Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Little Mountain Spirit
As night fell, deep in the woods, Stone Rock and Arus sat cross-legged on the ground. When Pucci woke up, he found that the two of them were motionless, and he felt bored after watching it for a while, so he ran to the mountains and forests to play~
In the meditation realm, the two of them constantly urged their fighting qi to wander in the eight veins of the strange scriptures, and every time they finished their fighting qi, their bodies felt a little lighter. After the main meridians were completed, Shi Yan began to urge the Dou Qi to run in the branch meridians to which "Ghost Fist" belonged, and then the branch meridians to which "Fire Cloud Legs" belonged.
After Arus finished swimming the 3 stages of Dou Qi in the main meridian, he began to operate in the branch meridians designated by the "Thundering Fist".
After the internal training, it is time to practice the fighting skills. Fighting skills are also known as physical skills, and the best way to improve physical skills is actual combat, which is to fight each other. Arus couldn't wait to try his cultivation results, but unfortunately he was knocked down by an afterimage of Shi Yan before his fist touched Shi Yan~
Whenever this happens, Pucci will shout "poof~poof" on the side. Shi Yan found that Pucci would sleep most of the time, and every time he woke up, he would go out to find food, and he would also find some wild fruits for Shi Yan and Arus, and gradually, Shi Yan began to like this little guy.
"Our Pucci has been furry since the beginning, and I still can't see what its face looks like?" Arus said, looking at Pucci.
Indeed, after Pucci's hair dried, it became fluffy, similar to what Shi Yan looked at under the water, a big white hairball. Every time he lay on top of the two of them, Shi Yan felt very comfortable, and he couldn't help but feel like he wanted to hold it.
"Huh? You say, Pucci doesn't have any special abilities, the monsters in this mountain should have some abilities to some extent," Arus said.
"It's not okay to fight, you're too small, as for the rest," Shi Yan said, looking at the various wild fruits on the ground.
"Hehe, it seems that we will have a good fortune in the future," Arus laughed,
"Pucci is so cute, and he knows how to find something for us to eat, maybe it's some precious demon beast, if someone else sees it, it will be troublesome, so it's best to find a way to hide it during the day," Shi Yan said.
"How to hide? It's not big, but we can't put it in our pockets," Arus said.
"I have a way," Shi Yan smiled as he looked at Arus.
Looking at Shi Yan's smile, Arus felt a pain in his eggs~
~~~~~
In the middle of the forest, two walking teenagers, one slightly younger in front and the other slightly taller in the back, except that the boy in the back carried a bamboo basket.
"I said, this is what you wanted?" Arus asked, looking at Shi Yan.
"yes, you don't feel good?" Shi Yan asked.
"It's good, but why do you keep making me carry it?" Arus asked.
"Because I thought of this idea, and besides, aren't you a few years older than me," Shi Yan said.
"But you're better than me, you're all 6 dans, I'm only 3 dans," Arus shouted.
"I won't let you work in vain, come and take a sip" Shi Yan handed a bamboo tube to Arus.
"Less," Arus said.
But when a mouthful of water went down, the power in the water instantly filled his body, and this water was more powerful than the water in Qingshui Town, and Arus felt a lot lighter.
"It's delicious, I threw the stone into it, and found that the taste was the same as that of Shimizu Town, and it seemed to be better than the one there," Shi Yan said with a smile.
"I'll go, these rocks are too powerful, we're going to do it now," Arus laughed.
"It's better to keep a low profile, so as not to worry about others," Shi Yan said.
"Senior brother, isn't it a little too peaceful lately?" said Arus.
There are still two days to almost reach the Strange Stone City, and there are no twists and turns, but it makes the two of them feel a little uncomfortable. Shi Yan's experience with every promotion told him a truth, when he encounters a crisis, he stimulates his potential, overdraws his physical strength, and his promotion will be smooth. He believes that the reason why the strong people of the human race have become strong after traveling all over the continent is that after overcoming various difficulties, their physical strength is constantly overdrawn and their potential is constantly stimulated, so they are promoted quickly. But there are not as many exciting things as imagined~
"I'm going~" Chrus suddenly shouted.
Shi Yan came to his senses and saw that there was a situation ahead, it should be a caravan, but it was a sacked team.
"Poof~" Pucci suddenly exclaimed.
"See, it seems that the caravan is in trouble," Shi Yan said.
The two of them took Pucci all the way over, and when they got closer, they found that the wooden carts here had all been destroyed, and several dead cloud-stepping beasts had died of excessive blood loss after their necks were torn.
"Gnea~" Arus couldn't help but feel nauseous.
"Puff puff~" Pucci also hid behind Shi Yan.
"It seems that the caravan has been attacked by some kind of monster," Shi Yan said.
"I'll go, what is this, since it's so ferocious, I've only heard of treasure robbery before, but I've never seen a cannibal," Arus said, wiping his mouth.
"Don't you think this fat man is familiar," Shi Yan said, looking at a merchant on the ground.
"It's all unrecognizable, you can still look so closely, it's really convincing you," Arus said, pinching his nose.
"Puff~" Pucci jumped in front of a wooden cart, his furry body was in it, and he stretched out a short arm and pointed at a box inside the wooden cart.
"What does it want us to see?" Shi Yan asked.
"Could it be that there's something in that box?" Arus said.
When the two came to the wooden cart, they found a box upside down on the ground, Shi Yan carried a box very heavy, and after turning it over, he found that the lid of the box had been misplaced.
"Are there any survivors?" Shi Yan said.
"Just look at it," Arus said.
Lifting the lid of the box violently, a dagger flew out instantly, but fortunately, Shi Yan reacted quickly and dragged Arus back, but due to excessive force, both of them fell on all fours, and it took a long time for Arus to come back to his senses.
"What's the situation?" Arus said.
"Maybe they'll treat us like monsters," Shi Yan said.
The two of them cautiously leaned over again, and found that since there were two children inside, a man and a woman, they looked much older than Shi Yan and the same age as Arus.
"Don't don't, we're good people~" Shi Yan said cautiously.
The two children looked at Shi Yan as just a child, and their emotions were more stable, but they still hugged each other and trembled.
"Who ****** stab me with a sword," Arus scolded.
The two children in the car were obviously overly frightened, Shi Yan looked around, it should have been a few days here, the corpses were stinking, looking at the box, if it wasn't for the dislocation of the lid, it is estimated that the two children would have suffocated to death.
"Arus, forget it, let's think about what to do with these corpses first," Shi Yan said.
"Don't pull me, I can't stand it," Arus said.
"Alas" Shi Yan said, enduring his nausea, he moved the corpses away, because of his 6 levels of fighting energy, plus the divine power to protect the body, he could easily lift an adult.
Arus on the side couldn't look at it, thinking that he must have owed this guy in his last life, so he wrapped his nose in a cloth and dragged the corpse together with nausea. There were a total of 15 people who were counted and mutilated, plus two children, two of whom were dressed in gorgeous middle-aged couples, who were probably the leaders of the caravan, and most of the rest were bodyguards, Shi Yan saw that they were wearing uniform badges.
"What now?" Arus asked.
"Let's see if there are any other caravans passing by, I think they should know what to do," Shi Yan said.
~~~~~
A few hours later, he saw a caravan passing by, and after stopping it, Shi Yan came to this place with a group of people. Everyone was stunned by this scene, although they had heard of robberies, but it was really rare to see such a tragedy.
"Isn't this President Qian of Yunlan Town?" The leader of the caravan said.
"President Qian? You know him? Shi Yan asked.
"Yes, this is the president of Yunlan Town, and we are also old acquaintances," said the president of the team, "My surname is Jin, and I am the president of Qingshui Town."
"Clearwater Town?" Shi Yan and Arus said at the same time.
"Why, the two of you know about our town," Chairman Jin said, carefully examined Shi Yan and continued to ask, "I went to Ten Thousand Snakes Town not long ago, and President Wan mentioned a child like me, saying that he helped their town quell the Demon Snake Rebellion, could it be the two?" ”
"It's great that you know President Wan," Shi Yan said with a smile.
"Oh, it's really you, when President Wan told me about you, I thought he was bragging," President Kim said.
"Senior brother is already 11 years old, and he is already a 6th dan fighter," Arus said.
"It's amazing, it's really amazing, I'm already a fighter at a young age 6th rank, and my future is limitless," Chairman Kim said with a smile.
"I'm three," Arus said.
"Oh~ yes, hehe, you're amazing too," Chairman Kim said.
Chairman Kim has been walking the mainland for many years, and he has seen a lot of strange things, and a mere 11-year-old child can reach 6 levels of fighting spirit, which is too rare, and Chairman Kim couldn't help but look at Shi Yan a few more times.
"Chairman Kim, are there a lot of attacks by this kind of demon beast?" Shi Yan asked.
"Yes, but the chairman is a businessman approved by the Congress, how dare ordinary people touch us, look at the miserable situation in front of us, eighty percent of it is done by demon beasts" Chairman Jin told Shi Yan.
"Demon beasts?" Shi Yan said thoughtfully.
The Strange Stone Forest is the easternmost forest in the Stone Country, and there are more than a dozen small towns in the forest, among which the Strange Stone Town is the center. Each town will have a president who will be responsible for traveling around the country to do business and promote the local economy. This is true not only of the president of the Strange Stone Forest, but also in small towns all over the country. The National Assembly allows the president to organize his own team to ensure the safety of the presidents.
"We walk around the town all year round, and generally speaking, there will be no accidents, but every year when the Strange Stone Chamber of Commerce, the president of each town will take the treasures selected by the town to the Strange Stone Chamber of Commerce for auction, this period is considered an extraordinary period, and it is the time when the caravans are most likely to be looted, most of them are artificial, in order to snatch the treasures that the presidents auctioned," said Chairman Jin.
"Could it be that these monsters are trying to rob the treasure?" Arus wondered.
"I can't say that Chairman Qian hasn't lost any money, but it seems that there is a lot of lack of goods," Chairman Kim said.
"Is there anything worth stealing from this caravan?" Arus asked.
"Hehe, in order to develop its own economy, each town will develop its own characteristics, such as the strange stone town, and most of the presidents will go to purchase ore. The 'Snake Bead Grass' in Ten Thousand Snake Town can be used to make poison and can also be used for refining medicine, and President Wan's wife is also a good practitioner at refining medicine, although she is only a second-level spirit, she is a rare pharmacist in this strange stone forest. Our Qingshui Town, with spring water civilization, our spring water can strengthen the body, drive away poison and nourish the skin, and help junior cultivators to improve and purify their fighting spirit and true qi. If you want to talk about the place with the most herbs and the richest, it should be Yunlan Town, and other towns have their own characteristics. To the east of the Strange Stone Forest are our small towns," said Chairman Kim.
"I just looked at it, and I really didn't find a box containing medicinal materials, but it's okay to grab things, why are you still ~~" Shi Yan said.
After everyone finished speaking, thinking back to the scene just now, it was too cruel, looking at the two children in the car, a man and a woman, because they were too frightened, they seemed to have forgotten what happened before, and Pucci was playing with the two children.
"Little brother, I've always wanted to ask you, what kind of monster is your little white ball?" Chairman Kim said as he looked at Pucci carefully.
"Don't hide it from the president, this Pucci is the demon beast of your Qingshui Town, we passed by there not long ago, bought some spring water there, met Pucci on the way, and followed us all along," Shi Yan said.
Shi Yan and Arus smiled awkwardly, it can't be said that they were trying to find the spring water in Qingshui Town, and they tracked down the pharmacy owner to get it by accident.
"Are you saying that Pucci is a demon beast around our Qingshui Town, I haven't heard of such a demon beast, this doesn't look like a demon beast, how does it feel like?? Could it be ~ that it is? Chairman Kim didn't say the next word.
Shi Yan and Arus looked at Chairman Kim's appearance, and thought to themselves that it was over, especially Arus, who was originally timid, and looked at Chairman Kim's appearance must know the origin, and maybe it was raised by someone else.
"Mountain spirits? Could it be a mountain spirit? After a long delay, Chairman Kim finally said.
"Mountain spirits?" Shi Yan and Arus said at the same time.
"Yes, it's a kind of elf, I don't know what it came of, but you can have a mountain spirit, oh yes, it's really envious of others," Chairman Kim said.
Shi Yan and Arus looked at Chairman Kim's gaze, from surprise to envy, and finally shook their heads and smiled. Knowing that it wasn't raised by anyone, the hearts of the two of them hanging in their throats can be regarded as falling.
"What do you mean by change?" Shi Yan asked.
"You must know that everything in heaven and earth is spiritual, and after this spirituality accumulates over time, it will take shape in about 10,000 years, and if you have spiritual wisdom in more than 30,000 years, you will become this little elf in 50,000 years. Because it was born by condensing the essence of heaven and earth, we call it a mountain spirit," explained Chairman Kim.
"You mean Pucci has lived for 50,000 years, my God," Arus said in surprise.
"Not necessarily, it may take longer, different elves take different times to form, you only have a fluffy one, I don't know what it is," Chairman Kim said.
"So what's the use of it?" Shi Yan asked.
"Ha, boy, you are asking the right person, a few years ago I participated in the Strange Stone Chamber of Commerce, I have seen a change, you must know that this kind of thing can only be exchanged, money cannot be bought, I heard the auctioneer say that the mountain spirit, this kind of small thing generally grows in places with rare treasures, and lives by eating precious medicinal materials and drinking elixir and jade dew, it has a sense of anything spiritual, and I don't know what else to do," Chairman Jin said.
"So what's the use of it following me?" Shi Yan asked.
"Little brother, I'm afraid there's something special about you that attracts it," Chairman Kim said with a smile.
Shi Yan seems to know why, this little thing is eighty percent because he took those gravel stones, thinking of this, this little mountain spirit may be there because he likes to drink the water there.
"Hehe" Shi Yan smiled, thinking about how to change the topic in his mind.
"It's inconvenient for the little brother to say, and I don't force it, but this little mountain spirit is very rare, so it's better to collect it carefully," Chairman Kim said.
"My brother has a way," Arus said, looking at the bamboo basket behind him.
It stands to reason that this Pucci is also a mountain spirit in Qingshui Town, and he was taken by Shi Yan and Arus as his own, and Shi Yan was a little reluctant to go, but Chairman Jin looked like a person who had experienced a lot of things, and always left room for Shi Yan when he spoke, and the two of them felt very comfortable chatting with Shi Yan.
"President, do you know of any monsters that can make holes in boulders?" Shi Yan asked.
"Holes in the stones? The kind of monster you said is also related to my Qingshui Town, there used to be a kind of demon beast in the mountains of Qingshui Town, about 2 meters long, covered with golden scale armor from head to toe, four claws like steel blades can open mountains and split stones, like to make holes in the mountains, I have read in the book, it seems to be called 'Mountain Beast'".
"Could it be that those holes were drilled by the mountain beasts?" Shi Yan said silently.
"Hehe, you kid is so blessed, but you have a lot of experience at a young age," Chairman Kim said with a smile.
"Alas, alas, you two have been talking for so long, what should these two children do?" Arus asked.
Shi Yan and Chairman Jin's faces were both red, yes, President Qian's family just encountered an accident, since these two people are here to talk about the world.
"Eh~ cough cough, with my friendship with President Qian, these two children will be handed over to me, I will explain the situation in Yunlan Town, for now you follow me to the Chamber of Commerce first, and I will take them back after the Chamber of Commerce is over" Chairman Jin said.
