Chapter 4: The Elixir
The combination of the dawn that breaks through the night and the unique vibrancy of spring is truly exciting.
A girl dances to a brisk rhythm and is walking up the hill. She is dressed in red, combed with double buns, her face has not faded, the age of twelve has grown to 160CM, the slender figure is not thin at all, plus dancing, the whole person looks very energetic, very cute. The strange thing is that those flowers and trees that have long withered have come to life in the girl's dancing, and they seem to be healthier and stronger than before. Could it be that the girl's dance has the magic of bringing the dead back to life?
Coming in front of him was Hu Yanyu, and the big guy wrapped in cloth on his back was nowhere to be found. At the same time, there was a kind of gloomy atmosphere on the face with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
The girl in red said: "You have not been able to control your murderous aura for three years, no wonder you have to hide like a turtle with a shrunken head. She seemed to already know about Hu Yanyu's appointment to fight, and then deliberately said this to anger him.
"I don't want to hurt the innocent. The words were swallowed back as soon as they came to their mouths, Hu Yanyu still walked towards the manor without saying a word, and the girl in red didn't say anything when she saw this, but still danced briskly.
Soon, Hu Yanyu returned to the manor and walked directly into the house, ignoring the big white eagle on the courtyard, but the big white eagle was a little excited when he saw him, and patted his wings as if to greet him.
When I came to the dining room, there were only two women and one man left in the room, the man was the scholar Lu Xiaoguo, he was in a habitual daze, and the two women were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks. Seeing Hu Yanyu coming back, Jiang Ruorou said, "Boss, breakfast is in the kitchen, I'll bring it to you." ”
Hu Yanyu nodded, and then said to the scholar, "Mr. Lu, please help me reply to the letter." ”
Lu Xiaoguo has been in the manor for so long, and it is the first time he heard Hu Yanyu say so much to him, and he has to ask him to write a letter, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go immediately." He was so excited that he forgot one thing and immediately added, "What is the content?"
"I'll fight, and ten days later, at the top of the Chaos Mountain. ”
The scholar immediately returned to his room and worked hard to write a book, wrote down all the contents of the time and place of the battle, and then showed it to Hu Yanyu. Seeing that the master nodded after reading it, he relieved his heart.
Finally, Hu Yanyu put the letter back in the bamboo tube, tied it to the body of the big white eagle with a rope, and then watched the eagle soar in the sky. At this point, the matter of the duel was decided. What kind of duel is this?
There are two flowers, one on each branch. A week later, in another place, a woman named Su Qian looked up helplessly at the starry sky. She seemed to be waiting for something with a lot of heart. Suddenly, a door opened behind him, and Lang Zhong walked out with a sigh and shook his head at her.
This shaking of the head was like a fatal blow to Su Qi, she had always been strong, and she actually had the urge to cry, but she tried her best to control her emotions and forcibly held back the tears that were about to fall, she asked, "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with her?"
"It's hard for her to get better. Lang Zhong said, "Unless ......"
"Unless what?" Looking at Lang Zhong with a look of embarrassment, Su Qian asked excitedly: "Uncle Yu, little sister, I beg you, tell me what else to do?" Looking at Lang Zhong who left silently without saying a word, her mood was difficult for others to understand.
Walking into the room, the cloudy atmosphere made people feel uncomfortable, standing on the side was the third sister Su Mo, who had already cried into tears, and the second sister Su Shao, who was sitting in front of the bed and crying silently, as the eldest sister, Su Qian was bitter and indescribable. She looked at Granny Su who was lying on the bed and dying, the unwillingness and pain in her heart were blended together, and tears almost burst out of her eyes, but she endured it, clenched her fists and endured it, as a girl, it is really not easy to be so strong.
Thousands of thoughts surged in Su Qi's heart, and she thought: Although, my mother-in-law and I have no blood relationship at all, no matter what you say, it will pull me up. Moreover, she loved me so much, how could she let her die of illness so inexplicably?
"Xiao Jiao!" the patient lying on the bed cried out weakly, "Qi! ”
Su Qi walked to the bed and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"The old woman wants to see you marry before she dies. Granny Su said this sentence very slowly, and it seemed that she had to use all her strength to say it. Su Qi choked up and said: "Mother-in-law wants to get better, if you lie down for the rest of your life, I will not marry for the rest of my life." ”
I don't know if Granny Su heard the words of the righteous daughter, and I don't know if she slept or fainted, Su Qian probed her snort, knowing that her mother-in-law was still alive, and hurriedly ran to Lang Zhong's house and knocked on the door.
Langzhong's surname is Yu, his name is complete, and everyone calls him "Miao Langzhong". He was the only doctor in the village.
The eager knock on the door made Yu Nengquan forced to open the door, and as soon as Su Qian came in, he knelt down and said, "Uncle Yu, my little sister kowtows to you, please! I know you have a way to save your mother-in-law's life." ”
Yu Nengquan hurriedly held her up before Su Qi kowtowed, and he said, "Xiao Qian, it's not that I refuse to save her." It's just that the medicine that saved her is in Lingxiaoguan. It's thousands of miles away, heavily guarded. I don't think the chances are slim. ”
"As long as there is a glimmer of life, even if the little sister fights for her life, she has to save her mother-in-law. ”
Yu Nengquan looked at Su Qi's firm eyes, sighed helplessly, and said to her, "Please wait." After he finished speaking, he walked into the inner hall, and after a while, he took out a book that had been dusty for a long time. He dusted the book away, then opened one of the pages and handed it to her. After reading it, Su Qi asked, "Where is Lingxiao Temple?" Miao Langzhong shook his head and persuaded: "I think it's better to forget it......" He didn't say a few words before he was stopped by Su Qi's tearful expression. So, he reluctantly told Su Qian the address.
Lingxiao Temple is a Taoist sect located on the Tibetan Dragon Mountain. Since the founding of the school, the ancestor has experienced many winds, frosts, rains and dews, and the baptism and tempering of the years. Although it is not well-known in the rivers and lakes, how many immortal cultivators are still fascinated by this place. For a long time, Taoist temples had two academies for men and women, and male and female disciples were managed separately. The two courtyards are about half an hour apart, the buildings on both sides are all built by the mountain, the pattern is similar, the pavilions and pavilions, the palace courtyard, the scale is grand, the weather is magnificent. There are four or five thousand male and female disciples, and their strength is so great that they are rare in the rivers and lakes. In the Taoist temple, there are disciples in charge of patrolling twelve hours a day, not to mention that it is not possible to storm it, even if it is not easy to sneak in. A petite woman like Su Qi, even if she is given a pair of wings and can fly in, she can't fly out.
This night, a wonderful thing happened in the alchemy room of Lingxiao Temple.
At that time, there were two little Taoist priests, one called Jixiang and the other called Ruyi. The two of them took advantage of the senior brother on duty at the door of the alchemy room to get rid of their hands, so they slipped into the alchemy room and looked for Senior Brother Yue Hai. According to the rules of Lingxiao Temple, the alchemy room needs to be guarded by eight Taoist priests at night, and during the duty period, they must be responsible for taking care of the heat of the alchemy furnace, controlling the temperature in the furnace, observing the changes of the elixir, and adding water and adding medicine are naturally indispensable. There are also two rules, first: Taoist priests under the age of 16 are not allowed to run around in the middle of the night. Even if you go to the bathroom, you must be accompanied by your brothers and sisters to avoid chaos. Second: There is a prescribed time for eating and drinking in Taoist temples, and you are not allowed to eat at will at other times, nor are you allowed to hide any food privately, and food is prohibited here. There are many more boring and inhumane regulations, which I will not list here. If any of the rules are violated, they will be punished, depending on the circumstances. At worst, they will copy scriptures and beat their hands, and at worst, they will be driven out of the Taoist temple and will never return.
Jixiang and Ruyi, two little Taoist priests, sneaked out in the middle of the night to find Senior Brother Yue Hai with only one purpose, they were hungry. On weekdays, Yue Hai loves them the most, and he is guaranteed to have food on his body. As long as there is a chance, the two ghosts and spirits will come to the senior brother, this one is a compliment, that one is flattering, and they can choose what they want to say, so that the senior brother is embarrassed not to take something out for them to eat. To tell the truth, the cultivation on the mountain is originally hard, and it is understandable to hide some food in private, and most of the elderly Taoist priests on this side of the men's courtyard turn their eyes open, even if they secretly eat something, they will not say anything. This is much more lenient than the women's courtyard, maybe the female Taoist priest should control her diet to maintain her figure, so that she can find a wishful husband or something when she is still vulgar in the future.
Gossip is not mentioned, but let's get down to business. It is said that after the two ghost spirits found Yue Hai, one woke up the senior brother who was lazy and sleeping, and the other looked at him with a pitiful face. After Yue Hai woke up, he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with sleepy eyes. The two of them touched their little belly in front of the senior brother at the same time, signaling the senior brother to do something serious at this time?
After Yue Hai came to his senses, he was startled by auspiciousness and ruyi, and hurriedly clenched his fists, stretched out his index finger, and gently "shhh The two little ghosts also laughed when they saw this, and touched their little bellies while laughing. The senior brother hurriedly touched his body to signal that he hadn't eaten, and the two little naughty ones didn't seem to believe it, one grabbed one of the senior brother's trouser legs, and shook it there! Yue Hai hurriedly lifted the waist of his trousers, for fear that something embarrassing would happen, and then looked at the other senior brothers, and saw that they were all sleeping, so he said softly: "I'll go back and get it to you, don't run around! Otherwise, ......" After speaking, he raised his hand and pretended to beat them, and the two little naughty people pretended to cover their buttocks, as if they were really afraid of the senior brother beating.
Looking at the little brother "running away", the two children looked at each other and smiled. At this moment, the relatively mischievous auspicious walked to the alchemy furnace, looking at the golden pill in the furnace, it slowly floated to the center of the furnace and was suspended. He couldn't help but let out a "wow!", and then quickly covered his mouth, for fear of waking up the other senior brothers. Then, he beckoned to Ruyi, motioned for him to come over, and then pointed to the Dan furnace. The elixir sensed human activity in the furnace, and it slowly turned into a butterfly and soared in the furnace.
Ruyi walked over and glanced at the Dan furnace and found that there was nothing unusual. He thought that Jixiang was going to tease him, and he frowned and looked angry. Jixiang this time it was Xiucai who met the soldiers, he couldn't explain clearly, he wanted to explain, and he was afraid of waking up the senior brothers, his little face was so anxious that he turned red, and he wanted to cry after a while, and his expression was both pitiful and cute at this time. The pill in the Dan furnace seemed to sense the auspicious grievance, so it turned into a round smiling face, as if to make fun of this "injured" child.
The geographical location of Lingxiao Temple has been carefully selected by the ancestor of the Creation School, and the aura is extremely easy to gather, especially the location of several alchemy rooms, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a treasure land of feng shui. Therefore, it is not surprising that the elixir in this alchemy room can perceive human nature when it has been refined to a certain extent. Suddenly, ten thousand unusually dazzling rays of light were released from the Dan furnace, and the pill once again floated in the Dan furnace by itself, this time turning into a goldfish, swimming freely in the Dan furnace.
The two children were surprised to see this, and they all covered their little mouths.
This pill is the one that Miao Lang showed Su Qi - the Purple Spirit Life Renewal Pill.
