Chapter 179: The Art of Sacrificial Clothes
Taking out the compass and confirming the direction, she walked two or three miles to the northeast, and before the sky was completely dark, she set up a shed by a stream, and after letting Shen Yi make a fire, she built another pile of firewood not far from the shed, and then set up a Dan furnace to start alchemy.
It took her less than two hours to refine two furnaces of Beast Pills, a total of twenty-one pills, that is, when she was refining the second furnace, she refined eleven Beast Pills for the first time, and she was full of joy and let Shen Yi eat four less.
And the quality of these twenty-one pills faintly surpassed the normal ordinary Beast Pill
However, after refining the two furnaces of pills, she did not continue, but took out the demon pill taken from the bull demon, put it in a bowl and slowly mashed it, according to her, she wanted to make Yuluo powder and prepare to refine the high-quality beast pill.
After the hour, there was only the sound of the cold stream flowing between heaven and earth, and it was very quiet.
After the demon pill was pounded into powder, she put it into the storage space, glanced at Shen Yi, who was motionless next to her, and then looked at the stream and was stunned.
It didn't take long for her to stop moving, like Shen Yi, and seemed to have entered a certain state, and Shen Yi didn't notice that her eyes were glowing, which was so obvious in the winter night.
……
The next morning, the snow stopped, the clouds dispersed, and the sun shone on the earth, but it could not dispel the cold of winter.
She got up and dismantled the shed to keep the snow away, put it in the storage space, and then handed a piece of paper to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi looked at it, flattened it on a stone slab, dipped the brush in ink, wrote a few crooked big characters on it, and then showed it to Tsurumi Chuyun.
"Old witch, come and see what I wrote?"
Hearing this, she opened her eyes and looked carefully.
"I ...... How to hide? ”
"Hey, just be able to see what I'm writing." Shen Yi nodded with satisfaction, folded the paper and threw it into the storage space.
"......" Tsurumi Hatsumo had nothing to say.
She really can't be respectful of this word, how ugly and ugly it is, if you don't look carefully, it's like a ghost drawing.
She almost didn't recognize it.
Packing her things, she came to him: "Let's go." ”
"Let's go."
He walked to the creek and, with all his might, expanded his wings and rose into the air, stretching out his claws to pull her up.
"Slow down."
"Got it."
Echoing disappreciatively, Shen Yi swept towards the northeast with a flap of his wings.
But despite Tsurumi Chuyun's warning, Shen Yi flew and flew involuntarily higher and higher, faster and faster, and after a while, she couldn't stand it anymore and struggled to fall back to the ground.
"Don't fly, don't fly."
"Why are you so hypocritical, there are no people here, just endure it."
"What if you don't catch me and fall?"
"I won't be able to catch you?"
"I ...... I'd better walk slowly. Tsurumi Chuyun shook his head, relaxed his mind, Shen Yi didn't bother to say anything, and turned into a ball of light on the spot and squeezed into her eyebrows.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this old witch still doesn't trust herself very much, when the Tsurumi Mansion was not destroyed, Zhao Shuling also flew with her, and the old witch had nothing to resist at that time, because she knew that Zhao Shuling would not let her go no matter what.
But when you get to yourself, if you can't catch it...... Anyway, she didn't dare bet on the accident.
"Then you just walk slowly."
"Oh."
"You are so afraid of heights, what can you do when you reach the spirit level? When people are fighting, they fly everywhere in the sky, and you just watch on the ground? ”
"If I could fly, I wouldn't be afraid of heights."
"Uh......" Shen Yi was speechless for a while, as if this was the truth.
If he was allowed to stand on the roof of a tall building before he crossed, Shen Yi didn't dare to guarantee that his legs would not tremble, because he would also be afraid of heights, but after having wings, he knew that the sky was no longer a threat to him, and his fear of heights would naturally be gone.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Tsurumi Hatsuyun also quieted down, walking on the side of the road thinking about something, and after a while, she hesitated and said, "Actually, it's not that you can't fly......"
"Huh?" Shen Yi became interested.
"Like I did the night before, I'll just ride on your neck."
As soon as he heard this, Shen Yi's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "You want to be beautiful!" Still riding a dragon? I'm riding you pretty much! ”
"You ......" Tsurumi Hatsukumo stopped talking again in frustration.
Shen Yi spun around floating in the space of consciousness, focused on her perspective and snorted coldly, and then looked at the Shentai, but he was stunned for a moment.
The old witch seemed to be a little different from the Shentai today, he floated over and took a closer look, mainly on the second floor of the Shentai, the gray-white interior actually surged up like a liquid, forming a vortex, impacting upwards, and then dissipating.
After more than ten seconds, the vortex reappeared, impacted upwards and dissipated again, and so on.
Last night, there was no such scene in the old witch shrine.
Shen Yi put his claws into the Shentai and grabbed it, but he didn't touch anything.
Shentai is like this, he can see it, but he can't touch it.
"Old witch."
"What's the matter?"
"You seem to have a problem with the platform."
"No, I don't."
"There is a vortex in the second layer ......of your Shentai," Shen Yi made a long story short, and told her about the situation inside the Shentai, but after listening to it, Tsuru saw Chuyun breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't care at all.
"It's fine."
"What's okay? What the hell is going on? ”
"I've broken through to the breaking stage."
"Break through...... Oh, I see. Shen Yi suddenly didn't care too much, the old witch had broken through to the Orthodox Plague Stage for a while, and now it was a matter of course for him to reach the Breaking Stage.
And he couldn't see what Tsurumi Hatsuun had been pondering outside, and the progress of cultivation was too much for herself.
She wondered what the cause was, but she couldn't find out.
After Shen Yi withdrew his claws, he looked inside the Shentai again, and now there was not even a single red and yellow filament on the upper and lower floors, and it was clean without the slightest impurity, and the only entertainment here was gone.
With a thought, he slowly floated, rotating like a lonely planet under the altar and circling around the altar at the same time.
Changzhou is sparsely populated within the boundary, it is difficult to see pedestrians in the wild, even if you see it, it is a whole convoy, the atmosphere is calm, just like a living person does not enter, Tsuru sees the first cloud will not want to join in the fun.
Because of the reason for alchemy, she stopped and walked along the way, and from time to time let Shen Yi come out and fly with herself for a period of time, even so, it took four days and three nights to enter the range of Fenghe Town.
"We're almost there."
Seeing the stone monument standing at the intersection in the distance, she hurriedly quickened her pace and came to it, and the word "Fenghe" was engraved on it.
She took out the map and compared it quickly, and then released Shen Yi from the consciousness space.
After coming out, he also glanced at it, then turned his head and asked, "How far is it?" ”
"I don't know." She shook her head slightly, and then stretched out her hand to him, the meaning was obvious, Shen Yi understood it at once, her body became bigger with a bang, and she spread her wings and flew up while grabbing her hand and swept forward.
He thought that there would be no one in front of him, but as he flew, he saw a group of people and horses walking briskly in the distance.
"Go down!" Seeing that Chuyun reacted immediately, Crane hurriedly shouted, Shen Yi didn't dare to be careless, and quickly fell back to the ground as soon as his wings were retracted.
"Damn, you scared me."
"Did they see you?"
"I don't know, hey, why did so many people suddenly appear."
Listening to Shen Yi's complaints, Tsuru saw Hatsuyun looking forward a little nervously and motioned for him to enter the consciousness space.
After Shen Yi disappeared, she suppressed the panic in her heart and calmly walked forward.
And the men and horses in front of her also quickly ran into her, it was a group of people in simple coats and armor, not soldiers, it should be officials or something, roughly swept about forty or fifty people, divided into two parts, front and rear, guarding a luxurious carriage in the middle.
"Public officials?" Shen Yi saw this scene in his eyes and couldn't help but say loudly.
"What is a public official?"
"Oh, that's what you call the official."
"Oh." Tsurumi Chuyun nodded, she had spent so much time with Shen Yi, and she had begun to get used to it by spitting out some words she didn't know from his mouth.
She communicated silently with Shen Yi in her heart, but her pace did not stop, and in the face of that group of people, she was very calm and timid, and she just walked on the side of the road to make way for those officials.
To be honest, she was also a little nervous, for fear that they had already seen Shen Yi who had just flown in the sky, and they had suspected something.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the dozen or so officials who walked in front also looked at her one after another, looked at her for a while, and then quickly moved away.
They didn't interrogate, and Tsurumi Hatsukumo didn't speak.
The two sides staggered in two different directions, but just as the luxurious carriage drove beside her, Che Xuan was suddenly opened, and the curtain was pulled, revealing the face of a young man, with an average appearance, and a mole on his chin.
The two looked at each other, only to see the man smile contemptuously and close the window again.
"This guy is a sassy person." In view of the inexplicable smile of this person just now, Shen Yi couldn't help but complain.
“……”
The convoy passed without danger, nothing happened, watching them go away after seeing Chuyun's heart relaxed, turned his head to look ahead, Fenghe Town loomed in the distance like a silhouette.
She took a deep breath and walked forward at a quickened pace, and it didn't take long to enter Fenghe Town.
“…… Alright, it's already here. ”
"This is Fenghe Town, it's not very good." From the perspective of the old witch, Shen Yi also saw the situation outside.
In terms of scale, Fenghe Town is much larger than Longchun Town, but it may be because it is located in Changzhou, it is colder than Longchun Town.
"What's next for you?"
"Find an inn to stay in first." Tsurumi said Hatsukumo as he walked forward.
It wasn't long before she walked past a street corner and her eyes were drawn to the bustle in the distance, with countless people gathered around a sign and talking.
She was a little curious, so she leaned over as well.
But because there were so many people, she could only look at the back of the door with her feet up, and she couldn't see anything.
There was an experienced old man explaining something in front of the billboard, but there were too many people and the surrounding environment was also very noisy, and she listened to it for a long time and didn't hear anything.
She wanted to squeeze forward, but all kinds of body odors in front of her were mixed together, and she was a little disgusted and unwilling to step forward.
It just so happened that at this time, a woman with a vegetable basket squeezed out from the front, and when she saw this, she hurriedly stretched out her hand and grabbed the other party, and at the same time shouted in a playful voice: "Auntie! Ma'am! ”
The woman who was suddenly grabbed by someone subconsciously shuddered, turned around and raised her hand to beat, but after seeing that it was a girl who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, she immediately relaxed and complained: "Why are you such a scary little girl, so that the old lady thinks that the rough man is sneaking at me." ”
As she spoke, the woman reached out and patted the ash on her buttocks.
Without waiting for Tsuru to see Chuyun reply, she said again: "What's the matter, Xiao Nizi, are you also curious about what is posted on it?" ”
"Uh-huh." Tsurumi Hatsumo hurriedly nodded.
"Look at your age, you shouldn't be out of the cabinet yet? Why don't you stay in the boudoir and run out? ”
“……”
"No, Raw Face, I haven't seen you before, whose girl are you?"
"I'm passing through here, coming to town to buy something."
"Oooh oh...... Don't squeeze it in front, that's a person who is not honest, I've seen a woman in eight lifetimes, touching everywhere, you want to know what the aunt is here to tell you. ”
"What's on it?"
"It's nothing, the court wants to catch a female doll, and if you catch it alive, you will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold, but what do you say, I look at the portrait of the female doll and looks weird."
As if remembering something infuriating, the eldest lady looked at the group of people gathered in front of the sign, pointed at them with her finger and said angrily: "Look at those mongrels, one of them has flowed all over the ground." ”
Tsurumi Hatsuun also glanced in the direction of the crowd, turned around and smiled: "I know, auntie, thank you." ”
"What do you say thank you or not, what's the matter, anyway, it's so good-looking, hurry back."
"Uh-huh."
“……”
chatted with the eldest lady for a while, and after the two separated, Tsurumi Hatsumo walked down the street with a heavy heart.
"Old witch, tell me the truth, what is the Liang going to do when he captures you alive?"
"It's possible that it's a sacrificial garment...... But I'm not sure if it's not. ”
"What is the sacrificial garment?"
"It's a kind of evil art, as if it can replace the god of life."
"Replace the ...... of the Destiny God" Shen Yi's pupils shrank in the consciousness space.
"Can the god of life really be replaced?"
"Ah...... Are you playing with something? ”
"What are you panicking about? I'm just curious. ”
"Oh...... The law of Daliang prohibits people from talking about the art of sacrificial clothes, and what I know is also from the mouths of others, and the truth is unknown, but I have never heard of anyone replacing the god of life, just say that the four princes who were killed by you by mistake, his god of life has always been a C-grade mid-grade Biyan Duwu, and he has never changed it. ”
With her words, Shen Yi fell into a brief contemplation.
"Weird...... If that is just a rumor, then why ban people from discussing it? What are the Liang royal family afraid of? ”
"Hmm...... In fact, not only Daliang, but other dynasties also have rumors of the art of sacrificial clothes. ”
"In other words, the art of sacrificial clothing exists, but the effect is not what we imagined?"
"Like, but they probably didn't want to capture me alive for ......"
The latter words were not said by Tsuru Chuyun, but Shen Yi also guessed a few points.
Capturing the old witch alive is fake, and the real goal of the Liang royal family is likely to be himself!
"MMP ......" (End of Chapter)
