Chapter 14: There Are People in the Lake
Yu Xiao moved a stool and placed it next to the stove, stood on the stool, looked through the lid of the jade pot, and looked effortlessly inside the stove.
The heat and white mist drifted out from the edge of the lid, but the spirit grass was still being refined smoothly.
Originally, refining medicine after the foundation building period, and putting a trace of divine sense in the Dan furnace, you could know the exact timing of the refining of the spirit grass, but Yu Xiao felt that this was okay, and he had already thought that when he matched the lid to the Black Hell Ding in the future, it would be equipped with a transparent and convenient observation, so that the Qi refining period could also be alchemized.
After waiting for the main medicine to be refined, add the next flavor of spirit grass according to the dosage until all the spirit grass is added, and then wait for half an hour for the spirit grass liquid to fuse.
Yu Xiao controlled a column of water and looked nervously at the inside of the furnace, preparing to quench the elixir with water after it was refined.
The water here is a spiritual spring containing aura, so it should work well.
The Dan furnace suddenly began to shake, almost knocking over the afterglow that had pressed his face against the lid.
The lid throbbed violently, almost being swept open by the heat of the Dan furnace.
Yu Xiao pressed the lid tightly, and with a wave of his hand, the spiritual spring poured down the lid and flowed down the Dan furnace.
The sound of "sizzling" was incessant, and the entire food hall was shrouded in white mist.
Yu Xiao was afraid of being scalded by the steam, so he had already stepped back a little, and he couldn't see where the furnace was located, and the sound seemed to stop shaking.
She fanned the white mist with her hands, and slowly approached the furnace with her eyes open.
"Boom!"
The entire Biyun Peak trembled, and a flock of kingfishers flew up from the mountain peak in shock.
All the people heard the loud noise and ran out to watch.
It didn't look like thunder, and I thought it was a vision caused by someone knotting Jindan, but the sky was cloudless, and there was no movement after a sound.
Only a few people saw that something seemed to fly out of Jixiang's kitchen.
Yu Xiao's hair was messy, the black ash and sweat on his face had turned into mud, half of his clothes were destroyed by the fire, and the remaining half was rubbed with soot. She ran wildly towards the back mountain.
Before she could find out where the furnace was, she heard a loud noise, and her ears rang for a while, and the roof collapsed, and she ran out of the food house, only to see the shadow of the black dingding, and flew towards the back mountain.
In addition to the spiritual grass field, there is also a small lake in the back mountain.
The spiritual grass fields are all planted with spiritual vegetables and spiritual grass, and they are strictly guarded. If Hei Ying Ding fell into the field and crushed the spirit grass, his leg might be broken again.
Fortunately, the Black Stygian flew towards the small lake. Yu Xiao heard the sound of falling water from afar, relieved, and walked to the lake and was stunned.
The Black Stygian Ding was not far from the shore, and it fell obliquely into the water, with the Ding as the center of the ripples.
There was a white-flowered man in the lake, floating face down on the water, his body rippling with the waves. Judging by the body type, it should be a man.
Yu Xiao hid behind the trees on the shore for a long time, and the man kept floating like that.
She saw a few pieces of clothing scattered on the bluestone on the shore, not Yunmomen's door clothes, and a little gorgeous.
Yu Xiao's legs were numb, and he moved his feet carefully. The man's whole face was in the water, a normal person can't hold his breath for so long, is it a dead person.
My heart jumped suddenly, it couldn't be that this person happened to be bathing in the lake and was killed by his own stove.
"This fellow Daoist?" Yu Xiao looked around at no one and shouted, but the person didn't respond.
She picked up another stone and threw it at the man. The stone hit the man just and bounced into the water, "plopping".
The man didn't move.
Yu Xiao picked up a long branch, walked closer, and poked the man. Finally he went into the water and turned the man over.
It was indeed a male corpse, his eyes closed, and the wound on his forehead was soaked in water, and the edges were white.
The blood, which had been washed away by the water, was now flowing out again, mixed with the water on the face, wisps of it.
It seems that he just died.
There is a red and black pattern on the left chest of the male corpse, like a tattoo, exactly the same as the pattern of the black mortal. If you look closely, the wound on the forehead is also a little patterned.
Sure enough, he was stoned to death by the Black Stygian Ding, and I am afraid that the sternum will be broken.
Yu Xiao's hand shook, and after destroying the evidence of the crime, he turned over the male corpse again, and ran towards the Black Stygian Ding.
The black stygian was stuck in the mud, and it took some effort for her to pull it out, and she didn't care that it was still dripping, so she put the mud into the storage bag and climbed to the shore with a rolling belt.
The doorclothes, which were originally burned out, were covered with water and mud, making them even more dirty.
She couldn't care so much, she just wanted to leave the murder scene quickly, and before leaving, she looked back at the male corpse.
The male corpse floated on the surface of the water like a weed.
Yu Xiao didn't go far before running back quickly. She thought that if the body was found, it would not leave a handle for people, and decided to bury the body.
She pretended to see a man's corpse for the first time, and shouted, "Ah, there's someone in the water!"
Although there was no one, she shouted a few more times: "Daoyou?" Then she went into the water to catch the man's corpse, threw her hand ashore, and covered him with clothes indiscriminately.
"It's not me who killed you, it's your own bad luck, it's not good where to take a bath, but you have to come to the lake in the back mountain. ”
Yu Xiao was very nervous in his heart, and his mouth kept muttering, holding a long sword and digging quickly in the soil.
After poking the earth apart with her long sword, she put the sword aside, picked up a tile-like stone, and kept digging it, and soon dug a man-long pit.
Behind her, the male corpse sat up silently, touched the long sword that Yu Xiao put aside, and just got it in his hand, Yu Xiao turned around.
She wanted to see the size of the man's corpse before deciding whether to widen the pit.
The two stared at each other for a moment.
"Ahh
The stone is in the middle of the forehead of the male corpse.
Old wounds added new wounds, the male corpse didn't blink his eyelids, half of his face was bleeding, he held a sword in his hand, and his expression of anger was like a demon running out of hell.
The demon looked at the dust raised behind Yu Xiao, who was gone, and plunged his sword into the dirt.
Yu Xiao returned to Jixiang's kitchen in a panic, and Cui Xingping had already led people to wait in the courtyard.
Since he came to Biyun Peak, in addition to purchasing, he has also pointed fingers at other things, and he regards himself as the chief manager.
Du Niang also tossed with him, he just did these chores if he liked, and he was idle and made time for cultivation.
"What's going on?" Cui Xingping asked in the same tone as the little medicine boy of the Alchemy Hall.
"Senior Brother Cui, I'm experimenting with a new dish for the master. Yu Xiao was in a mess and just wanted to clean it quickly.
"You blew up the house, what new dishes are you experimenting with? You don't want to harm the boss again, do you?" Cui Xingping pointed to the half-collapsed food place, spitting stars.
"Salty and eat turnips. Senior Brother Cui, do you want to eat? Haven't you already eaten enough?" Yu Xiao was already restless and irritable.
