There is a small square between Sanqing Hall and Qiuzu Hall. In the middle of the square is a large bronze tripod.
To the west of the bronze tripod is a living room, where pilgrims come to offer incense and take a short rest.
Behind the guest hall is the Yuanjun Hall, and behind the Yuanjun Hall is the Eight Immortals Hall.
Behind the Eight Immortals Hall is the road heading down the mountain from the west.
Just now, Zhao Chuan walked to the back of the Eight Immortals Hall before he remembered to return to the dining hall, so Qi Yatou was also here waiting for his return.
But when Zhao Chuan came back, Qi Yatou was missing.
Zhao Chuan couldn't help but get angry again, "This little naughty girl, it's not honest to ask you to wait for me. Where are you going to play in this moment?"
Zhao Chuan looked around and saw no one, and shouted a few more times.
"I'm here!"
"Shut up, if you yell again I'll kill you!"
There was a scolding sound coming from nearby, which frightened Zhao Chuan.
Zhao Chuan looked around hurriedly, but there were no tall trees blocking the place in front, back, left, or right. Except for the flat ground, there were rocks, flowers, shrubs, and the Eight Immortals Palace behind him.
Zhao Chuan shouted again, but there was no sound.
Oops!
Zhao Chuan thought about the voice just now, turned around and ran back to the Eight Immortals Palace.
The Hall of Eight Immortals enshrines Taoist immortals who became mortals and became immortals. Usually, the temple has the best incense. At this time, something unexpected happened in the Qingfeng Observation Hall. There was not even a human hair in the Observation Hall. Where did the sound come from from the Eight Immortals Palace? It must be the Seventh Girl inside.
Zhao Chuan ran to the door of the main hall and saw that the door was ajar. He immediately thought that something was wrong. Qi Yatou must be here, because whether it is a temple or a Taoist temple, the door of the hall is always open, and it must be abnormal to close it.
Zhao Chuan ran to the door and did not immediately open the door and go in. Instead, he stood by the door and listened.
"Papa" Zhao Chuan first heard a few sounds of slapping the flesh, but the sound was very thick and dull. It was obviously different from the sound of the Nanfeng County Magistrate slapping his concubine's butt before. It felt like a butcher slapping his concubine on the buttocks. The sound of slapping pork to death.
Zhao Chuan only listened for a moment and was sure that there was someone inside. They were the few quacks who were waiting for money.
"Spit out the inner elixir quickly!" This was the voice of the old man among the three, obviously threatening.
"Hurry! Otherwise, I'll start digging!" The voice was clearly that of the tall, thin man with a sharp beard and a black beard, urging him urgently.
"Little beauty, if you don't obey me, I will rape you first and then kill you! Hahaha!" Then came the lewd laughter of the short fat man dressed as a warrior.
"Three of you, some of you are cultivators of different spirits like me, so why should I suffer?" This was the voice of the little fox Qi Yatou.
Sure enough, Qi Yatou was inside. After making sure, Zhao Chuan gently pushed the door open through a gap, took a look inside, and then squeezed in sideways.
This is a long and narrow worship hall, with a row of immortals enshrined on the back wall.
In front of a fairy incense table in the far right corner of the hall, next to a thick red pillar, behind the pillar Qi Yatou was surrounded by three guys in the corner.
The short, fat man dressed as a martial artist was shirtless, patting his fat belly from time to time and speaking obscenely.
The tall, thin man with a sharp mouth and a black beard held a dagger in his hand and was making gestures at Qi Ya's head.
Zhao Chuan glanced behind the door and saw a short wooden stick, which was extremely smooth. He didn't know what it was used for in the palace, so he picked it up and walked lightly to the corner where several people were standing.
As if he felt someone coming in, the old man turned around. Upon seeing this, Zhao Chuan immediately hid behind a nearby pillar.
"Spit it out quickly, and I'll let you go!" the old man said in a more serious tone.
Zhao Chuan waited for a moment and then poked his head out again. The scene in front of him shocked him. He saw three people falling on the ground. No, it should be said that two people fell on the ground. The other one fell on the ground was a big dog. Black mice like domestic dogs.
Qi Yatou is leaning over to check.
Zhao Chuan hurriedly walked out of the pillar where he was hiding, and was about to ask Qi Yatou when he saw her holding a dagger in her hand and slashing open the belly of the big rat.
I'm good. Zhao Chuan was startled and said "Yeah". He didn't expect that these seven girls were really decisive in killing.
Qi Yatou ignored Zhao Chuan's screams and paid no attention to him. She focused on cutting the meat with a dagger. Then she reached into the big mouse's belly for a while and found a black spherical object the size of an egg.
"This inner elixir is really big, but it's a pity that it's too shallow and of no great use!" Qi Yatou carefully looked at the black animal inner elixir in her hand and said to herself.
Is this the inner alchemy?
Zhao Chuan stepped forward curiously, wanting to come over and put it in his hands to look at it carefully.
"Stop looking and get out of here!" Qi Yatou wanted to pass the inner elixir and pulled Zhao Chuan out of the hall.
Zhao Chuan said that you are more decisive than me. You killed three people when you asked. You killed three people in an instant. It was really amazing. How did you do it?
Qi Yatou said I would just kill the big rat.
Zhao Chuan said then just leave them here? It has to be dealt with.
Qi Yatou said that those two people will wake up soon and can handle this, so we don’t need to worry about it.
It turned out that those two people were not dead, only the rat spirit was dead.
"It turned out to be a rat spirit. No wonder this guy didn't look like a good person before." Zhao Chuan suddenly realized and looked back at the big rat on the ground that was disemboweled by Qi Yatou.
"This guy has evil intentions and wants my inner elixir. Why don't we kill him?" Qi Yatou said.
"Well, this rat spirit deserves to die because you are smart."
"Oh, it's not that I'm smart, it's just that I'm a little better at it, otherwise I'll be the one who dies!" Qi Yatou sighed with emotion.
Qi Yatou's words made Zhao Chuan feel the same way. If you fall behind, you will be beaten. If you don't upgrade, you can't protect yourself.
Zhao Chuan said that he should go down the mountain quickly. He went down to eat. The sun was getting high and he was already hungry.
After leaving the main hall and walking a few steps, Zhao Chuan suddenly remembered something and returned to the main hall.
When he came back, he had some money in his hands.
"Thinking that these three people love money so much, they probably have a lot of money on them. Look, it's true. There are several pieces of gold next to the dead mouse!"
Zhao Chuan showed Qi Yatou what he was holding, and then put it in his arms.
On the way down the mountain, Zhao Chuan asked the black rat spirit’s inner elixir if I could eat it.
Qi Yatou didn't answer immediately. After thinking for a long time, she said that the color of the inner elixir was not good, and the cultivation level of this rat spirit was not high. Judging from the thin and cunning appearance before, she probably didn't bother to practice after becoming a spirit. It was inferred that it was not possible to become a spirit before. It was obtained by upgrading through cultivation. It must have been transformed into essence after eating something...
Qi Yatou talked for a long time, but Zhao Chuan didn't understand it very well, so he simply asked her directly if he could eat it?
Qi Yatou said what should I tell you? You can eat it, but because this inner elixir has no essence, I'm afraid it won't have much effect on you if you eat it. Of course, the hope of unlocking the acupoints is extremely slim.
Zhao Chuan was very disappointed when he heard it, and said in a sigh, "It's just that it's useless to eat it! Okay, I understand."
Qi Yatou smiled and said, don't sigh like that. Although taking it directly won't do much, you can make elixirs with other things, such as the snake skin you got yesterday...
Zhao Chuan became happy and said with a smile: How come I forgot about this matter? Fortunately, I have learned alchemy. It seems that impatience is a big problem in practice.
After going down the mountain, there is a town not far below the mountain, that is Xintang Town.
Zhao Chuan is no stranger to this Xintang Town.
He found the inn where he stayed last time with the Jin family's grandfather and grandson. He looked at the sun and saw that it was almost noon. He saw "Sun Family Inn" written on the cloth banner at the door of the inn.
When someone comes, the waiter immediately greets them with a smile.
"Oh, hello, young master! Long time no see. Are you going to stay in the hotel?"
"Yeah! Let's eat something first." Zhao Chuan responded casually.
"Young Master, have you saved another one this time? You are truly a kind man with a bodhisattva heart." The waiter glanced at Qi Yatou behind Zhao Chuan and flattered him with a smile.
"No, this is my follower!" Zhao Chuan looked back at Qi Yatou and smiled, "Rescuing people all day long, how can it be such a coincidence."
"Hey, don't tell me, there are so many coincidences in my inn. No, a guest who stayed at the inn saved a beautiful woman the day before yesterday." The waiters in the inn are chatty, how else can they greet the guests.
The waiter enthusiastically let the two of them into the inn, wiped a table in the lobby quickly, poured tea first, and allowed the guests to take a break while drinking tea.
"That's a good relationship. It's great to have such a coincidence. A hero saves a beauty, and the beauty will give her body to him again." Zhao Chuan sat down and grinned at Qi Yatou who also sat down opposite. Let the waiter bring some good wine and food.
Qi Yatou gave Zhao Chuan a stern look and turned her head to the side.
"I accepted that I should be happy to be rescued, but for some reason, the woman cried for three days. To this day, she still hasn't eaten or drank, and she hasn't left!"
"The beautiful woman was rescued. She cried for three days, refused to eat or drink, and didn't leave?" Zhao Chuan was a little confused.
"Yes, people are up there." The waiter served the food and went to pour the wine.
"Are you sure that woman was rescued? Wasn't she kidnapped?" Zhao Chuan threw a piece of meat into his mouth. His uncle's is better to go outside. I really don't want to stay in Qingfengguan. Not to mention being a vegetarian, there are still people who don't care about me. It's pleasing to the eye, look at those two Taoist boys, they have been here for six years, they are so thin and pitiful.
"It's definitely not kidnapped." The waiter brought up two more bottles of wine. "The guest staying in the hotel went out during the day and only came at night. The woman stayed in the house alone. If she had been kidnapped, she would have run away long ago. ?”
Zhao Chuan asked the waiter at the store if he had seen it with his own eyes. The waiter said yes, I was the one who delivered the food during the day, but the woman did not want to go downstairs to eat.
Qi Yatou likes to drink, so Zhao Chuan and she drank a bottle each.
After having a good meal, Zhao Chuan told the waiter that he would not leave for the time being. He would go to Jiangzhou City to do some errands and come back to stay overnight.
The waiter took Zhao Chuan and the two upstairs. The upstairs was an inn and the downstairs was a wine shop. This was the case for all the inns in the north and south of the world.
Zhao Chuan wanted an upper room, but there were not many upper rooms. Generally, there were only three or four inns, because after all, there were only a few rich people.
By chance, the waiter was worried because he hadn't checked into the room yet. It happened that the guest next door to the rescued woman was about to check out. "It's really noisy. I stayed here for two nights and cried so much that I couldn't sleep!" A man who seemed to be running away said Shang's southern barbarians cursed.
Zhao Chuan was arranged to move in.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Chuan checked into his guest room, he heard a woman's cry from next door.
It wasn't loud, but it sounded miserable.
Zhao Chuan is an emotional person and couldn't help but frown after hearing this.
Qi Yatou said it's past noon. Didn't you say you were going to Jiangzhou City?
Zhao Chuan said, what are we going to do in Jiangzhou City? We went down the mountain to eat this time, because Qingfengguan didn’t want us to eat. I just told the waiter that I was going to Jiangzhou City as an excuse. In fact, I didn’t want to go back to Qingfengguan.
Qi Yatou said, didn’t you say this morning that you would collect herbs and use snake skin to make elixirs after dinner? Now that the Black Rat Essence Inner Elixir is available, do you still want to collect the medicine?
Zhao Chuan was distraught when he heard the woman next door crying. He thought for a moment and thought about picking some medicine. It was so tiring, so he might as well pay for it. There must be a lot of people picking medicine at the foot of Lingyin Mountain.
"Oh, does it cost a lot of money? Good elixirs are not cheap." Qi Yatou said.
"Didn't I just get some money on the mountain?" Zhao Chuan pointed to his arms, indicating that he was not short of money.
