More than 80% of the terrain of Central Guizhou Road is mountainous and forested.

There are a large number of natural caves in the mountains and forests. Among them, the largest Shuanghe cave is an astonishing 159 kilometers long, running through three underground places in Zhenzhou, Yizhou and Bozhou. People have to admire the uncanny workmanship of nature. Of course.

, Human beings are creatures living under the sun after all, and they do not pay special attention to the underground caves.

But for many people who cannot see the light, this is a natural refuge.

Dong Dong Dong,

In a cave tens of meters underground, artificially planted 'luminous moss' emits a faint blue light, providing lighting for humans here. Yes, there are actually quite a few of them tens of meters underground.

Human beings gather here.

They either sit cross-legged, or place the medicine jar in their hands on the stone platform, raise the medicine tampering rod in their hands, and smash it into the medicine jar, slowly grinding the various materials inside into powder.

The underground cave is damp and cold. These people are old and young, men and women. Most of them only wear linen clothes, barefoot and bare arms. In order to complete the task and keep warm, they can only move around constantly: put medicine jars or gold stones, or

It's medicinal materials, or mashed up from some suspicious biological tissue.

The dim light of the 'luminous moss' on the wall shines on the faces of these people, coating their numb faces with a layer of coldness, making people feel like they are in the underworld.

There are constantly young people wearing trouser legs, cuffs, and straw sandals taking away the ground materials and leaving new raw materials behind. It looks like an underground processing factory.

"Ahem,"

Just when everyone was working quietly, a series of coughs came out, which made the numb people's faces change, and finally became a little more 'angry'.

It's just that the expressions on their faces are mostly regret, hatred, despair... Anyway, they are definitely not positive expressions.

"Cough...cough cough cough!"

The person who coughed was an ordinary girl. She covered her mouth in fear, as if she was afraid that the noise would cause some disaster. However, the more she suppressed it, the worse she coughed. In the end, she even bent over.

Come on, there are dark red drops between the fingers covering your mouth.

"This medicine man is no longer good, so he is not as good as us..."

A sinister voice sounded, and a young man in charge of transporting materials came over with a sneer and scratched the middle of his trousers.

"So brave,"

In the nearby cave, a young man in a long shirt walked over. His shirt was long to his legs and wrists, and his sleeves were long enough to carry him around. He was obviously much more noble than the short-handed people who were transporting materials.

"This is Master's medicine man, how dare you get involved?"

Seeing this person, the young man who had just smiled lewdly was like a mouse seeing a cat. He immediately lowered his head and stepped aside, not daring to take another look.

The young man in a long gown held an old ponytail whisk in his hand. He walked up to the girl who huddled up due to a violent cough, waved the whisk casually and spoke slowly:

"Since you can't bear the pain of pounding the medicine, I will show you great mercy and send you to the heaven."

???

After hearing the words of the long-robed Taoist priest, the face of the girl on the ground changed drastically. There was no trace of blood on her already pale face. She struggled to kneel on the ground and kowtowed to the person in front of her.

"No...cough cough cough, don't..."

She was so hard that she banged her forehead on the cave floor until her head was bleeding. However, the long-robed Taoist just took a step back and waved in disgust.

"Bring it to Master."

"Yes!" X2

Two short-handed young men immediately stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, to lift the coughing and crying girl up and drag her directly to other caves.

The people around who were making medicine just glanced at the girl who didn't even have the strength to struggle, then lowered their heads and continued to 'work' silently, and then waited for the day when they would also face such an end.

Resist?

A few young men who had just been arrested once did it. They took advantage of the young men who were short-handed and knocked down several of them.

Then the long-robed Taoist priest came and just waved his fly whisk. Several strong men immediately fell to the ground with livid faces. Their necks and ankles were all covered with purple baby paw prints. They were taken to refine the elixir that day and extinguished it.

Their last hope.

Escape?

Not to mention whether you can escape under the noses of those short-term young people, but the sunless caves extend in all directions. Where can you run? There is really no way to heaven and no way to earth. You can only live one day at a time. When will you die?

Well...according to what the Taoist priest said, the soul will also be detained and will never be able to make a difference!

Once extraordinary beings do evil, ordinary people really don’t even have a chance to resist!

Becoming a ghost to take revenge? Sorry, even if you become a ghost, you will be driven by others.

————

As two short-handed young men dragged the girl to a cave that was neatly tidied and even padded with furs, the torches placed around brought her a long-lost warmth. It might also be the one in the room.

The heat brought by the tall, antique-looking, blackened alchemy furnace.

"The secret of alchemy lies in three key points."

In front of an alchemy furnace that is as tall as one person, with his back to the three people, there is a Taoist priest wearing a blue robe, a hairpin and a crown, and white hair at the temples. He was flipping through the classics in his hand, shaking his head and mumbling something.

"The first is the cauldron; the second is the medicine; the third is the fire. The cauldron has yin and yang, the medicine has the inside and outside, and the fire has its seasons."

"The so-called medicine, whether it is gold, stone, or rare treasures, is all about taking the energy of the innate essence of heaven and earth and turning it into human beings. However, people are originally the spirit of heaven and earth, and seeking medicine and stone is just a matter of abandoning the original and seeking the last. Using people to make elixirs is the way to ascend to immortality.

,Pindao is right!!”

···

Seeing the fanatical white-haired Taoist priest in front of them, the two young men couldn't help but sweat dripping from their vests. They dragged the girl who suppressed the urge to cough to the alchemy furnace and bowed in front of it.

"Master, this is today's medicine man."

"Well, you go down."

The white-haired Taoist priest waved his hand, and the two short-playing young men, such as Meng Dahe, immediately bent down and walked out quickly.

"evil ways!"

Knowing that she would not be able to survive today, the girl took the risk.

"The sky is full of gods and Buddhas, the imperial court of Zhou Dynasty, and the underworld... will not let you go!"

"Oh, gods and Buddhas?"

Hearing the girl's curse, the Taoist priest smiled calmly.

"Those guys have long been unable to protect themselves."

"As for the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty? My 'Shengxian Temple' mountain guarding formation is completely natural. Who can find it here——"

boom!!

The moment the white-haired Taoist priest finished speaking, a loud noise was heard, echoing continuously in the underground cave, making him stunned.

what's the situation?

Not long after, a young man in short clothes covered in blood suddenly ran into the 'alchemy room', his face full of horror, as if he had lost his soul.

"what happened?"

The white-haired old man stepped forward and grabbed the opponent's collar, crackling his lips, and immediately made the opponent wake up.

"Teacher...Master, a young man in white came outside."

"Holding a fire-breathing magical weapon, it can make thunder! With one blow, all the rocks and wood were turned into powder! Senior brother was blown to pieces by that magical weapon..."

?!

Could it be that the Zhou imperial court really came to visit us?

Despite what the white-haired Taoist priest said, in fact, at his level, he just used the cave terrain to set up some ecstasy formations. Naturally, he is invincible against ordinary people, but if he meets an expert, it will be a joke. The reason why he is alive today is,

It's just hiding underground and being a rat.

However, it would be difficult for him to just abandon his family business and run for his life. Not to mention the hard work of arresting those 'medicine people', the large amount of medicinal materials here alone is not a small amount.

"Rong Pindao go and meet him!"

————

"Who dares to cause trouble in my 'Shengxian Temple'?"

By the time the white-haired old man arrived at the largest cave, a battle had already taken place here, as evidenced by the scattered corpses of a dozen young men in short clothes on the ground.

"Ha, that's such a loud tone. How dare a rat in the gutter call it 'Shengxian Temple'?"

In a corner of the cave, all the ordinary people in sackcloth were hiding there, so crowded that they wanted to huddle up. The gods were fighting, and the mortals suffered. Seeing the miraculous savior descending from the sky, they did not want to die at this time.

And their savior is none other than Li Yu, who is holding the smoking "Long Roar No. 1".

"I am the military guard of Leyuan County, and I am arresting you in accordance with the law for practicing Qingyang Taoism."

After speaking, Li Yu raised the giant firearm in his hand. This thing can cut a human body into two pieces with one shot. It was originally intended to be used by Li Yu to fight zombies and monster tigers. It is completely overqualified to use it to fight these crispy Taoist priests.

.

"Firegun?"

However, the white-haired Taoist priest opposite just shrugged and actually revealed the essence of Li Yu's weapon.
