Volume 1 Never with a Sword Chapter 16 The Great Immortal
When the moon rose, Fang Feng fell to the ground in the white moonlight, and shouted feverishly to Heishuitan: "Great Immortal, Great Immortal!" ”
Tu Shi was dumbfounded, what kind of play is this? After a long time, the water in the pool is not a water ghost or a monster, but a fairy? He suddenly realized that he was standing still and could be easily noticed, so he quickly ducked aside.
Fang Feng shouted "Great Immortal" a few times, and began to chatter, Tu Shi was far away, and he couldn't hear clearly, only hearing "rescue", "sanction", "boundless mana" or something. After chattering for about a quarter of an hour, there was a rumbling thunder, and even the surface of the pool water trembled, Fang Feng seemed to be inspired by someone, held up the mountain boar ribs beside him with both hands, straightened up his upper body and cried and laughed, this time his voice was much louder: "Daxian, give those fools sanctions!" Only destruction can have new life, only sanctions can save! Daisen! I offer a sacrifice here, please lower your wrath and punish this village! ”
This...... Fang Feng, is your puberty still not over?
Tu Shi couldn't laugh or cry, but still chose to continue to monitor. He noticed that with Fang Feng's prayer, bubbles emerged from the depths of the pool and exploded, each bubble was the size of a watermelon, and it exploded very loudly. Then, a big toad jumped ashore - damn it, how could there be a toad the size of an adult earth dog! This toad is a toad, with pimples all over its body, black and brown in color, nothing surprising, except that the size is unbelievably large!
This is called Daisen? Genetically mutated toads? However, Huo Xiang's conjecture was confirmed that there were indeed toads living in Heishuitan, and their toads were mixed in the water, making the back mountain free of snakes.
Fang Feng was overjoyed, and respectfully handed the boar ribs to the big toad. The big toad looked at the meat steak that was bigger than it, and croaked twice, so two more big toads jumped ashore! It's a social creature! Having said that, if this kind of big toad lives in groups, it is not impossible for Fang Feng to get an urn of "toad ghee", after all, a big toad tops a hundred ordinary toads, and the output of its toad crisp must be calculated a hundred times; As for the top quality of "toad ghee", it is also explained, the big toad is born with a different species at first glance, and its toad crisp should be extraordinary, so that the water is rich in toxins, it is not surprising that it can repel snakes.
Three big toads appeared at the same time, Fang Feng understood, picked up a firewood knife and chopped the ribs into three parts, this time the toads were satisfied, they opened their mouths one after another, stuck the meat steak with their long tongues, swallowed it in one gulp, and then turned around and jumped into the pool water. Fang Feng was overjoyed and bowed again and again, as if the water splashed on him by the big toad was a blessing.

When I was chatting with Orion Shiba Tiger last night......
"There's something wrapped around my waist like a snake and wants to drag me down, and I reach out and touch it, oh my god, it's as cold as a corpse, it's not alive!"
……………………………………
Tu Shi thought to himself: Chai Hu had the experience of being haunted by water ghosts when he was young, could it be that he encountered a big toad, and mistook the cold tongue of the ectotherm animal for the water ghost arm? …… Just dare to be a hunter? ……
Another mystery is solved, but it contradicts one of the most important clues, "Huang Er's cow was eaten". The toad has no teeth, can't tear the meat steak, and has to ask Fang Feng for help, so how can a scalper who is bigger than the big toad say that if he can't see it, he won't see it? Is Huang Er lying? No, we have to find a time to ask, this most unreliable rumor may hide an important secret.
After a while, the big toad jumped up again and croaked to Fang Feng. Fang Feng took out a small bowl from his arms, and the big toad spit out white paste into the bowl, which was about "toad ghee". OK, it turns out that Fang Feng obtained "Toad Ghee" through "sacrifice", and for this reason he also used an axe to trade pork with the player.
Are these big toads monsters? How many levels? It's a pity that I can't get close and observe. The big toad returned to the pool and never looked up again, and Fang Feng also turned around and prepared to leave. The benevolent brother's face was not very good-looking under the moonlight, and Tu Shi estimated that it should be because he only received plasters as a gift for each sacrifice, and did not "punish this village" according to his wishes. What's not to be satisfied with? If you let the player know that pork can continue to be exchanged for high-grade materials, and don't break your head and rush to change it?
In this case, Huo Xiang doesn't have to ask Fang Feng for help, as long as he brings pork, the big toad will probably give him "toad ghee" as well. Seeing Fang Feng disappear on the mountain road, Tu Shicai got up and walked to the edge of the pool, hesitated, and knelt on the ground and shouted: "Great Immortal, Great Immortal!" ”
Damn, don't be seen like this!
A toad's head surfaced, and somehow, Tu Shi always felt that the toad's eyes conveyed "why are you still not letting people sleep". He took out the pork from the storage bag and cut it into a few pieces, and at the same time took out the empty bottle given by Huo Xiang and looked at the big toad with flattery. The big toad dived down, and after more than ten seconds, he jumped up with two companions and walked through the procedure, so Tu Shi had an extra bottle of "toad ghee" in his hand. Sure enough, these guys are mothers when they have milk, and they don't care whether it's NPCs or players who deliver meat.
On the way back, he made a big circle to avoid the villagers who were keeping vigil in the ridges, and Tu Shi came to Huo Xiang's house. The doctor closed the door and couldn't help asking, "How's it going?" "There was anticipation on his face.
Tu Shi put the bottle on the table, and turned to twist the water in the corner of his clothes: "You listen to me slowly." ”
Listening to what the strong man saw and heard, Huo Xiang was first surprised, then delighted, and finally shook his head in disgust: "Brother Fang is a person who has seen the world, and he can't imagine that he is so ignorant, and he actually treats a toad as a great immortal!" It's a pity, it's a pity! ”
Go to the market to sell firewood and see the world? …… Wouldn't this be a little lower?
System Prompt: Complete your quest "Investigate the Water Source" and get a reward: a few experience points.
The experience points of this task are too powerful, and Tu Shi instantly rose to level 7. The problem of water source has been solved, but Huo Xiang is still worried: "No, I have to persuade Brother Fang, he is a little arrogant now." Although it is normal for people to be angry at their parents because they have been insulted, it is not the husband's work to be angry with the whole village and ask for help from the ethereal ghosts. ”
"You're going to get straight to the point?" Tu Shi felt that Huo Xiang was really good, and he had a similar childhood situation to Fang Feng, but he made different choices when he became an adult: one was resentment and anger, and the other was cherishing and helping.
"yes. He is now living alone, but he can't live to die alone. He should be integrated into our ...... His roots are here, and that will never change. ”
————————————————————————————————————
The next day online, Tu Shi saw that things had taken an amazing turn:
Huo Xiang was twisted by several young villagers, and he involuntarily walked to the house where the chief of the security department sealed Youjing. His hat was knocked off, his hair was disheveled, his long beard was torn a few times, and his eyes were obviously punched, which was very miserable. Tu Shi was shocked and came over to ask what was going on, and the villagers replied:
"This dog thief has the audacity to poison a well! Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise it would have ...... People look like dogs, I didn't expect to be able to do such a thing, it's really ruthless! ”
The villager who spoke punched Huo Xiang's waist, and the pain made Huo Xiang's waist bend unnaturally. Tu Shi hadn't fully understood the content of the villagers' words, and when he saw Huo Xiang being abused, he was about to stop him, but he saw Huo Xiang squeezing his eyes with a reluctant smile, signaling him to be calm. The black left eye was swollen so high that it was extremely difficult to even "squeeze".
So Tu Shi watched the doctor being escorted away.
Poisoned...... Poisoned...... Be calm, what's going on with poisoning, is Huo Xiang so vicious in his heart?
……………………………………
When I was chatting with Huo Xiang yesterday......
"Aren't you already chronically poisoned?"
"Definitely. It is a three-part poison, and in other words, poisonous water can also be used in medicine. Poisonous water has a pungent taste and cold nature, and can treat pit viper or rabies bites, treat children's chancre and large abdomen, and can also cure evil spirits. I use frankincense, myrrh, bezoar, and alum to neutralize the medicinal properties, but they have the effect of nourishing yin and replenishing yang. As long as one pot of liquid medicine is boiled and poured into the well every month, every household can have no worries. ”
"Oh! That's what you asked me to collect herbs for! ”
……
"A strong man is very powerful! After I finish boiling the medicine, you can also help me pour it in the village well! But remember to do it when no one is around, and it's not good if people think you're trying to poison the villagers. ”
……………………………………
A few conversations flashed in Tu Shi's heart. Huo Xiang must have been caught secretly dropping the potion liquid, but it was not a poison, but an antidote! is obviously doing a good deed, but being treated as a poisoner, how wronged is this? It's hard for Huo Xiang to laugh! No, we have to go and testify for him!
Outside the chief's house, there was a large group of angry villagers. The man scolded loudly and angrily, and spat loudly from time to time; The woman cried and grabbed the ground, cursing Huo Xiang with all kinds of vicious words. The player stands on the periphery of the villagers, forming another group, and is very interested in this matter, but because they have not received the relevant tasks, no matter how interested they are, they will not take any action for this matter, appearing restrained and indifferent. No one came forward to speak for Huo Xiang, and there was not a good word in Tu Shi's ears, and people who didn't know the inside story would probably mistakenly think that Huo Xiang was a murderer, or that he had been reincarnated as a murderer for ten consecutive lifetimes. Tu Shi listened very unpleasantly, pushed away the people in front of him, and walked into the courtyard of the chief of the guard's house.
Old man Feng Youjing appeared and stretched out his hand to stop: "Boy, what are you doing here?" ”
"Huo Xiang is innocent."
"Oh? Don't talk nonsense, murdering the township is a big crime, and the ancestors and ancestors will be angry when they hear it. ”
"Really, that's not poisoning, it's detoxification!"
"Ridiculous! Poisonous snakes can't enter the village, what poison can we get! ”
"It's not snake venom, it's poison in the water! If it weren't for Mr. Huo, you would have nausea and diarrhea all year round! Tu Shi immediately told Huo Xiang about boiling medicine, and as for Fang Feng and the big toad, he didn't press it.
Old Man Feng listened expressionlessly and said, "One side of the word!" You ask who would believe it here? ”
Tu Shi Yu stopped. Huo Xiang's relationship with the villagers was not good, which left him alone. Oh, no, there is another person who is in the same situation as Huo Xiang, and he is relatively close to Huo Xiang - the woodcutter Fang Feng! If the player's testimony is useless, what about the NPC's? "Looking for Fang Feng! Fang Feng knows Huo Xiang's character, Huo Xiang will not harm anyone! ”
Old Man Feng frowned: "It was Fang Feng who reported Huo Xiang for poisoning." ”
