Chapter 102: Cremation

In the "Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia" promulgated by the Immortals, Xuanyan fruit is a rare spiritual grass of three grades, which is pure and pure yang, and has the miraculous effect of dispelling yin and pulling out poison, it is a precious spiritual grass with a wide range of uses, and because of its detoxification characteristics, it is selected as the main ingredient by many kinds of detoxification elixir, and its value is extremely high on the market.

Among the several spirit grasses with detoxification effects that Shen Shi said before, almost all of them are first-grade and second-grade spirit grasses, only Xuanyan Fruit is a third-grade spirit grass and has the strongest detoxification effect, but this kind of spirit grass is indeed very rare, so Shen Shi originally didn't have much hope for it. It's just that he didn't expect that Xiao Hei gave him a big surprise.

At this moment, Shen Shi did not hesitate, directly grabbed the Xuanyan fruit and picked the fruit, broke Xiao Hei's mouth with one hand, and used the fingers of the other hand to pinch the flame-like fruit at once, and suddenly several clear juices flowed out, and when he touched the skin on Shen Shi's hand, there was actually a burning pain.

Shen Shi's brows furrowed slightly, but he knew that this was the special juice that the Xuanyan Fruit itself had, so he didn't move his wrist at all, first dripped all the juices into Xiao Hei's mouth, and then after hesitating for a moment, he also rubbed the remaining fruit and stuffed it into Xiao Hei's mouth, Xiao Hei's throat moved slightly, looking a little difficult, but he still swallowed the Xuanyan Fruit with difficulty.

In fact, this method of taking Xuanyan Fruit is too simple and crude, it is not a good method, if it is placed in the hands of a real high-level alchemist, finely ground and modulated, and supplemented by various already mature Danfang excipients to match with each other, the medicinal effect will be exerted to the extreme, and the detoxification elixir refined in this way will be at least four or five times more effective than the effect of eating Xuanyan Fruit raw like this. In fact, this is also the fundamental meaning of alchemy, a mature and high-level alchemist, can refine a variety of amazing elixirs, which is of great help to the monk's cultivation, and at the same time, some of the same herbs have been refined into pills by the alchemist, and their value will also multiply, and sometimes even reach more than ten times the astonishing level.

Of course, Shen Shi is also clear about the doorway, but at the moment, the situation is critical, and Xiao Hei's life is on the line, he can't care so much, so he can only let Xiao Hei take this Xuanyan Fruit and pray in his heart that this strange fruit spirit grass can get rid of the poison in it.

Shen Shi only felt that his heartbeat was gradually getting faster, but he knew in his heart that no matter how strong the effect of this medicine was, it would take a while for it to take effect, so at this moment, he could only kneel beside Xiao Hei, looking at it intently, waiting for the miracle he was expecting.

Time seems to pass very slowly, very slowly......

The scorching fire was tormenting in his heart like a burning fireball, and he didn't know how long it had been like this, but Shen Shi suddenly saw one of Xiao Hei's front feet twitch slightly.

Although this action was small, it was Xiao Hei's only move during this period of time, Shen Shi's heart jumped, and he was in shock, but he suddenly found that on Xiao Hei's face, the black blood that was originally oozing from his mouth, nose, and eyes actually stopped slowly.

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, and then a burst of joy surged into his heart, and his eyes lit up, obviously this is a sign that the Xuanyan Fruit has an effect on the poison, although Xiao Hei doesn't look very good, but obviously the Xuanyan Fruit is still effective against the poison in it.

In Shen Shi's joyful and expectant eyes, as time passed little by little, the effect of that Xuanyan fruit was gradually revealed, Xiao Hei's breathing began to increase, and the occasional small movements also became more powerful, and obviously its spirit began to improve, and later it even raised its head slightly, as if listening to something.

Shen Shi gently stretched out his hand and touched its head, Xiao Hei lay quietly, his head rubbed his palm slightly, just like the familiar appearance in the past.

※※※

About two hours later, Xiao Hei, who had been lying quietly, suddenly trembled, and jumped up from the ground, Shen Shi was taken aback, and then stood up and was about to appease it, when he saw Xiao Hei suddenly wow, spit out a large mouthful of black blood, and then another mouthful, like five times in a row, the black blood spit out was as thick as ink, and there was a strange smell like rotten and stinky mud.

After spitting out the black blood, Xiao Hei's body shook a few times, took a few steps back, and crooked as if his whole body was out of strength. Shen Shi's eyes were quick, he hugged it, walked to the clean forest a little farther away and sat down, and when he looked at Xiao Hei carefully, he found that although it looked like it was exhausted, but after spitting out the black blood, his expression was suddenly new, and the original wilting color was also gone, and the most important thing was that after this moment, Xiao Hei's eyes, which were originally soaked in black blood like ink, were slowly opened again.

The darkness drifted away.

The world is back to light.

Grass and trees, peaks and forests, back in front of you, and of course that smiling familiar face.

The little black pig looked at Shen Shi, and the little pig's head looked left and right several times, and then snorted lowly.

Shen Shi laughed, relieved and happy, patted its head lightly with his hand, took a deep breath, and then said softly: "Okay, it's okay." ”

Xiao Hei lay quietly beside Shen Shi, snuggled up to his body and soon fell into a deep sleep, perhaps because he was too tired, or because he was exhausted from many battles and battles, until this little black pig finally completely put his mind at ease, it seemed that only by Shen Shi's side could it really not care about any danger at all, and just sleep peacefully.

In its sleep, it seems to have a happy smile.

So dusk, so evening, so dark and starry sky, starlight fell to the world, and the mountain wind could not wake up the pig's dream. It just slept and fell asleep merrily and peacefully until the night passed, until dawn, until the morning light fell, until a new day began again.

It woke up from the dream, opened its eyes and looked around, there was grass and trees, wind and mountains and the master, it stood up, shook its body and moved a little, ran back and forth two steps and jumped, and then hummed, like a new spirit pig, and even in the blink of an eye, it suddenly had a spirit grass in its mouth, and then smiled and chewed happily.

How wonderful a new day it looks!

※※※

Shen Shi's mood is also good, he found the lost Xiao Hei and pulled it back from the ghost door closed again and again, this relief is really indescribable, and even when he recalls yesterday's scene, he will be faintly afraid in the depths of his heart, as long as he comes one step late or does not have the Xuan Yan Fruit, I am afraid that what is in front of him will be another unacceptable situation.

But after the relief, there are some things that are not pleasant, but they have to be done.

The corpses of wild boars were pulled up and down the hillside, and the corpses of wild boars were pulled to an open field, and the stench of black blood soaked a large area of land here, and the weeds, thorns, and trees that once grew on this soil would soon wither and die, and then no grass would grow for many years.

The carcasses of wild boars are piled up like a hill, these wild boars who have changed their lives in just over a month, followed behind a black pig king, changed the fate of the ancestors of the previous generation who were oppressed and slaughtered, captured and hunted, stood proudly in this forest, and drove away all the wild boars whose enemies established themselves as the kings of this mountain and forest, and they have lost their lives at this moment.

Shen Shi silently stacked the carcasses of wild boars together, occasionally looking back at Xiao Hei, and then went to the forest next to him to cut a lot of branches and firewood, and piled them next to the carcasses of these wild boars.

All the while, Blackie had been standing quietly on top of the big rock on the hillside, his favorite spot in the past, watching the dead boars below. The mountain breeze blew through its body with a bit of coolness, no roar, no roar, no anger and no more expression, it just stood there quietly alone, quietly watching everything below.

Is everything like a dream?

A beautiful but easy to wake up dream.

Just as all the good things in the world are as fragile as a mirror, between breaths, after the blink of an eye, it is the time to wake up from the dream.

Shen Shi dropped the last handful of firewood, stood up straight, and then looked back at the big stone again, Xiao Hei seemed to know something, his body seemed to tremble slightly, but he still stood quietly on the high stone, motionless.

Shen Shi sighed softly, raised his right hand, and suddenly the air seemed to appear a little blurry in the void around his palm, and a moment later, a burning ring of fire surrounded his arm, slowly appearing.

Five Elements Spell • Flame Technique.

Then he waved his arm, and the circle of fire flew up into the air steeply, turning into dozens of fireballs burning in the wind, and then falling in different directions, right in the middle of the many firewood branches and leaves that surrounded the carcasses of wild boars, and suddenly, dozens of fires were ignited at the same time, and the fire quickly ignited and connected together, and soon formed a huge fire, which annihilated and burned the many wild boar carcasses like a hill.

The flames lit up the surroundings, making the plants and trees that were closer begin to scorch and wither, and at the same time reflected Shen Shi's face, he took a few steps back, and after thinking about it, he went and dragged the corpses of the three monks of the Mountain Bear Hall over, and threw them directly into the big fire, and after leaving the spirit crystal, he also threw all the items that belonged to them, including the little man's storage bag, into the sea of fire.

The tongue of fire writhed wildly, devouring everything, Shen Shi narrowed his eyes slightly for a moment, then turned around and walked back to the big rock.

Xiao Hei was still standing here, except for silence or silence, Shen Shi stared at it for a long time, but sighed slightly, turned his head, and didn't say anything, just sat quietly with it, looking at the fire on the hillside.

The flames burned from early morning to noon, and the fire began to weaken, and when all the corpses turned into nothingness, it was as if the past time had been extinguished.

Xiao Hei slowly lowered his head, as if he was remembering something, and seemed to be whispering silently, then he turned around, walked to Shen Shi's side, and looked up at him.

There was gentleness and dependence in his eyes.

Shen Shi patted his ass and stood up, touched Xiao Hei's head, and said softly:

"Let's go, let's go home. ”

※※※

When they went down the mountain, neither one nor a pig spoke, they walked quietly in the forest like this, as if the fire just now was still burning in front of their eyes, but when walking somewhere in the forest, Shen Shi was about to walk in the direction of the mountain, Xiao Hei bit the hem of his shirt and trousers, and barked at him softly, as if signaling Shen Shi to follow it, and then walked in another direction.

At the edge of the deep forest in front of us, another towering mountain stood, and a few beast roars from an unknown place were faintly heard from the depths of the mountain range.
