Chapter Thirty-Six: The Golden Pill of Huoyao
Before Lishuyu's pair of autumn water could be seen through completely, Qi Feng finally stepped into the gate of Zixiao Palace again.
Different from the previous personable, elegant and calm, he came in an extremely hurry this time, and after handing over the new clothes and snacks he brought to Li Shuyu, he simply explained a few words and prepared to leave without even eating.
"Hey!" Li Shuyu grabbed him, and said with some grievances: "I know you must have something more important, but let's have a meal first, even if it's just a few bites, let me look at you a few more times......"
Qi Feng's heart softened instantly, and he held Li Shuyu's small hand that was tightly holding his sleeve, and said with some apologies: "Okay." ”
Li Shuyu trotted to get the food and a pot of good wine that he had exchanged for from a certain immortal monarch with camel mountain jade, and brought it to Qi Feng as a treasure, flicking the nine big tails that came out and asked nervously: "You taste it quickly, see if this wine tastes good?"
Qi Feng stared at her big sparkling eyes for a while, and her originally gloomy mood finally cleared up a lot, and she couldn't help but chuckle: "Zixiao Zhenjun never drinks alcohol except for wine banquets, where did you get this wine?"
"I exchanged the camel mountain jade from the fairy boy in Zhong Miao's Xianjun Palace, he said that Xianjun has always drunk this wine, I thought that the wine that Xianjun drank would definitely not be bad, so I exchanged it for a pot and waited for you to drink it when you came. ”
Li Shuyu pushed the wine glass and urged him: "Drink quickly, drink quickly." ”
"Good. Qi Feng was amused by her, shook her head dotingly, took a sip of the wine glass, raised her eyebrows and said, "It's really good." ”
"That's right, right!" Li Shuyu suddenly smiled, jumped happily on the stone table, and urged him: "Then you drink more, and I will go to him next time to change." ”
Qi Feng didn't continue to drink, he put down the wine glass, stretched out his right hand to cover Li Shuyu's head, and said softly: "When this matter is resolved, I will take you back to Qishan." ”
Returning to Qishan means that Lishuyu's existence will be made public, and it also means that Qifeng has made up her mind to give her a decent identity. It stands to reason that Li Shuyu should be supremely happy at the moment, but not only did she not see any joy on her face, but also showed uneasiness and worry that could not be concealed.
"I'm not going. She shook her head, bit her lip and said a little stubbornly: "You are the next master of the Pilgrimage Palace, I don't want you to fall out with the family because of me." ”
"Just take you back, and you won't necessarily fall out. Qi Feng comforted her: "Although Qishan doesn't like to marry with foreigners, Xinchen and Ao Shu have a marriage contract, and Luolin is not a phoenix, so they have no reason not to allow you." ”
Li Shuyu opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but saw Qi Feng get up suddenly, swept away Fang Cai's patience and softness, and said coldly: "The situation is urgent, I have to go." ”
Although Li Shuyu couldn't hear it, she guessed that someone must have sent a contact, and she couldn't continue to keep it, so she had to put the unfinished pot of wine into the wine gourd and hang it on Qifeng's belt, and said with a forced smile: "Go, when you're done, you must come to see me immediately." ”
Qi Feng pinched her chin slightly, and disappeared from her eyes in a blink of an eye.
In the small courtyard, there was only Li Shuyu and a table of almost untouched food, Li Shuyu sat down at the table, silently picked up the rice, and fell into tears while eating.
It happened that Qiuchen was ordered by the master to carry a small alchemy furnace to her, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she saw her crying and eating at the same time, so she immediately took back her feet that were about to cross the threshold, and tiptoed away with her breath, and ran to Zixiao Zhenjun to make a small report.
In the evening, Li Shuyu was sitting in the courtyard boredly helping Bi Yan peel peanuts, and Zixiao Zhenjun personally came over with the alchemy stove.
"Master. ”
Li Shuyu hurriedly got up, patted the peanut crumbs on his body, and was busy looking for a teacup to pour water for Zixiao Zhenjun. Zixiao Zhenjun raised his hand to signal that he didn't have to, and said in a harmonious voice: "Don't be busy Yu'er, sit down and talk to Master." ”
Li Shuyu immediately stopped looking for the teacup and sat down on the stool obediently.
"Qi Feng Shangxian has been here today?"
Li Shuyu stiffened for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.
"It's hard for him, he can still squeeze out time to see you at this juncture. ”
"Broken eyes?" Li Shuyu's heart instantly rose to his throat, clenched his hands and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
"Originally, Qi Feng Shangxian told me not to say it, but being kept in the dark made you even more worried, and after thinking about it, I still think it is better to tell you directly. Zixiao Zhenjun put the alchemy furnace on the table, thought for a moment and said: "There are three wolf kings pursued by the immortals, the one in the demon world and the one in the south of the human world have all fallen into the demon and lost their minds, and have been disposed of by the Ao Qi Immortal and the Luoqi Immortal, only the silver wolf leader who was hunted by the Qifeng Immortal is still clear-minded, and he said something terrible before he died. ”
Li Shuyu couldn't help but swallow her saliva and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
"The Demon King Sleeveless had lured him to practice forbidden arts many years ago, and deceived the Silver Wolf Ancient Tooth left by the ancestor of the Silver Wolf Clan. This tooth can be refined into the Guardian of the Ten Thousand Hosts, and as a contract medium, he will make a death contract with the Silver Wolf Clan, and from then on, the Silver Wolf Clan will have to become his puppet for him to deploy at will. ”
"Wan Jun listens to the ministers?" Li Shuyu was confused: "What is this?"
"Even though it has long been banned by the Three Realms, there are still countless people yearning for an evil magic weapon. The refiner takes the contract token of the fairy demon clan and refines it into the talisman, and then he can send it at will, which can be said to be omnipotent. The first to refine this magic weapon was the Feng Clan's founding ancestor Qi Sundial, who vainly tried to command the Three Realms through this magic weapon, but he also angered Tianwei and became the only immortal who was sealed by the heavens forever throughout the ages. ”
Zixiao Zhenjun's expression was extremely solemn, and the fingers resting on the table tapped lightly, and said in a deep voice: "For so many years, the Feng clan has been extremely taboo against Qi Zhi and Wan Jun Listening to the Talisman, and this move without sleeves has undoubtedly touched the bottom line of the Feng Clan, and it is only a matter of time before the two sides go to war." However, Sleeveless is the Demon King, and there is always a sufficient reason to start a war, and the testimony of the Wucheng side alone is not enough to prove the guilt of Sleeveless, so during this time, Qifeng Shangxian contacted other Shangxian families, and is inquiring about Sleeveless's traces day and night, investigating whether there are other fairy demon groups who have been deceived by him. ”
Li Shuyu was worried when she heard it, although she guessed that it would not be a good thing, but she didn't expect the situation to be so serious. Her brows furrowed, her hands resting on her lap stirred uneasily, her mind spinning rapidly, trying to find even the slightest way to help Qi Feng.
Zixiao Zhenjun saw what was on her mind, and was afraid that she would cause some trouble on the spur of the moment, so he hurriedly added: "The sleeveless sin is unforgivable, the immortals will not sit idly by, and it will be a matter of time before he is punished, you don't have to worry so much." ”
After speaking, seeing that Li Shuyu's expression did not loosen at all, he had to say helplessly: "I thought it would make it easier for you to tell you, who wants to teach you to worry more, I see that you will only think cranky when you stay in Zixiao Palace, it is better to go back to Camel Mountain first, let Xi'er teach you to practice and cultivate, and put these things aside for the time being." ”
Zixiao Zhenjun knocked on the small alchemy furnace, and the furnace immediately opened, he took out a golden pill with a shining divine light from it and handed it to Li Shuyu, and said kindly: "This is the Tianji Fire Yao Pill, if you take it before cultivating, it will be helpful for replenishing qi and condensing the pill." ”
Previously, what Li Shuyu got were some Xinglin Dan that healed or nourished the body, and the Xinglin Dan brothers had a handful, and she also took it with peace of mind, but this one is different, Jin Dan is considered to be the top grade in the pill, especially this kind of Jin Dan that is refined by the small furnace alone, and it is a treasure among the top grades, which makes her cheeky and embarrassed to accept it.
"Master, this elixir is too precious for the apprentice to accept. ”
"Of course you can accept it, it's better to say that this elixir was originally entrusted by your sister and brother-in-law to refine it for you alone. ”
"Sister?" Li Shuyu was confused: "When will they ......?"
"The last time I went to visit Xi'er in Camel Mountain, before leaving, your sister and brother-in-law sent a lot of rare medicinal materials for the teacher, although they didn't say it directly, but the teacher can also find that two-thirds of them are materials for refining the Tianji Fire Yao Pill, and many of them can't even find the source for the teacher. Zixiao Zhenjun stuffed the golden pill into Li Shuyu's hand, and said with emotion: "Presumably, after learning about your relationship with Qifeng Shangxian, I am afraid that you will be bullied by the Qishan clan, and I hope that you can achieve something in cultivation, at least you can protect yourself." ”
Li Shuyu's heart jumped, and he didn't care about the incomparably precious golden pill in his hand, and asked with a stalk in his throat: "Master, you ...... You also ......"
"Qi Feng Shangxian was already aware of it when he entrusted you to Zixiao Palace as a teacher, and besides, we have always been friends, so naturally he will not hide anything from me. Yu'er, he really wants to bring you back to Qishan. ”
"But...... But ......" Li Shuyu was so anxious that she wanted to cry: "Qishan can't tolerate me, Ah Feng is the next master of the Pilgrimage Palace, the leader of the Feng clan, he loves his family and people so much, I don't want him to quarrel with my family for me, let alone let him be caught between me and my clansmen." ”
"Yu'er, ah......" Zixiao Zhenjun patted her head with some distress, and sighed: "Just as you love him and think about him everywhere, he also wants to give you an honor, hoping to give you a legitimate identity and let you stand by his side in a dignified manner." If you cannot be of the same mind with him and do not want to walk with him, how can you cross the thorny road and keep the clouds open and see the moon?"
The last few words were like a hammer slammed into Lishuyu's heart, and she suddenly figured out some long-ago-tangled questions, and a trace of courage sprouted in her heart.
Qishan is terrifying, but as long as Qifeng accompanies her, what is there to fear on the thorny road?
"I see, Master. ”
Li Shuyu raised his head and swallowed Jin Dan, his eyes were unprecedentedly firm: "I will go back to Camel Mountain today, even if it is for Ah Feng, I must make myself strong." ”
