Eight in the morning.
The sun is shining high, the spring is warm, and the sun shines brightly into the room through the doors and windows.
Bai Changsheng opened his eyes lazily and was startled. He saw a pair of red eyes staring at him in front of the bed. He quickly wrapped the vital parts of his body with a quilt and said: "You... you didn't sleep all night? "
Wang Cheng asked in a hoarse voice: "When is the thirty-fourth year of Yingyuan?"
Bai Changshang said: "Yingyuan is the reign name of King Ling. The thirty-fourth year of Yingyuan is the thirty-fourth year of King Ling. It's been almost fifteen years ago. Why do you ask this?"
"Did anything big happen in Kyoto in the 34th year of the Yuan Dynasty?" Wang Cheng asked again.
Bai Changsheng's face was rare and solemn, and he nodded: "That's right! When I was young, I passed by Kyoto and witnessed a shocking murder. On a full moon night, the rivers were bleeding and the mountains and rivers were pale. It was an unprecedented event in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty. disaster!"
On August 15th, the five kingdoms of Mongolia, Zheng, and Lu in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xia Kingdom in the northwest, and Gaoshan Kingdom in the southwest suddenly attacked the Zhou Dynasty in a row, and once their troops came to the city of Kyoto.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Kyoto resisted to the death and finally blocked the armies of the five countries, allowing Kyoto to be saved.
However, that night, all the masters from the five countries came out and bloodbathed the palace. Almost all the Ling King's sons were killed, and even the seventeenth prince who was still in his infancy did not escape.
Bai Changsheng said: "Only the fourth prince Zhou Zhaowu, who is the current King of Zhou, and the fourteenth prince Zhou Zhaoguang who led the army escaped from this bloody incident. Otherwise, with the former prince here, Zhou Zhaowu would have no chance to inherit the throne. "
"Why did the five kingdoms suddenly attack Zhou in succession?" Wang Cheng asked.
Bai Changcheng said: "You have asked the right person. People in the world have always thought that the five kingdoms attacked the Zhou Dynasty in succession because of border issues. Humph! Mengwu and Lu State, Zheng State, Zheng State and Xia State, Xia State and Gaoshan State, between each other There are so many crossroads, which one has no border problems? Why are they all looking for trouble in Dazhou?
His eyes became deep and he said: "Actually, it's for a person, or you can say it's for a thing!"
"What?" Wang Cheng asked hurriedly.
Bai Changzhang explained in detail: "King Ling has great ambitions and is committed to unifying the world. However, at that time, the surrounding countries were already strong, and the Great Zhou Dynasty had lost thousands of miles of fertile land in the north, and wanted to destroy other countries with the power of one country. Easier said than done? So King Ling came up with an ingenious idea and secretly collected the secret recipe for elixirs to train a large number of warriors. He also secretly ordered the imperial physician Zhang Jishi to develop the secret recipe for elixirs, in an attempt to use martial arts masters to go to various countries to behead people."
Wang Cheng suddenly took over the words and said: "Zhang Jishi spent twenty years collecting and developing hundreds of secret recipes for elixirs. If an ordinary Jianghu power has ten secret recipes, it is already a first-rate power. Hundreds of secret recipes It’s enough to cause the whole world to tremble!”
Bai Changsheng nodded and said, "That's right! King Ling thought that what he did was very secretive, but there is no airtight wall in the world. The Five Kingdoms Company's attack on Zhou was actually for Zhang Jishi and the secret recipes in his hand!"
He suddenly looked at Wang Cheng in surprise and said, "How do you know such details?"
Wang Cheng sighed. He knew that these of course came from the hidden contents of the "On Injury and Injury". The "On Injury and Injury" was actually written by Zhang Jishi, the imperial physician. It not only hid part of the secret recipe, but also Zhang Jishi's self-narration.
Zhang Jishi was a genius. He had mastered the medical works handed down by his ancestors at the age of fifteen. He entered the "Imperial Medical Bureau" at the age of eighteen and became an imperial physician at the age of twenty-five. At the age of thirty, King Ling personally awarded him the title of "Medical Master". Noisy for a while.
Then, under the secret order of King Ling, he participated in the "Supreme Project" with the intention of creating another martial arts supreme for the Great Zhou Dynasty, so as to subdue all countries and unify the world.
What happened next was just like what Bai Changshang said. For these secret elixirs to improve warriors' cultivation, the Five Kingdoms attacked Zhou Dynasty. On a full moon night, Kyoto was filled with blood.
"What happened to the Zhang family?" Wang Cheng asked.
Bai Changsheng sighed: "The imperial doctor ordered Zhang Jishi's family to be exterminated. One hundred and fifty-six members of his family, including the maids and servants, were killed. Zhang Jishi himself was forced to commit suicide."
If they were all destroyed, I'm afraid it wouldn't happen. Wang Cheng knew that his master, Doctor Zhang, must be from the Zhang family, otherwise he wouldn't have such an important thing in his hands.
He thought about his master, Doctor Zhang, being arrested and the massacre in Mixi Town. Now he thought that it was all because of those secret elixir recipes.
For these secret recipes, the five kingdoms did not hesitate to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Zhou. Now, for these reasons, killing thousands of people is nothing more than a big witch.
Ninghou Zhou Zhaoguang would not let anyone know about this, and he did not dare to let anyone know about it because it would involve too much.
Unfortunately, there are always some uncertain factors in the world. Zhou Zhaoguang never expected that there were still people alive in Mixi Town, and he even investigated the matter thoroughly!
Bai Changsheng suddenly stared at Wang Cheng as if he had seen a ghost and said: "I remembered that thousands of people in your town were wiped out. When Master Dao and Xiangrui were collecting the bodies, we didn't find the body of your master. His surname was Zhang, and He's a doctor, he couldn't be Zhang Jishi, right? Was Mixi Town massacred because of him?"
Wang Cheng took out "Theory of Injury and Injury" and handed it to Bai Zhongcheng, saying: "Those secret recipes are in this medical book!"
Bai Chenggong looked at the thick medical book in front of him, feeling like he was dreaming. Even mountains of gold and silver were not as valuable as the thing in front of him. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is the most precious treasure in the world.
"Are you going to give it to me?"
He couldn't believe it. When Wang Cheng nodded, he took it, but then put it back into Wang Cheng's hand, shook his head and said, "No! I can't have this!"
Wang Cheng was relieved when he saw this, so he solemnly put the medical book into his hand and said: "Although this thing is a treasure, it is also a powder keg. If you put it in my hand, I might cause some trouble." Taoist Priest He is a Taoist, and no one is more suitable to keep this thing than the Taoist Master!"
He made this decision after thinking again and again. He couldn't keep the medical book with him because he wanted to save his master. It's not a good idea to hide it. If something happens to him, this most precious treasure in the world may never see the light of day again, and Zhang Jishi's life's hard work will be in vain.
Of course, he kept a backup copy, and all the information in the medical books was saved on his mobile phone. No one in the world can open the phone except himself.
Bai Chenggang put away the medical book and said seriously: "Don't worry! If you want to take it back one day, you can always go to Baiyun Temple to find Pindao!"
He stared at Wang Cheng again and said, "Boy, you gave such a big gift to a poor man. He cannot be stingy." He took out a sign from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Cheng's hand.
The sign is made of mahogany, with a Bagua shape and a Tai Chi diagram inside, forming the image of a pendant.
He introduced: "This is a magic weapon passed down from my master's master. It can save your life in critical moments!"
Wang Cheng did not refuse and hung the sign around his neck. A faint coolness entered his body along his heart, and he immediately felt that his body and mind became extremely peaceful.
Bai Zhenggong said: "I see that your hall is black and you are surrounded by Yin evil spirits. This is a symptom of Yin evil spirits entering your body. I never asked, why did you fainted when you were fine last night?"
"Do you know the Soul-Eating Pearl? It's with me now!" Wang Cheng pointed to his head.
Bai Changshang opened his mouth and couldn't accept it for a moment: "This is an evil thing from the Three Corpses Cult. It specializes in devouring people's souls. It can turn the souls into pure soul power. The followers of the Three Corpses Cult can use this practice to improve their cultivation." , how could it be in your head?"
"Is there any problem?" Wang Cheng was confused.
Bai Changsheng said: "What a big problem! This is an evil thing that devours the Lord! Many of the leaders of the Three Corpses Cult in the past have had their souls devoured by this thing, and finally turned into zombies."
Wang Cheng finally changed his color and said, "How to take this thing out?"
Bai Changzhang shook his head: "If you want to take out the soul-devouring beads, you must at least reach the level of mind movement. I don't even know if there are such existences."
Seeing Wang Cheng's concern, he added: "Don't worry about it, kid. This thing just swallowed thousands of souls. It won't swallow you for the time being. I guess there should be no problem in a year and a half."
"A year and a half?"
Wang Cheng's heart skipped a beat. If he couldn't find a solution, would he only have a year and a half to live?
Bai Changshang said again: "I'm more worried about another thing now. This thing belongs to the old man Yintong. The old monster probably has a parted soul in it."
Wang Cheng knew what Bai Changshang wanted to express. This soul-devouring bead was a time bomb. If the old man Yintong really left a soul in it, he might be taken away at any time.
His expression was solemn as never before. He thought it was a good treasure, but after working on it for a long time, it turned out to be a life-threatening thing!
"This old man's damn ghost is really lingering. He's already dead and gone, but he still leaves behind such a harmful thing!"
Bai Changshang looked at Wang Cheng with a worried look on his face and said: "Boy Wang, Pindao will make an exception this time. I will teach you another volume of Taoist spiritual methods. You must meditate once every morning and evening, for at least one moment each time! Within one year, you will Be sure to find the elixir "Shenjingcao", this thing may be able to save your life!"
He asked Wang Cheng to sit cross-legged across from him and said, "Close your eyes and I'll teach you your inner magic!"
Wang Cheng closed his eyes as instructed, and then a bright light flashed before his eyes.
I saw Bai Zhongcheng's sword pointing at the center of Wang Cheng's eyebrows, with a solemn treasure, and chanting: "The husband's heart is the master of one body and the commander of hundreds of gods. Silence brings wisdom, and movement brings coma. In the ecstasy of joy, It’s just the truth; in the sweet feast, who can realize the truth and wrong? The mind is deranged, and the place where good things are entrusted..."
As he was reciting, Wang Cheng was also reciting, following at first, and soon reciting the same content as Bai Changchang, with the same speed and rhythm.
In Wang Cheng's mind, which was originally in chaos, a bright light suddenly appeared and became brighter and brighter.
Compared with that bright light, the Soul-Eating Pearl was like a planet, shining with a faint light.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already eleven o'clock. Wang Cheng found himself lying on the bed with a piece of paper next to him with a few lines of words written on it.
"Boy, I know that you will rescue your master this time, so I made a divination for you. Your master is still in Sanchuan County, and your trip must be very dangerous. The Soul-Eating Pearl has entered the body, and the evil spirit has been deeply planted. Don’t go out at night! Remember! Remember!”
