Chapter 306: Drinking Alcohol and Taking Medicine
When Fatty Xin woke up, the moon was hanging in the sky.
He was also the last of everyone to open his eyes.
There was a crucible in front of Xiao Xiao, and the potion was being boiled. There was an orange-red flame at the bottom of the pot, and orange-yellow concoction in the pot. A faint red light enveloped the crucible, making people feel warm all over at first glance. a feeling of.
Jiang Yu sat aside with Zhu Si in her arms, whispering in the little witch's ear; Zheng Qing held the talisman gun, his eyes wandering between the clouds above his head and Nikita; the banshee held her head and leaned against a large bluestone On the ground, he looked lazily, as if he had given up on struggling completely.
There was a rumble in the distance, like thunder.
After a while, the thunder stopped. A dark figure walked around a cliff ahead and appeared in Fatty Xin's sight.
It's Zhang Jixin.
His whole body was filled with steam, his face had turned a reddish color, his robe was stained with a lot of slush, and there was a trace of blood on the gloves on his hands.
"A lone wild dog has been driven away." The red-faced wizard reported to his teammates casually, and at the same time glanced at the fat man who had just gotten up: "Hey, are you awake? I thought you would sleep. Until dawn."
Fatty Xin raised his head and looked at the bright moon.
"I heard a saying in the newsroom," he muttered, shaking his still dizzy head: "All history is made at night... As a qualified reporter, I will not miss the moment to witness history. "
"Then you should exercise more," Zhang Jixin patted the slush on his body and mocked: "I have told you before that you are fat and will suffer a lot when hunting!"
"This is strength." The fat man muttered, leaned towards the crucible in front of Xiao Xiao, and sniffed: "Astragalus, Atractylodes, Sunflower, Hudou Blood, oh, there is even Fire Dragon Bone... Such a heavy tonic , what is it used for?”
"Driving away cold and evil spirits, replenishing Qi and raising Yang," Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses and glanced at the fat man: "This mountain top is a bit evil, the air of death is too strong... You woke up at the right time, come on, help me look at this pot Magic potion, I need to hurry up and burn two bones."
"Burn the bones?" The fat man took the wooden spoon handed by the doctor and skillfully stirred the concoction in the crucible. At the same time, he asked curiously: "That kind of magic medicine also requires burning the bones?"
Xiao Xiao did not answer, but took out a few pieces of white animal bones from his pocket with a straight face and threw them into the orange-red flame under the crucible.
Zheng Qing kindly helped the fat man clear up his doubts.
"It's for divination," the captain of the Forgiveness Hunting Team stamped his feet, which were numb from the cold, and exhaled, "We have reached the top of the mountain... but we haven't found the way home yet, so Doctor I plan to burn a few bones and do some calculations... It's a brainstorming exercise. If you have any good ideas, you can tell us and let everyone give you advice."
While speaking, he glanced at Zhu Si subconsciously.
The little witch was staying obediently in Jiang Yu's arms, saying something seriously. Zheng Qing couldn't tell whether the person speaking at this moment was the seven-year-old little witch or 'Zhu Si' who had lived for thousands of years, but he knew that at this critical moment, both 'Zhu Si' must be present.
Just like Nikita.
Through Zhu Si, Zheng Qing learned that the succubus with scarlet eyes and cunning temperament also had another 'tenant'. Zheng Qing was very interested in this. He believed that the other 'tenant' in Nikita must have had bizarre experiences, but now was not the time to listen to stories, so the wizard had to suppress his curiosity.
"Way home?"
Fatty Xin's voice paused, and he looked up at the deep night, but the spoon stirring the crucible did not pause at all: "...I thought you would find a 'light door' or a similar magical passage on the top of the mountain. "
"If only it were that simple." Zheng Qing sighed and stamped his feet again.
It's really cold at the top of the mountain, especially when the moonlight is bright.
"If you ask me, you should be brave enough to jump down." Zhang Jixin tugged on the gloves on his hands and kicked away a small stone at his feet. His voice was full of courage: "Just like the kind we mentioned when we entered the dreamland. The way is to walk to the edge of the cliff in the dream, and then jump... When you wake up, you will be standing in the land of fantasy. "
"According to your logic, we should jump into the sky." The fat man retorted.
"Then let's try jumping up." Zhang Jixin was also a little unsure, so he simply squatted down and jumped up with all his strength. Looks like a large predatory frog.
This jump is very close to the ground and very far from the sky.
Looks stupid.
This caused several other companions to sneer.
At the same time, the small stone kicked away by Zhang Jixin slid through an arc in mid-air, fell off the cliff, and disappeared into the dark night. After a long time, a low 'click' sound came from under the cliff.
Zheng Qing couldn't help but wrap the robe tightly around him.
"A courageous idea," he praised dryly, but firmly rejected Zhang Jixin's suggestion: "Unless the world is going to be destroyed in the next second...otherwise, I would rather take you back to Usa City to find the old wizard. trouble...or shoot for the moon."
"Shoot at the moon? Why?" Fatty Xin stirred the concoction twice for the last time, looked at the orange color in the crucible, sniffed the mist floating on the crucible, nodded with satisfaction, took out a small bowl, and filled it for everyone One serving.
Zheng Qing took his share and replied: "I was holding the beans before and listened to the echoes of the history of Kelashan. Wasn't there a sentence that mentioned 'lunar eclipse night'... So I thought that the moon Making it look like a lunar eclipse should have some effect.”
The bowl of potion looked piping hot. I took a sip and found that the potion was warm and had a pleasant taste.
Zheng Qing simply poured it into his stomach, and his whole body immediately felt warm. In addition to the ubiquitous cold air on the top of the mountain, the evil spirit that originally penetrated the bone marrow also slowly subsided under the influence of the magic potion. Zheng Qing felt as if he was standing under the warm sun, his skin tingling slightly.
He couldn't help but twist.
"Shoot at the moon." While the fat man was distributing the soup, he looked back at the agitated wizard and muttered: "You really have an idea... When the elder was indecisive before, his muscles solved it; now you are indecisive. , the rune bullet is solved...has your mind been ruled by the rune bullet? "
"I hear what you're talking about!" Zhang Jixin viciously cracked his fingers and made a crackling threatening sound.
"So what if you hear it," Fatty Xin handed the medicine bowl to Zhang Jixin with a smile, and shouted: "Elder, it's time to take medicine."
With a dark face, Zhang Jixin took his share of the potion and sighed.
"It's boring." After taking the potion, the red-faced wizard immediately became more energetic: "It's a soft medicine that tastes like sugar water... It's not as strong as two bottles of Siren Rum, which also dispels evil spirits. Also avoid the cold.”
