A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 278 Elixir

Laoshan Mountain is located in a remote coastal area with deep rocks and secluded valleys. For hundreds of years, it has been called the "Shen Cave and Immortal Mansion" by some alchemists and Taoists.

Legend has it that there are not only immortals living in Laoshan, but also elixirs that can give you "long life and long-term vision" if you take them.

Many famous alchemists, Taoists, and literati in the past dynasties have visited Mount Laoshan for cultivation and sightseeing.

This Laoshan Mountain is full of twists and turns, the mountains are steep and towering, the strange rocks are rolling and slowly walking along the walls, the ancient cypresses and pines are older than the old, the beautiful bamboos and exotic flowers are blooming, the mountains and the sea are connected, and the clouds are flying and the clouds are floating. It is indeed unique. beauty of.

Therefore, there is a record in "Qi Ji": Although Mount Tai is high in clouds, it is not as good as Lao in the East China Sea.

There are many Taoist temples in Mount Laoshan, covering a radius of hundreds of miles. There are Taoist temples that are more than hundreds of years old. It is said that Mount Laoshan has nine palaces, eight temples and seventy-two nunneries.

But in fact, there are more than nine temples and eight temples in the Taoist temples in Mount Laoshan. There are also many small nunneries in front of the peaks, behind the cliffs, and beside the mountain valleys.

Laoshan Taoists often say: "Laoshan Taoist watch the stars in the sky, and the Seven Truths descend and return to the true sect. If you ask who is the leader of the palace watchers, go down to Taiqing Palace from Laojun Peak."

The Taiqing Palace is the first of the palaces in Laoshan. Together with the Shangqing Palace and the Taiping Palace, it is a Taoist temple built by Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty for Huagai Zhenren.

Among the Taoist temples in Mount Laoshan, Taiqing Palace is the temple with the longest history, the best area, the largest scale, the largest number of Taoists, and the deepest influence. It is located at the foot of Laojun Peak in Mount Laoshan, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on one side, with beautiful scenery.

Logically speaking, with such a big name as Taiqing Palace, it must be the most beautiful girl on Mount Laoshan, but in fact, the most popular Taoist temple on Mount Laoshan today is an unknown new cliffside temple - Baiyun Temple. .

The early morning sunshine shines through the mist in front of the simple and solemn Baiyun Temple.

It was barely bright, but the small square in front of the door was already bustling with people.

Cars, horses and soft sedans were lined up in an endless stream, like a long colorful dragon, extending from the path in front of the temple to the corner of the mountain road in the distance, almost covering the entire ground.

All kinds of horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts are parked on both sides of the road in an orderly manner, and soft sedans are of all kinds. But just look at the exquisite carvings and bright paint colors on the vehicles that shine in the morning light, and the gorgeous decorations on the sedans. The golden roof is decorated with embroidered curtains, and you know that all the believers here come from wealthy families, and no one is poor.

Even the few believers who came here on foot did not look like ordinary people's coarse clothes.

It's just that these people are described as haggard, skinny, with sunken eye sockets. They are obviously rich, but they seem to be malnourished.

They repeatedly wandered in front of the temple gate, anxiously waiting for the moment when the temple door opened. Their expressions were eager and nervous, but none of them chanted sutras and prayed. They did not look like monks who were quiet and inactive at all. Instead, they looked like they were sitting or standing. Restless, anxious and hasty manner.

When a crowd gathers, there will inevitably be collisions. This group of believers is like aggressive roosters that explode at the first touch. Within a short time, there have been three or four conflicts.

If it weren't for the concern that this was the residence of an immortal, I'm afraid this place would have been filled with blood.

Suddenly, a member of the team fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and twitching all over.

The people around him immediately made an uproar and ran away, shouting at the same time:

"Elixir!"

"Give him the elixir quickly!"

While the servant of the believer's family hurriedly rescued his master, he smiled bitterly and bowed to everyone around him:

"Everyone, my master has used up all the elixirs. I would like to ask some good person, Weng Yun, to come up with one for emergency use. Once my master asks for it from the elixir, he will immediately return it in its original form."

The surrounding gentry were originally watching nervously, but as soon as they heard that they wanted to borrow the "elixir", they immediately changed their expressions, looked cold, turned their heads to the side, and ignored him.

The servant knelt down and kowtowed in front of everyone, begging hard, but to no avail. Seeing that the fallen believer was getting worse and worse, the gate of Baiyun Temple suddenly opened.

Everyone didn't care about anything else and immediately ran towards the door of Baiyun Temple, shouting at the Taoist boy who opened the door.

"Chief Immortal, what I bring is real gold and silver. Give me the elixir first!"

"Chief Immortal, I brought the land deed to my home just to exchange for a few more elixirs!"

"Immortal Chief, my little girl is only twenty-eight years old and in her prime. She is willing to be sent to a Taoist temple to serve the Immortal Chief. I only ask the Immortal Chief to be kind and give me a few more elixirs!"

The servants also hurriedly got up and followed the others inside, but they did not dare to push against these nobles, so they had to shout at the top of their lungs:

"Chief Immortal, my master is dying. Please give me the elixir to save my life!"

The Taoist boy had an arrogant attitude and ignored him. He just waved his hand, and several powerful men came up behind him and stopped at the door to collect money.

The wealthy gentry anxiously handed over all the wealth they carried with them, and then the Taoist boy registered and recorded it, and then turned aside to let people pass.

The servant also took a small box of silver from the car and successfully entered the Baiyun Temple, while those who no longer had wealth at home were stopped outside.

These people fell to their knees and begged, in various situations.

"Chief Immortal, I really have nothing to sell at home, so please be merciful and give me another elixir..."

"Immortal, I was kicked out of the house by the evil son of the family. Please let me have a good time first. Then I will go down to the Yamen to complain, beat the rebellious beast to death, and take back the family property. Then I will double the amount." Sent to you..."

"Immortal, I've spent a lot of money at Taoist temples in the past few years. Considering our old friendship, give me a chance. I'll bring my in-laws here as well. His family is rich..."

The boy smiled and said:

"Since a few families didn't take advantage of it for a while, you might as well come back next time."

"Our friendship is a friendship, but refining this elixir is not easy, and you can't do it with nothing!"

"As for bringing other people over, whether those people can see the elixir depends on whether my temple master agrees. Not everyone is qualified to enjoy this elixir."

These non-commissioned officers who could not get the elixir felt faintly addicted and suddenly became irritable. One of them jumped up suddenly, stared at the boy with red eyes, and shouted through gritted teeth:

"You won't give it, right?"

"Then we will fight with you today!"

"Even if your Taoist temple is burned down, we still have to see the elixir today!"

At his instigation, several other people also jumped up, rolled up their arms and sleeves, and approached.

The Taoist boy had seen this kind of scene countless times. He immediately smiled disdainfully and hooked his fingers back. The big men behind him then stepped up with a grin and stretched out their thick arms. They were simply better than those other members. The thighs are thick.

When the officials saw it, they immediately withered and had no choice but to kneel down and plead again.

This time, the Taoist boy couldn't speak easily. He just flicked his sleeves and cursed in a low voice:

"You poor man should not think about elixirs!"

"Come on, throw these poor devils out of the way!"

Those big men came up immediately, like carrying chickens, and carried these pauper members to the side of the mountain road, threw them down, and then gave them a kick.

Those people lost their footing and rolled down the steep mountain path.

But it was said that after Li Gui got the treasure in Songshan Mountain, he became even more passionate and wanted to visit famous mountains, rivers, and caves and paradises.

This Laoshan Taoist priest was famous, and Li Gui had heard about it for a long time, so he came over all the way touring the mountains and rivers.

As soon as they arrived at the foot of Laoshan Mountain, several people rolled down the mountain. The first unlucky guy hit the hot wheel and fell to the ground with a bloody head.

Li Gui looked down at the unconscious guy, then pointed his hand at the remaining people and shouted:

"Ping porcelain!"

"He's definitely cheating, right?"

"There are still people who dare to touch the front of grandpa's car. They are so smart!"

In fact, Li Gui had already noticed that the few people who rolled down the mountain were badly injured. They had countless injuries all over their bodies, and even several broken bones. What was wrong with them?

However, he saw that these people were not dressed like poor people, so he didn't want to care about their life or death. They were probably just dog-eat-dog messes.

After he made a joke, he wanted to bypass a few people and go up the mountain, but he didn't expect that one of them was seriously injured and was about to die. At the last moment of his life, he finally woke up again. When he saw Li Gui going up the mountain, he thought he was also " "Elixir" lured him here, so he panted and shouted in a low voice:

"That man, don't be fooled!"

"The 'elixir' of Baiyun Temple is extremely poisonous. Once it gets on it, you can't take it off."

"If you look at the few of us here, we were originally wealthy gentry and businessmen with a vast family fortune and many wives and concubines. However, we were seduced by Huang Liangzi's treacherous ways and poisoned by the 'elixir', and everything became uncontrollable."

"Now that we have lost our families and lost our wives and children, you must not follow in my footsteps."

As the saying goes, people are good at words when they are about to die. This rich gentleman is willing to do anything for the "elixir", but now many bones in his body are broken, internal organs are bleeding profusely, and blood foam is pouring out from his mouth, and he is about to die at the sight of it. He lived and did good deeds.

He was about to die, and his words were so angry that if Li Gui hadn't had good hearing, he wouldn't have been able to hear what he said.

"Tsk!"

"What a mouthful!"

After hearing this man's words, Li Gui immediately stopped going up the mountain and turned to look at this man.

Li Gui is not a good person, but if someone treats him well, he will definitely repay it.

This man's kind thoughts before he died actually saved his own life.

With a snap of his fingers, Li Gui diverted a sliver of precious blue luck and saved this man's life.

Although cyan luck can now be created artificially, not everyone is eligible to enjoy it.

The man coughed a few times and vomited out the blood in his lungs. Although his bones still needed a doctor to reset, his life was safe.

Feeling that the injuries inside his body were gradually improving, the officer didn't know that he had met a real master. He hurriedly struggled to get up and knelt down, kowtow to Li Gui to thank him.

"Old husband Lin Changhua, thank you Immortal for saving my life!"

"I dare to ask the immortal Gao's name. I will place a memorial tablet for my benefactor at home. From now on, I will chant sutras and pray for my benefactor every night."

Li Gui didn't sign up either, he just waved his hand impatiently.

"That's all. I just saved you because I was in a good mood, so I don't need you to thank me." "Tell me, what happened to the elixir?"

"But this treasure created by the Taoist priest from Laoshan Mountain?"

When Lin heard this, he felt sad and kowtowed:

"My benefactor, don't believe those rumors. They are not elixirs at all, but poisonous pills!"

"I believed this rumor and was deceived by my friends. I went to the Baiyun Temple on the mountain to seek the elixir."

"When you first take the elixir, you will feel as if you are in a fairyland. But as time goes by, you will find that you can't live without this elixir for a day."

"When I first found out about this, I went to the yamen to report to the officials. But now that Laizhou is in war, the officials in the yamen are changing like a revolving door. Today they are from the Song Dynasty, tomorrow they are from the Liangshan bandits, and the next day they are from the Song Dynasty. Take Song back."

"When Song officials took office, they only wanted to collect taxes. When Liangshan thieves took office, they only wanted to divide the fields. Who cares about this little Baiyun Temple?"

"Originally I heard that the Liangshan thieves wanted to start a Zhenjun sect and demolish all the Taoist temples on the mountain, but then they disappeared without a trace. Obviously they are unreliable."

After hearing this, Li Gui looked a little annoyed.

This was all done by the original batch of "temporary workers" who came from various places. It had nothing to do with Liangshan, but after all, he had the name of Liangshan, and if others wanted to scold him, he could only accept it.

Lin Yuanwai continued:

"I was still sane at that time, so I went to the Taiqing Palace to ask for help, hoping that the immortals in the palace could help me detoxify, but the talisman water I asked for was of no use after drinking, and it was still unbearable."

"Later I found out that the thieves in Baiyun Temple were quite good at doing things. They spent most of the money they earned on things."

"Not only the Taoist priests in the Taiqing Palace, but also the Taoist priests in the Shangqing Palace, Taiping Palace, and even the Jiugong Baguan Seventy-Two Nunnery have also taken care of it, so no one makes the decision for us."

"As the toxicity became more severe, I just wanted to take the pill and no longer wanted to ask for help."

At this point, the toxicity in his body was vaguely about to break out again, making his body twitch involuntarily.

"Sir, please save me..."

Lin Yuwai trembled and stretched out his hands to Li Gui for help, his eyes filled with hope.

"Tsk..."

Li Gui picked up a handful of tooth flower seeds with his tongue, which was a bit big.

He knew what this thing was as soon as he heard it, and he also knew that there was no solution or cure for it!

Especially the most annoying thing about this thing is the addiction!

Even if someone in future generations successfully comes out of a drug rehabilitation center, he cannot be allowed to encounter this thing again, otherwise he will definitely fall into the abyss again!

This guy who was just rescued... is already useless!

"There is no cure for your poison, and I can't save you!"

Li Gui announced the result directly to Lin Yuanwai. Lin Yuanwai's eyes immediately darkened, but a moment later, Lin Yuanwai called out eagerly:

"The Immortal has never seen this thing before, so he said this."

"I can take the immortal to the Baiyun Temple. The immortal will buy one and try it. I will definitely be able to find a cure."

"As long as I take one pill, the toxicity in my body can be suppressed for a day. When I grow up, I can slowly study the antidote."

What a stupid approach!

Li Gui frowned after hearing this, and was about to refute what he said, but suddenly saw Lin Yuanwai's eyes flickering, and suddenly realized that it was not that Lin Yuanwai didn't know this method, but was deliberately trying to drag him into the water!

Since there is no cure for this poison, then just continue taking pills!

"Thief!"

"I had good intentions to save you, but you actually came to harm me!"

Li Gui suddenly became furious, jumped up, and beat the Zhongshan wolf into a pulp with one punch, with blood and flesh smeared all over the floor.

Sure enough, once this person gets involved in gambling, he will no longer be a human being!

Li Gui glanced at the remaining people, and no longer cared about their lives, he directly stepped on the hot wheel and went up the mountain to find bad luck in Baiyun Temple.

This Baiyun Temple is not a Taoist temple, and its location on the top of the mountain is not a geomantic treasure. It just found a spacious and flat ground near the mountain road, built a Taoist temple, and surrounded it with a wall.

This Taoist temple relies on its "elixir" to fool people. It targets wealthy local gentry and merchants and does not accept ordinary pilgrims at all. It cannot compete with the other nine palaces, eight temples and seventy-two nunneries. Most of the money was distributed, so I settled down here and made a fortune.

Li Gui arrived in front of the door and strode in. The Taoist boy hurriedly came to stop him.

"Hey, hey... who are you? Is this the place you should come to?"

A group of big men behind him flexed their arm muscles and came closer. Then they looked up at Li Gui's ferocious face and his steel-like torso. They were a little frightened and didn't dare to act arrogantly.

Just as he was hesitating, he saw Li Gui grabbing the boy's head and pressing his back with his other hand. He exerted force with both arms and heard the crisp sound of broken bones mixed with the dull sound of flesh and blood being squeezed. The child's head and spine were pulled out, and blood spurted out, splattering on the bluestone in the Taoist temple.

"what……"

The child howled miserably, his voice hoarse and sharp, but he was not dead for a while.

His exposed spine was blown by the cold wind, and every breeze turned into thousands of invisible knives, piercing into the gaps between his exposed vertebrae where the nerve endings were still sensitive, triggering waves of violent convulsions, and painful ripples along the The damaged nerve fibers reached the center at the speed of light, making him feel as if he was in an abyss of hellfire and ice.

His face was severely spasmed due to extreme pain, his features were squeezed into a ball, and his expression was distorted beyond recognition.

His eyelids could no longer be closed at all, and his pupils spread like black holes, losing the ability to focus. He could only stare blankly ahead, reflecting his endless despair, extreme panic, and helplessness.

A variety of emotions intertwined together, it was like falling into hell on earth.

"Great look!"

"If you dare to touch poison, you deserve to go to hell!"

Li Gui was very satisfied with his work, so he was reluctant to throw it away. Instead, he held it in his hand and continued to stride forward.

The thugs were so frightened that they turned around and ran away, only to be cut into pieces by the invisible wind blade flying behind them and scattered on the ground.

Li Gui crossed the front hall on the muddy and bloody road and saw a small flower bed on both sides of the road in the backyard. In the flower bed, the same kind of exotic flowers were blooming in the morning light.

These flowers are colorful, red like fire, white like snow, and pink like clouds. There are crystal dewdrops on the delicate petals, which shine charmingly in the sun, showing their unique charm.

At first glance, these flowers look like poppies. Each one is graceful and graceful. The slender stems hold up the beautiful blooming flowers. The petals are in full bloom and have clear layers. There is also a faint fragrance floating in the air, which makes people feel happy. When people hear it, they feel relaxed and happy, forgetting worldly worries.

But Li Gui had already made up his mind and recognized at a glance that this plant with a gorgeous, enchanting appearance and fragrant smell was actually a poppy!

As soon as Li Gui flipped his hand, a fire dragon jumped out and fell straight into the flower bed, igniting the harmful poison.

Originally, flowers contained a lot of water and were not easy to burn, but the fire dragon activated by Li Gui was not an ordinary flame.

This flame was like a greedy beast, instantly devouring every inch of soil, every leaf, and every branch in the flower bed.

The flowers that originally bloomed with attractive colors quickly withered in the fire, curled up and deformed in the raging flames, and quickly turned into ashes.

This is the lifeblood of the Taoist temple, and people are paying attention to it all the time. Seeing the fire here, people immediately rushed out from nearby houses and shouted for help.

"It's on fire, come and put out the fire..."

"The flower field is on fire..."

Li Gui was determined to eradicate the roots. He urged again and sent out several more fire dragons, shooting out in all directions.

The already raging fire became more and more violent, suddenly expanding outward and encompassing the surrounding buildings.

At this time, in the guest room at the back of Baiyun Temple, all the pilgrims were taking elixirs.

They were lying on the couch, using unique pipes and puffing away smoke. Looking from a distance, they thought there was a fire here too!

When they heard someone calling outside, the group of people, half awake, pointed at the green smoke lingering in the house and laughed. No one fled outside.

But the servants who were serving him did not dare to stay, and even dragged their own servants out.

Li Gui stood next to the flower garden, killing each one as they came over. Once he killed the person, he threw the body directly into the fire and burned it.

The servants did not dare to step forward and fled back in panic, trying to escape through the back door, but found that the courtyard behind was also ablaze with flames.

The way out has been cut off long ago, and they have no way to escape.

"Hero, spare your life!"

"I have ten thousand taels of silver, which I am willing to give to the heroes. I just ask the heroes to show mercy!"

A Qingguan Yuyi was covered in cold sweat, hiding far away, shouting loudly for mercy.

As soon as Li Gui saw it, he knew that this guy was the temple master Huang Liangzi. With a casual move, he released another fire dragon and turned Huang Liangzi into charcoal.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and when the Baiyun Temple was about to be burned down with people and buildings, there was a sudden thunder and heavy rain poured down, and the fire was extinguished.

Li Gui looked up and saw that the dark cloud was only a few feet in diameter and was just floating above the White Cloud Temple. A little further out, the ground was not wet at all. He immediately knew that someone was causing trouble.

Li Gui was immediately furious. He raised his hand and a gust of wind blew away the dark cloud above his head. Then he yelled in the direction of Taiqing Palace on the mountain:

"Thief!"

"The Laoshan bandit said, get out and die!"
