Chapter 7: Strange Phosphor Powder
He family study.
"I think you have all heard recently, the Tianli Sect has already appeared in our Yanyun Territory, and the stakes are very high, so this time the family will join forces with all the masters of the official Lingtai Realm of Yanyun City to attack together. He Zhenxing paused for a moment when he said this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he continued: "It's just that recently, there is a Yuan Qi Realm Left Dao monk in Yanyun City who doesn't know what to do and jump up and down, no matter how He family or Yanyun has to deal with Tianli Sect with all their might, they can't take care of anything else. So the family decided that it was up to you to deal with him, and it was also a trial. ”
He Wenming thought in his heart: Could it be that the official of Yanyun mentioned that monk?
As soon as the words fell, the fifth He Wenfang immediately stood up and said: "The child is willing to share his father's worries!" The seven words were sonorous and powerful.
He Zhenxing looked at the fifth son who was most like him and smiled with satisfaction.
He Wenming secretly rolled his eyes in his heart and scolded secretly: dog legs.
is obviously doing things for the family, but it has to be said to be sharing his father's worries.
He Lian also glanced at Lao Wu, then stood up and said, "My daughter is also willing." Then the sixth, seventh, and eighth also expressed their willingness.
He Zhenxing continued: "This person dares to commit murder in my Yanyun territory, presumably because he has something to rely on. Therefore, Lian'er, Lao Wu, the two of you are also monks of the Yuan Qi Realm, and as the main force of this operation, you must not be reckless. ”
Turning his head to He Wenming and He Wenyong, he said, "You two are also people who are approaching the Yuan Qi Realm, so it should be okay to be careful about self-preservation." The sixth has always been steady, and I'm not worried, but the seventh, you put away your temper for me in this operation, and if you mess up, you will kneel in the ancestral hall for me when you come back. ”
What do you mean not to worry about me? Except for He Jiao, my cultivation is the lowest, and sure enough, there is no mother's child who is not taken seriously.
He Wenyong, the seventh child, didn't speak, but turning his head to look at the other side had already shown his rebellious attitude.
In the end, he said softly to He Jiao: "The most worrying thing for my father is you, you just arrived at the second heaven of the body refining realm, and I didn't want you to participate, but your mother has to say that you should have a good experience." You're going to follow your fourth sister well, remember?"
He Jiao nodded obediently.
He Wenming was a little puzzled, He Lian and He Jiao were both children of the third aunt, why were they so anxious to let He Jiao come to take a Yuan Qi Realm monk to practice?
In the end, He Zhenxing concluded: "This is the first time that you have been assigned a task, and it is also a trial, and the person with the best performance will receive a heavenly treasure from the family. In addition, the opponent is not weak, and none of you will be left behind after the mission is over!"
He Wenming complained in his heart: Yes, there are only a few seedlings in the He family's direct lineage, and you have to plant one or two more than ten years less.
The five of them left the study and came to a secluded pavilion in the He garden to discuss specific matters.
He Wenfang, the fifth elder, first spoke: "This operation is dark and I am clear, first of all, we have to find his hiding place, what do you brothers and sisters think?"
He Lian said: "If you want to find someone, you can go to Tianya Laodang, this person is a left-handed monk who must be good at hiding, even if Tianya Laodang can't give us an accurate location, it's better than the five of us smearing and looking for it." ”
He Lian's suggestion attracted everyone's unanimous approval, after all, the He family didn't even send them a helper this time.
He Wenming, who has experience in ghost hunting, said: "You can also go to the county government to ask about the time and place distribution of the murder, and maybe you can guess the trace of the murderer." ”
Fifth He Wenfang nodded.
Not to be outdone, Lao Qi He Wenyong said: "Since that person wants to hide, not only do you have to search the inn, but also the most chaotic slums. ”
After half a day of discussion, everyone finally decided to divide into four groups: the fifth He Wenfang went to Tianya Laodang, the seventh He Wenyong went to the city, He Lian and He Jiao went to the yamen to inquire, and the sixth He Wenming was responsible for the response.
Saying that it sounds good is a strategy, and saying that it doesn't sound good is to let him be idle. When it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, the natural merit is also ranked last. This is strongly recommended by He Wenyong, the seventh child, of course, He Wenming is as good as a stream, and the most important thing for him at present is to be dormant.
Early the next morning, the group set off together and ran to Yanyun City. Everyone has a special signal fireworks made by the He family, which can be clearly seen even in the daytime.
After arriving in the city and acting separately, everyone else was running around, and only He Wenming was hanging out alone. Buy some snacks here, some drinks there. Suddenly walking to the door of a pharmacy, an idea popped up in He Wenming's mind.
So in the following time, He Wenming went to various pharmacies and grocery stores in the city and bought a lot of cinnabar and white phosphorus. When he left Yanyun and went home, He Wenming immediately hung up four big burdens.
This is a method mentioned in the "Two Worlds", using a mixture of white phosphorus and cinnabar to produce a kind of phosphorus powder after calcination through soul fire, this phosphorus powder will cause great damage to the yin matter once burned. However, there is a disadvantage, the phosphorus powder is light and easy to stick to clothes, and it is easy to accidentally injure teammates once burned.
He Wenming didn't do anything that night, so he made phosphorus powder in his small courtyard. You must know that according to the family rules of the He family: you can't rely too much on the magic weapon before the Divine Soul Realm, and you need to go to the treasury to register and file the family magic weapon.
Although I don't know why there is such a family rule, it means that He Wenming can only rely on these gadgets made by himself in this mission.
"Knock Knock"
There was a knock at the door of the courtyard, and He Wenming motioned to the maidservant to open the door.
After the door opened, I saw two slim women standing at the door, it was He Lian and He Jiao.
He Jiao asked curiously: "Sixth brother, my sister and I just came back and saw a red light in your yard, what are you playing at night?"
He Wenming smiled: "I saw an ancient method in the book before, which used fire to make a kind of phosphorus powder, which is said to do a lot of harm to ghost things. ”
He Lian asked, "How do you know that this enemy is a ghost cultivator?"
He Wenming looked at her and smiled without saying a word.
He Lian immediately understood that even if He Wenming was not given any task, it did not mean that he did not investigate it at all.
He Wenming took out two small bags full of phosphorus powder and gave them them, to be honest, he still felt very painful in his heart. Half of the prescriptions in the city and the cinnabar and white phosphorus that were only bought in the grocery store were scavenged, and only four bags were refined, and two bags had to be given away. He is not a person who likes to show off, so he is naturally reluctant to tell others how useful this thing is.
He Lian didn't seem to care about her cultivation in the Yuan Qi Realm, and said, "Jiao'er is still young, let's give it to Jiao'er for self-defense." After speaking, he handed the bag to He Jiao.
He Jiao solemnly put it away, she has always liked this kind of weird thing.
He Wenming knew that she couldn't look down on this thing with the cultivation of the second realm of vitality realm, so she didn't say anything and still kept smiling.
The three of them shared the information they had searched for, and He Lian took He Jiao to say goodbye to him. Before leaving, He Jiao happily held up the two bags, waved to He Wenming and said, "Goodbye, sixth brother." So he jumped up and followed his sister.
After a few days, the He family's mission team has not made any progress, because the opponent is too cunning and has never shown its head. If he doesn't show his head, even the end of the world will have no way to find him.
Compared with the busy running of the other four people, He Wenming is also very busy, these days he went to the city to buy white phosphorus and cinnabar during the day, and went home at night on a horse with a large bag and a small bag. He refines phosphor powder when it gets dark, causing his courtyard to glow red at night.
On this day, He Wenming rode a horse on the way home, and this time he didn't have anything on his horse. Because he had already looted the entire Smoke Cloud City.
It's just that this thing is a special consumable material, and it took a total of nine small bags of phosphorus powder to be refined after the entire Yanyun City was scavenged, and two bags were also sent out.
When he was about to walk to He's house, He Wenming felt that something was wrong.
There are obviously some more people in the He family tonight, some of these people are carrying boxes, some are carrying brocade boxes, some are from the He family, and some are not, could it be that something happened to the He family?
Walking to the door, He Wenming found that most of these people were going to the third aunt's residence, and he wanted to find someone to ask why, but these people seemed to be too busy to take care of him. He Wenming didn't plan to get to the bottom of it, and decided to go back to his yard to rest first. Anyway, it's not a big deal if it's not your own business, and the news will naturally be there tomorrow.
Suddenly, He Wenming found that there was a blue-clothed person who had just walked by him, and everyone else was going in the direction of the third aunt, only he was walking in the direction of the second aunt, which was particularly conspicuous in this situation.
It was his conspicuousness that He Wenming discovered the problem, he had phosphorus powder on his body! This thing should only be done by him, how could he have it on his body?
The man in blue seemed to feel that someone was staring at him behind him, so he turned his head.
The two looked at each other.
The man should have been less than forty, but he had never seen him. The wife of the He family rarely met people outside the family, and he quietly carried the fire cloud palm.
The man seemed to be afraid that he would misunderstand, so he nodded with a smile and said, "I am the second lady's maiden family." After speaking, he showed a registration card given to him by the He family.
He Wenming also nodded at him with a smile and apologized.
They both turned and walked away.
The second lady's surname is Zhang, the Zhang family and the He family are in Qizhou, and the ancestor of the Zhang family is also a top family that has been a master of Tongtian. Although it is now gone, there is still a heritage, and it can be said that it is the second family of Qizhou.
He Wenming's use of the Fire Cloud Palm just now was just a cover for the soul fire. You must know that phosphorus powder is refined by soul fire, and at such a close distance, the two must seek the same qi.
It can be judged that he is indeed stained with phosphorus powder.
But how did he get it?
Today's He family is so strange.
