Chapter 482 Lies (8)

It is precisely because of the right time, location, people and three talents that the two people's alchemy journey went very smoothly. After the alchemy was completed, the two decided to try it first.Shang Yuan was the older of the two, and he had always played the role of the elder brother, and testing medicine was risky, so he took over the job of testing medicine.

When I heard this, I couldn't help but said: "I heard that in ancient times, before those high-ranking officials made alchemy and took medicine, they would ask some people below to test the medicine. Since you are enshrined by the general stationed in Beijing, why don't you ask other people to test the medicine?"

Shang Yuan put his hands on the wheelchair, silently recited Boundless Heavenly Venerable, and then said: "We are people who cultivate the Tao, not high-ranking officials and nobles. Their lives are no different from ordinary people's lives in our eyes. How can we use them?" Anyone else come to test the medicine?"

Unexpectedly, this Taoist priest is still very stately, so I didn't interrupt him again, and listened to him continue to talk.

After Shang Yuan tried the medicine, he reacted very quickly. He felt pain all over his body at first, as if his skin was shedding, and a lot of dry skin appeared on his body. Once the dry skin fell off, the exposed skin looked very young.

At that time, Taoist priests Shang Yuan and Qiong Min were both close to 50 years old. In the ancient era when the medical environment was underdeveloped, the sanitation conditions were poor, and the average life expectancy was not long, they were about to know their destiny.

And Shang Yuan, after going through a round of pain, found that he was close to loose and aging skin. After shedding his skin, he became younger. Both of them were overjoyed, thinking that they had succeeded.

But soon, things went wrong.

The abnormal situation after taking the pill lasted for two days. Shang Yuan could clearly remember what happened on the first day and the next morning and the changes in his body, but he didn't care about what happened in the second afternoon. How to think, also can't remember.

The side effects of the 'elixir' were finally revealed. It prolongs Shang Yuan's life, but at the same time, it makes Shang Yuan become delirious, recovering from time to time, sometimes fragmented, and during the time of fragmentation, what did he do? , but can't remember at all.

When Shang Yuan woke up, he found that he was covered in blood, and Qiong Ming's body was not far from the alchemy furnace.The blood around him showed that he fought fiercely and resisted when he died, but he was killed in the end.

Everything points to himself.

Shang Yuan felt his body full of power. At that moment, his heart was quite complicated. He is a practitioner. Although he pursues immortality, he is not a bad person.

His close friend and comrade died in his hands, but he didn't know how he killed him.At that time, Shang Yuan's mood was unstable, and he almost went crazy again, but at that time, he could already feel something in advance. If he had to describe it, it was probably that after taking the pill, his body was strengthened, He even regained his youth, but the switches and gates of his spirit seemed to be weakened, and it was very easy to lose control.

After intense pain and self-blame, staring at Qiong Ming's relatively fresh corpse, Shang Yuan came up with an idea, and decided to try with elixir to see if he could revive the person who had just died.

This idea, in the eyes of us normal people, is absurd. How can the dead be resurrected?
But Shang Yuan did so at that time. He fed a elixir to Qiong Ming's corpse. Instead of coming back to life, it began to grow something that looked like feathers.

Ascension, in Taoism, is a symbol of becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao. In Qiongming's case, it seems that he has become an immortal, but it seems that he is not, because he is still a corpse.
The mind of the Taoist priest has always been in a state of ups and downs. Many times when he opened his eyes, he found that he seemed to have done something that he couldn't understand.

He placed the feathered Qiong Ming on the stone bed in the living room, and was in no hurry to leave.

The main reason why he didn't leave was because he failed in alchemy, and he became very weird.In today's terms, Taoist priests seem to have dual personalities, and the other personality happens to be extremely destructive, and will always do some abnormal things without the normal personality knowing.

And under such an abnormal situation, the Taoist is really not sure if something more terrible will happen if he goes to a place where there are people.

Another reason for him to stay in the cave is Qiongming, because Taoist priest Qiongming's condition is very strange, almost exactly the same as that of the Taoist legend of ascending to immortality, the only difference is that he does not have the performance of a living person.

Maybe it will take a while?
Thinking about this, the Taoist decided to retreat in the cave for a period of time, guarding Qiongming, and thinking of ways to see if he could solve his problem.

Before retreating, he specially prepared a lot of food, everything is ready.

In Shang Yuan's limited memory, he only remembers that he spent more than ten days sober in the cave, and then his body seemed to be taken over by another 'personality', and he didn't care about anything that happened next. I no longer know.

When he woke up again, the first person he saw was a person who looked exactly like me.

Here comes the point!When I heard him say this, I cheered up and asked, "Is that person Qingfeng Taoist?"

He nodded and recalled: "At that time, I thought his clothes were very strange. He didn't grow his hair or wear a Taoist robe, but he kept claiming that he was a monk who came to seek immortality and Taoism."

I said, "He regards you as an expert?"

Shang Yuan nodded and said: "That's right. At that time, there were still many treasures of Qiong Ming and me in the cave. He probably saw Qiong Ming's feather body, so he regarded me as a fairy."

I asked him what happened next.

Shang Yuan continued to speak.

At that time, he didn't believe that Qingfeng was a monk. After all, Qingfeng's dress did not conform to the rules, so Qingfeng explained the situation at that time very seriously.Shang Yuan was shocked and angry when he heard that the Qing Dynasty had perished, and now a new China had been established, and he was anti-feudal and superstitious, and asked monks to return to vulgarity. It is very rare to have a heart of Taoism.

So Shang Yuan not only received Qingfeng in the cave, but also regarded Qingfeng as his heir, passing on all he had learned.

Qingfeng stayed in the cave for a long time. The relationship between the two at that time was already a state of being both a teacher and a friend. In this state, Shang Yuan will always hide the fact that he failed in alchemy and killed Qiong Ming, and the fact that he may become another person at any time, told Qingfeng.

Shang Yuan said this because he faintly felt that his mental gate seemed to be loosened again, and another self seemed to come out again.He had to tell Qingfeng the truth and let him leave the cave.

However, what Shang Yuan didn't expect was that after knowing the truth, Qingfeng began to press every step of the way, showing his greedy face.
