My plug-in is a fairy grass

Chapter 614

Outside the giant tripod

The purple-robed monk looked like a stone statue, staring at the opening at the bottom of the cauldron motionlessly, his face getting more and more ugly.

Wisps of white mist are still overflowing, but the speed has more than doubled. According to this trend, it will get slower and slower!

It only took half a quarter of an hour to condense the first drop of the water of life, but it took a quarter of an hour for the second drop.Two quarters of an hour had passed, and the mist was still condensing, but the third drop of condensate hadn't been formed for a long time.

Although there is a sealing formation around the stone basin, the water of life is something that cannot be tolerated in this world. If it cannot be condensed into a liquid in time, a large amount of spiritual energy will escape and be lost, which cannot be recovered.

This means a huge waste!
"Tick tock!" The long-awaited third drop finally took shape!

However, the face of the purple-robed man was no longer happy, and he said anxiously: "Master, if this continues..."

The Yaozun closed his eyes slightly, waved his hand to stop him from continuing, and said: "Once the Fushou Ding is activated, it cannot be stopped easily. At this time, don't bother Gu Zheng and Han Rui."

"Yes." The purple-robed man reluctantly replied.

He continued to stare at the opening, and after a few breaths, his face changed drastically!
"Master! Stop, stop, the aura is no longer coming out!"

"What?" Rao Yaozun was always calm, but at this moment, his expression suddenly changed, and a pair of cloudy and sharp old eyes suddenly opened!

I saw the spring-like opening at the bottom of the tripod, which was clear at this time, and there was no more white mist overflowing!
"What's going on?" He suddenly turned his head, and under the tripod pillar in front of him, a person jumped down in embarrassment.

"Holy One!" Gu Zheng reported tremblingly with pale lips, "Fushou Ding, suddenly, suddenly stopped working."

While saying this, another person came down from the other direction, it was Han Rui, also pale, with trembling knees.

"Why is this happening?" Yao Zun said unhurriedly, having recovered his usual calm demeanor.

However, the coercive momentum in the voice, which was as heavy as a mountain, made Gu Zheng even more frightened.

"This subordinate is still searching. According to my speculation, maybe, maybe something went wrong during the refining process. This subordinate must..."

"Then hurry up and investigate! We must investigate to find out the truth!" Yaozun shouted sharply, and Gu Zheng was so frightened that he quickly responded.

At this time, Han Rui plucked up his courage and asked for instructions: "My lord, please give me instructions on how to deal with those people in the cauldron."

"Disposal?" Yaozun showed a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth: "They are all locked up. After the Fushouding is repaired, the old man will have to borrow them!"

Then he added: "It is indispensable to eat and drink these people, take good care of them, don't let them die easily!"

"Yes." Han Rui bowed his head and replied.

……

A day later, in the stone room where Zhao Yueer Zixue once appeared, there were two people in the large space of Zhang Yu.

One person standing tall is Gu Zheng, the other kneeling on the ground is one of his disciples.The last process before the Fushou Ding was cast yesterday, the placement of the quicksand of time, was completed by this person.

But now, the disciple surnamed Guo was pale, looking at the altar in the middle with fear and confusion.

It was empty inside, with only a tiny bit of white residue.

"Tiecheng, come and explain to the old man, why are the top-quality spirit stones gone so quickly?"

"Master, this, this is impossible!" Guo Tiecheng stretched his neck and argued loudly: "This should be a high-grade spirit stone, a remnant of a high-grade spirit stone!"

"You also know that this is a top-grade spirit stone!" Gu Zheng sneered, "The top-grade spirit stone! Where did it go?"

"Disciple doesn't know!" Gu Zheng kowtowed his head several times, and said in a mournful voice, "Master, the disciple placed in this secret room that day was indeed a top-grade spirit stone! Master, you It was also checked at that time, and the disciple definitely did not misplace it!"

Gu Zheng remained silent.

For such an important project, he has carefully reviewed every link, including the placement of the quicksand yesterday. He also paid attention to the whole process with his spiritual consciousness to ensure that there were no mistakes.

Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, he did not believe at all that the loss of the top-grade spirit stone would be caused by the disciple in front of him.

First of all, this matter is too big and the consequences are too serious, no one can afford it.The reason Yao Zun didn't punish him yesterday was just waiting for a result.

In front of these monsters, the human monks were separated by a layer of kinship.If it wasn't for me and Han Rui, one who is proficient in refining tools and the other who is good at alchemy, how could they allow them to break through Nascent Soul and live well up to now?

As long as Guo Tiecheng has a little brain, he will not do such a stupid thing that ruins his family.

Furthermore, more importantly, he has no such ability.

Although this disciple did most of the work from the layout to the final completion of the secret room, he alone handled the crucial formation setup from the beginning to the end.I remember that what was placed in the middle of the altar at that time was indeed the top-quality spirit stone that he personally selected from the Holy Lord's treasury, and there was absolutely no mistake about it.

Before calling Guo Tiecheng to come to question him, he had carefully checked every corner of the secret room, and found no sign of any formation being touched.

And with his formation skills, he would not think that anyone else in the mountain region has the ability to steal the spirit stone from the secret room without anyone noticing.

Han Rui?Although the woman was not against her and was good at formations, but it was absolutely impossible for her to sneak into this secret room without leaving a trace.

Zi Dou?That is a mouse that pretends to be smart, and knows nothing about formations.

Yao Zun himself?It is possible for his old man to do it.However, if the Yaozun wants to take his own life, does it need such a troublesome setup?
If it wasn't Yaozun, Zidou, Hanrui, or Guo Tiecheng, who else could it be?

If I can't find out who did it, how can I explain to Yaozun?
Gu Zheng frowned, and paced back and forth in the secret room with his hands behind his back.The moment he turned around, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Guo Tiecheng staring blankly at his back, with a fierce look on his face, which was not only fear, but also anger.

Why is he?
Suddenly he had a thought, could it be that this guy surnamed Guo thought that the old man was intentionally wronging him?

He was terrified!

In terms of possibility, the only one who has the ability to take away the top-grade spirit stone without being noticed by others is himself!

If you just report the cause of the accident to Yao Zun, I am afraid that I will be the first to suspect it!

Even the motivation is easy to find out. The identity of human beings is the biggest motivation.

Damn it, I'm the biggest suspect after messing around for a long time!
For a moment, Gu Zheng felt a sense of absurdity.

Never report truthfully!
Fortunately, in the old man's secret room, there is still a superb spiritual stone.

After some weighing, he has made a decision.

……

"Tiecheng, my teacher wrongly blamed you. The theft of the spirit stone should have nothing to do with you. Get up!"

Gu Zheng let out a long sigh, stretched out his hands to help Guo Tiecheng up.

"Master, be careful." Guo Tiecheng said with a sore nose and sobs.

His body suddenly went numb, his hands were clasped by the master, and all the meridians in his body were closed.

A dark green pill was taken out of Gu Zheng's arms and stuffed into his mouth.

"Tiecheng, get on your way! As a teacher, I will try my best to speak for you in front of the Holy One."

This was the last sound he heard.

……

The cause of the accident was finally found out.

According to Gu Zheng's report, his disciple Guo Tiecheng, in the process of casting the Fushou Ding, because of his eagerness for success and profit, there was a major omission in the layout of one of the four poles of the earth.

After Gu Zheng found out the cause of the accident, this disciple knew that his crime was unforgivable, and committed suicide in fear of crime!

……

Not long after, Yaozun issued an edict with three main contents:
First, Gu Zheng was not clear about his command and did not strictly control the project, so his crime could not be escaped.Thinking of his past achievements, and it was the first time to refine the Fushou Ding, he was dealt with lightly and ordered to pay 30 spirit stones as a punishment.

Second, order Gu Zheng to repair the mistakes and omissions within three days, and check other vital points.If there is another mistake, double crimes will be punished, and no mercy will be given!

Thirdly, the original nine top-quality spirit stones were returned to the treasury, and another nine intact top-quality spirit stones were selected for use.

……

Just when Guo Tiecheng committed suicide and Gu Zheng was punished, a branch finally got out of the ground, and its two petals stretched freely under the night sky, as if to embrace the sky full of stars.

After a while, the three-inch-high branches of this plant shot out in the blink of an eye, and a bulge suddenly appeared at the bottom end, which was slowly moving upwards.

Finally, it emerged from the top of the branch, and then fell to the ground with a "click".

A small round bluestone.

~~~~ The following words are not counted~~~~
PS: This chapter has been changed several times today. The earliest arrangement was to admit the theft of the top-quality spirit stone, and Guo Tiecheng pleaded guilty.Then Guo was taken down, but instead of being executed, he was thrown into the Fushou Ding for other purposes.

Later, as I wrote and wrote, I found that after all kinds of reasons were ruled out, Gu Zheng was actually the most suspected under the circumstance that the thief could not be found.

If this is the case, the novel cannot be written like this, otherwise, wouldn't Gu Zheng be a fool?
So after thinking about it for a long time, arranging Guo Tiecheng as a scapegoat should be the most reasonable choice for Gu Zheng from his own perspective.

As for whether the Yaozun believes it or not, it doesn't really matter.As long as the Fushou Ding still needs to be used, the Yaozun will save his life.

Guo Tiecheng is dead, that "other use" character, I think about it, it's just a detail, it won't affect the development of the novel.

Finally, it is the method Yiyi mentioned in the previous chapter. Although it is not clearly stated in the text, you should have seen it, right?
