The small courtyard of the ancestral hall had been decorated at some point.
Tai Chi talismans and seals are painted on the walls of both courtyards. There is a dark gray shed in the middle of the courtyard, and under the shed is a dark alchemy furnace.
Underneath the alchemy furnace is carved a complex pattern, like a formation, which is obscure and difficult to understand.
At this time, the elixir fire cabin was filled with suffocating firelight, and the village chief on the side was holding a fly whisk, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
"Here we come." A kind smile hung on the village chief's wrinkled face.
It's just that his chest was dyed red, and blood seemed to be constantly seeping out of it.
"Master, you..." Jiang Wuji's eyes stopped on the village chief's chest, which was stained red.
The village chief smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
At this time, Gong Shan, who was adding firewood to the alchemy stove, couldn't help but said: "In order to help you exorcise evil spirits, the village chief went to collect medicinal herbs outside the village. As a result, he was besieged by evil spirits and almost couldn't come back."
"Master..." Jiang Wuji was stunned and moved in his heart.
The village chief still had a gentle smile on his face. He looked at Gong Shan and said, "Gong Shan's words are extreme. This time he went out to collect medicine, and it was not just for Wu Ji."
"The evil spirit is eating people today, so naturally I have to kill that evil spirit."
"In addition, it takes more than a day or two to offer sacrifices to the God of Plague. The villagers have been suffering from illness. Therefore, I decided to start making elixirs to cure the disease first and then to offer sacrifices to the God."
Gong Shan: "But the village chief, your body and bones..."
The village chief waved his whisk: "It's just a skin injury, but you won't die."
"Gong Shan, you go and guard outside the courtyard. Don't let anyone else in before dawn."
"Yes." Gong Shan bowed and retreated outside the courtyard.
As the courtyard door closed, the village chief waved to Jiang Wuji. "Come, sit cross-legged and breathe. With your talent, you will be able to condense the Qi Hai very soon."
The village chief sat cross-legged on his futon and motioned to Jiang Wuji.
Jiang Wuji walked over and began to sit cross-legged and breathe.
The ancestral hall returned to deathly silence.
The flickering fire reflected on their faces.
The flame brought a little warmth, making the cold night no longer so cold.
…
Later in the night.
The village chief's hoarse voice suddenly sounded.
"Disciple..."
When he opened his eyes, what came into view was the wrinkled face of the village chief.
Before Jiang Wuji could speak, the village chief smiled and said, "Disciple, do you smell the elixir?"
"Elixir smell?"
Jiang Wuji smelled it hard and didn't smell any peculiar smell.
Then he looked at the alchemy furnace in the yard and asked, "Master, is the elixir ready?"
"No, it's on you." the village chief said.
Jiang Wuji: "On me?"
Village Chief: "You haven't taken the blood-coagulating pill that my master gave you?"
It turns out to be a blood coagulation pill...
It’s true that I haven’t eaten the Blood Coagulation Pill yet, because the debris attached to it looks like human fingernails. Although I’m not sure, it’s really hard to swallow.
Jiang Wuji: "Disciple has indeed not taken it yet."
"Why don't you eat?" asked the village chief.
Jiang Wuji: "Elixirs are precious, disciple..."
"Eat it, the Blood Coagulation Pill can regulate your physique, and it also has many benefits for breathing and breathing. It may also be able to temporarily suppress the evil spirits in your body," the village chief said.
Nodding, Jiang Wuji took out the blood-coagulating pill and immediately wanted to swallow it.
However, just when the elixir was still an inch away from my mouth, the palpitating feeling appeared again!
My body can't move!
is her!
The female corpse with little feet is preventing me from taking the blood-clotting pill!
Jiang Wuji's eyes widened and he wanted to ask the village chief for help, but he couldn't make a sound.
Fortunately, the village chief was not an ordinary person, so he could see the clues at a glance.
He pushed it out with one palm, pushing the blood-coagulating pill directly into Jiang Wuji's mouth.
Immediately afterwards, he made a seal with his hands and murmured something: "Old gentleman, kill ghosts, and I will do it with you! Call the jade girl up to the unknown person! Kill the evil ghosts first, and then kill the night light!"
My vision was blurred, and the village chief's voice lingered in my ears.
When the elixir enters the mouth, a bitter smell begins to spread in the mouth.
"Don't panic, disciple! Keep your mind!"
"There are three strange things in the sky, the sun, moon and stars, and the ghosts and spirits in the sky are all over the sky! If there are evil spirits coming, the evil spirits on the ground will not stop!"
"Hurry as the law dictates!"
"..."
The dizziness is getting stronger and stronger.
The village chief's voice became increasingly blurry.
Finally, everything went dark, and all perception disappeared as if cut with a knife.
…
It's 3 o'clock in the morning, a quiet night.
Jiang Wuji opened his eyes and saw a white ceiling.
My aunt was lying on the escort chair next to her, with a thin blanket outline her figure vividly.
He let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
At this moment, suddenly a red and blue thunder and lightning tore through the sky, and the night was as bright as day, but in a blink of an eye, darkness returned.
Immediately afterwards, there was a deafening sound of earth shattering!
It's thundering.
Jiang Wuji looked out the window and found that the thunder at night was extremely fierce.
The thunder that flashed across the sky like a spider web seemed to split the sky into pieces.
"Are you awake?" my aunt's voice sounded.
Jiang Wuji came back to his senses and looked at his aunt, finding that the latter was quite haggard.
"Auntie, you have worked hard these days."
My aunt wrinkled her nose: "..."
Jiang Wuji: "What's wrong?"
Auntie: "Did you secretly eat shit? Your mouth smells so bad... yue!"
Jiang Wuji subconsciously wanted to fight back, but was suddenly stunned.
