The weather was a little dreary in the afternoon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The clouds in the sky had not yet completely dissipated, and the sun was half-concealed and bare-faced, lazily leaking a few rays of light from between its fingers.

The courtyard of the institute is not large, and the layout is very compact.

The sunlight can only leave a small bright spot in the yard.

The two young wizards crossed the speck of light and walked deeper into the backyard.

There was a small garden with herbs and seedlings commonly used in alchemy, which belonged to Dr. Duzem's private wealth.

The old mulberry tree they were looking for grew in the center of the nursery.

I don't know if it's because the bluestone road under your feet is engraved with those spells, and the road is very quiet along the way, and there is not even the harassment of songworms. This tranquil environment made Zheng Qing feel very comfortable.

In the corner of the tall wall next to the laneway, there is a row of lush creepers.

Zheng Qing was deeply impressed by this row of plants.

He remembered that when he waited at the door, there were many interesting little creatures hidden under the wide leaves of these vines.

Of course, even now, if he kept an eye on it, he could always spot those sneaking eyes among the vines.

"When I'm old, I'll buy a secluded house. Create a small garden with vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers. There should be a well in the yard and a deck chair. Plant another big locust tree, in the middle of summer, lie under the locust tree, tsk, think about the beautiful bubbling. Zheng Qing held the porcelain plate and jade scissors, took a deep breath, and wantonly planned his retirement life: "Like those tree sperms and grass sperm, I will build grass nests for them, so that they will not harm my garden." ”

Jiang Yu had a hellish look on his face.

"You're not an adult for a year, and you're thinking about retirement?" she couldn't help but laugh loudly, "It's a little too far to think." ”

"Because I always felt like I couldn't fit in with the world. Zheng Qing was a little sullen: "When a large group of people on campus were watching and speculating on the cause of the kitten's death, I mentioned that it was a wizard who killed the kitten, and I was despised by many people...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. ”

He suddenly realized that the owner of the kitten walked in front of him, and immediately felt remorseful and apologized again and again.

But it was clear that his words had reawakened Jiang Yu's negativity.

"It's okay, you're not wrong. Jiang Yu lowered his head and walked in the shadows between the buildings, his voice a little depressed: "Actually, maybe you said the real cause of its death." ”

"But at the lake, there was no one to support me. Zheng Qing always felt very uncomfortable every time he thought of everyone's eyes.

"That's because you can think that way, but you can't say it in front of everyone. Jiang Yu turned his face and smiled reluctantly: "My tutor once discussed this kind of issue with me, if your opinion is 'politically incorrect', then even if what you say is true, no one will want to accept it." ”

"Humans like to deceive themselves. Zheng Qing sighed: "It's so naïve." ”

"No, it's you who are really naïve. Jiang Yu shook his head and said softly: "If you still belong to this society, you must obey the ideas of this society. You're not an important person, so what you think doesn't matter, what matters is what everyone thinks. ”

As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived in the center of the small garden in the backyard. The old mulberry tree hung its head steadily, not a single leaf was carried by the breeze, as if it were asleep.

"How unreasonable!" Zheng Qing pondered Jiang Yu's last sentence just now, and his tone seemed very unconvinced.

"That's the truth - statements based on anomalous ideas are offensive to the public. ”

"What kind of offense is this? Zheng Qing smiled angrily: "I can't even talk about it if I don't like it?"

"Of course it's okay to talk about it. Jiang Yu shook his head helplessly: "But if your words are like a fluff and can be swept away by a gust of wind, then what's the point of saying it? The older you are, the more experienced you are, and the more skilled you are, you won't say irreparable words." ”

"It's good that I'm still young. Zheng Qing looked at the jade scissors in his hand with self-deprecation, and viciously clicked off a few old mulberry leaves.

"It's a trait of young people to make mistakes, don't worry. Jiang Yu lifted the porcelain plate, took the mulberry with leaves, and raised his voice to remind: "That mulberry leaf looks older...... Yes, on the branch that divides it. ”

Zheng Qing sighed, finally stopped complaining, and began to work quietly.

When the two young wizards returned to their study with a plate of mulberries and young leaves, the Doctor was busy in front of the laboratory table with their backs to them.

"Bring the stuff. The doctor turned his head, raised his eyelids, and looked at the two people, with some surprise in his tone: "You have selected twelve materials so quickly?"

"Doctor, your eyes ......" Zheng Qing exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the doctor behind his desk.

Dr. Duzem's empty eye sockets were filled with two eyeballs again.

Between raising his eyebrows, he was a little more popular.

The whole person looks much more real.

Although his eyes seem to be a little larger than when they first met, and his sockets look a little swollen. But it's within the normal range.

Finally, there is no atmosphere of horror movies, Zheng Qing thought of this, and his mood suddenly improved.

"Are your eyes okay?" Jiang Yu looked at him worriedly: "It seems to be a little congested?"

"Oh, it's okay...... The eyeballs have been soaked in the potion for a long time, and they are slightly swollen. Dr. Duzem rubbed his eyes and squinted at the two young wizards, "Just rest a little more at night...... So we have to work together to deal with the matter of dispensing medicine as soon as possible. ”

Zheng Qing's spirit was shocked, and he nodded again and again.

If he can quietly learn the doctor's dispensing method, maybe his elf can last longer, he thought to himself.

"Come here, I'll assign the follow-up tasks first. The Doctor walked over to his desk and beckoned to the two young wizards.

On the desk, the thousand-year-old spirit turtle was still lying in the center like rotten wood, and at this moment it was holding its neck high, as if it was rotten wood, its nostrils were closed one by one, and it was staring blankly at the medicine mill with a green jade base placed in front of the table.

A delicate layer of red flour has been laid in the mill.

"What is this?cinnabar?" Zheng Qing cautiously used white porcelain to grind the red powder of the cart, and asked curiously.

"Cinnabar?" The doctor shook his head, "Whether it's cinnabar, or saltpeter, or alum, or stalactite, these are all tigers and wolves, and your elves can't afford it." ”

"This is jade powder. Jiang Yu dug out a little bit with his ear spoon, twisted it lightly on his fingertips, and affirmed: "And it's cooked jade." ”

The doctor nodded approvingly, then turned his head, stared at a pair of big swollen eyes that were soaked and swollen, and instructed Zheng Qing: "Go, go to the sun outside the house, and continue to grind the fat jade inside, the finer the better." ”

Zheng Qing hung his head and took the order away.

He realized that Dr. Duzem would never let himself see the full alchemy process.

When the light spot where the sun fell on the ground was further stretched and deformed, Jiang Yu finally walked out of the study and called Zheng Qing back into the house.

The white porcelain mill had already ground his palms red and itchy, and the jade powder in the medicine mill was almost watery.

Zheng Qing rubbed his itchy palms and asked in a muffled voice, "Are you ready?"

"Hmm. Jiang Yu chuckled lowly: "According to the doctor, this kind of spirit powder can be mixed later, and there is no need for special refining." ”

Inside the study.

On the desk was a mouthful of yellowish milk bowls.

In the bowl were some finely chopped blue-black herbs, a thin layer that barely covered the bottom of the bowl.

Dr. Duzem was dipped in a brush with a bowl of bright red paint, sketching an intricate rune on a wooden board. There were already several layers of formations of different colors embedded under this rune array.

"It's a very rare setup. Jiang Yu whispered in his ear.

There is no need to explain Zheng Qing to understand the high-end of this formation.

Being able to nest several rune arrays with different effects and interact with each other requires extremely solid skills and superb rune array skills.

Beside Dr. Duzem lay four small empty bowls, all of which had been filled with black, white, blue, and yellow paint.

When the bowl filled with red paint was also thrown on the ground, the doctor finally looked up.

"The bowl was handed to me. He commanded in a low voice.

Zheng Qing quickly picked up the medicine bowl not far away and handed it to the doctor.

Dr. Duzem removed the old turtle, then placed the wooden board full of talismans in the center of the desk, took the milk bowl in Zheng Qing's hand, placed it on the board, and carefully proofread the position.

"That's all for the basics. He finally stood up, his voice very tired: "Later, you can do it according to my command...... It doesn't require the slightest bit of magic, it's very simple. ”

Zheng Qing nodded vigorously.

"Miss Jiang is in charge of the juice squeezed out of the old mulberry leaf. The doctor glanced at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu nodded quietly.

"Why is it only green?" Zheng Qing looked at the green leaf juice and wondered, "What about those mulberries? ”

"It was eaten. Jiang Yu whispered, and quietly pointed to the reddish-purple stains on the corner of the thousand-year-old turtle's mouth on the desk: "I just found out that in fact, only a little juice squeezed out of mulberry leaves is used in medicine. ”

The spirit turtle seemed to hear the whispers of the two, raised its head proudly, and pursed its lips.

The doctor pondered for a moment, looked at Zheng Qing, and ordered: "As for you, when you see the smoke rising in a while, throw those jade powders into it, don't hesitate." ”

Zheng Qing continued to nod obediently.

"Finally, remember what you're going to do. The doctor turned his head to look at the old tortoise again.

The spirit turtle crooked its neck, and the corners of its mouth curled in disdain.

The doctor took a deep breath, looked up at the sun outside the window, raised his hand, and snapped his fingers.

A convex mirror appears out of thin air above the bowl.

"Fire in the air. He whispered, the sunlight focusing quickly along the lens, and in the blink of an eye, the tiny herbs at the bottom of the bowl were ignited and hissed into flames.

The fire spread, and when the wind was fierce, those fine pieces of herbs turned into a puff of fine ash in an instant.

A wisp of blue-white smoke rises.

"Stone like water. The doctor suddenly raised his head and looked at Zheng Qing.

Zheng Qingfu was heartbroken, waved his hand and raised the jade mill, and the jade powder in the mill that seemed to be flowing water turned into a red light, and fell to the milk bowl one after another, bringing back the wisps of green smoke.

"Kisheng Jin (Tsu). Dr. Douzem seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief, looking up at the witch to the side.

Jiang Yu raised the cup in his hand and poured the juice squeezed out of the mulberry leaves into the milk bowl.

One drop.

Two drops.

Three drops.

The turquoise juice fell into the bowl and glued together with the fine ash of smoke, and in the blink of an eye it faded into a pile of jelly-like things.

"Medicine is like smoke. Dr. Duzem smiled and tapped his fingers on the tortoise shell in front of the table.

The spirit turtle sighed and leaned over the jelly and opened its mouth.

In the middle of the night, a crystal clear silk thread dripped from the corner of its mouth and landed on the jelly.

The final medicine is the saliva of the thousand-year-old spirit turtle.

Like boiling water falling on ice, the jelly melts when it is salivated, and in an instant, it turns into a light mist that is almost transparent.

"Five air turns, smoke in the void. Jiang Yu clenched his fists and groaned weakly: "Is this what a senior alchemist calls a 'simple blend'? This kind of ingenious refining technique is enough for us to learn for many years." ”

Zheng Qing looked at the cyan cloud swirling in mid-air in confusion and shrugged.

He didn't notice how ingenious the doctor's dispensing technique was.

But he immediately rejoiced again.

Either way, the elves were finally able to wake up.
