Li Huowang raised the pestle in his hand and hit it into the jar in a bored way, slowly grinding the flowing bluestone mixed with mud into powder.
Although the cave was damp and cold, he only wore a rough cloth coat. But he didn't care, as if he didn't pay attention to it.
He was not alone in the cave, but there were also other men and women who also tied their hair and linen ropes.
The only difference between them and Li Huowang is that they have obvious external defects, including albinism and polio.
All kinds of congenital and acquired body deformities can be found here. The small material room karst cave looks like a museum of deformities.
The work of these people is the same as that of Li Huowang, but the work is different. There are gold, stone and medicine, but it is obvious that some people are not comfortable with their work.
"Ah!" A woman screamed in horror, which attracted everyone to look.
At one side of the cave, a fat boy with harelip smiled obscenely, trying to pull an albino girl into his arms.
"I'll just do it and make sure that it's OK, hey, hey, hey~"
Li Huowang ignored the noise and closed his eyes to continue his work.
Listening to the woman's cry, Li Huowang became more and more miserable. Angry, he secretly scolded, picked up the stone medicine jar with one hand and stood up.
"Duo" stone collides with the bone and makes a dull sound.
The fat man with cracked lips sat on the ground stunned, apparently stunned by this blow. Two seconds later, he twisted his face and cried with pain, covering his wounds.
The white haired and white skinned girl who escaped from the tarnished fate hid behind Li Huowang with her clothes in fear.
"I tell you! After you finish, do you know what kind of teacher I am? Let him know about it, and he will kill you!" The fat man with cracked lips threatened angrily.
"He's nothing! He's not even fart!" Li Huowang said, shocked and silent.
The other people present never thought that the man in front of them would dare to say such words.
Looking at the look of these so-called senior brothers in front of him, Li Huowang took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
"What's wrong with me? How can I be angry with these things? My personality is not so public. I can't let these things affect my personality. I am not the real me just now. I am calm and calm."
While Li Huowang was still calming down, he heard someone calling him at the door.
"Younger Martial Brother Li, Younger Martial Sister Wang, the master asked you to wait." The tall young man who shouted was obviously different from Li Huowang. He was wearing a blue Taoist robe.
Although the robe looked very old and the cuffs were washed white, it was much better than the rag on Li Huowang's body.
This man embraced a horse's tail and brushed the dust with one hand, and looked at the younger generation with a hint of arrogance in their eyes.
When the young Taoist appeared, the fat man with a broken head and bleeding blood suddenly showed a gloating expression. "Ha ha! You're done!! It's your turn today."
But Li Huowang completely ignored him and turned around to follow a woman with a crooked mouth and drooling toward the door. The woman's face was pale and looked unhealthy.
Just two steps away, I found that someone was pulling his sleeve, holding him back. Li Huowang turns around and finds that it is the albino girl he saved.
Tearful, she kept shaking her head, her eyes full of fear.
The apathetic Li Huowang was unmoved. He shook his sleeve and strode forward.
From the stockroom, there is a larger cave. There are many caves on the wall of the cave that are used for other purposes like the stockroom. From the appearance of potholes, the craftsmanship of the people who built this place is obviously not good.
The whole cave is very large, and tunnels of all sizes extend in all directions, just like an enlarged version of the ant cave.
Pieces of rotten peach trees were nailed to each small cave knot, and the names of each cave, the Holy Palace, the Old Law Hall, the Qingzu Hall, and the Siyu Hall, were engraved with three points of strength.
A naturally formed karst cave was made to look like a museum.
Just as they were walking along the cave, the woman with a crooked mouth beside them took out a black thing from her pocket, suddenly handed it to Li Huowang, and said in her silly voice, "Do you want to eat... thin sugar?"
Li Huowang frowned slightly, as if he knew the other party's foolishness. He took it impatiently and put it directly into his sleeve.
Seeing Li Huowang taking it over, she also took a piece out of her pocket and put it into her mouth. She continued to say foolishly, "Hello, Shifu... have sugar with Shifu..."
Li Huowang didn't plan to say anything about it. The two continued to walk for about a quarter of an hour, and a tall, antique, blackened alchemy furnace appeared in front of him.
The smoke emitting cauldron poked straight at the top of the cave, and the huge red stove looked like a metal hill.
From far to near, Li Huowang watched the furnace grow larger, and finally the shadow of the furnace directly submerged him, which made him feel depressed.
What made him feel depressed was not only the huge five layer red stove, but also a figure in front of the red stove.
Seen from the back, he is wearing a blue Taoist robe, hairpins and crowns, and white hair on both temples. He looks very immortal.
Sitting on the ground, he seemed to be doing the same thing as Li Huowang before. He took the tamping rod and pounded it again and again, but the tamping rod in his hand was obviously much larger and looked like a giant pole.
With the falling together, the sound of the impact of gold and stone reverberated in the cave.
"Shifu... Shifu!" The oblique mouthed woman clumsily pinched the thumb of her left hand with her right hand, put four fingers of her left hand on the fingers of her right hand, and put her hands on her chest to bow to the back. Her eyes were full of respect.
As soon as she spoke, the harsh crash stopped.
As soon as he turned around, Li Huowang's pupils shrank slightly, although he had been prepared.
The front side of the Taoist priest is quite different from the back side. From the back side, we can see that it is a disgusting old man with a mangy head. The scattered yellow teeth in Earth Baotian's mouth are exposed to the air.
"Coming? Good disciple, let me wait."
With a wave of his dirty Taoist robe, the old Taoist jumped up, grabbed the crooked woman's neck with one hand and withdrew.
Before the silly woman could say another word, she was thrown into a half man high stone jar. The next moment, the ferocious looking master held the stone medicine tamper rod with both hands and smashed it down heavily.
"Ding Chou prolongs my life, Ding Hai protects my soul, Jia Zi protects my body, Jia Xu protects my shape, Jia Shen secures my life, Jia Wu guards my soul, and Jia Chen is my soul!"
He lifted the stone urn with one hand, which weighed several hundred jin, and poured it into the alchemy furnace in front of him. Then his extremely excited hands jerked into the air.
"Start the furnace and make pills!"
The two Taoist boys with exaggerated blushes came out of the shadow, and while fanning, they poured various condiments into the furnace, including various gold and stone powders and many living things.
After a while, a strange rich aroma filled the air.
At this moment, the master of the mangy head closed his eyes and took a deep breath, stroked his chin without a few whiskers, and his dirty and ugly face showed a satisfied expression.
When he slowly opened his eyes, put his hands behind his back, and turned to look at Li Huowang. "I heard you call me a fart? Is that true?"
Suddenly, the air around seemed to solidify.
Looking at the so-called master who killed people without blinking, Li Huowang was unmoved. He slowly closed his eyes to calm his breathing. He said to himself, "You can't fool me. It's all fake. It's all fake."
"Speak! Mute? Hmm?!" With the footsteps of the master getting closer and closer, he was mixed with the stench of blood, which came like a wall.
The trembling Li Huowang clenched his teeth and opened his eyes with all his strength.
The cave Taoist temple, which was just dark and full of depression, disappeared in an instant. A bright and clean ward with fresh air appeared in front of him, and his lower body was bound to the bed by a cloth belt.
