Wu Sheng hurried down the mountain before the sun set, and found a bamboo house built by Yong Zhi somewhere in the jungle and wilderness at the foot of the mountain. When he pushed the door and walked in, he found only a collapsed bed and a quilt. The house was very clean, but extremely simple.
, Wu Sheng couldn't help but feel apologetic.
After going out and walking around, he found a simple fire set up on the left side in front of the door. There were two wooden forks standing beside the fire as a stand. Looking at these two wooden forks, Wu Sheng could imagine that Yong Yong was sitting beside the bonfire at night.
The scene of a person baking cold cakes all alone and swallowing them in the autumn wind and rain is really heart-wrenching.
What a disgrace to a loyal man!
After walking a few steps in the forest, I noticed a series of residual marks on a tree next to me, which were three inches deep. There were also marks on the tree trunk on the right, in front of me, and behind me. They must be scratches from the sword's light.
What a hard-working and good man!
The sky finally darkened, and the cold moon hung in the sky, casting a cool chill. Using the moonlight, Wu Sheng followed the traces of sword light on the trees and walked towards the forest. Suddenly, he heard a voice coming from the front and followed the sound.
, I saw a bonfire burning under a tree in the forest. Yongzhi was sitting next to the bonfire. There was a hare on the bonfire, which was already burnt and dripping with oil.
There is a piece of red silk hanging above Yong Zhi's head, and a woman is hanging on the red silk, floating around his head like a swing, as if she is dancing.
It is late autumn now, and the night is chilly, but this woman seems completely unaware of it. She is dressed in a thin gauze, with her shoulders half exposed, her collarbones sunken, and her face very beautiful...
"Mr. Lang's heart is like cold iron. Why is he so ruthless?"
Yongzhi did not answer, but tore off a rabbit leg and put it into his mouth to chew.
"My good husband, we have known each other for three months, so please agree to this little girl..."
A ray of sword light suddenly spit out and slashed towards the woman. The woman swung her red silk and fluttered away, leaving the sword light to draw sword marks on the tree.
"It's so ruthless to start with... Alas... The husband is ruthless, but the concubine is sentimental. On the other side of the river, there are cattails and lotuses, and there is a beautiful person. How can I be hurt? I am sleepy and do nothing, and my tears are pouring..."
Another sword light shot up, cutting off a leaf above, but it still didn't touch the girl at all.
In such an autumn night forest, such a red damask beauty, such a hare on a bonfire, such a cold sword light, such a strange and fragrant scene, Wu Sheng couldn't bear it.
"Hey, you monster, don't bully my guests. If anything happens, come to me!"
The thin-shirted woman swinging on the swing glanced at Wu Sheng, and Hong Ling swung away into the forest. When Wu Sheng rushed over, she was already out of pursuit and disappeared without a trace.
After going around in a circle without chasing anyone, Wu Sheng returned to the bonfire and took the other rabbit leg from Yong Zhi: "Zhi Dalang, what's the matter? Others are reading at night with red sleeves and adding fragrance, how can you still be so red?
Lingzhu Qianye’s roasted rabbit is here? Fortunately, I was worried about your loneliness and the cold on the sandbank. I didn’t expect that someone knows about the cold and warmth. How did you advise me in the first place? Don’t indulge in women’s sex, ha?”
Yongzhi rolled his eyes: "Doctor, this woman is very evil, she appears and disappears, and her movements are extremely strange. Doctor, please be careful."
Wu Sheng smiled and said: "Anyway, if you stay away from Mangdang Mountain, you can relieve your loneliness. Don't worry, Zhi Dalang, I do it occasionally, but! I won't complain to Xiang Qiniang and Xiaohuan."
Yongzhi argued: "This woman is interested in rabbit meat. She wants to snatch the rabbit meat from me and eat it."
Wu Sheng laughed for a moment, stopped joking, and asked: "What's the origin?"
Yong Zhi said distressedly: "In the past two months, I have fought with her all the time, and I don't know where it came from. The sword light came to me, but it always failed at the last moment. I don't know what kind of movement it was. Ask her who she is, and she
Don’t say anything either.”
It was the first time that Wu Sheng saw Yong Zhi talking so much. It seemed that he was really anxious and said: "If you don't understand, just hide. Wouldn't it be better to move far away?"
Yongzhi said: "I am afraid that the doctor will not be found."
Well, Wu Sheng was still a little moved. He changed his residence with Yongzhi overnight and rushed to the barbarian village in the other direction at the foot of the mountain. It was ten miles away. He didn't build a residence anymore. He knocked on the door and spent five hundred ant noses.
With the money, I rented a house and agreed to stay there for three months.
It's not that I'm afraid of trouble. It's better to stay away from this inexplicable "monster" so as not to miss your important event.
After settling in, it was already dawn. Wu Sheng asked Yong Zhi to buy honey: "There is a bean cake shop in the south city of Yingdu. I want a jar of high-quality honey. I will wait here."
Yong Zhi went as ordered and handed a jar of honey to Wu Sheng: "That bean cake shop does not sell honey, but there is a honey shop opposite. The doctor was wrong."
Wu Sheng nodded, took the honey pot and returned to the mountain. He handed the honey pot to Dong Lizi, watched the old man mix the honey, followed behind him and said: "Senior, if you want to send a message, you can tell me clearly.
"
Dong Lizi said: "You really misunderstood. What message should I send? Who should I send it to? My senior brother doesn't want me to go down the mountain. Do I need it? I just remembered the wrong store."
Wu Sheng said: "Since you can go down the mountain, why don't you buy it yourself? After all, if you want me to do things, you can't treat me as a fool, understand?"
Donglizi tasted the honey and said: "Good honey...I can't go because my senior brother doesn't allow me to eat honey. If he knew that I was going to buy honey, he wouldn't be scolded, and maybe that honey shop would be closed down."
Wu Sheng asked curiously: "You are not allowed to eat honey? What's the reason? Come on, I'll check your pulse to see if you have diabetes. You really can't eat it randomly."
Donglizi said: "What is diabetes? Don't talk nonsense. My senior brother is afraid that I will make elixirs. Honey is an essential ingredient in many elixir recipes. By the way, let me tell you a little secret. Do you know the longevity elixir? Honey is one of them.
Material!"
Wu Sheng asked: "Are you afraid of making elixirs? Can you tell me?"
Donglizi said: "I told you a long time ago, but you don't believe me. My senior brother wanted to learn elixirs from me, but I refused to teach him. Therefore, I banned my Qi Hai and made it impossible for me to make elixirs.
I would rather die than give him the prescription, hehe, you are so stubborn!"
After eating too much honey, Donglizi finally stopped eating it after eating half a jar: "Honey is also one of the formulas of Tianxiang Dan. Let's go to the alchemy room."
Dong Lizi demonstrated the method of refining Tianxiang Dan with plaster in the alchemy room. While demonstrating, he said: "To learn elixir from me, you must put aside the appearance of the spiritual material and focus directly on the five elements of spiritual power of the spiritual material itself.
Only in this way can you make full use of the spiritual materials in the world. When you can't find a certain spiritual material, you can replace it with other materials without being tied down by dead objects. Okay, you can open a furnace and try it."
Wu Sheng already understood this truth. He had always used this method to make elixirs, so the cost was extremely low. He immediately made a list of spiritual materials based on the plaster of Donglizi.
There were several spiritual materials among them, which he had in his storage ring, but the spiritual materials were rare and he would certainly not be able to part with them. However, Donglizi was unwilling to retrieve them for himself, so he had to ask Huang Lian to handle them on his behalf.
The Danron Sect had everything in its warehouse, so it didn't take much effort to get the ingredients together.
Tianxiang Dan is a middle-grade elixir, and Wu Sheng was done with it after he reached the third furnace.
Two golden elixirs lay in the elixir furnace, exuding an alluring fragrance.
Wu Sheng showed it to Dong Lizi: "How?"
Dong Lizi shook his head: "You have no spirituality. You could have obtained the first-class, middle-grade elixir, but you only refined it to the second-grade, mid-grade. Although it cannot be said to be a failure, I really can't say that you have succeeded in making this elixir."
