Chapter 12 Private Decisions

The Alchemy Department is located halfway up the Firefox Mountain, and it is obviously more advanced than the Corpse Transport Department and the Laundry Department.

Both sides of the entrance are surrounded by a stone wall two or three feet high, and a wooden door is opened in the middle, and there are two handles with gold and iron on the door, which is similar to the iron gate of a mortal rich family.

Senior Brother Su took Zhang Feiyang to the door, asked Zhang Feiyang to wait in the distance, stepped forward by himself, and knocked respectfully on the door.

When the door opened from the inside, a female senior sister about the same age as him poked her head out and talked to him for a few words, before Senior Brother Su turned around with a smile and beckoned to Zhang Feiyang, signaling that he could go in.

Zhang Feiyang stepped forward and was about to go in, but saw that the female senior brother went out first, and went down the mountain with Senior Brother Su, the two talked and laughed, as if they were a couple.

Zhang Feiyang cautiously chased after him, hoping that they could follow together.

Senior Brother Su smiled: "Senior Brother Zhang." How old are you? It's not a little doll of a few years old. Isn't it just to meet my brother? Why do you need to be accompanied? Are you afraid?"

Zhang Feiyang nodded without hesitation.

If you admit that you are afraid, you can let others continue to escort you, so why don't you admit it?

Zhang Feiyang is not the kind of pedantic person who knows that there is danger and still prefers to go to Hushan.

He just wants to cultivate to become an immortal, but he doesn't want to be sent to death without a brain.

It's a pity that this trick is not good for Senior Brother Su.

Seeing Zhang Feiyang's expression of help, Senior Brother Su laughed, patted his head, and then left with the female senior sister beside him with a smile.

No matter how Zhang Feiyang continues to retain, there is no way.

Seeing the backs of Senior Brother Su and Senior Sister Female disappear at the end of the mountain road, Zhang Feiyang sighed, looked at the gate of the Alchemy Department again, and still did not rush in.

He frowned, lost in thought, and began to fantasize about the dangers that might arise for a while, and what to do about them.

Until the sky had changed from morning to noon, the sun was shining down, Zhang Feiyang felt that he could no longer stand, his head was covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans, and his back was hot and soaked.

He took a deep breath and walked inside little by little with heavy steps.

The interior of the Alchemy Department is similar to that of the corpse transportation department, mainly a dozen small rooms, built against the mountain road, and one of the largest rooms is built next to a waterfall rushing down from the top of the mountain.

Because there are some raised rocks in the middle of the waterfall, and the mercury-like water rushes down from the top of the mountain and falls on those rocks, which will stir up a large splash of water at any time, and raise a large cloud of water vapor, which will hang over the house.

Zhang Feiyang walked all the way, observed all the way, and saw that there were many disciples of the alchemy department on the road, and it turned out that Xiang Dong was not the only one here.

As he greeted the disciples of the Alchemy Department more and more, the tension in Zhang Feiyang's heart became lighter and lighter, and when he finally came to his destination, he had completely regained his calm, and from the outside, he looked like an ordinary outer disciple who was defenseless.

Zhang Feiyang stepped forward and knocked lightly, making a soft knocking sound.

The door shook twice, and then opened, revealing a familiar figure and a familiar face, it was Xiang Dong.

When he opened the door, he was expressionless, looking very calm, his eyes met Zhang Feiyang, but he smiled, as if he had seen a close relative, took Zhang Feiyang's hand and led him to the living room.

Xiang Dong explained his excitement to him with a smile as he walked.

"You're finally here. Senior Brother Zhang. I've been waiting for you for a long time. I thought you wouldn't come. Come in and have a cup of tea first. This is the Longjing that I specially asked my junior disciples to go to the Houshan Medicine Collection Department to get from it. ”

After entering the living room, he ushered Zhang Feiyang to a seat and sat down, poured him a cup of tea, and sat down opposite him.

The whole process is natural and cordial, and it seems that the guests who are related by blood are entertained, and the attitude towards Zhang Feiyang not long ago is like two people.

This was a big surprise.

Before meeting Xiang Dong, he had considered countless scenarios in which Xiang Dong wanted to harm himself, but he never thought that he would come to this trick, but the more Xiang Dong was good to him, the more calm Zhang Feiyang became, and he didn't dare to be careless, calmly looking at the green tea in the cup, his brain was running quickly, guessing Xiang Dong's intentions.

"Senior Brother Zhang. Why don't you drink it? Green tea should be drunk while it is hot. Otherwise, the taste changes. After taking a sip of tea, Xiang Dong looked satisfied and pleasant, but seeing that Zhang Feiyang never drank it, he smiled and urged softly.

"Senior brother. I'm sorry. I don't like to drink green tea. Zhang Feiyang stared at the green tea for a long time, and couldn't tell if there was poison in it, how dare he risk his life indiscriminately, made up a reason, and bowed to Xiang Dong embarrassedly.

Xiang Dong is not a stupid person, seeing that Zhang Feiyang's eyes have already guessed his thoughts, he smiled awkwardly, took the two cups of green tea aside, no longer wasted time, and when he came back, he explained the matter of inviting Zhang Feiyang over: "Senior Brother Zhang." Don't look at me like that. I have no grievances with you, and I will not harm you.

When I first selected disciples in the outer gate, I was a little strict with you, but I was not right about things. I hope you don't think about it. I invite you here today to tell you a good thing. A few days ago, a junior disciple of the corpse transportation department accidentally encountered an accident and fell off a cliff and died. Now there is exactly one less disciple in the corpse transportation department.

I've heard that you're not being seen in the laundry. Sister Qiao doesn't seem to have taught you the cultivation method all along. I thought, just like this, I'll drop you off in the corpse department.

Although Senior Brother Huo of the corpse transportation department has a bit of an old grudge against me, he still has a good impression of you. It was a decision I made privately. I'm here to inform you about this. I hope you will be able to follow me to the corpse transport department in a while to make some preparations for the transfer. You shouldn't say no, right?"

This incident once again exceeded Zhang Feiyang's expectations.

He thought that Xiang Dong would not succeed in poisoning, maybe he would come to the hard one soon, turn his face directly, and suddenly kill himself, but he didn't expect that he would just take himself to the corpse transportation department to make preparations.

Is your feeling wrong?

Xiang Dong really never meant to harm himself?

Zhang Feiyang looked at Xiang Dong's eyes suspiciously, hoping to find clues from his face.

But at this time, Xiang Dong's eyebrows and eyes were kind and kind, and he looked approachable, and the majesty he had when he was assessing others outside the door was gone, and he was almost like the big brother next door in a mortal world.

The smile on his face seemed to be warmer than the sunlight falling from the sky.

Zhang Feiyang was confused, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't guess what medicine was being sold in Xiang Dong's gourd.

As if seeing Zhang Feiyang's concern, Xiang Dong smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zhang." What's wrong with you? If you don't answer, then I'll say yes. ”

Zhang Feiyang thought about it for a while, but still chose to shake his head during the cautious period and politely rejected the other party.

He weighed it again and again and felt that it was much safer to stay in the laundry department than in the corpse transportation department, even if there might be a chance to see the "Qi Refining Technique" in the corpse transportation department and officially embark on the road of cultivating immortals.

But he never dared to take it lightly and completely trusted others.

Who had him suffer a dangerous assassination not long ago?

It is understandable to have such thoughts.

But Xiang Dong obviously didn't expect Zhang Feiyang to refuse.

His kind face suddenly became a little ugly, but he didn't have a seizure, he just took a deep breath, regained his smile, patted Zhang Feiyang's shoulder, and changed it to a negotiated tone: "Senior Brother Zhang." Why do you want to refuse? If you go to the corpse transportation department, you can learn the "Qi Refining Technique". Don't you want to cultivate immortals? You just want to be a mortal who washes clothes for the rest of your life? If you don't go, I'll have a hard time. ”

"How hard is it?"

Zhang Feiyang is not afraid of making Xiang Dong angry, there are so many disciples outside, and when the time comes, he has the opportunity to shout and attract the attention of others, but he is afraid that Xiang Dong has always maintained a cordial and smiling face, as if he is really a kind person, and deliberately said a word.

Xiang Dong was slightly stunned, suddenly laughed, patted Zhang Feiyang's shoulder again, and said, "Okay, good." Senior Brother Zhang. I respect your choice. But it's a great opportunity. If you miss it so easily, I'm afraid there will be no better opportunity in a year. I think you'd better go back and think about it. I'll give you a few days. ”

This time, Zhang Feiyang did not refuse again. If what Xiang Dong said is true, then, of course, he also wants to seize such a good opportunity.

It's just that this matter came too suddenly, and he wanted to use the past few days to investigate and probe again, and let Zhou Xian help him.

Thinking like this, Zhang Feiyang nodded, bowed, and turned to leave.

Xiang Dong watched him leave with a smile, always keeping his cordiality.

Zhang Feiyang was on the way back, but he was afraid that Xiang Dong might assassinate him, so as soon as he left the entrance of the alchemy department, he flew to the entrance of the laundry department, using his strength to eat.

But just after running out ten zhang away, there was still at least twenty zhang away from the entrance of the laundry department, and a figure had shot from behind him like an arrow, and with a bang, it broke through the air and stopped steadily in front of Zhang Feiyang.

Seeing that the person who came was Xiang Dong, Zhang Feiyang suddenly stopped, and his heart was beating fast as if he was about to jump out of his chest.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to remain calm, did not say a word, his right hand was horizontal in front of him, making a defensive posture, and his left hand quietly touched the spirit stone powder in his arms, and stepped back little by little.

Xiang Dong smiled slightly, and strode forward.

Zhang Feiyang didn't have time to react.

He had already hooked Xiang Dong with an arm around his neck.

I saw Xiang Dong smile and help him wipe the sweat beads from his forehead, and help him pat the dust off his clothes, and then let go of his hand and said, "Senior Brother Zhang." Why are you so nervous? I don't mean anything. Let's go. I just remembered something. You haven't been to the corpse department, you must have thought it was full of dead people and scary people, right? I'll show you around. ”

At this time, there were only two people on the mountain road, Zhang Feiyang and Xiang Dong, and the rest of the outer disciples were at least ten zhang away.

On this remote mountain road, Zhang Feiyang's thoughts rolled like seawater.

He didn't understand what Xiang Dong was thinking, but seeing that Xiang Dong had the opportunity to kill him just now but didn't do anything, and let go of his own life, he vaguely felt that maybe he was really mistaken.

That killer is not Xiang Dong.

With such thoughts, Zhang Feiyang's heart that he had been carrying was slightly relieved, and he followed Zhang Feiyang in the direction of the corpse transportation department.

But when he reached a fork in the road, there was a scene that surprised him.

Zhang Feiyang remembered that the corpse transport department should take the path to the south, but Xiang Dong took the path to the west.

He didn't know if Xiang Dong was a fool and made a mistake, so when he was deliberately at the fork in the road, he paused for a while, pretended to be tired and couldn't bear it, and offered to take a break and wait for Xiang Dong's reaction.

Really.

Xiang Dong's reaction was both natural and unnatural.

He smiled slightly, nodded, but let Zhang Feiyang rest on the spot, his eyes swept over another fork in the road that really led to the corpse transportation department, but there was no intention of correcting the error.

This move made Zhang Feiyang's heart, which had just relaxed, suddenly rise again and became more nervous.
