Gu Shakong quietly closed the door of the secret room, supported his tired body, and backed out together with the other two junior brothers and sisters.
This alchemy has finally reached the final step, and the three of them are no longer needed. As long as the four medical immortals can persist until dawn, the antidote can be successfully refined.
Gu Shakong looked at the sky and found that the eastern sky was dark and bright, with a faint glow rising. Thinking about it, it would only be an hour or two at most until dawn.
He turned around and looked at Luo Bingning and Wan Daoquan, and said: "Junior brother and sister, you have worked hard these two days. When daybreak, the pill demon will come with everyone at any time. You should take this time to meditate. Rest and restore your spiritual energy and body to the best. Fortunately, when Dan Mo and the others come, you can have the energy to deal with it. In these last two hours, senior brother, I will stay on the outside to prevent the spirits from the Demon Hades Palace from taking the opportunity to attack. .”
Wan Daoquan said: "Senior brother said it in time. The more it is at the last moment, the more we cannot relax our vigilance!" Then the topic changed: "It's just senior brother and senior sister, the spiritual energy you just consumed in it is too much, more than me." We need more rest. In these last few hours, it’s up to me, my junior brother, to guard them.”
Gu Shakong shook his head, still wanting to reject Wan Daoquan's kindness, but his body had already collapsed and he suddenly shook and almost fell down.
Luo Bingning quickly supported him and said: "Senior Brother, I don't think you should persist. Today, I will ask Junior Brother Wan to guard for an hour and three hours. You and I should work hard to restore our spiritual energy, just in case Master and the others are still alive." Before the antidote could be refined, the Alchemy Demon broke in with his men, so we might as well deal with it for a while to buy some time."
"Hey, let's follow what Junior Sister Luo said." Gu Shakong nodded, and then ordered: "Junior Brother Wan, the dense forest outside the valley will be left to you for the time being. Junior Sister Luo, just guard the entrance to the valley. . And I will stay here with Master, what do you think?"
Luo Bingning and Wan Daoquan said at the same time: "It all depends on senior brother."
After all instructions were in place, the two of them each took some disciples from the valley and rushed to the places they needed to guard. Gusha was left alone, sitting on the ground and guarding the outside of the secret room.
The morning wind howls, the leaves dance and their shadows sway.
The faint morning glow passed through the dense branches and leaves, shining on a tall and thin figure. I saw this person standing there, looking southward, as if waiting for someone.
Not long after, a figure picked up the fallen leaves on the ground, quietly came closer, and stopped in front of this person.
"Brother Wan, how is the situation inside?" The man glanced behind him and saw that there was no one else, then he asked.
The man smiled and replied: "Don't worry, Cave Master Sun, I have arranged everything inside. It's just that with the efforts of Master and others, the antidote can be successfully refined in an hour or two at most."
A ray of morning glow happened to pass through the shade of the trees and hit this person's face. If you look closely, you will see that it is the third disciple of the Medical Immortal, Wan Dao Quan!
It turns out that the drunkard's guess and worry were indeed correct. Wan Dao Quanzhen secretly surrendered to the Alchemy Demon, cooperated with him inside and outside, and wanted to harm his master!
Nasun Cave Master is one of the eighty-one cave masters in nearby towns who specifically guard this place. He played a huge role in instigating Wan Daoquan's rebellion this time. Therefore, it all fell on him to communicate with him and deliver news.
"Is it going to be fine so soon? It seems that we have to hurry up." After Cave Master Sun finished speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave, reporting the situation here to Dan Mo and others.
Wan Daoquan suddenly gave a warning: "Well... we agreed earlier. I went behind the back of my master and senior brothers and sisters this time to help Uncle Dan win the competition, all in order to prevent me, Yaowang Valley, from growing too much." Disaster. When you come in, you must not harm the disciples in the valley!"
Cave Master Sun laughed and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, we in Yaoming Palace naturally keep our word and will not harm a disciple of Medicine King Valley."
But after Cave Master Sun finished speaking and turned around to leave, his eyes were full of contempt: "Hmph, you talk so much about benevolence, justice and morality, but in your heart, don't you still betray your master and betray your friends for the sake of the position of the master of the Medicine King Valley?"
It's just that people have gone too far, and Wan Dao can no longer hear these words.
Wan Daoquan looked at the disappearing figure of Cave Master Sun and stood there in a daze, not knowing what serious consequences he would have if he did so. It's just that things have come to this, and it is already impossible to regret it.
After saying something in a low voice, he turned around and disappeared into the dense forest.
At the entrance of the valley, seven or eight disciples from Yaowang Valley were patrolling back and forth. When they saw Wan Daoquan suddenly walking out of the woods, they all greeted him.
Wan Daoquan pretended to be calm and returned the gift, while walking towards the wooden house where Luo Bingning was meditating and resting.
"Senior sister, how is your spiritual energy recovery going?" Wan Daoquan pushed the door open and closed it tightly.
"Junior Brother Wan, if you are not on guard outside, why are you here?" Luo Bing condensed his skills and looked at Wan Daoquan in confusion.
"Oh, I personally took people to patrol the perimeter just now, and found nothing abnormal. No, I was worried about Senior Sister Luo's health, so I wanted to come and see you first."
Wan Daoquan said, picking up the teapot on the table and filling her with a cup of tea. With just a flick of his wrist, some colorless and odorless powder came out from his sleeve and melted into the tea.
"Hey, it seems that the alchemy demon has kept its promise and will not come with everyone until the tenth day. But by then, the master can successfully refine the antidote, break the first poison, and win the competition. .”
Luo Bingning meditated for more than an hour and was indeed thirsty. She took the tea without any doubt and drank it in one gulp.
Wan Daoquan watched Luo Bingning drink the tea in one gulp, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He then pulled a chair over and sat next to Luo Bingning.
"Senior Sister Luo, tell me...for the past twenty years, Master and the Alchemy Demon have been fighting each other endlessly. Apart from clinging to that medical book, what else can they get? Instead, countless villagers died because of this. "
When Luo Bingning heard this, she frowned and said, "Junior Brother Wan, what do you mean by this!"
"It doesn't mean anything." Wan Daoquan said leisurely: "Junior brother, I just think that instead of continuing to fight like this, it would be better to fulfill the Dan Demon's wish and give him the medical skills..."
As soon as Wan Daoquan said this, Luo Bing angrily yelled: "Wan Daoquan, you should know exactly what kind of person that Dan Demon is! In addition, he has surrendered to the Yaowen Palace a long time ago and is colluding with the North Pluto King. If he really gets the upper and lower medical books, he will definitely harm all living beings in the Nine Provinces. When that happens, no one can cure him!"
Luo Binning's words were precise, but Wan Daoquan seemed to be indifferent. A strange look suddenly appeared in his heart, and he faintly noticed something.
His eyes suddenly shrank, and he secretly condensed his spiritual energy into his palms. He stared at Wan Daoquan with burning eyes and asked word for word: "Wan Daoquan, have you... betrayed the master and secretly taken refuge in Dan?" Can demons and monsters be in the underworld?"
Wan Daoquan laughed and said: "Senior Sister Luo, the words betrayal and surrender are a bit harsh! Daoquan just couldn't bear to see countless villagers losing their lives in vain because of the master's selfish thoughts. Besides, Daoquan couldn't bear to watch. Well, no matter what, Alchemy is our master's brother. It's just that he has been reading the first half of the medical book all these years, and that's why he always opposes our Medicine King Valley. Once he gets the medical book and fulfills his wish, he will naturally not be here. Those who make things difficult for us everywhere..."
Having said this, Luo Bingning still doesn't understand what happened? But she never expected that the master and his fellow disciples had always been kind to him, so why would they suddenly betray the master and Yaowang Valley?
At the moment, he didn't care to delve into the reasons. Instead, he calmed down and wanted to use his true emotions to convert him, so that he could be omnipotent and find his way back.
"Junior Brother Wan, you have been adopted by Master since you were a child. He has always treated you well for decades. Senior Sister, I think you must have been deceived by the Alchemy Demon this time. If you can wake up at this moment, Master and Senior Brother and Senior Sister , I will definitely not hold you responsible for betraying Yaowang Valley...!"
"Treat me well, treat me well! Hahaha~~~!" Wan Daoquan suddenly looked ferocious, looked up to the sky and smiled: "If Master really treated me well, he wouldn't have only taught me 30% to 40% of the knowledge. My medical skills have improved! If Master really treated me well, he wouldn’t have refused my request again and again! If Master had really treated me well, he wouldn’t have chosen Gu Shakong as the candidate for the master of the valley, and cut off my thoughts. Think about it!”
"Senior Sister, do you still feel that Master really treats me well?" Wan Daoquan's expression was agitated, and tears were flowing from his eyes. It was obvious that he had poured out all the grievances he had suffered for so many years.
The more Luo Bingning listened, the more frightened she became, knowing that Wan Daoquan was already troubled by inner demons at this moment and fell into madness.
Secretly, Qi Luck Dantian wanted to take advantage of Wan Daoquan's madness to cure him. Who would have thought that the entire inner elixir and meridians were not functioning smoothly.
"You! What medicine did you just give me!" Luo Bingning suddenly realized that Wan Daoquan must have secretly added poison while pouring himself tea.
"Senior Sister, it's too late to realize it now, isn't it?" Wan Daoquan stretched out his hand to touch his tears, came in front of Luo Binning, and sneered: "But, Senior Sister, don't worry, I, Wan Daoquan, I only care about Master’s medical skills and his position as the Master of Medicine King Valley, but I don’t dare to be interested in the lives of other disciples. Once these things are over, I will let Senior Sister go, hahaha~~~hahaha~~~!”
At the same time, countless black shadows suddenly appeared outside the window, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Medicine King Valley disciples and knocking them all unconscious.
"Wan Daoquan! You...you...you are so brave! Let me go quickly, let me go quickly!"
Wan Dao Quanlang laughed, ignored Luo Binning's scolding, opened the door and walked out.
Outside the secret room, Gu Shakong finally restored the spiritual energy in his body to the fullest after four days of working his mind. After opening his eyes and scanning the surroundings, he muttered a few words and stood up suddenly.
At this moment, there was a strange feeling in the entire Medicine King Valley. It was extremely empty and quiet, as if there was no one there.
Gu Shakong intuitively sensed that something was wrong. He stretched out his hand to summon the Cracked Immortal Pestle. He held it upside down in his hand and stared coldly at the end of the mountain road. Just after finishing all this, I saw several figures appearing in front of me against the morning glow on the horizon.
"Junior Brother Wan?" The first thing that caught his eye was his junior brother Wan Daoquan, but when he called out in confusion, the figures of the Pill Demon, the Withered Bone Demon Lord, the Three Monsters of the Demon Cave, and others followed closely. Appeared in front of me.
"Hahaha, nephew Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay?" Dan Mo looked at Gu Shakong, whose face suddenly changed, and showed an amiable smile.
Seeing this look, how could Gusha Kong still not know what was going on? But he never imagined that the spy who had been hiding in the Medicine King Valley would be Wan Daoquan, the third disciple of the Medical Immortal.
Looking at the situation in front of them, Luo Bingning and the other disciples may all be in danger.
Gu Shakong calmed himself down and laughed loudly: "Thank you, Dan Mo, for caring about me. Gu Shakong has been doing well! I just don't know... how are the other disciples of my Medicine King Valley doing now?"
Before Alchemy Demon could answer, Wan Daoquan took the first step and persuaded harmoniously: "Senior brother, don't worry, Senior Sister Luo and all the junior brothers and sisters are all safe and sound. At this moment, they are staying in a safe place to rest. As long as you can let me Go ahead and ask Master to come out and have a good chat with Uncle Dan. I guarantee that Senior Sister Luo and the others will not be in the slightest danger."
