Chapter Twenty-Eight: Ghost Cultivation
The architectural style looks like the Republic of China period, which is very old, and the red paint under the eaves is mostly mottled, revealing dark brown moss.
The housekeeper was very silent along the way, and it wasn't until he walked into the living room that he spoke: "Miss will be here in a while, please wait a moment for Mr. Ye!" ”
The housekeeper turned around and left, leaving Ye Xuan alone in the room, he sat patiently for a while, feeling bored, so he got up and looked at the room furnishings.
A table and a chair here are all wooden, in it, as if back to ancient times, there are several ancient paintings hanging on the wall, the artistic conception is good, the most eye-catching, is a huge screen erected between the inner room and the living room.
The screen is more than five meters wide, made of white silk, and the top is dusty, completely blocking the view.
Ye Xuan was about to walk in to take a look, when a soft voice suddenly came: "The humble house is shabby, snubbing Mr. Ye!" ”
A figure walked out of the room, the figure curled, she did not show up, but said through the screen: "I have been unwell recently, and it is inconvenient to meet guests, please forgive Mr. Ye!" ”
Ye Xuan smiled and waved his hand: "It's out of the way!" ”
The woman introduced herself: "My surname is Liu, and my single name is a euphemism!" He is the general manager of the southwest region of pyroxene auction company! Mr. Ye, please take a seat, Xiaomin, serve tea! ”
A woman in her early twenties stepped out of the screen, her eyebrows lowered, and she carried a pot of tea in her hand, which she poured into the cup, with a touch of medicinal fragrance.
Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows, this is at least more than a hundred years of green mandarin grass, used to make tea and drink, it is really a luxury!
"Miss Liu invited me today, I don't know what happened?"
"Don't blame Mr. Ye, I want to confirm first, is the myelin-washing pill that was entrusted to our company to auction some time ago refined by Mr. Ye?"
"It's me!"
"So, Mr. Ye is an alchemist?" Liu Wan's tone was eager.
"It's just a little trick to carve insects!"
"Mr. Ye is too modest!"
Liu Wan said happily: "In this world, there is no one in ten thousand immortal cultivators, let alone an alchemist, you have such a skill, and you will definitely have an unlimited future in the future!" ”
Ye Xuan smiled and picked up the teacup to drink.
"I can't hide it, I invite you to come over this time just for alchemy!"
She shouted Xiaomin, and the woman took out an ancient prescription and handed it to Ye Xuan.
It only listed the medicinal materials, and did not write the name of the pill, but Ye Xuan still saw it at a glance: "Eight pins of pills to replenish yin pills? ”
"Mr. Ye has good eyesight!"
Liu Wan said softly: "All the medicinal materials are ready, if Mr. Ye can refine it successfully, Liu Wan will be grateful!" ”
Ye Xuanmu pondered.
This Yin Tonifying Pill is the same as the Gathering Spirit Pill, both are eight-grade pills, and it is not difficult to refine, but its effect is extremely biased, it is used to replenish Yin Soul, and it is not suitable for human beings.
What does she want this elixir for?
Ye Xuan faintly doubted and said, "No problem, it will take about a day!" ”
"Trouble Mr. Ye! Xiaomin, take Mr. Ye to the pharmacy, and settle the students, without the slightest neglect! ”
Led by the woman, Ye Xuan walked out of the living room, the yard was empty, the ground was covered with a layer of dead leaves, and no one cleaned it.
Xiao Min and the previous housekeeper seemed to be printed out of the same mold, with expressionless faces, Ye Xuan tried to talk, but repeatedly hit a wall.
If it weren't for her breathing and body temperature, Ye Xuan would have thought she was a dead person.
The two eventually came to a separate room with a half-human-high medicine cabinet with countless medicinal herbs.
Ye Xuan's eyes lit up, and he ran to check, and Xiao Min, who was standing at the door, suddenly spoke: "Mr. Ye is at ease to refine medicine here, if you have any orders, just pull the doorbell!" ”
She bowed slightly and exited the room, Ye Xuan looked at her back thoughtfully.
Since entering here, there is weirdness everywhere, not to mention the housekeeper and Xiao Min, and that Liu Wan, who has not shown up during the whole process, which is even more weird.
"No matter! After refining the pill, I will leave, there are enough medicinal materials here, in addition to the Yin Replenishing Pill, I can also refine other pills, which will be the cost of this alchemy! ”
Ye Xuan waved his hand, the medicine cabinet automatically opened, and the herbs in it were suspended in the air, he sat cross-legged and began to refine it.
The sky was getting dark, and in the evening, someone brought food, but Ye Xuan ignored it and focused on alchemy.
Until a scream resounded through the night sky, and then abruptly stopped, appearing very abrupt in the night.
"It's really restless!"
Ye Xuan put away the pill and got up to go out to have a look.
However, as soon as he opened the door, he found the old butler standing guard in the courtyard, his face like the bark of a tree looking very gloomy in the night.
"Mr. Ye, is there something wrong?"
"What's the sound?"
"There is no sound, Mr. Ye heard it wrong!"
The old housekeeper's expression was stiff, and his eyes were glowing: "The night is heavy, Mr. Ye should go back to the room!" ”
Ye Xuan rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "I want to go to the toilet!" ”
The old butler looked at him scrutinically, and then said, "Please follow me!" ”
The garden was silent, and the swaying branches of the trees were fangs and claws in the pale blue moonlight.
Ye Xuan followed the old butler across a stone bridge and found that there was a faint light flashing on the left, while the rest of the place was pitch black.
"What's that?" He asked.
"Guest room!"
The old housekeeper cherished the words like gold, and stretched out his hand to point forward: "Mr. Ye, inside is the toilet!" ”
"Oh, thank you!"
Ye Xuan smiled: "You can rest!" ”
Before the old housekeeper could react, Ye Xuan suddenly reached out to knock him unconscious and helped him to the ground.
"I'd like to see, what's going on?"
His figure flashed, performing ghostly steps, and the whole person became a shadow, blending with the night.
He sneaked straight to the guest room, and soon came to the periphery to look around.
It was a small courtyard, the room was brightly lit, a man was tied hand and foot, gagged, struggled to the ground, and next to him stood two black-robed people, showing no gap.
The black-robed man on the left looked like a leader, and his voice was shrivelled: "What about the other person?" ”
"The Black Snake has gone after it!"
"Rubbish! Even two mortals can't stand it! ”
The black robe was surging, and she said coldly: "If the person runs away, I will see how you explain to the young lady!" ”
The other man's body trembled, and he bowed his head and did not dare to speak.
"Got it back!"
A man was thrown in, and the black snake said, "This guy ran very fast, and he almost got out of the valley!" ”
"Did you alarm the others?"
"I do things, don't worry!" Black Snake replied lazily.
The man, who had almost escaped, asked in horror, "Who are you?" Why are you arresting me? ”
The leader walked up to him, leaned over and said, "Half a month ago, there was a robbery in the city, resulting in three deaths and two injuries, did you do it?" ”
The man's pupils shrank, and he retreated in panic: "How do you know?" ”
"I know more than you think!"
The leader said coldly: "You two are carrying human lives on your back, so it is perfect to use them as sacrifices!" ”
"Sacrifices? What sacrifice?
The leader did not answer, but turned and walked out of the room: "Take them to the young lady!" ”
The man struggled desperately, but the black snake grabbed the back of the neck with one hand and dragged him out of the room like a dead dog.
"Miss? Could it be Liu Wan? ”
Ye Xuan quietly followed, bypassing several gardens and coming to the small wooden building.
He jumped up, climbed lightly up to the second floor, and got into a ventilation window, and the whole person was prostrate on the wooden beam.
Looking down from here, the room is clear at a glance.
The huge screen still stood in the room, which was a bedroom, and on the bed sat a woman whose face was indistinct, and she was covered in a black mist, which looked very strange.
"Why are there only two?"
Her voice was soft, exactly the same as what Ye Xuan had heard before, it was obviously Liu Wan!
The black-robed leader bowed down and said, "Miss, after the previous search, there are fewer and fewer people who are eligible, and you have explained that you can't arrest ordinary people, otherwise you will be in trouble if you attract the attention of the police!" ”
Liu Wan seemed to be a little unhappy, and then sighed: "That's it! After the Yin Pill is practiced, I will resume my cultivation, and I will no longer have to hide here and shrink my hands and feet! ”
The two men on the ground were already frightened by their conversation, one of them whimpering and struggling, and the other looking dull.
"As for you!"
Liu Wan's tone was even softer: "Be my food!" ”
She suddenly turned into a black mist, like a predatory cheetah, whistling and enveloping the two of them, and from the black mist came the click of gnawing bones, and the terrible screams of men.
The black mist surged, the screams gradually died down, and in just a few seconds, the two men had turned into a pile of dry bones.
"Ghost Repair!"
Ye Xuan, who was on the beam, saw this scene, and his pupils shrank.
