41 Chapter 41
Fang Yuan knew that his junior sister was not a person without a purpose, so he looked at her deeply and chose to trust: "Okay." ”
He prepared the spiritual herbs needed for the Tranquility Pill, removed a few medicinal materials that the frail could not consume, and handed them to the little junior sister.
Xue Yan pulled up his cuffs in surprise, heated the iron pot, picked and threw in various spiritual herbs and medicinal herbs, and put them on the fire to stir-fry. She didn't think that the fire was hot enough, so she pinched a fire talisman with her left hand and fingers.
When the fire is bigger, add water, and when there is more water, add fire.
Fang Yuan looked at the little junior sister's stir-fry technique that might not even be able to stir-fry the vegetables, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He had never heard of anyone refining pills in this way, alchemy has always been more serious, and some Dan cultivators even specially chose a good day and auspicious day to open the altar when refining high-level pills, which is like a little junior sister who rolls up her sleeves and carries a spatula and dares to go into battle. But he thought about it again, and it seemed that no one had stipulated that he could not use this method for alchemy.
Fang Yuan's mind was full of thoughts here, but Xue Yanjing's movements were becoming more and more proficient, in a trance, she felt as if she had had a similar experience, she had no money and no medicine, she could only go to the spirit grass by herself when she was injured, vomiting blood and vomiting until she was about to spit out the fragments of her internal organs, and she had to brace her body to find a way to practice the pill.
From the disembodied dragon slaying golden sword, to drawing talismans in the air without the help of any tools, and now to the iron pot fried elixir......
She suddenly understood a little, these things may not be deliberately done by the Demon Venerable, let alone play prestige, to show her difference.
Some abilities are probably forced out.
Thinking about this, Xue Yan was shocked but did not make any waves, she didn't want to feel sorry for herself for the past suffering, not to mention the suffering that she had no memory at all.
She quickly clapped her hands, and when she was done, Fang Yuan looked at the fist-sized lump of paste in the pot and said strangely: "...... What is it? ”
"The pill, don't look good, it's a little bigger," Xue Yan exclaimed, "but the effect should be the same if you eat it." ”
Fang Yuan looked left and right for a long time, feeling that his junior sister's act of forcibly saying that this thing was an elixir was comparable to referring to a deer as a horse.
When the child's father heard that the pill had been practiced, he first thanked him again and again, and when he got closer to see it, he was stunned: "This is the remaining pot bottom ash?" ”
"No, this is the elixir itself."
"W-How are you going to feed this?"
Xue Yan rolled up his sleeves in surprise: "If you are reluctant to pour hard, let me come." ”
"No need," the man glanced at the fierce immortal master, and refused repeatedly, "Don't bother you, I'll come." ”
Xue Yan was shocked to put the pill in a large bowl and handed it to him, he stared at the bowl and hesitated for a moment, always feeling that this immortal master was not very reliable: "I heard that the pills are all round. ”
"Immortal cultivators are not limited to form, and they are not subject to things."
"......" Fang Yuan vaguely remembered this sentence of not being enslaved by things, to the effect that people are not enslaved by external things, and no matter how they explain it, it has nothing to do with the current situation, but the child's father seemed to be fooled by this more advanced wording, and cautiously took the sea bowl and went straight to the hospital bed.
Seeing that he was gesturing in front of the child's bed for a long time, he didn't know what to do, and finally the child's grandmother snatched the sea bowl and fed it one bite at a time.
This huge elixir was only half fed, and when the child's face turned rosy, the family was overjoyed
After looking over, the grandmother also quickened the movement of her hands, and after a while, the child's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her fingertips moved lightly, as if she was stimulated by something, and she quickly woke up.
Everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly surrounded them.
But the first thing the child did when he woke up was to vomit on the edge of the bed, and his father hurriedly took the spittoon, and then his grandmother's face was mixed with a trace of worry, and asked Xue Yan in surprise: "Immortal Master, what's wrong with Xiu'er?" What are the consequences of this disease? ”
Xue Yan stood by the window in shock, his posture was upright, he was dressed in a snow-gray robe lined with long hair like ink, and he looked extraordinarily immortal, and spit out two words incomprehensibly when he heard the words: "It's okay." ”
When the family saw that she was so radiant, they immediately believed it.
Fang Yuan glanced at the little junior sister, he didn't poke her, he was disgusted and vomited by the smell of the elixir, but it was indeed okay.
After the family settled the child and thanked a few people for their kindness, Fang Yuan asked where the child had come into contact with the ghosts.
"His uncle's house picked him up for a few days a while ago," the family told the ins and outs, "that child and Xiu'er are the same age, and they like to play together, and it is common for them to communicate with each other, but after returning home this time, Xiu'er was not in good spirits, and he couldn't wake up no matter how he woke up after falling asleep that night." Naturally, we went to his uncle and asked, and they said that the two children were playful, and secretly threw off the adults and ran out, and I don't know where they went. ”
"Where does his uncle's house live?"
"It's in the neighboring town of Huguan, and it's an hour away by ox cart."
Xue Yan nodded in surprise, and his fingers containing spiritual power lightly touched the child's forehead: "Let him sleep a little more these days." ”
In the voice of the family's thanksgiving, the two of them left here, Xue Yanjing discussed with his senior brother and Dulu for a while, and agreed to go to Huguan Town to meet the ghost for a while.
Dulu was even quite excited, and muttered to Xue Yan that he would be the first demon to help mortals catch ghosts.
Xue Yan laughed in surprise and gave him a thumbs up.
Huguan Town is a small town, and most of the residents of the town make a living as carpenters and bricklayers, and if someone in the neighboring towns and villages builds houses or makes furniture, they will ask them to come and help.
Because most of the people in the town are working outside, they walk on the streets
There were not many people, and there were few street vendors and shops, so Xue Yanjing walked all the way along the long street and only met a few sporadic people.
Fang Yuan thought thoughtfully: "It's this kind of town that is the most convenient for the ghost clan to start, occasionally there are a few fewer people, and the others can't find it for a while, thinking that they haven't returned from working abroad, and when they can find out, it may be too late." ”
Xue Yanjing passed by a woman holding a rabbit, paused, and turned back to look at the woman's back.
Fang Yuanqi said: "What? ”
"I don't think something is right, just now the rabbit in her arms glanced at me, and her eyes were very strange," Xue Yanjing chose to trust her instincts, "How about we catch her and torture her?" ”
“…… When you and Fifth Senior Sister went out, you also behaved like this? ”
"No, she won't," Xue Yan shook his head regretfully, "I guess, senior brother, you will also propose that we go along and take a look before making a decision?" ”
Fang Yuan nodded with a smile: "You guessed right. ”
"It's good to divide the soldiers into two ways," Xue Yanjing suggested, "I'll go up and take a look, senior brother, you take Dulu to Xiu'er."
's uncle's house to listen to one or two. ”
"Let's go," Fang Yuan sighed, and then chased after the figure of his junior sister who was staggering away, "Don't torture mortals!" ”
"Got it!"
Xue Yanjing followed the woman all the way to a butcher's house, the butcher was chopping pig bones in the yard, and the woman showed him the rabbit she was holding in her hand: "My child came from nowhere, I don't want to raise this thing, do you want it here?" ”
The rabbit seemed to understand something, and struggled violently, with tears in its eyes, and let out a terrible scream, but the woman did not hold it, but was freed from it, and the butcher stepped forward, grabbed its ears and handed it back to the woman.
"I don't accept it here," the butcher shook his head, "rabbit meat is not easy to sell, and several families have been selling rabbits to me lately, but I don't know where they got it, and I don't see any hare nests nearby." ”
The woman was a little disappointed when she heard this, so she picked up a cheap barrel bone and bought two catties.
The butcher saw that she only picked bones instead of buying meat, and had some guesses in his heart: "Your family hasn't come back yet?" ”
"No," the woman's face was sad, "I said I would go and help someone build a house, and I would come back in a month at most, but how long has it been, and the family is still waiting for him to come back with that payment." ”
The butcher accepted the copper plate she had handed her, and in silence he gave her another piece of pig to go into the water.
"You really don't accept this rabbit?" The woman discussed, "I don't want much, you can just change some pork for me." ”
"No, you can take it back and stew it yourself, I only sell pork here," the butcher pointed to a small deer tied in the yard, "I sent a deer to my brother-in-law this morning, and I bought it for the sake of face, and I am worried about how to eat it now!" ”
The woman circled around the fawn: "This deer is not bad, give me a bowl of deer blood after slaughtering." ”
"I haven't slaughtered a deer either, so if you can help, I'll cut you a piece of meat."
"Cheng," the woman deserved, "kill now?" ”
"Okay." The butcher stepped forward to untie the rope, but the fawn, who had been closed to his eyes, suddenly kicked him in the knee with a hoof, and ran out of the courtyard in a rampage.
The woman hurriedly helped to stop and block in front of the door, the fawn bypassed her, stepped on the stone mill in the yard and jumped up to the courtyard wall, the deer's bounce was very good, if it weren't for the uncoordinated use of the limbs in front of him, maybe this jump could really escape.
The butcher scolded and dragged it back and pressed it to the bluestone slab, and the woman stepped forward to help tie up its legs and feet, and the fawn cried out as if pleading, and a teardrop rolled down from its big round eyes.
"Stop," Xue Yan appeared in surprise and threw a silver ingot to the butcher, "I want this deer." ”
The butcher weighed the weight of the silver, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, kill it for you or ......"
"I'm going to live." Xue Yan interrupted him.
"Okay, where do you live, I'll carry it for you? This deer is not very honest. ”
"No, just untie the rope."
The butcher did as he was told, and the little deer seemed to understand that Xue Yanjing was saving it, so he stopped struggling and obediently hid behind her.
The woman on the side couldn't get the venison, so she reluctantly picked up the rabbit and wanted to leave, Xue Yan stopped her and threw her a silver ingot: "The rabbit sells me." ”
"Good!" The woman was afraid that she would regret it, so she hurriedly stuffed the struggling rabbit to her, and hurried away with the silver in her hand.
Xue Yan took a deer and a rabbit and walked to a no-man's land at the end of the alley before stopping.
"Don't be afraid," the rabbit's whole body was trembling, Xue Yan held it in front of his eyes and looked at it, "Are you...... People have changed? ”
The guess was a little bold, and the rabbit's head moved, looking like a nod.
The rabbit naturally can't speak, Xue Yan thought about it, and in order to verify his guess, he took out the pen and ink, dipped the rabbit's paws in ink, and let it play freely on the paper, telling the ins and outs of the matter.
The rabbit waved its forelimbs awkwardly on the paper, and after a while, Xue Yan looked at the messy ink in surprise and said curiously: "Is it that I think too much?" You weren't made up of people? ”
The rabbit got excited, and the fawn stomped its hooves anxiously.
Xue Yan was surprised and thought of another possibility: "Or rather, you are actually illiterate." ”
The rabbit lowered his head in shame.
“……”!
