439. Residual poison
In this case, he was simply generous, and let Father Qian owe a large amount of favors, with his credit, he was afraid that he would be willing to die instead of his body.
Thinking of this, Ye Zitong took out three porcelain bottles from the storage bag and handed them to the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man took the porcelain bottles and opened them one by one and smelled them, and his face changed instantly.
"This, this is all health pills, a total of thirty-six pills......"
Father Qian and the middle-aged man all looked at Ye Zitong in surprise, their eyes flickering, obviously guessing Ye Zitong's intentions.
"Two seniors, I just hope that everyone can have no worries, the trip to the Earth Demon Cave is unpredictable, if you can't fully cooperate, I'm afraid it will be a lot more difficult. The two seniors did their best for their friends and descendants, and Father Qian was even more willing to take his injuries out of the mountain, which shows that the two righteous Bo Yuntian, it is my blessing to have two companions. ”
"Jade girl, thirty-six pills of health pills are really not a small amount, enough to buy the lives of a few of us and others......"
"The seniors misunderstood, I didn't want a few people to sell their lives to me, I just felt that only by doing our best could we come out alive together. To tell you the truth, there are only a few pills of health pills, maybe others will take it as a treasure, but I didn't take it to heart. I'm on the road, and this thing hasn't entered my eyes yet...... Besides, I think this child must be destined for me, although this is a bit inauthentic to say, but if it weren't for the sudden illness of this child, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to explain the two seniors in this life. It's such a coincidence, I just have the pill he needs, this is fate. The seniors don't have to think about it, just accept the elixir, which can save the child's life. It can be regarded as a good relationship between me and him. ”
Father Qian and the middle-aged man stared at Ye Zitong for a long time, and neither of them expected Ye Zitong to say such atmospheric words. After a long time, Daddy Qian finally said. "Okay, now it's up to me to make the decision, accept the girl's elixir, and form this good relationship with the girl for this child. I have lived for a hundred years, and it is rare to see someone who is as cheerful as a girl, even if it is in my generation, it is difficult to have a ...... like you who can afford to put it down."
The middle-aged man listened to Daddy Qian agree to accept the pill. was overjoyed in her heart, and the woman crying next to her also understood, and hurriedly knelt in front of Ye Zitong and shouted thank you.
Ye Zitong was busy and said no. "Everyone will live and die together in the future, so don't talk about these false courtesies."
"Jade girl is refreshing," Father Qian's eyes were blazing, and he seemed to be very satisfied with Ye Zitong. "That being the case. Let's follow Miss Yu on this business, from now on, we are brothers in a team, I don't hide some things, Miss Jade come with me, let's talk on the other side. ”
Father Qian did not take Ye Zitong's own residence, but entered another family.
"This is the home of the Cai brothers, both of whom are from Orion. I've been in the Earth Demon Cave three times," Father Qian pointed to the two people in the room and introduced Ye Zitong. Turning his head, he instructed one of them, "Old 2, you go and call Li Daban and Zhao Dalong, and everyone will come to meet our employer." ”
"Okay." Cai Lao 2 left in response.
Boss Cai moved a chair for Ye Zitong and Daddy Qian to sit on, "You sit first, I'll go boil water and make tea for everyone." ”
Seeing that Boss Cai turned around and went out, Daddy Qian only cared about the cigarette pouch, and it seemed that he was ready to speak when everyone arrived, so Ye Zitong looked around at the house of the Cai brothers.
Looking at the bow and quiver hanging on the wall, Ye Zitong knew in his heart that Daddy Qian could choose her, which was somewhat related to the wooden fish bow on her back, and it was likely that Daddy Qian, like her, attached more importance to long-range attacks.
When Cai Lao 2, Li Daban, and Zhao Dalong came over, Cai Lao Da's tea was also served on the table.
Daddy Qian first introduced these four, the Cai brothers were born in Orion and are good at tracking and finding traps, Li Daban and Zhao Dalong are both from butchers, and their weapons are all big knives, and they are famous for being fast and accurate. In addition to these four, the Doctor Su that Ye Zitong had seen in the first place would also be with them.
This trip to the Earth Demon Cave, counting Ye Zitong, their team has a total of seven people, which is relatively small. According to Ye Zitong's inquiry, the most common team is about ten people, while some big family sects are twenty or thirty people acting together.
However, the number of people in the team is not expensive, and there are few people and few people. Ye Zitong feels that there are fewer people, it is easier to command, and it is more mobile and flexible.
"Jade girl, do you know why we chose you?" Daddy Qian suddenly asked.
Ye Zitong thought for a while and replied, "Because of my bow and my light skills?" ”
Daddy Qian nodded, "That's right, we just took a fancy to you knowing how to bow and arrow, and your light skills are also very good, not because you have a health pill ......."
"I understand, Daddy Qian is not a person who sees medicine, you must make a decision for the good of everyone, and you will choose me if you think I am suitable."
Daddy Qian took a puff of his cigarette and continued, "Many people think that entering the Earth Demon Cave requires strong martial arts to earn land and survive others, but those of us who have entered it know that in the Earth Demon Cave, it is not by killing people to survive, on the contrary, those who open the killing ring inside are the first to die...... Also, although people who enter and exit the Demon Cave will lose their memories inside, people like me who have been in and out many times will not completely forget what happened inside, and sometimes, there will be memory fragments that flash through their minds......"
Ye Zitong looked at Daddy Qian, and was surprised in his heart, it turned out that this was the case, no wonder the acquired masters would be so popular, it turned out that they were not ignorant of the affairs of the Earth Demon Cave, no wonder even if Daddy Qian was seriously injured, there were still so many people who wanted to hire him, his memory was more important than his skills as an acquired master.
"Since the last time I came back from the Earth Demon Cave, I was seriously injured, and every time the wound hurts, I think of something, and there is always a shadow in these things, and that shadow is...... Demon beasts. Daddy Qian smacked his cigarette pouch as he spoke, as if his pain had been done again.
"Demon beasts? So, Daddy's injuries were left by demon beasts? Ye Zitong asked.
Father Qian nodded, "The injuries on my body have healed, but there is still the residual poison of the demon beast in my body, and I can't completely remove it." ”
It turned out to be the cruelty of the demon beast, no wonder Daddy Qian's acquired master's physique coupled with more than ten years of recuperation still can't be cured. Demon beasts, so far Ye Zitong has no experience in dealing with demon beasts. I have only seen Tingmei kill demon beasts, and it doesn't seem to be very difficult.
"An old fellow of mine...... Even the child's grandfather, he had remembered something before. I remember him saying that the baby grass blooms before it bears fruit, and it blooms for two hours before it bears fruit......"
"Two hours of flowers? Wouldn't these two hours become the most critical time......" Ye Zitong was surprised, she hadn't expected this situation.
"Not only that, according to our analysis, the flowering of Tianying grass will definitely not be so simple. The fruit of the heavenly infant grass can give birth to human beings to obtain the acquired spiritual root, and the flowers of the heavenly infant grass can be ...... It is likely to be of great benefit to the demon beasts, otherwise why would there be demon beasts in the Earth Demon Cave? The demon beasts in the Earth Demon Cave are by no means comparable to those low-level demon beasts that mistakenly broke through the spatial cracks. To leave such a wound on my body, it is at least a second-order demon beast......"
The Earth Demon Cave was controlled by the Dry Sea Elder with nearly a hundred formations, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi were artificially gathered there, probably violating the laws of space, so the Earth Demon Cave area would often produce spatial cracks. Especially the closer it is to the ripening day of the baby grass. The more chaotic the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi on the Earth Demon Cave became. The higher the chance of causing a spatial rift. By the time the Earth Demon Cave opens, it is estimated that the spatial cracks inside will be indispensable.
The spatial rift not only brings unknown things, but also kills everything in seconds. However, it takes time for a spatial crack to occur, and it can be avoided in time to detect spatial fluctuations with the spirit disk, so people are not afraid of the damage of the spatial crack itself, but are more worried about what it brings.
"Ordinary low-level demon beasts are just stronger beasts, and once the demon beasts are advanced, they will have the strength of a monk...... "Father Qian said.
"Advanced demon beasts? But isn't it true that the monk can't enter the Earth Demon Cave? Why can monsters? Isn't that fair? Ye Zitong asked.
Daddy Qian shook his head, "This kind of thing has nothing to do with fairness. I think this is most likely a loophole in the Dry Sea Elder when he arranged the Earth Demon Cave back then, he may have ignored the impact of the Juyuan Array on the space, and he didn't expect that there would be demon beasts entering the Earth Demon Cave through the spatial crack. However, the level of demon beasts that can enter the Earth Demon Cave is not too high, and it should be between the first and third orders. ”
Third-order demon beasts, that is equivalent to a Jindan monk, if you really encounter it, then you can only escape.
"The Cai family brothers have rich hunting experience, and often help the monks in the Earth Demon Cave District hunt demon beasts, they know how to distinguish the level of demon beasts, and are familiar with the habits of demon beasts, in the Earth Demon Cave, the safest way is to find demon beasts in advance and avoid them."
Ye Zitong nodded, fighting with demon beasts is indeed not suitable for hard fighting.
“…… Doctor Su will prepare some venom, but apply it to your arrows, and the Tianma Powder and Seven Absolute Soup you use are okay to deal with people, but the medicinal properties are a little worse against demon beasts. In addition, before leaving, it is best for everyone to try to cooperate, I will say hello to the monks patrolling nearby, and once I find a suitable monster, we will try it together. Also, during this time, I will go to the auction with you to have a look and collect a few sets of good defensive formations and spirit tools......"
Daddy Qian said his plan, and several people discussed it together, and finally determined what everyone needed to do later. It's only been a little over a month since the Earth Demon Cave opened, and they still have a lot to prepare.
In the following days, Ye Zitong was even busier, following Father Qian to various auctions, and going to kill demon beasts with everyone, sometimes he couldn't go home all day, and sometimes he could only stay at home for a while at night.
Ye Zitong was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, but Tingmei's cultivation was not going well, and he finally encountered a bottleneck. These days, Ye Zitong's brothers and sisters rarely meet, and she naturally didn't notice that Tingmei was wrong.
Finally came to the last day, tomorrow is the day when the Earth Demon Cave is open, and Daddy Qian has given everyone a holiday, so that everyone can have a good rest on this day.
On this morning, Ye Zitong saw Tingmei and finally found out that Tingmei was wrong, but she didn't have any good way to help Tingmei break through, so she could only persuade him to suspend his cultivation first and strengthen his state of mind.
At noon, the neighbors of Shuangyu Street held a banquet to see off Ye Zitong, the neighbors are enthusiastic people, although they are not necessarily familiar with each other, but everyone will help them if they have something, and Ye Zitong is also very grateful to them.
It's a pity that Sun Xiucai actually went out, Ye Zitong didn't see him at the banquet, and then she remembered that she didn't seem to have seen Sun Xiucai for a long time......
This last day has been spent like this, and tomorrow will enter the Earth Demon Cave, Ye Zitong still has uneasiness and irritability in his heart after all.
On the willow tip of the moon, Ye Zitong meditated unintentionally, standing in front of the window in a daze. Time flies, it was winter when she first returned from Hurricane Gap, and now four months have passed, and it is the season of flowers.
For a while, Ye Zitong felt a little melancholy. Entering the Earth Demon Cave was the greatest expectation of Lin's father and Lin's mother back then, and it was also Ye Zitong's own choice. When she was a child, Mother Lin stole herb essence for her to drink regardless of the punishment of being discovered by the sect, and later, when her parents disappeared, Ye Zitong had the heart to take revenge, and she was even more determined to enter the Earth Demon Cave. Tomorrow, this wish will come true, but this trip is not accompanied by Lin's father and mother.
The song of the singer's resentment faintly came from the night sky, which became more and more sultry in this quiet night. Ye Zitong was deaf and bright-eyed, and couldn't help but be attracted by the singing, and came all the way to the shore of Bibo Lake.
Ye Zitong stood on the shore of the lake and looked at the flower boat in the lake, leaning on the red mansion across the river, and the figure of the dancer on the flower boat was reflected on the window lattice through the candlelight, which was even more swaying.
I don't know when it rained in the sky, and it was dripping and wet.
Ye Zitong glanced at the plaque of the Intoxication Pavilion, and his expression returned to normal in just a moment. Spells that confuse people's hearts can be dissolved as long as they are mentally prepared and hold the Yuan Shouyi.
Standing in the intoxicating pavilion, watching the dots fall on the surface of the lake, drawing a circle, the breeze blowing the willows, and stirring a pool of spring water.
In the fireworks alley, the man in white walked slowly, the umbrella in his hand covering his face. Ye Zitong smiled slightly, just looking at her figure, she could also recognize people.
Sun Xiucai walked into the Intoxication Pavilion, took the umbrella and put it aside, and looked at Ye Zitong with a smile.
"Brother Xiucai hasn't seen you for a long time," Ye Zitong also smiled, several times when he met Sun Xiucai coming out of the fireworks alley, but how to look at him, he didn't look like a person lingering in the flowers, "Fireworks alley, no fat powder, brother Xiucai, but I found an elegant place in that fireworks alley, and I didn't even remember to return to my send-off banquet?" ”
Seeing the smile on Sun Xiucai's face, Ye Zitong's tone unconsciously brought some complaints.
"If I don't remember, it's too late to rush back, so I ask Miss Yu to forgive me." Sun Xiucai pretended to make a gesture at Ye Zitong.
Sun Xiucai, who has not been seen for a long time, seems to be different from before, the scoundrel has a lot less twisting, adding a bit of unexpected chic, which makes Ye Zitong look a little stunned, such a "sour Xiucai" is really rare. Ye Zitong secretly laughed in his heart, blaming himself for being too emotional tonight, blaming the slanting wind and drizzle and the word "intoxicated".
"It seems that I haven't seen you for months, I don't think you want to participate in the affairs of the Earth Demon Cave, there must be other important things, I don't know what to say to me?" Sun Xiucai is not a person who practices martial arts, he has never been enthusiastic about the affairs of the Earth Demon Cave, and he doesn't care much about his family's business, so Ye Zitong is very interested in what he is busy with.
"I came down to look for the girl to talk about it, Xiaosheng will go to Beijing in a few days to catch the exam, and most of this time I will not come back, I don't say goodbye to the jade girl at this time, I'm afraid that there will be no chance in the future......," Sun Xiucai said.
"Rushing to Beijing to take the exam?" Ye Zitong was a little surprised by Sun Xiucai's words, she always thought that Sun Xiucai's reading was just a sour pretend, but she didn't expect him to be serious......
"A good boy has ambitions in all directions, lives in the market, and is not what I want to be a dealer and merchant," Sun Xiucai replied seriously, "I wasted my time for several years before the next generation, and I was fortunate enough to meet the jade girl, which is really the greatest luck in my life." As a daughter, you are not bound by yourself, whether you are cultivating or going to the Earth Demon Cave, you don't have the support of your family, and your only brother is still an unreliable wood, but even so, you didn't retreat. Look at your mind, so that our generation has no place to be ashamed. I think about it, I can't do nothing like this anymore, otherwise I will have the face to face you......"
Ye Zitong was funny in his heart, according to what he said, she inspired him, this "sour showman" still likes to think so much. (To be continued......)
