Chapter 105: The Tough Final Step
Chapter One Hundred and Five
Are you my apprentice?
apprentice
Mo Lidao silently recited the word 'apprentice' back and forth, and his mind was originally full of memories of the pictures of his sister before she died, but gradually changed her appearance little by little.
Instead, it was during this period of time that he got along with Deng Si'er bit by bit.
From the-for-tat confrontation at the first meeting, to the indiscriminate fighting of wine regardless of identity and etiquette at the banquet, or the stumbling and stumbling with refining the Thousand Peerless Pills, the final picture showed Deng Si'er finally worshipping him as a teacher.
Until the memories of the past few days were completely pieced together, Mo Lidao's eyes gradually had a focus, and he was no longer as confused and empty as before.
Yes! Apprentice!
This time, it was not the loneliness and loneliness that accompanied him for more than ten years, but the young man in front of him, who was still young and not yet an adult, and was also his only disciple in this life.
Deng Si'er saw that his actions had an effect on Mo Lidao, and he couldn't help but stand up in surprise, looked at Mo Lidao and said:
"Master, have you come to your senses? Tell me, what do I do next? ”
Mo Lidao gently closed his eyes when he heard this, and when he opened his eyes, he had already regained his former look. But just as Mo Lidao was about to speak, he found that his hand holding the slender bamboo skewer was still shaking.
Mo Lidao worked hard for a long time, but after all, he sighed, raised his uncontrollable hand, looked at Deng Si'er and said:
"My heart has changed, I'm afraid I can't continue to refine."
Deng Si'er was shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect that Mo Lidao would have such a big change in his mood after the crack in the furnace ding, that he couldn't even control his own arm.
What is it for? Will it make a person so far behind?
Deng Si'er didn't know the bitter past behind Mo Lidao. Nor can they understand the influence of those old things on Mo Deviant.
Those past that were deliberately buried in the bottom of his heart by Mo Lidao under the pretext of constantly refining the Thousand Peerless Pill were like snowballs, growing stronger and stronger year by year as the years grew, and it was not until this moment that they broke out, which was so unacceptable.
If it weren't for Deng Si'er's presence. Use your sincerity to wake up Mo Lidao, perhaps, this time. It's not just the last time Mo Lidao refines the Thousand Peerless Pill, but it may become the last time of Mo Lidao's entire alchemy career
Mo Lidao looked at his shaking hands, his thoughts were extremely clear at this moment, and he knew his hurdle more clearly. It's not easy to leap across. While he was grateful to Deng Si'er in his heart, he was disappointed that he could no longer continue refining the Thousand Peerless Pill at this time, but this loss was already very different from the previous decline.
"Deng Si'er, listen, you must do what I say next, and remember not to make a mistake, otherwise. We will fail, and even days of hard work will be ruined. Mo Lidao looked at Deng Si'er. handed the thin bamboo skewer in his hand to Deng Si'er, and his eyes were full of trust in Deng Si'er.
Deng Si'er had never been looked at with such a gaze, he looked at the bamboo stick in his hand, and then raised his head to look at Mo Lidao, nodding solemnly.
"Okay, next, I will stand next to you and guide you in the next moves, the furnace has begun to crack, although there is no movement for the time being, but it is difficult to guarantee any eventuality, so, now we must hurry." Mo Lidao took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the crack that was related to success or failure, and said to Deng Si'er with a slight squint.
"I see." Deng Si'er also looked at the cracks on the furnace ding, walked over and stood in the position where Mo Lidao was refining medicine before, and suddenly felt a surge of pride in his chest, and he said to Mo Lidao with a smile:
"Master, I'm ready, let's get started!"
Mo Lidao looked at Deng Si'er's high-spirited appearance for a moment, just like the excitement and fanaticism when he first came into contact with alchemy when he was young. Suddenly, he no longer had an obsession with the success or failure of his refining of the Thousand Peerless Pills this time, on the contrary, Mo Lidao was more willing to see Deng Si'er succeed.
It seems that as long as Deng Si'er succeeds, he will have hope for the rest of his life to start over.
"Okay, the next thing requires a high degree of mental concentration, do you see a layer of water skin condensed on the medicinal juice?" Mo Lidao calmed down and began to speak out to guide Deng Si'er's movements on the side.
"Yes." Deng Si'er nodded.
"Can you see them all?" Mo Lidao moved and stood behind Deng Si'er, and asked while adjusting Deng Si'er's position and angle.
Through Mo Lidao's adjustment, the position where Deng Si'er was standing was more well-lit, Deng Si'er nodded while listening to Mo Lidao continue to speak:
"From this direction, follow the flow of the wind, use the bamboo skewers in your hands, gently start from the very edge, pick up the condensed water skin, and roll it on the bamboo skewers little by little, remember not to break, but can be a little slower."
Deng Si'er began to move according to the method Mo Lidao said, and his eyes began to stare carefully at the layer of water on the surface of the bamboo skewer touching the medicinal juice, but because of nervousness, the right hand holding the bamboo skewer began to tremble slightly.
Seeing this, Mo Lidao reached out and grabbed Deng Si'er's wrist, looked directly into Deng Si'er's eyes, and said softly:
"Relax, don't be nervous, I'm sure you can do it!"
Deng Si'er nodded, and when Mo Lidao slowly put it on his wrist, he mustered up the courage to pick up the corner of the water skin, and slowly started the first step.
Remembering what Mo Lidao said about following the direction of the wind, Deng Si'er felt it while concentrating on rolling up the water skin little by little, and after a while, a thin layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.
Mo Lidao was surprised to see that Deng Si'er was able to roll the water skin onto the bamboo skewer for the first time, and was shocked and proud of Deng Si'er, even if it was him back then, he couldn't be as successful as Deng Si'er in the first time.
Time passed little by little, and the fine sweat on Deng Si'er's forehead had turned into beads of sweat the size of beans, constantly falling down Deng Si'er's cheeks, Mo Lidao wiped Deng Si'er's sweat with a clean handkerchief, and encouraged him:
"Come on, stinky boy, it'll be fine soon, but don't be discouraged!"
Deng Si'er gritted his teeth, regardless of the soreness of his arm, and stubbornly rolled the water skin with a bamboo stick, but at this moment, the deadly cracking sound suddenly sounded at this moment!
Deng Si'er's hand froze involuntarily.
"Don't panic! Can't stop, Deng Si'er, come on, the teacher is guarding you here! Mo Lidao immediately spoke out calmly, but his palms were in a cold sweat.
Hold on! Stinky boy! It's just a little bit there!
Mo Lidao looked at the half-cut water skin that was only finger wide in the furnace, and silently cheered for Deng Si'er in his heart.
"Click-click"
As the cracking sound continued to sound, looking at the cracks all over the furnace, Deng Si'er's breathing accelerated a lot, but his hands were still steadily rolling the water skin, although he was trembling, he was still holding on.
Just when Deng Si'er was about to roll up the last inch of water skin, the furnace finally couldn't bear to burst out with a shocking bang:
"Bang!!" (To be continued.) )
