29. Alchemy

Chu Yunqing returned to Ai Xiaozhou's home, opened the door and went in, boiled water, then took a hot bath, wiped it clean, and changed into clean clothes.

Then he had nothing to do, sitting in the yard, watching the dark clouds in the sky disperse, the north wind was biting, and there was a chill everywhere.

Chu Yunqing suddenly felt a sense of loneliness, not the kind of being a stranger in a foreign place, but the loneliness of not knowing what to do in the future.

In other words, it is confused and at a loss.

This mood lasted until dark, and he sat in a daze all day.

There was a sound at the courtyard door, and Ai Xiaozhou came in carrying large and small bags of cooked food and snacks. He was startled when he saw Chu Yunqing sitting on the corridor under the eaves.

"Oh," she exclaimed, "Why are you sitting here so silently?"

Chu Yunqing raised his head and looked at her, his tone a little hoarse, "I've been sitting here all day."

"What's wrong with you?" Ai Xiaozhou closed the door with his foot and ran over quickly.

She had already changed out of her Feiyu suit, which was a jade-colored long skirt, clean and simple.

Chu Yunqing said: "Yan Changyu is gone."

Ai Xiaozhou didn't react for a moment, "What do you mean, gone?"

Chu Yunqing pushed the cloth bag at his hand, and after unfolding it, there were sword pieces inside.

Ai Xiaozhou opened his mouth and suddenly understood, "He is dead?"

Chu Yunqing nodded, "He died, he died so suddenly."

Ai Xiaozhou walked over and gently held his head.

She could feel the other person's sadness, and she didn't have to ask.

"I don't know what to do." Chu Yunqing said.

"You still have me." Ai Xiaozhou said, "You still have Chu Huanyu, and you still have to ask Mingyan about the truth about Hongran. You still have a lot of delicious and fun things that you haven't tried. You still have a great life in the future. You

How come you don’t know what to do?”

Chu Yunqing took a deep breath.

Ai Xiaozhou felt a little itchy and her ears were red.

"How about we eat first?" she said, "I even bought some good wine, so we can have a drink."

When Chu Yunqing heard the word "wine", he suddenly remembered the Immortal Residence that Yan Changyu had mentioned and the southern border he had mentioned.

He came out of Ai Xiaozhou's arms and said: "Tomorrow I want to go to Gu He first. After asking him clearly, I will go to southern Xinjiang."

"Southern Xinjiang?" Ai Xiaozhou was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Hundreds of years have passed, and Yan Changyu's old friends have long since disappeared. The ones that exist now are people who are looking for Yan Changyu's inheritance. You are not familiar with this place.

Yes, if you go and ask about Yan Changyu, you will definitely make people covet you."

"I have my own sense of proportion." Chu Yunqing said: "No matter what the outcome of this matter is, if it is not resolved, it will always be a concern in my heart."

"Then don't rush it for a while." Ai Xiaozhou advised: "We might as well think about it in the long term."

"Okay." Chu Yunqing nodded, "This matter in the capital will eventually be resolved."

Ai Xiaozhou sighed in his heart, this guy has to do what he is determined to do, it really doesn't make people worry.



Ai Xiaozhou bought a lot of food and set a small table full of food.

She also poured wine for Chu Yunqing.

"I wonder if buying this kind of food will be enough for Gang Leader Chu?" she said with a smile.

Chu Yunqing also smiled, "Just barely enough."

"Smelly poor." Ai Xiaozhou rolled his eyes at him, then raised his glass, "Let's go."

"Okay." Chu Yunqing drank it all in one gulp.

"You have a good drinker. This is a strong drink from the northern grasslands." Ai Xiaozhou poured him another glass.

Chu Yunqing smacked his lips. Although he was a martial arts practitioner, he was not good at drinking. The drink he just drank was like swallowing a ball of fire. His throat and stomach hurt, and his whole body felt warm.

Got up.

He hurriedly took two bites of food, and his whole body suddenly felt warm.

"This wine is really good." Chu Yunqing said.

"Nonsense, ten taels of silver per jar, of course not bad." Ai Xiaozhou curled his lips.

When Chu Yunqing heard this, he also clicked his tongue. He always felt that the difference between this wine and water was not big, but the price was really outrageous. For ten taels of silver, it was really not something ordinary people could afford.

With his wealth, he can't afford to drink.

"By the way, have you asked Miss Gu?" Chu Yunqing asked.

Ai Xiaozhou clinked glasses with him and said, "Drink first."

Chu Yunqing did it again.

Ai Xiaozhou said: "Asked."

"What did she say?" Chu Yunqing asked quickly.

Previously, they came to Gu Meishu to ask whether Yan Hongran could survive if he was painted into a talisman by Gu He. However, Chu Yunqing didn't have the nerve to ask, so he asked Ai Xiaozhou to ask for help.

At this time, seeing that Chu Yunqing was so anxious, Ai Xiaozhou did not show off and said directly: "She said she didn't know either."

Chu Yunqing was confused at that time.

His mood was indescribably complicated, a little embarrassed, a little angry, and a little lost.

"Why, why don't you know?" Chu Yunqing muttered to himself and drank a drink.

Ai Xiaozhou filled it for him and said: "After all, she didn't see it with her own eyes. She doesn't know what kind of talisman Gu He drew, so she can't estimate it. Besides, you can't be sure whether Yan Hongran was born or not before drawing the talisman.

Die."

Chu Yunqing finished the wine and said, "It seems that I have to ask Gu He in person tomorrow!"

"Gu He is not in Qintian Prison." Ai Xiaozhou said, "I asked you carefully before. She is now in the palace and serves as the attendant of Danlu."

"Attendant of the alchemy furnace?" Chu Yunqing was a little confused, "Could it be the boy watching the alchemy furnace?"

Ai Xiaozhou explained: "Your Majesty refines the elixir of immortality. There is an alchemy furnace set up in the palace that has been burning for several years. Master Cen is there day and night. What the servants of this elixir furnace have to do is follow Cen's instructions.

Master's request, the arrangement and dispatch of materials for refining medicine, etc., can only be undertaken by trustworthy people."

"Isn't that just a handyman who does dirty work?" Chu Yunqing said.

"Do you think anyone can take the responsibility?" Ai Xiaozhou rolled his eyes at him, "That's Mr. Cen, a land god. Being able to stay by his side, not to mention giving casual advice, but just watching his demeanor all day long, is very helpful.

benefit."

"So mysterious?" Chu Yunqing asked.

"Isn't the matter of the alchemist so mysterious?" Ai Xiaozhou smiled, obviously it was just a casual conversation, believe it or not.

"Are you trying to say that it would be difficult for me to meet Gu He?" Chu Yunqing asked.

Gu He is now the attendant of the alchemy furnace, so he must always be near the alchemy furnace. How important is the alchemy furnace? With Chu Yunqing's identity, it is difficult to enter even the palace, let alone the alchemy place.

Moreover, the person who made the alchemy was Master Cen, who was known as the Immortal of the Land and the best alchemist in the world. With such a person beside him, Chu Yunqing, who originally wanted to question him, was really frightened.

But it certainly cannot be given up.

"Gu He won't come out?" Chu Yunqing asked.

"She has been in the palace since she came back from Taiyuan Prefecture anyway," Ai Xiaozhou said.

Chu Yunqing drank the wine and said with a hard expression, "Then I'll have to be tough!"
