Chapter 29: Triple Yin Conquers Water

  Back in the hospital ward, I first went to pour a glass of water, while Jin Gang Pao couldn't wait to tear open the red envelopes given by Yang Zong and Wang Lao. "Old Yu, guess how much money Yang Zong gave us."

  "Another 100,000?" I took a sip of water.

  "Guess again" Jin Gang pao Mei's mouth can't be closed.

  "How much?" I snatched the ticket from the conductor's hand.

  I counted and there were actually as many as ten, each with a maximum denomination of 50,000. "My god, so much!"

  "What? This old miser!" Jin Gang tore open Wang Lao's red envelope, and to his surprise, there was not a single cent inside, only a business card.

  I took a look and found "Director of Provincial Finance Department Wang Zhongri" with office phone number and mobile phone number below.

  "Hehe, old cow, this business card is worth much more than 500,000. I waved the business card in my hand "When someone reaches that level, money is no longer useful, giving you a business card means acknowledging a personal favor, and the weight of this favor is enormous."

  This guy stared at me with his big, dull eyes, seemingly not understanding what I meant.

  "Never mind, I'm too lazy to explain, sleep." Three days later, I was back to normal and the troops happened to send someone to see me, so I thought I'd take the two old 212 jeeps back to the troops. When I went to settle my hospital bill, something unexpected happened again - not only did the hospital not ask us for a single penny in medical expenses, but the director even brought a large group of doctors and nurses to see me off, leaving me bewildered.

  It wasn't until afterwards that I found out, on the second day of my hospitalization, the Ministry of Finance allocated 200 million yuan to the Health Department, specifically for research funding for this hospital, this department and even this ward!

  When others hold high positions, they handle matters in a "low-key" manner!

  Jin Gang Pao then carried his bedding and hurriedly followed as his security team leader.

  Back to the troops, everyone warmly welcomed me, who was robbed and beaten into a hospital for a month, making me feel ashamed. In a hurry, I lied that the robber was a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple, and then escaped back to my dormitory. On the bed, a set of officer uniforms was neatly laid out. I tried it on, not bad, quite fitting. But what I liked most was the red-edged officer's hat. "Damn, no more wearing green hats!"

  After settling down, I found an excuse to go up the mountain to see Bai Lang. Bai Lang is now able to survive on its own, so during my hospital stay, I didn't worry about it too much. When I arrived at the cave where Bai Lang lived, it was playing with a mouse as usual. Although Bai Lang is a dog, it always likes to do cat-like things. Seeing me come in, it excitedly rushed over to me. Its strength was extraordinary. My body hadn't fully recovered yet, and I was immediately knocked to the ground. Its big, wet tongue licked my face.

  I hastily stopped "Woof woof woof, I'm grass, first kiss is gone..."

  After teasing the white wolf for a while, I led it out of the cave and pointed to the entrance on both sides, giving it an order: "Defend, attack!"

  "Guard, attack" is the command for military dogs to take a defensive position. Upon hearing the command, White Wolf immediately went into state, squatting down and retracting its tongue, perking up its ears alertly and vigilantly observing its surroundings. Now if anything enters its guarded range, I'm sure White Wolf will go forward without hesitation to tear apart the target.

  I walked back to the cave, took out the medicinal pill that was emitting a strong herbal scent from my sleeve. If I remembered correctly, this pill should be the Ziyang Chengyuan Dan, personally refined by San Sheng Zhen Ren. On the day when Cheng Feng Dao Ren left the mountain, San Sheng Zhen Ren had already calculated that his beloved disciple would have a calamity, so he gave him three protective golden pills for emergency use. Cheng Feng Dao Ren used one himself, and another to save the giant snake. The last one was not used because after Cheng Feng Dao Ren failed to reverse the yin and yang with the "Yū Qì Nì Tiān Jué" technique to revive Zhao Pei, he felt that she had already passed away and lost interest in life, so despite being struck by lightning and heavenly punishment, he did not take it and left it behind. As its name suggests, Ziyang Chengyuan Dan is a kind of pill that condenses the true yuan spiritual energy, which can massively and permanently replenish the body's true yuan, and is a genuine and valuable immortal family golden pill.

  I picked up the elixir and, without thinking much, pinched open the outer layer that wrapped the elixir to preserve its potency, revealing a golden-purple Ziyang Condensed Elixir. I lightly sniffed it, and indeed, it was fragrant and enticing. "It should still be effective!" I thought to myself as I swallowed it in one gulp.

  In an instant, I only felt the true yuan was full and the inner breath was abundant. The original fatigue and weakness disappeared immediately, and there were no rumored side effects of taking Dan medicine, such as fever and jumping around. Thinking about it, it makes sense that these few pills were originally given by San Sheng Zhen Ren to his precious disciple to save his life. If he had to spend a while digesting and absorbing after eating, I estimate he would have been killed by the opponent early on.

  "What a great thing, it would be even better if there were a few more." I stretched out my hand and looked at the shallow blue aura on my fingertips, feeling a little regretful. Later, I and Jingang Cannon sneaked into the underground mausoleum in Kunlun Mountain where Yang Yuanying's relics were worshipped, and saw the murals recording many immortal gods' miracles, only to know that San Sheng Zhenren had refined only seven pills of this kind in his lifetime.

  I waited for a while longer, feeling that there were no side effects, and then stood up. As I walked out of the cave, I felt the cool mountain breeze blowing against me, and my body was filled with energy. On an impulse, I stretched out my five fingers to gather and condense my breath, and the blue air actually reached as far as five meters away. I patted the white wolf's head in appreciation of its loyalty, then pulled out a baseball from my pocket - the toy that White Wolf had loved since it was little. I really didn't want to see it play with mice again. I shouted "Let's go!" and watched as it excitedly ran off with the baseball in its mouth. I turned around, grasped the Wind Movement Technique, and sprinted towards the ancient tomb on East Mountain. With enough true yuan spiritual energy, I finally understood why the Wind Movement Technique was called the Wind Movement Technique today. My previous forced attempts at using it, although I could use my true energy to speed up my running, made me feel like a startled cow, with heavy footsteps and loud thuds as I hit the ground!

  Now I'm light on my feet, taking three steps at a time, using the air to propel myself forward with ease and finesse. Although I still can't reach the level of Wind Chaser who can float in mid-air, it's not a big deal if I just hover above the grass for now. "Hahaha..." I throw back my head and laugh loudly, releasing my triumphant emotions.

  "Boom!" "Ahh...my grass..."

  "It seems I still need to practice more." I rubbed my sore forehead and got up, looking at the big pine tree that I had crashed into, its needles scattered all over. I didn't dare run so fast again.

  Despite that, half an hour later I still arrived at the entrance of the cave where the tomb was located. After a brief hesitation, I walked in. Taking a glance around, something didn't feel right, why is the aura so weak?! Hurriedly, I controlled my breath and directly rushed into the tomb. The tomb was still as dark as before, but for me now, there's no difference between day and night when it comes to seeing things. I bowed slightly towards the stone coffin as a form of respect, then quickly walked past the withered giant snake in the northeast corner of the tomb.

  The giant snake was still coiled there, its eyes tightly closed. I walked up and reached out to touch its head "San Er, it's me, I'm here."

  Hearing my voice, the giant snake finally opened its eyes, although it still couldn't see anything.

  The true name of this giant snake should be called San Yin Bi Shui, belonging to the Jiao class! When Ling Feng Daoist, the national teacher of Liang State, learned about the relationship between Xu Fei and Cheng Feng Daoist, he used the technique of Yu Qi Wu Di to lay down a Yin Tu Xuan Chun formation in Xu Fei's bedroom three feet underground, causing Xu Fei's temperament to change greatly. She quickly became promiscuous with many men. When Cheng Feng Daoist discovered this, he was heartbroken and risked his life to travel to Kunlun to steal the Jiuyang Song and move it to Xu Fei's palace in Baijingfang. With the help of the Jiuyang Song, he finally broke through Ling Feng Daoist's Yin Tu Xuan Chun formation, but still suffered from backlash and was bedridden for over half a year.

  And this three-yin water-avoiding spell was exactly what Fengfeng Daoist obtained under the Nine Yang Pine Tree on his way, rescued from the claws of a thousand-year-old divine crane. The two divine crane feathers that were accidentally picked up were made by Fengfeng Daoist into the Nine Yang Dust Sweeping Silk!

  After saving the dying San Yin Bi Shui, Cheng Feng Dao Ren used a purple Yang Condensed Yuan Dan to save her life. San Yin Bi Shui was grateful for Cheng Feng's kindness and followed him from then on. After Cheng Feng failed in his attempt to defy heaven and rescue people, he searched for a place where yin and yang were balanced and the乾坤应位was suitable, and built a tomb for Zhao Pei and himself. Since they had no husband-and-wife relationship in life, he buried Zhao Pei at the foot of the mountain in the 坤 position after using the Soul-Sealing Spell on her, and had Chen Xue'er, Zhao Pei's maid, build a hut to guard the tomb. Cheng Feng Dao Ren then used the Sheng Shuai Array to ascend to immortality and buried himself at the top of the mountain in the 乾 position. Before his ascension, Cheng Feng did not forget San Yin Bi Shui and used the Yu Qi method to create a Wu Shui Ju Qi pool on the back mountain to aid her cultivation. "Three Children" was what Cheng Feng called San Yin Bi Shui.

  "San Er", I patted the forehead of San Yin Bi Shui again, calling out its name. Compared to when Cheng Feng Dao Ren was still alive, this San Yin Bi Shui's body shape hadn't grown much, and the original San Yin Bi Shui wasn't blind either.

  After a thousand years, I heard the long-awaited call again. San Yin Bi Shui didn't show any obvious excitement, but instead gently bumped my hand with her head and closed her eyes wearily.

  "This doesn't feel right." I looked at the sticky liquid on my hand, last time I came here I also touched its forehead, it was icy and smooth to the touch, how did it become like this today? And why does this tomb seem so stuffy today?

  At this point, I hastily took out the black spherical object about the size of a pigeon egg that San Yin had spat out last time and placed it at its mouth "Swallow it quickly!" I commanded urgently. Now I already know that this is its internal elixir, but I don't know why it's much smaller than it was a thousand years ago!

  Three yin evil spirits sniffed at the inner elixir in my hand and then sniffed at me, but surprisingly withdrew its head.

  "TMD, open your mouth!" I went up and grabbed its upper and lower jaws with my hands, clenching them tightly. I could already feel its breath getting weaker and weaker, if I didn't retrieve the inner elixir in time, there would be a risk of losing my life.

  Who knew that San Yin Bi Shui would not take my emotions, and its big mouth was still tightly closed, no matter how hard I tried to open it. Finally, in a fit of rage, I punched its horn with all my might, but unexpectedly, this punch thoroughly enraged it, and its massive tail suddenly swung towards me, sweeping me out horizontally. Because I didn't expect it to attack me, I got hit hard, and the back of my head and brain crashed into the stone wall of the tomb, causing stars to appear before my eyes. After San Yin Bi Shui swept me away, it didn't continue to circle around the corner, but instead slowly and laboriously dragged its massive body towards the center of the tomb chamber, where the stone coffin was located. After a long time, it finally completed its brief and difficult movement around the stone coffin, and stopped moving. Watching its strange movements, I suddenly realized that I already knew what it was thinking.

  As the saying goes, "old things become refined", this three-yin water python was rescued by Fengfeng Daoist and has been following him faithfully ever since. Even after Fengfeng Daoist's ascension, it did not abandon him. In order to follow its master, it abandoned the Five-Water Gathering Qi Pool that Fengfeng Daoist had set up for it and entered the underground tomb of Fengfeng Daoist, using its own three-yin energy to maintain the undecayed state of Fengfeng Daoist's remains for a thousand years. Except for occasional hunting, it almost never left its master's side. Due to long-term residence in the dark tomb, its eyes have become completely blind. I think that after going blind, its days must not be easy to pass. If it weren't starving, it wouldn't take the risk of being discovered by humans to swallow Old Hu's sheep. Such loyalty and affection are enough to make many of us humans feel ashamed.

  Unfortunately, San Yin Bi Shui never accepted me as its "master" from start to finish, although it also felt that I had more or less retained some of the aura of Fengfeng Dao people on my body. Unfortunately, I am not him after all. In the eyes of San Yin Bi Shui, only Fengfeng Dao people are its sole master.

  Looking at the already dying San Yin Bi Shui who was about to follow Cheng Feng Dao Ren into the underworld, my heart felt a pang of bitterness. I placed the San Yin inner elixir in my hand on top of the stone coffin and bowed deeply to express my respect. Then I jumped out of the ancient tomb and sealed the entrance with my internal energy.

  I used to think that after a thousand years, she was no longer herself, but I was still me. Now it seems that I am no longer myself either, only it is still itself!
