Chapter 403 Humanoid Self-Propelled Steam Engine

In the small courtyard covered with vines, the sun could not be seen even in the daytime.

Mo Lin stood in front of the array pattern, leaning on his sword and staff, "It's the sixth day."

The person who was helping to prepare the herbs behind him stood up and looked at the sky, "It's getting dark, they should be back soon."

Granny Ma sat aside, looking at those strange herbs, and then looked at Xia Tianwu. This person was extremely talented, so it would be fine to teach her some medical skills, but it would be a waste to teach Lin Du.

She looked at the array pattern that was still lit.

One day, this array pattern will be extinguished, the gates of hell will close, and several people will not be able to come back.

She retracted her gaze, "You guys don't talk so much normally?"

Xia Tianwu was a little surprised, "Don't you like quietness?"

Granny Ma turned her head, "I thought there was no one in the Supreme Sect who didn't quarrel."

Xia Tianwu realized something and suddenly laughed.

Mo Lin explained, "Tian Wu likes quietness. I talk a lot, but I'm a straight-forward person who always says the wrong thing, so I won't talk."

It doesn't matter in front of acquaintances, but Granny Ma still holds the lives of his fellow uncles and junior brothers in her hands, so how dare he say anything nonsense.

The three people in the yard were inexplicably tense. Just when the atmosphere was sinking again, taking advantage of the last ray of light, a few floating paper figures suddenly emerged from the formation. Their souls haven't returned yet, but their voices have become louder.

"Hey, what do you think? I told you that we definitely won't wait until the last day to come back!" An arrogant voice broke the silence. "

Hey, I finally saw the light. I was so scared that the ink was all over my body. I finally brought the pens and ink with me."

"What do you mean finally? Those are the pens and ink that I worked so hard to cut out! Do you know what ghost talismans mean by sending gifts? Thank your father

now." "My father is still alive." The little paper man rushed up and gave the paper man next to him a dot of ink. In an instant, both of them looked like they were just taken out of the inkpot.

"That's enough." Lin Du's voice rang out, and he walked forward with his arms and legs stretched out. "If you don't return to your positions, do you want to disperse? I'll send you to hell again?"

A group of little people ran towards their bodies in panic. Two black little people rolled and crawled, and the moment they escaped, they regained their whiteness.

The four people finally returned to their own bodies.

"I didn't dare to look back. The evil spirits along the way saw us breaking through the ghost gate like hungry tigers. They knew we were people from the upper level and wanted to drag us down." Yuan Ye covered his chest, still frightened.

"I almost couldn't get up." Yan Qing was not much better. As soon as

Ni Jinxuan's ghost returned to its place, she turned around and looked at her senior brother excitedly, "Senior brother, it's a pity that you didn't see it. The sword of the fourth uncle just now was super powerful! It was more powerful than the first sword you drew!"

They were safe all the way back from the Styx until the Ghost Gate. However, when a few people wanted to enter the Ghost Gate, a group of evil ghosts came out from nowhere. After discovering that they were living souls, they all rushed up, which was only slightly better than the group of ghosts in the Styx.

If they continued to struggle, they would definitely not be able to get out of the Ghost Gate.

It was at that time that they truly witnessed the sword intent of a cultivator in the Wuxiang realm.

Even if there were only ghosts, that sword, like a long rainbow piercing the sun, swept across with a cold murderous intent to pacify the surrounding resentful ghosts and greedy ghosts, looking down at the group of evil ghosts equally, and the sword energy was rampant and lingering.

And Lin Du also opened the hidden door smoothly under the cover of Hou Cang, and called a few people to go out of the ghost gate together.

Ordinary formation masters can naturally arrange the ghost gate formation, but once the ghost gate is opened, there will naturally be evil ghosts taking the opportunity to cause trouble, sneak into the ghost gate formation, and intend to return to the human world.

Mo Lin and Xia Tianwu stayed outside for this reason.

But they didn't expect that Lin Du's ghost gate formation was not an ordinary ghost gate formation, but had a hidden door, and ordinary ghosts would naturally not find it if they looked from the inside.

The few who followed Lin Du to the underworld did not notice, but the three outside saw it clearly.

No ghost came out, because no ghost found Lin Du's hidden door.

"If you were not a junior, I'm afraid the number one genius in Zhongzhou swordsmanship would not be saved." Ni Jinxuan continued to chatter.

Hou Cang had just returned to his body. When he heard this, his face froze and he turned his head away. He was not used to such a topic.

"What's the big deal? There have been many famous swordsmen since ancient times. Today it's me, tomorrow it's you. You are the swordsman of our Supreme Sect, so isn't it normal for you to be the number one genius?" Mo Lin replied subconsciously, "Not to mention that you are the fourth uncle, that's even more normal."

Hearing this, Granny Ma turned around and glanced at Mo Lin. How could this be a straight-forward person who can't speak? Isn't he quite good at speaking?

Lin Du handed the unmelted Styx water to Granny Ma.

Granny Ma lowered her head and looked at it for a while, "Is this the Styx water?"

"Absolutely true." Lin Du replied.

Granny Ma took it and her hands were sticky from the frozen cup. She was silent for a moment, then calmly transferred the Styx water to her own bottle and shattered the ice cup in her hand with her Yin Qi.

"Remember to take care of your body after going to the underworld. I taught Xia Yatou to make a batch of pills."

"Your pills are the most troublesome. You need to add a lot of slow-release auxiliary materials. They are a little bigger than others. She said she wanted to make them alone and considered them for several days."

Granny Ma said lightly, and stood up to go into the house. She accidentally saw the scene in front of her and was stunned for a moment. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Those who just came out of the underworld had been stuffed with a pill. As the sun set, four people stood in a row, steaming in a familiar way.

Hou Cang first looked at the smoke curling above the heads of the two boys next to him and pondered for a while, then raised his hand and touched his head, and he became even stiffer.

He looked at the second nephew, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and tried to use his spiritual power to make wind to blow it away, but failed, and instead turned into a human-shaped self-propelled steam engine.

Lin Du laughed out loud, and finally stood in a row with the three grinning children with a sullen face, acting as a static kettle of boiling water.

Ni Jinxuan and Xia Tian had no good relationship, so she yelled directly, "Senior Sister! Are you too angry when refining the pill again?"

Xia Tian apologized sincerely, "Not this time. This time I did it on purpose. The Yin energy lingering in the underworld for seven days is extremely heavy, so I have to strengthen you."

Lin Du took the pill under the eager gaze of the group. Except that it was a little difficult when swallowing, there was no effect after swallowing and using spiritual power to dissolve the medicinal power. He still looked calm and self-controlled.

Hou Cang's mentality collapsed, "Why is she not steaming!"

Xia Tianwu was about to explain, but Lin Du had already spoken, "Because I am a more stable and introverted person."

Hou Cang: ...? What does this matter!

He stared at her with angry eyes, and finally made Lin Du laugh out loud again. The person who was like a banished immortal before could only silently steam, and under the setting sun, he became a mushroom in the corner.

Lin Du smiled and turned around, stroking the extra ring on his finger, and suddenly heard several people discussing the next itinerary.

"I may have to stay here for a while. Granny Ma wants to pass on some unconventional medical skills and pharmacology to me."

Mo Lin hesitated, "I stay to accompany you? And guard here at the same time. I'm afraid there will be more evil demons here in the future, so it's my responsibility to stay here."

Anyway, they are at the level and age where they need to gain experience outside, so it's no big deal if they don't return to the sect.

Xia Tian was noncommittal, but Yan Qing remembered one thing, "Junior Uncle, how did you know at a glance that it was the Ghost Emperor's?"

"Because there were evil ghosts following her all the way, but when she appeared, all the evil ghosts around turned around and ran away. Logically, she should be a stronger evil ghost than them."

"It is obviously an evil ghost, but there is no ghost aura on her. She is closer to the Heavenly Dao."

Lin Du smiled, "Except for the Ghost Emperor, I can't think of anyone else."

Lin Du said, vaguely feeling that Yan Qing was definitely not asking such a simple question. She stroked the ring on her index finger with one hand, listening to their sighs.

"What did you say to the Ghost Emperor at that time... reincarnation?"

Lin Du pressed the ring, his face not showing, calm and composed, "I don't reincarnate, I ascend, it makes sense."

Yan Qing was suspicious, "But the heavenly way will also reincarnate, when the blessings are exhausted, they will return to reincarnation with karma, but compared with mortal cultivators, the reincarnation time is too long, just think there is no reincarnation."

Lin Du nodded, "You also said that compared with mortal cultivators, that's what it says."

Yan Qing didn't believe it, but Lin Du was too calm, Ni Jinxuan didn't believe it either, but the junior uncle said that to see if a person is lying, you have to see if she dares to look directly at you, touch her nose, blink her eyes, or make any small movements with her hands.

Lin Du looked too normal, and people couldn't see any flaws.

"Don't look at me like that. My belief is that people only live once." Lin Du smiled and patted Jin Xuan, who looked worried and confused. "I won't be able to know you guys in my next life. Cherish the people in front of you."

Ni Jin Xuan was convinced. It sounded reasonable.

"Then where are we going next? The senior brothers and the second senior sisters are together, so let's join them!" Yuan Ye noticed something and took the initiative to change the subject.

Lin Du sighed. Yuan Ye is really smart.

A group of children gathered together, and Hou Cang walked up to Lin Du and said, "I heard it."

Lin Du froze, and heard Hou Cang continue to speak, "Their cultivation is not enough, but I heard it."

"Give up reincarnation, imprison yourself in the Dongming Realm, and steal a thread from the sky?"

Hou Cang stood in front of Lin Du, the white smoke above his head had not dissipated yet, he lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Du, "Also, the person who gave up reincarnation, the body is actually in the Styx, what does that mean?"

His brows were gloomy, and when he looked down from a high position, he also had a heavy sense of oppression.

Lin Du had already thought of a solution, "This is a long story. I feel a little overloaded. I found a medicinal herb in the Styx. Now I have to go into seclusion to refine it. Granny Ma, please give me an empty room in your house."

When you are in doubt, go into seclusion to solve the problem.

She raised her foot to leave, then used her footwork to block Lin Du's way.

Lin Du exclaimed, "Training me again! You've lost to me twice in footwork."

As she spoke, she used her footwork in the same way, swayed her footwork, turned around and flew into the sky, turned around and landed steadily behind the courtyard, and found the small room where she used to live. She took out a broken wooden sign from a corner that said "Do Not Disturb in Seclusion" and hung it up, and then deployed the troops neatly.

Hou Cang chased to the room in the backyard, furious, "Lin Du! Every time you win against me, it's because you cheat! Be careful or I'll tell my master!"

"Your master, your master, your master won't blame me, she will only comfort me!"

Hou Cang: ...That's true.

"I'll tell your master!"

"Can you enter Luoze?"

Hou Cang: ...So angry, he really can't get in, Yan Ye has never looked at him straight in the eye.

Although Yan Ye has never "looked" at anyone straight in the eye.

After Lin Du dealt with Hou Cang, he turned around and got on the bed.

She was not really wrong, she did need some medicine, otherwise she might not last long.

The dead will be reincarnated seven years after death, and will begin to reincarnate one after another after seven years, and finally reach the peak of spiritual practice within five hundred years.

She had been in seclusion for three years to digest the natural treasures that were arranged for her to repair her heart before.

Lin Du used her spiritual consciousness to open the storage ring. There were no spiritual stones in it, only medicine, and besides medicine, there was spiritual liquid.

She vaguely knew that the spiritual liquid was probably from Wei Zhi, and when he was not using it, he stuffed it in with a few bottles of pills.

Lin Du suddenly remembered the scene of eating pills on the first day she came to the world of cultivation.

She rolled her eyes because she was choked by a pill that day, but she had seen the pills in Du Shao and Su Mu's hands. The size of the pills was not the size that ordinary people would choke on.

Xia Tianwu and Jiang Liang were the only ones in the world who would add auxiliary materials to their own pills to slow down the release of the medicinal power. Ordinary alchemists would choose to use a small dose, because the auxiliary materials for slow release could not be accurately controlled, and the dosage might not be controlled.

But only they were skilled and bold, and were more willing to delve into it, and would choose this method, just to reduce the number of times Lin Du forgot to take the medicine.

But the pills clearly had no trace of the strange fire. Jiang Liang...

was it the fifth senior brother?

The fifth senior brother did not seem like someone who would agree with her plan.

Xia Tianwu At that time...

Lin Du held the hands of some scattered pills in there, and carefully sorted out the fragments of memory.

In front of the courtyard, the three children faced each other, and Hou Cang's face seemed more vivid than before.

"Fourth Uncle, Junior Uncle, and the senior brothers and sisters are all staying here. Can we still go? There should be a lot of evil demons at that border, right?" Ni Jinxuan was pushed out by two people. With an obedient image that no elder would refuse, she whispered, "Can the three of us go first?"

Hou Cang looked at the two big guys behind the junior nephew and suddenly felt that the next generation of the Supreme Sect was going to be finished.

Two grown men still have to rely on a little girl to hold up the sky?

"I'll go with you." He coughed lightly, "Going to the border and eliminating demons is our original purpose. Don't worry about the three of them."

These three were not very reliable. His sense of responsibility, which had not existed for hundreds of years, suddenly began to grow wildly, and he felt the heavy worry of the elders.

Elsewhere, Xia Tianwu looked at those pill recipes, "Do you have any recipes for alchemists here?"

"Yes, some alchemists have asked me for the solution to the snake poison before. Because they were unable to kill people, they left many pill recipes they used to treat the sequelae of the Mibu snake poison for exchange. I don't make pills, and my body can't make pills. These are useless to me, but they can be used by you alchemists."

"Since I chose to teach you, it was because I read the booklet you wrote. You are good at writing books. In the future, after you write down this secret recipe of the snake doctor, it will be easier for you to pass it down."

Xia Tianwu took the pill recipe and saw several pill recipes that he had not been able to learn from his master among the pill recipes, "Ningbi Pill? Shengyuan Huanxin Pill? Jinwu Xuanyuan Pill? Shensi Yuanzhi Pill?"

"You said that most of the venom is in the heart and the spirit palace. No wonder there are so many recipes for delaying heart failure and replenishing consciousness. After the venom is removed, the essence is indeed easy to be damaged. This recipe for replenishing the essence is also very useful."

Xia Tianwu realized it, raised his eyes, his eyebrows were sincere, and he said crisply, "Thank you, Granny Ma, these are all very useful."
