Chapter Forty-Eight: Suspicious
Before I entered the door, I heard someone crying inside, and another person comforted me on the side: "Don't cry, the people who come here are afraid at first, after a long time, the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, the big deal is death, not to mention that this is not for you to die, you will naturally get used to it if you want to open it!" ”
When Mu Chen heard this, he was shocked in his heart, he shouldn't feel very proud to be a disciple of the hall elder, right? Presumably it was Lu Yuan's dead pervert who did something "terrible" to his disciple that made people so scared, thinking of this, Mu Chen was excited, and he was glad that Lu Yuan did not accept him as a disciple.
"Ahem!"
The old man first stood at the door and coughed dryly twice, and then led Mu Chen into the room.
When the two teenagers inside heard the sound, they immediately stood with their hands down, trembling all over, and they didn't dare to come out.
The old man looked at the reaction of the two teenagers, covered his mouth and laughed for a while, showing a cunning face, and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's me who scares you, and the head didn't come......"
Mu Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly, this old guy is really childlike, and he is so mischievous.
As soon as the two teenagers saw the old man, they jumped up, hugged their necks and waists, and shouted very affectionately: "Little pot, you haven't come to play with us for a long time!" ”
Mu Chen heard the two teenagers shouting the old man's small pot, and felt very interesting, the old man had always been calm, but at this moment he was also jumping and jumping, looking innocent and cute.
The three of them were hot for a while.
At this time, the two teenagers noticed Mu Chen and asked the old man, "Is there a newcomer again?" ”
The old man's face was a little embarrassed, and he pulled Mu Chen to introduce to the two teenagers: "Yes, this is called Mu Chen, and he is your new roommate, but he is not a disciple of the master, he ...... It's here to refine the Falling Flower Pill. ”
"Refining the Falling Flower Pill?!"
The two teenagers widened their eyes and opened their mouths wide as they asked rhetorically.
Such a strong reaction startled Mu Chen......
Xiao Guozi's face was also extremely unnatural, and he glanced at the two teenagers again and again.
The two teenagers understood, and immediately made a casual appearance again, laughed, and deliberately disguised their response: "It's good, it's good." ”
No matter how stupid Mu Chen was, at this time, he also realized that refining the Falling Flower Pill was definitely not a simple and worry-free thing, it depended on how difficult and dangerous it was......
But Mu Chen also knew that asking the three of them directly at this moment would be fruitless no matter what, if people would tell you, they wouldn't be so secretive.
Xiao Guozi hurriedly changed the topic, pointed to one of the fatter teenagers and introduced to Mu Chen: "This is called Hu Yong, everyone calls him Xiaopang." ”
Then he pointed to another white and thin young man, and continued to introduce to Mu Chen: "This is Zhao Qi, just call him Xiao Qi, the three of you will live here together in the future, if you need any materials to refine the Falling Flower Pill, just let the two of them help you go to the mountains to pick it." ”
Mu Chen nodded to Xiaopang and Zhao Qi in turn, and Xiaopang and Zhao Qi also responded amicably.
Afterwards, Xiao Guozi explained a few words and said something like taking care of each other in the future and left in a hurry.
Mu Chen has already made up his mind at this moment, this Luohua Sect is really a dirty and weird sect, since he has come to the wrong place, he will pay attention to the opportunity and leave here.
After the little pot left, Xiaopang pulled Xiaoqi to take the initiative to help Mu Chen clean up the bed, and asked questions, looking extremely enthusiastic.
Xiao Qi is silent, he doesn't like to talk very much, and there is always a hint of connection with fate in his eyes when he looks at Mu Chen.
In the afternoon of the same day, the three of them went to the pill room together to clean up and clean the tools, so as to prepare Mu Chen's next refining of the Falling Flower Pill.
In the process of cleaning the pill room, Xiaopang and Xiaoqi drilled the table and climbed the window, tired and sweaty, not too dirty or tired, but they never approached the pill furnace, even if the pill furnace seemed to be easier to clean than other places, the two kept their distance and stayed away.
Mu Chen was not reluctant, he cleaned the pill furnace by himself, and he didn't find anything abnormal.
After the three of them finished their work, it was already twilight.
After a tiring day, they were physically and mentally exhausted, and the three of them went back to the dormitory to sleep together, and after a while, they snored and fell asleep.
Fast forward five days.
During these five days, Xiaopang and Xiaoqi had to go to worship the teacher every morning, and since Mu Chen was not Lu Yuan's disciple, there was no need to go together.
After returning from the apprenticeship, Xiaopang and Xiaoqi always give people a feeling of being distracted, but they can return to normal soon, presumably due to the fatigue of the journey, and Mu Chen did not take it to heart.
After a few days of research on the secret book of the elixir, Mu Chen learned that the first step in refining the elixir was to collect the medicine, and after Xiaopang and Xiaoqi finished the apprenticeship every day, they went to the mountains and forests to collect the medicine according to Mu Chen's instructions.
Mu Chen took advantage of the fact that when he was alone, he silently cultivated the "Spirit Healing Form Meaning", originally thinking that the "Spirit Healing Form Meaning" only needed the perfection of the dragon muscles and veins, and it would be easy to succeed.
Who knows, every time at the critical moment when the "Spirit Healing Form Intent" is about to be achieved, Canglong always shows a state of extreme hunger and fatigue, and must continue to eat and replenish a large number of spirit elements before he can continue. Once the spiritual element is cut off from supply, all the previous efforts will be wasted, and sometimes Canglong is extremely tired and simply enters a dormant state.
Mu Chen smiled bitterly in his heart, I don't even have cultivation resources to improve my level, how can I get so many resources to cultivate the "Spirit Healing Form Meaning"?
In the evening of this day, hearing from afar that Xiaopang and Xiaoqi were returning from the bottom of the mountain with the medicine frame on their backs, Mu Chen hurriedly held the pill cheats in his hand, and put a bunch of medicinal materials in front of him, pretending to study the distribution ratio, so as not to be discovered by Xiaopang and Xiaoqi about their silent cultivation.
Although the relationship between the three of them is really good on weekdays, it is indispensable to guard against others.
At this time, Xiaopang and Xiaoqi had already entered the dormitory, the two put down the medicine frame, Xiaopang washed his face and wiped his sweat, and said: "Xiao Mu, the eighteen medicinal materials you want are basically complete now, but Zhenlan grass has not been found." ”
There was a hint of apology in his tone.
Xiaopang secretly poked Xiao Qi with his hand at this time.
Xiao Qi also helped: "Yes...... This Zhenlan herb is very rare, and the weather has been bad these days, and I haven't seen one, so we will continue to look for it tomorrow. ”
Mu Chen smiled slightly, and said: "It's okay, don't worry, I happened to study the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials in the past few days, and I am inferring the distribution ratio of medicinal materials according to the color and smell of the final pill, and the proportion has not been completely determined, so you can find it slowly, and you don't have to work too hard." ”
Xiaopang came to Mu Chen as if he was about to be amnesty, and said with a smile: "If the head asks about the work of the two of us in the past few days, Xiao Mu, you have to tell the truth." ”
Mu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, the two of you have indeed worked hard!" ”
When Xiaopang heard this, he was very happy, and he turned out a huge pheasant from the bottom of the medicine cabinet and said, "Damn, I am a vegetarian every day today, and grass is about to grow in my stomach." Let's improve our lives tonight, this is our herb by the way, but fat! ”
Xiao Qi also showed a greedy look, but he couldn't hide the panic on his face, and said in a slur manner: "Little fatty, I think we should stop eating meat, didn't the head say that we are now in a special period and can't eat meat?" ”
Xiaopang waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Don't be so cautious, you are late, I don't know, I used to secretly eat meat with Xiaoguozi several times in private, and the head of the house will not find out!" ”
Xiao Qi was relieved, smiled, and went over to help light the fire and prepare the barbecue.
Mu Chen stepped forward to take a hand, and asked Xiao Qidao: "Why did Xiao Guozi live here before?" ”
Fat was cleaning pheasants, and when he heard it from afar, he said proudly, "That kid didn't come before me!" It's just ......"
At this point, Xiaopang seemed to know that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly stopped, his face was quite embarrassed, he smiled, and lowered his head to clean the pheasant, which looked quite unnatural.
Looking at Xiao Qi again, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Mu Chen smiled, pretended not to care, and changed the topic: "Chubby, do you know how to roast chicken?" If it is not delicious, you can be punished for boiling water for everyone's feet at night. ”
I was very puzzled in my heart, I thought that "Little Pot" was just the old man's nickname, who knew that Little Fat would call the old man "boy"?
