Chapter 8: The Tiger and the Claw
As soon as he entered the cave, he hurriedly brought various ointments for Lu Yi to configure, and Lu Yi sat obediently and waited.
The cave is full of all kinds of herbs, medical books, and Danjing, and there is no place to stand. At first glance, it looked extremely disorganized, but if she wanted to find something, she could find it from a corner of a high shelf in a matter of seconds.
The most conspicuous piece of furniture is the bronze mirror, which is the only one in the village. The wooden drawer below is filled with rouge gouache and various women's accessories.
As soon as Tao Yunjin saw the mirror, he leaned over to take a closer look at the person in the mirror. She hadn't taken a good look at her new face.
I saw that this face was angular, especially the bridge of the nose was straight and high. Although the eyes are a little small, they are better than the gods. The lips are slightly thicker, and it is a physiognomy that looks loyal.
Tao Yunjin frowned slightly, not the type she liked.
Another face appeared in the mirror, it was Yao Gu. "Ah Yi, I think the male university will also change eighteen, you seem to have changed a lot recently, and your eyes will glow. If you walk on Songcheng Street, you might be taken by a little girl from one family!"
Lu Yi's ears were a little hot, and he hurriedly turned his head not to look at the person in the mirror.
Yao Gu took the ointment and rubbed it on Lu Yi, and praised it while wiping: "Yes, after the furnace was ignited, the strength of the body has increased a lot, and the wound is much shallower than before." And your body will recover much faster, and it will heal in a few hours. ”
Rubbing the wound, Lu Yi couldn't help frowning: "But it still hurts." ”
Yao Gu smiled and rubbed his hair: "Got it! ”
rummaged in the medicine box for a while, and threw a round brown pill to Lu Yi.
Lu Yi threw it into his mouth, clucked and crushed, and his mouth was sweet.
Yao Gu smiled: "Can't you refine this thing yourself? Come to me every day to ask for it, lazy bones!"
Lu Yi scratched his head: "Too stupid, I can't learn all the time." ”
Yao Gu looked at him meaningfully: "I realized the flood furnace in one day, if you want to say that you are stupid, there is no smart person in this world." ”
Lu Yi's eyes were all around, and he didn't dare to look directly into Yao Gu's eyes.
Yao Gu smiled and pointed to the table: "Those on the Dan book, I taught you before, you review it first, and now I will refine a furnace of Lingyuan Pill, which is just used to warm and consolidate the aura in your body." ”
Lu Yi said diligently: "Yes." ”
In the evening of that day, Lu Yi was in a daze at the entire ten furnaces of Lingyuan Dan.
Ah Yi was a little worried: "In the past, I could only refine one furnace after such a while, but now I have refined so much, what will Yao Gu think?"
Tao Yunjin shrugged: "Didn't you say that this pill is good for eating? Then I'll refine a little more, it's not difficult anyway." ”
Yao Gu came in with a basket of medicines, and was stunned when she saw so many pills: "Ah Yi, this is what you refined?"
Lu Yi nodded.
Yao Gu looked surprised: "Ah Yi, you really opened up." ”
She pulled a stool and sat down in front of her: "Come, tell me about the process of alchemy, and explain every step clearly." ”
Lu Yi listed the configured herb ores one by one, the concoction of each herb, the ratio of each ore, and the number of doses at what hour, and described them one by one.
Yao Gu nodded from time to time, and often interjected: "No, this step is not good enough." Listen, that's how it should be. ”
She pointed out Lu Yi's shortcomings and demonstrated it herself.
Lu Yi nodded frequently, if it is according to Yaogu's practice, let alone ten furnaces, twenty furnaces are no problem, and the quality of each furnace can be even better.
After spending the afternoon at Yaogu's place, he did not come out until the sun was in the west, and had just returned to his cave, when he suddenly heard a "squeak" cry, and saw a small round head emerging from the haystack.
Lu Yi was pleasantly surprised: "San'er, you can find me." ”
San'er stood up and patted the grass clippings on his body: "Our family is all over the world, and it is not easy to find you." Besides, you stink so much, I can find it with my nose. Huh?"
He sniffed, "You don't seem to have any smell on you." ”
Lu Yi smiled: "Is the baby here?"
San'er: "He didn't dare to approach, Aunt Hua said that there were many traps around the village." ”
Lu Yi's expression was solemn: "Well, you have to be careful." ”
San'er sniffed again: "What is so fragrant?"
Lu Yi took out his pocket from his arms and poured out the honey pill from it: "This?"
San'er climbed down his arm to the palm of his hand, grabbed one and took a bite, exclaiming, "Well!
Lu Yi laughed: "yes! ”
San'er stuffed one on both sides of his cheeks, and he couldn't say clearly: "Bring a few to the baby to taste." ”
Lu Yi nodded: "It's not difficult, I'll refine a few more furnaces tonight." You're going to live with me. ”
The three children were well fed and drunk, and slept on all fours in the haystack.
Lu Yi continued to cultivate cross-legged, and when the aura was shuttling through his body, the whiplash and sword wounds on his body recovered very quickly, and he was almost healed before he fell asleep.
Tao Yunjin was tired: "I said, when is this day a head? ”
Ah Yi smiled: "How can there be an end? I come here like this every day." Sometimes, though, they go into the forest to hunt. ”
Tao Yunjin was infinitely melancholy: "I miss the old days at school, and now I think it's like heaven, just look at books and write homework, no one beats me, and no one forces me." It's a pity that I used to skip class all the time, and I was always scolded by the teacher, and sometimes I called my mother to school to be scolded together, alas!"
Ah Yi looked at Tao Yunjin strangely, and stopped talking.
Tao Yunjin turned his head to look at him: "What's the matter?"
Ah Yi: "I think you always miss your world, it's a bit bad." ”
Tao Yunjin wondered: "What's wrong?"
Ah Yi is hesitant.
Tao Yunjin said angrily: "You have something to say!"
Ah Yi said carefully: "I think it's not good to think about those useless things, and you have to face reality." ”
Tao Yunjin frowned: "Why don't I face the reality? As soon as I comprehend, I will comprehend the Hong Furnace, and as soon as I refine the pill, I will refine the Ten Furnaces, and I will face the reality better than you." ”
Ah Yi also became serious: "It's because you're smart! How good it would be if you used your wisdom on the right path." ”
Tao Yunjin's tone was impatient: "Are you saying that my world is a crooked demon? I came from there, I have been there for more than ten years, and all the knowledge and experience lessons have been gained there, could it be that you told me to forget all about that world?"
Ah Yi was dumbfounded, thinking to himself that a woman's thinking jumped so fast? Don't you think that Yao Gu is such a person! She waved her hand in a hurry: "You can speak well, but don't misinterpret my words, okay?" I didn't mean that. ”
Tao Yunjin snorted and turned his back: "You just want me to forget the past, help you understand the Hong Furnace more, and help you refine the pill more!"
The corners of Ah Yi's mouth twitched: "I didn't say that!"
Tao Yunjin sulked: "But that's what you mean!"
Ah Yi turned his back with a snort: "If you want to think so, I can't help it!"
The next morning, San'er felt that Lu Yi was a little weird.
He stretched out his right hand to take the jerky, but his left hand hit his right hand and shouted, "Wash your hands before eating!"
Then he immediately said, "Poor!"
Then he shouted, "No hygiene!"
Then he said, "I've always eaten like this, and there's nothing uncomfortable about it." ”
Soon he shouted, "No matter! I can't eat without washing my hands." ”
San'er looked at this man with blank eyes, walked to the waterhole to wash his hands, got up and walked back to get jerky, turned back to the waterhole halfway, and finally returned. I went back and forth several times, but I was not able to wash my hands or eat jerky.
San'er coughed: "I said, don't wash your hands and don't eat, let's go find the baby?"
As soon as Lu Yi walked out of the cave, he saw Grandpa Gan standing in the clearing, beckoning to him, and then turned around and walked towards the forest.
When he was far away from the cave, Grandpa Gan stopped, and there was an extra whip in his hand.
Tao Yunjin's scalp was numb: "Here we go again." ”
Ah Yi still said the same sentence: "You will get used to it in the future." ”
Tao Yunjin pouted: "What a broken place! I don't want to stay, I want to go home!"
Ah Yi interface: "If you want to go back, hurry back!"
The godfather picked up the whip and whipped it towards Lu Yi, and when San'er saw that it was not good, he slipped into the grass with a bang.
Ah Yi and Tao Yunjin pointed to the east and the west, one up and the other down, but the first move was knocked out of the iron sword in their hands, and the second move was firmly drawn in the middle of the chest.
Grandpa Godfather was angry when he saw it, is this still worth it? If he faced an opponent, his life would have been lost at this moment!
The crisp whip sounded louder than the other, and the godfather shouted loudly while smoking: "What's the matter?
Lu Yi screamed: "Ahhh
"So you don't pay attention!"
"Ahh ”
San'er covered his ears and hid in the grass for a long time, and finally heard the whip stop, and Lu Yi was paralyzed on the ground, with many scars on his body.
San'er hurriedly climbed on his shoulder, took out a honey pill and stuffed it in his mouth. "It doesn't hurt to eat this. ”
This was given to him by Lu Yi last night, and he didn't eat it all, but hid it.
Lu Yi touched his head with a smile: "It doesn't hurt." Grandpa God's subordinates are still merciful, probably taking care of Aunt Yao. ”
Grandpa Gan didn't seem to be angry yet: "You have grown capable, ah? Only then have you comprehended a few flood furnaces, you dare to be half-hearted, and don't practice martial arts well? Do you know that martial arts are the foundation of the foundation! In the future, there will be more and more flood furnaces in your body, and even the seven major flood furnaces will be ignited, but you also have to rely on martial arts to exert them, do you understand? The flood furnace is like a tiger, martial arts are sharp claws, if a tiger is not sharp enough with its claws, what is the use of having great strength? Do you use your body to hit your opponent? Or use your roar to deter your opponent?"
Lu Yi lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Grandpa, I understand, I must concentrate in the future and dare not be distracted." ”
Tao Yunjin and Ah Yi glanced at each other and sighed in unison.
Grandpa Gan put away the whip: "Go to the medicine aunt, come back to participate in the sacrifice, tomorrow I have to buy New Year's goods, the day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve." ”
Lu Yi limped away and found Yaogu's cave.
Seeing Lu Yi's wounds, Yao Gu naturally couldn't help but count the bald man for a while, but she was helpless to take that stubborn old man.
In addition to giving Lu Yi a healing dressing, he fed more than a dozen Lingyuan Pills, and then took a recipe for a thousand gold to bake and disperse, and asked Lu Yi to try a furnace, which had a great effect on improving the capacity of the flood furnace to store spiritual energy.
Lu Yi swallowed the Lingyuan Pill, breathed for a while, felt that the pain of the wounds all over his body had been reduced a lot, and remembered his grandfather's instructions, so he didn't dare to stay longer, so he went to the big cave in the middle of the cliff.
