    Early the next morning, there was an explosion on the ship. A group of warriors were pointing around the mast and discussing something in a low voice. Everyone looked frightened. When they saw Manager Zhao coming, they hurriedly stepped aside to find a way out.  I saw a man nailed to the mast. His facial expression was distorted, as if he had encountered something terrible. His face was ashen and he was dead.  A three-inch long nail passed through the throat of the deceased and hung the body on the mast. The blood stained the mast red, and four big red characters were written on the deck below: Six days left.  Manager Zhao frowned and asked sternly: "Who was on duty last night? How come no one reported such a big thing?" Wu Er, who was on duty at the side, had already turned pale with fear and hesitantly said: "II  I don¡¯t know what happened. I didn¡¯t sleep last night and was patrolling here in the back cabin. There was nothing abnormal. But¡± Manager Zhao shouted angrily: ¡°But what? Could it be that this dead man grew out of the mast?¡±  You didn¡¯t even notice that the person was dead?¡± Wu Er¡¯s legs weakened and he fell on the ground, stumbling and saying: ¡°I don¡¯t know, I didn¡¯t know. I just relieved myself at dawn, and when I came back I found this this um  Who can kill someone so quickly without making a sound? Manager Zhao, Iare we just trying to get into trouble?" Manager Zhao was furious, kicked Wu Er to the ground, and said sternly: "It's obvious.  It was you who was lazy during the night watch, which allowed the enemy to succeed in the sneak attack. Now you dare to spread rumors and cause trouble. Come on, drag him to the cabin and fast for a day! If any of you dare to spread rumors and cause trouble, you will be punished together with him!  " Everyone hurriedly fell silent - fasting for a day is not a big deal, but facing those evil guys alone in the cabin is the greatest torture.  After breakfast, Manager Zhao, Zhang Wei, Qin'er and Zhao Yudan sat around the room. Manager Zhao told the whole story and then said: "This matter is extremely strange and of great importance, so I have to put the two of them together."  Please come and discuss countermeasures together!¡± Zhao Yudan still looked lazy, leaning on the chair with his elbows, and said calmly: ¡°Wu Er is not lazy, it¡¯s just that the enemy is smart!¡±  When they came out, Manager Zhao and Qin'er were both shocked. Only Zhang Wei knew the whole story, so his expression was calm.  Zhao Yudan brushed his hair with his delicate hands, revealing half of his fragrant shoulders, and said lightly: "These are the enemies I mentioned before, and they are here! But I don't know which warrior died. Manager Zhao must treat him favorably."  His family!" Manager Zhao took a step forward and bowed: "Miss Renyi, it is really a blessing for my subordinates, but the person who died was not one of ours!" The three of them exclaimed at the same time, and Zhang Wei hurriedly asked: "Then  "Who is dead?" "The guys on the boat!" Manager Zhao said word by word: "I counted the number of us in the morning, and there is no change, but there is one less guy from Wangcai!" Zhang Wei said casually, stunned.  : "Since they are Miss Zhao's enemies, why don't they touch our people instead of killing the guys in the boat? This is really strange! They are notthe killing method is too cruel!" He originally  I thought about the second part of the sentence and said that they are all members of the Zhentian Sect, but suddenly I remembered that Zhao Yudan didn't know about his eavesdropping the night before, so I quickly changed my words.  Zhao Yudan lowered his head, sighed, and said resentfully: "This time it's my concubine who has caused trouble for you. My enemies are cruel and ruthless. They found me this time and gave me seven days to hand over the Nine Dragons Purple Gold Cauldron, otherwise they will let me  Life is worse than death. Their habit is to kill the same number of people every day within the agreed time limit. One person on the first day, two people on the second day, and three people on the third day" Manager Zhao listened.  When he heard the name Jiulong Purple Gold Cauldron, his expression changed and he said in surprise: "Miss, could it be that the small cauldron you gave me to make alchemy is the Jiulong Purple Gold Cauldron?" Zhao Yudan nodded and said, "I don't know anything about alchemy, but seeing them actually  Paying so much attention to this small alchemy cauldron shows that there is definitely a lot in it, so I gave it to you to refine the elixir, hoping to find out the secret as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the big thing has not been accomplished, and the enemy has already found it.  It's a pity, it's a pity!" When Zhao Yudan mentioned the second pity, Manager Zhao was already blushing, ashamed, and stood there helplessly.  Qin'er opened her big eyes and said seriously: "There are only fifteen people in the boat including maids and maids. Does that mean that they will attack us from the sixth day?" Zhao Yudan was powerless.  He nodded and said: "That's it. I'm afraid that when the deadline comes, no matter whether I hand over the Nine Dragons Purple Gold Cauldron or not, you guys on the ship will be implicated. They never leave anyone alive." Zhang Wei took the Gentleman's Sword.  Smashing it to the ground, the scabbard hit the wooden board with a muffled sound, and he said with an arrogant look: "The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves here, we should quickly discuss the next step."?I wonder where your enemy comes from, Miss Zhao?  " Zhao Yudan said calmly: "Young Master Zhang doesn't know something. My enemies are people from the Zhentian Sect. When it comes to martial arts, Young Master Zhang is not afraid of them, but they can use magic, control people's minds, and even  Killing people in their sleep makes everyone change their minds when they hear it. They are afraid that if they accidentally say the wrong thing, someone from the Zhentian Sect will listen to it and take their lives in their sleep!  " Zhang Wei suddenly said: "That's it. It seems that the guys and maids on the boat are not believers of the Zhentian Sect. They were just manipulated. Therefore, the guys were killed without any resistance. No wonder Wu  Second, I didn¡¯t notice it!  "She sighed softly and said quietly: "If this is the case, this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Zhang and Miss Qin'er. When the boat docks, you should leave as soon as possible. Don't send yourself away because of your humble concubine.  life!  " Zhang Weihao suddenly became angry and said loudly: "No matter what Miss Zhao thinks, since we have been together these days, I regard Miss Zhao and Manager Zhao as my good friends. Now that my friends are in trouble, how can I not save them?  ?  What's more, what about escaping from battle?  Zhang Wei would rather die fighting for his friends than abandon his friends and live in vain!  " Zhang Wei's words were so upright that Qin'er couldn't help but look at her with admiration. She said loudly: "I will also advance and retreat together with Sister Zhao!  " Zhao Yudan was so moved that he held Qin'er's hand and said in a trembling voice: "Silly sister" Zhang Wei couldn't stand this sensational scene and quickly changed the subject: "Manager Zhao, please take your Kowloon Purple Gold Cauldron.  Let's take a closer look together. If we can discover this secret within the deadline, we will still be able to give it a try and not be too passive!  " Manager Zhao glanced at Zhao Yudan, and when the latter nodded in agreement, he hurried out and soon brought a one-foot-square red wooden box, which contained an alchemy cauldron that was about the same size as the wooden box. The color of the cauldron was all over the body.  It is purple, the sun shines on the surface of the tripod, and it seems that water vapor is steaming and flowing. There are nine dragon heads of different styles around the tripod. The base is a divine turtle with a dragon head and a turtle body, with a huge one on the ground at the four corners.  The dragon's head raised slightly. Zhang Wei was amazed when he saw it. He couldn't help but reach out to touch the alchemy cauldron. As soon as his fingers touched the wall of the cauldron, he felt the fighting energy in his body suddenly rise. A ball of blue tightly wrapped Zhang Wei, and then a trace of it.  The blue fighting energy flowed into the cauldron. Zhang Wei was horrified and quickly withdrew his hand. The blue fighting energy on his body returned to normal in an instant and disappeared back into Zhang Wei's body. Zhang Wei looked at Manager Zhao in shock.  , Fang Buddha is asking: ¡°What¡¯s going on?  "Unexpectedly, the latter also had a look of astonishment on his face, as if asking: "How did you do it?  " Zhang Wei glanced at the alchemy cauldron in disbelief, and asked Manager Zhao: "The treasure you mentioned to me before, is this the alchemy cauldron?  " Manager Zhao nodded and said: "I was about to mention this. According to what I have discovered after refining elixirs for so long, this tripod is different from the ordinary tripod. It does not require pills or other medicinal materials. All it needs is  Blood!  In the past, when I refined the Jiuyang Solid Source Pill, I injected Dou Qi into my blood and dripped it into this cauldron. If I used other medicinal materials and pill blanks to refine it, I would often produce poisonous substances that could kill people.  " "One day, I had a whim and wanted to try what kind of effect it would have if I used a lot of blood to refine it, so I spent money to select a dozen people from the young people in Xiangyang City and collected a few bowls of blood.  "Guanshi Zhao was completely obsessed with describing the process of alchemy. He didn't pay attention to Qin'er and Zhao Yudan. They frowned and covered their mouths with their sleeves, almost nauseating. The most painful one was Zhang Wei. He thought of how much he had eaten.  The delicious elixir was actually made from human blood. I felt sour water flowing from my mouth and my stomach was churning. Manager Zhao said to himself: "So I poured fighting energy into these bowls of blood and poured them into the cauldron.  In the middle of it, a crystal clear red elixir actually formed. I thought this elixir must be extraordinary, so I hid it with me.  Until the last time I was injured and dying, I took it and took it. Unexpectedly, it had the miraculous effect of promoting wound healing. The injury that was supposed to take a year healed in just ten days without leaving any scars.  !  "As he spoke, he unbuttoned his shirt and exposed his back. As expected, there was no scar at all, as if he had never been injured. Seeing Qin'er hiding her face in shame, Manager Zhao noticed the gaffe and hurriedly put on his shirt.  He said with interest: "I was wondering, if there is enough blood and fighting spirit, can I refine a pill that can bring people back to life?  " When Zhao Yudan heard the words "resurrection from the dead", his eyes shone with a strange light, but the light disappeared in a flash, and then he regained his composure. Zhang Wei said: "If this tripod really has the ability to bring the dead back to life, then it cannot fall into the hands of Zhen Tian.  It's in the hands of those crazy people. If they use this cauldron to do evil, won't we never kill them?  Is this the big secret of this alchemy cauldron?  ¡±  Everyone was silent for a while, and Qin'er suddenly said: "If according to what Manager Zhao said, the alchemy cauldron can refine healing medicine, and then it is possible to refine the medicine for resurrecting the dead, then Manager Zhao can refine the Jiuyang that provides fighting energy.  Can the Guyuan Pill be used to refine a pill that permanently improves fighting spirit and physical fitness? We might as well boldly speculate that since the Zhentian Sect has the ability to control people's minds, they will naturally not be interested in pills that improve martial arts.  Interested, is it because the alchemy cauldron can refine mind-controlling elixirs?" Everyone was shocked when this statement came out, and they couldn't help but sigh: "Why didn't I think of such a simple truth?"
