Chapter 62: Tiger Bone
Liutian Yingying guarded the half-finished Jiaolong nails in the warehouse, and I took Wang Dazhuang straight to Guo Ye's house.
Although there was a lot of turmoil in the village a few days ago, which made everyone choke enough, Guo Ye is now looking good and full of red light.
The decades-old head of Sanniu Village regained control of the village in the shortest possible time and restored order.
At this time, Guo Ye was lying crooked on the kang, drinking wine freely.
"Tsk~ Xiaoxie, you're back, there must be something wrong with this coming back, right?"
I nodded and smiled:
"I still can't hide it from Guo Ye, now that the water of the Xiaoqing River is soaring again, I have to build a magic weapon to keep the water level down."
"Now the magic weapon is basically completed, but I still need to ask Guo Ye for something."
"I remember that when you were young, you killed a tiger, and the tiger bones are still stored at home."
At the mention of the tiger bone, Guo Ye couldn't help but have some nostalgia on his face, and then looked a little embarrassed.
When Guo Ye was young, he was a well-known good hunter in Sanniu Village, and with a shotgun and an old dog, he could drag back a very big wild boar from the old forest.
Once, Guo Ye went a little farther away to hunt and encountered a fierce tiger in the mountains. Tigers are extremely fast and thick-skinned, making them difficult to deal with even with a shotgun.
In Sanniu Village for decades, there has been no hunter who has been able to escape from the tiger's mouth, but Guo Ye escaped back, and he also dragged the tiger back.
So far, no one knows how Guo Ye killed the tiger, it is said that Guo Ye came back that day and talked to my grandfather for a long night, and then Guo Ye never went into the mountains to hunt again.
However, the tiger bone Guo Ye has been retained, and he plans to use it for his life when he is old.
Now that I opened my mouth to ask for it, Guo Ye just sighed:
"Since you want it, come with me!"
Guo Ye took me to the West Chamber, moved one box after another, and finally found an old wooden box, inside which was a pair of tiger bones tightly wrapped in oiled paper.
I opened the oil paper and touched the yellowish tiger bones, and the true qi in the dantian was stirred, and there was still a trace of tiger power left in this tiger bone.
I frowned, but I still asked Wang Dazhuang to take half of the tiger bones, and keep the remaining half for Guo Ye to make wine.
Guo Ye opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
On the way home, I had a vague feeling that something strange. Although the tiger is the king of beasts, after the ordinary tiger is killed, the power should disappear quickly.
Guo Ye's tiger bones are still powerful after so many years, and they can stimulate my true qi, this tiger is probably not that simple.
But now that the situation is urgent, I don't care about digging into it.
Back at home, the dragon nail is still bare, and it won't take long to be soaked and rotten when thrown into the water, and a protective layer must be applied outside.
It's not that anything can be applied casually to resist the erosion of the river demon's demonic power, I configured a paint according to the recipe on the Han family's codex.
The main ingredient of the paint is the sap of the sumac tree, which is also the main component of ancient paints. In addition to this, I also added cinnabar, ink, Tian Yingying's rune water, etc......
But the most important thing is the tiger bone meal from Guo Ye.
You have to use the tiger's tiger power and the dragon power on the dragon nail to suppress the river demon and make it unable to shake the dragon nail.
I quickly mixed the rest of the paint, and Wang Dazhuang was grinding the bone meal of the tiger bones.
With Wang Dazhuang's strength, not to mention a few bones, even stones can be easily ground, but this tiger bone is terrifyingly hard. Wang Dazhuang used all his strength, but only a small amount was ground.
"Little evil brother, no, it's a little grinding......"
I frowned and looked to the west again.
It had only been a few moments, and the western slopes were already full of fog, and I could even hear the faint roar of the beast when I carried my true qi to my ears.
The zombies in the dungeon are likely to break out, and it's too late.
"It's too late, I don't have time to find a crusher or something else, now as long as you can grind this tiger bone, the lives of the whole village elders are pinned on your strength."
"Da Zhuang, we can only rely on you now!"
I gritted my teeth and said to Wang Dazhuang seriously.
Wang Dazhuang is the most passionate about Sanniu Village, from childhood to adulthood, but whenever a neighboring village dares to say that Sanniu Village and the people in our village are not good, Dazhuang will beat him with a peach blossom on his face.
Therefore, although Sanniu Village is the poorest, no one dares to bully the people in our village, which is all due to Wang Dazhuang.
Now Wang Dazhuang was ruthless, his eyes widened, and he was grinding tiger bones like crazy, and his rough hands were blistered by him.
Soon, he grinded out a small half bowl of bone meal.
I stirred up the paint, gritted my teeth and said:
"That's enough, so be it, now pour in the bone meal!"
The bone meal was poured into the paint I had blended, and the paint quickly turned black, so I quickly applied it to the dragon nails.
Now, the Jiaolong nail is finally complete!
Wang Dazhuang carried the Jiaolong nail, and we went straight to Xiaoqing River, the time was too short.
……
When I came to Xiaoqing River, the river was already tumbling, and the bronze mirror hanging under the bridge was crumbling. Thanks to the dragon nails that we have made now, if it is any later, I am afraid it will be really too late.
"Little evil brother, what are we going to do now?"
Facing the surging Xiaoqing River, Wang Dazhuang's face turned slightly pale, and he couldn't help but take half a step back.
Wang Dazhuang, who is infinitely powerful and thick-skinned, is actually a landlubber, which few people know.
"That's it all here, nail the dragon to me."
I asked Wang Dazhuang to wait on the shore, boarded the small stone bridge with Tian Yingying, nailed the dragon to the bottom of the bridge, and threw it straight down.
The true qi in the dantian was surging, and I could feel that the dragon nail was rising with a dragon and tiger coiled momentum, and with a suppressive force, it pressed down towards the things in the river.
And in the tumbling river, there is also a force that is desperately resisting.
"Han Xiaoxie, how can this be?"
After throwing the dragon nail down, Tian Yingying glanced down and exclaimed.
I hurriedly watched it too-
With the weight of the dragon nail, it stands to reason that it should be able to pierce directly to the bottom of the river, but the river water is surging so badly that the dragon nail is forced to float on the river, but it can't be nailed.
A large wooden stake floating vertically on the surface of the river, it was so strange that I had seen it for the first time in my life.
"Huh, it seems that the river demon Dao here is indeed terrifying, and it has resisted the suppression of the dragon nail, no wonder grandpa wanted to hang the dragon slaying sword here back then."
"However, it failed to fly out of the top of the dragon nail, which means that the dragon nail can still suppress it."
"Then there is only one way to suppress it now, someone has to go into the water......"
Hearing the word "going into the water", Tian Yingying, who was beside me, turned pale.
