For alchemy and casting, cauldron fire is crucial. Fire is different from demon fire, elixir fire, real fire, earth fire, stone fire, meteor fire, sun fire, underworld fire, thunder fire, poisonous fire, and sky fire. Feng Huang is an expert in controlling fire. He is familiar with the nature of fire and knows all about underworld fire. It is not conducive to smelting hardware, and there is no other way to force the test. It is a dead horse being treated as a living horse. Even Feng Huang was helpless, and no one else could intervene.
Feng Huang refused to give up and made his last effort. Wei Shiqi waited for a moment and asked, "How long has it been burning?"
Xiaobai smiled bitterly and said: "It has been seventeen days and nights. He has not slept and has only relied on pills to hold on."
"Forget it, stop it, I'll think of another way later." Master Bu Xu's Xiantian Cauldron is the most precious treasure in the cave. It is reasonable that ordinary cauldron fire cannot melt it down. Wei Shiqi had already had a premonition and prepared a shortcut. , but this method is quite risky, and he still hesitates.
She was the one who came up with the idea, but it turned out to be too ambitious and beyond her capabilities, which actually caused Feng Huang to suffer. Xiaobai felt a little regretful and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello and asked him to stop. Feng Huang ignored what he heard, and after a few breaths he finally woke up and muttered: "Ah? What? What's wrong?" Xiao Bai pursed his lips, and subconsciously turned his head. The figure of Shi Qi was stunned and hurriedly threw away He lowered his fire-gathering formation, rubbed his hands and stepped forward to salute.
We haven’t seen him for a long time. Feng Huang is also old. He is thin and thin, with white hair and beard. His forehead has deep wrinkles. He is smoky all year round and his old eyes are dim. He looks like he is on the verge of death. Wei Shiqi sighed secretly and comforted him a few words. Feng Huang kept nodding and smiling, unable to even finish his words. He steeled himself and extinguished the underworld fire. He relaxed in one breath. His strength seemed to be drained from his body all of a sudden. He stood up. Unsteady, he could only apologize in a hoarse voice, hold on to the stone wall and sway to the side, sit on the cold rock and take a breath, looking exhausted.
Xiaobai took a bottle of elixir from his sleeve and put it next to Feng Huang's hand. Feng Huang stretched out his bony hand, shook it and poured out a pill, then shook it again and brought it to his mouth, stretched out his tongue and licked it. He swallowed it with his neck straight, and after a while, an abnormal blush appeared on his face, and he felt slightly better. In the past six months, he had worked hard and tried every means to smelt the Xiantian Cauldron, but there was still no progress at all. Now, he could only express his shame to Wei Shiqi.
Xiaobai recited a spell to put away the Xiantian Cauldron, and looked at Wei Shiqi to listen to his instructions. Wei Shiqi saw that Feng Huang was drowsy and said, "Mr. Feng, please go and raise him. Xiaobai, you come with me——"
The two left the fire room and returned to the Fire Crow Hall to sit down. Jin Xiaodie served tea diligently and stood aside with a low eyebrow. Xiaobai thought she was in the way, so he sent her to the fire room to take care of Feng Huang. He must let him Have a good rest.
Wei Shiqi pondered for a long time and finally made up his mind. He ordered Xiaobai to return the Xiantian Cauldron to Ruan Jing and put the matter of forging the Dragon Slaying Sword on hold for the time being.
What does "put on hold" mean? What is "thinking of other ways"? Xiaobai guessed that he had made up his mind, couldn't restrain his curiosity, and asked around and over again. Wei Shiqi said: "I thought of a way, it may be feasible, but I have to wait for the opportunity."
"What time?"
Wei Shiqi took a few sips of hot tea and said with a smile: "The secret must not be leaked!"
Xiaobai stopped asking, thought for a while, changed the topic, and talked about the various actions of the "parliament" in the past six months. While talking, he paid attention to Wei Shiqi's expression, but saw that he was calm and just listened. Don't take it to heart at all. Obviously, the internal intrigues in the "parliament" did not arouse his interest. He seemed to be accustomed to these and had no intention of intervening.
Could it be that he had foreseen all this before designing the five-person collegial system? In other words, these balancing concessions and exchanges of compromises are his real purpose?
With all kinds of doubts lingering in his heart, Xiaobai felt that he was becoming more and more Wei Shiqi.
After chatting for a while, Wei Shiqi flicked his sleeves and drifted away.
After leaving the Fire Crow Palace, on a whim, he used the power of his soul to slightly change his appearance, blended in with the crowd, and wandered around Dongming City. It had been a while since he'd been here, and there seemed to be a bit of novelty in the city, which touched his eyes and tickled his heart. But when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't find anything. The feeling of déjà vu was like that after moving. Returning to the old house, the streets are full of people and shops, and the nostalgia gives it a different style.
With no one to accompany him, he walked around alone, listened, and felt the ray of God's will in the dark. However, when he deliberately searched for it, he accidentally couldn't find it.
It has been a long time since the last natural disaster struck. There are still Tianliang Star, Tiantong Star and Tianxiang Star left in the Southern Dipper. Wei Shiqi plans to send the Xiantian Cauldron to the place of starfall in advance, destroy the cauldron body with sky fire, and use suitable fragments to build it Dragon Slaying Knife. Heaven and earth are the furnace, creation is the work, Yin and Yang are the charcoal, and all things are the copper. Is there any more powerful cauldron than the Earth Splitting Stars?
However, there is still much to be done to turn this vision into reality.
Urgent but not anxious, Jin Sansheng has not yet broken through the sword barrier, and it is still uncertain whether the Demon Suppressing Tower can reappear in the world. Attacking the black dragon means a complete break with the demon phoenix. Before the situation is unclear, it is better not to break up too soon. .
Wei Shiqi made up his mind and stopped thinking about it. He randomly found a wine shop owned by a mortal and drank a few glasses of wine.
As luck would have it, this wine shop was opened by shopkeeper Tian. However, Wei Shiqi had changed his appearance and he didn't realize it. He just treated him as an ordinary monk and served him carefully. He welcomed the elegant scholar and paid tribute to him with good wine and good food. A table.
Wei Shiqi didn't say anything. He swept away the wine and meat, threw down a piece of gold, and left quietly. Shi Shiran left Dongming City.
Outside the city were desolate ruins. He returned to the secluded river bend along the river bank. The hut was still there, with a lamp like a bean, and vague figures of people swaying. The river flowed, quiet and beautiful.
Wei Shiqi stood in the distance for a long time, listening to the sound of running water, and guessing who was waiting for him.
In the quiet night, euphemistic singing sounded, in a completely unfamiliar language. Every word and every syllable touched his heart and reminded him of the distant past.
He had heard this song in Chixia Valley, he had heard it under the Demon Suppressing Tower, and he had heard it at the bottom of the East China Sea.
That was Ruan Jing, the Ruan Jing who remained in Bian Ya's body.
Wei Shiqi smiled slightly, and just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly had a sudden impulse and stood frozen on the spot, like a clay or wood sculpture. This time, his feelings were strong and clear, as if his throat was being strangled by fate's hand, his breathing was difficult, and he had a splitting headache.
The strange feeling disappeared in an instant. He took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and laughed softly.
The singing stopped abruptly, and Ruan Jing's small figure rushed out of the hut, throwing herself into his arms like the wind, raising her face, her eyes rolling, and her smile as bright as a flower.
Wei Shiqi touched her head and said, "Xiaobai returned the Xiantian Cauldron to you?"
"Yeah!" she replied forcefully.
"Then, come with me for a trip to the south of the Yangtze River." Wei Shiqi raised his head, looking beyond the darkness to the land of the south of the Yangtze River where the mountains are warm and the water is soft, Wu Yu murmured.
