Chapter 2 Millennium Aurora Orchid(1/2)
Chapter 2 Millennium Aurora Orchid
The night is deep and the snow is quiet.
The entire Shaogang Temple, even the entire Dongyi Mountain, or the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, were already in a state of sleep.
No one knew that at this moment, Shaogang Temple lost a sweeping monk who seemed extremely inconspicuous on weekdays.
A deafening voice sounded in Lin Li's mind without any warning!
Before Lin Li could figure out the situation, he suddenly felt dizzy. After a few breaths, when he opened his eyes, he found himself standing in a strange place.
And what's even more strange is that Lin Li also found himself wearing a black robe and a mask on his face!
"You and the five others are from all over the world and have never known each other, but they are all people who have spiritual resources but have no way to practice. They are all due to their fate to get together, and from now on, they will form the "Demon Hall" under our rank to help us complete some things.
This will help you embark on the path of practice you have always dreamed of!
But this matter is the highest secret of the "Demon Hall". You and others must not inform others, including you, nor can you discuss it privately, nor can you ask about the other party's identity.
Otherwise, there will be no mercy to kill!"
After saying this, the voice in Lin Li's mind became depressed, as if he wanted to give Lin Li some time to digest.
Lin Li turned his head and looked carefully, and found that there were four people wearing black robes and masks standing beside him.
The night was too dark and they were wearing black robes, so everyone didn't notice each other at the first time.
Lin Li guessed that it was the first time they encountered such a strange thing like him, because they were as panicked and as confused as they were.
Before Lin Li and the others could speak, the sound of a bell in their minds, without emotional fluctuations, echoed again.
"You are now in front of Baicaotang in the capital of Longping. Tonight's mission is to get a herb called 'Millennium Aurora Orchid', which is the treasure of this store. You must get it within two hours, otherwise it will be considered a failure in the mission!"
"If the mission is successful, each person will be rewarded with a 'Qi Guiding Pill'."
"If the mission fails, one member of the hall will be randomly wiped out."
The echoing sound in my mind gradually disappeared, leaving only five teenagers in their teenage years staring at each other in a confused look.
"What is the 'Qi Induction Pill'?" Lin Li calmed down and asked.
As soon as he said that, everyone was stunned, because his voice was extremely old and hoarse, with an indescribable corruption and vicissitudes.
Then everyone felt relieved and knew that this was just a disguise given to them by the "masters behind the scenes".
From appearance to voice, the "master behind the scenes" can be said to have taken great pains!
"'Qi Gui Dan' is an important pill for ordinary people to draw qi into their bodies. Without this pill, no matter how good the qualification is, it will be useless! However, its production cost is high, and the main medicinal materials have always been scarce, so it is known as the "small foundation building pill"! If the qualification is good, a 'Qi Gui Dan' will be enough to enter the Qi Refining Period and become a true monk."
The person who spoke this time was the voice of an old woman, and it was obviously disguised.
However, when everyone heard that there were still girls in the hall, they were shocked.
"Become a real monk?"
Lin Li didn't care much, and most of his energy was spent capturing the meaning of this last sentence!
The talking girl took a step forward, and her black robe swung back and forth in the night, looking a little wide-minded, "Yes, so the 'qi-induced pill' is very important!"
When Lin Li heard her affirmation again, a strong strange light suddenly emanated from her eyes!
Including the other three people around, they were also a little excited. As the "master behind the scenes" said, they were all people who were extremely eager to become practitioners but had no choice but to suffer.
If you can become a monk, then this trip will definitely be worth it tonight!
"What are you going to be too late? Who can tell me to open the door? Let's buy the 'Thousand-year Aurora Orchid'?" Another middle-aged man's voice sounded.
"It's not that simple. Let's not talk about whether there are people in the store at midnight. Even if there are people, our dress is so weird, do you think he will believe us?" said a childish voice.
Although she was very disguised, Lin Li could still hear the voice of another girl at once.
There are five people in the Demon Hall, and two of them are women?
Lin Li unconsciously looked at the last person who had not spoken yet, wanting to see whether he was a man or a woman.
Obviously, there are not only one who has this idea.
Suddenly he met the eight gazes of Lin Li and others. The last person was obviously a little scared. He took a few steps back and said cowardly: "I, I don't know anything."
He is also the shortest in the Demon Hall, so Lin Li thinks he should be younger than others.
But his voice was rough and ruthless, with a buzzing echo.
Hearing his voice, Lin Li knew that among the five people in the Demon Hall, he brought him three men and two women.
"Why don't we go home and get some money? It's enough for two hours anyway! My home is quite close to Baicaotang!" said the middle-aged man.
The old woman's voice shook her head slowly, "It doesn't work at all. You didn't realize that we are not in our own sect at all? This is the capital of Longping Kingdom, and we are not even in our own dynasty! And there are countless Baicaotang branches in the world!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Li suddenly woke up!
Yes, I am no longer in Shaogang Temple, Dongyi Mountain, and even in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Thinking about it carefully is terrifying!
Lin Li had never heard of Longping Kingdom. At least there was no such country around the Great Zhou Dynasty. So where are you now?
"I heard that Longping is a dynasty in the Baihai area. If this is true, then wouldn't we be near the Baihai now?" the girl with the childish voice said tremblingly!
Bai Hai?
Lin Li was indescribable for palpitations!
The Baihai is the northernmost sea in the world. In other words, within a few breaths, you have already "run" from the hinterland to the extreme north?
This made the five people feel cold from the inside out, and they have greater fear of the strength of the "master behind the scenes".
Even immortals can not do it if they can capture the five of them from all over the world to the extreme north in an instant!
At least Lin Li knew that Abbot Wu Cang from his Shaogang Temple would definitely not be able to do this.
And Abbot Wu Cang's cultivation level is already at the level of great perfection of the elixir!
So doesn’t this mean that the strength of the “master behind the scenes” is much more terrifying than the Great Perfection of Jiedan?
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to capture himself from Shaogang Temple without knowing it!
Lin Li subconsciously raised his palm, trying to chant the Buddha's name to calm down the storm in his heart, but when he was halfway through, he found something wrong, so he pretended to dust off the black robe on his chest and then put down his hand.
"This is not possible, that is not possible. Could it be that we can steal openly and secretly?" said the middle-aged man.
Among the five, he is the tallest and older, and naturally he is much more distinct than the subjective wishes of Lin Li and others.
"I'm afraid there is only one way!" The old woman hesitated for a moment, and said with a thorn in her mouth.
"Hmph! If you want to steal, you will steal. I, Xu Shaojie, don't want this opportunity!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said angrily: "I have been reading the books of sages in Lingshang Kingdom since I was a child, in order to obtain fame and achieve greatness. How could I be such a robber and dog thief for this illusory immortal fate?!"
After saying that, he suddenly took off the mask that was white and had no facial features, then took off his black robe and threw it on the ground, "What 'Demon Hall', I think the person behind the scenes is just a remnant of the Demon Sect! I advise you not to be merciless, otherwise you will definitely be chased in the future..."
Before he finished speaking, the tall white-faced scholar suddenly became stunned, and then a huge look of fear and pain burst out in his eyes!
His mouth was wide open, he pinched his neck with one hand and reached towards Lin Li and others with the other, as if he was shouting "Save me"!
But he could no longer make a sound!
Then, in front of Lin Li and four others, the white-faced scholar began to "melt"!
And the most terrifying thing is that he actually "melt" from the inside to the outside, and his entire internal organs turned into a pool of scarlet and pungent blood, which penetrated out of his clothes and flowed onto the ground!
His mouth kept opening, his eyes filled with desire to survive.
But Lin Li and others were already scared to death and did not dare to move at all.
After just a few breaths.
The white-faced scholar disappeared.
It disappeared without any signs and without any trace from this world.
There was nothing on the ground, even a piece of cloth was left behind, only a pool of blood that kept seeping into the ground.
Lin Li and the other two looked at each other, their eyes full of incredible shock and fear!
The "master behind the scenes" was so cruel that he had already taught Lin Li and others a vivid lesson.
Not to mention anything else, at least Lin Li himself would never dare to have the idea of resisting any more.
"What should we do now? Hurry up the time." The woman with the childish voice was already broken and said tremblingly.
After all, the "master behind the scenes" have just clearly stated the time limit. If this medicinal material is not found within the specified time, I am afraid that one of them will be tortured to death.
"I, I'll try..." A voice that was both rough and cowardly started to sound.
Everyone looked back and found that it was the last man who spoke just now. This man was not tall, but his head was quite big, and he looked a little strange.
He walked forward, touched his body for a while, and actually took out a golden stick, which looked similar to a woman's hairpin.
Then he penetrated into the closed door crack of Baicaotang and began to pull up the door bolt bit by bit.
Click!
A moment later, a crisp sound came from behind the door, and everyone was happy and understood that the door bolt had been opened.
When I entered Baicaotang, a smell of medicine came to my nose, which made the woman with the sound of a child unable to help but want to pinch Qiong's nose, but after touching it, she only touched a cold mask and put down her hand awkwardly.
To be continued...
