Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 207
The fragrance of tea curls up, filling the guest room.

There were four people sitting on the small tea table.Zhang Wei, Xiaoqian, Min Jianrou, and that handsome man.

Min Jianrou introduced to Zhang Wei: "Zhang Daoyou, this is my senior brother Gui Yi. Gui who has returned, Yi who is Yiren."

Zhang Wei nodded, Gui Yi also bowed to Zhang Wei, and said: "Junior Sister Jianrou said that you are a very powerful alchemist. I didn't believe it at first, but after meeting, I felt even more unbelievable. Fellow Daoist is too young." Some."

Hearing these straightforward words, Zhang Wei was taken aback for a moment.Then Min Jianrou immediately crazily smoothed things over and said, "Don't mind, fellow Daoist Zhang! This senior brother grew up in the mountains since he was a child. He has never seen the world, and he can't speak."

Here Min Jianrou is smoothing things over, while Gui Yi next to him is sitting there with a decent face, without explaining.

Look carefully at this person, he is the bottom line of the social world!The kind who are impatient when they meet, and get beaten when they open their mouths.

Min Jianrou looked at his senior brother with resentful eyes, if you can't speak, don't speak!

Zhang Wei laughed and said: "The level of alchemy has nothing to do with age. If you are older, you will be better, then there is no such thing as young people in this world."

The man thought for a while, then nodded and said: "That's right, the master is quite old, but he is not as good as me. It seems that I am worrying too much."

Zhang Wei was taken aback for a second, then burst out laughing.Min Jianrou turned her head away from him with a speechless expression.

After all, we were all young people, and after a few words, the atmosphere became harmonious.

After drinking two cups of tea, Gui Yi spoke directly.

"I came here today to ask you to help me refine a furnace of elixir. I wonder if you can refine it."

Zhang Wei also said directly: "Show me the alchemy formula, if I don't look at it, how will I know if I can refine it?"

This is a prescription called 'Xianjian Pill', which is a prescription for swords.After Zhang Wei read it, he said, "I can make this elixir, as long as you bring good ingredients."

Upon hearing this, Gui Yi immediately took out a material from his sword pouch and said, "I have already prepared this material."

It turned out that I came prepared, Zhang Wei nodded and continued: "After refining the elixir, I need 100 taels of gold as a reward."

When the man heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes." After speaking, he poured out another 100 taels of alluvial gold from the sword pouch.

The sword pouch of the sword cultivator is also a magic weapon for storage.But not much is stored.

Zhang Wei took the alluvial gold and said, "Come and get the elixir tomorrow."

After speaking, raise a glass to see off the guests.

The next day, Min Jianrou and Guiyi came to the county government on time.

Zhang Wei handed out three pills and said, "This is the Sword Cleansing Pill you want."

Gui Yi held the elixir, and immediately drew the long sword behind his back.

Of course he didn't come to rob, but started rubbing the elixir on the sword.Following the rubbing of the elixir, the elixir was absorbed by the long sword, and after a while, a single elixir disappeared.

And this long sword also emitted a faint brilliance, and then disappeared.

"Okay! Sure enough, it's the Sword Washing Pill. After using this pill, the Chang Geng Sword has become more friendly to me!" Gui Yi was overjoyed, fondling his long sword fondly.

Then the way he looked at Zhang Wei changed.

"Fellow Daoist is indeed a great talent, yesterday I was blind." He saluted immediately.

Zhang Wei waved his hand and said, "It's nothing."

Then Gui Yi continued: "I still need a lot of this elixir, can I ask fellow Taoists to refine it?"

Zhang Wei looked at him in surprise and said, "Of course it's okay, fellow Taoist, why do you have such doubts?" After refining it the first time, wouldn't you be unwilling the second time?How could this person have such an idea.

"But I have no money!" He said directly.

"Would you like to see off my friends!" Zhang Wei also brought tea to see off the guests.

No money, no money, what do you say?I, Zhang Wei, am also the magistrate of Tianmen County, managing millions of people and a huge land.Do you still want to prostitute?

Gui Yi smiled sarcastically and said, "How about this, how about I pay you with work? I'm good at fighting."

Zhang Wei just wanted to refuse, but stopped when the words came to his lips.If it was in the past, Zhang Wei probably would not have accepted work instead of pay, but the situation is different now.He is the magistrate of Tianmen County who manages a million people and a huge land!

"Working under my hands is hard work, can you handle it?" Zhang Wei asked tentatively.

"Yes, I can hold it!" Gui Yi said immediately.

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "Well, I need some materials for setting up formations now, you can go to Yinshan City and buy them for me."

After speaking, Zhang Wei wrote a list, then gave him some pills and said, "Sell these pills for me, and then buy the materials."

Gui Yi saw it, and immediately nodded in agreement.Min Jianrou next to him saw it, and felt a little itchy in her heart. She immediately said: "I can do these things too. I don't know if Zhang Daoyou can hire me too."

Zhang Wei wondered: "Do you want to make alchemy too?"

Unexpectedly, Min Jianrou said coyly, "I need gold."

Zhang Wei said angrily: "I still need gold." After leaving the Central Plains, his gold was cut off.It all affected his practice.

Min Jianrou left dejectedly, while Gui Yi set off to Yinshan excitedly.

Asking Gui Yi to help him sell medicines is after consideration. Zhang Wei's medicine pills are very valuable, if he is too weak to go to Yinshan Mountain City, he may be robbed.At present, apart from Soybean, Zhang Wei seems to be inappropriate.

But it was too hard for Huangdou to travel three thousand miles to Yinshan.That's hard work for others.

............................................................

Tianmen County has a large land area and few people. The land is fertile but few people cultivate it.As a result, animal husbandry, which requires less manpower, has been developed here.

Grazing does not require planting, and the pasture that grows naturally on fertile land is high and fertile, and a few people can graze hundreds of cattle, sheep and horses, which saves manpower compared to farming.

Wang Zhihe's family makes a living by grazing. In addition to planting a little land to meet the family's food, the dozen or so members of their family mainly graze the hundreds of cows and thousands of sheep.

"Father, those ghosts are afraid to come this year, can we drive the cattle and sheep farther?"

Wang Zhihe's son Wang Tianshui asked.

Wang Zhihe nodded and said, "It is possible to go farther. This master is still powerful. He killed the ghosts as soon as he took office. Let's see if those ghosts dare to come here to grab things."

In the past years, when these ghosts entered the country, his Wang family was often robbed, their cattle and sheep were robbed, their food was robbed, and if they hadn't entered the city to take refuge, everyone would have been robbed.

But this year is different. More than 5000 ghosts have been arrested, making those ghosts afraid to enter the country.

The ghosts dare not enter the country, so herdsmen like them will naturally drive their cattle and sheep to graze there, and the pastures near their homes can be kept for grazing.

The family happily drove the cattle and sheep to the west, which is usually a place they dare not set foot in, but this time, they dare!
The cattle and sheep grazed happily on the new pasture, and the Wang family also began to set up camp.Herdsmen are like this, chasing water and grass, following cattle and sheep.

In the evening, under the cow dung fire, everyone drank milk tea, ate pancakes, and gnawed on jerky, and another day passed.

Wang Zhihe's youngest daughter is already 16 years old, and the family members are helping her to marry each other recently, and they are still discussing how much to marry as a dowry.

"In my opinion, it's best to sell some cattle and sheep, buy some ghost slaves, and farm." Wang Zhihe's wife said.

The Wang family are people who migrated from the Central Plains, and they have the blood of farming in their bones. If there is no other way, who would want to run around to herd cattle.

Wang Zhihe thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's right, how about it, when my daughter gets married, I will send ten ghost slaves as a dowry, and let the young couple farm the fields, so it will save you a lot of hard work."

Everyone laughed when he said this.Slaves used to be expensive, but now that [-] slaves have come in, the price of many slaves has been suppressed at once, and people like them who are "thrifty and housekeeping" are also planning to buy slaves.

While the family was chatting happily, in the darkness in the distance, a red-haired, blue-eyed ghost jumped up from the grass and ran away quickly.

Not long after he ran, he came to a small camp.There are several ghosts in the camp, and one of them is a ghost warlock with various ornaments on his head.

After the ghost came back, he said: "My lord, I am not a courier, but an ordinary family member."

The sorcerer breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "We sneak in, so we can't be found. Just in case, I will cast a spell to take away their souls."

When the other ghosts heard this, they shrank their necks in fear, but they didn't say anything.

Then the sorcerer took out a skull, poured some strange oil into the skull, and started chanting.

Not long after, the oil ignited and turned into a green will-o'-the-wisp.

Then the warlock threw something into it, and the will-o'-the-wisp turned into a three-foot tall imp.

The sorcerer said a few spells to the little ghost, and the little ghost floated out and disappeared in front of everyone in an instant.

At this time, the Wang family had already fallen asleep, only a few sheepdogs were half asleep and half awake.

At this moment, an old dog suddenly opened his eyes, and his cloudy eyes suddenly saw a ghost floating over, and then entered the Wang family's camp.

At this time, the old dog was startled, and then roared wildly.

The cry of "Wow, woof, woof" resounded through the night sky.Then he rushed into the tent, trying to wake up his master.

But it's too late now.

This ghost used the soul-sucking technique, and hooked out all the souls of the Wang family's dozen or so members. These souls who are still half asleep and half awake have no idea what happened now.

The old dog circled anxiously on the spot, his barking could not wake up the ghost, so he rushed forward, but it was only in vain.

The little ghost didn't care about the dog at all, but drifted away with these dozen or so dazed souls.

The old dog followed anxiously all the way, but how could he keep up with the speed of the ghost.In just an instant, this group of ghosts disappeared.

The old dog whined in a low voice, and tears flowed from his eyes.He fell down dejectedly.

But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something.Then he turned around and ran towards the county seat of Tianmen County.

It ran like this for a day and a night.The old dog's feet were worn out from running, and his body was panting like a bellows.But he still saw the city gate of Tianmen County.

At this time the city gate had not been opened yet, so he got into the dog hole specially reserved for the city gate.Then continue to run towards the county government.

When he came outside the county government office, his whole body began to tremble, which was caused by excessive running and convulsions all over his body.

But he couldn't take care of this anymore, and started yelling "Wow, woof, woof" at the county government.His cry was bleak and full of sorrow.

The guard guarding the gate was awakened by the barking of the dog, and immediately cursed.

"Which pestilent dog is it? It's called a soul here!" After saying that, he picked up a stick beside the bed and walked out.

When he opened the small door and was about to chase away the ignorant dog, he found the county magistrate's yellow dog next to another dog.

Huang Dou listened to the dog's words quietly, then bowed his head and arched his body, motioning him to rest assured.

The old dog looked at Soybean with pleading eyes, and then his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally he swallowed his last breath.

At this time, the weasel came out, standing beside Huangdou, and called out in a low voice, "Brother?"

Huang Dou pouted at the old dog's body, and the weasel immediately understood and said, "Don't worry, I will bury him properly."

Huang Dou paid a silent tribute to the old dog, then turned and entered the backyard of the county office.

He came to Zhang Wei's side. Zhang Wei, who was making alchemy, looked at him, touched his dog's head, and asked, "What's wrong?"

He leaned next to Zhang Wei and gently rubbed against him.

Soybean recently took the 'Hissing Cracking Lung Pill', and now it's time for the pill to transform his body, and he hasn't spoken for more than a month.

But the effect of the psychic pill appeared at this time, Zhang Wei touched Gouzi's head, and then his face gradually changed.

He called Xiaojin, took the soybeans, rode on Xiaojin, and flew out of the county government office.

Not long after, he fell outside the camp of the Wang family.When he walked into the tent, the members of the Wang family seemed to be still asleep.

But Zhang Wei knew that these people had already lost their souls and were already dead.

Soybean sniffed the air in detail.He is smelling 'Yin Qi'.Then he winked at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei quickly rode on Xiaojin, led by Huangdou, and flew eastward all the way.

At this time, in the east, in a farm, a fight took place here.

More than a dozen people from Guifang Country were fighting with more than a dozen people from Tianmen County.

Ten of the dozen or so Guifang people were slaves with farm tools in their hands.The people from Tianmen County were holding bows and crossbows and wearing leather armor.

Logically speaking, the number of people in Tianmen County is not bad, and the equipment is good, so it is impossible to beat them.But the truth is, one of these ghost Fang people is a warlock.

This warlock did some evil tricks, and a gust of wind blew away all the bows and arrows, and whenever the people of Tianmen County wanted to organize an offensive, the strange wind would raise dust and distract everyone's sight.

This time and again, the people from Tianmen County, who were better equipped, were actually at a disadvantage.

"Brother! Let's go, I can't beat you! They will kill you!" A slightly younger man shouted at another man.

The person called Big Brother was also very anxious. These slaves were beating desperately, and they had wives and children behind them, so they had concerns.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you take your sister-in-law and your sister-in-law, you guys leave first, I'll finish later!"
