Nanfeng was injured and could not walk fast. There were more than ten miles outside the mountain. He was staggering like Nanfeng, and he was afraid that he would not be able to walk out until dawn.

In desperation, the two of them could only find a place to stay along the way, but there were no abandoned houses and temples in the mountains. They walked until the second update to find a shack where hunters and woodcutters rested. It was not the season for hunting and chopping wood. The shack was uninhabited and there was nothing inside.

The fat man came back after searching for dry firewood and set up a bonfire. At this time, the fire was not for heating, but mainly to smoke and roast wormwood and drive away mosquitoes.

For fear that the fire will expose its whereabouts and cause trouble, the two of them tried to use wet artemisia to suppress the fire in order to generate more smoke and less light.

There is a stream not far from the shack. The fat man brought the stream water back with a bamboo tube to quench his thirst with the south wind.

The stream was cool. After drinking the stream, Nanfeng became energetic. He took out the porcelain bottle from his arms, bit off the cork, and handed it to the fat man.

"I really don't want it." The fat man shook his head and refused to answer.

"Don't talk too much, this is what we have received. Even if we take it, we won't lose our backbone." Nan Feng poured him a pill.

The fat man knew that Nan Feng was angry with him, and did not refute. He laughed and took the pill, pinched it between his fingers and looked at it curiously, "Have you taken pills before?"

"Eat it." Nan Feng said.

"Isn't it the same as this?" the fat man asked.

Nanfeng shook his head, "The elixir I took is just an ordinary qi-enhancing pill, which is smaller than this one, and the color is different, and that one is light yellow."

"Why is this red?" The fat man was not sure of doubt.

"The Medicine King Cauldron is different from the ordinary elixir cauldron. The color of the elixir is the complexion, and the third-turn spiritual pill should be this color." Nan Feng reached out and took the bamboo tube, took the elixir in his hand with water, and handed the bamboo tube to the fat man. "It's not easy to get it, eat it earlier to avoid losing it."

The fat man took the bamboo tube, put the elixir into his mouth, and drank water to take it.

"Wait!" Nanfeng shouted anxiously.

Nanfeng shouted anxiously, and the fat man was startled. The saliva in his mouth almost spit out, barely stopped, swallowed it hard, stretched out his hand to stroke his chest, "What are you doing, you're shocked."

After saying that, I suddenly thought of something, "Is this pill poisonous?"

Nanfeng frowned and lowered his head, without answering.

"Why do you think you are doing?" the fat man asked.

Nanfeng still did not answer, but got up and walked to the bonfire, lifted the artemisia, blew the flames, and looked at his right hand in the light of the bonfire.

"Why is your hand red? Is it poisonous for the pill?" The fat man was very shocked and timid.

"No." Nanfeng leaned his right hand closer to his nose, inhale and smelled, and there was a faint smell of sulfur.

The fat man came over and said, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Nanfeng grabbed the fat man's right hand and looked at his thumb and two fingers, and he could also see a subtle red color.

"Is it poisonous? What are you touching your hands?" The fat man was very uneasy.

Nanfeng looked at the fat man with his head tilted his head, "It should be cinnabar. Cinnabar needs to be used for elixir refining. Cinnabar has the smell of sulfur, but the elixir has undergone dark fire and high temperatures, and the impurities are gone. There should be no cinnabar residue, and it should not fade."

"It must be a substitute. This old guy is so stingy. He doesn't even want to give us a good product." The fat man curled his lips.

Nanfeng did not respond. He vaguely felt something was strange, but he was confused for a moment.

"Isn't it really poisonous? If it's poisonous, it may still be vomited out now." The fat man looked at Nanfeng nervously. To be precise, Nanfeng's solemn expression made him very nervous.

"Try it and see if you can spit it out." Nan Feng said.

The fat man didn't understand why, thinking that Nanfeng was not sure whether the pill was poisonous, and he beat his chest and throat. He was very upset, but he just retching and couldn't spit out anything.

After many attempts, the fat man gave up, "It's over, I can't spit it out anymore. We haven't eaten for a day and our stomachs are empty. If we had eaten something before, we might be able to spit out."

"The pill is not poisonous." Nan Feng said.

"Ah?!" The fat man was so angry and glared, "What did you make me vomit if you don't poison?"

"I suspect that the two elixirs that Uncle Wang gave us were stained with cinnabar." Nan Feng said. Uncle Wang had been staying in the east room for a while before. The door was closed. Everyone thought he was taking the elixir from his hidden place, but no one knew what Uncle Wang did inside.

"It's really too much to deceive others. I'll give you a fake one. I really shouldn't have saved him, so I'll let him suffocate him to death." The fat man cursed in anger.

"Where do you want to go?" Nanfeng covered the artemisia on the bonfire again. "We may have blamed him wrongly. I suspect that the two pills we had taken before were more than three turns, but better pills."

"It's the first time I heard that the fat man suddenly thought of something, "Why did he be afraid that those people would jealous of our elixirs, so he used cinnabar to dye the elixirs red?"

Nan Feng nodded, "It is very likely that Yuan Anning once said something. In the early years, a military man from Liang State exchanged a cart for a seven-turn spiritual pill from Uncle Wang. This person was killed that night, and his stomach was broken, and he died extremely miserably."

The fat man suddenly realized, "A man is innocent, and He Shi Bi brings disaster."

Nan Feng was too lazy to correct the fat man's misunderstandings, and said, "Worrying to cause disaster for us may be just one of the reasons. Another reason is that if Uncle Wang gave us high-quality spiritual pills, he had to give the same pills for those warriors, otherwise they would be dissatisfied."

"If you are not afraid of nothingness, you are afraid of unevenness." The fat man nodded.

"It's not about being weak but not about being uneven." Nan Feng couldn't help but correct it, "If you don't understand literature, don't learn the official words of the scholar and the doctor. If you don't speak well, it will sound awkward."

The fat man was not angry after being criticized, and said, "Do you think we are really wronged by a good person?"

Nan Feng nodded, "Ninety percent possible, Uncle Wang should have deliberately put the elixir into the porcelain bottle from the main hall just to let everyone see the color of the elixir."

The fat man didn't ask again, but the expression on his face was still half-believing and half-doubting.

Seeing the fat man's expression, Nan Feng said again, "If you are careful, you can tell from Uncle Wang's words that he does not want to take revenge. Otherwise, he would not not tell those warriors that were Li Chaozong and Wang Zhong. He would not tell who did these people. He should have two intentions. One is to calm down and not want to make things worse. The other is that he does not want to embarrass those warriors. If they know that this matter was done by Li Chaozong, they will be in a dilemma. Go and help Uncle Wang avenge. They can't beat Li Chaozong. If they don't go, it's hard to explain to Uncle Wang."

"What do you think this has to do with us?" The fat man threw artemisia into the bonfire.

"I mean Uncle Wang is very calm and thoughtful. In order not to cause trouble for us, he is very likely to dye the two pills he gave us." Nan Feng said.

"If he was really so smart, we should be able to see that we were looking for the pills from the beginning. Our motives were not pure, so he wouldn't like us." said the fat man.

"You're right, he may really not like us." Nanfeng said this and pointed his hand north, "Do you still remember the couplet on the archway?"

"What couplet?" The fat man didn't look at the archway carefully.

"A couplet was engraved on the archway at the foot of Fengming Mountain: Easy to change and combine with the way of heaven, gain and loss correspond to yin and yang. This should be Uncle Wang's motto and his criterion for his actions. It is not difficult to see through this couplet that he has a profound understanding of human temperament and does not demand the purity of human hearts." Nan Feng said.

"What you mean is that he doesn't care what others think, he just depends on what others do?" The fat man seemed to understand.

"Yes." Nan Feng nodded seriously, "No matter why the other party did it, he just looked at whether the other party did it or not. Although we were selfish, we saved his life. He should reward us highly, so I suspect that the two pills he gave us were stained."

"If this is true, what kind of elixir do you think he gave us?" the fat man asked.

Nanfeng shook his head again, "It's hard to say, four or five should be more than the end. Six is ​​likely, and seven turns are also possible."

"Oh, I blame him for the mistake. Why don't we rush to leave? When the warriors leave, we will go back and accompany him. I will ask him what pill he gave us." The fat man's true nature, and he corrected his mistake.

Nanfeng leaned back, closed his eyes and prepared to rest, "No need, we exchanged the elixir, we have already cleared up two times. Besides, the elixir has been taken, and we will always know how many times it will turn."

The fat man did not insist on going back, threw the remaining firewood into the bonfire, and covered it with some artemisia.

"By the way." The fat man suddenly remembered something, "The King of Medicine took your pulse, did you tell me if he would find out..."

"No." Nanfeng interrupted the fat man's head. The meridians are the path of spiritual energy. The meridians are damaged and no one can detect the situation inside the dantian.
