Chapter 1 The ninth class of pariahs(1/2)
Seling Mountain is located south of Huojiao City, near Buzhou Forest, with a height of more than 6,000 meters. The mountain is incredible and cloudy. There are deafening beast roars from time to time. It comes from the abyss of the canyon, like an evil dragon and a divine tiger hidden.
The first miracle doctor in Huojiao City, "Changshituo", lives in the mountains.
That's right, even though it was cold and the snow was half a foot thick, there were still a large number of mortals and martial arts masters coming to seek medical treatment.
On the side of Seling Mountain, a green wood medicine hall was built. Outside the medicine hall, a thousand-scale rock tablet was erected with eight words: "Nine-class untouchables are not allowed to enter."
There is a layer of dog blood on the word, which is dark red, meaning that the ninth-class untouchables and dogs are as lowly as those of dogs.
In the medicine hall, dozens of figures in gorgeous robes have gathered, including martial arts powerful men with profound cultivation, wealthy men with millions of dollars, and beautiful daughters of aristocratic families.
"Wow—"
The gate of the medicine hall was pushed open by an old pair of hands.
The hand was frozen and was trembling slightly.
Everyone looked over. They saw an old man with gray hair staggering, carrying a young man wearing a black cloth hat and covered in blood, walking into the medicine hall.
It is difficult to walk on the mountaineering road, the old man gasps heavily, sweat soaks his clothes, and a layer of ice is formed on his back.
"Miscellaneous Doctor, Miscellaneous Doctor...Save my grandson..."
The old man put the young man on the pear wooden chair opposite Chang Shituo. While coughing, he said anxiously and sadly: "Please save my grandson, he is seriously injured."
Shituo Chang sat opposite him, with a calm expression on his face and said, "If you seek medical treatment, you will always be able to see someone with your true face. First, take off the hat on his head."
The old man looked at the boy wearing a black cloth hat on the seat, and then at the others in the medicine hall, with a hesitant look in his eyes, as if he was worried about something.
Lin Ke, who was sitting on the pear wooden chair, was very calm and took the initiative to lift off the black cloth hat on his head, revealing a pale face as pale as paper. Some equipment on his forehead was branded with a deep "nine" mark, and the blood had already scabbed.
The character "nine" looks extremely hideous.
Lin Ke is seventeen years old this year. He should have been in his prime and energetic, but now he is gray-haired and weak and haggard. Many of the clothes on his body are soaked in blood. I don’t know if he has suffered serious injuries.
I don’t know who it was, but exclaimed: “Nine-class untouchables.”
"He has a nine-character badge on his forehead, and he is indeed a ninth-class badminton."
"It's really unlucky to meet a ninth-class untouchable here. I'll probably be unlucky in the next year." A beautiful young woman frowned and said in disgust.
Among the crowd, a middle-aged man with wide shoulders and fat body walked out and smiled and said, "Hehe, you all misunderstood! This person is known as the world's number one genius and the number one master in Huojiao City. Lin Ke. He was only seventeen years old and reached the level of a life master. He was only one step away from practicing to become a real person and gaining immortality. It's amazing, amazing."
"What? He is the famous Lin Ke?"
"Legendary: Lin Ke is handsome and elegant, with a superb cultivation level. No hero in the world can match him. How could it be...he?"
"It's Lin Ke, but he is no longer a master of fate, nor is he the number one master of Huojiao City. Three days ago, he made a huge mistake and did a bad thing that both humans and gods were angry. His cultivation has been abolished by his master, the virtuous master Yi Yi Yi Ren, and demoted to a ninth-class untouchable."
...
Listening to the harsh sounds around him, Lin Ke bit his lip tightly, his eyes blurred, and his heartache was as if he was stabbed by a needle.
People are divided into different levels.
Below seventh grade, they are mortals.
The fourth to sixth grade are the masters.
Master, practices martial arts, breathes and breathes in the essence of heaven and earth, tempers flesh and blood, and thus transforms into a body, prolongs life, and lives for a hundred years without death.
Above the third level, there is a real person.
For a real person, every word is the ultimate truth and truth, and you can achieve immortality.
The ninth grade, called "untouchables", is the lowest among people.
Even if a noble martial arts master is demoted to a ninth-class person, he will be as lowly as a dog. He has no human rights or any dignity.
Chang Shituo stared at the "nine" seal on Lin Ke's forehead and said, "I will not treat the ninth-class untouchables, this is the rule."
The gray-haired old man named Lin Zhongao stood behind Lin Ke and bowed in a pleading tone: "Doctor Chang, he is my grandson, can he make an exception?"
"Old Lin, we have some friendship. If he is not your grandson, a ninth-class untouchable like him, when he enters the gate of the medicine hall, he will be beaten out by sticks." Chang Shituo said.
Lin Zhongao took out a thick stack of silver notes from his arms and handed them to Chang Shituo. The old eyes were red and said, "Doctor Chang, this is all my savings. Please save him."
Chang Shituo did not look at the silver notes, but closed his eyes instead.
There were again sounds around him, and there were many discussions: "What a large stack of silver notes, at least 500,000 taels. What is the origin of that old man?"
"Lin Zhongao, Lin Ke's grandfather."
"Lin Zhongao is one of the three masters of the Lin family, the top big family in Huojiao City. He has practiced the "Dawu Sutra" to the ninth level of heaven, a very powerful person. However, Lin Zhongao seems to have suffered a serious injury and his vital energy is scattered."
"When he was seriously injured, he came to seek medical treatment with Lin Ke, a little beast, on his back. Mr. Lin was really miserable."
Although everyone despised Lin Ke, they respected Lin Zhongao and did not dare to offend him at all.
"Grandpa, don't ask for it anymore... I know my situation very well. Go back..."
Lin Ke shook his head gently at Lin Zhongao, supported the table with his trembling hands, and stood up.
"Not giving it to you." Chang Shituo said.
Lin Zhongao stepped forward to support Lin Ke and said unwillingly: "Why does Divine Doctor Chang discriminate against Jiushi so much? Is Jiushi a human being?"
Chang Shituo's tone was a little rude: "The ninth-class person is naturally a human being, but a untouchable. Why don't you ask your grandson, why did he become a ninth-class untouchable?"
The word "疑" is very heavy.
"If you don't have a doctor, you won't have a doctor, why bother to say it so badly? My grandson has a good character and a pure personality, and is not that unbearable."
Chang Shituo smiled: "Unclear? Isn't it him who was the one who undermined the sect leader of Xuan Realm and the traitor of the sect leader's wife?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole pharmacy became quiet.
"As far as Chang knows, three years ago, your grandson fought with the evil people in the Demon Alliance and was seriously injured, almost certainly. It was the leader of the Xuan Realm Sect who spent thirty years of Yuangong to save him."
"A person who repays kindness with grudges can no longer be called a lowly person. In fact, he is not even as good as a beast."
Lin Zhongao was very angry, but he didn't know how to defend himself.
Because, no matter how he asked, Lin Ke just kept silent about what happened to the Xuan Realm Sect.
"Kier."
Lin Zhongao stared at Lin Ke, hoping that he could defend himself, and told Chang Shituo himself that he was not such a person, and everyone misunderstood him.
Lin Ke's eyes were quiet and his lips were bitten, but he was still restraining himself.
"If you don't want the Lin family to bury you, it's better to shut your mouth." Master Yi Yi Zhenren's words were like a curse of death, echoing in Lin Ke's ears.
It was this threat that forced Lin Ke to bear everything silently and dare not tell anyone the truth.
"I... have nothing to say..." Lin Ke said.
A look of disappointment flashed in Chang Shituo's eyes, and suddenly it seemed like he had changed his mind and said, "Lin Ke, if you say something loudly in front of everyone, I have not killed the sect leader of the Xuan Realm Sect, nor have I traitor/The wife of the sect leader. I can make an exception and prolong your life."
Lin Zhongao kept winking at Lin Ke and told him to say it quickly.
However, what disappointed Lin Zhongao was that Lin Ke's mouth was tightly closed and he remained silent.
Chang Shituo said: "You have to think clearly that you only have a few months of life left and you will die soon. There is only one chance. If you miss it, you will not be able to come again in the future."
"What?"
Lin Zhongao felt as if he was hit by a bolt from the blue, and he was panicked and took three steps back in a row, saying tremblingly: "Kier was just abolished his cultivation. At least he could be an ordinary person. Why... how could he have only a few months of life left... No, don't believe it, I don't believe it."
"But this is the fact. If you don't believe it, ask yourself." Chang Shituo said.
Lin Zhongao stared at Lin Ke.
Lin Ke looked at the old man who loved him the most, with sore eyes and trying hard to make him stronger, so he did not cry. He smiled with a stiff face and said, "Grandpa, please forgive Ke'er for being unfilial. You can't continue to be with you in the future... Cough cough..."
"Doctor Chang, please, please, please, please, please, please, you must save Ke'er, I, I kneel down for you!"
Lin Zhongao couldn't accept this fact, and he burst into tears. He actually bent his legs and was about to kneel down to Master Chang. He didn't want the master's dignity!
"Grandpa, don't."
The blue veins on Lin Ke's face were highlighted, dragging his weak body, trying to stop Lin Zhongao.
At this moment, the gate of the medicine hall was thundered with a bang, and a snow-white and soft jade hand was slapped into pieces, and a large amount of snow suddenly poured in.
"Swish."
A graceful white shadow quickly flashed into the medicine hall from outside the door.
The next moment, a girl with a slender figure as thin as a crescent moon appeared beside Lin Zhongao.
That breathtakingly beautiful jade hand gently supported Lin Zhongao.
She was wearing a veil and couldn't see her face clearly.
However, under the veil, there were a pair of apricot eyes that looked like cold stars.
The pair of apricot eyes directly glared at Chang Shituo, and the girl said in an orderly tone: "Take out the elixir for life."
Not far away, the middle-aged man with wide shoulders and fat body smiled and said, "Miss, just a ninth-class untouchable, there is no need for you to stand up for him."
"Shut up." The girl said coldly.
The sound was extremely shocking, and the middle-aged man's heart stopped beating for a moment, and he did not dare to speak again.
To be continued...
