Chapter 65 Gathering
Duan Qing walked back to his hut with the fool.
The fool was not afraid of strangers in the new environment, running around in front of and behind the house, very excited.
Ignoring the fool who was having fun, Duan Qing lay on the bed, still feeling like a lump in his throat, always with a suffocation that he had nowhere to vent.
He couldn't accept that Senior Sister Luying had changed her mind so quickly.
Is the eldest brother so unimportant to him?
Thinking of the eldest brother's last words and the tender eyes when he talked about Senior Sister Luying, his heart suddenly twitched!
Is this the human heart!
Duan Qing sighed heavily. Since he left Xiao'an City, what he saw and heard in the past year or so was very different from his life in Xiao'an City. He even experienced life and death crises several times and met despicable and insidious people like Qian Datong.
But he always had an indelible beautiful vision and a persistent obsession in his heart.
That was Xiao'an City's parents, and the love between the eldest brother and Senior Sister Luying.
But now Senior Sister Luying has fallen in love with someone else, which Duan Qing sees as a betrayal, and it hits the beautiful vision he has kept in his heart hard.
Duan Qing suddenly felt a little tired and homesick. He really wanted to go back to Xiao'an City to see his parents, taste the dishes made by his father, and listen to his mother urging him to work!
Thinking of his parents, he suddenly felt less annoyed.
The only thing that can always keep the original intention and remain consistent is probably the love of parents. The eldest brother has passed away, and Senior Sister Luying has the right to love, so let her go!
Let's take a look at the gains of this trip to the spiritual mine first. Duan Qing, who has figured it out, began to focus on cultivation.
He took out the bag and began to count.
First, there were rows of neatly stacked bamboo tubes, which were full of spiritual liquid, and then there were another dozen bamboo tubes and a dozen wooden gourds placed aside.
Most of these bamboo tubes and wooden gourds were empty, only three wooden gourds were filled with the spiritual spring water he had tested, which were ten raw stones, fifty raw stones, and one hundred raw stones.
In order to test the timeliness of the spiritual spring water after sealing, he had not touched the three spiritual spring waters, but opened them twice in the middle to check whether the spiritual energy had dissipated.
In addition, the more conspicuous thing in the bag was the bodies of two Xuanyin Kuihu, which he placed in the corner. One body was very complete, and the other body was separated.
He knew that these two bodies must be worth a lot, but he didn't know how to deal with them at present. He could only keep them in there temporarily and let them see the light of day again when there was a chance.
In addition to these things, the remaining things in the bag were his flying sword and Qian Datong's black dagger, his rag bag, and the deformed black pot, as well as several porcelain bottles, Yinyuanshu jade slips, Taoist robes and other sundries left by his senior brother Ma Liang.
There was also a wild deer and some homemade green skin powder seasonings. These were put into the bag on the day he found the fool. He wanted to get some to eat, but he was too busy practicing and never got rid of them. Now the wild deer was not damaged at all, and it was still the same as when he put it in.
In the rag bag, the most important thing for him at the moment was the mysterious metal, and the pot of Qin wine his father gave him when he left Xiao'an City.
As for the several porcelain bottles left by Senior Brother Ma Liang, they contained some elixirs he didn't recognize. He didn't dare to move them without knowing the efficacy, so he kept them in the bag. He kept wearing the Taoist robes.
Duan Qing took out the deformed black pot and felt a little distressed. Since he came to Jinxuan Sect, he hadn't used this pot to cook food, but he took it out to resist the attack of Xuanyin Kuihu and saved his life.
I must find Hu the blacksmith to repair it when I return to Xiao'an City in the future!
He opened the bag and prepared to put the black pot in it, but when he opened it, he was suddenly stunned!
He saw that there was a "stone" where the black pot was just placed!
He put the black pot away and took out the "stone" with some doubts.
The "stone" was brown all over, with some grooves on the surface. At first glance, it looked a bit like a waste stone, but it was a bit bigger, as big as half of his palm.
Duan Qing turned the stone over a few times and found that in addition to the grooves on it, there was also a thumb-sized red spot.
He was a little confused. This was the first time he saw this thing. It was definitely not the original thing in his bag. How could it suddenly appear in his bag?
He didn't find it before, maybe it was blocked by the black pot, but where did this thing come from?
He concentrated on thinking, and suddenly, he thought of something.
He opened the bag and locked his eyes on the broken head of the Xuanyin Xuanyin Kuihu that was divided into two halves.
He remembered that when he first put the severed head into the bag, there was a bulge on it, but when he gave it to Senior Sister Su later, the bulge on the head burst open.
Could it be... . . . !
He suspected that this thing, like the ball Senior Sister Su took away at that time, was the inner elixir of the Xuanyin Kuihu, but this strange-looking stone was not like the smooth inner elixir!
Duan Qing looked at another complete Xuanyin Kuihu corpse, and there was no protrusion on its flat head.
It was really strange!
What on earth is this?
After looking at it for a long time, Duan Qing couldn't figure it out. He could only guess that this thing was related to the Xuanyin Kuihu, but he didn't even know the Xuanyin Kuihu itself, and even heard the name from Senior Sister Su.
So he didn't understand what this thing was for, so he could only put it in the bag to see if he could use it in the future.
After sorting out his things, Duan Qing prepared to start practicing.
He first went to the well and filled a dozen wooden gourds with water, then drew a bucket of water for the fool, poured a few drops of spiritual liquid into it and placed it by the well.
Ever since he gave the fool spiritual spring water once, the guy has been addicted to it. He doesn't even look at ordinary water and insists on drinking spiritual spring water!
That's why he threatened the fool to shut up by cutting off water for three days, which worked so well.
It's just that Duan Qing has a lot of spiritual liquid, but he still feels a little distressed by the fool.
As for fodder, he doesn't worry about it. There are weeds everywhere around here, and the fool can't eat it all. This is why he didn't store fodder in the bag before he came back.
After returning to the house, he took out the spiritual spring water containing ten raw stones for testing, and planned to use up the gourd spiritual spring water first.
Although he can now withstand spiritual spring water with more spiritual energy, he can't waste it, right?
After removing the cork and feeling it carefully, after almost a year, the spiritual spring water in the gourd was still full of spiritual energy and showed no signs of dissipation.
Duan Qing nodded with satisfaction, took a sip, and began to practice.
At this time, in the main hall of Jinxuan Sect, a group of people were sitting in seclusion, arguing fiercely.
The leader was the head of Jinxuan Sect, Baihua Zhenren, and the two rows below were the five peaks of the sect, and the remaining six elders except the deceased Elder Li.
All the great masters of the Jinxuan Sect were present.
At this time, one of the six elders, a tall old man with a stubble on his face, was arguing with another elder.
"People have bullied us to the point of being bullied, and we are still like turtles, not daring to fart. How can our Jinxuan Sect have the face to stand in Xiaonanjie!"
Another short and fat old man touched his chin and said helplessly. "Hey, old man Sun, what's the point of you yelling at us? The Shayue Sect is overdoing it, but have you thought about the consequences of going to war with them? Do you really want the thousand-year foundation of the Jinxuan Sect to be destroyed in one fell swoop?"
At this time, another thin old man was dissatisfied with what the short and fat old man said and refuted.
"Then according to what Elder Liu said, what should we do? Wait for the Shayue Sect thieves to annihilate us one by one?"
