Volume 3 Water City Chapter 249 Wang Huozi

The soul of foreign objects, although its own energy is huge, has always been attached to mundane things for many years, accumulating over the years, and those who are close to ink are black, the essence is not pure, and there are many impurities.

Therefore, when Zhou Nian absorbed the souls of these foreign objects, he first built a funnel-shaped screen at the guide mouth of his own soul power, carefully filtered the soul power of foreign objects, and skimmed off impurities, so that he could dissolve in his own soul power and achieve the final fit.

His brows were furrowed, Zhou Nian's process of absorbing and refining his soul power was very slow, and beads of sweat the size of beans slipped down his forehead, soaking his clothes, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, it was already two hours......

"Hoo ......"

After spitting out the turbid stuffiness in his chest, Zhou Nian slowly opened his eyes and stood up from the ground with one hand, an obvious ecstasy emerged on his little face, and his soul power was enhanced like never before!

"Tsk, the soul power on these two things is really full, with my current strength and the supply of soul power, I am afraid that refining the seventh-grade high-grade elixir will not be a problem. ”

With a sigh of emotion, Zhou Nian forcibly restrained the excitement in his heart, and his gaze slowly shifted, sweeping directly to the jade pendant and bracelet in front of him.

"Whew!"

Suddenly, there was a sudden and obvious drastic change on the two ornaments!

Without the support of soul power, the blue bracelet and the white jade pendant naturally became ordinary mundane things, and the light on them was eclipsed, and when it was young, it quickly turned black, the jade ornament corroded, and the fragments fell off, obviously they could no longer be used.

"Smack!"

With two crisp sounds, the blue bracelet and the white jade pendant exploded into two balls of powder in an instant!

And Zhou Nian is not surprised, the soul of foreign objects is like this, if the soul power attached to it is withdrawn, the jade ornament will naturally die with the incense.

Raising his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, Zhou Nian patted the bag and took out the three-legged golden toad, and then he was ready to refine the six-grade pure yang pill for Miss Xiao.

In the room, the young man laid out the medicinal materials used in alchemy one by one, sacrificed the Danhuo to concentrate his energy, and began to refine the pill in an orderly manner.

Just when Zhou Nian was familiar with the road and began to refine the pill, in another room, big things were also quietly approaching.

Xiao family, inner hall!

"Smack!"

There was a quick knock on the door, someone knocked on the door outside the inner hall, and when he heard the sound, he knew that it was the chief housekeeper of the Xiao family-Xiao Yuandao.

"Old lady, it's not good! Something happened in the back mountain!"

Xiao Yuandao stood at the door of the inner hall with a anxious face, the clothes on his body were already wet with sweat, his hair was wet, and his neck was sweating, obviously trotting all the way over.

"Crunch", it was Xiao Changsheng, the patriarch of the Xiao family, who opened the door, and before the housekeeper Daoming passed by, he reached out and dragged him in, and then closed the door.

"Come on, what's going on in the back mountain!" Xiao Changsheng's two old eyes were as big as a bull's eye, except for the old dragon locked in the back mountain, the Xiao family's ancestral hall, which of the two had an accident enough for this old man to be anxious.

Xiao Yuandao gasped and said, "That old dragon, it's ...... It'......"

"What's wrong with it?"

"It ran away!"

"What!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Changsheng directly collapsed on the stool!

Xiao Su beside him frowned, saying that it was fake if he was not in a hurry, but he couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, "Steward Xiao, this joke can't be made casually, you said that the old dragon ran away, what evidence is there?"

Xiao Yuandao swallowed his saliva and said, "Hey, master, do I dare to joke with you about this kind of thing? That old dragon did run away, I saw it with my own eyes!"

"See it with your own eyes?" Xiao Su's heart suddenly chuckled, "When is it?"

"Just now, I saw it with my own eyes. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"Yes!" Xiao Yuandao hurriedly clenched his fists and nodded, and trotted over all the way as if his mouth was a little dry, and he couldn't care about any dignity and etiquette at this time, so he picked up a cup of tea on the table and drank it all.

"Gooo......"

After drinking the tea, Xiao Yuandao's mouth was also a lot sharper, and he said seriously, "Master, old lady, I was in the yard to urge the guys to work, and when I was about to finish work, I heard a deafening thunder suddenly sounding in the back mountain, and when I ran over to check, what I saw was dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and a huge black dragon flew over in the black clouds. I thought that the stakes were high, so I hurried back to report it. ”

"Is this serious?" Xiao Changsheng suddenly bounced up from his seat, as if he didn't believe it.

Xiao Yuandao said with a depressed face, "Hey, old lady, how dare I deceive you? That thunder is not only me, even the guys have heard it, but I didn't let them go with me to check, and I was afraid that they would leak the news, otherwise, let's go to Fulong Cave now?"

"Let's go, let's go!" Xiao Changsheng urged, and after speaking, he pushed the door and rushed out of the inner hall.

Xiao Su and Xiao Yuandao behind him also followed closely behind, anxious like two monkeys.

Soon, the mountain behind the Xiao family, outside the Fulong Cave!

Looking at the closed stone door in front of him, Xiao Changsheng frowned, and wanted to rush in, but he couldn't help it, he wandered around the entrance of the cave in a hurry, and his old face was suffocated.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Su suddenly spoke, "Dad, the matter has come to this point, I think it's better to smash this cave door open according to my previous method!"

"This ......"

"Oh Dad, when has this been, do you still have the heart to take care of the ancestral hall?" Xiao Su was so anxious that even his father complained.

Xiao Yuandao, who was on the side, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and suddenly interjected, "Master, old lady, I have a way not to hurt the ancestral hall, but also to let us enter the cave." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Changsheng's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of brilliance, "Tell me quickly." ”

"Yes. Xiao Yuandao hugged his fists, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the cave door in front of him, and said, "Master, old lady, the door of this Fulong Cave is indestructible, if it is forcibly broken by external force, it will implicate the entire back mountain, not to mention, we may not be able to hurt it in the slightest, since it is so strong, why don't we start from a softer place?"

"What do you mean?"

"Old lady, please see, although this stone gate is thick, but the mountain wall next to it is relatively soft, in this case, we can find some skilled craftsmen to come and dig a small hole in the mountain wall next to the stone gate, so that it will not alarm the ancestral hall on the top of the mountain, and let us in." ”

"Oh, this method is good!" Xiao Su patted his thigh when he heard this, obviously in favor, and then turned his head to look at Xiao Changsheng, "Dad, what do you think?"

Xiao Changsheng hesitated, it happened suddenly, and he had no better way, so he had to compromise and said, "That's ...... Alright!"

"Then I'll arrange it now?" Xiao Yuandao volunteered.

"Go ahead!"

"Yes!" With the approval of the patriarch, Xiao Yuandao hurriedly hugged his fists, turned around and went down the mountain, and began to dispatch the skilled craftsmen of the Xiao family.

When this Fulong Cave was first established, it was built by a group of skilled craftsmen in the City of Water, and this group of people was not low, and they also participated in the construction of the Linglong Octagonal Pavilion, the residence of Lord Blood Cicada, and the person at the head was surnamed Wang, and his birth name was Wang Ban, and his nickname was Wang Huozi, why was he called so? Because he was a little disabled, the corners of his mouth were open, and two large gaps were opened.

Wang Huozi's skills are good, but he looks a little stumbling, in addition to the Huozi on his mouth, his face is covered with large and small pockmarks, and he barely looks like a person from a distance, if he looks at it closely, he probably can't eat.

About thirty minutes later, the skilled craftsmen led by Wang Huozi gathered outside the Fulong Cave.

"See Old Lady Xiao!" hugged his fist towards Xiao Changsheng, and Wang Huozi greeted him respectfully.

Xiao Changsheng had something in his heart, and returned the salute perfunctorily, and then ran to the topic, "Mr. Wang is polite, please come over today, our Xiao family has indeed encountered difficulties, have you seen the mountain wall in front of you?" This time, the task is to ask you to dig a small hole next to the stone gate as soon as possible, so that our Xiao family can enter, and I will be rewarded for doing a good job, if you don't do a good job, I have to say ugly things in front, this mountain wall is connected to the ancestral hall of our Xiao family's ancestors, you dig it or smash it, don't shake the soil on the top of the mountain, if it alarms my Xiao family's ancestors, don't blame the old man for turning his face and not recognizing people!"

The rewards and punishments are clear, and Xiao Changsheng's meaning is also concise and to the point.

Wang Huozi looked at the mountain wall in front of him, he knew the mountain situation here well when it was first established, and now he is going to start construction, so he is naturally very sure.

patting his chest, Wang Huozi said with a package ticket, "Old lady Xiao, please rest assured, this matter is handed over to my Wang family engineering team, you can put your heart in your stomach, you just eat tea, after three bowls of tea, the old lady can come to accept it in person." ”

"Okay, happy!" Xiao Changsheng stretched out his thumb with a look of praise, and then beckoned Xiao Yuandao, who was not far away, to come over, and ordered, "Butler, you go and arrange a few more guards to come over, and let Mr. Wang dispatch them." ”

"Yes!"

"That, old lady, don't worry, I have enough manpower, and too much is a burden. ”

"Oh, that's it, but the old man thinks about it a lot, so Mr. Wang, please hurry up. ”

"Offended. ”

After speaking, Wang Huozi stepped forward and shouted to the guys below, "Brothers, now that Old Lady Xiao looks up to us, hand over such a good errand to our Wang family engineering team, you all have to give me a little vigilance, and the two blindfolds will brighten up for me, if anyone is caught by me to be lazy or secretly deserted, my leather whip will not be forgiven!"

"Smack!"

After speaking, he took out the leather whip on his waist and whipped it on the ground, and commanded with a pout, "Start work!"

"Yes!"

The guys below clenched their fists one after another, and Xu Shi didn't understand the power of Wang Huozi's leather whip on weekdays, and he was not even vague, and he hurriedly got alive.

"Jingle Bell...... Jingle ......"

The sound of chiseling the mountain gradually sounded.

The group of people led by Wang Huozi is worthy of being the most famous skilled craftsmen in the City of Water, the guys are both quick and careful, Xiao Yuandao has just made the first bowl of water with a teapot, and a big hole half a meter deep has been dug out of the mountain wall.

At this rate, you don't need to drink the third bowl of water, and when you drink the second bowl of water, it is estimated that the Fulong Cave will be dug up by them.
