Chapter 10: The Female Ghost in the Well
When Chen Jinnian opened his eyes, he saw Zhishu squatting in front of her and counting the broken hair on her forehead with his hand, Xiao Ke had long since disappeared.
Reaching out and touching the cloak covering his body, Chen Jinnian only felt sore, which was probably the price of falling asleep like this on the chair.
Zhishu saw that Chen Jinnian woke up, and smiled crookedly, "Miss, you finally woke up, why did you sleep until noon like a big lazy pig?" But I took the cloak on the young lady's body! I'm amazing, hehe......" said with a look of begging for praise.
Chen Jinnian helplessly stretched out his sore hand and rubbed Zhishu's little head, this silly girl is so cute, she really can't bear to say anything about her.
Forget it, it's good to be like this all the time, she doesn't want to know what to change, she just wants her to be so happy all the time.
After cleaning up and walking out of the alchemy room, I saw Quicksand guarding the door with a cold face, and Xiao Ke with an anxious face standing beside him.
"Xiao Ke, what's wrong with you?" As soon as Chen Jinnian asked, Xiao Ke immediately ran to her.
"The potion you refined is gone! I recorded it and stored it in a glass box! ”
Xiao Ke was a little excited, he clearly remembered that he put it in the glass box, but in the morning he didn't even see the shadow of the glass box.
"It's a big deal, just refine another one, don't be in such a hurry." Chen Jinnian made a look of indifference and waved his hand.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this sentence was finished, Xiao Ke's whole face was depressed, and he hugged his head in pain, "But the essence bead of Binghe is gone, and the next time I will have to wait for next year......
Chen Jinnian was a little confused, "Then practice another pair next year, and I'll help you then." "It's just a bottle of potion, and I don't know how high my recovery will be next year, and it's not something that comes easily.
"A-Qing can't wait for next year...... This year is the deadline......" Xiao Ke's face was full of despair, and the man in his twenties cried helplessly.
At this time, Quicksand, who was guarding outside the door for a morning, told Chen Jinnian the story about Xiao Ke.
Xiao Ke was originally a famous alchemist in Changshen City, but he came to Xingwu City that year because he made a bet with someone to refine a potion.
He wanted to find the golden crow beast hidden on the top of the Xingwu Mountain, and take the blood of his young son to refine the medicine.
But he didn't want to be conspired by the bet man, and almost died, and the claw with the golden black poison caught his wife Wei Qing.
He took his wife to look for an alchemist to detoxify him, and in the end he only got a sentence left by a senior alchemist.
If you can't get rid of the poison within three years, you can only be burned to death by the poison.
Later, he took his wife to the Su family and became the alchemist of the Su family, constantly looking for various medicinal materials that can detoxify fire poison and suppress fire poison for refining and fusion.
The failure of yesterday's part was already expected by him, and this was the umpteenth time he had failed, but he didn't expect Chen Jinnian's drop of medicine to unlock the key point of taking the medicine.
When Chen Jinnian refined the bottle of medicine, he knew that his wife was saved, and he thought about asking her consent in the morning, but he didn't want to be excited, and he got up all night but couldn't find the bottle of medicine in the morning.
Chen Jinnian thought about summoning the rice ball to help search, but with a sweep of his senses, he found that the rice ball was not in the spirit beast space.
Raising his left hand, he condensed a spirit butterfly made of spiritual power, and the spirit butterfly stayed in Xiao Ke's hand for a moment before flapping its wings outside the courtyard.
Following the path of the spirit butterfly, the four of them soon came to a deserted courtyard, pushed open the crumbling wooden door, and a smell of rotting plants invaded their faces, and the huge courtyard was empty, the breeze stirred the half-human-high weeds in the courtyard, and a thick layer of leaves had rotted on the ground, leaving only the main trunk.
Su Luoxi, who has lived in the house for many years, has never been to this courtyard.
I suddenly remembered the conversation of some people in my memory, saying that there was a female ghost in white in this courtyard, and this courtyard was the coolest place in the house during the day, and there was always a hoarse cry at night.
Chen Jinnian watched the spirit butterfly stop on the stone table in the courtyard and dissipate, frowned slightly and touched the stone table, which was already a layer of ash.
Walking into the house, almost no part of it was intact, it was in tatters, and many places were covered with cobwebs, except for ...... The chairs that come out of the dresser are clean.
Chen Jinnian, who walked out of the house, saw the quicksand with the sword on his waist coming over and shook his head at her, and Xiao Ke's face was even more dead.
pulled Xiao Ke up, "Don't be so pessimistic, there must be someone in the courtyard." Xiao Ke raised his eyes to look at Chen Jinnian, who was full of confidence, and his expression slowly perked up.
Right! He can't give up! Once you give up, A-Qing will have no way to live!
The three of them searched the courtyard, and suddenly Zhishu ran over, and said a word in Chen Jinnian's mouth, which made Chen Jinnian's eyes light up.
Condensed a fire vine in his hand, walked to a tree with almost no leaves, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and playfully glanced at the few leaves on the tree that were blown by the wind, "Still not out?" Do you want me to give it to you? ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw the body of the tree tremble violently, and a woman suddenly floated out of the tree.
Raising his hand with extremely long nails, he opened his bloody mouth, and attacked Chen Jinnian's chest with a hideous face.
Quicksand immediately pulled out his sword and blocked it in front of Chen Jinnian, and one person and one ghost fought.
The quicksand doesn't look very old, but the sword breath is very calm, and the sword qi is rolling endlessly like a cloud, and the moves are deadly.
The female ghost didn't seem to be good at close combat, but she fought back weakly, and in a moment she was already scarred, and the white clothes on her body were also blackened by the ghost's blood.
The female ghost who couldn't support it fell to her knees on the ground, and Chen Jinnian reached out to stop the quicksand that was about to start.
stepped forward and waved a soul power to calm down the female ghost, and the female ghost gradually dispersed the black qi on her body to reveal her original appearance.
"Why did you steal my potion?" Chen Jinnian was curious, what was the use of a resentful spirit hiding in a tree stealing her potion?
The female ghost had a long mouth as if she was saying something, and she pointed to her mouth in a hurry.
When you look closely, there is no tongue in her mouth!?
Chen Jinnian pinched the trick and condensed a spell mark on the female ghost, and the crisp voice of the female ghost instantly sounded in the courtyard.
"Save him, I want to save him!"
The female ghost covered her mouth in disbelief, and opened it several times before she realized that she could speak!
Stretched out his hand and grabbed Chen Jinnian's sleeve, "Please Miss save him!" He's not dead yet! I don't know what this potion is for, I just want to revive him! ”
Chen Jinnian nodded silently, and the female ghost took her to a dry well and jumped directly.
Feeling that his temples thumped twice, Chen Jinqing sighed and jumped down.
When I came to the well, I found that there was a hole in the well, and the well was almost arranged according to the courtyard on the ground, and when I followed the female ghost into the house, I saw a room similar to an altar, and although the courtyard was cold outside, the well was very warm.
Xiao Ke and Quicksand jumped down after Chen Jinnian, and the four of them walked into the inner room together, there was a bead floating in the center of the altar that emitted this faint light, and a circle of souls around it nourished the bead.
With a wave of Chen Jinnian's hand, all the souls beside the person returned to the female ghost, and the female ghost's breath was much stronger for a while.
