Pagoda Immortality

It was noon five days later.

Lu Li was about to go out to the medicine garden on the east side of Tianjue Peak to help Xiao Jue collect herbs, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside, and he couldn't help but frown.

These days, Lu Li has been accompanying Xiao Jue to refine pills, until last night because he had to stop because the four herbs for refining the Ningzhen Pill lacked the Xuanzhu grass.

During this period, Xiao Jue saw that Lu Li performed well, and asked him to practice fire control.

However, after his hand shook and burned the spiritual medicine in the furnace to ashes, Xiao Jue stopped him from refining with a painful face.

Because Xiao Jue's spiritual consciousness was seriously consumed due to continuous refining, he prepared to rest for two days, and told Lu Li to go to the Tianjue Peak medicine garden to collect ten Xuanzhu grasses.

Lu Li was naturally eager, because he saw the Leihuolan in Xiao Jue's hands last time, and this time he could go to the medicine garden to see if there was any Leihuolan. If there was, he would definitely make good use of it.

When he opened the door, Lu Li was surprised to find that the person who came was actually the fat man in the kitchen, holding a few plates of fragrant stir-fried dishes and a pot of wine.

This fat man rarely goes out on weekdays, why did he come here today?

"Junior brother, can you chat?" Min He said with a smile.

"Senior brother, please." Lu Li stepped aside.

After entering the room, Min He walked straight to the stone table and sat down, took out the wine and food, and poured a bowl of wine for Lu Li after he sat down. Without waiting for Lu Li to drink, he drank a bowl by himself and said:

"Junior brother, what do you think is the purpose of our practice?"

Lu Li was puzzled by the other party's behavior. After thinking for a while, he said, "If it were three years ago, I think my biggest ideal would be to fly in the sky like what is said in the book."

"What about now?"

"Now." Lu Li pondered for a while and said, "I want to become stronger and don't have to look at people's faces."

"Yes, I thought I could live freely after practicing, but until now I found that a dog in the secular world lives more freely than us..." Min He shook his head and gulped down another bowl of wine:

"So...what are we here for?"

Lu Li shook his head, "Practicing is like climbing a mountain, In order to reach the top, we sometimes have to crawl. The way to climb may be long or short. If you hold on, the top is in front of you, and you can see all the other mountains. If you can't hold on, the way back is easy, but it will be difficult to get up again..."

"And we are now in the stage of crawling. We must not only be careful not to fall down due to instability, but also be careful not to be thrown stones at us by people walking in front of us."

"Sometimes, being a dog is just to prevent people walking in front from taking advantage of us. Of course, if we can get help from people in front of us, it would be a pleasant surprise."

"We can be dogs, but we can't be dogs for life. When you surpass the person who used to treat you as a dog, you can kick him down the mountain and make him fall into ruin..."

Speaking of this, Lu Li stopped talking. He said so much just because he felt that this person had the intention to retreat, and he just gave him some advice out of the kindness hidden in his heart.

For Lu Li himself, no one can shake his will to practice. In this life, he must stand on the top of the mountain and take a look at the people crawling under this beautiful land.

"So, this is what cultivation is."

Min He's eyes became clear instantly after hearing this. He stood up and bowed deeply to Lu Li, "Junior brother, your kindness will never be forgotten by Min He. If I can go on, I will definitely repay you."

He put a jade bottle on the table and said, "Open it tomorrow." Then he hurried away.

Lu Li frowned and stared at the jade bottle. Just as he was about to speak, Min He had disappeared.

He shook his head, put the jade bottle into the Space Hall, and then walked out of the door towards the west path.

Lu Li was able to have such a feeling, in fact, he realized it after experiencing Qingliang Mountain and Qin Shouren's death. People in the cultivation world are working hard to become stronger. It is difficult to distinguish right from wrong, but there are enemies and friends.

On the other side, after Min He returned to the kitchen, he carried a package on his back and carried another package on the east path. He still limped when he walked, but his eyes were full of light.

After a while, Min He came to the cliff at the back mountain again, in front of the cave where Deng Qingsheng was imprisoned.

He knocked on the door and shook the package in his hand. Blood was still dripping from the bottom of the package: "Brother Deng, what you want."

Deng Qingsheng inside was delighted when he heard this. He opened the iron door with a clang, revealing a square hole, and said impatiently, "You killed him, hurry up, give it to me!"

As long as he got the head, he would have the evidence. There were only a few of them in Tianjue Peak, and he was locked up here and couldn't get out at all. When the time came, he just had to make up a reason and said that Min He killed Lu Li to please him. He didn't need to do it himself, and the other party would die.

It would be great to kill two birds with one stone.

Min He looked at Deng Qingsheng indifferently: "Brother Deng, don't you think something is missing?"

"What is missing?" Deng Qingsheng was stunned and said in a deep voice, "You have to let me take a look first, right?"

"Of course it's okay to take a look."

Min He slowly opened a corner of the package, and the head inside was exactly the same as Lu Li. The head opened his eyes wide and was horrified.

"Good, great!" After seeing the head, Deng Qingsheng immediately felt that the matter was almost done. He took out two jade bottles and threw them out, "Here you go, give me his dog head quickly, I'm going to kick it a few times!"

Min He picked up the jade bottle and looked at it. He suddenly showed a playful look and forced the package through the gap. "Senior Brother Deng, please check it carefully. I am absolutely reliable in my work!"

Reliable?

Deng Qingsheng looked at it strangely, thinking that you will soon know what is reliable. He couldn't wait to open the package, looked at it again and again, and suddenly pointed at Min He and laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, you bitch, you actually killed Lu Li just to please me. You are dead, you are dead, hahaha..."

"Yeah?"

Unexpectedly, Min He didn't panic at all and still stared at Deng Qingsheng jokingly, "Look what's under that neck?"

neck?

Deng Qingsheng was stunned and stared at the broken part of the head and neck. Then he discovered that there seemed to be a piece of yellow paper among the bloody flesh. He pulled it out and looked at it. His expression suddenly changed, "Transformation Talisman! Min He, how dare you fucking use the Transformation Talisman?" Come and deceive me!"

The moment Deng Qingsheng pulled out the transformation talisman, the original head of 'Lu Li' turned into a dog's head!

"Hahahahaha..." Min He laughed unscrupulously, "Deng Qingsheng, do you think I will really help you kill people? You are too self-righteous! Hahahaha...don't you want to Dog head? It’s just what you want, hahahaha..."

"Min He, you, do you know the consequences of teasing me! Do you believe that I will kill you first when I come out!" Deng Qingsheng gritted his teeth, and his eyes were about to spit out fire. He did not expect that this person who usually accepts everything, How dare the obedient fat man tease him like this.

"Kill me?" Min He sneered, "We have to wait until you come out." At this point, his face suddenly turned cold, and he stared directly at Deng Qingsheng, "Deng Qingsheng, you'd better live well. Sooner or later I will get back the revenge of my broken leg!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.

"Bastard, don't go, don't go!" Deng Qing was so angry that he slammed the door wildly. In his anger, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Tianjue Peak is very large. There is a mountain col at the end of the path to the east of the small square. The mountain col is shrouded in white mist all year round. On the edge of the white mist, you can vaguely see a wall surrounded by brown logs and a grass pavilion.

At the end of the path is the thatched pavilion. At this time, an old man in gray clothes who is over fifty years old is sitting cross-legged in the thatched pavilion. He seems to be practicing.

Lu Li stepped forward, took out the prohibition token given to him by Xiao Jue and said respectfully, "Senior, I am here to collect medicine on the order of the great elder."

The old man slowly opened his eyes, raised his head and stared at the prohibition token in Lu Li's hand before standing up and saying in a hoarse voice, "What medicine?"

"Xuanzhu grass."

"How many."

"Ten, ten plants."

"There are a total of fifteen Xuanzhu grass in the medicine garden. They are one mile to the east. Go and get them yourself." As he spoke, he spread his palms and a palm-sized jade tablet suddenly appeared in his hand.

The jade medal is light blue and has a cyan metal chain on it.

The old man waved to Lu Li, "Come here."

Lu Li didn't know why, so he walked over. The old man suddenly waved his hand, and the jade token flew towards him with a hiss, and was hung around his neck before he could react. Then the chain shrank, almost tightening around his neck. Lu Li's expression changed and he immediately started to pull it off.

"do not move!"
