Chapter 65: The Price of Time

Li You sat at the table and fell into deep thought.

Why?

Li You inquired about the doctor who treated Wang Lang, heard Wang Lang's painful groans, and also saw the panic of the guards.

Based on the above situation, Li You believes that Wang Lang is not pretending to be sick.

However, when he was sick at this juncture, the time just dragged on the 22nd, coupled with Wang Lang's previous world-wide performance, Li You felt that Wang Lang's illness was by no means as simple as it seemed.

But why?

The information available is too limited.

Li You once again sincerely felt this problem and brought great trouble to himself.

Never mind!

Since you can't crack it, let's take the initiative first.

Tomorrow is the day when the goods will arrive at the port, let's go deep into the scene and see what kind of goods are after all, so that the Linghu family can pay so much attention to it.

………

Wei Miao'er put the medicinal herbs into the mortar, and after grinding, she added an appropriate amount of water and kneaded them into pills the size of peanuts. After that, the pill was wrapped in yellow paper and placed in a porcelain bottle.

"Mo Xing, take three pills of this medicine each time, once a day. So, you have to take a risk every day. "Wei Miao'er is worried." If it wasn't a last resort, I really didn't want to drag you down. ”

"For the sake of Sister Miao'er, I'm not afraid of anything!" Mo Xing looks like a little man.

"Thank you." Wei Miaoer was really a little emotional. If there is no ink line, he will only be a lamb to be slaughtered, and there is no possibility of escape. When Sun Kui refined the elixir, he would naturally be killed by him. "Now my sister doesn't know the state of the long tongue, but according to Sun Kui's words, he should still have some reason now."

"You take your sister's hairpin. He often watches his sister dispense medicine behind his back, and he is very familiar with this hairpin. Although Wei Miaoer said this, she was also unsure in her heart, but she really had no other choice. When approaching him, be careful! ”

Mo Xing took the porcelain bottle and put it in his arms, and held the hairpin in his hand. "Sister, rest assured, I promise to complete the task!"

Mo Xing walked out of the room and swaggered towards Sun Kui's room.

Since the last time they met, Sun Kui has not shown up for more than 20 days, and Mo Xing's courage has become bigger and bigger.

It was inevitable to meet a few boys along the way, but when he saw Mo Xing, he still stood on both sides immediately, and no one dared to look at him. Mo Xing would tease them a few times from time to time, but it was just to cover up.

All of these boys had wooden expressions, like sheep, and had the virtue of being slaughtered. Originally, Mo Xing would use them for entertainment when he was idle and bored, but now that he is burdened with heavy responsibilities, he naturally loses interest in them.

About ten minutes later, Mo Xing came to the vicinity of Sun Kui's room.

At the door of the room stood two gray monsters, looking around with a fierce look, looking dutiful.

Mo Xing hid around the corner, peeking at the two monsters, looking for an opportunity to enter the entrance of the formation.

Mo Xing was about fifty meters away from the entrance, but the two monsters kept looking left and right, not giving Mo Xing any chance at all.

Mo Xing didn't have a chance to wait left and right, and when he was so anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, and Mo Xing hurriedly looked back.

More than ten meters behind Mo Xing, five boys with medicine baskets were walking towards this side, and after Mo Xing saw it, he immediately had an idea.

"What are you going to do?" Mo Xing glared at the five boys.

"Ahh Master Mo Xing! ”

When the five of them saw Mo Xing, they immediately stood in place.

"I said, what are you going to do?"

"Go to the furnace and deliver the medicine."

"Oh?" Mo Xing circled around the five boys. "Delivering medicine? What kind of medicine to give? ”

"I don't know." The two boys shook their heads.

"Don't know?"

"Master, let's not ask more."

"Do you want to deliver it every day?"

"Hmm."

That's great! Mo Xing was secretly happy, but did not show it on the surface. "Is that the time of day?"

"Hmm."

"Good, good!" Mo Xing put his hands behind his back and nodded. "You guys, line me up."

Several boys obediently lined up.

"Let me go! Walk in a line! Whoever goes wrong, I won't spare him! ”

The boy walked forward honestly, and no one dared to have any doubts. Mo Xing followed behind the last boy, keeping in line with the group, avoiding revealing his body as much as possible.

A group turned the corner and headed for the monsters.

When the two monsters heard the sound, they turned their heads to look at it, and when they saw that it was the boy who usually delivered medicine, they immediately relaxed their vigilance.

Mo Xing stared at the entrance of the formation, his heart hanging in his throat. When he reached the entrance of the formation, he jumped into it and finally entered the hall. At this time, five pairs of boys also entered the hall and entered the leftmost passage.

Mo Xing peeked at the two monsters at the door, and when he was sure that the two of them turned their heads to look ahead, he tiptoed to the hall where the long tongue was.

After entering the passage, Mo Xing breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his nervousness, and walked quickly towards the hall.

Coming to the corner in front of the hall, Mo Xing stretched out his head to look inside.

The iron railing was twisted a lot more than the last time, and his long tongue was getting bigger again, and he was curled up on the ground, squinting, not knowing what he was thinking. There were traces of liquid medicine on the ground, but they had dried up, and it was obvious that they were not left in the past few days.

From this point of view, Sun Kui has not been here to torture him for a few days.

Is it already done? Or is it time to deal with something more important?

Mo Xing didn't bother to think about it, walked out of the corner, and approached the long tongue step by step.

Based on last experience, this long tongue can't come out, but it squirts venom. And Venom is very domineering, he will die if he touches it, Mo Xing doesn't want to die here.

Mo Xing was cautious, one step at a time, but the long tongue seemed to be asleep, and he didn't even blink his eyelids.

Didn't he see himself?

Mo Xing walked forward with doubts, getting closer and closer to the long tongue.

Just as Mo Xing was about to approach the railing, the long tongue suddenly raised his head and sprayed a mouthful of venom at Mo Xing, who hurriedly rolled over and narrowly avoided this mouthful.

However, the long tongue had already stood up, and its neck had become thicker, apparently accumulating another mouthful of venom.

"Stop! Sister Miao'er sent me! Mo Xing hurriedly stretched out the hairpin in his hand.

When the long tongue saw this hairpin, his originally wide mouth immediately closed, tilted his head and stared at the hairpin, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

OK! It's finally time to catch up!

"You've got a long tongue, right? It was Sister Miao'er who asked me to save you! Mo Xing announced loudly again.

The long tongue was still tilting its head, staring blankly at the hairpin.

"Sister Miao'er! Wei Miaoer! ”

"Wei Miao'er?"

Hearing these three words, the long tongue immediately began to look left and right, and a complex expression appeared on his face that only humans have.

Mo Xing's hanging heart finally let go. "I'm a friend of Sister Miao'er."

Ahh

The long tongue let out a howl, but it was not an angry roar, but a mixed emotion. Long Tongue finally did not forget his only friend - Wei Miaoer.

"It's good you haven't forgotten her. Otherwise, I don't know how to save you. Ink walked to the edge of the railing and looked through the railing at the long tongue. Look at it again, this is Sister Miao'er's hairpin. ”

The long tongue approached the railing, stared at the hairpin for a while, and finally nodded at the ink line.

Mo Xing put away the hairpin and took out the porcelain bottle from his arms. "This is the medicine that Sister Miao'er has prepared for you, and you have to take three pills a day to ensure that you don't become a beast."

Mo Xing poured out three pills and stretched them out in front of his long tongue.

The long tongue stared at Mo Xing, revealing a suspicious expression.

"Hurry up, am I risking so much to lie to you?" Mo Xing was not happy. "You've also seen the hairpin, don't you believe me?"

The long tongue was snatched white by Mo Xing, and he hurriedly stretched out his tongue and rolled the medicine into his mouth.

After a moment, the long tongue squeezed out a smile at Mo Xing.

"Hehe, I didn't lie to you." Mo Xing saw this huge monster smiling at him, and his mood immediately improved a lot. "I have to feed you every day, and when you finish this pill, you should be able to recover."

"When the time comes, I will find a way to let you out, you have to hurry up and find Brother Li You and ask him to bring someone to save Sister Miao'er. Do you understand? ”

Ahh

The long tongue nodded at Mo Xing.

"That's good! Hehe. Mo Xing reached out and touched the huge head of the long tongue, and the long tongue rubbed his hand with enjoyment.

"I really like you." Mo Xing smiled and blossomed. "When we get out, let's be good friends, okay?"

Ahh

The long tongue nodded repeatedly.

"My name is Mo Xing, it's a pleasure to meet you."

………

Mo Xing reluctantly left the hall where Long Tongue was, and walked quickly to the entrance, and when he stretched out his head to look out, the five boys on the opposite side were walking out of the aisle.

Looking at their frightened looks, Mo Xing suddenly had a hint of impulse.

What's on the other side?

Curiosity kills cats!

Taking advantage of the monster at the door, Mo Xing quietly slipped into the opposite passage.

This passage is relatively narrow, basically only one person can walk through, and it is obviously a lot darker, but this also gives Mo Xing some sense of security.

Sneaking in the dark makes people feel psychologically undetected.

The passage was rugged and long, and the further you went, the wetter the ground became, and the higher the temperature, and when you reached the deepest place, Mo Xing was already sweating.

Is this where the boys say the furnace is?

Mo Xing walked and pondered to himself.

After walking for more than twenty minutes, there was finally a bright light ahead.

It's here!

The cat craned up, leaned against the wall, and looked in cautiously.

In front of the passage is a huge cavern. The cave was smoky and steaming, and dozens of porcelain jars could be faintly seen. In the middle of the cave stands a furnace, which is connected to a porcelain jar by dozens of copper pipes. The furnace was blazing and steaming.

Sun Kui stood in front of the furnace, with a few boys standing beside him.

Sun Kui kept adjusting the temperature of the furnace, adding something to the furnace from time to time.

No wonder I couldn't see Sun Kui during this time, he was guarding the alchemy furnace. It seems that this elixir has reached the most critical moment.

Mo Xing didn't understand alchemy, but driven by curiosity, he still wanted to take a look. So, he crawled on the ground, with both hands and feet, and crawled little by little to the nearest porcelain jar.

The nearest porcelain jar was less than ten meters away from Mo Xing, but in order not to be discovered, he stopped after climbing a step, and it took him nearly three minutes to come to the porcelain jar.

Mo Xing beat a drum in his heart, but remembering that Sun Kui was so cautious, he knew that the things he refined were definitely extraordinary, and the raw materials he used were definitely different.

What exactly?

Mo Xing slowly straightened up and looked into the porcelain jar.

"Ahh

Mo Xing let out a low cry, an expression of extreme shock and horror on his face.

"Who!"

Sun Kui turned his head to look in the direction where Mo Xing was, and his eyes shone red.
