Chapter 6: The Fall of the Bell Star
Before the crane doctor came to see his illness, there was a strange sound in the alchemy furnace, and a strong and pungent smell emanated everywhere, this Guiyuan Dan was secretly made of Longdan grass and king cobra meat in the Western Regions, before adding the relict oil to reconcile, Guiyuan Dan is also the effect of the perfect supplement, but after adding the relict oil, it has the effect of resurrecting the dead.
Doctor Crane: Why did you come here for alchemy?
Little Mute: Me, me.
The little mute gestured that he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the time of the 10th day of the fifth month, and he pointed to the old white toad in the bamboo basket.
Dr. Crane was very happy to see that the old toad in the bamboo basket had come back to life. But the skin of this toad is no longer snow-white, but slightly yellowish, Doctor Crane thinks that the toad has died once should be greatly damaged, and it is understandable that it has turned yellow, probably the effect of the medicine is not so good, anyway, no one can see when it is ground into powder. Doctor Crane dipped a drop of relic oil and the mixed liquid of Guiyuan Dan in his mouth, and after a while, the green color of his whole body receded, and his whole body was refreshed and looked ten years younger.
So Dr. Crane took the toad and the termite king to the fire and concocted it for seven days and seven nights, until the day the furnace was opened, the stars in the night sky changed strangely.
Doctor Crane: The furnace will be opened at the junction of morning and dusk tonight, but there is a great catastrophe about to happen in this astrological sign.
Doctor Crane kicked the little mute who was sleeping next to the alchemy furnace, and the little mute rubbed his eyes and saw a red Ling star fall in the sky. The sky suddenly seemed to be lit up, emitting a huge fire, which reached the sky, but it was extinguished in an instant.
The little mute didn't know if he was wrong or true, so he hurriedly tugged at the doctor's shirt and asked the doctor.
Dr. Tsuru: A catastrophe is coming.
The little mute looked at the extremely frightened expression on the master's face, and he also panicked.
Doctor Crane looked at the pill that was about to be completed in the alchemy furnace, and suddenly he had an idea, he found the white toad he brought back when he was collecting the medicine, molted, and then divided the toad skin and the toad's medicine into two parts, and made two parts of the toad skin and the toad's elixir.
Doctor Crane: Although the effect of this toad's skin is not as powerful as that of this old toad, it is enough for her to prolong her life.
Doctor Crane put the elixir made of the old toad into a small inconspicuous bottle, and put the elixir made of the toad's skin into a wooden box carved with nanmu.
Dr. Crane: Pack, we'll have to pack our bags and get ready to leave.
The little mute looked at Doctor Crane with a blank expression, he didn't realize what the fall of the red star meant.
Dr. Crane: We're going to have to sell this house as soon as possible, little mute, and you go to the market and get the word out.
The little mute ran out as soon as he smoked.
Doctor Crane saw that the family couldn't take away more than a dozen people, so he took the money from the sale of the house to the long-term workers and dismissed them on the spot. No one understands what happened at home, but only Dr. Tsuru knows that the fall of Lingxing is a disaster. From that reddish sky, disaster will slowly spread to them, and when the time comes, it will be too late.
The little mute packed his bags and asked the master when he was on his way.
Doctor He: Hey, it's not good, two days later, there is a birthday ceremony for the wife of the Emperor of War to go to congratulate the gift, the master is not going to go, this Emperor of War has already learned that I am secretly making pills for him, if I don't send it, before the disaster comes, I will already fall to the ground.
The little mute hesitated and wanted the master not to go.
Doctor Crane: Little mute, you take the money to eat a few delicious meals, and then come back with some dry food, in case there are any variables in the next two days, we will also be a full ghost.
When the little mute heard the master say this, he obviously felt that this trip was more auspicious and less auspicious, and he pulled the master and refused to let go.
Doctor Crane: Little mute, you have grown up, there are some things that must be told to you, the master is not a good person, he has been raising you since he picked you up from the river, because he was too poor and destitute, he was ready to sell you and give you away, I didn't expect the Emperor of War to offer a high reward for a tongue back then, I recommended you, but I didn't expect the Emperor of War to take a fancy to your mouth, and asked you to go, the master was also crazy, in order to pay tribute to the Emperor of War, sacrificed you. The master entrusts this family and the most important pill to you, you take it well, don't lose it, in case it falls into the hands of bad people, it will be a bad thing. Take care of yourself.
The little mute listened to the master confess in front of him, and the tears in his eyes fell uncontrollably.
Doctor Crane: Human anger is easy to understand, but natural anger is not easy to understand. The war emperor has already touched the wrath of the heavens, how to punish the dawn people will suffer, little mute, what else do you want to do but haven't done, do it before the master returns.
With that, Doctor Crane set out with the tribute, and he was to rush to the Palace of Joy before the tenth day of the fifth month to attend the banquet of the Emperor's wife.
Dr. Crane rode his horse and looked at the horizon, and felt more and more that something was wrong, at first the sky was scarlet when Lingxing fell, but now it has turned reddish-brown. Doctor Crane pinched his fingers and calculated, this wave of catastrophe may come early.
The little mute who was guarding the house took the elixir entrusted to him by the master before leaving, and went to the restaurant. The time with the master is very economical, this time the master entrusted him with the money from the sale of the house and the elixir, which made the little mute feel an unprecedented panic in his heart, he ordered a table of dishes, but he couldn't speak.
Xiao Er: Guest officer, you shouldn't be able to afford this meal.
The little mute slapped the money on the table.
Xiao Er: I'm afraid this is not enough, our store is already the only restaurant that is still open, these places are full of war, who still goes to the restaurant, and they are all Huangquan rice for people who are about to go on the road.
The little mute looked at the shopkeeper in astonishment.
Xiao Er: I don't think you are a person who will repay your debts, what we earn here is dead people's money, take out anything valuable on you, we will entertain you with good wine and food, and you will be comfortable on the road when you eat well.
The little mute glanced at the flies flying around on the table, and maggots growing in the dish, and he couldn't eat at all. As soon as he slapped the table, he got up and shouted.
Little Mute: Woo!
The little mute pointed to the table and almost threw it up.
Xiao Er: You still dislike this? How many starvation to death on the side of the road do you take a look?
Xiao Er pointed to the corpses huddled together on the side of the road downstairs.
Xiao Er: Look at it, this table is full of wine and food, be content.
The little mute looked at the table and drank the wine, so he picked up the flask and drank it all.
Xiao Er: Guest, you didn't give enough money, I'm sorry, I have to offend.
Xiao Er stretched out his hand to grab the little mute, but he didn't expect the little mute to counteract Xiao Er.
Xiao Er shouted: "Come on! There is someone here who wants to eat the overlord meal."
The little mute stretched out his hand and pushed the oncoming thug five meters away, and he hit the thug on the wall with an uppercut and couldn't move, never thought that these three guys would go on together, and the little mute would be tossed enough. Inadvertently, the elixir that the little mute was carrying fell out and rolled under the cracks in the floor. Picked up by a little girl.
The little girl was locked up by this black shop and became a subordinate. She had to do everything, laundry, cleaning, cooking. After finishing it, he went back to rest and sleep under the basement, this day she was asleep and suddenly woke up by the sound of fighting upstairs, a bead fell from the crack in the floor, he stepped forward to pick up the black bead, smelled, this elixir exudes a sweet and delicious vanilla taste, the little girl didn't think about it, thought it was delicious and swallowed it in one bite, but he didn't expect this elixir to make his body change dramatically.
The little girl seemed to have changed, and the previously sloppy and unkempt little girl instantly became a plump and elegant woman with long hair and waist, and more importantly, she could lift the floor with a wave of her hand, and she could soar into the air with a slight tap of her toes. A slim woman suddenly appeared in front of the little mute, and the little mute was stunned, thinking to himself, where did this fairy come from, sent to save me?
The little mute suddenly felt that it was a great pity in his life that he couldn't speak, he really wanted to speak, and in nineteen years, he had never been so eager to speak. But he didn't want to appear clumsy and incompetent in front of the fairy, so he could only watch quietly.
The fairy who had taken the pill looked at the people in the black shop who had bullied him and waved her hand and beat them all to their knees and begged for mercy, and the little mute thanked him, so he hurried home.
The first thing the little mute did when he returned to the house was to find the alchemy furnace, and he rummaged through the cabinets and found a drop of Guiyuan relics water, which the master said could make the rotten flesh renew and bring the dead back to life. He wanted to see if his tongue could recover. He took it to his mouth, expecting a miracle to happen.
An hour passed, and the miracle did not happen.
The little mute turned over the bamboo basket he brought out when he was collecting medicine, and found that there was still a leaf of redbud grass hidden in the gap of the bamboo basket, so he took this leaf in his mouth, and the redbud grass combined with the essence of the Guiyuan relics played a miraculous effect, and after a while, the little mute grew a tongue. The little mute finally had a tongue and he could speak.
Little Mute: Ahhhhh
The little mute shouted excitedly, and he hurried back to the restaurant, only to find that the fairy was no longer there.
This fairy was originally from a distant town to escape the wilderness, passing by this black shop said that the work can be full, so he worked here for a long time, this day inadvertently picked up a pill from the crack in the floor, after eating it, she found that not only did she become beautiful and plump, her body naturally glowed with body fragrance, and she didn't know how much energy was hidden in her body, maybe only when she was really in danger her small universe would burst out, and all this, the little mute didn't know that it was because of the effect of the pill. But the little fairy knew it.
Little Fairy: Hello, my name is Xiwei
The little mute didn't think that the little fairy actually took the initiative to find him.
Little Mute: Siwei.
Sivi: What about you?
The little mute was stunned for a moment
Little mute: I'm a little step from the Heju Hospital.
Xiaobu: Have we met?
Xiwei: yes, we met in the restaurant.
Xiaobu: You saved me.
Xiwei: It's just a gesture.
Xiaobu: For me, it's more than just a gesture.
Xiwei: Huh.
Xiaobu: Where are you going?
Xiwei: I have to save my family, who are trapped in the Emperor's prison.
Xiaobu: I'll go with you, and I'll go to my master too.
With that, the two of them set out on the road together.
