Master Deng gave a fierce blow at the corner of his mouth: "does this girl have a fever and confuse her head? Let's eat her purse?"

"I know what she means." Li Qing's face changed. She untied her purse and stared at the incense ash soaked in water. "Caiyun once told me that the remaining incense ash after the Hakka people worshipped the mountain god empress can dispel demons. She asked us to take it down."

"Oh." master Deng sighed, "that's a bit of a spectrum. I thought the little girl let us swallow our pockets. I can't chew this thing, and I don't have such a big voice."

Xie Yuyan frowned: "are you sure about this local recipe? I can't tell a little truth."

"Miss Xie, don't underestimate the local methods." master Deng said with a smile, "the more this kind of thing is, the more effective it is."

"Try it, Caiyun told you, there should be no mistake." Li Qing turned and lifted the kettle he had drunk before, then squeezed the soft incense ash into it, screwed the lid and shook it.

Li Qing raised the kettle: "who shall try first?"

"I'll come first." master Deng reached out and took the kettle, unscrewed the lid, raised his neck and took a hard sip.

"Ah, ah! Shit!" one hand covered his throat, master Deng's face twisted and stamped his feet in pain.

Li Qing hurriedly asked, "what's the matter?"

"How to say, it's too... Too exciting!" master Deng took a hard breath and squatted down on the spot. "It's extremely hot. It's not the kind of spicy pepper. It feels like drinking a mouthful of alcohol and a thread of throat."

"I'll try it." Li Qing curiously grabbed the wine pot. To be on the safe side, he just took a small sip and was jumped up and down in a moment. Deng Shi's description is indeed very vivid. The taste of this fragrant grey water is really like filling the throat with liquor. It seems that there is a fire down the esophagus and finally explodes in the stomach. After only a sip, Li Qing felt hot in his stomach, warm all over and began to sweat.

"It's really a feeling of being locked in the old gentleman's gossip stove." Li Qing muttered and handed the kettle to Xie Yuyan. "Be careful when you drink. It's a little too red for women."

Xie Yuyan gently put Caiyun on the stone surface, took a sip from the kettle and frowned. After all, she is a daughter's home, and her cultivation is much better than Li Qing and Deng Shi. She didn't show the discomfort too obviously.

Master Deng touched his stomach and winked at Li Qing: "Captain, do you feel... Something moving in your stomach?"

"Ah?" Li Qing also touched his stomach and shook his head in doubt. "No, I just feel warm in my stomach and a little hot on my body."

"So am I, but I feel like something is churning in my stomach..." before master Deng finished his words, he suddenly retched, startled Li Qing, and hurriedly asked, "what's the matter?"

Mr. Deng waved his hand, then ran to one side and threw up violently on the stone wall with one hand.

"This thing is too strong. It hurts your stomach." Li Qing pulled the corners of her mouth and glanced at Xie Yuyan around her, but found that the latter's face was also very ugly, "is it difficult... You too?"

The white jade hand gently pressed on the lower abdomen. Xie Yuyan nodded slightly: "he's right. There's something in his stomach."

When the voice fell, Xie Yuyan quickly walked to the other side and squatted in the corner. After a while, he began to vomit.

"How are you?" Li Qing asked loudly after waiting for a while.

"Fortunately, it's no big deal." master Deng waved his hand to Li Qing, but his voice was trembling.

Li Qing turned her head and saw that Xie Yuyan had never spoken, so she first walked towards her: "are you okay?"

"Don't come here!" Xie Yuyan suddenly shouted, his voice sharp and completely changed his tone.

At the foot of a meal, Li Qing's body froze: "what's the matter with you? Still uncomfortable?"

Xie Yuyan shook his head slowly. His voice was mixed with a trace of panic and a little cry: "it's disgusting, it's disgusting..."

His eyes were slightly frozen. Li Qing quickly walked over and held Xie YuYan's shoulder. He looked down at the Milky vomit. His pupils suddenly shrunk and his face was unbelievable.

In the vomit, countless worms like maggots are twisting their bodies and struggling. The scene was so disgusting that people felt numb on their scalp.

"I have a suggestion." Li Qing's Adam's apple rolled gently and his voice was difficult. "Do you want to drink more in case you don't spit up..."

"OK, OK." Xie Yuyan nodded again and again. With the help of Li Qing, he walked back quickly. He endured the bad taste and poured two mouthfuls of fragrant gray water down.

"You too?" master Deng came back and asked Xie Yuyan. His cheeks were still iron blue. Xie Yuyan didn't answer, but master Deng already got the answer. After a little meditation, he turned his eyes to Li Qing: "Why are you all right?"

Li Qing's face was a little embarrassed: "maybe it's the tattoo on my body. Gu Yue said before that my tattoo is not a simple red earth pattern, which can overcome this worm."

"Well, forget it, I'll have two more drinks." master Deng took the kettle from Xie YuYan's hand and filled it again without hesitation.

However, at the beginning, the fragrant grey water obviously had enough effect. After Xie Yuyan and Deng Shi drank more, they didn't spit out anything. Instead, they felt a burning pain in their intestines and stomach.

"Caiyun is right. We can't take him away." Li Qing glanced at Hu Feng's body lying obliquely on the ground and whispered to Xie Yuyan, "the worm has laid eggs in his body. If you take it out rashly..."

"I understand, forget it." Xie Yuyan lit his head. The whole person seemed to lose all his strength in a moment, and his eyebrows were tired.

Master Deng put the kettle to Caiyun's small mouth and whispered, "good boy, have a drink..."

"I don't drink... Don't drink..." Caiyun didn't open his eyes, wrinkled Joan's nose and said low.

Master Deng looked up at Li Qing, looked at the latter, and had to stop bitterly. Caiyun has lived in Longxi since childhood. His resistance to demons and insects is naturally much stronger than that of foreign goods, so it's not surprising that he doesn't need to drink fragrant grey water.

Xie Yuyan took off her coat and gently covered Hu Feng's body. Then she stepped back, knelt down and kowtowed to Hu Feng.

"You've been protecting me all these years..."

"I always use you as a servant. In fact, I should have called you brother."

"Brother, you have a good rest."

Xie Yuyan stood up, blinked, and then turned to pick up the bright lamp in the corner.

"Let's go. Hold on a little longer and we can go out." Li Qing carried Caiyun behind her and walked towards the end of the stone road with Xie Yuyan and Deng Shi.

Footsteps echoed in the empty stone path. Xie Yuyan glanced at Li Qing gently: "what happened after you knocked me out has not been told yet."

Li Qing couldn't help but change color slightly: "in fact, I don't know."

Master Deng interrupted in the back: "what is unclear?"

"Just..." Li Qing hesitated, "it just feels too fantastic."

Xie YuYan's look also became quite strange: "fantasy?"

"HMM." Li Qing nodded. "Later, Zhao Qili was insane. He fired three rockets, two of which hit the dome of Tiankeng, causing a landslide, and then..."

"Then suddenly a blue light was projected from the top of the head. Zhao Qili and I became skeletons. Those Eurya birds fell from the sky, and the scream never stopped..."

"Ah?" master Deng's eyelids jumped violently. "Captain, you have a fever? The blue light? The skeleton? What are these and what are they?"

Li Qing gave a fierce blow at the corner of his mouth: "I said it was too fantastic. I don't even believe it. I think it should be a kind of ray. Zhao Qili and I fainted after irradiation."

"It's still unbelievable." master Deng made no secret of his doubt. "Is it possible that the old man Guzhou also made a ray machine and hid above the sinkhole to take photos of you? Is this old guy too painful?"

Xie Yuyan didn't comment on Li Qing's words. After a moment of silence, she continued to ask, "what happened later?"

"Later... I fainted." Li Qing said slowly. "When I woke up, I saw the ancient boat. I asked her where the ancient moon was. He told me that he was dead and had buried people. I think he was lying to me."

Xie Yuyan asked, "what else did he say?"

"He said I avenged the ancient gate and the Li family, so the Li family owed the ancient gate a hundred years ago, and he spared my life. Well, that's roughly what he meant."

"He also beat me." Li Qing tilted his head when he spoke. He felt pain in his chest when he was kicked by the ancient boat. The old guy really dared to do it, as if he was afraid that he would not die.

Xie Yuyan continued to ask, "didn't you talk about Hu Feng?"

Li Qing shook his head: "No."

"Hmm?" Li Qing's body suddenly froze and his face turned blue.

Xie Yuyan and Deng Shi stopped at the same time, staring at Li Qing with a puzzled face.

"Li Qing." Xie Yuyan said softly, "what do you think of?"

After a moment of silence, Li Qing shook his head slowly: "No."

Xie YuYan's beautiful eyes blinked, and a strange look gushed on her delicate cheeks: "really?"

"Really." Li Qing nodded. "I'm sure Gu Zhou didn't say anything else. There have been too many changes recently. I'm a little neurotic. Don't mind too much."

"Forget it." master Deng came around from behind and patted Li Qing on the shoulder. "It's good not to be crazy after so many things."

"Oh." Xie Yuyan said softly, raised his jade hand and pointed forward, "keep going."
