beg for chivalry

Zuo Sanniang knelt for a long time, her eyes were closed, her forehead rested on the stone brick with banyan pattern, her knees were cold and sore from the cold stone pattern, but her mind was still hot.She only felt that the eyes of Mu Yagong and Feng Heli fell on her back, and she felt a burning pain.

The silence lasted for a while, and Mu Shuang'er folded her arms and spoke with a touch of sarcasm in her words: "Stupid sister, didn't father and mother explain it to you? There is no cure for blindness, and there is only one pill. Gu Li will not give it to you easily. Although this pill can be refined again, in the past, it was only with the help of Zhenren Han, and it took three years of effort from all the people in the valley to make one. If you want to give it to you, how can you do it? Can it be regarded as the treasure of the town?"

Sanniang felt sour in her heart.Presumably this is indeed the case, as far as the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines is concerned, the Golden Crow is just an outsider who is kind to him, and the things guarded by his ancestors should not have fallen into his hands.

Seeing her bowing her head in mourning, Mu Shuang'er rolled her eyes, and said with ulterior motives: "Well, I think I can give Sanmei a chance." She turned to Mu Yagong and Feng Heli, "Father, mother, we Life in Wanyi Valley is peaceful. This valley has not been invaded by foreign enemies for a hundred years. All the people in the valley can heal themselves and are not disturbed by illness. But according to what San'er said, the life of the person she wants to save will not be much God, we have always had the reputation of saving lives and helping the wounded, so it is not impossible to give the pill back."

Zuo Sanniang suddenly raised her head.In her heart, Mu Shuang'er is a bad sister who always treats her strangely, as if a dog can't spit ivory.But maybe Mu Shuang'er still has sisterhood with her.Although Huan Dan is difficult to obtain, it may be possible to find a turning point from her.

But this time she was wrong.There was a ray of smile on Mu Shuang'er's face, her brows and eyes were crooked like a moon, she was a little creepy for some reason. "Hey, stupid sister, if you want to return the Dan, then we will give it to you."

"It's just... I want you to pick it out and take it away."

The floor of the Qiaolou was glowing brightly, and on each floor tile of the chaotic gossip plate was a medicinal tripod, a total of 680 tripods, arranged in a strange formation amidst the dancing flames.This is the alchemy room of Wanyi Valley, which is different from the practice of Taoist priests who set up the alchemy room by the cliffs and flowing water. The people of the valley prefer to refine medicine in Daping, where they can receive the wind and dew.At this time, the sky was almost dark, the sky was dark purple, and the Guren in charge of the alchemy furnace held torches, surrounding the alchemy room inside and outside, and the flames formed a long coiling dragon.Someone is playing various flutes, and the clear flute songs are wandering in the mountains and fields, blowing across the vertically and horizontally separated rice fields, and dispersing leisurely in the empty valley.

Zuo Sanniang was led to Qiaolou, in front of her were boiling or cold copper tripods, in which cinnabar and Zeng Qing were rolling, and smoke was rising.Mu Shuang'er stepped on the wooden platform, looked down at her in the hazy medicine smoke, and said sarcastically:

"Look carefully, Stupid San'er. In front of you are all the medicine cauldrons of the Mu family. I will put the return pill in one of the cauldrons. If you can find it at sunset, we will let you take it away."

A round of red sun has approached the top of the mountain, leaving only a piece of blood-like glow in the sky, and maybe it will completely fall into the dark sea after a few more incense sticks.

Sanniang glanced at the sky impatiently, her heart became more and more anxious, she raised her head and shouted: "Sister, didn't you deceive me? It's not far from nightfall, how can I find more than a thousand copper tripods?"

Mu Shuang'er smiled and said: "Don't worry, the return pill is invulnerable to water and fire, even if you practice it for a while, it won't break. It's because this matter is difficult, so I want you to try your shit luck. The return pill is so precious. How can you get it so easily?"

To tell whether the elixir refined in these more than a thousand copper tripods is a return elixir, not only need to cool down the water and sea, take the elixir out of the god room, but also carefully examine the materials used, it takes more than a moment .Zuo Sanniang looked at the thousands of copper tripods, perhaps her eyes were covered by the water vapor, she felt that the scene in her eyes was heavy and she couldn't breathe.One thousand 680 eight!How much effort would it take to find one of them that was refining the alchemy?

The Gu people gathered around the edge of the lawn, setting up small bamboo stools and looking at her with a smile.While chatting, some Gu people plucked Guo Geyisi's strings and practiced for entering the Moon Hall.Some were bored and turned over stones by the stream, catching small crabs for fun.They chattered together: "Look for it, San'er."

"San'er is really brave. As soon as he came back, he asked the duck to return the pill. But, if you find this pill, it's yours, and if you can't find it, don't blame us." The people in the valley laughed at her for a while, and then They scattered and went to play in the forest on their own.

These Gu people who were originally guarding the alchemy furnace seemed to ignore Zuo Sanniang at this moment, chatting and having fun on their own.Konoha's voice was ethereal and clear, but when it floated into Zuo Sanniang's ears, it somehow turned into a heart-stirring noise.She stood bewildered among the hot copper tripod, all alone.

Suddenly, a strong sense of sadness rushed into the atrium, making Zuo Sanniang tremble all over.She suddenly remembered her original intention of coming back to the valley, she wanted to find Huan Dan and go back to save Jinwu.She thought of the Jinwu weakly and smilingly looking at her face under the moonlight, the green pupils were dim and loose, as if he had already seen his own doom clearly and calmly.

Zuo Sanniang jumped up, threw herself on the nearest copper tripod, let out moisture in a hurry, wrapped her hands in wet cotton, and took out the elixir with a long clip.She took a small silver knife and carefully cut it open on the porcelain plate, but she was disappointed. There were fins inside, and there was a faint smell of fish.She took a few more pills, but they were nothing more than ordinary things like Qingfengvine and Buddleia.

The sun went down little by little, the fire became brighter and brighter, and the sky became darker and darker.Zuo Sanniang was so anxious that she accidentally bumped into many blisters on her hands, which turned red and painful.There are still many bronze tripods placed in front of me like a maze, and it is impossible to distinguish east, west, north, south.She repeated the actions of opening the cauldron, taking the pill, and dissecting the medicine, wiping her sweat tirelessly and smelling the smell of the pill.

Bronze Ding, Bronze Ding, Bronze Ding.The eyes are full of glowing copper tripods!The coiled dragon pattern gradually wriggled and twisted in her eyes.Zuo Sanniang was dizzy, and a sense of fear suddenly surged into her heart. She seemed to spend the rest of her life in this weird cauldron formation. The low cauldron furnace turned into a towering city wall, and she ran and bumped aimlessly .The water vapor filled the air, covering Gu Ren's face, and faint laughter floated from the side, as if mocking her who had gained nothing.

She glanced up at the sky several times in horror, and the ink-like night began to engulf the valley.The sun left only a golden rim on the top of the mountain, as if a thin cloud could swallow it up.

I don't know how long she has been busy, she only knows that her eyes are hot and painful from the smoke of the medicine, her body is exhausted and her mind is exhausted, like a walking dead, she is rummaging needlessly in the sand pool, trying to find a gold grain.Maybe Huan Dan was in the next medicine cauldron, Zuo Sanniang comforted herself in panic, but she was frustrated one after another, her heart had already sunk to the bottom of the valley.

Mu Shuang'er was dangling her little feet on the wooden platform, watching her with interest from beginning to end, like looking at ants who were panicked by being washed away by the current.Zuo Sanniang was at a loss, busy running between the bronze tripods, sweat covered her smooth forehead.She was so desperately trying to find the Huan Dan that could save people's lives, as if she had let out all the brute energy in that small body for a lifetime.

But she didn't know that there were no returning pills in the thousand 680 medicine cauldrons.

"You're so stupid, silly sister." Mu Shuang'er propped her chin, lazily looking at the anxious figure.She blinked her eyes for a while, then murmured in a daze, "My sister has lied to you so many times, why doesn't she have a long memory? How can she still believe me?"

Her younger sister was stupid and easy to get into a corner, so she believed her proposal for no reason.Mu Shuang'er brought her to the alchemy room just to wipe out her last hope.The Mu family didn't want to hand over the Dan to her from the very beginning, Zuo Sanniang was destined to return empty-handed.Mu Yagong and Feng Heli have seen through her bad intentions long ago, but they also let her deceive Zuo Sanniang, because returning the pill is really a precious thing, and they should not save someone who has no fate with Wanyi Valley.

Mu Shuang'er's eyes fell on Zuo Sanniang's hands. When we saw each other again, her fingers were still white and delicate. It seemed that she hadn't done any rough work in these years, but her hands were full of hot blisters.With tears in her eyes, Sanniang persevered in flipping through the medicine cauldron, taking out pellets of pills, her eyes shone brightly in the firelight, making her look even more pitiful.

But when the time came, Mu Shuang'er silently looked towards the horizon.The sun has sunk into the mountains, and the vast dense forests and blue-gray tiles seem to be covered by black veils, which can no longer be seen clearly.She let out a breath and stood up.There was a frame on the wooden platform, and a large cedar drum was suspended. Mu Shuang'er didn't pick up the drumsticks, but kicked a few times on the drum vigorously.

The sound of the drum was muffled like thunder, and suddenly a forest of birds was startled. The wings of the birds fluttered and fluttered chaotically, and the dark shadows melted into the night again.Zuo Sanniang raised her face in shock, her face was stained with tears, she looked at Mu Shuang'er in shock, her lips trembling and said nothing.

The girl smiled coldly at her and said, "The time has come. You haven't found Huan Dan. San'er, give up."

It was quiet on Qiaolou, only the crackling and burning sound of charcoal fire could be heard.Zuo Sanniang felt her heart beating even louder, pulling her chest every time, as if she wanted to pull herself into the quagmire.She felt unbelievable, and asked in a trembling voice, "What did you say...?"

She opened 210 seven copper tripods, took out the pills from them and opened them one by one, but she couldn't find the life-saving pill she wanted.Time was too tight, and there were so many copper cauldrons, she almost broke her legs, but she couldn't find the medicine cauldron she was looking for.

In an instant, the vision was dark and hazy.Zuo Sanniang's body was on the verge of falling, she shook her head desperately and panickedly, once again cast her hopeful eyes on Mu Shuang'er, and asked a question as if pleading. "Sister, what did you just say?"

But Mu Shuang'er couldn't sympathetically say the answer she wanted, only to see the little sister sat down comfortably on the wooden platform, with her two slender and white legs crossed, showing pity and indifference stared at her.My sister opened and closed her red lips, uttering cruel words. "I said, you have already lost completely, San'er. The Dan will not be given to you. Whether you blame me or your parents, it will not be handed over to you."

"If you want to go, then go."
