Ning Xiaochuan breathed a sigh of relief, finally holding on to his life and not being thrown to death. That would be too frustrating.
"Bang"
Suddenly, a heavy object fell from above and hit Ning Xiaochuan on his back.
It’s Princess Lanfei
She also suffered extremely serious injuries and fell off the cliff a moment later than Ning Xiaochuan.
At this moment, she landed on Ning Xiaochuan's back, and she instinctively opened her hands to hug Ning Xiaochuan's body, and uttered a dying voice: "Save me...save...me..."
Originally, Ning Xiaochuan was seriously injured, but now he was hit by Princess Lan Fei. His forehead was black and he was knocked unconscious.
The two of them fell straight towards the bottom of the mountain.
Halfway up the Blood Mountain, there is a steep stone wall with a huge cave carved into it.
"Mother-in-law, someone fell from the top again... Hey, no, it's Xiaochuan. Mother-in-law, please save him quickly." Yu Qianqian stood on the stone wall, looking at Ning Xiaochuan and Princess Lanfei who fell, so she quickly begged.
road.
The ugly old woman said without hesitation: "Why should I save him?"
"How can you be so cold?" Yu Qianqian said.
The ugly old woman said: "Okay, if you kneel down to save me, I will save him."
Yu Qianqian's status is noble and her heart is as high as the sky. She can avoid kneeling even when she meets King Jinpeng and Emperor Yulan. She has hardly knelt down for anyone since she was a child.
When she saw that Ning Xiaochuan and Princess Lanfei were about to disappear from sight, she felt extremely anxious and knelt down directly on the ground, "Begging my mother-in-law to save him."
"You are too contemptuous of your own knees. Only a stupid woman will kneel down for a man."
Yu Qianqian didn't refute, she just stared at the ugly old woman eagerly.
The ugly old woman stood next to Yu Qianqian, her body was stooped and skinny, and she slowly stretched out a shriveled palm.
A burst of energy escaped from the palm, condensing into a palm print tens of meters long, extending into the void, holding Ning Xiaochuan and Princess Lanfei in the palm print, and then brought them back to the cave and placed them on the ground.
Ning Xiaochuan only felt extreme pain in his brain. His eyes were dark and his whole body was cold. Suddenly a warm current flowed into his body, which reduced the pain in his brain a lot.
Gradually, Ning Xiaochuan opened his eyes, and light appeared in front of him.
"Xiaochuan, are you awake?" Yu Qianqian pressed her fingers on Ning Xiaochuan's wrist to help him breathe. Seeing that he woke up, she quietly took her jade hand back and hid it secretly behind her back.
Ning Xiaochuan slowly sat up and observed the surrounding scene, his thoughts slowly returned to his brain.
"I fell from the top of the Blood Mountain and I didn't die? Your Highness, it was you who saved me?" Ning Xiaochuan said.
Yu Qianqian shook her head, looked into the depths of the cave, and said, "No, it was my mother-in-law who saved you."
Ning Xiaochuan followed Yu Qianqian's gaze and saw the ugly old woman sitting cross-legged in the cave. In front of her stood a red ancient cauldron, which was more than two meters high. There was a burning furnace underneath.
flame.
Murong Wushuang was adding pieces of firewood to the bottom of the alchemy cauldron, complaining about something, looking unwilling to do so.
Ning Xiaochuan recognized the cauldron. It was the ancient alchemy cauldron that he and Princess Lanfei brought out of the Demon Palace. After knocking it off the cliff, it still fell into the hands of the ugly old woman.
The alchemy cauldron became more and more dazzling as the flames roasted it. Lines of dragons and snakes formed on the cauldron wall, as if there were hundreds of dragons and snakes swimming on the cauldron wall.
The things brought out from the Demon Palace are naturally extremely valuable.
Ning Xiaochuan was seriously injured. He stopped talking, closed his eyes, circulated the profound energy in his body, and began to recover from his injuries.
There is a mass of medicinal gas in the body.
Obviously this was an intermediate healing pill that Yu Qianqian had given him. The medicinal properties and energy of this intermediate pill had not yet been completely melted. Under the impact of Ning Xiaochuan's use of mysterious energy, the speed of the intermediate pill's melting suddenly became faster.
With the help of the intermediate healing elixir, Ning Xiaochuan's injuries recovered faster.
The value of an intermediate healing pill is not low. Ning Xiaochuan silently remembered this favor in his heart and was grateful to Yu Qianqian.
When Ning Xiaochuan fully controlled his injuries and opened his eyes again, the sky had completely darkened, and a cold wind was blowing throughout the Blood Mountain.
In the magic palace on the top of the mountain, the cries of Yin soldiers and dragon souls can be heard, which makes people feel a kind of awe from the heart.
Ning Xiaochuan's eyes were fixed on the ugly old woman again. Who was this old woman?
Why do you live alone in this bloody mountain?
And she can actually turn dead people into corpse slaves. What does she have to do with the Demon Palace on the top of the mountain?
This old woman is full of mysteries
Ning Xiaochuan walked over, bowed respectfully to the ugly old woman, and said, "Thank you, senior, for saving my life."
The ugly old woman slowly opened her eyes, glanced at Ning Xiaochuan, and said lightly: "No need to thank me. If that girl hadn't knelt down to beg me, I wouldn't have saved you. If you want to thank her, just thank her."
Ning Xiaochuan's heart was shocked and he stared at Yu Qianqian.
Yu Qianqian felt a little panicked, but she still pretended to be calm and said: "Don't get me wrong, I did it because...because you risked your life in the Demon Palace to get the ancient alchemy cauldron, which is considered to be saving my life. You saved my life.
, I saved your life, we are evenly matched, no one owes anyone anything."
"Brother Chuan, I owe you a life." Murong Wushuang was still chopping firewood and placing the firewood under the alchemy cauldron. He was so tired that he was sweating like a coolie.
Ning Xiaochuan's eyes were still fixed on Yu Qianqian, and he bowed deeply and said: "Ning Xiaochuan will never forget the kindness shown by Your Highness the Princess, and will definitely return this kindness to Your Highness in the future."
Yu Qianqian felt a little secretly happy. It seemed good that he owed her a favor. She pretended to be indifferent and said: "You said this, I didn't force you."
Ning Xiaochuan stared at the ancient alchemy cauldron and asked, "What is refined in that cauldron?"
Murong Wushuang had a strange look on his face, and said with an exaggerated expression: "Human"
"Refining people?" Ning Xiaochuan said.
Murong Wushuang nodded and continued to add firewood under the cauldron, "Princess Lanfei"
As soon as Murong Wushuang finished speaking, a fragrance that was the same as the alchemy energy emitted from the alchemy cauldron.
The ugly old woman opened her eyes, and two rays of light shot out from her turbid eyes. With a wave of her arm, the alchemy cauldron lid flew up, and streaks of rays of light shot out from it.
"Bang"
Princess Lan Fei slowly flew up from the alchemy cauldron, her slender and soft body covered with a layer of alchemy mist, suspended above the ancient alchemy cauldron, her eyes closed tightly, and the tip of her pink nose was breathing softly.
Ning Xiaochuan said: "Senior, are you trying to make her into a human elixir?"
The ugly old woman rolled her eyes at him and said, "Didn't you say that I can't completely resurrect the dead? I am going to completely remove the corpse energy from her body and turn her into a real living person."
For a spiritual nourisher, the greatest honor is to have the means to "resurrect the dead". Every great spiritual nourisher is working hard for this goal.
The ugly old woman is also a great spiritual healer. She naturally hopes that she can truly bring people back to life. This will be a proof of her strength.
Use the power of the ancient alchemy cauldron to refine the corpse energy in the half-corpse slave.
Princess Lan Fei's body slowly fell to the ground. Yu Qianqian quickly wrapped a robe around her body, then laid her down on the stone bed and lay down smoothly.
The ugly old woman waved her arm again, and the alchemy cauldron cover fell back, restraining the alchemy cauldron again.
Although it was already night, Ning Xiaochuan left this cave and came to the blood pool under the blood mountain.
Standing by the blood pool, Ning Xiaochuan looked at the waterfall falling from the clouds and mist, "Xin'er, even if you are dead, I will find your body and bring you back to Jiangehou Mansion."
Ning Xiaochuan's feet exuded mysterious energy, and his body leaped more than six meters high, landing on a dangerous cliff to look for Ning Xiner's body.
At the edge of the five-color miasma forest, Ning Xiaochuan found a female corpse. Her flesh and blood were blurred, and most of her body had been eaten by wild beasts. Her appearance was completely unrecognizable.
"No, not Xin'er"
Ning Xiaochuan continued to search and found several female corpses. Some were poisoned to death by poison, and some were killed by other warriors.
I searched for most of the night and found nothing.
When Ning Xiaochuan returned to the blood pool again, he suddenly saw a red light floating above the blood pool, and he let out a cry of resistance.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch"
It's the little red dragon, with a cloud of auspicious clouds covering its body, and a pair of fleshy wings on its back, gently flapping in the air.
It was flying above the blood pool, its eyes scanning the surroundings, as if it was looking for something?
When Ning Xiaochuan found it, its eyes were also fixed on Ning Xiaochuan, and it suddenly became happy and made a "ouch, ouch, ouch" sound in its mouth.
Um?
In the past, this little dragon would be very scared when seeing him. Why is it so happy today?
The little red dragon stretched out a small paw, pointed in a direction in the night, and made a sound of "Ouch, Ouch, Ouch". Seeing that Ning Xiaochuan could not understand its voice, it scratched its head anxiously, and then
Fly in the direction it just pointed.
Does it want to take me somewhere?
A pair of fuzzy wings condensed on Ning Xiaochuan's back. He flapped his wings and chased after the red dragon.
The little red dragon flew faster and faster, shuttled between the dangerous cliffs, and flew above the head of a girl. It stared at the girl below with joy, and let out another moaning sound.
The girl standing below was Ning Xiner. She was wearing thin clothes and had long black and smooth hair. She raised her small face and said, "Xiaohong, have you found my brother's bones?"
The little red dragon was so angry that his head was smoking. He shook his head vigorously and nodded again.
Ning Xiner wrinkled her lovely eyebrows and said, "Why are you shaking your head and nodding again? Xiaohong, what on earth are you going to say?"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch"
The little red dragon's eyes widened, he was very angry, he gestured vigorously, and made a squeaking sound from his mouth.
Ning Xiner seemed to understand something and said: "Okay, then I won't call you Xiaohong anymore. By the way, Xiaohong, what did you mean by nodding just now? Did you find my brother's bones?"
The little red dragon was so angry that he almost fainted. He really didn't like being called "Little Red", but he was helpless. Ning Xiner seemed determined to call him this name and couldn't change it at all.
Xiao Hong could only nodded dejectedly.
"You... have you really found your brother's body? Where is it? Take me there." Ning Xiner flattened her lips, her round eyes were filled with drops of water, her voice was whimpering, and she was unwilling to accept this fact.
