Taking out the compass, confirming the direction, she walked two or three miles northeast. Before it got completely dark, she set up a shed by a stream. After letting Shen Yi light a fire, she walked not far from the shed. Another pile of firewood was lit in the place, and then the alchemy furnace was set up and the alchemy began.
It took her less than two hours to refine two furnaces of Beast-accumulating Pills, with a total of twenty-one pills. This meant that she refined eleven Beast-accumulating Pills for the first time during the second furnace. Full of joy, Shen Yi ate four less.
Moreover, the quality of these twenty-one elixirs is slightly higher than that of ordinary beast-acquiring elixirs.
However, she did not continue after refining two furnaces of elixirs. Instead, she took out the demon elixir taken from the cow demon, put it in a bowl and slowly mashed it. According to her, she wanted to make Yuluo powder. Prepare to refine the exquisite beast-enhancing elixir.
After midnight, there was only the sound of cold water flowing between heaven and earth, and it was very peaceful.
After the demon pill was pounded into powder, she put it into the storage space, glanced at Shen Yi who was motionless next to her, and then stared at the stream in a daze.
Not long after, she stopped moving like Shen Yi, and seemed to have entered a certain state. Shen Yi didn't notice that her eyes were glowing, which was so obvious on a winter night.
…
The next morning, the snow stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sun shone on the earth, but it could not dispel the coldness of winter.
She stood up and dismantled the snow-proof shed, put it into the storage space, and then handed a piece of paper to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi looked at it, spread it out on a stone slab, dipped his brush in ink, and wrote a few big, crooked characters on it, and then showed it to Tsurumi Chuyun.
"Old witch, come and take a look at what I wrote. What do you think?"
Hearing this, she opened her eyes and looked carefully.
"How...how can I hide?"
"Hey, as long as you can see what I wrote." Shen Yi nodded with satisfaction, folded the paper and threw it into the storage space.
"..." He Jian Chuyun was speechless.
She really couldn't respect this word. It was as ugly as it was. If you didn't look carefully, it looked like a ghostly sign.
She almost didn't recognize it just now.
After packing her things, she came to him: "Let's go."
"Let's go."
He walked to the creek, used strength to make his body bigger, spread his wings and rose into the air, and at the same time stretched out his claws to pull her up.
"Fly slower."
"knew."
He replied indifferently, and with a flap of his wings, Shen Yi flew towards the northeast.
But despite Hejian Chuyun's warning, Shen Yi couldn't help but fly higher and faster as she flew. After a while, she couldn't bear it anymore and struggled to fall back to the ground.
"No more flying, no more flying."
"Why are you so pretentious? There's no one here. Just be patient and get there."
"What if you didn't catch me and fell?"
"I won't be able to catch you?"
"I... I'd better walk over slowly." He Jian Chuyun shook his head and relaxed his mind. Shen Yi was too lazy to say anything and turned into a ball of light on the spot and squeezed into her eyebrows.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the old witch still didn't trust her very much. Zhao Shuling also flew her over before the Tsurjian mansion was destroyed. The old witch didn't have any objections at that time because she knew that Zhao Shuling wouldn't do anything no matter what. Will let her go.
But when it comes to herself, if she can't catch it...she doesn't dare to bet on that accident anyway.
"Then just walk slowly."
"oh."
"You are so afraid of heights, what will you do when you reach the spiritual level? People are flying around in the sky when they are fighting, and you just watch from the ground?"
"If I could fly I wouldn't be afraid of heights."
"Uh..." Shen Yi was speechless for a moment, it seemed like this was the truth.
If he had been allowed to stand on the roof of a tall building before traveling through time, Shen Yi could not guarantee that his legs would not tremble, because he would also be afraid of heights, but after having wings, he knew that high altitudes were no longer a threat to him, and he was afraid of heights. Naturally it is gone.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Tsurumi Chuyun also became quiet. She was thinking about something while walking on the roadside. After a while, she said hesitantly: "Actually, it's not that I can't fly..."
"Huh?" Shen Yi became interested.
"Just like the night before, I'll ride on your neck."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi's eyes widened and he said angrily: "You think so well! You want to ride a dragon? I can't even ride you!"
"You..." Tsurumi Chuyun was depressed and stopped talking.
Shen Yi was floating in the consciousness space, turning around, focusing on her perspective and snorted coldly, and then looked at the altar, but he was stunned for a moment when he looked at it.
The old witch's altar seemed a little different today. He floated over and took a closer look. Mainly on the second floor of the altar, the gray-white interior surged like a liquid, forming a vortex and impacting upward. , and then dissipated.
Ten seconds later, the vortex surged inside the altar and reappeared, impacting upward and then dissipating again, and so on.
Last night, there was no such scene in the old witch altar.
Shen Yi put his paws into the altar and scratched, but he didn't touch anything.
The altar was like this, he could see it, but he couldn't touch it.
"Old witch."
"What's up?"
"There seems to be something wrong with your altar."
"no."
"There is a vortex in the second floor of your altar..." Shen Yi said in a short story and told her the situation inside the altar. After listening, He Jian Chuyun breathed a sigh of relief and didn't care at all.
"fine."
"What's okay? What's going on?"
"I have already reached the breaking point."
"Breaking through... Oh, so that's what it is." Shen Yi suddenly realized and didn't care too much. It had been some time since the old witch had broken through to the main level of plague elimination, and it seemed to him that it was natural for him to reach the level of breaking through.
And he couldn't see what Tsurumi Chuyun outside had been thinking about. The progress of her cultivation was almost too much for her.
She wanted to know what the cause was, but she couldn't find out.
After Shen Yi retracted his claws, he looked inside the altar again. There was not even a red and yellow filament on the upper and lower floors. They were clean without any impurities. The only entertainment here was gone.
With a thought in his mind, he slowly floated up, rotating like a lonely planet under the altar while circling around the altar.
Changzhou is sparsely populated, and it is difficult to see pedestrians in the wild. Even if you see them, it is a whole motorcade with a solemn atmosphere, as if strangers are not allowed to enter. Tsurumi Chuyun would not want to join in the fun if he saw them.
Because she needed to make elixirs, she stopped and walked along the way, letting Shen Yi out from time to time to fly with her for a while. Even so, it took four days and three nights to enter Fenghe Town.
"We're almost there."
Seeing the stone tablet standing at the crossroads in the distance, she quickly quickened her pace and came to it. The word "Fenghe" was engraved on it.
She took out the map and compared it, quickly put it away, and then released Shen Yi from the conscious space.
After he came out, he also glanced at it, then turned around and asked: "How far is it?"
"I don't know." She shook her head slightly, and then stretched out her hand towards him. The meaning was obvious. Shen Yi understood it immediately. His body grew bigger with a shudder. He spread out his dragon wings and flew up while grabbing her hand. Sweep forward.
He thought there wouldn't be anyone in front of him, but as he flew, he saw a faint group of people walking towards him in the distance.
"Get down quickly!" He saw that Chuyun reacted immediately and shouted quickly. Shen Yi did not dare to be careless and quickly fell back to the ground as soon as his wings were retracted.
"Holy shit, you scared me."
"Did they see you?"
"I don't know why so many people suddenly showed up if I didn't go."
Listening to Shen Yi's complaint, Hejian Chuyun looked forward nervously and motioned for him to enter the consciousness space.
After Shen Yi disappeared, she suppressed the panic in her heart and walked forward calmly.
The people in front soon met her. They were a group of people wearing simple coats and armor. They were not soldiers, but officials or something like that. At a rough glance, there were about forty or fifty people, divided into two parts, front and back, guarding her. There is a luxurious and luxurious carriage in the middle.
"Public officials?" Shen Yi saw this scene and couldn't help but said.
“What is a public official?”
"Oh, that's what you call Mr. Guan."
"Oh." Tsurumi Chuyun nodded. After spending so much time with Shen Yi, she had begun to get used to the words that she didn't recognize coming out of his mouth all the time.
She communicated silently with Shen Yi in her heart, but her steps did not stop. Facing the group of people, she looked very calm and did not show any timidity. She just walked on the roadside to make way for the officials.
To be honest, she was a little nervous, fearing that they had seen Shen Yi flying in the sky just now and suspected something.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the dozen or so officials walking in front also focused on her, looked at her for a while, and then quickly moved away.
They didn't cross-examine him, and He didn't say anything when he saw Chuyun.
The two sides passed each other in two different directions, but when the luxurious carriage drove beside her, the carriage door was suddenly opened, and the curtains were pulled, revealing the face of a young man. Usually, there is a mole on the chin.
The two looked at each other, and the man smiled contemptuously and closed the window again.
"This guy is quite a naughty guy." In view of this guy's inexplicable smile just now, Shen Yi couldn't help but complain.
"..."
The convoy passed without incident and nothing happened. After watching them go away, Tsurejian Chuyun felt relieved and turned his head to look ahead. Fenghe Town loomed in the distance like a silhouette.
She took a deep breath, walked forward at a faster pace, and soon entered Fenghe Town.
"...Okay, we're here."
"This is Fenghe Town, it's not that good." Through the old witch's perspective, Shen Yi could also clearly see the situation outside.
In terms of scale, Fenghe Town is much larger than Longchun Town, but probably because it is located in Changzhou, it is cooler than Longchun Town.
"What do you do next?"
"Find an inn to stay in first." Tsurumi Chuyun said as he walked forward.
Not long after, she passed a street corner and her eyes were attracted by the lively scene in the distance. Countless people gathered in front of a signboard and talked about it.
She was a little curious, so she came over.
But because there were too many people, she could only put her feet up at the back to look, but couldn't see anything.
There was an experienced old man explaining something in front of the sign, but there were too many people and the surrounding environment was very noisy. She listened for a long time and heard nothing.
She wanted to push forward, but the various body odors in front of her were mixed together, which made her a little disgusted and unwilling to move forward.
At this moment, a woman carrying a vegetable basket squeezed out from the front. Seeing this, she quickly stretched out her hand to hold her, and at the same time shouted, "Auntie! Auntie!"
The woman trembled subconsciously when someone suddenly grabbed her. She turned around and raised her hand to hit her, but immediately relaxed after seeing that it was a girl who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and complained: "Why are you so scary, little girl?" I made my mother think that it was that rough guy who was secretly trying to sneak up on me."
As she spoke, the woman reached out and patted the dust on her butt.
Before Tsurumi Chuyun could reply, she said again: "What's wrong, Xiaonizi, are you also curious about what's on it?"
"Yeah." Tsurumi Chuyun nodded quickly.
"Looking at your age, you shouldn't have left the court yet? Why don't you just stay in the boudoir and run out?"
"..."
"No, you look strange. I've never seen you before. Whose girl are you from?"
"I happened to be passing through here and came to town to buy some things."
"Oh oh oh... don't squeeze in front. That's because people are dishonest. I've never seen a woman in my eight lives. They touch everywhere. If you want to know what you want, just tell me here."
"Then what's on it?"
"It's nothing. The imperial court wants to capture a female doll. If she is caught alive, she will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold. But what do you think? I think the female doll looks weirdly pretty in the portrait."
As if remembering something irritating, the aunt looked at the group of people gathered in front of the sign, pointed at them and said angrily: "Look at those bastards, one of them is bleeding all over the floor."
Tsurumi Chuyun also glanced in the direction of the crowd, turned back and said with a smile: "I understand, ma'am, thank you."
"Why don't you say thank you or not? Anyway, it's so beautiful up there, so go back quickly."
"Yeah, yeah."
"..."
After chatting with the lady for a while, Tsurumi Chuyun walked down the street with a heavy heart after they separated.
"Old witch, tell me the truth, what exactly did Daliang want to do by taking you back alive?"
"It could be a sacrificial garment...but I'm not sure."
"What is a sacrificial garment?"
"It's a kind of evil magic. It seems to be able to replace the god of life."
"Replace the God of Life..." Shen Yi's eyes narrowed in the space of consciousness.
"Can the God of Destiny really be replaced?"
"Ah...are you planning something?"
"Why are you panicking? I'm just curious."
"Oh... Daliang law prohibits people from talking about the art of sacrificial robes. What I know is from other people's mouths. I don't know whether it is true or not. But I have never heard of anyone replacing the god of life. I said he was accidentally killed by you. The fourth prince, his life god has always been Bi Jing Duwu, a mid-level C-grade one, and it has never been changed."
Following her words, Shen Yi fell into brief thought.
"It's strange... If the clothing sacrificial technique is just a rumor, then why are people prohibited from discussing it? What are the Daliang royal family afraid of?"
"Hmm... Actually, it's not just Daliang. There are also rumors of the art of sacrificing clothes in other dynasties."
"In other words, the art of sacrificing clothes exists, but the effect is not what we imagined?"
"It seems so, but maybe they didn't want to capture me alive because of..."
He Jian Chuyun didn't say the rest of the words, but Shen Yi also guessed a bit.
It was a lie to capture the old witch alive, and the real target of the Liang royal family was probably themselves!
"mmp..." (End of this chapter)
