Jia Juan of the New Red Mansion

The night before Jia Zhen fled back to Ningguo Mansion, she couldn't suppress her curiosity. Taking advantage of the dark moon and high wind and the dead of night, Jia Zhen sneaked into the alchemy room of the Taoist temple. The so-called curiosity killed the cat refers to his unafraid of death people.

He remembered that Taoist priests placed beggars in the wing room next to the alchemy room. At that time, Jia Zhen was still thinking about it, and she was not afraid of being stolen.Later, when she saw the beggar dying and lying on the bed half dead, Jia Zhen realized that she dared to let an outsider live in the alchemy courtyard because she saw that he couldn't even walk.

Jia Zhen touched the outside of the small courtyard familiarly. The outside of the small courtyard was not locked, and the courtyard door opened with a slight push. Due to years of disrepair, the wooden door clicked, which startled him.Patting his chest, he murmured in his heart that this Taoist temple is too stingy, the sesame oil money donated by the Jia family every year is enough to buy a Taoist temple, and he is reluctant to change to a new one.

He hesitated for a while, wondering if there were any Taoist priests guarding the room at night.He lowered his head to look around, picked up a small stone, and threw it in through the crack of the door. The force was so precise that the stone hit the large water tank in the yard.

Jia Zhen practiced martial arts when she was young, but unfortunately her aptitude was not good. She only learned the self-defense skills of a three-legged cat.Therefore, he has self-knowledge and has never revealed to outsiders that he knows martial arts.

When encountering problems outside, he followed his easy-going thugs to solve them.Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, he is an old gangster with no power to restrain a chicken.In fact, Jia Zhen has a life-saving kung fu that she is proud of. She probably used a slingshot to shoot birds since she was a child, and she became proficient in it. When she was practicing martial arts, she only learned the superficiality of other weapons, and she was very proficient in only one kung fu. It is to use stones as hidden weapons, and hit each one accurately.

While Jia Zhen was proud that she was not unfamiliar with hidden weapons, she also didn't forget to cautiously run to hide behind the big tree not far in front.After waiting for a long time, there was no movement inside.Only then did Jia Zhen feel relieved, and trotted a few steps into the courtyard.

The alchemy room under the night had an indescribably weird atmosphere. Jia Zhen swallowed her saliva, secretly amused if she was thinking too much, he always felt that the window facing the furnace red would go out and sway for a while, Just like the legendary will-o'-the-wisp, it flickers on and off.

He walked under the window of the alchemy room, dipped his finger in the saliva, and poked a small hole in the window paper.At a glance, the alchemy furnace with the height of two people was placed in the center of the alchemy room, surrounded by mist, not to mention that it really had the meaning of some fairy mirrors.

The red flame in the furnace is said to never go out all year round.Jia Zhen didn't believe this statement, maybe it was another trick of Taoist priests to deceive people.However, now there is no one in the alchemy room, and no one is adding firewood to the alchemy stove, but the fire can burn more and more vigorously, which is really exhausting. Could it be that it is really the alchemy used by the Taishang Laojun to subdue Sun Wukong? Furnace failed.

Just when Jia Zhen was about to go to the next room to have a look, there was a bang in Dan's room, which really scared Jia Zhen.His whole body was stiff, his face was pale and he was leaning against the window, his eyeballs stuck to the small holes, and he didn't dare to roll them, for fear of seeing something unclean or being discovered by others as a thief.

Strangely, there was no sound from inside.Jia Zhen regained her composure, stepped back a few steps and leaned against the pillar to breathe heavily.He had been building his mind for a long time, thinking that since he took the risk to come here, it would be a pity not to go in and have a look.

So, he plucked up the courage to enter the alchemy room, and a strong sandalwood fragrance almost suffocated Jia Zhen to death as soon as he entered the door.The windows around the house were closed tightly, and the scent of sandalwood permeated the house, no wonder it made the house foggy.Jia Zhen's eyes were stung by the scent of sandalwood and another unknown fragrance. He blinked vigorously, and then slowly opened his eyes to get used to it.

The first thing that catches the eye is that the alchemy furnace with a strong sense of presence, except for the strange flame inside, the outside and other places are no different from ordinary alchemy furnaces.What Jia Zhen is most concerned about now is who made the thud just now.

The alchemy room was transformed from two wing rooms. Because it was only used for alchemy, the furnishings in the room were very simple. There were three rows of futons in front of the alchemy furnace, and an old altar table was placed on the right side of the alchemy room. Tributes are placed on the table.On the wall above the altar is a portrait of Sanqing Tianzun.There is also a futon under the altar. The golden cloth on the futon is very worn. It seems that people often meditate here.

There is a mahogany Arhat bed in the left compartment, with white jade pillows placed on one side of the Arhat bed, and a thin silver-white brocade quilt on the bed. This Arhat bed should be used for Taoist priests to rest.The corners of Jia Zhen's mouth twitched, but it wasn't obvious that the Taoist priests here enjoyed it quite a bit.

Jia Zhen has seen a lot of rare things, but this is the first time she has seen pure white jade without a trace of blemish, not to mention that such a good jade has been turned into jade, which is a waste of money.Carefully holding the white jade in his hands, the surface of the white jade glowed blue under the light of the fire.The texture is delicate and it is hard to put it down.

Moreover, it looks like a whole piece of white jade, which is not affordable for ordinary people.Jia Zhen frowned, intuitively thinking that there was something in this Taoist temple.Based on the principle that more things are worse than less things, Jia Zhen began to regret her reckless behavior today. At such an age, how could she still be like a boy, not knowing the seriousness.

If you accidentally see something you shouldn't see, wouldn't you have to lose your life.Empress Jia Zhen was terrified, and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, the alchemy room must be too hot.While wiping the sweat, she inadvertently saw a piece of cloth protruding from the bottom of the Arhat bed. Jia Zhen bent over and looked around. Mother, there is a person lying under the bed.

Jia Zhen sat down on the ground, wishing that she was dreaming and would not remember anything when she woke up.This can't blame him for being timid.In a weird and unfamiliar room, seeing a person who doesn't know whether he is dead or alive is lying under the bed, and anyone would be scared out of his wits.

"Hmm." The man snorted in pain, Jia Zhen heard it familiar, so it was his voice just now.If you can hum, it means that you are not dead, and if you are not dead, you don't have to be afraid.Jia Zhen didn't mind sitting on the dusty ground, dragging her chin to look at the other party carefully.

Half of this person's face was covered by the black shadow under the bed, making it impossible to see his original appearance.Jia Zhen lit the torch to light up the bottom of the bed, mother, Jia Zhen screamed again in disappointment, this is the purpose of this trip, this person is the beggar who tested the medicine.

Instead of lying down in the wing room, he went to do something under Luohan's bed.The beggar's face was paler than in the daytime, and his lips were dark purple, making one wonder if he was poisoned.Jia Zhen saw him in the morning, and his face was not so ugly back then.

The most surprising thing was that he was very thin, his cheeks were deeply sunken, his round eyes protruded, and with his bulbous nose, the whole person looked very uncoordinated.Fortunately, the beggar was semi-conscious. If his eyes were open, he would look exactly like the zombie in the drawing book.

There was a pile of vomit next to him, emitting a disgusting smell of rotting food. Jia Zhen resisted the disgusting impulse and quickly got up from the ground, and crawled back to the guest room. Fortunately, no one noticed along the way.He covered the quilt from top to bottom to his feet, and he felt uncomfortable in the quilt, and he didn't want to show his head.

Shaking in the quilt all night, he managed to survive until dawn, when he heard the sound of cocks crowing, he quickly lifted the quilt, and hurriedly led people away from the Taoist temple without even washing his face.

Jia Zhen pinched her thigh hard, it hurt, it wasn't dreaming.What exactly is going on?The living dead, whose face was haggard like a dead person's, and whose body was so thin that only his bones could be seen, recovered so quickly in just a few days.

Look at his ruddy complexion, his flushed face doesn't look like he has suffered from a serious illness.However, having said that, he was not sick at all, but his body changed after eating the golden elixir given by the Taoist priest, and soon he was so sick that only half of his life was left.

Jia Zhen's gaze stayed on the beggar's big belly, and she opened her mouth wide. Surprise can no longer be used to describe his mood at the moment.If a person recovers from a serious illness, it is common for his face to turn rosy. Maybe it is because his body is in good shape, so he recovers quickly.

However, it was too unbelievable that Fugui's belly popped out in just a few days.Looking at his tall and thick figure, he is completely different from that beggar.When the beggar was first tied to the Taoist temple, Jia Zhen had seen him before, and in his impression he was a thin man, even if he returned to his original appearance, the contrast would be great.

Could it be that it was broad daylight, Jia Zhen really thought she saw a ghost, "Sneaky, what does it look like, hurry up and come in." Jia Jing roared displeased when he saw Jia Zhen who was poking around outside.Jia Zhen had no choice but to go in timidly.

After Jia Zhen entered the house, Jia Jing asked someone to take the beggar out.When there were no outsiders here, Jia Jing explained the identity of the man, and he was indeed the beggar.The Taoist took him to test the medicine and had a serious drug reaction, which was so serious that he almost died.

The Taoist priests were quite humane, and they didn't leave the beggars in the col of the back mountain.The Alchemy Academy is a forbidden area of ​​the Taoist temple, usually outside pilgrims will not come to this place, and he is placed here to recuperate, so he is not afraid of being disturbed.

Jia Zhen muttered, "Even if someone is dead, no one will know about it." Jia Zhen shrank her head in exchange for Jia Jing's indifferent treatment, "Father, you continue to talk, what happened next?"
