Shen Lian's face was covered with corpse spots, his breath was weak, and his eyes moved feebly.
Looks like a dead man.
I didn't get too close.
The Centipede Cultivation practice is weird. He lies on the ground, releases the green centipede from his belly button, and hunts poisonous insects around to replenish the toxins.
Maybe, the green centipede will come out and hurt someone.
A thought occurred to me. Those dead black scorpions at the foot of the mountain must have been poisoned by Shen Lian with centipede venom.
To poison so many scorpions, a large amount of centipede venom must be used.
It's really possible that he released green centipedes to replenish the toxins.
I stood two meters away, laughed, and said, "Isn't this Taoist Shen! Is he releasing centipedes or absorbing corpse energy? Why did he become a living dead again?"
Shen Lian rolled his eyes, showing surprise, and said with all his strength: "Doctor Dong, save me. I have been lying here for three days and three nights. My green centipede also died... fell off."
I get closer.
He was found to have chapped lips, was dying, and suffered from excessive physical exertion.
Swollen and deformed legs are symptoms of poisoning.
I then stepped forward to take his pulse, which was very weak, and there were traces of scorpion bites all over his legs.
Stiffness will occur, the legs will become swollen, and after a while, they will begin to rot.
If he hadn't practiced with corpse energy and carried centipede poison, which could slow down his breathing and fight against the scorpion poison, he would have been doomed long ago.
"You are also a scheming person. How could you be poisoned by scorpion here and unable to move?"
I asked curiously.
"I thought that if I got the white jade centipede, I wouldn't have to be afraid of the highly poisonous scorpions on Pingshan Mountain. But after entering Pingshan Mountain, with a blow to the head, all the centipede poison of the green centipede was used up, and eventually it died."
"I fell here and planned to use white jade centipede to heal my wounds. But it didn't work at all... After waiting for three days, I always met a living person."
Shen Lian said excitedly.
"The white jade centipede is so precious. How could Luo Zhou give it to you?"
I couldn't help laughing.
The white earth egg absorbs the white moonlight and gets a real white jade centipede.
Shen Lian believed this, ran to Pingshan, and ended up like this.
How unlucky.
"That bastard, I'm at odds with him. He caused me to break into this place and almost lost my life. Even my son, the Green Centipede, died."
Shen Lian looked annoyed and said feebly.
"Master, this Black Wind Taoist has made things difficult for you. Let him be here to fend for himself. His death here was caused by Luo Zhou and his own greed. It has nothing to do with us."
Said the Snake Great Immortal.
Shen Lian said anxiously: "Dr. Dong, as long as you save me, I am willing to work as a cow or a horse for you... I have been so desperate these three days that I can't move or die. I have figured out many problems. It is because of my many evil deeds that I am today." Retribution. Please save me... I am willing to be a good person."
"I apologize to you. Snake Great Immortal, Baipizi, I shouldn't have slandered you before!"
His eyes became sincere.
"It's easy to kill someone, but it's hard to save someone. If he is willing to change his ways, give him a chance. If he breaks his promise, we will get rid of him later."
I laughed, looked up at the Great Snake Immortal, and said.
Shen Lian's green centipede had been raised for decades and died on Pingshan Mountain.
It is impossible for him to use black wind to harm people.
Snake Immortal said: "I understand, everything will be at the discretion of the young master."
I helped Shen Lian up a little, gave him a pill designed to relieve scorpion poison, and cut open the swollen parts of his legs with a knife. Black poisonous blood flowed out, and I wrapped them with gauze.
Then take some sugar and salt, dissolve them in water, and let him drink them together.
Wait until your stomach has recovered a bit before eating solid food.
"Shen Lian used to act viciously and unkindly, which was a sign of disappointment in human nature. But his benefactor was unparalleled in his kindness and righteousness, and Shen Lian was deeply moved. If he acts to hurt his benefactor again in the future, he will be worse than a pig or a dog."
Shen Lian felt a little better and said:
I waved my hand and asked: "Is there anything you want in the bottle mountain?"
Shen Lian was silent for a few seconds and said: "To be honest, I came to Pingshan for two things. One is that there are extremely powerful scorpions in Pingshan. I came here specially to have a look."
"What scorpion? A golden-tailed scorpion?"
I asked.
"Because of Pingshan's unique terrain, and the fact that Taoist priests are refining elixirs, there are many varieties of scorpions, and some of them may be able to cultivate inner elixirs. If I can find an inner elixir, it will definitely help my practice."
"However, after experiencing a catastrophe, I no longer ask for this thing. I am willing to find this thing and dedicate it to my benefactor."
Shen Lian said.
After a pause, he continued: "The second thing is that Gurechang from the Five Sacred Mountains may have come to Pingshan Mountain after leaving the Five Sacred Mountains."
My heart moved. Meng Xilou and Gu Rechang both appeared in Pingshan.
Then this trip to Pingshan is really the right one.
"How do you know that Gurechang is on this bottle mountain?"
I asked.
"My guess is that Gu Rechang failed to make elixirs in the Five Sacred Mountains, so he might come to Pingshan Mountain. This is the treasure land for the demon Taoists to make elixirs. If I hadn't been bad at it, I would have come here long ago..."
Shen Lian said.
A whooshing sound.
Chun Ya quickly drew her bow, and a long arrow flew out, nailing a large scorpion twenty meters away to the ground.
The giant scorpion is black all over and is thirty centimeters long.
My scalp felt numb when I saw it.
One was killed, and there was a large area behind it, densely packed and countless.
I didn't think well, maybe it was the poisonous blood released and the smell of blood that attracted these black scorpions.
"It's them... I encountered their poisonous hands. They like to eat carrion the most, and they won't eat me for a long time. They just wait for me to die and the body will rot. Don't abandon me, Doctor Dong."
Shen Lian's pupils suddenly opened.
He doesn't quite believe in the good side of human nature. So he is worried that I will leave him here at this critical moment.
"Daozhang Shen, since you are willing to change your ways, why would I leave you here?"
I smiled and said, pulling out the seedling knife, "Sister Chunya, save your arrows. Let's find a high place first."
The big scorpions kept coming, and it was impossible to kill them all with arrows alone.
I picked Shen Lian up on my back and stepped back.
Finally, everyone huddled on a rock.
I hit a black scorpion with one knife. After cutting it in half, green liquid oozed from the scorpion's body, and there was a smell of sulfur.
"This black scorpion has erysipelas, so be careful and try to breathe as little as possible."
I yelled.
As soon as I finished speaking, I spread out some of the evil energy of the Golden Silkworm Gu.
Scorpion was not affected at all, but rushed even harder.
"They have been affected by erysipelas and insect poison for a long time, and they are not afraid of the miasma of insects at all."
Shen Lian said.
I took a can of kerosene, lit it and threw it out.
Only after the fire started burning did the besieging scorpions stop.
"They have seven horizontal stripes on their backs. They are a very domineering breed. With a pair of pincers and a tail, they have extremely strong attack power. It is best if there are natural enemies. If there are scorpion poisons, they may be able to curb their offensive."
"Otherwise, once the fire stops, they will still rush up."
Shen Lian said.
I took out the wrapped four-eyed toad and patted its back.
The toad screamed.
Then he released the two poisonous poisons, half of them were scorpion poisons.
The besieging poisonous scorpions began to retreat.
I wiped the sweat off my forehead, looked into the distance, and couldn't help but say: "This scorpion is too big and poisonous. If you are not careful, you may die here. I hope Gu Rechang is alive and well."
Sanqingshan Taoist priests are good at dealing with centipedes, but they cannot deal with scorpions.
I'm a little worried that Gu Rechang's life and death might be in the hands of these black scorpions.
"Dongsheng, look at the building on the top of the mountain, does it look like a Taoist temple?"
Chunya stood on the stone and pointed into the distance.
