Chapter 14 Fireworks
Since that day, Zhan Bai and Liu Chengying seem to have returned to the past. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liu Chengying still works step by step every day, has morning classes, exercises, and then finds familiar brothers and sisters to write poems and songs, and is very busy. Zhanbai, on the other hand, sat in the study every day, studying the four sword books in detail.
This kind of time lasted for more than a month, and what is funny is that during this month, Zhanbai has never fulfilled his duty as a companion, and Liu Chengying seems to have forgotten such a person.
Until this day, Liu Chengying, who had finished the morning class, suddenly appeared in front of Zhanbai.
"Have you thought about it?" Yoo Seung-ying asked.
"Do I have a choice?" Zhan Bai replied without raising his head, his tone was calm, and his eyes were always fixed on the sword book in his hand.
Yes, does he have a choice, since he is on Liu Chengying's thief ship, even if he chooses to be an ordinary person, it is already impossible.
"I'm getting more and more fond of your cleverness." Yoo Seung-young smiled.
"If you have something, just say it." Zhan Bai muttered.
"Come out with me."
"Do what?"
"Go and get something, something very important." After Liu Chengying finished speaking, he had already walked out first.
"Hey!" Although he had known the result for a long time, when he really faced it, Zhan Bai still sighed for no reason, and then closed the book in his hand, put it in his arms, and followed him slowly.
A familiar carriage was the one that Fu Manlou was carrying Zhanbai at the beginning. At this time, it is staying outside the courtyard.
Stepping into the carriage, Zhanbai saw that in addition to Liu Chengying, there were Fu Manlou and a woman in red. The woman in red also had a delicate face, but her expression was indifferent, giving people a sense of inaccessibility.
"It's getting late, let's go." Liu Chengying didn't wait for Zhanbai to sit down, and said to Fu Manlou.
There are no bumps or discomfort, but there is a noticeable feeling of speeding.
After riding the carriage twice, Zhanbai's state of mind was undoubtedly heavy and even a little apprehensive at this time compared to the first longing and expectation.
"Senior Brother Liu, how sure are you?" On the way, Fu Manlou suddenly asked.
"You shouldn't ask me, you ask him." Liu Chengying pointed at Zhanbai.
"Me?" Rao is Zhanbai is wiser, but he also makes the second monk scratch his head, so far, he doesn't know anything except knowing to take one thing.
"He doesn't know yet?" Fu Manlou said in surprise.
"I haven't had time to say it yet." Liu Chengying pillowed his arms and replied boredly.
"Well, I knew it was going to be like this." Fu Manlou smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Let's talk about it." The thing we are going to pick up this time is called Yanji Flower, which is a kind of treasure and treasure. The smoky flower, blooming for a thousand years, the flower blooms in a flash, that is, the time of the blink of an eye. That's what we're looking for. ”
"What's the use?" Zhan Bai asked.
"Grass is highly poisonous, and it has no use except for refining poison. But the fireworks are a treasure. ”
"Tell me clearly, what does it mean?" Zhan Bai was a little displeased, will he die after speaking, is it not this scholar, they all like to play tricks, and they have to hang people's appetite to the fullest.
"The specific use of the pyrotechnic flower, for tens of thousands of years, there are different opinions and many doubts. What can be determined is that it is an adjuvant for refining a pill, which can greatly improve the quality of the pill. As for other uses, it's more just hearsay than credible. Fu Manlou explained.
"Blooming for a thousand years, flowers blooming once, but it's just an adjuvant medicine, is it so simple?" Zhanbai clearly didn't believe it.
"There's another use." Liu Chengying suddenly spoke.
"What's the use?" This time, Fu Manlou asked in surprise.
"Hey...... It can change the attributes of the innate Xuan Ling, to be exact, assimilation. Liu Chengying's face was full of smirks.
"Senior Brother Fu should know that the fundamental reason why you and I are Xuan Cultivators can feel the Xuanhuang Qi between heaven and earth is the innate Xuan Ling. However, the attributes of the innate Xuan Ling are varied, and no one has been able to fully count them until now. The five elements, yin and yang are relatively common, but there are also rare ones such as nightmares and thoughts. Therefore, when choosing the Xuan Cultivation Method, we will try our best to fit the attributes of our own innate Xuan Ling, so that when we cultivate, we can get twice the result with half the effort. Liu Chengying was not so much talking to Fu Manlou as explaining Zhanbai.
"And the Yanji Flower can not only completely change the attributes of the innate Xuanling, but can even greatly improve it."
Hiss!!!
After listening to Liu Chengying's words, Zhan Bai didn't feel anything, but Fu Manlou gasped, he really didn't expect this fireworks flower to have such an effect, if it was spread, it would be a shocking secret for the Xuan Cultivation Realm.
"Hey, Senior Brother Fu, you'd better not think about it. The effect of this smoky flower is too extreme, and its side effects are not something that anyone can bear. Liu Chengying said with a smile.
"And side effects?" Fu Manlou was taken aback, but he was quickly relieved, if such an extreme treasure had no negative effect, wouldn't it cause chaos in the world?
"Well, not only that, but the consequences are very serious. Senior Brother Fu, believe me, the side effects are beyond your reach. Liu Chengying seemed to think of something, his face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes were full of fear.
For a while, the car fell silent, only Zhanbai stared at Liu Chengying thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking.
After half a day, the carriage slowly stopped.
When you step out of the carriage, you are greeted by a primeval swampy jungle that is almost cut off from the sun.
Towering trees of dozens of feet shade the sky and the sun, and the dead leaves are half floating in the muddy swamp, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that under the swamp, there are a pair of dead wood-colored eyes, indifferently observing the surroundings, always waiting for the arrival of food.
"Right here?"
Looking at Zhanbai's calm expression, Liu Chengying was a little disappointed.
"It's this swampy jungle, and I don't know who gave it a name, it's called three miles, which means that as long as you go deep into three miles of it, you won't want to come out alive." Fu Manlou always likes to play the role of a warm-hearted big brother.
Zhan Bai's eyes scanned the swampy jungle in front of him over and over again, and in a short time, he found more than a dozen bowl-thick pythons in the big trees, and dozens of man-eating crocodiles in the swamp.
In such a treacherous place, it can be said that there is a huge hidden danger at any time and anywhere.
"Someone went in one step ahead of us." Liu Chengying said suddenly.
Everyone followed Liu Chengying's gaze, and sure enough, there were several fresh footprints left on the trunk of the big tree not far away.
"Here's a picture of a fireworks." Liu Chengying didn't know where he suddenly took out a palm-sized scroll and stuffed it into Zhanbai's hand, "You guys get ready, let's go in later." ”
"We? I'm ...... She? Zhan Bai was a little stunned and pointed to the woman in red who hadn't spoken all the way.
"This entry into the third mile is extremely weird, and it has a great weakening and suppression of our Xuan cultivators. Therefore, this time, Senior Brother Fu and I are mainly outside to pick up. Liu Chengying said noncommittally.
Regardless of whether what Liu Chengying said is true or an excuse, but judging from his expression, he is definitely serious.
Zhan Bai didn't say any nonsense about refusal, it was all on the ground, the so-called bow had no turning back, and now he could only rely on himself, fortunately, the harsh environment of this swampy jungle was still within the range he could accept, but it was just ......
"I'll go in alone." Zhan Bai said very bluntly, "As for her...... I can't trust. ”
"Hmph." The woman in red snorted coldly with an expressionless face, but she didn't say anything.
"No, there must be fierce beasts guarding the smoke flower, and there is no way for a person to pick it up, not to mention, there are enemies in it who don't know." Liu Chengying refused without hesitation, and at the same time, there was a white jade box in his hand again, "After the smoke flower is picked, immediately put it into the jade box, so that it can stop its withering." ”
At this point, Zhan Bai didn't say anything, but after taking the jade box, he naturally distanced himself from the woman in red.
No matter what Liu Chengying said, and no matter what the identity of the woman in red was, Zhanbai still didn't have the slightest sense of trust in her, which had nothing to do with the strength of the woman in red, but because of habit. Ten years of devastation made him dare not trust anyone easily.
"This sword, although it is not a famous weapon, is strong and sharp, so let's use it." Liu Chengying was like a moving treasure trove, and in the blink of an eye, a three-foot Qingfeng long sword inexplicably appeared in his hand and handed it to Zhanbai.
Qiang!!
The long sword came out of the sheath, and a chill came from the surface, and with a flick of his fingers, the sword roared.
"Good sword."
The person who uses the sword must also be an expert in the sword, although he has just taken over, but just at a glance, Zhanbai is sure that this is definitely the best long sword he has ever used.
"It's almost an hour before the fireworks bloom, and you're ready to act." Liu Chengying glanced at the funnel in his hand and said, perhaps sensing Zhanbai's strange eyes, he couldn't help pouting and said: "Don't look at it, I don't have the ability to make something out of nothing, it's just some little tricks, you will know if you have the opportunity in the future." ”
Even so, Zhan Bai still glanced at Liu Chengying more, then turned around, his feet were light, and the whole person was like a piece of fluttering, rising from the ground unhurriedly and landing on a big tree three feet away.
Seeing that Zhan Bai was about to plunge into the jungle, the woman in red nodded to Fu Manlou and followed.
……
"Senior Brother Liu, there is no one around now, can you tell me, what are the side effects of the pyrotechnic flower?" Fu Manlou said suddenly.
"Yanjihua, among the treasures of heaven and earth that I know, is domineering, and it is enough to rank among the top three. The reason why it is said to be domineering is not only because it can change the effect of improving the attributes of the innate spiritual root, but also because of its side effects. Liu Chengying seemed to have guessed that Fu Manlou would not give up, and sighed, "Once you take Yanjihua, then it also means that except for the wound medicine that does not contain aura, any pill will have no effect on you." ”
Hiss!!!!
Hearing this, Fu Manlou almost exclaimed.
For a person who cultivates in the occult, although his own qualifications and efforts are extremely important, the elixir is even more indispensable, and he really can't imagine what kind of disaster it will be if the elixir has no effect on a person who cultivates in the occult realm. At the same time, he was extremely curious in his heart, since this smoke flower was so weird, why was this Senior Brother Liu so concerned, was it just to be used as an adjuvant medicine? Or......
Thinking of a possibility, Fu Manlou couldn't help but set his eyes on Zhanbai, who was already far away.
