Chapter 444 Black Teeth
Lake tail city.
A small border town located in the southernmost part of Dajin.
The city is not big, and there are only tens of thousands of residents in it.
It’s just that there is only a ‘White Ping Mountain Range’ between the Black Tooth Country in the south, and there are many precious herbs and wild goods hidden in the Black Tooth Country. Therefore, many caravans come and go here to supply and station here.
This day.
In a restaurant in the city, there came a Taoist priest in Qingyi who looked quite young but exuded a feeling of being unapproachable by strangers.
The waiter's eyelids were also quite lively. Seeing that this man was not ordinary, he quickly shook the rag, nodded and came forward to say hello:
"This Taoist, please come to the bakery inside..."
The Taoist in Qingyi shook his head slightly, walked straight to a wine table along the window and sat down.
The waiter was startled, and quickly followed him. He pulled off the rag, wiped it on the table, and said with a smile:
"Master Dao, what do you want to order? Do you have any dietary restrictions? Our store's eight delicacies fish and fried lamb are the signatures..."
Qingyi Taoist cherishes words like gold:
"Come on, everyone."
The waiter knew that an expert was here, so he didn't dare to neglect and said loudly:
"Okay!"
Hearing this hint, the rich shopkeeper stuck his head out from behind the table and cabinet. Seeing the Taoist priest's temperament and dress, he was startled. He quickly walked around from behind the table and cabinet, taking three steps and two steps at a time, and quickly He walked up to Taoist Master Qingyi, bowed respectfully and said:
"The Immortal is here in person. Do you have any instructions?"
The Taoist in Qingyi turned his head slightly and looked at him:
"How can you tell?"
Although the question was confusing, the shopkeeper already understood what the other party meant and quickly smiled modestly and said:
"The demeanor of an immortal is completely different from that of ordinary people. It is like a cone in a bag, or like a bright fire in the night. It is particularly conspicuous, so only a humble person can see it."
Listening to the shopkeeper's unabashed praise, Taoist Qingyi's face did not change, but he said slowly:
"Nothing else to do, let's serve the food."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he felt relieved. Although he knew that the immortals in the Great Jin Dynasty would not embarrass ordinary people, he still felt a little nervous when he suddenly met an immortal.
While respectfully stepping aside with a smile on his face, he quickly called on the chef to speed up his work.
Under the urging of the shopkeeper, Taoist Qingyi's front was soon filled with exquisite dishes that were both delicious and delicious.
Seeing so many dishes, Taoist Qingyi frowned slightly.
However, the shopkeeper on the side noticed it immediately and quickly stepped forward carefully and asked:
"Master Dao, what's wrong with you?"
The Taoist priest in Qingyi shook his head slightly, but still couldn't bear to say more than half a word:
"waste."
But even though he said this, he didn't ask the shopkeeper to withdraw.
He scanned the food in front of him with his eyes and took a gentle sniff.
Then he shook his head imperceptibly, but did not drop chopsticks.
When the shopkeeper saw this, he couldn't help but think about it.
At this moment, a loud noise was suddenly heard.
Attracted by the movement, Taoist Qingyi moved his eyes slightly and looked down.
Seeing that Taoist Qingyi had diverted his attention, the shopkeeper quickly followed his line of sight.
But at the end of the central long street under the restaurant, a group of short and skinny savages with black skin and tattoos were walking towards them, looking around nervously.
When I saw the prosperous shops and pavilions on both sides of the long street, I let out a burst of exclamation from time to time.
Seeing Taoist Taoist Qingyi's eyes showing a strange look, the shopkeeper's heart moved slightly and he said cautiously:
"Master Dao, is this your first time in Huwei City?"
The Taoist priest in Qingyi said nothing.
But the shopkeeper already had some guesses, his face relaxed, and he said with a smile:
"Master Dao may not be familiar with it, but these people are from the Black Teeth Country in the south. The people in this country have skin as dark as ink and are fond of tattoos. They regard black teeth as their beauty. Although they are close to our Jin Dynasty, they have skin-stained skin. If the uncivilized barbarians... usually fear our great Jin and dare not come here, now they are probably fleeing here because of the floods in the south. "
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest in Qingyi focused his eyes, and sure enough he saw these dark-skinned people, all of whom had red lips and black teeth.
He asked thoughtfully:
"The flood is huge?"
"Master Dao, you have asked the right person."
Seeing the Taoist's interest, the shopkeeper also laughed:
"The ancestor of the little family practiced in the Huangdan Valley of Shangyuan County. It was an overhaul of the mysterious spiritual sense! He had followed Daluo Xuandu Shengzhen to the south for disaster relief. The Black Tooth Country was pretty good, but the area near the sea It has been somewhat flooded, and the ones further south are said to be called Hailing and Panyu countries, and they have almost become thousands of miles of waves..."
"That is to say, our immortals in Dajin are kind-hearted. If it were Dayan in the north, no one would save them..."
"Overhaul of Xuan Miao Shen Sense? Da Luo Xuan Du Sheng Zhen Zhen Zhen?"
In the eyes of Taoist Qingyi, there was a rare trace of confusion.
Why haven’t you heard of this realm?
It can't be...a realm above the realm of refining the void, right?
The shopkeeper didn't dare to question it and quickly described it.
After some description, Taoist Qingyi finally understood.
Momentarily speechless:
"It turns out they are Foundation Establishment and Golden Pill...these names were given by mortals, but..."
Shake his head slightly.
People in the world will always exaggerate the existence that they cannot understand, not just ordinary people, but also monks.
Thoughts only briefly emerged and then froze.
He sat down and poured himself a glass of wine.
Then take a sip.
Swallow the drink.
This cup was considered a fine wine in the mouth of mortals, but in his mouth, it had no taste at all.
He no longer deliberately made things difficult for himself. He held up the wine glass, and his consciousness gradually spread out and spread around.
In his consciousness.
He saw the shops on both sides of the central street.
There were doctors treating patients, cloth shop owners cutting cloth for customers, and hawkers carrying loads and shouting along the street...
He saw the working farmers, pedestrians and caravans outside the city...
He saw the beating of gongs and drums, and the crying...
He saw the joys and sorrows of all beings in this city.
Just like the many cities he had seen along the way after he went south from the Wanxiang Sect.
There were not many waves in his heart.
But a question that his body had never imagined before gradually arose in his heart:
"If the sect breaks through the boundary and leaves, the Qin family will also leave... What about the people under the rule of the Great Jin?"
He didn't know what the answer was.
He only knew that under the flood, perhaps the entire Fenglin Continent was in danger of overturning, not to mention those mortals.
He also knew that the sect had done its best to protect itself, and had no more ability to help these mortals.
Just looking at the people of Dajin in the cities, who were unaware of the impending disaster and still lived in peace as in the past... he felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart.
This feeling became clearer and clearer as he walked along.
He also kept questioning his heart when this feeling came up again and again.
But he could never find the source of this feeling.
He sat in front of the window of the restaurant for a while, but got nothing.
He finally got up.
The shopkeeper hurried over, looked at the untouched food on the table, and said apologetically:
"Are you not satisfied with the food? I'll ask the kitchen to make another one."
The Taoist in green shook his head slightly.
He didn't see any movement, but a medium-grade spirit stone had already fallen on the table.
The shopkeeper was a man who knew what was good. When he saw the spiritual stone, his eyes lit up immediately, but he didn't dare to step forward. He kept apologizing:
"Master Dao, you haven't even started eating, how dare I accept your spiritual stone... Besides, our restaurant is just for mortals to eat and drink, how can we accept such...Master Dao, Master Dao?!"
He turned around quickly and looked around, but he couldn't see the figure of the Taoist.
Seeing that the Taoist disappeared without a sound, the shopkeeper hesitated for a few seconds, then stepped forward and held the spiritual stone.
"This senior cultivator is so generous, I'm afraid he has an extraordinary status, maybe he is like my great grandfather, a great cultivator of mysterious divine sense... Could he be a senior cultivator in the county sect? Or someone in the county governor's mansion?"
The shopkeeper muttered to himself and quickly put away the spiritual stone.
Overjoyed, looking at the sumptuous food on the table, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"I can't even bear to eat these ingredients... they can't be wasted."
Looking around, he quickly asked the waiter to take all the food to the back.
First, he picked up a fat bear paw with bamboo chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
However, after just a few bites, the shopkeeper couldn't help but spit it out.
He shouted angrily to the cook in the back kitchen:
"Old Li, how come this has no taste at all! It's like dead meat! No wonder Shang Xiu didn't eat a bite!"
The cook who was cooking was shocked when he heard this, and quickly came up with chopsticks to pick up a piece, tasted it, and spit it out.
He was shocked:
"This, this shouldn't be! I clearly tasted it before..."
He picked up a few more pieces and dipped them in the juice next to it, tasted it, but found that the soup had no taste at all, just like plain water.
The shopkeeper also noticed something wrong, and quickly picked up other dishes.
After half an incense stick, the shopkeeper and the cook looked at each other.
The dishes on this table are all tasteless.
The shopkeeper suddenly remembered that the Taoist said "waste" when he saw the full table of food. He didn't think much about it at the time, but now he suddenly realized it.
Then he couldn't help frowning in annoyance:
"The real person is in front of me, but I don't know his true face..."
He hurriedly walked out of the kitchen and leaned against the window. He vaguely saw the figure of a Taoist in green walking at the end of the central street, heading south and gradually disappearing...
...
"The Black Tooth Country is really as real as its name."
The Taoist in green was holding a bamboo stick on the top of a mountain in the "Bai Ping Mountains".
His eyes, as cold as ice, overlooked the road connecting the Black Tooth Country and Da Jin below. A large number of Black Tooth people were rushing to the depths of the Bai Ping Mountains with their families.
These Black Tooth people had thin faces, some were full of illness, and some were full of fatigue.
He didn't deliberately ask, but his hearing and spiritual awareness had already understood the situation of these people.
"The flood from the sea has turned the southwest coast of Black Tooth into a swamp. Many Black Tooth people have been drowned, and plague has been brought... and ferocious beasts are rampant."
Watching a one-armed woman from Black Tooth carrying a three or four-year-old child with broken legs and lifeless eyes, pulling her middle-aged husband who was unconscious on a wooden board, the one-armed woman finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
The child on her back was also thrown off. There was no crying, only a weak groan, and then his thin arms supported the ground and struggled to crawl towards the one-armed woman...
The Taoist in green moved his eyes away indifferently and looked further away.
There, the vast fleeing team filled the entire sight.
Disabled, seriously injured, unconscious, hungry, dead...
Under natural disasters, mortals are no different from insects and ants.
They are extremely fragile.
The Taoist in green stood on the top of the mountain and sighed.
The next moment, he appeared beside the one-armed woman.
Seeing the figure of the Taoist in green, the fleeing Black Tooth people around him subconsciously retreated in fear.
The Taoist in green didn't care at all. He looked at the torn wound on the one-armed woman's broken limb, pondered slightly, and then took out a book from the storage magic tool.
The book was written with the words "Secret Notes of the Imperial Physician of Daqian".
His consciousness swept across the book.
The soul of the perfect golden elixir had already imprinted all the words on these books in his mind.
"Growing hair from the broken limbs and replenishing vitality... it's quite simple."
The Taoist in green patted the one-armed woman lightly, and then the broken limbs of the one-armed woman sprouted, grew, and condensed bones and flesh at a speed visible to the naked eye...
In just a blink of an eye, in the shocked eyes of the surrounding Black Tooth people, the one-armed woman grew another arm!
The one-armed woman also opened her eyes drowsily and blankly. She didn't notice her changes at all. Seeing her child supporting himself on the mud with his arms, she rushed over and hugged the child.
At this moment, she was shocked to see her new arms and palms!
"Grow, grow?"
She woke up as if from a dream and looked down at her child's legs.
Then she quickly scanned the surroundings. When she saw the figure of the Taoist in green, she seemed to understand something. She held the child, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the Taoist in green desperately:
"Medicine King God! You must be the Medicine King God! Please save my child!"
The Medicine King God is the god believed in by the people of Black Tooth, but he does not exist.
The woman's forehead quickly became bloody.
But she soon found that she could no longer kneel down, as if there was an invisible force holding her up.
She was pleasantly surprised to see that the mysterious Taoist, who seemed to have descended from heaven, gently touched the child in her arms.
The child's broken leg quickly grew new flesh and bones, as if by miracle.
The child's face, which had become thin due to hunger, quickly became fuller.
The middle-aged husband who was in a coma suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
The woman couldn't help but open her eyes and mouth wide.
The surrounding Black Tooth people were stunned when they saw this scene.
And when everyone saw the child break free from his mother's arms and jump down.
The woman cried with joy, knelt down first, and shouted:
"Medicine God! Thank you, Medicine God!"
With this shout, the people around also knelt down and shouted "Medicine God".
The Taoist in green looked at the people kneeling on the ground.
He had seen this scene countless times in the Secret Realm of the Pearl.
But at this moment, he had a different feeling.
A hint of joy.
A hint of understanding.
Faintly, he seemed to have grasped the obsession in his heart.
He also vaguely found a way to understand his heart.
He did not stop, and his spiritual sense swept over the refugees from the Black Tooth Country here, cured their injuries and diseases, and then he walked along the direction where the refugees came from, holding a bamboo stick.
Every time he arrived at a place, he would treat the refugees here and eliminate their diseases.
The medical classics from Daqian made it extremely easy for him to treat mortals.
Gradually, he felt more and more incense coming from the north behind him.
The enlightenment in his heart became clearer and clearer.
He vaguely felt that he seemed to be in a very special state.
He did not deliberately maintain this state, but just kept walking south.
He encountered more and more disaster victims.
Finally, as he got closer and closer to the coast, he also saw the figure of the monk.
"Which county are you from? Why are you so reckless? A ferocious beast just appeared here. If you are not careful, you may even lose your life here. Why don't you leave quickly!"
A young monk wearing heavy armor stood in the low air, frowning and speaking urgently to the Taoist in green who was treating the victims.
The Taoist in green raised his head slightly, his eyes swept across the armor full of broken marks and blood stains on the other person's body, then lowered his head and gently pressed his palm on a victim whose half body was cut off.
He said: "Wait a moment."
"He is so injured, can't be saved... Shit!"
The young monk widened his eyes and looked at the Taoist in green and the victim whose body was reconnected in surprise.
The tone changed instantly, and became more respectful:
"You, are you a foundation-building cultivator?"
The Taoist in green did not reply, but walked to the next victim.
There was a gap on his neck, and blood spurted out from his fingers from time to time.
The woman next to him seemed to be his wife. She was anxious but did not dare to urge him. When she saw the Taoist in green, she burst into tears of joy.
The young monk in armor saw the Taoist's actions, hesitated, and advised:
"I am Qian Baimao, senior, you will only waste your mana if you rescue them here. The spiritual energy in the Black Tooth Country is declining. It is very troublesome for us to resist the flood and replenish it. If we are attacked by a beast again, we..."
Before he finished speaking.
In a puddle not far away, a beast covered with thorns, like a seahorse but much bigger, suddenly shot out and stabbed!
"Not good! It's a second-level beast!"
The young monk in armor changed his face wildly.
It’s really what you say!
At the critical moment, without thinking much, he activated his magic power and quickly propped up the heavy armor on his body.
He stood in front of the victims below.
Then he watched the seahorse-like ferocious beast extend its snout and stab at him.
Only then did my heart wake up!
"It's over! Why am I so reckless! Now I have to give in even if I don't die!"
He is just a young monk at the tenth level of Qi refining. Even if he has a special magic weapon handed down from above, how can he withstand the full blow of a second-level ferocious beast?
However, the next moment, he didn't notice anything. He watched the seahorse beast that was almost close to him as if it was hit by an invisible force. It instantly turned into a thin piece of meat and fell down.
Seeing this scene, Qian Baimao's mind was agitated!
He couldn't help but turn his head and look at the Taoist priest in Qingyi who was already walking towards the next victim, and was secretly surprised:
"What a benefit! This senior, I'm afraid he is also very powerful in the foundation building."
"No wonder he doesn't seem to care too much...but we can't take it too lightly."
Thinking of this, he quickly reminded:
"Senior, it's better to be careful. There have been a lot of ferocious sea beasts in this area lately..."
Before he finished speaking, Qian Baimao stiffened slightly and couldn't help but turn around.
Looking towards the water pool soaked by sea water not far away.
He could clearly feel that the eyes hidden under the water were looking towards him.
At this moment, Qian Baimao felt that his hair stood on end and his scalp was numb!
"Did I get into trouble today? What are you talking about?"
But there was no time to think too much, he quickly whispered:
"Senior! I will send out a signal for help! There are at most some first- and second-level ferocious beasts here. As long as we hold on until the real people from Huangdan Valley arrive, everything will be fine!"
Having said that, almost immediately, he activated a signal cannon hidden in his armor for help.
In an instant, a burst of fire shot out from his shoulder, and instantly shot into the sky and exploded!
And this sound was like a catalyst. The ferocious beasts lurking in the water finally couldn't hold it back any longer. Fish-shaped ferocious beasts, blue-spotted striped-tailed rays, sea snakes, starfish and other ferocious beasts were almost there. At the same time, they rushed towards the victims, Qian Baimao and Qingyi Taoist!
Qian Baimao's complexion changed drastically and he said to himself very quickly:
"Second-order low-grade, second-order medium... that's it! This can't be the second-order top grade, right?!"
If it were just a group of second-order low-grade ferocious beasts, the armor on his body could barely hold on, but among these ferocious beasts, there were actually second-order top-grade ferocious beasts mixed in, which he couldn't handle at all.
Realizing this, it is completely impossible to escape.
His face instantly turned pale.
When the victims behind him saw this scene, they couldn't help but scream.
at the same time.
The moment the rescue signal came on, several figures of monks quickly rose from the distance and flew towards them at extremely high speeds!
The Qingyi Taoist's eyes were slightly cold, as his consciousness had already seen everything.
Almost in a flash.
Under Qian Baimao's shocked gaze, the second-level ferocious beasts that rushed towards them seemed to have hit an invisible wall. The bones, flesh and blood all over their bodies shattered into pieces, and their death was extremely tragic!
"this……"
He stared blankly at the pieces of meat pie falling in front of him just like before, and felt that his whole body seemed to be standing in the clouds, filled with an unreal feeling of floating.
Wow!
Several figures finally arrived.
"Master Ni!"
When Qian Baimao saw the leader, he woke up immediately and shouted loudly.
The leader's consciousness scanned the aura of the meat cakes in front of him, and his expression changed slightly.
His eyes first looked at Qian Baimao, and then he looked at Taoist Qing Yi.
He was a golden elixir cultivator, so he immediately noticed the extremely deep aura of the same level on the other party's body.
His face suddenly hardened.
Immediately his eyes were filled with joy, but also hinted at warning, and he raised his hand and said:
"Thank you so much, fellow Taoist, for taking action. I wonder where your fellow immortal is from?"
The Qingyi Taoist looked calm: "They are all in Jin Dynasty."
Master Ni and others all frowned slightly, obviously not satisfied with this answer.
"Fellow?"
Qian Baimao on the side looked at Taoist Qingyi in surprise, and it was only at this moment that he suddenly realized:
"It turns out that he is also Jin Dan Zhenren. No wonder he didn't care so much before... But we can't be too careless."
Seeing Master Ni and others, he subconsciously blurted out:
"Master Ni, Master Rong, Master Pan... Why are you all here? What if a third-level ferocious beast comes to the defense zone?"
The words just left his mouth.
Taoist Qingyi couldn't help but look at Qian Baimao strangely.
But Master Ni smiled and waved his hands and said: "How could it be possible? We just defeated them not long ago, how could it be possible so soon..."
The next moment, the smiles on several people's faces froze.
Seeing the frozen expressions of several people, Qian Baimao couldn't help but feel an inexplicable panic in his heart.
"What's going on?"
"Could it be that you really mean what you're saying? What's going on?!" (End of Chapter)
