Chapter 154: Confession
The wheel of time is perpetually moving, spinning like a tightly knit gear, causing the shadow on the corona to rotate slowly around the main axis, and faintly a bell seems to ring, directing the time to the night and urging people to rest early.
The horses in front of them neighed and woke up the coachman leaning on the carriage. He glanced around as alertly as an eagle, but saw only a few people around the campfire. With a comfortable sigh, he changed into a comfortable position and soon sank into a dream.
Wen Jin and the three of them sat on the ground by the bonfire, which crackled and burned like a huge torch. The firelight lit their faces in a flickering light, with an orange glow on them. Rhubarb lay next to him, his head resting on his two front legs, and made a slight purring sound.
"You say, what has Master Li been doing lately, he has to disappear for a while." Guo Ke asked with his hand against his chin. In this quiet night, the voice of speech seems to be a little more ethereal, as soft as foam floating on the water.
Recently, Li Wuming always makes excuses to leave the three of them, and he doesn't know where he went, but when he comes back, he always looks tired, as if he has just been fished out of the water. "What else can I do?" Wen Jin pursed his lips, "I'm going to give you alchemy." ”
"Alchemy, ......" You Jiao'er sat on the grass, her face couldn't help but show a look of expectation, like a child thinking about a holiday gift, "Wen Jin, you say, can we really rely on the pill to become an immortal cultivator?" ”
"What's so hard about that?" Wen Jin put his hands behind his head, thought for a while, plucked a verdant piece of grass from the ground and put it in his mouth, "The eggs laid by a Jindan stage spirit beast are enough for dozens of you to become immortal cultivators, but, hmm...... Side effects are a problem, it's like eating a pig in one sitting, it's always going to be a little hard to digest. ”
"No, he's coming." Wen Jin spat out the grass that he had bitten in his mouth and looked at a dark jungle next to him. Li Wuming walked there in the darkness, gradually appearing in their sight, as if he was sketching his figure on a piece of dark drawing paper.
His face was full of fatigue, and the dark circles under his eyes and forehead lines on his face were a little deeper, as if someone had carved a few strokes on it with an ink pen. Li Wuming walked lazily, but after seeing Wen Jin and a few people, he still said hello with a strong spirit:
"Yo, my apprentices, hello!" Stretching out his hand and waving it a few times like shaking a fan, Li Wuming's eyes flashed a little smug, "Come here, see what good things I have prepared for you, this is something I took a lot of effort to toss." ”
Li Wuming mysteriously covered something like a squirrel that stored food. Wen Jin and the others stood up from the campfire, ran a few steps in front of him, and cast their fire-like eyes on the things he was covering.
"This is ......" Li Wuming slowed down his speech, he was about to say the word, his eyes were sharp and seductive, his eyes were breathtaking, he looked at the three people in front of him who had been waiting for a long time, and his tone was faintly seductive, like a child showing off a toy, "This is ......"
"I know, this is an elixir, right, an elixir that can make us become immortal cultivators." Guo Ke touched his head and said a little shyly. "......" Li Wuming looked at Guo Ke sharply, his eyes were wide and small, and he seemed to hear the sound of heartbreak.
What a surprise I had prepared! Is it so obvious? His face froze, and he swallowed what he was about to say. After a few mutters in his mouth, he reacted, and his face was like a puppet and smiled: "That's right, it's the elixir, ahaha......"
He spread his hands and placed a beautifully made porcelain vase on it. After pouring out the contents of the porcelain bottle, everyone found that they were three red pills, with crimson lines on them, and from time to time dazzling white sparks appeared from inside, as if they were wrapped in magma.
"Is it just that?" You Jiao'er took one from Li Wuming's outstretched hand, and looked at the crimson elixir in her hand like a work of art with a little obsession. Thinking that she had been here since she became an immortal, she couldn't help but feel that this elixir was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
"Of course." Li Wuming grinned, with some warmth in his smile, and he also thought of the time when he first became an immortal cultivator, "But I need to protect the Dharma by my side." This elixir...... Let's call it a firework pill, the energy it has is not something that can be withstood normally, just like a barrel of spirits, which can not only intoxicate people, but also kill people. ”
You Jiao'er was startled, and couldn't help but clench the fireworks pill, faintly feeling that she was holding a hurtful soldering iron. But do you just give up? She already had the answer in her mind. "You Jiao'er, since you have chosen to become an immortal, you must be prepared to face life and death, you are not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" She cheered herself up in her heart.
Guo Ke took another Fireworks Pill from Li Wuming's hand. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were rock-solid with determination. Ever since he embarked on this path, he has put life and death aside, and although he still has some fear of death, it can't stop him.
"Good." Li Wuming's eyes showed approval, and he stretched out his hand to Wen Jin, and was stunned to find that he was scratching his head in embarrassment, and he wanted to refuse to welcome back. Could it be that he is afraid of death? As soon as this thought surfaced, Li Wuming saw Wen Jin take a long breath, and the hesitation in his eyes disappeared, like spring snow melting.
He faced Li Wuming, and said in a weak voice like a mosquito: "Master Li." "Huh?" "That, that, I've had something I've wanted to say for a long time, actually, actually, ......" "Hmm...... Well?! Don't come here! ”
Li Wuming shivered, and goosebumps all over his body spread rapidly like small insects flying all over the sky. With a frightened face, he stepped back again and again, and the speed of waving his hand could bring up the wind: "Don't don't, although you are beautiful, I really don't like this!" ”
"......" Wen Jin suddenly had an urge to hide his face, what the hell is this guy thinking, is his mind full of water, and it is still like waves of the sea! He said expressionlessly, "I mean, I've actually been an immortal cultivator for a long time, the kind in the middle of the Qi cultivation period. ”
As he spoke, he lifted the restriction of the Qingzhi Xuanguo. Suddenly, his momentum continued to rise, like a dam bursting its embankment, and it didn't stop until the middle of the Qi cultivation period - telling Li Wuming this secret, he had deep considerations, of course, more trust in Li Wuming.
Returning to the state of an immortal cultivator, Wen Jin felt a burst of refreshment, as if he had broken free from the shackles and experienced the sweetness of freedom. A long-lost self-confidence returned to the bottom of his heart, like a milk swallow returning to its nest, making him like a mirror, reflecting the blazing light.
