After noon, Wei Shiqi went to Dinglukeng to work as a coolie for Feng Huang for several hours. At dusk, when the sky was full of glow, he found a spring in the dense forest, washed his face, and drank a sweet drink. The spring water refreshes the spirit.
Sitting quietly in the mountains and forests, watching the clouds rise and disappear, thinking about nothing, just letting yourself go, letting the dusk thicken little by little, covering the heaven and earth tightly, leaving no trace behind.
Bathed in the moonlight and starlight, he spit out the demon elixir and absorbed the essence of the moonlight.
Another night passed, and Wei Shiqi was in high spirits, covered with the morning mist, and went to Wuya Temple to find the Qingming Festival.
Walking along the creaking plank road to the Yunge Pavilion, Wei Shiqi raised his head and called out "Qingming". A moment later, a small head poked out from the top of the "half pavilion" and shouted: " I’m busy, wait for me!”
Just wait, Wei Shiqi leaned on the railing, looking at the vast sea of clouds, his anxiety disappeared, and his mood gradually calmed down.
This wait lasted for most of an hour.
The sound of thumping footsteps came from Yun Pavilion. Qingming trotted down on her short legs, with a bulging bag in her arms. Wei Shiqi couldn't help but laugh: "What good stuff did you find again?"
Qingming didn't shy away from him either. He took out a jade box, waved it in front of his eyes and said, "The shaped wild ginseng is crunchy and crunchy. It's a good thing! The master hid it very well and it took a lot of effort to find it!"
Wei Shiqi could only respond with a wry smile, "Aren't you afraid that the leader will be angry?"
Qingming smiled and said: "Angry? Why are you angry? As long as you find it, it is mine. The really important things are not here."
The formed wild ginseng was not an important thing. In Qingming's eyes, it was just a snack for fun. Wei Shiqi couldn't help but laugh at it. He suddenly remembered that an old naughty boy named Qian had buried "landmines" under his daughter's quilt, including toys, mirrors, brushes, inkstones, and writing brushes, layer by layer, teasing his daughter to search for them - the leader and Qingming were probably playing something similar. game.
He was a little sad.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Qingming patted his chest, "You're not trying to make fun of me, are you?"
"Can you walk away?"
Qingming scratched his head, his face drooped, and he muttered: "The master doesn't allow me to go down the mountain..."
Wei Shiqi smiled, took out the lazy six-winged water snake from his sleeve, and said: "This is the winnings from the last year-end gambling. There is a 'jade horn' in the snake's slough. It's still alive, but it's not in good spirits." , it doesn’t even eat blood food, it seems to be sick.”
Qingming said: "It's not that I'm sick, it's that you're not feeding the right way, 'Jade Horn' is a poisonous thing, just wait..." He remembered something, left Wei Shiqi behind, and rushed up to the Cloud Pavilion, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets. , took something, and ran down again, holding a porcelain bottle the size of a snuff bottle in his hand. It was all white, with a peach blossom painted near the mouth of the bottle.
"This is……"
"Have you ever heard of Peach Blossom Miasma?"
"Peach blossom miasma? Could it be that the peach blossoms fell on the ground, accumulated thickly, and rotted and evaporated into a highly toxic miasma?"
Qingming sneered and said: "How can peach blossoms turn into poison! Peach blossom miasma is a mixed poison made from the venom of the ten-thousand-year-old blood python as the main medicine, mixed with seven kinds of poisons such as Mushu grass and ambergris. It is as beautiful as a peach blossom. , one drop can turn into a poisonous mist that fills the sky, it is the most vicious. There is only one bottle like this in the alchemy room, borrow it first and feed it to your little snake, it will be an advantage for you this time!"
Wei Shiqi knew full well that the so-called "borrowing" was a euphemism for "stealing", but because of the generosity of the Qing Ming Kang family leader, he was happy to pretend to be ignorant and just pretended not to know.
Qingming moved his five fingers, urging out more than ten sword energy, which were as thin as cicada wings and attached to the porcelain bottle in layers. He brought the porcelain bottle to the mouth of the little snake, lightly scratched it with his thumb, pushed the cork open a thin slit, and a wisp of The pink poisonous mist slowly escaped, but before it dissipated, it was firmly locked by the sword energy, flowing erratically, changing like a dense cloud.
Wei Shiqi couldn't help but praise: "It's so beautiful!"
The coiled little snake poked its head out and spoke softly, but did not dare to get close. It seemed that it was aware of the danger and was quite afraid. Qingming released the sword energy, and the poisonous mist poured out. The little snake couldn't resist the temptation, and opened its mouth to inhale, and a subtle light shone on its forehead.
The six-winged water snake had a good appetite and took more than ten puffs of poisonous mist before feeling satisfied. It retracted into Wei Shiqi's palm and fell into a drowsy state. Qingming put away the peach blossom miasma and said: "'Yujiao' needs to be fed with highly toxic substances every once in a while. It is best to go to Tulong Cave or Poisonous Spider Valley to collect it. The more toxic, the better. Don't worry, 'Yujiao' He is so alert that he cannot be poisoned by ordinary poisons."
Wei Shiqi put the little snake into his sleeve, took out the golden jade ball and the fine iron Buddha statue, and asked: "I don't know what the use of these two other things are?"
Qingming said "Hey", grabbed the wrong golden jade ball, and said: "Liu Que exchanged it with you?"
"Yes, he wants the three-legged cauldron."
"That's the Silver Light Cauldron. You took advantage of it. It was Qu Hong's. He kept it for many years. I don't know why he took it out as a lottery ticket. There is a demon elixir of the Earth Dragon and Snake King sealed in the gold jade ball. Take it out and feed it." Jade horn, it couldn't be better." Qingming played with the jade ball and pushed the gold ornaments casually, making a constant gurgling sound. "But your little snake is too small. It can't bear it now. In a few years, when it grows up, Let’s talk about the thickness of the arms.”
It's as cute as a pinky finger, but it's as thick as an arm, and Wei Shiqi feels very angry when he thinks about it.
Qingming dropped the gold and jade ball, picked up the fine iron Buddha statue, looked at it, and said: "This is called the Three-faced Buddha. It is a relic of the Kunlun Patriarch tens of thousands of years ago. The master said that there is a sword secret hidden in it, but no one has found it. Come out, Shi Tiezhong took out the Three-faced Buddha, and he probably made a mistake."
"What sword technique?" Wei Shiqi was a little curious.
"I don't know. Just look for it carefully. If you find it, don't keep it to yourself. Tell me. I appreciate your love."
Wei Shiqi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm sure."
