Chapter 12 Good Flowers Bloom

There are quite a lot of things in the treasure bag, most of which are copper products: bronze mirrors, copper bells, copper seals, copper daggers, copper coins, copper gourds, as well as several elixirs and seven or eight animal organs, including the newly peeled snake scale. The most peculiar one by one is half a copper ring. I don’t know what it is for, but the young officer commented one by one, just hesitating at it.

These magic weapons that were once powerful in Li Yuechi's hands were useless in the hands of the young men. The sound of the copper bell seemed monotonous and boring, without any breathtaking effect. Even the treasure bag itself was the same, and the things taken out from it could no longer be filled.

Xiaoqiu still distributed it the same way. Snake scales and other objects are said to be demon pills, which are very useful, but no one wants it. Xiaoqiu left it herself and gave it to Erliang. Fangfang didn't want anything. She left the extinguished oil lamp and was quite interested in it.

Coincidentally, there were ten copper coins in the bag, which were just given to ten people. Xiaoqiu even gave one to the officer, "You will have one."

The officer was surprised and took the copper coins and muttered in a low voice: "What a poor mage."

"If you don't want it, hand it over." Ersun stretched out his hand.

Since being beaten, the officer was very afraid of Ershuan and hurriedly avoided it and held the copper coins tightly in his hand.

The fun of "sharing the spoils" quickly disappeared. There was no food in the treasure bag, and the teenagers were still hungry. At the same time, there was another thing in everyone's heart, which made them uneasy. Even the most greedy Erliang just kept rubbing his belly and didn't complain about the food.

"Is the bald man really dead?" Ershuan felt unbelievable, "Why do we explain to his parents?"

No one answered that this was exactly what they were most worried about. Xiaoqiu didn't say anything, and he didn't even dare to say that he had ever held the bald man's head. He didn't feel anything special at that time, but now he was creepy, as if the bald man's death was all his mistake.

The team stretched sparsely, Ershuan caught up with Xiaoqiu and Fangfang and whispered: "No matter what others think, I want to go to Pangshan with you."

"Okay." Xiaoqiu said not very enthusiastically. He understood Ershuan's thoughts. The second young master of the Shen family could not explain the death of bald man, so he would rather go away.

The journey back to the town was longer than expected. When we arrived at Feng Grandma's residence, it was already completely dark. The officer refused to go forward no matter what. "Xuanfu Army received an order not to walk around Yelin Town after it was dark."

"No, Yelin Town is the safest..." Ershuan immediately refuted, but he was not very confident. The sudden appearance of snake demons and demon species indicates that Yelin Town is not as safe as before.

The teenagers walked for a day and were already tired, so they accepted the officer's advice and followed Xiaoqiu and Fangfang into the yard, hoping to take a little rest.

The three thatched houses and the wood erected in the middle of the yard are still there, only Grandma Feng is missing.

Fangfang searched inside and out, but found nothing, "There are everything." She covered her mouth with one hand, her face full of surprise, "Grandma Feng doesn't know where she has gone."

The boys couldn't care so much, they had already walked into the house to find a place to sit down, and were even happy that the old crazy woman was not there. Er Shuan suggested a possibility, "Has it been swallowed by the snake demon? The place where the big snake appeared was not too far away from here."

"No." Fangfang immediately denied, "Nothing has been moved..."

"Maybe Grandma Feng met a snake demon when she went out, so she didn't move anything at home." Xiao Qiu guessed, and found Fangfang's tears flowing out, and changed her mouth: "It may also be that she hasn't come back to the town yet."

A cheer came from outside, and Erliang ran in with a pot of porridge, "It's still warm."

The teenagers all jumped up and looked for bowls and chopsticks everywhere. Fangfang breathed a sigh of relief, "The porridge is warm, which means that Grandma Feng was still there not long ago, and the snake demon died last night..."

"Do you still remember? A small green light escaped." Erliang was eating porridge while talking, "Grandma Feng might have been attacked by the demon seed..." Erliang took a little thought to remember the word "invasion".

Fangfang shook her head hard, not believing that Grandma Feng would be killed, "Grandma Feng is a good person, and she is not nearby."

Erliang ummed twice and concentrated on eating porridge. There was not much food, so he had to eat it quickly.

Except for Fangfang, no one cares where Grandma Feng went. They scrambled around for food, picked vegetables from the vegetable garden behind, and when everyone finally filled their stomachs, the quiet courtyard completely changed.

The oil lamp left by Li Yuechi was lit up by itself. Fangfang carried it around the front and back of the house, but still found Grandma Feng's footprints. She had to give up searching and put the oil lamp on the top of the wood in the middle of the yard after she came back, which made her feel at ease.

It was already dark and no one wanted to walk on the night road. The boys found a place to lie down and sleep. Ersun didn't want to go home immediately. The closer he was to Yelin Town, the more timid he became. He didn't know how to explain to his bald parents.

Xiaoqiu was sleeping at the door and soon fell asleep: Li Yuechi, the monk Pangshan Five Elements, was talking to him, unable to hear what he said clearly, looking like an admonition or a warning, but Xiaoqiu had only one thought. He wanted to say that he also wanted to learn to kill demons and eliminate demons, and he would be more careful and never let the demon seeds get closer.

Xiaoqiu was awakened by the heat.

The heat does not come from midsummer nights, but is produced in the chest and spreads throughout the body.

Xiao Lai gently rubbed his chest and felt something blocked in his esophagus. Then he remembered that he had swallowed an inner alchemy, but he didn't think that this thing would choke at that time.

The burning sensation became stronger and stronger. Xiaoqiu could no longer sleep, so he simply got up, put on a straw hat, and walked out of the room.

The yard was bright, and the oil lamps left by Fangfang outside were amazingly lit, illuminating every grass and tree nearby clearly. Among the many treasures left by Li Yuechi, only it is still working.

Xiaoqiu thought to himself that he was not afraid at all. He circled around the oil lamp, but his chest still felt hot, so he continued to walk outside. Every time he took a step, it seemed to be a little cooler.

He pushed open the simple wood door and stood by the roadside and looked left and right. The light of the oil lamp became weaker here. The official road extended to both sides into darkness. The whole world seemed to be only so big. Finally, his eyes focused on the opposite side of the road.

There was something flashing in the grass, much weaker than the light emitted by the oil lamp, but it was a hint of coolness.

Xiaoqiu felt an impulse, as if after a day of hard grazing, he could finally jump into the river to take a shower. His chest became hotter and hotter, and the cold light across the road attracted him.

At the same time, there was an inexplicable fear to stop Xiaoqiu from moving forward. He remembered the green light he had seen by the river, the demon seed that killed Li Yuechi, and the reminder of the Five Elements Mage before his death.

He took a step back, and the light on the opposite side suddenly rose by one foot. It was a blue light, which was very different from the bright green color of the demon species.

Xiaoqiu's caution disappeared. He walked over and did not notice that the oil lamp behind him was already strangely lit. Even if all the oil lamps in Yelin Town were combined, they could not emit such a strong light.

Xiaoqiu walked to the opposite side, looked down, and couldn't help but sigh softly, then held her breath.

In the grass was a flower that he would never forget. It was about three feet tall and had three round leaves. At the top was a slowly swaying flower, about one foot in diameter, so that the stems and leaves below seemed overwhelmed.

The flower is pure blue all over, without any slight variegated color.

Xiaoqiu had an indescribable feeling, and the plant seemed to be nodding to him, so he nodded too.

The heat in the chest disappeared, but the heartbeat accelerated for no reason, and it sounded like the sound of a festival drum.

"This flower is so beautiful." A voice next to him said.

Xiaoqiu did not look back, and his eyes were reluctant to leave the blue flower. He knew that the person who was talking was Ershuan.

At some point, the teenagers who were sleeping got up, stood behind Xiaoqiu, watching the miracle that happened at night.

The only young officer was the exception. He looked at him and immediately retreated to the wooden door across the road, and shouted: "Hey, are you crazy? That's a demon species, stay away from it."

Compared with the beautiful blue flowers, the officer's voice was particularly harsh. "The demon species is green, it is not." Daliang said, even his eyes turned blue and faint.

"It's so beautiful..." Fangfang stood beside Xiaoqiu, not believing that this would be a demon seed. She even felt ashamed of herself and felt that she was not qualified to be too close to it.

"This is left by Grandma Feng." Xiaoqiu found an explanation for the whole thing, "Grandma Feng is not an ordinary person. The oil lamp in her yard is the same as the Five Elements Master, and she is also... a mage, and no one in the town recognizes it."

"That's right." Fangfang remembers the oil lamp more clearly, "The two oil lamps have the same pattern."

The other teenagers still didn't care about Grandma Feng. They just stared at Lanhua, afraid of taking a fewer glances. Erliang suddenly knelt on the ground, licked his lips and said, "I really want to take a bite and taste it."

Several angry eyes came, and Erliang hurriedly said, "I just thought about it, I won't really talk."

The teenagers knelt one by one on the grass, surrounded by blue flowers, with different expressions, and were deeply fascinated by it.

The officer looked back at the bright oil lamp, and felt a little calmer, and became more convinced that the blue flower opposite was a monster, but when he turned his head, he had a new idea in his heart. Why should he help these savage boys? They had beaten him, humiliated him, and treated him as a prisoner. After all, they deserved the sin.

"Good flowers don't bloom often." The officer retreated to the yard, closed the wooden door, completely under the cover of the oil lamp. "This flower blooms at night and will probably wither before dawn."

"I really don't want it to disappear." Fangfang said, and no teenager looked at the officer in the yard.

"It will not wither after picking it." The officer smiled on his face, and his heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge. "You must do it quickly. There is only one flower, but it is not enough for you nine."

This provocation did not produce the effect of the officer's hope. The teenagers did not rush to take action, but leaned back at the same time, as if they felt that they were not qualified to touch the blue flower.

Finally, Xiaoqiu stretched out his hand, his heart beating faster and faster, and there was a force that forced him to hold on to the flower.

"Yes, it should be you." The officer whispered to himself, "Whoever asked you to swallow the inner elixir is called self-inflicting.
