"What should I do with these corpses?" After a long time, Yue Zhilan came back to his senses.
Wei Shiqi put away his emotion, returned to his hard-hearted attitude, and said: "Dig a hole and bury it, and rest in peace."
Yue Zhilan was still a little hesitant, but then he thought about it. I thought that with so many corpses, they alone could not transport them down the mountain. If the corpses were exposed in the wilderness, they would probably be eaten by wild beasts. It would be better to bury them in the soil and rebury them someday. He sighed: "This is the only way, Brother Wei Xiao, please do me a favor and do it together."
It's all physical work, it's not a problem, but there is no one who can take advantage of it, so I have to pick two Take a thick branch, cut off the branches and leaves, and use it once. The two picked a piece of mountainous land with lots of soft soil, dug a large pit, threw the body into the pit, covered it with a layer of loose soil, stepped it down firmly with their feet, and pressed it down with some rocks. The body was not buried deep enough, so it was likely that it was picked out by scavenging beasts, but in the deep mountains and old forests, there is not so much care.
Deng Shouyi did not help. In his eyes, mortals were equal to ants. Before death, out of compassion, he might save one or two of them and bury their bodies after death. He didn't bother to do it. He raised the Broken Dragon Sword and poured all the sharp golden energy remaining in his body into it. He made a slash between the chest and abdomen of the bear corpse, cut open the internal organs, first searched in the Dantian, and took out a demon pill as big as a broad bean. Silvery white, spinning around in the palm of your hand, quite spiritual.
Deng Shouyi was full of joy. This was an unexpected gain. Although the demon pill was young, the essence of the moonlight contained in it was of great benefit to him. He put the demon elixir core into the jade box and hid it close to his body. He also found the gallbladder in the abdomen of the bear corpse, cut it off, tied it tightly with hemp rope, and put it in his sleeve.
Deng Shouyi took one last look at the disemboweled bear corpse and felt that there was nothing left to take away. He waved his sleeves, found a clean stone, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and rested. .
After burying the corpses of his companions, Yue Zhilan put the crossbow into the pannier bag and discarded all the iron clips aside, making everything ready. He made a gesture to Wei Shiqi and stood next to Deng Shouyi to wait. command. Deng Shouyi pondered for a long time and said with his eyes closed: "Thanks to the two of you today, Pindao had the chance to kill the bear demon. Whatever my uncle promised you, you will naturally fulfill it when you return to Xinyang Town. You two ... I can make a request to Pindao to express my gratitude for this help.”
The Taoism of the Xiandu Sect emphasizes the importance of being spotless and having no worries, so Deng Shouyi also wanted to end the relationship as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble. Leave a knot in your heart.
Yue Zhilan lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly knelt down on his knees, kowtowed three times to Deng Shou, and said: "Please accept me as a disciple and teach me the Taoism!" to show his determination! , he hit it extremely hard, and a gash was opened on his forehead, which was dripping with blood.
Deng Shou refused one by one, "It is commendable to be sincere, but the poor Taoist will not accept disciples."
Yue Zhilan said loudly: "Ask the immortal master to help you and show you a clear path. !"
Deng Shouyi knew that his uncle had a high opinion of Yue Zhilan. Although he was a slave, his character and mind were far above ordinary people. When his uncle sent him to the border army, he originally planned to wait for him.He performed military exploits and got rid of his slave status, but Zhao Yuanwai refused to let go. After Yue Zhilan returned to the Zhao Mansion, he still worked as a lowly servant, but he worked hard and never complained. With such a character, he might as well give him a chance. He immediately opened his eyes, threw an iron ring from his sleeve, and said: "In that case, Pindao will give you an opportunity. On the eighth day of July next year, you can wear this iron ring on your right index finger and go to Ximi." I met a slovenly old Taoist at Jianghuyang Ferry. If he likes you, he will lead you to the gate of Xiandu."
Yue Zhilan was overjoyed, picked up the iron ring, kowtowed three times, and stood up. Go aside.
Deng Shouyi raised his eyes and looked at Wei Shiqi, "Donor Wei, what do you want?"
Wei Shiqi cupped his hands and asked, "Taoist Master, there are more An iron ring?"
"Go and rest, go and rest!" Deng Shou laughed, dropped another iron ring, jumped up, and walked down the mountain with his clothes fluttering. Disappeared.
Wei Shiqi picked up the iron ring and put it in his arms. Yue Zhilan was silent for a moment, smiled and said, "I'm going back to Xinyang Town right now. What are your plans, brother Wei Xiao?"
p>"I'm going to stay in the mountains for a few more days - it's a pity to lose these bear hunting traps. If you don't want them, can you give them to me?"
"Brother Wei Xiao, you're welcome. "Okay, just take it and use it. I'll go ahead and say goodbye!" Yue Zhilan picked up the bag and turned to leave. Wei Shiqi watched his figure drift away, and he was the only one left in the forest.
As dusk grew darker and the crows returned to their nests, Wei Shiqi lit a bonfire, chopped off a few pieces of bear meat with a newly made scimitar, stuck it on a branch and roasted it until it was seven or eight years old, without caring about burning it. , took a hard bite. The bear meat was rough and tough, and its taste was far inferior to that of wild boar and elk. Wei Shiqi was so hungry that he couldn't care less about being picky and wolfed it all down. He patted his bulging belly and felt thirsty. He stood up and went to find a bottle of water to drink. As soon as he stood up, a sudden heat rose up in his belly, like fire, and spread all over his body in an instant.
"Could this bear meat be poisonous?" Wei Shiqi muttered in his heart.
The heat was getting stronger and stronger, rushing left and right in his body, unable to vent. Wei Shiqi felt that every inch of his skin was bulging, and he couldn't help but look down at his arms, which suddenly made him fatter. There are circles, pores are dilated, and cold hairs stand on end. He staggered a few steps, his head was burned by the heat and he stumbled, and his back hit a tree hard.
The force of this collision was astonishing. The hot air contracted a little due to the impact of the external force, and then expanded again. There was a heartbreaking pain in the back, as if a dull knife had been inserted. , turning back and forth, the pain made his eyes darken, and he felt like vomiting. More than ten thunderclaps sounded in his ears one after another. His legs and feet went weak, and he fell to the ground like a dead pig.
"What the...his...mother...is...going on!" Wei Shiqi lay face down on the ground, tears flying like rain, and his nose was mixed with nosebleeds. He stopped, his upper lip was chipped by his teeth, and his mouth was stuffed with dirt and gravel.
After a long time, the severe pain gradually subsided. I had no strength at all, and my hands and feet were twitching uncontrollably.Twitching, the heat continued to surge and swell in his body. Wei Shiqi had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he was so blessed that he remembered the second human figure painted on the animal skin. He struggled to spit out the dirt in his mouth, gritted his teeth and groaned: "It turns out ...This is cultivation...it really hurts..."
After using a few curse words, Wei Shiqi struggled to get up, wiped away his tears, snot and nosebleeds, and touched them in a strange way! I touched my crotch, but luckily I wasn't incontinent. He gritted his teeth, sighted a big tree, turned his back and bumped into it. There was another sharp pain, and he almost thought there was a big hole in his back. Fortunately, he was prepared this time, and when he threw himself to the ground, He desperately used his hands to support his body to avoid losing his appearance for the second time.
"Men, you should be a little cruel to yourself!" Wei Shiqi got up again and again and fell down again and again. Eventually, his whole body became numb. When he hit it for the eleventh time, he heard a soft "cluck" sound, and something in his body seemed to be loosened. His bulging body seemed to have been poked by a needle, and a stream of white air rushed out of his mouth. , spit it out three feet away and then slowly dispersed.
Tiredness welled up from his bones and engulfed him like a tide. Before Wei Shiqi fell asleep, he thought of Deng Shouyi's words and murmured: "It turns out that this is really an opportunity..."
