In the past, the king of Qin.
Seeking longevity, group boys and girls, and go out to sea to find fairy mountains.
There is a miasma of smoke everywhere, and everyone is sad. "Patriarch, is this okay?" the people below asked.
The white-haired old man sighed softly, "This is the last furnace, if this one is not successful, then we really have to..."
"Father!" A young man came in from outside the medicine hut, and the servants left quickly.
The white-haired old man turned his head and looked at him, "Why did you come in? I didn't tell you to get ready. If you really can't do it, you should go first. It doesn't matter if you go to the sea or live in seclusion in the mountains. Don't stay here anymore, or you will die sooner or later. "
"That's not necessarily the case!" The young man walked from the dark to the light, and the firelight at the furnace set off his facial features with sharp edges and corners.
The face is crowned like jade, the eyes are deep, the bridge of the nose is high and straight, the thin lips are slightly raised, and there is a bit of willfulness, and the eyebrows and eyes are naturally romantic. He stood like a jade, and looked at his father firmly, "Perhaps, if some different things are added, there will be different effects."
The old man was puzzled, "What is different? What is different? Xu Zhan, you can't act rashly. Some things are taboo and you must not touch them, otherwise you will suffer backlash and retribution!"
"Father, why not? There are so many recipes in our Xu family, and some things can be reborn as long as they are developed and refined again. King Qin wants this thing, if we can't give it, we will die!" The young man argued.
Father and son have always had such temperaments, one was more stubborn than the other, and the other was more stubborn than the other, and in the end neither of them would give in.
"Xu Zhan!" The old man gritted his teeth, "Things that cannot be touched, even death cannot be touched. Do you know that when some things are destroyed, there is a reason why he must be destroyed. You don't need to say any more! Get out!"
"father!"
"Get out!"
Gritting his teeth, the young man left the medicine house with a dark face.
In the evening, people came from the palace. After some inspections, they reprimanded the Xu family members, saying that the boys and girls were ready, and when they turned around, they had to pack up and set off, and then went to the distant sea to look for the fairy mountain. When it comes to immortals, if they can't make the elixir of life, the members of the Xu clan are waiting to die without a whole body!
The clansmen stared wide-eyed in horror.
That look is no less than the fear of a knife resting on his neck.
But so what
The emperor's order is like a mountain, and those who violate it... will die without a whole body.
The whole family!
"father!"
"shut up!"
The old man closed the door of the medicine hut heavily, looking at the bubbling Gu furnace, he also had entanglements and struggles in his heart, but in the end reason overcame everything. He is evil and vicious, and if he really puts it into practice, even he himself does not know what terrible things will happen.
If the Xu family is destroyed, it is only the destruction of the family, but if it endangers the common people, there will be no atonement for his sins.
cannot!
Absolutely not!
Putting the bamboo slips away, the old man shook his head, and stayed in the medicine hut in silence for a long time, probably feeling bored, he quietly left the medicine hut in the dead of night.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left, someone came.
In the dark, someone carried a sack into the medicine shed quickly, only heard two "dong dong", and I don't know what was thrown into the Gu furnace, but for some reason, the Gu furnace didn't respond.
In this way, for three consecutive days, people threw things into the Gu furnace.
What exactly was lost, no one knows.
until three days later...
"Patriarch, my child has been looking for it for two days. He thought he had entered the mountain, but he didn't come back. Is there something in the mountain? It wants to eat people?"
"But there are no wolves or tigers around here. We have all looked for them. There can't be anything that eats people!"
"Patriarch, my niece obviously slept well last night, but she disappeared for some reason!"
The old man frowned, "How long have you been looking for? How many have you lost? How many men? How many women?"
He has been living in the medicine hut, and he wants to refine the elixir, so he doesn't know what happened outside in the past few days. Now that so many children are missing, he immediately raised his heart.
Others don't know why, but he knows it.
Boys and girls
It's fine if they are ordinary men and women, but their clan is quite different. Due to the legacy of their ancestors, occasionally there will be people with extraordinary talents, so the children in the clan will inevitably be a little different from ordinary people.
It was finally discovered that within three days, three virgin boys and three virgin girls had been lost in the clan!
The old man's hands were shaking, but he didn't say a word.
He knew what it meant, but he couldn't say it, and he didn't dare to say it. He just looked at his son thoughtfully, lowered his eyelids guiltyly, and hunched his body slightly, "I know about this, you continue to look for him." Find it, I will find a way!"
After everyone went down, Xu Zhan stepped forward, "Father!"
"Nizi!" With a slap in the face, the old man could hardly stand up, and even his breathing became short of breath, "How can you do such a thing? As I said, you can't use those heretical ways! The elixir of life refined by evil ways can't be used. Can it be regarded as immortal? That is evil spirits and evil! If I harm the common people in the future, I will be the most sinful person in the world!"
"Father!" Xu Zhan yelled, covering his face with a sneer, "If all the clansmen are dead, do you still think your stubbornness is meaningful? If you die, no one will think you are great, and no one will appreciate you, and the clansmen But he will hate you. The time limit given by the King of Qin is coming soon, going to sea is undoubtedly a dead end, you don’t know what’s going on outside, right?”
"Then I would rather die!" The old man walked away in a huff.
Touching the sore cheek, Xu Zhan looked fiercely, "My fate is up to me, do you think you can really stop me?"
Don't think about it!
In the next few days, the old man was summoned into the palace by the King of Qin, probably because he was worried that something might happen to the medicine house, so he specially ordered his clansmen to guard it carefully. But if the young master goes in, who can stop him
In four days, four pairs of boys and girls disappeared.
When the old man comes back, it's too late, it's too late to be together.
There are faint blue flames constantly bursting out of the Gu furnace, and the elixir in the Gu furnace is about to be refined, that is to say... At this moment, even the old man can't do anything.
In the ears are the cries of children, and in the eyes are the smiles of a victor.
"You deliberately asked King Qin to push me away..." the old man's voice was trembling.
"Actually, you can stop it, but you don't, because I am your son, your own son. You can't afford to lose this man, and you dare not tell the truth. You are afraid that you will end up with no offspring. I am your only son. If I die, you will have no successors, and you will have no descendants." Xu Zhan smiled viciously, "Your connivance is enough to show your cowardice and incompetence. Dad, in fact, you also want to pay these things. Put it into practice, but you dare not!"
The old man stared at him with scarlet eyes, but he was so helpless.
"I just did what you wanted to do but didn't dare!" Xu Zhan stroked his handsome face, "Dare you say you don't have any thoughts? Do you dare say you never thought of doing this? The so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality , that was just for the world to hear, who made you take it seriously?"
"How did you become like this?" The old man gritted his molars, "You will be punished for doing this!"
"Retribution?" Xu Zhan shook his head, "You are the one who gets retribution, and I am probably your retribution, but... I will also be your lucky star, and you will know how perfect the result will be after this furnace is opened. The bamboo slips It is recorded in the above that feeding Gu worms with virgin boys and girls can make them immortal. Don’t you want yourself to live forever?”
The old man tensed up, "People should follow the way of heaven, whether they live forever or not die, it is against the way of heaven, and they will be punished by heaven!"
"My life is up to me, Dad, I'm not you, those things can't help me, I will succeed soon!" Xu Zhan stood beside the Gu stove, "When the elixir of life is refined, I will no longer be Xu Zhan. Zhan, I want to be Xu Tianming."
Your own life is your own decision!
The old man trembled and pointed at him speechless, "You, you bastard!"
"I'm not only a rebellious son, but also against the sky. If you say that the way of heaven cannot be violated, I will show you against the sky. Dad, do you feel very excited?" Xu Zhan has a crazy, neurotic expression, which is incomparable with his handsome His face was almost in the opposite direction, "Don't get too excited, or you won't be able to take it when the Gu furnace is turned on!"
"you you… "
Suddenly there was a sound from the Gu furnace, and the furnace cover slowly and automatically opened.
The old man rushed up at the first moment, lying on the edge of the Gu stove, brushing away the thick blood mist with a flick of his sleeve.
Xu Zhan was not in a hurry, he stood beside the Gu furnace, opposing the old man.
It was so quiet all around.
"Look!" Xu Zhan sneered, "It's about to come out!"
The blood mist gradually dissipated, and the strong smell of blood permeated the entire medicine hut, which made people feel nauseous.
Under the Gu furnace, there are two fat worms wriggling.
This was beyond Xu Zhan's expectation, obviously only one Gu was put in, why did it end up with two Gu
"One Gu twins?" The old man hesitated for a moment.
The two worms suddenly curled up into a ball, each forming a ball.
After the blood mist dissipated completely, the Gu Pill shrank to the size of a grape seed.
Xu Zhan reached out and snatched one. If the old man hadn't had quick eyes and hands, he might not be able to keep the other one.
"Put it down!" the old man yelled.
"Father! This thing is mine!" Xu Zhan suddenly stuffed the thing into his mouth, and rushed out of the window without saying a word.
"Come back!" The old man chased after him.
The news that the Gu Furnace was opened, of course, could not be concealed from King Qin in the palace. Before dawn, the entire Xu clan was detained, waiting for the patriarch and the young master to show up and hand over the elixir of life.
No one knew whether the elixir of life was refined or failed, only that the patriarch and the young master disappeared together.
According to the clan members who were on duty that night, the clan leader was chasing after the young master, but no one knew what happened.
The king of Qin couldn't get the elixir, so he slaughtered one person a day!
The blood of the Xu family is all over the ground.
But even so, neither the Xu family's patriarch nor the young master appeared.
The old man searched all over the place and knew that the elixir of immortality could not be handed over to King Qin. This king is easy to kill. If he is really immortal, he is afraid that it will bring disaster to the world and he will be a sinner forever.
But if he doesn't go back, all members of the Xu clan will be killed.
Two phases struggle, difficult to choose.
If he didn't find his son, he didn't find the other half of the Gu Wan, so what if he went back? Let that kid go outside, maybe something will happen.
Who knows, before he has made a decision, Xu Zhan has already made the decision.
Like a lunatic who lost his normal instincts, the Xu family was completely wiped out overnight. A large number of poisonous insects, snakes and ants completely wiped out the Xu family. It was as if all thoughts and worries were cut off. them.
After the Xu clan was destroyed, King Qin passed away. After that, the son of King Qin succeeded to the throne and no longer entangled in the issue of the elixir of life. The weird thing was quietly covered up.
The old man originally planned to collect the corpses, but in the end, he didn't even see the corpses of his clansmen. With the experience and lessons from the previous time, he knew why!
The death of the Xu family was so tragic that no one in the entire village dared to step into it easily.
When the old man turned back, he found that Xu Zhan had returned. This time he was even crazier. He took the bones of the Xu clan to refine Gu, and threw them all into the Gu furnace. That kind of insanity was beyond the realm of human beings. .
Cruel and merciless to the point of death, so vicious and ruthless, what kind of person is he
The old man didn't know what Xu Zhan was practicing, but he knew that he was definitely not a kind person. The only person in the world who could stop him was himself, his father!
During that battle of the medicine hut, Xu Zhan was nailed to the medicine hut with a scepter until he lost his breath. The old man took out the things in his body, took the ordinary things refined in the gu refining furnace, and stayed away from this place.
It's just that no one thought that the things in Xu Zhan's body could not be taken away so easily. Earthworms could be broken into several pieces so that they could escape.
Xu Zhan did not die, from now on, he is Xu Tianming, no longer controlled by anyone.
It's just that the part of the Gu that was taken away must be taken back to be considered complete, otherwise every other round, he would have to suffer the pain of backlash from the Gu insect, which made him very unhappy.
The Xu clan in the royal city was destroyed, while the exiled Xu clan passed on, changing their names and surnames, and they were no longer the Xu clan. It can be Korean, it can be Lee, various surnames, I just hope it can survive.
These people are very talented, and they are highly valued in every dynasty and generation, but they are also feared by the superiors. In the end, they will either be hunted down or end up with dead bodies. Over time, there has been a rule in the clan that they will no longer enter the court to be in power.
Until one day, the old man brought Phoenix Gu to the current patriarch of the guardian clan.
For some reason, the secret of longevity began to spread again. In desperation, the guardians took this secret into the mountains and forests. The other part of the clan protectors went outside the pass and became the witch clan of Ying Kingdom, and later became the witch doctor clan of Ying Kingdom.
This phoenix Gu was originally refined from Xu Tianming's unrefined Gu, so it is both good and evil.
During the years of raising Phoenix Gu, something similar to the thing in Xu Tianming's body was born. This thing is extremely evil, lifeless and deathless, and it is called soul-returning Gu. The guardians had no choice but to find their ancestors again and pray for a way to save them.
The old man originally thought that if Xu Tianming was killed, he took out his Gu and destroyed it, then it would be impossible for this thing to reappear in the human world. Now that such a wicked thing has been regenerated, he knows that his son must not be dead, and if this thing reappears in the world, it is inevitable Will look for the source and make Xu Tianming more evil and ruthless.
In desperation, the old man used the technique of controlling the soul-returning Gu to suppress the soul-returning Gu, and the guardians joined forces with the elders to send the soul-returning Gu out of the customs and hand it over to the witch clan.
The Wu Clan used the City of the Setting Sun to combine the power of the whole city to suppress the soul-returning Gu, making it trapped in the desert forever, unable to escape. Restore the prestige of the past.
The phoenix Gu is covered with a veil of mystery. Everyone says that the guardian has the most precious treasure and can live forever.
How many people went on and on, just wanting to find the residence of the guardians, but they all returned in vain.
The forest is either lost or wild beasts are rampant, there is no way to find it...
Until later, Xu Tianming appeared.
The witch clan has been weakened, and it is impossible to open the altar if they want to open the city of the setting sun.
Furthermore, if he wants to go to the desert, the things in Xu Tianming's body cannot withstand the sun like that, unless his body temperature drops to the lowest and he appears in the desert as a dead person, then those little guys hiding in his body can hold on. Go to the desert.
It's really boring to live for a long time without an opponent.
Xu Tianming felt that he should find something to do, for example... the remaining clansmen, for him, these clansmen are his containers. Even his own body was borrowed.
When the old man killed him back then, he was considered dead once, and his body was eaten away by the Gu worms in the end, so it is no longer usable. Like the later Han Busu, he managed to find the most suitable body by fighting poison with poison to maintain his broken body.
The difference between the Witch Clan and the Guardian Clan is actually very simple. The Guardian Clan practiced serious Gu techniques, while the Witch Clan used the partial method, which was very similar to him back then. At that time, the Wu Clan and the Guardian Clan hadn't been completely separated, but they disagreed, and separation was a matter of time.
What's more wonderful is that this body has pure blood, which is really a rare and good host body.
He also tried to go to the desert, but unfortunately he couldn't stand the heat in the desert in the end, and was discovered by the old man when he exited. Unfortunately, the old man killed him once, but he couldn't do it again. secondary.
Because of this, he knew that the old man had been looking for him, so he thought of an excellent way to release the contents of his body a little bit, and find a host at random. Once, no one could be found in the end.
After a long time, the old man lost his patience, and actually used the scepter that killed his son to make a clay figurine in the cave outside Heishui City, injected figurine Gu into it, and controlled it with the scepter.
As a result, Xu Tianming's plan to split the plum blossom no longer worked.
What the old man took away was a complete elixir of life, but what Xu Tianming had in his body was incomplete, that's why he wanted to refine all his clansmen into Gu to make up for his own insufficiency.
who knows...
But now, as long as he gets the Soul Rejuvenation Gu, he no longer has to be afraid of the old man.
After the soul-returning Gu is released, the whole world will be yours!
But where is the exact location of Sunset City is indeed a problem. He has limited physical strength and energy, and it is impossible to go there alone, and he is afraid that the old man will catch up again.
After living for thousands of years, he still looks like a teenager.
Xu Tianming squatted by the river, looking at the face reflected in the river, he was really full of emotion, "It's fine if you can't die, it's a rare thing, but the more you look at this face, the more people like it!"
Get up and look around.
The mountains and forests are densely covered with wild beasts and wild fruits. In order to avoid the old man's pursuit and find the guardian of the clan, Xu Tianming felt that he was about to become a savage!
There was a woman's scream in the distance, as if a fight had started.
These ordinary people are so annoying, they fight and kill at every turn, they either kill them all, or they don't shoot, they are half-lived, the most annoying.
He didn't want to make a move, and he was too lazy to make a move.
As soon as those little guys come out, the old man will definitely find him.
Turning around to leave, a woman ran past him like crazy.
Not far away is the official road, maybe she ran up from the official road, she should be a woman from a rich family, otherwise how could such a disaster be caused
Just now, Xu Tianming could tell from that glance that this girl was born very well, with a delicate face, delicate features, and tears in the corners of her eyes.
Although it was fleeting, his eyesight was excellent, and he could see clearly the size of a pearl embedded in the toe of her shoe. The one who can afford such a good thing should be the daughter of an official.
Behind are the bandits, one by one fiercely chasing them.
Xu Tianming moved a few steps away, who knew that this group of people would not let him go, shouting, robbing the royal family, killing one is killing, it is better to kill everyone!
This is ridiculous, Xu Tianming, a monster who has lived for a long time, is still being chased and hacked by these descendants
Originally, I didn't want to start killing people today, who knows...
When he made a move, the woman who was running away was startled.
I saw this young man in front of him, with picturesque features and vigorous skills, he cleaned up people neatly without any filth on his body, and when he broke the neck of the last robber, there was blood from Mouth gush.
Xu Tianming backed away quickly. He didn't like blood, but the things in his body liked it. A feeling of displeasure surfaced in his heart, he threw the person out casually, and wiped his hands with a handkerchief in disgust.
As soon as he turned around, he just met the woman's eyes full of gratitude. That beautiful face was full of tears and stars falling from the treetops. It was really beautiful.
But Xu Tianming is not interested in women, what he wants is never these illusory things.
All women in the world are the same, what kind of affection and love do you want
Ah…
He doesn't have it.
Naturally, she doesn't bother to pester her!
"Thank you for saving my life, my lord!" The woman saluted gently.
Just now he ran in too much haste, his hair was messed up and his face was full of embarrassment. Probably because she felt ashamed, when she got up, she lowered her head subconsciously, smoothed the skirt of her body, and stroked the messy blue hair with trembling hands.
Xu Tianming didn't think much about it, just watched the hairpin on her bun was about to fall off, and grabbed a handful.
The woman was terrified, stared at him like a ghost for a moment, and backed away quickly, as if he was about to eat her.
Tightening the hairpin in his hand, Xu Tianming frowned, "I didn't do anything, and I won't do anything to you. This hairpin is yours! Return it to you!"
