Servant of the Otherworldly Pharmacopoeia

Xu Jiu opened his eyes.

Her cheeks were soft, and her eyes were half covered by something.He moved, and a stabbing pain quickly spread throughout his body.

"Hiss—" he heard his own voice, and when he was fully awake, he found himself lying prone on a stone bed with soft pillows under his cheeks.

Wiping his eyes on the pillow and wiping away the tears forced by the sting, he found the ground strange.

The ground was gray, cracked and rough.

This is not the floor of the manor.

He tried his best to scan his surroundings, and found that he was in a castle room.The bed was a hard bed made of stone slabs he picked up, and there were some scattered scraps piled up in the corner of the room, all of which he had used before.

He felt as if all the muscles in his body were suddenly convulsed, and he buried his face hard in the pillow, not caring that the wound was still there, and just lay there quietly, motionless.

He is always fuzzy, especially when he just wakes up.He thought he was just having a bad dream, but he didn't expect that when he woke up, not only did everything come true, but the reality was even worse than the dream.

He was abandoned on the wasteland alone.

He stood up slowly with a stiff neck, and walked outside step by step.

The castle is especially empty and desolate, the light from the dome is dazzling, the ruins are inlaid with golden light, and the strong wind will bring the broken feathers of the bird's nest to float down.

Nothing at all.

The Shata Beast is gone too.

Xu Jiu walked to the place where the sand tower beasts were placed in the past and stared blankly, trying to find the traces of the disappearing ruts from the ground.He wondered numbly how long it would take to get to the manor without the sandbeast.

He suddenly felt that he was too stupid, and even suspected that he was another species. Otherwise, why didn't he notice that human beings are so fickle?I still don't understand.

So fickle, don't understand.

He silently chewed the word "don't understand", and suddenly felt the huge gap in the whole world.

He couldn't tell whether he didn't understand people's hearts, or whether he didn't understand Du Tuxuan Shuang?Maybe it's because they are originally two species, like swimming fish and flying birds, clouds and rocks.Realizing this, he suddenly felt a emptiness in his heart, and he walked alone in the huge emptiness, stepping on the emptiness like ashes, leaving such small footprints one by one.

The soul sings alone.He stood alone for a long time, the pain became more and more numb, and he was almost detached with lightness—but he was finally pulled back to the ground by something.

Yes, his heart was beating greatly, and the dazed man suddenly came back to his senses and hurried back to the room where he stayed before.

He carefully checked the pillow and quilt for a long time, thought about it, and then stripped himself naked.There is still nothing, how come there is not even a small note?

He touched the bandages on his neck and shoulders with his hands, and he estimated in his mind how likely it was that Du Tuxuan left the message on the bandages.

It is possible after all.

With joy, he immediately tore off the burden on the wound.

……

Black and red bandages with blood and medicine... Really, nothing.

Blood dripped down his drooping head and onto his hands.

He tied the bandage to the wound again, wrapped it up indiscriminately, walked out of the room quickly, and walked up the stairs.

The big bird's nest was shaking independently in the strong wind. He nestled under the bird's nest, with the dark wall of the nest on his head, looking forward to the early return of Liche Beast.

He is going to the Black Tower.

Of course he couldn't do it by walking, he didn't have any ID card, even if he walked step by step, he couldn't enter the city gate. He was absolutely sure that no one would let him in.Only by flying over, he needs Li Che Beast to help him.

Xu Jiu squatted under the bird's nest to count, his mind was so focused that he was blank, he was so engrossed in thinking that he accidentally fell to his knees, his head hit the ground with a sound, and his wound was also throbbing.

The body is so poor that it may not even be able to climb up the bird's back.

Realizing this, Xu Jiu immediately entered the space.There are ten miles of apricot blossoms in the space, and the roads are like snow.He hadn't had time to tell Du Tuxuan about such a beautiful scene.He walked through the long vermilion-painted corridor and down the avenue to the pharmacy.List the medicines you want to use into a medicine list and mix them out, eat the edible ones on the spot, and then walk slowly into the water with the rest of the medicines.

All the water in the space is spiritual water.

The river is meandering, the lake is clear, and the whole body sighs comfortably while staying in it.

White smoke rose from Xu Jiu's body.The medicine he took was extremely strong, but it also had the strongest healing effect on the wound, but the process of the medicine's effect could not be exonerated.The cool water of the lake has medicinal properties, and it is undoubtedly the most effective tool for relieving pain.

After soaking in hot and cold for a while, his body, which couldn't keep up with the rhythm, was much better, and he even felt as strong as if he had taken medicine.

Taking advantage of his strong body, Xu Jiu hurriedly got out of the water and went to the medicine field opposite the building to pull up a lot of vegetables and herbs, preparing to bribe the big bird.

When I came out, it was almost dusk, and the red thick clouds burned half of the sky, and the other side was light blue sky and large gray cumulus clouds.The sky seemed to be on fire, and it was oppressively close to the top of my head, but I couldn't touch it with my hands.

Xu Jiu tried his best to stretch his hands up, and the strong wind blew from the other side of the cliff, scraping his wet clothes.

When the clothes were about to dry, a black spot the size of a grain of rice came from afar.

Xu Jiu walked out happily.

"Ka-"

"Master Bird!"

The big bird swooped down to the ground quickly, and its huge iron claws scratched the floor a few more scratches. Xu Jiu was blown back by the strong wind and leaned against the bird's nest.

Big Bird was obviously very happy, tilting his head to look at Xu Jiu, looking left and right, cooing all the time.

Xu Jiu was tickled by its sharp beak, which stretched from his hair to his neck, and then the big bird stopped there, watching Xu Jiu with its eyes, "Cuckoo?"

Xu Jiu raised his hand and touched it: "Master Bird."

"Cuckoo?" Big Bird lightly touched the wound on his shoulder.

"Master Bird, I want to go to the manor, can you take me there?" Xu Jiu pointed in the direction of the manor.

Liche Beast was raised in the castle when it first broke its shell. It also has some impressions of the manor, but it is not familiar with it. For birds, going to a crowded city is far less attractive than hunting in the wilderness.

Li Che Beast followed his guidance to look there, shrank its neck, and rubbed its bird's head against it in a "cuckoo".

"Master Bird, I want to go to the manor." Xu Jiu hugged its bird's head and smoothed its fur, insisting calmly.

Rarely, Big Bird didn't bargain, and even ignored the food on the ground. He cooed at Xu Jiu coquettishly, then turned around and squatted on the ground.

This is agreed.

Xu Jiu couldn't tell what it was like, wiped the sweat off his hands, and bent down to climb on the bird's back.

The big bird raised its head, flapped its wings lightly, suddenly trembled, and then turned around, one person and one bird had already left the rooftop.

The Liche beast let out a cry, and carried Xu Jiu on its back into the red cloud.

The big bird has been flying steadily towards the direction of the black tower, with the flat wasteland gravel underneath, the abrupt and sharp stones you can see everywhere, and occasionally there are small low stone houses, and people move slowly like ants.

When the room got taller and there were more and more people, the Black Tower finally appeared in sight.

The blue pearl on the spire is not so dazzling during the day, and the whole presents a kind of blue-gray, which is quite different from the brilliance in the dream.Xu Jiu straightened his back, watching himself getting closer and closer to the black tower.

Suddenly the big bird croaked, as if it had encountered some invisible barrier, and its progress was stopped. The big bird circled around the barrier anxiously, and croaked angrily incomprehensibly.

Xu Jiu remembered that the manor had a protective barrier.

Except for Qianlizhi who reported the news, that kind of bird has a special anti-barrier mark, and other birds will be bounced away by the barrier.

At this time, they had just arrived near the manor.

Xu Jiu told the big bird to stop, and got off the bird's back and walked slowly towards the gate of the manor.

The divine way is straight and long, and the beasts on both sides are ferocious and mighty. Xu Jiu kept a steady pace without squinting, staring directly at the wide gate ahead, and walked forward step by step.

However, the gate of the manor was closed, and there was no one there.

Xu Jiu was very surprised. You must know that the manor is the residence of a lord, and there is always a doorman in front of the gate at any time.Xu Jiu has been here for so long, and this is the first time I have seen him without a doorman.

He knocked on the door.

The door is made of red copper covered with gold, and the knocker is carved with a Dutu bird.

The small window next to the gate opened after many clicks, revealing the face of a strange doorman.Seeing Xu Jiu's doorman's eyes widen, the window slammed shut, and the person disappeared immediately.

Xu Jiu: "..."

He kept knocking on the door.

Soon the door opened a crack, and then continued to open to both sides, revealing the whole picture of the person standing inside the door.

"Blue Sky."

Qingkong was wearing the butler's uniform, but his face showed no joy of promotion, instead he was rather haggard.He walked up to Xu Jiu: "It's me."

Xu Jiu thought of the reason for being expelled from the manor. Even if his sister was not fully responsible, it was the direct trigger, so he didn't like Qing Kong at all, so he said indifferently: "I want to see Du Tuxuan Shuang."

If he nominates the name of Du Tuxuan with a surname like this, Qingkong will definitely be very dissatisfied in the past.But now Qing Kong ignored it, and only watched Xu Jiu for a while and said wearily: "My lord is gone."

"What?" Xu Jiu didn't understand.

"My lord has gone to the royal city."

"To the royal city?"

Qing Kong nodded: "My lord and the butler have left."

Du Tuxuan left.

Ever since the contract was branded off, Xu Jiu could no longer feel the influence of Du Tuxuan. He looked up at the black tower, and the wound was bursting with pain.His eyes were full of calm, and he said slowly: "You said he left?"

"Yes." Qingkong met his glass-like empty eyes and said affirmatively.

"Why did he leave?"

"Adults say it's to relax."

"Oh..., let's relax." Xu Jiu drew his voice, as if he was thinking hard, "Didn't you hide from me on purpose?"

Qing Kong shook his head: "There's no need to avoid you, Jiu. With the magnanimity of adults, I won't make excuses for avoiding you."

Xu Jiu sneered, thought for a while, and it really was.Du Tuxuanshuang really didn't make excuses, he just did what he wanted, so why is it worth making excuses?

"Did he not see me?"

Qing Kong nodded, conveying Du Tuxuan's words: "My lord said that you are a master and a servant, you have followed him anyway, let me give this to you."

Xu Jiu looked at the thing in Qing Kong's hand: "What is this?"

"This is the key to a small box, which is the compensation that the adults gave you. Nine, you have been deported to the wasteland, and the adults issued a life-long deportation order. I hope you will not appear here again, otherwise I will follow the law. deal with you."

"Deportation for life..." Xu Jiu smacked these words and asked with a sneer, "What about your sister?"

Qing Kong's eyebrows jumped, and his emotions were quickly suppressed: "She was dismissed just like you, and is now locked in a cell in the manor."

"Hehe." Even being locked up in a cell in the manor is much better than being deported for life.However, Du Tuxuan gave him the breakup fee after all, Xu Jiu looked down at the key in Qing Kong's hand, "Where is the box?"

Qing Kong was stunned for a moment, the servant next to him quickly brought a boxy small box over, Qing Kong opened the box with a key in front of Xu Jiu, and there was a box full of silver coins inside.

Qingkong turned sideways to let Xu Jiu look at it: "This is what the adults gave you."

Xu Jiu dialed casually: "Oh, there are quite a few."

"My lord means to let you live a good life with the gold coins, and you don't have to come back here again."

"..." Xu Jiu felt cold all over, and he said dumbly, "You have already said it just now."

Qing Kong flicked his sleeves and raised his head and said, "If that's the case, then let's say goodbye."

Xu Jiu didn't return the salute, turned around and walked back with the box in one hand.

Li Che Beast is staggering towards this side.It couldn't fly near the manor, but when he saw Xu Jiu, he turned around step by step with his belly outstretched without hesitation, and the sound of "cuckoo" fell on the silent Shinto, making the surroundings even more silent.
