Masters
Li Huowang lifted up the medicine pounding rod in his hand, and smashed it into the medicine pounding jar one by one in a bored manner, slowly grinding some of the silt-laden flow light lapis lazuli inside into powder.
Although this cave is damp and cold, the young man is only wearing coarse cloth. But he was full of unconcern, seemingly not putting all this in his eyes.
He was not the only one in the cave, there were also other men and women of similar age, with the same hair tied up and the same coarse cloth and hemp rope.
The only difference between them and Li Huowang was that all of them had obvious physical external defects on their bodies, among which there were albinism as well as polio.
All kinds of congenital and acquired physical deformities can be found here, and the not-so-large material room cave seems like a deformity museum.
These people's work was the same as Li Huowang's work which was pounding things, only the things they pounded were different, there were golden stones as well as medicines, but it was clear that some people's weren't at ease with their work.
Just as the two continued to walk along the cave, the crooked-mouthed woman next to her pulled out a piece of black stuff from her pocket and suddenly handed it to Li Huowang's face, saying in that demented voice: "Eat ..... thin candy?"
Li Huowang frowned slightly, seems to know the other party's naivety, impatiently over directly into his sleeve.
See Li Huowang took over, she also pulled out another piece from her pocket and stuffed it into her mouth, foolishly continued: "Master good ..... With master have sugar to eat ...."
To this Li Huowang did not intend to say anything, the two continue to walk, so walk almost a quarter of an hour or so, an ancient color, black body tall alchemy furnace appeared in front of him.
The smoldering cauldron only poked straight to the top of the cave, and the furnace was huge looking like a small metal mountain.
From far to near to watch that Dan furnace gradually become bigger and bigger, and finally the shadow of the furnace directly submerged over his own, which makes Li Huowang feel doubly depressed.
What made him feel depressed besides that huge five-layer Dan furnace, there was also a back figure standing in front of the Dan furnace.
From the back he was wearing a greenish-blue Taoist robe, hairpin and crown, white hair at the temples, looking very immortal.
Sitting on the ground, he seemed to be doing the same thing as Li Huowang before, getting the pill pounding rod and pounding it one by one, only it seemed that the pill pounding rod in his hand was much bigger and looked like a giant pillar.
As it fell together, the sound of gold and stone crashing echoed continuously within the cave.
"Master ...... Master!" The slant-mouthed woman clumsily pinched the thumb of her left hand with her right hand, placed the four fingers of her left hand on top of the fingers of her right hand, and placed her hands on her chest to make a bow to that back, her eyes full of respect.
As soon as she opened her mouth, the ear-piercing crashing sound stopped.
As soon as the back figure turned around, even though she was prepared for it, Li Huowang's pupils were still slightly constricted in shock.
The front of the Taoist priest is very different from the back, from the back of the Taoist appearance of the immortal style, but from the front, it is a mangey head old man, the mouth of the ground to the sky of the sporadic a few yellow teeth so exposed in the air.
"Come? Good disciple, let me wait." With a wave of his dirty Taoist robe, the old Taoist priest rose up into the air and retreated back by grabbing the crooked-mouthed woman's neck with one hand.
Before that demented woman could open her mouth and say another half-sentence, she was instantly thrown into a half-man-high stone urn, and in the next moment, the master with a hideous expression fist-sized stone pounding rod with both hands, heavily smashed down.
Accompanied by the sound of bones cracking, the woman's head was instantly smashed and dried up into a piece of paper, with no space left, the white cerebral pulp was forced to spray out from inside the seven orifices.
This was not the end, the previous impact echoed again, accompanied by the pounding pole lifting high and falling heavily, every piece of the woman's body fell to the same end as her head.
With each blow, the flesh on the right side of Li Huowang's face shook as if it had been tugged.
Flesh scraps and blood splattered onto the old Taoist priest's face and body, but he was unperturbed as he recited something in accordance with a certain melody with an exuberant expression.
"Ding ugly prolongs my life, ding hei protects my soul, jia zi protects my body, jia xu protects my form, jia shen fixes my life, jia wu guards my soul, jia chen is true to my spirit!"
After thoroughly pounding his disciple into mush, he lifted the Shi Weng that weighed several hundred pounds with one hand, and personally pounded out a mess of rotten mud all poured into the alchemy furnace in front of him, and then immediately with an expression of extreme exuberance, his hands jerked up into the air.
"Start the furnace, alchemy!"
Two Daoist children wearing exaggerated blushes came out from the shadows, fanning themselves while pouring all kinds of condiments into the furnace, among which there were all kinds of golden stone powders as well as quite a few living and wriggling things.
After a while, a strange rich aroma filled the air, it was no other fragrance, it was the fragrance of human flesh.
At this moment, that mangy head master closed his eyes and took a deep breath before stroking his chin without a few whiskers, a satisfied expression appeared on his dirty and ugly face.
When he slowly opened his eyes, he put his hands behind his back and turned his head towards Li Huo Wang. "I heard that you called this Taoist Master a fart? Can this be true?"
In an instant, the air around them seemed to freeze.
Looking at this murderous so-called master in front of him, Li Huowang was unmoved, slowly closing his eyes to calm his somewhat rapid breathing, and silently reciting in his heart : "You can't fool me, it's all a lie, it's all a lie."
"Speak! Mute? Hmm?!" Accompanied by the sound of Master's footsteps getting closer and closer, the stench of his body mixed with the smell of blood mingled with it, like a wall coming to his nose.
Trembling, Li Huowang fiercely clenched his teeth and used his whole body's strength to forcefully open his eyes.
The just dim and full of depressing cave dojo instantly disappeared, a bright and clean ward with very fresh air appeared in front of him, while the lower half of his body was bound to the bed by a cloth belt in a deadly manner.
"Ah!" A woman's terrified scream drew everyone to look.
Only to see that on one side of the cavern, a fat teenager with a hare lip had a lewd smile on his face as he attempted to pull an albino girl into his arms.
"I'll just get it, just a little bit, promise, hehehehehe~"
Li Huowang ignored the noise and closed his eyes as he continued to do his job one at a time.
Listening to the woman's cries in his ears becoming more and more miserable, the annoyed Li Huowang cursed darkly, picking up the stone medicine jar with one hand and stood up.
"Do," the stone and bone collided together with a muffled sound.
The fat man with cracked lips whose head was broken and bloodied sat on his butt on the ground and froze there, obviously dumbfounded by this smash, after two seconds, his expression twisted in pain as he covered his wounds and dryly howled.
The white-haired, white-skinned girl who had escaped the fate of being defiled, covered her own clothes in fear and hid behind Li Huo Wang.
"I tell you! You finish ruffling, do you know I am master what Jen? Let his old man know tease, he get you dead!" The fat man with cleft lips threatened with an unusually angry expression.
"What is he, he's not even a fart!!!" Li Huo Wang's words shocked the entire audience into silence.
The others present had never imagined that the man in front of them would actually dare to say such.
Looking at the looks of these so-called senior brothers and sisters before him, Li Huo Wang took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
"What's wrong with me, how can I get angry with these things, my own character is obviously not so flamboyant, I can't let them affect my character, the me that I was just now is not the real me, calm down and be calm."
Just as Li Huo Wang was still calming himself, he heard someone call out to him from the doorway.
"Senior Brother Li, Senior Sister Wang, Master calls for you and others to go over." The tall youth who shouted was obviously of a different status than Li Huowang, wearing was a green-colored dao robe.
Although that robe looked very old, the cuffs were washed white, but this is far better than Li Huowang's body's ragged burlap do not know how many times.
This person was holding a ponytail duster in one hand, looking at the juniors in front of him with a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
Seeing this young Daoist appear, the fat man with a broken head immediately revealed an expression of pungent joy. "Haha! You finish ruffling! It's your turn to tease today."
But Li Huowang completely ignored him, turned around and was about to follow a woman with a crooked mouth drooling toward the door, the woman's face looked very unhealthy.
He had just taken two steps when he realized that someone was tugging at his sleeve, pulling him back and preventing him from leaving. Li Huowang turned around and found that it was the albino girl who had just saved his life.
Tearful, she kept shaking her head, fear in her eyes.
The indifferent Li Huowang was unmoved, and with a strong slam of his sleeve, he took a big step forward.
From the material room out is a bigger cave, cave wall there are a lot of with the same material room of the cave as other purposes, see the pitted appearance, when the construction of this place is obviously not good craftsmanship.
The entire cave is very large, large and small tunnels in all directions, as if the enlarged version of the anthill.
A piece of rotten peach wood was nailed on top of each small cave knot, on which the name of each cave was carved with the force of the wood, Spirit Palace Hall, Old Law Hall, Celebration of Ancestors Hall, and Four Royal Halls.
A naturally occurring cave was actually primed to look like a dojo.
