The Yin hour has just passed, and the sky has turned from darkest to brightest. After all, it has already entered late spring, and the sky is getting earlier and earlier. However, although the sky in the east can be seen turning white in another hour, it is now the coldest time. Up and down the mountain, there was a cool breeze blowing, and the cold wind penetrated into the bones. An ordinary person would probably be destined to suffer from cold syndrome, but the scholar on the mountain, the old man and the boy at the foot of the mountain, together with the hundreds of five-level soldiers on the mountainside, did not move. A little bit.
The old saying goes that before the wind and rain come, the leaves of the forest must stop, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Except for the two people in the alchemy room, they had been struggling for half the night, and their sleepiness was like a river bursting its embankment, out of control. Qian Yin was feeling better. He had a comfortable sleep at the table not long ago. He stopped being sleepy for the time being and stroked the dial with one hand. The other hand always held the elixir fire, and his inner energy was like silk, which had been maintained for a long time. Even so, Qian Yin often let go of the dial, casually picked out two pills from the nearby medicine shelves and threw them into his mouth, so as to control the consumption of internal energy. After all, the realm is not deep enough, and the elixir fire consumes a lot of internal energy. It is obviously insufficient to support it with one's own internal energy, so using elixirs to make up for the shortage is really a last resort.
Yun Zhong was extremely sleepy. Besides, all the medicinal ingredients had been thrown into the alchemy cauldron. Now he had nothing to do. With his level of cultivation, he was helpless to help his second senior brother Qian Yin, so he had to go there. I leaned back in the chair and thought about how to circulate my qi for several weeks to eliminate the sleepiness in the spiritual platform. Then I looked at the hot alchemy cauldron in front of me. Sweat was pouring out all over my body, and I immediately lost the intention to practice.
"Second Senior Brother, how about I go find a cattail leaf fan? There is a big hot red cauldron in the room. It's a bit too hot. Either it doesn't need to be refined with elixirs, so we have to be familiar with it." I can't stand the scorching heat. In the heat wave, the young man leaned on the back of his chair and said with difficulty, "I don't know why the senior brother is out doing business. It's the end of the fourth watch, but he hasn't come back yet."
Compared with the young man, Qian Yin did not look too embarrassed, and his clothes were not soaked. Hearing this, he said disdainfully: "Even if I find a cattail leaf fan, how much heat can it relieve? It's obvious that your kid is restless and can't blame the room. heat."
The young man was about to speak out a few words to argue, but he saw that the originally strong fire suddenly stopped, and several herbs were gathered together in one place. At the same time, there was the sound of thunder outside the alchemy room, so he didn't care too much, and got up to go out. He ran, but Qian Yin held him down with one hand and glared coldly, "If there is a sudden change outside, it will naturally be supported by the senior brothers and you don't need to take care of it. Besides, the Xu Dan is not far from the Cheng Dan now. Just wait for the elixir to fade away in the cauldron. Junior Brother, stay here to take care of me. If there is any movement outside, just ask Senior Brother to go and spy."
It is a very rare thing for Master to travel down the mountain for no reason. Although Wu Shuang acted as he pleased, whenever he went out for a stroll, perhaps he was afraid that the treasures that he had easily obtained from Li Baoyu over the years by knocking and playing in slippery pits would be in danger, so before leaving, he always took the trouble to inform the two of them about trivial matters. , and then went down the mountain to play with confidence.
Moreover, Liu Qing left his junior brother Xu Dan alone and did not return for a long time, and there were two earthquakes near the mountain outside. No matter how forgiving Qian Yin was, he noticed something strange at this moment, which made the young man stay in the alchemy room. After waiting, he locked the door of the alchemy room firmly and left quickly.
The young man listened and watched the second senior brother walking away, and felt a little depressed for no reason. So he got off the back of the chair, raised his hand to touch his waist, and felt even more irritable: Maybe he was in a hurry to go out today, and he didn't even put on his sword. I never took it with me, and when I touched it, there was nothing.
The source of the upset was probably that he knew that the second senior brother was right, but Yun Zhong hoped that the second senior brother was wrong.
After all, it is a lack of ability.
The fire in the alchemy cauldron in the room gradually extinguished, leaving only a dim lampstand. When the fire under the cauldron faded away, the young man raised his head, held the oil lamp steady with one hand, and looked into the alchemy cauldron with a slightly depressed look.
But there was no decent elixir in the alchemy cauldron, only a dumpling as black as coal, the same size as the green dumpling sold in the store, but the color was too unappetizing.
"What kind of virtual elixir is this?" The young man was confused. He was about to hold the alchemy cauldron and pick up the elixir for a closer look. Unexpectedly, the alchemy cauldron was still hot. The left hand that originally held the lampstand was burning with the alchemy cauldron. Without a firm grip, the lampstand fell entirely into the alchemy cauldron, flickered a few times, and then dimmed again.
The young man quickly took two steps back. Fortunately, he retracted his hand so quickly that he didn't let Dan Ding burn his left palm. However, he was still frightened. He went to the table and picked up a cloth handkerchief, mixed it with some water, and then gingerly put the handkerchief on his head. Take out the elixir together with the lampstand, hold it in the palm of your hand, and look at the moonlight.
The whole body of the Xu Dan is like ink, but it is warm and moist when placed in the palm. It seems that there are hidden lines. However, there is no light in the alchemy room, so it is difficult to see clearly. However, when I hold it, there are strands of red floating in it, flashing out. Pass away.
Now that the Xu Dan was in hand, Yun Zhong had the idea of running out of the door to take a look, so he put the Xu Dan in his arms, picked up the medicine pestle, and thought about prying the door latch.
When Qian Yin was going out, he happened to hear a noise in the third junior brother's room. He was about to raise his hand to remove the magical power on the door. Then he heard the senior brother on the top of the mountain said warmly, "The third junior brother is the same as the younger junior brother. Don't get involved in this matter. That's right." Junior brother doesn’t need to understand the minor supernatural powers.”
"What's the matter?" Qian Yin blinked and stood still.
The top of the mountain was still a hundred feet away from Zhao Ziyang's house, but the words of the scholar in white were clearly audible, "Junior brother knows it well, but he still pretends to do it and doesn't say a few words."
Hearing this, Qian Yin shook his head helplessly and said to the third junior brother who was shouting in the room, "Listen, the senior brother is now in charge of the mountain gate. Even if I want to help, I don't dare to refute the senior brother's face. It's better to rest early." ." Soon it turned into a stream of light, stepped onto the top of the mountain, and sat next to the scholar.
"Master originally didn't want to tell you about this, lest you get confused, so he kept it secret as a last resort." The scholar drank the wine, but there was no hint of drunkenness on his face. At this time, he smiled bitterly and said: "After all, paper can't contain the fire. "
Qian Yin had not planned to answer the call at first, and kept his face coldly, but after hearing this, he couldn't help complaining: "You know you can't cover it, why do you want to cover it so much? The Nangongshan family only has these heavenly things, every item I've played it thousands of times, and I'm very familiar with it. I wasn't sure that the previous sound was an enemy attack, but after hearing the later sound, it almost made my heart tremble with pain."
Liu Qing laughed silently.
As expected, he is still obsessed with money.
"Master doesn't want to tell me. It's understandable. The two junior brothers are not at the right level right now. Saving their lives is the top priority right now. Why do you want to hide it from me?" Qian Yin was obviously furious and sighed repeatedly.
"Senior brother, I am ashamed." The scholar lowered his eyes.
The alchemist bared his teeth.
"Repay it slowly in the future. At least you have to be more economical when spending money."
