Chapter 4 Tianwai Clinic Tianda Pit

Ning Tao walked past the archway on Huayuan Street, and strode towards the deserted street.

The streets paved with bluestone slabs are full of marks left by people, mules and horses, and each piece exudes a heavy atmosphere of history. Tiandi Clinic is at the end of Huayuan Street, a low blue-tiled building with moss and creepers on the stone walls, so green that it can't melt.

It has no facade, just a wooden door on the stone wall, the paint on the door panel is almost peeling off. If it weren't for the plaque of "Tianwai Clinic" hanging on the lintel, Ning Tao might have thought that he had come to the door of a poor mountain dweller.

What kind of clinic is this?

Ning Tao glanced back at the street he walked through when he came here. It was empty, just like the facade of the clinic and this port.

"Forget it, it's already here, let's go in and have a look." Ning Tao comforted himself in this way, he took out the key left by Chen Pingdao, inserted it into the lock and opened the door.

Behind the door is a room filled with green smoke, and the scenery in the room is hazy. A seven-star lamp was vaguely burning quietly, but the light was not enough to disperse the green smoke and completely illuminate Ning Tao's vision.

Nothing related to Chen Pingdao is normal, and the clinic in front of him is obviously no exception.

Ning Tao took a deep breath and walked in.

After he entered, the door of the clinic slowly closed, but he was completely unconscious.

This is a very old room, about 30 to 40 square meters, without windows. There are tables and chairs, bookshelves and various utensils in the room, such as bronze tripods and ceramic jars, large and small, arranged in a disorderly manner.

The source of the green smoke in the room is a huge bronze square tripod, which is half the height of a person. There is a human face on the side facing the door, with closed eyes, facial features but no expression, weird but natural.

Ning Tao carefully moved to the side of the bronze tripod and took a look inside. The green smoke in the tripod was so thick that he couldn't see anything smoking at all.

Ning Tao temporarily gave up studying the bronze tripod, and he took a few steps forward. He saw a door on the wall on the left, and a wooden sign was hung on the lintel, engraved with "Spell Library". He then shifted his gaze to the wall on the right, through the lingering green smoke, he could vaguely see a door on the right wall, and there were some words on the wall, but it was hard to see clearly due to the green smoke.

Ning Tao moved a few steps sideways, waved his hand to disperse the green smoke covering his eyes, and then froze.

On the lintel of the door on the right wall hangs a sign engraved with "Elixir Equipment Library". Shocking words are written on the wall whether it is red paint or blood.

I can not stand it any more!

It drives me crazy!

I want freedom! Give me liberty or give me death!

I can't go on like this anymore!

I must think of a way, ah ah ah!

Chen Pingdao, Chen Pingdao, you must find an idiot to take your place!

Seeing this sentence, a sentence that he vaguely heard last night when he was about to pass out suddenly appeared in Ning Tao's mind-I am finally freed! Heaven has eyes, hahaha!

For some reason, Ning Tao's heart skipped a beat, "The idiot on the wall...couldn't be me?"

He hurriedly took out Chen Pingdao's transfer contract and opened it. The contents of the contract were verbatim, and his signature was clearly visible.

There is no trap!

But at this moment, the face on the bronze cauldron suddenly opened its eyes, and the green smoke in the room returned to the cauldron like an ebb tide, and disappeared completely in a blink of an eye.

The contract in his hand trembled, it changed!

The white paper turned old and yellowed.

Ning Tao's eyes fell on the contract, and he was horrified to see the previous handwriting slowly disappear, and the new content appeared.

Tianwai Clinic Lease Agreement: Congratulations on becoming the owner of Tianwai Clinic. The monthly rent of this clinic is a total of 200 points of good deeds and sins. This contract has bound the body and soul until death.

In the lower right corner of the lease is his own signature.

Ning Tao suddenly understood, Chen Pingdao tricked him!

"If I can't pay the rent, I will draw my life to repay the debt. I will pay a little in a year. If I don't open the business in January, how much life will I have for you to draw? Are you kidding me? Take your time, I won't play!" Ning Tao Yue The more you think about it, the more you grab the contract and tear it up!

Crash!

The soul contract split into two, fluttering and falling to the ground.

But at that moment, Ning Tao's body seemed to be slashed severely, split in two, and all the blood in his body seemed to be splashed on the ground. A feeling more painful than death pervaded every nerve, and he couldn't hold on for a second, and fell straight to the ground.

The soul contract that was torn in two fused in the air, and the two became one, and landed squarely in Ning Tao's open right hand, but there was not even a crack.

Painful feelings disappeared, came and went as quickly as they came, and everything returned to normal.

Ning Tao got up from the ground. The weird incident that happened just now has already explained a problem. He has only one way to go now, and that is to let the clinic open to earn rent.

What is the merit of kind thoughts?

What are evil thoughts and sins?

Ning Tao pondered this question in his heart, and his eyes were also searching for the answer. Soon, he saw a small white porcelain vase on the desk with a piece of paper under it.

Ning Tao walked over.

There was a handwritten "Elementary Prescription Pill" label on the small porcelain bottle. He hadn't seen what pill was in the small porcelain bottle, but he saw the message on the paper.

That was Chen Pingdao's message: I'm sorry little brother, I have no other choice. I am a cultivator, my Taoist name is Tengu Taoist. I've been stuck in this clinic for over two thousand years.

You, like me, have the roots of good and evil, in absolute balance,

There is no need to doubt, I believe you have already seen the innate field of your body, others are colorful, but you are one black and one white.

I don't know the specific origin of this clinic. Although it is called a clinic, the number of years it has existed is no longer known. I was tricked into becoming the owner of the clinic. It will charge the value of good and evil as rent every month, and if it is overdue, it will be offset by life. I don't always earn enough rent, so that my life is shortened again and again. If it weren't for your appearance, I don't think I would live long.

The so-called value of good and evil refers to the merits and virtues of good thoughts and the sins of evil thoughts.

The merits of good thoughts and virtues refer to the merits and virtues obtained by people who have good thoughts and do good deeds, while the sins of evil thoughts refer to the sins produced by people who have evil thoughts and do evil. What you want to earn is what people in this world get when they do good deeds, and what they get when they do evil.

The bamboo slips on the bookshelf are the clinic ledgers that can calculate the value of good and evil on people. The square tripod in the middle of the room is the tripod of good and evil. value.

So you need to complete the contract in the clinic. The key is made of Xuanling Iron, and there is nothing in the world that can destroy it. You carry it with you, and no matter where you are in the world, you only need to draw a lock with your blood on the wall or door, and you will be able to open the convenient door and return to the clinic with the key.

There are 5 primary prescription pills left in the medicine bottle, which are used in conjunction with the prescription contract. Except for incurable diseases, it can cure other diseases of ordinary people. It is my gift to you. There are formulas of primary pills and The refining method, you can refine it yourself after you have mastered the elixirs in the medical books.

There are two doors in the clinic, one is the library of scriptures and spells, and the other is the library of pills and equipment. I have never entered it, and I don't know what is inside.

In the end, don't think that the value of good and evil is easy to earn. If you are not a person who is very good and evil, the value of good and evil in your body is pitiful. Let's put it this way, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, isn't that a great merit? And what I want to tell you is that saving a life is only seven points of kindness. It's about your life, remember it.

The signature on the paper is "Never see you again, Chen Pingdao is ashamed to stay".

Shame on your sister!

After a while, Ning Tao calmed down a little. He opened the desk drawer and saw the formula and refining method of the primary prescription pill left by Chen Pingdao. He glanced at it roughly, but couldn't understand it at all. Then he pulled the cork off the small porcelain bottle, and poured out the pills in the bottle. There were indeed only five pills, with a fragrant smell, small, bronze-colored, and looked like metal particles, not some pills. .

After reading it, Ning Tao repacked the primary prescription pill into a small porcelain bottle, then put it in a drawer, and finally closed the drawer carefully. For him now, this is not a matter of a small bottle of medicine, it is life!

Afterwards, Ning Tao's gaze shifted to the bronze tripod next to the desk, and that human face was still looking at him with its eyes open.

It is the cauldron of good and evil.

Ning Tao remembered the green smoke when he first came in. He cautiously came to the side of the tripod of good and evil, and poked his head to see the inside of the tripod.

There is nothing in the Cauldron of Good and Evil, only some strange lines, just like the innumerable rivers on the earth, criss-crossing and gathering at the bottom.

Ning Tao's eyes moved to the bookshelf again. There were no books on the bookshelf, only a bamboo slip. If nothing else, it should be the account book of the intermediate clinic.

Ning Tao came to the bookshelf and picked up the bamboo slip. It was heavy in his hand, and there was a bone-chilling cold feeling. It was obviously not made of ordinary bamboo.

He opened the bamboo slips, and the content immediately appeared on the bamboo slips: Tiandi Clinic has zero points of merit for good thoughts, zero points of evil thoughts and sins, and the time limit for the next rent payment is 29 days and 6 hours.

Six o'clock on the 29th, this is counting him!

Chen Pingdao is a cultivator who has a long lifespan and was drawn into madness. Ning Tao is in a state of distress when he wants to escape, because he is an ordinary human being with a lifespan of only a few decades, and one month's rent can draw him into the crematorium!

Ning Tao put the clinic's bamboo slips back on the bookshelf, with firm eyes, "Since I can't get rid of it, then I will start my new life here! Chen Pingdao, if you can't manage it, I can!"
