266. Ten Thousand Lotus Island 9
266. Ten Thousand Lotus Island 9
The remnant sun is like blood, and the glow is all over the sky.
At the foot of the mountain south of Wanlian Island, the stone gate of the cave house, which had been closed for many days, slowly opened in the rumbling, and under the simple thatched shed, Xie Yanheng, who had been guarding outside for eight days, noticed it for the first time, and got up and looked inside.
Chen Tingfeng next to him also felt something, and got up when he heard the sound.
Hua Rulai's eyes were bloodshot, and he walked out of the stone cave with a tired expression.
"Senior brother, what's wrong?"
"Master, can the elixir be cultivated?"
Xie Yanheng and Chen Tingfeng stepped forward quickly and asked almost at the same time.
Hua Rulai's hand hidden under the sleeve stretched out, but he was holding a porcelain vase tightly, staring at it, with a smile on his face: "This hard work has not been in vain." β
Chen Tingfeng said with joy on his face: "Great, so the master will be saved." β
"Well, this Dan has been completed, and Ah Yu's stubborn illness can be solved. Hua Rulai nodded, put down her hand and asked about the situation on the island: "What has happened to the island in the past few days since I went into retreat?"
Xie Yanheng sighed, shook his head and said, "It's abnormal, it's just a broom star." β
Tong Gong has only met the yellow-haired girl so many times, but the first time he lost the Xuantie token, he was also injured, and the second time he met, there was a sister-in-law on his head who bullied his brothers and sisters all day long, and then the third time he saw him, it was for the snow ginseng that his vitality was greatly injured, and he has not fully recovered to this day, plus there was another time when he met her master, and his friend died of his beloved, and he retired in frustration, and there was no news, in short, nothing good...... Although there are a few things that I really can't complain about, who told her to appear in front of him so coincidentally?
So now he saw that Ling Shan's door was up and down, and it was not pleasing to the eye.
Hua Rulai turned around and said, "Oh?
Chen Tingfeng briefly introduced: "Uncle Shi is talking about the New Year's friendship between the master and the master, the starry night and the bright moon day, they came here five days ago with the two juniors of the master's mother's family, and now they still live on the island, in addition, the day before yesterday, there were people from the Sword Casting City who visited, called Dongfang Xiaotian, who claimed to be the order of the predecessors of Zunou to come here to negotiate a deal with the master, but he refused to say it clearly, the senior brother was blocked from the island first in case of emergency, and only waited for the master to go out of the customs to deal with it personally. β
or a few people, or a few brothers and sisters who want to see the dust and swallow the sea, in short, someone will come to report every day, so although the two of them have been sitting here for a long time these days, the situation on the island is also under their control.
Hua Rulai was not surprised by the arrival of Ling Shan and the others, after all, he had personally invited them that day, and even planned to wait for them to come before opening the furnace for alchemy, but recently Du Yu's condition had worsened, and it was not good to delay any longer, so he had to retreat in advance, he didn't expect them to come to the door in the middle, although it was just a coincidence, but Dongfang Xiaotian in this Sword Casting City was beyond his expectations.
He does have some friendship with Ou Bailian, the lord of Sword Casting City, but the sea area to which Sword City belongs is secret, and it is often troublesome to enter and exit, so it is inconvenient for the two islands to travel between them, since they joined forces to build the treasure armor eight years ago, they have no contact, and this time the matter of alchemy for his wife is even more unknown, how could he suddenly send someone to discuss what deal at this time?
Of course, at the moment, Du Xuan's condition is above all else, these are secondary, he gave up after a little thought, waved his hand and said: "I know, but these things will be talked about later, now go to Ah Xuan first...... This is the key, listen to the wind, you take it, go to the storeroom and take out the snow ginseng and come back. As he spoke, he took out a copper key and handed it to Chen Tingfeng.
Chen Tingfeng hesitated for a moment and persuaded: "Master, looking at your complexion, these days for alchemy should have consumed a lot of energy, it is better to rest for two days first, wait for the energy to recover, and then let the master take the medicine, and then it will be able to better channel the medicinal properties." β
Hua Ru said: "I have my own plans, you don't have to say much, go get it!"
Chen Tingfeng sighed and led the order to leave quickly.
Xie Yanheng was also hesitant, and when Chen Tingfeng left, he said worriedly: "Senior brother, what Tingfeng said is not unreasonable, you have been working hard for alchemy for so many days, I am afraid that your body will not be able to hold on." β
Hua Rulai's attitude towards his junior brother was a little gentler, but the implication was still the same, he said: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." β
ββ
Du Zhen is rebelling on a daily basis.
In the past, the reason why her body was able to persist was because Hua Rulai combed her true qi day after day, until recently, the effect of true qi combing tended to be gone, and she became more and more frail, so Hua Rulai had to retreat for alchemy.
But no matter how weak the effect of infusing true qi is, it is still effective after all, Du Yu's body is still inseparable from this conditioning, but Hua Rulai has no skills if she wants to refine the pill, so she prescribed a pair of medicines to Du Yu as appropriate, taking them twice a day, which can temporarily suppress her condition during the retreat.
Now it's time to take your medication.
Xiaocao said helplessly: "Miss, don't hide, quickly lift the quilt." β
Du Yu covered himself under the quilt and said in a muffled voice: "I don't want it, unless I die, don't think about it." β
Hua Xing fell to the side and laughed: "Second sister is ashamed, she has to do this every day." β
"Xiaoluoluo, you shut up for me. β
"Ruulu Ulu...... I won't shut up, you have the ability to come out and beat me. β
"Okay, you wait for me!"
"Miss, if you are disobedient, I will close the door and let Xiaoxing go. β
"Even if you release Xiaoxing Xiaoyue, I won't come out. β
"Hmph, why sister, it's enough to have me. Sister Du, if you don't come out and drink the medicine obediently, I'm welcome!"
"If you say you don't drink it, you don't drink it, you ...... Ah, don't move, the quilt is going to break...... Haha, don't scratch, itchy, itchy, haha, I can't stand it, Xiaoluoluo and I can't finish with you......"
"Sister Du is honest?"
"Honest, honest, I'll drink, I'll drink!"
"Every time I persuade you not to listen and listen to it, such an adult is more naughty than Luoluo, Miss, you really don't realize it. β
The medicine is bitter.
And Du Yu has never been a person who is willing to endure hardships, so he tries every day to dodge, and then he is half forced and half persuaded by Xiaocao.
This scene is played out twice a day.
Nothing falls short.
And after Ling Shan came to Wanlian Island, she often helped on the sidelines, and together with the little girl, she became the first and second accomplices in Du Yu's tragic drug end, in addition to the mastermind Hua Rulai and the direct murderer Xiaocao.
When Hua Ru came over, Du Yu was nesting in the quilt, only one head was exposed, his whole body was tense, his tears were hazy, and he was fed the last spoonful of medicinal soup with a bitter smile by Xiaocao, just like Xiaocao said, such a big person, but still like a child.
Hua Xingluo stood in front of the bed with his hands behind his back, seizing the rare opportunity that fell from the sky, and taught a lesson like a little adult: "Hey, wouldn't it be nice to do this earlier? β
Looking at the young mother who was taught by her daughter, Ling Shan Xiaocao snickered beside her, even Ming Yuetian pursed her lips, smiling slightly.
Only Du Yu himself was angry: "You little white-eyed wolf, you lose your second sister so much to you, every time something happens, you are the first to turn back." β
The middle door was wide open, Xie Yanheng consciously stayed outside, Hua Rulai entered the house by himself, Ling Shan and the others turned their backs to themselves and didn't pay attention, but Du Yu saw it at a glance, and shouted aggrievedly: "Wow, Huahua, you're finally back, look at it, as soon as you're not there, these bad guys will gang up to bully me." β
Immediately lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and opened his arms to meet him.
Others also immediately discovered the flowers.
"Ah, uncleβ"
"Yo, Uncle Hua, are you out of customs?"
"Wow, Daddy, Daddy, you're finally willing to come out. β
"Well, I'm out!"
Hua Rulai touched the head of the little girl who ran over and hugged her thighs, patted the back of Du Yu, who was leaning over and hugging her waist, helped her to the edge of the bed and sat down, smoothed her forehead hair for her, stroked her pale cheeks, and said with a smile: "They bullied you today, so when your body is better in the future, you can bully it back!"
Du Heng leaned on her husband, rolled her eyes and said, "How can you be so persuasive?"
Hua Rulai said: "Didn't I follow your meaning?"
Du Yu continued to look at him: "How can I be so careful?"
Hua Rulai said: "Yes, Ah Yu, you are the best." β
"Count you as acquaintances. Du Yu nodded with satisfaction, then stroked Hua Rulai's face with one hand, looked at her husband's tired face, and felt a little distressed: "Huahua, look at you, your eyes are red, you are tired during this time, right?"
Hua Rulai grabbed the hand on his face, clasped it together, and said softly: "No matter how tired I am, I am not as tired as you, don't worry, I'm fine." β
Ling Shan coughed lightly, interrupting the couple who showed affection, and asked, "It seems that Uncle Hua's retreat this time is complete?"
Hua Rulai looked up at her, nodded with a smile, and said, "Not bad." β
Ling Shan said with a smile: "Then it seems that Sister Du's recovery is just around the corner, so I have to say congratulations first." β
Du Yu chuckled: "It's really not sincere to say it verbally. β
Ling Shan asked, "Oh, what sincerity does Sister Du want?"
Du Yu said the request: "Hmm...... It's very simple, just help me beat Xiao Luoluo first, and then play ten games of chess with me. β
Ling Shan pouted: "Your requirements are really low!"
The little girl didn't follow: "Daddy, you see, it's obvious that the second sister teamed up with others to bully me, and she sued the wicked first." β
Hua Rulai touched the little girl's head and smiled slightly.
ββ
The old monkey squinted and leaned against the boat, chirping and spitting fog.
Dongfang Xiaotian is high on the top of the cabin, bathing in the sunset, looking at Wanlian Island.
Chen Tingfeng came from the other side, said a few words to the senior disciple of Wanlian Island, who had been guarding the shore for several days, and left together.
The two of them have not been there for long.
Dongfang Xiaotian stood up, stepped out, and if the catkins followed the wind, he floated downstairs, holding on to the railing, and tapping his fingers twice.
In silence, the whole ship shuddered twice.
Knock and tremble.
In an instant, there was a clattering sound, and more than a dozen figures sprang out of the cabin, lined up behind Dongfang Xiaotian in an orderly manner.
The old monkey was still sitting at the hatch, and a group of people passed by, unconcerned, smoking a cigarette and asking, "It's decided?"
Dongfang Xiaotian didn't see joy or anger, his eyes were gloomy, as if he could see through the mountains and rivers on Wanlian Island, looked directly at the people, and nodded: "It's decided!"
The old monkey head continued to ask, "Are you sure you won't change your mind?"
Dongfang Xiaotian slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were firm, and he replied softly: "Don't change it!"
"Alas......"
The old monkey sighed softly, knocked on the door frame with the cigarette tube, and shook off a few pieces of cigarette ash: "Be careful, don't capsize in the gutter." β
"Ready, wait for my signal. β
After Dongfang Xiaotian finished speaking, he turned over and went into the sea, like duckweed, treading the waves, shaking one step at a time, flickering and flickering, the speed was particularly fast, and the water surface had passed one hundred and ten zhang in a blink of an eye.
ββ
Gu Wangchen hugged the brocade box where the thousand-year-old snow ginseng was stored, and staggered out of the warehouse.
Although he took advantage of his unpreparedness to launch a sneak attack, Chen Tingfeng was better than him in martial arts after all, and the last move of the Jedi counterattack still hurt him, and now his qi and blood were unstable, and his face was extremely pale.
At this time, I was surprised to see the evil stars in front of me blocking the way.
Dongfang Xiaotian's expression was calm, and he said lightly: "Feng Eleven, it's time to hand over what you have in your hands to me!"
ββ
Inside the Du Yu room.
Hua Rulai smiled and looked at his wife and daughter on the side, but his heart was faintly shrouded in a layer of haze, he pretended to look out of the door inadvertently, silently, but his heart became more and more uneasy.
Ling Shan looked at the mother and daughter laughing and scolding, the family of three was harmonious, pouted, still not caught in the middle of the eyes, she said goodbye: "Uncle Hua's retreat is seven or eight days, Sister Du has already thought about it, now that it is finally out of the customs, you can make love, we will go back first, don't bother." β
Du Yu looked up and smiled: "Yo? β
"Cut!"
Ling Shan replied disdainfully, pulled Ming Yuetian and turned her head to leave.
Hua Rulai shouted, "Stay." β
Ling Shan turned around and asked, "What's the matter with Uncle Hua?"
Hua Rulai got up and said, "I still need to refine the medicinal properties of snow ginseng later, and I want to ask you for help to protect the Dharma outside for a while." β
Ling Shan happily promised: "Little things." β
looked at Du Yu again, and said with a smile: "Now that you have seen it, it's not like I have to stay and disturb you!"
Du Yu said: "Then stay." β
Turning to her husband, she said with concern: "If you want to refine snow ginseng, you have to make a lot of effort, I see that you are not in good spirits now, so you should wait for two more days." β
Hua Rulai took his beloved wife's hand and said with a smile: "I'm not so tired that I can't even refine snow ginseng, you can rest assured, it's okay." β
looked out again, frowned, and said, "Listening to the wind, that kid doesn't know what he's rubbing, I asked him to fetch snow ginseng, but he hasn't come back yet!"
"If you can't wait, then you don't have to wait!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a calm voice came from outside, as if responding to the doubts of the people in the room.
Then, Xie Yanheng shouted: "Who are you?"
This is not the case.
Immediately knowing that there was a difference, Ling Shan and Ming Yuetian swept out the door without hesitation, looking at where the sound came from, Dongfang Xiaotian was behind him with one hand, holding the brocade box in the other, bathing in the afterglow of the sunset, step by step, slowly walking.
Hua Rulai has already gone out, and her face is ugly, especially when she sees the brocade box in the hands of the visitor.
Dongfang Xiaotian smiled calmly, "I already said, I am the one who came to do business!"
As soon as the words fell, the brocade box collapsed, and the snow ginseng, which was as pale as ice as amber crystal, was pinched in his hand.
"This is the price I offered, in exchange for a Heart Refining Pill. β
