The black ape enlarged his body, took out a large furnace from the void space, and threw it into the yard, splashing dust all over the ground.
The furnace is one foot high, has three legs at the bottom, a big belly and a small mouth. The lid and body of the furnace are covered with totems of auspicious beasts.
Zhang Xiaozu knew this alchemy furnace. It was the cauldron that Black Ape used to refine his body in the black forest.
But at that time, the furnace was covered with rust and the auspicious animal totems had lost their luster. Zhang Xiaozu thought it was an abandoned alchemy furnace.
But now, its whole body is yellow and shining with colorful light, and the auspicious animal totems are all lifelike and alive.
You can tell it's a treasure just by looking at it.
"This thief monkey must have made a lot of treasures in the black forest." Zhang Xiaozu cursed as he stared at the shining belly of the alchemy furnace.
Wow——
Black Ape opened the lid of the furnace and poured some green liquid from the void space into the furnace. He muttered dissatisfiedly: "There are still so many spiritual liquids, so I am at a huge loss."
"What kind of spiritual liquid is that? Why do I smell a strong aroma of wine?" Zhou Jianlai sniffed his nose and said with his eyes shining.
Butcher Zhang stroked his beard and thought for a while, then mused: "If I read it correctly, this spiritual liquid should be taken from the spiritual spring soaked in Jianmei wine in the sword tomb of Wanjiange Pavilion."
"No wonder." Zhou Jianlai suddenly understood.
"I just don't know why the people from Wanjiang Pavilion agreed?" Butcher Zhang asked curiously.
The spiritual liquid in the spiritual spring is Wanjiange's treasure, and giving someone a small bottle of it would make him feel distressed for a long time, so he couldn't figure out how there were so many black apes.
"This guy stole it. There has been a lot of thieves in the city recently, and many people have lost their treasures. It was all his fault." Zhang Xiaozu said in a low voice.
Black Ape glanced sideways at Zhang Xiaopeng and said unhappily: "Boy, if you dare to speak ill of me again, do you believe that I will give up my job?"
"Haha——" Butcher Zhang laughed dumbly and said: "Fellow Taoist is really a sweetheart. Next time something good like this happens, can I invite you to join us?"
"It's easy to talk about." Hei Yuan said with cupped hands.
It took out a piece of dark wood from the void space and threw it at the bottom of the furnace. After lighting it, it looked at Zhang Xiaozu and the four of them and asked: "Which one of you will come first? Let's talk about it first. The process may be a little painful. Just grit your teeth and bear it.
alright."
Zhang Xiaopou quietly took half a step back, because he would never forget what Hei Yuan said to "a little pain".
"I'll do it first." Zhou Jianlai handed the Wanjian Box to Zhang Xiaozu, and then walked forward.
After he took off his clothes in accordance with Hei Yuan's instructions, Hei Yuan carried him by the shoulders and threw him into the alchemy furnace.
Gudong!
ah--
The sound of falling water and Zhou Jianlai's screams sounded in the alchemy furnace at the same time.
Because the pitch-black wood at the bottom of the furnace burns at a very high temperature, even though it only burned for a short while, the temperature in the furnace was already so high that it almost caused Zhou Jianlai to faint.
Hearing the screams, Zhang Xiaozu and the others couldn't help but tremble. They were terrified when they thought that they would be stripped naked and thrown in like this later.
"Warning, don't be like that kid and take all the elixirs, otherwise your spiritual power will be unbalanced and violent, causing you to explode and die. Don't blame me, the king." Black Ape was lying on the stove mouth and warned.
Zhang Xiaozu touched his nose awkwardly.
Then Black Ape began to add elixirs to the alchemy furnace one by one.
Zhang Xiaozhu vaguely remembered that when Black Ape refined his body, he boiled the elixir first and then put him into the alchemy furnace to temper his body. Why is it the other way around now?
He was afraid that Black Ape had made a mistake, so he asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, I remember that when you tempered my body, you boiled the elixir first before entering. Why is the order reversed now?"
"At that time, I was not thinking very well. I memorized the order in reverse order and added some random things. It's a miracle that you didn't die." Black Ape shook his head and sighed.
"——" Zhang Xiaozhu's face turned pale.
He was glad that he had the wisdom to eat the elixir in the stove at that time, otherwise he would have been turned into broth by the black ape.
"ah--"
Zhou Jianlai's deep roar gradually came from the alchemy furnace, and it could be heard that he was enduring the pain with all his strength.
But it only lasted for a short while, and the low roar turned into an angry roar, and then a heart-rending howl.
Zhang Xiaozu and the others turned green when they heard this.
"I seem to smell the aroma of meat." Niu Dawa swallowed and said in horror.
"Be more confident and remove the word 'seems'. There is indeed a smell of meat coming out of the stove." Zhang Xiaozhu said with a sad face.
"No - it's okay. Brother Zhou is still screaming, so he probably isn't quite ready yet." Yuan Taiping comforted him.
"——" Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa were even more frightened.
It took a full hour before Black Ape finished adding the elixir and then closed the furnace lid.
Zhou Jianlai didn't know whether he fainted from the pain or was no longer in pain. He had stopped screaming.
Another half hour passed.
state!
Black Ape suddenly slapped the Alchemy Furnace.
I saw the auspicious animal totem on the alchemy furnace suddenly bloomed with splendor and came to life on the furnace wall.
They turned into colorful streams of light, flying and galloping on the furnace wall.
Zhang Xiaozu and the others looked at it from a distance, feeling as if there was a world inside the furnace, and the auspicious beasts were rejoicing in the world inside the furnace.
"Just wait." Black Ape said, and then sat down cross-legged next to the alchemy furnace.
The wait actually lasted more than two hours.
The gleaming auspicious beasts on the furnace wall have all disappeared, replaced by simple patterns, I don’t know whether they are words or inscriptions, all over the furnace wall, densely arranged together, like a poem from ancient times.
Scripture.
Suddenly, the alchemy furnace burst out with an extremely dazzling light, and even Butcher Zhang was so bright that he closed his eyes.
The light lasted for a short time and dissipated as the dense patterns on the furnace wall submerged into the alchemy furnace.
After waiting for another half an hour, the auspicious beast totem reappeared on the alchemy furnace. Black Ape suddenly stood up and said: "It's done."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and opened the stove lid, reached in and lifted Zhou Jianlai out.
"——" When Zhang Xiaozu and the other three, including Butcher Zhang, saw Zhou Jianlai's appearance, the muscles on their faces couldn't help but twitch.
Zhou Jianlai's body was red and translucent, and his color was like a crispy roasted suckling pig.
Fortunately, he didn't know whether he was asleep or in trance, and didn't know how embarrassed he was, otherwise he would have been embarrassed to death.
Niu Dawa took Zhou Jianlai from Heiyuan and sent him into the room.
"Find something to catch the medicine residue." Hei Yuan looked at Zhang Xiaozu and said.
Zhang Xiaozu took out a bucket of water from the Xumi mustard seeds, poured out the water, and stepped forward to pick up the medicinal dregs that Black Ape had cleaned out from the alchemy furnace.
"Although it is medicine dregs, it still contains some medicinal power and spiritual energy. You can use it to take a bath." Hei Yuan said.
After cleaning the alchemy furnace, Black Ape poured the spiritual fluid into it again, lit the fire, looked at Zhang Xiaozu and the others and asked: "Who is coming?"
The three of them were so scared that they shrank their necks.
"I'm here!"
In the end, Niu Dawa took on the responsibility of being second in charge of the family and jumped into the alchemy furnace as if he were willing to die.
The process is the same, except that Niu Dawa screams more pitifully than Zhou Jianlai.
Pedestrians passing by Guowei Mansion were frightened by his screams and ran away, thinking that Guowei Mansion was haunted in broad daylight.
When Niu Dawa was lifted out of the alchemy furnace, it was already dark.
Then Zhang Xiaozhu and Yuan Taiping were tortured by boiling water next to each other, and it was dawn again.
The little monk and Tang Wan didn't go out today because Zhang Xiaozhu and Yuan Taiping kept crying and howling last night, which scared them so much that they didn't dare to sleep all night, so they had to catch up on their sleep during the day.
Eighteen people including Su Zheng and others who had moved in also didn't sleep well. They really wanted to go out and see what was causing the trouble, but the psychological shadow left by the ghost encounter in Guowei Mansion made them huddle under the covers and dare not move.
.
The Guowei Mansion, which had not been haunted for a long time, was haunted again last night, and became a hot topic of discussion among the surrounding people. They all vividly described the ghostly noises they heard last night.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xiaozu woke up last.
The four of them were dressed neatly and headed to Wanjiang Pavilion with four red faces.
Wanjiange has not yet been sanctioned by Su Hanlin, and the door is still open.
The four people entered the door and were teleported to the small world where the sword tomb was located. Zhou Jianlai jumped off the cliff with the three of them.
The Sword Tomb was supposed to remain open until six o'clock, but mist suddenly rose up, and the people who were still in the Sword Tomb were actually thrown out by waves of force.
This strange change frightened the people in Jiange, and they hurriedly reported it to the deacon.
