An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

"Is this the Shi family?" Xu Fu looked at the busy scene in front of him and asked again.

"Isn't that written?" The coachman pointed to a huge stone standing on the side that was about one foot high, with the three characters "Shijiazhen" clearly engraved on it.

Xu Fu originally wanted to question it again, but suddenly thought of the relationship between Changle Town and the Ji family, and suddenly understood.

Since there was nowhere else to go, Xu Fu and Dihua got out of the car and entered Shijia Town.

This Shijia Town looks similar to Changle Town. The streets are crowded with people and there are many shops as far as the eye can see. It is much more prosperous than Changle Town. It feels like if a few more walls were added, this place would be like a city.

Xu Fu was watching the vendors on the roadside in a daze when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves and saw three carriages passing by on a street not far away. The carriages were all filled with big bags.

Xu Fu was not far away and smelled it carefully. Sure enough, there was a faint medicinal fragrance.

Xu Fu's eyes lit up and he immediately called for Dihua to follow him.

The carriage was walking in the market, and naturally it was not going fast, just like ordinary people walking. The driver was not in a hurry, he just walked so slowly, even Ogihana could easily keep up.

After following the carriage for a short time, the two arrived at a high wall where there were very few pedestrians.

The two of them carefully followed the carriage along the high wall for a while, and stopped at a gate. As soon as the carriage stopped, the leading coachman went to knock on the door.

Seeing this, Xu Fu hurriedly untied the baggage and handed it to Dihua, asking her to hide in the Chunfeng Inn where the two of them passed just now. He himself slipped and slipped under the carriage, digging his fingers into the wood cracks. , with a little force, the whole person stuck to the bottom of the car.

Three carriages entered the gate one after another, and the gate was closed.

Xu Fu stuck to the bottom of the car and looked around carefully. It looked like an ordinary house.

The carriage stopped in an open space, and someone immediately came over to carry the medicinal materials on the carriage. After a while, the carriage started to turn around and go back.

Seeing the carriage passing by a bush of flowers, Xu Fu suddenly let go, slapped his right hand on the ground, rolled over, and immediately fell into it.

Xu Fu used his skills to quickly search in the courtyard, and soon found an open space where many clothes were hanging to dry. These clothes all looked the same. Xu Fu found a piece of similar size and put it on, then returned to the place where the carriage unloaded the medicine.

"You, I'm calling you! Come here!"

Xu Fu was still wondering if others would be suspicious if he walked over so rashly, when he heard a greeting.

When Xu Fu saw someone wearing the same clothes as himself, he was slightly startled and hurried forward.

"There's more medicine to be brought in. Come and wait for the medicine to be moved." After the man instructed Xu Fu, he went to call other people. By the time the carriage came, seven or eight servants had gathered.

As soon as the car arrived, someone started to help unload the medicine. Others lined up, each carrying a bag. They looked very orderly and were obviously very skilled.

After Xu Fu took a bag and carried it on his shoulders like everyone else, a faint smell immediately penetrated his nose.

"Rat shit?"

When Xu Fu was learning to make alchemy, he put a lot of effort into identifying medicines. On this day, rat droppings were bat droppings, which had a very special smell. I only use a little bit of the first-grade elixir "Qingmu Dan".

"What do you need so much rat shit for?"

Xu Fu was puzzled, but he still followed the man in front of him honestly, walked through a corridor with his bag and entered a stone house.

As soon as he entered the stone house, Xu Fu smelled a strong and pungent aroma of medicine. When he looked up, he saw that the huge stone house was filled with various medicinal materials.

Although they are not expensive elixirs, the amount looks a bit scary, and some pockets are even stacked to the roof.

The entire stone house was a busy scene. There were people working in front of each pile of medicine. Those who brought medicine were stopped as soon as they entered the door. Everyone leaned on the pockets containing medicine and smelled it a few times. Then point to a place for delivery.

Soon it was Xu Fu's turn. The man lay on the bag and sniffed, frowned, and suddenly shouted outside the house, which shocked Xu Fu and thought he was exposed.

"Hey! Manager Shi Xiu, here is another bag!" After the man finished shouting, he pointed the direction to Xu Fu, and Xu Fu hurriedly sent it over.

"This smell is unbearable! Come with me." I saw a very well-dressed man covering his nose with a handkerchief and saying in a "coquettish voice".

Xu Fu was still four or five feet away from the man when he smelled the strong fragrance of powder, which actually covered up the smell of rat excrement that day. It was so fragrant that Xu Fu even put his nose close to the bag on his shoulder.

Fortunately, this man who was full of femininity disliked the rat excrement that day, and walked ahead at the lead, with quick steps, as if he was afraid of being chased away by the smell of rat excrement that day.

Xu Fu didn't dare to lag too far behind, so he had to follow closely a few steps away.

When he reached the door of a short stone house, the man stopped and asked Xu Fu to put the rat excrement at the door.

"What's your name? How come I've never seen you before?" The man suddenly stared at Xu Fu and asked softly.

"I'm new here." Xu Fu felt nervous and replied hurriedly.

Xu Fu's panic was regarded as "inexperienced" in the eyes of the man, and he felt happy in his heart.

"I usually wait in the front yard. If it weren't for the rat poop today, I wouldn't be too lazy to come! But this trip is not in vain. I see you are quite smart. Follow me from now on. Don't do those things. Dirty and smelly life." The man looked around Xu Fu and then asked, "Did you give him a name?"

"not yet."

"Seeing as you are still strong, let's call you Shi Niu. Go take a bath and change your clothes first. If anyone asks, just say you are from Manager Shi Xiu. When I finish my work, I will teach you the rules of Shi Mansion! "The feminine man named Shi Xiu pinched Xu Fu's arm twice, showed a meaningful smile on his face, and walked away contentedly.

Xu Fu suppressed his nausea and smiled apologetically. He didn't breathe heavily until the man walked away.

I never thought that one day I would be "molested" by a man! If it wasn't for the purpose of checking out the "elixir" mentioned by the coachman, Xu Fu would have kicked away the disgusting man named Shi Xiu.

However, at this time, he used his "beauty" to gain a relationship with Manager Shi Xiu, and finally had a legitimate identity in Shi Mansion.

"Stone cow?"

Xu Fu was very dissatisfied with this name. How did he look like a cow?

"Where are we going to take a bath?" Xu Fu looked around and saw someone walking not far away. Xu Fu was about to step forward when he heard a noisy rubbing sound. I saw that the door of the stone house was pushed halfway open, and a thin white hand stretched out and pulled the celestial rat excrement in.

The stone door quickly closed, and the stone house looked like before again, but Xu Fu had goosebumps all over his body.

In the moments when the door was opened just now, although Xu Fu stood to one side and could not see clearly the people inside, he clearly heard the wailing sound coming from the stone house. The sound seemed to come from a very far away place, and by the time it came out of the stone gate, it was already very weak. Xu Fu heard it very clearly, and could feel that the person who was wailing must be in great pain.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xu Fu crept over. First he lay down and listened, but couldn't hear anything. Then he pushed it with his hand and immediately concluded that the stone door must be locked from the inside. It was impossible to get in unnoticed.

Xu Fu frowned slightly, and then he sneaked into Shi's house and within less than a stick of incense, he discovered several abnormalities.

Mountains of medicinal materials, large amounts of rat droppings, stone houses with screams...

"When something goes wrong, there must be something evil!"

Xu Fu thought about it and began to walk around Shi Mansion.

"Stop! Where did you come from, you wild boy? You can also enter the front yard of Shi Mansion?"

Xu Fu walked around and found nothing unusual, until he came to a moon gate and was stopped by two well-dressed guards.

As soon as Xu Fu sensed it, he discovered that these two people were actually fourth-grade monks. With such a grade, they could only guard a small moon gate for the Shi family. It seemed that the Shi family's family background was also quite deep, at least comparable to Shang. The Zhu family in Yangcheng was no less generous.

Xu Fu naturally doesn't take these minions seriously. What he cares about is whether there are ninth-grade masters in this house. Until it is clear, it is better to keep a low profile.

"I am the new recruit of General Manager Shi Xiu. I don't understand the rules. Please forgive me, sir!" Xu Fu quickly apologized.

"A person from Manager Shi Xiu?"

The two guards looked at each other and smiled when they heard this, and their expressions suddenly became a little frivolous. They looked Xu Fu up and down, and said in a somewhat lewd way: "Then you have to take good care of Manager Shi Xiu. In the future, we brothers may not I have to follow you to make a living!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Xu Fu said with some fear. He learned from these two people that servants like him could only bathe in the backyard, so he had no excuse to enter the front yard and could only say goodbye and walk away.

After walking along the path pointed by the two guards for a while, I finally found another door.

It was not difficult to find a place to bathe. After some hesitation, Xu Fu still did not dare to take a bath and change clothes. Being "molested" by Shi Xiuyi, the faint odor on his body made Xu Fu feel at ease.

Xu Fu found a deserted place and waited until dark before running back to a corner not far from the mysterious stone house to hide.

He had spotted this place during the day. It happened to be in the shadow of a wall behind him. Coupled with the rockery and flowers and plants in front of him, it was difficult to be noticed even if he was hiding here during the day.

Xu Fu hid in and started waiting boringly. Even though it was already dark, there were still a lot of people coming and going. As for the stone house, the door was opened twice in total, once to take in a bag of medicinal materials, and the other time to throw out a bag of things. Someone soon came to take them away.

"Do we have to force our way in?"

Xu Fu had been waiting for about two hours, feeling a little impatient. If Shi Xiuzhen went to find him and found that he was not from Shifu at all, how would he be able to walk in Shifu tomorrow?

"What is this stone house for?"

Xu Fu originally thought that the stone house was an alchemy room, but he never saw smoke coming from the roof. If it weren't for the alchemy room, what would the medicinal materials be used for if they were brought in in bags?

Just as Xu Fu was about to get up, the stone door opened and closed again.

Xu Fu was pleasantly surprised to find a figure walking out of the stone house. He quickly held his breath and stared at the figure.

After the man came out of the stone house, he walked straight forward, and Xu Fu quickly followed him. After waiting for so long, he finally got something. If this person doesn't come out, Xu Fu will really consider forcing his way in.

It was late at night and there were no lights on the roadside, but this man's steps were light and unaffected at all. Judging from the back alone, this person is still a slender woman.

Xu Fu didn't dare to follow him too close, but he was also afraid of losing him if he got too far away. When he saw the man entering the inner courtyard, the two guards guarding the door remained silent and only raised their swords to salute.

Naturally, Xu Fu didn't dare to go through that door. He looked around and found a wall that seemed hard to find. With a little step, he floated under the eaves of a roof. When I looked at the person I was following, there was not even a ghost, only a slight sound of the door closing.

Xu Fu looked around, but there was no light on in any room. He immediately panicked and lost track of the person.

Fortunately, there were only a few houses close to the Moon Gate. Xu Fu turned over and entered the inner courtyard. He recalled the direction from which the closing sound came. In just two ups and downs, he arrived at the wall of a house, and then walked along The wall moved forward in small steps.

The sound of a door opening suddenly sounded, which startled Xu Fu. After a burst of footsteps, there was another sound of the door opening.

Xu Fu speculated that someone came out of one room and then entered another room.

"What are you doing back here? Aren't you on night watch?" a woman asked in the room.

"I've been with that old guy for a day and I'm almost suffocated. It doesn't matter if he doesn't take a shower all day long. Today he also spread a bag of celestial rat feces everywhere. I really can't stand it! You smell it, Now I still stink!" complained another woman.

"The holy medicine has been consumed too much recently, and there is not much left. If you don't keep an eye on him, the holy medicine will not be able to keep up."

"Sister, don't worry, the holy medicine refined today is 20% more than yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't dare to sneak back."

"So, I finally got it together this month. I'll go check it out tomorrow and send it to Shi Qingshan. You've been working hard these past few days, so you should rest first!"

After the woman finished speaking cleanly, there were two more slamming sounds of the door closing, and she must have returned to her room.

Xu Fu waited for a moment and heard no more movement coming from the house, then quietly returned to the stone house.

Looking at the inconspicuous stone house, Xu Fu felt that it was becoming more and more mysterious. What were those "holy pills" and "holy medicines"? Xu Fu could not wait to use brute force to break open the stone door and go in to find out.

At this moment, footsteps sounded again, which was particularly clear in this quiet night.

"What kind of life do you think we have here, having to work in the middle of the night?" one of them complained.

"Just be content, otherwise I wouldn't be able to give you so much wages!" Another person comforted.

"I'm just afraid that if I earn my life, I won't be able to spend my life!"

"Shut up, be careful not to let others hear you, or you will be punished to serve those lunatics!"

The two of them stopped talking, stood the big bag they were carrying next to the stone door, and quickly left the place.

Looking at the pocket, Xu Fu became interested.
