After leaving the antique shop, Gu Qing didn't go home directly, he went to the pharmacy.

Gu Qing carefully examined the book of "Wang's Materia Medica" and found nothing unusual, so he burned the book, anyway, he had already understood and digested the content inside.

He opened the door of the pharmacy and made a potion in the inner courtyard that made the words invisible. If someone comes to buy medicine, his hearing and acuity are enough for him to detect it in advance.

And it would be suspicious to open a pharmacy and not do business. Since you do a play, then make a full set.

The ingredients of the potion on the envelope had already been analyzed by him, and the next step was to pinch the amount, which was not difficult for him. However, Gu Qing felt that his tools were a little rudimentary, and he felt more and more that he needed a secret room dedicated to medicine and researching all kinds of things.

This secret room is not suitable for a pharmacy, it is better to be at home.

Fortunately, the courtyard where he lived originally had a cellar, which could be transformed into a secret room. Before renovating the yard, there was no shortage of tools at home, Gu Qing could first make a mechanism to cover the cellar in the past two days, and as for the ventilation, drying, and various renovations in the back, it could be carried out slowly.

Of course, in addition to using various means to promote his cultivation, he also has another worry, and that is the whereabouts of the monster.

When will it come back?

Gu Qing remembered this matter in his heart, but he was not afraid of it. If the monster reappears, he believes that he will be able to solve it, and at the same time settle a matter of his heart.

An afternoon passed, and only two patients came to buy medicine, which was very much in line with Gu Qing's expectations. The fewer patients, the better, but not without.

Gu Qing also succeeded in making a potion.

After inspecting and dealing with the pharmacy, Gu Qing closed the door and left.

During this period, I didn't encounter yesterday's strange things.

It seems that the monster may not come to him today.

It shouldn't have recovered from its injuries last night. If the monster didn't appear tonight, Gu Qing could make a very likely judgment that the monster still had a clear mind and knew what was at stake.

If it loses its mind, for the sake of what it wants, it should find Gu Qing again regardless of it.

Monsters with sanity will be harder to deal with than monsters that have lost their minds.

However, if Gu Qing can catch it, he will have the opportunity to obtain the information he wants, such as the true origin of the Buddha statue and whether it has other functions and effects.

Gu Qing returned home and began to renovate the cellar.

Fortunately, only Xu Slowly's yard is adjacent to his courtyard, and Xu is slowly sick again, so he will not move over for the time being, so no one has noticed the movement of transforming the appearance of the cellar for the time being.

The back is an internal reconstruction, and it is not noticed.

For two days, as long as he was at home, Gu Qing fell into the work of renovating the secret room.

The exterior renovation has been completed, and only the details of the interior remain, which can be regarded as a long-term thing to do, and there is no need to rush it.

During this time, no monsters appeared.

But in the evening, Gu Qing saw Xu slowly.

She came alone, her face was still very pale, and she could see that she was recovering from a serious illness. Although she usually looks weak and weak, now she has a feeling that she will fall when the wind blows.

Xu slowly lifted his pockets, which contained clothes.

"Sorry to keep you waiting two more days. When Xu slowly handed over the clothes to Gu Qing, he blamed himself a little.

Gu Qing took the clothes and looked around, making sure that there was no one.

He said, "Miss Xu, the night you got sick, I was attacked by a monster. It looks a lot like a zombie. ”

Xu's expression slowly changed, but he didn't speak.

Gu Qing said: "You know it. ”

He didn't use an inquiring tone, but said very firmly.

Gu Qing's eyes stared at Xu slowly, and he had no intention of moving his gaze.

Xu slowly lowered his head at first, as if he couldn't stand it, and raised his head. Her eyes are clear, but they give people a feeling of indescribable sadness.

"I know. Xu slowly finally responded.

She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu slowly showed a reluctant smile and said, "I'm really not good at lying, Gu Gongzi, you don't seem to be fine, I'm actually very happy." ”

Gu Qing was a little surprised to see Xu Slowly's frank answer, but this showed that Xu Slowly was either too scheming, or she was really a girl who was neither hypocritical nor pretentious.

He neither believed in the former nor the latter, Gu Qing's judgment of Xu slowly from now on should be dynamically changing.

Gu Qing said: "That night, when it was escaping, I heard a strange sound of musical instruments, may I ask if you played it?"

Xu slowly pondered for a while, as if he had made some kind of determination, and then said, "Gu Gongzi, if you continue to understand, your fate will fall into an unpredictable situation. ”

Gu Qing said: "Everyone's fate is unpredictable. ”

Xu said slowly: "No, you should understand, most people know what he will do tomorrow. Some people think that this is a repetition day after day, very boring, very meaningless. Some people want to escape this repetition, while others feel that it is a kind of protection. Staying in a familiar situation will make you feel safe. Not everyone wants a sudden change in their lives. ”

Gu Qingdao said: "Do you like a life that is not changed?"

Xu said slowly: "I like to make clothes, listen to tunes, read novels, and taste delicious pastries. I'd rather live like this every day, but I can't. I heard Grandpa Fang talk about you. I have some envy of your life, from the day I saw you, I can feel the tranquility and indifference in you, which is what I envy. ”

Gu Qingxin said: "You're wrong, it's just numbness." ”

The past experience made him develop this kind of numbness, even if this life is different from the past, but that deep-rooted numbness is not easy to change.

Gu Qing tidied up the yard, hoping to dilute this numbness with the enthusiasm of life.

He said: "Everyone has something that others envy, for example, others also envy you...... It's good-looking. ”

Xu slowly blushed, and she said, "Thank you." ”

Gu Qing didn't want to continue the topic, and said, "I hope to thank me with the truth." ”

Xu sighed slowly and said, "Since you insist on wanting to know about this, then I'll tell you." You're a practitioner. ”

Gu Qing nodded, there was nothing to hide so far.

Xu said slowly: "Cousin too." You are all the same practitioners. And I'm not like you, even though I'm a little bit more capable than you think. ”

Gu Qing said: "Then what are you?"

Xu said slowly: "Psychic, I can hear, see, and feel many sounds, lights and shadows hovering in the void, and most importantly, I can communicate with the consciousness of those departed cultivators. We are abnormal human beings. ”

"We?" Gu Qing silently chewed on the meaning of these two words.
