The difficulty of formulating the potion was much more complicated than I had imagined, and it was simply dizzying for a layman. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the First Battle of Shuitan, almost all the medicines and herbal materials of various sects were sent to the Shaobai Dao people. The Seven Great Sects gathered in the Kunlun Sect, as a martial arts sect located in the Western Regions, the understanding of poisonous insects and beasts in the Western Regions is better than that of other sects, and at the same time, it is logical to take on the responsibility of healing. However, this time in the Death Swamp, although there are many healing herbs and insect repellent and insecticidal herbs brought by the Shaobai Dao people, the herb materials that have not been prepared into medicine are really pitiful. That's also because the Seven Great Sects are aiming to eradicate the Immortal Hall and fight with people, and there are always casualties that cannot be avoided, and the healing medicine brought is also an finished medicine, and no one thought that this time it would be prepared into medicine. And now, even the over-the-counter medicine that I brought with me doesn't seem to be of much use.

For the whole morning, Su Qingyao and I stayed in the medical tent to help Shaobai Daoren grind the herb materials. The Death Swamp is a land of good materials and medicines, this is understandable, the rare herbs and trees picked by the Xuanmu Daoist and the Weideng Dao people yesterday were piled up in the Shaobai Dao people's medical tent, according to Jiang Shun, these picked herbs are only grown in the hills west of our position, and we can pick more if we go far. Among this pile of herbs, there are many eye-catching and strange medicinal herbs. There are flowers that look like a black flame, this is called Yin Evil Flower, Shaobai Daoist told me that although this kind of flower grows ugly, but it has a refreshing and eye-catching miracle effect; there are short wooden branches with stem and green like emerald, and there are small silver spotted flowers on it, this is the star flower blue snail, the appearance is good-looking, but it is a grass and tree that can make people's stomach fester; there are two yellow grasses that are very similar to human feet, called the foot up, and have the effect of detoxifying and descaling; and some are even more peculiar, there are round and purple crystal fruits, and there are red stones scattered like broken silver. In short, these picked plants and trees are all kinds and varied, and they are dazzling to see, maybe such plants and trees are valuable and priceless outside, but now they are all piled up in the corner of the medical tent of the Shaobai Dao people, like a pile of discarded products from the vegetable field. If you just look at it, these plants and trees are indeed pleasing to the eye, but the preparation of medicine requires fine grinding and trying to mix and match after grinding. Grinding these plants and trees is also quite particular, the force on the wooden pestle should be properly grasped, some can not use too much force, and to grind the wooden pestle in one direction, and some need to make the force a little larger and the grinding speed can not be slow. The most troublesome thing is that the two herbs must be mixed together to grind, and the amount of the two herbs must be accurately grasped and not deviated in the slightest, otherwise the medicinal properties of the mixture will change.

In any case, it is not easy to formulate a pharmaceutical agent.

When it was near noon, I stopped what I was doing, looked at the herbs in the stone mortar that had been crushed into powder by me, and felt a sigh of emotion in my heart. It was indeed very laborious to grind these rare herbs, and compared to them, the master's previous practice of casually chopping and throwing them into the Dan furnace when refining the Great Tonic Pill was really shoddy.

I picked up the stone mortar, walked to the desk, and said, "Senior, this is the red stone powder that the junior has just grinded." ”

Jiang Shun and I were grinding plants and trees on the ground, while Su Qingyao and Shaobai Daoren were trying to mix and match, and the two of them were lying next to the desk, which was filled with dozens of white porcelain bowls containing colorful powders and liquids. The bowl containing my blood was also on the desk, and after being put into a crystal blue grass by the Shaobai Daoist, the blood has not yet coagulated. At first, I was surprised that it could delay the coagulation time of blood, but now I don't feel anything, and my heart is only magical to say that the grass and trees are magical.

Shaobai Daoren took the stone mortar in my hand, poured the red powder in the stone mortar into a new porcelain bowl, handed the stone mortar to me, and said with a smile: "Okay, Gu Xiaoyou, don't grind the herbs anymore, bring the candle flame for me." ”

Since I bled into the bowl, Shaobai Daoren's attitude towards me has changed a lot, and now he has changed his name to call me "Gu Xiaoyou", which is much more cordial than calling me Shaoxia. I hurriedly answered, put down the stone mortar and went to fetch the oil lamp.

There were three or four oil lamps lit in the medical tent, and there was one on the desk next to the porcelain jar, so close that I could reach it. I put the oil lamp in the corner of the desk in front of the two of them, and said, "Senior, what do you want the candle flame for?"

Su Qingyao, who was pouring the yellow powder from the porcelain bowl in his hand into the other porcelain bowl on the desk, said without raising his head: "Some materials need to be blended with another material at the right temperature. ”

I didn't seem to understand, and said, "Isn't it the same as alchemy?"

Su Qingyao poured half of the yellow powder in the bowl, stopped his hand and said: "This is different from alchemy, the preparation of medicinal herbs is aimed at understanding the herbs and trees, and the balanced amount can control the medicinal properties, which is the preparation work done before alchemy." I wonder if I'm right to say that, Shaobai?"

I couldn't laugh or cry a little, he was serious, but in the end, he asked Shaobai Daoren. Shaobai Daoren rolled up his sleeves and said: "Alchemy is the process of extracting essence, fusing medicinal properties, removing pollution and impurities, and you can master the heat, time, and changes in the weather. Before alchemy, it is necessary to choose materials for preparation, if there is a pill formula, alchemy will be much easier, and the herbs required for preparation are clear. If there is no Dan formula, it will take a lot of effort to try to prepare it like this. ”

At this time, Jiang Shun came over with a stone mortar and said with a smile: "This kind of thing is cumbersome and time-consuming, but fortunately, it is a young white person, and I don't know if I change the person who can make a medicine in the Year of the Monkey." ”

I looked at the dozens of porcelain bowls on the desk, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know if it's too late." ”

With so many herbs mixed and matched, it is necessary to carefully grind and grasp the quantity and medicinal properties, and if you are not careful, you have to start over again, but this one will take too long. Now that the bodies of the hundred disciples outside have changed, I am afraid that the red rash on their bodies will rupture if they don't pass today.

Shaobai Daoren took the stone mortar in Jiang Shun's hand, sighed, and said, "It's a bit cumbersome and time-consuming, but now it's the only way to do it." ”

I hope it's time, I thought silently. I was about to get some herbs to grind, but I saw Sanyan suddenly open the curtain and look into the tent. When he saw me and Su Qingyao, he immediately walked in, first hugged Shaobai Daoren and Jiang Shun, and said, "Juniors meet Shaobai seniors, Jiang seniors." Then he turned his head to look at Su Qingyao and me, and said, "Mr. Su, Brother Gu, the owner of the village has called you to come over." ”

Su Qingyao stopped and said, "The people from the Immortal Hall are here?"

Three-Eyes said: "Not yet, but a lot of people have gathered on the other side of the waterhole." ”

If the Three Eyes hadn't come, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to remember the alliance between the Immortal Hall and the Seven Great Sects. Su Qingyao nodded and said, "Shaobai, then we will leave first, and after the matter of joining forces is finalized, we will help you prepare the potion." ”

That's a bit polite. In fact, with the Dan Dao and Yidao of the Shaobai Dao people, it is not difficult to prepare medicinal herbs and try to mix and match, and it is not difficult to complete it alone, and with Jiang Shun's help, it is insignificant whether there is me and Su Qingyao to help.

After saying goodbye to Shaobai Dao and Jiang Shun, when we walked out of the medical tent, it was already bustling outside, and the disciples of the Kunlun sect were nervously gathering. Indeed, the two ways of fire and water are incompatible, this is already a well-known thing in the rivers and lakes, and joining forces is unprecedented, and now joining forces is just afraid that everyone will not dare to take it lightly. I was a little nervous too.

By the time we reached the waterhole, there were already many children of various sects gathered on the shore of the waterhole, and they lined up in a long line from north to south, and people were still joining behind the team one after another. After all, there are still more than 8,000 disciples of the Seven Great Sects, and with so many people standing by the waterhole, the scene is indeed very big.

In front of the team, seven heads of the team, including Master Benkong and Tianyi Chang, stood on the shore, looking at the other side of the waterhole, and behind the seven people were Luo Renshan, Miao Jisong, Cheng Fuhai and other high-level leaders of the major forces in the rivers and lakes, and then behind them were a group of heads of small and medium-sized sects. Among them, I saw the Xuantie Gate and the Central Plains, but the place where they stood was a bit remote from the place where the head of the Seven Great Sects stood.

As soon as we arrived at Cheng Fuhai, we saluted him, and Su Qingyao said, "Master, what is the movement of the people in the Immortal Hall?"

Cheng Fuhai's face was flat, and he said: "The Immortal Hall sent someone to spread the word, saying that the pond is discussing the matter of joining forces, and Benkong and Tianyi are waiting here." ”

The people of the Immortal Hall are still very taboo on our side, right?

I looked across the waterhole. At this time, the sun was shining, and the fog in the night had dissipated, and we could clearly see the people of the Immortal Hall in the waterhole opposite.

Negotiate across the waterhole, that is, Fang Wenwen wants everyone to hear this discussion? This is also a safe way. The two realms of righteousness and demons have been opposed since ancient times, even if they join forces, no one can guarantee that there will be another incident after joining forces, and there is always something to be cautious of, I am afraid that even if the Immortal Hall does not propose to discuss the pool, the master of the sky and the head of the sky will also take a safe way to negotiate.

But I don't know why, at this moment, I'm a little secretly worried about the people from the Immortal Hall. The Seven Great Sects have run out of food here, the situation is precarious, and if they continue to be entangled with the Immortal Hall, they are afraid that they will eventually be unable to escape death, and this is clear to Master Benkong and Tianyi in their hearts better than anyone else. However, what is the situation on the other side of the Immortal Hall, we still don't know anything, Fang Wen pointed out the passage and proposed to open the way first, it is undoubtedly a big step, is it really desperate, now just to escape from the swamp of death?

I thought a little dizzy, and there were whispers of chatter from the crowd around me, most of which were similar to what I thought.

At this moment, a scream was heard in the distance in the valley. The fish-headed monster probably also noticed that the two of us were gathering by the waterhole, and when the earth shook slightly, hundreds of fish-headed monsters appeared at the mouth of the valley. From our place, we can only see the scene at the mouth of the valley, but we can't see it further inside, and we don't know if the valley is already crawling with fish-headed monsters at this time, and the two thousand feet of high mountains at the mouth of the valley block almost all of our sight.

After our side was assembled, only a moment later, when the sound of the fish-headed monster in the valley continued to rise, Fang Wenwen's voice suddenly came from the opposite side of the waterhole: "Benkong, Tianyi, I don't know how your Seven Great Sects discussed the matter of joining forces mentioned by my Immortal Hall?"

His voice was calm, neither high nor high, but it came clearly to the ears of each of us, and our side immediately fell silent, and our eyes turned to the other side of the waterhole. But seeing Master Benkong looking at the other side of the waterhole with his hands behind his back, his voice sounded calmly: "If we can protect my decent disciples of the Seven Great Sects from this difficulty, we are willing to join forces." It's just that Master Fang is willing to take the lead and open the way with his body, and the old man wants to take the liberty of asking, how did you get the way, and how did you get into the Divine Dragon Cave?"

Master Benkong's words are a meaningful sentence, not only for Fang Jingwen, but also for the children of the Seven Great Sects. I only heard Fang Wen's laughter, and said, "Since my Immortal Hall took the lead in proposing to join forces with your Seven Great Sects, I will be free to lead the way, and I will be responsible for it, and you will be optimistic." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw two figures suddenly fly out of the formation of the Immortal Hall and go straight to the north bank of the waterhole. The distance is a little far, and I can't see who they are, but I can still see that the light skills of these two people are extremely exquisite, and their bodies are as light as apes in a few ups and downs, and they only run to the north bank of the waterhole in a moment, and they are about ten zhang away from the mouth of the valley.

The two of them stood side by side at the mouth of the valley, and suddenly a monstrous scream erupted in the valley, and I felt that the earth trembled slightly, and the hundreds of fish-headed monsters that I could see at the mouth of the valley were even more violent, roaring like madness at the mouth of the valley.

Many of us on our side let out a soft exclamation, although the fish-headed monsters in the valley could not rush out of the valley, but facing hundreds of fish-headed monsters at such a close distance, anyone would be panicked. However, the two men did not have the slightest fear at all.

I climbed up and looked, and just then, a terrible baby cry suddenly came from where the two men were standing. The three eyes beside me exclaimed: "Big-headed ghost baby, that person is the altar master of the White Tiger Altar, Yang Zhixing!"

Needless to say, we all guessed that it was Yang Zhixing and his big-headed ghost baby, and even from such a distance, I could already see a short ghost baby standing in front of a large figure. I think that the person with a generous figure is Yang Zhixing. It's just that I'm more and more curious, does Yang Zhixing want to use the big-headed ghost baby to fight those fish-headed monsters hand-to-hand? That's also ridiculous, although the big-headed ghost baby is terrifying, but I'm afraid that a fish-headed monster can tear it alive and swallow it alive.

Just as he was thinking about it, he didn't know what the sheep had moved, and the big-headed ghost baby in front of him let out a terrible cry again. Immediately after, this extremely small ghost boy also seemed to be crazy, and jumped straight towards the fish-headed monster at the mouth of the valley. In the blink of an eye, the big-headed ghost baby plunged headlong into the mouth of the valley.

The mouth of the valley was crowded with hundreds of fish-headed monsters, and I only saw one fish-headed monster lying in front open its mouth, and the huge fishhead leaned forward and shrank in the lightning, and then bit the big-headed ghost baby into its mouth. Then, the mermaid spun around and retreated as if it had caught some tasty food, and the mermaids huddled around it seemed to want a piece of the pie, circling around the mouth of the valley.

We all looked at each other a little, and a disciple of the Wudang Sect behind us said suspiciously, "Is this the way to open the way in the Immortal Hall?"

I couldn't help but wonder. A big-headed ghost baby is not even half the size of the fish-headed monster's head, and this big-headed ghost baby rushing into the valley is like a stone sinking into the sea, and it doesn't make any waves at all. That is also too big a disparity, even if Yang Zhixing put all the big-headed ghost babies he raised into the valley, it would be eaten by the fish-headed monster in the blink of an eye.

What exactly is Fang Wen doing? What kind of tricks are Yang Zhixing and that man playing?

I was thinking about it when suddenly, as if out of thin air, a blue firework burst out of the mouth of the valley.

There was a sudden exclamation around me, and I couldn't help but scream. I saw that the blue fireworks were like a blue wall several feet high, overwhelmingly swept away at the mouth of the valley, and the mouth of the valley was originally crowded into a ball of constantly scuffling fish-headed monsters to bear the brunt, as if they didn't expect such a scene at all, when they were entangled in blue fireworks, they began to turn over and over on the ground of the valley mouth, wanting to extinguish the blue fireworks on their bodies.

But in an instant, the blue fireworks suddenly changed color again, from light blue to dark green fireworks.

"It's a rotting corpse!"

I don't know who screamed, but I stared at it, but I saw that the mouth of the valley had become a hell on earth in a very short time. The green and yin fireworks were like maggots possessed, jumping on hundreds of fish-headed monsters, and from such a distance, I could even hear the sound of the flesh of the fish-headed monsters cracking and burning. A terrible scream came from the mouth of the valley, and the sound shook the wilderness, piercing people's hearts, and the hundreds of fish-headed monsters at the mouth of the valley writhed together like crazy. For a while, the dust and smoke were billowing like sand and mud at the bottom of the lake, but it was difficult to see the situation at the mouth of the valley.

It didn't take long for the screams at the mouth of the valley to fade away, but the clouds of dust and smoke still hadn't dissipated in the slightest. But in the valley, there was a loud scream, resounding throughout the world, and even a few fish-headed monsters touched the peak of the thousand zhang peak on the left side of the valley mouth, opened their mouths and let out a piercing roar at us.

Hundreds of fish-headed monsters at the mouth of the valley have been burned to death, right? We were shocked and didn't speak, but we saw the two Yang Zhixing standing at the mouth of the valley moving, and they quickly rushed towards the position of the Immortal Hall.

At this time, Fang Wenwen's voice came from the other side of the waterhole again: "How, Benkong, Tianyi, my Immortal Hall dispersed the way with ice, fire and rotting corpses, those monsters can't stop themselves, once you join forces with my Immortal Hall, once you enter the Divine Dragon Cave and find the passage, you can leave this place safely." ”

His words were still calm, but they sounded terrifying. I can't help but secretly admire, this verse is quite bold, I don't know how many fish-headed monsters there are in the valley, I'm afraid there will be more in the Divine Dragon Cave, he said it so calmly, but it seems that he doesn't take the fish-headed monster seriously at all.

Master Benkong and Tianyi glanced at each other, Master Benkong didn't say anything, Tianyi Chang stroked his long beard, and said in a long voice: "Since that's the case, then I'll wait for the three chapters of the Fa." ”
