042. Granny Kim
Granny Jin lives on a remote hillside in Shuiling Peak. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There is a small fenced courtyard on the slope.
In such a humble place, it is hard to believe that there is a foundation monk living in it.
Zhang Fanfan stood outside the fence courtyard and shouted: "May I ask if Granny Jin is here, Zhang Fanfan, a disciple of Shui Lingfeng, has come to visit my mother-in-law, I have taken over the medicine boy task issued by my mother-in-law, and I also ask my mother-in-law to allow me to enter." ”
Zhang Fanfan waited for a long time, but still didn't wait for a reply.
But she was not in a hurry, nor did she step into the small courtyard without permission, but kept her original posture and stood outside the door.
This Granny Jin is very mysterious, Zhang Fanfan doesn't know anything except that she is an alchemist.
Since you don't know the depth of the other party, it's better to keep silent.
I don't know how long I stood outside the courtyard, until the stars twinkled, and the courtyard door was opened.
An old woman with a silver hair full of frost came out of the house.
The old woman built the foundation for the great perfection of cultivation, her back was slightly hunched, and her eyes were full of yin owls.
Obviously, this person is Granny Kim.
"Come in." After she had said this, she turned and went into the hut.
Zhang Fanfan hurriedly followed.
The hut looks small, but there is a hole in it.
Turning around, Zhang Fanfan was taken to a pavilion and water pavilion.
The water pavilion is full of colorful spiritual flowers, and there is a stone pavilion in the middle.
Linghua was too delicate, Zhang Fanfan couldn't help but look at it twice, but she saw Sensen's white bones in the soil, she couldn't help shivering, and suddenly felt cold all around.
Granny Jin showed a weird smile on her face, pointed to the water pavilion and said, "You are limited to picking a hundred blood thorn lotuses within half an hour." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Fanfan took out the jade shovel and was about to drive the flying boat to pick lotuses, but suddenly felt a spiritual light flying behind her, she hurriedly dodged to avoid it, and the flying boat was smashed in half and fell into the water pavilion.
"Zizi" twice, and a flying magic weapon was corroded by the sludge in the water pavilion.
Zhang Fanfan was shocked, if it was her who had just fallen into the water pavilion, she would inevitably become a pile of white bones!
Thinking like this, she suddenly glanced at Granny Jin, I don't know why the other party wanted to attack her?!
Granny Jin turned a blind eye to Zhang Fanfan's gaze: "The Blood Thorn Lotus absorbs the blood and bones of the demon beast and is born, once it is out of the place where it grows, the medicinal effect will be greatly reduced, and the only way is to feed it with the blood of the lotus picker when picking the lotus, so as to retain the medicinal effect to the greatest extent." ”
As he spoke, he sneered and said, "So who gave you permission to use a jade shovel?" With your hands! And it's not allowed to wrap spiritual power in your hands! Do you understand?! ”
Hearing this, Zhang Fanfan was shocked and angry in his heart.
Who doesn't use a jade shovel to pick a blood thorn lotus?
When the blood thorn lotus grows, it absorbs too much beast blood, causing its thorns to be full of blood poison, and if you grab it with your bare hands, it will definitely enter the body.
Although blood poison can be dissolved with spiritual power, the process of poisoning and poisoning is painful and very tolerable.
So even if it was known that the Blood Sacrifice method would retain its maximum efficacy, no one would do it.
Zhang Fanfan didn't expect that the first time she met with Granny Jin, the other party gave her such a dismissal.
No wonder this task has been stranded and no one has taken it, this person is really difficult to deal with.
"If you don't pick it up, you can go, don't get in my way." Granny Jin said lightly, but Zhang Fanfan frowned.
She didn't think about it for too long, and directly performed a light decision, jumped on the water pavilion, and reached out to pick lotus.
The fingertips were pierced by barbs, blood beads rolled down the lotus, and a piercing pain attacked Zhang Fanfan, her face was pale for a moment, but soon returned to her normal color.
Seeing this, Granny Jin was a little surprised.
It is not for nothing that those who dare to pick lotus with their bare hands, but like Zhang Fanfan, picking one flower after another, the whole hand has trembled to the point of twisting, but he still keeps running on the water pavilion......
It was as if those heart-wrenching blood thorns had not pierced her hands, and it was the first time she had seen such amazing willpower.
Time passed little by little, and just as Zhang Fanfan was about to complete his task, something happened in the stone pavilion.
"Ah~!" I only heard Granny Jin scream, and suddenly fell to the ground, her expression was very painful.
"Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Fanfan hurriedly jumped into the stone pavilion.
Granny Jin trembled violently, she raised her hand with difficulty, pointed to the stone room on the side and said, "Where is it...... 1st Grid...... Red Pill ......"
Zhang Fanfan hurriedly ran to the stone room and took out the pill.
"Come~! Mother-in-law, take it quickly!"
After taking the pill, Granny Kim stopped trembling and her face returned to normal.
But when she sobered up, the first thing she did was to slap Zhang Fanfan away.
"Hmm~!" Zhang Fanfan's throat was sweet, and a trace of dark blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Who told you to come near me!" A trace of vigilance and fierceness flashed in Granny Kim's eyes, as if she had forgotten what had just happened.
Zhang Fanfan wiped off the blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and did not speak, only clenched the porcelain bottle in his hand.
Granny Jin glanced at the porcelain vase in Zhang Fanfan's hand, as if she remembered something, although the fierce color in her eyes eased, she was still deeply guarded.
"You go back."
Zhang Fanfan paused for a moment, and the hand holding the bottle trembled slightly.
She was about to finish picking the Blood Thorn Lotus, but now she let her go...... She was naturally not convinced, but what was the use of this, in this world, only the strong can speak.
Zhang Fanfan turned around and left, and suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Remember to come to me tomorrow, I want to retreat for alchemy, before I finish refining the pill, you must finish picking the remaining blood thorn lotus......"
Shuiling Peak, the edge of the cliff.
The cold moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and Zhang Fanfan held two sleeping wolf cubs and sat alone on the edge of the cliff.
These two wolf cubs were entrusted to Zhang Fanfan by the fourth-order silver wolf on his deathbed.
After Zhang Fanfan brought them back to the Five Elements Sect, they often fell into a deep sleep, as if the medicinal effect of the Qingfeng Fruit was too strong, and the wolf cubs couldn't absorb it for a while, so they fell asleep frequently.
Zhang Fanfan hugged the two of them, blowing a cold wind.
Thinking back on everything he experienced today, Zhang Fanfan couldn't help but sigh.
Whether it was picking blood lotus with bare hands, or saving people from being chopped off, she really couldn't see through this golden mother-in-law, but fortunately she stayed in the end without danger.
"Ahem~!" Zhang Fanfan covered his chest and coughed lightly, although the blood poison on his hands had been cleared, he received a real slap in his chest.
The so-called eating a trench and growing a wisdom, since she has personally learned the strange temper of Granny Jin, she must pay attention to it in the future.
"Sister Xiaofan, I've been looking for you for a long time, so you're here~!"
Hua Gu hugged the little pig and found the edge of the cliff.
Zhang Fanfan said: "Why are you here?" ”
"I ...... I heard that Granny Kim has a bad temper, so ...... A little worried about your ......"
Zhang Fanfan's heart warmed: "What is there to worry about, you see, isn't it good now." ”
"That's good," Hua Gu breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly took out a storage bag and handed it to Zhang Fanfan: "Sister Xiaofan, this is for you ......"
Zhang Fanfan opened the storage bag and found that there were thousands of spirit stones and a number of pills in it, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
But I heard Hua Gu say slowly: "Sister Xiaofan, do you know, I was in the steward that day, and I ...... I'm actually quite scared, I'm afraid they'll laugh at me, so when they point fingers at me, I ...... I can't wait to find a hole in the ground...... The master always said that she would protect me for the rest of my life, but ......" As she spoke, Hua Gu's eyes were red and she said, "But she still left first, leaving me alone is really scary......"
"Hua Gu, don't be afraid, you were very brave that day." Zhang Fanfan patted her on the back.
Hua Gu wiped away her tears, nodded firmly, and said: "Well, it was Sister Xiaofan who gave me strength, and I will be as brave as Sister Xiaofan in the future, if the dog bites me, I will beat it down!" ”
Seeing Hua Gu's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, Zhang Fanfan didn't feel it.
Suddenly, he thought of the storage bag in his hand, and asked, "You have this ambition very well, but why did you hand me this thing?" ”
Hua Gu blushed and said, "I'...... I see that Sister Xiaofan, you often have to do tasks, and even went to be Granny Jin's medicine boy, so I guess Sister Xiaofan, you must be very short of spirit stone pills, so ......"
"So you gave me your spirit stone and elixir?"
Seeing Hua Gu nodding, Zhang Fanfan poked her head distressedly: "I praised you for being smart just now, why did you suddenly return to your original form, since you are determined to become stronger, how can you be assisted by the spirit stone pill!" What do you do if you give it to me? Besides, even if I lack spirit stones, I won't ask you for them, you have to remember that if you want to become strong, you must first have a heart of self-improvement. ”
Hua Gu nodded as if she didn't understand.
Zhang Fanfan suddenly felt that this cold night seemed to be very warm.
Even the bad mood before was swept away.
