Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Alchemy Furnace

Zhao Guai didn't expect that he could still wake up, and his condition didn't seem to be fatal. Before he had time to rejoice, he discovered something was wrong again.At this moment, he was already able to move his hands and feet. Almost subconsciously, he glanced around and found that he was no longer in the original place.The surroundings are like a huge cave, extremely empty, except for the rubble on the mountain wall without any decoration, there is nothing that can be seen, as if the whole world has disappeared, and only I am left here alone. What's going on, has he already entered the underworld?Where is this place in the underworld, why don't black and white impermanence and little ghosts come to collect them?He recalled something, and looking at his body again, he was still wearing that strange piece of clothing as a vest, and the redness all over his body caused by the poison of the nine-killed boa constrictor had faded and returned to normal. The Nine Lives cat anaconda also disappeared at this time, as if nothing happened before.

The more Zhao Guai thought about it, the more confused he became, and the more he felt that something was wrong. He simply followed the cave and carefully explored all around. Except for the countless side roads, there was nothing unusual. Could it be that the nine-life cat anaconda carried him unconscious on his back? to this place?What is that thing carrying itself here for? Just as he was wondering, suddenly a bright yellow-green light rose from the depths of the cave, instantly reflecting the surrounding mountain walls green.The place where the light comes from is filled with mysterious mist, which reduces the light a lot, otherwise the intensity of the light would be even greater.The mist lingered in the depths of the cave and could not dissipate for a long time. If it wasn't for the strange situation, Zhao Guai would really have thought that he had come to some kind of fairyland.

After a while, the mist lightened a little, and a dark shadow loomed in the mist.The shadow was very tall, standing there motionless, it looked like a statue, or a small lighthouse pagoda or something.At this time, for Zhao Guai, it must be strange that he was brought to this weird cave for no reason. Seeing such a situation now makes him feel extremely uncomfortable. Now even if there are ten more nine-life cat anacondas He also admitted that he killed him, he couldn't stand such a tossing and pastime. He got angry, and dared to touch into the mist with strange light, and slowly approached the black shadow...

When Wu Qi heard this, his whole heart was raised. He was terrified, and at the same time, a question caught his attention.Zhao Guai then emphasized that the black shadow was very similar to the pattern formed by the colony of ants they had seen before, which meant that the tattoo on Ghost Wu's body was likely to be that kind of thing.Realizing this, Wu Qi became even more anxious. "What the hell is that?" Wu Qi asked cautiously. Zhao Guai smiled lightly and said, "Xiao Wu, you will never guess what that thing is? Even when I was a few steps away from it, I didn't even think of it. I didn't know until I posted it and saw it. It turned out to be that kind of thing!" He winked at Wu Qi in a mysterious manner, lit another cigarette and continued.

Zhao Guai carefully approached the thing. The thing was perched on a stone platform and bound firmly by four iron chains. At first glance, it looked like a metal gourd. It is uneven, with many complex textured characters engraved on it.Zhao Guai walked around the thing a few times, but he couldn't understand anything except that it was made of copper. Along with the fear, he became more and more confused: No matter how he looked at the thing in front of him, it seemed that there was something inside of it. Something, as if it was specially locked inside with an iron chain to prevent it from coming out.Could it be the treasure gourd used by the legendary immortals to subdue monsters?Thinking of this, he even thought that Pingshu made a big fuss in Tiangong and kicked Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace.

At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly thought of something, and soon convinced himself of his judgment: That's right!Alchemy furnace!This gourd-shaped metal object looks like an ancient alchemy furnace! Zhao Guai was sure of his own judgment. He had come across many legends about the magical alchemy technique through hearsay.I also know that the general alchemists think that the choice of alchemy place should be in the famous mountains and rivers where there are few people and gods. Acupoints are really an excellent choice.Zhao Guai has done inverting and cultural relics for a living, and he has an impression of this kind of thing. From the appearance, although this one is much bigger, it is indeed the equipment used for alchemy in ancient times-the alchemy furnace!

How can there be such a thing here?And from the looks of it, this alchemy furnace seems to be still in operation. Could it be that I really entered the fairy mountain and met a god who was refining alchemy in the mountain?Although Zhao Guai said that he had fought against each other, he was also a person on the scene, although he hadn't read any books.However, he followed the trend of the time and received a lot of materialist education. Obviously, he himself could not believe such an idea. However, it was a fact that the large, sturdy metal hunchback was in front of him, and he was not dreaming, so he couldn't help but believe it.Although this thing is considered a treasure, but it is so big, it is useless if you can't take it back, and this place is full of ghosts, so you can't be bound by others to use it as a material for alchemy!Thinking of this creepy scene, he was a little apprehensive, and he didn't dare to stay for too long, so he was thinking about how to escape from this ghostly place.

At this moment, the four iron chains tied to the huge alchemy furnace suddenly shook twice, making a rattling sound. In the silent cave, the sound was extremely ethereal and sharp, and it undoubtedly pierced Zhao Guai like a needle. on the nerves.Almost at the same time, Zhao Guai turned his head and found a few more shadows on the iron chains in the thick fog! He didn't know whether those shadows had appeared before or just appeared, but he could see clearly that the shadows in the dense fog were not standing still, but slowly climbing along the iron chain, getting closer and closer to him. The closer you get, the swaying of the chains is what these things are climbing on.Seeing that it was a living creature, Zhao Guai immediately found a corner and hid, sticking out his head to carefully observe the opponent's every move.

After the few things got closer, the color also changed. The original black mass turned into a bright red. This should be its true color, but it was blocked by thick fog before and could not be seen clearly.Soon those things climbed to the top of the alchemy furnace, and Zhao Guai saw their faces clearly. Judging from their body shape, these things were in the shape of a human being. Their arms were unusually long, but their faces were so weird that they couldn't be seen at all. As far as the eyes and nose, there is only a big mouth that stretches to the ears. They are red all over, and even the teeth grow outside the mouth, as if the skin of the whole body has been peeled off.Zhao Guai couldn't tell what kind of things they were at the time, he only thought they were a special kind of monkey in the mountains.

The strange monkeys skillfully pried open the lid of the alchemy furnace, and after tossing around for a while, they took out a few pills that looked like peanuts.When Zhao Guai saw this, he knew that he had guessed correctly. This place was indeed a place for alchemy, and that kind of peanut pills was likely to be the final product.Just what are these strange monkeys?Could it be that such a complicated thing is made of these things?There are really all kinds of weird things these days, monkeys can make alchemy? Zhao Guai thought it was funny, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the monkeys had already restored the alchemy furnace and covered the top of the furnace, crawled back along the iron chains, and slowly disappeared into the thick fog.He secretly thanked himself for not letting these things find him.After those things were gone, Zhao Guai carefully returned to the alchemy furnace. At this moment, he had another idea.

Zhao Guai used to be a tomb robber, and there is a tradition that thieves don't leave empty space, so even under such circumstances, he couldn't restrain the throbbing and desire in his heart. Come back with a few pills, go back and study it carefully, maybe you will unintentionally make some major achievements, and promotion is very possible.Right now, as soon as this idea popped up, he almost didn't hesitate, and immediately climbed up along the copper pill furnace, implementing his plan. The walls of the alchemy furnace were very rough and protruding. He successfully climbed to the top of the alchemy furnace and reached out to lift the top cover, but he couldn't open it no matter what.After taking a closer look, he found that the top cover of the alchemy furnace was not simply snapped on, but a rotating combination lock, which was divided into two layers and densely carved with dozens of ancient characters. Zhao Guai knew it very well. If you can't match the password of the double layer, it is impossible to open the lid of the alchemy furnace. Suffering this blow, his morale was immediately slumped, and he was extremely depressed, but he had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky, so he gave up immediately, turned around and was about to jump off the alchemy stove.At this moment, he suddenly felt a tight arm, and something grabbed him violently.Zhao Guai was shocked, the sweat oozed from his forehead, and when he turned his head, he saw a strange blood-red face the size of a porcelain plate standing in front of his eyes. It reached Zhao Guai's forehead. Zhao Guai was startled and screamed, the soles of his feet slipped, and he fell off the top of the alchemy stove in a daze. Fortunately, the alchemy stove was not high, so the fall was not serious at the moment.But the strange red monkey didn't relax at all, and fell down with the arms that tightly clung to him. He still held on to the ground, but squeezed even tighter, like a policeman catching a prisoner, and quickly leaned on Zhao Guai with his backhand. The strength of the red strange monkey was astonishing. This time, Zhao Guai was almost twisted and his arm was broken, and he couldn't help crying out in pain.After struggling for a few moments, he felt the back of his head tighten again. A big hand grabbed the hair on the back of his head and pulled his head violently. The face was fixed on him as if on prey.Seeing that the struggle was of no avail, Zhao Guai could only admit defeat. He looked at the strange faces in horror, and his whole body was soaked in cold sweat in an instant.This time it is completely over, it is likely to be disemboweled, hearted and liver taken out by these strange things, or even worse, it will be directly stuffed into the alchemy furnace and steamed! Zhao Guai was so desperate that he simply closed his eyes and waited for death, but after waiting for a long time, he couldn't wait for that moment to come. When he opened his eyes, he saw those strange faces still staring at him coldly, without any expression, and he didn't know what was going on. What are you going to do.The more this happened, the more Zhao Guai panicked. He was already a pig on the chopping board, and he let him slaughter him, but he just wanted to have a good time. Judging from the cold expressions of these strange things, it seemed that he was still playing tricks. What kind of scary ghost tricks. Suddenly, Zhao Guai felt his mouth tighten, and a big hand forcibly pulled his mouth open. Before Zhao Guai understood what was going on, he felt something was stuffed into his mouth. He subconsciously spat it out, but his mouth was squeezed It was firmly blocked and closed, and the next one accidentally swallowed it in a daze.Although Zhao Guai knew something was wrong, it was already too late, the strange monkeys let him go, avoided him like a god of plague, and scattered away. Speaking of this, Zhao Guai paused again, and took out another cigarette trembling all over. He was trembling so badly that he lit it several times before he lit it, and took several puffs after lighting it.Wu Qi realized something when he heard this, and asked with certainty: "Those monkeys made you swallow the pills they took out from the alchemy furnace before! They actually forced you to swallow that!" Wu Qi said At the end, I also felt unbelievable, and when I saw this person in front of me again, I always felt an unusual weirdness coming out of this person.
