Honghuang on the tip of the tongue

Rong Ze was not sure whether the person in front of him was still a person.

Let's just treat him as a human, at least he is still human, but the surface of his skin is covered with hideous and terrifying sores, and pus and blood still flow from it.

"Crack." Ye Mingzhu landed right at the feet of this "person", he lowered his head slowly, his movements froze.

In an instant, the "man" screamed and rushed towards the two of them. As he approached, the stench became stronger.

Now Rong Ze is almost certain that this smell is coming from him.

Yuan Shi still kept covering Rong Ze's ears, and put him in his arms to avoid the attack.

The "man" jumped into the air and stared at them angrily—if the holes in his face with black blood were eyes.

"Long Cheng." Yuan Shi said coldly.

Rong Ze was stunned: This is Lord Changcheng?The legendary long vehicle born with the spirit of nine virtues, rich and handsome?This is inevitable...

Changcheng was also stunned for a while, then suddenly realized after a while, stretched out two skinny arms to cover his face, and said in a panic: "You are mistaken, I am not Changcheng!"

Rong Ze: "..."

Seeing that Chang Cheng still wanted to hide, Yuan Shi sneered and said, "Even if you can hide from the deity, you can't hide from Chaos."

Rong Ze was startled and said, "So Mr. Changcheng became what he is now because he was infected with the aura of chaos?"

Chang Cheng also stopped, slowly lowered the arm that was blocking his eyes, fixed his eyes on him, and said hoarsely, "Is my injury caused by chaos?"

It turned out that even Chang Cheng himself didn't know why he became what he is now.

"When did it start?" Yuan Shi asked.

This time Chang Cheng was finally willing to cooperate, but he seemed to be very afraid of light, he was far away from the night pearl, hiding in a corner, it seemed that only darkness could bring him a sense of security.

His lips moved slightly.

Rong Ze was taken aback: What Chang Cheng said was exactly the period after Hongjun's first sermon.

In other words, it was not only Meng Huai who was infected by chaos at the same time, but Chang Cheng as well.So it is very likely that they were infected with chaos when they were traveling together!

He suddenly had a feeling of "the willows are dark and the flowers are bright in another village", and he couldn't restrain his excitement and asked: "Mr. Changcheng, do you still remember Meng Huai?"

For Changcheng, "Menghuai" is really a very old name.Since he suffered from the "skin disease", except for Tongtian, he cut off contact with all his acquaintances, for fear that they would see his appearance. For him who attaches great importance to his appearance, it is comparable to a public death sentence.

"Meng Huai-jun, he should have cultivated into a great power later on, right?" Chang Cheng said bitterly.

He thought, if he hadn't been troubled by his illness, maybe he could be like Yuanshi, Tongtian, and his classmates who learned Taoism together in Zixiao Palace, and at least he could become a powerful deterrent without seeking holiness.

But now, he can only live like a gray mouse in this dark and damp underground, never seeing the light of day.

Seeing Rong Ze's strange expression, which seemed to be hidden, his heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Meng Huai also..."

Rong Ze nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "Meng Huai Jun is indeed infected by Chaos, but his situation is different from that of Chang Cheng Jun."

He briefly explained Meng Huai's matter, in order to let Chang Cheng understand the seriousness of the matter, so as to cooperate with their investigation.

Chang Cheng originally thought that he was the worst person in the world, but he didn't expect that Meng Huai's experience would also be unrelenting. He was forced to separate from his wife and daughter, and spent so many years in a daze.

In contrast, although he couldn't see people because of his festering body, at least his mind was still clear.

"Doesn't it mean that this chaos has only emerged in recent years?" Although Changcheng lives deep underground, he has always learned about the outside world through the housekeeper, knowing that the whole prehistoric world is experiencing the disaster of beast tide.

"This is the crux of the problem." Rong Ze said solemnly, "At first we thought that there were nine seal points in Honghuang, and the energy of chaos leaked from these nine seal points. It was only later that we found out that there were ten seal points. It is suspected that this tenth seal point was destroyed many years ago."

If the berserk beast was infected by chaos, then where did the original chaos come from?

This question has always troubled Rong Ze.

After the existence of the tenth sealing point was confirmed, he had a vague idea:

Perhaps, it was the first leak of the seal point that formed the first batch of berserk beasts, and the berserk beasts attacked the seal point in turn, making the disaster of the beast tide intensify and the world in chaos.

Long Cheng is worthy of being a god born from the spirit of nine virtues. Although his personality has become a little distorted due to years of suffering from illness, his mind is still very flexible, and he quickly understood Rong Ze's meaning:

"You mean, Benjun and Fellow Daoist Meng Huai accidentally ran into the tenth seal point on the way and were infected by chaos, so they became what they are now?"

Rong Ze nodded, and said: "We have already asked Mr. Meng Huai, but unfortunately he really can't remember the specific route. He only remembers that he left Zixiao Palace with you, Mr. Changcheng."

"That's why you came to me." After the initial shock, Chang Cheng calmed down and sorted out the ins and outs.

"Mr. Changcheng, do you still remember what happened back then?" Rong Ze looked at him expectantly.

Chang Cheng thought about it carefully for a while, and said, "I met fellow Daoist Meng Huai outside Zixiao Palace. He seemed to be asking the teacher for advice, so he stayed a little later. This gentleman is because of...cough, because of my relationship with him. A female Taoist friend chatted a few more words about the style of clothes, and it was a step too late."

Rong Ze: "..."

Good guy, as expected of you.

"After we left Zixiao Palace, we didn't encounter anything special along the way, but we encountered someone fighting in the middle of the journey. We didn't want to get involved, so we walked away."

In ancient times, the wilderness was far less peaceful than it is now, and it was very common to encounter someone fighting on the way, which is why very few of those great powers survived to this day—all of them were done by themselves.

"Later, Fellow Daoist Meng Huai wanted to go back to Qingyao Mountain to find his family, and I wanted to go back to Winmu Mountain, so we separated. After returning to Winmu Mountain, at first I only felt that my skin was a little red and itchy, so I went with it. I took some medicine, but it didn't improve, and the symptoms became more and more serious, who would have thought that later..." Chang Cheng couldn't help shivering.

"Since then, I have been afraid of seeing anything that can reflect people. I wrote to ask fellow Taoist Tongtian to help transfer all the rivers above the ground to the ground, smashed the Jade Palace that I am most proud of, and hid in the Underground... I am really sick of this festering skin!"

Recalling those tragic and terrifying experiences, Chang Cheng's emotions became agitated.

It was only then that Rong Ze realized that the reason why Yunmu Mountain became what it is today is not because of strange fishes or evil dragons, but because of Chang Cheng's skin disease.

Changcheng is a person who values ​​face, he didn't mention the "illness" to anyone, for fear that others would look at him strangely.So for a long time, he never knew that he was not suffering from a "skin disease", but was infected by the air of chaos.

Changcheng heard that Meng Huai's "disease" had improved, and he trembled violently. His eyes were fixed on Rong Ze, and his voice was dry: "Is this skin of this gentleman still saved?"

In order to cure the "disease", he tried everything, but to no avail.

"It's very possible." Rong Ze didn't dare to speak too much, and said carefully, "Mr. Changcheng, don't worry too much. Your situation is much better than that of Mr. Meng Huai. He can regain consciousness, so can you. .”

"Okay, okay, okay." Chang Cheng said "good" several times in a row, and said sincerely, "As long as I can cure my illness, I can suffer any hardship!"

***

It is recorded in "Shan Hai Jing" that He Luoyu has one head and ten bodies, and the food is already carbuncle.

The so-called "carbuncle" refers to a skin disease, infection and suppuration, and severe cases may even cause sepsis and death.

The sores on the surface of Changcheng's skin are similar to the symptoms of "carbuncle". The wound is affected by chaos, it is difficult to heal, and instead rots more and more.If you want to treat this disease, you need to clear the air of chaos.

Fortunately, compared with Meng Huai, Chang Cheng was less affected by Chaos, and the treatment was not so strenuous.

However, although the chaotic energy remaining in his body has been removed, considering that his body has been affected by chaos for a long time, it is difficult to heal his wounds in a short time, and taking too much medicine will hurt his body. Salvage Heluo fish that can cure "carbuncle".

He Luoyu has a head and ten bodies. It looks like the octopus that later generations say, and its taste is also similar. The difference is that they live in fresh water and feed on aquatic plants.

Rong Zeton changed his tricks to make all kinds of dishes with He Luo fish. He tried all kinds of fried onion, garlic, boiled, and spicy. Today he is going to make "He Luo Fish" based on octopus balls. Little Maruko".

Wash the He Luo fish, blanch it in boiling water, pick it up and chop it up for later use.

Brush the electric baking pan with oil, heat it and pour in the batter, wait for a while, the batter is slightly set, add the minced holo fish and vegetables.

Wait for the batter to gradually brown, turn over, and pour in the remaining batter again.

Continue to repeat the flipping process until both sides of the balls are golden.

The golden round balls are tightly clustered together, sprinkled with chopped seaweed, squeezed with teriyaki sauce and salad dressing, exuding a tempting aroma.

The so-called color, fragrance and taste are nothing more than that.

Chang Cheng was already prepared to eat "bitterness", but Rong Ze left fried He Luo fish for a meal and dried He Luo fish for a right meal, which made him stunned for a while.

At first he didn't know it was for himself, and he was still looking around: "Where's my medicine?"

In the past, in order to treat his skin, he searched for doctors everywhere and tried many prescriptions, but none of them worked.

He thought that Rong Ze would also prescribe that bitter medicine for him.

Rong Ze smiled and pointed at He Luoyu: "This is your medicine."

Long multiplication: "!"

So there are such good things in the world? !

After tasting the dishes for the first time, Chang Cheng has completely surrendered to Rong Ze's superb cooking skills.

He was wearing a black veil, covering his whole body tightly, sitting at the small dining table with Feiyi Wukong, looking forward to it.

The small meatballs are fried just right, the outer skin is crispy and the inner part is soft and tender, the Heluo fish is delicious and elastic, and the sauce is salty and slightly sweet.

It is very enjoyable to eat one bite at a time.

Feiyi and Wukong looked at it with a little jealousy, but they knew that it was the "ho Luoyu small balls specially made for medical treatment" by Rong Ze specially made for Changcheng, so they had to swallow their saliva while watching Changcheng take a big bite of the delicious food.

Wukong has always been nervous, and couldn't help but sigh: "If you are sick and have delicious food every day, then I want to be sick every day."

Long ride: "..."

He never expected that he would be envied one day after he already looked like this.

Fei Yi made a summary of his statement: "Ah Ze said, this is called 'what you can't get is always a commotion'."

***

Under Rong Ze's careful feeding, Chang Cheng became fatter day by day... No, it got better day by day.

However, everyone still has no clue about the whereabouts of the tenth sealing point.

They carefully studied the route traveled by the long-distance vehicle, and checked the past all the way, but found nothing special, and the search work fell into a bottleneck again.

"Could it be that our thinking is wrong?" Rong Ze held his chin, his face serious, "We have been focusing on the path of Chang Chengjun and Meng Huaijun after they left Zixiao Palace, but what if they are in Have you encountered Chaos before this?"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience fell silent.

"Aze..." Fei Yi pointed at the back of Rong Ze nonchalantly.

When Rong Ze turned his head, he unexpectedly bumped into Yuan Shi's eyes.

He was startled: "Tianzun..."

Yuanshi's eyes contained extremely complex emotions, disappointment, anger, sadness... all kinds of emotions were mixed together, and finally attributed to indifference.

Rong Ze was stunned, he had never seen such a bone-chilling coldness in Yuan Shi's eyes, it was even more trembling than the blizzard he encountered at the northern pole that year.

Yuan Shi didn't say anything, just took a deep look at him, and walked away.

"Ah Ze, you shouldn't have said that." Fei Yi whispered to Rong Ze, "You know how much Master respects Hongjun Daozu."

Although Rong Ze didn't say it clearly, what he said clearly implied that there was something wrong with Zixiao Palace——

As we all know, Chang Cheng and Meng Huai had been staying in Zixiao Palace before this.

Rong Ze's lips moved, but he didn't make a sound.

He thought his statement was reasonable, and it was the most likely result after excluding all impossible answers.

But obviously, Yuan Shi did not agree with his guess.

Wukong couldn't read the atmosphere, and he didn't quite understand what happened just now, why Yuan Shi left suddenly, and Rong Ze's expression was so wrong.

Just as he was about to ask, Fei Yi quickly covered his mouth and dragged him away. "Wooooow." What are you doing?

Fei Yi raised his index finger: "Shh, don't ask."

To ask is to be a man with your tail between your legs.

In the next few days, the skies above Mount Winu seemed to be shrouded in low pressure, and no one dared to make any noise. Even Wukong was told by Feiyi to clamp his tail tightly and not disturb Yuanshi and Rongze if he had nothing to do.

Probably the only person who was not affected by this weird atmosphere was Chang Cheng, who was overwhelmed by the ecstasy of his skin healing, and had only one thought in his mind: he must repay his great benefactor well.

Changcheng counted his inventory and selected a lot of treasured jade as a thank you gift.

"Take it easy, don't smash this gentleman's treasure!"

Rong Ze was studying the menu, when he heard the sound, he saw a strange man commanding the fat butler, and walking towards him with difficulty holding a stack of high gift boxes.

He was startled, and asked inexplicably, "What are you doing?"

"Benefactor!" The man stepped forward excitedly, grabbed his hand, and said in an eloquent voice, "His Royal Highness, you have the grace to reinvent me!"

"You are... Lord Changcheng?" Rong Ze finally recognized the person's identity from the voice.

Changcheng nodded vigorously: "It's exactly me!"

I have to admit that Mr. Chang Cheng's original appearance is really good, with long eyebrows, high nose and big eyes, handsome and handsome, with a natural and unrestrained spirit. He does have narcissism... Cough, the capital of self-confidence.

Rong Ze congratulated: "Congratulations, Daoist Lord."

That's it... Can you let go of your hand?

Chang Cheng was in a state of excitement, and he didn't notice that he was still holding Rong Ze's hand tightly.

Rong Ze was in embarrassment when he suddenly caught a purple figure flashing past out of the corner of his eyes, and was slightly taken aback.

The author has something to say: Chang Chengjun, danger.

Send a red envelope to celebrate July [-]!

"Shan Hai Jing Bei Shan Jing": "The mountain of Qiao Ming, Qiao water flows out, and the west flows into the river. There are many fish in it, one head and ten bodies, its sound is like a barking dog, and the food is already carbuncle."
