to pick up easily. After hesitating for a while, he still said the name of the hospital and asked again: "... Who are you..."

Wei Yuan looked at the nine-tailed fox who was obviously carrying some secrets, and said in surprise:

"Didn't Wu Nujiao tell you?"

Su Yuer said frankly: "No, but I guessed it a little bit."

Wei Yuan pondered for a while and said: "Then let me ask you a question."

"Su Yuer, is it Su Daji?"

Su Yuer shook her head decisively.

Wei Yuan smiled, his eyes passed through the window, and fell on the girl who was holding tea, watching Yu Ji painting, and was eager to try, and said: "Have you ever told Jue?" Su Yuer whispered: "The ancestors said that some things need you to decide to say them yourself."

Su Yuer looked at the young museum owner and said:

"Why are you so familiar with Wu Xian's medicine?"

Shang Wang Bronze Jue also paid close attention to this matter.

Wei Yuan sorted out his thoughts and those distant memories, and replied:

"It's actually very simple. From the time of Huangdi and Yandi to the end of Shang, there were always Wu Xian's figures, but in these long years, only in the era of King Yu and Xia, there was no such mysterious person, no mysterious country, until the Shang King passed on for seven generations, and then he reappeared in the world."

Su Yuer was stunned. She had already guessed the era to some extent. Then she realized something and her eyes widened.

The young museum owner picked up the sword, put it on his back, smiled and said:

"So...they were..."

"We chased them to the mountain."

"It seems that due to their past achievements, we didn't do anything too drastic. We just interrupted the connection between Wushan and the human world. We didn't expect them to come down the mountain twice."

Wei Yuan paused and said, "It's reasonable for me to go and 'visit' the old friends."

"I just don't know if they welcome us."
