Chapter 37 Alchemy

Submerged on the reed shoal, dozens of thatched cottages stand scattered here and there.

In a thatched hut, lay several corpses, the oldest one was no more than eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest was only two or three years old.

The chest and liver were all gone, and the child's face was terrified and distorted, showing that the murderer's methods were extremely brutal.

After examining the bird scratches on the corpse one by one, Wei Jia looked at Ji Hui with a serious expression, "Can you show me the spirit bird, please?"

Ji Hui was silent for a while, then turned her head to look at Peacock, Peacock nodded generously, saying that I listen to you, as long as you let me do anything, I will do anything.

So Ji Hui turned her face away, put the peacock on the back of her hand and handed it over.

Weijia was about to reach out to grab it, but Peacock was ready to give him a paw. It was not about personal enmity, but just attacking the human nature.

But Ji Hui withdrew his outstretched hand suddenly, Weijia's hand was empty, and Peacock's claw was also empty.

Wei Jia looked at Ji Hui with a puzzled expression, but he was calm and did not question him.

"Just check it like this, don't take it away." Ji Hui glanced at Peacock coldly, "Stand still."

You have the heart to let me be touched by others?Peacock's eyes were full of accusations.

Ji Hui didn't need to speak, but just gave another warning look, so Peacock could only glare at Weijia, and vowed that if this man dared to touch him randomly, he would let him know what a monster's desire for revenge is.

Wei Jia was in a heavy mood, neither spoke nor fumbled, but stretched out his hand and cut under the peacock's claws.

In an instant, a not-so-shallow wound was cut by the sharp claws. He recognized the shape of the wound, and shook his head slightly to Hua Zhen who was on the side.

Ji Hui put the crow back on her shoulder.

"Tiger," Weijia hesitated for a moment, before saying, "I heard that Tiger was once a priest of Nanhuang, and his magic skills are extremely high. I don't know if you can give me some pointers. Of course, I must be very grateful."

These days, dozens of children under the age of ten have already been killed, and the entire tribe is panic-stricken. Although Weijia is confident that he will find traces soon, he doesn't want another child to be killed during this period of time. As far as food is insufficient, weaker children will be killed when they are born, and food will be left for the strongest children. It is conceivable that the family members of the children will be sad when they die like this.

Ji Hui nodded, not hiding anything: "The more vicious the spell is, the more it needs to be sacrificed to living beings. The fresher it is, the more effective it is. Born to take people's hearts, it represents the place of sacrifice. It's not too far from here."

He pointed to the ground with his fingertips, and the loess ground slowly bulged, showing the distribution of mountains and rivers for dozens of miles around. Glitter.

"Sacrificing living beings has requirements for the three places of heaven, earth, and people. Those three places are the easiest places to cast spells. As for using magic to track..." He shook his head lightly: "I have destroyed the magic weapon, and I can track it." The technique is no longer available."

"Thank you, Tiger, for your guidance." Weijia thanked Ji Hui, remembered the three places, and then went out with his bow. It was his clansmen who died, and he couldn't wait for a moment.

Ji Hui turned to look at Boyin: "Weijia has already explained to me about you. Would you like to follow me back to the Southern Wilderness?"

Boyin had already washed off the mud at this moment. He was a pale and thin middle-aged man. From his haggard face, he could vaguely see his former beauty.Hearing Ji Hui's words, he nodded: "Tiger doesn't dislike Boyin as a former minister of the two dynasties, how can Boyin refuse to follow?"

Ji Hui nodded: "Then let's go."

It has been delayed for a day, and it is better to send the grain and grass back to the Southern Wilderness as soon as possible.

The current food, plus the food that had been stored in the past, should be able to last until the spring planting. There are priorities, and he does not want to interfere with Dongyi's affairs.

Seeing him leave the room, Boyin sighed and followed him.

After boarding.

Looking at Dongyi Daze, Boyin suddenly felt lonely and homeless.

Along the way, with the help of Boyin, who is familiar with water, the boat easily avoided all kinds of hidden reefs and eddies. It was only then that Hui felt that Weijia's recommendation was extremely reliable, and it was not in vain for him to use Lianshan Yishu to deduce it for him.

Boyin was also a little relieved because he highlighted his important role. After all, he was old and didn't want to make trouble anymore. It was also great to be protected by the tiger.

But his thoughts only lasted until the moment he saw the Nanfeng Priest.

"Bo Mi!?" Bo Yin looked at Priest Nanfeng in surprise.

"Boyin!?" Priest Nanfeng was even more surprised than him.

Then Boyin raised his hand to strike a Tianshui knife. The Nanfeng Priest on the opposite side did not show any weakness, and he used all kinds of tricks. The two fought almost immediately, with such ferocity that they wished they could eat each other alive.

"This guy is actually Bo Mi?" Peacock tilted his head, feeling that he was still too negligent to discover such a big thing.

"They come from the same school of techniques, so they are brothers from the same clan?" Ji Hui didn't stop her, but turned to ask Peacock.

"Yes, but although they are brothers, their personalities are very different. Back then, Bo Yin and Hou Yi were friends, and together they found the elixir for Taikang, the king of Xia at that time. Taikang didn't want to return Hou Yi's wife to Hou Yi. He also wanted the elixir, but Bo Mi revealed the location of the elixir to please Nan Wei. Bo Yin was accused by King Xia of helping Hou Yi and his family. Your mother, Nan Wei, saved Bo Mi. It was changed to Nanfeng after being investigated by Taikang, but Boyin's wife and son died because of it." Peacock looked at the two men who beat them to death, and said lazily, "Two men, for two women, is it like this? Bro."

"The great priest is no longer suitable for being a priest." Ji Hui stretched out his hand, and countless stones on the ground seemed to hear the king's order, and automatically condensed into a stone whip in his hand. One person with one whip pulled the two of them apart, dissipating their energy and blood, making them unable to fight any more.

"Ah Hui!" Nan Feng forced himself to get up, and stood up, "He is a capricious person, you can't trust him!"

"If you don't trust him, what about you?" Ji Hui said indifferently, "Do you still want to be loyal to Xia Guo?"

No lord can tolerate the fact that his subordinates are always thinking about saving others with their own interests, and Ji Hui certainly can't. If it's just a master and apprentice, he can still help each other for the sake of former love, but these masters who admire their mother want to do it. Yes, it is no longer a matter of two people.

"That could also be your country of Xia." Priest Nanfeng said angrily.

"I'm a tiger, Ji Hui the tiger." Ji Hui stared at him, "If you can't figure it out, don't be a Nanhuang priest."

"Don't you remember how your mother died?" Nanfeng said a little disheartened, "She committed suicide so that you could become a tiger."

"Then do I want me to thank her?" Ji Hui replied calmly.

"Okay, okay, you don't want to, but I will definitely fulfill her wish, you are really cruel." Nanfeng tore off the bone chain around his neck, dropped his staff, and strode away.Fortunately, Xia Guo still has the last prince. As long as Si Kui is found, he will definitely help him restore the country.

Ji Hui watched him leave the hall, and then said to Boyin who got up from the side: "Go down, someone will arrange a place for you."

"Yes, I'm leaving." Boyin was worried that he would be silenced when he heard such a secret, so he immediately bowed respectfully after hearing Ji Hui's words.

The huge room became empty again.

"If you don't want to be a tiger, the demon queen is actually pretty good." The peacock rolled around in his arms.

"It's too late." Ji Hui shook her head, sat on the couch, closed her eyes and meditated.

"Ah Hui, if you want to work so hard, you need to practice in a little time!" Peacock raised his hand in a lonely and unbearable way. Ah Hui was obviously very active in the past, but how can he bear it now?

"Your strength is almost recovered." Ji Hui closed her eyes and said in a low voice.

Peacock froze, and resentfully said: "I was so careful, how did you find out?"

Ji Hui smiled lightly for a moment before saying, "For you, I can no longer rest assured."

"Is that why you are so eager to improve." Peacock felt bored, "Suddenly I was a little curious about our ending."

"It's just that they all died together. There's nothing to be curious about." Ji Hui said coldly.

"No, I still want to give birth to a posthumous egg for you!" The peacock clenched its wings with a struggling expression on its face.

"Then I wish you what you want." Ji Hui didn't want to continue discussing with him, so Ji Hui didn't reply to him anymore.

-

In Dongyi, in a deep cave, Weijia caught the spinning longbow and walked across the blood-soaked ground, but the head cut off by the bowstring could not get his attention.

And in the cave, a copper alchemy furnace that was still burning exuded a smell of meat with a fishy smell.

Inside are small hearts, which have been burnt in the pill furnace for an unknown amount of time, and they are almost scorched.

Weijia slapped the alchemy furnace with one palm.

There was a loud bang from the pill furnace, and it was torn apart.

After Weijia left, he felt a pain in his chest, which almost made him vomit blood.

The head he killed just now has changed its appearance. From the previous human head, it has become a variety of beasts, mostly jackals, snakes and rats, with a fishy smell.

"Monster clan, I will use Weijia to avenge this." Weijia clenched his longbow tightly.

……

At the same time, the peacock sleeping on the cabinet in Nanhuang sneezed, and then burrowed into Ji Hui's quilt aggrievedly, saying that he was so cold that he was caught by the wind.

Ji Huiyu approved him to go to bed.

Peacock quietly decided to soak in cold water every day, so he must catch a cold from time to time!
