Xu Changqing then settled down by the grass house.

He went up to the mountain every day to fetch firewood, make charcoal, and supply the old Taoist priest with the alchemy needs, and gradually became familiar with Qingfeng and Mingyue.

Knowing that they are all orphans, they have been adopted by the old Taoist priest since childhood, the male is called Qingfeng, and the female is called Mingyue.

After eating his snacks, he would call his brother very sweetly, which reminded Xu Changqing of the innocent faces of the children in Xiaozhai Village.

The strange thing is that after the old man arrived here, he basically didn't say a word, but only allowed him to eat the food provided by the two Taoist boys.

In this way, half a month of kung fu passed in a trance.

In the meantime, he has a few more 'companions'!

A scholar in a green shirt, a young Taoist with inverted triangular eyes, and a girl in red.

They also seem to have come to visit the Tao from immortals, and they were all accepted as coolies by the old Taoist priests, and the girl 'Red Baby' among them seemed to come prepared, bringing a few very cherished medicinal materials.

One of the yellow essences in the shape of a human face, when it was put into the furnace, Xu Changqing seemed to hear a choking sound.

In any case, the arrival of these three people finally freed him from heavy labor, and the progress of the old alchemy was accelerated.

While the other party was delighted, he would occasionally entrench himself in the mountains and rocks and start to preach the 'Tao'!

Although some of the words are incoherent, garbled, and vague...... It seems delirious, but sometimes, it does tell some real things.

The old man asked him to listen to the lectures often, saying that although there was no 'method', it was good for 'entering the Tao'.

After persisting for a few days, he even sorted out a few talismans for nurturing and prolonging life, taking demons and detaining ghosts, which made Xu Changqing feel that the trip was worthwhile.

……

On this day, Xu Changqing piled up the chopped firewood, and when he saw the red dress flashing next to him, he heard a silver bell-like laugh in his ears: "Hehe......hee"

"Red Baby Girl." He saluted slightly, "The firewood is here today." ”

"Uh-huh......"

Hongying casually swept across the pyre and looked at Xu Changqing: "Which family are you from?" How did it come so early? ”

"Which one?" Xu Changqing was stunned: "It's not from any family, but I heard that there are hidden cultivators in this mountain, and I came to visit." ”

"Oh......"

The red baby agreed meaningfully: "No wonder...... Your name is Xu Changqing? I'll call you Xiaoqingzi from now on...... Don't die so easily. ”

"What? Die? ”

Xu Changqing was stunned, but saw the red baby head and left without looking back.

He touched his head: "Grandpa, what's going on?" ”

"That girl doll is not simple...... She should be a true practitioner who sees that you have a Dharma weapon and comes to tempt you......"

Sulu replied.

"Temptation? Temptation of what? ”

"I don't know, in short, for the sake of seekers, you have to take risks! You can improvise. ”

……

In the blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.

"Oops......"

The old Taoist priest stared at the Dan furnace in front of him, his face was ugly: "There is still a lack of medicine, a main medicine." If this medicine is lost, it will be a failure! ”

Xu Changqing, the scholar, the young Taoist, and the red baby were all there, and asked, "What kind of medicinal material is it?" Let's look for it, there's always one! ”

"There is a lack of 'human medicine'!"

The old Taoist priest shook his head and said, "I can only find this medicine, so you can go down." ”

He was clearly in no mood to preach.

The four of them looked at each other and could only retreat.

On the second day, Xu Changqing came to the Dan furnace with charcoal, and was stunned to see the old Taoist priest dancing in front of the Dan furnace: "The human medicine has arrived, and my way has been completed!" ”

"Congratulations to the Daoist, congratulations to the Daoist."

His nose moved, and he did smell a plausible medicinal fragrance, fragrant and sweet, and couldn't help but congratulate him.

"Don't worry, this furnace is a success, and everyone has a share."

The old Taoist priest was in a very good mood, made a guarantee, and ordered Qingfeng to send a meal, but the bright moon was gone.

By the next day, the breeze was gone, and the medicinal fragrance in the Dan furnace was even stronger.

On the third day, the young Taoist priest also disappeared.

"This ...... What's going on? Grandpa! ”

Xu Changqing looked at the red baby who was not in a hurry at all, and the scholar surnamed Li, who was starting to become a little worried, and the old Taoist priest who was crazy in front of the Dan furnace, felt more and more wrong.

It's as if I've fallen into a nightmare, and I can't help myself.

"Don't sleep tonight, you guard that scholar, you ......know," Sulu's voice came.

"Good!"

Xu Changqing reached into his arms, held the black finger bone, and replied coldly.

……

Midnight.

In a makeshift cottage.

He deliberately pretended to sleep and slept next to the scholar surnamed Li.

Everything is quiet, only the sound of insects.

When the bright moon came to the middle of the night, the insect chirping suddenly disappeared.

Quiescence!

There was a dead silence all around!

A black shadow slowly walked into the grass house, holding a sharp dagger in his hand.

He approached, the tip of his dagger pointed at the scholar.

"Drink!"

At the critical moment, Xu Changqing shot violently.

He threw a punch that slammed into the wrist of the enemy's blade, and flew up again, right in the center.

"Ahh

The shadow fell to the ground and let out a hoarse cry of pain.

"Sure enough, it's you, old Taoist!"

Xu Changqing lit the oil lamp, and unsurprisingly saw the old Taoist priest with red eyes and a crazy expression.

However, it was too easy.

In the fight just now, the existence that was evaluated as an 'inhuman' by the old grandfather was so vulnerable?

"Ahh

The scholar woke up in shock, saw this scene, and shouted, "Old Taoist...... You, what are you going to do? ”

"He's going to kill you!"

Xu Changqing responded coldly and saw the face of the red baby outside the window.

Her sleepy eyes were hazy and she yawned: "Little Qingzi...... You really aren't a powerful person, you don't even know the 'origin' here, and in the middle of the night, you are noisy. ”

"Hey...... He's going to kill someone! ”

Xu Changqing looked at the back of the red baby going back to sleep, and felt that he was either crazy, or this world was crazy.

"Human medicine! Human medicine! ”

The old Taoist priest lost his eyes and muttered this.

"You demon."

Xu Changqing was angry, and carried him to the front of the Dan furnace and opened the lid of the furnace.

Rumble!

Under the red firelight, several faces floated and sank in the Dan furnace.

Among them, there is not only the young Taoist, but also the face of a breeze and a bright moon......

"Ahh

Seeing this scene, the scholar spat directly: "I...... I don't want to live forever, I want to go home...... I'm looking for my dad ......."

He was so frightened that he burst into tears, and he looked like he was about to go crazy.

"Demons! I can't spare you! ”

Xu Changqing was furious, and with a knife, he cut off the old demon's head and threw it into the furnace.

……

Early the next morning, he was on the side of the Dan stove and called the red baby and the scholar over: "I'm going to send the scholar out of the mountain, the red baby girl, what about you?" ”

Hongying twisted her hair and chuckled: "Continue to do chores, alchemy!" ”

"Huh?"

Xu Changqing was taken aback.

Immediately, something even more surprising happened to him.

The old Taoist walked out of the grass hut with a gloomy expression, as always: "Today's alchemy, you will wait to find firewood!" ”

Suddenly, a cold sweat spread all over Xu Changqing's body.
