Bevan Mountain

Three nights later, Wei's mansion was filled with solemnity.

The altar is set in the open space in front of the main hall, with lamps burning in all directions, and a mysterious platform in the middle. Nine fires are arranged in front of the platform, and a five-foot incense burner is burned in the back.On the altar are incense, candles, pens and inkstones, and the Fang family's talisman order.

After the old alchemist counted the things needed to cast the spell, he ordered Master Wei's "corpse" to be lifted out of the coffin and placed on the bed in the bedroom.

He glanced at all the wives, concubines and servants, turned around and said to the steward, "Please also ask someone to move your bed to Mr. Wei's bedroom, close the doors and windows, and then lie on the bed, don't open your eyes.

I will cast spells here until midnight.All the people in the house waited in front of the main hall.It only takes half a stick of incense to complete. "

The steward changed into old and washed clothes today, bowed his head and listened, with a smooth brow, and only wrote down the instructions one by one.

When he raised his head again, with tears in his eyes, he entrusted him, "Thank you Immortal Master." After speaking, he walked firmly to the bedroom.

The ladies looked at the steward's back, their eyes were flushed, they looked at each other in blank dismay, and kept silent.

Everyone in Wei's house began to wait quietly for an upcoming ceremony that would be joyful or sad.

Only the alchemist was not idle, and walked around the house several times, making sure that there were no idlers waiting nearby, before returning to the hall.

child time.The old alchemist came to the altar and lit incense, and he recited the words in his mouth. Everyone couldn't hear them clearly, but they only knew that the volume was high or low, and it was smooth and orderly, and they didn't know the meaning.When reciting for a long time, all the people outside the teaching venue fell into a drowsiness.

Finally, the alchemist moved his body, reverently, and bowed to the sky.Immediately after chanting a mantra and drawing amulets, a gust of wind passed by, the lanterns in the house swayed a few times, light and shadow intersected, and two huge black shadows loomed outside the wall. Cross the courtyard wall and rush towards the bedroom.

The candles on the stage were flickering, and everyone at the scene was terrified, and the female family members cried and hugged each other.

The alchemist got off the altar and hurriedly told everyone: "You wait here and wait, don't walk around and damage my magic circle!" After speaking, he hurried to the bedroom.

The alchemist came to the door of the bedroom and listened quietly. It was as quiet inside the door, and there was no one following outside the door, so he opened the door and entered.

I saw Mr. Wei and the steward lying on their respective beds, the steward's body trembling, and two big black shadows standing in the room shaking back and forth like wine gourds.

The old alchemist looked around again to make sure, and after closing the door, he lit the talisman paper in his hand, and the black shadow followed the talisman paper, and the smoke disappeared.

Then he glanced at the steward again, counted the time, turned around and opened the door again, knelt down at the door, looked up at the night and said loudly: "Thank you for your kindness! Send me off!"

Hearing the old alchemist's voice, the steward closed his eyes and couldn't help asking, "But the fairy master is here? I... am I dead?"

The alchemist walked up to the steward and patted him on the shoulder: "Open your eyes, the gods think of you for your loyalty, and returned your master's lifespan to him. Your lifespan will not be reduced."

The steward hurriedly sat up and walked to Master Wei's bed. Seeing that Master Wei didn't respond, he hesitated and said, "Master...why didn't Master wake up? Could it be that the master's technique failed to deceive this old slave?"

The alchemist walked to the bed, put two fingers in front of Master Wei's breath to test it, then withdrew his hands, bent down, and leaned into Master Wei's ear, suddenly shouted: "Don't sleep!"

Master Wei sat up in shock: "Who?!"

When the steward saw this, he immediately turned from sadness to joy, and suddenly fell to his knees, weeping uncontrollably.

It was just dawn, and a carriage pulled out from the backyard of Wei Zhai, driving the dawn mist, and driving on the empty streets in the city.

After going around a few alleys and coming to the deserted courtyard at the back, the driver jumped off the carriage and entered the courtyard.

After a while, he got out again, took a few big bags in his hand, threw the bags into the carriage, got into the car again, and drove out from the alley.

On the corner of the street, there was a beggar wrapped in a rag and still asleep. The driver turned his back on his back and took out a few scattered silver coins, and threw them into the bowl at the beggar's feet.

It was the old alchemist who was driving the car at this time with a happy face. With the slight bumps in the car, there was a sound of metal scraping. The alchemist raised his eyebrows and was overjoyed.

When he was going out of the city gate, he suddenly remembered something, and quickly tightened the reins, and the carriage stopped at the fork in front of the city gate.

I glanced at the dense forest to the west: "I almost forgot that there is someone waiting for me to share the money..."

The old alchemist curled his long beard on his chin, curled it halfway, and let go of it: "Since the silver has been obtained, the time limit for the shape-changing talisman will expire in a while, and no one will recognize me by then, even if her spells are stronger than mine. Going further east to Jinxing County, I am not afraid of her anymore.

Why have I worked so hard for so many days to give half of the money to an irrelevant person?Just walk away and save yourself the trouble! "

Thinking of this, the alchemist immediately turned his horse's head and galloped eastward.

The river outside the city flows from west to east, and the official road by the river is vaguely covered by the mist on the river, making it difficult to see clearly at a distance.The alchemist expected that there would be no one going out at this time, so he hurried on his way without thinking too much.

Not long after walking, a black figure was vaguely seen in front of him.

The alchemist saw someone in front of him, so he hurriedly got off his horse, and he didn't see clearly until he got closer—the debt collector is coming...

When the man heard the carriage stop beside him, he also turned his head suspiciously.

The alchemist's heart skipped a beat, and he cursed secretly: "You said you didn't follow me, it's all blocked outside the city!"

So he squeezed the rein tightly, and said with a sneer: "Little friend... why are you here? I just went to the west of the city to look for you, but I didn't see anyone, so I had to..."

The girl was as calm as ever: "The ingot of silver you gave me the day before yesterday, I put it by the river where you and I talked, have you seen it?"

"Ah? Ah... I see you." The alchemist didn't know why, so he only agreed first before making any plans.

"Advisable?"

"I've taken it." The alchemist nodded repeatedly, anyway, there is a lot of silver in the car, and you wouldn't recognize any of them.

"Hmm..." The girl responded, "Keep the reward for yourself, I don't want to share it with you." After speaking, she turned and continued on her way.

The alchemist was puzzled after hearing this.Neither walking nor stopping.Another doubt, have I met a worldly expert who is as clear as water?

Curiosity overwhelmed defenses, so I decided to explore again.Picking up the reins and shaking, he drove forward slowly, and asked next to the girl, "Where are you going, little friend, I can give you a ride."

The girl didn't look back, and said lightly: "No need..."

The alchemist was complaining in his heart that this day was difficult to talk about, the girl suddenly stopped, turned to him and asked, "Do you know where Master Bailu is now?"

The alchemist hurriedly reined in the reins again, suspecting that he had heard wrongly, he asked again: "Really White Deer?"

The girl nodded.

The alchemist leaned his neck, thought about it carefully, and said, "You mean the real Bailu, a medical classicist? Didn't he disappear many years ago? What do you want him for?"

The girl looked at him blankly, waiting for his next words.

"Study medical theory?" Seeing that she was silent, the alchemist asked another question.

The girl gave a casual "hmm".

Although the alchemist was puzzled, he still persuaded him: "I heard that Master Bailu's whereabouts are uncertain, and he practices medicine in various places. There is no news for so many years, and it is unknown whether he is alive or dead. If you want to study medicine, I have other medical experts Can……"

"No, thank you." The girl briefly interrupted him, turned around and was about to move forward.

The alchemist hurriedly said, "Are you just walking to find it?"

The girl drooped her eyes and pursed her lips, instead of walking to look for it like this, should I still fly to look for it?In the end, he said lightly: "Hmm..."

The alchemist raised his eyebrows and smiled narrowly: "Have you run out of money?"

Embarrassment flashed across the girl's eyes, and she didn't want to say any more.Just as he was about to say goodbye, before he could speak, he opened his mouth slightly, slowly raised his finger and pointed at the old alchemist and said, "You...are empty..."
