Monkey and Feather

After a period of time, I concentrated on refining the elixir according to the book.

Only then did I realize what a boring job this was. No wonder the monster monkey didn't want to do it himself. What I said before was probably just making excuses.

And that monster monkey is also very obedient, it really doesn't bother me much, but it will come over quietly when the food is delivered, then walk up to me to look at the alchemy furnace, and then look at me with a silly smile.

Of course, all I got in exchange was my big white eyes.I'm a proud woman, I wouldn't talk to a heartless person.

I followed the instructions in the book, put in different materials at different times, and then adjusted the size of the fire.

It's actually not very complicated, because the stove is not the kind of stove we see on TV.Instead, it can automatically adjust the heat like a microwave oven.You don't need to use a fan to fan the fire, you just need some very subtle adjustments.

What makes me curious is this book. I read this broken book as a cartoon, because there are many illustrations on each elixir, for example: the powerful elixir, it will draw a giant and then hold a big mountain .Not to mention, the painting is really three-dimensional.

Gradually, I discovered that maybe this book is really what the monster monkey said, and it was deliberately disguised by the Taishang Laojun in order to confuse people.

Because one day when I was refining alchemy, the alchemy furnace suddenly emitted a strange fragrance. After I smelled that fragrance, I felt refreshed and full of energy.

Accompanied by the fragrance, there are clusters of colorful mist lingering above the alchemy furnace.If I remember correctly, this seems to be the harbinger before the success of the elixir.

Therefore, I became more focused and began to study this book seriously: How Pills Are Made.

"It's strange, why the last few pages of this book were torn off." I looked at the end of the book very puzzled, and said to myself.

The last kind of elixir is called: human elixir.However, there was only one page for the introduction of some materials, and the next few pages were torn out.

According to the classification of elixir in this book, the further back, the more precious and the higher the grade.

From this point of view, this human pill must be a very powerful medicine.

It should be that Taishang Laojun had expected that someone would steal his alchemy book, so he tore off the last and most powerful one.Alas, what a pity.

Just as I was thinking, the pill furnace suddenly shook violently, followed by bursts of "sizzling" sounds like water boiling, and the colorful mist and fragrance before became even more intense.

"It's done!? It's done!!" I was overjoyed and couldn't help but shouted.

Hearing my voice, the monster monkey rushed in, and was already very happy: "Haha! It's done?! I knew you could do it!"

The monster monkey jumped onto the stove, lay down on the air vent on the top, looked inside, and then excitedly shouted to me: "That's right! It's an elixir! You really did it!"

Then he jumped down and hugged me suddenly: "You are really my treasure!! Haha, now my strength can be greatly increased again!"

hehe~

"Hey, my friend, it's very impolite to hug someone casually, do you know that? And, I didn't say it, don't bother me." I pretended to be a dead fish face, and said lifelessly.

"This..." The monster monkey smiled awkwardly, then put me back on the ground, made a gesture of please: "Go on, go on..." Then shyly slipped out.

"Hmph~ deserve it! Smelly stone!" He said so, but his heart was warm.When he hugged him so tightly just now, I felt like my heart melted in an instant, like spring snow bathing in the morning sun.

...

In the following time, I succeeded many times and refined many different kinds of elixirs.Of course, there are more failures.

But even this is already very powerful, Yaohou said that I was the most talented alchemist she had ever seen, except for Ling, but I was scorned and rejected by me.

Slowly, I discovered that alchemy is really interesting.And after success, there is a sense of accomplishment, because after taking the elixir, the body can feel obvious changes.

And the monster monkey's use of this to improve its strength is also very effective, and it has become much stronger.

It's just that the last few pills are still too difficult for me. No matter how hard I try, they all end in failure, which makes me very annoyed.

The demon monkey held the elixir that had just been refined, and comforted him with joy: "Don't worry, the first ones have already helped us a lot, and the latter ones are for their bosses. big.

But refining is also extremely difficult.Even Laojun can’t guarantee success. You are too tired during this period, so let’s put it down and rest more. "

oops!This monkey knows how to care about people today, um~ yes, can this elixir change people's minds?

I was very happy in my heart, but pretended to ignore it: "You don't need to worry about me."

The monster monkey's expression froze, stared at me, and became very serious: "Uh...I will remember your help to me. My grandson is a person who knows how to repay kindness, and I will definitely repay you in the future. you~"

I curled my lips: "Huh~ Who cares for you to repay."

But I thought in my heart: Repay me?How can you repay me?You said you were responsible for me, but I didn't see how you were responsible. In your heart, maybe I'm not as good as your maid, right?

"My old grandson is a rough man who doesn't understand women's minds. If something makes you angry, please bear with me. If you are trapped in a cage for a long time, you will inevitably go crazy." The monster monkey said with an expression It became gloomy again.

I can't tell the taste in my heart. It is said that men should not guess what women think, but in fact women's thoughts are very simple, but they just don't tell the truth. After all, they are thin-skinned.

But I, a woman, can understand his thoughts, at least what he said now is sincere.

For such a long time, in a false world, living alone, constantly facing deceit, lies, betrayal, death, hope and then annihilation.I think a normal person would be crazy.

And he can still work hard and be persistent for that dream. What else can I not understand and tolerate him?

"I said, I will try my best to help you, don't say these things in the future, it's just...you said to be responsible to me, you..." I opened my mouth, the words that followed were swallowed in my stomach, and I didn't say it.

"Just what?" The monster monkey scratched its head in doubt.

"No...nothing"

"Oh~"

...a long silence.

The demon monkey might feel a little embarrassed, coughed twice and said, "Then go to bed early, if you're afraid of being alone, you can sleep with me underwater."

I ignored him, looked at the beating fire, and a thought came to my mind.To be precise, it is my knot in the past few days.

I turned my head and stared at him without blinking, and said lightly: "You said that the elixir will attract many demons and ghosts, right?"

"Hmm~" The monster monkey nodded seriously.

"Then are you worried about me, or about this elixir?" Only an idiot would ask this question, but that's how I asked it.

"Uh~? Isn't this the same? If you are gone, there will be no one to refine the elixir."

"Then if I don't know how to make alchemy, Ling and I can only choose one, which one will you choose?"

The demon monkey was taken aback when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect that I would ask him this. He grinned for a long time before saying, "This? Since I'm here, you two will be fine!"

"No! You have to choose one!" I was eager to know the answer as if I was in the late stage of madness.

The monster monkey looked at me with a sluggish expression, then suddenly changed back to the original monkey shape, and its face returned to the original gloomy face, and growled at me: "What do you want to ask!?"

I didn't feel scared, on the contrary, I felt more lost and sad in my heart.

I lowered my head and lowered my voice: "It's nothing, it's just my illness. Good night."

After finishing speaking, I turned and left directly.Leaving the monster monkey alone, dazed in a daze at the same spot...
