fairy cage

Chapter 5
Yu Lie came to the door of the alchemy room run by the town's central government.

He hadn't led the donkey in yet, when suddenly a severed hand flew out from the door opening of the alchemy room!

Immediately there was a whimpering sound, and a naked mangy dog ​​rushed out from the door opening and grabbed the severed hand.

"Cluck!" The dog chewed on the spot, biting the severed hand, crunching as it ate, with joy on its face.

The dog found Yu Lie staring at it again, and its gurgling stopped suddenly, and it let out a threatening whine.

Yu Lie calmly withdrew his gaze and didn't look at the dog again.

Danfang's dog is no ordinary dog.

It is a human-faced dog, and because its voice is similar to that of a doll, it is also called a doll dog. Yu Lie can't beat it or provoke him now.

He bowed slightly towards the human-faced dog, then got out of the way, and walked into the alchemy room by brushing the edge of the door opening.

Entering the doorway, a female priest with a protruding abdomen happened to pass by Yu Lie. She should be feeding the human-faced dog.

Yu Lie didn't even look at the dog, let alone the people in the alchemy room.The silly starling on the paper donkey's head curled up even more, as if he had turned into a dead bird.

The moment Yu Lie stepped into the Pill House, a voice sounded:

"Guest, what are you here to buy?"

On the high counter, inside the arm-thick iron window.A figure swayed, and an old-fashioned voice came.

Yu Lie made a fat promise and said, "You're welcome. Come and buy some medicine."

In the dark counter, a person's head shook: "You are just joking, who doesn't come to the pill room to buy medicine? But this is only a side room, and we only buy and sell medicinal materials. If you want to buy medicine, you have to go to the main room, where there are pills. It's scattered."

Yu Lie smiled and said directly:

"Three plants of red foxtail, one bottle of bat urine, ten gecko tails, one bottle of zombie tooth powder... three bigu pills, two sticks of red sandalwood incense, and one urn of clean altar water."

The figure behind the alchemy room swayed, and replied: "Okay!" Then there was a sound of rummaging through boxes and boxes.

"The dog's tail grass...Bigu Wan, huh!"

Immediately afterwards, there was another surprised voice: "Guest officer, you are going to perform a ritual ceremony. Congratulations, guest officer. I wish you an early ascension to immortality and ascend to immortality."

The medicines that Yu Lie bought are very targeted, especially the bigu pills, which seem to be for retreat.And the Taoist in Danfang had been doing business for a long time, so he guessed that Yu Lie was going to retreat to practice and complete a transformation.

The next moment, a human head suddenly protruded from the bars, shriveled, with thin and long hair.

The head stared at Yu Lie: "However, your medicine lacks life-saving white bezoar, are you sure you want to save this money?"

"Without it, for the last Taoist boy like you, it is a narrow escape. I advise you to take it easy."

White Bezoar has a powerful detoxification effect. Once ingestion fails, the ingestion can be stopped in time to save people's lives, and it can also enhance people's resistance in the middle.

Yu Lie heard Danfang Daotong's words, and stood in front of the counter and replied, "No, it's ready, so don't bother."

"Jie Jie!" The shriveled man on the counter smiled strangely and babbled:
"Young and unbelievers like you, I have seen too many. Every time there are dragged, limped, bloody orifices running over... You see this thick Are there iron windows? This is to prevent them from being cornered."

Yu Lie just smiled and didn't answer the other party's words.

In fact, Dao Tong in Danfang said it lightly. The other party said that he still had the strength to crawl over, so he must have prepared a small amount of antidote, or his body was strong.

For the last Taoist boys like Yu Lie, because their physical bodies have not undergone any substantial transformation, once they are poisoned during the consumption process but there is no antidote, they will definitely die!
Melting into meat paste on the spot is the most likely end for them. How can they have a chance to escape from the quiet room?
Next, pay with one hand and deliver with the other.

A human head flew out from behind the counter, his hair was entangled on the iron window, his yellow teeth were hooking oil-paper bags and small urns, and his neck was empty.

The head dangled a few times in mid-air, threw the medicine bag and the small urn into Yu Lie's arms, and sang: "Guest officer, go slowly, come often!"

After getting the medicinal materials, Yu Lie happily shook his head and said, "Come here often."

Then he strode out of the alchemy room, leaving only the head still giggling.

Next.

Yu Lie bought clothes and gowns on the West Street, dry food on the North Street, and sold birds on the South Street.

After he was ready, he stepped into the quiet room run by the Heishui Town government.

The stone walls of the government-run quiet room are thick and heavy, neither dry nor wet, but lack of light.

The arm-thick candle in Yu Lie's hand can burn for seven days and seven nights, but the quality is too poor. It should be using whale oil, but the Taoist who is taking care of the quiet room secretly replaced it with butter. It is dim and smells like smoke. .

But Yu Lie had no choice, he bought seven as soon as he bought it, enough for him to use in the quiet room for more than a month.

This is because, no outside candles can enter!
Although there is no charge for the government-run quiet room according to the rules, the quiet room always needs someone to manage it, and you have to pay some incense money to use it.

If you are not filial, you will often die miserably.

Taking and transforming is not just a matter of swallowing the medicinal materials in one mouthful. During the process, you need to bathe and burn incense, change your mind, breathe and breathe, check the medicinal materials, etc., and you don’t dare to be interrupted halfway.

Disturbance is a waste of all previous work, good luck will result in serious injury, bad luck will burp on the spot, and the inheritance will be given away for nothing.

Yu Lie didn't want an "enthusiastic" Taoist boy to knock on the door and ask him:
"Guest officer, do you want to refill the candle?"

The effect is also gratifying. The Jingshi Daotong not only chose a geomantic treasure for Yu Lie, which is breathable, but it is said that the mortality rate during transformation is only [-]%, so Yu Lie should also be careful, so as not to die and lower the house price.

He also thoughtfully sent something blocking the door, promising that even if a high-ranking Taoist boy came, he would never open the door of the quiet room immediately.

So in the quiet room, Yu Lie let go of his worries, and patiently adjusted his body and mind, first took a bath, then lit the red sandalwood incense, and finally took out the "Book of Taoism" and recited it several times.

When everything was ready, Yu Lie took the bigu pills and looked at the paper donkey beside him, his eyes burning again.

There is a threshold for cultivating the Tao. He has practiced the Tao for more than a year, but he still has not crossed the threshold.

For this transformation, Yu Lie has put everything on her hands!If he is unsuccessful, not to mention usury will not let him go, if he fails, he will throw himself into the river if he is physically weak.

But Yu Lie was not afraid. He endured it for more than a year and borrowed usury loans in order to increase the success rate as much as possible, succeed in one fell swoop, and step onto the road!
Although he doesn't have white bezoar, he bought Shengling Pill early on, which can increase the success rate of transformation, and is more precious than white bezoar!
Coupled with his good luck, he killed the powerful wolf demon and devoured it. Once he completes the transformation, he will be stronger than ordinary Taoist boys.

And this step is the beginning of Yu Lie's ascension!
The fire in Yu Lie's eyes could no longer be suppressed, he simply obeyed his will, picked up the paper knife, got up from the stone altar in the quiet room, and pushed down the paper donkey.

He cut open the belly of the paper donkey neatly, and was about to take out the heart and liver of the wolf demon and eat it into Taoism.

But the next moment.

Yu Lie's movements froze, and his face, which had been calm all the time, turned pale and pale.

I saw that the belly of the paper donkey was empty, and there was no wolf-hearted wolf lung, at most there was blood and minced meat.

"Where is my, such a big pile of demon viscera?!!!"

Eyes dizzy.

Yu Lie was in the quiet room, his heart was cold, he felt as if he had stood by the Heishui River, and the mountain wind was fierce.
