The two walked out of the water pavilion and walked along the corridor to the front yard.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the young man who made flowers continued to ask: "Hey, have you met your baby Xiaohua? Does he still remember you?"

Lian Zhu Xian was afraid that he would talk too much later, so he took the initiative to confess: "I remember, but he said that he regarded me as a girl before, I don't believe it."

"Girl? I said why did he protect you everywhere at that time, no wonder no wonder!" The young man secretly clapped his hands.

"It's hard for you!" Lian Zhuxian warned him again: "You must not mention this matter later, or you will be killed if you don't discuss it!"

During the conversation, the two had already reached the front yard.I saw Feng Zhangjun standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, carefully studying a vine hanging upside down from a tree.It is full of exquisite flowers in the shape of a hanging bell, which are colorful.

"This plant is called Love Flower, and it is the material for making Love Gu." The young man took the initiative to talk with a smile.

Only then did Feng Zhangjun turn his head to look at them: "Is there really a love gu in the world?"

"Everything that people want to have, even if they don't have it, there will be." After speaking, the young man raised his hand and bowed: "I am Lin Ziqing, the patriarch of the Medicine School of the Five Immortals Sect. Immortals can also call me Medicine Master or Ah Qing."

Listening to his self-introduction to the mountain gate, Feng Zhangjun seemed to recall something: "Ah Qing? Could it be that you were the one back then..."

"Yes, it's the little Ah Qing who pestered you to beg for sweets back then!" Pharmacist Lin Ziqing smiled, "Xianjun really has a good memory."

Unexpectedly, I met an old friend again. Compared with today and night, even Feng Zhangjun couldn't help sighing: "At that time, you were not as tall as this stone table, and you always cried."

Ah Qing also laughed and said, "Isn't it? She has no food, no clothes, is beaten all the time, and almost became human flesh soup. No one would be able to laugh."

Seeing their intimacy, Lian Zhu Xian coughed lightly and interrupted: "The master has been busy with affairs for several days, he returned late last night, and is still resting now. Since the Cungu Hall is under the jurisdiction of the Medicine Sect, the pharmacist and I are the immortals." You lead the way, please."

After speaking, without waiting for Feng Zhangjun's reaction, he turned around and led the way.

-

The Gu Hall was built in the middle of a wetland called "Luoxing Marsh", which is the lowest place in the Valley of Five Immortals.

From a distance, Luoxing Marsh looks like a huge bowl, with a layer of water at the bottom of the "bowl", and thick black silt at the bottom of the water.

In places where the water is slightly shallower, poisonous aquatic shrubs and poisonous trees grow, and the surrounding miasma is dense, blocking out the sky and the sun.

The only way for the outside world to reach the Gu Hall is the suspension bridge across Luoxing Marsh.Before going on the bridge, Lian Zhuxian asked Feng Zhangjun again: "Have you ever felt unwell?"

Feng Zhangjun shook his head: "Nothing, very good."

The pharmacist Ah Qing saw the clues at the side: "Could it be that Mr. Feng Zhang didn't take the detoxification pill before entering the valley?"

Lian Zhu Xian explained: "I gave it, but he didn't want it."

Feng Zhangjun shook his head: "It's okay."

Ah Qing looked at the two of them left and right, and hooked the corners of her mouth: "If you feel unwell later, you can lean on my side. I have been practicing medicine for many years, and I have a scent of medicine on my body, although it is not as good as the detoxification pill , but it can also make people feel better."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lian Zhu Xian's eyes piercing, full of resentment.Although I thought it was fun, I didn't dare to make more teasing.

After explaining the important matters, the three of them stepped onto the suspension bridge.

After walking a few steps, Feng Zhangjun heard the sound of rushing water in the miasmatic and confused swamp, as if some living creature was lurking over and watching their actions.

"Those are poisonous snakes and crocodiles." Ah Qing winked at him again, "In ancient times, there was the Huanlong clan, a small official who raised dragons for the emperor. But in fact, they didn't raise dragons, but crocodiles. Xianjun used to Ever seen a crocodile?"

Although he felt that he was making noise, Feng Zhangjun nodded.

Ah Qing asked again: "Then how big is the crocodile you have seen?"

"One zhang."

"Only one zhang?" Ah Qing burst out laughing, "Since you're here, please let me invite you to see the big flood dragon of our Five Immortals Sect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lian Zhuxian stopped him sharply: "Don't mess around!"

But it was already too late - just hearing Ah Qing's whistle, there was an instant commotion in the swamp.The surface of the water boiled like a boil, and even the suspension bridge began to shake.

Lian Zhu Xian, who was standing at the front, knew something was wrong, turned around hastily, and raised his wide smock sleeves to protect Feng Zhangjun's face.

It's too late to say it.There was a loud "crash", and in the swamp less than ten feet to the right of the suspension bridge, a three or four feet long giant crocodile jumped up and fell heavily!

In an instant, the water splashed, the mud splashed, and the suspension bridge swayed unceasingly, like a small boat in the turbulent waves.

Now even Ah Qing knew it was bad, so she hurriedly sent another whistle to order Ah Fatty to swim away.

When the water was gone, Lian Zhu Xian asked Feng Zhangjun nervously: "Did the poisonous water get into your eyes?"

"...It's okay." Feng Zhangjun was well protected by Lian Zhuxian, he shook his head, but found that Lian Zhuxian was splashed with pool water, his hat was crooked, and a few strands of black hair were hanging wet In front of the forehead, the pale face was even stained with mud, which was really pitiful.

By the time Fengzhangjun reacted, he had already stretched out his hand to straighten the crown hat for Zhu Xian, and wiped off a few mud spots on his face, his fingertips finally rested on the dark red spots under the corners of his eyes.

I wiped it twice, but it didn't come off.

Lian Zhuxian finally came back to his senses, and explained in a low voice, "This is...uh...a mole."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Zhangjun took his hand back and continued to remain expressionless.

The scene was a bit awkward for a while, but fortunately Lian Zhuxian reacted very quickly, and immediately turned his head and glared fiercely at Lin Ziqing who caused the trouble: "What nonsense!!"

Ah Qing also knew she was in the wrong, so she hurriedly apologized, and before Lian Zhu Xian could reprimand her, she took the initiative to run to the front and lead the way.

At the end of the suspension bridge is a small island in the center of Luoxing Marsh, and the Cungu Hall is the only building on the island.This is a sacred place in the religion, even Lin Ziqing, who was clamoring all the way, finally calmed down.

Different from the lightweight bamboo buildings that can be seen everywhere in the valley, the Cun Gu Hall is more like a Buddhist pagoda.The eaves of the green glazed tower weigh heavily on the red body of the tower, stacked nine stories up and down, which looks thick, gloomy, and even a little ominous.

According to Lin Ziqing's introduction, the Five Immortals Sect is divided into several different sects such as the Medicine Sect, the Gu Sect, and the Poison Sect.But almost all the disciples of the Five Immortals have dabbled in Gu Art to some extent.And from the day of completion of the study, disciples must keep a copy of life-protecting Gu in the storage Gu hall.On the one hand, it is convenient to verify the identity, and on the other hand, it is also convenient for the fusion research of the younger generations.

Not only that, after most of the disciples of the Five Immortals Sect passed away, the life-protecting Gu would be sealed into the Gu Hall and disappear from the world.

Lin Ziqing opened the locked hall door, and a darkness flooded in front of her eyes, with a gloomy and cold feeling, like a natural cave, which made people feel vigilant.

After the door of the hall was fully opened, Feng Zhangjun finally saw the interior furnishings clearly - this should be the main hall of Xiangtang, which is quite similar to the Taoist temples in the Central Plains: a gorgeous shrine stands in the center, and a huge lantern is hung from the beams of the roof. On the walls on both sides, there are murals with unknown themes.

Lin Ziqing stepped forward and lit the candles on both sides of the confession case, and the two balls of golden light flickered brightly.Barely illuminated the god table placed in the center of the confession.

"Tai Su Patriarch"

Feng Zhangjun crossed the altar and looked forward, and saw that the treasure tent in the shrine was hanging low. What was enshrined in the tent was not the usual golden statues in other places, but a gorgeous golden box, the whole body was chiseled and made of five-color gemstones. Curly pattern.

He asked Lian Zhuxian in a low voice: "What's in the box?"

Lian Zhuxian shook his head: "I don't know, I just know it's a relic of the patriarch."

Over there, Lin Ziqing had already taken out the incense sticks and distributed them to Lian Zhu Xian and Feng Zhangjun.The three of them lit their own fires and enshrined them in the incense burner of the divine table.Lin Ziqing and Lian Zhuxian also knelt down to worship and recited words of blessing.

After the ceremony was completed, Lian Zhuxian took out a bamboo tube from the Qiankun pouch, dripped blood into the tube, put a pinch of burnt incense ash into it, and tapped the bamboo tube on the floor in front of the altar three times.

Immediately, there was movement in the bamboo tube.

A thin black line crawled out, fell to the floor, and began to meander in one direction.

No need to explain, Feng Zhangjun, the only layman, also saw it: these are the Gu worms that Lian Zhuxian got from the corpse last night, and wherever they crawled to the Gu hall, there is the same life-protecting Gu hidden there.

The truth is about to come out.The three of them remained silent, watching the Gu worm's every move with full attention.

Although these Gu worms are small, their speed is not slow.In a blink of an eye, he has left the main hall and entered the side hall on the right.

The furnishings here are completely different from those in the main hall: the whole room is filled with huge ebony medicine cabinets that tower above the sky, and each drawer is equipped with a shop head and nameplate, or gold, silver or copper, obviously with different ranks.

Lin Ziqing explained that these are all disciples of the Immortal Sect who are still alive, there are a total of 610 three.He also specifically pointed out the drawer that belonged to Lian Zhu Xian, with a gold nameplate and a gold shop head, staying quietly in the corner, which is somewhat similar to his personality.

The corpses were all placed in Yuncang, so of course it was impossible for Gu to come from a living person—as expected, the Gu worm quickly crawled across this room and entered another side hall.

Lin Ziqing said that from that room onwards, it was the domain of the dead.

There is no exquisite medicine cabinet in this side hall, but tall and spacious wooden shelves instead.On the shelf are huge pottery vessels shaped like gourds.The small head on the top is covered with white powder, and then a cheek is carefully traced with ink and cinnabar.The big head below draws the clothing.

Lin Ziqing said, these are ashes figurines, and the life-protecting Gu is hidden in the figurines.

Fengzhang-Jun took a closer look and found that the facial features, hairstyles and even clothing of these terracotta figurines are all different, with different beauty and ugliness, and differences between men and women. They are obviously drawn according to the characteristics of the Gu owner during his lifetime.

The side hall was cold and dead silent, and being stared at by hundreds of urn figurines was really creepy.

Feng Zhangjun asked in a low voice: "Are the ashes and Gu poison kept together?"

"There are no ashes in the figurines." Lian Zhuxian's answer was somewhat surprising: "The best container for life-protecting Gu is the human body. After death, cremation, the ashes are mixed with china clay, medicinal herbs, and spring water, pounded into mud, and burned out. Pot-shaped. During life, Gu is in the abdomen; after death, Gu is still in the abdomen."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became cold and silent, and no one spoke.

The author has something to say:

Lin Ziqing: It's exciting to run away after teasing

Lian Zhuxian: The little bastard is tired of living

Xuan Tong: Have you two had enough quarrels?

Feng Zhangjun: It turns out that Love Gu is a tourist souvenir of the Five Immortals Sect

Fat Crocodile: Oh, I’m cute or Mrs. Big Tail is cute
