Chapter 9 Thousand Zhang's Wild Mountain
The order to prepare for war was suddenly announced by the patriarch, and the order came in a hurry, like a hundred thousand in a hurry. However, this preparation for battle had neither accurate enemies nor predictable rumors. The Manshan tribe has not been at war for decades, and it has always been peaceful, and there has been no friction between tribes in recent days, but this order to prepare for war was announced so abruptly that it even made people confused.
"Could it be that the Jiuze Department is going to war with our Barbarian Mountain Department again?"
"No, I haven't heard from them in years. ”
"Do you want the beast to attack?"
The clansmen were all chattering and discussing. But now that the order has been given, everyone does not dare to ask more, and they still trust the patriarch's decision very much. Since the patriarch said that there seems to be a war, something will definitely happen. So the patriarch who knew how to hold the weapon began to forge the blade, and the clansmen who knew how to make armor began to make war armor for every man who could fight in the barbarians. The men of the hunting party accelerated their hunting into the wilderness to hunt more and more of their game every day, which was to be salted and dried by the barbarian women for a long time.
At night, in the patriarch's stone house, Jing Nanduan sat in front of the patriarch, he slowly tasted a cup of tea and soup, his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he had something on his mind.
"More than half a month has passed, and Beiling, who participated in the blood ceremony, has become a barbarian at the first level of blood coagulation. The patriarch sighed: "He is really a good seedling of cultivation, no worse than the old man back then." ”
"Alas. Jing Nan sighed, and did not pick up the topic of the patriarch, but asked on a different topic: "Luo Chen, this child, has been sealed for more than half a month, and he himself completely thinks that he does not have the qualifications for barbarian cultivation, so he has turned to practice the art of alchemy." You said that I sealed his cultivation in the first place, is it wrong or right?"
The patriarch shook his head and said: "His background is unpredictable, he has black energy, and on the day of his blood ceremony, he is like entering a demon, directly absorbing the life of the outside world to increase his cultivation, and if he is domineering, his relatives must not be good." For such a child, it is better to temporarily seal his cultivation. ”
"That's true. Jing Nan thought for a while and said, "You dare to judge that there is a war with a wisp of blood, will it be a bit hasty?"
"Not rushed at all. The patriarch shook his head and said: "This battle may not be able to start in ten or eight years, or it may start in two or three years, but I can feel that once it starts, it will be a battle of life and death!"
"Maybe you're right. Jing Nan stood up and said, "But I also have a hunch that if there is a war, Luo Chen will be able to turn the tide, so I have to find a way to eliminate the black qi and blood on his body." ”
"You can't get rid of the darkness that comes with innate essence blood. ”
"I think something is valuable, and I will definitely go back and try it. ”
Jing Nan got up to leave, pushed open the door, and disappeared into the night.
In the past half a month, Luo Chen has been nesting in the stone house, not going out for half a step, sleeping and eating together with the alchemy book given to him by Beilin. His eyes were red, and his pupils were bloodshot. But he still lay on the first volume of animal skins, which had thousands of words on them, ancient sayings, concise and concise, and each paragraph contained a great deal of information. Half a month has passed, and Luo Chen has only remembered half of it, most of which can only be understood by reading the annotations made by Beilin next to him. It seems that the cultivation of medicine refining is a long way.
Luo Chen knew that everyone was preparing for the war, although everyone was busy and nervous, but there was no sense that there was going to be a crisis. Therefore, Luo Chen still invited the old man in the clan to make an iron tripod for himself, this tripod is only two feet high, and the construction method is relatively rough, and there are no barbarian insects and beasts engraved on the tripod, which is very simple. But it was such a mouthful that could help Luo Chen start trying to refine medicine and accumulate experience for him.
After Luo Chen got this ding, he became even more crazy, often staying awake all night and all night, while reading the alchemy book, he set up a big ding, added firewood to the fire, and put some various herbs into the small ding. Luo Chen's stone house also began to waft a strong smell of herbs to the outside world. Before leaving, Bei Lin gave Luo Chen all the herbs he had stored, letting him explore the way of refining medicine on his own, and also left him a red fourth-order blood pill, this blood pill was very poisonous, but Luo Chen would not be harmed when he went out to collect herbs. This blood pill is invaluable, and it can be regarded as Beilin's wholehearted dedication to Luo Chen.
In this way, nearly a month passed, and Lei Zhen had also reached the cultivation level of blood coagulation, during which he had come to see Luo Chen three times. still supports Luo Chen very much, calls him the eldest brother, and does not despise Luo Chen because of the improvement of his cultivation, which makes Luo Chen very moved. During this time, Luo Chen finally practiced the first Blood Pill.
It was early in the morning. The night before, Luo Chen fell asleep unconsciously, and lay down next to his ding. When he woke up, Xiao Ding made a loud noise, and the top cover was swept away by the qi in the ding, and the liquid in the ding dried up, leaving only a pile of red powder lying quietly at the bottom of the ding.
"Half-Order Blood Pill!"
Luo Chen roared excitedly. He studied art for two years, but he never practiced Yidan, but today he actually practiced it. Originally, what he wanted to refine was a first-order blood pill, but unfortunately, the pill was poisoned and dissipated, and only these pill powders remained, but these powders had reached the level of a half-order blood pill, and the toxicity was not strong, but it was still of extraordinary value. Luo Chen hugged Xiao Ding and laughed. Thanks to Beilin's ability to leave him enough herbs, he was able to practice them after trying so much.
After Luo Chen was excited, he looked at the gradually decreasing herbs in the room, and calculated the time, it was about two months. It's time for me to go out, and now that I have the fifth-order blood pill left by Beilin, I think it's an ordinary place in the wilderness, a place that is not fierce, but you can also go shallowly. Luo Chen found water and washed himself. For many days, he was obsessed with pills and had never sorted them out, his face was smoky, and he looked extremely depressed. After some washing, Luo Chen revealed his original handsome face.
Luo Chen doesn't look like a barbarian person, a barbarian person is generally born with five big and three thick, with a lot of hair, and even the barbarian girl has a hint of burlyness. And Luo Chen was born beautiful and snow-white. Luo Chen changed the animal skin on his body that was blackened by the fireworks, carried the blood pill left to him by Beilin in his arms, and prepared to go out.
When he got to the door, he found a sword in the pestle, a rusty iron sword.
Luo Chen held the sword in his hand, and played with two swords at random, but he also felt that the weight of the sword was appropriate, and it was extremely easy to get up, so he no longer disliked its appearance, and carried the sword on his back. Luo Chen thought that since this was given to him by Lord Jianman, and his tone was very serious at that time, not like a joke. Throwing away the clumsy appearance of this sword, maybe this sword has a special meaning, and I still have to thank Lord Jianman.
Luo Chen made up his mind and went out with his sword. As soon as he went out, he couldn't open his eyes due to the sun, and he didn't go out of the house for many days, and he was still a little uncomfortable. When he cleared his eyes and looked at it, he was shocked by what he saw in the tribe. The bodies of desolate beasts hung everywhere in the clearing of the tribe, some of them several feet long, looking terrible. Colorful furs were also dried in the tribal clearings, and the smell of flesh and blood was permeated by the wind throughout the tribe.
Luo Chen walked dumbfounded, from time to time there were barbarian women rushing to hurry, recently the hunting team has hunted too much prey, and regardless of the grade of meat, whether it is easy to preserve, as long as it can be eaten, all of them have been dragged back to the tribe, and these barbarian women have to be more diligent in steaming, drying and pickling, and they can't let the prey that the hunting team is in danger of fighting rot and spoil. I heard from the clansmen that the hunting team's crazy hunting behavior was retaliated against by the demon beasts in the Great Wilderness, and many people were seriously injured, and even one person was killed. What surprised Luo Chen even more was that the already tall and thick wall outside the tribe was strengthened again, and it was directly repaired to a height of four zhang, and it didn't even mean to stop.
"Is there really a war going on?"
Luo Chen shook his head, turned around and sank into the stone house. He walked straight towards the stone house in Jingnan. The stone house in Jingnan is very ordinary, no different from ordinary people, Luo Chen came to the door, bowed respectfully, and said:
"Lord Jianman, junior Luo Chen asks to see you!"
For a long time, no one in the house agreed. Luo Chen had no choice but to raise his voice and shouted, "Lord Sword Man!
But there was still no answer in the room. At this time, a middle-aged man from the clan came over and said, "Little guy, don't shout, Lord Jianman went out two months ago, and he hasn't come back yet." ”
Luo Chen nodded with a little disappointment, turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Jing Nan's door opening a small crack, as if someone was hiding it. Luo Chen thought maybe Jing Nan was back. He pushed open the door and entered.
Luo Chen's eyes were greeted by a stone table, two stone chairs, a futon, an empty wall dedicated to sword soldiers, and a stone bed. The room was deserted, and it seemed that no one had entered it in a long time. At this time, a roll of animal skin slowly rolled at Luo Chen's feet, this animal skin looked strange, there was no hair on the whole body, but a skin, a skin like a snake python, a black animal skin.
Luo Chen took the scroll of animal skin in his hand. Slowly spread it out to see, Luo Chen's pupils suddenly constricted after reading it, and the animal skin rolled up and fell to the ground. Luo Chen immediately froze in place. It took him a long time to come to his senses, snatch the door out, and rush out.
After Luo Chen left, a figure hiding in the darkness walked out. He slowly picked up the scroll of animal skin, and saw that the scroll of animal skin was written impressively
"Thousands of mountains, infinite opportunities. ”
