Picking Hibiscus in Shejiang River

Leaving the alchemy stove. "But it's not necessary." He said slowly, "I'm afraid this is the magic weapon of the Three Puritans, the perfect refining furnace. Master Gao tempted me to take a bath in this way, but he wanted to refine the monk. Here's the idea."

Seeing what Chelian said, Gao Siyuan seemed a little embarrassed, so he didn't say anything more, just focused on searching among the rows of bookshelves.After about a cup of tea, he walked out from the last bookshelf in disgrace, and said: "Gao Mou seems to have misremembered the secret room where this thing was stored, I am really ashamed, please ask the Master to follow me to another room Searching."

Che Lian raised her eyebrows, but said nothing.Gao Siyuan opened the heavy stone door of the secret room, subconsciously making a gesture of invitation. "...Master Gao, please invite first." Che Lian brushed the dust on her sleeves, and said calmly, "The poor monk is not used to leaving his back to others."

Gao Siyuan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded apologetically, and walked out of the secret room first.

He has never shown any signs of the road, and Che Lian expected that he would not dare to challenge her, and was about to follow him out of the secret room, but the stone door in front of him was suddenly closed, and the entire secret room made of bluestone was tightly sealed. This locked him firmly inside.

Che Lian froze for a moment, and instantly understood her current situation. With disdain in her heart, she raised her eyebrows and said to the people outside the stone gate: "Gao Siyuan, don't you want to die?"

There was a violent cough from outside the stone gate, and then an old and bitter voice sounded:

"Damn it? My father is dead, that person is dead, why should I live alone? I want them to be buried with that person, even the lunatics who gathered in the Mirror Villa! As for you monstrous monk, I I want to watch with my own eyes that you are refined into a human pill in this perfect refining furnace, suffering so much, life and death! Hahahahaha!!"

As he spoke, there was a burst of maniacal laughter, followed by the already fading footsteps in the long corridor.

There was the dejected sound of rocks colliding around, Che Lian took a step back, and slammed her palms on the stone walls that were gathering towards him from all directions, but saw that they remained motionless, and turned into a hell of flames full of swords, lights and swords in the next moment.It turns out that the Taoist treasure is not the alchemy furnace in this secret room, but that the whole secret village is transformed from the rumored perfect furnace that can even refine Buddha bones.

Che Lian secretly thought something was wrong, she quickly straightened her body and sat down on the spot, took off the relic from her wrist and held it to her chest, and silently recited the Ice and Fire Curse.

He is fully aware that this perfect refining furnace is not an ordinary sacrificial magic weapon, the time in the furnace passes very slowly, maybe he has suffered for decades in this hell of tongues of fire, and only a few hours have passed in the human world outside the furnace. It is not nonsense to refine him here before Kongfan and others noticed the abnormality; he must find a way to break through the furnace wall before his mana to maintain the ice and fire curse is exhausted.

He never thought that Gao Siyuan would be so ruthless that even if he took everyone to be buried with him, he would definitely be killed. However, he was poisoned by the sleeve arrow of the Zhujian School, and the flow of his inner breath was still a bit slow. At that time, he didn't have the strength to break through forcibly; thinking that the young man might still be waiting for him in the sea at this time, his heart suddenly felt murderous towards Gao Siyuan at a certain moment, and his chest also felt a dull pain.

……

Fortunately, the illusion of the Perfect Furnace is not perfect. One month later, Che Lian found the weakest corner of the furnace, gathered all the remaining mana in her palm, and was about to make a desperate effort to get it through, when suddenly the top of her head The white light suddenly appeared, breaking through the true energy he had so easily condensed, and a young man covered in grass leaves jumped down from an unknown place on the top.

Che Lian said in astonishment: "You..."

Yuemingxi patted the grass clippings on his body, and when he saw Chelian, his eyes lit up, and he hugged him suddenly, before he could speak, he said: "I was worried just now, after thinking about it, I should follow you to this secret village together I thought it would be good to hide outside and wait for you, but Uncle Gao didn’t see you for a long time after he came out, so he decided to come in and have a look.”

After finishing speaking, he looked around and said in confusion, "Big beauty, what is this place? It seems a little hot."

Cherlian: "..."

Taoyuan

Che Lian knew that if Yue Mingxi came in to look for him at a quarter of the night, he would be able to break through the furnace wall and escape smoothly, but at the last moment, the young man inexplicably washed away his true energy; the already empty dantian was still aching, He was helpless in his heart, but he knew that the young man was worried about him, and he couldn't say anything to complain, so he could only sigh quietly.

He calmly said: "The poor monk thanked the young master for his concern, but it's a pity that you and I are not blessed, and I'm afraid we will end up here."

For the past month, he has been struggling with the Ice and Fire Curse in this fire tongue hell, and he has spent all his remaining energy on the palm just now. He is exhausted now, and he doesn't know what to do by himself. The icy ice that had almost dissipated would make it even more difficult to protect the two of them.

Who would have thought that Shi Chelian was unrestrained in his first life, but ended up in this dark alchemy furnace; but he didn't know if the remaining time would be enough for him to recite the mantra for himself and the young man.

Yuemingxi was stunned for a moment, looked at the surrounding scenery carefully, and suddenly realized: "Could it be that this is the magic furnace of the three Puritans?"

Che Lian was about to speak, but saw Yue Mingxi suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, and quickly drew a rune of unknown shape on the Yan Yan under the two of them, chanting words in his mouth with a very focused expression.

He didn't know what the young man wanted to do, but at the next moment, the ravines carved on the rock suddenly glowed with golden light, and the raging flames that were approaching the two of them suddenly disappeared without a trace. Thousands of magma and flint sank in response, and several pieces of the originally pitch-black sky were shattered, from which a quiet and warm gleam like the morning morning oozes out.

When Yuemingxi took back his saber, the fiery tongue hell that had opened its teeth and danced its claws had long since turned into a picturesque paradise, with green grass and soft spring mud under its feet, no longer the blazing heat of the elixir furnace, but an endless stream of immortality. The aura of pure spirit is actually a blessed land that Che Lian has never seen before.

Che Lian suddenly came back to her senses, and saw Yuemingxi gazing at the wonders around her with great interest, pulling the grass and gathering the flowers, then leaping up to a leafy tree next to her, rustling. Picked up the loquats.

Now that the crisis was over, he patiently let Yuemingxi have fun in this strange fairy island for a while, seeing him pick a loquat full of clothes and jumping in front of him to offer treasures, he picked up a piece of loquat. A loquat fruit took a look and asked, "How did the young master know this mysterious magic technique?"

Those who can easily draw the correct runes to manipulate the illusion in the Furnace of Perfection, not to mention young swordsmen who are outsiders of the Taoism, are even the elders with the most advanced cultivation of the San Puritanism.He looked at Yue Mingxi, whose eyes were still clear, and his mood was slightly complicated.

"Huh? This?" Yue Mingxi peeled a loquat fruit and was eating it sweetly. He scratched his head and said, "I read a book of runes from the San Puritanism in the old man's study before, and I thought those paintings were still It’s pretty pretty, I’ve copied a few of them in my spare time, but I don’t know that it will come in handy today.”

He said in a low voice: "Actually, the talisman book is probably stolen by Jianghu scholars. I really don't believe it. I just try it. I don't know what it will turn into. It's a mistake." Hit, you don’t have to be refined in this laoshizi hundred refining furnace.”

Che Lian was speechless, but really admired the young man's luck.

Don't bother talking.Yuemingxi was full of loquats, so he followed Chelian on the road to find a place in the fantasy territory of Xianzhou where he could break through the furnace wall.Although he saved himself and his future young master's wife this time, so that the two of them don't have to suffer from the fire, he also changed the not-so-profound illusion of hell into a more vast and boundless world of another world, and found a new world. It may be even more difficult to break through the weakest spiritual breath in the furnace, but here, after all, time flows slowly, enough for the two of them to pass the time.

The place where they landed was a secluded small island in the northwest of the water town. Through the misty mist, you could see the prosperous people on the other side. It was also a beautiful spring day in the south of the Yangtze River, but the clothes of the people were slightly different from theirs. , It seems to be dressed in the previous dynasty, but all of them are flesh and blood, and there is no haziness and emptiness in the illusion.

Yuemingxi rowed ashore with Chelian, looking around curiously all the way, it became more and more difficult to determine whether he was Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou.

Seeing the beautiful woman resting on the stone bench at the port, he went to the bookstore on the side of the street to have a look, flipped through a book of poetry that was selling well, and found that all the famous poets on it were very strange; He opened another vernacular history book and saw that the history recorded in the book was also very different from the human world in his memory, and finally he was sure that he was still in the illusion of the hundred refining furnace.

He put down the heavy book with seams, only to hear the faint crowing of locomotives and chickens and ducks in the deep alley, and the shouting and hawking in the market place one after another, and he couldn't help but sigh.

One flower one world, one leaf one bodhi.

But they don't know whether they, who are outside the furnace, are also living in an overly real illusion.

Seeing the beautiful woman sitting there contemplating her brows, Fu got up again and wandered around the port market, as if she had no clue where to find it, Yue Mingxi was also happy to spend more time alone with him, and followed him to stroll through the shops. After a while, he completely forgot his current situation, with candied haws in his left hand and spiced eggs in his right, eating happily like a rich young master playing.

Chelian stopped and glanced at Yuemingxi,
