"Since the Taoist Priest doesn't welcome us, then why should we make things difficult for others?" Yun Fan glanced at Zheng Qidao, rolled his eyes slightly, and then a mysterious smile slightly tilted his lips, then turned around leisurely, and was about to leave .
"..." Zheng Qidao sat there carelessly, looking to one side, as if he was too lazy to look at them again.
"Yun Fan!" Ye Ruyan turned her head coldly, looking at Yun Fan with a pair of beautiful eyes, her mask thin and angry, as if she couldn't believe this was true. He was really willing to give up halfway, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in him. He didn't expect that he would give up so easily. Fortunately, she had looked at him differently just now, but she never thought that she was blind and mistrustful.
Yun Fan's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he turned his eyes to look at the Bagua array in the center of the hall and the four neatly arranged copper furnaces: "I dare to ask Chang Alchemy, are the placement of these copper furnaces based on the Five Elements array? "
"Why did Donor Yun say this?" Zheng Qidao couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he suddenly heard Yun Fan mention this issue, and then blurted out: "Is there something wrong with the placement of my copper furnace?"
"That's right," Yun Fan stared at the copper furnace and said calmly: "The Taoist Master placed the copper furnace in the wrong position, so no matter how much time and thought is spent, it will be in vain!"
"Is it true? How do you know this?"
"Because I am a fortune teller." Yun Fan responded.
Zheng Qidao suddenly heard this new insight, and he immediately became interested. He thought to himself: Could it be that the elixir has always failed to be refined, and the root cause is here!
He quickly stood up and came to Yun Fan's side. I hope he can answer your questions.
"Actually, I know a little bit about the Five Elements and Bagua." Yun Fan continued.
"Yes, you are a physiognomist. Regarding the formation of the five elements, it should not be difficult for you." Zheng Qidao suddenly realized his identity when he thought about it.
"Come on, come on, tell me...how should I place my copper stove so that there will be no problems?" Zheng Qidao looked at the copper stoves in front of him and asked for advice.
Yun Fan took two steps forward and looked at the copper furnace in front of him: "These copper furnaces should be placed at the threshold, but unfortunately, it is getting late, and we have to leave again..."
"Please stay, fortune teller. Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Before Yun Fan could finish his words, he heard Zheng Qidao's urgent voice!
Immediately, he ordered the two apprentices behind him: "Go and clean up the side room to entertain some distinguished guests."
The two apprentices immediately took the order and left.
An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Yun Fan's lips. His trick of playing hard to get has indeed yielded initial results.
Yun Fan just wanted to start with Zheng Qidao's eagerness to refine the elixir of immortality, give him advice, and then pretend to leave, playing hard to get. Such silence made Zheng Qidao change his mind and take the initiative to leave them here.
Because only by staying here and delaying time can Yun Fan come up with a corresponding way to solve the current situation.
…………
In Qin Mengyao's inn.
At this time, Qin Mengyao came to the wine cellar in the backyard alone. I saw Sikong Yujiu in the corner of the second floor of the wine cellar.
At this time, Sikong Zhenjiu's complexion looked much better.
Qin Mengyao: "I have gone to the drug store to prepare the medicinal wine you need according to your prescription."
"With you taking such good care of me, for me, the wine cellar is the best place to stay!" Sikong Zhenjiu couldn't help but smile when he saw Qin Mengyao's arrival.
"I would like to ask, do you know of any medicine that can cure a person's mouth?"
Sikong Zhenjiu said: "Why do you mean what you say? If you hadn't meant anything to me, you wouldn't have risked your life to take me in."
He was very aware of the strength of Xuanming Palace. Once someone was targeted by Xuanming Palace, it was usually difficult to escape. However, Qin Mengyao still took him in in the end and helped him heal. This not only required great courage and courage, And it may be life-threatening at any time. It is indeed valuable!
Qin Mengyao smiled and said: "Even those homeless kittens and puppies wandering on the street, if I see them, I will bring them back; I think no matter how unbearable you are, you are not worse than a dog." Bar!"
"Then just treat me like a dog and do me another favor!" Sikong Yujiu sighed.
"What do you want?"
Sikong Yujiu said in a weak voice: "My back is injured and I can't apply the medicine myself. I want to lend you your precious hand."
"Don't make excuses!" Qin Mengyao was suddenly shocked, thinking that Sikong Yujiu wanted to take advantage of her.
"Just think I'm making excuses." Sikong Yujiu turned his back to Qin Mengyao, took off his clothes, exposed his back, and the unusually obvious palm print: "Sorry to trouble you."
Qin Mengyao's gaze passed slightly, and for just a moment, his brows moved suddenly; what he saw was the palm print, and around the palm print, there was a large piece of skin that had turned into a dark black... This was obviously someone who had been so... Injured by yin and evil power.
"It's really that serious!" If such a serious injury is not treated in time, the consequences will be disastrous.
Qin Mengyao hesitated for a while, but in the end her desire to save people defeated the difference between men and women, and she couldn't care so much anymore.
She began to help Sikong Zhenjiu apply the medicine, working up and down her hands, and her movements seemed to be exceptionally gentle, like a breeze.
Although she was extremely reluctant, she still couldn't bear to reject him. The kind heart in her heart did not allow her to leave him alone, otherwise she would not be at ease.
Sikong Zhenjiu had a smile on his face and seemed to be quite enjoying this feeling. He moved gently and said, "A little up...a little down, a little to the left, a little harder, it feels so comfortable!"
Sikong Zhenjiu was slowly immersed in this feeling as soft as the breeze and floating like a fairy, just like taking a sauna massage now.
Seeing this, Qin Mengyao clenched her jade teeth and hit Sikong Zhenjiu on the back with her jade palm, causing him to grimace in pain!
"You don't need to be so harsh!"
And just when Qin Mengyao was applying medicine to Sikong Zhenjiu, a special "guest" was welcomed into the inn. It would be more accurate to call her not a guest, but a host!
This is an old woman in her sixties, using a cane! She also has another identity - Qin Mengyao's mother-in-law!
This old woman is the biological mother of Qin Mengyao's deceased husband, and Xiaoshan is her grandson.
Speaking of Xiaoshan, it is worth mentioning that he is not Qin Mengyao's biological son, but the child of his husband and his last deceased wife. Xiaoshan's biological mother died in childbirth after giving birth to him. This Qin Mengyao was married by Xiaoshan's father later, and there was no relationship between them. There were some special reasons why Qin Mengyao agreed to marry him.
At this time, seeing this old woman coming, the waiter immediately came to her tremblingly.
I saw her staring at the waiter with anger and "murderous intent" on her face, and asked: "Where is your boss's wife? Where is she?"
"She's over there in the wine cellar."
The old woman snorted angrily, then walked to the wine cellar on crutches.
At this time, Qin Mengyao was still helping Sikong Yujiu apply the medicinal wine on his back.
Sikong Zhenjiu said seriously: "Don't worry, I will leave naturally after I recover from my injury. I don't want to hurt you, but there is no way. I have few friends and many enemies. If something happens... I can only think of this."
Qin Mengyao said: "You really think highly of me!"
"I just want to try my luck."
Qin Mengyao said seriously: "Don't worry, they have already been here, and they shouldn't come back so quickly."
"It's hard to say that the people in Xuanming Palace are not ordinary people." Sikong Yujiu shook his head.
At this moment, Sikong Zhenjiu suddenly heard a series of rhythmic "dong...dong" sounds coming from outside, and he immediately became vigilant.
"Who is it?"
Over the past few days, Sikong Zhenjiu's heart has always been tense. Whenever there is a slightest sign of trouble outside, he will know it immediately.
Suddenly hearing this special noise, Qin Mengyao's heart suddenly became tense and she thought to herself: Why is my mother-in-law here at this time?
Qin Mengyao said quickly: "Lie down quickly."
After she helped Sikong Zhenjiu lie down, she immediately walked out of the wine cellar and closed the door of the wine cellar.
This scene happened to be seen by the old woman who came here.
Qin Mengyao saw her mother-in-law coming and quickly greeted her: "Mother-in-law."
She just snorted coldly: "You're so sneaky, is there a man hiding inside?"
"No way." Qin Mengyao said with a guilty conscience.
Her seemingly casual words were exactly what she said, which immediately made Qin Mengyao panicked, a little at a loss, and unavoidably feeling guilty. Who told her to mind her own business, but she actually felt soft-hearted and actually took in this annoying guy Sikong Zhenjiu to heal his injuries here.
"No?" The mother-in-law said with an unkind look: "If not, why don't you come to pay homage today on my son's death anniversary? Could it be that you forgot?"
"I haven't forgotten." Qin Mengyao immediately replied.
"Oh! You didn't even remember to go there, you are so cruel!" The old woman was even more furious when she heard this, pointing her finger at her nose and teaching her a lesson.
"It's not that my daughter-in-law doesn't want to visit the grave. I just want to take my husband's favorite steamed chicken with him. As soon as the chicken is steamed, I will set off immediately."
"Humph, you don't have to quibble. Ever since you agreed to marry my son, our Min family has not had a good life. Not long after you came here, my son fell ill. You..." The old woman pointed at Qin Mengyao and said fiercely. : "You are really a bad guy! It was you who killed my son!"
During this process, Qin Mengyao actually didn't say a word. She bowed her head deeply and looked deeply ashamed.
After her mother-in-law finished venting, Qin Mengyao whispered: "I know it's my fault, and I will serve my mother-in-law and take care of Xiaoshan on behalf of my husband.
"Cough cough cough!"
The old woman coughed suddenly. Seeing this, Qin Mengyao hurriedly stepped forward to grab her hand with both hands and asked with concern: "Mother-in-law, how are you?"
The old woman threw her away and shouted: "Why are you so pretentious? I know that you have always wanted to leave us, mother-in-law and grandson."
"No," Qin Mengyao immediately argued, "I have never thought of it that way."
"Do you think I don't know about you and the man on the mountain?"
Qin Mengyao knew that what she was talking about was the white ink painting, so she explained: "The man on the mountain is just Xiaoshan's savior. Mother-in-law, please don't misunderstand me!"
"There must be a reason for groundless rumors!" The old woman warned sternly: "You'd better give me some peace of mind. If I hear any gossip outside, I must make you look good! Humph!"
After saying that, the old woman slammed her cane and walked away.
"Mother-in-law, please go slowly." Before leaving, Qin Mengyao did not forget to remind her.
Sikong Yujiu listened to everything that happened between Qin Mengyao and her mother-in-law outside. He couldn't help but want to laugh when he imagined the scene where Qin Mengyao was lectured by the old woman until she was speechless and submissive.
This person who is not afraid of anything is actually afraid of some people.
After sending her mother-in-law away, Qin Mengyao opened the door of the wine cellar again.
Seeing her come in, Sikong Zhenjiu, who was lying there, struggled to get up and joked: "There is really a mountain as high as a mountain. There are people... who are more difficult to deal with than you."
Qin Mengyao stared at him coldly with her beautiful eyes and said, "You are not allowed to say that about my mother-in-law!"
"She is so cruel to you, and you still respect her so much. I believe you must love your late husband very much. Speaking of which, he must be handsome and handsome, about the same as me!" Sikong Zhenjiu said shamelessly.
"Don't compare you with him!" Qin Mengyao said coldly: "I think you should know how to use this medicinal wine, so you don't need my help."
After the words fell, Qin Mengyao turned around and left. Today, she has to do something more important!
Because today is the death anniversary of her late husband.
