Li Huowang raised the pounding rod in his hand, and smashed it into the medicine pot one after another out of boredom, slowly grinding some streamer bluestones mixed with silt into powder.
Although the cave is damp and cold, the boy is only wearing rough cloth. But he had a face full of indifference, as if he didn’t take all this seriously.
He is not the only one in the cave, there are also other men and women of the same age, with the same hair and the same coarse hemp rope.
The only difference between them and Li Huowang is that they all have obvious physical defects, including albinism and polio.
All kinds of congenital and acquired physical deformities can be found here, and the small material room cave is like a museum of deformities.
The work of these people is the same as that of Li Huowang, but the things they smash are different. There are gold stones and medicines, but it is obvious that some people do not work with peace of mind.
“Ah!” A woman’s terrified scream attracted everyone’s attention.
On the side of the cave, a fat boy with harelips showed an obscene smile on his face, trying to pull an albino girl into his arms.
“I’ll do it, I promise to do it, hehehe~”
Li Huowang ignored the noise, closed his eyes and continued to do his work bit by bit.
Hearing the woman crying more and more miserably, the annoyed Li Huowang cursed secretly, picked up the stone medicine jar with one hand and stood up.
The “Duo” stone collided with the bone, making a muffled sound.
The fat man with cleft lip and bleeding head sat on the ground in a daze, obviously stunned by the blow. Two seconds later, his expression was distorted and pained, and he started howling while covering his wound in pain.
The white-haired and fair-skinned girl who escaped her tainted fate hid behind Li Huowang in fear, clutching her clothes.
“I’ll tell you! You’re done, do you know I’m the master? Let him know, and he’ll kill you!” The fat man with cleft lips threatened with an extremely angry expression.
“What is he?
The other people present never thought that the man in front of him would dare to say such a thing.
Looking at the expressions of these so-called brothers and sisters in front of him, Li Huowang took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart.
“What’s wrong with me? How can I be angry with these things? My personality is obviously not so flamboyant. I can’t let these things affect my personality. The me just now is not the real me, calm down.”
Just as Li Huowang was still calming down, he heard someone calling him at the door.
“Junior Brother Li, Junior Sister Wang, the master calls you to wait here.” The tall young man who shouted was obviously of a different status from Li Huowang, and he was wearing a blue Taoist robe.
Although the robe looks very old, and the cuffs are washed white, it is far better than the torn linen on Li Huowang’s body.
The man held a ponytail whisk with one hand, and looked at the juniors in front of him with a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
Seeing the appearance of the young Taoist priest, the fat man with a **** head suddenly showed a happy expression. “Haha! You’re done flirting!! It’s your turn to flirt today.”
But Li Huowang completely ignored him, turned around and was about to follow a woman with a crooked mouth drooling towards the door. The woman’s face was waxy and unhealthy.
Just two steps away, he found someone tugging on his sleeve, holding him back and not letting him go. Li Huowang turned around and found that it was the albino girl who had just saved him.
With tears in her eyes, she kept shaking her head, her eyes full of fear.
Unmoved, the indifferent Li Huowang slammed his sleeves and strode forward.
Out of the material room is a larger cave. There are many other caves on the wall of the cave that are similar to the material room. Looking at the potholes, the craftsmanship of the people who built this place is obviously not very good.
The entire karst cave is very large, with large and small tunnels extending in all directions, like an enlarged version of an ant nest.
Pieces of rotten peach wood were nailed to each small karst cave knot, and the name of each cave was engraved on it with three-point force, Linggong Palace, Laolvtang, Qingzudian, and Siyudian.
A naturally formed karst cave has been repaired to look like a gymnasium.
Just as the two continued to walk along the cave, the crooked woman next to her took out a black object from her pocket, and suddenly handed it to Li Huowang, saying in that stupid voice : “Eat… dilute sugar?”
Li Huowang frowned slightly, as if he knew the other party’s stupidity, so he came over impatiently and stuffed it directly into his sleeve.
Seeing that Li Huowang took it, she also took out another piece from her pocket and stuffed it into her mouth, and continued silly, “Master, I have candy for you…”
Li Huowang didn’t intend to say anything about this, and the two continued to walk. After walking like this for about a quarter of an hour, an antique, tall alchemy furnace with a black body appeared in front of him.
The smoking cauldron only pierced the roof of the cave, and the huge pill furnace looked like a metal hill.
Looking at the alchemy furnace gradually getting bigger from far to near, and finally the shadow of the alchemy furnace directly overwhelmed him, which made Li Huowang feel very depressed.
What made him feel depressed was not only the huge five-story pill furnace, but also a figure from behind in front of the pill furnace.
From the back, he is wearing a blue Taoist robe, with a hairpin and a crown, and white hair on his temples. He looks very fairy-like.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he seemed to be doing the same thing as Li Huowang before, taking the medicine pounding rod and pounding it again and again, but it seemed that the medicine pounding rod in his hand seemed to be much bigger, looking like a giant pillar.
As one fell and the other fell, the sound of gold and stone colliding echoed continuously in the cave.
“Master…Master!” The woman with a slanted mouth clumsily pinched the thumb of her left hand with her right hand, put the four fingers of her left hand on top of the fingers of her right hand, and put her hands on her chest to bow to the back, her eyes full of respect. .
As soon as she opened her mouth, the harsh impact stopped.
As soon as his back turned around, Li Huowang’s pupils shrank slightly in shock, even though he was prepared in his heart.
The front of the Taoist priest is completely different from the back. From the back, he looks dignified and dignified, but from the front, he is an old man with a lame head, and the sporadic yellow teeth in his mouth are exposed in this way. in the air.
“Here you come? Good apprentice, let me wait.” With a wave of his dirty Taoist robe, the old Taoist rose into the air, grabbed the crooked woman’s neck with one hand and retreated.
Before the idiot woman opened her mouth to say the first half of a sentence, she was thrown into a stone urn half the height of a person in an instant. down.
Accompanied by the sound of bone shattering, the woman’s head was smashed and shriveled into a piece of paper in an instant. There was no space, and the white brain was forced to spray out from the seven orifices.
It’s not over yet, the previous impact reverberated again, and with the high lifting and heavy falling of the pounding rod, every part of the woman’s body ended up in the same way as her head.
With each knock, the flesh on the right side of Li Huowang’s face trembled violently as if being pulled.
Flesh and blood splattered on the old Taoist’s face and body, but he was unmoved and excitedly chanting something according to a certain melody.
“Ding Chou prolongs my life, Ding Hai protects my soul, Jia Zi protects my body, Jia Xu protects my body, Jia Shen solidifies my life, Jia Wu guards my soul, Jia Chen is my soul!”
After thoroughly smashing his apprentice into a pulp, he lifted the stone weng weighing several hundred catties with one hand, and poured all the puddle of mud he pounded into the alchemy furnace in front of him. Excited hands suddenly lifted into the air.
“Start the furnace, make alchemy!”
Two dao boys with exaggerated blushes came out of the shadows, fanned the wind and poured various condiments into the alchemy furnace, including various gold and stone powders and many living and wriggling things.
After a while, a strange and strong aroma filled the air. It was not any other aroma, it was the aroma of human flesh.
At this moment, after the lame-headed master closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he stroked his dirty and ugly face with few beards on his chin and showed a satisfied expression.
When he slowly opened his eyes, put his hands behind his back, and turned his head to look at Li Huowang. “I heard that you call me a fart? Is there such a thing?”
In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
Looking at the so-called master who killed people without blinking an eye in front of him, Li Huowang was unmoved, slowly closed his eyes to calm his shortness of breath, and said to himself: “You can’t fool me, it’s all fake, it’s all fake of.”
“Speak! Are you dumb? Huh?!” As the sound of the master’s footsteps got closer, the stench of blood mixed with his body came to his nostrils like a wall.
The trembling Li Huowang gritted his teeth violently, and opened his eyes with all his strength.
The cave Taoist temple, which was still dark and full of oppression just now, disappeared in an instant, and a bright and clean ward with fresh air appeared in front of him, and his lower body was tightly bound on the bed by a cloth belt.
