Huangshan, whose real name is Yishan.
It is said that Emperor Xuanyuan once made elixirs here, hence the name Huangshan.
So there has always been a rumor about immortality in Huangshan. That is, after Xuanyuan Huangdi succeeded in refining the elixir, he took one himself, and then rode a dragon to heaven, but the remaining elixirs were hidden in an ancient well in Huangshan. middle.
For thousands of years, countless people have wanted to find this well, take out the elixir in the well, and take it to become immortal gods.
The Nie clan are the descendants of the guardian of the Dan Well, and their mission for generations is to protect the Dan Well.
While climbing the mountain, Nie Xiaoli told Xia Tian and others some stories about Huangshan and the ancestors of the Nie family.
“Guardian?” Ning Ruirui first thought of the four guardians in the Netherworld, and she always felt that there might be some connection.
“Yes, that seems to be the name, but no one calls it that now.” Nie Xiaoli thought for a while, and then added: “Because everyone thinks it is just a fairy tale, and no one in the town takes it seriously. ”
Ning Ruichen interrupted at this time: “Xiao Li, I think it may be true. After all, your physique is so special, it can’t be created out of thin air.”
Nie Xiaoli also had this doubt in his heart, especially after opening his eyes in the past two days, he always felt that there might be something hidden in this mythical story.
“But how did your Nie family get involved with Xia Tian’s master Zhang Mingtuo?” Ning Ruirui suddenly remembered a question and couldn’t help but ask it.
Nie Xiaoli shook his head and said: “I don’t know about this. Before today, I have never heard of Zhang Mingtuo.” “I do know a little bit.” Nie’s mother said slowly: “This may be related to It is related to an old incident forty years ago. There seemed to be a plague at that time, and many people died in the clan. I was still young at that time, and I only remember that many doctors came to the town. Later
When all the patients who came in disappeared, someone spread the news that a quack doctor named Zhang Mingtuo had killed those people. ”
“Don’t think about it, this must be a rumor.” Okay, but he is definitely not a quack.”
Mother Nie was a little hesitant, obviously afraid of offending Xia Tian, so she said: “These are stories passed down from the previous generation, and I actually don’t know much about them.”
“What on earth is going on? Just call and ask your master.” Ning Ruirui said to Xia Tian.
Xia Tian lazily said: “I don’t call men, little long-legged girl, you can do it.”
“I’ll call if I want.” Ning Ruirui was speechless and took out her cell phone from Xia Tian’s pocket, pulled out Zhang Mingtuo’s number, and called him.
“What’s the matter?” After a while, Zhang Mingtuo answered the phone with a rather impatient tone.
“That, Master, is me.” Ning Ruirui replied softly.
Zhang Mingtuo’s attitude changed instantly, and he said with a smile: “Oh, it turns out to be Ruirui, what do you want from me?”
“That’s it.” Ning Ruirui briefly recounted what she had experienced in Niejia Town, and then asked: “So, I would like to ask the master what grudges you have with the Nie family. What happened ten years ago? “”You actually went to Nie Town, haha.” Zhang Mingtuo chuckled twice, and then said lightly: “Forty years ago, it was not complicated at that time. He escaped from nowhere and wanted to make a big name, so he looked for weird things everywhere
I want to cure diseases that others cannot cure. If others cannot cure it easily, I will also cure it. What happened in Niejia Town happened to me when I was traveling to Huangshan. ”
Next, Zhang Mingtuo briefly talked about some things that happened in Niejia Town forty years ago, as well as some rumors he had heard about the Niejia Town.
It is said that about a hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Nie family found the ancient well where Emperor Xuanyuan made elixirs.
But the well was bottomless, and the cold was overwhelming. The lower it went, the colder it got. After a hundred meters deep, the bone-deep cold was unbearable for ordinary people.
More than forty years ago, a man of extraordinary talent and beauty appeared in the Nie family. He reached the bottom of a well with only his strong body and took out half of a broken golden pill.
After taking half of the golden elixir, the genius of the Nie family suddenly went crazy, like a living corpse, hurting and biting people everywhere.
Everyone who has been injured by him will be infected with a weird virus and turn into weird, half-dead zombies.
At the same time, the black evil spirit kept pouring out of the alchemy well, polluting almost half of Huangshan. People who had been hit by the evil spirit would also mutate.
In just three days, the Nie family could no longer bear it and had to seek help from the outside world.
A lot of people came at that time, including many so-called famous doctors at that time. However, they were busy for several days and could not find the cause of the disease, nor could they cure the patients, let alone relieve the evil spirit.
Man Yan was only temporarily under control of his illness to ensure that the situation would not escalate further.
At that time, Zhang Mingtuo was visiting Huangshan Mountain. When he heard about this, he immediately rushed to Niejia Town.
First, he directly killed the sick Nie family genius with the Nine Needles of Ghost Gate, then developed an antidote to make those infected return to normal, and finally helped temporarily block the evil-smelling mouth. Danjing.
I just don’t know why, but a few people who took the antidote still died inexplicably.
Those Nie family members instantly fell out of favor, suddenly forgetting Zhang Mingtuo’s kindness in saving their entire family, and in turn wanted to kill Zhang Mingtuo.
Fortunately, Zhang Mingtuo has never been a person who repays favors. He specializes in treating strange diseases just out of pure interest. He became famous all over the world by the way. Seeing the bad opportunity, he ran away in advance and escaped disaster again.
But from then on, Zhang Mingtuo became a taboo that could not be mentioned in Niejia Town, and the well was sealed.
……
“That’s actually what happened.” Mother Nie compared what Zhang Mingtuo said with the impressions she had when she was a child. Sure enough, she was able to explain the incomprehensible parts of it, and she instantly believed most of it.
Nie Xiaoli also nodded. She understood the thoughts of the elders of the Nie family very well. Not only could they do this kind of thing of repaying kindness with hatred, but they were also very skilled at it.
“Master, what is in that well?” Ning Ruirui thought of another question, “Is there really the elixir of immortality left by the Yellow Emperor in it?”
“Haha, who knows about this kind of thing.” Zhang Mingtuo was noncommittal about this, and said lightly: “You will know what is at the bottom of the well, just let Xia Tian go and see it. Anyway, with his ability, he can definitely do it. Go.”
Xia Tian was not polite at all, and said bluntly: “Master, if you don’t know, just say you don’t know. Why are you pretending?” “I’m too lazy to pay attention to you!” Zhang Mingtuo was a little angry after hearing Xia Tian’s words, but he just scolded her for a while. After two sentences, he couldn’t help but remind: “In fact, there are not many people in the Nie family who can do anything, but there are two people. You must pay attention. If you are not careful, it may really happen.
The boat will capsize. ”
Xia Tian still disagrees.
“Which two people?” Ning Ruirui couldn’t help but ask.
Zhang Mingtuo recalled briefly, and then said: “A man named Nie Yunhai, the third son of the Nie family forty years ago. This man was a master of poison, and he had a vicious mind. He was doing things secretly back then, otherwise the situation would have been different. It won’t be that serious.”
Ning Ruirui then asked: “Where is the other one?” “I don’t know if the other one is still alive.” Zhang Mingtuo said slowly: “My name is Nie Renlong. Forty years ago, the Nie family became old. Now He is almost one hundred and twenty years old, so he should be dead, but it is a bit hard for the Nie family to talk about evil things
No less. In short, it’s better to be careful. Especially in Xia Tian, even if you are truly invincible, it doesn’t mean that you won’t be plotted against, so be careful with the Wannian Ship. ”
Xia Tian said lazily: “It’s impossible for someone to plot against me. Master, you should just worry about your own business. Besides, if the boat capsizes, it won’t hurt me.”
“That’s up to you.” Zhang Mingtuo said calmly: “I still have things to deal with, so I won’t talk nonsense to you.”
“Okay, thank you, master.” Ning Ruirui thanked her seriously and hung up the phone.
Nie Xiaoli said at this time: “That Nie Yunhai is our third uncle. He became a monk forty years ago and is now the abbot of Yunxian Temple.”
“How many people from your grandfather’s generation are there now?” Ning Ruirui asked casually.
“My grandfather had a total of nine brothers and sisters, but only four are still alive today.” Nie Xiaoli thought about it in his mind, and then said with his fingers: “Although my grandfather is the head of the family, in fact, The seventh child is dead, the third child is Nie Yunhai, and the fourth child is Nie Yunmeng, a Taoist priest who is currently in charge.
Tea garden. There is also Nie Yunyan, the ninth aunt’s grandmother, who is a member of the clan elders’ association and lives in the mountainside villa. ”
“Do you know about Nie Renlong?” Ning Ruirui asked.
Nie Xiaoli shook his head: “I’ve never heard of it.”
“I haven’t heard of it either.” Mother Nie also shook her head. If Zhang Mingtuo hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t have known there was such a person in the clan.
“No matter what, everyone should be more careful.” Ning Ruirui reminded her at the right time: “I always feel that something is not right, and I feel a little uncomfortable in my chest.”
When Xia Tian heard this, his eyes lit up: “Really, little long-legged girl, if you feel uncomfortable, I’ll help you feel it.”
“Let’s play.” Ning Ruirui swatted away Xia Tian’s errant hands and glared at him: “Your master also said that you should be careful.”
“He is just old, talks too much, and is less courageous.” Xia Tian said with a smile: “It is also possible that he was worn out by the new junior wife.”
The people walked for a while and finally reached a fork.
Going to the left is to go to the Mid-Levels Villa, and to the right is naturally going to Yunxiang Tea Garden. The group of people will split up here.
“Mom, don’t be soft-hearted, and don’t be fooled by those people. Pick up your sister and leave immediately.” Nie Xiaoli warned her mother carefully.
“Mom knows.” Mother Nie also reminded: “Your fourth uncle has a weird temper and may not be able to help us. You should also be careful.”
Soon, the group of people separated neatly.
After they separated, Xia Tian and Nie Xiaoli obviously speeded up their pace and quickly climbed over half of the mountain.
Not long after, a young Taoist priest came out from behind the boulder on the roadside and recited the words in a clear and simple manner: “You two, it’s better to stop here. If you go any further, you may be in danger of your life.”
