Outside Bianliang City, early morning.
Sunlight fell on the surging river. Hei Wu opened his eyes and saw Fang Bie roasting several buns on the fire with branches.
The aroma is overwhelming.
"What is this?" Hei Wu was still very interested in the food. He jumped from the tree and walked to the fire. Without waiting for Hei Wu to speak, he took out a roasted brown meat from the branch. Pass the bun to the other party.
Hei Wu took the bun and felt that the tentacles were hot. He opened his mouth and took a bite. Instantly, the overflowing meat juice burst out from his mouth. Hei Wu was a little surprised, but fortunately, in addition to being invulnerable, Hei Wu's magic power was also invulnerable to magic such as high and low temperatures. The attack still has a certain amount of magic resistance.
He finally swallowed all the meat juice into his belly, then stuffed the bun completely into his mouth in one gulp, closed his mouth and chewed it carefully, and finally swallowed it completely.
"Did you do this?" Hei Wu asked.
Fang Bu nodded.
"Where did you get the materials?" Hei Wu continued to ask.
Fang Bie smiled: "The stuffing is made from the leftover wild boar meat from last night. Chop the fat and thin parts of the belly into the stuffing. Then chop the lard roasted last night and put it in. After heating, it's the inside." Gravy.”
"Onions and ginger are some wild onions I found on the way last night, but they taste quite good. They were also chopped and mixed with sugar, Sichuan peppercorn essence, salt and white pepper." Fang Bie looked at Heiwu: "I brought some flour. The buns don’t need to be fermented. You can just add water to mix and roll out the skin. Originally steaming is the best, but I don’t have a steamer on hand and it’s troublesome to make, so I just follow the method of baking buns. The taste is pretty good.”
Hei Wu reached out and grabbed another bun and looked at it. The branches used by Fang Bu were very thin, so that the bun would not lose support and fall. At the same time, proper rolling would allow the bun to be heated evenly. At the same time, the meat juice inside would melt and heat the inside of the bun. , so that it is heated evenly.
I have to say that in terms of cooking techniques, Fang Bu is quite good.
"Is it necessary?" Hei Wu asked.
After all, it's just breakfast. For those of them who practice martial arts, it won't be a big deal even if they eat raw hair and drink blood.
"Is it delicious?" Fang Bie asked instead of answering Hei Wu's question.
Hei Wu nodded.
Fang Bie smiled: "It's delicious."
"It doesn't matter whether it's necessary or not."
"We're going into town today."
"Are you ready?"
Hei Wu looked at the young man in front of him who always spoke and smiled as if nothing had happened.
He seems to have an inexplicable affinity, and even Kuroyukihime would find it difficult to have a bad feeling towards him.
"Absolutely." Hei Wu said.
"It's almost impossible." Fang Bie looked at Heiwu and said, "I want you to give yourself a hint."
"What hint?" Hei Wu asked.
"After entering Bianliang City, you must obey my instructions unconditionally at any time." Fang Bie said quietly.
Heiwu raised his eyebrows: "Why?"
Fang Bie pointed at the uneaten bun in Hei Wu's hand: "That's all."
Heiwu looked at the baked buns in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay."
Hei Wu did not give in simply because of baking buns, but you are not wrong to say that he gave in because of baking buns.
He just looked at Fang Bie seriously: "Is it that serious inside?"
The inside of Heiwu refers to the city of Bianliang.
"You can come and go freely in Luo City because it is the territory controlled by Sister Ping." Fang Bie looked at Hei Wu and said calmly: "But Bianliang City is different."
Hei Wu swallowed the bun in one gulp, chewed it in his mouth, and then nodded: "If you can't do what you said, I will kill you."
Fang Bie looked at Hei Wu and said with a smile: "If I can't do what I want to do, then I'm already dead and can't wait for you to kill me."
The two people were having such a conversation calmly, eating baked buns together, extinguishing the fire together, and then leaving together.
Together they looked at the towering walls of Bianliang City and the officers and soldiers guarding the gate to collect city fees.
As long as you cross the moat and enter the city wall, you are in Bianliang City.
A hive full of bees is more intimidating and scary than a mountain without bees.
When Fang Bie was walking forward, Hei Wu suddenly stopped Fang Bie.
"I'm very grateful that you are willing to come to Bianliang to help Ningxia find Purple-backed Geranium." Hei Wu said.
There was a hint of sincerity in his expression, which was rare for this young man who was always cruel, murderous and moody.
"Because this is something only I can do." Fang Bie said calmly.
Hei Wu nodded, and then continued: "So, are there no problems with those two people over at Baiyun Mountain?"
"I'm not very optimistic about it."
"After all, it's a combination of a strong second-level and a strong third-level." Fang Bie looked at Hei Wu and said, "Are you so unimpressive?"
"Besides." Fang Bie smiled.
"If I guessed correctly, there is an old friend of mine there now in Baiyun Mountain."
"If she were here."
"Then everything won't be a big problem." Fang Bie said, then stepped onto the suspension bridge of Bianliang City and walked towards the city gate among the crowd.
Heiwu looked at Fang Bie's back, lowered his head and smiled, and then his whole body suddenly became dull as if his soul had been sucked out, and then followed Fang Bie.
transfixed.
…
…
Baiyun Mountain, back mountain.
At this time, dusk has fallen, and a half-moon hangs high in the sky in the mountain forest, shining a little clear light through the gaps in the woods.
Xue Ling didn't have any objections to coming to Crock Temple at this time.
After all, they came here not to treat guests to dinner, but to steal the immortality.
In other words, this was originally what Xue Ling and Sheng Junqian wanted to do when they first arrived, but at that time they wanted to find Fan Yixian first and then inquire about the situation, and also find a doctor for Mr. Jiang.
But who knew that by chance, he would be involved in another storm, and inexplicably disappear in two days.
There is not much time left for Xue Ling and Sheng Junqian.
We agreed to go back and forth within seven days.
They arrived at Song County at night on the first day. On the second day, they found Jiang Liu'er and met Xue Chong on the way. They learned the specific whereabouts of Tianbulao. At the same time, they rushed to Baiyun Mountain without stopping that day, and then stayed at Jiang Shinan's house. One night, I went out early on the third day to find Fan Yixian. At that time, I thought that after finding Fan Yixian, I would go to the Crock Temple in the afternoon to inquire.
Who would have thought that they would accidentally bump into the incompetent Shengxiang left behind by Huo Ying. The three of them would be fascinated one after another and disappear in a daze on the third day. But on the fourth day, they would finally help Huo Ying scare off the monk. After a while, let's just say that we finally got all the required information, and then we came to the Crock Temple in the dark, and officially launched the medicine theft operation.
If you really want to talk about it, every link in the middle is interconnected. If any one of them is lost, it will be difficult for Xue Ling and the others to reach the final destination.
But for now, if you can't get the immortality tonight, then you really don't have time.
According to a total of seven days of activity, the last day must be spent on the road. It is 180 miles from Song County to Luocheng. It takes almost a whole day to ride a horse, unless you don't use your horse power to run all the way.
After getting Tianbu Lao, Huo Ying was asked to look at Jiang Shinan's legs. This was something that had been agreed upon before.
There was also Xue Chong's concern. Thinking of Xue Chong, Xue Ling couldn't help but touch her waist. The piece of jade that Xue Chong gave her was now hanging on her waist.
The final aftermath would take a lot of time, and the two of them couldn't afford to waste it.
At this moment, Sheng Junqian suddenly said: "By the way, what kind of poison did you give that wine monk?"
At this time, the three of them had arrived at the mountain forest behind the Crock Temple. Huo Ying could be said to be familiar with the road. Even under the cool moonlight, she walked without any hesitation. Maybe she had stepped here many times. .
I just always thought that the time was not ripe, so I never took action.
"The fragrance of flowers." When hearing Sheng Junqian's question, Huo Ying said coldly without looking back.
"What effect does it have?" Sheng Junqian continued to ask: "In other words, what I want to know most is, can the fat monk who was poisoned this morning do anything with us now?"
Huo Ying shook her head: "I don't know."
"What do you mean I don't know?" Sheng Junqian became a little angry when he heard this.
You were the one who administered the poison, but now you don’t know what the effect will be?
"The effect of potpourri is to quickly enter the enemy's blood and prevent the opponent's true energy from flowing." Huo Ying said quietly as she walked. "It is characterized by its fragrant smell and extremely quick effect. In a life-and-death fight, it is easy to get infected by accident. Moreover, with the potpourri, you can prepare the antidote and put it in your nasal cavity to avoid poisoning."
"But correspondingly, because potpourri is a quick-acting poison, its advantages and disadvantages are that it is not very toxic and has limited effectiveness."
"After the effect of the drug wears off, it will be slowly broken down by the body and excreted in sweat and urine."
"Normally speaking, the effect of potpourri will last for about ten hours, but the other party is not easy to deal with. After they return, I don't know whether the effect can last for ten hours."
"So I said I don't know."
Huo Ying turned around and said this.
The expression on her face was somewhere between the feeling that I didn't want to explain it originally, but if you insist on me explaining it, I can only explain it to you exactly as it is.
"Can we get around those two people?" Xue Ling couldn't help but ask.
"Okay." Huo Ying nodded and said.
Saying this, she stopped and looked back at Xue Ling and Sheng Junqian: "We're here."
Xue Ling took two steps forward and came to Huo Ying's side, and found that they had reached the top of the back mountain without knowing it.
There was already a cliff in front of Huo Ying. This was probably a circular valley. The cliffs were concave inward and the surroundings were smooth and unbearable. The moonlight was dim at this time. Looking down, you couldn't see the end of the valley at all. You could only feel that you were afraid. It's more than a hundred feet from here to the bottom of the valley.
Even if Xue Ling possessed the magical power of indestructibility, she would not dare to say that she would be unscathed if she fell from a height of a hundred feet.
To be precise, not only was he unscathed, but he was lucky to be able to come back alive.
Although falling from a cliff is an accident with the highest survival rate in martial arts, it is accompanied by a lot of adventures.
But in the real world of martial arts, no one is willing to try this.
Of course, this is at least because very few people in this world can find adventure after jumping off a cliff.
Sheng Junqian looked forward into the valley, and saw that the valley was on the top of the mountain behind the Crock Temple. It was as if someone had hollowed out the top of the mountain and pulled out such an almost miraculous crack at the bottom of the valley. Looking around, there was no sight at all. There is no way to climb down, it is really dangerous.
"Is this the deep stream in the mountain behind Crock Temple?" Sheng Junqian said after swallowing a sip of saliva.
When they heard Xue Chong describe it like this, they never imagined how dangerous the reality was.
But in this way, we can understand why Huo Ying's ancestors kept Tianbu Lao here.
Because it is really a dangerous place and safe enough.
After all, there is the Crock Temple to protect her, but who would have thought that after the fall of the Huo family, the Crock Temple would also be occupied by others and become a portal for others, which made Huo Ying very embarrassed.
"Yes." Huo Ying said in a low voice.
"So what are we going to do now?" Xue Ling asked.
Looking at this terrifying valley, Xue Ling really had no choice.
"Of course I have a way." Huo Ying said.
She took the two of them and walked on this cliff for a week. Xue Ling was more clear this time that this mountain pass was similar to a volcano crater.
Or let's take a step back and say that this mountain pass may have been a volcanic crater, but after the volcano stopped erupting, it finally became like this.
"By the way, how did they get in?" Sheng Junqian couldn't help but ask.
"There was originally rainwater stored here, just like Tianchi." Huo Ying said quietly. "Then one day the cave in the mountain was eroded and rainwater poured out, turning this place into another cave."
"The Crock Temple is built on the entrance of the cave and occupies the exit, so it is considered a rare blessed place in the cave."
"And the immortality of the sky is here in the winter."
Saying this, Huo Ying stopped somewhere on the cliff and reached out to sweep away the weeds there. Under the moonlight, Xue Ling and Sheng Junqian suddenly saw a ladder hanging on the cliff, and there was an iron bolt all the way. Secure the ladder to the cliff.
Xue Ling was startled: "What is this?"
"Secretly attack Chen Cang." Huo Ying said quietly.
"Ever since I was sure that Tianbulao was taken over by them, I have been thinking about how to steal the medicine from this iron-walled cave."
"This is one of my attempts."
Xue Ling looked at the ladder and saw that the cave was filled with clouds and mist, making it difficult to see below. This was certainly worthy of the name of Baiyun Mountain.
But now it seems that thanks to the clouds and fog below, it is not clear that Huo Ying actually used a ladder and an iron drill to carve a path into the valley without anyone noticing.
"It's really breathtaking." Xue Ling looked at Huo Ying and said sincerely.
"It's just a last resort." Huo Ying said calmly.
Saying this, she reached out and climbed down the ladder: "I'll get off first."
Seeing Huo Ying going first without any pretense, Xue Ling couldn't help but sigh. The other party really trusted her, or was honest.
If she had dismantled the ladder on top, Huo Ying would definitely die now.
Thinking like this, Xue Ling also stretched out her hand: "I am the second one."
At this moment, Sheng Junqian suddenly stretched out his hand: "Wait a minute."
PS: Due to the slow pace recently, I thought it would be better if I wrote the chapter a little bigger.
