I reached out and held the man's hand. His palm was broad and his fingers were long, somewhat like a piano hand, which didn't match his appearance.

For some reason, I have a good impression of this Daoist who has a sincere smile on his face.

He said, "Lu Yan, you definitely don't know me, but I do recognize you. I've always heard the microtoxicant talking about you, saying that you were in the River City, and the last time we went there, he had planned to look for you to play. It was a pity that I couldn't find your contact information, and that's why I couldn't find you."

microtoxicant?

Is that my cousin Lu Zuo's nickname?

He led me to a stone table and sat down. He looked at me and said, Listen to Duo Duo.

I nodded and said yes, I was pretty unlucky.

His eyes immediately lit up as he stared at me. He chuckled and said, "I heard that you're quite a legend. Tell me about it. Maybe I can help you?"

Facing Duo Duo, I didn't dare to talk too much, but this Taoist was around thirty years old and a bit older than me, so I didn't have any burdens in my heart. I told him everything from the bus trip to the hotel, to the dungeon experience and the appearance of the Tail girl, and after listening to my narration, the Taoist asked with a gossipy expression, "Aiya, no, I'm asking you a very serious question."

I was surprised. Say, you say.

The Daoist anxiously replied, "I've stayed in the East Branch for a long time. I don't think it's this expensive. Why is it that I can afford one thousand and two hundred yuan a night now?"

ME: "…"

Brother, please don't discuss this with me in all seriousness, okay?

I was cheated on the bus because I hadn't done anything before and I didn't understand anything. You asking me that makes me seem so professional.

Initially, I didn't want to answer his question, but as a man, due to my pride, I still couldn't bring myself to do so. Thinking about my previous interactions with my good friend A Long, I pretended to be an old driver and chatted with him about Central TV's exposed state.

When the Daoist heard this, he could not help but slap his thigh and say, "Aiya, how could this be? When I was a government official, it was really fun. How did it turn out like this? It's such a pity!"

However, in order to cater to this Taoist, I had no choice but to go against my intentions, and I too, bitterly regretted my decision.

The Daoist man pulled me by the arm and said, "Not bad, Lu Yan. You're not bad, we left the south for a long time, we don't even know what's the situation here now. When we get back, you can bring me and the microtoxicant to have fun."

My forehead was covered in sweat. Why does it feel like this Daoist thinks of me as someone from the same sect?

Actually, I really don't know anything!

However, this person is my cousin's friend, and seeing that we are so close, I didn't dare to offend him. I thought that maybe he would say good words for me later, so I went along with what he said, since that won't do, I will look for A Long to help me receive him.

After chatting for a while, he finally got to the main point. Ask me and you're right.

When I heard this, my tears immediately started streaming down my face. "Big brother, you've finally found the conscience?"

It's not easy!

My cousin's friends all have great abilities. I really want them to reach out and let him touch my wrist.

He put his hand on my pulse and closed his eyes.

After a long while, his face started to turn serious. He looked at me and said, "Lu Yan, your question is a little complicated."

I bitterly smiled. That was right, the girl had said that I was dead for sure and that she wanted me to write her will. After she found out who I was, she called me over to look for my cousin Lu Zuo.

The little demon was right. Do you know why she said that?

I nodded and said I knew, and that Dodo told me that my heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys were all broken and that there was no place for me to be safe, and that the only reason I was able to survive was because the worm was in my body, or else I would have died long ago.

The Daoist sighed. That's right. That bug was not very interesting, so it couldn't hatch. If you died, it wouldn't be complete. That's why it allowed you to live.

He took a porcelain bottle the size of a snuffbox out of his robe, poured a little golden powder on the table, stirred it with his middle finger, made me look at it, and then began to draw on the table.

He was drawing a rune, the kind we see in movies, a simple and fluent one, and finished with a single stroke.

After finishing his talisman, he lightly pressed his left hand, and the golden powder slowly flew up into the air, continuously rotating and then pouncing towards me. My eyes were completely gold, and I jumped out of fear as I subconsciously closed my eyes, but at that moment, the Daoist sternly said into my ear, "Open your eyes."

Instinctively, I opened my eyes and saw, in the air between him and me, an image of my insides outlined in golden powder.

In this image, from the chest cavity to the abdomen, it was a complete mess. There were only half to one-third of the organs remaining, and the rest were all broken. At the heart area, there was an octopus-like worm.

The worm was the size of a fist, and its claws were attached to its heart. As its heart beat, it gave off an incomparably malevolent feeling.

I looked at the Daoist, then at the image, and my face turned deathly pale. I said, "Is this what's going on inside my body?"

The Daoist nodded. That's right. You are not a cultivator, so you have no way of inspecting yourself, so I'll let you have a look.

What a mystical charm.

The fact that a godly stick with a mouth full of wind and moon was able to create such a magical scene was truly impressive. However, this was not enough to attract my attention because I was already frightened by the terrifying situation in my body.

It turns out that the current me can no longer be called a human.

I'm just a corpse.

When the Daoist saw my pale face, he knew that I was scared. He waved his hand towards me, and the golden scene immediately disappeared, while he put his arm around my shoulder and comforted me, saying that I shouldn't worry too much, since people are born with death, it's only a matter of a few decades. As a person who has been through many things, I can only tell you that it's actually the same whether they die early or late.

I cried. Say, big brother, is there anyone that can comfort others like you?

Let me put it another way that you like it. If you want to say that there is someone in this world who can save you and let you live, I think your cousin Lu Zuo is the only one. He is the descendant of the Gu Miao in Clear Water River Stream, the person who understands the poison the best in this era. Perhaps he is the only one who can allow you to survive with your identity as a human.

I heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. To be honest, I haven't lived long enough. It's really not that free."

The Daoist laughed and said it was fine. In fact, if you want to live, I have a way, and a friend of mine has a way too. But that's not the right way, no matter what, since we're friends, we can't let you die, right?

Although this person's words were vague, it was as if I had just eaten a pill of reassurance. I finally relaxed and looked around, asking why my cousin hadn't come back yet.

The Daoist stretched his body and said, "He is still on the plane. I came back through the papyrus s, day and night. As for him, because he was severely injured before, his cultivation has not fully recovered yet." But he would probably be back in the evening.

I cautiously asked. Was that thing we lost really a phoenix egg?

The Daoist's expression softened a bit and he let out a long sigh. Who knows? We don't know what kind of thing will hatch from that egg, but it contains a friend that's very important to us, so we're a bit nervous.

Say, are you Master Chou Pimao?

The Daoist was startled and could not help but laugh. Saying that was not right, Chou Pimao was Duo Duo's nickname, and most of the time we would call him adult tiger-hide cat.

Oh, so it was a cat?

The Daoist shook his head. No, it's not a cat. It's a … In short, he is a peerless genius. Without it, your cousin and I, as well as our friends and even the entire world, would be gone.

His words were incomprehensible, but I believed them.

Because his mood had become somewhat agitated.

Something that could excite this Taoist, I have reason to believe is true.

I asked him again, Who stole the egg after all?

The Taoist was silent for a long time, he did not say anything, but patted me on the shoulder and said that you stay here, do not wander around, when we get back, I will let microtoxicant take a look at you, but no matter what, I promise you, I will let you live, don't worry.

When he had finished, he called out to the others, and I stayed under the tree, my heart warm.

After a while, Er Chun came to find me and brought me to where my cousin lived. It was a garden built of bamboo, very light and elegant, and it was very comfortable.

I've been here all day, and almost no one's paying me any attention, or even asking me to eat, and I'm not really that hungry, so I just stand there and wait.

Unknowingly, the sky had turned dark and I was woken up by a burst of noise. When I opened my eyes, I saw the Tail girl who saved me previously arguing with a man.

The argument was so fierce that I squinted and finally recognized the man.

He is my cousin Lu Zuo.
