In the mountain forest, Hong Butian shuttled quickly.
"If only I could run so fast when my father and uncle chased me..."
Hong Butian sighed: "In that case, they have no chance to catch up with me."
"Okay, kid."
The voice in the ring reminded casually: "Look above your head."
"I've seen it a long time ago."
The short dagger in Hong Butian's hand was swung towards the top of his head, and he cut a dark-colored poisonous snake into two sections. The snake's head trembled slightly, as if it wanted to spit out venom, but it was crushed down by Hong Butian's kick.
"Today is the twenty-third beast that I encountered today that actively attacked me..."
Hong Butian put away the snake body and sighed: "A few days ago, the forest was quiet as if there were no living creatures, but now it is full of life..."
After a pause, Hong Butian nodded and said: "But this is the forest I am familiar with. There are wild beasts and poisonous insects, which actually makes me feel at ease."
"It's normal."
The ring’s voice gradually became excited: “This shows that we are getting closer to the Medicine King Sect.
At that time, we always kept some poisonous beasts and insects around the sect that could be used for medicinal purposes...
It seems like I’ve been away for so long, but I’m still the same as before! "
"The sound of raising poisonous substances for medicinal purposes makes me a little panicked..."
Hong Butian said truthfully: "Now that we are here, you should stop hiding anything from me, right?
You said, after I go to Yaowang Sect, I really won’t be tricked by you? "
"You still don't believe me now, do you?"
Ring said a little unhappy: "I risked my life to help you, and now I'm hesitant to ask you to help me?
Why, now that I have helped you reach the Qi refining stage, you want to get rid of me and run away, right? "
At this point, Ring's voice couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "If that's really the case, then just think that I was blind and saw the wrong person!"
"Don't worry, since you haven't broken your promise, I will definitely come as promised."
Hong Butian clicked his tongue lightly and said in an indifferent tone: "But if it's really a lie, at least let me know it to death, right?"
"I told you, really, don't question it anymore!"
"OK."
Hong Butian nodded: "I believe it."
"But then again..."
Hong Butian asked the question he was most concerned about, showing a bit of worry: "How did you become like this, and who caused you to become like this?
According to what you said, you were already a very powerful monk at the time, so wouldn’t the person who killed you be even stronger? "
"Uh, this..."
Ring hesitated for a few moments, then sighed: "Since you asked, I can't hide it anymore. Let me tell you the truth. The person who killed me was a good friend of mine..."
"Um?"
Hong Butian raised his eyebrows: "He was secretly jealous of you or had some agenda, so he killed you?"
"Well..."
The ring groaned and sighed: "Back then, he invited me to get together with friends on a certain high mountain, and we had a great conversation.
Talking about his enjoyment, he excitedly told me that he had researched a prescription and had prepared a pill. According to ancient books, that pill can help monks survive thunder disasters more easily...
On the spot, he took out two pills and gave one to me. He smiled and said that after he refined the pills, he notified me immediately and wanted to share this ancient pill with me... "
"Then……?"
Hong Butian frowned, and gradually began to suspect that the great elder died after taking the pill.
As the great elder of Yaowang Sect, it is quite ironic that he was poisoned to death...
"I was very moved after hearing this and took the pills immediately without hesitation."
Ring sighed and said: "The pill is colorless and odorless, and I can't tell the specific medicinal properties at all. But the more it is like this, the more I think it works."
really……
Hong Butian nodded secretly in his heart.
"After seeing me taking the pill, my friend laughed..."
"That friend of yours just tore off the hypocrisy and killed you with a grin?!"
Hong Butian looked a little angry: "It's exactly what I thought. I can't stand this kind of betrayal the most in my life..."
"Ahem, that..."
The ring interrupted Hong Butian's little composition and whispered: "My friend laughed loudly and said that he liked a cheerful person like me, so he also took the pill immediately..."
Hong Butian: "???"
"One is poisonous?"
Hong Butian guessed: "The other one is not poisonous?"
"No, he studied the wrong recipe. Both pills are extremely poisonous!"
The ring sighed: "Not long after, we both died of the poison and both died suddenly..."
"boom!"
There was a roar in Hong Butian's head, and he shook his head. He looked at the blood stains on the tree in front of him and touched his forehead again. It was wet.
"so?"
Hong Butian ignored the wound on his forehead and hesitated to speak.
"Yeah, that's right."
Ring sighed: “This was an accidental death.
By the way, didn’t I tell you in the chapter about my appearance that I accidentally ended up in this situation..."
Hong Butian: "???"
Hong Butian: "..."
"My friend was extremely remorseful before he died. He felt that he was just dead and had dragged me along with him..."
There was sadness in the ring's voice: "Then he used his last strength to protect my soul in this ring, but he died with a bitter smile..."
"Ah this..."
Hong Butian didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only sigh and said: "Please forgive me and accept the change. It's just that a noble and upright person like my predecessor died for this reason, but it makes people feel a little unworthy..."
"Well, maybe, but in my opinion, as long as you are on the road of exploration, no matter how absurd the reason is, it is still a well-deserved death..."
The Great Elder said with emotion: "I think that the path of our Medicine King Sect has been passed down from generation to generation. From the humble beginning to the current scale, we have faced disasters many times, but we still survived.
Among them, it is inseparable from the seniors who tried the medicine and developed the prescriptions. Some of them choked to death, but they are still respected by us descendants..."
"That is indeed worthy of respect..."
Hong Butian sighed and his eyes lit up: "If this is the case, Yaowang Sect is indeed a place worth visiting!"
"Haha, of course, this place is not far from the canyon where my Medicine King Sect is located. If you hurry up, you can probably get there at dawn tomorrow!"
"Is that so?"
Hong Butian nodded and sped up.
As for the wound on his forehead, it was nothing more than a scratch. After all, he was a monk in the Qi Refining Stage, and he could recover as before with just a turn of the camera!
Early the next morning, Yaowang Valley.
"So...is this the Medicine King Sect you are talking about?"
Hong Butian stared blankly in front of him and asked the ring, but this time he didn't get an answer.
In front of me, there are ruined walls, broken windows and broken tiles, and there seems to be solidified blood stains in some places...
"This, this, this..."
The ring was incoherent and unbelievable.
"I, I, I...how could this happen? How could this be possible! No, this is impossible!"
"Calm down first..."
"I can't calm down, how can I calm down!"
The great elder broke down and said angrily: "This is my sect, my sect! Tell me how it became like this?!"
"Well, if you ask me, I definitely don't know..."
Hong Butian raised his hands above his head, looked at the sword on his neck, and swallowed.
"But maybe this brave man holding me with a sword knows something...
Well, calm down, calm down, don't do anything, killing is not good! "
"Who are you calling a hero?"
A soft hum sounded behind Hong Butian. The person behind him put a sword on Hong Butian's neck and slowly turned to face him, allowing Hong Butian to see the other person's appearance clearly.
Well, a beautiful girl in a black shirt who seemed to be in her twenties was looking at Hong Butian with a sneer.
"Master asked me to come to the Yaowang Sect, which has been deserted, to investigate. He said there might be some clues left here..."
Zhao Zhuji looked at Hong Butian warily and snorted: "Sure enough, I caught a suspicious character as soon as I came here. Is this the reason why criminals always return to the scene of the crime..."
"Ah ha ha?"
Hong Butian blinked: "Suspicious? Prisoner? Who is it?"
It must be this ring, right?
It must be a ring!
He is the most suspicious!
"Still pretending to be confused!"
Zhao Zhuji cursed angrily: "Monster, you haven't shown your true form yet! Look at my magic weapon, [demon mirror? small]!"
"Um?"
Hong Butian watched as the girl suddenly took out a small round mirror and pointed it at him. His face suddenly appeared in it and he blinked.
"Well, it's true that I've been very busy these days and I've become a bit slovenly. But you can't put a sword on my neck just because I'm not good at hygiene, can you?"
"ah?"
Zhao Zhuji looked into the small round mirror and found that there was no change. Her eyes widened and she exclaimed.
"Can you even hide the past from [demon mirror? Xiao]?
Who are you, a monster, to have such abilities? ! "
After a pause, Zhao Zhuji frowned and said: "As expected of the guy who can destroy the Medicine King Sect, he does have some skills... Tell me! What is your prototype?"
"Well……"
Hong Butian laughed and said: "Is there a possibility that I am actually a human being?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Zhao Zhuji snorted: "Since the Yaowang Sect was destroyed, how could anyone come to such a remote place?!"
"..."
Hong Xiaotian remained silent and stared at Zhao Zhuji silently.
"You called me a human being!"
Zhao Zhuji's face turned red with anger: "How dare you!"
"I didn't say anything!"
"The look in your eyes says it!"
"..."
"Look, I've acquiesced!"
"What the hell..."
"Okay, stop for a moment!"
A tired old voice came from the ring, and a shadow of an old man appeared around the two of them. He looked at Zhao Zhuji's clothes with a clear look on his face, and couldn't help but sigh.
"It turns out to be someone from the Wujing Sword Sect. If you are investigating, that means that the culprit who harmed our Medicine King Sect is a foreign race?"
Zhao Zhuji: "Are you...?"
Hong Butian: "Who are you?"
"You brat, who do you think I am?"
"Oh, it's you, I can't even recognize the tone just now..."
