"Li Minghao?" The immortal old man was stunned for a moment, but he happily agreed after just a moment: "Okay, I understand. What do you want to know? Just ask. However, as for that kid's illness, to be honest, I don't know. I don’t understand it very well, otherwise I wouldn’t have fallen into the misery of these three years.”
Qin Shi nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, senior."
Immediately, he hesitated, sorted out his words and said, "Senior, do you still remember what happened when Li Minghao fell ill three years ago?"
"Well, I must remember this. After all, he is still my disciple no matter what. Although in the following years, he was busy with the government affairs in the city and rarely came to my place to practice. However, that boy was so filial and ruthless. He is a teacher and a father all his life. He really does this and treats me no differently than Li Tan. This makes me very touched."
"Of course, it may be a bit far to say this, but it is true. He will come to me on the first and fifteenth day of every month, and the three days before he fell ill happened to be July 10th three years ago. 5. Because it was the Ghost Festival and the Ghost Festival, I remember clearly that when he came to me, he already had some warning signs. His face was pale and he kept coughing. In fact, I should have discovered it earlier, so maybe he He wouldn't be in the current situation, but that day, I asked him several times, but he kept me off by saying that the heat was too strong, and since it was July, I didn't take it to heart."
"So, if he is like this now, I also have a lot of responsibility."
"Later, on the third day after he left me, news came from the city lord's palace that he was seriously ill, and this incident caused quite a stir in the Evernight City."
"His illness is very strange. I have said before that even Li Tan cannot cure it. You know, Li Tan's cultivation level is extremely high. He has already entered the second level of Tianding three years ago. Now he may have reached Above the fifth level of the sky, with his speed, it is only a matter of time before he reaches the realm."
When Qin Shi heard this, his eyes condensed slightly: "Sure enough, this Li Tan is really at the top of the sky."
Keeping this news in mind, he did not interrupt the immortal old man, but he also started thinking in his heart: "The fifth level of heaven, with that kind of strength, the original Demon Lord Li was no more than that. With my current strength, if Without the help of evil spirits, I'm afraid I can't resist even three encounters, but the city that never sleeps is not a hundred tides, and it is very close to the Chaos Realm. It seems that if you want to get the heart of the deserted earth from his hands, you can only rely on outsmarting him."
The Immortal Taoist didn't know Qin Shi's psychological changes and continued: "Li Tan's cure was ineffective. Logically speaking, it was even more impossible for me. But I thought at first that it might be a disease that could not be cured by spiritual power. I used the power of my soul to say Maybe, plus Xiao Mo, he is the descendant of the ferocious beast on the divine list: the Phoenix, and has extremely tenacious vitality."
Speaking of Xiao Mo, he was still very proud, but when he mentioned what happened next, he looked helpless and bitter: "It's just that I was still too naive. The disease was very stubborn. When I looked inside Li Minghao's body, His body has been filled with evil energy, and that evil energy is very powerful, so powerful that even I was counterattacked, and because of this, I harmed Xiao Mo and suffered for three years."
"Hey!" Xiao Mo shook his furry head and rubbed the immortal Taoist's robe vigorously, making the immortal Taoist show his emotion. Then he said: "Of course, when I suffered the backlash, I remember that suddenly from Minghao's body, It shot out an evil black shadow, which broke through the sky and dissipated in the clouds. It caused a huge strange phenomenon and shocked the whole city."
"Is there such a thing?" After hearing so much, this was the first time Qin Shi interrupted, because he knew that the key was coming: "Senior, do you still remember the appearance of that black shadow?"
The immortal old man thought for a while, but shook his head.
"I don't remember. The outer circle of the black shadow is filled with evil energy, and even my soul power cannot detect it."
"Sure enough!" Qin Shi was not surprised by this response. On the contrary, he had expected it. This made him even more sure, thinking: "It seems that Li Minghao's illness three years ago must be caused by evil spirits." It doesn't matter, the evil spirit in this old guy's body should be the residual power left by the evil demon."
"Well, just Yu Wei has such power. This evil demon must have a very high status in the demon world, and I can feel part of the evil energy that I have continuously absorbed. In this evil energy, You Ming group's odor."
"The Ming Group again?" Qin Shi's eyes turned cold and he sneered: "What a coincidence. It seems that no matter where I go, I will be inseparable from the Ming Group."
Immediately, he half-jokingly said to the blood wizard: "Blood wizard, many evil demons I encountered came from the Ming Group. Is the entire demon world controlled by the Ming Group?"
He originally thought that no matter how powerful the Ming group was, they would at most be equivalent to the eight realms of the human world, but the number was reduced. It was impossible to control the entire demon world, but the blood wizard's response made him stare. .
"Not all of them, but more than 80% of the demon world is indeed controlled by the Ming Group. After all, the leader of the Ming Group is the Zhetian Demon Lord. Although the Zhetian Demon Lord is now scattered, everyone in the demon world believes that sooner or later one day , He will be resurrected.”
Qin Shi's heart sank, this news was undoubtedly a disaster for him, but he was relieved, shook his head and smiled: "Haha, it seems that I still underestimate the Ming group, but this is okay, as the saying goes, The greater the pressure, the greater the motivation.”
The immortal old man spoke again: "This is all I know. Is there anything else you want to ask, little brother?"
Qin Shi hesitated. He also knew that he could not get any useful information from the immortal Taoist mouth, so he shook his head: "No more, but senior, I still want to ask you for something."
"If you ask, little brother, you are too polite. You saved Xiao Mo and I's lives. I heard from the memory you passed on to me before that you seemed to be looking for herbs to nourish the soul, right? I'm such a duck. The Tan Bamboo Forest has no other advantages, except for two things: one is quietness, no one disturbs it, and the other is the medicinal herbs."
"I, the Immortal Master, spent the first half of my life assisting the city that never sleeps and becoming the city lord. I was quite famous, and I found many precious medicinal herbs."
"Then in the second half of my life, the first master of Evernight City died and passed the position of city master to Li Tan. This also made me see through life and death, and understand a truth. No matter how beautiful this life is, one day it will become a trace of dust in the world. In the end, it will be nothing more than loess and white bones. , I retreated from the court, lived in seclusion here, planted the herbs I had found in the first half of my life, and cultivated them quietly, but it was a coincidence that allowed me to realize the path of the soul."
"But I'm still old, and the room for improvement is limited. You can use the spiritual herbs here as you like, just take them if you need them."
Qin Shi was immediately overjoyed, but he could tell from the fragrant green jasmine flowers before that the herbs in the bamboo forest of Yuantan were all considered to be rare treasures. If he was allowed to use them, he had absolute confidence that they would be able to use them. Break through the Seven Curses.
"In that case, I'll thank you senior first."
The immortal old man shook his head kindly: "Go ahead. With your talent, I think your future will be limitless. Being able to use my savings in this life to create a future genius will be considered an honor for me in this life." "
Speaking of this, he felt quite sad: "Originally, I wanted to leave these to my ignorant disciple, but now it seems that he has no chance to use them."
Qin Shi could feel the sadness and shook his head helplessly. It was always like this in the world. Nine times out of ten, life would be unsatisfactory. He sighed, hugged his fists at the immortal old man, and then waved to Xiaomi Cai no longer: "Little girl, let's go."
"good!"
Xiaomi Cai agreed, and immediately there was a hint of reluctance in her beautiful eyes. Qin Shi was a little confused at first, but then after taking a closer look, he realized that Xiaomi Cai had taken advantage of the conversation between the two just now. When he climbed on Xiao Mo's back, the furry Xiao Mo was already small, but now he was mounted by Xiao Mi Cai. He struggled hard in pain and had no temper at all.
"This girl!"
Qin Shi was helpless and quickly apologized to the immortal old man: "Senior, my little girl is not very sensible. I hope you won't take offense."
"I understand, I understand, I'm just a kid, just having fun." The immortal old man twitched a few times with a smile. That was his natural monster, and it was actually used as a Trojan horse to ride.
"Follow me!" Qin Shi was really ashamed. He grabbed Xiaomi Cai and said goodbye to the immortal old man. Then he scolded Xiaomi Cai: "You, can you be more obedient in the future?"
"Who told it to bully daddy! Huh, it's just a little chicken that barely made the list of gods. I didn't bake it and eat it, but it's already pretty good!" Xiaomi Cai said unhappily.
Hearing this, Qin Shi really couldn't laugh or cry. The phoenix can be reborn, but you actually want to roast it and eat it? Isn't this a joke
But no matter what, Qin Shi was moved by the first half of Xiaomi Cai's words. He originally wanted to punish her, but in the end he swallowed it back and rubbed Xiaomi Cai's hair: "Okay, don't do it anymore." You’re making such nonsense, do you understand?”
"Yeah!" Xiaomi Cai nodded meekly.
Next, Qin Shi and Xiaomi Cai stayed in the Yuantan Bamboo Forest. The immortal Taoist treated them well and deliberately packed up a wooden house for them.
"Little brother, I am the only one here all year round. This wooden house was originally Minghao's residence, but it has been neglected for three years and is a bit dirty. You can make do with it here."
"It's good to have a place to live. The juniors are already used to it. Seniors don't need to bother." Qin Shi smiled and shook his head. What he said was true. For him, he has suffered all kinds of hardships in the past few years, including sleeping in the open air. It has long been a daily routine, and now it is good to have a small place to live.
After the immortal Taoist left, Qin Shi relaxed. Three days passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, Qin Shi was not in a hurry to practice. This time he was determined to break through the Seven Curses, so once he started, he could not interrupt, so he was ready to work. It must be done well.
