If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 100 Miss Hong, it’s really none of my business...

"Take it, take it..."

The attitude of the old drug farmer suddenly turned 180 degrees, and he smiled apologetically, which fully explained what it means to be arrogant but respectful.

Just kidding, how could he, a young Beijimen disciple, offend the Changsheng Mountain thieves?
That was a thorn that dared to attack even a city, let alone a small Miao village.

Ding Xiu smiled and waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, old sir, we can't take it for nothing. Since ancient times, those who are destined to get the spiritual things of heaven and earth can get them.

Now, since you have the intention to kill it, it means that our fate is over.

It's better to let the Angry Chicken make its own decision, whether it wants to stay or follow us.

If it is willing to follow us, that means it is destined to be with us, how about it? "

The old medicine farmer looked confused: "This...it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I have been raising this chicken since I was a child. No one dares to approach it easily except me."

"It doesn't matter, we might as well give it a try."

At this time, Partridge Whistle looked at Ding Xiu curiously, wanting to see what method he used to abduct Nu Qingji.

If it really doesn't work, he still has one more trick he can try.

The old drug farmer had no choice but to respond: "Okay!"

"A word is settled!"

Then, Ding Xiu strode towards the chicken shed.

The reason why he put forward such a condition was that he was confident. To put it another way, even if he failed, wouldn't there still be a partridge whistle?
Sure enough, this angry chicken is quite powerful.

When it sees a stranger walking into its territory, it immediately widens its eyes, flaps its wings, and digs its claws on the ground a few times to threaten the opponent.

But when he saw that his opponent didn't understand and raised his hand to touch it with a smile on his face, he couldn't help but get furious.

"Oh……"

With a high-pitched cry, the Angry Chicken rushed towards Ding Xiu like a charging general.

Unexpectedly, just after taking two steps, a soft force hit it, making it seem to be stuck in a quagmire, unable to advance or retreat, and could only struggle in place.

Ding Xiu smiled and said: "Whether you understand it or not, I still want to tell you that you can only be treated like an ordinary poultry here.

If it is an eagle, it will strike the sky; if it is a dragon, it will soar all over the world; if it is a phoenix, it will roar in the sky.

Follow me so that you can fully demonstrate your strengths and even embark on a path of cultivation..."

In the courtyard, the old herb farmer, the partridge whistle, Hong Gu, the old foreigner, and the flower spirit looked at the chicken shed intently, their eyes constantly changing.

The old medicine farmer in particular was even more shocked. Apart from the initial movement in the chicken shed, the only sound that could be heard was Ding Xiu's voice.

But Nu Qingji was surprisingly quiet.

Could it be that this young man could really tame this angry chicken?
After a while.

"Oh oh oh..."

Suddenly, there was another high-pitched cry echoing in the air, and the sound seemed different from before, and people could faintly feel the joy of the Angry Chicken.

"Oh oh oh..."

The cry continued and became louder and louder, surprising everyone in the village, and they all glanced in the direction of the old medicine farmer's house.

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was a bang in the courtyard, and it was the Angry Chicken that broke through the rope net on the roof of the chicken shed and flew into the sky.

Under the sun, the Angry Chicken circled and danced, its colorful feathers shining brightly, and it had the aura of a king looking down on the world.

"Wow~"

What's even more shocking is that it suddenly emitted a long crowing sound, which was completely different from the previous rooster's crowing sound, and it was very similar to the legendary phoenix's crowing sound.

"Oh my God, it really looks like a phoenix..." Hong Gu couldn't help but exclaimed.

Partridge Whistle looked surprised and murmured: "What a Feng Ming Jiutian!"

The phoenix's cry for nine days is auspicious and a good omen.

Ding Xiu walked out of the chicken shed and looked at the sky with a pleased expression. After a while, he raised his hand and said, "Okay, come down."

As if the angry chicken really understood, it circled around again, then swooped down and landed firmly beside Ding Xiu. It even lowered its head and rubbed Ding Xiu's thigh affectionately.

Needless to say the result?

The old medicine farmer almost knelt down on the spot, but even if he didn't kneel down, he still bent his waist almost ninety degrees. He bowed his head in fear: "Brother... no, sir, you are really a god. This chicken... this phoenix seed is completely in my hands." It's a waste.

A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, let alone such a spiritual creature..."

At this time, Honggu couldn't help but look at Ding Xiu with enchantment in her eyes.

If you can marry such a man in this life, you will die without regrets.Damn it, why did you make a lifelong vow not to marry?

No matter what bullshit oaths you make, you should be free and easy and should not be bound by any oaths...

When the old medicine farmer finished speaking, Ding Xiu couldn't help but smile: "Old sir, you have worked hard to raise me for several years, and I can't lose you. Otherwise..."

Before Ding Xiu could finish speaking, the old medicine farmer quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I must not accept the money, I must not accept it..."

At this time, Partridge Whistle stepped forward and said with a smile: "Old sir, otherwise, I will give you one hundred oceans..."

"No no no..."

"Listen to me first. You are such an old gentleman. We are going to buy some medicine from you. This hundred yuan will be used as medicine money."

The old drug farmer declined for a while, but finally accepted it.

After collecting the money, I naturally had to take out some things from the bottom of the box, so I ran into the house and took out a blue cloth bag. When I opened it, I found a Ganoderma lucidum the size of a washbasin inside.

Not to mention a thousand years, at least hundreds of years.

Just for this Ganoderma lucidum, you can spend a hundred oceans without losing money.

After chatting for a while, Ding Xiu took the initiative and said: "To be fair to the old man, our trip is to enter Pingshan Mountain to explore the underground palace, and by the way, we also killed the Xiangxi Corpse King."

The old medicine farmer was shocked: "Huh? Are you going to the Bottle Mountain Underground Palace?"

"Yes! But there are a lot of poisons in Bottle Mountain, so we need to prepare some detoxifying and detoxifying medicines.

It just so happens that the old man has a lot of medicine here, and you are also an expert. Why don't you go tell the people in the village and let's stay here for a few days? "

The muscles on the old drug farmer's face couldn't help but twitch a few times.

For anyone else, he would have refused without even thinking, but now... he really couldn't muster the courage.

Ding Xiu added: "Old sir, I know the rules of your village, but there are exceptions to everything. Just tell the people in the village that we are here to help you eliminate zombies."

The old medicine farmer had no choice but to respond.

After he came forward to make peace, and when the people in the village listened to Rong Bao Exiao's talk about what happened in Zanguan, they immediately worshiped Ding Xiu and the others as gods.

After all, can a person who can destroy ghosts and subjugate demons be an ordinary person?
Everyone took out the wine and meat collected at home to entertain Ding Xiu and his party. They drank from big bowls and ate large pieces of meat. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

We drank from early evening until late at night, and finally broke up.

……

The next morning.

At dawn, Honggu turned over in a daze.

"Ok?"

Why does it seem like there's someone next to the pillow?
Honggu's drowsiness suddenly disappeared. She opened her eyes suddenly and saw an extremely familiar face.

"what?"

Hong Gu exclaimed and sat up subconsciously.

As a result, I felt a chill on my body again, and when I looked down... I was so embarrassed that I wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

It's a pity that there is no ground seam, so there is no way. It can't be lit like this, so Jiang can only get back under the quilt and continue to lie with that person.

what's the situation?
Haven't you woken up from the dream yet?
Correct!
Must be a dream!
Thinking of this, Honggu suddenly felt a little more at ease.

She vaguely recalled that she did have a shy dream last night, in which she seemed to be very proactive...

"Miss Hong, are you awake?"

Ding Xiu smiled, and at the same time reached out his hand to gently caress Hong Gu's face.

wrong!

Hong Gu's body froze, this feeling... was too realistic.

This is not a dream!

"You...you actually..."

For a time, Honggu's mood was ups and downs, including shame, confusion, joy, and confusion.

But the reaction was not big, there was no sky-falling, desperate, crying, or hanging behavior.

Ding Xiu looked innocent: "Miss Hong, it's none of my business. Whose room is this?"

Hearing this, Honggu couldn't help but look around... Sure enough, this was not the room arranged for her.

"You drank too much last night, so you came into my room and talked a lot, saying that you must be my woman, and that I don't care about the bullshit oaths..."

"do not talk!"

Hong Gu blushed even more and raised her hand to cover Ding Xiu's mouth.

Even knowing this, it seems that I really lost my temper last night and actually took the initiative... Oh my God, I am too embarrassed to see anyone.

Hong Gu's face turned hot and she quickly turned her back to Ding Xiu.

As a result, Ding Xiu was causing trouble behind the scenes...

"do not……"

I don't know how long it took, but Honggu sneakily opened the door a crack. When she saw no one was there, she quickly ran back to her room.

After washing up, I couldn't help but beat my sore waist, legs, and knees, and spat with a red face: Bah, shameless guy, take some messy medicine...

She thought Ding Xiu had taken the particularly powerful medicine from the old drug farmer.

This is really an injustice to Ding Xiu.

With his current physique, how could he need any external assistance?What's more, he also studied the "Huangdi Neijing" carefully.

A new day has begun.

Among all the people, the one who is most proficient in pharmacology is Hua Ling.She has been exposed to various medicinal herbs since she was a child and has shown amazing talents.

The old medicine farmer was originally quite conceited, but after some exchanges with Hua Ling, he suddenly realized that he was just a frog in the well.

The medicinal herbs he has here are relatively complete, but two of the medicinal flower spirits require fresh herbs to extract the medicinal juice.

Fortunately, these two herbs can be found in the mountains around the village without having to go deep into Pingshan Mountain, so the three brothers and sisters decided to gather them separately.

Honggu had nothing to do, so she helped the old drug farmer pound the medicine and start processing it in advance to save time.As for Ding Xiu, he has important things to do: training "General Nu Qing".

General Nuqing is the name given to Nuqing Chicken by Ding Xiu. After all, it is a phoenix breed. It is not nice to call him chicken, but General is more majestic.

Nu Qing Chicken was raised as an ordinary domestic chicken since he was a child, and everything depends on instinct.

Fortunately, it has eaten a lot of poisonous insects and magical medicines, and has a solid foundation. With a little training, Ding Xiu believes that its combat effectiveness and adaptability will make a qualitative leap.

Just like a dusty pearl, if you wipe it a little, it will shine brightly.

In fact, everything has its own way of survival, and humans are constantly imitating the instincts of various animals.

For example, Five-Animal Boxing imitates the movements of chicken, harrier, swallow, eagle, and roc, and has become a major school in the world.

The Nuqing Chicken relies on his natural instinct, but just like an ordinary person hitting someone with his fist based on instinct, how can the strength be compared with that of someone who has specifically studied martial arts?
The Nuqing Chicken is a spiritual bird. It is born with spiritual intelligence. It is not difficult to train it.

Ding Xiu took the Angry Chicken deep into the mountains, looking for ferocious beasts such as black bears, wild wolves, and wild boars to fight. At the same time, he demonstrated with his own example how to advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and to be both offensive and defensive. It should not rush in all at once, but should learn to use its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. .

In your free time, while meditating and adjusting your breath, read the contents of the "Tao Te Ching" to it. Regardless of whether it can understand it or not, as long as time goes by, it will be able to digest some of the contents under subtle influence.

Before I knew it, three days had passed.

Under Ding Xiu's training, Nu Qingji slowly began to learn to use tactics, no longer as rampant as at the beginning.

Ding Xiu was guiding from the side and chanting: "It should be noted that if it is too strong, it will be easy to break, but if it is too soft, it will become dull. The combination of hardness and softness is the great road..."

After noon, Ding Xiu took Ang Qing Chicken around to look for wild beasts. Suddenly, he heard a faint exclamation, which sounded a bit like the voice of a flower spirit.

So, Ding Xiu quickly followed the sound and ran over.

When I got closer, I saw that it was really a flower spirit.

At this time, she was sitting on the ground with one leg stretched out and the other leg bent. Her face was pale. She didn't know whether she had been injured or something.

"Miss Hualing, what's going on?"

Upon hearing Ding Xiu's voice, Hua Ling couldn't help but perked up, turned around and replied: "I...I was bitten by a centipede."

"A centipede?"

Ding Xiu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this word.

After all, in the original plot, the poison of the centipede in the bottle in the mountain palace is too exaggerated. As long as it bites a person, it will quickly turn the person into a puddle of water, with no bones or hair left, and only a suit of clothes will be left in place.

"Sit still!"

Ding Xiu didn't think much, he raised his hand and tapped the air a few times, instantly sealing the flower spirit's energy and blood to prevent toxins from flowing throughout the body along the blood.

Once the poison attacks the heart, even gods may not be able to save it.

Hua Ling didn't know that her acupoints had been tapped, and she looked horrified: "It's bad, my whole body is numb..."

"Do not talk."

Ding Xiu walked quickly to Hua Ling.

As soon as I got close to her, there was a wisp of fragrance that soaked my heart and mind. There was a light medicinal fragrance and a light floral fragrance, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

This body fragrance is not something she is born with. It is because she has studied pharmacology since she was a child and has been picking various herbs and flowers in the mountains for many years. She gradually developed such a unique body fragrance.

"Where is the injury?"

Ding Xiu knelt down and found that her calves were tied with strong leggings, and there were no holes.

Hua Ling hesitated for a while, then blushed and slowly lifted up her robe.

It turned out that the injury was located on the inside of the right leg just above the knee. It was probably caused by the centipede crawling up the leggings, but Hua Ling did not notice it and was bitten.

Hua Ling had already applied some medicine, but it only slightly suppressed the toxicity. The bite area was still purple and swollen, and it began to spread radially.

Ding Xiu checked it carefully and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was not the mutant centipede in the Pingshan Underground Palace, but it was still much more toxic than ordinary centipedes.

Before Ding Xiu could ask, Hua Ling choked and said, "I brought poison-repelling medicine with me. I was fine the past few days. I don't know what happened today..."

Ding Xiu sighed: "I have said before that the poisonous insects in the Pingshan area may have mutated, and ordinary detoxifying drugs may have limited effect.

Okay, let’s talk about this later. I’ll detoxify you first, if you offended me..."

Before Hua Ling could regain her consciousness, Ding Xiu's two palms had already been placed on her legs, and he slowly closed them towards the wound.

As his palm moved, traces of black blood seeped out from the wound.

At this time, Hua Ling's eyes widened, looking incredulous.

Generally speaking, when treating poisonous insect bites, first squeeze to squeeze out the excess poisonous blood, and then suck up the remaining poisonous blood with your mouth until the blood turns bright red.

Ding Xiu's movements seemed to be squeezing out poisonous blood with his palms, but Hua Ling felt that it was not that simple.

His palms moved gently against the skin of her thighs, like a lover's caress.

However, Hua Ling knew that this was not Ding Xiu taking the opportunity to be frivolous. She could feel a stream of air flowing between his palms, like a hot spring flowing.

Under the urging of the air flow, the poisonous blood was forced out bit by bit, and the black and swollen parts were obviously improved.

Until he saw the blood flowing out, Hua Ling finally couldn't help but ask: "Is it true energy that you practice?"

She didn't talk about inner qi, but said true qi. Apparently she still knew something about Taoism.

Inner Qi is generally what people who practice martial arts call it. Taoists generally call it "Qi", or true Qi.

Broadly speaking, the process of cultivating inner qi is similar to that of true qi. They both strengthen the body and enhance strength by breathing in and adjusting the breath, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

However, upon closer inspection, there are differences between the two.

The inner energy cultivated by martial arts practitioners is an acquired energy, which is biased towards strength. People in the martial arts community are accustomed to calling it "inner strength" or "internal strength".

True qi is the vitality of the human body. True qi not only contains acquired qi, but also has innate qi. It pursues the unity of essence, energy, and spirit, and even the unity of nature and man.

Of course, when the realm of martial arts practitioners reaches a certain level, it is possible to break through the shackles, enter the Tao through martial arts, and enter the innate realm.

"Ok!"

Ding Xiu smiled and nodded, then retracted his palm and tapped Hua Ling twice.

"Okay, just apply some more medicine and you should be fine."

Only then did Hua Ling realize that it was not that he was paralyzed by poison before, but that his energy and blood were sealed by Ding Xiu.

"Oh my god, it's so amazing!" Hua Ling couldn't help but widen her eyes: "I always thought that acupuncture skills had been lost long ago. Even my senior brother has never seen it with his own eyes after traveling around the world for many years. I didn't expect you to be able to do this..."

Ding Xiu smiled and said, "Do you want to learn?"

"what?"

Hua Ling was stunned.

"That's it..."

"No, no, no..." Hua Ling became anxious and quickly grabbed Ding Xiu's arm and nodded: "I want to learn, I want to learn..."

How could anyone not want to learn such a magical technique?It’s just that I didn’t come back to my senses for a while.

"I can teach you if you want to learn, but before that, you have to be familiar with the meridians and acupuncture points of the human body. After you are familiar with them, I will slowly teach you."

"That's great..." Hua Ling cheered, and then remembered an important thing, and couldn't help but murmured: "But, I just joined Bishan, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't be able to become a disciple..."

"I haven't asked you to become a disciple, so let's just communicate with each other. You are proficient in pharmacology, and you can teach me when the time comes."

If Ding Xiu wants to learn the art of alchemy, he must be familiar with the effects, side effects, etc. of various medicinal herbs. This is the basis for getting started.

Upon hearing this, Hua Ling was overjoyed: "Yeah, no problem!"

Two more days.

Hua Ling began to prepare poison-repelling medicine, while Ding Xiu and others assisted.

Unexpectedly, before the medicine was finished, Huamaguai ran over in a hurry. As soon as he arrived, he was out of breath and said: "Something... something big happened..."

Honggu was shocked and asked anxiously: "What's going on?"

"Luo Shuai... Luo Shuai... is dead..."

"What? Dead? How did you die?" Hong Gu couldn't help but look shocked.

Although she hated that guy very much, she still couldn't believe it when she suddenly heard the news. Why did he die inexplicably?

Huamaguai took a few breaths and then explained the reason.

It turned out that Luo Laowai couldn't wait for a few days and had another dispute with Chen Yulou, which ended in an unhappy relationship.

In anger, Luo Laowai and his men went to the periphery of Pingshan to plant explosives and explode them randomly, trying their luck. What if a tunnel was blown up?
Unexpectedly, a stone door really exploded.

That stone gate is obviously controlled by a mechanism, but how does Luo Laowai understand the mechanism?He always has only one word for tomb robbing: Explode!

As a result, the stone door was blown up, and when the smoke cleared, a long passage was discovered.

As if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, everyone thought they had found the entrance to the underground palace, but little did they know that they had stepped into the gate of hell.

It was not a passage to an underground palace at all, but a tomb of doubt.

The interior is arranged like a tomb, with coffins and burial objects, making people think they have dug into the main tomb.

As a result, as soon as the people entered, a thick stone door fell down, locking them all inside. Then thousands of arrows were fired, various mechanisms were activated one by one, and a massacre began indiscriminately.

Only then did Luo Laowai realize that this place was clearly a life-threatening urn city.

Unfortunately, I understood it too late.

More than 100 people followed Luo Laowai in. When the men outside desperately blew open the thick stone door, the scene in front of them was horrific, like a Shura field.

After Luo Laowai's death, he was left without a leader, and all his subordinates were not good at all. Most of them were gangsters, thieves, smokers and the like.

Although it is a barbican city, there are indeed some treasures inside. Otherwise, how could it be tempting to be fooled?

As a result, a group of men desperately began to loot the gold, silver and jewelry inside, and some even teamed up to try to carry away the copper coffin inside.

Adjutant Yang saw that the opportunity was rare. Once Luo Laowai died, why not take the opportunity to replace him?
So he led a group of people and began to clean up the out-of-control team, and at the same time sent someone to quickly notify Chen Yulou.

Unexpectedly, Adjutant Yang underestimated the situation.

Luo Laowai usually suppressed his subordinates too harshly and would shoot them immediately if they made the slightest mistake. Now that he died, the anger of all his subordinates who had been grudged for a long time completely exploded.

During the melee, both sides suffered heavy casualties. Adjutant Yang and several of his cronies were shot to death.

By the time Chen Yulou hurried over, the battle was coming to an end, and only sporadic gunshots were heard.

Chen Yulou was about to take a look inside the Wengcheng. Unexpectedly, just as he arrived outside the blown-up stone gate, a bullet flew from nowhere and hit his back shoulder...

"Ah? Boss, are you okay?"

Hearing this, Honggu couldn't help but exclaimed.

Huamaguai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Fortunately, I didn't hit the vital point. I am recovering from my injuries in the hospital. I came to inform you."
