Above the dark night, the bright moon was shining, and the boundless cold moonlight bloomed, enveloping the earth like flowing hoarfrost, shining on the carriage that Fang Rui was riding on.

"Little friend!"

At this time, a voice came, as if it was ringing in the ear, and at first glance, it made people feel creepy.

But what kind of heart Fang Rui is, he has experienced all kinds of winds and waves, at this time, he is naturally very calm, and his expression is as usual: "Ge Daochang?!" ”

got out of the carriage, and sure enough, I saw Ge Changgeng, a floating cloud monk from Baiyun Temple, and at this time, I didn't see the boy brought by the other party, so I came alone.

"Little friend, can you come over for a while?"

Obviously, it is something to be said, and it is necessary to avoid the coachman, and it is not easy for outsiders to know.

"Nature." Fang Rui instructed the coachman to wait here and followed.

When he came to the street next to him, a hidden alleyway, Ge Changgeng asked: "Can Xiaoyou take out the spiritual jade ginseng obtained today and let the poor road have a look?" ”

"Daoist, please take a look."

Fang Rui was a little surprised in his heart, and he also had some thoughts of 'really came for this', and after being slightly stunned, Dafang Fang took out a silk cloth package and unfolded it to reveal a child-like spiritual jade ginseng.

He didn't think that Ge Changgeng would snatch this spiritual jade ginseng, and as the other party, it would not be at all.

In fact, that's exactly what happened.

Ge Changgeng didn't pick it up, but his eyes flashed with a faint aura, and he looked at the Lingyu ginseng, his expression gradually became solemn, and he said without a head or a tail: "Sure enough!" ”

Immediately.

He stretched out his finger a little, and the pale cyan spiritual light spiraled down like a spring, sprinkling on the spirit jade ginseng, making the spirit jade ginseng, which originally looked extremely normal, suddenly burst into black air, and there was a faint scream of a child exploding in the air.

Fang Rui's pupils contracted suddenly: "This is?!" ”

It wasn't until after a dozen or so breaths that the black qi on the spiritual jade ginseng completely dissipated-

Call!

Ge Changgeng exhaled a long breath, his face turned slightly pale, and explained: "Sun Lingshi cultivated the elixir by special means, leaving some remnants, but he is unwilling to spend a lot of effort to clean up the ......"

"As for the deeper ones, I know a little, but I can't say it." He said, his face apologetic.

"Then it's not too long."

Fang Rui naturally didn't blame Ge Changgeng.

The two didn't have a deep friendship, and the other party was not obligated to tell him the truth.

Moreover, Ge Changgeng came to remind him, and he helped to expel something on the Lingyu ginseng, which was already a great affection, and if he asked for too much, he would have to make inches of progress.

Fang Rui didn't bother to ask the faint little child's mournful screaming and gloomy black aura, his face showed hesitation, and he asked another question from the side: "Daoist Ge, since this spiritual jade ginseng is like this, then, the jade plum seed, the big medicine, the old medicine ......."

In his mind, the jade plum is a strange fruit, born and raised, the most pure, and it can't stand being contaminated by foreign objects, plus, Ge Changgeng also eats it, there should be no problem.

But big medicine, old medicine, he didn't dare to guarantee it.

"Xiaoyou thinks too much."

Ge Changgeng stroked his beard and said: "The jade plum is a strange fruit of heaven and earth, so naturally there is no problem." Big medicine, old medicine? It's also normal, it's just using the formation to accelerate, which can be regarded as natural cultivation, and the elixir ......"

At this, he shook his head and remained silent.

Obviously, there is something wrong with the elixir.

"Those so-called 'elixirs', all have problems?" Fang Rui's eyes narrowed.

"It's not that there's a problem with the elixir, it's the elixir of the imperial court...... In the Dayu court, most of the people who are mixed with a spiritual word are actually ......"

When Ge Changgeng said this, he realized something, interrupted again, and changed the topic: "I really want to say, if this spiritual jade ginseng doesn't ask about the origin, just eat it, it's not too much of a problem, one or two are okay, especially after being purified by the poor path, it is almost no different from the naturally grown semi-elixir." ”

"However, you still can't eat too much, especially if you don't treat it cleanly, if you take it for a long time, it will shake the foundation of martial arts, and it may also affect your heart...... In short, Xiaoyou should be cautious in this regard. ”

"Thank you, Daoist Ge, for reminding me."

For some reason, Fang Rui subconsciously thought of the 'cannibalism' that Kang Huaifeng said at the beginning, and his heart seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze.

'The court, the elixir...... I'm afraid there is a lot of dirt in this! ’

He secretly thought, but he didn't show it on his face, he just bowed deeply to Ge Changgeng and thanked the other party for his reminder and help today.

"There is no need to be polite, I met with my little friend, and I met by fate, which can be regarded as a good cause for my little friend to plant and get good results."

Ge Changgeng said this and paused: "I'm here just because I don't want to see Xiaoyou go astray without knowing it." ”

"It's not early, let's go back!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling Fang Rui not to send him off, and left with a bright aura around his body.

"Everyone in the world is good for immortals, but the power can't forget; Where will the ancient times be, and the barren mound is gone...... Everyone in the world is good for immortals, only ~ immortality can't forget ......"

Only the remaining singing voices lingered, echoing in the cold night, for a long time.

If you are a bystander, when you hear this song, you will probably feel a lot of feelings, or sigh a 'strange person', but Fang Rui?

"This Ge Dao is really ...... Didn't you pretend to be in front of him once last time? This is going to get back to the field, give me back?! ”

He laughed and scolded, feeling that this Baiyun monk was very interesting, with the heart of an old naughty child.

Go back to the carriage.

Squeak!

The carriage swayed and headed back towards Fangfu.

Fang Rui sat in the carriage, his eyes slightly closed, thinking about Fang Cai's matter: "Sun Shoucai's cultivation of elixir is most likely based on some evil spell. ’

'Even if such an elixir were given to me for free, I would not want to eat it. So, to change the question, if there is an evil spell, I can prolong the life of my mother, the third sister, Ling'er, and Nannan, will I use it? ’

Fang Rui thought for a long time and gave his answer: no.

He hoped that Fang Xue's family, Sanniangzi, Fang Ling, and Nannan would live a long life, but he didn't want them to become unrecognizable.

This is just a hypothesis, and in the future, there may be a better way. ’

Fang Rui comforted himself, but he also knew in his heart that it was actually unlikely.

After all, none of the princes and nobles in this world have lived much longer than ordinary people, so it can be seen that the method of prolonging life is rare.

Is there really immortality in this world besides me?' ’

Fang Rui looked out the window.

At this time, the night wind was howling, blowing dark clouds to obscure the bright moon, and the four fields were pitch black, so black that you couldn't see your fingers.

"This night, perhaps, is like this Dayu ......"

Fang Rui muttered, retracted his gaze, looked at the spirit jade ginseng in his arms, and thought for a moment, his true qi surged, directly shattering it.

Yes, the precious spiritual jade ginseng in the eyes of others, at this moment, he abandoned it and destroyed it directly.

If other warriors saw a scene, they would inevitably be heartbroken and scold the tyrannical creatures.

But Fang Rui has no pity.

"It's true that even if I don't use this spiritual ginseng, I can still take it out and exchange it. Can ......'

Fang Rui shook his head.

He probably had some guesses about the origin of this spiritual jade ginseng, and he was in his heart.

In addition, taking it out and exchanging it may arouse suspicion and attention, and it is really unnecessary trouble for someone like Fang Rui who just wants to be reluctant.

"Huh?!"

At this time, Fang Rui suddenly exclaimed.

He could sense that after shattering the spirit jade ginseng, the transcendent factor in the air suddenly increased, but it was mixed with a gloomy and fierce aura.

'Spiritual ginseng, elixir, cannibalism...... Why did this spirit master profession suddenly change to a weird wind? ’

Fang Rui's heart sank, and he didn't absorb these transcendent factors, his sleeves swept away, and his true qi agitated, directly driving away and sweeping away those transcendent factors mixed with an ominous aura.

"No, that Divine Capture Division's spiritual master Sun Shoucai gave me a gloomy feeling, but on the other hand, the Fuyun Monk gave me a natural feeling of spring breeze and rain. ’

Perhaps, the spirit master and the spirit master are also different. ’

Fang Rui thought secretly, and in the swaying carriage, he returned to Fang Mansion.

……

Return to Fangfu.

Fang Xue's family, Sanniangzi, Fang Ling, and Nan Nan didn't sleep, including the big and small maids, waiting together.

Seeing Fang Rui come back, the two little girls, Fang Ling and Nannan, jumped over, looked left and right, and probed their brains.

"Brother, you're back!" Fang Ling's last 'la' voice was long.

"It's a drop! It's a drop! We've been waiting for a long time! My mother said, Brother Rui, you have a banquet. Nan whispered softly.

"Did you bring us a gift?" Fang Ling jumped on the spot.

"Gifts! Gift! "I nodded my little head.

Now, the Fang family's life is much better, and there is no shortage of food and gadgets, but these two little girls are still like this.

It was a habit that was developed during that year's rush.

From Sanzhou in the south to Wuzhou, the road is very hard, every time, Fang Rui comes back from outside, but he can always bring back some good things, or food, or other good things, it is the most anticipated time of the two little girls in those difficult years.

"You're smart!"

Fang Rui smiled, took off the brocade bag hanging from his waist, and poured out two jade plums.

Lingyu ginseng was destroyed by him and he didn't bring it back, but such a strange fruit as Yumeizi, which has been double-identified by himself and Ge Changgeng, is completely fine.

These two jade plums, like ice crystal glass, bloom with pale cyan light in the hazy and dim light, which looks extraordinary.

"Wow! Wow! Brother, it's going to shine! Look good! Fang Ling clenched his small hands, raised them to his chest, leaned forward slightly, his eyes widened, and his cheeks puffed out like a pufferfish.

"Beautiful! Pretty! Nan whispered softly.

Not only the two little girls Fang Ling and Nannan, but even the big and small maids all exclaimed in unison.

There are only Fang Xue and Sanniangzi, one is here, so it's not a fuss, and the other is well-informed, although there is surprise in their eyes, they don't show it too much.

"Not only is it beautiful, but it is also delicious!"

Fang Rui touched the heads of the two little girls, and each of them handed over a jade plum: "Taste it!" ”

Quack!

Fang Ling took a bite, and immediately, as if he had been frozen, he froze for two or three breaths before he jumped up: "Brother, it's sweet and sour, it's delicious." ”

It seemed that the word 'delicious' was far from describing the deliciousness of the jade plum, and she added: "The best fruit is better than meat!" ”

"Uh-huh!" The big eyes are curved like crescent moons, and they nod their heads like chickens pecking rice.

"Mother, you can taste it too!"

After Fang Ling and Nan Nan took a bite, they seemed to remember something, turned their heads and looked at the back, pounced, stretched out the jade plum that had taken a bite and handed it to Fang Xue and Sanniangzi's mouths.

The big and small maids watched from the side, sniffing the faint fruity fragrance in the air, swallowing their saliva slightly, thinking about such a beautiful fruit, and not knowing what it tasted like.

"Brother Rui, this is Yumeizi?!"

The third lady knew that Fang Rui had gone to participate in the Yumei Meeting, so she thought of Yumeizi: "Outside, a jade plum is worth a hundred taels of silver, and you can't grab it!" ”

She had heard of this thing, and in recent days, she had tried to buy it, but she didn't buy it, otherwise she would have brought it back a long time ago.

"A hundred taels of silver and a fruit? This ......"

Fang Xue looked at the fruit stained with Fang Ling's saliva in front of him, and his eyebrows jumped.

When she came to Huaiyin Mansion, the Fang family's life was much better, and she had eaten a lot of good things, but the most expensive ones, such as snow sturgeon, were far worse than this.

A hundred taels of silver, just listening to it, I feel pain.

"It's Yumeizi. Ling'er, Nannan, eat it yourself! I still have this, Nuo, mother, three sisters, one for each person. ”

Fang Rui poured out two more jade plums, and divided them among Fang Xue and Sanniangzi, five jade plums, only the last one was left, and he looked at the big and small maids next to him.

These big and small maids are carefully selected by the three ladies, not only good looking, but also very measured, hearing that this jade plum is so precious and rare, that is, it is a strange sight, and I dare not expect it.

However, this last one, Fang Rui was not ready to eat it by himself.

The effect of jade plum seeds to gain physique is the best with the first one, and then it is a taste.

"Qingyun, go get a clean wooden barrel and put some hot water, remember, it must be piping hot water."

"Yes, sir!" Qingyun Jiaoqiao agreed, twisted her waist and went, this big girl, under Fang Rui's development, became more and more delicate and moving.

Thump!

Waiting for Qingyun to fetch a bucket of hot water, Fang Rui gently threw the last jade plum in his hand into it.

Immediately, I saw that this jade plum like ice crystals began to melt in the boiling hot water, bubbling with a pale golden mist, and finally formed a faint golden 'Fu' character about a foot above the water surface.

There was an exclamation in the room.

"Wow, look, the fruit is melting!"

"That piece of light and shadow is like a 'blessing' word!"

"It's amazing, it's like a spell in a script."

"No wonder it's so expensive." Even Fang Xue's family, seeing this scene, muttered something in his mouth after being stunned for a moment.

……

'Strange fruits and plums will melt in the boiling hot water, producing visions. This is what I read in a miscellaneous book, and sure enough. ’

Fang Rui said secretly in his heart.

As for such a mystery of Yumeizi, why was it not demonstrated at the Yumei meeting?

Very simple.

Just imagine: at the Yumei meeting, brew a basin of Yumei water, divide it into a bowl for one person, and the god catches Si Zheng Zhou Changfa to make a speech: 'This year, everyone has worked hard, please drink this cup of Yumei water'......

It's too petty, and it's all shattered, which doesn't fit the impression of the Divine Capture Division's wealth and generosity at all!

In addition, I don't know what the principle is, it is obviously an azure jade plum, but the jade plum water that bubbles out is pale yellow, and it is steaming, a bit like a ......

It's not very nice anyway.

After seven or eight breaths, most of the jade plum seeds melted, and the word 'Fu' formed by the golden smoke above the wooden barrel dissipated.

"Okay, Bai Shao, Qingyun, give it to the people below! It's not easy to keep you waiting for me for so long. ”

Fang Rui waved his hand.

"Yes, sir." Bai Shao and Qingyun gave a blessing, their voices were excited, and their faces were full of joy.

It's not just greedy, but also happy that Fang Rui attaches importance to them and can be contaminated with some blessings.

"Thank you, sir!"

The little maidens were also cheering.

The sound of the warbler and swallow in the house made this somewhat cold night seem to be lively all of a sudden.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xue's original feeling of distress was dispelled, let alone anything.

"Wow, this water is delicious, sweet and sour."

"After drinking it, I feel warm all over my body, it's amazing!"

"How else to say that a fruit costs a hundred taels of silver?"

"Isn't it? Such a valuable thing, that is, we follow the master, the lady, and the wife, to have such a great blessing! ”

……

Fang Rui looked at Fang Xue's family, Sanniangzi, Fang Ling, and Nan Nan eating jade plums in small bites, the way they liked it between their eyebrows and eyes, and listened to the excited voices of the big and small maids in their ears, and their hearts were also calm, and the gloom and troubles of those 'elixirs' and 'cannibalism' seemed to be blocked out.

At that time.

The light and shadow in the house are swaying, and outside the window, the remnants of snow that have not melted for half a month have accumulated in the shade, reflecting the soft orange and red light in the house, which is hazy.

The line of sight was raised, and in the boundless night, there was a huge and deep darkness, which was bitten down like a giant beast, and the light lit up by Fang Fu was like a propped up enchantment, thin but as steady as Mount Tai.
