Chapter 6: Bathing in Fire

"Master, look!" Xu Yunhe excitedly took out the dry nine-leaf calamus from the medicine basket and stretched it out in front of Su Liusha as if offering a treasure.

"It's ...... Nine-leaf calamus?!" Su Liusha's voice suddenly trembled a little, he carefully took the herb in Xu Yunhe's hand, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it carefully, and only sighed after a long time, "Sure enough, it's it...... I thought that only that place could grow nine leaves, but I didn't expect it to be here...... ...... can still appear."

"By the way, Master, there's a porcelain vase for you to look at!" Xu Yunhe looked at the master with a strange expression, and suddenly remembered that the emerald porcelain vase handed over to him by the strange old man was still there, and quickly took it out again.

"This thing...... Where are you from?!" Su Liusha's whole mind was attracted by the nine-leaf calamus, and when he heard Xu Yunhe's voice, it was a faint casual glance, but who knew that just a glance, a pair of eyes suddenly opened, and a pair of wide palms tightly grasped Xu Yunhe's hand, and clenched the turquoise porcelain bottle.

"Master...... This porcelain vase...... Is there anything wrong?" Sensing Master's abnormality, Xu Yunhe's voice became cautious. Thinking of the ghostly speed of that eccentric old man, Xu Yunhe faintly felt that his master might really have a lot of relationship with him.

"How did you meet him?How old is he?What does he look like?" Su Liusha's eyes were like lightning, he looked at Xu Yunhe, and asked with a stern expression.

"He's a very old gentleman...... I'm probably in my seventies...... A wisp of beard on his chin...... Half-black, half-white...... And ......" Xu Yunhe recalled little by little.

"What, more than seventy?" Su Liusha Fox wondered, and then shook his head slightly, "Impossible, the age of the usher will not exceed forty years old, this is the rule, it will not change...... Wait!"

Su Liusha's voice suddenly changed his tone, and he grabbed Xu Yunhe, who was still slowly reminiscing, and asked in a hurried tone: "What did you say? His beard is half black and half white, is it left black and right white?"

"That's right, his beard was still gray when I first went to buy medicine, but I don't know what's going on, when we met just now, it became black and white. There was something strange about that old gentleman, he ......"

"Presumptuous!What old man, is that what you can call!" Su Liusha asked sharply, and the sternness in his tone was the only one Xu Yunhe had seen in his life.

"Master...... I...... I was wrong...... I don't know where I said it wrong, but the master, who has always been as calm as water, was so strict with himself, Xu Yunhe snorted.

"It's not your fault, it's mine. I didn't tell you anything, you didn't know about it, so how can I blame you? and...... I...... It's not a disciple under the door wall......" Su Liusha smiled bitterly, turned his head to look at Xu Yunhe, who was confused, and said gently, "No wonder you are so abnormal today, it turns out that you met him! ”

"Master......" glanced at Su Liusha cautiously, and seeing that Master didn't have any angry face, Xu Yunhe picked up and asked in a low voice, "...... Master...... That old ......"

"Just call him senior, I have nothing to do with him anymore. Su Liusha smiled bitterly, and Xu Yunhe noticed that the master never seemed to have seen him laugh as many times as he did today, and there was no day when he would smile so bitterly like today.

"Yes, Master!" didn't dare to ask deeply, Xu Yunhe asked cautiously, "That senior...... Does Master know each other?"

"Yes, I ...... with him. I've known each other for more than 30 years...... But now, he doesn't want to see me, and I won't see him. Su Liusha shook his head.

"And he...... Is it a good person or a bad person?" Xu Yunhe asked another question, which was very innocent, but it was also very human.

"Good guys and bad guys? Yunhe, when you grow so big, do you think that all kinds of people you see can be easily classified as good guys and bad guys? Good guys and bad guys, hum......! How can you tell the difference between these two words!" Su Liusha sneered, and there was a strong mockery in his words.

Xu Yunhe was silent, Su Liusha turned around and walked back, saying as he walked: "I met him, and it was also your fate." I just don't know if this fate is a good thing or a bad thing...... This is the future...... Who's to say for sure......"

"Yunhe, come with me, today, you can restore your genius name......" Su Liusha walked around to the side, and crossed a strange rock as high as an axe blade, and a cliff appeared in front of him. There is a cave under the cliff, and there is a pot stove made of stones piled up in front of the cave, which is where Xu Yunhe has lived for ten years.

Su Liusha walked over without saying a word, skillfully added firewood and water, lit a fire, and soon the stove burned red.

A pair of eyes watched without blinking as the water in the pot gradually bubbled, and without waiting for it to boil, Su Liusha neatly threw various medicinal herbs into it little by little. Strange to say, the pine wood in the stove burned very strongly, and the water in the pot was about to boil, but with the addition of inconspicuous medicinal herbs, the bubbles that had gradually emerged gradually disappeared, and later, even the heat was gone.

Paying close attention to the gradual decrease in the temperature of the water in the pot, Su Liusha's eyes were a little more solemn, and suddenly the index finger of his left hand was straight up, his thumb and middle finger were gently touched, and his little finger and ring finger were slightly bent and his middle finger were closed, and he struggled to point at the stove.

The flames in the stove stagnated suddenly, and in an instant the flames jumped again, and the flames that were originally fiery red suddenly changed color, and the color became lighter and lighter, and in a short time it became pure white, revealing a hint of weirdness.

And with the change of flames, the water surface of the mirror lake in the pot also appeared amazingly, large and small bubbles soon appeared in the water, and the clear water also appeared a faint red, as the water slowly began to boil, the color became darker and darker, and finally, it had become as red as blood.

"Almost......" Su Liusha looked at the water in the pot that was as red as blood, muttered to himself, carefully took out the nine-leaf calamus that Xu Yunhe handed over to him, cautiously looked at the boiling water, and then quickly threw it in.

As soon as the dry nine-leaf calamus was thrown in, the pot of water that was bubbling out of the bubbles regenerated and changed, boiling and boiling, but the color of the water surface changed. The color of red blood suddenly turned golden, and the golden yellow was dazzling, like the sun at noon.

"Yunhe! Go in!" Seeing a change in his eyes, Su Liusha shouted at Xu Yunhe briefly, his low tone revealing undoubted decisiveness.

"Master, this ......" Xu Yunhe looked at Su Liusha with a solemn face in surprise, glanced at the boiling water in the pot, and swallowed his saliva with difficulty.

The water in the pot is still rolling frantically with bubbles, and as long as this boiling water touches people's skin slightly, it will burn a string of bubbles at the lightest. And now Su Liusha wants Xu Yunhe to jump in directly, although Xu Yunhe dares to touch the firewood knife with his neck, it does not mean that he has the courage to make boiled fish.

"Before you were three years old, you were the pride of the sky, and everyone held you in the palm of their hands. After the age of three, you know best what kind of situation you are in. So many years of shame, for what, you understand best. As long as you have been washed by this pot of Seven Herbs Fire Spirit Soup, you can eliminate your hidden illness and restore your name as a genius!" Su Liusha naturally knew why Xu Yunhe hesitated, he just said calmly, his eyes staring at the boiling pot motionless.

The golden boiling water became more and more dazzling, and in a trance, the surface of the water actually emitted a brilliant light. Looking at the changes in the water surface, Su Liusha's complexion became more and more solemn, and the expression on his face gradually showed some disappointment.

"Poof!"

The golden light of the water in the pot shone to the extreme, and with a sound of water, Xu Yunhe jumped into it in one step, and the water in the pot suddenly rose a lot, and the water surface had overflowed to the edge of the pot, bulging out a little, but it did not overflow.

As soon as Xu Yunhe jumped into the pot, the water surface suddenly rolled even more wildly, and the golden light reflected Xu Yunhe's body cross-legged into gold, and the golden light was like a flame, and the sackcloth on Xu Yunhe's body burned into ashes the moment it was illuminated. In the boiling water, only the naked body of Xu Yunhe, who was sitting cross-legged, was left in the golden light, like a god and Buddha with a golden body.

"Ah!!" jumped into the water for a moment, and the sharp pain that ate his heart and bones made Xu Yunhe scream involuntarily.

It was only by jumping into the water himself that Xu Yunhe understood the deep burning pain caused by the high temperature. The surface of the water overflowed Xu Yunhe's navel, and from below the surface of the water, the skin of his whole body was in severe pain. The pain seeped into the bone marrow, and in an instant, the muscles and bones in his lower body tightened into a ball, his whole body kept trembling, and the water surface rippled layer by layer, and even the stable stove made of mountain stones began to shake gently.

"Yunhe, the martial arts I taught you before were created by myself, although you are only practicing the most basic foundation building exercises, but there will be no problem in dealing with such a pot of Seven Grass Fire Spirit Soup. This is your only chance to recover!The Fire Spirit Soup can scorch the cold qi in your body, although this process is extremely painful, but you have to persevere!" Su Liusha's low and firm voice sounded at the right time, making Xu Yunhe, whose body began to shake, stabilize again.

The flames under the stove still exuded dazzling white, and the water in the pot completely reflected Xu Yunhe's white and thin body into a golden Buddha. It's just that unlike those statues of gods and Buddhas with solemn appearances, Xu Yunhe's face is full of extreme pain. The muscles on his cheeks were twisted, his teeth were "creaking", his palms were completely sunk into the muscles of his thighs, and his exposed body was covered with thick tendons, and the green tendons that were knotted were so dark that they looked hideous and terrifying.
