The red sun hides the mountain, dusk is approaching, and when the last touch of golden red on the horizon crosses the top of Daluo Mountain and scatters it on Lijiazhai, the bamboo house where Chu Zhanyan lives also wafts out a faint fragrance of medicine.

It may be because the age of the herbs is too short, and the medicinal fragrance is mixed with a slight smell of wet grass, which is not very unpleasant, but has a rare freshness when mixed together.

Inside the house, the gurgling sound in the medicine stove on the stove gradually became smaller, the young man took a rag and put it in the palm of his hand, carefully opened the lid, looked at the brown liquid that was still rolling in the furnace and the medicine residue that turned up from time to time, the serious eyebrows couldn't help but rise slightly, after a little hesitation, he took a pair of bamboo chopsticks, gently dipped some liquid medicine into his mouth, clicked his lips, and finally felt a little satisfied after tasting the familiar slightly cool and bitter.

Then the boy brought a wooden basin, covered the mouth of the furnace with a fence prepared in advance, poured all the liquid medicine into the basin with a loud noise, then put down the small stove, picked up the basin, opened the door, and sent it with both arms, and the liquid medicine that he had boiled for three hours flew into the cold wind in the white smoke and fell into the earth......

It's a lot like an idiot.

But Chu Zhanyan didn't need medicine, and those medicines themselves were not valuable, he only needed the remaining medicine residue.

"Master, if the old man knows that I do this, then the white fox tail dust is probably not able to be saved, but the senior brother should make up another one, the fox demon under the thousand-year-old Dao is still very easy to clean up, but it is not a matter after all, why don't the doctors in the world give themselves a side medicine to treat irritability? I remember that Sister Xiaoqing complained about the lack of broken tails when she had a secret tryst with her senior brother in the Mid-Autumn Festival, of course I didn't peek, in fact, I always plucked it with my senior brother, and Sister Xiaoqing of the province was embarrassed, and the bald pole and the banished Taoist still seem to be quite compatible......"

Pouring the dregs into the wooden basin, the boy rubbed vigorously while thinking indiscriminately, like a bored woman preparing to make dumplings with bread, the already broken dregs became even finer under his rubbing, and some stubborn rhizomes with excellent toughness were easily torn between the turns of his fingers, like the edge of a knife cutting through rice paper.

If there is a careful person lying on the edge of the basin at this time, you will find that Chu Zhanyan's hands are not directly in contact with those medicinal residues, the five fingers of the palms, each time they are half an inch apart, and every time they fall and lift, they seem to produce some kind of invisible air mass between the two, the air mass is wriggling, constantly squeezing and tearing those rhizomes, making those medicinal residues become thinner and thinner, more and more condensed and compact.

The bamboo house was very quiet, only the slight breathing of the young man and the small sound of the medicine residue churning, the bamboo house was very chaotic, the aura of heaven and earth was rolling like a dragon, majestic like a cloud running under the wind.

At a certain moment, the thumb nail of the young man's palm quietly rubbed the center of the middle finger path, and a drop of red blood like a jewel and was naturally torn into a red line by the surging aura, and was thrown into the dregs of the medicine, and it blended into it in the blink of an eye.

With the dripping of blood beads, Chu Zhanyan's expression gradually became serious, in the tiny world that was invisible to the naked eye, every grain of medicine residue was stained with a little breath of blood beads, and it didn't seem to have changed on the surface, but in fact, it had a terrifying power that was enough to reverse mortal life.

"Fingertip blood, not enough!"

A hint of hesitation flashed on the boy's serious cheeks, he knew the importance of the secret on his body, but ...... Starting from the heart, how can you know that you don't repay your kindness?

Therefore, Chu Zhanyan only hesitated for a moment, his thumb was upturned again, his four fingers were holding his little finger forward, and he drew a semicircle in the void in front of the door with a very round shape, and another red line rushed out from the center of his eyebrows, burrowing into the dregs that had been kneaded together.

The young man snorted, and his face instantly turned as pale as paper!

Blood from the eyebrows, blood from the fingertips, blood from the tips of the heart.

It is the lifeblood of cultivators, the things coveted by demons and evils, and if you lose a single thing, you will not lose more than the three realms!

If the scene in the bamboo hut is seen by other cultivators, maybe they will be shocked, scolding the young man for suffering from madness, actually using the lifeline as medicine, and breaking part of his luck.

If it is seen by the senior brother......

"Senior brother, even if he knows, he will definitely understand my intention to do this!"

Chu Zhanyan's face was snow-white, but his eyes were shining, like a candle flame on the table that was getting brighter and brighter, and his face still looked serious, but the slightly upturned corners of his mouth still exposed his heart,

He didn't feel that there was anything to lose by doing this, on the contrary, the young man at this time was very happy and comfortable.

"Knock knock!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, followed by Fang Jingya's crisp voice,

"I didn't raise my eyebrows, it's me, open the door. ”

"Oh, just come, wait!"

Chu Zhanyan grinned, fortunately he had just finished packing the medicine, otherwise he would probably have to ask again if he was seen by that girl, the Li people have been accompanied by the mountains for generations, not only tea, but also very proficient in all kinds of medicines, and he is such a nonsensical medicine residue placed there, which will inevitably arouse Fang Jingya's suspicions.

Standing up, a weak feeling of dizziness came, Chu Zhanyan only felt that his legs were a little weak, his head was a little heavy, the room seemed to be turning, and there was a tendency to get faster and faster, and he was alert that he was about to fall, so the young man subconsciously reached out and held the table on the side,

"Ping!"

With a bang, the copper candlestick was knocked to the ground, the red wax was instantly broken in two, the fire was extinguished instantly, and the room fell into darkness.

"Ahh

There was an exclamation outside the house, and then, the door of the bamboo house was slammed open, and Fang Jingya's somewhat flustered figure rushed into the house, and it was pitch black everywhere without seeing her fingers, so she had to look for it anxiously.

"Chu Zhanyan, Chu Zhanyan, what's wrong with you?"

"Shhh...... It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I forgot to put it back in the basin that washed my feet last night, and I got up too fast and didn't notice that I tripped and fell. ”

The sound of the young man's pain sounded in the darkness, as if the fall was not light, a ray of fire flashed, and the bamboo house was lit up again.

I saw Chu Zhanyan holding a lamp in one hand, covering his forehead with one hand and rubbing it constantly, lifting shoes with one foot, with one foot bare, a wooden basin buckled not far from the bed, and a candlestick poured on the ground.

Seeing that Chu Zhanyan was not a big deal, Fang Jingya breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily to him,

"Yes, you're lazy, it's really light. ”

As she spoke, she put a few bamboo tubes on the table, then walked over to pick up the upside-down candlesticks and the broken red wax, and naturally tidied up the room for the young man, and continued while busy,

"There are guests here today, all the elders in the village who are a little old have gone, and the people in the room are not idle during the day, I saw that you didn't go to eat, so I went to find some pot and spicy fish, by the way, there are a few pieces of bacon, I fried them with green garlic sprouts, and you will eat them while they are hot. ”

"Oh. ”

Chu Zhanyan responded, and hurriedly turned her back while the girl was busy tidying up the room, and rubbed a few handfuls on her face......

"What's wrong with you?"

Fang Jingya looked at him suspiciously, she always felt that Chu Zhanyan seemed to be a little abnormal today, although her face was ruddy, her expression was full of exhaustion, as if she had done farm work all day.

"It's nothing, maybe I just woke up and don't have the energy yet. ”

Chu Zhanyan smiled a little far-fetched, even if he lost two lifelines, even if he turned into a big demon in human form, it was impossible to say nothing, although he had a special physique, but his current cultivation had also declined to a realm, and the fluctuations were unstable, which also indirectly led to the aura riot in his body, and he felt sick and nauseated for a while.

"It can't be that the windows are not closed tightly and it is cold, do you? ”

Fang Jingya stretched out her hand with some worry, wanting to test the temperature of Chu Zhanyan's forehead.

"It's okay, I'm in good health!"

Chu Zhanyan was startled, and hurriedly raised his hand to grab Fang Jingya's hand.

Joke, if she is really beaten, even if she doesn't understand what is happening, she can definitely feel that something is abnormal, although this girl has ordinary qualifications, but she is afraid of people with high understanding, she can gather qi with just a copy of "Zhou Tian Detailed Explanation", and she must also know very well about the direction of the flow of breath, he doesn't want to expose his identity as a cultivator for the time being, and he doesn't want the other party to worry.
