Ask the Mirror Chapter 56: Medicine powder

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!

After flying on the road for more than half an hour, seeing the city getting closer and closer and the crowds getting denser, Yu Ci finally got a ride.

But compared with those lizard cars, his car was a bit shabby, just a four-wheeled vehicle for transportation.

Huandan cultivators cannot yet fly thousands of miles with their physical bodies, and can only fly in the air with a vehicle. Talisman cultivators like Yu Ci have an additional option, which is to use the void magic talisman. The basis for this is that the talismans are actually shining brightly, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it at a glance. It's fine elsewhere. In a crowded place, flying like this will attract people's attention and may cause some trouble. For this reason, Lu Qing used his clever skills before coming here and made a four-wheeled vehicle out of ordinary wood. It's not a magic weapon, but it has a mechanism and can cope with any turning point.

Yu Ci was sitting in the car, a little embarrassed at first, but later she was enjoying herself. Lu Qing stood behind him, following slowly, occasionally pushing him when he was not controlling properly, but he was not going very fast. slow.

As she walked, she explained: "Huayan City is not just a city, but is made up of more than ten gathering areas distributed within a thousand miles. Of course, there is also a main city at the core, which is a narrow city. In comparison, Yinkuo City seems too cramped. This is because the city has not been established for a long time and has not been able to expand outwards. In the Northern Wasteland, Huayan City is the norm, with a large settlement area. Low density... enough chaos! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a howl from afar echoed in the wide corridor. A group of people and horses rushed towards them from a distance in the opposite direction. The man in front of them was walking as fast as flying, but he rushed forward in a straight line, leaving everyone behind him far behind. Pedestrians on the road were reluctant to give way, and some were angry. But when they saw the appearance of the leader, they all screamed "bad luck" and didn't bother to care.

Yu Cizheng was looking at it interestingly. The group of people had already rushed forward. When they suddenly saw Yu Ci, they laughed loudly and then cursed:

"Crippled, go to hell!"

Yu Ci narrowed his eyes, but before he could react, the man who was yelling for no reason could no longer hold back his energy and bumped into a speeding lizard car. With a loud bang, the lizard car unexpectedly They were knocked apart by the man, and the giant lizard pulling the cart was also knocked down.

The man hit hard, and the result was brilliant, but his head was bleeding, and he laughed loudly, looking crazy.

The owner of the car rolled out of the car and was furious when he saw this. He rushed forward and punched and kicked the man. The man did not fight back, but just laughed. In the end, the owner of the car was too lazy to pay any more attention. After a fierce kick, he angrily admitted Unlucky, I walked away.

At this time, the group of people who were lagging behind also caught up, turning a blind eye to the car owner who beat their companions. They just walked to the man who crashed the car without giving him any help. They formed a circle, laughed and laughed, and finally just high-fived and walked away. The song was a nonsense song, and the words didn't convey the meaning. In the end, the man who crashed the car got up and joined in. The sound was noisy, the light and shadow were messy, and it looked like a group of demons dancing wildly.

Yu Ci felt Naoren’er’s pain when he saw it, and Lu Qing beside him exclaimed: “It’s because I took ‘Gui Jing Powder’ and lost my mind.”

"Ghost Prison San?"

"It is a kind of powder produced in Huayan City. It is popular in the Northern Wasteland and is common everywhere. This powder was originally called 'Bu Lao Dan'. It is a kind of beauty-preserving elixir. It is very precious and ordinary people cannot afford it. , someone in Huayan City substituted several medicinal materials to make a powder based on Bulao Dan. The price dropped sharply, and it also had the effect of rejuvenating the appearance of the skin. It was also used for beauty and pleasure, and it was called 'Changchun Powder'.

"Changchun Powder?"

"The original name is Changchun Powder. Later, people discovered that this powder needs to be taken every day to achieve long-term effects. However, this medicine is not complete. Taking it for many years will gradually stimulate and damage the mind, and the poison will accumulate to a certain amount. , all the pleasant feelings will be reversed, and the force of one feather will turn into the pain of thousands of cuts, just like the torture of hell, making people unable to live or die, so it was renamed "Ghost Prison Powder". ”

Yu Ci asked curiously: "Is there anyone else taking this?"

With his back turned, he couldn't see Lu Qing's expression, and could only hear a low sneer: "Whether it's to connect the gods or to return the elixir, when your cultivation level has not improved for many years, you will grow old day by day, your energy will be weak, and you will be helpless. What medicine should not be taken when you are waiting to die? ”

"This..." Yu Ci thought of Yu Zhou's old way. After all, there are people who will do the opposite. Of course, they are the minority among the minority. Most people would probably drink poison to quench their thirst in order to save their lives, as Lu Qing mocked.

I looked at the group of cheering and howling people again. Although they looked crazy, they all looked youthful and energetic. Thinking about their future ending, it felt strangely absurd.

Is this the norm in the Northern Wilderness?

Yu Ci shook his head, not knowing what to say. The wooden wheels turned gurglingly, and the two of them continued to move forward, leaving the crazy people behind. Both of them were silent for a moment, and suddenly another voice came to Yu Ci's ears:

"Besides, the people who make the medicine are also right. Monks use this medicine powder. In addition to keeping their appearance, there are also people who can use the medicine powder to stimulate the power of the medicine and break through the barrier of immortality in one fell swoop. At that time, if they try it slowly, they will weaken the medicine. Poison is not impossible. In addition, there is one more thing..."

Lu Qing was mid-sentence and suddenly fell silent. It was not that she was hiding it intentionally, but that a figure suddenly appeared in front of her and stretched out her hand in a gesture of stopping:

"You two look familiar."

Yu Ci stopped the four-wheeler and was stunned when he raised his eyes. The face of the man opposite was cold and bloodless, and his feet did not touch the ground. More importantly, this man's figure was indistinct, and the strong light around him passed by, leaving no shadow behind him!

"This is..."

Yu Ci looked carefully and saw that the figure was translucent and his face looked cold, but his attire was the real thing, especially the outer armor, which was made of something like ice crystals connected in series. , decorated with fabric and metal in the middle, just like a mortal chainmail, quite mighty. But compared with itself, it is very dazzling.

He finally came to the conclusion: This is a ghost cultivator!

Knowing that it was rude, Yu Ci couldn't help but take a closer look. This was a ghost cultivator! Except for the special example of Tie Lan who was transformed from a sword ghost, this was the first time he saw such a pure ghost cultivator - Beihuang was really full of surprises!

At this time, Lu Qing said: "We came from Qianzhang City to seek medical treatment at Changqing Gate."

The ghost cultivator looked at it for a few more times and nodded: "Luka is just ahead. You two have come all the way, so you don't want to cause trouble. Just follow the rules, please!"

"That's natural."

Lu Qing's tone was calm and he had a calm and unhurried demeanor. The ghost cultivator also knew the etiquette and let him go. Of course, this is also because Yu Ci and Lu Qing are both masters of qi and blood, and have the ability to return elixirs, so they naturally do not dare to insult them lightly.

After two sentences, Lu Qing pushed Yu Ci forward, passing by each other twice. Yu Ci couldn't help but look back and saw the ghost cultivator raised his hand again to stop another group of people.

Lu Qing explained softly: "There are many ghost cultivators here. Huayan City has the largest resentful soul cemetery in the Northern Wilderness, where a huge amount of Yin herbs and minerals grow. Ghost cultivators are very popular, and it is the second largest cemetery in the Northern Wilderness. The first place where the ghost cultivator community is located is Fengdu City."

"Is there really anyone who takes this road?" Yu Ci couldn't understand.

Whether one is taught by an orthodox Taoist religion such as Yeluzi or Lichen Sect, the path of ghost cultivation is never a good choice.

This is completely different from cultivating the Yin God. The Yin God relies on the flesh fetus. Although the Yin is heavy, there is a little Yang and harmony in the center, which is the right path of practice. But practicing the ghost path, in the final analysis, is to end your life first and make your whole body full of yin, and then take those extreme yin and narrow paths, which will only become narrower and narrower, and will never be smooth.

When the cultivation level is weak, even a slightly stronger sunlight can kill it; even if the cultivation level is strong, because of taking the wrong path and encountering monks of the same level, they will automatically become weaker. Not to mention that it is extremely easy to be captured by various soul-obsessing magic weapons and talismans, so that restrictions can be planted, and you can be put to death in the end.

Because of its various disadvantages, Yu Ci has been practicing for so many years, but he has never seen a monk who really follows the path of ghost cultivation - the same goes for Tielan, who practices the first-class authentic swordsmanship. , can make 90% of the sword cultivators in the world jealous to death.

How did Beihuang get rid of these rare things?

"Is it rare? That's not necessarily the case."

Lu Qing said softly: "The Ghost Prison Powder mentioned earlier, in addition to its medicinal effects such as rejuvenating and improving the appearance, it also has the effect of stimulating the Yin God. Many monks who had no hope of going further are completely You can use this medicinal powder to stimulate the cultivation of Yin gods, and then convert to the ghost realm, and it will not be unusual if you survive for more than a hundred years."

"Can it still be like this? But this is just hanging on for a while..."

"When we are really struggling between life and death, who can still tell the difference?"

"...too!"

Thinking of some past events, Yu Ci felt a little depressed, but at the same time, he also began to admire the person who made this strange medicine. He also thought that the name of the place for medical treatment mentioned by Lu Qing was vaguely similar to the original name of the medicine, so he asked: "Is this Ghost Prison-Changchun Powder made by the Changqing Sect?"

"No. But now it is true that Evergreen Sect accounts for a considerable share."

Lu Qing said calmly: "No one can fully consume such a medicinal powder. Every famous lobby in Beihuang will get a share of it."

"Such a big deal?"

"There should be more than 70 million people in the Northern Wilderness, and at least 10% of them rely on ghost prisons to survive every day, and another 30 to 40% have been exposed to it more or less. Anyway, unless they are in extreme despair, or... If you pay attention to it, it's not too difficult to quit...but some casual practitioners who are short of money often use this medicine to break through."

Yu Ci gasped when he heard this; "The price is low, the effect is wide, and the consequences are controllable. It is in a chaotic place like Beihuang, no wonder it is such a good deal! This pharmaceutical person really knows how to understand people's hearts. ”

Lu Qing smiled slightly: "It tastes like this when the human heart is used as medicine."

With that said, the checkpoint to enter Huayan City arrived.
