Chapter 148
The black and red falcon stood firmly on the beam of the ruined temple, its dark eyes fixed on the closed room.
The woman's charming panting and the man's heavy growl echoed in the room, and could be clearly heard by Chen Xuanling outside the room without any effort.
Chen Xuanling sat cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace with his eyes closed and brows relaxed, until he heard a low buzzing sound in his ears, and then he finally curled his lips into a faint smile.
At this moment, the door of the wing room was suddenly kicked open by Boss Jin from the inside. Covered in sweat, he did not even bother to put on clothes and ran to the alchemy furnace almost naked.
"Done?"
"..."
"I'm asking you, is it done?"
Chen Xuanling opened his eyes slightly and glanced at the open door of the wing room and the prostitute inside who was also naked and bloated.
"I'm really in a good mood. I can still think about those trivial things at this time!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you hadn't delayed my legs, would I have asked this kind of bastard to serve me? Damn it..."
As they were talking, the woman had already put on her clothes and walked out, twisting her waist, and stretched out her hand to ask for money. However, she didn't expect that Boss Jin was so cruel and ruthless that he punched her in the lower abdomen before the woman could even open her mouth.
The woman groaned and fell to the ground on her back, convulsing all over.
Chen Xuanling watched indifferently as Boss Jin searched out the purse of the woman lying in the blood and hurriedly put it into his own pocket. He frowned with disgust, unable to hide it.
Fortunately, my days of being associated with this filthy creature come to an end today.
The fire was burning brightly, turning from red to purple.
It gradually emitted a rare color in the world. Looking inside from the hole of the furnace, one could vaguely see a round golden bead floating up and down in the fire.
Only the last step is left.
On the other side, Wu Mingchen untied the medicine patch on his eyes under the instruction of Feng Zhihe, the pharmacist of the Phoenix.
Ever since I was ambushed last time, my vision has always been a little blurry. Fortunately, with the daily application of herbs prescribed by pharmacist He Zhifeng, I have almost recovered now.
"Young Master, today is my last day in Fenghuang, and it is also the last time I will make medicine for you."
"Why?"
Although Wu Mingchen was asking, when he saw He Zhifeng's slightly haggard face, he vaguely guessed the reason.
He Zhifeng is an old man of Fenghuang.
He is kind and modest, and rarely speaks. He is a childhood friend of Sect Leader Wu Huang, and is also half-master of Wu Mingchen.
He Zhifeng didn't reply much, but just chattered on with a lot of concerned words.
"Since you have made up your mind, then Chen'er will send you off respectfully. Please take care of yourself and don't work too hard."
"Hey..." He Zhifeng responded in a deep voice, his gentle eyes falling on Wu Mingchen's handsome profile.
The more he looked at him like this, the deeper the resentment and longing in He Zhifeng's heart became.
"Have you said goodbye to my father?"
"no need……"
In the end, the person he least wanted to see was Wu Tianxun.
After the autumn rain, winter has arrived.
In early winter, people go out to buy winter clothes and stuff. The vendors selling candied haws walk through the streets and alleys, playing long songs, attracting a group of drooling children who follow them with laughter.
In the peaceful atmosphere, only He Zhifeng was walking alone through the bustling crowd.
An elderly peddler saw the tall and strong He Zhifeng from afar.
"Hey? The old man is here again?"
He Zhifeng nodded, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and gently placed it in the bamboo basket on the stall.
"Oh, why are you paying so much today, old man? Don't worry!" The vendor took out a bunch of incense and candles and placed them in front of the stall, "They are all good. I will go there in person every year on the day of worship!"
"I've been there this time, and I don't need to go again in the future."
"Uh...are you going to pay your respects in person?"
He Zhifeng nodded again, but unlike before, this time he was smiling.
When we arrived at the dilapidated temple, it was already dark and the afterglow of the setting sun coated the temple with a layer of gold.
"Uncle, you are finally here."
In front of the alchemy furnace, Chen Xuanling, dressed in black, hurriedly stood up and went over.
Behind Chen Xuanling was Boss Jin, who had a look of astonishment on his face.
Boss Jin frowned and looked over. He Zhifeng had hardly changed since they first met, except for his graying hair and a few more wrinkles on his face. But his eyes and straight back made Boss Jin extremely disgusted.
cut……
What kind of literati spirit is this? He is just a useless scholar.
"Kid, why did you ask him to come here?" Boss Jin spat with disdain, "This piece of pie is not something that just anybody can share!"
Chen Xuanling respectfully helped He Zhifeng to the side, then said in a gentle voice: "Uncle, I do have good news to tell you today. The elixir of immortality has indeed been made, but you also know that to avenge her, I still need..."
He Zhifeng laughed.
He patted Chen Xuanling's hand, nodded with joy, and casually took out a bunch of bright red hawthorns with crystal sugar coating from his Qiankun bag and handed it to Chen Xuanling.
"Try it. The taste is the same as before. You still like it! I know you wouldn't think of buying it to eat on weekdays, so I brought it to you today."
Chen Xuanling was stunned for a moment, then curled the corners of his mouth and stretched out two fingers to take it.
"Uncle, are you really willing?"
"Of course, I have been waiting for this day for a long time. Good boy, you are worthy of being Wanying's child. You are as talented as your mother! With you in my family, there will be a day when we can avenge our hatred and wash away the humiliation and reach the top again!"
Seeing the two people being so intimate made Boss Jin, who was left aside, extremely unhappy.
He walked over angrily and grabbed He Zhifeng's collar embroidered with pine and bamboo with his left hand.
"Get out of here!" Boss Jin raised his right fist to hit him, but Chen Xuanling grabbed his wrist. Before he could turn around, he felt a sudden, piercing pain in his right leg!
Looking down, I saw a sharp knife.
Looking up along the back of the knife, he saw that the sharp knife stuck in his leg was actually held in the hand of Chen Xuanling.
"you……"
Boss Jin felt weak in his hands and couldn't help but loosen his left hand. This would be the biggest mistake he would make.
The moment Boss Jin let go of his hand, He Zhifeng suddenly pulled out a red-gold dagger from his arms. On it was inlaid a moonstone the size of a copper coin. The sharp blade made Boss Jin suddenly remember that year, that day, and that night.
The woman's clothes were torn, her hair was disheveled, and she was trapped in the corner of the bed by Boss Jin without any resistance.
He liked to play with his prey before devouring it, and enjoy the sight of a woman breaking down and crying out of embarrassment. But the woman he abducted from the river was different. Even though she knew she had no way to escape, she still clutched the dagger in her hand tightly and stabbed herself desperately.
Boss Jin has always been patient with women with backbone, until he was distracted for a moment and got stabbed in the neck with a dagger, and then he changed from teasing at the beginning to punching and kicking...
The blood gushed out instantly, and the sudden feeling of weightlessness brought Boss Jin back to his senses.
He Zhifeng's dagger pierced his stomach again and again. He wanted to struggle but Chen Xuanling held his right hand and right foot tightly...
Soon, he fell to the ground with blood foaming from his mouth. Seeing this, the two of them simultaneously turned away from him, as if they were throwing away an eyesore.
“Little, beast… I, cough, cough, cough, I…” Boss Jin tried hard to get up, but he could only move his heavy body on the ground like a reptile.
He Zhifeng wiped the blood off the dagger and whispered, "Wanying, I'm going to avenge you. Jin Chenghu, who killed you, is here! I finally got my revenge, I finally got my revenge..."
For many years, she endured it, pretending that she didn't care and wasn't sad, and watched Boss Jin, who took over her beloved, live a carefree life...
No one knew how much he hated, no one knew how much pain he was in.
“I… am… cough cough cough, it’s… you… your father!” Boss Jin’s eyes were bloodshot, but his voice softened inexplicably.
Chen Xuanling shook off the blood on his fingertips and wiped the blood spots on his face as if he didn't hear anything. He looked at the fear shown by Boss Jin with contempt as if he was looking at a stink bug.
"You, a beast, actually dared to... kill your father!!!"
"Patricide? Are you worthy of being my father?" Chen Xuanling stepped on Boss Jin's hand and crushed it hard.
"Speaking of which, you should really thank me and your uncle for keeping you alive for so long. Otherwise, you would have died on the night of the Longhu Mountain bandit suppression. How could you have the time to play with women here?"
What an ungrateful man!
He Zhifeng suddenly started coughing at this moment, which attracted Chen Xuanling's attention.
Chen Xuanling placed the candied haws in his hand, which was almost melted by the heat from the alchemy furnace, on the table beside him and gently patted He Zhifeng on the back.
"Uncle, you and Xuan Ling are of the same mind. You have done your best for mother. Mother always said that you are a caring person. She even called your name before she died..."
"Uncle, the time has come, we can start..."
He Zhifeng was immersed in the joy of revenge, his face was now covered with tears. He looked at the alchemy furnace with a blazing flame, stood up, and took action, dragging Boss Jin's ankle and moving forward step by step.
Boss Jin panicked instantly and scratched the ground desperately with his hands.
"You, what are you doing? Let me go! Let me go!"
The tacit silence between the two made Boss Jin completely intimidated. He opened the cauldron of the alchemy furnace, and the steam rising was terrifying. His angry roar instantly changed its tone. He begged desperately, and even used the father-son affection to pray that Chen Xuanling would be soft-hearted.
However, Boss Jin forgot that Chen Xuanling was raised by a woman who was driven crazy by him.
He also forgot that it was he who taught Chen Xuanling to be ruthless and disloyal.
"Uncle, Xuanling and mother will never forget your kindness!" Chen Xuanling lifted his clothes and knelt solemnly behind He Zhifeng.
“You beast! Your fate will be worse than mine! You will go to hell, you will not die a good death—”
Boss Jin's body quickly melted in the alchemy furnace. At the same time, the elixir of immortality began to tremble, as if it had consciousness, and began to absorb Boss Jin's essence, blood, bones and flesh.
He Zhifeng laughed so madly that he had already deceived the heavens. All that was left was to hide it from the earth.
"Good boy." He Zhifeng lowered his head, watching the flames surging up and wrapping around his fluttering clothes. Facing the blazing fire, he asked again, "Did your mother feel pain when she passed away?"
Chen Xuanling narrowed his eyes slightly, then answered in a deep voice.
"Uncle, my mother only hopes to see you again. Leaving with hope, I think it should not be painful..."
"Uncle...have a safe journey!"
Finally getting the answer, He Zhifeng's eyes gradually became firm.
"Okay, okay! Xuan Ling, remember! No matter what, you must take revenge!"
Almost without hesitation, he shouted the word "revenge" again, opened his arms, and jumped into the alchemy furnace.
The dilapidated temple immediately became quiet, as quiet as death.
Chen Xuanling slowly stood up and brushed the dust off his clothes.
"Ah……"
After pretending for so long, I’m really not used to it.
With the flesh and blood of his blood relatives, plus He Zhifeng who constantly lent his and his mother's lives to increase their lifespans, combined with a part of the demon spirit separated from the lizard demon as a guide.
By following my family's secret method and using the treasures of nature, you can create the supreme treasure that everyone in the world desires but cannot obtain, the real elixir of immortality.
Chen Xuanling stood up and saw the string of candied haws out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Uncle, you always like to reminisce about the past, which is something I never like."
He picked up the wooden stick and threw it out the door, fearing that the melted sweet sugar juice would get on his hands.
"I'm sorry, uncle."
"Mother, I never called your name."
"She didn't even think of you. Before I killed her, she only thought of herself. What a heartless and heartless woman."
I'm really sorry...
My good uncle!
