Chapter 22: Master

The last stick of incense passed away, and a wisp of green smoke wafted out. This book is speeding up to update the address t.cn/RzSvXvv Gan Jiu was very nervous, slowly scooped up the last scoop of water with a water scoop, and slowly poured it on the Yangcheng can. Zhao Leper stopped the bellows, and the three of us stared intently at the alchemy device.

It took a long time for Zhao Leprosy to speak: "Did you succeed?" ”

Gan Jiu wiped his face heavily, took a few deep breaths, frowned and said, "It's not quite like ...... But all this kind of high-grade Dan has a vision after it is made into a furnace, and now there is no reaction at all. ”

To be honest, if it really fails, we are more disappointed than him. Gan Jiu doesn't care, just stand up in this deep mountain, when will it be refined, several of us have families, businesses and lives, who can accompany him to work here. When I think of the failure of the furnace, I have to stay like this for another seven days, and my head is three times bigger.

I think, I can't support it, if I do it again, it's better to resist Gan Jiu to the end, even if I die, it's better than living and suffering like this.

At this time, there was a sudden burst of strange noises in the silent alchemy room, which came from the clay pot. If you listen carefully, it looks like someone is whispering. Zhao Lean and I looked at each other, all of them were shocked, there were strange sounds in the clay pot continuously, and we all had a very strong illusion that Da Gang was not dead, he was trapped in it and wanted to come out.

"Hell, huh?" It took a long time for Zhao Leer to hold back such a sentence.

Gan Jiu sneered: "Even if it's a real ghost, I'll still accept it." If it doesn't work out, you have to open the furnace to see. ”

I hurriedly said: "Brother Jiu, is there no record in the ancient books of what phenomenon will happen when this kind of pill becomes a pill?" ”

Gan Jiu shook his head: "The secret recipe for recording this elixir is incomplete, and it is easy to say in the front, but there is not a single word in the back." Whether it succeeds or not, this first furnace has been refined, and I want to see it. ”

He walked over, held the Yangcheng jar with both hands, took a deep breath, and carefully pulled it out of Chen Daochang's neck. These days, Gan Jiu also told us some common sense of alchemy, if the Nine Turns Seven Immortal Pill is successfully refined, it will condense fine sand-like sticky matter at the bottom of this jar. The kind of round pills were all rubbed out later. Saying that when the furnace is opened, there are a bunch of ready-made pills in a circle, and this unprofessional statement can only deceive laymen.

Gan Jiu opened the jar upward, picked up the bamboo chopsticks and stretched them in, Zhao Lein and I stretched our necks to watch, and after digging for a long time, he took out the chopsticks, and the chopsticks did have some black sticky stuff stuck to the head, and I don't know what it was. He continued to scrape down with chopsticks, scraping some off and wiping them in the palm of his hand, accumulating more and more after a while, and then he rubbed it lightly, and it became a boiling black elixir.

I asked, "Is this a success?" ”

Gan Jiu was also very confused, he scraped and rubbed, did not speak, and hesitated for a long time: "Not quite like." Ancient books record that the nine turns of the seven elixirs are translucent in black, and the color is slightly dark red and glowing. This thing is black, neither bright nor red, and it looks a little weird. ”

He scraped the black slime at the bottom of the jar clean, and only rubbed out the pill the size of a small fingernail. I saw at first glance that there was so much firewood and medicinal materials, and there was another person's life in it, and it took so much effort to condense such a small pill in the end.

Gan Jiu pinched it with his fingers, walked to the fire, turned it over and looked carefully, the more he looked at it, the more confused he became, obviously even he couldn't bite whether it would succeed or not.

He looked up and looked at us. Zhao Leyi and I were nervous at the same time, knowing that something bad was going to happen. This Gan Jiu obviously couldn't be sure whether this thing was the Nine Turns Seven Immortal Pill or not, he looked at us very unkindly, and it was very likely that he wanted one of us to try it.

I won't eat this thing if it kills, it condenses Dagang's body and soul, and filters it in the stomach of Chen Daochang, a dead ghost, who knows if it's poisonous. Even if it's not poisonous, I won't eat it, it's disgusting.

Gan Jiu pinched the pill and walked over, squatting in front of us, he didn't speak, just looked at me left and Zhao Le, right. Both of our hearts were in our throats, and I was so nervous that my hairs stood on end, and I didn't dare to breathe.

Gan Jiuwei smiled: "What are you afraid of?" Afraid I'll let you eat this? Don't worry, how can I be willing to give you the elixir that I have worked so hard to refine. ”

He pinched the pill and looked at it, opened his mouth and swallowed it, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it into his stomach. Zhao Leo and I stared at him tightly, and for a long time Zhao Lein asked, "Brother Jiu, how do you feel?" ”

Gan Jiu smiled: "It's a little dizzy, it's good, I feel that the blood in my body is boiling." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a chuckle suddenly came from the clay pot. Our nerves were already tense, and the sudden laughter almost scared me to death.

We looked at the clay pot together, and the laughter was very soft, low and deep, and it was impossible to distinguish between men and women. It sounds a little like a whimper, which makes people feel goosebumps.

Gan Jiu sneered: "Pretend to be a ghost." Help me remove all these things, I want to see what it really is. ”

We dismantled the iron shelf, and Chen Daochang's body was taken down, and the lid of the clay pot was underneath. Gan Jiu grabbed the double ring and lifted it up, and Zhao Lein and I were leaning our heads together to look in. Who knew that at this moment, an unpredictable scene appeared.

The moment the lid was opened, the clay pot suddenly exploded without warning, with a crisp "boom", a flash, and countless black dust sprayed out, drenching the three of us all over our faces.

The scale of the explosion was not large, which was equivalent to the equivalent of several large firecrackers, but the inexplicable flash of light was so terrible that it directly blinded my eyes instantly. The next second I couldn't see anything, my eyes were full of black particles, and I kept crying, and I fell to the ground, sore, and I couldn't open my eyes.

In this darkness, I suddenly heard the door of the alchemy room ring, and then there was the sound of footsteps, and as I got closer and closer, someone walked in. Here, apart from the three of us, there is only Brother Dong. Is that him? I subconsciously moved back on the ground, and this feeling of not being able to see was so insecure that I subconsciously wanted to retreat to a safe place.

In this short period of time, my mind is full of thoughts, Brother Dong is really a master, he usually pretends to be crazy and stupid and waits for the opportunity, he can really bear it, and now the opportunity has finally come. The small explosion just now should make all three of us blind for a short time, and even if Gan Jiu is powerful, the impact will not be small. Now is a good time to start.

I rubbed my eyes, still couldn't see anything, and suddenly heard Gan Jiu ask, "Who?" His voice was filled with horror.

Immediately afterwards, there was a whisper from a stranger, who should be talking to Gan Jiu. Judging from this voice, the person who came was not Brother Dong. Oh my God, there are outsiders here!

Gan Jiu's voice trembled, his teeth rattled, and he struggled to spit out two words from his mouth: "Master...... Father! ”

I was shocked that this person who came was actually Gan Jiu's master! Legend has it that Mr. Zhonghe's chief advisor, the master of the cult who refines the incense of the other side.

Oh my mother, it's really unlucky, it's unlucky to go back to dinner, and it's unlucky to get home. A Gan Jiu already belongs to the little invincible Cun ZΓ i for us, and now that his master has appeared again, we are not good.

The stranger whispered a few more words to Gan Jiu, and Gan Jiu's voice was sad: "Master, save me!" Master, for the sake of my apprentice who has been following you for the past few years, save me. ”

The stranger didn't whisper this time, and said in a voice that we could hear: "Xiao Jiu, no one harmed you, right?" This qiΔ“ cause and effect is caused by you. If you are not selfish, deviate from your teacher, and alchemy privately, you will not accept this ghost pill, and it will be better to die in the future. This is your destiny. ”

Gan Jiu howled and cried, like a child, I was really stunned, Gan Jiu was such a strong character, and he was so weak in front of his master. And the strangest thing is that this master is not old when he hears his voice, like a young man.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and the man came over, and I felt a warm hand touch my hair, dusting off some of my face for me. I flinched: "Who?" ”

The man sighed softly and walked away, and when he heard footsteps reach the courtyard, then the well sounds, and he fetches a bucket of water. He walked in again, picked me up, picked up Zhao Le, and carried the two of us to the courtyard.

"Wash your face." The man's voice was warm, very demagogic, he didn't hear any evil at all, and he spoke like a neighbor's big brother.

Zhao Leyi and I squatted down with each other, reached out with both hands to touch the bucket, took out clean water, and washed our faces. At this time, the man walked into the alchemy room and said to Gan Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, you are too naΓ―ve, and you haven't grown up with me in the past few years. How could the Nine Turns Seven Immortal Pill, a superb elixir that has turned people into immortals, be refined by you half-assers? Not to mention the medicinal materials and fine portions, the airtightness and accurate grasp of the heat of the furnace alone require a Danke with at least ten years of alchemy skills to operate. You draw a scoop according to the gourd, thinking that you are extremely smart, but in the end you still pit yourself. "There is famous blood in the pit.

Gan Jiu cried so hard that he couldn't cry: "Master, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I will serve you well in the future, listen to you, save me." ”

The man sighed and did not speak.

At this time, Zhao Leo and I washed our faces, and our eyes barely opened a slit, vague and a little lighty. I saw that Zhao Le's face was red and swollen like a pig's head, and Zhao Leper was also looking at me, and I couldn't get any better.

Zhao Lu whispered: "Daozi, do you hear it, Gan Jiu's master is here." ”

"So what?" I asked.

"I want to worship him as a teacher!"
