Lao Liu's apprentice is called Wang Hua, a skinny little butcher.
That year, the locust plague passed through the country, and there was no harvest. It was impossible to survive, so I had to flee and become a refugee.
It happened that Lei Peng went out to look for a pickpocket. Seeing that he was carrying a butcher's knife to defend himself and that he was about to starve to death, he decisively took Wang Hua back to the pickpocket department.
Ordinary people who have never practiced cultivation are destined to be lucky if they can persist for five days. Wang Hua did not want to die, so he had no choice but to escape.
At that time, Lao Liu was famous all over the world and was in high spirits. He came to the capital to visit friends and met Wang Hua who fainted on the street. With the benevolent attitude of a doctor, he took the child back to the inn for treatment.
After getting along with each other, I found that the child was kind-hearted and knew many Chinese herbal medicines, so he became interested in talents and accepted him as his direct disciple.
As the saying goes, there is no separation between medicine and poison.
Lao Liu is a person who lives in the world. In his circle, there are very few people who are really seriously ill. Most of them are poisoned by enemies. There is no antidote, so he is asked to treat them.
Lao Liu usually specializes in studying various poisons. After reaching the Taoist realm, he even rose to the level of using demon organs to make elixirs.
One day I accidentally heard the name of Mad Nightmare Pill, and my heart moved. I couldn't help but want to refine this pill and prepare an antidote.
In this way, he can transform from a miraculous doctor in the world of martial arts to a miraculous doctor in cultivating immortals.
After many inquiries, I finally got the prescription, but the inner pots of seven or eight kinds of demons were really hard to find.
After years of preparation and exhaustion of family wealth, Old Liu still lacks the guts to become a wolf demon.
The main thing is that this bladder cannot be an ordinary wolf demon. It has different origins and different medicinal effects. It must be the inner bladder of a crazy wolf in the Mobei region.
There was no other way, so Lao Liu had to send Wang Hua to Mobei to find out the news.
As a result, after the apprentice left, there was no news for five years.
Lao Liu waited hard to no avail, so he had to go in person.
"Did a tragedy happen?"
Lao Liu nodded, but his speech was slurred and intermittently.
The vast five-thousand-mile desert is unbearably hot and has endless sand dunes. Not to mention entering the Dao realm, even if a strong person from the Second Dao realm comes, there is still a risk of getting lost.
Standing outside the desert, he was at a loss, looking for a needle in a haystack, not knowing which direction to go.
They had no choice but to find a large caravan and follow them through the desert, inquiring about information and searching for traces of the crazy wolf.
This search lasted another five years.
Exposed to the wind, sun, and harsh environment, the originally middle-aged Liu's appearance and age really turned into an "old" Liu.
Until this day.
He finally hunted and killed a mad wolf that had entered the Dao realm and obtained the inner gall bladder.
After five years of searching, there was no news about Wang Hua at all. He must be dead. Although Lao Liu was sad, life had to go on, so he had to leave Mobei with the caravan.
That night, there was a strong wind and sand, and the bandits attacked the camp. More than 300 people in the family died, and only Lao Liu was left to fight hard.
But there are three Taoist masters in this group of sand bandits, and Lao Liu is no match for them.
Just when he was about to die, the bandit leader walking from a distance suddenly shouted:
"Master?!"
Lao Liu was stunned and could hardly believe his eyes.
But those familiar eyebrows made him recognize his apprentice Wang Hua at a glance.
The once thin and shy disciple may have had an unexpected encounter and become majestic and burly. He has cultivated into the Taoist realm and has the courage to defeat the three armies.
People who study medicine are generally close to Buddhism and have a compassionate heart, and so is Lao Liu.
The apprentice turned into a bandit leader, he was ruthless and ruthless. He led people to kill all the people with broken limbs and corpses all over the ground. I don’t know whether to see him again after a long separation, but he was still sad that his apprentice had turned into such a ferocious appearance. Old Liu burst into tears.
That night, the master and apprentice sat on the sand dune, and Wang Hua told his story.
After he came to Mobei, in order to find out the traces of the crazy wolf, he also found a escort team and followed him around to search.
As a result, the bodyguards were unethical and robbed him of all his belongings, tied him up and left him to die in the desert.
Just when he was about to die of dehydration, he was rescued by a group of bandits, the same people who were sent out tonight.
At first, Wang Hua followed the team and watched the bandits murder and steal goods, attacking wave after wave of caravans, and persuaded everyone not to commit crimes.
Until the bandit leader told him.
"The things you are eating now are all taken from the dead. The water you drink is also the water source that everyone took with their lives. This barren land in Mobei cannot feed too many people. If you don't attack them, you will You will starve to death, the world is like this, life or death is yours to choose."
later.
Wang Hua began to kill people with a knife and found many martial arts secrets from the dead.
He also got married to the old leader's daughter, a transformed wolf demon, and gave birth to a child.
Old Liu sighed and asked:
"Why don't you run away?"
"I wanted to leave at first, but they wouldn't let me go. But then... my children and wife are here, so I can't leave. I can't get the wolf guts, so I can't face the master."
Old Liu asked again:
"The crazy wolf I killed..."
"That's my wife's eldest brother."
Old Liu's face turned red.
Because of his selfish desires, he hunted the crazy wolf, which led to the bandits tracking him here, causing a human tragedy of more than 300 people, and the deaths of these people were all blamed on him.
Lao Liu was so ashamed that he could not speak. Although he was reluctant to part with the guts that he had worked hard for five years, he could only return the things to others.
Wang Hua refused and let Lao Liu go that night.
"Master, take the inner bladder and leave. Don't come back again. I will comfort the family members."
…
Three months later, after Lao Liu, who had obtained the Crazy Nightmare Pill at the edge of the desert, came out of seclusion, he heard that the imperial court's masters were encircling and suppressing the desert bandits in the north.
He felt guilty and sorry for his apprentice, so of course he had to save him this time.
But when he arrived, the bandit team of 500 people was dead and injured.
Wang Hua's wolf demon wife died in the battle, but his son was sent away early and survived.
Old Liu helped Wang Hua and the two Taoist survivors escape. After helping them treat their injuries, Nai He couldn't resist the experts sent by the court, so he could only jump into the quicksand and hide in an underground sand city.
The people above did not dare to come down easily for fear of being swallowed up, so they clung to the ground.
There is no other exit in this sand city, and digging can't lead to it. If you rush out, you will die, which makes Wang Hua and the others desperate.
What's even more frightening is that they have no food and only carry some healing pills with them.
More than ten days passed in a flash, and the people above were still there, but the people below couldn't hold on any longer, and their eyes were glowing green.
The last pill was placed between the four of them.
Lao Liu likes to meditate on Zen and enlightenment, and knows the method of fasting. He meditates alone in front of the Buddha statues on the stone wall, without fighting or grabbing them.
Wang Hua and the others were as skinny as a stick, staring at the pills on the ground like hungry wolves.
Within two days, someone couldn't bear the hunger and took the lead in snatching it, causing the three of them to fight.
Half a day later.
The other two people died tragically, leaving only Wang Hua, who was seriously injured.
His eyes were bloodshot, his eyes were red from eating human flesh, and his head was dizzy with hunger. He stared at the prey like a hungry tiger, clenched his fists tightly, and walked towards Lao Liu step by step.
He slowly stretched out his right hand...
Old Liu, who was facing the wall, was shocked. He hadn't seen him for many years. His apprentice was killing people like crazy, and his temperament had already changed drastically. Without even thinking about it, he suddenly stabbed out the short knife in his sleeve.
"puff--"
Wang Hua looked at the short knife stuck in his chest, his pupils dilated, and he spread his palms tremblingly.
"Master, give..."
Lying in the palm of his hand was the last pill.
