Chapter Forty-Eight: For Whom
The old Taoist priest had already walked away, and there was only one clear thought in his heart.
It's over.
If there weren't still people in the red tower, he would have already turned around and slashed the red tower off the cliff.
Behind him, there was the sound of Bai Yun's hurried footsteps: "Master, Master, it's done, it's done, it's really done." ”
Although the white crane was still expressionless and his tone was calm, the old Taoist priest knew that his excitement at this time had reached its peak.
I turned back and looked, and sure enough, at the bottom of the Dan furnace, there were three pills, shining with a strange green, lying quietly in the ashes of the furnace.
The old Taoist priest didn't believe that this furnace pill could be made, even if he saw it with his own eyes, he was still a little suspicious, and after looking at it for a while, he sighed: "It's indeed a true pill, but ...... But it's not what we want, it is recorded in the recipe that this Dan is a red Dan, and when it is refined, it should be red, like a cauliflower. ”
He Rouyu, who came back a little earlier, told the old Taoist priest about Lu Ran's experience of treating tears as the last taste of real material.
"Tears?" The old Taoist priest groaned slightly, "It's also a good real material, but this elixir, red and black are the top grade, blue and purple are medium grades, and gold and silver are lower grades, but this green pill is extremely rare, what is the function, it's hard to guess in detail." ”
"So, find someone to try?" He Rouyu turned her gaze to the two teenagers who were nesting in a corner at this time, trying to wake up Ke Zhizi.
The old Taoist priest also looked over and said coldly: "No need. Since it's not what we want, it doesn't make much sense. These three unexpected people finally refined this accidental pill, and it happened to be three, so give one to each of them, maybe at the critical moment, it can save their lives. ”
He Rouyu understood at once, nodded, and asked again: "That...... Do you want to go back to Jianshan first? ”
"Nope. Suddenly, I wanted to see the 'floating picture meeting' as well. When the doll wakes up, let's go down the mountain. ”
The old Taoist priest's voice was like iron, and he made a decision that surprised He Rouyu and came out again with his back.
Bai Yunpiao waved his hand at He Rouyu, muttered two words in a low voice, and caught up with the old Taoist.
He Rouyu sighed deeply rarely, her face was so tight, but it seemed that there was a kind of mournful beauty.
"It's really, Dan hasn't been refined, I'm afraid I have to build a good apprentice."
Helpless, He Rouyu had to take a golden pill from a cupboard in the Dan room and throw it to Huihuan: "Hydrate it and apply it to the surface of the wound, and it will be fine in a while." ”
Hui Huan, who had not spoken, looked embarrassed at this time: "This ...... Not quite right? ”
"I'm coming!" Lu Ran, who had been gritting his teeth and glaring angrily, snatched Da Dan, and the next moment he was also stunned, yes, this is a good idea, and it hurts in the front heart......
They didn't even dare to look at the wound.
He Rouyu looked at these two useless boys, snorted disdainfully, but laughed on her lips: "Give you a chance, you are useless, go get me some water." ”
"Ugh."
"Okay!"
The two scrambled to get water, and bumped into each other in front of the narrow little red door.
After a while, Huihuan fetched water, and He Rouyu drove them out of the Danfang, and then personally applied medicine to Kezhizi.
Who would have thought that Zhizi was actually a "Jade Clan".
The so-called "Jade Clan" has always been a legend. Although Ke Zhizi was raised by He Rouyu since she was a child, she really never doubted Ke Zhizi's origin, it turned out that she was not the blood of the Erzhu family.
But it is also true that Zhizi has silver hair and blue eyes, which is very different from the iconic red hair and blue eyes of the Erzhu family.
And if it is not affected by this kind of heavy blow, this "jade clan" will not be able to see any difference from ordinary people at all.
Ke Zhizi's wound is very peculiar, it seems to be a jade hole carved out by a sword, the appearance is rough, but the inside is layered, and smooth, He Rouyu gently smeared it on the wound with Dan water, and felt that this skin was not as soft as words, this is the real value of "skin like fat jade".
Even her name is very apt, Rouyu.
But Zhizi's skin made He Rouyu envious, and touched and touched.
Then she found that remarkable thing, but in Zhizi's also torn clothes, that thing was faintly shiny.
It was this thing that blocked a sword for Kezhizi.
There are not many things in this world that can block the sword of the old Taoist.
The thing He Rouyu held in his hand was the piece of white jade that Xu Fangxiang gave not long ago, and after a closer look, he found that this jade was very similar to the jade in Ke Zhizi's body in terms of texture, texture, and feel.
The most amazing thing is that this white jade is carved with a fish somewhere in the lower right corner.
A tail ring teaches everyone to know the fish.
Yu Li knife, Xu Fang.
If it's him, then everything makes sense.
He Rouyu looked at the girl with a beautiful face, shook her thick long eyelashes, and woke up.
"Perhaps, in this battle, she can save Huanyi's life."
He Rouyu stroked Ke Zhizi's jade-like face and thought secretly.
……
Outside the Little Red Tower.
Two useless teenagers, for a while, each had something on their minds, and they were relatively speechless.
"Nothing you want to say?" Huihuan raised his head, pretended to look at the mountains in the distance, and opened his mouth first.
Lu Ran lowered his head, but he was really fiddling with a small stone.
Hui Huan continued to speak: "Do you think the world of cultivating immortals is cruel? Think Shizun is ruthless? Don't you think I'm ...... Very useless? ”
"I'm so tired, I'm going back."
Lu Ran didn't look up, but repeated the words again: "I'm so tired, I'm really tired." ”
Huihuan was a little dazed, I don't know why he suddenly shouted tired at this moment: "Huh? Because you didn't rest last night? ”
Then, Huihuan was educated by Lu Ran.
"Fangcai, the old Taoist stabbed Ke Zhizi with a sword, you wanted to step forward to block it, but then you held back, I think, maybe it's because you know that you can't stop it yourself, but what you know more is the pill refined in the furnace, which is even more important to them and to you. You want that furnace to be refined, and even to protect the life of the Knowable Son. ”
Huihuan nodded: "Yes, I did hesitate, and I did not make a move, as you said, I even did have some expectations that I shouldn't have, expectation...... Looking forward to Nadan's refining. ”
Lu Ran also nodded: "I said I'm tired, I mean you, you, you're so tired." You give up your life, whether it is your own or someone else's, but that is just a recipe with incomplete real ingredients, a false conjecture. ”
"For this conjecture, the old Taoist priest and the proprietress tried and tested year after year, day by day, over and over again, and you even did not hesitate to sacrifice your close people and even your own lives."
"You can see how important this conjecture, this fantasy, this dream, and this dream are to you."
"And it took a lot of time, energy, real materials, and sacrifices, and in the end it still didn't work, it may not be possible in the first place, it is something that can never be refined, I have heard people say that alchemy and cultivation of immortals are just ideals, so I think that immortals act too hard and too tired."
"I really don't envy at all, I don't even get angry anymore because someone despises life, I just feel tired for you and for you."
"When I think of my good friend, you and Kochiko don't know how long these days will be in the future, I feel even more tired."
Lu Ran looked up at Huihuan and said a lot in one breath.
Huihuan's eyes were already full of tears: "Brother Ran, you don't know the meaning of the pill you have refined this time. ”
"I know. The only thing that can make you give up your life to get is another person's life. ”
Lu Ran's eyes became shining, "If it were me, I would hesitate, I would look forward to it, and I would give up my life." ”
"But I always felt like we had another choice."
"Is there another choice?"
"I also think you've all been deceived."
"All deceived?"
Hui Huan looked at Lu Ran's eyes, and at this moment they became as calm as the sea again, and some people or things seemed to sink into it together.
He didn't understand the true meaning of Lu Ran's words, he just decided that there were some things that he had to say to Lu Ran.
He said what he wanted to say at the inn that day but didn't say it: "Master Zun refining this 'Returning Life Pill' is for his niece, who is also the cousin of my master He Rouyu. ”
"And I, at first, came here for Bona Achebe, my second brother, and I came here so that he could come back to life."
