Chapter 20: The Book of Mountains
"That old blind man is willing to give this to you, and this can be regarded as your creation." "What? This book is so powerful! Chen Xiaobraid returned home after dealing with the skeleton centipede, and talked to his father about the things he had encountered in the past two days, and he didn't want the book that Liu Blind gave to Chen Xiaobraid, which really surprised Chen Laogou.
"The mountain scriptures of the southern sect of treasure holders record all kinds of treasures in the world in great detail, and they are also very extensive. It's a good thing. After listening to his father's introduction, Chen Xiaobraid understood that this book is called "The Book of Mountains", which records many spiritual treasures in the world, and Xianjia Mountain is a big treasure, and ordinary people can't get a few in their lives. But what the treasure holder is trying is precious herbs or things that exist around him, but ordinary people don't know it.
"This old blind man's trick has several purposes, one is to repay the favor I saved him back then, and the other is that there is no successor to their faction, and if you get this mountain scripture, you can be regarded as passing on their faction. Besides, the treasure you have gained because of this must pass through his hands, and he can continue to make money without losing ......."
Chen Laogou also understood that the main purpose of Liu Blind to give this "Book of Mountains" to Chen Xiaobraid was to repay his kindness. Secondly, this blind man Liu can't walk the mountain because of his eyes, and the gateway of his faction is absolutely amazing. It can be regarded as leaving an incense for the people of Xianjia Mountain to inherit the "Book of Mountains". Again, Liu Blind also knows that the Chen family's father and son are moral people, and if they really use the "Book of Mountains" to hold back any treasures, they must still go through his hands, which is a win-win situation.
"In this way, Uncle Liu is really cunning and calculating......" "You can't say that, he is still optimistic about you, and you have to thank others for your craftsmanship." Chen Xiaobraid listened to Chen Laogou's analysis, and had a new understanding of the way of doing things in the old rivers and lakes of Liu Blind.
"The vision of our people in Xianjia Mountain is too high, and we always want to get rare treasures in the world, in fact, there are good things everywhere in this world, and they are not so dangerous, you can take a good look at this book."
Chen Laogou did not recommend that Chen Xiaobraid take a big risk to find rare treasures in the world, if he could be like an ordinary person who holds treasures, it would be good to eat and drink in ordinary life.
"Okay, for Uncle Liu's sake that he is blind, I'll help him more in the future." "Pathetic? Blind is blind, but I don't feel pitiful. Chen Xiaobraid got Liu Blind's "Mountain Classic" and listened to his experience, and couldn't help but feel that Liu Blind was also a little pitiful. But when his father heard the word pitiful, he was stunned...... Chen Laogou took a puff of cigarette and told his son about what he knew about Liu Blind.
"He is one of the richest people in our town, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the richest man."
"What? Richest? That old guy is so rich! ”
"Haha, you're still too young!"
It turned out that although this blind man was blind, he didn't lose his skills, and when Chen Xiaobraid heard the words richest man, he was so shocked that he almost dropped his chin on the ground.
In the center of the bazaar, in a very beautiful two-story western-style building......
"Husband, you're back!" "I'm back." It turns out that this is the home of the blind man Liu, he not only has such a magnificent small western-style building, but also has a very beautiful and sexy young daughter-in-law.
"You rest first, I'll go put bathwater for you and cook." "Don't forget to give me a kettle of good wine." Blind Liu is a fortune-telling old blind man on the surface, but he can do business in private to buy and sell rare treasures, and he has really made a lot of money over the years.
For those who can enjoy life, Liu Blind is much better than Chen Laogou, after all, in this society, there are really a lot of things that can be done with money.
"This old guy is so rich? And such a beautiful daughter-in-law? ”
"Well, what's wrong?"
"He's my idol in life, a guiding light! Uncle Liu, accept me as your godson! I'm going to learn from you. ”
Chen Laogou's Liu Blind Man completely subverted Chen Xiaobraid's recognition of him, at this time he stood up in shock, Chen Laogou saw him so excited, thinking that he was angry with Liu Blind, but then Chen Xiaobraid's words made Chen Laogou almost vomit blood.
Of course, Chen Xiaobraid didn't really go to Liu Blind to recognize his godfather, but found a quiet place to sit down and study the "Book of Mountains".
Since this "Book of Mountains" is even praised by Chen Laogou, and he can make money to become a rich man like Liu Blind, how can pigtails not be concerned? What's more, his father couldn't help himself with the things he was preparing to deal with Tujiao during this time, so he could only find something else to do.
I thought that when I read a book, it would be like when I was in school, not only did I have a headache and I slept quickly, but I didn't want to, and he was quickly attracted by the content of the book.
This "Book of Mountains" records a lot of rare birds and beasts, heavenly spirits and treasures, some of which his father said, and some of them are completely beyond his imagination, and the "Book of Mountains" has divided the world's jewelry system into grades......
According to the "Book of Mountains", our world is formed by the collision of many meteorites in the universe, and those meteorites have their own peculiarities, these meteorites scattered everywhere are called Tianbao, which are extremely precious, and are divided into upper, middle and lower three classes according to their efficacy.
The jewels formed by various animals and plants in the world over time are called earth treasures, which are also divided into upper, middle and lower categories according to their rarity. There are also many treasures in the ordinary life of people recorded in the "Book of Mountains", such as horses have Ma Bao, cattle have bezoars, and the "Book of Mountains" records in detail what kind of horse Ma Bao will grow on.
Chen Xiaobraid is more and more fascinated by it, he used to know that he was fooling around behind his father, and he remembered what he saw and heard, and he never thought that there would be such a mystery in this world.
In the days to come, Chen Xiaobraid will soak in the "Book of Mountains" to learn new knowledge whenever he has time, and he will never get tired of it.
A month has passed since then......
In the past month, Chen Laogou has not been idle, he is afraid that the pigtail will make a mistake, and the things used to deal with the soil Jiao are all made by him.
That afternoon, Chen Laogou made a powerful bow and crossbow from the bow board of the car and placed the arrows he had made by himself. I want to try the effect. Chen Laogou drew the bowstring full, his eyes aimed, and he was ready to shoot the bow and arrows......
"Dad, I'm back." At this time, Chen Xiaobraid happily pushed open the door and came back.
As soon as the courtyard door was pushed open, suddenly a sharp arrow with a strong wind shot into the door frame, less than ten centimeters away from Chen Xiaobraid's face, and he was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out instantly.
"Dad, you're going to murder your own son!" "Who asked you to come in at this time?" Seeing that the crossbow arrow was shot by his father, the pigtail rushed into the yard and shouted. In fact, Chen Laogou had already heard his footsteps outside the yard, but if he wanted to tease him, how could he really hurt him.
"Dad, you're... Do you want to open a factory? But when Chen Xiaobraid entered the yard and saw the things in the yard, he was deeply taken aback.
It turned out that Chen Laogou was very well prepared this time, not only prepared the usual gold wire nets, bows and crossbows and other things, but also some things that even Chen Xiaobraid couldn't name, and piled up a yard full of them.
Chen Xiaobraid even saw a large electrical appliance and bundles of cables that he didn't know what to do with it. He really couldn't figure out how these things could deal with that Tujiao.
"That Tujiao is very powerful, you don't need to be ruthless." "And how much does it cost?" "It's worth the amount of money spent on that thing." Chen Laogou didn't explain so much to Chen Xiaobraid, but just said that these things were to be used. Judging from the things prepared, for this Tujiao Chen Lao Dog really used all his abilities.
Chen Xiaobraid knew that these things were bought with money, and he couldn't help but feel distressed, and just wanted to complain to his father, when he was suddenly attracted by a few shiny things on the ground.
"It's... Isn't it? What gold ingots are used for? What Chen Xiaobraid saw were the bows and crossbow arrows placed on the ground, all of them shining with golden light, and Chen Xiaobraid couldn't help but think of the gold ingots he had taken out of the purple gold treasure toad's nest.
"Iron and steel are inherently hostile and will make the earth Jiao guard, while gold is treasure, so it can't be guarded against." It turned out that he really guessed correctly, his father really used those things to create arrowheads, and Chen Xiaobraid's heart was bleeding at this time. However, his father said that this golden arrow does not have the anger of steel, and the hit rate will be higher, and the pigtail has to keep his mouth shut.
"It's millions of people who beat that Tujiao, don't count it as a small account." "Okay, then I'll forgive you." Chen Laogou knew that his son was distressed at this time, so he immediately lost no time in tempting the value of the soil jiao, and sure enough! Chen Xiaobraid's mood immediately improved a lot.
"yes, it's about taking a long-term view. Okay, let's take out that Dingfeng Pill! "Dingfeng Dan?" Seeing that the time was ripe, Chen Laogou asked Xiao Braid again to ask for the Dingfeng Pill he got.
"Do you think I'll not know about the Wind-Fixing Pill you got from that skeleton centipede?"
"Daddy! I can't get in it! You can't live like this! ”
"Alright, less nonsense. Take it out! ”
Thinking that the baby he got in that trip was also remembered by his father, the pigtail's heart suddenly felt like it had been cut by a knife.
That night, on the west hill of Coffin Village......
"Dad, what are we doing here this big night?" After Chen Laogou took the Dingfeng Pill, he took Chen Xiaobraid to the small broken temple on the west mountain.
"Remember what I told you about the grey fairy I brought with me before? It's here. "It turned out that Chen Laogou came here to visit the gray fairy he received back then, and because he was injured by Tujiao, this gray fairy has been cultivating here.
"Go tell Ash I'm coming." Chen Laogou came to the small broken temple and spoke to the tattered wall, but Chen Xiaobraid looked carefully for a long time and found nothing.
But as soon as his father's words fell, Chen Xiaobraid saw a lot of rats running around the ruined temple. A very large mouse seemed to understand Chen Laogou's words, and turned his head into a hole, and after a while, a large mouse with red eyes poked its head out of the hole.
When the mouse came out, Chen Xiaobraid saw clearly that the mouse was nearly a foot long, with a pure black coat, and it looked very human.
"I've made you suffer for the past few years." Old Dog Chen stepped forward and kept petting the big mouse. And the mouse was also very affectionate to Chen Laogou, and arched Chen Laogou's palm with his head from time to time.
"This Dingfeng Pill is good for your injuries, eat it quickly." Chen Laogou took out the Dingfeng Pill, and the mouse also understood that this was a good thing, so he straightened up and looked at Chen Laogou gratefully.
"There's no need to be polite between the two of us, let's eat quickly." This gray fairy was injured for the sake of Chen Laogou in the tomb of the Demon King, and Chen Laogou has always felt very guilty for this. However, he had also saved the life of the gray fairy many times, and the relationship between them could not be measured by value for a long time.
"Don't worry, I will definitely destroy that earth dragon and rescue the red dragon. And avenge the suffering of both of you over the years. I saw that the gray fairy had eaten the Dingfeng Pill, and Chen Laogou told it about how he was going to deal with the earth Jiao.
After talking to Gray Fairy for a while, Old Dog Chen got up and prepared to leave with pigtails. The grey fairy raised her paws, as if to say goodbye, and then turned back into the cave. The medicinal power of this Dingfeng Pill is very strong, and it is estimated that it will take several years to digest.
"Don't look at it, go back. It's best to prepare when you go back, we're going to have a big battle with that Tujiao! Chen Xiaobraid used to listen to his father talk about this gray fairy, but it was the first time he saw it, and he felt that this gray fairy was not as disgusting as ordinary rats at all, but was extremely humane, and he immediately felt good about it.
After arranging the gray fairy, Chen Laogou's heart was all on dealing with the earth Jiao at this time. But what Chen Xiaobraid cares about is that the high cost of those investments must be fully recovered......
"Ask all the gods to bless us, bless us and we must succeed, otherwise all the money will be wasted!"
"What are you muttering there?"
"Uh... Not... It's nothing, just a prayer, hoping that we will succeed in defeating the Tujiao. ”
"Call Dagang, tomorrow night the tomb of the Demon King of Beiling will be a dozen earth jiao."
"Okay, I'll arrange. By the way, Dad, how much is that Tujiao worth all over his body? ”
"Two or three million! What's wrong? ”
"Hehe, it's nothing, just encourage yourself. You know, money makes me more powerful! ”
